             jin bubaigawara.
sweat breaks onto his forehead, but his pace slowly and surely comes to a rhythmic pace.
hard, accurate, but all so slow and gentle at the same time. the sounds that Jin's cock manages to draw out of you makes him want to speed up, but quite frankly you two had been at it since early this afternoon.
after spending time away from each other proved that not only does distance make the heart grow fond, it was everything in his right to prove that.
you mewl feeling his hand shift to grope your right tit as your languidly laid on your side, eyes fluttering and hips trying to fuck yourself on him. his moans and grunts are ever so present in your ear as its aggression softly lulls you to sleep, the type of lewdity that you missed from the days you two were separated for. he chuckles, breathlessly, as he looks at you trying so desperately to cling onto consciousness when everything in you was battling to do the opposite.
a soft 'shoo' slips it's way between your teeth and barely escapes your plump and bruised lips (from his kithes). once his hand that was once fondling your breast instead move to press it's large palm onto your lower abdomen, successfully making you painfully aware at how deep he reaches.
in a shameless bit to finish yourself as you were right there, your hand dj's your clit and does the job for you. it takes only but a few more thrusts for you to freeze and tighten up around his cock, a pathetic moan sounding from you as you finish. he wraps his arms around your waist and knocks his hips more ardently this time, wanting to finish, too. just the thought of you using him to get off was the kick-start to his own climax he was chasing.
soon enough in your now sleep state, the welcoming feel of his load paints your skin. he's biting, kissing, and muttering all sorts of praises of, 'i love you's' into your skin as you safely dose off into his arms.
you two would just do it again tomorrow if need be.

             shouta aizawa.
with your thighs pressed so firmly to your chest, and hands firmly pressed to the back of your knees only from the strength of your lover's hands.
it was cozy the way he was sloppily fucking himself into you. there was a squelch from each impact that would've embarrassed you if you were new to this. your gummy walls were almost too tight for his comfort, but Aizawa was never one to complain much. a grunt is all he combats the frustrated energy with as he attempts to speed up pace.
his eyes are glued to where you two meet; eyes so entranced at how pretty your pussy looks when it expertly takes his cock that he has to remind himself to look up every once in awhile to check on you to see if you were okay. dont get him wrong, he didn't think you were fugly or anything, his mand simply wanders in lust if he can't help it.
as his eyes trace it's way to your face as it gets on its journey to search your eyes, he can't help but notice your pretty lashes seem to stare back at him instead. he gives your hands a reassuring squeeze to check on if you're still with him, delighted to hear a distinctiveâvery slumber likeâhum in acknowledgement. he's quick to swoop down and plaster a kiss onto your parted lips, tongue finding its way to pry at yours.
the intrusion has your eyes fluttering open again and focus starting to align itself with him. it's as if you regaining attention brings you to a full stop, mouth falling open and hips bucking him as you squeeze your eyes shut.
"cumming, cumming...!" you whimper. the short notice dully noted as you take your hands from underneath his and pull him into your body instead. he abandons the pose from earlier to let you wrap your legs around his waist, locking him in with nowhere else to go.
tirelessly he emptied his spunk into your cunt, and shamelessly does he snuggle himself into you as he relaxed against your body.
he'd have to switch to a better position soon, but tonight you'll sleep being full of him.

            touya todoroki.
"you tired?"
is heard through your sleep like state, body fueled with pleasure and drowsiness fighting tooth and nail to pull you under. you defiantly hum, "no", your brattiness bringing a smile to Dabi's lips.
he had just pulled out of you, wet length pressed against your bum and your half naked body snuggled into him. in an effort to entice him once more, you try grinding back into him, the gesture earning a playful spank from him. you whimper in protest.
"one more..." you lazily lift your head as you try reaching behind you to find his length. he half-heartedly chastises you with the call of your name, swatting your hand away despite your efforts.
he pulls you closer though (somehow it was possible) and he wraps his arms around your waist. he presses his face into your hair, inhaling your musk and closing his eyes in comfort at the familiarity of it all. his free right hand starts to roam your free skin, hand tracing the skin of your hip and thighs, surely taking it's time to get where it needs to.
unmistakenly you can still feel everything. his calming warmth, his calloused hands and his half-baked boner. you chuckle seemingly at the conclusion but quiet when his hand finally finds his way back between your thighs. you slightly open your thighs to help with his venture, softly humming at pressure of his digits palming your still slick folds.
your mouth drops open as he softly massages your pumpum, taking it's time with toying your nerves. he hums lowly when he withdraws to look at his digits glisten in the moon-lit room before taking them to his mouth and sucking on them for himself. it's sickening how his eyes roll back instinctively as he could never get tired of your taste, now wanting nothing more to fuck you again for the nth time tonight. instead he takes his hand back to insert two fingers into you, and smirking at the moist sound that comes from it.
some of his cum from the last round spilled out and it made no sense for it to go waste. he notes the way you slowly drift back into slumber and doesn't prolong the process. with utmost care, he stuffs the load back into your willing cunt. after a few pumps his hand finds itself wrapped around his abandoned cock and aligns his swollen tip to your hole. in the most gentle way possible, he thrusts himself in and reclaims his hold around your body again as Dabi drift off to sleep.

âšâ đ ââşâ food
âBelieve it or not, Dazai can be good at cooking at times... under specific conditions of course. Those frozen packs of premade lunch or dinner meals? Just consider it done without much worry of him potentially burning down his own detective dormitory. Although there were indeed the rarer times that Dazai managed to cook up a delectable dish and not making any sort of mistake when doing it... The taste and genuine effort in its quality and how Dazai most definitely tried his hardest to not ruin it for you. You do appreciated his efforts, don't you? How you'd fail to prepare your own food since the huge workload that job of yours enforces upon your already exhausted self. To point you pondered about Dazai's own field of word as a detective. Why is he unbothered from needing to cook... Pity or self satisfaction from admiring you finish his food, whatever it really was, it still didn't disrupt those pesky thoughts off. "...You'd make a pretty decent housewife." You bluff. Coming out your mouth without realizing it sooner. "Making underwhelming food for me."
"Now, don't be like that, bella." Subtly his eyelids close, lashes fluttering ever so gently. He places aside his chopsticks away from the bento he did. The two of you currently sat in each other's sole company in a semi-secluded park area. "I thought you were aware that I'm not for one to dedicate long-term on something so domestic." Probing closer, wiping the sauce which seeps from the corner of those rosy lips of his. You didn't take your finger away just yet, "...Maybe." You say, turning to your side "I mean, it'd be pretty nice. Returning home and always seeing you in an apron."
"...Well, I don't exactly like the sound of that, [name]."
Come to think of it, it really must be a form of torture for Dazai to do housework chores.
a/n: promote gender equality by slut-shaming a man today (i say, despite being, said man)
âšâ đ¸ ââşâ seasonal
âSparks of loveable cherry flowers blooming to a delight under the shade of cloudsâhanging carelessly from the branches of its tree. With petals and small baby flowers fell due to the wind, and Dazai effortlessly catching one into his lithe hand as if clasping a fish out of waters. You, on the flip side, could only manage to have those stuck comfortably together in lush strands of hair on top of your head. How not onceânot twiceâbut thrice has this happened. "...'Samu, help me out?" He turns to your view and was fast to spot the linger of pink petals almost glued to the locks in your hair. Dazai's dimples twitch, a small set of his teeth showing for a brief second as the brunet snickersâtrying his damn hardest to not laugh slightly at your... Minor inconvenience, let's say? You place your hands to those hips and snap a glare at Dazai's reaction.
Him never for one taking something so seriously at all timesâexpected but still disappointed. He starts to pick one out of your head. "Relax, [name]. It's not as if they're difficult to pull out." Dazai murmurs, easily removing one by one until all were gone by now. You stiff a frown, how frustration overtook your nerves and retorting so nonchalantlyâharsh at the same time. "Still... I prefer my hair to not get sticky."
"I'm sure they don't feel too similar to apple or orange blossoms, sweetheart." He offers a simmer of sake in a small cup. "...While it would be pretty cute to see your hair always covered in flowers."
"...Would you like it if a ton of tiny petals were sticking to your hair...? It'll be hard enough to wash off!"

Actor! Satoru x F! Reader.
Mainlist
Pt.2
Satoru was on top of the world, he was the prince of Hollywood, the new heartthrob of the big screen, sounds fantastic, doesn't it?
It was for everyone except you, his poor manager, the only reason you haven't quit is because of how ridiculously good the pay is.
"Just Please make my job easier Satoru." You couldn't help but be frustrated, Dealing with Satoru was sometimes like dealing with a spoiled brat and sometimes it was just worse.
"Well, I'll pay you for that."
"You pay me to be your manager, not your babysitter so please stay here and cooperate."
And of course he didn't because it was complicated, no matter how long he had been in the industry he was still a pain in the ass for assistants, makeup artists, directors, photographers, etc. Basically anyone who had the misfortune to work with him.
It was always the same, you should be used to it by now but it was impossible.
"What do you mean you're not going to come with me?"
"It's not that hard to understand."
He rolled his eyes while his arms crossed over his chest. No matter your size or how high your heels are, Satoru was simply giant in front of you. "Don't be a Smartass, Yn, you're my manager, you have to come with me."
"Nanami will do the job of going with you that night."
"but I don't want Nanami! "
"I'll be busy with some paperwork that night."
" Well, have Nanami do the paperwork and you come with me."
" It's not that easy."
Yes, it was that easy but you hated big events and going to the Oscars was torture for you, you had managed to get away on most occasions but Satoru was getting more and more insistent.
"Why?"
You let out a sigh, you could make up as many excuses as you could he just always kept asking.
"Satoru, look, I don't want to go."
"Why?"
"I don't know I just-" You could deal with people, that was no longer the problem but you still don't get used to all the cameras ready to capture every second.
"Why do you mean? It's not that hard, you just have to get pretty and come with me, you can do that."
"But I don't want."
"But you don't want." He repeated, clearly he was not happy and clearly not the day was not going to end without him getting what he wanted. There was a pause in which no one said anything. "I'm your boss, you can't tell me no."
"You should review workers' rights, Satoru."
"Dammit." He muttered. "Just say yes, please. I swear it won't be so terrible, besides I already bought you a dress, it would be rude of you to refuse it."
A pair of puppy eyes and a few more pleas and just as he wanted it, there you were with the pretty burgundy dress, the high black heels and gloves of the same color.
"Look at you, you are beautiful."
Satoru approached you, observing every detail of your appearance. It was true that the dress was pretty and that the makeup artist had done an excellent job, but you couldn't help but make your stomach churn every time you remembered the place you were going.
"But I know how to do it even better."
Satoru called one of the attendants who held out a box from which he pulled out a diamond necklace. It was beautiful and also damn expensive, it was the kind of thing you'd never pay for but always admire from afar. Satoru put it around your neck giving the final touch to your look that night.
"I-" It was too much for you, you couldn't accept it.
"Not a single word, tonight you have to stand out, after all you are my date." You felt your soul leave your body for a few seconds, you had planned to stay as hidden as you could but Satoru wanted you next to him posing for the cameras, this was definitely too much, much more than you were ready to do, you couldn't, Your mind was only thinking about all the negative possibilities this could bring and all the embarrassing things you could do. You wanted to throw up, was it too late to get back to the paperwork plan?
"What?"

Like seriously, I'm so tired of people hating on Gil (even though sometimes it's quite justified and sometimes I hate him too) but also not accepting him outside fsn trilogy or treating him like completely different entity or treating his character development like something bad or saying that it was made just for profit. And yeah, sure, the last bit is technically true, because of his character popularity Nasu decided to give him a backstory, give him some depth and meaning instead of just leaving him the way he was, a shallow villain from eroge game, so why treating this development like it's a bad thing?
#like I just don't understand such selectiveness and rejection#like I also have some characters I hate but I'm not going around and talking shit about them#and I could've written that Garden of Avalon was made because Saber got popular as well or whatever#like I'm honestly and legit happy that Nasu decided to take some time#maybe even reread Epic and rewrite or more correctly finished writing Gilgamesh's character#and I think he managed to do a pretty good job#which also lines up with the plot of the epic where Gilgamesh starts as merciless tyrant#and later on after his long life journey turns into benevolent king#personal#my ramblings#and yeah sorry for venting

This inspired me, so I wrote about it.
There was something ethereal about Songserra at night, a quavering essence to the streets that whispered âwhat you encounter today will never be seen again.â In front of us on the sidewalk, a hovering sphere of glossy obsidian argued loudly with a wizard over which operating system was best. They were either both drunk, high, or sparked, because they shouted with such fervor that the nearby troupe of high school students nudged the spective in their midst, who held out their paws and willed a shimmering, soundproof bubble into existence around the kids.
Ana and I squeezed between the two groups, the riotous clamor of the old to our right and the embarrassed silence of the young to our left, then met each otherâs eyes and burst out laughing.Â
We were off after that, jogging hand-in-hand down the street for no reason other than that the sun would rise and our time would end and it seemed a crime to let any of these sweet, syrupy moments slip from our skin.
The restaurant we hit up served potatoes hot and cheap, with no regard for the time of day. It was perhaps still more than a couple who had just lost their latest job should have spent, but I needed one moment free from fear for the future, and Phinâs Potatoes provided.
They served one thing, and they served it good. There was no toppings bar or menu, just baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, and they were heavy and warm as soft sun-baked stones. Any of my rations cards could have bought twenty of them in a month; I swiped my Metran-Cuisine-Lovers card and tossed a boxed potato to Ana.
I think thatâs when the magic set in, when the mantle of spectivity swirled soft around my shoulders. I caught a glimpse of the cook in the backroom, how they wove a net of light with their fingers and transmuted some kind of dark sludge into sour cream, and I nudged Ana and she gagged a little and then we both devoured the potatoes anyway because we hadnât eaten since noon.
The magic of the moment gripped me, and I flexed my will against the worldâs. The colors of the potato stand melted into each other like sidewalk chalk in summer rain, and from the rivulets and swirls I guided us to the cookie shop weâd gone on a date to last month.Â
We startled the cashier, as teleportation tends to do, and he tucked away his phone, the movie still faintly playing from his pocket. âAhâwhat can I get you two?â
âRodleri, right?â I asked. When he nodded hesitantly, I said, âWalnut flour medium for me, please.â
âCranberry,â Ana said, and a heartbeat later we crumpled two empty cookie wrappers into the cheap paper boxes weâd gotten our dinner in.
I called the magic once more, the bakery becoming liquid blurs as we took the shortened path, and all at once we were face-to-face by the duck pond that had closed for maintenance last spring.
It was empty, the reflecting pond drained, but the moon found a home in Anaâs eyes instead. The singing velocity with which the night had passed seemed to slow a moment, perhaps caught and dammed up in the nearby pond. âYouâre pretty,â I said, poking her lightly in the shoulder.
Ana blushed. âYouâre beautiful,â she replied. âHonestly, I donât deserve you.â
I poked her again, harder, though I could have hit her as hard as I could and not made a dent in those arms of hers. âDoesnât matter what you deserve. I want you. You, Anachel. Youâre mine.â
Her breath hitched slightly, and she tilted her chin up, perhaps meant for agreement but swiftly repurposed to let me kiss her neck. âYours,â she managed to agree breathily.
I slid one hand under her shirt, but with a disappointed sigh Ana said, âWait.â
Immediately, the pleasant flush to my thoughts withdrew, and I took my hands off her, reassessing. She had a grim, frustrated expression, though given our chat in the tram I suspected it wasnât at me. âHey. You okay?â
She nodded. âYeah, I was really enjoying your⌠itâs not you,â she said. âIâm sorry, itâs just⌠not the time.â
The mantle of power that had swirled around me balked at the concept of not the time. For mine was the power that made ânext block overâ measure time instead of space, the power of streets blurred from laughter and nevermorrow sunrise. It was the magic of the moment, and letting that moment end would take the magic with it.
But if Ana wasnât in the mood, she wasnât in the mood, and that was that. The power didnât understandâit simply wasnât its nature. It was ephemeral and delicate as a strand of hair in the breeze, and it was never meant to be forever.
So carefully, I packed it away. I opened the greasy paper box lined with sugar cookie crumbs, holding it to the sky, and let it fill with moonlight. The power coursed from my heart and soul, and I knew I would never be able to teleport on my own, ever again.
But some shard of that was infused in the box, as I folded and sealed it for a rainy day.
The moment packed away, I sat on the stone bench overlooking an empty pond, nodding to Ana. âWe can just be with each other, if youâd like.â
She nodded slowly, sitting next to me. âYeah. Can we do that?â
Oh, sweet, silly Anachel. âOf course.â
She sat next to me, and after a moment, I lightly rested my head on her shoulder. She didnât stiffen or shift, just resting her head on mine. After a moment, she draped her jacket over my shoulders, holding in our warmth. And we stayed like that until our shoulders ached and the sun began to rise and a couple grumpy cops with rotten persimmons on their belts told us to clear out of what was, to them, just an empty pond.

nearly done my first shift and yâall. this may actually be a good workplace. I think I found it
#the manager has been nothing but lovely and supportive the whole day#and heâs like 23 so he defo knows what it means to be a retail worker in your 20s#and so the day has been really chill#the job seems pretty easy and heâs letting me take it really slow#slower than I probably need but I really appreciate it bc my previous jobs have not done that#and have sort of just thrown me in without a life preserver#and then I end up super anxious to go to work for like a month bc I donât know what Iâm doing and Iâm too scared to keep asking#but heâs been really good about explaining stuff and letting me know I can always ask him if I forget#so like. I genuinely think this is gonna be a good job#score

So today I want to talk about puberty blockers for transgender kids, because despite being cisgender, this is a subject Iâm actually well-versed in. Specifically, I want to talk about how far backwards things have gone.
This story starts almost 20 years ago, and itâs kind of long, but I think itâs important to give you the full history. At the time, I was working as an administrative assistant for a pediatric endocrinologist in a red state. Not a deep deep red state like Alabama, we had a little bit of a purple trend, but still very much red. (I donât want to say the state at the risk of doxxing myself.) And I took a phone call from a woman who said, âMy son is transgender. Does your doctor do hormone therapy?â
I said, âGood question! Let me find out.â
I went into the back and found the doctor playing Solitaire on his computer and said, âDo you do hormone therapy for transgender kids?â It had literally never come up before. He had opened his practice there in the early 2000s. This was roughly 2006, and the first time someone asked. Without looking up from his game of Solitaire, the doctor said, âIâve never done it before, but I know how it works, so sure.â
I got back on the phone and told the mom, who was overjoyed, and scheduled an appointment for her son. He was the first transgender child we treated with puberty blockers. But not, by far, the first child we treated with puberty blockers, period. Because puberty blockers are used very commonly for children with precocious puberty (early-onset puberty). I would say about twenty percent of the kids our doctor treated were for precocious puberty and were on puberty blockers. They have been well studied and are widely used, safe, and effective.
Well. It turned out, the doctor I worked for was the only doctor in the state who was willing to do this. And word spread pretty fast in the tight-knit community of âparents of transgender children in a red stateâ. We started seeing more kids. A better drug came out. We saw some kids who were at the age where they were past puberty, and prescribed them estrogen or testosterone. Our doctor became, Iâm fairly sure, a small folk hero to this community.Â
Insurance coverage was a struggle. I remember copying articles and pages out of the Endocrine Society Manual to submit with prior authorization requests for the medications. Insurance coverage was a struggle for a lot of what we did, though. Growth hormone for kids with severe idiopathic short stature. Insulin pumps, which werenât as common at the time, and then continuous glucose monitoring, when that came out. Insurance struggles were just part and parcel of the job.
I remember vividly when CVS Caremark, a pharmaceutical management company, changed their criteria and included gender dysphoria as a covered diagnosis for puberty blockers. I thought they had put the option on the questionnaire to trigger an automatic denial. But no - it triggered an approval. Medicaid started to cover it. I got so good at getting approvals with my by then tidy packet of articles and documentation that I actually had people in other states calling me to see what I was submitting (the pharmaceutical rep gave them my number because they wanted more people on their drug, which, shady, but sure. He did ask me if it was okay first).
And hereâs the key point of this story:
At no point, during any of this, did it ever even occur to any of us that we might have to worry about whether or not what we were doing was legal.
It just never even came up. It was the medically recommended treatment so we did it. And seeing whatâs happening in the UK and certain states in America is both terrifying and genuinely shocking to me, as someone who did this for almost fifteen years, without ever even wondering about the legality of it.
The doctor retired some years ago, at which point there were two other doctors in the state who were willing to prescribe the medications for transgender kids. I truly think that he would still be working if nobody else had been willing to take those kids on as patients. He was, by the way, a white cisgender heterosexual Boomer. I remember when he was introduced to the concept of âgenderfluidâ because one of our patients on HRT wanted to go off. He said âthatâs so interesting!â and immediately went to Google to learn more about it.Â
I watched these kids transform. I saw them come into the office the first time, sometimes anxious and uncertain, sometimes sullen and angry. I saw them come in the subsequent times, once they were on hormone therapy, how they gradually became happy and confident in themselves. I saw the smiles on their faces when I gave them a gender marker letter for the DMV. I heard them cheer when I called to tell them Iâd gotten HRT approved by insurance and we were calling in a prescription. It was honestly amazing and I will always consider the work I did in that red state with those kids to be something I am incredibly proud of. I was honored to be a part of it.
When I see all this transgender backlash, itâs horrifying, because it was well on the way to become standard and accepted treatment. Insurances started to cover it. Other doctors were learning to prescribe it. And now ⌠itâs fucking illegal? Like what the actual fuck. We have gone so far backwards that it makes me want to cry. I donât know how to stop this slide. But I wrote this so people would understand exactly how steep the slide is.

"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" Bios!
NAME: Aika (she/her) AGE: 15 Main Protagonist CV: Anairis QuiĂąones
BIO:
Aika is an easily excitable and energetic girl. She's generally optimistic and very friendly. She's always eager to try new things as long as it's not her fulltime job of being a magical girl.
As soon as her magical girl duties are brought into the picture, her demeanor changes. She checks out, and often looks for the quickest solution to solve the issue. No flashy transformations and special moves here. She's good with a metal baseball bat or a rocket launcher.
All Aika wants is to live a normal life, make friends and go to school. Unfortunately, like every main protagonist, trouble manages to follow her wherever she goes.
___________________________________
NAME: Zira (she/they) AGE: 16 Love Interest Best Friend CV: Bennett Abara
BIO:
Zira is everything Aika wants to be. Painfully average, under the radar and a self proclaimed loser.
She's a smart girl but has a hard time applying herself. Instead of paying attention in school, and doing extracurriculars, Zira would much rather be reading her favorite magical girl manga "Moon Sailor".
After Aika forces her friendship upon them, Zira now has to tag along on all of Aika's escapades and experiences new things. Ew. However, they admire Aika deeply and admire her even more after Aika's magical secret comes to light.
___________________________________
NAME: Hoshi (any/they/them) AGE: unknown Magical Sidekick CV: Christine Marie Cabanos
BIO:
Hoshi is a magical star being sent to Earth to find the chosen one. They made a great choice with Aika, as she's amazing at her job. The only issue is she hates it and is often trying to dodge responsibilities (and Hoshi).
When Aika first started, and still had her heart in it, Hoshi was definitely more neurotic and acted as your typical mentor/magical sidekick. But over time, they gave up on trying to tell Aika what to do and also became a little more apathetic. Aika was getting the job done at least, so what's the problem?
Hoshi still has to make sure Aika doesn't completely give up on being the Star Guardian: Guardian of the Stars, which Aika finds annoying.
___________________________________
NAME: Eclipse (he/him) AGE: 15 Minor Antagonist CV: Aleks Le
BIO:Eclipse is a flamboyant and theatrical individual whose showmanship is out of this world. He refers to himself as
"Eclipse: Servant of Darkness".
He was a D-list antagonist that Aika and her team would fight on occasion. Mostly just saving citizens from him being a nuisance. Eclipse has deluded himself into thinking that he's Aika's rival, main antagonist and love interest. Their love is simply forbidden as he's chosen the path of darkness and her, the light.
After Aika ran away, he managed to find her again. However this time he actually has powers??? Where did those come from? It's as if he's made a deal with darkness itself.
___________________________________
NAME: Lady DeVoid (she/her) AGE: Old Main Antagonist/Big Bad CV: Shara Kirby
BIO: Lady DeVoid is darkness itself. She's a mysterious being with an incomprehensible amount of power. Power that is currently weakened and that she actually has no idea how to use. She can't seem to remember for some reason...
All she knows is that a long time ago she was defeated and banished by a Star Guardian and that she now wants revenge. The only power she has at her disposal is creating particles of darkness that she can use to possess animate or inanimate objects to create monsters. She prefers others do her dirty work.
She enlists the help of Eclipse to spread these particles with the hopes that it'll eventually destroy the Star Guardian.
___________________________________
NAME: Miss (she/her) AGE: 39 Side Character CV: Michele Knotz
BIO:
Miss is Aika and Zira's very tired teacher. Looking at her, you might assume she hates her job, but it's quite the opposite. She pours everything into her work and into her students, leaving very little time for her personal life.
She's recently started trying to get it together (after her ex-wife left her) but is still struggling to find that work-life balance.
Prior to Aika enrolling, Miss was Zira's only friend at school and, though she'd never admit it, Zira's probably the closest thing she has to a friend also (oof). She's subsequently become a secret Moon Sailor fan too.

CW: 18+ MDNI, price x scam caller!reader, cyber stalking - unedited - dividers -> @/cafekitsune
Can you imagine being in a rough place when a friend of a friend of a friend manages to rope you into scam calling?
And when your first target ever is John Price?
He knows something is up instantly. He knows you donât work for a bank, not with the way your voice shakes and tumbles over your script- but he lets you think he believes you, lets you give him the runaround, even throws you one of the gift cards youâve been told to ask for. Itâs not too bad when he gets to listen to your cute voice for the duration of the call, guiding him through the steps.
Slowly and without your knowledge, he gathers information on you and the office youâre calling from- taps into your camera too. He watches you fuss and frown as he begins to mess up small tasks, then when youâre trying to get him back on track, he drops your full legal name.
The line falls silent.
âThatâs you, isnât it love?â
Thereâs a smile audible in his voice as you sputter with wide eyes, processing whatâs happening.
âDonât hang up-â he orders and you comply, you can tell it wouldnât end well if you did. âNot nice to scam old men, you hard on cash?â
You lower your voice so no one else in the room can hear. âYes, sir.â
Heâs grateful for your honesty, but heâd much rather hear a phrase like that while youâre bouncing on his lap.
âI donât like being taken for a fool, but Iâm a nice man.â His tone is self important. âTell me- do you like this job? Do you feel good when you successfully scam other old folk?â
Through the webcam, you look about ready to cry as your head bows down into the cheap office cubicle. âS-sir, you- th-this was my first day.â
â-Shh, itâs okay love.â He coos âyouâre not in trouble.â
You sniffle quietly.
â-But you do owe me back what youâve taken. Iâm not a man you steal from.â
You pale, he had sent you a pretty hefty amount- but it had already gone to the person running the operation. âI-I donât- I canât-â
âWe can work something out.â He hums as his eyes flit over your home address on the screen in front of him, readjusting in his seat. â-Like I said, Iâm a nice man. Now, go home and be good for me, have to send in some reports on your esteemed employer. I have your personal number, love. Iâll be in touch.â

Ways I can think of that âDanDaDanâ differs from other shonen series:
* Female MC is as important as male MC
* Canon romance gets consistent development through the series. I think thatâs part of the reason why the MC ships with the rivals (Aira, Jiji) arenât as popular with the fandom for once. The main ship is actually getting good development, so the fanbase doesnât have to make up headcanons to fill in the space.
* Flips the found family trope on its head by having the main group despise new people whenever they show up and they even actively try to kick them out. The new people only end up staying because they keep lingering around to the point that the main group just gives up and lets them stay.
* The rivals arenât emo or angst-ridden. Aira is a delusional tryhard popular girl while Jiji is a himbo drama queen. Iâd even go as far to say that the MCs are the ones who are emo and angst-ridden.
* Supporting cast is more than just important, they become integral to the story. Iâd say that the further you read into DanDaDan, the more it becomes an ensemble cast where everyone is a protagonist in their own right.
* World-building is all over the place, but in a good way. Most other shonen are pretty consistent with what kind of world their characters live in. MHA is superhero-based, Naruto is ninjas and magic, Bleach is spirits, and so on. DanDaDan feels like the author just throws whatever cool shit they can think of into the story. Thatâs actually the reason why I wrote in a different post that DanDaDan reminds me more of Marvel/DC than any other shonen series, it manages to capture the catch-all insanity of those comics.
* Doesnât rely on hidden power-ups. The main characters either have to outsmart the villains or they have to train to get better with the powers they already have.
* The pervert comic relief guy is actually endearing for once. Not because of his pervert tendencies, but because heâs so oblivious to how socially inept he is that itâs kind of funny. This is gonna sound strange, but he sorta reminds me of Thor in Thor Ragnarok. Full of himself and oblivious to how dumb he can be. Heâs Thor without the good looks lol.
* Flips the ânerdy outcast loser somehow gets a haremâ trope. Instead of making Okarun cooler than how he actually is, the story emphasizes that the women who fall for Okarun are as weird as him. Momo is a weird outcast, Aira has main character syndrome, Vamola doesnât understand how to human because sheâs literally not one, Rin thought Okarun was a vampire (and wanted him to be).
* Flips the âelderly figure in charge of the teenagersâ trope. I donât really get motherly figure vibes from Seiko Ayase, I get more âcool wine aunt who is stuck with her nieceâ vibes. In fact, there was the arc where Okarun showed up to her in spirit mode to get her help with fighting off the alien invasion and Seikoâs response was, âWell, Iâm not in the area and I have other shit to do, so you kids figure it out.â
* The series takes the piss out of the trope of mystical/magical items that the group acquired to get their powers. I meanâŚthe main mystical MacGuffin in the series are Okarunâs balls.
* Okarun was about to go into an âIâm weak / I wish I was stronger / I want to get stronger for my friendsâ breakdown, but Turbo Granny told him to shut up and keep fighting.
* Not afraid to put the âcool girlâ in as many funny situations as possible. Off the top of my head, the series built up Momo as this cool, tough girl who doesnât take shit from anyoneâŚthen several chapters later, Okarun found out she got a job at a maid cafe.
(Feel free to add to the list!)

Eat that girl for lunch
Nsfw- Choso x fem reader- explicit- pussydrunk Choso lol

Choso could eat you out forever, he can't stop his mouth from latching on your clit, sucking on it and flicking it with the barbell of his tongue ring, making you cum all over his face as you yank on those dark pigtails. He has been at it so long, you can't think or function anymore, cunt throbbing around nothing as you whine out.
"P-please... get up here..." He's staring up at you with those violet eyes, lidded and pussy drunk.
"S-sorry baby, can't stop. Need more of you all over m'face. Once more?" He asks, slipping two long, thick fingers inside your pussy, you whine at it, so overstimulated, his other hand pressing into the plush of your thigh, dark painted nails pressing against your skin.
"Can't anymore, too much, I... Choso!" You're gushing as his fingers fuck into your gummy walls, he's hitting that spot he knows so well, exhaling and flicking that ring on your clit again, your hips buck up against his face.
"You taste too sweet. You're too pretty." He's cooing as his fingers squish into your soppy cunt, you hear how loud it is in the room, gushing all over his fingers now, dripping down those black rings he wears. "You're doing such a good job."
"Please, fuck me... please..." You give him the puppy eyes, but he gives them right back, slipping a third finger, your pussy sucks him up greedily.
"One more?" He's back down, you're yanking on his pigtails, whining out, Choso may seem so sweet, but he loses it when he licks you, when you cum all over his handsome face, covering him with your slick. "Another?"
You glare now. "Choso! Get your dick in me now."
"S-sorry baby!" He leans up now, lining his cock with your entrance, you're so overstimulated you're crying, he wipes them gently, full lips pouting. "I got carried away again."
You exhale in relief when he fills you finally, it's been an hour of this, you're kissing yourself off him, tasting the sweetness. "S'okay Cho, please..." He finally sinks into you, walls fluttering around his thick length, piercing on his cock hitting just the right spot as he entwines his fingers with your own.
"Better, baby?" You can't manage an answer, but Choso takes your eyes rolling back and thighs tightening on his hips as a yes.
Choso needed a drabble aha- Choso fic heerre: Keep This Lowkey

chinese room 2
So thereâs this guy, right? He sits in a room by himself, with a computer and a keyboard full of Chinese characters. He doesnât know Chinese, though, in fact he doesnât even realise that Chinese is a language. He just thinks itâs a bunch of odd symbols. Anyway, the computer prints out a paragraph of Chinese, and he thinks, whoa, cool shapes. And then a message is displayed on the computer monitor: which character comes next?
This guy has no idea how the hell heâs meant to know that, so he just presses a random character on the keyboard. And then the computer goes BZZZT, wrong! The correct character was THIS one, and it flashes a character on the screen. And the guy thinks, augh, dammit! I hope I get it right next time. And sure enough, computer prints out another paragraph of Chinese, and then it asks the guy, what comes next?
He guesses again, and he gets it wrong again, and he goes augh again, and this carries on for a while. But eventually, he presses the button and it goes DING! You got it right this time! And he is so happy, you have no idea. This is the best day of his life. He is going to do everything in his power to make that machine go DING again. So he starts paying attention. He looks at the paragraph of Chinese printed out by the machine, and cross-compares it against all the other paragraphs heâs gotten. And, recall, this guy doesnât even know that this is a language, itâs just a sequence of weird symbols to him. But itâs a sequence that forms patterns. He notices that if a particular symbol is displayed, then the next symbol is more likely to be this one. He notices some symbols are more common in general. Bit by bit, he starts to draw statistical inferences about the symbols, he analyses the printouts every way he can, he writes extensive notes to himself on how to recognise the patterns.
Over time, his guesses begin to get more and more accurate. He hears those lovely DING sounds that indicate his prediction was correct more and more often, and he manages to use that to condition his instincts better and better, picking up on cues consciously and subconsciously to get better and better at pressing the right button on the keyboard. Eventually, his accuracy is like 70% or something -- pretty damn good for a guy who doesnât even know Chinese is a language.
* * *
One day, something odd happens.
He gets a printout, the machine asks what character comes next, and he presses a button on the keyboard and-- silence. No sound at all. Instead, the machine prints out the exact same sequence again, but with one small change. The character he input on the keyboard has been added to the end of the sequence.
Which character comes next?
This weirds the guy out, but he thinks, well. This is clearly a test of my prediction abilities. So Iâm not going to treat this printout any differently to any other printout made by the machine -- shit, Iâll pretend that last printout I got? Never even happened. Iâm just going to keep acting like this is a normal day on the job, and Iâm going to predict the next symbol in this sequence as if it was one of the thousands of printouts Iâve seen before. And thatâs what he does! He presses what symbol comes next, and then another printout comes out with that symbol added to the end, and then he presses what he thinks will be the next symbol in that sequence. And then, eventually, he thinks, âhm. I donât think thereâs any symbol after this one. I think this is the end of the sequence.â And so he presses the âENDâ button on his keyboard, and sits back, satisfied.
Unbeknownst to him, the sequence of characters he input wasnât just some meaningless string of symbols. See, the printouts he was getting, they were all always grammatically correct Chinese. And that first printout heâd gotten that day in particular? It was a question: âHow do I open a door.â The string of characters he had just input, what he had determined to be the most likely string of symbols to come next, formed a comprehensible response that read, âYou turn the handle and pushâ.
* * *
One day you decide to visit this guyâs office. Youâve heard heâs learning Chinese, and for whatever reason you decide to test his progress. So you ask him, âHey, which character means dog?â
He looks at you like youâve got two heads. You may as well have asked him which of his shoes means âdogâ, or which of the hairs on the back of his arm. Thereâs no connection in his mind at all between language and his little symbol prediction game, indeed, he thinks of it as an advanced form of mathematics rather than anything to do with linguistics. He hadnât even conceived of the idea that what he was doing could be considered a kind of communication any more than algebra is. He says to you, âBuddy, theyâre just funny symbols. No need to get all philosophical about it.â
Suddenly, another printout comes out of the machine. He stares at it, puzzles over it, but you can tell he doesnât know what it says. You do, though. Youâre fluent in the language. You can see that it says the words, âDo you actually speak Chinese, or are you just a guy in a room doing statistics and shit?â
The guy leans over to you, and says confidently, âI know it looks like a jumble of completely random characters. But itâs actually a very sophisticated mathematical sequence,â and then he presses a button on the keyboard. And another, and another, and another, and slowly but surely he composes a sequence of characters that, unbeknownst to him, reads âYes, I know Chinese fluently! If I didnât I would not be able to speak with you.â
That is how ChatGPT works.
