#bb!Sho

[kalira]

Starting my Day 20 @whumptober story. . . (It's not the next one chronologically that I have yet to write but oh well, there were . . . Feelings. @penguinmusings, I hope it hits well with your excitement for a first heat story? ;))

Also, me less than a week ago like 'I'm stressed and upset and I have a snuggly Moon Child omegaverse thought, maybe I'll write it and comfort myself a bit'; me now, this is my third one in progress and at least a couple specific other thoughts waiting to be written. >.>

I opened the door, my muse went HEYO back to omegaverse, the comfort AU from recent years!

Moon Child omegaverse Kei & bb!Sho feels below the cut, because. . .

. . .yes hello have we discussed my love for platonic omegaverse recently? And also my soft spot for mentor comforting bb through the rough spots of a first heat or similar? *ahem*

Kei shook off the lingering remnants of sleep and sat up, finding Sho looking sweaty and flushed and miserable beside him. He sniffled and whined, eyes glossy. ‟Kei. . . Kei I don’t feel good.” Sho said in a tiny voice - and though it struck like a needle to Kei’s heart, it was also a comfort to hear it; it had taken months before the first time Sho had expressed something so simple to Kei. ‟Please. . .” ‟I’m sure you don’t.” Kei said with regret, lips twisting. ‟I’m sorry, little one.” ‟Kei. . .” Sho whined thinly and pressed against him, face tucked to his shoulder, and Kei opened his arm for him only to be surprised as Sho nudged in closer, climbing into his lap. He startled, and he must have tensed, because Sho froze, whimpering a question. Kei rumbled soothingly and resettled himself, wrapping his arms around Sho and tucking him close. It had to be his first; Kei had been with the kids for more than a year and had never caught so much as a whiff of a heat before. At this, it was early, Kei thought with regret. Sho was so young still. Kei kissed his temple, rocking him as he whimpered again, though he had relaxed into Kei’s embrace. He rubbed his face against Kei’s collarbone and neck, making him shiver. Kei ran his fingers through Sho’s tousled hair, clawing through old memories; it had been a very long time since it had been even faintly relevant to Kei to know how to handle a heat, and he’d never been close to an omega this young going through their first. He sighed, rubbing his face, and propped his chin on top of Sho’s head.

City Pigeons - Part 10

WC: 817, Masterpost

Jason sighed as the tablet in his hands flashed with alerts. “You shouldn’t be here.”

“How did the meeting with Black Bat go?” Bruce asked instead of responding, because of course he did.

“You know it went fine,” Jason said, trying not to snap. “Besides, everyone likes her, there was a good chance it was always going to go fine.”

“We both know trauma isn’t always that easy,” Bruce said, his tone carefully modulated to be gentle. It rankled Jason, like it always did.

Jason took a breath and let his chin drop to his chest for a moment. Bruce didn’t mean it like that. He knew that now. This was Bruce trying as best as he was able— it wasn’t just another mask. Bruce just had to put effort into emotions that made it seem forced. Jason pushed away his flair of temper; it was harder to do than he’d like after too much worry and too little sleep.

“Ja—”

“I’m fine. It’s just like you said, trauma isn’t always that easy. I’m fine,” Jason said as he waved the concern away. “And names. You know we’re sticking to code names still.”

Bruce tilted his head, observing Jason through the white lenses. (That used to rankle too.)

“You thinking there’s a chance he’ll run.”

Jason sighed. He gave an exaggerated shrug to cover the worry that ran through him at the question. “Not run, exactly. I think he doesn’t believe that he can stay— that it’s even on the table. I think that we’re his last hope and he doesn’t believe in hope anymore.”

Bruce didn’t move. Jason gave him time to think that over.

“That’s why he doesn’t want to see… Wayne,” Bruce said, slowly, like he was feeling the idea out. “He doesn’t expect to get anything from him so it’s better to be healed up first.”

Jason shrugged again.

“Figure so. But also once that meeting happens, whatever happens, then all of this,” Jason motioned to the safe house, “is over as far as he knows. If he puts off the meeting, he puts off the risk of losing the first safety that I think he’s hand in a long, long time.”

Bruce’s shoulders hunched and he almost blended back into the shadows by the window. “If he’s already posed for it to go badly…”

“B, that’s not your fault,” Jason said— had to say. “The kid’s been through hell, maybe by his own family, of course he’s going to expect the worst.”

It was a long moment and then Bruce nodded, just once. “What’s the plan?”

If Jason really had his way, the plan would be to deal with all these ill feelings, but that’s not what anyone in the family was good at, him included. It would be what it would be.

“We’ll have BB over again for a meal tomorrow. I’m sure it will keep going well and she can help be on watch that night. We think it’s best to give that a few days before we introduce O or anyone else new, so you have to keep the rest of the horde reigned in,” Jason said pointedly. Then a though occurred to him. “Where is the little spawn anyways?”

“He’s on the roof across the block.”

“Yeah, is he? Because that was a lot of alerts—”

“Hood!”

Jason didn’t think before he was striding across the room towards Danny’s room. The kid was standing in the door. White hair stark in the low light. Green eyes bright.

Glowing.

Wide with fear.

“Danny?”

“Someone else is here,” Danny said. His voice was almost too quiet to hear, but Jason could half swear he felt it in his very bones. Danny reached out and clung onto the sleeve of Jason’s hoodie. A cold settled into Jason’s bones along with the vibration of the soft words. “Someone touched by death. Can you feel them too? They’re not not like us. They haven’t died. They haven’t died, but they reek of death. Hood, what are they?”

“Hey, it’s okay. You’re safe here, remember?” Jason assured Danny automatically. The words rolled out of his mouth without Jason having to even think about them, which was good, because Jason’s mind was still caught on Danny’s words: They’re not like us. They haven’t died. “Some Bats just stopped by to check on us.”

Was it Bruce? Did all of Gotham’s death cling to his shoulders like his cape?

Was it Damian? Was it the stench of the Pits?

Or did Jason miss something else slipping in with all of the other alarms.

“We’ll go check on Nightwing together, alright? I bet he has a little red and black guest who slipped in,” Jason said. He twisted his hand to hold Danny’s. The cold bit at his skin. He didn’t let go.

He hoped he was right.

He had a hard time believing in hope too.

shoto with a gf who's a bit of a menace, she's like the female denki of the class, funny etc, but she always respects him and his private persona, knowing to not draw a lotta attention to them and knowing when to be serious and sweet when he needs it cause god knows how much bb boy has been through :/

yes poor bb boy, he just needs someone who’ll ease his mind off everything !!

shoto noticed the way you laughed with your friends when you all sat in the lounge room and how much more your personality shined with them, but he also noticed how much calmer you were around him.

whenever your classmates got curious about your relationship, you made sure it remained private. you both agreed on the “private but not secret” relationship as respect towards shoto. of course he wanted to show you off, but he’d much rather keep you to himself. “so what’s shoto like, yn?” mina asked as she propped her elbows on the dining table, turning her head to look at you.

only you knew what shoto was like. “he’s sweet and kind, respects me a lot.” you replied, covering your mouth as you chewed your dinner. you made sure not to give them too many details, quickly switching the subject towards mina and kirishima. you began teasing her, asking her questions on her relationship that would make her face flourish.

you continued talking with your friends until you noticed shoto walking towards you, he noticed you had finished eating and wanted to take you away for himself. you looked up at him from your seat as he bent down to your ear. “can i take you away now?” you responded with a nod, he grabbed your plate and discarded it as you said goodnight to your friends.

you followed him to your dorm, you were rambling to him about your friends and what upcoming events they wanted to attend. you closed your door behind you as you continued talking about your friends, shoto turned around to look at you. you paused, he had a soft smile on his face. “what’s wrong sh-“ he cupped your cheek with his left hand, the cold feeling making you slightly flinch. he pulled you in for a kiss, a slow soft kiss.

he had been thinking about kissing you all day and now he finally got to. “nothing’s wrong, i just wanted to have you to myself. is that fine?” he kissed your cheek as you nodded, replying with a low hum. you were shoto’s safe space, he felt at ease with you, which is why he in love with you in the first place. you were there to reassure him when he needed, and to comfort him throughout his trauma.

your nights consisted of just listening to gentle music while he napped on your lap, your hand moving his red and white strands away from his eyes. shoto liked the quiet, even more with you. you were reading a book while you caressed his hair when you heard your phone going off, shoto slowly waking up. “shh .. it’s okay sho” you muted your notifications as you tried not to wake him, unfortunately he yawned a turned over. “is everything alright, yn?” you set your book down beside you, giving him a small peck on his temple. “yes ‘m sorry my love, go back go sleep.” he let out a low hum as he turned over, kissing your thigh as he fell back asleep.

nights like this were enough for him, all he needed was to be with you.

my first time writing shoto, i hope u liked it! it was sm fun writing his gentle personality, possibly more sho in the future?? )^o^(

♡ MINORS DO NOT INTERACT ♡

NSFW Ghoul Headcanon: Spit or Swallow

Writing the Sho/Subaru fic got me thinking 😈

Details under the cut :3

Frostheim

Jin - 100% a spitter and he'll spit it on you

Tohma - Swallow, but somehow it's strategic, like he's doing it to see how his partner reacts

Luca - At first a spitter, but then he tries swallowing once and now he'll never go back

Kaito - tries to swallow, gags

Vagastrom

Alan - spits, but god damn is it hot when he does

Leo - would be a swallower but prefers it on his face

Sho - 50/50, depends on who. Leo? Spits because it pisses Leo off. Subaru? Swallow every time.

Jabberwock

Haru - Depends on context, usually a swallower, but if he's feeling petty about something Tagia did? He's absolutely spitting it on Taiga

Towa - the guy eats flowers, he absolutely swallows

Ren - spits, the texture grosses him out

Sinostra

Taiga - if you'd let him near there with those teeth, he'll make a big show of swallowing for you

Romeo - HDY you think you've earned that BB? Think again. He spits, but licks his lips when you're not looking

Ritsu - Swallows, spitting risks getting something on his books that have been open on the bed the whole time.

Obscuary

Ed - swallows. the man's a vampire, he doesn't care what the fluid is.

Rui - wants to swallow SO bad. If he could touch anyone and get that far, he'd swallow like he was starving (he is)

Lyca - spits because it tastes funny

Hotarubi

Subaru - swallows to be polite, but brushes his teeth immediately after

Haku - swallowing pro, but not before he makes a show of it coating his tongue and letting it string from the roof of his mouth

Zenji - would spit, probably has a semen allergy so his throat would swell if he swallows and then he couldn't serenade you after

Mortkranken

Yuri - spits so he can analyze it after

Jiro - swallows but doesn't realize he does. It was just a reflex

[the-fandom-is-now-my-life]

Because I think I might get around writing for most of the men at some point for the future au I wanted to see or already arrange how many kids they would have

Jin would have two kids in complete accident, he was very happy by his father's discontent at his heir's lack of kids but things happened, the person who celebrated them the most was the grampa. Maybe two boys or a boy and a baby girl.

Thoma screams girl dad, doesn't he? Just imagine him braiding her hair for evening tea and being a menace to any boys she brings home with Alan if they break her heart, he is still a delinquent at heart.

For Luca I'm split between wanting him to have two boys to mirror him and his brother or a spoiled girl he plays knight for, sigh, such a hard decision...

Kaito, how did he reproduce?

Alan, two kids, one of each, no hesitation, he has a ‘little princess’ who he is nervous of hurting accidentally when he holds her but is as much of a wild beast as his brother. They like going hiking and getting chased by their dad when they get too close to a lake or too far away from the path.

In Leo’s scenario i see him with a daughter that managed to soften out his meanness (while she is around so she doesn't pick up on much of his sass, kids don't make miracles) and left him with another on the way that I also feel would be another girl. He is just a bit annoyed he doesn't have to redo the nursery for content but whatever.

Sho I KNOW that in his fic I said ‘nephew’ but imagine a baby girl that was playing with her family before she was even born and had you two scattering to find a girl's name at the hospital. It's just the beginning of her mischievous streak. Sho thinks it's his karma from being a thug as a teen.

I don't know why but I can see Romeo having three kids? Maybe because Gucci had like five kids or it's to a certain degree to assure himself the MC wants to stay with him and wouldn't leave out of the blue 💔 attachment issues bb.

Ritsu originally only wanted one child, he was an only child and was happy getting all the attention, but not everything went as he planned so he got twin boys.

Taiga, why would you do this to yourself??

Haru already has a son, peekaboo, but when he grows up he accidentally has a boy who he starts giving some minor tasks around, separating some leaves for the animals, brushing peekaboo’s hair, plucking weeds, etc etc. Don't look at him like that! He need all the help he can get.

Towa has girls! They like fairy tales with happy endings and always bother their dad to tell them your love story. When they become toddlers they go through a vegan phase to mimick him and will cry if they have meat or egg on their plate.

Ren was 99% sure he was going to die a virgin. He ends up with a girl he plays games with everyday after work. Borderline ipad kid.

Can grandpa Ed even have kids? Lol if he has I think I could see him with just one vampy baby that sits next to him and drinks tears off a sippy cup while his dad watches iceberg videos. Another ipad kid.

Rui (if somehow you broke his curse) is someone who I don't think would have kids, or at least not planned jajs but maybe one girl that he ends up overprotecting from playboy men like him in his youth.

Lyca I want to say they have a litter just for the joke of him being a werewolf but he doesn't seem to have any siblings so the joke doesn't get far :(

I see Subaru with only one child if any. He loves the little thing but feels he is intruding on their privacy, whenever he touches his preteen/teen kid he feels sorry enough to apologize.

I see Haku as someone who would be pretty chill with his life after Darkwick and go along with it as it happened. If you two had a child, great; if you didn't, great too. Very go with the flow parenting too.

Zenji he is dead wth jajajaj

Yuri NEEDS a little child that is always so impressed with their papa and he gets to brag about being the best or something. Please just don't let him be a strict teacher so your kid will follow his steps, he thinks it's for the best of their future but you can coerce him into just giving a very lengthy lecture about anomalous medicine without tests.

Jiro HAS to have a boy that is so similar to his uncle 🥹 always cooing since he is able to vocalize and chasing his dad around to get uppies while he tends to the backyard filled with herbs.

Bad Buddy Ep 10

My thoughts on Ep 1 | Ep 2 | Ep 3 | Ep 4 | Ep 5 | Ep 6 | Ep 7 | Ep 8 | Ep 9

Me, at the end of this episode:

This is what I'm talking about!!!

Now, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but the way Pat getting shot was so inconsequential to the plot makes me put on a tin foil hat and theorize that they knew exactly what they were doing with Ep 9. They knew that nothing sustains a fandom more than having something to hate on together, and that was what Pat getting shot was about. It is to ensure the longevity of the BB fandom. So, in a roundabout way, Pat got shot for us!!!

Here are my thoughts on this episode:

Okay, I see you, Pat. Look at you trying to soft launch your relationship with Pran to your parents by telling them that he helped you in a sticky situation.

Wow, Pat's father thanked Pran. I'm sure Pran never imagined that he would live to see this day. I know I haven't.

Why isn't Pat's dad asking him for more details about the case though? I don't know, man; they seem too nonchalant about this whole getting shot and almost getting charged thing for my liking.

You know what? I wonder if the parents had found out about Pran saving Pa's life when they were kids; maybe their rivalry would've been long over.

You heard it here first: the reason for Pat getting shot is for them to get a shot at their relationship.

"Your dad might warm up to me and hand me his son." STHAP IT!!!

I know I've mentioned it before, but Pat's being so brazen right now with pinching Pran's cheeks in broad daylight where anyone could see. IN FRONT OF THE TRASH CANS. Remember when they used to fight at the exact spot? Yeah.

Okay, what is your new password, Pran? I want to know.

Are you telling Pran, my beloved, who loves order and structure in his life, is so forgetful? Headcanon time—Pran just wanted Pat to visit his faculty because he wanted to show off his adorable puppy boyfriend from the rival faculty.

See, Wai and friends have accepted Pat as a part of Pran's life from now on. Compare it with the last time Pat came to his faculty to give the thumb drive—Pran had to hide Pat behind a wall so that his friends wouldn't catch Pat and beat the shit out of him. Now, they are personally delivering Pat to Pran on a nice platter.

Something about Pran just being at the top of the stairs looking at Pat with hearts in his eyes, while his boyfriend is professing his undying love for him from the bottom of the stairs for anyone to hear, is just AAAHHHHHH

Remember when Pat did the same previously but under the guise of auditioning for the play? Yeah, me too. For my boys to have this, out in the open ❤️

Guys, you don't understand. Pran never thought he could have this. He never even dreamt of having this!!

Pran's new password is "Praninlove." Now, what should I do with that information??

Pran is now egging him on, a total 180 from him asking Pat to not post anything that could lead to others suspecting their relationship status.

Well, Pat is never one to back down from a challenge. So, my boy delivers.

What do you mean they are meeting in the MIDDLE of the staircase? The fucking symbolism of it all.

Post confession handbumps, my beloved!! Hope that there is a compilation of all their handbumps somewhere on this website.

Well, I know that Wai said he has a crush on Pa. But how about I present you Korn? He'd be good for you. Now that they're not fighting anymore, they'll need an excuse to touch each other, so why not date along the way? We've seen Pat embrace his bisexuality. Me thinks it's Wai's turn now.

Pat, don't think I haven't noticed you casually draping your hand on your boyfriend's shoulder in the canteen before your friends. I see you, and it's bringing me immense joy.

Ink's got Pa having gay thoughts. I'm sure she's wondering if Ink sees her as more than just a junior to look after.

Man, I gotta be honest, it took me a second to comprehend why Pran is in the hospital. In case anyone forgot, let me take it upon myself to remind you that PAT GOT SHOT in the previous episode 🤦.

It's already healed. These are not serious people at all. Now that we are on this subject, when Pat, Pran, Korn, and Wai were hanging out together, there was no mention of the shooting or the investigation or anything that happened.

I don't know, man; if something like that happened in my friend group, we would be talking about it for months to come.

Okay, the guy who works for Pran's dad spotted them in the hospital. Isn't it the same guy they were hiding from in the music store at the mall to avoid being spotted together? Oh, how the times have changed!

Yes, he is, and he saw it all. Well, PAT'S VERY ASIAN DAD LIED TO HIM ABOUT FAMILY LORE?! I'm shooketh. Never heard of that happening before.

Oh, Pat, my precious, sounding so naive with the "So, we've been misunderstanding each other all along?"

Well, the parents knew everything but still hate each other. Oh, it's not just business. What could it be?

Aww," I think, one day, things will be better."

Pa is having a gay crisis and asking her brother for advice. I love how Pat is genuinely happy that someone might be interested in his sister. None of that toxic, "You're my younger sister, and here's your chastity belt" bullshit from my boy.

Pa is definitely her brother's sister. Pran, sweetheart, are you being Wai's wingman for him to hit on Pa? I hope you see it with your eyes, bestie, that Ink's got Pa covered.

Well, Wai, they do say that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. So, Pran, being the best friend he is, can shove Wai in Korn's direction if he cares to.

Pat, did you just go to your professor, who also happens to be your father's friend, for family lore? King shit!!

What are these parents hiding? Did their dads have gay thoughts about each other and act upon them???!!!

Oh, it's not the dads. Something happened between Pat's dad and Pran's mom.

They are visiting their old high school to know more about their parents' shared history and reminiscing about their own.

Now, some people might've overlooked the detail that Pat is carrying his boyfriend's bag, but not me.

I'm just over here losing it at Pran's face when the teacher asked, Why are you two legendary rivals here together?

But Pat's the one who confirms that they're together. Gotta hand it to these two; they'll let the whole world know before their parents get even a whiff of their relationship.

I recognize baby gays when I see them. Am I going to get to see Pran serenade Pat?

Yes, dreams do come true!!

"Your mom and his dad were close friends. They were always together." 💀

Pat's reaction after finding out that his sister has a chance with his ex-crush is to say, "I'm hot too, but I failed." 😂😂 I just love Pat and Pa.

Pa🤝 Pran finding out that they know the person who gave them snacks by cross-checking their handwriting.

You know what I'm being deprived of? Pran and Pa together. Give it to me!!!

I have to hand it to Ink - developing film together is a very clever way to get your crush into a dimly lit room with you.

Pa, my beloved, are you thinking that Ink is being nice to you because she's your peer mentor? Awww.

Wait a second, Ink fought with everyone to become Pa's peer mentor. I knew it!! I had her number when she remembered that Pa liked shrimp while they were at the restaurant together.

To recall such a detail about your classmate's sister, whom you haven't seen in three years, is just so AHHHH. That's yearning, babygirl. SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.

Well, now that you mention it, Pat, it would be really funny if you guys were half-siblings. Thailand wouldn't go there, but I know that Taiwan will. Is this my way of putting the idea of a Taiwanese version of Bad Buddy into the universe? Yes!!

Oh no! Pat's parents saw him tickling Pran in the mall.

Okay, Pat's dad SHOVED Pran!!! I'm trying to find empathy for Pat's dad, but it's just so hard when he hurts Pran like that.

Is it because Pran is proof that the girl he once loved isn't with him anymore? Even if it is, sir, it has been over two decades, and hating on a child just for existing is plain monstrous.

I hope you reflect on your actions and APOLOGIZE to my boy.

Well, if there's one thing Asian parents hate, it is having their kids talk back to them in public. But, apparently we are doing it in the mall. WE ARE BOYFRIENDS!!!!

My heart is hurting for Pat!! Such a brave, brave boy. So, Pat's mom put a stop to it.

Pran sent Pat after his patents to clear things up. Both my boys are hurting. 😭😭

I love the little detail of Pran carrying the GUITAR (the thing she forbade him from playing) with him when his mom confronts him about his relationship with Pat (the person she forbade him from being associated with).

"Is it even my job to be responsible for your feelings?" Pran SNAPPED, and it is glorious to witness.

Oh, the classic slapping your son to keep him in line. Always works, right? RIGHT??!

So the truth comes out. Ming, Pat's dad, stole Pran's mom's scholarship.

"You're not the only person who wants to make his dad proud." Call back to the time when Pat mentioned to Pran that he hasn't seen the look of disappointment in his eyes before when he learnt about Pat skipping rugby practice.

"If you only wished to run a family business, why did you take my scholarship?" - Why would you do that, Ming?

We are back on the rooftop!!! Oh no, Pran is crying.

Thank God Pat is there to cheer up his boyfriend.

Boys, I'm going to need y'all to provide some clarity on the whole "Let's get away from here." Are we talking about a getaway? To escape from reality for a bit? If so, then I'm on board.

The parallels between playing the guitar and loving Pat in relation to Pran are very interesting; his mom forbade him from doing both without ever giving him a concrete reason. He left them both at the same time, i.e., at the Christmas performance at school. Pat ran after Pran with the guitar on the same day. But Pat kept the guitar with him for 3 years and returned it ( & himself) to Pran. Now, wouldn't it be something if Pat's dad used to play the guitar and that's why Pran's mom doesn't want him to anymore? It would be rather ironic because Pat is the one who gave the guitar back to Pran.

Now that everything's out there in the open, I have a lot of thoughts about the rivalry. But I'm short on time today. So, hopefully, I'll get to piece something together in the next episode liveblog post.

[the-force-awakens]

*slides into your asks* you're taking reader prompts, you say? 👀

well, if you feel so inspired, I'd like to offer:

"For someone who claims to not be a cuddler, you couldn't keep your hands to yourself all night." + Poe (shocking, ik 🤭)

Please and thank youuuu 💖

thank you for the request hon! word count clocks in at juuuuust over 1k. no warnings besides a lot of fluff.

"I'm not really a cuddler, actually.” 

Poe glances up from his datapad — patrol rosters for the next week are pulled up, with a blank space where Niv's name used to be before he wound up in the medbay with the flu — to where you're standing at the side of his cot, appraising it like you would a ticking bomb.

(Poe would know, he's seen you disarm one.)

“You're not?” It shocks him, somehow, even though now that you mention it - yeah, he hasn't really seen you be that physically affectionate with anyone before. 

Well, anyone besides him. You didn't mind his penchant for being touchy, seemed to like the press of his body besides yours when he sat with you at meals. You smiled every time he kissed the side of your head before he left for a flight, and pulled him into bone-crushing hugs when he made it back.

So he just assumed that meant you're as snuggly as he is. He'd kind of been counting on it ever since he invited you over, to sleep in his quarters for the first time since you became a thing. 

(That's what you keep calling it, a thing. It's so early in that it's hard to say if this is going to be a long-term relationship, but it's been long enough you both know it isn't a fling.) 

“No,” you reply, monosyllabic as you pinch the fabric of your pillow between your fingers. You'd brought your own because, according to you, his was lumpy. “I'm not, is that - I mean is that going to be a problem?” 

Poe watches you for a moment, trying to parse out the complicated expression on your face; which you don't seem to like, because you drop your gaze to the floor, as if you think he'll see something he doesn't like — which is just kriffing impossible. 

"Nah, it's not," Poe says eventually, clicking off his datapad. The clock is rapidly approaching double digits and he's got an early meeting with the General, so the rest of the roster can wait. Hell, he'll fly in Niv's place himself if it means he can catch some shut eye tonight. “I just hope you don't mind if I am, I can't really - turn it off in my sleep.” He exhales a nervous laugh as he says it, scratching the back of his neck.

To his relief, you smile. “I kind of figured you would be. You ready for bed?”

Poe's already beelining for his side when he replies, "Maker, yes," and you only laugh in return, crawling under his scratchy blanket and dropping your pillow beside his. 

You both face each other, your face becoming shadowed as BB-8 dims the lights for the night cycle, and Poe seeks out your hand, gently pulling it up so he can hold it between the two of you, the edges of the pillowcases tickling your skin.

“Goodnight, Poe,” you whisper, the ghost of a smile on your face as you squeeze his hand and close your eyes.

You wake slowly, reluctantly. You're warm, in that wonderful way that means the rest of the world is chilly, and there's a comforting firmness beside you that you have no trouble burrowing closer to — you don't remember situating your pillow like that, don't recall falling asleep hugging it, but you must have because there's something that you're clinging to like you are the last vestiges of your sleep —

And then you hear a chuckle, rough and full of affection, and feel the way your pillow dips with the inhale and exhale of breath, and all at once you remember that you're not in your bed.

Prying open your eyes, you tilt your head back and realize that at some point in the middle of the night, you'd done precisely what you said you wouldn't: you'd sprawled out almost entirely on top of Poe, one arm flung over his torso, legs tangled together, your head cushioned by the joint of his arm where it meets his shoulder.

"You know, for someone who claims you're not a cuddler,” Poe begins, tipping his chin so he can look down at you. "You couldn't keep your hands to yourself last night.”

Your face beats up with mortification and you groan, turning your head to bury it against his chest, just over his pec. He didn't have to phrase it like that. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hold you hostage.”

You feel his frame tense, and then he very gently nudges you back, shifting so you're both back on your sides. Your leg is still wedged between his, and you do your best to ignore that, which Poe makes easy, what with his easy smile. 

"Hey, I distinctly remember asking you if you minded if I was snuggly. No need to apologize for beating me at my own game.”

You huff a laugh and bring your hand up to cup his cheek. “I didn't know I would. No one's ever accused me of being cuddly before, you know? And I've never had anyone who -” was as tactile as you craved, before Poe. 

Even with your aborted explanation, Poe seems to get it, because he nods. "Glad you could discover it with me.”

“I'm discovering a lot of things with you,” you murmur, leaning up to press your lips against his in a lazy kiss. He tastes like sleep, but you genuinely don't care, not when his warm, warm hand comes up to cradle your jaw, and he's smiling against your mouth.

He's a little late for that briefing with Leia, though, because now that you know you like cuddling, you're extremely reluctant to let him go — and Poe isn't any better, coming back even after his shower to kiss you some more, until you're having to push him away and towards his door with the promise he can kiss you some more tonight. 

It's definitely not a fling. But you think it's growing into something more than just a thing.

Mob Psycho 100 Mob Psycho 100 II A two-seasons commentary

Season 1 -no idea what i'm getting into. i sauntered here through va works. hopefully it's fun.

-he's good, isn't he. takahiro sakurai

-that yoshitsugu matsuoka, huh? chef's kiss

-the guys in mob's fitness club are so NICE. it's cool

-oh gee, mob is about to see ritsu getting in a fight as an esper, that's gonna hurt both ways

-dude, that's sad. ritsu telling mob that he didn't actually admire him but fear him? that they couldn't have a fight as brothers so as not to stress him out? someone give mob a hug

-wow wait, mob treats his little brother with such maturity??? way to go mob, respect

-dude? mob going consciously berserk and using his powers bc someone's hurting ritsu? so good? and ritsu losing his shit when mob is getting hit?? so good??

-might i suggest dimple possessing reigen. it would be a win-win situation

-eh?? EEEEHHH?? reigen is the claw boss?? b-b-but...

-the way mob, who's usually so reserved and distant and inexpressive, loves ritsu so openly, so sincerely, so wholeheartedly, it's just so heartwarming

-ah fuck off, you tricked me into thinking reigen was the boss

-holy shit?? reigen turning into the real mvp in the claw hq??

-oi, reigen is making me tear up, what

Season 2 -aww emi and mob are cute

-i know. I KNOW reigen is reigen, but damn, his mentor dynamics with mob are so sweet. he really tries to understand him and look out for him and guide him well.

-ah. okay. the way ekubo reminded mob who he is in mogami's world made me tear up a bit. and wah, mob's getting stronger. what a great ep

-not saying that reigen didn't bring this notoriety all upon himself, not saying it's totally undeserved, but maaaaan this is depressing

-oooh bb mob has known about reigen from the beginning that his master "is a good guy," lil bb :") they're sweet, man, they're sweet. they have a sweet dynamic, even if reigen is reigen.

-ritsu having a breakdown behind the desk at reigen's advice to tsubomi, peak comedy

-OI WTF I DIDN'T EXPECT SHO TO JUST FUCKING SHOW UP AT THE KIDS' PLACE WHAT THE FUCK

-A FIRE?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

-surely not? surely the fam isn't dead? surely? SURELY?! hold up, no??? surely not???

-RITSU! THEY'RE ALIVE!

-ritsu randomly being with sho throws me off so much, like, even if it's for good reason WHY ARE YOU THERE, YOUNG MAN

-"everyone lacks something. people making up for others' deficiencies is what makes this world go around."

-it's wonderful seeing mob evolve as a person. and this support system he has, and that everyone has with each other, chef's kiss.

Taiga’s birthday

Pls devs why are all their birthdays close.

How to OC4 celebrate

Let taiga be a menace it’s his special day, he’s just a lil guy.

Karma’s tis a bit suggestive

Xena 🫥

Romeo had ordered her to pick up a large order he made, she assumed it was something dodgy or new skin products.

Instead, a menagerie of clothes, jewels, gun holsters, necklaces and one singular ring were all loaded on to the back of her scooter, she luckily attached a little wheeled storage unit that she attached making this a one trip journey and saving her soul from getting snapped at by Romeo for being late.

Romeo was waiting impatiently outside of the casino as Xena pulled up.

“What’s all this for RoeRoe?” •_•

Romeo snapped his fingers as his minions started loading up the goods, he rolled his eyes as Xena started trying to sneakily look at the other gifts, he stormed over and slapped her wrist, scowling at her as she looked at a particularly shiny pair of boots.

“Nothing you need to worry about BB.”

He snapped at her as he walked off, Ritsuo coming out of the casino with a clipboard muttering to himself as he checked over Romeo’s purchases before realising Xena was there.

“Ah, detective you’re the delivery girl for Taiga’s presents, it seems Romeo has gone over budget…”

He chewed the tip of his pen as his brow furrowed as he tried to crunch the numbers looking around in distaste and curiosity.

“Taiga’s presents…?”

She tilted her head in confusion, she knew Romeo kept up the act of hating Taiga for reasons she can’t quite decipher…so why overspend on gifts for a man he’s trying to outwardly hate?

“It’s the captain’s birthday tomorrow and it seems despite their differences as well as the fact he most likely won’t remember it being his birthday, Romeo has decided to break law 2CBA of Darkwick’s house rules and overspent on-“

Romeo lightly smacked Ritsuo around the head, interrupting his information dump as he slightly glared at the scowling Romeo.

“It was my own money WOA.”

Xena blinked at him in surprise and Ritsuo nodded mechanically as he started frantically scribbling on his notepad, rectifying the House’s budget and noting what Romeo said in a little notepad.

“You did all of this for Taiga?”

Xena quietly asked smiling softly at the frowning man.

“STFU BB; I don’t have time for this.”

A dramatic swish of his coat ended the conversation as Romeo turned and went back inside of the casino, narrating to his tape recorder as he followed up on the many questions he had for Romeo.

🫥🫥🫥🫥

“What are you doing?”

Sho asked as Xena and Alan spray painted the Penny farthing, it was an electric red and Sho couldn’t think of anyone who would want to ride something like that.

“We’re preparing a gift.” •_•

Alan answered fully concentrating on getting the little corners, Xena was spraying little stencils of smiley faces and lucky cats as they both seemed to enjoy their little project.

“Yeah, a gift.” •_•

Sho sighed as he put some goggles on and gloves as he went to assist them, hoping to help make the strange gift more stylish.

“So who’s this gift for?”

Alan and Xena glanced at eachother as they started explaining…

🫥🫥🫥🫥

“Oi, what’s this?”

Taiga shouted at Xena as she approached him, wheeling over the penny farthing as Romeo looked at her in shock.

“It’s a gift.”•_•

She had to wonder why everyone kept asking that…

She pushed it into Taiga, who just looked at her confused as he stared down at the bike, a red penny farthing with stripes of white, stencils of smileys and cats littering the bike, she had gotten a golden trim on the wheels and a little water pistol attached to the handle bars, so Taiga can shoot people as he zooms past them.

“Why..why would you get him this?”

Xena just stared at them as Taiga looked thoughtfully at the bike, he stroked a finger across Romeo’s cheek pressing his finger against his lips, Xena couldn’t help noticing the silver ring with a purple gem on Taiga’s ring finger as he silenced Romeo, who just smacked his hand away…a matching ring on his own finger.

Taiga clambered onto the bike cackling wildly to himself as he started cycling around them. Romeo sighed with resignation as a fond look overcame him as he watched Taiga spray passer Byers, who screeched slightly in fear as they ran away from him.

“What did you put in the water gun?”

It was a weird red substance that could be seen even through the pink water gun.

“Watered down habanero sauce, it was Leo’s idea.”

Romeo nodded in approval as they watched Taiga start to chase down a passing Hyde, who at first started giggling but as he got a slight taste of what was in the gun…started running for his life.

Xena recorded the situation and sent it to Sho, who sent multiple laughing emojis as he watched his older brother get knocked down by a penny farthing.

———————————————————

Cathrine 🧪

The maniacal cackling from the cathedral could be heard from students all around who have started to avoid the area in fear of getting caught up in one of Cathrine’s experiments.

Today was different though, today another laugh could be heard bellowing from the place…

Taiga’s-

He and Romeo had their feet up on the lounger sofa that sat beneath monstera, their feet propped up as they drank wine taking a small break from the afternoon of weapons testing that Cathrine had set up for the two to enjoy for Taiga’s birthday.

Cathrine who was currently tinkering with the masterpiece they’ll test at the end…

A bazooka.

Her name was Gladys and she was matt black with pink outlines and a huge cat stamp just underneath the trigger.

It was the grande finale to quite a nice evening, the staff of Darkwick did try to send people to stop them but a phone call Romeo made managed to get them off their backs as they ate the sweet treats Rui and Cathrine had made earlier.

She hefted the heavy weaponry and brought it over to the Sinostra duo, Taiga abruptly standing up as he gazed at her or more-so Gladys in awe.

“What’s this?”

He looked in confusion from Romeo to Cathrine and for a moment she thought he’d forgotten her again and was about to shoot her…until Romeo got up and place a hand delicately on Taiga’s shoulder.

“WTF does it look like dumbass?”

He cooed at him as he pushed Taiga forward, Cathrine tentatively placed it in his hands as he marvelled at her creation.

“Her names Gladys…”

Taiga nodded at her incoherently as he started practice aiming at different things in her garden.

“I actually have somewhere we can go with that…”

Taiga and Romeo glanced at eachother questioningly.

“Is it far MD?”

Cathrine shook her head as she ushered them to follow her, guiding them to the very outskirts of the cathedrals garden before opening a door hidden by overgrown ivy.

“Through here…”

Taiga strode through sniffing the air as Romeo just looked at her in worry, Cathrine simply grinned as she showed them her secret space, it was where she tested all her weapons…

A deep dark forest enveloped them, she had already cut a way through the thorn bushes and planted a walkway through the swamp like area.

As she guided them she couldn’t help the guilt that overtook her as Romeo struggled through the thick plants. She watched wide eyed as Taiga gently took Romeo’s hand and helped guide him through the mini forest walkway. Romeo kept checking that Cathrine wasn’t watching as Taiga did this and would slap his hand away if he thought she saw which would only make the red head cackle.

Cathrine of course saw all of this as she was walking literally right next to them.

They came to a wide clearing that had a mini cooling unit and two armchairs, the only sort of fauna in the area was a dead tree hanging over the chairs providing slight shade/shelter. The rest was a wide open space, there was some trash and abandoned cars at the edges of the clearing, Cathrine letting vagastrom dump them there in exchange for being able to test her weapons on them.

“This is hideous.”

Romeo grumbled as he slumped into the tattered orange armchair, Taiga excitedly hopped over to Cathrine holding the bazooka gently in his arms.

“Where to little kitty?”

She huffed out a laugh as she showed him the way, she had been reserving this for a grenade shes trialling but this would be much more worth it in terms of explosions.

It was an ice cream truck, she had gotten it from Leo who used it for some TikTok and didn’t want it anymore, they had spray painted and whatever else to it to over and over again and the poor thing had finally rusted and had fallen apart hence Cathrine being able to snatch it up.

She handed out headphones she usually keeps around the cooling unit as they prepped the bazooka.

Taiga now locked&loaded aimed Gladys directly at the truck, hooting excitedly as he pulled the trigger, they all watched in awe as the red missile blew the ice cream truck to pieces. Cathrine brought out more wine from the cooling unit, made by Rui, she handed a bottle to Romeo and Taiga and they all peacefully watched as the fire roared in front of them and the remnants of metal laid around them.

———————————————————

Olivia ��

“It’s uh I hope you like it?”

She handed the small box over to Taiga who just looked at her in confusion.

“Who the fuck are you?”

He held a gun to her head as she sighed in resignation, she knew this was a bad idea but Karma encouraged her to hand it over, she had spent a stupid amount of time searching for it-even calling in favours from Romeo.

“Olivia~Taiga-remember you threw me out a train?”

Bitterness undertones a cheery voice as she continued to hold it out, a strained smile as she watched Taiga scratch the side of head with his gun, thinking hard as he tried to recall where he knew her from.

“Ah!”

He dropped his gun as he grinned at her, nodding to himself as though he was thinking of an amusing memory.

“The white fox~ Harry’s lady.”

She couldn’t help the blushing or the smile that spread across her face as she nodded in agreement-inwardly only to the latter part but she wasn’t going to disagree on a nickname with the man with a gun.

“Yep that’s me, I got you a birthday present.”

Taiga raised a brow as his gaze flickered from her to the box before slowly yanking it away and lazily ripping off the wrapping paper, whistling low to himself as he dropped the box and pulled out a tiny rose gold gun.

“I thought it’d be good for ya know surprise attacks or something…“

He was smiling gently at the gun as he traced the small amethysts on the hilt.

“Good job, foxxy!

She couldn’t help the feeling of accomplishment and vindication take over as Taiga grinned down at the gun.

Haru tried to tell her not to, a warning in case Taiga started to try to kidnap both her and peekaboo. But, in these moments Taiga’s not so bad…

“Happy birthday Taiga!”

———————————————————

Karma 🎨

It was quiet in the empty room the only sound filling the static air was the gentle sounding of Karma’s spray gun. Romeo was standing in the middle of a plastic sheet, arms out as karma painted the underside of Romeo’s arm.

He was almost done, it was Romeo’s nighttime surprise for Taiga when they went to bed. The purple eyed beauty insisting it must be Karma’s own design, so karma took inspiration of the Sistine chapel, making Romeo look angelic something he rolled his eyes at and said he already looked like that as Karma just huffed out a laugh.

They just needed to ensure that none of Romeo’s clothes rubbed against it…

They were sifting through the chosen clothing that Romeo deemed acceptable, karma choosing a dark pink chiffon robe with flowers weaved into the netting. Romeo hummed in thought as he looked between that a a dark purple silk robe, cherry blossoms sewn throughout it with branches weaving around his arms.

Before he could make a decision Taiga slams the door open, a hungry look in his eyes as he searched for Romeo, eyes widening as he swaggered into the room leaning against the wall as he ate up the sight of Romeo’s painted body, he even had his prosthetic air brushed to match it.

“This is some gift Lucci~”

His eyes locked onto Karma’s, a smirk spreading across his face as Karma gave him a tiny wave.

“-and you brought the bunny too?”

He was asking rather than confirming, a silent invitation for Karma to grab at as Romeo’s eyes turned sultry as he took the chiffon robe from Karma’s grasp, raising an eyebrow as he held his hand out.

“Well?”

Romeo waited for him to respond as Karma mulled over his options or more like a battles of wills that was immediately lost when he saw Taiga start unbuttoning his shirt, scars and abs overthrowing any reason as he started silently nodding.

“Yep-yep s-sound good to me…”

He took a deep breath before summoning/willing his suave persona to come to life. (He is a massive loser 😞the only one who thinks he’s suave is himself.)

“It is his birthday after all…”

🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨

“Ohhhhhhhh, look what the cat dragged in~! Busy night Karmie?”

Leo smirked at him as he took in the sight of the insane amount of love bites…and actual bites covering karma’s neck, he could even see some poking out from his shoulder as Karma just rolled his eyes as he flopped on the couch beside him, his shirt lifted up and Leo couldn’t help cackling as he took a dozen pictures of the gold and red paint handprints covering Karma’s chest.

“It was his birthday…”

Karma murmured out placing his head on Leo’s thighs as he immediately crashed out trapping the influencer who huffed out a sigh as he started scrolling on TikTok and spamming Sho with pictures of the chaotic painter.

Stellaris Fleet Advice from some Catgirl Thing

Because apparently I'm competent at this sort of thing? Learn from me at your own risk. I am not an expert I just like the funny space boats.

Ships! These aren't the best ships, but they're the ones I know about and use.

Anti-mining corvette: Interceptor core, 3 lasers, 2 shields, 1 armor, swarm tactics, any addon. These specifically counter ancient mining drones, since mining drones use lasers and have no shields.

Shield-popping corvette: Interceptor core, 3 autocannons, 3 armor, swarm tacticcs, any addon. These are garbage on their own, since they basically only damage shields. Great for use with proton/neutron torpedoes.

Torpedo boat (FFK): Missile boat core, 1 autocannon, 1 torpedo, 2 armor, 1 shield, torpedo tactics, stealth or afterburner addon. These should only really be used on their own in max-size fleets. Never take these into combat against anything smaller than a cruiser, and expect losses against carrier-type battleships.

Guided missile frigate (FFG): Missile boat core, 1 missile, 1 proton/neutron torpdeo, 2 shields, 1 armor, artillery tactics, any addon. These should be used with shield-popping corvettes, and are useless without them. I have never tried this ship in practice, though it should work perfectly.

Guided missile destroyer (DDG): Gunboat bow, interceptor stern, 1 swarm missile, 4 missiles, any armor layout, artillery tactics, any addons. These are great to combine with missile-based carriers or cruisers, as some additional expendable firepower. I have never *not* lost a DDG in a fight involving them.

Destroyer Escort (DE): Picket bow, picket stern, 3 point-defense, 2 lasers, shield-heavy layout, picket tactics, any addons. These guard your larger ships from missiles, and are very capable in denying a missile-centric enemy. Anyone using armor-only expendable corvettes or frigates will find their fleet in ruins from a few of these, but do keep in mind that you need a lot of these to do much good. I usually put a few of these in any group of large ships, and they really do only last one or two fights before they're gone.

Destroyer (DD): Gunship bow, gunship stern, all lasers, any armor layout, line tactics, any addons. These are entirely capable of swarming enemies and melting armor, but do mind that you need a lot of them. Ideal for early-game or if you're broke on alloys. Must be used with either shield-popping corvettes or heavy cruisers.

Light Cruiser (CL): Broadside bow, broadside core, broadside stern, all lasers, any armor layout, line tactics, any addons. These are bigger, more expensive DDs. More suited for use with BBs than with CAs.

Light Missile Cruiser (CLG): Torpedo bow, torpedo core, broadside stern, all proton/neutron torpedoes, missiles, and swarm missiles, any armor layout, artillery tactics, any addons. These must be used with something to pop shields, whether that's anti-shield corvettes, CAs, or BBs. The normal/swarm missiles exist to overwhelm enemy point defense. Due to the large amount of missiles, these work well with DDGs and CVs.

Heavy Cruiser (CA): Artillery bow, artillery core, broadside stern, all mass drivers, any armor layout, artillery tactics, any addons. These should never be used with anything larger than cruisers, and they should always be used with something to damage armor. Goes great with DDs and CLGs

Battleship (BB): Artillery bow, artillery core, artillery stern, all mass drivers (or all kinetic batteries), any armor layout, artillery tactics, any addons. These are just bigger CAs, and it is always worth the upgrade. Do keep in mind that these have a minimum range, and you will be easy to overwhelm if FFKs or corvettes get too close. DEs are recommended if you like not losing your precious battleships. Goes great with CLGs, CLs, and DDs.

Carrier (CV): Hangar bow, carrier core, broadside stern. All P slots should be point defense, all S slots should be missiles, all M slots should be swarm missiles, and all H slots should be strike aircraft. Any armor layout, carrier tactics, any addons. These pierce all shields, but are weak against point defense. Overwhelm enemy point defense with the help of a few CLGs and/or a lot of DDGs, and make sure you have some DEs to screen out any strike aircraft or frigates, as those are incredibly dangerous to ships of this size.

Some archaeoweaponry is just better than stock stuff. If you have the improved stuff, use it. It's good. I've never tried titans, though in theory they're just larger battleships, so they could be supported by a BL instead of a CL, though I did not say how to make a BL here because I've never successfully used one. I was going to make a guide on how to assemble these ships into fleets, but I think I listed that sort of thing under each ship.

@slimegirllover
