hc!friends to lovers

natalie scatorccio x fem!reader

summary: going from friends to lovers with nat

warnings: golden retriever gf x black cat gf dynamic, nat is secretly a softie, drugs and mommy/daddy issues mentions, cursing, pure fluff, not proofread

𖧊 to this day, nat still has no idea on how you two became friends. you were too different

𖧊 it started with you complimenting her makeup once and she was so rude cause she thought you were making fun of her

𖧊 “your eyeliner is so pretty,” you tried to be nice just to receive a “fuck off” and a middle finger right to your face. you were flabbergasted! you were just trying to be nice to a pretty blonde girl and now you were her enemy?

𖧊 your huge smile disappeared in seconds and when nat realized you weren’t mocking her, she got desperate. “oh, shit. you were actually serious?”

𖧊 she was constantly being slutshamed and harassed by the mean students and the idea of being complimented by you didn’t even make it to her head

𖧊 you were too sweet for her taste. too smiley, too happy, too soft and too excited. her words, not mine. but damn, you were pretty

𖧊 not that she would ever tell you that, but being friends with you was better than spending her days alone or with the other two guys she had for friends but were nothing but drug buddies

𖧊 “dude, what the fuck is that?” she grunts at the second you show her one of your favorite songs by backstreet boys “it’s so cheesy!”

𖧊 you held her arms and made her dance with you and she was so embarrassed and tried to brush it off by complaining a lot but her eyes didn’t lie. she kinda enjoyed that

𖧊 then, late at night when she’s unable to sleep, she secretly listen to the too happy and annoying shit type of songs you liked just to think of you :(

𖧊 she eventually found herself enjoying the cranberries, spice girls and lots of your catchy pop or soft songs while doing chores and would never forgive herself for that

𖧊 at first, nat was easily annoyed by you. by your overwhelming enthusiasm and positivity and how you would always see the good in others even if they didn’t deserve

𖧊 however, that didn’t mean you wouldn’t speak up for her. if anyone was caught talking shit about nat, you were always the first one to have her back. “excuse me? hi. that’s my friend you are talking about and you might wanna apologize to her right now!”

𖧊 bless your heart you really tried to be scary like her. at least the intention was there right

𖧊 “i don’t need you to defend me,” she was already snarling at you but you could see in her eyes that she didn’t mean that. she just didn’t like being vulnerable in front of others

𖧊 nat was tough, she could take care of herself. you knew that but you couldn’t let anyone be mean to her

𖧊 “i know, but i care about you!” “yeah, whatever 🙄🙂”

𖧊 and it worked the other way around as well. a single threatening glance of nat was enough to make anyone scared of even saying your name. yes, you were a pain in her ass but she was the only one who could say that

𖧊 “but you just said she was annoying,” her friend kevin defends himself from her scary look. “don’t call her that, asshole”

𖧊 nat couldn’t invite you over to her house trailer so you would usually hang out at your house or secret places she knew

𖧊 nat is a really lonely and independent person and that’s a consequence of her unstable childhood. running away from the mess she had for parents, she eventually discovered a nice small park with pretty trees around and thought it would be the perfect hiding spot

𖧊 smoking with nat? obviously a must. you would give her the old speech saying that it was terrible for her physical and mental health (🤓☝️) even if you were 100% sure that she wasn't listening and was just giving you ironic commments. "you don't say, princess"

𖧊 deep down, very deep down, she appreciated you

𖧊 “kevin told me he caught you listening to backstreet boys yesterday” you smile at her, watching her messy bleached hair cover half of her face as she smokes

𖧊 “fucking kevin,” she mutters under her breath and it’s the perfect opportunity to play around with her. “aren’t you gonna deny it? wow, you must really like me, nat”

𖧊 “shut up, princess.”

𖧊 it was meant to be ironic but since the first time she called you that, you two were sure that it was nothing but a caring nickname and you were a complete sucker for it

𖧊 spending time together became a casual thing and as essential as breathing. that didn’t go unnoticed

𖧊 showing up to support her on a game day or just practice, holding a big sign with her name written with gliter gel pens and smiley faces and cheering so loud that people near you had to cover their ears

𖧊 thanks to that, she was so flustered that couldn't focus on the actual game

𖧊 classically, the yellowjackets would always make fun of her when you were around but especially when you weren’t. “are you happy that your girlfriend came to see you today?” van teases nat and suddenly she became their favorite subject to talk about

𖧊 “she’s not my fucking girlfriend!” she flips them off and storms off to hide how unbelievably red her cheeks were

𖧊 nat didn't take long to realize she felt different about you. but her doing your eyeliner to match her after you insisted didn't help. it was pretty hard to mantain her toughness when you were lying in bed with her on top, straddling you with face so close that you could smell the blunt in her breath

𖧊 "thanks, nat. what do you think?" you ask when she's done

𖧊 "not bad. thanks to me, obviously," she acts casually but she's like 🧍🏼‍♀️😊😮‍💨😵 seeing you with her goth ass makeup

𖧊 being jealous of you near anyone who would say hi to you was also a clear sign

𖧊 going from friends to lovers with nat would be something hard for her at first. she isn't used to trusting people that much. loving someone? what was she thinking?!

𖧊 this means that she would definitely push you away, intentionally or not, and would act weird for days until you finally confronted her

𖧊 and she tries to be rude to make you leave but it doesn’t work. eventually she opens up about her feelings, shaking and at the verge of tears, and you hug her tightly

𖧊 “i like you too, nat”

𖧊 holds your chin when kissing you 😵‍💫

𖧊 jealous girlfriend that was always there to keep an eye on you but wouldn’t say the words “i’m jealous” even if her life depended on it

𖧊 dating nat meant her having part time jobs to save money for weeks just to buy you something nice for your birthday or to take you to a special place in a special occasion. you cried like a baby

𖧊 you were aware that she struggled with money and you weren't rich either, so you kept things discreet. you would come to her with a tape with lots of songs that reminded you of her, "nat, you won't believe what i made you!"

𖧊 “i have no idea, baby..." but she definitely did cause you would do that at least twice a month

𖧊 she would be the first one to say “i love you” accidentally and got so stressed trying to fix her mistake with a cough but you had heard her and was freaking out, smile from ear to ear

𖧊 “you’re a moron, i love you” it took her five seconds to go from 😁 to 😧

𖧊 “i love you too.”

𖧊 when it comes to affection, i feel like she would be hesitant at first, not knowing what to do. having sex with random people was really different from wanting to show her love for you, it was harder

𖧊 realistically, nat wouldn't be the touchy type. she never really experienced affection from her parents (at least not in a long time), so it would be something new, but wouldn't be opposed to it once she realized how comforting it felt

𖧊 100% touch starved. you stroke her cheek once and she's tearing up already

𖧊 pretends to be bothered but always melts completely when you kiss her and loves to hold hands and intertwine fingers

𖧊 not everything was perfect and sharing feelings wasn’t easy for her. either way, you were always there for her, listening to her talk about her shitty parents or just comforting her after a bad day

BONUS!!!

𖧊 if the iconic barbie movie was released in the 90s, you would BEG her to wear pink clothes to go to the movies together and she would deny it every single time

𖧊 “but it would be so cute! we would match 🥺” you insisted, knowing that she was so close to cave in

𖧊 “it’s gonna make me look stupid, i don’t wear pink. quit it, princess,” nat nods, convinced that you would eventually forget about it

𖧊 a week later, nat is found at the movie theater looking like a damn flamingo

𖧊 “what happened to you? met an unicorn on the way here?” shauna mocks her as soon as she sees the blondie wearing a bright pink suit and black boots, matching your same color dress

𖧊 “shut up,” she gives them her middle finger

𖧊 “happy wife, happy life,” tai murmurs and she just nods, defeated. shauna, tai and van, all in pink thanks to your incessant pleas, followed her to get the tickets while you and jackie were excitedly buying snacks and pink popcorn containers shaped like barbie’s car

𖧊 (she definitely cried at the end and you had to kiss her tears away)

ALRIGHT Y'ALL MADE ME DO IT!!!

My unpopular tig/tgg opinions!!

FIRST!

These are MY opinions and i'm allowed to have my own thoughts on certian things, just as you are, okay..? Just wanna..get this out of way, i know everyone is respectful in this fandombut still.

1. this is something that should NOT be an upopular opinion. AVERY IS THE MAIN CHARACTER FOR A REASON. okay? She is a girlboss, and she needs more appretiation, cus literally search up tig on tt rn. Everybody and their cat named Stewie is talking about Grayson and Jameson? WHAT ABOUT MY MG AVERY? And if you see any post about her, it's probably a hate vid about how Avery should've kept the money...SHUT UP. Read what she said carefully..."no one deserves that kind of power.." and then think about it deeply.

2. I DO NOT WANT TIG TO TURN INTO A TV SERIES (or even a movie). i can't name all the reasons 'cus then the the list would be endless. First of all, i know, I JUST KNOW, they'll choose the worst cast ever. And even if they find the most accurate cast for the Hawthorne brother i will still be dissapointed, because the images of them i have in my head...THEY'LL NEVER TOP EM. second of all, they will leave out important moments, just as simple as it sounds, and trust me they will, just like they do with most of the live adaptations of books. Third of all, SHIP WARS!!! I phisically can't with ship war, like I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF EM IN THE PAST WHEN THE BOOKS WERE STILL COMING OUT. And just the thought of Averygrayson shipper saying "yeah Avery and jameson were endgame in the books but they might change it in the movie..." GIVES ME NIGHTMARES. and overall, not everything needs a live adaptation yk? sometimes things just have to stay the way they are.

3. ...this is a bit contrevertial.and i don't want to sound like a hater since i've said this a multiple times before but Rohan's pov was my least favourite in the grandest games. Purely bcs whatever Savannah and Rohan had going on...don't get me wrong, i like Savannah (even tho she did and said some fucked up things) and Rohan, SEPERATLY. But them being together...idk man, they were too..."booktokish" for my liking, yk? and i do love banter and teasing, but they were like basic "i like you but i like winning more" "couple". Not to mention they were so random...like where did they come from? I remember when we first saw Sav and Rohan having the same symbols on their cards i was very excited, i expected a different dynamic between them...PLUS THE WHOLE GAME THEY JUST WANTED TO FUCK💀

4. Hating Alisa Ortega and loving Grayson Hawthorne is CRAZYYY, and i'm saying this bcs they're pretty similar in different ways. And the thing is people are mad at Alisa for "saying mean words to Libby" (she was literally doing her job, you would understand if you were at her place) MEANWHILE GRAYSON LITERALLY THREATENED A HEIRESS! (sayin this as a Gray stan) *sigh* y'all are something else🤦🏻‍♀️.

5. Ohh...this one is risky...BUT CAN Y'ALL STOP ACTING LIKE JAMESON IS BLAMELESS?? all i see is Grayson slander, AND I UNDERSTAND, he fucked up, but saying "Jameson was so much better than Grayson" is a lie, at least for me. (He was better for Avery tho) he fs made mistakes that fandoms chooses to ignore. Like lets not act like treating Avery like a toy wasn't wrong. Lets not act like him blaming Grayson for everything wasn't wrong. Let's not act like him reminding Grayson of Emily's death wasn't wrong. And i know that later on both him and Grayson had a great character development, but still, i've never seen anyone talk about this.

6. This isn't about tig. But LIKING JLBS WORK AND BEING HER FAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GLAZING HER💀 (talking about an argument i had a while ago...) like is it so hard for your brain to understand that it's called having an opinion. Idc if it's JLB or any other author, okay? Like i've read almost every Jlb's books and i love them, AND i also publicly talk about how much iblove her work, does that mean i'm glazing her? UHM NO WTF💀.

7. LET. PEOPLE. HAVE. PREFRENCE. (I'm talking about ships btw) . Someone prefers LyraGray over Averyjameson, and that's okay. Someone loves Averyjameson the most, and that's also okay, someone likes Libbynash more then Xandermax, AND THAT IS ALSO OKAY.

I'll probably do part 2, i have more to say i'm just really tired rn.

Also it's not proof read so sorry if there are many mistakes.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Souma in: Having a Baker S/o

(Char. Involved: Sōma Yukihira, Akira Hayama, Erina Nakiri, Takumi Aldini)

Sōma Yukihira

-Same old Soma tbh

-Sees you as quite the worthy adversary whether or not you're better than he is

-Always the first one to try your dishes

“C’mon! Lemme have a taste, it looks so good!”

-Biggest supporter honestly 

-It doesn't make him any less likely to make you try his gross dishes though

“Oh don't be a scaredy cat, Just one bite!” 

-At least one food war per day honestly

      -Tiring, to say the least

-I'd like to think he has a sweet tooth so you being a baker is like heaven for him

“Everything is here. The cake is cooling in the fridge, The fondant is rolled and properly colored and the frosting is-'' I pause my listing as I realize the frosting isn't where I left it. “Huh?” Did I misplace it or something? “Could've sworn I left it right here.” I blink twice in an attempt to backtrack from when I had it. “Okay, so I remember grabbing the ingredients from the fridge, then setting them right here,” pointing to the counter as I pull a pout. “Then I brought out the stand mixer and began making it. Afterward, I turned away to put the mixer away but when I turned back I still remember seeing it.” I close my eyes in hopes that’ll jog my memory, “Then I ran to my room to get my molding knives and called Soma in to watch the Strawberry puree boiling.” Wait. I called Soma. “I came back and that's when I don't recall seeing it.” That bastard. “SOMA!” I yell throughout the dorm as I dash to his room in a fit of annoyance. As I made my way past several of my roommates, they each gave a fearful expression and made way for me to get by. I clutch the doorknob, slamming the door wide open as I catch the thief red-handed. He had the spoon halfway in his mouth as the frosting was mostly gone, eyes slightly dilating at my entrance. “Oh, Uh...Hey Y/n.” I glare at him, “Why are you eating my frosting.” He looks anywhere but my gaze as he lets out a nervous chuckle, “It looked good so I took a bit and then a bit turned into a spoonful, and well you see what happened.” I sigh, “Whatever, just know you’re making me dinner for the next month for that.” He smirks, “Why say that like it's a bad thing? I love making food for you, Y/n.” My heart warms at his sentiment, “Yeah yeah.” I make my way to close the door but stop just short to peek my head in, “However, do that again and I’ll make sure the only thing you can eat is frosting.” He drops his smile to replace it with worry at my threat, “Yes ma’am.” I close the door and shake my head, too touched to be truly mad. “He thought it was that good?” I let out a breathy laugh on my way back to the kitchen to remake it, “Stop making me want you to come back to steal my food you idiot.” 

Akira Hayama

-Very proud of you 

-However, he isn't very keen on showing it so you’ll have to be patient

-There are some things you add in that even he doesn't sniff out which is probably the only time he’ll get curious and ask about it

“Making something new? What crazy ingredient did you add this time, hm?”

-May act all mean but he is actually very excited when you come to let him try your food

         -Never call him out though, he’ll always deny it

- “This again? Still hard at work trying to perfect it, are you? Fine ill have a taste.”

-Don't let the facade fool you, he’d hate if you asked anyone else to try your food.

       -Can be a bit childish when it comes to that

“Is it too salty?” He smacks his lips a few times, taking in the flavor. “If anything it's a bit lumpy, kinda dry too.” I scrunch my face, “Odd. Could've sworn I kept the heat low enough. Guess I wasn't paying enough attention.” He tilts his head, “The flavors aren't bad though, honestly pretty perfect if you ask me.” I give a small smile, delighted by his praise. “Sorry to drag you all the way here for this Soma.” He gives a low chuckle, “No problem. I'm always down to taste test, especially your amazing food!” I grab the plate with the crumbs of the cake I had recently made and brought it to the sink, “You do not need to flatter me.” He shakes his head, “No flattery needed. You’re talented, nothing to sugar coat y’know.” I wasn't sure how to respond to such blatant compliments so I settled for a small lopsided grin.  “Thanks, that means a lot. Especially coming from the first seat of the council himself.” A light pink brushed his cheeks, “Now whos doing the flattering? It's nothing to brag about. I do have a lot I must improve on.” His ability to grow never ceases to surprise me, “You have quite the determined spirit, it's admirable.” 

“Yeah, I'm sure he's quite the guy.” 

We both turn to the voice that chimed in, “Ah, Akira, how's it going?” Soma inquires with his usual enthusiasm but the albino doesn't share the sentiment. “Fine. What's happening here?” I don't miss his dismissive tone as he turns himself to me. “Soma was just taste-testing a recent cake I was making.” He narrowed his eyes for a moment, “Well how's that going?” He asked but I'm certain he didn't really want the honest answer to that. “Still need some tweaking, but good overall.” He folds his arms, “Well I'm glad he's been of assistance. Now I think thats enough for today, it's getting late.” Its 6:30… Soma chirps up, “Well i gotta head out, needa prepare some stuff for tomorrow's food war, see ya’!” He waves as he leaves the room, and for a split second, you could see a glint of a smirk on Akira’s face.

“You’re such a jealous child.”

“Shut up.”

“You know I'm right.” He pulls me in, pressing a warm kiss to my forehead, “You don't need him to taste your food. I was here y’know.” I rest on his chest, “You never really seemed interested in tasting my food so I asked Soma since he wasn't busy.” He tightens his grip, “Don't do that again. Just come to me and ill give you feedback.” I give a knowing smile but don't comment on his obvious jealousy, “Well ill keep that in mind.”

Erina Nakiri

-A true sweetheart honestly

-Will 100% help you with your sweets and pastries as the loving girlfriend she is

-Baking dates every weekend is a must

 “Quite the variety you have! All this for just one night?”

-Takes a little more time to judge the taste since she does truly enjoy your food and doesn't want to miss any key flavors

       -Has to take a few tastes to actually take it in and not just judge with her god tongue and all that

“Wow, this is well made! The ganache you used brings a beautiful contrast to the moisture from the cake; well done my dear.”

-Basically, her and Hisako's relationship if they were dating; just very doting and sweet entanglement

 -Loves when you surprise her with your treats after/during a long day

      -Simply brightens her whole day

  (might be ooc)

    The kitchen brimmed with anticipation as I stood beside her as she flour-dusted the countertops, and the sweet scent of vanilla permeated the air. Today, she had invited me to step into her world, to experience the artistry she crafted every day.

I watched with admiration as Y/n effortlessly measured ingredients, their hands moving with precision and grace. Their culinary intuition was a marvel, as they expertly combined flavors and textures to create a symphony of tastes. The kitchen became their canvas, and I was fortunate enough to witness the strokes of their pure genius.

With every task that was to assigned me, Y/n’s patience and guidance enveloped me. They encouraged me to embrace the techniques, trust my instincts, and pour love into each step. Their professional expertise blended with unwavering belief in me, ignited a newfound passion within my heart.

As we worked side by side, I absorbed their knowledge like a sponge. They shared secrets and tricks, while their insights lifted my baking skills to new heights. The boundaries between teacher and student blurred, as our connection deepened and our shared love for the craft blossomed.

The oven hummed, the heat embracing our creations with warmth and anticipation. Together, we carefully placed our masterpieces inside, entrusting them to the alchemy of heat and time. The kitchen transformed into a sanctuary of hope and creativity, where dreams and flavors melded together.

As we waited for our creations to bake, Y/n's presence filled the room with an aura of confidence. They smiled,  eyes gleaming with pride and love. At that moment, I knew that this experience was not just about baking—it was a testament to the beautiful bond we shared.

As the aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, we opened the oven with eager anticipation. The sight before us took my breath away—golden perfection, a testament to our collaboration and dedication. With a sense of accomplishment, we adorned our creations with delicate touches, transforming them into edible works of art.

Sitting at the table, forks in hand, we tasted the fruits of our labor. Each bite danced on my taste buds, an orchestra of flavors that sang of our love and shared passion. At that moment, I felt the warmth of Y/n’s presence, the fulfillment of our culinary journey, and the sweet taste of a love nurtured by the joy of creation.

Baking with Y/n was more than an adventure in the kitchen—it was a glimpse into her world, a celebration of her talent, and a reminder of the beautiful bond we shared. Together, we wove a tapestry of flavors and emotions, creating a lasting memory that would forever sweeten our lives.

Takumi Aldini

-A tad competitive 

-Will mellow out when you’re practicing your craft though

-Absolutely will stare hard at you (but do not point that out, he will blush and pout)

“N-No! I wasn't staring. I don't know what you’re talking about.”

-Please make him some, will be fussy if you don't let him have what you made

-Will always give you pointers though so never be afraid to ask

    -Especially loves it when you come up to him to ask; makes him feel all bubbly inside And a bit outside too. (Again, don't point it out. Tsun-Tsun.)

I carefully dusted the final touches of powdered sugar onto the delicate pastries, admiring the golden crust and the perfectly piped cream filling. My heart swelled with pride as I surveyed the display of my creations in the bakery. This was my passion, my art—the result of years of dedication and hard work.

Just as I was about to take a step back to fully appreciate the beauty before me, I felt a pair of arms wrapping around my waist. Takumi, my Italian chef boyfriend, nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.

"Y/n, these look amazing," he murmured, his voice filled with admiration. "But you know, there's something missing."

I turned my head to catch a glimpse of his mischievous smile. "Oh? And what might that be?"

He pouted playfully, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, you see, I've been craving your sweet treats all day. You can't just tempt me with these delectable pastries and not save a few for your beloved Italian chef."

I couldn't help but chuckle at his theatrics. Takumi had a way of tugging at my heartstrings with his charm and infectious enthusiasm for food.

"All right, all right," I relented, unable to resist his request. "I'll save a couple of pastries just for you. But you better be prepared to savor every bite, Takumi."

He grinned triumphantly, his eyes gleaming with delight. "That's what I like to hear, Y/n. You know just how to make me happy."

As I carefully set aside a small box of pastries reserved exclusively for him, I couldn't help but marvel at the power food had to bring us closer. Our shared love for culinary delights was a bond that we cherished—a language of flavors and textures that spoke volumes in our relationship.

And so, with a secret stash of pastries hidden away, I looked forward to the moment when Takumi would indulge in my sweet creations. Because in those moments, as he savored every bite, I knew that our connection was strengthened, and our love for each other grew sweeter, one dessert at a time.

(This is my first writing piece on this platform so it's not the best but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. Never hesitate to make a request and ill make time for it.)

[crowsandturtlesandbatsohmy]

I have to ask, are there any other lil background Noya highlights you’d like to remind me of? I remember the popsicles one it is pure GOLD!

And I know you said you barely scratched the surface with your Noya talks, I excitedly invite you to make this as long as physically possible! Just about really any Noya highlights you have whether it’s background moments, expressions, his lil jumps of joy (!!), his mind blowing receives, his teaching moments, his friendship moments, etc. I want to hear it ALL.

(Also you do not have to make it as long as possible unless you so desire ^-^)

To fuel you:

:D

(Sorry this took a bit, I’ve been working on this ask for the past 3 days when I had time XD)

Oh my gosh for real?? Like seriously as long as possible??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D

Okay you asked for it so I’m not gonna feel bad and you can read it if you want and if not that’s okay too. :)

Oh, there’s so much! I don’t even know where to begin!! I guess I’ll start with the little background moment things and go from there XD

Background Moments

Fair warning, I might not have an episode or season for all of these, but if I do I’ll make sure to include it :)

• Okay so there’s a scene shot from outside the gym, I think focusing on Hinata and Kageyama but I could be wrong, and in the door behind them you can see Tanaka running by with Noya on his shoulders like an airplane.

• There’s another scene where Tanaka just picks Noya up under the arms like he’s a cat and they both have tears streaming down their faces because of (I think) a speech?

• Then there’s this little gem

Honestly I think Noya just likes being tall XD The amount of times he just does handstands off of people is crazy, but it’s also adorable!

• As a background detail, he yells at someone who asks Tsukki “are you gonna eat that” about how Tsukki needs to eat all the food on his plate

• When he had to break down and study so he could go to Tokyo, he and Tanaka can be seen getting tutored by Suga in the club room

• Another little detail— When the second years are all chilling at Tanaka’s house, Noya is in regular clothes instead of his uniform, whereas Ennoshita, Kinoshita, and Narita are still in school clothes.

• As an aside to go along with that, Noya routinely calls Saeko “Saeko-nēsan” and she calls him “Yū” :) Also he typically calls Tanaka “Ryu”

• Honestly his dynamic with the Tanaka siblings as a whole is just so sweet. I also really love when the team is on the bus home and he and Tanaka are shown having fallen asleep on each other.

• At the barbecue in the training camp arc, there’s at least one scene (I think there are more) where all you can see of Noya is the top of his hair XD

• During the season 3 credits Noya is essentially flying

• In episode 2 of season 3, when they start the second set, Noya yells as the whistle blows.

Non-intense but not background moments

• He’s almost always part of the court-side cheering squad and gets really into it

• There’s the scene somewhere in season 1 after Hinata and Kageyama pull off a quick where he gives them both hair ruffles

• At the very beginning of episode 4 from season 3 he gives Tsukki this little grin (which Tsukki doesn’t appreciate, but it’s fine)

• Episode 10 of Season 3, after they win, Noya makes a beeline for Tsukki and tackles him. He gets to Tsukki before even Yamaguchi does!

• Also 3:10, Noya helps Kageyama drag a practically-dead-on-his-feet Hinata over to line up

• He does a double rolling thunder in 4:2 and runs over Tanaka, getting them both yelled at XD

• In 4:5 Noya is running serve drills :)

• In 4:13 and 4:16 Noya is sleeping during the second year gossip-sesh :)

• Also in 4:13 during the planning meeting, Noya and Hinata are sitting next to each other and they both get really excited and Noya gets Tanaka’s shark teeth XD

I’m sure there are more but I can’t remember them off the top of my head right now.

Expression specifics

• This isn’t a specific scene, but a lot of the time he can be seen in the background in “low-quality” mode going either >:c or c: and I think it’s cute

• One of my favorites is in Season 1 episodes 7-8, right after he receives Kageyama’s serve. In episode 7 he’s got a very hot-shot feel to his expression after he receives (combined with the immediately following “low-quality” feral gremlin stance and c:< expression), whereas in episode 8 that same ‘hot-shot’ expression is drawn to be much more mellow and cute, like a >:3

• Ooh! This one is in season 1 episodes 20, and it’s right after the blep. I think his little grin right after receiving the ball is adorable :)

• Then there’s this one

Right after seeing Oikawa’s real serve!

• I didn’t really know where to put this, but expressions and personality aside, I find him cute in general! I think he has pretty eyes and I love his hair, both spiked up and when we get those snippets of hair-down Noya!

Dynamic with Hinata (ft. Tanaka)

So, back in season 1 before they ever got started on the tournaments, we had the whole “senpai” scene. That was probably my biggest turning point as far as my opinion on Noya goes, but there are two more really good little things that stick out to me from that episode. The first is when they’re in the gym and Hinata expresses his desire to be the ace. Noya’s first reaction is “The ace? With your height?” and you can see Hinata visibly deflate and feel discouraged. Immediately after Noya pats him on the shoulder and, with a big grin, says “I like you! You want to be the ace because it’s cool, right? Do it, do it!” The second takes place a little later in the same thing. Noya asks Hinata what his specialty is, and Hinata very quietly replies “decoy.” Noya’s reaction there is to ask “Why do you say it which such a lack of confidence?”. When Hinata replies that it’s because it doesn’t sound cool, Noya says “Who cares how it sounds? If a spiker scored because of you, then your position is just as important.” That part has always stuck with me, both personally, and as a great start to his and Hinata’s dynamic.

Just like Tanaka, Noya very easily falls into that older brother role for Hinata, but a little to the left. I’m not entirely certain how to explain it, but Tanaka seems to take on a more mature and responsible big brother role despite the fact that he’s Tanaka (/affectionate), whereas Noya is more of the enabling type and tends to share a brain cell with Hinata part of the time. Which is incredibly funny to me because Noya and Tanaka act so much alike, and Hinata tends to mimic them, so it’s like they all share a brain cell as a trio. Yet, when you separate the trio into all three duos, they have very different dynamics. Most concise way I can think of to put it— Yachi: “Hinata got into a fight with Kageyama!” Tanaka: *runs over to break up the fight and scolds them* VS Yachi: “Hinata got into a fight with Kageyama!” Noya: “Is he winning?” I love Noya to death but I’m very glad Yachi went and got Tanaka to handle the matter because my gut tells me Noya would not have done a single thing XD For further evidence that Noya’s an enabler, I direct your attention to season 4 when Hinata crashes the training camp. When the gang first gets the news in 4:1, the rest of the team (bar Tanaka, who is laughing his head off) are all like “What the heck Hinata?” And then there’s Noya, who is all proud like “Nice going Shoyo!” And then in 4:2 we’ve got a small scene of Tanaka and Hinata. Tanaka’s reaction is to comment on how much trouble Hinata is in, say “you do suck a lot so at least learn something while you’re there” and then pat him on the back with a “Don’t panic too much.” And then there’s Noya.

Noya zooms over with his arms in the air, shouting Hinata’s name, and he just asks how the camp is going. No comment on how Hinata’s in trouble, shouldn’t have done that, etc. And when Hinata tells him he just gets excited about it with him! It’s endearing but also he really shouldn’t be encouraging this XD And then Hinata comes back from being at the training camp and Noya again runs over with his arms up, shouting Hinata’s name. And when Suga and Tanaka are commiserating over the fact that Kageyama and Hinata started fighting again immediately, Noya is just like “yeah, that’s kinda what they do?” I rest my case. Noya is an enabler and it’s hilarious XD

They tend to think a lot alike! Both communicate through sound effects, they both are extremely bouncy and very loud, they both love Noya’s rolling thunder, and they tend to get excited over the same things. Then there’s also the scene at the end of season 2 where with no words exchanged they simultaneously charge and tackle hug their teammates :) I feel like they’re kind of on a separate brainwave than everyone else, and although their own waves aren’t exact matches they do line up frequently.

Another thing I love, although a small detail, is that Noya gets to use Hinata’s first name and it’s without an honorific. At all. To Noya he’s just “Shoyo” and in return Hinata calls him “Noya-san.”

The other thing I really want to get into with their dynamic is also from Season 4, and it’s the point when Hinata starts really making an effort in receiving. Noya is the first one to pick up on it right as it starts in episode 11. Everybody else thinks it’s a fluke. But Noya knows better. He can tell that Hinata’s positioning was intentional and he’s proud! Then we have episode 14. (By the way Noya’s expressions for this scene are also very adorable). Hinata moves into the path of the ball and we switch from watching him to watching Noya, who’s poking his tongue out of the corner of his mouth and leaning forward in anticipation. And then Hinata correctly positions himself for the receive but doesn’t have his hands/arms in the right place. The reaction of the general population at large is confusion and there are a few mocking him like “use your hands next time!” But then we have Noya, a defensive specialist, for whom something like that would’ve been a piece of cake. And his reaction is to say “Great job getting to the ball, Shoyo!” and look on with a proud little smile. He’s so insanely supportive of Hinata and it feels like he just gets him. And he celebrates the little accomplishments instead of just demanding better. He’s the kind of person I’d want teaching me how to do things, y’know? And I love that he’s that way for Hinata.

Okay, last thing I’m gonna get into:

Traits I Admire

(Note: this next section moves from “here are scenes to check out!” into “this is what makes him so special to me personally”)

• Enthusiasm - Though it’s a trait he shares with Hinata, the scope of their enthusiasm is completely different. Hinata’s is largely volleyball related with little room for anything else. Noya has an enthusiasm for life in general that is just so infectious and inspiring. He wants to do everything, because everything is exciting to him! It’s just so endearing :) When he gets excited about something, you know because he’s bouncy and loud and grinning like a maniac. And I’m the same way and I get really embarrassed about it, so seeing it portrayed in a fictional character I love is just so… validating? Because it’s treated as something good more often than not. There are the occasional comments about how he’s childish, but by and large Haikyu!! treats Noya’s way of expressing his excitement and joy as something that makes him endearing. At least that’s the way it comes off to me. Like you’re supposed to see him and Hinata being all bouncy and loud and just so excited and you’re supposed to go “aww :) look at them.” And that’s so important to me. It reminds me that it’s okay to get excited about things. I don’t have to pretend to be “totally normal about X”, I can be as un-normally excited as I want! The right people will find it endearing.

• Determination - This boy is stubborn in the best way possible, so I’m choosing to call it determination instead of stubbornness. He was determined that he wasn’t playing unless Asahi came back. He was determined while on suspension to keep improving. He was determined to get the hang of Ushijima’s spikes, and determined to learn overhand receives, and he was determined to come out on top against Atsumu when he struggled to receive Atsumu’s serves. To the point that he got disappointed when Atsumu missed and rotated off of serving. There it not a single bone in his body that will let him give up when he’s made up his mind.

• Unabashedly him - He’s so confident in himself and who he is and what he does that he doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. He is Nishinoya Yū, and if you don’t like that, well, that sounds like a you problem, doesn’t it? He’s so confident that he helps other people build their confidence, like Hinata and Asahi! As someone who struggles with self-confidence, I wish I could be more like him in that respect. I wish I felt confident enough to be unashamed of myself, and who I am, and my interests, and the things I don’t like, and all the things that make me, me. It’s easier on here because we’re all weird together, y’know? And being weird is treated as a good thing. Nobody looks at me and goes “you watch anime?” (/derogatory), or “Wow. That’s a violent show.” or “isn’t that for little kids?” or any number of other judgmental things. I don’t feel like I can freely share my interests offline without being judged (bar a few select people who are chill and just go “huh. Okay.”), so I really admire Noya’s ability to go “I am who I am, and if you don’t like that, too bad. Deal with it.”

My favorite characters (and comfort characters) tend to come in one of two types. • The quiet super smart nerdy one who may or may not follow the rules but knows lots of things and is generally a support role but also can and will kick your butt if they so desire. Or • Loud and chaotic comedic relief with one (1) brain cell who also falls into a support role but in a completely different way. Also can and will kick your butt if desired. And for a while I struggled to realize what it was that drew me to the second type, because the first one is more often than not the character I go for in any show. (My comfort character list is not indicative of this because it’s 4/3, but as far as enjoying shows and movies in general? My favorites are almost always the nerds. I like a guy with brains.) They’re the kind I relate to the most. I was always the “smart kid” growing up. Like literally that was my label in my Youth Group. I was the smart kid who was weird and a loner and liked to read for fun and generally faded into the background until lesson time. And outside of Youth Group I was always a perfectionist and I loved learning about all sorts of things. I was quiet. I did well in school. I was ALWAYS reading. To put it in the best way I can think of, I’ve always been a TMNT 2012 Donnie minus the stalker tendencies, and exchanging the fixation on science for a fixation on Batman (or whatever else I’m into at a given time.) But doing some thinking about Nishinoya and why exactly he’s such a comfort character to me has let me realize that I like the second type because they’re all unafraid to take up space and be themselves and live their lives to fullest and love hard and be excited and laugh loudly, even at the risk of other people not liking them or calling them childish. And deep down inside, I want to be that way too.

So I guess in summary, I love Noya so much because his character really speaks to me. He may not have a huge character arc, but he plays right into some of my favorite tropes/archetypes, he’s cute, he’s got a big heart, he inspires me, and he helps me be a bit kinder to myself because if I adore him for who he is, why shouldn’t I also love those traits in myself?

Anyways. That got kinda sappy towards the end but it’s true, so I’m gonna leave it.

TLDR: I love Noya so so so much. He’s an all around good-guy for the most part, he’s adorable, and he’s a big comfort character for me.

Thank you so much for this ask, Moo! I had a lot of fun compiling different scenes and going more in depth about things that make him stand out to me! I could talk about Noya for days an not get tired XD so I really appreciate you letting me get some of all the stuff that’s been in my head out!

ALSO I LOVE THOSE GIFS!!!

[narrators-journal]

How does one delete an ask cuz that’s so embarrassing for me bru😭 MY BAD I didn’t see the ship thing, can you do Illumi/Hisoka car sex THANK YOU and sorry for my dumbass ask ‼️

This is one of the reasons I like kinktober. It gives me fun practice, and I get to write for characters I’m not super experienced with anymore! So, while I don’t ship Hisollumi or am very into hunter x hunter anymore, I still had some fun writing this! I appreciate any ask, so don’t feel bad for making a mistake! and I hope you enjoy this little scenario, I tried to keep them in character lol

CW: An attempt at car sex lol, Illumi's a bit of an asshole

Even to those looking at Illumi’s SUV, it was evident what the assassin was doing. And that was assuming they couldn’t hear Hisoka’s raunchy, porn-volume moaning in the dark parking lot.

But, the assassin wasn’t really bothered with what a passerby saw, or the pink-haired maniac’s noises. The windows were tinted, after all, and he’d made sure that the shadow-filled parking lot they’d settled on for his ‘half of the deal’ was secluded enough that the long haired assassin wouldn’t get caught. So, he let Hisoka yowl like a cat in heat if it got him off faster.

Only focusing on pounding him into the headrest of the pushed back seat. Keeping him in place with a firm hold on his hips, mostly to stop the clown from moving his hips when Illumi didn’t want him to, but also to keep himself from losing balance as the car swayed. “You’re so good at this, Illumi,” the disheveled murderer chuckled breathlessly, moaning loudly to emphasize his point before adding, “We should...do this again sometime~” “No.” Was the simple answer the deadpan assassin gave, adjusting his angle to thrust deeper into Hisoka. Washing away any further attempts to talk. Clawing into the tall man’s hips as he internally pushed down the zip of his own excitement that threatened to mix into his blood.

This is just part of a deal. A payment for help given. Illumi reminded himself, stomping out each and every zing of lust that Hisoka’s loud moans, or the friction of his movements gave. Hisoka is a handsome man, but I refuse to entertain anything anywhere near ‘romantic’ about him. I only enjoy this on a purely stimulation level. Yet, the sight of Hisoka’s colorful hair fallen out of it’s usual, slicked-back style, and seeing the way he clawed into the seat back he laid on undoubtedly tempted the assassin. And, seeing how his body shuddered and squirmed in desperation for more under him, was...Annoying attractive..

However, that thought was waved off. The ebony-haired man had to focus on what he was doing, not what he felt. Feelings were nothing but a hinderance, after all, and this ellicit meet up was a one time thing. I am a Zoldyck, I’ve had sex for favors before. This is nothing but to get Hisoka off my ass. Illumi reiterated to himself, taking a steadying breath when he realized his head was beginning to swim. But, that did little to entirely vanquish the lewd thrill Illumi got from the friction he got from each harsh thrust into the perverted clown’s ass, and the sight of the scars covering Hisoka’s strong back. Revealed when he’d tossed his clothes ahead of them into the trunk area of the car.

The mixture of stimulation couldn’t be denied, at least. Drawing out a few small moans from the assassin when the blissful warmth managed to get to his head. The thrill of sneaking around for this meet up and the sight of a pretty man moaning and whining from the pleasure his harsh thrusts gave slipping out of his hold until his thrusts grew more frantic and uncoordinated. The pleasure slowly seeping through the cold man’s emotionless mask despite his best attempts to quell the swirl of heat under his skin. Only to lose the fight and stutter to a halt buried in Hisoka. Grunting slightly as the pleasure he’d been ignoring washed over him entirely. Soon followed by the pink-haired man’s own dramatic moan at his own climax before a peaceful few moments of silence passed between them. The car stilled, nothing in the air but the scent of sex and the sounds of the duo recollecting themselves. “Well...that was fun.” The clown breathed, grinning back at Illumi as the ebony-haired assassin pulled out of him to clean himself up. “Please get out of my car.” Was the sterile response he got, all signs of lust in the depths of the Zoldyck’s bottomless eyes instantly gone. “How cold!” Hisoka whined, rolling over with a show of his flexibility to lay dramatically on his back atop the pushed-down car seat, making the assassin roll his dark eyes. “I kept my half of our deal, get dressed and get out.” He reiterated, getting a responding eye roll as he moved over in the back seat to pull his pants up.

Getting the message that the fun was over, the clown sat up and found his clothing in the trunk area of the SUV, while Illumi bottled up any stray feelings that escaped his control. They still lingered in the air as his companion got out and fixed the seat while the assassin climbed back into the driver's seat to go home. However, Hisoka did stop him from shutting the door long enough to say in a playful sort of pout, just to mess with the dead-eyed man “How can you be so cold after such a passionate moment? Do you hate me that much?” “I don’t hate you,” Illumi said calmly, “But I held up my end of the bargain, that was it.” The assassin pointed out, making the clown snort, “Ouch, Illumi. Ouch.”

With that, Illumi pulled his door shut and started the car. Leaving Hisoka in the secluded parking lot with barely a glance back to indulge the feelings the murderer had stirred up.

what are your thoughts on milly/wolfwood….. do you think stampede will push it like tri98 did?

good lird. Good Lird. the thoughts and feelings are Complicated bestie 💀 like. taking a step back and looking at it purely objectively, i think 98s milly//wood is cute genuinely. im not personally crazy abt it but i like them both as characters and i do like the moments they gave them

that being said. the absolute whiplash it gave me EVEN W THE ADDED BONDING MOMENTS when it just cut to THEM IN BED. i genuinely cannot overstate it i have had comphet shoved in my face in media for all my 23 years of being alive and it still made my fucking jaw DROP!!!! it genuinely just came completely out of nowhere. and that feeling of it having little foundation only got stronger when i read trimax and they had even less interaction

like. i truly do like both of them i think its a cute ship genuinely. but the way 98 handled it made me so fucking mad fr esp bc like. they handled vashmeryl REALLY WELL imo so like...... girlies what happened... 🫢

as for stampede. i personally dont see them pushing any relationships to be completely on god. like obv we can all hold hands together and talk abt how vash and wolfwood are gonna fuck s2ep1 like intro scene but realistically i cant see it either. at least not overtly. the way theyre constructing the show is very much so focusing more on the severity of the twins polarizing black/white moralities with humans stepping in to provide the more gray perspectives in between, mainly w meryl and wolfwood. so i think season 2s set up for some very interesting character interactions, esp w the introduction of milly confirmed which i am. so excited for

the characters all still have a lot of growing to do as well. i cannot see stampede wolfwood, as closed off and hissy cat he is whenever someone sees past his front, entering an actual serious relationship w anyone. now obv theres a timeskip so maybe season 2s wolfwood will have settled into himself a bit more and act a bit more like the wolfwood were all used to but even then. id be really surprised to see them pushing any romantically charged relationship, esp between wolfwood and a character being introduced this season

* OH MY FUCKING GOD NO YOU KIDNAPPED REBAAAAAAA

* What are we doing back at the house? WHY HAVE YOU KIDNAPPED HER?

* STOP TELLING HER TO SHUT UP!

* UUGHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS BUT HATE THIS I JUST WANT REBA TO BE WELL BUT THAT WONT HAPPEN

I promise, Reba is going to be okay.. well, physically. She is going to live, she'll just need some therapy.

What I love about Fredick in this episode is I piss myself laughing whenever I watch that scene of him and Will discrediting Dolarhyde and Raul's face-acting when Francis is crawling towards him makes me cackle, because I've got a warped sense of humour. But right at the end, despite Fredick being, well, a dick, I do kind of feel bad for him. But the fact he didn't realize he was being used is a testament to just how stupid our boy Fredick is. Side-note, that was REALLY cool makeup!

Adaptation-wise it was a really cool twist because in the book it's Freddy Lounds but because that character's been genderswapped in this show and Bryan didn't want to put his Freddie in that kind of situation, which does have sexual undertones (remember Bryan had a very strict "no rape storylines" policy which is greatly appreciated), he was like "...well let's use our other Fred!"

The fucking *lip slurp* is just comedy gold! "That could've been your lip I was tasting... again" ooohhhh where's Bella when you need her??

But yes... now we come to the ending... *le sigh*

Rewatching Dimension Jump and wow, its so fascinating to see Ace's arrival for two reasons now.

1) While Ace is more successful and lusted after, he's still not very secure in his sexuality. He keeps playing up how macho he is and making references to not 'being a sissy.' He's still a repressed version of Rimmer and thats so fascinating to me, since you'd think he would have gotten more secure in his sexuality considering.

2) Rimmer immediately starts insinuating Ace is queer in multiple (obviously degrading) ways because he feels threatened by him. But considering Ace is, well, him, it makes the situation all the more telling. And Kryten confronts him on this, but doesn't get to finish pointing this out to him, which I think is such a shame.

As a bonus, its even more funny to me that Ace immediately becomes best friends with Lister. Like, I want a fic where Lister tries to get with Ace to make Rimmer jealous, only to find Ace is just as repressed as Rimmer.

Ace and Rimmer are both so similar. Yeah, Rimmer is extremely bitter and insecure, but Ace is just as insecure. He just swung the other direction to complete selflessness.

He has no concept of care for his own well being. Hell, Lister mentions he's fuckin up for 36 hours with a broken arm (which he still hasn't taken care of), fresh off of Cats surgery, and he's teaching Kryten to play the piano.

This man wants so terribly to be liked and loved he will never put his own happiness first. Everyone else comes first. Yeah, he may be a 'hero,' but at what cost?

My #1 post of 2022

Okay I'm gonna make this it's own post cause it's important.

Good Omens, WWDITS, and OFMD are all queer rep. But I really do think the main reason why ofmd feels the most 'real' for some people is it scratches a particular itch a lot of people on Tumblr have been trying to get for years.

Good Omens has two characters who appear to be men. Both characters spend thousands of years pining after each other and falling in love, but it's not 'explicitly states' not is there a kiss. There is rep for nonbinary folks, AroAce folks, but it's not 'gay.' The rep is purely 'queer.'

What We Do in the Shadows has a romance between two men. Both, while confirmed to be gay/bi, have not kissed or hugged or been 'romantic' on screen. They've been intimate and have had arcs to show care, jealously, and whatnot but nothing very romantic. At least, not from a classic standpoint. The creators are pushing a 'will they/won't they' arc. This is normal in many TV shows, but for many queers who are used to queerbaiting, the expectation is to be let down. Even if all the signs point to 'they will' it still hits that traumatic 'queerbaiting' tone for many.

Our Flag Means Death has a romance between not only two men, but a side romance between two men that has a kiss scene. The two main leads are romantic towards each other. But not only that, the creator has made it explicitly clear this is a romance. He has pushed again and again that this will happen, it's just a slow burn. There is explicit 'gay' rep on screen and promised future 'gay' rep.

The reason ofmd resonates is because of what other posts have pointed out. Supernatural, Merlin, Sherlock; over and over two men have been shipped together with such fervor, it feels like a betrayal when it's ignored. Or teased and then ignored. We don't want to be traumatized again.

But also, they all represent one type of rep. Romantic, gay rep of two cishet men finding love. Even though in the case of Destiel, Cas is rarely viewed as anything but a cis man (even though that's very not true). The expectation that those previous failures are being redeemed by this one show can make the queer rep in other shows seem less desirable.

Good Omens, WWDITS, and OFMD are three different types of queer rep, but ofmd has a specific trauma reaction being healed tied to it. And it's okay to recognize that, but also, it needs to be recognized that does not take the queerness away from other shows.

None of these shows are queerbaiting. Acknowledge your trauma and enjoy them all for what they are, not what you want them to be.

Calling on Dragons

by Patricia C. Wrede

Basic Info

Personal Info

Dates Read: 8/18/24-9/5/24 Read or Listened to?: Listened to How many times have I read this book before?: 1

Plot Summary (Spoiler Free)

King Mendenbar's enchanted sword gets stolen by wizards. It's up to Morwen the witch, Queen Cimorene, the King of the dragons, and a magician to get it back.

Full spoiler review under the cut!

Overall Look

Why I Chose to Read This Book: Like book two, I read this book primarily because it's the next book in this series. This is the last of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles books that I've read before, so I'm excited to be starting the fourth book, which I've never gotten to read! I also bought the Book of Enchantments, which is an anthology piece with stories from the Enchanted Forest universe. Not sure when I'll get to that one, but it's on my shelf!

Overall Impression (Beginning, Middle, End): When I first started listening to this book, I was very pleased to discover that this story is told from Morwen's perspective. Morwen has been a bit of a favorite side character for me, and I was very happy to see that she got her own story. But then the shenanigans started. Early on, we meet an eight (?) foot tall talking rabbit named Killer. I'll discuss him extensively in my designated "complain about the book section", but for now I'll leave it at "I hate this character and he almost entirely ruins this book for me." The central quest for this book was a bit dull for me, and overall, I feel like very little happens in this book. I'll say I thought this book was okay, purely based on the fact that all of my favorite characters get to go on this quest. Still, a lot of it fell flat for me.

Plot Notes:

Character Notes: Morwen: - Bio: Morwen is a witch who lives in the Enchanted Forest with her nine cats. She is considered an "improper" witch by her fellow witches, but doesn't allow that to deter her from going about her business as she sees fit. I suppose she's the protagonist of this story, but only because it's told from her perspective and thus we spend the most amount of time with her. - How I Feel About Her: I love Morwen. Despite my complaints for this installment, I really feel like it rounded out my love for her character. Or at least, the idea of her character. We know almost nothing of her backstory, and she doesn't have any particular character flaws. She just sort of is. And I suppose that's good enough for me, but I wish we could have gotten a little more.

Cimorene: - Bio: Cimorene is the new queen of the Enchanted Forest. She's pregnant in this book, but she doesn't let that stop her from going on a dangerous quest. She's the same as she was in the last book. - How I Feel About Her: Honestly, I keep forgetting she was even in this book. I think she was primarily slapped into this story to make the book more appealing to fans of the others. I still like her well enough in this story, but there are a lot of characters that go on this quest and I feel like she gets a little lost again amongst our bigger players. I also feel so bad for her. She really ends up being a sort of tragic character in this book, I think. Mostly just because of what happens to Mendenbar. I haven't gotten very far in Talking to Dragons, so I still have hope for her, but thinking about how this story ends for her always makes me so sad.

Telemain: - Bio: Telemain is a magician with a huge interest in all things magic. Not only does he study magic, he also performs magic. He helps our band of heroes teleport throughout the land in an attempt to get to the King's Sword before it's too late. - How I Feel About Him: I really like Telemain, actually. His voice actor is the same as last time, and he does the same vocal quirks and inflections. Only this time, it's throughout the whole book. I still don't know whether I love it or hate it, but it certainly adds to his character. But everyone is still super mean to him :( Let this man infodump about magic.

Killer: - Bio: Killer is a regular rabbit who ate some enchanted clover and grew to be eight feet tall. And then he ate something else (I cannot be fucked to look up what it is) and turned into a donkey. And he's hungry all the time, and he keeps eating the wrong things to make him more and more enchanted. His top personality traits are hungry, cowardly, and annoying. This does not change at any point in the book. - How I Feel About Him: I hate this character so much. I think the fact that I listened to the audiobook made this worse, but I'm sure he would have been my least favorite character regardless. The voice actor understood the assignment that this character was annoying as hell, and proceeded to make him more annoying. No hate to the voice actor, but oh my god. The donkey voice actually killed me--like, in a bad way. It jumpscared me every time, and I frequently had thoughts of turning the story off and just reading the book silently in an attempt to escape that voice. I'm having traumatic flashbacks just writing this. Killer is not only completely useless to the story, he inhibits the progress of the team and acts like a whiny idiot the entire time. I think the only useful thing he does in this book is eat the invisible strangling vines to save Cimorene, but even then he bothers the hell out of me. Also he gets a fakeout death? I was cheering when he got stabbed or shot or whatever, but I also figured he wouldn't die anyways since I know this isn't that kind of book. Still, Wrede would have been so goated for killing him right then and there, I might have given this book five stars if she'd had the balls to do that. But no, he gets his own happy ending or whatever. Rant over.

Kazul: - Bio: Kazul is the King of the dragons. She's capable of eating anyone who gets in her way, and will not hesitate to (unless one of her friends politely suggests otherwise). She's very cordial, although sometimes a bit grumpy. She briefly accompanies the group on their quest. - How I Feel About Her: Honestly, I feel like Kazul is underutilized in this series. She's such a cool character to me! She's what this whole series is supposed to be about! She's one of the dragons Cimorene has to "deal" with, she's the dragon Cimorene goes searching for, she's the dragon Cimorene calls upon. In the next book, Cimorene will probably, at some point, talk to Kazul as well. But, just like almost everyone else, we don't really know anything about her. Just a few (entertaining) personality traits. I really want to love Kazul, but I just feel like she's so brushed to the side.

Zemenar: - Bio: Zemenar is the head of the Society of Wizards. He is sort of a co-villain in this book. - How I Feel About Him: Same as always. I guess I liked that he teams up with Vamist rather than just having a generic gang of wizards and/or his annoying son (which I've never even brought up in one of these reviews before because he's so useless (he's supposed to be useless and it is funny, but not that funny)). He also dies in this book, which I wouldn't even really care about either way whatsoever except it sets up the "tragedy" at the end of the book and it's just frustrating to me.

The Cats: - Bio: Morwen has nine cats, each with their own unique personalities and gimmicks. Two of these cats, Trouble and Scorn, go on the quest with Morwen and friends. - How I Feel About Them: I like the addition of the cats in this book, as well as the fact that Morwen (and us, the readers, by extension) can understand them. I actually appreciated the way the cats were portrayed (I am a cat person, for context). I feel like in most media, cats and cat characters are automatically portrayed as aloof, haughty, arrogant, and vain. While some of these are based in truth, my cats are generally very loving and cuddly. Cats are independent creatures, but I feel they get a bad wrap by dog people and general perpetuated cultural/social ideas. All this to say, Wrede keeps from doing this with these cats. Sure, they all have their personalities (obnoxious, rude, southern, fat, sleepy), and they all do have a slight tendency to act haughty, but they all have a deep love and respect for Morwen. I honestly would have had a much better time if, rather than having Killer and two of her cats come on the quest, maybe five of Morwen's cats could have come and Killer could have just not existed. I don't know, the cats were fun for me. I liked most of the scenes with the cats.

Mendenbar: - Bio: Mendenbar is the King of the Enchanted Forest and Cimorene's husband. - How I Feel About Him: He's really not in this book. I liked him well enough in the last book, though, and he seems to be a good husband to Cimorene. Sucks what happened to him, though.

Arona Michaelear Grinogion Vamist: - Bio: Vamist is a petty guy (I think he's literally just some guy) who likes to go after people for not being traditional. He goes after Morwen for being an unconventional witch, as well as a few other minor characters. It also turns out that he's hiding King Mendenbar's sword at his house. - How I Feel About Him: Nothing, really. He's just annoying to be annoying, and a villain to be a villain (and perhaps an attempt to switch up the villain plots a little bit so it's not just wizards all the time). Anyway, I mostly put him on here because I think his name is funny and I wanted to type that out. Also it was funny that they put all of Killer's spells onto him at the end as punishment for being bigoted.

What I Liked/What Worked: I really liked that we got to see more of Morwen in this story. I like her character and I was happy to see more of things from her perspective and learn a little more about her day to day life. I also liked her cats. Telemain is in this book a lot more than the last one, where he was introduced. And I like Telemain.

What I Didn't Like/What Didn't Work: I'm just not a huge fan of this book. So far, it's my least favorite installment. I just feel like so little actually happens in this book. And that would be okay if we got to spend more time with our characters, but most of it is just back and forth or going from point A to point B to point C. I know this book was mostly intended to set up the next and final book, but I still feel like this one just misses the mark. I think what I would have liked to have seen with this book is maybe having Morwen, Cimorene, and Kazul all go together on this quest, and no one else. No annoying donkey, no Telemain (sorry, my guy), just the three gal pals this series started us off with. I think that would have been a much more streamlined story with plenty of time for Cimorene and Kazul as well as expanding upon the relationships between each of these characters. The other glaring issue I have with this book is the character, Killer. I've already whined about this enough so I'll spare you, but I really want to stress how much I hate him. I guess I can also talk about the ending. Mendenbar being frozen in the castle for the next sixteen years is really sad to me. Cimorene is such a good character, it pains me that she didn't get her happy ending. Mendenbar won't get to be a father, and Daystar will have to grow up without him. As someone who lost my father at a young age, this kind of story always upsets me. It's an interesting set up for the next book, but I was really upset that it had to happen to Cimorene and Mendenbar.

The Theme(s) or Message(s) of This Book: Kind of a rehash of the first book; don't let anyone else tell you how to live your life.

The Feelings This Book Evoked In Me: Joy, annoyance, sadness, frustration.

Listening Experience: Eh. The full cast audio is as good as always, aside from the (perhaps overacted) performance from the guy who played Killer. He really was very loud and annoying, which, again, was the point, but my point still stands. Also Telemain had those vocal quirks again. It's fine every once and a while, but I feel like his voice actor maybe overdoes it. I love the idea, it fits his character, just maybe tone it down sometimes.

Final Notes

Favorite Parts/Quotes/Passages: I loved the first chapter where we're introduced to Morwen and her cats, as well as her little chat with the other witch. I also liked the part where they transfer all of Killer's enchantments and curses onto Vamist.

Enjoyability: 4/10

Would I Ever Reread This Book?: No, probably not. Not unless I'm reading these books to my future kids. Unless the fourth book is good, I'd probably just rather reread the first book and maybe the second if I'm feeling extra spicy. This one just feels sort of skippable to me. Cimorene is pregnant, Mendenbar gets frozen, their son has to be the one to save him once he comes of age; that's all you really need to know. Oh, also Morwen is cool.

Do I Recommend This Book?: Sure. I think if you're wanting to read the whole series, it's worth it, but if you just want to read books one and two, you'd probably be just as well off. Again, still have to finish book four to see if all of this was worth it. Oh, and maybe don't listen to the audiobook. Try to read it if you can.

Overall Rating: 6/10

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁ Equestria dr rambling ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊

This was legit my first dr when I found out about shifting officially. I had imagined myself in this world so often prior to that, making ocs, reading fics, watching videos. I just have so much love for Equestria and I just know that love will grow so much bigger when I finally get there. Or rather when I become aware that I’m there.

In my primary Equestria dr, everything is a more stylized look than canon. I’ll draw our what everyone looks like when I can. Every pony is so pretty and absolutely radiant! Especially Rarity of course. She has a diamond horn, similar to the amethyst horn Twilight has. My own horn is shimmering gold, and in my dr all unicorns have metallic or crystallized horns to focus our magics.

Speaking of Twilight- we used to be classmates back in Celestia’s school! We weren’t very close, but we were both sort of stand outs of the class. Her because she just had so much raw magic and poor social skills. And me because I was a more foreign student (half Saddle Arabian), so we found common ground being the odd ones out. She was so happy to see me again when I moved to Ponyville. I knew she became a princess, and I couldn’t be more proud of my old friend. I’m helping her write her biography these days, recording her adventures and what lead her to her princess title. I imagine it’ll be very inspiring to many ponies.

I can’t wait to be cozied up in my cottage too. It’s fairly close to Fluttershy’s place! We get together at least once a week for tea, and so she can play with my lovely cat, Rumpleteazer! Fluttershy makes the *best* tea I’ve ever had. She also absolutely grows the best weed and I will not take questions. If you have a chance to have cannabis tea, I highly recommend. But my cottage is absolutely perfect for me. Everything is soft and warm, and everypony feels welcomed and loved. It’s a safe space for ponies that need a moment away from the world.

Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom come by pretty often too. They like to hear about my life back in Manehattan and what Canterlot is like (where I grew up). One day I’ll take them for a trip and give their sisters (and Rainbowdash) a break haha! They’re good fillies, teenagers in my dr. I know they’ll be incredible mares one day with so much drive to better the world.

And then there’s the ***princesses***. Practically goddesses in their own rights. And yet, so “human”. They love, they fight, they play, they dream for the future and the ponies they care for. I love them so much.

Princess Celestia, the radiant sun, is a wonderful leader and benevolent. She’s a patron of the arts and education, and it was her guidance that lead me to writing. It’s such a treat for her to come to my book signings! It’s honestly so silly to see her towering over the rest of the ponies, but patiently waiting in line for her turn like everypony else.

Princess Luna, the whispering moon, has really come into her own since returning to the throne. The events with Nightmare Moon did take place, but she has since recovered for the most part. She tends to ponies in their dreams, seeking out those that need her guidance and comforts. She is so beautiful. I hope to become her friend.

As for Princess Cadence, the embodiment of love, what’s not to *love*? She greatly enjoys my writings, and actually sends me letters now and again about what she’s read and her thoughts on it. Fan mail is maybe a good way of putting in. She was excited to meet me when Twilight introduced us, and we spent hours talking about nonsense! She’s such a good queen to the Crystal Empire, and Shining Armor is an equally good king. He’s still such a lovey dork and I know many ponies that are envious of such a pure love.

(Apologies. No picture this week)

I saw the beautiful Siamese again this week. Her nearly pure white coat gleamed distinctly against the bark of the tree she was sitting under. It is for this reason that I've decided to call her Winter. She was loitering around the same house she normally did and I didn’t believe it was her at first. It was an unbelievably frigid morning that day and the cold nipped at whatever bare skin it could get a hold of. As I walked, the cold unforgivingly ate away at my face and eventually, I noticed little flakes of snow beginning to fall. Seeing the first snow of the season filled me with both joy and dread. I've never been a fan of the low winter temperatures but the idea of gingerbread and tree lights warmed my heart. I was so distracted by the sudden snow flurry, that I’m surprised I even noticed her. She certainly noticed me though, and had been staring at me intently as I walked by. 

We stood there for a minute staring at each other under the cold grey sky. It was a standoff, but I was unarmed. I didn’t bring any treats with me and my bag lay forgotten on the floor of my closet. Afraid, Winter leaped across the frost-covered ground and hid under my neighbor's porch again. Here was my chance. I ran back home. I was so excited that I failed to realize that I didn’t have a plan. Nevertheless, I grabbed the cage and some treats, got my neighbor’s permission, and set up a makeshift trap next to their porch. It wasn’t a very good one but I had to try. 

I waited in the cold snacking on some sweet bread I had packed for breakfast. After about 30 minutes I noticed a little head peek out from behind my neighbor's house. It wasn’t Winter. It was another cat that I've named Oreo. I have seen him around the neighborhood before and he wasted no time entering the cage and eating up all the bait I left for the Siamese. I wanted to shoo him away but I knew he was hungry so I waited until he got his fill. I walked up to the cage hoping there was still some bait left. Alas, he had eaten it all, and checking under the porch revealed that Winter had already left ages ago. 

I picked up the cage and left defeated but determined. I haven’t given up yet. Where would this world be if all of the best conservationists gave up on their goals? I’m sure Greta Thunberg felt defeated at times and if she could get through the barrage of negativity she experienced so could I. At least now I know Winter hasn’t gone far. I’m purchasing a humane cat trap. I’ll check it every day in the hopes that maybe I can spare both her and Oreo from the rapidly approaching winter.

I feel bad for what everyone else is cooking up for Lu Woh over there, but I think I understand

He's very bullyable, so everyone wants to bully him into submission and that includes sexually

Fediel meanwhile is very open and hot, so people want her to sit on their faces (It's me, I'm people)

Orologia is our parent so we're not dragging them into this mess, Ewiyar is a cat and Wamdus is a child, so at least we still have standards despite being horny.

Galleon, tbh, I don't know. She's great but not really my type. Her gimmick is funny and I appreciate the kissies, but while fanservice-y in design she's not as obviously sexual and doesn't trigger that primal instinct to bully

And Wilnas is almost too obvious. I'm not knocking him, I definitely wouldn't turn him down if he wanted to get nasty, he's very attractive and very nice. He's a himbo and an obvious service top, you ask him for something and he does his best to deliver, despite being very stupid. But he'd do his best, always, and you gotta love that for him. He's always giving it his 169%

Lu Woh is really Going Through over here in the Belial realm. in Icha's gardens we don't let it go this far but holy shit.

But yeah i definitely understand the appeals. he looks like a prideful person so it makes sense people are compelled to knock him down a peg (or peg him down idk man). And i think it's something also with Tsundere with the idea that, since they don't say what they mean, maybe if pushed to an extreme they will be forced to be honest eventually yaknow?

For Fediel yeah, exactly, i think she's too in control of her sexuality and more assertive so people just want to be her thing rather than wanting to humble her in some way

likewise though, i can't imagine Orologia in any sexy stuff, they're too parentshaped for that, and yeah, not dragging Ewiyar or Wamdus into any type of sexy conversations either. Standards, and also why would you. I'll add that even if Ewiyar wasn't a cat, Ewiyar is too in love with Ewiyar to even accept anyone else i believe. Just leave her be man.

Galleon is a weird one for me because i definitely think she's meant to be extremely sexy and all, she doesn't do it for me. There's a sort of mix with her of vulnerability and shyness, while also having open affections, so she can definitely hit some boxes here, but she's definitely not my type. I did see lots of porn of her though and i think people really are into the demure and shy look for a sexy body and the kissies and stuff. Idk personally she gives me big sister, or even motherly vibes at times, that i can't see it.

and for Wilnas he's the one that works his charms the most on me in the whole gang actually so, yeah. Gotta love a pure himbo. This is definitely a type of "you're so fucking stupid *removes clothes as we speak*". But yeah you're right, he'd genuinely be a service top and would just do anything he can to please you and he'd be so excited about it, and eventually would just go overboard because he's so determined to please. Those aren't bad things to have in a character.

He's def more made for this. I think him and Fediel are really the ones who are the most designed to make u go goo gaga. I'm not receptive to Fediel but i sure am to Wilnas, so what can i say. played like a cheap kazoo.

but yeah i mean. I've seen dragon porn but what i can really see from it is that Lu Woh is getting It with people intending to leave him Ruined by the experience. So it's. a sight! to behold!

Lu Woh really unhinge people to a whole different level huh!

Disney Channel Original Movie Ranking! #2: High School Musical 2

Okay. I was 12-13 when this movie came out. Prime target demographic. I was literally having a watch party with my friends in one of their houses and as soon as it started we were all squealing. That’s probably the only time I have ever been this excited for a DCOM to come out. Then why is it number 2 on my list and not 1?

I’m sure you can figure out by now what my number 1 is. And when we get to that I’ll explain why. But #2 in a list of 110 DCOMs. Like, that’s still one of the best DCOMs ever.

The HSM franchise changed everything for Disney channel. This franchise is the reason why we have had so many musical movies and probably even contributed to the comeback of Disney movie musicals. Everyone wants to be HSM and capitalize on the success it had. But none have prevailed (I would say the Descendants franchise came very close). And I think part of the reason is that simply HSM did it first.

Okay let’s talk about this movie specifically. It’s just pure fun. The stakes are not incredibly high, but it is important for Troy to think about college and his future career. And Sharpay is significantly involved more in this which I love. Actually I find in a lot of reviews I see people defending Sharpay because she is actually helping him get scholarships for school and is helping him network and make really good connections. And to that I say, okay but for what purpose? It’s not like she has a genuine interest of helping him with nothing in it for her. It’s all about intent. And the fact that Troy doesn’t even know if he wants to play college basketball yet she is pressuring and pressuring him. Gabriella just wants to have a fun summer with her boyfriend, as it would probably be the last before everything gets super busy with college admissions. I’m not saying that trying to network and apply for scholarships for college is a bad thing, but you gotta figure out what you want to do first, or at least have an idea, and have other people respect that and not try to manipulate you.

Anyway, all the musical numbers are SIGNIFICANTLY better in the 2nd one than the first. I dont dance, bet on it, what time is it, ughhh take me back to summer of 2007!!! Life was so simpleee!!

The only thing is I wish that Gabriella had an arc in this movie. It’s mostly Troy’s story. But i guess there wasn’t room to add anything else in. I mean the movie is like almost 2 hours, which is super long for a DCOM to begin with. Unless you remove the Hawaiian musical number with Sharpay, Ryan and Troy. It’s a cute number, and I’d be lying if I didn’t sing to this in the car or on my CD player. But it should have been left out of the movie like in the first cut.

I mean what else can I say? I’m not saying the HSM movies are the greatest movies of all time, but my god, there’s a reason why HSM as a franchise is so successful. The chemistry among the entire cast is straight fire, the music is spectacular, and the story is simple yet relatable. All the other musical movies that followed these two just seemed like copy cats to me.

going to a haunted house with the tr characters!!

a/n: I’m hoping this one won’t be my last Halloween thing but it just might be😭

word count: 3.2k+

characters: Mikey, Draken, Baji, Chifuyu, Mitsuya, Yuzuha, Wakasa, and you!!

tw: curing!

Mikey actually doesn’t handle haunted houses well

 Mikey in a haunted house is a horrible, horrible idea

 It was pure hell from the moment you entered the house…

 At first when you were waiting in line, Mikey was absolutely fine

 He was just sitting around with you, complaining…pretty much the usual stuff

 “It’s so colddd!! Why’d you bring me here in the cold??”, the blond boy complained

 “I’m sure being cold will be the least of your worries soon…”, you said, smirking

 “Huh…?”

 Yeahh, you were excited to see Mikey’s reaction to the haunted house, to say the least

 You had never seen your boyfriend get terrified in that way before, and it was something you really wanted to see

 Thankfully, you got what you wanted

 Because right as you walked into the house, you were given a jump scare off the bat

 And let’s just say Mikey did not handle that well…

 “WHAT IN THE MOTHER FUCKING HELL JUST HAPPENED!!!!”

 “AHHHH!!!! YOU’VE GOT TO BE SHITTING MY PANTS!!! THAT SCARED THE HELL ME!!!”

 If only he knew that was only the beginning…

 People ended up jumping out at the both of you left and right, Mikey jumping back and screaming in response

 There were even a few times where he kicked a few things, giving them a good amount of damage

 And throughout this whole thing, you were watching him, shocked, because you really didn’t expect him to react that way

 Hell, you felt bad for Mikey because he was so terrified

 In fact, he started clinging onto you, refusing to let you even move out of his arms

 “Don’t you leave me!!”, he yelled, as you tried to pull away from his iron tight grasp.

 “I just need to grab some water from the bag Mikey…”

 “Grab it later!!”

 You tried comforting him, being sure to hug him to let him know that you were there, but even that can only help so much

 It was a bad situation to say the least

 Even then, things somehow managed to get even worse…

 As you guys were walking the given path, the sound of chainsaw’s suddenly revved up, making the blonde make slightly jump

 But it was whenever he saw the chainsaw guy chasing after him, that he lost it

 He was screaming and running for his life, dragging you with him.

 He was jumping around and all

 It was like watching a cat get chased by a vacuum

 And while your boyfriends reaction would’ve been amusing to you, his pure terror made you very concerned for him

 Especially when he complained about his chest hurting

 You were truly afraid he was going to have a heart attack

 Thankfully, the chainsaw part was the last part of the house, and you were able to leave after that mess

 And after sitting down with him, giving him some water, and giving him some of his favorite foods, Mikey finally calmed down

 Although, he was still clinging to you

 At the end of the day, you ended up cuddling with Mikey for the rest of the night, and watched some super light-hearted show to hopefully lull him to sleep

 Thankfully it did, and Mikey was able to sleep and recover from the experience well

 And you vowed to never, ever take Mikey in one of those houses again

 It was way, way, way to traumatizing for him…and you were scared for his health…

Draken is a puncher…

 Draken may not have a problem with the scary movies, but when he encounters the horrifying stuff in the movies in real life, it’s a whole different story…

 Waiting in line was, as usual, fine

 He was just chilling, being his usual self, not expecting much

 In fact, he even let you stay behind him so you could hopefully feel semi-protected from the scary stuff

 Hell, he even let you grip onto him as tight as you wanted because the anticipation of what was going to happen in the house was freaking you out so much

 And you definitely did not get what you expected…

 Because as you entered the maze, an actor jump scared the both of you, and not only did Draken yell

 But he also almost punched the actor

 Thankfully he stopped himself, but still, he was freaked our

 Sweat was running down his face as he breathed rapidly to help calm himself down

 And that was only the beginning of it

 With each thing that freaked him out he would yell out pretty loudly out of shock, and punch it

 He pretty much broke everything in his path

 The poor people behind you had no jump scares at all because your boyfriend was knocking all the actors out and breaking everything

 And because of that, you weren’t scared of anything

 Well, it’s not like their was anything left that would actually scare you…they were all gone now

 But you were just amused at Draken’s reaction to everything

 “Oh dear, I didn’t know the big bad Ken Ryuuji would become so terrified of a machine”, you teased

 “Y‘know, you can go fuck yourself”, Draken said, giving you a harsh glare

 What he didn’t know about the whole time you were taking pictures and videos of the whole thing for black mail

 After all, it wasn’t like you were going to get another opportunity like this…

 So, you continued to do your thing and Draken continued shit himself

 It was a good combination in your opinion

 In the end, you both managed to make it out of the maze without getting kicked out

 Mainly because Draken was really quite, and the people that were directly behind you were probably too scared to say anything

 That and the fact that Draken wasn’t so freaked out that he was loosing his mind, so he could control himself to a certain extent

 But when things jumped right in his face, he punched them because it’s pretty much his first instinctive thing to do

 So he punched….a lot

 And Draken, was very pissed at you for taking him through the house

 He pretty much gave you the silent treatment for the rest of the night

 And he ended up telling you he would never do anything like that ever again

 It’d be over his dead body if he did

 But little did he know that you’d be taking him on a very special date next year…

 One that included the haunted house…

Baji absolutely hates them with a passion.

 Oh god, you should’ve never taken him to the haunted house.

 It was absolute hell for both him and you

 When you were waiting in line, it wasn’t so bad

 He was just being his usual cocky self

 “I can’t wait to see you loose your shit in there!! I’m totally gonna laugh my ass off the whole night!!”

 But the moment you entered the house, Baji’s cockiness went out the window and hell started

 Because the moment the man entered the house, he immediately shoved a terrified version of you in front of him

 He was practically using you as shield

 In fact, he accidentally shoved you into a few things, making you hit your head off stuff

 Not only that, but he was really loud too

 He screamed into your ear more than once…really, really loudly

 You pretty much had ringing ears from that

 But somehow, in someway, things got even worse

 As you continued to got through the house, things naturally got scary, and Baji lost his mind even more

 But at some point Baji’s defensive mode became an offensive mode

 And the male shoved you behind him and began hitting the actors

 At first it was more of quick thing where he’d do a motion similar to punching them, but would never actually hit them

 His goal was to get scary things away from the both of you

 But eventually the final straw happened

 And that final straw was when an animatronic suddenly scared the crap out of him and he reacted…

 By punching it…really hard

 As a result, the animatronic broke but, thankfully it still worked, barely though

 And your boyfriend had hurt hands

 But after he snapped that once he lost it…and started punching the actual actors, knocking them right out

 They just kept coming and he kept giving them a hard punch after punch

 Eventually security got called in, and they dragged you both out of the house

 The situation ended up becoming such a huge mess that you both got banned from the house

 But that was probably for the best…you didn’t want to experience that again and neither did Baji

 And you both agreed to never do anything like that ever again

Chifuyu is pretty much the most terrified person to ever walk into a haunted house

 Chifuyu didn’t even handle a scary movie well, let alone the haunted house

 But some members of the first division pretty much dragged the both of you to an annual haunted house thing

 And Chifuyu couldn’t say no to them

 Of course, Chifuyu put up a brave face and acted like he wasn’t freaked out by the house whatsoever

 But that brave front sure didn’t last long

 Because as he went into the haunted house, he lost his shit

 Not to mention the first jump scare, when he immediately jumped into your arms because of his pure terror

 The poor boy, every time an actor would jump right into his face he scream and lean further into your touch

 Really, you were the only one keeping him sane

 But what made the situation even worse was when you lost your shit

 You were okay at first, only jumping or flinching at really loud sounds

 But like Mikey, it was when you encountered the chainsaw guy that you lost it…

 Because he not only chased the hell out of you, practically giving you a heart attack, but he chased Chifuyu too

 Poor Chifuyu just froze when he saw the guy running towards you both, but you ran for it, and the guy followed you

 It wasn’t until you tripped and fell onto the floor that he stopped chasing you and started chasing someone else

 But by the time he stopped, you were already so freaked out that you were crying

 Thankfully, a terrified Chifuyu eventually caught back up to you, and pulled you in his arms

 And it was in his arms that you stayed for the rest of the night

 You and Chifuyu held each other and when a jump scare or actor came at you, and you screamed and cried together

 You’d hold him when he got scared, and he’d hold you

 Even after the maze, you guys refused to let each other go, still completely traumatized

 In fact, you ended up sleeping like that and it wasn’t until the next day that you and Chifuyu had calmed enough to let each other go

 In the end, the situation was a purely traumatizing situation that scared both you and Chifuyu

 Unfortunately, you also had nightmares of that chainsaw guy, and you ended up going to therapy for it…

 The situation was an overall, traumatizing, horrible, situation that was not to ever be spoken of

Mitsuya is really calm throughout the whole thing!

 Mitsuya doesn’t really go to anything that’s scary like a haunted house, mainly because of his little sisters

 But, thankfully you managed to clear his schedule on Halloween, and took him to a haunted house

 And you were really excited to see his reaction to everything…

 But, you didn’t really get what you wanted

 At first, when you were waiting in line, Mitsuya was fine, acting like he does every single day

 If anything, he was being a gentleman and bought you some nice hot chocolate because of the cold night

 But that kindness didn’t last long…

 When you actually went into the maze, you were immediately greeted with a really creepy clown actor, who scared the crap out of you

 Unfortunately when the clown scared you, you dropped your hot chocolate all over the floor, making you pretty upset

 And Mitsuya just laughed at you, purely amused

 “Wow Y/n, I didn’t know you’d get so freaked out by that!!”

 “Shut up”, you grumbled before continuing through the house

 And that’s pretty much what the whole house was like

 Mitsuya stayed pretty calm, only flinching and yelling a couple times, while you screamed at everything

 And then Mitsuya would laugh at you

 It wasn’t really a fun experience for you, mainly because you almost shat yourself

 But Mitsuya enjoyed himself

 Of course, if you got too scared, the male would comfort you and give you a sweet hug

 But any other time, he would tease the hell out of you

 And by the time you finished the house, Mitsuya was crying from laughter, you were pretty much on the verge of slapping him

 Thankfully before you lost it, Mitsuya bought you your favorite warm drink and bought you a nice warmed up cookie to make it up to you

 And you forgave him, only under the condition that he had to cuddle with you later

 Unfortunately for you, the time in the haunted house was something that stuck with you forever, as there were some pictures and Mitsuya loved teasing you about it every Halloween

 And he also told a lot of stories about that fateful night

 It was truly something that was never forgotten

Yuzuha is certainly not the Yuzuha you know in a haunted house…

 Scary things like haunted houses really aren’t Yuzuha’s thing

 She was simply, never really interested in them

 But, she was curious enough that when you asked her out on a date to a haunted house, she was eagerly said yes

 And so, you headed into the haunted house

 At first glance, Yuzuha really didn’t see what was so scary about the house

 But when she actually entered the house, her view changed immediately

 Because the moment you both walked in, someone came out and scared the crap out of both you and her

 You, were laughing at the exhilaration of the jump scare, but Yuzuha just kinda stood there shocked, before following you deeper into the haunted house

 And jump scare after jump scare really started freaking Yuzuha out

 While you where still laughing and enjoying yourself, Yuzuha’s previously silent self became no longer silent…

 And she became a whole different person

 Poor Yuzuha started to curse out everything and anything that would scare her, purely from shock and fear

 In fact, she started to unintentionally insult the actors

 She even started to laugh like a manic at everything that even semi-scared her

 It was a truly horrifying sight

 To be honest, you were pretty sure she scared most of the actors off from her laugh and the sadistic look in her eyes

 The poor girl pretty much went crazy

 But some how, everything got even worse when she started to kick the actors…

 Thankfully, she didn’t knock them out but they still got a hard kick in the face and were pretty hurt

 And at that point, security was called in and you both were dragged out of the haunted house

 You and Yuzuha both were also banned from ever coming back there again

 And so, the both of you were left with nothing to do

 “What do we do now??”, you questioned Yuzuha, who was angry at the guards for roughly dragging you both out of there

 “I don’t know”

 “Wanna get ice cream?”

 And so, the both of you went out and grabbed some good ice cream besides heading back and watching movies

 The night turned out to be great because of that

 And you both decided to never go back to a haunted house again

 In your opinion it wasn’t worth it

 Because Yuzuha became the dark version of herself that night

 And you were scared of that…

Wakasa honestly wouldn’t care until someone came up right behind

 Wakasa is a pretty calm guy in general, so these types of thing don’t really get to him

 He may flinch here and there, but that’s about it

 Not only that, but he takes pride in his calmness…so when you asked him to get behind you, he agreed without a problem

 Hell, as the both of you were making your way through the maze, he was laughing when you got scared of something

 Of course, he comforted you as well and held onto your shoulder and rubbed them in attempts to comfort you

 This, of course helped you

 But there was period when Wakasa was so focused on you, that everyone around you noticed it

 “Waka’s obsessed it’s Y/n!!!!”, Benkei said, teasing your boyfriend

 “Shut the fuck up”, Wakasa shot in response, you only laughing at the pairs now bickering

 But while that was happening, Wakasa’s attention was now on you and Benkei, and not on anything in the haunted house

 And one of the actors quickly noticed that and decided to take the opportunity they saw

 So, they went up right behind him, and tapped on his shoulder, only for Wakasa to turn around and come face-to-face with a creepy clown

 And Wakasa flipped out

 “AHHHHHH!!!!!!!”, Wakasa yelled, quickly backing away from the actor.

 The poor guy was tripping over everything as he desperately tried to get away the creepy actor

 And his screaming lasted for a good while, because the actor shocked him so much

 But when he snapped out of his terrified, shocked trance, he retaliated

 And he whacked the clown with a hard kick in the neck, effectively knocking the clown out

 Everyone else, including you, just stood there looking at the knocked out clown and the panting, stressed Wakasa

 And then the all of you continued on your normal merry ways, acting like nothing had happened at all

 Of course there were a few jump scares here and there as you continued through the house, but everything was fine

 Well…everything was fine with everyone expect Wakasa

 He just didn’t react to anything and just followed you around

 Even when you finished the maze, Wakasa decided to just take a seat and sat wide-eyed at nothing

 He was clearly traumatized…and was probably trying to absorb what happened in the house

 In fact, he ended up doing that same thing for the rest of the night and only went back to normal the next day

 After that, you pretty much decided to not go back to one of those houses again

 After-all, the place might give your boyfriend a heart attack…

 And he, agreed

 In fact, the male refused to bring it up at all

 And now, the words “haunted house” were banned in your house

//end!!

I already sent something and I don't wanna spam you but this just came to me: sun/moon messing with readers hair and doing all sorts of stuff like braiding it and making it fancy...since I worked with kids who loved to play with it, I'd figure sun/moon would be the same!

full masterlist | my FNAF masterlist

likes and reblogs are very much appreciated, thank you! :)

you didn't specify whether you wanted it romantic or platonic, so i did it romantically (as i often write romantic FNAF x reader). that aside, this was really fun to write! just pure fluff ^.^

TW: none. however, usage of 'beautiful', 'pretty' and 'gorgeous' as a term of endearment. reader has long hair (shoulder length or longer) for this piece. adult, gender-neutral reader total words: 2456 *(Y/N) - Your Name They/He pronouns used for Sun/Moon!

Like Royalty

- after the Daycare closes for the day, your animatronic lovers have a tendency to cuddle with you as a form of downtime. for today however, they seem to have other plans in mind <3

"Goodbye, little friend! See you again soon!" Sun waves excitedly to a child, watching them walk away with their parent. It was closing time for Superstar Daycare, the Daycare Attendant's least favourite part of the day. Sun hated saying their goodbyes to the children, as inevitable as it was. Despite the love for children being coded into their being, Sun knew that their love for them was more than that. It was only at times like these was when Sun wondered if they would be able to have something more, a forever playmate of sorts.

Then, you stumbled into their life. Clumsy yet beautiful, you had stolen Sun's attention from the moment they saw you. Being recruited into the Pizzaplex as a new animatronic handler was a last minute decision on your side, especially since you had just lost your previous job. Money was tight and you needed to be able to sustain not only yourself, but your cat as well. It was almost a sign from fate that a hiring flyer from the Pizzaplex had landed on your balcony.

Only being familiar with the basics of robotics, you knew practically nothing when it came to animatronics. Yet with Sun's warm and encouraging personality, they made your transition into working as a handler go smoothly. Well, as smooth as things could be. Past their friendly façade, was an animatronic filled with separation anxiety and erratic mood swings. It was things like these that ultimately caused their past handlers to quit, claiming that they were 'too much'.

Not for you.

They were your responsibilities. You still remembered the day that Sun had confronted you, telling you that it was okay if you quit over him; that it was okay if you left. You had firmly told him that you would not abandon him as easily and that you truly cared for him. Like a cartoon character, Sun flung themselves at you and chanted praises about how kind you were to them, that you were an angel for not leaving. They only became more open to you about their feelings as time passed, and you took the effort to work through their problems with them, step-by-step.

Once Sun felt that they trusted you fully, they felt that it was time that you met their mirror image, their counterpart. Moon was temporarily out-of-function beforehand, something about a 'virus being in their system' when you had first started working. Even naptime was taken out of the daily schedule for the first few weeks. While Moon was unable to take control of the body, they were conscious the entire time. They could hear each and every word you had told Sun, as well as Sun's inner screams about how adorable you were to them.

Slowly but surely, Moon had grown to accept your presence despite not having the chance to meet you yet. They took your advice meant for Sun to heart as well, using it to calm themselves down whenever they felt overwhelmed.

Inevitably, the first meeting came around. Moon still remembers the memory vividly. They saw the excitement in your features - The way your eyes shone brightly despite the dark room, the way your face held the biggest yet dorkiest grin ever, and the way you swayed nervously in place before asking if you could give them a hug. Moon could only awkwardly nod, taken aback by your giddiness over meeting them. Not one person had been like that beforehand. Most often the people they encountered were looking for Sun, not them.

They wanted to be upset, to push you away and tell you that it was not wise to be close to them. That you were better off spending time with their counterpart instead. Yet while they stayed in your arms, relishing in your warm embrace, they could not find the courage to do so. How could they push you away? Moon felt their chest physically constrict when they heard you ask Sun to tell you more about their likes and dislikes.

Moon had wondered then, was it selfish of them to want this? To want your attention and affection? It made them felt good, something that they have not experienced in years.

This confusion in their systems was what led both Daycare Attendants to have a discussion, an overdue heart-to-heart with each other. Both learnt that they felt the same way about you, that it was not only Sun that felt the tightening of their chest every time you smiled at them, or that it was not only Moon that craved more physical attention from you. Yes, they adored your hugs. But they found themselves wanting more - They wanted to hold hands with you, to be able to lovingly nuzzle their features on yours, like most of the couples they could only watch with envy in the Pizzaplex.

After a quick maintenance check up, Sun had brought up the issue to the technician. The technician only giggled with a proud smile, ruffling Sun's rays like how a mother would with her child's hair. "You're all grown up!" They said with a sigh. Sun's confused response only made the technician laugh. "You're in love, Sunny-boy." Was the only response they gave before promptly leaving to check on the Glamrocks.

Love?

Love was something that was often discussed by the children in the Daycare. Both Sun and Moon themselves were only familiar with the meaning of familial love. None of them were ready for the implications of romantic love, as well as the meaning of heartache when they noticed a staff member taking your attention away from them. They were not ready to handle jealousy at all, choosing to kick out the staff member before keeping you in an embrace at all times whenever other staff members would enter the Daycare. They feared that you could easily be taken away from them.

But regardless of their confusing actions, you never held any anger or malice towards them. Still you smiled at them, gave them hugs and encouraged them when they were feeling overwhelmed at the end of the day. You were there through it all.

It was only then Sun and Moon had finally come to terms with their feelings. They realised that they wanted to be with you each and every step of the way, to be the reason for your smile everyday and to be there for you when you cried. Like a little child, Sun wanted to tell you about their feelings immediately. Unlike Moon, who kept calm and reserved. And so they waited and waited, looking for the perfect moment to tell you.

When both of them had finally confessed, you only laughed and placed a soft kiss on their faceplate. You held them close, telling them that you had an inkling about their feelings for the past week. You told them that you returned their feelings, that you loved them. Sun swore that their metaphorical heart had jumped out of their chest then, evidently excited from your response. Moon was bashful, preferring to keep their face hidden away from you as steam exited through their joints.

When they had finally gathered the courage to ask for a kiss, the aspect that Sun was so excited for, the feeling of your soft lips against their own was enough to make them malfunction. Their body fell limp in your grasp, only to reboot a minute later. It remains an inside joke between you and them to this day.

"Was that the last child?" You asked, appearing around the corner as you wiped paint off your hands. Sun nods before slumping forward. Had their face been as flexible as the Glamrocks, you knew they would have been frowning. "I already miss the children, my star.." They complained lightly.

You giggled and took their hand, guiding them away from the Daycare's exit. You felt Sun wrap their arms around your torso, their fingers lightly tapping in a rhythm on your clothes. "Tired?" You asked. Sun sighs as they nuzzled their faceplate against your neck. "A little,"

"Do you want to cuddle first before cleaning up? Maybe a little rest could help," You mused lightly, a smile on your lips. You knew Sun preferred to clean first before any downtime activities like cuddling, but your suggestion seemed like what they needed for today. They nod, allowing you to guide them towards the plush beanbags that sat behind the play-structures.

Sun purrs loudly like a housecat under your calming touches. You used a damp rag to wipe down their rays as they laid on your lap. If they could close their eyes, Sun would have already had their eyes rolled back in utter bliss. You hummed and proceeded to wipe down their arms and torso, a laugh eliciting when you noticed Sun shifting under you. It seems that even animatronics could not escape the ticklish sensations.

The domesticity of this downtime activity between you and your lovers was something they cherished. As they were the ones looking after children in the daytime, they adored the feeling of being the one being looked after in return. Despite not being in control of the body, Moon could feel each and every sensation, especially enjoying the way little flicks of electricity would run through their body with every loving caress you gave them as you wiped.

When you finished, Sun sat up. Their rays perked up firmly, a feature you had come to learn that they did when they had an idea. Instead of coddling you into their arms as they usually did, they immediately ran into the storage room without any prior warning. You could only watch with confusion before they emerged again, a hairbrush and ribbons held in their hands.

The lights had shut off that very moment, Moon surfacing with ease within the next minute. Red irises stared down at you, "Hellooo, my planet." They held their Os, drawling out the word for dramatic effect. You smiled at them, "Hello, darling. Care to explain why Sun suddenly ran off?"

Moon's confident stance falters for a second. They were still not used to the loving nicknames you had for them, still slow to accept that you were truly their partner now. That the things they longed to do with you were now able to become a reality. Moon recollects themselves, showing you the materials that Sun had gathered.

"Sunny and I think that we should take care of you tonight,"

"Oh?" You tilted your head with a smirk. "How do you propose that?" Moon hums, settling on the beanbag you were on. They put their hands on your shoulders, gently tilting you to face the other direction as they shifted to sit behind you. "Just relax," They whispered softly, a hand in your hair to pull the hair tie away. "We'll make you look prettyprettypretty,"

"Are you calling me ugly- HEY!" You quipped, only to squeal when Moon pressed their cold faceplace on the back of your neck, nuzzling you gently. "You're always gorgeous to us," Moon responds as they began to run the hairbrush through your hair.

Being quite literally programmed to handle children, both Sun and Moon were experts at handling hair. They knew how to do all sorts of styles, ranging from braids to even fixing small mistakes when the occasional frisky child happened to chop off a lock of their own hair. It was almost as if they had magic hands, their loving touches being soothing enough to send you into a slumber.

Moon shakes you awake, a chuckle emitting from their voicebox as you stared at him with bleary vision. "Had a nice nap?" They asked. You yawned and pinched their cheek, "Yes, since someone had hands made of magic," Moon only leans into your touch, growling lightly at your teasing words. You knew his growls were of jest. Leaning up to peck their forehead, you asked if they were finished with your hair.

Moon nods and pulls back, motioning to the ceiling. "The lights will turn on in a minute, but I promise that you look very gorgeous. Just don't let Sunny ruin the hairdo over their excitement," You giggled and raised an eyebrow curiously when you noticed Moon freeze momentarily. Moon sighed. "Sunny says that he promises not to ruin it."

"You better keep your word, Sunny." You laughed and embraced Moon once more. "Hairdo or not, thank you for taking care of me. It felt really nice," Moon purrs under your touch, their cooling fans whirring to life. "No need to say thank you, love. You always take care of us, so we should return the favour as well."

"Getting better with the nicknames, I see." You mused. "Besides, me looking after you isn't a favour. I do it because I want to, I care about you both."

Moon hears the generators whirring to life. The Daycare was about to be bathed in light within the next moment. "Thank you." He says simply before capturing your lips with his own. When you opened your eyes, Sun had resurfaced and was smiling brightly down at you. Sun pulls back, letting out a dramatic 'MWAH!'. "Hello, my star! You look absolutely beautiful!"

Sun guides you over to the mirror near the Daycare's restroom, clapping delightedly to themselves as they watched your face light up. Moon was a creative genius - They took the time to meticulously braid ribbons in his and Sun's colours into a lock of your hair; it flowing down your left shoulder. Moon decided to keep it simple, the rest of your hair cascaded down your back in an elegant braid. You twirled the lock of hair around a finger. "Do you like it!? I had the idea for a lovelock!" Sun asks excitedly, gazing at their idea that came to life.

You smiled, "It's beautiful, Sunny. Moon was very creative for using ribbons since you both do not have hair," Sun sways on the balls of their feet, listening attentively to Moon's response. "Moony says that you flatter him too much!" You waved a hand, "Nonsense! I feel like royalty from this hairstyle alone!"

"Both Moony and I agree that you only deserve the very best, our love! We just love you so much~!" Sun exclaims happily and swoops down, engulfing you into a warm hug. You squealed at the sudden contact and returned the embrace. You kissed their forehead once more, a smile etching itself on your face when you heard the deep purrs from your lover. It seemed louder this time, it was probably due to Moon as well. "I love you too, always."

Sun giggles like a lovesick teenager at your words before deciding to cover your face in their kisses.
