#but I dunno maybe it's just the fact that I have a very close relationship with my cousins that I want to see more cousin media

[blimbo-buddy]

I feel like narratives between cousins in fiction isn't nearly as talked about as, say, narratives between child and parent, siblings, or nephew and aunt/uncle. I want to see more stories about struggles between cousins, stories about cousins acting as each other's support, slice of life stories about cousins and their day to day lives. Literally anything I just want to see more cousin-related media

Just read your last Cloud X Reader and it was super sweet! I was wondering if you could write any headcanon about Cloud being a parent? And his relationship with reader as well Sorry if it’s clear

cloud as a dad hc’s 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

┊ ˚➶ notes ｡˚ 🎼

i hate tagging for ffvii 😞

┊ ˚➶ warnings ｡˚ 🎼

mentions of pregnancy (obviously), mentions of morning sickness and postpartum, and obviously babies, lmk if i missed anything love 💕!!

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

❥ as we all know, cloud is pretty serious or stoic most of the time. i mean, after everything that’s happened to him, you can’t really blame him. due to the harsh realities of living in the slums of midgar, he wouldn’t want kids unless you two were very stable and sure of your decision. he doesn’t want to bring a child in a world full of hate and despair, so he wants to make sure you both are ready for this!!

❥ when you do decide to get pregnant, cloud is with you every step of the way. he’s still doing jobs as way to make a living for the two of you, but when he comes home, he’s literally so sweet. i can just imagine cloud scolding you for tripping over something even though he’s literally holding you in his arms after he’s caught you lmao.

❥ he’s definitely not fazed by morning sickness or any sort of pain or gross feelings!! he will hold your hair for you when you puke and will massage you when your back hurts (even if he’s super awkward)!!

❥ yes, if you have weird or midnight cravings, cloud will get them for you. no questions asked, you could tap him on the shoulder and he levitates out of bed and just goes to get you your food. maybe a little grumbling at the fact that it’s super late— but once you remind him that you’re carrying his child, he’ll shut up real quick.

❥ i can totally see cloud having a girl and a boy, maybe not twins but at different times. i think he’d want them closer in age so they can protect each other and they’re at least somewhat close in grades? so maybe one baby and then another a year or two after? regardless of their age or their gender, cloud’ll love and cherish them no matter what they are.

❥ i can see cloud as a girl dad just because i’m thinking of those dads where they’re so intimidating and then all of a sudden you just see their tiny daughter in their arms putting bright pastel bows in their hair while they have the most serious face ever.

❥ with his daughter, he’s that, “no boyfriends until you’re 30” type guy. he will support her nonetheless but his daughters future boyfriends should know not to break her heart if they know who her dad is!! i can see cloud teaching his daughter self defense and sparring with her early in the mornings when she has too much energy. when she’s still little, i also think he’d entertain her like he did yuffie where he’ll pretend she beat him up and is just like “(っ｡‸◟ c)”

❥ with his son, he’d also teach him self defense!! there’s not much, if anything, mentioned about cloud’s dad so i think it’d be cloud without a father figure that he’s able to ask for help or depend on when he needs advice. he just doesn’t want his kids growing up like he did.

❥ i dunno about you guys, but i literally adore the little dynamic cloud and denzel have in ac— hence why i made that one fic where reader and cloud took care of him and marlene for the day. i just think it’s really neat how he really looks up to cloud, and i think cloud would appreciate it in his own.. awkward way? so i can just imagine you taking the babies to watch cloud while he trains or exercises or smth and they’re just in utter awe because— their dad is literally so cool??

❥ yes, they will ask for a sword afterwards. please resort to cardboard ones, we do not need any poked out baby eyes on the ground 😭

❥ cloud is the type of parent who’ll multitask around the house and insists that your rest, especially during postpartum. he’ll have a double baby carrier on him, a baby on his chest and other on his back while he’s mushing up their food and simultaneously on the phone with tifa.

❥ speaking of tifa!! she is literally an angel, she will gladly take them off your hands if you guys need it. the babies like to call her “auntie tifa” and she loves it lol. she’ll take them to meet marlene and denzel (depending on which arc we’re in) even though they’d probably be a bit older than your guys’ kids? but nonetheless they love them anyways!!

❥ imagine cloud doing pull-ups with both the babies on him in the carriers LMFAOOO

❥ yeah, these kids are getting spoiled. even if not by you, definitely by cloud. he can be stern but when they’re babies, he can’t help but give in. i can’t help but imagine cloud picking up the babies all awkward when they’re crying and he has like no idea what to do until you coax him into holding the baby properly as he keeps looking up at you for reassurance that he’s not doing anything wrong 😭.

go you girl ♥ ot5 + you!

aka.. y/n getting princess treatment from her members and having the best relationship with them

notes : hiiii! this is one of my favorite things to write i am absolutely in love with sixth member reader.. anyways this could be seen as romantic or platonic!! definitely written with best friends to lvrs in mind but that’s because that’s my fav trope.. gulp

warnings: fem reader, not proofread, lowkey tension in yeonjun nothing bad though, serious mutual pining in beomgyus, size difference with reader and hyuka.. (tell me if i missed any!)

yeonjun :

y’all definitely have sibling-type relationship..

BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY. on camera y’all act like you 100% hate eachother.

maybe the best fans are getting is a forced hug

maybe a shared slam on one of your other members..

but behind closed doors? you’re actually best friends.

laying in his arms as he plays with your hair as you watch a corny movie, painting his nails, helping him pick out outfits, maybe even doing his makeup is some of your favorite things to do together…

maybeee you have some tension after that one “challenge for acting!” on m2…? (PLEASE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.)

maybeeeeee he actually kissed you when you get back to the dorms!! we’ll never know! 🫣

onto princess treatment.. you definitely get it from this man.

remember the whole sibling thing? yeah.

”don’t you want something from the store?”

”yn, do you want me to buy you this?”

”i’ll get it for you. oh my god.”

rumor has it, if you complain about not having something long enough it’ll appear in your room along with your favorite snack~ yeonjun swears it’s the hybe santa..

soobin :

you guys are an UNSTOPPABLE DUO.

sometimes it feels like you’re the only two with sense in that group ….

you two have bonded over the fact that maybe you’re the only sensible ones in there!

he hasn’t told you.. but he definitely likes spending alone time with you.. so he lies and says you’re definitely better than everyone in the group (you’re not. you’re literally worse than huening kai..)

”no no no no yn!! you’re so responsible!” you spent 200 on albums for a group you fangirled for the other night.

he also loves giving you nicknames!! maybe it’s the leader in him, but he’s almost like your father figure?? (it literally doesn’t matter how old you are, he’s like your second dad.)

”silly, mini-me, *something based on your animal*” it is never ending!!!

you being the only girl doesn’t help how he practically acts like your dad…

”ynnnnnnnn.. when did you go to sleep last night..”

“um!!! 9:00!”

“then why did i hear the door close at 11:00? huh??”

“i was practicing….”

he gives you THAT look. you know the one your parents give you when they’re upset?

”im not mad. just disappointed.”

”okay daddddd..” new nickname am i right?

ANYWAYS

this man is the king of princess treatment.

opening your water for you.. you didn’t ask?

“i knew you would…” he says, handing your the bottle with a shrug.

beomgyu :

well well well if it isn’t my favorite man to write for mutual pining!

like.. you two have been best friends since you were trainees..

and you too were so obvious with the flirting…

BUT YOU WERE BOTH SO OBLIVIOUS TO EACHOTHER.

beomgyu would always hug you from behind at practice, pretending to be interested in what you were looking at..

he really just likes hugging you..

but i feel like your relationship would just be very touchy yk??

likeeee.. let’s say you’ve been going to the gym more, the second you wear even a shorter top..

he is poking those abs ‼️

”i dunno yn.. might be getting better than taehyun!”

OR HES ALSO LIKE YEONJUN. he loves having you in his arms, telling jokes and random gossip as his fingers ghost over the neck he’s “jokingly” marked when you were both drunk..

anyways

his favorite thing to say to you is “i’ll do it!”

”i got it!” “let me do it yn!!”

this man will never let you do anything yourself..

he’s grabbing things from a cabinet you could totally reach, buying you things you can most definitely afford, even doing your hair for you sometimes (which he’s surprisingly good at ??)

he’s also very very very protective

like he’ll get you a blanket if you’re wearing a skirt, or he’ll stand behind you on tour to make sure nobody is being a weirdoooo <3

(can y’all tell i gushed on his..)

taehyun :

you two are the embodiment of sunshine protector x sunshine!!!

in “ to-do “ you could literally be jumping around and giggling in one side of the frame and taehyun could just be like

:>

YALL ARE SO CUTE

it’s like a perfect combo , like one of you do too much one of y’all do little!!!

he loves hugging you.. and you love it too!!

the way his arms wrap around you tightly, the way he picks you up a little, and the way his fingers linger around the hem of your shirt before he pulls away..

his cute little thing he does is he always takes your recommendations..

like i 100% see him adding the song you recommended to his playlist or the drink you always drink sitting on the desk in his room

”what do you have there, tyunnie?” you ask as you peer into his room. “the snack you always make me get at the store.. wanted to see the hype!” he smiles sheepishly.

he loves buying you things too

but he’s less shameless about it :3

‘I was at the store and I saw that album you wanted, can I get it for you?’ he texts you while he’s out and about !!

he just loves getting you stuff it’s insaneee

he’s also like beomgyu in the way he will do everything for you

”nah nah nah let me get it.”

king of princess treatment tbh

huening kai :

YALL ARE LITERALLY BEST FRIENDS IDGAF

you two are always caught together

“have you seen huening kai?” “umm probably with yn but that’s just a guess!”

he loves sharing things with you too

like snacks or drinks, indirect kissing?? who cares (huening kai.. his cheeks are always pink when you take a sip from his can >_<)

he loves laying in your lap

(but this might be because i will forever head canon hyuka as a thigh/tummy man…)

he literally just loves laying on you

HES LIKE A DOG WHO DOESNT REALIZE HOW BIG HES GOTTEN SINCE HE WAS A PUPPY SO HES ALMOST CRUSHING YOU BECAUSE OF THE SIZE DIFFERENCE

but you don’t care 👍👍

extremely obsessed with matching items

you guys have matching plushies and keychains just to match a few!

he literally started to look for things that reminded him of you to buy you

like he bought you a plushie of your rep animal just because

HES ALSO DEFINITELY THE ONE YOU COME TO AFTER PERFORMANCES

“you literally did so well ynieeeee!”

gives excellent hugs too

i feel like he’d also be really helpful if you had a wardrobe malfunction (+funny..)

wide eyes as he lowkey messes up the choreo to help fix whatever was wrong with your outfit :>

fans say y’all are basically siblings too

im just saying i headcannon YOU TWO as the best duo 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

༘⋆🍊💿💭 ⋆˙

i hope you liked theseeee! if you want i would love to hear any feedbackkk! have a nice day ♥ ♥

FH Junior Year Post-Season Thoughts

With another season of Fantasy High in the books and my recaps all finished, I wanted to do an overview of my thoughts on the season as a whole. Even though I feel generally positive about my experience with the season, there are a few things I think maybe could have been done differently narratively or mechanically. This isn't to criticize the way the season went down or to backseat DM/Play. More my combined ten years of college for textual analysis and storytelling bleeding through, haha. 

I first want to start with the things I thought worked really well.

Fantasy High has "High" right in its title but, in past seasons (and especially Sophomore Year), not as much time as you'd think was spent actually at school and even if it was spent at school, there wasn't much time spent in class or engaging with the realities of being a student. This season really dug into the academic consequences of skipping your classes all the time and the realities of needing to do a ton of extra stuff to try for a scholarship and I think that was a refreshing thing to highlight for a change. Being more scared at flunking out than the dragon that's trying to eat you feels very emotionally resonant. Real "High School Is Killing Me" vibes for anyone who's a fan of NPMD. 

Even though Fantasy High is a show that has some deep emotional beats and strong character arcs, it's first and foremost a comedy show. From the jump, everyone was generating bit after bit that had me cracking up as usual. "Little girly dog collar" is one of the funniest combinations of words I can think of. I think it was Siobhan who said that this was the goofy season and, having seen it, I'd have to agree with her. It never failed to make me laugh and it was always a highlight of my week.  The cast just has great table chemistry that I love to watch no matter what they're doing. 

Watching some of these high level combat encounters is as close as I'll get to understanding people watching sports. Even though combat is generally my least fave part of D&D, I think the cast really killed it this season with how cleverly they played and Brennan came up with some really great combat encounters. Special shout outs to Baron's Game and The Last Stand for their unique mechanics.  

This is going to be one that's on the other list as well because my feelings are mixed, but I genuinely do like the downtime mechanic and how it forces hard choices. I think it's an interesting way to connect a mechanic to the story and cultivate stressful atmosphere for the season.

I have problems with the execution but I love the Rat Grinders in concept. I think as early as season 1 I was hoping that we'd meet a party that was like the Bizarro Bad Kids and the idea of a party that's farming XP instead of going on crazy adventures is a strong concept. Likewise, I think a character that's jealous because of your "cool" (read: tragic) backstory is also a fun trait for an unhinged antagonist in this kind of setting.

This is me absolutely showing my bias but I adored the Abernant Sisters content this season. I dunno if Siobhan specifically asked Brennan to not put her on a bus with the other beloved NPCs or what but I'm so glad she stuck around and we got the development we did. It was almost entirely ancillary to the plot but there was this clear pattern of Aelwyn getting softer and sweeter towards Adaine over the course of the season, from the guarded, "Enjoy the nemesis ward," to, full I love you's and, "I'd take them to get you." It was way more focus than I expected considering that Aelwyn completed the bulk of her arc last season and a lot of the time, a redemption arc basically ends after the big gesture (in this case, Aelwyn taking a magic blast for Adaine in Sophomore Year). So the fact that we got to see all of these sweet moments of them reestablishing their relationship outside of do or die moments was such a pleasant surprise. Again, I fully admit I am extremely biased, but this was my top wishlist item and the season overdelivered so there's a baseline happy I'm always gonna be with Junior Year. 

OK, so moving on to things I things I think could have been tweaked.

Even though I liked the downtime system and the pressures it created, it also squeezed out the chance for more casual PC to NPC interactions that would usually be more common because they were semi-locked behind the relationship track and there wasn't an obvious benefit to roll for Relationships (as opposed to something like Academics which was crucial for not flunking out). Making the mechanical benefit more clear would have helped that (even if it meant Brennan didn't get his reveal--which he ended up just telling them anyway so might as well do it early). The other thing is that the consequence of a rage token was so bad that of course they spent all season avoiding getting one. Things might have gone differently if the consequences had been a bit more obscured, like in Neverafter. And it could have been a nice parallel to the Rat Grinders to take this unknown resource that makes things easier for you but is also having this negative effect. Then it could be like dang we did the same thing they did unknowingly. 

I mentioned this in my recap but I'll talk about it again. It is a little confusing to me that we did the Ankarna subplot right after we did the very similar Cassandra subplot. It took up so much time this season which I don't think is an issue in and of itself, it's just that we literally just went through some extremely similar beats last season. Why double up on this same storyline when there's so much new ground to cover? Or if we're going to raise a god, why not make it a different kind of god? One theory I had early on was that the Rat Grinders were trying to raise their own god to one-up the Bad Kids but instead of raising a chill, misunderstood Cass type, they accidentally raised a god who was erased for a good reason and got in over their heads. 

It's fun for there to be connections between seasons but sometimes it's like, OK that's a *lot* of coincidences. Like the god who your rivals is trying to raise *happens* to be the wife of your cleric's god and also *happens* to be the god of the fiend trapped in your friend's mom's chest and that fiend *happens* to be the relative on your bard's dad's side which is *also* the reason she is randomly cursed? That's a LOT of red string connecting plot points. As unhinged as Kipperlilly is about coveting Riz's backstory if I saw that go down I'd be like you have *got* to be kidding me.  

The mystery elements didn't feel like they clicked as well as they did in other seasons. I think that's partially because Porter's plan was so convoluted (seriously, I made another post about how haphazard his plan was) and had all these moving parts and we didn't get clear answers for a lot of mechanical things like how the rage crystals actually work and when they were implanted and stuff. You had stuff like Devil's Honey which I think is super cool as a thing that exists in the world but ended up being an element that just led the players down the wrong path and had a relatively small payoff (that Porter was using it to lie to Ankarna). I think it's plausible that a forgotten god would be willing to listen to anyone saying the right things without introducing this element. (As opposed to, for instance, Ambrosia which has a very clear connection to what's going on and is a solid clue that someone is flirting with aspirations of godhood.) 

The Porter reveal came so late in the season that even though it was a fun/challenging fight, there wasn't a lot of emotional weight behind killing him. It was basically just dunking on a teacher Fig has always hated who was also mean to Gorgug so screw him. Which, valid of course. But the Bad Kids were never going to react as strongly to Porter as they were to the Rat Grinders so putting Porter in the prime villain spot isn't necessarily what I would have done if I wanted the fight to be more than just a brawl--especially since we've done "School admin with student minions" already in S1. I don't mind the full circle callback but it would have been nice to pick something else for the sake of variety. We haven't had a child mastermind yet and I think Kipperlilly could have been a great candidate for that. My friend suggested that it would have been fun if Kipperlilly was trying to become a god instead of just being Porter's underling and I agree. "I'm not anyone's chosen one so I'll choose myself," is still within her established jealousy and Type A tendencies. If we want to keep Porter involved since that was Brennan's gift to Emily, maybe have it be that instead of Kipperlilly working for him, he's working for her. Like Artemis Fowl vibes! And the Rat Grinders can be varying levels of on board--from true believe to redeemable. I don't think Brennan planned for the Bad Kids to ever redeem her so might as well go full megalomaniacal mastermind with her and make her The Villain if she's not gonna be nuanced anyway. If My Little Pony can do it and send a literal child to Tartarus for pony treason (or whatever Cozy Glow did), Fantasy High can too. 

Continuing from the above, if we have the Porter fight in place of the Grix fight (a la Daybreak) and don't use Ankarna, that gives way more time for the Bad Kids to investigate the Rat Grinders throughout the season and it would mean that they would have their personalities developed a lot more. With the limited downtime, they Bad Kids didn't have a lot of time to spend on these kids who were just hating on them for no good reason (valid). But if you cleared their plate of the god hunt stuff, they'd have more time for this. And if they weren't all rage zombies to varying degrees, it would be easier to see them as characters. Besides Kipperlilly (and, funnily enough, Mary Ann) we don't really have a good read on what these kids are actually like. The little time we spent with them all season was kind of a wash if them breaking out of rage means their personalities got laundered too. Anyway, regardless of how their loyalties ended up shaking out, it would have been fun for them to be more than the minions that they were in canon. As funny as it is for them to just kinda be XP farming losers, they did have the potential to be more interesting in their own right if they weren't just Porter's minions. And again, we've done adults forcing or coercing children into being minions in Freshman and Sophomore Year already. Lemme see some self-created child maniacs! (Or, peer pressured child maniacs. That's cool too. The Lucy/Kipperlilly dynamic is way more interesting to me if it's like girl, I would take a bullet for you but I CANNOT walk this path with you any further in response to *I* will be a god and you can be *MY* champion.)

Anyway, those are my thoughts! Like I said, I have my points that I think could have been tightened, but overall an enjoyable season and I will be glued to my screen if they decide to close out with Senior Year! 

[livelovecaliforniadreams]

I really think that this is where, this is like where the episode should have, this should be like scene three of the episode. Do you know, like, 'cause there's actual, there's something, there's something cool here about Cory being the pilot and forcing me to, into his version of Wooing and Angela. But, but like, instead, like I'm, I'm just not quite clear, like the conflict is like kind of class-based, like that we're too fancy of a restaurant, but we haven't established that like the things that we like are really like, like I, I just, I wanted it to be more about like if we knew that Angela liked a certain type of food and that Shawnn liked another type of food and then they were both trying to be something for the other. That's not quite established enough here. So I I I it it's a funny scene, but I'm just don't know why it's happening. Yeah. And then I, the resolution feels like, let's get burgers. I'm like, oh, okay. So the problem was that we were forced into eating fancy food. I I just, it's a little like mudelled for me. -Rider

No, I think it's exactly what you were saying before. The it's not a problem. It's that you realize that there are different kinds of love and cory and topanga are their own thing and everybody, it's like you want what they have, but you are not them. Nobody's them. -Will

We want our version of what they have. -Rider 

Your version is burgers and Vivaldi and hanging out at a different place. But, so it's like you, you can't be them because they're in, you know, even Topanga doesn't want this, the them at this point. So I think it's, if this is what happens when you let Cory in, the driver's seat is, well this is what love is. It's being married right away. -Will

That should have been the whole episode instead, instead of one scene. If that had been a story where we watched that play out in hijinks and funny scenes with cory whispering in my ear and, and maybe even Topanga whispering in Angela's ear. It could have been like a lot of miscommunication. And then the two of us finally being like, no, we're gonna do our own.... We keep alluding to the fact that we're not ready for this relationship. We're broken people, but we don't talk about what that means and we're not engaging with each other about that. We're just like, Vivaldi, I like it. You like it.  I don't know. It's underdeveloped. I feel like taking this scene as the model and expanding it in both directions would've been a better way to like confront this episode. -Rider 

Meanwhile, Angela asks, Sean, you said you knew me. If you really knew me, why would you bring me here? Sean admits, I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how to be myself around you. I really want you to like me. Angela assures him. I do like you. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. Sean asks, why it's so hard. Angela tells him she's never had a serious relationship either. Every time she got close to someone, she figured it was best to get away before they hurt each other. Is someone going to get hurt here? Sean? He earnestly tells her, no, not if we are ourselves. He calls out for Eduardo asking him to clear their table and just bring them a couple of burgers and -Danielle

See like all of that dialogue is exposition good? I think we're, I don't dunno what we're talking about. Like we're just saying. -Rider

They never established my character to say what I would like or not like. -Trina

And so, and we're not being specific. We're just hope and love and we and want and, and it's like, it's like song lyrics as opposed to like very like sharp. Like the thing you're doing right now, you can take you, I don't know, it just feels like, I dunno. It felt so like...Yeah. I just think the actual, like we, we have not covered details between our characters. So we have not said like Right. What we do imagine our lives would be like, 'cause we, we have the Vivaldi and Shakespeare, but we haven't seen the like, what do you like to wear? What do you like to eat? And, and then to see that in conflict with this.  So we're just expressing this makes me uncomfortable in abstract terms. And so it stays abstract. And that's what to me is the definition of like, acquisitional dialogue. -Rider

 I think it's more, I think it ends the same way where you guys are now figuring out what it's going to be. The same way you figured out this restaurant isn't for us. You figured out you didn't want to eat this food. It's like, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. We You don know it's you don't know yet. And it's, it's, this is just the start of we know we don't want that. We know we're not them and we don't, we don't want this restaurant, but we'll figure out whatever comes next. As long as we're ourselves, we'll figure it out, I think is what they're saying. -Will

It's a nice sentiment. -Rider

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! or embarrassing moments with jjk men

what's it? crack with a sprinkle of fluff

allergen warning/s? gn!reader, kind of spoilers for gojo's past arc in nanami's (not exactly canon, but you'll see teehee), smoke alarms (no actual fire though)

sugar level? 1.1k

names for the order? gojo satoru, geto suguru, fushiguro toji, nanami kento, sukuna ryomen

regulars? @tahonet​, @tokyometronetwork​

bon appetit!

GOJO SATORU:

"are you a piece of candy? cause you're a tootsie, and you're on a roll." you couldn't help the way your eyebrows quirked at gojo's statement and failed pick up line. "what does you're a tootsie even mean?" and to that, he simply shrugged. "dunno, but it's a cute nickname and it always works on cute little buttercups just like you." he leaned down to boop your nose that is now scrunched up as a result. "satoru," you sighed. "you know i love you dearly, but i doubt that has ever worked on anyone. you need better pick up lines." at your brutally honest words, gojo stomps his foot, reminiscent of a child and pouts. his arms are crossed across his chest and he looks like a perfect blend of intimidating and non-intimidating. he turns his head to the side and sticks up his nose. "my methods of flirting have worked with plenty of people. maybe you're just different and quirky." you spat out your drink "that's how you flirt?" because you know just how many people threw themselves at the feet of your boyfriend before you got together and this is how he got laid? you pinched the bridge of your nose and sighed for the nth time. "pretty privilege does crazy things. baby, you cannot flirt."

GETO SUGURU

"geto suguru, oh. my. god" the words that came from you were almost squealed. it was nearing midnight and geto has had a very long day; meeting with his fellow curse users who share his vision, tending to the pathetic, helpless monkeys who called for his aid in getting rid of equally weak curses, and of course, walking around kyoto, tending to mimiko and nanako's every need and want. in fact, he was so busy he didn't even hear neither the front door or bedroom door open and close. "sugu baby, you look so cute!" now that was most definitely a squeal. the man in question had a toothbrush in his foamy mouth, and his hair was held back by a soft brown headband with bear ears and various glittery butterfly hairclips. he went back to the bathroom to spit the toothpaste out and gargle before greeting you properly with a hug and a minty fresh kiss on the lips. "the girls got a hold of me." he chuckled lightly, pulling the cutesy headband away. "if you arrived any earlier, you would've seen me with makeup on." you shook his head at him, the worst curse user. "you would do anything for those girls, wouldn't you?"

NANAMI KENTO:

"kento, you never told me you had piercings." you murmured softly, running your thumb over the space below his bottom lip where there were two tiny holes on either side, assumingly from piercings. he caught your hand and kissed your warm palm, eyes closed. "did gojo tell you about those, angel?" at the mention of his troublesome former upperclassman's name, his nose scrunched up - after all, it seemed like ever since learning about your relationship, the snow haired sorcerer would not stop telling you stories from when they were students. nanami knew that gojo picking the embarrassing ones were not some sort of a coincidence either - making you laugh as you shook your head. "no, i just noticed the piercing holes on your lip. are there more?" you did not wait for his answer though. instead, your eyes were already looking all over his face. you spotted more on his nose and several ones on his ears. "you never told me you had a punk rock phase, kento." you told him, poking his cheek with a giggle making him grumble out something you could not decipher as his face heated up with something akin to embarrassment. "the opportunity never came up."

FUSHIGURO TOJI:

"heya baby boy!" you greeted toji with a quick kiss on the scar on the side of his lip before plopping down on the opposite side of the loveseat. you were certain there was nothing out of the ordinary, but your boyfriend's head immediately snapped towards your figure for a reason you did not know. "you okay, big guy?" you chuckled nervously, scratching the back of your head. his mouth was slightly agape and his face was flushed red. he swallowed thickly, adam's apple bobbing and cleared his throat, "what'd ya call me?" you blinked at his words, the gears in your head turning. "baby boy?" his cheeks got a shade of red darker. but this time, the nickname he was not used to no longer flustered him. "do i look like baby boy?" he snickered at you. "'n if i remember correctly, last night, 'y were callin' me a much different name." he trailed off, a smirk gracing his lips. you shook your head at him, crawling towards him on your hands and knees and cupping the side of his cheek, gazing into his eyes tenderly, hoping to caress any sort of weakness from him, break down his cockiness from last night's activities. "oh toji," stroking the skin of his cheek with your thumb, your lips were pouted and head tilted. "you're always gonna be my baby boy."

SUKUNA RYOMEN:

"ring! ring! ring! ring!" that was the sound that woke you up on your birthday. not your alarm clock, not the familiar weight of sukuna's arms on you, or his rough voice commanding you to get up and not sleep in. no, this one is unfamiliar, because it's the smoke alarm. you quickly pushed the duvet off of you, taking a mental note of the curse's absence from beside you, and rose up, running to the kitchen to see what has transpired within its four walls. there sukuna was, standing on his tippy toes to reach the fire alarm. he sighed in relief when he finally turned it off, but he still rolled his eyes. "stupid twenty first century gadgets.". he was sure he'd never get used to them. it was only when he turned around did he see you. his eyes were narrowed into slits before looking back up. "the unnecessary thing woke you up, didn't it?" he nearly growled out. you just hummed out a response. "it's not unnecessary, 'kuna. house fires from not paying attention to what you're cooking is a real danger." you murmured, walking to where he is by the stove and wrapping your arms around his waist. "for example, burnt," whatever this was on the pan. "pancakes." he mumbled out, answering your unasked question. "was supposed to surprise you for your birthday."

Alright the Gravity Falls brain rot is kicking in (aka I watched a 4hr video overanalyzing ATOTS <3 iykyk)

So have a loosely thought out concept of a hypothetical Welcome Home x Gravity Falls au with my "Hear me out!"s This is a long one, you've been warned <3

Wally - Dipper

Sally - Mabel

Julie - Stanley

Frank - Stanford

Eddie - Soos

Barnaby - Wendy

Poppy - Abuelita

Howdy - Gideon

Home - Bill???

Ok hear me out! (under the cut) Please ignore typos <3

Very quick clarification! For this au everyone is at least in their teens and I'm gonna add their ages as I elaborate. Ok? Ok!

Gonna Start with Poppy and Eddie. In this hypothetical au Poppy is Not Eddie's grandmother. Originally I thought of assigning Poppy the role of Lazy Susan but I wanted her to have a closer connection to the rest of the cast. And Abuelita fit the role well enough for me! She's just a sweet homebody who wants to knit and bake in peace. Eddie tells her all about work and Wally and Sally visit. <3

So Poppy and Eddie live together as Roommates/Family. Poppy took Eddie in as a teen (16ish) when she was in her early 20s (22-23?) He views her as a big sister. And she views him as a little brother. Anxiety siblings <3 (yes I hc Eddie has anxiety) Eddie started working for the shack soon after being taken under Poppy's wing. He's a tad forgetful and clumsy but is a very reliable handy man and a good friend! He's got a big heart and worries about Julie sometimes.

Currently, as in the time the au takes place, Eddie is 24 and Poppy is 30-31.

Julie and Frank would in fact make a Fantastic Mabel and Dipper. Tbh I think I've seen the comparison before. Which is exactly why I'm not doing it! They're not twins here but they are childhood friends and very close in age, Frank being slightly older. Currently, Julie is 57(?) and Frank is 58(?). (Ages aren't confirmed, all I know is I want them to be A Bit younger than the Stans. Currently this would put them in their late 20s at the time of the portal incident)

I feel like people sometimes forget that Frank is not against resorting to violence lol. Which is great for post portal Ford (and maybe Paranoia era Ford. bbg was not afraid to use that crossbow.) And Julie is a girl bossing business woman! She's scamming people selling breen to the tourists! Whatever that is! Tbh Big inspo for this decision is Relativity Falls, like I said these two make for great mystery twins.

So! Wally (15) as a teenage Dipper! It's just Wally but his curiosity is bumped to 100. Still the same lil guy but he's got a hyperfixation on the supernatural and cryptids. Maybe he hasn't quite figured out his style yet, maybe he's a bit more awkward, I dunno.

He kinda didn't want to spend his summer here but ends up enjoying himself as he makes friends and gets to over indulge his curiosity.

Sally (15) is Wally's adopted sister! By sheer coincidence they have the same birthday but Sally always points out that she's older because she was "born at sunrise!" She's very adventurous and is often the one leading their escapades. I imagine she meets this aus equivalent of Candy and Grenda at the local theater. Very much wants to be her own person, separating herself from the Adopted Twins thing. Not in a bad way! She loves Wally very much but wants people to see her as Sally! Not just "Wally's Sister."

Barnaby (22) is very laid back and so is Wendy. Yeah I don't actually have a lot to say? Um. He does the bare minimum work but is a good friend to Julie. He's real observant and can tell she's not always as bubbly as she seems But she's also his boss so he doesn't pry. Instead just offering a distraction or a rare bit of advice..

Oh! There's a parallel with him and Wally and Wendy and Dipper. Except Wally just wants to be friends with Barnaby but doesn't quite know how to communicate that. Maybe he just kinda follows him around the shack hoping to figure out what to say?

Thinking their relationship is literally the recent quote from Clown's Q&A: "Barnaby meeting Wally felt like business as usual, and Wally meeting Barnaby felt like meeting the whole world." yeah that's it. Sums it up Perfectly <3 Wally thinks Barnaby is really cool and friendly. And he wants a friend who treats him like he's mature. Like he's 15, not 5. And Barnaby does that right out the gate. Calls him kid but obviously doesn't treat him like a small child.

Ahem. Capitalism. Howdy's (21) a filthy capitalist and wants the shack for Profit. I don't think he'd resort to literal breaking and entering to get the deed? Can't make Profit from jail if he gets caught. But he's definitely trying to buy the property off of Julie. Maybe we stray further from Gravity Falls canon and say he gets an early redemption bc I'm a sucker for this goof. It would be sometime after taking the shack (and losing it.) Oh but he does summon the Evil. Can't break the law if the law doesn't account for Interdimensional Demons!

On that note, Yes Howdy could be Stanley. But again. That's the easy way out! Also in my brain that would make,, idk Barnaby? Ford. And I couldn't do that.

Ok final (wh) character. Home. So I'm on the side of Home Isn't Evil/The Antagonist. He's just a guy (house)! A sassy fella! But someone's gotta be the Eldritch Horror and Unfortunately, Home,,, well he's a lil quirky!

But idk How to incorporate Home. They speak in onomatopoeias! They're a house! Is Home now a Vague 2D House Shaped Demon? Do the have Limbs? Wear a top hat? Do they talk now? Home speaking words feels cursed. But I genuinely don't what else to do? Maybe we suspend our disbelief and they still talk through banging shutters. Everyone just understands them bc Cartoon logic pffff maybe they have subtitles projected into your brain that only you can see idk lol.

So obviously there's Way more GF characters than there are WH characters. insert characters [(y/n)] aren't my thing for aus so that's a no go for me personally. I imagine the town is filled with characters we've heard of outside the neighbors (Ma Beagle of course lives in town.) Maybe some of Howdy's family is here who knows. And the rest would be randos or ocs I guess! Tho I don't believe Julie's siblings are in town.

Anywho this is all hypothetical and I made it up and retyped things as I went along. I wanted to ramble some nonsense so I did! If you read it, Awesome! You sure did that!

im reading the hobbit right now, just finished chapter 8 in fact, and one thing i like is that while bilbo does use the ring in his trademarked “heroic and awesome bilbo moment in mirkwood”, it still feels like its mostly him thats doing all that wicked cool shit. the ring doesn’t feel like a crutch that he leans on and cant do anything without; it feels like a useful little tool that bilbo cleverly uses to his advantage.

the ring made him invisible, sure, and plenty of the stunts he pulls would be made all the harder, maybe impossible, without that boon. but the ring didnt make him able to scheme the dwarves out of the spiders’ hold, it didnt make him sing his little ‘attercop’ song, it didnt make him so good at throwing, and it didnt make him kill all those spiders. that was bilbo.

and even earlier in the chapter, in his little turning point after killing the first spider, the ring wasn’t even involved.

it was all bilbo. was he using the ring? yes, he was. would half of the stuff he does probably not work as well, if at all, if he didnt have the ring? oh, probably - maybe even certainly. but, then again, he wouldnt have been able to snipe those spiders if there were no stones, and he wouldnt have been able to stab and slash at them if he hadnt had sting.

the ring is a tool - and maybe this pure conjecture from a guy yet to finish either lotr or the hobbit, but i cant help but think that this very succinctly symbolizes the relationship bilbo has with the ring, at least during the hobbit. to him, its just a benign, very helpful little trinket thats done him a lot of good. he has no idea of the ring’s malevolence, no reason to look too closely at it, and so he only sees it as the tool that it is to him. a tool that he has a right to be so fond of and maybe a little possessive of... doesn’t he?

...i dunno man, i just really like these bagginses and their fucked up ring.

Saw your post about Rolin and the possible disconnect between him and fandom. I think you might be right in some major ways - Rolin saying there will be “season and seasons”and that every interaction between them is DM might not mean what the fandom thinks.

I am interested in seeing an adaptation of the relationship, but I have to say that the latter half and ending of season two frustrated me. Basically because of how impersonal most of Daniel’s and Armand’s interactions were. I don’t mean that as opposed to romantic mind you (didn’t expect anything like that). I just wanted them to have any kind of personal dynamic and/or interaction at some point? The aftermath of s02e05 was really minimal in terms of of psychological fallout between them - sure Daniel’s angry and there’s the martini comment exchange, but otherwise it was all about Armand trying to save the situation with Louis (trying to spin everything relentlessly as AZ said). I just felt that it all was just in service to the bigger plot, at the cost of psychological realism (and character). Of course Daniel’s options were limited as he can’t really do anything to Armand - but expose the truth, but the relative “causal-ness” of s02e06 felt a bit… unrealistic (and convenient). If we’d seen Armand later turning Daniel in a rage as a consequence - him losing it as he lost Louis - him being angry at Daniel, that would have been something! A kind of showcase of an underlying tension - but Rolin skipping it kinda has made me think he just used the DM dynamic as a plot tool to reveal Armand’s lies. Him saying that the mere fact Armand turned him is something is really disappointing. I wouldn’t mind waiting to see it (since I agree IWTV is Louis’ story) but he’s said it’s not happening so… Plot and character moments can be married together in excellent ways, but I just really didn’t feel that was the case here.

I think to call something DM it has to be about Daniel and Armand, it has to be in some way personal. Armand panicking because his lies are being revealed isn’t it, and Daniel’s turning would have been it - but it was literally skipped so there has not really been any DM on screen. Maybe Armand “apologizing” without meaning a word could count, but I dunno. I would say the closest so far is Daniel’s annoyance (and vice versa) of Armand in s02e01 and s02e03. There’s been no real scene or dialogue actually showing these characters being curious or intrigued about on another - even in s02e05 Armand’s questioning of young Daniel is all anger and jealousy over Louis. He’s very quick to kill Daniel and very quick to being okay with letting him live, pretty nonchalant. Sure there is a few moments of them looking at each other which might indicate curiosity but those moments are so small and don’t have any context so I don’t think they even really count as crumbs (since they could mean anything or nothing). Like I was personally really into having them hate each other/be nemeses (plz give me point for proper plural form ;) ) but there was honestly so little. Like I’ve seen people reacting to this show being confused about why Daniel is relatively unfazed after s02e05 and/or asking if Louis and Daniel even told Armand that they remember. Yes, there’s scenes (sushi bar) which reveals more so people looking closely should be able to tell but it does say something about their minimal change of dynamic. If Rolin does dig into this dynamic next season and makes it personal - he has said they will at least have scenes - I’ll be happy, I just can’t help but worry a bit and I feel it’s too generous if fandom takes his words to mean we’ve already seen DM. Am I making any sense? I’m more than happy to be told I’m wrong or worry too much. Thanks for hearing me out! I enjoy reading your takes, as I feel you are quite sensible and avoid filling the gaps by projecting which I feel some other fans (and probably myself) at times do

Thank you for the long ask!

I was actually going back and forth for a while, since fandom can be pretty convincing, but looking back on my first impression when watching season 1 I was pissed they seemed to have cut the dm storyline by aging Daniel up (not that the age itself is a factor, more the 'lost time') and placing the show in recent times.

I think people might be a bit too positive for different reasons:

1) The ship is book canon, it already exists

2) The actors are ship positive

3) Assad does a lot of interesting micro expressions

4) Rolin does talk about it

Now for why that might not be enough:

1) Yes, it's canon, but a small part compared to a large book series

2) I think they are generally fan positive and think that dynamic is fun

3) Assad is clearly invested in that dynamic, he might have added something acting-wise from his own perspective

4) This is the main part, I think Rolin does have a 'red thread' for his show that's as close to the books as a 'modern' adaption allows. He will follow that thread but stray a bit to put in some extras for the fans.

The first two seasons were clearly about Louis, like the first book. Louis relationship to Lestat, to Armand, to Claudia.

With Daniel as a catalyst or plot device, like you said.

Third season will focus on Lestat.

Armand and Daniel will of course still be there, but not the main focus.

And I feel like Rolin treated dm more like an easter egg. Like Niki. Niki gets a tiny bit of screen time and the cut off hands are mentioned by Louis (unrelated to Niki) and part of the stage play graphics. Easter eggs for the fans.

If Rolin does the Lestat story with flashbacks (which he will, how else would you introduce Gabrielle f.e.) Niki might or might not get revisited.

Devil's minion got the easter egg treatment in the San Francisco bottle episode. There was past interaction, and an intense one, just not erotic or romantic.

Plus a blender mention. And from Rolin's perspective that might be enough.

Like, if he planned on filming as much of the books as possible, dm is not that prominent in the grant scheme of things.

It is prominent to fans of course, (like other characters that haven't even appeared yet are fan faves)

I personally was so taken in by that one chapter back in the day it easily became my favourite ship (and Armand my fave character).

But I think if we where to do statistics the majority of Vampire Chronicle fans are in it for Lestat (and Loustat as background otp, plus other Lestat relationships) or started out as Louis fans or simply fans of vampire horror drama.

And Rolin is trying to give those fans exactly what they want and now gets constantly asked about something that wasn't even exactly on his radar. That must be quite annoying.

And he does sound annoyed altho he's still answering playfully.

And I do agree with you about Daniel's and Armand's interactions. If we leave out Assad's possible extra acting choices there is mostly a competetive dynamic between them, where Armand is somewhat fond of Daniel from his own superior position, but also a bit condescending. And Daniel just wants to one up him.

Also yes, the missing fall out from 2x5. 'You tried to drain me, pal' especially the 'pal' that's such an understatement in regards to the whole situation. 6 days of physical and psychological torture and Armand just going 'well you also did drugs, same thing basically'.

So yes, while I do love to clown and enjoy all the dm posts and the cast being so positive about it, I don't think much was planned.

It might change due to popularity, depending on wether Rolin isn't too annoyed and how it fits the script.

They could also still do a reverse chase in the background without a 'romantic' plot simply with Armand going completely off the rails and Daniel still wanting to confront him about his turning.

I do hope for the classic enemies to whatever they have trope of course, but it doesn't have to happen. If every interaction between them is dm-coded already to Rolin he might simply go with a tense fledgling/maker thing.

Well, I cross my fingers, but if I'm staying realistic I don't get disappointed too much. ;)

And I gotta say, Rockstar Lestat looks fun af.

So that's at least something to look forward to.

And we'll always have Daniel being Armand's only fledgling! (Plus a ton of fan works, and that's always a comfort. But hey, maybe we do get a positive surprise.)

Gaon one-shot

"I may or may not have lost my ring"

Paring::dom!Jiseok x sub!fem!reader

Warnings::smut

Word count::1,034

Genre::established relationship, smut, fingering, soft

~Not proof read~

A/N:: I cannot believe how many notes I got on my emo boy beomgyu fanfic!!!! And it such short time?!?!?! Tysm 😭

Song to listen to while reading::

 Jiseok's fingers went in and out of you faster than you ever imagined. He kept repeatedly hitting your G-spot making you moan continuesly. As his fingers reached deeper and deeper into you, you felt your body getting tense and warm. 

"Jiseok, I think I'm gonna cum," you barely moaned out as he curled his fingers in the most star seeing way possible. 

"I want to see how good I make you feel baby," he smirked as he whispered in your ear, his hot breath present in your ear. Lord and behold you came with a moan. Jiseok praised you more than you thought he could as his fingers basically just stayed in their place inside you. Once you calmed down jiseok took his hands off of you and went to snuggle you in your bed. As he was pulling up the blankets his eyes widened as he looked at his hand. Meanwhile you had your eyes closed and were focused on sleeping. Gaon frantically looked through the bed making you open your eyes "Jiseok what are you doing?" You grumbled.

"Well…I may or may not have lost my ring," He said as his cheeks started turning red. 

"When did you last have it?" You said sitting up.

"Before you came for the third time…" he said, biting his lip nervously. Your jaw dropped. 

"Do you think it…?" You said resting your arms around your stomach as Gaon nodded his head. 

"Maybe?" Jiseok said before biting his lip nervously again. You started panicking. "Will it come out if you go to the washroom?" He said with a little bit of hope in his eyes.

"No, that's not how it works," you laughed.

"I didn't think so," he sighed "well then there's only one way to get it back," he said, getting on top of you again. 

"What do you mean!?" You said closing your legs tightly. 

"I don't want a metal ring stuck in your body for the rest of your life!" He exclaimed.

"I can get it out myself!" You said tucking up your legs. Gaon's face seemed shocked and red. You blushed and looked away from him.

"I just think I have a better angle…"

"What!?!" 

"I'm just saying!!"

The two of you bickered before deciding Gaon was right. You hung your head low in embarrassment. You watched as he inserted two fingers back into you. You bit your lip harshly as his fingers searched around your insides. You tried not to moan as much as possible, it was embarrassing! All he was trying to do was get his ring back, but instead he was over stimulating you. You felt yourself already starting to cum again, the way he curled his fingers in an attempt to feel the ring made you see stars.

"I have an idea…" Gaon said as he pulled out his fingers depriving you of your release. You tried to cover up the fact that this whole situation feels amazing to you. 

"Yes?" You said as he started sitting up again. 

"Why don't we use a metal tracker?" Jiseok grinned and you smacked his arm.

"Not funny Jiseok!" You said while laughing. 

"But seriously, if I dunno you cum again, it might be easier to find it," he said waiting for your approval of his plan. He wasn't wrong. It would probably help, it's just a matter of how much you have left in you. You nodded.

"That's true…" you said, putting a finger to your chin "what are you waiting for?" You smiled at him and he nervously went back to searching. Jiseok's facial expressions changed very quickly as he explored you. How is this so difficult? I mean there's only so much space that it could've gone…Unless it was already out of you?

In the middle of your thought Gaon harshly pressed against your core making you release a loud moan before biting your lip again. Your eyes squinted shut as he repeatedly hit the same spot. With no luck of the ring he decided to go deeper. Your legs jerked, causing you to almost close them entirely before Gaon put his hand up to your thigh stopping you. 

On impulse Jiseok started licking the inside of your thigh. The sensation of his warm tongue on your skin and his fingers so deep inside you they could reach your stomach. You grabbed his hair and tugged on it harshly. You muttered something under your breath that couldn't be heard by Gaon. He kept on reaching deeper inside you, you didn't even think it was physically possible to reach that far. You came all over him, soaking the sheets. Saying you came would be an understatement in this case. 

Gaon looked up at you in shock as buried your face in the pillows. 

"Was that supposed to happen…?" He said as he crawled up to you. You nodded with your face still in the pillow. Gaon seemed slightly worried that he did something wrong so you assured him.

"I squirted…it means you essentially did extra good," 

His face lit up at your words. 

"What was that? Can you repeat that last part?" He said with a smirk as he leaned closer to you. You smacked him as you both laughed. 

"Oh did you find your ring?" You said sitting up. He shook his head and you sighed. "I'm sure it's fine…well go to the doctor tomorrow," you shrugged. Gaon nodded as his head rested on the other pillow with his eyes shut. He seemed tired. You tucked his hair back behind his ear and kissed him on the head. "I need to run to the washroom. I'll be right back," you said, getting up and putting some shorts on.

"Okay," Gaon mumbled. As you started walking to the doorway you stepped on something cold and circular. You looked down and saw Jiseok's ring. You picked it up and examined it. 

"Jiseok!" You shouted making Gaon sit up and look at you.

"What!?" He said with panic written all over his face. You harshly pointed at the ring you were holding up for him to look at, with a stern face. He chuckled nervously with a shrug as you sighed.

I just sent a completely different ask, so I hope I'm not spamming you, but I just had another thought about your works, I could totally see Queen Nia being forced to have a sham marriage with another kingdom's ruler for the sake of alliance, if threatened with a devestating war otherwise for example, and I could also see that ruler forcing her to carry a heir, and that being the reason why she despises her own child, being forced to carry a child for a relationship she never wanted, all the while having a secret (or possibly open secret) love affair with her "faithful lifetime servant". This would also totally open the door for a polyamorous relationship with the darling, but that's a whole nother' can of worms. None of this is a request by the way, just thoughts I had about your work that I figured you may enjoy, feel free to tell me to keep it to myself.

Hello! :3 This is actually very very fire wait let me cook. (so sorry this took so long dunno whats up with me lately) This got so long I love it :3 also! i love love getting unique asks like these! Super appreciate any and every ask I receive :3 don't be shy <3

Masterlist.

Queen Nia x GN!Reader.

Queen Nia is known as a delinquent by the Board of Chiefs and staff who are close to her. She likes to bend the rules, she doesn't listen to anyone's orders, and she hates being told otherwise. And what can anyone say? Nia's the queen, and she's been the queen since age 16, she's old enough to realize that what she says, goes. Nia is as stubborn as a mule, and she lets anyone who defies her know that fact well.

But what happens when the stubborn mule is forced to be faced with the truth? When the threat of war looms over her head and the only way she can ease it is by marrying some heir? Well she'd go nuts! Nia is reckless sure, but first of all, she's a queen, and she wants to be known as the best Queen of Xelera ever. Maybe that's why she hires assistants to do work for her and then she would take all the credit. So, Nia steps up, and agrees to the proposal. Marry the king of a faraway land's kid, the heir of their kingdom, let's name it Misal for convenience's sake, all in the hopes of avoiding war. She is smart enough to make it clear and concise. Nia doesn't love them, she never will, and she will openly cheat on this heir with her real spouse, that is you. Nia doesn't bother to get to know her new royal spouse, takes you up as the Queen's most treasured servant, and goes on with her average life. She barely tolerates it when she has to speak with her so-called ''spouse" about whatever responsibilities they expect her to accomplish. Like just send the document over to her assistant! Is it so hard to let Nia live at peace as she hand feeds you exotic fruits.

Over the years of a resentful, heated marriage the two royals are forced to have at least two kids to continue the Royal Bloodwen bloodline. The other kid is for the heir's ridiculous, tainted, nasty bloodline. Nia's hatred for children almost triples when its the kids from her war-preventing marriage. Nia would shower you in gold while her kids can barely speak to her.

Nia is openly and clearly unfaithful, something she's established from the start. Even inviting you to her wedding and spending most of her time with you during said wedding. If Nia's royal spouse dares to anger her in some way she'd banish them off to whatever summer house her father had before his passing. If the king, her spouse's father, dares to impose war on her due to her treatment of his child she will threaten him back saying she'd gladly end his pathetic heir's life and broadcast it for all to see and send out her soldiers pillage his kingdom. Nia becomes smart about this situation. She'd plant spies in Misal. She would tell the Chief of Military to increase training, to spread military propaganda, to spend more money on equipment. All of this is to make sure that Xelera becomes the strongest Military entity in the world. No one can threaten her any longer, she'd keep the little heir under lock and key. Only to use this unintelligent heir as bargaining bait against Misal's king. "Give us more of this or your heir dies." And if Misal tries to call their bluff, a day later a video of said heir, knocked out, a knife barely grazing against their neck, if they woke up it would mean immediate impalement and immediate death.

Safe to say, Nia would be cute to her amazing darling, while an absolute cunt to everyone else around her.

man im glad kabru put his sword down n acknowledged hes no good w monsters. He hurt himself so much trying to be a person hes not… dying over n over again… becoming so good at killing people in the service of that goal n it gets him no closer to it… and i dont think dungeon life is actually what he wants either… he had such a miserable time but i feel the people he met…was the journey. Maybe. I think theres something moving about him venturing out n meeting ppl from all walks of life.

And a life of many more…and i may be about to do a horrific misreading but i always thought part of the reason kabru got namari n toshiro to go w him instead of his own party was trying to keep em outta harms way esp rin. But in turn he cut himself off of his closest connections while interacting w ppl who bring up really bitter memories for him. Man kabru n rins relationship… they dont love each other in the same way but u can tell theyre always thinking of each other. Like interacting w the canaries is hard for him. But also on another level he may have taken them bc they do in fact live up to his idealized version of ppl who can effortlessly slay monsters n its something he knows he lacks. But idk if being good at slayin monsters particularly helped in the end of that situation tho it was good to have a few ppl good at it on retainer. Kinda bummed they cut out of a lot of kabrus interactions w namari and shuro bc i do find them interesting in the short moments they interact. Thats the b team (w mithrun acting as the antag of it so he flits in and out)

Like kabru has a moment of vulnerability in telling his own story to them honestly. It was hard for him. And if they cut out namaris genuine moment of unconditional kindness when she reaches out for kabru while everyones trampling over each other and hes having a ptsd moment ill be at their doors. I think it was a pretty vital moment in reminding him why he feels so strongly abt autonomy. I feel kabru very rarely gets acknowledged for his kindness often no string attached. N ppl are much quicker to note hes manipulative n a charmer but i think some of these moments he just likes listening to ppl some of whom have never been listened to in their lives…. Its sad how much kabrus willing to accommodate others n give em grace n yet he wont give it to himself : ( But also that those two were genuinely moved by his moment of vulnerability and even tho theyre mainly there for their frat bro allegiance towards laios where theyre like idc if he did that #freemyman, i do think what pushed them over the threshold is thinking about what he said about the elves trampling everyone and how they trampled over this delicate infrastructure ppl built for their livelihood . I like to think their lil turn everyone against the canaries was them pouring one out for him. Carry his dream on a little bit longer bc they dunno if he survived. I found it like aw. That all his like kabrus been trying to carry a mountain on his back, trying so hard to be a manipulative charming person to that end, but he can move ppl just as he is. By being open n vulnerable .

the last survivor of utaya… but is just surviving enough? Think its good he makes a new home in melani so that he can move onto the next part of his life while keeping every place hes ever been close. A dungeon that wiped out all life. A dungeon that created a new one

[hysteric-for-sterek]

Alright I’m officially putting my hopes and desires out into the universe before season 8 of 9-1-1 drops.

Here’s my Buddie wishlist:

1. Gerard will strut in and throw some homophobic nonsense at Buck, who’ll go to Tommy for backup. Tommy, however, will shrug and tell him to keep his head down and go with it. Not satisfied, Buck will go to Hen and Chim for advice, only to find out Tommy was basically Gerard’s sidekick during their ‘Welcome to Hell’ phase. While Buck’s still digesting that betrayal, Eddie—bestest friend that he is—will not even hesitate to clock Gerard square in the nose as soon as he catches him giving Buck shit. And that, right there, will be the moment Buck realizes it’s time to kick Tommy to the curb. Thank you for your service in helping Buck step out of the closet Tommy, but your work here is done. Eddie can take it from here.

2. This absurd bee-nado will leave Buck and Eddie stuck together in the tiniest, most ridiculous closet-sized space imaginable, forced to stay put until the bees move on. Cue awkward shoulder-to-shoulder shuffling, lots of ‘accidental’ touching, and intense, soul-searching eye contact. Buck will try to lighten the mood with bee puns and facts the entire time, but they will inevitably delve into deep and meaningful conversation before they’re finally able to escape the un-bee-lievable amount of sexual tension buzzing around in one very small room. 🐝

3. Eddie, finally getting a taste of freedom that he’s never really had before, without Chris around, gets a bit… messy. He’s having fun, he’s drinking too much, sleeping too little, and racking up more one-night stands than a sailor on shore leave. One night, while he’s fairly tipsy, a guy hits on him, and Eddie, with the kind of confidence that only comes from tequila, thinks, ‘Why not?’ He gets close to actually hooking up with a dude before panic sets in, and he ends up frantically calling Buck to pick him up. Buck expresses his concern for his behaviour lately and Eddie’s freak out leads him to the hot priest the next day, who helps him work through his catholic guilt and sets him back on a healthier path forward.

4. There’s a near-kiss. There absolutely HAS to be a near-kiss. The kind where they’re both leaning in, eyes locked, and the universe seems to hold its breath… until, of course, the universe decides to interrupt with something frustratingly annoying —like a phone ringing, or the bell sounding, or… i dunno, a fucking bee! They jerk apart, Buck immediately spirals into panicked guilt mode, convinced he’s just doomed the most important friendship he’s ever had. Meanwhile, Eddie’s freaking out for a completely different reason—because he WANTED it. Now they’re both stumbling over themselves, tripping over awkward apologies, and trying to pretend that almost-kissing your best friend is totally normal behaviour.

5. The sexual tension finally boils over in the most intense way possible—a SEXY AF, MIND-BLOWINGLY PASSIONATE kiss up against Eddie’s kitchen counter. One minute they’re standing too close, talking too fast, arguing maybe, and the next they’re crashing into each other like it’s the answer to every question they’ve never dared ask. I will accept nothing less than hands on necks and fingers in hair and using hips for closer leverage and DESPERATE, NEEDY MOANING.

6. They try keep their new relationship a secret for a while. It’s new and fragile and in the very steamy, can’t-keep-their-hands-off-each-other, honeymoon phase and they’re trying desperately to stay in their bubble for a while longer. Which leads to a lot of stolen kisses and glances and smirks and quick-thinking to cover up suspicious moments that the team almost catch them out in - What do you mean reorganising the station storage closet together at 2am is weird?

7. Chris comes home right when Eddie decides it’s time to tell him. At first, Chris is apprehensive, because let’s face it—his dad’s track record with relationships isn’t exactly winning any awards. And losing Buck? Absolutely not on the table. But they hash it out (Chris asking the hard questions that make them squirm, but ultimately bring them closer together) all three of them vowing they’re in it for the long haul.

So. Universe. This is me manifesting. Make it happen. kpleasethanksbye

Breakeven.

Prt 1.

Bang Chan X Plus Size Reader. Fluff mild angst. Slow burn?

The news broke that V from BTS's stalker was apprehended. The fact that someone got so close sent shock waves through the major companies to up security. Guards for even the groups that didn't have a major following, it felt incredibly necessary. Keeping the artists behind closed doors like hamsters in wheels and a very colorful and elaborate cage. The studio Stray Kids though did the majority of their work for their latest mixtape was across the street from a cafe. The road was mainly foot traffic and standing there on the concrete pavement was a woman with a guitar.

A foreigner. As divisive as that word is in South Korea, that's what she was...singing in English songs from a while back. Breakeven by The Script, Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. This heartache verbalized in the cry of the street. She bowed quietly with the smallest smile if people tipped her, that's at least what Chan noticed from his tower. Yes, the great tower of the unmarked building in the middle of the city. No one knew he was there, nor what the building was. Everyone below him just too busy with their own day to notice. He was grateful for that, but he found himself wanting to be amongst the people. Be there, go grocery shopping, go to a cafe. Exist in the cosmos of the cosmopolitin. So, looking out of the window of the studio he watched this woman. Living vicariously through her. He could hear her if he tried really hard with the window open, but most of the time it was when he snuck into the building he could hear.

Felix was setting down his things in a chair before seeing his friend deep in thought, not moving a muscle, just looking out the window. Walking beside him the blonde followed his eyeline to the girl.

"You know you can go say hi-"

Chan jumped not noticing the new presence slamming his hand over his heart. "Ah!-oh, hi...I dunno what you're talking about..." Brushing the comment off. Felix just raised a brow.

"You stand here and what...stare at her? Man, that's creepy- you wear a mask and a hat and go over. Say Hello"

Chan just shrugged. That was the thing with Bang Chan. With his life experience, the thing he never wanted was to be hurt like he was in the past. To suffer again the things he did getting here. There of course are other things, but when you are in this life it's far easier to make up stories about the driver, the barista, or grocery delivery person? Then to actually...know them. For then they could leave and you would be left alone. Parasocial relationships go both ways remember? So Chan for the first time in a while has had the time to look at the same girl and imagine. Imagine her life, why was she in Korea? Why did she always sing sad songs? Maybe she was a student and this is how she made extra money, or was stranded here and needed to find funds for a plane back home. Or just she liked singing.

So many questions and thoughts and contemplations on the idea of a person, a person he didn't know. While he and Felix went actually into the studio to work he couldn't get her off his mind.

~~

Y/n though was very busy at work. It was hard to get people to notice you when you're in a larger body. At least notice you for the right reasons, notice the voice, the talent (as if). Southeast Asia had the beauty standard of a pin and people paid millions of dollars to fit it. The clothes, the almost infantilization of women? 'Cutesy' shit that made her skin crawl, she could dress like an idol, speak the language fluently, get her hair done at those fancy salons that give you tea; wouldn't be enough. So Y/n decided not to participate. She would sing, play guitar, and let that be the reason she was content. Be understood and heard through music. A couple months out of the year she visited a cousin who lived in Busan for work. Taking a week or so to visit Seoul it was her mission to live. Experience everything she could. That included what she normally did back home, just...here. Where Y/n would sing in front of a Starbucks or a dunkin, or dutch bros really whatever mall adjacent location would allow her to get a set in. Finding a cafe who agreed to let her perform on their property she set up. She just knew this wasn't a hot spot for tourism so felt comfortable in her ignorance if someone made comments she wouldn't super be able to understand them.

So she sang. Song after song not noticing at all the peering eyes from the man a floor above her.

Where Chris was watching. Dreaming of what she sounded like when she laughed, if she had a boyfriend or if he really should say hi to her...fate would have to decide as the rest of 3racha filed into the studio.

And so.....fate did decide.

Hi! Good morning/night. I have a request for Dalton if you still take them…? The idea is that he and the fem reader have a secret relationship and no one knows, and one day Chris and Y/N’s roommate, Annie walk in on them making out? It’s ok if you can’t just a suggestion. Cheers!

A/N: OMG obsessed with the fact that Annie was a part of this, thank you so so much for your request!! Also I did NOT expect this one to be over 4k words, I don’t know what happened I’m so sorry 😭 hopefully it's not unreadable but pls let me know what you think!

Word Count: 4.5k+

Warnings: language, mentions of blood, heavy make out, characters texting, fluff

MASTELIST ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎✩ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎SEND ME A REQUEST

Behind Closed Doors

Y/N could tell Dalton was nervous, his foot was constantly tapping on the floor while he waited for the list to be published. Professor Armagan was hosting an art show and she was going to select only a few students to bring their best pieces to show off their talent, and the students that made the cut were supposed to be announced by 3 PM, it was now 3:30 PM and he had been refreshing the school page for the last 30 minutes.

“Dalton, you need to relax” Y/N came up behind him and started rubbing his shoulders, feeling all the tension melt away “Just take a deep breath with me” She started the breathing exercise that helped her feel better when she was feeling anxious or stressed, hoping Dalton would mimic her, but instead a loud puff of air came out of his mouth as he kept refreshing.

“She said she would publish the list-”

“By 3:00” Y/N interrupted him “I know, baby. Just give her a little bit of time, maybe she forgot” She said, going around his chair and sitting on his lap.

“She didn’t forget, she reminded us today”

“Well, maybe she’s busy then, I dunno” Y/N was brushing his soft hair to give him some comfort, and she could tell it was working “But you losing your head over it won’t make it happen faster. We’ll just have to wait, together”

He nodded and took a deep breath, trying to relax just as his girlfriend said “I’m just nervous, this would be a great opportunity for me and I really want to get in”

 “I know, and you will. She’s gonna post that list and you’ll see your name on it”

Dalton appreciated her hyping him up, she was his number one fan and he loved her for that “Thanks, although you’re only saying that because I’m your boyfriend”

“Well, I might be a little biassed here-”

“You can be biassed”

“But you’re like the most talented artist I’ve ever met, and I’ve met plenty of artists” She said, making Dalton blush “I understand you’re nervous but we both know how amazing and talented you are and how much Armagan loves your art”

Dalton’s smile grew bigger. He took a quick look at her lips and slowly leaned in to give her a kiss, but a sudden tone coming from his computer interrupted them, notifying him there was a new post on his student dashboard. His heart started to race as he noticed an email from his professor come in at the same time.

They both paid attention to the screen as Dalton’s shaky hands opened both notifications, quickly reading through the event description and scrolling down to what he’s been dying to find out. He had been holding his breath the entire time, but when he finally made it to the list he let out a sigh of relief when he read his name at the very top.

“I’m in!” He exclaimed excitedly. They stood up and Dalton immediately pulled her in for a hug, slightly lifting her up “I can’t believe she chose me”

“I’m so proud of you, baby” Y/N said kissing his face repeatedly “I knew you’d make it” 

Dalton finally pressed his lips against hers, all the stress of waiting leaving his body once in for all “I’ll probably have a lot to do until the art show” He whispered when he pulled away.

“That’s okay” Y/N said before going back to their previous position.

Dalton read the email again, this time paying close attention to the description so that he could start getting everything ready for his big day. The announcement listed ten art students, and Dalton was the only sophomore that made it, the rest of them were seniors and that for sure boosted his confidence a little bit, but at the same time he felt more pressure since the other students probably had more experience than him. The description stated that each student could bring five existing pieces and three new ones, so he had to start working right away.

He had exactly three weeks to get everything done and Y/N was aware that this would take up most of his free time, and even though it made her sad that they wouldn't spend as much time together she was okay with that because she knew how much it meant for Dalton and she couldn’t be any prouder. 

Dalton started working on his new art pieces the very next day, running to his dorm as soon as his classes ended so that he wouldn’t waste any time. He would usually wait for Y/N and then meet Chris and Annie somewhere for lunch, but it looked like it would be just the three of them for a few weeks.

The four friends have known each other since the very first term, immediately hitting it off and spending a lot of time together, but Y/N and Dalton have been in a secret relationship for the past 4 months so for that period of time they had been making excuses to cancel on the other two and have some alone time. There wasn’t exactly a reason for them to hide their relationship from everyone else, but they wanted to wait a little longer before letting their friends know, mainly because they didn’t want them to feel weird around them just because they were now a couple, but they were planning on telling them… eventually.

Y/N, Chris and Annie were currently walking down the street as they tried to decide what to have for lunch, something that always took a lot of time and deliberation.

“What about pizza?” Y/N asked, looking around at the restaurants surrounding them and spotting her favourite pizza place.

“No, we’re not gonna have pizza again” Annie complained “Let’s try something new, there are tons of options here”

“Annie is right, I can’t eat pizza for at least another month” Y/N huffed annoyed that both of her friends rejected her suggestion.

“Oh, why don’t we eat sushi? Let’s take advantage of the fact that Dalton isn’t here to say no”

“What does Dalton have to do with that?” Chris asked, giving Annie a confused look.

“He never wants to have sushi”

“No, that’s Y/N” Chris clarified pointing at Y/N, who was shrugging her shoulders ready to apologise.

Annie’s eyebrows came together “No it’s not, Dalton is the one that immediately says no to sushi and suggests fucking pizza, literally every time”

“Dalton likes sushi”

“So why does he-” But before she could finish her question, Y/N interrupted her.

“Guys it doesn’t matter, let’s grab something quick so I can bring Dalton some lunch” Y/N pulled out her phone again to look at the time, hoping he wasn’t starving yet.

Annie raised her eyebrows at the way Y/N was constantly checking her phone now that Dalton wasn’t there “Why would you bring him lunch?” 

“Because! He’s gonna be busy and I’m a good friend, unlike you guys, apparently”

They both scoffed at the same time “Alright then, we should probably get something easy to bring back to his dorm” Chris suggested, Y/N and Annie agreeing with her. They ended up having Subway and finding an empty table to eat their food, catching up on their mornings and the usual ‘update’ (gossip) on people they will never meet or talk to.

“What’s with the art thing anyway?” Annie asked.

“It’s an art show, basically they get to show off their pieces to who knows who to who knows what” Chris explained, and Annie immediately turned to face Y/N, expecting her to elaborate a little bit more.

“Yeah, pretty much”

“Good for him!” Annie exclaimed “And when is the art show?”

“In three weeks” Y/N replied. She was eating faster than normal so that she could be back as soon as possible “And he needs to finish three whole new paintings so he’s gonna be very busy until then”

“So does that mean we finally get to watch horror movies without feeling guilty?”

“Yes!” Chris seemed really excited at the idea “I could crash with you guys in your dorm and we can buy tons of food”

Chris and Annie kept talking about a movie night, but Y/N stopped paying attention as she texted her boyfriend.

Y/N: Do you want me to bring you some lunch? We’re at subway :) Dalton: Yes please

Dalton followed that message with a cute selfie of him posing in front of an empty canvas, a blushed face and his hair pushed back, making Y/N smile and blush instantly.

Dalton: I haven’t even started and I’m already having a full on crisis

Y/N giggled at her phone with a pink tint appearing across her face, making the two girls look at her.

Chris tried to look at Y/N’s screen, but she immediately brought it up to her chest to hide it from her “What?”

“Who are you talking to?” Chris asked in a teasing tone.

“No one” 

“C’mon! We won’t tell Dalton” 

“What?” Y/N’s eyes widened as her mind started racing, worried her friends knew something about their relationship and she’d have to explain herself.

“Well, it’s pretty obvious he likes you” Annie replied, giving her a suggestive smile.

Y/N sighed and stood up “No he doesn’t and I think I’m gonna get going, I have a lot of work to do”

“Yeah me too” Chris said. The three friends left the table and Y/N made her way to the counter to get Dalton’s lunch. She already knew his usual Subway order so after buying his food, they went back to campus. Once they stepped into the building Chris went back to her dorm while the other two found Dalton’s. 

Y/N knocked on the door and immediately yelled “Hey, I’m here with Annie” Making Annie look at her with a confused look on her face. They waited a few seconds and Dalton finally opened the door.

“Hey” He greeted the girls and moved to the side, giving them space to come in.

“Oh we’re just here to drop off your food” 

“Yeah, sorry” Y/N whispered, giving her boyfriend an apologetic smile.

“Right, I’m busy anyway” He joked as he reached for the bag Y/N was holding, taking it in his paint stained hands “Thanks bab- uh- Y/N”

Y/N blushed but was quick to reply, not wanting to give Annie a reason to tease them “Sure dude, good luck with your project" She waved him goodbye and grabbed Annie’s hand to drag her away.

“So... what was that?” Annie asked as they left the building.

“What?” Y/N pretended to have no idea what she was talking about.

“What is going on between you and Dalton?” She had a devilish look on her face, determined to find out what was actually going on.

“What do you mean? There’s nothing between us”

“Really? Cause that seemed a little-”

“Annie” Y/N rushed to interrupt her, knowing that the pressure of an interrogation might make her confess “He’s just really stressed out about the art show and you know how Dalton is when gets like that”

“Mhm, I guess but I don’t know Y/N”

“If something was happening I would tell you, but there’s nothing between us” Y/N said in hopes of making her stop asking questions, and luckily it worked but that didn’t stop her from asking Dalton later that day.

Dalton felt bad for the little slip up that caused all the questions, he apologised to Y/N a million times but she didn’t blame him, it was an honest mistake. So the rest of the week Y/N tried to make it less obvious, not staring at her phone as much and not going to his dorm unless she was alone, and she was going there a lot. It wasn’t a big deal to keep it a secret anymore but they decided to wait at least until the art show was over, the last thing Dalton needed right now was their friends constantly asking him questions about his love life.

There was officially one week until the art show and Dalton was nearly done with his second picture, just finishing up the last few details as he tried to decide what he’d do for his last piece. He had planned on doing different techniques and using different materials for each one, so the last one would probably have to be charcoal and thankfully he was pretty familiar with it, but as he looked around everywhere in his room he realised he was out. He was getting stressed out again, he needed to start right away and didn’t want to waste any time in going all the way to town to get the charcoal he liked to use, but he knew Y/N was still there.

Dalton: Is there any way you can bring me a box of derwent charcoal set?

Y/N was finishing up her lunch as she read Dalton’s message, immediately thinking of an excuse that would work on her friends.

“Y/N, are you going to the halloween party?” Chris asked her, pulling her out of her thoughts.

“Uhh- sure, when is that?”

“On halloween…” Chris said in an obvious tone.

“Right. Yeah, I’ll be there”

“Cool, so let’s decide on our costumes, we want to have enough time to plan them” Chris suggested.

“We might want to do matching ones, there’s gonna be a big prize and I heard the group costumes have a better chance at winning” Annie pulled out her phone and started scrolling on pinterest.

“You guys should look into it and let me know, but I’m gonna head out”

“Okay, let’s go” Chris said, ready to grab her things and walk out.

“No! You guys should stay, I don’t wanna interrupt your lunch just because of my poor time management” The two girls looked at her with lines forming between their eyebrows, not really knowing what Y/N meant by that “I forgot I have an assignment I need to turn in by 4:00 PM so I’m just gonna run to the library, but I’ll see you guys later” Y/N left the restaurant and discreetly looked behind her to ensure she was alone. 

Once she bought the box of materials Dalton needed she went back to campus, trying to be as fast as possible so she wouldn’t hold her boyfriend back, running up to his dorm and knocking on his door.

“You’re my saviour” Dalton said as soon as he opened the door, pulling her into his room and giving her a quick kiss “Thanks baby”

“Of course” Y/N replied, happy she could help and happy to see him again “So how is it going?”

“I finished the second one just 10 minutes ago” Dalton pointed at the canvas as he took the box from Y/N’s hands.

“So I’m on time?”

“You are, don’t worry” Dalton struggled a little to open his charcoal, so he just gave up and made his way to his backpack and pulled out a pair of scissors to cut the box open.

Y/N got closer to the newly done picture to admire it better “I love it” She whispered with a big smile.

“Shit” Dalton dropped the scissors and immediately took his finger into his mouth.

“Are you okay?” A worried Y/N ran up to him to check his finger. 

“Yeah” Dalton replied, taking his finger out and showing it to Y/N, a little bit of blood running down his hand “I think I grabbed it by the blade on accident” He chucked to lighten the mood as Y/N examined the small wound.

“You’re gonna be fine, it doesn’t look like it was too deep, just gotta clean it up” Y/N looked up to him and gave him a comforting smile “Where do you keep your first aid kit?” Dalton pointed at his dresser and watched as Y/N took it from one of the drawers. 

He was now sitting on his bed and she was kneeling in front of him, carefully grabbing his hand and looking through the little box.

“This might hurt a little” She whispered before rubbing alcohol, applying gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. Dalton was looking down at her with loving eyes, not even paying attention to the wound on his finger anymore. After a few minutes she covered it with a bandage, softly kissing the tip of his finger before getting back on her feet "As good as new"

“Thank you, baby” He whispered, looking at the bandage.

“Do you feel better?” She asked him. 

Dalton nodded and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him making her stand between his legs “Yes, thank you” He repeated looking up at her “Although it still hurts a little bit”

Dalton faked a sad look on his face and Y/N squinted her eyes at him “Really? And I suppose a kiss would definitely make you feel better”

Dalton nodded and pulled her once again, this time making her sit on his lap “I suppose it would” He replied with a growing smirk.

Y/N wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer and finally pressing a kiss against his lips. It slowly became more intense, the air in the room heating as her hands moved to his hair and his hands were travelling down her body, squeezing her flesh every so often. They were too into it, the world around them completely disappearing until the bedroom door suddenly slammed open, making Y/N and Dalton jump away from each other. 

“We know you’re busy right now but-,” Chris and Annie froze completely, their eyes widening at Y/N and Dalton as their faces turned a bright red “...Y/N?” Chris whispered. 

 Dalton immediately got on his feet and quickly walked to the door “Jesus, can you knock?”

“I knew it!” Annie yelled before Dalton could shut it and lock it. Dalton turned to look at Y/N, who was hiding her face in her hands.

A muffled “Oh no” Came out of her mouth. Dalton sighed and walked towards the bed, sitting next to her and softly rubbing her back.

On the other side of the door Chris and Annie were looking at each other, a shocked expression painted on their faces. They walked away without saying a word and went upstairs to Chris’ dorm, taking the lift ride in complete silence, but once they closed the door behind them they started talking about what they just saw.

⋆ ★

“It’s okay, we’ll talk to them” Dalton whispered.

“I know” Y/N sighed loudly as she collapsed on the bed “I just… I didn’t wanna have to explain myself”

“You don’t have to, it’s our relationship”

“Yeah, I know it is but they’re my friends and I didn’t think they’d walk into us almost-”

“It’s their fault for not knocking” 

Y/N chuckled as her hand fell on Dalton’s cheek, using her thumb to clean the lipstick stain on his face “Well, maybe it was for the best. You still have a lot to do and I have a fake assignment due at 4, so” She joked, making Dalton laugh. She left the bed and looked for her backpack “I’ll go talk to them”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we both did?” 

“No, I’ll handle it” She said, opening the door and smiling at Dalton, who blew her a kiss to encourage her.

Y/N figured her friends would be in the dorm upstairs, so she slowly walked there as she carefully thought of what she was going to say. She wanted to tell them the truth, but the fact that they didn’t have a real reason to keep their relationship a secret for this long made it hard.

She knocked on the door and took a deep breath, slowly letting it out. Chris opened the door and stepped to the side without saying a word, making Y/N sweat like never before.

“There’s a reasonable explanation for this-” Y/N began, but she didn’t really know where this was going “Uh-”

“So I was right?” Annie asked. 

“Annie!” Chris threw a pillow at her “Y/N, we’re sorry, we should’ve knocked”

Y/N nodded slowly, appreciating her for apologising “Yeah, you should’ve”

“But…” Annie urged her to continue.

“But I’m sorry for not telling you guys”

"Is it like a fling situation?"

"What? No, we're not a fling" Y/N quickly replied a little offended at Annies assumption.

“So why didn’t you say anything?” Chris asked.

“I don’t know” Y/N sighed before continuing “At first we didn’t wanna tell anyone in case, you know… it didn’t work out but then it was just easier to keep it a secret, and we didn’t want you guys to feel weird about us being a couple”

“We definitely wouldn’t have felt weird at all”

“We also didn’t want you to be weird about it, like asking a million questions” Y/N staring at Annie.

“So for how long have you guys been together?” Chris asked, wanting to move on from how nosy Annie was.

“Uh- it will be 5 months in a couple of weeks”

“Five months?” They asked at the same time.

Y/N didn’t think it mattered for how long they have been together, but apparently it did “I think it’s my turn to ask some questions, like why were you guys in Dalton’s dorm?” She asked, crossing her arms as she waited for an answer.

“We wanted to invite him to the halloween party and see if we could get him to dress up with us” Chris explained.

“Okay, and most importantly, why the fuck didn’t you knock?”

“Dalton is never doing anything interesting, so we didn't think it mattered”

Y/N scoffed “What the fuck guys? That’s my boyfriend you’re talking about”

They both rolled their eyes but laughed at the situation. They proceeded to apologise to Y/N, who forced them to buy Dalton lunch for the rest of the week as a peace offering for bursting into his room without knocking, ensuring they would never do it again.

⋆ ★

Dalton sighed, flicking his collar up once more, carefully bringing the wide end of his tie to the left side of his body and over the narrow end, staring at himself in the mirror as he held the two ends together. He tried looping and tucking and pulling for the millionth time.

“Ugh,” He huffed out in frustration, pulling it loose again.

It was finally his big day and he was almost ready. Everything he needed was done and delivered to the art hall on campus where the art show would take place, his hair was properly styled, the ironed white button-up shirt looked neat and the suit fit him perfectly, but the tie was really holding him back. He sighed one more time before stepping closer to the mirror and trying again, but failing and tossing it to the floor when he realised it looked worse than before.

Y/N knocked on the door and quickly fixed her hair before Dalton opened it “Hey” He whispered as he looked her up and down, admiring her beautiful outfit “You look beautiful”

Y/N blushed and gave him a shy smile “Thanks, you too” She entered his room completely and closed the door behind her. He then pulled her in for a hug, wrapping his arms around her tightly “Are you ready?” Dalton smiled down at her and just nodded in response “Where’s you tie?”

“Not happening”

“Why not? It’ll look amazing”

“Cause I can’t figure out how to tie it” He replied, frustrated as he remembered what he just went through.

“Let me help you” She whispered. Dalton sighed before scanning the floor, reaching for the tie once he spotted it and handing it to Y/N “Come here, baby” 

He moved closer to Y/N, allowing her to finish up his look. She put the tie around his neck, biting the corner of her lip in concentration as she easily tied it for him. She tightened the knot to make sure it didn’t look loose “Is that okay or is it too tight?”

“That’s perfect” He replied, pulling her in for a kiss “You’re always here to save me”

“Shut up”

“No, really” His hand started to softly caress her back “You’re the reason I made it out alive these past three weeks, you got me lunch almost every single day and then you forced our friends to buy it for me, you brought the materials I needed, you stayed here with me to keep me company even late at night so I wouldn’t go insane… thank you, darling”

Y/N blushed and tried to hide her face in his chest “I’m definitely not the reason but I’m happy I could help”

Dalton leaned in to place a kiss on her head, taking a moment to inhale her scent “Y/N?” He whispered and she only hummed, but he nervously repeated himself to get her to look up at him “I love you” He spoke so quietly that his words were barely above a whisper, declaring that those words were only meant for Y/N to hear.

Y/N’s heart skipped a beat, it was like she could feel fireworks exploding inside of her “I love you” She replied, trying hard to pay attention to his every move so that she could remember this moment forever.

He kissed her again, but this time it was so full of love that nothing else mattered to any of them, even the nerves of his presentation disappeared.

Chris and Annie arrived shortly after and the four of them left for the art show. The art hall was full of artists exploring the big space, stopping from time to time to examine someone else’s art.

Y/N could feel Dalton’s hand sweating against hers, giving it a squeeze and a soft smile to comfort him.

He eventually left them to speak with Armagan and a few other people that were with her, Y/N assumed they were important as most of the art kids seemed to recognise who they were but he would probably be busy for a while, so they decided to explore with everyone else.

“Dalton is so much better than everyone else” Chris whispered as someone explained their painting to a group of students.

“Oh, for sure” Y/N replied proudly.

“Of course you agree with me” She teased.

“Well I’m here to support my boyfriend, so yeah I agree” Chris and Annie rolled their eyes at the same time “What? This is literally your fault, maybe if you had knocked-”

“We get it, and we regret it, trust us”

Quizzical | John Constantine x gn!reader

『••✎••』

↳ ❝ Hi, I hope it's not too late to request John Constantine with the prompt "It must be magic, how inside your eyes, I see my destiny" of your list? ❞

: ̗̀➛ However he does it is a mystery, but John always finds a way to surprise you.

: ̗̀➛ swearing, VERY VERY mild sex references

•───────────────★•♛•★──────────────•

Stretching out on your sofa, John made himself more than at home; his shoes were chucked aside somewhere between the fireplace and the sofa, and his coat had long been tossed to the floor somewhere he didn’t actually care to look.

His tie was completely undone, sitting open against his off-white shirt as he watched you go about picking his things up and putting them away properly; he smiled, tilting his head to the side and watching you curiously.

Of all the beings in the world that he had been with, John kept finding himself coming back to you every single time; he thought at first that maybe it was just the overnight stays, but he soon pushed that aside when he realised that it was something else.

No, you were different. Maybe it was the fact that you didn’t pry, or that you understood almost completely what it was like for him; maybe it was just the fact that you were more open and more accepting and welcoming of him than anybody else in the world.

He put his feet up, relaxing and closing his eyes as he yawned softly; a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth for just a moment too long that you noticed, smacking his ankle to grab his attention.

“Oi! If you’re gonna sit there like bloody King Shit of Dung Manner, least you could do is go and make a fuckin’ butty, would ya?”

John grinned, spreading his legs so that one slipped off of the sofa, giving you more than enough room to sit between his legs as he looked you up and down eagerly. “Now why would I do that, eh?”

You wanted to roll your eyes and to chastise him for not doing anything for you while you were expected to clean up after him, but you could only sigh as you raked a hand down your face and shrugged. “Maybe because I have to put up with Bruce Wayne every fucking day?”

“You wanted the job,” he pointed out. “If you didn’t wanna be his assistant, you wouldn’t’ve taken the job. You said so yourself that you was happy enough working as his social whatever manager.”

“Social media manager,” you huffed. “And I was! I really was! But the money is better, and the hours are… less demanding.”

“So don’t complain,” John chuckled, lying back with a smug hum. “I might be your boyfriend, but I’m not your fuckin’ job advisor.”

You paused, stunned for a moment as you looked at him quizzically; he had never used that word before, and you were almost certain that being your actual boyfriend was not something that he would have ever wanted.

He was John Constantine, for crying out loud - he didn’t do relationships. But when you didn’t answer for far too long for his comfort, he raised a brow, looking at you like he was expecting you to say something and he was hooked on every little noise you would make until you spoke.

“What?” He asked, furrowing his brows. “Cat your bleeding tongue?”

You shook your head, trying to come to your senses as you sighed and attempted to put the words completely together for once. “No, just… you never said that you were my boyfriend before… and I never thought that’s what you… what you wanted.”

John didn’t seem phased as he gestured at the room around him. “Well, what’d you call the bloke who sleeps with you nearly every night, constantly calls, and is always hanging around?”

“I… I dunno,” you whispered softly. “I guess I just never… never really thought about it because you didn’t bring it up or nothing…”

He hummed, squirming to sit upright before leaning back slightly and resting on his arm. “Well, we’re talking about it now, ain’t we?”

“Yeah, I guess,” you murmured. “Is that… is that what you want? To be my boyfriend, I mean, is that what you want?”

He nodded. “I wouldn’t’ve said it if I didn’t mean it.”

You nodded back, chewing at the inside of your lip. “So it’s settled, then… now, go make me a sandwich, yeah?”

John rolled his eyes as he moved to get off of the sofa, but he paused to quickly press a soft kiss to your lips before he moved away; you almost missed his presence when he wandered into the kitchen, but you couldn’t deny that there was something… off about the way he kissed you.

It wasn’t hungry and harsh like it usually was, and it wasn’t filled with heat and neediness like normal. It was sweet and soft, and chaste and unexpecting.

You chewed at the inside of your lip, thinking about what it could have possibly meant; of course, you knew that you would probably have to let Bruce down from now on, as he often took you with him as his plus one to events and galas and such - but now you would probably have to tell him that you couldn’t do that, as you were with John and you didn’t want him to think that you and Bruce were a couple. 

“Alright,” John announced as he sauntered back in, wiping his hands on his shirt. “I got the cheese on toast going at the moment, I’ll chuck some jam on it once it’s done.”

You hummed as you looked at him, almost shocked. “Yeah, yeah, thank you.”

“You alright?” He asked, furrowing his brows as he came to sit beside you. 

“Just thinking,” you told him softly, dismissively shaking your head. “Y’know, I’m probably gonna have to tell Bruce, I mean-”

“You’ve been going out with him to all that fancy shit for yonks and I’ve never gotten jealous before,” he pointed out. “Don’t intend to, either. Trust me, it must be magic, how inside your eyes, I see my destiny - and it must be magic if Bruce Wayne ever thinks he’s gonna get in your trousers.”

You laughed quite loudly, playfully shoving him. “You’re an ass!”

“Meh,” he slung his arm around your shoulders. “You love me.”
