How would the yokai harem react to you talking about a manipulative ex? content: gender neutral reader x various demons
Murasaki will silently listen to your rant with the same flat expression he always wears. Or was that a grimace you just spotted? Upon further inspection, he does seem more annoyed than usual. “At least you had the brain to walk away, I suppose,” he says with a huff. It doesn’t surprise him much, in all honesty; humans aren’t exactly known for their awareness, and you’re a particularly naïve one. He places a hand on your head and gives you a swift ruffle. Christ, you’re hopeless. Thankfully you won’t have to deal with that anymore, not under his watch. Had this happened in his presence, the offender would’ve been sliced in half.
Kiritsubo is very vocal throughout your retelling. They did what?! He’s so upset on your behalf, cheeks flushed and puffed up with indignance. After clarifying some details to him, you discover that the yokai is rather...oblivious himself. Good Lord, he would’ve fallen for it even harder. He pats his sword and declares he won’t ever allow it to happen again. You can’t help but chuckle at his confidence. Indeed, you might have to help him a little in recognizing the danger. You appreciate his good intentions, nonetheless.
Suma approaches your story with a very positive outlook, which is very much like him. With a laugh, he pats your back and praises you. “It’s a hard lesson, but a lesson still. Humans and demons are difficult creatures, eh? You can’t always read them, nor can you tell their intentions. To be aware of this and continue living with an open heart means you’re brave, not gullible.” That’s just the way things are. We get hurt and we learn from it. He’s proud of you for being here despite everything. “That’s not to say you have to deal with it alone,” he adds with a cheeky smile. “Let me know about it next time it happens, alright?”
Yuugiri is very unbothered, nodding along with a smile. Oh, you recognize that grin. A cold shiver runs down your spine as you realize your mistake. The serpent yokai is exceptionally vengeful, especially when it comes to you. Your ex-partner has now become a target for unknown terrors. Somewhere, sometime in the future, they will suffer. Yuugiri will make sure of it. No one messes with his precious little human and comes out unscathed. Oh, to think they took advantage of your innocence! Of course you’re easily manipulated, but it’s a gift that must be appreciated, not abused. He should be the only one with the privilege of...influencing you every now and then.
Sakaki scribbles in his sketchbook while listening to your rant. Truth be told, you’re not expecting much from him. He’ll probably tell you that it is indeed in the nature of most humans to be this devious, and misery is inescapable. Suffering is but an eternal part of life, from which only Death can free us. Gosh, you’ve been hanging out way too much with this gloom-ridden artist. You finally glance over his shoulder and notice the intricate pentagram. “It’s a curse,” he says with a flat smile. “I just need to find the guy, and then...heh. It’s not the poetic kind of agony, that’s for sure.” You’re his only source of happiness and hope, after all. There’s no way in Hell he’d ever allow anyone to interfere with it.
Sekiya is very similar to Kiritsubo in his reaction. His face begins to twist through a range of emotions. You know him so well, at this point, that you can already guess the stages of grief crossing his mind: he’d never treat you that way, and if someone else was to dare, he’d...he’d deal with them, right? Could a weakling like him even manage? Come, now, he’s still a yokai several ranks above the regular demons. Can he prove it to you, however? You stop his thoughts before they go any further, taking his hand in yours. “You’ll take care of me, right,” you ask. His eyes widen and his chest involuntarily swells up with pride. “Of course,” he barks loudly. Oh, to think you’d put your faith in him like that! He’s drunk with delight.

what girls would be nicest to a reader who cums too fast or too easily,,?
a little self conscious...
Nicest? Probably Himeko, Natasha, Yukong, Bronya, Seele, Robin, Firefly, March, Ruan Mei, Topaz, Asta, Aglaea, Castorice, Lingsha and Pearl. They all seem like women who would understand your extreme sensitivity and react positively to it because you’re too cute. They even praise you because cumming so fast means you did a good job of not holding back for them, meaning you trust them fully to bring you to the height of pleasure. “Did you really feel that good?” They coo, rubbing your head when you calm down from the aftershocks of your orgasm. You’re so dizzy and trembling as they wipe up the remnants of your cum, licking it off their fingers and looking quite satisfied with the taste. “I’m glad to know you trust me enough to go whenever you want. Good girl, let’s have you come again…”
The other women are more teasing about it. They find your quick orgasms absolutely divine, but unlike the women listed above, they like to tease you about how they got you to come so quickly. “Heh, I guess my finger skills are just that good, huh babe?” I can totally imagine Stelle or Feixiao looking so smug when they see the mess on your thighs. It hasn’t even bit five minutes and they’re plunging their fingers back to make you come again. “Let’s do another one! One is not enough, I need to make you come at least four more times!”
P.S: The brightest side to coming so quickly is the fact that your HSR girlfriend(s) can drag you with them for quickies almost anytime they want!

|| When You Reject Their Confession. || Blue Lock Reactions ||
Tumblr media
i really do like my angst so might as well im super open if anyone has any suggestions on what you wanna see them react to next also really sorry about chigiri's part im not 100 percent happy with how i wrote it
cw: angst. heartbreak. resentment/hate. self deprecation in nagi's part. overall sad vibes.
Isagi Yoichi. Bachira Meguru. Chigiri Hyoma. Nagi Seishiro. Itoshi Rin. Itoshi Sae.
Tumblr media
"I'm sorry but I can't return your feelings."
❥ Isagi could feel his heart shattering on the spot. Feeling as if something is pulling him down underwater. His chest feels tight, it feels hard to breathe. You probably saw how his face fell at your words. How embarrassing. Isagi does his best to rise to the surface as he pushes this undeniable pain aside to reassure you. Even when you dealt a heavy blow to him, seeing you look so guilty and worried for him still brings him pain too.
Very fiber of his being is resisting his command to smile. To put on a reassuring smile that could wipe off that sad look off your face. Oh, what you said earlier? It's fine, don't worry about it. It can't be helped if you don't return his feelings. It doesn't bother him! It does. He wants nothing more to sink into the depths again but for now he has to bring back your smile.
"I-It's okay, I'm fine! I'm fine..."
❥ Bachira's immediate reaction is to burst into laughter. Good one, you got him good! He tells you as he calms down from his fit of laughter. Only when you don't laugh along does the truth slowly settle within him. He feels his stomach drop. Oh, you meant it.
Bachira feels as if a tidal wave had swallowed him whole, he sees your mouth moving but he can't hear the words you're saying. Everything just feels so numb. He puts on a smile, brushing off your apologies - telling you that it's alright. Even when you turn around and leave he finds himself rooted to the spot. His hand that was previously waving you goodbye suspended in the air. Only when he's sure you're no longer within earshot do the tears start to flow.
"I guess we're better off alone, huh?"
❥ Chigiri is quick to put on a small smile. He can sense that you feel incredibly guilty for rejecting him. You should, you should feel guilty a voice in his mind nags him. The red head does his best to push those thoughts away. He feels the urge to twirl a stand of his hair, a nervous habit of his but he resists. He doesn't want to show any kind of weakness in front of you.
He teases you that you'd get wrinkles with how hard you're frowning. That is what he tells himself to keep himself from frowning too. Chigiri does his best to act like his usual self. Biting his tongue back from the sarcasm that threatens to leave his lips. Bitter. It all just tastes so bitter. He'll put up with it just until you leave.
"Smile, that look on your face doesn't suit you."
❥ Nagi just stands still for a moment staring at you blankly. He just remains silent to he point it's making you nervous until you see him nodding slowly. As if he's just now comprehending your words. Nagi doesn't say much afterwards, only replying with a few words as he normally does. It's as if the earlier situation didn't happen at all.
Everything just feels numb, there's a ringing in his ear but he chooses to ignore it. He casually waves goodbye and only when you're out of sight does his arm lifelessly drop. Of course, you'd reject him. He's nothing more than lazy scum who barely manages to take care of himself. You probably see him as nothing more than a nuisance. It's nothing new. He should be used to it by now. Nagi finds himself letting out a sigh.
"What a hassle."
❥ Rin looks unbothered by your words. However, if you look closer you would have noticed the twitch of his eye. His lips curling into a deeper frown. His hands itching to be clenched into fists but he holds himself back. Rin could burn a hole through you with how hard he's staring at you. He doesn't say anything else, wanting you to hurry up and disappear from his sight.
Only when he knows you're gone, does he run a hand through his hair in exasperation. Wanting nothing more right now than to kick a soccer ball far far away. Hoping that these awful feelings would disappear along with it. It was stupid idea to begin with. One that reminds him of the naivety of his past self he never wants to be again. Dammit. Curse you, for making him feel this way.
It's all your fault.
"Damn this...!"
❥ Sae doesn't even bat an eyelash. A blank expression on his face even when you apologize to him. He retains the picture of calm and collected as if you've just told him that the weather today is nice. Sae doesn't say anything, only responding with a single "okay". Following it up by announcing that he's leaving. He's done what he's come here to do - there's no reason to stay any longer than necessary.
With each step he takes walking away from you, he feels his heart getting heavier and heavier. He looks unbothered but in his mind, all that he could think about are your words - repeating over and over again. Briefly wondering if the outcome could have been different, if he had done something else. He's quick to dismiss the thought. It's weak and unpleasant. Sae doesn't want to admit that it bothers him way more than it should.
"What a waste of time."

Hey!! I love your writing and I appreciate how you make the characters as canon as possible!
Can I request the gang + Trish reacting to reader suddenly hugging them tightly >_< .
(Platonically though!!)
This request is from February, I’m sorry!!! 😅 I hope you enjoy this nonetheless!
Tumblr media
Bucci gang + trish react to reader suddenly hugging them
Bruno Bucciarati
You catch him mid-strategy, arms crossed as he discusses plans in that calm, focused tone of his. You suddenly wrap your arms around him in a firm, unexpected hug. He freezes — surprised more by the timing than the gesture itself.
After a moment, his body relaxes, and he gently pats your back.
“…You scared me for a second,” he says with a soft chuckle, voice low and comforting. “But… thank you. I needed that more than I realized.”
He doesn’t hug back tightly, but he doesn’t pull away either. He understands, even without a word.
Leone Abbacchio
He’s sitting off to the side, arms draped across his knees, scowling into the distance as usual. You approach quietly and hug him without warning.
His entire body tenses like you just threw cold water on him. “What the hell are you—” he starts, twisting slightly in irritation.
But then you don’t let go. You just stay there, holding him like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
He exhales — long and slow.
“…Tch. Don’t get used to this,” he mutters, eyes flicking away. But he doesn’t move. Maybe, just maybe, there’s the faintest shift in how he leans into it.
Guido Mista
He’s joking around, probably teasing Narancia or balancing a bullet on his finger when you suddenly squeeze him tight.
“Oh?! Hey hey hey!” He grins, startled but amused. “What’s all this about?”
His first instinct is to laugh it off, but then he hears how deep you sigh against his shoulder.
“Oh,” he says again, softer this time.
He hugs you back with one arm, a bit lopsided but firm, patting your back in a rhythm that’s almost musical.
“You’re lucky I’m irresistible,” he jokes, but his voice is warm. “Anytime, capisce?”
Giorno Giovanna
He’s organizing something — his mind always working. You step in and hug him tight, and he stiffens like you short-circuited his brain.
His arms hover awkwardly for a second, unsure of what to do. “Ah… are you alright?”
But as he feels the sincerity of your grip, he gently wraps his arms around you in return, polite but heartfelt.
“I may not always say it,” he murmurs, “but I’m glad you feel safe enough to do this.”
He doesn’t let go until you do.
Narancia Ghirga
He yelps. Like, full-on jumps a little. “Wha—?! Whoa, hey!!”
But once he realizes it’s you and it’s just a hug, he breaks into a huge grin. “Sheesh, you scared me! Thought it was an enemy Stand or somethin!”
Still, he beams and immediately returns the hug, arms wrapped tight and fast. He holds on like he’s afraid you’ll vanish.
“You’re so weird sometimes, y’know that?” he says, but he’s laughing. “But I like it. Do it again sometime.”
Pannacotta Fugo
You catch him reading or lost in thought — which is dangerous, because sudden contact triggers that split-second panic reflex.
He jumps, pushing back instinctively. “What are you doing?!”
But once he sees it’s you, and that you’re just hugging him — no threat, no reason — the anger that flickered across his face softens.
“…Sorry,” he mumbles, shoulders dropping. “You just caught me off guard.”
He hesitates, then lightly places a hand on your back. “Thanks. I… appreciate it.” His voice is quiet. Earnest.
Trish Una
She’s brushing her hair or adjusting her outfit, probably mid-eye roll at something Mista said, when you suddenly hug her from behind.
“Huh—?!” She jolts, startled, turning slightly to see your face. “Are you okay? What’s gotten into you?”
But even as she says it, she doesn’t pull away. Her arms don’t move at first, unsure.
Then slowly — very slowly — she rests a hand on your arm and lets out a breath.
“…You’re lucky I like you,” she says with mock annoyance. “But… I guess I don’t mind.”

Hi Rhi,
Thank you for posting Divine Rights!!!
So delicious and so satisfying to know I guessed Oikawa right from the first snippet you shared.
I still have the All In brainworms and wanted to ask a question:
How do you think the alphas would feel if the reader accidentally bit them back?
I was wondering how they would react if the reader inadvertently bit them during sex to not shout or did something else as emotionally vulnerable, like using their first name.
I hope you’re doing well and I’m so excited to reread your latest fic.
-🐡
nonnie i am going to politely request that you get the fuck out of my head.
do you know how many times i went to make a post about this? i literally have a draft saved that goes 'nobody asked but it's important to me y'all know tendou needs the reader to bite him more than he needs his next breath' like–
as far as the actual bond goes, it has no effect. betas can't initiate a bond. that does not mean tendou is not actively trying to get the reader to bite him back, especially in bed. instant knot. he'll fucking moan if she does it. it's a point of pride for him.
for semi, he's not actively trying to goad her into it like tendou but he's certainly not averse to it either. little beta wants to show her teeth?? well it's tit for tat. shame he bites harder.
ushijima's more... amused is probably the wrong word. endeared, maybe. he likes to think it's a compulsion of sorts – consciously or not her base urge is to claim them back.
poor reader on the other hand is mortified and disgusted with herself, not helped by the fact she can feel how smug they are about it through the bond.

So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me.
Glare intensifying. “Okay, so what did you hire yourself to do?” That was an interesting way to put it. I kind of liked it. And it felt so weird to be talking to a human like this, a human who knew what I was. I didn’t have to force myself to stare at Pin-Lee’s face, worry that my expressions were normal. Abene had known I was a SecUnit, but she hadn’t known I was me.
Farai said, “Thiago, no. She asks for space, you need to give that to her.” She smiled at me politely. I never know how to react to that. She leaned in to Mensah to kiss her, and said, “We’ll see you at the house.”
Indah was looking at me again. I hadn’t said anything because what was I supposed to say at this point? Oh, I guess I could have said “hello.” Well, it was too late now.
We didn’t have time for me to show it 35,000 hours of media and I didn’t have access to my longterm storage anyway. And that had worked on me, but I knew I was weird even for a SecUnit.
According to the report 2.0 had downloaded to me, 3 had actually seemed to like the other two SecUnits on the explorer, as if they had been friends, at least to the extent that they had been allowed to communicate with each other. I’d never thought that was possible. Maybe I’d always been a weird SecUnit; maybe 3 would have better luck communicating with other SecUnits.
a collection of moments :3
my favorite thing about this string of moments is that then in "home" we get mensah's pov, and she's lying to her friends and constantly thinking "secunit can see right fucking through me" (and it can-- it reads her so well lol)
She didn’t want a corporation’s excuse for a trauma support specialist poking around in her emotions. She almost adds, I didn’t need it, which would be a dead giveaway. And then it occurs to her, a giveaway of what? What is she worried about giving away, here among these people she trusts with her life. SecUnit is looking at the far corner, as it usually does. But they installed cameras for it in these rooms so it probably is watching her expression. It says, “Why not? Is it free here?”
That was taking the conversation to a place Ayda didn’t want to go. “I might have time later,” she tells them easily, and pours herself another cup of tea. When she glances up, SecUnit is actually looking directly at her. Their gazes lock for what seems a long moment but knowing SecUnit, is probably only a second at most. As its gaze shifts back to the corner, Ayda feels her cheeks flush, as if she’s been caught in a lie. Well, it was a lie.
She thinks she’s deflected it, but then it comes right back around to its target. “Maybe you should go to the Station Medical like Dr. Bharadwaj.” I can’t, I’d have to tell them what was wrong, is her first thought. And yes, she’s aware that’s the problem. She can’t bring herself to lie, so she only says, “I’ll try.” There’s a quiet, skeptical snort above her head, and she knows SecUnit isn’t fooled.
and her perception of it interpersonally is quite different from its own:
The killing machine in question has just sent her yet another message packet. They’re piling up in her feed and if she would stop encouraging SecUnit by opening them, it would probably stop. They’re all formal requisition forms for Preservation Station Security, requests for increasingly improbable armaments. She responds to the latest with I don’t even know what that is. It’s a good thing she understands SecUnit’s sense of humor.
Still not meeting anyone’s gaze, SecUnit’s expression flashes through a brief, eloquent ironic twist. Ayda hides a smile. Of course you have to pay for it.
“Station Security is forty-seven seconds out.” SecUnit’s voice is even and conversational. And confident. This is a confrontation it knows how to handle. It’s slipped in front of her, reassuring lean bulk between her and the intruder. 
just one of many reasons that "home" is my favorite short story in the murderbot diaries canon ^^
plus we see many indications of murderbot's rapport with mensah in the books, even early in all systems red. from its pov, despite murderbot being awkward with humans, it connects easily with mensah:
I panic all the time, you just can’t see it, I told her. I added the text signifier for “joke.” She didn’t answer, but she looked down, smiling to herself.
mensah also makes effort to understand and accommodate murderbot early on in asr, which is not framed as a big deal or a burden for her:
“Maybe, under normal circumstances.” She was looking a little off to one side, not trying to make eye contact, which I appreciated.
and of course, she's also the first human to tell murderbot she thinks of it as a person— and in a way that it's able to hear/accept, which seems very meaningful for it
“But this situation is different. It would be better if they could think of you as a person who is trying to help. Because that’s how I think of you.” My insides melted. That’s the only way I could describe it. After a minute, when I had my expression under control, I cleared the face plate and had it and the helmet fold back into my armor.
i think this is part of why she's its favorite human. yes, murderbot is weird and awkward, but mensah vibes with it regardless and makes effort to understand and respect it in all their early interactions. that feels special for it. from "home," we know that feeling is reciprocal. i think it goes a bit further, because there we also learn mensah has similar issues with emotional vulnerability and self esteem in the wake of her trauma, which adds another layer of uniqueness to the dynamic. mensah doesn't see murderbot as inept or lacking, and murderbot likewise has a high opinion of mensah despite her negative self-perception.
i always love when a character who sees themselves as a freak has a person (or more) who understands, respects, and connects with them so thoroughly. this feels extra meaningful for a character like murderbot who sees itself as incapable of things like friendship and being understood due to social conditioning and trauma. that's part of why its friendships and comfort level with the preservation humans are so nice to see. likewise, it's no wonder they're so important to it.
imo, the murderbot diaries series has an interpersonally hopeful quality to it, since murderbot has this type of connection with a variety of characters in different permutations throughout the story. it has optimistic messaging that even if you're a social outsider, there will be well-intentioned people hoping to understand and connect with you no matter where you go.
i think there's a lot more to be said about this topic with respect to murderbot's trust issues, its perception of its personhood, and its history of being forced to enact violence, but.. i've said enough for now ^^'

woah this is super interesting. I love the story and the take and it's actually really beautiful.
Honestly, the hard part for me here is that I have grown up surrounded by a lot of people shoveled into a certain career path, perhaps a little bit more by force, and so my instinct is to say he should discover something else because I have seen far too many poor souls grow wary and disillusioned by the career pipeline they stuck themselves into years ago (parents, uncles, older cousins/siblings, and friends).
And the thing is, in all appearances, those people act like they truly love it. They make the jokes and accept the stereotypes and wear the merch and blab about it and have all the true appearances of really loving what they do, for years, only to buckle under the weight of it and admit it's not what they wanted to do about three jobs down the line.
I think that both things can be true-- that the best discoveries come from taking the bad and turning it into something positive (like finding a true passion out of something you may have started doing out of necessesity), but also, the belief that people change. A lot. I know I do, and I did.
And to me, Will Solace falls into that category of people I know in real life who got pushed into a specific role far too quickly. And while some of them continued to thrive in that role, the VAST majority did not. A lot of them have told me that they had to pull away from adulthood and actually rediscover what they liked, what they enjoyed, what their hobbies were in a world apart from the responsibility or pathway that they were given. Those who were able to do so changed their careers completely, and those who weren't remained the kind of people who feel like they have nothing to look forward to besides retirement.
I think the version of Will that the canon gives us lacks the sufficient backstory for me to guess whether Will would stay in medicine or not. If we knew in more detail how the battle of manhattan was, exactly what happened, exactly how much help he had in the infirmary, and exactly how he learned about his healing powers, I would better be able to guess whether his attachment to his healing abilities is healthy enough to last (with some modification) or rather a weight that is holding him down. It could honestly be either way, really.
It's a bit of a Bell Jar moment, methinks. With the figs? In the tree? I think about that metaphor a whole lot, and how most of us only really have one life to choose where we go. I, myself, have followed a very similar path to Jackie so far, and I actually am very content! But I know so many people who aren't.
I think that's really interesting-- how we can all be shoved into similar circumstances and react similarly to them, for years, only to diverge in our paths way later on. But we, as humans, are left to wonder if the path we chose was the right one, and then learn to make peace with what we have.
The nice thing about Will, though, is that he can exist in a million universes at once and make a slightly different choice in all of them. That's fantastic, actually!
And one of the things I wonder is how normalized it actually is for demigods to go to college at all. I feel like the idea of Will becoming a doctor was initially floated as a joke, like, an offhand "Doctor Solace" comment because he was such a good healer. Maybe it was even Lee who said it once, ruffling his hair, after he did well the first few times. When did it go from that to an actual expectation? Could people really expect Will to become a doctor when demigods could scarcely be expected to live past sixteen?
I feel like it probably intensified at some point after the Battle of Manhattan, when Will began to spend much, much more time in the infirmary (avoidance, coping mechanism) and his siblings and his friends started to say that he should totally become a real doctor. And Will just went along with it. And this is where that path breaks: does he continue to harbor some resentment for the role he was thrust into? Does the resentment fade with time or grow as more people believe it? Or, perhaps more interestingly, does he feel not resentment but fear? Fear that he would be letting everyone down by not becoming a doctor?
I think one could realistically go either way on this take, and that's really cool to me. So I think we should all agree to just do the one we like better :) (and i suppose this applies to all headcanons lol)
sorry for the rant <3
okay i’ve seen the take around and i have to add. it’s killing me.
i do not agree that will would avoid the medical arts when he gets older.
i see the argument about trauma and growing from it. and, like, yeah. he had so much on his shoulders from so ridiculously young, it had to be rough.
but it’s also like.
what he’s good at.
let me tell you a story. there was a girl. when she was a year and a half old her first sister was born. and her mother’s family warned her to keep her away from her sister: she had been an only child for her entire life up to this point, she would be jealous of the baby. she might even try to hurt her.
but the mother shook her head and reclined on her hospital bed with her new baby in her arms. and she called her daughter softly up and showed her how to sit, how to fold her hands. she placed her newborn into her daughters arms and her daughter, he toddler, stayed there for hours. for hours, mesmerized by her baby sister, holding her carefully.
that daughter doesn’t remember, obviously. but her mother tells her this story often, smiling. the daughter had hands to hold from infancy.
the daughter gets another sister when she is three. and another when she is eight, and a brother when she is ten. she has been surrounded by babies her whole life, while her parents work. she learned to change diapers before she could divide, learned how to cook before she learned to play properly with friends. she has known domesticity every day of her life.
and she excels at it.
she chafes, a little. of course she does. when she takes her baby brother to the park people confuse her for his mother — she is ten years old. she is used to walking with a child on her hip. her name was her brother’s third ever word, and sometimes — often times — her siblings seek her out instead of her parents. she is made to do thrice the chores her siblings must because she is more organized, because she is more capable. she is meant to take them safely to places — no one takes her safely to places.
but she glows when her siblings need her. at family reunions, she volunteers to mind the babies, nervous about conversation with adults. she is the only one patient enough to tutor her siblings when they’re struggling and frustrated and pride blooms in her chest. when she cleans, her anxious mind quiets.
she grows up to be an elementary school teacher, after a couple years of discovering.
do you see the projection connection i am trying to make here. it is hard to be trained your whole life for something — there is part of you, always, that will resent it, that will wonder.
but it is another thing when the training is so easy because you are so good at it already. when doing what you have been trained to do makes you calm after a long day, when the tedious tasks that others spurn brings a smile to your face. yes, i’m sure healing carries a lot of pain for will. yes, i’m sure he’s frustrated. yes, i’m sure he takes some time to experiment.
but he is good at healing. and he likes to be needed, to be the rock upon which others need: if he is the rock it means he is strong, he is steady. when he doubts himself he can remember those he has helped and it is impossible to write off his own importance. he has healer’s hands, builder’s hands, carer’s hands — to be anything else would be a struggle, first, but it would not bring the same relief. the same steadiness in knowing that he is capable and righteously proud.
i don’t know. this isn’t a real essay and i don’t have a real conclusion. i just cannot find it in myself to imagine a future where my path is dark and overgrown with foreign weeds, rather than peppered with the flowers i grew up tending. i doubt will can either.

Something really great about the persona 2 cast is that they all individually fucking SUCK to talk to casually. Every single one of them. They are all infuriating. We have:
Tatsuya, who will stare at you blankly if you try to initiate conversation (IS) and will dip without saying a word afterward (EP)
Batsuya, who will scoff and brush you off/otherwise act dismissive
Eikichi, who might honestly be the best to talk to in the IS crew and that is not saying much, who WILL talk extremely loudly over you (probably not on purpose?) and will not be paying particularly close attention to the conversation beyond whatever he wants to say (gets points for talking about his gf. gets points taken away for constantly talking about his gf)
Lisa, who will automatically assume bad faith and will be rude to you the entire conversation unless you manage to defuse her temper (good luck)
Jun, who is uncommunicative at BEST and requires an encyclopedic knowledge of flowers, metaphor and body language just to get a HINT on what he’s thinking, and who will be extremely polite but completely unhelpful. If you tried asking him what he wants for dinner I guarantee it will be the longest 30 minutes of your life as he goes “oh I have no opinion :) whatever you want. :))” EXCEPT HE DOES HAVE OPINIONS. He has SO MANY OPINIONS. He is Expecting you to be able to pick up on his “obvious” clues. He will be passive aggressive if you don’t. (Jun babygirl you suck so bad I love u)
Maya, who is a delight but will very quickly become grating if you try to talk to her about anything serious as she hits you with the white suburban mom's "how to live a happy, healthy life" lifecoach slogans. You can’t even mention, like, stepping in a puddle or something without her hitting you with the positivity beam.
Yukino is great actually. 10/10. She’s fabulous we love her. Incredible conversationalist, chill and fun and easy to get along with. But she’s from Persona One, she doesn’t Count.
Ulala, who WILL bring up her relationship problems in every conversation within 10 minutes at least once. Any longer and she will start talking about Maya.
Do I even need to explain Baofu. Have you seen him.
And finally, Katsuya, who is a cop and a kiss ass and Very Obvious about these things. Also he can't talk to women. He can barely talk to men. Help Him.
And yet they all work wonderfully as a group. They are so annoying I love them
#long post#Nanjo and Elly don't count btw#hi I fucking adore them#I missed them <3 Suou Brothers crawling back into my brain#Persona 3-5 have a very charming casts that are easy to like immediately. Persona 1 & 2 are filled with the most annoying bitches alive#exaggeration obviously. not by that much tho#persona 2s cast in particular is very charming. when they're TOGETHER. Individually? Wellllll...#hmm something about p2s cast in particular feels less. gimmicky? I guess? than the newer persona games#which isn't to say that those casts are worse or that the p2 cast ISN'T gimmicky because they are#but idk. you kind of always know how Ryuji or Ken or Yukiko will react to a situation. but the p2 cast may surprise you#again: doesn't make any of the later casts bad! I absolutely adore them. That you can predict them is evidence of strong character writing!#The p2 cast just feels a little more fleshed out is all. probably because the lack of social links means they're able to progress#throughout the story and change without worrying about conflicting with a link yanno?#I love social links though I think they're a great edition!#They need their kinks ironed out a bit but Yosuke has already proved that they are absolutely capable of working hand in hand with the#development of characters in the story as well#and theyre still fun even when they don't impact the story. I like getting to know side#characters too! (Naoki and Ei and Ai and Daisuke and Kou and the old lady and Akinari and-)#tag ramble#persona 2#tatsuya suou#eikichi mishina#lisa silverman#jun kurosu#maya amano#yukino mayuzumi#ulala serizawa#baofu#katsuya suou#Also um. hi. Its been a while lol

Hot take, maybe? I think someone's reaction to the existence of Kingdom Hearts can be a good litmus test for whether or not they actually really believe that cringe culture is dead, imo.

#My art#SCII#Damned#DAX#ZEX#FRICK I forgot ZEX's bruises lol#I drew them in the sketch even! It's why his left eye is closed rather than his right fjdsaklfdfds#Well DAX will probably have that ankle brace on him still by the time ZEX's face and neck are all healed up anyway *handwaves handwaves*#Anyway lol#I've been wanting to try my hand at the ''heartbeat'' style for a while now! Pretty sure this is my first ever attempt! :0#I guess that one blushy react I made a couple years ago for VLH could count? But that was with vectors so#Was mostly curious as to how long it would take and how tedious it would be with my tablet#Using my crayon brush for the lineart and colours made it more fun :) Very unconcerned with how ''clean'' it would look by the end#Which I think is how this style is meant to be approached - if it was too smooth or too aligned then it wouldn't move!#I think I like it well enough :)#I had another one I was thinking about doing first - even sketched up a while ago now - but this image hit me most recently#New shiny - you know how it is :P#And they're so cute how can I resist <3#Max being shorter than Dexter is So good and then ZEX nad DAX are in there and it's just jdkslafd#Extremely yes very much so agree#They're cute! I love them!#Someday I'll get really good at DAX's parade rest pose because I keep attempting to draw it correctly and haven't yet#But I haven't given up!! I'll get it someday!!!#ZEX is effortlessly adorable so that's easy lol#Even if I didn't get the bruises his blush was still real fun to texture :)

One of my big compulsions is taking a fuck ton of screenshots Just In Case a piece of information is important in like 4 years and I can't remember it (sometimes the information is an instagram post that I might not remember later and of course needs to be recorded everywhere (I will Not be looking at that again)) so today is my transfer 16000 images off my phone admin day (woo)
Like yeah I never looked at any of them and they were completely irrelevant to my daily life, But what if I need them ✨️ later ✨️ (you'll see that the idea of Later is doing a lot of heavy lifting here) OR what if there's a vital piece of information in the mix somewhere that I'll lose forever if I delete them? So: onto the external hard drive they go
This is one of those cases where. Yeah. Ideally I wouldn't take 16000 screenshots in half a year. And YEAH ideally I'd just delete them and not transfer them somewhere else to never look at again. BUT at least I get a clean slate and I can maybe not mindlessly save everything for 2 seconds. It's like. Small wins? Progress. Yknow.
#rangnar rambles#i also use my tumblr drafts this way which is how i have probably 2000 drafts for this blog that are just? like me saving a post for 'later#and then theres too many in my drafts for me to even find *MY* drafts#i need to just hard reset the draft function bc its literally unusable for me#'matt this is all irrational and weird' by god. my irrational thoughts disorder makes me do weird shit? are you fr rn??? 😨😨#i get so stupidly in my own head and then i dont make progress towards Anything#even like a fun sideblog where i can actually yknow. post that 2k nightmare? i just cringe myself out like a dumbass 😔#i feel like ocd thoughts always sound lame out loud (and in my head to myself too)#like the Urgency doesnt come across#like in the moment i am Completely convinced that my national insurance number and bank deets are in there somewhere#and theres suddenly no way on earth i could ever find them again if i delete the picture. so to the hard drive they go#i Would go through that whole thing if i suddenly needed a screenshot from 2019 btw. like the crazy isnt theoretical#ive hallucinated gas leak smells before and woken up my flatmates bc i couldnt convince myself i was over reacting#its just cus the seasons have changed that everythings ramping up but omg its hard to do anything but spiral nowadays#thats a little dramatic but i am losing like. a quarter of the day to my ocd#its like. not great 😬#im not back to convincing myself i gave my dad cancer but i am not letting myself use half the kitchen again#but eh soo la voo we ball#HAH i checked my drafts after this and i was lowballing so hard#5.7k on this blog. 12k on my main 💀. its not funny but it kind of is#this is why youll never catch me running a queue#this is such a miserable post but i do feel the need to not let it sit in the drafts pile. to prove the point i guess 💀💀💀#'no one gives a shit this is your blog' 'oh my GOD WHAT IF PEOPLE GIVE A SHIT' <- omg shut upppp youre so embarassing 🙄#one more time for the gallery: i am like. aware that these feelings are irrational. like i am fine it just takes time for reality to kick in#ANYWAYS what was that who said that that was so weird im gonna go look at old romantic era paintings now#if tam is a screenshot fiend in the next fic u know what happened

I don't want to fall victim to any sort of superiority complex (lowkey proud to admit I think I can manage it better tho), but really, one of the only ways I can make going out for drinks in group more interesting for me is by shifting the conversation of a smaller group to some discussion of sort on topics people seem knowledgeable or passionate about. Only way I'm willing to put up with all the noise and chaos lol

Let’s put it all on the line, see who’s victorious (Patreon)
#Doodles#Just Desserts#Villainsona#IRL vent stuff in the tags be warned#I've mentioned offhand that Kaiein is inspired by various sources but overall mostly on one person#And I've been very low contact with that person for years now - but I'm going to meet with them in the near future#I'm nervous as you can imagine haha#But I'd like it infinitely more to have to change Kaiein than to have him reinforced so I'm trying to feel hopeful as well#Either way I'm prepared. Either I get to do some rewriting or I have a very well-worn established outlet#Haha - it's a bit funny actually since there's no one-to-one translation but there is a kind of asymmetrical equivalence going on here#I pretty much never include my family in my sonas' stories - which is double funny since I love being an older sibling so much lol#That aspect rarely makes it into my sonas! I guess I feel like it's not my place to make characters for my loved ones lol#But IRL they're my support system <3 I'm in good hands and I trust them to have my back with what I need to face#And Charm has her wings! The Staff! She has something to rely on that make her more capable and confident!#It's not The Same Thing but it's how it feels ♥ The power of love and friendship!! It makes me stronger!!#And that's what makes the difference between Charm as a villain and a Hero :)#I used her TVAU outfit here - or one of the temps anyway :P - but honestly this is probably how S2 would go down hehe <3#You're no match for Charm when she knows she's loved!! She'll fight you to full defeat!#I wonder how he'd react#Guess I'll find out real soon#Wish me luck

A female f1 driver who was featured in the barbie movie as the f1 driver. You could write about her scene and working with the Margot and Ryan lol, and how the grid reacts to it. Lanpd could be her bf or not if you don't want.
You don't have to absolutely write if it doesn't strike any inspiration and you obviously can write whatever you want you xoxo
