hey lover! series

YOU MOVED A LOT OF THINGS AROUND TO BE HERE. But you would rather be here than in a stuffy plane for the next day anyway. You sipped your beer, satisfied as your Sukuna shirt merch moved along with your little groove. The night of Sukuna’s concert finally arrived, and the atmosphere was electric.

The venue was packed with fans buzzing with excitement, each one eager to see him perform live. You had managed to snag a private box for the event, a little piece of luxury where you could enjoy the show away from the crowd while still being close enough to feel the energy radiating from the stage.

As the lights dimmed, the crowd erupted into cheers, and you couldn’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation. The sound of the guitar riff echoed through the arena, and Sukuna made his grand entrance, the spotlight illuminating him as he stood at the center of the stage, confidently gripping the mic. He looked every bit the rock star in his stylish outfit, and your heart raced at the sight of him.

From your box, you watched in awe as he effortlessly commanded the stage, his charisma pulling everyone in. As the music flowed, Sukuna began to scan the audience, and to your surprise, his gaze landed on your private box. His eyes lit up with recognition, and a huge grin spread across his face.

You couldn’t help but smile back, your cheeks flushing slightly as you waved. The moment felt electric, and as if the entire venue held its breath, fans below began to notice the interaction. Whispers spread like wildfire, followed by excited shouts and gasps.

“Did he just smile at someone in the box?!”

“OMG, it’s Y/N! He’s looking right at her!”

“ISN’T SHE SUPPOSED TO BE IN PARIS RIGHT NOW?!”  

“WHAT THE FUCK, SHE DELAYED HER FLIGHT???”

“GUYS HE’S MELTING HE’S BEING CHEESY OH MY GOD!”

The energy in the crowd shifted, amplifying as they realized what was happening. Screens around the venue captured the moment, broadcasting your shared smiles across the big screens, and fans lost it. The sound of excited screams filled the air, and it felt like the entire arena was reacting to the undeniable chemistry between you two.

“Look at that! They’re totally a thing!” one fan shouted, waving a sign that read “Y/N & Sukuna Forever!”

You laughed, slightly embarrassed but thrilled at the reception. Sukuna, clearly enjoying the moment, leaned into the performance, still occasionally glancing over at you, his smirk not wavering. It was like he was feeding off the crowd’s excitement as much as they were feeding off his energy.

“Can you believe this?” you said to your friend who joined you in the box. “They’re all going wild just because he’s looking this way!”

“I mean, can you blame them? It’s a whole rom–com moment happening live!” your friend teased, nudging you playfully.

You roll your eyes, hiding how flustered you were. “Yeah, yeah, we get it.”

As the concert continued, Sukuna would steal glances your way, each time eliciting louder cheers from the audience. The more he performed, the more he incorporated little winks and smiles directed at your box, and you couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest person in the world.

During a particularly upbeat song, Sukuna jumped down to the edge of the stage, getting even closer to the crowd. He pointed at you, and the fans erupted again, screaming as if he’d just proposed on stage.

“HE POINTED AT HER!” 

“OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD — HE’S DOWN BAD???”

“HE  SO LOVES HER, THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR!”

“WHAT IF THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED?!”

“FRIENDS MY ASS??? JUST KISS HER SUKUNA, DAMN!”

As the chorus hit, Sukuna broke out into a playful dance, bringing more attention to your box. You felt your face heat up as you waved again, this time with a mix of shyness and excitement. The audience was eating it up, chanting your name mixed with his, a rhythm that echoed throughout the venue.

By the end of the concert, the energy was still palpable, and the crowd was buzzing with excitement. As Sukuna finished his final song, he took a moment to look around, soaking in the atmosphere. His gaze found yours one last time, and he blew you a kiss before bowing dramatically to the roaring crowd.

The fans around you lost it, squealing and cheering as if the arena had just witnessed a historical moment.

After the show, you found yourself flooded with messages and notifications. Fans were posting clips, photos, and every angle of the moment that had unfolded during the concert. 

“Sukuna and Y/N are officially the cutest couple!” one tweet read. 

Another captioned a photo, “When the rock star notices you, and the world stops!”

You couldn’t help but grin, realizing that this night would only deepen the playful speculation around you both. As you left the venue, you felt a wave of joy wash over you, knowing that every little moment you shared with Sukuna was turning into something special for both of you and the fans.

Backstage, Sukuna approached you, a wide grin still plastered across his face. “Did you see their reaction?” he laughed, running a hand through his hair. “I think they might have liked it a little too much.”

“Just a little.” you replied, your heart racing. “You’re unbelievable! You really know how to work a crowd, darling! Well done you!”

He shrugged nonchalantly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “What can I say? It’s all about showmanship… and having the best company.”

Sukuna’s smirk deepened as he stepped closer, his towering frame casting a shadow over you. The energy backstage still crackled with the high of the performance, and your pulse raced just being near him. His eyes, sharp and gleaming with amusement, locked onto yours as he leaned in, his breath hot against your ear.

“Speaking of the best company,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “I think you owe me a little celebration, don’t you?”

Your cheeks flushed, but you met his gaze with a playful glint of your own. “Is that so? What kind of celebration are we talking about?”

His grin widened, showing off his fangs. "Oh, something intimate, doll." he purred, his hand sliding around your waist, pulling you against his firm chest. His fingers traced light circles along your lower back, sending sparks through your body.

Your breath hitched, but you managed to keep your voice steady. "You want a reward for being irresistible on stage? Or just for being... you?"

He chuckled, his lips brushing against the shell of your ear, causing you to shiver. "Why not both? I think I deserve it, don't you?" His hand traveled to the back of your waist. 

You swallowed hard, your heart pounding at the intensity in his gaze. "Maybe... maybe you do. I…I do owe you dinner before I go to Paris.”

He grinned at you. “Sounds like a treat.”

➽──────────❥

YOU WERE STILL EXHAUSTED, HAVING JUST LANDED IN L.A. But you supposed that’s just how life is for you. Sukuna was probably on a plane to Asia by now, to do the Asian leg of the tour. So his phone would be off. Still, you messaged him, telling him he should get a good rest and that he should eat. Another text, wishing him good luck for his upcoming concert in two days. And another to remind him to call you when he can.  

A few weeks after the concert, you found yourself on the set of a popular  late night talk show, to promote your latest stage play work. Everything in you was just buzzing with excitement with the right hint of nerves. You were there to promote your latest project—a film that had just wrapped production—and the buzz from Sukuna’s concert was still fresh in everyone’s minds. Fans and media alike were eager to know more about your budding connection with the rock star.

As the cameras rolled and the host welcomed you onto the stage, the audience erupted into cheers. You waved, feeling a rush of adrenaline. The conversation started off smoothly, discussing your film, the challenges you faced during production, and the amazing cast you had worked with.

Then came the question that made your heart race. “So, Y/N, we all saw you at Sukuna’s concert a couple of weeks ago! It’s your first time attending a Sukuna special, wasn’t it? How was that experience for you?”

You smiled, reminiscing about the electrifying atmosphere. “Oh, yes. It is the first time. It was absolutely incredible! Sukuna is such a talented performer, and the energy in the venue was unmatched. I had a blast!”

“But I heard that you had a schedule before this, you had something going on in Paris?”

“I did, yeah. So it was for an ambassadorship shoot for a brand I’ve worked for a while and I had to go already and the invite, it was really last minute because I wasn’t really sure I’d make it.” You giggled as you saw the picture of you beside your friend on the screen. “My original flight was around the time the concert was happening. So, I was just like, ‘fuck it, we’ll sleep on the plane’; I called Sukuna, he already for a long time reserved a box for me.”

“That is just next level sweet, because he didn’t even know you were going to say yes and he still reserved that private box for you.” The host grinned as the people swooned over the revelation. “That must have touched you a lot.”

“It did.” You admitted, smiling from ear to ear. “Sukuna was just happy to see me there and I couldn’t be more thankful to just be welcomed and be a part of his world for a little while you know? It was amazing.”

The host nodded, clearly intrigued. “And speaking of Sukuna, I couldn’t help but notice he posted a rather adorable picture of you two after the concert. What’s the story behind that?”

Your heart skipped a beat, and you felt your cheeks heat up. You hadn’t expected to be asked about the picture so directly. “Oh, um… well, we were just having a fun moment backstage after the show….a lot of adrenaline left off from the stage!” you stammered, trying to maintain your composure.

The host leaned in, a teasing glint in their eye. “Just a fun moment, huh? Because it looked a little more than just fun to me! Fans are shipping you two harder than ever! How does it feel to have that kind of attention?”

You chuckled nervously, glancing at the screen where the picture was displayed. It showed you and Sukuna laughing together, a casual yet intimate moment that captured the chemistry between you. “I mean, it’s nice to have fans that are supportive, and I think it's fascinating how people are really interested in it all. ” you said, trying to play it cool. “But we’re really important to each other. He’s my darling and I’m his doll. We’re great together.”

The audience erupted in playful laughter and cheers. “Great together indeed. Cause both of you look like you’re ready for a rom-com!” the host chimed in, smirking.

You took a deep breath, your heart racing. But you grin. “I mean, aren’t we already doing a rom–com in Jujutsu Kaisen? Your lover sacrifices everything to be with you and becomes the King of Curses for you? A keeper!”

“Right?” the host grinned, clearly loving the playful banter. “But fans can’t help but wonder if there’s something more you’d like to show for it, especially after that concert moment. You know, the whole ‘knight in shining armor’ vibe.”

“Okay, okay, I see how it is!” you said, laughing to cover your flustered state. “I can’t deny that he has a way of making things fun. My darling’s just like that. But well, perspective’s important!”

The segment continued, but you could feel the teasing energy lingering. After the show, social media exploded with clips of your interview, and fans were buzzing with excitement over every little interaction you had with Sukuna.

Later that evening as you head to dinner, you waited out the traffic by scrolling through your SNS feed, you noticed a new post from Sukuna. It was a picture of you both from the after tge concert. You were both back stage and he held your face close, still in the zone from adrenaline of the stage. Though this time he added a cheeky caption:

“Who knew my lucky charm could steal the spotlight? Just saying, Y/N, you’d make an amazing concert partner! Thanks for coming, doll! 🎶’

You felt your face flush as you read through the comments. 

“THEY’RE OFFICIALLY DATING! I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES!”

“Sukuna is just down right down, and I’m here for it!”

“Someone get these two a rom–com deal ASAP!”

“SUKUNA CAN YOU FIGHT??? Y/N MY BELOVED <3”

“YO HE’S SMILING SO HARD IN THAT PHOTOOOOO, HES DOWN BAD!!!”

Your heart raced at the playful nature of his post and the overwhelming response from fans. As the notifications continued to flood in, you decided to send Sukuna a quick message.

You’re such a dork. Can’t believe you posted that!

He replied almost instantly, What can I say? I like posting about you, doll! Besides, you looked amazing that night. Can’t help it. I gotta make no names jealous of me.

Feeling a mix of giddiness and slyness, you typed back, Thanks, bubs. I’m pretty sure everyone’s jealous of me too. Because they like you a lot. And I’m with you. But then again, people are just guessing.

Let them think what they want, he replied with a wink emoji. To be fair, doll, that’s all part of the fun for me. And who knows? Maybe there’s something more. Always a lot of room for you, doll.

Your heart skipped a beat at the implication, and you couldn’t help but wonder what the future held for both of you. The playful teasing, the chemistry, and the supportive friendship were all creating something special, and you found yourself excited about what was yet to come.

As the days went on, you embraced the fun of the speculation, realizing that maybe, just maybe, there was something more blossoming between you and Sukuna that you both were yet to fully explore.

➽──────────❥

YOU WERE EXCITED TO RETURN TO TOKYO. Not only because you missed seeing your extended family, but because you were going to finally reveal the months of hard work that bore the next season of Jujutsu Kaisen. You like to think that this season is the one you were most proud of. Not only because you finally got to play more than flashback scenes, but also the first meeting of Hiromi and Sukuna in a thousand years. You know that the fans would be just as excited as you. 

As you walked out of your car, stunning in your bright silver embroidered kimono, you were just waving towards all the fans you could see. Everyone’s excitement was palpable, you know that much.. The red carpet was packed with fans, media, and of course, the cast. 

You and Sukuna finally meet each other on the red carpet, looking stunning and greet each other with the warmest smiles and greetings. You both were surely ready to celebrate the launch of the new season. Fans lined the streets, holding signs and screaming for their favorite characters, and the energy was electric.

After the screening, the cast gathered for a Q&A session, with reporters firing off questions about the new season, character arcs, and behind-the-scenes fun. The mood was lively, and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves.

Then came the infamous game of “Fuck, Marry, Kill” and you knew it was only a matter of time before the question landed in your laps.

The red carpet host grinned as they turned to you first. “Alright, Y/N, let’s start with you! Who would you Fuck, Marry, and Kill from these cast? Sukuna, Nanami and Mahito.”

You paused for a moment, a playful glint in your eyes. “Hmm, let’s see… I’d have to marry Sukuna, Fuck… maybe Nanami, and kill—sorry but Mahito–kun! Sorry Nana–kun, Don’t have a choice!”

Laughter erupted from the audience, and you could hear the cheers from fans who were thrilled by your answer. But it didn’t stop there. The host turned to Ryomen Sukuna, a mischievous grin on their face. “Alright, Sukuna, your turn! Who do you choose? Y/N, Uraume and Naoya.”

Sukuna smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Easy. Marry Y/N, Fuck Uraume and uhhhhhh…..kill—Naoya Zenin! No apologies!”

The crowd went wild. The laughter and applause swelled as fans processed the fact that both of you had chosen to marry each other.

“Did you hear that?!” someone shouted from the audience. “They want to marry each other!”

“Wait, are they actually dating?! Are they really!?” another fan exclaimed, their voice rising in excitement.

You exchanged amused glances with Sukuna, both of you trying to keep straight faces amidst the chaos.

“We’re just interesting together!” you insisted, giggling as you waved your hands dramatically as if to emphasize your point, but the playful glint in your eyes said otherwise.

The host chuckled, clearly enjoying the moment. “Right, sure! Just friends who want to marry each other—totally believable!”

As the cheers and laughter continued, the excitement reached a fever pitch. Fans were snapping photos and tweeting in real-time, the clips of your answers flooding social media.

“OMG, did Sukuna and Y/N just confirm they’re in love?!” one tweet read.

“They're the ultimate power couple!” another one chimed in.

“I’m officially declaring them a couple!”

The energy was infectious, and as you and Sukuna tried to maintain your composure, you could see the delight in each other’s eyes.

As the panel wrapped up, you found yourself walking out with Sukuna, surrounded by the buzz of excitement. “Well, that was something, isn’t it?” you laughed, shaking your head. “I can’t believe we just did that!”

“Hey, they asked the right questions, doll.” he replied with a smirk. “And I meant every word!”

You felt your cheeks flush, both from the teasing atmosphere and the undeniable chemistry that hung between you. “You’re ridiculous, darling.” you said, nudging him playfully.

“Maybe, doll. But at least we’re entertained, don’t you think?” he shot back, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

You shook your head, smiling. “I suppose so.”

As the night continued, you both enjoyed the attention, the playful speculation, and the excitement surrounding the premiere. It felt like the perfect blend of friendship, chemistry, and the thrill of the unknown, and you couldn’t help but wonder just where this journey would take you both next.

Later that night, after all the excitement of the premiere had settled, you found yourself scrolling through Twitter, still buzzing from the energy of the event. Your timeline was flooded with clips from the Q&A, including the moment you and Sukuna had declared your “marriage” to each other. You couldn’t help but chuckle at the reactions pouring in.

Feeling a playful urge, you decided to quote-tweet the video. “Just a casual night at the premiere! 😂💍 #JujutsuKaisenSeason2Premiere”

Almost immediately, the notifications started flooding in, and the laughter continued as your friends from the cast began to chime in.

“@Y/NTheOne Can’t believe you both chose each other! Are we taking bets on the wedding date?” Yuji (@YUJIITAAA) teased, adding a winking emoji. “@ItsRyoSukuna, unc! You better watch out, grandma and grandpa would wanna know when the wedding is!"

“@Y/NTheOne Next time, maybe choose someone a little less deadly for your ‘marriage’ or something!” Nobara (@BARABARA²)quipped, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm. “But hey, at least you’ll have a killer wedding party!”

You couldn’t help but laugh at their banter, but that wasn’t the end of it. Maki Zenin joined the conversation, tweeting, “@Y/NTheOne Just remember: If you get married, I’m the one picking the outfits. No pressure!”

“@ZZZZZMaki If you’re in charge, I’m definitely eloping!” you replied, trying to keep a straight face.

Even the official Jujutsu Kaisen account (@JJKOFFICIAL_EN) jumped in, tweeting, “#JJKFamily is all about love! Who else is rooting for our favorite couple?” The hashtag started trending, and fans went wild, eagerly discussing the playful exchanges.

As the notifications kept pouring in, you could see Sukuna (@ItsRyoSuku) had also quote-tweeted the video, simply stating. “Only label needed is #MyDoll, you know?.” The simplicity of his tweet only fueled the fire further, and you could hear the collective gasps from fans as they interpreted it in a million ways.

With each new tweet, your excitement grew, but so did the teasing from your castmates. “@Y/NTheOne I swear if you don’t invite us to the wedding, I’m crashing it!” Gojo jokes, adding a laughing emoji. “Gotta involve your work hubby!”

You rolled your eyes, a smile plastered on your face. “@GojoRuRu7 I’ll let you be the best man if you promise to keep the sunglasses on at all times.”

Your phone buzzed again, this time with a DM from Sukuna. You’re really good at riling up flames. Love it, doll.

You smiled at his message, feeling a warm flutter in your chest. It works because you’re so good, bub. But I’m glad we’re riling it up more. It’s fun.

He replied almost instantly, Fun? You call this fun? I call it now — this is the start of our next big project. Reality show, anyone?

With a laugh, you typed back, As long as I get to pick the outfits!

Just then, your friend and castmate Shoko (@SHOSHOKO)chimed in, adding more fuel to the fire. “@Y/NTheOne And you know we’ll all be tuning in for that show! Would watch the chaos unfold any day!”

The laughter and teasing continued throughout the night, with fans and castmates alike enjoying the playful banter surrounding your so-called “marriage.” It was clear that you and Sukuna had unwittingly become a part of a larger narrative, one that thrilled both your fans and castmates.

As you continued to interact with everyone online, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and joy. The playful teasing only added to the fun atmosphere, and you looked forward to what the future might hold—both for your career and your friendship with Sukuna.

The night concluded with a group chat among the cast, where the jokes and memes continued to fly. “@Y/NTheOne Ready for the wedding planning? I’m bringing the snacks!” Yuji sent, eliciting more laughter from everyone. "My mom and my grandma are ready to help out!"

“@Y/NTheOne Don’t forget to send me the dress code! I want to look fabulous!” Nobara added.

You sat back, grinning as you took it all in. This whirlwind of fun, laughter, and playful speculation was something you never wanted to end, especially with Sukuna by your side. The unexpected bond you were forming felt like the start of something beautiful, whether it was for the fans or just the two of you.

Hiiii im here with some donuts to share!!!

I think wire styled locks would be really cute!!!!

idk i made two versions one for og hair colour and one where xer would have to colour xer hair to match wire extensions

ALSO EVOL TOXIC DONUT!!!! xer slightly off center but im too tired to fix that sorruuuuuu

OMG THE WIRE EXTENSIONS!!!!!

Though Donut's natural hair color is brown, xe just bleaches it white most of the time. I might do a few ending screens where xer roots are starting to show, or flash-forwards or flash-backs to when Donut had brown hair. Also, xer twin brother has brown hair, but I haven't really posted him much.

Also I absolutely LOVE evil toxic Donut!!! It would be SO embarrassing for the CEO of Toxic Inc.'s company if their facility core just "voted them out". Like "my company just decided to stop working for me because it fell in love with some random ass programmer"

Also the screens with just eyes are a really good idea. I'm going to steal that.

I really want there to be a wedding ending where Donut and Toxic get married, and Donut gets an adorable white suit with a big fluffy cravat.

Man, now I want to draw Donut in different outfits and hairstyles more.

“Really!? Hyung, thank you so much!” Jisung squealed as he unwrapped his presents, a warm sweater in his hands. 

Chan grinned sheepishly. “Anything for you, Hannie.”

Minho nervously fidgeted with his fingers. He was quite certain Jisung would love his gift the most, but there was still a chance the boy would be weirded out and would probably never talk to him again. 

Lino insisted on giving his gift last, knowing that Jisung would probably get distracted if he showed his gift before anyone else’s. 

When it came to his turn, everyone’s heard turned expectatingly, and Jisung gave him a heartwarmingly sweet smile. 

Minho took a deep breath before standing up, leading Hannie to a new room constructed connecting to his room.

“Wait. I thought they were upgrading the kitchen in there or something.” Jisung commented, and Minho shook his head. 

“No…I paid for the construction to fit…this.” He gestured to a huge machine placed in the center of the room. 

“What’s this?” Jisung asked, walking around it while squinting or try and determine its purpose. 

“None of the staff or anybody knows about this, by the way. I took adequate precautions to assure that doesn’t happen. But it’s a…tickle machine.”

Hannie immediately shot his head up. “What?!” 

“Well, it’s a soundproofed room for a reason.” Minho grinned. 

“Wait wait. A tickle machine? What—how—” Hannie was confused, to say the least. Minho shut the door and locked it, but he wasn’t nervous. 

“Sit here.” Lino guided his legs onto foot rests and hoisted him onto the table like structure of the machine. “Lay down.” 

Nervous giggles built up in Jisung’s throat as he laid back into the mattress of the table, and he squeezed his eyes shut as Minho guided his arms to straps above his head. 

Once his arms and legs were strapped down completely, Minho switched it on. 

A voice immediately began to speak. “Scanning.” It scanned over the quokka’s body and asked a few questions. 

“Age? Height? Weight?” 

Minho answered all the questions and set up a safeword for Hannie, which the machine had him repeat 10 times to assure he knew the word. 

“Okay. What do you want it to do first?” Minho asked, and Hannie’s face flushed at the question. 

“Waist?” Jisung asked. It was a classic warmup for him. So perfectly torturous but somewhat tolerable at the same time. 

“Okay!” Minho imputed a few settings on the hand sized display.

One of the screens ahove Jisung’s body turned on, a large one minute timer set up. 

When it started to count down, hands were mechanically raised from the sides of the table, tapping twice against the area of Hannie’s waist before it began to vibrate in place. 

The fingers teasingly wiggled towards his sides, and Jisung’s body twitched in anticipation, his eyes squeezing shut. 

The second they reached the sides of his waist, Jisung began to cackle, the feeling of the vibrating rubber tickling oh so much into his skin. 

“OHOHO GOHOHOD IHIT TIHICKLES MOHORE THAN I THOUGHT IHIT WOULD!!” Jisung began to shriek as the fingers lifted the edge of his shirt up, slipping underneath and tickling him mercilessly. 

“NOHOHOHOHO!! IHIHITS REHEHEALLY BAHAHAD!!” 

“Try using the safe word.” Minho wanted to test the machine. 

He was pretty skeptical about trusting a machine with his lee tied up, so he wanted to make sure it would stop. 

“PEAHA—PEACHES!!” Jisung yelled, and the fingers quickly slipped out of his shirt and off of him. 

Minho breathed a sigh of relief. “Either way, the kill button’s there.” He pointed at the red button near Jisung’s hip. 

Jisung grinned as Minho unstrapped him from the machine, and he sat up and hugged the older warmly. “Best gift ever.” He mumbled, and Minho hugged him back with a smile; He knew what Hannie would like after all. 

Jisung groaned into his pillow, he really missed Minho and was honestly craving the older’s touch. 

Sure, he had gotten wrecked by Chan and Seungmin earlier, but nobody knew him as well as Minho did. 

Then Jisung had an idea. What about that machine? 

His lee mood killing him, Hannie headed into the room, shutting the door and locking it. 

He walked over to the display, and then saw something. 

Minho had saved a plan. Jisung quickly looked through it; It looked like a work in progress, but he didn’t seem to find anything wrong. 

He set the timer for five consecutive minutes, and then climbed onto the machine and slipped his hands through the straps. 

Once they had tightened and the machine tested him on his safeword, Jisung watched as not one, not two, but three pairs of hands emerged from the sides of the table. 

His eyes widened as suddenly, two hands slipped under his shirt, while one pair rested over his armpits, and the last one aimed for his sides. 

‘Wait. This wasn’t a part of the plan.’ Jisung thought, but he let it happen anyway. He trusted Minho and knew he would never hurt him on purpose. 

Suddenly, all the hands changed direction and began running up and down his sides, leaning Hannie howling with laughter and twisting on the table as the vibrating fingers tickled his bare sides senseless. 

The rest of the hands travelled back to their respective spots and began to dig in.

One hand suddenly spread oil over the boy’s sides, leaving him whimpering as the other hand spread it around his skin before tickling him again. 

“AGHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Jisung twisted on the table, finding himself immobile and unable to escape as the hands tickled his sides, armpits, and belly until he squealed in ticklish agony. 

They gave the same oil treatment to his underarms before scribbling over them with longish nails that certainly weren’t there before. 

Either way, they certainly pulled the loudest of laughter from the trapped boy beneath it. “NOOOHOHOHOHOHO!!” 

Hannie couldn’t remember if the oil was in Minho’s plan. He didn’t count on it. The older hated the feeling of the slippery oil and would never use it willingly unless Hannie had asked for it. He was sweet like that. 

The oil was beginning to melt slightly, only slicking up Hannie’s body more as more hands emerged and joined in at his thighs.  

That was what got him. “AHAHA!! NOHOHOT THEHEHEHERE!! IHI CAHANT TAHAKE IHIT THEHERE!!” He pleaded, but the machine was ruthless in its torture, cold and unforgiving. 

Jisung regretted wearing shorts the second they were pushed up a little and his thighs had oil spread on them. ‘This machine really enjoys killing me, doesn’t it?’ 

Before he could get another thought out, more vibrating fingers prodded the area, and Jisung fell apart into more laughter. 

“IHI NEEHEHEED A BREAK!! PEHEHEA—PEHEHEACHES!! PLEHEASE STOHOHOHOP!!” He screamed as the four pairs of hands ruthlessly tickled their respective spots until his brain turned to mush. 

But he wasn’t even able to get his safeword out correctly, laughter always interrupting him. 

Hannie began to thrash and scream as more hands emerged, spreading the dreaded oil on his now bare feet before using a rubber spiky glove to scrape up and down his trapped soles. 

“AAAAGHAHAHAHA!! NONONO FUHUHUHUHUCK STOHOHOHOP!! STOHOHOP PLEHEASE!! PEHEHEACHESSS OHOHO MYHY GAHAHAD!!” Hannie was pretty sure he sounded insane, screaming his head off as it became too much, quickly overwhelming him. 

Jisung tried to free his hands, actually managing to free them from the straps binding them and shooting his hand to the kill button near his hip. 

Two hands left his armpits to grab harshly at his wrists and yank them above Hannie’s head again.

“NOHOHOHOHO LEHEHET MEHE GO PLEHEHEHEASE!!”

Jisung realized with horror that he couldn’t escape no matter what.

The timer was counting down. 3…2…1…

-1…? 

His eyes widened as he realized…wait. It was a trap. The machine had trapped him.

He thrashed with a harsh scream when the fingers returned to his underarms again, and he glanced upwards to notice another pair of hands. 

“NO-NO PLEASE NOT ANOTH-NAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Hannie cried out, tears of joy and frustration rolling down his face, but he couldn’t help the wide smile of joy that didn’t allow him to cry. 

“PLEHEHEHEASE LEHET ME GOHOHOHOHOOOO!!” Jisung sobbed desperately as the tickles in every direction made his head spin.

Funny how ironic that was, considering Minho would usually cheer him up this way. 

“Hannie! I’m home!” Minho cheered, happiness overwhelming him at the prospect of being able to see his baby after such a long time. 

He walked to his room, but wasn’t able to find him, the only thing greeting him was an eerie silence. 

Nervous, Minho travelled around the house and even checked the other dorms, to find that Hannie was nowhere to be found. 

Until he noticed the room he had installed for him. Minho rolled his eyes as he thought of Jisung having such an unbearable lee mood that he had to go to the machine to relieve it. 

He tried to open the door, just to find it locked. That’s fine, he had a key. 

The second he opened the door, sounds of strained giggles wafted through the air, along with…sobbing? Minho slammed the door open and almost had the biggest whiplash of his life. 

The timer displayed numbers going into the negatives, -2:34:07. 

Multiple pairs of hands were holding Hannie’s whole body down, and Minho watched in horror as the younger twitched away from the hands that wouldn’t stop tickling him no matter how much Min could hear his broken pleas. 

He has basically became desensitized to the intense tickling, but he still cried and even squealed when a hand hit a sensitive spot.

Minho ran to the kill switch, yelping when another hand tried to grab his, and another tickled at his side suddenly, startling the hell of the older. 

“Wahait!! Whahat—AHAHAH!!” Minho suddenly screamed as a singular vibrating finger slipped into his v-line area on accident.

The hands tried their hardest to grab Minho and stop him from reaching the kill button. 

But he managed to hit it, shutting the whole thing down. The hands released Jisung and Minho’s wrists, and Hannie sobbed tears of relief as the timer display turned off. 

“H—Help me…” Jisung whimpered, twitching in place and curling up on himself.

Lino scooped the boy up in his arms, taking note of the slippery substance the boy was covered in, presumably oil? 

Hannie twitched in his arms, exhausted and still sobbing, and all Minho could think about was how stupid he was that he left Jisung alone with the thing without helping him, and  he didn’t anticipate the machine going rogue. 

‘I mean, it’s AI. What was I thinking?’

He set up a warm bath for Hannie as he laid on Minho’s bed, tired and exhausted. 

Minho picked him up, startling a loud scream from his throat, almost making the older drop him. “Shit, I’m sorry. Hannie, it’s me. It’s Minho hyung, yeah?”

Jisung finally gained the courage to open his eyes, and he visibly softened at the sight of him. 

“Hyung, weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow?” Jisung’s voice was exhausted from he constant screaming he had been doing.

“You’re lucky I decided to come early. My poor baby, three hours?” Minho asked. 

“I—I only put it for five minutes, I swear. I set it on one of the random plans you made, because I didn’t really know how to use the thing and I trusted you to be safe and—” Jisung began to cry again. “Hyung, I was so scared…w-when it didn’t let go…”

Minho cooed and wrapped his arms around the boy, rubbing his back gently and promising him he wouldn’t do anything like that again. 

“I-It wasn’t like you at all.” Jisung sobbed. “You know w-what’s good for me.” 

Minho sniffled a little, dropping his head so Jisung wouldn’t see. “Fuck, I’m so sorry, Jisungie. It was all hyung’s fault, yeah? You didn’t do anything.” He suddenly began to feel really guilty. 

The two hugged warmly, Jisung still trembling lightly, and Minho treated him to a warm bath and soup, along with a trip to Hannie’s favorite bakery for his favorite cheesecake. 

All Hannie could say was that he definitely preferred his ler to the heartless machine. 

Hey, what happened to that machine?

“Hey…what’s this?” Hyunjin approached the machine, clicking a green button. 

His eyes widened when the screens turned on and hands grabbed at his sides.

I POSTED BOTH YALL BETTER FUCKIJG LOVE MEH :D

jk i know you guys love me so much BUT I EXPECT TO SEE REACTIONSSSS

[elisela]

read until end omg check please / nurseydex / au for @missanniewhimsy who has been waiting for this fic since the wild beat the caps in march, whoops .

Apparently, being a writer doesn’t pay the bills.

Yet.

Derek always likes to tack that on there. Being a writer doesn’t pay the bills yet, because it will. One day. Hopefully not in the far-off future because he’s got high hopes of moving out of the closet his landlord calls a studio in Flatbush, but that would require several things to happen first, like finishing a manuscript.

He’s working on it.

Turns out that while writing in college had been fairly easy for him, making time to write in between the dead-end jobs that pay the bills when he had no energy left for anything that wasn’t staring blankly at moving pictures on a screen wasn’t so simple. And thanks to the endless parade of dead-end jobs—barista, ticket seller at an off-off-off Broadway theater, cashier—he rarely had an entire day off to devote to finishing the last three chapters of his book.

And when he does get a day off, miracle of miracles, he goes and does stupid things like says yes when his friend asks if he can please, pretty please (with a cherry on top) cover for him this weekend. So instead of burying his face in his computer and a gallon of coffee, he’s out here at the Flatbush farmer’s market, sitting underneath a stark white tent surrounded by books that no one’s so much as glanced at in the last forty-five minutes.

The pies have been flying off the table. Bitty’s in no danger of not making a profit today and Derek’s pretty sure he’ll have to erase the last two flavors—peach and strawberry rhubarb—from the board any second, but the books.

No one’s even looked at the books, despite the large sign declaring them free.

He doesn’t even know why Bitty has them. Well, he knows why—because Eric Bittle has never been able to say no when faced with his sweet old neighbor dropping off anything at his door, let alone seven full boxes of books that she claimed she couldn’t take with her to the retirement home. What he doesn’t know is why Bitty couldn’t just turn around and take them to the nearest donation center. They look out of place in the tent that had been filled with baked goods, and Derek doesn’t blame anyone for looking right past them.

He’s not looking forward to packing them all back up at the market’s end, but at least he won’t ever have to bother with it again.

—

Of course, where Bitty can’t say no to sweet old ladies, Derek apparently can’t say no to Bitty and his big pleading eyes. So when he calls again on Wednesday night—talking so quickly that the words blend together—Derek ends up right back at the market with the books.

The Thursday crowd is calmer than they had been on Saturday, which is both a blessing and a curse. It means Derek’s not on his feet the entire time, but there’s only so much people-watching he can do before he goes crazy. It’s basically inevitable that he picks up the nearest book, despite its god-awful cover, and starts reading.

And reading.

He has to set it down every few pages to smile charmingly at people wandering by and make small talk—no, he’s not the baker, that’s a friend of his … oh yes, everything from scratch, you wanted gluten-free? Right over there in the blue boxes—and it's during one of those conversations that he hits on an idea. 

“Wouldn’t it be nice to spend a quiet afternoon reading and eating pie?” a woman asks her friend as Derek loads up a paper bag with her purchases. 

“Feel free to take as many as you want,” he says, and watches as she reaches towards the pile and hesitates.

“They don’t really look like my thing, but thanks,” she says. They leave without another word and he hardly sees them go. They didn’t look like his thing either, but the one he’d picked up was good, and—

It doesn’t take much to rip a paper bag in half and rustle up a tape dispenser and marker from Bitty’s supply bag. He spends a few free minutes sorting through the books on the table, setting aside a few that look promising, and then googles reviews on his phone as he wraps them up. All it takes is writing a few generic, key phrases on the paper before he scatters them carefully throughout the boxes of pies and sits back in his seat.

The books fly off the table after that, so quickly that Derek’s previously chill afternoon is now spent feverishly wrapping in between schmoozing and doing the job Bitty is paying him in baked goods to do. Closing comes as a relief this time for a different reason, and he’s just starting to pack the remaining books back into boxes when a shadow falls over the table.

“No more blackberry?” someone asks, and Derek almost snorts. He’s been out of pies for nearly an hour, he’d only stayed to get rid of some more of the books. 

“Sorry man,” he says, glancing up—a mistake. Derek’s always been a sucker for redheads, and the setting sun has cast a glow that makes his hair shine nearly golden. “No more anything.”

The man’s face falls, and Derek’s heart along with it. 

“Come back next week, I’ll make sure you get one,” he says before he can stop to think about all the things wrong with that sentence, starting with the fact he won’t be there. 

The guy’s fingers trail over one of the wrapped books Derek hadn’t yet put away. “Magical realism,” he says, sounding amused and more than a little dismissive. “Never really got the point.”

Derek straightens up at that and looks across the almost-empty table. “Sounds like you haven’t read any,” he says, and reaches over to push the book closer with two fingers. “Should try it before you make up your mind.”

The man grins at him, crooked but sure. “Too late for that.”

—

The next Thursday morning finds Derek wishing he’d never been born as he listens to Bitty repeat every word of their conversation to Jack, only to come back on the line to say, “You can come along, Sugar, but this I’ve got to see.”

A few more minutes of cajoling Bitty gets him nowhere, and, already resigned to his fate, he fires off a text to Jack. 

I’ll give you $20 if you convince him to stay home.

It doesn’t take long for Jack to respond. This is excessive, especially for you.

The day is nice, at least, and Bitty running his own booth does mean that Derek is kept well fed and can hide behind his laptop screen. He’s writing in the sense that he deletes two out of every three sentences he comes up with but it’s more than he’s produced in the last month, so he’ll take it. He’d definitely be more productive elsewhere, but being elsewhere would mean that he couldn’t glance up and down the street every forty-five seconds hoping to catch a glimpse of bright red hair, so he stays. The constant tapping at the keys earns him proud looks from Bitty, who seems to think he’s getting much more done than he really is. 

Derek doesn’t dissuade him of that notion.

It figures that the man he’s been idly thinking about all week comes up at the exact time that Derek’s zoned in, fingers punching out sentences he’ll no doubt hate the next day. It takes Bitty poking his shoulder to realize it, blinking at the slight disorientation of the sun being in a completely different spot than he remembered—shining right into his eyes—and being addressed with a question.

“—says you saved him a blackberry pie?”

Bitty’s blinking in a manner that is likely supposed to look innocent and misses it by a mile. He knows perfectly well the pie in question is resting in a bag at Derek’s feet, because he’d put it there himself. 

Derek stares back at him. If Bitty’s going to insist on intervening, Derek’s not going to make it easy for him.

“For heaven’s—” Bitty mutters, and turns a sparkling smile on the man as he reaches down. “Sorry, Will. Derek just gets so focused sometimes, it’s like he’s on another planet. You know how writers are.”

“I really don’t,” the man—Will—says, but he’s grinning as he looks at Derek. “Thanks for saving that for me. My shift ends too late for me to get over here any earlier.”

“All good,” Derek says. His back, which has not appreciated the last several hours molded to a metal folding chair, chooses that second to twinge. He shifts and stretches, and catches Will’s eyes dropping to his torso as he does. “I saved you something else, too.”

Bitty had given up on giving away the books—Derek was mostly certain that was Jack’s doing—but he’d had brought what he’d needed along. He takes the immaculately wrapped book out of his backpack and passes it over, forcing himself to keep a straight face as Will’s eyes scan the bullet points. Sword fights, he’d written at the top, followed by patricide and descriptions of food so good that you’ll need at least five snacks while you read.

Magical realism had been conveniently left out.

Will grins, his shoulders shaking with a short laugh. “I’m not much of a reader.”

That’s—almost a deal-breaker, and Bitty seems to know it by the way he jolts into action. “Five snacks—well, you’ve already got the pie but I’ve got some of these cookies I’ve been testing, they’re missing a little something but I haven’t figured out what. Take some and come back next week and tell me what you think. And if you go to Justin over there—he’s got the best salsa, just tell him Eric sent you and he’ll toss in some chips. Derek, sugar, would you go get the peaches that Chris is holding for me and start loading them in my car?”

He looks over at Will—already biting into one of the cookies Bitty had almost thrown at him—and winks. “Enjoy.”

The reader comment can be forgiven by the way two identical patches of red immediately bloom on Will’s cheeks.

—

It takes just a few days for Derek to get a text from an unknown number on his phone.

Still isn’t my thing.

You read until the end, Derek writes back. He’d written his number on the fifth to last page—just far enough from the end that it probably wouldn’t be seen if someone was just flipping through.

Only because I kept expecting it to get better.

He taps the back of his phone, ignoring how Jack jostles him when he squeezes his way onto the couch, tossing a bag of chips down on the coffee table as the theme to Hockey Night in Canada plays. We can hit up the bookstore, he finally types in. I’ll find something you like. Cornerstone, Thursday at 7.

Three dots appear and disappear so often that Derek is sure Will is trying to find a polite way to turn him down. What he gets instead, however, is—It’s a date.

hi!! omg tysm for creating a blog for writing for our fluffy dude 🥰 could I request a short fic!! the reader making friends with the former team star members, particularly Atticus and Giacomo, and Arven mistakes your friendships as them flirting with you, so he gets kinda jealous and nervous, then rushes a confession? and then the reader is like omg they’re just my friends but yes I like you too! tysm 💟

Thank you! I hope you like this alright?

Gotta Gotta Be Down

Arven x reader, no gendered pronouns used

--

Arven is not a bully.

Well.... Maybe sometimes he's a bit of a dickhead, but he's not, like, a bully-bully. Like he's not going to sit there and make fun of someone who talks weird or looks weird or whatever. Live and let live and all that.

He's aware that those Team Star guys went through the ringer, so he doesn't purposefully want to be mean to them...but fuck, could they just leave you alone?

He gets that you're pretty much the coolest person in the region, so he understands why they want to be around you so much, but...damn it you were his friend first, and... Well if he's completely honest he wants you as much more than just a friend now.

So, it pisses him off when he sees Atticus with his hands on you one day when he goes to pick you up from the now League-Sanctioned training center that was the previous star base.

Arven had opened the door, calling your name, and you had jumped a bit. Atticus was on his knees behind you, a measuring tape around your waist.

Wait... Was that Atticus? When did he get so hot? Was he always that hot? What the hell? Why was he hot? Why was he even touching you while being hot?

Arven blushed. "S-sorry! Didn't mean to interrupt!" He covers his eyes with his hands even though you and Atticus are both very much clothed and decent.

"Arven!" You cry, surprised. "It's not what it looks like."

Atticus stands behind you, wrapping his tape measure back up. "Greetings! I was only getting our illustrious champion's measurements, so as to complete a gala costume for the upcoming League Festivities, my good man." Atticus supplies helpfully while resting an amicable hand on your waist. The motion isn't lost on Arven whose eyes narrow in frustration.

"Yeah? Well. I was...uh, bringing our illustrious champion some lunch!"

You smile, stepping away from Atticus' grasp, making Arven inwardly cheer a bit. "Really? Ugh, hell yeah!" You groan. "I'm starving! Where's the food?"

Arven panics a bit. "Uh... I...um. haven't made it yet. I was coming to get you, so I could, uh...take your order, special?"

"Oh great! Let's see..." You pause, wracking your brain to decide what you might like for lunch. Fuck, why is it so hard to decide what to eat whenever someone asks for your order?

Arven stands there looking between you and Atticus for a moment.

"Well, if you don't mind, we'll just be on our way then?" He says, trying (and probably failing, to be completely honest) to keep the vitriol from his tone.

Atticus only smiles as he waves the two of you out of the facility.

You leave without saying goodbye, too lost in thoughts of lunch and what you want Arven to prepare, so you text Atticus an apology later for your poor manners.

-

A few days later, Arven is once again looking for you. This time he's freezing his balls off in Montenevera because you said you had some business at Ryme's gym. When he heads over to the stage though, he sees you and that weirdo Giacomo huddled closely together watching something on a laptop, sharing a pair of old school wired earbuds.

He seethes so hot the icy temperatures hardly seem to faze him for a moment.

Wait. What the fuck? Why is he getting so possessive over you like this? Like it's not like you have feelings for that pineapple head anyway, right?

That's when he sees Giacomo place a casual arm around your shoulder as he points to something on the screen while his head bops to some beat unheard to Arven.

It's too intimate a touch, and Arven can't stand it. He shouts out a stuttered yell of your name, maybe a bit too loud for public, but he wants to be sure you hear him over whatever trash Giacomo is probably playing through the earbud.

You look up to see him in the distance and stand up, waving him over with a cry of "Arven! Hey!"

Meanwhile, your abrupt motion causes the laptop to topple over and the earbud to pop from your ear, making Giacomo scramble beneath you as he tries to keep the tech safe.

Arven jogs over, smugly satisfied to have interrupted whatever was happening. Was that dickish? Fuck, maybe it was, but you're smiling at him from up on the stage, and he forgets any semblance of whatever wrong thing it was he just did.

"I was wondering when you were gonna get here! Giacomo was just playing some of his beats that he's working on for the gala. Right?" You look down and notice your friend still scrambling to pick up the pieces of your sudden movement. "Shit, sorry. Did I fuck that up?"

He sighs. "No harm, no foul. I'm gonna head inside though. Ryme'll be pissed if anything happens to her equipment."

"Sorry!" You repeat, feeling your face flush in shame.

He shrugs. "S'fine."

"Can I...?" You're not quite sure how you could help, but it feels weird not to offer. You look to Arven for guidance, but he just shrugs and offers you a hand to help you jump off the stage.

"I think Giacomo's got it, right, buddy?" He almost called him little buddy as some kind of dig. Oh, he was so close, it was right there on the tip of his tongue, but he held it back.

Giacomo nods, none the wiser, and you take Arven's hand as you hop down. It's warm against your own. How long had you been out here listening to music anyway? You shiver, only now feeling the chill.

"Wanna grab some hot chocolate and get somewhere warm?" Arven asks you, resisting the urge to wrap a protective and warm arm around your shoulders.

"Sounds great! See ya, Giacomo!"

Arven leads you away without sparing a second glance at the guy.

The two of you end up grabbing some warm cups of hot chocolate from a vendor down the hill a bit and then post yourselves on a bench near a space heater looking out over the northern mountains and sea.

You sigh contentedly and lean against your best bud as you sip your drink, and Arven had to put a concerted effort forth into not physically melting.

"S-so, uh... The league has been keeping you busy lately."

"Yeah," You huff. "La Primera's all gung-ho about this gala thing, talking about how it'll reflect well on the league and the region and everything."

"So...she's been making you hang out with the team star bosses?"

You laugh. "What? No, they're just work friends. Or... I guess regular friends, too? They're all good people. You should hang out with them, too!"

Arven's chest squeezes uncomfortably. You go on. "We're just all involved in the project in different ways, and I'm overseeing a buncha stuff for La Primera anyway, so I've been using it as an excuse to catch up."

Arven hums. "They're...uh. They're not expecting you to bring a plus one to this gala... Are they?" It's not the most tactful he's ever been. But then again, Arven Sada-Turo has never exactly been the definition of tact in the first place.

"I'm allowed to bring a plus-one, yeah, but I don't think any of the Star folks need it. They all have their own invites, after all." You take another sip of your drink, blissfully missing the point.

Arven laments. "N-No. I mean. Uh... Can I...escort you, or whatever, to the gala? As your plus one?"

Smooth, Sada-Turo. Smooth.

"Oh! Sure! I'd love to bring you along! It'll be great! Big buddy and little buddy at it again!" You knock your shoulders gently against his jovially.

"N-No... I mean, not as 'buddies'... Like. Could we, maybe...?" Arven looks away from you and sets his cocoa down on the bench's armrest to cover the lower half of his face with his hand. His free hand meanwhile feels for yours, interlocking your fingers in a way that feels puzzle perfect. "Ya know?"

You look at your conjoined hands and smile widely.

"Oh! Oh, yes! Yes, of course, Arven, yes!" You put down your own drink, which is nearly empty now anyway to wrap him up in a massive beartic hug.

"I didn't think you'd want to! O-or that you even felt that way!"

Arven chuckles a little bit, your acceptance of his confession making him feel so much lighter than before. He returns your embrace, snuggling into the crook of your neck.

"Are you kidding? I've felt this way for... Geez, I dunno how long. I just... I didn't want the Star guys to get to you before I got my chance, ya know?"

You laugh, not breaking contact.

"Who? Atticus and Giacomo? C'mon! They're only friends! Nothing like my best...uh...boo? Boo-dy? Boyfriend buddy? ...You!"

Arven snorts. "We'll figure out terms later."

"Later." You agree.

[scouped]

[wildflowerteas]

part 2 of the live reactions. hello. what the fuck. someone get me a padded room

KOUYOUUU!!!! I had so much fun showing the very start of Kouyou and Yosano's friendship and eventual relationship with that super short scene at the Double Black. just a reminder that skk and sskk aren't the center of the universe, no matter the story. the lives of the characters that don't get screen time or physical evidence are just as complex and affected by the happenings. for better or for worse.

shirayuki-chan is Kyouka! that's not a huge spoiler, and she'll be making an appearance quite soon, so I'll just let you guys in on what I have planned anyway. 1962 was the last year it snowed in L.A. ( though it was only a trace ), and I'll be going into it in more detail later, but it's the year Yosano found Kyouka abandoned by her parents ( and it would make her 18 in 1978 ).

"Side pairing" means NOTHING to me you're so right. PINK IN THE NIGHT 😭😭😭

I won't say anything so that I can't perjure myself. But Margaret is the only lawyer mentioned so far, and there's only one client of hers with the gall to go up against the Mori Marine transport corporation ( I wonder why? )

Something I shamelessly do when Atsushi is having conversations with people from the 50s timeline is I make him seem more knowing/in-tune with them ( to the point that I exclude the reader sometimes ) because he's got Dazaism to guide him lol

can't sneak any flower symbolism past you guys i need to start getting creative

from beloved nyxi's comment ^ i knew the kousano scene and a lot of the lines from it would get screenshotted ( i shamelessly wrote it with you guys in mind ). glad to see they hit their mark.

every time dazai arrives to a scene i quickly become homophobic. i do not like that man.

all i'm going to say about Sigma is that they've been shot in front of atsushi in canon, and I've had the desire to recreate that scene in TSP since the moment I wrote their meeting at Tycheron.

THE DEAD/ALIVE CHARACTERS THING IS SOOOO NEAT OMG. fanfic meta . . . also funny that you should bring up Amy Winehouse . . . "we only said goodbye with words" . . ..

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK? noticing the shift from Dazai's initial thoughts about goldman to this speculation that he may have tried to save her??? YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY.

as always i am blown away by the details noticed. and just so so grateful. also so glad that tsp sunday Mondays are back. as stressful as they can be, by Wednesday I'm missing writing and plotting and planning and thinking about soukoku and hazy Los Angeles.

i think 'what the fuck' is an apt reaction to this chapter as a whole. i was definitely whispering it to myself the entire time i was writing.

[superherotiger]

hi im back because i keep thinking about a specific scene from xmen apocalypse and ive annoyed all my non dadneto friends too much already. so ive never seen anyone on tumblr talk about this (tho maybe i just missed it) but theres a part after charles has been kidnapped where hes pleading with erik to help. and erik says something like "whatever you saw in me died, along with my family" and theres an immediate scene change after that to peter and co trapped with stryker. but the way the scene is framed, peter is in the dead center of the shot. like everyone is circled around him and hes DEAD center. and i refuse to believe that wasnt completely intentional to have erik just saying all his good died with his family- only to cut to a family member that is very much alive. anyway we were robbed of the dadneto reveal have a nice day

OMG OMG OMG TRUST ME YOU’RE NOT ALONE I SCREAM ABOUT THIS EVERY TIME I WATCH APOCALYPSE LIKE AHHHHHH!!! It’s the immediate cut to Peter IN THE CENTRE OF THE SCREEN that gets me bro. Like ERIK ITS OKAY YOUR FAMILY ISN’T DEAD THERE IS STILL GOOD IN YOU AHHHHHHH!!!!

You’re so right, I’m forever thinking about how we were robbed of a Dadneto reveal 😭😭😭

If you’re ever in need of a canon Dadneto reveal though, go watch the episode ‘Family Ties’ from X-Men (1992) because it’s PEAK content!! (Also there’s a Dadneto hug in that show in the season 5 premiere ‘The Phalanx Covenant’ which GIVES ME LIFE!) Those writers really knew what we wanted, unlike the movie writers 😩

Have an amazing day!

hello omg would you be willing to expand your thoughts a little on the throwaway shah rukh x south asia tag on the manipulative hurt/comfort post because i dooo get it a little bit as someone who grew up in an india where he had almost as much sway over the masses as any political figure (also would you agree that he no longer has that kind of social capital as he once did, with how the country has increasingly given in to the ruling party’s political manipulation, esp vis à vis the. well. communal rhetoric)

I think again this is v similar to what I said about Vale! I wasn't an Shah Rukh girl growing up, his deal didn't really appeal to me but I think it has made more sense to me with time. But there is a reason he is one of India's last true superstars. I think the post bacchan era where cinema halls were more ubiquitous and going to the movies became a bit more democratised he was truly able to produce some emotionally intense and tasteful work when films were becoming bigger cash grab opportunities and quality was going down the drain. SRK's real gift (quite like Vale) is that he's simply too sharp but with a real emotional vulnerability at the center. He got his start with Delhi's theater scene and carried those chops and that honest sentimentality to the screen in a way idt anyone else has since. And that's really what's at his core, he is incredibly smart, he knows he wants to be loved and he has done what he could to get that publicly, there is an honesty to him that I can appreciate.

And you're right he did hold some political sway at some point because he signified the kind of diversity the country was okay accepting pre 2014. A Muslim man who privately but steadfastly holds his faith and married a Hindu woman. The idea of a person like this would cause many people to short circuit in the current age. Imo srk still tries to bring some of the tolerant values back but we are a bit too fargone in what we have become. I don't look to srk as my political messiah tho, and he has never wanted to be one (imo), so I guess there is not much to be done there.

ur tags on the one post PLS share some of ur wayne analysis if you’d like

I covered the fact Wayne represents the Frogs' logos (with Emma being the pathos but I'm still trying to decide who's ethos. Bowie? Julia? Julia misquotes the Dalai Lama and talks about goddesses and crystals, so probably her?) but it's really noticeable how malleable a person Wayne is. In Ep04, while he sets himself up for being on the offense with Raj, Bowie, and why-ever they brought MK along, when it was obvious they were better off defending, he was like. defense it is. As he is a sports boy, it'd be assumed he's only good at one position (as most goalies couldn't just become a center fielder as a sub, since they don't train for the same things), especially a less "glamourous" position such as defense (in reality it does not matter, but people pretend offense players are better) He's an exceptionally good sport, which is not something we can say about all the other sports-based/jock TD characters.

It's also to note that Wayne is the first person on the team to call out MK on being a bad team player. Wayne doesn't usually look mad, but he did NOT look happy at MK refusing to huddle up and suggest there's no reason to think strategy. He's completely ok with Emma taking over and picking roles tho, so he's pretty damn comfortable with not always being the leader (as noted with Ep02, where he adapts to Emma's plan. have I mentioned those two are such team leaders for the Frogs? A million times? Oh sorry)

There's a notable subversion with their paired identities for Wayne and Raj. Wayne is the captain, while Raj is [one of the] alternate captain[s]. Essentially, Raj is Wayne's vice president. However, Wayne is a lot more reliant on Raj, than their team identities are. Throughout the season, Wayne asks Raj's opinion on everything (notably in Ep01, as one of his first defining characterizations), but Raj doesn't as often do the same. In Ep06, Raj is the one to immediately leave the catapult, while Wayne made no motion to be the one to separate themselves. He also didn't comment on Bowie calling the two of them in their "cozy", (which Raj defends, saying they're teammates, so) because that sort of attachment is so normal to Wayne he doesn't feel a need to react to people commenting on it, while Raj does. In Ep03, Wayne receives a [long] pep talk from Raj, but Raj never needed one himself going first of Emma's suggestion (or it happened off screen, but like, if it did there'd be the time for a joke where someone says "WE ALREADY DID THIS"). And also the bit in Ep06 where Raj explains Wayne has a way too stressed face when pooping (note: Raj?)

There's also the long-running plot point where Wayne is pretty concerned with what Raj thinks of him, afraid that Raj is afraid he's homo/biphobic, and that's the driving reason that Raj didn't come out to him like. Immediately. The fear of "well he tells me everything, if he won't tell me this, it's clearly something I did", but due to the 13 episode time limit of the show, Wayne didn't have time to make this insecurity about him and was just increasingly unsubtle, never really trying to force him out.

I know it's super easy and super fun to reduce the two to "omg sports himbos <3" but Wayne's got some emotional intelligence on him, and he is not a carbon copy of Raj, and it's much more than just the lack of a gay love interest. He'll always take the role of leader, but if someone else has a successful idea, he'll hop down and let them take the wheel. Paired with his leadership, friendly attitude, and general respect for everyone around him (not to Keith tho) I can see him making finale a lot more than I can see Raj making finale.

I think having the boys on separate teams and having Raj leave pre-merge could be really impactful. Wayne waits at the cabin for Raj to come back and tell him who left, but he just... never returns. Wayne wasn't at the ceremony, so he didn't even get to say goodbye. Wayne wants to throw the challenge but someone (Emma, Bowie, Julia, etc) tells him to snap out of it because Raj would be furious Wayne gave up on himself. And Wayne has to pick himself up off the ground and win for Raj. Like the Katie and Sadie micro-arc, except give Wayne more time to suffer within himself before being told to stop, as well as not axe him with no actual development. I think that kind of emotional rupture could change my brain chemistry.

[church-of-lilith]

Honestly what does give me a little comfort in kind of a messed up way is the fact that us sapphics aren't exactly alone-they pretty much screwed over EVERY minority lmao: Nate's storyline wasn't really explored and mostly centered around his relationship with Jade, Keeley could have had a whole fish out of water storyline like Ted about winning over her coworkers but instead the focused on her relationship drama, completely wasted Edwin and Shandy's potential for cheap laughs, gave a half assed attempt at writing Sam's storyline only to call him literally getting hate crimed a "big whoop" and never address it again, never actually giving Dani a storyline, like the list goes on and on XD its honestly kind of impressive how they managed to lowkey tear down their entire legacy Omg if you can edit your reddit post you should also mention how the only other sapphic character on the entire show is that creepy dog breeder..

This is so true. It feels like they dropped the ball for every single minority character and the longer you think about it the worse it gets.

Let’s talk Nate for a second because his whole storyline really baffles me. They had him coaching at Westham, and then they had him quit (or was he fired?) from Westham OFF SCREEN? And then suddenly an episode later he’s back as the assistant kitman for Richmond? I’ll never understand why these writers were so dead set on him coming back to Richmond, all so he could just fade into the background. And while I do believe the whole kit man decision was a temporary one, and that going forward they made him a coach again, I don’t like the implication that he worked through his issues this whole season to just end up back where he was. There’s no reason Nate couldn’t have gone off and gotten another coaching job at another team! He’s still the Wonder Kid, clearly has mad skills and credibility, you can’t tell me there isn’t a team who would have wanted him! I understand he had to return to Richmond briefly to have closure and make his apologies, but then he could’ve gone off to coach elsewhere and continued to spread the Lasso Way and change the lives of other people! We didn’t need him at Richmond when basically all the work has already been done. I wish they would’ve given me any indication that he’d really been impacted by this whole arc he went through & then gone off to be the change he wanted to see in the world.

Keeley’s whole storyline being about Jack & the business was such a waste of Juno Temple’s amazing acting, and an underutilization of the fan favorite character we know and love. Most everything about her seemed so off this season? And as you pointed out, she really didn’t even become Miss Independent until the very end when Rebecca took over financing and she was able to make decisions about her own business finally. I would’ve much rather they had Rebecca funding it from the start (or at least earlier in the season) so we could have seen her adventures and misadventures through running her own company that didn’t have anything to do with her messy, exploitative relationship with Jack.

The way I feel about them trying to tackle racism with Sam’s storyline is the same way I feel about them trying to tackle homophobia with Colin’s. If you’re gonna half ass it, don’t do it at all. And they certainly didn’t put half the amount of time and effort they needed to into thinking up how to properly handle Sam’s storyline. We went through the whole hate crime that was never addressed again. And then we had this big problem with Edwin in the final episodes where he was like “I’m going to destroy your entire life and you’ll never make money with the restaurant and you’ll never play for the National team.” And then that was just NEVER addressed again?? Not even a throwaway line about Rebecca taking care of it or something?? He was suddenly playing on the Team and the only explanation we were given from Brendan during the AMA was that it was due to ‘national outcry’ like give me a break. Not to mention we never saw Simi again and so we never got to see if she and Sam ended up together. We were sort of just left to infer that everything worked out for Sam, and that just doesn’t work for me.

Poor Dani Rojas was doomed to be nothing more than a joke from the very start. He deserved more, but at the same time I’m almost glad they didn’t give him more because the storylines this season were awful.

So yeah, feels like all of the minorities on the show lost. I don’t know how the writers managed to do this in so little time, but you’re right it is really impressive.

CBS Ghosts - Hello! - Game's Over, Sam's Done

Warning - Spoilers May Appear

Clearly, the best way to get Thor to leave them alone is for him to get to watch his viking fellows on TV.  He’s SO into it, I love it.

I wonder if he always uses his TV time just for this?

Jay’s just like “Why waste utilities” and Thor goes from being peacefully distracted by the mission to drive Sam crazy because Jay’s trying to save money and can’t hear him.

Poor Sam - she had inadvertently gotten one to leave her alone, only for Jay to ruin it.  

I do love Thor calling Jay “Small Man”.  I wonder if the TV was enough for him to come around to the idea that they could stay as long as he can see Vikings? Because his demand was just to watch TV.

Also, not really shown in this scene, but the ghosts are easily distracted - Thor with the TV, Isaac and Trevor with Hamilton, Hetty and Flower with the hole in the wall.  Like Half the ghosts abandoned the plan the second they found something more interesting. 

I'm convinced the only ones into the Mission are Pete, Sass and Alberta. I wonder why? Sass - drama? Alberta - her murder? But Pete? Very Curious.

I burst out laughing at the Cholera ghosts - if it isn’t mr fix it.  

They’re mocking him and he has no idea and it cracks me up so much.

Stewart should have gotten Nancy’s screen time, honestly.  He's so funny.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I KNOW WE’RE DEAD BUT HE’S TRYING TO KILL US!  - I love Stewart - he doesn’t pull back - he’s just like COME ON MAN.  Even though he KNOWS Jay can't hear him.

Those Cholera ghosts have some fun after all.

I love that they’re all yelling as if he can hear them - STOP IT MAN!

OMG this is SO SAD!  Sam’s gotten to the point where she thinks that she’s having a Psychotic Break.   POOR SAM.

This is SO interesting - Hetty was not a part of the whole “drive her to acknowledge us” plan.  BUT because of JAY, she’s now driving Sam crazy (when the ghosts IN on the plan have disappeared?) because she’s like “I can’t deal with a hole in the wall”.

Funny to note - Hetty’s struggling here and I can’t wait to see what she’s like in Season 3 when she actually shares a room with Flower.

LMAO I love that Thor calls it a Sorcerer’s window - he’s like “damn it, woman, I just want to see my people.”

Poor Thor, it’s been so long but he misses his people. On the other hand, Sam's busy losing her mind, Thor.

Aw, Sam.  My heart breaks for her.

This is interesting.  Trevor does this thing where he was going someplace and then stops weirdly when he notices who he’s looking for has been found is in that room.  He does the same thing in the Christmas special - so I wonder if he was looking for Hetty at the time???

Anyway, Boy, Trevor doesn’t take rejection well.  Before he was just a poor puppy excited to find someone and connect with someone, now, he’s like ‘fine, I'll be better off without you’.  

This leads into an interesting part of his psychology.  We know that he wants to be the big man around town, he wants to be the center of attention, he wants to have a connection with someone, and he wants to be included and wanted.  

And when he doesn’t get these things - he feels down and sad - which we see in one of the opening scenes, but quickly, he goes on the offense.  It’s only been like a day and Sam’s going through hell, but he (like ALL of the ghosts) only thinks about what he’s feeling and rejecting it.  He wants to mask his negative feelings and project them onto Sam.  

Thus, going for an offensive attack to get her attention - and it works, somewhat.  But also, it probably worked in life, too, hence doing this.  

Doesn’t excuse him, but I do think that he didn’t do this just to be a jerk, but because he’s just trying to deal with his own emotions in the wrong way is interesting. It doesn't make him any worse than the other ghosts that do the same in various instances.

Also, I think he didn’t start with it because he’s not really *that guy*.  He’s only doing it now because he couldn’t handle the rejection (which ISN’T okay). And he backs off quickly when she runs away to the hospital. We never see him do this, again.

Also, what is that face, Thor? You’re just like ‘whatever’.

And Hetty’s too busy trying to get Sam’s attention to interact with what Trevor’s doing here?  You’d think she’d defend her. Since she does - sort of - like Sam.

POOR SAM - She’s just like “God this is terrible”.

Trevor, boy, there’s nothing genius about this.  But I do love them all chasing her to the stairwell.

APPARENTLY, SAM CAN ESCAPE THEM - evidence?  They don’t go downstairs because “they are terrifying” - how are they terrifying??? I need to know.

is it because they smell? Is it because they are different? I just - need to know.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to reach out and chat :)

[chaifootsteps]

i'm sure others have already commented on the way the flashback was handled in the leaked ep but GOD it's been taking up so much space in my mind. it really shows just how important it is to plan ahead to have reveals like that feel satisfying.

like blitzo killed HIS OWN FUCKING MOM accidentally, and we're supposed to get this from what, a 5 second clip? seriously????

if this show was actually planned out and well-written i feel like it'd have more foreshadowing and hints at what happened. just things to get you wondering. like idk. in the first ep iirc blitzo is tied up and the humans try to burn him and he doesnt react to the fire in a weird way at all??? HE KILLED HIS OWN MOTHER BY ACCIDENTALLY CAUSING A HUGE FIRE!!! idc how much blitzo bottles things up. some sort of reaction wouldve made so much more sense - like, if moxxie or millie or whoever was tied up with him i cant be bothered to go check - said that human fire doesnt hurt them instead of blitzo, and then he acts kind of off, it could be like a "oh i wonder why he's acting like that even though it doesnt hurt him" and then its the reveal and its like "ohhh omg thats why." something of that nature. just SOMETHING to buildup to the reveal. and god i wish it was longer.

i wish there was more time to see both fizzarolli's and blitzo's perspectives on the accident. i mean it starts with fizz waking up, there could be like, a dream sequence that portrays blitzo all evil, showing that it still haunts fizz and makes you wonder what really happened- but then the jump from that to him waking up would be complete tonal whiplash so i dont think that would really work with the episode as is- honestly the whole thing just needs to be rewritten. this whole show is a mess actually. it's taking up so much of my brain. i'm sorry.

god and the whole thing is so STUPID too. fucking, there are people... at your birthday party....? wtf... *accidentally bumps into the imp carrying the cake* oh the cake has fallen and i have accidentally killed my mother and caused irreversible damage to my friend !

but but but WHY is blitzo like that. its fizz's goddamn birthday party no shit he's the center of attention. yk what im not even going to rant abt that. its all just shitty writing.

despite all that i'm still excited for the episode tomorrow, helluva has great animation and fizzarolli is the only character i care about so i'm really looking forward to see him fully animated just on screen. the song had its bad parts (fucking secret to bitcoin part) but i love how over-dramatic fizz is, he loves performing so much it's cute

it was bad, it was just so incredibly bad, and the only redeeming thing about it was that it's Fizzarolli. I'm looking forward to see him and Ozzie in full animation (lack of composition aside) and that's about it.

[ortali]

[maleposting]

Yeah, I know, she was so surprised.

Really?

Oh, for sure! I mean, it wasn't very big, just a little bug, but Flower went crazy!

OMG, Flower is really afraid of bugs!

Well, yeah. Flower thinks she's so fabulous! Like the time she asked Icy if she was beautiful...

Flashback to Flower and Ice Cube.

Ice Cube, don't you think I look beautiful?

Uh, no?

Flower kicks Ice Cube.

Flashback ends.

Oh, oh! I remember that! I am so gonna get revenge on her! I cannot believe how she thinks we will be her servants! I'm so glad you guys are my friends, though. Really! Bubble likes me too. Right, Bubble?

Ice Cube grabs Bubble and starts hugging her.

Uh...

Right...?

Um... Yeah...?

No! Ice Cube! Stop!

Bubble pops.

Bubble Recovery Center

Bubble gets recovered in the Bubble Recovery Center, but then nearly gets stabbed by Blocky, using Pin.

Pin, you nearly popped me!

Oh, it's not my fault.

Camera pan, revealing Blocky holding Pin.

It's this stupid Blocky here. It's his fault!

Pin kicks Blocky, sending Pin flying.

Fine, I'll get Needle.

Blocky grabs Needle from off-screen and throws her at Bubble. Bubble ducks to dodge Needle.

Help!

Yikes! What was that for?

Hey! I'm just in the mood to hurt someone!

Ahh... ahh... AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE!

Blocky kicks Woody.

(screams)

Enjoying life

Woody, get up! There's a life out there to enjoy, so, enjoy it!

Awww... Aiyeee...

Teardrop, calm down! Kicking Woody could severely injure him.

He is balsa.

I can't believe what a scaredy-cat Woody is, he's so uncool. Pen, though, you're cool.

So are you, Eraser.

Gliding accident

Snowball hits a mountain while gliding, and crashes on the top.

Oof!

Woah! Rocky! Wake up!

Whaa? Hi, S.B!

Wheeee!

Oof! Hi, T.B, my good ol' friend!

The feud

Coiny! You're so dumb!

Hey!

Oh my gosh, Firey! You're sooo easy to slap!

[Off-screen] Firey! Coiny!

Stop fighting! And Spongy, take a bath! You're stinky!

Sorry.

The show's introduction

Isn't Golf Ball bossy?

I know! She is like a bossy bot.

Uhh, you know, a bossy robot?

Well, a robot that was built to be its bossiest!

I'd do anything to get away from her.

... or Flower...

... or Woody...

... or Spongy!

Well, then you're in luck.

Uhhh, how?

Well, everybody, they're building the island of luxury. It's called Dream Island. A whole square mile of paradise, a five star hotel, a casino, six restaurants, robot servants...

... and the winner even gets to decide who gets to come in and who doesn't.

So, umm, how much will it cost?

Not even a penny.

Then I'll take it!

But what about everybody else? They want it too, you know.

Uhh, I wouldn't give up that island for anything.

Neither would they. So we must settle this with a contest.

The contest begins

So yes. Whoever stays on the bar the longest wins.

Let's help each other!

Yeah!

Blocky! Wake up! What are you doing?

Uh-oh!

Out of my way!

I need my space!

Help me, Pin!

Thanks!

Start of an alliance

Let's form an alliance!

That would do no harm!

Let's do it!

[Off-screen] Wha? An alliance? [On-screen] I've got to join!

Coming through! Sorry, Pen. Hey guys, can I be part o-

No.

The two plunge into the ocean.

Coiny's mistake

Blocky! Come on, wake up!

Coiny shakes Blocky, but accidentally knocks him off the bar.

Oops!

Coiny, don't ever... oops.

The final 6

Yeah!

There's the evil Flower! She's still in.

Let's run her over!

Yeah!

Uh oh!

Hey! We're flying!

You're right! Woo-hoo!

Uh oh!

Pull up!

I... can't! Oh no! Blocky? Rocky? Help!

What is it?

You're stepping on me!

Better?

Yes. Now pull us up!

Woah!

Teardrop! Hold on to my other arm!

Ha, ha! I'm wearing Non-Slip Shoes So Ha!

Hey! Grrr...

Ahh!

Ohh, wha...? Eww, Oh my god...! Uhhh... Uhhh... Ahh!

Nice going, Pin. A job well done.

Teardrop, let's swing!

Yay!

Pin! Alliance, remember?

Oh yeah!

Leafy! You're stepping on me!

Wha...?

Oops.

The final 4

Yeah!

Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Scissors beats paper! I get to push you off!

Wait, hold on a sec! We didn't agree to that!

Look, when I win the island, I'll let you on to the island.

Pin! This still isn't fair!

Only one of us can win.

Um, Pin? Wrong finger.

Whoops.

Heh heh... Anyway, still, only one of us can win.

That's where you're wrong. The two of you both win.

Wait, we both get the island?

Nope! You just get to choose the teams. The teams for a much larger, longer battle to win Dream Island.

Oh great!

It's not that bad...

#whatever that means

[justdoityo]

can i just say..... as a xiaojunzen.... this was very pleasing to watch
