#anyway I won't be following anything they do after this bc i'm pretty sure I like the show in spite of its creators instead of because of th

[marypsue]

Ahh also as an addendum to my previous ask about the age swap (which I might’ve accidentally labeled as the body swap fic due to the foibles of being awake unexpectedly early ), I was curious what your criticisms are regarding Robin and Will’s treatments by the Duffers? I know you’ve alluded to being bothered by both but I’d be curious to hear more ( if you have the time/hankering!)

Hooboy. Okay. Buckle in. 

Obviously this is going to be a combination of actual literary analysis and Big Feelings That I Have, so like, please don’t take this as any kind of moral dictum on what to or not to watch, or how to or how not to interpret what you watch. Also, a lot of what makes me uneasy and unhappy about how canon deliberately handles queerness (as opposed to when it does queer things apparently by accident, which as you may have noticed, I have considerable amounts of fun with) has to do with behind-the-scenes context I’ve read about, so there’s a certain degree of Telephone involved. And I’m still only halfway through season four. There’s just so fucking much of it. 

With all that said. 

The behind-the-scenes context I’m most specifically concerned with are the season-one pitch bible(? I think that’s what it’s called) (which, it should be noted, ended up diverging in some quite significant ways from what ended up in the show) where the Duffers first raised the possibility that Will might be gay, and the anecdote that Joe Keery and Maya Hawke were the ones who decided Robin should be queer and had to really push for it and wrote and choreographed that scene in the bathroom. Put the two together, and it tells you that the Duffers planned that there would be One (potentially) Gay Character in their show. 

And that character was the one they spent an entire season directing violent, vicious, eventually outright murderous homophobic hatred at through the mouthpiece of a couple of bullies. You can say what you want about revenge narratives and those characters ultimately getting their comeuppance, but for Me Personally, it sucks all the fun and escapism out of season one to watch it thinking that those bullies only got punished when they aimed that vitriol at someone to whom it didn’t literally apply. Also I still have to sit through however many episodes of that vicious homophobia onscreen regardless, so, like, that’s a walk in the park anyway. /sarcasm 

And then there’s that whole bad business in season three, where it’s never been quite clear to me if we’re supposed to see Mike as having been in any way in the wrong. Kind of scuppers the argument, to me, that we’re supposed to be on Will’s side. And season four, which so far has had Will tagging along after people who are supposed to be his best friends but mostly don’t seem to give a single damn about him, doing absolutely nothing but looking morose and sullen and tragic and *coughcough* Artistic, and causing Problems for the nice straight couple. 

(Tangential to the point I’m coming to, but also, my son deserves better than to be reduced to a soggy cardboard standee with ‘GAY’ scrawled across it in magic marker the way season four seems to be angling toward. All the Byers, but especially the Byers boys, deserve better than season four seems interested in giving them. But I digress.) 

Also. I love Robin. If you follow me, you probably know that. I’m a hardcore, ride-or-die Robin girl. But. With Robin, from what I’ve heard of the context, the Duffers never intended for her to be queer. They wrote a girl who was smart and funny and sharp and talented and a little bit mean and a little bit insecure and a little bit weird but in an interesting, endearing way - as a love interest for Steve. 

And then, as soon as season four rolled around, once they’d been pushed into making her canonically, on-screen queer (in a beautiful, tender, heartfelt, true-feeling scene that they didn’t fucking write), suddenly she’s had a complete personality transplant. Suddenly, she’s an awkward, bumbling, annoying loser who’s only funny when she’s the butt of the joke, who’s no good at anything and who nobody really likes except maybe for Steve, an outcast even amongst the freaks. When she does do something smart or competent, everyone around her reacts with shock, like it’s wildly out of character instead of how her character was originally written. One of these versions of Robin was written with ‘gay person’ in mind, and it unfortunately wasn’t the one we were obviously supposed to like. 

In both cases, I get the feeling that the storytelling issues stem from this like...assumption that queerness equals isolation and misery and tragedy, and that there’s nothing to queerness outside of that. That there’s something inherent to queerness, something pitiable but repulsive, that causes the isolation and misery and tragedy (not that those things are imposed from outside, by, say, violent homophobia). That it would be absurd to imagine that queerness could ever be joyful, or playful, or that someone might ever, given the chance to choose, not choose to be straight instead. Or that there could be enormous friendship and community and heart and pride in queerness, or even that queer people might find friendship and community and strength in each other. Or even fucking talk to each other, ever. 

Which is especially infuriating, because the whole central theme of season one (besides surface appearances being deceiving) is that community and care between people who are very different but discover they have more in common than there is that separates them is what saves the day! That love comes in all kinds of forms, and they’re all important, and that love can be stronger than fear! 

But apparently, according to the Duffers, queer love doesn’t count and queer community doesn’t exist. It’s just isolation, misery, and tragedy, and I guess we the watchers are supposed to sit outside of it and pity Them for it (and be quietly, sneakily, a little bit nastily grateful that it’s not happening to Us). Because of course nobody watching the show is queer. Of course. This show is made for normal people. 

It’s part of the same attitude I’ve also seen play out with the Duffers’ inability to just let a white dude be bad. Oh, they want to talk a big game about how they’re on the side of the freaks, and bullies are bad, and everybody should be respected and appreciated for who they are. But when it cuts down to the bone, when applying that precept to a girl or a person of colour or a queer person makes a straight white guy come off as a monster, they keep trying to dodge it. 

The more antagonists they try desperately to rehab without ever acknowledging why they were antagonists in the first place, the more it starts to look like they simply don’t really believe that the people those antagonists hurt really matter. That, somewhere deep down where the assumptions that are so baked in you don’t even realise they’re assumptions live, they don’t really believe that girls, or Black kids, or queer people are as fundamentally human and deserving of respect and compassion as their beloved awful straight white men are. That what they really think about bullies is that bullies are bad because the bullies picked on them, instead of the kinds of people who deserved it.

(See also: that time a twelve- or thirteen-year-old Sadie Sink didn’t want to have to do a kiss in the Snow Ball scene, so the Duffers, who had just been joking about having her do it, actually made her do it. For multiple takes. Specifically because she didn’t want to. And then later related that anecdote to the press. Because they thought it was funny.)

Anyway. Personally, I’d prefer canon just never say anything definitive on the matter of Will’s sexuality and stop trying to push the narrative in that direction, so I don’t have to watch the Duffers spectacularly fumble yet another attempt at Writing About Marginalised Groups. 

(Also, this is absolutely not me saying Watch A Different Show - I’m here writing fanfic for this stupid show, it’d be pretty fucking rich of me to try to tell people to stop watching it. But I’d really love for many of its fans to get some more exposure to less-mainstream, more deliberately queer literature and film, so y’all can see what it really feels like to be seen and acknowledged and loved by a story, on purpose. I get it! I do! I too have wanted very badly to feel like something I loved, loved me back. 

But you don’t have to content yourselves with scraps. And you definitely don’t have to be so concerned with those scraps that you blame your friends, cousins, siblings, brothers in arms for ‘stealing’ some kind of ‘representation’ from you by asking to be seen and acknowledged and loved as well. The bastards who’ve been withholding that recognition from all of us would love nothing more than to watch with amusement, gorging themselves on a banquet, while we tear each other apart over a couple of discarded bones. Don’t give them the satisfaction. We don’t have to be isolated, pitiable, pathetic, miserable tragedies. Put the hollow promises of exclusionism and respectability down. There is queer art and literature and film and community and joy and love in abundance that you don’t have to beg anyone for, and you are invited to participate. This is me inviting you to participate. 

And cordially inviting the Duffers to meet me in the woods behind the 7-Eleven.)

...

tl;dr the way the Duffers treat queerness when they do it on purpose feels like a combination of othering, contempt, and misery porn, and I hate it. And that, in a nutshell, is the rant I’ve been sitting on for the last two-and-a-bit years. I’m getting down off the cafeteria table now. 

[sugar-omi]

I feel like Cove is the type of boyfriend to go into nail salons with his partner to be close (he’s a fucking giant lost puppy) and also to pay for his partner’s nails. Imagine looking through the colors with him in the waiting area and leaning over to whisper in his ear “what color do you wanna see wrapped around your cock tonight baby?” Fucking frying his poor brain, now he can’t follow to the nail chair cause he’s hard.

yesss i've talked about that before, n i'm so glad someone else thinks he'd also pay for your nails/give his imput!!! he'd be so happy to pay for them for you n he'd be super happy if you asked what you should do for your nails

after you whisper that in his ear, he'd have to just go straight to the car, he cannot hide it n he won't be able to sit still anyway because now he's thinking abt it. and he's restless.

oh but he does pick out a color.. has a hard time keeping composure bc he's thinking about it, vividly imagining your nails wrapped around his dick only to paint your hand in his cum by the end..

i can't tell you what color he'd pick. he'd be thinking about his favorite colors, your favorite color/s, nail trends.. tries to think back to whatever nail inspo pics you've been looking at most, and picking one of those colors if that's the theme of your scrolling

tells you the color, and if you agree, he's out. he'll see you outside in an hour or so

and when you get home (or to the nearest secluded parking spot if you're real horndogs), he's like putty in your your hands.

only metaphorically, because he's ridiculously hard. to think such a little comment would stir him up that much is crazy but it did

even makes you undo his pants. he just wants to see you use those hands on him in every way. hates when you slowly tug down his zipper and tug his jeans halfway down his thighs, and your nails scrap his hips as you tug down his boxers to expose his heavy cock..

he's fucking hypnotized

his eyes are honed in on your hand, how you hold his dick tightly on your hand, jus the way he likes. and your manicured thumb is circling his leaky, flushed head.

his head is spinning like crazy. pretty sure you've changed his brain chemistry with that question earlier at the salon, he'll never be able to look at your nails (especially this set and that color) after today. probably won't be able to think about anything else the next time you ask him what you should do for your nails

ohh but he'd melt if you lowered yourself towards his lap, taking as much as you can down your throat, focusing on lavishing the tip with attention from your tongue

can't help but throw his head back, your spit drenching his length, and you're still working the rest of his length with your hand. the obscene wet sounds, plus your new nails, pre and drool running over your knuckles, it has him in pieces

and when he falls over the edge, his cum spilling past your lips and you pull off him, his dick is still lively at the sight of your swollen lips kissing his tip and licking at his leaky tip as you

can't help but be rearing to go again even after he finishes. the sight of your pretty, swollen lips and your hand, twisting to work him through his orgasm, milking him for those last few spurts of cum that run over your knuckles...

jfc he's so easy to ruin with a good handjob

Things i think Lucifer would do while you're dating

♥︎fluffy fluff all over, sfw

✧ i don't think there's any warnings i should put here other than me projecting onto my favourite babygirl. and very soft Luci 🙏 (my personal religion)

☆ these are purely some scenarios i like to think about often in my lil fantasy world in my head, (and yes this is still and art account i don't write much<33)

• He keeps a list of things you like so he can get them for you. He's very observant, especially when it comes to his beloved, so if he sees something catch your eye while on an outing or you've liked/shared an item on your story/ saved something pretty to pinterest (which he follows but won't admit it. it's not like he really uses the app for anything other than gift ideas for you anyway) he will keep it in mind and write it down in his notes app when you're not looking/there.

• He brings you flowers every week. He learns flower language so he can give you the most meaningful bouquets he can. When they start wilting he immediately replaces them with fresh ones, but he doesn't throw the bouquets away, he proudly displays them in vases around his study.

• You mentioned your favorite snack/sweets (that you can't find in the devildom) once in a conversation with Asmo that he overheard and since then he periodically goes up to the human world to stock up on them so you can have a treat whenever you like :)

• He asks you to do his nails one time as an excuse to get away from paperwork for a little bit and spend some time with you, and you both started gossiping and just talking about RAD, his brothers, etc, and this has since become a routine between you two, one day a week either in his room or yours you get together to sit on the floor while you do his nails and gossip

• he has awful night terrors and has no idea how to cope with them, of course he can't go telling anyone about them that would be embarrassing but he also doesn't want to worry anybody. he's the big brother he's not supposed to show any weaknesses so that his brothers have someone to rely on (shhh I'm projecting) so he distracts himself with work and music, he's lost too much sleep over these kind of nights. One night after you two had been dating for a while though he woke up in a cold sweat and while his first instinct was to go to your room there was something stopping him. So he turned to distracting himself again this time by putting on your favourite show/movie. And he continues doing this every time he has a nightmare until he feels comfortable sharing such vulnerability with you. He finds it oddly comforting even if it's a genre he wouldn't typically enjoy, remembering you talking so fondly about it gives it a different kind of vibe, sometimes depending on how exhausted he is or how bad the night terror was he'll fall asleep with it in the background.

• Takes interest in your hobbies and makes sure you never run out of supplies and new things to try out. And if he sees you eyeing anything relating to your craft or a game or ANYTHING REALLY you'll have it the next day

• Will ask you to come do your work/chill in his study while he's working as a way to spend time together, in the beginning he says it's bc you'll be able to focus better since no one will disturb you there and there's less noise but later he realises that your presence helps him be more productive so when he feels his motivation and focus slip he'll come into your room to do the rest of his paperwork next to you or if you're sleeping in his bedroom that night he'll come work at his desk there, as long as he can be near you he has a reason to finish his work faster.

• Lucifer being an exhausted older sister™️, never really gets to let his guard down so when he trusts you enough he'll finally let his mask slip and give up control for a moment (something all of us wish we could do tbh). someone go bigspoon this man he needs it.

• ^ so he likes to walk up to your/his bed after a long day and just plop on top of you in his pjs and demon form, he knows he's heavy, he knows you were reading but tbh he doesn't care he needs to be held right this instant. bonus points for you if play with his wings, scratch his head esp near the horns or rub his back. you're never getting rid of him now.

• he's so interested by everything you tell him, you wanna explain the plot of a new book in excruciating detail? tell him all the hot gossip you've been hearing from your friends at RAD/Asmo? Make him watch a 10 season long show while explaining every minor thing? go ahead, he will literally give you his full attention if he's not swarmed with paperwork. he'll remember 99.9% of what you tell him too.

[duck-in-a-thrift-store]

Alright guys here's the first room closeup (+ headcanons/notes), by popular demand:

~Mike & Will's room~

(Plz don't judge my choice of wall art I pretty much just picked it bc it matched the wallpaper colors and there weren't a lot of good options)

Ok so design details

I know yall see that blue and yellow, and the green in the middle. All very intentional. The bed w/ the yellow blanket is Will's & the one w/ the blue blanket is Mike's. They sit on the rug when they're having their little heart-to-hearts that the rest of the party never seem to be a part of for "some reason"

Also, these boys wear a lot of fuckin stripes, so. Blue and yellow striped wallpaper? Green striped rug? Idk man it was screaming byler what can I say

And then there's a record player or whatever on the dresser between them, bc as we all know Will is a music guy and Mike lets Will do whatever he wants even if that means keeping him up listening to his favorite song all night bc he'd never forgive himself if Vecna somehow got Will bc Mike made him turn it off*

*So, to explain what that's all about: after his repeated failed attempts with Max, One went after Will next bc y'know, lots of trauma, easy target, etc (at least that's what the mf thought, I'm pretty sure Will lowkey has powers or smthn)

(This happened before the start of the au btw so it's just sort of background info, it might be mentioned but it won't be happening in present)

But anyway Will almost got Vecna'd and it was partially Mike's fault bc they got in a fight, Mike said smthn stupid and Will ran off, we know the drill (Mike still blames himself for it even tho they made up & Will forgave him and is fine)

Mike kinda lost his shit, honestly I'm thinking in his terror he pushed El too hard to save Will (when she was already doing her best obviously bc that's her brother) and that was part of why they broke up bc even El realized he cared more about Will than her- Mike is pretty much the only one who doesn't know yet lol

And they all survived obviously but now they're both kinda extra paranoid about it and even though they've moved far away and One hasn't followed them they still worry that some day he might track them down, so they fall into a (compulsive) habit of playing Will's favorite songs on repeat

(I'm not giving you his fav songs bc first of all I can't even decide my own fav song and also it just feels really presumptuous like that's too personal of a thing for me to decide for somebody else. I take music very seriously & very personally ok. Funnily enough tho I am listening to "should I stay or should I go" at this very moment)

Anywho, moving along

That desk by the door is mostly used for coming up with new campaigns they don't want the others to spoil (it's ok for their roommate to have insider knowledge that's not an unfair advantage or anything and besides it just can't be helped y'know? /s) no but they do collaborate sometimes and they work so well together as storytellers that the others find it lowkey unsettling (Dustin and Lucas are used to it tho)

>tw: vaguely suicidal themes?

Someone, not thinking I guess, makes an offhand joke about them being on the ground floor so they don't have to worry about Mike jumping out the window, and Will, who somehow hadn't ever actually heard the whole "quarry story," asks what that's supposed to mean and then they very awkwardly have to explain and he's basically like "oh my god what the hell that's not fucking funny why would you joke about that" and for a while after learning about it he's extra conscious of any self-deprecating/self-sacrificing type shit Mike says

Also they have "crazy together" written somewhere in the room no one else will see it. It's uncertain where, or whose idea it was, or why they did it, but they did. Probably to sort of make the room feel more like it was claimed as *theirs* after having to move to a new house far away from familiarity, and as a reminder to always be there for each other when times are tough

[monochrome-sunsets]

tOH x HtTYD

i genuinely could not get this out of my head so here are what dragons i think various owl house characters would have and why

.

.

eda - flame whipper

- heehee gecko dragon :)))

- flame whippers are super protective of their babies!! aunt eda is super protective of luz and king!

- flame whippers usually live in packs and don't like people, but babies are way more curious and open and tend to wander away

- eda probably picked up a baby flame whipper from somewhere and, upon being unable to find its pack, decided to raise it on her own, a la king.

.

- there's like a 50/50 chance eda names it something cool (like king) or a bad pun (like owlbert)

.

lilith - deathburple

- they're so funky lookin...... take a peek at lili's raven out of staff form and tell me she won't love a funky lookin dude, i dare you. that palisman looks like a pure white frogmouth.

- lili's deathburple is almost certainly of purple and white colouring

- she'd probably name it, like. beelzebub or asmodeus or something. i like asmodeus the best, tbh

.

- anyways. deathburples are mischievous (like hooty), vain, lazy, fierce, loyal, and deeply caring. i think lili would absolutely adore her baby deus (and occasionally be a little frustrated with him).

.

belos / philip - threadtails

- ......poisonous dragons. .....what else is there to say.

- i feel like philip wouldn't LOVE dragons, but he'd keep them around because of their use, similar to how he treated magic for a bit. he hated it and wanted it destroyed, but also... he needed it to get home.

- deeply loyal dragons. there would be no convicing them to not follow his orders. that manipulative, controlling bastard would love this.

.

- he doesn't name any of them because he has no love in his non-existent heart.

.

hunter - typhoomerang

- typhoomerangs are anxious, high-strung, and territorial. these all fit hunter pretty well well i think.

- hunter's typhoomerang (he'd name her after a food- waffle, maybe, to fit flapjack) would see him as her baby. she takes one look at him and goes "anxious... aggressive.... yellow...... that is a baby typhoomerang. mine now."

- she tries very hard to make sure he is well-fed. hunter is utterly bemused by her offerings of raw fish. he will not be going hungry on her watch.

.

.

luz - changewing

- honestly if anyone could befriend the living embodiment of severe social anxiety, it would be luz

- it's luz's adhd (and, later, ptsd) service dragon

- luz is its anxiety service human

.

- i'm gonna go with windsor for her changewing's name! she named it after red windsor, a type of cheese, and she thought it was funny bc haha dragon wind soar

.

amity - swiftwing

- deadly nadder probably also would have been a good fit? but i already gave that to emira, and i wanna give everyone a different dragon, so a swiftwing it is!

- swiftwings are stubborn, brave, and committed. they prefer to stay close to their riders, and will do just about anything to keep them safe and healthy.

.

this is the only image i could find :l no grown ups unfortunately

.

willow - hobblegrunt

- hobblegrunts are calm and peaceful, but they are still dragons, and therefore still dangerous- just like willow!

- hobbles have the ability to sense shanges in temperature, air pressure, and emotions. these could be pretty useful to a plant track witch

.

- since she named her palisman clover, she'd probably name her dragon something similar. hedge, maybe? leaf? idk

.

gus - shovelhelm

- shovelhelms are social, friendly, level-headed, and intelligent. i think they'd make a good fit for gus, who is ALSO social, friendly, and intelligent!

- gus gives stupid long names (his palisman is named. emmiline bailey marcostimo.) so i'm gonna sayyyyy sebastian elias thiago will be his dragon's name

- seb is obsessively trying to build gus a nest at all times. gus often assists and is always bringing him new material. he wants the best for his boy, and that sentence means both gus for seb and seb for gus.

- sebastian also works as an autism & anxiety support dragon for gus! he's fantastic at helping gus recognize when he's getting overwhelmed or nearing a meltdown or depressive episode, and great at distracting him and helping him calm down.

.

.

emira - deadly nadder

- constant grooming & focus on physical beauty from a nadder

- when well-trained and befriended, nadders are super affectionate and playful! good emira dragon :o

- nadders have super strong parental instincts, to the point where they'll adopt children of other species. emira's nadder probably sees her as its kid.

- i have.... no idea what emira would name her dragon :(

.

.

edric - terrible terrors

- i cannot explain why. i simply think he'd have a small flock of terrible terrors following him basically everywhere.

- 100% they'd all be named something similar. there's grey, ray, jay, bay, fae....

[cookinguptales]

SO THOSE ARE MY TAGS.

I've seen this post go around several times now and have watched with wide-eyed amazement as the notes just piled higher and higher so like?? Might as well actually talk about this in the notes??

To start with...

there's not a word yet (for old friends who've just met) The Muppet Show | Bunsen/Beaker | 12k | PG

Beaker's sure there's some kind of heartwarming moral in all this, but all he wants to do is get through this safe, sane, and intact. The Muppets may have other plans.

It's been almost 10 years and I still love this fic. I loved writing it, I love having people read it, I love what came out of it.

Anyway.

I won't go into detail rn, but I first starting writing Bunsen/Beaker when I was 24 and I was going through a pretty rough period in my life that involved a lot of physical and emotional pain. I wasn't getting around much due to a fairly persistent injury and I ended up being in an unexpected country over Christmas, so I decided to drown my sorrows in the Yuletide fic exchange. I offered up The Muppets because they've always been a comfort canon for me, and the person I got as a recip asked for "anything".

So... I ended up writing this 12k word Bunsen/Beaker fic that was all about finding your place in the world and meeting someone with the exact flavor of crazy that complemented yours. Meeting a whole found family of lunatics that understood you in a way no one else ever had. It was all about burnout and rekindling your love for your passions, and I guess in that respect it was a very personal fic. But I had a ball writing it, the recip loved it, and it ended up doing very well that Yuletide. (People... will put up with some very weird fic at Yuletide. I had to create the B/B tag on AO3 for it.)

I got some followers after reveals, but things were relatively quiet for a little while. I was thoroughly enjoying the Muppets web shorts that Disney was posting at the time and talking about them online with my friends, but the fandom was still practically nonexistent. Then Flowers on the Wall was put on YT and I was like ???? wait is my ship about to be canon???? and a bunch of other people were like WAIT, IT'S OUR SHIP, TOO????

So the fandom really kicked off around then, though I think it had been lying dormant in our hearts up until that point. We talked about all the B/B subtext in older media (and there is a lot), we talked about the queerness of Beaker's original performer, Richard Hunt, and the way that the Muppets had always made us feel seen when we were young and queer and alone.

And then the new ABC series came out and the pairing went canon and things got A Little Crazy for a while, lmao.

I ended up writing more ficlets for people who wanted to read them (though nothing as involved as there's not a word yet) and had a lot of time playing with the rest of fandom! I ended up drifting out of the fandom, partially bc I was writing other things and partially for... I guess some reasons that don't have to be aired publicly. I had some uncomfortable experiences.

All in all, though, it's a period in my fandom life that I look back on very fondly. I had a good time! I enjoyed myself! I wrote some good fic! (Not... all of which I've actually put on AO3, oops.) And I actually spent a fair amount of time interacting with Muppets creators on social media, which was fun, too.

So uhhh I know that it sounds weird if you weren't there, but it was a very natural and fun part of my life and I'm really happy it happened!

(Also last year I got to see some of the original Bunsen and Beaker puppets in San Francisco and I cried. lmao. I went to take a selfie and a nice young man was like, "Do you want me to take a pic?" and I said yes, then took a picture of him in return. And he shyly told me that he was a scientist IRL and he loved those two Muppets and I didn't tell him why they were important to me, too, but we had a nice little bonding moment over how much those puppets mean to so many of us for such intensely personal reasons. Love that for us.)

ok sure fine

[gogolstoelicker]

Hello ! Im new and I love your headcanon can I request this but if don't want to write this feel free to ignore it this. So mc as Aether :D

he doesn't ask for ur help often tho since he's more than capable to carry lots of stuff alone or run his own errands

plus riddle will surely scold him

i would say collar but riddle is a new man🙏plus he can't really collar trey of all people

ace is ur #1 errand maker

Octavinelle:

azul? he's a little hesitant bc he doesn't want to owe anyone anything

jade however, will spare u no mercy

not even hiding will help, he WILL know where u are

hiding in ignihyde? he knows what he can do to make idia hand u over

hiding somewhere with rook's help? he'll find a way to get u^^ one way or another👁👁

or that u actually saw him despite kalim being a sunshine that will blind ur eyes

kalim is more than happy to have u around

he might accidentally pull u out of an errand

u thank him and he goes :D???

because his intention is to hang out with u

he would literally snatch u in the middle of smth

like *YOINK* HEY LET'S GET ON THE MAGIC CARPET AGAIN TODAY!!

he always wanted to hear ur adventure stories

it sounds so fun! he wants to travel the world too!

if u ever went back to ur world and there's a chance he can go with u and back to his world too, he'll literally beg u to bring him

he NEEDS to go traveling with you PLS.

he'll even pay both of ur expenses so pls☺

Pomefiore:

vil absolutely dislikes those who does not put in any effort and rely on othets too much

so u can imagine how he is when someone from his dorm is requesting u to do some errands for them that they could do themselves

his eye literally twitched

stands right behind u like

help it looks like a face vil would make im crying

yeah they have a special dorm gathering where vil just yells at them not to find u to make u do some petty errands they can do themselves

if someone tries to get u to do errands behind vil's back, pls expect rook to just appear from the trees or bushes

like "NON‼️ROI DU POISON ALR TALKED ABT THIS‼️"

startling the poor student that they just

run away

rook made no effort to catch them btw

so now hes in an interrogation with u

"what were u doing?🤨"

"haha! i was simply studying the animals around!"

u thinking if he meant ants or bugs bc there's no animals or someone from savanaclaw around🤔

epel would gladly beat up someone if you're having a hard time saying no to them

like haha u asked the prefect to run some errands? WELL RUN FROM THESE FISTS FIRST👊👊💥💥

Ignihyde:

the dorm is full of diligent people so i doubt there's anyone who'll ask ur help here

well maybe help with socializing but that's probably it

but they'll ask u for help the least even from when u first met so u really like the dorm:D!!

that this place is even ur first to go place if u wanna hide and not have people stop u in the middle of nowhere

ortho is more than happy to have u around

he's the one who suggest ignihyde be ur hiding place in the first place anyway

is more than happy to introduce u tk his big brother too

idia going "oh its the school's errand runner"

u going head in hands shinji mode after hearing that

cue ortho scolding idia

after that, you're more than welcomed in

y'all would have daily gaming nights

with idia beating ur ass almost every round

its an ego boost for him so like😎

he also likes to hear ur stories along with ortho

especially when talking to u is like a landmine

"inazuma sounds cool, how was it there?" "oh you know i was there to find my sister but i somehow got involved in rebelling against their god and i beat that same god in a fight :DD"

idia and ortho looking at each other before looking back at u with mouth and eyes wide

"so um back to topic😰😰"

Diasomnia:

lilia and the gang is there to shoo the others away!

can u tell that i favor lilia

someone is trying to get u to run errands in diasomnia? lilia is giving them the look behind u

sometimes malleus is the one hovering behind u and is staring into the person's soul

if it's sebek by ur side at the time, he will yell at them and how lazy they are to not being able to do even that simple task

if it's silver, he's more chill so u can count on him to just give a small glare and reject it for u

malleus might gave his dorm members a warning abt not asking u for help unless they absolutely need it too

and who dares to cross THEE malleus draconia? right, no one

since u have this nature to just blend in with any crowd, sometimes they're not even surprised to see u in diasomnia, with a cup of tea in hand

and lilia trying to sneak into the kitchen in hopes of giving u something he made while silver tries his best to stop him

sometimes diasomnia is like ur dorm or smth🤔

sebek and silver is more than happy to practice their swordsmanship with u

with lilia watching in the background like "ya kids have a long way to go^^"

and they're more than happy to listen to ur stories too!

ur adventure story is officially silver's bedtime story

lilia and malleus are really interested in the history and their attractions etc

sebek is that one guy who won't be able to sleep unless u tell him the whole story

or else he'll be awake at 3am trying to make up some scenarios of how the story ends so he can finally go to sleep

[kim-seung-mo]

hi, hi, Elie!!! 💓 i hope you're doing well <3

since you asked for fic ideas, how about cuddling on the couch with hannie while it's raining? like it's the weekend and it's cloudy out and they're sitting on the couch watching a show or smth when suddenly one of them feels the need to be closer and goes to hug the other? cuddling while speaking in low voices bc they don't want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere 🥺

or just clingy hannie in general bc this man has been testing me lately 🤩

Rainy Days

Han Jisung x gn!Reader

Just ordinary life can be incredibly enjoyable.

♩drabble, pure fluff and softness, no warnings

♩♩word count: 783

♩♩♩A/N: for my dear deni <333 (even though it's not really good)

is this my first one-shot/drabble where it's actually pure happiness? maybe...

It has been raining for days on end.

Normally, you weren't the biggest fan of rainy days. After all, everything becomes messy when it rains. But if rainy days meant you could spend the whole day at home with your boyfriend doing nothing? Then rain season would be your favorite season.

You woke up with Jisung still beside you, asleep like a little baby, and you couldn't help but lean down to kiss his forehead. To be honest, you weren't very used to waking up with him by your side. For most days, he's long gone to work by the time you wake up. But now they were on their vacation, and you had two whole weeks together.

You grabbed your phone from the nightstand, unlocked it, and sneakily snapped a picture of Jisung asleep.

But your phone betrayed you, for you forgot to turn off your shutter.

"Hmmm…… Y/N?" Hearing the sound of the shutter, Jisung woke up and rubbed his eyes, trying to wipe the sleepiness out of them.

"Good morning, Sungie." You hastily turned your phone off and tossed it to the side, pretending you hadn't done anything earlier.

Taking pictures of each other was one of those things that could be considered a little competition between the two of you. You both had hundreds of cute pictures of each other saved on your phones. Whether it's when you're asleep, when you're eating, when you turn around without thinking, or any other time. When you lie in bed together at night, you show them to each other.

"Damn it… I can't believe you got up before me…… I guess I can't take pictures of you asleep today."

Speaking of which, because he always wakes up before you to go to work, he has a lot more of you asleep on his phone than you have of him. It's rare to get a picture of him sleeping.

"Did the shutter sound wake you up? I'm sorry…"

Jisung shook his head, reaching out and pulling you into his arms, his chin resting on your shoulder and nuzzling. This was one of his little habits, a way of showing intimacy, if you will. It seems he's in a good mood today.

"It's still raining today……?"

"Yeah, can't go out again."

"Well, I didn't want to go out anyway……"

Your boyfriend basically stayed at home whenever he didn't need to go out. The rainy weather was arguably the best excuse.

You smiled and left his embrace, followed by a lazy stretch with a yawn. He did too, his eyes still misty.

"Do you want to watch a movie?"

Hearing about watching a movie, he immediately opened his round eyes. His eyes filled with tears from the yawning.

After a moment of thinking, he nodded.

"Howl's Moving Castle?"

"Howl's Moving Castle."

He was pretty restrained during the earlier stages of your relationship, not willing to show his wants and needs even during intimate times. For him at that time, holding hands was perhaps the maximum he could do. But recently, not sure since when, perhaps he finally understood how much you liked how close he wanted to be with you, he was now like your personal pendant. Not even willing to walk on his own. You had to carry him around everywhere.

When you got to the couch, you patted the seat next to you, signaling him to sit down. But he began to whine again, refusing to get off of you.

"If you don't get off, you won't be able to see anything."

"I can just listen, I've seen it hundreds of times anyway, I've memorized the plot and lines."

This was true, he didn't need to look at the TV screen to understand Howl's Moving Castle.

"So you want to stay like this? Do you want me to get you a blanket?"

He let out a "hmmh", pondering for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Your body is warm enough."

With that, you reached out and stroked the adorably rounded back of his head, leaving a kiss on his shoulder.

"Good, then I'll start the movie."

The rain outside dripped on the window, the only light source inside the house was from the TV.

You smoothed Jisung's back slowly, helping him adjust his posture every now and then.

It didn't take long for Jisung to fall back to sleep again.

The fact that he could fall asleep on you must be proof of how much he trusted you, right?

For fear of disturbing Jisung, you deliberately turned down the volume and slowed down your breathing as well.

If every day could be as ordinary and happy as today, life would be perfect.

Akdjslfjs understandable. There are three dark-haired bewhiskered dudes in this show.

Anyway, let's do this. I rewatched the series and realized they do interact but never for a long time, but just long enough for Little to demonstrate himself the only officer somewhat capable of handling Hickey, or at least stand his ground against him, which is noteworthy bc Little's biggest character flaw is letting people walk all over him. That interaction is in Ep 6 when Hickey makes a dig at Crozier's "gastritis" and Little just kinda stares silently at him like he's a mouldy potato for a minute until Hickey leaves. Nothing spectacular but much better than Crozier, Hodgson or Irving have ever achieved with him. Just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

So, what makes me say they're mirroring/narrative foils is that one might say they're the two that get the most shit from Crozier. (Jopson has to put up with a lot but Crozier acknowledges him positively and Fitzjames gives as good as he gets). The first difference is obviously that Hickey classes very low in the hierarchy and Little is literally the second in command, most important man after Crozier himself. And yet! Crozier seems to occasionally forget that Little is like... A human being. Who shouldn't be sent out 4 times in a dangerous storm just to fetch him some whiskey without a please or a thank you (or at all) in Ep 5.

Hickey gets the violent bit of Crozier's disdain, with the lashing, Little gets the neglecting one.

So they'd have more or less equal reasons to mutiny out of spite, especially since Little was already effectively running the ship during Crozier's detox. The mutineers clearly thought so, seeing how Tozer makes two or three attempts to rope Little into the plot with decreasing subtlety. But Little doesn't give in or waver in his loyalty, he even tries to convince people to save Crozier after he's captured, and won't even let himself die until Crozier finds him again at the end. None of his resentment against the captain is ever expressed or exteriorized unless you count his perpetual sad face, bc as previously mentioned he lets himself get bullied pretty easily. So he's kind of a foil to Hickey, who obviously grows to hate Crozier more with every slight, be it real or perceived. They're the too extremes : too much resentment pushed past rationality and not enough.

This is where I find it fascinating that, despite not liking Hickey himself, Little is the one to come to his defense twice. First, in Punished As A Boy, he reminds Crozier that there's a procedure to follow before you can lash someone, and Crozier shoots it down. Tbh that is Little's role as First Lieutenant, to kinda keep the captain in check. But the second time, after Irving's murder, Little has a brief moment of growing a spine and questions Crozier's certainty that Hickey killed Irving, and even insists so much that Crozier threatens him too.

Hickey is a nobody who hoisted himself into the spotlight at any cost, Little should be second only to Crozier but is almost a non-entity. Hickey gives himself agency, somehow Little loses all of his very quickly.

And I'm thinking, why? Is it because Little knows how Crozier can be when he doesn't like someone, with or without reason? Because he feels like he must protect the men against Crozier's anger? Does he feel a bit of pity/sympathy for Hickey? Or not trust Crozier's judgement? It's so weird trying to reconcile that with his unwavering loyalty for the man.

(I'm tempted to go for the second option, because as much of a doormat as he is for himself, the few times we see Little oppose Crozier are to defend someone else - Hickey but also Silna)

And then, there's the fact that while he corrupts Hodgson and stabs Irving, Hickey never directly tries anything with the first lieutenant (lesson learned from their almost-wordless face-to-face in Ep 6?) and when it comes to confronting him over the armory, he delegates to Tozer instead. Which is weird, bc surely the abuse of one Very Tired Edward Little would not be a secret for Hickey, why would he not even attempt to use it to his advantage? One gets the feeling that they are, on some level, almost aware of their mirroring each other, and give each other a wide berth bc neither of them like what they see.

But what wouldn't I have given for a full conversation between these two. About Crozier. About loyalty. About responsibility. About self-esteem. About clemency. About privilege, too. And above all about the choices that they made, or were unable to make, that led to them being where they ended.

Sorry I can't word this coherently but your Hickey and Crozier meta is always fire so. I think I noticed a strange, very discreet mirror situation going on between Hickey and Little.

My first point of reference was that there are several instances where Crozier is planning to punish Hickey and Little is like uh sir he does have rights there's a procedure here ("a full court martial is required" |"what evidence do we have against him?") and it made me think how Hickey is actively leading the rebellion amongst the various men who feel wronged or abused by Crozier, and that he gets on it basically the moment Crozier hurts him

And then Little gets treated like absolute shit by Crozier almost the whole time and he never wavers in his loyalty, even when Tozer is outright calling it all out during the mutiny. He even wants to go rescue Crozier from the mutineers and holds off dying until he is sure Crozier is still alive

And like. It kills me that they never interact? Bc I feel like they could've had a really interesting conversation? The fact that Little is the only officer who tried to kinda defend Hickey but also the one who opposed him the most in terms of their relationship to Crozier?

Idk man I'd love to hear your thoughts

i'm so sorry man, this seems really well thought out on your part. but i don't remember which one little is.

[dokueshi]

𝐉𝐮𝐣𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐮 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐧 - 𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬(𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞?)

(headcanons)

𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Miwa Kasumi & Yuji Itadori bc im lazy af

𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: AY YO I'M BACK, sorry that i dissapear for so long, but school killing me😩 and i still don't have friends😐 anyway, I want to write again, so if someone wants to request something, you're welcome. also TY FOR 70 FOLLOWERS THAT'S SO NICE.

& let me know if I should write other characters.

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠:

𝐌𝐢𝐰𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢

♡︎ harmless type(無害型) & disappearance type(消失型)

♥︎ imo Miwa is literally the most harmless yandere you will meet in JJK, why? Because I don't think she would be able to kill another human. Compared to the rest of the characters, Miwa is more "normal", although she is obsessively in love with you, she would never hurt you, why would she? She loves you after all.

♥︎ She won't kill anyone, but that doesn't mean she doesn't think about it. I mean, she's just an ordinary teenager who exaggerates things, and when she sees someone trying to talk to you on some other, more private topic, her mind literally goes crazy with jealousy. She knows she has no right to keep you in a cage and forbid you from talking to others, but danm, she's really scared that you will love someone else, and that is very likely.

♥︎ She won't tell you about her feelings openly, she'll be too afraid of rejection, but she'll give you little signs that she may have feelings for you. She'll share her breakfast with you, if you have forgotten yours. If you are cold, she will shyly offer you her scarf. If you are unsure about something or you have doubts about yourself, she will quickly give you dozens of reasons why you are wonderful and she'll tell you how much she appreciates you as her friend. But it'll not be intrusive or beyond the norm.

♥︎ She doesn't like to hurt others, but she'll do it if someone dares to hit you or threaten you.

"𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 (𝒀/𝒏), 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖!"

♥︎ She won't do anything against your will, she can't bring herself to "punish" you in any way. She's not sure if you already know about her little crush on you, but she hopes you don't because you treat her as a friend, which would mean you reject her affection. (if you know what i mean)

♥︎ She will confess to you one day, she'll invite you to your favorite place and do things that you like or that she thinks you'll like.

♡︎ 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜����:

♥︎ SHE WILL BE SO HAPPY, she rather expected you to reject her because she's pretty average, but she's happy anyway! When you tell her that, she'll snuggle in your arms, savoring your scent. Despite all the stress and fear, she has succeeded, finally having a person she loves by her side.

She won't change in a relationship, she'll still be sweet, shy and obsessively in love Miwa.

♡︎ 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫:

♥︎ Well, she expected this, so it's not a surprise to her, but still....it's so painful. She won't be mad at you, she'll slightly apologize and thank you for agreeing to go out with her anyway. And it will be the last time you see her, she won't commit suicide, but she'll cut off contact with you because she doesn't want you to blame yourself for her.

She will miss you terribly, but she's not going to bother you.

"𝐀𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨."

𝐘𝐮𝐣𝐢 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐢

♡︎ wrong idea type(勘違い型) & dependence type(依存型)

♥︎ He can't live without you, end of sentence. Everything about you makes him crazy, your looks, voice, dreams, opinions, smell, he loves it all.

♥︎ I think you would only be friends in the beginning, like childhood friends or high school friends (with Yuji who has a little crush on you) , and Yuji would start crazy for you after he lost his grandpa. He was just so fuckin afraid he would lose you too.

♥︎ He may find the slightest sign of love in everything you do, even if you do it just out of kindness.

♥︎ He likes to have something that reminds him of you, it can be a smell (for example your favorite food or flower), something you like (for example: if you like cats, she'll buy a cat keychain), or something that reminds him of your hobby.

♥︎ He will also buy you some small gifts, literally when he walks past the store and sees something you might like, he will buy it. He can cook something you like too, he's not a great cook but he'll learn the recipe of your favorite food.

♥︎ After he ate Sukuna's finger, he had to figure out a way for you to go to Tokyo with him, he didn't want to part with you. He probably told your parents (assuming you were his age) that he needed to move and suggested that you could go to a better high school with him. If they weren't sure, he would add that he has a family there with whom he'll be in constant contact. (Which is lie i guess)

♥︎ If it turns out that you can see curses too, he would hide it for as long as possible, the world of Jujutsu is really dangerous and your health is his priority.

♥︎ He is so much in love with you that Sukuna makes fun of him and sometimes threatens him to tell you what dark and sometimes perverted thoughts with you are on his mind.

(a/n: you won't convince me that Yuji is innocent, the poster in his room says a lot)

♥︎ Sometimes he'll say things like:

"𝒘𝒐𝒘 𝒀/𝒏! 𝑾𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒔! 𝑨𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒉𝒂!"

"𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘? 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒖𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆..."

"𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖? 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈? 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈!"

man I'm really bad at this.

♥︎ If you tell him you don't love him, he'll probably think you are teasing or joking with him. Even if you do it multiple times.

♥︎ When you still reject him after he confessed to you, he'll panic a bit, you must be unsure of the relationship, right? Or maybe you just don't think it's gonna be good enough?? No, that's definitely not it, right?

♥︎ Well, Yuji doesn't get over the thought that you really may not love him. However, if you keep repeating this or even ignore him, he'll panic again, you can't leave him, he can't live without you, you are like air to him!

♥︎ So he'll most likely be reluctant to lock you in the house you share, you'll be a bit like a married couple! If your parents want to contact you, Yuji will impersonate you.

"𝑯𝒆𝒚, 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒚, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰'𝒎 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅! 𝑺𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒄𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚?"

[hanniejji]

Angst time💪 🙄 I had a similar dream like this so anyway.

This is au where their parents are alive and clan is still up. So Kazuha is the oldest so he would probably have to take his father's duties, and he doesn't need a lover...but Maple....well. Clan wasn't in a best condition let's say, so their parents had to make a deal with other known clan in inazuma. The caln had a kid similar age to Maple, so they decided that it would be good for both clans to have them together. ( maple is older here btw) Maple didn't really like that idea, neither Kazuha but their father told kazuha not to worry and to stay out of it. Maple had a lot of fights with their father, their mom didn't like the idea either, but thats all they can do to try to save the clan at the moment. Maple hated this, and would cry in their room because 1st they hate fighting with father, 2nd they hated that idea and 3rd they couldn't really do anything about it. Not only that, but Maple and that other person (the one Maple have to marry) hated each other.

One day their parents had a news for Kazuha and Maple, especially for Maple. They said that Maple will marry that person. Well.... things got a little complicated (bc why not 🥱). Let's say that Kazuha wasn't having it ( and maple too). Kazuha couldn't just stand there and watch his beloved sibling that he promised to protect suffer. (Nu-uh Kazuha is a badass 💪) They started an argument.

Kazubadass: "Father you can't just do that whitout talking to Maple first!"

Father👎:"Kazuha, i understand that you are upset but stay out if this, this is with me and (Name)-"

K: "Don't you see that 'Name' (when he uses Maple's real name yk something is bad💔) doesn't want this?! They hate it and you can see it but you choose to ignore it like always!"

Mom( we love mama kazuha): "L-lets calm down everyone, I'm sure we can talk about it in a more... calm way."

They were still arguing till they heard door shut with loud noise. Maple run to their room.

Father: * sigh* " 'Name' get back here-"

Kazuha: "Leave them alone, i believe you are the last person they want to see." Kazuha said angrily, and left to follow Maple.

Yeah dunno if i should continue, its pretty long anyways(?). Ya forgive me for grammar mistakes english isn't my first language 🧍‍♀️ Love yall

-🍑

clan head kazuha is kinda giving me tingles ehehe just imagining things yes don't mind me :D

these types of troupes are so frustrating too! maple knows that what their father is doing is going to benefit the clan, but can you really blame them for getting mad? a big part of their life in the future is being taken from them, it's only normal that they feel anger, right?

and if maple gets upset, so does kazuha.

he understands that this is important for the clan, but he also understands that this is important for maple. and for his father to tell him to "stay out of it"? oh no, he's going to do everything but that. he's going to do everything in his whole fucking body to show that he is against this.

papa kaedehara better stop being stupid or else he'll get the kazuha glare forever >:(

yet it's frustrating because at the end of the day, kazuha's not yet the head of the clan and he can't have the final voice in it. he can only express his anger towards hi father and that unworthy person he chose for maple. he knows that maple and this person don't get well together, so he makes sure that he's always ready to intervene and let this person know that if they ever lay a hand on a single piece of hair on maple, that he'll be met with the speed of a thousand winds that will surely throw him off a cliff. or maybe he wants to meet the sword itching to be unsheated from kazuha's scabbard?

surely it won't be murder if he disguised it with the weather, right?...

but what kazuha focus mostly is maple themselves. he makes sure to be there for them after every meetings with the clan or after they spent a hellish time with their betrothed. he listens to their rants, buys them their comfort food, just anything only the best big brother would do for his only sibling 🥺

Dysphoria Comfort Headcanons

Warnings - cursing, dysphoria, mentions of insecurity

Note: Reader is transmasc and it's geared towards ftm, but I threw in some gender fluid stuff too. I'm not well versed in genderqueer or demi, or other things along those lines, so tell me if I do anything wrong pleasee

Characters are Kyotani, Matsukawa, and Daishou

Transmasculine Reader - Fem Readers DO NOT Interact.

Kyotani Kentarou

Lets be real, he's a bit of a dunce

like I'm not saying hes stupid, he just doesn't understand much lol

So when he confessed to you and you started fidgeting, he thought he did something wrong

Essentially you were worried that he wouldn't want to be in a relationship with you once he found out that you're trans, so you got a lil worried

Bc essentially you pass very well at school and wherever, so you just didn't tell anyone

And now you were worried about that

So you just kinda come out to him then and there

and he goes 'okay'

Like literally his face doesn't change from 😐

he's like "so you still wanna date orrrr"

Yeah man doesn't care

I swear to everything that this man is pansexual

So onto the comfort part

For ftm readers firstly

If you feel uncomfy or too feminine or just overall awful, he'll try his best

And by try his best I mean curl his whole body around you

(even if you're taller)

He jus wants you to forget about it n feel better :(

he isn't good with words at all so instead he uses action yk?

If he knows that you're feeling dysphoric or sad he'll either A, follow you around like a dog to see if theres anything he can do for you, or B, cuddle you half to death

And those things also carry over if he has a genderfluid or nonbinary partner

If his partner is genderfluid, he'll try his best with the pronouns

Theres no saying he wont mess up, (ofc), but he'll feel pretty bad about it and wait on you the rest of the day

And same thing goes for a nonbinary partner

Loves you regardless, tries with pronouns if you're genderfluid, enby, or really anything on the spectrum

Matsukawa Issei

Why are there like no matsukawa gifs

anyways

ISSEI

Ftm reader for the beginning

before he even confesses, he knows bro

Takes one look at you and goes "oh yeah, that's a trans guy"

And he doesn't really care all that much

Sure every once in a while he's like "so he don't got a dick 🤨" and then moves on with his day

He didn't care too much until you joined the vbc as a manager

And then he was like "Okay I like this one"

Man just accepted that he thought you were cute and moved on with his life, just now crushing on the cute manager

I would say he confessed very casually on a walk home or something

COMFORT NOW

So Matsukawa, out of the three characters for these headcanons, is probably the most chill

If you're feeling dysphoric, just tap on his shoulder or something and he'll know whats up

Even in front of the team, he won't out you if you didn't come out

He understands that it's your choice and nobody elses >:(

And, for those who need to hear it, you're still valid even if you haven't come out to anyone

Whether you pass or not

Now for my ftm readers, (really also afab nb/genderfluid or whateva), You just know that he's the best when its that time of the month

Like the best

He'll go out and get you gender neutral supplies if you don't have it/are too nervous too, he'll buy you shit, everything

And with genderfluid (afab or amab yall both valid asf) readers he'll make sure that you have whatever you need to feel comfortable on any given day

I think he'd be a lot better with pronouns than Kyotani, cause he thinks more before he speaks

And for anyone else on the wide gender spectrum that I missed, you know he'll do good for you too

AND AND

If you use all pronouns he'll def mix them up a lot and not use one set of pronouns for too long if you don't want him to

Daishou Suguru

Now I know that he can be conniving and infuriating, but all I see is some awkward dude

He can be soft come on

So I'm gonna say you came out to him after you'd already established a relationship

And Daishou was WORRIED man

Like you were fidgeting and not making eye contact

He was like "this mf boutta confess to cheating or smth 🤨"

Lemme tell you, when you came out he was beyond relieved

But he was also like "oh nooo my baby thought we'd break bc of this :((((("

Makes it his mission to prove you wrong

Bc he really does care about you and whatever you need, he's there to help

If you are afab and don't pass, he'll do whatever he can to help you make that transition

Help you pick out new clothes, if you need a new name he'll make suggestions, he'll start introducing you as his boyfriend or his partner depending on what you're more comfortable with

And if you're amab/afab and use a multitude of pronouns/are genderfluid, he'll help you with whatever you need there too

I saw this thing once where someone made three different colour bracelets for their genderfluid friend, and depending on which colour bracelet said friend wore they knew what pronouns to use

I think Daishou would do something like that

He's sweet when he wants to be

He's very accommodating for whatever you need

And will also punch someone if they misgender you on purpose or be transphobic 🥰️

you were loved the most of all.

Ushijima Wakatoshi x reader | break-up angst

summary: You should've known that when Ushijima Wakatoshi found it easy to fall in love with you, it might be even easier for him to fall out of it. But who expects the worst when it comes to loving someone as seemingly perfect as him, anyway?

Chapter 1 of 2

Chapter 2 of 2

He said it was easy to fall in love with you. He said he didn’t know when exactly, at which place, nor for what reason. Simply one day, Ushijima Wakatoshi found himself looking at you with the epiphany that maybe there’s something more meant to happen between you and him. There you stood before him that day, the person he could promise love to. (And there he stood before you that moment, the boy whose promises you found yourself believing in no matter what.)

So maybe that’s why it was even easier for him to fall out of love. When he told you he was no longer in love with you, it didn’t matter to you to ask when exactly, at which place, or for what reason. Even the universe itself is meant to fizzle out one day along with the death of the stars. Just one more person drifting away from you like a lone planet with no real orbit shouldn’t leave you broken. You are used to this. You won’t fall apart.

But you break anyway.

It was snowing outside when he decided to tell you to end things now before it hurts both of you even further. Not that the snow has anything to do with the coldness creeping up your chest threatening to spill out of you in endless sobs. You were glad, though. That at the very least, he remained honest with his feelings. He never left you guessing. Every time, he never forgets to tell you what’s on his mind. His honesty is something he thought was necessary.

“I understand, don’t worry. Thank you for telling me right away. I know you’re also considering me–” you tell him and choke up. There are tears running down your face but you’re not worried about that. Wakatoshi never let you mask your emotions around him. For the longest time, he reminded you to feel free to be completely bare with him. All the good and the bad, he said. Don’t be afraid to show them to me. I will always understand.

He steps closer and puts you between his arms. You feel his chin on top of your head as you lean your face into his chest. You’re sobbing now. “I’ll be fine, Toshi. We’ll be fine.”

He kisses the top of your head and lets you stay in his arms for minutes. “I loved you then, and I love you still. It’s just that they’re no longer the same kind. I will stay if you ask me to, okay? Anything you want.”

This only makes you cry harder. He’s always been too good. And even in breaking your heart, he’s too good. You want him to hold on. You want to ask him to stay with you for years and years. Even with a different kind of love, you’ll let him be as long he’s close by. But someone like him who has dreams beyond yourself shouldn’t ever be with someone like you who still lacks certainty toward anything.

“Just for tonight,” you ask, still crying. “Can I stay?”

“of course,” he replies. Anytime you want. Anything you want. It has always been this way.

Because humans are creatures of routines and familiarity, you spend that night the way you usually do when you’re at his place. You cook dinner with him and eat on the dining table, sharing stories and laughter. You keep adding food to his plate and he smiles as you giggle at everything you find funny.

It’s okay, it’s okay. You’ll be okay. You’ll be fine.

You clean the kitchen and stay in the living room. He leans on the couch as you lay down with your head on his lap. You keep talking and laughing. He goes along, sometimes adding things to make you laugh even more, sometimes simply agreeing, sometimes asking questions. You keep it loud and light, afraid of the silence. Inside you, it’s so heavy, your heart might just fall off. This will be the last, you tell yourself. You want to be happy for now. While he’s still here.

"Do me a favor, okay?" You tell him as you're nearing slumber. "Let me leave first tomorrow. Maybe stay in bed, maybe pretend you're asleep. But tomorrow, don't get out of the room until I've left the house." Your voice shakes, feeling yourself wanting to sob.

"I don't want to wake up to another empty bed but I don't want to see your face when I wake up too," you curl into him even further. "I'm sorry for being selfish. I'm sorry I still don't really know what to do. And I know you wake up pretty early and you know, do stuff, but just for tomorrow, please?"

Wakatoshi didn't really understand why. He originally planned on cooking breakfast for you and taking you to the train station. He would watch you board the train and he'd make sure to smile at you as he waves. You always waved back. That's how it works. Even after fights, and even after especially bad nights, you'd still do the same. Watching you leave with a smile was how you both knew you'd still be fine the days after. That nothing much can affect your relationship. For years, this has been the routine.

But tomorrow, he knows he has to give way. He knows what he said hurt you. It would be wrong of him to do what he wants simply because he's used to.

Tomorrow's the last, he realises. And then if you want, he'd never see you again.

--

You wake up pretty early. The sky is a calm shade of blue, the world outside still waking up. You check the time on your phone and find it's 6 AM. Last night, you slept with your back on him. The sight before you is the other end of his bedroom and you notice just how much of yourself you've managed to leave around his place. Pieces of just one other person in his life, scattered in places around his world pretending that’s just where they belong. You didn't mind leaving things behind back then. You never really thought of the day that you might’ve to take back all of them. Just how does one pick up parts of themselves when they thought they’ve finally found a place for them to stay?

But as you stand up, you conclude that when things end, traces shouldn’t be left behind. He didn’t decide to break up only to be reminded of you even after you’re no longer close to him. So you go and pick every little thing that's yours. Even your jacket and sweaters and a few pairs pyjamas in his closet. You'll just take his things from your place too and hand it to Tendou's shop. Coming back here won’t do you any good. Him coming to your place instead wouldn’t either.

Collecting all your things, even the ones you can't use anymore, you leave the bedroom and enter the living room. You don't have many belongings here aside from some DVDs and books. You only take the books and leave the rest for him. You've always preferred reading anyway.

Setting your bag and things aside on the sofa, you go ahead and wash yourself in the bathroom and bring your toothbrush and some other products with you when you're done. You then head to the kitchen to cook him something light to eat for breakfast . You knew you didn't have to. He knows how to cook. It has always been him cooking breakfast for you. When you could, you’d rather stay in bed until the very moment you must start preparing to go to uni or work. But you did anyway. He's probably in his bed, awake. He has never been a heavy sleeper. With all the moving you did around his room, he was bound to wake up if he wasn't already.

You make him a simple omelette and write a small message on top of it with ketchup. "Good luck with practice today!"

You've already cleaned everything you used, preferring to wash and set utensils as soon as you're done with them. That way, when you're sitting down to eat, there won't be any cluster around to distract you.

You put the ketchup down and decide that should be enough. You'll stop here. You should go now.

Ushijima is sitting on his bed. He's been awake since 5 AM when he usually goes on his run. It isn't the first time he chose to stay with you instead of going out, but he can't help but feel heavy this time. He stayed in for you. But as the minutes pass by, it seems that he simply cannot find the courage to sit up and face you.

He wants to sink into his bed.

There's knock on the door followed by sentences uttered softly. "Toshi, I'm going now. There's breakfast on the table. Make sure to eat before you go."

There goes the heavy feeling again. Maybe if this keeps up, he might just actually sink and never get back up.

You've done that a few times. Leaving while he's still in the room. You don't even open the door. You simply knock and tell him you're about to go, always reminding him to eat before he goes too.

But this will be the last, he thinks. If you leave now, will he never see you again?

i'm so glad i don't live in boston near northeastern bc some shit went down tonight.

sheeeeeesh

the person who was injured was brought to the hospital with minor injuries and is stable now. anything else i'm not so sure about. i was just worried about the person who got hurt. everything else seems to be in order.

anyway, im at joel's! i'm happy to be here. he's downstairs. i'm in bed bc i need to go to work in the morning.

i worked on my commission more today. he's pinned together more now as i've gotten more stitching done and i've been able to move pins around, but the spine matches up and i'll have no problems with that. i just have to solve the problem with the bottom and the sides. i'll adjust the sides tomorrow and repin them properly. maybe stitch those parts and work my way down from there, since the spine is in place and can be sewn up without any issue.

i'm pretty proud of my progress on this lil guy in two days of sewing. i'm at 25 hours.

i'll post a picture when he's given as a gift as i may have the recipient as a follower but idk. i DO care, though, because surprise.

anyway.

i worked with a student yesterday who was a sweetheart who was reluctant to come and approach me at first, but as he got more comfortable he opened up a little more. he came back this morning and sat with me again, which he did instead of walking away first! so i'm pretty proud of him, even though i only met him yesterday. he also stopped for coffee and talked to the barista briefly! which is super good!! so im glad to have been able to meet with him and talk to him and even help him, yknow? in ways that don't have anything to do with tutoring. he's a good kid. in the afternoon he came back and we worked on some more math. i'm super duper proud of him.

i get to wash my hair in the morning!! it won't be crispy anymore!! hooray!!!

and today was the primary here. i didn't get the chance to vote this morning, so i figured i'd do it after work. i got home and was so fucking tired that i sat on the floor as my mom scratched my head for an hour after dinner. we went and got ice cream, and we got back around 7:40. i'd said i hadn't intended on voting, but when we were driving back to the house i decided that i needed to go vote. it's the least i can do to help people, so if it takes melted ice cream and twenty minutes of my evening to try and affect change, i'll do it. so i did.

i had my ice cream which was really good and i left for joel's and i watched john carter while sewing and now i'm in bed and ready to pass out.

woohoo.

[hebescus]

...and i hope he does / read on ao3

i was planning to reread labb but the part where mello said he hoped light reads it and realize how much shit of a human he is took me straight to google docs. light is pretty mean in this and this is just my good old 2am dump so don't expect anything serious 😅 plus ghost!L bc i like it and i can. and did jov just write a l and light gen fic? inprovement, i dare say. anyway enjoy <3

"This is sick," Light Yagami groaned, practically throwing a stack of spiral-binded stacks of papers onto his wooden desk.

"You're being ambiguous, Light-kun. Are you complimenting his writing or disapproving of it?" The thin breeze of air flowed like sharp strands of familiar black hair brushing against Light's left ear. He shivered, never getting used to it, ever.

"Did you really tell him this? All of this?" He ignored the previous remark and spun his chair to face the slightly hazy form of a man next to him. "You tell him you're a bottom and B's an...agressive top? 

"He exaggerated some parts, that one was his wording. But yes, I did tell him the whole story," the man answered, eyes glued on the paper — book? message? — still. "He was only thirteen then. I almost can't believe he remembered it so clearly and uses it as the remains of his living."

"I still don't understand why Near sent me this though," Light muttered, keeping his speculating thoughts away from L's ghost ears. "And you're not helping either, L. Pretty sure his ghost would be so stoked to see you more than I do now."

"I wondered what would be their reaction when they found out they died by the same hand, with the same pen, from a paper of the same book," L dismissed that and made his own question again, still crouching on the dining chair Light pulled into the bedroom just for him. It's not like Light can escort him away too, sadly. 

"They? You mean…"

"B and Misora, yes."

"Their mistake," Light answered with a low voice, stood up from his desk and started to get rid of his loosened tie."I hope they didn't gain any information after I read this and haunt me like you do."

"The thing is, Light-kun, if they can, there would be two hundred thousands of translucent beings hanging around this whole apartment building," L said sarcastically, while following the other like a puppy on a leash.

"Stop following me around. You're not my shoulder demon."

"I'm your shoulder angel then?"

If Light knew L's soul did not rot alongside his body instead tormenting each of his moves like this, he wouldn't have killed him. "That Beyond guy looks nothing like you, by the way."

Now that he discovered him again, his picture on the screen of his computer resurfaced from the bottom of his memory. Light remembered Ryuk's cackle when he saw it. He also noticed something similar in both of their eyes. Beyond's eyes caught the camera, his gaze pierced into his soul as if he could see something a human incapable of.

Now he understood why.

"He wore makeup, straightened his hair and manipulated his facial expressions. The mugshot won't show you all that."

"If you asked me if he's cool, I would've answered the same thing as Misora."

"All that to beat me."

"After seeing your face? No wonder, yeah. I knew that feeling. Long, long ago…" Light sighed, in the act or out of real weariness, no one's sure. "Good memories and nightmares."

"That's not nice, Light-kun."

"Oh yeah? I bet Beyond Birthday knows how nice you are." Light laid on the bed and L followed. He spoke monotonously. "Talk about being tossed into the very corner of an enormous brain after pulling each end of the earth just to gain your attention."

"He wasn't worth my time," L turned to face him.

"Not fair. I didn't even try and suddenly you're obsessed with the case to a point where you chained yourself to me and," Light shook his head with a fake, slight frown. "And then you fucking die, in my arms! When will justice be served for Mr. Birthday?"

"Light-kun is an asshole."

"What can I do? I'm not even worth the dirt beneath your shoes."

"If only Mello knew the circumstances you're under when you read it. I'm sure he'd be upset. But I do think the message served their purpose," L smiled mockingly.

"Whatever. Now go, tomorrow is my big day. I have to sleep," both of them checked the digital clock : 1.28.10 / 01:33 . "Seriously L, I don't want to sleep with you. Go talk to Ryuk or something."

"Right. I'll see you tomorrow."

With that the ghost left through the walls. Only to reappear as he promised between rusted steel and blood red stairway. The book, the sacred dying message which Near gave to him for the written wish — whether it was more of a spiteful remark or a literal purpose, he complied — of his passing friend left untouched before Misa Amane, twenty days later decided to dispose of it. To rot with every soul, every name ever written inside it.

[crossdressingdeath]

While I'm not entirely of mind that JC saw WWX as below him for their entire relationship bc he also thought he was 'not like other servants' and constantly being 1st place, it really doesn't look good on JC that his heartwarming moment of promise is easily compared to how wwx treated wn when he tried to bow to him. Another thing that doesn't look good is how JC will recognize his sister as someone with feelings and priorities in life that will lead her away from him and even marry a guy JC doesn't like, but won't recognize the same for wwx, and even get angry over it (Then again, this might also have to do with the notion that a woman will obviously marry out of her family and that wouldn't happen with wwx for being a man, or that leaving one's sect is unthinkable)

Honestly I think the best light I can see JC’s treatment of WWX in boils down to “You’re not like other servants”, and even then it feels generous. Like, JC treats WWX like a favoured servant, but that’s not the same as not seeing him as a servant or as beneath JC. Like... he says “Oh, the children of servants (or rather lower classes in general, given how he treats JGY the same way) will never amount to anything”... and he never gives WWX any rank even after WWX wins a fucking war for him. As sect leader it would not be hard for him to reward the ace up his sleeve who was probably half the reason the sects won (at least as fast as they did) and with... less casualties than there might have been (with JGY as the other half) with something, even just money, but WWX gets nothing and is expected to just carry on as before. His reward is to keep serving JC. The children of servants can never amount to anything... and when he gets the chance to put WWX, the child of a servant, on equal footing with him (or just somewhat more secure footing than he’s currently on), JC doesn’t take it. I mean, I can’t speak to Chinese history, but at least in the West “noble deeds on the behalf of your liege” was one of the most common ways for new noble houses to be founded! For comparison, JGY is both a bastard and the child of a prostitute (so I presume lower on the social hierarchy than the trueborn son of a servant favoured by a sect leader and quite possibly the most powerful rogue cultivator of their generation, at least so long as his sect leader father doesn’t recognise him) and he gets legitimized (and named heir after JZX’s death) following his part in the Sunshot Campaign. Yeah, even JGS treats his lower class war hero better than JC does (although that’s probably just pragmatism rather than decency; JGS may not be better than JC, but he’s certainly smarter).

And yeah, the way JC reacts to JYL getting married compared to WWX leaving (not even getting married; it’s only fan stuff that makes that a big deal for him! In canon his issue with WWX and LWJ getting married is that he’s a massive homophobe, not WWX leaving because of it) says... a lot. I mean, I’m pretty sure that as her only surviving male relative JC would’ve had to sign off on JYL’s marriage; he actively agreed to it, and shows no signs of being upset by the situation. He recognises that JYL has her own life to live and is happy moving into Lanling to be with JZX, and takes it with... as close to good grace as JC ever gets. Meanwhile WWX leaves to honour the life debt that JC shares and... JC gets him and fifty innocent people, some of whom he owes his life to, including a child killed because he couldn’t stand the thought of supporting WWX’s life away from him. And frankly even if he was just pissy about WWX leaving to get married... that’s his own damn fault for not giving WWX a title, because from what I’ve read men would marry into their spouse’s family if said spouse was of a higher rank than they were, which is a situation made far more likely to occur by the man in question basically being a servant. And also getting disowned. Don’t get me wrong, as sect heir LWJ would outrank WWX anyway unless JC named WWX heir as well (which he would never do), and even in that case I’m not actually sure what the rule would be for who marries into whose family if both parties and their families are of the same rank, but the fact that JC didn’t even consider making preparations for WWX getting married to try to prevent him marrying into someone else’s family suggests that either he didn’t think someone moving in the upper echelons of society while having insane power and being ridiculously charming could ever attract a high-ranking person (likely, given his belief that servants and the children of servants can never amount to anything; presumably that includes their marriage prospects) or the thought of WWX wanting to get married never occurred to him (also likely, given how he doesn’t seem aware of the fact that WWX does in fact have... a life and desires of his own).
