#but i think i’ve made up my mind (lowkey hahaha)

[gojoest]

sweet ai! if i'm remembering right, you and gojo have kiddos? i saw the question you posted and if you feel like it, i would love to know who your kids take after!

darling amira <3 we have two daughters (twins) and a son and they all look more like him ( : especially our son, he’s the spitting image of his father—white hair, blue eyes, chubby cheeks and big beautiful smile—just like chibi toddler satoru ^-^ the girls too have their father’s colors but my features (if that makes sense) i never knew his white hair & blue eyes would be such a stubborn gene >:( and satoru’s is so insufferable about this bc he turns it into a competition and won’t ever shut up about it but i know he secretly wishes they looked more like me hehe :3

[m1ckeyb3rry]

while I wait for pomegranate ink to update (greatness takes time 🙏) ive been thinking of headcannons about y/n and the other characters. my fav one so far is that after the night parade, gojo & y/n 's relationship was becoming less of teacher & student and more sibling like because they became more comfortable around each other. gojo mainly tries to make up for lost time after not seeing y/n for a while. They start pulling tiny pranks on each other and sometimes have video game nights together

HAHAHA PLSSS IDK ABT GREATNESS BUT ACTUALLY believe it or not I have been trying to write a new chapter for it!! I’ve just been struggling because I accidentally made maki and Y/N actually perfect together (more on that + a snippet of the latest draft of the next chapter below the cut) but it’s a fic for YUTA.

STOP I LOVE THAT HC IT’S SO CUTE!! I think they would be insanely competitive over mario kart and gojo would always win HOWEVER if they ever played smash Y/N would insist they play with items and then get lucky with the ones she picked up and she’d beat gojo that way which would piss him off so baddd.

OKAY because apparently I’m incapable of not rambling abt the relationships in pomegranate ink here is yet another long ass response about my favorite dynamic in the fic (although there’s a lot of interesting ones…why does pomegranate ink Y/N have such weird relationships with like every character)

So fun fact I accidentally wrote maki to be Y/N’s biggest weakness. It’s not even subtle it’s like explicitly shown in her fight with mai where the only time she loses her cool is when mai insults MAKI (Side note in that fight Y/N also: says she loves maki, calls maki beautiful and strong and her very best friend in the entire world, and when her emotions [aka her anger on maki’s part] get the best of her, she says she’s going to get hit in the HEART…make of that what you will). It’s also seen in the snippet I mentioned earlier which is here:

Like even principal gakuganji’s ancient ass is lowkey on to them. And for the most part Y/N is a pretty chill person but she’s pretty consistently been very protective of maki throughout the story.

Also I think with only a slight bit of tweaking Y/N and maki could very heavily parallel satosugu soooo 😔 I could talk abt them for so long but I will cut myself short and say that Y/N and maki definitely have smth going on and whenever I write pomegranate ink I always have to be like “no she is NOT with maki she is DATING YUTA” and then my mind is like “but they r literally in love” and I can’t argue with that so I have to write something else in the hopes that one day the yuta fever will return strong enough that I can forget abt the greatest wlw reader insert ship that never was 😭

[funkymbtifiction]

Hi, so I think I might be a 7 (739) since I relate a lot to all the motivations and fears of that type but I’ve noticed a few things about my mental process and behavior that I’m not sure are 7-ish and that I’d love to hear your thoughts about.

1. I’ve read a lot about 9s being avoidant but is the same true for 7s, as in being mentally avoidant, if that makes sense? I always seem to procrastinate doing something that might be painful in any way. I.e. I kept rescheduling a goodbye dinner for a friend who was leaving to study abroad because I think I didn’t want to confront the fact that she was leaving.

Yes. Deliberately avoiding pain and doing it through mental distractions and/or avoidance is a head type reaction, so this is 7ish.

2. I usually start a new task with high enthusiasm that goes down significantly as the thing I’m doing becomes boring, and I can only push through that by thinking that I’m going to win someone’s approval with the finished product. Ironically, whenever I procrastinate work I become super stressed and hard on myself after some time, and I go down a mental spiral of, why didn’t I start on this sooner, why didn’t I work harder, etc., only to do the same thing again a couple of weeks later, because in the end it usually all tends to work out. But I’m lowkey fearing the day when it doesn’t work anymore :D

This sounds like 7w6 combined with Fe, since you're using external approval as a motivator to keep you going when you get bored. What you describe with the self-chastisement is also 7 moving down it's line to 1, being self-punishing, self-critical, and angry at itself for not being more "competent" (getting things done faster, being more responsible in how you tackle projects, etc). But 7s never stay long in 1, they always jet back to their usual spontaneous behaviors.

3. I kind of have a weird relationship with the past and my own recollections of it. I’m always surprised when people bring up something objectively negative from the past because I either completely forgot about it or saw it from a different perspective in my memory. If that kind of reinterpretation is not possible, I usually think, well, it’s a good thing we’re not there anymore and we can really appreciate what we have now instead!

Hahaha. Peak 7 right there (STP?).

4. Lastly, and I don’t know if I can describe this in text as accurately as the thought is in my mind, but I’m hesitant to commit to a vision of the future for myself. I would say I have an optimistic outlook but I rarely rush head-first into anything. Possibilities are fun to think about, but whenever I have to make a serious decision I suddenly become unsure and claustrophobic. I think like, if I see this thing through (possibly something that goes along with unnecessary risk or expense), what if I end up hating it and get stuck? Sorry, I didn’t mean for this to get so long!

This is your 6 wing kicking in. 6s think in terms of "if I make the wrong choice, my entire future is screwed!" hence the over-thinking. 7w6s skate along through life, avoiding and re-framing, skimming the surface, and sometimes slam on the breaks when the decision that needs to be made is SERIOUS, and may have ACTUAL consequences. Then bam, anxiety, second-guessing, spinning their wheels, thinking too hard about it. But the 7 thinking is still there -- what if I get stuck??? what if it's boring??? I NEED TO LEAVE.

A Review on NCT 127′s 3rd Album <Sticker>

So NCT 127 just came back with their 3rd Full Album <Sticker> and this is my first 127 comeback since I became a fan last year! Neozone is such a special album for me as it was their first album that I explored entirely. I've known NCT as the group who never fails any expectations so I've kept mine up although I know they'll exceed it anyway. And guess what, they did! I absolutely love their new album hence this review~

This isn't a technical music review��as I am not a musician myself—but rather a listener's honest takes, goofy notes, and interpretation on each of the tracks in the album. I admit I've also struggled to build my own opinions on some of the tracks until I listened to them over and over again.

I have also heard there are mixed opinions on the title track <Sticker> and a lot says it's another acquired taste. But I think it's not just that, as it can be a grower, just like how most of NCT's songs were for me. Maybe after a few listens and a right passage of time, it will grow on those people. The bottom line here is, I like it a lot! 😛

So I listed down the songs according to their respective track numbers and followed each with a bulleted list of my opinions and interpretations.

(Viewer/reader discretion: before you continue, minors, do not interact as there are few 18+ contents under the cut. Thank you.)

1. Sticker

THEY DIDN'T JUST PUNCH A NEW NOTCH ON THE BELT LIKE THAT

THIS SONG SLAPS, LITERALLY SLAPS… AND WHIPS 

The recorder at the intro boyyyy I thought something was wrong but then I remember it’s NCT lmao

It already stuck in my head from my first listen from the Instagram audio.

With Taeyong opening the verse with his divine rapping, I knew I'm in for a new ride.

STICK-UH STICK-UGH STICK-UGHGHGH

To those complaining it sounding like noise music, imagine it sounding generic. I don't think it would fit as the title track. Not a b-track or in their repertoire, even. They are called NCT because they define the NEO in the music culture and music technology!

It honestly was an unorthodox, just like all of their title tracks, which I’m inherently here for.

Literally, no one does it like them!

The growls and the vocal flexes and adlibs! (You can tell it has Yoo Youngjin's brand.)

The crisp metronome sound that’s consistently ticking except for the pre-chorus and the dance break adds depth to the soundscape. I love how it’s used instead of the usual snaps.

The production quality blew my mind. Like how can someone think those melodies would sound so exquisite? CAN I CALL THEM GENIUS?

The piano at the back, oh my God—Yes! It adds this mystifying element to the song.

I'm not sure if it's a midi violin at the pre-chorus, but it added thrill to the song. It was a great transition from the bass line in the verses to the combination of the flawless harmony with the same instrumental.

"You treat me like a boy, like a grown-up child chasing a dream" JUNGWOO BABY NO MORE HUH

Taeil, Doyoung, and Haechan—the bridge vocal trinity!

But why the heck are they cowboys? I dig the concept, but why? LMAO

BTW GUNSLINGER MARK I’M ON MY KNEES YEEHAW

This is easily one of my favorite tracks from NCT 127's entire discography 💚

2. Lemonade

(⌐■_■)

Jaehyun starting off this song with his deep voice eee

The song opens to a verse oozing with chill confidence. They're like, yeah you're lurking because we’re cool.

This is such a huge slap to their haters. NCT's not chillin' like a villain, nah they're the main characters!

Well maybe they’re villains, but still ya not cooler than them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Funny enough how they could have just referred haters as simply lemons whose sour/bitter to the taste, but 127 squad's success is sweeter than all the haters' spiteful remarks so yeah, SIPPY SIPPY LEMONADE 🧃

"WOOF"

I might have just barked too wOW

Yuta’s vocals hooooO his voice just sounds so glamorous mhmm

Also Mark referencing their previous title tracks such as: Firetruck, Cherry Bomb, and Regular (it's Irregular in the lyrics) in his rap part 👌💅

I just love Mark's energy when he raps. HE RESOLUTELY BITES AND STRAIGHT UP EATS EVERY TIME HE DOES.

3. Breakfast

Now breakfast time, oh jeez!

AAAHAHFU—

Summer 127's bestie!

If Summer 127 talks about dancing all night long, Breakfast is the morning after.

You know what it is.

"Even if I gulp and drink you, it's not enough for me." oho Taeyong no you ha—STOP

Sexual innuendos aside, isn't it just sweet if someone tells you they'd want to have breakfast with you every day?  Okay maybe I'm melting at the thought 😩🙈💞

And I can see myself dancing to this song as I make breakfast (in the afternoon or at midnight bc I’m crazy)

This was an okay b-track for me at the first skim on the album, but boy it grew on me wildly.

Honestly one of my favorite tracks in this album.

4. Focus

Did I just invade a private call? LMAO

The analog voice filters make it like so.

Dude, this feels intimate in the level of eavesdropping a phone call between seasoned lovers. Then you realize you hear them whispering their kinks over the line and you're ooh, that's sexy! hfgklhfhf

My first listen to this, I almost went feral because,

"I can't wait to eat you…" when it's actually "I can't wait 'til we chill…" aahaha

"Baby call me when you want me." OKAY!

This sounds relaxing and chill. I'd love to play this on a late night drive or just before bed time along with Fly Away With Me, Sun & Moon, My Youth, and Long Flight.

Belongs to ‘make out session’ playlist  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That was lowkey a playlist recommendation, huh?

I'd be kidding if I don't say I could touch myself while listening to this song AHAHAFGHFJFJ

I didn't know this would grow on me this much lol I love love LOVE THIS!

5. The Rainy Night

Ooh, the holy melancholy!

Piano at the intro—I knew I'd cry to this.

This song isn't just about break-up, but the heartbreak after one.

The yearning; the remnant pieces from the shattering of what was once there.

I think I crumbled from this one.

This hit so hard I felt like I fit in the shoes with the lyrics throughout the entire song.

What’s fascinating is I clearly forgot the title when I mentally said this sounds like a sad rainy day song from the first listen.

Something I’d turn up when it suddenly rains, just because I want to feel the blues.

Taeil and Haechan singing in lower register? I wanna cry :( they’re just one of the best vocalists in K-music industry right now.

Could have been also nice if they added Yuta to the vocals.

"My selfish heart who waits for you to come back," OKAY WHO HURT THEM?

And the fact that they sang it so good that it translated every ounce of the emotions well even before I looked up for English translations is the reason why I love this song too.

6. Far

Hmm… What the hell?! Do I like this? Wait...

Alright!

The jumpy vibe from the first verse to the pre-chorus set the mood for this song. It sounds merry and heavy. It was honestly too much to take until I’ve reached the chorus part.

Honestly, I think this song could fit NCT Dream better, as it gives off a vibe similar to Hello Future's b-tracks. If some credible source say this could have made HF’s track list, I might believe you too fast.

Also Dream’s Deja Vu where they go na nananananana na na na~

Playful yet confident! That’s what I mean!

As usual, the vocals are insane! Vocal flex from left to right!

I swear Jungwoo sounded a bit like Taemin at the second verse that I had to replay it hahaha

I love hearing Johnny as a vocalist! SM, how many signs do you need until you utilize his vocal talent???

Taeil's part where he sings, "go nuts, go nuts, 'til we go bust, go bust" IDEK BUT I SNORTED A LAUGH AT FIRST LISTEN HFCAHKFHK

Not my favorite, but still great though!

But wait it’s actually stuck in my head???

7. Bring The Noize

Yes, they never beat those noise music allegations

HERE'S SOME NOIZE, BITCHES

I love me some noisy percussions. AND THE BASS YO

This screams so much confidence!

The build up from the pre-chorus to the chorus—FIRE!

This song reminds me a lot of SuperM's Super Car, especially with the engine roar samples and the battle cry-like singing at the chorus.

JAEHYUN RAPPING? You mean Jaehyun the visual, the vocalist, the actor, the model, the funny dude, aka my everything?! (markie bb look pls look away for a moment)

THEY DELIVERED IT STRAIGHT FROM NEOCITY THAT'S SOME NCT MUSIC RIGHT THERE NO ONE DOES IT LIKE THEM

When I said I'd play Focus on a late night drive, and if I add this in the playlist, VROOM VROOM SPEED LIMIT WHAT

OUTTA MY WAY

“We got no shame” ouh TAEYONG’S FLOW IS JUST VERY HIM AND HE’S IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN

You know what's so clever about this song? It's how it ended with Mark's final rap without any instrumental, leaving you  standing there with a doppler effect-like post experience.

A super car on a super speed just whooshed past you and you look its way as it zips through the road. It's gone in an instant but you're floored dumbfounded at a sidewalk. That's how I describe this song.

8. Magic Carpet Ride

This song… Wow. Oh gosh it's so beautiful.

Their harmony in the chorus—it makes me want to kiss someone so passionately that I'd cry.

This makes me want to feel love that transcends the universe. Literally, just please take me on a magic carpet ride :(

The background harmonies too oh my goodness—HEAVENLY.

Jaehyun's voice is so warm and soulful it fits perfectly with songs of this genre.

Okay alright Doyoung Grande!

And Taeil makes me feel like I'm listening to old school R&B.

The first time I heard this from the track video, I can't stop replaying because it's just that great.

This makes me want to love. I think that sums it up.

9. Road Trip

This is such a soothing song for me, especially how I easily become nostalgic thinking about the road trips I've had.

Whenever I listen to this, my brain immediately conjures up thoughts of my ideal getaways. Gazing at the sky through the car window, stirring up from a nap in the middle of the ride, and   eventually reaching your destination.

Oh, to travel around anywhere... (curse you covid-19)

Okay that's it. I'M PACKING UP.

But where do I go—

I could also imagine Mark playing this on the guitar and the other members sing along together, something like that.

Just Wholesome™ vibes.

I love how it evokes such a nice emotion within me effortlessly.

This isn't my favorite, but I still love this.

10. Dreamer

Eyyyy such a refreshing song!

This song is so bright it makes me want to dance. I play this first in the shower!

It reminds me so much of Elevator (from Neozone)

The horns make it more lively I think!

Yuta and Jungwoo's voice suits lively songs like this.

The background vocal in low register in Taeyong's part in the first verse is so good ahhfhf

Taeil, the R&B vocal king you are...

There's this part where Doyoung and Johnny harmonized, that at first listen they seemed to clash, but it sounded actually fine after a few listens. Maybe it's just that I've never heard them do it before.

And I think it's Doyoung's laugh at the end of the bridge? Oh my goodness I really love this too!

11. Promise You

MY FIRST LOVE AND MOST FAVORITE SONG IN THE ALBUM!!!

The first time I heard this from their NCIT Sharehouse Sitcom, I fell in love with the song already.

It sounds like something you'd feel from a warm, welcoming hug.

The lyrics are so beautiful and endearing. It's definitely a be-there-for-you type of song that will touch your heart.

It definitely sounds like a promise.

A song about platonic intimacy.

This really fits to be the closing song of the album. It's like the end of it but holds a promise that says “see you soon.”

Because they cherish their fans like that.

It's also like I've watched a movie with a happy ending, where the camera pans up to the clear sky and this song starts playing.

Speaking of ending, I would love to hear them sing this as an encore stage in their concert. You know, that moment just before the stage lights die down at the end of the concert where they send final blows of flying kisses to NCTzens. Then you come home smiling and crying.

This wasn't supposed to be this long since I originally planned to write this with just simple phrases and emojis but I got too engrossed lol. I also meant to include my own ratings but I figured it’s pointless since I can’t really decide about them hahaha

I really enjoyed the whole album and I love how they're progressively defining what NEO means by breaking through standards. It's not NCT music if it doesn't make you say "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" But then you realize it’s stuck in your head and you’re enjoying it already.

✨ OVERALL RATING: 127/10 💚

if you’ve reached until here, thank you for letting me share you a braincell or two 💞

[palettes-and-prompts]

Character Palette/Personality Palette

If I have seen the movie/show/or whatever this character is in I will let you know! But if I haven't I'm just gonna give my best guess to their personality or what I think they like and everything. I will make them two palettes, one based on their appearance and one based on what I think their personality is. If you'd rather not see this just block the tag "character palette and personality guess" I figure no one's tagging anything like that so it should be easy to filter out. If you genuinely like this character and I lowkey diss them I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize though, you're going to have to live with it. If you wanna send me a character for a palette and my guess at their personality/interests just drop it on anon and I'll see what I can do.

Alright so this is Victor from the game/anime Mr Love: Queen's Choice. I have never played this game or seen the anime, I don't plan on playing or watching it, I've played games like this and they're not really my thing but let's get into it!

The style isn't bad, he's good looking I guess. I don't like his hands because they are fucking huge compared to his body, he's got yaoi hands and I don't fuck with it. And he's got incredibly long legs, I just noticed, big ass shoulders. He's the kind of guy in an anime or drama that gets the girl but you really don't want him to. He's the boring dude, you know? The guy that's got this bland personality and the main character is like "He's such a good guy and he's really funny, he makes me laugh." Shut up. No he doesn't. I've seen a million of these characters. He's almost always incredibly possessive and gets jealous if another person even breathes in the main character's direction. And he's not funny, they're never fucking funny. You just like him cause he's tall! He's not funny. I have never met one person over six foot who has made me laugh. Not one. He's every businessman ever. He looks like a CEO who has like minimal knowledge of the company. He's that guy who can seal any deal because he is kind of attractive. He's the guy who swirls the glass of wine at a party and gives a short little laugh like "Hahaha, business!" and then everyone else does that rich person laugh. He is a handsome rich business man with the personality of a store window mannequin. The kind of guy you meet who tries to convince you to destroy the world with him and in the end of the story you find out he was a robot the whole time. And you're like, "no, he can't be a robot. What about those times we had together." But then you realize everything you did together was never romantic and they were just really weird outings. Like, every restaurant you'd go to he'd never eat. And you just thought he was watching his weight or something. And like, every time you went to kiss or whatever he'd pull away and you're like "Oh, okay, maybe he's asexual or something and he's just not into kissing." But then you notice he like, sleeps standing up in the corner and you swore one time you saw him drinking oil but were like "it couldn't have been oil, it's probably just Coca Cola or something and I just have bad vision. But then he rips off his human mask and he's a robot underneath and all those things your mind just thought were something else were just him being a robot.

Anyway here's his palette based on his character design.

And here is his palette based on what I think his personality is.

[florianwirtz]

2020 is coming to an end and honestly I don’t really believe it. I still feel like I’m processing events happening in May. But I wanna say that I’m proud that you made it through that year and hope many good things will come to you in 2021. It was an awful situation for all of us and I hope you are not too harsh on yourself if you didn’t achieve want you wanted due to what is going on right now.

I want to take the time and say thank you for making the majority of my time a good one. Regardless of what is going on sometimes, I’m glad I got to meet so many cool people here, friends I wanna keep for life and started to treasure. I’ve been keeping myself lowkey the past month but I hope you know that I still appreciate and love you.

now my list of special people in my heart. I hope we will see us in 2021 again and thank you for everything. ❤️

@modricmio - we haven’t been in much contact lately but I hope you are well! I know I can always count on you and I love you. After all these years, I’m still grateful that I get to call you my friend. <3

@trentalexanders - milaa! Although we’ve been knowing us for quite a long time already, I feel like this year we grew particularly close! I feel like we have the perfect banter rivalry friendship where we can have a mix of banter and serious talk! It’s always so fun to talk with you and push my James Justin propaganda (I’m sorry for being quiet for a while but I hope you know it’s always gonna be him) 😘 #teamjj 

@dancefaeries - I’m still mad that your first association with me is probably that Harvey Barnes pic 🙃 because I associate you with Boilerman and I think that’s waaaay cooler (we probably should do a rate the mascot list one day) Also your awfully bland taste in men. Regardless, it’s always good to see you on my dash even if most posts consists of complaining about how you’re much older than all of us and we’re all babies 😂

@footballffbarbiex - Amy, I hope you are well and didn’t forget me! It’s been an awfully long time since the last time we talked to each other but I haven’t forgotten you! I’m still sorry for never turning in my piece for the writing challenge (maybe one day I can make it up to you 😬) but I hope you know that you are still one of the most talented writers out there! I also enjoy our talks about how salad should be eaten and tomatoes shouldn’t exist. Because having good food opinions automatically makes you the best!

@stydiaherondale - Meliiii my love! Oder sollte ich sagen Jadon’s love? 😂 ich erinnere mich immer noch gern an den Moment zurück als du mich einfach mal angeschrieben hast und ich finde immer noch, dass es einer der besten Momente war. Weil wir zusammen gerade versuchen Erwachsensein zu meistern und beide iwie keinen Plan davon haben. Auch wenn du gefühlt 80.000 Clubs supportest, für mich bleibst du der einzige Dortmundfan den ich akzeptiere. 💕

@neckarinselstrand - es ist immer wieder schön dich hier wiederzusehen! Lia,  ich hoffe du hast 2020 gut überstanden und wir werden wieder tolle Konversationen in Spanisch haben nächstes Jahr 😁 Theoretisch sollte meins ja besser sein, aber ich muss sagen, ich kann immer noch nicht viel mehr 😂

@theweatha - we haven’t been much in contact lately but I hope you know that I still appreciate you! I’m proud of you going through with that idea of the podcast as it’s always a pleasure listening to you and Liz. I hope 2020 wasn’t too messed up for you and I hope you are well xo. May we talk more in 2021 again!

@julianbrandtrelated  - Ich weiß du nutzt kein tumblr mehr (ohne dich ists nicht dasselbe) aber ich will trotzdem sagen, dass du einer der coolsten Menschen bist, die ich hier getroffen haben (man findet echt selten Leute, die 100% immer das Gleiche fühlen wie man selbst haha). Ich hoffe, dir gehts gut und wir reden mal wieder öfter demnächst ❤️

@ehrenbrandt - was soll ich noch zu dir sagen haha? Mein Tag wär nicht mehr derselbe ohne den content den du mir jeden Tag schickst oder unsere täglichen Zusammenbrüche und Jubel über Leverkusen. Auch wie du immer wieder mein liveblogging über United tolerierst, ist einfach das Beste und ohne dich Fußball zu gucken, ist seltsam! Dass du mich am Anfang des Jahres noch besuchen konntest, war eines der besten Dinge in diesem Jahr ❤️ allein die unzähligen Insider, die währenddessen passiert sind, werd ich nie wieder vergessen hahaha!  auf das wir uns hoffentlich bald wiedersehen <3

@tottenhamsstuff  - you’re a weirdo. In a good way because so am I. Will I ever tolerate your taste in men? no - but if we’d agree on everything, it wouldn’t be the same between us, so I’m fine with that. I hope you are doing well with the situation going on at your country right now and I am sorry for not reaching out sooner. I’m glad I got to know you 🤍

@danieljamesmufc  - my favourite welsh ❤️ the reason why I always have an eye on the Welsh nt and I am an honorary fan! I’m glad I got to know you and although you rep a shit footballer, I think that’s fine. Also us sharing the same bland taste in men and knowing it never gets old. Grateful for our endless chats this year and hopefully one day we do will see each other, regardless if it’s in Germany or Wales. I hope you are doing well X

@zalimaaa - so actually I have no words for you because I feel like I’ve already said everything I ever wanted to say to you. But I will never stop saying how much I actually love you, the way you always care about me and help me out of every life situation, it’s hard to imagine what I would do without you. The first time we facetimed or when we rant about life or literally everything else, it feels like we’ve known each other for an eternity. I’m always here for you and the day we meet each other will be one of the best in my life. You always know how to make me the happiest, thank you for everything in 2020 <3

@emwritesfootball  - you know what you’re annoying but in a good way. Annoying because you will never stop to take that name from the chipmunk out of your mouth. Regardless of that, you made time during lockdown bearable and I will never forget the fun chats we used to have but also the rather serious ones! I’m grateful that I got to know you and hope 2021 has something better for you in mind! Also you’re one hell of a writer and thank you for dedicating so many pieces to me (even those with the wrong person ��), I always feel honored to be a source of inspo haha.

@shockintha - Alice!! With you, everything is fun and positive and I feel like everyone needs a person like you in life. I feel like I already said what I always wanted to say to you on your birthday but I will say once again how much I appreciate you. I know I can always turn to you about literally every topic because we either absolutely agree with each other or have a vastly different opinion about it. And I feel like these dynamics are what makes our friendship so wonderful. Thanks for always seeing the positive things in life when no one else does. I love you and hopefully we will see each other soon! <3

@idiotsfc - Alicia!! Nothing will beat your weird taste in men but since it’s so amusing and making my day, I’m fine with it 😂 thank you for always sending me lovely messages in my inbox, I love and appreciate you so much and hope you are doing well 💕

@magicmartinelli  - I know you don’t like sappy texts so I will try to keep myself short. I think it’s super cool that you like my taste in music and literally every song I send to you and how you started liking CHVRCHES because of me ☺️ the way we are secretly both sore losers and get mad about our clubs is what connects us. See ya in 2021 and congrats for avoiding relegation so far!

@donnyvandered - I feel like I’m repeating myself but it’s true that getting to know you was one of my highlights this year too. I have so much love to you and I feel like we are always on the same wave length when talking. Together with Radia we just vibe so well and I feel like if we’d ever do a triple meeting we’d get along so well.

four months apart ~ daniel seavey

requested: yes!!

Could you do an imagine where the reader is a musician and hasn’t seen Daniel in months? And like they come and surprise him while he’s singing his part of “8 Letters” on stage and its gets all fluffy and cute 

summary: as musicians, daniel and y/n spend a lot of time away from each other, but four months into their distance due to tour, y/n finally gets to surprise him on stage.

warning(s): daniel gets excited and curses a lil

word count: 1396

author’s note: k i know this (story, not the prompt) is lowkey unrealistic but idgaf i think it is cute. and also i did indeed go to the 8 letters tour but hunny if you think i remember the setlist, you are mistaken hahaha. so please bear with my decision that 8 letters is halfway through the show because in all honesty i just wanted to write what i wanted, not spend half the night fact checking itty bitty things lol enjoy

this had been planned out since the first tour dates were released. as a musician, my schedule was always jam packed. whether i was in the studio or on tour, or just simply spending all of my days writing, it was really hard to have a boyfriend. and then on top of that, my boyfriend is also a musician. and yet we made it work. going into this relationship, both of us knew that there were going to be long stretches where we simply couldn’t see each other and that was definitely the hardest part about it all. in all honesty, it was hard figuring out if i could even see my boyfriend’s tour when he was in our city, let alone when he was traveling across the country and the world. 

i knew as soon as they talked about an album tour that i would have to surprise him at one of his shows. it’s not very often that we get to see each other performing, because truthfully, it was our jobs. we love our jobs, don’t get me wrong, but when you come home at night and you see the person you love, the last thing you want to do is be working. so when we see each other, it’s rare that we’re spending that time working. 

that being said, there was something so special about watching daniel perform. there is almost no other time that i can see him be so comfortable and happy than when i see him up on stage performing with his best friends. it warmed my heart to see, and i knew that even if i could only surprise him once this tour, it had to happen.

once the tour dates were released, i immediately cleared my schedule for the Portland date. i told my managers, my family, my friends -- everyone except for daniel that i could not be bothered during that weekend because i needed to be in portland with my boyfriend and his family. i knew that it was going to be a special show for him, since portland was the biggest city he most frequently traveled to when he was a very young performer. i also knew that this was the show most of his family would be at, which made it that much better and more special. 

the portland show was much more towards the end of the tour than i had wanted. given that the only other shows i could see were the Los Angeles shows at the beginning, it was really, really difficult going into this knowing that i would go months without seeing him while he was away. and even though we made it work, i’m not sure how he’s even able to cope considering i’m holding onto a date that he doesn’t even know about. in his mind, we wouldn’t see each other for almost five months, whereas i know it only had to be four. i don’t know what i would’ve done if i couldn’t make the portland show work.

i let pretty much every single person tell me what i should do to surprise him. while i knew the general concept of my plan, i had absolutely no idea what to do. zach suggested i wish him luck before the beginning of the show and then watch him perform. his mom wanted me to wait until after and then run up to him as he got off of stage. it wasn’t until jack and their manager, actually, talked to me that i realized the best plan.

originally, jack and jonah had come up with the concept of me coming on stage during a song. they thought it was the perfect plan, considering i too love to sing and a love song would be the perfect time to surprise him. of course, it was also the least feasible, so no one actually informed me of their master plan until they brought it up to management. 

i honestly would’ve thought they’d reject it, seeing as it’s unconventional and might upset some fans. but their public relations team seemed to love the publicity it would bring to have me as a special guest, specifically as daniel’s love interest. 

and as soon as they told me, i knew it was what had to be done.

***

my blood pumped quickly through my veins as i could hear my heartbeat in my throat even through the loud audience. the boys had made it about halfway through their set and i knew my song was coming up. the boys had to make it through the first verse and the chorus and then i would jump in on stage once daniel’s verse started. from there, i would walk up to him and as soon as he finished his part, i would start to sing the pre-chorus with zach. it wasn’t a foolproof plan, but i knew he, and the fans, would appreciate the effort even if it wasn’t as smooth as we’d like.

i wasn’t the type of person to get nervous on stage anymore. i used to be insanely nervous, but once i got used to it i just got excited before shows. for some reason, though, i felt anxious to get on stage tonight. i knew it would be fun and i would be shaking with excitement once i got there, but just the waiting was killing me.

i heard the music start to plan and i decided to get in position by the side of the stage. the first minute of the song was absolutely torturous. i swear a song had never felt so long.

but once daniel started to sing, my heart opened and i jumped on stage. you could hear the crowd roar a little bit more, but the boys made sure to keep them aware that it was supposed to be a surprise and soon enough they were just cheering on daniel. 

“it’s like i’m whole again, isn’t that a sign? i should speak my mind.” i heard daniel say just as i got two feet behind him. 

he looked so happy, so at peace on that stage. and then i started to sing and i could see his face absolutely melt. 

“i’ve said those words before but it was a lie. and you deserve to hear them a thousand times.” i sing, harmonizing with zach. we had spent a long time on facetime perfecting our voices and then again once i got here. it actually turned out better than i expected, which was really nice.

daniel whipped his head around fast and almost fell to his knees as i teared up into the song. i finished the pre-chorus and then let the boys take over the chorus as daniel kept his hands over his mouth. jack and corbyn kept singing their lines, but i think almost everyone there had their eyes on daniel and i. 

i could see tears start to form in his eyes and i just stood in place, absolutely in shock, for a few seconds before i ran into his arms and let him wrap his entire body around me. 

daniel turned his mic off and the first thing he whispered into my ear was “are you actually here?”

i couldn’t help but let the tears fall down my face. it’d been months since i’d been able to feel his body’s warmth against mine, and just that alone made me absolutely emotional. “i’m here, baby. i’m right here.”

“how? how are you here?” he asks, still not letting go as the song continued. 

“i couldn’t miss this show. there was no way in hell.” i rested my forehead against his and smiled. “and you have me for the next three days. so i’m gonna have to let you go perform, but just so you know, i’ll be right there on left stage waiting for the next minute i can see you, okay?”

“i love you, y/n.” daniel says. “i love you so fucking much.”

“i love you too, dani.” i pecked his lips, held his hands for a few more seconds, and then ran off stage just before the next song could start. 

i could see the fans riled up in the audience, but i knew even as excited as they were to see us together, no one would be more excited than daniel and i.

AWOOGA HAPPY 200 FOLLOWERS BB! CONGRATS! may i req a matchup? i'm hoonie lol, i think im mostly str8 HAHAHA my personality can be describ as a grumpy cat ig? usually cold, mean, and reserved irl but lowkey soft with other ppl i like (like u aWOOGA) i'm 167 cm tol and curvy tis the big thighs and smol waist ig also i dyed my hair! it's lowkey platinum blonde tho my roots are showing aaaaa my hobbies are reading, playing the piano, sleeping, and writing. i like sweets and sleep! also cats!

a/n: aw, hooniechii. you didn’t have to join 🥺 thank you sm and ily <3 kith kith

i match you with...

Kozume Kenma!!!

listen, i’ve known you for a long time so i think he fits into the middle ground of what your type is – a switch, a dom in the sheets and a sub for your blog HAHAHAHA

he’s the opposite of your description – looks soft and aloof but actually lowkey mean and cold

what made me think of you two being perfect are both of your hobbies and your laziness

your interactions with him are overall chill with lots of cuddles <3

also, your hair match with his lmao

meeting each other

you were Kuroo’s classmate on some science subject he has and you guys meet through him

lowkey imaged you two looking at each other and saying they’re cute in your heads

you two would bond over your hate towards school, how it’s physically and mentally draining and wishes to just go home schooling

falling in love

i feel like you both have feelings for each other but you two don’t the have guts to confess

it’s become painfully obvious how kenma likes you cuz he shows favoritism like he does with games and Hinata

Kuroo will probably try to be the matchmaker and convince Kenma to man up and confess already 🤡

confession

gives you lots of your fav sweets, the man’s rich from his donations on his streams and extra cash from his merch

will absolutely spoil you on the day he confesses that you’ll know smth is up, very touchy and fidgety

will buy you an exotic cat of your choice, if you reciprocate his feelings with yours

as a couple

his fans on the chat would smts hear a piano playing before seeing you casually plopping down on his lap to sleep or read and smts you’d fall asleep on him, he doesn’t mind — actually loves it <3

you’re both kinda like a cat and will own a cat, if that makes sense. he also loves when you play the piano while he streams or sleep

his favorite thing about you are your thighs and breasts, the perfect pillows when he’s on top of you or resting his head on your lap <3

Hi! Might I request a lil story where reader is new to the base and is just naturally sassy (like a fun/goofy way) and somehow gets away with talking to kylo in this way even tho he’d probably kill anyone else who spoke to him like that and lowkey builds sexual tension between the two and such

I hope I worded that in a way that makes sense hahaha :P

I love your writting !!

Thanks!

Hey!!  I hope this is the kind of thing you had in mind!

And thank you 🥺🖤

Summary: When you’re transferred to Starkiller Base and finally meet the infamous Kylo Ren, you truly don’t understand what all the fuss is about.

The people around you, however?  They all seem to think you have a death wish.

Word count: 1496

Warnings: none really

Death Wish

You had only been transferred to Starkiller Base a few months ago.  You assumed it was because your supervisor aboard Steadfast had finally gotten fed up with your happy-go-lucky attitude, but you had simply never understood the need to be so serious around people, or the need to fear your superior officers.  Sure, they had the power to demote you, or probably even have you killed if you really messed up, but that was just it; if you didn't mess up, and you just did your job properly, you had nothing to fear.  You knew you were one of the best at what you did, and you weren't expendable, which meant you got away with being cheeky here and there.

The first day you had met the supposedly terrifying Kylo Ren you immediately didn't see what all the fuss was about.  Clearly trying to silently punish you for your blasé attitude, your new supervisor had tasked you with doing maintenance on Commander Ren's precious Silencer, but it didn't bother you.  Kylo Ren was just a man under that mask... well, you assumed he was.  But nevertheless, you had no personal reason to fear him.

"Mechanic."  A distorted voice pulled you away from your work, and with a roll of your eyes you pushed yourself out from underneath the Silencer.

"I'm actually an engineer, Captain Ren."  You sat up, and addressed him with an eyebrow raised.

"And I'm your Commander - do not insult me."  He was clearly speaking through gritted teeth, which didn't bother you.

"My mistake.  Isn't it annoying to be called a title which is lesser than the job you actually do?"  You shot him a knowing smirk, and you could tell that he really wanted to kill you.  But he was definitely going to let you get away with it.

"Fine.  Is my Silencer ready to depart?"  He hissed.

"Yes, it's ready.  But try not to wreck it Commander, I'd rather not spend all of tomorrow repeating the same repairs I've made today."  You quipped, and he practically snarled at you before shoving you aside and marching on board.

"You're lucky to be alive kid."  One of your older co-workers commented as they approached you from behind.

"He's not so bad."  You shrugged.

Weeks went by, and every time you were posted to work on the Silencer you had the same kind of interactions with Kylo Ren, but unlike most people, you survived them.  People would tell you every single day that you had a death wish speaking to him the way you did, but there was something strangely magnetic about the Commander.  You enjoyed testing him and seeing how far you could push him, and you had a funny feeling that he enjoyed it too.

You now even addressed him when you saw him around the base, and some days he would indulge you, others he would simply ignore you.

"Morning Captain Ren."  You teased him this morning as you passed him, his helmet immediately turning to look in your direction.  You could only assume that he was glaring underneath it.

"Mechanic."  He gave a monotone response, but you assumed that this was the closest he would ever get to teasing you, and you took that as a win.

"That's Engineer to you!"  You quipped back.

Every day from there you continued to push your luck.  When you worked on his Silencer the next day you left a note on the control panel:

Try not to destroy the new shielding system Captain, otherwise I swear I'll quit.

To your upmost surprise a note was left at your workstation later that very same day:

Don't act like you're not finding excuses to work on my ship every day, Mechanic.

You hated that he was right, but you were just so curious.  Why did he wear the helmet?  Why was he an all round douchebag to everyone?  And considering he's an all round douchebag to everyone, why did he tolerate you?

Another week flew by, and these small, largely insignificant interactions continued.  The only difference was that Kylo would now occasionally initiate the conversation with you, even when you were with other people.

"Mechanic."  He acknowledged you in the corridor.

"Captain."  You cheekily winked at him, and little did you know that he was relieved you couldn't see his expression under that mask...

"How are you still alive?"  You colleague asked you in shock, and you just shrugged it off.

"He can't get enough of me."  You jokingly grinned - oh you had no idea just how true that was.

Kylo was infatuated with you, and he couldn't explain why.  He had been physically attracted to people before, but never like this.  You filled his thoughts more than he cared to admit, and part of him thought that it was your attitude.  That annoying, jokey, sassy attitude.  It may have been all of those things, but he liked that someone had the guts to joke with him and talk back to him, it was a welcome change of pace from everyone being terrified of him.

Sure, he didn't want your attitude to catch on with other officers, but knowing that you would go so far as to tease him and not fear taking a Lightsaber to the chest made him like you.

You were blissfully unaware of Kylo Ren's attraction to you, and you couldn't exactly say you were physically attracted to him - not when you had never seen his face.  But through the few words you exchanged you had this urge to keep talking to him and teasing him.

As another week went by your teasing began to turn into flirting, although you had barely realised what you were doing until it was pointed out to you.

"Captain Ren."  You winked at him as you passed him in the corridor, as you now always did.

"Commander."  He responded, clearly only feigning his frustration.

"Whatever you say, Captain."  You continued to tease him, and he let out a loud exhaling noise.

"One of these days I'll find a way to shut you up Mechanic."  He grumbled, trying to keep up his tough front.

"Don't make empty threats Captain, there are plenty of ways to shut me up, so why don't you try?"  You smirked at him as you walked off in the opposite direction, having no idea just how much your comment had made him want you even more.

"Did you just... flirt... with Commander Ren?"  Your colleague's jaw was practically on the floor.

"Flirt is a strong word."  You snorted, "besides I'm still alive, aren't I?"

"You really do have a death wish."  They nudged you.

Your flirtatious comment had lingered in Kylo's mind all day, and now he wanted nothing more than to act on it.  But considering you had never seen his face, he couldn't help but fear rejection.

Eventually he plucked up the courage to at least come and visit you whilst you were working on board his Silencer.

"Engineer."  He addressed you in the hull of the ship, and despite immediately recognising his tone you cautiously turned around.

"Did you just call me Engineer?"  You hesitantly asked, immediately thinking that his lack of teasing meant he really was going to kill you this time.

"I did."  He said, and you opened your mouth to respond with a string of apologies for being so outspoken, but he interrupted you by lifting his hands up and pulling his helmet off in one swift motion.

"I- oh."  You stammered when you laid eyes on his face.  You had always been prepared for the worst underneath that helmet, assuming that he was either not humanoid or viciously scarred.  Hell, at one point you had toyed with the idea that he didn't have a head, only the mask.

He dropped the helmet onto the floor, the clanging noise it made jolting you back to reality.

"I've never known you to be so quiet."  He quipped, his lips curving up into a flawless smirk.  You must have practically looked like you were drooling over him.

The wisps of dark hair, the strong bone structure and striking features - kriff, who had known that Kylo Ren was the perfect man?

As the thought crossed you mind, a short laugh escaped his lips and then the penny dropped.

"You can read my thoughts, can't you."  Embarrassment washed over you at that.

"Sometimes."  He shrugged, "but that bit I did hear."

Deciding that it was best to own the situation, you straightened your posture and let your face form its usual cocky smirk, "can you blame me?  Nobody told me that the terrifying Captain Ren was hot."  You teased him.

"Commander."  He corrected you, slowly walking towards you and backing you up against the wall of his ship.

"My mistake-" you were about to let another joke escape your mouth, but he got there first.

"For once in your life Mechanic, shut up."  He snorted before closing the gap between you and capturing your lips in a heated kiss.  Finally that sexual tension that had been building for weeks was released.

It turned out you didn't have a death wish, sometimes it paid to make fun of your Commander.

interdimensional dads 5 (Finale)

Orange, Blue, and Purple all make a drum roll on the table as they stare at Red, who is sipping coffee and trying not to laugh at the lunacy that is quite literally, himself.

Jaune: Y’all dome?

*drum roll stops*

Jaune:Yep, your turn. You have to be the buffest for a reason right?

Jaune:And look like you’ve seen shit?

Jaune:We’ve all been through shit. We’re us!

Jaune:Yeah, but you’re you.

Jaune:How- I’m not arguing with that one. Okay, my turn. Since you brought it up, we, I gained weight for a little bit and eventually got back into a workout routine. I might’ve went a little overboard but no one complains.

Jaune:Alright, now we can back this story up and start from wherever you like.

Jaune:Aight, I guess I start with my universe beating Salem. By that point, Ruby and I had been together for awhile. I think we were always together to a degree ever since RNJR formed. We obviously didn’t actually say anything but the time we spent felt different. At least for me it did. Maybe mourning Pyrrha had something to do with it but by the time Yang and Weiss showed up at Haven, Ruby and I were definitely on “friendly terms”

Jaune:Aaaaayyyyeeee!

Jaune:You two are too much. Haha, let him continue.

Jaune:We were trying to keep it lowkey but I’m sure everyone knew. Back to Salem, that was insane. If you were to tell me I’d help save the world when I was only 19 then I’d laugh.

Jaune:Wait...19? I was twenty.

Jaune:Same.

Jaune: I was 21! Are you saying Ruby beat Salem at 17!? That’s insane! Which one of us has the strongest versions of our friends? I never thought about it until now.

They all got silent and thought about it for a moment. That was a very good question.

Jaune:Ummm mysterious voice? Do you have an answer to that?

[Each person varies, but a majority is between Orange and Red. For example, Orange has the strongest Blake, while Red has the strongest Sun.]

Jaune:What about in terms of team RWBY?

[The feats in all universes make that a close race. Red, Orange, and Blue have extremely powerful Yangs that would most likely in a brutal draw. Collectively, the strongest team RWBY would be a tie between Red and Orange]

Jaune:Makes sense, my worlds peaceful.

Jaune:And mine doesn’t have any organized threat against it, just the dangers of living in a world trying to grasp the concept magic and gods again.

Jaune:Well we might not have a concrete answer but I’m sure my wife beats your Ruby. After beating Salem we continued traveling the world to thin out grimm threats, just the two of us. Not that the others didn’t want to but they needed a moment to breathe. Ruby and I however, we were kinda on a high of being the heroes we always dreamed of.

Jaune:Your victory lap was more adventure? Yeah you’re definitely built different from me. My Ruby went on missions but even she took a minute just to breathe. It was a very short minute, but the minute none the less.

[Comparing the two is like comparing an lone apex wolf to a jaguar.]

Jaune:Well then....all of that sounds scary.

Jaune:It wasn’t long before we got a house together. Built it actually, in Vacou. It’s a nice little spot over looking the town and another one in the distance. When Ruby was 19 she had really gotten into her stride and was only getting started. Also, I married her. I had known for awhile that she was the one so why wait? I wanted to go on all of her adventures and create new ones with her.

Jaune:Aaaaawwwww

Jaune:Things were like walking on sunshine. All of Remnant knew about Ruby Rose, the huntress that saved the world with her friends. Then at 21, I got her pregnant. *scratches head*

Jaune:I know that scratch. That’s the “My bad” scratch!

Jaune:Okay, it wasn’t exactly planned. I was thrilled when I found out since I did want kids with her. I learned a month after she knew though because she wasn’t sure what to think at first. Ruby was perfectly happy being the hero, she hadn’t even hit her prime yet technically. When she told me though, it was after she had talked about it with Tai and thought about it. I think she might’ve been happier than me.

Jaune:My Ruby would give anything to have a kid.

Jaune:Mine would give anything for her husband back...

The mood suddenly got a little less cheery with that statement.

Jaune:Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring the mood down.

Jaune:It’s fine...this next part....isn’t happy. It’s the reason I fell out of shape, and partly the reason why I look like I’ve gone through shit.

Jaune:Oh....no...

Jaune:You lost the baby?

Jaune:Yeah but uhhh, not the way you’re thinking. The pregnancy was fine, the birth was a little rough but it was fine. A little baby boy, Dustin Arc-Rose. I saw him for about five minutes and then he was stolen, by Neo and Cinder. I must’ve ran the fastest I’ve ever had that day. Faster than even Ruby can move on a good day, and yet they got away. Yang, Weiss, and I stood on the roof of that hospital and watched the airship fade into the sunset. I must’ve stayed up there for hours, screaming. Yang and Weiss kept it together for my sake but not by much.

Jaune:Dude I am....I am so sorry that you went through that.

Jaune:We showed mercy to Cinder the day we beat Salem. It came back to bite us. Things fell apart after that. I shutdown, the others felt guilty, especially Yang. As for Ruby, she broke a little. She looked longer than anyone else for a lead and drowned herself in work for about a year. In that time we didn’t talk, I never knew where she was, if she’d come back. Tai ended up taking me to live with him and unfortunately, time wasn’t gonna wait for anyone. Lives had to be lived, Yang and Blake still had to get married. It just didn’t happen with Ruby.

Jaune:How did you even find the strength to keep going after that?

Jaune:In my world, Yang is my closet friend. Thick as thieves, the two of us always try to pick each other up. She never hesitated to be by my sad whenever I asked. I don’t think I could’ve made it without her since Ruby was gone. One day however, the two of them showed up out of the blue. Ozpin had decided to confront Ruby. For once I was glad he meddling in our lives. He got her to start moving on and come back to me. That day I realized how special my friends are. Most people would’ve looked down on me for failing, not going after Ruby, breaking down, but not them. They wanted me back on my feet for my own sake. Just like they wanted for her. I’m really blessed.

Jaune:That’s good. Friendships that you want to live for, I’m glad we wall have that in common.

Jaune:Yeah. Ruby and I took some time to be together after that. No work, no leads, just healing. In that year she was gone, Ruby had become a juggernaut in the huntsman community. Even got a nickname, The Storyteller. Keeping up with someone like that meant getting back into shape. Those months we spent together gave us a slither of the joy we had missed. Eventually, thanks to Yang having her child, we found the courage to try having another one. Her name is Carmine and she’s my gorgeous daughter. We even have another son much later named Garnet.

The other three Jaune’s clap happily.

Jaune:Yeah, that’s definitely a lot of shit to go through.

Jaune:Hats off to ya.

Jaune:How’s Carmine?

Jaune:*puts head on the table* Uuuugggghhh!

Jaune:Yeah, that’s sound you make when you have a headstrong daughter. Who does she take after?

Jaune:That’s just it, she doesn’t really. Not in personality anyways. Carmine is a bit weird socially. She can be pretty blunt, making her sound rude. She doesn’t mind having friends but at the same time keeps them at arms reach. She says they would slow her down. Not to mention her and Ruby’s vision of what a huntress should be doesn’t match up perfectly so they end up butting heads on occasion. Still, Carmine is sweet if you know how to talk to her and understand her words.

Jaune:She gifted?

Jaune:*inhales*....Carmine is genius in battle. We taught her ourselves and sent her to regular school so she gained a bit of social skills. No one outside of selected few knows she has silver eyes. Carmine wears red contacts typically. New types of grimm pop up regularly so Cinder is obviously alive and well. Can’t be too careful.

Jaune:Sounds stressful. I’d rather deal with cult and my world’s grimm problem than Cinder. How old is Carmine?

Jaune: She’s 17 and more impressive than Ruby was at that age if I’m being honest. Though I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. We’ve done our best to give her a normal childhood as much as possible. I think what we gave was an odd mix of normal and insanity.

Jaune:Honestly, same.

Jaune:What do you mean Carmine is more impressive? Ruby was awesome since day zero at Beacon.

Jaune:Silver eye use, age five.

......

Red took a sip of his coffee while everyone tried to wrap that around their head.

Jaune:Since a young age, I knew Carmine was special. She has a difficult time showing up but she loves the Remnant we’re trying to build and the people in it that want to do good. I’ve seen her look out over cities before and I could feel the immense desire she had to preserve it. That girl has a strength I don’t think I could take credit for. That stern look, height, hair, and guitar skills though, That’s me. The tipsy of her hair are red though. She’s like a half ripe strawberry, hahaha.

Jaune:Sounds like an incredible girl. Must be pretty popular.

Jaune:If she could come off a bit nicer she would! I’d give up Pumpkin Pete’s for life if this kid could learn to work well with others. I’m glad people like her cousin and a couple of others that can deal with her. It’s not all bad. They know to bring out the normal teenager with her.

Jaune:Is she like Ruby and panics at rats?

Jaune:No, but she can’t deal with spiders. We have grimm spiders that are actually terrifying and that ruined normal spiders with her too.

Jaune:Grimm spiders? How big? A boot size?

Jaune:SUV....one spun her in a web. It was really bad.

Jaune:Fuuuuuuck that! I’d hate spiders too!

Jaune:Yeah but she has fun. Ballet, sleep, horses, etc. You just have to get her to work up to it.

Jaune:What about your son?

Jaune:Garnet? He’s five, has fat cheeks, and is probably eating some dry cereal right about now. He’s Ruby’s little teddy bear and is chillin. He’s probably the only thing that makes Carmine a big softie at the drop of a hat.

Jaune:Sounds like you’re doing pretty well for yourself? That’s good.

Jaune:We have struggles but we make things work somehow.

Jaune:I still can’t believe Cinder killed your kid. I don’t think I’d ever recover.

Jaune:Lost....we lost a kid. Killed wouldn’t be the right word. Dustin...just isn’t....it’s complicated. I don’t wanna talk about it.

Jaune:Sorry.

Jaune:It’s fine. That aside, I think most things life throws at us, we’ll handle just fine.

Jaune:What do you think Carmine is up to right now?

Jaune:Good question. I don’t think she’s on any mission or working with local authorities currently. If it’s morning then she’s in the garden. Playing with Garnet if it’s the afternoon so he’ll tired out. If it’s night time then.....

“STAY AWAY!!!” A man screamed, shooting four bullets down a dark alley in the middle of the night. His target, a pair of shimmering red eyes that patiently stalked him from the shadows as he sprinted away. Each bullet seem to go right by his target so he continued running for his life, making a sharp right turn around a corner.

“You know eventually I’m going to catch you right?” Carmine said as she walked. “I’d rather you not make this longer than it has to be Tommy. We could be done by now if you just spoke to me.”

The only response the girl received was the sound of footsteps getting further away and a chain link fence being shook. Carmine sighed and looked around her before picking up a trash lid. She hurled it against a wall to her left and that was ahead in front of her, making it bounce off towards the right. The hunk of metal made its way around the corner with a whack! Followed by a heavy thump that hit the ground. Carmine continued walking until she turned the corner and found her target on the ground. He was rubbing his back in pain and groaning.

“Come on, I know I didn’t hit you that hard. The new head of crime orginization wouldn’t go down so-”

Suddenly the brute lunged at her, revealing a previously concealed dagger. Carmine was quick to react however, and grabbed his wrist before the blade could make contact with her exposed stomach. Carmine then twisted his hand down word and forced his entire arm slam down to the groun; the blade pierced the ground at her feet. Thick yellow liquid secreted from blade and soaked the ground.

Tommy felt his stomach dropped as he looked up to see the young girl staring down at him unimpressed. He went to reach for the knife but Carmine placed her boot on his hand, hard.

“Gah!”

“See? Now that’s what I was expecting. Too bad you’re not so good with knives. I guess you figured you didn’t have to be when it had Deathstalker venom in it huh? Now... let’s talk.”

Carmine rubbed her foot into the ground, causing Tommy to grit his teeth in pain.

“Stop!” He pleaded. “You’ll break it!”

“It won’t break if you talk fast enough. Tell me what I want to hear. A month ago you weren’t in charge. A tubby guy was and he always kept crates of his equipment in a warehouse outside of town. Then someone apparently shows up to have a meeting, tubby is enraged and kicks them out. Now he’s dead and you’re in charge, moving all of his stuff after you had a meeting. Are you getting the picture I’m painting?”

Tommy’s face goes pale. He starts struggling harder to free himself but it’s not working. Carmine can see the man start to sweat as if he got caught in the rain.

“Now I know what you’re thinking, if you tell me who obviously threatened you to move the crates, then they’ll kill you. But that’s the thing about the future Tommy...”

Carmine lifts her foot and swings it right into his face. She watches Tommy hold is face in pain before rolling him over and putting her knee on his back. Carmine grabs the knife and spooks him by stabbing it beside his face.

“It happens later. Focus on the present. Focus on what I could do to you right now and how to prevent that. Then you can think about your future.” Carmine said, not an ounce of playfulness in her voice.

“I....I....w-well I-”

“Before you try lying to me, I know how Deathstalker venom works. Only the babies are venomous and those are extremely hard to find here. Admittedly I don’t know you well but I know your men. They don’t have the patience or brains to find any here, because there aren’t many. So you either got the venom for this knife by being very diligent, going to a different continent, or someone got you the critters.”

Carmine leaned in close, barely away from his ear. “Or should I say made you some, instead of gathering them? Tommy, where is Cinder Fall?”

Tommy felt like he could vomit at any second. He couldn’t let intel leak. He sold his soul to a witch and now he has to live with it. “I....I can’t say.” He whispered, his lip trembling.

“I see. The fear is too much for you. Should’ve chose a different line of work. Maybe you’ll change your tune if you learn to fear me more?” Carmine grabbed the knife. “This won’t kill you but I doubt it’ll feel good either.”

Carmine lifted the knife and held is hand in place. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself. She tried asking nicely. “Sorry....”

“CARMINE!” A loud voice echoed through the alleyways and made the people in it freeze. Tommy tilted his head up and got goosebumps. On the roof was a person everyone knew and criminals wish to avoid. Ruby Rose, he hadn’t seen her in person before. The woman’s cloak covered the area as she jumped down gracefully.

With no noise, her heels hit the ground and stood before the pinned man. Her piercing silver eyes borrowed into him and her long hair blew out of her face by the alley draft. Tommy’s back freed of Carmine’s knee and the young girl raised him to his feet. While Ruby’s expression was calm and oddly inviting, Carmine still looked at the man annoyed. Time was valuable and he was wasting hers. He might’ve escaped the knife but now he was stuck between two women that could all but erase him.

“Y...You’re Ruby Ro-”

“I had this under control by the way.” Carmine cut him off. “Don’t see why you intervened.

“You had him terrified and about to wet his pants. That’s a bit much don’t you think?” Ruby put her hands on her hips and shook her head. “No need to be so intense.”

Carmine mimicked her mother’s gesture. “And we care about the state of people like him why? Lackeys and gang bangers with too much ego have no right to be coddled when they’re rotting the city away from the underbelly. People like that might as well disappear.”

“Carmine that’s not how....” Ruby let out a long sigh and looked at Tommy. He was clearly trying his best to remain calm. “Sorry about her. You know teenagers, always intense in one way or another.” She let out an embarrassed chuckle.

Tommy flinched again when suddenly a burst of red petals spun around him. Next thing he knew, handcuffs were on him and his back was against the fence he tried to climb earlier. The pair of red and silver eyes stared him down from just out of the shadows. Yet he could still see Ruby’s more positive demeanor.

“I’m going to jail?” He groaned.

Ruby stepped towards him. “Depends, Tommy.” She reached out and grabbed his shoulder. “The thing is if you go to jail and I bring you in, Cinder will no doubt send someone to try and kill you. Truthfully, it’s not a bad outcome, for me. I’ll just attack your killer and get more info out of them then you most likely.”

“But...you’d stop them before they kill me, right?”

Ruby shrugged, “I can only go so fast. Who knows what could happen, Tommy. Can you take that chance, knowing you will be at the mercy of circumstances around you for gods know how long?”

“N...no” Tommy gulped.

“I mean I could let you run away right now like nothing happened, but any more meetings with Cinder would be absolute hell on your nerves because there’s no way you can keep this from her. What’s worse, you could fuck up and give us information accidentally overtime and then she’d really be mad because we’ll keep an eye on you as long as you’re doing things we don’t like; an unwilling pawn for both sides until someone knocks you off the board. How does that sound to you?” Ruby’s grip got a little tighter.

“Pr...Pretty bad-

“PRETTY BAD!?” Ruby shouted. “Tommy, you will not come out of this well. You’ll probably be dead within the month if I let you leave right now. So my question is what are you gonna do to save your own skin? Because I know what I would ask for in your situation.”

“What’s that?” He asked, almost desperate for his freedom

“I would spill my guts out to the hero because they would at least try to keep you safe if you behaved. Tell me what you know and I will personally take somewhere where you’ll have a fresh start with a new name, a new life that isn’t Illegal. You’ll still sleep with one eye open just to watch your own back but you also know there’s someone who is actively stopping the person who’d want you dead in the first place. Get off the chessboard Tommy. It sucks to be an expendable pawn.”

Tommy could feel her hand trembling. Was she...nervous? No, she was sympathetic. The way Ruby looked at him wasn’t to scare him. She was stating facts and didn’t want him being another statistic. This was the huntress everyone talked about. The one that gives lifelines and creates new endings where they shouldn’t be possible. The was Ruby Rose, the storyteller.

xxxx

Ruby holds up an envelope to the light before facing Carmine, the sound of waves rocking a boat behind them with Tommy in it. Ruby was a woman of her word. She’d take him somewhere safe.

“Here” she held out the envelop for Carmine. “Take it home, no need for me to lug it across the sea.” She waited for Carmine to say something, anything. The girl only nodded and took the thin piece of paper.

Carmine started to walk off but heard Ruby take a step towards her before stopping. She looked back to see her mother frowning, an expression they were both sharing. Ruby looked at her daughter with her emotions clear as day. It was weird to be eye level with her. Without heels, Ruby would be looking up. Carmine had gotten so big the last few years. It was hard not see her as still little.

“I...I know we don’t agree on certain things, and I also know you feel like I helicopter over you. I don’t do it because I don’t trust you or anything like that. Fact of the matter is...I’m your mother. If I can find a way to solve a problem without you doing something drastic, even if you’re willing to do it, then I’m gonna step in. Just because you’re willing to make the tough calls, doesn’t mean I won’t try to keep them away from you. They weigh people down and I don’t want that for you. You’re my daughter, I love you...”

Ruby always hated their fights. It’s why they don’t do missions together. No matter how strong Carmine is, she’ll always be Jaune and Ruby’s little girl. Truthfully, she didn’t hate it at all. Carmine hated arguing too, if not more.

“I get it mom, I do. Perhaps...I was a tad hasty tonight. Thanks for...showing up.” Carmine scratched her head in embarrassment. Since when did talking to her own mom get so rough. “I love you too.” There, she said it.

Ruby gave her daughter a gentle smile and opened her arms, hoping for a hug. She knew she might be getting a bit too mushy right now but unexpectedly, Carmine walked over and embraced it without question. Ruby wasn’t about to complain. Any affection was welcomed at all times when it came from Carmine. Ruby finally let her go and got one more look at her daughter. Time sure does fly.

“My beautiful girl. I saw the trash lid truck by the way, that was pretty badass.”

Carmine playfully rolled her eyes and opened the evelope. Ruby watched the girl read over the paper several times before handing it back. “Got it.”

Ruby’s eyebrows perked up in surprise. A shocked smile came soon after. “You’re-”

“Of course.” Carmine cut her off. She put her hands together and made a glowing red rose form between them. She placed the thing right behind her mother’s ear and smiled. “See you at home?”

“Yeah, I should be back before morning.”

“Good, I’ll have breakfast waiting for you then.” Ruby watch her daughter start to walk off before Carmine slowly blew away into red and yellowish rose petals.

“My oh my, that daughter of mine.” Ruby chuckled. “I can’t wait.”

xxxx

“Done.” Carmine said, rewriting the information down as she layed on the couch. On top of her was her adorable baby brother, fast asleep like he should be. She reached for a candle that lit the room and blew it out. All in all, not a bad night in the slightest. One step closer to their goal. One step closer to the end.

Part 4

Wanna start Rosebud < Part one is a click away.

Kpop Update

I need to stop... or maybe not

Jessi

Favorite Song: Down. It has such a beachy feel and I love songs with beachy feels. Might lowkey make a choreography for it at some point.

Notes: Ok, so, I can’t even really remember how this happened. It’s like Jessi just popped into my life and I was like... Idk who this is but she is a Q.U.E.E.N. She’s just great.

A literal goddess

KARD

Bias: Somin

Bias Wrecker: Jiwoo

Favorite Song: hahahah lol... I really like Bomb Bomb tho. Made a choreo to it. Might post a link later if I feel confident enough.

Notes: Idek how my bias and bias wreckers are girls... they’re just so awesome. And hilarious! Somin just repeating everything BM says even though she doesn’t understand it is the funniest thing ever. Actually, this whole group is handsdown one of the funniest groups I stan. And even though BM isn’t my bias or bias wrecker, there is a large part of my heart dedicated just for him. Like, he’s so open minded and funny and I think everyone in the Kpop community loves him, even if you don’t stan KARD (don’t @ me. Just spittin facts)

How is one so beautiful? I aspire to be as beautiful as Somin.

The Boyz

Bias: Sunwoo

Bias Wrecker: Kevin

Favortie Song: Tattoo. Usually it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite song in a groups with so many great songs, but I literally love this song with all of my heart and soul.

Notes: So, me getting into The Boyz is probably the funniest scenario. I was just casually scrolling through Pintrest and Sunwoo appeared and I was like, “...I don’t know who that is, but I’m gonna stan his group now because he is so breathtakingly beautiful.” lol. Also, you ever see those idols that you’re like “I don’t even want to date them, I just want to be their friend”? Yeah, that’s how I see Kevin and Jacob.

The exact picture that led me to stan The Boyz

Golden Child

Bias: Jangjun

Bias Wrecker(s): Joochan and Bomin

Favorite Song: Ok so at first I thought it was One, but then it was Wannabe, but then I listened to Without You like a bunch of times in a row, and then I actually kind of fell in love with DamDaDi and you see where this is going so I’m gonna stop now

Notes: At first, I was kinda upset when Pump It Up came out, because I really like GolCha’s darker concepts. However, after seeing them perform it, I think that they really like brighter concepts, and watching them perform it made me like it even more. Long story short, I support all GolCha Concepts and you should too.

So handsome!

Mamamoo

Bias: Hwasa

Bias Wrecker: Literally all of them, thanks.

Favorite Song: Ok, so like, um... I can’t.... Aya is a whole bop tho, jus saying

Notes: So, I’ve kinda wanted to get into Mamamoo for a while now, I just always hesitate to get into girl groups because I just don’t watch as much of their content and it makes me feel lowkey disloyal... anyways, I’m glad I did and I just want to say that these girls are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. ok?! Like, they break stereotypes and stand up for themselves and I love them for it. Hwasa is like millimeters from overcoming Hyuna to become my favorite female idol because even though I love Hyuna with my entire soul, Hwasa is closer to my body type and she just flat up told everyone that she loves herself the way she is and that if they don’t like it they can just... f off (like Corona lol). It’s so inspiring and I’m going to stop now before this turns into a five page essay.

I aspire to be like Hwasa.

P1Harmony

Bias: Theo

Bias Wrecker: Intak

Favorite Song: Once again, hahaha lol. They’re all just sooooooo good. Total bops and I scream all the lyrics while I drive down the interstate.

Notes: So, occasionally YouTube will just suggest videos for a random group for me to watch. The teasers for Siren came up and I was like, “I’ll check it out.” One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love them so much. Like, I can even find the words to describe how much I love them. Already one of my ult groups. P1Harmony ROTY

I have the fattest crush on him

AB6IX

Bias: Daehwi

Bias Wrecker: Woong

Favorite Song: All of them. Literally. All. Of. Them.

Notes: First of all, I didn’t realize it until I started checking them out more, but AB6IX was a group that I’d wanted to check out since they debuted, and somehow I literally forgot to stan them (lol adhd culture, am I right?). Big mistake. But I’m glad I found them again. Second, Daehwi really doesn’t know how to write a bad song, does he? Third, I got into AB6IX like a couple of weeks after Youngmin left (don’t really have an opinion on it. Not gonna talk about it), and I just knew that with one rapper leaving, one of the other ones was gonna turn out to be a great rapper. I thought it was going to be Woong. I was wrong, but not dissapointed at all. Stan Rapper Daehwi (the boy can literally do anything).

I just think he’s great

Treasure

Bias: Doyoung

Bias Wrecker(s): Mashiho, Haruto, Yoshi, Junkyu, Hyun... ok yeah no actually just the whole group.

Favorite Song: Boy. I’m especially in love with Yedam’s line in the pre-chorus. Like it’s just so good. But the whole song is amazing. On that note, I have to add that Hyunsuk’s rap in MMM is what I’ve lived for for the last few days.

Notes: I cannot even begin to explain how happy it makes me that a whole third of their members are Japanese, and that two thirds of the rap line are foreigners. And like, they’re not even like ~average~ rappers. They’re really, really good. (Also, can we address the fact that Asahi, Haruto, and Yoshi all helped write Orange?! Like, bilingual legends). And like, the cover they did of Whistle was like out of this world?! Like I literally listen to it multiple times a day... might highkey make it my ringtone. Ok can you tell I love these boys? Yeah? Good.

Our cute Dobby!

Also, I had to include this:

Me (a fool): I’m not going to stan Treasure because I don’t want to jump on the Treasure bandwagon

BnHA Chapter 265: Tamaki What Did You Eat

Previously on BnHA: The heroes began their invasion of the Ol’ Villain Marriott. Down in the basement, Re-Destro was all “what’s going my fresh villain citizens, what a beautiful day, well I guess we should start that meeting” and they were all “WE’RE UNDER FUCKING ATTACK” and he made a face and I laughed. Class 1-B, Edgeshot, and Midnight then jovially killed some people, and then we cut to Dabi and Hawks! Hawks was all “sorry it has to be this way Bubaigawara but I’m gonna have to arrest you” and Twice got all Harry Potter in that one scene from the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, and then he did the thing, and fucking Hawks just fucking stood there and DID NOTHING. So now he’s gonna have to fight 100,000 Twices I guess, and meanwhile Dabi is running up the stairs on his way to intervene and somehow make things even more chaotic. Also either Hawks or Dabi thinks heroes are scum, and I’m still not clear on which. But basically it’s safe to say that angst is on the way, friends.

Today on BnHA: Tamaki turns into a horse. I have questions. Dark Shadow fights fucking Re-Destro and fucking destroys him in like two seconds flat, like holy shit whaaaaat. Then Tokoyami just hops on inside of Fatgum like a goddamn marsupial, and spends several pages like this, during which I completely can’t focus the entire time but I do remember that we learned that Machia won’t be joining the fight because he apparently only listens to Tomura, so that’s convenient I guess. Then we cut to Twice and Hawks (I literally typed out “Dabi and Hawks” just now and had to go back and change it, so you can see where my mind is at), and Hawks defeats Twice and is all “guess I’ve got no choice” and is seriously going to kill him (hahaha what the fuck), but then DABI FUCKING BURNS THE ENTIRE ROOM DOWN WITH EVERYONE IN IT WHILE LAUGHING AND THEN THE CHAPTER JUST ENDS. I feel like I just got slapped in the face.

so before we start, let me just mention that I got a ton of asks and messages about the whole “HERO SCUM” line, and I appreciate everyone keeping me up to date on the twists and turns of our wild little fandom lol. so as you all probably know, in Viz’s translation of the last page they had Dabi saying the line (“Twice, this isn’t your fault. as always... scummy heroes are to blame”). so naturally everyone was either like “whaaaaat!” or “I KNEW IT!!”, but then Caleb went and deleted his original tweet saying that it was Dabi, and replaced it with a new tweet, the gist of which was basically “I don’t fucking know either” and admitting he wasn’t an authority on the matter. so to sum everything up, we basically don’t know and will never know until the anime airs this in about three years’ time, or until the only man who can actually clear this up decides to stop drawing weird mushroom men for five goddamn minutes so he can clarify for us

anyway, so in the meantime it’s time to see who’s having angst this week! probably everybody! let’s just assume it’s everybody and save some time

ohooo so we finally get to see why they had Tamaki and Tokoyami in the vanguard, eh?

(ETA: gotta say, “you” is an awfully impersonal way to address someone whose entire body you are shortly going to stuff inside your little quirk papoose and tote around like a fanny pack.)

honestly this isn’t much of a mystery though lol. Tokoyami is obvious, and with Tamaki it’s probably because of his kraken thing if I had to guess

...excuse me sir is this leading where I think it’s leading

sir. Mister Gum, sir. please do not tell me you are actually about to lead these children into the building and down into the basement. first of all the thought of you and Tamaki in yet another basement is already giving me PTSD so no thanks. and second of all, ???!?!?!?!?! [gestures incredulously to the two children] ?!?!?!???? [emphatically taps my computer screen with the wiki page showing their respective ages] ???!?!?!?!?!?! [gestures wildly toward a picture of Gigantomachia I pulled up just now in a google search. yeah that’s right. Gigantomachia!! you all forgot about him didn’t you!! well guess who didn’t forget about him?? that’s right. so you’d better explain yourself right the fuck now, Fatgum. oh wait I’m still talking in action brackets whoops]

holy crap is Tokoyami giving orders lmao

well look at you. a general, huh? somebody must’ve told them about his little maneuver at the Battle of Taanab

so now some generic villain guys are all “HOW’D THEY FIND OUR SECRET PATH” and “WE MUST DEFEND IT” and I sure can’t wait to watch them get their asses kicked three panels from now

OH LORDY

EVERYONE TAMAKI HAS JUST TURNED INTO A HORSE. I IMMEDIATELY HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS, THE MOST PRESSING OF WHICH ARE (1) WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIS PANTS, AND (2) DOES THIS MEAN TAMAKI ATE A FUCKING HORSE. PLEASE STAY TUNED AS WE URGENTLY INVESTIGATE THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS

lol and the cow horns too. why though. just completes the look I guess

loooooool he’s all “apologies, but please remain still” who are you, Tuxedo Mask??

LOOOOOOL

by the way, I almost skipped right past this, but the text says Tamaki will be a sidekick at the Fatgum agency starting “next year”, which presumably means “in a couple of weeks because the school year is about to end.” our boy is graduating! I’m so proud, and also really pissed off about Mirio all of a sudden, just throwing that out there. how much longer must his dreams be put on hold. where is the justice. man I need a minute

okay! anyway so now Tokoyami is just running into the basement alone!! hooooo boy. I know it’s dark down there and that’s presumably why they’re sending him of all people, but still. hooooooooo boy

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS NO WAY

IS TOKOYAMI GOING TO TAKE ON FUCKING RE-DESTRO AND IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING AND WHY THE FUCK IS NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN SUDDENLY PLAYING

KDSFLK;L’LLL

AM I IN THE RIGHT MANGA. DID DARK SHADOW REALLY JUST GROW NINETY FEET TALL AND START WRESTLING THE SAME FUCKING GUY WHO ALMOST* BROUGHT DOWN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE OF FUCKING VILLAINS

*except he didn’t, let’s be real. didn’t even come close. but still, on paper the hype looks real good!!

AND DO RE-DESTRO’S ROBOT LEGS SOMEHOW FUCKING CHANGE SIZE ALONG WITH HIM. CHALK ANOTHER ONE UP FOR THE MYSTERY BASKET. PUT YOU RIGHT NEXT TO “BUT FOR REAL THOUGH DID TAMAKI ACTUALLY EAT A FUCKING HORSE”

OOOOOF

LOL DETNERAT’S MERCHANDISE REALLY IS TOTAL SHIT. CAN’T EVEN HANDLE A LITTLE CLASH WITH A GIGANTIC SHADOW DEMON

by the way, check out that one guy in the bottom right corner who just totally doesn’t give the least of fucks. he’s fresh out. he wants to know how much longer this is gonna last so he can go home and get back to playing the new Animal Crossing. did you know they added a new crafting feature. can’t believe he’s stuck here at this boring meeting. this man genuinely doesn’t seem to be at all aware of anything that is currently happening around him and it’s amazing. added to the box of questions

oh man. I don’t quite understand what is happening now but I keep expecting Gigantomachia to just pop up out of nowhere any second and I can’t fucking stand it. Horikoshi please stop showing us these close-ups of destroyed walls

OH GOD OH GOD!!!

(ETA: what a casual fucking line implying that Tokoyami genuinely believed that there was nobody in THE ENTIRE LEAGUE OF PLIFF who stood a chance against his latest super move. don’t mind him everyone, he’s just been lowkey biding his time to become the strongest member of class 1-A offscreen while his loser classmates were having dramatic family dinners. how many High Ends could Dark Shadow take out I wonder. why did I suddenly get a mental image of Toko losing an arm only to sigh and nonsensically quote Shakespeare or some shit before wrapping Dark Shadow around the stump and getting back to the asskicking.)

NO TOKO NOT THE ANGRY BALD MAN, HE’S TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE!! OH FUCK OH FUCK

LMAO

:) :) :) can we maybe get my solemn bird son out of this fucking DEATH BASEMENT right the fuck now. can we do that, please

holy shit!?

:) :) :) I can’t decide whether I trust these panels or not. why is he so confident. does this mean Machia really will be sitting out the arc, or is a trap. help

(ETA: I guess it’s okay for now. ... dammit I’m still suspicious sob.)

also, Tokoyami’s “?!” face is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen though. the fact that he’s physically incapable of altering his expressions no matter what is true comedy gold here

NEVER MIND, THOSE WERE THE WORDS OF A CALLOW YOUTH WHO KNEW NOTHING OF TRUE COMEDY GOLD

WHAT A FOOL I WAS. PLEASE PARDON MY IGNORANCE. SO HERE WE HAVE TOKOYAMI’S MONOEXPRESSION BIRD HEAD STICKING OUT OF FATGUM’S JOLLY BELLY FOR NO REASON, WHILE FATGUM IS ALL “DON’T YOU FEEL LIKE WE’RE KICKING TOO MUCH ASS AND SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN”, AND SOME OTHER POOR GUY WITH SCISSORS HANDS IS JUST LYING THERE DEAD IN THE BACKGROUND. MY GOD. I’M IN AWE OF THIS

dfkjkjk oh noooo

“does this young man amuse you,” Horikoshi says as he darkly pencils in the disturbingly concave shadows of Fatgum’s ridiculous fucking quirk. “are his ‘magnificent fellow’ bird antics pleasing for you to watch. I guess it sure would be a shame if I gave him some... angst”

but for real y’all I genuinely can’t take this at all seriously when Tokoyami’s head is still stubbornly and persistently poking its way out of Fatgum like a goddamn baby kangaroo in every fucking panel

we are entering another Tokoyami+Hawks mentor flashback and this is still all I can think about. why is he even in there. why is any of this happening. Tokoyami really just flung Re-Destro into a wall and then climbed inside of Fatgum feet-first so they could run along to freedom. just fucking ensconced himself. do you think it’s cozy in there. do you think Aizawa would fall asleep

hey Toko please stop having ominous thoughts about my other bird son

have you ever heard of an announcer jinx. “now here’s a guy who the fans have loved since the moment he was first introduced. and if you look at the stats, fourth place in his first popularity poll, which was taken only ten chapters after his introduction. heck, he’s so popular they even went and gave him a role in the second movie even before he appeared in the anime! it’s undeniable that this young man has a bright future ahead of him, Al.” now you listen here. I don’t at all like where this is headed and it needs to stop right now

anyway so of course on that note we are cutting back to Hawks

so we’ve confirmed that Hawks has his hands full just melting all of the new clones as they come, and doesn’t have the speed or the excess feathers (or the conviction? :|) to go after the original and put a stop to all this

or you could just ignore everything I say ever because immediately on the next page Horikoshi is all “actually he’s winning lol”

anyway but it sure would be a shame if someone were to run in and set you on fire right about now. that probably sounds sarcastic but it actually would be really bad lol please don’t set Hawks on fire

(ETA: motherfucker. goddamn. fucking --)

and now Hawks is making clones of his fellow League buddies oh shit!! but right when I was about to scroll down I noticed that Hawks is carrying some sort of recording device?? or communications device?? in his hand very conspicuously in that last panel? and so what is going on here, exactly?

oh shit and never mind about those LoV clones

that’s all well and good Hawks, but I need you to please just be very cautious and aware and proactive about not catching on fire okay. watch your six

oh my god oh my god

“now here’s a guy whose rise in popularity was unexpected but just a real pleasure to watch. he just really cares about his friends.” “you said it; he really came into his own a couple arcs back. twenty-third in the most recent poll, and the fans all love him.” fffffff Hawks isn’t a killer Hawks isn’t a killer, I can’t hear you lalala

LA LA LA

maybe... he’ll just... punch a small hole through one of his lungs... ...

...

or... a large hole... ... ,,,

oh THANK GOD he’s jumping on top of him. so clearly he’s fine because Shounen Rules. that’s right, this is a manga where Toga survived blowing up from the inside out and Jeanist survived being murdered and stuffed into a tote bag. (right??) why am I so tense I hate this!!

HEY WHAT IS THIS

or you could just KNOCK HIM OUT??? ?????!??! did they not teach you that in peewee assassin league?! Hawks

I DON’T LIKE THIS I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!

STOP SHOWING US TWICE’S SAD THOUGHTS YOU BASTARD NO I DON’T LIKE THIS YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY SO STOP!!

GODDAMMIT HORIKOSHI I FUCKING HATE YOU

“HERE’S A SERIES OF PANELS WITH TWICE CRYING AND THINKING ABOUT TOGA WHILE HAWKS HOLDS A FUCKING KNIFE RIGHT ABOVE HIS EYE,” HORIKOSHI SAYS WHILE IGNORING EVERYTHING I SAY AND DISABLING ALL COMMENTS ON HIS TWITTER, PROBABLY. WOW I JUST LOOKED IT UP AND APPARENTLY YOU CAN’T DO THAT? DAMN, TWITTER REALLY SUCKS, BUT ANYWAY

FINE THEN DABI YOU CAN SET HIM ON FIRE!!

JOKE’S ON YOU ASSHOLES, YOU CAN’T HURT ME IF I CAN’T SEE THE LAST PAGE OF THE CHAPTER THROUGH ALL MY TEARS

FUCK

[SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE] THE FUCK WAS THAT

DON’T YOU EVEN DARE, HORIKOSHI. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY “BUT YOU GAVE HIM PERMISSION”, COME THE FUCK ON, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT DIDN’T MEAN SHIT AND I WAS LIABLE TO CHANGE MY MIND YET AGAIN ONLY A PAGE LATER AS PER USUAL! WHAT SORT OF TWISTED MIND WOULD DECIDE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE TWICE WAS TO SET THE ENTIRE ROOM ABLAZE AND THEN HAVE DABI GLEEFULLY STOMP ON HAWKS’S FACE. WHAT KIND OF SICK MONSTER WOULD DREAM THIS UP. THIS ISN’T HOT AT ALL. HOW DARE YOU

ALSO WTF DABI, “HERE I COME TO RESCUE TWICE” WHILE BURNING HIM ALIVE AS WELL, JESUS CHRIST THESE FUCKING TODOROKIS I SWEAR TO GOD. DID YOUR BRAIN CELLS CATCH FIRE TOO

I CAN’T BELIEVE I WAITED ALL WEEK IN A FUCKING LOCKDOWN FOR THIS SHIT. THIS CHAPTER WAS A FUCKING TRAIN WRECK, AND I DON’T KNOW IF I WANT TO THANK ITS STUPID CONDUCTOR, OR PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. it’s not the manga we need, but it’s the one we deserve. I guess

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Uuuehghhuhggh touching grass touching grass and I’m lowkey SICK OF IT I just wanna do nothing now RAGGH ok but EPINAGI CHAPTWR BROOOOOO NAGI AND CHIGIRI IM CRYING NAGIS EYE SPARKLE TOO GOODBYEEEE

U20/3rd selection yuki truly on TOP like that’s the yuki that karasus afraid of in fwtkac and pursuit ugh he’s such a gentleman Noel noa PLEASEEE PUT HIM ON THE FIELD

LMAOO THE REUNICLUS ANALYSIS it’s even better when you remember it’s a psychic type and it’s probably using that to backup its claims like “trust me im a psychic type i can read minds and I saw the future and they get married #canon”

Am I hearing that there’s potential for the first yuki fic on the miraverse…..

NO I STILL FRESH EDITS AND ANJMATIONS OF THAT SCENE it’s got everyone in a chokehold (they better throw in a juicy anime only Karasu scene SOON) wait lowk I bet that Karasu panel is gonna be animated next ep?? Since the match is definitely kicking off and I remember that being one of the Karasu “intro” panels

That’s only such a flex though like “oh yeah I’m zooming in from my horse nbd” LMAOO it’s okay the abs will forever live on via this post on your blog or maybe this is a sign to start writing and riding more /hj

- Karasu anon

AHAHAHA THAT’S SO REAL sometimes after i’ve been too busy irl i need an entire weekend to recover from it and do nothing 😭 praying you get through it all and can return to being chronically online once more /j unrelated but i’ve seen so many tik toks that i need to send someone so i’m just to link them all at the bottom KFHFHSHS

THE EPINAGI CHAPTER WAS SO GOOD AS ALWAYS fire tabieita panels + BAROU LOOKED AMAZINGGGGG OH MY GOD and yeah the nagi chigiri scene was so cute i hope people realize how genuinely nice nagi is like yeah he’s a little emotionally oblivious but he really does mean well for the most part 🙁 he was so worried abt chigiri it’s such a contrast to isagi literally SHOVING HIM TO THE GROUND in first selection (i forget if isagi knew about chigiri’s leg atp or not either way it was insane work on his part)

YESSSS THIS ERA OF YUKI IS SO PEAK truly the man of all time…the only one to make fwtkac AND pursuit karasu shudder in fear/mediocrity 😫 he’s so kind and gentle and handsome and perfect it’s insane HAHAHA like i just love him sm

HELPPP reuniclus fake prophet era??? imagine nagi’s birthday is coming up so his pokémon band together to raise money to get him a gift or smth and reuniclus just tells people’s fortunes and then uses his psychic powers to manipulate things so that what he predicted happens LMAOAOA the entire team is pulling scams and doing anything to get money until one of them (probably arcanine) realizes that can just ask reo for funds 😭

YESSSS omg wait technically yuki has an oaeu entry should i do his next 😧⁉️ it’s possible…it’s certainly possible…

YEAHHH I THINK SO that panel is like one of the first we get of him playing and considering he’s also the first of the team to get the spotlight (since he’s isagi’s main opp as well as the highest ranked besides rin/shidou) we will almost definitely get it saturday or at least i’m praying!! we’ll also get isagi calling him a villain which will def pull a chuckle out of me because he’s just silly baby tabito please 🙁 he’s not evil he’s just a loser

LMAOO abs gone but never forgotten 😭 unfortunately it was a combo of riding every day and then walking my dog for 6-8 miles daily because it was the pandemic so i had nothing else to do!! so that era will never be repeated…now i ride other people’s horses too so i leave my phone in the barn in order to be #respectful HAHA so i will have to regain them in some other way

OKAY TIK TOK PALOOZA BELOW ‼️

BAROU edit oh my god they did him so well in ep1 it’s insane

this shit lowkey converting me to itoshism…NOO who said that

nagi edit with a karasu cameo AND slandering isagi truly this was made for me

this is also cracking me up because i’m slow i didn’t realize otoya was referencing smth HAHAH just makes him even funnier

most normal pursuit tabieita interaction

THIS IS THE ONE I WANTED TO SEND THE MOST LMAOAAO it’s literally oaeu aiku and niko @ barou i’ve actually been crying at the visual of them filming this because they would (aiku would do it to go viral and get girls and niko just somehow ends up involved like usual)

[valkyriesryde]

Shit yea let’s go! Ngl this idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while now so I’m really happy you requested this, I was hoping someone would hahaha. I hope you enjoy!

This one is a bit longer…i got a bit carried away lmao but i lowkey love it, obviously warning because she’s having a panic attack.

8. “I feel like I can’t breathe”

“For a charity gala filled with rich assholes this isn’t too bad,” Bucky mumbled over the rim of his champagne glass. His hand rested softly on her lower back as the two of them looked around the room for their target. He hadn’t shown yet.

“Come one,” Y/N reached for Bucky’s hand and dragged him towards the dance floor. They began dancing together in the middle of the room, one hand on her hip, one hand on his shoulder, their eyes cast over the other’s shoulder as they kept searching the room.

“If you wanted to get me to dance you should have just asked doll,” Bucky winked. Y/N scoffed. Now, she and Bucky didn’t exactly get along, in fact, the two loathed being stuck in the same room together.

This mission they were posing as a couple at a gala in search for a weapon tradesman who was supposed to be attending but so far he hadn’t shown. If Bucky had to spend one more hour pretending to be hopelessly in love with Y/N he might die.

“Would you two stop being so fucking annoying,” Sam said through the earpiece. Sam and Steve were in the one of the rooms upstairs watching and listening as back up. They were already sick of the Bucky and Y/N’s constant bickering.

“I’m making conversat-”

“We need to leave.” Y/N was already moving off the dance floor when Bucky caught up to her but her steps didn’t slow. If anything they quickened, desperate to get out the door.

“Y/N what’s going on? We can’t see anything out of the ordinary?” Steve’s voice was panicked as Bucky grabbed onto her elbow and pulled her back at the top of the stairs.

“What the hell are you doing?!” She glared at him as he ripped into her for ruining the mission, when Bucky paused Y/N ripped her arm out of his grip and starred him down.

“Steve, I’ve seen god.”

“Get out.”

They ran up the stairs two at a time, and rushed through the door of the hotel room. Y/N went straight into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her as Bucky slammed the room door and gaped at Steve.

“What the fuck?” he exclaimed, Sam was glued to the laptop screen and on his phone while Steve was pacing the room.

“That’s her code,” he muttered sitting on the chair.

“The code for what? Being a dramatic bitch?!”

“No you idiot! Her code to get out no questions asked,” everyone had a code, Bucky’s was ‘winter is coming’, Sam thought it was funny. The code was to only be used in an absolute emergency but Bucky couldn’t figure out what had happened, everything was fine.

“Oh shit, Steve I found it.” Sam looked between the men and back at the screen which was still showing live footage of the gala. He had zoomed in on a man, a man Steve recognised clear as day, the man who had tortured and destroyed Y/N’s life but seemed to always have a get out of jail free card.

Bucky couldn’t quite focus on Steve or Sam discussing their plan of action. As soon as he had realised why she left in a panic he was on high alert on what was going on in the bathroom. Because of Bucky’s heightened hearing he could hear her frantic heartbeat, he could hear her jagged breathing and muffled sobs.

“Oh god oh god oh god,” Y/N sucked in another breath, her dress felt too tight, the room felt too small. She kicked off her heels, chucking them into the corner of the room and clawed at her dress. “I can’t -”

Bucky didn’t know what came over him, he just knew he had to make sure she was okay. So he pushed through the door, breaking the lock in the process and then closed it behind him. He saw her trying to rip the dress off her body, hunched over and into herself. Bucky moved quickly towards her, he unzipped the back of her dress and she immediately threw it off her body and cowered into the corner against the bathtub.

Y/N’s vision was blurred, she could see the faint figure kneeling in front of her but she couldn’t feel his hands running up and down her arms, she couldn’t hear his voice asking if she was alright. All she could hear was her heart beating frantically in her ears, all she could feel were her lungs constricting, all she could think about was that he was coming. He was coming to get her and he wasn’t going to leave her alive this time.

“I feel - I can’t”

“Come ‘ere Doll, come ‘ere,” Bucky pulled her into his chest as he sat with his back against the tub, he pulled her between his legs, her back pressed to his chest and he leaned down to whisper in her ear, “you’re safe now okay?”

“I feel like I can’t breathe,” Y/N closed her eyes and leaned back into Bucky, she needed to ground herself to something, anything, someone. Her chest was heaving and Bucky had to ignore the fact that she was only in her underwear and pressed up against him. “I can’t breathe oh my god he’s coming,” her eyes shot open as her hand pressed against her chest, “he’s gonna get me” she choked out.

Bucky brushed the hair back from her face and pressed his forehead to her temple, he wrapped his arms around her and she brought her knees up to her chest. Y/N’s breathing was still uneven, she was still sobbing every few seconds but her mind was getting clearer. She’d only just realised who’s arms she was in, who it was that was grounding her. Bucky. Of all the people that she didn’t want to see her like this, Bucky was number one. So she tried to force herself to calm down, out of spite really, she tried to even her breathing but it only made it worse and she was on the brink of hyperventilating. Squeezing her eyes shut Y/N tried to push back any feeling of panic, any fear that was moving through her but it was fucking working!

“You’re safe here. He’s not going to get you here,” Y/N felt Bucky’s lips ghost over her cheek as he spoke, his voice was so calm, so soft, “have I ever let you get hurt before?” She shook her head slightly, sucking in a breath. Her breathing was starting to calm down, Bucky could hear her heartbeat slowly, becoming less frantic, less frightened. “Exactly, that’d give me a bad rep and I can’t have that so I’m sorry but I’m going to have to keep keeping you safe if that’s alright with you?” He nudged her cheek and nuzzled into her neck when she let out a light laugh and he smiled against the base of her neck.

Y/N’s eyes were still closed and her head was still thrown back against Bucky’s shoulder but she felt calmer, her muscles were less tense as she focused on Bucky’s fingers drawing circles on her waist.

Bucky heard the door shut and heard the muffled voices of Steve, Sam and, was that Wanda? He lifted his head and pressed his cheek against Y/N’s. He wasn’t sure how long they had been sat on the bathroom floor at this point, it could have been hours but to be honest he didn’t care, as long as she was okay.

“You good?” he whispered, she lifted her head from his shoulder but kept her cheek against his and nodded. “Good,” Bucky let out a sigh and made a move unwind his arms from her waist but she held his arms in place.

“Not yet,” she pleaded, eyes still closed. Bucky nodded tightening his grip again.

“‘M not going anywhere.”

Steve opened the door slowly and quietly and stepped into the bathroom to find Y/N sat between Bucky’s legs on the ground, Bucky was slowly rocking them side to side slightly and he looked up at Steve and nodded his head. Y/N didn’t take notice of Steve’s presence, she was almost asleep in Bucky’s arms.

Steve was slightly taken aback by what he found in the bathroom, they’d be gone for at least two hours and he was not prepared to find the two in such an intimate position but was ultimately glad that everyone was safe and okay, generally speaking.

“We got him,” he whispered before walking out again to leave the two alone.

Bucky, without thinking, pressed a gentle kiss to Y/N’s cheek, she hummed and shifted to curl further into him. “Told you I’d keep you safe doll.”

Ok, but babe, the way your mind works. I’ve been slowly binging your masterlist and I HAD to stop to tell you how much I enjoyed apricity. Like… to combine atla with Anastasia, which are two well loved stories, and you pulled it off SO WELL😘😘. I LOVED getting to see some of my favorite aspects of each story. And yoongi’s characterization here is so fitting for this piece. I love how he comes off a bit tsundere, and I am WEAK for him🥺🥺. The way he’s quietly kind and considerate and doesn’t expect to be praised for his actions???? Like the way he immediately offered his seat for the pregnant woman?? And always giving mc the best accommodations like the extra tent. And “don’t think of it as goodbye. Think of it as see you late, or until next time. It makes leaving easier.” The way he attempts to comfort her… SWOON. And I ADORED how you incorporated ot7 and co. Like tae and jin being air benders???? How fitting!! Jimin as a water bender using his bending for healing vs fighting?!! And jk being the avatar??? Hahaha of course our golden boy is the master of the elements!! It wasn’t explicitly said, but is joon yoongi’s bother?? 👀👀And I love how holly the fire ferret and yeontan the air bison (yip, yip!) also had appearances🤭🤭. Those introductions were so cleverly integrated into the story, and it all felt SO natural. The way you made the atla universe come to life in this piece was ✨stellar✨. Reading about the lotus inn, “all roads lead to ba sing se”, the train being powered by earth benders, the great divide, half moon bay, the water tribes conservative culture and sexiest traditions, the agni kai, the water tribe betrothal pendant, etc was sooooo wonderfully nostalgic!! I can tell you REALLLY PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND RESEARCH INTO THIS STORY AND I RESPECT THAT SO MUCH!!🤗🤗 But pls the way people keep referring to her as yoongi’s girlfriend had me cackling🤭🤭. And I couldn’t help but notice that yoongi NEVER ONCE corrects them when they incorrectly assume they’re a couple👀👀 hahaha I guess the unspoken tension wasn’t as low key as they thought haha I loved seeing his soft and quiet affection for her. “… you reach up to let your hand trail through the wispy white tendrils. ‘Pretty’, you remark. Yoongi’s gaze doesn’t leave you, not even for a second. ‘Yeah. Beautiful.’”😩😩 And when yoongi gets in that fight with Zhao… I KNEW IT. I just knew he was a fire bender… which to me seems so fitting??? But pls the way zhao refers to her as his “pretty little girlfriend” and yoongi doesn’t bother to correct him and just replies that she isn’t property. I loved reading sope’s backstory about how they left their lives of comfort and high rank. This story was a literal page tuner, I couldn’t get enough of it!! One of my favorite parts tho has to be during that cherry blossom festival and she’s just bought that water tribe dress and he’s in all black (my ultimate weakness how dare you🥵) and they’re sitting on the bench. He asks if she’s excited about going home, but she’s worried about how her family will react to her. “he looks like he wants to say something else, but his words face into silence and you don’t try to break it. Instead, you let your head fall against his shoulder, smiling when he tentatively wraps an arm around your waist.” And then the morning after when they are to arrive at the water tribe… I could feel the T E N S I O N. And then when yoongi gives her a new pendant he carved himself?! And the way she kisses him?! Soooo they’re basically engaged now right?! Hahahah thank you for sharing this story with us!! Sorry this got to be so long…. I hope you’re well, friend!! Sending you all my love 😘😘😘😘

BABE!!! 🥺🥺🥺 i was not? prepared? to see this in my inbox??? but i am so so grateful and appreciative and happy that you enjoyed apricity, THANK YOUUUU ILY!!! 🥰 i was super nervous about combining atla and anastasia for the exact reason you stated - they’re both so nostalgic and well-loved and richly developed already. but i’m so glad to hear that it came across well! the research really was no joke, hahaha 😅

i ADORED characterizing yoongi in this. i love tsundere!yoongi and i love firebender!yoongi, so combining those two concepts was a no brainer. it was super fun having them slowly start crushing on each other too, like OKAY YOONGI WE SEE YOU, YOU AIN’T THAT SUBTLE 🤣 

and ot7 (almost)! joon being yoongi’s brother is such a lovely theory and i love it, but joon is actually someone else, haha. sope mention a friend they have in omashu a couple times? that’s joon, lmao. 😂 lowkey i have another fic idea set in this verse that focuses on avatar!jk (dumb maknae being good at everything 🙄) and joon would be in that one quite a bit. but ANYWAY. 

i love reading about your thoughts on your favorite scenes! and the way you pick up on some of the little throwaway details, please 🥺 i love that scene at the festival too - it was really such a joy to visualize. yoongi in all black? check. beautiful scenery? check. a good cuddle? check! 😂 

and LOOK. yoongi kind of? knew what he was doing with that necklace? he does know A LOT about the water tribes, after all. but no rush! if things work out, they work out, and if that pendant winds up being an engagement pendant after all? well? ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL 😂

(pour one out for third-wheel hobi tho, amirite 🤣🤣🤣)
