[mirkwood]

i know u didn't rb that post, BUT I WANT TO KNOW what u think of ur melkor and feanor :)) so !!! 18, 13, 22.

Well I actually just did 👀

Thank you for the ask, you're too kind and thank you for your patience again <3

Let me put this under here :

For Melkor :

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

When I think about him these emojis come to mind: 💥☄🌒😡🌫❗🕳👺

Listen there's no in between with him, he is either not big on emojis OR he overuses all of them. it doesn't matter the context. he puts them everywhere. he's talking about sth serious? he will put the crying laughing emoji. followed by random emojis (mairon can't stand it). that depends on his mood though.

But if he knows that you have one emoji that you hate, he's gonna use that ALL. THE. TIME. Everywhere. hes annoying.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Well i really like his dynamic with Mairon, even if we're not talking about it in a romantic way.

I think it's interesting because look there's this big bad guy who has a lieutenant and they both only like each other. I also think they balance each other out well, they are similar but not so much that it makes them clash this is more feanor/melkor.

And Melkor definitely needs the order and everything Mairon has to offer. Look at him, the chaos is everywhere. They both have a lot to offer to each other and I think that's the main key for their dynamic here.

Also. "The corruption of Mairon" yes okay but i think he WANTED to be corrupted, Melkor just offered him this opportunity. It's another version of them that can be pretty interesting, it all depends on how you want to see their dynamic/relationship.

My thoughts are all over the place about them but I have to sit and ponder more to give you a better answer tbh.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I really like when people write him as ruthless and relentless, but also. let's not forget that this guy is a loser. so I like it when people add that side of him in their fics. Because he's literally just fucking around and finding out most of the time. Let's be real kfjsdkdjfsd

Something I don't like. Well I don't really know. I haven't read anything that I didn't like. The only thing I would like to see more of is melkor who is just a wreck tbh. Like emotionally and mentally i just want to read about him dealing with those feelings (even though he doesn't really know how to do that!!!)

I'm currently writing a piece that kiiinda resembles what i said above and I have to say it's very interesting to explore that side of him.

For Feanor :

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

Emojis that remind me of him : 🤬💎🔥☄🌪

BRO USES THIS 💀💀💀 EMOJI ALL THE TIME!!!! CONTEXT BE DAMNED

Also he's such a dad he uses 👍🏻 this one too. Like. Whatever the convo. He will send it.

AND THIS "........" DAD MOMENT!!!! OK.....👍🏻

I feel like he'd also use "lmao" too but only in a sarcastic way. like when he gets pissed off he uses it TOO MUCH.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Listen....... basically I can talk about him w melkor here since this question doesn't specify the kind of relationship.

So i think it's SUPER interesting bc i've seen people saying that they are the two sides of the same coin (and it's def true. they both follow their emotions more than being logical. boh of them also go against the Valar for their own reasons etc.)

I think feanor ofc has every right to hate melkor but at the same time. it's like you are hating a part of yourself bro bc they are so similar. Also they both have a passion that is unmatched. like I am not even seeing this from a shipper perspective, that's right there.

Their dynamic, even though it's barely discussed is sooo good and I think if melkor wasn't such a fuckass dipshit and feanor wasn't so impulsive it would be sooo interesting to explore another side of them where they could work together or sth. Think about it.

Then again, you can also see them exactly as Tolkien intended (feanor, who hates melkor for sooo many valid reasons. melkor who just loves manipulating and lying and being a bitch) and still enjoy their dynamic idk i think it's very promising.

I AM RAMBLING. DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I will admit i haven't read many fics w feanor (yet) so I wouldn't know.

But I'd love to see him portrayed as very soft and gentle with his family because he definitely IS!!!!

Need more soft dad feanor in my life fr.

[wingstobetorn]

You want someone to ask about your Mutant Mayhem headcanons? Okay, I'LL BITE. Tell me as many of your headcanons for your favorite turtle! Or, if you have the time or don't wanna pick just one, you can do all of them!

Under the cut hgh (THIS IS MOSTLY LEO AHSGAH)

1. I'm emotionally attached to the headcanon that Leo and Raph are twins. Do they have canon birthdays? Yes! Do I care? Reality can be whatever I want it to be.

2. Leo uses every emoji possible, like 😊😍🤭🥰🫤💕😦😳😲😠😱😁🤬🙊👀🤯 and more! He tends to overuse 😊 when messaging April.

3. They have all cyberbullied each other (and others) on Roblox more than once. Well actually, Leo attempted but then he thought “hey what if Dad saw this and got mad 😔” and decided to stop.

4. Leo's favorite Sonic character is Amy, his favorite MLP character is Rarity, and his favorite Scooby Doo character is Daphne.

5. Raph gets a partner before Leo does and this either makes Leo SEETHE or actually gain hope for himself. If Raph of all turtles can do it, why can't he?

6. There is no possible way Raphael Ninja Turtle is straight are you kidding me. Trust me Casey is going to appear and this will make Raph realize shit about himself. Hey Seth you don't wanna make this guy a ladies man okay alright Seth SETH SETH.

7. Mikey is quite possibly the most aroace ninja turtle I ever seen. I'm so glad there's a 99.99% guarantee they aren't going to put him in any sort of romantic situation.

8. Not a HC but I am being so goddamn fr what the hell is wrong with this guy.

9. Donnie lives life as as a secret gachatuber and has 100k followers on his account.

10. Leo says “Hey well listen here buddy” before getting thrown out of a window.

11. Raph is like those dads who starts to get pissed off when their kid can't answer a simple math question. Except he is tutoring his brother Mikey.

12. Donnie and Mikey make art together :)

I do have a lot of serious headcanons too but I like getting silly goofy with things

[drowninginthoughts27]

hi em :) 🍎🍏 pls !!

Heyyy Rose!!! Thanks sm for the ask <33

🍎: Is there anything you straight-up won’t write?

Tbh I can’t think of anything that I wouldn’t write no matter the circumstances. If I had to pick something I think probably non-con, I could never see myself writing it in a sexual way/in smut… but at the same time I’m not entirely opposed to touching on the trama and impact of sexual assault if it fit in a fic I was writing. I think I’m a lot more open to writing about most topics opposed to reading them (but that’s more cause of personal shit) but anywho ig as of right now I’m not super interested in writing any form of a/b/o either so that could be my answer. As far as ships go there also aren’t really any I could say that I won’t ever write cause when I first got into the fandom I wasn’t a Jegulus stan and look at me now 👀

🍏: Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

Ik there is some stuff I overuse loads but I can’t put my finger on what exactly that would be,,, I think I use commas a lot so maybe that, I try not to use reoccurring phrases unless I deem it relevant/important/impactful to the story yk,,, as far as tropes go at least in ttwns I have multiple forbidden 3am calls (but I���ve only posted one of the chapters including this so far) and I just write a fuck ton of Jegulus, I would love to expand and write something focused more on a different ship (especially a wlw ship, pandalily had been on the mind a lot recently and I love them) but as of rn all of my works, both completed, wip, and upcoming are Jegulus-centric so idk,,, I do have a bit of an issue with run on sentences tho, like more often than not I can’t for whatever reason write a short sentence that I like and am willing to include in my writing :)

✨fruit emoji ask game for fic writers✨

[pepsimaxolotl]

ive never in my LIFE heard eyes emoji used as explicitly sexual im calling bullshit it means "i am am looking" because its EYES i'll die on this hill with you

THANK YOU!!!

ok cool cool glad to know that my overuse of 👀 has been coming across as 'I am looking at your cool art or cool concept' rather than 'I think that's hot'

[adhduck]

For the fic writer ask meme!!! 👀☕️💕

omfg i never saw this tumblr how could you. (rifles through my blog to find the ask meme again)

👀 Do you have any words/phrases you use habitually? 

I do unfortunately have a habit of way overusing "just" and "a little" and "sort of" but that's not fun. Uhhhhhh if it's porn and I didn't write "please" at least several times it wasn't me, that's something.

☕️ Do you drink anything when you write? Coffee, tea, alcohol, etc?

Hopefully water just for the purpose of being chronically ill lol, but otherwise no? I'm not really a Drinks kind of gay

💕 What is the WIP that you are most excited about?

In the long-term sense it's always gonna be blossom boys (my 30-year slow burn), but at this exact moment it's my mermaid-ish au where i made it all a big trans and disability allegory (and also like. tangibly trans/disabled). Extremely fun and cathartic to write

If you wanna send me some emojis and have me answer it a week later, feel free lmao

[kahvilahuhut]

5, 9, and 17 from the tech asks for Dana? -@void-botanist

5. What’s their texting style? (EX: abbreviations or perfect grammar? One-word texts or paragraphs?)

Most of the times: lowercase, lots of abbreviations, emojis, short messages.

When something's serious: perfect grammar, no emojis aside from ":)"/":("

9. What are their most frequently used emojis?

I'll list their top five! 😂☕️😐🤔👀 the coffee cup one is mostly sent on its own to signofy they're too busy to react/answer and will get back to the sender (their friend bc no one else would understand) as soon as possible

17. What’s the last thing they searched in an incognito tab 👀 (doesn’t need to be NSFW!)

Dana overuses incognito mode bc they think some of their searches are plain dumb. I'll list a few of their latest searches + explanations:

"Almontou weather forecast" (Almontou is the name of the planet they're stuck at) Nathan's old video essay/study channel (they were looking for some information on his life for an argument ajsjdjh) "how to wash chocolate off sports bras" "can robots drink alcohol" "how to wash blood off sports bras"

RIVER YOURE SUCH A MENACE(💕) OMG

the thing I enjoy a lot about your writing is that when you add backstories or details the the plot, they’re easily relatable and it makes you think about those scenarios in your own life

And

This was so funny and so sweet aisbsjsns also, your endings are great man

Stop it wth you cant say such nice and validating things!!! I cant even properly respond to this, just---🥺

please tell me the title was a reference to who the hell is Bucky

Not even gonna lie, at first it was the first thing that came to my head, and then I looked back at it and I was like "wait a minute...I see what I did there..." So it was technically an accident but a nice surprise when I noticed it so I kept it!!

maybe I’m reading into it too much but I don’t care

Never stop reading into things, read into everything, create all the lore

Don’t be shy, drop the link 👀

Dude I WISH, it was just what I thought of, and then I tried to look it up and see if there was anything like it. I saw some cute dresses, but nothing like specifically I spat out ☹️ Maybe one day

Just thinking of the ‘My boy! 😀’ ’oh no my boy! 😦’ ’father help’ meme

I love that video/meme 😭😂 (yes i still use the laughing emoji i will never understand the hate it gets)

coco puff eating bitch. disgusting. why. the true torture here is forcing himself to eat the rabbit shit cereal (no hate. it hits different sometimes. but still. coco puffs)

"coco puff eating bitch", let's put this on a t-shirt

I don't have that strong of an opinion on coco puffs, once again, first thing that came to mind lol (maybe I should start thinking these things through to match the character and scenario but I'm just really good at shitting things out and forgetting about them LOL)

I see sputtered I just thing of a car starting and it makes me laugh every time

Sputtered is honestly so funny, bc I imagine it like stuttering, but so much more dramatic

also, your ability to really use different words other than said/says/say/things similar is awesome. you choose just the right words every time, and you can hear how the character is saying it and the emotions behind it. It’s so cool and I feel like I say ‘says’ and ‘said’ more often than I use the letter a. Which is saying something idek man

Riverrrr you are too kind, this is such a deep compliment 😭 I cant even---

And absolutely don't worry about using "said" a lot, bc A.) there hasn't been a single time I've read smth of yours and thought, "wow this uses "said" too much, and B.) I think it's good to not overuse other words instead of "said"! Said gets a lot of hate, but if you get the point across, your work is done! Said is very valuable, and I support "said" usage on this blog !!!!

I know I say this every time but it's because I mean it every time, thank you so so so so so much. You are so so sweet and funny and ngl everytime I post smth I'm always wondering if you'll like it hehe

SO MUCH LOVE, I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY/NIGHT EVER!

Who the Hell is Daryl?

Summary: Bucky is in love with you, and finally finds the courage to tell you. But what happens when it sounds like someone else is already in the picture? (Miscommunication!)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x f!Avenger!Reader

Words: 2k

Warnings: Miscommunication trope! Only one small mention of “Y/N”, teensy bit of yelling, let me know if I missed anything.

A/N: Wrote this a couple days ago and put it in drafts, spontaneously posted bc I'm procrastinating on an essay. Okay I'll get back to hw now :(

Dividers: @firefly-graphics

He was going to do it. He was really going to do it. 

He was finally going to ask you out.

-----

To the surprise of everyone on the team, you and Bucky had become fast pals after you joined six months ago. Something about the two of you clicked. ‘Opposites attract’ and all that, but Bucky always felt it went deeper than that.

The two of you had never argued, something he felt very proud of, considering he argued with most people. But not you. Never you.

The moment he decided that he needed to man up and ask you out wasn’t anything fancy. You were sparring with Wanda across the gym, and he was simply watching you work in tandem. He watched the entire 15 minute session, and didn’t take his eyes off you, even as you approached him. 

“Buck, I’m out of water, can I take a sip of yours?”

He nodded, “Sure, Doll,” and tossed you his bottle. 

You shot him a charming smile and opened the cap, and not-so-gracefully chugged half the bottle. You wiped your upper lip and handed it back to him. 

“Thanks, Jamie,” you breathily said, and jogged back to the arena. 

His head was completely empty except for a single thought, tumbling through his desert mind like a tumbleweed.

I’m going to marry her someday.

He shocked himself with the thought, he wasn’t sure where it had come from. But he couldn’t help the grin that snuck its way onto his lips as he realized he didn’t disagree with the thought.

Of course before marriage is dating. One step at a time Buck. 

After his realization, he had spent the next three days planning the perfect way to ask you out. He went through an entire list of ideas, but none of them seemed good enough for you. He wanted it to be perfect. But as the clock ticked on and he started running out of paper, he realized it was best to just be honest about his feelings. 

You had just gotten back from a solo mission, and Bucky was hanging out in your room as you showered.

He was blushing like an idiot and fidgeting like crazy on your bed as he waited for you to hurry up. It was surprising he had so much self control as to not blurt it out while you were showering.

“Oh, Bucky,” you called from the bathroom, the sound of the water pausing.

“What’s up?”

“Could you set an alarm on my phone for 7:30 A.M. tomorrow before I forget? I think I left it on the side table.”

“You got it, Doll.”

“You’re the best! I’m almost done, I’ll be out in like two minutes,” you called, and soon after the sound of rushing water resumed.

Bucky grabbed your phone and typed in the passcode, his heart fluttering a little as he thought about how you trusted him enough to know it.

But the flutter stopped almost as quickly as it started, the moment your phone turned on and resumed on your text string with someone. He would’ve ignored it, but a red heart at the top of the screen caught his eye.

Who the hell is “Daryl,” and why does he have a heart emoji next to his name?

Bucky couldn’t help himself as his eyes flitted over your last texts.

Daryl ❤️ I’m back in town, lemme know when you’re around 

You About to leave for a quick mission, but I’ll be back tmw evening. I miss you sm :( how about we meet up Monday morning at 8 at Bernie’s cafe?

Daryl ❤️ Lets do it. And I miss you too, can’t wait to see your beautiful face!! I love you, be careful

You Love you too, and Im always careful 😘

Bucky felt sick to his stomach. You had never mentioned a brother named Daryl, or any other kind of family member. And you’d told him about all your closest friends, and none of them were named Daryl. How did Bucky not know you had a boyfriend?

Bucky fought the urge to scroll up, and quickly tapped out of the app, and set the alarm you asked him to set. 

So you were meeting this “Daryl” tomorrow morning?

Bucky heard the water stop, and the sound of the shower curtain shuffling.

Shit. You were getting out. Fuck, he wasn’t ready to face you.

You’d never mentioned you were in a relationship before. He would remember. How long have you been dating? And more importantly, why did you keep this from him? Did you feel like you couldn’t trust him? Maybe you weren’t as close friends as he’d thought.

“Which movie did you want to watch tonight?” You asked, peeking out of the door with a turquoise towel wrapped around you.

“Um, I’m actually really tired, suddenly. I think I’m going to go to bed.” Bucky stuttered, avoiding your gaze as he quickly stood up.

“Oh, okay,” you responded, disappointment and concern lacing your voice. “Everything okay?”

“Everything is fine. Glad you got back safe. Good night.”

With that, Bucky ducked out of your room and practically ran back to his.

Bucky tossed and turned, and once he got over his embarrassment, he settled into a familiar depressive feeling. Of course you didn’t like him back. What the fuck was he thinking? He’s—well, he’s Bucky. Broken, only destined to ever be your friend. How could he be foolish enough to think you would love him like he loves you. At about hour 4, the heartbreak started turning into betrayal. Betrayal that you kept this from him. And soon enough, that betrayal festered into a kind of resentment, something he’d never felt for you before.

He didn’t get much sleep that night.

Bucky checked the clock for the 20th time in the past 5 minutes. 7:45 A.M. You were probably about to leave. Bucky felt his heart clench. He was usually up by 7, and eating breakfast in the common area by 7:30. He sat at the barstool, dragging his spoon around his now soggy Coco Puffs, waiting for you to appear. Why he felt the need to torture himself, he didn’t know.

Finally, he heard your steps coming down the hall. 

And there you appeared, wearing the most beautiful sundress he had ever seen. It was lavender, and had small white flowers adorning the skirt, and it fell just above your knees. 

Bucky took you in, and his momentary adoration turned back to his heartbreak. You were dressed up as if you were going on a date. There was no chance this wasn’t your boyfriend.

“Good morning Bucky, did you sleep okay last night?” 

“Yes.” He lied. Maybe you would tell him the truth if he asked. Yes it would hurt hearing the truth from your mouth, but he wanted to give you a chance to tell him your secret. “Where are you headed?”

“To meet a friend,” you nodded smoothly. 

Maybe Bucky was crazy. Maybe he was overthinking all of this. Maybe Daryl really was just a friend.

“Which friend?”

“Penny.”

So you were just flat out lying to him now. Bucky nodded and waited for you to leave before moping back to his room. He wanted to cry. And he did for a minute, or two, but his tears turned from sad to angry when he remembered you were now lying. You never lied to Bucky, and Bucky never lied to you. At least, he thought that was how it was. He clenched his fists, mad at you for betraying him, but more mad at himself for believing he could ever have you.

He didn’t move from his bed.

“Bucky?” Your voice emerged after three knocks to his door.

He couldn’t get himself to respond. 

The door slowly creaked open, a stream of light flooding his dark room.

“Hey Buck. You okay? You seemed a little off this morning.”

“Fine.” He mumbled, not turning over in bed to face you.

A pause. 

“Jamie, what’s wrong?” You asked, closing the door behind you and flicking on the light. 

“Don’t call me that.”

“What?” You asked, slightly taken aback. You thought he loved your affectionate nickname for him.

“I don’t want you to call me ‘Jamie’ anymore.”

“Okay…”

He felt the bed dip as you sat next to him. 

“Bucky,” you whispered, “please talk to me.”

He sat up and gave you a pointed look. Was he being immature? Yes. But what could he do, he just discovered that his best friend has been lying to him, and doesn’t love him.

“Where were you?” He asked.

You furrowed your brows a moment, trying to piece together where he was going with this. 

“I was at Bernie’s with Penny.”

“Don’t lie to me.” He sneered.

Your eyes widened at his bite.

“I’m not lying? Bucky, what is going on?”

“What’s going on is that you’ve been keeping the fact that you have a boyfriend from me. Why don’t you want to tell me?”

“A boyfriend?” You blinked. “I don’t have a boyfriend,”

“Why won’t you be honest with me?” He yelled, and you scooted back.

“I am!”

“Then who is Daryl?”

“What?”

“I saw your texts last night, when you asked me to set your alarm.” Bucky looked down at his lap, ashamed.

“Bucky,” you sighed, and a look of understanding crossed your face. A moment later you held out your phone to him.

“What?” He asked, dumbly looking at your outstretched hand. The screen was on your text string with Daryl.

“Call the number.” You simply said.

“What?” He repeated.

“Take my phone, and call the number.”

Confused and suspicious, Bucky grabbed your phone and hesitated over the call icon. 

“Go ahead,” you urged.

He pressed the button. 

Ring.

Ring.

Ri—

“Hey!” A familiar feminine voice rang through the speaker. “What’s up hon?”

“Hello?” Bucky said, looking from the phone to you to the phone.

“Uh, hi? Is that Bucky?”

“P—Penny?” He sputtered.

“Hey Bucky! What’s up, is everything okay? I thought Y/N was calling.”

“Hey Pen,” you interjected, “Everything’s fine, I’ll call you back in a bit, kay’?”

“Sure thing, bye, love ya,” Penny added, and hung up.

Bucky stared at the now blank phone, baffled.

“I don’t understand.”

“Bucky,” you sighed, and tilted his chin to look at you. “I don’t have a boyfriend. Penny is in my contacts as “Daryl” because it’s my funny little nickname for her. My Dad has had a best friend since grade school named Daryl, and they don’t see each other often, but when they do it’s like nothing has changed. They get along like no time has passed. I call Penny “my Daryl” because I know that even if we don’t talk for years, we are so close that I know we would be the exact same.”

Bucky sat quietly for a moment, simply taking in your story. He felt really stupid.

“I’m sorry,” he started, “I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I’m sorry I called you a liar.” He struggled to meet your gaze, ashamed of what he did.

“Jamie—can I call you Jamie now?”

He nodded sheepishly.

“Jamie, I forgive you. But I wish you had just talked to me about it, and asked me. We are usually so good about being open with each other. What happened?” You asked, wide eyes looking into his.

“I know, I’m sorry. I flipped out, I guess I was just shocked, because I was going to—” he licked his lips, “well, I was…”

“You can tell me, Bucky. Honesty, remember?” You soothed, placing your hand on his leg.

He gulped.

“I was going to ask you to be with me.”

You tilted your head, not quite understanding.

“Like, I was gonna ask if you’d let me be your boyfriend.” He mumbled. “So when I saw that you were texting and saying ‘I love you’ to some guy, I guess I was just blindsided.”

“James,” you smiled, moving yourself to sit on his lap. You brought your forehead against his. “You silly, jealous man.” You gently stroked his cheek with your right hand. “You want to be my boyfriend?"

"It sounds so juvenile, I don't know, I just want you to be mine, and for you to call me 'yours,'" he mumbled.

"I accept," you giggled, and watched his glittering eyes shoot to yours.

He had started to say something, but he stopped when you brought your soft lips to his.

“I'm so happy,” he whispered between kisses.

Suffice it to say, Bucky completed step one of the path to marrying you.

A/N: Tysm for reading! If you liked it, please feel free to let me know!

Also I'm sorry if the ending sucks, I wrote this in a couple hours and Idk why I'm so bad at endings gahh

Here's my Masterlist if you'd like to read more!

[snuggetfish]

I really love your writing and the way you analyze characters! So I wanted to ask, what if majima suggested to his s/o and Saejima that they were in polyamory relationship? Since he remembers his s/o telling him how handsome Saejima is after she met him?

As a fan of SaeMaji, I'm so on board with this idea! 👀

I think Majima would fret for days over making this suggestion. He's aware it's not a conventional thing to want, relationship-wise, and though he's clearly an unconventional guy, his biggest worry is that his partner might misconstrue the poly idea. What if she thinks this is just him realizing he's still in love with Saejima after so many years and being too cowardly to break it off with her, instead trying to have his cake and eat it too...?

But she's expressed insterest in the man before so... here goes nothing. I think in the end it turns out that Saejima is the one that needs the most convincing. Spending more than half of his life in prison, he's unfamiliar with polyamory and a little reticent to jump into it. To be honest, I think he'd even fear it's purely a sex thing that's gonna make interactions awkward from now on. And how will navigate jealousy?

It's not gonna be a relationship Saejima can slip into naturally and I think he's going to need some reassurance and some "learning by doing" types of dates to really make it clear that he's not just the third wheel or the "extra" partner. He's an integral part of it. He doesn't have to sit by the sidelines pining after Majima and he certainly doesn't have to beat himself up for the feelings he's developing for his bro's girlfriend. She's got two hands, after all 🤝🤝

A trait both brothers absolutely share is the desire to spoil her. They already know each other inside out so bonding between the two of them comes mostly in the form of fights. But her... her you gotta love properly.

Majima's love language is gifts, while Saejima's is quality time. He knows the value of time better than anyone else, so his goal is to make moments last. He'd be the one coming up with ideas about trips the three of them could take and organizing their sightseeing schedules. And he'd also be the guy insisting that everyone helps with preparing lunches and dinners, even if they're terrible cooks and their only job is to slice one onion and then forget to add it to the pot (looking at you, Majima...). As long as they're doing it together, that's all that matters 💙

being all like: aww you just can´t get enough of me~ what took you so long this time?

Ushijima

straight up dick pics or his abs/veiny arms

would send you pics after/while he works out and turns you on without intending to

accidentally leaves you on read after you call him out for it

kinda internal panic because...we all know this man is awkward asf

so you have to guide him through, tell him what you want him to do and what you wanna do to him

is kinda embarrassed the first few times, but slowly enjoys it more and more

[endlessnightlock]

Fanfic Ask

😂 What’s the funniest comment someone has left on a fic of yours?

🙅‍♀️ What is one trope you refuse to ever write?

👀 Do you have any words/phrases you use habitually?

Thank you @curiousnonny

Oh man, my memory is horrible, and I've gotten so many funny comments on my fics because I do like comedy a lot. This is a terrible answer, but some troll left me a comment once on The Boy In The Woods that said the story was a waste of their time and I was just like, "my dude, why'd you finish reading the free story I wrote for nothing that no one forced you to read then?" I still laugh thinking about that dumbass. Call me crazy but I like calling out assholes on their s**t.

What trope do I refuse to ever write? I don't think I could figure out how to write one of those A/B/O stories, or the characters doing really gross things. Also don't think I could write a threesome. Not that other writers haven't done them justice (lol) it's just a Nah putting that on paper (word document?) involving Katniss and Peeta for me. I project too much of my relationship with my spouse onto the way I usually write them (not the horror stories, lmao) to take a smut scene in that direction. That's all!

Word or phrases I use habitually. Hmm... like I said, shitty memory. Oakfarmer has called me out on some (insert laughing/crying emoji here). For me, it's not specific words I think I overuse (not that I don't), but my tendency to write Katniss and Peeta in specific locations or doing specific things. There are lots of looking at each other while hanging around doors/doorways for some reason. I haven't figured out the psychological connotation of the doors. Maybe because in my head they don't pressure each other and the door represents a choice, whether to open it or not/whether to accept the other or not. End of the night flirting? Idk.

[dejwritesarchived]

WOOOO SLEEPOVER FRIDAY!

Ok ok this isn’t really a crush it was just a dude I was talking to so I told him I had adhd right, and I told him about all the negative effects of it.. like how sometimes I just be fidgety and always on the move.. now why he text me back and say “oh you got the zoomies 🥰🥰🥰” PLSSSS WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT 😭😭😭 I didn’t even know how to respond like damn bruh he compared me to a cat 🧍🏽‍♀️

*megan thee stallion voice* why would he say that?????

pls don’t tell me he put the emojis too ! cause imma scream !! a lot of men just aren’t that smart. like it’s worms in their brains…they do not think at all. just be going about their day with air in the brains, random stuff in their pants pockets, and overusing the 👀 emoji

[infiniteholeending]

I don’t know why I’m saying “we”. I’m not doing anything other than overusing the word “dilf” and tagging other people’s designs with the 👀 emoji
