i used to be really into lolita fashion and i still follow a couple communities occasionally but lately it's struck me as really...idk what the right word is maybe someone else will know. outfits posted with apologies or explanations for perceived inadequacies or with "concrit accepted!" attached as a way to signal that you know it isn't perfect, that you're sure someone else could do it better. "sorry for my shoes!" "i know my hair looks bad!" "am i too tall for this dress?" "i have a better petticoat coming, i promise!" like God i know it's the culture of this community and the compulsion to fit in and to do it Right and the fear of being "ita" and getting mocked on 4chan boards but i promise. I promise you can just wear sneakers. You can just wear your natural hair. You can wear what you want without killing yourself about it and bending over backwards to please people who couldnt give two shits about you either way. Like what is the point when you are so fucking afraid constantly and you always feel like an outsider and you can never enjoy what you have because you're thinking about how you could be Better no matter what
#& it hurts so much to see bc i have a lot of love for the egl community in my heart#and i know that ppl can be incredibly kind and friendly and welcoming#but the constant criticism makes me more uncomfortable the further away i am from it#sorry this is so Not the kind of thing i usually post but i needed to get it out#.txt

Hello C: may i ask for a matchup with dbd survivors? Imma put the info here,
I use she/her pronouns and i’m bisexual.
I have long black hair with bangs, i’m 5’2, I’m very feminine, I tend to wear a girly style(like long skirts, cardigans, loafers, hairbands, jewelry, etc).
🫶🏼I am an ISFJ 9w1, I have an Aqua moon/sun and virgo rising, I am a true neutral, My love language is touch and quality time, I like to tease close friends, I have been described as shy,friendly, understanding, accepting, kind hearted, open minded, self sacrificing, and supportive, People have also said that i give out a very chill and comforting aura. Ppl tend to vent to me easily (which i don’t mind!!). Some of my flaws are that i have pretty bad trust issues, socially awkward yet social(it’s literally the worst), slow, paranoid, a bit sensitive, VERY snappy when mad and forgetful. Idk if it helps but here are some of my kins, Aimee Gibbs, Sayori, perfuma, Tanjiro Kamado, Lain, Rory gilmore, Nana komatsu, Mindy meeks, elle woods, rarity, Kaworu Nagisa, and Tahani Al Jamil!! :)
🫶🏼My hobbies are making outfits, reading, ceramics, journaling, and shopping. My interests are HORROR, perfumes, fashion, and psychology! Some facts about me is that I babysit! I major in psychology and plan to work in child development, and i would love to have a job as a florist as well! I LOVE music, like i literally can’t live with out it lol.
that’s it! sorry if i put too much info, i tend to go a bit overboard on these. thank you and have a nice day(remember to take breaks!!)<3
Claudette would be a good match for you!
Honestly? You remind me quite a bit of Claudette! Both of you are kind, sensitive, open-minded, and supportive, to name a few.
If you met in the Fog, she would really appreciate having someone with a calming, relaxing aura; while Claudette isn't as anxious as some of the other Survivors, she tends to be the one many go to for advice, remedies, etc. While I'm not saying she'd go to you like that, necessarily, having someone around who can help her relax is a very welcome change.
However, if you do lend an ear to her when she needs to vent, she'll appreciate it more than you may know. She is incredibly used to not really getting the chance to share what's on her mind, her troubles, or her anxieties as usually she doesn't have someone to do so with, or the time isn't appropriate. You providing her with a space (bonus points if you're very reassuring and supportive with words, too) means the world to her.
More than happy to indulge you in both of your love languages: while she's not huge on PDA, hand holding, head-on-shoulder relaxing, and the occasional head-in-lap nap are some of her favorite ways to touch and be close to you. Doesn't matter who's resting on who - she just loves being physical with you in such a tender manner, especially if you two have time to yourselves.
Claude is a very patient, understanding person. She understands that you have trust issues and tend to be anxious and a bit paranoid, and is more than willing to let you take your time to warm up to things. She has pretty thick skin, to a degree - while she can get a bit flustered if someone snaps at her or is particularly rude, it, more often than not, rolls right off her back, and this extends to you (especially if she knows you're struggling at the time).
Thinks your interest in regards to working in childcare is sweet, and loves that you like flowers enough to want to be a florist!

love you as you are ~ yungblud
word count: 1462
request?: yes!
“ Hi! How are you doing? If u are not too busy, could I request something with coworkers or friends to lovers - Dominic Harrison with insecure reader? (don’t mean to romantizice insecurities, reading things like that makes me feel less alone sometimes and I am pretty sure it happens to other ppl too) Stay safe, much love 🖤🖤”
description: in which his life long friend constantly compares herself to the girls he dates, and he’s finally starting to notice
pairing: yungblud x female!reader
warnings: swearing, insecurities
masterlist
My worst bad habit was looking at pictures of Dom with his girlfriend’s and finding a flaw for myself in all of them.
That’s what I was doing when he called one day. New pictures had arisen of him and Ashley, although he insisted that they weren’t back together and probably would never get back together. They seemed cozy, and the smile on his face was so wide and bright, it was obvious he was happy with her. He always had been happy with her.
Her eyes were so pretty, her skin was flawless, she could pull off any hairstyle or color, her style was constantly on point, she...
My ringing phone brought me out of my daze. A picture of Dom smiling filled my screen along with his name. I couldn’t help but compare that smile with the one in the picture with Ashley. Was it as wide? Was he as happy?
“Hello?” I finally answered.
“(Y/N)!” Dom exclaimed. “What are you doing right now?”
“Just chilling at home.”
“Great! I’m coming over. Be there in five minutes!”
I was confused. The pictures I was looking at were supposedly recent, but he was here? Did that mean the pictures were fake? Or...was Ashley here?
Before I could ask any questions, Dom hung up. I paced the apartment, worried that Ashley would show up with Dom. I had nothing against Ashley, she was nice and I had been a fan since before she started dating Dom. I just...I couldn’t see her with Dom like that.
Before I knew it, Dom was letting himself into my place and making himself at home. He immediately laid down on the couch and looked up at, me catching mid-pace.
“Welcome,” I said sarcastically. “I didn’t know you were home.”
He gave me a weird look. “What do you mean? We’ve been texting all week. I told you we were gonna make plans soon.”
Oh yeah, that’s right. How did I forget that?
“Why didn’t you think I was home?”
I shrugged, trying to play it off. “I just saw some paparazzi pictures - ”
Dom cut me off with a groan. “Whatever it was, it’s bullshit. Paps are vultures and they’ll post any bullshit to get clicks.
I felt extremely stupid, but I was glad he didn’t seem upset or anything. As I sat down next to him, though, he asked, “What were the pictures of?”
I wasn’t sure how to respond. Do I tell him the truth? What would he think if I told him it was pictures of him and Ashley?
“Nothing,” I responded with a shrug.
Dom gave me another look. “Okay, it was obviously not nothing. You can tell me, (Y/N), I’ve probably read worse about myself.”
I sighed heavily, knowing Dom wasn’t just going to drop this. “It was pictures of you and Ash, and it was saying you two were back together again.”
Dom’s immediate reaction was a loud laugh, which caught me off guard at first, but I soon realized that his laugh meant that he and Ashley weren’t together, and he was right in saying that they probably never would be together at all.
“I haven’t seen Ash in months,” he admitted. “She’s off dating someone else now, if I was spotted out with her, it’s only as friends.”
For some reason, knowing that Dom was potentially still friends with Ashley put me back in my down mood. They were friends, but they used to date. He didn’t look at her the way he looked at me. I was a really just a friend, but she was his beautiful ex-girlfriend. He probably still loved her, I wouldn’t blame him, she was probably the best person in the world. She was so nice and kind and caring, she was so sweet to me. She...
“(Y/N),” Dom said, snapping his fingers in front of my face. He pulled me out of my trance and I looked at him, trying to pretend nothing had happened. “Where did you go then?”
“Nowhere,” I responded. “I guess I just zoned out, it happens. What were you saying?”
He was looking at me hard, almost studying my face. “Are you okay, (Y/N)? You just...you seem off today.”
“I’m fine,” I insisted. “It’s nothing, can we drop it?”
We both went silent for a moment. I couldn’t handle it, there were so many thoughts running through my head that I needed a distraction. I turned on the TV and put on a random station that was playing some movie I had no interest in. I sat back and pretended to be invested in what was going on, but in reality, I was just trying to keep myself from thinking about Dom and Ashley.
I could feel Dom’s eyes on me. He was watching me intently, waiting for a crack. Dom knew me better than anyone had, and I knew that he knew when I was upset. I was hoping he’d leave it be and just bring up something for the two of us to do, but instead, when he did finally speak, he asked, “Is it because of me and Ash?”
I tried to hold back any signs that he was right, but I knew it was no use. I sighed again and looked down at my lap. “Not really...but kind of?”
Dom tilted his head in confusion. “What do you mean? What’s wrong with Ash?”
“Nothing, that’s the problem!” I responded. “She’s so perfect! God, I wish I had just a fraction of her perfection.”
I glanced up at Dom and saw that he was starting to understand. “You can’t compare yourself to Ash, (Y/N). You’re two different people, with different personalities and different...well everything. You can’t actually be comparing yourself to her.”
“I can’t help it,” I admitted, tears starting to prick my eyes. “You always date the most beautiful girls, both inside and out, and I can’t help but compare myself to them because...”
Dom moved closer to me, placing one of his hands on top of mine. I couldn’t get the words out. How do you admit to your best friend that you’ve had feelings for them for so long without weirding them out? Was it even possible to do that and maintain the friendship?
“(Y/N), you’re perfect as you are,” he said before I could finish my sentence. “You don’t have to compare yourself to anyone, let alone the girls I date. In case you haven’t noticed, you’ve been around much longer than those girls, and there’s a reason for that. It’s because you’re a genuine person, and you care so much for me, and, this may be awkward, but I think you’re incredibly cute. I love you as you are, I’d hate to see you turn into someone you’re not.”
I couldn’t help but scoff at his choice of wording. “Don’t say that.”
“Don’t say what?”
“That you love me. It gives me false hope.”
Dom was confused a moment before he finally put two and two together. “What if I mean it in more than just a friendly way?”
I glared at him this time. “Don’t do that.”
“I’m serious, (Y/N)! What if I like you too? What if I always have? What would you say?”
I wasn’t sure if I believed him. Why would I? He’s never even given me a sign that he could potentially like me. Saying this now, especially with the conversation we were having, just felt like some sort of sick joke he was playing on me.
But, as I looked into those eyes that I had loved for so long, I could tell he was being genuine. Had he really liked me all this time?
Before I could say anything else, Dom pulled me close and kissed the top of my head. “You’re perfect as you are, (Y/N). Who you are is what I love the most about you. Please don’t compare yourself to others, especially not to any of the girls I’ve dated.”
“You really mean that?”
His chest vibrated as he laughed. “Of course I do.”
I couldn’t help but smile as I wiped the tears from my eyes. “I really like you, Dom.”
“I like you, too, (Y/N).”
We fell back into a comfortable silence then. I wasn’t quite sure what this meant for us. We had both just admitted to having feelings for one another, so what comes next?
In that moment, I didn’t care. All I cared about was being in Dom’s arms, my ear pressed against his chest as I listened to his steady heartbeat. I was just happy to have him there with me, and to finally have that truth off my chest.

Headcannon: Shieldmaiden friend with his brothers
My Masterlist
Pairing: Ivar/Reader
Summary: “I was hoping I could request a headcanon of Ivar being nervous around a new shieldmaiden that is friends with his brothers? He finds her attractive, but that makes him nervous bc of his legs and what ppl have said all his life.”
Word Count: 1.9k
Warnings: My horrible attempts at whatever the fuck this ended up being, nothing else I can think of.
A/N: So yeah, I made a thing. Am I happy with the thing? Nope. Am I proud of the thing? Nopity nope. Am I gonna post it anyways and hope you guys don’t hate it? Yep.
But yeah, first time writing headcanons, first time diving head first into season 4 Ivar. I sincerely hope you like it, and idk, would love to hear your thoughts, good or bad, on this one. Thank you!
Taglist: @1950schick
· You were one of the shieldmaidens to accompany Björn to the Mediterranean, and you grew close to both him and Hvitserk on the journey.
· You joined the Great Heathen Army alongside your brother, and everyone was surprised to see Björn sprint towards you as soon as he saw your ship, lifting you off the ground in a tight embrace.
· Although Sigurd isn’t too thrilled or interested in you, both Ubbe and Ivar are immediately drawn to you.
· The former, because there’s rumors about how you once bested Björn when sparring with those curved swords.
· The latter, for completely different reasons. Though, you being a great warrior does help.
· With you being close to his brothers Ivar finds himself knowing more and more about you with every passing day, and in the midst of the war to avenge his father, with his heart heavy with pain and loss, he finds you, with your easy smiles and your friendly nature, a welcome distraction.
· That’s what he calls it, at first. When he spends each chance he has watching you from afar, witnessing your interactions with the group of shieldmaidens you call sisters in arms; when he finds himself thinking of you late at night and early in the morning; when he realizes he misses you when you’re gone, even though he tells himself he has nothing to miss.
· The realization that he actually feels something for you dawns on him when he sees some Dane warrior dancing with you on a feast after Aelle is conquered, and the urge to stake his claim, to go there and interrupt whatever it is that is happening before his eyes, fills him, makes an impulsive hand reach for the axe at his side.
· Ivar is…well, Ivar, so there’s no way he’d willingly let you -or anyone else, for that matter- know that he’s interested in you.
· Which he is. Very much so. Because, much to his growing frustration -in more ways than one- he can’t get you out of his head.
· Still, that doesn’t mean he’d willingly disclose it. He isn’t subtle, though.
· But people notice. His brothers notice.
· Björn isn’t thrilled with it, but considering Aslaug isn’t alive to bend to Ivar’s will and have some poor girl forced into marriage with the youngest son of Ragnar, he isn’t too concerned. If something happens, it is because you choose it so, and that’s enough for him.
· Ubbe bristles up. He knows bits and pieces of what happened with Margrethe, but he has been witness too many times of how Sigurd uses what happened with her against Ivar- something he swears one day will end in tragedy, thankfully nothing too difficult to contain or heal so far-; and he still feels responsible about setting up the whole thing. The last thing he wants is for it to happen again, with someone that is quickly becoming a close friend of him and his brothers.
· And of course, Sigurd notices, and is cruelly delighted in it. He does try a couple of times teasing Ivar about it when you’re near, but you never stood for those kinds of games, so he was eventually discouraged from continuing.
· Doesn’t stop him from privately tormenting Ivar about it. It is his duty as older brother after all, and since Ubbe is too busy mothering Ivar, and Hvitserk too busy trying to fuck his way through England, it falls unto him. He may go too far once or twice, but their relationship has always been that way.
· Sigurd’s teasing only manages to put Ivar more and more on edge about these stupid -pathetic, useless, soft- feelings, and the few times you try getting close to him, he usually snaps at you or reacts badly.
· Because you are very interested, even if you are much better at hiding it. Ivar proves to be incredibly smart, and with the march of the Great Heathen Army being the first time you’ve travelled this far from home, fought in so many important battles, you find yourself fascinated by him and the way he seems to understand what goes beyond fighting, what becomes war.
· But, when you are try getting close to him with subtle flirting or soft touches, Ivar thinks you are pitying him or mocking him, and when you are more direct and try finding common ground to get to know each other, he thinks you’re pushing him away.
· It confuses you, and frankly, it confuses him too.
· It confuses everyone that has become an unwilling spectator to all of this.
· Ivar does try his best at being nice to you, it just manages to backfire most of the time.
· You could be sharing a meal with him and his brothers, and he’d try complimenting you, saying something about how you have proven to be a fine shieldmaiden. But feeling too many eyes on him, feeling like he left himself open for ridicule or rejection, he’d add something else, like how you are obviously aided by the fact you use weapons not familiar to Vikings.
· He’d fuck most things up, is what I mean.
· And he’d know -and you’d make it very much clear- that he has upset you, or made you angry.
· He would try apologizing, but it is Ivar, so “I’m sorry” won’t leave his lips unless someone pries it off him, so, he’d try…alternative approaches.
· First, gifts. Women like those, right? He’d try buying the prettiest, most expensive thing he can find, and leaving it for you to find. Or, if he is in a particularly good day -if he managed to get one up on Sigurd, maybe, that’d be a good day- he’d give it to you in person.
· Throwing expensive things at you wouldn’t exactly work, making you feel inadequate and cheap. He notices, so he’d try something else.
· He wants you closer, so he makes it so that you always sit with him and his brothers at the table where the leaders of the army dine.
· Before long many men -including Harald, to whom Ivar notices you giving easier smiles than the rest, much to his horror- manage to sleaze their way to the chair at your other side, chatting with you during the nights, making you smile and laugh.
· When word of how one of them tried talking your brother into a marriage arrangement reaches Ivar, he pulls back on his idea of having you sit with him.
· To you, it just looks like a rejection, and Ivar notices you grow colder, more distant.
· With the threat of how desired you have proven yourself to be, a beautiful woman and a fierce shieldmaiden, hanging over his head, Ivar grows more and more restless, and resolute he has to prove to you he can offer you much more than any of these men can.
· He tries everything he can think of. Make it so that you are there when he beats his brothers in target practice, boast about how his strategy was what won them many a battle against the Saxons, repeat the tales about how he and his brothers are descended from the Gods themselves.
· When Ivar makes the contraptions for his legs, he goes to find you with -barely contained, he shouldn’t even bother trying to hide it really- enthusiasm, trying to show off in front of you.
· He ties a lot of his self-worth into how people perceive him, into how much of a ‘normal man’ he can pass off as, and as we know he stands a lot prouder and a lot more confident once he gains more control of the Great Army and manages to make those things.
· When you see him, though, even though he is preening and standing tall, chin high and shoulders squared; all you do is look at the contraptions around his legs and back into his eyes.
· “You’re a better fighter without those.” You’d say, and nothing else.
· Ivar would sulk. There’s no way to impress you, nothing he can do to make you look at him with that mischievous streak you share with Hvitserk, or that companiable closeness you have with Björn.
· Anger would quickly enough win over any impulse to sulk and feel sorry for himself, though.
· He’d eventually grow colder, crueler, towards you. He’d feel like you rejected him, and being angry towards you -and in return making you be angry towards him- gives him someone to blame, gives him some way of letting the pain have form, have a target for all the mess of emotions it leaves inside him.
· When Björn starts making plans to return to the Mediterranean, he fully expects to see you depart following his brother and never seeing you again.
· He hates himself for grieving the loss of you, someone he never had, someone that -as far as he knows- never cared about him anyways.
· But he does. The day when Björn and those who choose to come with him will depart East approaches, and Ivar is more on edge than ever.
· Restless, angry, and with no one to blame but himself. But, of course, he won’t do that, no.
· He taunts you, makes jabs at you and how you run after Björn like an enamored thrall, points out you choose to sail a ship like a coward instead of staying here -staying with him- and fighting the Saxons.
· When you snap back, voice loud and eyes furious, that you were never planning on sailing back with Björn, you manage for once to stun Ivar into silence.
· You don’t even give him time to hold on to cruelty, to the pain and anger he uses as both a weapon and a shield. You stand up from the table and leave the hall.
· Hvitserk doesn’t lift his head from his food, but still grumbles that he should go after her. At Ivar’s affronted frown, Ubbe insists that he should, offering his little brother a sly smile and something about going to find his woman.
· Ivar would deny to his very grave and beyond it that his ears turned red at the implication behind Ubbe’s words.
· But he did, trying to dispel thoughts that told him how he was running after you like a lovesick puppy.
· When he finds you, you are still angry, because of course you are. And your anger is to Ivar like an electric shock over an exposed nerve, drawing out all the vitriol and fury and explosiveness.
· Before long he has managed to make you angrier than he has ever seen you, and your voices rise with your tempers.
· A second time you manage to stun Ivar into silence comes shortly after the argument between the two erupts.
· He doesn’t even remember what he was about to say, only that with a few words about how you chose to stay with the Great Army for him makes all the thoughts on his head disappear.
· Before he can twist himself into knots about it, thinking how it must surely be a lie, how you are playing some cruel trick on him; you lean in and kiss him.
· Ivar doesn’t know how to react, not at first. The only woman he has kissed before was a slave his brother instructed to sleep with him, and he refuses to think of that night, of that woman.
· He stays frozen under your touch, until you pull back, and smile.
· He realizes when lack of air makes your kiss end that in your eyes you don’t have that glint of playfulness you share with Hvitserk, or that comfortable understanding you have with Björn; but something more tender, more real, and definitely hungrier.
____
So yeah, that’s that. I have never written headcanons before, and I struggle a lot with season 4 Ivar (who am I kidding, I struggle with writing Ivar in general) even tho he is my favorite Ivar. Idk, I gave it my best, hopefully I can learn from this and get better at it lol
Thank you so much for reading, lovelies!! <3

Ex-MMA Fighter Xie Lian AU
A super random AU I thought up in the shower (because that’s where all our best thoughts come from). Essentially borne from my amusement at how Xie Lian, in his youth, was super obsessed with really good fighters (a tidbit that I feel goes woefully unmentioned in fandom and even by the author later in the novel). Posting because I need to get the idea out of my head and possibly actually start writing it.
(Also I don’t actually know anything about the MMA world, especially competitively - I just dabbled in Judo/Karate in my late teens, but that’s about it).
So basically. Imagine, XL is a super sweet but clumsy department head at Heavenly Officials Ltd. (I have no idea what kind of company this actually is, ideas are welcome), whom his staff all adore but also kind of worry for cuz omg is he super air headed and clutzy and fucking hopeless. Just the other week he managed to spill coffee all over his laptop--his third one of the year and it’s only March! But he is literally so nice, and despite his clumsiness is actually super competent at his job and his department always gets stellar results (what department are they? I have no clue, I know nothing about the corporate world).
What none of his staff/coworkers know is that their ridiculously clumsy boss used to be a champion mixed martial arts fighter in his university days. Or that he would even be interested in something as brutal as MMA cage matches since XL is a known pacifist who will go out of his way to catch bugs and place them safely outside when he has the time. But then one of the IT guys - in the process of fixing his laptop and restoring his hard drive finds a folder filled with videos and pictures of MMA cage matches all featuring the same fighter... you guessed it, Hua Cheng (I know MMA is not wrestling, but let’s pretend stage names are a thing in the competitive MMA world as well so HC is his fighter name in the arena)! The gossip spreads like wildfire, but everyone just thinks XL is just a fan of this ridiculously attractive fighter and don’t really think beyond that (although they do think it’s kind of adorable that XL seems to be such a huge fanboy of this gorgeous, gorgeous man).
And the thing is - the staff have heard vague snippets from XL himself about his husband, “San Lang” who they have yet to meet because apparently he is often busy in the evenings and is therefore unable to attend corporate events. But they don’t make the connection that the adorable San Lang who cooks and pampers their boss could be the incredibly brutal and violent HC (his staff all decided to review some videos just to see who has captured their bosses interest and most of them are erm... quite surprised).
Then of course, someone does find out that SL and HC are the same person and this is when shit really hits the fan because the thing is - the staff generally knew that XL and his partner could be quite *ahem* adventurous and coupled with XL’s inherent clumsiness they had gotten used to seeing random marks and bruises on their boss that they probably shouldn’t be witness too, but whom he always insists are ‘nothing’. But when they learn that his partner is a potentially super violent MMA fighter his staff get awfully protective and worried because... could their boss be in an abusive relationship that they aren’t aware of???? This opinion is not helped by the fact that when they try to discretely ask FX and MQ about HC they ofc give some pretty bad impressions (because both of them can’t stand HC--but the feelings are pretty mutual).
So of course, they must staff an intervention! And a perfect opportunity comes up--as part of some charity event their company is partnering with the local MMA organization to hold a friendly exhibition charity match and surprise-surprise, they’re bringing in their big gun, HC and he’s apparently going to fight some old veteran whose fighter name is “His Royal Highness”. (google reveals a fighter who constantly wore a mask to hide his identity). This is their chance to meet the bosses partner and maybe subtle-y threaten him enough to let him know that their boss is cared for and they will protect him at all costs if necessary.
(side note: Feng Xin and Mu Qing don’t bother to correct anyone because a) they generally stay out of gossip surrounding XL because b) they respect Xie Lian’s privacy c) they hate talking about HC in any capacity and d) they have an on-going bet to see when ppl will learn their ‘adorable clumsy boss’ could theoretically take out an entire swat team without batting an eyelash if he really wanted to--he was nearly recruited to be a special ops agent, but anyway)
So. The day of the charity match arrives and XL is... nowhere to be found??? Perhaps he’s somewhere else, VIP seating with the CEO (Jun Wu) or something since HC is his partner after all. Anyway, they watch the fight and it’s... Wow. But also a bit different? HC doesn’t seem as wild or brutal as he seems from online videos, although there is still this energy that everyone can feel in the fight that they can’t really place. But wow is it a fight and in the end HC surprisingly loses????
Ref blows the whistle and the staff all clamber down hoping to get in a word with HC when they all stop short because “His Royal Highness” suddenly rips his mask off and flies into HC’s arm and... and is that THEIR BOSS???
Minds are blown. Jaws are dropped. The two of them are practically three seconds away from full-on making out on the cage floor before FX/MQ yell at them to “stop being fucking gross, you’re in public damn it” and then XL snaps out of it and remembers, oh right, his entire staff team from work is here and they all just scream at him and he’s just like ???? because... well...
He hadn’t been trying to keep this a secret at all?
But now that the cat is out of the bag he is super happy to introduce HC to everyone, and then hopefully drag his partner off to the nearest secluded space because half the reason XL retired was a) he was done uni and was offered a nice position by Jun Wu (CEO of HO Ltd) - who was also an ex-fighter and trained under the same master as XL so they know each other pretty well - so he had less time and b) he felt he had found his match with HC and so the thrill of fighting others wasn’t as big anymore and c) ...after getting together cage matches were just another form of foreplay and it made things rather... ah... difficult to say the least. So XL bowed out without any issue. HC stayed in the profession because he knows XL likes watching him fight :)
Also just because XL doesn’t compete anymore doesn’t mean they don’t still spar on the regular in private. There is just something about the atmosphere of competitive cage matches that just got their blood flowing more than just sparring on the side for fun (although that would often lead to sex afterwards too, but at least in that case there wasn’t an audience).
So. There you have it.

hello everybody! i present to you, barbie, @sgnshin‘s little sister, and overall sweetheart/spoiled little princess. im still working on her plots in general but her profile is up here and thank you for all the welcome messages bc im getting to those right now!!!! please like this post if you’d like to plot and i’ll pop into your ims! just a bit of tl;dr under the cut about barbie
shin’s little sister but they’re not close so you probably know more about him than her
grew up being doted on a lot by her family so she’s never had a lot of people say no to her (except shin, thanks a lot bro)
even in school she was super well-liked so she’s never had super bad ppl experiences
personality wise for a spoiled kid she’s super friendly and sweet
just a little bit unknowingly self-centered so sometimes she says the darndest things
nobody really forced her to do it but she’s overachiever-ish
likes to do well in school/grades and participate in lots of extracurriculars
currently in 5 clubs/sports: glee, guitar, drama, cheerleading and gymnastics
she’s really flexible (as in her body, personality wise she’s kind of picky)
she’s here to have a fun college experience/life while also trying to lasso her brother home and she’s super gullible/naive (not stupid, but.... if it sounds logical she’ll fall for it) so it’d be fun to get her into some shenanigans
some vague-ish plot ideas:
upperclassmen who think she’s absolutely adorable and take her under their wing
fellow freshmen who think she’s an idiot bc she’s naive and also want to protect her
people who find her incredibly annoying bc she’s so simple sometimes
people to corrupt her/get her into troublesome stuff
some romantic plots, maybe flings or something serious
childhood friends? anybody else who was also flung around across the globe thanks to parents?
multilingual bros who can also sympathise with thinking in about 3 different languages every sentence
i am still in the process of thinking up more/specifics but these are just some ideas in the mean time and if nothing fits we can still brainstorm!

𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 !
oh boi, where do i even start.. okokokok, guys, i’ve only had this blog for a month or so but WOWIE the people in the naruto fandom are fucking BREATHTAKING and MINDBLOWING and KIND and SMASH EVERY POSSIBLE POSITIVE ADJECTIVES HERE TBH bc i sincerely cannot put how AMAZING you all are into words without feeling it is not enough and i’m a damn emotional mess today. i’m not really reaching a milestone or anything like that, i’m doing this because i’m so overwhelmed with my love and my appreciation for you guys and i just want to get it off my chest !! first of all, i want to thank everyone for putting up with my shit ( and sakura’s stupid shenanigans ) which is really INCREDIBLE lmao, and again, i cannot tell you guys HOW MUCH I ADORE THE FUCK OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF U and i’m ugly sobbing in the corner. you guys have been awfully kind and friendly to me that i honestly think i don’t deserve it ??? like the fuck why are these people so nice and lovely and wonderful and welcoming of me, and i haven’t even mentioned their SUPERB WRITING SKILL yet. reading the writings or the crack shenanigans on my dash never fails to amaze me and make me smile and you all cure my depression just by being around !! i love you all from the bottom of my heart and if anybody does anything to you guys i would kill them and then myself !! second of all, the list below here is the ppl who literally steal my kokoro away ( don’t give it back, kEEP IT ) and leave me a dying gross mush full of nothing but PURE AFFECTION.
@shrineduty / @rosesplash / @lonefate / @your shit ton of blogs: this here, people, i present to you NANA. nana is my best pal, like the best of best of best of best, she is someone who understands me so well, so CHARMING, so IDK I DON’T HAVE ANY WORDS LEFT but she is just simply so MARVELOUS just by being there doing random shit that i can cry you a river talking about her. we have known each other for only a year or so ?? it already feels like ages and man.. you are the best thing in my life.
@yamixuzu / @yxndaiime: my god i love this person. i love their writing, i love their portrayal of yami naruto, i love talking with them, i love plotting with them and i love their EVERYTHING !! if i were to be completely honest, how can i not ?? this person is literally the embodiment of the word FANTASTIC. they put so many effort and emotion into their writing and it makes me tear up every time, their portrayal of yami naruto likewise is always TOP-NOTCH and.. and MAN I LOVE YOU. and the mun ? what a fucking blessed individual, a gift to humanity. seriously, if you haven’t already, follow them. it will be worth it i swear.
@paintedbeasts: one of the few people that decided to open up to me and interacted with my done-with-everything sakura when i first joined the naruto fandom. tbh i would be lying if i said the naruto fandom didn’t scare the heck out of me at first because all of you looking dead serious blogs and i’m just a dumb potato, but this beautiful person here, she boosts my confidence with my portrayal of sakura, she guides me into the naruto fandom like a big sister tbh, she introduces me to other people and helps me feel like o shit i’m really a naruto blog. she doesn’t do much formatting with her writings, they are actually very simple but at the same time, very her. it’s what makes her portrayal so lovely and smooth ! does that make sense ? i love her and you all should too.
@oflightningandfire / @stonefvced: meek !! man, this dude is awesome. like that word doesn’t even do him justice tbh. he is also one of the first few people that gradually helps me become more familiar with the naruto fandom, he helps me to flesh out more of my portrayal of sakura and for that, i’m forever grateful of him. aside from that, listen, his sasuke and tobirama are just freaking AWESOME. like, the most awesome of awesome. how many times have i used that word today ? sakura is here and all heart eyes motherfucker.
people i really want to interact / get to know more and you know, we really should.
@shieldedsand: u and ur dumb sand. ily.
@koikais / @teitais: u two are here because of the soap shitposting sghjGF. make my day.
@bitiing: i want to write with you sooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but my brain is just dumb and i’m generally lazy... ugly sobbing.
@explosionrelease: ART WILL NEVER DIE. ily.
@sunflowermade / @sunshincmade / @kageborne: HIMAWARI IS SO CUTE ??? AND SO IS BORUTO. sorry naruto, aunt sakura loves them so much and would kidnap them if she could..... don’t do it sakura.

Hi. It's not necessarily question but advice or positivity re welcome. I'm ace but I met this incredible guy. He's kind pretty and so open minded I rarely bond like this with ppl. I know he likes me but if I let him know he will want to have sex as expected. It makes me sad because I keep him in distance because of that. I don't want to be intimate but also I want to be in a romantic relationship with him and not loose him. I know if I tell him im not interested he might move on and it kills me
Since you guys seem to be on friendly terms right now, maybe you can come out to him as ace, so that he knows. If you come out when you two are still friends you should at the very least be able to keep the friendship. You could even ask him how he’d feel about a sexless relationship? He may surprise you and be ok with it!
