reactions and headcanons of brozone about: how would they fell about y/n having an egg?(once married ofc) sorry if too much

John Dory

Definitely hubby material

Van life with you and him?

Chef kiss

Ok

He definitely gives malewife vibes

Because he’s so used to being the responsible one

But he also deserves a break so you split all the chores in half

You surprise him with your pregnancy announcement by giving him a cup that says “worlds greatest Dad”

He’s shocked

Like he goes still and you worry- what if he doesn’t want children? It wasn’t a planned thing

And then he just scoops you up in arms and twirls you around

So many happy tears

Instantly tells everyone possible he’s gonna be a dad

That might is now his favorite mug- but he refuses to use it until the baby is born

Those chores that you split? He is now taking on all of them so you can focus on the baby

Likes to speak to the egg, honestly he’s so sweet with it

Definitely plays brozone through headphones around the egg (“John what are you doing?” “I want them to have good taste”)

Clay

He gave up his admin house for you

Y’all still live in Putt Putt village (because I say so)

Viva moves to Pop village so he goes from co runner to leader

So y’all get her room/house

Being married to Clay is so chill

He’s so sweet and literally talks about you non stop even though more often that not you’re with him whilst he’s working

He found out about the pregnancy when you gave him a mini matching green sweater romper

He was like

“Thanks! Not sure if it’ll fit me but I love it anyway!”

It takes him a moment

He leaves the room then runs back in pointing at you like he’s in law and order

“YOURE PREGNANT?!?”

You are now on permanent bed rest

Likes to baby talk to the egg and sing it songs

Buys the new furniture immediately and then starts baby proofing the house

He’s determined to give this kid the best childhood

Bruce

When he marries you, that’s when he decides to change his name to Bruce

Y’all still open the restaurant on Vaycay island

You become the cutest couple on the island so fast

BEACH WEDDING

He definitely tears up whilst reading his vows

“Oh I’m crying…” *you pass him a q-tip* “what’s a q-tip gonna do?!”

Treats you like a queen

Another malewife vibe haver

But it’s not as strong

Y’all were already planning on having a big family

So when you tell him you’re having twins by making dinner, but putting two lil high chairs by the door

He sees them

And goes WILD

“What- is that? Does that mean? TWINS?!?!”

He’s so happy, so many happy tears whilst y’all hug

“Uh- honey? Who’s watching the stove?” “Oh shit…”

Floyd

Dedicated husband fr fR

Has photos of you everywhere

Gets drunk and gets so happy when you tell him you’re his wife not his girlfriend

“THis IS myY WiFE”

Everyone knows don’t worry

Always talked about having kids but didn’t plan for it

Well he did (but only in his lil dreams)

Then one day you made his dreams come true

He got home from hanging out with Branch

(Who you’d asked to keep him distracted)

And he comes home to a really big home cooked meal

And a decorated boiled egg

He goes to eat said egg- but you tell him to break it open

“Why?” “It’s a surprise hun- I’m not supposed to tell you”

Inside is a lil parenting book called ‘daddy and I’

Silence, smile on his face

Tears rolling down his face before he stands up and walked over to you putting the book down on the table

Wraps you up in a such a soft hug that you start crying too

Peppers kisses all over your face

“You really do make my dreams come true”

Doesn’t tell his brothers immediately- wants you to himself

Makes sure you’re careful with doing everything

Just likes to lie down on the bed with you and the egg and put his hand softly on the surface (he cries a lil bit everytime)

When he eventually tells people- it’s completely by accident

Calcinidae Bay Lot Tour: the Public Schools

Let's take a closer look at a few of Calcinidae Bay's community lots - its public schooling! This screenshot is actually three lots, with two lots overlapped using the Lot Adjuster. On the left is the high school, on the right is the primary school, and between them is a shared gymnasium and a semi-public oval (sports field).

More pics & CC-free decorating ideas below!

As always, these lots are based on shell challenges. The high school and primary school are actually shells that were made for me by @hugelunatic as stocking stuffers back in 2022 (I didn't forget about them!) The shell from the gym/oval lot is actually the smaller canteen building, with the gymnasium being auxiliary (because it had to be such a specific size/shape), and that shell is a 4T2 adaptation of LilSimsie's "Yeehaw" Shell Challenge that I grabbed off the gallery.

Starting with the high school:

If you peeked at the original shell, you'll see there was a two-storey 1x1 "column "room" in the middle of the lot, which made me think of a bell/clock tower and inspired me to use these shells for schools. Normally when I adapt a TS4 shell challenge to TS2 I choose the placement & orientation on the lot, but because these lots were made natively in TS2 I decided to keep the lot size & distribution as they were. This gave me a lot of additional space around the main building that was perfect for adding extra amenities like a library.

The ground floor of the high school has an administration area, lockers, mixed bathroom, sick bay, staff room, and two general-use classrooms that can each fit six students.

The teacher's lounge/staff room, and a small display/awards case. I needed something to do with that little triangular pocket, and now it's one of my favourite features. :)

Upstairs is two specialised classrooms - a moderate science lab and an arts room. I would have liked at least a home ec classroom as well, but I guess that'll be reserved for the eventual private school.

The canteen (cafeteria) is a separate demountable building with outdoor seating, some of it under a shade cloth. The library is also a separate building with a small computer bay and a group study area.

Moving on to the primary school, a much older and smaller building with some minor remodeling so the two schools look cohesive:

The inspiration for my gameplay/lots is a mish-mash of different cultural influences, but I play my schools like the standard Australian system; kids start in reception (about age 5) and attend primary school all the way through to year 6 or 7, then go to high school from year 6/7 through to year 12. Separate middle schools are much less common, and this matches with how the game itself handles kid vs. teen education.

I design my lots kind of "representationally", to get the best balance between realism and playability. While I enjoy including some details that don't provide actual gameplay, I don't want to build enormous, cumbersome lots just to achieve a 1:1 scale when my Sims will never actually need that much space. Plus, most shell challenges tend to be smaller, which I like. Hence why this school has only two classrooms, one for junior primary and a more structured classroom for upper primary.

There is a small admin area downstairs. Upstairs is the sick bay and a modest teacher's lounge/staff room.

The primary school doesn't have its own library, but it does have a small separate building that we in Australia would call OSHC - Out of School Hours Care. It's a service parents can book to drop their children off before school starts, or arrange for them to attend after school finishes until they can pick them up. They provide snacks and some edu-tainment activities. Lots of kids also attend OSHC over school holidays.

The primary school canteen/cafeteria is also a separate building. Both school canteens use the University cafeteria stove, so with the right mod students will be able to grab food there. In addition to an outdoor eating area and a small playground, there is a little produce patch between the two buildings where students are taught about horticulture.

And finally, the lot that joins the two schools, the shared gymnasium and Calcinidae Oval.

The canteen/cafeteria itself would generally not be open during school hours. Instead, the school and/or local council would operate it for profit or hire it out to a third party when the oval was being used for local sports teams and other events on weekends, holidays, and after school hours. Right now it's set up for just such a soccer match.

The inside of the "tuckshop". There is a bathroom on the bottom floor accessible from the outside of the building, while the top floor has two changing rooms for students or local teams.

The gymnasium also serves as an assembly hall for students of both schools. I think the teachers would either have a collapsible stage at the far end of the court, or just stand up in the commentator's booth to give the announcements. Underneath the commentator's booth is the equipment storage shed where many a teen couple has probably sneaked off to make out.

The back view of the tuckshop and the carpark shows how this lot overlaps with the primary school. The existing primary school is blocked from Sims walking through it by a combination of real fences and this hidden CC-free invisible fence.

And that's it for this tour! I'm pretty happy with how these lots look, how I utilised the shells, and how they all fit together in the neighbourhood. I want to have more lots overlapping and slotting together like this to give Calcinidae Bay a more seamless, open feel, like the hood really is connected.

I'll finish this post with some floorplans - if you read all this you're a champ, I hope it gave you some ideas for your own game, and I'd love to know what you think!

[lookinghalfacorpse]

i think i remember your pandora symptoms fic was in general, canon compliant to ITWALL and tbh i have been curious, has phil ever been "sucked in" into one of dreams nightmares like techno was?? (if the "dreamon chapter is even canon to itwall of course lol)

i forgot about this headcanon! i imagined it as a part of his admin powers that he hasn't mastered yet-- a way to communicate quickly with the players on his server. i think philza would recognize it.

----------

/dsmp /rp

Dream dropped himself into the kitchen chair, letting it creak loudly under his weight. Phil didn't even know he was awake already.

The arctic had settled into a slow, soft routine; Philza was usually first to wake, and he'd start breakfast as Dream and Technoblade joined him at their own pace. This morning, he had deep pockets of purple under his eyes and he seemed unable to hold himself up. His head drifted into his hands as he sat at the time. His hair was a mess.

Philza chuckled at him. The old man hadn't slept too well, either, but he was chipper as always as he tried to make food quickly. He put a kettle on the stove to get Dream's tea started. "Mornin', mate," he said, "I guess Techno really wore you out yesterday, yeah?"

"Mm."

"I'm surprised you didn't sleep in more."

"Couldn't sleep," Dream said as he rubbed a hand groggily across his face. "I'm so sore. I don't wanna look at firewood ever again."

"Ah, nothing a warm bath and some pain meds can't fix. You must've pushed yourself too hard."

Phil continued with breakfast. He opted for bagels that morning-- it was quick and easy, and made up for lost time since he was moving slowly. He also had apples on the stove for some homemade applesauce, and it made the whole cabin smell absolutely lovely. He mixed them occasionally, checked on the bagels, and peaked over his shoulder at Dream. The poor boy was nearly falling asleep again.

He jumped when the kettle started to whistle. Phil prepared an English Breakfast tea for him in his favorite mug, with milk and sugar.

"Thanks," Dream croaked, his thin fingers wrapping around the mug, cradling it delicately in both hands. Phil watched as he raised it to his face, sniffed at the air, and moved his hair aside so he could blow cool air on the surface.

"You didn't tell me that Sam poisoned you," Philza said.

Dream froze, green eyes darting to Phil's face.

"How did you know that?"

Phil turned his attention back to the apples, turning his back. "I had an odd dream last night."

Dream put the mug down, his back straightening. "Tell me what you saw."

"A part of the prison I didn't recognize, with chairs. I saw scraps of food on a table-- all potatoes, I think, but maybe not-- and I heard Sam asking questions. About Tommy. But I-- you-- felt so sick, the room was spinning. Could barely understand the questions at all. Dream, I asked you if Quackity did all of the damage, and you said yes." "And I didn't lie. Sam didn't-- Sam didn't hurt me. Not really. None of these scars are from him." Before Philza could voice a protest, Dream continued, "Listen, I-- I'm sorry. I don't know why I keep doing this. I did it to Techno, too, I-- sometimes I can control dreams on purpose, but more often I just... force people to witness random things that I don't even want them to see. I'm really sorry, Phil. I'll try to stop."

"No, no," Phil started, "I think this explains a lot. I've seen something like this before." "You have?"

"Mm-hmm. You projected a memory to me. If you can harness this, I think you'd be able to communicate to people even when they're awake. Sounds convenient, yeah?"

A way to communicate privately. Dream liked the idea.

Phil continued, "I'm angry about what I saw, don't get me wrong. Pissed off, really. But I'm glad to have discovered this. We can work on it."

Dream ran his fingertips along the handle of the mug. The glaze was smooth and cold, and it fit inside his palms neatly. He saw Phil watching him, waiting to find out if he would drink.

He drank.

Im straight up doomsday prepping for this next admin lmao which i know is a coping mechanism and im sure i'll look back and find it all very quaint and probably curse myself for not leaving the country while i had the chance BUT:

got my parents roof replaced

Bought a portable solar generator (expensive MERRY XMAS FAMILY)

Got some water filters and a rain barrel

Bulk ordered like 7 types of indian lentils/chickpeas. The bulk of our legumes actually comes from canada :/

Camp stove just in case

Look im not trying to do a rugged zombie survivor thing but all signs are pointing to a lack of resources should we experience any interruptions of service, natural disaster, etc. Obvi i've also gotten all our papers squared away and located birth certificates and passports, and i also liquidated some money so we have cash on-hand. This is the first time i've felt the need to prepare like this but i at least feel better now about having our immediate needs met should anything happen.

[just-anka]

Our new home! Wah a lot has happened over the past few months and I'm only just starting to process it all. We knew all along that we were leaving Zurich after I finished my PhD, and vague plans to move to the mountains have been around for years. In early 2023, we started talking about it more seriously and soon realised living IN the mountains (rather than in a town in the valley at the bottom of the mountains haha) would involve buying a house because there aren't really any rentals in the villages around here. We spent a lot of time that winter looking at different places to find areas we liked, and then a lot of time in the summer viewing houses and figuring it all out. We decided on a house in late August, thinking there would be plenty of time to get it all through before the end of the year, that I would defend and then we'd move. As usual, that didn't go to plan and instead we found ourselves driving the 3.5 hours to Valais to sign for the house 4 days before my defence 🤦‍♀️ not ideal and all the uncertainty around the buying and the move combined with the defence stress over all those months really did me in, I'm still exhausted now even though the pace of life has gone from 100 to 0 (okay maybe more like a 10 but still) in the past few weeks. And the house is definitely not without issues 🤣 some of which we knew about, some we didn't, so the actual move in process has also been more exhausting than anticipated. There's also a ridiculous amount of admin involved in moving canton in Switzerland, it's almost like moving to a new country, especially as foreigners. But we survived the first bits, we moved in properly in the days after Christmas, and it's all slowly coming together now, and I love it SO much already. It's so quiet and peaceful, there's a little forest right outside our balcony that has deer walking through it almost every day, they come up all the way to the front door sometimes. Skiing is 10 mins away. It's been pretty cold as we're still figuring out the heating but we have a wood stove and it's so cosy. I love walking down the stairs in the morning in my warm jumper and making tea and meditating and journalling, all the while looking out at the mountains. I'm so burnt out from the end of the PhD and the entire past year it's been hard to take it all in, and it doesn't feel real yet most of the time. But when it does I feel so lucky. And I have a lot of time now, because I'm finally taking that gap year I've been saying for years I will take haha. It won't be an entire year, probably, but it will be a few months at least. Lots of skiing for now and some time to write, finally, getting settled into the house, and then some travelling.

i need to get my thoughts out there just stay with me

insane amount of sister location headcanons incoming!

the sister location animatronic cast is one massive extremely dysfunctional family

first of all, fuck ennard, this is pre michael's appearance, so he doesn't exist yet <3

ballora is the overall mother figure (i wonder fucking why) and the oldest and most calm, acting as the peacekeeper and trying to keep the rest of the cast calm enough to get shocked to help and back

baby is the little sister (mindblowing!), following ballora around like a little duckling, and is The Main Character (out of the cast, she has the most emo depression moments because she's the only one properly possessed) she's actually pretty shy and skittish at first, but opens up pretty quickly once you crack her shell

the bidybabs and minireenas have the comprehension capacity of literal toddlers, and waddle around all day, being feral creations that will follow anyone's command if they reward them with cuddles afterwards.

now. my favorite demons. the funtimes, the bons, and lolbit.

first of all, funtime foxy and funtime freddy are dating (funtime frexy for life, i can and will die on this hill), my favorite gay man ship ever. ft. foxy and lolbit are.. cousins? nobody knows what exactly they are, but they're similar enough to be directly related, so they roll with it. bonbon and bonnet have some complicated, old couple drama, and are constantly bickering, much to the annoyance and amusement of the rest of the cast. bonbon and ft. freddy are friends till the end, though, they are each other's ride or die (same with ft. foxy and lolbit)

lolbit is also the fucking psycho prankster. being a non-performing character, and having complete access to the location's networks, he has every opportunity ever to cause chaos. he likes to mess with the night guard, for one, but his favorite thing to do is to ruin ft. foxy's performances by changing the light and overall show cues completely, and instead of playing whatever music or audio that should be on, blasts rick rolls. this went on for a solid multiple months until management finally figured out the problem, and poor lolbit lost his overpowered admin access, leaving him very sad and helpless against the oncoming revenge by ft. foxy.

ballora, baby, the minireenas and bidybabs, bonnet, and ft. foxy have killer girls' nights where they give each other 'makeovers' (they're robots, there's not much they can do besides try and apply shitty makeup) and play a poor mockery of dress up with old night guard outfits, and talk trash about the night guards and the other animatronics, along with starting their Evil Plotting (i lied, that's all you get of ennard)

ft. freddy, ft. foxy, lolbit, and bonbon have the equivalent of middle school boy sleepovers on steroids. they steal workers' phones to try and record tiktoks like they've seen "the modern youth" (- lolbit) do, and cause overall destruction to the location. they just do the stupid stuff you'd think of when you hear the saying "girls live longer than men for a reason," because they're accidentally setting stoves on fire and struggling to operate the fire extinguisher, and at one point, lolbit accidentally turned every single light in the entire building into a non-stop strobe light for a solid two hours, until the system had to be restarted (thanks, handunit.)

yeah they're all deranged and silly and totally not killer machines at all thank you for coming to my ted talk

[leggerefiore]

You, Cyrus's lover, get taken to Hisui by a certain deity. Cyrus doesn't handle it the best.

cw: angst with comfort at the end, a little jokey,

pairing: Cyrus/Reader

🌌🛰☄️🌌🛰☄️🌌🛰☄️

Cyrus was mortified when you fell out of a portal atop Spear Pillar.

You had gone missing suddenly one evening after he got home from his job. Everything seemed completely normal. The television blared some late evening talk show while a soup simmered languidly on the stove. At first, he wondered if you simply stepped out to grab something from a convenience store, but your shoes were still at the entrance. He called out your name while carefully looking through the small apartment.

You were nowhere to be seen.

Calling your phone resulted in it instantly going to a voice mail. Cyrus felt alarmed. He hated that his first instinct was to call Cynthia. The blonde immediately answered, as he rarely if ever contacted her. She was just as disturbed by the situation. A call was made to the local police, yet since nothing seemed life-threatening or dangerous, they declared off the search and said to call a few days later if you had not returned still.

It was a slow form of torment on his mind.

He felt dreadfully alone in this world he already despised. With the failure of his earlier plans at the hand of a certain trainer, he had felt himself lost. You, despite how upset you were after learning what he had actually been doing, stayed by his side. It was thanks to your kindness and love that he felt somewhat able to come to terms with everything.

He still wished to create his ideal world that lacked spirit that corrupted this world to its incomplete form, but he simply lacked the means to do anything with the champion of the region now watching him like a hawk after getting him out of Interpol's cross-hairs. Cynthia clearly cared for him, too, which disturbed him greatly. Where had all these people who seemed to worry over him come from? Even his admins had joined in.

His emptiness returned as he found himself in a bland routine that blended together. The police never did search for you, and the one organised by Cynthia had turned up nothing. It was as if you just vanished into the ether while making dinner. Cyrus was easily falling into his asocial tendencies once more.

The rejection from his parent's had hurt him irreparably, but your vanishing had broken him. Nothing anyone tried could free him from the darkness that had consumed him once again. He found himself buried away in ways to continue from which his plans once failed. His previous admins and grunts would certainly join him once more, many utterly infatuated with him still.

That was when he noticed an ancient document written by one “Volo.”

It was dragged him back into his madness once more. The precipice of his new world lied at where he once failed previous.

All he needed were eighteen plates.

Which is what brought him to Spear Pillar once more; where you proceeded to be spit out of the sky to land before him.

You gazed at him, wearing clothes much different from those of the modern day, with wooden pokeballs spilling from your bag. Cyrus would admit he gasped. Your eyes met, and you were quick on your feet, shouting his name excitedly.

Then, you froze.

His old Galactic uniform adorned his body and the old plates carefully laid out around him.

You closed your eyes, obviously uncertain of how to proceed. Cyrus sighed. There was no getting around it. Suddenly, you turned your head up to the still open portal and tossed out one of your wooden pokeballs.

Cyrus stood frozen when a giant pokemon came out with a cry that could only be described as unearthly. The portal swelled and spun, and you turned your head to him.

“... Cyrus, were you planning on trying to use Arceus to finish your plans?” you asked. He solemnly nodded, at a loss for words due to everything. The portal soon brought out another person. They landed on the ground much more elegantly than you had. For a moment, he was confused before the dust settled, and he saw them.

Fear coursed through his body.

Light blue hair and a stern expression were two things he first noticed, but a sword and familiar insignia soon followed. She stood up from her knelt landing position. Her eyes landed on you before shifting to him. There was obviously a similar epiphany going on inside her head to compliment the one he was having.

“Cyllene,” your voice called out to the woman, who turned her attention back to you, “This is Cyrus, your descendant.” Both of them froze. It had occurred to him, but obviously, it seemed impossible. She stood stiffly before turning back to him. “He's trying to do what Volo did,” you continued. Her facial expression shifted from curiosity to a familiar, harsh expression.

“I see,” she said, language much more dated than how you spoke, “I had hoped that the Galaxy Team had flourished well into the modern day, and you were showing me what a wonderful future awaited me.” An ominous feeling crept over him as she walked with a trained stride. “Cyrus, was it? I had thought my subordinate strange when they claimed to be in love with my descendant,” she may have been shorter than him, but her authority rang higher than his, “Do you know the trouble I suffered through to stop the exact scenario you are trying to enact from happening?” Cyrus stood stiffly.

The plates were soon given to rest in your care.

Cyllene was returned back to the era of Hisui while Cyrus could only stand there like a child scolded by their mother.

In a way… That was what happened, you supposed. At least Cyllene gave him a hug before her departure and demanded that he follow a better path.

Cyrus would not stop looking at you in existential dread for a while after, alas.

He was happy that you had returned in the end, however. Enough to intiate a hug, even.

[imagine-knb]

The chores ask was so much fun lmaooooo. How about minor household things that grates at gom+nijimura+kagami? Like leaving food uncovered in the fridge, not putting away slippers properly, etc. Mine is people not finishing up the tiny bit of food and leaving it for other people to deal with it because you technically didn't finish it 🙄

This really got me in my domestic feels for these bois 🥴 Admin Neon

Kuroko — leaving food scraps out

not only does it sometimes result in ants invading his home, but it's also very dangerous for his dog

the one time somebody left food scraps out on the table and Nigou got to it, it had cost him a very expensive vet bill just to make sure his dog wasn't poisoned; the person at fault paid, of course

Kagami — not wiping down the stove after cooking

he prides himself in having a rather clean kitchen, so when someone (Riko) comes over and makes a complete mess of his stovetop without thinking to clean it, he's livid

it's the one place he keeps pristine and spotless and he will ban anyone from his kitchen if they don't bother cleaning up

Kise — leaving opened packages/boxes around the house

his family gets a lot of mail, as such, there's always an empty, open box lying around somewhere for him to trip over

he complains about the towers of boxes constantly, saying they should be broken down for the recycling, but really, he's the worst offender for this behavior

Aomine — leaving hair on the shower wall/drain

his mom is guilty of this, Momoi (on the rare ocassions she sleeps over) is guilty of this, and he's pretty sure all long haired people are guilty of this

he finds it so gross, especially when the hair being pulled out of the drain has stuff clinging to it

Midorima — leaving food scraps in the sink

similar to his distaste for washing dishes, he hates when people leave food scraps, fruit/vegetable peels, or really anything organic in the sink

thinks cleaning the sink trap of all the mushy food and gunk is so disgusting; he always gags

Murasakibara — leaving snacks improperly sealed

he spends a lot of money on the treats he buys, so if he's willing to share with you, he expects you to properly take care of the container if you don't finish the snack

the worst feeling in the world for him is eating from an already open bag of chips and everything is stale

Akashi — not using a coaster

a lot of the furniture in his home was originally handpicked and bought for his mother, so they hold a lot of sentimental value for him

he will absolutely give you a dirty look if you set down a wet glass on the wooden table without using a coaster

Nijimura — leaving dirty dishes in the sink all day

he's the type of person to clean his dishes immediately after he's done using them, so he hates when he sees someone else's dishes sitting there

he will refuse to do anyone else's dishes if this happens, which only makes it worse because now it's sitting there longer

[blacklegsanjiii]

Admin most beloved you cannot just drop that you’ve got an idea for tragic acesan in mind for the Oisín au and not elaborate . I’m so deeply curious now … can we know what you’ve got cooking on the stove even if it doesn’t end up necessarily “canon” to the AU due to the poll

- Wine

Wine, it's only me on this blog. I am HERE to absolutely destroy and it's tragic but not in the way you think. Also I had this typed and ready on milanote go me.

It'd really suck for Mihawk in Oisin!Sanji to stare at Ace up on the execution platform and just see the the swirling blue he knows belongs to his son on the arm of the man about to die. A man he's been enlisted to ensure the execution of goes swiftly and easily. He's hoping he's wrong of course, maybe he's just not close enough to see the finer details but he knows in his gut he's wrong. He's seriously debating on turning on the government when that clown guy Shanks talked about when they were younger is in front of him and Mihawk can't cut him. Both because of his fruit and he splits apart faster than Mihawk can swing so if he can just focus on this instead of fighting Vista or someone maybe it'll be fine?

Nope Vista is coming at him and calling him a fraud. The clown is gone. Fuck. Vista notices Mihawk's not really trying, he's acting it but he's not. When Vista cocks a brow Mihawk just says 'they're soulmates' and Vista is confused for all of twenty seconds before he nods with a grin and shoves Mihawk off to fight someone else.

Then Ace is free and trying running with Luffy. Right, Luffy said something earlier and it was a shock. What was it? Mihawk's been too focused on the blue going up Ace's arm, alright? He's busy! Then Whitebeard goes down and Ace is turning to fight. Akainu is going after Luffy, his son's captain and Mihawk is moving before he can think and Akainu's arm is gone as Ace is infront of his brother and Akainu's hand is on the ground, Ace's back burnt to hell and Mihawk thinks he can see his spine and well.

Mihawk had a promise to his soulmate after all. So he's staring at the Admiral who's cursing and glaring at him as Luffy lets out a massive wave of haki and most fall. Jinbei has already taken the boys and ran at some point, another yell of pain as Akainu loses his other hand and there's another yell of pain. Mihawk's attention failing him at the moment as more haki invades the war and he stumbles. Akainu is taken away as Shanks announces the end of the war. Mihawk walks away towards the red head and follows him and the clown onto a stolen navy ship.

Shanks is poking him and asking what's going on in that head of his when he comes back around and swats at the man. Shanks just laughs at him and says he's never seen him like that before and Mihawk says that Ace is his son's soulmate. Shanks just stares at him as Buggy looks at him with puzzlement and says he thought the kid died when the posters stopped updating. Mihawk explains that was around the time he took the title therefore he made a deal with the government that he would become a warlord if they stopped updating his son's bounty. Not that it matters much now seeing as what he's done to Akainu.

Mihawk is just genuinely worried that his son will end up like him. He's exhausted too. He can imagine Oisín's soulmark flickering in and out of color or just fading and he's not happy with that image in his head. He just doesn't know and can't know, and that's the worst part.

Control. It's all about conflict.

Happy Nice Ask Week! My question for everyone is: What’s your favorite meal to make OR what’s one thing you’d like to learn how to make in 2024?

you know, I used to really love cooking and spending Sunday afternoons with something delicious bubbling away on the stove. I've lost my cooking mojo of late though something something two kids, work, life admin, trying to do and be all the things

ANYWAY, when I used to cook a lot, I loved making Bill Granger's (RIP) coq au vin (served with sourdough and buttered green beans), or pork carnitas (with home made flour tortillas and a bunch of sides) or just a really great bolognese. And baking, oh my god, I loved to bake - all kinds of cakes, brownies, cinnamon rolls. I used to try new recipes all the time. These days I generally only bake my kids' birthday cakes and supervise my eldest kiddo if she decides she wants to bake something.

I think instead of learning to make something new in 2024, I want to try and rediscover my love of cooking and baking again.

"With blue being him and green being You, I actually do wonder this myself because managing a stove is pretty easy, so why not just answer him in more or less both cases of it being difficult for you, or of it being easy for you? If you don't want posts like this, don't put your dirty laundry on the internet.

People who want others to look at them positively aren't going to do that when you post private texts between you and someone else where you. checks notes

Refuse to create a joint bank account as a married couple, or just simply answer questions that get presented to you… by the one you Chose to Marry.

Considering his apparent standards in this post as well, it seems he was actually patient due to never bringing up his stance on yuri prior to seeming to be fully done with you. Usually when people are determined "We're done" they will literally dump every tiny reason onto the table so as to make it irreversible for themselves and to create no true way back to guarantee a way forward is created.

So Froot. Why can't you manage a stove but 200 layers on a canvas is fine?

Also yes, I didn't read your written paragraphs because if you can't paint the same picture with the photographic evidence of what is some random bullshit I shouldn't be able to visibly access without doing something worth extradition over, then it's pretty obvious you are lying out your ass, and low and behold, you are.

He stopped expressing himself with you because he wanted you to leave him alone, it's the downside of including the timestamps rofl. I can literally tell he was just done at the point of those screens at the top because you can scroll down not even ten pages and literally see essays from him.

The amount of "this is necessary" of this is so astronomically negative that honestly this has killed VShojo for me, considering how every member of it has expressed support for this.

You people are creators 500x bigger and probably 10000x more successful than me for fuck sake and you're doing this? If you need a hugbox (which I can understand the need for) it's not any part of Twitter, it's a group chat with your fellow genmates for crying out loud.

Like for christ sake my girl, why do you even feel the need to reveal this at all? Do you think people will feel bad for you and look at your stuff more? Because they won't.

You cannot build a real audience who could also double as clients to a degree off the back of pity partying no matter how real or fake the event in question was. If I mentioned the same stuff but it was real, nobody would look at my art more because of it. People didn't look at my art more when I was about to go homeless and needed the comms money.

I honestly wonder how the admin of VShojo feel about this, because I genuinely will be done if they're fine having someone so genuinely honorless and disrespectful to someone they Married in their employ and representing their brand. Speaking purely from a professional standpoint, this kind of thing is a PR black hole and can never be anything else considering there was no evidence of any wrongdoing done against you. A brand that has this associated with them will never last, it's the kind of thing that stays under wraps and the usually creator themselves leaves to leak it themselves if it's legitimate, considering talent agencies have Managers that the Talent essentially uses like someone form AA would use a Sponsor, or someone else would use a Mentor or a Master in an apprentice Master relationship.

It's evident that it's not real because A. if it was, you'd take it to the cops, he might not be black so the UK would love to prosecute, B. if it was, you'd take it to your manager and the answer would not have been "Leak private communications and make a really bad attempt to slander him" because like… girl for real? You didn't even try to edit the screenshots, just chopped out important context chunks in places to the point that some pages are half empty and you couldn't even be bothered to combine the screenshots so they all created a uniform length so you could… idk, not have 90 pages in a document most people will never read let alone scroll through and will only opt to parrot the people autistic enough to do so themselves. I've combined screenshots better.

If he assaulted you, where are the hospital reports of battery injuries alongside proof his DNA was found near them?

Delete the post until you get real evidence that justifies wasting your audience's time with something that isn't part of your proudly displayed purpose of Content Creator for Vshojo or your still proudly displayed purpose of Artist. On behalf of all artists who want to see people create than flinging shit, I am literally begging you.

Until I see real evidence, this is Ego farming and as a result you need to get over yourself.

Sincerely, a fellow Creator who is sick and tired of watching creators try and destroy instead of create, considering this literally accomplishes nothing.

I haven't shared my abuse trauma stories, and I never will because nothing productive will happen when everyone knows my scars."

In the morning, I left my room to see Shouta sitting at the dining table without a shirt on and drinking coffee, I immediately felt my heartbeat increase and something drop in my lower stomach. Shouta’s eyes immediately looked up to me when he saw that I had exited the room. “Good morning, Bryant. Did you sleep well after last night?” He asked and leaned back in the chair he was seated in. Hizashi had been busy at the stove and gently slapped at his mate. “Put a shirt on before you make the poor girl pass out. I told you to do that before she woke up.” Hizashi said.

Shouta chuckled and stood up, pulling a random shirt from off the back of a chair and pulled it over his head before going over to Hizashi and kissing him on the cheek. I rubbed my eyes and sat down at the table, I glanced down at Shouta’s bandaged leg and realized he didn’t go to Recovery girl like normal. I also wasn’t fully aware as to how strong my scent was because I was used to wearing scent patches all the time and sometimes even sleeping in them. Shouta was whispering something to his partner as he was making me a cup of hot coffee. He walked back over to the table and set the cup of steaming hot liquid in front of me and sat back down across from me.

“Are you okay?” He asked. “Not awake yet.” I responded and pulled the coffee closer to me and took a sip of the energizing liquid. Shouta nodded and rested his head on his arms as he watched me drink my coffee.

Once my coffee was gone, I set the mug down and he lifted his head. “About last night…” He started and I raised my hand. “If you’re worried about me leaking your secret to anyone who asks, don’t stress it. Its apart of my job as your Admin to keep any and every aspect of your life that you wish to keep private, just that; private. No one else is going to know that you’re a werewolf. If someone tries to pull something to get you fired as a pro hero or teacher, or both, I will do my best and try my hardest to defend you. Same goes for you, Hizashi.” I spoke and looked to him. Hizashi nodded and stirred something in a pan. Shouta looked to me as he was drinking his coffee.

“What I was going to say, is about last night, I’d like to thank you for not being afraid of me when I was in that form.” “You’re welcome. I know a little bit about werewolves. Like how they will remember everything that happened when in their wolf form. For example, the kiss you gave me when Hizashi was stitching up your leg. How’s it doing by the way? Also why didn’t you go to Recovery Girl this morning before I woke up?” I asked as I refilled my mug and drank more of the hot liquid.

“I haven’t gone to see her yet because the wound isn’t that bad. I’ll be healed up sooner than you think.” He spoke and finished his coffee. I nodded and finished my second mug of coffee before looking over to Hizashi. “What would you like for breakfast? You can have whatever you’d like.” He spoke and I looked up at him quizzically. “May I have some leftovers from last night? That sounds good to me.” “Of course. Theres chicken tenders and mac and cheese. Is there anything else you’d like with that?” He asked and I shook my head no. “I’d just like the chicken tenders and mac and cheese today. I’m feeling a bit nauseous and that’s the only thing that sounds good right now.” I told him. “Alright. I’ll have it ready for you in a few minutes.” He spoke and slithered over to the fridge to get the leftovers out. I flicked my eyes down to inspect the pattern of the wood that the table was made from as I could feel the gaze of Shouta staring right into me. I could feel my cheeks flush up as his gaze seemed to envelop me and build a form of tension build between us. That tension was broken though when Hizashi arrived with the food and placed the plates of food in front of us before he went back and got his own food and joined us at the table. He sat next to his husband who was sitting across from me and we began to eat. After a few bites, Shouta looked to me with his dark eyes and spoke. “How do you normally get through your heats?” He asked gently. “I normally take care of them alone… I’ve had one too many Alphas take advantage of me in that state that I learned to care for them alone.” I told him as I shifted the food on my plate and took a bite. Shouta looked to Hizashi and then back at me. “We would like to bond with you… if you’ll let us and you want us to.” He spoke.

“I’m not entirely sure you want me for the right reasons. I’ve done my research on the two of you. I’ve learned that the two of you were going to form a pack with an ‘Oboro Shirakumo’. But he died when the two of you were will attending U.A. as students. Something else happened to you that you’re not sure if you can have children of your own so you’re looking for a surrogate and I just so happened to fall into your lives.” I spoke bluntly and looked up at them. Shouta looked angry and lightly offended while Hizashi looked a little shocked. “First off, we want you for reasons not associated with Oboro and his tragic death. Second of all, why do you think we can’t have kids? Hizashi and I have tried before and we lost a child right after she hatched because of complications that occurred in incubation.” Shouta spoke as tears formed in his eyes and Hizashi had gripped his arms. I gripped my spoon before I took another bite of my meal. “I am sorry that the two of you went through so much before I arrived. I now know you want me or other reasons than what I presumed but I still think I can’t bear the two of you a clutch with all the stress and baggage I have on my shoulders.” I told them and kept eating.

“We understand that. We still want you even if you can’t bear us a clutch. Maybe if you tell us what’s bothering you; maybe we can try to help.” Hizashi spoke as he reached across the table and held my hand. My free hand shook with the utensil still in it and I set the spoon down and placed my hand firmly on the table as the horrible memories that I thought I had locked away forever came creeping back like a sick infection. “Not now, I’d like to eat please.” I spoke as I felt a sense of overwhelming stimulation growing over my mind. They backed off from the questions and we continued to eat in silence until I finished my food and let myself calm down a bit. I looked up to see a silent exchange between the two men as we all ate. I finished my food and pushed my bowl away when I felt a sense of uneasiness settle under my skin. “May I be excused?” I asked as I kept my eyes to the surface of the table. They both looked at me when I spoke. “You don’t have to ask us if you can get up and leave the table.” I heard Shouta tell me. “Do you want our help with anything?” Hizashi asked as I stood up and held my bowl in my hands. “I’ll be fine… Asking to leave the table is proper manners… at least that’s what I’ve been taught. Also, every Admin is expected to keep good manners.” I said and left the table. “We can help you.”  Hizashi spoke quietly as I left the table. Shouta looked at me as I left the table and put my bowl into the sink and I headed for my room.

“Bryant, we are here for each other.” Shouta told me. I heard him but I continued to my room to change into my work clothes and get ready for the day. When I left my room, I found the pair cleaning up the breakfast dishes and preparing coffee for the morning. Shouta looked over to me and he nudged Hizashi. “Hey. What do you like in your coffee? Thought I’d make you a cup before leaving to head back to the school.” Hizashi said as he pulled a plain blue travel mug down from the cupboard and set it in front of the coffee maker. “I prefer a mocha or enough creamer to cover the dirt taste of the coffee.” I told him and stood next to Shouta who was taking a long sip from his mug and staring at me. I sighed before speaking. “Alright. I know that the two of you can help me. But, I don’t know how to trust you. I’ve never chosen a good mate before.” I told them. I also had a thought in the back of my mind that the relationship we were trying to build would be ruined before it could begin even though they signed the papers yesterday.

“Hey, its alright. I know it’s hard to trust someone so quickly with things that are so sensitive like your heat and how to care for you in your heat. You can trust us and know that we’re not going to do anything that you don’t want us to.” Shouta spoke and held my hand. Hizashi finished putting food away and he walked over to the table, sitting next to me and putting his hand on my back.

“I agree with Shouta. Neither of us are going to do anything that will hurt you or make you uncomfortable.” He reassured me. I hesitated before taking his hand in mine. “The two of you aren’t getting it. The others… they said things like that then they hurt me so badly that I’m like this. They put blame on me for going into heat when they didn’t want me to be in heat and not being able to control my urges. The first one I was with… a complete monster had locked me in a closet until my heat went away! I would be sick for weeks after. He would tell me that my heat was an inconvenience when it wasn’t need and that I would be put in the closet until I was useful to him!” I cried out, finally letting myself break down in front of them, letting tears fall down my cheeks and I leaned into Hizashi’s arms. Hizashi and Shouta looked at each other then Hizashi rubbed my arm.

“Honey, its alright. We will let you guide everything. No one is going to lock you in a closet again. We are going to treat you like a queen during your heats, alright?” He told me. I nodded and he helped wipe my tears away from my face. I looked over and saw Shouta trying his hardest to keep his anger from showing on his face. His anger was probably stemming from how my previous mates treated me. He took some deep breaths and calmed himself down. He looked calmer on the outside but there was still something about him that wanted to punch someone’s face in.

“You are important to us and you will be loved and taken care of as you should be cared for on your heats, even your ruts when you get them. I know its going to be a process for you to open up and learn to trust us. We will wait and let you take all the time you need.” He told me and I relaxed in Hizashi’s grip. I nodded and looked up at them. “Where do you think we will have lunch today?” I asked.

“We can either have lunch here, in my classroom, or on the roof. Why don’t you pick today?” Shouta spoke. “Let’s have it back here.” I spoke and they agreed. “Alright, we can have lunch here.” Shouta spoke and finished up his breakfast. “I hear you about you saying that I’m important and loved by the both of you and that I’ll be taken care of. But for now, Is there more food? I’m still hungry.” I asked.

“Of course. I made sure to order more than one extra large order of mac and cheese for you to eat. Theres also a bit of chicken left over if you’d like it.” Hizashi spoke and stood up to get the food from the fridge as I let myself relax. He came back a few minutes later with a large bowl filled with mac and cheese and the leftover crumbles of the chicken tenders.

“Here you go, sweetheart.” He spoke as he slid the bowl in front of me and went off to do something in the bathroom. I thanked him and pulled the bowl closer to me and began to eat before looking to Shouta.

“I wouldn’t mind if we bonded. I know its soon, but I think it would help solidify our relationship.” I spoke. He looked up from his coffee and smiled. “I think we can do that. We have an hour and a half before we need to be at the school to prep for our classes today.” He responded as he finished his coffee and placed his mug back by the coffee maker. I held my stomach as it growled again. “I’d like to bond sooner rather than later.” I spoke as I finished my food and Shouta took my bowl and placed it in the sink to be washed later.

“Alright. We can bondnd with you whenever you’d like. Is your stomach hurting?” He asked as he noticed that I was holding my stomach. I nodded and looked up at him. “I want to bond now. I need to feel like I belong to someone or something. My stomach is only hurting because my body chose now to produce more of my aphrodisiac and it hurts bad right now because I either have too much stored up right now or I haven’t produced some in a while.” I whimpered as I pushed my coffee mug away as it still had liquid sloshing inside. Shouta walked over to my side of the table and stood next to me. “We can do that, Bryant. We should go somewhere more comfortable to bond together, alright?” He spoke and I nodded. “I’d like to nest first… am I allowed to? Or will it take up too much room?” I asked. Shouta shook his head no. “You can use as much space within the guest bedroom that you’re staying in. We would love it if you used that space to nest in.” Hizashi spoke as he poked his head out of the bathroom. I stood up slowly with one hand on my stomach as I walked back to the bathroom and closed the door before I allowed myself to nest. I began by stripping down the bed until the sheets on the mattress were the only thing on the bed. Then I laid out a thick, fluffy blanket out on the bed as a type of floor and I used the various pillows around the room to create walls then used another blanket to cover the walls and I stuffed more pillows and blankets along the walls as I created a mini fortress on the bed. I made sure to lay out enough of the suitable pillows and blankets inside of the nest to cover up with as I had a feeling I’d be crashing here for the next few nights… possibly moving in for convenience on saving time and money on travelling. It made sense since it was only a five minute walk from their cabin to the school instead of a two hour train ride both ways from Estufa station adding up to four hours round trip just to spend a few hours at a school that I would be working at during my time in this universe. I turned my mind off for a few minutes and laid out in my nest under the blankets that I laid in the middle of the nest. I began to purr for the first time in a very long time and it felt nice to be this relaxed. I stirred when I heard a knocking at the door and I sat up when I heard Hizashi and Shouta ask if they could enter my room. I allowed them to enter even though this was their house.

They came into the room and they both smiled seeing me comfortable in my nest. “It looks amazing.” Hizashi spoke as they both stood near the doorway. “Is it okay if we come closer?” Shouta asked. I looked to see that Hizashi was itching to come closer to my nest to investigate what I had made but was resisting to come closer to give me space. I didn’t notice this earlier but I was now noticing their scents. Could they have possibly had scent blockers on with their hero costumes? It didn’t matter now but I noticed that Shouta’s scent was a strong coffee scent with pine trees and a subtle campfire smell that seemed to fill the room and mingled with the citrusy lemon and orange scent of Hizashi’s smell that made my face flush bright red. “I just now picked up on your scents… and yes, you can c-come closer.” I spoke I watched as Hizashi slithered over quickly and laid on my left side as Shouta joined me on my right side. “Do you like our scents?” Hizashi asked as he looked at me. “Yes, I do. They seem comforting.” I spoke and leaned against the headboard that was against the wall as my nervousness crept up on me again as I gripped the blanket that I had over my lap. I took deep breaths and I grabbed Shouta’s hand and ran my thumb over the back of it to try and soothe myself. Shouta brought my hand up to his lips and he kissed the back of my hand gently.

“You can always say stop during this. But you need to tell us where you want us to bond-mark you.” Shouta spoke as he kissed my cheek and moved down to the tender flesh of my neck. His warm breath on my skin sending shivers down my spine, making it arch. I noticed Hizashi coiling the tip of his tail around Shouta’s ankle slowly as to not startle me. I blushed hard and let Shouta kiss me. I closed my eyes tightly until I felt something wrap around me and I looked down. I saw Hizashi’s tail and traced it back to him were his shirt and jacket covered the area where his torso and tail connected. I gently touched part of his tail that was wrapped around my torso and took a deep breath.

“He’s a naga. He’s not going to hurt you.” I spoke under my breath but they both heard it. 

“Bryant, is there something you want to say? Are you uncomfortable with me wrapping around you like this?” He asked as he began to uncoil from around me. I stopped him and shook my head no. “Keep it there. It feels nice. Like a weighted blanket. I’m just telling myself that because one of the previous ones… had black tentacles that he used on me…” I spoke and shook my head. “Its okay. I’m nothing like that other guy. I’m not going to hurt you, okay?” Hizashi spoke and kissed my cheek gently. I gave him as kiss as I felt Shouta kiss up my arm until he found the overactive scent gland on the left side of my neck. He kissed it gently and hummed to himself.

“I never thought I’d like the smell of peaches so much.” He spoke. I was fixated on the texture of Hizashi’s tail as I was listening to the Alpha and feeling him get close to my scent gland. “It’s my scent… I can’t exactly change it.” I spoke and ran my fingers over the scales of Hizashi’s tail. “I know you can’t change it. I was saying that because I like your scent. It's a good smell.” Shouta spoke and softly kissed over the scent gland. Hizashi had buried his face into my neck, taking in my scent from the other side as he enjoyed the feeling of me playing with his tail. “It is a nice smell.” Hizashi added. “Is it alright if I mark you now?” Shouta asked. I thought for a moment and nodded yes.

“I’d… like that please. I want to feel like I belong here.” I spoke and nudged Hizashi away so I could tilt my head to one side to give Shouta more room to give me his bond mark. At the same time, I managed to find the end of Hizashi’s tail and held onto it to brace myself for the momentary prick of the Alpha’s fangs on my neck. I saw in the corner of my eyes that the blond was smiling. Shouta kissed my neck again and opened his mouth, letting his fangs extend until he bit down on my neck, in the same spot that he had been leaving several kisses on beforehand. The bite wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be. The bite would have been much harder than what he was giving me now if he was giving me his mating mark but I didn’t know that yet. He held onto my neck until he drew blood and pulled away. As he did this, I gripped Hizashi’s tail as Shouta bonded himself to me. I gasped when I felt his fangs pierce my skin.

“That hurt.” I spoke after he had pulled away from my neck. He nodded and kissed my head. “I know, I’m sorry.” He whispered softly in my ear and held my hand. “It still felt good though. I told him as I was unaware of my stomach poking out from the aphrodisiac I was producing. “That’s good. I’d be concerned if it hurt badly.” Shouta told me and shot a quick glance over to Hizashi who was nuzzling into the left side of my neck. “May I mark you too?” He asked. I held onto Shouta’s hand a little more confidently now. I looked into the naga’s eyes and nodded. I paused before I let him mark me. I gently placed my free hand on his chest and held eye contact with him. “You have fangs, right? Do you eject venom out of them when you bite onto someone’s neck?” I asked. I knew he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me but I was genuinely curious as to how his creature gene worked.

“I do have fangs… and yes, I do eject a type of venom. It works like an aphrodisiac that I don’t have full control over yet.” He told me and took my hand in his.

“That’s okay. I understand. I make an aphrodisiac myself.” I reassured him and he raised an eyebrow. “You’ll have to show us this aphrodisiac of yours sometime. But for now, I’m sorry if I hurt you.” Hizashi spoke and kissed the spot on my neck where he would bond himself to me before I gripped the end of Hizashi’s tail a little too hard and he pulled away and closed his eyes for a minute. “Oh crap.” He cursed and I let go of his tail, watching it retreat to his body. I hid my hands under my arms as I felt bad for hurting him.  “I’m sorry.” I spoke, my voice trembling as I felt like I had messed up the bonding ritual. Hizashi cupped my cheek with his hand and had me look at him. “No, honey. It’s okay. My tail is just a bit sensitive and you did grip it a bit hard.” He spoke and I nodded. “I see.” I said quietly. “When I’m done, would you like to mark us too?” Hizashi asked me gently.

“I could… But I don’t know how to do it properly so my mark will last.” I told them as I remembered how the others would trick me into giving them my mating mark and use it as a bragging right to show off to their friends. “We can help you.” Shouta spoke as he held my hand. “I’m nervous to do this.” I confessed. “It will be okay, see? Shouta marked me on the left side of my neck and you can mark me on my right side, okay?” Hizashi told me and showed me the crescent moon in a circle that was his mating mark and he guided my hand up to his mark so I could touch it. “It looked like it hurt.” I told him and heard Shouta chuckle. I looked to him and saw a small line poking out from his shirt collar. “Did Hizashi mark you?” I asked as I had been told that other dynamics weren’t allowed to mark their Alpha. Shouta nodded and pushed his collar down to reveal the megaphone emitting sound in a circle on his neck.

“He did. These marks are a bit deeper than what I did for you because ours are permanent. I did a bonding mark on you.” Shouta explained. I reached over and touched his mark too before settling back in Hizashi’s coils. I tilted my head to one side and let Hizashi bite on my neck and bond with me. I panted a little as I felt a rush of what I presumed was his aphrodisiac coursing through my veins as I opened my eyes. “How do you feel? I’m sorry that I released some of my aphrodisiac into you but I couldn’t hold it back.” Hizashi asked as he looked me in the eyes. “I’m… okay. Feeling a rush.” I spoke and looked back at him in the eyes.

“Theres a different sensation between the bonding marks and mating marks. With mating marks, there’s a burning sensation right after the bite that goes away eventually and it heals up nicely and forms a type of tattoo shape that matches who your partner is. Right now, you’ll just have two rings to show that you’re bonded.” Shouta spoke and leaned over to see how I was looking after Hizashi’s bonding mark. I leaned over and touched their marks again, gently. They closed their eyes and kissed my hands before they opened their eyes and looked at me. Shouta moved a bit closer and guided my hand to the other side of his neck where he wanted me to mark him.

“I want you to mark me right here.” He spoke and held my hand against the opposite side of his neck that Hizashi’s was on. I nodded and moved closer and bit down on his neck gently where he showed me and I waited until I tasted blood and pulled away. He smiled and gripped my hand gently.

“You’re alright.” He told me and Hizashi looked at me with worry on his face.

“Are you alright?” He asked. I was stunned, staring at the still oozing wound I had left on Shouta’s neck. It closed on its own and left a simple black ring on his neck with no symbol inside the ring. “Did it work? I’m a little worried it didn’t work right. There’s no symbol inside the ring. Just a simple black ring on your neck.” I told them. Shouta chuckled. “That’s how it’s supposed to work. It’s not as deep as Hizashi’s, but it’s good for now.” He spoke and kissed my head. Hizashi nudged me and moved closer to me as I could tell that he’s feeling left out. “Can I be marked too?” He asked softly. I nodded and felt the marks that they gave me. I turned to Hizashi before looking back to Shouta. “Is it appropriate for me to mark him? He was yours first.” I spoke. Shouta gave a nod of approval.

“It’s alright, he marked you and we want to be bonded with you fully.” He spoke. I nodded and went to Hizashi’s neck and bit him gently. I pulled away when I tasted blood and I watched the black ring form on his neck. He then looked at me as I was staring at the spot on his neck for a moment too long. “It worked, thank you.” He spoke and pulled me closer. “I-I feel more whole now for some reason. I spoke and leaned back against the headboard and the wall even though I wanted to be cuddled by them both, but we needed to leave soon to head to the school. Hizashi smiled and moved closer to me as he wrapped his tail around us both and pulled us closer to him, hugging us tightly. I gave into my want for cuddles and laid my head on Shouta’s chest, cuddling into his side as well. “Thank you.” I said quietly.

“For what?” Shouta asked as Hizashi moved his upper half closer to us and laid his head on Shouta’s other side and put his hand on my back.

“Bonding with me on such short notice.” I responded. Shouta smiled and put an arm around my shoulders.

“You’re welcome. We can keep cuddling for a few minutes longer before we need to head out.” He spoke and I nodded in agreement and I realized that there was a telepathic link between the three of us and I kissed them.

“I love cuddles… I didn’t know if the two of you liked them.” I spoke. “We love cuddles. You don’t need to ask if you want to cuddle. Any time you need it, we are available.” Shouta spoke and they both held me a little tighter before we needed to be apart for the day. A few minutes passed and Shouta checked his phone before nudging both Hizashi and I gently to get off him so we could get ready on time. “We have about twenty minutes… let’s finish getting ready.” He spoke and we hesitantly got off him and went about our tasks to get ready. I had to pack a lunch and get my hair done and make sure I had all the things I needed for the day in my backpack before I went to the entryway and worked on getting my shoes on. Shouta came up next to me and pulled his boots on and stood by the door with his lunchbag and coffee in hand. “Do we wait for Hizashi or do we go without him?” I asked as I pulled my lanyard on over my head and let it hang from my neck. “I typically wait for him unless I need to get going. I have a few minutes so we can wait for him.” He spoke and waited with me as Hizashi ran around the house gathering some items before joining us at the entryway. “Okay, I have my keys, my wallet that has both of my I.D.s and other important items. I just need to put my directional loudspeaker and my shoes on, grab my coffee and lunch and we can go.” I heard Hizashi say as he put his loudspeaker on and grabbed his food and coffee before he joined us and pulled his boots on. “Ready, love?” Shouta asked and touched Hizashi’s elbow. He nodded and walked out the door with Shouta and I trailing behind him.

We arrived at the main school building and I followed them into the teacher’s office to find that there was a new desk with my name on it at one end of the rows of desks next to Hizashi’s desk. “That was fast. I didn’t think I’d get a desk this quickly.” I spoke and sat my backpack and briefcase down on the top of the desk when I saw Principal Nezu sitting in the chair and I picked my items off the desk. “Sorry. I didn’t know this desk was yours.” I spoke. “Oh, don’t worry. My desk is in my own office as I’m the principal. I was sitting here to let you know that this desk is all yours to do your work at instead of in the cafeteria or in Eraserhead’s classroom. I thought this would be more convenient for you to use in your day-to-day work.” He spoke and hopped off the chair and walked to the door of the office. “Thank you Nezu.” I said and sat down in the chair to unpack my items and get set up.  “Of course, Admin Bryant. You’re apart of our team now and I wanted to make sure you feel welcome.” He spoke then left the office.  I smiled and got myself settled and logged in to the school’s administrative network that was linked to the admin’s network as well which was nice.  Shouta went to his class to have them pick a school representative and they had picked Midoriya. I knew that this wouldn’t last the day because of some important variables down the line.

When the office was mostly empty except for Present Mic, Eraserhead, and I, I took this chance to go through the variables for today, I found one set that was flagged as important and crucial to the timeline so I began to check them over when an alarm sounded overhead and the two heroes stood up quickly and ran down the hallways to the entrance next to the front gate that had been overrun with press and media and the front gate seemed to be crumbled as if it had been decayed. I followed them and stood in front of them to hold back the media people. “Who are you? We want a word with All Might!” One of the news people asked when they saw me.  “You shouldn’t be here. This is a private school campus. All Might isn’t on campus today.  Please leave.” I said in a firm and steady tone. “Not until we get a scoop from the teachers. What about these two behind you ma’am?” The reporter asked and shoved their microphone into my face which I politely pushed away. “Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, you will be getting no scoops on anything from any of the teachers or myself today. Please exit the campus before we must call the police.” I said and used my hands to gesture for them to back off and not crowd over each other. “We could punch them since they’re technically trespassing which makes them villains.” “If you do that, they will drag your name through the dirt. Do you want that?” I heard the two men say behind me. I turned my head to look at them. “Neither one of you will do anything. Wait here until the police come and we can explain what happened.” I said and told the media people to back off and head back towards the gate as the police arrived.  I helped sort out the situation along with investigating the gate and looked closer at the rubble seeing that it had been decayed. With the help of the police, we guided the media and news reporters off the school grounds and got the front gate back in order before heading back into the main building and finishing out the school day.

I went with Shouta to his classroom to finish the classes for the day and the class president had been changed to Tenya Iida which had aligned with the variables on my tablet. He had been picked because he stayed calm and collected when the alarms went off and everyone panicked in the cafeteria. Iida had been dubbed ‘Emergency Exit Iida’ because of how he used his quirk along with the assistance of Uraraka’s quirk to propel himself up to an area where everyone could see him and he could tell the other students to not panic and that the alarms had been caused by the media breaking in.

When the day was over, I gathered my things and sent a text out to Fatgum that I’d be staying with Shouta and Hizashi for a couple of days to save money on the commute. I also told him that I might move onto campus with the pair for convenience and he understood, a little sad that I wouldn’t be staying with him anymore but he was glad I found a people to stay with in the city and closer to the school and my job. I waited for Hizashi and Shouta to finish up in the main building because I wanted to walk back with them. I saw Shouta in his hero costume still and Hizashi had changed into an aqua track suit and he had his hair down from the bird crest style he had with his hero costume. Hizashi waved at me and I waved back at him and waited for them to catch up to where I was on the front steps of the school building. “Hey, what are you doing waiting here? Didn’t you have a train back to Estufa?” He asked. I shook my head no. “I told Taishiro that I’d be staying with you guys a few more nights if that’s okay? I’m sorry I didn’t ask you first.” I said and rubbed the strap of my backpack with my thumb. “Hey, its alright. We fully expected you to stay through your heat. Its also expected for newly bonded partners to spend the first few days together anyways. Did you tell him that you bonded with us?” Hizashi asked as Shouta was doing something on his phone. “No, I haven’t yet. I feel like its too soon.” I spoke. “Its okay. Tell whoever you’d like.” He spoke and hugged me before he held my hand as we walked to back to their cabin. I texted Taishiro about the bonding and he was excited for me. He understood a little better and told me to have a good time with them. We arrived back at the cabin just before sunset. Shouta ran inside and got changed and got a quick meal as Hizashi and I entered the cabin and were taking our shoes off. “Sorry to eat and run but it’s the second night of the full moon and I again don’t want to harm either of you.” He spoke and kissed Hizashi before he kissed me. “Be safe please.” I told him and wrapped my arms around him to hug him before he left and he hugged me back. “I will, I promise. Is there anything that you’re craving that I can bring back for you in the morning? I usually get something for Hizashi on his heat since he gets cravings too.” He spoke. “Shrimp ramen please.” I requested. He nodded and kissed my head before looking to Hizashi. “Anything for you?” He asked. “My usual chicken katsu and rice please.” He asked and kissed him against at the door. “Alright. I’ll be back in the morning. You two stay safe while I’m gone.” He told us and left the house. I held Hizashi’s hand and cuddled into him after Shouta had left. I felt the end of his tail wrap around my ankle and he held me close. “What’s up?” “Nothing. I’m just curious what you do normally when you’re here at the house alone when Shouta’s out during the full moon or out on patrol and you’re not with him.” I asked. “I either do some housework or watch some movies. I sometimes do both. But tonight, we can do whatever you’d like.” He told me with a smile. “I don’t want to disrupt your normal routine. You go ahead and do what you need to. I’d like to lay down for a bit as I don’t feel good.” I told him and pulled away and he looked at me.

“Do you want me to hold you? We can watch a movie.” He suggested. “I guess so. I’m sure this is nothing.” I spoke as I subconsciously guarded my lower stomach. Hizashi looked down at where I was guarding my lower stomach concerned. “Is something wrong with your stomach?” He asked me. “I’m feeling a little bloated, that’s all.” I reassured him. “Is it because of your aphrodisiac?” He asked. I sighed and nodded. “Yeah. It is. That and my heat is bothering me too.” I told him.

“Would having my tail wrapped around you help?” He asked. “I don’t know. Let’s try it.” I spoke and let him climb onto the couch and let me curl up in his coils. He wrapped his tail around my midsection and applied a gentle pressure to my stomach. I blushed and moaned quietly. He bit his lip and held me close when I moaned.

“Tell me more about how your aphrodisiac works.” He spoke and stroked my hair gently. “It’s a little bit complicated. I create an aphrodisiac in a gland right here.” I spoke and guided my hand to the area of my stomach right below my belly button where my uterus would be. “When it’s made, my stomach bloats up temporarily. Depending on the amount is how long I’ll be bloated. My stomach will keep growing until I transfer it or puke it up.” I explained. “How do you transfer it? Maybe I can help.” He asked. I blushed harder and spoke. “Transferring is done orally. So, I’d kiss someone or spit it into a bottle.” I told him. He nodded and leaned closer to me. “You can transfer it to me. I can take it.” He said softly. I shook my head no. “It will make you bloat up temporarily too. It’s also stronger the first time someone takes it and the first time I produce it when I haven’t made any in a while. I don’t want to risk it.  Do you have any empty bottles with lids?” I asked. He nodded and began to uncoil from me. “They’re in the kitchen. I’ll have to go get the bottles.” He spoke and lifted himself off the couch to go into the kitchen. “Go ahead, I’ll be fine. I’ve learned how to suppress it for far too long… You might want to get more than one bottle.” I told him and let him uncoil from me to slither into the kitchen and return quickly with five bottles in his hands.  “I didn’t know how much you would need so I brought these for you to start with.” He spoke and handed me the bottles. I sat up from my position where I was laying on my side and holding my stomach to try and not puke up the aphrodisiac. I took the bottles from him and he slid into the small, makeshift nest I had put together while he was gathering the bottles for me and went back to holding me the way he did before he left. I took a deep breath and transferred the aphrodisiac to the bottles.  The liquid was thick and viscous in texture and was a neon blue color. Once I had transferred all I had to the bottles, Only filling up two of the half-gallon sized bottles he had brought me and placing the lids back on the bottles and laying out in the nest. “It can be kept in the fridge or freezer until used.” I told him. Hizashi nodded as he was mesmerized by the blue color.

“It’s a pretty color.” He spoke as he looked at the liquid moving around in the bottles as he tilted the container around. “I know its your form of an aphrodisiac, but why the stomach bloating?” He asked. “Other than the arousal and to bloat up one’s mate… ugh, back home, having a larger stomach meant a better chance of bearing a healthy clutch… that’s another reason why I’m eating more.” I spoke and hugged a nearby pillow as I felt embarrassment creep over my face. I felt Hizashi wrap his tail around my midsection and he pulled me closer to his chest. “So, it works a bit like my venom?” He asked. I nodded and cuddled into his chest, taking his warm orange scent, and letting myself relax. “Yes… but with more steps.” I told him and pulled his hand to my lower stomach. He gently rubbed the area and kissed my forehead. “Is there anything I can do to help ease your pain?” He asked. I relaxed into his touch as he gently massaged my lower stomach. “I should be okay for now. What you’re doing right now is amazing. Thank you for asking.” I told him and he pulled me a little closer and keeping his hand on my stomach.

“Alright, just let me know. For now, I don’t want to let go.” He spoke. “I don’t want you to let go. Can we pick out a movie?” I asked him. He nodded and used the end of his tail to grab the remote and bring it closer to him and turning the TV on. Once it was on, Hizashi looked to me. “What would you like to watch?” He asked. “I don’t know. I’ve never watched a movie from Japan before.” I told him. He nodded and I watched as he scrolled through the movie channels and picked what seemed to be one of his favorites. “We will start with one of my favorites and we will find something else.” He told me. I nodded and cuddled closer to him, letting my softer side come out and relax. He held me against his chest as we laid down and watched the movie.  

The front door opened well after sunrise. Shouta had arrived home safely and walked into the kitchen carrying the food Hizashi and I had requested before he left for that night’s transformation along with something for himself as he was usually hungry after a night of being a werewolf and running about in the forest behind the cabin.  He looked around the house, checking the master bedroom and the guest bedroom. “Hizashi? Bryant? I’m home…” He spoke when he entered the living room and saw the two of us cuddling on the couch and the smiled widely. I was out cold on Hizashi’s chest at the time and he had pulled a blanket over me to help me stay warm. I felt safe and comfortable for the first time in a long time that I could fully relax and I passed out on him. Hizashi looked up from watching me sleep to his husband.

“She’s out cold. Why don’t you shower then come cuddle with us?” He suggested. Shouta nodded and gestured to the kitchen. “The food you two requested is in the kitchen. I also got some beef udon for myself since I was hungry after last night.” Shouta spoke. “Alright. Do you need to be patched up? You look like you got some scratches. How’s your leg?” Hizashi asked as he was craning his neck to see if the stitches had come undone in the night’s adventure.

“My leg is fine. I’ll go get the first aid kit so you can patch me up before class today. We’re going on a field trip to the USJ later.” He spoke and went to retrieve the first aid kit. “You know I’d get the kit but I’m a bit preoccupied and I don’t want to disturb her and I don’t think she’s going to wake up and move anytime soon.” Hizashi spoke as Shouta came back with the first aid kit and set it on the coffee table. He kissed Hizashi then kissed my head.

“I’m glad she’s comfortable.” Shouta spoke then looked down and saw the glowing blue bottles by the couch. “What are those?” He asked. “Those are filled with her aphrodisiac. She said that she must do that or she would puke it up or give it to one of us… giving it to us is better when we mate with her. She also said to keep it in the fridge or freezer. Could you put them away please? I don’t want it to go bad. There might be other uses for it that we don’t know about yet.” Hizashi said and Shouta nodded. He picked up the bottles and put them into the back of their fridge. Hizashi looked down to me and rubbed my back gently as he was happy that I was feeling comfortable with him. I inhaled sharply and nuzzled into his neck. “I don’t wanna wake up yet.” I said quietly and wrapped my arms around his torso. He chuckled and kissed my head. “It’s alright. You don’t have to. But I thought you’d like to know that Shouta got home okay and I told him that he could cuddle with us.” He told me. I opened my eyes wide and I looked up at him as I remembered last night with his leg getting caught in the trap. “He’s home? Is he okay? Did he remember the food?” I asked him sleepily. Hizashi kept rubbing my back and smiled while nodding slightly. “He’s alright, just a few scratches and he did remember food. But there’s something I’d like you to do for me.” “What is it?” I asked. “I need you to check out his leg. He needs it healed for today because he’s taking his class to the USJ later and he needs to be able to walk and stand on it for longer periods of time.” He told me. “What’s the USJ?” I asked. “A rescue simulation facility that Thirteen designed. Its called the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. We call it the USJ for short.” He told me. I nodded, thinking that I had heard of the USJ from somewhere but I couldn’t remember where I had seen it before. I leaned against Hizashi as Shouta came back from putting my aphrodisiac away. He sat on the coffee table and Hizashi had me sit up so he could sit up too and help Shouta with his cuts and scrapes. He had him put his injured leg up on the couch and he nodded to me. I pulled some water out of a bottle sitting on the table and slowly unwrapped the gauze on his leg which he pulled it away from me.

“I told Hizashi that my leg is fine.” Shouta hissed and glared at his mate. Hizashi hissed back and set the bandages down. “I’ll go heat up some food. Bryant can patch you up this time.” He spoke and slithered off the couch and into the bedroom. I froze up. “Are you sure? I don’t want to interfere on something that’s special for the two of you.” I spoke as I put the water back into the bottle. “It’s alright. I can’t always be the one to patch him up from his injuries. You also shouldn’t be afraid to help either of us.” Hizashi spoke from the kitchen. I finally caught on to what Hizashi was trying to do by leaving Shouta and I alone together to try and build more of a relationship together. Shouta rolled his eyes and moved his leg back to me so I could unwrap the gauze and check his wound.

“Go ahead. I don’t know how water will work to help the wound except to clean it out.” Shouta spoke. I nodded and pulled the first aid kit in my lap and brought the water back out of the bottle as I finished unwrapping his leg and pulled the gauze off the stitched-up areas. “They look clean and healthy to me. Would it be okay if I used the water to try and heal the wounds the rest of the way and get the stitches out?” I asked. Shouta nodded and I pulled off smaller bubbles of water and placed them over the stitches and I closed my eyes as healing someone took most of my concentration and drained me of energy. The cuts healed themselves up and the stitches came out smoothly thanks to my telekinesis pulling them out. Once they were all healed, I opened my eyes and let the water evaporate. I looked around to see both men looking at me in amazement

“This is amazing. Do you think you can do the rest of my cuts I got tonight?” He asked before he pulled his shirt off to show me the various cuts and scrapes he got during the night and I could feel my face flush bright red as I was seeing him shirtless again even though I saw him shirtless only the previous morning. “That’s a lot of injuries. You should be more careful out there.” I spoke as I began to pull more water from the bottle before my hands began to shake. “I promise to try and be more careful, okay? Why, are your hands shaking? Are you okay?” Shouta asked as he was concerned and held his hand out to catch me in case I fell forward from the couch. I braced myself against the couch and took some deep breaths as Hizashi was coming back with hot food for all three of us. “This is just a downside to my healing… the more I use it, the more energy it will use that I have stored in me… that’s another reason why I eat so much.” I spoke and reached for the first aid kit.

“It’s alright if it takes that much. Maybe you shouldn’t do it as much.” He spoke and smiled at me. Hizashi handed me my ramen and he curled up behind me with his chicken katsu and rice. Shouta ate his udon cold. I ate some food with the first aid kit in my lap. Shouta looked to me after he got his food and spoke. “So, what did you guys do while I was gone?” He asked as he began to eat.

“Hizashi and I cuddled. He put a movie on and I think I passed out sometime in the middle of the second movie.” I said sheepishly. “We watched my favorite movie.” Hizashi told him. Shouta smiled as he ate some of his udon and listened to us tell him what we did while he was out in the woods. I looked down to my bowl and sighed softly. “I’m sorry that I fell asleep. I felt so comfortable and cozy. There was something about your scent Hizashi, that made me feel safe and secure like that for the first time in a long time.” I spoke as I kept eating. “That’s alright. I like knowing that you felt comfortable enough with me to fall asleep. I’m glad that I can make you feel safe.” Hizashi spoke. I nodded and leaned into him as I ate.  “What do you and Shouta normally do after he gets home from being out all night?” I asked as I was trying to learn their routine. “We normally cuddle until we both fall asleep then depending on the day of the week, one or both of us have to get up for work and head out. But for now, we can all cuddle together if you’d like.” He suggested. I finished my ramen quickly and nodded, setting the plastic dish on the table next to Shouta.

“That sounds nice.” I spoke and noticed that Shouta had fallen asleep on the couch next to us and was holding onto Hizashi’s tail while snoring lightly. I laughed to myself and pulled a blanket over him.

“He’s out cold.”

“He’s normally the first one to fall asleep.” He spoke and moved Shouta closer to the both of us and he wrapped his arm around me. I cuddled into his side and let myself relax again. Hizashi smiled as he held the two of us against him. I nuzzled into his neck to take his scent in to help myself relax.

“Are you alright, honey?” He asked. I shook my head no and he sat up a little with me still on his chest.

“I want my stomach to stop growling.” I told him. “How can I help?” He asked. “I need more food please. I know I’ve eaten a lot already today but I’m still hungry.” I responded.

“Alright. I can get you more food. Anything you’re craving?” He asked. I shook my head again and he nodded and untangled himself from Shouta and slithered into the kitchen I climbed off the couch and followed him and kept my head down. I watched him make a kind of mac and cheese from pasta made from vegetables and a cheese sauce he learned how to make from scratch. Once the food was ready, Hizashi put some into a bowl and handed it to me. I took the bowl and sat down at the table to eat but now I couldn’t eat anything now. “Bryant, what’s the matter?” He asked as he sat down next to me. “Its my heat, it will make me hungry one moment then not want to eat the next. This looks lovely but I don’t think I can eat right now.” I told him.

“Can I help in any way?” He asked as I pulled the bowl closer and began to eat. I was quiet for a bit before I gathered the courage to tell him what was really going on. I took a deep breath before speaking. “I need to put on some weight before I take your clutch.” I told him and looked away from him out of embarrassment. “I know, love. I’m not suggesting that. That’s only something I’d do to you if we were mated. We’re only bonded for now and there are other things we can do for now to help you get through this heat.” He told me. I shook my head and took a bite of mac and cheese. “It will take time for me to gain the minimum amount of weight needed before any kind of mating is done. I’m asking for your help with that.” I blurted out with my eyes shut. I opened them after a few seconds and looked to him. He nodded and took my hands in his. “I can help with that, sweetheart.” He spoke. I nodded and finished the bowl of mac and cheese. “I know some people find that purposefully gaining weight is unhealthy but it’s what my dragon quirk needs to produce healthy clutches that have a potential of surviving.” I explained uncomfortably. I didn’t know how else to go about telling him about this except to just get it out in the open like I was doing now. “It’s alright. Everything will be okay. If someone says anything about you gaining weight, they will have to deal with Shouta and I.” He reassured me. I felt myself relax when he said that.

“Thank you.” I told him.

“You’re welcome. Now, is there anything else I can get you?” He asked softly and wrapped the end of his tail around my ankle. “May I have some water please?” I asked. “Of course, Darling.” He spoke and went to the kitchen to retrieve some water for me. I looked over to see Shouta sitting up from the couch.  He looked sleepy as he stood up and yawned as he walked over to the table.

“What are you the two of you doing?” He asked. “I was hungry.” I told him. He nodded and sat down next to me. “Is everything okay otherwise?” He asked. I nodded yes and played with his fingers. “Good.” He spoke and smiled at me. Hizashi slithered over and handed me a glass of water which I drank then soon got sleepy. I looked over to the pair as they were watching me finish the water with soft smiles on their faces.

“Are you ready for bed?” I heard Shouta ask and I nodded. I followed Shouta back to my room where I collapsed in my nest; falling asleep before my head hit the pillow.
