#hahah she has a good debate going

[overnightheartbeats]

He playfully saluted her, confirming that they would indeed stop by the gift shop. It was a good compromise, no full tour in exchange for shopping. The gift shop wasn't haunted, right? Well, he'd be safe. He just got confirmation that his wife and daughter would keep him safe. What more could he possibly need? "I hope you're right, because being teased by my own daughter will definitely be something. Oh, the tiny outfit is so cute to think of. We should definitely consider dressing her up as a ghostbuster one of her first years, oh - we could all be ghostbusters! Matching costumes or something." One kiss from his wife wasn't enough, he needed more. Aaron leaned in once more, giving her a soft kiss, his lips lingering against hers. "That does help a lot, I'll be your scaredy cat amor."

"I am being completely serious," he mumbled near her. Aaron was committed - what she wanted, she'd get. He chuckled at the suggestion, if it even was a suggestion...Aaron wasn't too sure. It did seem like a big decision, her face showed that there was a lot of thought behind it. "You're so excited about the gift shop though, we should still go. Promise that we still have the evening to ourselves." After going through half of the tour, they needed the souvenir to prove he had even gone in. Otherwise, no one would believe him.

Aaron shook his head thinking of his dad. His parents' excitement could not be understated. Julia was right, his dad would absolutely forget about him when his granddaughter came into the world. As his mom would. They could not be more excited for a baby to join the family, Aaron's first child too. "They're gonna want to spend a lot of time with our baby, and if she's a soccer player...oh, even more. My dad would be so amused, especially because I was never any good at it."

He grinned ear to ear as he felt their daughter's kicks against the palm of his hand. Aaron would never tire of the feeling. "You're the best babygirl, taking care of your dad." He looked up at Julia, his grin unwavering. "She's all you, being so brave and protecting me. I could not be better protected." He straightened up, but wrapped an arm around his wife and kept his hand on her belly. "I think it's possible amor. I mean, for a place like this, so many of them probably didn't have a chance to say goodbye. That must suck, it must have an effect on them. Though, I've also heard sometimes they don't even know they've passed. "Good idea, they probably have some weird ones. Well, do they even believe in that stuff? You're just very kind, but you know I'd do just about anything for you. For you, and our girl." They crossed the hallway, and the gift shop stood right before them. It was a small minority, but a few people stayed with them at the gift shop. When they walked in, he immediately spotted the shirts. I survived the Texas ghost haunt. “Look amor, that one's for us.”

"Nope, you're right. You need to rest, we've had enough excitement today. Besides, when we get home, we can get in comfy clothes and plan the baby shower. I think we can make it work in the backyard. It looks really nice, and you won't have to travel far, so if you need to rest, our room is right upstairs. Baby names, oh man. She swore it's a short list, maybe that's why it took her so long to send. I haven't opened it yet, thought we could do that together. It's been sitting in my inbox, but knowing them, we'll probably veto half. They probably included every relative's name, and telenovela character they've ever seen. Our kid could end up with the most dramatic name of all time."

Something in her stirred at the way he was such a good sport. He always had been but as years went by it seemed to be the second thing that never changed. "Gift shop," she confirmed with a quick nod of her head. Picturing their little girl as a mini ghost buster made her smile. Tiny hands handling a tiny emf meter. The laughter got the better of her as she locked eyes with her husband. "You know she'd love you too much to tease you. Though can you picture her tiny outfit?" Being so close to her she took the opportunity to steal one kiss from him and hummed. "Would it help if I said you're the sexiest scaredy cat?"

She made a face to tell him not to joke with her. "Being serious? Better put up when we get home. We can skip the gift shop and go right now." Juju was kidding, slightly. The thought of going home and getting into shenanigans with her husband was tempting but so was buying their daughter a tiny shirt. The decision weighing heavily on her face as she debated.

Julia laughed thinking about baby girl and her grandpa. The more she thought about it the more she laughed. "She's going to have him wrapped around her tiny finger. If she's a soccer player I can see him taking her to the field and playing with her. He'd totally forget about you." To think that their family would have their first tiny princess to dote on excited her to no end.

Feeling Aaron's hand on her belly she smiled as their daughter's kicks started to kick up a little more. "Someone is excited to hear her daddy's voice. Hey, don't mess with her papa. She's half me." She could see their daughter being protective and brave. The two traits she'd get from both of them." Julia turned and tilted her head. "Do you think some or a lot of them still haven't found the light?" As if she was looking for ghosts her eyes shot from one corner to the next. "Think some are trapped?" The question was silly she knew that but still she couldn't help but think of souls being trapped in buildings. "We could ask Lala and Eli. See if they have any stories." She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "You're not a weenie. The award would for best hubby who goes along with most things his pregnant wife asks for."

The question about food sounded great in theory but she knew the longer she stood on her feet the worse her night might go. "I really want to say yes but I also know baby girl has had excitement today so maybe we can take it to go? Then we can start on baby names and planning our baby shower. You're still thinking about hosting it in our backyard? Your mom took longer than I expected to send her list. Have you seen it? How many are we vetoing?'

Series/webtoons if you like Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

Lovely hell

I'll start right away with the probably least known AND best of all - at least in terms of being similar to the universe of HH and HB-.

"Tanz, a powerful creature of pure evil, is vanished to Earth agaist her will. Weak and without a plan, she'll have to rely to Cain, a human, to guide her throught the world and figure a way back to her home: Hell."

First of all, it's a webtoon, so you can read it for free on Webtoon! Created by Tita (stage name Lorsupp), the story takes place in the present day. our protagonists are biblical characters (I won't give spoilers about who Tanz is. Cain, you guys must have already understood...).

This webtoon deserves much more recognition! the story is organic and well-paced, funny and tense when necessary. The characters are super charismatic and have chemistry, the Lore of Hell is super interesting and with a different approach from HH/HB. I love the character design - you can see the evolution of the author's traits as the chapters go by.

It's great to see other ways of approaching well-known characters -like the Jewish/Christian angels and demons-. A emphasis for Gabriel, ahhh this character hahah Anyway, this webtoon is the one I most recommend!

You can read it -> Webtoon account

When Instagram starts working again, I'll share the creator's account here!

Vilanius

This series - with just a few episodes left - is a Mexican animation released for Cartoon Network. Compared to HH's type of humor, here it is much more toned down, as it is aimed at a younger audience.

"Villainous is the story of Black Hat Org., run by Black Hat (whose name is synonymous with villain, a reference to the evil black-hatted cowboys of Western films) and his team of three less evil sidekicks. Black Hat is trying to sell various evil inventions created by Dr. Flug and is desperate to fulfill his evil aspirations. However, things often end badly for him, as brilliant innovations tend to have small and often comical flaws."

The lore has nothing related to the Hell, but it still focuses on the evil side of the story. I love the character designs, very similar to HH. It's worth checking out, even more Latin animation!

The Good Place

A series already consolidated and finished. One of my favorites on Netflix!

Even though it's not exactly Heaven and Hell, the concept is very similar. but what stands out here is the philosophical debate about what is right and wrong, how to be a good person in a world marked by individualism, competition and exploitation so that a person can have the basics to survive? -neoliberalism cough cough-.

"Eleanor Shellstrop wakes up to discover that she has died and entered the afterlife. But when she is told by her mentor Michael that she is in the "Good Place" because of her good deeds, helping to get innocent people off death row, she realizes that a mistake has been made because the people They think she is someone else with the same name."

Question about existentialism, ethics and the meaning of life debated in a fun way! A quick comparison to Bojack Horseman, a series that I love. in The Good Place, the existentialism, life and death are treated in a much more optimistic and... beautiful way, while in Bojack it is pessimistic and heavy. the debates on human existence can have lighter conclusions - this is not a criticism of Bojack, just a different approach.

Guardians of the Mansion of Horror

This recommendation won't have a personal review because... I still need to watch it! but I saw so many people recommending it, saying that it has good LGBT+ representation that I thought it would be interesting to bring it here. If anyone has already watched it and wants to say something about it...

"Guardians of the Mansion of Horror follows friends Barney and Norma as they work at a theme park during the summer. The two take the night shift and are responsible for organizing the place while it is empty. What they didn't expect is that this fun place is actually an interdimensional portal to hell. Suddenly, several supernatural creatures appear to haunt the Earth and the two friends must join forces to stop them. To do this, they receive help from the talking dog, Pugsley."

Inside Job

Here we have the biggest injustice in the history of Netflix, the cancellation of this series! I brought it here because of their type of acidic and critical humor towards society - not that this criticism is present in HH-. An adult animation, with swear words and the same irreverent touch as HH, following the shadow side of society.

"A dysfunctional team working in a hidden government department is tasked with keeping conspiracies around the secret world. From complicated attacks to secret societies, anti-social technology genius Reagan Ridley will need to work in a place full of shapeshifting reptilians and psychic mushrooms, at the same time as she must deal with an unbalanced father, in order to achieve the dream she dreams of. promotion."

Emphasis to the animation itself and the character design. When it comes to other species, we have unique designs, they even resemble the design of demons in HH.

irreverent, intelligent and humorous. 🤌

Good Omens

It's almost a rule, if you watched Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, you also watched Good Omens!

For those who have never given the series a chance, here are some reasons to watch it now: Inspired by Neil Gaiman's work - and approved by him! -!. It is focused entirely on this universe of Jewish/Christian characters - and it is possible to see how well they are studied! There are references that only those who have studied demology or the sacred writings of these religions will understand-

The first season has a wonderful rhythm with captivating characters - the second lacks this a little. The angel and devil couple are super charismatic and you root for them.

Watching some of the biblical events from the point of view of the questioning and sinister demon Crowley and the good lamb Aziraphale is wonderful!

[moonspirit]

Now that u have answered Annie’s sister in law, we need Armins siblings in law (so Pieck and Reiner)

Maldonado as a side note Annie is Pieck’s younger sister, but she is also Reiner’s older brother. Idk why but that’s just how it is based on dynamics.

Hi anon!

Hahah xD Oh Reiner and Pieck.

Tbh post-canon I really enjoy thinking about these two sets of relationships: Jean-Annie-Connie and Pieck-Armin-Reiner. Each half of Aruani sandwiched between two people from the side opposite to which they once belonged.

Anyway. I said it in some set of tags recently, but I love the potential of the bond Reiner and Armin could share post-rumbling. They're both similar in the respect that they have some self-hatred (though the root-causes are a bit different). This self-hatred, if shared, is something they'd understand. Reiner fought the very essence of life (the hallucinogenia) to help humanity live despite yearning for death himself. After the battle, his mental health is a goner; the guilt of everything that happened right from his birth to the present is extremely heavy to bear alone. If he was at rock bottom before, well now he's below any visible surface lol. Armin isn't too different from him then; he's just as shattered, guilt-ridden and debating his right to exist - but the hope that's inside him is a very, very hard thing to kill. It's because of that hope that the battle could end at all, and even if Eren's death and the loss of much of humanity is a planet-sized sin for him to carry, he's still hopeful, he's still a dreamer, he still sees the beauty in life.

Armin has the potential to lead the way in both his and Reiner's paths to healing. And Reiner, ever the protective big brother, will be unable to hide his genuine care and concern for Armin's well being and safety throughout their political work. The two go on long walks, hands in their pockets, talking about the past and future and everything in between; they play plenty of chess; they pore over maps of the remaining world; they rely on each other to pick the other up when the bouts of guilt overwhelm them.

Pieck now, is very very interesting. Not only is she the sole outsider in the Ambassador group, but she's also the one person who carries no good memories nor much empathy for Eren. She's every bit grounded in reality as Armin cannot help but dream. Initially, I think she'd find Armin's optimism and hope quite naive and delusional; after all she's always been aware of the cruel truth of their existence and the Eldian race's place in the world. Moreover, Armin's bond with Eren puzzles her - she can see that Armin is not a bad person; far from it in fact, he's reasonable, empathetic, careful and strategic. How could it ever have been possible that someone like him and Eren used to be inseparable friends? Over time though as Armin confides in her more about his and Eren's friendship, she learns to appreciate the bittersweetness of two boys who were each the other side of the very same coin.

Pieck and Armin, I hc, share a love for music and gadgets. They are both incredibly smart and this makes it very easy for them to fall into place as a very strong political team. They plan, they strategize, they discuss methods and tools and issues in their way. Armin values Pieck's level-headed approach to viewing and solving problems, while she appreciates his innovative ideas, tact, and careful consideration in minimizing damage. They enjoy conversations, they buy each other music records to play on the gramophone, and while Pieck helps Armin see the things he misses when he's lost in dreams, Armin helps Pieck feel welcome and like family, in their gang of six.

(Bonus: Reiner's always prattling on to Armin about how he's so glad his "little sister Annie" is happy with Armin, while Pieck annoys him to no end by never missing a chance to point out what an adorable simp he is lmao)

WWDITS RANT <3

Ok i just finished watching the WWDITS season finale and It made me laugh so much but also some of it was shitty and i feel like sharing to the class.

So most insane things first I have no idea why Guillermo decided not to be a vampire. It is even explicitly shown how great he feels after drinking human blood like he is ready??? and then suddenly its like a switch flipped and he has a problem killing a human. He has never really gave a shit about that for FIVE FUCKING SEASONS. He is even like yeah i know i dismembered a shitton of body and lured people to their deaths and killed a shitton of vampires (who tbh he can definitely empathize with like humans as he has been involved with them for years) (OVER 10 YEARS) but i cant suck this guys throat owo. Like he has devoted his entire life to this for a decade and all of a sudden he backs out? I'm not saying this isn't just weird bad writing but the lamp nandor pulled out was the big one which he knows has no wishes left. I think its possible either nandor wished that Guillermo wanted to be human OR Guillermo purposely got himself turned back into a human so Nandor could be the one to turn him. Like he had everything set up with the necromancer to undead Derick pretty quickly...... idk im just saying. Also It feels like nothing has changed. I wish Nandor would have helped him with dericks body or something. Just to show that Guillermo is accepted a little more. I know you guys will debate me on this but its the little things like that that make you really feel part of the group. Lazlo came in clutch as always though I love him so much he really is one of my comfort characters of all time. (I even think that if my theory ends up being the case that Lazlo knew about Guillermo's plan cause that would definitely go along with the theme of Lazlo and Guillermo hiding stuff from the others throughout the season) But yea. Weird ending with Guillermo and im gonna be PISSED if there isnt a seriously good explanation for that.

Next: the Guide... Yea WHAT THE FUCK they did her so dirty like no hahah we liked you the whole time haha. Are you for serious. are you joking with me. This could have been a HUGE chance for character growth on the vamps part. They could have realized that yea. healthy relationships need to have mutual respect and both people need to contribute. They could have brought Lazlo's journey with him becoming a bit more human this season full circle. Nandor could have realized that how he has treated Guillermo is not great. He could have been like yea no wonder he got turned by someone other than me. I have been using him to do dirty work for years and stringing him along with the promise that I would eventually turn him which even I convinced myself was true in order to keep things just as how theve always been. I wont kill him because he means more to me than a stupid vampire rule that im only doing because its what is always done. (Like Nandor realized he didn't want to kill Guillermo after a second of seriously thinking about it.) Guillermo could have let him out of that cage and they could have hugged and figured out what to do like the fucking found family they are damn it.

NADJA ......... nadja's whole thing this season was the fact that she treats people like shit and is pretty selfish and she didnt even have a moment where she actually showed change. IM SICK IM DYING IM THROWING UP IN THE STREET.

I realize that them liking the guide the whole time is a funny joke but guys. was it worth it. was it fucking worth it...

For the things I liked lol I really liked Lazlo he is allways slaying his fits were spectacular his matching hair with Nadja is incredible He is a real friend to Guillermo and everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious.

Im glad the guide got some kind of revenge she deserves it I love her.

Guillermo hiding out in the motel was funny and i love how everyone visited him individually.

Guillermo being really happy after turing into a bat and getting his fangs was also really cute

Also "this meat has kissed the grill" i started crying i have no idea why this was so funny to me

Nandor stalking the fucking panera bread and setting up a whole fake ritual for Guillermo 10/10

also final round of applause for Nadja and Lazlos hair and outfits this season. I wish i were them.

anyways funny vampire show heheeh i wont get too upset about it and i wont make a conspiracy about how they wrote it bad on purpose because I cant cope with reality *cough* good omens fans *cough* SORRY but guys... guys... its not 2017 wake up please we dont need another TJLC please I have to say somthing.

love you all touch grass <3

comment 💥if you read all of this shit i want to know

[eirasummersart]

So I said I would offer you some of my ocs for possible ships and here I am... (haven't found sexualities on the bios so bare with me if I mess up)

For Dillon I wanted to offer Erena or Eve mainly cause Erena could go on fun adventures with him and would know well with is boundaries and Eve... is very smart and still wants to learn lots about humans...

For Dalia... either Kome or Mellow Mellow is also more art focused and gets kinda nervous around cute girls, he would be interested... while Kome has lots of stories to tell and has a love for literature which could be a nice combo.

For Domas... Carol could guide him in a better direction while giving him a good fill of praise, she is also stressed a lot so extra help be fine. Gilly might find him more entertaining than annoying... might also be pointing him in a better direction to help others

Akshaya... most of my "Strong people" might be old but... Zariyah might be a good pick... she wants to be a hero and keep people safe... and she is very patient with people so...

Lastly for Szilárd is really hard but... Dragiselle could be maybe an option.... Flynn maybe too... thoughts behind this is moreso that they are moreso been through hardships and know to deal with similar problems... and Flynn can match some drama... but this ideas are more loose

Hope you liked my little talk maybe something comes out of this.^^

Hello!! Thanks for this ask~ ❤

It's fun to find good interactions between OCs, so let's hope we can get something out of these 👀 And sorry it took me a while to get to it, I've been busy and tired lately, and I wanted to take a proper look to these and make sure I got it all right! It's long, so continues under the cut~

Also, about the sexualities, I don't have that in their info posts, my bad. I have talked about them in the past but I understand that would be hard to find just looking at the basic infos for them! A fast list would be: Dillon: some sort of demi-bi (it's hard for me to grasp his XD), Dalia, Domas, Oriol: bi, Yuuki: Ace, Szi: Gay (can be lesbian if I genderbend, I don't mind doing that, but always has to be the same gender as Szi), and Akshaya not sure 🤔 I'd go with demi-bi too.

Anyway, now for the actual answers!

Dillon: I think both could have good dynamics with him, for sure. But with Eve it might be more of a friendship 🤔 But Erena would definitely get along a lot with him. They have a bunch of similarities (actually, Luffy was one of my inspirations behind Dillon hahah just little things). Also, he's GREAT at swimming, so he could help her out if she ever had problems with that~ Idk, just the picture of them going to adventures together seems quite cute and fun 😌💕

Dalia: For her, I think the two you said could work. With Kome they'd have lots of fun playing chess or other board games (Dalia really likes games that you play with logic and strategy). They could also debate or Kome could tell her about her stories. Also, just in aesthetic, I think their colour palettes would look nice together 💕 And with Mellow, if he's all nervous and shy with girls, he'd have lots of fun teasing him. And she'd find him adorable hahah But they could also bond over art and, aside from her teasing, she'd be really nice and gentle with him, so maybe he'd feel more at ease/less insecure around her afte a while?

Domas: For Domas, I am leaning more towards Carol, to be fair. Gilly is cute and they seem like a fun combo for Domas haha But Carol being much more down to earth seems like a better fit for him, so it doesn't end in full chaos xD Also, Carol's motherly vibe can go along well with his want to help people too, so they'd get along. But she'll need… A LOT of patience xDD Also, the pixelated food part made me laugh, since he's a great cook. Maybe he can help her cook more… nice looking food? xD OH, and the part where she gets flustered and shy easily, Domas is all sweet and gentlemanly, so he might make her blush a lot, which would be cute 🤭 (Also, apparently Domas has a thing for people with glasses, it seems /hj)

Akshaya: Aww, Zariyah seems super cute and nice, I like her. If she goes on about wanting to be strong to help other and/or to be a hero, Akshaya would definitely like her and want to be her friend. If she's all friendly open, she'd make Akshaya blush for sure too, but she'd like it. I guess it turning to ship would depend on how the situation goes from that point 🤔 it could also end in platonic, but I can see some ship potential!

Szilárd: First about this, don't worry, Szi is a complicated guy and it's hard for me to think of relations and frienships for him sometimes too hahah So I get it. Now, for the options you gave me, I'd say I don't see Flynn as much with him 🤔 I'm not sure how I'd approach the relationshi, Szi is just so mean, he'd just scorn him I think hahahaha I'm sorry, Flynn, it's not you, it's Szi being an asshole XDDD But with Dragiselle I can see it more! Well, in this case I'd go with fem!Szi from what I told you earlier. But she's all strong and cool. Maybe they could clash a bit at first (again, Szi's fault for being like he is XD), but I can see Szi seeing the good parts she has, her strong magic, her dedication and all, and wanting to be closer. Also, both have had isolated childhoods (for different reasons), so they can also find a common ground with that~ And since they're both "arts inclined" they might be able to bond over that as well. Idk, she's pretty too(?) that's a plus hahah

Ok, I think that's all I can comment on rn, until I hear your side of this C: Let me know what you think from this too, if any you like more in particular! :D

And of course it was fun to think all of this and try and figure out relationships <3 Thanks for the initial hard work at looking at possible maches too~

I hope you didn't mind my long answer either hahah

[hyohaehyuk]

i noticed that somethings got cut from the original yt stream related to them drinking sake so watch this yt video after taka appears but in case eventually it gets deleted i also uploaded the parts that are missing (Part 1 / Part 2)

Some "Takeru Sugar and yt live" and "Miura Shohei & Shirota Yu & Takeru Satoh & Takahiro Moriuchi youtube live" transcriptions

Takeru's youtube delivery is lagging. it's so interesting to watch the delay between Sugar and the youtube live hahah

Sugar comment: Your new haircut looks good! Yu: Who's? Yours? Tkr: Dunno, I didn't cut my hair. Yu: I did but I guess they asked you 😂

Yuu in the stream/sugar before Shohei's stream, seeing Tkr wearing a ring in his right ring finger, asked him 'have you got married?' 🤣🤣🤣

Also when Tkr was showing A's new sweatshirt, Yuu went, 'like i always said, why don't you make XXL one?' poor son 🤣🤣

about abyts new clothes Yu: Do you wear the pink?? Tkr: Yes Yu: Eeeh?? Tkr: Pink is the cutest Yu: Really? I haven't seen you wearing pink Tkr: There's still a side of me you don't know

They finished sugar because Shohei's live is starting… Yu: Ahh I should have gone to the toilet! Tkr: Stop joking around! Yu: No, really. Tkr: I haven't seen anybody going to toilet on a youtube live!

NOW WE'RE WATCHING TKR WAITING FOR YU IN FRONT OF THE TOILET WHILE SHOHEI STARTED THE LIVE 🤣🤣🤣 I rewatched it and he was even considering going after Yuu INSIDE the toilet with the camera omg 😂😂

Tkr now LINE-ing with his sister, while they're talking about how they're haven't seen Tkr wearing pink, only black turtleneck, with black pants, coat and so on 😂

Tkr's lil sis suggested the hashtag for the show and Shohei approved it 🤣 #三浦屋の翔へいへ～い

Tkr is still discussing the hashtag with his sis 🤣🤣

-Are we finished talking about Tkr's sister? -We're not. -What's your age gap? -4 years. (is what I heard?)

Yuu: Do you get along with your sis? Tkr: No Yuu: You said that but there's no way you don't get along with her if you're talking with her now Tkr: She's just giving orders (abt the hashtag)

-Did we meet her? -No

-Does your mother and sister comes to your place? -Nope -Then.. I'll come along with you when you go visiting them. -Why? -To meet your sister. -…Please stop. 😂

it's interesting to watch them trace the start of the friendship~~ Tkr recognized Yuu (and Shohei i think?) from ikemen magz at that time, when there were lots of magz with Yuu on cover, also at that time there were ikemen hype, like IkePara, and TeniPuri stageplay (or musical i forgot 🙈), and Yuu was one of the most popular 😂

While Yuu don't really change since then, Tkr becomes more shou-ene (has little energy) time after time 😂 But actually, when they first met, Tkr adjusted to Yuu's mood at that time. So maybe since they got along, Tkr can be himself more 🥺

Yu, Shohei: Q. Between the three of you who is the most handsome character? Tkr: Eeh? Yu, Shohei: Should we tell at three? Tkr: handsome character… both points at Takeru Tkr: Well, me. 😂 Tkr: I don't get the meaning of "handsome character"

From the countless games Tkr did with Yuu, the one Yuu thinks he can win against him is magical banana 🤣

Magical Youtube!

youtube - hikakin - neko - kawaii

Y: Eh was that one valid (kawaii)? T: oi you gotta be kidding me!

And the debate starts which one is valid between "neko is cute" and "plant is cute"

TAKAAAAAA ARRIVEEEEEED

Seems like Shohei didn't invite Taka??? So he didn't know that he will come??? Tkr said that Shohei might be reluctant (?) to invite these famous guys so he didn't invite Taka 🙈🙈

Taka was worried this delivery won't go right with these two (Yu, Shohei) so he decided to come to stir things up😂 He brought sushi and sake too, because they're interesting when they're drinking 😂

Bc Taka isn't invited today, he called Shohei's manager to find out where these guys at, and he came after eating sushi 🤣🤣

Taka: you know when these guys (Shohei and Yuu) started to get drunk, they will just act like children

Then Yuu confirmed their position (?) again, Taka-mama, Tkr-papa, Shohei-first son, Yuu-second son

Taka is here to support~ mama is here to help papa taking care of his first son's first livestream :)))

Taka gived tissues and Takeru tease him “Old man handing out tissues” 🤣

Taka to Shohei: WHY you wear all-white!!

Taka: How many people are watching: Staff: 90.000 people Tkr: It's better to not tell this, because he (shohei) is nervous. 😅 Shohei: Eeeh, 90.000 people are watching?? 😳😬

Taka: 90k ppl are watching these ikemens and what are you guys doing righ now!!

Seems like Yuu mistook Toru for Tegoshi once 🤣

OOR only did outdoor lives back then, so when Yuu said he also watched OOR live but indoor, Taka said that it must be Tegoshi AHAHA

Also Yuu and Teppei (CMIIW) covered a Kobukuro song together during a school fes 👀👀 Taka talking abt Yamada Shintarou

Now they're talking about marrige. They guessed it right that Shohei would be the first one to get married, and for Tkr, Shohei is THE example of a good guy (Shohei is Takeru' role model). And as expected they said that Tkr is the most complicated person when talking abt this 🤣

Yu: Taka said once that he can't be married until all the members in the band aren't married. But now that all of them are done it, he could done it anytime 😂

But one opinion is that marriage is impossible for all three of them (except Shohei who is already married) Takeru said he feels like Yu can do it too... But for them (Taka, Takeru) it's impossible 😂 (me: 👀)

Takeru said that normal/ordinary happiness is the most important thing and that he and Taka "can't find normal/ordinary happiness."

Taka uses lots of emoji Tkr doesn't use emoji at all, but he will hide his kindness somewhere in the messages (like, suddenly, 'how bout you Takapin?'). And will get very kind once they talk one-on-one.

Shohei: I’m thinking of shooting a drama and upload on youtube. With Takeru as producer, Yuu as director and me and TAKA as actor. TAKA can do it definitely.

TAKA: It’s impossible for me. I can’t even remember the lyrics to my songs

Taka getting worried abt this project,

Shohei: I have you guys with me. It'll definitely be okay.

They're talking seriously abt Yuu as the musical director, and suddenly Tkr said 'is it interesting?' with that smug face 🤣🤣

Taka is not sure whether he can sit tight during the whole musical (2 hrs ish), then he's like "but Tkr will come right? Then i'll just go with him" 🤭 But Tkr keeps asking whether it's interesting or not 🤣

Shohei to Taka (abt the musical): then just go together (with Tkr), as a husband and wife

Yuu will get very nervous when he knows Tkr is watching him XDD But that's bcos he knows that Tkr will analyze and judge things strictly, his standard is high but he will strictly tell which is good/bad. That's why Yuu is kinda reluctant to directly tell him that it's interesting

They're talking abt Tkr has the quality to be a person behind the scenes (prod/dir), but he said that it's bcos they know how to work (as actors/musicians), they should try to produce things. And yes Yuu is actually doing that, by creating a musical that he wants to create

Also Tkr said that the best condition is a person who can act AND direct, bcos he knows the feelings of the actors, so it won't be just one way from the director.

According to Taka, Tkr has almost never missed OOR's concerts 😳 And at one time, he came to their meeting, just sat there like a director, with a pen and setlist in front of him. Tkr said that someday he wants to produce OOR's con and YES i really want to see that happen 🔥🔥

And they left just like that

From this article (rough translation):

"The topic of his student days began, and Sato surprisingly confessed "I was a shy person when I was in high school, so I wasn't popular at all." ' It seemed like he couldn't hide his surprise.

When asked, "Have you ever been confessed to?", he corrected himself by saying, "I've never been confessed to by someone in high school…Oh, but that's a lie! It happened once or twice." "But I think this person was cool in high school."

When pointed at it, Miura carelessly said, ``When I was in high school, I don't know if I could use it…Oh, it's raw!'' Shirota tsked, "Wait, wait, be careful!" and made him laugh."

Modern AU Adam/Belle go to the movies date! What genre of movie do they go see (and do they have to argue about it)? What snacks do they get (if they get any)? Where do they sit in the theater? Is the movie they've chosen a mistake and do they sit through the whole thing or do they walk out?

i’m gonna link this post bc i talk about modern au adelle movies there too a Bit !

OKAY! NICE!

the thing is i think belle would pretty much wanna go see Any movie. like i don’t consider her a film buff but i think she’s like “any movie could be good!!! we have to give it a chance!!!” and since they Have the money to frequent the theater, they probably do go on a lot of movie dates. from adam’s perspective, however, he’s insanely picky about what he wants to see. nine times out of ten he has almost no interest in this random film that got poor reviews that belle has not stopped talking about since breakfast. that being said, belle is pretty good at getting her grumpy boy out of the house and out of his comfort zone, so he generally goes. (if he’s really opposed though she’ll be calling lumiere and/or plumette OR her father immediately — she’s also not against going to the movies by herself but that worries adam (because everything worries adam)).

if, however, adam HAS gone to the movie with her, yeah they’re 100% arguing about it. i mean it’s not always an argument, they just like to dissect everything together. it’s their love language <3 they’ll be analyzing motifs and themes and arcs and all that garbage. they often will have opposing opinions which leads to fun debates, but sometimes they both loved it and are just praising it all the way home! (or both hated it and are ranting lmao)

SNACKS !!! belle’s a classic popcorn gal. she’s not much of a sweet tooth though but i could see her getting a sour candy as well. adam IS a sweet tooth and definitely gets a couple candies, leaning more toward chocolate ones like m&m’s and junior mints. next time i go to the theater i’ll try to figure out what his go-to would be, because his autistic ass would definitely get the exact same thing every time hahah. aaand they prob get one water to share, belle may get a soda or something too if she’s feeling crazy (adam tells her not to because then she’ll have to pee in the middle and he’ll have to explain everything to catch her up and he doesn’t want to do that) (she will still order the soda and pee later and ask adam to explain what she missed) (adam will still explain it) (they have a beautiful marriage)

they probably sit near the top and middle, out of habit of knowing exactly where to sit in the theatre (stage theatre) to hear the best sound.

adam often thinks these movies are a mistake, but belle is an optimist to a fault and will always give it a chance to see it through to the end. (if she ended up not liking it though, adam has a very lovely “i told you so” day)

[joonsytip]

noooooo, the yearning from dk!!!! Tsd has me feeling all sorts of things...but mostly anger towards jeonghan heheh. He's my bias but im soooo rooting for dk! Even tho hannie knows his feelings now, he still isnt compatible with reader and if they get together, i just see a lot of suffering on her end. Yes, he changed for her but he shouldn't have to change just to be good for her! He was clearly good to other women before he 'changed' and realized his feelings,he was awful and took her for granted. Two years is too much to waste just to want something back when you dont have it, especially not to the degree that hannie treated reader. He didnt lead her on yes, but reader can do better now that shes in the healing process. Hopefully reader can spend some time away and grow, advance in her career and enjoy her life. Maybe even focus on her friends and realize that maybe she had a good man around all along 🤭 im soooo rooting for dks love (silly bc it's a x jeonghan fic but still 😂) hannie ily but u dont deserve mc!!! 💞Sunshine couple dk x mc 💞 i cant wait for the next part and thank u for writing such a fic! I really like revenge fics so even tho he's my baby pls really break jeonghans heart heheh!! Also jihoon is everythinggg in the fic. I know hao is the bestie but hoonie is serving with calling jeonghan on his bs behavior and backing off when he sees reader is having a bad day 🥺 i wish seungkwan worked at that office bc he would have been going tf off!!! Hahah

Anon - who are you??? I think we need to sit together have a nice & thorough discussion about each and every character of TSD. Fun fact, though I've told it multiple times, Jeonghan and Seokmin, both are my bias, so I'm constantly debating and choosing war with myself while writing this fic!!

Thanks for bringing light on Jihoon, because he indeed is a wise and underrated character in this fic! Please keep looking forward to the next part, which I hope I'll be able to drop soon!

[reachexceedinggrasp]

Omg, thank you for replying to my ask. (*/ω＼*) Yay so excited to hear about your Lokane fic! Such a Heraklean effort! I have a similar problem with a novel-length WIP, actually near the same emotional peak and I really think it must be that last final push that's almost harder than anything else - in a way I don't want to finish mine! I had a similar rule about not starting other WIP's so I have a document where I've amassed everything I'm not writing, and that's helped me a little because it feels like I've 'done' something so I can do other stuff haha.

Regarding Solas/Lavellan: don't worry about a disappointing response, to be totally honest I was a bit worried you already didn't like it (though wanted to know what emotional chord didn't work for you), but the fact you're not familiar with it is almost kind of better!! It's one of those pairings for me that manages to hit the epic romance notes and actually consummate the romance and then affirm the narrative importance, which is already pretty hard to do with a video game (and often times I'm left disappointed by pairings grounded primarily in potential). I can't really reveal too much about Solas because learning about him is the journey but if you like your trickster god/vulnerability/concealed pain/the dinan'shiral (the Journey of Death) that love endures against etc. it's all there. A non-spoilery detail I like about him is that sometimes when he talks he speaks in iambic pentametre or the musical notes of Hallelujah, so there's a poeticism to him and subtlety to his character execution that I just love.

I think the only drawback to Solas/Lavellan is that because it's a game it's more of a time investment and you also need the Trespasser DLC for full effect, but honestly you can watch it on YouTube lol. There's a lot of lore that enhances the pairing as well. I don't think you need to really play the first two games to 'get it', but I generally enjoy Bioware games and I think they're both fun experiences. The Solas/Lavellan romance also doesn't have an awkwardly animated sex scene, if that puts you off like it does me, though it's not entirely lacking eroticism.

wank magnet tragic murder boy

I love this thank you hahahaha.

If you ever get around to playing Dragon Age or watching the romance on YouTube, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it, though my curiosity is now successfully sated! Thank you! (Hopefully my ask doesn't come off as pressuring you to get into it... mostly I'm just surprised/happy you didn't know much about it hahah!)

Also, as one final departing remark, yes, I'm actually the same regarding genuinely Nice Guy/Ingenue/Bad Boy, but I don't really gravitate towards that dynamic because it can come off as a bit superficial to me and I cannot STANDDDD love triangles unless it was only ever a matter of who she 'should' be with versus whom she really wants, it has to be true love soulmatism or I cry!!!

Hope you have a lovely day and good luck with fic writing!

Yeah, I pretty much know some memes about Solas and that he apparently betrays the PC somehow. And people debate his motives and level of sincerity a lot. But I know so little about the plot that I've forgotten most of the details I ever came across. Poetry is a selling point! but I really can't say whether I will vibe with the ship or not based on what I know. The sad murder boy really has to hit a specific way for me.

Yes, exactly! I feel exactly the same way about love triangles. I talked about this before, but I hate them unless they're the forgone conclusion kind where it's not about who she actually loves (because this is never in doubt), it's about whether she's going to choose love over pragmatism or whether true love will conquer outside circumstances, etc. I think it was in my first ramble about Fated to Love You, which is a great example. All three characters know Mi Young is in love with Gun, the tension is always about whether they will overcome both the internal and external obstacles separating them and take the risk for true love or if she'll settle for playing it safe in a platonic pseudo-relationship with Daniel where her heart can't be broken.

If there's genuinely romantic feelings for more than one person and the middle point is not just in denial about where their heart lies, I'm out lol.

Ditto! ;)

@geniusdonkey

"Hahaha yeah! I'm sure that would be a great idea!" Tadano said as he listened his friend that he would definetly take in those recommendations about adding a small place for visitors to stay after the thermal waters and to have some snacks. "Oh gosh! Really? I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Hahah! Well, to be honest in my world I doubt that even exists... to be honest, my world is filled with people like me, not humans like Mario or Luigi, so there are no zoos." the donkey explained. "And I'm pretty sure there are more monkeys there too!" he added.

As DK scooted closer to him and asked about a girlfriend, Tadano took a hand to his head to rub it and look away, a bit nervously.

"Eh- no... actually... I don't have any... ... sadly..." Tadano replied. "The last time I fell in love with a girl I liked a lot... I had a lot of chemistry with her and we both really had a great time but... ... she wanted things I didn't and... she cut our relationship... in a really awful way... She...-" he paused and sighed. "She really broke my heart..." Tadano said, trying to not let it get to him again.

"... And you, my friend?" Tadano asked, forcing a smile at him.

--------

"Really?" He shoots a semi-interested look towards the donkey, wondering just how a world with no humans worked...well, aside from his own. "I mean, not like it was all bad. I got free food thrown in my face." With a snort, he shifted to nudging his bathing buddy, bothering him to spill some tea.

"Uh?" Processing the other's admission quietly, DK rubbed the back of his head after a moment of silent debate. "Yeesh...sounds like she didn't know a good thing when she had it." He sees the sad look in the donkey's eyes and gives his shoulder a friendly, light punch. "C'mon. No sad faces in the hot tub!" Though the question has him pausing and making a face of his own. "Well, uh..." Scooting in to Tadano's side like the donkey is his own personal conformant , DK plays with the bubbling water in front of him with a few aimless slaps. "...I'm uh. Betrothed. But we don't do too much together. I mean...no effort needed, right?"

[1d1195]

You’re so kind omg 😭💗thank you😭

I never wanted to undermine your own hair growth! Like you’re like the first person who has mentioned their hair grows fast bc I can never find people like that! Like I don’t do anything really to my hair, it’s just the thick hair Mexican genes hahah but I was also devastated when I found a brand that worked with my hair and they DISCONTINUED THE PRODUCT 😭 also it’s always a bit exciting to get a hair cut! Hope it goes well bestie! and the peel off base coat gives me the satisfaction of picking/peeling it off so maybe it could help?? Idk lol

The shoutouts at shows are always the best! I don’t blame you! plus Niall probably made it seem so genuine because he’s seems so sweet! And idk I think it gives off an intimate vibe since he’s connecting with the crowd! I remember when Paramore talked about my city and I was getting EMOTIONAL during it?! Also what’s your fave Niall song? Was it played?

And not your sister calling you out 💀 she kinda gagged me with that one omg lol but I’m sure you would have thrived as a violin player, you kinda give off the vibes and I mean it in a good way!

First of all, I LOVE WHEN YOU RANT!! Seriously I love when you do it! And I’ve tired to give audiobooks a chance especially since sometimes they are the cheaper option but I personally always gravitate towards getting a physical copy of a book. And I’ve also thought about getting a kindle but I fear I will just end up forgetting it since i read on my phone too lol also a really big thing that just grosses me out is ASMR so people’s voices on the audio recordings are typically not my vibe so it just ruins the vision for me 😭

Okay so I’ve never actually read any of the books and I thought it was actually just one book and movie! instead it’s actually of a full on series(13 books in total). So I’ve seen the movie before years ago but it didn’t really make me want to get into it more but the tv show is so good! It follows an older troubled journalist who is revisiting his original interview with the vampire called Louis. And basically they recount his human life and vampire over in story along with some other characters that play a big role. It also depicts queer love stories which I think is pretty neat! I also really enjoy the complexity of the characters and how they are all basically up for debate on who is “good” or “bad”! And I love watching the season in real time it’s so fun! I’ve actually heard good things about the book and I was actually recommended by a professor to give the series a try awhile ago! Though I’m thinking about buying the books second hand since there’s alot of them lol

Typically I have always been a book over movie girly! But I think it depends on the book if I read it before I watch an adaptation. For example, reading like classical stuff like Shakespeare or other classic lit, I think watching something is really helpful especially for me growing up sometimes the language barrier was a bit difficult. Like I love the Great Gatsby and I watched Baz Luhrman’s adaptation first and then I read the book. And I really enjoyed comparing what they kept/changed as well as how they envisioned! Also his adaptation of Romeo and Juliet was super cool to watch! But it could go wrong sometimes like I read My Policeman WAYYYY before it was even considered to be a movie adaptation and while I have many thoughts about it lol I genuinely preferred the book and I often felt like it kinda ruined the vibe a bit. So overall I think it depends! And you’re not dumb lol sometimes I think it can be a bit overhyped but I understand the creative aspect of writing those kind of things especially back then lol my Aquarius self loves to find meaning in anything and analyze things but when it comes to reading unless I need to do that for school, I’m not really doing much thinking while reading lol I like to feel immersed in the world/story!

I hope to stay pretty calm during the summer tbh I’m very much okay with doing nothing lol I am looking forward to going to the beach though now that I have more time! -💜

Omg don't worry! I can't believe how fast your hair grows and how long it gets! I feel like that always happens when I find a product I like! My hair is so much shorter now and feels light and summery (I do like it) but it's in that 'just cut' phase and I'm looking forward to next week 😅 I'm def going to look into peel off base lol it'll be good for my mental health 😂

OMG MY FAVORITE NIALL SONG. Well, I think it's basic but I love This Town. I'm a romantic/sad kind of music vibe on a regular day tbh 😂 I really envision a story when I hear music (or at least try to) and that is one where I just see Niall's entire love life on display, idk. I think I even wrote a trash piece about it when the song came out. He did play this one! I also love On My Own. I think it's an adorable and I like the lyric "I'll wake up at midday and marry my bed." He didn't play it but that's okay! He also played Black and White and Night Changes so I can't complain at all! It was a lovely show 💕

No my sister humbles me every day lol. But truly, I think she really is right! I don't do anything half-assed. If we wanna trauma dump for like two seconds, my family's picture is in the textbook next to addictive personalities. I think the only reason I haven't chosen stronger vices is because of One Direction/Harry/Niall taking up so much of my time. I enjoy most things in my life very passionately and I can't see myself taking up an instrument and not wanting/trying to be the very best at it until I'm literally SICK with anxiety. I have many good qualities, but moderation and allowing myself to make mistakes is really difficult for me lol so maybe in another life I would trade out one of my hobbies for an instrument, but in this one it's for the best I stuck to singing!

Thank you for letting me rant! I appreciate it! Do you have the kindle app on your phone? I get the forgetting it thing, that makes a lot of sense. My kindle app on my phone is just like 90% textbooks from grad school because I was tired of getting the physical heavy ones for a semester LOL. I like the way people decorate kindle's 😂 so I feel like that would be a fun little project for me and probs a huge part of why I would want it hahahahaha

WHAT COMMITTMENT 13 BOOKS GOOD LUCK. That's a really cool premise though! It sounds super entertaining and interesting. I often forget that we've got a bit of an age gap between us. I am SO used to watching TV series doing an episode a week. I actually prefer it that way. It's only with shows that originally dump a whole season out that I get mad when they do a two-part season (don't get me started on Bridgerton or Stranger Things. I'm THIS CLOSE to getting rid of streaming services all together). I am unfortunately chronically on TikTok so I don't like when my shows are spoiled because the whole season dumps out in one sitting so that's why like the weekly episode route hehehehehe ANYWAY I hope the show continues to keep your interest and the books hold up!

I'm def a book > movie girl too! I like the way you described it though. It took me like four years of high school English for my 12th grade english teacher to finally say "Sam, Shakespeare is meant to be performed. Of course it's difficult to read" and I was like 😯😯 So shout out to Ms. O. because I would have gone my whole life hating Shakespeare. If it's not too personal, can I ask a bit about how you dealt with the language barrier? Like did you start going to school without speaking English or very little English? I can't imagine what that was like and I think that's AMAZING that you learned a whole language and survived school etc etc. I suck at languages and am ensuring that when I do have children, quite frankly, they're being forced to learn a second language when they're young because I wish I had done that.

I love that you find meaning in most things! That makes a lot of sense for your choice of field too! :) I appreciate your kindness and I wish we could have taken a class together because I would have picked your brain for help with everything regarding symbolism.

I am hoping to hit the beach soon! I need to buy a new beach chair first hehehehe I also need to get my butt in gear and read a book. I'm thinking I might read yet ANOTHER silly romance and not this book on Norse Mythology that I have sitting in my bag taunting me.

Any fun plans this weekend?! LOVE YOU! 💕

[lazitoelgato]

🦊/🐟/☀️-💐/🥝/🌽/💕/🎟️/🏐

OMG anon that's a lot hahah

Let's see ...

🦊 What is your worst habit?

I have many bad/unhealthy habits but I think the worst is that I am a people pleasant, I put people above me and it is very difficult to stop doing it, it is even scary, it sounds strange but within being a people pleasant there is a great feeling of control and security, when I don't do that I feel afraid of the unknown

🐟What is you best habit?

Oh, this is harder....I genuinely don't know, I don't have very good habits, I'm a bit of a mess, I can't be left alone hehe

☀️ What is your favorite season?

FALL!!!!!! I LOVE FALL!!! THE BROWN COLORS, THE FOOD, THE HARVESTS URGHHHHGG 🌰🍁🍂🥮

It is also an important season for paganism!!!

💐What is your favorite flower?

My favorite flower is Jasmine, my grandma had large jasmine plants on the farm where I grew up and the smell of it is like returning to that safe place.

🥝 What is your favorite fruit

Kiwi itself 🥝

🌽What is your favorite vegetable

Well I like almost all vegetables, I would say tomatoes are my favorite but a while ago I saw people debating whether they were fruit or vegetables, so I'm going to say pumpkin 🎃

💕Tell something about your favorite person

OKAY, She went through many horrible things and still was able to take care of me when it was not her responsibility, I am talking about my grandma who has a heart so big that it does not fit in her chest, I love her very much, you have no idea <3

🎫 Where would you take someone put on a date? (Must not be romantic)

To a place far from civilization, I am a country boy and I like to teach people to see the beauty of nature, so to any forest or mountain, we could bathe in a river and spend the afternoon there :))

🏐 Do you do any sport?

Get ready.

I've played soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball and hockey (obviously not on ice) then I have practiced Taekwondo, flamenco, rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, zumba, force throwing, to this day the only sport that I practice is trying to stay alive (I have some little problems with sports that require lung capacity tho )

[royal1asset-if]

Other ROs reaction to MC and their chosen RO caught making out? (For the sake of simplicity, let's just pair MC with Luna here lol)

Hahah I like how you think anon.

Me and everyone started making our way to the meeting room.

Me: Allright everybody, I got an ask but I think this impossible to achieve, but let's give it our all anyways.(Waving the paper ask in the air)

Serena: What's the ask anyway? (Trying to get the paper in my hand)

Me: Nope Serena, you know the rule, the ask will be announced until we reach the ask room.( Distancing the paper way from her)

Serena: Uggghh, sometimes Author your a pain in the ass!( Pouting)

Me: Thanks it's one of my best trait!( Grinning at Serena)

Amelia: Hey have you guys seen Luna?( Getting worried)

Elric: She's fine, probably went ahead in the ask room and brooding there( Waving his hand in the air)

Me and the gang arrived at the door of the of the ask room, I put my hand on the knob and pushed it open.

Me: Alright guys settle down and grabbed a cha- SWEET MOTHER OF MOTHER MIRANDA!( Dropping the ask paper on the ground)

Serena: What is it l, move aside author, Ohhhhh kinky.( Licking her lips)

Amelia: What's happening, OH MY GAD I KNEW IT( Jumping up and down in the air)

Dustin: WOAH! 😳 ( Eyes bulging out 👀👀👀)

Conrad: Meh,! 😑 I seen better( Shrugging his shoulders)

Elric: Hahaha, Conrad everyday with you, is full of surprises ( Laughing hard)

Me and everyone is 😲😲😲, inside we see Luna and MC making out.

Me: How could this be, I have underestimated the power of the ask( Trying to find my balance)

Serena: Alrighty time for the big reveal( Picking up the paper on the ground)

Serena: This is, this right on point!( Rereading the paper and passing it to Elric)

Elric: WOW!( Shocked)

Luna and MC stopped making out and MC is standing up and giving Luna a kiss on the forehead.

MC: See ya later moonpie( Winking at Luna)

Luna: I'm expecting that promise!( Grinning at MC)

Me and everyone watched MC's every movement, watching them leave the room, then we set our attention back to Luna.

Luna: What?( Acting like nothing happened)

Me: Why didn't you tell us?( Raising my eyebrow)

Luna: You didn't ask!( Crossing her arms)

Serena: Hahahah, I knew something fishy was going on the night that you and MC met on the palace garden( Laughing like a maniac)

Everyone: WHAT!( Our voice shouts in unison)

Luna: You followed me?( Looking at Serena with burning fury)

Elric: I can't handle this right now, I'm leaving( Putting his hands on his head)

We watch Elric moved across the room and saw him sitting down on the chair.

Conrad: I thought you were leaving?( Expecting for Elric to really leave)

Elric: ARE YOU FACKING CRAZY AND MISS TOO SEE THIS DRAMA OF A LIFETIME, NO WAY HOZAY( Watching Luna and Serena intently)

Serena: 1. It looks very suspicious, 2. I like to snoop on things. and 3. I do say Luna, I never knew that you were hiding some skills( Smirking at Luna)

Luna: I don't know what you're talking about( Blushing a little and crossing her arms)

Amelia: Why, did something happened that Luna resorted to use her assassin skills( Ask innocently)

Serena: You can say that, but that night, I see 3 full moons( Smirking at Amelia)

Conrad: That's impossible( Preparing himself for a debate)

Elric: Conrad, come here(Leaning close to Conrad's ear) What Serena means by that is(inaudible sounds).

Conrad: I see( Note: Must learn more innuendo remarks and suggestion)

Amelia: That's not fair, you told Conrad( Pointing at Conrad, fuming)

Dustin: Amelia, I suggest you don't go down this path, is for your own good(Putting his hand atop Amelia's shoulder)

Amelia: Hmppmp( Pouting again)

Me: Alright, were getting sidetracked here and you, Conrad one of this days me and you are gonna have a talk on what you have seeing better this days.( Grinning at Conrad)

Luna: I agree, what is the ask so we can be done with this, because me and MC has a schedule to uphold( Looking impatient)

I gave Luna the ask paper, upon receiving it Luna's eyes widened in shock.

Serena: Crazy right, Looney?( Bumping Luna's elbow with her own)

Luna: How can this be?, this is supposed to be confidential, YOU!( Looking at me)

Me: Now now, Luna, I have nothing to do with this( I'm smirking deep inside, knowing who is really responsible)

Me: Now, you have seen with your own eyes, is time to cast your judgement on Luna.( Pointing at Luna)

Amelia: I think it's very cute and romantic and besides everyone deserves true love( Hugging Luna)

Dustin: Yes, I too agree with Amelia's assessment( Giving Luna a thumbs'up)

Serena: I say that is very spicy and hot, congrats Luna, you have exceeded my expectations( Winking at Luna)

Conrad: Needs some work!( He says casually)

Luna: Really? Me( Crossing her arms and raising her eyebrow at Conrad.)

Elric: Me, I liked the chemistry and especially the drama( Finger gunning Luna)

Me: Me too am surprised, but that just proves the saying that love do conquers all.( shaking my head in disbelief)

Me: Looks that's all folks see ya on the next ask( Ending broadcast)

[therealtsk]

tsk i’m DYING to hear your play-by-play on which worm characters have dumb fanon interpretations

UH OH YOU JUST OPENED THE FLOODGATES so the short answer is pretty much every major character but I am a high-effort bitch so let's do this: Taylor Hebert: jfc, I could probably hit a word count limit talking about Taylor alone. First you have the dumb as shit TINO (Taylor In Name Only) phenomenon where people just straight up SI as Taylor but pretend it's her and she's basically a different person wearing Taylor's skin like an ill-fitting suit. Then there's the Memetic Escalator Taylor interpretation where Taylor's Warlord era characterization is flanderized so hard that she turns into her world's version of Doomguy where her response to literally everything is ultra violence, mutilation and torture and she can totally beat up anyone you guys hahah coin sock goes brrrrr you go brutalize those totally deserving victims queen. And then there's shy, stuttering, soft spoken "useless lesbian" Taylor which is not as common but still, fuckin straight men and the way they infantize gay women. Taylor is perhaps the most consistently inconsistent characterization I've seen in fandom, it's fucking wild Lisa Wilbourn: Has two fanon settings. Taylor's best friend who exists solely to give exposition and get the "Stop Coil" subplot rolling (occasional gay subtext will be added in a way that feels fetishy) Or, the evil bitchy blonde who is first target of the SI. I constantly wonder if the people who write the frankly masturbatory SI's are aware that we can tell they're still bitter about girls not dating them in highschool. Brian: basically does not exist in fic aside from the occasional joke cause racism and also because of how popular wlw ships are in Worm fandom. you deserve better dude Alec: has a few token appearances in wormfic fandom that usually have him as the comic relief alongside Aisha, which might actually be for the best considering he's a rapist and the Worm fandom's uhhhh tendencies. Moving on- Aisha: prankster girl that alt!Taylor will adopt as a younger sibling. hopefully is not part of the totally-not-a-harem considering she's even younger then the rest of these teens Bitch: Another girl to fall into alt!Taylor's definitely-not-a-harem, but with more butch tendencies. Basically has no personality in fanon outside of her dogs Parian: SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SHOP FFS also another member of Taylor's totally-not-a-harem Flechette: yeah it's a harem Sophia: holy shit you think Brian's bad? The racism in pretty much every fanon depiction of Sophia is off the charts. Hyper-violent, super edgy, "predator/prey" speech inbound, will get humilated/killed in some new, supposedly satisfying but actually just deeply uncomfortable way, probably throw in some E88 shit too just because Emma: again, do the writers know we can tell they're still malding over the fact that the pretty girls in highschool didn't date them? fanon emma is pretty much a cardboard cut out of whoever was mean to the author. something something bitches three Madison: in fanon has a C53 fetish, occasionally is also Browbeat. don't ask why Victoria: gets hit with the blonde stereotypes even harder then Lisa, "Collateral Damage Barbie" is one of the phrases that activates my flight or fight responses. she basically is an entirely different character in fanon. bubbly dumb blonde girl with a massive temper and well other sexist bullshiit Amy: I hate even touching this character with a ten foot pole but basically is hit with the "soft useless lesbian" trope hard enough to make her into a completely separate person from her canon self. whether or not this is a good thing is still up for debate Carol: in fanon, an evil bitch who exists solely to bully Amy Mark: who? The rest of New Wave: cannon fodder for Leviathan Danny Hebert: literally stale milk instead of a personality, will probably die before the fic is over but we won't care because the author did not care either Armsmaster: hahaha robotman go brrrr or is an arrogant self-aggrandizing shit, can't interact with people without Dragon helping him 24/7 Miss Militia: fanon bat'd into team mom,

idk where this came from considering her first instinct upon seeing children is to pull out a gun holy shit wait is she actually Taylor's true mom- Velocity: canon fodder for levi Battery & Assault: sitcom wife, sitcom husband! please ignore how fucked up this relationship is if you look at it for more than two seconds Dauntless: haha armsy is JEALOUS also cannon fodder for levi Triumph: who? The BB wards in general tend to be incredibly bland, the only ones who have fanon personalities of note are Clockblocker and Vista. The former being such a huge prankster that every other line is a joke- or him complaining about how BULLSHIT Alt!Taylor's powers are. Vista is an angry kiddo who says that Shadow Stalker doesn't count as being a girl on the team The E88: no personality for any of them except that Kaiser is noble and really isn't that bad and also Purity did nothing wrong totally she's just a hot mom trying to do her best, please ignore how she exclusively targets characters of color and literally calls white criminals more civilized than miniorities- the worm fandom has something of a nazi problem i hate it here The ABB: racism and honorable samurai lung even though that has no canon basis so again, racist stereotypes The Slaughterhouse 9: This one makes me just as sad as the Lisa shit because dear god this is such a good cast of villains that fanon completely flattens to bowling pins for the Alt!Taylor of the week to mow down, why does this fandom suck so much. Anyway Jack is just the Joker, Crawler is masochistic, etc i'm moving on now The PRT/Protectorate as a whole: They are an evil paramilitary organization that pressgangs kids into signing up to become child soldiers, and somehow at the same time, they are a bunch of idiots who listen to the PR department and have stupid things like RULES that prevent capes from COMMITTING VIOLENCE. Being called "the biggest gang of all" is common and some shit like "at least the criminals are honest" is a likely statement. Cauldron: whoo boy this one really boils my blood but fanon Cauldron are just a bunch of evil idiots who can't even tie their shoelaces. basically a bunch of dudebros are upset that women run the world and that two of them essentially have "I win" powers so they have to make them lose to their SI- er, Taylor in fics so they can assuage their masculinity, which totally isn't pathetic Scion: Is at once the end all be all of worm you can't write a wormfic without scion or else it's TOTALLY MEANINGLESS because what is the point of a story if all the characters are going to DIE in a few years anyway, and at the same time is incredibly easy to defeat- this ties into how Cauldron is stupid. Scion Truthers pls shut up and go read something else okay I think that's everyone I would apologize but the only thing I'm sorry for is how messy this is

masquerade ch.10

im back (fr this time)

“I always knew you were weird,” Akira muttered when they got onto the skydeck turned landing pad. He and Hisako had just graduated from their respective colleges and now they, Souma, and the Denmark Nakiris were gathered on top of the Copenhagen penthouse for some quality catching up. There was no doubt that the day would end in another round of shokugekis.

“Rude!” Alice pouted as she set down a large blanket and a few red Solo cups in the shade of Ryo’s new helicopter. “I just happened to buy my amazing husband a gift! Besides, he has a license now and having a charter plane is fun.”

“You talk as if your family doesn’t own three private jets,” Akira pointed out, pouring draft beer from a two-liter pitcher.

Alice waved this off with an annoyed flap of her hand. “Hayama, when are you and Hishoko gonna get married?”

“We’re twenty-two,” Hisako pointed out dully. “And don’t call me Hishoko.”

“I’m not, Hishoko. However, as the official matchmaker of the Nakiri Faction, I must insist that you get the hell on with it already.”

“Nakiri Faction?” Akira inquired.

“Yes! You’ve been an honorary member since you assisted my booth at the festival in first year.”

“You mean Jun’s—”

“And you and Hishoko are going to get married in like… two days, so she’s automatically a part of the faction as well now!”

Souma laughed as he took out a few boxes neatly packed with onigiri. “Yo, Arato, did you buy Hayama a helicopter yet?”

Hisako raised an eyebrow. “No,” she smiled with a teasing air. “But he bought us a company.”

The red-haired chef spat out his Lagunitas IPA. “What!?”

“Yeah, I bought Habui,” Akira said casually, as if he were talking about bargain eggs.

“Holy shit! Is that why you were on the front cover of Forbes!?”

“It’s been the only thing on the news for the last week, Yukihira,” he replied drily.

Alice added, “It was definitely a shock at first, though.”

True—it took her a full hour of staring at the magazine to properly process the fact that twirling his Phi Beta Kappa key around his finger and still wearing his graduation gown, the fresh Columbia graduate had dethroned the Sendawara sisters with a phrase that would become legend—“My nose can make better curry than your hands.” How he’d made that much bank as a college student was up to debate, but nobody questioned the fact that he was the new CEO of Habui. 

“Tokyo will be our home base,” Hisako said, staring speculatively into her cup. “I’m starting med school at Johns Hopkins in the fall but after Innlausn opens next month Akira will probably be moving back to Japan.”

Souma’s eyes widened. “Wait! I just had an idea. Why don’t you guys stay at my place in Evanston for the startup period?”

“You’re only saying that because you want us to be indebted to you so we don’t run your ass out of Illinois,” Akira scoffed.

“Cruel,” Souma retorted, feigning hurt. “I’m just being nice. Right, Arato?”

“I mean, I’ll take you up on it,” Hisako grinned, and she and Souma exchanged a fist bump. “We owe you one.”

“No, we do not! Don’t say things like that to him!”

Alice smirked at this. “Oh, yeah? You only got your Chicago floorspace because Yukihira’s journalist girlfriend pulled strings with the contractors.” She paused for a second, then whirled on Souma. “By the way, Yukihira. You’re getting pretty serious with Erina again, aren’t you? What a fuckboy. Two girls at once?”

A vein pulsed in Souma’s temple. “Oh, shut the fuck up. I’m single and Erina doesn’t like me like that anymore.”

“Baseless assumption!” Ryo bellowed.

They all laughed at this — the story of the spontaneous kiss after Origin’s opening night had circulated among the friend group and now they were placing bets as to when the former first and second seats of the Elite Ten would finally quit beating around the damn bush. Souma, who had been too embarrassed to call Erina since the debut, had chosen to aggressively not participate.

Within moments, they were all rolling up their sleeves and getting their hair out of the way to crack down on each other in a shokugeki themed “obscenely expensive”. They had just raided Alice and Ryo’s apartment-sized kitchen, making vulgar comments on how Akira had only bought Habui because he was still salty about Sendawara Natsume hitting on him during the Elections and talking general shit like they hadn’t already earned each other’s highest respect, when Hisako’s phone rang.

Everyone leaned over the doctor-restaurateur’s shoulder to see just who the hell would dare interrupt their shokugeki episode.

Incoming FaceTime call from: Nakiri Erina

Before Hisako could even answer the call, Souma dropped his knife and bolted for the door. His flight was cut short by Ryo, who grabbed his collar and yanked him backwards. “The fuck you going?”

“F-finland,” Souma squeaked, his arms and legs in frantic motion.

“Oh no you are not,” Akira snapped, shoving Souma back over to Hisako, who was greeting Erina over FT. “Take responsibility for your dumbassery.”

The blonde chef dropped her phone when Souma entered the frame. “Y-yukihira!?”

“Um… yo…? Nakiri? Sup?”

Erina was already blushing, but she managed to say, “Nothing much. You?”

Hisako passed the phone to Souma with an expression of amusement, who nervously combed his fingers through his hair and started moving around to find better lighting. “I’m uh… not doing anything either. Where you at?”

“I’m in Tokyo,” Erina said. “At dinner with—”

“Yukihira!” Asahi grinned, popping into view.

Erina looked a little disgruntled as the two proceeded to treat each other like the brothers-in-law they were probably going to be (hahah the foreshadowing). 

The rest of the Nakiri family greeted Souma and asked him if he knew where the hell Jou had disappeared to this time, and obviously Souma had no clue, but it really did seem like things would work out between the two families after all. Once it was just Erina watching him silently through the screen, Souma gave a slow smile and said, “Good seeing you again, Nakiri. I guess I’ll…”

Erina asked hesitantly, “Are you free later? Maybe around midnight my time?”

Shrugging, Souma answered, “Should be. Why?”

“N-no, it’s nothing. Never mind. Goodbye.”

“I’ll call you,” Souma offered. 

Erina’s ears turned red. “If you insist, I will pick up your call.”

“Sounds great.” Souma passed the phone back to Hisako and sat down grinning like a foolish idiot. 

Alice had been watching the whole interaction with mild amusement, and now she tapped the kitchen counter for attention, first dibs on the truffle oil long forgotten.

“So, Yukihira. You still think she doesn’t like you?”

PART 29 {Finally!! and it’s been a week of stress indeed. 😞 But thankfully things slowly gets better and better for our Mum YJ 🤗 And for the record? I just wanna say, I’MAPUPPY!😂🤣 I maybe expert on reading smuts but I do am puppy in writing. hahaha. So for you  who was left hanging from the prev. part... Better live it to your imagination guys. keke}

Gentle breeze of summer hay, daylight hues of morning skies, a serene waves of crystal seas. And of course, what’s much more perfect for Jang Taeyoung other than his living Aphrodite’s side profile. Sitting on her daybed balcony, wearing an ash gray robe, drinking her set of bottled water. ‘Fresh from a bath.’ He can tell.

“F*cking hell.” Scolding his own innuendo while she ain’t even doing anything but sit!

A resting elbow, a root of knuckles assisting a tight jaw suppressing a taste of his volatile prey once again. Shifting gazes with a rising pet under the sheets of hot mess they’re in throughout the night. “I can’t blame you Bud. It’s been a while indeed.” Like a consoling friend to his long sleeping member. Yet, she’s beautifully tempting to ignore for so he decided.

Sung Eunyoung on the other side, cannot contain her smiling from coming. Feeling absurd by a single thought in mind. She, being intimate with the man she used to brush off her senses surprises her. Not in her whole life did she expect that but now? “Unbelievable. You are so unbelievable, Sung Eunyoung.”

“Unbelievable. Yes, it is.”

A breathy voice speaks after her. That the same person who exactly did a great chaos of her sanity. Jang Taeyoung’s snaking hand on the fabrics of her robe is enough for her to feel the tingling sensation she starts to familiar with. Slanting to get a glimpse of him from behind for there she is being drooled by those dark orbs which only sees is her and only her. She saw it all. The way her own reflection radiates the apples of his sight. And for the first time in a long time…

She felt proud. He’s solely hers. “Jang” She have to say it, like a validation she wanted to seal. And so she did. A peck to her shoulder, a rubbing thumb circling her belly as well as a seeming smile he gives in, and the sight that never left hers. She confirmed.

“Morning, sunshine.”

Before she knew it? She’s already responding, giving the same curve as he did. “Same as you, Mr. Jang.” Her smile that he cannot take, he eventually stole a kiss on her glossy lips. Thus she hissed a glare, frowning by the sudden chaste she least expected. “I knew it. Tss. Seriously, Jang Taeyoung. Hold it, will you?”

Just to garner his famous snigger. “I can’t promise though. You already awaken him, Eunyoung. You tell me.”

True to his words, she did felt its pet inside his sweatpants bulging behind her. Rolling her eyes, she retorted. “Por favor, Loco. You tire me so shut it.”

Much to her dismay, there ain’t much worse than a stubborn Jang Taeyoung it is. What’s new. A traitor hand sensually sneaking inside her, yet after a slicking smirk on his face. “Is that so? But it seems like I’m much tired Mi amor, considering you even went up first than I am. Isn’t it?”

A jolt from her own, and she’s sure she’ll going to deal another of his expertise. While a sudden image he almost forgot to open up pops his mind. “And oh! Speaking of first…” he begins his contractions.  “You’re a damn seducer woman. Sex education, eh? And here I thought you merely took up the common ones. Damn, if I only knew about it early I should have ravished you even back then. You and your wise mind it is, Ms. Sung.”

‘So he saw it. Mierda!’ she can only think of scolding herself. If not her being too occupied that time, she would have known what his contemplating stare mean the moment he stands in front her piled achievements. “So I was wondering…” thus he started his interrogating response.

“Since the educator has already enlightened the writer. Then isn’t it best for the writer to do his part too?”

Right after the impeccable swirl work of his tongue through her neck, he follows his judgement. “Here, in your daybed. You, my tempting empress and I, your welcoming slave. Writing a better version of Kamasutra. What do you think? Hm?”

And she lost it.

As to a delirious awe of her parting lips subsided, slumping back leaning by the nakedness of his chest, carves of its toned tattoos filling the heat of her whole soul. She accepted her defeat again, for rumor whom she cursed to avoid through a lifetime has it. Him, being the infamous Jang Taeyoung in bed that every bold ones looks forward to. Is indeed one fat truth! Which now she shamelessly admits includes her. A one big slap to her denials. A screw momentum for her living pride. She’s hopeless for she starts to become unsure herself between the reason of her own desire.

Was it because of the fact that he’s simply a natural taming scavenger? Or rather it was his effortless sweet talk calling of giving her names of his liking? Either, or. It’s just seems her writer has finally taught her of what a word insatiable means. A kind of pleasure that had slowly become her favorite thing. Before she realized? They eventually did it again. In her daybed. Feeling the sweats of their aftermath solitude. Hearing each other’s heaving breaths.

Sometime later. Reviving from a huffing state she opts to turn her head to face the weariless man next to her, spooning her and ready for a possible round he’s wishing. Yet, not on her watch as she quickly grabs his sultry hands off her. “Loco, please. I have other things to put at work. Spare me, will you?”    

Even when she ends up slapping him afterwards. Him and his slyness, what’s new. “Cabrón.” A set of warning before a groaning contrary by him happened. “Tss. You and your threats.”  

“And when did a simple warning become a threat,” Sitting up to fix her disheveled robe. Frowning to face the culprit himself. “Huh?” followed by a glancing inquiry she demands for answer. “Whatever smart Sung. As if you let me slip anyway.” A frustrated man came to visit for defiance.

She almost forgot to suppress herself to snigger. For heaven’s sake! She supposed to remain compose even, yet damn this sulking loco of her ruining everything that the only choice she had is to hold her breath to stop a bursting demeanor. Good thing she had her back on him that he’s clueless of what she’s up to, trying to make herself calm as much as possible.

Biting her lips for the last time, “You’re mad at me?” she managed to reciprocate an indecent follow-up, facing him. “FYI Mr. Sly fox, whose fault is it anyway that I have been bombarded with numerous calls from my superiors and so my presence is a must this instant? Good thing my phone is still working even after being thrown. I’ll definitely kill you if it isn’t. Tss.”

“Dare if you can.” Raising up while avoiding her sight, he sprints back inside her bedroom picking up his tussled summer shirt to as well cover his shirtless figure before mockingly staring at her. “As if I was the one who rejected the call even, when in fact the only thing I did was to tease you. That is.” Upset by how suddenly hard to button his shirt, a cussing Jang finally came by. “F*cking shirt!” a forcing hand frustratingly put on-hold.

And she can’t hold any longer. “Hmpp--- pfft! Hahahahah.”

“Now your laughing. Wow.” Indeed. She had freely put herself from laughing out loud, so enough to flex her low vibrato. “Really, woman?” Another of his rebuke for she still doing it. “Sung Eunyoung! I tell you woman, if you don’t stop I might just---“

“Okay! Okay. I’ll--- hahah--- sorry. Okay, uhum. I’ll stop. There. Are we good?”

“Whatever. Tsk.”

Sensing his mug menace, she eventually stopped for real, approaching the man who felt victimize. “Hey, cutie.”

“Did you just call me---“

Something sealed onto his lips before he could actually finish his sentence. It was hers to begin with. The savoring taste he cannot attain to sweep away for so in just a snap of it, his frustration fade away. As fast as that, she swiftly turns the table while he has to curse himself for being a muted cub with this volatile woman in front of him silkily volunteering to button his shirt herself before giving a scrutinizing stare that drown him to dive in the depths of his sensible soul.  

“Is this the real you, Jang Taeyoung? An ever persistent man with the woman he like? Hm?”

He remained speechless. Not long before he clamor to decide beneath himself. Proclaiming to dive along the eye-banging they begun to get used to. “Yes. And you have never been the woman I like, Sung Eunyoung. Let me just correct you in that part because you’ve always been a lover for me. That is.”

He confessed, and she was taken aback. Silently gulping on her own, she can only hide her fluster. She won’t let herself get defeated that easy. Not yet. Sliding away her hold from his nape as she crossed her arms provoking him instead. “You, sly. You pretty sure it isn’t just the lust talking?”

Levelling her pace, he countered back. A brow, twisting to bicker. “Given. You can’t blame me. I’ve been caged enough with celibacy, woman. Just so you know.”

“Is that so? Well sad, Loco. Seems that woman of yours can’t spend a whole day for you.”

“F*cking sh*---“

“La mierda. Halt that vulgar mouth of yours, will you?”

“Like who’s talking as well. Now woman, if you keep making excuses just not to spend time with me, it’s not working.”

She surrendered. A sweeping hand thru the air and a clicking tongue of mockery. She debated. “Aish. Fine. For the peace of your mind then let me just tell you Mr. Jang Taeyoung that aside for the urgent school agenda, I will actually go straight to meet my parents for dinner. There? Does it answer all your question?”

Crossing her arms once again before the unexpected bafflement she never imagined to see from him happened. Looking by his reaction, she was left confused as if he suddenly reminded of something he had forgotten in a while. Nevertheless, she crossed the idea anyway. Choosing her assuming one instead.

With a dreary sigh, she banters. “Right. How come I expect that my parents-pass will actually work for you. I’m foolishly hoping for nothi---“

“Oh…”

“Oh?” surprised by his reply, somehow she unconsciously responded the same before shrugging the thought off and obliged to fill her discontinued one different from the original she opts to be.

“--- Miraculously. Thank you then, Loco. Congratulation eh, that’s new.”  

She even dared to add some teasing at the end of her sentence, just to be unheard by still zoning man in front of her. “Cabrón?” Wanting to get his attention, she retaliates not knowing it was actually a start of a counter. An eyeing man bound to release an unexpected reply. “Can I tag along?”

“Of course, you sha--- what?!”

An embellish retort came after her indeed. “Come again, Jang Taeyoung?” A sassy man tacking its hands in his pockets responded instead. “I said can I tag along. So, can I?”

“And why would I?”

“You never know…” Shrugging off, a knowing smirk faces her.

“No.”

Thus the stern word she decides to give in. “Now if you’ll excuse me, Mister. I have to get change already.” Forcefully pushing the stubborn man behind her closed doors, a piercing shut has been heard.

~

But screw her for underestimating everything for it was still her in the end being clowned by what was happening around her all along. “What the.”

“--- hell?”
