#he is just as dork as ez

[belong2human-kind]

Oh my God I cackled up so loud, LOL HELP THIS IS SO TRUE

[m4rs-ex3]

so i finally finished the book 1 novelization. after owning it for 3 years. .............................................i've been busy. anyway, let the thoughts commence!

also i only started marking sections at like ep 5 don't ask why

even CLAUDIA could tell that rayla was a cinnamon roll

stop she's incredible

a) he's a dork b) i think they should kiss

"this freckle-faced goof [gren] was going to be the easiest prisoner he'd ever encountered." is he right? yes. am i still taking offense to this? yes

"'i didn't kill anyone,' Rayla said. it surprised her that she was so proud of this fact." YAS YOU GO GIRL

these additional details are incredibly necessary thank you so much Book

"Viren blinked twice, amazed at the folly of his own offspring." i know that it's incredibly sad but goddamn that is so funny

STOPPPPPPPP I CANT 😭 the use of the word "adored" no one fucking talk to me

them

"Rayla and Callum didn't know how easy they had it, what with their long legs and no heavy dragon egg on their backs."

the way that even back then ez was already thinking like a king, even when the subject was so "not of a king's concern," for lack of a better term (why am i rhyming)

what can i even say about this oh my god

"'no, not really, dummy.' sometimes, Rayla could barely believe the denseness she had to put up with."

god i love him god i love him i l obe him i love him i love hiom oi love hiojm and everybody clapped

sometimes these slight dialogue changes mean the world to me

his autistic ass 😭

"he turned and spoke only to her." i am dying

"i've always been different. it's hard for me to make friends with other kids. i just feel like i don't fit in." -> "i've always been different. i don't really 'get' other kids, and it's... so hard for me to fit in." this is AUTISTIC CODING he has AUTISM that is IT we have autistic claudia try and tell me that this child does have the tism and that they don't fucking know that

LMAO LITERALLY KICKING ROCKS HE'S SUCH A PISSBABY I LOVE IT

this is Everything to me. i. a moment of all time. behead me

i think they should kiss pt 2

STOP THEY CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS TO ME THE SIBLINGS OF ALL TIME ISTG

"Callum lingered" "for some reason, she wanted to share what she had seen with Callum, even is she didn't tell anyone else" i. think. they. should. kiss.

"Callum glared at his brother. there was a ginormous spider in their way. many things about this situation weren't right."

SHUT UP WHAT DO I EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS. OH YOURE TELLING ME THAT RAYLA IS IN A WHOLE NOTHER CLASS FROM ELLIS AND AVA?? THAT SHE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A "FRIEND"??? BOTH IS THE SENSE THAT HE IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HER AND THAT HE JUST GENERALLY MEANS MORE TO HIM????? IM THEOWING U _P (hey guys i think they should kiss)

shut the fuck up. buddy. i am gagged

oh Him

damn girl's always had a problem with Layla 💀

dear christ. the matter of fact "no, this is not your fault" (4x06 "Rayla. don't."), "he couldn't let Rayla carry that burden alone" (5x04, anybody?) also i am 100% reading way too far into this but it's still callum's pov so he is the one who described her "violet eyes" and i just would like to state this for the record

and oh yeah i think they should kiss

Soren Relationship/General Hcs

Disclaimer: do not copy, repost, take or feed to AI or NFTs anything I post

Masterlist

You fell first but he fell harder kind of deal

post Battle of Storm Spire tho, before that he had negative rizz

seeing him grow from under his father opressive gaze into the crownguard you got to know, it was hard to not fall for him

Though he's still the little camp boy the castle has always known, he sings and hums camp songs to you all the time

he's still a dork at heart, making puns at any oportunity, trying to draw a laugh from anyone around

Soren takes great pride on Ez trusting him with being the crownguard, basically trusting him with his life

on top of that he tries the hardest to keep the royal brothers' inner children alive, in spite of everything that has happened in these past few years

Viren pressured Soren to grow up fasters, of course it didn't work like he wanted to, but the pressure still weights down on him and Soren refuses to see it happen to Ezran and Callum

especially with Ezran, who had the weight of the whole kingdom thrusted on his shoulders at such a young age and Soren refuses to let them suffer through it alone

so yes, despite anything you say Soren still spoils the shit out of the kid, even sneaking behind your back for him sometimes

but it's mostly harmless, many times ending with some fun little adventure around the castle

Mr Crownguard still wears his pajamas under his armor, claiming that it's the best idea ever

you judge him hard but you know that it won't stop him anyways

you manage to make him agree to change pajamas everytime he uses it outside

After the Battle of Storm Spire Soren and Amaya grew close, bonding over their dutties and exchanging battle strategies like pokemon cards

they ended up growing really close, with Amaya treating him as another nephew and trusting him with taking over things at Katolis

that's why he was heartbroken when you couldn't attend her wedding due to his deadbeat dad coming back to fuck everything up

thankfully he had you by his side, or he wouldnt be able to handle everything that happened that night

Loved dragons when he was a little kid, after everything he still keeps his dragon plushie on the bed while not using it

on the first oportunity he showed it to Zubeia and Zym

Many of your dates end up being third wheeled by Hat since none of you have the heart to say no to the little guy

As anyone who knows Soren can attest, he loves to exercise to keep in shape

laps up and down the tallest tower every morning are a must do for him

Soren always asks you to join him in his workouts, even if it's just for you to sit on his back and count as he does push ups

will run up to you and easily lift you up in a hug everytime he sees you to show affection

you were surprised by his strengh at the start, he claims it's due to his ridgid workout rotine but it's actually due to the spell used on him when he was a small child

Viren's so called perfect spell thankfully seems to not have negative effects other than maybe him eating way more than humanly possible

and after Claudia's healing spell his healing and strength get even greater, almost clearly supernatural but Soren would be the last person to notice that

and you're not going to be the one to tell him that, knowing him it would only make him even more reckless

jumping off in front of danger in order to protect others with little regard for his own safety, especially if that someone is you

then he'd fight a dragon again just to protect you

Sor-bear ironically used to be scared of bears as a little kid, his mom had to stop telling the story of Goldy Locks to the siblings due to that

To this day Soren still has nightmares from when he stabbed Viren and seeing Claudia's reaction to it, even if it was an illusion it still haunts him

before you were a thing he'd struggle to fall asleep, usually prefering to exercise to the point he'd drag himself to the nearest surface and passout from exaustion

now with you he likes being the big spoon, your smell and touch calming his nerves enough for him to fall asleep

Through the night Soren holds you thight and close to his chest, almost as if he's scared that like his family you'll vanish too

If you liked this pls reblog and comment so I know to write more like it

TDP Season 6 Episode 2 Live Reaction, spoilers under the cut

OUGH THE NEW INTRO STATUE IS CLAUDIA

She looks so sad

Also her face now that she’s done so much dark magic is lookin real spooky

Yay Soren has Hat!!

Wait why are they going to Lux Aurea

OH CORVUS!!!

Here’s how Sorvus can still win-

But seriously it makes sense, he is a tracker, he can find Zubeia

THE LESBIANS!!

I forgot how obnoxiously French Janai is. I still love her.

Girlie you are making some questionable choices due to stress, you’re gonna want to treat your generals better if you don’t want more traitors

Thank you, Amaya, for being the voice of reason

JANAI YOU DID NOT JUST DISRESPECT AMAYA LIKE THAT

“I’ve never seen mushrooms like this before? You think it’s edible” “no and pLEASE DONT FIND OUT” AHDIEJXIEKF lmao Corvus is very familiar with Soren’s stupidity

I fucking forgot Karim stole the light seed

Janai’s having fuckass dreams too???

Ok now she decides to properly communicate with her fiancée (when’s the wedding happening)

fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU KARIM

this mf’s really gonna waste the sun seed on Sol Regem and throw away any chance at Lux Aurea actually rebuilding properly

I forgot Karim’s girlfriend’s name but it would be really fucking funny if she put poison in his wine glass, just saying

Glad to see Zym and Ez still have that whole telepathy thing going for them

NEW MUSHOOMS????

AMONG US?

yeah these two are gay dorks

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THE MUSHROOMS ARE LITTLE GUYS

I wanna gently squish it with a hug ITS SO CUTE I FUCKING LOVE MUSHROOMS

“Ah fuck my leg” *jump cuts to Soren absolutely booking it through the woods with Corvus on his back* YOUR HONOR THIS IS HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR AND ALSO HILARIOUS

Jesus Christ this mushroom can run

I think the mushroom brought them to its own mom

Oh shit the mushroom elf dude from the end of season 5

WAIT I CAN COSPLAY THIS GUY I HAVE A MUSHROOM HAT

“You are my heart, my truth. If I ever start to doubt you I’ll know I am truly lost” BRB SOBBING

THEYRE CALLED MUSHPALS!!!! I love them so much

Wgeiejciero one of them has the fucking 2014 aesthetic mustache I’m gonna lose it this is so funny

So mushroom dude (Musko) is basically a doctor. Good for him!!

Ooooh the way that the shots of Karim addressing his army are intercut with Janai addressing her people is giving me chills

Karim sounds like a Zionist and/or general religious tyrant and I hope that’s an intentional parallel

Bro just fucking pulled out the Mario blue shrink mushrooms

Corvus telling Soren he’s a good man with a big heart is so incredibly gay

I love the glowy mushrooms in Zubeia’s tree room

AWWW SHE CALLED EZRAN ZYM’S BROTHER

wait what does she mean “Ezran needs you” because I’m hoping she means, like, in general and not because of some specific threat

WEDDING TIME WEDDING TIME WEDDING TIME

oh my god he’s hat’s hat

[demetriandelibinaryboyfriends]

Kind of unironically Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz ;_____;

a character can be as perceptive and insightful and intellectually curious as you can possibly imagine the fucking second they show signs of being a little rowdy or boisterous or just generally being cheerful and physically fit they instantly get slapped with the “dumbass” stamp because the faceless masses of general fandom trends still haven’t progressed beyond the immovable jock vs nerd dichotomy i guess

[blutopaz15]

wip wednesday!!

anyone have any predictions about what in the world is going on for our dear sweet dorks? 😊

Callum has a plan, Rayla’s sure.

He really hasn’t been very good at hiding it, she thinks, sliding her cold feet out from under his warm legs and scooting closer, eager to distract him from scribbling away in that sketchbook of his.

He’d been at it ever since they’d come in from the snow, the heaviness of his pencil on the page making it all the more apparent how anxious he clearly was. He stiffens at her breath against his ear but makes no move to set aside the sketchbook or loop his arm around her middle or press his cheek against her lips…and the only reason he’d ignore her like that is if he’s so in his head that he doesn’t realize he’s doing it, she knows, even more certain than before that she’d read his unease right.

It’d been obvious all weekend, really, that he was nervous, and the nerves—on top of all of the other not-so-subtle clues—just confirm her suspicions that’ve been brewing for weeks now.

He’s definitely up to something.

It’d started with how insistent he’d been about leaving the capital ahead of Ez and everyone else. Callum had been absolutely adamant that they start this winter holiday alone, never mind how much more sense it’d make to travel all together.

He’d been secretive too, hiding away to pack his bag last week, lunging for it before she could grab it when they’d been ready to go the other day.

She might’ve snooped or pestered him about it…except that she was already pretty sure what he’d been hiding all this time.

…but it’s been almost two whole days here at the Banther Lodge, and…nothing.

No big, dumb, unnecessary romantic gesture.

No heartfelt speeches.

Nothing.

…and now he won’t even kiss her.

[raayllum]

corvus for the bingo sheet, maybe?

one of my favourite minor characters, i love his relationship with ez and the rest of the council so much. he's just such a chill and overall mild mannered dude which makes the fact he's consistently put in the most batshit situations (esp in s1 and s2) all the funnier. he loses a fight to a teenager, then shows up and witnesses said elven teenager trying to comfort his own king and looking after his crown prince, and then trusts her to do so. he is a total dork. loves amaya (and gren) <3 i've always headcanoned him having lost a younger brother in war skirmishes so him having written and then performing "a song of loss and love" just made it hurt more. like what can't this man do. also s1-s3 corvus is peak hotness, rip man bun you are missed dearly. (i love his s4 look as well it just doesn't do it as much for me)

[oonajaeadira]

I’ve got 2 cats, one of which very much enjoys imitating a rotisserie chicken while she sleeps (she starts in her stomach than works her way onto her back)

Her name is Applesauce.

(Cookie Dough is still a bit scraggly lookin’ post radiation, it’s honestly a bit distressing.)

I think landlords shouldn’t exist and the Ronald Reagan was a idiot figure head in the pockets of corporate America who got into office because of name recognition and charisma. Who extended the Cold War 3+ years because he wanted to build space lasers.

I’m queer as fuck and I’m probably projecting but damn near all of Pedro’s characters come off just a lil fruity, a lil bit like they’ve at least considered the company and comfort of another man’s body heat. (Yes I will be rubbing my grubby gay hands all over Silva once I see Strange Way of Life, no one, not even me, is ready for the kind of person I am likely to become once I see it)

But also like the guy himself, he just seems like such kind man, and a fucking dork, I wanna head bonk him, I wanna hug him! I think he’d be a cool guy to get toasted with!

Look at his stupid pretty face

This is such a beautiful "thrifting and chat and later coffee" of a message. I love a little rotisserie cat. I love a transman Ez. I love and agree with Pedro and his fruity characters. I love a man who has a healthy dose of the feminine in him.

I'll meet you at the thrift store, friend.

[goatboard]

hi hi hi hi hi uhmm . uhmmm . twirls my hair . 1 4 5 6 14 and 24 :3

1 : who is your favorite character in the game?

Unironically I'm a Sara liker, i think she's both the biggest failure and the biggest bossgirl. In reality I think the way she's so geniuenly compassionate and kind of a dork. She's so self-conscious in a way I find actually so cute but also so reletable and it's been so fun to see how the death game affects character but more importantly how the other characters influence her. I also like that she sometimes can say the dumbest things.

4 : whats your favorite moment ingame?

OHH I GOT A FEW. This is gonna get spoiler-y but!

Not exactly one specific moment but Gin wanting for Sara to hang out with him in exchange for the tokens. He really is so well written it's insane but honestly this is also such a good way for making the player (us) get closer to Gin for the final attraction. Also it's just so sweet when he decides to trust Safalin with Mew-chan because Sara said so.

Moment number two is when Alice decides to erase his memories of Reko. Like! This is a moment that shows the major differences between Reko and Alice as well as Alice's true nature, which is obviously being a coward. It's also the moment when I both want to yell at him so sooo much for doing it but partially I understand.

THIRD IS THAT ONE VERY VERY SHORT SNIPPET OF NAO IN THE AFTERLIFE. Especially in the Reko dies route. I think that one is mostly self explanatory. It makes me so insane to think that those two care about each other so deeply that death can't do them apart.

I think I'll stop for now um-

5 : which character did you change your opinions on the most?

Joe and Q-taro.

For Joe I'll have to be honest, I didn't care much for him at the beginning. His death mostly hit me by the way Sara reacted to it. I think Joe is a character who grew on me the more he was gone?? His dynamic with Sara is just so good and he's just such a sweet guy. I more or less went from indifference to liking him a lot.

And so sorry Bas but I really disliked Q-taro at the beginning. He didn't seem to be doing much at the beginning of the game and was hella distrustful. Which, fair, but it was also so damn annoying. The final attraction didn't do much in my eyes for him either. Like, irc he let Gin be stung twice. Like. Dude. His later relationship with Gin and Mai did change that a lot to me. I think he also kinda needed that experience of the final attraction to tone him down a little and be one of the main driving forces behind trying to resist AsuNaro.

6 : which character do you think has the most death flags?

EZ. Keiji. I was convinced this man was gonna die in 3b instead of Q-taro. At this point if he does live through the death game I'm going to be disappointed.

14 : whats your favorite joke from the game/fandom?

Homophobic Midori & everybody hates Shin. Sorry not sorry.

24 : in YTTS, which fondness events are your favorite?

Oh I don't think I've gotten all of the fondness events so far. I still haven't even finished Kai's route ahaha--

But! Even if there are all of the events that are so emotional and dive deep into the characters I will have to choose Kanna's fondness events with Mishima. This girl just cracks me up. She insists her bucket is a damn hat and then outs her sister. Iconic. Legendary.

It's also so fun to see Kanna happy and not haunted by Kugie's death. Her character really shines in YTTS. Pun intended.

[dykeyote]

as someone who wears glasses (and also reacts the same way to situations as Jedidiah?) please do not steal his glasses... us glasses wearers get blind in vision but also in rage. He will threaten you with telling his mother

see heres the thing though ...... i WANT jedidiah to be blind with rage . because i think that would be funny could u imagine that fucking dork trying to tell you off . whats he gonna do . KILL ME AND BRING ME BACK TO LIFE . see ill just say that and hell break down crying ez win

Years Together (Sergio Ramos)

A/N: Here I am, back with my first football little one-shot, or multiple parts since this is based on a TikTok. Anyway, I wanted to do it on bae, Sergio Ramos. I love this man, I would sacrifice a whole lot of things for this man. I know I usually write Mayans, specifically Angel, but I wanted to branch out. Be on the lookout for Rio, Billy Russo and Bucky Barnes. Maybe even Lewis Tan, Sebastian Stan are on the horizon. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy what I write still. If you don’t read, totally understandable, I still love you all!

I will try to finish all my works in progress along with the requests I have! EZ should be next since I’m almost done with his, I just have to actually finish it. 

Love you all!

Word Count: 1206

CREDITS TO THE GIF MAKER <3

You sat beside Sergio as he watched the next Marvel film in the series of chronological order for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So far, you two were at Iron Man II. Sergio has been either working out or watching film during the quarantine. La Liga was set to reconvene in two weeks and you were honestly excited. Though you couldn’t go to the matches, at least Sergio and the boys would be gracing your screens again. 

You and Sergio have been together for nine years and in those ten years, you two have had two sons together, Sergio Jr. and Thiago. You two were set to get married this year, but with the pandemic happening, you thought it would be best to postpone the wedding till all your friends and family could safely participate. 

With the pandemic happening, your work has been moved to a home setting. You actually didn’t mind holding meetings and working at home, it made things so much easier for you. You could take care of the boys, with Sergio’s help and also be able to stay safe. Sergio was holding Thiago, your three year old, while Junior, your five year old was nestled right beside you. 

“Should we order dinner? Or are we cooking?” You questioned him.

“Pizza?” Sergio has been indulging due to the pandemic and it wasn’t like the calories were staying on him. Sergio worked out far too much for the calories to really make a dent to his ungodly body.

You ordered pizza through an app, letting Sergio pick the toppings. You all got your own personalized pizza that was the perfect size for one person. You also got some cheesy bread since your sons were a sucker for cheese and so were you. 

You scrolled through TikTok as the movie began. TikTok has become an obsession you couldn’t drop. It was ridiculous, but the endless hours you spent on this app was dangerous. You even made an account. You’ve posted a few TikTok’s of you messing with Sergio, but nothing too insane as of yet. You did want to try one with Sergio, to see how he would react to this specific TikTok. There was a TikTok going around where the person gets the number of years together wrong and their partner reacts. There were a varying amount of reactions and you wanted to see what Sergio would say. 

Setting up your phone to record him, you focused the camera on Sergio, who was enjoying some juice you made earlier in the day. 

“Babe,” you called out.

“Hmm,” his eyes remained on the screen.

“You know what I find insane? My sister just texted me and told me that we’ve been together for seven years. That’s a long time huh?” You had to hold back your laughter. You didn’t think Sergio was paying attention since he’s been occupied by the Marvel Cinematic Universe since he finished his morning workout. 

Sergio paused the movie and looked back at you. “Seven years? Who have you been dating for seven years?” He gave you an incredulous look. “We’ve been together for ten years, five months, three weeks, 5 days, and six hours.” 

The details he uttered made you speechless. You knew how long you two were together by at least years and months, but he knew the weeks, days and hours? 

“What?” You looked at him in disbelief. “You know all of that?”

“Yes, of course I do. I still don’t think you understand how long I waited for you to agree to go on a date with me.” Sergio shook his head. “Now, who the hell have you been dating for seven years. I can text our sister right now.”

You’ve known Sergio since childhood through your sister. He wasn’t much older than you, just by a few years. Your sister was never fond of the idea of you dating Sergio, so you kept him at arm's length, but after the 2010 World Cup, you changed your mind and said screw it. You went on one date with Sergio and the rest was history. You two were on and off, but Sergio never let too much time pass till he waved the white flag. He had a temper and you liked to push him. You two were volatile, but somehow, you two made it work. He loves fiercely and so do you. Sergio always knew you were the one, he always said it was the way you would ignore him that got him. 

But you weren’t ignoring him, you just didn’t like him. 

And the dislike eventually grew to fondness to friendship and then to love. 

“Babe, it's a prank.” You stopped recording, saving the video as a draft and showing him where you got the idea from. 

Sergio looked at you and shook his head. “You’re such damn trouble.” He chuckled, playing the movie once again. “I’m gonna have to start watching some videos, just so we can be at an even playing field.”

“Do you know the seconds too?”

“That’s pushing it.”

You had to laugh at that. “That’s pushing it?” 

Sergio turned to you and kissed you. Junior let out a giggle along with your youngest son Thiago. “Babe, you’re the longest commitment I’ve had besides being in the Madrid team. So yes, I value and keep track of how long we’ve been together, pretty soon, I’ll be counting marriage years.”

“You know, we should just get married at a courthouse. All we need is your mom, my mom and there we go. Hell, we can even do it virtually.”

Sergio paused the movie again. “I want you to have your dream wedding.”

“I don’t have one, I just want to be married to you.”

Sergio chuckled and shook his head. “You know that’s what I want to, but I want us to be able to celebrate with our family and friends. To really enjoy the fact that we’ve annoyed them with our PDA for ten years.”

You laughed. “You’re such a dork.” You pushed his head. “Okay, we can wait. As long as I become Mrs. Ramos at the end.”

“Baby, there’s no way you won’t be Mrs. Ramos at the end. I told you three years in, it’s you and me.” Sergio squeezed your thigh. “Te queiro mi amor.” He kissed you again.

And it was true, Sergio had told you he was going to marry you some day on your third year anniversary. You brushed it off and said we’ll see next year. And each year after that, Sergio upped his game. Finally, on your eight year anniversary he proposed. It’s not like he didn’t want to do it earlier, but he knew for some reason you weren’t ready. A relationship was one thing but an engagement was another.

“Love you too.” You had your hand at the back of his neck, scratching it, a gesture Sergio absolutely adored. 

You two watched the movie, mostly Sergio whole you browsed around TikTok. You started saving videos to do with Sergio. Another one you wanted to do was the ‘what three things would you take with you if we got divorced’? 

But you would save that for next time.

Let the TikTok videos begin.

[herefortheships]

Natsu has always been a dork. BUT in 100 yeas quest I don’t know why Mashima is writing him like dumber than usual... And him thinking that human babies also come from eggs at this point is kinda overdone and not funny anymore. Like, it’s been explained to him so many times you would think he already understood? Man, I worry about this kid. lmao

Anyway, I guess that’s Mashima telling us: Natsu is too innocent to hook up with a girl right now. Which is why it infuriates me so much. Because he’s had character development in the original series, and he is not “too innocent baby uwu can’t fall in love” when the guy has wanted to peek at naked Lucy before and has gotten jealous of other guys staring at her (100YQ chapter 26). 

Look, Natsu has had his serious moments, and while, yes, he is a goof ball; he is our dearly beloved cute dork, but also underneath there is a very energetic, passionate guy who loves his guild and his friends who are his family; a young man who is willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones and loves to fight for the fun of it but would never do it to harm others... I don’t even know where I’m going with this little rant anymore, but I guess what I am trying to say is that Natsu is *not* just a simple minded dork with a single interest in fighting, like he is being written lately. He is so much more than that, and I miss seeing his more serious side. Where are his personal motivations?! Where are his worries, his fears... 

Lately he is just this comedic character, ready to fight whoever whenever, with a side of naughty fan service and that’s kinda it. He is all these things, yes, but he’s also much more than that and I miss him...

And then there’s the constant dumbing-down! Natsu has had a rough life; he’s been alone ever since Igneel disappeared from his life and his family has been his guild mates, so he never had a normal upbringing and all, so you can understand why he is ignorant about a lot of things about life, but Natsu is not so dumb to fail to understand, at this point, when he is grown up and has even had feelings for someone (come on, he must know he feels something about Lucy at this point... Or maybe he’s not aware it’s romantic love, but he has felt things, you understand what I am saying between the lines here? lol tl;dr: Natsu is a big boy, and he must have learned by himself some things that were not necessarily explained to him by a grown-up), at this freaking heights, you can’t tell me that Natsu, at this point, would still not know that a freaking human baby does not hatch from an egg. Or, that women don’t lay eggs... 🙃

Anyway, Mashima, what are you even doing?? How can Fairy Tail 100YQ go from being a bit over the top with the fan service (see chapter 74! Hello!) and then do a 180 and be so darn innocent? How can the story get so serious (chapter 22) and then basically address it for a couple of panels and then ignore these intense moments happened... I don’t even know. It’s like Mashima knows he has pre-teen readers and adult readers alike, so he tries to keep a balance, but fails miserably. He’s also more focused on EZ and FT is suffering because of it; if his heart is not in it, then he could just let FT in the hands of another writer who’s more interested in the story?

Rant over. I’m sorry. lol

I just have a lot of feelings. 

Tl;dr: Mashima keeps dumbing down and playing down my boy Natsu and it’s beginning to annoy me.

[donut-entendre]

For the ask - Tucker! 🍿

Oh man, I don't talk about Tucker enough, do I? Well, here we

Why I like them: Tucker is such a real person. He's a real guy you can just... find. He's competent and insecure and he's clever, observant, and angry, he's a good dad and he's a nerd, he's sarcastic and a smartmouth and it's all just OUGH. He's a real dude! You can sympathize with him even if he's a little shit sometimes, and he really fucking cares about doing the right thing and being responsible. He's got a lot on his shoulders that he never wanted on them and it shows.

Why I don’t: The. Gross sexual stuff. His defense mechanism of acting gross so he'll know why people don't like him works on me I am thoroughly repelled. To be fair though those anti-livestock predator blinky lights also work on me so like,

Okay I'm deleting these two categories because I don't really think about this

Favorite line: "If you had backed up any further you would've had to mail him the bullets!"

Favorite outfit: Halo 3 armor FTW. He should have gotten to keep the Meta armor though. I know it was a game limitation but :(

OTP: A fan of many pairings, but chucker and... hm... Okay I do like sucker too. Imagine Tucker, Grif, Simmons, and Kai all being like, legally interconnected. Who needs kids when your sister's bf has at least 10+?

Brotp: Lina & Tucker have sibling energy to me. Also Tucker and Caboose r bro energy. Tucker and Grif. As much of a fan I am of the concept of slut squad (Kai, Donut, Tucker) I think Tucker and Donut wouldn't actually get along for the most part tbh but Kai and Tucker could be good friends ez.

Head Canon: Okay so I think perceiving the sexual stuff as a defense mechanism is a headcanon technically bc it's reading into show meta but I also think it's partially him suppressing the Bisexual. He is Not looking at it he does not see it.

Unpopular opinion: I don't... think I have any.

A wish: Can Tucker get some fucking closure. Can Tucker get some FUCKING closure from Church's story. Please. Please. He needs it dearly

An oh-god-please-don't-ever-happen: It already did. (Fuck you rvb team during seasons 16-18) But through the power of ignoring things I don't like, it didn't. Anyway if it ever happens again I'll drive my ass the six hours it takes to get to RT HQ and personally shove a boot up the show director's ass

“I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to take a picture with Santa Claus.”

number 11 for the winter ask

It only took me two weeks (oops!) but...winter prompt!! Featuring sad Rayla being cheered up by her favorite dork (and company)...big found family vibes bc it's what Rayla deserves. <3 <3 <3

#11: “I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to take a picture with Santa Claus.”

Once the weather had started to turn—temperatures dropping, rain shifting to sleety, not-quite snow, the nights stretching on longer and longer—so had Rayla’s mood.

At first, Callum hadn’t been sure of what to make of the persistent, unhappy slump in her shoulders when she chose to tag along with him to council meetings and the rest of his duties each day. Preparing for all of the festivities that he and Ez had only ever had to go to before rather than plan…it was all exhausting, sure, and bittersweet—so much had changed since last December—but the way she’d been staring into space, drifting quietly to the edges of rooms, curling up all by herself...

It was more than exhausted, and more than bittersweet. It wasn’t just the anxious static that’d been in the background since she’d agreed to come home with him til spring either.

It wasn’t right, it wasn’t her, and it’d taken some well-timed and—admittedly—overly cheery prodding to figure out exactly what was going on. It all made sense, though, once he had.

“It’s almost been a year,” she’d muttered darkly, holding herself together by the elbows. Callum doubled her efforts, wrapping his arms around her before excusing the both of them from dinner.

The approaching winter holiday coincided with the anniversary of what had to have been the worst news Rayla had ever gotten, and Callum knew that—besides giving into how badly he knew she wanted to take off on an ill-advised winter trek across the continent looking for Viren—consoling her was the best he could do to help right now.

Distraction via holiday cheer—Xadian holiday cheer—then, was the only solution…no matter how Rayla’s grumpiness kept thwarting his efforts.

Winter festivals were definitely a thing in Xadia—she’d told him that herself, months ago, between fond eye-rolls and mild exasperation—but no matter how carefully he prodded, he’d gotten nothing more than a few random details, dancing all the while along the edge of Rayla’s big-feelings-shortened patience.

His co-conspirators had had more luck. Rayla had happily and sassily corrected Soren’s—deliberately?—clueless assumptions about elven holidays over their most recent sparring session, and Ez was pretty much the only person in the world that Rayla would humor no matter what, so she’d been glad to answer his oh-so-innocent questions about Xadian holidays in preparation, he’d said, for the upcoming peace summit.

Callum didn’t think Rayla was on to them, but she’d definitely been skeptical when the three of them had shown up at her bedroom door, ready to escort her to the snow-covered courtyard, but all Callum had had to do was thread his fingers between hers and copy the grin on Ezran’s face...and with all of them beaming at her, she’d softened.

Judging by the way she’d stiffened to a stand-still when their set-up came into view, though…something had clearly gotten lost in translation, between Ez and Soren and his own digging through whatever books he could find about Xadia

“Uh,” she started, an eyebrow lifted. She followed the boys closer to the recently red-painted sleigh where they’d asked recently red-clad Barius to wait. “What’s all this?”

Callum’s face heated, doubting their research based on Rayla’s reaction, but Soren and Ez were undeterred and called out in unison:

“Santa Claus!”

“We, uh…” Callum started, attempting an explanation for what he was quickly realizing had been a horrible idea. “We wanted to do something that would cheer you up, but—”

“And since you can’t go home for the holidays—” Ez continued obliviously, letting Soren finish his sentence, as if on cue.

“We brought the holidays to you!”

Bait croaked as cheerily as Callum had ever heard.

Unsure of the mixture of uncertainty and amusement on Rayla’s face, Callum shrugged in answer to the questioning look she gave him.

“Uh huh,” Rayla said, turning to take in the scene before them. “Hi, Barius,” she said.

Callum covered his face with his hand while Soren pantomimed the “traditional” Santa response.

“Uh…ho, ho, ho?” said Barius.

Rayla’s brow furrowed further. She was smiling at least…at their expense, though, Callum was sure.

“So…?” Ezran said, gesturing towards Barius awkwardly waving from the garland-lined sleigh and then to Callum, who’d realized at this point that Katolis’s library was probably not the most reliable source for information about Xadian holiday traditions.

The plan had been a picture with Santa. Rayla had mentioned visiting Santa Claus to Ez, and one of the books had mentioned portraits with Santa Claus, among other things they hadn’t understood enough to replicate…

He held up his sketchbook apologetically, cringing.

Rayla blinked once, then twice, between all parties involved.

“Oh. Oh, no. You want me to—?” She shook her head, pointing between herself and the sleigh, before her arms settled crossed over her chest. “No, no, no. I’m way too old for that. I do not want a picture with Santa Claus.”

Ezran and Soren frowned, looking at each other, down at Bait, then at each other again, finally realizing, Callum thought, that this was not right.

Soren looked confused, like he was trying to recall the page Callum had shown them from the library. “But…how will Santa’s moose—mooses? meese?—know where to find you?”

“That’s—” Rayla started scoffing, but stopped short when Ezran’s frown turned toward her. “Oh, fine.” She sighed, marching toward the sleigh then pausing to look back over her shoulder. Callum felt some of his embarrassment lift, hearing how very clearly affected and good-natured her exasperation was. “Well, come on, then. Not doing this alone.”

Grinning, the boys left Callum down below—sketchbook in hand—and arranged themselves on either side of Barius, Ez in front of Rayla.

“Was this your bright idea?” Rayla asked Ez, squishing down his hair. Callum flushed again when his brother ratted him out and kept his eyes on the vague beginning of his drawing. “Ah,” she hummed, her head cocked to the side, pursing her lips the way she did when she was trying not to smile. “Awful quiet over there, mage.”.

“Yeah, well…” Callum said, looking up and coughing to hide the way his breath caught at the sweet, teasing glimmer in her eyes that he hadn’t seen shine quite so brightly in a long while. “I, uh…don’t think we got this right, did we?” He added, nearly dropping his charcoal into the snow at how suddenly and how heartily she laughed.

“No, not even a little bit,” she giggled, her cheeks growing pink. Rayla’s hand landed on then squeezed at Ez’s shoulder. She even looked over at Soren warmly before turning back to Callum, grinning more cheerfully than she had in weeks. “But…this is better.”

Smiles

Ez Reyes x Reader

REQUESTED BY @ly--canthrope // Babesss, I have a cutesy prompt for Ez: “You’d better not smile like that at anyone else.”, “You’re ridiculous. And I love you. And I’ll prove it right now...” & “you’re the only one who can make me smile like this.” I’m imagining Ez finding it amusing that she is a little jealous when they are out walking/shopping in town, despite his hand being in hers 😍

No matter where you went you felt everyone’s eyes on you. Well your husband to be precise.

Tightening your grip on his bicep as a group of girls walked by giggling and checking your husband out. Ez felt your grip tighten on him and a smile spread across his face.

“You okay Querida?” He asked looking at you as you glared at the girls.

“Just fine” you mumbled as you pushed your body closer to Ez’

“Are you jealous babygirl?” He smirked, kissing your head as he walked.

Looking up to see him smiling like a dork at your behaviour.

“You better not smile like that at anyone else” you mumbled.

“You are ridiculous” he chuckled “but I love you and I’m going to prove it to you”

All of a sudden he pulled you to a stop before crashing his lips against yours, pulling you close into his body, your lips moving in sync, heart beating fast.

As he pulled away his grin was huge as he rested his forehead against yours.

“You’re the only one who can make me smile like this wifey” Ez whispered before kissing your lips again.

Drawn Out, 4th: Spray Paint

It was Rayla’s 10th birthday tomorrow, and she broke her skateboard… somehow, last week. She was lucky that was all she broke, really.

It hadn’t been a very good skateboard, to be fair. Rayla had bought it from some kid at school for 3 dollars and a juicebox, because Runaan and Ethari did not have enough trust in her self-preservation skills to get her one, a sentiment Callum did understand, but Rayla would just buy another poopy secondhand one if no one else did.

And he had a better one, his great-uncle had given him for his birthday two weeks ago, because he had offhandedly mentioned meeting Rayla at the skate park, one time.

He had never used it, nor would he, because he fell over his own feet just walking, never mind trying to balance on some wobbly thing moving on its own beneath you. And it was technically an expensive gift, except it didn’t feel right, giving her something he hadn’t gotten for her but just had lying around. It wasn’t for her, it was meant for him or… not really that either, it was some ‘that’s what kids like, right?’ kinda present from someone who didn’t know him very well.

It had some kinda generic orange graffiti on it Rayla wouldn’t like. Rayla would want her dream skateboard to look like it belonged to a badass assassin, he knew, because she had told him exactly that. This skateboard looked like it belonged to a guy named Bob or Peter, who was definitely not an assassin, but possibly an accountant riding his skateboard on the way to the store to buy milk, because according to the school books, that’s how guys named Peter spent their time.

Maybe he could change that, though? He obviously couldn’t make her a skateboard, but maybe he could make this one hers.

First, the clothes’ wire he had used to drag Ez and Bait around the living room had to go.

Ez would understand. He had claimed Rayla as his much-cooler-than-Callum big sister ages ago, had started greeting her with toddler-tackle-hugs from around the third time she had come over after school, and had never stopped.

The skate park was just around the corner, and he was allowed to go there on his own, so he did. His step-dad was working, anyway, and Ez was busy pretending Bait was a magical color-changing toad with berry-scented burps. That last part was a real feat of imagination. Nothing that grumpy little pug expelled was berry-scented or anything close.

Callum was in luck, because Crowmaster was at the skate park, and he was the nicest of all the 9th graders. He had let him and Rayla pet his little grey finch named ‘Crow’ for some reason, and shown Callum all his paint cans and told him the names of all the colors he hadn’t known.

“Crowmaster?” Callum asked, walking up to him.

Crowmaster painted skateboards with skulls and creepy dead roses and things, he knew. Really more Claudia’s thing than Rayla’s, but maybe he would let him use his paints? He didn’t think his watercolors would stick.

“You called me Crowmaster!” Crowmaster looked like he might cry.

“Uh, yeah? You said that was your name?”

“It is!” Crowmaster said eagerly. “It is.”

“You’re lucky. It’s a really cool name. I like birds and flying. My name is just Callum though. I don’t think it means anything except… Soren says it means ‘dork alert’.”

“Your name means ‘sky’, or almost, anyway. That’s pretty cool. I write poetry in Latin, that’s how I know.”

Wow, Crowmaster was so cool.

And he helped him unscrew the wheels from Rayla’s skateboard-to-be, which Callum hadn’t known you were supposed to do, and he let him use his tape and spray-paint without even taking the 2 dollars he had brought.

It was a pretty cool assassin skateboard, at the end, Callum thought. Even Crowmaster thought so, even though he thought skulls would have fit better than the lines and gradients Callum made. Assassins couldn’t just advertise that they were assassins though, that wouldn’t make any sense. It had to be subtler than skulls, for sure.

Yeah, it was nice. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, which was good, because Rayla always looked at his drawings for a really long time.

“Is Crow named after the movie?” Oh, that was Rayla. Callum quickly jumped in front of the disassembled skateboard, the varnish still drying.

But she was petting Crow, and not paying too much attention.

“No,” Crowmaster said nervously. Rayla was a bit straightforward for his temperament, Callum thought. “After the bird. It’s a good movie though, I have the VHS. You seen it?” He looked a bit dubious, at that. Rayla was wearing one of her sparklier Sailor Moon t-shirts today, you could be forgiven for thinking she wasn’t an aspiring assassin.

She was though, just a very nice and flamboyant assassin who wouldn’t kill anyone, just be really good at it if she was so inclined. Which she was not. So no skulls, Callum was sure. Crowmaster didn’t have any sparkly paint because it didn’t really go with his aesthetic, or Callum would have used it.

“I’m not allowed to see it,” Rayla grumbled. Wow, it had to be really violent then, because as strict as Runaan was in many ways, he did not do much in the way of restricting the movies Rayla was allowed to watch. She knew more about garroting than any almost-10-year-old should, according to his step-dad. His aunt approved of her garroting knowledge, at least. “It ended Bruce Lee’s legacy,” Rayla continued. “…and I’m not even allowed to watch it, just unfair-”

She cut off, looking over at Callum, smiling very sweetly for an assassin, but normally, for a Rayla.

“You look happy,” she grinned. “Enjoying the last day we’re both 9? You know, tomorrow, I’ll leave you behind, alone in the sad, sad single digits for almost a whole year.”

…she would.

He hadn’t thought of her birthday like that.

She was already way taller than him, and wasn’t afraid to go down the halfpipe or do presentations in class and… And… people would notice how cool she was and invite her to parties and on dates and whatever 10-year-olds did and-

“Pffft, not like that, dummy!” she laughed. “Ages are dumb, like the dumb ‘17’ on the back of the cover of ‘The Crow’ and-” She cocked her head at him, smiling very sweetly for an assassin, but normally, for a Rayla. “And you’re here… right? And I’m not going anywhere, I can be really immature, Runaan says so himself.”

Yeah… yeah.

When Rayla would inevitably borrow Crowmaster’s VHS and traumatize herself and need two hours of Pingu before she could sleep… yeah, he’d be there. With her.
