Lotr and Hobbit mini matchup game

Status: CLOSED

I recently turned 21! And what better way to celebrate it with my followers and friends than by doing a fun matchup game!

You can pick up to 2 different types of mini ships. But don't expect me to get into much detail on why I choose (insert character) for you since it's a mini game. Matchups, such as who's your mentor or best friend will, of course, be platonic!

Here's what you can pick:

Romantic matchup

FWB matchup (only for 18+, so make sure to put your age in your description)

Best friend matchup

Familial matchup

Mentor matchup

Rival matchup

Secret admirer matchup

Here's what I need from you:

Fandom: Either Lotr, or the Hobbit

Your pronouns and sexuality (if you chose a type of romantic matchup)

Looks are optional

3 to 5 emojis which describe your aesthetic

A few prominent personality traits

A few hobbies or talents you have

Your love language/s

Literally anything else you think might be helpful

Put a: 🎂 at the beginning of your matchup request, so I know you read all the rules.

Since it's a birthday matchup game, I'd really appreciate it if someone did a ship for me (can be romantic, friend, secret admirer, or whatever matchup you want), but it's not a must. Just in case someone really wants to do one for me, here's my info:

I'm an 18+ year old demigirl (they/she) and bisexual. I'm about 5 feet with dark hair, and I've been described as giving off vampire vibes based on my looks.

A few emojis what would describe me are: 👽💌🌷🌛👒

My main love language is gift giving, and I'm a pro at making my friends blush with my witty humor and compliments. I'd never say no to cuddling with my SO or buddy. I'm the local weird girl in my friend group, but I do stay out of drama and can be rather shy to interact with new people. Sometimes, I'm the voice of reason in my group. I'm very ambitious, but I struggle with feeling unmotivated a lot.

I love horror, fantasy and watching gameplay, or playing video games myself. I enjoy cooking for my loved ones and have a major sweet tooth. I love animals as well, but kinda prefer to stay indoors and chill with some friends.

➻ pleasant greetings to you all, my lovely daisies! your florist has decided to open commissions for both writing and match-ups to celebrate the 700 follower count. i've included the rules, prices, and other necessary details listed under the cut. ➻ thank you so much to all those who read, liked, commented, and reblogged my writing! i enjoy reading your notes and i appreciate every like and reblog ♥

❝ 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 ❞

➻ writing commissions: open ↪ open slots: 4/5 ➻ match-up commissions: open ↪ open slots: 5/10

— commissions details — 

➻ commissions event duration: until all slots are filled

❝ 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 ; 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ❞

— a lotus flower's narrative is like the usual story writing that i post in this blog. this is open to twisted wonderland only and covers all genres listed in the original rules list. the following characters are available for this commission listing:

‣ all heartslabyul characters (riddle, trey, cater, ace, deuce) ‣ all savanaclaw characters (leona, ruggie, jack) ‣ all octavinelle characters (azul, jade, floyd) ‣ all scarabia characters (kalim, jamil) ‣ all pomefiore characters (vil, rook, epel) ‣ all ignihyde characters (idia, ortho) ‣ all diasomnia characters (malleus, lilia, silver, sebek) ‣ all yuus (yuuken, yuuka, yuuta, yuuya) ‣ all nrc staff (dire, divus, ashton, mozus, sam) ‣ all side characters (rollo, fellow, gidel, knight of dawn, etc.)

❝ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑��𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋'𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 ; 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡-𝐮𝐩 𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 ❞

— the carnation petal's foresight is the match-up bundle listing. this is open to three (3) fandoms: twisted wonderland, honkai: star rail, genshin impact. this is called a bundle because one match-up commission includes three (3) categories, namely:

‣ main match (platonic, romantic, or both) ‣ voice lines (from 5 random characters) ‣ fandom-centred inclusion (dormitory match for twst, paths match for hsr, vision match for genshin)

— pricing — 

❝ 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 ; 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ❞

‣ $ 2 per 100 words regardless of the type and genre

↪ for example, a 1,500-word oneshot costs $ 30

❝ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋'𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 ; 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡-𝐮𝐩 𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 ❞

‣ $ 3 per category in one fandom

↪ 1 fandom = 3 categories, so $ 3 x 3 categories for one fandom = $ 9 ; 2 fandoms = 6 categories, so $ 3 x 6 categories for two fandoms = $ 18 ; 3 fandoms = 9 categories, so $ 3 x 9 categories for three fandoms = $ 27 ↪ if you add another category (for example, you purchase both platonic and romantic matches instead of just one of the two), an additional charge of $ 3 will be added to your total.

— general rules — 

all the general rules listed in the original rules list still apply. those listed below are just additional rules used for commissions.

— commission details are sent by filling out this form.

‣ for systemised and organised purposes, you may fill out this form to indicate all the details of your commission. this is only for sending out the details, any other relevant topics shall be discussed through various channels. you can reach out to me through tumblr's dm system, instagram, and email.

— payments can be made through paypal, buy me a coffee or ko-fi.

‣ this is my first time opening commissions, so i confess that i do not know how the payment methods work as i do not use paypal as one of my daily payment methods. i have set everything to a default, so the payment currency is in USD $, only because SAR is not an option in the currency list. (update: 03/13/2024) i discovered that paypal's fees are quite huge here in my place, so i opted to try buy me a coffee instead. ko-fi is still available only if you can't send it through buy me a coffee. links to both sites are at the bottom of this post. (update: 04/19/2024) i am having issues with my payout on buy me a coffee so i am unlinking it first!

— payment options are flexible.

‣ my payment options are entirely flexible. you may pay upfront at the moment of sending the commission request, you may pay half during the requesting period and the other half once the commission is done, or you can pay the full amount once the commission is done. if you decide to pay the full amount once the commission is done, you will need to send the payment before i post or send the commission.

— once payment is made, you cannot cancel or withdraw from our agreement. alternatively, once i have already started working on your commission halfway through, you cannot back out at the last minute.

‣ since my payment options are flexible, the way you pay me is entirely your choice, and i have naturally given you enough time to ponder whether you are sure about this commission or not. once you have sent a payment, whether it is half or full, you cannot cancel or withdraw from our agreement or ask for a refund.

‣ additionally, even if you opted for a flexible payment, you cannot withdraw or cancel once i have started halfway through your commission or once i am finished. i don't want to experience completing a commission only for the requester to back out at the last minute again. it takes me 2 to 7 days to complete a commission, so please keep that in mind.

— suggestive content is fine, but no nsfw.

‣ i am 20, but i want to keep this blog open to all ages. i can write suggestive themes and whatnot, but i do not know how to write pure nsfw, so i will not include that in my content.

— reposting is okay as long as you link it back to me.

‣ you can repost the commissions since you did pay for it, after all. however, i would appreciate if you tag me in it.

— commissions are posted on tumblr publicly unless requested to be posted on another platform or privately.

‣ all commissions are automatically posted on tumblr. however, if you wish to post it on another platform, i can do so. you also have the option to have the commission publicly or privately. publicly would mean i will be posting it on tumblr or another platform, and privately would mean i will send it to you via our direct messaging platform as a pdf file, or google drive link, etc.

— writing rules — 

all the writing rules listed in the original rules list still apply. those listed below are just additional rules used for commissions.

— detailed.

‣ detailed commission requests allow me to finish it faster. however, you can still be a bit vague, but it might take a while for me to complete it as i still have to think of a perfect way to do the commission to your liking.

— reader-insert by default, ocs are fine.

‣ this blog has been known to be a twst reader-insert fic provider, so it is highly appreciated to request a reader-insert to allow everyone to indulge themselves in the story. however, you can still request for an oc, especially if you want the commission to be sent privately.

— child characters are naturally strictly not allowed for anything romance-related.

‣ though you may know this by now, i will reiterate again. child characters (ortho, gidel, etc.) are strictly not allowed to be included in romance genres (story or matchup-wise).

— no limits.

‣ though the original rules list states that there is a dormitory and character limit, there is no limit when it comes to commissions. you may request as many characters and as many dormitories as you want, but do keep in mind that the word count and the pricing will be affected.

— matchup bundle rules — 

all the matchup rules listed in the original rules list still apply. those listed below are just additional rules used for commissions.

— specify the nature of the relationship.

‣ although the form already establishes the question of whether you want a platonic, romantic, or both of the matches, this is a reminder to not forget to specify. if you don't, i will automatically do romantic as that is the default of my matchup requests.

— child characters are not an option.

‣ this is already a widely known fact, but child characters (ortho, bailu, qiqi, etc.) are not an option in the results and possible matches.

— state the fandom.

‣ the form has already established the question of which fandom you want to be matched in. you have the option to choose one, two, or all three, but do keep in mind that it affects the pricing.

➻ i believe that is all of the details needed, but you may freely DM me as you wish! this is my first time opening commissions, so i apologise for any inconvenience if there are any ♥ relevant links: ➻ commissions form ➻ buy me a coffee ➻ ko-fi ➻ original rules list (this is not for commissions) ➻ catalogue (if you want to check my work)

Voyeuristic Nightmare:

Killing Me Softly With His Song:

“If you think about it she could be describing an archivist. Fugees version because it slaps”

Lyrics below the Line!

Voyeuristic Nightmare:

Where do you run to When there's nowhere left to hid? There's not a corner of the world To which it's blind Under the surveillance of a monster With a thousand eyes A voyeuristic nightmare steals Away our private lives They see you, they watch you You're just another Slide under the microscope

Watch your step, they see you They know every move before you make it They're only waiting Now to catch you in the act The jig is up They've been tappin' on your phone lines Cops are at the front door And the swat is in the back Go anywhere There's just no safety anymore And when you're hidin' in your house And lockin' up the door It's a false sense of security This was never a land of sovereignty If it means they'll make another penny Fill the morgue

No color No future No culture No code The plastic smell of ignorance With a tv teaching morals And incendiary graveyards Of 1,000 rotting minds A shred of humanity is impossible to find Let weaving spiders infiltrate the grove On blast surveilled We're jailed forever And we just give ourselves away

We're runnin' on the rails With the wealthy at the wheel The few control the many Free to cheat and lie and steal It doesn't matter If a couple innocent will die As long as money's rollin' in Everything is fine But now we want to see All the cards on the table We're sick of being lied to And kept in the dark Burn the veil and sever the cables That personify our slavery And rip the grid apart

Killing Me Softly With His Song:

Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

(Ah!) Yooo! (Yeah! Yeah!) This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here) Pra'zrel, (Pra'zrel up in here! Ha! Ha!) Lil' Base sits up there on the base (Refugees up in here) While I'm on this… I got my girl L (Ah, ah) One time (One time), one time, (One time) Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics

I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him And listen for a while And there he was This young boy, stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time) Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times) Killing me softly with this song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters Then read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time) Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times) Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge

Woah Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh La-la-la, la, la, la Woah, la Woah, la (Ha, ha, ha, ha) Laaaa

Strumming my pain with his fingers (Yes, he was singing) Yes he was singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song Strumming my pain, yeah (Strumming my pain)

Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie from the Refugee Camp (Yeah, yeah) (Singing my life) Up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here Wyclef, Pra'zrel, said L-Boogie up in here Wyclef up in here My man Lil' Base (Pra'zrel up in here) Jerry one time (T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here) This is how we— (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here) Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp (We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here, we got Val' up in here)

Everybody got a breaking point, kid, and they'll rat on you The family niggas'll rat on you That's why we gotta be prepared to take out whoever we need to (Man, motherfucker, I told you I was gonna get you next)

[andorshitdaily]

Remember that time we voted on which death from season one was the most iconic? What fun and exciting times! Always keeping the mood light around here!

Can't wait to do this again for season two! *nervous laughter morphs into sobbing*

THE DEAD POLL: A Wrap-Up

(this is where I'd put a beautifully bad edit of everyone's deaths to the music of a Sarah McLachlan song if I had one. just put the song on and imagine)

Thank you all for participating in such an interesting bracket! As voted by the people, the three most iconic deaths of Andor season one:

Third place - Arvel Skeen

We may never know how big of a bitch you truly were. But it sure did take our breath away to see you go. RIP.

Second place - Sparta

We didn't know you very well. But it was cool as fuck to watch you get kicked off the tower.

First place - Karis Nemik

Our dear sweet little gay writer boy. You were doomed from the moment we saw you, and yet we all held out hope that you'd somehow beat the odds. Your body may be broken and your life may have expired, but your legacy will live on. And because of you, we will always remember...to try.

[moonrainbowfish]

hi! first of all, happy birthday and i hope you had a wonderful day! i’m interested in doing a matchup trades and i just read your information. i’m doing some things right now so i’ll send a separate ask for my info (if you will accept my matchup request, totally fine if you don’t!) i ship you with legolas! i see him as the odd one out in the fellowship so he notices that immediately and appreciates you and your quirks. i think he would be really good at horror video games and remains calm and doesnt freak out. he loves that you cook so well, understands how ambitious yet unmotivated you are because he can have those feelings of laziness too while wanting to make a name for himself, and likes that you stay out of petty drama, because lbr, some people thrive in drama, and he doesn’t. i too see him as someone that prefers staying home but he’s definitely a nature lover. you two share many things in common and i think that’s what legolas wants since fans and in-universe characters seem to misunderstand him? anyway, happy birthday once again!

Thank you so much! This just made my day!

I think I'm lowkey turning into a Legolas girl at this point, heheh

character dynamic ask game

qs focusing around how two characters interact with & see each other. any kind of matchup (partners, friends, mortal enemies, etc.) is fair game!

rules: send two characters and a question (or more!)

what were A's first impressions of B? were they mostly correct or have they changed?

if asked to describe B to a stranger, what would A say? are they mostly truthful, or is there anything they omit?

what's something A thinks in their head about B that they would NEVER tell them out loud? alternately, what's something they want to say to them but haven't/can't, and why not?

how does A refer to B (first name/last name/pet name/title/etc) in their head, to them directly, and to others? are they different? why?

A has to get B a [birthday/christmas/whatever] gift. right now. what would they get? how long would they spend thinking about it?

what does A think B thinks of them? or, if asked to describe their relationship, how would they do it? are they right?

are there any habits, mannerisms, practices etc. A does because of B? anything they do because they saw B doing it, or got advice from them about it, or something rubbed off on them? alternately, are there any little things B does that annoy them?

is there anything they really disagree on? what are they most likely to argue about?

what do outsiders think their relationship is? do they consciously or unconsciously act different around others?

how well does A think they know B? are they correct?

what's something A knows about B that most people don't? alternately, what's something most people believe about B that A doesn't?

if B asked A for help, how likely would they be to give it?

if A needed help, how likely would they be to ask B for it?

for two characters that met very recently, how would their dynamic be different (if at all) if they had known each other for much longer? for characters that are childhood/longtime acquaintances, how would it be different if they met for the first time today?

what's A's absolute favorite (or least favorite) thing about B?

free space: what's your favorite thing about their dynamic, as a fan or as a writer?

[mariacallous]

On Oct. 29, 1920, the temperature in Detroit reached a high of 60 degrees, and the Detroit Free Press reported that “Northwestern High’s football eleven” was preparing to face Eastern High School the next day for a much anticipated Saturday matchup at the Joyce athletic field. 

Julia Esaw had not yet arrived in Detroit to enjoy the game and the pleasant weather, but the longtime member of People’s Community Church was born on that day — more than 100 years ago.

And this past Tuesday, on Oct. 29, the same Julia Esaw celebrated her 104th birthday in Detroit.

“If you could see my face now, you would see a great big smile,” Esaw announced by phone at 3:27 p.m. on her birthday, a day that was fittingly even warmer in Detroit than the day she was born.

Asking the exuberant centenarian to take a second call by FaceTime so that her beautiful smile could be seen was not an option. That’s because Esaw was in a rush to quickly take in the sun and 76-degree warmth that radiated at that moment near her Detroit home, not far from her beloved People’s Community Church — 8601 Woodward Ave. — before she was to be whisked away to a secret location for a family birthday celebration.

A 104th birthday is a rare occurrence. But Esaw says that from a very early time in her life she came to expect good experiences in Detroit.

“Detroit has had a lot to offer and I have no complaints,” said the 1939 Cass Tech graduate, who came to Detroit with her family when she was 2 years old from Columbia, Mississippi.

During the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 28, with vivid recollection, Esaw reeled off some of the early Detroit streets she lived on, including High Street, Division, Brewster, Hedge, Trowbridge and Taylor. However, it was a discussion about a destination that Esaw visited recently that brought out an excited tone a little more than eight hours before her birthday. That destination is 2978 West Grand Blvd., home to the Detroit Department of Elections, where Esaw dropped off her absentee ballot with a vote cast in the 2024 presidential election for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. And Esaw left no doubt that even with all of the history she has seen during her long lifetime, the opportunity to cast her vote for Harris — the first Black woman to head a major party’s presidential ticket — holds a special place in her heart. 

“I’m happy and it makes me feel great!” declared Esaw, who was born just 72 days after the ratification of the 19th Amendment which legally guaranteed women the right to vote.

Then Esaw went on to explain that her happiness this election season is tied to progress she has witnessed during her lifetime.  

“After high school, I wanted to study to be a dietitian. But as a young Black woman, there was no place here that I could go to get the training and my mother didn’t want me to go away,” lamented Esaw, who says she still owes a huge debt of gratitude to two “tough” teachers in Cass Tech’s home economics curriculum that prepared her well for life. “Blacks didn’t have the same kind of power we have today. But if we all get together now, we can put her (Harris) on the top seat.”

Although Esaw was unable to pursue a career in health care, her journey as a beautician actually began in close physical proximity to a prominent Detroit health institution. 

“I started as a beautician at the Streamline Beauty Shop on Forest and it was right across from Women’s Hospital (now Hutzel Women’s Hospital),” said Esaw, who was married to the late Tuskegee Airman Burkes Esaw Sr. “Because we were so close to the hospital, I had more white trade (clientele) than Black. It was the same thing for many years when I was running my own shop.” 

In the roles Esaw carried out as a beautician, block club president, wife and mother of four children who were taught at home to value education and healthy eating, she says race was not a barrier to success. But Esaw’s recollection of a revered Detroit landmark — the old downtown J. L. Hudson Department Store — may be a bit different from what is recorded in many history books. Esaw explained that there was a time when the shopping experience for Black customers at J.L. Hudson, which grew to be the tallest department store in the world during its heyday, was mostly relegated to the basement level due to a Northern version of Jim Crow.

Esaw’s earliest memories of Hudson’s were shared without a hint of bitterness in her voice and with a tiny chuckle thrown in because, as Esaw went on to explain, she has never accepted a “basement” view of life due to her faith. And because of her faith, Esaw says the fact that a Black woman (Harris also is of Southeast Asian descent on her mother's side) has a very legitimate chance to become the nation’s first woman president is not really a big surprise to her. 

“I was always taught that we (Black people) were God’s children too,” said Esaw, who noted that she starts each morning with a bowl of assorted raw fruit that she prepares for herself. “God made us and we’re somebody, too. And we can do anything that anyone else can, including being president.” 

And in an equally succinct manner, Esaw laid out what she would expect from Harris as president. 

“I want to see her reach out and touch everybody, because we’re all God’s children,” Esaw stated. “And then I would like to see us all work together as a team.” 

Next to Esaw as she spoke from home on consecutive afternoons beginning Oct. 28 was her only daughter and constant companion, 72-year-old Berneta Esaw, a retired Detroit Public Schools math teacher. Berneta Esaw was with her mother when she dropped off her election ballot, and she also was by her mom’s side on Oct. 12 at the Detroit Golf Club when Berneta Esaw’s 1969 Cass Tech graduating class held its 55th reunion, which Julia Esaw used as an opportunity to celebrate the 85th anniversary of her own graduation from Cass.

Berneta Esaw says she is holding out hope that there are other living people that will come forward who graduated from Cass Tech in or around 1939 to allow her mother to enjoy a reunion experience to the fullest. But in the meantime, Berneta Esaw is more than happy to share lessons for living a long, fulfilling life — which she has received with love directly from her mother. 

“Mother doesn’t look anywhere close to 90 — most people start at 70 when she asks them how old they think she is. But she has worked hard to look like that,” said Berneta Esaw, who has grown accustomed and accepting to people that want to hug and touch her mom when they become aware of Julia Esaw’s age. “Living with mother, you knew you were going to get your fruit in the morning, and salad with lunch and dinner, because mother knows that when you eat fresh, raw fruits and vegetables the body works better. 

“Mother is a blessing, and I feel blessed that I was born to two parents who were extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, and they gladly passed down their knowledge to my siblings and me, and others in our community.”

THIS IS BY FAR THE GREATEST MATCHUP I HAVE EVER SEEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE SO KIND AND TALENTED, AND I AM JUST SO HAPPY.

It's me and I am so excited for KNY Matchup! I'm an adult, She/lady, Taurus, Demisexual.

165cm, I'm chubby, but that's purely because of my medication. I have shoulder-length light brown hair and my prettiest quality are my green eyes with dark rings called limbal rings around my iris.

I have depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and Asperger's Syndrome, so I'm pretty weird or I have weird habits. I'm a kind polite person and all I want to do is to please, help, and make people happy. I love receiving praise for a job well done and being spoiled. My dream is to be loving Housewife like Okusan and always be there for my loved ones.

I love slice-of-life series (Okusan) and writing, but I write out of reverence.

I'm a very sweet easy-going person, but I can stress and worry easily. I have a habit of apologizing for nearly everything, be it an apology or just me being polite. I tend to blame myself for many things that don't necessarily have anything to do with me.

I absolutely hate yelling, shouting, and arguments, they make me so upset and anxious, I try my best to prevent them. If the bad situation continues I may lose control over my feelings and take it out on myself in the form of pain. I don't want to worry or bother anyone.

I'm naughty, but I do have a small fear of touching due to a trauma, like hand-holding, hugging, and worst, kissing and such, but if I show affection first then I might be okay.

Thank you THOUSANDS TIMES, I hope this isn't too much info!

- Demon Slayer Matchup Trade -

Author's Note: Thank you again for the matchups you did for me, I'm still blown away by how amazing those were. I hope mine will make you smile at least for a moment! Have a lovely day! Hope you'll like it!

I match you with...Kyojuro Rengoku

(lovely gif is not mine, please show appreciation to the OP)

- He will be drawn to you because of your kindness and softness at first. It triggers something in him that makes him want to protect you. In time, along with that protectiveness, a wish to keep you happy is added.

- Thinks that your will to help and please others is such an admirable strength. Out of all, he understands the most the power of a smile and a kind heart in this dark world.

- However, he starts wondering one day if the joy you give to others is ever reciprocated. Kyojuro will blurt out "But who makes you happy?" You'll notice a genuine frown on his face when he asks you this. You're always careful with others but who is careful with your needs?

- Kyojuro praises you all the time and he does it so naturally. Not because he knows you're worthy of praise but also because he noticed how much you enjoy it. He also wishes to set your confidence ablaze!

- He's going to be fascinated by those limbal rings you have, especially when the sun illuminates your irises. Don't get startled when he comes closer to you without saying a word, only to look at your eyes. If you stare back at his eyes, you'll always see admiration in them.

- Kyojuro won't mind your habits, he's curious about them. As much as he'd like to ask you about them, he won't, not wanting to be more intrusive than he already is sometimes. He just can't help himself, wanting to learn more about you.

- He cherishes you and the way you ground him. He can get a bit reckless so your care for him makes him take a step back and think a bit. His wake-up call was one time, he gets severely injured because of him rushing into a tough fight with a demon. When he woke up and saw you next to his bed, all worried, and crying, he promised to be careful next time, for you. From that point on, his motivation when going into battle is to always come back to you.

- Everyone knows he's loud, himself included, but his favorite moments with you will surprisingly be those silent ones. When you both lay down on a tatami, your head on his chest, the sun caressing your face, hair, eyes. The warm light makes you look like a deity of the sun and he can't take his eyes off you. There aren't many things that leave him speechless but the feeling of having you close and the image of the sun shining on your features are enough to have him silent.

- The only time when you won't see Kyojuro smiling is when someone tries to wrong you or yell at you. You'll feel his presence behind you immediately. His eyes are burning holes into the one in front of you and a hand resting on the handle of his katana. That's enough to scare anyone away. No one will ever hurt you.

- One time, his haori got torn in a battle but it was a small rip he didn't notice. But you did, so while he was training and not wearing his haori, you took it and started sewing it. When he looked for it, he found you sitting on the floor, humming to yourself as you were fixing his haori. This will melt his heart. He instantly thought "I'll make her my wife one day."

- If the relationship moved fast because there wasn't a second in which he kept his feelings for you inside or even neglected them, him opening up about his past and family will take so much longer. Have patience with him.

- Once you flinched a bit the first time he wanted to caress your cheek, he understood why right away. It broke his heart. Kyojuro wants to ask about it. If you decide to tell him, he'll have to suppress and hide the fact that he's devastated. He will be patient with you, careful.

- However, when you get more comfortable with him and even more playful, he's so excited. Watch him blush, get flustered so badly, at your playfulness, not expecting it. You're going to turn him into a mess.

- Training dates would be a thing from time to time. He is very good with positive reinforcement so you will enjoy those. He will also enjoy the way you push yourself and get a little sweaty. He might have to look away and take a little deep breath because you look so damn good when you're determined.

- He's going to present you to his younger brother after he told you about his family. Kyojuro would be so happy to see you two interact. Two of the most precious people getting along.

- It will be a challenge if you wish to keep the new relationship secret from the the other hashiras. He has a burning desire to show you off because he's so proud of meeting someone like you and being able to have you as his partner! Plus, your clothes will always smell like fire and the others will know why.

- The other hashiras will always have to listen to him boasting about how amazing and lovely you are. Some will be exasperated, some will be happy for him to find happiness.

Runner-up would be: Genya (aged up, of course) because he'd get similar feelings to Kyojuro, being attracted by the same characteristics you possess. However, he would be way more shy about it. He too would fall just as hard but unlike the flame hashira, Genya will bottle everything up and overthink it.

NSFW MATCHUP EXCHANGE.

cw: sae is nice, sae wears a pink dress, sae is a sub slut.

— Itoshi Sae

✦ His first lingerie was a memorable one. Nothing fit. You came home to give him a present on his birthday; Sae unwrapped before your watchful eyes, discovering the pair of transparent white tights and the utterly adorable pink dress that would become his regular outfit at your house. How beautiful he looked in that peach-colored chiffon and silk stockings. Materials that would slap against his white skin. The top of the dress compressed his torso, creating a feminine chest whose impromptu palpation remains one of your favorite pastimes. But above all: the lace panties, a size too small that not only compressed his dick, but always annoyed Sae whose balls tirelessly spilled out of the fabric whenever he started walking.

✦ You never went to exchange the outfit.

✦ And the fact that you can subtly see through… always prevents you from concentrating on your tasks when Sae is in the room, cleaning, ironing or bringing you your dishes. How many times have you spilled him on the table in the middle of the plates to make him your dessert? At lunchtime, in the evening, or even when he was cleaning near the library: everything was good to surprise him behind his back and take him right up against the wall. All you had to do was lift up his pretty dress to slip inside him, after all.

✦ Sometimes, you don't even bother to make him wear the underwear so you can take him faster.

✦ You've already bought him the bell necklace to put around his neck. You're still thinking about the tattoo on his skin. It would be nice if he belonged to you all the way.

✦ He's not complaining. Since he met you, Sae can't do anything without receiving your instructions first. It's become like that for anything and everything, even the smallest everyday tasks: which product to wash the floor with, how hot to bake your food, what time should he wake you up, when is he allowed to join you in the bath…

✦ …Is he allowed to touch himself when you're not around.

✦ And if he does and you've forbidden it…. He knows what punishment he'll get when you return.

✦ The boy is conditioned like that: to respond only to your name, only to your orders, only to your desires. It's become indecent how willing he's become to do anything to please you, fearing your wrath to the utmost.

✦ And yet, it can't be said that your wrath is something he really hates.

✦ You sometimes suspect him of deliberately doing stupid things to get your attention. It's because he's hungry for it, your pretty one, and a few hours without being near you inevitably ends up becoming an ordeal.

✦ How many times did you find him in your room, in your bed, belly down on the mattress, buttocks roughly raised as his hand moved the toy back and forth in its quartered rosette. You remember how his obscene moans kept calling to you. Your first name distorting his lips bitten under the self-administered pleasure, and therein lay the whole problem: Sae had disobeyed and hadn't waited for you.

✦ So when you showed up, when he finally became aware of your presence, he straightened up in a hurry anyhow, but he didn't have time to protest apologies as you slammed your hand on his chest to glue him back to the mattress and finish the job by regaining control of the toy that hadn't stopped vibrating inside him all this time.

✦ You decide when he's allowed to moan. You who decide when he can talk to you, beg you. And you get to control his right to enjoy.

✦ God, his usually masculine, drawling voice… turned all vulnerable and feminine as soon as it comes to you.

✦ And that's why his attempts to get you off your rocker never succeed. When he remembers his place as number one in the field, when he tries to puff out his chest to regain his footballing royalty… But when you arrive, more imposing and dominant than anyone else, Sae loses all his self-confidence, retreats until he meets the wall behind him, pitifully confounding apology after apology. Everything about you dominates him, turns the lone wolf who used to roam the world into a little puppy unable to leave the doghouse.

✦ When you're angry with him, he comes to you on his knees to take off your pants and relieve you of your burden. Sae applies himself as best he can, holding your cock with both hands to circle it while his little tongue laps at your glans like ice cream. Then he sucks you hard, trying to extract everything you have to give him. He really wants to make it up to you, you know?

✦ And it doesn't matter if you cum in his mouth, on his face, on his clothes; he swallows, scrupulously cleans up every last drop, good servant that he is.

✦ The vision of his face reddened and smeared with your cum is one of your favorites.

✦ And there are other things you love. Like testing him in public by forcing him to wear a vibrating egg he can't remove from his panties. You wait patiently in line at the supermarket, and you like to peek in on your maid, who's trying to contain himself so he doesn't let out a ghastly, delicious moan in the middle of the crowd. But his rosy cheeks and jerky breath betray the pleasure he takes in undergoing such treatment.

✦ You're a pretty horrible master, aren't you.

✦ And for his precious master, Sae is capable of anything. When you stain yourself a bit with food, he comes and lies on top of you to obediently lap up the remains and help you clean up. You run your hand through his magenta hair to praise him, or scold him when he doesn't do things well enough. When you straighten his face, he looks at you like a hungry puppy waiting to go on. This attitude moves you as much as it has made you slap him. Needless to say the latter have always had the knack of eliciting his most obscene squeaks.

✦ Sometimes, when Sae resumes a life among the common people, when he has to go back to playing soccer, you don't hesitate to send him messages in a row, calls, voicemails; everything. The longer it takes him to reply, the bigger the punishment when he gets home. Your favorite game? Demanding nudes from him when he's about to play a game, and during halftime.

✦ At the very end, it's you who comes to welcome your boy in person.

✦ And when it's not the nudes, it's you who accompanies him to the sports facility to enjoy a little more with your man, leaving him a little thick, warm white gift in his boxer shorts that he'll have to wear throughout the match. Glory to you!

✦ Phone sex? You're in. Whether it's during a business trip when you can't bring your faithful companion along, or because the day is getting long; you love those voice calls to hear his writhing with desire in every direction for you. His little voice interspersed with his sighs, your first name, your orders to not cum yet. He grabs his crotch to push back the orgasm, even if it's painful. Overstimulation always ends up getting the best of him, making him cry out the dirtiest squeals you've ever heard. Too bad for him: your orders come before the rest.

✦ The airplane is a place you know well, for all the time you can spend there on business trips. Sae follows you everywhere, since Sae is your pass anywhere you want to go. His worldwide reputation is a godsend for slipping into any prestigious location. So when you're on a night flight and all the passengers are asleep, you slip into the rear cabin. Sae knows exactly what to do and leans against the sink, stretching out his rump. It doesn't take you long to strip off your pants, pull down your boxers and come to burrow warmly into your rightful place.

✦ You grip his hips firmly to thrust into him. Your skins slap in obscene repetitive noises, Sae bites his forearm to hold back his moans, but it's fatally the frantic rhythm of your dance that finally gets the better of your makeshift hiding place. Sae is always uttering shameless cries of pleasure. Fortunately, each time, you have time to cum, renewing your mark on your lover's breast, whose imprint he proudly bears. Whether it's in bites on his neck, bruises on his thighs. There are his most precious gifts.

✦ God, how social events annoy you, bore you. You always end up retreating backstage where there's little traffic. In public, Sae dresses civilly, but fortunately he never forgets to please you by having remembered to put on the panties before leaving. When you lift him by the thighs to elevate him on a table, you then discover the lace distorted by his bulge.

✦ Only you have the right to see Sae in such a state. Mired in embarrassment, shame, blushing, stammering and submission. The way he looks at you with love and shyness makes you melt. The way he calls your name because he's lost without you. His curious caresses that explore the skin of your back when you give him permission. You love your adorable, beautiful servant who knows how to become the most pathetic slut once fucked.
