#accidentally has emotions about a bunch of slimes

[marvelmaniac715]

I somehow ended up reading a lot of My Hero Academia fanfiction despite never watching the anime or reading the manga, and I would now like to explain the plot to you based on what I’ve discovered:

So there’s this green haired boy named Izuku Midoriya who has a mother named Inko and a dad who’s a businessman who works overseas, and he’s obsessed with ‘quirks’ which are superpowers that loads of characters have that manifest when they’re five years old? It all started with some glowing baby that I think the main villain All for One killed?

Anyway Izuku is quirkless but obsessed with the number one hero All Might (real name Toshinori Yagi, mentored by the Seventh One for All holder Nana - Shimura? - and some other older guy who was also a holder maybe) and when he’s in middle school his childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugo who has some sort of fire quirk tries to make him jump off a roof to his death (not cool Kacchan) and Izuku ends up fighting a slime monster with All Might.

Eventually All Might feeds Izuku one of his hairs and Izuku becomes the successor to his quirk One for All which was started when the sickly twin brother of All for One, Yoichi, who was kept in a vault for some reason, had a quirk forced upon him by his brother but it combined with a hidden quirk that he didn’t know about and it got passed down to loads of heroes and combined with their quirks along the way so now it’s a super OP ability.

I know Izuku goes to a hero school in class 1A (I think) and he has classmates like a girl who can make things float, a boy with a brother who’s a hero and is a stickler for rules/a know it all, a boy with train feet (might be the same guy), an awful tiny purple boy who looks like a bunch of grapes and hits on all his female classmates making them uncomfortable, Bakugo and a boy named Shoto Todoroki whose dad is the number 2 hero Endeavour who has a fire quirk (he’s totally not salty about it and I think his name is Enji) and he has a sister named Fuyumi, a brother named (I’m pretty sure) Natsuo and a brother named Touya who was pushed by their abusive dad into being a great hero as a kid so he ran away, got recruited by All for One and is now a super angsty villain called Dabi who planned a big reveal dance to confront his dad who thought he was dead and wants to kill his brother Shoto.

All for One also has a successor called Tomura Shigaraki who had this decay quirk which he found out about when he accidentally killed his dad, his mother, his sister Hana and his corgi Monchan (a lot of people got really upset about that understandably) and they’re served by Nomu (dead people combined with other dead people to make monsters?) and one of them is the dead remains of the old best friend of the teacher of Izuku’s class (Eraserhead) who is really tired all the time and is friends with some other Mic hero who has a quirk which makes him super loud.

All for One is scary because he wants his dead brother’s quirk back and can take any quirk he wants so he’s the head of the Criminal Underworld but his face and basically entire body got caved in thanks to a Plus Ultra from All Might so he has to wear a breathing apparatus and is really more of a backseat driver for a lot of the show/movies/manga.

I picked up some other random stuff like a boy called Rody Soul from one of the movies whose quirk is a bird that I think reflects his emotions, a girl named Toga who’s also evil and part of the League of Villains and has a quirk where she can take the form of anyone whose blood she drinks and a little girl named Eri who was held captive by a mob and experimented on because her quirk, Rewind, could rewind people’s ages (I think). I also know at some point there was a training camp for Izuku’s class in a forest, All Might and Izuku have a father-son relationship, a hero named Hawks was trained by the shady hero company that basically runs Japan since childhood to be a hero and might have accidentally killed his friend, and Madds Buckley writes incredible songs for this fandom. Did I miss anything out?

A START OF AN OBSESSION WITH YOU

PART 4

[I just found out my first post has 12 likes!!! Thank you so much, I'm so happy I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach I'll post the rest soon for you all!!! Love you all 🥺💗]also I forgot to state that the reader is the exact gender you are, or you identify as!! <3

TRIGGER WARNINGS!!

*Blo0d

*Bite

*Emotional/crying

Skip if you're sensitive! :(

You quickly try your best to open the doors and enter the rooms looking for the end of the exit.

Right after you entered the other room the lights flicker, It looks like Rush is going to come after a while. This early though? You forget about those thoughts and hop in the closet.

As you wait for Rush to enter and leave, something grabs your shoulder tightly definitely leaving you with a mark.

You flinch in pain trying to get words out of your mouth, "HIDE...JACK.. is it you? are you both here?"

Nothing, just silence.

You feel heavy breathing above your neck, a tight hold on your shoulders getting more tighter and digging through your skin, while another pair holds you down. you start to move around in the small closet. Not realizing that RUSH is no longer far but outside your closet, you could see his big smile and grey aura staring at you through the cracks. menacingly standing while watching you.

What have you done to anger them?

You start to lose your vision, it gets more blurry and pixelated. Getting a few yelps out of you, which the entities start to enjoy your sounds. You spin yourself to get away from their hold.

Then out of nowhere, they kick you out of the closet. Making you fall and hit your shoulder, already bruised and in pain. Why are they acting so aggressively toward you? They were so friendly at first...You can't trust these entities anymore, they have snapped.

RUSH is no longer in sight he left while you were fighting back not wanting to watch the rest of you terrified.

You stand up in pain and tiredness, rushing to the other doors.

Right after you enter the room, there's a narrow hallway, lights flicker, and you start to hear screams. You try to run but it gets you trapped in a repeated chase in a dark hallway, a large translucent blue spirit appears in front of you, making your strength slow down and decrease.

You try to run to the back but then appears the spirit 'HALT' you dash to the front, which feels like forever.. it finally ends... Oh gosh, what's happening?! you start to break down.. 'it isn't time to give up..' you think while wiping tears off your face.

You get a hold of yourself together, you stand up quivering. as you stare at the door for a while, trying to work up the courage to open the door. As your hand strokes the doorknob, hurriedly you pull the door open silently not wanting to be noticed by the other entities.

The room you have entered looks normal for a bit, you see a strange shadowy figure hiding near the corner, making a quick movement to catch your attention. You see a long black slimy tentacle lobbing a ball of slime toward any light source.

Suddenly the room goes pitch black, you hear scatters around the room. You try to grab your flashlight in a quick motion, but accidentally drop it, causing it to roll over on the ground. Which alerts you to panic, you feel a bunch of slimy wet tentacles grabs hold of your shoulders. As you try to scream, a slimy tentacle wraps around your mouth causing you to be silent, mumbling behind the tentacle.

You know well that this is 'SCREECH', as you try to get out of his hold, you struggle. You feel a cold slimy thing with a little stickiness.

SCREECH lays his tongue on your shoulder, licking it to taste you. Enjoying your taste he starts to drool around your shoulder, he pulls back causing you to shudder. Giving you time to finally breathe and process what the hell is happening. After, a few moments of relief.

Out of nowhere, you feel intense pain around your shoulder, SCREECH takes a bite of your shoulder, causing blood to spew out. Sharp teeth gripping around your skin. SCREECH takes his saliva out to fill your cut up with a sort of liquid that is causing you to be dizzy and lightheaded.

You then swing your legs around, and you feel something bump into your leg. You kick the unidentified item into your hands, you grab ahold of the mysterious item. It's the flashlight you lost! you grab it tightly and aim at SCREECH, turning it on it flashes onto SCREECH, he screams in pain causing him to scatter around the room and disappear from your sight.

You cower yourself into a ball, shaking tremendously...why you?

Why did they have to be so obsessed with you?

You grab your injured shoulder...you remember the bandage you found before. You rip the bag open and start fixing your shoulder up. After bandaging up, you try to stand up but pitifully stumbling to the ground. What on earth did SCREECH put inside your wound?

As you try to walk correctly, an uncomfortable pain makes you groan in distress, an intense headache that you can't help but cry. You grab onto the shelves, feel only a little strength in your bones. You feel yourself angry..so angry that you start to grip onto the shelve.

You feel determined to go through all the doors even if you have to face obstacles. Only to leave this hell.

You feel much more confident leaving this area. You slowly walk to the door flashing the light to the entrance, you open the door and get in.

Nothing in sight, hopefully, there will be no entities in sight. As you walk in, you stop in your tracks as you hear a scream behind you, that's not as far but not close either. This soon?! You already had to deal with the closets entities, RUSH, SCREECH..

You throw your hand to your forehead, you sigh loudly. You look around the room to enter a closet...hopefully JACK, and HIDE aren't there..

But much to your surprise..there were no closets in sight, the screaming was starting to get even louder.

You look around the room, trying to find a hiding spot. When you discover a vent, you quickly grab the cover off and couch down and slid in, you wait for a while until the entity runs pass you. You close your eyes shut, praying it was RUSH, and not AMBUSH..

The screaming is getting a so close, your eyes rightly closed. The screaming is so loud you could feel beeping through your eyes, it hurts so much. You open your eyes slowly only to see not RUSH...but AMBUSH standing right in front of the vent.

[tinkerbellsgf]

Another oc post bc ig I’m on a roll today

ASTRA 

Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by Marina and Disco by Surf Curse are her songs

She has white freckles that look like stars

She’s pretty close with Foolish because he walks her back to Kinoko Kingdom every time she visits Las Nevadas 

She has a small black and white cat and she named it Vega

She met purpled by her falling out of a tree she was sitting in and he patched her up 

Whenever she is feeling overly emotional she loses control of her powers  

She wears a lot of dresses but her favorite one is a short, flowy, sparkly dark blue one 

She is a very clumsy person but she gets hurt easily so she has a bunch of scars on her body from stuff like tripping over her own feet and falling out of trees 

She likes sitting in gardens and trees

Quackity starts to neglect her when the whole burger thing starts and she starts to accidentally call Foolish dad 

She let slime cut her hair once and it didn’t turn out well so she lets her dad and Foolish do it 

She sometimes babysits Foolish’s kids

When she met Ranboo they immediately became friends and sometimes she helped him and Tubbo in the cookie shop 

She thinks Tommy is kinda funny sometimes and feels bad for him because he had to go through all of that  

She actually really likes Tubbo she thinks he cool and she sometimes visits him at the burger place 

She is incredibly powerful 

Dream wanted to use her when he found out what she could do

Karl ends up forgetting about her and Sapanp starts neglecting her to try and help Karl

So all of her dads start being kinda shitty

She’s autistic

Quackity ends up stabbing her in the stomach when she starts asking him to many questions

She runs as fast as she can to purpleds house and he patches her up and she stays with him for a while since she doesn’t want to go home

They kinda just accidentally start dating

Like they just do domestic stuff together and one day astra accidentally says she loves him 

And that's how it happens

When slime dies she doesn’t find out for a while 

But when she does its purpled who tells her and she doesn't really take it well

She starts crying her eyes out and purpled tries to tell her that it hurt quackity so it was necessary 

But she’s hysterical and isn’t listening to him 

She just starts running 

She can’t see where she’s running though because she's crying so hard 

As I mentioned before when she gets overwhelmed she loses control of her powers 

So a bunch of stardust shoots out of her 

And here’s the best part 

She didn’t know that she had these powers 

So she just starts crying even more bc she doesn’t know what's happening to her 

She ran all the way to snowchester

And tubbo finds her passed out in the snow 

and since they’re friends he takes her back to the mansion 

She stays with the beeduo for a while until on of phil’s crows find her there 

Spanap asked phil to send out some crows to look for his daughter bc he’s worried about her 

And when she finds out it was her dad that wanted the crows to look for her she's very surprised bc she thought he didn’t care about her anymore

She’s a little reluctant to go back home but she eventually does

She doesn’t really like what she sees when she gets home though

Karl has completely forgotten about her 

And sapnap keeps trying to get him to remember but can’t and doesn’t even realize shes home

So she leaves again 

But as she leaves she sees something out of the corner of her eye

It's an hourglass necklace

It's a little bit see through and has stars all over it 

She takes it 

She thinks it harmless and it's just too pretty to leave in the dirt

The next time she “sees” karl she's wearing the necklace and he freaks out about it 

Turns out the necklace belonged to an alternate version of astra that he saw die 

He doesn’t remember this universe astra and he thinks that she's a fake and almost kills her over it until sapnap steps in and saves her 

Astra and Purpled dancing to Evangaline from princess and the frog 

But as i mentioned earlier she's really clumsy and isn't that great at dancing 

But he finds it endearing and kinda adorable 

She has stepped on his toes many times before

They also just straight up go to space for dates sometimes 

He calls her star sometimes which is absolutely adorable and i love them so much 

KID!ASTRA AND KARL DOING THE DANCE THING YOU DID AS A KID WHERE YOU LIKE PUT UR FEET ON UR PARENTS AND YOU DANCE 

I need to write more good memories between her and her dads 

SAPNAP PLAYING DRESS UP WITH KID!ASTRA 

When she was a kid she found a baby black cat in the forest near her house 

It followed her home and she named it Vega It follows her everywhere now

She made Sapnap promise not to kill it 

She has a red ribbon that she wears in her hair almost always Sapnap gave it to her when she was a kid so that they could kinda match 

The only time she didn’t wear it was when she was living with the bee duo 

Bc she was so livid with her dad for not telling her she had magic

Astra is a very physical person and loves giving people hugs So when she was a kid she nearly broke Q’s back by hugging him too hard 

He was gone for like two days and she missed him a lot so she stayed up past her bedtime just to give him a hug

Q used to have a family portrait of them in his office but the night he stabbed her He tore it down and cried himself to sleep

Astra is incredibly underestimated She looks like very sweet person 

And she is 

But you don’t get raised by karlnapity without getting some attitude 

SHE’S ALSO A REALLY GOOD FLIRT

And since she hates glatt bc fuck glatt She can’t really kill him bc he’s already a ghost 

She annoys him every time she sees him 

She’s really good at it too

She’s such a bitch i love her

I know that my last post was way longer than this one but I hope you like this one just as much!!

anon asked:

hi there, ur blog theme is hella pretty🥺💕! was wondering if i could request how will xiao react when he stumbled upon his s/o bandaging their wounds they've gotten from a commission (the injuries are serious but not too serious to endanger them). the two then starts to argue until xiao confessed he's scared to lose them- sorry if its too specific aksjs but have a great day !!!

SNDNJD THANK YOU :,,,DDD

also dw dw it’s fine lmao

【ｘｉａｏ】

he finds his s/o bandaging their wounds and gets into a fight with them until he confesses he’s scared of losing them

warnings ; injuries, arguing, shouting, angst

- Archons, that was a long commission. Those mitachurls were far too persistent for how they normally were. You managed to finish up the commission, but not unscathed. You were covered head to toe in all sorts of bruises and cuts. Some particularly large ones were on your leg, and your upper arm.

- Luckily most bleeding had stopped, so you weren’t in any danger, and nothing opened up if you walked. It was a bit painful to get back to Wangshu Inn, but you’d manage.

- Xiao wasn't due to return for a while, so you should be able to deal with your injuries before he gets back. You don’t want to worry Xiao too much since he already deals with so much. Needing to worry about you is the last thing you want for him.

- You take the elevator up to the top of the Inn and climb up to the attic where you and Xiao share a living space. Xiao has a hammock sort of bed that’s hung from the support beams on the ceiling, while you sleep on a mattress on the floor. You’re roommates of sorts. 

- You find the crate filled with bandages and other sorts of first-aid items. You unfortunately can’t do too much for your bruises other than put some cryo slime packs on it. You clean the rest of your injuries, wiping off any caked blood and dirt after pretty much drowning them in some saline water. (You made it yourself with the handy old alchemy table in Liyue)

- After sticking some funky sort of gauze you got from Bubu pharmacy, you bandage up your wounds. You’re sort of a seasoned veteran at it since you’re often ending up with all sorts of scratches and cuts.

- Right as you were about to finish bandaging one of the last major cuts you had, you suddenly hear rustling from behind you. 

- "Xiao?" 

- You twist around from your place on the floor and find the adeptus standing behind you in silence. The fear in his eyes when scanning your wounds is enough to make your heart wrench. He almost instantly drops down to a crouch and firmly grabs your arm, analyzing the cut.

- "Dammit, you’re badly injured." 

- Xiao suddenly snaps, his voice still quiet but with almost a growling quality to it 

- "Xiao, I’m alright. This isn’t the first time I’ve been hurt." 

- "Yes, but you mortals are fragile!" Xiao begins to raise his voice at you. 

- "You never know when an injury could be your end!" He harshly shoves your arm back against your body. The sudden force against your battered arm makes you wince in pain, accidentally making you let out a pained noise. Xiao flinches at the sound, instantly becoming more emotionally charged.

- "Leave it to me to do the fighting! It’s my only damn purpose." He hisses, seething with self-hatred and fear. 

- You curl into yourself out of fear. You know Xiao wouldn’t hurt you, but he’s still terrifying when angry. 

- "You mortals are so damn delicate. I’ve seen so much bloodshed of beings far more powerful than you. If they can die, so can you, just like that!" Xiao’s fists are bunched at his side, eyes welling with tears. You had only seen him cry once before, and when he spotted you, he instantly disappeared. Like a fleeting memory. 

- "Xiao, I’m alive, aren’t I?" You say quietly, reaching out your hand to hold his. 

- He grabs it and brings it up to his chest. Tears are falling from his golden eyes. "You are, but I’ve seen so much death that I don’t want to lose you to!” He instantly stops in his tracks and his eyes widen. He didn’t mean to say that, but it was already out in the open now. With a growl, he aggressively wipes his tearful eyes with his wrist.

- Without a word, you pull him into a hug. Xiao stiffens up initially, but simply lets himself go. Tears don’t stop streaming from his eyes in a cluster of buried emotions. Everything that he had buried deep down was just surfacing again. But this time he wasn’t alone.

- “I’m not going anywhere, Xiao. I’m right here.” You hug him close and mutter to him softly.

- Please just hold him there for a while. The poor guy needs therapy.

lost & found // Diluc x Reader (1/3)

Word Count: ~3.3k 

Notes: GN!Reader, Seelie!Reader, Diluc/Reader, what more can I say? You’re a cute seelie following Diluc around

Summary: Vaguely remembering the time when you were once human, you are a mini seelie roaming the outskirts of Mondstadt when you find Diluc and decide to follow him-- though he does his share of following you too, through the best and worst of your adventures together. 

“You’re more of a radar for trouble than treasure, aren’t you,” Diluc says rather than asks you, though his fondness is clear to see. You can only do a bashful swirl in response. 

-

Alternatively: As a seelie, you’re terrible at leading Diluc towards treasure without running into hoards of hilichurls or enemies alike, but he follows you anyways. 

[Part 2]

.

.

You are a seelie. 

You aren’t quite sure what that is, but you know for a fact that the wispy reflection that you see in the lake is you. No hands, no legs, no head, no heart-- though you remember when you had all that before. You can feel yourself breathe, but you also know you would be fine without it. You touch the water and vaguely feel its coolness and register that it is wet, but you aren't sure what is touching the water or how you know what it feels like. 

You are able to fly. You rise, and you fall, and you twirl in midair, and you know you have never been able to do this until now. "This is nice," you find yourself saying, but your voice comes out garbled and high, so you stop. You suppose losing your speech is the price to pay for the power of flight.

You don't know how long you wandered until you find something familiar to you. In a land of slimes, aggressive flowers, and crystalized butterflies, it's hard for you to take everything in at once. But you can recognize a human when you see one. (It would be difficult not to. You were once human, too, if you can remember.)

The human is strikingly distinct as far as humans go. With bright red hair, the man in black leans against the tree by the lakeside and watches the water lap up against the short cliff. You don't make snap judgments, not usually, but when you see the man in black, you can't help that your first thoughts are that he looks lonely.

You float to him steadily from what you hope is outside of his sight, curious enough to approach and observe what you can of him without being seen. 

Except, the moment you fly near him, he looks directly at you. (Apparently, you glow, if the light that you shine on his face is not enough of an indicator of your bioluminescence.)

You freeze in mid-air, or as much as you can as a globby orb of light. You wait with bated breath as he watches you as intently as you watched him, and you take a glimpse at what your light has allowed you to see: bright red eyes to match his hair. (You've never seen so much red on a person. And red-red too, not just the orange-y red you've seen people with.) 

Not knowing what else to do, you decide to do a somersault. (You think if you were still a human, you’d attempt to crack a joke or start a conversation to break the ice, but alas.)

You expect him to start doing something-- anything. But the man continues to look at you, though with less of a guarded expression and more of a curious one instead. 

You almost feel offended by the strange look he gives you, but then you see his lips uplift into a small smile and you forgive him. For good measure, you twirl in the air and, when he simply follows you with his eyes, you circle around his head like a halo.

"You're a different type of seelie, aren't you?" He says, his arms still crossed when you fly down to smush your face against the red gem at his collar and the Vision at his waist. You loop around his legs and try to lift his fur-lined coattails, only for him to lift it up himself and shoot you a raised brow. "Did you want me to follow you?"

Follow you? You wonder, why would he want to follow you? You don't think you have anywhere to be, let alone anywhere to lead him to. 

Now how to convey that to him…

The red-head watches you as you shake yourself side-to-side in what you hope looked like the shake of a head. "Ah… That's a no, then. I see," he says. He chuckles when you chirp in joy, looping up again. 

He pushes himself off the tree and walks on the path, toward the mansion in the distance. You follow closely behind him. A few steps in, he turns to you-- and you almost feel bashful enough to droop in height.

"Are you following me on purpose?" He asks.

You swirl up and eagerly bob your head. You wish you could ask, but the only thing you can do is trill-- which seems to do the trick when you hear the man huff in amusement before beginning to walk again. "Well, hurry up then," he says, and you chirp once before speeding up to catch to him in record-speed flying. 

(If you accidentally crash into his back at your eagerness, you think the shake of his shoulders in his laughter is only good signs of the beginning of a friendship.)

.

.

.

You hope the man you’ve decided to follow doesn't mind that all you can do is trill and twirl in the air. You make for a poor partner in conversation, considering you cannot supply the words to respond, but you think he at least finds you amusing at least if the small smile on his face is anything of note. You think he looks rather charming like that, as opposed to his straight-faced somberness when he was alone. Very mysterious, you think to yourself, must be popular.

When you follow him and see groves of grapevines and a mansion of formidable size, you think perhaps his rugged handsomeness and broodingly mysterious nature aren’t his only charm points. 

(You wonder if you can eat. You press where you think your mouth should be onto a bunch of grapes only to be disappointed by a lack of action. 

"What are you doing?" The man's voice calls out to you, amusement laced into his words. You turn around and speed back to him, feigning innocence.) 

The two of you enter the confines of Dawn Winery-- or so you read from a sign. You watch curiously as your mysterious man waves his hand in greeting when a few maids bow respectfully and follow him into the back where a man waits by a wheelbarrow.

"Master Diluc," the man says, and you are elated to finally put a name to a face you've followed for a while now. The winery employee looks past him at you, and you instinctively hedge closer to Diluc, almost hiding behind his hair. "Is that… a seelie?"

"So it seems," Diluc replies, crossing his arms. He takes a look at you. "Though it has yet to guide me anywhere."

You let out an extended squeak of indignance that makes him laugh, uncrossing his arms before he turns back to the worker at hand to discuss business. 

You'll show him, you think huffily. You can guide him somewhere-- it's in your bones (metaphorically). You found him, didn't you? You reason, surely there is something innately Seelie about you that will lead him somewhere.

Most seelies, as you have learned from watching Diluc follow the larger blue seelies, guide people to a treasure chest or some kind of monetary reward for leading them back to their seelie courts. You wonder if they are programmed to know where they are supposed to go and if there is a natural pull to a certain place. You wonder if it's anything like your wandering curiosity similar to that of a child, hoping to see what lies ahead and barreling forth. 

Either way, you take the lead and Diluc follows you out into Teyvat.

And he follows you right into enemy territory.

The first time feels like an accident, and after Diluc destroys the encampment, he finds a box of artifacts as a reward for his battle prowess. (You've never seen so much burnt grass.) The second time you guide him into enemy territory feels like a coincidence. They were next to each other, and hey, Diluc is able to find an exquisite chest this time filled to the brim with mora.

The third time around, it is hard to argue otherwise.

"You're more of a radar for trouble than treasure, aren't you," Diluc comments, settling down onto a log as you (metaphorically) bury your head into your hands. To convey such emotion as a seelie, you droop to the ground as flat as you could possibly be at his feet.

"I'm kidding," he says, watching with quipped lips as you rise from the ground moodily. "We did get some treasure out of it, so it wasn't a total loss." He reaches out with his hand to gently brush over your front as he would a cat-- and you react as a cat would, preening into his hand. He lets out a huff of laughter. "Affectionate, aren't you?"

You do a bashful swirl.

.

.

.

You realize soon enough that most people would not call Diluc private or stoic. Charming, a man with a way with his words, succinct, and pleasant are only a few things you've heard people say about him. And you were right-- he is a popular man if the eyes that follow him and the dreamy sighs that come after he leaves is of any indication.

The mysteriously cool Diluc you meet on the first day is vastly different from the man that everyone else interacts with on a day to day basis. He's not charming all the time, but he has a way about him that exudes confidence and almost an elitist composure. In some ways, you are glad-- you don't have to hide away behind his collar or in his hair (you still do this, if you're honest, just because his hair is so fluffy), afraid to mar his pristine reputation as a local bad boy. And in other ways, you are a bit smug, to know a side of Diluc that he shows to very few people.

Kaeya is one of those few people you have seen Diluc act anything less than amicable towards. 

"I was hoping one day you would have someone at your side but I have to admit, Master Diluc," Kaeya says, propping his face on his hand in amusement, "this is not quite what I imagined."

You let out a titter of laughter at the difference between the two men's expressions as Kaeya pokes at your little translucent ears. Kaeya looks at you with mesmerizing amusement as Diluc glares at Kaeya over his wiped-clean glass like he would like to do nothing else but break it over the other's head. ("It wouldn't hurt that much," Kaeya tells you flippantly. "Not as much as the hangovers his drinks give me.")

"Don't you have somewhere better to be?"

"Not really, no." Kaeya replies, feigning hurt, "Why, don't want me here?"

"Never."

Kaeya gives you a pointed look akin to a puppy. "His words are colder than my Vision, mini seelie," he says to you. "Careful not to get frostbite now."

"You have the privilege of having earned my ire," Diluc says shortly. "Also," he slaps Kaeya on the back of his hand when he goes to pull at your ears, "stop that."

"Protective, aren't you?" Kaeya chuckles, watching as you gaze up at Diluc adoringly. "I think you're one phrase away from telling me to get my own mini seelie."

At this, you let out a long coo, flying up to bop Kaeya gently on his nose before going over to Diliuc and rubbing your face onto his cheeks. You hear Diluc let out another breath of laughter, and you feel his hand press you closer to him. “Are you comforting me?” He asks in amusement, and for once, he does not berate Kaeya for joining in with his laughter. 

“The pair the two of you make,” Kaeya drawls, picking up his glass of Death After Noon. “You’d fight wars for each other, wouldn’t you?”

Of course you would, you think, though there was very little you could do as a seelie-- and you forget that at times. 

To be fair, most of the time, Diluc didn’t seem to treat you any less than his traveling companion. You’re only reminded when you float on your own when he’s cleaning up the tavern and get chased by cats and birds alike, only to come flying home to Diluc blubbering about your near-death experiences (though was it even possible for you to die?). And when you try to, in attempts to help Diluc out, scold a rowdy customer into behaving by slamming your body into their face rapidly without doing any damage whatsoever.   

The two of you-- Seelie and Uncrowned King of Mondstadt-- were a pair of renown. (“Two peas in a pod,” Venti would say the first time you led Diluc to him at Starsnatch Cliff, and “always together like bread and butter,” he said to you two the second time you find him near Starfell Lake. And “are you two following me?” when Venti walks into the tavern for the third consecutive meeting.) And if you ever doubted that Diluc cared for you, you had to look no further than when you were stolen from Diluc’s side by treasure hoarders who didn’t know any better.

It is in these moments where you are viscerally reminded that you are a seelie-- a being meant to guide people to treasures-- and not what you have been for the past few-- weeks? months? by Diluc’s side. You realize that you’ve never been hurt in this form before when you are kidnapped. It didn’t occur to you that you could feel any pain, and you wonder why not when you can feel the softness of Diluc’s hair and the warmth of his hand-- all gentle, loving gestures. Being squeezed by the treasurer hoarder’s hand feels suffocating, like your lungs being crushed under a massive, unrelenting weight.

It is not pleasant, to say the least, especially when they threaten you to take them to treasure that you know you cannot locate. 

Or can you? 

With convincing pulses of light, as though you’re approaching actual riches, you lead them where you lead people (or rather, just Diluc) best. 

The enemies of your enemies are your friends; you watch as an axed mitachurl spins around, chasing after the treasurer hunters who with varying degrees of fear, run away. They would have gotten away scot-free if they had not run into Diluc who had somehow found you before you could come back to him.

His phoenix burns bright especially in the moonless night, and Diluc takes care of two enemy camps that night. 

“Clever,” he says, making you preen, “leading them here. They really didn’t know what they signed up for when they started following you, did they?”

How did you find me? You trill, twirling around. And there should be no reasonable way for Diluc to understand what you’re trying to say, but he does anyways. 

“I just did what you usually do for me,” Diluc says, putting his hand up so you can gently land on it. Your glow illuminates his face in the softest shade of color. You watch as his lips turn up into a small smile. “I led myself to wherever the trouble was and knew I’d find you.” 

(Diluc will never tell you this for as long as you are a seelie, but the moment you do not come back to him when he finishes up his shift at Angel’s Share, his stomach drops. It shouldn’t have been hard to spot you, a glowing light, amongst the quiet, softly lit streets of Mondstadt, but he gives the city a quick lookover and cannot find you. 

He learns about the treasure hoarders from his connections and does not hesitate to take his broadsword with him and go looking for you. 

He runs into two other treasure hoarder camps and fights three groups of slimes before he finds the hilichurl camp you’ve led the hunters into, beyond relieved to see your familiar light in the distance.)

From that night, Diluc finds a mini seelie (you), sixteen anemo sigils, an old broadsword, mora, and a few treasure hunter insignias left behind. He gives you a sunsettia even though the both of you know you cannot eat, and you sit together at the edge of a cliff, watching the moon come out from its hiding place within the clouds. 

You have never felt safer.

.

.

.

You don’t really sleep, but every night you take your place by Diluc’s pillow and let time pass you by. Time feels different as a seelie, especially when you do not have Diluc to ground you to the schedule of a normal person. 

Though, if you were honest, it isn’t as though Diluc keeps regular hours himself. How many times have you bullied (read: squeaked at) him into turning in before dawn? How many times have you pressed your entire translucent body onto his face so he can take the hint to finally take a break? You vaguely remember being a human, and you think you should be abhorred by the amount of sleep Diluc isn’t taking, considering how good sleep can feel. 

On the bright side, Diluc has gotten more used to your antics that it only takes a little nagging from your end for him to turn the desk lamp off.

“You’re quite persistent,” he comments, following you with his eyes as you press your body into various spots in the ceiling above him. “I can’t tell if I’ve been blessed or cursed with you as some sort of guardian.”

Guardian seelie, you titter, spinning around with your ears outstretched as though you were an angel. Special isekai seelie, you laugh to yourself, and Diluc only watches you fondly as you float down. 

"’Stripped of all that the body once held close and the soul once held dear, song and memories are all that now remain of yesteryear,’” Diluc recites quietly as you look up to him. “‘The last singers-- the first Seelie-- they played their final tune in the halls of angels.’" 

What is that?

“It’s a song I remember hearing when I was a child,” he says, “about seelies and their origins. I don’t remember if there was anything else, but it came to me today when I was thinking of you.” You wait for him to continue as he dims the light, your glow the only thing illuminating the room other than the moon. “Most seelies want to go back to their seelie courts… but it doesn’t seem as though you want to.” He pauses. “Or is it that you don’t have a court to go back to?”

You stay silent. 

“Sorry, forget what I said. It doesn’t matter in the end anyways.” Diluc scoops you up from his lap to place you at your usual place on the other pillow by his head. You softly trill when he gently pets you, and whether you mean to or not, you glow just a bit brighter for a moment.

“Even if one day you decide to leave, the winery will always be open to you,” he says. “Adeleine and the rest of the maids will recognize you and let you in-- though I suppose the entirety of Mondstadt knows who you are by now so I guess I don’t have to worry about that, do I?” He smiles when you coo softly.

“Good night,” Diluc says to you, as he does every night, and sleeps knowing you cannot say it back in words, though he understands you regardless every time.

If you weren’t a seelie, would you have been able to be as close to Diluc as you are now? Would he still have cared about you to the extent he does now?

Even if these questions did not have the answers you wanted to hear, you think to yourself, as your heart warms (though you have no heart) from the sight of seeing Diluc’s even rise and fall of his chest, that you wish that you’d one day be able to say ‘good night’ back to him.

.

You can only watch the moon rise and dream.

When there’s around 3 hours to go, Ethan gets 00:00:00 tattooed on his left arm by DanielleSkyeee. They promise that if the stream receives 1 million likes, they will reveal the inside of their coffin and possibly get inside. With less than an hour to go, this does indeed happen, with the fake eulogies making them emotional and the coffin is dubbed the ‘Cry Box’. As the hours become not only minutes but seconds, Mark, Ethan and Amy gather around the laptop so they can press the delete button together.

HC of the warlords reacting to an MC that thinks she doesn't deserve love due to her disability and is insecure about her femininity? Thank you.

Hi, there love! Thank you so much for the request! I hope you enjoy it❤🥰🔥

Side note you didn’t really specify what kind of disability so I made it kind of vague so it can probably be interpreted as any kind of disability (physical or mental). Also, double side note to anyone reading with any insecurities,    the warlords will legit love you no matter what, you could be a ball of slime on the floor and they would still love and cherish you to the ends of the earth and back! ❤❤❤🥰

Anyway, I hope I didn't miss the mark too badly with this :P

HEADCANON; ODA FORCES WITH INSECURE DISABLED MC

He will do everything and anything in his power to make you see just how beautiful and cute you are. 

He will buy you the most exquisite princess gown and accessories and tell you how breathtaking you look in them

It breaks his softi boy's heart to see you feel so insecure about yourself.

“Why do you look so down fireball,” cue silence

“Tell me.”

You tell him you feel like you don’t deserve his love, and he should just cut his losses now and find someone more suitable to rule the…..

Cuts you off with the most passionate kiss

“Nonsense none other is as fit as you to rule by my side.”

“If anyone in this whole world deserves my love, it is you, my sweet.”

“In fact, I love the way you crinkle your nose up at food you dislike, I love the way your smile instantly brightens any room you are in, I love your boldness, I love that you are the only person in the world who would stand up to me and give your honest opinions, I love your beautiful eyes that remind me of an ocean of stars, I love feeling your soft hair falling between my fingers, I love how soft your skin is and finally fireball, I love you just the way you are”

You can help but let a tear slip

“Now then, fireball, if you still doubt my love for you, I shall show you exactly how much I love you.”

Cue sexy times

Since that day, Nobunaga would tell you every second of every day just how much he loves you. And he will happily pull you with him to the futon to love the shit out of you whenever you feel insecure or sad

Hideyoshi 

Mama bear will love you NO MATTER WHAT

If anything you should be complaining about the suffocating amount of love this boi sends your way and don’t even get me starting on the doting

In his eyes, you are the most perfect beautiful person he has ever seen

One day he comes back to see your tear-stained face

You are the sweetest cutes girl he has ever met, and we all know this boy has been around the block- so you best believe it's true

He will remind you every day of his love for you

Mitsunari

You are the only one who can instantly bring Mitsunari out his reading trance

He is extremely sensitive to your moods and emotions.

The two of you are sitting in his room reading together when you start overthinking; you look down at yourself and can't help but shed a tear

Mitsunari's attention is immediately on you.

His shining amethyst eyes are gazing at you, and the second he sees the tear slip down your cheek he throws his book to the side and rushes to your side

He gently wipes your tears away and cups your face, urging you to look up at him

You struggle to meet his gaze, keeping your eyes down

The riverbank breaks as you start to speak, and your tears are now streaming down your face.

You tell him all about how undeserving you are of his love and that you are insecure about your femininity

Blinks at you in confusion

“what do you mean you are undeserving of love.”

Is genuinely confused, what is wrong with you, in his eyes, you are absolutely perfect

He sees you as the sweetest angel from heaven, and he legit sends up silent prayers everyday thanking whoever brought you into his life.

You are his sunshine on a cloudy day. His everything.

He gathers you in his arms and whispers sweetly in your ears exactly how wonderful you are.  All while caressing your arms with his fingertips. 

He will kiss you sweetly, to remind you of his love

Will tickle you, just to see your beautiful smile back on your face.

He refuses to let you go, so the rest of the afternoon is spent nestled in his arms while he continues to read. He will kiss your cheek every now and again just to remind you of his undying love for you

Ieyasu

You have had the worst day

Not only were you feeling insecure but you had overheard some of the maids gossiping about you, which really hurt your heart

All you wanted to do is go home and hide under the fluffy covers of yours and Ieyasu’s futon

You were now gently sobbing in the futon when nosey Wasabi came in to see what was bothering you

The fawn gently got down to nestled next to you and placed her head on your lap in hopes of comforting you

You started petting her while telling her that you are considering breaking up with Ieyasu cause you feel undeserving of his love

All while unbeknown to you Ieyasu was listening to your whole conversation with the fawn through the other side of the sliding door

He feels his heartbreak a little for you, he better not see those maids who gossiped about you cause he will definitely have some words for them

He sneaks into the room and plonks himself behind you and nuzzles your neck; you were super surprised, you didn't even hear him come in.

His wraps his arms around your waist and kisses your neck

You try and hide the fact that you had just spent the last 30 minutes crying

Ieyasu whispers in your ear that he had overheard you talking to wasabi

“It's not true, you know, they are probably just a bunch of jealous spinsters who can’t take the fact that you are the most beautiful woman in the whole world.”

You shake your head and tell him he's wrong and start listing all the reasons why you simply aren’t. 

Before you can continue listing your flaws, Yasu cuts you off and tell you to say one simple statement for him

“Say you are the most beautiful woman in the world.”

You refuse

Ieyasu will give you a flurry butterfly kisses. “stop that’s ticklish.” You can't help but laugh through the sobs.

“Say it or I won't stop.”

“Okay, okay, I am…. The.. most, do I really have to say it out loud”. He glares at you and nudges you in the neck with his nose as if to say keep going. “beautiful woman in the world.”

You can't help but laugh at yourself a little. Satisfied, Yasu kisses the back of your neck and states, “That’s much better; that doofy smile suite you much better.”

Since that day Ieyasu made a point of complimenting your appearance and give you lots of kisses to remind you just how much he loves you

Mitsuhide

Mitsuhide was sitting at his desk working through important documents when all of a sudden he heard something break

He looked up to see you crouched downs looking at the broken pieces of glass in your hands

Your eyes started to prickle with tears. You looked at the vase you had accidentally broken and couldn’t help but feel unworthy of Mitsuhide’s love

This didn’t go unobserved by the keen eyes of the kitsune

He swiftly got up and walked his way towards you, he then crouched down in front of you and took your tiny two hands in his bigger hands

You looked up at him, eyes red from unshed tears, the only word slipping from your lips “Broken.”

“Here, love, let me help you clean it up, careful not to cut yourself, my dear. Don’t worry; I never did like this vase; now it gives us an excuse to buy a new one together.”

You shook your head, “No, Mitsu, I'm broken.”

“You deserve someone who can give you more.”

Mitsuhide was confused; what did you mean. He thought you perfect. 

He cupped your cheeks with his hands gently wiping away the tear that managed to break free

You once again told him that he deserved much better than you and that you didn’t deserve his love.

He gently lifted your face until you were looking in his eyes. He again took your two small hands in his and nuzzled your nose with his

“My dear, you are most definitely not broken. If anything, I am the broken one. But do you want to know something amusing, my dearest?  Perhaps if you and I are broken, it can be said that we were both two broken souls on the hunt for love, and finding you have made me realize that our broken, crooked pieces were meant to fit perfectly together, just like a beautiful puzzle. Unfortunately for you, my love, I believe you are the mate of my soul, and now that I have found you, I most definitely will not be letting you go.”

He stepped over the broken glass, picked you up, and moved to sit with you on the futon. He enveloped you in his love. He sat so that you were nestled in his lap and your head on his chest. He caressed your face and hair and kissed away all your tears. No teasing today only sweet words of love from this kitsune

After that, he spends every day showering you in love. In the mornings, he would snake his arms around your waist and kiss your nose, reminding him just how much he loves you

The two of you are two broken pieces of a whole new beautiful soul. Since that day, you never again felt insecure and unworthy of love again because Mitsuhide was right; you had found your soulmate, and he is the most loving man alive.

Masamune

It was your and Masamune's one-year anniversary and he had cooked the two of you the most amazing meal

The two of you were self-reflecting on the year of bliss, the two of you shared

In the middle of your conversation, one of the younger maids entered the room to bring the two of you the dessert Masamune had prepared

She was known among the maids to have had a massive crush on Masa and was definitely the most bitter when the news broke that the two of you were dating

As she placed down your dessert, she whispered: “Soon, MasaMasa will realize that you are unworthy of his love and affection and that he is meant to be with me.”

She then moved to the other side of the table and placed down Masa’sMasa’s dessert all while giving you a look of disgust, and swiftly left.

This prompted you to start overthinking, and before you knew it, you were crying into your dessert.

Masa now looked at you with concern, “what is going on with you kitten, where has my happy smiley kitten gone.”

You told Masamune all the feelings and thoughts swirling around in your head

Masa immediately stood up and went to get the fluffiest softest blanket he could find.

He then wrapped you into the blanked, all snug like a little purr-ito

He stated ticking you and kissing away the tears

“No Masa stop, how am I supposed to defend myself, if you’ve wrapped me uptight.” You tried to worm your self away only to be caught 

He then pulled you into his lap, kissing and nipping your neck and ears.

Masamune knew the perfect way to bring the smile back on his kitten's face again… ACTIVATE CAT PUNS MODE

“Comon kitten, let me see that Perr-fect smile of yours. You know I love my little kitten, the meowst. You are such a purr-ty lass.

“You couldn't help but break out into laughter. “Please, Masa stop, ha-ha, you puns are terrible.”

“There is that paw-some smile I love so much.”

You couldn’t help but beam up at Masa, man you loved this silly man

Masamune spent the rest of that night showing you exactly how much he loved you

And needless to say, that maid was transferred to Mitsuhide’s palace, so he could keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t come near their precious princess again.

I hope yall enjoyed it and let me know if you want me to do this one for the other bois aswell <3

Mangadex went down so I read alot 1/7

Lets review a bunch of isekai and related stuff I binged because mangadex went down. The scale will be a single thumbs up to a single thumbs down in terms of how much I would consider recommending it in general.

Legend

Chapters 1-51 Pretty straight forward in most aspects. For the best. Nothing crazy bad or good happening, making it surprisingly straight forward for an isekai. [Insert isekai startup here] but this time the MC is given a super magic body and the knowledge of ancient magic. Which he promptly uses to create a griffon buddy. Gets a THUMB IN THE UPPER CORNER for just being a nice, believable stay in a world, but I have read some stuff that really has interesting sparks the way this doesnt. MC is brutal at times and General Princess is cute. They make a good pair for each other.  Although there are no ecchi situations, that artist really knows how to slide in the lewds, whether its mid combat flourishes or pre chapter artwork.

The Black Create Summoner: Revolt of Reincarnated

All Chapters

Truly is revolting. A resounding THUMBS DOWN.  Apparently this was just an advertisement manga, which means that its intentionally incomplete and unsatisfying. Ontop of that, the sketchy artwork was generally rough and got worse to look at the more it went on. [Insert isekai startup here] but this time he has a grimoire that lets him summon stuff he draws. The power isn’t used that much though or in that creative of ways. Characters didn’t really leave an impact except maybe the elf little sister that is stubborn yet knows she is incompotent and recruits a dragon out of stubbornness. 

Minotaur’s Sweetheart

Chapters 1-16

So what if a minotaur accidentally seduced the adventurer that was assigned to kill him? This is a good romance manga deserving a THUMBS UP because the pure-hearted minotaur boy and the unmarriageable adventurer girl actually develop a relationship and progress as people. The manga is ultimately about monsters and humans interacting and is fresh due to having a plot that evolves the situation a lot beyond the initial setup of the manga.

Moon-led Journey Across Another World

Chapters 1-64

[Insert isekai startup here] but this time the god of the new world calls the MC ugly and banishes him to the edge of the world to die off. In order to help out the MC, the god of our world (Tsukuyomi) gives him a bit of power. The MC is funny to watch once you realize that he is an incredibly cautious pureboy and expecting every common street thug to potentially end him but in reality he is a god-rivaling cataclysm himself and never realizes. He is so powerful that he recruits the blue haired mist dragon, Tomoe, and accidentally turns her into a weeaboo. Tomoe can read minds and access pocket space with her mist ontop of her sick weeaboo katana skills. She really shines as the most mature person in the story, gaining information that no one else in the story has and carefully withholding it from the MC in order to protect his innocence. She is a DAMN good tomboyish waifu and sarashii is a blessing. Other main girl is yandere spider, Mio, which has shockingly good and well conveyed bouts of emotion. She has an extremely rare “can’t cook at all” joke that is explained due to her “eat literally anything” nature. In terms of plot, the MC hates the god of the world he is in and pretty much plans to do everything she doesn’t want him to. Which means mingling with humans, and eventually, god slaying/usurption. Odd think about this manga is that it’s heavily Japanese-inspired. That may sound odd because its a manga, but generally isekai are most medieval/western skinned than this one which leans in on Japanese mythos. Just look at the god of our world in the manga.

THUMBS UP.

The Unsuccessful yet Academically Unparalleled Sage ~A Cheating S-Rank Sorcerer's Post-Rebirth Adventurer Log~

Chapter 1-10 So lets set up this genre here. This is a part of the “reincarnation” genre, which is a spinoff of isekai. They generally depict a very capable mage who reincarnates themselves into the future of their own world. At which point they realize that although they were pretty strong in their day, they are now practically a god in the deteriorated modern day. This genre will hereby be indicated by [Insert reincarnation startup here]. For this manga in specific, [Insert isekai startup here] but this time the MC could only use lightning magic and was the best at it but failed the gene gacha then [Insert reincarnation startup here] and he fails gene gacha again but is still the walking thunder god. These kinds of manga are always precious when the MC can walk through the world and see the fruits of their past labor. Specifically through Merlin, the MC’s adopted demon daughter who has grown up to be his heritor and bridge human/demon relationships. Truly adorable and heart warming. Lacks a bit of spice from themeing or ongoing plot due to its short length however. THUMB IN THE UPPER CORNER.

Older Elite Knight is cute only in front of me

Chapters 1-17.1

THUMBS UP. This is an oneshota manga where shota is a chad with incredibly good tastes. A really good ecchi manga with a light hearted story featuring Haru(the shota) knight that joins Karen’s(the oneesan) knight crew. As with all good romance manga, the main plot isn’t romance. Knight shenanigins are always happening, with a big (and lewd) bad entering recently. Top tier variation on the lewds, even including a princess loli in on the fun. Must read for all oneshota fans.

Lonely Attack on A Different World

Chapter 1-91

[Insert isekai startup forma de classroom here] but this time the MC gets leftover garbage skills and has to learn to survive. Learning to survive thus makes him the most op and he can magic trick his way out of literally anything. Strong start as the whole classroom first tries to get their footing, but after the starting arc is done this manga starts spinning it’s wheels. The manga is kinda lacking in themes, overarching plot and end goals, so stuff just happens to make this a sort of slice of life trap room escape manga. Magic “just works” in this universe so its not very dramatic when the MC pulls out a new trick out of his bag of million tricks. Just kinda stagnates too much for my liking. THUMB IN THE BOTTOM CORNER.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer

Chapters 1-34

Rentt Faina, the MC, is a good guy with no talent who aspires to be a legendary adventurer. But then he gets turned into a skeleton, giving the chance to evolve his way to greatness, kinda like in Spider isekai or Dragon isekai. The MC is most like Goblin Slayer in his serious and knowledgeable approach to the world, how characters that know him revere him. End goal so far is just him seeing how far he can evolve as he comes across other vampires and vampire hunters. Really want to see him go to the top. Fuckin great art. Girls drawn perfect. Like the hat on the guild girl, but nothing beats the witch Lorraine. THUMBS UP.

Teihen Ryoushu No Kanchigai Eiyuutan

Chapters 1-13

THUMB IN UPPER CORNER. Pretty funny comedy about a lord of a poor land who wants to be a stereotypical evil lord but can only use healing magic. Therefore he bumbles his way into accepting a heretical cult nun, beast men who hate humans, etc. All the girls are to crazy for him to want to sex them(weak. give the assassin nun your babies). Most interesting parts are aforementioned nun, his fujoshi assistant, and the MC’s willingness to use his power to commit heretical and immoral warcrimes. 

The Undead Lord of the Palace of Darkness

Chapters 1-11

Art average, don’t come to this one for spectacle. It’s strength is in the subertfuge that it’s recently-necromanced-back-to-life MC goes through to get his Master killed and to later, probably, evolve into a vampire. MC isn’t evil though, just wants to survive. Main girl on cover was born and raised to hunt vampires but has a compassionate heart. Obviously she goes easy on and relates to MC. Story is still kinda in it’s first arc so the overall trajectory of the story is a bit hard to gauge and not quite satisfying enough by its own right. Probably a thumb up with more chapters but for now THUMB IN THE UPPER CORNER.

The Reincarnated Inferior Magic Swordsman

Chapters 1-38

[Insert isekai startup here] but this time.... uh... THUMB SIDEWAYS. Usually I am patient, but 31 chapters with no goal and just barely plot? Wow. Saving grace is uh... I guess the world of “other isekai people existed but they sucked because they didn’t level uncap like MC” could go somewhere but. I take it back, lowering this one to a THUMB DOWN.

The Invincible Sage in the Second World.

Chapters 1-12

[Insert isekai startup here] but this time a pro mmo player in a game called “Broken Balance Online.” Guess what his class, the sage class, was considered in the game? Not far along enough to really pop off but it isn’t horrible. MC is moderately cautious to a healthy degree which is actually rare in most isekai. THUMB IN BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. 

The Dark Queen and I Strike Back

Chapters 1-29.5

Although technically an isekai, no isekai startup here. This a battle manga with a big mystery on the backdrop of a war. That is to say, the MC gets teleported to a world to kill the demons but he ends up defending them from the humans with all he’s got. Of special note is the complete seriousness of this manga that whiplashes into debauchery like tentacles, the above cover, oneshota, and even really dark jokes in some of the omake. That tonal lash effect will be either make or break, and it is a HUGE make for me. I love when a single piece can have both absolute serious scenes and utterly lighthearted and fluffy ones. Or in this case utterly lewd ones. May the average-human-amount-of-perverted MC one day slam some demon lord loli. THUMBS UP.

Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers

Chapters 1-24

THUMB SIDEWAYS. Has the feeling of a nerfed slime isekai. Nerfed in all ways except romance. Art surprisingly good.

My COVID-19 Anime List

People have often asked me what I have been up do during the quarantine. Besides working on Giant Diaries and staying afloat as an “essential worker,” most of my free time has been spent watching anime.

Context: I hadn’t watched ANY anime since I was in high school (circa 2005). But just before the quarantine was announced, I felt a bit nostalgic for a show I watched when I was younger (Najica Blitz Tactics). After rewatching it, I got curious about another. And then, when I suddenly had so much free time, I found myself watching a bunch more.

And since I have now watched well over 50 different anime titles in the span of 4 months, I figured I would write a little something about it.

A few notes about my show choices: I am a bit of a snob when it comes to TV series. I watch what I like, and care very little about outside opinions. Mainly because I have specific tastes which even my closest friends sometimes can’t understand. Also because I try to avoid the “popular” shows that everyone else watches.

Naturally, after watching so many anime titles, I’ve discovered a number of elements, genres, and tropes that I especially enjoy (as well as ones I could really do without).

Tropes I Like:

RPG-style fantasy/adventure

Cinematic action/fight scenes

Superpowered characters with complementary (or contradictory) abilities

Buddy-cop partnerships and “unlikely duos”

Unabashed fan service

Yuri romance

Magical Girls and/or Girls-with-Guns

Zany, over-the-top comedy with profound, tear-jerkingly dramatic story arcs

Character Types I Like:

The Badass - The best at what they do, and don’t think twice about it

The Shinobi - Masked ninja who can appear and vanish at will

The Emotionless Girl - Shameless carbon-copy of Rei Ayanami who barely speaks or displays any kind of emotion

Tropes I Avoid:

Giant, building-smashing monsters

Mechs and mobile suits

Excessive gore

Over-the-top and persistent inclusion of “tsundere” and/or the jealous, clingly (non-)girlfriend

“Wimpy Guy” trope, or “I accidentally saw your underwear! Please spare my life!!”

Any and every kiss/display of affection is “coincidentally” interrupted by “plot”

The List

On to the list! I divided the shows up into an overall ranking system based on my own enjoyment. The breakdown essentially goes like this:

S-Rank: Shows I absolutely loved and would happily rewatch or recommend to someone with similar tastes.

A-Rank: Shows I loved, but not enough to necessarily watch again. I would probably still recommend it to someone with similar tastes, and I’m definitely looking forward to the next season.

B-Rank: Shows I enjoyed for various reasons, but am basically done with. Would not think to recommend it, and would probably pass on another season.

The “+” or “-” indicates rank within each category (ie. A+ versus A-). Otherwise, shows are listed in no particular order.

S Rank

+ Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest + Prison School + Najica Blitz Tactics + Keijo!!!!!!!! + I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Got a Job That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist The Devil is a Part-Timer! Thunderbolt Fantasy Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C3 NEW GAME! Sakura Trick - Strike Witches - High School of the Dead   - My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! - Citrus

A Rank

+ GOBLIN SLAYER + Is This a Zombie? + Aria: The Scarlet Ammo + Konosuba - God's Blessing on this Wonderful World Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? Kill la Kill Sword Art Online Sword Art Online Alternative "Gun Gale Online" Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Juden Chan Maria the Virgin Witch Agent Aika Kaguya-sama: Love is War Upotte!! Kanamemo Sweet Blue Flowers - Unbreakable Machine Doll - High School DxD - Magical Warfare - When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace

B Rank

+ BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense + Sword Art Online - Alicization + Campione! Chaos Dragon Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions How Not to Summon a Demon Lord The Sacred Blacksmith Black Bullet Cop Craft Freezing Witch Blade Strike Witches: 501st Joint Fighter Wing Take Off! Tears to Tiara Princess Connect! Re: Dive Qualidea Code Konohana Kitan - Maken-Ki! Battling Venus - Rosario + Vampire - Dagashi Kashi - Gunslinger Stratos

There were a few other series that I started, but stopped partway through or even after just one or two episodes because I couldn’t get into them. I didn’t list any of them here mainly because I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. Most of my anime preferences are guilty pleasures as it is, so I recognize those shows are probably just not to my particular taste.

I may come back and do some brief reviews to give context to some of the shows I listed and why they are ranked where they are, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.

UPDATE (4/8/22): Revisiting this list now that it has been almost 2 full years later, and we are (nearly/hopefully) through with the pandemic. A mere 50+ titles seems like child’s play now. I have now surpassed 150 and am closing in on the 200 mark.

If you are still interested in my anime journey, you can find my updated list on My Anime List. 

[mindareadsoots]

-The messed up landscape of Elemental Ooo is a lot of fun

-I also really like Fire Finn’s design

-Hero Heart title drop

-Don’t lie LSP, you need emotions to be hurt emotionally

-Oh yeah, Betty still has that flying carpet from when she first showed up in Ooo.

-Well, Fern and Lemonaid accidentally killed two of them

-”We’re the only sane ones left.” Oh god, Ice King is right, and that goes to show just how screwed Ooo is.

-Is it just me, or are the Candy people the most unnerving of the bunch? The slime people are chill, Patience has good reason to be upset with how her plan turned out, and Flame Princess hasn’t changed much to be honest. Then there’s the deranged enthusiasm of the Candy Kingdom.

-lol, burned marshmallow

-SHUT UP LSP

-lol, Marshmaline stripping off a layer of burnt marshmallow is pretty funny

-Hey, LSP helped

-I like how Finn’s inner journey hit upon all of the most messed up parts of his relationship with PB before settling in on where they are now

-lmao, Finn puts him out with “Stop, drop, and roll.”

-Gem #2 acquired

-oh geez, PB is crazy powerful

-So basically, everybody has an element of one of the four temperments that can be exploited by the magic of these lands, except for LSP because she’s a narcissistic sociopath. 

-Curse Betty’s sudden but inevitable betrayal!

-You see what I mean about these fuckers being the creepiest?!

-Is that Me-mow?

-And Finn’s screwed.
