Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better
I was tagged by @transboyzuko, and it's been a minute since I've done anything like this so here goes:
Three Ships: RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, HMHS Britannic. The only three Olympic-class ocean liners ever built by Harland & Wolff for the White Star Line. Titanic's story is well-known, of course. Britannic was a hospital ship in World War I until she hit a mine in the Aegean and sank. Olympic's career lasted 24 years before she was retired and sold for scrap. Why do I know this? Because I have a morbid fascination with maritime disasters.
First Ever Ship: Heero Yuy/Duo Maxwell. I grew up watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing on Toonami, and these boys were my bias. I still hold this fic up as one of the best I've ever read. Although, thinking about it, my first actual ship was probably Sirius Black/Remus Lupin via The Shoebox Project by dorkorific and ladyjaida, which I first read on Livejournal. But that was less something I actively shipped and more a ship I actively enjoyed.
Last Song: Hypomania, by Coping Method. My music taste currently vacillates between dance pop/electronica and heavy metal.
Last Film: Uh. Fuck, I dunno. I don't watch a lot of movies anymore. I did do a double Barbenheimer over the summer, though.
Currently Reading: So This Is Ever After by F. T. Lukens and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, but progress has been slow. Just prior to starting them both I devoured the Simon Snow trilogy, though, so maybe I just have poor time management skills.
Currently Watching: myself age by steady increments. I also don't watch a lot of TV or streaming series, although that's less from lack of desire to watch and more from being busy with other things. Well, I have been watching Money, Explained, but that's for work and does not therefore count.
Currently Consuming: I'm between hyperfixations at the moment. I have been working my way through Bret Devereaux's collected blog posts on the Battle of Helm's Deep to cope.
Currently Craving: rice. And the next part of Dog's In Love 2. But I can get rice.
I guess I'll tag some folks. Do I even interact with you people enough for this? I'unno. Let's go with: @chiptrillino, @lizardlicks, @three-lesbians-of-the-apocalypse, @schrodingers-bisexual, @deliciousstrawberrythings, @portraitoftheoddity, @sixseisliu, @persnickety-peahen, and @astrababyy
#i'm literally so bad at doing these qna type of things omgggg#excuse my boringness#i just don't consume a lotta media pfft

sooo funny how my parents worried that i was too boring as a child so they carefully and intentionally told me things like 'routines are boring!' and 'it's more fun to break the rules' and 'doing chores is NOT fun, it sucks'. didn't make me not boring but did make me anxious and self loathing about my natural boring tendencies and led me to create a needlessly dysfunctional life in which i was too overwhelmed by "fun" things and too ashamed to do "boring" things which mostly just meant i've done fuck all
#dan.txt#me: my room is a mess. i want to clean it.#the version of my mother that lives in my head: no no cleaning is boring you shouldn't WANT to do it you should HAVE to do it.#me: oh right sry yeah i guess i'll let it get messy enough that it seems like a chill laid back chick lives here instead of me#not that these were conscious thoughts but it really genuinely has Been Like That for basically my whole life#they started 'correcting' my boringness when i was a toddler and that's my excuse for why it took me this long to question it lol#boring = bad has been in my head so long i didn't realize it was implanted there instead of naturally grown

Despite being a Nandermo shipper, in the end I really wanted Guillermo to have experienced a happy, normal and loving relationship. Because our boy deserved some of good stuffs happening to him after being fucking shipped into a crate across a fucking ocean !
Of course it couldn't work in the long run, because he is a murderer that want to become a blood sucking monster... And also is extremely co-dependent with Nandor and all that. But he could have had a little treat ! I thought that the downfall of the relationship would be the incompatibility of it with his chosen lifestyle, or him realising that when compared to Nandor Freddie was bland / not exciting at all.
But no ! In the end Freddie is just a freaking cheater that doesn't really care about Guillermo and their relationship ! I am pretty sure even the flight to New-York was more of an excuse to have a free guide while being a tourist than to actually be with Guillermo.
I agree that with the casualness with which he cheated on Guillermo it's highly likely that he cheated before Nandor and his clone ... And again super sad for Guillermo.
I was right on the blandness / boringness of the guy though. My god that roomba joke was terrible.
Can't wait for Nandor getting the stick out his ass, realise how in love in Guillermo he is and worshipping the hell outta him. It's what our boy deserves !
See, with the preface that I really do adore Guillermo and he’s probably my favorite character on tv… I was not rooting for him to have a healthy relationship with a normal guy who loves him! I do not think he deserves that, I do not think he’s capable of that, and I do not think that he even truly wants that, though he obviously thinks he does.
What I think I wanted was for Guillermo to attempt to have this relationship with this genuinely nice man who respected him, but then to realize that he’s just not capable of maintaining a normal relationship. What I love most about Guillermo is that he truly believes he’s the only normal one in the room — but he’s just as crazy as the rest of them. He’s always looking into the camera like he fully believes he’s the straight man (…so to speak) in this situation! And I adore it when they cut directly from Guillermo being like “haha, they’re so crazy” to him doing something twice as insane himself.
You do not fool the camera crew, Guillermo, and you do not fool me!
I wanted this truly nice guy to come visit and I wanted it to go to absolute hell. I wanted this man to find out that Guillermo had been lying to him like he breathed this entire time, or maybe get put in terrible danger due to Guillermo’s lifestyle, or even just realize that he was dating a literal serial killer and leave. I wanted Guillermo to have to confront the fact that he gave up his chance at normal well over a decade ago and that he is well and truly one of the household — with all of the awful things that implies about him.
Guillermo really acts like he’s above the vampires while seemingly wanting to join them, and I wanted him to have to confront that he is where he belongs and that all of the awful things that happen to him are a direct result of his own choices — but so are all the good things.
I also would have been very chill with Guillermo getting bored with his very normal man and realizing that he craves the chaos and challenge of the vampiric world. But that really would have been the same situation, or even one that could be combined with the first… It’s still just Guillermo coming to realize that he is too far removed from humanity to reintegrate into it whenever he pleases. More importantly, it's him being forced to accept that he is the one who removed himself.
I guess, in the end, I ship nandermo because I believe that both of them are disasters that truly deserve each other, for better or for worse. They both have bags upon bags of issues, but their issues intersect in largely complementary ways. (Which is, I think, how they ended up becoming so codependent in the first place.)
I do also think that once they finally get their heads out of their asses and get together, some of their issues will mellow out considerably (the abandonment issues, lying, lack of trust, an almost pathological need to be needed, etc.) while others will be uhhhh… exacerbated. (Violent tendencies, jealousy, possessiveness, tunnel vision, etc.) I feel like they’ll be an unholy terror together and I am unbelievably here for that. They will worship at the altar of each other’s issues and then go out murdering together and the world is not prepared at all. lmao
but yeah, I fully agree about how bland and disappointing Freddie turned out to be. (And that he probably just wanted to visit NYC, not Guillermo specifically.) Real missed opportunity imo but like. I ain’t the show runner, I just write self-indulgent fanfic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(……..and yes I am fully writing a fic now that deals with all these issues. lmao)

Did you watch the live action Mulan? If you do, what are honest thoughts about it?
Uhh, kinda? I tried to watch it but kinda zoned out at one point and got distracted with my computer with how boring the film was really. Like, that was the film in general to me: boring as shit. At least with Beauty And The Beast 2017, also a bad live action remake, I could pay attention. Here, its like, you could fall asleep during this. And like, for a movie claiming to be adapting the original Mulan while staying accurate to the ballad, they really failed on both ends. Mulan is not like either Mulan’s in the animated and ballad, she’s literally a card board cut out whose emotionless a-lot and for some reason has magic/powers??? When chi isn’t even a power thing or gendered like this film makes it out to be??? And it feels like a slap in the face to both animated and ballad Mulan: they had to train without powers and proved their worth in the end based on their strength and mind, but Mulan even as a kid in this film was parkouring on roofs. Oh and this movie Mulan sucks at secrets- remember the panic we felt with how animated Mulan got discovered only to be relieved she didn’t get killed? Here she just, listens to the witch about hiding who she is and....ditches the armor that can protect her just so she can run into battle as a girl. Like....really???? That’s the most stupidest move yet to pull and film acts like its empowering.
Oh, speaking of the witch....WHERE IS SHE FROM- like, why did we need the witch??? She was not in the ballad even, so why??? So we can have more of the movies poor attempt at girl power messaging??? Like movie, you fucking failed with how Mulan’s sister- who was useless to the plot basically beyond fucking up Mulan’s match-making thing and yet Mulan got the blame- is going to bring honor to the family by marrying, aka fulfilling what a women is meant to do back then. And her powers are sooo fucking confusing- you telling me the witch could turn into various birds one scene but in her death scene, she just...turns into one bird and takes the shot when she could have turned into multiple birds and had one of the birds take the shot??? And they really shitted on the ending of animated and ballad Mulan: Mulan didn’t want a position with the emperor, she just wanted to go home by the end, leading to the best scene in animated movie where the dad says the greatest honor is having her as a daughter, putting aside other items that would give him honor just so he can hug her. But not allowed in this movie: we don’t get ANY emotions in Mulan reuniting with her family and...then she’s offered AGAIN the position in the emperor’s army thing and movie implies she’ll take it, like....wow.
Also this movie and the fucking phoenix, WHAT WAS THE POINT- I do understand Mushu being removed, I really do, but a phoenix is a western thing and it makes no sense in this film and unlike Mushu, it doesn’t do shit beyond fly above Mulan in some scenes and shit. Way to make me miss Mushu, film. Oh and grandma’s gone....but we got....boring and pointless sister in her place who....I repeat: is the one who messed up Mulan’s matchmaker thing. Mulan was doing fine but when the sister finally spotted the spider....the MATCHMAKER kicked the table and shit and Mulan caught all the china in a graceful manner, but....it’s apparently Mulan’s fault....yeah uh, way to make the animated scene make more sense in comparison. And then we got the replacements for Shang....barley remember what general guy does beyond....being a general, but uh, Mulan and the random soldier boy really have zero chemistry and are bland as fuck and it makes sense why movie couldn’t end on them cause really??? They nothing in comparison to Shang and Mulan. And the lack of songs did not help this movies boringness. Its not even excused by historical accuracy cause soldiers do go into battle singing sometimes. And if we can get the other live actions singing, why can’t this one??
And outside of the film, you have obviously the fact that Disney shot some scenes....near a location that China is committing genocide in. And I think Disney’s brain was on vacation at the time of doing the credits, cause they THANKED the genocide people for letting them film. Disney really just looked away from people fucking dying for a couple of shots in their shitty film when they could have clearly just made the sets on their own somewhere else. Plus you got the fact that Mulan would be ashamed of her live action actress with how the actress supported the police during the Hong Kong protests, aka basically supporting the police being brutal with the protestors. And Disney still kept her hired...so guess Disney is chill with that too.

Mr Watts P2
TV SHOW THE QUEENS GAMBIT COUPLE: BENNY X READER RATING: SEXY ISH
I sat getting ready for my first class making notes about what I was going to do today looking at the students all coming through with their books and such most not looking happy to be here all as I expected whiny little nerds like you see at any chess tournament I don’t get why this would be a problem for anyon- whoa…. Hello. I looked into the doorway and saw a girl, she had little white sneakers, the black thigh high socks with two white stripes around her thighs, a red plaid skirt that didn’t even reach the top of her socks and stopped around her waist, a white button-down shirt with pens in her pockets, a red and black cardigan with NYU sewn across the breast pocket, she had perfect makeup and her hair pulled back with a red Alice band pushing back her hair, the busy curls clearly backcombed she looked like a model, like a picture in a magazine.
“Excuse me, is this the History of chess class?” she asks sweetly holding her books
“Uhhh yes, yes it is. Take a seat… miss?” he asks
“Y/l/n, y/n y/ln” she smiled going to a seat right at the front
“Be- Watts. Mr watts. And uhh If that’s everyone we should get started” I nodded trying to get back on topic, I uhhh I get it now.
I sat at my desk as everyone in class was reading the book I told them too while I was making some notes on last weeks worksheet marking them all doing my best at the mind-numbing boringness of this task, I glanced up to keep an eye on the class instantly my eyes met y/n, she blushed a little and giggled a little going back to her work as her eyes returned to the book she crossed her leg over her thigh flashing a lot of leg as her skirt had been tugged up quiet a bit so much I could see a little black lace of her panties, I looked away focusing back on my work.
I sat at my desk going over some marking my god these guys are dumb I heard a knock at my door “Come in” I sighed
“Mr Watts? Could I have a word with you?” y/n smiled as she came in
“Of course y/n, come in” I told her
she opened the door in her little white jumper and blue plaid dress with little fishnet tights "Hi Mr Watts" she smiled
"Hi, What did you want?"
"I wanted to see if you had time to explain something to me" she smiled
"Of course what are you struggling with?" I asked she smiled and came over standing very close to me putting her book down showing me what she was struggling with, I explained it to her as best I could I did my best not to look at her as if I turned to look at her I could see right down her shirt, her lavender perfume very strong as she was so close to me "That better?"
"Yeah that's much better Mr watts" she smiled picking her book up "Thank you Mr watts" she smiled playfully waving as she left my office
I looked and saw a bit of paper on my desk I went to call her but she was already gone I grabbed the paper and unfolded it seeing the line of numbers and the little heart "Ohh... fuck. she likes me." I sighed ".... I'm gonna lose my job over that damn girl and her skirt arent I?"

why elain hate doesn’t make any logical sense
a tiktok just showed up on my fyp where an acotar fan said something like “i want Elain’s arc to be death... she’s irrelevant” and I’m so over it. like someone please tell me what Elain is supposed to have done to get all this hate?? (besides having chemistry with az which has nothing to do with her character). So far Elain’s role has been as a background character to Feyre and Nesta’s stories just like how in Nesta’s story, Feyre wasn’t featured much because she had already had three books. And how in Feyre’s, Nesta was still a side character (who at the time people weren’t too keen on either) with hints dropped because her story was yet to be told. It’s almost like, if the book isn’t from Elain’s pov, then she’s not gonna be in it that much??? So why do some fans expect “boring” Elain to have done so much more when the truth is her story just hasn’t been written yet. So of course she hasn’t been super present, of course she might come off as a little dull (although I still disagree with that assumption) she’s not supposed to be in stories revolving around Feyre, around Nesta, etc.
Fans complain about her not being interesting but the only way to fix that is to give her her own book, something those same fans also don’t want. You can’t have it both ways. Fans need to stop using Elain’s lack of screentime (what they contribute her “boringness” to) as an excuse to rip on her. For all we know, Elain could have been some nighttime vigilante throughout acosf. There is nothing to deny that, and why? Cause we haven’t had her pov.
So yeah, Elain hasn’t done much yet—and this is only what we see from Feyre and Nesta’s perspectives—but how are the few scenes she has had (none of in which she is the least bit irrelevant, one in fact she quite literally killed the king of hybern) enough for fans—at least this one—to wholeheartedly say they want her dead?? Like that’s such an extreme reaction? As said earlier I don’t think Elain has had enough spotlight/development to warrant that level of hatred from fans so how does it add up in any way?
tl;dr we haven’t even had elain’s perspective yet and people are passing these judgments, stereotypes on her, calling her irrelevant, wanting her dead, etc. and it’s kinda ironic—how can fans (this fan in particular) say she’s irrelevant when clearly she’s relevant enough for you to wish her dead and make a whole video about it,,,y’all out here looking like clowns

Princess
Pairing: Dean x reader
Prompt: In which you and Dean can’t help but want to be around each other and find little excuses to do so. Also reaserchung for a case and watching TV together.
Warnings: Located on early season 12, there are some mild spoilers to S2 of The Walking Dead but nothing serious.
A/N: This is fluff, just a bunch of fluff because I needed some Dean fluff real bad
You laid on your stomach with your feet crossed, knees glued to the headboard of Dean’s bed as you read the digital book you’d found a few days back. Dean sat beside you resting his back on the headboard reading as well, he held a book in his hands. You were both listening to some soft rock as you continued your research to trap Lucifer on the cage.
Hours passed, Sammy had gone to check up on a possible case and promised to call if it was something of your kind of thing, meanwhile you, and Dean decided to go to his room since the library chairs were hurting your backs from so much reading.
You took a deep breath and sighed before moving on to the next page of archangel lore, and you thought the economy readings back at uni had been boring.
“Hey!” You heard him exclaim excited from behind. “I think I’ve got something! Check this out.” He handed you the book and leaned towards you as you read.
You closed the computer and grabbed the book from his hands, reading from the point he told you to start.
As you read about the tools God had used to lock Lucifer on the cage you felt a small finger pressing near your shoulder. It made you raise an eyebrow and turn your eyes towards him but continued reading when you noted no further movement, a few minutes later you felt it again. You ignored it just the same. And it just kept happening. He’d press his finger on different sides of your back, and rather than being annoying to you, it was pleasant, almost like a massage. You almost dragged your eyes in the words longer just to avoid finishing fast and lose the gentleness of his touch. You were only friends so, these kinds of tokens of affection weren’t all that common.
After a few pages and a few minutes of heaven, he stopped and leaned even closer “So?”
“So what?” You asked confused, you were still a little numb and distracted, his touch had an effect you were not expecting, even if you liked it.
“You think it’s going to work?”
You were about to ask ‘what was going to work?’ until it dawned on you that he was talking about the reading you’d barely payed attention to “I mean, I think it could work, it’s not such a long shot.” You were as ambiguous as possible with your answer.
“Right?, I’ll send the pictures of the book to Cas, he’ll know something about it.”
You nodded and passed him the book, you tried to open the computer again but your will power was out of sight “I cannot, for the life of me, continue reading this! It’s the most boring piece of lore I’ve found in my life! It’s like the writer thought of the most boring way to write something and decided to double the boringness at the end.”
Dean chuckled “then stop for a bit, let’s see what Cas has to say about what we found, take a break.”
“Awesome! If anyone asks, you said I could stop,” You chimed grabbing the computer on your hands, you did NOT want to stand up, even if it was minimal, you enjoyed the company and without the reading, you had no excuse to stay in the same place as Dean.
“Do you want to watch something?” He asked then.
You were about to jump like a little girl in excitement but managed to keep your composure “sounds nice, why not?”
You opened Netflix on your computer, trying to find something to watch “Hey, walking dead seems fun,” he motioned towards the screen.
“Hmmm, I don’t really like zombies.”
“Wait, what? I’ve seen you hunt dozens!”
“Yeah, we’ve hunt zombies, but our zombies are not like those zombies, you don’t get bitten and turn into one because of a scary invisible virus that kills you and turns you into a blob of walking, hungry, brainless meat. And there are also no zombie apocalypses where all the people you love die.”
“Wait a minute! Are you scared of zombies?” He teased.
“That’s ridiculous! I hunt zombies,” you defended yourself.
“You ARE scared,” he continued “I’d never thought they say would come where I would find something that scares (Y/F/N).”
“Shut up! Winchester,” you grunted "I’m not scared, and I can prove it!" You sneered as you clicked on the little icon to play the first episode of the show you’d been dreading to watch for years.
He had a little smirk on his face as you did it, he knew you were scared, but he also didn’t mind being the only one there to comfort you, in case the zombies were too much.
As the episode started you had your left hand, the one on the other side of him, clenching the bedsheets expecting a jump scare on every scene. By the end of the episode, you’d gotten around to it, since you’d seen jump scares weren’t all that common on the show you managed to relax a bit.
"You’re not as tense anymore," he acknowledged.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about, Winchester, I was never tense," you responded playing dumb.
He rolled his eyes but you both continued watching the show. By episode three of your little binge-watch the computer showed the classic 5% battery left which meant you had like a minute before it turned off.
"Shit," you mumbled, you still didn’t want to stand up, so you looked around the room to see if by any chance you’d brought the charger, which you had, only it was close to the plug, on the far side of his little concrete shelf. You gave him a look. He denied with his head. You breathed again and positioned your hands on the classic rock, paper scissors start.
"Seriously? princess?" He asked, you knew, he meant it in an annoying way, but even then your stomach fluttered.
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
He let a breath out and positions his hands too. rock, paper, scissors, you both the said in your heads, both choose rock. You stared at each other for a second before trying again, rock, paper, scissors, now you were both papers. You got the same answer two more times. "This is the one!" He said. You nodded, rock, paper, scissors and he crushed your scissors with his rock.
"Son of a bitch!" You mumbled.
"Language, princess!"
You made a face at him and looked at the cord again. You really, really didn’t want to stand up. So it occurred to you, maybe if...
You nodded to yourself and kneeled on the bed, using your hand on his nightstand to stabilize yourself, you basically crossed Dean with half of your body and extended your arm as far as possible to get the cable. That was the easy part, the cable wasn’t nearly as far. But the plug, that was another story.
Meanwhile, Dean sat there, sipping hard trying to ignore the fact that your ass was just inches away from his face. He tried, boy he tried not to check you out, you had been friends for the longest time, and while he had checked you out before (when he’d met you for the first time), he’d avoided that now that you��d grown closer. But you were wearing yoga pants, he could not resist yoga pants. As he was dumbfounded looking at your ass you continued trying to get the cable to the plug, causing you to stretch even further, giving Dean an even better view.
Eventually, you managed to connect the cable, and as you tuned to rejoice in your success the book on the shelf you were using as support gave in, and you started falling face-first to the ground.
Luckily, Dean who was very attentive of your movements at that point, managed to grab you by the hips and pull you in, causing your chest to collide with his, faces inches away from each other "It’s alright, I’ve got you." You could feel the warmth of his breath on your face, you breathed carefully, swallowing hard at the closeness.
“Umm... thanks, I uh... wasn’t expecting to fall,” You mumbled.
“No problem, that’s what friends are for,” he smiled, you stared at his mesmerizing green eyes for a little too long before realizing you were still on top of him.
“I... am... I’m going back to my place,” you whispered rolling off of him and sitting on your side.
“Hey listen, if you don’t want to continue watching the zombies, it’s perfectly fine for me, all right?”
“What? Are you scared now? princess?” Was your only reply.
He chuckled slightly and you both continued watching the show.
As the second episode of season two came to an end you were both in awe “Shit Carl!” You mumbled.
Dean, was also very tense beside you, Carl couldn’t die, he was one of the main characters. You kept telling yourselves that throughout the next episode. At some point even, both of you started holding hands, in reassurance to each other.
You wanted to continue watching but both of you were falling asleep “maybe we should call it a night?” He asked.
You nodded, and you headed to your room, it was just beside his, but you’d miss his warmth either way.
“Good night, princess,” he smirked.
“Good night,” you replied rolling your eyes “ass,” you smiled and closed his door as you left.
He let a breath out as he saw you walk out and placed the computer on his nightstand. He’d miss you laying by his side, both of you fell asleep soon after, wishing you were still together.
Dean woke up a few hours later to pee, and he heard you as he was coming back to his room, he knocked first but after no answer he opened the door and entered your room, you were asleep, but not peacefully, although quietly you mumbled words, “get away from me”, “nooooooo” and “Dean!” were only some of them.
“Hey!” He motioned towards you, he sat beside your bed and gently moved your shoulder, you were still trapped in your own nightmare “hey! princess! Wake Up!” He motioned again.
Still, no answer from you, after the third try you abruptly opened your eyes, your breath hitched and your eyes watery “Dean!” You smiled as you saw him. You quickly pulled him into a hug “Oh, you’re all right, you’re perfectly fine!” you whispered as you pushed him even closer to you, by now he’d returned the unexpected hug and made circles on you back with his palm.
“I’m fine princess, you were the one moaning about zombies” he teased.
You answered with a light hit in the shoulder “I wasn’t dreaming about zombies!”
“Yeah, sure, whatever you say, princess,” he cooed, you wanted to argue, you really did but was it really a better thing for him to know what you really were dreaming of? Losing him to Lucifer. So you just rolled your eyes and let him have this one. “We can always stop watching it.”
“You wish! I have to know what happens to Carl,” you replied.
As the two of you stopped embracing each other you suggested “maybe we can watch a bit more? I’ll put it on my phone, just so we can get sleepy again.”
“Sounds like a plan,” he smiled as he motioned for you to move so he could fit in the bed. He took off his robe, setting it in the side and accommodated himself underneath the covers. Your bed was smaller than his, so you were even closer that you’d been in his room with the computer.
“Your pijamas are extremely soft” you said as he fumbled around inside the bed to get comfortable, you’d feel his muscles flexing underneath his pants and shirt as they touched your bare skin, you only had a pair of shorts and a short sleeve pijama top.
He frowened, and gave you a side eye, he had no clue how to respond “thanks?”
“I’ll steal it from you one of these days,” you said feeling the hem of his sleeve “it’s stupid soft.”
The idea of you wearing his shirt made him shiver in his mind, but he had to keep up the aparences “you can’t have my shirt!”
“I wasn’t asking for it Dean,” you smirked.
You gave each other a defiant look and then you put play on the episode that patently waited for you two on the screen of your phone.
You were attentively watching the episode when you heard a light snore, you turned towards Dean but he was fast asleep. You smiled slightly and denied with your head. Placing your phone on the nightstand and letting a breath out. You’d have to wake up the Winchester now, but just when you were about to motion him to wake, you felt his hand pulling you down from where you sat and towards him.
“Stop moving princess, I’m comfortable,” you heard him mumble in between his sleep. He pulled you in and snuggled against you, making you completely trapped with his arm and a few seconds later, his leg was also on top of yours, leaving you looking at the ceiling, without being able to move.
You took a deep breath and decided you’d just enjoy the moment instead. Falling asleep just a few minutes later, with his warmth comforting you this one night.
A/N: hope you enjoyed this little thing, opinions and feedback are always apreciated, much love -Rose.

pulse . peter maximoff
pairing: xmen!peter maximoff x reader; established relationship
genre + warnings: smut! stealing/mentions of theft. use of a sex toy. squirting. protected sex.
words: 2.2k
summary: After a day of fucking around in a particular video store, you and Peter fuck around at home.
note: this was a commission for @otaku1012 !!! this was really fun to write and I've never written for Peter before so i hope i did his character justice 🥺 oh! and this takes place a little bit before Apocalypse, so about 1981. per usual, i accept any and all feedback you guys have!!
“You know, I heard they have a sex shop in the back,” Peter whispers in your ear as you look at the VHS tapes in the comedy section. “All kinds of adult films and sex toys.”
His breath catches against the back of your neck, making you shiver. A hand placed at your waist as he hugs you from behind. He spins you towards him a moment later. “Maybe we should go have a look.”
He moves his fingertips lightly along your side, tickling you. A big smile appeared on his face as you began to laugh nervously from the torture.
“Cut it out,” You laughed. “People are staring.”
“Let them stare,” He joked, still not letting you breathe.
His fingers ran up and down your sides repeatedly, then he abruptly stopped. It took you a minute to catch your breath, side-eyeing him as he swiftly went to look at the movies in the action section that was a few feet away.
“Babe! Should we finish our James Bond marathon?” He asks, lifting the VHS tape. “They have The Spy Who Loved Me.”
“Yeah, hopefully, this one isn’t fucking boring.” You roll your eyes as you approach him.
“There’s no one else I’d rather spend two hours and six minutes of boringness with,” He kisses your forehead. With an effortless motion, Peter places the tape in his bag and walks away. “Hurry up, slowpoke.”
He offers you his hand and brings you to the back of the shop towards a large brown door that says ‘XXX 18+ ONLY’ in bolded cherry red letters. He opens the door, and you’re both immediately stopped.
“Identification please,” A short white man with a receding hairline stopped you.
You both pull out your ID, and he waves you off. The area was a bit small but, it was divided into a few sections. Various clothing items and shoes in the front with porn tapes to the right. And a plethora of toys in the back.
Peter went immediately to the video section, but you moved towards the toys. It was almost as if they’d called your name, begging you to approach so they could grasp you. You didn’t know where to start. Your chest felt as though it was about to burst from your chest. You’d never see anything like this. You started at the lube and the games. Everything from sex dice to blindfolds and handcuffs. Then you moved onto browsing the dildos, so many different colors and lengths.
From the corner of your eye, you could see Peter teasing you about your fascination, but you shook him off. Your mouth slightly gaped open, and your eyes wandered, studying every toy you came across.
“Excuse me, what did you just put in your bag?” You heard from the distance, snapping out of your trance.
Your head turns way too quickly, and you see Peter being eyed by the short man who’d stopped you earlier. You wanted to fucking melt. There was no fucking way he’d just been caught. Before the man could open his mouth again, Peter ran towards you.
“Get on my back.” You sigh but make no complaint, hopping onto his back, and in no time you both are out of there and down the street.
He stopped, letting you down, and you paused to catch your breath. It’s not often that you’re attached to him when he fucking zooms away like that. It takes some time to get used to it.
“Holy shit Peter!” You yelled. “How the fuck did you get caught?”
“I didn’t know he was gonna be standing directly behind me,” He laughs at you. “Plus, you look so cute when you’re annoyed.”
“Whatever,” You rolled your eyes for what felt like the fifteenth time today. “You owe me lunch.”
“Race you?” And like that, he was gone.
“No fucking fair!”
It always amazed you that man who can move at over a hundred miles per second was so slow and patient with you. His touches are soft and delicate, never rough unless you wanted him to be. And this time, you needed that.
But of course, he was going to tease you. Building up lust inside of you, and making you wetter by the second at the smallest things he did, like breath. When his lips traced your collarbone, and his heavy breath tickled against his skin. It caused you to shiver at his touch.
Life was so fast today, and you needed that speed to continue. You needed that same energy and passion as before.
“How about we play with something?” Peter smiles.
There’s a sparkle in his eye as he gets off the bed and reaches for his backpack. Unzipping it, he pulled out a box that said: 'HITACHI two speed massager. Magic Wand.' in bold black and white lettering.
“That’s what you took from the sex shop?” You laughed at him.
“Yeah, I thought we’d try it out and see how it works,” He takes it out of the package. “First, we plug this into the wall.”
Peter plugs the cord into the outlet closest to the bed, and luckily the cord stretches rather far. He examines the wand, then turns it on. It was fairly loud as it vibrated in his hand. He presses the end against his arm and gasps.
“Wow.”
“Wow?”
He comes closer to you, pressing the vibrator against your forearm. It shakes hard against your skin. It’s powerful, and you could only imagine how it would feel on your clit.
“Wow.” You responded.
“Definitely trying this out tonight.” Peter looked at you, a small smile on his face.
“How about we try it right now?”
His smile grew wide, and his pupils seemed to dilate. Turning the vibrator off, he leaned into you. His lips touched yours, and it gave you chills. It was as if this was the first time you had ever kissed each other. The whole world could be falling apart at this very moment, and it wouldn’t even matter.
You leaned back on the bed, breaking the kiss for just a moment. Peter slipped in between your legs, lips attaching to your neck.
And you’re pulled back into that headspace. It’s like you’re floating in limbo or a pit of darkness, but it’s not depressing. You can feel every single touch and breath against your body, each more intense than the last. You can hear everything, but nothing at all. For a moment, it's only you and Peter.
His kisses stop, and you look up at him. You peered into his eyes to see the softness that was always there; and it would never leave, even though much of his innocence is lost. He pulls your shirt over and off of you to find you braless.
His mouth instantly goes to your left nipple, sucking, teasing, and biting lightly as his hands grab your tits. It’s like he’s in a candy store and you’re his favorite candy. The feeling of his tongue swirling against you and his teeth occasionally grazing your nipple shot straight to your clit. He could help but moan around you, and the vibrations warmed you. He does the same to the other nipple.
He planted a kiss on both of your breasts and then your neck. A short lick at your neck causes you to moan. Your hips bucking into his, only to be cockblocked by the friction of your jeans.
“I want you,” You moaned out to him. Your words and tone of voice practically shot straight to his dick.
Peter sat up, his hands working their way to your pants. He took his time as he did it, refusing to rush. As much as Peter wanted to see all of you, taste you, touch you, and feel you; he took his time. He chooses to savor this moment with you.
“Can’t wait to taste you,” He vocalized, taking your pants off of you.
You opened your legs wider for him to see, your panties blocking him from seeing what he wants. His fingers hooked inside your panties and slid them to the side. “So pretty.”
His free hand holds onto the back of your thigh, holding your leg to the side. You rest your other thigh on his shoulder.
He licks your clit, then dips into your wetness for an initial taste. He moans into you as he tastes you, drinking every bit of you as he could. He’s not too fast though, choosing to take his time instead. But he still eats you messily, as if you were the last thing he’d ever taste, savoring the moment.
You grind into his face, your hands moving into his hair; tugging at it as you catch your breath. His tongue swirled around your clit, occasionally sucking and kissing on you. Even dipping his tongue in and out of you, daring to go lower. His lips and the tip of his nose shiny and glistening in the light with your wetness.
Peter sat up and reached to the side of you, grabbing the vibrator. He turns it on, and your breath gets caught in your throat before he even touches you with it. He places the vibrator directly on your clit, not too harshly.
“Holy shit,” You couldn’t help but moan out. It felt like your heart dropped. You couldn't imagine explaining the feeling it gave you.
It was just one big ball of feelings expanding deep inside your core. Your moans increased in volume, and you couldn’t help it. You shook a bit and squirmed around, but Peter held you in your place.
“Be still,” He spoke sternly. It made your heart flutter a bit.
You felt like you were going to burst. That nerve of feels kept expanding until it was no more; you were seeing stars. The void surrounded you and held you; it was comfort and pure white noise. It was so much at once, but, you couldn’t do anything but take it all in.
Once you came back to Earth, you looked straight to Peter. Eyes wide with the vibrator in his hand; his mouth wide, curling into a smile. His face was wet, as was his shirt.
“Wow,” You said in unison.
You both took a minute. Your chest heaving, the heartbeat in your pussy pulsing rapidly.
“I wanna make you do that again.” Peter licks his lips.
He takes off his clothes before you could even blink, taking a condom from his side table and rolling it onto his dick. He positions himself between your legs, resting his dick against your heat. “I’ll go slow,”
He slowly slides into you, hands roughly gripping your sides. He looks into your eyes, and it’s like he’s stealing your soul, piece by piece. One deep stroke into you, and you’re unraveling around him. He feels so good inside of you, it’s like it was meant to be.
You place your hands on his shoulders to brace yourself even though you’re laying down. Deep inside of you as he rolls his hips, but he pauses, grabbing the vibrator and clicking it on. He presses the vibrator lightly to your clit, slowly moving it up and down.
Being filled up with a vibrator on your clit was a whole new feeling. Everything centered on your core. It was a fiery passion that kept sparking inside of you. Peter's thrusts became faster the closer he came to his orgasm. The vibrations added stimulation for both of you, especially for Peter. Making his cock throb with every second he’s inside of you.
“Fuck,” He breathed. He tried to keep his composure and not cum too quickly.
Peter looked down, watching himself disappear inside of you. Drooling at how your wetness coated the condom. Moving his hips at just the right angle, he hit right where you needed him to. Your moans syncing with his own as you squeezed around him. You became nearly numb to the vibrator, but the closer you came to cuming, the more unbearable it became.
“I’m gonna fucking cum,” You cried. You tried to close your legs, but couldn’t because Peter was between them.
He began to rock his hip faster, burying his dick inside you. Leaning down, his lips locked with yours. He became absorbed in all your warmth. Moving sloppily as he spilled his cum into the rubber. You could only imagine what I’d feel like if he came directly into you, and you came at the thought of it.
Your legs shaking, your back arched off the bed with a hoarse moan spilling from your mouth. Wetness squirting out from you and Peter pulls out, slapping his cock over your cunt. The vibrator rested against your skin, and even just that was too much.
Peter slid back inside of you, thrusting inside of you just a little bit. You could only hold him as you continued to unravel around him. Eyes rolling to the back of your head. You could feel the wetness below you seeping into the bed; should’ve laid down a towel if only you both knew.
It took a few, but it felt like you’d been cuming for minutes on end. The room felt hotter than before, and you felt a little lightheaded. You were already sore, you just needed to lay there for a moment.
“Wanna watch The Spy Who Loved Me?” He asks after a long silence, turning off the vibrator.
“Sure.” You laughed, rubbing circles on his back. “Just let me catch my breath.
With this vibrator in your possession, it’d be a long night.

Why Overwatch 2 will be just fine
Before we begin I wanna say that all of this are my own perspectives and thoughts, so take it with a grain of salt ... but tbh yall should sit down and chill until the game drops, kay? Kay.
Soo, there was another OW2 livestream not so long ago and people started freaking out and boycotting the devs. Why? 5v5 and there will be only one tank now.
I'm hearing left and right how much of a problem this will be and I can't stop getting annoyed about the fact that people really are SO upset that there will be no 'off tank' in their games and how the devs 'refuse to balance their game' instead and how there will be smurfing and- you get the point.
Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm not into the 'meta' cuz my competitive rank is a 'metal' one, OR MAYBE I'm just this guy who says 'it just game, why u have to be mad??'.
I personally really look forward to OW2, mostly for the PvE part of the game as it sounds so massive and seeing how much they've done with the very first mission they've shown us and the fact that we can level up our heroes and equip unique abilities just makes me giggle and excited about the final release and future events and updates!
So many cutscenes, so many new animations and skins, so many new maps to play X33
And 5v5?? I'm looking forward to that too!
No, for real, one tank does not make or break anything for me, mostly for one single tiny reason alone.
A Tank is still a Tank.
I dunno if you ever played other games where there are Tank, DPS and Healing roles, like LoL, Dota, heck even Pokémon and Fire Emblem.
Tank roles have one single purpose; be the literal meat shield for their team.
I dunno about you, but I've never played a Tank in my life that wasn't completely about taking the attention from my squishies and jump in to protect them. And according to my ranking I'm a Tank main, sure my highest Rank is Platinium, but just because I don't grind my way up like any other madmen.
Tanks are SUPPOSED to be in the front lines taking the damage, making a way through the crowd, mess up the other team's formation. I also believe I'm not the end all be all for my squishies, I trust in them that they can protect themselves when I go in for a kill, which they can with their several abilities like a sleeping dart, climbing walls or building up a wall to hide behind.
Here we have Pro Tank players freaking out and complaining that 'they lack a tank' that there won't be any strategy involved cuz they are missing another meat shield that has their back etc. etc.
Again, I'm just a noob playing my Quickplay and Arcade games for lootboxes ... but god am I sick and tired of hearing these excuses from one trick pro players who have been stuck in their metas and comps.
SURE they are up there for a reason, but the fact of the matter is that I don't care if you do not want a 'dive comp' if I wanna play D.Va to get myself a 6 stack Ult kill, kay??
I don't care if we have a Zarya and Roady, they gonna wreck our enemy team and I'm gonna pump up their asses with as much healing as they want, kay???
The standarts OW pro players have been setting time and time again has muddied the waters of normal play. Because of them Symmetra and Bastion have been thrown into the corner of the back room and will never be seen in normal play because 'they ain't meta'.
Bro, I've been a Bastion main since Comp Season 3 and I've been wrecking my games left and right whenever I play him. I do not need your meta to succed, I don't need a Mercy pocket or a Rein shield because people like the pros set the standart that Bastion is ONLY useful when these criteria are met.
Not only that, BECAUSE of their standarts I forced myself into being able to switch to any roles with heroes that do just as much good as my Bastion. And that was actually a very good thing! Now I'm a solid Gold-Plat rank player that can play pretty much every hero in Mystery Heroes.
... and then I see our current pros. Who are scared shitless that their off tank players gonna play ... DPS?? Or Healing?? Like, weren't you guys moaning about one tricks? About people not being able to switch?
You ... you do know how OW started, right? OW was a game the devs SPECIFICALLY made to be open gameplay, they WANTED people to switch to heroes and experiment with new combos.
But lately we had buffs, nerfs, change in ques and all you can do is complain about it.
YOU put the standart 2-2-2 because people started to go tank-healers only, or Genji-healing only, or some shit because that was OP.
YOU were the ones forcing in a role que system because other people could not or refused to switch their roles.
YOU forced the devs to rework ALL HEROES to your standarts. Granted, here you got the devs to make Symmetra interesting to play, Bastion and Torb more viable and Brig to be more fair ... for you, because I cannot play Brig to safe my life, she's such a squishy and I die the second the round starts.
If you cannot handle what pro players dished out years ago, then please do me the favor and stay with your Rein-Zayra combo for the rest of eternity thxx
And we haven't talked about the OW2 hero reworks and new maps with more things to hide behind yet! Making each Tank more viable and more enjoyable to play. And guess what? THEY AIN'T DONE YET! I've seen alot of players moarn that the game will be SO unfair ... but we haven't seen anything yet. Espacially since they haven't told us any DPS or Healing ability changes either.
'But BUT 3 years of development!!!' so?? 3 years could mean anything. Not to mention that the EXACT SAME DEVS are working on OW2 are ALSO STILL working on OW 1 at the same time. And it's a pandemic. Sure they are a huge team, but they have a huge goal; aka THE STORY MODE WITH HUNDRETS OF HOURS OF PLAYTIME AND ANIMATED CUTSCENES.
They still have a long ass way to go, so chill out and give em some time. There are over 30 heroes they have to rework, remodel, give a part in the Story. Multiple new Maps to work, maybe even rework, test and make sure everything is as polished as possible for the general player base; which ain't the pros btw.
So, with pretty much mostly everything said, what's my final stand?
I would say to everybody worrying that the game won't be good; trust me, it'll be just fine.
If you don't enjoy the 5v5, there will still be Arcade and Story to keep ya company, like, I've been playing Quickplay and Arcade 99% of the time, you gonna be fine fam.
And if you're a pro player who JUST CANNOT handle 5v5 without their off tank puppy jumping after them then here's a tip:
Don't play Overwatch 2.
Nobody will force you to it, Overwatch will still exist with it's 6v6 2 tanks, 2 DPS, 2 healing boringness and it's frozen metas and comps and the same ass people in the Top 100 you play against each and every day with tiny buffs and nerfs every other day.
Meanwhile me and my squad will enjoy more shenanigans in OW2.
I'll gladly play momma Orisa and keep my friends save and sound, while also hooking every evil doer who dares come close to em ewe
Overwatch 2 is for us, the players who play the game like the devs intended; play the heroes you want, no matter if you lose or fail and have to pick yourself up again to grow and become stronger.
Overwatch 2 will be just fine.

➻ Request: “Here I am!! Can I request a series of witch au jimin x reader, I leave to you the plot decision I know you can write such wonderful things thank you in advance.”
HELLO EVERYONE✨✨
I’m aware that I said that this blog was dead and buried, but I found this fanfic in my drafts and I decided to post it as a farewell, to give you one last nice goodbye to the BTS Fanfics that I’ve posted during these years. Since it was in my drafts, I didn’t write a complete story and it’s a bit rushed especially in the end (because I meant it as a first part of a series) but I think it’s nice to just post it like this, so you can all see what has been sitting in here for 2 years. I love you all and who knows, maybe I’ll write some fanfics about other things in the future💕
✵ Summary: During your escape from the royal castle, you meet Jimin, a beautiful witch who offers you help in exchange of a little favor.
✵ Genre: Fluff , tiny Angst, mild smut lol
✵ Pairings: Witch! Jimin x Reader
You had never been out of the palace or it’s ground. To you all floors were marble, all stair rails were ornate, carved and polished so that it shined. Family portraits were painted in oils and hung in gold frames. Furniture was all handmade by master craftsmen and nothing ever got dirty. You, the princess, had never seen dust in the years of your life. The air was scented with fresh flowers every day of the year, yet you had never seen a flower ever die or wilt. Food was always perfect and served precisely on time, but you had never seen a kitchen. Each room was as big as a three bedrooms apartment and came equipped with everything you would ever need.
It seemed like the perfect life, the life that beggars and poor nationals dreamed off when they were faced with financial issues and popular diseases.
Every girl wished of being dressed in tight corsets and large gowns, with the only worry of acting pretty and knowing how to appear innocent to other royal families who came in town.
The reality, was much darker than that, and to you it was like a nightmare.
While they dreamed of being you, you dreamed of being free.
You wanted to go out and talk to normal people, that weren’t going to judge you if you didn’t laugh at a joke that wasn’t funny.
Every day you looked outside the window of your room, and you looked at the plaza of your own city beyond the walls of your castle, thinking about how great being there would have felt like.
You were tired of it all, and today It was no different.
✥✥✥✥
Putting on the tight corset that crushed your belly, you let out a tired groan at the sound of knocking against the door of your bedroom.
“What?” You called out and soon the low and snooty voice of your personal guard resounded through the door.
“Your mother ordered me to go to the marketplace in town, wait here and don’t go out without me.” He said and, as soon as those words came to your ears, you widened your eyes.
“Wait!” You yelled and opened the door, without worrying about the lack of corset on your body.
He stood in front of you with a confused expression stamped on his face.
“Wait for me, I’ll come with you.” He shook his head.
“You can’t, orders from the king. You know you can’t go out of the castle.” He repeated with an almost robotic voice.
You groaned in response “Why can’t I? Other princesses are allowed to go out!” He smirked.
“How would you know? I’m sorry princess but the rules are untouchable.” You know that he wasn’t even one bit sorry.
You thought in silence for a moment, before an idea came to your mind.
Now you were the one to smirk.
“If you don’t take me with you. I’ll tell mom that you’ve been seeing my maid every night instead of standing outside of my room.” He widened his eyes at your threat.
You had plenty of time inside that castle, and the only way of spending them quickly included spying on the people that surrounded you. It wasn’t something you were proud of, but in order to survive the boringness, it was the only option.
“You’re not telling anything.” He said with a lightly shaky voice and you shrugged.
“Not if you bring me with you.” Crossing your arms, you waited for his response and smiled when you saw him groaning in annoyance.
“Just get dressed properly. You won’t tell anything to your mother. Not about me, nor about the fact that I let you out of the castle. Now be quick.”
And that was how you found yourself out of the walls for the first time in your life.
✥✥✥✥
Strangely enough, the town was exactly like how you expected it to be.
A large crowd filled the streets and each person moved as if unseeing hands dragged them this way and that, pulling their eyes to one thing and the other. You could feel the tight grip of your guard as you walked next to him, feeling uncomfortable in your wide and rich gown – in deep contrast with the poor rags that others wore as they looked at you with a hint of hatred in their eyes.
You would have undressed yourself of those clothes in front of anyone if you could, so that they could see the scars and the bruises caused by the tight corsage that your maid forced you to wear. They were so quick to judge, but you didn’t blame them. You could understand why they were coming from.
The asphalted street was occupied by a large number of stands, each with different items and workers inside. They sold food, furniture, objects, animals and many other things that you had never saw before.
Standing in the middle of all that chaos made you feel a sensation that you’ve never felt before – you were alive.
“Wait here, I need to get what the queen asked for, then we’ll go away from this shithole.” He muttered and you scoffed. How could he describe it a shithole, when you were used to live inside of a cage?
As soon as he gave you his shoulders to wait in line at a stand, you decided to take advantage of the situation, and look around as much as you could before he came back.
You were aware that sooner or later he would have found you, but postponing that moment was still possible.
You walked around without worrying about your long skirt, that was swiping the dirt from the street as you looked at the different stands – and you let your hair get loose from the unbreathable grip that the maid had created to keep them in place.
You looked at sellers of flowers, the source of the smell that you could sense in your own castle; and sellers of food that cooked the meals that you’ve only eaten – without knowing how they could become what they were.
The sight of a young men inside a stand caught your attention, and you unconsciously walked closer to where he was sitting, furrowing your eyebrows when you saw a sphere of quartz crystal in front of his hands.
Many people were waiting in line to sit in front of him and hear about their future and the fortune that they would have encountered, while the man smiled at them and touched the crystal ball lightly with his finger and closed his eyes – letting out warm words that would have left them anybody content and satisfied with how they’ve spent their money.
Without noticing, you found yourself next in line and your eyes met his majestic ones.
He was wearing a brown blouse and his brown hair was brushed back by his hand when a smirk compared on his face as soon as his eyes landed on you.
“Take a sit princess.” He voiced with a voice sweeter than the desserts of your castle’s cuisine, and you obliged – feeling somewhat enchanted by him.
“H-how did you know?” You asked, wondering if your clothes gave out too much information.
“I didn’t” He said under his smirk and you felt your cheeks blush.
“Excuse me if I ask you, your highness-“ He started but you cut him off.
“I’m not a highness, my mother is. I’m just her daughter.” You muttered and he smiled before correcting himself.
“Well, princess, why would you come here of all places and ask to a fortune teller to read your future?”
You shrugged “Can’t I?” He tilted his head.
“I thought the royal life offered more interesting things to do.” You furrowed your brows at his words.
“You mean like giving fake hopes to beggars?” You said and, for a moment, you worried that what you said might have offended him, but his small smirk said otherwise.
“I read the future. I just decide to ignore the bad sides of it.” Now it was his time to shrug and you nodded at what he said, thinking about it for a moment before speaking up.
“Mind reading mine?” You asked and he smiled at you “Not at all.”
You waited as he looked at the crystal sphere in front of him, and you rolled your eyes at the whole acting, before looking at him again.
Unlike before, the smile on his face had disappeared.
“You’re in danger.” He muttered before looking up, behind you - you widened your eyes.
“W-Wait...What?” You got up from your sit and he did the same, taking you by your arm.
“What are you doing?” You asked feeling him pulling you lightly.
“We need to get out of here now.” He said, looking at you in the eyes before a scream made its way to the crowd of the plaza.
“Y/N!” You recognize the voice of your guard and you looked at the fortune teller with confused eyes.
“It’s just my guard.” You said and he shook his head. It was then that you started hearing other voices, all overlapping each other. They all started screaming: at first you couldn’t understand what they were saying but as the voices were getting louder and stronger you understood the whole crowd has started screaming and looking for you: the rich princess lost in the city.
“You’re surrounded...” He breathed, without letting go of your arm and you froze at his words.
“We need to go. I’ll hide you.” For some reason, the stranger in front of you made you feel safer than the guard who was supposed to protect you with his life, and you decided to take the hand that he was offering – to step towards freedom. No more maids, no more controlling, no more watching eyes. You’ve always wanted to escape from that hell, and now someone was offering you just that.
The screams of your guard continued as he looked for you in the crowd, but the young man started to ran away from there with his hand tight around his, towards somewhere safe.
✥✥✥✥
You kept on stumbling over your gown, trying to keep up with the pace of the young man who kept on running, urging you not to give up and to keep on running.
You walked through narrow streets, dark spaces, trying to get away from the noises or shouts.
At one point, the stone houses started to minimize, more green was showing in between them.
And as vegetation started to increase, the young man's pace started to slow down.
When you entered in a deep forest, he let go of your hand and stopped walking, to let you catch your breath. And once you managed to stand on your feet without being afraid of falling from exhaustation, he started walking again, slowly this time.
The forest was deep but full of light, birds chirping and the noise of your shoes breaking thin branches.
Then suddenly the trees disappeared: you saw an immense cornfield, a golden color kissed by the rays of sun, in the middle of which you saw what seemed like a normal house.
The outside was covered by grey stones, its roof made of many tiles.
As you walked on a path in the middle of the cornfield, you could feel the wheat underneath your feet.
Once the boy opened the small red door, your senses were welcomed by strong scents of what seemed erbs and spices. The house seemed really big, but the rooms appeared so small because of the amount of stuff there was in there: black wooden tables almost entirely covered by thick books, parchments and strange tools of all forms.
Some where rounded, some where pointy and in the middle of others you could see crystals and stones.
"Welcome to my humble abode, my princess. My name's Jimin, just a poor futureteller at your service" you could hear the smirk in his voice as he bowed to his feet in a dramatic move. You took a look at his clothes: you could see intricate but subtle patterns in the fabric, the simbols on his rings and necklaces. "Born in a small village and travelled across the world to learn all that I could." "Y/N" you said playing his game, with a small bow.
"I was born in the royal castle and I've never left from there. They kept me busy by making me s-"
"sew and painting your parents and relatives to hung the artworks on the walls and show every nobleman the skills of the princess. But you never really liked being forced, that's why you used to leave small but controversial details in your paintings". He completed your sentence as he took off his jacket, waking inside what you presumed was his living room. You stood there, eyes wide open as he described such intimate details of your life.
"H-how did you know that? You lived in the castle, or what?” As you waited for a response, Jimin kept on looking at you with a smirk on his face as he played with his necklaces and sat on a big, black chair. You stood in front of him with hands tight around the material of your gown - feeling ready to go towards the door. Maybe following him wasn’t the best idea.
"..d-do you actually read the future? Or the past?" your being nervous started to grow: he didn't respond and you began hearing strange noises coming from other rooms. You remembered all the books you had read at the castle about supernatural creatures, thinking that they were all just a result of a great imagination, but when in particular had to do with fortune telling.
"Are you a witch?" the loud noise of books hitting the ground made you jump.
Books were falling from the shelves, parchments were floating: you were at the point of screaming at him to give you an answer, still sitting there as he focused on his necklaces, when a big vase in the corner of the room broke and pieces flew everywhere.
You jumped at the loud noise and he looked up at you with shiny eyes. It was then that you backed off towards the door and ran away from that damned place.
Your legs were numb as you ran away from the second time in a day. You passed the cornfield, feeling like the weight of the gown you were wearing was slowing you down, before you reached the forest. You turned back, to see if Jimin had decided to look for you but he wasn't following you. The only thing behind you were your shadow and the bright light of a sunset that soon would have brought dark: you needed to hurry up before the darkness swallowed the forest.
Feeling tired of running around with the huge weight, you looked around for something sharp around the forest. It could have been useful to cut off the excessive cloth on your dress.
It was only after a plenty amount of minutes, that you managed to find a rock that could be used to your purpose and you teared off your gown - sighing in relief when you walked around without that huge weight on your legs. You followed the footprints on the ground, trying your best to go back towards the city where you could have hidden yourself in other ways, but you immediately stopped when big figures hanging some sort of announcement on walls and trees came to your sight.
You squeezed your eyes trying to catch something on them but your blood froze when your name in capitals, your painting and the price came to sight. Your heart started racing and without realizing you almost tripped backing off, causing one of the guards to look in your direction.
“Is someone there?” He called out with a grunt and you managed to hide behind a tree, not even breathing. It took them a couple of seconds before giving up on trying to see with the now missing light of the sun. When you realized they were gone, you started walking back to the forest, hugging yourself as frightening sounds came to your ears.
You needed help and the only person willing to give it to you was the one you just escaped from.
✥✥✥✥
It didn’t take you long to realize that being out in the wild by yourself was only going to be a suicide move from your side, and it was exactly the reason why you found yourself with wheat against your legs – just meters away from the damned house that you visited just a couple of hours before.
You knocked a couple of times on the red door, and it took the young man only a moment before opening with a smirk stamped on his face. The one that he probably had since you first met him.
“I knew you would came back.” He stated before letting you come inside and closing the door.
You looked around, shocked to see that the mess of before was all cleaned up and the broken vase laid intact where it was supposed to be. What was he?
“A wizard. Or a warlock if you feel like being fancy.” Jimin answered, making you gasp.
“You read my mind?” You asked him and he shrugged, going towards a table filled with potions and bottles with different coloured liquids.
“I can do almost anything that involves magic, but I prefer working with potions and spells.” He said with a calm voice, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
He was opening a huge book written in a language that you couldn’t understand as he spoke, searching for a page in particular.
“I thought witches didn’t exist.” You muttered under your breath and he chuckled.
“You don’t know about the existence of many things, my princess.” Jimin joked and looked up at you, moving his hands up in defence when he saw that you weren’t smiling.
“Maybe it’s too soon to joke about that.” You nodded at his words and walked around the living room, enchanted by the different objects that you could find in every corner.
“No worries, I’ll take my time to teach you everything you need to know about my world.” He said and you looked at him with wide eyes.
“Really? I can stay here?”
“Well, I had no problems before. But after you ran away like that I don’t know…” You froze on the spot as he responded deep in thoughts and you panicked, so much that you didn’t notice the common smirk on his face.
“You took me by surprise! I’ve never met a witch before, I’m sorry if that offended you. I really don’t know where else to go.” You begged as you walked towards him with scared eyes, and for a moment he regretted playing around too much.
“You can stay here but on one condition.” Jimin started before passing a hand through his dark hair and you nodded, looking at him with excitement.
“I’ll give loyalty and protection to the princess…” He looked back at his table, taking the book that he was reading before and placing it in front of you.
“If she helps me make a potion in exchange.” You furrowed your brows and you detached your eyes from his to look at the name of the potion, the only readable word of the page: Invenio.
✥✥✥✥
"So what’s the potion about?".
The hot cup you had in your hands was warming up your cold body, making the room smell like berries and fruits.
Your partially bare legs were covered by a thick blanket as you sat on the soft couch.
"Just something I need, but I can't make it alone.” Jimin was sitting on the other end of the couch, legs crossed and hands holding a cup similar to yours, with the only difference that the spoon was moving without no one touching it.
"But I'm not a which, how can I help you?" you were looking at him, curious. His dark locks shielded part of his face from your eyes, but his were fixed with a bored look on his magical spoon.
"You'll see." You weren't a particular short tempered girl, but he was for sure testing your patience.
His smirks, the vague answers, the misteries. But for some reason you couldn't help but feel attraction towards him: maybe not in a romantic way, maybe just because of how interesting he was. You couldn't tell yet, but for sure you felt something strange linking you to him.
"Then what is it for?" your soft lips touched the mug and your mouth was welcomed by a strong yet enjoyable feeling. Your senses calmed down as you drank in the hot fluid, feeling more comfortable after each sip.
"It lets you...find someone" his eyes were now looking at your hands holding the cup to your lips, and then at your eyes. His dark eyes didn't feel intrusive as they took in your posture, your figure and your features. They seemed curious, and for a second you bet you had saw a shy, proper smile on his lips.
"Years ago a friend had to go away, and even after promising he would have wrote me, I haven't heard anything from him in years. Almost like he disappeared."
"He must have been a really close friend for you to miss him so much.".
And indeed he was. His name was Taehyung, and him and Jimin had been friends since childhood. They had done everything together, from kids things to sharing secrets and advice in their more grown up days. Since he had been gone, Jimin felt lonlier that ever.
You stood there listening to his shooting voice as he told you about their adventures, their accidents, their mischief. You couldn't help but smile when you saw Jimin so happy to recall such long gone times.
It felt strange, staying there under a blanket sipping tea: hours before you almost felt threatened there, and now you were slowly feeling at home.
✥✥✥✥
The sun had set hours ago, and after asking you if you were hungry, to which you responded you weren't, he took you to a cozy room: the bed was covered by many different blankets and pillows. He surely did know you loved being surrounded by them. A big window was ready to be covered by thick curtains, and in front of the bed there were a mirror, many shelves and a wardrobe. You opened it and inside you saw what seemed like dozens of different dresses: their colors went from light yellows and pinks to deep burgundy and purples.
On the bed you also saw a sheer, thin nightgown of a cream color. You stood there for a second, but then you realized something: how were you supposed to take your corset off?
Grabbing the lace with your hands, you tried to tear it off with all the force left in your body - failing miserably after only a few seconds. Usually, your caring maid would do it for you although you begged her to teach you so that you could be at least independent in the way you dressed, but she always shook her head saying that a princess shouldn’t wound her hands.
After feeling a sharp pain in your right rib, you decided that asking for help was probably going to be the right choice and you headed to the only man that could actually do something about it.
Jimin was sitting on his bed, bathed in a big book, as some tall, white candles burned quietly.
He was turning yet another page when the soft sound of knuckles hitting the door came to his ears.
He immediately stood up, wondering if he had forgot to give you something and scolded himself for being so dumbfounded until he opened the door, when he saw you standing him front of him with only a corset and a sheet, ripped petticoat.
He felt his ears and cheeks tinting of a pink color as you looked at him, almost embarassed. Your naked shoulders looked like they would glow and for a moment he wondered how they would look like if covered with love bites - but was quick to shake his head and get those thoughts out of his head. You were part of the royal family, how could he even think about such thing. if anyone knew, he would have been guillotined on the spot.
"I...I was wondering if you could help me to take this off." You looked so fragile, so pure in front of his eyes, just like a kid that never really learned how to put her clothes on.
He smiled at the soft scene and opened further the door, letting you in.
"Of course". You looked around, seeing a big bed, books everywhere. His desk was full of vials, bottles and flasks. The young boy had discarded his clothes, that now were placed on a chair.
His body was covered by light brown pants and a loose, sheer white blouse.
He made you sign to sit on his bed, and he took place beside as you turned a bit so that he could face your back.
“Usually my maid does it for me...its not that I don’t know how to do it, it’s just to hard for me to reach for it.” You explained feeling somewhat embarrassed and worried that he might think of you as spoiled, but Jimin was quick to make you relax by chuckling briefly.
You stood there, trying not to make noise even while breathing. You started feeling his warmth and his perfume, almost intoxicating.
His fingers started tracing your skin, from your neck to your lower back. You felt shivers everywhere, cold and warm at the same time.
You had never experienced such an intimate touch, and the more he touched your bare skin, the more you craved it.
His slim fingers started to undo the bows of your tight corset, and he couldn't unhear the way you sighed of relief when he loosened the strings.
You felt his hot breath on your shoulders, then the feeling of cold air hitting your bare back signaled you that the corset was fully untied.
You placed your hands on your chest, keeping the corset in place and making sure it wouldn't leave your body bare in front of his eyes.
You tried to get up when you felt his warm fingers on your skin again.
And you almost flinched when his fingertips traced your scars.
His gaze was fixed on the folds of your skin, red and purple splashes and tiny scars from the friction of the laces on your soft skin.
Both of his hands started tracing your sides and they stopped when they reached your waist, that until not much earlier was being suffocated by the strong, oppressive material.
Jimin wondered why the wounds on your skin felt like he had them himself, and he looked at your back with sad eyes - feeling like he should hold you back from going back to the royal lifestyle once again.
He couldn't help but place a soft kiss on the nape of your neck, whispering a soft "I'm sorry" before letting you go.
You wondered if he felt sorry for the kiss, or for the scars that he had seen, but the thoughts were cut off as soon as you laid on your bed - letting the sleepiness take over.
✥✥✥✥
The morning after, Jimin decided to wake you up in a very unconventional way, dropping a couple of pots on the floor right next to your sleeping form - causing you to almost die of a heart attack.
You looked at him with shocked eyes as he laid chuckling in front of your room, announcing that you had just about half a hour to get ready before starting to work on the potion.
After discovering that Jimin had casually thrown your corset in the trash, you wore the dress that he had given you - which fitted you perfectly and was almost as comfortable as your night vest - and you sat down next to him in the other room, ready to learn about what you had to help him with for the mysterious potion.
"What does this mean?" your fingertips were tracing strange looking simbols on the yellow paper of a big book, placed on the table of the living room. Pointy, long strokes of ink that, combined, created intricate symbols and drawings.
"It's a recipe, for the potion". Jimin was standing next to you, letting you look at the page he had opened a moment earlier.
"It's so strange..." your eyes were still glued on those black strokes, trying to translate them in any way possible, frustrated at your sudden ignorance.
"It's called Flaedrian. Every witch learns it when they are little, my mother tought it to me when I was 6." a smile grew on his pink lips.
"She's also a witch?" You asked, looking at him curiously.
"My grandma was one. My mother never got this gift, but she learned all the languages and potions that had anything to do with magic" he remembered.
"Anyway, this is why I need help. This potion lets you find people, but it has some kind of...a higher price than usual" he seemed uncomfortable, almost scared. You looked at him with a confused expression, waiting for him to go on.
"It needs royal blood" The witch wondered if you would back off after finding out that you would have to hurt yourself in order to help him, but to his surprise, you were looking back at him with no expression at all on your face.
"How much you need?" Jimin was taken back by the strenght and convinction in your voice, not even a drop of fear.
His eyes scanned quickly the page, translating the simbols in words in his head.
"5 drops" He didn't even had the time to reassure you about it, you already had a knife in your hand and made a cut on the other palm. Ruby red drops colored the bottom of a porcelain cup, and the contrast between the red and the pure white seemed so strange to your eyes.
He gasped, grabbing a towel from the table and wrapping your hand around it before looking at you ready to scold.
“I need 5 drops, not a whole barrel. Why would you use the knife? I could just lend you the needle.” You laughed at his behavior, shrugging.
“It’s not like a cut will kill me, you know?” He looked at you with furrowed brows before leaving your hand and looking at the red filled bottle.
“I just need to mix the blood with other ingredients but I think I have them in my cabin already. Maybe I still need to get something from the city, it’s no big deal.” He ignored you, reading the old and dusty book that now laid on his thighs as he sat back on the couch.
You sat next to him, looking at the weird signs on the book’s pages.
“It’s so fascinating.” You whispered, touching the page with your fingertips.
Jimin looked at you as you stared down on the pages, feeling his heart getting warmer at the sight of you with messy and loose hair. The dress that you were wearing was the first thing that he had made that morning, after throwing your corset away. It took him half an hour to made something comfortable enough to not irritate the wounds that you had in your back, but the view of you in it made it all worth it.
It was so natural, almost as if he could see a future with you by his side like that.
When you look up from the book, you gasped lightly when you noticed that Jimin was looking at you so closely, without backing off. The two of you stared at each other fondly for a couple of seconds, before he decided to get up shaking his head lightly - leaving you on the couch as he told you that lunch would have been ready soon.
For the second time he had imagined something that should have been forbidden, and he doubted that those thoughts would have disappeared anytime soon.
✥✥✥✥
Weeks passed by quickly with Jimin by your side and each day you felt more thankful for him and for the decision that he had made that day in the city.
You were learning about witchcraft and supernatural traditions by staying with him, and you were also learning about real life - the one that you didn’t get to live in your own home.
That night, you were chilling in your bed after a long session of reading Jimin’s old book with the witch itself.
The potion was almost done, the only missing ingredient was the one that Jimin didn’t own - an adventitious maca root that could be bought in a small cornered shop that you’ve never heard of before. It was far from the centre of town, and you were sure that no one would have recognized you if you went there - since, as Jimin said, only a few people knew about it. Maybe going and buying it for him as a surprise would have been a nice present to thank him for all the things that he had done for you since he first find you.
So you decided to go and you successfully got the ingredient, wrapping it as a present and placing it under your bed, ready to give it to him.
The rush of thought was stopped by the sound of knocking from the closed door of your room. You furrowed your brows at the sight of the hour, why would Jimin look for you at 11.53 PM?
“Come in.” You said, sitting up on the mattress of your bed and he opened the door slowly before closing it again once he entered.
He was holding a small package in his hands and what seemed like ointment filled it.
“I hope I didn’t wake you up.” He muttered with a blush obvious in his cheeks that made you smile sweetly - you haven't seen him so embarrassed since the day you asked him to take off your corset.
“No no don’t worry about it? What’s up?” You asked patting a spot beside you in bed and he quickly sat down, chewing on his lip.
“I just...I made you this.” He showed you the package and you tilted your hand.
“What’s it for?”You asked and he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
“I saw the wounds and scars that you have on you so I made this ointment. I made a spell on it so it should make them disappear completely...it just..it looked like you were in pain.” He explained and you couldn’t help but smile.
“Jimin I...” You stuttered and he looked down and you reached out your hand to touch his thigh.
“Thank you, really. I’m so thankful for all the things you’re doing for me.” You said and he looked up to look at you in the eyes.
No words were spoken as you looked at each other.
“Do you want me to put it on you, I don’t know if you can reach it.” Jimin said scolding himself mentally, the blush reddening once again on his cheeks and you chuckled.
“Sure...” You mumbled, turning to give him your back.
You started unbuttoning your blouse, feeling slightly embarrassed at the intimacy, and you used the cloth to cover your chest as your naked back faced the blushing witch.
You hissed slightly when his fingers came in contact with your skin, massaging the cream that he had made on your scars with gentle movements that caused you to close your eyes and relax at the feeling.
Jimin didn’t know what he was doing, he knew that it was wrong and that he needed to keep a distance if he wanted to stop himself from trying anything on you.
Your presence had weird affects on him, as if you were a spell that he couldn’t get enough of. He gas falling in love, and you were becoming the only thing that he thought about when he first opened his eyes in the morning and the last think he saw when he went to sleep.
“Hey...Jimin, I want to give you something” you suddenly said, pulling your robe back on and turning to face him. He looked at you slightly confused with a tint of red still present on his checks.
“What...?” He asked and you got up from the bed, kneeling down to pick up the small box that you placed there earlier.
“I wanted to give you this present..as a thank you for all the things that you’ve done for me during this time. You truly changed my life and I can’t believe that a small trip to the city ended with me meeting you” now it was your time to blush and you looked at him as you handed him the small box wrapped in scarlet-Coloured paper.
He wrapped his fingers around it and started to rip the paper with slowly, with a bit of hesitation.
As soon as the last ingredient for the potion came to his sight he couldn’t help but gasp, widening his eyes.
“Y/N I can’t believe it... when did you get this?” He asked incredulously, now looking at you with a smile on his face.
“Just the other morning.” You chuckled.
“You were asleep and I decided to sneak out and find it before you woke up. It was a hard because no one knew where it was, but I’m glad that I remembered some information that you gave me a couple of days ago.” You continued, feeling his hands in yours. He had put the small box on the bed, reaching out for your hands as soon as they were free.
“I have no words...really. Thank you.” He said looking at your hands and then at your eyes.
Your hands intertwined and you got lost in his gaze, a gaze full of adoration and gratitude that made you feel warm and loved.
“I should be the one saying thank you. Jimin you’re my saviour.” You muttered without deataching your gaze from his.
His hands reached for your cheek and he caressed it with his thumb, looking for a moment at your red lips before speaking up again.
“I think I’m falling in love with you.” He whispered, now the distance between your faces was shorter than ever before.
“I think I’m in love with you too.” You laughed touching his wrist, his hand still on your cheek.
“Who would have thought that I would have fell in love with a princess” he smiled, all fears pushed aside when he saw your lips curve at those words. You felt the same.
After a brief chuckle you couldn’t help but kiss him delicately, touching his lips with your and reaching to touch his neck, brushing his hair with your finger.
He responded almost instantly, pushing you as close as possible to him with eagerness.
Jimin held you close, squeezing your waist with his hands and pushing you on top of the bed without breaking the kiss.
“I guess from now on it’ll just be us..” he murmured in between the kisses.
“The with and the princess” he chuckled, kissing your cheek, then you neck, your collarbone.
You laughed and moaned at his touch.
“I wouldn’t want it any other way” you said, falling deeply in love and thinking about how bright your future with him would be.

My Only | Tatewaki Kuno x Reader
Thoughts are italics in quotations = ‘Example’
Flashbacks are in italics = Example
Word Count : 4325
I decided to finally post this since it was a little idea i had a long time ago, and never really finished. Kuno was headass...but cute nonetheless.
My Only
Walking along the halls of her new school, (f/n) held on tightly to her leather bookbag strap, biting the inside of her left cheek in anxiousness.
‘I’m late,’ she thought worriedly. ‘So...maybe I shouldn't go in at all… Maybe I should just wait till tomorrow.’ She added with a worried crease to her (dark/light) brow.
‘ Everyone is going to be staring…’ she grimaced at the thought of having all eyes on her staring at her with expectancy and wonder. Just the thought of it made her palms sweaty and legs go overwhelmingly wobbly.
‘I’d never miss any days anyways,’ She argued, ‘Just one… the first shouldn't really matter…’ She went on, but as she contemplated the decision of just leaving it all for the next day, she found herself already at the door to her new classroom.
Looking down at the small index card she looked back up at the number a second and third time for good measure.
“This is the right classroom…” she said swallowing hard, already feeling her heart going into full gear and pounding restlessly in her chest.
Her hand nervously rose to tap on the door, but stopped inches before she could reach it as her nerves got the better of her. From the window on the door, she could see her new instructor already giving a lesson, writing on the chalkboard with quick swift movements, completely leaving behind a couple of scrambling students on important notes, those who bothered to pay attention at least.
Everyone else stared on with glazed looks, present, but not truly there.
She realized that if she walked in then, she'd be interrupting an ongoing lesson, and the professor didn't look lenient at all from his stern look and obvious frustration.
“I would have been here earlier,” She defended herself, “ But my alarm is busted,” she went on, knowing that even if she had an excuse, it really didn't matter. She’d had a hard ass instructor before, and unfortunately had the luck or getting one just about every year.
Hanging her head, she sighed deeply. “I can't do this,” she said defeated, backing up.
With that one step, rather than a quick retreat she found herself bumping into another body. As an immediate response, she jumped away from the new person in fright and stared at them wide-eyed, (e/c) eyes fully rounded and alert.
Before her stood another student, evident by the furinkan high uniform that was identical to hers. Her hair was a silky brown color, the longest strands not even reaching past her chin. Hime styled bangs hid her eyebrows, stopping in a curved cut right over her eyes, framing the entirety of her face nicely in a precise cut. And between her two closed, peachy lips was a small white stick which she brought out, revealing it to be a red-colored, cherry-flavored lollipop.
The brunette trained her eyes on the shaken girl and sized her up, studying her with keen eyes before she spoke, “You're the new student.” she started, showing a slight smirk, an almost permanent expression she found herself making, but not that the new girl knew that.
Eagerly nodding, (f/n) stared at her feet, embarrassed to be called out so easily.
She probably stuck out like a sore thumb…
“ boy, you’re real shy aren't you?” The bowl cut female said chuckling, finding it amusing and well, just plain cute enough to make her interested in the flustered girl. She was so used to the usual strong personalities and craziness that the meek girl before her actually seemed interesting... dare she say out of this world.
In Fact the only softer person she could name was her sister Kasumi, but Kasumi was more modest than meek.
(f/n) raised her eyes up at the comment, seemingly taken back. It wasn’t to say the brunette was wrong but wasn't it reasonable for (f/n) to be nervous?
This was the first day of school for her, her first day meeting people, moving to a new place, a new world, and life, wouldn't anyone else be just as nervous?
‘Day 1 and I’m already labeled’ (f/n) thought shrinking back, ‘I don’t want to be known as anything else but my name. And I don’t want some dorky name to follow me around !’ she thought with a grimace, shaking her head in denial. But before she could defend herself, the other girl spoke, interrupting her upcoming protest,
“ You already got good points for being cute, acting all shy like that, the guys here are gonna swallow you whole,” she said as a matter a fact, placing a hand to her hip.
At the blunt comment ( f/n) did a double-take, forming a horrified expression.
“Wait, wait ! what do you mean?! Swallow me up whole?”( f/n) said gasping, finding it hard not to stutter at such a comment.
“ This school is full of some real hounds… if you act like that all the time, I'm positive you won't survive and trust me, there are some persistent guys here...I know some personally.” The brunette stated, lifting her chin up with a grin, almost like it was something to be proud of.
“Oh no,” (f/n) said worriedly, “ that’s troublesome,” she added, not being able to imagine such a scene, not being able to handle the thought of having to have to actually have to fight guys off.
Back at her old school there wasn't much of a conundrum, for the most part, it was the usual boring school days filled with even boringer lessons and homework, but at the very least she hadn’t been harassed.
‘Maybe I should skip the whole school year,’ (f/n) thought deadpanned. ‘Not show up at all,’ She added, her shoulders slumping.
“Where are my manners,” the brunette said shaking her head. “ Nabiki Tendo,” she said extending out an open hand to the (e/c) eyed girl. Smiling, albeit in a troubled manner, (f/n) took the greeting with welcome, taking Nabiki’s hand.
“(f/n)( l/n)” she responded with placid kindness.
“So, you gonna walk in?” Nabiki said pointing her chin to the closed door, receiving a tight smile from the other teen.
“If you want me to be honest, I'm not even sure if I can...or want to,” (f/n) admitted sighing, receiving a simple, small ‘ah.’ from the other student.
Nabiki seemed to stop and think about something before snapping her fingers together suddenly.
“Say, You wanna ditch this class?” she offered with a bright-eyed twinkle to her eye.
“ You're already late, actually missed over half the instruction,” she said shrugging, “so what do you say, wanna skip?” She offered smiling brightly, hoping to convince the girl and find something to do other than sit through a boring lecture.
“After the first half we usually sit down and stay shut, The teach doesn't like noise,” Nabiki said rather annoyed, “So we’d just be in there doing nothing,” she said with an eye roll. “So yeah?” She asked with a coy grin, hoping to convince the girl.
“Skip?”( f/n) repeated worriedly, “but...won't we get in trouble?” she asked in a hushed tone.
Nabiki shrugged, “I never have.” She said without an eyebat. “I’m what you call a repeat offender,” she said smirking at the look she received, which was one of astounded surprise.
“ So you do this a lot don’t you?”( f/n) asked raising a brow, her tone being lingered with a sense of judgment.
“Hey, don’t judge, weren't you gonna do it just a few minutes ago?” Nabiki said with a challenging look, crossing her arms and staring down at (f/n). (f/n) backed down sighing, “ i was only thinking about it,” she muttered embarrassed, “not like I was gonna pull through with it.” she added.
“Well, I’ve decided for you,” Nabiki said as she smiled, grabbing the other girl's wrist and pulling her along.
“ Listen goodie two shoes, it’s nice to let loose once in a while,” she said, offering advice, “ be bad for once,” she added, making (f/n) roll her eyes playfully, a gleeful, little grin coming over her.
‘First day and I'm already skipping,’ she thought feeling slightly excited, being dragged by the other girl. ‘This is actually the baddest thing I've ever done!’ she inwardly squealed, almost shaking.
Feeling the grip on her wrist fall, (f/n) looked to the side to see Nabiki walking beside her nonchalantly, like she wasn’t roaming around with the risk of being caught.
“ so what should we do first? “ (f/n) asked excitedly, making Nabiki's eyebrows rise and her face blossom with amusement, “ so I was right, it’s your First time?” She said chuckling.
With an enthusiastic nod (f/n) confirmed.
“Well, sorry to disappoint, but It's not a big deal, not that exciting,” Tendo said chuckling, “i was just gonna go see a classmate of mine, he got his butt handed pretty bad by this other kid this morning,” she said shaking her head at the memory. The present excitement faded from (f/n)’s face and a look of concern settled onto her instead. “Is he being bullied?” she said worriedly, feeling bad for the poor guy already.
At that, Nabiki almost choked on the hard candy, pulling it out harshly to save herself.
“ if anything the idiot deserved it!” she said laughing, using her other hand to give (f/n) a pat on the shoulder, “trust me, he had it coming, so don't feel too bad.”
“But isn’t he your friend?” (f/n) asked with confusion.
“Loosely, “ Nabiki said flatly.
She wasn’t friends with Kuno. But at the same time, she wasn't not friends with him either...if that made any sense.
He’d been her associate before, if she could call him that.
...Or her customer if that was more fitting.
Between both Akane and Ranma, Nabiki was able to get enough pictures to sell to the doofus, making easy cash, so of course, she’d care just enough.
‘You do seem to care… even just a bit,’ (f/n) observed. ‘Even if you don’t want to show it,’ she added, watching Nibiki’s defensiveness.
“ oh Alright, “ (f/n) said nodding, offering an amused chuckle at the response,
“can’t wait to meet him then,” She added.
“If he's even awake,” Nabiki interjected, “ come on I’ll lead the way,” Nabiki said walking ahead, knowing the direction by heart, having the other girl trail behind, taking in everything she could.
“Well, we're here,” Nabiki said throwing her candy’s white, little stick in the trash bin as they entered the open room.
“And there he is,” Tendo muttered, outstretching her hand to the unconscious male. “Still out cold i see,” she added with a snicker, jabbing her finger to his cheek.
“Not even a noise, “ she observed, looking back to her new friend, waving her closer.
“This right here is Kuno, Tatewake Kuno,” Nabiki said with a shake of her head. “That’s one name you’ll hear around here pretty much every day,” she informed her.
As (f/n) glanced down to the sleeping boy, she felt a dust of pink touch her cheeks, crawling up to the tips of her ears, making her face match the color of ripe, little cherries.
‘He’s really cute...’ she thought to herself, her hand absentmindedly going to lay over her warmed cheek.
He wasn't even awake and was making her blush a few shades of red, her heart racing like a wild stallion at his close presence. Nabiki noticed the obvious change, and stared wide-eyed, her dark chocolate eyes filled with shock,
“No way…” she mumbled not sure whether to facepalm, or succumb into a large fit of laughter. “There’s no way, “ she muttered, going unnoticed by the other girl as all her focus lay on the teenage boy.
‘ The girl could not have possibly gained a crush on that enormous moron,’ Nabiki tried to reason. She hadn’t even thought it possible, but once she saw the notable affection glittering in (f/n)’s eyes, she sighed,‘ She's got it bad for him already.’
It hadn't even crossed her mind that it was a possibility...It was just that stupid.
But now what was she to do?
‘I guess the idiot is kinda cute,’ Tendo argued, though she felt a bitter taste in her mouth as she admitted it. ‘It’s not like i haven't noticed, but…’ She trailed off, shaking her head, ‘I guess there is someone for everyone,’ she mused, ‘That is if he can stop being such a dog,’ She added, uncertain on him even being capable of it.
The school nurse came from her small office and took notice the two extra students in her little room and smiled at them, not at all bothered or concerned by the extra people,
“You two don't have to worry about him, he should come to soon enough.” She said placing a hand over both of their heads, making them look up at her.
“He's a pretty stubborn headed one, so I don't think a little knockout is gonna get him to stop walking around like he usually does,” she said eyeing Tatewake with an amused gleam in her brown eyes.
“You mean like he owns the place?” Nabiki said flatly, not being the least bit willing to hold back her remarks.
The middle-aged woman didn't answer, only giving the younger a knowing look, rolling her eyes. She didn't want to say it out loud, but since the teen already did, she had no choice but to agree silently.
Bending down to the mischievous teen, the chummy nurse pinched her cheek,“ Nabiki Tendo, you look out for this boy,” she advised, pulling at the caught bit of flesh with a frown, “He comes in here about every week! You know, you should really talk him out of those silly fights with that Saotome boy.” she said for what seemed like the umpteenth time, pestering the Tendo female.
(f/n) could tell it was almost rehearsed at this point with how much it had probably been stated before, meanwhile, Nabiki shrugged, pursing her lips.
“Aww, Then how would I get out of instruction Mrs. Ito?” She said pouting, making the elder woman give her a halfhearted glare.
Shaking her head, Mrs. Ito sighed,
“You little devil.” She muttered, then focusing her eyes onto the other girl, a new face she hadn't seen before.
She smiled in welcome, shooting the new girl a flashy smile,
“ Hey, don't let this one get you into too much trouble,” she advised jutting her thumb to the smirking girl, “ Behind that sweet little face is a little demon,” she said ignoring the halfhearted glare shot at her by the so-called demon.
“Don't look at me like that kiddo, how about you come here and help me if you're going to cut class again, do something productive,” she said beckoning the short-haired girl with her index finger.
Groaning Nabiki stood up and walked over to the nurse,
“Ahhhhh work,” she said in a flat voice.
“I don't want to hear it.” Mrs. Ito said laughing at the obvious display of displeasure.
As Nabiki and Mrs. Ito disappeared to the back, (f/n) trailed her eyes back to the sleeping teen.
Quietly approaching him, she stood before him and stared down at his sleeping face as she did before, this time taking time to really study his features.
Before she had tried to be discreet, knowing more than one person would call her out on the ogling, but now she could feel unashamed.
In her preoccupation, she failed to notice Mrs. Ito peer over from the doorway and give her a grin, watching her fluster over the unconscious boy.
“ She wasn't kidding,” The nurse said shaking her head.
As soon as she walked into the back with Nabiki, the girl didn't waste time in voicing her suspicions, all with an amused grin.
“ care to change the cloth on his forehead?” she said out loud, surprising the daydreaming teenager. (f/n) turned to her immediately, stepping back from the unconscious boy, like she’d been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to,
“ I've got my hands tied back here sweetie, is it too much to ask?” The nurse said offering her a pleading look. (f/n) shook her head, “No trouble Mrs. Ito, I'll get right to it!” she said sparing another glance at Tatewaki before making her way to the sink.
Wringing a cloth, she carefully brushed the dark, lightly curled hairs covering his forehead aside with gentleness, placing the white towel on his forehead. Absentmindedly, her touch lingered as she ran her fingers through the brunettes soft, wavy strands, easily passing through them and feeling the dark hairs slip in between her fingers.
Before she could retract her hand his two eyes open to reveal blue tanzanite’s staring back up at her with a piercing gaze, making her gasp in surprise.
“ I must have died, “ he said softly, training his eyes on her, not seeing anything but the lovely face above him.
“ Only there could I see such an angel glance down upon me,” He added, almost too smoothly.
With a softly formed smile, he stood straight up and turned to her, capturing her small hand in his. He seemed to pull himself together quickly, the injury he had a thing of the distant past like it had never even been there.
It was then that an obnoxious, loud laugh cut through the room, Nabiki walking forward, shielding her tearing eyes with a hand.
“ no, no, no, Kuno baby, no! You didn't just say that!” she said snickering. meanwhile (f/n) was left tongue-tied, her brain going fuzzy as she took in his words.
Tatewaki on the other hand glared at his short-haired classmate, his eyes immediately finding her and narrowing,
“ well if it isn't Nabiki Tendo again...with you here I wouldn't imagine it being heaven. Perhaps a hellish world instead.” he said less than pleased, “ But such judgment from you Tendo... Could it be your envious?” he asked smirking in her direction, to which the girl shook her head, visibly gagging.
“ Kuno baby, I wouldn't touch you with a 10-foot pole,” she said smoothly, placing her hands on her hips, sticking her tongue out at him childishly.
“ I wouldn't care if you did, for I have no interest in you bothersome girl!” Tatewaki said immediately, turning back to (f/n). Whilst still taking hold of her hand, he stepped off from the bed, standing at his full height, leaving the teen even more surprised with the difference.
“ Forgive me, my sweet angel,” he said, offering her a charming smile. “I would have noticed a lovely girl like you… may i assume your new here?” he asked her.
Nodding furiously, (f/n) answered him, “ Y-yes, (f/n) (l/n),” she uttered out breathlessly, staring deeply into his blue eyes.
“ Tatewaki Kuno,” he introduced himself, lifting up her hand to lay a kiss on the flesh, “It is a pleasure to me-” He was cut short as (f/n) was pulled away,
“ Oh look at the time,” Nabiki said suddenly, whisking his new infatuation away.
His first meeting with her had been interrupted, leaving him even more intrigued with the girl. Determined, he pursued her, though admittedly straying in other directions from time to time.
But he argued It wasn’t his fault, something no one else seemed to understand, not even the (h/c) haired girl he’d become so close with.
After months of friendship, his ways put a damper in their growing relationship, becoming something he couldn't bear,
And it was then he made his decision,
“My eyes no longer wonder!” he assured her, taking a hold of her hand in his, pulling her back. With the force she came towards him, nearly crashing back to him.
He was quick to take the other hand in his opposite one, lifting them up to his lips at the same time.
Kissing the tips of her knuckles gently, he took a large breath, kneeling down before her, falling to one knee.
Her eyes nearly popped right out of their sockets as she stared at him, her stomach dropping in that very instant. Aside from that, she felt embarrassment, knowing they were at the center of a scene, fallen beneath all of Furinkan high’s population.
“(f/n), my love, I assure you that I only breathe for your existence now my sweet. “ He started, “ Akane Tendo, nor the pigtailed girl are as beautiful as you, or as captivating. In fact, no other woman alive could compare to you! You single-handedly have stolen my heart, ” He said smiling up at her with complete adoration.
‘ A true Goddess, of not one, but all realms and lifetimes, my (f/n)!’ He thought with a soft sigh, an arrow wedged within his heart, pointing right at the (h/c) haired young girl.
He knew that anyone that could wash away the pigtailed girl, and above all Akane Tendo had to be the one. Anyone that had made him tear down their portraits without regret was the one to own the entirety of his being.
Withdrawing her hand from his, she placed them over her face, hiding her two blazing cheeks from him.
“ st-stop saying stuff like that! ” she squealed, shaking her head with denial,“You can’t be serious!” she said stunned, but also on edge.
He couldn't really be so ‘ in love ’ as he claimed
… could he?
She’d known him for ⅔ ‘s of the school year, considering she arrived later than the had year began. It hadn’t been enough time to basically declare such a thing,.
But then again…
‘We’ve gone out together….’ He’d taken her out many times, but of course, just as friends, that being the ruse.
‘ Friends don’t go out alone for fancy dinners… Friends don’t buy roses…’ She thought to herself immediately afterward.
‘He hadn’t mentioned Akane… of Ranma in months…’ She contemplated, ‘In Fact… this is the first time he even talks about them…’ She went on.
‘Is he really... really done with them...all for me?’ she pondered, shaking her head with denial,
‘ No … He’s an idiot!’ she thought with tightened fists, looking away from him, turning with a cold shoulder.
If he didn’t care about Akane, then why was he arguing with Ranma to begin with? The only reason would be his feminine form or Tendo...
Seeing (f/n) turn away from him, Kuno immediately stood up with worry creased brows, trying to find the words to sway her,
“I know I have been a scoundrel... my eyes have wandered far too many times, as my heart
- but my love!” he started, crying out to her. “ I swear to you that I would never stand before you and spew lies!” he swore.
With an eye roll, Ranma stepped forward, shoving Tatewake, “ As much as I hate this idiot… he’s not lying.” Ranma said with assurance. “He wanted to pick a fight with me because he thought I was trying to steal you away,” he said with annoyance.
“ Steal me away?” (f/n) murmured dumbly, struck by absolute disbelief.
‘He was fighting over me?’ she went on, her heart going it’s fastest it’d ever gone, her (e/c) colored eyes glazing over at the gesture.
“My dear, are my words and declaration of love too much for your gentle heart? Have they finally reached you?” he asked worriedly, truly showing a face of concern, an unmistakable look of genuine worry, but deep down within being joy-filled.
“The fire within my passionate heart blazes and burns for you, I could not ever give you anything less than my full affection,” he said somewhat dejected, unable to show her any less than his 100%. “And I will fight for you, every day of my life, so long as you know i am yours,”
‘ oh god...he's such a cornball, but a stupid sweet…. Cute.. cornball! ’ she thought not feeling her blushing die out. Instead, she launched herself towards the chocolate haired teen and placed a gentle kiss onto his soft lips, feeling a rush of excitement coursed through her veins at doing so.
She hadn't even thought it out, simply gone ahead and done it, her body moving to get a taste of the craving her heart’s been dying for.
From her closed eyes, she didn't see his own touch of red on his cheeks or the way his blue eyes sparkled with desire and affection.
His arms locked around her small body and hold her up, raising her to come up to meet his height with an effortless swoop.
Her feet dangled above the ground as she was lifted up, the two swinging with happiness as she was pouring all of herself into the loving smooch. Her hands came to his shoulders and wrapped themselves around his neck tightly as he spun her around once, all while joyous laughter arose from his chest.
“Now that you are mine,” he started, “ I have nothing more to hide,” he continued on, giving her sweet eskimo kisses, brushing his nose on hers. He grinned wildly as he watched her cherry-red face while she returned his affection.
He could openly love her, and have his endearments returned…
“ Oh, My darling angel… I love you, I love you so, so very much,” he said softly, a glazing look washing over his eyes making them seemed like polished blue stone.
With a quick snap, Nabiki sighed, “Well, I guess that's the last of them,” she muttered to herself with disappointment, though with a small smile drawn over her that was both genuine and happy for the two.
“This one will be on the house,” she said to herself, looking down at the couple's first, official picture together.

Studying
Request: Hello! do you think you would do something for Stan where he’s dating the ready and they got to her house for the first time, when they go into the room he sees she had a bunch of like monster high dolls, plushies, anime figures. She just had a much of weird poster n shit her room. She gets nervous because she thinks he’ll think it’s weird and wanna live her. but her thinks it’s cute. Or something. Sorry this is long. your work is amazing and I know you could make something great out of this. 💗
Warnings: none
It was agreed upon the entire school body that Mr. Baker was the worst and most boring chemistry teacher in the world; but, lucky for me, I had a super cute curly haired boyfriend to keep me entertained.
“Do you think he’s always been boring?” I asked Stan, my hand pressed against my cheek as I leaned on it.
“There’s no way he wasn’t born into his boringness. That kind of talent has to be genetic,” he explained, looking between me and the board as he wrote down notes.
“Yeah, that’s a good point,” I agreed, staring up at him. “At least he lost his hearing aids so now I can talk to you.”
“Why aren’t you writing your notes?” Stan asked, ignoring my previous statement.
“I don’t feel like it,” I whined. “Besides, I don’t need notes when I can just study with you.”
“Well why don’t we study tonight then?” He suggested.
“Okay!” I agreed instantly.
“Awesome. My dad’s home right now so we probably shouldn’t go there, can we go to yours?” He questioned.
“Yeah, sure!”
It wasn’t until last period that I remembered why I had never invited Stan over before. My room was littered with posters and embarrassing decorations. Before I had any time to think of an excuse or way out, the dismissal bell rang.
I walked to my locker, finding Stan standing there waiting for me. He grinned when we locked eyes.
“You ready?” He asked as soon was next to him. He stared at me with excited eyes and I knew I couldn’t bare to cancel on him now.
“Yeah, let me just grab my bag,” I replied, giving him a smile. I opened my locker, grabbing my bag and putting my needed notebooks in it before closing it. “Let’s go.”
He led me to his car before we both got in and he drove us to my house.
Once we arrived, we walked through and I led him to the living room, setting my stuff down.
“Aren’t we going to your room?” He asked.
“What if we just hung out here?” I questioned, hoping he would buy into it. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes squinted ever so slightly.
“What’s going on with you?” I let out a sigh. There was no way out. I silently took his hand and led him to my room. I opened the door and stood to the side, allowing him to see it in its entirety.
His eyes roamed over the entire room.
“Do you think I’m weird?” I asked hesitantly. He turned around and looked at me in surprise.
“Not at all,” he started. I let out a sigh of relief. “If anything, I like you more. This is really cool.”
“You really think so?” I questioned. He let out a small laugh.
“Yeah! You made this space your own. Everything about it screams ‘you’. I love it,” he assured me.
“You’re the best,” I told him, a grin forming on my face.
“I try,” he teased, “Now let’s study so you don’t fail chemistry.”

I’m Not Anti-Vax. I’m Anti-THIS-Vax!
by Joe Janes
YELP REVIEW: COVID-19 Vaccination
United Center, Chicago, IL
Pfizer & Pfizer
ONE out of FIVE Stars
The lowest rating Yelp allows in one star. I would give my experience ½ a star if I could! Same as my reviews of the city water fountain on the lake path near Montrose, the tree in my yard, and Yelp itself.
Look. I believe in science, but only to a limit. I was very excited when I discovered my neighborhood was a high-risk area for COVID which pushed my zip code ahead of the line to receive the vaccine. My appointment was at 11:30am and, yes, I showed up a half hour early and, no, they didn’t make me wait. I was in and out of there in less than half an hour. A less than half an hour that I will never get back!
Here are my complaints –
- No Snacks! Anywhere. Not even mints as you leave. This is just rude. I just did something for my country and I don’t even get a cookie or a small bag of chips? Juice? Major fail, Uncle Sam. When I gave blood one time at work several years or so ago – BLOOD, mind you – I was given as many snacks as I could wolf down in 15 minutes. The Red Cross cared that I gave them my life’s second most precious fluid. What exactly are my tax dollars being wasted on? Welfare? School lunch programs?
- BORING uniforms! Ugh. No imagination. It was like a grade school Halloween party where you can either be a fake doctor or play soldier. All tricks. No treats. Seriously, everyone was either in scrubs or camouflage. Camouflage? Really? What are they trying to hide?
- Scam! The person who gave me my shot was one of their cos-play soldiers. I played along. “Aye-aye, Derek!” I rolled my sleeve up to my sweater vest and turned my head. The shot was quick and painless which makes me wonder if “GI Derek” even gave me a shot. I asked to speak to a manager and was rudely told I needed to move along. I’m consulting with my lawyer about this. (BTW – Bring your own fashionable bandage. This “flesh” tone one looks like a hideous age spot upon my porcelain pores.)
- Smiling! It also bothered me that Derek kept smiling. Sure, he had a mask on, but his eyes had a big toothy grin. People are dying from COVID-19. Is it too much to ask for a man in uniform to take a deadly virus seriously?
- More Boringness! I didn’t have to wait to get in and get my shot, but I sure did have to wait before leaving. Big tent, spread out chairs, no music, no television, no magazines, no folk singers. Joe Biden can’t afford to put up a TV with Fox News on it? Really? They don’t want the outside world to be coughing the truth on you in the vaccine tent.
- NO SNACKS! When you wait, they have a person assigned to you. They approach you as soon as you sit down. This person – Sasha, her name probably was – said hello and then refused to take my order for a light appetizer and hot water with lemon. Nothing.
- Not smiling! Would it hurt Sasha to smile? Her mask creases never moved. Needless to say, I did not tip Sasha.
- No consent! The final insult? They automatically signed me up for a second appointment. Um, excuse me? Ever heard of consensual vaccinations? This is America and why I cry.
Were there side effects? Hell, yes, there were side effects! I immediately became cranky and have been sore ever since. There was also some diarrhea after I ate some hot wings at a bar across the street afterwards (Three out of Five stars). I’ll go back for my second shot if the government apologizes for the horrid treatment and promises me a reasonable amount of snacks. And juice.

It is me or are ppl really sleeping on Dedue?
To the point that ppl seem to shoehorn other characters into that same role/ space while he’s right there.
Like whatever Rhea’s backstory is she’s been in power and privilege for the last 1000 years, she’s a fantasy creature, and everything about the distant past is subject to unreliable narration as we hear like 5 different versions of it all from biased sources (though I’d say Seteth is probably the most believable one, he was there, and he’s an honest guy)
Whereas Dedue is flat out a survivor of extreme prejudice, no ambiguity, no metaphors, no fantasy magic nor unreliable narration involved, absolutely non-debatable.
If you’re looking for a character who’s totally focussed on their social role/another person because of poor self-esteem and not sufficiently knowing that they matter themselves that’s also Dedue.
Not Hubert. Like noo guys. Hubert states many times that he follows Edelgard out of conviction and no longer because of the tradition or because his father made him. He has his own reasons for hating corrupt nobles and the church. (Most apparent, I think, in the Byleth A and the Hanneman B support, but he mocks the church and the knights like all the time.). If anything, he’s less scrupulous than her (though I wouldn’t say that he’s completely amoral; He definitely has things that he repudiates (corruption) and outright tells Linny that he wouldn’t be friends with someone who’d abandon a person in need, or tells Byleth that he’s one of those people who can’t bring themselves to believe in a just god because of the evil in the world).
He also does pretty much whatever the fuck he wants, which is also established many, many times. Which Edelgard most certainly knows. She likes this. She listens to him (insofar as she listens to anyone), but she does so because she likes and agrees with his attitude. She chose to make this guy her right-hand advisor. She cares nothing for tradition and would’ve given him the boot and grabbed another advisor/attendant if she didn’t think he was supremely useful, and, as she put it “always right”. She kept him despite the tradition, because she likes intelligent, reason-driven people and he’s the third smartest person in all of Fodlan (numbers one and two are, of course, Claude and Lysithea). Plus he’s an accomplished mage without a crest. He isn’t even the loosest cannon in the imperial arsenal. She cares only about results, whether you’re from a peasant background like Manuela and Dorothea, unconventional/quirky like Linhardt or Bernie, or... whatever you’d call Hubert and Jeritza. So you could say that her leadership style certainly has both advantages and disadvantages. But Hubert himself seems overall pretty content with his position and doesn’t really expect anything else, because, after all, he chose it. Though we certainly have his father’s treahery as a cynism catalyst that lead him to be this super disillusioned cynical irreverent person who’s very slow to trust.
It also can’t be because Dedue is boring. This is evident when you compare him to say Cyril, who also has the sort of effed-up past that, in RL, would deserve sympathy by default, but in the end this isn’t a charity for real people but fictional entertainment and he’s just not likeable. (likeability being subjective of course - there’s clearly SOME ppl who DO like him, and why shouldn’t they?)
I mean boringness is subjective but Dedue has a whole load of characterization besides the fucked up backstory. there’s always that protective layer you need to get through (which is only realistic) but if you actually try to get to know him he’s got a lot of traits and hobbies and distinctive attitudes and complexities tragic plots.
Like on the one hand he and Dimitri are as glued-together as they are because no one else can remotely understand what it means to have all your friends and family massacred in front of you, they’re both people who are naturally nice and peace-loving but wound up with the capacity for ugly desperate actions because of what they’ve been through but there’s also a contrast, they’re both sort of repressed but in different ways (though you could say that both struggle to express anger on their own behalf and thus channel it onto anger on behalf of others), Dimitri’s clumsy and emotionally volatile whereas Dedue is very careful/dexterous and calm, and that’s where the tragic part comes in.
Because while he’ll go on with whatever Dimitri says cause he owes him his life and has nowhere else to go it’s quite clear that that’s not exactly what he wants (You get support points if you ask him what he wants even if he doesn’t give you a clear answer) - I bet he’d like nothing more than to just go live a peaceful life somewhere together without bothering with the revenge thing. (Though he’s got a better explanation/excuse than the rest of Team Kingdom, among whom no one will tell Dimitri to stop because of their culture’s overemphasis on loyalty. Even Felix doesn’t do much more than complain. It takes Byleth, a more pragmatic, cool-minded outsider to Faerghus, to put a stop to the kamikaze mission. )
He also has really sweet dynamics with Ashe and Flayn (who canonically like him even on other routes), also Mercedes and Sylvain if you did those supports. Because he’s kind of retreated completely into his social role as a vassal cause he has little else left and at this point he’s so used to being scorned that he preemptively tells ppl to keep their distance, but if you put in the minimum effort to actually get to know him you see this sweet, chill domestic young man who’s still there underneath. (Again contrast Hubert, whom you can’t really get much personal conversation out of, even Edelgard who’s known him all her life struggles to get him to spill what he’s really thinking, cause he’d just tell her what he thinks it would be useful for her to hear. And with Byleth he plain doesn’t trust them early on. He’s simply committed to being a consummate professional, by deliberate choice, though he definitely does have his own dephts to get to know, like being a bit self-conscious about his ‘scary’ mannerisms or ultimately being motivated by wanting to do something worthwhile and impactful with his short human life)
Ultimately, Dedue is very honorable, community-minded and reputation-conscious which means that he ironically fits in quite well with the Kingdom students, though that also probably makes it a special kind of hell to not only lose his community but to be stereotyped as a dishonorable scoundrel, because he cares quite a bit about his honor and reputation and that of his friends (see the Dimitri, Sylvain and Byleth supports) which puts him in this situation where he feels he can’t really be their friend without tarnishing their honor, there’s a complex mix of feelings where he’s of course as frustrated as any human being would be but has also partially internalized some of the crap from years of constant bombardment.
The function of anger as an emotion is to ensure just treatment in the group, so for someone to just lie down and take crap like that it shows that they’ve totally given up on getting justice so for me at least this is really a character that I really want to see good things happen to and that makes me cheer every time someone thinks of him or when something good happens to him.
Like in a setting where nearly everyone’s backstory sucked his is quite possibly the worst. Only Jeritza and Lysithea (mostly because of the early death thing) even come remotely close.
I feel like ppl would be all over this character if he were a bishie or cute girl, like just because of the “hides behind defense mechanisms but you can see his true self if you bother to be halfway decent” thing. Like usually ppl are all over that.
Like to summarize we have a sad backstory, a tragic loyalty conflict, a frequently misunderstood demeanor that’s the product of a tragic past, a basically sweet disposition that’s still not without the capacity for darkness, ample potential for wholesome Friendships (or more romantic ‘ships), what’s not to like?
Plus he’s got like one of the sweetest goddess tower events and S-supports. He gives you his jackets and looks at the starts with you etc. Bit too wholesome for my personal tastes [stuffs El, Hubert, Felix and Linhardt paraphernalia back into closet] but objectively loveable.
tl;dr: Let’s all appreciate Supreme Chef Deddie-pie.

Very Cute!
@soulwitch
There was the sound of a person screaming following a massive flood of scalding water coming from above them. The defender in this case, had broiled her would be mugger in a single hit.
“BORING! Do something much more random, like... kill people that you've never met. You only attacked me because i’m on posters.”
Sofia, better known as Roku to her idol fans, was a doll similar to the ones that Makoto had created but more along the lines of a magical cyborg. She was out on the hunt. Sofia often went where there were mages. Mages meant that there were scrolls to steal or titles to earn. So far, Furuzeki seemed to be devoid of any magecraft. A lot of true magic, but that was beyond her powers as doll.
The boiling water continued to bubble around her hands for several seconds before she cooled down.
“I just want to have a little fun. Tsk. For being a gangster, you were pathetic. No fun at all! I didn’t even get a chance to use my cute face.”
The doll then proceeded to kick the corpse, sending it flying and crashing into a pile of rubble and garbage.
“Pathetic. Honestly. I heard that this city was supposed to be crawling with mages and occultists. All I’ve seen are a bunch of boring idols and even boringer gangsters. Why did Hana choose this shitty city of all places to crash? Her and I had a thing going. Now I’m looking like a hero for killing off human trash.”

A short time after her scuffle with the yakuza member, Sophia was now wandering one of the shopping malls in the city. It was easy for her to blend in. She just looked like one of the gothic lolita girls that routinely visited the place.
She felt a tingle. Then a spark. Someone nearby had magical energy. In an almost ballet-like prance, Sofia began to ‘sniff’ out for the person. Maybe it was one of the great mages that people always talked about being in this city. However, the person Sophia ended up encountering was someone completely different. It was Aiharu.
While she looked like the troublemakers that Sophia had recently trashed, this woman seemed more intense. Therefore, much more interesting.
“Ummm....Excuse me, miss. C-Could I ask for your help? I’m looking for a store and I cannot seem to find it...” Sophia said, giving off an innocent vibe.

The Gap
@cynicaldom told me to start washing a load of towels. I did, but I realized the dryer had clothing left in it that included some of his clothing. Shit. I have a rule that says I can’t leave clothing in the dryer. I bring it to the living room and fold it just a few feet from him. He doesn’t say anything. I was surprised he didn’t notice. I knew he had been struggling with depression. He’s always a bit less aware or focused when he’s depressed. I wish I would have been more understanding, but instead, I was childish. I thought that if he wasn’t going to notice then why should I get in trouble over it? If he doesn’t notice then it doesn’t matter, right? Wrong, of course. Him not noticing doesn’t change what I’ve committed to. But in my grumpy mood, I convinced myself not to confess.
I essentially stayed in that headspace for two weeks, off and on. “It doesn’t matter” became my excuse to ignore a variety of little rules and details. There were at least half a dozen little rules broken. The dog food container got left open. I neglected to pick up a couple of glasses that were in the living room when I did the dishes (it’s supposed to be all of them, every time). I made the executive decision to take something off my schedule when I should have gotten his approval. I didn’t finish my last glass of water one night. Some of them were genuine mistakes. I found myself surprised at how quickly I lost focus on the details, how easily I overlooked things once I knew he wasn’t watching as closely as usual. A couple weren’t just accidents. A couple were tantrums because I was frustrated by his slight change in presence and convinced myself I was somehow justified, that him slipping a bit accidentally meant I could toss things aside on purpose.
One day he noticed he hadn’t seen me eating much and asked me to tell him what all I had ate that day. I told him. It was one junk meal and a couple of snacks. He was asking me near bedtime. He made me eat a yogurt before going to bed, which I struggled with a little bit. I tried wrinkling my nose and sort of shrugging off the conversation. He stared at me until I responded to his questions, and kept on me when I said I would eat a yogurt but didn’t stand up to go get one. It occurred to me that I was giving into his will, I was submitting - in this way that isn’t a requirement or a routine. I was a little whiny about it, but I wasn’t about to consider saying “it doesn’t matter.” or trying to truly reject his leadership in this way. The reason was, he was watching, and I would never disobey him when he’s watching...because I know he cares and wouldn’t let anything slide if he saw it in the sense of truly noticing it.
I also started realizing how during my two-week tantrum, I kept doing all the big things. The dishes, my workouts, following all direct instructions. I do these things always because they are obvious, they can’t go unnoticed. I did the big, obvious chores because I knew I’d be in major hot water if I didn’t because he’d see it. I never doubt that if he catches something he’ll follow through, because I know he cares. So it’s ridiculous that I could convince myself if he didn’t notice me acting out, silently and in the shadows, that meant it didn’t matter.
Reality set in, and I knew it would be painful but I had to confess. I knew I would break his heart. I expected a pretty rough punishment. I expected serious disappointment. It took me a couple of days to find the courage, and it only came after he kept asking me what was up. He knew there was something I wasn’t saying and started trying to crack my shell. So I cracked, but we had been messing around and laughing moments before. So it came out in a tone of voice and in a setting that felt really inappropriate for how serious the situation was.
I told him something like “I’ve done a lot of stupid little things that you haven’t noticed. I know you’ve been depressed and that’s why and I’m sorry.” his eyes just seemed so blank. He was so quiet. I wanted to cry but I just wasn’t vulnerable enough to let it out. The air was just so tense and awkward. I eventually asked him what he was thinking and he said “I don’t know” and I knew he really had no idea what to think or feel. It worried me. I’m not used to seeing him thrown off like that. I didn’t know how to feel about his reaction. It gave me anxiety. I told him “I like you” which is our ‘I love you’. He said it back earnestly, nodding and looking me deep in the eyes. I know he’s trying to reassure me but my anxiety ran away with me anyway. The next two days are awkward. He’s quiet and withdrawn, more than is typical when he is depressed, he seems lost more than anything. He never said anything to me other than he didn’t know how he felt about what I confessed. So I don’t know for sure what he is thinking or feeling. I just kind of push through, waiting on a response, trying not to let my thoughts run wild. The second morning, he wakes up after I do. He calls me into the bedroom to cuddle. This is typically common for us, but it hadn’t happened in a while so it feels like coming home. I massage him and we cuddle. He’s more talkative, he is clearly feeling better. I’m happy to feel more like us but I’m so confused about how we never talked through what happened. I hate not having clarity. I hate feeling like this huge mistake is stuck between us.
We go on to have a good day that feels pretty normal. When he comes out of the bedroom holding his belt I don’t realize what his plans are at first. He motions for me to stand up and he takes off my leggings and panties. I step towards the arm of his chair, assuming he’ll put me over it but he sits down instead. I realize the belt is folded really short. ‘Oh...wait..’ I think as it starts to occur to me what is going on. We play in the living room once in a while, but always bent over the furniture, not over his knee. I don’t think he’s ever used his belt for punishment. It’s new territory all around, but my gut knows where it’s headed. As I go over his knee I bend my arm across my lower back, in place for him to hold it. Hoping proactive submission may help somehow. I imagine my expression would have been comical to watch because the first blow is shockingly painful. I don’t really have coherent thoughts for the first few blows, I’m just in shock at the intensity. He pauses and says “When you disobey me when I am depressed you are not being my partner.” and I go from being unable to think about anything but the pain, to being unable to think of anything but those words. I’m instantly sobbing.
In these two days of awkward distance since I confessed, and in the day or two of worrying before confessing, I’ve felt very guilty. I’ve felt ashamed of how childish, selfish and immature I’ve been. I’ve been disappointed in myself for not digging deeper to stay the course and act like I should until he got feeling better. But I hadn’t thought of it quite the way he put it. It hadn’t quite hit me that skirting the little rules, and the details of rules when I know he wouldn’t notice wasn’t just blowing off our D/s, it was rejecting him. I wasn’t partnering with him in our D/s, I wasn’t supporting him or his dominance over me. Once we had a question sent in for the podcast about whether or not we could go back to being vanilla now. He said no, and explained how D/s allows us to connect more intimately than we could before. Going back wouldn’t work because D/s is how we connect the deepest, it is the core of our intimacy. That’s why blowing off the rules is rejecting him, and us. I sob through the spanking, and I think he’s starting to let up as he almost pauses, but he just sighs and then tightens his grip on my arm that he’s holding and lays into me even harder for a handful of more to finish it off. He lets me cry over his lap for a bit and then he tells me to stand. His voice isn't soft yet, I know something is up, I know we aren’t done but I don’t know what that means.
He guides me towards a corner. I’ve never done cornertime before. We’ve talked about the possibility. We’ve talked about how for a typical mistake, it may make me run away with guilt too much, how I don’t usually need help with headspace in a punishment. We talked about how if I were to be angry when I should feel guilty, maybe corner time would be used. I knew this tool was in his toolbox, but he’s never felt the need to use it. I’m not angry now, I’m already feeling guilty, this isn’t to get me into a new emotion. I know it’s just to make me sit with the feeling I already have. With both of his hands on my shoulders, standing behind me he talks into my ear. “ You’re going to stand here for 20 minutes. Unless it gets to be too much, then you come sit on my lap.” I can’t find my voice so I just nod.
It wasn’t what I thought it would be, or how I’ve read it feels to other submissives. It’s hot and sticky to cry with your nose in a corner, your breath bouncing back on your face. I’ve read about how embarrassing it is, like the embarrassment is the real punishment. It didn’t really occur to me that my whipped ass was on display until I adjusted my arms across my back and my fingers felt the heat off my butt. I’ve heard people say the boringness of staring at a wall is the punishing part. I didn’t get bored. I was consumed with my thoughts. I just stood there crying for 20 minutes, thinking about how this was a huge mistake. Easily my biggest failing this year, probably in two years. Thinking about how I hurt my Daddy so much it took him two days to process it himself and to deal with me. How I disappointed him, and how he was surprised at what I’ve done because he thinks higher of me than this. How I hurt our relationship. I tried to think of what I could say to him once I was done. Towards the end I started to calm down a bit. My eyes and throat itched, my stomach hurt - but the crying was cleansing too. As difficult as it was, I realized while still standing in the corner that I’m lucky that he’s willing to punish me because I need the catharsis.
He physically pulled me from the corner at the end, and onto his lap. I buried my head in his neck and my hand into his beard. Having no physical distance between us was comforting, but sensing how the emotional gap had disappeared felt far better. I cried more. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t watching you closer. This is all done now. It’s over.” he said. I cried harder. It took me a while to find my voice. "I’m sorry.” I finally squeaked out. “Oh, I know you are.” he said in a voice so soft and genuinely that it hurt. I tried finding words but couldn’t. “No. It’s done. It’s over.” he said in response to seeing me try to find something to say. I shook my head. “I know. I do. But I just want to say that I appreciate you. It’s awful. I know it must be hard for you. I’m sorry for making you do this. I mean..not ‘making’ you? But..just..for putting us in this situation where it’s needed? I don’t know how to say it right..” he said he understood my point. We sat together for a long time.
Our relationship ebbs and flows a bit. At it’s best, it sometimes feels like we are two parts of the same whole. We click, we work together in a way that feels too seamless to be separate. It can’t stay seamless all the time, life, emotions, mental illness, stress, other things get in the way sometimes and cause a gap. Often I feel a bit more of a gap when he’s depressed even though he does his best to remain present, I can just feel the fog as it comes over him. I don’t like that gap, but behaving poorly isn’t the way to close the distance. He doesn’t deserve the hurt I cause when I disobey him and it makes things so much worse for our relationship. I need to do my very best to hold firm to my submission, to stay in place, that’s how I keep the gap as small as possible. Neglecting my submission kicks at our D/s which turns the gap into a crater. I’m going to do better.
