We know how akiza gets jealous of sherry talking about Yusei but does Yusei ever get jealous of akiza talking to a guy ?

Good question tbh! The thing is, canon does actually give us something a tiny bit like an inverse scenario of the Sherry scene with Yusei—that being when Aki ties Lyndon's (the son of the boys' landlady Zora, who only shows up in one episode) tie for him before he goes to talk to his mum. And in that scene, when Lyndon gets a bit too forward/familiar with Aki, we see Yusei grab him by his shoulder and pull him backwards a bit.

(Why yes, I do have a screenshot for every damned thing under the sun in this show, why do you ask?)

And like, just going off of canon here, Yusei doesn't look too pleased for someone to be all touchy with Aki here. Mind you though, neither does she, so you can read this as jealous, but you don't have to. Personally, I read it as protective—he's trying to get Lyndon out of Aki's personal space because he's making her uncomfortable. Yusei doesn't seem the jealous type to me, and even if he were, I don't think he'd express it in your typical rom-com "do you like him more than me" or sabotaging-someone-else kind of way. (Might be worth noting that we also never see an instance of anything like this from him in canon.) But also, that's me talking. The scene above certainly allows for a jealous interpretation if you're into it. I'm just not. I prefer to view Yusei as protective, in that he would certainly try to get some distance between Aki and a guy who's bothering her, but wouldn't feel ignored or threatened by her talking to someone else.

You all are so kind for checking in on me, even when I have only been back for a couple of days! Now how about I return the favor, and you tell me about your goings on, hm?

[poppyflavour]

Hi!

You can decide not to answer if you don't want to, and I won't absolutely judge anything, but what kind of relationship you see for the Hollow Heads?

Just curious

Tl;dr: Hollow heads are all siblings

Sorry if you meant it feelings-wise, but I used this ask to explore and put on paper some of my interpretation and story/world building

“So, like… Do you want to fuck me up or do you want to fuck me?”

“Can’t it be both?”

you're SO real for this. this is absolutely them. have like. a VERY short ficlet, this is only 1.3k but i loved the thought so. enjoy anyway <3

Tim still hadn't figured Jason Todd out.

For every time he thought he understood Jason, the rug was yanked out from under Tim's feet by Jason upping the ante. One day he was fighting Tim for no reason at all, the next he was crashing Tim's patrol just to talk. Which was Jason's way of saying he would beg for Tim's attention until they inevitably came to blows again.

And this time, as Jason pinned Tim against a rough brick wall and held him a solid foot above the ground to force Tim to look Jason in the eyes, Tim had no idea which end of the spectrum he was going to get.

"So like..." Tim groaned, trying to breathe in. He was pretty sure the slam against the wall was enough to bruise his ribs. His face was already bloody from the previous fight Jason crashed and he had to blink to keep blood out of his eyes. Maybe it was the blood loss, maybe it was his ever-thinning patience running out, but Tim had the brazen idea to say the question that always sat in the back of his head. "Do you want to fuck me up or do you want to fuck me?"

The question was a joke. Mostly, at least. Something to throw Jason off his balance and it worked wonders. Jason wasn't wearing his helmet, giving Tim the glorious view of Jason's expression shifting as he leaned back, eyes going wide and jaw falling slack. The feral smirk Jason always wore around Tim was gone, replaced by surprised, parted lips.

Tim waffled back and forth on if he actually believed Jason wanted to fuck him. It'd been a crude joke from Stephanie the first time when Tim ranted to her about yet another run-in with Jason. He hadn't taken it seriously at the time.

But the longer the question sat in Tim's psyche, the more he really wondered.

It was the closest he had to a reasonable explanation for any of this. Though, expecting reasonable explanations for anything Jason did might've been Tim's first mistake.

Jason managed to regain his composure by sucking in a breath through his teeth. His eyes narrowed and he leaned in as close as he could get to Tim's face without them physically touching. Just when Tim was completely positive Jason was going to rip Tim's jugular out with his teeth for the implication, Jason smirked again.

"Can't it be both?" He whispered, voice dropping an octave.

Tim swallowed.

Great corner he'd backed himself into with that one.

What response was he expecting out of Jason for either answer?

"I don't think that's how love stories work," Tim found his voice, even if it barely sounded like his own, breaking on a few words. "Courting comes with roses, I think. Not punches."

That answer just seemed to stroke the fire in Jason's eyes. His smirk grew into a deadly grin. "Didn't know you were a romantic. Do you want roses, Drake?" Jason tilted his head, then shrugged. "I can do roses. Can't promise I'll pull the punches, though. Call it a compromise."

Did Tim want roses?

Or, better question: did he want Jason?

That was something Tim had been dancing around since he seriously considered the possibility of Jason wanting him. Tim shut it down every time he thought about it. He didn't like where his mind wandered.

The mental images he dreamed up would probably make Bruce go into early retirement.

But Tim's heart was beating too fast, now. And his answers were too slow. His only protection was that Jason couldn't see Tim's eyes under his mask. He couldn't see how Tim's gaze kept drifting down ti Jason's lips.

"More of an orchids guy," Tim artfully dodged the real question.

Or maybe, he answered it in his own indirect way.

"Orchids, then." Jason nodded in a way that made Tim wonder if he'd accidentally just shook hands with the devil. "They'll be red just for you, Red Robin." He put force into the way he said Tim's name, looking him up and down. "You look cute in my suit, by the way. But I think you'd get your point across better if you just wrote 'property of Red Hood' on your forehead."

"That is not why I'm Red Robin and you know it-"

Jason cut Tim off by abruptly dropping him, then punching Tim hard in the gut. Tim groaned and doubled over, accidentally resting his head on Jason's shoulder. Before Tim could pull away from the compromising position, Jason grabbed Tim's shoulder and held him there, going in for another punch, this time to Tim's ribs.

It knocked the wind out of Tim's lungs. He gritted his teeth and ignored the groan that broke free from his throat.

"Told you I was keeping the punches," Jason said with utter nonchalance. "If you ask me, fucking you up and fucking you can be the same thing. You're just not thinking big enough."

Tim bit back a swear. "Think I'm a masochist or something?"

Jason dared to laugh. "I know it." He grabbed Tim's jaw with the same hand that was just punching Tim and tilted it up. He leaned down and for a second Tim froze. Instead of a proper kiss though, Jason just brushed his lips against Tim's cheek.

Tim tried to ignore the feeling in his chest that was disturbingly close to disappointment.

"See you around, Red," Jason hummed. Then he let TIm go. "Here's a gift for the road." A short shive was slammed into Tim's hip. Dangerously close to Tim's crotch. As close as Jason could've gotten without cutting Tim's dick off, even.

Tim swore. He grabbed the hilt of the blade and pulled it out. The wound was so shallow he wasn't even sure if it would need stitches. His suit was thick enough to have protected him from the brunt of it. Blood was still trickling out of the wound and sharp pain danced through his veins, reminding him exactly what he'd gotten himself into.

When he looked up, Jason was gone.

The feeling in his chest was definitely disappointment. Tim sighed and slipped Jason's shiv into his belt. He could think about this later.

When Tim got home hours later, he was sore and tired. He went through the motions of stripping his armor, showering, and tending his wounds so robotically that he barely noticed his surroundings. Tim was seconds from faceplanting his bed before he froze.

In the center of Tim's ivory sheets, right on display, was a bundle of red orchids.

Or more appropriately, once-white orchids that were now dripping with crimson shades that had already stained Tim's bedding beyond repair.

When Tim carefully picked the orchids up, they were still with a liquid he knew far too well.

Blood.

A note was tied to the flowers and Tim stared at the sloppy scroll.

hard to find orchids this time of year so I had to improvise. can't say i'm not courting you now. and don't worry, it's not mine. -J

The blood not being Jason's just made Tim more worried about whose it was. Someone who was probably long dead now.

Tim's stomach should've churned over that. He should throw the orchids away. He should get a sample of the blood for a DNA test.

Instead of any of those things, Tim found himself smiling. He carefully carried the orchids over to his kitchen. To preserve them, he put the flowers in his freezer while he thought about how he would handle Jason's inevitable next confrontation. Somehow, Tim found himself humming a love song he didn't know the lyrics to.

If TIm had gotten himself into this game, he wasn't going to let Jason be the only one playing it.

He had punches to throw too.

silly question but what if one of saint vanilla cookie's orchids were consumed?

Listen here. Do not do that. Absolutely not do that. You actually do not want to eat a saint orchid. You know what cyanide is? Don’t eat a saint orchid. Let’s just say that captured Lambs do that if they want to take secrets to the grave.

*carrier pigeon brings you a message*

Hiii :D

Could you draw a kitty surrounded by flowers? I saw one today and I thought of drawing it but then I remembered you are the chosen one for drawing cats. No pressure ofc.

I'd feel overwhelmed with gratitude if you did

*carrier pigeon flies away*

YEEEEEEEEEEEES 🧡🧡🧡!! I simply cannot resist having the chance to draw cats. Coincidentally enough I saw a cat playing in the grass a while back too

If dream and nightmare were to somehow fuse, they'd just generate a new tree

WAIT YOU COOKED

I can't really add on to this because well this is a very self explanatory headcanon but YEAH WAIT THAT'S A GOOD ONE!!!

queen of faithshipping content, i need your 2cents, do you think that babies kissed off-screen in the finale? 🥹

Ok first of all "queen of faithshipping content" is a title I don't think I deserve (yet) but I'll happily take it ^^"

That said. Do u know what u have just unleashed. Listen. Listen.

Obviously they kissed off-screen. Like, I get it, the writers were cowards about the whole thing because it's a strictly genre-defined shonen show aimed at twelve year-old boys, yadda, yadda, but for the love of all that's holy.

Their faces are reflected in each other's fucking eyes. They must be standing so close together I can't.

AND THEN AKI CLOSES HER GODDAMN EYES. WHAT THE FUCK WOULD SHE BE CLOSING HER EYES FOR IF NOT FOR A KISS. You cannot make this shit up.

^ Extremely intimate way to hold hands.

Like. Look. Look. I'm not mandating that everyone needs to ship these two. People have their Yusei ships, people have their Aki ships, live and let live, I occasionally enjoy content shipping these two with other people too. It's literally fine. BUT. As far as the actual show is concerned for me, they are canon. At least as canon as toolshipping, roseknightshipping, treasonshipping, firebirdshipping or what have you, at any rate. And unless the actual, real-life team who wrote, storyboarded, animated, directed, and voice acted the scene above literally comes out of the woodwork to tell me otherwise, it's always going to be a kiss to me. Case closed.

So, did they kiss? Short answer: Yes.

Long answer:

[almightygremlinblob]

Hi hello 👋 I hope you're doing fine! Reading ur headcanons I also agree that sukuna is not a sex crazed beast like it's been commonly accepted lol. Buuuut I think it would also be funny to discuss what his reaction to his first wet dream would be like LMAO. He's probably curious about how someone (whoever he's whipped for) can influence his body like that 😭💀

Oh my LORD

SorrysorryIdodn'tcheckmyinboxthatmuch

Ahem!

⚠️Content Warnings⚠️ Nothing much. Implied sex but other than that it's just pure fluff

I don't think Sukuna's completely clueless about it. Though I do think he's gonna get super frustrated with you. For the same reasons you mentioned, too; you influence him in ways he doesn't like.

At first it's gonna start out affecting him only lightly; when you aren't there he starts to miss you, getting more irritable and just plain depressed if you're gone. Then it's more prominent; he can't concentrate when you're near or if he thinks of you, and if he can't see you he's killing a little more frequently out of anger, might also get a little bitchy with you but if you put your foot down he'll listen. Having a wet dream about you would only make him realize just HOW MUCH of a hold you have on him, without actually having any. It's a lot for him to process, but it ends the same way anyways:

You, in his bed that night and your sleepy smile the first thing he sees when he wakes up the next morning.

In short; mans is whipped for you and he can't handle it.
