Jinu

He smelled it before he even entered the room.

Cinnamon. Vanilla. And something else. You.

Jinu stepped into the kitchen and stopped short.

You stood there in an oversized sweatshirt and shorts, barefoot, humming softly while setting out freshly baked muffins.

Perfect hair. Perfect skin. Not a single wrinkle in your clothes. No makeup — or maybe you were just that flawless. You even had the audacity to laugh softly when Baby tried to swipe one of the muffins early.

Jinu watched you laugh.

His fingers curled against the doorframe.

“Morning, Jinu,” you said sweetly when you noticed him. “You want cinnamon or banana?”

He blinked. Slowly.

“…What?”

You smiled, completely unbothered. “Muffins. I made two kinds.”

He stepped forward like in a daze. Took the cinnamon one. Bit into it. And almost physically froze.

Moist. Warm. Spiced just right.

He chewed once, then said nothing.

You poured him coffee without asking — and it was exactly how he liked it. Two sugars. No cream. Steam curling into the air like some cursed kind of poetry.

He stared at the cup, then at you.

You tucked your hair behind your ear, leaned on the counter, and asked, “Did you sleep okay?”

Jinu didn't answer.

Because he was too busy trying to figure out how you existed.

Perfect skin. Perfect smell. Perfect laugh. Perfect baking.

You were like a walking fever dream.

His thoughts spiraled:

She wakes up early. Looks like that. Makes breakfast. Knows my coffee order. Smells like sugar and warmth. Laughs like rain. This is a trap. This is definitely a trap.

“Jinu?” you asked, tilting your head.

He snapped out of it. “Fine. I’m fine. Thank you.”

You smiled again — soft and genuine.

And that’s when he gave up.

Walked back to his seat. Sat down. Took a long sip of your coffee. And stared out the window like a man questioning every decision that led to this moment.

Later that day, Romance whispered to him, “You’re into her.”

“I’m terrified of her,” Jinu muttered. “She’s not real.”

Abby

“Don’t look at her,” Abby mumbled to himself.

Baby, next to him, blinked. “Who?”

“You know who.”

And there you were. Again.

Flawless.

You had on a stupidly cute outfit that matched without even trying, hair effortlessly styled, skin glowing, perfume subtle but addictive. You were holding a tray of chocolate cupcakes, each one swirled with frosting like something out of a bakery window.

And the worst part?

You were laughing.

Like—laughing-laughing.

Gorgeous, loud, real laugh that made Romance look up from his phone. Jinu cracked a smile. Even Mystery raised an eyebrow.

Abby was internally combusting.

“Why does she have to smell like a warm sugar cookie?” he hissed to himself, arms crossed. “That’s illegal.”

You walked straight up to him.

“Try one,” you said, offering a cupcake. “I put espresso in the batter.”

He stared. At the cupcake. At you. Back to the cupcake.

You tilted your head. “You okay?”

“No,” he blurted. “You’re perfect.”

You blinked. “What?”

“I said you’re… uh, this is perfect,” he backtracked, snatching the cupcake. “The, um. Texture. And vibes. Great frosting. Fantastic pastry. Yup.”

You smiled and walked off.

And he collapsed backwards onto the couch with a dramatic groan.

Baby leaned in, whispering, “You’re such a goner.”

“I am,” Abby moaned. “She smells good, she looks like that, she’s hilarious, and she makes cupcakes that taste like sin. I’m fully, completely, absolutely screwed.”

“Should’ve trained harder,” Baby said. “You’re weak.”

Abby just shoved half the cupcake in his mouth and stared after you like a man who’d just been hit by a cupcake-shaped truck.

Mystery

He didn’t need to look up.

He knew it was you.

That barely-there scent. Sweet and clean. The soft shuffle of your steps. The quiet hum under your breath — always slightly off-tune, which made it somehow more charming.

You came to stand beside him.

“Busy?” you asked, peering at the glowing map.

“Yes,” he said. But his eyes had already drifted your way.

You leaned forward, elbow brushing his. Your shirt collar fell slightly to one side, revealing a flawless bit of collarbone.

He turned back to the map immediately. Blinked slowly. Inhaled through his nose.

Vanilla. Something floral.

Definitely you.

“Didn’t know we had activity in the eastern district,” you said, tone casual.

You smelled like fresh laundry and something warmer underneath. Maybe cinnamon. Or nutmeg. Or temptation.

He adjusted the map, trying to ignore how easily you processed the layout. Smart. Observant. Helpful.

And then — just as he was regaining control — you pulled something from behind your back.

A tupperware container.

“I made cookies.”

He looked at it like it was a weapon.

You opened it with a smile. Perfect chocolate chip — golden, soft, melty in the center. Warm.

Of course.

He looked at you again. Skin glowing, lashes soft, not a single hair out of place. Beautiful. Effortlessly so. Like the universe had handcrafted someone specifically to test his resolve.

“Try one?” you asked, nudging the container toward him.

He took one.

Ate it in silence.

Almost growled.

Perfect.

You grinned and walked away without waiting for praise.

And as your presence faded from the room, he stood still — eyes fixed on the map, hand clenched slightly at his side.

“This is a trap,” he muttered. “She’s a walking distraction designed to destroy me.”

But the second cookie was already in his hand.

Romance

He noticed the scent first.

Citrus zest. Vanilla bean. Something warm. Something dangerous.

He didn’t even have to look up. “Is that… lemon pie?”

You appeared next to him, smiling way too sweet for someone who just dropped a forkful of actual witchcraft onto a plate in front of him.

“Fresh out of the oven,” you said. “I made the crust myself.”

He blinked.

You looked perfect — hair up in a messy bun that somehow still looked deliberate, cheeks glowing, a few flour specks still dusted over your apron. You smelled like sunshine and sugar and something far too soft for his chest.

He took a bite.

Paused.

Made the faintest groan of pleasure.

“You okay?” you asked, laughing.

“Marry me.”

You blinked. “What?”

He wiped his mouth, stood, and leaned against the counter like nothing had happened. “I said — hypothetically — if someone brought me a dessert that good, looked that good, and smelled like a five-star dream, I’d marry them on the spot.”

You rolled your eyes. “Romance.”

He grinned. “What? Just saying.”

You handed him a napkin, still smiling. “There’s more in the fridge if you want later.”

He watched you walk out — hips swaying, laughter fading down the hall — and exhaled like he’d just seen heaven.

Baby passed by and raised a brow. “You look like you just saw an angel.”

Romance nodded, dazed. “I did. And she bakes. I’m done for.”

He turned back to his lyrics, flipped to a new page, and wrote at the top:

"She smells like sugar and I forgot how to breathe."

Baby

Baby didn’t even register the door opening.

Not until he caught the smell.

Garlic. Herbs. Cheese. Creamy pasta.

He glanced up — and forgot how to blink.

There you were. Hair soft and tucked behind your ears. No makeup, and somehow still prettier than any photo he’d ever seen. Cozy shirt, loose joggers, but still somehow hot enough to make him forget how to sit like a normal person.

“Oh hey,” you said casually. “I brought you dinner.”

“You what now?”

You walked up, handed him the plate, and sat beside him like you hadn’t just rocked his entire reality.

“I made extra,” you added. “Hope you’re hungry.”

He took one bite.

And almost melted.

Creamy. Savory. Perfectly cooked. Just enough spice.

He stared at the plate.

Then at you.

“You did this? Like…with your hands?”

You grinned. “Do I look like I summoned it out of thin air?”

“You look like you could,” he said honestly.

You laughed — loud and unfiltered — and that was the final blow.

He couldn’t take it anymore.

You were always clean, always glowing, always smelled like something soft and edible. You made food like a chef. You told jokes better than he did. You always had gum. You never tripped. Your socks matched. He was convinced you weren’t real.

You handed him a napkin and nudged his shoulder. “What? You’re staring.”

He looked down. “Nah, I just…” He rubbed the back of his neck. “You’re literally perfect, Y/N.”

You blinked. “What?”

“I said—” he coughed, playing it off, “—this pasta’s perfect. Like you. I mean — not you, I mean—”

You raised a brow, smirking.

He buried his face in the plate. “Forget it.”

Later that night, he muttered into his pillow:

“She makes pasta, smells like heaven, laughs like a goddess, and looks like that? I’m gonna marry her or die trying.”

I love your luffy fics 🥺!! Could I request an experienced female reader x virgin luffy but where he does know what sex is because I find fics where luffy is shown to be completely clueless about it to be a little strange 😅

More Than Curious

╰┈➤ pairing: Luffy x female! reader

a/n: none

summary: Luffy, though a virgin, shares an intimate and emotionally tender first time with you—one filled with curiosity, care, and genuine love.

wc: 3.0k

contains: 18+ nsfw, virgin!Luffy, protected sex, soft dom!Luffy, lots of kissing, emotional vulnerability, slow burn to smut, fluff afterward

The Going Merry—well, now the Thousand Sunny—was quiet for once. A rare kind of quiet, filled only with the gentle lapping of waves against the ship’s hull and the occasional creak of the wood beneath your feet. Most of the crew had already turned in after dinner. You stayed up, claiming to enjoy the night air, but in truth, you were just waiting for him.

And there he was.

“Hey,” Luffy grinned, swinging down from the crow’s nest and landing beside you with an easy thud. His hair was tousled, his vest unbuttoned from the heat of the day, and his straw hat tilted back to show his eyes. “You didn’t sleep either?”

You smiled. “Didn’t feel like it.”

“Me neither. Too quiet.” He plopped down next to you, legs stretched out, hands behind his head. “I was thinking about stuff.”

You glanced at him. “Stuff?”

“Yeah.” His expression turned contemplative, a rare look on Luffy. “About you. About us.”

That caught you off guard. “Us?”

He nodded. “I like being around you. It feels... different. Not like with the others.”

You tried to keep your voice steady. “Different how?”

“Like I don’t want to just fight with you. Or eat meat with you. I wanna... hold you. All the time. And kiss you. Even more.” He looked at you now, eyes warm but serious. “You make me feel things I don’t really know how to explain.”

You swallowed, heart pounding. “That’s normal, Luffy.”

“I know. I’m not dumb about this stuff,” he said, surprisingly quiet. “Sanji talks enough for me to figure it out.”

You laughed softly. “I’m not sure Sanji is the best teacher.”

“Probably not,” Luffy agreed, then turned to face you fully. “But I do know what sex is. I just haven’t done it. Ever. Not even close.”

You blinked, surprised by his blunt honesty.

“And I know most people think I don’t get it,” he added, eyes flickering down to your lips, then back up again. “But I do. I’m not ready with just anyone. I think I’m ready with you, though.”

Your breath hitched. You studied him—his flushed ears, his slightly nervous fingers playing with a frayed thread on his shorts, the way he wasn’t stretching or joking like usual. This wasn’t impulsive Luffy. This was sincere, intentional Luffy.

“You’re sure?”

“I’m sure,” he said without hesitation. “But I want to go slow. I don’t wanna mess it up.”

You leaned in and kissed him—soft, tender, reverent. His breath hitched against your lips, and then he kissed back, deeper this time, with all the enthusiasm you’d expect from him and none of the clumsiness. His hands settled at your waist like he was still learning your shape, holding you carefully.

You pulled back just enough to whisper, “We can go slow. As slow as you want.”

His answering grin was shaky but real. “Good. I wanna remember all of it.”

Inside your room on the Sunny, things moved with uncharacteristic tenderness.

Luffy’s touch was curious but reverent—calloused fingers trailing over your skin like he was mapping you with purpose. He asked questions softly:

“Does this feel good?” “Can I take this off?” “Will you show me, too?”

And you did. You guided him gently—showing him where to touch, how to kiss, when to move slower or press harder. He listened to every breath you made like it was a captain’s order. The moment his lips wrapped around your nipple, you gasped, and his eyes lit up in delight.

“I made you do that,” he said, grinning against your skin.

You laughed breathlessly. “Yes, you did.”

Luffy had always been a fast learner in battle. Turns out, that skill translated. Every moan from you made him bolder, hungrier—but still gentle. Still focused.

When he finally pushed inside you, it was slow—achingly so. His arms were trembling from restraint, his jaw clenched, and his forehead pressed against yours.

“Fuck,” he whispered, voice cracking. “You’re so warm. So tight.”

“You okay?” you murmured, stroking his cheek.

He nodded quickly, then paused. “Actually... I feel like I might explode. In a good way.”

You giggled, wrapping your arms around his neck. “That’s normal, Captain.”

He kissed you then, messy and slow, rocking into you like he was syncing his rhythm with your heartbeat. The way he looked at you—with awe, with tenderness, with raw, unfiltered need—made your stomach flip. This wasn’t just physical. This was something Luffy had never done before, and he was giving it to you.

His climax was sudden, a sharp gasp followed by a low moan in your ear as he spilled into the condom you’d pressed into his hand earlier. He stayed buried in you for a long moment, breathing hard, face buried in your neck.

“I didn’t last long,” he mumbled.

You kissed his temple. “You were perfect.”

He pulled back to look at you, a boyish smile on his face. “I wanna do it again. And again. And again.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Right now?”

He grinned. “Well, maybe in a minute. My legs feel like jelly.”

You both broke into laughter, collapsing into the bed together, arms tangled, skin damp, hearts full.

Later

Luffy nuzzled into your neck, straw hat forgotten on the floor, his voice muffled against your skin.

“Thanks for being my first.”

You stroked his back. “Thanks for trusting me with it.”

He looked up, eyes clearer than the ocean around the ship. “You’re mine now, right?”

You smiled. “Yeah. I’m yours.”

His grin widened. “Good. 'Cause I’m yours, too.”

May be a bit strange to ask, but where did the idea for the dlc come from?

There were a lot of cut basegame route ideas and a way to let my brain process not adding them to the game was to say "if the game does well, I GUESS I could do DLCs one day."

Roger's route was one notable example. I wrote Roger + Peter's basegame scene and felt a hunger to show more of the factory off, build on the plotline I'd written just for that scene. Given how much I had on my plate with the basegame already, I decided it was an idea to potentially revisit after release, y'know, if people were interested in seeing more.

There was also another cut route involving the head of the Mob (which made it the closest of the cut routes to being a basegame route, only being cut before Oliver's route began production), a Jerry route idea, a Fusco route idea... Olandy was also one of these ideas.

The idea originally stemmed from an idea for a joke ending. Randy's route is kind of a relic in that it's structured differently from the other routes. Not only does Randy's route allow you to continue exploring the town AFTER agreeing to meet him, but there's also a day 2 free roam segment where you search for him. Originally, all of the routes were going to have a day 2 with new stuff to see, before I realized I was essentially planning to add a bunch of content that would've just padded the routes out at best, wasted time with content nobody would see at worst (how many people are aware God currently has a 10k word scene on day 2 of Randy's route, after all?)

Anyway, Olandy started off as a funny idea. In most cases, there's a simple failsafe that prevents you from double dating. The option to ask Karen out and visit Bigfoot simply get disabled as options. However, since Oliver asks YOU out the moment he sees you (if you play with a phone head), I added a different failsafe that stops this happening if you've already told Randy you're going to meet him, where he essentially gives you the Typewriter greeting instead if it's your first time meeting him.

Briefly, I considered adding a side ending where you could have Oliver ask you out as normal after agreeing to meet Randy, then arrive with Oliver, only for Randy to already be there. This would've been an awkward encounter to say the least. But, the more I thought about it, the more likely I found it that Randy would begrudgingly agree to enter with both you and Oliver since both characters already know each other and Randy's already ditched work for you.

From there, I began wondering what a Randy + Oliver route would look like and gradually warmed up to the idea, to the point where I genuinely considered adding the route to the basegame for a time. When the game came out and people started shipping them, I figured it was worth revisiting the ideas I already wanted to do.

The only DLC ideas that weren't ever considered as basegame routes involves one with a character I hadn't come up with and the final idea on the list, which is something else entirely.

What the TR character you're crushing on says about you?

Having been a part of this fandom long enough, I have noticed some patterns...

⚠️ This WILL trigger (some of) you, 'cause I WILL be exposing and calling you out! It's gonna get real below the cut, so read at your own risk. ⚠️

F reader/hetero dynamic; the reader is toxic; crack

🚨 Disclaimer 🚨

Please don't take any of this seriously in any way, there is no offense meant whatsoever! I love all of the TR characters, and I'm myself guilty of simping for quite a few of them, so no judgement here at all. I wrote this for shits & giggles and the sole purposes of humor and entertainment, like I always do. So, have fun with it, and if you also manage to have a laugh at it, I'll consider my mission completed! Peace 🩷

P.S. I really hope none of this actually resonates with your real life experiences, but if any of it does, here's a piece of big-sisterly advice - please value and love yourself more, and reexamime which trauma responses make you act in that way.

MIKEY, KAZUTORA, SANZU

You either A) suffer from a terminal case of I-can-fix-him-itis, or B) your coddling, nurturing, mothering instincs are running amok. Most likely it's both at the same time - you see the red flags as a call for aid instead of warning signs of danger.

TAKEMICHI, SHINICHIRO

You go for a kind but pathetic, golden-retriever-energy man, who's okay with being at your beck and call at all times. You're actually just a control freak who thrives on bossing others around because you're afraid of letting go.

NAOTO

You're boring as hell and have the personality of unseasoned boiled chicken. You probably have a thing for authority figures, and your deepest, darkest desire is to be handcuffed to a bedpost, so that's why you think police officers are sexy. You'd never in a million years admit that to anyone, not even to yourself, 'cause it would ruin your slyly crafted 'innocent good girl' personna.

DRAKEN

Oh you lil' homewrecker, you're into taken guys! A guy being married or in a relationship has never stopped you from pursuing him. You don't believe in 'off limits' either, and would gladly date your best friend's ex, or even try to steal her crush. Nasty business!

BAJI, KOKO, INUPI

You get turned on when a guy is clearly not into you. You're just twisted like that. You see how kind-hearted he is towards his friends and close ones, and how dedicated he is to his purpose, so you wait in hopes that he might spare some of that for you too, but deep down you know he doesn't give a damn about you, yet that makes you cling even harder.

MITSUYA, CHIFUYU, AKKUN

You're sane and you know a keeper when you see one. You might play it too safe at times, but better safe than sorry, amirite?

HAKKAI

You have a corruption kink and draw sadistic pleasure from torturing the innocent souls.

PAH, PEH, ANGRY, MOCCHI

You see beyond the appearances. You go for personality and good heart. You long for a genuine connection and don't care about the surface-level stuff. Not! You're just a hipster who thinks it makes you so, so cool that you're forcing yourself to be into "unconventionally attractive" guys!

SMILEY

You're either just as much of a chaotic gremlin as he is, or you're a sub-category of the I-can-fix-him gang.

HAITANI BROTHERS

You have no taste of your own, you just ride any hype train that is trending at the moment. You're most likely chasing a specific "aesthetic" you saw on TikTok instead of knowing what you like. Either that, or you're just desperate for external validation so badly that you would willingly allow a guy to treat you like shit as long as he's considered attractive enough that it'd make your girlfriends jealous of you for getting to date him.

IZANA

You're likely just as toxic as he is, if not even more than him! You think abuse is affection and trauma bonding is intimacy. You may have more than one mental disorder, sooo, yeah... birds of feather flock together.

KISAKI, MADARAME

For the love of me, I cannot figure out what might be wrong with you! But something definitely is. Big time. Better get it professionally checked before it's too late.

HANMA, TAIJU, SOUTH

You're most likely 160 cm or shorter, so you don't care about any red flags as long as the guy's tall enough. If you cannot see the red flag 'cause it's waving way too far above your eye level, that's the same as no red flag, right? Right?!

MUCHO, KAKUCHO, BENKEI

Okay, I hear you, girl! Your type is the 3S - strong, silent, and stoic. And honestly, nothing wrong with that!

WAKASA

Emotional unavailability is your criptonite! You're also very superficial, so you deliberately ignore the red flags for pretty faces, and choose F boys only to later complain how all men are trash.

TAKEOMI

If you're a teen or in your early 20s, this just screams Fatherless Behavior™️! Like, girl, dial those daddy issues down, we're going deaf over here... If you're a full-fledged adult with developed prefrontal cortex, well, sorry to break it to you, honey, but you just have a really, really poor taste in men.

A LAKE HOUSE MORNING ⋆ JH86

how I think early mornings at the hughes lake house would go with each brother. jack’s version <3 jack’s had me in the biggest choke hold for months now. I think i’m converting to a jack girly 😪

read: quinn’s version and luke’s version

you hear the clatter of pans and cutlery as you make your way down the stairs of the lake house, sunlight streaming in through windows all over the house that quinn must have opened earlier, just as he does every morning.

you follow the noise all the way to the kitchen, stopping in the doorway and leaning against the entryway, watching your boyfriend as he makes breakfast.

he was standing in front of the stove, wearing a pair of swim shorts, the blue shade coincidentally matching the blue bikini you were currently wearing, covered by one of his shirts.

you stand there for a good five minutes, admiring the way his back muscles strain as he moves stuff around. when he eventually turns around he jumps back briefly, eyes widening as he sees you.

“shit baby. make some noise will you?” he says, putting a hand on his chest and you giggle at his slightly breathless tone.

“sorry, I was just enjoying the view” you tease, letting your eyes run over his chest that was now turned to you.

“fuck,” he says, the word coming out soft and a little choked up as he returns the favour and lets his eyes run up and down your figure. he suddenly couldn’t handle the sight of you standing there all perfect, bikini strings peaking out the top of an old shirt of his that you cut the collar off of. hair still slightly messy from sleep. he rubs that palm that was still over his chest a few times, as if that could help ease whatever emotion was currently overwhelming him.

“what?” you ask softly, padding over to him and wrapping your arms tightly around his waist, your face smooshing into the centre of his chest, breathing him in.

“I’m just happy you’re here,” he mumbles against your head, pressing kisses on your temple.

“I bet you say that to all the girls,” you tease, genuinely just making a joke but jack never took it well when you or anyone else tried to undermine what he felt for you.

“I don’t,” he promises, pecking your nose softly. “this was the first year I was seriously contemplating not coming to the lake house. if you said no, I would’ve went wherever you went. and that’s a big deal for me you know, with how little time I get to see quinn” he says and your heart speeds up, both at his words and at the way his hands sneak under your shirt, resting on your bare waist.

“I’m glad I decided to come here. it’s been my favourite summer by far,” you admit smiling and jack can’t help but mirror it.

“really?” he asks, his tone hopeful, as if he’s been worrying about your fun the whole summer. needing to be reassured that you’ve been having a good time with him, and his friends, his brothers, in his house.

“really,” you confirm with a nod and he lets out a happy little giggle that you want to bottle up and replay every second of every day.

“we’re matching,” he mumbles, tugging at the strings of your swim suit. “I like that”

before you can reply the annoying blare of the fire alarm goes off and jack winces, turning around and cursing as he removes a pan containing now crispy-burnt pancake from the stovetop.

you can’t help but giggle as he takes an oven mitt and waves it under the fire alarm hoping it will quiet down.

“thing is so sensitive I swear,” jack mutters as it finally stops. “wanna go out for breakfast?”

“what about your brothers?” you ask biting your lip as you contemplate

“we can bring them something back. quinn ran to the store, and luke was definitely woken up by that alarm so it’s in our best interest to leave the house, seriously,” he states, grabbing his keys and you laugh softly. jack’s little brother was definitely not a morning person.

he drags you out the front door just as you hear a muffled “jack what the fuck!” coming from upstairs.

“I don’t even have pants on” you giggle as he pulls you and opens the passenger seat door of his car

“I don’t have a shirt” he shrugs sending you a cheeky smile, “we’ll go through a drive through don’t worry” he continues, kissing your cheek before running over to the drivers side.

best summer by far.

my thoughts on krusie:

a lot of things i think make them a good pair romantically can also be said about them platonically. same thing for why i find their relationship pretty devastating.

they are pretty similar people which is why they get along. all of the moments of them being weird are a highlight of ch 4. kris struggles with self hatred, more so in the weird route, but i think those feelings still exist in the normal route. susie makes them feel ok being who they are. susie is also the only one who we know has made kris smile or laugh, which i also think is very special.

of course, susie is going to find out about us at some point, which of course will be devastating. she already has all of these insecurities about friendship and about her friends being “real” or if they just see that friendship as a joke, so that’ll definitely be crushing. i don’t think she’ll be able to process that kris does genuinely care for her. then kris is also working with the knight. those two realizations combined will destroy their relationship. i hope it can recover, but i’m not sure. i do think kris wants to chose their friends over the knight, but they are shackled by this promise they made.

then, additionally devastating when looking at their relationship as non-platonic, is susie’s relationship with noelle. i’m like, 90% sure kris has a crush on susie. it is still up in the air, but i’m pretty confident. most players want to see noelle and susie get together. the concept of kris trying to set their crush up with someone else by the will of the being controlling them is kinda horrifying. but i think kris will go along with this because of their self hatred and because of the soul and their deal with the knight. also i think they want noelle to be happy. to kris, noelle is deserving of susie while they are not.

part of me is hoping that the whole “garden scorched by jealousy” thing isn’t just referring to asgore being jealous of sans, but kris being jealous of noelle. obviously, it’d be a more complicated jealousy because kris cares for noelle. that’s honestly why i kinda hope it’s a double meaning. but, i also think kris won’t want to get in the way of what noelle and susie have.

basically, if kris has feelings for susie, they will keep those feelings to themself. they might be unrequited, but they might not, and kris is just shooting themself in the foot by not asking susie out. but, noelle’s feelings are also part of this equation, which makes everything messier. this is a bit of a side note, but i could see her asking kris in ch 5 not to third wheel at the festival, but i also don’t know how we the player would see the suselle festival date if they aren’t there??? ofc, i love krusielle, but idk if these three are gonna be able to figure out their feelings for each other like that at age 15-16.

this was a really long post and i may have repeated myself a bit in different places, but i just really love krusie. i still have more thoughts about the similarities between kris and noelle’s feelings for susie, so that’ll be another post sometime soon. i’ll also probably make some kriselle posts because they are actually my favorite deltarune ship.

[cloverapple]

okay so i understand your point that once I decide I'll have it, If I decide I'll wake yp in my dr I will, if I don't ses my dr that just means it's an illusion because its not possible for the intention to not work. But how/when does the physical change? I have been doing the similar thing for a while, intending to shift and then whennI still see my cr I say "I have shifted, I'm already there, I just don't see it yet because my brain is taking time processing the chage" but I tell this to myself for weeks and still the 3d doesn't change. I don't understand what to do now like I get it it's just an illusion or wtv but all I after MONTHS is my stupid cr and then it get s harder to keep this facade and then I start thinking maybe that wasn't enough effort or wtv but another part of my mid also thinks and says there's no such thing as enough effort, you didn't do anything wrong. I am conflicted if I did do everything right, why isn't the illusion fading away? why am I still here?

Anon, I want to hug you so bad because you sound exactly like me in the weeks before I finally shifted 😭

I was crashing out, spiraling, tearing my hair out because every method, every piece of advice, every “just let go and trust” post felt like bullshit. I couldn’t figure out why I was still in my CR, why it wasn’t working, why I felt broken, why it felt like everyone else could shift except me.

Turns out I wasn’t broken. There was nothing wrong with me. And there’s nothing wrong with you. At all.

I can’t promise everything I say will click for you as everyone’s different. I write for myself, for the me who couldn’t shift, who blamed my CR, my ADHD, my brain, who thought I was the problem, who spent hours comparing myself to strangers on the internet who could shift and made it look so easy.

And in the end, it was paying attention to the weird, nonsensical cracks in reality that moved me forward, not the neat “just persist and assume” advice everyone repeats. It’s not always pretty, but it’s real. And it might help some people because back then, I wish I had someone telling me I wasn’t doing anything wrong.

Maybe you’re not one of those people, and that’s okay. You should adopt what genuinely resonates with you and brings you peace, not what frustrates you.

But if you’re one of those people who’s sick of techniques that don’t work, of posts screaming “YOU ARE GOD” while you’re still stuck, of meditation that doesn’t stick, I want you to know this:

1) Wavering means absolutely nothing in the face of your decision and intention.

It’s like studying for a test, thinking you bombed it, spiraling the entire week about how you’re a failure and deluded—and then you get your score back, and it’s totally fine, and you realize you had nothing to worry about.

Of course, I’m not invalidating what you’re going through in your CR. I don’t know you or your struggles. But I do know you don’t need to ignore your CR for shifting to work. You can, and it’s a valid method that works for many. But ignoring reality is hard for some of us, and it might be hard for you too. That’s okay.

Don’t treat your CR like a place you need to get rid of immediately. It’s just one of many realities your awareness encompasses. Wavering doesn’t “put you back at square one.” You’re not living a facade. That implies your intention isn’t real when it is.

2) If you’ve been doing this for months, that’s months of proof that the intention is set. And you cannot deny that. You’ve intended to shift for months. That means the outcome is yours, and the only thing left is to get out of your own way. You don’t need to add more, try harder, or scramble for a missing piece. The action was done, and you can’t intend to succeed and fail. Sure, you can observe your outcome as failure, and that’s what keeps people in the loop, usually. Not seeing their DR after X amount of time = they’re failing.

3) Honestly, if everything I say sounds overwhelming? That’s okay too.

Let it suck. Let yourself say, “Okay, this doesn’t resonate with me right now,” and drop it. Let yourself explore, learn yourself, and place your power in yourself, never in any outside source. You’re not wrong. You’re not failing. You don’t have to rush. It’s already yours.

It makes total sense that you’re feeling frustrated seeing your CR day after day while knowing you’ve done everything right. It’s not silly or wrong to feel that way. It’s not wavering, it’s not failing, it’s not messing up your shifting. It’s simply noticing what you perceive is showing up, and that’s okay. It is okay to see your CR.

Don’t interpret seeing your CR as failure, even if you intend to be here for whatever reason, because it’s yours. It’s yours.

4) You’re using “seeing your CR” as proof that you’re not in your DR, when actually: “Seeing CR” isn’t proof of anything except your mind’s expectation that you should see CR until something else proves to you that you’re in your DR.

You’re in a loop that looks like: “Okay, I don’t see my DR, so I need to do something else, I need to keep trying, because this didn’t work.”

That loop is what I call continuity attachment, and it’s the mind’s familiar habit of:

“Do the action.”

“Check if the result happened.”

“If not, assume it didn’t work and try again.”

But the truth is: Creation (observation, shifting, deciding hat reality you want) is instant. The moment you intend to be in your DR, it’s done. You can’t intend to succeed and fail, period.

You know when you’re suuuper tired, get in bed, intend to sleep, and then don’t sleep? It’s not because you got in bed wrong, or didn’t intend to sleep. It’s because the moment you didn’t immediately fall asleep, you thought “oh great, now I’m not getting any sleep” and kept turning it over in your mind; how the bed’s uncomfortable, how you’re probably not going to sleep at all tonight, how tomorrow will suck because you didn’t get any sleep. All the while, all you needed to do was get out of your own way and let whatever happen. Say “fuck it, I don’t care if I sleep or not”....which ends up being the rest you needed.

You rest because you let yourself rest, you let your mind shut up because you don’t care anymore and know that this form of giving up sleeping is, in itself, the rest you needed. And then you fall asleep, which begs the question: were you always asleep?

5) Part of the illusion is that you need to see physical evidence to confirm it. The “waiting” and “checking” are illusions of continuity, where the mind says: “It must take time, so let me check if it’s happened yet.”

You aren’t doing anything wrong by noticing you’re still seeing your CR. It’s valid to feel upset, to want your DR now, to feel exhausted. It doesn’t stop you from shifting. It doesn’t cancel out your intention.

How I view it is: If I intended, then it’s impossible for me to fail.

And that: “Seeing CR can’t be proof I’m not in my DR, because if I’ve done the cause, the outcome must be there, and the perception of ‘not having’ is the illusion.”

6) Time is also part of the illusion. Creation/observation is instant, but the mind believes in gradual change, in waiting, in “processing” the shift. Once you see that’s not real, it begins to unravel. What you can do now:

You don’t need to “try harder.” You don’t need to “fix” anything. You don’t need to fight your CR, ignore it, or force yourself to feel a certain way.

Instead: Let it feel strange that you did the action but still “see CR.” Let that confusion open the crack in the illusion. Sit in the knowing that you already did it, and nothing else needs to happen. Let the comfort of that realization settle in, because it will unravel reality.

You are not failing. You have not messed up your shift. You are not stuck because you feel bad or notice your CR. You’re in the exact place you need to be, and now you’re seeing how flimsy the illusion is because you’re frustrated.

Nothing can take away what you intended. Let it be weird, let it unravel, and let yourself relax into the absolute bs it is that your action (intention) had “no outcome.” You need to look at proof? I don’t blame you. I love proof. But remember that the proof is the intention, not the outcome.

If you bake a cake from scratch, toss it in the oven, and go into another room, do you still need to go check if you have the cake? No, the proof is there even when you can’t see it.

“What if I’m still seeing CR after months?”

You can live normally, react to 3D, laugh, cry, be human, and still know you’re in your DR. Because your DR isn’t a place you get to by seeing it. It’s a place you’re in because you decided, and it was done.

Your method didn’t fail. It worked. The only reason it feels like it didn’t is because you’re checking your CR for proof, and you think that proof in your CR is seeing your DR. When the proof is that....you did it.

hiccup x plus size / chubby reader headcannons? (maybe spicy!!) plz and ty!! 💞

Okay, so, I'll try spicy headcanons which will be marked before they start so if you don't want to read them you can scroll past of click away :) I LOVE BEING CHUBBY/PLUS SIZE AND WRITING FOR GIRLIES LIKE ME MWUAH MWUAH MWUAH

Theres wayyy more SFW than NSFW though just a warning 😭

Warnings: cussing, smut, suggestive content, uhhh yeah

SFW

- Hiccup genuinely thinks you're the most gorgeous girl to ever walk the earth. You fight like a war goddess, but love like the sun loves the sky.

- Hiccup isn't weak and I think a lot of people forget that. He worked in a forge for years 😭 he punched Snotlout with his non dominant hand and KNOCKED HIM TF OUT. He's strong contrary to popular speculation. He can definitely pick you up. In fact, his favorite thing to do is pick you up and spin you around before kissing you. (Yes the Disney princess kiss)

- His love language to give is physical touch. He loves holding your hand, or having his hand on your back.

- Honestly, he just loves being yours. He always makes jokes about you being a goddess or nymph sent to him.

- Now, in Norse times, you would be considered the pinnacle of beauty for your plush figure. But there's always that one person. That one person that makes a comment. (They're the odd one out everyone else compliments your wide hips and soft tummy) and Hiccup? Loses it. He doesn't crash out often, but when he does it's either extremely valid, or defending you.

- Loves sleeping next to you and holding you. Sometimes Toothless tries to sleep in between you both because he feels left out. You never complain, in fact you always make space for the dragon.

- Always says you smell good, which is true. Extremely true.

- Has imagined what you would look like at a wedding. Sorry, not A wedding. Your wedding. With him as your spouse.

- Loves when you give him a lil fashion show, showing off what you got from trader Johan(before... y'know...) He thinks it is the highest honor he could receive from you.

- speaking of, he's an inventor. Of course he loves you to the point of invention. Loves you above it. You complain about how hot you get? He makes you a hand fan. Complain about how your thighs rub together when you walk and it hurts or they run so much to the point there's holes (has happened to me😔 it sucks)? He's making pants that are reinforced there and if you wanna wear a skirt? He finds a way to make something for under so they don't touch.

- He's not a guy to show off, but he's not embarrassed of you. Quite the opposite, he's so proud he bagged you. He shows you off in quiet ways. “My girlfriend gave me this…” or “She’s my beloved of course she’s amazing” and stuff like that.

- Will never admit to your face that he loves walking behind you… cuz… yeah. He says it’s to watch and make sure you’re safe. Nah. He’s a man with taste.

- Always reassuring, but never pushy. If you think something looks bad on you, he’ll say he thinks you look gorgeous, but if you genuinely feel uncomfortable, that you should change into something you’ll feel better in. To him, your best look is when you feel confident and comfortable in what you wear.

- if anyone flirts with you he’s like… uh… no. Ew. She’s mine. Just kidding, he glares at them until they leave you alone. His silence is scarier than any yelling.

- Didn’t think a literal goddess like you would ever like a guy like him. Like… ever. He seriously thought you were into ANY other guy in the village. ANY other guy.

- When he asked you to be his, he was a stammering… nervous wreck. Like he was shaking. It was all worth it when he got your enthusiastic answer, and a kiss on the cheek.

- Keeps every promise.

- Kisses every stretch mark, and every insecurity you may have. Because the things you hate about yourself are the things he lives the most. He doesn’t understand how you look at yourself and see anything other than perfection.

- If traders don’t bring things in your size he’s like… “UNACCEPTABLE!” He would pay triple the amount of it meant you had quality clothes that fit you. Hel, he’s commissioning Snotlout to sew for you at this point 😭

⚠️NSWF⚠️MINORS DNI AFTER THIS POINT⚠️

- A giver. He says he could spend hours between your thighs and he means it.

- Speaking of which, he loves your thighs. Grabbing them, squeezing them, leaving hickeys on them…

- Has definitely fantasized about using your thighs to get off.

- The first time he saw you naked he, and these are his own words,

“Gods you’re so hot I almost just-“

“H-hiccup!”

“What? I’m serious. Almost finished just from that… you’re so gorgeous my love…”

- Remember I said he kisses all your stretch marks? Yeah I meant it. That’s how most of your lil sessions started.

- He loves praises, both giving and receiving, but loves to praise you.

“You’re so pretty under me baby…”

“You take it so well…”

“My pretty girl…”

- Oh, uh he loves when you ride him. The way he can see everything… your thighs on either side of his hips… how your body moves while you’re on top of him…

“Gods you’re so pretty… look at you… riding me like that. You’re incredible…”

- …Secretly he wants to ask you to sit on his face but is to nervous to actually do it so he’ll stick to being a munch for now, until he gains the courage to do so

LU headcanon time! Do you think they have any "tells" when they lie?

Yes!

I think it's more just anxious tells in general, and some of them share them!

As Nan can attest, a big thing I like to keep consistent in my writing is what we call "ear continuity": Legend, Time, and Twilight all have very expressive ears.

My HC is that hylian children have extraordinarily expressive ears when they're young, but as they get older, they lose some of that mobility and their ears stiffen some more (they're soften when they're young probably to make birth easier). Yes, this would mean babies have the floppiest little pointed ears 😍

However! Because of their animal forms, Legend and Twilight retain their ears' mobility! Which means that you can always tell how they actually feel, regardless of all other signs, because their ears' give them away!

Time is different though; because of his frequent transitions between childhood and adulthood, some things got stuck, so when his adventure ended, his ears never grew out of expressing his emotions, meanwhile he probably also ended up with some adult related alterations as well (perhaps hormone fluctuations quite early on, which might be the cause for his increased height the second time around LOL)

So, for these three, their ears' twitching and flicking down tends to be something of a tell. Twilight also tends to chew at his cheek lining when he's nervous or stressed, so that serves as a decent tell. Legend, on the other hand, tends to flush bright red (or at least his ears do)

I think for Four, he can't make eye contact when he's lying. He'll fake it by focusing on someone's nose or their hair, but he genuinely can't look anyone in the eyes.

Wind tends to shuffle his feet a bit, toes twitching or fingers rubbing together. He also has trouble looking people in the eyes and tends to flush a LOT. Grandma raised him better than to lie, and so he gets very ashamed when he has to. Stretching the truth? That he can do, but straight up making stuff up that never happened/isn't real? Yeah, no, he's got Granny's voice in his head and keeps imagining her all disappointed and it breaks him pretty quick.

Hyrule's wings flicker a bit more when he's lying. Granted, he doesn't have physical wings in his Hylian form, but it does effect his magic, as it tends to waver and falter some. He also acts just a bit too sure of himself when he's lying, which is more a tell then the magic/wing thing.

Warriors gets visibally nervous when he has to lie. He is very unused to needing to, and has had any skill he used to have with it trained out of him by the army. There's a small part of him that is well aware of the Consequences of lies in the army and it's screaming it's head off if he tries to say anything he doesn't actually believe. He gets super stiff and stares dead ahead like he's at attention if/when he actually does lie, and he's probably the most obvious out of the lot because he can't lie for dip.

Sky has no tells. Sky feels no shame about lying when it suits him. No one's ever sure if they can take what he says as truth or not once they figure this out.

Wild is similar. It depends on his mindset because, as a princess's knight, he was both taught not to lie but also how to do so when he had to, and so while sometimes he's just as unreadable as Sky, other times he's not. His tell is staring. He will stare firmly at you as if daring you to challenge him, but if he's not sure of the lie or is in the wrong mindset, he'll look away first. He also stares when he tells the truth though, which muddles it a bit for others at least a bit.

Thanks for the ask!

just watched rumble fish and I can’t stop thinking about ponyboy!reader x rusty james😞

like she’s super philosophical n stuff all the time and she’ll say somethin deep and he’ll just look at her like “wtf are you on about”

Hii! Thank you for the request, I hope you enjoy <3 🤍

Warnings: fem!reader

Rusty-James x philosophical Ponyboy!reader headcannons

- Being honest, when Rusty-James first met you, he thought you were extremely weird and was freaked out by you because of how quiet you were and how spaced out you always seemed. He felt as though you could see something he couldn’t, and his dumbass was genuinely uncomfortable

- You confused him because you sometimes hung out with the gangs, but he couldn’t wrap his head around how you could possibly fit in

- Though he was surprised when he overheard you giving them really good advice about one of the fights that was due to go down that night, and when they successfully ran that gang out of town, he couldn’t get you out of his head

- You mainly hung out with Steve, as you were both on the quiet and intelligent side 

- He eventually warmed up to you when he saw how well you got along with Steve, though he still wasn’t really sure how to communicate with you and definitely would not talk to you on his own

- Though he figured if he could be best friends with Steve, he could get along with you

- He would randomly sit at your booth at Benny’s and talk to you, offering you a coke

- The more he spoke to you the more he realised that he was being an idiot this whole time 

- You reminded him of his brother, the Motorcycle Boy, which made him feel safe with you and he really began to like you

- He enjoyed days where it was just you, him, and Steve, where the three of you would just hang around and he could get a break from violence

- He got really jealous when you and Steve would talk about things he didn’t understand, so he started inviting you to spend time with him on your own, saying Steve was busy

- You really liked him. He was so different to you and he was so real, he didn’t hide anything and you admired that

- You would just talk about anything whilst he smoked, just liking to hear your voice and watch you talk about things that meant a lot to you

- He is really protective of you. Though you are incredibly smart, he sees you as vulnerable and knows what types of guys are around

- He loves how gentle you are, especially when it’s just you and him alone on the couch and he can just lay on your chest while you play with his hair

- You try to get him to read more, but he prefers when you read to him 

- Sometimes you say things that really catch him off guard, like he’ll be talking about a fight he had and you just start going on about a philosophical theory that he has no idea about or how it relates to the conversation

- Bewildered stares. All the time. He just stares at you with the blankest eyes and murmurs a ‘What the fuck are you even talkin’ about…”

- Though he doesn’t always understand, he trusts you with everything. He knows that you know, and that’s all that matters to him

- Always listens to everything you say

- He finds you so endearing

- If anyone dares to interrupt you or judge you for the way you speak he’s immediately on their ass

- You two work surprisingly well together. He breaks you out of your shell and you calm him down

- Very touchy. Always has his hands on you or around you, as it supposedly ‘grounds him’

- He tells you about the Motorcycle Boy and how you would really like him. The two of you are his favourite people that he admires so much

- You two go on long trips together. He’s restless and always needs to be doing something and you just love to visit and explore new places

-You find it really sweet when he tries to bring up something you mentioned, trying to show you that he does listen

- Deep down, he’s afraid that you’ll leave him. He prays that you never do

I saw you like Nicki/Eleni. I've never heard of them as a pairing so I'm curious. What are your thoughts about them?

Aaahh where do I even begin omg! It's such an interesting ship to me with A lot going on that I'll do my very best to explain lmao. The thing is, I don't really view them as a 'typical' ship as such. When I think about them and their relationship, they sit in this weird sort of grey area to me in that they're not platonic but they're not exactly in a place of romance either, they sit somewhere outside of both those things.

I've always seen Eleni as something of a mother type figure to Nicki and he's her adopted coven son who she took under her wing when they formed the Theatre des Vampires. But there's something else with them that runs deeper than that for me. I see them as being two people who are deeply bonded in a way that's hard to put a proper label on and define, I think they do love each other but in a very particular kind of way. Although I do adore calling them MotherWife and SonHusband because I think it's funny and it makes me happy and those things do apply to them on some obscure level that in my mind, does give a simple overview to their connection.

I think this sums them up quite well honestly 😂

I don't imagine them instantly bonding though, I think Eleni had to earn Nicki's favour, but she worked hard to get it and it paid off. I see Nicki as having recognised her efforts and seeing them as genuine so over time he learned to trust her and be tolerant and, in my opinion, show her, on some level, a sort of love. Not necessarily as a lover but in a form of gratitude for her treatment of him and dedication to earning a more docile and tolerant side of him.

I view Eleni as being the only person to actually understand Nicki in a way that no one else really does. She knows how to deal with him and control him, which even Armand is often unsuccessful at achieving, and based on how she talks about him in her letters to Lestat in TVL, it's clear to me personally that she really does care for and about him and loves him. She understands that he's Not Doing Okay and that he shouldn't have experienced/be experiencing the Horrors in his life that he's faced. She feels sadness when he dies though she no doubt knew it was inevitable and lets it happen. I think she (and the whole coven tbh) let him go because she loves him and to stop it would be cruel.

And with Nicki, I'm not sure what it is exactly to be perfectly honest, but I've just always imagined him having a good relationship with Eleni. Like, to me, not only is she the only person he really tolerates and likes (post Lestat) but he finds a sense of comfort and companionship with her that no one else gets the privilege of experiencing from him. And I think it's down to Eleni being the one to treat him the nicest, in my mind anyway, and I also imagine her as being the one person who actually treats him like a person instead of just a feral animal in need of taming, or a crazed fledgling who needs to be feared and dominated into submission.

Anyone else would be, and probably is to a degree, skittish around him and/or downright fearful of him, which is understandable to be fair. But at the end of the day, I think a part of why Nicki acts the way he does is because he's angry and scared, so lashing out and causing chaos is how he deals with it, but it doesn't deter Eleni or scare her off. I get the vibe Eleni stands her ground with him and shows him no fear while still showing him kindness and fairness.

Like, she does assert a level of authority and control over him but I don't think it's in a way that is unfair or treating him like an animal, it's more that he's a bit wild sometimes and someone has to do something to calm him down. It's a bit like a parent trying to keep their hyperactive toddler in line, it's nothing malicious but she needs to correct his behaviour so he knows he's in the wrong. Showing aggression towards him or serving him violent punishments isn't respectable to him and sure as hell doesn't make that person 'safe' to be around. Ultimately, the way Nicki is treated by Eleni shows him she can be respected and seen as a 'safe person', whereas everyone else is pretty unfair to him in his eyes, whether they intend to be or not.

So yeah, I think through a series of kind actions from Eleni along with her maternal nature (imo), Nicki saw in her someone he could rely on and find comfort in, and over time it turned into a strong bond between them that lasted until Nicki died.

Delving even deeper into some real headcanon territory here lmao, but I like to think that on Nicki's good nights, he and Eleni were able to relax around each other, and Nicki could reflect something similar to how he used to be when he was more playful and charming, albeit in a slightly skewed manner now and with a touch more deviousness. He might say something mischievous which makes Eleni lightly and playfully slap his arm and scold him, even as she smiles and he doesn't take offence because he knows it's harmless and it's Eleni. He simply flashes her a smile and says something else even more shocking.

Even on Nicki's bad nights, Eleni is someone he can rely on. On the nights when Nicki is upset and even shuts down entirely, Eleni can either be someone to comfort him or simply give him space while ensuring no one else bothers him. He can rant to her, get angry and even throw things if he wants and she'll just hear him out, step in to gently talk him down if needed. When it's directed at someone else, Eleni can be firm with him but not unreasonable and attempt to de-escalate things.

And I don't think Eleni ever has to worry about Nicki turning on her, I think she's more than sure of herself and has gained his trust and affection to the point where she isn't in danger of getting hurt. That's not to say Nicki doesn't lose his temper with her on occasion but he won't do much more than yell at her and demand space.

I have so many thoughts about these two, there's so much about them which I find so fascinating and I adore them 🥹 I know we're not given much at all in canon but the crumbs we do get are really telling to me. The minimal details from canon also just means we get to play around with them and make it our own which is always fun! I just hope I can convince at least someone to get on board to join the current grand total of 2 Nicki/Eleni shippers (myself ofc and my dearest @aunteat, it's just us against the world atm 😂). If I've managed to recruit at least one other person I'll be happy, I just want more people to scream with about them and share all the goodness 🥹

[daddyhoothoot]

You can definitely be skeptical! I totally understand coming straight from the Sherlock fandom (don’t talk to me I’m still upset 15 years later). BUT the fact that Viv and Brandon have had every episode planned out for the entire show for a few years now is a stellar sign! They knew exactly where the story was going the entire time even when it was just beginning! That NEVER happens with tv and the fact that Spindlehorse is still in control of everything is even better for the outcome. Amazon has zero creative control over this show so we don’t have to worry about that.

Viv and Brandon have poured so much heart and soul into Helluva I highly doubt they will drop the ball at the end. I think it’s important to remember what a passion project this is for them (especially Viv since it’s literally her OC’s) and how much the fans mean to them. Without us, they literally wouldn’t have been able to make the show.

Also having met Brandon, he is one of the most genuine people, I don’t think he would give anything less than 100% all the way though and same goes for Viv.

I totally understand being worried about what happens at the end but as I said before, keep in mind Viv prefers happy endings and they also wouldn’t be putting so much work into Stolitz figuring out their relationship if it wasn’t end goals in some form. That doesn’t mean we won’t have possibly some tragic deaths but Viv did say we would eventually find out what happens when hellborn die (if that’ll be in Helluva or Hazbin who knows) so it could very well be dark like Brandon said but have a good outcome.

Also on that note, they’re very good at being realistic about life struggles and having the characters go through things that are relatable in real life, and sadly death does come along with that journey (if that’s what Brandon is referring to).

I truly believe that because they planned it out from the beginning, whatever the outcome, they’ll do Helluva justice and it won’t all be for nothing. They love this show too, it’s so obvious, and they love the fans and I truly don’t believe they’ll let us down.

I feel like I’m one of the few who trust Viv and Brandon to do Helluva justice in the end. I think people take this show too seriously and don’t just enjoy it for what it is. I for one, am glad that they have had it all planned out from the beginning because too many shows have been ruined by writers who don’t know their end goal. Just trust the process guys and enjoy the journey ❤️

“especially when that ship actively erases what makes your fave compelling”

while i do agree to a certain point, i also feel like this comes off as you disregarding the importance of geto in satoru’s life which imho does the very same thing. it’s fine to not ship them romantically tho!! that’s not the point i wanna make here, but as someone who also loves satoru more as his own person rather than as an extension of stsg… i fear it’s also just in the nature of how gege has written them/their dynamic that makes it kinda hard Not to see the ways in which geto influenced satoru (and vice versa) yknow :’)) kenjaku taking advantage of his care for geto during the shibuya incident kinda illustrates this perfectly. platonic or otherwise, geto still clearly meant Something to him if he was able to let himself believe for even a fraction of a moment that his old best friend was still alive, despite being the one who killed him. sure, there’s something to be said about the way people go about shipping them and how often their headcanons bleed into their interpretation of the actual story. but this isn’t just something that was implied in a dubious manner— gege quite literally wrote this into the story intentionally. he doesn’t need to spell it out for it to be clear how important their dynamic is tbh… some things in the story are left up to the individuals interpretation but i don’t necessarily think this is one of those cases (or at least, not as much as you might think 😅)

hey! thank you for being thoughtful in how you approached this—genuinely. i agree that suguru did mean something to satoru. i’ve never argued otherwise. that’s not the point i take issue with. their bond was significant—especially as teens during their jujutsu high years. and of course, shibuya wouldn’t have hit as hard if that history wasn’t there. satoru seeing suguru’s face and hesitating? painful. human. it proves that grief lingers.

but i think what people miss—especially in the romantic framing of their relationship—is where that influence ends. the emotional pull of that past friendship does not automatically make suguru the most formative or defining figure in satoru’s arc. when people treat stsg like it’s the foundation of his character, they end up flattening what actually makes him compelling.

satoru’s entire journey is about carrying unbearable weight alone. about choosing to protect, to teach, to reform a system no one else dared challenge. his students, his ideals, his restraint—those are what define him. reducing that to “he loved his best friend and lost him 🥺” doesn’t just feel limiting—it actively erases the complexity of his morality and the fact that he saves himself. again and again. not because of suguru. but despite what happened with him. so yes—i recognize that suguru was important. but importance doesn’t equal destiny. and importance doesn’t mean immunity from critique, either. suguru is a character who betrayed their ideals, turned genocidal, and the situation he chose to be in forced satoru to kill him. does that grief leave scars? absolutely. but it’s also a fracture, not a lifelong tether.

so when i say “that ship erases what makes him compelling,” i mean that it often reframes his growth and resilience as something born of loss, when really, his strength comes from choosing responsibility—even when it hurts. even when it costs him everything. and i personally think that deserves more attention than the echo of a boy he once knew 🙂‍↕️

i feel so unwell. why does life not come with a guide like what AM I supposed to pursue?? i want to be everything and nothing at once. be someone that people think of often and one that no one knows anything about at the same time. i want (have) to earn a lot of money but also live a bare minimum life with not much importance to it. have responsibilities about things that matter but then also just a carefree life with no pressure. i feel sick. i feel trapped.

Your propaganda for Eggman is so false I'm so sorry he's so much more than just a silly guy.

1) He canonically has 5 PhDs (100% confirmed in the first Sonic movie). He DOES have a doctrate.

2) He has built robots capable of helping him achieve world domination. There are actual timelines where he HAS managed to achieve it. The only reason he's failed? Sonic literally has plot armour as the main guy of the franchise.

3) He figured out how to power robots with ANIMALS. That's one HELL of a breakthrough.

4) Game Eggman's lack of morals in particular really show how mad he's gone. Putting animals in robots and draining the life out of them is actually INSANE.

5) He is genuinely REALLY mad. And it's because of HIMSELF. Watching him descend from "slightly eccentric robot-making scientist who wants to dissect a blue hedgehog alien" to "madman who's developed an obsession with said alien, thinks he's capable of world domination & has wrecked his usual appearance" throughout the movies in particular really shows how far it goes. He's so confident that he will rule the world in the second movie that he doesn't give up and tries to get his robot to punch him, even when Super Sonic is clearly undefeatable. And after his defeat in the second movie, he goes into depression for months, only coming out of it because his ego is being bruised by an imposter using his badniks. And that's not all. During his boss battle in even the first game, his weakness being himself, his ego and his madness is made clear. You don't defeat him by attacking his machines in his boss battles. You have to hit HIM directly. He is his own weakness, and they've shown that before his character even gets a VOICE. And that is what drives him so mad.

6) The entire metal virus thing in the comics. THIS MAN MADE A VIRUS THAT TURNS THINGS INTO ROBOTS THAT OBEY HIM. THAT'S SOME CRAZY SCIENCE.

(PLEASE reblog as Eggman propaganda you've done him so dirty hhhhh)

PROPAGANDA

Ivo Robotnik:

Funny robot building man (also I dont actually know if he has a doctorate or not). Metal sonic is my goat so I coudnt not. (Not reslly propaganda but das ok)

Emmet Brown:

Y'all it's Doc Brown he's theeee mad scientist. Also he fucks unlike the rest of these losers.

HE STEALS URANIUM FOR HIS TIME MACHINE CAR. AND IT WORKS! AND HE CHANGES THE PAST! GOES TO THE PRESENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE AND GETS LOST. AND THEN HE MAKES A SECOND TIME MACHINE OUT OF A TRAIN ENGINE. he may not be the villain character in the movies, but he is properly mad.

I had to search up what his actual name was because everyone calls him Doc Brown, very mad scientist of him, no? Also figured out how to 1, time travel, and 2, do it in a baller car
