#also i didn't get to go to a single pride parade

[jamiemaybeme]

it's been three whole hours since the end of pride month and i hate it already :(

[thesilverlady]

saw a post about Ryan Condal's take on Aegon's relationship with his son and I want to vent because I really don't think the man has even bothered re-watching s1 to recall what he made.

Quote:

This is the thing that Viserys never did for Aegon. And Aegon did not study at the feet of his father. His father had his male heir and then essentially said, “Well, that box is ticked,” he was ill. I think he enjoyed having a son but didn’t put in the work the way he did with Rhaenyra when he was a younger man. And I think Aegon resents that and feels that part of the reason that he’s not seen as being suited for the crown or the throne is because he didn’t get that training from his father. So now he’s going to make up for that tenfold with Jaehaerys.

Let's start with Viserys' parenting, shall we?

"Viserys never did for Aegon"

In ep2 we saw a then healthy Viserys parading baby Aegon with pride and joy. It has been the only "good" scene we had between them because it's also the only time we see Aegon as a child. It's safe to assume that he continued to dote on his son during his toddler years and only stopped when Viserys became too sick or when Aegon started developing a personality.

Viserys had no reason to bring Aegon to council meetings, had no reason to groom Aegon as heir because he wasn't. That's the entire point. We also never saw him putting any work on Rhaenyra besides her serving as a cupbearer in ep2.

"He enjoyed having a son but didn’t put in the work the way he did with Rhaenyra."

What kinda of work did he put exactly with Rhaenyra? Rhaenyra already felt inadequate in the first episode because her father desperately wanted a son, when he murdered his wife and his newborn died, he named her heir. In ep2 when Rhaenyra makes a suggestion about how to handle the situation with Daemon Viserys dismisses her and it's Corlys who supports and backs her up.

In ep3 when celebrating Aegon's birthday, it's established Rhaenyra has been once more isolated at court. Viserys never cared about the gap he created between her and alicent when he decided to take his daughter's friend for a bride and unlike Alicent, he didn't even reach out when she was lonely.

In fact, in the same episode we see he's in a hurry to marry Rhaenyra off and he publically berates, scolds and humiliates her in front of people at court. In private, he still doesn't understand her nor does he try to.

The only time viserys was "good" to Rhaenyra was a) in driftmark during the fight between the kids and b) when he spoke in favor for her against Vaemond.

And those scenes aren't even in character for show Viserys if we're gonna be honest. They only happen because they must. The plot couldn't move forward otherwise.

"He [....] didn’t put in the work the way he did with Rhaenyra [...] And I think Aegon resents that."

Except he doesn't.

Aegon doesn't resent that because the show has never established any feelings of rivalry or jealousy between Aegon & Rhaenyra and that's because we didn't have a single scene between the two.

In ep6, a very sick Viserys is seen watching fondly both Aemond & Aegon training with Jacaerys & Lucerys.

It's conveniently forgotten that in the context Viserys enjoys watching all boys together. And he takes their "fighting" as something boyish and playful. He visibly gets upset when Harwin and Criston throw punches at one another.

The only time Viserys is shown to be taking a side between his children is in the Driftmark episode when Aemond loses his eyes. And while in that context he's protecting his grandsons and to an extention Rhaenyra herself. There are more reasons to feel disdain towards Viserys; like how he particularly talks to alicent in that episode, how he's rough with Aegon himself etc. Viserys is incapable of handling the situation. Even when his daughter who is also his heir gets injured, his solution is for everyone to go to bed and for tomorrow to depart.

It makes sense that Aegon would become resentful of Viserys as he grew older but that resentment has to do more about how his father treated his side of the family rather than how he treated Rhaenyra (who he has history of treating like garbage as well btw)

"So now he’s going to make up for that tenfold with Jaehaerys."

Y'know... I gotta love how people rant about the show making both sides neutral in order to 'show depth' and then you get their interviews and you see that depth is merely fans headcanoning.

Let me explain. At first glance Aegon looks nice with Jaehaerys. it's the first time we (viewers) see the kid and it's the first time we see Aegon fully happy. it's nice. Out of context.

Now let's take the context, a joyful Aegon walks into the chamber, he asks where his son is, he goes to check the blond one that sits few feet apart from her mother because Aegon can't tell the twins apart. He quickly realizes that's his daughter so he asks again. Helaena informs him their son is at their library, doing his custom and gently reminds him Jaehaerys shouldn't be disturbed. Aegon ignores that. He tells her the reason he wants him is because he wants to take him in the council meeting and "start his training", Helaena poses a question; what if Jaehaerys doesn't even want to be king - like Aegon himself hadn't wanted to - Aegon acts as if he didn't hear and he still seeks the boy out, forcing his son to attend the meeting upon finding him.

In the council meeting, Aegon's attention is mostly on Jaehaerys who seems to be annoying Tyland. Aegon encourages that behavior and seems to take joy from it. To the point where he (rather stupidity) almost humiliates Lord Lannister by making him act as a pony for his son to ride.

This is not Aegon being affectionate to Jaehaerys. This is Aegon acting the way he probably wished Viserys had acted with him; encouraging of his rebellious/misbehaving attitude, dismissing his council and putting down important people in favor of his son.

He's not breaking the circle of neglect; he continued it in a similiar pattern. Jaehaerys is incredibly young and easy to entertain. The exactly way baby Aegon was in ep2. Aegon already ignored the possibility his heir might not be interested in his so called duties in the exact way his own mother had ignored and kept pressuring him to take a role she was molding him for.

So, similiar to Viserys, Aegon might have adopted a different attitude with his son as soon as he'd develop a persona of his own. The seeds were already there.

Saying that Aegon was simply trying to be a good dad because Viserys was shit and he was only good to Rhaenyra and Aegon felt jealous of that ignores every single time of Viserys was a walking human garbage to everyone.

DC Pride 2022:

I didn't particularly like the Damian and Jon story (not in the least because I generally don't get much from the way they're characterised in stories together), but it did crystallise a few things for me about why I find "it's a Pride parade!" stories so unutterably dull.

I'm not going to go into the 'is Pride a riot' debate that I know was everywhere when this issue came out, but I think the thing is...the art never actually LOOKS like a parade to me, as it doesn't hit the right notes.

Where are the Dykes on Bikes at the head of it. Where are the old people who founded this. The history OF the parade is encapsulated in the shape of the parade itself. It's always too young, too sanitised and too twee.

The Nubia and Io story just reminds me I really want to read all the Nubia stuff (I'll get there!)

Connor's story is that awkward line of 'we need you to come out' and 'coming out stories are so formulaic'. Connor, definitely throw that letter in the bin. You absolutely don't actually want to send a letter to your mother about the specific details of what you do and don't want to do with other people physically. The awkwardness in your memory of what you said will never ever go away.

Alysia Yeoh's story is clearly not contemporary (probably mid Batgirl 2016 I think?) because Babs isn't using the Clock Tower when this issue came out. It's...nice. Adult. Slightly tired.

The Jackson Hyde story is cute. I feel it's making Xebel a lot calmer and friendlier than it's usually portrayed but I haven't read enough Aquaman to be definite on that. Hang out with your boyfriend, Jackson!

The Jo Mullein story I need to come back to after I've actually read Far Sector but felt fun.

The Ray Terrill story...is extremely funny if you have actually read Ray and Dinah's 1990s interactions.

What's calculated to make Ray run off to help immediately? Dinah calling for back up!

Dinah. Dinah. Behaving like this is how you had that massive fight with Ollie where he thought you were cheating on him with Ray thirty years ago. (Do it again, it's very funny to me)

Ray: nobody has every shown me affection before Dinah: acts like a human being Ray: dedicates his entire diary to being aimed at Dinah

ANYWAY. Story is fine, the bonus by reading it through a 90s lens is amazing.

The Kate Kane story just being Jacob Kane being proud of Kate made me laugh (I don't actually think you're that supportive, Jacob, but I'm glad you think you are trying to be in your mind). On the other hand it's sweet to frame something through a proud parent.

Tim's story: I laughed realising they'd given this to Travis Moore. They clearly wanted it to be pretty. Nice that they went to Fair Day.

More seriously though: this is very in tune with Tim having other moments of self discovery (To the Father I Never Knew, the first Father's Day with Bruce). Very similar internal monologue.

As I say annually, the Harley/Ivy story is unnecessary. This should be in their own titles.

(Sorry Earth-11, I do not care about you)

And then we get to the only story in the ENTIRE ISSUE with any real grit to it (Kevin Conroy's autobiographical piece) and they slap an advisory warning on the front.

And look, I get why, but also it's so...hmm...we should be able to acknowledge more complicated stories and common narratives without having to warn people. We don't put warnings like that on the front of Lobo (well, aside from the comic being titled 'Lobo'). It should be possible to acknowledge the joys of identity while still reflecting on the past. It's not even anything more than a single slur a bunch of times plus period homophobia and the AIDS crisis. It's not shocking? or surprising? or unexpected?

DC Pride Tim Drake Special #1:

Okay so this is UL reprints plus one new story?

I think the most disappointing thing about the Steph story is that the characterisation doesn't really ring true to any of the characters involved? Steph is allowed to be jealous. Tim's allowed to be avoiding her and shouldn't be getting nagged by everyone to talk to her (especially given the preceding stories and the DC Pride story make it clear Tim and Bernard have been dating for months). It's a cute fantasy but it doesn't feel realistic for the failure points of the personalities of any of the characters involved (Tim, Steph, Conner or Bart), and Cass is once again just used as an adjunct to Steph, rather than someone who has her own independent relationship with Tim.

The art is cute, I even think Tim and Steph did need to clear the air on page, but...it could have used some more grit? Depth? Possibility of things going wrong or people feeling hurt? Less of an ideal fantasy that worked perfectly?

[nothorses]

For the sake of my question, I'm hoping wherever you're from, it's not ireland because I'm looking for an experience other than Ireland. I'm from Ireland (the capital city specifically) and we have pride near the end of June every year. I was pretty excited to go, a Bunch of queer youth groups and things like that go every year. But...when I went to Watch the parade, it was....so bad? Not in quality, but there were an unbelievable amount of corporatations? And well hated ones too, AMAZON?? AT PRIDE? With a cute little rainbow logo, well that's nice... And there was SO. MANY. corporations. I for sure saw more people under banners that said shit like fucking Google more than I saw people I could reasonably assume were there for celebrating their queerness. It was just....fucking advertising. And this is why I'm asking you, I'm not really sure who to ask but really I just want answers from other queer people who've been to pride in their countries. Are the biggest pride parades where you're from like this??? Are yours full of companies too???? Or is Dublin just fucked??

I haven't really gone to pride since the first time I went some years ago because of exactly this. I'm in the US, the first pride I went to was San Francisco pride in maybe 2016? and I didn't even go for the parade; I just came to explore the festival afterwards. every single one of the booths was some corporation, and all of the food was like, super expensive because it was all controlled by one company running every food booth across the whole festival.

I've heard small town Pride celebrations tend to be a lot better for this, I just haven't had the opportunity to go to one. But you might consider looking into one of those; you'd also be supporting a Pride celebration & vendors who are less likely to be getting the kind of support that those at the big city Pride celebrations are getting.

I did also have a nice time connecting with the ace group that was there, and using Pride as an opportunity to connect with community is just like, generally very much in the spirit of what it's about! so maybe going in with some plans and intentions would be helpful as well.

Happy Pride Month! 😃

May I please request headcanons for Joker, Ann, Sae, and Akechi going to a Pride Parade with their S/O?

Going to a Pride Parade with S/O

Fandom: Persona 5

Character(s): Akira, Ann, Sae, and Akechi

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): Happy Pride Month!! Love this idea!! I will say that I didn't write it as "Everyone is happy to go to Pride" just because of what I know of Japan's views with the community. There's nothing bad, but just want to give a bit of a warning that there is some hesitance from some characters.

Akira

Oh, Akira would be thriving at a pride parade. He's wearing vibrant colors and accessories and is happily complimenting each float with you.

He's the leader of the Phantom Thieves, they fight for justice and to help people. So of course he absolutely vibes with the community too.

Akira will also happily get face painting done or if there are any small businesses selling pride merch then he'll be glad to dump quite a bit of money there (he's loaded).

Ann

Ann loves going to Pride Parades. They're just so pretty and aesthetically appealing. She'll gladly help put together some pride outfits for the two of you, keeping it looking good but also still resembling the flag (or even a different flag besides the rainbow if you wanted).

You know she is going to various booths and food stalls with you to see all the pride-themed stuff. Gladly gets pins and stickers to clip on to some of her outfits later.

She is loudly cheering and clapping when the parade starts. Happily holding your hand while marching with the floats and smiling widely as she engages conversation with you and others that are at the parade.

Akechi

There's some hesitance about going initially from Akechi. Not because he doesn't support it, but because he's a bit afraid of being recognized and judged by others. I mean, it is Japan and the last thing he wants is you being harmed because a picture of his face ends up on the news saying that he attended a pride parade.

He does end up going with you because you're just so excited and he wants to support you. I feel like with Akechi constantly striving towards a single goal, he never really took the time to explore himself so going to a Pride Parade really does cause him to start thinking over some things.

At the end of the day, Akechi is genuinely happy that he went with you. He even did get recognized a bit at the parade, but was met with nothing but support for the two of you. It definitely made him want to have deeper conversations with you regarding identity too since he's constantly struggling with who he really is.

Sae

Also, a bit hesitant about going to a pride parade just because of public perception and what her superiors might think. She does go because it makes you happy and Makoto saying it'd be a great way to see another side of the public she's defending.

Sae does very much enjoy the floats and speaking/listening to various people of the community speaking about how Pride has helped them. It definitely brings her a boost of serotonin.

Does make sure to keep an eye out in case anyone does try to cause trouble. She knows how prejudices and bias can get so she keeps you close to her while remaining vigilant. But overall, she does really enjoy the experience and being with you.

[wawawawawawawawawawawawawa]

hiiiiiiii we havent sent you any asks for some time. mostly because kanra didnt front much

[idk if you can recognize us after all the url changes]

ereyesterday our their of pissed suggested getting into an outpatient psychward and told us to think about it. and silver[headmate] made a post on the tumbler saying that this could be a bad idea because somewhat recently i made a hole in a wall and less than a week ago Lyra messed up a cupboard. as if we're the only ones who on occasion damage stuff when angered. this is literally so mean for no reason.

also. a few months ago shinra had an accident with a knife. and we got a fun new 1 inch long scar and possibly a little bit of nerve damage or something. and we were supposed to get some reminder tetanus shot around a month after that since i had no idea when was my previous tetanus shot. and i uhhhhhhh didn't get it since i'm scared of doctors, and it would probably seem quite weird if i went to a doctor about this now

also im sorta balding but. scared of doctors so cant do anything about that

last sunday i was in some social studies class or some other shit. and the teacher said something about how lgbt people were never oppressed in this country. which is a very bold thing to say as someone living in a country in which like a quarter of the area declared itself a "lgbt free zone" and only calmed down a little when the european onion told them that that's probably illegal. and i decided to argue with the teacher a bit. one of the things she said was that sometimes there's dudes in pup masks on pride parades, which invokes disgust and thus should be banned, and. idk why but i kinda expected teachers to have a bit more common sense than 14 year old twitter users. also i came to school wearing a spiked dog collar on a regular basis. [for reasons unrelated to kink.]

well. good thing i'm failing every single one of my classes lmao. at least i won't be invoking disgust in fragile old ladies

also. i just met a doggy and he was very niceys. very soft and friendly. and polite also.

- toby

HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE U MY BESTIE IN CHRIST <3 u changed ur url a binch of times but ur icon remained the same sdlfndnfkjsnsdf so i was able to keep track!

i however do not understand a single word of that first paragraph. if u want my advice, DO NOT. FUCKING GO. TO A PSYCH WARD!!!!! idfc Who it helped, it hurts a lot more than it helps, theres NO WAY to tell which psych wards are good and which are shit. no really let me go thru them all rn:

REFERRALS: most professionals that work in different offices do not know each other on a personal level and may never hear of their bad stories. a doctor that was the chillest coolest doctor id ever met referred me to a psychiatrist that sucked fucking ass shit. there is no way to know for sure

GOOGLE REVIEWS: im gonna b real i dont trust some of those mfs. you seen the guys that go into psych wards? a lot of mentally ill people r internalizers and just accept whatever happens to them, and even if they arent, society looks down on the mentally ill SO MUCH that they could b told "you deserve this bc ur crazy" and due to all this societal gaslighting, theyd agree

REVIEWS ON OTHER WEBSITES: same thing lol

why is this so important? because you cannot Fucking leave a psych ward. an outpatient ward yeah you can leave, but ive been to both in and outpatient and they excert the same level of bullshit control over their patients. in outpatient, one of the therapist told me "you are not mentally ill" and made me cry lol. she MEANT to mean it in a "you're not mentally ill, you're ~suffering from a mental illness~ uwu dont let ur disorder define you" kinda way, but that concept was introduced in therapy..... two days after she told me this. like hello? and then she tried to spin it as like, it was a problem with Me i.e. My PTSD Was Triggered and not She Is Dog Shit At Timing The Explaining Of Concepts.

this place also invited my abuser into group therapy even after me incessantly telling them "this is my abuser, she will use all this against me" and yeah guess what she did immidiatley after lol

dont go to wards.

WRT THE KNIFE: damn :0 thats insane dude, hopefully the nerve damage will heal but from experience its gonna take like, a few years at minimum lmao. i had a Knife Incident involving my pinky and the nerve damage was so bad that i couldnt hold scissors w my pinky in the scissor loop thing but evenchually it got better but it took like 4 years. if the knife was clean and not rusty ur risk of tetanus is pretty low i THINK, do not quote me on this. if ur scared of doctors, look into if ur pharmacy offers tetanus shots! some pharmacies have vaccinations other than flu and covid (which i need 2 get lol rip) so u might be able to get one THERE and not see A Doctor about it!

u dont need a doctor for the balding. minoxidil my dear boy, its at walmart, its the stuff thats in rogaine. you want "minoxidil 5%" thats whats in rogaine, theres "minoxidil 3%" thats For Girls but idk ive never heard of anyone having a problem w it. IT IS TOXIC TO CATS THOUGH IT IS VERY VERY TOXIC TO CATS IF YOU HAVE A CAT DO NOT LET THEM FUCKING TOUCH YOU OR RUB ON YOU UNTIL IT DRIES ok? :) id google more if i were u but boom. problem solved. i am the doctor now

"dog masks invoke disgust and should be banned" babygirl disgust is subjective and like, someone could use that logic to ban whatever YOU like, or Are. maybe someone is really disgusted by lil old ladies bc the wrinkles look gross as fuck to them. should we quarrantine the grandmas?

also lol at the dig against 14 year old internet puritans and then surprise surprise guess what happened on This Very Blog while this ask was sitting n collecting dust!! i gotta b on my best behavior bc theres a nonzero chance that The Feds will be looking at this blog (did u know u dont report cybercrime to local police and instead theres a form on the fbi's website? Well Now You Know!) and that goes 4 all of u too. bart please be good..... for the love of GOD please be good....... please tell me yall know that simpsons scene

also also yay doggy!! was it a regular dog or a dude in a pup mask? either way very fun n cool!!!

------------------

Has q ever seen hobie hurt: yes. Hobie got stabbed and came to his dimension to heal since miguel doesn't really check there. Q was terrified and anxiously searched Google for what to do after the tightly wrapped bandages. It didn't do much so he convinced hobie to let him call his aunt who's a doctor. They didn't go to the hospital and hobie let her aunt do her magic

Has hobie seen Holly hurt: yes. One time Holly was fighting a clone and the clone like grabbed her arm weirdly and dislocated her shoulder but in doing that it messed up some nerves in her lower back so and she already had like random minor back pains sometimes so now hobie kinds just helps him out though that whenever it gets really bad.

Has q seen hobie cry: whenever hobie cries, there are 3 or 4 questions q always asks first. Do you wanna talk abt it, do you need space ( if no then the last question isn't asked), do you need water, do you want a hug/ to be held? They may or may not end up talking abt it later, it just depends on the situation

Has hobie seen q cry: q has like this thing with crying where he knows it's healthy to cry but also she doesn't want to be a burden and depending on the situation that she doesn't deserve to cry so hobie asks them the same questions and then they figure it out from there. Depending on what it is, most of the time q will talk abt it

Has one of them made the other cry: not like sad tears but "you are loved tears and I hope you know that"

Highest moment: holly took hobie to meet his friends so they spent a few days in oakland doing stuff like going to abandoned buildings, the curiosity shop, a pride parade, and dumpster diving at Stanford on movie out day for free stuff. Then they popped over to atlanta and went to a gay club and did some vogueing. Went to underground atlanta for a bit too

Lowest moment: whenever Holly visits her parents it's always internal conflict because she killed her parents but they don't know that so it's like "am I the bad guy, would it be better if they knew I killed them and disowned me" and it's a downward spiral from there

How do they feel abt hobie's laces: pretty chill with them. Admires that he's willing to go that far

How do they feel about hobie killing osborn: also chill with it. Wishes she had enough tenacity to kill a public figure

First kiss: like on the lips? So after a protest in hobies dimension which consisted of tickling fascists until they passed out and then literally blasting their eardrums with music, they buried the bodies in the community garden and then q asked of they could kiss hobie out of excitement

First time: they don't participate in coital activities together

Fav moment: the hangout in oakland and atl

Weirdest date/moment: they were out by the bay just walking around and feeling the birds and one pooped on holly's head but thankfully ze were wearing a headwrap because if that had gotten in zer dreads 🫣

Most angry at each other: they both have these moments where they try to handle things by themselves when they don't have to and it's like "why won't you let me help you I'm right here"

Most terrified for each other: for q when hobie got stabbed. For hobie when q got mind controlled by a device that found a frequency where their powers can be used against them. It almost made her kill himself

What incorrect quote is their vibe: it can be either one saying this.

A: I think an hour in the dryer would fix me.

B:*stops folding clothes and stares at them*

A:*leaves the room*

B: What the fuck- Don't just walk away after saying shit like that!

B:And you're wrong! A rinse in the dishwasher is what you need!

One wants to give the other a surprise what do they do: they're both ok at keeping secrets but hobie is better than holly at it. Holly tries to get information he needs first which usually consists of him asking hobie hypothetical questions a few days at a time. Hobie tries to pry for more info but isn't successful most of the time. Holly rarely suspects when hobie is surprising them but when she does have a clue she tries to get her to let him guess what it is. Hobie doesn't tell em whether or not they get it.

How do they annoy each other: quante will constantly try to jump on hobies back while walking, will poke his arm repeatedly, will ask what they're doing when it's fairly obvious. Will bite hobie randomly. She will bite back. Hobie annoys q by resting her chin on their head while they're standing, will put his full body weight on him with no warning. Will randomly tickle them. Both of them will copy what the other is saying for hours at a time

One HAS to ne sacrificed who us It and how does the other react: ok so quante (depending on the time of day) is either terrified of death or like I can't wait. It's not really the after part zer worried abt, it's the transition part from not dead to dead. They're terrified of pain (ironic considering they're a spider person) but also they don't want anyone to be sad if they died. Hobie's like I really don't want to die but I will if I have to. If hobie died, q would feel guilty because it should've been her but she would also not do anything too drastic to herself because hobie died for her so he's gonna live for him. On the other hand if q died, before their death, they'd feel guilty for the pain they're leaving everyone with and selfish that they don't have to feel that pain because she dead. If it's a quick decision I feel like q would convince himself to do it before her brain talked her out of it

Accidental baby aquisition, what's happening: aw shit there's a child now. They will take care of it with everything they have. The baby also has a great community since it has the spiderband and q's friends. Hobie and q will hide this from miguel as long as possible. It's not that miguel wouldn't love the child but miguel doesn't know a lot about q's universe and they'd like to keep it that way.

Hobie is insisting holly give them a piercing, how does that go: holly has given herself a helix piercing and a nostril piercing and it went well ish. So when hobie is adamant that hollu gives her one she's like sure why not, first time for everything. It goes pretty well and only got infected once.

What does q think of hobies music and do they listen to punk music: q likes hobie's music and goes to his shows. He always makes sure she has earplugs so he doesn't have hearing loss by 25. Meanwhile q had those like construction headphones because they have sensitive ears. They still go to support hobie thought. Q does listen to punk music, it's kinda just jumbled in w the rest of their music taste. But it's there.

What music does q like and does hobie listen to it: q will listen to almost anything as long as it has a catchy beat. The lyrics don't matter but if they're good that's cool. She's mainly been doing an exploration of black music so there's a lot of neo soul, afrobeat, afrobeats (yes there is a difference), funk, punk, disco, hip hop, r&b, jazz, hyperpop. Hobie's chill with most of them but she vibes with the neo soul, afrobeat, punk, funk, disco, and jazz.

Does Holly make music and does he make it with hobie: holly writes songs occasionally that they never finish. But they will help hobie with some songs or will ask them for input on a song

Any exes on either side: hobie yes, holly no

Political ideology and do they agree with hobie: after learning what anarcho-communism is and how there are better solutions than the system in place, she started doing a deep dive and hobie helped him with some research. So they agree with hobie

What's something hobie and quante disagree on: hobie isn't really a big fan of organized religion amd quante is Christian so sometimes they get into disagreements about that. Of course hobie is like respectful but thay doesn't mean they agree

Do they argue and what's that like: they don't really argue over like important things but they will have little arguments about q's music taste sometimes

How do they get over disagreements: they take some time away from each other to gather their thoughts, then they come back and try to work things out

Fave personality trait about the other: holly likes hobie's confidence and how she isnt afraid to just be. Hobie likes how easily holly can adjust to whatever's going on

Least fav personality trait about the other: hobie doesn't like how q automatically tries to blend in to situations and mirror other people. It's not a conscious thing and most of the time q doesn't even realize he's doing it. Q doesn't like how stubborn hobie is.

How do they make each other laugh: holly is a really easy person to make laugh. He'll laugh at a bug falling off the wall. It takes a bit more work to make hobie laugh. One thing they'll both do it try to mimic each other's accents terribly. Holly is horrid at mimicking hobie's accent and hobie can't get the flow of an Atlanta accent

---‐---------------------------

Are they fine with pda or do they keep it private: it's mostly private but in public and around close friends they'll like lean into each other and do quick kisses

What are cuddles like for them: they will cuddle literally anywhere. The floor, check. The couch, check. A mattress in an abandoned building, check. Once cuddling starts it takes like at least an hour for either of them to consider getting up. Most of the time there's music playing but sometimes the silence of each other is enough

What are their kisses usually like and who goes for them first: at first hobie initiated them but once hobie reassured q that affection was ok she started going for them more than hobie. Most of the time it's just soft sweet kisses but there's an occasional makeout session here and there. Those are in private

Do they hold hands a lot: yes and when they can't they're always touching each other in some way

‐‐‐---------------------------------

What's a secret they keep between them: both of them like pineapple on pizza. Everyone would have a fit if they found out

What's something they know about each other: hobie knows about holly's frequent identity crisis'. They happen less often than they used to but only hobie knows the extent of them. Holly knows about hobie's self destructive tendencies and tries to help her through them.

Do they hide anything from each other: yes. They don't need or want to know everything about each other. Also, some things don't need to be talked about and surprises are cool.

Do they fear losing each other: definitely. Hobie is terrified something may happen to quante while she's fighting clones since he's not always the best at looking out for herself. Quante has emotional attachment issues so that coupled with the fact that hobie is a spider person and the society is jacked up is already enough to terrify him

Have they ever broken up or lost contact: there will be periods when one of them just dips for a bit. It's no more than a month and most of the time they warn each other before hand

Do they playfight/playargue: definitely. At this point it should be added to the list of love languages

What's something holly can do that hobie can't: holly can hide in cabinets

What's something hobie can do that holly cant: hobie can jump to touch the top of the basketball square. Without spider powers. Like the top of the back board

How big is the height difference and how do they feel about it: hobie is a foot taller than quante and he always makes a point to bring it up. Quante is kinds used to it by now since his brother has been doing the same thing ever since he was a centimeter taler than him. But whenever being short cones in handy, she never let's hobie live it down

--------------------------------

How does q show he cares about hobie: info dumping is a love language. If hobie wants to info dump about literally anything, q will try to grasp as much as ze can and add it to the little information pile of hobie stuff they have in their head. Q will also just give hobie random trinkets they find on the ground or get hobie something because it made them think of her.

Something sweet q has done for hobie: had her friend teach her how to crochet a tiny dong so he could make hobie one has also gone into one of those pits at punk concerts where people like run into each other (I forgot what the pit is called) it didn't go too horribly

Has holly ever made hobie feel sappy: so after a patrol one morning holly was meeting up with hobie and on the way there he saw a baby pigeon. It wasn't in or near a nest so she loomed around for one and when she couldn't find one she took the pigeon with her to see hobie and hobie kinda adopted the pigeon and now he has a lil pigeon child. The adoption date of the pigeon is also the same as the day yall met. Hobie doesn't really keep track because multiverse time is weird and also time is a construct (does this count as sappy? I kinda forgot what it meant and can't look it up because I'm on a plane)

Does Q keep anything of hobie's around: anything hobie gives her, she keeps. Anything that reminded them of hobie they keep. Occasionally steals hobies clothes because it will be waaaay too big. Q is a hoarder, hobie amplifies this

How does hobie make quante feel: in summary, akskjejsjsjsudjshshshshdhjsjdjd. In detail hobie makes them feel safe and seen. They feel like they can just exist and not have to worry about anything. Being with hobie is freeing and calming and exhilarating

Does q have any feelings about hobie that they don't tell them about: hobie gives q an immense amount of gender envy and he constantly wants to steal his gender

How does hobie feel about q: hobie feels that q is a breath of fresh air. They aren't worried (too much) about the society around them so it's also freeing for hobie in a way. Hobie feels that the vibes are chill and there's no pressure to do anything the other doesn't want to do. It's chill, it's refreshing, it's nice

Why do the 2 of them make a good pair: both of them are similar in someway but I think their differences balance each other put and they each bring new perspectives

How do they make each other better people: hobie makes quante a better person by encouraging them to be themself regardless of what's happening around them. Quante makes hobie a better person by making sure he gets a freaking break. She has to remind them that rest is necessary and the world needs a not worn out hobie brown.

The plane just landed and this is very long lol so here are some pretty pics

Have a great day yall

[like-wuatafauq]

Trueee trusting people can be super hard especially when you've been hurt multiple times before. It's okay to be cautious and take your time letting people in. The ones who are meant to be in your life will understand and be patient with you :)

Also omg your native language is Spanish? That's so cool!!! I find that language to be really romantic

And don't worry too much about the English stuff. Being fluent doesn't mean you have to know every single word perfectly. Mixing up phrases happens to everyone, native speaker or not. Do you have a preference between the two or do you feel equally comfortable in both?

One time I was chatting with this British person and I was completely lost 'cuz they were talking so fast and their accent was so thick I could barely understand a word 😵‍💫

I straight up just left from the call without saying anything... HAHAHA

Thank gosh it was a group thing so they probs didn't even notice I was gone 😭

Oh and my pride month plans they're basically just to make more queer friends online and maybe chat more with my irl queer friends too. Tbh there's not a whole lot going on around here. I've never actually been to one of those big pride parades. Have you?

Also what's your pride month plan? ^_^

From ♡

Awe thank you :,) and I've been told I sound kinder in spanish or that I seem like a different person but I don't do it on purpose🥲 so idk what they mean but also even though I think it be romantic too, I've never used it on someone. As in I've never been with someone who I've spoken sweetly to in spanish not even my ex I was with almost 4 yrs, plus i didn't want to lol, i dont think i had that much chemistry with her to bring that out of me. Plus she wouldn't even let me play mexican music, honestly I never used my spanish around her unless I was translating, it genuinely made me sad cuz if I translated or spoke more in spanish to my family then my accent would stick she would say "why do you sound like that now, you didnt sound like that" and id say i cant help it if im switching my brain back and forth so I kinda just stfu now lol or I try to focus when I switch back

But yeah i prefer spanish and I think I'm slightly better at writing,speaking and word knowledge in spanish plus when I feel things strongly i genuinely have a hard time saying it in english so if i dont end up saying it in spanish i just get quiet. or if I get high or drunk I might completely forget I'm supposed to speak English I've done it to my bestie lmao 💀

Also lmaoooo you being like nvm and then leaving is funny af I should do that more often instead of pretending ik what the fuck they say.

Those sound like good pride month plans!! I need to see if there is events near me I know in the city there is but it's like 2 hrs away and about 3 to get to the major one where I think they have pride parade there too. Yes I've been but only once. I might just focus on at home things this month tho I'm currently out of the country 😅

[jinxxedmisery]

I just wanted to come here and say, I'm sorry I haven't been active lately.

I haven't gotten around to requests in like months.. thankfully only one is in my inbox right now.

I also haven't been doing a lot of art.. things have happened which I will vent about... because my therapy appointment is over a month away and where else can I vent if not tumblr..

Tw mental health stuff, general health stuff, transphobia, relationship drama.

So happy Pride Month... it's nearly over, I know.. but oh well. Like a lot of people are saying, this pride month feels different.. less safe.. I came out as nonbinary to my family last year and started socially transitioning and I have known I was pansexual since 14.... so this stuff kinda hits hard.,

Even being in Canada it's scary seeing all this hate.. it's not as bad here.. but haha.. I happen to live in Alberta.. half the population here is homophobic, godfearing, truckers, cowboys, and farmers.... so I feel a sense of danger every time I'm open about it..

I went to a parade in my town.. we have a yearly event in June.. it's not pride.. but I kinda treat it as a form of pride.. I wore my pronoun pin badge I bought shortly after I came out. One of the town four churches has a Vacation Bible School program and a woman who is a pastor's wife always every year comes up to me and tells me she wants me to volunteer to help them out and kinda forces me to take an info packet....

Yeah.. this year she looked directly at my pin badge and talked to my parents instead basically pretending I didn't exist which was kinda funny and a huge relief.. hope this stops her from bothering me In the future... I did notice a few people look at it as well and like body block their child... which was so stupid.. istg conservatives think we're the boogeyman or some shit. Also kept getting misgendered... some lady who knew me from my childhood says "oh you've grown into such a beautiful young lady" and I straight up felt ill..

Anyway.. during that event my mother had a medical emergency.. she had a mini stroke.. my mom was very confused wasn't aware of her surroundings.. she's normally super resistant to going to the hospital and will fight you.. but she was so confused she got up, got her shoes on and got into the car and walked into the hospital without a fight...later she nearly punched me in the face while we were trying to hold her down so the nurses could get an IV in.. (they don't have daytime security at the local hospital and they don't have restraints) she said she doesn't remember any of it..,

As for my relationship.. I still have a boyfriend.. he's been pretty busy with work though.. his boss moved him to a super inconvenient schedule 3pm to 9pm.. every single day, no days off..

He's also had so much trouble with his car that it's not even funny. It's all been the coolant.. he thinks he's fixed it though so.. I'm hoping that won't be an issue as much.

So it's been hard for us (especially me.., because.. like my last relationship ended shortly after my ex couldn't make it out to see me.., he did finally admit it was excuses so.. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was afraid of that happening again) but we're enduring it.. he's a sweetheart and has been making time to talk to me after work almost every night until he gets too tired to continue..

It helps a lot.. he makes me feel wanted and he is trying his best to make it work so we can see eachother in person 😊he'll be coming out tomorrow morning and staying until 1pm.. we only get 2 hrs together but it's fine.. any amount of time with him that I get is worth it.

I promised him one day if he's able to visit for longer we'll watch Heathers: The Musical and get slushies... mountain dew, cherry or lime flavored ofc (iykyk) he's into that idea thankfully lol..

it's a requirement that everyone in my life watches Heathers at least once... I've seen it so many times I could almost recite the entire thing... 🤭

But that's all for now, when I get the motivation I will write requests!

Team effort

Sunstream ventures into the suspect's house on her own, revealing a new unexpected power while Charge, Sentinel, and Steel provide backup. Meanwhile, Anathema and Sidestep meet up with Linda Goodman to arrange the trade. ***I didn't post these in the correct order, you can see the correct order on the link below, or read it on my AO3 -------------------------

Joels It makes you roll your eyes that they would just add an L and call it a day after the LDPD closed their previous establishment. The bar offers diamante masks for anyone not already wearing one, a common courtesy in some of the old-fashioned villain bars. You politely reject the bouncer offering one, since the mask Anathema asked you to wear already covers all of your head. Anathema also refuses, wearing the second horse-head mask they were carrying in their bag. Themmy’s is black and hairy with a small pink hat on top, while is white with a rainbow-colored unicorn horn. 

“I really like these,” you say, pondering on how would you go around making it practical for a suit. 

“Thanks. They’re leftovers from the last pride.”

“Pride?” you ask, confused. 

“Eh?”

“Oh, right… the parade,” you say quickly, catching the thought fast enough to cover for your ignorance. “Where are we supposed to seat?”

“There” Themmy points out to a table on the far corner. “It’s reserved.”

The decor and music here are more vintage than Joes, but the bar has the same feel to it. And of course, there are Joes everywhere waiting tables and manning the bar, making your skin crawl when you remember them shooting you. Anathema promised they’d act as a human shield if need be, but you know it could get ugly if Joes figure who you are. Their Invulnerability can’t protect you from a dozen attackers. 

The two of you make your way to the table without causing much more than a glance at the colorful masks, and Themmy orders some fries. 

“She should be here in a few minutes. ---------

You give them a single nod, looking for all the exits and scanning to see who might be a treat, as you wait. 

“There’s Goodman!” Anathema announces after a few minutes pass, their mask looking at the woman by the door, also wearing a horse-head mask, this one brown, heading for your table. “Wow. Nice detail with the masks.” 

“I knew it would make us easier to identify each other.” You scan at her mind directly now, quickly realizing that the core of her thoughts is protected. Familiar… you’ve definitely felt this woman’s mind before, and… 

No, you have to be wrong… She can’t be… Is she…? (!!!!) “She’s Husk,” you whisper as the false Linda Goodman approaches “WHAT?” Anathema gasps.

“I’m telling you that’s not Linda Goodman. It’s Husk taking her shape, I know that mind! What do we do?” “Oh shit! Shit shit shit….” Themmy lets out. “Alright… we have to arrest her then? We need to capture her first.” they ponder, as Husk takes a seat in front of you. “Good evening gentleme…-.” Husk’s words are cut off by the electric blast making them twitch and fall back limp on the chair. “Done!” you tell Anathema, making sure anyone looking dismisses the sudden movement. “… the fuck?” Themmy asks, confused, looking between the twitching Linda Goodman and the smoking energy gun in your hand, still pointing at her under the tablecloth. There’s a trick to shooting someone before they notice, a trick the farm taught you well. “What did you do?”

“You told me to capture her?”

“I didn’t mean here you moron! How are we going to arrest her in a villain bar!” their whispering gets louder and louder.

“I don’t know!” you whisper back, cursing yourself for being an idiot. “I’m sorry!” “Alright... Alright. Let’s... Let’s pretend she’s drunk or something..? And walk out with her and make the arrest outside.”

“Drunk? But she just got here?” you point out

“Got any better ideas?”

“No”

“Then help!” 

“Alright… I’ll just try to make people not look at us.” Themmy starts standing up, grasping for Linda…? No, Husks hand… And against all odds, she breaks free, springing to life like a viper and running for the door, faster than any human should be able to. 

“After her!” Anathema hisses hiss, jumping over the fallen chair, you following closely behind, gun in hand as you topple a Joes over, the one that was bringing your fries to the ground.

All you can think about is how your handlers would NOT be amused about this fuckup of yours. —------------------------------

“You guys said this was going to be subtle!” Sunstream complains through her intercom. 

“You’re doing fine. We support you!” Charge encourages on her earphones quickly enough. 

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” Sunstream lets out an irritated grunt as she lands on the other side of the fence. 

“Hey, you volunteered, miss!” Sentinel argues. “You’re the one who said we should draw sticks, and that we never let you get your hands dirty with stealth missions.” 

“Yes, but I didn’t know I was going to be breaking and entering!” 

“Don’t break anything then?” Steel suggests, mildly amused. 

“I hate all of you so much.” She grumbles, making her way through the bushes to the vicinity of the front door. 

“You are approaching the cameras” Sentinel points out. “It’s time to do your thing.”

“Alright, I’m going bright. Look away” she replied.  

Sentinel lowered his dark goggles, and even that was barely enough to cover from the incoming flash, even behind the van’s tinted glass.

“Shit, that’s bright.”  

“Told ya. No way the cameras will pick anything but white while I pick the lock.

“Well remind me to wear sunscreen next time,” Sentinel said, rubbing his eyes.  

The flash died down and disappeared as the door closed again. 

“I’m in,” she replied. “Please tell me Goodman isn’t coming back home.”

“Steel?” Sentinel asked.

“Still driving her Pontiac, heading downtown. I’m following at a distance… there are no signs of her turning back.”

“Good.”

“If anything happens, I’ll cut the power and come get you out,” Charge said, from his hiding spot,  covering the back doo. near the fuse box.

“Thanks, mom, but I can handle myself,” she replied as sarcastic as she could deliver, taking a few steps forward into the unfamiliar living room. 

“Focus. If this person is involved with Husk, then she’s a menace and it could get dangerous fast.” 

“If she drives a Pontiac even with all of those native-American protests going that already makes her a menace, right?” “What do you see?” Sentinel asked, rubbing his temples behind the van’s monitors, ignoring her comment.

The question would go unanswered for several tense minutes. 

“Sunny?”

“I hate to disappoint, but I don’t see piles of corpses or living husks hooked to the ceiling like you said there would be, Marshal Sparkles.” 

“Husk wouldn’t be so obvious in the middle of a residential area. This isn’t a sewage tunnel like last time,” Sentinel spoke, suddenly wishing he hadn’t, the revolting memories come back to his mind. 

“This woman is classy. Wish my apartment looked half this good.”

“Focus,” Sentinel repeated. 

“I am focused! Moving to the corridor… aaaand…”

“…”

“...and?” Charge asks, again the impatient one. 

“And her bathroom has a bidet. I’m telling you guys, this is really upper-crust!”

Sentinel resisted the urge to curse at these kids as Charge laughed heartily on the other end. 

“She’s stopping her car by a bar… she came out, and now… she’s looking for something in her trunk?” Steel pointed out

“Just a random bar?” Charge asked.

“It’s called Joels.”

“What kind of name is Joels?” 

“I’m not going in to find out”

“The kitchen is nice too. I’m headed into the bedrooms.”

“I think there’s something fishy in that bar…”

“Keep the channel silent for Sunny and Steel, would you?” Sentinel interjected. “Sorry.” Charge said. “You can take your time, she’s not returning soon.” Steel said. “Left her car around the corner… I’ll park closer to the front door to see  when she comes out.”

“Alright, bedroom number one is… very weird.” Sunstream continued.

“Weird how?” Sentinel asked. 

“Many posters… and there are CDs everywhere. She must be a real fan of the Blue Guys Group!.” 

“The band?” Charge asked, confused

“Yeah, and these tattoo designs are just sick good…”

“When I said take your time, I didn’t mean check out her music!” Steel interrupted.

“Alright, alright! I’m moving to the next room.”

“Thank you.”

“Geez, I’m just looking for clues here…”

“We can discuss what bands Linda Goodman likes later.”

“Whatever, it’s not like you guys appreciate a…” She interrupted herself abruptly, letting out a sudden yelp.

“Are you ok?” Sentinel asked. “Come in Sunny!!!” “That’s it, I’m going in” Charge let out after a couple of seconds passed, standing up and opening the fuse-box, ready to fry the circuit.

“No, wait. I’m fine” Sunstream voiced from her end

“Shit don’t scare us like that!” Charge complained.   

 “What did you find?”

“Steel… are you 100% sure you’re following Linda Goodman?” Sunstream asked. 

“Positive. It’s definitely her, I even took pictures of her going into the bar.”

“Thing is… I’m standing right next to Linda Goodman as well.”

They all went silent, as the thing they were all fearing became a reality. 

“Describe her for us,” Sentinel asked calmly.

“She’s in pretty bad shape… drained I don’t know what’s wrong with her…There are bruises everywhere, I think she’s unconscious…? She’s attached to a machine, I think it’s a respirator?”

“This confirms it. It’s what Husk does. They’re a shapechanger but they can’t take someone’s appearance without constant access to the base DNA. If she’s hooked to medical machines then there’s no telling how  long Husk has been replacing her for…” Sentinel pondered

“Don’t touch anything!” Charge warned

“Uh...oh.” 

“What do you mean ‘oh’ ?” the Marshal asked

“I tried to see if she was awake… and I think I… triggered something?” 

“Something like what?”

“An alarm…?”

“Get Goodman and come out of there right now!” Sentinel spoke in an urgent tone. 

“Gotcha!” Sunstream huffed, seconds before as a large explosion shook the house, quickly putting the whole building in flames. 

—

“Mierda!!!!” Charge let out a frustrated cry, taking a few steps back from the heat coming from the house. “Mierda, this is my fault! it, I’m coming in, I'm getting Sunny out!!”

But a blast blew up the back door before he could, Suntream jumping out of the raging inferno,  carrying the unconscious woman past a shocked Charge. 

“SHIT! ... I fucked up!” She yelled, still shielding Goodman with her body as she moved her away. 

“She’s alive!” said Charge feeling her pulse. “Sentinel, call an ambulance” 

“Already did Marshal”. 

“I shouldn't have…” 

“Stop it. You didn’t fuck it up, Sunny you just saved this woman. "I did?"  "Definitely did... mierda that was a close call, are you alri...-? Eh... you never told us you were fireproof?" “I… didn’t know?” Sunstream said looking at herself, only now realizing she didn’t even have a scratch on her. 

“Well, now you know and it's perfect! Now stay with her until the ambulance arrives, I’m going for my motorbike.”

“Alright, I’ll do it!” she said, slapping her own cheeks, trying to get herself back in the game.

“Suspect is coming out of the bar! On the run!” 

“That’s definitely Husk and we tipped them off!.”

“I’ll be there in a second Steel!” Sentinel said, walking out of the van to take off “Just don’t lose that bastard.” 

“I’m going to cut them on foot, stand between them and the car” “Don’t let them get away guys!” Sunstream said while holding the real Linda Goodman in her arms. “... what the…” Steel grunted, confused “There’s a crazy guy in a horse mask chasing Husk with an energy gun… wait no! Two crazies in horse masks!” “Say again?” “Husk just stole a motorbike! I’m getting back to my car!” --------------------- My Fanfiction: https://chaniters.tumblr.com/post/181692759294/my-fanfiction-for-fallen-hero DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fan fiction using characters and the setting of the Fallen Hero: Rebirth and upcoming Fallen Hero: Retribution games written by Malin Riden.

[kanmom51]

I have been reading you for long time, what’s your opinion on nowadays jikook relationship? Did you notice the change? Do you think they are still couple? Do they maybe have now time off for some time to figure out stuff? Several months ago you did post that was quite popular where you made conclusion “TKK are simply not a thing, while JKK clearly are a couple” @ because Tae forgot that JK did 2 hour vlive (he even commented during it but simply forgot). Now Jungkook forgot or didn’t know (it’s unlike, I think he saw it maybe for bride second but just brushed it as if it was unimportant information in his brain) where Jimin’s new tattoo is. How is this situation different from what you initially thought about tk one? Isn’t the conclusion should be the same?

You seem angry, lol.

And from your ask I guess you are also sure that JK and JM are no longer together.

Funny how JK seems to have had his JM tattoo just touched up (just the JM, those two specific letters).

Before I get into JK’s Vlive, you ask me what I think the status of their relationship is now days.

My answer to you is that I think they are fine and dandy. I think they are as in love as ever and their long term relationship is as strong as it has ever been.

Seeing their interactions in LV, JK being super loud not only on his IG stories or his Vlive, but also during the concerts and the Vlive Hobi, Tae, JM and JK had.

Only to mention a very few of said words/actions/interactions:  JK’s “keep being jealous I’ll keep holding JM, blblblblb”, JK’s description of JM hugging him with a big ass smile on his face, JK’s ass grab, JK saying “love you” to JM (I do think he thought the mic was off and we weren’t going to hear that one, that it was for JM’s ears only, oopsy), JK’s heart finger for JM, JK carrying JM, their interactions, their utter happiness around each other.

And if you were maybe thinking something happened after they got back, just maybe, then you have the pre-recordings happening just days ago telling us just the same - they are still drawn to each other, their interactions still same old Jikook interactions.

It’s like every single time we don’t get to see them there is this wave of insecurity, and “JK doesn’t look at JM the same”, “JK isn’t all over JM”, “JK doesn’t live JM anymore” (funny how it’s always JK the one not wanting JM anymore, isn’t it?).  JM and JK are super private people.  When they are off camera they want to be off camera.  Not to mention, and I am sick and tired of having to mention this yet again, being a closeted queer couple in an unaccepting society, with a very negative climate at the moment (have you seen what’s been going on with the Seoul pride parade?).  But the second they are back in front of the camera they just cannot hide it, and every single time said rumours are proven wrong. 

So no, I don’t think there is anything wrong with their relationship.  They are, as I said, fine and dandy.

Now to the Vlive:

I haven't seen the live. And definitely not translated, so I'm living on what you are writing and bits and pieces of information about what was said.

Do I have to remind you that we are talking about a friendship tattoo, one that all of the members have had done or are going to have done?

One that so far both NJ and Hobi have shown us themselves!

And JIn also referred to his, almost showing it to us too.

As for JM, from photos it seems that JM might have had it done on his left hand...

He hasn’t told us though.

You say that JK "didn't know where JM's friendship tattoo is", but that’s not what JK said though.  As far as I understand JK mentioned RM’s, Hobi’s and Jin’s tattoos.  And then went “and where did Jimin hyung get his one again?”

So 3 members who have basically revealed their tattoos already and the fourth, JM, who hasn’t just yet.  JM who is a private person.  JM who will be the one to decide when and where to reveal it to us.

This isn’t JK’s story to tell us.  It’s JM’s.  And JK not telling us is him respecting that.

As it being a friendship tattoo JM isn’t hiding the tattoo from the others,  they know about it, he’s told them.  It’s not something JK would know about because of bf privileges.  

If we saw the tattoo already, granted by accident, but none the less, I can assure you that the rest of the members, all of them, have seen it already and know exactly where JM had it done.  Boyfriends or not, lol.  So even if JK was not romantically involved with JM he would know where said tattoo is.  Do you get that?  I hope you do.

Hence, JK not divulging where the tattoo is has zero to do with the question if they are a couple or not, and I do hope you’re not even hinting to JM and JK not being friends enough for JK to be one of those to know where JM’s tattoo is.  You aren’t, right?  Because even if you are hinting in your ask to believing they are no longer a couple, you wouldn’t be going down the path of them not being friends.  Nah-ah.  Nope.  

Btw JM himself kind of hinted to where his tattoo will be during the festa dinner.  Telling us where he would like to have it done...

At the end not the pinky, but definitely on the inside.

So JK not telling us about JM’s tattoo is not about him not knowing where it is.  This is about JK realising this isn’t his story to tell us, respecting JM and letting him be the one to tell and show us the tattoo.

Those are my thoughts.  Take them or leave them.

"Why would you come out as non-binary"

Well you see! The way that our society is structured means that - even if I'm the most GNC person in the room - people will just guess a gender, either male or female, and then I correct them. Even, the most well-meaning of allies and, occasionally, even other binary trans people also do this, as such this is the little dance I have been locked into for the rest of my life.

Due to practicing mindfulness and a touch of self-love, I've realised that if I've been indoctrinated into a new group of friends it's good to get that out of the way early on: "Hey, I'm Adryn, I use they/them pronouns." As opposed to being misgendered until I dissacociate; because presuming people are going to immediately be assholes can drain a person a lot more than they think.

This has benefits for many reasons:

Means I don't have a miserable, dysphoria-filled evening

When I end up running into these people again (rural communities are small) they already know my pronouns

Normalises non-binary genders within the local community so the baby queers don't have to worry so much

Cishets or Cis LGB folk get to ask questions if they want, it can get tiring but two friends of mine are men in their 80s who would have been scared to ask people they knew less well and I've learned so much from them both :)

If folk ARE assholes about it then I know immediately and I don't have to waste my time on them ✌

Baby queers come find me in the pub ('cos word gets around) so I can help folk if they're having issues with anything

I went to my first pride parade this year and didn't pay for a single goddamn drink myself 😎

Now, due to my horrible transphobic mother this has been a slow learning curve of literally five years and counting. So it's a slow process and I don't think one anon in my inbox is going to change that.

In fact, I'm hosting another poetry event in an hour and a half and I think I'll wear a few pronoun pins 🎵

Momo X Female Reader

A/N: Guess who's back after 3 months XD, ha

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a lesbian brought about many more problems than you were anticipating. For starters your dad was super supportive of you, he bought you cringy LGBTQ merch that you wore proudly because there were many children and adults still in the closet unable to freely express themselves. He made sure to go to every pride parade each year, made sure you were comfortable, and defended you against every and all homophobes. Hell, he ran a bunch of them over with his truck at one of the anti-gay rallies and it was only because he was best friends with the Chief of Police that he wasn't in prison. He made the news and everything become quite famous amongst the LGBTQ+ community. He became a spokesman at events and everything in between. Unfortunately, you couldn't say the same thing to your mother. She was one of those Christians that believed every single thing in the bible and would use it against you. You guessed her missing church on Sundays, and eating meat on Fridays just wasn't applicable to her. Neither were all her piercings and two tattoos and dyed hair. I guess it only applies if you're gay because 'God made man and woman procreate or something like that. You weren't too fond of the Christian bible anyway.

"Y/N-chan?" You were brought out of your musings turning to look at your girlfriend Momo. You still couldn't imagine how she ended up choosing you over men. Well, not really that was a debatable topic considering some men were okay. Your dad set the bar pretty damn high for what you would expect in a man so a lot of men disappointed you in the blink of an eye. 

"Yes, babe?" You grabbed her hand kissing her palm gently loving how flushed her cheeks got every time you did that. In the beginning, you used to also enjoy making Jirou jealous since Momo rejected her and, on one side you felt bad because rejections are always hard to get over but, on the other hand, you were happy because that means you had a chance. You took a chance and to your utter surprise she had a crush on you and that was the reason why she rejected Jirou. Fast forward to a year later during the second year of U.A the two of you were still going on strong with no sign of relationship strain.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the beach?" You went through a few emotions. One, you were ecstatic because you enjoyed going to the beach, two you were going to see your beautiful girlfriend in a bikini, third other people were going to see her but, that was fine since you were the only one that could touch and enjoy her. Plus, you can fight. 

"That would be nice! We are going today?" At her affirmative nod, you moved your face to kiss her lightly before pulling away. "I'm going to go get ready!" You went to move but, she grabbed your hand to draw your attention 

"I know you don't like bikinis but, um....can you wear the pretty yellow one? I really like it on you." She was too sweet for this world. You smiled gently nodding yes loving the way her eyes lit up with glee. You left her to go to your room to get ready. You took a breath and packed up your beach bag with a towel, umbrella, snacks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and some clothes. You grabbed other necessities, threw on your bathing suit underneath your shorts and shirt, and left. You made it downstairs seeing everyone was ready including Momo. You saw her talking with Denki and Kirishima. You didn't mind besides Kirishima was gayer than the rainbow and Denki was a pansexual mess. The only one you were wary of was Mineta and Jirou. You hated Mineta and you just didn't like the way that Jirou would still be all touchy-feely with Momo but, thankfully Momo defended herself and knew when to draw boundaries. That's why she was a Queen. 

"YOU WANNA FUCKING GO ICY HOT." You rolled your eyes at the shenanigans that always happen with the Pomeranian. That was the class cue to go. Everyone filed out and there were separate conversations with you in the back with Bakugo. Somehow, the two of you always ended up in the back. 

"So, when are you going to stop pussyfooting and ask out Todoroki." You side-eyed him quickly adding "Unless you want everyone to find out what we talking about I suggest you be quiet. Unless quiet isn't in your vocabulary." In a way your snark was to get back at him for being mean to people but, in his book that made you cool as fuck and he always managed to squirm his way into your presence to ask for advice, sparring, food, or whatever else. He will never admit you are his gay bestie. Denki would have a fit if he did and so would his pride.

"What the hell makes you think he will agree." At least he stopped faking 80 percent of the time around you. 

"Everyone knows you and Kirishima have the hots for both him and Izuku. The four of you would make the most chaotic poly, or quadruple, couple but still manageable. I wouldn't say it if I didn't think Shoto wasn't on the same page. He's just awkward like the rest of you." The little shit hissed at you but, said nothing but looked away. 

"You better be fucking right princess." That was the nicest nickname he has ever used on you, it had you shaken. You glanced over at him but, he refused to look back your way meaning the conversation was over. In about 20 minutes everyone made it to the beach and, it wasn't that packed. There were people but, the whole class was able to set up and get comfy. You chose a spot where you can get into the water and watch your stuff. 

"Come on babe! Let's go." You turned as Momo tugged you towards the water. You looked and saw she had that cutout neon pink swimsuit you loved. It had a plunging neckline and slits on the sides allowing you to see her squish. Yes, she was squishy and you'll be damned to let anyone say otherwise or make her feel bad.

"Ah man, if I knew there was going to be this many tits I would have come sooner." You looked over to your right and of course, it had to be three grown-ass men ogling every single woman. Damn you knew they didn't get any ever. 

"I love the big ones." You heard the second guy snort 

"Big tits, small tits, perky tits, saggy tits, what's the difference? Tits are tits." You were still disgusted even though he didn't discriminate. You looked forward back to the Ocean to see Momo coming back towards you looking upset. It had to be Mineta. You looked behind her and saw Shoji tossing Mineta back and forth with the other taking turns to dunk him. You knew it. 

"Look at the size of them on her. Holy shit." You felt a vein on your neck appear and an eye twitch. Momo moves your beautiful ass quicker. 

"Baby, you would not believe what the hell just happened-" Before she can finish you both turned at the sound of gagging.

"Did you just call her babe? That's fucking gross. What the hell can she do for you? You just haven't been with a real man, that's all. This is all a phase." They stepped closer causing you to activate your quirk. 

"Woah, easy there tiger. No harm, no foul. We are just stating a fact. How can a woman know how to please a woman? How you're going to give her children? You can't do none of that without a man-" You cut him off with a fierce uppercut. He was running his mouth so much he didn't even see your hands flying. 

"No wonder a woman wouldn't look in any of your directions. All you see women as are objects and breeders. Who the fuck raised you? Did your mom love you? Did your fathers love your mothers? I don't think so because none of that would have ever come out of your mouth. Be real. This is the future, women don't need a man that'll burst in 2 minutes and can't even get her off." You went to stomp off but through over your shoulder "SHE IS A MINOR AND YOU ARE SEXUALLY HARASSING HER." That got the attention of everyone around them and now they were being pressed. Good. As they should be. You kept walking towards the water and once inside you felt arms wrapped around you from behind. 

"Don't you ever let their words get to you. Ever. You're all I ever need. You help me emotionally, mentally, verbally, physically, and sexually. You offer so much more than a man let alone those pigs could ever offer...Besides." She squeezed you and turned you around with a smirk "Strap-ons come in different sizes and colors." Your jaw dropped as she sweetly smiled, pecked your cheek, and pulled you back more into the water. Whoever is listening to you, just know she was going to kill you.

Hoped you guys liked it! It's good to be back as well

| a/n: first time doing a fic on tumblr, heh. enjoy. :)

| word count: 1,519

| pairing: Ryomen Sukuna x reader

| tw: character death, and blood.

Curse. 

Demon. 

Abomination. 

King of Destruction. 

The Ruler of All Curses. 

He's heard it all, and has taken it in with great pride. A wicked grin on his face as he wrecked any kind of havoc he could. Most of it out of pure boredom. 

But that was centuries ago. 

Now he resides in his domain, in the mind of a young boy he's taking as a vessel. Since who else in their right mind would casually eat one of his fingers? This was certainly the best he could get, along with that. This boy, Yuuji Itadori, was probably the most compatible person he's come across. 

The rest died. 

Sitting on a throne of skull and bones, Ryomen Sukuna was lost in thought now. Taking trips back down memory lane that dates back to over five hundred years ago. Probably landing him at the age of five hundred years old, or maybe four hundred and ninety-nine years. Who knows? He doesn't care for the age, just the person that occupied his time back then. Before his fingers were scattered off to the winds, labeled as special grade curses. The most dangerous things deemed on the face of the planet. 

" Sukuna! " 

It was like he could almost hear their voice again. Playing aloud in the back of his mind, as almost if they were still with him. Vividly and clear, as if you were right behind him. 

" You did this to me! You are what they say! " 

Brows furrowing as one memory in particular started to play like a movie in his mind. His fist clenching at the thought, the leg that was crossed over the other started swaying back and forth. Black claw like fingernails rapping and tapping against his leg. He wanted to forget, but he also wanted to remember. The look of fear on your face that day, burned permanently into his mind.

It couldn't seem to ever leave him. 

_______________________

" My dear, are you going to wake up at all today? It's nearly noon! " 

A top and bottom ruby red eye opened to take in the appearance of the one disturbing his slumber. A slow sleepy like grin adorned his face once he saw, an arm reaching out to drag them down to join him in the plush sheets. Their resistance was futile, as all it took was one gentle tug in his own strength to bring them down. Four arms reaching out to cage them close to his chest. A hand in their hair, two around their waist, as the last one rested on the small of their back. The demon hummed contently, curling around his adoring lover. Their small squeaks of protest to get up was falling on deaf ears, a chuckle rumbling from the deepest pits of his chest. 

" What's the rush? Let me enjoy this. Leaving that wretched village behind, nothing is stopping me. " 

This was wrong, he was so vulnerable at this point. 

As their head popped up, with a pouting glare to meet his smirking features. Crimson red eyes clashing with e/c orbs, they had to be his favorite shade of the color. 

" Stop staring like that. It's weird. " 

" I might be a curse, but I know when to stop and appreciate things. " 

Though it seemed like he didn't stop enough to appreciate anything. His pride started to overtake his being, wanting to cause more destruction and chaos that the world has ever seen. Of course it didn't sit right with you, it never did. Never when he came back, sometimes covered head to toe in blood. Dragging in behind a new souvenir, the chaotic outbursts that came along with everything else. Tied off into some gorgeous, yet twisted bow, and handed to you like a birthday gift. 

" I can't keep doing this. " 

Stopping Sukuna dead in his tracks, a brow being arched to show his confused state. 

" Can't keep doing what? " 

" Being in love with a demon. " 

One, ouch. Two, what? Why speak up now of all times? You knew what he did, yet stayed silent with him the entire time. Like what the cursed man did was of any hindrance in this. It must be an off day, or clearly he misheard. 

Oh how he wished it was that. 

" Look at this! Look at you, yes you're a demon sent straight from the depths of hell. Yes, you do whatever it is you want. " 

Where was this going? 

" But I can't sit here and be apart of this! I was already shunned by my people for just saying ' I love you ', I've tried to ignore what you've been doing for so long. But I can't, Sukuna. I can't! You parade the innocent towns for nothing, not a drop of revenge, or anything against them. Just wake up one day and choose this sicking, maddening violence! " 

" Where is this goi--? " 

" I'm leaving. " 

It was quiet enough to hear a pin drop, all four eyes he adorned started to narrow and glare harshly at your figure. As if he was searching for a hidden message behind this. 

" Say that again. " 

" I said. I'm leaving you. " 

Like hell you were that day. This might just be a phase, something you'd get over in the meantime. What the humans would call these days, ' a misunderstanding between couples. ' 

" No. " 

" What? What do you mean no? You can't make a decision like tha--! " 

" No. You're not leaving me, you are to remain here. " 

His voice was increasing, he could remember the small hunted traces of fear in your eyes as he took his steps forward. Causing you to take a few steps back, which he had no care for. 

He remembers the screaming, yelling, breaking of a few small and meaningless objects. 

Though what he vividly remembers was, once being close enough, one of his arms shot out and a hand grabbing your face. Black nails gently leaving indents prickling into your s/c skin, his harsh words that soon brought tears to the colorful eyes he used to love so. 

Out of his fit of rage and this argument going on for how long it did, Sukuna's grip did tighten. Ignoring the protests of him hurting you escaping from your lips. Something just snapped inside of Sukuna, from angered yelling and screaming, to now just seeing red. Red was somewhat of a favorite color to him, how the blood drips from a corpse. Or how it pools from under one, didn't even matter who it came from. 

For this time, of course it did. That same red from the trigger for him to kill, murder, destroy all before him. Sadly, it was you. 

Nails digging into your cheeks, your hands on his wrist trying to pry him away was not enough. Weak against him, nothing against him, futile against him. It was enough to show the signs of prey struggling to stay alive once they know that they've been cornered by their predators. As his nails dug into your skin, blood started dripping along with the mix of tears from pure fear running down the nail. Coating it this coat of red with a shining clear. 

That was taken as another sign, go in for the kill. As all signs were evident and shown, Ryomen Sukuna did. The sickening crack of a neck being broken filled the air, followed by a dead silence as he came back to his senses. The curse pulled away, as if his hand was being burned. Your body hitting the floor with a thud, the culprit standing and staring right over it. No emotion on his face, no looks of being teary eyed or angered. 

This would be the first time Ryomen Sukuna felt numb and powerless. A first in  where he didn't know what to do, a first for everything there was. 

Nudging your body with his foot, Sukuna was not ready to accept the fact that he's done this. Quick to deny it and shut it down. 

Denying how the spark left your shining eyes.

Denying how the red blood that dripped from the small cuts in your skin was of his doing. 

Denying that you were dead.

He's never disliked the color red so much before now. It took years for him to finally stop lying to himself and accept the faults. 

He killed his love, and he knows it oh so well now. 

_____________________________

Resting in his domain, still have not shed a single tear. Not even on that day, nor the next day after that, or the next day after that. Sukuna roamed around with the knowledge of him doing such a deed. 

What would it have mattered right? Your lifespan would not have lifted up to his, still. 

He had no right to take it. 

" Are you happy with yourself? King of Curses? " 

It was like he could still hear you. Taunting him, throwing him off balance. The one life he wishes that he didn't take.  Though, you can never change the past. 

With all the cursed magic running through him. 

Ryomen Sukuna sometimes wishes he could.

Loki's experience with Earth's acceptance

Relationships: Loki & Tony, Loki & Avengers

Warnings: Homophobia, smoking, awful mental health, mentions [of screen] of child abuse and mentions [of screen] of self harm.

Summary: Loki makes a grave mistake, pays for this vicious crime

Notes: I swear, this was supposed to be fluff. Also, this is the non Reader pride fic. Happy pride y'all!

AO3

Loki had been compromised.

They didn't kill anyone, didn't hurt any avengers and didn't rejoin the dark side. No, Loki's crime was much worse.

Loki had the nerve to appear on a local pride parade.

And he hated every single moment of it.

People first were kind when recognizing them, asking questions and generous to chat. Loki had all the energy to chat back. Then, the shit started.

Some recognized the ace and aro flags Loki had painted on their cheeks and the genderfluid one they were using as a cape on their suit (as well as the rainbow infinity symbol on a pin). They started yelling curses, spitting and pushing. Yelling that he's not oppressed because he passes (he's invisible) and because he was raised with privileges (that managed to scar him deeply and never stops to cause issues) or that he's not even real, that he's just a cishet trying to slither in.

Loki was raised a royalty by Odin, they have mastered the art of ignoring insults.

So, instead of yelling about love and acceptance, Loki spent the pride with other people who were getting attacked. Some, like him, were attacked for not having the right identity, some even for not being white or skinny. Well, good thing this is a pride parade…

Some people were willing to hang out with Loki for a bit, talk (or vent) about the hypocrisy of this behaviour, and then they decided to either stay or leave. But some moved away and yelled at Loki to get lost, reminding them that they would not understand because they're white (more like so heavily whitewashed that they hate both their birth form and the illusion, since one is a monster and one is a reminder of a lie) or not fat enough to understand (they're still trying hard not to binge-eat everything containing protein and work themselves to exhaustion in hope of some muscle). Loki was just apologizing and wishing a good day.

Three hours is the most Loki lasted before heading home, once again disappointed by this planet.

Three hours were enough for paparazzi to take countless pictures of Loki with his flags, and flood the internet with them.

Some people, more than the ones on the parade, were talking about how happy they are to see someone being queer and with the influence Loki has and how just Loki's existence makes them feel better for their own identity. Loki wishes to hug every one of them, and thank them for their words.

Yet, all the events where Loki was invited demanded their resignation, many articles were nothing but gossip and rumours, many people were outraged. The messages of sympathy were soon outnumbered by the slurs and threats, feeling like a punch and hitting so close to home. Loki, on a rush of thoughts, deactivated the accounts and unplugged the TV. When Tony realized, he rushed to Loki's room to demand answers. Instead, he offered comfort when he saw Loki's state, too close to slipping down to a path they fought hard to get away from.

And Tony did manage to stop Loki from going down that road again, mostly with distractions. Until the next day.

"I know this is too much to ask, but I need a favour," he starts. Loki scoffs, tossing some ash away from their cigarette before taking a long sip. So much for quitting, but at least smoking is something they can quit with ease and leaves fewer scars behind.

"I will regret this, but go on," they sigh and tilt their head, letting their fingers fidget with the bedsheets.

"Tomorrow, there's a press release held in the tower. Of course, you can come, but you don't have to if you're not ready yet. I just want you to plug back the TV and watch it, please," and there is the bomb. Loki sighs again.

"It's already plugged in, Bob Ross is quite therapeutic… But, I will think about it, I'm not making any promise," they hum, trying to keep their voice steady and failing. Tony relaxes, even though the answer he took wasn't the one he wished for. Perhaps, he was expecting worse.

"Bob Ross, huh?" he asks instead, his leg bouncing.

"Yes, he's relaxing. And a sweet man," they nod. "I tried Mr Rogers as well, but he didn't hit the same way," they draw another deep inhale, yet more laid back this time.

"I see. At least this Mr Rogers doesn't rant about freedom and liberty," Tony grins like the idiot he is.

Something between a laugh and a cough escapes from Loki, their hand covering their mouth but letting the smoke flow between their fingers. They try to laugh without choking for a few seconds, until the airway is clean enough to allow the usual giggles. And of course, Tony offers this self-satisfied smile.

Because as much as he loves making Loki laugh like an idiot during the worst possible moments, he loves cheering them up when feeling like shit. And, since Loki is indeed an idiot, they had to work a lot to accept Tony's company.

"I hate you, Edward," they groan, their voice still rough. Tony smiles, and keeps up with the jokes for as long as possible.

Loki, in fact, did not think at all about whether they'll watch the press conference or not. But Friday woke them up around the time it starts, so Loki decided to have a little noise while taking their cup of tea.

Until the Avengers entered the screen.

Tony was wearing a bi flag as a cape, on his cheeks and forehead writing "ADHD", "PTSD", and "Abuse Survivor", as well as the same neurodivergence pin Loki has. Loki rubs their eyes, sure they're somehow still asleep. But Tony's not the only one dressed up. Steve, with the graysexual flag and the words PTSD, Immigrant and Veteran follows, smiling and waving at the cameras. Bucky had the Achillean flag, also listing some of his trauma on his face. Bruce had the gay flag, Natasha the aro (both identifying as child abuse survivors as well).

Sam was also wearing a bi flag with his military suit, the one he swore he'll never wear after his co-pilot's death. Clint had the demi flag and was holding his hearing aids, Wanda had her pan flag and her Romani dress, the star of David and the flag of Sokovia painted in her face. Even Thor and Peter joined the masker party, with the nonbinary and trans flag and Thor writing his pronouns on his forehead and the acronyms NPD and ASD on his cheeks, also bearing the pin, Peter mimicking the pronouns but writing just ASD and Orphan. And then, Tony winked at the camera.

Loki can't stop shaking and crying, but also smiling at the view. They don't think before walking past the now broken cup and towards the bathroom, using the mirror to write some of their own "weaknesses" on their face (after managing the tears). They quickly choose the "Child Abuse Survivor" for the forehead and acronyms BPD and ASD for the cheeks, but it's not enough. Afterwards, they carefully change to a short-sleeved shirt, using the hands to write some more (without covering their scars). Then, after making their genderfluid flag also one third asexual and one third aromatic, they drop the Æsir illusion and run to the room where the conference is held.

Loki can hear people asking questions and cameras snapping, but it gets louder when they walk in. They smile and don’t give a fuck about how obvious the last crying session is. No, they just go directly to Tony and hug the shit out of him. They let their hands shake again but hold back the tears just to save the paint.

"You watched it, right?" he asks, now smiling softly as he breaks the hug

"I wanted some background noise,” they huff, this time ready to face whatever hate their existence is igniting.

Because yes, Loki alone cannot face all this. But when the other Avengers, their family, on their side, they can bear a little longer.

Obey Me The Yokai Parade

Hi guys! Here is the different Obey Me fanfic following the Yokai Parade event. I just made this cause the event was quite boring and the plot story was too fast. I wanna make the boys fight over MC or do cool stuff like that. I'll be making this fic into four-five chapters. I'll also be including more Raphael into the story.

As Kristin and the boys walked by the festival, she encounter Raphael in strange behavior. The raccoon dog yokai may have more pranksters for the special exchange student.

Welp, enjoy reading!

Kristin stared in awe of all the festival yokai they saw from the balcony of their inn. As they walked through the road, the gentle yellow light from lanterns lit up, the lights from various stalls, and all kinds of yokai in a massive crowd. 

"Kristin~" Asmo called her from her daze. He wraps his arms around her shoulder. "Caught up in that tiny head of yours?"

"Ah, Asmo," Kristin tries to push him gently away before…

"Oi! Asmo! Get your hands off her!" Mammon scolded. 

Yep, there it is.

"So loud, Mammon! Kristin was up to her head again; I cannot let her like that." Asmo pouted at his brothers and turned at Kristin. "Not when we're in the middle of a Yokai Parade."

Just then, a group of yokai passes through the balcony with a rainbow bridge. Kristin gasped in surprise as a yokai-like frog, a pig with two legs, humans with three eyes, and many kinds of yokai passed through their rainbow bridge. Kristin wants to reach forward and grab them. When one tiny yokai, a yellow troll with one eye, stopped and stared at Kristin. Kristin gave a wave and a little 'hi' to the yokai. Then the troll yokai opened his mouth, stretching widely like an alligator. 

"A yokai tries to eat Kristin! Du-du-du-DUM! Levi to the rescue!!!" Levi jumped up to the yokai when a blast of winds blew the yokai away. It shrieks as it flies back up to his friends. They turned to Lucifer, who had conjured the wind. 

"Kristin, had I told you not to be friendly with the demons you had seen for the first time?" Lucifer scolded. 

Kristin pouts at the demon but ignores him. It's better not to provoke the pride demon. Not when she finally has the chance to see the yokai parade. 

A week ago, in a student council meeting, everyone was enthusiastic about two weeks off school after exam week. Diavolo had an idea for all the brothers and the exchange student to see the yokai parade. Kristin was so excited she shouted her dreams of seeing the parade. 

"I always wanted to go to such a grand diversity parade! Since I've watched "My Fox Friends and I are Struggling with Human Deforestation of Our Homeland, We Had a Plan to Scare the Humans with Yokai Parade, Will we Succeed or Not?"

Levi jumped from his seat. "Ohhh… it's the story about a fox yokai trying to save his home by scaring the humans with yokai illusion! Production by Bilbi studio! The greatest anime movies and series production! I have watched every single movie and series Bilbi has made. They even collaborated in making the Ruri-chan movie Justice in the Spout Land!"

Kristin shrieked and went to Levi's side. "I know! It was produced in the 90s but had such delightful characters and good pictures!"

Levi holds Kristin's hands in excitement. "The Bilbi production always has unique drawings and pictures. Ah! But! The story was sad; the fox didn't make their home safe." Levi tears up. 

Kristin cries as well. "I know! I was crying all the way to Sunday!"

They're both crying in the council room, exclaiming about the movie characters, and Kristin apologizes to the foxes. Lucifer had his hand on his face, shaking in disbelief. Diavolo sat still with a smile and turned at Lucifer. "Well, I guess we're going."

Kristin sings behind the screen while changing into her costume. She struggled a bit since she had never worn a Japanese dress. Kristin worked with her shawl. Is it a shawl?

"Kristin?" Lucifer's voice startled her. 

"Ye, yes?!" Kristin shriek. 

"...do you need any help?"

Kristin's eyes widen. How did he know you were struggling? Kristin scoff. She shouldn't be more surprised by every scheme his brothers had cooked for him. 

"Kristin?" Lucifer called for her again. 

"Um, yeah! It's just this," Kristin closed her mouth, wanting nothing but to knock her head. "Can you come here?"

After a moment of silence, Kristin turned and followed the slight shadow behind the screen coming over. Lucifer walked behind the screen. Kristin had to hold her breath at his costume. He looks so cool! Ugh! So unfair, God! So unfair! 

"What are you struggling with?" Lucifer asked. 

"Um, this, how do I?" Kristin showed the shawl, and Lucifer took it from her hand. "Eep!" She squeaked as Lucifer put his hand on her shoulder and turned to her back. Lucifer chuckled. 

"Don't worry, little lamb; I'm not gonna hurt you." 

Kristin growled over her shoulder. He loves to tease Kristin with her lamb form. Then she felt Lucifer focused on his task at hand. Circling the shawl around her waist, Kristin holds her breath as he does. Lucifer buttons the shawl on her back. The rest of the yellow fabric falls to her left hand. Lucifer gestured to the button on her sleeve. 

"Here, connect this to here," Lucifer said and clipped the button together. "And let it fall to your right arms." He stepped back and looked at her proudly. "There."

"Ohhh, yes! This is exactly how the catalog showed!" Kristin gave a little twirl. Adjusting her horns as she looks at Lucifer with her head held high. "How do I look?"

"Just like the dragon yokai. It's perfect."

Kristin blushes at his compliment and looks down on the floor with a pout. Lucifer chuckled at her reaction. Kristin tries to compose herself and asks. "Uhm, you look cool too. What sort of yokai are you?"

"A gashadokuro, a giant skeleton monster."

"Uuuuh…a skeleton monster?" Kristin giggled. Lucifer raised an eyebrow at her. "It fits you!"

Lucifer furrowed at her, scowling. "What is that supposed to mean?" 

Before Kristin could tease him further, the screen beside them pulled away. Mammon did it with an angry look on his face. 

"What are ya two do'in hiding behind a screen?!" Mammon yelled. Kristin rolled her eyes. 

"Uwoooo!!! Lucifer and Kristin! Behind a screen?!" Levi scream. 

"Levi!!!" Kristin shouted, stomping her foot. "Calm down, you two! Lucifer was helping me with my costume!" Kristin walks away to get away from Lucifer. She bumps into Mammon's wings. "Uf!"

"Kristin!" Mammon and Lucifer shouted for her; all that Kristin comprehended was that the two oldest brothers were grabbing her from side to side as she was off her footing. 

Levi squealed again with a depressed cry. "Uwoooo!!! Mammon and Lucifer rescued Kristin! While Levi stands here like a useless otaku he is!!"

"Leviiii!!!" Kristin yelled. She didn't notice Lucifer and Mammon glaring at each other and helping her stand on her foot. Kristin thanked them; she walked over to Levi and scolded him for downgrading himself. 

"Look who has changed into their costume!" Asmo exclaimed, walking into the room with his hood on. "Wow! Kristin, your custom looks amazing on you!"

"Oh, thank you, Asmo. I'm a dragon yokai. You must be a vengeful yokai bride?" 

"Yes! That's right! Though I don't know what the yokai is called." Asmo said. He then notices his brothers. "Oh! The same goes for the rest of you, by the way! Perfect fit!" 

Levi sighs and complains. "We're just an afterthought to Asmo, huh?" Kristin slapped his shoulder at his comments. 

Kristin looks at all the brothers in customs. "I agree with Asmo; everyone fits with the yokai they choose." She giggled as she turned at Satan. "And of course, Satan with his cat custom choice."

Satan looks away with a blush. "There's nothing wrong with that. I knew you were all thinking it. My yokai is called nekomata, a two-tailed cat yokai."

"It's a good thing they have a cat custom for you." Kristin circles around him to play with his second tail with a bell on it. 

"O-oi! Don't play it!" Satan exclaims; his face is still red. He didn't try to stop her from petting it. Kristin smiled and walked toward Beel.

"Beel looks cute too!" Kristin exclaim. "And the tail! So big and fluffy!" She grabs the tail and hugs it to her face, squeezing her cheeks with the bottom.

Beel hum in delight. "Thanks. The tail does feel nice. I can rub it anytime I want."

Kristin giggled. "It is; it feels like hugging a giant teddy."

"I wanna hug it too with you," Beel said with puppy eyes, making Kristin giggle and gesturing for him to join in. 

"Hey! I wanna hug with Kristin too!" Belphie scolded and went from behind Kristin’s to reach the tail. Kristin squeaked in surprised and giggled. 

“Oi! who said ya can hug her like that!” Mammon yelled and pulled Belphie from his tail. 

“Oww…Mammon…” 

Kristin gasp. “Mammon! don’t pull your brother like that!” 

“Kristin, Mammon’s bullying me~”

Kristin gave her deathly glared at Mammon. Mammon quickly held his hand in the air in surrender. “Alright, alright, geez! Just, don’t hug!” He said with a pout. 

Kristin notices Belphie’s custom. “Belphie, that’s a lot of ornaments in your custom. You’ll be alright when we’re walking all the way through?” 

Belphie groan. “It is quite a heavy custom. But I’ll be fine as long as you stay beside me.” he smiled at Kristin. She agreed and reached over to rub his ear fox. 

“Alright, everyone, we should be going now not to arrive late,” Barbatos said as he walked into the room with his lizard-like custom. Diavolo came in as well with a demon look. Everyone does like the yokai they represent. 

“Ah! Right! We shouldn’t let him wait any longer!” Luke said. Kristin wanted to comment on his bunny suit instead of a dog suit. But she changes it. 

“Um, there’s another one coming along with us?” Kristin gasp. “It isn’t a REAL yokai, right?!” 

Diavolo laughs. “Hahaha. That might be interesting. But no, it’s not a real yokai.”

Kristin let out a disappointed ‘oh.’ Barbatos smiled at the group and said. “Well then, shall we go outside and greet the final member of our group?”

Hope you guys enjoy that! I'll also post my mc in her yokai custom in the next post! See you in the next fic!
