series masterlist . AO3

A/N: This is my first time committing to write a complete series of a fic. Also my first time posting it on tumblr so i'm still navigating and figuring things out. I love reading unrequited love with a happy ending stories so this has been living in my head rent free for awhile. I speak broken English most of the time (singlish iykyk) so there might be errors in my writing here and there, sorry bout that. Idk if anyone is gonna read this but if you do, i hope you enjoy it. This is prolly gonna be a 5 part series so the next few chapters will be longer than this.

Knock, Knock, Knock

You finish up washing your hands in the sink before shouting over your shoulders, “Coming!”

You dried your hands before making your way to the front door. You quickly put on your coat before opening the door and finding Tommy leaning against your porch with his hands in his front pockets.

“Good morning!” he say with a smile, “Ready to go?” he asks, turning his body to gesture them to walk out front. You nod your head and turn to lock your door. Both of you walk out and make your way to the cafeteria for breakfast as usual.

The cafeteria is filled with people in the morning. After getting your food, both of you made your way to the table in the corner with Maria, Ellie and Joel already seated eating their food. As you get closer, Tommy went to Maria’s side and bent down to kiss her on the cheek before sitting beside her. You sit down beside Ellie and gave your greetings to the group.

“Good morning,” you greet them.

“Morning.” Ellie greeted back with mouthful of food still in her mouth.

You get a nod from Maria as she looks up at you while eating her food. Maria has been nice to you from the moment you got to Jackson. Even though she can be strict and tough at times, that is what makes you admire her. You, on the other hand, are reserved and laid back. You are not a leader but more of a follower. That’s why you respect her a lot because of what she’s doing for the community.

It’s been 3 years since you arrived in Jackson, tattered with the remnants of the past and  the pain within you. It was difficult to adjust to the community at first but the couple currently sitting in front of you embraced you into the community with open arms without any judgement. They taught you everything that you need to know about Jackson and since then, you have been living here without much difficulties.

Unlike Maria, Joel does not even acknowledge your presence and keep on eating his breakfast with a frown on his face. You wonder if you will get to be the receiver of his smile one day. You had seen him smile a couple of times while talking to Tommy and you want to see his smile more often.

However, Joel is someone who distances himself from everybody else and has a tough exterior. People in Jackson find him intimidating and stay as far away as possible from him, scared to agitate and make him angry. He’s always tensed around everyone except the ones that he consider his people like Tommy and Ellie.

Joel and Ellie came to Jackson a year ago to find Tommy and that was when you saw him letting his guard down for the first time when embracing his brother in the middle of the town. After that, he had returned back in his shell refusing to open up to anybody. In the beginning, you tried to come up to him and strike a conversation but he always reply with one word answer or silence or a glare that can burn through your skull. You understand that after everything that happened to this world, it’s tough to live with optimism and hope like before.

Ever since he arrived, he had caught your eye. With his rugged appearance, tic in his jaw every now and then, a face that doesn’t show you a hint of happiness and you still can’t take your eyes of him when he’s around. You don’t know why you seek to look or ask about him when he’s not around. You have been harbouring this feeling towards him for a year now. It’s starting to bubble up on the surface and you’re afraid that you can’t contain it anymore.

You shake those thoughts away and start to dig in your food. Breakfast is filled with Ellie telling everybody on the table about things that she learned in school and asking us about life before the outbreak. Tommy and Maria answer her questions and Joel scoffs at what she said sometimes. You watch her talk about life before the outbreak with wonder in her eyes and you can’t help but smile at her. She brings up the feeling of serenity in you when you see the curiosity in her eyes.

Seeing the world through a kid’s eye is something that we adults cannot afford to do anymore. You are caught up in what Ellie is saying that you don’t realise that Joel, who is sitting on the other side of Ellie, is looking at you. You stare in each other’s eyes for a few seconds before he look away and go back to finishing his food.

“How are you feeling today?” Maria ask you.

“I’m good,” you answer, tearing your eyes away from Joel.

“Do you mind covering Tim on patrols next week?” Joel looks up hearing this. Tim is Joel’s patrol partner. They’ve been partners for almost a month now. Apparently, Tim and Joel don’t get along well. I mean, no one gets along well with Joel. Anyone that got assigned to be his partner always backed out after a few weeks. They cannot find anyone that can handle him except for Tommy. For awhile, Tommy was his partner but they cannot let him stick with him all the time as they needed Tommy’s help somewhere else sometimes.

You look at Joel to gauge his reaction. His stern look towards Maria is not breaking.

“Yeah I don’t mind.” You turn your head to look at the couple. Tommy is giving you an apologetic look knowing Joel is difficult to work with. He look at Joel who has turn his eyes away from Maria and now towards him.

“Joel, please. We don’t have anyone else.” Tommy says with a begging look on his face. Joel stares at him without saying anything.

“Oh come on man, is it so difficult to not be mean?” Ellie breaks the silence. Joel frown at her as she continues to speak.

“She’s my friend and she’s nice,” her eyes widen to emphasise her words.

“I don’t want you to infect her with your ‘old man attitude’,” she air quote annoyingly, making Joel to soften his eyes a little bit.

“Besides, she’s the only one that can stand you and your grumpiness.” Joel look at her confused. You are confused too by what she said. What does she mean by that? Tommy and Maria exchange glances before Maria speaks again.

“If everyone is ok with it, I’ll see you at the gates for patrol next week.” She looks at everyone for confirmation before stopping to look at you. You give her a nod before she stands up to start her day. Everybody quietly leaves before you are left with Ellie alone who still has a little bit of food to finish.

You timidly ask her about what she meant earlier, “Ellie, what do you mean when you said I’m the only one that can stand him and his grumpiness?”

Ellie looks at you with a mischievous glint in her eyes. She smirks and continue to eat her food not answering your question.

“Ellie!” you urge her to answer you.

She just laugh at you and stands up to return her tray. You are left alone being confused.

Feeling a little bit sluggish from the day, you make yourself a nice hot tea and make your way to your front porch. You sit down on your chair, immersing yourself in the calm stillness of the night. You have always enjoy the nights in Jackson more than the daytime. 

As you are relaxing, what happened earlier today, creeps up in your mind. The way Joel was looking at you makes your heart beat faster. What was he thinking while looking at you like that? Also, what did Ellie meant when she said that I’m the only one that can stand him and his grumpiness? You did not spend a lot of time with him alone for her to think that way.

You are perplexed on joining him on patrols, knowing the fact that a lot of people had a tough time with him. You cannot back out from it now and you are taking this opportunity to get to know him better.

While you are in thinking about Joel, you hear the strumming of a guitar nearby. It must be him. Joel lives adjacent to your house and you know that he plays the guitar some nights thinking no one is around to hear him play. You are not able to see him play because he plays the guitar at his back porch all the time. You did get to see him play once when he was back facing you, sitting at the edge of his porch, taking in the sunset. You had thought it was a beautiful view even though he wasn’t facing you.

You did not tell anyone about your feelings for him but you think that maybe Tommy has caught on to it. Sometimes he caught you looking at his brother and he would give you a mischievous smirk.

You have been wanting to tell Joel about your feelings that you’ve kept for about a year now. You also know that it is a risk as he will probably react badly to it. You do not expect him to accept it. You are doing it mostly for yourself. Call it selfish or whatever but you think it’s better to let those feelings out and move on with your life without keeping a secret that will only eat you from the inside.

Having a crush for a year is a long time and you think that it won’t progress any further so you’d rather do it fearlessly with no regrets. With a determination to confess , you let yourself listen to him playing the guitar for awhile more before calling it a night.

Headcanons (ASMODEUS)

You may have noticed that I love Asmo more than the world itself😋 so here are some head cannons I have for him! Sorry about no post yesterday I'm making up for it with this one so enjoy!

SFW

Warnings: mentions of aphrodisiac, physical insecurities

-He paints all his brother’s nails, because as he says “You have enough issues, don’t let your nails be one of them.”

-I just feel like Asmo is one of the shorter brothers along with Belphie I’d say he’s on the shorter side of demons. Maybe 6’0 with the average being about 6’6 for Demons.

-In his demon form, however, I think he’d be 6’3 not including his horns. I just feel like Asmo gives little asshole(affectionate) vibes but he’s definitely not human short.

-Is his cum an Aphrodisiac? Hell yea, I’d go as far as to say all of his bodily fluids are at will. So when you're kissing Asmo and feel just a little too warm for a kiss you pull away face flushed and eyes big. He smirks knowing exactly what he’s doing to you. there goes the sfw tag

-Look he’s the avatar of lust that comes with some skills, some of which are practically magic. Now his ability to know your pleasure points after touching you is airing on the side of magic.

-We know Asmo can’t charm MC but if he could, you would both have a great time. When you’ve had a long day and are just sick of stressing and overthinking you would come to him and he’d make it all go away without a touch.

-He would never take advantage of you, even the way he lusts for you is something new to him. He doesn't only crave you sexually but emotionally. He craves your soft touch and gentle kisses. Just to hold your hand or waist and be close to you.

-It’ll take him an embarrassing amount of time to realize that he’s in love of course

-As particular as he is about looks he thinks you look beautiful all the time. At first, he would be embarrassed that another being could live up to his expectations of beauty until he remembers that you're his. As beautiful and stunning as you are you belong to him, you chose him.

-If you sleep with him not like that, unless.. he sleeps nude. The most he’ll put on is a very loose robe if you're really that uncomfortable. His brothers have definitely learned not to wake him up by removing the covers

-He has longish hair, I refuse to believe that Asmo doesn't have long fluffy hair. Like a Korean-style wolf cut. Like in all honesty, they missed a chance to give him beautiful fairy hair in-game

-He loves all of his brothers and makes sure they always know he has time for them. Occasionally one of them will join him for his night routine and he’ll give them the full spa treatment. Especially Beel when he’s sore from workouts

-Sad times… he values his appearance so much that he’s convinced others do as well. It’s gotten to the point that when he notices small imperfections like acne he doesn’t want anyone to see him, even though his brothers have tried to let him know they don’t care he won't listen. Sometimes one of them will stop by his door to talk to him since he won't leave.

-He has a spreadsheet to keep track of when his makeup or skincare expires because he will NOT risk anything happening to his beautiful face

-He’s got a very airy and soft look, sharp features but still in a way a soft fairy-like look, IDK he’s just… dainty yk

-Run’s your social media page, I feel like the online culture is way different in the Devildom so he absolutely manages your account and you easily become the second most followed account, after him of course.

-If he’s ever left to wake you up he does it in the most soft way possible because you look so peaceful. He’d brush the side of your cheek and gently call your name.

-No physical labor, he just doesn't do it. Taking out the trash? Sounds like a job for anyone else. Honestly, I see him calling on Beel a lot in that way anytime he needs something moved his baby bro has got his back.

- He is so ticklish, he’s good at hiding it but his sides are extremely ticklish, and that’s something you have to find out yourself because he never tells anyone

AITA for ‘forcing’ my dad to drive me home while I had COVID, and then cutting contact?

Sorry if this isn’t allowed, but it’s been weighing on me for the past year and a half so I want to get an outside opinion because I’m still afraid it’s my fault. Basically, my (22F) parents are split; it was bad and they both hate each other, call the other abusive, etc. I live with my mom, but we used to alternate holidays, and my dad had Christmas 2021. I don't get on with him; we're very different, he's very judgemental, he doesn't like that I'm very close with Mom, and we've fallen out in the past (I still regret coming out to him). I didn't want to go, TBH, but I did because my siblings wanted me there.

Christmas went fine but I was running out of energy to deal with him afterwards and that's where it started. He'd agreed to take me and my youngest brother home (2.5 hr drive) on the 28th, and we made plans around that, but two days before he announced that he wouldn't unless Mom agreed to meet him halfway; that's normal, but since he'd already agreed to drive the whole way, she had gone away and was flying home that day. He refused to take us home until she was free. We had an argument over this, and I decided I'd just get the train if he didn't want to drive me.

That day, however, my stepsister got COVID, and we all tried to isolate from her, but me and my youngest brother tested positive on the 28th. I'll be honest, at that point, I think I was selfish. My plans were already cancelled, but I was at my wits' end with Dad and I couldn't handle another week of isolation with him. My room at his house was also just one end of the kitchen, which everyone else has to use, whereas at home I have my own bedroom with a bathroom right next door, so I could isolate much more easily and safely at home. Our rules at the time were if you were visiting somewhere, you were allowed to travel home to isolate so long as you didn't use public transport; Mom still wanted us home.

We got into a fight about this; Dad said I had to stay there. I snapped at him it wasn't my home, and he'd get COVID from me anyway there. He put his foot down and said he wasn't taking me, and I thought that was the end of it. Until two hours later, when he told me to get in the car, and said he'd drive me and my brother home; I genuinely think that he was expecting me to back down then, but I didn't.

Twice on the journey he berated me for being selfish; I told him I didn't force him. After he dropped me off, he sent me three text messages of the same, including saying I was as bad as my Mom and ordering me to tell her she was a bad person. I blocked his number, so he sent me an email warning me to "be careful who I ally myself with" and threatening me not to side with Mom. At that point, I cut all contact and blocked his email.

As far as I know, he never got COVID. He's emailed me a few times since (blocking him just sends them straight to my bin, I still see them); he's asked me to meet up with him a few times, and keeps getting my brother to ask when I’m going to talk to him again. I’ve never had an apology or even a real acknowledgment of what happened, except an “I know you’re still angry” at one point, and he still sends me presents and stuff even though I’ve told my brother I don’t want anything.

IDK, I still just feel really bad about the whole thing. So, AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[danganronpafan777]

I see your request are open soooo

Dra boys x child reader where mitch kicks a football and it hits y/n in the face please. Just thought it would be kinda funny

Idk why, but having to imagine Y/n getting hit for every scenario kept making me think of this video lmao

#StopY/nAbuse

I say with like 20 Y/n angst requests-

Mitch Higa:

He would never hurt you on purpose, he can only pray that you know that, despite your young age

The two of you were kicking the ball back and forth, and thanks to a distraction, which was totally not a group of girls awing at him and you, Mitch ended up kicking the ball a little too hard...

POW!

The moment he realized what he did, he immediately felt awful. 

"SHIT! Y/n! Wait- Forget you heard that! I'm sorry! Does it hurt?"

He has no idea how to really help, so he just begs for forgiveness and gets you an icepack. Mitch decides to get you some icecream and VIP access for his next big game. 

"Thank you, big bro!"

"Haha...Yeah... Let's just not mention this to our parents-"

Haruhiko Kobashikawa:

Mitch may be his friend and idol, but he was still pissed that you were hurt because of him.

"Y/n!! Are you alright? Does it hurt?? MITCH! What the hell, dude!?"

Haru's first priority is comforting you, which means getting you an icepack and a lollipop he stole from Kanata (Probably with your help-)

Kiyoka, Satsuki, and Teruya help cheer you up! Mitch apologizes multiple times, and Haru personally forgives him pretty quickly, but he won't make you if you don't want to

He tries to be more aware of your surroundings, and tries to keep you away from anything dangerous for a while, but eventually gets hit in the face himself

Teruya Otori:

He was NOT expecting it in the slightest. One moment he's talking about making new clothes for you, and the next, you're crying on the ground, clutching your face.

"AAAAAAH! Y/n!! Wha' happ'nd!?"

Teruya frantically runs to your side, and as Mitch runs over, he finally realizes what happened. He's angry at Mitch, but slightly understanding since it was an accident. He mostly feels mad at himself for not being able to protect you, but he knows basic first aid, so he helps you with that. 

He thinks you should forgive Mitch, but won't push it. When your father found out about what happened, he spoiled you with practically the whole store.

Per your father's wishes, Teruya tried to keep a closer eye on you from then on, letting you help him and the sunshine quartet prank Mitch in revenge

Yamato Kisaragi:

"Y/n!! Ohmygosh! HELP!"

Anytime you're hurt, Yamato immediately freaks out and yells for help, even if you were barely scratched. His fears vanish after a few moments, but he still keeps up the silly act for you. 

Sure, this wasn't his first time as a big brother, but he wasn't the kindest to Mikako when she was your age, and he won't make that mistake again. If he has to make a fool out of himself to show how much he cares about you, or even make you giggle a bit? So be it.

If you're still crying after some time, he'll make a show of hitting himself in the face with a football, too.

He'll lecture Mitch whether you'll there or not, but forgives him quickly, and will not hesitate to beg or give puppy dog eyes if you still refuse to accept Mitch's apology after a couple days. 

He makes you a tiny safety robot to help watch your surroundings when he's not there (And also when he is there but he wants to look strong in front of you-)

Utsuro:

He had to be greatly distracted for his divine luck to not prevent this, and even then, he's still in shock for a few seconds after the ball hits you

"...."

He doesn't say anything, quickly checking you over and making sure you don't have a concussion. (Not like he'd have any idea how to help you outside of his luck in that situation)

Mitch apologizes, already hearing the boss music and older brother instincts from Utsuro kicking in.

"...apologize to Y/n. Not me." 

He obliges, getting down on his knees at one point. Utsuro leaves it up to you to forgive him or not, but either way, Mitch loses almost every soccer game he's in for months afterword

Kakeru Yamaguchi:

"A-Ah! I-It's okay, Y/n! It was an accident, r-right!?" He reassures you, trying to give a comforting smile. (But it looks terrifying, and Mitch thinks Kakeru's about to kill him)

Mitch can only rapidly nod his head, getting an icepack. Even if the injury is minor, Kakeru would still bring you to Kanata to be extra safe. 

You're soon smiling again as your Big Sis Kanata gives you a lollipop

He still feels bad about not being able to prevent something like this, so he'll basically give you anything you want for the next few days. You reassure him that it wasn't his fault and you love him, but you'll still accept his offers to carry you-

Kinji Uehara:

"...! Y/n, it's alright... Shh...I'm here..."

He's caught off guard, but is quick to calm you down. He keeps his voice soft and gentle, reassuring you that it would be alright, while also checking for signs of a concussion. Kinji will definitely bring you to Kanata just to be sure.

As long as Mitch apologizes, Kinji forgives him, and believes you should as well. Even if it's your face that's hurt, he'll offer to give you a piggyback ride to help make you feel better

He'll lecture Mitch later and have him properly apologize to you, but until then, he'll spoil you with attention

Yuki Maeda:

"Y/n! Hey...! It's okay, just show me where it hurts..."

He's sent into a panic at first, but relaxes a bit upon realizing it's nothing serious. He's moderately annoyed at Mitch, but calming you down is his first priority. 

He's not very experienced in first aid, so he'll get an ice pack if you ask for one, and would take you to Kanata if you show any symptoms of a concussion. 

Yuki forgives him within the day, and advises you to do the same since it was an accident. He reassures you that he will make sure nothing like this happens again

You wrap your arms around your big brother, and he hugs you tightly, promising himself to be more aware from now own

Tsurugi Kinjo:

Tsurugi was always protective over you, scolding his classmates any time they tried to prank you, and almost killing a man after he tried to kidnap you

The moment that ball hit you, Mitch knew he had to either start running or beg for mercy

So you have chosen... DEATH.

If you started crying, Mitch would be ending up in tears as well by the time Tsurugi is done with him

Your brother won't resort to violence, since it was an accident and he was his classmate, but Mitch got the scolding of a lifetime

Even in twenty years, Tsurugi would still be salty about this. 

His overprotectiveness only increases and you start to worry that one day he won't let you outside- 

[quirkle2]

PLEASE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE LEGENDS ARCEUS AU I'M SO NORMAL ABOUT IT <- LYING I AM NOT NORMAL

HI WE'LL BOTH BE NORMAL TOGETHER

(uhm warning for injury/blood/whump, parental death, uhhhhhhhhh fire? a lot happens (also idk if the read more thing has been fixed so let's pray. i refuse to smack these long ass paragraphs in front of innocent bystanders (this is so long. im so sorry)))

ok so reigen is the professor of the galaxy expedition team and u may be wondering how he got that job: lying :)! he claims he knows everything abt pokemon and that he's been studying them his whole life when in reality he's not even totally sure how many pkmn types there are. granted, the rest of the team doesn't either, so his ability to bluff himself out of any given situation is massively helped by their cluelessness

he just wants to sleep in a bed with blankets and eat food to survive and lying into the professor position was the quickest way he saw to get there. he'd been wandering in the wilderness for a while since coming to hisui before that and it kinda sucked. bro just wants a house in this crippling economy

mob n ritsu were originally from another village! they don't meet reigen until mob is 9 (ritsu 8). there's no powers in this au but mob's whole shtick is that he takes the,, extreme pacifist route i guess? he thinks pokemon r to be respected and loved and Not Bothered and he's against the use of pokeballs to store them and commanding them to battle each other, etc. essentially if he were in a modern era he'd think the way present-time people treat pkmn is, for the most part, cruel

anyway their hometown gets attacked by pkmn and the village is destroyed. their parents die protecting them, so 9-year-old mob was left to fend for himself n his little brother alone. they travel together kinda aimlessly for 7ish months until they get remarkably (unknowingly) close to jubilife village and come across that giant fuckin rapidash before the bridge

it's their first alpha pkmn encounter. neither of them have pkmn to defend themselves with (mob's reason: he ain't like that. ritsu's reason: He Is Eight and Scared). mob has always been able to empathize w pkmn a lot and sorta get a read on what they're thinking, so the vibes comin off that rapidash were rancid and he was worried abt it. mob has never been afraid of pkmn, not even the rly big and scary looking ones. so he approaches it with the intention of calming it down, seeing what's hurting it. he makes ritsu stay back in case things go bad

he's kicked in the head. if u forgot how big that rapidash is just google it. the hooves r the size of ur player character's head and ur player character is like 15. mob is 9. the fact that he doesn't die immediately upon impact is a miracle. the fact that he survives longer than 5 seconds after the fact is basically divine intervention

the doodle i made in the top left corner of ritsu screaming is this ^ encounter. he watches it happen, and then watches in horror more as the rapidash panics at ritsu's scream and rolls a flame wheel over his brother's limp form. ritsu manages to dive for him and run, but the kid is thoroughly terrified and traumatized

i'll spare u the horrid bits but long story short ritsu finds a cave to settle in and while he's rly inexperienced with medical treatment he does his best. his best isn't very good in the grand scheme of things but him being 8 is a pretty damn good excuse. he camps out there for Three Whole Days waiting for his brother to wake up or respond to literally anything but it isn't happening and the longer this goes on for the more terrified ritsu gets

mob's taught him how to survive pretty well all things considered, but ritsu is a lot more worried abt mob than taking care of himself and he ends up neglecting his own needs pretty fiercely. he feels too sick w guilt/fear to eat. he tries to stay up as long as he can in case mob stirs. by the end of it he's pretty worse for wear too

reigen finds them while out in the field doing research (wasting time). he sees a little kid half stuck in a bush looking for berries and when reigen tries to get his attention ritsu, who is extremely on edge and sleep deprived and scared, just straight up screams at him. reigen sees his dirty clothes and skinny arms and flushed face (fever. definitely fever) and alarm bells ring in his head to not let the kid go no matter what cuz he Will lose him otherwise

once ritsu gets his bearings and realizes this is a human (first one other than mob he's seen in forever) and not a pokemon coming to kill him he starts crying to him abt his brother and reigen feels his heart drop to his stomach bc if This kid is worried about a brother who is supposedly worse off,,, dear god

ritsu leads reigen to mob. the dressings around his arm where he was burnt are completely incorrect and most definitely horribly infected and ritsu didn't rly do Anything for the head injury other than clean the blood away bc well. again. he's 8. idek if eight year olds know what concussions are

reigen BOOKS it back to jubilife faster than he's ever ran and halfway through he realizes ritsu has passed out in his arms too (kid's probably exhausted beyond belief. reigen has no idea how long they've been like this but he guesses a while) everybody in the village is kinda horrified when the professor comes back with two hurt kids, one of which is on death's door. the medical team there does everything they can

it takes a while for mob to wake up, but thankfully he does in the end. reigen finds out thru ritsu that they've been alone for "a long time" (ritsu doesn't know. doesn't rly remember. reigen asks mob when he wakes up and mob says he stopped counting somewhere after day 140)

even though mob still isn't quite back to his old self and is still generally confused and Slightly Off, the doctors say he'll be okay after a few weeks and reigen has unintentionally gotten very attached to these kids. ritsu had told him their parents died during the attack on their village. they have nowhere else to go, and like hell is Any member of this village gonna be happy with simply throwing them out into the wilderness again. so reigen takes them in

anyway that's how they meet <3 GVEYAI mob is back to his normal self (the occasional Moment of Confusion comes around from the brain injury, but they taper off after a while) and reigen is very much surprised to see that mob, as ritsu has described to him, still very much loves every pkmn he comes across. he gets a bit nervous around rapidashes in particular, but other than that, mob is still just as caring and just as respectful as ritsu described him to be. ritsu is scared of bigger pkmn like any other kid is. mob is an exception, even after that experience.

reigen waits about a year so that they have time to settle and recover (and so that he has time to observe), and then he gives them each a pokemon. this might seem odd, but mob has never expressed any ill will toward Any pkmn, and ritsu still smiles at the smaller ones

he gives them a choice between the pla starters that have been hanging around his office. mob picks cyndaquil and names her cindy. ritsu picks rowlet and doesn't name him at all (this gives reigen pause, but ritsu seems to have a new fire in his eyes, so he brushes the worry away)

when they're of age (mob waits for ritsu to reach 13. they do everything together) they both join the survery corps, and mob ends up becoming reigen's assistant :]! reigen is admittedly a little worried abt this development, about his kids going out into the wild, but they both seem ready for it (ritsu seems ... a little Too ready for it considering his past) so he relents

mob has made his opinions about pkmn clear, especially to reigen, and reigen has ended up adopting some of his ideals since he met him bc they,, well thwy sound reasonable. they sound nice. mob doesn't ever put cindy in a pokeball, and cindy had never once been in a battle other than play fights with rowlet. mob treats cindy like any other normal pet, like a friend. he looks at those boxes of pokeballs in reigen's office with a frown. he finds the idea of fighting pkmn in the wild for sport despicable. he openly scratches out the pokedex tasks like "defeat 10 times" with disdain. reigen starts seeing another world that he never rly considered before, with mob

this is where reigen senses some,,, tension, between the boys. ritsu evolves his rowlet into a dartrix remarkably quickly since joining the survey corps, and not even a few weeks later he's a got decidueye on his side. ritsu catches pokemon left and right and if they're "not strong enough" he keeps them in pokeballs until he remembers they exist again. he works on building a team with no weaknesses, or as few weaknesses as possible. bro invents competitive pkmn

obviously, mob sees this and ,,, doesn't like it. he doesn't like how Distant ritsu is with his pokemon, with creatures that he wholeheartedly believes should be treated as friends or family. he doesn't name any of them, he spends nearly all his earned money from the survey corps on items that boost their strength, but almost no money toward items for comfort, or even treats, or toys. ritsu treats his team like they're tools. the relationship between ritsu and his pkmn is,, strained. mob can sense they aren't nearly as happy as they could be

but mob knows that he can't just,, police ritsu on how he should handle his own pokemon. he may not agree with how ritsu approaches the subject, or with how ritsu's first instinct for anything pkmn is usually "fight it," but mob knows ritsu Does like pkmn. ritsu's never hated pkmn, he's just,,, scared of them, sometimes. he thinks maybe this is his way of making himself feel protected. mob doesn't like the idea of taking that away from him, no matter how much seeing ritsu refrain from giving his team a break grinds on his soul

little does he know, ritsu's strictness with his pkmn isn't born out of a fear for himself at all. he's building a dependable team to protect his brother. that's the whole reason he's doing this, the whole reason he didn't name rowlet when he first got him. ritsu knew that if he were to do this, he couldn't get attached to them, bc losing pokemon in fights is a very real possibility. it's been drilled into each and every one of his pkmn's heads that they r to protect mob at all costs. if there's a repeat of That incident, ritsu doesn't think he can handle it (>:])

WOW THIS IS ALREADY SO LONG i haven't even gotten to the kleavor part yet. fuck. if ur still reading this can i have ur hand in marriage /silly

OKAY SO . The Game's Plot comes in, finally. took long enough. reigen starts getting reports of frenzied nobles and he's most worried abt kleavor bc it's rather close to them, and the village could very well be in danger if kleavor decides to say fuck you in particular. so reigen goes Hey This is an Actual Threat That Needs My Attention I Have to be Competent For a Sec and spends the next few weeks tirelessly searching for an answer for this kleavor. some of the staff have already gotten mauled by it. reigen cannot ignore this and put it on somebody else like he usually does

the whole town is getting antsy, and mob most definitely notices. ritsu's jumpy all the time anymore, like he expects kleavor to rampage through the streets any second now. reigen looks tired and worn down, and he's been coming home later and later. mob watches as reigen makes plans to use force against kleavor with a sour taste in his mouth. he tries to tell reigen that force isn't the answer here. reigen, bless him, doesn't know how to tell a kid that friendship and rainbows isn't always the answer

after another week or so, mob's had enough. they've gotten nowhere closer to calming kleavor and more people have gotten injured, so mob quietly writes a note and leaves it on his bed, makes sure he doesn't wake up ritsu or cindy, and leaves the house before reigen comes home. he sneaks out over the fence so the guards at the gate don't catch him. he sets off to go see kleavor

he fully and truly believes that force is not the answer. he fully and truly believes that if he goes up to kleavor with no pokemon to fight it with, no weapons or spears pointed at it, and just a calm voice and peaceful demeanor, kleavor will see there is no danger. the galaxy team's previous attempts have all centered around violence and scare tactics. nobody has recently come up to its territory without posing a threat. mob genuinely just thinks that kleavor needs calm

reigen finds the note. freaks the fuck out. immediately rounds up every person in the village that's capable of fighting and they march out of the village to save a kid who's in way over his head. reigen makes ritsu Promise him that he will not leave the village. he can see it in ritsu's eyes, the way he wants nothing more than the come with them, but reigen gives the argument that ritsu is their strongest soldier back home and they still need to protect the village from anything else while everybody's gone. it takes all of ritsu's self-control to not go against him (he's fully set on coming with them until reigen Grips him by the arms and says "i can't lose both of you.")

mob's plan does end up working in the end, but not quite perfectly and not at all in a good way. he steps into kleavor's territory and has it calm at first, but smth changes in kleavor's eyes and whatever Force that's corrupting it surges and kleavor snaps.

mob gets Fucked Up by that thing. sliced and thrown and clawed until he can barely stand up to run away, but it's the last blow that matters. kleavor comes down on him with a chop right to his middle and everything stops. there's a sizeable gash that cuts through mob's side horizontally and kleavor's axe is stuck in the flesh there, but once mob isn't moving anymore and nothing is making kleavor afraid, the fog in its brain clears and it sees what it's done

it also sees that mob is still awake, and despite everything kleavor did to him, he's still looking at it like he knows its capacity for gentleness. even through the pain mob looks at kleavor like he Knows this isn't what it's rly like. and as soon as mob sees the light return to kleavor's eyes he smiles, blood gurgling in his throat

kleavor hears shouts from the forest, sees torchlight and panicked yells for mob. it doesn't know what to do, don't like what it sees, what it Did to this poor kid. it winces when it has to slide its axe out from the gash in mob's side—the squelch it makes and the Noise mob lets out is the last thing kleavor needs to book it

u can only imagine how fuckin hysterical reigen feels when he sees mob on the ground like that. they brought half of the medical team just in case and reigen is rly glad they did bc if they didn't there's a good chance mob would've bled out right there within a few minutes.

he's in rly rly bad shape and is barely conscious by the time reigen grabs his face and tells him itll be okay. they bring him back to the village at record pace and every minute they take he looks paler. reigen is so scared the kid's going to die in his arms before they even get there

when they get to the gates someone from the medical team takes him from reigen's arms. reigen hears ritsu scream. the kid's shoving people away who're trying to comfort him and beelining his way to mob, but reigen catches him before he can fully see the damage bc he does Not want that bloody mess to be in ritsu's nightmares for the rest of his life

ritsu fights him and pushes him and shoves him away, screaming that he just wants to see his brother, but reigen holds him back and he ends up pulling ritsu close when the kid loses steam and just starts sobbing into his chest

to ritsu, he's failed again. to reigen, he's failed them both. to mob, despite holding onto the living world by a thread, he succeeded.

anyway that's the story so far VGEAYVUA I HAVEN'T .. FIGURED OUT TERU YET. or dimple. i know the gist of i how i want teru and mob's meeting to go tho. teru is just like ritsu but like . Worse when it comes to pokemon. uses them as tools and doesn't even rly think of them as sentient at all. until he meets mob that is :]

i'm thinkin he's the warden of sneasler! and yaknow what, just for shits n giggles and bc i love ingo too much to get rid of him, what if ingo is teru's unofficial teacher. what if. wouldn't that be fuckin hilarious and completely ruin any sense of consistency here. what if (it's happening)

i'm also pretty set on making dimple one of the wisps from the spiritomb quest that ends up following mob around. that's fitting i think

[oleander-nin]

Idk if I already asked you this but could you do headcannons for how Mikey,Leo,Raph,and Donnie would react to begin told by draxum that they belonged to y/n before he stole and mutated them

(you could do separate or together Idc)

A/N, not important: Sorry it took so long, I've been busy and I'm currently quite sick. Also, just didn't really know how to go about this. Reader is at least 5 years older than the TMNT, or else it wouldn't make sense. So no romance in this one(don't know how I'd stick it in anyway.) I also kinda just, didn't know how to do this one? It was a special ask, I'll give you that anon. Sorry it's such sucky, I struggled. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.

Tw: mentions of the turtles being pets, feelings of unease, emotions, idk what else

Words: 723

Summary: The ROTTMNT turtles find out they once belonged to you.

All:

Completely flabbergasted.

Not expecting this at all.

Confused.

Upset.

All the emotions.

You had told them about the four turtles you lost 13 years ago.

That’s why they all bonded with you, you all thought it was funny they were all the same species.

They saw you as another parental figure at this point. Or at least as an older sibling.

They also all felt very weird about this.

You technically owned them.

That didn’t really sit right with any of them.

Very much unhappy and confused turtles.

Mikey:

Very much upset

He really liked you, and he knew how sad you were when your turtles were stolen because you confided in him about it.

Knowing he was one of those turtles made him feel icky.

Wished Draxum never told him this.

In the back of his mind, he knows it’s not that deep

That everything’s still the same.

But he can’t help but feel sad about it.

Ends up buying you a new turtle to ‘replace’ him and his brothers.(After asking if he could of course. He doesn’t want to just bombard you with a new pet you don’t want or can’t take care of.)

Probably is the one to tell you the news as well, probably when giving you the turtle.

Feels weirded out by the situation, but is glad you’re understanding.

Drifts away from you a bit, not really knowing how to go about being near you for a while.

Donnie:

Despite the initial panic and unease he feels, Donnie’s mostly chill about it.

He knew he came from somewhere before all this, but he just wasn’t expecting to know he was stolen from you.

Never really brings it up to you.

In his mind, it doesn’t matter anymore. He’s no longer a pet, and he is his own person.

Everyone comes from somewhere, he just happens to come from the pet shop down the road you visit frequently.

Oh well, at least he now knows.

Tries to ignore it to the best of his ability, not wanting to acknowledge it much more than he has.

He ends up being a bit more distant for a while, mainly accidentally.

He just doesn’t know how to talk to you for a while knowing what he does.

Gets back to normal a bit more once he learns Mikey spilled the beans.

He just ignores that it happened and brushes it out of his mind to the best of his ability.

He has more important things to worry about, where he came from doesn’t matter.

Raph:

He thinks it’s weird, but is more on the chill side.

He has no idea how to feel about it, so he just…. Doesn’t.

He, like Donnie, ignores it.

Doesn’t bring it up, refuses to comment on it when asked, and changes the subject when prompted.

He doesn't distance himself from you at all unlike Donnie and Mikey.

He still enjoys hanging with you, and wouldn’t lose that for anything.

Especially not over something so stupid.

Probably forgets after a couple weeks honestly.

It just doesn’t matter to him at all.

He’s still the same Raph and he knew he was once a normal turtle, so why would it matter where he came from?

Is admittedly a bit disappointed he wasn’t some cool wild turtle before, but he gets over it quickly.

This is how he ended up, and this is how he’ll stay. 

Leo:

Straight up doesn’t believe Draxum.

One, why would he remember who they were stolen from?

Two, why would Draxum steal from a person instead of a breeder, or a pet shop?

It just didn’t make sense to Leo.

Either way, he didn’t care too much.

Even if they did belong to you at some point, and that was a big if in his mind, he thought it was hilarious.

If he gets to you before Mikey, he’s telling you through laughs and jokes.

Can not and will not take it seriously.

Finds it even more hilarious if it’s somehow proven to be true.

Constantly brings it up when you’re near.

Jokingly asks you to re-adopt them if he and his brothers ever get turned back into normal turtles.

All in all, after the initial shock wore off, he genuinely doesn't care and sees it more as a joke than anything.

[aldbooks]

IDK if you do random prompts but could you do one where Azriel challenges Lucien to a blood duel (Elain doesn't want it/doesn't know about it) and Lucien is like nah, why would I fight a blood duel for someone who doesn't talk to me and peaces out of the NC, etc and then Elain realizes she should've given Lucien a chance and maybe goes after him?

sorry, that was long and a giant mess but I love your one shots and I just had to ask!

Honestly I’d been wanting to write something like this. I have a very rough draft I never published in my cloud somewhere but in that one Lucien’s forced into it and basically everyone and their brother gets involved it’s very messy 😂

Truth be told, I've tried multiple times to write this prompt, and each draft inevitably began to spiral out of control. This is the first somewhat coherent one I've been able to manage

---

His distracted thoughts were the only thing Lucien could blame for not noticing what he was walking into. For not sensing her, for not smelling them together as he rounded the corner in the garden and found Elain and Azriel tucked behind a vine covered wall, hidden from view of the house. There was no pretending he didn't know what was going on with them any longer. It was far too late to turn around and walk in another direction, letting them continue on with their clandestine meetings, thinking he was none the wiser. Not when he was confronted with the scene before him now.

Elain, for her part, blushed crimson and tried to push away but Azriel did not release his hold on her as he turned a cold glare on Lucien for interrupting them. Judging by the redness around her lips and the tousled state of her curls, it didn't take much to determine just how ardent they'd been just a moment before.

The pain of seeing it for himself, rather than simply knowing it was happening, was much sharper than he expected but he kept his face passive as he awaited the inevitable confrontation. Turning away now would make him seem a coward and he refused to be that. 

"My lady," he said, nodding to his mate and then the Shadowsinger. "Azriel."

The male bristled at the use of his name rather than title. A bit juvenile perhaps but was he not allowed to be at least a little bit petty, given the situation?

"Enjoying the fine weather?" he asked, briefly eyeing the sunny skies of early summer that were now leaning towards evening. Elain clung to Azriel now, her face a mask of terror. Wether she expected him to attack her or him, Lucien wasn't sure but he had to swallow down a disgusted scoff at the insinuation that he would resort to violence at all, like some uncivilized brute. That might be how her lover preferred to handle things, but Lucien preferred a more- tactful approach.

"What are you doing here, Vanserra?" Azriel growled, pushing Elain behind him as though he too expected a fight. 

Lucien fought a flinch at the use of his surname as well as the urge to roll his eyes at such dramatics. He was furious, sure; humiliated, most definitely, but he was a courtier. He fought with words, not fists. The fact that even the much lauded Spymaster did not seem to realize this was almost laughable. 

"I was just delivering my latest report to Rhysand and Feyre. They invited me to stay for dinner. I thought to take a stroll through the gardens until then. I had not realized it was occupied," he said dryly as though he were unaffected by finding them here. 

"Yes," Azriel replied cooly. "I'm sure you did expect to find the gardens empty of their usual inhabitant." His tone clearly conveyed his skepticism that Lucien had not come out here specifically seeking his mate who was well known to spend most of her time toiling away in the flower beds. 

He did not point out that the gardens were certainly big enough for them both to avoid each other should they wish. He also did not point out that while he may have been too distracted to not note their location, so too had they. Though, Lucien was a bit surprised his shadows had not alerted him to his approach. He tried not to stare at them, though his mechanical eyes tracked their agitated movements. 

Then again, perhaps they had warned him and he'd simply chosen to do nothing. Perhaps he'd even wanted to get caught. He certainly seem to be all that surprised or embarrassed at having been found out.

Just for that reason, Lucien would not give him the satisfaction of rising to the bait. He smiled blandly. "Given the late hour, I thought it safe to assume everyone indoors. I know ladies prefer to avoid too much sun." At this, he flicked a glance at the freckles scattered along the bridge of Elain's nose that had not been there when he'd last seen her. 

"If you'll excuse me," he said, bowing his head slightly. "Since this particular path seems to be crowded, I'll choose another."

He turned his back on them, knowing it would piss the Shadowsinger off to be dismissed and had barely taken two steps when a low, menacing voice said- "release her."

Against his better judgment, Lucien paused and slowly turned back around, eying the male impassively. "I beg your pardon?"

"Release her," he repeated.

Lucien's eyes narrowed slightly. "You know perfectly well, Spymaster that it is not within my power to do so. If the lady does not wish to be bound to me, then she may reject the bond herself, as I'm sure she has been told by now. And in any event, I have made no claim on her, she is free to decide what she wants for herself."

"She doesn't want you," he growled. Behind him, Elain cowered, curling into herself, her face drained of color. 

"Do you presume to speak for her?" Lucien said cooly, holding the Shadowsinger's gaze in challenge. 

Azriel bristled, his massive wings rustling at his back. "She is-"

"Perfectly capable of speaking her own mind," Lucien countered before the other male could finish what was sure to be a spectacular display of male pride. Elain said nothing but he did notice that she'd backed away from Azriel a step or two which gave him some satisfaction. 

"She doesn't want you," he said again, his eyes growing colder with every word. "You know this, everyone knows this. She has never wanted you and never will want you. And you will never be good enough for her."

It was only years of practice in taking thinly veiled insults to his face that allowed Lucien to let this one slide over him and off his back without the slightest change in expression, but he still felt the words sliding over his skin in an oily drizzle that whispered the truth of them. 

"Then she can tell me so herself." His gaze slid to Elain once more. She had backed even further away from the other male, her eyes wide, but still she said nothing.

"I challenge you." The words were snarled out through bared teeth as the Shadowsinger's body seemed to vibrate with fury. 

Lucien stilled, his gaze flicking back to Azriel as something dark began to unfurl in his chest. Some long buried beast he'd almost forgotten about. "Excuse me?"

In a flash of shining metal, Lucien found himself staring down the blade of the famed Truthteller. Elain gasped loudly but Lucien did not even flinch. "I challenge you to a Blood Duel," Azriel said in a voice like death. "If you will not let her go, I will make you."

Lucien laughed. He could not help it, though the sound held no mirth whatsoever. This only seemed to make the Shadowsinger angrier. From the corner of his eye, he could see Elain glancing between them with a panicked expression. "No," he said simply.

Azriel blinked as though he had not been expecting the answer before thrusting his blade at him again. "You will accept. And you will be defeated."

Lucien laughed again, with a touch more amusement this time. "You really are arrogant, aren't you?" he said, casually brushing the notorious blade aside. "You assume that because I prefer not to fight with weapons that I do not know how to use them. Or perhaps, it is that because I chose to use my magic rarely, you think I have little of it? There is a reason my brothers thought me a threat to them. And you seem to have forgotten who trained me. I may not be an Illyrian warrior but I promise, you would not find that battle so easily won as you think."

"Then you are a coward to not accept."

He barked another laugh. "No. I am a smart male who would rather not waste his time, or deal with the fallout that would surely follow," he said disdainfully.

"I am not a barbarian. I will not hold an unwilling female to an agreement that does not exist. The bond was never accepted, she is well able to reject it and I will not force her decision either way. If she tells me she wishes me to go, then I will. I have no desire to fight to the death for a female who has no interest in me. That would be the height of folly."

Lucien flicked his gaze to Elain once more, finding her gaze locked on Azriel.

---

Elain watched in growing horror as Azriel persisted in his attempt to draw Lucien into a fight. That horror was coined by fear and disgust when Lucien revealed that this Blood Duel Azriel insisted upon was a fight to the death. It was utterly savage and she could only stare at the male she had thought of as so tender and kind, threatening to kill her mate over something she realized he had no control over. 

She could reject it. 

The thought swirled through her mind in a tangle of thoughts. Lucien spoke as if this knowledge should be known to her, but it was not. No one had ever told her it was even an option. She supposed it was because none of those around her could fathom rejecting one's mate. Never mind that her sisters had not exactly had easy starts with their own mates. She was quiet certain that at one point, Nesta would've been just as happy to see Cassian dead. 

Azriel did not seem to give much thought of concern to the notion of rejecting a mate. Odd, considering what she knew of the esteem the fae held for such rare bonds. Neither did Lucien, for that matter, if he was able to speak about it so blithely, as though it were a given that he would simply concede should she choose not to accept him.

And that seemed even odder still. 

From what she had been told, both of her sister's mates had been unrelenting in their pursuits, particularly when her sisters had been at the height of their resistance to the bond. And yet, Lucien had never displayed an ounce of the territorial aggression she had expected. A fact she was only just realizing as she watched him bat away Azriel's attempts to draw him into a fight. In fact, he continuously tried to pull her into the conversation that Azriel did not seem to deem fit for her participation. Never mind that she was the subject.

She could feel Lucien's gaze on her, but she could not peel her horrified gaze from Azriel as she began to see the layers of civility he wore like a mask, peeling away to reveal something truly terrifying. So this was the the Shadowsinger? The cruel Spymaster that everyone seemed to cower in fear of? She stared at him as though seeing him truly for the first time. She wasn't altogether sure she liked what she saw. 

"Accept," Azriel demanded, growing visibly agitated by Lucien's refusal to be the slightest bit intimidated by him. Bold, really, for someone with half of Azriel's years of experience and training. 

Lucien sighed, his lashes fluttering as though he wanted to roll his eyes. "First of all, only an Autumn Court male can issue a challenge, which you decidedly, are not."

"You are Beron's son-" Azriel started to argue. 

"And I have not claimed my father's house in over two hundred years," fire sparked in Lucien's eyes, seeming to give even Azriel pause. "As you're well aware. Not to mention that, personally, I find the entire practice archaic and primitive. "

Azriel did not miss the insult, neither did Elain as she watched the male's wings flare wide, heedless that she was only a few feet away. Luckily she had stepped far enough away to avoid getting hit. Silently, she agreed with Lucien's assesment of the situation. 

"Secondly," he continued. "Seeing as the Night Court long ago banned such duels, how do you imagine your High Lord would feel about your insistence upon, and participation in one?"

Gone was the flippant attitude Lucien had been sporting until this moment. He spoke the words with such coolness, the sharp edge of warning evident as he seemed to happen upon the one argument that finally gave Azriel pause. She could see it in the set in his jaw and the clenching of his fists. Rhysand would not like it. And Azriel hated to disappoint his brother. 

If Lucien was right, and the Night Court had banned duels over disputed females, Rhysand would have to punish Azriel if he persisted in this course. He would not have a choice, not if he wished to retain the integrity of his position. She could only imagine what kind of punishment such a transgression would demand. 

"Free her."

Elain tried not to sigh aloud at the relief that flooded her when he seemed to finally give up his quest. Still, she was growing tired of being spoken of as though she were not standing right here, incapable of speaking for herself.... just as Lucien had said. 

"I was not aware she was trapped- at least, not by me," Lucien replied drily, looking in her direction. "I have no wish for bloodshed, and I cannot imagine that you do either." He was still looking at her as he said this. Azriel did not so much as glance sideways at her.

"You don't even want her," he snarled.

Lucien shrugged. "Then you have nothing to worry about. If you're what she wants, then bless you both. I will not stand in her way. Nor will I be drawn into any foolish battles that will only cause more harm." He turned to Elain once more. "The choice is, and always has been, yours, my lady."

With that, he bowed to her, ignoring Azriel entirely as he turned back for the main house.

Stomach roiling, and mind fairly spinning as it scrabbled to process the events of the last few minutes, Elain watched him go, feeling a tug in her chest towards him that, for once, she was not entirely sure she wished to ignore.

Beside her, Azriel's shadows swirled around him as she stormed off, apparently having forgotten she was there and what they'd been doing not five minutes ago, and took to the skies. 

Elain felt power surge up within her, and the now familiar sensation of a vision taking over her senses. She surrendered to it. Before her, was a crossroads with paths leading in several directions. She turned slowly, examining each until she felt a pull towards one in particular and knew where it would lead.

For the first time since she'd been turned fae, and felt the bond snap into place, Elain realized that the choice she thought had been taken from her that day, had been there all along. Waiting.

[silveeee]

idia who's sarcastic like 99% of the time but as soon as the sarcasm comes from another person he's clueless(projection goes brrr)💀

the projection is so real

anyway ! thank you for the request :D sorry it took me so long to write, i got busy with school but i also got thrown into writer's block </3

i freestyled this a little cause idk how u envisioned me writing this ^^" hope u like it tho !!!!

btw i refuse to make Ortho call Idia "brother" in dialogue where he's talking to him bc no mf does that. anywhere. ever. in the English language. so i'm sticking with the JP appellations !

- - -

no content warnings needed :)

- - -

It was downright unfair. Maybe even preposterous! Idia had been pacing around his room, mumbling and talking to himself – and the sheep plushies he and Ortho owned – about what had happened only ten minutes prior to him getting back to his room.

Idia had basically been forced to go into the real world to go get some equipment from Sam's shop, where he had encountered Vil. Vil wasn't the worst person to come across, but when Vil had tried to start up a conversation with him, which eventually lead to Idia asking him what he was there for, Idia got back a reply that made sense.

But it only made sense in the moment because as soon as he started walking back to his room he realized that Vil sounded a little.. off? He didn't even remember what Vil had said back to him, which made Idia a little nervous. What if he had sounded dumb? It couldn't have been that much of a fatal reply, right?

And so there he ended up, in his room, talking to the sheep plushies on his bed.

"It just can not have been so bad. There is no way. You guys would definitely agree with me if you had come with me and witnessed the whole situation, for sure!"

The sheep plushies didn't respond, obviously, but right after Idia finished his sentences the door to his room opened, Ortho coming in through the door a second later.

"Are you getting answers out of them, Nii-san?"

"Yeah, they're spilling the world's very own secrets to me right now."

Ortho wasn't one to use sarcasm much himself, since he thought it was confusing, but Idia used it almost daily. It got more frequent when Idia was thinking about a situation where he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ortho then quickly managed to put two and two together, moving over to pat Idia on the back. "Nii-san, even if you completely missed the sarcasm, they most likely have already forgotten about the interaction."

"...thanks, Ortho."

Maybe he should just bring Ortho with him next time.

ty for reading !!! it was short but i also didn't really. have an exact idea for the prompt ? as i said, i freestyled it and i'm not unhappy with the result !!

[emeraldbabygirl]

I feel like looking up stuff on Salish and flathead was originally supposed to make me happy that I was learning more about my tribe and my ancestors but now it just causes me to spiral cause I feel like I’m lying when I say I’m native or mixed I guess like that’s what I put on all my medical records is white/Native American like they don’t have spots for Irish or welsh or German like my brother says we had in us. We’re more native than those put he says I’m obsessed with native Americans all of a sudden. It all started when the coworkers at my last job started calling me “whitey or white girl” in Spanish and I pissed me off cause they knew my name and they weren’t using it in fact they refused so I wanted to feel like I belonged and wanted to learn more about my native side but that’s like a needle in a haystack cause my family married a bunch of white people. I am not saying f white people are bad, no one is bad no matter what ethnicity you are and I always feel shitty cause I’m part white or mostly white like blonde hair or dark blonde and blue eyes and so many times I wish I looked more native, I wish my skin was darker like my mum or thick like my brother but I just look so white and no one believes me if I say I’m part native or have it in me cause everyone is like “you don’t look it” “you’re faking it” or they just laugh and I’m sorry I don’t speak the language I don’t have an ties to the tribe and Idk how to even look and if I tried I feel like I’d get turned away cause my skin is too white or my eyes aren’t brown and I see these videos online of people that get told the same thing but the difference is they have proof of their friends and family and or them with the tribe and at powwows and participating in the dancing and the way they dress and tribal tattoos and things and I don’t have any of that. I want to look more native so I can feel like I belong and I’ve been feeling like this for like 4 years and it just makes me feel worse it makes me feel like I'm trying to be someone I'm not. i don't even speak the language I only know english and I hate it but the language is hard to pronounce and I give up easily nowadays.

The only thing I know about connections to a tribe is either my mum's grandpa or great grandpa or great something was born and raised on a rez and there's a picture supposedly of him in front of a teepee and his hair is like all poofy like and afro but that doesnt make sense unless he was mixed native and black and then where'd the black side go? and my mum said that there's talk in the family that if anyone had a black kid or mixed with black it wouldn't be weird because it's happened or it jumps a generation or something but then I recently herd that either my ancestors either were slaves or owned slaves on a plantation and that bothers me and so I just feel so confused whenever I learn something new and ancestry is shit cause they have nothing on our family and it's a whole mess like my mum didnt even know her real father for so long and I'm confused like who am I other than just a white girl I want to be something else. I used to see people on the internet talk shit about white people just cause or there was someone on here even that they were mixed white and black but they clearly hated being white and it made me feel bad and I am fully aware that black people face a lot of racism and discrimination and I've been told that there's no such thing as reverse racism or you can't be discriminated against for being white but racism is racism and discrimination is discrimination no matter the person. I was told once when trying to get a job that "my color people were here" as soon as we came in we heard someone say that to the hiring person and we left, they wouldn't hire us cause we weren't mexican and that's what the old hr said basically at my last job when my sister and I tried to get on full time and I'm not saying this for sympathy or to say that what my family has been through is any more or less significant? than what some people face everyday but I'm just venting and trying to figure out who tf i am cause I just don't feel like I matter and can't be proud of my native side because my mum is only 1/16 like I'm sorry it's not her fault but her and my brother have the traits and I'm just frustrated and wish I was born different

Like this is such a constant feeling and I'm tired of it, I'm tired or feeling like I'm ugly or I'm not pretty or I don't know how to do makeup and can't present myself the way I want and can't do this and can't have that and can't say this and can't try to understand my ancestry so I don't feel like some lost loser and maybe it's selfish or cringe or whatever but is it bad that I want to find a native man so I can put that back in the family? I just don’t feel accepted by anyone cause I’m “default” or whatever the term is people use. I want to be labeled a certain way but at the same time I don’t want people putting me in boxes just because of the way I look like I’m sorry I don’t have any connections or pictures or anything with my tribe are you gonna yell at me for claiming Flathead Salish even tho I don’t look it? It’s not helping, feeling like this just makes me feel worse like “white people have no culture” and shit that other people say just to make you feel bad and what’s wrong with being mixed everyone is.

Deleting this later don’t wanna cause problems. I’m just venting and angry and sad

[schlurp-schlurp]

realised a trans guy i know hates trans women & children irl and i gotta say, jesus christ, i ????? idk what i even want to say, i just want to scream at the void and check i'm not going insane

dude came out like 8/9 months ago and i've ended up being somewhat of a mentor for him regarding wtf UK laws are and answering questions about binding, packing, etc. had no clue he was so vile / slurping up misinfo on the side.

anyway i was at the pub when we found out a mutual acquaintance is transphobic (he thought the other trans man was a GNC girl and that i was a cis guy, topic never came up before) so i was started to gently guide this guy towards less extremist views and just kind of like?? explain that trans people are people?? i was exuding a pretty chill aura and tried to basically hold his metaphorical hand and be patient.

anyway, i was fully expecting the conversation to be uncomfortable, but jesus christ it got so bad so fast because the trans man i know started expressing HIS opinions on trans people and hoooo boy. hoo boy. ohooooo boy.

if he ever has a trans child he won't let them go on puberty blockers, particularly if their future hypothetical trans child is A Female because "it's important they go through puberty" and went on a rant about bones????

he completely refused to listen to me when i explained that PB's as a kid require biyearly bloods and x rays and that there's 101 ways side effects can be prevented *if there are any at all*

he went off about how you can't know you're trans until you're over 18, but specified that "females, sorry, yknow, like biological females, yknow, people like us" (brother in christ, there is no "us" rn) actually can know they're trans earlier because their biology means their brains develop faster so they can have kids early, while "male" brains don't develop properly until they're 25 or older because ?? well, there was no weird bs explanation for that, he just decided that trans women specifically have to suffer for an extra 7 years if they need to medically transition or access any kind of therapy.

i bought up that this is literally the same talking point that transphobes are using to restrict trans healthcare in the UK, referencing The Cass Review ("what's that?" - HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS???) and how there are suggestions to disrupt the trans healthcare of adults between 18 - 25.

i also mentioned that, yknow, i knew i was trans at 13 and came out a month later at 14. hells, i would've known i was trans earlier if i knew what the word trans was.

he claimed that he *always* knows if a woman is trans based on her looks ????? fucking what??? bro. buddy. what the hell.

i rebutted this by trying to explain that for all he knows, all our friends could be trans. he won't 'clock' trans people that pass, so of course he's only going to notice the ones that don't pass.

it's dumb as balls - i know so many stealth/somewhat stealth trans men and women. hell, just this week i found out one of my mates is also a trans man LMAO, i've known him for a year and had no fucking idea. he also had no idea that i was trans until this week. monumental spider man moment

claimed that trans women are inherently dangerous bc cis male rapists can pretend they're trans women and advocated the idea of making trans people use the wrong bathrooms until they'd had bottom surgery.

seemed to be completely confused by the concept that if trans women are made to use the men's and trans men are made to use the women's, all those hypothetical cis male rapists can pretend to be trans men to get into women's spaces. plus they could just walk in, or claim they're a janitor.

he also had no fucking clue this would be enforced when i questioned wtf the plan would be. he seemed to believe that "you just know" when someone's had bottom surgery. how????? what????? dude, if you want to root around people's pants to check their genitals, you do you, but i'm quite happy just using the cubicles regardless.

he bought up transtrenders. i had flashbacks to 2016 tumblr ngl. hnnnngh why??? why??? ??? gods.

ironically, if he was on tumblr back in the horror days, he absolutely would've been called a transtrender and gotten death threats - like me! thank u random tumblr and instagram users for telling me to kill myself as a 14 year old wearing a flowercrown who was already being bullied irl and just wanted to experiment with his fashion style.

but yh, he wears fishnets and skirts and eyeliner - he absolutely rocks them, but like, bro how are you gonna complain about trans people not conforming to strict gender norms and how every trans man that's pregnant/wears skirts/touches a colour is a dirty faker bc they didn't immediately kill themself while you're literally rocking a GNC look?? bro. BRO.

on the topic of transtrenders - he mentioned a cis woman we met at a pride event, a lady with PCOS & facial hair - he claimed that she "wasn't even trying" to pass as a woman, and that he thinks she's faking being trans.

SHE'S NOT EVEN TRANS!!!!!!!!!!! bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gah. hells, even if she was it's still fucking stupid to decide someone's gender based on whether they've got hair coming out their face ffs.

said u shouldnt medically transition until you've had trauma therapy, and explained that that's why he's having trauma therapy, bc he wants to make sure he's "all good" before the NHS "rushes him" into treatment. buddy you've got another 4 years MINIMUM before you even get seen. i'm glad he's seeking therapy for his issues, but his experience isn't a bloody monolith for all trans people.

TLDR - i can't. i can't even exist rn. this happened last week but it's just been killing me.

[exmaneojunseo]

      it’s hard to 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 your past               when it’s 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 all over your 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲.   

                      𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐆 ❛ 𝑮𝑰𝑵 ❜ 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐎                           —  a character study.

𝐈. 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 & 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒.

his birth name is 𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐎, but he preferred to go by 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐒 𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐆 while living in australia. he almost exclusively goes by junseo these days ( or 𝐆𝐈𝐍 among veritas and other gang members, of which the meaning his dorky self does not want to explain to anyone ), though he still responds to lucas and people who have known him for quite some time might prefer to call him that. his former pack affectionately referred to him as 𝐏𝐔𝐏 because he was the youngest—except for his brother, who called him 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐄 instead. both nicknames are off limits to anyone outside of those he considers family. if you really must call him by a nickname, he doesn’t mind being called 𝐉𝐔𝐍, but he responds to 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐄 and most other not so nice names as well, as he isn’t too fazed by being insulted. do not call him 𝐌𝐔𝐓𝐓, however, unless you want to get punched in the face.

𝐈𝐈. 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄.

junseo has 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 eyes and naturally 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 hair, though his current colour is a tad bit lighter. he doesn’t dye his hair super often, and when he does, he tends to stick to more natural colours. he has 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐁𝐄 piercings ( one in each ear ), along with a 𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐓 piercing, the latter being a very recent addition. he has a 𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐎 of a tiger that covers half of his back ( vertically ) and a part of his right arm and is thinking about getting more done as he uses them to cover up his scars, as far as that’s possible. 

𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒.

his body is littered with so many 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐒, that he has lost count over the years. the most noticeable ones are those on his hands and above his eyebrow, all of which he acquired from fighting. surprisingly, his face is fairly unscathed, aside from the aforementioned scar. his largest scar is located on his back, accompanied by a couple of others, which he gained when someone cowardly attacked him while his back was turned to them. it’s not super uncommon to find him with 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐒 and 𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒 and the occasional 𝐒𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐏, and he doesn’t remember a time he wasn’t sporting some sort of injury. 

𝐈𝐕. 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 & 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘.

having left his pack means that he currently has 𝐍𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 in seoul, and because they tend to travel around a lot, he isn’t aware of their current whereabouts. friends are 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄 as well, at least, if you ask junseo. while he doesn’t like to admit it, he has come to care about veritas and considers them his substitute pack—meaning they’re not as good as the real deal, but they will do for now. that said, he would absolutely put his life on the line for them, especially the fox spirits, as they’re closest in kin and he feels protective of them. other than that, he likes to surround himself with people who are 𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐕𝐄 and 𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 because they’re easy to manipulate, and he generally doesn’t keep them around for longer than he needs them.

𝐕. 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏.

the most important person in his life is and always will be his 𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. they were attached to the hip before he left the pack and he carries around an old picture of the two of them when they were younger. he misses him a lot and hopes to be reunited with him someday—and the rest of the pack too, if possible.

𝐕𝐈. 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 & 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓.

junseo was born in 𝐆𝐘𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐉𝐔, but considers 𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀 his true home, despite having spent an equal amount of time there and in south korea. the pack moved around a lot and rarely spent more than ten years in the same place, which wasn’t something he was very fond of at a younger age because it made maintaining friendships incredibly difficult. now that he’s older, he misses the freedom of not being tied to one place and would leave seoul if there wasn’t any reason for him to stay. the pack itself was 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌 and 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃, and they always managed to make him feel at home, no matter where they ended up, which made moving around a little bit easier for him.

𝐕𝐈𝐈. 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑.

aside from being extremely ██████████████, junseo fears 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇—more specifically, he fears not being remembered by anyone after he passes because no one considers him important enough to be remembered. this isn’t something he openly shares with just anyone, and his brother is currently the only person who knows about it.

𝐕𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄.

junseo has been in love 𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄. the relationship—if you can even call it that—didn’t end well, and he takes all of the blame for it because they were nothing but patient and understanding with him—until one day they got fed up with his antics and decided to skip town without telling him. looking back on it now, he realizes his behaviour was what pushed them away and he deeply regrets it, but instead of improving himself, he’s only gotten worse as time went on because he believes he’ll never fall in love again. however, deep down he craves affection and attention, and he frequently hooks up with strangers just to satisfy that need. it never lasts for long because one-night stands are meaningless and he desperately wants a deeper connection with someone, but that is something he isn’t ready to admit to yet.

𝐈𝐗. 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑.

his refrigerator is 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐘 at all times because despite that he’s a decent cook, he doesn’t like to cook for himself.

𝐗. 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐓.

he wears 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 most of the time, claiming it perfectly fits his aesthetic and that when he spills oil on his outfit while at work, it’s less visible than it would be on lighter clothes. he can often be seen wearing a 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐓 and 𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃 𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐒, and it isn’t uncommon to find him wearing his 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐒 either. if you look closely, you’ll find they’re no ordinary gloves, but weighted-knuckle gloves—his preferred choice of weapon. when he’s not wearing them, they’re in his pockets or bag, but never too far from his reach, just in case he needs them.

𝐗𝐈. 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘.

there are many, but his strongest memories all involve his 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. they have made too many together for him to just pick one, but he can count the ones he’s most fond of on one hand.

[mayullla]

Hello:) I'm the one who asked if you watch spy x family I'm actually having a brainrot for the step brothers au where reader punch a kid in the school like Anya did to Damian but idk if you're already on that part of the manga since you said you read a bit of it

Hii! Sorry I don't remember I forgot to mention it has been like 2 or 3 years since I last read the manga T-T So I actually don't remember much but i still hope you like this!

Okay, this wasn't actually supposed to happen. Not necessarily, Zhongli thought to himself as he looked at the message that he got from your teacher reading it repeatedly.

You punched your classmate.

He dropped his yellow mug to the floor. Coffee leaking from the side of his mouth as if it choose to replace the supposed blood.

Did Zhongli make a mistake while taking care of you? He thought he did a good job if not decent, anything he technically lacked his other younger brother filled in the gaps. You are a sweet child, a lovely young sister of his that is always cheerfully laughing and telling him your stories.

He didn't think you could hurt a fly, sure you could be curious about the butterflies in the garden at the back of the residence and try to catch them but to actually hurt them? Zhongli thought that his many stories and teachings would help you not to become violent.

So what in teyvat happened that you choose to willing punch one of your classmates in the face?

Zhongli sighed as he went to your kindergarten, when he finally arrived at the teacher's office and saw you at the chair looking down unable to look at him, he can't help but worry a little.

Apparently, talking to the teacher, you punched one of the kids who were talking behind your back and when Zhongli tried to ask for more details, the teacher was unable to answer as the kids were all quiet choosing not to say anything.

When he looked at you, you would shake your head refusing to explain yourself. Zhongli sighed and when he asked where the kid you punch was the boy already left with his parents thankfully the parents were understanding, saying 'that kids will be kids and that it happens.'

When Zhongli took you back to his car he looked at you and asked again if you were alright. He didn't start the car but instead gave his full attention to you as you continued to look away from him yet he could see resentment in your eyes.

The eldest brother was patient with you, gold eyes listening as you struggled to say the words without crying yet could only sound like you were stuttering.

You told him that they were talking behind your back and that you didn't have a family and that the so call brothers you told them about and they saw were all fake and that you and they aren't a real family

You were in tears by the end of your explanation fulling expecting to still be blamed for punching someone yet all...

What you got was an uncomfortable hug as you and Zhongli were still in the car, the break made him unable to properly hug you. Yet it still made you cry all the more.

Zhongli was touched by what you have done Sure, he would like you to take a different approach to handle things, but he can't help but feel a little happy that you cared about your step brothers and think of them as a family. How could he discipline you like that?

Maybe later, you and he would have a talk where he would teach the best course of action depending on the situation.

It would help a lot not only for you but also for his poor heart.

But for now why don't you and Zhongli head to a restaurant and eat, he had heard that you liked ramen last time from Kazuha when he took you out for a little brother and sister time.

[real-sun-wukong-fan01]

So first of all how old where everyone before adoption?

And second why when i read that in your swap au trip and wukong relationshipand the fact that he is not found of wukong being mk successor for some reason i thaut of the line " I didnt need you then asshole i dont now" frome helluveboss?

Like maybe trip desides that if he spends more time with wukong he could get him away from what ever mind set mk was putting him in which at first no one exept bajie really paid attention but it started to become alittle more wierd with time. Like when wukong wanted to go visit or train with mk he would bring up going to a restaurant or park as a family an wujing would be really happy so wukong wouldn't and couldn't say no and at the end wukong anaps and says "what are you trying to do" and trip is like " wdym cant i just want us to be more close?" And they start argueing cuz wukong is convinced something is wrong and it leads to that line

Idk how old wukong was when he was adopted but i feel like it could be 16 or something

Sorry for the long ask i just wanted to share this and askevery ones age

Alright!

So i never thought of the ages because I'm bad with math, so i didn't really spent time thinking and calculating the past ages and the present ones.

because i wanna keep wukong rather young in the present rather than a 30 years old y'know?

But yeah, i do think that the ages were around:

Wukong and Ao lie were 16.

bajie was 10

And wujing was around 6/7

So all the attention got to the youngers.

which wasn't fair because all of them needed a father figure, and considering how little Tripitaka was in their life, all the attention was on the youngest, the oldests didn't get their fathers love.

But while Ao lie didn't care too much, wukong was deeply hurt by it. Because he genuinely thinks of Tripitaka as a father.

So Tripitaka and Wukong relationship was always distant, intentional or not.

MK mindset that he's teaching sun wukong is way more healthy than Tripitaka, he's teaching sun wukong how to defend himself and the people he loves (training/fighting demons), how to talk to people since MK is way more social rather than wise, and just general good stuff.

And while they see each other as brothers, wukong genuinely looks up to MK, like when the younger brother looks up to the oldest. The same thing.

but Tripitaka isn't worried about that, he's more focused on the fighting stuff.

He refuses to accept that MK is helping wukong with his problems, well, he's not refusing them he's more ignoring that fact and the good thing that MK is doing to his son, and he's focusing on the flaws.

Buddhism dosen't allows violence (it says murder but still.) and with how strict Tripitaka was with those rules in Buddhism, learning that your son is some immortal successor and will have to fight demons,,,iss ehh.

He did not let that slide.

which lead to many other problems.

Often fighting about it, often telling wukong to drop the training and come back doing whatever he was doing before, y'know. That stuff.

"I'm doing it for your own good!"

So he doesn't get hurt. So he doesn't fall of the path of enlightenment.

there were times where Tripitaka offered wukong to spend some time together, usually in summer because no one was busy, but wukong never fully enjoyed them. Because it felt like Tripitaka was forced, even if he wasn't, it just felt like Tripitaka wasn't there by choice.

he never experienced the love of a father and when he gets those rare time of fatherly love, he gets weirded out by it.

It's unfamiliar.

But now this little times Tripitaka spends with wukong? They became times where Tripitaka tries to convice wukong to drop his training.

So the feeling of Tripitaka being forced there became stronger, to the point wukong avoided whenever Tripitaka offered those times by lying.

"i have to work"

"gotta get food"

"wujing needs me"

Anything.

Really, the only two who have a healthy relationship is wujing and wukong.

The others are really distant even if they don't realize.

MK is hurt by knowing how bad this situation is.

Because they are his friends reincarnation. And they weren't like this. Why are they so cruel?

[camilo-and-carlos-headcanons]

The Twins When They're Abuela Dissaproves!.

.

Camilo

Headcanons

•As much as he hates it, he keeps you a secret from the rest of his family

•At least, he tries. Dolores blurts it out one day and Alma got pissed

•She demanded you break up, and when he refused to do so, she grounded him

•Pepa was super mad at her mom and they ended up arguing

•When you went over for dinner, Alma left halfway through because her old a$s was so mad

•After Casita gets rebuilt she learns to be more accepting and eventually approves you

Scenerio

3rd Person POV

"Cami please maybe she won't be as mad as you think" Y/N begs. They want Camilo to introduce them to his family. They had been dating for around 5 months now and somehow, nobody in his family knew.

"I'm so sorry mi vida.. I told you already my abuela isn't going to approve. I feel horrible." Camilo said, gently putting an arm around your shoulders.

He brought you into a hug that ended up being cut short due to his younger brother came around the corner.

He gently, yet quickly, shoved you away.

"Antonio!" You both exclaimed.

The small boy just giggled. "So this your partner that Dolores was talking about!"

Camilo immediately looked like he was going to be sick.

"Are you ok Cami? It'll be ok.." You put an arm around him as he pulled you into a big hug.

He pulled away and, ignoring your further questions, walked with Antonio back to Casita.

*timeskip?? because idk where to go with this anymore*

*back at casita

"But abuela-"

"No 'buts' Camilo. You are to leave them. I have a beautiful woman already looking forward to meeting you."

"YOU WHAT?!" Pepa stormed in with a cloud above her head, clearly having been told what was happening. "Mama you will not force my son to meet anyone. Camilo don't listen to her don't worry it'll be ok."

"Camilo, go to your room and don't come out until I say you can." His abuela said, glaring at him.

Camilo ignored all further comments and just ran up to his bedroom.

*another timeskip??*

A knock was heard on Camilo's door.

"Cami? Its me..??" You said, gently.

He quickly opened the door and pulled you in, shutting it just as quickly.

"WHAT are you doing here?!" He asked in a panic.

"What do you mean? I came to make sure you were ok." You studied his face for a minute. "And clearly you're not because you've been crying."

Camilo lightly chuckled as he pulled you into a hug, burying his face in the crook of your neck. You said nothing, but gently put your arms around him.

After a few moments, there was a quick knock before the door swung open.

"Camilo I-.. Oh hello Y/N! It's so good to see you again!" Pepa came in practically unannounced. A raincloud above her head slowly disappearing a bit.

"Hello Pepa!" You waved as Camilo backed away.

"Hi mami.." Camilo said, trying to avoid her gaze.

"It's time for dinner. Y/N, you can stay if you like!" Pepa said, smiling.

**another small timeskip???**

*Your POV

Oh boy. Maybe coming to dinner wasn't such a good idea. Abuela was staring daggers at me the entire time so far. I guess Camilo was right, she doesn't approve. Maybe she'll come around eventually but right now it doesn't seem that way.

It was as if Camilo could sense that I was in distress, he gently squeezed my hand in his as if to say "It'll be ok"

Suddenly, his Abuela stood up, said "Excuse me" while still glaring at me, before leaving the dining room.

I looked around the table as everyone was now quiet. Some stares were on me and some were just looking around, seeming just as confused as me.

"I'm so sorry Y/N. I knew she would react badly." Camilo apologized sincerely, staring at his mostly empty plate.

"Nono it's my fault, really. I insisted to meet, and although this isn't how I imagined it would go, at least we got to meet?" I said, slightly joking.

Camilo slowly dipped his head down then up, as if processing what I had just said. Then, he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

He stood up and excused us before pulling me out into the hallway.

"I don't care what Abuela says. I love you so I will continue to be your parter/boyfriend." He says confidently.

That made me smile. Yep. He was definitely getting back to his old self, except this time, he wasn't going to hide the fact that we are dating.

.

.

Carlos

•He doesn't give a fuck💀

•He doesn't understand why because you're the best thing that's ever happened to him

•Its not like you were a bad influence anyways, if anything HE was the bad influence on YOU

•He keeps dating you and invites you over once a week to annoy her

•If she walks out because she's so mad he reassures you that you're fine, she's just being a bitch

•"It's because I, the "bad influence," got a partner before her sweet little precious helpful Camilo."

•If she ever insults you he goes OFF

•"You're just being petty because I found a partner before Camilo. EVERYONE except you enjoys Y/N and loves having them around and helping. They are the only one who ever stuck with me because of the shit you did.. Don't try to act innocent and shocked now, you should've been expecting this. After all, it is me , right?"

•Then he'll take you up to his room like "Y/N don't let her get to you she's just a bitch..i love you so don't worry, she won't break us up."

•Then he rests his forehead on yours, intertwines your fingers and *kiss

[ruinsofxerxes]

What bothers me about Mei is that she never even tried to get to know Ed as a person. She goes from objectifying him to villanizing without 0 input from Ed himself. Like when Mei sees him as the Fullmetal Alchemist for the first time Ed just had a really rough few days: the fight with Scar, Winry's breakdown, the fight with Gluttony, Winry's departure, Lan Fan's injury, another fight with Gluttony and Envy, getting stuck in Gluttony's stomach and starving, fight again with Envy, the revelation about Xerxes and the Ishvalan war, finding a solution to a supposedly unsolvable problem, human transmutation of himself using human souls, being deconstructed and getting knowledge crammed into his brain again, seeing Truth and Al's body, realizing his dad's twin is the evil behind all the horror, his evil uncle turning off their alchemy, seeing Greed taking over Ling. That is a huge amount of physical and emotional stress with little or no rest in between. He's hurt and tired, he's being pinned by giant Envy and in comes this girl he's only seen once before defending Scar and starts screaming at him about breaking her heart and physically attacking him. I know it was supposed to be funny and we should think that her selfish and toxic behavior is cute, but I could never see it that way. She decides in this moment without actually talking to him that Ed is worthless, because his appearance is dirty after going through all this suffering and he's not as tall as she assumed, so she treats him as trash from then on and refuses to take her filter off for even a minute. This is a pretty big character flaw of hers for me.

I just hope Alphonse will put her straight at some point on this, since he knows and loves his brother. I'm missing the resolution / exploration of this from fanfictions and I'd like to see Mei admitting to this, maybe saying sorry to Ed and actually getting to know him as a person. If you or anyone knows a fic about this topic, I'd be very thankful for the suggestion. I hope you have a nice day!

I don’t think she really villainizes him or thinks he’s worthless. Yeah, her reaction to him being “ugly” was definitely over the top and it definitely crushed her fantasies about him, but as the series goes on, she DOES see Ed as a person, not just her ruined fantasy, and they become allies. Ed has definitely moved past it, he barely knew what was going on to begin with, I don’t think he really cared what some random 12 year old girl thought about him because we never see him bring it up, he kinda had bigger things to worry about.

They weren’t exactly friends, all things considered, she was sided with Scar and Ed and Al were still against him. I’m the beginning, yeah, she does call Ed “It” when talking to Al at Dr. Knox’s which is savage and sees him as an evil little thing but it was only a day or two after she first truly met Ed, she was probably still scorned and it wasn’t enough time for her to mature. At the same time, Ed and Al were still referring to her as “that girl” so I think they just....didn’t even think about her much until they needed her alkahestry

Weeks if not months pass before they meet again. When they do, all Mei does is tell Ed he “isn’t her type” which isn’t a bad thing for her to do?? She doesn’t call him ugly or worthless or anything.

And Ed doesnt seem to care either what she thinks of him, he just wants her knowledge. There doesnt seem to be any animosity from him about what happened (and he finally started calling her by her name lol)

After this, they don’t interact again until the promised day. Months have passed, Mei has grown and matured. We see her begin to form a real friendship with Al and not just have a crush on him. She definitely grows as a person, and she never treats Ed poorly or says anything bad about him again, she hasn’t really since the few days after their interaction in father’s lair.

Let’s not forget SHE saved Ed’s life with Alphonse. And then vehemently apologized to Ed afterward for helping Al. Ed comforts her by saying it wasn’t her fault. If she thought Ed was worthless, she wouldn’t have sacrificed Al, who she loved so much, to save Ed’s life.

Again, no animosity or villainizing between either of them. Even from Ed after what she helped al do.

She even cheered him on when he fought father!!!

And was sad to leave them, saying they’d meet again someday (this might have been directed toward Al, but she didn’t specifically say Alphonse, so think it was toward them both, but more for Al haha)

So idk where you’re getting that she’s toxic and treats Ed like he’s worthless. They might not be friends but by the end they have some sort of respect and allyship. They definitely traded some slight insults during the beginning of the series, but it was mutual, and seems to be only surface level, and they can work together and respect one another when it really matters. Additionally, if she really DID treat Ed badly, I don’t think Al would put up with that, be friends with her, and visit her when he goes to Xing.

Yeah, she definitely could have and should have apologized for freaking out on him when she found out who he was. But I don’t see any evidence that Ed even had that much thought about it after it happened. I think by the end they’ve both grown past that. Mei saw him as evil little caricatures like once or twice offhandedly, but the majority of the time she doesn’t treat him poorly?? She just treats Al with much more affection and respect. And I think as the series goes on, she matures and treats Ed with respect as well.

Idk any fics about that, sorry!! But I hope you have a nice day as well!!!! Also, unrelated, but while I was looking at manga pages, I found the cutest panel of Xiao Mei clinging to Dr. Marcoh

Hii<3 asking about how Dola feels abt Belphegor >_> and also how they would feel abt...Sally..!

Belphie!!! Cracks knuckles bc I feel like I'm gonna talk about like... Canon divergence dhjkgfd (sorry for rubber ducking on your ask+eventually going on and on on Sally's sdhfjksd working mostly off of my imagination since you don't talk about them enough!! >.<)

So like... Of course this is like, the roughest start of them all, even more so because Dola doesn't go up to see him on her second day in the Devildom like MC does in canon? As curious as she is, hearing a disembodied voice call for help in the a house full of demons is idiot behavior she refuses to do. So Lilith has to do a little interfering so that Belphie's attempts at trying to get to her work (in her canon they don't meet in the attic until much later; they first meet in her dreams where he terrorizes her for a bit until she gives in and talks in exchange for some peace).

They sort of... Surprisingly get along while they're dream chatting? Begrudgingly since he's just always there pestering her about progress on making the pacts while also sort of looking for someone to talk to in a way, so he's the most consistent constant company she has. And if she wants a good night of sleep she has to like, not upset him, so they're both pretty annoyed at each other until something distracts them from it. Their talks kind of err on the side of her updating him about stuff that happened, how his brothers are, which eventually starts getting the chance of him ranting to her and her helping him work through his feelings.

And things go well enough! It leads to her eventually getting up the attic while Lucifer's away (I'll bring you some of that sushi you like if you'll leave me alone tomorrow night) and he goes into a crisis of whether he actually *gags* likes a human.

Post-Incident uh, things are pretty rough. He's mainly saved from her never forgiving him by her coming to the conclusion that Diavolo and Barbatos knew everything was going to happen and played a part in planning it + him offering a pact in exchange for a shot at forgiveness (bc her avoiding him was making shit kinda rough for him in the HoL). Then from there it slowly goes back to them being pretty chill with each other? He does put effort into making things better between them, which she sees and accepts as points in his favor.

(idk why but I'm inclined to say he had like, a pretty longtime crush on her...? That only Beel knew about.)

Tbh they don't spend that much time together unless it's in a group with the other brothers. Dola's very anti-sloth as a person plus combined with how Belphie spends a lot of time asleep there's not a lot of times they can hang out one-on-one. Unless he hangs out in the same room as her while she's working on something, or is the one to join her whenever she needs to go out to do some nature studies for art thingz. He's probably had her teach him how to make good art and it goes... not that well shjkfhgjkfg

They're like... Idk how to word it. It's chill, simple company that's pretty laid back, but sometimes they get deep if they're alone somewhere private...? Sort of the same as how they were while he was still in the attic, but now they both update each other on what they've been doing when they're not hanging out together with the company of the others. They talk shit about the royals often and get into the occasional argument about whether Dola overworks herself or not (spoiler, she kinda does.)

He also knows his baby brother card doesn't work on her but tries anyway, then she rubs it in that it doesn't work.

AAAAAAAA okay that's a lot. time for Sally!! Which is probably shorter since I don't know her too well

Okay so for Sally I'm gonna set up a scene lmao. Let's say they meet in Goetia for the first time when Asmo takes Dola there to get her hair rescued after messily chopping something like 12 inches off mid-breakdown (canon). She knows she looks like a mess and sticks out among everyone there, probably.

When it's her turn to get up there and get her hair done, she's probably been watching Sally work for a while since I imagine they're pretty standout among the Goetia staff as well. Very good fashion, mentally taking down notes. Probably unknowingly helps set Dola up into a future goth of some form (or at least wears predominantly black and yes Sally is canon in Dola's canon now oh yes it's happening)

The death aura v death aura probably cancel out into Dola thinking Sally's really chill? Easy to talk to, can trust them with her hair. Sally's totally not the vibe she was expecting when Asmo set up the appointment. Would Sally initiate small talk? :o

Whether or not they do, Dola would come out of it pleased and contemplating having her hair bleached and colored. From then on she becomes a regular client whenever she has to get her hair done while in the Devildom (and later on just in general once she knows how to teleport. Sally gets to do whatever they want with immortal Dola's hair once it starts going out pure white every few months.)

Also I have no idea what etiquette is but I like thinking that they start hanging out outside of the salon because Dola ends up being Sally's last client of the day and it's too early to head home or they conversation's really nice so they go and grab some sort of drink of choice somewhere... Or like just walk around aimlessly when the streets are quiet while they have a chat >w<

Which is where I think Dola would start like, talking more and bring up more stuff that she has in common with Sally? I can see Dola enjoying having someone other than Satan and Lucifer to discuss art with since I imagine Sally's tastes and takes to be different from theirs, and that since I think Sally actually makes art it adds a whole new layer to their conversations, y'know? Like it's always different when the person gets it from a maker/creator standpoint.

Oooh plus Dola updated Sally on all the human world stuff, art and fashion and all? Feel like she'd enjoy coaxing whatever excitement she can get out of Sally

Oml imagine Sally being the one to start Dola off on getting together a new wardrobe during her first in the Devildom once she's finally had enough of her hoodies and jeans?? Beating Asmo to the punch? This is becoming like... Headcanons about those two more than Dola's thoughts but still sdhfk I feel like the fact that Dola would let them take her shopping says a lot >w<

You know what? Dola needs friends outside of the brothers and Solomon ahjsk this is fun

Send me a character and I'll tell you how my one OC feels about them (or if you somehow remember the names of my other rarely mentioned OCs, you can ask about them too lmao
