#happy pride im questioning my gender again

[x-----------x]

okay i like the idea of being someone's girlfriend but not a girl. thinking abt this more is like i like not being expected to initiate anything but then that is like it's just because i wasn't raised with a lot of affection and do i actually like this person or is it the attention. and then i don't want to come out to anyone not even this guy. because like its just inconvenient For Me. it doesn't matter. i m okay with she her pronouns so i don't really care. being nonbinary for me is like being bisexual i genuinely just think people are really interesting i'd like to experience it all. living in the moment is so hard

To answer the original question OP here are some safer (privately owned!) shops :)

Gem's Moss Shop (azaleas for sale which can be bonemealed)

Bdub's Bamboo Shop (bamboo wood is a good eco-friendly alternative to your typical spruce or oak)

The Purr-purr bus (if you're okay with having slightly more exotic trees, from the End)

Hope this helped! <3

Why would you pay diamonds for less when you could just pay a few grains of sand for the best quality wood in the shopping district? You people confuse me

Hello! Can I request some slightly possessive Zhongli, Tighnari, Cyno, Kaveh, Tartaglia, and Xiao? Like, maybe someone’s flirting with the reader, and the boys start to become slightly possessive in a non-toxic way.

I do love your writing, and I would really love it if you could write one (or all) of my favorite Genshin boys in this scenario!

I do love me some possessive men sometimes:)

Characters Included: Tighnari; Cyno; Kaveh; Xiao

Content: gender neutral reader; mentions of jealousy; possessive behaviour but not extreme; slight teasing im Xiao's part

Word count: 2,2k words

Everyone, please enjoy the meal<3

Tighnari

He knew that you could handle yourself..

There was no need for him to interviene in every little conversation you had with another person. He wasn't THAT jealous.

Then again, this situation probably didn't count as a normal conversation in the first place.

He has kept a close eye on you for the past 15 minutes, observing you and that researcher you were talking to.

As it so happened, there were a couple researchers coming to Gandharva Ville for a few weeks to gain some deeper insights on ther fields of study, but this particular man seemed to have more of an interest in you than his academic education.

While he was obviously flirting with you, yoir entire body language told Tighnari everything he needed to know, that you were not interested in him in the slightest.

Which, of course you wouldn't be, since you were his partner already. And he always made sure to keep you happy with him, that you didn't lack anything. He prides himself on taking good care of his partner.

Yet, that researcher just didn't seem to get your hints and Tighnari could tell that you were starting to feel uncomfortable. At least, if the way your bidy was facing away from the man was any indication to that. If not, then your searching eyes were indeed a decicive clue.

As he was still debating wether he should interviene or not, the guy suddenly grabbed you by the wrist and tried pulling you along with him. You resisted of course, but that was also the moment Tighnari snapped into action.

He quickly, but sternly, made his way over to the two of you. Immediately, he wrapped his arms around your waist from behind, pulling you away feom the guy and into himself.

You tensed up for a second at the unexpected touch but quickly relaxed as you realized who it was.

Tighnari kept his arms wrapped around you while resting his chin on your shoulder, his cold gaze fixed at the researcher in front of him.

"Is there a problem here? Do you have any questions to my partner?", Tighnari asked him, his voice sounded friendly, but there was an underlying layer of sheer coldness.

"N-no.. I.. gotta go now.", the guy mumbled as he walked away swiftly, not looking back one. Tighnari kept watching him until he was out of sight and turned to look at you as he felt one of your hands reach up to pet his ears.

"Are you alright?", he asked, trying to ignore his tail swaying behind him from side to side. He enjoyed your touch but didn't want to sucumb to it out in public like that.

"Yeah, I am. Thank you for saving me there.", you smiled up at him, turning in his arms to place a soft kiss to his cheek.

At this, Tighnari cleared his throat, trying to will his tail to stop with the intense swaying, while a blush also started to appear on his face.

"That's good then.."

For the rest of the day, he kept you close to him to ensure that no other guys would try to come up and talk to you.

He might not get jealous often, but if you let him act on his jealousy, he can get quite protective of you. Not that you mind that, though..

Cyno

Being the General Mahamatra meant that he would be gone on missions often, some of them even taking a couple of days where he would not return home.

Though you weren't always happy with that particular aspect of his job, you knew what you got yourself into when you decided to date him and you've come to terms with it at this point.

At least he makes an effort not to go out on missions when there's an important date coming up, like birthdays or annyversaries.

But it can get lonely from time to time, bot for you and for him. Every time youbwere apart, you would yearn for the other, praying that he would return sooner rather than later.

And for once, the prayers were answered. A job that Cyno thought might take him a week was solved within only three days, meaning that he could return to you much sooner than anticipated.

He was excited about this turn of events. As soon as he came back to the Academiya, he quickly organized things so that he got the remaining four days off, planing to surprise you with the great news.

As he was on his way to your place, excited to see you again, he halted when he hears a sudden commotion on Treasures Street, noticing people whispering among themselves.

At first he wanted to ignore it, seeing as he was officially on leave, but quickly found that he couldn't. So, he made his way to where the heart of the commotion was, and boy was he glad that he did not ignore it.

He was surprised when he saw you there in the middle of the street, but even more surprised, an furious, about the guy who was clearly pushing himself onto you.

You were looking extremely uncomfortable as the guy kept getting closer to you, leaning his face close to yours. You kept trying to escape him but he would always chase after you, not leaving you alone.

"Come on, baby~ one kiss won't hurt anyone. Your guy doesn't even have to know!"

"No! Leave me alone already!", you yelled, trying to slap hin away but the guy caught your hand mid-air.

But before he could do anything else, you were suddenly pulled out of his grasp and pulled into another person. A huge wave of relief washed over you as you glanced back and saw Cyno there. You quickly got around and hid behind him, shielding yourself from this creep.

"Uhh.. uhm.. G-general Mahamatra.. what-!"

"What do you think you were doing with my partner there? Trying to force yourself on them?"

"N-no! Not at all!", the guy yelled, awkwardly laughing before quickly bailing out of the situation, running with his tail between his legs.

Cyno let out a deep breath then turned around to you. "Are you alright?"

"I think so.", so nodded, still shaken up by what just happened. Cyno understood that. He placed an arm protectively around your waist as he guided you to your home, keeping an eye on his surroundings at all times.

He made sure that nothing was out of the ordinary as he got you home safely where he proceeded to take care of you, getting you a glass of water and telling you to relax for now.

It might not have been the best start ibto his four day break, but it could only get better from here on out..

Kaveh

He wasn't usually one to get jealous easily. He really wasn't..

So why was it, that it ticked him off so much that you were enjoying your conversation with this other man?

Maybe it was the fact that you were SUPPOSED to be on a date right now!

After all, he just won the Interdarshan Championship, so he invited you out for a nice dinner to treat you, his beautiful partner.

But, somehow, you became engrossed in conversation with your waiter. This guy has been standing by your table for at least a few minutes now, after he was done taking your orders.

It ticked Kaveh off, how you laighed at what he said. How the guy was blatantly ignoring him and how he was obviously flirting with you!

Did you not notice? Or did you not mind this?

But you should mind, right?

Because, Kaveh is still your boyfriend, after all. So you should pay attention to him!

But he said nothing. Instead, he simply continued to stare daggers at you, but mostly this waiter. He just wanted him gone already, this guy was ruining the date.

An exasperated sigh left Kaveh's lips, which finally caught your attention.

"Are you alright, Kaveh? Not feeling well?", you asked, worry present in your voice.

It made him blush slightly, feeling cared for by you.

He was about to answer you, telling you not to worry about him. But his gaze shifted to the waiter, still standing at your table, and the guy had the nerve to throw a nasty glare at Kaveh!

That's when an idea for petty revenge came into Kaveh's head..

Instead of simply answering your question, he took your hand into his, bringing you close to his face and placing a chaste kiss to the back of your hand.

"I'm fine, my love. No need to worry about me. I'm just happy to spend time with you."

You blush at Kaveh's words but let him act on his antics, since you're already used to it at this point.

Too caught up in what your boyfriend was doing right now, you didn't notice the waiter leaving without another word. But Kaveh did, and he smirked as he watched the guy storm off into the kitchen.

For the rest of the night, he acted like that, offering up his affection at any chance that presented itself to him.

And after you were done eating and on your way out, he placed a hand around you hip, guiding you out the crowded building. While doing so, he threw a glance back, seeing your waiter staring at the two of you.

And Kaveh just couldn't hold back the triumphant smirk he gave this guy before he leaned down and captured your lips in a short kiss.

He felt the stares of the guy but paid them no mind anymore. He already won this battle, and he would fight a thousand more if he had to, knowing that he would imerge victorious every time because he has already won over your heart...

Xiao

Knowing that you were his significant other still felt like a dream to him. One he never thought he deserved to live.

But life thaught him different, especially with you by his side.

He never felt so comfortable with another person by his side, he never thought he wouldn't mind feeling vulnerable, but he didn't care for that so long as it was you.

You thaught him many different things, and he appreciates you for that. Even more so because you helped hin learn things about himself and how to become in touch with his own feelings and emotions.

One thing that Xiao realized during all of this... was that he was feeling quite possessive over you. Or maybe, protective would be the better word.

For example, he always had a strange feeling when he saw you talking to other people, especially other men. It's not that he didn't want you to, he didn't want to lock you up or anything. He was just concerned for your saftey. You never know who the other person was and what they might do to you. He just wanted to look out for you.

But he also knew that he couldn't always act upon those feelings, so he kept them down. But he still followed you around from time to time, only to make sure that you were safe throughout your day.

Currenrtly, he was just finishing up dealing with a group of monsters near the harbor. He looked around the area close by, trying to find any leads on other monster activity, but couldn't find any, so he assumed this problem to be done.

Thinking about you again, he decided to check up on you. His body vanished in a mist of green as he imerged only a few seconds later again at Wangshuu Inn, his first destination in trying to find you.

Luckily, you were here, apparently on your way up towards the balcony he often resided on, but you were apparently in conversation with another guy.

Xiao couldn't quite make out what the conversation was about, but he didn't like it. This guy was standing way too close to you, smiling at you like he wanted something from you.

When looking at you, he noticed the slight hint of uncomfortableness in your eyes, yet you tried to remain nice and friendly with this man.

"Like I said, I already have a boyfriend, so-!"

"That Yaksha guy? Come on, if you wanna lie to me, at least think of something better! Now come on, one date won't hurt anybody, right?", the guy smirked as he leaned down closer to you.

That's where Xiao's patience snapped. He quickly teleported right between you guys, making the dude jump away from you at his sudden appearance.

"Is there a problem here? Do you have business with my partner?" His look amd tone of voice was stern, focused on this man in front of him.

"Wait.. you're really..?", the guy glanced between you and Xiao, before bolting away, not daring to say another word.

Xiao looked after him before turning around to you. "Are you alright?"

You nodded, smirking at him. "Were you jealous there?"

Immediately, his face turned red as he turned around, trying to hide his expression from you.

"D-dont you dare-! I-I'm not-!"

"Cute!", you say while still giggling. And as much as Xiao was embarrassed and wanted to be mad at you, he couldn't.

Although he did wish that you wouldn't tease him like that all the time..

Hi thank you for your work on my ask( yandere blood moon shen).

Can I request headcanons for yandere blood moon shen with the dancer reader.

Dancer reader is male. Sorry I didn't send the gender for the previous one but thanks for still doing it.

Author's nothes: THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY MIND THAT IS HAPENNING IM SOOOOOOOOO WRITING BITCHESSSSSS

Here is the one-shot if you want to read it ;)

Yandere! Blood Moon Shen Headcanons

Chances of your loved ones being killed

Unlike other cultists, Shen is someone who has almost distanced himself from humanity; You are the only thing that keeps that piece of humanity alive.

If I calculate correctly, 50%, this is because only if he feels that these close friends are a “threat” will he jump to attack.

First impressions

Even if I already specified it in the one-shot, I'm going to add a couple of things.

Shen was shy when he was little, and when he met you, he had that typical “childhood love” which was only based on him seeing you from afar.

He always saw you dance, even your parents felt a certain pride in seeing that his son had an admirer.

When your parents started talking about Shen as a big fan of yours, you became intrigued by him; and in the end, you ended up talking to him.

Fall in love

He thought he only saw you as his best friend, as his brother from another mother, as the only person who was truly happy with him.

And that's what you thought too. Until, both began to suffer from the typical invasive question.

“When are you going to have a girlfriend?”

Girlfriend, boyfriend, or whatever. Neither of you ever thought about it, and it wasn't until the question came up from more and more adults that you gave it serious thought.

They both came to the conclusion that the best thing for both of them was for them to be a couple; I mean, children's conclusions.

But what was initially a joke for both of them culminated in a genuine liking for each other.

Slowly, your parents noticed your closeness with Shen, and it was one of the few reasons why they decided to move away from your birthplace.

Beginning of Yanderism

Years passed, and Shen became so attached to that memory of his best friend that he ended up obsessed; It was obvious that he became consumed by the idea that his beloved dancer was taken away from him, that no other man or woman was going to be able to provoke that feeling of affection that ended up…joining the cult.

We'll talk about that later.

First murder or Yandere act

After joining the Blood Moon cult, he began tracking you, trying to find you, and when he did, he planned to go looking for you.

However, just a few days after leaving in search of you, he is notified that there is going to be a big festival. At that festival, he was going to meet you again.

Relationship or kidnapping.

He kidnaps you; he manages to take you away just minutes from your presentation.

The kidnapping had many deaths in the midst, this was due to one reason only; Blood Moon cultists and demons suddenly attacked, taking control of the festival and condemning everyone present there to death. Although there were clearly exceptions.

Luckily your parents were far away, and you were the only survivor, although you may consider it a misfortune for him, it was a blessing.

If he kidnaps you, where would he take you?

He asked for a secluded room in the Blood Moon Temple, a place that none of the other cultists wanted to access since they had all accepted the fact that he had his beloved inside the temple.

Coexistence.

He is kind, so to speak. He likes to cook for you, he usually lets you go out to the temple from time to time, of course only if you were accompanied by him, and sometimes he lets you contact other cultists, although they are not very interested in you, and in fact the only ones with whom you could to speak would be those who have a certain desire to kill you.

He reacts excessively badly to your escapes, and not only does he yell at you and put more chains on you when you are not with him, but he is also capable of not letting you go out and feeding you in a bad way, reducing your portions or limiting your food.

Marriage and family.

He finds marriage he is not very interested and is rather untalkative on the subject.

About your family it is another thing, being that he hates your parents and other members of your family, and in fact he is capable of murdering them all if you only asked him, or if he had enough time to do so, since he dedicates most of his free time just to you.

Bad ending

After several failed attempts, you manage to escape; In the middle of the night you managed to crawl to a home far from the temple where Shen had you locked up, and then you managed to get to where your parents were, who had gotten away from the massacre of the cultists, and had managed to survive and were planning to get you away from that damn place as quickly as possible, now very far from there and with a justifiable reason.

However, he ended up reacting in the worst possible way, being that you expected that if he found the 3 of them, he would simply murder your parents, that he would simply decapitate them or that he would just make the simple decision to keep you away from them forever, but his hatred for your parents had consumed him, and led him to take the most extreme reaction ever seen.

He kidnapped you and your parents, and while they were tortured for days and entire nights, you were forced to watch them, you were forced to see how your parents were horrendously tortured in the worst possible ways, such as having their nails pulled out or having countless barely sharp weapons stuck in their bodies and then withdrawing them, and leaving that they would rot and attract the attention of bugs, it only made you beg, it made you cry at night and you asked your best friend, the person you had trusted so many times to let your parents be tortured, to let them go or give them a rest that would not turn these days into hell and you were even willing to take their places in the torture, and that is what they saw since it would be less painful than simply watching their lives slip away from their grasp. eyes.

But Shen didn't accept it; You were too important to him for you to receive that kind of treatment, and he only forced you to watch, thus ignoring all your crying and constantly threatening you that this would happen to other people you cared about in order to teach you that you should never run away from him again. .

Reasons to be a Yandere

-You were his only friend when he was little, and you were so loved by him that you just stuck in his mind like a nail buried in wood.

-The promise, the damn promise is one of the reasons why he so needs to protect you from your damn parents.

-The excuse of killing other people around you serves to worship the blood moon.

Extra data:

-One of the reasons he joined the cult was that he had information to know your location.

-The more you try to escape, the more sharp and abrupt he is with you; Don't doubt that it can take it to an extreme if you run away too many times.

-He likes to walk with you, and he usually takes you for a walk only if you behave well.

-He loves, but he absolutely LOVES dancing with you, and if you invite him at one point, he will pretend not to, but inside he will be SO EXCITED that he would have a hard time controlling that emotion.

-Shen is someone who is quite stoic when he expresses his emotions, so it is usually difficult for him to say a simple “I love you.” But when he gets used to it, he'll tell you EVERY DAMN DAY.

[sentientgolfball]

Someone a few days ago asked me why I don’t correct people when they misgender me and I’ve been thinking it about it nonstop so im gonna put all my thoughts under the cut. This isn’t like a vent btw it’s more like a…collecting my thoughts all in one place

I am openly nonbinary in my daily life…for the most part. I’m out to all my friends, I have a little pronouns pin on my bag, my preferred name and pronouns are on my school ID and when asked i introduced myself with my pronouns

But I won’t correct people. I won’t tell people either unless we get closer or I’m asked. Because I’m afraid. It has nothing to do with where I’m at, actually the school I go to is literally the most progressive school in my state. I feel genuinely safe here.

It’s because of where I came from. The Midwest is already touch and go, but coming from a small town in the middle of a cornfield? Yea it wasn’t good. I used to have a little pride flag wallet on my keychain and then I got followed home by multiple trucks after making a quick stop at Walmart. I got a new wallet the next day. I was 17 when that happened. I was one of the quiet kids in school and I listened to everything around me. I heard a lot of things that made me feel unsafe. I remember one of my teachers had us debate the ethics of allowing trans people in sports and only 3 people argued for trans athletes myself included. It sucked.

But now I’m here. I’m on the opposite side of my state in this is very open and very supportive community. Granted all it takes is about a 10-15 minute drive to be back in that territory but for a majority of my time I’m in an environment where I’m not 1 of 5 trans kid but 1 of hundreds. I know I’m safe. I know I’m not the only trans person my professors or coworkers have met.

I am still afraid. I’m afraid I’ll lose my job. I know this isn’t true because one of my coworkers is an openly trans woman. I’m afraid I’ll be followed home again.

And then I’m asked “why don’t you correct people?” It was actually my coworker who asked me this. I’m not upset with her, I told her she could ask whatever she wanted and I was happy to answer for her. It’s just…put a lot of things into perspective I hadn’t really thought about.

This year specifically for some reason I've also been thinking a lot about my gender. Tried a few different pronouns, got my first binder, realized I get top surgery and start T one day. Yet that one question for just a moment made me question everything. Made me stop and go "am I really nonbinary because I don't correct people?"

And I thought to myself "no that's silly" because if one of my friends ever purposefully misgendered me for no reason other than to not out me I'd feel wrong. Itchy. Because for a brief moment I considered using he/they pronouns and it just felt so wrong to be he. I am not a he or a she, I am a me. And idk that was really weird for me because I've never had that moment before. Granted I was never really in the space to explore my identity before but now that I have steady meals and my own little space my brain has been able to ponder.

I've been thinking about legally changing my name, but once again I am afraid. Doing it when I turn 21 in November would be easiest because I have to renew my ID anyways, but that means looking my parents in the eye and explaining. That would mean telling all my old lady coworkers at home why. That would mean telling my boss here why. And that scares me so much. Because once I do they'll look at me differently. But it would make my life so easy to be able to change my name before I graduate. Because then I can go into my career field as Rain and not [redacted]. Granted as a teacher I'll just be referred to by my last name 90% of the time which tbh is somehow worse than redacted?? Explain that one to me.

Idk this is a very long ramble that pretty much sums up to be I am nonbinary and I love being nonbinary but man is the brain a funky place.

[cepheusgalaxy]

Ok, your question was a bit vague, so if you want to detail it more I'll be able to give something more helpful, but generally speaking:

Basic terms for those who don't know:

Genderfluid: person whose gender isn't static

Gender dysphoria: Discomfort relating to one's gender, assigned sex or perceived gender (what gender people usually assume you are)

Gender euphoria: Joy relating to one's gender or perceived gender

Misgendering: When someone refers to you as the wrong gender or gendered terms (ie. calling a she/her a "dude")

1. How are they genderfluid?

Typically you would see your average genderfluid character alternating between Girl and Boy, but that are a bunch of ways someone can be genderfluid, as you may or not know. These ways may encompass how long does it take for the gender to switch (which can be very inconsistent too) or which or how many genders your character has at a given time. We have microlabels for that, but your character might just not use them.

So we have, genderfluid people who change gender very often, like once a day, or less often, like once every few months, genderfluid people who only change between masculine genders, only between xenogenders, between genders they can't really name, having two separate fluctuating genders at all time, genderflux people, etc. etc. It changes from person to person and it's something you might want to consider.

Tip: Looking for genderfluid micro-labels might help you here.

2. How to make it clear that they are genderfluid?

If you are writing with a 1st person PoV for this specific character or a limited 3rd person PoV (and 2nd person too ig but i'm not very good at that) then you can just straight up write their gender changing, of course (telling instead of showing). They just probably won't notice it everytime. Gender is a bit tricky and it doesn't wait for us to happen, usually. So in that case you can have them be "oh, wait, when i woke up i noticed i was a girl but now i went to check again and im nonbinary. ok", or rely on the dysphoria (if they have any)/euphoria aspect, which you can show through any of the other characters' eyes as well.

Example: Caracter A is genderfluid, and character B is your PoV character at the moment. Character A was wearing a very nice new dress they got, and B could tell they were really happy in it, until A started looking a bit upset. A then uses the first opportunity to change outfits and picks up their trousers, looking comfortable again.

If your audience is observant and it was already stabilished that your character is genderfluid, they'll probably pick up on that.

Then we have our "how to stabilish character A is genderfluid?"

We can Show the audience (by little things like the example above, which might be a little too subtle, so i'd avise you to pair that up with telling) or Tell them, by having a character come out to another, express their gender changed from A to B or have them correct when someone misgenders them (accidentally or not).

Also, there is no formula for characterization but something that I can think that would help with stabilishing that would be: At the beggining of their arc (when they're introduced in the story), Show first thing and then Tell the audience they're genderfluid. Throhough the middle and beyond, rely on the Show and sprinkle some Tell every now and then so your audience doesn't forget that information.

I mean, that's obviously just a way of doing it, so you might want to use that info to figure other ways of using Show and Tell to characterize them.

Examples of showing vs. telling a character is genderfluid:

Telling:

Character A introduces themselves saying they're genderfluid, [insert genderfluid microlabel], "my gender changes" or "my pronouns change"

Other characters introduce them as genderfluid

Character A comes out as genderfluid

Character A makes some mention that their gender changes

Showing

Character A wears a genderfluid pride pin

Character A's friends ask them what their gender is with some consistency

Character A expresses their gender changed (or wears pronoun pins or other alternative to them, like pronoun bracelets to indicate that)

Character A internally cringes when somebody misgenders them

Their PoV changes the pronouns they use for themselves every now and then

Applying that

There are not many genderfluid characters out there, but the more proeminent examples I can think of are Alex Fierro from Magnus Chase and The Gods Of Asgard, Nimona from the movie with the same name, and Osana Najimi from Komi Can't Communicate.

Examples with Tell with these characters: When Alex's friend, Magnus, asks what is her gender, and she takes a moment thinking and then answers; Najimi corrects people when someone refers to them by the wrong gendered terms.

Examples with Show with these characters: Nimona is characterized as having a very fluid relationship with her gender throhough the movie and denying any attempt people around her make of categorizing her in a gender box.

I myself have a genderfluid character, Voile. They use pronoun bracelets with different colors to indicate how people should refer to them at a given time, and correct people when they misgender them. But Quin, another genderfluid oc, is a little more reserved on correcting people so she just internally cringes and lets things slide.

TL;DR: Use a mix of showing and telling.

and now, last but not least, because you might also want to consider that:

3. How does your character's genderfluidity affect them?

Between dysphoria, euphoria, and worrying about not being accepted, everything together is going to make your character a little bit different than your ocs who have a static gender, along with their unique perspective that comes with having a fluid relationship with it. A lot of trans people also have a different relatonship with gender, as you know, so that'll also apply to your genderfluid characters.

That won't come up everytime and you don't need to force yourself to touch on that, but it's something to consider (specially the dysphoria/euphoria part: maybe making a list of what causes it for them might help)

Any doubts?

Oh great gender fluid gods, how do I write a gender fluid character without being disrespectful but still making it clear that the character is gender fluid?

as an author I like actually have no idea

[tsunderedoctor]

sadly, purple, im back with another emergency request (i wish i didnt come so often im so sorry)

its another day where i can't eat. and ive been so emotionally drained im sleeping more than i usually do, which is only making my appetite worse.

i have a horrible relationship with food and sleep. and it's insanely hard to deal with alone.

i will ask for my usual group (cause im unoriginal 😭😭😭 im gonna wear you out on them one day)

so that's luffy and sanji, but could i mix it up a little? can i also add robin and nami? with a reader dealing with this?

It's okay to request emergency asks, don't feel bad love!! I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time right now, but please remember all the good things you've accomplished too!! And I hope these babes help to remind you, you deserve to eat too!!❤️❤️ Reader is gender neutral!

putting a tw for eating disorder and depression!!

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy loves to eat! So seeing you struggle with not wanting to eat truly confuses the brunet. He will watch you curiously, finally understanding that you won’t eat because you are sad, which will prompt the young man to bombard you with question on what’s wrong and who does he need to attack?

“Who did it? What did they say?”

If it was no one and you were just experience these emotions due to a lovely chemical imbalance, he will conclude your heart is the enemy and needs to be attacked in love!

Will happily give you all the physical affection you can handle with pouty lips when you first say you aren’t worthy of them. Wrapping his arms around you, he will quickly snicker, reminding you how amazing you are!

Puts his hat on your head as he eats, holding you in his lap with his outstretched arms still wrapped around you. If he even hears a grumble from your stomach, it’s on! Will mention how delicious Sanji’s food is and how hungry he is! Little things to make you finally give in and eat with him. Once you do give in, he will laugh once more, telling you how proud he is of you!

“Hehe~ good job, Y/N!”

Vinsmoke Sanji

He does know what it’s like to not feel good enough for things, especially good food. However, he also has a special relationship with food, and will get a bit sassy with you when you refuse to eat, especially if you tell him you aren’t worthy of food.

“What do you mean you aren’t worthy? What the hell does that mean?”

He means well, he just worries, if you happen to cry or get more depressed from his words, his attitude does a 180 and now he is begging you to eat and for forgiveness.

After some much needed talking, you both come with an agreement to try little bits of food here and there, as long as you try, he is happy!! Will swoon when you try eating more than usual and give you lots of hug and praises!!

“Y/N-swannn~~ you ate all the food I made!!” 

Might have nosebleeds from all the love and pride he has for you when you eat! Don’t take it personal, it just shows how much you mean to him!! He will do his best to cover them and smile happily at you for trying your best for him!

Nico Robin

Robin is probably the best to go to when you are feeling down and don’t want to eat. She is logical, but she also understands that the brain can be mean and emotional. The best for quality time when you just want to vent out your frustrations and don’t need advice, just a hand in your hair or on your back as she listens quietly.

She might try to manipulate you however if it gets to the point where you can’t eat and you are getting physically sick. it’s in good nature, but however, this is when she can’t convince you, so her more darker nature on human interactions come out.

“It breaks my heart when you don’t eat, I’m not sure how I can handle seeing you fade away from me.”

Once you decide to eat again, she will reward you with smiles and praises, complimenting you on how amazing you are and how much you mean to her. She isn’t one for her words, so just hearing those praises can be enough to move mountains. 

If anyone even tries to mention your eating habits or depression, they are given a dirty look from the dark haired woman. If looks could kill they need to run, if it was more accidental however, her look will die down to a smile, asking the person not to say things like that again.

“Please leave Y/N alone, they don’t need to hear such conversations.”

“Cat Burglar” Nami

Nami is similar to Sanji in reacting. She means well, but it aggravates her when it comes to your health and wellbeing. She cares about you and wants you to be safe, she doesn’t want to think of you getting hurt or possibly die from not taking care of yourself.

Will go to Chopper or Robin for advice on how to approach the situation, as her hot-headedness isn’t helping the situation. Will take any advice that is given to her, if it truly becomes to the point your health is on the line, Chopper will also step in and try to coax you.

“I’m sorry, I know I snapped at you, but it’s because I’m worried about you, please eat something, please.”

Once you start to eat more, she will gift you with smiles and small items that reminded her of you. She’s a gift giver, so she wants to show you how much the little things you are doing mean to her! If you need praise or physical affection as well, she will do her best, expect a bit of a blush from the tsundere woman!

“Good job, there I said it, don’t look at me like that! It’s embarrassing!”

Will hold your hand and give you a happy squeeze before and after meals, just to let you know she is here for you! Just don’t look at her or you might end up seeing her blush and frustrated face, she’s doing her best!!

A pen pals assistant - Gorou

Alrighty so this is gonna be more fluff than angst lol! It'll have a tad bit I promise it won't be much, gender neutral reader, reader is a dog hybrid! It's long as hell lol, a fluffy ending

Being a part Labrador hybrid made you particularly open to Yae Mikos teasing. When you first started working alongside her, she touched your ears and coo'ed about how adorable and friendly you were, you whining lightly in protest before she chuckles to herself and lets you get on with your work. Initially, people would tell you off for not working fast enough, to which you begin to look down at your feet before your boss would stride over, a smile on her face before scolding the complainer for talking down to the mascot of the bookstore, stroking your droopy ears as she did so.

People learned to either be patient enough with you, or they would simply get someone else to help.

Life was nice for you, with Yae acting almost as an owner of yours as she would walk around with you when you were having your breaks, treating you when you were especially good. You even had your own bed by the grand narukami shrine. The shrine maiden's don't question it, they're just happy you aren't being an inconvenience to them.

One day, Yae Miko asks you to personally deliver some books to Watatsumi Island, and to ask for her excellency herself. Thinking nothing of it, you nod, part of you looking forward to seeing another part of Inazuma.

The boat ride is, thankfully, uneventful, every now and then someone asking you about your ears and even a kid asking if they were fluffy. You giggle to yourself and let the kid stroke an ear, a prideful smile in your face when you hear the kid gasp and let out an 'mummy, it's so cozy!'

Arriving is where you start to get some people that treated you the same way they would without knowing you were a favourites of Yae Miko.

"Aww, look at that Labrador!" A soldier mocks, their friend huffing out before shaking their head.

"Less of that. What brings you here?" The friend cuts to the chase without mentioning your non human attributes.

"I was sent here to deliver some books to her Excellency!" You respond, finding yourself standing to attention.

"Aww, they're acting like- ow!" The friend starts again, only to get jabbed in the side by the others elbow. "I'll stop, damn." They utter under their breath.

"Her Excellency is currently preoccupied with a meeting. I can escort you to her quarters, and someone will be there to let you in." The more respectful soldier explains, you following behind with Kokomis books pressed up against your chest.

--

You thank the soldier for walking you, to which they nod and bow before wishing you the best, returning to their post as you stand awkwardly.

"Who are you?" You let a voice almost growl out. Looking up, you see another hybrid. Trying to hide your initial excitement at meeting the man, you clear your throat.

"I was asked to hand deliver these books to Her Excellency." You respond.

"Well, I can take them to her for you-" the man starts to explain, only to stand to attention when hearing the door open.

"Ah, you must be the person delivering the books, based on your description." Kokomi begins, walking over until she's stood next to Gorou.

You nod eagerly, smiling as you hand the books over. The man with her grabs the books instead, you furrowing your brows out of confusion before feeling Kokomi begin to stroke your ear. Your eyes begin to close out of the comfort, only to open them when you hear her laugh.

"Apologies, my penpal told me you liked having your ears stroked. Thank you for delivering these books, im sure your master will reward you generously." Kokomi confesses, you smiling as you knew exactly who this penpal was.

"What's your routine with your petting?" The man asks. "Your other ear looks like it's been mauled."

You droop for a moment, only to pipe up again, chipper as ever.

"Oh, there was this sweet kid on the boat ride here! They wanted to feel my ear, so I let them!" You excitedly explain, tail eagerly wagging.

"Really?" The man asks, trying his best to hold back a wince. "You aren't actually a full blown dog, you know?" He states, crossing his arms.

"General Gorou!" Kokomi gasps out of horror.

You shrug it off, not as animated as you were seconds before.

"Ah, don't worry." You try to laugh nerves off. Maybe this wasn't a friend you could make. Oh well! "I guess I am a bit too friendly for my own good, huh?" You smile painfully.

"..."

"A-Anyway, I shall take my leave. Farewell!" You bow, back to your usual attitude.

--

The boat ride home is very much welcome to you, you realise. Your home was working for Yae Miko, someone who had the ability to put down people that would scold you for being overly friendly or too slow for their own liking then trying to find a certain book.

Looking down after feeling a dog nuzzling against your leg, you slowly extend a hand, inviting it to be pet by you. After a few licks of your hand, the dog gladly lets you give it a good ruffle up.

You can't help but feel happy when seeing the dog waggle its tail out of you, your tail wagging as well.

Yae Miko waits eagerly for your return, looking forward to seeing how you got on with Gorou. As much as she teased Gorou, she couldn't help but think you two would be a good couple.

Seeing you, she immediately knew something happened. Usually, you would run with all your might, jumping eagerly as you exclaimed your arrival.

This time?

You walk off the boat in a significantly more professional manner, almost like you're holding back from letting your usual actions out. Furrowing her brows, Yae Miko decides to just take you straight home.

After bathing for the night, you're almost in bed. Before you can sleep, however, you see Yae Miko there.

"Hello there." She smiles warmly. "How was your stay in Watatsumi Island?" She asks, looking forward to finding out what happened.

"Her Excellency was kind!" You say, not wanting to talk about Gorou.

"Well," Yae Miko starts, trailing off in thought. "Have a good night's rest."

--

The next few weeks pass by, and word spreads that you seem...sad.

Kids start to show up more often, sometimes with Yoimiya with them to try and cheer you up to no avail. After the kids go away home, Yoimiya asks Yae Miko if she could thing of any other way to get you back in your usual mood.

Looking at the retreating kids, she had an amazing idea.

--

The next day, Yae Miko gives you a task.

"Today, you'll be reading a children's book to the kids!" Yae miko cheers. You find yourself smiling eagerly, before starting to control your excitement. "Now, there's no need to hold back. It's part of your charm." She explains.

Getting a walk to the small picnic set out, you're surprised to see not only the village kids, but you also see Itto and Thoma. Thoma explains that he was told to make sure nothing goes wrong, a worried look at Yae Miko as he speaks, and Itto explains that he was there to help you get your previous attitude back.

--

Meanwhile, Gorou was making his way to the bookshop, a list of books in hand to get. When he spots you, he find himself becoming curious.

Getting closer, he notices you're sitting in a group, you excitedly and animatedly reading to the kids. The kids gasp at a part of the story, asking if the dog was going to be okay. Itto was, unsurprisingly, sitting in a similar fashion. Thoma? Well, he was...there.

Thoma glances over, spotting Gorou before he finds an excuse before running off to get Yae Miko. Something about forgetting he needed to do something?

Gorou chooses to just get the book collection done with, walking by before anyone could call out for him.

Arriving at the bookstore, Gorou hands over the list. In response, he gets a stack of papers.

"I'm sorry, but you'll need to answer these questions before I can give you those books."

Looking at the first paper, Gorou winxes.

Ah, the advice section he writes. He thanks the person for giving him something to burn the time, walking to a quiet spot to fill out the papers.

--

Gorou sits down, tail curled by his side as he begins to look through the letters. Most of them were simple enough for him to answer, partially due to how often he writes responses to these people's questions.

Then he gets an odd feeling about one letter.

The letter asks about how to cheer someone up, but the description reminded him of you. A once lively, happy and friendly person who's seemed to be down in the dumps. Before he could start to write a reply, his ears perk up.

Oh no.

"Oh, there you are, little one." Yae Miko purrs. Gorou groans inwardly, preparing for the usual teasing. "I have a bone to pick with you." She states, now leaning down to whisper into his ear.

Gorou sits up straight, looking straight ahead out of fear.

"A friend of mine has informed me of a comment you made." She tuts. "My poor assistant was hurt deeply by what you told them." She huffs out.

Gorou sits in an uncomfortable silence before he decides to speak up.

"I apo-"

"uh uh uh!" Yae Miko tuts. "You have to make amends with my dear assistant. You may have made a grave error, but I'm sure after spending some alone time together will bring you to the same conclusion I have." Yae Miko states, walking away.

Gorou looks over to ask what the conclusion was, only to be met by a light, menacing giggle. Shaking his head, he turns back to the papers.

--

Gorou finally completed the letters after a few hours, and all he has to do is return the papers to the person that gave them to him. Then, he could go back home and continue his usual work.

When he realises you're the only person working at the time, he winces before approaching you with the papers. You're animated with your actions, keeping the kids entertained as you all talk about the story that was told on the day. Your smile was infectious, all the kids beaming as brightly as you did as your tail swished with excitement at seeing the kids happy.

Gorou hopes to find someone else, but he knows fine we'll Yae Miko was responsible for this, clearly wanting him to apologise to you instead of just disappear from your life before he could even fade in.

After the kids parents finally convince them to return home for dinner, you stand up. Looking over, your smile wipes off in record time, your tail slowly grinding to a halt as you resist the urge to be outgoing.

"..."

"..."

"How can I help?" You state, a welcoming tone that shakes when you take note of Gorous discomfort.

"Im done with these letters." Gorou begins, handing the papers over.

"..."

"Alright. Thank you." You respond, walking somewhere to place the papers down. You emerge after a while, and you're looking in confusion as Gorou stands there awkwardly.

"..."

"Is there anything else I can assist you with?" You ask, feeling yourself grow nervous.

"The books." Gorou states. Seeing you furrow your brows in confusion, Gorou goes to open his mouth to tell you off only to see Yae Miko standing behind the building, glaring at the man. "I gave a list of books Kokomi wanted."

"Oh, um..." You look back, seeing no such books. You do, however, see a letter addressed to Gorou. "I think this letter is for you." You hand the letter over.

Gorou grasps the letter, only to pale at the words.

Kokomi herself gave Gorou orders to mend ties with you, stating that if he was needed for an emergency he would get informed.

"Are you alright?" You ask, rushing over as you check Gorous temperature with the back of your hand.

--

You don't expect Gorou to treat you to a meal, but you were rather hungry. Usually, you would eat with your superior, however you figured you may as well try and gain some independence. The both of you eat in uncomfortable silence, trying to figure out what to say.

"I'm sorry." Gorou states.

You look over at the man, who was now making eye contact with you.

"I... Don't know why you're apologising." You admit. "You were right. I need to stop being so childish." You start, your tail curling in more towards yourself.

"That's not true." Gorou huffs out."

"..."

"Well, thank you for eating with me tonight." Gorou states. "Can we maybe hang out tomorrow?"

You reluctantly nod, a part of you hoping you could be friends with a fellow hybrid.

--

The next day, you show up for work, seeing the kids eagerly waiting for you. Your tail wags, forgetting about the comment Gorou made weeks back when you first met him.

"Hey guys!" You cheer, the kids jumping with excitement. "What do you want to do today? Something fun?" You suggest, a beaming smile on your face. The kids cheer in response, saying they want to catch butterflies. You nod, agreeing that did sound very fun before following them.

On your way to the open field, you see Gorou approaching, jogging towards you.

"Uncle Gorou!" The kids cheer. You notice Gorous tail is wagging with a mile excitement he couldn't hold back, and you couldn't help but smile at the man's antics. "We're going to chase butterflies!" The kids exclaim, begging for Gorou to join them.

"Oh! Mind if I join you?" Gorou looks at you with a full smile. The kids look up at you, eager for you to let Gorou join.

"The more the merrier!" You say, Gorous tail wagging more eagerly than it already was. Catching sight of a set of butterflies, you point, letting the kids get the first set before joining them, Gorou following suit.

After 30 minutes of chasing butterflies, catching them safely and allowing them to fly free after the fun, you find yourself getting slightly competitive with Gorou, arguing who was faster.

"Hey, I got that butterfly first!" You pout playfully, Gorou gasping out.

"No way! I only let you catch that butterfly!" Gorou protests, clearly going along with your little play.

"Well, there's only one way to settle this!" You huff out playfully, pouting at Gorou as he gives you a knowing look.

"A race!" The kids cheer.

After a race, you find yourself chasing Gorou when he claims you merely got lucky because he tripped over a rock that didn't exist. The kids all said you won fairly, and Gorou whines out before letting out a 'fine' before getting back to normal.

"Well, that's our time for today kids!" You sigh out, light protests before asking if you were going to be around tomorrow. Of course, you reassure them that you'll always have time for them.

The kids walk away, and you turn to see Gorou, who seemed like he still wanted to play.

"You have 5 seconds to run." Gorou smirks, sprinting stance ready. Your tail wags eagerly, and you start to map your escape route. After a few seconds, you hear Gorous footsteps behind you.

Weaving between trees and boxes, you look back with a cheeky smile as Gorou gives a menacing yet friendly grin as he runs after you. To Gorous surprise, you were actually able to keep a reasonable distance from him.

You turn to look where you're going, only to see you're starting to run into a very open space. You wouldn't be able to rely on dodging trees anymore, and you realise Gorou had more training with agility. While you had that innate agility to being part Labrador, you still didn't have the extensive training.

After running a few more steps, you realise Gorous stopped running. You turn, expecting him to be standing there, only to get a jump when you realise Gorou had decided to spring at you, tackling you into the ground. You yelp out of surprise, only to start laughing along with Gorou after realising you were spent either way.

You look up at Gorou, who gave you a beaming smile.

"I win!" Gorou cheers. You nod, looking at the generals ears. Reaching out a hand, you find yourself starting to reach for his ears, only to stop yourself. Gorou pulls your hands back, giving you a reassuring look.

"Pet my ears. Please!" Gorou begs. You touch his ears, and you can't help but smile when Gorou closes his eyes out of contempt before he leans down slowly. You take the chance to really fluster him, closing the gap before your lips make contact.

To your delight, you don't feel Gorou jump. Actually, you feel him start to stroke your ears as well. You pull away after hearing someone clear their throat, only to be met with a smug Yae Miko.

"Aww, puppy love is so cute." She giggles to herself, seeing Gorous tail straighten up as he pulls away, only able to still look you directly in the eye.

As much as Gorou hated her teasing, he realises he would be happy to get teased if it meant being yours.

[equizona]

aaaa i am the anon that sent the bullying ask

im sorry, i didnt know you didnt recieve the ask, im so sorry for the inconvinience aaaa

i will send the full ask, but you can ignore it since you made something similar already!!

a teen!MC that before the devildom was bullied and insecure, but after returning to the human realm, their confidence was up the ROOF, because the pacts with 7 of their big bros protect them from anything

when their bullies start to mess with them again, they threat with summoning x brother, but the bullies just laugh it off like the 8th grade syndrome

something like,,

bully: what are you gonna do now, huh? summon a demon?

teen mc, beaten up: bet. *PACT MARL STARTS GLOWING*

UNTIL ONE DAY MC HAS HAD ENOUGH WITH THEIR SHIT AND SUMMONS ONE OF THE BROTHERS.

how would their big bros react?

i'm sorry again, have a nice day!!!

Note: I don't mind doing it again! Sorry for misunderstanding— And for the long wait, I've been pretty inactive on everything for a while. As I'm working this I've also lost my glasses again so I'm sad– I had very little inspiration for this though, so it's bad.

Fandom: Obey Me! Shall We Date?

Character(s): Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor

Scenario: Teen! MC summons the brothers after going back to the human world and getting bullied.

Reader: Gender-neutral

Warning(s): Spoilers for chapter 16-20, mentions of cannibalism, death, suicide, gore, violence.

→Lucifer

Lucifer doesn't like getting summoned. He's a busy demon, and has better things to do than have humans summon him around. That's probably another of the million reasons he never makes pacts with anyone.

He's made it clear that you should never summon him unless you absolutely have to. You learned that summoning him for a joke was not a good idea after Belphegor and Satan managed to convince you to try it at least once..

You'd never quite been very confident, but the exchange program had helped you a whole lot. (And fun fact, Lucifer's pact mark can be your own cheerleader, I swear— Touch it and you're suddenly filled with so much confidence and and pride it's—)

With a bloody nose the thought of summoning Lucifer, the second(Third? Is he stronger or weaker than Barbatos..?) strongest demon in existence against them seems very tempting..

So you do exactly that, and the glare that he gives everyone around him is enough to make your bullies not even think about the fact he appeared out of nowhere in a bunch of smoke.

"What is going on here MC?"

Someone who's bad at reading him would probably think he wants to kill you, but you know better and can clearly see the small signs of concern.

The second he knows the situation then.. Well, it won't be pretty.

Lucifer is scary, even in his human form, and he gives your bullies the deadliest glare he can manage, and it's a miracle they haven't turned around and made a break for it yet. Maybe they're scared of testing his patience? Who knows.

He'll lean in and tell them something in a hushed voice so that you can't hear what he's saying, but you can see the color slowly draining from their face.

He gives them a polite smile as he shoo's them off, turning around to you as he checks on your injuries, making sure you're alright.

He's definitely scolding you for getting hurt though. It kinda sucks but also it's kinda nice.

For some reason that you can most likely guess is Lucifer, they won't even go into the same class as you, and soon after they move schools.

→Mammon

Honestly? When he gets summoned he half thinks you're a witch trying to get him to pay his debt...

Then he realized it's you and he's just so happy but then he sees the blood and now he's freaking out and—

He takes a second to calm himself down, breathing in and out slowly as your bullies stare at him in disbelief.

The next seconds he's all over you, asking you questions that probably aren't even related to what's going on because you're hurt and he's stressed and when he stresses be panics—

When you explain the situation you're honestly scared at the dark look in his eyes.

Mammon isn't the type to lose control, so he'll just give your bullies a bright grin that almost has you believing it. He'll walk over and casually throw his arm around their shoulders, whispering something so you can't hear.

You are concerned about what he said though because whatever it was it worked better than what you had been expecting of the second born.

He'll make you ditch school to do something fun with him now that he's in the human world— He saved 'ya, so it's only fair, right? Right!

He tells you to pay but ends up paying because he wants to be the 'cool older brother' and if you try to question it he'll just start screeching incoherent things.

Well, least your bully problem is over?

They won't come close to you at all...

→Leviathan

MC how could you!? He was in the middle of a game and he was almost done with this super hard game—

Oh no he's outside.

Why would you do this to him!? You're such a normie! He doesn't want to be outside! This sucks, this isn't what he wants to be doing at all..

Then he sees your 'friends' and he gets jealous. Wasn't he supposed to be your best friend? He was the lord of shadows to your Henry God dammit!

Then when you tell him the situation..?

Leviathan isn't a stranger to bullying. Not a lot of people think he's fit to be the avatar of Envy, so he gets a lot of shit from random demons and he knows how horrible it can be.

And yet there are people that are doing it to his MC? To his best friend and younger sibling?

Not on his watch.

He doesn't bother hiding what he's saying from you, unlike the previous two. He's saying some of the most hurrying threats you can imagine as he's showing off his fangs that are, keep in mind, impuded with one of the most painful and toxic poisons in the three realms.

Safe to say your bullies are a bit too scared to try and get near you again..

Well, why not watch some anime with him right? You no longer have to deal with the bullies, so do something fun with him! He's better, right? Yeah, so he'll take his favorite unoffical younger sibling to watch some anime.

→Satan

Hahaha— Why the hell would you summon the literal avatar of wrath? Do you want to get charged for murder?

If we go about this realistically he'd murder them on the spot, no hesitation. Like, summon him and he'll give you a curious glance.

Once he's aware of what's happening..

He'll get fucking livid, because how dare they? That's his younger sibling and he'll kill them right fucking now—

Either use your pact to stop him once he's beaten the shit out of them, or just let him kill them. It's your choice.

He really won't listen if you say it normally, since he'll be lost in a fit of rage, so be careful—

He'll feel a bit bad that you might be traumatized after that, though he doesn't feel shit for the ones he actually beat the shit out of—

Should have known better than to fuck with the unofficial younger sibling of wrath embodiment.

→Asmodeus

Please, Asmodeus values his manicure more than he values a fight. There's no way he'd get physical with them.

He'll probably just jump at you the second you summon him, shouting about happy he is to see his 'cute little sibling.'

When he notices the situation he'll probably just charm your bullies to leave, and to leave you alone.

He's just going to drag you away after that, determined to spend as much time with you as he can until Lucifer comes and fetches him. He missed you, you know? You missed him too, right? Of course you did, it's him!

You didn't notice the demonic claws that were held to the throat of your bullies.

→Beelzebub

Aaa, Beelzebub, Beelzebub, Beelzebub..

Look, Beelzebub is naturally really protective of his family. He loves them more than anything in the world, and that feeling was just doubled after Lilith's death.

Since you're a human, he's even more protective of you than he is with the others. (It's to be expected. You're a fragile human, their mostly capable demons. He's afraid one day he'll lose you to something small.)

So he'll probably panic the second you summoned him, fearing the worst and that maybe he was too late and should have followed you up to the human realm—

If he smells your blood he's a step away from giving into Satan's sin and breaking just about everything around him.

When he sees your mostly fine he'll calm down, but honestly if your bullies haven't ran away yet I feel bad for them.

Assuming that they haven't, —even if they probably did after seeing this huge guy show up from nowhere— He'll probably just eat them.

He's a bit hungry, so why not get rid of someone who's hurting his family while soothing his hunger? Win-win.

He'll understand if you don't want to get traumatized by that though, so he'll stop if you ask him.

You can assume safely that he'll find them afterwards though, he has a keen sense of smell and he remembers their face. They won't survive, their death will only be postponed.

→Belphegor

Belphegor is very protective too. He's not generally a very protective person, unlike his twin brother, but with you it's different.

He's already hurt you so much, and he doesn't want you to get hurt again ever.

Still, he's a bit annoyed that you woke him from his nap. He's tired MC, he's tired.

He's sharp though, and he's going to understand the situation really quickly. He won't even spare them a second glance, just guide you away from them.

He'll give them a threatening smile as he flashes both his claws and fangs at them, and they won't get near you again after that.

Why would he bother doing something that might get messy if he can just enter their dreams and make them do it themselves, right?

He's not above driving someone to suicide, they should have known better.

Anyway, MC, he's tired and you dragged him away from his nap so now you're obligated to nap with him

[dog-teeth]

Hiii please don't answer if this question is too much but I was wondering what your experience as a trans person existing is like? Rn I'm cis passing and low-key making me miserable but the anxiety of how I would b treated in the world is so so so scary so I guess is it hard? Are you treated any different? Especially the non-binary thing bc that's me too <3

haiii as always i write fucken essays so its below the cut lol

well first of all i can only speak to my own experience, which is obvs influenced by the other parts of my life like my location/class/race/sexuality/personality/etc, it difficult/impossible to distill what "being trans" is like without factoring in everything else.

but anyways, i'm extremely lucky to have had the security to come out and be open about my transness since i'm surrounded by really excellent people. when i came out i was 14 and didn't know any other trans people, and it sucked, but i feel like even in just the past 6ish years there's a LOT more visibility for trans people than there was back then, and obvs i was young and had a lot less personal autonomy at the time. but my friends were all really cool about it and my parents were chill as well, and i went to a good high school where my teachers were respectful (i got misgendered by other students but once they were aware of me being trans they usually stopped) so i honestly didn't face that much external difficulty because of my gender.

the period between coming out and medically transitioning was rough a lot of the time tho, just because of the frustration of trying to be seen a certain way and the world never seeing you that way, at times it felt futile to even try and for a long time i really wished i wasn't trans, because being trans had never brought me any joy, so i didn't have pride in it the way i could with my sexuality, as it had only ever caused me pain (whereas my queer sexuality had lead me to love, sex, community, etc). but those were internally-driven feelings, not anything specific in how i was treated except for generally living in a world that didn't see me as myself, but that's also true when ur not out. it took a lot of fighting to be seen, and learning how to make myself happy.

since coming out, though, its been really really amazing. meeting & connecting with other trans people, dating other trans people, helping other people figure out their gender identities by being myself around them, making art about being trans, etc, is very rewarding, and obvs u can do that without being "out" too.

emotionally its very fulfilling, like jesus christ medically transitioning once i was an adult was so fucking awesome. i hadnt realized how much not being visible as my gender to other people was holding me back and distressing me until it stopped. even though i had socially transitioned earlier and been respected by people around me, it wasnt until i went on hrt and had top surgery that i felt really really good about existing as a trans person, when i could exist at any time in any space in any clothes and be seen how i wanted to be seen, and felt like my body was as it should be.

i don't really get treated differently tbh, most people don't readily assume ppl are trans so upon meeting me people just think im a queer guy, and i only bring up being trans when i want to & feel ok doing so. being nonbinary some people are bad about using my pronouns but i honestly dont care much. every once in a while i have to explain gender stuff to people but again i dont mind. its def more annoying than if i was a binary trans person but meh.

there's some annoying/anxiety-inducing stuff like dealing with extended family, doctors appointments, legal documents, and situations where i feel like i have to try to be Stealth, but those are rare compared to my everyday life where i'm genuinely just vibing.

i completely respect trans people who don't want to be out for whatever reason, but personally i've found it to be very rewarding and i can only imagine how miserable i'd be if i couldn't be open about my gender.

tldr; it's hard while you're figuring yourself out, but if the people around you are generally good, it's extremely awesome to be able to be yourself and transition!

💞 MC is a Genshin Simp 💞

=====

{ AN: Omg! This is my first ask so thank you anon (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)/!! This is such a vibe too haha, I hope you like it! } Warnings: None [Maybe Refs and Chars you wont get if you dont play Genshin Impact] * Probably a bit OOC too *

Reader: Gender-Neutral [Default]

( ⓛ ω ⓛ *)

========

< Genshin Impact was a game that took the human realm by storm, with its open-world gameplay, its competitive PvE and aesthatic settings, it was truly something that captured you the moment the beta was announced. Although, as with any Gacha games, you weren’t only attracted to the world and its setting.

No no.

The characters were truly the main eye candy of the game. You’d been worried that when you had been sucked into Devildom, you wouldn’t be able to access the game due to, yknow, realm differences, but luckily that wasn’t the case thanks to Levi, and hence why the moment it dropped, you had been spending your life savings simping for characters on every banner.

Yknow theres handsome bois in devildom too... Theyre just kinda waiting for you to put your game down for a moment and kinda notice em ～((Φ◇Φ)‡ >

------

ฅ⁽͑ ˚̀ ˙̭ ˚́ ⁾̉ฅ Lucifer

He usually doesn’t mind you playing games

Although, He would’ve preferred if you didn’t cause you kinda need to focus on your studies yknow?

But hey he’s not stopping you

Usually you would stay with him as he works, but he can’t seem to focus with you constantly begging beside him

Small little ‘please’ would be heard every now and then, and a sudden look of disappointment would show on your face.

He tried to ignore it, even giving little cues for you to quiet down, like clearing his throat

You didnt seem to pick up the hint though

He was just about to ask you what you were doing in the first place that has you praying beside him (which is hella rude) but your scream of happiness has him a little more irked and kinda taken back

“LUCIFER! I GOT HIM! LOOK LOOK I GOT HIM!”

You show him the screen showing your pull results

The character held a giant claymore with bright red hair

Before he can get another word in, you snatch your phone back and just sigh as if youd just had a heavenly (ironic) experience and mumble

“I seriously love him, Im so happy...”

Bro same though, Diluc pls come home

You were truly one of a kind, because youve just managed to break the Avatar of Pride’s... well.... Pride.

Did he just get cucked by a man in a video game?

Truly outrageous.

He seems to scoff and holds back a bit of an eye roll as he tries to focus back on his work

But boy oh boy, his salt is high

“If you are going to be causing a ruckus MC, May i suggest you doing it with Levi instead, I have no time for such games. I dont see why youre so caught up in such a character anyways, he looks quite basic.”

His words were sharp, and that was enough to shake you out of your fangirl/boy mode.

You were literally ready to fight the first born, a literal fucking fallen angel, for dissing Diluc like that

like

how dare

But then you notice how he seems to avoid your gaze and a small little red tint was on the tip of his ears.

Lucifer wouldve wanted to see you that happy with him, but no, a game character steals that spotlight.

Angey.

Instead of being intimidated by the sudden coldness, you giggle and finally close your phone and set it aside

You can continue celebrating and bragging about it later, for now, you wrap your arms around his arm and give him a small smooch on the cheek, which definitely makes him blush a tad bit

“Awww Luci dont be like that, Yknow I love you more”

Potential apocalypse has been diverted

But Lucifer does smile the smallest of smiles as he sighs, finding it silly to really get jealous over such a small thing and says

“I love you too, my dear... but you do have to make up for distracting me from my work...”

Well you kinda deserve it, so it wasnt long before both his work and your phone had been ditched

( After a while you do kinda see him quite similar to Diluc and it just makes you smile everytime you think about it, seems you have a thing for the strict cold men huh?)

===

Σ(‘◉⌓◉’) Mammon

Why you simping for a fictional character when you already have him?!

He’s your first man!

Your homie!

“Yeah well hes my first 5* so can you blame me?”

S A D N E S S

But for real, this man is just so clingy

He has heard from Levi that you were playing a new game from the human world, and of course, he had wanted to see what it was about by watching you play.

But since it was quite grind-heavy gacha game, he grew a bit bored and asked you to come with him to hang out somewhere else, or even go to the casino and gamble his money away cause he just got goldie back

But no matter what he suggests, you were just so focused on your grinding.

He’d prefer a different kinda grinding right about now with how lonely he is, ya feel me?

But no, you still werent interested.

“Oi! Cmon MC, whats even so important about this?”

“I already told you Mammon, Im grinding for primogems from the event! Theyre gonna be gone soon and I just HAVE to get them! Ugh I swear to Diavolo, if I dont, Imma cry! I didnt get him on their first banner too... ugh!”

Wait no--

Cmon he doesnt want you to cry!

Mammon kinda stays silent for a bit as he watches you struggle to fight the monsters with your low level team, frustration growing on your face.

But as you finish, Mammon seems to snatch your phone

“Hey! whats the big deal Mammon?!”

“Shut up and show me where the store is geez”

Mammon’s demands kinda surprises you and you raise an eyebrow at him, but you do show where it was, and sit back for a while as Mammon just fiddles around with it. You werent sure what he was doing honestly, was he interested? Did you say anything that made him act this way? All you talked about the game was the gacha system so--

oh…

OH

“Mammon! Wait you dont have to---”

“There! I got you as much primo things, or whatever theyre called”

He already has tossed you your phone back and he crossed his arms, looking away as the red blush covers most of his cheeks.

You look at your phone and you honestly felt your heart speed up and stop at the same time at the amount of primos on your account, it was enough for a full 180 pull! If you dont get the limited character on the first 50-50, you have another shot!

You felt your own heart speed up and your face burn so hard, but you do mumble him a quick “But... But why though?”

“Cuz! If you start cryin’ Lucifer’s gonna beat my ass! Dont think I did it for you, you human! I just dont want him taking away Goldie again!”

“But I thought this was your gambling money, isnt it?”

“w-well!... I mean... Hmph.. Gachas kinda like gambling right?, I know Lucifers gonna hang me if he catches me in the casino again anyways, so I thought I might as well just do this... with you...or whatever...” Hes dying, help

But so are you!

Hes too fucking cute and you just glomp him and just hug him as tight as you can!!

Flusterred boi 100

But you do spend you afternoon on his lap, both of you rolling the full 180 in excitement, whether you get that boi/gal you simped for on the banner or not, you still were happy to spend some time with Mammon

He doesnt mind losing a bit of cash for you

but you do promise to pay him back (maybe with a few kissy)

But to be honest, Gacha probably will help him with his gambling addiction...

kinda...

He doesnt go to casinos anymore but he does whale with you now

Lucifer has such a mix feeling with these results.

But he still confiscates Goldie and your card on the end, yall need to chill.

====

ヽ(。_°)ノ Leviathan

He probably wasn’t even interested on the game at first

He already has enough games to play, and it just looks like another rip off of some other game he saw not too long ago with that elf looking guy

But when you came to him asking for his help to get the game, you bet your ass that he felt a switch click

Suddenly it was incredibly interesting!

You do share your interests to him almost immediately

By interests, of course i mean the peeps you simp for

The sexy ara ara in the library of mondstat, the pirate looking ass of the guards, the pirate looking ass’s brother thats a wine owner and still highkey reminds you of Lucifer, the demon slayer--- You were actually unsure if you should talk about Xiao but hey hes cool

You explain it all!

From their lore to their voice lines and whatever

But honestly what do you expect from the Avatar of Envy?

Of course hes gonna be a bit jealous! He cant compare to any of these characters! Hes not as witty as that eye patch man, hes not as sophisticated as that red head, hes not as flirty as that ara ara either!

As you go on, you notice that Levi was kinda... half listening....

It made you pout, but then, it made you worried

Uh-oh you know that look

its that, ‘im overthinking’ look

So to snap him out of it, you kinda grab his face as gently as you can

“Need Grimm for your thoughts?”

He flushes and he immediately looks away, but you usher him to look at you as you coo and ask him whats wrong

It takes a bit till he kinda explains to you how hes feeling

In your relationship, you both were practicing being more open with each other, hence why you were proud of Levi for saying it

but you did feel kinda sad and frowned as he finishes explaining

“You... feel jealous?”

“Ugh d-dont say it out loud normie....”

He covers his face with his arm and you just cant help but shake your head with a fond smile, but you do need to address this and comfort him.

“Levi... when you fanboy about Ruri chan, did you ever think she was better than me?”

Your question made him frown and look at you in absolute worry

Did you actually think that you were below Ruri chan?

Of course hes an absolute simp for Ruri but.. cmon

Now that he thinks about it, he does talk about her a lot doesnt he? oh no...

“MC O-Of course not! I love Ruri chan yes, but you... I... I Love... you more...” Levi exe do be dying

But you smile at his response and gently kisses his cheek

“I think thats sweet Levi... But thats how I am too... Youre still better than any of these characters, youre real and they arent, youre mine and I am yours~ Youre my personal 5 star!” You wink at him and Levi just dips

his heart couldnt handle the cuteness and he died, ladies and gentlemen

but for real he did pass out

Must be from all the blood on his head from the blush

But ah, he does get it, and after being showered with love from you, He kinda slowly got over his jealousy

its not immediate but with simple reassurances, you can manage to reel him in and have fun with you

He does end up enjoying the game cause he gets to spend time with you, and he gets to show off when events happen 

He also goes out of his way to memorize locations for materials for you, and when youre sick or busy, he pilots your account

true gamer

But ironically enough hed probably start simping for a character too and of course, you both start bonding over that, which just makes Levi absolutely happy

I wonder if hed simp for Barbara, she is an idol afterall like Ruri chan

Probably lowkey for now

Afterall she looks like a minor so-----

( I dunno i searched shes 16-18 lol )

But regardless, I can imagine you both just cosplaying each others fav characters too

Its a wack looking ship cosplay but yall just simp for each other cause of it, its pretty fun but the rest of the brothers just finds it hella weird

----

I only have energy for these 3 as always, Im sorry! But i promise Ill do the rest!! I hope you guys do enjoy, and Id love some feedback on the characters personalities cause I know they can be a bit Ooc, But feel free to send me an ask! Im pretty open lol 〜(￣△￣〜)

[inosukeslefttoe]

SO i just finished wonder egg priority and i think that with confidence i can say it has been one of my favorite animes like... ever ?? and not even from hyperfixation or obsession over it just... its so fucking real yet so simple in a way that i havent rlly seen shown in any other shows you feel ??

but first i wanna talk about how sexy the art and animation is real quick... HOMIE ITS SO GOOD LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT JUST... serotonin... the characters are all so unique and iconic and fun but not over the top in their designs yknow ??? they seem like regular every day girls but they stand out and theyre all sO CUTE !!!! also i love how the style is like this soft bubbly slice of life lookin stuff with bright happy colors and the most beautiful scenes you could find but they also have the SICKEST fight scenes complete with whimsical animal helpers and terrifying villains and crazy weapons unique to each character. and the animation. god DAMN shawty i am obsessed with everything in this show. i might make a post solely about the art later lol bc i wanna get into the other stuff.

so the themes in the show right ?? it starts just as this cute lil magical girl kinda deal but within the first episode we see that like.. oh damn... thats kinda heavy... tbh i was a little shocked and thought about stopping bc yknow bad mental health BUT i was so intrigued that i had to keep going and i am SO GLAD that i did. because this show just so beautifully discusses all these heavy topics in such an eloquent and artistically expressive way. and also like, , the juxtaposition of the charming childlike vibe with bright colors and 14 yr old girl protagonists against the dark themes of suicide and so much else,, i think is just perfect. bc a lot of heavy animes are more of the seinen genre and have some middle aged dude as a protag or make the entire color palette dim or offer little relief to the pain of these heavy themes right ?? but NO not wonder egg bitches B) because these problems arent just things that ppl face later in life or just problems that need to be talked about among adults or the edgy seinen watching squad,, these are REAL problems that face people of every age, gender etc and i think its awesome that wonder egg addresses that. some may cringe at the thought of their high schooler watching animes that discuss sexual harassment, suicide, abuse, self harm, eating disorders etc,, but in reality it is the most comforting thing i have ever come across and is basically jsut free anime therapy. because not only does wonder egg present these themes to the viewers as something real that happens to all kinds of people (making said people feel heard in a way that maybe they hadnt before), but it also makes sure to vanquish all of these forms of trauma. and the way the trauma is vanquished isnt always beautiful and it isnt always just magically gone with a poof. the struggles of overcoming or living with that sort of thing are shown in such a real and relatable way that addresses every hardship trauma survivors have to go through. and i just. god i cry bro. 

oh m y GOD and the lgbtq+ rep in this show ?? like shawty... as soon as i saw episode one i was picking up on some gay/lesbian themes but then again im sapphic and project that a lot so i tend to see that sort of stuff like... everywhere... but NE WAYS... episode ten made me FUKCING CRY BRO LIke i cant believe there was a whole trans character with a whole trans pride hoodie like LKGHKDGH my heart is just so.. so fucking full thinking about him. bc like yeah i know there are trans characters in anime but i feel like theyre always very ambiguous about actually being trans or not or erased or portrayed as a harmful stereotype or theyre constantly misgendered and still refered to as their assigned gender at birth and i hate it. HOWEVEr... Kaoru.. *chefs kiss* it was so amazing to see a character straight up say “yeah im trans” in such a casual yet powerful way bc i personally have never seen that before. and i love love loved how he went into his backstory and talked to momoe about gender bc i think thats what she rlly needed and that it helped her find herself and it makes me so happy oh my god,, and the way they talked about it never seemed forced or like it was the focal point of his existence yknow ?? like yeah he existed to help momoe overcome some of her trauma but he also just existed to be HIM yknow ?? also... personally, i headcanon momoe as a trans girl even though i dont remember it being explicitly stated plus the school scenes of her and stuff would seem like they suggest otherwise ??but,,, SHAWTY THE AMOUNT OF SUBTEXT and her complicated relationship w gender is... something i feel like a cis girl would not go through so harshly yknow ?? with all of the questioning and feeling detached from femininity or feeling like ppl dont see her as an actual girl and only like her as a guy or for her masculine traits,,, but dont take my word on this bc i myself am a cis girl but that was just my take on it as someone in the lgbtq+ community trying to educate myself on the transgender community :) either way,, wonder eggs portrayal of momoe and kaoru and the way that momoe becomes so passionate about expressing herself the way she wants to as a girl is just... good lord im gonna cry its so perfect,,,.so ... i just love this show way too much. i also am honestly super lost about the relationship btwn acca and ura-acca ?? bc i was gonna mention ura-acca as a canonically gay guy bc when i was watching i interpreted ep 11 as him being in love with acca and being jealous of Azusa (bc i mean,, they lived together (i swear to god there was only one bed in that apartment) and had a daughter together and def loved each other and also when Frill said they were husbands and then when ura-acca said he wasnt attracted to azusa but he was def jealous of their relationship ??) but then i saw somewhere that theyre brothers ?? which would make sense ig since they look kinda similar and accas daughter called ura-acca “uncle”.. but at the same time its ANIME SO THEY ALL LOOK SIMILAR and referring to gay couples as siblings is an EXTREMELY common euphemism soooo... IM JUST LOST HERE... but yeah i tried doing research and found different things so i cant say anything for sure >:( however,,, if they are canonically a lil fruity for each other... when frill refered to acca as ura-accas husband i imploded dude you never hear that sort of wording in anime.. but if theyre related i am so sorry. 

god this is so much longer than i planned it to be oops but i also love the theme about like.. relying on friends to help carry your weight but at the same time not becoming completely dependent on those friends and using their support to learn how to love yourself and rely on yourself yknow ?? bc that is exactly what healthy friendships look like. bc i think ai sort of had a codependency thing goin on with koito maybe ?? but now she has a whole squad of funky friends that are so so different but all struggle with different kinds of trauma and although they fight over it, they always get through it with each other together. and they push each other no matter what to be the best versions of themselves and they teach other that getting hurt is okay because theyre always gonna be there to pick up the pieces no matter what happens. they can give each other space when they need and adapt to meet each others needs but theyre always able to balance it out with their own needs and thats such a beautiful thing in friendships especially at their age like damn i wish i had that maturity when i was 14 but no all i had was depression. another thing is that through these friendships you get to see all the different sides of each girl; you get to see them being strong or a shining light to their friends when theyre hurting but you also get to see them being hurt and weak and allowing themselves to be on the receiving end of the comfort. their friendships allows them to have weaknesses but it also allows them to highlight their strengths and thrive off of each others. I LOVE FRIENDSHIP DUDE

next i wanna briefly mention some of the themes connected to suicide that ive noticed. a big one is the survivors guilt that ai feels once koito is dead. several times she screams that she wishes she couldve gone with koito and she dreams of a “perfect world” where they committed a double suicide. one of the main reasons for her troubles is that she blames herself for koitos death and feels like it should be her thats dead... but at the same time she feels like too much of a coward to do anything now that koito is gone. she just has all these complex and contradicting feelings that wear away at her in ways that ppl that havent gone through the suicide of a loved one could never imagine. a lot of the times when things like this are portrayed in media i feel like its more in a way thats meant to guilt trip those that have taken their own lives and paint suicide as this selfish sin thats unforgivable but... not only does wonder egg reject that idea and instead portray it as a heartbreaking tragedy with,,, so so many terrible reasons, but it focuses on the feelings of ai separate from koito without blaming her in any way. not once did i feel like the show antagonized koito or that ai blamed koito for doing any of this, but they simply mourned her loss and touched on ais reaction towards the event but separate from koito herself if that makes sense. and i think that discussing survivors guilt without painting koito as the bad guy is something so beautifully done in wonder egg that can really resonate with those that have lost a loved one to suicide and have struggled with these same things.

okay i think this is the last thing ill mention,,, but HOMIE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE BIT AT THE END. I AM. OBSESSED. i am such a whore for anything about the multiverse okay n e ways...,, not only did this make a super epic trippy ending of season one and add a little bit more magical girl whimsy to the show,, but it had such a powerful message. from the perspective of og ai,, finding out that you killed yourself in another world is... i mean its definitely not a surprise but at the same time it rlly makes you think how close og ai herself couldve been to that point and what decisions led her out of that dark place in her life. if i were in her shoes i would be terrified and id cry bc the thought of going back to such a dark place and actually going through with something like that is my worst fear and probably something that ai fears too. but at the same time,,, think from the perspective of ai two !!! like yeah its true that theres this awful terrible version of ai that dies but theres also a whole version of ai that is a superhero magical girl fighting off monsters to save countless ppls lives !! and she has a badass lizard and a gang of awesome friends !!! at first i was worried that ai two would be jealous of og ai and compare herself to her and feel inferior but like.. THEYRE LITERALLY THE SAME PERSON AND CAPABLE OF THE SAME THINGS !!! and ai two realized that !! just within the span of one episode, she went from the version of ai who took her life,, to the version of ai jumping in front of a friend to take a bullet for them and save their life. and that just inspired THE SHIT OUT OF ME. i think that ai was sent another version of herself to sort of beat her own worst enemy yknow ?? those doubts and fears that shes no good or that shes that same bystander from episode one and that she hasnt changed at all. but getting to interact with her parallel self and see her grow was just what she needed to realize that while yeah sometimes the worst thing can happen and things can be terrible but on the other hand sometimes the most wonderful thing imaginable can happen because she has the power to do either. 

so im gonna go ahead and stop rambling bc i got all my thoughts out that i wanted to for this post :D but yeah lol i might make another if i feel like it sometime. long story short: this show is perfect and it is going on my favorite of all times.

[thxngam]

hey! i was wondering if u have any hcs u see tww cast, sexuality wise?

i mean i think they’re all gay but ill go into details lol if that’s what ur asking!

i think sam is queer, I just cant decide if I think he’s gay or bi or pan 

I get a gay vibe 

also literally it’s always him when they’re talking about LGBTQ+ issues; DADT, when charlie is getting interviewed by josh, he gets called a fairy by those dudebros in the ep with zoey’s panic button

he might be bi bc of lisa, and the chemistry he had with ainsley was NOT platonic 

but I do get gay vibes from him so I can’t decide

also I think josh is pan?

i think when he was figuring out his sexuality in college he’d just experiment and try things and decide that gender doesn’t actually matter that much to him? 

like

he just likes pretty people, period - literally all the people he dated were gorgeous; donna? gorgeous. amy? i love her. sam? he’s a pretty man (did they date in canon? no. do i care? not at all)

cj!! my love!!

i think she’s bi (I feel like I'm saying all these people are bi but that might be me projecting) 

it might literally bc I think she’s gorgeous but cmon cj/toby is not platonic, at least not totally, and I kinda think cj and donna hooked up once? is that weird?

also @claudiasjeancregg has a great series about cj/toby/andy that’s gotten me on the bi train

cj doesn’t hide hide it but she’s not gonna make it obvious

(it’s the early 2000s and she’s in a male-dominated field, she’s already kinda the only woman in the room. I don’t think she’d want to be cast as the gay woman in the room, even though she says it doesn’t matter in that ep where ppl think she’s gay) 

toby is...i can’t decide

I honestly can’t see him as queer

idk why

I guess he’s straight? he’s straight

I still love him

if you disagree pls let me know why 

leo and bartlet!!! they’re queer

they never named it specifically but they know they like more than one gender

cmon leo and bartlet had a thing that is totally why they stayed friends - their paths would not have crossed that much, why the hell would they be bffs? bartlet was a congressman and a governor ig but he in academia for a while too and leo was in the military and the private sector before he was chairman of the dnc and labor sec’y so. other than the personal aspect, they wouldn’t really work that closely together, so they must’ve had a hell of a first impression 

abbey knows it happened and she constantly makes jokes about leo stealing her husband

leo has an on and off again thing with marbury

it’s scratching an itch more than it is anything with feelings but 

yeah

abbey is pan

I love her

she tells jed on their first date and tells him if he has a problem he can go screw himself

jed stammers and comes out too

and they’re both like ‘oh. ok. cool’

they go to pride parades with liz, ellie, and zoey when the girls were kids 

someone uses a picture of them at a parade to ask if he’s gay and bartlet’s just like ‘im showing my support to the gay community and I'm not gonna raise my children to be homophobic bigots. next question.’

neither leo, abbey, nor bartlet ever come out

but they’re happy

I'm considering if they ever had a poly thing but idk

lemme know what yall think?

donna!! my lovely lady!!

i think she’s a lesbian (@tunennbee and i have talked about it!)

freeride is still a man

after that disastrous relationship she decides to try women bc she was like ‘maybe the reason that sucked wasn’t just because he was an asshole. let’s try something different’ and she was curious even before that 

she decides that even though that whole relationship with dr. freeride sucked, the thing that was missing wasn’t just the fact that he was a dickhead. it was also the fact that men didn’t really appeal to her. 

she tries men one more time with cliff and she tells him at the beginning and he’s like ‘cool. if nothing else i’ll get a meal and some companionship  instead of crashing on my couch at one am with cspan’. 

she’s like ‘i get that!’

literally no tww character has a healthy work-life balance

after that date with cliff she decides ‘nope, not for me’

i also think she tells ainsley when ainsley tries to set donna up with cliff

‘ainsley, I'm not exactly straight. ill go, because i want to be sure, but you should know.’ 

ainsley’s cool with it

i maintain that ainsley and donna had a stronger relationship that was offscreen bc people don’t set up someone who’s only sort of a friend with  old friends on dates 

so i think ainsley knew that donna was questioning, or at least would be open to going on a date

and i think they slept together once and was no ‘yeah not going anywhere else’ but i think they enjoyed themselves 

hope you enjoyed anon! lemme know what you think :) 

[stayatsam]

you really dont have to answer this bc i get it, youre not the lawmaker of transgenderism but i feel like your advice always clicks with me. so uhh do you think its ok to have your dead name as like your middle name? bc i like my dead name its just not a name that fits with my gender (its Lydia and i’m a trans man) but i still feel a sense of pride with that name and my real middle name which is my grandmothers name who survived ww2 so. idk. is it ok to have my dead name and my old middle name to be feminine even though im a guy? what are your thoughts? once again you absolutely dont have to answer its more of a discussion really tbh. maybe this question is stupid and theres already 10000+ answers out there for this,,

its ok! this is a really good question bc i had so many issues with my name i was so torn on what to do with my middle name.

my middle name is Irene, and i’ve always really liked it, and several people had recommended me to change it to just “I”

but i really liked Irene and i stuck with it, and i actually really like seeing “Samuel Irene B.” pop up on my zoom screen. there’s something about me keeping a part of myself that other people might be like “why would you do that it’s not masculine” that makes me feel like i have more control over my identity.

ultimate your name is yours only, and you get to decided what to do with it. if you want to keep your deadname somewhere, id say to do what makes you happy!  i hope this helps!

Fairytale Complex - [Undertale | Sans x Reader]

[Gender Neutral, Frisk's Parent Reader | Slow Burn]

Chapter Twelve | Danger Mystery (Part 1 of 2)

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

Today's the day, and though there's no going back now, one look at the last message your ex sent you makes you wish you could.

I'll 🐝 there in 30 ⌚, babe. 😘😘😘

💋💖🥺 Miss you. 🥺💖💋

K.

The overuse of emojis topped off with him calling you ‘babe’ makes you regret so much as the thought of meeting him already.

It's hard to imagine a normal conversation with Jerry given how awfully long it's been since you last talked and how blatant you were being through texts, ignoring all the ones about the info he dug up on monsterkind and only answering his most recent message with a 'K'. You didn't want to hear his reasons behind his absence after how bad things were left between you, and even less did you want him to call you 'babe' in real life. Grateful as you are to have Toriel offer her home as the place for your meeting with him, you look forward to this as much as you do having to wake up at five in the morning every weekday. Her home is busy as a result of the upcoming visitor, with Papyrus trying to make himself look like the most sophisticated gentleman possible, Toriel fixing Frisk's hair into two short braids, Undyne freshening up after exercising all her own nervousness away, Alphys practicing her introductory speech, and Sans revising Frisk's homework.

Considering how much of a handful the last person has been, you decide to take that as an opportunity for you to bother him yourself -- not only as payback, but as a way to prepare yourself to confront Jerry soon.

You approach the couch he sits on and stand behind him, his sitting height and your standing one allowing you to grab a look at what he's doing with more detail. He's around halfway through correcting Frisk's Math homework, and their English speech is already set aside with a few marks and commentary on what they had left to work with. His revision stops when you hover a little closer, making him acknowledge your presence and set the notebook aside to turn around and meet with your eyes.

"How do I look?

That's the first question you ask him, a bit of confidence shining through with how your health's managed to improve a bit since your hospitalization. While you still have to use foundation to cover up your stress blemishes and you're far from being as fit as Jerry was, it's a huge difference from how you were at the start of it all. As a result, you smile, ready to hear someone else's view of you besides Frisk, Brenda, or yourself.

"'Fraid you're asking the wrong person, pal," he replies, gaze averting from yours.

"C'mon," you insist, sitting next to him on the couch. You then shift a bit closer to the skeleton and nudge his shoulder, pouting at him after that. "Please?," you add, facing him again. "You're… You're the only one I trust who won't sugarcoat how I look if you pointed out those 'love handles' I've got a while back." 

He manages to keep his gaze and attention on the conversation, though you can see he tries to look elsewhere every so often, as if unable to stare at you for too long.

"So? I was just makin' a comparison between us, not callin' you out or anything."

"But you were still bold enough to say I had them."

You pull your hand back, noticing it's been kept on his shoulder for far too long. Then, you scoot away, growing aware of how close you are. "I don't want him to think I'm still hung up over him." You huff. "It's been almost six years now!"

"Are you still thinkin' about 'im, though?"

"Oh, hell no. He can go date whoever he wants."

Sans grabs the area where you'd touched him; the sight of that makes you worry if you'd involuntarily crossed a line with him. You're not sure how to ask if you've made him uncomfortable, so you back off and shift further away in your seat, setting your hands on your lap and staring down afterwards. "He was… nice enough to wait until I finished my second year of college for us to call our relationship off and for him to leave the picture, so I can't really blame him too much for what happened." You take in some air and look up again, maintaining your pride. "But that still doesn't mean I don't want to look my best. I've moved on, and I... I really want all that to show today."

Appearing convinced, Sans nods once and sits up straighter on the couch. Whatever made him wary of eye contact vanishes and allows him to judge you without any bias, irises scanning your face for a moment. He carries on to your attire, though it's a quicker observation in comparison and a hint of embarrassment can be seen in his body language, from how stiff his shoulders get to how his grin feels forced and bashful. "You look good. Not much different from your regular self, I'd say."

"Please, be honest with me here, Serif. I know I didn't exactly... look my best when we first met, y'know? It's fine."

"But I am being honest." Again, he averts his gaze from yours, posture staying rigid as he faces the table and stares at the open notebook. "You don't need to try and look like you've moved on, 'cause it already shows -- And even more now that you look healthier, too."

Unsure how to approach his comment, you grab your knees and clench your hands around them, sighing after. "If you really think so, then I..." You breathe in, chest feeling tighter than the belt around your waist. "Thank you."

You stand up and fix your clothes for what has to be the twentieth time today. Your heart's racing just as much as your thoughts. Honest to goodness, you were nervous over meeting Jerry again, and not because of butterflies or lingering feelings, but for how much had happened since he last visited. At the thought of him meeting the monsters and learning all about the near two months Frisk was absent from your side, your worries heighten and anxiety eats right through your confidence. 

Nervous, you gulp and look back to the couch again, offering the one still sitting there a smile. "Could you... follow me outside, please?" You wring your hands, clasping them as a subtle plead shows on your face. "I could really use your company right now."

Sans laughs at that, nodding again as he stands up, dusts off, and joins your side, winking when he looks up at you. "Thought you'd never ask, (Y/N)."

You still can't help feeling strange at the sound of him saying your name. 

While you're fully aware it was nothing out of the ordinary and that he was now in closer enough terms with you to call you that instead of 'pal' or (L/N), there remains a sudden flip in your stomach whenever he says it. Whether it was due to how wary you've become around him or how incessant he was with his flirting, it's still impossible for you to acknowledge that and get over those feelings. No way were you wasting any of your time and energy thinking about that stuff, anyway.

The temperature changes as you both step outside.

In contrast to the warmth and coziness of Toriel's home, you're greeted by cold and unrelenting winds, along with the colder, occasional water droplets falling on your face. The hint of a downpour coming soon makes you dwell on your past visit here and how you were obliged to stay the night back then. You wonder if the same ending will apply for today, or if you would have to cut your reunion short as a consequence.

"Guessin' those months without the kid around were pretty draining, huh? You look way happier compared to when we first met." Sans breaks the ice, though his hands are kept in his pockets to shield himself from both the cold and any awkward body language. "When I think about it, it's… It's kinda hard to believe it's already been just as long since we left the Underground -- And that it's gonna be Frisk's birthday soon, too." 

You face down at him, smiling when you meet with his gaze. "Has it felt like less or longer to you?"

"A weird mix between the two, actually."

You look away from each other at the sound of an engine rumbling from nearby. A familiar, red colour flashes before your eyes; the Ferrawrxd that parks at the sidewalk brings back memories, ones you try to push down. "Tori was already plannin' out somethin' for 'em by that time," the skeleton says, distracting you from the view. "Has she talked about it with you?"

"Not yet," you reply, facing your shoes. "But I wanted to ask her if she'd like to help out -- It's the least I can do with how much she cares for Frisk."

Despite your best efforts not to, you tense up at the sound of a person stepping down and a car door being shut and locked.

Now that you're actually about to confront your ex, it's hard for you to keep your confidence and face up at that sight. "You should do it, then." Again, Sans's voice helps melt your worries down. "I'm sure she'll be more than happy to join you in that -- And pretty much the rest of Frisk's friends, too." You can feel his gaze on you, though you don't look at him, still too anxious to move your eyes away from the floor. "And I'd be more than happy to help also, so just say the word if you need me."

The earthy scent of roses catches you off guard and makes you look up to see a large, white-and-red bouquet being offered out to you, ex-husband standing behind them. "How's it going, babe?" he asks, a smile present on his face. "I missed you."

You back up against the door to Toriel's home and face the man in front of you with careful eyes. Your breathing hitches with how different a greeting that is from your expectations; the sight of him having no companion around and the use of 'babe' makes it obvious as to what the bouquet means. It's even more than evident with the lull in his tone and the soft look in his eyes, though you don't want to acknowledge that. To counter, you step closer to the skeleton's side and look at your ex right in the eye, a firm look remaining in yours. 

"I'm doing alright," you reply, stoic. You then take the flowers from him, paying little attention to them and ignoring his other comment. "This is Sans. Though I'm sure you've heard about him already," you add, gesturing with a hand over to him. Pretending you hadn't seen Jerry at the restaurant back at the very beginning of it all is the best you can do for now with how hard it is to lie about it. "He's one of Frisk's friends from the Underground."

The pair exchange a look, one you can only remain curious over when you remind yourself over the purpose for Jerry's visit. You glare sharply at him, wanting to stand your ground. "Why return after a whole year of not coming around to see your child?" Finally, you cross your arms tight and let your displeasure known through a grimace. "Frisk was gone for almost two whole months, and yet you never worried to ask if I needed help with that or not!"

You take a step forward, anger bubbling the more you let those words dawn upon you. "You came to visit us only after the hardest stage was over. The one where I needed you the most!" You hold yourself back, against letting your voice turn any louder or making a scene of any sort.

"Well, I..." he counters, gaze narrowing and frown showing. "I waited two whole years for you to start out college before ending our relationship, and I'm still paying child support to this day."

"And I had to divide time between taking care of a two year-old with work and college!" You huff out, trying to contain yourself. "This isn't a competition, Jerry. It never was." A sharp bite to the inside of your lip is what's necessary for you to keep yourself from exploding any further than you have already, against showing any more weakness in front of him. "I don't care if you decided to leave, I only wanted you to at least pretend you cared for Frisk. Not just show up and visit once a year like freakin' Santa Claus!"

He glares back at you, keeping it that way when he looks down at Sans, his height not only towering over the monster, but you, as well. "At least I'm not dating a Halloween decoration seven years after my divorce!" 

Wham!

You shove the bouquet right at his chest.

Your nostrils flare and your hands ball up tight as you stare him down, frown changing for a deep and unwavering scowl. "Don't talk to him like that!" You pause and take another step forward, enough for him to do the opposite. "Don't call me babe, and don't give me flowers if you're just gonna assume I'm dating someone else! I'm through with you, Jerry, and it's been that way since six damn years ago."

Jerry's eyes lower back to the skeleton, who takes his hands out of his pockets and straightens up. He faces your ex, looking amused. "So this is the one you told me you liked, man?" he asks, brushing you aside to make way towards Sans. "Is this really the (chick/dude) you told me you were into? I thought we were bros!"

"Wait, what?"

Those are the only words you can say out loud as you watch the two confront each other, tension thick in the air. Jerry takes in all of it, while the monster keeps his cool, shrugging at his bro. "Sorry to lay it down like this, but yeah," he says, snickering. "They're who I'm into." He spares a quick glance at you, winking to further fuel your ex's anger. "I gotta admit, it's a bit awkward. Though I really dunno why you're so worked up over this if you had your time all those years ago. Ain't my fault you two broke up."

"They're my ex-spouse, bro!"

"Yeah -- I'm well-aware of that, pal."

You back away from the door when it opens, revealing a frowning Toriel behind it. 

"Is everything alright out there, you two? Someone sounds angry." When she catches sight of Jerry, her eyes brighten and a smile overcomes her. "I see our new guest is here! Come along now. I cannot wait to meet Frisk's other parent!"

"Inna second, Tori," Sans says, grinning up at your ex. "Just havin' a talk with 'im first."

The goat lady nods, and a knowing look's exchanged between them two; she then closes the door after that, leaving you be.

Overwhelmed and in need of some painkillers for a future headache, you take a step back meanwhile, not quite in favour of getting caught up between your ex and a monster with a seemingly one-sided crush on you. 

"What more could there be to talk about?" Jerry asks, scowling. "If I'd known it was (Y/N) you'd been talking about this whole time, I would've never told you to try giving it a shot!"

He storms off inside the house and closes the door shut, leaving you alone with the skeleton, who soon beckons you over with his irises, a look of caution visible in them. 

"You okay, pal?" he asks, hands going back in his pockets. "Sorry I got ya mixed up in all this. I know you don't want any drama, but I really didn't think he'd figure me out like this."

You stand by the door and lean against the wall while you consider his words. 

It doesn't take too long for a smile to show up on your face. You sigh, choosing to believe him for now. "It's alright," you say, dismissing his words. "The look you gave each other before this kind of... showed that." You pause, curiosity intervening. "How did you guys become friends, anyway? Didn't he pretty much hate your guts a while back?"

"Met 'im again while workin' at a hot dog stand, so we've been able to talk some more since then." Sans joins your side, similar to the day at Waterfall, but with an easier atmosphere present between you. "He came over to grab a bite, we found some stuff in common, and then we kinda just became friends from there on -- Surprisingly." He hums, a faint chuckle interrupting it. "We started talkin' about our love lives two weeks into gettin' to know each other. And about a month after you confronted me over at that restaurant." His hands leave his pockets, these placing themselves behind his skull as he further reclines against the wall. "I told 'im I'd met someone I was interested in, but when he asked for specifics, I said they weren't really into me. Told 'im they were a single parent, and that maybe that had somethin' to do with them not fallin' easily enough for my flirtin'."

He stops, though you still want to hear more. You nod at him, hope over him carrying on remaining. "Is... Is that all?"

"You'll get mad at me if I keep tellin' you what I told 'im about you."

"I can't promise I won't, but I'll try not to."

The monster takes in a breath, and his relaxed state is then replaced by a subtle mousiness he tries to cover up, mainly by remaining calm and casual.

"I told him your stubbornness and integrity were kinda just... hot, and that I had a thing for not only your looks, but just you, in general -- As a person, I mean."

"Do you still feel that way about me?"

You don't know what makes you blurt that question out, but it's far too late for you to dwell over it now of all times.

"Of course I do," Sans says, rubbing the back of his neck. "I told Jerry 'bout that last part just a few days ago." He stops again, breathing in deep once more. "I was, well, only doing it for fun back when it started. But now... Now I really mean it when I flirt with you, (Y/N)."
