Kurt Wagner x Demon male reader

Headcanons

Did you guys know that in olden time, people thought owls and toads were linked to the devil? Was this an excuse to give the reader animal characteristics? Yes, yes it was. Fruits like strawberries and cherries were also used to symbolize different more bodily involved sins. I took a bit of inspo to how the demons look in Dictionnaire Infernal, since they’re cool and goofy.

I may still be tired and wrung out from all my classes, but the will to write lives on. How’s everyone’s week been?

No one had known you were a demon in the beginning. Everyone just kind of assumed you were another mutant. They already had one member of the x-men who had wings, so it wasn’t the wildest thought that you were like warren.

Your wings were a bit more like an eagle owl, and sure, sometimes your eyes would morph into something like a toad or even a goat, but they had seen much weirder.

You not stepping inside churches or other holy areas was mainly seen as a personal preference, since you were so casual about it. you technically could step inside the buildings, but it was too much work to be worth it for you.

Instead you’d hang out outside with the others who didn’t feel a need to step inside. And yeah, you may have carved a sigil or two into the building behind your back, so you could teleport there in the future to cause some trouble if you got bored.

Demons had no specific form, at least your father didn’t and so you didn’t. you simply morphed into the one that felt most comfortable, making most believe you had a shapeshifting mutation.

There were multiple kings of hell, but your father had always been the most powerful and most influential, so you were expected to follow in his footsteps, which was why you had kind of ran away to earth.

It was just so boring, sitting there and doing all that kingly work so your father could retire with the other ancient kings, since demons don’t die, they can simply only be ignored and rebutted.

You had never meant to help the x-men or join them, but they’d been there at the right place at the wrong time, and just happened to catch some human trying to assault you for being a “mutant”

It was only the x-men stepping in that kept you from trapping the guy in eternal damnation, but you decided why not just play along for now, see where it takes you. And before you knew it, you were an x-men, helping to “fight for the good of mutant kind” or whatever.

It wasn’t hard to make you seem like a mutant, for you to even show up when Charles was looking for mutants with his powers.

It was all good and dandy, until that furry blue bastard wormed his way into the six pitch black organs you called your hearts. Well, sometimes it was six, sometimes twenty, sometimes zero, it really depended on the day.

But it was six the day you realized Kurt had gotten into your good graces. More than that honestly, as he made you feel… flustered. How he succeeded in making a demon like yourself flustered was still a mystery to you.

You had been drawn to him in the beginning because of his whole “blue demon” thing, only for it to turn out that Kurt was religious, and would sometimes wear a cross. He even prayed at times, the action always making your skin itch.

Kurt was honestly the only one to start putting things together since he knew some about demonology, hell, your name was just a shortened version of your infernal title. Weaker demons showing up and groveling at your feet and referring to you as their prince probably didn’t help.

Luckily it had just been Kurt around at the time, but the blue imp clocked you quicker than you thought they would.

Surprisingly, Kurt didn’t hate you or fear you. To him, you were an x-men and helped save people, so you weren’t fully bad. He even went out of his way to pray somewhere else so your hands wouldn’t burn and for your wings to start burning at the edges.

Somewhere along the way, what you had morphed into more than just a friendship. You had an inkling that your father would have your hide when he realized you had bedded a mortal, and one so clearly meant for heaven when the day came.

But eternity was so long, so who could blame you for wanting to spend it with someone as kind as Kurt. Even if you knew somewhere deep inside, that you would mourn Kurt for most of that eternity when the time came.

Kurt talked you into telling the x-men your true origin. They were hurt in the beginning, and you politely stepped out of the team since you technically weren’t a mutant, and you wanted to respect that.

That didn’t stop you from hanging out at the mansion, or on Krakoa when that came around. How you got on the island? You would never tell, mainly because it drove Scott crazy that he could never figure it out.

After coming out of the hellfire closet, you felt less need to control your form to the same degree. To most you were still just a mutant, since the body you wore the most had been a mutant, so… it counted in a loophole kinda way.

Everyone got good at clocking who you were, even on days when you altered your shape completely. Kurt was obviously the best. Even on days where you had a lion head and the tail of a snake, or when you had three heads and a burning crown.

It was a little awkward when Kurt became a priest and built his own religion like thing, mainly because you just couldn’t get yourself to touch him when he wore the uniform.

It was the aura for the most part. None of the others got it, or saw it like you did, but they weren’t demons, so it made sense. But Kurt always carried an aura, and it was manageable enough on regular days. But after sermons it just got strong enough to make your tongue buzz and your feathers puff up.

Kurt got good at wiping himself off in a metaphorical way, so you guys could kiss and cuddle even on days he did sermons. And you as a demon were way too strong to truly to hurt by it, it just got a bit annoying sometimes.

All in all, you two were happy. Even if you had to chase away demons that wanted to take over earth every now and then. Your father had never given you your own domain, so you just kinda slapped your name on earth and told every other demon to square up for it.

Some did come out of the woodwork to fight, mainly just because they could. No one really wanted earth. Too much trouble, too much holy interference, and all those magicians? No way. It was just older demons wanting a good fight for the most part.

Kurt also came to really like your less human look. Maybe he was projecting, but there was something nice about having a partner that didn’t look too “human”, if he could say that without being offensive.

There were days where you looked like the average human man. But other days you were more beast than man, or even the days where you didn’t even want a blood-filled body, so you were made out of sand or water, or anything along those lines.

He did have a preference for forms where you had a tail, because it was comforting to coil your tails together. Or if the form you took had claws, since it felt so good to have your hands rubbing up and down his back and scratch through his fuzz.

There were times when Kurt forgot to take off his cross, or hide it under his shirt, so you did get small burns, even if they went away in a few seconds. You didn’t care much, but seeing Kurt apologize was always very cute.

Having a powerful demon like you on the side of the x-men also helped out a lot during fights. You stayed out of it for the most part, to “keep balance of the mortal plane” or whatever your father said.

There were times when Kurt was in mortal danger where you stepped in though, but you always contained the worst of your powers.

And staying back also meant you could focus your powers on healing those that needed it. Kurt got the most of it, of course, as you would cuddle and kiss him, your kisses transferring the healing energy instead.

It was nice. And yes, you knew one day you’d be alone again, stuck on earth after claiming it as your territory. But the present was so good, so warm and loving, that the cold empty future didn’t matter.

Daddy kink for sure but not like that simple calling him daddy stuff. Oh no! He wants to see you in the pretty skirts, with the pigtails and remind you that he’s the older one, even going as far as saying, “Be careful sweetie don’t want mommy to hear you.” It’s dirty and deranged and he just can’t get enough of your shocked gasp before you finally give into his dark desire.

E = Exhibitionist?  (Do they like being watched)

Watch him all you want but he’ll tease you the entire time, giving you a nice dirty show. Stroking his cock and telling you to help him out by spitting on his dick so he can glide his palm against himself

Groomed pretty nice but likes his happy trail 

I = Initiation (how do they get you going? Vice versa )

Hornball just like all the other red haired men in this show lol Can’t keep his hand off of you whenever you pass by him. Will pull you into his lap and whisper some filth in your ear till you’re the one begging him to take you to your room.

J = Jealous (how do they get when jealous )

Honestly you could try and make him jealous even going as far as having someone buy you a drink and it would backfire on you, tbh he’d probably cheer you on. But if someone gets handsy with you during your little jealousy game then he’ll step in wrapping his arm around you pulling you into the biggest, sloppiest kiss. Once yall get back to the room be prepared for the spanking of a lifetime.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Shanks loves loves lovesss watching you masturbate, make it pretty for him and put on a show and he's gonna melt. He’ll try and sit still till the end but he can’t help himself and will pounce, licking your cunt like a lollipop

Loves spanking you. Hearing you yelp and seeing you squirm as you’re bent over his lap makes his cock so hard. Grinding his cock into your belly as he lays spank after spank on your cute booty, enjoys seeing it move with every smack.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Will literally fuck you anywhere but prefers his comfy bed so you can be your loudest.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

If you bend over to pick something up he’ll materialize right behind you in an instant, or you come behind him and rub his shoulders. If you flirt even a little he’ll become like a pot of boiling water waiting to blow off his steam and load all over you.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Won’t draw blood from you so he’ll never be too rough with you. If you happen to be on your menstrual then he’s fine and dandy but if he’s the cause for your blood then he’ll freak out.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Great pussy eater and can spend hours between those pretty legs, using his arm to pin your tummy down preventing you from moving or running away. Loves receiving as well but except him to fuck your face nice and slow while praising you on your perfect skills.

P = Position (favorite position)

Cowgirl - so he can see your pretty face as you work those hips he loves so much

Reverse Cowgirl- Loves spanking your ass as you bounce on his cock, pulling your hair so you arch your back on his cock. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Whenever and wherever you guys can sneak off to he is all for it lol

R = Rope (shibari, bondage? Do they like it?)

Definitely down to try anything. Loves seeing you unable to move as you’re all tied up and isn’t opposed to being the one tied and at your mercy but he’ll still talk like he’s in charge.

S = Sharing? (Are they willing to share you?)

It’s up to you but he’d only share you with Benn of course.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Loves them. Want a vibrator? Then he’ll fuck you senseless while holding it to your clit until you’re shaking and regretting the purchase. Want him to wear a cock ring? Sure he’ll be your victim no problem. 

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Not to unfair but lives to tease and drive you wild

V = Voyeur (do they like to watch)

Most definitely but he’ll only watch for so long before he gets impatient

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Can totally see this man pretending like he doesn’t know you in a bar just to have the excuse to pick you up again. Pretending you’re both cheating on your dear partners until you’re both tangled in the sheets in a lusty sweaty mess. The whole time Benn and the crew will just laugh along with your antics 

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Not the girthiest but that man is long and curved poking you right in your special spot. Won’t stretch you too much but you’ll feel him deep in your tummy. Will even tease you by putting his cock against your stomach, winking that that's where he’s about to be.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

When he’s away you’re in the forefront of his mind and the second he’s back on the ship then he’ll drag you off somewhere in a second. If you’re not on his crew and he has to leave then you’re his masturbation material until he finally has you in his reach and returns back to your island.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not quickly, he loves being a gentleman taking care of all your wants and needs and that includes anything you’ll need after a body numbing session but once you’re all good then he’s snoring like a big baby.

🌻 A great choice! Now that these are out of the way, let’s start off with a bit of a storytelling, shall we? Let me just turn on my narrator voice… ahem ahem... dot dot dot... (insert really cool narrator voice)

You are a humble fisherman who just decided that today was going to be a good day. You grabbed yourself a cup of coffee to start it. The aroma of fresh coffee beans filled the atmosphere, hitting it juuust right. Everything was fine and dandy… until the world decided that it wasn't going to be fine and dandy. You experienced every minor inconvenience known to man: Spilling your cup of coffee, a small but noticeable stain on your favourite shirt, stepping on a wet puddle with socks on, those unskippable YouTube ads that lasted for a solid minute for a 30-second video… getting caught in a red light and you have to wait. So close, yet so far…

When you got home, you decided that maybe a fish sandwich would cheer you up. To your unbelievably worst luck that never seemed to run out, there was no fish. How ironic...

So you decided to venture out to the sea to find yourself the perfect fish for your perfect fish sandwich. Sure, you can buy fish from the supermarket, but catching it fresh makes it all the more delicious.

After grabbing your trusty Swish-Swash Buckling Shlongaloo and a box full of Jimlings #3, you finally made your way to your boat and set sail. Normally, the ocean would be shrouded in darkness in the dead of night. However, the moonlight seemed to be glowing so strong, it became the light in the void and revealed royal shades of blue you never thought you’d see at this time. The call of the night reeled you deeper into the heart of the ocean…

                   .ılılılllıılılıllllıılılllıllı.

                    ↺   |◁   II   ▷|   ♡

As you drifted farther away from home, all that was left were the faint hum of your boat’s engine and the swooshing sounds of the sea. The smell of salt wafted in the air as the cold midnight breeze gently bathed your entirety. Your eyes flooded with the sight of the blue horizon. Perhaps this is how you got those so called “ocean eye”. Whether or not you had loved the ocean, it had left a part of itself in the window of your soul. You were truly part of its world.

After your nightly dose of the lustrous sea, you placed your gaze upon the full moon. The fishermen at the docks said that you won’t get a good haul if she’s fully out, but you believed that that was a bunch of baloney. Besides, you get to see the whole of her beauty. Moonlight painted your face, an ethereal glow highlighting your features. She seems to be listening right now. What do you say to the moon?

[1] - (You are free to say anything. Make small talk , pour your heart out, anything, really! Perhaps the moon will respond... perhaps not, who knows?)

Random ramblings from d1tz to the mod:

I was too late to realize... that Curly's fishing fit looks almost like Mario without the hat... sobbing screaming frothing at the mouth

I gotta give him a bucket hat, I don't want to draw Curly and think of that goofy ahh Italian plumber

Yes, I decided to use the nighttime screen to avoid drawing another piece LOL

!!

All right, let’s see what we’ve got.

Wonderful art. I like the little crew doodles, hah. Feels like something Daisuke would draw on Swansea’s Post-Its.

Coffee, eh? Guess fisherman Curly’s sleep schedule’s not so good either. Heh.

Wait, why do the wet socks bother me if my feet are fake? Why am I wearing socks over my prosthetics? I’m overthinking this. These little inconveniences sound fantastic, honestly. Carry on.

This art is insanely funny. Thank you!

Hmm, I like the song. It’s eerie, but nice, you know?

Oh, uh—

Hello, Moon. It’s me… Curly…

You look a lot like the Tulpar’s nighttime window screen if it were the real thing and not a glorified screensaver. Which I obviously know nothing about, being a humble fisherman and all. Hah.

Uh… So… Any good fish in these parts? I’m on a very noble sandwich-making quest. I’ll appreciate any help. Thanks, Moon.

God this is ridiculous. I love it.

Omgomfomg Rodger x Reader romantic headcanons please please please there is absolutely nothing in the x Reader community for Dandy’s World

Can you also throw in some domestic headcanons in there? (like headcanons for living together and stuff)

One more please and thank you so muchh :]

surprise, surprise, it’s me again coming in with my silly ideas thanks for the request! I’m on the verge of exploding from school stress, and I think writing some hcs helps distract me a little

—I want to start with something silly: you often steal his hat (the one he wears for investigating cases, ykyk) and team up with Toodles to create a little "missing hat" case.

—He keeps a small photo of you in his suitcase. <3 —Whenever you lose something, he’s the first to go looking for it.

—He doesn’t trust Dandy at all, so he’d rather not have you around that goofy flower.

—You have to explain to him not to be so... intrusive with other Toons—his questions can get a bit intense most of the time.

—He’s like an excited kid wanting to tell you every tiny detail about his latest investigation.

—He’s a GENTLEMAN. No one can tell me otherwise, you and Toodles are his top priorities.

—If you two ever argue, he’s always the first to apologize once the situation calms down, whether it was his fault or not.

—He stays up late trying to solve the mystery of the Ichor. Poor thing is determined to figure out how and why it all began. You have to guide him to bed before he passes out from exhaustion.

—You and Rodger are Toodles adoptive parents!

—On Father’s Day, you always prepare Rodger’s favorite meal, accompanied by a drawing from little Toodles.

—When Rodger is out on a run, you use the time to clean and organize everything—sometimes Rodger can be a walking mess.

—You take turns reading bedtime stories to Toodles every night.

—In public, he’ll hold your hand and such, but always in a "formal" manner.

—In private, though, he lets you smother him with physical affection.

—It might sound cliché (and I love it), but you always straighten his suit before he heads out on a run.

—As mentioned before, he’s not fond of too much physical contact in public, preferring to keep it low-key with the occasional hand-holding or kiss.

—His favorite moments after a run are spent with you and your adoptive daughter, simply enjoying your company (and Toodles’ spontaneous questions).

—Absolutely certain that Glisten gives him advice on dressing more formally, picking out gifts for you, and keeping the crystal on his magnifying glass sparkling.

—On his off days, he lounges in pajamas (yes, those wolf-print ones) with you all day, watching kids’ movies, comedies, or mystery/suspense films.

—He may be busy, but he’s excellent partner material and an amazing father figure (just make sure he fixes his sleep schedule).

Some Eggpire stuff, tw for body horror

sooo I wanted to dive into Skeppy and his recovery after dying in the lava I am soooo so normal about the eggpire arc and wrote a bit about it here:

When bad pushed him you could see the instant realization of pure unfiltered horror grace his features followed by him reaching out and almost grabbing Skeppy in time but just barely missing by an inch In shock he hesitated for a split second before lunging to scrabble through the lava pool for the peices (yes peices) of Skeppy, gaining the burn scars on his own arms (demons are resistant but not immune to lava damage) to eventually pull him out in a horrifying disfigured clump The first thing that caught his eye were the shimmer of Skeppy's diamonds spread over most of his (remeaining) skin as a defense attempt from his own body, and next, how Skeppy was staring at him with his eye while the spak in it started to die out The worst part was seeing how the vines on skeppy's skin started to creep and try to incase and consume him in his dying state Bad was able to apply a totem just before Skeppy's last bits of life ran out and carried his living but disfigured body from the egglair I can imagine how broken Bad would be like utterly speechless and horrified as he carried him and dont get me started on the other's reactions upon seeing them Bad sat by his bedside for months without eating but eventually left on his boat to look for any kind of reconstruction magic he could use to help Skeppy You see where I'm going with how indescribably traumatic this was for both of them and it never went away Bad still sees that face in his nightmares and Skeppy was left with the memory of quite literally dying and being bedridden disfigured and suffering for months After the whole mess of Bad killing several people they pretend like everything is all fine and dandy Bad is the last one with the egg's influence and Skeppy stabs and kills him with a sword & uses a totem to get rid of the last of it After both are physically healed and several months after the dsmp fell apart and the egg was gone, they decided to make the best of what happened to them both and it made their bond stronger than ever They are still not even close to recovering mentally and may never be Annnnd the cherry on top is them getting seperated bc of the qsmp.. like fucking imagine I need them together again rn I'm not even silly hahah goofy anymore I will die if they dont

Anywayyys yeah I love c!skephalo with all of my being and will continue to scream their story from the rooftops even if nobody gives a fuck anymore

[emmyrosee]

Hi!! I hope you’re feeling dandy 🌸

I was wondering how you think the miya twins would react to that tiktok trend of “waking my partner up in the middle of the night for a hug” 😫

WAIT THIS IS SO CUTE IM GONNA COMBUST HOLD ON-

Okay. Okay. OKAY WAIT-

With Osamu, it’s a lot more sweet. You settle on your knees for an effective way to nudge him awake. Starting with two Palms on his massive pec, you gently nudge, letting your pushes get more needy when he grunts and tries to stay asleep.

“‘Samu,” you whimper, and finally he smacks his lips and furrows his brows.

“What, angel?”

“Are you awake?” One sleepy, grey eye pops open to glare at you, and while you do snort at him, he sighs and shuffles softly to answer you.

“No,” he rasps. “I’m not. Why?” He closes his eye, but when he feels you nudge him again, he opens them, squinting softly as he tries to focus.

You’re pouting and you mewl softly which does make him a puddle of affection at how cute you look, “I want a hug… a ‘Samu hug.”

He laughs softly before opening both of his arms; you fall into them and purr at the familiar weight of them encasing around you. He squeezes you close and burrows you into the crook of his neck, and you gotta admit, even for this tiny little prank, it’s so comfortable.

“Okay,” you says promptly, pushing out of his hold in the middle of his yawn. “I’m good.”

“What?”

“Didn’t need to hug you anymore. Night babe.”

He watches you saltily as you make your way back to your side of the bed, curling under the covers and facing away from him to hide your grin. You hear him mumble something about ‘pain in my ass’ and ‘Fuckin’ grey hairs’ before he starts to drift back to sleep.

-

With Atsumu, you take the liberty of being a little more goofy, because he’s a little more goofy and he takes your chaos like a champ.

Gently sitting up and making your way to his side of the bed, where he’s nuzzled all comfortable against his pillows. He’s breathing softly, small smile eased on his cheeks in bliss, and you smile softly before promptly smacking your palm hard against his chest.

He jolts awake in shock, shaking his head around and looking wildly for the culprit until you toss yourself into his arms, his heart practically beating against your torso.

“Holy fuck you fucking scared me,” he says in one panicked breath, though his arms toss back around you in the hug. “Oh my god I almost shit my pants, why would you do that?”

“Wanted a hug,” you murmur, and he lets out a small ‘okay’ as you nuzzle closer to him. His hand gently rubs soothing circles on your back, his own head resting in the dip of your neck to cuddle you.

Even if this was to mess with him, he does feel so good as he cuddles into you.

With that, not 30 seconds later, you shove back out of his arms and leave the hug, making him gasp in fright once again.

“Okay. I’m good. Thanks babe.”

“Huh?”

You crawl back under your covers, “got what I needed, you’re a real one.”

This time, however, he’s the one who tugs you back into his arms, ignoring your yelp and he pulls you close to his chest and holding you like his life depends on it.

“‘Tsumu!” You giggle at the crushing, rolling your eyes when you hear a salty ‘nuh-uh’ in your ear.

“Go to sleep, wake me up again and I’ll fuckin’ tickle you ‘til you piss.”

Tempting, but you decide against anything else when he whines and burrows his nose in your hair, clearly sleepy and needing some affection.

“Fine,” you grumble. “I love you.”

“Mmmve youmn too.”

Atsumu was like. Fully inspired by this cute shit here 💅🏼

a fun littel way i like to write Johnny

it is VERY rare that the sunglasses come off. your character could literally slap them off his face or purposefully snatch them right off — and more often than not, there's still going to be a way for his shades to still be there. like he conveniently has another pair of sunglasses UNDER the sunglasses he was already wearing, or he has another pair in his pocket, or hell, stashed away in his hair! even when he sleeps, he wears a sleeping mask so you STILL wouldn't be able to see his eyes.

Johnny's a very cartoon-y character and typically any casual thread with him is going to include humor & jokes, at least from him, whether he's doing it intentionally or not. i sort of try to keep a steady mix of realism & cartoon humor with my version of Johnny, bc while he does have some very real Issues to sort through, he is still a comedic character in nature! angsty moments with Johnny can be pretty rare to come by honestly, because he actively avoids them. you decide to spill your heart out to Johnny, and expect him to comfort you? sorry, he's gonna get uncomfortable and give you the most nothing answers, try to make light of it, or even walk out on you completely. you tell him that you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him? jeez, that's a lot of COMMITMENT, yknow!!

but the sunglasses CAN come off every now and then, if the situation really calls for it. think of the shades as Johnny's "rose-tinted glasses" — okay, so they're obviously not ROSE-tinted in a literal sense, but you get the idea. it's for symbolic purposes! when the shades come off, that reflects Johnny looking at things for what they really are, rather than pretending that everything is fine and dandy like he normally would. he's more vulnerable without them, his true emotions are on display, and being exposed in that way is something Johnny is not used to at all. the shades are like a physical manifestation of his emotional walls; when they come off, so does Johnny's ego & pride.

but serious moments like that can be difficult to build up to with Johnny — like i said, he actively avoids them, and if there's one thing he's good at, it's slipping away when things get too serious. sooo.. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!! Johnny has what you could call "bystander syndrome." which is to say, if you are going through something, and Johnny doesn't feel he is close enough with you, his first thought to seeing your struggles is gonna be, "well, that sucks for them, but it's none of my business so i'm just not gonna get involved." and then he'll just move on and keep doing his own thing.

there ARE times when Johnny can get serious, if he really feels like he needs to, but it's just rare for him. he's a goofy & childish guy at heart, and that (probably) won't ever change too much.

Can you tell Viren is the only character I’m interested in)

I randomly thought about a post asking how Soren would feel knowing that Rayla hurt claudia in the way she did, and it got me thinking about how very little depth Soren’s character has regarding his family. Because I honestly believe Soren wouldn’t care and think Rayla has every right , and if she killed Claudia he wouldn’t feel all that much other than, she’s evil so she had to be stopped and move on. They’ll probably show a panel of him being sad for a second, but then he’s going to be happy and goofy and fine and dandy with Rayla because he doesn’t see her doing any wrong.(does he know Rayla is the cause of Virens death?)

And it got me thinking. Claudia and Viren are often characterized as doing anything for their family. (Even though it makes no sense when it comes to Viren). They’ll do anything for them. However Soren isn’t characterized that way. If Claudia is meant to take after Viren, is Soren meant to take after Lissa who left her family behind the same way Soren did and presumably never looked back?

We’re meant to think Viren loves his family including Soren, so presumably there were happy times with Soren and Viren right? There should be because the series wants me to think Viren loves him. So does soren not think about those times at all and that’s why it’s so easy for him to hate Viren and leave him and Claudia behind? The same way his mother presumably left because she didn’t like how far Viren would go for their family and could easily leave her children behind?

Why is it that Soren isn’t characterized as going far for his family? We know that Viren saved his life and we know that Claudia healed him from his paralysis. But we never see Soren going far for his family. And I don’t mean, killing the princess far, I mean, we don’t see him do for them the same way they do for him. We don’t see him saving their lives or healing them in any type

Of way at all. And no, I don’t mean he owes it to them. I mean, we don’t see Soren do anything for his family the same way we see his family do for him.

For example, we know how much Virens death affected Claudia, but yet Soren values his job as the kinds guard over wanting to make sure his sister is okay. Even if he hates Viren, he knows that Claudia doesn’t. So why are we not shown Soren caring about Claudia and how he knows how much Virens death would affect her? Wouldn’t him helping Claudia with bringing Viren back be more interesting than him being comic relief. Allowing him to actually have conflicting and nuanced feelings regarding Viren and how yeah, his father “abused” him, but that was still his father who he loved. It wasn’t always like that, his father did want him otherwise why would he save a child he didn’t want.

Even if you want to argue that Soren is leaving a toxic situation, are we saying that now Claudia was a bad sister to Soren? And that Soren shouldn’t want to be around Claudia now because… she loves her father? Was Claudia always toxic towards Soren the same way the series is saying Viren was always abusive to Soren and there was never any happy or good memories between them.

The lack of nuance concerning Sorens character is frustrating because Viren and his family were my favorite characters in the first two seasons. And then they decided to make soren a one dimensional abuse victim. And made Viren a one dimensional villain.

“I personally like it, but you do look silly like this.” Would work with with grumpy old men I think?

Since everything that's currently going on where I'm both stressed and depressed. I've decided to write about my grumpy old men from a request I've got a while ago to help me.  

Down Below is tame, mostly goofy besides some Implied body image issues and self esteem Issues. 

Inspired by this ask game by creativepromptsforwriting

Quentin wouldn't say he was up with recent fashion trends but he knew what was alright or what was truly ugly and to never be worn out in public.

"Hershell. As much as I do love you. This got to be the worst thing I've seen you pick out so far?"

So as he pulled out the said article of clothing in question from the rack where he can't help it to cringe. Very little was going for it to begin with but the single positive thing was it came in his size for once, cause in today's society they don't bother to glance your way. 

Quentin knew that very well. In the fashion industry nobody created for someone like him. For him to finally feel good or at the least be comfortable in his skin. 

"But you would look so good in it" However when he turned around to see Hershell, he gritted his teeth, realizing the other man was unaware of the obvious, "Please. For me?" 

Call him bitter to the extreme. He didn't really trust them. They often deliberately made their clothes too unseemly on his body, somehow set in making it his fault. So he's fine, dandy even in wearing what he has now.

"I know shopping isn't your favorite. It's not at all easy, I know that for sure myself but I think you deserve to look amazing. More than you do already" As if reading his mind, Hershell does lay off a little though keeps the shirt in hand. "It's up to you"  

Stiff, unsure on what to respond, Quentin is looking back at the shirt then up at the man, before inevitably tugging it from his grasp. 

"Oh. Give it to me. I'll try it out and show you it's horrendous" 

A low albeit surprised chuckle escapes from his partner. So used to his antics. "Uh huh. Go ahead. Be waiting here to see the final results" 

Midway in the sentence the dressing room door shuts closed behind Quentin who is sweating in the nerves alone. 

Why should he be so scared over such an item? 

It was a black Hawaiian button up shirt with small pineapples in the colors of neon pink, yellow and green. Once he slid it onto tense shoulders, he couldn't ignore the gut feeling within. Anxiously clawing at the fabric near his stomach, he should have chosen what was in his comfort zone but he didn’t as a thick headed, stubborn asshole. 

Finally Quentin shuffled out the dressing room, nearly five to seven minutes later swallowing his pride. 

Hershell is sitting in a spare seat, leant back, eyes up at the ceiling waiting for his return. 

"Here I am. Happy now" Quentin mumbles. 

Almost immediately Hershell's eyes snap to his then onto the shirt, "I personally like it, but you do look silly like this"

"Great. Just wonderful. I told you this is bullshit"

"I never said it's bad, Quincy. Nothing wrong in looking 'silly' rather you look cute. It suits you" Hersh cooes. His hands hovering over Quentin's sides. So tempted to give a gentle squeeze. "I must say this is my best choice. Floral, Hawaiian shirts do you well" 

"Despite it being ugly. Sure. It does" Quentin sarcastically remarks, rolling his eyes at the comment. 

"I gotta say you can rock anything if you put your mind in it" Chuckling, Hershell had bent down so he could plant a kiss on Quentin's lips. "You love it, don't you? Wear whatever to your heart's content, you big baby" 

Mildly confident Quentin did manage to pipe his opinion, equally as jokeful, "It's… Okay. I guess. Next time I'm going to pick out for you and you're not going to complain, got it? No matter what I pick" 

He will make sure to pick the most atrocious eye sore he can possibly find in this side of the country even if it kills him. "And we can wear it together on a date then. We can so be like those mushy couples who match outfits" 

"Don't even. So gross I can feel myself getting sick hearing such an idea"

❤️ I'll just leave this cute (I hope not so cheesy), true little love story here on tumblr. Without any reason, except it may perhaps be reflected in my GG fancomic: "SHARON'99".

So, there was this rather strange fellow, a classmate, back in primary school, not close, but acquainted with me and the bro. He was super cool, and genuinely kind to us.

Let's call him.."D".

When we had the chance, as a trio, we'd share PS1 games, zines, merch, and all that jazz. I was the shy, and uncool one. 😅

Then I get into my first anime, it was my world. The majority of my class could form a mob against anime-likers if they wanted too..but D approached me alone with interest. We took a look at the merch together in class, literally a huge table set up for just us in a corner. 😄

It was only for a brief time, but obvious enough to catch the attention of a few friends. I dismissed it as us just being friends, full stop.

but I realised later, there wasn't any discomfort, thinking of admitting it. Happiness overrode childish embarrassment. 😳✨️😊

Still, I was too uncool for him.

We went off to highschool, and went our separate ways..

College days come along, D and the bro attend the same place, and become cosplay buddies, D was Vincent Valentine from FF7. This bright red cape, frolicking down our rough home town. He inspires me to get into cosplay, and brave out the judgement.

I've met so many friends through the years with cosplay, and then discovered a love for Japanese Street fashion, expressing myself freely wearing my very own OTT coords, like Baiken, strutting down Takashita-dori, Harajuku. 😄🍑 It's been the best decade of my life.

(A missed opportunity to cosplay Lucrecia..?😅❤️)

We speak again, alone, only briefly on a quiet ass bus journey, and D breaks into hysterics, admits to jokingly thinking we should hop off the bus in motion, on a moving truck in the other lane, and surf it with the terminator 2 score. I look, and burst out laughing myself, this guy is bat shit crazy.

STILL DAMN IT, I was still bloody uncool and quiet around him afterwards. To this day, there is regret being like that. I wish I had opened up, spoken to him, and spent more time with him. ❤️

He's always been there, this daft, goofy, hilarious, determined and yet gentle guy, who never put a foot out of place whenever I was around him. Even when we were kids, and kids can be cruel lil' b**tards. 🤣🤣

Respectfully, I still admire him, and it's a treasure.✨️

I believe he's well and dating a lovely gal, even engaged now? I'm happy to know that he's happy, living life at its best. 😊✨️⭐️🦇❤️

So, the moral of my little story: be kinder to yourself, and don't be your own prison. Shine brightly, be free, and Dandy!😊✨️

End* 🤪✨️😊

[questionableresponses]

So, I (mostly) watched the recently found lost American dub of Legend of Prince Rama renamed to Prince of Light (which you can watch here). What intrigued me was Bryan Cranston, aka Walter fucking White playing Rama and James Earl Jones (Mufasa and Darth Vader) was the narrator. When I check the Lost Media Wiki for info I found that they cut the movie from 2 hours 11 minutes to about 1 hour 26 minutes (LMW states its about 39 minutes of cut stuff) and boy it was baaaaaad. Also, some scenes were swapped around wtf??. It felt like just watching an animated Adipurush really, the Americans fucked it up. Full rant/review under the cut to save your screen (image descs contain commentary). Lots of swearing be warned because I have emotions about this.

Part 1: The story stuff and emotional stuff

Alright first off, the intro got changed. It's no longer the cool ancient carving style and instead has clips from the movie with a weird ass border. Which is like fucking stupid you're spoiling moments and like it makes it feel low budget. Also, the scene of Maricha and gang fighting Rama and Lakshman was not included in the movie. The intro fails to tell about Ayodhya, Lanka, Dasharatha, just the fucking set up of the story (a lot of Hindu elements were cut out too :( damn you American Christians).

Vishvamitra and the brahmins getting attacked is the same and dandy with Vishvamita's prayer being a lot more Christian inspired (saying lord of the heavens above or something). Title screen got changed.

Ok now here is where it gets weird. They skip the showcasing of Ayodhya, showcasing of Rama and Lakshman, literally the entire Tataka fight is fucking gone, a key defining moment of Rama, it's his first fight and well kind of establishes him as the protector of Dharma! Infact, the first scene to introduce Rama was Sita's swayamvar. It makes so sense. 1. it does not establish Rama's character, he does not speak even a word (for whole 7 minutes too) 2. why would the audience care about this? It tells us nothing about our main heroes

Rama receiving the divine weapons comes immediately after because "he is of age now" (literally what). It feels out of place and serves no purpose with the cuts made.

Kaikeyi's whole thing was cut and glossed over and framed weirdly (with the close up of Manthara which makes it look like she is her). They frame her as being jealous instead of Manthara poisoning her. Then the narrator states that Dasharatha had to choose between love for his son and love for his wife and he chose his wife when that's not what happened?? Everyone who knows Ramayana knows Dasharatha was bound by his dharma and was forced to, dying from heartbreak because of it (and the curse but not relevant rn). Also Dasharatha never dies which is weird. And uhhhh why is the "Rama, why don't you blame me? Why don't you have a grudge against me?" line kept when he clearly chose his wife over him in this version?? The emotional dialogues of Dasharatha wishing for Rama to return, interactions between Rama, Kaushalya, and Kaikeyi were cut. This is just part 1 of the emotion sucking mother fuckers. Bharat meeting Rama and disowning Kaikeyi was cut :/

THEY CUT THE FUCKING PANCHAVATI SONG IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG WHY

They keep adding shitty ass fucking songs and new soundtrack. Maricha's dramatic screaming is certainly an uptake from his weird moaning as he died. Weirdly cut Sita having to convince Lakshman to go after Rama after hearing "his" cry for help (he just up and leaves after Sita says he needs help. After making the rekha ofc). Also, nitpicky but, Lakshman doesn't call Sita 'sister'. It just feels odd,,, he respects her a lot yet calls her by her name??? I dunno man (Bhabhi is the best word but English sucks ok sister is the best we got).

Why the fuck is Rama threatening to pick Ravan's teeth out with his bones, Sri Ramachandra would not say that 😭Anyway Jatayu's death was delivered in a goofy way.

Why is Kabandha making puns, no he was not cursed by Ravan, Kabandha never told Rama that in exchange of freeing him from his curse he would answer one question. No Kabandha was not a threat to the vanars and their food??? That's so weird??? No mention of Vali, no Rama and Sugriva swearing friendship, Rama being emotional over Sita's ornaments was trimmed down (it was a touching scene). They also cut the swearing friendship scene WHICH WAS A GOOD SCENE. Weird ass vanars trying to find Sita montage (it sucked the music was fucking ass). WHY DID THEY MAKE JAMBHAVANT THE PERSON TO CURSE HANUMAN/LOCK HIS POWERS AWAY?????

RAM DOOT HANUMAN WAS CUT WHY ARE THEY CUTTING BANGERS

One line that I thought was funny "hope they know how to set bones in Lanka because they're about to have an epidemic"

Kumbha: breaths fire American!Hanuman: oh looks like someone's been eating spicy food again! Why....

The entire Lanka Dahan was painful. "the party's just starting to heat up!" 😭😭😭

Rama did not pray for 11 days and oh they transsed Varuna's gender, interesting.

THEY FUCKED UP SETU BANDHAM WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE SONG

THEY FUCKED UP THE FIGHT MONTAGE SONG WITH THE RAKSHASAS AND VANARS THAT SHIT WAS HYPEEEEEE WHY DID YOU TRIM IT

Fucking cutting all the important dialogue. They trimmed down on the Good Ksatriya vs Good human speech. Literally one of the best scenes and they fucked it up.

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY REMOVE THE NEEL VS PRAHASTHA FIGHT IT'S LIKE ONE OF THE BEST ONES LIKE COME ON

The Sugriv and Kumbha fight was intact, which I am grateful for because it's a favourite of mine, but they changed the soundtrack and cut out his talk with Nikumbha after :/ like what did the Americans have against characters being characters. They changed the order of Nikumbha's death and Kumbhakarn's awakening and like in doing do they cut the scene that traumatised me (LOOK I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FREAKED OUT SEEING NIKUMBHA WITH THE AXE IN HIS CHEST CALLING OUT FOR HIS FATHER OK). Also not Hanuman telling him he has bad breath 😭

Oh and this bit of gold "yOU stAnD nO ChaNCe AgAinSt mE i'M a tRaIneD aSsAsSin" - Nikumbha 2001

The bit that kind of got me laughing was when Angad confronts Ravan and says "say your prayers shorty" like isdcbjsdbcdsjh WHO WROTE THIS SCRIPT??? (Dawg I wish I could clip this shit because oh my god there is so much that you all just have to see. Defo clipping Hanuman's bad puns and jokes)

Thank fucking god Rama's Attack on Titan moment was kept intact. Tho Bryan Cranston saying Kumbhakarn was like both funny and painful "Kumbhakernnnnn" HELP. Also why did they cut the slave freeing scene???

They butchered the illusory Sita being stabbed scene. They removed the set up for it (Hanuman and Angad getting shot) and Indrajeet taunting Rama. I mean at least they didn't censor it I guess??? Two things were funny tho, Bryan over acting Rama's reaction, and Lakshman shouting "coward" at Indrajeet and getting shot immediately after like dawg they even edited his mouth to move (does take away from the scene emotionally tho as in the original he comes in front of Rama to protect him while here it just seems like he wants to start a fight which yeah in character I guess). I find it impressive that they turned the moments that always gives me anxiety to the point of chest pain into something I fucking laughed at. Kudos.

Another thing I should clip. Indrajeet saying father weirdly. It was so drawn out and airy and just talking about his plan like shut the fuck up dude talk normally😭

Now this choice was weird. You know how after Sugriv gets the news that there are no more herbs in the area and none of them work on Indrajeet's arrows and Rama starts to get depressed about the apparent death of his wife and critical state of his brother but Vibishnan is like "naw dude Sita is alive my nephew just knows magic" and Jambhavant is like "just go to Nepal they got stuff there". Well, they changed the fucking order FOR NO REASON. So now it goes, Sugriv finds out there are no herbs (no mention of Indrajeet's arrows) -> Jambhavant talks about the Himalayas -> insert shitty Hanuman montage with new song plus flashbacks -> Rama laments about his wife and brother and Vibishan is like "nah dude my nephew just a tricky bitch".

That makes no fucking sense. This just makes it confusing. Even I was confused and I've seen the movie millions of times.

Removed the landmark scene and of course obligatory Hanuman pun :/ (deadass will learn editing just so I can compile all of them). They completely cut out Hanuman praying for the protection of Lakshman and asking keep to keep up his fight for life and referring to him a s brother??? It was a sweet thing and I guess because of this they cut out Rama calling Hanuman his brother. Also cut out Rama comforting Lakshman like bro what did they have against characters having more emotional moments and interacting with each other??? Nitpicky but they cut out Hanuman smiling after the animals run down the hill and startle the other vanars. They also don't show the vanars going up the hill and fetching the herbs or applying them to Lakshman's wound he just wakes up???? Like nothing happened he just immediately stopped dying.

Hey at least Lakshman vs Indrajeet was mostly intact I would've killed them if they did anything drastic (like with Rama vs Ravan), but they did remove the banter and Indrajeet parrying arrows. Ok now the final fight, the big one. Shitty montage/song. Please I wanted to put cheese graters in my fucking ears and then pour hand sanitiser. They removed the Ravan head cutting bit (well more censored it) and like yeah that scene have me trauma as a kid but it is PART of the experience. Censored/trimmed Ravan getting sliced by the chakra. Also the chakra has no meaning now that they removed it from the intro. It came out of nowhere. It was set up perfectly and they botched it. Oh who am I kidding they botched the whole fucking movie.

Part 2: oh my fucking God the voices

Why the hell does Rama sound a soft boy uwu type who was shy in high school and is a nerd. Bryan you did not eat here. He over acted or under acted

Why is Lakshman's VA over doing his dialogue like he is putting wayyyy too much energy.

Sita's just sounds,,, like a mother of two kids but she delivered her lines mostly well I guess (her screams were impressive I will say it does seem like she's putting herself in the scene)

Hanuman was made way too fucking goofy. He was saying shitty ass puns bro and jokes (seriously, bad breath and spicy food jokes? Bajrangbali would never). Usually he's made too serious, never really too goofy. James Earl Jones was a shitty narrator I'm sorry. How did he go from Darth fucking Vader to this (I don't mean to disrespect a recent dead man but seriously).

Pretty much everyone over or under acted in areas.

Part 3: closing notes

It was painful, it deadass felt like Adipurush with the story changes made and story elements cut. What kind of crushed me was the lack of emotional moments. It really felt like nothing was achieved, everything kept moving fast, it felt like there was no character development. It just, sucked. How do you take such a great film and just do that. Furthermore, they basically stripped most of the Hindu elements in the film like the word Om isn't said much at all for starters. Anyway fellow Bhakts and chuckle fucks have fun with this shit. Watch it if you want but it is a massive shit show. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk this review took more than a day to make and I avoided doing my 2000 word essay for this (funilly enough this is 2000 words itself).

[fawnatrix]

Alright, it's the final day. I've come to spread some propaganda because this poll has been at a stand-still since the moment it opened, basically.

I'm pulling out the leopard print suit out of retirement to make my pitch like a door to door salesman. I firmly believe that Shunsui deserves to win this poll.

Attractiveness is, of course, subjective, but to start I'd like to show some images of Shunsui, because he's very handsome and I love him.

Look at him. He is very gorgeous to me.

I will admit that Shunsui's opponent, Renji Abarai, is an attractive man; but in sheer comparison, to me, he just cannot beat Shunsui. As my good mutual and fellow Shunsui-supporter @zanguntsu says in this post, "...yes renji is attractive but like hes still a dolphin of a man up against a truck"- a sentiment that I firmly support and stand by.

Shunsui is also incredibly silly- he's so silly. Looking for images I came across one of my favourite moments of his again, from the Soul Society arc.

He's so stupid. He's so stupid and silly and wonderful. He's goofy and fun and he wears pink and he's a dandy and he's got a weird gay thing going on with his best friend. And he's built like a bear with tits wider than he is tall. He's old as fuck- huge dilf energy. He has a traumatic backstory that haunts him, he loses everyone he loves, but he's still so silly and fun. And he's a whore!! He's a huge flirt, he's constantly bantering back and forth with his (always male) opponents- that's slut behaviour!!

He's one of the most babygirl Bleach characters of all time; he deserves this win so bad.

Look at him!!! just a little guy,,,

Shunsui deserves to win this poll, and the fact that it's been so 50/50 pretty much the entire time is insane to me. As the poll comes to a close- currently, as I write this, there are only about 20 hours left- I wanna thank my fellow Shunsui supporters @zanguntsu, @malewife-urahara and @dykeza, as well as all the Shunsui voters in the notes leaving very, very funny tags. You guys are hilarious, and I love that we can all come together like this to try and campaign for our favourite guy. Even if he doesn't win, Shunsui will still be the Bleach Sexyman in all of our hearts, and I love that.

The Final Round of the Seireitei Sexyman Tournament: WHO WILL WIN?

It’s been such an incredible tournament with a lot of delays, but now it is time for the final round, winner takes all.

In one corner, we have Captain Shunsui Kyoraku, a longtime member of the 13 Court Guard Squads. His laidback and sexy ways have captured the hearts of many throughout the Seireitei.

In the other corner, we have Lieutenant Renji Abarai, a relatively new Soul Reaper who has only recently made it to Lieutenant. His incredible physique and numerous tattoos make him quite a catch.

And now it is time to final find out…

hi, happy storyteller saturday! (now that we're friends, I'd love to call you Lucent, and maybe Lucy for short OR Blaze)

assign birds to each of your characters (please show pictures)

Curious about where the nicknames come from (was this meant for another user?), but I’m happy to be friends!

And birds are fun so!

Ash and Zach would be a pair of parrots, or parrot-adjacent. Cockatoos have Zach’s color scheme, and African Grey parrots have Ash’s. Plus, I like that those birds have the same like “goofy and serious sun/moon pair” appearance while both being pretty intelligent.

Mal and Olu both have wings already, but I will say that Nora would also be a parrot, but simply because of those green parrots that fly around San Francisco (where she lives). There’s pictures in the article!

For the larger casts, let’s put those under a read-more bar lol

THE SOLE GANG

You can meet most of them here!

Dr. Agau is an albatross, and so is Beth. Beautiful ocean birds that are fuzzy and weird as babies, but beautiful and intimidating as adults.

You may know this picture of them from an old tumblr post saying as much.

Hans’s wings have always been modeled after a hawk. If pressed for specifics, probably the red-tailed hawk, I like their stripes.

Christian would be a brown falcon; nothing flashy, but known as one of the species of “firehawks” in its native Australia for its habit of showing up after field fires to hunt displaced animals

Matt would be a black wheatear, because that’s what Google says is the strongest bird (relative to their bodyweight). I didn’t want to make him a bird of prey, since he’s not as pro-fighting as other characters, and he is also the shortest of the group. A teeny bird fits him best.

Hallie would be a peregrine falcon, for hopefully obvious reasons. Fastest bird. Next.

And Michael would be a raven. Intelligent, dark color palettes, often found in pairs as opposed to a larger flock like crows. 

FLOAT

If you don’t know the FLOAT crew, see here <3

Aspen would have to be a seagull. But maybe not your average dirty seagull, maybe one with dignity? Like the “great black-backed gull.”

River was a tough one, but I finally landed on a great cormorant, because they’re the ocean birds that dive underwater, and she ends up as the diver for the crew!

Dandy would be a pelican, because she’s the ship chef and they have that whole mouth thing going on. Dirt, the lookout, would be one of those sandy pipers, because they can move so fast.

Venus, the first mate, would be a Magnificent Frigatebird, because look at them. Vera, the medic, would be a puffin, because I feel it would be remiss not to have one.

The twins, Brook and Blossom, would be a pair of swans. I know they’re not ocean birds, but it just fits them best.

Frigatebird, alone, bc I love how they look

Have Your Sake & Drink It, Too

Inspired by https://archiveofourown.org/works/33226927 by kae_karo

Ayato (A) looks drastically different when you compare his hobo self to his noble one. It's like night and day; so, forgive everyone who didn't connect the two. Ayaka (O) and Thoma (O) were just so happy to have their loved one back. The loss of his Vision was regrettable, tho. The Kamisato elders, on the other hand, are just relieved that they don't have to keep pretending the Yashiro Commissioner was severely ill and not missing for x-amount of yrs.

With only one set of memories now, Ayato doesn't remember Kazuha (O) or the love they'd shared. There's just one love in his life, and that's Thoma, his childhood sweetheart whom he promised to marry despite the elders' vehement protests. Thus, there're no issues between anyone important when they tie the knot after the Sakoku and Vision Hunt Decrees are abolished, though Kazuha's unable to attend the ceremony for Thoma's sake. He's out on an expedition with the Traveler. The End—this chapter comes to a close.

X-amount of yrs later, and two things kickstart a downward spiral into discord: 1) Ayato regains his other set of memories as "Tomo," and he spurs himself into looking for Kazuha; and 2) Thomato are childless; thus, the Kamisato clan lacks an heir, which the elders use to further criticize the couple's marriage.

When he reveals himself as both Ayato and Tomo, everyone who knows him as either is startled, and they all have this look on their faces that says they know something he doesn't. He, of course, asks what's wrong, and his mate and sister tell him that Kazuha'd been pregnant and has a son called Yura (悠良). He smiles, albeit sadly, at the news but is glad Tomo's lover was living well. "I see," he says. "So, who's the lucky alpha?" Thoma and Ayaka just exchange looks, like they can't believe he can't connect the dots.

Ayaka opens her mouth first, "Brother, Kazuha-san's not been with anyone since, well, you." She gestures to him.

"Just me?"

"Just you."

"Then, that means—" They can see the gears in his head turning. "Princess, he- I- WE HAVE A SON!" Everyone and Ei in her Plane of Euthymia could hear him.

"Yeah," says Thoma, "now we don't have to make any formal announcement or anything; you just screamed it to the whole of Inazuma!" He rubs his ears in discomfort and shoots a pointed look at his mate, who shrinks under his gaze.

"Sorry, sorry, but this's exciting news, isn't it?" Ayato grins his signature goofy grin while blushing.

"Mmhm." Cut him some slack; it's not everyday that your alpha finds out he has a love child w/ one of your own friends and is more than happy about it. (The average married person would probably feel the same.) Try as he might like the kind person he is, though, Ayato fails to put his mind at ease in terms of their marriage's stability, which is further disturbed by the actions of the elders following this incident. How they found out about their clan head's love child is anyone's guess, but most blame the man himself and his big mouth.

One morning, they summon Ayato to a meeting and discuss the future of the Kamisato household. Not unusual since that's what they've been pestering Thomato about since the day they got married, but when they bring up "this Yura boy they've been hearing about," it's like a sudden slap to the face. "His mother is the last living Kaedehara, is he not?" one elder asks.

"There're rumors that Yura-kun looks much like Young Master," says another. Don't tell Thoma, but Ayato really likes the sound of that.

The old ppl go back and forth w/ their comments that range from praises about his looks to compliments about his temperament, and that's all fine and dandy. Ayato wants his family to like his son with Kazuha, but he knows they're leading up to one thing: the Kamisato heir. They're not going to speak ill of his bastard or his bastard's mother b/c they want him to bring Yura into the clan.

They want him to legitimize him. If he makes Kazuha a second consort while he's at it, why not? The elders' only concern is that the son who inherits his title is wholly Inazuman and of purely noble blood. (Forget the fact that the Kaedehara clan is long gone.) A bastard who has all those traits is considered far more suitable than a legitimate child that's half-Mondstadtian and whose mother's a servant. What's more, if the human fossils get their way, Kazuha is eligible to replace Thoma as Lord Consort of the Kamisato Clan. It's the perfect way to add insult to injury.

The result of the meeting has a correspondence delivered to Kazuha, asking for his presence at the Kamisato Estate, signed by Ayaka. Ayato's name would imply official business awaits him, and while there are important things to be discussed, they want everything to sound as friendly as possible. Her brother might find himself knocked out on the floor if he steps on Kazuha's toes while he's already tense. Believe her, she's seen the absolute beast her fellow omega becomes when someone acts against his son, and by extension, himself. She likes her brother alive, thank you.

I think y'all can guess what the whole story is by now. It's about a custody battle w/ politics, which I'm really bad at, and a love triangle feat. Thomatozuha. Who's the winner, who's the loser? Are they all winners, all losers? Idk. I didn't think that far.

✌ Peace.

Afterthoughts:

I've realized that Yura doesn't sound as nice w/ Kamisato as it does w/ Kaedehara; so, a good alternative, I think, is Hajime (肇).

I feel like a silly person b/c I’ve recently discovered that AyaThoma does not, in fact, refer to Ayaka x Thoma; it’s the alternative name for Thomato that denotes bottom!Thoma.
