A Train to Busan (NSFW) FT Chaehyun

Author note: So I remember reading a prompt somewhere about 3 Busty Busan Beauties and this was the first that came to mind probably going to make this a mini-series so stay tuned for more. Shoutout to @leafostuff for the idea

Part II

I grab my ticket to ride the train. I loved trains ever since I was a kid and the super train on Lightspeed Rescue flew into the skies I knew I was hooked (iykyk) so I made a point of taking every “famous train” in the world today trip. A train to Busan Korea. As per usual I get weird looks and glares due to my stature and appearance.

I sit down in my seat enthusiastic and ready to begin the ride. As the train fills up the three seats around me are taken by 3 pretty ladies. In front of me was a Pretty blonde who radiated a happy energy that was almost suffocating, diagonal left a pretty brunette with a smile that curved into a half moon, and directly to the left of me was a smaller brunette with a determined look. They all politely greet me and I reciprocate of course. Their names are Jeewon (in front of me), Hayoung (diagonal Left), and Chaehyun (Direct left)

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Dinovaldo, but everyone calls me Dino"

"Dinopaldo?" Hayoung says cutely. I was going to correct her then I remembered my friend who was also Korean complained about how "Complicated my name was." so I nodded and said,

"Yeah, but call me Dino." Hayoung and Jeewon smile. Chaehyun looks at me with a focused and determined look.

"So what brings you to Busan?" Chaehyun asked as the train moved.

"Oh, I like trains and try to ride as many "famous" ones as I can," I replied. the three girls looked at me surprised but didn't say anything else. Chaehyun let out a chuckle and I went back to enjoying the ride.

A little later Chaehyun asked me, "Hey so where are you from Originally?"

"Um...Portland, Oregon. No, you wouldn't know that... The United States." I answer Chaehyun. She nods and chuckles as do Hayoung and Jeewon.

"What about y'all? Where Y'all from?" I ask

"Oh, we're all from Busan," Jeewon answers confidently. I nod now dialed into the conversation.

"How long are you in Korea for?" Hayoung asks

"Oh, a few weeks for some business in Seoul. I finished yesterday so now my last week I am just enjoying it. You know seeing the rest of the country." I replied. I noticed that Jeewon and Hayoung were starting to warm up to me and being more involved.

"Oh, that's cool," Hayoung said. I gave her a thumbs-up as we continued to chat. I learn a lot about the girls. they were all K-pop idols (whatever that meant) who were going home to visit family and just relax as their schedules had all eased up for the time being. They were all incredibly charming but also kinda dorky in an extremely lovable and endearing way. As we talked I could feel myself being lulled into a state of ease by the three girls. it worried me. They were almost too perfect, too sweet, and too engaging, so I kept my vigilance as I continued to talk to them.

While we rode the train we enjoyed each other's company until Chaehyun (the boldest of the trio) asked, "Hey I noticed you keep looking over your shoulder. Are you worried you are being tricked?" I instantly tensed and then eased again. seeing her pleasant smile

"Yeah, a little it's not often three pretty ladies just come up and talk to me. Especially for so long." I reply.

Jeewon perks up, "Aww thank you. Well, you're cool to talk to. Plus you aren't treating us any different."

"Well, I thought you were all normal ladies," I replied hesitantly

"No," Hayoung says with a cute but also aggressive tone. she takes out her phone and starts playing a video of her performing at Inkigayo along with seven other young ladies. I watched in awe as I could see it was Hayoung but her presence was so different. gone was the goofy girl who sitting across from me the Hayoung I was watching was graceful poised, with an almost deadly sense of presence I had only seen replicated in assassins. it was unnerving but also captivating. when the video finished the other ladies all showed similar videos. Each showed me a bit more about them. Jeewon is super bubbly and happy in her video and Chahyun’s video shows her range. I see a huge range of her personality but it always comes back to the determined look. That look of desire. After that, we hit the third hour of the trip and fatigue began to set in. All of us started to get heavy eyelids and one by one each of us fell asleep. I was the last one and got to see Chaehyun's head fall onto my shoulder as she was talking about how hard being the "unofficial" leader of her group was. I couldn't help but smile at her plight. her pleading eyes but strong voice made me listen and consider her words with the utmost seriousness. something she noted

"you're a really good listener," she said as her eyes fluttered as they got heavier. A telltale sign she was losing the fight with her fatigue.

"Well in my profession being a keen observer is always a requirement," I answer politely

"Oh and what do you do Mr. Mysterious?"

Chaehyun teased

"It's a secret." I teased

"Oh come on please tell me," Chaehyun asked with pleading and endearing aggression

when she did fall asleep I found myself stroking her hair carefully and her grip on me tightened. I smiled content as I watched the window and the picture continue to move and change. Looking at the other two girls I felt a bizarre pang in my heart. One I hadn't felt in a long time. Usually, I shied away from it, but this time I let the pang linger and ferment into emotion, as a smile crept on my face. Soon my eyes felt heavy and I drifted off as well.

I was woken up by a rapid light shaking of my shoulder. My eyes were forced open as I turned to see Chaehyun who lifted the armrest separating us.

"Hey, Hey wake up," she whispered.

"I'm awake. I am awake, but why are we whispering?" I asked

Chaehyun smiled with heavy desire filling her eyes look water, and said "Follow me to the bathroom."

"Why?" I asked dazed and confused.

"I want to show you why I'm the suction expert," she said as she got up leaving her jacket. I follow on instinct and when we enter the bathroom she locks the door. Thankfully the train car we were in was mostly empty and the few people inside were asleep.

when we entered the bathroom in three actions Chaehyun was on her knees. Lock the door undo my belt and spring out my cock.

"Hm, you're still soft. that won't do," she said before taking me into her mouth. I reeled back as the softness of her lips and the warmth wetness of her mouth overwhelmed me leaving me light-headed.

"Go ahead fuck my face," she said

I nod and begin to thrust into her warm wet orifice. her eyes held mine in an intense gaze that left me transfixed as I grabbed her head and thoroughly used her. After six or so thrusts she breaks taps my thigh and I pull back.

"Okay you're going to go," she says as she gets up wiping the drool from her chin before it could stain her shirt. She undid her pants and moved to the side. before she could give further instruction the intercom said

"30 minutes to Busan" I am assuming it said it in other languages as well but I heard English in there as well.

"We don't have much time so you're going to have to be quick. so just pound me, Dino." Chaehyun insists as she lines my cock with her pussy. I slowly ease in and we both moan as her sex sucks mine in whole. it's dizzying, it's hot, and wet but oh my goodness does it feel euphoric. I bottom out inside her and begin to pull out. I get halfway before plunging back into her. I repeat this two or three times increasing the pace until my body begins to override my mind and I begin to plow her in earnest. she leans her body into mine and says, "You're so big inside me." her words act like a spur to a wild buck and make me only rougher with her. I relax my grip on her waist and stroke a finger across her pillow midriff, and I whisper into her ear

"I love how soft your body is." I snake my hand under her shirt as I thrust and cop a feel. they are a lot bigger than her sweater lets on. I get a firm grip on her breasts and say, "These sexy buoyant pillows you try to hide drive me wild. I am going to call you Marshmellow from now on because I am in love with how soft and plush your body is." my words have their desired effect "I think" as I feel her pussy tighten and pulse as she turns her face to mine.

"Fuck, Fuck" she pants as I continue to piston in and out of her. I tweak her nipple and she moans even harder before I feel a rush of liquid come from between our bodies. I look down to see her squirting all over my cock. I look up to see her embarrassed.

"No No baby it's okay," I reassure my slip of the tongue makes her eyes go wide and she questions me

"Babe?" but at that point I am too far gone and begin tumbling into my orgasm with her.

"Aw fuck mello I'm cumming" I say groaning as I begin to explode into her greedy pussy. Chaehyun moans in ecstasy.

After we come down from our high Chaehyun looks at me with a shy look before cleaning herself up and leaving. Also leaving me to clean up our combined fluid mess. I do so, then make sure I look presentable and head back out. I get back to my seat where Jeewon and Hayoung look at me with knowing and teasing smiles. Chaehyun refused to look or speak to me as Hayoung and Jeewon asked me questions about the ride after they slept. Respecting Mello's boundaries I follow her very limited and guarded answers. leaving the two other girls a little miffed. after the train ride was over I grabbed my bags and bid farewell to the ladies. as I was walking away from them on the station. Chaehyun speaks up for the first time.

"Where do you think you're going, Dino? you're hanging out with us for the rest of the time you're here. so cancel whatever plans you had." Her confidence and desire have returned to her stare and I smile.

"Okay." I acquiesced

Hi! Am new here, when you have the time, can you write lucius malfoy x crybaby housewife, like shes very sensitive and overthinks about making him upset but in reality lucius finds her little actions and mannurisms cute and lovable? (Ik its very specific and i have horrible grammar)

Been a hot minute since I wrote for hp thanks for the ask!

Lucius Malfoy x crybaby housewife (sensitive)

First off this marriage was arranged so you got that going on

He can tell immediately that you feel extremely nervous and just want to make everybody proud and don’t want to upset him

He finds in endearing

"Beautiful beautiful girl relax, it’s only a few days in France, I will be back in one piece"

You worry too much it makes him worried

Sends you lots of gifts, like what’s your favorite Candy that makes your face eyes light up with excitement?

You will find boxes delivered to the house till you’re sick of it

Doesn’t like to see your tears but understands how overwhelming it may be to try to contain all your emotions

Tries to never raise his voice at you even if he’s not in the brightest of moods

Your little acts of kindness to him do leave him breathless at times though

"What do you mean you fed the peacocks and picked all the fallen feathers to make pillows?!"

"I knew you’ll hate I’m so sorry-" "No! I love it!"

He really likes to spoil you, so expect things like taking a day or two off from work to just spend extra time with when he notices you’ve been a little gloomy all alone at home

Goodness even the house elves have to make sure you don’t overwhelm yourself when something doesn’t go as planned

If you remember the small things about him, the things no one really pays attention too, then he’s all yours and no one can say otherwise

Makes sure to spend birthdays together, no matter how busy he is

"You don’t have to do this, what about work and-" "stop hurting your pretty little head with such nonsense"

Actually tries to be decent to the house elves just because they seem to be the only company you have

One time you tried to surprise him at work and he just couldn’t let you leave because in his own words "you came all this way to surprise and you expect me to let you go away this easily my dear?"

The way you smile when he comes back to the mansion, it just lights up his entire day, no matter how shitty is was

Absolutely adores your antics and takes pride in seeing you being the center of attention

"Am i making a good impression?"

"You’re perfection it self"

My Top 12 Favorite Anime of 2023 (and more)!

This was a great year for anime, so here's a long list of my top 12 (including some bonus great anime). If you get tired of clicking the review links, check out my anime overview collection for all of them here.  You can also check out my list of favorite manga here!

Some of these are ongoing, so consider those only a review of the first cour-- no official endorsement on the rest because it hasn't aired yet!

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (Season 2)

When I listed G-Witch in last year's top anime list, I prayed the show wouldn't betray me. Fortunately, it didn't! Though the final half of the show was a bit rushed, it remained must-see, compelling sci-fi full of exciting twists and turns. And I adore the well developed romance between the robot-piloting protagonist and precious girl, Suletta, and her fierce fiancé, Miorine.  Whether you’re here for starcrossed queer lovers, robots wrecking each other, tense battles between opposing political factions, or morally-horrifying moms on a revenge spree, you’re in for a treat.

See my full review here.

Yuri is my Job!

Hime is roped into working at a cafe where the waitresses playact as students of the fictional all girl’s school from a beloved novel series. However, Hime finds her co-worker, Mitsuki, has an inexplicable grudge against her. Thus begins a tangled web of romance and wounded feelings among the girls in the cafe! Yuri is My Job seems like a fun comedy boasting a cast full of quirky lesbians, but then reveals itself to be a complicated and fascinating examination of performance- as it intersects with queerness, girlhood,  and the desire to be “likeable” and “cute". It's top-tier lesbian drama full of fraught relationships and it's absolutely worth a watch.

See my full review here.

The Apothecary Diaries (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Though it's still going, I have to sing the praises of this dazzling anime about a saavy apothecary who uses her medical expertise to solve the many murders and betrayals in the Emperor's palace. MaoMao is a fantastic lead, a poison-obsessed gremlin who's whip-smart, deadpan, and fun to follow. The Apothecary Diaries has intrigue, well-developed characters, and an impeccable atmosphere. It tells a great range of stories, from romantic triumph, to bittersweet tales of recovering from grief, to pure tragedies. I'm totally hooked.

See my full review here.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

When Euphie is dumped by her fiance at a ball, the oddball princess Anis rescues her.  Euphie becomes Anis' assistant in her quest to develop magical tools. The girls also start to develop feelings for each other, while discovering a conspiracy among the nobility. I'm always desperately in need of cool lesbians having action-packed fantasy adventures, and Magirevo delivers. The characters grow in entertaining ways, we get to see them fight dragons in killer action scenes, and the romantic development is completely satisfying. It's a simple story at its core, but the lovable characters, joyous queerness and jubilant execution make it a great watch.

See my full review here.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story (Season 2)

In the second season of the anime about girls homoerotically golfing while dealing with the mafia and ludicrous family drama, Birdie Wing remains a bombastically absurd sports anime that is fun all the way through. Please come watch these girls get ridiculous sports  injuries, scream their super golf attacks, experience extremely extra plot twists--and be super gay with each other, of course. The finale didn't go quite as hard as I wanted (and the romance is more subtexual than I wanted), but you need to allow yourself to experience the madness of Birdie Wing.

Skip and Loafer

An endearingly dorky, earnest, and driven girl moves from her small town to Tokyo. While she struggles to adjust, she befriends a nice popular boy who's got some baggage. Skip and Loafer is a show that’s like a warm hug. It's sweet, entertaining and funny. It handles adolescent struggles with tender nuance. There's a emphasis on kindness, connection, and looking past stereotypes and misconceptions. It also includes a trans character who's treated with respect (and is a great character in general!) Let this show touch your heart.

See my full review here.

Undead Murder Farce

An immortal woman has had most of her body stolen by a mysterious man. Reduced to a head carried around by her maid, she teams up with a half-demon man to track the thief down while solving supernatural mysteries all across Victorian England.

This a fun, campy mystery series starring three asshole weirdo protagonists,  it’s bursting with supernatural creatures and literary references. We've got Sherlock Holmes, The Phantom of the Opera, Carmilla and more...along with a vampire murders and werewolf drama galore. UDM is a wonderful romp with stylish, slick direction... and it’s unexpectedly really gay.  I’m aching to see more of these scrappy misfits and their adventures.

See my full review here.

Migi & Dali

A story of twins who are pretending to be one kid in order to fool their foster parents and find out who killed their mother. It starts out as an utterly absurd comedy becomes a impressive and genuinely tense murder mystery that is incredibly moving at times, all while keeping up it’s signature brand of goofiness. There’s genuine commentary on abuse, the damage you can do to children by forcing perfection on them, the struggle of being a foster kid, grief and recovery and more. There's also some great character development. It's a weird one, but it's absolutely worth sticking with.

See full review here.

Pluto

Somebody is killing the most advanced robots in the  world and murdering humans alongside them. A robot detective is trying to track this killer down, but he might be compromised as well. Pluto is a tense, tense, tightly plotted robot murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Through robots, it explores the idea of being a tool in a corrupt system, and tackles subjects like war, imperialism, and the nature of hatred. It's a masterful psychological thriller with stunning animation and a rich story.

See my full review here.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

This anime approaches the story of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona's seven evil exes from a brands new angle, and the results are great. We get a exploration of relationships and regrets, the messiness of communication and connection, the trials of becoming an adult, all with the signature goofy video game antics. Characters neglected in previous iterations finally get their due, new facets of the story are explored, queer relationships are delved into more, girls kiss...and it's all accompanied by phenomenal animation and a killer soundtrack.

Soaring Sky! Precure

Sora lives in a world called Skyland and wants to be a great hero. When rescuing the kidnapped baby princess, she falls through a portal to earth. There she meets her fellow magical warriors, and as Precure they protect the princess from the villains!

This vibrant, warm-hearted adventure got me back on the Precure train! This series boasts a lot exciting firsts for the franchise--the first official male cure, the first main cure that's eighteen years old- but above all, it has a lively team of characters with who have an entertaining dynamic and enjoyable individual journeys. It's often very funny, the baby has a surprisingly good character arc, and it's bursting with magical girl (and boy) goodness! It's also not afraid to give you an emotional gutpunch when you've been lured into a false sense of security by all the fun times. If you're new to Precure, this is a great jumping on point, and if you've watched it before, this is a series you won't want to miss.

I'm in Love with the Villainess

Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she’s head over heels for Claire Francois, the snooty villainess.

Villainess may not be as polished--storywise or animation-wise-- as these other entries. It's a messy series, it has plenty of problems...but it's also very fun, and it touched my queer little heart like no other. Queer people get to indulge in our imperfect faves too, and the silly shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocacy for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series works for me!

See my full review here.

Some Other Great Anime:

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Frieren is a long-lived elf who was once part of an adventuring party that saved the world from the Demon Lord. But now her friends are passing away and the world is moving on. She decides to retrace her old party's journey so she can understand what she's feeling.

Frieren is both an interesting examination of what happens after the hero saves the world, as well as a meditation on mortality, grief,  and the endless march of time. It takes you on a quiet, beautiful and sometimes touching journey though a pastoral fantasy world. There's some breath-taking animation and excellent atmosphere to enjoy.

See my review here.

Spy x Family (Season 3)

Spy x Family is pretty much staying the course from when we last checked in,  though this season gives a lot more attention to Yor, and I love the cruise ship arc and all the ridiculous fights she gets into a lot! That arc contains some of my favorite gags of the series too (like Loid’s  attempts to be a cool dad). Otherwise, Spyfam has settled into a series that intends to be around for the long haul, so don’t expect too much forward plot momentum. And Yuri (the man, not the genre) unfortunately still exists. Overall it was good season and remains a fun  adaptation. Yor, please step on me.

sorry if you’ve been asked before but: mwpp + lily as birds?

I haven't! Thank you so much!🥰 Always love a chance to yell about birds.

This will be long again 😬

Sirius:

Horrible choice to make. Wanted to make him a bird of prey, because that's kind of what he should be, but I couldn't find a suitable one. So I went with one of my favorites instead. The Raven. Raven are very intelligent birds and also fucking terrifying. Like, if you have seen a crow attacking, a raven is so so much worse. You DO NOT want to mess with a raven. They remember your face. And they are larger than crows. They are also cool and somewhat 'effortlessly elegant' ☺️

James:

Golden Eagle. Majestic mfer and I think all eagles look like they have some sort of ego problem, so that checks out😊

Remus:

The common Greenshank. It is common. It is suitably beige. Legs are too long. Lives in the marshes. Very lovable and cute. Immaculate vibes, if you ask me.

Peter:

The Dartford Warbler. It is tiny and looks cute and innocent on first glance, but THE EYES... That's a bird that would betray his best friend to the dark lord if I've ever seen one.

Lily:

She was actually quite hard because I wanna do her justice! I finally settled on a White Stork. Storks mate for life which I think would suit Lilys commital character. But they are also extremely impressive and cool birds that have a certain elegance to them🥰

Ask me asks to keep me awake

[obsessivefreakandpartners]

I want settled down aziracrow to have kids so bad. It's canon that Crowley loves kids according to a Neil Gaiman post.

I want Crowley to be the fun dad who takes their kids on activities that Azi, the anxious ( yet more responsible ) dad, calls "too risky for kids".

I want Crowley to be overprotective of their daughters and their future boyfriends to fear him. When they are little kids, he often carries them on his back, makes funny faces at them, gets them to pull little cute pranks on Aziraphale who barely holds himself from bursting into laughter, pretending to be strict etc

I want Aziraphale to comb their hair, dress them nicely, teach them all sorts of things being the nerd he is, and encourage them with their own unique hobbies. He teaches them manners, how to be good to other people but also how to put the rude ones in their place with sassiness.

I want Crowley to always tell his kids that Aziraphale's stubbornness and some of his ways can be difficult at times but still lovable, for you can't love a person without accepting their whole core.

I want Aziraphale to explain to them that when Crowley is grumpy, or snappy, it's because he has been through so much in his life, that he is really worried about their well being and that's his way of expressing it even tho it's not the way to go.

I want one of their daughters to regularly steal the Bentley at age 16 because I love her giving Crowley crap . She is basically him in many ways and when he bitches , Aziraphale is like "does she remind you of a certain someone?".

I want one of their sons to date an extremely powerful yet sweetheart nephilim, with whom they often do dangerous crap during their adventures, trying to help humans, loved ones etc. ( even tho they probably shouldn't...) Aziraphale and Crowley have foulproofed the house, the bookshop, the bentley as they have been destroyed in the past in 100 different ways.

I want one of their daughters to be so obsessed with poisonous plants and animals that she basically fills her room with those. Sometimes they escape and they cause problems to human visitors, so Azi and Crowley have to heal them on a regular basis. She doesn't even know if there is an antidote against most of their bites but she counts on her dad's powers ( or maybe she hasn't thought of it that much...).

Their kids are good, caring, booksmart like Aziraphale and noble, rebellious and streetsmart like Crowley; truly a very powerful combination. You can't expect them to be mundane, everyday kids.

I want aziracrow to have a Second Arrangement according to which, if something happens to one of them, the other one has to go on for their kids.

Unlike the first Arrangement with which Crowley came up, this one was suggested by Aziraphale who knows how emotionally vulnerable Crowley can be without him.

They seal their arrangement with a kiss and a hug while spotting some shooting stars, wishing that they won't ever need that one.

[yandere-fics]

♡ Their Alpha Darling Has Omega Tendencies ♡

You had been really shy in your first few months with Miriel, in general you had been somewhat hesitant about the relationship since she seemed like the kind of omega who needed a real strong alpha sure she had told you from the moment the both of you first met that you were soulmates, perfect for each other in every way possible even if it didn't seem that way to you, and sure she had made it extremely clear that she loved you, would only ever want you as her alpha, and that your timidness hadn't bothered her in the slightest but for the first bit of the relationship it had really felt like you should be trying your hardest to be a more dominant and aggressive alpha for her, so you hid most of your behaviors from her so you could at the very least pretend you were a big scary alpha even when all you really wanted to do was crawl into a nest you made with her and scent each other. The big scary alpha thing really wasn't for you however and you cracked very early into the relationship. It did feel great to be your real self around her however it also led to another concern.

See your Miriel was a very cute, desirable omega, despite her refusing to talk to anyone or outright hating anyone who wasn't you, smelling vaguely of pine trees and the forest and most lovably being very submissive and clingy when it came to you, all traits anyone would desire in their omega, though you did partially suspect she put on a much larger show of fulfilling your orders, the very few times you told her to do something, just to boost your confidence. This mean there was a large amount of humans, primarily alpha humans who were at the very least more of an alpha than you could possibly be, who wanted her very badly and didn't bother to let you know this, thinking if they got you to leave her then maybe they'd be able to step in and replace you.

Constantly making snide remarks the moment your precious omega was out of earshot, which you were somewhat grateful for since your Miri was softer and if she heard their constant criticism of you, she might actually cry or worst start to think their arguments were somewhat logical and rethinking your entire relationship. Talking about how you smelled like you'd been scented by her instead of how it's supposed to be with you scenting her, which was true, most of the time in the nest you took turns with who was doing the majority of the scenting though lately you'd been allowing Miri to just do her thing and heavily scent you. Making bets about how you were probably the one who made the nest in the relationship since you clearly don't know how to take charge of your omega, you did make the nest most of the time sine you knew Miriel had a harder higher up job in the company than you so you just wanted to take on the duty of making the nightly nest so she could get home and relax in it, cuddling with you. One even tried to stick their fingers in your mouth to poke at your fangs talking about how your fangs weren't even sharp enough to mark her but don't worry, when they were her alpha after you got out of the way they'd make sure they marked her properly every night just to make up for your inability to do so.

Despite their hostility though, you still weren't confident enough to retaliate, instead opting to leave it be since most of the time they just gave up after finding their own omega or got fired because as it turns out, they sucked at their job, who would have guessed that the people who spent most of their time at work harassing you for not being alpha enough would suck at their job. There'd been a more persistent pest lately, one who would tell you that you were just holding Miri back from having a real alpha, constantly leaning over her desk trying to start a conversation with her even when she didn't seem to care but today they'd winked at you, taunting you before they asked her if she wanted to go out after wok and you dove on them shocking everyone including yourself since you really really hated fighting, still you couldn't just let them ask your omega out right in front of you, there was no way you were going to accept that.

And so there you sat about an hour later with Miriel holding an ice pack to your bruised eye while the other person had been escorted outside because as her alpha you were considered in the right even though you practically threw yourself at the other girl in a fit of rage.

"Babeeee, why'd you attack them?" You looked away from her nervously, you really didn't like being an aggressive alpha and you honestly just wanted to forget this incident ever occurred.

"She... she asked you out and told me earlier she was gonna snatch you from me." She tilted her head a bit in surprise.

"Aww you should have come to me first, I would have gotten rid of her just like I've fired all the others! Let me handle it babeeeeee, I know you're not good at the alpha stuff."

Eliza was definitely the more dominant alpha in your relationship though that wasn't super hard to achieve considering you had never been the stereotypical alpha to begin with. Your scent had always been fairly weak and you liked to make nests very often, matters certainly didn't improve when Eliza began to scent you very early into your relationship and started to give you items for your nests in front of everyone, it was no wonder people didn't usually know you were an alpha until you outright told them.

You were beginning to suspect your girlfriend also was not actually aware you were an alpha, most of the time when she introduced you to someone it was as her omega, which didn't really bother you when it was people you were never going to have to see again since at the very least people wouldn't bother you about being too soft to be an alpha or make jokes about how any day now you were due to get bitched, you were starting to get just a tad bit frustrated when she'd refer to you as her omega when you meet important people who you might encounter more often, or even worse in front of your friends you'd allowed her to meet she'd call you her omega leading them to assume you had already been bitch, an assumption you couldn't exactly clear up since Eliza was right there still and you felt bad about calling her a liar, thus most people you encountered didn't even know you were still very much an alpha.

"Eliza, why do you always introduce me as your omega?" Her ears perked up, you understood you were a very soft alpha, you were currently sitting in a nest you had made for the both of you to cuddle in afterall, but still that didn't make you any less of an alpha and it was somewhat starting to hurt your feelings that no one ever acknowledged your alphaness anymore, was it so hard to just introduce you as her alpha, you didn't mind all the jokes anymore as long as people finally started to acknowledge you were actually an alpha. "Y-you know I'm an alpha right?"

She tilted her head a bit in confusion and shook her head, placing a very slobbery kiss on your forehead, her arms tightening around you as she snickered a bit. "Silly puppy, you know alphas don't nest, don't you?" You tried to squeeze out her arms, pouting when she refused to let go of you.

"Well y-yeah b-but that doesn't mean I'm not an alpha!" You squeaked out, wanting to disappear, alphas were also not supposed to stutter the way you just did, they were supposed to take charge and assert how much of an alpha they really were. Sure you were soft and had trouble standing up for yourself but you had a rut! Sure when your rut came she'd understand you were an alpha and maybe just maybe she'd let you take charge for once?

"Silly silly puppy, one your heat comes I'll get all those silly silly thoughts out of your head." She kissed your neck, her fangs grazing your neck slightly before pausing. "You're already an omega but don't worry your loyal wolf will help you realize it once your heat comes, then you'll finally get those silly thoughts of being an alpha out of your head."

You wondered how she would react when instead of a heat you got a rut, she clearly did not know you were an alpha, perhaps you shouldn't have brought it up.

You'd been scared of dating since you first developed as an alpha, you had never been the most aggressive or outspoken child, preferring to keep to yourself which meant you certainly wouldn't be compatible with any omegas unless you miraculously found one of the few who happened to be more aggressive and was willing to date a submissive alpha, something you desperately needed in a partner, and alphas likely would insist on changing you into an omega if you were to date them so you mostly kept to yourself until you met Kass.

When you first found out your soulmate was a demon you were sure she would insist on bitching you from the moment you first met but you'd been pleasantly surprised by how gentle and understanding Kassien had been with you, never even broaching the subject with you like most supernaturals did when they found their soulmate was an alpha just like them, especially with how docile you were, most would have suggested it right off the bat saying you seemed like you'd just be so much happier as an omega even though you were perfectly happy just being a softer alpha. Kassien wasn't like that though, she could be a tad bit aggressive and she liked scenting you a whole lot but otherwise she made sure to correct people when they said you were her omega, reminding them you were an alpha which meant a whole lot to you.

Kassien on the other hand was finding it hard to remain patient for as long as she had, she was hoping you would have eventually come to the conclusion that you needed to be bitched on your very own, she didn't want you to feel she was forcing you towards that, afterall what was so bad about it, it wasn't like it would even change anything with the way you went about your day to day business, you already nested, there was currently a nest in her office, and you allowed her to scent you very frequently. You never even stood up for yourself, whenever a conflict would arise you'd hide behind her back and allow her to take care of it, the way a good omega should allow their alpha to take care of them, but you never even once bringing up the subject of bitching was getting on her nerves, it grated her every time she was forced to refer to you as an alpha instead of as her sweet little omega, the way she yearned to refer to you as, the way things were always meant to be.

She really had wanted you to realize this on your own, and come to her, sweetly asking her to help you, but since you hadn't it seems your alpha would have to take the initiative, hopefully you'd just understand this was all for your own good.

"Kass, I brought take out!" You were so sweet, running across the street to get food when you had heard she was going to be working late, though she would have rather you asked her to do that instead, your issue with not asking her for things would be cleared up once she was officially your alpha and you were her omega, once you were you'd finally be at peace and not have to feel like you have to take care of her in return just because it's the alpha thing to do, she did appreciate how once you grabbed your own food you went straight for your nest, really you were built to be an omega, you being an alpha was a cruel joke nature was playing on the both of you, your alpha would soon solve this though.

"Lovely, come sit on my lap?" You were always so quick to listen and come to her when she asked, you were such a good omega, you just didn't know it yet but as your alpha it was her job to set you on the right course, it was stupid of her to wait this long, she should have bitched you when she first found you, no longer would you be stuck as an alpha, the moment she got you home you'd be her cute little omega.

"Sweetness, I'd like to bitch you tonight." You stiffened a bit in her arms, you knew it was too good to be true, of course she was going to want to change your alpha status at some point, you were just wondering why she'd waited so long to bring this up, it did make sense, you already behaved as if you were her omega in every other way, but you were scared, Kassien's fangs were already big and well you could feel how large she was downstairs every time you took a seat on her lap, you were sure bitching was going to hurt alot and if you didn't like being an omega there would be no going back, you'd be stuck like that. You started to shake your head aggressively and she just pet your hair and shushed you.

"Don't be scared lovely, your alpha will be so gentle with you. You'll see tonight." Her grip on you was firm though, trying to make sure you didn't flee from her. You really weren't ready, why couldn't she be just a bit more patient.

You thought angels were supposed to be well smart or like at the very least have an ounce of intellect rattling around in those head of theirs but perhaps you only though that since there were so few of them living in the city, either way Nikki was dumb, especially for an apex alpha. From the moment you had met her you got the general gist she was very unknowledgeable about human society which was understandable, she was new in the city, but her lack of knowledge about secondary genders was an entirely different thing, you'd corrected her and told her you were an alpha a few times on that first day, something she didn't seem to grasp this no matter how often you said it and after she got to know you, she had a million reasons she could rattle off about what you were clearly not an alpha.

"Mate, you have a nest right there, alphas do not have nests, you're not an alpha." This was just outright insulting considering how she was currently resting in the nest you had worked so hard to build, clearly very much enjoying the fruits of your labor despite her demeaning you as she did so. This was also annoying as it was very untrue, nests were just comfy, surely even the most aggressive of alphas did this right? The more you thought about that the more you realized that no, they mostly just ordered their omegas to do so for them.

"Mate, your scent is too weak to be that of an alphas, when I scent you your natural scent completely disappears, your scent fades if you so much as take a nap with you, alphas have a strong scent." Of course your scent was overwhelmed by hers, she smelled kind of stinky, though you did like her overpowering scent in a way, and beyond that lots of alphas had weaker scents and if if she wasn't smelly from the bird thing, she was still an apex alpha, of course her scent would overwhelm any plain old alpha, and beyond that, those naps were very long so again in your defense anyone would smell like her if they had to lay there with her wing over you for seven hours, it was hardly even a nap at this point, just full on sleep.

"Mate, you can't even speak for yourself, you cower behind me and let out little chirps in fear, alphas don't squeak in fear." That was actually a fair point, you never liked standing up for yourself, it felt too mean but Nikki was no pushover so you let her just handle it all for you which was sort of a very omega thing to be doing. Still in your defense, they were scary and why would you deal with the big scary people when you have a much scarier apex alpha at your disposal! Which again was actually a very omega like sentiment to express but you were still an alpha! Just a very soft and omega like one.

The most insulting part of this situation however was how due to her not even believing you were an alpha to being with and just assuming you were already an omega, you couldn't get bitched by her! You wished she'd just been one of those alphas that meets their mate and instantly bitches them because they clearly express so many omega traits so why no just complete the process for them but since Nikki just denied it every time, she wouldn't even realize you needed to be bitched! You felt like you were pulling your hair out in frustration, like what did you have to do to get bitched over here. Maybe you should just try asking but that made you a bit nervous because what if your idiot soulmate still didn't believe you were an alpha and thought there would be no purpose to bitching!

"Nikki, I need you to listen to me." You barged into her office one day, finally fed up with her denying how you were still very much an alpha, if she wanted to insist you were an omega, then she had to do something about it and actually make you into one, it wasn't fair for her to keep insisting you aren't an alpha but not doing anything to make that correct and it was time you were going to demand she do something. "I need you to bitch me. Tonight, you keep saying I'm not an alpha, so actually make me not an alpha, finally please."

"You should have just said something about you still being an alpha, mate."

Nora was severely regretting her decision to pretend she was a beta to get close to you, it was by from the worst decision she could have possibly made and it was quickly becoming harder and harder to keep the facade up any longer. Every time she walked into your apartment, there you were siting in your cute little nest, arms out for her to join you so you could attempt to scent her with your weak scent, she had t fight the urge to jump you and bitch you right there. It would be so easy for her to do so, you barely even smelled like an alpha and with the habits you already had, you would make such a good omega, plus with her being an apex if she went off blockers it would only take a second to do so, but that hadn't seem to be something you actually wanted and so she held herself back, she would refrain from turning you into her omega for the time being so her cover wouldn't be blown. That didn't mean she didn't spend every day constantly thinking about it however.

She was your good beta girlfriend who sat there in your nest and allowed you to attempt to get your scent on her and she always felt somewhat bad about her blockers when she had to take on this role, wouldn't you be more happy if she was scenting you instead? Surely you were only attempting to do this because you thought she had no scent of her own, you wold be just so happy if she scented you, wouldn't you? Still she had to stop herself anytime she went down that train of thought, her canines would be salivating at the thought of sinking them into your neck if she hadn't been shaving them down every few months so she wouldn't do it, that was the pain of being immortal even when she shaved her fangs down they would always try to return to the original size, her body would always try to put itself back in the way it had been when she was made immortal which was most useful for healing wounds, she couldn't have you see those, and it kept her from dying or ending her own life, but it made it frustrating when she was trying desperate to hid her alpha status from you and meant she had to do a lot of upkeep to ensure you would never find out she was one. She could never let you, her precious... alpha, it felt wrong calling you that, know how intense she was.

It was really eating her alive though, you didn't even act like an alpha in the slightest except for your weak attempt to scent her, what would be so wrong about her bitching you, she was just doing you a favor as your perfect girlfriend who knew exactly what you wanted and needed, you might be upset at first but eventually you'd understand this had been in your best interest right? You'd get it someday.

"Nora, can I please leave?" You whined as Nora dumped another set of blankets in front of you, you'd been refusing to nest since she'd revealed she wasn't a beta and had forcefully confined you to her home, under the pretext that you would be happier if she made you into her omega. Since then you had been fighting doing anything omega like even though you were aching to do so especially after she had marked you and you had begun to slowly feel changes occurring in your body from her scenting you every day.

"I can't let my omega and my reason for living go, look I brought you more blankets though! Just sit tight, I promise you'll like this soon." She patted you on the head signaling for you to get to nesting and finally with a reluctant sigh, you gave in.

You had always assumed if you ever got a supernatural soulmate they would likely be an alpha, alpha humans with supernatural soulmates usually got a bigger stronger alpha who would bitch them, and well you were so weak and behaved like an omega to begin with that it was sort of natural for everyone to assume you weren't meant to be an alpha to begin with, so it came as a big surprise when your beta soulmate broke into your house and kidnapped you one day, an even bigger shock that this beta liked nothing more than to bully you about you being so weak, she said she was teasing you out of love and affection and she didn't really mean the things she said but it was starting to feel a bit personal at this point, weren't elves supposed to be nice to their soulmates and think they could do no wrong, beyond that most elves were alphas or omegas, very few were betas, clearly your elf beta soulmate was defective. Did make sense for you to get stuck with someone defective when you yourself were a broken alpha who had a weak scent and always acted like an omega, luckily she couldn't smell you very well or she'd bully you for not even smelling like a proper alpha.

Like today for example, she decided it would be a great idea to force you into your nest, with threats of using a knife on you, and take a bunch of pictures of you in cat ears and various submissive poses, you were just grateful she allowed you to keep your clothes on during these photo shoots of hers, she liked to dress you up often and call you her cute little failure of an alpha, mocking you for not even having the courage to stand up to her that a normal alpha would have which was true, despite your distaste for her, you never once considered standing up for yourself against her, any normal alpha would easily push her over and leave but you had never been a very strong alpha and lately with all her bullying you'd been feeling weaker and weaker, you hoped after your rut you would start feeling normal again but it didn't seem like fate had that in store for you today because you suddenly felt something else start which only made you cry and run into the bathroom to hide. You couldn't let her know, she'd make fun of you for being such a weak alpha you were bitched by a beta and beyond that was there even anything she could do about it? Runa was a beta so it wasn't like she'd be able to complete the bitching process, she had no knot to do it with so you'd be stuck in a weird limbo, not an alpha anymore, but not yet an omega but unlike a beta you still had heats. You were a very very defective alpha, she was right.

"L-love come out, you know I was just joking, I didn't mean it, I love you! L-love it's n-not a funny joke for you to hide yourself away from me, g-get out here right n-now!" You refused to open the door, crawling into the bathtub to be as far away from the door as possible, you knew she couldn't really smell your pheromones but you didn't want even the slightest chance she could catch a whiff an realize you were in heat, it would just make everything a million times worse,, obvious you couldn't just stay in the bathroom forever but you were determined to try and stay for as long as possible.

"Shut up! This is your fault!" You could her Runa let out a small whimper behind the door before she started stabbing at it viciously causing you to scrunch up in fear.

"L-love y-you don't mean t-that, I d-don't know w-what you're talking about b-but it's not my f-fault, you l-love me, and I-I love you!" You closed your eyes as you heard her shove her arm through the door and finally let herself into the bathroom, yanking the shower curtain, your only protection to the side and smiling as you finally looked up at her.

"Awww, my f-failed alpha is having a h-heat, you're such a cute failure." And yet again she was making your humiliation of being a failed alpha so much worse.

Hey! I know you’ve said you can’t imagine Edd and Eddy to get married or have kids but what do you think they would be like as parents? How about Ed and May?

sorry it took me so long to get to this one! i love some good adult eds discussion. this is a long'n.

so ed and may would be super cute as parents. i've seen lots of art with ed as a dad, and all of it melts my heart. he loves babies, guys. and he really would be a great dad. unconditionally loving and accepting, appropriately protective while encouraging his kids to be themselves and dream big.

and may would be a sweet mom. she's shown to also love babies, even if it's during a scene where she's tormenting jimmy a bit lol. anyway, also a very loving parent, cautiously encouraging, and accepting even if she doesn't always "get" it.

i think they'd be the cool parents, the ones that their kids' friends would be jealous of. and their kids are the type to wear halloween costumes out to run errands, and are allowed to dye their hair from a young age. like they're showing up with blue temp dye streaks on the first day of second grade. they probably own rats and tarantulas and lizards, etc. just a very "alt" family, for lack of a better word.

-

along with marriage, i don't see edd and eddy having kids, and haven't given much thought to what they'd be like as parents. i typically think of them as fun aunt eddy and boring but lovable uncle dee.

i feel like edd would be extremely hesitant to have a kid, being terrified that he'd fuck something up. and even if they did everything right, something could still go wrong, etc. his anxiety and ocd would be running rampant at the thought of being responsible for raising a whole ass human being. probably also sees it as ethically questionable and ecologically irresponsible. well unless they adopt.

eddy thinks owning a fish is too much responsibility, so it's hard to imagine him wanting a kid, but then again i think he's vain enough that he'd want to try and create an even mini-er version of himself. i do think he has a nurturing side as well though.

all that being said, if they did decide to have a kid, they'd likely be a bit older, like late 30s, possibly early 40s.

edd would agonize over everything, reading 'what to expect when you're expecting' despite not being pregnant, among dozens of other books on child development and psychology, parenting methods, genetics, etc. makes the baby listen to chopin and debussy and the like. all organic foods, purees them himself if he can, makes the kid's toys and clothes himself to have control over the quality and materials used. uses cloth diapers. and that's just in the infant stage.

eddy's of course more laid back, taking most of his advice from his mom, who smoked during her first pregnancy and was feeding eddy chef boyardee as soon as he could eat solid foods. he's adamant about exposing the baby to more culturally rich music, like the gap band and madonna. for sure helps design the clothes edd makes. lets be real, they're wearing matching outfits for all their family photos.

idk the idea of those two raising a tiny little baby is really amusing so i had to talk about that in more detail. but overall i do think they'd be good parents. the kid would have a good mix of stern but loving guidance and encouragement via edd, and fun, creativity and approachable openness with eddy. edd is doting, and a might be a bit of a helicopter parent if not for eddy frequently reminding him to chill out.

edd has a lot of parental trauma so i think he's the most interesting one to explore regarding this topic. ed does too, but i don't think he'd let it affect him as much. ed's mindset is that he's gonna be the best dad he can be and it's kind of left at that. edd on the other hand is going to attempt to calculate the exact number of hours of affection it takes to make a child feel loved lmao. i think, again, with eddy's help he'd loosen the reins a bit over time, but he's still gonna cry on the first day of school and insist on dropping off and picking the kid up from school every day to shield them from the horrors of the bus.

there's also the possibility that he'd end up being like his own parents :/ not that he'd leave sticky notes and be gone all the time, but that he might struggle to communicate with the child in a parental way, since he's not sure what that actually looks like in practice. there's only so much you can learn from a book, yknow. but that's where eddy comes in. his advice is to "just be normal", which is both extremely helpful and unhelpful at the same time.

eddy said himself, a little childhood trauma builds character, and that's not to say he'd expose his kid to fucked up shit on purpose, but that he's not gonna go out of his way to protect the kid from reality. very much the type not to overreact if the kid falls and scrapes their knee, or throws a tantrum. doesn't cover their ears to block out expletives. doesn't use euphemisms- which i don't think edd would do either. makes sure the kid can come to him about things that double daddy dee would have a panic attack about. and does expose their kid to all kinds of art and culture, and makes sure they aren't afraid to express themselves

one of their biggest arguments is about whether they'll tell the kid about santa. eddy says its harmless fun, edd believes it instills distrust and discourages critical thinking. eddy would probably win that one.

aaaaanyway i'm tired so i'm gonna shut up now, but yeah edd and eddy as parents is definitely an au worth exploring. it's not really for me, but i mean hey i might warm up to the idea eventually. there's this one really cute sketch by sweeteggy that makes me reevaluate my aversion every time i see it. forgive the shitty link, i can't find the original post.

thanks for asking lasagna!! <3333

[lisannastraussisanangel]

Do you have some specific Sting Eucliffe or Erik headcanons? ^^

Oh boy do I!

Sting Headcanons:

He plays up the lovable idiot trope but he's actually pretty smart. I mean c'mon he runs a guild

People often joke that he is a moth. He absolutely hates it, but they watched him try to eat a little lightbulb once so he can't really fight them on it

He's super dramatic. Like fake faints into Rogue's arms at least once a week

Him, Rogue, Minerva and Yukino are an official team. He can't go on jobs as much anymore and it bums him out

That man loves a reason to have a little treat. I'm talking guild party to celebrate his first guild master meeting, buying an expensive meal for himself after finishing his paperwork, or buying himself something nice because he remembered to do the laundry.

He also religiously celebrates peoples birthdays

He's actually pretty strict naturally. He tries not to be but tends to jump from one extreme to the other

Erik Headcanons:

His love language is bullying and acts of service. He'll call you a nerd but will also bring someone their favorite treats and trinkets when he knows they are having a bad day

He's an absolutely terrible cook. His taste buds are fried from all the poison he eats

He gets overstimulated really easily. Especially in really crowded places. He avoids parties and large gatherings like the plague

Kids are absolutely terrified of him. He tries so hard and they always run away screaming

He's allergic to cats. The other dragon slayers nearly cried when they found out

He's very protective. It can get a little out of hand, like the time Meredy went on a date and he followed her the entire time. She told him it was cute that he cared so much but if he ever did it again she'd kill him.

He has massive fangs when he's in his dragon force. They are absolutely terrifying.

SNAFU - Situation normal: all fucked up

Sazz is narrating the episode

She decided to have Charles as her hero!

Sazz: "When you take your hero on a journey, get him in all kinds of trouble, but land him home safely? Nothing better than that." Every single (fanfiction)author out there: Put the hero in a situation! Maybe they get a happy ending...

Sazz: "But happy endings are for movies and exotic massages."

lmao... took me long enough to find the extra symbols behind the buttons in my iphone.

Okay, but putting Mabel in front of the window and then letting down the blinds... extremely dramatic. Well done, Marshall!

... why is Marshall so extra? That jump was so unneccessary.

Listen Marshall, there are two more people who know about you. If you kill Mabel that is three deaths and you will still get in jail.

"You've got fail." <- no one says that.

Charles. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

O: "Wh-What if you do it from Vince's? It's right next door?" C: "That is the first good pitch you've had since this whole thing started." O: "It took four seasons. But now I'm cookin' with gas!"

Chuppa? Is Loretta Jewish?

Aw... I know it's very bad timeing but don't be mean to Lester.

... they just move the production to New Zealand BECAUSE OF AN ALGORITHM?! Oh boy.

Vince: "Oh, great timing! I'm just doing this new thing called exercise. You wanna join?" Rudy: "He hired me to be his trainer." O: "Uh-huh."

Omg... Charle's first stunt. Channel your inner Sazz.

... oh god... Oliver is on the ledge so his bestie is not alone on the ledge.

O: "No, no, Charles, you're my ride or die. And my strong preference is to ride." That is so cute. Holy shit. But there is no space to "scoot"

Jeebus.

"Step. Drag. Step. Drag. Step Drag."

Who do you think is doing the "Ding Dong", Charles? The lovable weirdos.

Vince: "We wanna borrow some sugar!" <- Perfect.

They are doing a perfect job of being a weird distraction.

I agree with Oliver, don't go inside, Charles!

The Multitool!!

Holy shit, well done, Charles!

... holy shit... that Dad sounds fun. But in the end he was correct. Marshall is a killer, not a writer.

Oh my god... please don't tell me that Sazz's first draft was so good that Marshall got jelous and decided to kill Sazz? You know kid she has like 30 years of expierence within the showbiz on you. She probably read thousands of scripts and knows what works and how it works. Someone like her being better is no shame!

Also I know Marshall is not his real name but I remember it like that and I'm so bad with names.

Asshole.

EXPIERENCE! ASSHOLE! She knows the characters personally and she has expierence. Shit, she knows the murderer of the first season personally, has an affair with her. Like, of course that script is good! Jeebus fuck!!

... an A-class asshole.

Rex.

Police Academy SEVEN?! ... apparently the last of the movies... I probably saw it but if so, only once?

Aw... Sazz is so hurt :(

... if Marshall was clever and less of an asshole with his own head so far up his own ass that he could think in logical storylines, he would had killed Sazz right there in her own home.

You know Marshall, you did nothing. This was not your work...

How did Marshall remember the Dudenoff apartment??? Did he knew Dudenoff before this whole thing?

OH! RIGHT! Sazz' script... omg what was the sidestory???

They have the original script... all right, let's get through the whole killer-monolog and then we'll hopefully get answers.

... he takes off the beard and becomes a killer.

How did he close the window from the outside? Wasn't it painted shut?

OH MY GOD, SAZZ!! Believing into Charles until the very end.

Stop being so extra, Marshall

HOLY SHIT NOT LIKE THAT

JAN IS CRAZY

And freaky.

Jan and Charles are endgame?

Loretta is not gonna get murdered.

Fuck the algorithm.

Howard and Winnie! Ring-bearers.

Awww Mabel and Charles are leading Oliver down the aisle.

Jesus fuck, Uma.

Awww Dickie and Will are leading Loretta down the aisle.

Adorable!

Loretta: "You are the most extraordinary man I have ever known." O: "Ah... thank you." Loretta: "You are. You brought down a murderer, and you can merengue. I mean..." O: "Mm. What a combo."

Lmao... how sad Charles looks when Mabel takes his class of campaign.

Adorable.

Now, who is that?

Lmao Uma just stealing the elevator.

Her husband is Nicky "The Neck" Caccimelino. We heard that name in the news in episode 9.

Woman (Sofia): "I am disappointed." - Hello disappointed, we are Murders in the building.

Keep it in your pants, Charles.

Loretta and Oliver are so adorable. Holy shit.

"Where have you been?" GOSH.

So... they will find a body any moment now...

LESTER

NO

NOT LESTER

OH MY GOD

NOOOOOOO and in the fountain that he said is good luck. ... that explains why he wasn't on duty. Oh my god...

... the glass with ashes with the bow tie....

Well, that was season 4... and now it's going to be a long time until season 5.

Boi.

BOI.

[the-hungdeli-hermit]

finally wrote up a somewhat proper explanation as to why Roulette doesn’t like Chai at the start of her rather tumultuous journey. I don’t know if this can be considered a long read post but here’s your warning. Oh, and you can scroll down for some lineart pieces (really proud of those two) and another mention of a NIN album.

because we love NIN in this house

At first glance it might seem like Roulette hates Chai’s guts to an unimaginable degree, but “hate” is too strong of a word here, even in her own opinion. Yes, she does find him rather annoying, arrogant, idiotic in his antics and just in general the biggest dumbass she’s ever laid her eyes on. At the same time, she knows it’s rather pointless to be as nasty as she is to him at times, yet she feels as though she can’t stop now, like she has to be mean to him. Acting all nice and calm towards him after everything she’s said to him would be like admitting some so sort of defeat to herself.

(And she’s can be a stubborn bitch sometimes, even when she knows how she’s acting towards him is incredibly mean and stupid (her first meeting with him basically clouds her judgment; the reason for initially disliking him is really petty, a spur of a moment situation))

The issue runs deeper than that though. Ru is angry with Chai not just because he feels like a caricature of every lazy loser who thinks they’re the hottest shit out there, but because she is extremely envious of him, both his character and position. Seemingly a nobody from God knows where gets a prosthetic for garbage collection and then becomes an ambassador for one of the departments of a multibillion tech company just… because? A literal college-dropout, a slacker who doesn’t take his job seriously and just seems to leech off of the company he works for? And people even like him?!

Is it really because of his positive attitude? His stupid smile? Or… is he just that charming and lovable compared to her? It seems as though everything comes to him easily, without him even trying, that he is just that incredibly lucky.

Of course, Ru doesn’t knows his situation, what he’s been through to get to this point in time and who he had to face. Heck, we don’t even know what his past was like, but we can only assume that it wasn’t that great. She thinks her comments don’t really affect him much, that he brushes them off with ease and just goes about his life being all “rockstar” or something. 

And he does, but some of them just hit way too close to home without even meaning too.

She dreamt big too, you know? Big dreams of her own, that she couldn’t fulfil due to her life circumstances. And here he is, a reminder that more often than not, hard work is not enough. Just one lucky moment can be enough change your life completely, and her hard work couldn’t compare to that. 

At least she got lucky this time, getting accepted into Vandelay Tech as a mere HR-assistant. She thought she could change her life around completely, start fresh in a new and unfamiliar environment.

And she did, but wherever you go, you’ll always have yourself, right? And you can’t really outrun your own problems like that. It might give you more motivation to work on yourself, but in the end… who is to say that it’ll actually help you?

Their relationship will improve eventually, but only after someone will be saved once and at least one attempted murder/voluntary manslaughter? Hard to tell 

Also LISTEN TO «With Teeth» BY NINE INCH NAILS IT LITERALLY DESCRIBES HER CURRENT STATE AND FEELINGS. YOU CAN JUST READ THE TITLES OF THE SONGS AND ALREADY GET A GOOD PICTURE

Actually JUST LISTEN TO NINE INCH NAILS IN GENERAL. And I’m not just talking The Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine (both are wonderful, of course), but listen to other works too.

And now, the little art pieces:

Still experimenting with style and how to draw Roulette. The last post with her was leaning more into being somewhat realistic, while this one is just… cute. Which I really like! And of course, the second is more of an experiment with lineart. Still love my Sakura Pigma Micron pens to death, they just hit different. The scratchy look turned out lovely on the second piece.

oh yeah, and these two are the same person

Best Underrated Anime Group B Round 2: #B5 vs #B8

#B5: Amateur college track team aims for big race

#B8: Middle school idol drama

Titles, propagandas, trailers, and poll under the cut!

#B5: Run with the Wind (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru)

Summary:

Former ace runner of Sendai Josei High School, Kakeru Kurahara is chased away from a convenience store for shoplifting. Shaking off his pursuer, he runs into Haiji Kiyose, another student from his university. Haiji is impressed by Kakeru's agility and persuades him to live in Chikusei-sou, the run-down apartment where Haiji resides along with eight other students. Having lost his entire apartment deposit at a mahjong parlor, Kakeru accepts the offer reluctantly.

However, Haiji reveals a secret during Kakeru's welcoming party: the apartment is actually the dormitory of the Kansei University Track Club. He unveils his ultimate goal of participating in the Hakone Ekiden—one of the most prominent university marathon relay races in Japan. Unfortunately, all the residents apart from Haiji and Kakeru are complete running novices. Worse still, none of the inhabitants are even remotely interested in being involved with Haiji's ridiculous plan! With only months before the deadline, will the fourth-year student be able to convince them otherwise and realize his elusive dream of running in the Hakone Ekiden?

Propaganda 1:

Okay so, finally a sports anime that isn’t set in high school. (There aren’t nearly enough set in college.) MC is basically Older Running Kageyama, in both looks and personality. He has to overcome his past issues with his old track team, and learn to open up. I love the relationships that form between the team members. There’s one who is just Not Here for It and struggles A Lot, who just wants to go home and read manga. (Hey it me.) There’s also a cute dog, and a lot of the bg music is by the same folks as Haikyuu.

Propaganda 2:

I genuinely think this might be the best sports anime out there. It’s an amazing anime in general, with good animation, a beautiful art show, and a great premise, though what really makes it stand out is the characters.

RWTW is a character-driven story at heart, with all the main characters given their time to shine. The main cast is very lovable, and their relationships with each other are depicted in a sweet but realistic way. The protagonist, Kakeru, goes through a great character development over the course of the show, from being a lonely outcast at the start to accepting the other team members into his heart as found family.

While I’m not a runner personally, I still found this interesting to watch, since along with the training there’s a lot of thoughtful discussion on the nature of running: what it means to run, to be a runner. There’s a very philosophical aspect to it, which makes sense considering that RWTW is actually adapted from a book. The last thing I’ll say is that as a college student myself, it’s really nice to watch an anime focused on people in college and not high school. Oh, and the soundtrack is incredible.

Trigger Warnings: Alcohol and Smoking

#B8: Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live

Summary:

Naru Ayase is an 8th grader who can see the colors of music when she listens to it. For Naru, who is extremely good at decorating, becoming the owner of a shop like Dear Crown was her dream. One day, she finds out that the manager of a newly-opened shop is recruiting middle school girls who can do Prism Dance, and immediately applies. Naru begins to Prism Dance at the audition, and an aura she’s never experienced spreads out in front of her. At that moment, a mysterious girl named Rinne asks her if she can see “rainbow music.”

Propaganda:

WHERE DO I START.

First off: Lesbian activities. Ayase Naru and Rinne Amagi are very close friends and even end up living together. Naru is also only one of the few characters without a proper love interest which really helps further the Naru/Rinne ship.

Otoha Takanashi: often talks about fairy tales, but the only characters she ever sees as Princes are women. Baby lesbian, I love her.

Second: DRAMA. So two of the characters (Ito and Kouji) actually start dating, but their parents do not approve for reasons they are evasive about until it is later revealed in the story—[This part of the propaganda has been cut by admin due to possible spoilers]

Third: banger music. This series includes many covers of popular 90s dance tracks from band TRF, which I am fond of. It also has a lot of unique music written for the show itself which is also good, especially for a children’s show.

Trigger Warnings: It might need the emotional abuse tag for specifically one of the characters’ parents, who is a pretty extreme perfectionist when it comes to her daughter. But nothing else aside from that. It’s a kids’ show, so it never goes that far in terms of actual harm. Most things also get resolved peacefully.

I finished She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat:

I immediately want to read the manga, which may go further in plot than the show. The show was So good. So short, such an easy pace, you can easily watch when you have time the little 15 minute episodes. It's realistic while being gentle.

It really. Felt like a hug. Felt like a sanctuary. Felt like the two women's relationship, and you're taken to its comfortable loving space.

And I still think what I said earlier, perhaps even more so now. I wish I saw lots of elements of this in more media with women who love women. I know why I don't though: big companies want to make women who look conventionally hot to a broad audience so cue lots of makeup, being very skinny, fashionable often feminine clothing and makeup (which sometimes clash with the story like sets do sometimes just Too Polished for the place they're supposed to live/place characrer would shop at etc). It's not realistic, which is just a thing on shows sometimes. But it can get really... alienating? It can get to the point where like... I remember watching pretty little liars and...I've never been as skinny as any woman on that show, I never would be. I never would look as done up as them and live in big houses like them and never have... it didn't feel like Real People like me, it felt like a fun fantasy to watch at the most.

This show feels like life, feels like home. Again, Kasuga finally looks like someone I am, someone I could fall in love with in real life. And when I hear Yuki call her cute over and over? Women like Kasuga SHOULD be all over tv, not wearing makeup, in sweat shirts and pants, in simple ponytails, tall girls who will never be petite, tall girls who aren't skinny like a model, she's just very much like any girl you might walk next to at the supermarket! And she is cute! She is so lovable, and wonderful! And in this show the main woman Yuki looks at her in love, is constantly so happy because she knows Kasuga and Kasuga talks to her and Kasuga is just SO wonderful and amazing and sweet and beautiful in Yukis eyes. That element of the show alone felt wonderful to me. That for the first time since I think I ever watched any wlw story in a show or movie, that element felt realistic to me. (Oh But I'm a Cheerleader felt realistic to me in Other ways as my first wlw film and letting me know I COULD be loved, and Jennifer's Body depicted a realistic as fuck teen girl relationship that I imagine many relate to just not to the monster degree, but the actual styling of the films is still... Amanda Seyfried is utterly glam even styled plain Jane and you just accept that's how media is... thats "ordinary" to media. Not Kasuga. Who is still probably more model like than maybe an average woman, but at least they finally put someone a little less on the scale away-from-reality in front of my eyes you know?)

And by the end I think that's true of Yuki too. She's not a young woman. She's an adult working a job who's been pressured for being single her whole life. She's a woman with cooking as a hobby, and everyone assumes she does it to please a man or prep for a family: things she doesn't want. A lot of her experience feels extremely real, as a queer person. I remember being her age, girls asking who do you like in elementary, and feeling as awful as Yuki just standing there. I remember friends partnering off in high school, and not doing the same. I like that Yuki feels unique... in that I know people like her, but she's not a blueprint. She's not a pre written or pre assumed General path that perhaps outsides think we've gone on. She's not the: I knew as a teen, I came out, I feel pressure for x y z or I'm afraid of parents etc. While I love those stories too, because some of them can be relatable to some of us (the incredible story of two girls in love was very good for my heart when I was young). I like Yuki cause she's an Adult suddenly thinking about romance. An adult realizing she may be a lesbian, and exploring how lesbians live lives that make them happy. A lot of people don't realize until their adults, because society doesn't even give them awareness they can be anything but the majority (and lack of info and conservative environments etc can all increase this). I like it showing the education online and communities as helpful, it was for me in college and it is for people older. It's a nice thing. (I'm demi so I realize I'm biased but) I like that she didn't realize it until another person said she sounds in love, then she realized she is for the first time and explores it. I like that she gets to do this exploring as an adult: I think for some adults that exploring crushes is a first time, is a new journey when it seems others already are going through it and think it's easy, and I like Yuki showing us that. I loved again, that Yuki has her own hobbies and society pushes that into a heteronormative assumption about her... how many people have dealt with that, and that's a thing about our sexualities outside or dating. One can be single for ten years, but still your life may have some effect. In how people assume you do things for some gender you may not like. May choose hobbies for X when it doesn't factor in. May hit on you when you have no interest. I feel like Yukis experiences align with what a lot of queer people go through, people assuming they're straight and ignoring any other option as possible and making assumptions about them that are small (microagressions) but add up to pain over time. Her coworker assuming people could lime any gender was refreshing to her, to hear someone not assume things about her and was open to giving her the freedom to define and be her true self in their eyes was relieving.

Her seeing the Christmas couples pictures, and the lesbians in them. This tiny scene, but an example of why even "shallow" diversity marketing matters. Yeah, if I'm out and know myself and loud for a decade it probably isn't much to me. But when I was 12 I didn't even know anyone but straight people existed, it was all I saw, all I could saw (unless I found the one gay channel on cable that no one in my house watched so I didn't know existed yet). Like lol a yaoi manga some friend found was the first time any of us realized a person could date the same gender, and it seemed only in fiction could such a thing occur. I didnt know trans people existed until I saw a movie about a trans person and realized I felt like them nonstop. Like.. it's not much but when ypunger people grow up they saw their TV shows have a group of girls and some lesbians! Their games like The Last of Us Left Behind and Life is Strange had some recognition queer people exist. The ads on TV occasionally had a gay man or a lesbian. It was enough for THEM to know the world was broader than they'd otherwise think, that all of those were normal, and if they ever feel the same or have a friend who does now it will be another possible ordinary kind of person they understand! Ordinary thing. Seeing an ad for Yuki was her realizing dating her love, being with her love, is as normal as the straight people she felt isolated from her entire life. She can have her own life with Everything she wants in it, other women can. That's what diverse marketing does. A person who's never seen people like them feels seen and like they belong. People in general realize that there is a diversity of people and consider them all part of society, instead of having a narrower view of what's normal or not acceptable or not. (And god I could go into how... some very not good laws that limit what books say and what people can say around children so in public in general, can hurt all of this, can mean no lesbian in a cute couples ad, and therefore no lesbian teenager who realizes she's allowed to exist and there's people happy like her, no lesbian adult who realizes she can live a happy life and there's paths for her, no person in general who sees how so many diverse people are alike and all part of their world together... rather than a very small perception of what's normal versus what shouldn't exist... but if I delved into all that it'd get real heavy so back to show)

My point is

This show is a love letter to the ordinary life of queer women. To life generally. To liking who you are, and to others loving you for who you are. It feels like a warm embrace and I really recommend it.

[lesbianrobin]

do you have any star wars opinion u would like to share omg i love hearing ur stranger things opinions and you are so right about them i think it’d be fun to hear your star wars ones. even if you’re not really into star wars like it’d still be funny i think.

+ also my sister has a heart-shaped mini waffle maker and it’s so cute😭🫶🏻 we used to have a waffle maker that got a full clover like 4 hearts that we would separate when we were little. fun tangent to get into but my mom has a Thing for bakery apparel she literally bought so many waffle makers over the course of her life. like i’m saying this for the years i can remember we’ve got at least 6 “new” ones.

(also last thing i promise just wanted to let you know on your ask box title is too long on mobile you can only see the beginning and end with suspension dots in the middle. like you can guess what it says but yeah😭)

ok first of all im so sorry for taking so long but anyway HI i fixed my ask box title thank you for letting me know <3 and omg i have so many star wars opinions idk where to start so i'll just drop some random ones. SPOILERS FOR LIKE THE WHOLE STAR WARS FRANCHISE HERE WARNING.

basically every modern use of luke skywalker in star wars is ooc as fuck. like the luke of the original trilogy just straight up is not the same guy as the luke of the sequel trilogy or the mandalorian. he got bodysnatched at some point.

the prequels are bad like genuinely all three of them are so bad not only as star wars movies but as films in general. if you still enjoy them like sure have fun yknow i liked parts of them but when people try to argue that they're Good Actually that is insane.

rogue one is the best star wars movie outside of the original trilogy. like no contest. it doesn't try to rely on nostalgia or cgi or obvious parallels to the og trilogy, it just tells a story!! this is gonna sound silly but it's good because it's like. an actual movie. the characters of rogue one (ignoring andor which occurred after the fact for reasons that i cannot explain) are generally confined to rogue one and die at the end, meaning that the film was forced to tell a complete story and get the audience emotionally invested enough for the film's ending to feel significant and powerful. which is what a new hope did. because it had to be a good movie in order for there to be more movies in order to make star wars a thing. yknow. anyway.

the force awakens is actually pretty solid as the intended foundation for a new trilogy with new lovable characters and an inspirational story etc but after that kylo ren's whole existence just derailed the sequels as a whole and luke's characterization was so painful i just couldn't stand it. finn should have been the lead of the new trilogy with rey and poe as his leia and han but well. it was probably racism. like i'm not involved personally idk exactly what went down but i think people were just racist.

poe suddenly gaining a shady backstory that runs counter to the everything about him in the force awakens? also probably racist.

also everyone that wants to fuck kylo ren is going to hell no exceptions. sorry to my ex roommate carrie i love her but she's going down. also everyone who ships reylo or reads those tiktok books that are just reylo fic with the names changed? they're going to superhell.

the mandalorian is incredibly competent and entertaining as a show like separate from star wars as a franchise and i think the show is at its best when its engagement with existing characters like luke and ahsoka is extremely limited. not everything has to be about the skywalkers. like star wars is about a whole Galaxy and yet sometimes it feels like it's about a single fucking neighborhood the way the same bitches keep popping up everywhere across all media.

on that note i adore star wars jedi: fallen order and i think one of its greatest strengths is its use of original characters and avoidance of existing ones. like i may be wrong but i'm pretty sure the only character in fallen order that we knew Before fallen order was darth vader and i think that works really well! you go the whole game encountering new villains and allies and planets and stories and then suddenly it's like Oh Holy Shit That's Darth Fucking Vader. it's scary!! it's shocking!!! it's exciting and satisfying!!!! i just love that game so much sorry. cal kestis is my baby and i'm amped about jedi: survivor but i'm also so scared they will ruin him somehow. everybody please pray for my boy.

i'm gonna stop now but i think a lot of my opinions just kinda boil down to like. star wars should not be the mcu. i'm not against spinoffs entirely, i Adore the mandalorian and jedi: fallen order even more than i like the original trilogy, but things really don't need to overlap so much! using cgi carrie fisher for a single scene in rogue one made sense. using cgi luke skywalker for multiple episodes in the mandalorian is just dumb. the way they literally resolved the main plotline of the mandalorian in the boba fett show is ridiculous. star wars is fun and exciting and inspiring and disney sucks and i just hope that the mcu model becomes financially detrimental to them somehow and they pull it back soon.

[horse-girl-anthy]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks..

tbh this is extremely hard to answer because I have many interests. I’m sure I’ll feel bad when I remember the hundred other characters that should have made the list. I’m not putting any Ikuhara characters because it’d been too hard to pick and honestly I’d have to go through each work individually. 

1. Tenma from Naoki Urasawa’s Monster. I don’t claim to be a complicated person, alright. I just think he’s nice. every time I read Monster I get more attached to him like a little baby duck, which is what all the other characters in that story do as well so I’m valid. trying to put it into words is hard--he’s just an alluring combo of pathetic, ridiculous, cool, strong, and kind. plus he kinda becomes a religious figure by the end and I’m a sucker for that shit.

2. Xie Lian from TGCF/Heaven Official’s Blessing. I read the novels this summer after watching the donghua. I was just expecting a decent BL, but what I got was epic historical supernatural fiction (and BL). Xie Lian is such an impressively written character. his story helped me deal with my own fall from grace, as it were, and was overall cathartic and engaging. plus he’s my type. step aside Hua Cheng, I’d die for him first. 

3. Orel from Moral Orel. I love this show a lot because of its focus on the cruelty and hypocrisy of WASP America, and Orel is relatable for struggling to understand the bulltshit answers he gets to all his questions. he’s a lot more innocent than I was as a kid, but I think his kind of purity plays well against the satirical, dark edge of the show. 

4. Reki from Haibane Renmei. most of the reasons I love her aren’t revealed until the very end of the show. I’ll say that I love her because she’s the ultimate manifestation of the story’s themes of guilt and redemption.

5. Ishida from Koe no Katachi. I just finished rereading this manga recently. if you want a character who does wrong, suffers, tries to change himself, but finds it isn’t that easy, Ishida is your man. he’s such a funny, well-written teen boy, but also someone I think anyone from any background can see themselves in--the good and the bad. 

6. Naruto from... you know. Naruto was the first anime I became really obsessed with, when I was in middle school, and Naruto himself is the first character I can remember becoming attached to in an intense, lasting way. I loved him so much and I still have that attachment to him. he’s so, so cute, and so, so lovable. when I’m done with my first round of Ikuhara vids, I’m going to download Naruto so I can make my friend a Sasuke fancam and I’m also gonna make a Naruto edit just for me :)

7. Miyuki from Naoki Urasawa’s Happy! I’ve read everything by Urasawa except for Yawara, and I’m one of the only people who seems to have read Happy! I gotta say, would I pick it as one of his best works? no. I love everything he’s done, but something like 20th Century Boys or Billy Bat is clearly a more serious, meaningful story than Happy!, which comes out of his transition phase between writing romantic comedy sports manga and his later thrillers. however... Happy! is one of those works which makes me lose my mind regardless of quality. and Miyuki, the main character, is just so damn adorable. I find her a very appealing, sweet character. beyond that, kind of like Monster, the entire story is about people trying to break her down, but she refuses to ever give up and I love that sort of thing when played right. 

8. Ged from Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea series. I am still digging into Le Guin’s body of work but I’ve read most of her novels and short story collections. I could absolutely make a top ten list with just characters from her books. however, I managed to narrow it down to just three from this list, all from the Earthsea books. Ged is the only character who appears in all six books, and the reader gets to experience close the entire course of his life. he starts as an arrogant, careless boy and grows into a wise man. Le Guin decided not to leave him after he does his final great act, and his story continues after he loses his power. Tehanu, the fourth book in the series, is probably my favorite book I’ve ever read, I’ve thought about writing an analysis comparing it with RGU, and one of its main themes is life after loss and trauma. his story interwines with the next two characters on this list.

9. Tenar from Earthsea. like Ged, we get to see most of her life throughout the books. book 2 contains her coming of age story, while Tehanu features her as a widow, struggling between the life of an ordinary woman and her status in the mythology of Earthsea. she brings so much fire, mirth, and strength to the series. she’s someone I wish I had in my life, and if you really pressed me, she’s my favorite character Le Guin ever wrote. 

10. Tehanu from Earthsea. this character is a strange one to try to write about. I’ve seen people criticize her writing by saying there’s nothing to her, she’s just a vessel for the story. but I can’t agree. as someone who’s known people who went through severe childhood trauma, I think that Tehanu is written with thought and care. I love how unnerving and unknowable she is, but also how she is written like she’s any other child. the ending of her story in the final book made me sob and sob and sob.
