#canon is fake and everyone is alive and okay

[blacklegsanjiii]

This might be long as fuck BUT I can't stop thinking at this AU I did with Fem!Sanji and good!124ji

Reiju and Sanji are twins in this AU, and 124ji are triplets and younger than canon. To explain, before the TS Reiju and Sanji are 19 and 124ji are 14, and after the girls are 21 and the boys 16. Sora still dies when Sanji is 6, but this time there are the triplets who are 1 year and something. Since Judge don't care about his kids and just makes servants care of them, both girls start to take care of their little brothers. After all, even if what killed Sora was the amount of poison she drinked during the triplets pregnancy to stop the experiments and still didn't work, Reiju and Sanji could never hate their boys.

They pratically raise them for some time, until Judge locks Sanji in the dungeon. Reiju can't stop crying, because her father told her that her twin sister died. But she tries her best to take care of the triplets, her sister and mother would want that.

Two years later, Sanji hears Judge talking about how these boys, even if strong, are too emotional just like their failure of a sister (Sanji), and about a experiment to turn them into real robots. Sanji panics, thinking about her now 3 years old little brothers turned into machines. She yells, so loud, and makes so much noise that Reiju hears. The pink haired princess is surprised and horrified, even more after hearing what Judge is planning.

They make a plan, and less than a week later, they act. Reiju steals two boats, alongside some things that they can sell. While Sanji, free from the dungeon and the helmet, takes 124ji and go at the second boat. Reiju sinks the first ship, faking the deaths of the five of them. And they set sail.

After that, Reiju and Sanji raise their brothers alone. Is it a good idea, letting two traumatized 8 years old raise three 3 years old? No, actually. But it's their only choice. They make it. The girls sell one item at a time to have berries and food. It's a small boat but it's comfy and safe for them.

They live this way during two years, until a storm where Sanji falls from the boat, and stops at the rock. She is panicking. But there's no option other than praying her siblings are alive and she will stay alive until help comes. She meets Zeff, who don't understand the way this kid is panicking until she tells that her and her twin sister have been raising their little brothers alone for two years.

Then they're saved be Dracule Mihawk, who is with her siblings. All the siblings are relieved to see Sanji. After this, Mihawk starts to take care about the kids and later on, 01234ji meet the Warlords Hancock, Jinbei, Crocodile and Doflamingo, who all the adults start to care about them like parents do.

Zeff keeps contact because he started to care for the eggplant and her siblings and tells about Baratie. Sanji wants to work there, truly, because her dream is become a chef and find the All Blue, but she don't say anything since she has to help Reiju with their brothers. But Reiju just... knows, she knows Sanji wants this, but her sister is as selfless as Sora was so she more their parents talk with her to tell that it's okay if she wants to go work there.

Sanji start to work at Baratie after this, with a lot of letter and calls and visits. Until when she's 19 and she meets this StrawHat boy and join his crew. Canon happens except that East Blue Polycule happens (before the TS). This is until after TimeSkip where a while after the crew meet at Sabaody and they're talking when Sanji mentions something about "having siblings" and the others are curious. So she tells about her twin sister, Reiju, and her young brothers, Ichiji, Niji and Yonji, that are just one year younger than Chopper.

At some point, Robin says that the maths doesn't make sense and then Sanji tells about her and her sister raising the triplets since the boys were 3. This surprise everyone because this means Sanji was 8 and raising her brothers. Then they just ask so much, that she talks about her bio father who is a abusive asshole and that both twins started to raise the boys after their mother's death when Sanji was 6 and 124ji were 1 year old.

It's shocking for everyone but also makes sense thinking about how much Sanji's "caring and protective older sister" insticts kick in when she's with Chopper.

WCI happens but after Judge talk shit about Sanji he asks about the "other failures" since they left too and Sanji don't answer. She don't want to do so. Then Wano and Jinbei, one of her adoptive fathers, is in the crew now. And she can't help herself but ask "how are my siblings doing?" without caring if all the crew is hearing and Jinbei answers "they're doing great, daughter!" with shocks everyone. The news that Sanji and her siblings were adopted by the Warlords (Boa, Mihawk, Jinbei, Crocodile and Doflamingo) when Sanji and Reiju were 10 and 124ji 5 years old comes after this.

And the crew can't help but find amusing how happy and soft Sanji look while hearing about her siblings, how Niji is better at the kicking fight style, how Ichiji seems to have more interest about swords everyday, how Yonji is liking to make clothes, how Reiju is even better at making poisons. It's clearly how she truly loves her siblings

Then, when the StrawHats make an alliance with the Cross Guild and go to Karai Barai, Sanji's partnes finally meet all of Sanji's parents and siblings.

The StrawHats really like the triplets and Reiju, and it's kinda easy to find some habits the boys get from Sanji after so much time of the twins raising them. It's also easy to see how much the triplets look up at the sisters in a "in between old sis/mom" way.

They also walk on a lot of moments between the siblings, like Sanji teaching Niji a strong kick, baking with Yonji, reading a book with Ichiji, letting Reiju do her hair. It makes them warm, specially Luffy, Usopp, Zoro and Nami.

Okay, that's a lot but it's so good. Let's get crackin' with the Warlord!Vinsmokes. Sounds like a total fucking shitshow on all ends tbh and Mihawk has to be going grey so fucking fast, he has streaks full on rogue streaks during most of this. Okay. Also noticed an issue with the math if 124ji are five years younger that makes them one year older than Chopper, hope it's okay I went with that?

Reiju and Sanji being twin girls, Reiju a success more so than her younger twin. While both have emotions it seems far more innate to Sanji than Reiju who seems to have learned from Sora and Sanji during her younger years before she was banned from seeing Sora. Then they are introduced to their little brothers when they are five: Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. They are named by what their powers were supposed to be hence them being out of order but it doesn't really matter, Sanji is deemed a failure either way. Especially after Sora dies and Sanji can't stop crying, she and Reiju have been taking care of their brothers since they were born basically. Sanji is six when she is thrown in the dungeon with her helmet and left to rot. Reiju is mourning her mother and her sister while trying to help raise her younger brothers and do as Judge orders. She is strung thing and wrapped around the triplets fingers. They don't know better, they're one, they don't know where their other sister is, don't really remember her. They do their best to comfort Reiju, which if you've ever been comforted by a toddler you know it's either the best or the worst, when she's crying.

Judge is wandering the dungeon discussing plans with some scientists when he mentions the boys, now three, are deemed failures like she is and the next experiment should fix that. Sanji screams, she's finding out she's been trapped for two years and their father plans to destroy the humanity of her baby brothers. It's loud and heart wrenching and earns her a beating from her father before he leaves. Reiju finds her later, eyes wide and filling with tears as Sanji cries at seeing her sister as well. The reunion is short and sad and Reiju is furious as she starts hatching a plan to get them out. When the plan is formed and prepped and arranged she gets Sanji and her brothers, Sanji and the triplets loaded into one boat and the other set off at the same time as Reiju makes it to her siblings and sinks the other one. They watch their home sink into the horizon as they leave and hold their brothers, who don't have memories of Sanji, ask Reiju who she is and what's going on. Reiju explains as best as she can to them, but they're three, they don't have the brain capacity to really understand exactly what's going on, just know they're going to be safe but it's going to be hard for a while. They travel for a while, selling jewelry to keep their boat in good condition and have food. It's going okay, surprisingly, for how young they are, they don't know if Judge is after them, can't find much in the papers and try not to think too hard about it. Then a storm hits and Sanji is thrown from the boat. They were near a pirate battle during the storm, could hear the cannons roar over the harsh winds and thunder.

Sanji wakes up on a rock with a geezer who is staring at her and she's staring back. He asks her about her dream and she remembers all the books she had servants bring her to the dungeon, the All Blue fresh in her mind and a good lie to avoid death by this old man of a pirate. He nods and tosses her the food bag and says he'll keep watch on the other side of the rock. Sanji rations her food out, she and Reiju used to rationing their shares to make sure the triplets could eat, now five as the eleven year old stares out over the sea and waits. Waiting for a boat, a few pass that can't see her or hear her. When she goes to find Zeff, crazed with hunger and finds the bag of treasure she starts sobbing and asking why. Why would he save her? Her? He answers they share the same dream. Sanji can't believe someone outside of her siblings would be kind to her, it's unrealistic in her eyes. When the next boat comes and Sanji is screaming, voice hoarse and dehydrated she thinks she's hallucinating when she sees the colorful heads below her with a man who is known to be extremely powerful on the seas. How they ended up with him is for later as they're saved. The five year olds piling on Sanji and demanding answers as Mihawk tends to Zeff and gets Reiju to set the sails and get them out of there. Mihawk helps Reiju when he's done so Reiju can check on her twin. Zeff is watching this all go down and asks Mihawk a few questions about how he got four brats, five now, technically. He answers there was a storm, likely the same one that put him and Sanji on the rock, where he found four kids crying and screaming in the rain for their sister as their boat filled with water and getting ready to capsize. So he fished them out and took them with him. Sanji is blinking at her siblings who are on top of her as Reiju scans over her sister and then holds her as well. Sanji is almost the same size as her siblings. With Zeff dropped off with a doctor and Sanji checked over and everything they thought confirmed, the five are taken with Mihawk to Kuriagana. Sanji is taken to Reiju's room, which only has one bed but that doesn't seem to bother the girls as Reiju pulls Sanji into her bed to sleep. Mihawk gets the boys settled as much as he can with the excitement of their sister joining them on the island. Sanji is jumpy because a powerful man is once again raising her and she flinches when he approaches too fast and quietly, when he raises a hand to her without making his intent known. Mihawk doesn't ask questions, just makes sure to announce his presence and ask her questions and if he can touch her. She recieves letters which she and Mihawk respond too, as he had seemed to grow fond of the blonde while they were on the rock and Sanji talked about cooking. He is getting ready to open a restaurant and has invited them to opening day. They go and 124ji enjoy the hustle and bustle of the establishment and it's fish shape as each of the now six year olds are paired with an elder to keep an eye on them. Sanji is particularly doted on by the staff and Zeff.

When Mihawk becomes a Warlord he wants to trust the five of them alone but he also knows Zeff will never let them to Baratie again if he does leave them on Kuriagana alone for an indeterminate amount of time so he takes them to the meetings with him, leaving them in the inn they're staying at for the first few until 124ji beg to come, they don't throw a fit but they can't go around town alone and the inn is boring and they're losing their minds. Father, please? So Mihawk relents and takes them as long as they promise to be quiet and behave because that means they get to leave sooner than later and go home. The triplets cheer as the twins giggle and they head off to the meeting. The other warlords stare at Mihawk and his children who come in and set up in the corner with coloring books. It goes fine for most of the meeting until the boys start fighting and Reiju and Sanji can't get them to calm down and so Mihawk excuses himself for a moment and goes and calms them down, and by that he takes Niji and Yonji back to the table with him, one under each arm as they're pouting. Crocodile asks him what the fuck he's doing and Mihawk explains his triplets begged to come and Mihawk let them if they behaved, they aren't behaving so their punishment is to sit at the table and listen to boring pirate topics. When Hancock asks about the girls Mihawk says they are utter darlings but he is trying to get them back into being children, it's a task. Jinbei nods and says that's part of his duties with the Sun Pirates and he is more than willing to help, as is Boa. Sir Crocodile keeps his mouth shut as Doflamingo takes one of the boys from his. Red eyes meet blue and Doflamingo asks where he even got the kids and Mihawk explains he fished Reiju and the triplets out of the ocean and found Sanji on a rock and it was pure coincidence to find their missing sister with Zeff on the rock, also the girls are twins despite the obvious size difference. Something happened and he hasn't pried. Once the meeting is finished and Mihawk is getting the kids ready to leave when four warlords approach and offer to take them to lunch which makes the boys cheer as Sanji hides behind Mihawk and Reiju stands guard. Hancock tries to get Sanji out from behind Mihawk but Croc tells her to stop scaring the kid. Mihawk asks the kids and the boys agree and Reiju nods her head wearily after making eye contact with Sanji. So they get lunch and Jinbei and Doffy play with the kids as Hancock asks what the girls are dressed in and says they need real clothes. Crocodile agrees all the kids need real clothes so now they're shopping much to Mihawk's dismay. The girls finally have some dresses and outfits that aren't for training, same with the boys. Mihawk sighs as he's told the kids are expected now, even by Crocodile. Jinbei and Hancock agree with the earlier assessment of the girls being utter darlings.

Over time they are entrusted to, or kidnapped by the other warlords when Mihawk has missions he needs to go on, when he doesn't have a choice in favor of his bounty being kept frozen so that he and the kids can still be peaceful more often than not. Baroque works loves the kids, Bon Clay still has the soft spot for dressing Sanji up but this time Reiju gets to join. Doflamingo has even more kids for the kids to play with and train with. Jinbei trains them in haki and meditation and starts them with fishman karate because it'd be a useful fighting style for them all to learn. Hancock tries to give them all extra education and teaches Sanji more kicks and martial arts that focus on legs specifically at Zeff and hers request. Easy enough to follow. Over time they all grow to adore the kids even more, they don't spoil them, heavens no. They are loved and adored though, spoiled with care from the five adults actively raising them and the man that is basically their grandfather who has Sanji helping at the restaurant until she's old enough to work there full time. She gets lots of calls, letters, visits from all of her family and it's vastly different from her time in Germa she sometimes doesn't believe it. Despite everyone telling her how proud they are and how loved she is. Mihawk, unknown for affection does place forehead kisses on her and Reiju on their eighteenth birthday with hugs to both of them, telling them how lucky he is they are his daughters. Especially with how much convincing it took from everyone to even get Sanji to take something for herself. Selfishness does not come easy to her, sure she wants things, wants experiences but she's always taking a backseat to her siblings, to her brothers and Reiju who are also telling her it's okay, that they're glad she's working and happy there. It's all they've wanted for her. She still doesn't take, she's smoking much to everyone's displeasure but at least she has a vice they suppose.

When Luffy destroys the Baratie and her father is visiting and lets some green haired guy live and leaves without so much as word to her and she joins the crew. Everything goes as canon for a while, just Sanji's a girl and it's known and she starts dating the other members of the crew before they hit the Grand Line. Does she break her back on Drum? Yes. Does anyone really know this? Nope, it's really just Chopper. She fights hard and is strong willed and it was her parents pride with how strong willed she and her siblings are to survive what they have. Then Sabaody happens and Zoro is transported to Kuriagana and looks at a pinkhaired Sanji and Ghost Girl staring at him as Mihawk is preparing to leave and tells the girls to take care of him. When he comes to he looks at Pink Sanji and asks when she changed her hair, he liked the blonde better and Perona and Reiju laugh at him thinking she's Sanji. They leave him be and Reiju leaves Kuriagana to stay out of the way.

When the crew gets back together Sanji makes an offhanded comment about siblings and Zoro mentions seeing a pinkhaired her on Kuriagana and Sanji laughs and mentions her sister and that's probably who he saw. When Zoro asks why she would be there Sanji just shrugs and says she doesn't know why she was there, she thought Reiju would be with their brothers. Robin asks how old her brothers are and Sanji mentions they'd be sixteen, that she and her twin sister raised them since the boys were one until she was forced to be absent due to some extenuating circumstances until the boys were three and they were reunited and on their own fully, two eight year olds sailing and raising three three year olds and everyone immediately shows concern, especially because her siblings were not at the Baratie with her. Sanji just smiles and doesn't let out who her parents are but it makes a lot of sense why she's fairly protective of Chopper, who's just a year younger than her brothers. Everyone is concerned about what's she said and the way she shrugs off what's happened to her. She's just happy to be with her partners again as she, Nami, Usopp, Luffy, and Zoro go to the captain's quarters to sleep and cuddle and be together again, they've all changed, but they're still them. Even after what's happened, even if Ace lived thanks to several warlords. One of which they see on Fishman Island and he seems close to both Luffy and Sanji for different reasons, the touches fatherly to both of them but one far more comfortable to the blonde than the straw hat.

When Sanji sacrifices herself for her partners and crew and deals with Germa alone for the most part, taking beatings from Judge at her arrogance for being alive. Sanji stares at the girl she's supposed to marry, the same age as her brother's which is kind of gross. She doesn't like the whole situation that's going on, even after she beats Luffy and tries to leave the crew twice over her time there and fights against and with Germa at separate points she sees one of her fathers coming to help the escape. Nami and Luffy hold her once they're relatively safe and headed to Wano, even as Judge lays into her for her brothers and sister being failures with her, asking if they're dead. Which they're not and she says so, but he'll have to work to get to them and it won't be easy. He'll lose if he tries. Judge glares as he leaves her with her partners and crew and she's so exhausted as she's closed in on. When they reach Wano and everyone is reunited Jinbei scolds Sanji lightly that this is not how they raised her. Sanji laughs and asks how her siblings are and Jinbei laughs and tells her they are well, that they are with one of her other parents as he's lost track of who is where and what is going on with them all. Luffy asks what that means and Jinbei raises a curious eyebrow as Law comments he thought she was raised by that one old guy in the East Blue with a fish shaped restaurant. Sanji says that's her grandfather but she and her siblings were raised by five of the seven warlords of the sea and she's helped take down two of them because it's funny and would make them proud. Robin realizes she's the triplets older sister and she's the Sanji Crocodile had talked about and how he was raising five brats with four of the other warlords including Doflamingo. So Robin asks why Doflamingo still tried to kill her and she answers it was more of a test against her and the crew. Sanji is of course waving this all off because she was raised by the man and it was far better than Judge and Germa and her parents were decent for who they are. Zoro confirms Mihawk is one and Jinbei has already confessed to being one and the last one is Hancock who Luffy complains about her being obsessed with him despite him dating four people. When Jinbei asks which four and Luffy names the East Blue crew, he just nods and says he approves but that is up to Sanji's other parents and her siblings to be responsible for shovel talks, he will not partake. Wano goes well luckily, even with the raid suit she discovers was slipped in somewhere enacting her modifications she didn't know she had. When it's all said and done and she's supposed to be injured like the other two thirds of the trio but isn't she just feels slightly despondent. She covers it well as they celebrate and party and she does what she does best which is cook and care for others.

When the head to Karai Bari for an alliance with the Cross Guild despite Nami, Luffy, and Zoro's hatred for the clown and Croc, which she gets whole heartedly after becoming friends with Vivi but she's just so excited to see her family again on friendly terms and see her brothers. She's so fucking pumped as they make landfall and the triplets welcome them to the Cross Guild as they crowd her once they're on solid land and Mihawk is also there to greet them with a soft smile on his face as she tells him the cat's out of the bag, and they all know he's one of her dads. He rolls his eyes as he pulls her into a hug and says it's good to see her alive and well and that with Jinbei here the whole family is there. The boys are cheering as they act more like twelve-year-olds than sixteen-year-olds like they should be. Especially for children of the Warlords and Sanji is just smiling and listening to their stories as Niji complains no one is teaching him like they taught her and she says he needs to ask Mama not their dads about kicks. Besides he was taught Fishman Karate too, and while she doesn't use the actual martial art of it she does incorporate it into her repertoire but she will spend time with him to train as Jinbei leans into Mihawk and whisper some things to him which makes him frown heavily and flick his eyes to the crew as they find Buggy and the other former Warlords.

Are the East Blue crew given a multitude of shove talks? Yes. Do they mind? Yes, except for Luffy who laughs at them all. Sanji spends a lot of time with her siblings and parents and the crew notices habits she's picked up from them and what her brothers have picked up from her. Niji likes to fight with her style, Yonji likes to cook like her but doesn't want to make it a whole career like she does, just likes to use it like its science which in a way is right but she watches in horror sometimes at what he's doing. Ichiji seems to be coming up in a very military way because he wants to help protect those he cares for especially after what happened to Amazon Lily and everything. Sanji says that's understandable and Ichiji asks what it was like seeing their birth father again and Sanji says it wasn't great. Says it was a lot like growing up there and Ichiji frowns because he and their brothers don't remember and Sanji says that's good, that was her and Reiju's goal but Ichiji points out she has to deal with it. Sanji just ruffles his hair and leaves it at that. She lets Reiju dress her up and do her hair. Compared to what the rescue team saw and heard this is a complete 180, which they're thankful for, because they see people pushing Sanji to be selfish just like they have.

I know the idea of Metal sneaking around in an organic disguise and ending up finding some joys in life through it isn’t the most original idea but MAN it sure it one that keeps me up at night (right now)

Like it’s such a simple idea on base level but there’s so much you can do with it

Like, okay we’ll go with IDW canon for this hypothetical

She gets this disguise and sneaks into the resistance, tries to avoid the main crew as much as she can but low and behold Amy mistakes her for Sonic and boom hug! Can’t fault Amy much tho, they legit look alike! Shit, she’s asking for a name, now Metal needs to think of a fake name! She looks around, what could she use!? Shit uhhh “Sky!”

Dumb. That’s dumb. Amy doesn’t question it though, and nor the looking around, odd. What’s she offering!? A tour!? Oh no! Wait- no. Oh yes! Secrets!

Drats, she doesn’t actually show Metal any secrets because that mf is new here. Now she’s just meeting a bunch of people she doesn’t care about! Damn, if she could feel pain that fake smile would be hurting right about now.

What’s this? Meet Belle? Meet Belle!? BELLE!? OH NOOOO. Nope she’s gotta go! But what’s this!? Gasp, Amy seems oddly insistent that “Sky” meets Belle before she goes. This is bad, Belle will definitely recognize her, they’re linked! She’ll see right through the lie-! What-? Belle isn’t calling anything out,, is the disguise blocking stuff out?

Ha! Of course! Eggman is a genius, how could he overlook something so obvious? Silly Metal, how did you ever doubt him!?

Still, something feels..wrong….feels..wrong…weird…Pft. God forbid a gal have some intuition! Nothing weird about it! Just, get out of there as soon as possible!

Pausing the flow here because the more I write this the more I wanna legit turn it into a full fic bUT there’s legit so much you can do with it

Metal having for force herself to be civil with Sonic to not blow cover

Meeting characters she usually never would, especially in a casual setting like this

Meeting other robots!! Like imagine her having to talk with Omega or Gemerl!! That would be so fucking funny man

Seeing nature without having to destroy it and wondering so many things. Why is this stuff useful? Why is,, destroying it useful?

Going off that one hc I saw a bit ago, goofy hijinks, she thinks normal ass machines are alive too and talks to them and everyone thinks she’s crazy

Predicable coming from me but gender realizations???

Like come on!! Ik it’s used a lot but damnit the disguise plotline is used a lot for a reason and I think it’s really fun

✨Official Disclaimer/FAQ Master Post✨

I'm going to be pinning this one, just in case anyone has questions or hopefully make some things easier to find! Will also add things as I need to.

Questions Regarding Timelines or “Canon”

I don't have an exact timeline in my head for this blog. In my imagination, Eridan and the other trolls are just alive again and in the present, and all the previous storylines still exist within it. The difference is that it takes place after the comic, so everyone is an adult just going along for the ride lol I guess that's what I'm going for 🤷‍♀️

I apologize if I stray away from the "canon"... I try to stay as true to the characters and their dynamics as I can. But sometimes it's just fun to be a bit silly and go off book for the sake of adding some humor. Also….it is an ask blog of a character that died pretty early on and did not get much in the “character development” department lol So again, I do my best to write him as “canon” to his true attitude and behavior as I can. But it can get very hard to give nuance to a guy who overall was pretty shitty, didn’t have much dialogue in the first place while also giving him a fake timeline that takes place a couple years down the line and allow him to have a crumb of self improvement without it coming off as too ooc. So if you see behavior that you don't think is accurate to him…..i promise I do my best…….i have google docs and PowerPoints on this guy lol so I promise the brain rot runs deep

Why I Haven’t Answered Your Question

If you notice that I have not answered your question there are multiple factors.

I couldn’t come up with decent enough dialogue that I felt was good enough to respond with. I am extremely stubborn

I work a full time job and just couldn’t find the time to :(

It was a very strange question and I have no idea what to say lol usually sexual, creepy, violent etc

I have gotten multiple of the same question and I am currently working on a reply.

I waited too long and I feel too bad to respond now ❤️

I can tell if you are spamming me with the same question even if you are anonymous lol And I'm sorry but I won't answer those lol

My inbox is actually insane at times and I genuinely can’t get to everyone :(

I promise I read every single question and I appreciate all of them!! Even the creepy ones.

But I am one person running this blog on my own time with a full time job with only so much time during the day 😔 I also have rampant adhd that can make it very hard to complete certain things

“Will I be making more content of Eridan and *insert character*”

I try to avoid having strict shipping content on here. I don't want this blog to become limited in my responses because I inadvertently turned it into a shipping blog. I do enjoy dropping hints, but for the most part, I prefer to keep things open so that I don't unintentionally limit myself. I also don't want fans who ship other things to feel like they can't ask questions about different characters or scenarios.

I do not have any “headcannons” that I am against or a ride or die for…but….please do not send me any Cronus and Eridan shipping questions. It is very yucky to me. I outright ignore the ministrife….i pretend to not see it 🥰

Am I An Eridan “Defender”?

No lmao

I’m not gonna write down my whole pathetic analysis on him. But I’m not gonna be here at my old age defending a fictional fish guy who boasted about the aspects of eugenics and harass people who disagree?? What is this?? 2013? lol

If you hate him and think he is awful. That is 100000% A-okay! You are allowed to! And I understand lmao

If you ever want to actually talk about Eridan openly, and discuss him as a character or anything. Just dm me! :)

Also just a reminder to clarify that my writing for Eridan does not necessarily reflect my personal feelings. If you ask “Eridan” about certain characters and my response seems mean or nasty, please note that it doesn't mean I dislike the ship or character. Eridan is not particularly friendly, even towards people he likes, so I try not to insert too much of my own feelings into his responses.

(Erisol, EriRox, eridan and literally everybody lmao….except maybe Karkat…..thats his bro…)

Tags

All of my Eridan responses will always be tagged under my url “askthisfishprince”

Any questions directed at me that I post responses for will be under

How To View The Post Properly

Whenever I make a response, I try to keep things as clear as possible! Any text in the description or in the tags that does NOT have (()) around it, means thats Eridan talking.

Anything besides that is ✨me✨ lol

Always check the tags for extra dialogue! :) and also always check for “read more” because sometimes I add extra silly doodles lol

Also sometimes I give my two cents as to why I did something a certain way in the tags. So if you care to hear me Yap, check the tags.

Also if you ever want to send an ask to me, either state in the ask that its for op or just put (()) around it! :)

I know you've technically done one before but...

ShigaDabi soulmate AU?

Technically I have not done a ShigaDabi AU because the last one had a fried chicken in the mix!

Okay so let's do a different common Soulmate AU trope, let's do the more traditional 'everyone is born with their soulmate's mark on their skin' and it's only romantic, and the only people born without them are people who are aromantic or people who are unlucky enough to not have a soulmate in the entire world. Marrying outside of your soulmate is considered a faux pas, but Endeavor does it anyway to breed stronger quirks.

That's why when Toya is born without a soulmark, everyone just thinks that he's being punished by fate for his father's actions. And then he also burns to death at 12 which is even worse. He wakes up from his coma with skin grafts as usual, but there's a faint mark on his arm of a four-fingered handprint over one of his hips, but it's not very clear, and it's genuinely possible that it's just a weird cluster of scar tissue.

Same progress as usual for canon until he eventually joins the League and meets Shigaraki who also was born without a soulmark. They don't really talk about that much and they don't get along great, and generally don't really hand out much.

And then the MLA happens and Shigaraki is like 'born', quirk awakens, he knows who he is beyond what his teacher told him, and his soulmate is also alive unlike when he was actually born. So he's standing, leg broken, blood running down his face, fingers crushed, and everyone sees as a bright blue soulmark of very distinctive staples wrap around his chest and back.

Dabi and Shig then have to navigate what it means for them to be soulmates when they could barely stand each other a week ago, all while trying to maintain their public image (because if marrying outside of your soulbond is a faux pas, than mistreating your soulmate is something so heinous even AFO wouldn't have done it, yes this is a Fake Dating/Soulmates AU, you got a two for one!)

So this is gonna be entirely too much info but like. I've fallen into reading your reader x Izzy fics and I LOVE them! I've been going through a hard time with it getting to Christmas and having no family, and the Izzy fics just make me feel lighter. So mostly just thank you thank you thank you!

Now the cheeky bit - is there any way we could get a Male reader x Izzy with a pride and prejudice element. My friend said something about Con O'Neil as Mr Darcy and I damn near swooned. Either like a Colin Firth wet white shirt scene or like anything like the Matthew Macfayden Darcy (The hands! The sopping wet pathetic man!)

If not, that's more than okay! I still love your work so much! And again, thank you so much for it!

Hi, anon! First of all, I completely understand how rough the holidays can be, especially without family around. My heart is truly with you during these times and I hope you can still find joy, peace, and love this winter. If you ever need anything, I am always in your corner. I know I'm just a random writer on Tumblr but I truly do care for you, each and every one of you, for that matter! I'm happy I could even bring you a sliver of joy with my work. Thank you endlessly for reading, and I am sending an abundance of my love your way <3 feel free to message me if you'd like, I'd love to be your friend! My messages are always open, everyone! But if not, that's okay too. I'm just happy to share this with you!

Anyhow, I absolutely lit up at this request—I love Pride & Prejudice! OFMD and P&P intertwining is honestly heavenly, I got so excited to write this that I put a pin on another x reader I was writing (never fear! You will all get this one by the end of the week if finals don't absolutely drain me!). This one is reminiscent of Pride & Prejudice and the vibes it emits, but more so, my own spin on it, as well as twists and turns. Like, Izzy honestly exhibits more of a Lizzie in this one but it's also very clear his actions parallel Darcy. I really, truly hope you enjoy this nonetheless!

Lastly, speaking of the holidays, I'm thinking of writing some holiday headcanons for Izzy or a few x readers regarding the holidays with Izzy! So stay tuned for that! Thank you everyone for your everlasting kind words, understanding, patience, and encouragement with my slight delay with writing in the past week.

My Gem | Izzy x Male Reader

Warnings: slight angst, some strong language, slight enemies to lovers, not so in depth research of 1700's aristocracy (even though I'm a damn dramaturg, but we'll look past that for now), made up my first non-canon canon character because just referring to her as "she" felt inhumane, brief mentions of fake suicide note, kissing

Word count: 2324

Thoughts of the first mate of The Revenge were absolutely consuming you. Devouring you alive, plaguing you—you truly couldn't get him out of your head no matter how hard you tried. Oh, yes, you tried. But there was no use. Daydreams would always swirl in your mind and they would only increase tenfold throughout the course of your days.

You were grateful that you at least didn't have to carry the burden of breathing the same air as Israel Hands anymore. You would even collapse being within ten feet of him, let alone seeing him every single day. Your chest ached even at the mere thought of the man.

To say you were confused by his last actions toward you was an understatement. Confused, embarrassed, miserable, even flattered...You couldn't get Izzy Hands out of your head. You couldn't get his hands out of your head...

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

"So you really are doing this, then."

"Yes," you nodded. "I am. I don't belong here—"

"You are a damn great pirate," Izzy almost seethed. "I'll be damned if I believe you really want to go back to that...lavish lifestyle."

You looked slightly frantically behind you in hopes that no one heard Izzy's dig at what was about to be your life again. You hesitantly looked back at Izzy, almost biting your lip in disbelief. "I just need to do this."

"Really? That's all you have to say?"

"What—what else am I supposed to say?"

Silence loomed between the two of you. He nervously fidgeted with the coat that Stede had lent him to disguise himself as an aristocrat. He couldn't wait to toss it back into Bonnet's arms, but he needed this in order to see you off safely, without any suspicions of what you had been up to in your absence from the life you were born into. He knew full well that you were making a mistake, but that you couldn't be convinced of this. His chest ached upon realizing that you wouldn't change your mind, that he wouldn't be able to change your mind.

"Goodbye, Israel."

Instead of responding, Izzy carefully intertwined his fingers with yours as you were about to step up into the carriage. You froze, yet began to melt into his touch, his warmth. You finally met his eyes just as he let go of you, and before you knew it, you were riding off into the distance, Izzy becoming a small speck fading from your sight. Before he began to fade out of view, you caught a glimpse of him flexing his hand by his side as he watched you depart.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

You scoffed as the yellow carnation was pinned to your coat.

"Is something wrong, sir?" one of your dressers inquired, concern washing over his expression.

You almost laughed at such a question, thinking back to all of the late nights you spent studying flowers and their meanings, dying to tell him how this marriage was going to be doomed if you had to wear a yellow carnation. At the last minute, you decided against it, holding your tongue. "Everything is perfect. Thank you."

He nodded, exiting the room as soon as he finished dressing you. You turned toward the mirror, a frown falling onto your lips upon seeing your reflection. You had never dreaded a coming day like you dreaded tomorrow. Before you could internally lament further, a rhythmic knock was heard from your door. Genevieve—future wife. How delightful. It's not like you dreaded it every time she walked into a room, let alone walked over to your side, and it's not like you could tell she dreaded you all the same.

"Yes. Come in," you sighed, plopping down onto your bed. Only, it wouldn't be your bed anymore—you would share it with her, come tomorrow. Your solitude would be interrupted and put on pause forever.

Genevieve quickly rushed in, making sure to shut and lock the door behind her. She fixed her hair a bit as she did so.

"What is it that you want?" you demanded softly, your brows furrowing.

"Hello to you too," she rolled her eyes. "I'm not looking forward to tomorrow—"

"That makes two of us, Genevieve! Finally, something we can agree upon," you laughed, falling backwards onto the bed.

"Will you let me finish?" she crossed her arms without realizing it. Once she had in fact realized, an expression of guilt overcame her as she untwisted herself. A guilt you had never once seen her bear. You sent an apologetic look her way. "I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, nor the rest of our lives together, but I just wanted to say that you are lovely. I don't hate you. I just hate this."

"I don't hate you either," you sat up carefully, your head sort of spinning as you did so. "Far from it. This is just an...unfortunate situation we've found ourselves in."

"Yes," she agreed, carefully placing herself beside you on the edge of the bed. "You know, I would love you, if you were...there's no way to dance around this. I would love you if you were not a man."

"Oh!" you realized, looking over at her, relief crashing over you. "And I would probably love you if you were not a woman, quite honestly."

Genevieve gasped in delight, wrapping her arms around you as she laughed happily. You couldn't help but smile upon her embrace.

"Who is the lucky woman?" you playfully smiled, nudging her shoulder. You watched intently as you watched the pigment of her face turn rosy.

"Well...we've known each other since we were babies," she sighed happily. "But our families have been dear friends since before we were even conceived. It would never work out."

"Take "never" out of your vocabulary this instant!" you exclaimed, shooting up off the bed and onto your two feet.

"What are you planning?" Genevieve tilted her head.

You rushed over to your desk, filing through all that had piled atop it until you found a quill, some ink, and some parchment.

"We can't say you've run away—no, that would give hope that you're still alive and then you would be seeing wanted posters with your face plastered across trees anywhere you go," you sighed. "No. We'll fake your death instead. And you'll run away tonight."

Genevieve bit her lip concernedly. "Are you sure this will work?"

"I'm certain," you assured her. "Are you able to communicate this plan to your love before midnight?"

"Yes, she is coming to the rehearsal dinner tonight and I'm sure we'll sneak off to the gardens," she nodded.

"Wait—is that why you and Alice go there every time—"

Genevieve's hands flew up to her face, covering it as she giggled.

"My goodness!" you couldn't help but share the laughter. "Wow. I am not surprised, honestly."

"What about you?"

"Have I ever snuck off to a garden to—"

"No!" Genevieve rolled her eyes playfully. "Do you love another?"

"I..." you sighed. "Well, it's complicated."

"I've got time."

"I'm kind of upset with him at the moment. And I'm not sure how he feels about me. And I didn't realize I love him until after I left—"

"One thing at a time!" Genevieve tilted her head back to laugh. She place a hand on your shoulder. "Why does he have you upset?

"He held my hand before I left." you admitted, staring out the window as you spoke. Most days, you would have the curtains closed in order to mask the view of the ocean, as it would only bring you feelings of sorrow and regret.

"And you really question how he feels for you?!"

"Well, he's not like us," you frowned. "Believe me, I'm glad he's not. Though I just don't think he understands what a touch of the hand means to someone like me."

"You may come from different worlds with different values and rules, but holding hands is still an expression of affection wherever you come from," Genevieve pointed out.

"He did wear a fancy ensemble just to see me off safely..."

Once again, Genevieve's laughter filled the room. "You are blind!"

"It's just hard to tell with him!" you protested, laughing along with her. "He's hard to read. He's...very easily irritated."

"Is he like that when he's with you?"

"Less so, but yes," you shrugged. "He is a complicated man."

"But his feelings for you are apparent."

"My god, I need to go!"

"Yes, you do!" she encouraged you, patting you on the back.

"I can't right away. I have to get in contact with someone first, and if both you and I are found missing or dead by morning, it's going to be terribly suspicious—"

"You will find a way. I know it," she assured you. "Let's go and oversee the menu for tonight. I'm starved."

You laughed as she jokingly linked arms with you, leading you out into what you were about to leave behind once again.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

All had gone according to plan—you saw Genevieve and Alice off safely, and falsely mourned your fiancée the next day, and for only a few days after before Stede caught wind of your message. As soon as he had, you scurried to the beach, only bothering to bring a few possessions with you. You hadn't even bothered to leave a note—nothing attached you to the aristocratic life anymore. For good this time.

"Captain!" you exclaimed, almost out of breath. "Thank you. I'm so, so sorry."

"No need to apologize to me," Stede assured you warmly. "Believe me, I get it."

"I wish you warned me—"

"Oh, you wouldn't have listened," he teased. "I do regret having done the same thing you had, but if I hadn't, I never would have gotten closure with Mary and bade farewell to that side of me fully. You had to do the same."

"And you and Blackbeard—he forgave you?"

"We're working on it," Stede laughed. "He has, mostly."

"Do you think Izzy will ever forgive me? How is he?"

"Go see for yourself," Stede suggested kindly. "He's on watch tonight. I'll be in my quarters should you need anything at all."

Before you could thank him again, he vanished into the darkness. You smiled, though you could have swore your heart stopped upon the sight of Izzy Hands. You almost choked on the breath you had taken before gaining the courage to waltz over to him. Before you knew it, you were beside him once again. Izzy jumped upon sensing your presence.

"Jesus fuck," Izzy mumbled.

"Hello to you too."

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Oh, Izzy, I'm happy to see you too!"

"I'm serious—what the fuck? You just up and leave and then you're back. Is this some sort of pattern? How long will your stay be this time, perhaps only a day, maybe two—"

Without much thought, you found your fingers laced between his once again. Izzy's train of thought stopped in its tracks and all he could focus on now was the feeling of warmth that had been yanked away from him ever since you left, and that now, it had been restored. A warmth he thought he would never get to experience again, nor experience at all. Whenever he spent countless days and hours reminiscing upon it, he scolded himself, convincing himself that he should be grateful he got to feel that at least once in his life. It was one more time than he ever expected he would feel it. It should have been enough, but it wasn't even close. His heart began beating out of his chest—what was this feeling he couldn't quite place? He knew it all too well and he was tired of pushing it down to drown. Eventually, you softly removed your hand, and you noticed Izzy's hand flex by his side once again.

"Did it mean something to you? When you held my hand before I left."

"I was giving you a boost onto your ride," he shrugged it off, turning away in hopes that the darkness would hide his smile.

"Right," you laughed. "Izzy, seriously. I have been going crazy. Every single day, wondering if you ever understood what such a gesture meant to me or if it meant absolutely nothing to you."

"Of course it meant something to me, dammit," Izzy sighed. "You are such a fool if you thought for a second that it didn't."

You laughed breathlessly, relief overcoming you instantly as you pressed your forehead against his. The way the moonlight shone upon his face made him even more breathtaking, even more earth-shatteringly beautiful. You couldn't believe what your eyes were allowing you to see, and you couldn't believe how warm you'd felt. You almost swore you'd never shiver once again. Your lips softly grazed his forehead before you pressed another kiss upon his cheek, before resting your forehead against his once again, your eyes fluttering shut, butterflies flying around in your stomach as you reached for his hands once again.

"Mark my words. I will never, ever leave again—"

"Shh," Izzy gently whispered against your lips. "We can talk about it later."

"Later," you nodded gently as finally, your lips collided. Your heart did pirouettes as your lips danced against one another's. In the darkness of your vision, you caught a glimpse of your future aboard The Revenge, with Izzy. You had never seen so clearly, until now, that you had finally found the place you were meant to be after denying it for so long. You had found your family and your lover, and they were all gathered in the same place. This was a luxury that would always beat the fancy balls you attended, the gold-laced coats you wore upon your back, the gems you were gifted often. Izzy was your gem, and he made your life shine brighter than it ever had.

I just thought of something else for the AU from my last post.

If Anne gets tired of Amphibia, eventually, she’ll let the original story play out, then she’ll cross the portal with Sasha and Marcy, saying goodbye to Amphibia. Once she discovers there’s a story beyond the story, she’s almost delighted, and she continues to live through life, even when Marcy moves away and she and Sasha start to drift apart. It’s something new, and it’s exciting. The only downside is that she has to go back to school. 🤮

This next part though… it happens a few years down the line. Either as an adult, or late teens, but someway, somehow, somewhere, Anne finally comes clean—telling Sasha and Marcy that she’s a God, and that she’s been reliving the same memories again and again. Some good, some bad. I don’t know how Sasha and Marcy react to it, but it rubs off on Anne negatively, and she nearly breaks the world again, but Sasha and Marcy tackle her before she can, telling her to stop.

Somehow, they get Anne to calm down, and they tell Anne that…. They’ve known the entire time. Anne may remember it all, but Sasha and Marcy know snippets of what happened each time because of their connections to the gems, remembering when Anne opened that box and they landed in their respective areas. They were actually relieved when Anne didn’t erase this world when their adventure was over in Amphibia.

(They were still driven by their motivations, like, Marcy wanted to stay and Amphibia with her friends, and still makes a deal with Andrias and stuff. Sasha still tries to take over Newtopia, blah blah blah. It’d be funny, but even The Core remembers because Marcy remembers. They see their death over and over again, but they don’t know how to stop it, and they can’t comprehend it either, so they’re extremely cautious around Anne. The idea of killing her is more compelling than it was in the canon. But it’s not like a fake God can kill a God.)

Anne feels extremely guilty and apologizes a bunch, explaining that she accepted the role of Guardian, not thinking about how mortal lives end. And when she saw Sasha die, she realized just how much she wanted them to stay alive, and the only way of doing that was making sure they were young forever. Even if it meant playing the same game over and over.

This can end really good, or really bad.

Marcy and Sasha encourage Anne to continue living this life and leave the space time continuum alone. It was okay if they died because that’s how life is, and Anne would still have those good memories during the rest of her godhood. Anne will either accept these words, and let live continue. Watching as everyone around her slowly grows old and dies…

Or, she’ll go behind their back and erase this world again. Right back into the loop!!!

you love me?

summary : matt is scared of fucking up his first valentine’s day with jess!— #jessmatt post-canon until dawn! jess has a sister #tw mentions of death, abuse, alcoholism, body dysmorphia, slight nudity, mentions of weed.

• cross posted on ao3!!

matthew taylor rung the riley family’s doorbell holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a gift bag holding a jewelry box with a valentines day card in the other. he waited a beat until he heard footsteps on the other side of the door. jessica’s mother, joan, opened the door for him. “aww are these for my little goldy locs?” she cooed before giving matt a hug. “how are you sweetheart?” she asked, taking the bouquet into her own hands and leading him to the kitchen to grab a vase. their house was ginormous compared to his, granted they had another daughter in college and a guest bedroom. so it made sense considering matt is an only child, his own house seemed huge to others as well, but jess’ house blew his mind every time he stepped inside.

“i’m doing alright mrs. riley.” he smiled politely.

“jeez, don’t make me feel older than i already am matthew! please, call me joan.” she laughed in fake offense.

jess was a lot like her mother, at least the good parts. jess’ “bitch side” came from the trauma of her abusive, now deceased father. he was a drunk, but jess still loved him. everyone went to support jess at his service back in seventh grade, bringing their own families with them. jess didn’t cry until it was just her and emily by his grave. everyone knew after chris asked where the pair were located, sam found them, but her and chris convinced everyone to not bother them, and causing everyone to agree simultaneously out of respect.

anyways, back to the present.

“sorry, joan, i’m just nervous.. do you think she’ll like the flowers?” matt said nervously.

“they look expensive, so i’d say so!” she smiled, “plus it came from you matthew, she cares about you deeply. she’ll love them no matter what.” she put her hand on his shoulder. he put his own on hers before saying a quiet thank you.

“okay! let’s get these bad boys in some water!” she removed her hand and scanned her cabinets for the perfect vase, “do you want red, white or pink?”

“pink would be excellent mrs-“ she raised an eyebrow at him, “joan” he smiled, feeling his nerves lessen as he scratched the back of his neck smiling. he always felt welcomed in the riley household. anna-marie always made sex jokes towards the couple to embarrass jess, but she genuinely respected matt enough to smoke her weed outside so he wouldn’t smell like it the next day at practice, so he wouldn’t have smell like it and feel the embarrassment of getting drug tested as an athlete. joan was kind and when she found out matt was the reason jess made it out alive that night.. let’s just say he’s been invited to many family dinners, even with mike in the picture.

he often declined politely back then, respectfully saying it was mainly mike that saved her.

jess dumped mike for matt ironically, just after emily and matt broke up. mike respected her decision and is now a single man that was very obviously into sam now. mike’s a romantic, even though he was a player, so the pressure was on considering it was his and jess’ first valentine’s day together so it had to be perfect.

joan found a curvy, soft pink glass vase and put it on the kitchen counter after filling it about ⅓ of the way with water. she picked up the flowers she took from matt earlier and put them in the vase before saying, “don’t overthink it. i can see the nervousness in your eyes,” smiled, “now, she’s upstairs.. and you look quite dapper matthew. she’ll blush like a schoolgirl.”

she waved him off and he headed up the stairs with the gift bag in his hand. he quietly muttered to himself “she’s gonna love it.”

her door was slightly cracked open.

“jess? you ready?” matt asked from the other side.

the door opened fully and matt was met with jessica in just her bra and panties. matt blushed immediately and started to look away out of respect. until jess grabbed him by the side of his face, pulling him in for a soft kiss.

“hi prince charming. you’ve seen more than this before, don’t act stupid now.” she said now lightly patting his face, “come in!”

“yeah, right, sorry. it’s just, you look more and more beautiful every time. it feels like the first time no matter the situation.” he said as he walked into her primarily pink room. she had a speaker playing ‘i wanna be loved by you’ by marilyn monroe. he put the gift bag on her vanity.

she blushed before pushing matt lightly onto the bed. she stood in front of matt for a second before looking in the mirror.

she scrunched up her face, “ i don’t see it. not anymore.”

matt grabbed her waist.

“look at me, you are the most gorgeous woman i have ever seen in my life. i’m lucky i even got a chance with you.” he said wholeheartedly.

she blushed again, she crossed her arms, “thank you, you dork. i know you hate when i talk bad about myself, but i can’t help it.” she said, brushing his face with the back of her hand.

“i understand, but your ‘flaws’ are so fucking beautiful jess.”

jessica decided she wanted to cuddle before they went out. so she told matt she wanted to lay down briefly. he obliged and they enjoyed each other’s body heat for an unknown period of time.

“i’m glad my sisters at a party, because if she walked in on this she would’ve ruined the moment.” jess whispered as she played with the collar on matts button up.

“yeah, she goes overboard sometimes.” matt chuckled softly.

“let me finish getting ready and then we can go.” jess smiled, before she pryed herself out of matts hold.

he sat up.

“you mean after you get ready and open your gift.” he smiled.

“oh yeah,” she laughed, “the gift before.. the gift.” she winked causing matt to laugh at her antics.

she turned around and pulled a wrapped box out of her closet.

“i got this for you.” she said softly. it was a big fucking box so matt just stared in awe for a second before eventually getting out an, “are you sure?”

jess just laughed and put the box in front of him on her bed. “open it, you’ll love it.” she looked at him in anticipation.

he undid the pink bow and opened up the box and was met with a variety of things, including a jacket saying, “i love my girlfriend!” with a picture of jess in the heart. he laughed at that, “i think this will be my favorite in this box!” he looked up at her, but she nodded indicating at a ‘keep going.’

he dug around some more and the second layer were a pairs of football and sonic socks. the final layer however, made matt tear up a bit.

it was every single picture of him and jess together since they started dating with the final page being a diary entry; god matt looks so cute today! how could emily treat him so poorly? he such a gentleman!! manifesting a break up soon! idc if emily hates me after this tbh. he saved my life and god his ability to make me feel human and normal, no matter how many stares i get in public.. he helps me in so many ways, but i can’t tell mike. i’ll play the long game! manifesting that he’ll be my boyfriend asap - jess.

“you’ve liked me for this long?” matt looked up at jess. she just nodded her head, “why? is that weird?”

he stood up and held her close, “not at all.. i don’t think my gift will top this one.”

they kissed passionately until jess moaned and started to undo his buttons on his shirt.

“not yet my love.” matt smirked and pulled away.

he grabbed the gift bag from her vanity top, “since you clearly aren’t getting dressed soon-“

“i don’t know what to wear.” jess corrected him.

matt laughed, “okay, okay. since you don’t know what to wear, this might help.”

jess took the relatively medium-sized bag and started going through it. it was filled with her favorite candies, a yankee candle, a card and a small jewelry box.

she picked up the card as it read; happy valentine’s day to my favorite person ever! i’m so glad i get to call you my girlfriend, i love you - matt

“i love you?” she turned to him.

she hugged him so tight, it felt like her arms were gonna fall off, “i love you too matt.” she sobbed in his arms bringing them to the floor. she pulled away, mascara running, “i can’t believe our first, i love you, was in card form matthew!” she punched him lightly and smiled, causing him to smile back.

“open the last one, babe.” he smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

so she did and it was a silver necklace with small diamonds flooding through it getting bigger and bigger until it reached the middle where there held a ruby heart.

jessica was shocked, “how did you afford this?”

matt shrugged, “picked up a few extra shifts with my dad.”

she hugged him again.

“my gift feels like nothing now!” she said as matt pulled the both of them up with ease.

“your gift is perfect jess. i love you.” matt blushed, still nervous for her reaction to that phrase.

“i love you too.. can you put this on please?” she said happily.

“shit, yeah!” matt put the necklace on jess, and they stood in front of the mirror together looking incredibly happy. except the mascara part.

“please don’t tell me you made reservations within the next hour?” jess realized.

“we missed ours,” matt shook his head lightly, “but i think a cheap dine-in will cut it.”

jess laughed and started getting dressed, fixing her makeup in the process.

she put on a short, white lacey, strappy, backless dress and some red, short fancy looking heels.

“let’s go to our dine-in my good sir.” she grabbed his hand, “how much do you wanna bet we’ll find ashley and chris there?”

“very likely.”

they left after jess said goodbye to her mother and noticed the flowers.

they got in matts car.

“you’re definitely getting a little more attention tonight..” jess said flirtatiously.

matt blushed, “we’ll see where the night takes us.”

they gave each other a peck on the lips.

“we’re gonna look so stupid.” jess laughed and covered her face in her hands.

“stupidly cute.” matt said as he reversed out of the driveway.

“i hope so!”

[lovetransaction]

It's wild to me that people's opinions of John (not factoring in personal bleed) are based ENTIRELY on the shitshow that was his life post-Mary death. Like people are out here measuring Sam's and Dean's heights to calculate the nutritional deficit in Dean's physical development but can't spare a minute to think about John as a whole character. Okay come with me for a minute:

you're John Eric Winchester from Normal, Illinois, and you're a pretty ordinary child, there's literally nothing exciting about you but here you are! You exist! You like yo-yos and guns and planes or at least that's what your parents buy for you.

your dad, who tends to go to work at odd hours, takes you to see an Abbott & Costello movie about a mummy when you're a pre-schooler and it scares the piss out of you. Your dad (who has intimate knowledge of the REAL things that go bump in the night) buys you a music box to calm you down. This music box plays a song from one of the most famous cinematic scenes of romantic melancholy that exists. Despite the late 50s being music box heyday with many options available that play lullabies, for some reason everyone thinks this is a reasonable choice. You will in fact idly whistle "As Time Goes By" all throughout your life.

when you're four, your dad abandons you and you never hear from him again or ever find out why he left you.

your mother Millie doesn't remarry. You have no family around (presumably?) so she raises you, alone, a single mother who can't even claim her husband died in the war, any war. You barely talk about your childhood even in relation to your own sons and how you raise them.

you play baseball/softball because where else can you find a readymade source of companionship and a built-in father figure (from a distance).

at seventeen full of anger and a dad-hole a mile wide you fake your age to join the Marines and be shipped off to Vietnam. While you don't talk about it much when you return to the World, you will default to drill sergeant when your back's to the wall.

you become a mechanic because you come from a family of mechanics.

you meet Mary Campbell and your whole future falls into place. Or at least, that's what you believe. Until November 2nd, 1983.

like there's ALL OF THAT before the John Winchester who's an enormous mess but does everything he can to keep his kids alive. I'm not saying anybody needs to like John but the kneejerk response of "he should be KILLED ACTUALLY" to even the canonically unequivocally good things he did while examining other characters' microexpressions down to the nth degree to ascribe victimhood is just so weird.

top 5 favourite until dawn characters to WRITE vs top 5 favourite until dawn characters in general (if it's different)

it is such an important distinction med, and i thank you endlessly for letting me get into it 😏

WRITING

1. flamethrower guy/the stranger/jack: this one likely shocks no one. there's just. a joy. that comes with writing an unhinged, monster-hunting hermit. he kicks doors open. he lives in a burnt out hospital full of Creatures. he's larry fessenden. he's alive in canon for roughly 5 minutes. he's the light of my life. 2. mike: probably slightly more of a surprise because i don't write him OFTEN, but i love writing mike. lovelovelove writing him. mostly because, of the ud kids, i think he's the character who talks...the most...like i do irl??? similar speech patterns, i mean - same tendency to just. say things. that do not make sense. or things that did not need to be said. 3. EMILY: again, probably a surprise because i don't write her much, but my GOD there is a freedom to writing in emily's voice asldkfjdskf she's smart. she's mean. she always has at least three insults locked and loaded in the chamber. she's also the only character in the franchise to say "understand the palm of my hand, bitch." she contains multitudes. 4. dr. hill: gotta be honest here. i went through. a lot. of schooling for psychology. okay. like. however much you think that means? it was like. twice that. and i spent a lot of time - a lot of time - listening to professionals in the field talk in circles and say absolutely batshit things while sagely nodding and giving everyone around them knowing looks, and if i didn't have alan j. hill to channel all that lingering angst into, i might've exploded by now 😫 hehehehehe. i'm only sort of joking. 5. beth: what did supermassive give her? nothing. what does that mean? she can be anything i want, and i don't have to worry over whether or not it sounds believable in canon 😎 lmfao. in much the same way i looove writing jack because we get like. 10 lines and A Vibe from him, beth's a hoot to write for because, like. we know who her siblings are. we have an IDEA of what her home life must've been like...and everything else is up for debate!!!

JUST, LIKE, TO LOOK AT

1. ashley ashley ashley: they could never make me hate you bb. did she handle some things poorly? yes. does she make some questionable decisions? sure. would i give her the world if the opportunity presented itself? of course. look, i just think. she should get to do...whatever she wants. always. as a treat. :)c 2. matt: i am so. intrigued. by matt's whole deal. every second of it. he's a huge part of the prank but he's also hugely sympathetic. he has that incredibly cute moment with ashley right as they get to the lodge but seems pretty chilly (if not downright disinterested in) chris and josh, her best friends. he helps jess through the mines. he holds his own with emily. unless you play him a v certain way, he seems the most interested in smoothing things over between everybody. HE LEAVES. THE FUCKING. HATCHET. AT THE BASE. OF THE FIRE TOWER. i would love to live in his brain for just like...ten minutes. just really figure him out. (i need to write more with him too 😭 he has bewitched me, body and soul) 3. flamethrower guy/the stranger/jack: look. look i'm not subtle. i just. love that weird old man. i just love him so much. if supermassive said 'hey here's a dlc where you go through one (1) calendar day as jack fiddler, it costs $60 and is roughly 1 hour of gameplay,' i'd fold immediately. idk why. 4. josh: there is no one - NO ONE - in this, or any other, game who's so willing to commit so fully to the bit. my man had BLUEPRINTS. my guy had DEAD PIGS. bro sourced knockout gas and fake newspapers and real blood and made voice recordings and an alter ego and rigGED HIS WHOLE FAMILY'S VACATION HOME WITH BOOBY TRAPS, THREW A PARTY ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS SISTERS' SUPPOSED DEATHS, AND EVERYONE STILL FUCKING SHOWED UP. say whatever else you want about him, josh had SOMETHING figured out, man. 5. jess: again. did she make some questionable decisions? sure. do i agree with everything she did? no. but after everything she goes through, after all the tragedy and agony and terror she is put through, this girl still has the wherewithal to grab a shovel and beam a guy in the head with it, and you know what? i respect that 🙏🏻 plus she wore hiphuggers to a party on a mountain in alberta in the dead of winter, and i just want to study her under a microscope.

[atopvisenyashill]

i'm intrigued in what ways do you think hotd can massively change the ending of the war? (without it being the obvious rhaenyra lives)

mind you this is complete tinfoil hatery here!!! it’s like a combo of “i’m too online” and “i’m too paranoid” and “i know condal & hess have their own opinions on the books and they are as dedicated as they are weird” SO these are the ones i kinda get squinty eyed suspicious over and i have noticed others being suspicious as well-

driftmark inheritance - like i said this COULD be them twisting the knife a little more re: corlys’ bastards but i have wondered if rhaenys pushing for rhaena and baela is hinting towards one of them, likely baela, inheriting out and out.

battle of the gullet - i’ve wondered if they’re going to push it so jace stays alive longer, like as far as rhaenyra’s rule in king’s landing

jace has a baby - i’ve seen both that he & baela will have a kid and THAT kid will take over driftmark, OR be aegon iii’s wife instead of jaehaera/daenaera. i’ve also seen sara snow shows up, her & jace get hitched, and cregan legitimizes the kid to be his own heir? i think all three of these are a stretch but it also feels like the weird shit they’d do?

with that said i do also wonder if they don’t cut daenaera or kill jaehaera during the war to give aegon iii just one wife

rhaenyra doesn’t die - okay listen. i know i’m like basically tb and you’re all thinking “this bitch is just huffing copium” but i have wondered if they’d soften it by having rhaenyra like, live in self imposed exile/fake her death/some sort of abdication in favor of her sons, and justify it as being closer to what happened to matilda. tbc i don’t want this to happen bc i think condal & hess would do a terrible job with it lol

i actually had the thought that rhaenicent might run off together. you know that scene in versailles where that recurring secret protestant girl ran off with her noble friend and the musketeer let them? i was picturing something like that. tbf i was high when i started feeling this one was likely.

these are the ones i’ve seen people yelling about that i just feel are too far fetched-

streets are saying jace & corlys are basically gonna attempt an overthrow of rhaenyra, i don’t think this is likely, i think this is people being dramatic over the scenes where the three of them are fighting after rook’s rest

i’ve actually seen a theory that hotd is meant to be a soft reboot for the entire series and it’s a jump off into a REDO of the main series and once again, feels like cope, but!!! they reboot spiderman & x-men every 3-5 business days!!!

the sara snow thing is specifically about the catspaw dagger btw

daemon survives the fight with aemond and lives in hiding forever

rhaenyra straight up lives, is crowned, wins, and rules with aegon the younger as her heir.

one of the velaryon boys will live altho everyone kinda hems and haws about WHICH one

if you’re like “these seem insane” a) yeah b) they’ve done not one but TWO groucho marx esque disguises this season and i KNOW the cargylls are canon but come on i feel they’re getting silly. and again, respect for condal, but he was the one who defended the sansa bolton story arc!!

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

Okay so Dragon Age/MHA crossover 1.

Izuku is the son of Solas and Mythal who was kidnapped by the other evil mages pretending to be gods (by stealing the names of their actual gods because I fucking HATE that plot twist in canon) and sent to the MHA world because Solas was leading a rebellion and Mythal was dead and they wanted to hurt Solas. So Izuku is raised in Japan by his adopted parents who sadly never tell Izuku he’s adopted and would aggressively pretend he isn't.

Izuku though begins developing magic in his teen years much like how in Thedas they develop them as teens. Izuku is convinced he's just a late bloomer. At least until then dreams start and he begins to see things. He is kind and curious, looking up what he sees and deciding it's like the Fae. He promises nothing and gives nothing. No deals either.

Then one day he stumbles upon what's left of Mythal (actual Mythal and not the fake who played with Solas like an instrument) and learns the truth. Solas is actually a God, the belief in him ascending him. Meanwhile the actual Gods got all the power while the fakes didn't get anything. This Mythal tells Izuku everything. She begs him to find his father to speak with him. She knows if he ever awakens he may see Thedas as nothing but a world of fakes.

Izuku travels in his dreams, hunting for his father. He goes to UA and still tries to find his father. He hunts and hunts for him. Eventually he does find Solas- who woke up a year before and is actively working to take down the Veil.

It takes a while for Solas to believe Izuku, until everyone is agreeing and pointing out the truth. But he refuses to listen to Izuku talk about how his plan is stupid.

Izuku by this time is twenty having lived through a war. He's lost friends, his adoptive parents are dead and he looks around at a world that hasn't changed. Despite everything they still have the same systems in place. They still are on the same damn wheel. Bakugou (who never changed. Izuku doesn't have OFA, no he has a Quirk that lets him do so much more and Bakugou can't stop seeing it as looking down. Can't be given trust that makes him look back on his life) is rising the ranks fast and his actions are pushed aside.

Izuku, age twenty, turns to his surviving friends and their teachers. Uraraka (down an arm but still fighting), Iida (still strong even after everything), Todoroki (alive and just as furious), Yaoyorozu (Burned and broken but standing) and Shinsou (mute now but applying the parkour he was given years ago to heroics) are all he has left as friends. Aizawa (lost a leg and an eye, lost his best friend, learned another was a puppet and lost his husband), Nezu (who tried his hardest to change society after what he went through but nothing has changed even now) and Midnight (who clawed her way back after being injured. Who has scars and stopped being ‘useful’ as a hero without being sexy) are the teachers left with Eri (shaking and scared as the hero commission pushes for training for her).

He asks if they would leave with him. They say they will.

So, a week after the Chantry explosion, a group of strange people show up in Haven. Two women, a child, and five men, along with a small person who is covered in a coat. One of them calls out for his father, Solas, who is shocked but delighted.

“I will not change my mind,” the elf warns his son. “You do not know how it was once.”

“I’ll keep trying,” is what Izuku replies with.

(he doesn't tell his father the one to strike down All for One after Mirio died, taking One for All with him, was Izuku. Doesn't talk about how he’d sobbed learning who the man was.

Doesn’t talk about how Midoriya Hizashi was a facade and that Izuku had loved him still.

He's killed one father for the world. He can do it a second time if needed.)

gob x tony

Oh boy okay okay first of all thank you for asking and sorry for taking so long to reply!!!

anyway.....

I am not exaggerating or speaking hyperbolically when I say that Gob/Tony is truly one of the best modern, CANON gay romances ever put to film.

First off, you have Gob's whole backstory. He's the disappointment, the one who should be the one to inherit his dad's company but is too incompetent compared to his younger brother. It's, again, canon that he's kept around to commit crimes for his family, use his charm, and - this one is his own thought process - fuck people to help the business.

He's the unwanted son, the bullet in his parents' shotgun wedding, canonically his mom's least favorite child and definitely not that high on his dad's list, either. The man is desperate for love throughout the whole show, leading to him freaking out when he thinks his girlfriend doesn't appreciate his magical abilities or using his bachelor party to try to frame someone for murder just because his dad's the one planning it. He cries when he thinks his brother didn't listen to his CD! He just wants people to love and appreciate him and it never seems to work.

Then he meets Tony. And even in "Sword of Destiny", Tony is impressed by him! And Tony takes enough interest to come to his wedding illusion and seem vaguely impressed as well - and note that no one from his family came to the wedding at all except Tobias, and that was just because he got an acting gig!

And, though they both were faking at first, Tony listens to him. Tony doesn't judge him. Tony is just as ridiculous as him, is just as "same" as him, and obviously feels a need to be around him for more than the Fakeblock scam, just like how Gob obviously wants to be around him for more than just to ruin his career. After all, they're both disappointed and hurt when they think the other is straight, not just angry and mad they did this for nothing like you would think if they didn't have feelings for each other.

And Gob, the man who consistently tries to run away from his problems - including even Tony at first in the beginning of s5 - becomes someone who actually proposes that they go on the road together, that Tony runs away with him. And then when he finds out that Tony is still really alive, he's the one who tracks him down and brings him back to Newport Beach.

And Tony, someone shown to not give a damn about anybody - he surely isn't romantic with Sally and he was doing something with his brother's widow ("it's fucked up") - cares so much about Gob. He tries at first to gently let him down when he's denying his own feelings. He apologizes for "missing" their sex date. He doesn't laugh at Gob for getting his words mixed up ("branding each other's taint"), which most everyone else does to him whether he realizes it or not ("the matriarch, if you will" "sure, I will"). He even agreed to do the 2nd of July float, and I cannot believe someone as show-boat-y as Tony fucking Wonder, someone who has to be the center of attention, would do a combined magician act for just anyone. And that's not even getting into the look of pure fucking LOVE Tony gives Gob in the series finale or how he's the one to suggest "Just hands!" to him.

And, outside of the canon of the show, I've seen some people say it started as a homophobic joke and I truly do not believe that. From my knowledge, Mitch basically made Gob a magician because it was funny. And you know what's funnier than one magician? Two magicians! And since magic is still weirdly a man's world, of course a magician couple happens to be two men. Will Arnett even said the story is sweet and is about Gob finding a connection he's never had before. And since they were planting hints of Gob's sexuality for YEARS, I find it hard to believe they were trying to be homophobic in any way. (Though, tbh, I have to agree with Maeby that "Gay Gob is funny.")

Anyway, I'll stop there. But tl;dr, Blunder is a true fucking masterpiece of romance and I will take no critiques on that.

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

[princess-of-the-corner]

Questions for Princess Bee au, since you said you were following but soft rewriting events in S4 and S5, if these are things that you've thought of:

How does Lila's whole 'three mom scam + lair in the catacombs' thing work? Are you ignoring it bc of how nonsensical it is? Bc like, the only way I personally can think to make that plot work at all, au or cannon, is by using that 'Lila has been a Senti the whole time who was made a long time ago with the purpose of stirring up shit and antagonizing Miraculous users and that how she's pulling everything off' idea that someone brought up a while ago.

Is the Derision prank being ignored or rewritten? I know you hate it and the episode, and Chloe being Heather Chandler levels of cruel and feared pre-Origins is not gonna be a thing in this, but the prank itself doesn't seem much worse than some of the stuff Chloe did in S1, at least to me, so im curious what you're gonna do with that

((is Kim still gonna be dumber than two turnips in a rain barrel?))

What happened with Gabriel? Are you keeping him going full bastard post-Miracle Queen, or going to go the HC route with him? If you're settled on the Wish being used by Adrienette to stop him, I'm assuming he soundly lost, no statue or being remembered as a hero for him. Is he in jail?

((Also, is Natalie just dead if Gabriel didn't get the Wish?))

If you're keeping Feligami but making it a bit healthier, are you working with them and Adrien being Sentimonsters, or is that being thrown out?

Okay so! Lotta things!

Lila may be put on a slight backburner for now. I will scrap the three moms plot, because that's just??? How the fuck does she pull that off?? As far as Canon, she was still a teen who was going down a dark path and in this AU she unfortunately didn't get help and has continued said dark path. How much she's done in the meantime is up in the air, but having her still as a con artist is probably on the table. That said, I need to hammer out her motivations and what she plans to do should she get the Miraculous because like. As petty as she is I'm not going to say she's still miffed about Marinette calling her on her shit.

Derision is.... kinda both? I have a rewrite for this anyway but short version: yes Chloé was a bully and pulled pranks. This was another prank. No, not everyone was scared of her it's still the Origins-level and the prank wasn't quite as cruel because no feelings were involved(also maybe fake spiders instead of real ones). I'm saving Kim's character by 1.) having him semi-unaware of the prank? LIke Chloé tells him they're pulling a prank and he's on board but he doesn't know what's in the box and also 2.) afterward he's like 'yeah no that one was mean' instead of 'it's just a prank bro!'. Mari was hurt by it but not Super Extremely Traumatized™, and it has nothing to do with her stalking Adrien(that was just her being a bit lovesick and she addresses it in a much healthier way another time)

Gabriel is.... a bit up in the air. I am going with his Season 4-5 self so I'm not redeeming him. I can't /quite/ figure out a way he'd win that would have Mari and Adrien resort to using the Wish to stop him without having him use the Wish first and they reverse it. So either they reverse his Wish, or Gabriel's Wish in the first place included blocking all of the other Miraculous Users from being able to use the Miraculous so they can't undo his Wish. I'll debate on what to do with this one, and we also debate on Emilie and Nathalie's fates. If they reverse the Wish then Gabriel's probably alive but in jail and the Team would spend time finding how to fix Emilie and Nathalie(probably gonna be nice and fix them). If it's just Gabe gets the Wish and blocks them from fixing it, then he's dead but Nathalie and Emilie are fixed. Sill have to debate on /how/ he manages to get the Wish because I don't want Marinette to be a fucking moron but ya know.

I am working with the Sentikids plot! But I'm adjusting a few things!!

1.) Adrien, Felix and Kagami are Special and the other Sentis aren't Sapient Beings, so there's no moral issue over how many Mari killed or Felix making tool ones like Red Moon and OUAT. With this also comes the option to free them from their Amok's control.

2.) I'm having Tomoe be a lot better. She loves Kagami, though she did have her business deals with Gabriel. She's not as much a part of the supervillain thing past 'Gabriel has the Peacock and he can snap my daughter out of existence so I will do what he asks'. She's far from perfect, but her hands are tied for a while. And even when Felix gets the Peacock, not only is she unsure of if Felix is a threat to Kagami or not, but she's also in too deep and if Gabriel goes down so does she

3.) I'm bringing Felix's whole thing down a LOT of notches. He doesn't hate all of Humanity, he just hates the few in specific who treat him and the others like tools. So in Emotion, he only kills Gabriel and Tomoe, knowing Gabriel is like Colt and assuming Tomoe is as well when he finds out Kagami is a Senti. He does realize he's wrong later when he's eavesdropping and trying to find ways to get Kagami out of her situation and sees that her mother loves her. Their romance is also more slowburn instead of immediately hooking up.

Also an overall change: Adrien knows about what's going on and we have a proper reveal goddamn it!!

[blazethecheeto]

what are your arrowverse rarepairs?

okay so this is gonna be fun especially as i'm not sure what counts as a rarepair

thanks for asking!!!! damn there's a lot lol

[soulmatebracket]

Soulmate Bracket: Round 1 [Side A — Part V]

Provided reasoning under cut:

Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangji

They are canonically called soulmates!! In the live action this is platonic due to censorship and in the book it is romantic but the term actually used is zhiji (知己) of which soulmate is the closest english translation but is more literally like. the mirror to your soul. your own self in another person. i am not good with translations only wei wuxian dies but lan wangji mourns him for thirteen years (despite wwx being hated and despised by the world) because he can never love another. when wwx is brought back he recognises him instantly despite being in someone else’s body. they literally would find each other in any time or place

Oh boy. Ok. They're not explicitly called "soulmates" in the show/book but Netflix does use that categorization in its description of "The Untamed". Nor are either of them technically reincarnated BUT Wei Wuxian does get resurrected in another man's body through some shady necromancy, which is pretty darn close. They've got a fascinating relationship journey (basically enemies/rivals to lovers) Mr. Follow-All-Rules-To-The-Letter Lan Wangji meets Mr. Break-All-The-Rules-In-The-Name-Of-Fun-And-Showing-Off Wei Wuxian at teenage exorcist summer camp, they go through some sh*t, Wei Wuxian dies, Lan Wangji spends over a decade trying to find any sign of his lost soulmate while raising his adopted kid, then the shady necromancy happens and Lan Wangji IMMEDIATELY clocks that this guy simultaneously solving exorcist issues using slightly questionable means and causing shenanigans is Wei Wuxian. He might be in a different body pretending to be another crazy man, but HE KNOWS it's his guy because he acts the same and he knows the secret love song Wangji wrote for Wuxian that he shared one time in a cave during one of their near-death bonding experiences. Then history starts kind of repeating itself, only this time they stick together and make sure EVERYONE knows that they've got each others' backs, and they are absolutely legendary. Also Wei Wuxian is INCREDIBLY dense and it takes him just about until the end of the story to realize they're both gay and in love. They're complex and fascinating and tied to each other by the red string of fate so tightly that they are incomplete without each other. That's destiny, baby. They're soulmates, always and forever. (Possibly literally as the proper practice of exorcism (called "cultivation" in this world) can lead to immortality, and you know Mr. Follow-All-Rules-To-The-Letter Lan Wangji has the potential, and he will drag his guy along with him so they are never separated again.)

Okay so I feel like it could be argued if they count but the Netflix description of the show calls them soulmates and WWX *did* get reincarnated and then almost immediately run into LWJ who had been mourning him for 16 years. LWJ composed a little musical theme for them that ties them together and WWX playing it on a super out of tune flute is what let LWJ fully recognize him. Their magic which comes from their souls is very compatible and neither of them have ever been normal about each other in their life even though WWX spent a long time being extremely dumb and repressed about his very gay feelings (they are romantic soulmates, just takes them a bit to get there). Big "you and me against the world" vibes once WWX becomes the number 1 wanted guy in the entire universe due to dabbling in dark magic even though WWX was like "lan zhan if someone has to kill me i want it to be you" (LWJ did *not* want it to be him and did his very best to keep WWX alive even though it meant betraying his clan and the world as a whole). They got fake married as teens back when LWJ didn't even like WWX. There are multiple moments where they parallel other soulmates/soulmate-coded characters (song lan and xiao xingchen, baoshen sanren and lan an). They're the only two characters who get to be happy at the immediate end of the story and that's because both of them being alive and together and getting to wander around fighting monsters and playing music and being grossly in love is all that they both need.

Utena Tenjou & Anthy Himemiya

[SPOILERS] at the end of the series, it is revealed that they weren’t living in the real world this entire time. Utena was sent somewhere else. Anthy goes to find her in the movie, and Utena has lost all of her memories of Anthy in that world. At the end of the movie, they end up escaping to the real world

Utena falls in love with Anthy on first sight and makes sure she becomes her prince without even remembering who she is. They're stuck in a timeloop and eventually find themselves together near the end escaping from the horrors theyre trapped in. (Spoilers kinda) Anthy is hinted to have came back to life after being burned st the stake for being seen as a witch so the reincarnation exists,,,(they're in love your honor vote for my silly sapphics)

Every version of RGU is the narrative repeating itself. Devouring itself again. The serpent eating its own tail. Utena fights for Anthy again and again. Anthy betrays Utena, or lies to Utena, or cannot save the both of them quick enough. Anthy escapes, or they both escape, or they both get trapped again, and the story repeats, and Utena is winning the hand of the rose bride, and Utena cannot escape the narrative. Each time the story is told again Utena cannot quite remember how she got here, but it gets more familiar each time. RGU is a time loop that the characters can hardly escape. In every version, Anthy and Utena find each other. Betray each other. Find each other, again.

[writing--whore]

The Art of Survival - Chapter One

Okay so I have written 5k of the Luis x Reader Hunger Games series (and I'm only like halfway/a quarter of the way through the plot that I have in mind) but before I go any further with the writing and editing, I wanna put the first 1k words to see if people actually like it. So here you go. Plz lmk what you think and if you want more :3

Pairing: Luis Serra x Reader

Summary: Luis is determined to survive the hunger games, which means he cannot allow himself to have a single weakness. And he had none. That was until he laid eyes on you.

Word count: 1k

Warnings: graphic depiction of violence (canon typical for Resident Evil 4 and also The Hunger Games). The violence is committed against you. Canon typical murder of children.

A/N: I re-watched the Hunger Games like a year ago and haven't seen it again since. I'm not going to follow the Hunger Games lore as if it were law. Because A) I don't want to and B) I can't remember it. Please don't come for me. Or do and I'll edit it.

Part One - Part Two

Throughout the whole ordeal - the training, the social events, the interviews - Luis kept his head down and didn’t speak a word to anyone. He didn’t want to think about his chances of getting out of here alive. And he certainly didn’t want to think about how he would have to murder all 23 other contestants if he wanted to live. He’d committed enough atrocities by creating la plagas. A part of him thought this was karma; he deserved to die after what he had done. And yet, when faced with the very real likelihood of death, he realised that he was much more selfish and cowardly than he’d originally thought. He realised that he wanted to live. 

He chose not to think about it. He didn’t want to face his ugly instinct to survive and what he would have to do if he wanted to return home. Which is why he didn’t want to have anything to do with anyone else. He didn’t want to humanise his opponents. 

But he had eyes and he had ears. No matter how much denied and ignored the situation, numerous pieces of information still infiltrated his brain. For instance, he noticed that Y/N was the weakest opponent. She was the smallest, she was the weakest and she didn’t even seem to possess one single skill that would be helpful in the arena. For as much as he tried to uproot it, a seed of sympathy had planted itself in his heart. None of this was fair. People like her should not be pitted against… well, people like him. 

He certainly wasn’t the strongest here but he was far from the weakest. He was decently tall, decently strong. He knew he had a great aim and that he was exceptionally bright. And after fighting the Los Illuminados, he thought he had a pretty good grasp on the act of survival. 

There was one final banquet where all the contestants dined together. He couldn’t handle it. Everyone was so fake, trying to make pleasant conversation when they knew a blood bath loomed on the horizon. He scoffed up his food and chose to take a walk instead. 

The cool air hit his face and he sighed with relief. The peace was short lived; his ears attuned to a nearby sound of crying. His feet trod silently along the gravel, following the sound until he spied the source. Someone was curled up behind a hedgerow, letting out helpless sobs. It was Y/N. 

His feet continued along the path. He buried the sympathy, he buried the shame. Those weren’t emotions he was capable of possessing anymore. 

So why then was he haunted by her face when he was trying to get to sleep that night? 

He recalled being forced to watch the footage of the other contestants getting reaped, and the way all of the colour drained from Y/N’s face when her name was called. He recalled seeing her taking great gulping breaths before the live interviews, each one shorter than the last like she was forgetting how to breathe. 

He groaned and wiped a hand across his face. She should not be here. She should not be fated to a certain and brutal execution. But more importantly, he should not be thinking about this. He had to focus on himself. It was the only way to win. 

That’s exactly what he did. As he stood in the arena, facing his contestants in a circle, he thought only of saving his own skin. This was it. The games were about to commence. His heart drilled against his chest. It was not an unfamiliar feeling, he had learnt to hone it, to sharpen his senses while forgoing any mindless panic. 

The contestants eyed each other up, trying to unnerve the other. Luis simply didn’t look. He focused on the cornucopia straight ahead. He knew he’d be able to run fast enough and he would be much better off if he could claim a weapon. 

So as the countdown hit zero, he legged it, shoulder barging others out of the way. A solid iron pipe caught his eye. It would keep his attackers at arms length and it would be skilled at wielding it. He snatched it and ran, holding it poised against his shoulder in a way that made others afraid to take their chances with him. 

He dived into the thick of the forest, picking a random direction and sprinting as fast as he could. No thoughts entered his mind besides the command to keep on running until he couldn’t run anymore. 

Laughter cut through the tree trunks a few feet ahead, followed by high pitched shrieks. His feet dug into the mud as he went to veer around the source of the noise. But through the leaves, he spotted Y/N. She was crawling through the leaves on her hands and knees but two kids from district 9 dragged her back into the clearing; two cats toying with their prey. 5 minutes into the games and these kids were already focused on sadism rather than survival. 

The district 9 boy easily flipped her onto her back and straddled her, ending her ability to struggle. His fist raised in the air and pounded her face. 

Adrenaline shot up Luis’ spine. He wasn’t even aware that he was emerging through the brush. Nor that his arms had sparked to life and were lifting the pipe over his head. It was an automatic, emotionless act, he told himself as he swung. 

A sickening crack echoed throughout the trees as the boy’s skull snapped open. Rivers of blood ran down the back of his head. 

The district 9 girl screamed - raw with grief - and took off running in the opposite direction. 

The boy fell to one side, half on top of Y/N. She propelled her legs, trying to scrabble away from the weight trapping her. Luis was reminded of a bunny caught in a fist.  

Horror flashed in her eyes when she caught him watching her. Blood had sprayed across his cheek, painting him as a killer. It gave her the fuel she needed; one more kick and she was free. She scurried away, kicking up fallen leaves and very nearly tripping over her own feet.

~~~

He dreamt of her that night. He dreamt that he was a ghostly spectator, floating around the clearing as the district 9 kids took it in turns to beat her. They didn’t let up. His heart tore itself to sheds to hear her cries as her face was marred with deep black bruises. There was nothing left of his heart when her cries turned to silent defeat. She wasn’t going to get out of this. And no one was coming to help her. 

Their punches didn’t let up even as her face turned into an unrecognisable pulp. 

“Stop!” He wanted to call out but had no voice.

He wanted to break their hands, claw out their eyes. But he could not act.
