#YOU FINNA START A RIOT

[hispanic-child-of-hermes]

“Cause I literally have nothing to do.”

Open starter: Best Friend

Anastasia

Anastasia definitely 100% did not like Finley.

She only got butterflies when she laughed, but everyone felt that with their best friends.

She only felt fuzzy feeling in her chest whenever she would brush hands with her, or give her a hug, but that was normal.

It was all normal.

Right?

She was waiting for Finley to finish sword practice, which wasn't out of the ordinary for them.

She watched her, as she swung. She was so good at it, it took Anastasia's breath away.

We're at the denial stage ladies and gents

"They call me rizz lord"

Mikey, Baji, Kazutora x Reader

Summary: they got with someone good with people...maybe too good...

Notes: BANDORI ANNON IM WORKING ON IT M8. l was in the middle of writing Mikey's part then realized y/n's kinda like Sakamoto and Aoi akane.. Finna use story beats from both of em 😼. So yea....ALSO TR SEASON 2 DROPPED

Warnings: Down horrendous background characters. There's a shit ton of references-. sus remarks, swearing, Manga spoilers in kazutoras part

Gender Neutral Reader

He feels warm and fuzzy around you no doubt you two started dating the problem was...that's the reason a lot of people like you too....a whole crowd in fact

You could be walking around the halls with him "you need the homework? I have the answers ^^" "AH Y/N DOING HOMEWORK HOW STUDIOUS" "?" "THEY LOOKED AT MEEE I MIGHT FAINT" you look at them walking faster covering your eyes "Mikey as soon as we turn the corner we run"

He's heard tales of you mostly told by simps. what he didn't know if that they might be true....he's seen you rizz up fountains because your friends wanted to drink out of the fountain you were using. "Bro watch this" they mimic how you spoke to your friend "And then when they bent over to drink it the water started spraying out all over!" "And then they fliped their head back turning to face us in embarrassment!" "REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAID" they clear their throat "oh! Why hello?" The two fans squeal. He's...impressed and also scared.

He's gonna use it as a teasing point "heyyy don't break the sink alright~" "Mikey I beg of you-" "hehe~"

He's also gonna use you to get things he wants. "Listen I'm gonna need you to go in get some dorayaki, come out" "Why are we huddled down behind the building like it's a sneak mission?" "It is!" He jokes. You walk in buy one dorayaki and end up with five. "Crazy they said it was on the house" "YES"

He doesn't mind your simps as long as they don't bother him! He likes going "that's nice" to people telling stories about you and then internally smirking at the fact you two are dating.

Pdas something that's gonna leave the crowd rioting. Everyone thinks you two are close friends till they see you kiss him goodbye or hold his hand. Then they just forget the next day because you breathed near them.

Speaking of pda he suddenly shows ALOT of it when your friend comes up to you. "Oh hi (c/n!)" He's hugging you from behind moving his hands along your clothing to fiddle with it "Y/n! I was hoping you could-" "They're not interested" Mikey pulls you away slowly. your friend and you are confused but they say it anyway "You mind joining me to get some food this weekend" "NO" "Sure!" You waved bye to your friend as Mikey dragged you out of sight.

If he ever came to visit he always notices the house is sparkling clean and lively. It's comforting plus it's your house! He's staying over! Called it no take backs! "Mikey this is the third time...maybe I'll go sleep at yours one of these days" he's kept his house clean ever since you said that. Nearly as sparkling as yours

Lower ranks in the gang often talk about you. "Bro y/n" "THEYRE SO FUCKING CUTE" "IKR" "aren't they in the gardening club?" They all pause "finna start gardening" "YES SIRR" they join the next day finding you in the field. "Lemme help you out with that shawty" "thank you?" "Your wel-" He notices Mikey next to you at that second a little carrot sticker on his face. "Yo <3" They still show up to help out with the school garden too scared to flirt with you. "Yo I heard you tried asking out someone your interested in what happened?" "The boss is already trying to rizz them up"

A student and you made an agreement that they could take pictures of you. You didn't mind after all they're paying you but they started noticing something weird in the pictures. A ghost staring at the camera it's always so close to you. They told you about it pointing at the ghost. "Interesting" you inspect it to make sure it wasn't your boyfriend being a goof. After a full minute of staring you ask "you close to Mikey Sano?" "No" "...shit" you go to the copying room. "Oh hey y/n-" "hi Mikey" you push him aside putting your face in the copying machine. Both of them looked at each other. "Sooo um-" "here..." they show Mikey the pictures. "So should we place salt around the room?" "Idk" "You know its mouth is different in each of these" The photographer looks back at the images and they try to read the ghosts lips Mikey peaking over. "tear m-" "please don't continue Mikey..." suddenly a gust of wind flies the papers you've copied out the window. "The hell did you do-" "I gave our ghost friend a response <3" You walk out the room smiling "if they ever come back tell me. Also that's 5 bucks added to my paycheck this Friday for extended hours" "what-"

He finds it strange how you're so calm when doing things that fluster the average person. Like holding a live bug in your hand after catching that mf mid-air...God that was terrifying....Or the time you let him lay his head on your lap...when he's supposed to be at a meeting. If a toman member ever found you and him they would shout "BOSS" and he would nearly run down to make them can it. "YO BOSS" "boss?" "Sorry gotta go!" "WAIT WHAT ABOUT YOUR COAT-" he runs back and grabs it "cover your eyes and don't open em till I say" you cover your eyes as he runs down "YOU CAN LOOK NOW" you couldn't even say bye as he's zooming off. "The next time you call me boss in front of them were gonna have problems" he pulls the member's cheeks. "Yes sir!"

You decided to try your siblings skin care routine while they were away...on Mikey... "OK then that piece of shit rubs a rock in their ugly ass face...bitch looks like a rock" he'd never hear you talk about someone like that about someone. Giggling awkwardly at some of their comments. "Why do you hate your sibling so much-" "they're an asshole you wouldn't understand you're pretty soft" "huh-" "you heard me your soft" DO YOU KNOW WHO YOURE TALKING TO RIGHT NOW?! He pulls you into his chest. "I have you know I'm the opposite of soft" "oh really?" You grab his arm. "Your hands says otherwise" "that's not what I ment!" "You're pretty soft Sano" you place his hand on your cheek. Damn you and your charm. You take out your phone taking a picture of his face. "HEY!" "using this as your contact"

Some students decided to interview people around school coming up to you and Mikey. "So y/n what's your type?" You pause in your conversation with Mikey. "Guys with abs and a cute personality. I-" you went on a whole speech about cute guys the crew weren't even sure if they should tell you to stop "BUT THEN there's cute girls" "Alright that's enough" "HEY MIKEY LET ME TELL THEM" "You've done enough telling for today" The next day everyone was either ripped or look like they just came off the cute girl tab on pintrest. "What have I done..." "you've made everyone even more of your bitch..." "does that mean...😏" "...no"

If Takemichi were to go to the future you'd always disappear with Mikey, or become untouchable by the gang. In every outcome, you'd always have Mikey's contact info. Some timeliness you two broke up due to him distancing himself for your safety. The times Takemichi did end up talking to you you'd either say. "Don't bring up Mikey like I fuck with him" "He won't tell me his whereabouts either..." "After high school, we kinda drifted sorry man" he could tell that with each of these answers you still somewhat cared for him.

All the inside jokes about him not folding and simping. He did..."You're like the geek you were before around them" "NOT TRUE" "what about the time you two had to go on the train together and they brushed your hand and started talking to you" "eh-" "or the time you muttered while speaking to them" "Chifuyu I think you had enough fun for today..." "you're a simp~" "shut up"

There was a fight at school and someone thought it would be a good idea to throw a potted plant from the gardening club. Unluckily for them you were there and caught it. "EY WHAT THE HELL MAN" "Don't bring the plants into this fight off of school grounds" "oh shit y/n-" litterally everyone stopped fighting just to look at you. "Shit bbg my bad TAKE EM BACK BOYS" "YOU TOOK MORE-" you turned to Baji "You alright" "Tf you mean am I alright" "...you know what maybe the gardening club wouldn't mind" He's been slightly scared of you since but hey atleast he didn't get socked in the face by big Gertrude

You two met a second time on a blind double date. "Oh hey, you're that dude that almost got hit in the face by Gertrude!" "My names Baji.." "Baji! What a nice name!" He could tell you wanted to rip your head off. "so um why did they drag you here?" "They wanted me to "get out the house" or something.." "felt" "yea..whyed your friend drag you here?" "They promised food" you two had a long talk and ended up getting along. You two kept finding each other at the same places and became friends only to start dating a few months later

He doesn't like your "fans" All they really do is talk about you and say the most strange things too. Until he released most of the stories were true. Like the time you started playing a song...ON YOUR ARM. How does that even, what huh what he doesn't understand you but hey...if it works it works...

He also isn't surprised you're popular enough for people to actually listen to your speech at the end of the year. He doesn't mind hearing it either your voice is nice on the ears. Then a student came up on stage with a bat. "Shut up will you!" He tries to run up to you and take a swing when you dodge perfectly taking the mic. "Dreams are near impossible if you don't try" you leave your foot out for the troublesome student to fall on subduing him. "Which is why I recommend trying in class!" The crowd exploded into screams of praise. The speech was so boring but that part? 10/10

You got involved with the gang...Takemichi and Chifuyu often come up to you and they brought you to a spot used for a meeting on the same day. "Baji?" "Y/n?" "Why are you here? Takemichi said this was a private meeting point" "...." He gives Takemichi a death stare before turning back to you. "Let's go get something to eat if you're done here" "alright!" He leads you out putting his jacket over your shoulders. "It's not even cold-" "shush"

Eventually toman learns about you fully and welcomes you in with open arms. They treat you like a little sibling, telling you not to go somewhere their about to fight, telling you who to avoid. "Remember these guys are fucking nuts" "he's kinda pretty tho" "HE'S LITERALLY APART OF A GANG THAT BEATS PEOPLE UP FOR BREATHING" "I'd let him" "....you're a lost cause"

You often carry around multiple hair ties so when he's asleep and conveniently sleeping on his stomach you try to tie his hair into pigtails. You try not to laugh but it's pretty hard when your friends are pretending to play ping pong with his snores sounding like a ball hitting the paddle. "bro wtf are you two doing" "shush shush watch this" your friend swings his arm in rhythm with Banji's snores. You sigh trying not to let out a giggle

You've kept Banji alive for longer that he was intended witch is great the problem is that usually when he time jumps he ends up meeting you as a member of Toman being a high executive or if Baji died in that future you would swear revenge becoming a detective. Those detective endings end in you getting murdered by a toman leader or you having small details you're able to share with him. On regular occasions, he found you and Baji on a date.

You manhandled him once...You had a playful argument with him at gardening club. You were planting when he kept stepping on crops. "You're messing it up Baji..." "sorry sorry" "that's the third time" you sigh fixing it again as he nearly ruins another. You getting slightly annoyed tell Banji to stay near the brick wall. "Don't resist alright" "what are you-" You pick him up and place him down on the flat part of the wall. "Now you can't fuck up the plants" he's kinda concerned that you can manhandle him. Kinda scared of what you'll be able to do to Draken...

Some students are pretty jealous of this natural talent of infinite rizz. So they decided to mess with you a bit. They took your desk somehow. The morning you got to where your desk should have been you sat at the open windowsill. "Please get off the window y/n" "it's the perfect spot of the perfect s/o!!" "You're not even dating" You got down listening to the teacher walking up to Baji "You mind if we share a seat-" despite the fact you whispered people turned their heads to you two moving over their seats. "IM CLEARLY THE BETTER PICK SIT WITH ME" "Y/N I BEG OF YOU PLEASE" "I HAVE NOTES FROM LAST CLASS" the classroom went ballistic as you sat down with Baji sharing the seat. "How do you stop them-" "I don't know anymore..."

You two play video games together and turns out people don't have to see you for then to nearly instantly fall in love with you... "damn wish I didn't get splatted so much.." "we could double team!" "Thx!" The whole teams blocking you now. They don't even allow people on the other team to talk shit. "Really it's fine I'm not using the same weapon anymore" "I'll still stay with you!" "Same!" He's pretty chill about it but asks to play games that don't have an online feature

He does wish he could have you to himself sometimes without people going ballistic over you. So he saved up and took you somewhere people wouldn't recognize you two. A nice quiet spot for you two. "This is a nice spot. The views great! I really can't thank you enough for bringing me here" he feels proud of himself "don't mention it!"

You took him to karaoke as a way to repay him. You two had a blast but he did notice a few weird things. One, when you sung a bunch of people hoarded on the glass outside. Turns out someone left your door open. WHATS WORSE is that they left as soon as he got up to sing, like wtf is he not that good of a singer 😾. Secound, you mostly sang in another language don't get me wrong he liked your singing he just didn't know what you were saying and when he asked you giggled before saying "it's about a girl in love with a dude trying to confess to him before he moves" Just off the giggle and the held in laughs while you sung he's sure you're singing that languages version of the most lewd song known to man

Whenever you two are about to sleep. you can't help touching his checks. Pinching them a bit. If he ever wakes up while you're doing this you'd try to pull away to make sure he didn't notice sometimes he'd pull you in closer. You could hear him mumble something about warmth before closing his eyes again. You can't help but fall asleep shortly after waking up to the hand on your waist now resting on your face.

S A V E H I M

You and your unimaginable charm has made you nearly untouchable until you decided to partner up with him on a task. You did this multiple times and began hanging out after school. He found you slightly annoying thinking that this is how you treated everyone. He only learned later that excluding the people that surrounded you you only considered 3 other people friends excluding himself. He's pissed he feels special. "They're just using you for popularity points" he repeats to himself.

His opinion on you shifted when valentines day rolled around. "Oh hey, Kazutora!" You run up to him. "Y/n..." "Don't y/n.. me let's see what you got" you look so excited you could hardly keep it together. He opens his locker finding a small plush and candy. "It had a letter!" "No need to yell-" he opens up the letter you reading it with him. It read: "Shit bbg I stopped using Google when I found you out cause my search was over" "who in their right mind" "💀" You open your locker only to be flooded with letters. A wave that almost moved you off your feet. "Really hate when this happens" he looks over. "You were prepared for this?" "Yea this happens every year...I read them all over at home and respond" you sigh. "If it makes em happy" you picked up the notes putting them in a spare bag. Kazutora bent down to help. You two gathered the letters into the bag and began your school day. When kazutora got back to his locker later he found another note. "I forgot to ask for your contact info...anyway wanna go to a dinner after school?-y/n" He could tell you tried extra hard on the letter with the same fancy seal on it as the anonymous one. "Oh so you found it! Thank god. Wait does this mean-" "Sure" you slightly shocked. "Oh um...pretty straightforward...let's go?"

When you two started dating he almost completely changed. He's shown to be alot more soft and less careful around you. "You were always so on edge before..." You say while rubbing his cheek. "You're so cute <3" he doesn't respond only clinging to you closer. "So cute~"

He never tells you about the gang and avoids you ever getting involved doesn't stop them from simping tho. "Y/n's pretty popular" "y/n?!" "They're pretty cute" "maybe we cou-" "maybe what" The member was met with Kazutora's looking down at them with a pipe in hand "MAYBE WE COULD ASK FOR TUTORING" "...keep away from them" "alright" the member turns around "who's Kazutora for telling me what to do" The next day the member asks you for help on a homework task. You two stayed back after school as you two settled down he noticed that kazutora was with you. "What's he doing here-" "He needed help on the same task" he didn't he just sat there menacingly as you tried to teach the member. "Crazy he seemed kinda scared" "don't worry about it"

You two joke about your infinite rizz. "It's all fun and games till they hear your morning voice" "my morning voice is fine" "you sound like a grown man..." "pfftt noo i don't ~" he could perfectly recount the time you slept in the same room the first time. He wakes up his arms around you "good morning" "good morn shawty" he jumps outta the end grabbing the nearby lamp. "you good-" "WHY IS YOUR VOICE SO DAMN DEEP" "idk what you're talking about-" "do you not hear yourself talking?!?" "Stfu and go back to bed" "..." He's been in a lot of situations and he'll admit hearing your morning voice for the first time is in his top 3 in scariest ones and it isn't number 3

He hates admitting it but he loves seeing you turn other people down by straight up telling them you have a boyfriend. Sometimes they wouldn't accept the fact you're taken so he gladly pops into existence to sock them in the head.

The one time you left the room you left a hair clip in the same room as him. "What is this" he squeezes the back, the clip opening up. Curiosity gets the best of him as he closes the clamp on his lips, nose, ear-. "What are you doing-" he looks at you like a dear in headlights "is that my mom's hairclip" "No idea what you're talking about" "...it's literally on your lip" "No it isn't" He looks away like an ashamed child being caught red-handed "Take it out" he looks away more "come on Kazutora~" he takes it out and gives it too you after much convincing. "geez that took too long"

"Maybe I should get you a matching earring" "oh?" He got the idea thinking it's a way to mark you as his without making it super obvious. "The earring looks kinda heavy-" "you'll get used to it" "Alright?" I mean it's not like he has the other one on his person...oh he does..."hold still" you try not the flinch as he inserts the earring into your ear. He holds up his phone camera flipping it so you could see yourself. "What do you think?" "It's nice...but still pretty heavy" your head moves with the weight of the earring. "Might have to only wear this on special occasions" "you'll get used to wearing them everyday!" He's like a puppy excited to see it's caretaker after a while. "Well see but for now I don't wanna break it"

In the future you two are still constantly around each other, he was right about the earring thing too you now only take off the earring when you're about to sleep. "Takemichi...you broke Hina's heart this time I'll make sure you turn into a woman by the end of this" you crack your fingers. "Hey hey we could talk this out-" "is that the same thing you said to Hina when you cheated on her" "I just wanted to ask where Kazutora was and I'll be on my way!" "...he's at his job" "tha-" he couldn't get another word out before you socked him. "She treated you well for such scum" The only timelines where you were even slightly kind to him were when he'd slowly become more powerful in the ranks. You didn't respect him but you just couldn't sock him immediately. He's terrified of you even in the past just off of those interactions.

He remembers hearing positive rumors about you and didn't think they were true since they seemed kinda fake. Then he remembered you using the janitor's bucket almost like a scooter... "is that even allowed" "WHO CARES ITS Y/N" "Bro they're being zesty again-"

He likes pda but mostly prefers private displays of affection. Can't let people know he has a soft spot around you ya know. He can't help leaning in to kiss you but it'll be so embarrassing if someone that knows him found you two in that moment. He's also afraid of what will happen if other gangs found out you two were in a relationship so try to keep pda on the down low alright!

He usually hates candy but whenever you two bake something together or you buy him sweets his distain for sweets somehow disappears when you do something for or with him. "Its for the school news show come on!" "If I get a cavity I blame you" "just try it Kazutora" people surround you two like wild animals finding prey after that post went up. "AH Y/N DID YOU REALLY MAKE ALL OF THEM YOURSELF" "I did most of them with Kazutora" "As long as you're part of its creation I'll eat it" "thank you?"

You sleep on him sometimes. People go ham when they see your sleeping face so he's learned to cover your face with a newspaper or something. Keeps simps away and the sun out if your eyes! He also asks you to put your face more inward. "Why so my face would get closer 😏" "do you like the sun in your eyes when sleeping?" "Oh...AWW YOU CARE ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT. YOURE SO CUTE KAZUTORA!" "I'm right next to you" "you're adorable even with your banana hair <3"

He would come to your house bruised up. "what happened?" "I fell while coming over nothing too bad!" You look at him worried helping him inside "I'm gonna go get a first aid kid alright! Don't move" you run to your bathroom leaving Kazutora alone. He kinda wished you left him with at least a plush he could punch, he's so jealous of those things. You come down with a blanket and first aid kit. "Alright hold still" you patch him up rubbing his cheeks when you finish. "Kazutora...the next time you come into my house lying to me while bruised im going to snap you like a lego brick" Your voice suddenly changes back to its regular cheerful tone "alright!" "Yes y/n!" Now he just doesn't tell you or thinks up a convincing lie while going over.

🧊 There’s slime videos, drawing videos with lofi music in the back, your basic encouraging quotes

🧊 Who needs therapy when you got Shouto’s fyp? /j

🧊 He may be a lil...offbeat in your dance videos but he still tries. Thankfully this was an easy one to learn.

🧊 You think he finna take that shit? He’s gonna buck TF back, on reflex, and scare the fuck out of you.

🧊 Immediately goes into protective boyfriend mode after seeing you flinch hard. You should expect a tight hug; he’s rubbing your back while the whole clip rolling.

🧊 “Love, I’m sorry but why did you move to hit me? I didn’t mean to scare you I’m sorry.”

🧊 “Baby, It’s okay that was the challenge.”

🧊 “Yes, but you looked so scared and it was my fault,” he wraps his arms tighter around you so you’re snuggled safely into his chest.

🧊 Post it with captions of what he said during the video and see all the comments talm bout “⚠️‼️WARNING‼️HAPPY COUPLE⚠️”

💥 It’s known Bakugou knows no fucking challenge on that app.

💥 Except for that buss it challenge. He’s keeping tabs on yo ass.

💥 His fyp is comprised of prisontok (thank mtha for this), mortalkombat edits, and recommendations for shoujo mangas DC comics.

💥 He already knows the drill, you teach him the dance, he does it with no care, you post it.

💥 This one is fairly easy… until you attempt to press him

💥 He runs up on you, chest puffed up, arms tense and hanging straight. That intimidation stance.

💥 “What you tryna do? We can tussle right now wassup.” Now you gotta deal with him pressing you as you finish the dance.

💥 When he realizes you’re laughing, he just sucks his teeth before lightly pushing you.

💥 “Why am I even dating you?”

💥 The biggest tsundere simp on the earth.

💥 He loves you so much but you always test him.

🥦 Umm All Might edits runs his fyp.

🥦 The occasional analytic reports on recent and past villain attacks are there too.

🥦 Only gets a smidge of alt tiktok so it ain’t that boring.

🥦 Doesn’t know the dance either but he’ll do it just for you <3

🥦 Never expects you to fucking buck at him tho.

🥦 Mans flinch mad hard omg.

🥦 He removes his hands from his face when he hears you laugh and continue the dance.

🥦 Now he stopped, looking at you with the saddest puppy eyes.

🥦 “Why did you flinch at me baby?” He’s just standing in the frame all pouty and shit.

🥦 “Prince(ss), please don’t do that again. You honestly scared me.” He walks off in the middle of the video, his fluffy duck house slippers squeaking with every step.

🥦 Go say you’re sorry right now 🧍🏽‍♀️

⛑ Crimson Riot edits duhh

⛑ But it’s a mixture of Bakugou’s and Todoroki’s with a sprinkle of popular dances down his stream.

⛑ Has Ski Mask edits as well

⛑ Still, he doesn’t know the dance at all

⛑ Baby boy is so sweet cause the second you buck at him...he just plants one straight on your lips thinking you went in for a kiss.

⛑ Shocked, bamboozled, frozen, he really kissed you as you tried to buck him?

⛑ Mans continued the dance like you’re not wide-mouthed behind him.

⛑ “Bro, I know you did not just kiss me when I tried to buck you.” The whole badman vibes just dissipate from the air, he smiling at you like it was cool.

⛑ “Babe,” he whined. “I thought you just wanted a smooch.”

⛑ Seeing you mad, he just grabs you up and launches more kisses on your face.

⛑ You tried to look hard for the video only for him to soften you up quickly.

⛑ At least you got cuddles after.

🩹 His tiktok is filled with funny ass videos

🩹 They always come up on his fyp before going famous. Hence why his comments be having 30k likes (they funny as well)

🩹 Has the best cooking tutorials in his favorites that he makes to impress you.

🩹 Already knows the dance so you don’t need to teach him.

🩹 Y’all both tried to press each other with giant smiles on your faces before starting a round of play fighting.

🩹 “Can’t fuck with you no mo.” He turns to you before continuing the dance.

🩹 Alternating lyrics and shii...being the baddest couple to step in the game.

🩹 He wraps his arms around you before throwing peace signs to the camera at the end.

🩹 The coolest boyfriend award goes to this king.

⚡️ How...how is he in every part of tiktok

⚡️ Straightok, alt tiktok, beantok, frogtok. You describe to him the video and he either knows it or he can find it in seconds.

⚡️ If Pandora’s Box opened and escaped into somebody’s account, it would most likely be Denki’s.

⚡️ He did the challenge with Bakugou before but it ended in flames...but he won’t decline to do it wit you

⚡️ Why y’all buck each other and ended up hitting your foreheads?

⚡️ Spent the rest of the video rubbing your forehead while Denki laughing.

⚡️ “Why tf your shit so hard? Built like damn cement” you glared at him as he laughed even harder.

⚡️ “I shock my own brain everyday. I think my skull hardened as a result”

⚡️ The next day, you’re seen walking around with your forehead on swole.

⚡️ On the bright side, you get forehead kisses every 5 minutes.

🔮 There ain’t no Eraserhead edits so he makes them himself.

🔮 All his fyp got some led light show going on. Every. Fucking. Video.

🔮 But they’re all good vibes, great music, and nice ass comment section

🔮 Occasional gaming videos come up because he follows some twitch streamers on there

🔮 Doesn’t know the beatbox/junebugg challenge. You woke him out of bed to do it.

🔮 You’re vibing in the video before you buck at him.

🔮 He didn’t budge. He stopped doing the dance altogether to stand up and just glare you down.

🔮 He out here in his cow print moo moo pants and you do this shit to him?

🔮 Now you’re nervous, flickering your eyes to him as you continued the video dancing.

🔮 The minute the sound ends he stalks off back to bed. Using all the sheets to cover him.

🔮 Have fun sleeping in the cold. Just kidding, he can’t sleep without cuddling you but just remember he is mad.

👓 ...you think he knows tiktok?

👓 Thought it was slang for the actual clock app.

👓 Got it to see what the hype was about but doesn’t even bother to make an actual account.

👓 It’s really just the generic shit on there.

👓 So he’s excited to do a dance with you even though he only knows the tinman.

👓 Umm...failed to do the actual dance. It gives 60-year-old white man on a tropical cruise.

👓 And then you buck at him.

👓 All movements stop. He justs staring at you, his glasses hiding his actual eyes.

👓 The air around you feels real cold. Your premonition telling you to electric slide out of the room but nah, you continue to dance. The man, who tried to commit murder at the age of 16, just staring at you stoned face.

👓 The second he opened his mouth, you DIPPED out of the room, leaving your phone running and Iida just standing confused.

👓 Turns out, he wasn’t trying to end your bloodline, he was just confused if that was a dance step he missed.

[mana-sputachu]

How DARE you put in my head the thought of brainwashed dark Xiaoyu for T8! That sounds infinitely better than the damsel in distress we finna get and as much as feral Jin over her fuels my blood and clears my skin and cures my depression, feral Jin over an out-of-it Xiao who tries to make her remember him and can't bring himself to fight her because oh shit he loves her and can't lose her and shit that wouldn't have happened if he didn't try to push her away because he should have known better how stubborn she is and then she remembers him and they have a moment AAAAAAAAA. Also imagine how beautiful she'd look with a darker aesthetic??? Her T7 look was already the most mature we've seen her so i only hope we go up from there. Anyway now i hate you (I don't) because we're definitely not getting any of that :((((

If it makes you feel better, nonny, I hate myself too for these ideas lol

It's the fanartis/fanwriter mindset, you get obsessed with a media who could use a better writing and your brain cell starts annoying you with tons and tons of ideas, and that's what happened when I saw Xiao and Claudio's ending in T7.

Like, it totally screams that! I know we won't get it, but at least I hope we won't get "damsel in distress" Xiao or I'll riot. My gal can defend herself, she deserves better than that!

And now you're the one giving me feelings, talking about Jin unable to fight her to death cause how he could do something like that? To Xiao? The closest person he has? HOW?

BRB staring at the wall repeating this scenario in my head😭

[hanji-is-life]

Please please please..Do Bakugou, kirisima, and Fan black reader are on Instagram live. The two boys are on live and their reading messages from their fans and Black reader requests to be on the live and they accept then she starts twerking for them or whatever. It’s been stuck in my head forever. 🙇🏽‍♀️

Omg I’m in love with this idea thank you so much for suggesting it bby!!!! 💕💕💕

I finally learned how to do a read more on mobile so it’s over for u bitches now 😌

CW: mentions of drinking and smoking

It was your final semester in college and you had finished all of your finals and projects a little earlier than most of your friends. To celebrate, you wanted to go out drinking and clubbing to celebrate all of your grades and finalization with school, but your friends were all still swamped.

So you found yourself smoking a lone blunt and sipping from a bottle of Hennessy you kept for special occasions. You were mostly dancing around you living room, music playing from your tv, as you prance around in your favorite pair of biker shorts and an old tee shirt.

By the time you wore yourself out, you get on your phone to see that your two favorite Pro Heroes were live! After taking a quick sip from your drink, you open up the live and see that the numbers of fans are quickly pouring in.

Dynamight and Red Riot were on screen in, both clad in a loose tank top and baggy t shirt, mumbling to themselves as they watch fans roll in. The comments were rolling, a never ending sea of ‘I love you’s and ‘you’re my favorite duo’ and many, many ‘I wanna suck the soul outta of your dick’s.

You were usually one of the ones who commented shit like that since they never really paid any mind to those comments. Every once in a while they’d respond back with an awkward chuckle, ask you guys to chill out and be a little more respectful.

Well, that was always Red Riot’s response. Dynamight would mainly yell for you all to stop or else he’d end the live. He usually just ended the live.

But you wanted to talk to them tonight! You were tired of just commenting thirsty shit in hopes of them at least acknowledging you to tell you to quit it.

So no, if you wanted to catch their attention, then you shouldn’t comment. Shouldn’t DM. No, you had to request to join the live.

Zooted and drunk you thought that was the best idea you’ve ever had. Taking another hit from you blunt, you nod to yourself, telling yourself that they have to notice you now.

Sending the request, you sit back and wait for them to accept. You close your eyes, taking another long drag of your blunt, body fully relaxed, when a gruff voice suddenly brings you to attention.

“I know your dumbass didn’t request to join our live to just sit there and smoke weed.”

Your eyes immediately pop open, hand shooting out to slam the blunt on the table as you try your best to hold the smoke in your mouth. It’s getting harder by the second, and Red Riot noticed with a laugh.

“Don’t listen to BakuBro! You can exhale, sweetheart, you’re in your own place!” His sweet grin makes you smile too, the smoke wafting through your teeth and nose as you laugh breathily.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry! I didn’t think you guys would really accept.” You chuckle, reaching over to take another sip of your drink. You can see both of their eyebrows raise from the screen of your phone, the comments rolling in with renewed vigor.

“You gettin’ fucked up for a good or bad reason? Shit, take it easy.” Bakugou grunts from the screen, eyes wide as he watches you take gulp after gulp of your drink. You snort, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand as you can hear the songs still playing on your tv change.

“Good fuckin’ reason. I passed all my finals and I’m finna graduate from college!” You cheered, raising your glass again as you winked at the two of them. It was easier to pretend that there wasn’t thousands of people watching the three of you. It almost felt like it’s own personal FaceTime, if you ignored the comments calling you a drunk.

Not a drunk, you just knew how to have fun!

Red Riot cheered for you too, Dynamight only smirking as he rested his chin on his palm to watch you closer. He opened his mouth to speak when he suddenly snapped it close, harshly shushing Red Riot as he pressed his ear a little closer to the phone.

“Are you playing Rico Nasty right now?”

Oh shit, you hadn’t even heard the song change again. It was one of her newer songs “Pussy Poppin” and if you weren’t so high and drunk off of your ass right now, you’d be embarrassed by your next actions.

You scream out an affirmation, jumping up from the stool you sat on and turned the tv up from your remote. Completely forgetting about the audience you had on your phone that could still very well see you, you instantly turned around.

Hands on your knees, ass bouncing and shaking to the beat. You let one knee go to reach back and pick up the blunt, taking a deep inhale as you continue to bounce your ass like no tomorrow. You turn around as you blow out the smoke, a cheeky grin on your face as you see the shocked mirrored expressions from the two heroes.

Sliding back onto the stool, you take another hit, winking at them as you exhale the smoke. In a sudden flash, Dynamight yells and snatches the phone. You can hear and see a panicked amount of movements and screaming from the two men before the live ends abruptly.

Frowning, it only dappens your mood for a second before you shrug and go to text your friends about the awesome and slightly embarrassing situation. As you pick up your phone, you get a ding for a new notification and can’t help the cheeky grin that breaks your face.

Manliest_Hero_RR: Hi! Dynamight and I wanted to know if you could do those same moves for us again? But in private, on FaceTime? No pressure but. Wow. We have to see it again. Please?

While this wasn’t apart of the plans you had for tonight, it certainly made it all the more better.

[theyscreamjade]

Y’know those bodycon knitted sweater dresses that fits the body just right? Since it’s sweater weather, can I request smut or nsfw hcs of Bakugo, Hawks, Shinsou, and Kirishima reacting to their thicc s/o wearing it? That shit is making her figure look illegally sexy (it’s cupping her tiddies and cake too well 👀) and she’s wearing leggings or thigh highs that make her legs and butt look 🤤immaculate🤤. I just wanna see em go feral when she does mundane things for them in it like offering hot chocolate and snacks, watching tv and looking too damn fine, or bending over to pick up something and her ass (plus arch) is finna make these guys go ham 🌚

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.

Ohhh! I see you’ve chosen death I see. I hope you love it! As a gift to you all, HERE’s FOUR ALMOST SMUTS.

Side Note: I wanted to expand it from just dresses and sorta incorporated it into various outfits and things.

Disclaimer: (almost) NSFW

————————————————————————————————————————

Katsuki Bakugo

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Your heels clicked while you scanned around for presents to gift your friends Kirishima and Tsu, which was going to be a difficult issue. Unsure of what they’d like and since your boyfriend knew them a bit longer than you did, You thought he’d be a help. BUT! He was too busy standing over you like a guard dog and glaring at every person that looks your way.

“Katsuki, Come on. We need to find a gift.” You whined as his red eyes snapped down to your view. He scoffed before crossing his arms, looking towards another store. “Shitty hair likes anything I’ll fuckin give him.” He said as something caught your eye. “That’s perfect!” You said, rushing over to the store where you spotted a Crimson Riot jacket for him. Your hand picked up the tag before a arm lifted you up without hesitation. “Katsuki! Katsuki! Put me down!” You demanded, trying to keep the large sweater down.

He carried you straight to the dressing room, grabbing the jacket from the rack. With a sudden drop, your body accidentally slammed against the wall inside the empty dressing rooms. “What are you doing?” You questioned quickly as he pulled your body close to him, his lips inches from yours while your eyes locked with one another.

“I’d keep my voice down, Teddy Bear..” he said softly before smirking. His hand slipped underneath your dress, his fingers lacing with your panties. “You expected me to keep my hands off you when you’re wearin this?” He asked even though your words were in your throat.

His dominant demeanor was displayed within the private room while your panties slid their way down your legs while you prayed that no one would discover you two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hitoshi Shinsou

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Hitoshi’s stare was intense, watching you while you joked with your friends Mina and Toru who wore pajamas like yours.

For some strange reason, Kaminari wanted to have a pajama party with everyone. Even though Hitoshi didn’t want to wear a stupid onesie with cats on it, you convinced him somehow. What you should’ve warned though, was what you’d be wearing and just how tight it was.

Denki suggested that everyone should sit down and watch a movie together inside his fairly large living room. You sat beside your boyfriend, leaning close to his open arms as his right hand wrapped around your waist. You bundled each other in a large fluffy blanket. Grinch played on the large tv while his hand slipped towards your thighs. Your breath hitched while you snapped your gaze to your boyfriend who stayed completely focused on the movie.

“Toshi..” you whispered softly before you felt fingers rub against your panties, almost making a moan slip from your mouth. You were about to question how in the hell did he do that yet..who said you wanted him to stop. “I can’t wait until they fall asleep..and I have you all to myself.” He whispered in your ear while the movie continued to play.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eijiro Kirishima

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Your eyes sparkled, admiring the beautiful Christmas lights while the show hadn’t started yet. Kirishima wanted to have a relaxing day with you so he decided to take you out to the park to a beautiful Christmas light show. You basically walked through the park while thousands of lights sparkled and shined around you.

It was pretty late and everyone had disappeared, leaving you two lovebirds alone. The colors danced off your body while your outfit was rather..tight to say the least. Kiri tried his hardest to be manly and not crave the constant need to touch you but that ass looked scrumptious from afar.

“Sharky?” You called out, snapping him back to reality as he looked at you. “Yeah babe?” He retorted quickly, keeping his cool before you giggled softly. “Looks like we’re at the end, is there anything you’d like to do?” You offered with a smile. God, that smile you had just made him warm and fuzzy every time.

The sudden pop made you jump and face away from him as fireworks began to cover the dark starry sky. You admired the gorgeous flashes of light while you boyfriend wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you close. You couldn’t help but feel something hard pressing against your bottom, your eyes widened a bit as your boyfriend leaned in and kissed a small exposed part of your neck.

“I can think of a few things.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keigo Takami

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

You laughed softly, standing with your small group of colleagues. Mirko, Yu and Taishiro all stood with you, talking with one another like old time.

“It’s not the same without you, Y/N! You and I used to kick so many bastards asses together..” Mirko said, frowning at bit at your early retirement. You did retire pretty young, you were apart of the hero’s who was affected by One For All. He took your quirk and luckily you were found barley alive. Due to the incident, that’s how you met you husband by being his secretary.

“He’s living up to his her name.” Yu commented, pointing at the Pro-Hero who quickly snapped his gaze off you. You laughed softly at how adorable he was being even though it was a small gathering with all the hero’s. A Secret Santa party to be exact, everyone exchanged gifts and had fun with one another, discussing about either school things or villains butts they kicked.

You walked out of the large meeting room and walked towards the bathroom, walking inside. You examined your face closely, trying to fix the eyeliner smudges from laughing so hard when you heard the lock click. Your body spun as you faced his yellow ones. “Hey there, Kid.” He said with a smirk.

His hand gripped your ass, tugging the stitched fabric. You knew exactly what he wanted and he wasn’t going to stop until he did. “Keigo, We’re in public. What if someone hears?” You said quickly as he scooped you up and sat you on the cold sink.

“Then, Let them hear you Baby Bird..”

[rjshepherd]

EP 7! I'm going through these fast but would really be faster if I don't pause to take notes.

I'll cut back a little here I'm sure

Not to be that person but u literally called ekko out in his first appearance. I'd remind you I don't know shit about league, no context or frame of reference, just piecing this together as we go.

Ok I love the bat boy.

And ekko of course. He's adorbs

Lmao I love found family.

Was this fucker called singed before he got uhh.. singed?

Sorry but I like my scientists twinkish. Once more Jayce fails to impress

Probably similar feelings to what Mel had during their tryst.

But ok muscle animation is good

Jinxs knows what shes doin, u heard it here first folx.

She really is a little devil on his shoulder.

Jfhsjfnxnfn

I love Mel.

Silco needs a fuckin nap and once more SEVIKA IS NOT BEING PAID ENOUGH.

She needs a spa day. Or a brothel day, her choice.

I'm very glad the main villain of this show is a cute twink

Actually he's not even really a villain tho. He's doing bad shit but his goal is fairly noble. I like how morally grey everyone is, how complex they are.

Man that was a perfectly good cigar. Take it with you.

Silco takes parenting advice? God I love him.

Therapy. Just. Therapy

"is that a real tree" babies.

I appreciate Vi's candor about saving powder but ekko really is the only one who can see what's up. Powder is kinda there but jinx is who she is now.

MAYBE THERAPY WOULD HELP.

Ok but

What is happening to Viktor? Asside from non specific cough disease?

Jayce is dumb as fuck if he can't see that he caused this riot. It's not action, it's REaction.

I like silcos lil fidgit dance in the elevator. Even sevika is like " you good?"

This gold jaw man finna get stabbed

Lmao FINNa

So they all worked in the mines as kids? Mining what????

Why doesn't this gas affect silco?

Damn silco spiting bile here.

Yet another meeting that could have been an email.

I want names for those fucks. Tell me who they are

I like eloras tiny stray hairs

Ok I love watching silco hesitate with his meds. He didn't even flinch when jinx did it but he doesn't want to cause himself pain

PIKABOO

ok I know silco loves jinx but he's clearly also afraid of her

Silco these lies will b your undoing

I am BEGGING you to take her to therapy. Even kids therapy with the puppets is a start, jinx would love that.

Of course it's the fuckin children who have to fix these adults messes

Ok Viktor, ekko and maybe Cait are the only sensible level headed people in this world.

I don't like this tense music

VIKTOR!

oh is uh.

This when jinx gets uh...flattened.

THIS IS CINIMATIC ART

Wowie

No one person has said ' jinx you need help' and that worries me.

Ok I can't watch this fight in this style BC it's hurting my head but I love tha stills from it!

Jinx no!

Oops so much for cutting back. Sorry I just have a lot of thoughts and no sense to record my reactions on a camera or something. Usually I can read these back and be like 'oh hono remember that lol' so I hope I've given enough detail to do that

[tendousfingertape5]

3. Ain’t it fun?

Y/n got up from her bed and started finding clothes to wear. She decided to put on a baggy shirt with a pair of jeans and her combat boots. She did her hair and makeup kind of simple so she didn’t look over dressed. *ding* Her phone went off and she saw a message from Oikawa letting her know he was there. Then, as she was getting her stuff together he honked the horn. As Y/n walked out the door she was holding up her middle finger making Oikawa laugh.

“Hello there Y/n-Chan! You look decent.”

“Was that supposed to be a compliment Shittykawa? If so... it didn’t come off as one”

“Ugh. Whatever. Well, where would you like to go?”

“Oikawa... you didn’t have a plan for today?”

“Uhhhh... no?” Oikawa says with a sheepish smile. “I thought we could just ride around until we figured out what to do.”

“That’s fine with me.” The two began to drive around for the next few hours. Lots of jokes and bickering later Oikawa parks by the nearest cafe. He gets out of the car and beckons Y/n to follow him. He starts to reach out and grab Y/n’s hand.

“Oikawa, what the hell? People are gonna think we are dating dumbass”

“That’s the point Y/n-chan! Let’s just pretend for the day and see how people react.” Oikawa says with a smile that sent butterflies to Y/n’s stomach.

“Alright dumbass, I mean we need to bond so we don’t completely hate these dates we have to go on.”

“So mean Y/n-Chan... you need to stop being so mean to me and act like my girlfriend!”

“Oi! I can still bully you and act like your girlfriend at the same time Tooru” Y/n said sending a wink to Oikawa. His face was as red as a strawberry as he stared at Y/n with wide eyes and mouth agape. She started to giggle and leave the boy frozen behind her.

Y/n and Oikawa spent the next 3 hours running around acting like a couple and gaining some odd stares and some jealous ones. The two were just being dumb teens having a great time. Later on, Oikawa drove Y/n home and told her goodnight and that he had a great time. She returned the goodnight with a smile and ran up to her room. Y/n fell back on her bed with a smile plastered across her face.

Facts~

The other Sejoh Third years were confused to see Oikawa and Y/n actually getting along

Oikawa was not only flustered by the wink Y/n shot him but the fact that she called him by his first name... icing on the cake

Noya and Tanaka tried to ask out Y/n many times before so now they joke about it

Y/n felt those butterflies in her stomach multiple times that night but she never thought about it

The butterflies came back when Oikawa told her to call him Tooru

We finna get into the fun chapters ladies and gents 😎

The Best Books of 2020

I'm guessing that for most of you, reading books was either a comfort or a near impossibility during this unprecedentedly long and tough year. For me, I got some good reading in earlier in the year and then, as my focus shifted to writing about and researching the pandemic for this site and managing the logistics of safely navigating this new world, my energy for books waned. The last thing I wanted to do at the end of most days was more reading, especially anything challenging.

I also kinda didn't know what to read, aside from the few obvious choices that were impossible to ignore. As I'm sure it is for many of you, a big part of my "getting the lay of the land" w/r/t books is seeing what my favorite bookstores were putting on their front tables -- and that's been difficult for the past several months. Looking through a bunch of end-of-2020 lists for what books everyone else recommended was especially valuable for me -- there really were so so many good books published this year that are worth seeking out. So, here's a selection of the best books of 2020 and links to the lists I used to find them. I hope you find this useful.

Let's start with the NY Times. Their 10 Best Books of 2020 includes Deacon King Kong by James McBride while their larger list of 100 Notable Books of 2020 has both Maria Konnikova's The Biggest Bluff and The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking) by Katie Mack on it. The Times' critics have their own list for some reason; one of the books they featured is Anna Wiener's Uncanny Valley.

Isabel Wilkerson's masterful Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents and The Mirror & the Light by Hilary Mantel (two books I actually read this year) deservedly made almost every list out there, including Time's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020. Those two books are also, respectively, on Time's lists of The 10 Best Nonfiction Books of 2020 and The 10 Best Fiction Books of 2020.

The Guardian breaks down their list of the Best Books of 2020 into several categories. The list of the best science fiction and fantasy books of 2020 includes The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson and Kacen Callender's King of the Rising.

The year-end lists on Goodreads (Best Books of 2020, Most Popular Books Published In 2020) typically cast a wider net on what a broader audience is reading. Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett made their lists this year.

Kirkus has a bunch of categories in their Best Books of 2020 as well, including the timely Best Fiction for Quarantine Reading in 2020 -- I found What Are You Going Through by Sigrid Nunez ("Dryly funny and deeply tender; draining and worth it") on there.

The NYPL's Best Books of 2020 has separate lists for adults, teens, and kids. For adult poetry, Nate Marshall's Finna made their list. And for teen historical fiction: We Are Not Free by Traci Chee.

Some recommended books for kids from various lists (NYPL, NY Times, NPR): Shinsuke Yoshitake's There Must Be More Than That!, Before the Ever After by Jacqueline Woodson (my daughter is reading this one right now for her book club), and Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk.

YA novel Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo and Homie by Danez Smith both made Book Riot's Best Books of 2020. Oh, and I'd missed that Zadie Smith published a book of pandemic-inspired essays called Intimations.

NPR's Book Concierge is always a great resource for finding gems across a wide spectrum of interests. Erik Larson's The Splendid and the Vile and The Lying Life of Adults by Elena Ferrante both made their Seriously Great Writing list and their Cookbooks & Food list includes Ottolenghi Flavor by Yotam Ottolenghi & Ixta Belfrage and Eat A Peach by David Chang.

Speaking of cookbooks and food, among the top titles for 2020 were In Bibi's Kitchen by Hawa Hassan & Julia Turshen and Falastin by Sami Tamimi & Tara Wigley. (Culled from Food & Wine's Favorite Cookbooks of 2020 and The Guardian's Best Cookbooks and Food Writing of 2020.

I saw Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia on several lists, including Library Journal's Best Books 2020.

The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson and The Alchemy of Us by Ainissa Ramirez both made Smithsonian Magazine's The Ten Best Science Books of 2020.

Hyperallergic has selected Some of the Best Art Books of 2020, including Kuniyoshi by Matthi Forrer.

For the Times Literary Supplement's Books of the Year 2020, dozens of writers selected their favorite reads of the year. Elizabeth Lowry recommended Artemisia, the companion book to the exhibition of Artemisia Gentileschi's at The National Gallery and sadly the best way for most of us to be able to enjoy this show.

More lists: Audible's The Best of 2020 and Washington Post's The 10 Best Books of 2020. I'll update this post a couple of times in the next week with more lists as I run across them.

If you'd like to check out what I've read recently, take a look at my list on Bookshop.org.

Chapter 2: Class decisions and dorm warfare for the win!

introduction, Ch.1

Note to self: next time Bean and Merlin fight, get popcorn, and maybe grab wall rubble, I’m not a hoarder, scouts honor~

     I looked up at the teachers with stars in my eyes, everyone was so cool!  Plus, I got a head pat-so that’s even better!  Ugh, why’d you guys have to make so hard to choose a class, hmmm let’s put our suspects, up shall we?  Looking at the professors, I saw the grumpy Alchemist guy, his pale wood patterned skin shone in the lights above as once more those dang amber eyes of his bore into my mind.  Like chill man, how can putting a baton in your jacket be mind warfare?!  Huff, he looked so cool during the show but ehhh, too strict for me.  

 Well, Rasputin’s a no I guess, number 2, Louis Armstrong, seems like a fun guy, buuut I have no musical talent, got two left feet, voice sounds like a banshee bleh, ain’t a good fit.  It’s not you Louis it’s me, sorry man. Onto suspect 3, Hobo Billy the kid, chill, kinda dusty, but I’m not stealthy, wouldn’t have light-up shoes if I was after all.  Suspect 4 come on down!  Here we have Joan of Arc, awesome sword wielder and dealer of cherished head pats, 9/10 we might have a winner here people.

 Now onto suspe-oh no megaphone man’s back, just in case, I pulled my beanie over my ears, no hearing loss for me.  

 “Ah, jolly good show everyone!  It was quite a sight to see, I must say, now children, if that display did not solidify your choice-well buck up!  We’ve decided to allow our professors the chance to remind you of their profession and the meaning behind each class!  And remember no class is better or worse than the ot-”

 “Guerillas are best, don’t listen to the loudspeaker” Izusa jabbed in

 “Heheheh, Izusa I am glad for your class pride still runs deep, but we are headmasters, after all, we need to be unbiased!  Let our bright youths decide for themselves!”

 “Unbiased, you have your freaking Knight necktie on” She fired back motioning to his stripped blue silver tie which he straightened. 

 “Well, of course, one must never forget their roots after all, and even though I myself favored our knights here, this is not-” Before he could finish, a sharp  “Shush” interjected.  Professor Blum strode forward hand massaging his temple.

 “If we listen to this squabble any longer, we shall not move anywhere, and I would like to return to my facility before night comes if you don’t mind.” Fixing his overcoat, the amber eyes of the earth magi quickly returned to the crowd, piercing them with a cool stare as he began to speak once more.

 “To you lot” he admonished us snapping his arm, “Listen well, for I shall only say this once.  Despite what the news or the media has led you to believe, Alchemists are those who study and pick apart the gears of magic and the world for all its worth.”  When he said news and media he spat out each word as if it were venom in his mouth, and as he began to go on, the methodical style of his speech began to ebb more into a stately passion. 

 “We are no mere scientists, we are alchemists! The fusion of creativity and scientific reasoning to understand, this little thing we call magic.  Despite the moniker of “Youngest class,” Human, Magi, or whatever in between that’s shuffled about on this rock has always been curious of this force in our world.  Whether you trace our origins to the wizards and warlocks of old, or to the Alchemists of which we’ve gained our title, we are both and neither of our predecessors!” 

      Pacing a bit, he calmed his voice back down as he continued on, “Were our ancestors simply explored the capabilities or tried to pick apart magic for their own uses, we have a different goal.  We carry the light of knowledge, illuminating the unknown for our fellow people so that they may find comfort in said findings.  If you choose this path, burn this into your mind! If you have no passion or hunger for finding the secrets of magic and our world, then as soon as you enter my facility, you. shall. be. Gone!  I do not want to hear your complaining, “Oh it’s too hard,” or, “ Oh, it’s too boring” for if I see one hint of uninterest in your eyes, I'll throw you out myself! For if you have no passion or drive in your field what is the point of you?  Now then,”  

 After a long sigh, he quietly composed himself, “if you feel this is right for you, step forward now.” he crooned out. And to my left, I felt a rustle beside me Orion groaned up and walked towards the old magi, he gave me a two-finger salute and lazily walked forward.  And as everyone saw him go, bit by bit more people stood in front of Rasputin, as each was handed some black clothes in a bag.  And as if on cue, a sharp whistle broke the silence, bringing all our eyes on Billy the kid.

 “Alright, kiddos eyes on me for a sec’. Thanks to ole grandpa given that essay, I’ll be straight with ya.  Guerillas are the rebels, outlaws, anarchists, or whatever they call us now.  Where there's some rules we break 'em, were there's laws we go past 'em. We be the judge of those in power, that roarin' flame under they feet that keep our leaders in check. And if they go too far, well, this lil' fire finna burst into an inferno I'll promise ya that.  If ya got freedom and rebellion in ya chest. We yo people, see a riot, we in there, see a protest, we in there, and if you see a revolution? Hoo boy, you sure as heck know we in there! We carry the light of freedom and change, always there to stop a leader if they go too far and if they do, we gon' hold 'em accountable and make somethin' new.  If my words struck home, we be happy to have ya, welcome to the family kiddos.” legs dangling over the stage the professor watched as the future Guerillas approached, heck even one girl flew up and gave a high five to him.  Thanks to her wings, she was an air magi, had some golden-brown wings and storm grey hair, and perched atop the stage as her classmates rushed up too.

             At my right, I heard a grunt as freaking Joan of Arc hopped off her pommel and kicked the sword in her hand like it was nothing!  Yup, definitely joining her I don’t care what anyone says-Imma be a knight!

 “Heh, alrighty, may as well start, hmph” She grunted, holding her sword in a rigid pose.  If I’m being honest her face looked like she was constipated “to be a knight you be gallant, focused measured precise and powerful, my children take up arms your calling is nye it is time for a crusade!  We shall take back the holy land,Deus vult, DEUS VU-pfffft, heheheh, sorry I had to” she chuckled leaning on her sheath “Oh, that never gets old, ok serious time now” she took in a breath to speak but

 “Ah, it seems the impossible did happen, you being serious” Rasputin interjected walking past her, to this he received a light snicker

 “Listen I can be serious sometimes, on occasion, when I feel like it, every few years.  But, as I was saying before mister essay interrupted me, Knights are old as heck alright, we’re the first beacons, defend people for generations, all that good stuff.  But just cause we got knight in our name, don’t mean we’re Chivalrous, glistening warriors who vanquish evil to the ends of the earth that’s only a third of the pie, we’re not just warriors, we’re healers and guardians kids.  The sword, shield, and healing hand, we become that light.  We guard against the dark and give people a haven.  In more than one way!  So,” she said resting her sword over her shoulders,

“If you want to be a knight, grab some chainmail and a tunic from the stage and come to my class tomorrow.  I’d be happy to have you” She winked strolling out.  Yeeep, I’m all in let’s freaking go!  I cheered in my mind, but I had a feeling I had a dopey smile on my face all the same.

             After that, not much else happened, learned about the other two classes, Artificers, basically artists, builders, and all that fun stuff that entertains or helps people. And seekers, explorers, and stuff, always run headfirst into the unknown and hard to pin down.  But by the end I got some bag of clothes and a rune stone. It was a smooth navy-blue rock with a messed-up F burnt into it.  It felt warm and hummed a bit in my hand as I turned a bit, it was like a weird magic compass to my dorm I guess, this is so cool!  Welp, into your prison-I mean my bag little guy.  As I was putting my stone back in my bag, a gun shot made me nearly drop it on the ground.

 “Gah!  what is this, give Eir a heart attack day?!” I mumbled clamping my stone as Headmaster Ortiz cleared his throat.

 “Knights, Alchemists, Seekers, Guerillas, and Artificers, thank you all for continuing in the protection of Human-Magi kind.  This is the first step of your journey as Beacons!  For even having the courage to step up this far, you should be proud!  Bully indeed for you!  I already can see great potential in all of you, all I can say is good luck, and may your lights always shine bright.” He finished his final speech and gave us all a hearty laugh and warm smile before walking into the back as Izusa made her way to speak.

 “Alright Torches, like the headmaster megaphone said, this is your start, remember you all wanted this, so get ready, tomorrow starts four years of hell, have fun~” she sang away into the darkness from whence she came.

             After the speeches of fluff and doom we all dispersed to our new dorms, which for some freaking reason was on the of the fort!  School’s in the middle, makes sense, access to everything, but the dorms. At the very edge of the freaking coast, who designed this and where can I smack them with my bag?  I’m going helicopter them so bad won’t know what hit them.  But still, I walked to my dorm.  Weird F rune dash 5 as the stone in my hand vibrated more and more the closer I got to my door.  The jade-gold rune patterned carpet sat atop a shining wood floor and the air had a scent of strangely chocolate, and fire?  

 “Who’s burning something?” I thought aloud, but right as the words came out of my mouth, the wall right across from me shattered as a flaming girl bulldozed through while a hand patted me on the head.  Whirling my head from side to side I saw Orion standing besides me snickering at the dragon girl.  She had two jagged black horns sticking out of her messy flame like curls.  She was short but had a stocky frame, I think I even saw a few muscles if I’m being honest.  And as I saw her gold eyes stare daggers at Orion(nickname still pending) a wicked smile seared across her face, disrupting the red scales upon her cheeks.

 “Orio get back over here so I can hit ya!” She growled in her rough voice, to which Orion strolled across from me with a playful shrug

 “nahhh, don’t really feel like it sunflower, good offer though, you’re getting’ better at em, I’m proud!”

 “Tsk, I told ya before, I ain’t no little flower, I am the sun!” she yelled crouching down for probably another charge.  Orion chuckled as he held his free hand at his ear

 “Uh, say that again white dwarf, I ain’t hear ya~” he teased, and at that my eyes even glared at him,

 “Please don’t my ears have suffered enough for a day!” I groaned,

       But as at the girl, it seemed like she physically had a tick mark on her head as the whole room heated up to 90 degrees. I had to take off my hat and fan myself, what the freak did he say to make her that mad? But unfortunately, I got no answer as the girl barreled forward with a battle cry.  Careening towards Orion before I saw him poof out of existence in a blue flash before reappearing behind the solar magi.  He placed a hand on her back and caused it to steam, but what instantly caught my attention was two words that slithered from his mouth.

 “Liga Hostem” he said, and yanked his hand back as multiple black and blue chains wrapped around the girl, battling against the fire and the light she gave off.  Making the hallway as wicked battle of heat and cold. Gasping from excitement I rapidly said

 “You used a binding spell!  It’s not the full incantation but that’s still awesome!  Wait, your element doesn’t usually go into that unle-“

 “let’s save this for later, I ain’t tryin’ be bbq magi over here”  to further his point the girl took in a deep breath and bellowed out a stream of flames in the boy’s direction, cursing under his breath Orion slammed his hand on the ground and cried

 “Fortifico!” as a black and blue hexagon of swirling void, blocked the incoming flames, and as soon as the barrier was released, the girl charged forward with an knee aimed at Orion’s fac, he rolled back and threw a punch at her stomach, but she brushed it to the side.  Back and forth they parried and dodged each other’s blows like clockwork.  Oh I wish I had popcorn, this is so good, but sadly before the fight could continue, the door behind me slammed open as I saw a baby face looking Asian guy with, a long, rat tail… Oh its him, time to give him a piece of my wait why is he my dorm mate?!

 “QUIET” the pale faced boy roared, on his face was now a pair of jade, metallic looking goggles, and as soon as he looked at the two magi his face grew a face of sheer disgust. “Ugh, just typical of their kind, arrogant and loud beyond measure. You two, cease this disturbance immediately, I am trying to work. “ he screamed in his childlike voice waving a large wrench at the two.

 “Hey, angery baby man, shush.” Said angery baby man looked agasp and was about to say something before I said

“Oi, ya owe me an apology from earlier, what was your deal?” I demaded looking over my shoulder

 “just my luck, of course I’m roomed with you of all people.” He rolled his eyes

 “Me of all people?!  Square up baby man, lets go!”

 “First of all, I am not, a baby man.  My name is Lin Su-Wang, and I am not fighting a munchkin.”

             And this is how this went for like thirty minutes, four people either fighting or yelling at each other before, nothing, I really can’t remember what happened afterwards, only thing is I woke up with a pain in my neck for some reason.  Weird, buuut yeah, this was one interesting first day.

 Day one-completed! :)

[axther]

Hey hello 🌸!! Can i get a bnha matchup??? I go by Rai and I’m nonbinary pansexual so my pronouns are they/them. I’m infp and really optimistic but I also got depressiooon. Clumsy and confused are my things, also got that crackhead energy. Catpurrson to the end of the line. I do theater and like antique history so Greek, Roman and Egypt. 80’s vibes are on;love the music and the aesthetic. And I like feeling small(I’m 5’4 so pretty average). + I love my friends more than life itself. Thanks 💕

Me, shaking violently, trying not to burst from all of the ancient civ facts i have built up over the course of my life?? More likely than you think 

Also i suppose a bit of a NSFW warning bc Rocky Horror Picture Show is mentioned and it can’t be mentioned without something being NSFW, nothing crazy though. 

#1 is...Kirishima! 

Optimistic but depressed?? 

He’s got nothing pure respect for you 

There’s an element of him trying to lowkey tip-toe around you 

Someone says something like ‘i’m so depressed I’ve got so much homework’ or smth then he’ll ask them to be more sensitive! 

That doesn’t mean you’re sensitive to people exaggerating 

It’s just his way of showing support 

And not trying to glamourise depression! 

But he gets it if you want him to stop 

To be honest he probably doesn’t look a whole lot into theatre but knows the basics

 Like he can do the line of ‘the phannnntom of the opperaaa is therreeee...inside my minnnndddd…’ but that’s it 

So he is more than ready to be indoctrinated into The Theatre Kids 

If you start him off with Rock Horror he will not only trip out but get super into it 

Like, when the time comes and he gets into a virgin auction or Let’s Have An Orgasm he will 200% excel 

Is he sold for a ridiculously high RHPS price while grinning the entire time? Yes

Is his orgasm impression on the spot? Also yes 

It leaves several questions 

If you want them answered, though, you have to play the waiting game 

But anyway 

He’ll get awe-inspiringly into it and will say lines on command 

“Antici-” 

Kirishima, at the top of his lungs with a bright red feather boa, clearly having the time of his life: “SAY IT!!” 

“-Pation!” 

Any other RHPS virgins that come through can and will be told of the legendary Red Riot that came in and completely blended in 

(if you ask nicely enough he might show up in his hero costume 👀) 

Thinks you being clumsy is cute as hell 

Try to tell me otherwise (you can’t) 

Whenever he sees you trip or otherwise get hurt in a preventable situation he will swoop in!! 

If you get hurt and have to go to Recovery Girl then he’ll carry you regardless of the injury 

‘Eiji all i did was cut my hand I can walk’

‘Let me take care of you, cutie!’ 

Gets very, very giddy if you call him your hero 

A big ol shark tooth grin and a blush stick with him all day after that  

#2 is...Denki!

Best hope you don’t already have a fave 

Because he’ll just walk up and be like 

‘Hiii I’m denki, I’m finna steal Rai, ahaha. Be ready. Imma yoink them. Gimmie gimmie’ 

Not gonna lie he would do that stupid eboy thing with his chin, and rubbing it weird? 

It’s purely for jokes though

Bc you would probably be his ideal s/o 👀

Crackhead who knows how to live laugh love but also gets that he doesn’t always feel 100% and just needs a hug? And some compliments? 

And also can name Alexander the Great’s horse? 

A solid ten in his book 

Don’t get him wrong!! 

While he does need comfort, he is more than ready to bust down your dorm door and give you some stellar hugs!! He has snacks and would bring blankets and charge your phone so you don’t have to move it across the room. 

Can and will lay in bed with you all day just talking about the stuff that he loves about you 

He gets really soft really easily around you 

Like, his good title of a playboy/prankster hybrid is being sullied whenever you're around!! 

All of 1-A sees him with a little smile!! 

How dare you make his heart flutter!! 

If you could stop being so damn cute!! 

But he could never get angry at you for being cute

If anything, he becomes a sort of instagram husband; fawning over you, posting pictures of you 

Please just give him a hug he loves you a lot

#3 is...Tsuyu!

You two could put your froggy chairs together 

There are just so many absolute upsides to dating Tsu 

First off she’s blunt, so if she needs to tell you something she won’t try to sugarcoat it 

Not only that but she’s ridiculously pretty 

Not to mention that if you have a bad day one of her tongue bleps will fix it

She’s rational and calm

So let’s say you’re playing a really hard, really soul crushing game 

Let’s call it Dark Souls 

If you start raging, she’ll remind you not to throw the remote and that it’s just a game. 

The second time around she’ll remind you again but with more force

The third time she just takes the remote 

No more games for you 😤 not until you calm down 

Sometimes 

Rarely 

But sometimes 

If you’re doing something in the common room in the middle of winter and you’re just vibing 

You’ll hear a really quiet kero before Tsu shows up and decides your lap is a good place to hibernate 

It’s adorable, except that she will not move until her nap is done. If you’re sprawled out on the couch then all the other students are going to have to just...not use it. Not want to use it

No one moves Tsu when she’s napping with her s/o 😤

No_One Ever Really Dies or the Punks renaissance ?

N.E.R.D: No_One Ever Really Dies  (Review)

★★★★☆

   7 years have passed since N.E.R.D's last album, and because of Pharell's direct and indirect presence in every major musical project in the last 5years we didn't feel the time passing by. From the mega hit "Blurry Lines" to "get lucky" to ed sheeran's "sing" and the addictive "Happy" Pharell accumulated hit after hit assuring himself as one of the most demanded and talented prodcuers in the scene and projecting to a superstar statues, but since then the world changed and so did pharell as well wihch lead him to ressemble the  disbanded N.E.R.D, the Producers trio composed of Him, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley for an anti Happy anti get lucky and anti Trump project the self-titled "No_One Ever Really Dies" to adress the political and social state of the world and the U.S. lemon is the first single from the album, it serves as an introduction and a mood setter to the record that starts with the line "The truth will set you free /But first, it'll piss you off" as a reminder that the group are here to make some points and put a seed in your head and shed light on some sensitive topics. this song like most of the songs on the record is a collage of two concepts as Pharell describes it " day and night" the first part is a punk-inspired beat with a punkish repetitive baseline and the second part is more of a Jungle, Big room sound.  To polish the consequential and intellectual topic of the song they unlisted Rihanna to gain more ears without smoothening up the whole as she sounds as raw and punk as she ever did.

The energy smoothens on the second track starting with a silky piano and only pharell's voice, before going crascendo with a progressive increase in intensity as the the repitive bass line and synthies get in before achiving  the climax when the agresseive, distorted  punky guitare follow up with backing vocals that consistes exclusvly of shouts and slogan chanting, football style chants a style typicall of the post punk sound that synchs to perfection with the songs topic as pharell tackles the current state of US politics with an anti-authoritarianism, a do-it-yourself air as he shouts "Oh you won’t get away for how you treat Islam." or "Man, fuck what you say/We’re gonna climb your wall" as he threatens trump.

same energy's found on one of the highlights of this record "don't don't do it" featuring Kendrick Lamar the song is about police brutality and police discrimination towards black Americans as he said in an interview "in my country there is a fashion trend that resists time. If you're a black man, you can get killed on the next street corner. " the songs starts with a smooth jazzy melody and reminds me of franks oceans "sweet life" even pharell sings in frank oceanish* style,(no wonder since he co-wrote the song) before it stars mutating to what seems like the pinnacle before it falls back to the smooth soft tune this goes on until kendrick gets in where the song stops the teasing and reach its peak when the tempo rise as he swiftly and perfectly raps "How many more of us gotta see the coroner?/Slain by the same badge, stop, wait, brake, fast!"

the song is followed up with Esp.  which is a call of wak up and doing rather than thinking as pharell raps "You got such good taste, but you ain't tryna use it/Other side to your brain, but you ain't tryna to use it/You got an extra eye, but you ain't tryna to use it/Remember what you find cus you’re finna lose it" in  what seems like a call to neutral people, mainly the lower class  to get out of their angst and break the inferiority complex and take a side in the turbilent state of the world and be part of the revolution and believe in it  as he rap on this lines " You know that you got it right when people ask, "Hey, what are you on?/Well, this is the vivid state that revolutions are born/Did you ever realize that universe just means one song" ,  the sound of the song reflects the theme as it is characterized by its complex production rapid tempos,  heavily syncopated percussive loops, dub reggae-derived basslines, and breakbeats inspired by the jungle Sound and the rave culture of the 90s which was a cultural expression of the lower class urban youth that was disenfranchised and disillusioned with a seemingly crumbling societal structure of the era. and jungle reflected these feelings, same does this song as the world know some rapid radical changes lately .one of the other highlights of this record is "Kites" featuring M.I.A and Kendrick Lamar , a beautiful mishmash of different genres and different cultural movements from oriental music to punk to fast tempo minimal and trap as the music and lyrics convey a message of tolerance and resistance using the flying  kites as a metaphor of flying barries  with the help of two of the most politically provocative artists right now Kendrick Lamar and M.I.A who adds weight and consistency to this multi-structural song.

finally, I really enjoyed the album, I loved the fact that Pharell's reviving and modernizing the nonlinear and energetic sound of punk and post-punk, the sound of riot and rebelling against the system. It really illustrates the anger down the streets and the politic Landscape of the U.S, It's definitely relevant to what we as a country and entire world are going through today socially and politically, but executes in a way that's inspiring at the same time and makes you want to dance and crash tables at walls, and by mixing 3 of the rawest and pointiest musical genres out there they made cultural re-contextualization much more efficient and they finally found their groove.

Track List

Deep Down Body Thirst

Lemon (feat. Rihanna)
