#happy miku fortnite day!

[sansfangirl24]

MHA boys react to their s/o wanting to put their Minecraft beds together :3

Warnings: all the fluff in the world, Izuku is a dork, girlyfem!reader kind of?

Helloo lovely people and helloo my lovely simps<3 its been a while since I've done a headcanon fic thing so here you are! btw I'm sorry shoto isn't there, I love him but I have no idea how to write for him :(

Bakugo Katsuki

Doesn't really understand the significance of putting fake beds next to each other. You already live and sleep together in real life so what difference does it make if you sleep together in Minecraft? But after looking up from his screen and looking over at you, one look at the puppy dog face that you make to get your way, he gives in and puts his orange bed next to yours

He has to admit though it does feel kind of nice sleeping next to each other after a long day of mining and exploring (and getting ironically blown up by creepers) but he hides the small smile that creeps on his face because he knows you'll never shut up about it. You also don't have your own bed anymore, Bakugo threw the bed you originally had into a lava pit (that he made without your permission) and replaced it with a black bed so it could match with his orange bed

Izuku Midoriya

Gets flustered and places his green bed by your pretty pink bed before bolting out the door of the house that you two made together and hiding in a cave. The poor boy just can't fathom the thought of sleeping next to you even in Minecraft. Its not because he doesn't want to be near you its because to him thats like a step up in the relationship and that makes him a bit nervous that he's gonna mess it up (he's so dramatic)

After a couple weeks of getting used to it though he gladly hops into the bed next to yours and he always types goodnight in the chat even if your right next to each other while your playing

Denki Kaminari

Actually is ecstatic when you suggest it. He was busy in the nether getting blaze rods for the dragon fight when you brought it up and this moron (sweetie pie) jumped into a pit of lava just so he would spawn back at your little hut so he could do it himself. Even after you scolded him because he lost all the materials and the special diamond sword you made him, he was kissing you in real life and in Minecraft

He also is always the first one to be in bed because he loves seeing you round up all the cats and dogs that you have so that all of them are on the beds with you because according to him "these are basically our children so they must sleep with us"

Eijiro Kirishima

Hugs you in real life while faking tears saying: "I'm so happy we took this big step" he's an idiot but a cutie pie. After some hugging and kissing he finally puts his bright red bed next to your pretty purple one then gets a sign and puts it next to your beds. You ask what he's writing but he tells you to be patient and wait. You would soon find out that the sign said 'Mr and Mrs Kirishima's bed'

Yeah now you have to marry him there's no other choice. He gets a bunch of wood and makes nightstands for you both too

Hope you guys liked this! Its finally the weekend! I'm so happy and I'm gonna Miku fortnite uuup! But I'm also gonna work on drawings, requests, and fics so hold on to your hats! love you all <33

happy miku fortnite day

[watashime-ciel]

i couldn't care less about miku to be honest. i fucking hate her. worst fucking Vocaloid her voicebank ain't even good

but when she was added to fortnite (birthday ruined btw half my friends cared about her more than they cared to wish me a happy birth tf), i couldn't help but think Yellow would silently cry as he entered fortnite, then closed it, then went to bed, then Blue asks what happened, and Yellow just screams

because Miku is not aquamarine in fortnite, she's BLUE and her face is too round and her eyes too small

"that ain't Miku that's MIKE"

he'd cry for whatever's left of the day and the next day, for the first time, he'd stay away from technology. that's right, my bitch is traumatized

i don't know i tried to cheer myself up for seeing everyone so fixated on her😭 god i hate miku so much what the fuck

[loveletterworm]

I do think that people will maybe be happy to know that within her first day of being in Fortnite that Miku immediately got one of the hardest songs in the Guitar Hero mode (at least on lead the difficulty rankings on the other instruments are also very high but lower) like likely within the top 3 according to a random reddit comment i saw

She won. Even if from this point on they don't bother to give her any songs beyond the initial 4 she already won. She is Guitar Hero now

happy miku fortnite day for all who observe!!!!!

[magicalgirlagency]

How do you feel about Sonic Real Time Fandubs?

They're absolutely asinine (affectionate). And Lythero's lives and Tio Gordo's Crash Bandicoot videos are on the same level, too.

Here are some of my favorite quotes/dialogues (the list's rather long, so stay for a li'l while):

[SILVER]: "Y'know, maybe things aren't so bad! I'm here, with a nice ocean breeze, alone with my thoughts..."

[...]

[BLAZE]: "Hey, Silver!"

[SILVER]: "GODDAMNIT--"

⭐

[MEPHILES]: "In the future, looks like you'll kiss seven girls! How lucky for you!"

[SONIC]: "Shadow, you're an asshole, man."

[SHADOW]: "You are what you eat, Sonic!"

⭐

[STORM]: I can't see the end of the horizon-- HATSUNE MIKU?!?!? IS THAT YOU?!?!?!"

⭐

[MEPHILES]: "You silly feeble-minded little gay... I am so far beyond Fortnite!"

⭐

[DR. EGGMAN]: "I am going to kill you... and then, kill you again."

⭐

[AMY]: "SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!! I DID NOT GO TO FOUR YEARS OF MASTERS' SCHOOL TO GET TO BE CALLED A DUSTY BITCH!!"

[SONIC]: "Okay, what did you go for, though? 'Cause I can't tell."

⭐

[CHARMY]: "Yippieee! I can die happy tomorrow!"

⭐

[SONIC]: "Hahaha, ONE!"

⭐

[AMY]: "You... MOTHERFUCKER!! You just left me to DIE!!"

[SONIC]: "Top 30 Reasons Why Sonic Is Sorry (No. 5 Will Surprise You!)"

[AMY]: "Top 30 Anime Deaths! No. 1: YOUR ASS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!"

⭐

[JET]: "I love stealin' shit! Great day!"

⭐

[SONIC]: "Woah, he's bisexual! I didn't know that!"

[DR. EGGMAN]: "Also, I'm bisexual, by the way--"

⭐

[DR. EGGMAN]: "The CAUCACITY of this bitch..."

⭐

[SHADOW]: "Well, you know what they say: If you kill someone, you get ALL of their Sin Points!"

[DR. EGGMAN]: "Well, DUH, you idiot! That's what I've just said!"

[SHADOW]: "Yes, I'm gonna kill YOU!"

[DR. EGGMAN]: "You fu-- What. Wait a minute, I don't-- I don't wanna die yet, wai--"

⭐

*Downloading: Weed.exe...*

[E-123 OMEGA]: "HOOOOLLLLYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII--"

[MEPHILES]: "Welcome to my house. As you can see, I've knocked so many chairs over because I'm getting so TiLtEd At ThE tOwErS!"

Near the last 20 or so minutes she put us into breakout rooms to converse about things we like so I got to share my interests!! Mainly with guys who played games like Fortnite so... No one knew omori or Doki Doki sadly... I also continued watching Live Love! Idol Project!! I'm really liking it and I'm happy to be getting into more idol stuff !!

Stupid Buster Bros. Headcanons I Wrote In My Notes at 1 AM

hello there

you may know me as the person who made that “Subaru is an eboy” DL headcanons

You may not know me at all but I had the idea of continuing my legacy of terrible headcanons into my newer fandom, hypmic

However when I wrote these I realized they were too long

so we’re going to break this up into the divisions

so let’s start with buster bros

Jiro exclusively responds to the family groupchat with reaction memes

They could be talking about dinner

or their next division battle

and jiro would send a Kermit meme

If Ichiro doesn’t like sailor moon I’m out of here

Buster Bros said stan twice

Saburo doesn’t like to admit it but he said stan twice too, he’s sana biased

Ichiro probably has a Momo pc in his phone case

And you’re lying if you say Jiro isn’t a Jihyo stan

tbh I feel like Ichiro is a solid girl group stan

Like he was the one posting stan loona everywhere

Probably is really into CLC, G-Friend, EXID, you name it

Jiro is kinda into it but mostly for the visuals

cause he got a phat crush on Seulgi

but he sticks to the big 3 girl groups and doesn’t really know too much outside it and probably really just knows their title tracks

Saburo was just here for twice man,,,,

he is a loyal sana stan,,,

but don’t ask him about it he’s not gonna tell you

Jiro cant go grocery shopping with the fam anymore

He started a food fight in the produce isle

He’s also banned from a McDonald’s along with dice

They decided it would be a good idea to start a revolution in the McDonald’s,,,,

Long story short jiro was on the counter screaming while dice was smuggling the fries and nuggets into a bag

Awh Ichiro and Ramuda reunion when they have to go bail them out of jail

So we all know that saburo is an absolute sucker for board and card games

I feel like he’s really into puzzle video games too or like strategy games

Professor Layton, fire emblem, you name it

Probably also really likes legend of Zelda

Long story short saburo is a Nintendo nerd

But saburo prefers the board games and shit

Like that’s just his crack I guess

But if Ichinii is too busy

And he doesn’t want to deal with the crackhead he’s supposedly related to

He’ll just whip out his switch and play by himself

(bby I’ll play a card game with you if you want you don’t have to be alone-)

Speaking of video games

I don’t think Ichiro is really too into video games,,,

He probably likes the ones related to his anime

and some Nintendo ones

Basic ones though: think Mario kart

Also super smash he’s an Isabelle main

But jiro????

Jiro gives me big gamer boy energy

If jiro is not out breaking the laws, causing utter trouble and mayhem

He’s playing fortnite till 3 am

(Go to bed jiro that’s not good for you)

Ichiro doesn’t appreciate the 3 am raging

Neither does saburo

But Ichiro doesn’t really care what he does as long as middle bro is happy

So sometimes if Jiro hasn’t caused complete and utter mayhem for a hot minute

Ichiro will pick up a copy of a game jiro has been talking about for awhile

Jiro probably cries

Saburo is salty

“Ichinii you don’t have to waste your money on that one, save your money and buy something for yourself”

I replied to someone on Twitter with this

Ichiro would deadass get the miku car

JUST TO HAVE THE MIKU CAR

like I feel like once they get all idol status and have a bit more money rolling in from merch or whatever is being sold in that hypmic universe

HE JUST GOES OUT AND FUCKING BUYS THE MIKU CAR

AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT CUTE LOWKEY TURQUOISE ONE

I MEAN THIS

(Ichiro why???,,,,,)

Jiro thinks it’s the absolute funniest shit ever

and he’s probably into it too

Plus jiro has like 0 shame so he’s tagging along with Ichiro in this fucking miku car with World is Mine playing full volume

And they one day are like

“Let’s go get saburo from school with this thing”

So here they are

In front of saburos school

In a miku car

Saburo completely walks past them

Not fucking today Satan

And jiro and Ichiro are like “SABURO WERE RIGHT HERE GET IN THE CAR”

“Who’s saburo? I’m chad”

“SABURO YAMADA, GET IN THE CAR”

“What’s a saburo yamada, I dont know what that is”

Saburo walks home while the other two kind of trail behind him in the miku car

Long story short saburo is now known as the kid with the miku car at school

Poor saburo,,,,

So to put it simply

Buster Bros is a gang of fucking nerds

Saburo won’t admit that includes him though

Saburo does not know what a “signal bonae” dont ask him what it is-

“......ᴵ ᵐᵘˢᵗ ˡᵉᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ᵏⁿᵒʷ,,,,,”

[letstalksymphogear]

Symphogear, EP. 3 (Cont.)

“aight fellas im here for the fortnite session where we droppin boys”

Hibiki shows up, ready to participate in this four player game of sociological tension.

“hope hibiki’s doing okay. im worried about her. ryoko, stop resting your arm on my head.”

“ryoko does as ryoko pleases baby”

Vibrates angstily.

“im missing my wife for this guys please lets just do this”

“wish i had a wife too instead of this vase filled with fucking ashes” SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORP

The squad analyzes the statistics of all Noise outbreaks over the last month to see if there’s a pattern somewhere. Somehow, Hibiki is regarded as an authority on this, despite being just a normal girl.

This is not the face of someone who has a degree in Noisology, let alone even listened to a Noisia album.

“looking photogenic while this girl describes how these horrible, lovecraftian entities butcher entire populations will look great on my acting resume”

Strained sounds of holding back laughter at this absolute clownery.

*coughs quietly*

Exposition goes on about the UN acknowledging the existence of Noise, but them existing for far longer, existing in myths as demons and monsters of long ago. This makes little sense, but fuck it, just roll with it. They also say the Noise is rare, but this being Symphogear, the Noise will be here forever, until the end of time.

“its like the noise are a metaphor........................”

Hibiki, looking dead inside as the average overnight studying student would, muses whether someone is behind the noise. She also asks if you can hear the sound of one hand clapping.

Tsubasa makes a very relevant observation that the school is smack dab at the center of all these outbreaks. In retrospect, you probably should have asked her first. She points out it may be because someone wants their get their hands on the almost complete relic hidden away in the 2nd Division: Durandal. Why anyone wants an old ass french sword is beyond me.

“yeah i can do exposition too, fuck you”

Finished relics are extremely rare and as a result extremely powerful. Incomplete ones are pretty powerful, but need to be rebuilt a bit.

“i discovered all this, conveniently, as the only person left to do so! totally not suspicious at all.”

“anime plot hurting brain. bullshit levels make think no good.”

“wish i got hired for a macross anime instead, they get to go to space”

“being meguca is suf- wait, im confusing my roles”

The exposition goes on to note that America wants the relic. This is one of the few shows that depicts America in a very serious and antagonistic light. America never cooperates in any useful way except once.

“it should would suck if someone was sending us them noise monster all on purpose-like”

“yeah............! suuuuuure would suck.... mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm...”

Tsubasa and Ogawa quietly plan idol ruminations. This animation used to be far, far worse.

This is the moment where Tsubasa becomes sword-kin. From here on out, she will always refer to herself as a sword. This is law. Literally every single season has this same deal. She believes she is a sword. I know it’s not literal, but I like pretending it is.

Succ Intensifies

“gonna get her number later after the season is over, damn”

Hibiki muses on the nature of war.

“why we gotta fight”

“cause yall suck”

Ryoko then says some very not nice things that we’re just going to walk right around because Ryoko is a little bit of a weirdo and should probably keep her flirting to the short haired lady working on the bridge.

“i will call the cops, lady”

Hibiki starts her next day at school as she spots Tsubasa during her choir class.

“forget my nintendo switch with the latest smash bros game in the classroom goddamnit”

“hibiki please tone down the gay for five seconds while we try to get through this dumb singing class in one piece”

“i smell a homewrecker”

“THE GAY CAN NEVER BE TONED DOWN, IT CAN ONLY BE TONED”

Hibiki is then fed by multiple classmates for this statement.

The Anime Janai crew is fond of Hibiki, much like a group of Lords being fond of the royal court jester. Hibiki clowns it up by working on a report she procrastinated until the very last minute. “Your life sure is an anime!”, one of them says. Hibiki then says, “I wish!”. They smile in unison at the irony.

Look at how they mock the threads of reality. Absolute monsters.

Hibiki nails the report at the skin of her teeth, Miku’s gonna get ready for the meteor shower, everyone’s real fucking happy, the evening looks peaceful, all is well.

“i cant wait to do all these fun things we promised several times over!”

Unfortunately, the worst case scenario happens.

Her tiddies start ringing.

“no.... fuck.... my tiddies... they’re ringing...”

She knows now she cannot go.

In retrospect, she probably could’ve blown them off. I mean, what are they gonna do? Fire her? She’s practically irreplaceable. Alas, her conscience is too strong. The ringing from her tiddies too loud to ignore.

“okay im back for the thing you promised we’d do repeatedly that we planned for a good amount of weeks now”

“...”

“i got fucking ghosted didnt i”

“cannot fucking believe i got ditched on my hot date with hibiki. bet its because her tiddies rang, isnt it. always her and her... GODDAMN tiddies ringing ALL THE TIME. LET ME BE WITH HER... god...”

“bae. im sorry. the tiddies rang. i have no choice.”

Miku tries to keep it together. Neither of them are happy about this state of affairs, and rightfully so, because it’s fucking stupid. Hell, it would have made more sense of Miku knew but still got jealous anyway, because she feels her job is establishing too much distance! And they talk those problems out instead of issues that only arise if everyone’s a goddamn moron about communication!

“but thats the point of the pl-”

NO! IT’S NOT CLEVER! IT’S FRUSTRATING! THERE ARE CLEVER WAYS TO SHOW A LACK OF COMMUNICATION BESIDES A CHAIN OF OBSTACLES TOO STUPID TO EXIST!

Miku takes the whole thing with grace even though I’m absolutely certain she threw her phone at the wall in raw, gay frustration.

Hibiki, understandably, is pretty fucking pissed.

“im gay. im angry, and im gonna fuck yall up for RUINING MY DATE AFTER HAVING FINISHED MY DAMN REPORT”

Hibiki fights the Noise. She’s gotten slightly better at fighting, but for now she’s still sorta trash at it. A grape themed Noise throws bombs and crushed her under rocks from a ceiling.

You’re a student. You’re the lone survivor of a concert that you got flak about for years. You go to an institution for singing with your best friend and basically get shoved into a life of crime fighting unwittingly. Your only teammate hates you and tried to kill you. You don’t get to hang out with your best friend anymore. Your teachers hate you. And you’re losing against the abominations that may have potentially warped your life negatively, forever.

This is probably the pivotal moment where Hibiki fucking snaps and decides she ain’t taking shit anymore. She’s not at her strongest yet, but mentally? She has decided to tell the world to go fuck itself.

“MY WIFE THINKS IM CHEAAAAAATING, MY TEAMMATE THINKS I SUUUUUUUUUCK, AND I’M SICK AND TIRED OF IT”

My, Hibiki, what big fangs you have. All the more to grit your teeth and beat the shit out of things with, I assure you.

Needless to say, even without having the skill, she’s starting to understand and get more comfortable with the full extent of the power her suit provides her.

She’s gotten so mad that even the illustrators are afraid of her.

To note: this isn’t just anime drama silhouette stylization. She is actually physically turning into a red eyed shadow. You’ll know why later down the road.

“YOU WANNA FUCKIN FIGHT ME NOW TSUBASA? HUH? HUH? YOU WANNA FUCKIN’ FIGHT ME?!”

Needless to say, her rampage goes on for a while.

She manages to dispatch all the Noise except for the Grape themed one. Up in the hole it made, she sees the meteor fall from the sky...

Wait, look closer. Is it a bird?

A plane?!

No, it’s...!

“i aint gonna tell her i just did a wish on her”

Sword!

“why the fuck does SHE get jetpacks?!”

Hibiki randomly yells out she wants to protect things too, for absolutely no real reason. Who would even break the ice with that. Hibiki, please.

They sorta stare each other down in a field awkwardly, like a bad high school reunion. But, a mysterious voice breaks out of literally fucking nowhere.

“didnt know they legalized gay marriage in japan already, otherwise id be showing up to this joke of a marriage sooner, you absolute buffoons”

“did this bitch just insinuate id waste my time getting married to this complete idiot, let alone even contemplate getting married in a public park as opposed to having a customized karaoke based marriage in the FUCKING HILTON?!”

“hey time out dont say that shit im already married and my wife already feels enough like im cheating so please keep those comments to yourself okay please”

“eat my ass, nerds. id tell you to come to the park in 15 minutes for an ass kicking...

but we’re already here, now aren’t we?”

[loverelatedvoodoo-blog]

Just for tonight.

As I sat there, quivering, unable to move my fingers from the pure anxiety that engulfed me. My Squad mates on the other end of the voice comm were just straight chillin.

For them, it was just business. For them, it was just the 10th match of the day. For them, it was just another victory royale. For the past 2 weeks, this was all they've done: Fortnite grinding.

I mean, it is winter break after all. It's the time of the year when the sun sets at 6pm (way too early), and the streets are off limits — just from the sheer ridiculousness of how much snow there is outside.

In suburban Maryland, there's nothing else to do but stay indoors and play video games; and what better game to play than the latest hot-topic shooter game that all the youngins are crazing over: Fortnite Battle Royale.

Everyone in the entire state of Maryland was playing Fortnite. Everyone except for me!

I wasn't like the other kids. I didn't like shooter games. I liked to play dating sims: dialogue-heavy simulations where you, the main character, is ridiculously likeable for no apparent reason. I liked how I was able to interact with people of the opposite sex — even if they were two-dimensional. I liked the attention they gave me, and how I was able to bend my fate and end up with the girl I liked by just answering a few multiple choice questions. It was easy and fun, and I liked the attention I was getting.

But it's been two weeks of non-stop dating sims. I've played through every game at least five times already. Am I really satisfied with being cooped up in my dimly lit room playing erotic visual novels by myself though? No. Not really. I didn't like being lonely.

It was then, when I decided I should "Squad Up"; interact with other kids my age — not with two-dimensional anime girls. I downloaded Fortnite Battle Royale on the Epic Games launcher. It took about 45 minutes to install. 45 minutes of pure excitement, only to be crushed by my mental incapacity. I didn't have enough motor skills to aim, shoot, and build at the same time. I've never felt so unfamiliar before. I grew up only knowing how to answer multiple choice questions from anime girls.

It was hard but, nevertheless, I got over it. I got over it and queued up for a four man, fight to the death, battle royale.

A quick thirty seconds passed, and there I was, with my three new friends: Buttsmacker69, xXSaiyanLordXx, and n00bSl@yer. 

"Where we droppin' boys?" I asked, attempting to fit in.

Silence.

"How about Tomato Town?" I asked again frantically searching for any sort of human interaction.

Nothing.

I was lost. I was being ignored, like in every other situation in my life. I was ready to call it quits; anime girls were the only people there for me. 

Until I realised that my mic was muted the entire time! My mood turned 180 degrees. I've never felt so alive. They weren't ignoring me. They actually were my friends. I quickly changed my sound and mic settings and held my microphone up to my mouth.

I asked loudly. Confidently.

"Where we droppin' boys? 😎"

"Uhhh, Idk, let's just drop tilted lol"

"Yeah that works"

"okay. dropping"

Red. Blue. Purple.

Pings started popping up on my mini-map.

A smile emerged from my face. 

I pinged as well.

Yellow.

There it was. My first human interaction in 6 months. My first interaction with my best friends: Buttsmacker69, xXSaiyanLordXx, and n00bSl@yer. 

We dropped at Tilted Towers. Buttsmacker69 landed on the roof mining away at the ceiling; xXSaiyanLordXx landed in the clock tower and picked up a golden Scar; n00bSl@yer managed to pick up a blue Tactical Shotgun and got first blood.

Then it was my turn. Enthusiastic and ready to get the second kill on the team, I landed in the convenience store. To my right I saw an SMG: perfect for close range combat. To my left, there was John Wick, unarmed. 

We both knew what each other wanted. I was closer to it, there was no way I would lose to John Wick.

Why wasn't I moving?

All I have to do is hold W and press E when I get to the SMG. 

Why wasn't I moving?

I looked away from the screen and towards my left hand. My keyboard hand. It was shaking. 

Why aren't you moving?

My hand felt further and further away from me the longer I stared at it. Why can I not control you? These were not my hands. 

These next five seconds that felt like a million years. I watched as John Wick slowly walked over to the SMG on my right. He turns around and looks dead straight at me. He saw the fear in my eyes. He saw that I was weak. Helpless. 

I never would've thought in a million years that watching John Wick do the Fortnite default dance emote would be so painful, but it was. It hurt. I was powerless. I was being "disrespected" and "styled on", and I couldn't do anything about it.

In a frame perfect transition from the default dance to neutral position, he shot me. I was down. I called for help, but he shot me again. 

Two minutes into the game, I was dead.

"I knew I shouldn't have queued up with randoms"

"Don't play squads if you suck"

"Holy shit, ur so bad"

They were talking about me. I suck. The people who I thought were my best friends turned against me. 

I took off my headphones and turned towards my wall. I looked at my favorite poster of Hatsune Miku: Winter 2018 edition. Miku chan would never turn against me. I loved Miku chan.

I didn't need human interactions. I didn't need Fortnite. Afterall, life is only so long, you shouldn't be wasting your time with people who aren't there to support you. The anime girls in the dating sims genuinely loved me, and I loved them. 

Am I satisfied with being cooped up in my room with my anime girls by my side? Yes. Yes, if it means that I receive love and affection. This is who I am, I don't need to fit in with pop culture to feel happy. I never felt anxious with my anime girls — I should've taken that as a sign. Being nervous on something like a first date is O.K., but being so anxious to the point where you lose control of yourself is not.
