do you think megumi would be sentimental about love? as in first love, summer love, or just long lost love that will never happen again?

and how would he act? would he try to bury those feelings at the bottom of his heart? throw it out the window? distract himself?

idc what au, i want to know all your thoughts

🫐

Now listen, I think he definitely would be sentimental. In my mind he's feeling everything very intensely, at times it might even overwhelm him.

ALSO i'm so sorry this turned a bit longer and went into so many different directions. I hope I gave you at least something and didn't just leave you empty handed TT

Megumi doesn't like to show it, he doesn't like to get close to others, mainly because of his profession. At least that's what he tells himself. But let's take a little dive into his head.

His deadbeat father left when he was a child, his step sisters mother just up and went away. His only real healthy and strong relationship has always been his sister. Sure, Gojo cares, but the amount of time it took to let even Gojo in was immense. And then later on he basically loses his sister to a coma. He doesn't know how to really deal with relationships of any kind, he might even be a little unstable and has no real sense of self.

In my opinion he wouldn't know how to behave when he feels love for the first time. It would overcome him and possibly freak him out.

At first he might actually try to fight it, distract himself with training and missions as much as he could. He would practically beg Gojo to give him anything to do and would even consider doing some manager work for Ijichi at this point.

However, nothing works. His mind still travels to you way too many times, and eventually he just knows it's a force stronger than any sorcery. He catches himself thinking about you whenever something happens, wanting to tell you about it or just yearning for your presence and have you tell him about your entire day in full detail.

He sees you and a smile tugs at his lips, cracking the usually stoic facade. He wouldn't even notice it. You've taken his heart so quickly and effortlessly that he swears it has been yours all along.

There are times where he's alone, with nothing to do and he just stares out the window, at the sunset and how it paints the prettiest colours onto the sky and it reminds him of you. It brings so many small details about you into his mind and he ends up smiling while just reminiscing about you for god knows how long.

The moment he realises that he's actually so deep in love that there's no way out but through he shows his determination, even though there's still doubt in the back of his mind.

Mind you, he never courted anyone, his sole knowledge about romance comes from movies, and some ill advised comments from Gojo. Therefore he opts for a classical way. He would find you when you're not surrounded by others, with a flower in his hand and kind of awkwardly ask you if you want to go out. To which you say yes, of course.

It takes him a few moments to realise that you actually agreed and he cannot stop his lips from smiling, which makes him all the prettier in your mind.

There's a moment where you turn to the other side to hide your faint blush and his eyes fall to the scrunchie in your desk. Without even thinking about it he'd subtly snatch it and let it disappear in his pocket. This boy who usually thinks everything through and tries not to act irrational couldn't help himself, now he's glancing at your scrunchie whenever he misses you. But don't expect him to ever confess this to you, it's a secret he'll keep inside for far too long.

In the end Megumi embraces the love, he's sentimental about it, but not too open. He shows you how much you mean and how happy you make him, but in public he still mostly wears a stoic expression because it's no one else's business that you make his heart swell up three sizes or that just a smile from you makes him weak in the knees.

Hello me, here is your reminder to write a letter for Leona dedicated to Berry anon and also just as a treat for yourself, enjoy your week off and don't forget to sip some water as you're drinking because you KNOW you're dehydrated, kisses, past you <3

This one is also part of the event, but not a request. It is dedicated to Berry anon, as idk if they'll have time to check in again soon (I'll be replying to your ask in a bit :3!) and I have yet to write any of the Leona autumn musings. So I figured instead I'd write a little letter (and it gives me an excuse to write for him, cause it's been a while and I love him dearly) so here we go!

2nd person. GN reader. No warnings, just fluff

U - Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Leona doesn’t give off a very empathetic vibe most of the time. He is rude, quick with his remarks and generally not a super positive or sensitive person to be around. But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t understand what is going on in people’s heads. He just prefers to stay away from it most of the time. 

And it is different with you, his partner. Not only is he noticeably softer (and will growl at anyone for even trying to point that out), but he has an especially keen insight in your thoughts and feelings. He notices something is off faster than you realize yourself sometimes. He will be able to pinpoint a source for those feelings pretty fast too. 

He’s less quick to get annoyed around you, and will never dismiss your emotions. After all, he can be pretty emotional himself, but has always been pushed to bottle them up, keeping up a princely attitude at home. His main outlet is anger -even though he realizes that is wrong. He doesn’t want the same for you, so he will allow you to feel your feelings and acknowledge him (and will encourage you if those feelings make you want to punch something or someone). 

But actual solutions or a little more? That rarely happens with Leona. After all, he has one big time remedy for any problem: nothing a good nap can’t fix. And honestly, as you’re in his arms, a tail reassuringly wrapped around your leg? You can feel all your worries become a little less.

This is part of my AB(C)-Day event! Click here to join!

The Fairest One of All, our dear Snow White,

What is love? Do you believe it exists? In your own words, can you define it? ♥︎

Sincerely yours,

-Berry

What a beautiful and thought-provoking question. Truly, one that holds so much depth.♥️ I can’t recall anyone asking me this before, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to explore it.

Yes, I do believe that love exists. I assume you’re referring to romantic love, so I’d like to distinguish that from platonic love, as I feel they differ in many ways, even though, ultimately, they lead us to the same destination. This will be a bit of a ramble, and I anticipate it will be lengthy, so please bear with me.

To me, love—whether platonic or romantic—is always selfless. Conditional love, while it may be seen as something earned, does not, in my view, qualify as true love. The love that matters is unconditional.

True love, I believe, is not something that should be earned or tested. It is a gift given freely, without the need for anyone to prove their worth to receive it.

Platonic Love: When I think of unconditional love, it often takes the form of the purest expression seen in the parent-child relationship. This, for me, is the epitome of platonic love—a love that flows freely, with no strings attached. It is love that is given without expectation or conditions, a love that is simply a part of the relationship itself.

Romantic Love: Romantic love, I believe, has its roots in the same wellspring. It too must be unconditional, selfless, and freeing. When handled with care and respect, romantic love can bloom into something profound, perhaps even evolving into what some would call “true love.” At its core, I think it leads to the same goal that platonic love does—a love that is unwavering, a love that, like the love a child receives from their parent, is unconditional.

There is a thought I’ve often pondered (likely because I’m surrounded by “proud and independent women”): I don’t reject behaviors that might be considered “enslaving.” I think this only applies when that understanding is not mutual. A love that isn’t reciprocated will eventually become a cage, and I don’t believe that freedom is as glorified as it’s made out to be. In truth, none of us are ever fully free. So, why not embrace the cages we’re already in, and find happiness within them? When love is mutual and understood, it can set us free. There is nothing that mutual understanding can’t liberate, and that includes love itself.

For me, though I believe in love, I don’t feel the excessive need for a soulmate. Perhaps there is a soulmate for me, who knows? I think anyone would love to be with their “soulmate” or “other half,” and I think those who truly wish for it will likely find it. But what I truly need is someone to love and support me, someone who can offer stability and strength in return. (I hope that doesn’t seem too abrupt, following all the romanticising; I just wanted to be entirely candid here.) Often, our wants and our needs don’t align, and that’s okay. What matters is finding the balance between them.

Bonus: This isn’t directly related to my understanding of “love,” but I thought it might be interesting to share. I mentioned this in a Fyodor post before, but in case anyone doesn’t want to read the entire post, I’ll just copy-paste it here.

Excerpt:

To understand why he wouldn't fall for just any type of darling, we need to look at the biological anthropology of romantic love: This is a brain system, like the fear or anger system, which can be triggered instantly. The aspects that need to be fulfilled are:

1. The person (in this case, Fyodor) must be ready for it. Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, calls it a "Love Map." This "Love Map" is an unconscious and conscious list (which I would say, in Fyodor's case, is more unconscious of what one looks for in a romantic partner.

2. When the person is ready to fall in love and meets the darling, and the darling fits within the "Love Map," even a small positive interaction can trigger the brain circuitry, leading to romantic love.

It is more of a biological process than a truly loving and accepting one, as those criteria come into play later, in what is called "Attachment," the other brain system.

The hell? Here, you can have these Kabru *hands him a dozen bouquet of different flowers. Some of them are his two favorite colors* no one's doing that to you on my watch

Blink blink !!! Snrrk — He begins laughing, fully and bright, a hand going over his mouth to muffle it.

Wow !! Thank you — !

[bonesandthebees]

For the song ask game can I have 29, 19 and 7? Thanks bee!

berry anon if that isn't taken

7. three songs you didn’t expect to like but eventually loved

answered that one here!

19. three songs that are your guilty pleasure

I was about to say I don't have any guilty pleasure songs but then I remembered. I absolutely do.

don't threaten me with a good time - panic! at the disco

look I used to listen to p!atd a long when I was a teenager. to this day I will still defend a fever you can't sweat out as being a genuinely banger album, but I know being one of the later albums death of a bachelor gets a bit of shit and I agree not all the songs are the best. but damn... they were fun. I only just heard don't threaten me with a good time the other day for the first time in years and I was bouncing along singing to it like it's just catchy

loving someone - the 1975

again, this is a similar situation to p!atd. except this one leans more towards the side of "the frontman is a shit person" (which still applies to p!atd but yknow I think we can all agree matty healy is worse than brendon urie). but man I listened to this song when I was like 17 and it's just so pretty and hits different, y'know?

e-girls are ruining my life - corpse

look. this song was fun as hell ok. if it comes on while I'm driving I will shout along to it idc

29. three songs that influenced you most (some songs change or save lives)

answered that here!

[ask-mickbell]

Well I can always give you more food and coins...

If you let me call you cute as much as I want *hands you more coins*

oh..! that’s a strange question…fun!

hondew berries.

hondew is…the nickname i gave to my numel when leader maxie first gifted her to me..♪

[sinners-go-to-drink-the-wine]

Yeah, I personally don’t think it has anything to do with GVF directly. Maybe a special photoshoot or video he’s doing, or maybe it does have something to do with his work on Hannah’s album (I’m hoping for the former). But I don’t think it’s anything too exciting.

Also, hi. I haven’t sent you anything in a while. But I’m here! 🥰 - 🍓

I just got home from work lol

ITS A STARCATCHER WORLD TOUR!! (which I'm sure you know by now hahaha)

I was feeling positive, and yeah a cute lil photo shoot/interview with Sammy would've been fun too, and this is so exciting!! I love the little bit between him and Danny

It's aways lovely to hear from you, berry 🥰

[purple-tello]

BOI-

🫐

Non binary, actually.

[casanovasadmiral]

hey eridan, since youre the Anthropologist ill direct this at you; does the amphora mean anything special/specific to yall? since it is a symbol associated with the aquarius sign on earth, does it mean anything different to you?

-🍓

certainly. i havve an amphora vvase tattooed on my hip, and cro used to havve a rather large piece on his back depicting one pouring lightning.

in terms of symbolism, they are representativve of responsibility, honor, travvel, and evven pride. i believve this ties into wwhy 'aquarius' drawwings on earth tote one. they wwere used as liquid storage over long journeys, or gifted from gods themselvves like trophies. in any situation, they are beautiful, and covveted.

[delzinrowe]

wishing you a nice week ahead, hope it'll brighten up your life a bit 💞

also i need your thoughts/headcanons on older bro!ino

would he be that cool older brotger who's a big ass protector or just a loser annoying type that gets into your room just to get out after two minutes?

🫐

Okay listen, Ino is simultaneously the best and the most annoying older brother EVER.

He's a fun guy, open and honest and always there for you when you need him. But he's also the type of dude to play pranks on you. Nothing that could actually harm you or scar you, but he's annoying nonetheless.

He's genuinely caring and when ne notices that you're going through something he drops the annoying act and confronts you. He's not stoic or rude about it. He's tactful, subtle and caring, making sure that you know he's always on your side no matter what and that if there's anything he can do, HE WILL DO IT.

You need a short road trip to get your mind off things? He's already prepping the car. You are broke but feel the heavy craivng for junk food? He's ordering, his treat and no buts.

He's generous but he doesn't spoil you and even if he only actually says it once in a blue moon, he's proud of you, your achievements and he loves you.

Even if his antics sometimes get annoying and you're bickering like crazy, fighting for the remote of the tv and arguing about the silliest stuff because both of you are stubborn as hell. He's a good big brother after all and he prides himself with the fact that you're coming to him when you've got troubles.

But don't anyone ever dare to mess with his sibling. He's not holding back.

He's a firm supporter of the "I can prank/annoy them because they are my sibling, but if YOU do it you're dead."

After all you're HIS sibling. He's not afraid to punch others if needed, he might have already done it in the past without your knowledge too.

[blue-nardo]

... can't even judge ya cuz I am 100% the same way.

🫐

EXACTLY if my man tells me to do something I'mma do it boyfriend knows best

[literatureloverx]

The Fairest One of All, our dear Snow White,

There shouldn't be any child who doesn't know their own mother's scent. Based on your appearance and personality I think you smell like roses or cherries. I was torn between these two. What scent/perfume do you fancy I wonder? (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

Sincerely yours,

-Berry

Berry, this is… so sweet. 😭 I’m so sorry it took me a few days to respond to this; I promise to get to your other asks very soon as well! ♥️ I interpreted your ask as wanting me to explain my natural scent (mother’s scent?) and then share what perfume I use, is that right? I never thought I’d end up describing my own scent, but… here it is, I guess.

It’s really hard to describe your own scent (which is probably why I ended up sniffing my own wrist like some kind of confused bloodhound). The only thing I could detect was that it’s mild and sweet, so I went to my mum and asked her. She said it’s “like butter cookies,” so I hope that gives you a somewhat more satisfying answer. ♥️

As for the perfume I use, it’s Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry (you guessed correctly! Please teach me how to guess someone’s scent based on their appearance). I usually only receive it on my birthday because it’s quite expensive. If I don’t make it through the whole year with the bottle, I buy the body spray version, which smells exactly the same but is a bit subtler—and much more affordable.

Bonus: I even bought cherry water yesterday, haha.

[ask-utayaboy]

Oh well, *she picks up some books, looking at the cover of each one before answering* a little bit of history, some poetry and romance books mostly. You look like you like poetry so I'll give you this one myself *hands him a small poetry book. The title reads: "For the heart of a Goddess" in gold letters, and it's cover is a deep red wine color*

I've also got some in psychology as well... *grins* would you like those too?

- berry anon

. . . Yes, yes I would!!

I'd like the psychology books — I mean ahaha. And the others. Thank you, genuienly

[husbandograveyard]

Hi Hazel! No worries at all. I hope you've been enjoying writing for DnD, it sounds like a lot of fun! Hopefully you're able to get Leona and all your Tsum favorites.

I have a confession, I have fallen out of the Twisted fandom 😔. I'll still be dropping by if you want to still keep in touch since I've enjoyed chatting with you these past few months, it's just that I won't be able to speak much about what's happening in the game.

April has just started, I hope you have a great month ahead and as always remember to take care of yourself! - berry anon

Hi Berry!! It's okay, it happens, I have waves of fandoms as well, some come and go, and some disappear forever. It's sad, but no use clinging to something that doesn't bring joy anymore. I am definitely still willing to talk and catch up every once in a while, although I haven't been on Tumblr much. Not for a lack of wanting, I have so many writing projects I am lowkey still working on, but I have SO LITTLE time lately, I don't know where it is going. In between work, spending time with friends, quality time with my girlfriend, DnD, my other hobbies, I feel like I am always running out of time to properly write and get on with Tumblr.

I have also been thinking of just moving everything permanently to Ao3, I have been posting there for a while, and with Tumblr's algorythm dying, Ao3 is actually getting better in getting feedback and stuff. I will see. I will definitely not delete or completely abandon this place, but I don't have the time to keep up with all my fandoms and interactions and everything anymore haha.

I hope you have some good times ahead of you, Berry! I will maybe see you around?
