HI AERIE!!!!!! how’ve you been? sorry for disappearing a combination of family stuff and school left me with almost 0 time for other things😅 anyways you’ve probably already played sumeru and i have to say that sumeru is one of the best regions released so far (if you ignore the desert)! the fun little slingshots, the scenery, the variety of animals to kidnap take home to my teapot, and the aranara are all really fun and nice! the desert meanwhile… (flashbacks to confusion of teleport waypoints and the brains for the puzzles)
going to twist, idk if you’ve played it but have you played the halloween event (both the first and the second)? the story for both of them was really good and you get to see some mash of character’s dynamics with each other, plus i really like the concept of a stamp reward thingy (im too lazy to search what’s it called😅)!
if i had a penny for every time my favorite chara in a game became a werewolf i would have two pennies which isn’t alot but it’s weird that it happened twice *cough* *cough* halloween luke and kalim *cough* *cough*
also i have tried to pull for nahida and new year kalim and got the grass fox and dissapontment ;-;
btw are you still doing the genshin character like request? cause i have an idea for dori and a dorm (if you can guess what dorm ill give you a potato (not for eating))
anyways sorry for rambling i got a little too carried away 😅
(p.s. life hack nobody needed - if theres a construction murdering you ears put on music (preferably lofi) and it become a bit bareable)
-your favorite potato
OMG POTATO HI 🐳 i am doing well actually i am currently trying to set my priorities straight by making a daily routine 😭 its ok i understand i also disappeared for a long time no pressure i'll still return and stay
sumeru is so pretty like no joke?? the world quests and the archon quest in this region is AMAZING except for the fact that its hard to differentiate whether the waypoints are above or underground 😭 omg what server do you play on maybe i can add u
abt twst I REALLY WASN'T ABLE TO FINISH THEM IN TIME 😭 but i played that in twst jp so more or less i got to experience it BUT THE HALLOWEEN IN TOT I WAS NOT ABLE TO BC I FORGOT ABT IT 😭 i did get vil and silver's halloween cards though they are so pretty 🤍
gimme ur tighnari 👹 i want my bbg and i will take ur disappointment and replace it with luv 😘
as for requests i may open them again around late february or march ?? my sched for next month is kinda full bc of events 🥸 until that time i'll try to create more scenarios
i don't mind the rambling though i am glad i got to have a talk with u again mwah i hope u are doing well and stay safe always 🤍 and remember that life hacks guys

katsuki in street clothes is just beautiful, just ART, a masterpiece, he looks like a grumpy piece of ART
Tumblr media
Katuski had just asked Y/N on a date, completely out of nowhere. Katsuki had asked Y/N on a date. It was difficult to believe, and considering his loud tone, the rest of Class 1-A also found it shocking, the student who claimed to have all his focus on becoming the number one pro-hero was now seeking a relationship. Ironic.
Though Y/N herself initially didn’t understand what he had been trying to say, she quickly got the message, and off they went. She was necessarily shocked by his feelings for her, they had discussed it in the dead of night, when she couldn’t sleep so he decided to forgo his normal grandpa sleep schedule. He fell asleep shortly after that conversation though, in her arms, he’d likely deny it if she ever mentioned it though.
Now, she sat on the counter in his parent’s kitchen, though neither of them were home, and the kitchen looked mostly unused. Y/N had tried to assist him but he’d brushed her off, “I asked you out. And you’re a horrible cook.” 
Y/N hopped off the counter and came up behind him, “whatever.” She mumbled, half expecting Katsuki to shove her away as she wrapped her arms around his torso as he sliced vegetables. He didn’t, though he did freeze momentarily before grumbling something about how dumb she was, Y/N knew he didn’t mean it based off the blush on his cheeks. 
Katsuki placed the vegetables into a pot of boiling water, covering it with a lid before tapping Y/N’s hand, signaling for her to let go. When she did, he turned around, and Y/N’s brow was raised. “C’mere.” He pulled her closer with one hand, and placed another on the back of her necks, bringing their lips together. 
She hummed in response, hand tangling into his hair, this wasn’t the first time they’d kissed. But it was the first time they’d gone on a date, he’d been sure to hide the dining room from her on the way inside, and she couldn’t help the excitement that bubbled up inside her. 
Y/N’s free hand found it’s way to his bicep, nails digging into his soft skin, courtesy of his quirk. Meanwhile, Katsuki’s hand found its way to the curve of her back, pushing her body closer to his only for Y/N to pull away, “pay attention while you are cooking.”
Turning to look at the pot, he’d realized that it was boiling far too much for comfort and cursed, releasing Y/N to salvage his food, she began to laugh. Katuski glared at her as he turned off the stove and put the put the vegetables into a nearby plate. 
With a smile on her face, she pressed a kiss onto his cheek, only for him to roll his eyes as he picked up the plate and moved out of the kitchen, Y/N trailing close behind as he headed to the dining room. “Can I see now?” She asked.
After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, and together they entered the dining room. It was a basic set up for a date, but it certainly set an intimate atmosphere that was rare when you lived in a dorm with several other students, and Mineta. There were candles lighting the room, and a rose in the center of the table, along with more food that he had already placed on the table. 
Grinning at him, Y/N spoke, “god you are such a sap.”
His cheeks flushed as he responded, “shut up.” 
Tumblr media
SHINSOU HITOSHI
Tumblr media
lol cutie, he asks you out on a date, you two are probably close friends and he just really likes your personality and attitude and stuff
“you don’t have to- well you know that but-”
“no, i’ll go out with you.”
“it’s fine i understand- wait what?”
did not think he’d get this far so he had no plans, he was expecting to plan a funeral for your friendship
ends up being the basic movie and food date
he picks a horror movie because he wants to protect you!!!
it makes him feel useful and bb needs validation
hold his hand during the movie
give him AFFECTION
you guys end up skipping dinner because you filled up on popcorn and other snacks during the movie so y’all just walk around
gives you his j a c k e t if its cold
he’s classy like that
unlike other people, he would kiss you on the first date
it would be an AMAZING experience that probably occurs at your front door, super adorable, he asks if he can kiss you
“can i kiss you?” fully expects you to say no
“yeah you can.”
“its fine, thanks for going out with me- wait what?”
same vibes as asking you out, did NOT expect this
walks you home because he is a GENTLEMAN change my mind, Shinsou brought back chivalry 2020
treats you RIGHT!!! the entire date, opens doors for you, pulls out your chair if necessary, pays for you unless you try to split the check but he might propose if you do that and pay for you regardless
Tumblr media
When Shinsou asked Y/N out, he genuinely expected her to say no. His plans for the date included a funeral for himself and the friendship between the two of them. But, Shinsou was an honest guy and wanted to confess his feelings to her, secrets were a rarity between them, and this was no exception. They’d known each other for a while and his feelings weren’t something he could make disappear, no matter how hard he tried.
The last thing he expected was for her to agree to go out with him. 
She was still clinging onto his arm rather harshly as they exited the movie theater, having seen a horror movie, she exclaims, “I am never letting you pick the movie again.” 
Shinsou can’t help it when his heart skips a beat at her comment, looking over to her as he smirks, “again? So there will be a next time?” He asked, hoping that he hadn’t misunderstood.
Her cheeks warm, even though he asked her out, and Y/N looks away, “yes, if you want.” She mumbled, loosening her grip on his arm as they stepped outside. Cool air hits her, and Y/N can’t help the shiver that goes down her spine at the sudden cold. 
“I asked you out, of course I want a second date.” He replied, taking his arm from her grasp to remove his jacket, which he puts around her shoulders. “You still want dinner?” 
Y/N hums, taking his hand in hers and grinning as his cheeks turn red, “I’m not really hungry after all the snacks we had.” She replied, leaning her head onto his shoulder. “Let’s just walk.” 
They walked throughout the small shopping center, speaking with each other in regards to a variety of topics before beginning the walk home, when it started to rain. Thankfully, they were nearby Y/N’s home, and the laughs that consumed them as they ran didn’t stop as they ran up under the roof of Y/N’s porch. Shinsou’s hair was now matted onto his head thanks to the rain, their clothes soaked. 
Looking up at him, Y/N let another laugh escape her, “I like your hair.” She teased, bringing a hand up to ruffle it, though it had little effect.
Shinsou playfully glared at her, “yeah, yeah.” A smile found its way onto his face as he looked at her, the rain still hammering down on the roof, he found himself not wanting to let go of her hand as he asked, “can I kiss you? You don’t need-” He began to ramble, and Y/N was reminded of when he first asked her out as she watched him. 
Y/N’s hand released his and she grabbed his face, bringing his lips to hers, effectively silencing him as his hands fell onto her hips. They broke apart momentarily, only for Y/N’s arms to circle around his neck and pull him closer for yet another kiss.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” He mumbled as they pulled apart.
Tilting her head, Y/N smirked, “you’re cute.” Shinsou ducked his head to hide the pink in his cheeks at this comment. “Be here next Saturday around 2 in the afternoon. This time I pick the movie.”
Looking back up, he raised a brow. “I happened to enjoy the movie, particularly the parts when you-”
“I don’t have to agree to a second date.” Y/N threatened as she playfully slapped his shoulder before heading to her front door, looking back at him as she walked.
Shinsou hummed, eyes meeting hers as he grabbed her hand and yanked her back. “I think I liked the way you shut me up the first time around better.” He presses a gentle kiss to her lips before releasing her hand so that she can head inside.

TODOROKI SHOUTO

THIS BOY
you probably don’t know its a date he’s like “so how was the date”
and you there like “im sorry how was the WHAT?”
asks his siblings for help because he’s clueless, also asks izuku and maybe even bakugo during their remedial course, though camie is 10x more helpful
this is because shoto always spends all of his father’s money on you
while you two are just best friends, he’ll see you look at something and then he’ll just buy it
you guys already act like a couple. like stfu we get it, you have Class 1-A’s resident pretty boy wrapped around your finger jeez no need to brag
it because he’s in love with you already but he doesn’t know that its not his fault he is oblivious to his own emotions
this just amplifies on a date
tries to take you to a ridiculously fancy restaurant and you’re like???
settles for a cafe
you get lost in the convo and forget to actually drink your drink so he just reheats it or makes it nice and cool again ya know
super useful bb
give him validation
listens to you super intently 
intellectual conversations EVERYWHERE he is literally so fun to talk to like discuss any and everything with him
First date at a cafe, he’s rich, he stole his dad’s credit card, and he happens to love trying new things since he was sheltered as a child so he will buy EVERY S I N G L E DRINK for you two to try them all together
50/50 chance he kisses you on the first date
100% chance a kiss happens if you initiate it
he walks you home, and depending on if you are feeling hot or cold, you’ll stand by his side, preferably away from the road because shoto is a gentleman who gets hit by cars for his partner 
Tumblr media
When Izuku had suggested that Shoto take Y/N out on a date to help confess his feelings for her, he figured it would be a good idea. Except, he forgot the part where he asked her on the date.
Oops.
This didn’t really dawn on him as she led him away from the fancy restaurant he had tried to convince her to enter,  “we both know that neither of us would understand a thing on the menu because it’s probably all in french.” Though she had dressed for the occasion, and so had he. “Why do you even want to eat there?” Y/N asked, her hand still holding his as she dragged him along the side walk.
She knew very well how much he disliked such places. They reminded him of all the high end restaraunts he had been forced to go to as a child. And since his father was an infamous pro hero, and Shoto himself was one of the more popular Class 1-A students, it wasn’t uncommon for reporters to frequent areas he was seen in. Carrying their cameras as they tried to get a story about him or his father. He’d told Y/N numerous times how much he disliked the attention, which is why he avoided certain areas of the city. 
Shoto stared at their joined hands, that feeling of joy bubbling in his chest, “my understanding is that you take people to a nice restaurant for a date.” Came his response.
Y/N stopped walking, though Shoto didn’t, causing him to run into her and nearly trip her had he not grabbed waist to keep her from falling. “This is a date?” She asked, hands clinging to his arms as she tried to maintain balance. He’d been acting different, so Y/N felt as though she shouldn’t be shocked, but the fact that Shoto liked her?
He said nothing, releasing her from his arms before taking a step back, “I feel as though I should apologize-” Shoto began, realizing his mistake.
“I know a nice Café I’ve been meaning to visit that’s nearby, you want to continue this there?” She interrupted, extending her hand. Y/N wasn’t stupid, neither was Shoto, she knew he was inexperienced in the romance department and it was clear this was his attempt to woo her. 
It was cute. 
Looking up at her, he couldn’t help but give her a small smile, which she returned as he took her hand. Shoto was thankful that she hadn’t mentioned his poor preparation for the whole ‘date’ thing, since he failed to really ask her about it. Thankfully she was just going with it, “I really like you, Y/N.” It was blunt, but it was the truth, and it was Shoto, being himself. 
Y/N felt her cheeks warm as they approached the Café, “I really like you too, Shoto.” He moved in front of her to open the door, “and here we are.” She gestured to the small Café as they entered, it was a nice set up and she had been meaning to visit. The fact that it was Shoto that she was visiting with made it all the better.
“Why don’t you go find us somewhere to sit?” He suggested, small smile on his face. “I’ll save us a spot in line.” Y/N nodded, and it was clear that she had yet to notice that there was no line, and Shoto had Endeavor’s beautiful black mastercard in hand. 
Which is how they ended up with every possible drink on their table, some of which were going cold, and the cashier thanking Shoto for the $200 cash tip, laughing quietly side by side in their small corner within the Café. Y/N had chosen a more isolated part, though there were already very few people within the store. 
She looked up from her drink to find Shoto’s eyes on her, an unreadable look in his eyes, but she couldn’t help but smile at him, one that he returned. “I like this.” He said, his hand finding hers as he played with her fingers. 
“Me too.” Y/N replied, watching his movements. She found herself Y/N bringing her hand to Shoto’s cheek, and his eyes met hers momentarily, looking up at her in awe as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss against his lips.
Neither of them knew what they were doing, Shoto’s delayed reaction reminded them both of this fact as he finally kissed back after a few moments. The hand that had once been fidgeting with Y/N’s free hand, making its way to her bicep to rub circles in the spot. 
The moment didn’t last long, and when she pulled away, his lips were chasing hers, “we should do this more often.”
A small smile was on his face as he stared at her with what seemed like stars in his eyes, “yeah.” He pressed a kiss to her hand, “we should.”

Do you have any blog recommendations bc my dash is super dry. It doesn’t have to be yandere just anything in particular ah
i’ve been wanting to do blog recommendations for a while now so this is the perfect opportunity !! here are some of my favorite blogs and what i love about them. i’ll keep adding to this as more come to mind... 
@ramwrites [yandere content, hxh]
has lots of god tier hunter x hunter content! ram is actually the blog that i read the most and made me want to make a yandere blog of my own,, i can’t recommend their stuff enough! they have lots of interesting ideas for dark content. honestly even if you haven’t watch or read hunter x hunter it’s worth checking their stuff out just bc of how they pull you into a story so well. this is my favorite work of rams!! 
@honeytea8 [18+, jjba]
shay does a variety of jjba headcanons and scenarios!! i especially love the aesthetic for her blog. she posts a lot of content relating to jjba part 5 so if you follow me for that, you’ll love her blog! honestly just has some of the cutest headcanons ever... i can’t count how many time’s i’ve read this headcanon post of hers. SO CUTE ... !!!!!!
@costellos [jjba] 
HUGE inspiration to me, toya is a big sweetheart and a phenomenal writer! every time i see she’s updated her blog i’m running over there at the speed of light. i don’t know if this makes sense but the way she describes characters interacting with the reader feels so genuine?? and real?? idk i just love it. always makes me smile. reading toya’s work is like drinking hot chocolate or something it’s just so heartwarming. whenever i’m feeling down i read her stuff! i recommend this, it gives a lot of interesting insight into the bucci gang !! 
@jojosprostate [18+, jjba, yandere]
CALLI IS THE GOD OF SMUT!! if you’re ever feeling thirsty you gotta head over there. she never fails to amaze me honestly. i always check to see what her new stuff is multiple times a day bc it’s That good . she writes for a variety of the jjba cast, giving some of the less popular characters lots of god tier content!! my favorite work of hers is definitely sweet citrus [smut], i’ve probably read it around ten times no exaggeration. calli does the lord’s work. 
@greenbeanb0i [18+, jjba]
JUNO INSPIRES ME SO MUUUUCH !!! they’re so knowledgeable about a variety of subjects and it shows in their work. juno puts an unbelievable amount of effort into their worldbuilding and characters, honestly business before pleasure feels better than published novels i’ve read before. if you like giorno i literally CANNOT recommend BBP enough. they also do analysis on characters and different works, i end up reading it even if i’m not familiar with the media it’s based on just because i find juno’s perspective on things so absorbing.
@dear-yandere [multifandom, yandere] 
i think we all know how amazing vanya is, but on the off chance you haven’t stumbled across her works, please check her out!!!!!!!!! everything vanya writes is like poetry, i can’t even begin to describe how much i love her writing style. there have been so many times i read her descriptions and i just go HOW ?? can anyone think of anything this clever and amazing ?? but like this happens to me multiple times when i’m reading her stories. vanya’s work is like the finest of Wine (i haven’t actually had wine before but i’m assuming it’s rich or something...) this is my favorite work of vanya’s, it literally blew my mind . i never thought i’d feel anything like sympathy for yandere DIO but vanya managed to make me feel that way. her work always invokes so many emotions -- anxiety, hollowness, a lack of power -- the perfect combination for yandere works. you’ll find yourself rereading the lines of her stories multiple times and going WOOOAHH i promise . 
@jotaros-massive-tiddies [18+, jjba, some yandere]
ro honestly is a godsend to anyone that loves jjba and is thirsty as Fuck. honestly most people that are into jjba are thirsty so this is the blog for YOU . stumbling across ro on ao3 was like the equivalent of finding gold i s2g. i binge read their stuff and still find myself returning to their stories!! they’ve written for almost all of the jjba characters too, so chances are you’re gonna be partying over the content for any less popular characters you might like. 
@bigwriterenergy [jjba, some yandere]
GOOSE IS SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR ,, she singlehandedly inspired me to share my scarlet ribbons work. her reverse harem bucci gang headcanon post was a cultural reset unlike Any other. its a national holiday as far as i’m concerned. goose is someone else who describes the relationships between characters so well, that it feels real. i especially LOOOVE how she writes jotaro. it’s hard to pick just a single one of my favorite works from goose but,, i’d definitely say it’s the reverse harem one i mentioned earlier. 
@j0succ [18+, jjba, some yandere]
nat has an expansive library of jjba content!! anyone who loves la squadra, it’d especially be in your best interest to check out their work. they also do confessions on their blog and it’s really fun to see. as a part 5 fan i’ve spent hours reading through their blog, their characterization is perfect!! my favorite work of theirs is their yandere giorno piece <33
@kazooli [18+, some yandere, bnha]
the Lord of shigaraki thirst, or just thirst in general honestly. honestly has opened my third eye. ever since i’ve seen their characterization of shigaraki being an absolute degenerate i Cannot picture him any other way. kaz is someone else where it’s difficult to just pick one favorite because all of their works are great,, but i especially love this shigaraki [smut] piece. it feels like it encompasses all of the things that make shigaraki a degen and it’s just,, chefs kiss
@risottos-peach [18+, jjba] 
this blog is SO FUN !! there are a lot of interesting confessions and i love seeing it pop up on my dash. tumblr flagged her for no reason recently bc it’s a dumb website so please go give her a lot of love, her content is a joy to see <33 my favorite piece would be this godsend of a gold experience requiem fanfic [smut], it’s such a big brain usage of the stand. 
@zellywrites [jjba]

ngl voyager gets a whole lot of very disproportional hate from the fandom and i'd hazard a guess that a lot of that is just garden-variety misogyny (and probably racism mixed in, considering how many of the most prominent characters are women, poc, or both). like, is voyager perfect? absolutely not. and no spoilers but there was a lot of executive meddling that wound up leading to the finale/conclusion being lacking and there's a lot of reasonable dissatisfaction with that--but again that was largely thanks to the execs fucking the show over and i recommend looking into that if you can once you've finished the show. but overall? voyager is trek right to its very core--it has heart, it's about family, and it never loses sight of that imo, even if some episodes are weaker or just duds (but, like, would it be a trek series without some episodes that just kinda suck but are still fun to watch???)
anyway, i absolutely love that you're getting into voyager, it is my all-time favorite trek series to this day for a lot of reasons, and i hope that ppl like that anon dont put you off bc i'd love to continue to see your thoughts as you watch the series!
Oh, it would take a whole lot more than some anons being salty that others enjoy things to turn me off :D 
Thus far (I lost internet last night so I’m still only on Episode 7 of Season 2), Voyager is the Trekiest Trek I’ve watched. Which is a weird sentence, but I mean it in the way you said it’s “trek right to its very core.” What is Star Trek, if we strip the intent of the story down to its basics? It’s about exploration, discovery, that “wagon train to the stars,” wrapped up in the argument that life is fundamentally good. We have problems, but we can work past them. We have differences, but they strengthen us. Diversity is the lifeblood of the universe and the future will continue to improve so long as we embrace that. 
Voyager is (again, from what I’ve seen so far!) basically a love song to that premise. I didn’t do too deep a dive because I’m trying to avoid spoilers, but I did look at a couple threads discussing why Voyager is so hated. Again and again I saw the same reason pop up: wasted potential. Now, a lot of fans left it at that (as if the answer to what potential Voyager apparently missed out on is self-evident. It’s not), but those who did expand on the idea consistently claimed that the show needed to be darker than it was, even if they rarely said it like that. Why aren’t the Federation and the Marquis at each other’s throats? Why isn’t the crew going crazy under these circumstances? Why aren’t characters getting killed off left and right in hostile space? “Anything could have happened out there and they played it safe!” but the “anything” here is always... awful. There’s this very pervasive idea that the world is inherently cruel, people are inherently divisive, that when pushed to the brink everything will fall apart... and that (while making for one kind of great story) is very much not Star Trek. 
See, Voyager created an unimaginable scenario--lost in space, 75 years from home, forced to live indefinitely with strangers--and their answer to the question of “What happens?” is “People make it work.” They learn to respect one another, they uphold their ideals, they maintain a love of life and discovery, and they create a family. And that’s fucking fantastic. That’s Star Trek! I’m not going to pretend there aren’t problems with the show, with plenty more to come, I’m sure, but I don’t think this is one of them. Why do so many viewers think that hatred, horror, death, and growing jaded is the only potential here? Why would they expect that in a Star Trek show whose premise is the very antithesis of those things? 
“But they don’t do enough with those things, even if they have happy outcomes.” They do plenty, they just do it in an episodic rather than serialized nature. I can point to multiple episodes where the replicator rations or Maquis differences are driving the characters’ actions. “But without that horror there’s no conflict.” There’s plenty of conflict. Hostile aliens aside, I just watched an episode where Tuvok and Chakotay are pissed as hell at one another because they fundamentally disagree over how to handle problems, but--because they’re adults with a well-tested respect for one another--they apologize and work through it. “But the characters don’t develop at all.” You mean they don’t grow harder. That’s not the same thing as no development. Tuvok is figuring out how to be more flexible, Chakotay is becoming more willing to accept cultures he doesn’t agree with, Harry is growing more confident now that he’s far from home, the Doctor is learning to see himself as a person, Paris is grabbing his second chance with both hands by making strong ties, and Janeway is learning to command and care for her crew simultaneously. I honestly believe that a lot of people think of “character development” as the character becoming a fundamentally different person, unrecognizable from where they started out. But  characters can also grow into the people they wanted to be in the first place. “We’re far from home, in hostile territory, tempted to do horrific things to survive... but no. Right now at least, we’re holding onto who we are. We’re scientists, so we’re going to explore and learn. We’re peaceful, so we’re going to make friends with as many species as we can. We’re members of a society that teaches acceptance, so we’re going to form a family on this spaceship.” That’s incredible!! Did fans miss why Seska was an antagonist in the episode she was unmasked? Because she was trying to convince them to give up everything they believe in in the name of survival, an ends justify the means argument. And the crew said no, we will not give up what we believe in just to make it through. I legit saw a ton of fans saying some version of, “I can’t believe they were that far from home and actually followed Starfleet’s rulebook.” It’s because those rules don’t exist for the hell of it. Overlooking their practical function, they’re a philosophy that the characters believe in, and they’re figuring out how important that part of their identity is to them under these circumstances. Am I willing to steal a specie’s technology if it gets us home? Am I willing to die to help another uphold their own philosophy? (Chakotay in “Imitations”). What regulations should we bend or change to accommodate our new situation? The first two things Janeway does are a) giving the guy who just came out of a penal colony a rank and b) deciding that she needs to be more familiar with her crew than is normally encouraged for a captain because she’s essentially their mom now. Developing doesn’t have to mean characters do a 180 on their initial personality, or characters getting killed off when stuff gets “boring” so that others can do edgy things in response. 
Voyager upholds Trek’s premise and runs it to its logical conclusion: 
Voyager has the most literal trek--a trek back home. 
Voyager has the most diverse crew--a woman Captain, Native American First officer, black Vulcan, Asian-American communications officer, and a White Dude pilot that realizes he wants to be soft and kind towards those who took a chance on him because Toxic Masculinity who? 
Voyager has the most literal family--not just a 5+ year mission, but a crew who expects to raise the next generation. They have no choice but to work together, so they indeed come together rather than pulling apart
Except they do, of course, have a choice. In “The 37′s” the crew is allowed to stay on the Earth-like planet with a city of other humans and Janeway is convinced that a sizable number will choose that. After all, they may never get home and this is a safer, kinder future for them. In fact, the real question is whether so many will stay that they can no longer run the ship... but Janeway would never dictate her crew’s choices in that manner. So she swallows her worry down, opens the door... 
... and finds that not a single person decided to stay behind. And the show has ensured we understand that this is not just because they all have some unshakable belief that they’ll get home (many don’t), but because this is their family now. This is home. 
And fans want to toss that out for a generic, gritty, sci-fi adventure where hope is scarce, the universe is cruel, and people need to be pushed to the limit just to admit that they maybe, sort of, like each other?? Obviously like what you like, but that’s a hard pass for me. I’ll take the bridge crew comforting each other in “Twisted,” thanks. Besides, we already have shows like that. And we already have DS9 which grapples with many of those dark, pessimistic themes. Voyager feels like a breath of fresh air, even within the breath of fresh air that is Star Trek as a franchise. It’s a show that says, “Yes, when everything goes wrong people will come together. They will love each other. They will make it through.” 
What’s more Star Trek than that?

incomprehensible conjecture and rambling about sunny/rcg under the cut! idk man I got 1 hour of sleep in the past 24 or wataver and my brain is an abandoned swamp Good Nigte
i certainly am not arguing that mac Absolutely Isnt a stereotype of a predatory gay man/self-hating homophobe or whatevr. i wont argue the homophobe one at all really,not great even if they rectified it and further tried to make up for it or whatever w mac finds his pride (which i love, regardless). but honestly i dont think the predatory complaint really makes a whole lot of legitimate sense considering every charatcer on the show is Extremely predatory in their own right. if he wasnt i’d be irritated to be honest. i do agree w wat mcelhenney said something like that its cool that they decided to acknowledge he was gay without changing him fundamentally as a person; he still needs to fit into the show or watever. like idk he’s not Ideal Gay Rep ofc but he’s awesome still. To Me. I like when character’s sexuality can be an improtant acknowledged facet of them but doesnt overtake the rest of te narrative! It never occurred to me that his behavior toward dennis would be seen as predatory ina stereotypical way seeing as how their relationship dynamic is so fckign bizarre. charlie has the same level of dogged cluelessness about the obj of his affection’s true feelings, so it didnt occur to me to see mac touching dennis’ knee or stuff of that variety as being any different ig or as making fun of queers or watevr. if i am wrong/misunderstanding i apologize. i have never considered mac from that perspective before.
honestly i kinda get the complaints. i’ve never rly thought rcg all have 10000% pure intentions with the insensitive kind of humor they are into, no matter their loophole justifications for shit. sometimes i almost believe their reasoning and do basically understand but it still seems flimsy when you considers stuff like the blackface stuff which is indeed kind of funny at times mainly bc the joke is the absurdity of it all, like mac in the shower with the brown dripping off him like he’s melting; it’s not funny at the expense of black ppl but more so at the expense of how goddam stupid and unaware mac is. i havent seen the blackface/brownface ones in years sos i dont have a whole lot to say excepe they seemed to be clearly against using blackface as the moral while still using it to get laughs. so. really honestly i don’t know that it’s Liderally Ever edgy white people’s call to use something like blackface regardless of context, regardless of their obvious intent? i dunno i have tried to find Black ppls opinions online a couple times but struggled to find any tangible results. the only other thing i have to say with ym white person words is that i think it’s stupid that the streamig companies take down all insensitive episodes like theyre trying to brush them under the rug and pretend it never happened in wake of a changing political climate. i get it, but kinda just seems like corporate scrambling ie disney getting ridof all of song of the south but still profiting from splash mountain eprhaps. something seems dodgy to me about pretending it doesnt exist anymore just to cover their asses. i understand the sentiment i guess but i dont think that’s really the main goal of the BLM movement, to purge streaming services of any questionable/racially insensitive/Fully Racist material; there’s surely more important things at the top of the lists besids Good Branding . im not sure if that makes sense
also a lot of episodes the joke is the blatant but somehow woefully oblivious homoerotic overtones present between the guys, like a Lot of the time. it is very funny though is the thing and a lot of thm are my favorites. i dunno. i also thought hte pooping transgender bit was pretty funny mainly cause it was absurd. i think maybe because i have my own what i think are reaosnable and empathetic views about certain stuff like queer shit it doesnt necessarily occur to me that they are trying to make fun of queer people.. like people make fun of conservative fans for having completely missed the point of it all being satire, and wat if i am being tricked to into assuming rcg has kind intentions and isnt trying to make fun of queer people just cause the thought didnt occur to me? instead of taking all the gay subtext serious- WHICh i Do, i should probably be more aware that to rcg it is just a bit and not really that deep. but mac and dennis were totally fucjing in s5 canonically. anwyays like aside from the carmen shit which is handled So Fuckign Bad and it makes me so upset cause i actually love carmen they were just very clearly not bothered with actually representing trans people accurately. so in the bathroom one if even fuckin dee reynolds is like, saying a trans woman in a woman’s bathroom is obviously normal.. it seems like they’d rectified some of their previous Very flawed rhetoric surrounding trans women (ie the whole “u slept with me when i was still a man” line. makes me cringe a bit ebery time)u get wat i mean?? not that it atones for it obviously. i love carmen she desreved better
butreallt i dont have any like. Pure Faith in rcg to be super accountable or honest about their intentions or to have the most accurate or agreeable beliefs or whataver. theyre just fucking about really because they can without any lashback. and people i think like being able to laugh at offensive shit thru scenarios which supposedly distance you from bigots/evil people and make u feel better about yourself watching these dumbass evil people talk slime. when like. glenn yelling supposedly arabic-sounding gibberish for example: it is funny in this context not just cause it’s wildly inappropriate and absurd but also because there’s prob significant amt of people who actually dont have an issue with it who could watch it and not have that takeaway whatsoever. i dont kno wt im talking about anymore btu honestly if youre trying to watch a show that isnt rife throughout with controversial/offensive/insensitive language and story beats, i dont know why you would try to stomach it with sunny. like for gods sake they used blackface more than once! i dunno man

I’d call these more, my own interpretations instead of just OCs
I’ll tell you how this happened tho, i was literally just comin back from a l o n g ass road trip listenin to the musical and my tired lil brain started thinkin bout these boys and i was like ...what if i just,, made my o w n versions of em? What if I just,, and then boom, out popped well, this-
| Names: Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde
| Nicknames: Jekyll doesn’t much care for nicknames but Hyde calls him Jek, Hen or Hen-Hen, or Henny which he REALLY hates. For the other, it’s either Ed or just simply Hyde ...Jekyll has given him many ‘nicknames’ mostly they are hateful ones tbh.
| Genders: Henry goes by he/him and Hyde goes by he/him and it/its
| Ages: Unknown but they are both adults
| Heights: Jekyll is 5’7” and Hyde is like 6’6” for sure (even tho they inhabit the same body, fuck it, im makin the rules ..andchangingthemfromtheogthing but i say height changes when Hyde’s in control)
| Species/Races: Henry’s a human ofc and Hyde? Honestly, idk what this thing is, all i can tell you is he’s stinky
| Eye Colors: Jekyll’s eyes are a Baby Blue color and Hyde’s eyes are Blood Red (ooh e d g y man)
| Hair Colors: Jekyll’s hair is honestly a messy curly undercut and the color of it is a dark brown and he has gray on the sides meanwhile Hyde’s hair is Black and in a spiked quiff style and he also has gray on the sides
| Skin Colors/Body Types: Jek’s a BIT pale but Hyde’s a much more- his skin is definitely more so a Whitish Gray kinda color so it’s definitely more noticeable than Jek’s skin if you look close enough at that (things do have to change when a certain one is in control of the body, can’t be EXACTLY the same or else it might give away that their the same person hehe) and their body types don’t really change- Jek’s body type is skinny (nothing TOO bad ofc, just a tad bit) if Hyde had his own body he’d definitely be a more average kinda bulkier build.
| Appearances: Okay first things first- they both have circle beards EXCEPT Hyde’s is a LOT more scruffier (he also has thicker sideburns btw!) and a BIT more grown out than Jek’s which is trimmed a bit more and groomed perfectly.
Jekyll usually has the typical lab coat on and a baby blue turtleneck underneath it, he also has blue pants that he wears with it as well and some oxford shoes that match the outfit, he also wears circle glasses as well (they help him see a lot better p much whereas when Hyde’s in control he doesn't really need em actually) Henry has a GOOD amount of scars all over his body, whether it be by accident, inflicted on purpose, or something more… It’s partially why he keeps his turtleneck on mostly and the lab coat helps as well- he’s ashamed of the scars and he tries to hide them especially so no one will worry about him, also for some more minor details- he wears a black watch on his wrist as well (he has no piercings or nothin like that) that’s p much it for Jek tbh, his features are p much 100% human so uh yeye
Now onto Hyde’s outfit- And yes, keep in mind- he’s still kinda,, an entity or whatever the fuck he is inside Henry’s body essentially but he DOES change his clothes when going out- his main one for going out is usually a black cloak he wears around himself (the outfit underneath is a black suit vest with a long dark red tie (his shirt underneath the suit vest is a dark red long sleeved shirt), he also wears black pants, and dark red oxford shoes, and of course he’s got a black top hat on (the band on it is red, definitely keeping a black n red themed appearance here aint he?) (his other outfits, hm I can leave up to the imagination tbh this is just for when he’s travelling around and so other people don’t spot him nearly as easily, especially when it’s n i g h t t i m e…) he’ll wear whatever the fuck he wants, and it doesn’t have to be fancy in the s l i g h t e s t- he has a variety of options.
He also has pointed ears, razor sharp teeth (got them bear trap teeth but not only that, he’s got a lot more s e c r e t teefs than that ;) he’s a lot more monstrous on the inside than the outside i’ll say that much, Jek’s n Hyde’s anatomy does change and transform depending on who gains control ...honestly it probs hurt to have your body transform and shift like that ouchie) he also has multiple tongues, he has claws that he painted black and red for the a e s t h e t i c s ya know- and hell at this point he might as well have tentacles ...He might- but I mean if you really wanna know, fuck around and find out for yourself and fuck it- he also has a dark red devil style tail since he wanna act like fuckin Satan himself smh
...I made him a lot more monstrous than originally planned but eh its fitting- bc this is Jek’s body even with a LOT of changes in these regards, he’s got the same scars n such as that, he also wears black and red spiral gauges in his ears (I should also say, he can technically hide these features to make himself appear more human, i didnt originally intend on giving him any actual monstrous features except maybe sharp teeth, claws, n the pointed ears but here we are, he still gotta not arouse suspicion around him too much tho) also his eyes have dark circles around them, not because he’s a tired man he’s just a fucking- hellish bastard who loves to look intimidating.
| Personalities: Let’s uhh start off with Jekyll because he’s better and nicer and not nasty and gross n smelly looking- He’s kind, sweet, compassionate, caring, honestly wouldn’t hurt a fly himself- could never willingly hurt someone! A sweet babey man! He’s very intelligent- I mean,, he IS a Doctor after all, he takes pride in his work but it’s not that overbearing narcissistic type pride, he’s just proud of the breakthroughs he’s made ...Granted, there is one “breakthrough” he wished he could take back .. -glancing slowly at Hyde in the reflection of the mirror- ahem- but he’s always been pretty outgoing but a lot has changed since, that abomination came into his life, sure he still tries his best to be a good person, he tries his very damnedest to find some sorta way to separate or better yet a way to destroy this evil vile beast that plagues his and everyone else’s lives! He’d rather destroy Hyde than separate from him because even then, it's still back to square one only with worse damage since he’d be of his own free will now.
He shuts himself away in his Lab a LOT, as much as he can anyways to avoid going out and risking something more happening to anyone else, of course…
There is no avoiding the outside world forever, he needs things to eat and drink, he needs things to keep his body functioning and not to mention not going outside could drive him, well, more insane than he already feels he is- He just tries to be as quick as he can about it before the other takes control or tries to, Jek definitely has a lotta anxieties and fears, and ya know at this point I mean,, hell- the man’s got trauma- Sometimes he wonders if any of this is actually real, if he had just gone insane and was just imagining all this, sometimes his head hurt because of all the thoughts and potential scenarios along with their outcomes plagued his mind, he feels a lot of things he never thought he’d feel towards anyone, he feels anger and hatred toward Hyde but in a way aside from feeling so negatively toward the other, he can’t help but admire the way Hyde wishes to just simply l i v e, and even before this beast became apart of him… He was always anxious deep down and almost scared to take that jump when needed.
But Hyde? Hyde doesn’t seem to even c a r e! That thing lives it’s life without any care whatsoever, he doesn’t have any anxieties or fears at all it seems! In a way, Henry might even be a lil envious toward the other’s carefree attitude and that he’s free of anxieties and fears ...H-He still doesn’t want the other around, he still wishes to destroy Hyde of course, even with the envy and maybe a slight bit of admiration he has his morals and principals, and if Hyde continues to exist or w o r s e gets his own body it could prove v e r y perilous.
Now onto… Eugh, Hyde- The bastard man himself- He’s stinky- an evil bastard who really needs just a good punch in the face (god don't do it yourself tho, he’ll probs eat ur entire arm) Hyde’s absolutely disgusting, will do ANYTHING to get what he desires, he can be narcissistic in some regards, VERY prideful and greedy in many ways, he isn’t above committing murder like really, was he EVER above it? If he wanted, he’d literally murder you not even for a bag of corn chips but literally just one, psh- selling you to satan for one? Bah that’s amateur’s work! He’s somehow a minor inconvenience who can commit REALLY nasty and horrible atrocities at the same time if he feels like it, if he finds out something annoys you or REALLY pisses you off he’s going to keep doing it, he will literally try driving you insane just for the fun of it, really at this point it doesn’t seem like he HAS much of a goal but to just l i v e and cause chaos, destruction, and mayhem wherever he goes, he despises Jekyll in many ways, one being for trying to destroy him first and foremost but also Henny is just s o fucking weak, such a weak man with far too many anxieties, fears, etc- He’d be SO much better of a man if he’d simply let Hyde take control and STAY in control!
It’d make everything a lot easier, then Jek wouldn’t have to worry about ANYTHING ever again! No more of that pathetic nonsense! If it were possible, Hyde would absolutely l o v e to have his own body, separate from Jekyll, that way he could have his own life separate from that pathetic weakling’s! But… Even then, Jekyll and Hyde are one, in many ways they are absolutely apart of one another, two sides of the same coin, even with their MAJOR differences in personality and Hyde almost seeming like an entirely different entity just merely possessing Jekyll, after all, Hyde will admit it himself, he spawned from deep within Jekyll’s mind, he’s tried to get the other to see time and time again that he’s always been apart of the other deep down, Jek’s always had a more mad and evil side to him! Even if the other will deny this and take the denial to his grave, Hyde always persists in trying to get the other to see the truth in front of his eyes!
Aside from that tho, Hyde is just generally a dick and loves to mess with Jek and terrify him sometimes for literally no reason, hell he could be bored one day and decide “Hey Henny, fuck you, you suck” he loves to start drama, he loves to cause problems on purpose- Both of them would give anything to separate from each other, even if Hyde knows the truth deep down bout the both of them, even if he were always originally a part of Jekyll, it didn’t matter, that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to get his own body, away from that pathetic coward of a man!
| Side Facts: Jekyll rarely ever gets to relax or any free time, he’s too worried to give himself that in fear he’ll lose control, he’s almost CONSTANTLY fighting to keep control over the other, even though he knows it's physically impossible to do so, after all, he can’t stay awake forever, sure that doesn’t stop him from trying to stay awake as long as he can before his body practically forces him to pass out and he’s MUCH weaker than he used to be, I mean hell, given how long Jekyll seems to have been around, fighting SO much and almost EVERY single day has practically worn his body down but whenever there is an opportunity for any “free” time he usually spends it trying to figure out an antidote or a way to get rid of Hyde (I will say, before Hyde REALLY started doing bastardous n horrendous things, Jek would still get annoyed with him bc he was always that way but he actually, I’d say tolerated him more so than he does by now) and Hyde even- well, he still disliked Henry IMMENSELY so, but he definitely wasn’t as bad or as awful as he is to the other now, it was more so I tolerate you and we dont have to seriously fight or struggle with each other for control and back then Jek would even sometimes let Hyde have control.
But then… A serious incident (I wont name what exactly) but a serious incident that happened caused the two to absolutely despise each other (i didnt say up there, yes, Hyde absolutely despises Jekyll but there is some heavily hidden admiration in regards to the other’s determination, his persistence, and even somewhat of his creativity, Jekyll despite being an annoying nuisance in Hyde’s way, he does have some admirable things about him) but anyway- ever since that incident occurred, Jek has tried almost EVERYTHING he knew of to get rid of Hyde, even if separation from his body would still be bad bc that could mean Hyde would obtain his own body honestly? I believe Jekyll would still take that opportunity if he were given it, if he needed, he’d try and find someway to stop Hyde’s evil, maybe it’d be easier even if the other had his own body, he didn’t know, he just wishes he could be free from all this torment and agony like gosh damn give this man a b r e a k. Give him some fruit gummies and an appy juice carton and leave him be!
When Hyde is in control he wastes little time in finding things to do, being able to be out, to see the world, the world ripe for chaos and destruction, he wastes little time in getting straight to work with whatever his devious lil mind wants to think of- also for more monstrous purposes, back up there, I was p vague with the mention of teeth on his insides- p much teeth going down his throat and hell who knows, the bastard probably has teeth on the inside of his stomach at this rate- Another not so fun fact, this man can unhinge his jaw! Yaaay so u can see sharp teefs! ...He does have to kinda set his jaw back in place though bc god forbid Jek takes control then.
Smh imagine taking back control of your body only to have a fucking dislocated j a w wouldn’t that be hellish?
Hyde rarely ever does this for a few reasons- he only does it if he’s in the mood for just takin a big chomp outta someone (big chompy) just, just please- lock this thing away- or kill it, it's a menace to society and deserves nothing good- two more things btw, tbh I genuinely wasnt even considering inhuman features at first but ya know, I compromised- he has them he just chooses to hide them more often and speaking of, while Hyde says he’s always been apart of Jekyll (well this version I made anyway) that deep down their two sides of the same coin, can you really believe him? I mean, I’m not going to spoil it and tell ya anything in that regard, but who knows, who knows what Hyde REALLY is, whether or not he’s always been apart deep down inside of Jek or just some form of entity that spawned via that wonderful little formula.
And the final thing is, their voices are p much based on the musical ones' voices- Hyde’s is that deeper n raspier kinda voice while Jek’s is much softer and ya know POLITE sounding.

Heating Repair And Regular Upkeep Tips
There are a few ways to maintain your furnace system. Odds are, during wintertime months your furnace runs all day trying to keep the home warm. furnace systems commonly run longer than needed, due to incorrect controls. When troubleshooting and improving the heating segment of your furnace system, there are several things to look at.
The Air Filter
This subject is what gets talked about probably the most in conversations about heating maintenance, but is usually disregarded. When there is a obstruction, you either run the risk of not disbursing heat effectively or perhaps igniting a fire.When the air conditioner filter becomes dirty air will not flow through either which means the unit must work overtime and will also mean a risk of fire. If the system is not circulating heat properly, it will be working harder. The fire concern is obviously self-explanatory. Neither scenario is good for the pocket book or your well-being..
Try The Blower
Look at your blower blades and clean them. If you find any build-up of dirt and dust, your fan will work overtime to blow the air out, and the furnace will be overexerting itself. This means the system is over taxed and costing extra money to run.
Fire Damper Function
Be sure to look at your fire damper for proper functioning. This will ensure that the risk of fire is minimal and the system will work more efficiently.
Look For Holes In The Flex Duct
It is feasible that your ducts have become impaired over the years for various reasons. If a duct has collapsed or become stopped up, your system will believe that the right temperature has been reached, which will be false. When this will happen the system works too much to do its job but is going to be unable to reach the desired tempurature.
Band Insulation
Insulation is often overlooked but is among the most prevalent reasons why an furnace system fails. Be sure to check the insulation and validate it has not become wobbly and caused gaps involving the ductwork and the outside. If this happens, your system will not reach optimum temperatures and will work overtime to attempt to accommodate.
Air Ducts Need To Be Sealed
See that your ductwork has not become detached from other sections. These detachments may cause spaces in the ventilation and cause a loss of heated air in your house, since it will be getting out through the holes.
Check For Leaks In The Return Air Inlets And Zone Dampers
Be certain to make sure return air intakes are dirt free and in good shape or your system will be unbalanced. Check out the zone dampers to see if they are in the right place. During the year we may change the position of the damper for many reasons (i.e. getting into a tight space or making room for storage). Check to notice that the dampers are in the correct position too.
If that is a tad too much to handle by yourself, we suggest you hire an area plumbing contractor certified for furnace and heating repair. You will find a number of heating contractors around you who can take care of all of this quite competently. For optimum results you can set up annual maintenance for furnace and your heating people will call every year to take care of it.

7 Home Heating System Types
It can be hard to let go of your old heating system and commit to a new one you hardly know. If you have an aging unit that needs replacement, however, it can be exciting to see the variety of heating technologies available as replacement options. All of these systems come in different models and sizes to accommodate your home. Consult a professional HVAC company for more information on installing or replacing a new heating system.
1. Furnace (forced air distribution system)
With a furnace (usually powered with gas), air is forced through a series of ducts. This distributes heated, conditioned air throughout the home. While furnaces can heat the air with electricity, propane, or oil, most U.S. homes utilize natural gas.
Gas furnaces are the most popular type of heating system since the forced air distribution system (ductwork) can be used by your air conditioner during the summer months.
2. Boiler (Radiator distribution system)
Boilers are another common heating system. They send hot water or steam through pipes to provide heating. While this enables you to practice zoned heating and cooling, they are also significantly more expensive to install and cost more money to run.
The reason why furnaces and boilers are known as central heating systems are because the heat is generated in a central area of the home and then distributed throughout the house.
3. Heat Pump
Heat pumps can be used to both heat and cool the home. They use refrigerant and electricity to transfer heat rather than generating it directly like a gas furnace. As a result, they are often much more efficient than other types of heating systems. Unfortunately, they work best in moderate climates where temperatures rarely dip below freezing.
4. Hybrid Heating
Hybrid heating combines the energy efficiency of a heat pump with the power of a gas furnace. Most of the time, the heat pump will operate to heat and cool your home. It is only during extreme temperatures that the furnace kicks on.
And since you aren’t just relying on one system, you will reduce significant strain on both units, thus significantly reducing the need for repairs and replacements.
5. Ductless Mini-Splits
By getting rid of the need for lots of air ducts, mini-split units allow you to create separate HVAC zones, each with a separate thermostat. This is very helpful in larger homes and add-on areas that don’t have ductwork installed.
6. Radiant Heating
Radiant heating sends hot water or electric heat through special tubes located in the floor (and sometimes in the ceiling or walls). The heat can be generated by oil, gas, propane, or electricity.
While the radiant heating distribution system can last a long time, repairs can become very expensive if a problem arises. The lifespan of radiant heat is dependent on its heat source system.
Learn more about the different types of heating systems.
In addition to the type of heating system you install, learn what else should affect your decision-making.
7. Baseboard Heaters
Usually reserved as supplemental heating or heating in an add-on, baseboard heating can be an effective and affordable choice. You have two choices when it comes to baseboard heating: electric or hydronic. Speak with your HVAC contractor for more information on baseboard heaters.

this is the anon who asked for you age? i wanted to know bc i'm 17 and i want to get into fic writing, but i'm under confident in my writing abilities. and while i understand that you can write fic at any age, i also want to write Good Fic and you write so welll. so ig a better question should have been how long have you been writing for? bc bloom is the first fic you've posted on ao3 and your tumblr looks fairly new? but everything you write is stellar. do you have any tips?
age anon continued: what is your writing process? how do you come up with your ideas? how do you plan? do you start with description or dialogue? ooh and on another topic what is your favorite thing to write?
Oh! I see!  Okay, I will say, there isn’t that large of an age gap in between us, so I wouldn’t even worry about that! 
This is going under a cut, because I think it will get long.
So, I wrote some fic when I was in middle school and then kind of got out of it when I lost confidence in my writing.  I stopped for like, four/five years (with the exception of essays for school–lots and lots and lots of essays, which is writing practice, I guess, but a very different type of writing), and just picked it up again this year.  I wrote bits and pieces for a tododeku fic that never really went anywhere back in the fall (though I really would love to pick it up again, I had a lot of fun stuff going on there, and there were aspects of it that I honestly think turned out a lot better-written than BiW) and then in January I started Bloom in Winter!  And now I’m here.
So I mean, I didn’t really have much practice doing creative writing over the past couple years, which sucks, I wish I did, but I did READ a lot.  I read a lot of really, really well-written stuff, both fic and published books.  And I think I developed really distinct tastes as I did?  I figured out exactly what stuff I liked in other peoples’ writing (both in terms of tropes and style, as well as like grammar/structure/etc.)?  I read a lot of stuff with powerful imagery and a lot of stuff that was crazy abstract.  
So for myself, I guess I would say that I got most of my grammar/spelling skills from writing a lot of essays in school, and then any skill I have at making Words Sound Nice I got just from? Reading a lot and thinking about what other people did that worked for me?  Especially if there’s a specific part or passage that really fucking sticks in your mind.  Read that section again and again and figure out what made you like it.  Did it make you feel a certain way?  HOW did they?  It’s more than just words and imagery–sentence structure and length will play a role in it too.
Ah, my writing process varies, I guess?
I came up with the idea for Bloom in Winter because I was thinking about the concept of Villain!Izuku, and I was thinking about how divisive it is in the fandom, and I was thinking to myself about how, exactly, I–as someone who isn’t personally that into villain AUs–would be interested in seeing the trope done.  And it grew from there.  Then, I had a mental image.  Even before I had any of the fic planned, I was thinking about Izuku, in oversized hoodies and a dark green scarf, with a scar twisting its way down his back.  Once I had a basic scenario, I actually just fucking went for it?  The first 75% of chapter two was the first thing I ever wrote for this fic?  And I have personally found that writing actually gives me more ideas?  Like, you  might start an idea not knowing where you want to go, and then find your path?  So after I wrote that 75% of Ch 2, I went back and did Chapter 1.  Vicious was inspired by a book of the same name, written by VE Schwab, for a variety of reasons (the basis for his power for for certain components of his personality come from a couple different characters in the book, and I named him Vicious as a more direct reference), and then once that happened things started to kind of fall into place?  A lot of the pivotal scenes came naturally after that–the situation with Aizawa, the big reveal, how I’m going to handle OFA, and the roughly the note the fic is going to end on.
And that’s about all the outline I have?  I have a general endpoint, as well as certain scenes I want to hit and subplots I want to cover, but I don’t have a chapter-by-chapter outline?  Which might come back to bite me in the ass later, I can’t be sure.  I’ll typically type up a vague outline of what I want to happen in a chapter just before I write that chapter (and I mean. Vague.  My outline for Ch 6 looked like ‘Midoriya and Shinsou scene? Somehow? -> Midoriya has meeting with Hisashi, make as awk. as possible -> Midoriya and Yagi meet again? Midoriya goes to Yagis place somehow.  -> league of villains meeting’).
And then I often find what happens is that while I’m writing earlier scenes, I’ll come up with ideas for later scenes and then can add them to my outline as I go?
My only other tip for coming up for ideas is? Don’t be afraid to look for inspiration in other pieces of media?  My demon AU that I’m working on (which didn’t really kick off until I started writing it, and I got more ideas) draws inspiration–either aesthetic, or story, or lore-building wise from *takes deep breath* Blue Exorcist, Raven from DC, Constantine, Harry Potter, and DnD.  (That sounds like a weird amalgamation, I’m sure.  I swear it’s not.  Technically the AU itself is a Blue Exorcist!/Raven!AU, but the mood/tone of the fic is 100% Constantine inspired, as are parts of Izuku’s characterization.  The society/magic system is a sort of mesh of DnD and HP.)
Anyways….wow, that got long.  I hope it helps, though?

↠ Members: Joshua x reader
↠ Genre: fluff, soulmate au
↠ Word count: 3000+
Tumblr media
You were a star in the night sky. You were situated far from the world, but you saw it all. Everything. People that you liked to watch, and people that liked to watch you. You also heard it all. You heard things as small as ants screaming when they were stepped on. And like all other stars, you heard voices.
You heard the voices of people that wished on you. Usually, they would wish on the brightest star. The brighter the star, the longer it hasn’t been wished on; it needs to be noticed, so it is made brighter. Yes it’s fun watching the world, but every star needs to do their part. 
You had been a dull star for quite some time but tonight, the man in the moon made you brighter because of that. You hadn’t been wished on in the longest time. When a star was wished on, that person would be sent down to the location of the person that made the wish, and wouldn’t be let back up until they completed the wish. Normally there was no time limit, as long as you worked hard.
You had a favourite person. He motivated you to work hard and keep nice whenever you were cast down to Earth. His name was Joshua. He had a favourite star; the one that stood right beside the moon. But he couldn’t see it tonight. 
You never expected that he would wish on you instead.
Joshua liked going on walks at night when nobody else was around. He would look up at the stars sometimes. He smiled wider when the sky was otherwise clear and he could see more of them. Your friends would tease you when they saw him too. 
Sometimes he would look up as he walked, sometimes he would make a point to lay on a blanket on this one rooftop he went on so much. He could spend more time looking up at the sky that way. Of course, he had no idea that stars were people too, so he stared for as long as possible. He gazed solely at you one night.
“Is this how stars explode?” you asked yourself. Your friend heard and giggled.
You found yourself growing excited. The man in the moon had made you brighter. Someone would wish on you. You just hoped Joshua would before anyone else had the chance to. 
You were watching him again tonight. He took a walk to a cafe near where you saw he lived. Why he lived with so many other boys his age confused you, but you decided not to question it.
He went inside and sat at a table in the corner, looking out one window while leaning his back against the other. He was scouting the sky for the brightest star he could find, which just so happened to be you. 
When people wish on a star, they hear their voice loud and clear even if their wish is said in the person’s head. This was the first time you would hear his voice. 
He wished for all his friends to be happy. He said that lately it was a stressful time for everyone.
Suddenly, he sees the brightest star disappear from the sky and finds his lips forming into a pout. The next thing you know, you are standing on the road of the same cafe Joshua is in. Going inside, you look over at him. Your knees shake a little as you walk. 
He doesn’t notice you though. He’s too distracted with the stars still up there, shining bright. You order a small drink and sit a couple tables away from him. The cashier must have been one to wish on stars too. People that don’t believe in wishing on stars can’t see one when it’s human.
Two more people come in the door, one much taller than most people, and the other being average height but with longer hair. You’re taken aback by how tired they look. Both of them are dragging their feet and have obvious dark circles under their eyes. They manage to smile when they see Joshua though, and sit at the same table he is at. These must be his friends.
They start talking about things and all these other people and you listen in. They talk fast and you wish you could ask them to slow down, but soon enough, you have twelve other names memorized. They talked as though they were familiar with all of them, so you assumed that those were all of his friends.
You finished your drink before they finished their conversation, but you still stayed a while. You attempted folding the napkin on the table into a swan to pass the time. You were waiting for them to leave first.
Once they left, you followed far enough behind that it wouldn’t be noticeable, but close enough so you didn’t lose track of them. You recognized the path as heading towards the building that they all lived in. You knew it was right to just let them be. 
As a star you never slept and as a human you could but it wasn’t needed, so you got to work with granting his wish; you began wandering around, doing what you could do to find out what would make his friends happy.
After taking a day to wander around and know more about the boys, only listening in while hidden in case of one seeing you, you learned a small bit more. Still not enough to fulfill the wish, but some is better than none.
During your second night on earth, you wanted to see something. What Joshua saw from his point of view on the rooftop. How all the other stars looked from such a distance.
You made your way to the company building, finding access to get inside easily; locked doors weren’t locked to a star. You could get into any locked thing. But if that privilege is abused, you lose it. So you never abused it.
Once you were in the staircase, you heard music coming from below. You had planned to go up, but the music drew you closer. You wanted to see what it was for, or who it was for. 
Once down the stairs, you caught sight of their practice room. The door was merely cracked open, but the sound still poured out. You watched through the small space available, wanting to hide again, just in case.
You saw a single member dancing as if struggling to remember a routine showed to him. Or a routine he taught himself. Maybe he was the choreographer. But you still couldn’t match a name to the face.
You were watching through the crack in the door when you heard the sound from the single speaker crack before growing fuzzy, then going out completely. It was only the one speaker that was playing music, and the boy was obviously upset that it cut out and he couldn’t continue. 
You sigh and take a chance by sticking your head and hand in the room and waving. He was practically facing your way, but he took no notice of your actions. He sighs too and shakes his head, running a hand through his hair that is coated with sweat, and comes towards the door. He calls for a ���Mingyu,” which you remember to be the tall one from the cafe. 
He pulls the door open and walks right through you and down the hallway before turning and heading up the stairs. Now you’re sure he couldn’t see you.
You go in the practice room, closing the door behind you just in case someone came in and could see you. You stare at the speaker for a moment and tilt your head. You think of the simplest possible way to fix something; you hit it once on its side. The sudden blare of the song continuing startles you, but you nod, proud afterwards.
“My job here is done.”
You turn and head out of the practice room, your past plan of laying on top of the building somehow slipping out of your mind as you go outside to walk along the road again. After walking for a few minutes, hanging your head low and lowering your guard along with it, you nearly slam into somebody. At the last second, you notice their body in front of yours and move to the side. Not like you needed to, they would have probably walked right through you anyway.
You look up as you notice the feeling of their arm brushing against you. 
They mumble a small “sorry” and look back at you. You look at them too. At him. It was Joshua.
You had a good reason to stop and stare; this was the boy you watched from trillions of kilometers away, and now he was right in front of you. But he was staring at you too, and making his way closer to you.
“Can I help you?” you ask shyly, not looking away from him.
“I can’t help but feel like I know you,” he responds. With your heart racing and face heating up, you start growing confused. You had imagined this moment of meeting him over and over. Now that it was happening, you were blank. You found yourself merely nodding before scurrying off.
The morning after meeting him, you were still thinking about him. He was always on your mind anyway, but the encounter just made it more so. 
You headed out early to take a bit of time for yourself before getting back to work with granting the wish. You were walking along, looking through the markets along the roads nearby and at the variety of items they have for sale. 
“I knew I would see you again.”
You nearly drop the wooden figurine you were holding when you heard his voice behind you. Taking a moment to first hold your composure, you turn around and meet his eyes with yours, smiling slightly. He returns the smile and comes up beside you, taking hold of the figurine that was now sitting on the tabletop. 
“How much is this?” he asks.
“Joshua, you don’t need to get it for me-” he cuts you off.
“Please, I want to,” he replies and places it back down, taking out his wallet. “How do you know my name?”
“You told me last night.” You felt bad for lying to him, but this way made more sense. He nodded. He must have forgotten what happened if he took your word for it. 
He thanked the person who worked at the makeshift market you were at once they handed him back the wrapped figurine. It was also put in a bag, then he handed it over to you. You were hesitant to take it, but you did.
“Are you sure we never met before last night?” he asks, picking up where he left off from yesterday. You only respond with nodding, once again. His lips form into a pout as he starts to think, still feeling as though he knows you.
You do know me, you talk to me all the time, you think to yourself. But the chances of telling him who you truly were are close to none; he may believe you were crazy, and you did not want that.
You spent a while walking around with him. You knew he was an open, friendly person, and being able to experience it first-hand was unimaginable to you. But, you inspected the other markets with him, stopping to purchase things from only a couple, including one that sold delectable snacks. 
You ended up spending hours together. After the markets, you two took a small trek to a nearby park with smooth, cement paths that led to a pond. The trees surrounding were very few, but pretty nonetheless. You two sat on a bench together, watching the water flow about.
Joshua asked where you were from. You were able to speak both English and Korean with him as well as other languages pretty well; you had learned a lot from listening from the sky. You claimed that you had been to many places in your life, which wasn’t completely a lie. Really, you stay in one spot and listen to the world. But that counts.
In the time that you spend on Earth with the single intention of granting his wish, you and him happen to become closer. You become friends. It is only ever you two that spend time together though; you claim to be shy, but the truth is that you know at least one of his friends cannot see you. It would be odd if Joshua were to introduce you to them but they saw nobody; you wanted to avoid that situation.
Because it was only ever you two, you grew accustomed to each other. He missed you when he was not with you. It did not take him long to realize that. And it did not take him long to realize it may mean you are someone he connects with well. 
You two had known each other for nearly four months now. You had grown accustomed to him, but also to delaying. You were delaying completing his wish because you were too caught up in him; you didn’t want to leave.
The man in the moon had a talk with you one night. He said he noticed how you were acting. He reminded you that he watches the stars that get cast down to Earth. He warned you that if you did not get back to work, there would be major consequences, ones of which he didn’t even bother to name.
What surprised you was the time limit that you were given. The man in the moon said that you only had another week to complete the wish because you were slacking off so much, and you were close to being finished any way. You asked what he meant; the twelve of Joshua’s friends all seemed happy lately, or as happy as they could be with their stressful careers.
The man in the moon said you had to make Joshua happy as well. You thought he already was. Whenever you two were together, he was laughing and smiling, genuinely. He compared others to things made of beauty, like flowers and sunshine, and the stars. He compared you to them as well.
But all you knew was how he was when you were right beside him. You did not know how he was without you.
The next time you met Joshua after the talk the moon had with you, you went to the same pond as before. The one you went to on the first day of meeting him. Sat on the same bench as always. Out of the blue, you decided to ask him.
“Joshua? What would make you happy?” He turns to you with a questioning look.
“What do you mean? I am happy.” 
“I can tell you aren’t. I- I have a way of knowing these things,” you say after a brief pause. The pause that follows your words is even longer. Maybe he needed time to think about what would make him happy. Maybe he only now realized that he wasn’t.
“To hold your hand,” you hear him admit. His voice was as quiet as the breeze that pushed it away, but you could still hear him. It was such a small request. 
You take your hand off of your lap which it was resting, folded with your own other hand. Then, you reach over and fold it with his instead. He didn’t expect you would actually do that; his whole body jerked in surprise when he felt your hand on his. He watched as you intertwined your fingers with his. His usual loud self was now suddenly so shy.
But you knew this wasn’t making him happy. Sure he was flattered and a little flustered, and happy in the moment. But it was only for a moment. 
“What would make you happy?” you ask him again. He takes time to think. Or rather, rebuild his confidence in his voice, which still spoke as quiet as ever.
“If you allowed me to kiss you.”
No, you thought to yourself. Has he blossomed feelings for me? I have- I can’t stay. No.
You knew it was a bad idea. You wanted to but, you knew that if you did kiss him, you would have to leave. You would have lead him on. You would have to leave, you had no choice. But ultimately, it was your job to make him happy no matter what you had to do.
Without any other thoughts, you did it. You leaned over to him and kissed him. Your eyes were closed, but you knew that his opened wider momentarily before closing as well. He kissed you back immediately. It was so soft and warm. 
You were not going to lie to yourself; you had thought about this moment millions of times over. You just wished that you wouldn’t have to leave after. But a star could not wish on a star.
You were the first to pull away from the kiss. Maybe the kiss was broken, but the eye contact stayed secure. You were both smiling at each other with flushed faces, his eyes looking particularly droopy and lovesick. You see his mouth move and hear his next words, but they are delayed. They didn’t match up.
“I think I love you.”
And suddenly, he doesn’t feel your hands on his any more. You don’t feel them either. He looks down and your gaze follows his. Your hands were turning transparent. 
He looks back up at your face, and that is becoming clear too.
“I have to go Joshua, I’m sorry.” He looks at you in utter confusion. His words become very rushed.
“What? What do you mean you have to go? What’s happening?” He reaches out in attempt to hold you, any part of you. But your entirety is disappearing.
You stand up, off of the bench. He reaches out for you once more, but his hands only pass right through you. Within only a few more seconds, you are no longer visible, but he still hears your voice.
“We’ll see each other again Joshua, just keep wishing on the stars.”

I'm not sure if this ask is good enough but maybe a scenario about Bad Boy!Oikawa and a person he's so interested in, but his charms don't work on them, they're oblivious, and they always seem unimpressed (they secretly like him back but do a great job hiding it from him). Sexual tension would be great but you can avoid NSFW if you want! I picked Oikawa bc I thought it'd be interesting to see him chasing someone so hard, feel free to swap characters if you want! Thanks ❤︎
Holy moly this ended up WAY longer than I planned and awhole lot more serious without much NSFW or even sexual tension but hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
She remembers him from high school, he can tell by the lookof shock on her face. He can’t really blame her though. Anyone from those dayswould be surprised to see Oikawa Tooru, former pretty boy of the Abojosaivolleyball team, sporting an arm sleeve tattoo, a lip piercing and wearingripped jeans.
Pushing away from the wall, he approaches, stride steady, aconfident smirk on his face. But just before he meets her eyes again, a girlinterjects herself between them. Tooru’s former tendency to indulge his fansexerts itself immediately, old habits do die hard, and by the time he’s donewith her the object of his initial focus is gone.
Clicking his tongue, Oikawa shifts his gaze over the crowdedfrat house. There’s people everywhere, the semester kickoff party in high gear.Finally, he spots her on the dance floor and goodness can she move that body!She’s grinding up on some dude who looks about ready to cum in his pants.Oikawa is openly staring at her, willing her to make eye contact but she’seither completely oblivious or completely uninterested because she never onceloses her focus on her dance partner.
And Oikawa decides right then he wants that attention onhim. Sure, he’s always been a bit of an attention whore, but who could blamehim coming from the environment he did back in high school? Other than Iwaizumiof course.
His eyes stay riveted on her, still moving fluidly, sexily,and fuck now he’s got a tent in his pants just from watching her! Then again,it’s been a while since Oikawa has had any action of the bedroom variety. Justbecause his team is rough and tough doesn’t mean they don’t work hard.
Terushima makes certain of it.
Oikawa laughs a bit to himself thinking back on their first officialmeeting. He’d only ever seen the guy at tournaments, his team loud and flashy,but horribly erratic. Then something happened that shifted his focus and inaddition to having fun, he got smarter. His whole team got smarter.
And now he’s Oikawa’s captain.
Shaking his head, Oikawa zeroes back in on her. She’s stilldancing, smiling with sultry eyes and moving her hips just so.
She can feel his gaze on her, its intensity rippling overher skin like electricity but she remains focused. He’s not going to havethings go his way, not tonight. Because she’s in control and he’ll just have todeal with it. The song ends and she leans up, pecking her dance partner quicklyon the cheek. He goes to make a move but she shies away, giggling, “Thatwas fun, thanks for the dance,” then she’s absorbed into the crowd but notwithout stealing a glance at Oikawa only to find him still looking right ather.
Damn. Well, she almost made it without giving him a piece ofthe attention he craved.
And it’s only wet his appetite for more.
The next day Oikawa is still thinking about her, her sultrysmile, her bedroom eyes. With a self-deprecating laugh, he realizes he has acrush! An honest to goodness crush. He can’t remember the last time this hashappened, where his attention was so fully fixed on anything besidesvolleyball. Practice over, he makes his way back to his dorm only to see hersitting beneath a tree reading, her eyes narrowed in concentration at the textbefore her. Calling up his best smile, Oikawa saunters towards her, onlyspeaking once he’s right in front of her seated position. “You know, you’re toopretty to be frowning, you look much better dancing.”
His voice startles her and he can’t stand how cute she lookshuddled in an oversized sweater, leggings and boots. Is this really the samegirl he saw last night? It’s the perfect fall look, her hair blowing in thesudden breeze that’s kicked up. A subtle shiver overtakes her body and heshrugs off his jacket. “Here,” he offers draping it over her shoulders.
Warmth spreads over her body and it’s not just from theplacement of his jacket. Oikawa is looking at her with complete focus. She’doften wondered what it would be like to have his gaze turned upon her and now,looking at it, she’s both enamored and afraid. How could a high school crushlast this long? Or did it just flare upquickly at the sight of him, a knee jerk reaction to Oikawa’s presence? Sherealizes she should be speaking, should be saying thank you not only for thejacket but the compliment paid her earlier but the words won’t come.
He really doesn’t remember her.
Oikawa tilts his head, a little confused as to why she stillhasn’t said anything when she suddenly shoots to a standing position. Swiftlyshe removes the jacket, handing it back to him. “Thank you, Oikawa-san, but Iwas just leaving. Have a good evening,” she says a bit rushed, hurrying away.
“Oi, dancer-chan!” he calls, easily catching up to andstanding in front of her. “I’m at a disadvantage here, you know my name but Idon’t know yours?”
Her eyes are on the ground, unwilling to meet his and he wonderswhat he did to offend her. When she finally looks up, he flinches; her eyes areso hard. “If my name didn’t matter to you then, why does it matter to you now?”
“Eh?”
“Never mind, I…I have to go.” She brushes past him, willingher legs to go faster. Why did she think it was a good idea to bait him at theparty? Because she didn’t really think he’d do anything, that’s why. She justwanted to frustrate him a little, but the fact that he stared at her the entiretime and now approached her yet again is doing uncomfortable things to herheart. It was stupid, she’s not this person! She isn’t someone who toys withother people! And why oh why does she even wantOikawa? He’d be nothing but trouble, even more so now that it appears hejoined a gang or something.
“You barely know her, in fact, you don’t know her at all so why are you making such a big deal out ofthis?” Iwaizumi yawns through his question, eyes closing as he lays on his bed,phone to his ear. Even when separated by hundreds of miles, Oikawa somehowfinds ways to annoy him. Like calling at one in the morning to lament about howa girl he has a crush on won’t even look at him, much less talk to him. “Lookslike you don’t always get what youwant, Trashy-kawa,” he adds with a snort.
“Shut up, Iwa-chan! You’re supposed to support me, not kickme while I’m down!”
“Stop whining, you’re giving me a headache,” grumbles hisformer ace.
Silence fills the line before Oikawa takes a deep breath.“I…I don’t know why completely. And,” he adds quickly before Iwaizumi can shootanother barb, “despite what you think it isn’tbecause she’s playing hard to get. More like impossible to get but whatever,”he mumbles making his best friend chuckle. “The point is,” he goes on with asigh, “I…I really want to get to know her but she won’t even give me a chance!”
“Oikawa, are you just pestering her? I mean, I know youthink you’re a bad ass now because you have ink and a piercing but you’re thesame alien obsessed, volleyball idiot you were in high school, the dressing’sjust different.”
“You know, sometimes I really wonder why I call you my bestfriend,” Oikawa grumbles.
“I wonder that too, but the point still stands. Why the helldid you do that shit in the first place anyway?”
Oikawa grits his teeth. How had the conversation shiftedfrom him getting advice (so embarrassing)on how to get a girl to go on at least one date with him, to Iwa-chancriticizing his choices? “Would you please stop acting like my freaking motherand just help me out here?” he grunts.
“Fine, what haveyou done?”
“I left her a couple notes, one at her job at the on-campusbookstore and one at her dorm when I found out where she lives. You know, just,“hey I’d like to get to know you, text me and we’ll make plans”. But she neverresponds. I offer to walk to her to class but she says no. I even tried to joina study group with her but she dropped out the next day. I just…I don’t know whyshe hates me!”
Iwaizumi sits up, rubbing his eyes; there’s no way he’s gettingto sleep anytime soon. “Tooru,” he says and he can hear his friend sit up straighter,“Have you considered the possibility that your advances, instead of beingwelcomed, are putting her on edge? You said she’s changed since you first sawher, what do you mean by that?”
“Um, well, the first time, like I told you, was at a party.She was dancing and, just, wow Iwa-chan, she was so hot! Like, my jeans were tight enough as it is but then she startedmoving those hips and-“
“TMI! Focus on the question, Shittykawa!”
“Sorry, sorry! Ok, so the second time and really every timesince then, she’s been very reserved. Like, she wears these adorably oversizedsweaters that flood past her knees with leggings and ankle boots and her hairis always a little messy cause it’s so damn windy around here this time ofyear. Oh! And she has this cute little pout when she’s really concentrating onsomething and taps her pencil when she’s thinking and-“
“You realize you sound more or less like a stalker, right?”Iwaizumi cuts in but his tone is gentler. He’s very aware now of just how muchthis girl has managed to get under Oikawa’s skin. Part of him hopes somethingdoes work out between the two of them simply so he could meet her one day andshake her hand. A girl who got the indominable Oikawa Tooru to sound like a love-sickpuppy? This was one for the books. 
“Iwa-chan,” Oikawa whines, “was there a point to thatquestion?”
“Oh right. Well, maybe the reason she isn’t responding isself-preservation.”
“What?! It’s not like I’m gonna hurt her or anything-“
“Oi! You and girls don’t have a good track record Oikawa!You can whine about it all you want, but it’s still the truth! If she knows youfrom high school, which it’s clear she does, your reputation is already set!And it sounds like you should know her if she was that upset you didn’trecognize her. Which is also not surprising since you always had your headstuck on volleyball!” Iwaizumi takes in a breath, knowing his words are going to hurt his friend but he needs to hear them and it always seems to fall on his shoulders to tell him hard truths. “And look at you! You’re projecting this “bad boy” imagethat is totally not who you are! But if she thinks it is, how could she not beleery? She probably thinks you’re just toying with her! Or maybe someone placed a bet! Unfair as it is, Tooru, people do cast judgement based on appearances and pastbehavior and both of yours are not doing you any favors.”
Oikawa inhales deeply, pain radiating through his chest. “Is…isthat what you really think of me, Iwa-chan?”
Iwaizumi groans, flopping onto his back. “No, because I know your crazy ass too well. I’mtelling you all this from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know you. Just, shit,” he rolls to his side, unsure exactlyhow to even help his friend, “if she doesn’t want to talk to you, maybe stop pushingthe issue? Give her some space to breathe.”
“I have! I don’t try this shit every day you know!”
“Then stop trying all together! Clearly it isn’t working sowhy continue to torture yourself like this? And for what? A girl you don’t evenknow?” Iwaizumi is at the end of his rope, tired of the circular formation ofthis conversation.
Oikawa sits silent in the dark of his dorm, but he nods. “You’reright, Iwa-chan. I…I just need to stop,” he finally agrees.
“Good. Ok, now, let me get some sleep asshole.”
Oikawa can’t help chuckling but before he says goodbye,Iwaizumi adds, “And I really am sorry.”
It’s been weeks since she last heard from Oikawa, hisdisappearance just as sudden as his appearance in her life. And though sheknows it’s the product of her own making, she can’t help feeling a bitdisappointed. Every time she believed she’d have the courage to reciprocate insome fashion, she lost her nerve, resulting in cold shoulders and brusque pushoffs of his advances. Really, she’s surprised he tried as many times as he did.
“I have no idea what’s wrong with you,” her roommate hadsnapped one day after she witnessed her friend practically running away fromOikawa,” he’s ridiculously hot and so into you, it’s a little sad. Why won’tyou go out with him?”
“I…it’s just, complicated, ok?”
“You’re just chicken shit. High school is already a lifetimeaway!”
“Maybe for you but it’s still raw for me!”
Her outburst had ended the conversation never to be brought upagain.
And now here she is, the setting almost an exact copy of thefirst time they’d seen each other. A party, a sorority one this time, that she’sbeen drug to by overstressed and overtly horny friends looking for a cheap buzzand a one-night stand. And there heis, leaning against the wall, but now, instead of torn jeans and a t-shirt,Oikawa’s sporting a button down with sleeves rolled to his elbows, black slacksand shined shoes. The contrast of his “preppy” look coupled with the ink stilladorning his arm and the ring in his lip invariably makes him even moreattractive, a fact proven true by the swarm of girls around him. To his right,she sees who she now knows to be his captain from the volleyball team, dressedsimilarly but rougher around the edges, opting for dark wash denim jeans, tightwhite t-shirt and a black button-down vest.
It really should be illegal to look so good.
“Ok everyone!” the house mother calls out. “Gather round, it’stime to draw for…7 minutes in heaven!”
A resounding cheer from the girls goes up while the malesall smirk and chuckle, elbowing one another in gleeful anticipation.
Swallowing the remaining contents of her Solo cup, she triesto head to the exit but her friend grabs her wrist. “Nope, you’re gonna getsomething tonight, even if it’s just kissing.” Protests fall on deaf ears, herhand shoved in the fish bowl drawing out a number.
“Alright, ladies and gents,” the house mother calls againonce the bowl is empty, “first up, number 12!”
Terushima pushes off from the wall, his movement pulling outsmall appreciative gasps from the surrounding crowd of females and one of them,a red head with cat-eye glasses, sashays up to him. He grins, taking her handand giving it a peck. “Shall we?” he asks gesturing to the hall closet. At hereager nod, he pulls her in, winking at the spectators before slamming the door.
A faint moan is heard from inside followed by a ripple ofteasing taunts and catcalls being thrown at the door. Seven minutes pass andthe door is opened to reveal a thoroughly disheveled girl stumbling out whileTerushima looks smug. “Oh my god, that tongue ring,” she murmurs to her friendswho giggle.
“Next up, number 9!”
When Oikawa steps away from the wall, a collective squealerupts only to be dulled to disappointed murmurs when each girl realizes they aren’this partner. Looking around, Oikawa searches for the girl he’ll have to put upwith for…no way. And there, blushing so brightly she looks sunburned, is thegirl who’s plagued his mind, both conscious and unconscious.
Smirking, he grabs her hand. “Can’t run away now,dancer-chan,” he whispers pulling her in and shutting the door.
Her breathing is rapid, breath fanning his chest and neckand he can feel her shaking under his fingers. He’s not sure if it’s the dark,the booze or both but Oikawa lets down his mask. “You don’t have to you know?Or…I mean, you could just pretend I’m someone else, if that helps.”
Her eyes shoot to his face. His voice is so dejected she can’tstop herself from whispering, “I…I don’t want it to be anyone else.”
That gets hisattention in a hurry. Grasping her shoulders, he murmurs, “What do you mean?”
“I…I want it to be you, Oikawa-san.”
“Time’s running out, are you still alive?” a muffled voicecalls but Oikawa ignores it. Ignores everything except the girl in front ofhim.
“Explain to me one thing then, dancer-chan,” he says,fingers toying with her hair, “if that’s true…why have you been avoiding methis whole time?”
He can feel her trembling, the cords in her neckconstricting as she swallows nerves and steels herself. “I was…am…afraid ofletting myself really believe you wanted me. I mean, in high school-“
“Yeah,” he interjects, leaning his forearm above her head,face inches from hers. She can feel his breath upon her face, minty of coursebecause Oikawa Tooru is always prepared, “what was that whole deal the secondtime I saw you?”
Her eyes close despite the darkness still hiding her face. “Itried to…to confess to you in high school. It was your third year, just beforethe tournament.” She feels him flinch, memories of that loss still obviouslyraw. She presses on quickly, “I brought you a bento box and some cookies andleft them in your locker with a note. But…you never responded, not even to tellme no. I waited for you by the school gates like a fool and you never came.”
Oikawa stares hard at her face, his eyes having finallyadjusted to the dark. He has no recollection of her at all other than a visagein a sea of faces continually vying for his attention. After a while it’sdifficult to determine one from another. But he remembers those presents.
“There was no note, dancer-chan. And even with as busy as Iwas, I would not have just left you there. I may have a reputation for being anasshole but I wouldn’t have done something so cruel,” he says lowly in her ear.
“Wha…what? I was sure…I know I put the note with it!”
He shrugs. “That may be true. Maybe it fell somewhere in mylocker or out of it when I picked up the gift. I remember it, clearly. I rememberlooking around for someone watching me receive it but there was no one so Ijust took it to be from a secret admirer or one of my fans and moved on.” Hetouches her cheek gently, “Will you let me thank you for it now?”
Unable to find her voice, she nods. It’s all the opening Oikawaneeds, swooping down to seal his lips over hers, the taste of cherry coke and badvodka lingering. He licks into her mouth, her own flavor much, much sweeter makinghim moan rather loudly. Her fingers clutch his shirt, knees going weak underthe ministrations of his tongue and the feel of his lip ring grazing hersensitive flesh prompting Oikawa to draw his arm around her, pulling her to hischest.
“Tell me your name,” he rasps.
“________,” she whimpers, lost in the feel of his touchagainst the soft skin on her back.
Before time’s up, he hoists her around his waist, throwingopen the door to the shock and awe of those waiting for their turn. Lockingeyes with Terushima, Oikawa asks, “Guest room?”
His captain grins widely. “Up the stairs, turn right, thirddoor on the left.”
Ignoring everyone and everything around him, Oikawa surgesup the stairs.
“What are you doing?” she gasps.
His eyes shift to hers, gleaming with a predatory glow. “WhatI plan on doing to you will take much, muchlonger than seven minutes.”
I know Terushima is ayear behind Oikawa but since this is AU anyway we’ll just pretend they were inthe same grade since I find the idea of Terushima as Oikawa’s captainhilarious.

boyfriend! taehyung
here i am again hello everyone what’s good 
i really need more variety in my writing with the other members but i always am emo for tae so here i am againnnn 
first off let me tell u one thing,,, tae would be the boyfriend to be clingy as fuck. 
good luck if u wanna go somewhere alone everywhere u go u look behind u o shit u got a leech on ur back
HUGS
there will be so many hugs ok it will be borderline weightlifting fairy !!!!! like you will just be walking and all of a sudden BOOM tae is attacking u from behind 
literally there is so much love in this relationship like shiiT
ALSO MATCHING CLOTHES WOULD DEF BE A THING 
like “ok babe we’re wearing blue today” 
or have this dorky matching sweaters sjflkslkfjdls 
also morning texts!!!! like every morning he is thinking of you 
“good morning babe” or “i dreamed about u :’)” 
IM CRYIGN 
firsT dATE aHH
ur first date would be something of a dinner but not like a fancy one,, just like at the local diner very homey 
during which tae accidently spills his cherry coke on u and hes ready to scream apologies but you’re laughing so hard and helping him clean u up and hes scrambling around for napkins 
and his face is super red and ur like babe its fineee ily 
tae insists that he pays for the entire thing but u are just like??? listen gucci boi i can pay for my dinner its $15 ok like i goT IT so u end up splitting the bill 
and you guys walk with ur hands intertwined all the way to ur house 
and just as ur ready to walk away he pulls u back 
and he just kinda looked at u and tilted ur head up and planted the softest kiss on ur lips and ur scREAMIN inSidE 
he would just smile against ur lips and pull away and tell u that u looked beautiful and ur blushing so hard like ur an actual beet at that point 
AND THAT WAS UR FIRST KISS WITH HIM 
and let me tell u that first kiss was the most important bc that opened the gate for trillions of kisses more that he would give u 
like everydaY sO mAnY kISSES 
TRAVELING!!!!! 
oh my god with tae as ur bf you guys will never stay in one place 
you guys like to go sight seeing and visit monuments and go to museums 
you guys would just walk hand in hand everywhere and take LOTS of pictures together 
he wants to be able to look back and cherish every moment he spends with you T^T 
i feel like traveling with tae would include so many adventures 
and mishaps 
like realizing u left your favorite coat at the hotel and having to run back to get it 
or tae accidentally cussing in the language of the country your visiting 
poor kid,, but you guys always laugh about it and think about the brighter side of things 
ALSO shOppING 
I’ll have to probably make a separate scenario abt this bc its so much 
but to put it simple and sweet tae would spoil you to death omg 
like you want that purse that was super cute? yeah well he bought it behind ur back and is gonna surprise u with it
ur mom likes gucci?? hell, ur mom will be getting gucci shit all the time (literally half the reason she loves tae so much likE YES [Y/N] PLS CONTINUE DATING THIS GENTLEMAN) 
like i just had this cliche idea that happens all the time but tae would totally pick clothes out for you and you’d try them on for him and he’d be like the fashion judge 
and he’d get so flustered sometimes and be like “this looks better on you than i expected,,,” 
holidays are really fun because he really values family and he’d hang out with you and your crazy fam/friends 
he’d play with your baby cousins/neices/nephews/siblings whatever and practically everyone adores him they all believe you guys to get married in the future (u guys def will) 
he’d honestly think of everyone and not leave anyone out, but he’s always by your side 
he wants to know everyone in your family so that he could be closer to you
idk but tae really seems like the jealous type? I may be wrong,,, but i can imagine that say you have a guy friend, completely platonic, but he has a crush on you but kinda keeps it on the down-low bc ur taken 
and tae KNOWS like he can tell this guy is basically in love with you so he gets like this extreme jealousy whenever you smile or laugh with him or playfully punch each other right in front of him 
and like he would just take ur arm out of nowhere and drag u away and ur like?????????
tae wtf?? 
and he’s just like i don’t like seeing you with him at all?? and u try to calm him down but BOOM first fight 
and like you go to sleep feeling so guilty bc what if tae was like how you were with your friend except with a girl? Wouldn’t you feel jealous at least a little bit??
and tae is at home freaking out bc maybe he overreacted?? he was being too harsh??? what if he loses you bc of this?? 
So basically he calls you up in the middle of the night and apologizes and ur like nonoono i should be the one apologizing
it’s cute jklsjlkgs like you guys can’t stay mad at each other it’s impossible
tae was most likey staying at jimin’s bc he needed moral support now that i think about it. probably ranting to jimin abt how much he loves u 
basically you and tae are couple goals 
there is so much more that would write but this thing would be so long rip 
i hope you guys enjoyed!!!!!
