Dating Killua Headcannons

(I'm in love with this gif. Shut tf up. Bask in it's glory.)

・Cat boy. Cat boy. Cat. Boy.

・No, being serious. Killua is a cat.

・He does that thing where he'll rub his neck or head into you when y'all are cuddling <3

・He also nocks random things over just cause...why the fuck not?

・I like to think Killua is pretty flirty

・But hates when he's being flirted to

・"Your cute Killua." "B-Baka! I'm not cute."

・*Ahem* Anyway.

・Killua is touch starved. Change my mind.

・I'm a personal beliver that Killua has a love hate relationship with praise

・Like, he likes giving praise

・But hates getting praise for some odd reason

・"Hey Y/N." "What babe?" "You have a nice face." "Aw, thanks. You have nice hair" "Baka. I don't"

(I don't remember how praise works ok- its like 5 in the morning okay, I'm watching an old punz vod. it's so old that the camera has the punz border lol.)

・I feel like Killua will just flop into your lap and cling onto you

・He also likes head pats

・Again, he's a cat

・I feel like he's not big on PDA in public but at home...

・He's all over you like your the center on the universe

・Definitely has shocked you before on "accident"

・I feel like he's the type of person to have no storage because he has so mahy pics of you

・I'd think that their all of you sleeping

・Again he's like a cat, sleep during the day and a ball of energy at night

・You both like knocking sense into Gon (you do don't lie)

Alright I'm done- also I sprained my finger today- hurts like a bitch right now but I'll survive.

[koolades-world]

making a part two for my solomon birthmark fic because i was already tempted and 1 (one) person agreed with me lol. shoutout to my birthmark twin @mahi-does-obey-me. i know i said i'd post something else today but the temptation was too great. i worked on this instead of doing my data analysis for my lab lmao <3

part of this was partially inspired by me actually missing a couple birthmarks on myself because I just forgot, or didn’t know they were there until like yesterday lol. just like before, leans suggestive (more so than part 1 i think) but it's very cute. this is probably the raunchiest i'll be getting for a while lol. i feel like i really cooked with this

faded scar

"I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Solomon stretched his arms high above his head. His muscles gleaned with sweat, highlighting his surprisingly toned torso. He scooted to the edge of his bed, and swung his legs onto the ground.

"Can it wait just a few more minutes?" Despite being tired, you sat up and leaned against his back. You threw one arm over his shoulder, and the other was braced against him.

"It can. We can just order in instead." He reached for his D.D.D.

"You were planning on cooking?" You raised an eyebrow.

"I thought it would be cute to present you with a home cooked meal. Because I love you."

"That's alright. You do enough already." You laughed at that thought. You were glad he was deterred from cooking so easily today. You'd like your house to not be set on fire today.

"What do you want for dinner?" You peaked over his shoulder at his screen.

"Can we get Italian please? From my favorite place?" You fluttered your eyelashes at him when he glanced over at you. It worked every time, although you knew you didn't need that extra convincing.

"Of course, my love." He'd do anything you asked him, regardless if that was ordering your favorite food, or abandon the exchange program. It was funny how that worked; a demon started this in order to bring the three realms closer, and as a result, he just brought two humans together that could pose a real threat to what he'd created.

'You're the best!" You pressed a kiss on the back of his neck. He already knew exactly what you wanted, so no more words needed to be said. You studied his back profile. It was littered with countless old scars and pact markings. It clearly displayed the long life he'd lived.

“Sorry about these.” You traced your fingers over the angry red scratches on his back that were beginning to puff up.

“I’ll wear them like the badges of honor they are.” Solomon chuckled.

"You can't do that! The others are going to see." The idea of everyone seeing the marks and connecting the dots mortified you.

"That's not what you said when you gave those to me." He remarked. You smacked his back in response.

"Solomon!" You squealed.

"I can't promise anything." He held the hand that was dangling over his shoulder and kissed it. "Food will be here in about half an hour." He set his phone back down, but he didn't move. He let out a deep breath, and relaxed his back muscles. You watched as the tension left his body.

Neither of you spoke, and instead, you charted each and every mark on his back with your finger. In this searching, you found a line of birthmark down his back. It wasn't very neat, but it followed a pattern, starting at the base of his neck and ending at his hips. Maybe it was a result of all of the magic he'd done over the years, since you'd gathered he didn't know he had them.

"You didn't tell me you had so many birthmarks on your back." As you drew a line from the first to the last mark, a shudder wracked through his entire body.

"And you didn't tell me you had a birthmark on the front of your shoulder, and under your lip." You could hear the smile in his voice.

"I do?" You placed your head on his shoulder, to which he gently thumbed the spot where it must've been.

"How'd you notice that?" You reached up to touch the spot for yourself, not sure what you were expecting to feel.

"The same way you noticed mine. I did a lot of staring at your face for little while." Solomon admitted.

"You stared a lot of other placed too." You playfully rolled your eyes. You went back to staring at his back. You could only think of doing one thing to return the favor of what he'd done for you.

Carefully, starting at his neck, you kissed each and every birthmark, making sure to linger just long enough to make him itch for more. He let out a shaky breath, and seemed like he was suppressing another shudder. You giggled, but didn't stop. "Just remember, food will be here soon." You reminded him of the order he'd placed.

"You're the worst." He sharply inhaled.

"Love you too, baby." You played with the wisps of hairs at the nape of his neck. He squeezed your free hand a couple times, but made no move to stop you. Once you'd made it to the last birthmark, you lingered for a moment, letting your breath fan out over his lower back.

Solomon let out a gasp of what you could only describe as frustration. He threw his legs back up onto the bed, and laid down on his back, yanking the covers over himself. You stifled laughter and draped yourself over his torso. He gave you a peck where he'd pointed out your new birthmark, before letting you settle into him. He checked his D.D.D. quickly for the time.

"We still have twenty more minutes before food gets here." He let you know.

"So that means we have nineteen more minutes of cuddling." You hummed.

"We have fifteen more minutes of cuddling. I need time to put clothes on, dear." You grumbled at his response. You didn't verbally answer, but you knew you could get your nineteen minutes of cuddling whether he liked it or not.

The activities of the day had begun to catch up to you, and you felt your eyelids begin to droop. A couple times, you felt yourself falling asleep, and shook yourself awake, much to Solomon's amusement. You weren't sure how much time had passed before he spoke to you again.

“I think love is being by your side.”

“Huh?” You mumbled, already half asleep.

“When we first met, you ask me what I thought love was. I never answered you.”

“You’re adorable.” You planted a kiss on his neck, since your face was already buried in it.

You were glad you’d chosen him.

Wind Breaker Song Parody Doodles (2)

A collection of Nii-sensei's song parody doodles posted on Twitter! Will be linking sensei's tweet, the corresponding song, and windbreakerdaily's post of the illustration here on Tumblr.

(Part 1)

In this post: Panda Hero | Solar System Disco | Shinigami | Mahi | Shin Takarajima

[ nii_satoru | windbreakerdaily ]

Hachi - Panda Hero

If you find yourself troubled, call for them, on the field enclosed by electric towers

A black-and-white hero of unclear morals, a metal bat in their left hand

[ nii_satoru | windbreakerdaily ]

NayutalieN - Solar System Disco

Under the boisterous light of that first magnitude star

shall we dance a dance together?

In tune with the heartbeat of our solar system

let's sparkle with tangled steps, star!

[ nii_satoru | windbreakerdaily ]

Kenshi Yonezu - Shinigami (full ver. covered by dongdang)

Alright, what needs to be taken care of?

Like to get a glimpse of him after he's been put through hell

Want to see his face

After he's gone off flying, slipped, cried and bawled

He can't get away from us anyway

[ nii_satoru | windbreakerdaily ]

yama - Mahi

Even though I was fragile that I'll break

I was strongly seeking love

I don't want to forget what it means to be standing on this stage

I never want to forget it

[ nii_satoru | windbreakerdaily ]

sakanaction - Shin Takarajima

In order to bring you along with me now

I'll draw oh so carefully;

With these shaky, trembling lines

I've decided

To draw oh so carefully

Notes: These are the 10 I could find so far! I'm going off on sensei's captions / the words in the drawings, so do let me know if I've missed any. Check out the songs too 🎵 Hope this has been an interesting read to you!

[fala-alfredo-pasta]

Hope when you receive this , you finished TOTK and isn't overwhelmed with requests. Is it alright if i ask for a Kazukoi comic? (Kazuichi x Mahiru)

idk if this is the same anon but I figure i can knock out two asks in one go yeeeee

Kaz: the vibrator's for your birthday, Mahi

Mahiru: oh kaz 🥰

Hiyoko: GROOOOSSSS!!!

[downtofragglerock]

Alright, since we're still on the mammal train, let's talk ungulates

In our world, ungulates are a group of mammals that make up most larger scale herbivorous mammals worldwide, much like the carnivorans, they also have quite a lot of variation among the subgroups

Having counted, there are only 6, maybe 7, ungulate analogue rahi

First there's Bovidae, a subgroup that includes Bovinae (bovines), and Aegodontia (antelopes, sheep, goats, basically every two horned herbivorous mammal that isn't a deer or a pronghorn)

For Aegodontia, we the Mahi, a goat that, despite seemingly being the only member present in the mu, at least seems pretty common, and much like goats in our world are domesticated

For Bovinae, we have quite a few: the Kane-Ra, the Artahka Bull, the Fader bull, and the Mata Nui Cow. Most of these seem to be fully wild, but the Mata Nui Cow seems to be the exception to that.

The only other ungulate group seen are the Rhinos, namely, the Vako

But then that "maybe 7" comes in, since the Kikanalo seem pretty rhino-like. But they also are pretty kangaroo-like as well. They're a full on hybrid. So the question is, do they count? are they a rhino that has a body plan similar to a kangaroo? Or are they a marsupial that happens to have cosmetic similarities to a rhino? These are now questions I must live with.

But that's it ungulate-wise, which leaves a lot of groups completely out of the picture, as far as we know, the matoran universe doesn't have deer, giraffes, pigs, hippos, tapirs, or most notably, horses.

Equines, a type of animal that is a quintessential beast of burden for us, just don't seem to exist in the mu.

But there is a rahi that fills their niche, at least culturally.

A rahi that is a common beast of burden, but is also ridden, to traverse long distances, to race, and are used as calvary units.

The Ussal crabs aren't just the dogs of the mu, they're also the horses.

*ring* *ring*

"allo?"

"hey candi, its me mahi"

"oh morning mahi. why're you calling this early? did something happen?"

"more or less. do you think you and ikkan can handle the store alone today? i couldnt sleep a wink last night and REALLY dont feel capable of going to work today. *sniff* i dont wanna lock myself in the bathroom like neta always does hehe"

"take your time darling, well handle the shop today. take care of yourself alright? if you need to talk to someone i can always lend an ear."

"thanks candi. but dont worry, mizoles coming over in a bit anyway. im good. i promise. see you tomorrow."

*click*

"mahi?"

"over here"

"babe..... what happened"

"nothing... im just overreacting...."

"no youre not. tell me whats on your mind"

"youre gonna think its dumb..."

"i should feel insulted you think that about me"

"pff ur right. im just worried about neta and warabi. especially warabi. actually only warabi, i know neta can handle himself. and i know neta said its just a low risk mission but what if something happens to him. what if he gets into some dumb argument with some other soldier and gets beaten up. what if he gets lost. what if he dies. and- and i cant call or text him or anything because they couldnt *hic* couldnt bring their phones and im just so lonely and i dont know what to do without him here *sniff* i miss him so much"

"and its just the 3rd day of their mission and theyll be gone for at least 2 more days and i already cant sleep! i just want him back home.....ugh sorry i probably sound pathetic"

"no you just sound like your wife died"

"i FEEL like my wife died!" *uncontrolled sobbing*

"hey... cmere... look at me. theyll be fine alright? warabi managed to get on netas good side im sure the other soldiers will warm up to him too. plus neta wouldnt let anything happen to his number one employees best friend and husbands bandmate, right? and im sure if it was actually dangerous his parents wouldve intervened"

"*sniff* yeah... youre right.... i just miss him....."

[myauditionfordrphil]

What is worse- Santner going unsold or Santner in MI?

Also Chahar 😭😭😭

Did we (CSK) get good bowlers????? Yes

But am I still pissed about Chahar??? Also yes

He could have gone to any other team it would have been fine but going to MI is the worse thing ever😭😭😭😭😭

The only blue I want him to see him is Indian Blue 😭😭😭

Also Deshpande 😭😭😭😭 He was not that good be he was ours

Can you tell I am emotionally attached to all CSK players???

Dude I don't know, I miss Santa, our part time cricketer and full time golfer 🥹🥹🥹 somehow him going into MI just makes it worse but I couldn't bear if he went unsold that's a different kind of hurt (but still MI?!??!) Like he never got enough chances and yet always gave his best whenever he got the opportunity, he'll always be yellove 💛💛💛

And just don't get me started on Cherry 😭😭😭 he looked so sad like it physically hurted to see him like that but we couldn't do anything. CSK had only 13 cr in purse and still went upto 9 cr for him, just shows how badly we wanted him. Like many people say that he's average or whatnot, ok alright if somehow I agree that he's average (which I don't) he's still OUR average. All those posts by Jaya and Malti god I'm crying... who'll get scolded by Mahi on field, who'll come and take important wickets in powerplay, who will be the merry cherry in the team????!

Also I just can't imagine Chahar bowling against Rutu or worse Mahi at Wankhede and getting their wickets (100x worse if he celebrates tge wickets with the Mumbai crowd cz now that's his team). If CSK wins the title this year, it'll be the first one since 2018 (when I started supportive them) where Cherry's not in the squad. But no matter the team he'll always be our boy 💗

Brooo I'm also so emotionally attached with all these people, and for Deshpande (and Shardul, Moeen, Theeks, etc) as I said - they're average but they're OUR average 🥹 it's like losing Faf but 10x worse, this auction is very bittersweet with all the loses and reunions... Hopefully we'll come to love this team as much and hopefully we'll lift the trophy yet again this time 💛

[yesyourstalker]

Mahi: so he knows how to read lips right?

Neta: yes he knows how to read lips. He'll understand you.

Mahi: All right? Okay, I just don't want to look dumb in front of him

Neta: well I don't see the problems there. I mean you look dumb in front of me all the time

Mahi:....... It's not very nice to say to one of your employees

Neta: yeah what you going to do fight me? Shut up any way (clap) okay!! so you guys haven't had a proper introduction so here we go. Mahi this is Seth, Seth This is Mahi. [Signing].... Mahi is just going to show you the ropes around the store if you don't have any clients at the moment you can help customers or take care of stuff around the store with them.

Seth: [signing] sure, no problem

Mahi: uh hey my name is Mahi I'm your manager

Seth: hey, it's nice to meet you.

Mahi: yeah Nice to meet you too!

Neta: All right you seem to be doing well. I'm going to be in my office I got some shit to do so take care of the store. K

Mahi: so what do you want to learn first?

Seth: I took a look at your register. It seems to run the same system as my old job so I know how to work it. Maybe just teach me how to fold clothes I guess. Is there a proper way to do it?

Mahi: we separate our clothes by category of musician and we switch it out every other month. Clothing with green tags are folded while clothes with red tags have to be hung up. So most most green tags are shirts and some pairs of jeans while everything with red tags are usually socks, belts, jewelry, jackets some tops do need to be hung up... Most of them are like dress shirts... You'll know what I'm talking about.

Seth: uh huh

Mahi: ok you got some boxes in the bag we can unload those so you can get the hang of it.

Seth: alright

_______________________________________________

Mahi:[folding]........................

Seth:[folding]...........................so how long have you been working here?

Mahi: three or four years or so..........

Seth: oh... Must be a nice job

Mahi: I have a question and please don't think I'm stupid. It's a genuine question

Seth: Go on

Mahi: Can you hear me? I mean you're- you're looking right at me so I know you can understand me now but when you're not looking at me, can you understand what I'm saying.

Seth: It's usually environmental so I can hear high pitch noises and loud sounds but speech not so much. I'm severe to profound deaf on my right ear but on my left it's moderate so I can hear speech but I do have to try to figure out what you're saying. Especially since you're a new person. If it's like my roommate or my parents not so much, though sometimes I do have to face them to understand what they're saying too.

Mahi: oh..

Seth: I honestly hate wearing it but it makes work a little bit easier to manage..... This one has a purple tag. What does the purple tag mean?

Mahi: purple tag means we can't put that out yet.... It's a specialty item. So you see there's the date on when we have to put it out so we have to put it out next month. I don't know why they printed it on purple, makes it harder to read.... But when you put it out all purple tags have to be hung up near the entrance. Never folded.

Seth: okay I get it...... Nice tongue piercing who did it?

Mahi: Candi did it. She did it right after I interviewed her when she got the job....why

Seth: just wondering?.... You got any tattoos?

Mahi: I do I have one on my ankle and I have one on my shoulder see

Seth: DJ Sango huh? Nice... You thinking of getting another tattoo?

Mahi: I have ideas but but I don't have the money

Seth: but considering I'm going to be working here for a while I guess I can give you a discount and technically you're my boss so you might get a bigger discount.

Mahi: really! Holy shit!

Seth: yeah just give me the design and I can see what I can do. I'm scheduled to work on Neta tomorrow,might wanna visit

Mahi: great! You've met everyone else, right? Warabi and Candi?

Seth: Candi and I go way back so she got me this job. I haven't probably met warabi yet he seems...... Interesting. I honestly thought that was just his persona for diss-pair I didn't realize he was actually like that in real life

Mahi: yeah he's always like that. You'll get used to it.

_______________________________________________

Mahi: [knock knock] .... Hey Neta?

Neta: yeah so we can put vending machines and maybe another arcade in this location so we don't lose traction to -yeah!

Mahi: oh you're busy. I'll just

Neta: no, it's fine! We'll talk later....yeah.....yeah I'll tell him Bye Koi.... You finish training?

Mahi: yeah he got the gist of it he just needs his sign in card..... I have a question

Neta: shoot

Mahi: how much was your back tattoo and how much did it hurt?

Neta: it was around 875 and the pain was bearable it stung in some areas. Why? you want to get a back tattoo?

Mahi: yeah I do

Neta: I wouldn't recommend jumping to that extreme mahi. You might need to get some moderately sized tattoos before you get something big like a back tattoo. Get something on your arm or leg first.

Mahi: I don't have any ideas what are you getting?

Neta: I'm just getting a family tattoo on my arm and finishing up on my e-liter one.

Mahi: why do people who use chargers as their main weapon make that their whole personality?

Neta: because it takes skill to use it

Mahi: it takes skill to use all weapons

Neta: yeah well mine takes more skill shut up. You don't get it.

Mahi: I really don't.

_______________________________________________

Seth: I'll meet you at my old parlor you have the address?

Mahi: yep got it. Can I bring warabie with?

Seth: he can tag along

Mahi: great!

_______________________________________________

Warabie: I always wanted a tattoo on my stomach like flowers or a crab or something

Mahi: a crab?... we're here.

Warabie: remind me of my childhood home! We used to live right next to a wharf and they used to pull big halls of crab. We would visit all the time my family used to make crab cakes, crab bisque, crab broil and steamed king crab. You know this! you We always had crab linguine when you came over

Mahi: that wharf you're talking about was an hour away. And you guys never went over there I distinctly remember that they delivered it to your house cuz your mom couldn't stand the smell or the people

Warabie: well I went there once it was with ikkan we picked up some crab and fish and made dinner.

Ikkan: no, you stayed in the car I went to the wharf and bought the fish and crabs and I also cooked the dinner you did nothing.

Warabie: ikkan!! Shouldn't you be in school? Why are you here?

Ikkan: Neta and I missed Valentine's Day but we're making it up by having a tattoo date. I just finished I'm just waiting for-

Warabie: can we see your tattoo? Did you get the chest tattoo? (Gasp) Let me see!!!!

Ikkan: *huff*.....one second.... ...see

Warabie: ohhhh That's really nice. What plants is that?

Ikkan: it's a pothos like the one at my place.... Can I button my shirt now?

Warabie: It's matches up with your tops surgery scars awwww

Ikkan: yeah that's the fucking point. Why are you guys even here?

Warabie: mahi has a meeting with a tattooer they're thinking of getting a back tattoo

Ikkan: A back tattoo? That's a little extreme for your first tattoo.

Mahi: It's not my first tattoo, I have tattoos. They're just small....*sigh* I'm actually just here to talk to Seth and come up with ideas. The back tattoo is still on the table

Ikkan: He's working with Neta now they're in the back

_______________________________________________

Seth: All right, I'm going to lay down the stencil........ Looks Good?

Neta: yeah

Seth: ok great. Let's start tattooing.... Used to be in the military?

Neta: yeah

Seth: You're an admiral? It's a pretty high rank

Neta: actually the badge belongs to someone else. They really helped me through a lot and they recently-

Warabie: hey guys!

Mahi:....lot bigger than I expected.

Seth: hey guys, just sit on the couch over there. I have a packet of designs I've done feel free to look through.

Warabie: I think I already have an idea for my tattoo

Seth: All right.

Warabie: I was thinking of maybe a crab on my abdomen like a really detailed blue monochromatic style

Seth: sounds sick. What about you mahi you come up with any ideas for yours?

Mahi: no, I'm still thinking about it

Seth: there's no rush

_______________________________________________

Seth....All right, I'm finish with the line art. I'm going to start doing the color. Do you mind if I take out my hearing aids I do my best work like that

Neta: sure man no problem.....so mahi you want to get another tattoo? What are you thinking about?

Mahi: i have some ideas I want a school of fish on my arm maybe some tetras

Warabie: you should get nine of them

Mahi: That's too many

Neta: maybe three?

Mahi: That's too little. I wanted to actually look like a school of fish...... Six, six would be good I just need to schedule the appointment and get the final design. I don't think I'm going to get it today

Warabie: well can you stay cuz I'm definitely going to get the crap tattoo today.

_______________________________________________

Ikkan: hey babe I got you some things to eat.

Neta: thanks. Feels like my blood sugar is getting low. *Tap tap* [sighing] can we take a break I need to eat something

Seth: [signing] no problem

Warabie: how do you know sign language?

Neta: the military requires us to learn sign language if we're going to be in combat. Though mine is BLSL and Seth's is SSL

Seth: BLSL and SSL sign are very similar so it's easy to understand and learn if you already know one.

Mahi: what's the difference?

Neta: It's mostly different hand gestures really for different words. Haven't used it in a long time so I'm kind of rusty.....umm.... Tattoo I'm looking pretty good. Half an hour should be finished.

Seth: Glad you like it!... warabie I'm going to work on some crab designs for you. Mahi do you know what you want?

Mahi: I think so.

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 135 - Family Vacation, Part 1

Finalizing Jaden's adoption and getting everyone settled into their new normal was stressful, but it only brought Ophelia and Xander closer together. These two are about as close as two Sims can get!

Another day in paradise at the Lemon house. Speaking of paradise, Xander has an idea.

Xander: Now that the dust has settled, why don't we go on a trip, just the five of us? Maybe we could even make a sixth.

Ophelia: Watcher, don't even joke about that.

Xander: Alright, fine. We still haven't been to the beach house your gran left you since we got it renovated. What better place to celebrate Lulu's birthday?

They've still loved and cared for her, but Lulu has gotten a bit less attention. Doing something special would be nice.

Xander: Come ooooon, Lemon Cake, you know you want to!

As Xander tickles her sides, Ophelia desperately tries to shove him away.

Ophelia: Ah! Stop it!

She giggles through his torment.

Xander: Come on, just say yes!

Ophelia: Okay, okay! I surrender!

Xander: Pack your bags. I'll get the kids ready.

Ophelia: You want to leave TODAY?

Xander: What's life without a little spontaneity? Is the tickle monster gonna have to get you again?

Ophelia: You're such a dork!

Xander: I'm not hearing a no.

Ophelia: Fiiiiine.

Ophelia can't help but admire her husband. He's still the same goof she fell in love with years ago, but he's grown so much as a father, and a man. A new setting would be a great place to bond with the family… and for them to bond after the kid's bedtime.

Eve Lemon's old one bedroom house on the shores of Sulani had been converted into the perfect family beach house. After everything they've been through recently, a little down time was warranted.

The kids barely let them put their bags down before begging to play on the beach. How can they say no?

Lulu can't ask for much, but she's happy as a clam playing in the water with her mommy and her big brother!

Gemma loves playing with her family, but independent girlies like her like to play by themselves sometimes too. She's looking for seashells to bring home as souvenirs!

As the sun sets and Xander gives the kids a bath, Lulu does what she does best.

Before changing her diaper, Ophelia feeds and burps Lulu, who thanks her by spitting up on her.

Ophelia: I'll miss you being so tiny, but I'm not going to miss the spit-up and stinky diapers.

Xander grills up some fresh mahi mahi while Ophelia cleans up their stinky little one.

Ophelia: Ten points for presentation, babe. This is amazing.

Xander: Yeah. Too bad the kids are barely eating it.

Ophelia: Toddlers aren't known for their fine palettes.

As the popcorn maker goes wild, Gemma approaches her momma.

Gemma: What's that do?

Ophelia: It's making us some popcorn for a nighttime treat!

It's also because the custom food glitched when the kids tried to eat it and I didn't want them to starve.

The kids are fed, tucked in, and the grown ups finally have some time to themselves.

They instantly go upstairs and fall the heck asleep.

The joys of being parents.

Sometimes you find out your dead family isn't actually that dead and have a cry about it.

Collab drabble with @ro-valerius and @ffxiv-f13ndish

Characters that speak: @ro-valerius - Tio, Kaiyo @ffxiv-f13ndish - Moxxie Mine - Nerida, Mina (I don't have pictures for this one so story under the cut)

Neri leaned against the pillars of the entry to the yard of the Flower house as Mina carried the unconscious viera to the door. She watched as Moxxie took an interest in the chocobos in the front yard. She felt her shoulders sink, was it a good idea bringing the kid here after everything? She wasn’t sure, she wasn’t sure about a lot of things right now. She turned her attention to the door opening as a small blue au’ra darted out, almost barreling past Mina to hug Tio tightly. The door hung open, revealing the Flowers frantically preparing a cot and other such medical necessities for Tofu.

“Thank the Twelve, you’re alright!” she murmured into Tio’s shoulder before pulling away and looking around. Her eyes widened at the blood dripping down Tofu’s back, but all else was dashed aside when she realized who else was there. “Mom…ma…?”

Her voice was a faint whisper on the wind as she turned slowly to face the woman she had come to know as her mother. Tears welled up in her eyes as a sob tore from her throat. “Momma!”

“Damselfish! Wha-” Mina started before she almost lost her grip on Tofu. 

“Uh…I’ll uh, take Tofu inside, the ceiling’s a bit low, so…” Tio murmured, patting Kai on the head as he passed. “We’re talking later, Mahi…”  Kaiyo smiled at Tio, a bittersweet edge to it.

“Yeah. Yeah, we should, Rory.”

Tio took Tofu from Mina carefully, and as the door closed behind him, so too did the chaos within quiet. Mina sadly looked at the door after it closed, her heart ached for her son, and his new family. She took in a deep breath and tried to compose herself. The moments after the storm always did hit her harder.

Neri pushed off from the fence and slowly walked over, trying to gauge when she was in Kai’s field of vision. She didn’t want to startle her by talking without her knowing she was there. Kai heard the footsteps and tensed, remembering that she was meant to be helping watch the house as well. She turned, calmly, though with urgency, to face the source of the footsteps. When her eyes fell upon Nerida’s, she dropped to the ground as the strength left her legs. 

“N-Neri? Both of you…! I thought everyone else was dead!” she sobbed, burying her face in her hands. “I was so scared… And then I found Rory, but he didn’t remember me, and I had to be strong so that I didn’t hurt him, I had to act like I didn’t know him, I-”

Mina scooped Kaiyo up off the ground and held her tight. Kai wrapped her arms around Mina’s neck and buried her face into the crook of it, sobbing uncontrollably. Mina murmured comforting words as she kissed the top of her head. Nerida walked up to the both of them and silently hugged them both and rested her cheek on Kai’s side. The dam finally broke and Neri could no longer stop herself from crying. 

Kai clamored down to pull Neri into a tight hug, realizing that Neri not only had the reunion to cause tears, but she also had the fresh realization that Rory…didn’t remember any of them. Kai had time to cope, though it still hurt her immensely, but Neri…

“I’m sorry, Neri, I’m so sorry,” she murmured through her tears. 

“I’m sorry… I should have looked for you.” Nerida sniffled. Kai shook her head, but kept her face buried in Neri’s shoulder.

“I kept a low profile, you wouldn’t have found me.” Kai pulled back and looked at Neri, examining her face. “How did you end up in all of this? How did you find Rory and Momma?”

“Well I uh…” Neri looked away, trying to find how to explain.

“Honestly I’d like to know that too.” Mina said with her hands on her hips. “What in the seven hells were you doing on that ship, Nerida?”

“You were on the other ship? How- Why?!” Kai asked as she scrunched her nose and furrowed her brow. “Weren’t they smelly?” The last statement was clearly meant to be a joke.

“I- I…” Neri sighed. “I got myself hired on the crew…”

“But why? They…they-!” Kai stammered.

“I know! Alright? I know… I was going to… I planned on…” Neri put her face in her hand as she tried to find the words. “I was going to try and sabotage the crew from the inside… But… Things got complicated.”

Mina crossed her arms and glanced over at the kid Nerida brought onto her ship. Neri nodded in acknowledgement of the “complication.” Kai took Nerida’s hands in her own, her touch gentle.

“Nerida, what if…something happened to you? What if they found you out? Hells, what if our side didn’t stop before…hurting you…?” the small au’ra murmured. Her eyes glassed back over with tears at the mere thought. 

“It’s not like I knew anyone was coming to take out the basilisks! And well… It’s not like I knew anyone else survived them slaughtering us.” She said the last part under her breath.

“If I was so much trouble for you, you should have just slaughtered me with them the first time you stepped foot on that ship. I’d have preferred that over this,” Moxxie loudly called out over her shoulder, not turning to look at Nerida as she spoke. 

“Not a chance that woulda happened kid. But please, blame your mother for assigning me as your babysitter for me caring about you,” Neri snapped back.

“Hey hey hey, none of that right now,” Kai said softly, turning her attention to the kid she, admittedly, hadn’t noticed. “You are here for a reason, kid. Something, someone, saw fit to send people who would be merciful to you, rather than just more people who would kill with no reason. After what you did to our ship, it wouldn’t surprise me if your crew had more enemies than just us. But instead of them, you got us. I’m not saying be grateful, but…give it some thought. Figure out the reason why. Think for yourself.” 

Her tone was gentle, patient, even though this kid had been part of the crew that slaughtered her family; but she knew. She knew the kid didn’t have a say in any of that. She wanted the kid to think for herself from then on, to have a chance, the same way Mina gave her a chance back then.

Moxxie turned her head towards Kai, then over at Mina. Her gaze settled back on Kai once more. 

“My mom is dead. Last thing I want to do is thin-”

“So is Miyu’s family. Who started that, I wonder?” Kai questioned, her patience waning.

“Then I’ll make sure the family dies with them,” Moxxie bitterly responded, turning to Kaiyo with a fire in her eyes. 

“Miyu also lost everything, and yet here they are! Thinking for themself, figuring themself out, living, caring, loving! Same with Tofu! And Ro! They built something new in the face of their loss! Loss is not the end, it is the beginning.”

Nerida walked over to Moxxie and put her hands on both of her shoulders as she turned the kid to look at her. A pained look was on her face as she searched Moxxie’s eyes.

“Don’t throw away a second chance. I’m not asking you to forget, I’m not asking you to forgive. I’m asking you to live.”

The flame in Moxxie’s eyes wavered as they began to fill with tears. She shut her eyes tight. Silently, she nodded. Neri pulled her into a hug, enveloping her the same way Mina had done for Kai. 

Kai sighed, a sad smile crossing her features. “Neri, you always were better with words than I was. I got heated when the kid said she’d rather be dead. Sorry ‘bout that,” she murmured.

“Don’t worry about it. The kid was raised to be stubborn as all hell,” she said looking at Kai over top Moxxie’s head.

“Kid, ya got a name? Can’t just keep callin’ ya ‘kid’ all the time,” Kai called.

Moxxie wiped her eyes, taking in a deep breath before she responded. 

“Kora Moxxie. Just Moxxie is fine,” she answered, lifting her head up once more to address Kai. “No, that wouldn’t be right. You don’t look much older than I am, anyways.” Kai stretched her arms above her head.

“I am pretty young, yes. Well then, Kora Moxxie. Don’t dwell on death. Walk with life. I know that it’s hard, I lost one family and thought I lost another. Gods is it hard. But there is so much more out there for us to see. And I’m sure your mother would want you to see it, as well,” she said, offering a more bright smile.

“Sure…” Moxxie vaguely responded. 

Mina approached Neri and Moxxie. She knelt down placing her hand on Moxxie’s shoulder. 

“Wanna know a secret?” She leaned in and whispered, but not quietly. “The three of us have a lot in common. And I’m sure those two see themselves in you. Nerida will give you a hard time. Only because she wants better for you than what she got. Before I got a hold of her that is.” 

Neri eyerolled as a daughter would when her mother is being embarrassing.

The tension in Moxxie’s limbs eased up ever so slightly as the faintest of smiles crept to her lips. She gave another nod, then roamed back towards the chocobos. She’ll leave the family to go ahead and cry together for a little while longer.

already mentioned this to Em in a DM but for everyone else's benefit; I was doing a few rounds of Turf with her the other night and at one point during our first match on Mahi Mahi resort, she fell into one of the little squares of water beneath the raised platforms and my immediate first thought was "there goes Peachy falling down them holes again, smh get some new material girl" because I am a horrid little gremlin man

i'm also amused at imaging Siltmat (me own octoling PC) seeing it happen and just kinda going "ohhhhhhhh ok this is an ongoing thing with you and not a one off. hm. alright. ok." whilst Peachy just flails around in the water with an expression like a kicked puppy

she made a great first impression

A New Home Ch. 5

Various Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd Reader

Wc: 1.1k

Back to the start! Previous Next

It's been a long day of battles, and you're ready to crash on that damn uncomfortable bench. 

'Man, I should really get myself an apartment or something.'

Once you've situated yourself comfortably on said bench- as comfortable as a hardwood bench could be- you begin the think about tomorrow. 

'Aloha's battle with Goggles is supposed to go down at some point, right? Wasn't Mask just finishing up one of his battles at the same time? Yeah that's right, he complained about how energetic Aloha was or something.'

You're stuck in your own thoughts, contemplating your choices. You already know exactly how Aloha's battle goes, but you still have much to learn from his skills! On the other hand, you're still disappointed that the manga didn't show off how skilled the S4 really was. Getting destroyed by Team Blue first shot and all. Besides skull of course, but that battle wasn't even shown, just the outcome! How annoying. But oh, that's going to be such a fun game to watch! You can't wait to watch Team Blue get wrecked!... Not to be mean or anything, but you've had enough of the overpowered main character moments. 

You look up and realise that you probably looked crazy or at least a little weird when you spot somebody staring at you, big grin across your face. 

'Alright, cool it. But that's gonna be so fun~ But back to the choice at hand, who's battle do I go watch?'

You'd really love to see Mask destroy his opponent, it's said that he didn't even have to swing his roller once, how impressive! But he said in his battle with Goggles that swinging down and crushing his opponents doesn't count, so does he do that? Does his team do all the inking? Ugh, so many questions.

'Wait a sec, I'm in the Splatoon manga. That means I can probably watch some off-the-record battles at some point! And they’re famous, so I bet some of their big battles are caught on video.’  

…So now what? Who's battle is more likely to get filmed. Or rather, who's would you rather see up close? Mask is technically stronger than Aloha and Aloha's definently a more take a video and pictures of everything kinda guy, so maybe Mask?

'But they're both really good teams! Y'know what? I'll just try to catch both of their battles. Tomorrow'll be pretty eventful.'

It'll have to be planned out and executed right, but you're sure you can catch both battles, if you do this right!

You look down at the uncomfortable bench below you, sighing. It can't really be helped, another night sleeping on this bench won't hurt.

˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

You shield your eyes from the bright sun, it seems you were able to sleep in a bit today. Your weapon and bag are intact, so that's a bonus. You shrug your bag onto your shoulder and grab your weapon by the strap Sheldon gave you, and make your way over to Inkopolis Tower to see what time the big battles are at. There's a big screen on there stating what time Corocoro Cup battles are at, so you get to see that Aloha and Goggle's official battle starts at 10:44 am. As for the Cyan Team, it says 10:46 am. It shouldn't be too difficult to get from Mahi Mahi to Walleye Warehouse. A couple long super jumps and you'll go from one to the other in no time. 

'Alright, I'll leave right after Pink Team's Disco Ball Dance, and I should catch the last little bit of Cyan Team's battle.'

You make your way over to Ammo Knights in the meantime, sitting down in the training area and taking the time to clean your weapon thoroughly.

It doesn't take long before a yellow-green inkling with a Gold Dynamo Roller walks in with the same intentions as you, so you turn your back to him. 

'I really can't get a break, can I? These main characters are everywhere!'  You take a look down at your precious weapon and inspect it, 'Well, I guess I'm bound to run into them if I act like them. I probably got this whole 'treating my weapon like my own child' thing from Rider anyways.'

Recalling how you began a manual like Army's, you're starting to see a pattern.

You finish putting your weapon together, doing a quick durability test and making sure the ink goes through smoothly. Once you've made sure it's running better than before, you look at the clock on the wall and note that it's 11:30. Time to get going. You make your way over to Mahi Mahi Resort, trying to find the best seats that are still close to an exit. You place your weapon down to take your manual out, closing your bag up and making sure it's ready to go as soon as you can leave. You watch the Pink Team get to Mahi Mahi and start sunbathing and hanging out a couple minutes early.

'That's right, Pink Team got there early and was waiting for the Blue Team.' 

Aloha spots you in the barely-existent crowd, winking and waving at you. You pretend not to notice, checking the time on your phone. 11:41. You spot an inkling a couple seats over wave at him excitedly. 

'Good, that checks out.' 

Then you hear the cries of the Blue Team as Goggles drags them into the non-inkling-safe water.

Oh, and there goes Aloha, underestimating his opponents. Honestly, you probably would too if you were up against the Blue Team. 

'Aloha really does talk like a party animal, huh? I can barely understand him sometimes.'

The match begins, Specs and Goggles are off to a bad start. Aloha points out that his team never fights and doesn't bother with practicing, which makes you slightly cringe 'cause how are you supposed to get any better without practice? 

'You do you, dude. Goggles'll teach ya why you should practice.' You snicker, knowing the outcome of this battle. It's honestly pretty impressive that they manage to lose against Team Blue, they've definitely got some real skill behind that laid-back attitute. Aloha continues to amaze you will his aglitily and flexibility, there's no way you'll be able to get to his level without massive amounts of training.

And there it is, Pink team's Disco Ball Dance! Wow, they're all pretty agile! Better get some aiming-related training in if you ever plan on winning against these guys.

'Diver can break dance? Cool. And that's my cue to leave. Team Cyan, here I come!' 

You quickly hoist your bag over your shoulder and grab your weapon, and make your way to Walleye Warehouse to catch the end of Team Cyan's battle.

Noisome

The Vulgar Orange

Well,that was a name alright. The place didn't look particularly vulgar although maybe they were talking the staff? Or possibly the customers? Or was it like vulgar as in common, everyday. Your perfectly normal orange.

Which, the place wasn't orange either. The outside of the building was covered in the standard weather-stained gray wooden shingles although it looked like they had been painted blue at some point in the distant past. The inside was a calming yet not quite comfortable brown. It was all very wooden plankish as if they wanted you to believe they had made the inn from a shipwreck. Maybe they had?

Okay, there, over the reception desk, was some time of maritime flag thing, bright orange. She had no clue what it meant but assumed it was something clever for those who were in the know. One minor mystery close enough to being solved that she put it out of her head.

The husky man standing beneath that flag looked her over as she came in. He had been in the midst of polishing something when she came in but the rag was draped across it as it was put to the side so she couldn't tell what.

"Good afternoon to you, I'm Shane, can I interest you in a room or a bite to eat?" All one practiced and smooth greeting that's probably been repeated just like that more than a thousand times.

"Heya, Katalin here. Just a room for now, I've got to get back out there."

"Sure do and when you get back I recommend the mahi-mahi. Came in fresh this morning." He grabbed a key from the wall behind him, naming the price of the room as he did. Which, it was a bit more expensive than she would have expected but she did have a time limit and this placed seemed nice enough. Heavens knew she had stayed in more noisome places.
