eustass kid/monkey d luffy/roronoa zoro/trafalgar d water law/usopp/vinsmoke sanji  x gn!reader | fluff | ~2k words

warnings: some suggestive/18+ themes but nothing explicit

a/n: idk i just really wanted to write so THIS was born !!! how some of the one piece boys realize they have feelings for ya !!  might do this for other fandoms too…actually yeah i will LOL probably if i don’t forget

NOTE: i end them after their confession on PURPOSE so you can choose your own adventure 😆 also there’s more dialogue for luffy’s + usopp’s so they’re a bit longer !!

18+ MDNI | under the cut for length

eustass kid is angry. he's angry that he developed a crush on you. it's so stupid, he thinks. so outta character.

everyone on the victoria punk knows it, including you. and much to kid’s dismay, so does killer. killer talks to him about it everyday, trying to coax a confession out of him in the most gentle yet firm way he can. he wants his captain to be happy, and he knows that you can make him happy, because you already do without knowing it.

kid is completely docile in your presence, and protective. he’s more quiet, because he wants to hear what you have to say. he’s around more, because he wants to keep an eye on you. and maybe because he likes being in your presence.

kid tells (threatens) the rest of his crew that, even though they’re like brothers to him, they’ll be ripped to shreds if any of them so much as glance at you the wrong way.

luckily for you and unluckily for him, you’d heard his very public threat to the kid pirates, save for you. 

you ask kid what the hell all that was about and he simply shrugs, rolling his eyes and trying but failing to keep his cool. you scoff and chuckle at his indignance. you continue to press him till he finally gets annoyed and locks eyes with you, his pupils dilated and his lips spread out into a crazy grin.

“jus’ claiming what’s mine.”

monkey d luffy is seeking out the smartest person he knows, and once he sees her, he’s barreling toward her at lightning speed. hands appear, arising from the wood of the sunny’s deck and forming a net right in front of robin, effectively catching luffy and recoiling him flat onto his butt.

“robin! what was that for?” luffy whines, adjusting his straw hat and tilting it back so that he can look at robin.

“i’d prefer to not be crashed into, captain.” robin shuts her book and gives luffy a gentle, almost maternal smile. “now, what has you so excited?”

luffy is thoughtful as he opts to lay back down on the deck, tilting his straw hat over his face to shield his eyes from the sun. he’s not excited, kinda confused, actually. 

he’s good with his feelings, because he knows his feelings. he's familiar with them. but these feelings—the ones he's been feeling for the past couple of weeks or so—are new. he doesn’t know them, but he wants to learn about them. so here he is, ready to learn with the smartest person he knows.

“well…i wouldn’t call it excited, ya know?” luffy stretches his arms overhead before folding them behind his head. robin chuckles quietly, already aware of luffy’s feelings before he'd even realized them himself.

“what would you call it then?” robin asks patiently.

“like…i dunno! it’s different! it’s different with ‘em…” luffy trails off, sinking back into his thoughts.

“different with who?”

“y/n!” luffy chirps, feeling himself smile at the mention of your name. “i’m really happy they’ve joined the crew!”

“happy like…you’re happy that i joined the crew?” 

“nuh uh, like…i always wanna be near ‘em. i like when they laugh, when they’re happy. their smile’s real nice, too.” luffy pauses. “it’s a lot of fun to be alone with ‘em! makes me feel good…”

robin takes her time explaining what these feelings mean, that that bubbly, queasy feeling in his stomach was not, in fact, indigestion. once robin’s words seep into luffy’s thick, rubber skull, he jumps up off the deck and wraps robin in a tight hug, grinning the whole time and whisper yelling i gotta go tell ‘em!

luffy finds you instantly, almost like his body contains a homing device that always leads to you. you notice way too late that you are in the direct path of the tornado that is luffy, and he tackles you, causing you to fall back. luffy is quick to catch you, stretching an arm around your waist and bringing you to his chest, looking at your face with such intensity you can’t keep your face from heating up.

you’re breathless. due to the adrenaline from almost cracking your skull against the wood of the ship, and from the i’ve got feelings for ya! robin says they're love feelings! do you feel the same? that rushed out of luffy’s mouth.

roronoa zoro is confused. honestly, more confused than he’s ever been in his life. then he’s annoyed. why did he have to develop feelings for a crewmate, let alone you? it would just get in the way of everything. he wants to focus on his dream, on luffy’s dream, and sometimes even on sanji’s dream.

he doesn’t consider himself a particularly selfish person, but he wanted to focus on himself first. 

but then he sees you smile. he hears you laugh. he watches you work and hone your craft, a look of ecstatic determination on your face and the tip of your tongue peeking out between your pursed lips as you focus. suddenly, he realizes it’s really not about him anymore. it’s about you.

he starts to avoid you like the plague—he figures that if he can’t see you, you can’t see him. but he’s oh so wrong. 

when you decide you've had enough of this, you stop zoro, your hand gripping his shoulder and pulling as hard as you can. zoro raises an eyebrow at you and turns around, crossing his arms and waiting for you to explain yourself.

“you’ve been avoiding me.” you state, leaving no room for disagreement or excuses.

“says who?” zoro is very good at playing dumb.

“says me. and luffy.” you huff a bit as you remember your encounter with your captain. how his lips had twisted to the side and how his eyes had shot up to the sky when you’d asked what zoro’s problem was.

“luffy doesn’t know—”

“know why you’ve been avoiding me?” you step closer to zoro, your eyes locked on his and staring into his soul, searching for answers. “i’m sure we’d both love to know.”

zoro scoffs and rolls his eyes, taking a step back from you and turning his face to the sea. the cool ocean breeze feels nice against his burning face. he grimaces as he turns back to you, figuring he might as well get this over with.

“ilikeyou.” zoro mumbles, the words rushing out of his mouth and stopping quickly as they had started.

you shake your head and lean closer to zoro, turning your head to the side so his lips are inches away from your cheek. 

“can you repeat that, please, roronoa?”

“i like you.” zoro says the three, short, quipped words. he’s frowning and his arms are crossed and pulled tightly against his chest, in hopes to dampen the hammering of his heart.

trafalgar d water law is no stranger to stuffing his feelings deep inside of his chest and leaving them there to rot. so he’s wondering why in the fresh hell these annoying feelings for you keep resurfacing. they crawl up his esophagus and reflux into his mouth, leaving a bitter taste behind and making him scowl every time he feels them. 

and to you, it seems as though every time the two of you lock cross paths, he narrows his eyes at you and stalks away. he rarely talks to you anymore, although the conversations you'd shared before were usually very short, yet somehow still meaningful.

you decide to confront him about it, byway of bepo, who happened to know exactly why law was seemingly scarce around you. 

“c-captain? our captain?” bepo stutters, bringing his paw up to his mouth and feigning surprise. “wow! i have no clue why he’d do something like that!”

you frown at bepo. it’s painfully obvious he knows everything about the answer to your question. “spill it, bepo.”

bepo starts to make gestures with his hands and little struggle noises with his mouth. he has no clue how to get out of this one. so he does, indeed, spill it. 

a few minutes later, after bepo was done with his rambling and law’s confession, you approach law with a smug smile on your face.

it doesn’t take a genius to be able to tell why you’re smirking like that, and law immediately pinches the bridge of his nose and tilts his head down.

“that damn bear…”

usopp is sweaty. he’s sweaty, he’s wringing his hands, twirling his hair around his fingers, readjusting his goggles on top of his head. he can’t sit still. he’s been thinking about how on earth to deal with his feelings: does he just shove 'em deep down inside or does he shout 'em from the crow’s nest? he hasn’t had romantic feelings for anyone since he left kaya, and he simply cannot deal. 

“usopp…” nami says softly, touching usopp on the shoulder. he jumps, then flinches at his overreaction to his best friend’s simple and gentle gesture. “can you just tell them, please?”

“n-no! why should i?” usopp frowns at nami and furrows his eyebrows, knowing full well that it’d be best for his health and the crew’s sanity to just come out and tell you.

“if you don’t…” nami grins at him, slowly and mischievously, “i’ll tell them myself.”

usopp immediately springs up from his chosen sulking location and mutters an okay, okay! behind him as he leaves nami. he’s back to sweating, wringing his hands, playing with his hair, and fidgeting with his goggles.

you notice usopp looking particularly dreadful and wait for him to get closer to your position on the deck. you reach out and catch his hand, giving it a light tug so that he’s moving closer to you. he seems so deep in thought that he doesn’t even notice.

“usopp?” you tug on his hand twice, trying to get his attention. usopp meets your gaze and stares at you blankly before shaking his head and becoming aware of the situation. he tries to withdraw his hand from your grip but you’re holding on tightly, and he realizes he’s trapped.

“y/n! fancy seeing you here!” usopp laughs loudly, trying to mask the way that he’s absolutely crumbling and melting.

“what’s on your mind, usopp?”

“you.” usopp covers his mouth with his free hand immediately after the words come out of his mouth. what was he thinking, being so forward? he quickly looks away from you, directing his eyes to the clouds above. “i mean, nami was talking about you earlier. that’s why i’m thinking about you. no other reason!”

a small smile spreads across your lips. “oh, yeah. she told me something super interesting about you earlier today…” you say, drawing out the last few syllables and relishing in the way usopp looks at you in utter horror.

“nami told you that i like you?” he breathes.

“no, but you just did.”

vinsmoke sanji is aware that he actually likes you. that you're not just another pretty face he admires. he’s always known you were gorgeous, the apple of his eye, the object of his affection. you never noticed that it different, though. thinking back on it, you’re glad that you didn’t notice, because you might’ve thought it meant something bad. quite the contrary, in fact.

sanji knows he loves you when he feels calm in your presence. when he’s not acting like a fan boy and when he spends hours talking with you while he cooks or does the dishes or plans the crew's next meal. you’re always around, and yet, he’s never nervous. 

when he really realizes it, though, it’s when he catches a glimpse of nami’s naked silhouette through the crack in the bathroom door and he doesn’t even flinch. not a tingle, not a single palpitation. it’s not you, and his heart knows it, so he’s calm. this is when he knows he has to confess.

“y/n…darling…” sanji says, grasping your hands in his own and looking you in the eyes. “i have to tell you something—something i’ve never told anyone before.”

you look at him, an eyebrow raised in skeptical curiosity. sanji looks worried, and he almost never looks worried. your mind is going a mile a minute, your brain flipping through pages and pages of things he could possibly say to you within the next minute. because of this, you miss the way sanji squeezes your hands, and the way he sucks in a deep breath.

“i’m in love with you.”

f1newzzz formula one driver, max verstappen and singer/songwriter y/n y/l/n called it quits on their engagement, source close to the pair claimed. "they just wanted different things, their goals weren't aligning," the source explained, "marriage had seemed like the picture perfect ending at that time, when max had proposed, but in the long run, they both would've been very unhappy." though the exact reason for their split isn't very clear, many speculate that it was actually verstappen who ended their 11 month engagement. for more details, click on the link in our bio.

yourusername you're losing me is finally yours. this is easily the most vulnerable, heartbreaking, raw and personal song that i have ever written and sharing it with you all is like sharing a big piece of myself. you are, at some point in their life, at a place where you're begging someone to love you the way you love them and i think that's a saddest thing someone can do, i've been there. this song is a messy compilation of my feelings, my thoughts and the enigma in my mind, i hope you like it. and finally, to that one person, thank you for being my forever. it was real.

Can you do a Paul x reader who's a professional boxer/fighter (think rhea ripley If you know who that is.

I just think it would be an interesting dynamic and idk how paul would feel having an imprint stronger than him

Originally, I wasn't going to do this one because not even a wrestler is stronger than a shifter or vampire. It doesn't make sense to me. I don't mean that in a rude way!!!!! But I did have an idear.

You finished making the pack glasses of tea and went outside handing them out individually. Paul stood up from cutting wooden boards and smiled at you. "Thank you, beautiful." He smiles. "The new gym is coming together!" Sam chuckles while sipping his tea. "I never knew moving to Forks to highten my boxing career would lead to a wolf imprinting on me and the pack building a gym to my new home." You wrap an arm around Paul's neck. It's been simply a week since he imprinted and told you everything. You guys haven't kissed or taken any step further in your relationship just yet.

He bites his lip and looks down at your face, wrapping an arm around your waist. "Thank you for everything." You whisper. You made sure to fill that sentence with genuine emotion and love. Paul could feel it from you and couldn't help but straighten his face as he got lost in every detail of your beauty.

"Paul!" Sam jumps you guys out of your trance. Paul lets you go and walks over to Sam to see what he needs. Embry walks up to you and pats your shoulder with his dirty hand. "Ya know, I wonder if you could beat a shifter." He teases. You push his hand off of you and roll your eyes. "Dawg, you know damn well I can't." He puts his finger on his chin, doing a thinking face. He turns to Paul, who is staring at Embry, he seems in protective and jealous mode. "Don't worry, Paul. Bro and wolf code. I'm just wondering if she could take you on." Embry laughs. "Stop it. We are not wrestling a human." Sam sighs. Paul smirks at you, which makes you blush.

They finished up for the day, cleaning up and leaving around the evening. You've thanked every one of them as they left.

Paul gave you a small hug as he went to leave. You are tired of being so distant and want to be a baddie right now.

"Hey. You're not going anywhere." You look into his eyes. Your hands slowly went up his arms and to his shoulders. His face reddened, and his breathing became rigid. His eyes darkened, and you knew what that meant. But, that's not for tonight.

He turned to face the group of boys waiting for him in the back of the truck that Sam is driving. Paul waved them off. They all whistled and cheered him on. "Get some!"

You and Paul stood there staring at each other. You wanted to kiss him. His lips are too far away. But your heart is racing too fast. He's making you nervous. All of that confidence is running away the more you bask into his body.

"Uh, let's go inside. Maybe we could talk and hang out." You turn and walk to your front door, mentally slapping yourself. "Yes, yes. That's a good plan." Paul awkwardly coughs behind you.

You lead him into your living room, and he observes all of the decorations. "I like your space." He smiles, his eyes wandering. "Thank you...," You hesitate, "my hottie." You finish. He looks at you and smirks. "Damn, what did I do different today. I'm getting special treatment." He stepped closer to you. "I'm just tired of not being claimed by you." You admitted. "Oh, no, no, no." He chuckles and pulls you into him by pressing his hand on your lower back. "I've claimed you when I first saw you. You are mine." His words make you melt. Oh, god. He can feel you heating up and getting flustered. "I'll stop." He smiles, grabbing your face and kissing the top of your head. He walks away and sees your boxing gloves on your coffee table.

"Jackpot!" He walks up to them. You thought about actually wrestling him and seeing if what you have can do any damage to a shifter. "Wanna go?" You ask.

You guys moved the tables and the couches to make more room in the living room. You guys stand across each other. "Baby girl, I can't emphasize enough that I am nearly invincible. I-", you cut him off by running into him, trying to tackle him onto the ground. It felt like you ran into a wall. He didn't stumble or anything. Instead, he gently grabbed your arms and pulled you back, holding you in place while you struggled. "God damn it!" You laugh. "Maybe you're good at blocking or dodging?" He questions. You get yourself ready. He tries to grab onto you, but you twist your body and go around him. You were quick enough. He turns and lowers his body, going for your legs. You jump backward, turning behind him again, jumping on his back. He made a face. "I'm impressed. But I know you can't do this." He pulled you off of his back. He playfully tackled you onto the floor. He was gentle, and he made sure he had his hand on the back of your head for when you hit the floor. You laughed and tried to pry him off.

You stopped once your arms got tired from the weight of him. You guys stared at each other. He's hovering over you and smiling. You are in awe of his looks. "I have very little self-control. I'm trying so hard, y/n. You drive me crazy." He shakes his head.

You can't take it anymore. You wrap your legs around his waist and pull him down, gently pressing your lips on his. It felt like you were floating. The ocean waves stopped. The sky is purple. It feels like god is above you.

His lips move with yours, and you can't help but crave more. You push your hips into his. He grunts and pushes your waist down with one hand, his fingers touching your bare skin as your shirt rose up a bit.

He pulls away, pulling your bottom lip in between his teeth, and he lets go. His eyes bury themselves in yours. "Not like this. I- I want to. I... I have to stop myself. I want to do this right." He scrambles onto his feet. "I am so sorry, Paul. I didn't mean to make you upset." You stand up. He shakes his head. "No, I'm far from that. Look, uh, I'm gonna go for the night. You busy tomorrow?"

"No."

"Okay, we are going out."

im having a tighnari brain rot

this is my first time writing any sort of fic, im sorry that its so short :( if you have any suggestions on how to write better please lmk :D if you read this tysm for your time

taking care of u while ur sick

g//n reader

no warnings i dont think<3

probably a lil ooc idk much abt his lore

tighnari is always prepared for situations like this, he could give you an effective medicine to cure any illness. though when he asks you if you want any, you decline, claiming that he's the only thing you need right now. you don't want him to leave even for a second.

now this was certainly something he wasn't prepared for.

you cling onto his arm as he tries to get up. "i really think you should let me get you something of aid." he spoke, purely logical, he was certainly interested in why you were so keen on him staying, but he didnt want to pry you in your weakend state.

you pushed yourself to sit in an upright position, facing him directly. "dont you get it? i already have something of aid. youre really helping me just by being here, why would you want to argue when im asking you to stay?"

for that, tighnari didnt know exactly what to say. he never imagined you thought so highly of him, hed never known anyone who preferred his company over medicinal treatment. "i didnt think.."

you pulled him closer, hugging him tightly, resting your head on his shoulder.

"i dont have the energy to talk much right now, just stay here, please? i wanna rest with you by my side."

tighnari felt as though this whole time he failed to care for you, so now he knew what to do. he pushed you back until you were lying down again, keeping himself wrapped in your warm embrace. he didnt say anything more as your eyes gently shut, he held you tightly, rubbing your shoulder with his loose hand.

as you fell asleep, his mind began working once more. he was still a bit confused about how he could put you at ease so quickly, but he didnt think on it too hard. he assumed he would want to get up after lying motionless for a while, but he found himself enjoying the peacefulness. he began to grow tired as well, he could definitely get used to this.

These are some of the things my best friend (@officiallydoubtful) said while reading The Lost Hero' for the first time with little to no context.

Part One

*Meeting Leo for the first time* Yeah he's an arsonist.

Jason shouldn't have a last name.

Was what do you mean was?

"'Gleeson was a saytr,' Annabeth said"

Is he dead or is he no longer a saytr?

Jason's Roman

Me: What gave you that idea?

Idk

Chiron what do mean? Why should he be dead?

*Despair* What are Snauseages? Is it a typo??!?!! It's capitalized!! No!!!!

"If he's only a head, where does the food go when he eats?"

Jason's asking the real questions here!

Sacrifice chickens to them!

*Scolding* Stop breaking the fourth wall

Good on you Jason, you're your own person.

WHAT? WHO DID YOU KILL? RACHEL!

"Phone calls from supernatural convicts demanding you bust them out of jail"

*Shrugs* Everyday occurrences

*Presumably talking to the characters, voice strangely motherly* The last chapter isn't here yet, idk what chapter this is but it's definitely not the last one. *Taps book lovingly*

"*Annabeth insults Hera*"

*Snorts* Annabeth….

*Meeting Clovis*

"He looked like a baby cow"

Aww that's adorable!!!

You almost dissolved!?!?

"He held a spear with toasted marshmallows"

*Distressed* Why are they toasted??? He just walked up to the fire!!

Order in the court.

Okay so we know where Nico is somewhat. We think he's looking for Percy but we don't know where he is, we just know what he might be doing.

Seven…?

What? Jason what? What? Jason what? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? Okay that's Latin… okay ummhhmmm, okay he's, yeah. couldn't let Rachel speak for herself huh?

Catholicism gets brought up a lot in this book.

Chiron goes: It's their canon event, I cannot intervene.

*Attitude* Oh were you calling roll?

"The great stirring"

Stir? Like soup?

Cookie dough?

Captain Sunshine!

*Exasperated* JASON!

*Looks at me* he's not boring he's just confusing!

I wonder why you think he looks like a Roman statue, I wonder why.

Electric.

You're just gonna shoot lightning out of it?

Oh no, you're gonna shoot lightning to it.

Opposite way.

Yup I was right. I was right about his dad.

JuPitEr

Oh there is another prophecy down there.

He needs his own prophecy.

Swooned? Oh like sway, I get it.

Well that's ominous. but what else is a prophecy supposed to be!!!

*Drew calls Piper ugly*

*Gasp* That was mean!

You know what I think is real ugly? You're personality. *Snap snap snap*

Piper are you….? Hmmm *Deep thoughts*

*Strains* What is that word????

Beware the Earth? What? Hold on.

*Concerned* What are you going to build, Leo???

Leo, I have a slight feeling I know what your coping mechanism is.

Dumpster girl!!! Don't just say that to her!!!

Of course she gets claimed right then-! *Yells at themself* STOP READING AHEAD.

Of course he's thinking about everything in his childhood, why wouldn't he be?

Pillows?

*Intrigued* A boat made of fire.

*Sharp Inhale* Why were you sleeping in the fire place? Why did she put you in the fire place????

*Gasp Laugh* She let him play with knives!

Oh that's sad.

We need to stop putting demigod heroes when they're children next to snakes!

*Mother voice* You really like that boat. That's what you're gonna build eh?

*Gasp* *Stern Voice* Give him back the boat picture. I don't care if it's not time for his quest yet you can give him back his drawing! It's not like he's gonna ride that into the sunset!

*About to go to war for Leo* Stop exploiting the kid!

*Happily* Morse code

*Closes book*

*Sets book down*

*Shrieks in agony*

His mother…..

Don't you ever say your dad went for milk ever again!

He still dreamed of the flying boat

Oh no.

*Sad* Oh it's gonna happen.

No! No no no no no no no no no no don't do that!

*groan*

*Quiet pleading* No no no no no no no no

Oh, who is she?

EARTH?

oh crap, who are you?

Don't kill his mom.

Like I know you already did it but please don't.

Leo do not blame yourself for that.

Leo Leo Leo, listen to me buddy, stop.

Noooo!

*Gasp*

I wanna give him a hug…..

Okay so his mom's death was worse than I thought.

But I figured he was gonna blame himself for it.

*GASP* A DRAGON

Ah yes

*Smiles* Okay Leo, okay.

This was the twilight zone.

No it's not, it's just the woods.

Don't feel guilty for using your firrrrrreeeee.

"Could metal dragons smell?"

Can they???

What the hell are you talking about, boy?

Aww, he got jalapeno juice in his eye!

Ugh….. okay…. Skipping over that….

Okay I've definitely read ahead, don't do that….

Aww, the dragon doesn't have wings…

Haha, talking to a dragon like a dog

*Amused* Leo just got flipped off in dryad

Are your wings just somewhere else???!??!?

It's not going to move out of your way if you keep pointing at it.

Uh What?

1864!!??!!?? Whaaaat???

"Jason dreamed of wolves."

Huh? He what?

Me: Oh yeah, have fun with that.

What??? What's gonna happen??????

Why do you know this place?

*Upset* Don't tell me you're a furry.

Is this a fanfiction????

*Crying* Wolves don't feel sympathy…

The mother wolf!

*Crying* In the wolf pack, weakness was not an option

Okay???

What is Hera doing here?

Do the wolves not like her?

Hmmm

*Wolves don't have much of a sense of humor*

I do, this is very funny.

Wolves don't have Alpha wolves!

*Tsk Tsk* Rick, you shoulda researched more.

*Looking at the Chapter Numbers*

Why does he think we know Roman numerals? I mean I do, this is fourteen. But still.

Why doesn't it have a bathroom?

Oh no

Oooh no

*Sigh*

Yup, Thalia.

Ah grief.

I'm starting to get really worried where Percy is.

Annabeth, for once I think you don't know something

I'm glad she can take the wolves seriously, cause I can't!

[beautifulpersonpeach]

im so confused about that taekook pic. is jimin trolling? it's like he's toying with us? pls plss plss don't forget this ask bpp. pls answer my asks. i don't get why everything feels fake about jikook, tkk, jimin. is he even happy? it's like hybe is pulling the strings and trying to confuse jimin stans to frustrate us.

*

Ask 2:

At this point I just feel like we're getting played with lol. By who and for what? I don't know. But I've felt this way ever since we got photos/video that jimin did in fact get a cake for his solo and I'm sure big hit saw what the fandom was saying about him not getting one and they still waited to announce that he did.

BTS just isn't fun anymore for me rn. There's just this tension surrounding everything. And not just with shipping. It's fandom wide blatant favoritism. Shifting confusing narratives from the guys themselves (Jungkook claiming he's not trying to shy away from the maknae image when that's all he's been saying for months now???). Tae doing whatever it is that he's doing (bless his heart chile). Namjoon seems to be a mess rn, I wanna give him a hug, he speaks like life is kicking his ass. And our jiminie, I can't get a read on but he seems happy. And the other 3 being in the army so they're not causing trouble lol.

These taekook pics from jimin, hmmm idk, maybe it's his way of telling people he doesn't care about the backlash, and tae bringing jungkook up constantly, and we should back off.

It's all a mess. I never thought I'd long for the day we'd get a real break lol. I WANT to miss them.

I don't hate them. This is just exhausting. It's like them and the company are trying to be strategic with everything and it feels a bit disingenuous? Idk if that's the word. Maybe disconnected is more the word. And I know they've always been strategic in the things they do, so idk why this feels different to me.

Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble in your inbox lol

*

Ask 3:

Something feels wrong about suchwita. It feels forced. Am I the only one who feels Hybe is doing damage control with jikook to contain the fallout from Golden? BPP I'd like to hear what you think about vminkook's date, suchwita revealing the travel variety in context of all the controversies that happened lately. Does Jimin just not care about taekooker hate? He might be kind but he's still human.

*

Ask 4:

I give up on Jimin. Tired of stanning a grown man letting himself get played for a fool. Hybe, you won. Gloat away BPP. You and the rest of the OT7 cows win.

*

Ask 5:

BPP your asks about that RM - FACE credits controversy from Pjms reminded me of one debate I saw btw flat earthers and scientists. It's the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. The part that made me think of you is how flatearthers called the scientists uneducated, said they did their own calculations and made their own observations to arrive at fringe theories that disputed the wider consensus. I found it so strange how both scientists and flat earthers could observe the same thing but reach widely different conclusions. I know you've been going over and over with solos for some months so I hope this can make you laugh a bit BPP.

Hi Anon(s),

Lol, Anons in asks 1 through 4, why are you letting your minds torment you over things that should be obvious? Anon in ask 5, you sent me that ask last week, but it feels apt to post it now given the sort of asks I've gotten in the last few hours.

How many times can we go over the sort of conspiratorial thinking that plagues people who eventually become akgaes, thought patterns that have been shown several times this year to be completely misguided? If the only conclusion you can reach after everything we've seen in the last 10 months, after seeing Jikook, Taekook, Yoonmin, Vmin, and Yoonkook's conversations recently, is that 'someone' must be trying to pull a fast one on you, then maybe you should take a step back.

Honestly, in my opinion, you all fit the profile of people who should engage with k-pop very sparingly. Most times, I've observed these sort of views (also in the case of flat-earthers) are caused by gaps in foundational knowledge about the subject coupled with personal implicit biases. I see this happen all the time, and it's unfortunately the sorts of people who think like this who only get further sucked in, to the point they lose any semblance of a reference point. If you're still at the point you're asking these questions, especially Anon in ask 1, 2 and 3, there's still a chance. I'd suggest a clean break, a detox period, and very limited exposure going forward but starting from scratch and actually watching official content from the early years. A lot of people who joined the fandom post-2020 have only seen compilations and selected clips of BTS's formative years, and so they lack the background to better interpret everything that's happening in Chapter 2 - from why HYBE wouldn't respond to akgaes whining about cakes by posting it right away, to how vminkook have behaved throughout Chapter 2.

Listen to how you feel and please step back.

With flat earthers it's funny because in a bid to be skeptical, to 'question everything' so they aren't "played as a fool", they end up becoming just that. For most other people there's no joke, but for them the joke is always on them.

*

Thanks for the video, Anon in ask 5. But rather than make me laugh, it did the opposite. The conclusion of the video is that no flat-earther, not one, changed their minds after debating with the scientists. I had a theory that the people who end up as akgaes were always going to be that regardless of any arguments that run contrary to their beliefs, because at the heart of it, it's not about the arguments but about them. But I hoped I could be wrong. Extrapolating the conclusion of this video to my theory, the suggested implication is bleak as hell.

Anyway, stream Golden and enjoy jikook jikooking. Sounds like we're about to get a full calendar of content.

Hello again,

I enjoy your ramblings. It's like reading myself lol

I didn't sign up for any of this lol I came for the music and now I'm here. It feels pointless.

It does feel like we are getting played. Everything is too planned and rehearsed and readjusted until the story sounds good. That's why few things are genuine.

I agree with you.

Thanks for stopping by.

[awkward-anxiety]

Look at the little cuties, don't you just wanna hug them and never let go?

anyway! as promised to the few people who saw this post I was going to go into detail about this AU.

So! im sure you have spotted theres a size and obvious age difference between the turtles, Raph is 11, Leo and Donnie are 4 and Mikeys 1.5 in this au ( at least in the beginning, they will grow as the story unfolds itself)

So! onto the juicy fun bits, Raph is their parent, he was mutated first in Draxums lab and was the villians servant as he was too small to be a warrior, He was seven when Leo and Donnie were mutated, they just like him were too small to be warriors and had to grow, and since Draxum didnt want to raise two babies he handed them off to Raph and told him to figure it out and don't let them die or there will be consequences to pay, so, Raph took care of the twins. making sure they were fed, bathes and overall taken care of.

Mikey was the last to be mutated, Leo and Donnie were three at the time and Raph had just turned ten and was getting to be big enough to finally be a warrior for Draxum, to fight along side his "Father". Mikey was another failed ooze experiment as again, another infant. Draxum did the same thing he did to Raph as he did with the Twins, handing off the infant to be watched by his oldest.

about a year after Mikeys mutation, Raph is now eleven, the twins are four and Mikeys halfway to two Raph realized he will be fighting along his father soon, so, he takes his kids and he runs. he doesnt know what hes doing or where hes going but he runs away from the lab and way from the man who claims himself to be their father.

for starters, this will be a Fan fiction, not a comic sadly, not good with comics tbh. but the first chapter should be posted by the end of the day tomorrow at the latest as I already have the basic info for each chapter written down, just need to write it. idk how many chapters its gonna be, I wanna aim for 30, the bit you just got was the start and origin of the story, I want to focus and dive more into them growing up with Raph ( and maybe another character) Raising them.

anyway! that was long and winded and all I have to say, if you have any questions Ill make sure that is on so you can ask away.

and my next art project is them aged up by 10 years, so twenty one year old Raph, Fourteen year old Twins and eleven year old Mikey.

[blooming-violets]

hi so I wanna say I love Andrews portrayal of spiderman and Peter parker were both great charming and endearing to me but ot doesn't take away the fact for me that the movies were almost starlight up terrible especially the second one we had glimpses of what the movie could be in some scenes that were so great but other than the wonderful performances bu stone garfield and sally and the actor who played uncle Ben and a few scenes here and there the movies were bad really bad I loved that andrew and his Pete got a redemption arc for nwh I love that it's what sold the movie for me he's a great actor who was robbed of a decent script and too much studio interferences really mangled the end product

But i do feel like people are unnecessarily harsh on the mcu version of spiderman while it makes me now uncomfortable thinking About Tony stark is musk's wet dream but the movies were really great for the audiences they are marketed towards young kids the class struggles are very much present just in a more subtle way and nwh has fixed most of the "problems" that mcu spiderman had they are also in general the best spider man movies out there if you remove the rami trilogy this is just my take but Maybe it's just the fact that I'm much younger and enjoy these movies more idk

I don't want to offend anyone or make their day worse sorry if I did that I do love your work just an interesting topic of debate in my opinion lots of love ❤️

I never said they were great movies just that Andrew was a great Peter Parker haha. Although I still think they're really fun movies as long as you take them as something campy instead of as a work of art. Ignore the major plot holes and shit script and just enjoy the ride of watching a 2012 superhero movie.

Personally, I like to pick out the parts that I loved about it and focus on those rather than the poorly done bits. They literally have some of my favorite Spidey scenes in them. The part when all the construction workers move their cranes together because they see Spider-Man struggling after being shot and he saved Ponyboy's son earlier in the movie and now Ponyboy gets a chance to repay him back so he gets all his buddies together to help and Peter swings from crane to crane to get to where he needs to...a literal perfect Spider-Man moment! It's up there with the scene in Toby's when all the people in the subway lift an unconscious Peter up and carry him back inside, maskless, and tell him that his secret identity is safe with them and then hand him back his mask. It's the scenes when NYC backs Spider-Man as their hero that always get to me. I don't remember if Tom's Peter has anything like that because I've only seen his movies once (and one was on a plane lol) and my memory is poop so I can't speak on that. But I like whenever they add in NYC backing up Peter in his films. It was very Spider-Man esque. He's a man of the people, esp the working class, and the people usually like to repay him for that whenever he can help. Andrew's version did a good job of representing that.

Gwen's death was also good. Andrew acted the hell out of it. I mean...

Besides being visually dark as hell, his perfect hugging of her dead body cradled in his arms! They don't shy away from it and they linger on the quietness and raw emotions of that scene for a minute. It was emotional and powerful and done well.

Then the humor in the movies was wonderful! Andrew nailed the one liners and body movement. To me, he was such a cheeky Spider-Man especially going from Toby who didn't quite have that cocky Spidey charm like Andrew did. If you don't look at the movies as a groundbreaking work of art, I don't think they're as bad as people claim them to be haha. They're not great but they're also not the worst movies I've ever seen. It keeps you entertained and excited and can pack a punch when it wants to.

I do think you nailed it though when you said that it depends on your age. I was in the perfect age group when The Amazing Spider-Man came out. I had grown up watching Toby's movies but I was too young to really see them as anything more in depth than just Spider-Man swinging around. TASM released when I was 19. It was the most perfect age to see it in theaters and fall head over heals in love with Mr. Garfield as he blushes and hides his face in flowers after showing up at Gwen's bedroom window. Or when he shows up in middle of the night covered in blood and gets half naked while she tends to his wounds. CHOCOLATE HOUSE. The raw, horny, sexiness of their chemistry together!! He is by and far the horniest of all the Spidey babies. All of their kissing scenes!! How could I not fall in love that man?? He was on the big screen and I was horny for a boyfriend and he gave me everything I needed for my teenage fantasies. And then you add on the chokehold that Andrew and Emma had over the young world when they dated. 2012 was a crazy time. People genuinely thought the world was ending and Peter Parker was back on the big screen hahaha. What more could ya ask for? ;)

It was like it was made for my generation of nerdy ladies to thirst over. By the time Tom's movies came out, I was already way to old to be invested in a high school kid. I thought he was a good actor and has great chemistry with MJ and Ned but I just don't have that same pure, all in love that I did with Andrew.

I honestly don't even remember Tom's other Spidey movies, I remember a couple of scenes here and there, but NWH was perfect. I don't think I've ever been so equally breathless and excited while watching a movie in my life.

[nervousgardenerkid]

I should be into this guy

a/n: maya has been on my mind ALL DAY and idk if it's cause i love her or if it's cause i want a gf😭 but yeah slay i hope y'all enjoy this and credit to the gif owner! <3

“Have you ever had a crush on a boy?”

Robin choked on the soda she was drinking and coughed violently.

“Jesus Christ Robin!” You exclaimed while rushing to her and patting her back.

It was spring break and your parents went on vacation, but you had work so you decided to stay home. The key word here is had. After arguing with your manager about not getting enough hours you quit days before your parents left, but they didn't need to know that. You decided to stay back in Hawkins while you just hung out with friends, well, Robin.

Robin was panting, trying to catch her breath. She looked over at you with rosy cheeks and wide eyes.

“What? Where- where did that even come from?”

You sat on your bed and shrugged your shoulders.

“I just never heard you talk about liking any guys.”

Robin focuses on the picture you have pinned up of you and her. Robin had to be the person who fell for her best friend, it was already hard being in the closet, but it was even worse because of her crush on you. Steve insists that she can tell you about it but she shuts him down claiming that you'd leave the second you found out she likes girls. All the sleepovers, the times you've changed in front of her, you'd lose your mind if you found out!

“I talk about guys…” she mumbled.

You shake your head. “You talk about Steve, but not any other guys. Unless…”

Robin gagged and you let out a laugh at her reaction.

“No way! Plus he's still hung up on Nancy.”

You smirk at her. “So if he wasn't you'd date him?”

“No! Steve is just a friend. F-r-i-e-n-d. You know what that is right?”

You rolled your eyes and threw a pillow at her.

“I know what a friend is! I have plenty.”

“No, you don't, I'm your only friend.”

You make your way over to her and wrap her in a tight hug.

“That's true, but I wouldn't trade you for the world. You wanna order pizza?”

Why? Why did you have to say things like that to Robin? Her cheeks are flushed and they hurt from how big her smile is. She nods her head, clearing her throat before she pulls away from you.

“Pizza sounds good.”

You smile and make your way toward the phone ordering pizza for you both. Robin watches you with starry eyes as you sit on your nightstand and bring your knee up to your chest while the other is dangling off the nightstand. You're wearing a baggy t-shirt with a pair of house shorts. Robin knows you wouldn't agree with her but you look so beautiful like this. Your hair is in its natural state and your face is bare. Her eyes fall to your legs and she'd kill to have them wrapped around her. Not even in a sexual way, she just wants to have you in her arms and drown in you.

“Robin!”

She snaps out of her daze and looks at you.

“Is pepperoni okay with you?”

She slowly nods her head and smiles at you. “Yeah, sounds good,” she says breathlessly.

You turn your attention back to the phone and hang up with a smile.

“Okay, it'll be here in like thirty minutes or something. You wanna watch a movie?”

Robin nods her head, not trusting her voice. You grab her hand and drag her into the living room, Robin feels a bit embarrassed because she knows her hands are clammy and you either don't mind or you're nice enough to not say anything about it.

“Any preferences?”

Robin shakes her head and sits on the couch leaning against the armrest.

“Ghostbusters it is!”

“No! We saw that two weeks ago!” she said with a pout.

You look over your shoulder and stick your tongue out at her. “And now we're watching it today!”

You pop the tape into the VHS player and sit next to her. You both sit in comfortable silence, Robin stealing a few glances at you before you break the silence.

“Do you ever feel…different?”

“What do you mean?”

You take a shaky breath and play with the hem of your shirt.

“I mean, like…your whole life you're taught things, and you've always been taught how some things are right and some things are wrong.”

Robin nods her head. She places her hands on the cushion of the couch, adjusting herself so she can sit up straight.

“I still don't get what you're saying. Are you talking about math? Cause if you are I promise you I'm a lost cause.”

You laugh and shake your head. You look away from your hands and stare straight at the TV, not paying attention to what scene was playing.

“No, I'm not talking about math.” you stop for a while trying to find the right words to say what you want to say without directly saying it.

“I went on a date a couple of days ago.”

“Oh.”

You nod your head.

Robin clears her throat not daring to take her eyes off the TV.

“Was it nice?”

“It was, but…I didn't know. He was a nice guy. My parents would've liked him.”

“But?”

“I didn't like him.”

Your pinky lays on top of Robin’s and she stops breathing for a second. Her brain short circuits and she doesn't know what to do. You've held her hand before, but this is different.

“I'm supposed to like him,” you whisper. “but I didn't want to be on a date with him, I wanted someone else.”

Robin nods her head. Her hand is shaky but she slowly wraps her pinky around yours, similar to the many pinky promises you've made with each other.

“I know what you mean.”

Your hands are moving like magnets that finally found each other, and before you know it her hand is in yours. Your fingers interlock and you let out a breath that you didn't even realize you were holding in, you look out of your peripheral vision and see Robin biting her bottom lip trying to fight back the smile that's making way to her face.

“Robin?”

For the first time tonight, she meets your eyes.

“Yeah?”

You’re both leaning in, you know what's being said. Both of you saying everything without saying anything at all. You're inches away from each other, robin’s hand is now resting on your cheek and if you leaned in just a little more your lips would be on hers.

You both jump away from each other when you hear three knocks on the door and a muffled I have your pizza. You grab a crumpled 20 from your pocket and make your way to the door with Robin close behind. You hand the delivery guy the money telling him to keep the change. You take the pizza, close the door, and place the pizza on the small table near the door. You turn around and let out a squeal when Robin’s lips are on yours.

Your arms are thrown around her neck while her hands are resting on your waist. You've been kissed before but not like this. Robin is kissing you like there's no tomorrow, every single emotion she's feeling is being put into this kiss. You both pull away with wide eyes and shallow breaths. Robin lets out a giggle that turns into full-on laughter and tears are forming in her eyes. Your laugh soon joins her and you wipe away the tears that are streaming down her face.

“Why are you crying, Buckley?” you ask her while pulling her in for a bone-crushing hug.

Her hold on you never loosens and she's never felt so much joy before. She shakes her head and pulls away, wiping away the stray tears that are on her cheeks.

“You didn't like your date?”

“Not one bit.”

Robin swears her cheeks are going to be sore in the morning from how much she's smiling. Her hands are now on your face and her thumbs are gently rubbing your cheeks.

“Who'd you want to be on a date with?”

This is wrong. Society has told everyone from the beginning that it's not supposed to be like this, but why does it feel so right? If this is wrong, why does Robin’s hand fit in yours so perfectly? Why have you always gotten so nervous when she gives you cute nicknames? If something is wrong why does it feel so right? So natural. Being with Robin was by far the best and easiest thing for you, no one has ever made you feel the way Robin makes you feel.

“You. I wanted it to be you.”

Robin knew that's what you meant earlier, but to hear you say it? It was enough to bring tears to her eyes again, she never thought she could get the girl. It's something she just always accepted with how close-minded everyone is, especially in a small town like Hawkins.

“You mean it?” she whispers.

You nod your head and start to pull her in for another kiss when a knock on the door interrupts you two again. Robin let out a groan and swung the door open.

“You forgot your cheese sticks!” the delivery guy said with a smile.

You push Robin out of the way, thanking the delivery guy and kicking the door shut. Robin looks at you confused as if you just weren't about to kiss her.

“I don't play when it comes to my cheese sticks, Buckley.”

Robin steals one from the box smiling at the whine you let out as she eats it. Robin doesn't care that you pushed her, hell you could kick her out of the way and she wouldn't care. She's sure that she'll come around to love all of your little habits.

[leggerefiore]

I too ponder which of the bros was the original zygote. Which one do you headcanon as the original? I wonder if they think about it themselves…

You know it definitely has crossed their minds, at least once. It was most likely when they were younger and tried to find ways to one up each other. Ingo pulls the "I'm the older brother" card one too many times and Emmet snaps, "Well, I was the original zygote!" Ingo gasps melodramatically because he was most definitely the original one. "No! I'm the oldest; I had to be the original! You're just a copy of me!" He yelled back at his younger brother. This made Emmet start bawling his eyes out because that is not true! He was not a copy of Ingo; he was his own person!

Their parents have to separate them for a while and comfort the crying Emmet. Poor baby felt like he was not his own independent being from Ingo for a few days after, until the older twin apologised for his words. He gave Emmet an soft hug and patted his back, reassuring him that they were twins, not clones. Emmet squeezed him too tight and nodded at his brother. Still, despite all the mess it caused, "Ingo, I'm the original zygote. Mom said so." The older twin gasped in betrayal. (This was untrue, she could not possibly have a clue.)

As adults, they really don't care as they're separate entities who are genetically identical. That's not to say they are apathetic about their twinhood, because they most certainly are not. They love to use the natural synchrony they have with one another and enjoy the special bond it provides them thoroughly. (Emmet knows whatever Ingo is feeling without so much as a word and vice versa.) Emmet still claims to be the original. Ingo tells him to shut up.

idk anon i wanna say it's emmet because funni younger sibling is actually older, but it could just as easily be ingo. though, imagine they find out their actually just semi identical. i'm sure that'd just break them.

(arceus took ingo because he was the filthy clone all along and was just doing some housekeeping.)

Road Trip!

Just for fun! A random prompt that I found on Twitter lmao, and I thought, 'let's try it with the pgr's boys'

And also to distract me from my never-ending works

First, I'm not good at writing and English is not my primary language. And also you may find some character seems ooc, so forgive me! 😖 I just wanna having fun lol

Watanabe

The one who drive no questions

But sometimes he will switch with Chrome to rest a bit

Yells at others to use the seatbelt multiple times

But got ignored all the time

Doesn't really get road rage; at the most he will just clicked his tongue and will pass the cars that are going "too slow" for his liking

Will put his coat on you when you fell asleep

Won't let anyone beside Chrome to switch with him, the reason?

Kamui: the last time he did it, they almost crash the roadblock because he got distracted by a wild deer

Lee: you know it

Camu: *distant yelling and Deja Vu playing in the background*

Banji: he will definitely fall asleep in the middle of his turns

He snores during his rest, but if anyone pointed that out, he will deny it

Until Camu give him the recording

After that Watanabe refuses to sleep even when you begging him to take some rest

Eating mint gum every 10 minutes

"Watanabe, how many gums do you have with you?"

"Enough until this trip is over."

"But our trip is 2 weeks long?"

"Exactly"

Sigh a lot during the journey

He almost regret everything now

Save him please

Chrome

Claiming shotgun (so he can switch with Watanabe easily)

The one in charge with the snacks ,(Yes, I'm looking at you, Camu)

The only level-headed person in the van

In charge with the radio station

Will straight up choosing a classical music station (if there's one, idk)

Slap Kamui's hand when he tried to change the station to a more lively one "Kamui stop-"

A softie for you

If you ask for more snacks, he will reluctantly give you more

Will pointed some wild animals he spots and secretly took photos and send them to his father

Light sleeper. Even when you stare at him, he will suddenly be very awake.

One time Kamui tried pulling a prank by doodling on his sleeping face

Chrome suddenly jerk awake and scared the hell out of Kamui

Will keep an eye for everyone, especially Kamui & Camu

"Kamui, be careful! Don't stick your body out of the window!"

"Camu stop encouraging him!

"DON'T GO THROWING YOUR TRASH OUTSIDE!!!"

Save him please #2

Kamui

Sit in the middle row with Lee and you inbetween to separate them

You think his normal voice is already too loud? Wait until he starts bickering with Lee about ANYTHING

Bless your ears

Telling Watanabe or Chrome to stop for a while so he can pet some wild animals they found on the way

"Kamui, that's a bear-"

"So what? It looks like it need a hug-

"STOP! It will attack you!"

"Let him be. One less passenger, the better."

Will post a selfie or short videos and posting it on his social media

When you fall asleep, he strangely didn't speak at all. He instead made a shushing gesture whenever someone ask him something

Snoring so loud you need to borrow one of Banji's noise cancelers.

Lee tried to stuff his mouth with a cloth to muffle his loud snoring

Pull out his gaming console when he's bored. He brings two of his consoles so he can play together with you, making Lee lowkey jealous annoyed

Lee

Backseat driver just because he will told Watanabe or Chrome that they're going to the wrong way

Will bicker with Kamui

Probably trying to show off to Kamui (mainly YOU) by stating random facts about the landscape from wikipedia

If Kamui finds out he's just trying to impress you, he will deny it with pink cheeks and stop talking

Liked to open the window, until a bug flying in and he nearly screamed

Will compete with mama chrome to remind you to drink water (gotta stay hydrated, people)

"Here's water."

"Lee, Chrome just gave me some earlier…"

"It was long ago. Stay hydrated, it's pretty hot out there."

"IT WAS 5 MINUTES AGO!"

If Camu annoys him, he will throw the plastic bottle to the back

Also a light sleeper. But not as bad as Chrome though. He will just grumbled or mumbling when you're whispering with anyone

A grumpy boy when someone wake him

Camu

Lost at the rock paper scissors with Kamui & Lee so he abandoned on the back with Banji

Doesn't use the seatbelt even after Watanabe screamed at him

He's a rebellious man, leave him be Watanabe

Will annoyed the hell out of Lee and Kamui (like blowing their ears or purposely using his earphones with maximum volume near them)

Leaned forward so he can chat with you

He and Banji sometimes forgotten there when either Lee and Kamui forget (read: purposely) to lifts the seats

Steal Kamui's snacks

When he get bored, he will put his headset and listen to some hard rock songs

If Lee annoys him, he will put the headset near Lee's head and turn the volume to max

Heavy sleeper, like, even when there's storm and lightning outside, he won't even twitch

He has his own snacks that he bought at gas station without Chrome noticing

Got along with Banji really well (mainly because Banji sleep all the time and gave him one of his comfy pillow & blanket)

Banji

This mf sleep all the way

Put the headset, use his eye mask, and no one can disturb him

Even when he hits his head during the bumpy road

He choose the back seat so he can sleep peacefully

The only time he awake is when he need to use the bathroom

But sometimes at terrible timing

"Hey, are we near the rest area yet?"

"What? No-"

"I need to use the bathroom"

"BUT WE JUST LEAVE THE LAST REST AREA 10 MINUTES AGO!"

His and Camu's seat is full of comfy cushion, blanket, and snacks that Camu steals from Kamui

"Why'd you bring so many pillows?"

"Just in case of emergency"

"?????"

Strangely, he has everything that you'd need during the trip

Need a tissue? Here you go. Had motion sickness? Here some medicine. Want some gummies? He will sneaked a pack without Chrome noticing

Also doesn't use the seatbelt

He sometimes kick the middle seat when Kamui is too noisy

Once Watanabe saw a pair of leg from the back seat and he yelled at Banji to sit properly

Will use Camu's lap as a pillow without hesitation

🔥 for TMNT; you can pick the series uwu

I'm really just gonna go with what's on the top of my head, since finally watching rise myself my TikTok has been full of tmnt content and since the franchise got a bit of a revamp in popularity as well since the movie, i;ve been seeing some slander I can not handle u_u if this are bad takes idk but its an excuse XD Mainly people claiming the 2012 versions of the turtles don't act like brothers at all, that they hate each other. Heavey talks about Mikey being abused even. Spilter playing favorites and looking some is over the top its a show after all. But I'm sorry a lot of the smack talk is no different than me with my own siblings even today with us all as adults. There is just something about being related that makes ya wanna start fights. I even am this way with cousins around my age cause well they were like siblings to me and a bit with my best friend who is basically my sister. Yet I see it so often at least once a day about people just so against thier brother's relationships when not they care about each other and there is a lot of proof to this. Leo got hurt Raph stayed around the whole time they were in a coma. When Raph hugs Mikey because he thought he died. Mikey followed after Leo so they wouldn't go on a mission without backup. Raph not breaking the bro code when Casey asked if April ever talks about him and Raphs tells him Don likes her. There is a lot and I'm sorry but siblings fight it happens. When you and another person spend time together a lot of fighting happens how you handle it after that matters and uh hello most of thier lives they never got to go outside so they are bound to get annoyed with each other. Seth Green did a good job voicing Leo in 2012. Raph slander (okay so a lot of this is about 2012 right now XD) Raph is normally the big tough guy in the shows and comics after a bit that's been his whole thing. YET this boy is so quick to jump in to fight for his brothers like when Leo got yet through the window, or when Mikey got captured by the yokai. The second his brothers are in danger he's there to protect them. How he may not get donnies crush on April but hell stand by his side. Raph isn't abusive he's the hot head. I'm sorry but when your raised to fight and such and got anger issues? yeah a boy gonna react with his fists and words. Dosen't mean Raph is a bad brother I mean look how he babies his own pets? Hes just not good showing that affection to his brothers as he is the pets that kind of a normal trait even more so for a teen! Tmnt over all: STOP. HYPEING. ONE. SERIES. BY. TRASHING. ANOTHER TMNT has been around for so long there are so many things to get from it shows, movies, comics, and more. There isn't one good version only it's like a buffet of content! I have personally been getting into the comics myself and man the tears I have been spilling over the turtles! Leos best moment is clearly in TMNT vs Batman movie where he kicks Ras a Ghoul in the balls and tells them he's sixteen and learned his finishing move from a rat. I'm sorry that is funny as all fucking hell. 2012 wasn't too anime, I personally loved the break in animation for expressions and such it added to a lot of moments. Baised maybe cause Ciro Neil was part of this version and he also was behind my favorite show SRMTHFG and worked on Teen Titans. SOO Slightly simllair but Rise also! I think the times they didn't animate the characters was used so well my favorite episode I feel is mystic library because I die every time they get taken by the bats ;3; VENUS should get more love! Im baised cause power rangers crossover sure but I wat Venus to get her due!

"Sometimes the best we can do is to start over"

Hey guys! I'm back with new fanfic. It's about Steve Peggy and teen!reader again. Hope you like it xx

Warnings: none, it's sad tho idk if that's a warning

Pairings: mention of Steve x Peggy

Summary: Nick Fury gives you a task to listen to someone's private conversation while in school (with earbugs). Turns out it's something no one had a right to hear.

It's Civil war era, but I'll ignore the plot.

I don't own anything, but part of the plot of this fic lol

And as always, I'll give a song recommendation.

-☆-☆-☆-☆-☆-☆-☆-

"So Y/N basically want you have to do is listen to the conversation on earbugs, and remember what people talk about." Nick said to me. I was confused to why does it matter so much, he didn't even tell me who's conversation I'm listening to. I had to go to school, but he claimed it's important.

"But who am I gonna listen to and what is it about Nick?"

"Classified. As to what is it about, I expect you to find out."

I rolled my eyes at him, this was getting very stupid, really fast.

"How is it classified to me when I'm the one doing the mission?"

"Miss L/N, your friends are out, waiting for you." JARVIS announced, and I knew my conversation with Nick was over.

"Just remember what they talk about Y/N. Bye kid." he rushed out of the room, and I rolled my eyes at him. Again.

-

I was in school, waiting for people to start talking on my earbug. They were probably HYDRA agents or something. I heard a cough from time to time, or loud breathing, but that's it. I was so bored, our professor was old, she was talking in a very slow and monotone voice.

I was just starting to doze off, when I heard voices.

"Steve, you're back." said an old female voice. It was weak, but so full of happiness at the moment.

I was confused tho. Why in the world would Nick give me task to listen to an old granny talking?!

"Well I couldn't leave my best girl, you know."

"OU MY GOD" I yelled out of shock.

Everyone turned around to look at me, and teacher just raised an eyebrow.

"Uhm, nothing, nothing" I mumbled, covering my face with a notebook.

It was Steve's voice! No doubt! I didn't want to listen to it anymore, but I couldn't just pull out my earphones in the middle of the class. Maybe the professor was old, but man she had an eyes worthy of a hawk. (A/N: I know it's allowed in some schools, but let's say it's not in this one.)

I listened to their conversation, unwillingly, and it was so sad. I found out this granny's name was Peggy. (A/N she heard of Margaret Carter, but didn't know a story, and that she's Peggy.)

I was kinda curious to who was Peggy, but I didn't want to pry more than I am. I felt awful for doing this to Steve, even tho my subconcience kept telling me it's not my fault, I couldn't bring myself to believe it.

"Oh Steve, overdramatic as always." laughed Peggy. It was a genuine laugh, but you could see pain and tiredness hidden behing it. My heart ached for that poor granny. But I smiled through my sadness, because if her laugh. And because she was right.

"And somethimes the best thing we could do is to- to start o-v-ve-e-" Peggy's words were lost in a coughing fit, and silence followed. I was scared of the worst.

Suddenly, I heard the most unexpected thing, and I couldn't control my emotions anymore:

"Steve. You-you're back." said Peggy, while crying, like she sees him for the first time after ice.

Then it hit me. She really didn't remember.

"Well I couldn't leave my best girl. Not when she owes me a dance." Steve retorted.

My eyes started tearing up.

"Miss L/N! Why are you crying?" professor asked me. Oh no. I had a reputation of girl who never ever cried. The "tough guy" as you say. Only few people knew I don't actually have a heart made of stone.

"Oh, no I have allergies, excuse me." I said. I did have allergies, and teachers knew it. So I was supposed to drink a pill whenever you I them.

This time it was no exception, and teacher made you drink them.

Soon after it was the lunch break. I ran out of classrom, outside in front of school, and went to garden to my secret spot. My friend Jon, of course followed me and he lnew where it is. He came and hugged me, knowing it's not allergies.

"Shh it's gonna be okay sis." he said. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"I can't." I said through tears. He knew what I meant tho. He comforted me, and later we met up with our other friends and chatted.

Day passed by, and I was on my way home, to avengers compound.

-

I stormed in Nick's office like a hurricane. I wanted answers.

"Why the fuck did you have me listen to that? And who is Peggy?"

"Y/N! What were they talking about?" he seemed unfazed by my outburst.

"I won't tell you a single thing I heard!"

"You have to."

"WHO IN THE WORLD IS PEGGY NICK?!?! WHY DID I LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATION?" I yelled.

Unknown to me, Steve came in that moment.

"What is going on?" he asked hearing me yell 'Peggy'.

Fury just gave me a pointed look and stormed out.

"Steve!" I yelled, and ran to him. I hugged him tughtly and silently cried to his shirt, hoping Fury wouldn't notice. I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I kept saying.

Steve held me in his arms, and moved us to living room couch. I was still hugging him and crying. I kept apologising to him.

2nd person POV

"Shh kid, calm down. Shh, baby it's all okay stop apologising." Steve kept repeating, hoping to stop your tears. He didn't know how to soothe you, but he tried. He ran his fingers through your hair gently, and rubbed your back with his other hand.

Slowly you stopped crying. His heartbeat lulled you to sleep, and you fell asleep, sitting next to Steve.

You eyelids slowly opened, and you see a blanket draped over you. You were still sitting next to Steve, while he was reading a book.

"Stevie?" you asked.

"Oh Petal, you're awake. Can you please tell me what happened earlier?" he asked eyes full of concern, his book forgotten.

You slowly tell him everything that happened. This time your cheeks were a little tear-stained, but you weren't full-on crying.

"YOU LISTENED TO WHAT?" Steve was shocked.

He looked really angry, you never seen him like this. He noticed you looked ashamed for listening to that, and his face softened.

"Oh, I'm not mad at you, Petal. Only at Nick. It's completely his fault." he said, and hugged you.

You looked up at him.

"Only at Nick?" you asked quietly.

"Yes kiddo. Only at Nick." he retorted.

You talked a bit more, Steve made sure you lnow it's not your fault. Then you just talked about random things, you were totally relaxed by this point.

You were happy that Steve wasn't mad at you. Sometime later he went out to 'have a word' with Fury. You wouldn't like to know what that will look like. :)

Heyyy!

So i already requested something but u said Tumblr wasn't nice ÷/ . Soooo maybe a Josuke in a biker!au where reader is friend with him but he thinks she likes him because he sees a lot of "signals" , like he thinks that she's filrting . But at the end she loves Okuyasu so then Josuke is just like "I love her and I wanna kill the guy she 'likes' but I don't wanna kill my bff"

Sorry if it's too long, if you don't like this story then you can make one, I just want Josuke 'cause I miss him 🥺

Ah yeah- Tumblr decided to devour everything and "HEY YOU SHOULD. READ THIS YOU NERD" and spammed me everything BUT the answers. So, Sorry for the wait on these, Unfortunately I can't even do Oneshots since uh- Let's just say I'm kinda half awake and mu coffee isn't helping my brain from becoming smooth. Also, I got into a new school, Had pack etc etc, So hopefully you didn't mind the wait :'D.

Biker AU Josuke with a Darling who's giving him 'signs' and is inlove with Okuyasu.

*Josuke loves you! Especially how you act so oblivious to how you give him such cute signs! You touched his hands more then once! It's fate-! You hugged him for more then two minutes! You looked at him! You smiled! But wait....Why are you always looking at Okuyasu with such a loving look?

*Now, The Biker part? He loves how you don't care that he's in a biker gang! And, You never snitch, True love!!! It's so wonderful, You care about him, Right? Yes. You only admire Okuyasu, Like someone would like a piece of art... Nothing else. Right...? Well, You better not like Okuyasu. It won't turn out well for either of you.

*Josuke WILL ask you to join his gang. He doesn't have alot of patience, You better start giving him the CORRECT answer. Which is YES. PLEASEACCEPTORELSEYOU'LLMAKEHIMCRY>:((((.

*Josuke would confess his live after a month or so, Honestly he would've done it earlier but...the whole biker gang and him being a nervous boy was in his way of confessing. When he asks you, It'll go like this....

"I erm....[Y/N]..I have something to tell you-!"

"Hm? What is it, Josuke Kun~? Do I need to do your homework again?"

"Wha-?! No-"

Well, more or less it would go that way.

*now, Say you and Okuyasu got together. Oh boy...You poor bby. I will send you care packages of gifts and idk maybr I'd send you platonic kisses on your forehead. Josukes eyes would go dull before returning back to normal after a few minutes. You'd bid him farewell, And well... Okuyasu has been gone for a while. Josuke seems to not care Okuyasu left, claiming he had went somewhere for gang business??? You didn't trust this, and that's when you awoke in josukes arms. You poor soul.

*Now, You don't reject Our lil' yandere Josuke? You'll get motorcycle rides and star gazing! You'll get the most caring anf protective boyfriend, Sweet cuddles, YOU'LL BE HIS LIL' BACKPACK OK HE WANTS TO BE HELD AND LOVED, snacks, and you'd get Okuyasu! As a friend, of course. He wouldn't be murdered! I guess this is a good ending? Just don't make your biker boy jealous!!

~~~~~~

Jdjsjsakja- its like 1 AM so when i wake up and re read this it'll probably make me hide inside a closet and question my life before looking at Moth bruno fanart. He'd a fluffy man and all fluffy men deserve luv :). I will now proceed to drink more coffee and get confused repeatedly and then proceed to pass out on the stairs.

May I Have This Dance?

Yancy x gender neutral!reader

@speedyprofessionalpandaweasel ty for the request

A/N: Idk if anyone actually reads these. I don't. Reader is a shy little bitch. Like me! Yancy is a COWARD w/feelings. Mark is the best of wingmen. No cursing. I've been pretty good about that recently. Rated G because literally NOTHING happens besides a dance and the mention of a shank once or twice. This is a soft one, I think. Enjoy!

Word Count: 1.9k

--

You leaned your cheek on your hand and gazed at Yancy from across the cafeteria. You traced his features with your eyes, implementing them into your brain. He laughed and you couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

You had fallen in love with the prisoner over the time you’d been at Happy Trails Penitentiary. You and your friend Mark had spent your first few weeks trying to escape but gave up after some guards threw you in solitary. Who knew the box would have a fairy in it? And who knew she’d be such a chatterbox?

You both decided it wasn’t worth the effort to try and escape, and that you might as well stay in prison. It wasn't so bad. The staff seemed to like you guys, and you had each other. 2-5 years didn’t seem that long.

Then you met a prisoner by the name of Yancy. He had greeted you two a couple of weeks after you showed up. He showed you around the prison, introduced you to some other inmates, and gave you both prison shanks, just in case. You didn’t think much of him.

Then you heard him sing.

And he was suddenly the love of your life.

You were in solitary(you’d picked a fight with a guard who made fun of Mark) when you heard something. Someone, actually. You heard a beautiful voice singing nearby, and you wanted to know who it was. You leaned your ear against the wall, listening. It was better than sitting in silence. Eventually, a guard came and got you. You looked around and saw a door to another cell. It seemed to be where the sound was coming from. You asked the guard who was in the other cell.

“There? Probably Yancy. He gets thrown in there a lot.” he explained. “I feel kinda bad for the kid…”

You started to pay attention to Yancy. He was smart, funny, caring… at least, that’s what you saw. He did have a few anger issues, but nothing really severe. You began to develop feelings for him. From a distance.

“Can you not stare at your crush for five seconds?” a voice snapped you out of your trance. You pulled your head up and saw Mark looking at you weirdly.

“W-What?” You stuttered, embarrassed at being caught. Mark rolled his eyes.

“Are you ever gonna tell him you like him?” He asked. You looked back over at Yancy.

He smiled at something someone else said and you got a warm feeling. He turned to you, catching you staring at him. Your eyes widened and you flushed, turning back to your food. You looked up at Mark a few times and he sighed in annoyance. He looked over where Yancy was for a second before tapping on your tray. You took that as a “he’s not looking anymore” and looked at Mark, who was still waiting for you to respond.

“Uh… probably not…” You answered. He sighed.

“You are the most awkward person I know… and I’m me!” He teased. You both laughed. Mark looked back at Yancy and smirked. “He’s looking over here…” the YouTuber said in a sing-song voice. You tilted your head a bit before looking back at the group. Sure enough, Yancy was looking over at you two, but he looked away and pretended to laugh at something when he was caught. You blushed and turned back to Mark.

“He probably just… thinks I’m weird for staring at him…” you mumbled. Mark raised an eyebrow.

“We’re in prison, Y/N. If he had a problem with you staring at him, we’d probably be in the infirmary right now,” He claimed. You shrugged. He saw your sad face and sighed. You looked up at him, frowning.

“What?”

“Nothing, nothing…” He sat his chin on his palm. “Just thinking…”

--

Yancy stood in the yard, shank ready in case he needed it. One of the more recent inmates said they needed to talk to him. Privately.

Now, in most cases, he would’ve denied this request. He didn’t know them, he couldn’t trust them. Might as well not even bother. But this inmate was different. This one was friends with someone he intended to get close to. Someone he’d started to like over the short months they’d been there.

He figured that was a good enough reason to take the chance.

He did keep Jimmy nearby in case things got bad.

Yancy heard a noise and turned towards it. Mark entered the yard and walked towards him. He puffed up his chest, trying to look intimidating. Yancy found it funny.

“Ight. What’d youse wanna talk about?” He asked. Mark cleared his throat before speaking.

“Yancy, do you like my friend?” Mark asked. Yancy’s eyes widened for a moment before he re-composed himself.

“What’s it to youse?” He said, his face tinted pink. Mark rolled his eyes.

“They like you too. They’re just too shy to admit it,” He explained. Yancy smiled slightly at the news. “And, apparently, you’re too much of a coward to admit it…” Mark said under his breath. It wasn’t very much appreciated, and Yancy frowned as he took a step towards the other man.

“Now, hold on, youse thinks youse can just--” His intimidating speech was cut off by Mark groaning.

“Yeah, I know, you’re a tough guy, I can’t talk to you like that, blah, blah, blah…” He said, annoyed. Yancy flushed. “I’m only telling you this so that Y/N can stop feeling so depressed and you can stop being so weird around each other.” Yancy scoffed and crossed his arms.

“And how do I know youse ain’t jus’ trying to embarrass me?” He glowered. Mark sighed and looked at the ground, shuffling his feet.

“I just… want my friend to be happy…” He mumbled. Yancy’s face softened as he watched the man. He exhaled through his nose.

He seemed to be genuine, but Yancy was still worried. What if this was all a trick? An elaborate trick to embarrass him in front of his friends? His family?

But… what if it was real? What if you did like him and he could finally do all the couple-y things that people do? Holding hands, cuddling, kissing…

Oh, God, how long had it been since he kissed someone?

“Alright…” He growled. Mark looked at him and smiled. He lunged forward, hugging Yancy. Yancy, who thought this was a fight and had brought out his shank, froze.

“Whoa, are you okay?” Mark asked as he pulled away. Yancy shook his head.

“I’m fine,” he insisted. “Did youse have a plan or somethin'?” Mark smiled and started to giggle.

“Oh, I’m glad you asked,” He giggled, “Just leave it to ol’ Markimoo. I'll talk to you tomorrow.”

--

“This… isn’t exactly what I had in mind…” Yancy said carefully as he looked around the room.

Mark had somehow convinced the warden to let him have candles, rose petals, a record player?! How much did he suck up to these people?

“Yeah… it is a bit much…” He admitted while scratching his head. “But if I know Y/N, and I do, they’re a sucker for serenades.”

“You… You want me to serenade them?” Yancy said in disbelief.

“Yes! They love your voice, it’s the reason they started paying attention to you. I’m sure they’d be happy no matter how you confessed, but this makes it more special!” He explained enthusiastically. How many rom-coms did this man watch?

Yancy groaned and looked at the room again. This seemed… a bit much…

“I don’t know…” he sighed. Mark frowned.

“Yancy.” He said sternly. Yancy raised an eyebrow at him. “Do you love Y/N?”

“Yes…” Yancy responded hesitantly.

“I said,” Mark raised his voice, “Do you love Y/N?”

“Yes!”

“Do you think they deserve love?”

“Of course!”

“Do you think you’re good enough for them?” Yancy paused.

“Uh…”

“Good enough,” Mark patted Yancy on the shoulder, “Just… do your best! It’ll be great!” He jogged to the back of the room and ducked behind a box. Yancy squinted at him and furrowed his eyebrows. Mark waved his hands, urging him to pay attention to the entrance. Yancy rolled his eyes but turned towards the door. You walked in about a minute later.

“So, Mark, what did you-” You froze when you saw Yancy standing in the middle of the room.

Rose petals covered the floor, along with a few boxes. A record player sat nearby, and it started playing slow jazz music when you walked in. The only light source was a few candles that illuminated his face with a dim, yellow light. It looked like a dream.

You hoped you would wake up before it got too weird.

“Hi,” Yancy greeted, his hands behind his back.

“H-Hi,” You said quietly, keeping your arms straight at your sides.

Yancy looked back at Mark, who gave him a thumbs up. The song’s lyrics were about to begin, so Yancy took a deep breath. He saw your confused and kind of scared face and exhaled all of his breath, missing the lyric cue. This wasn’t gonna work. A serenade would be too much, too fast. For him, at least. He wanted to save that. So what was he supposed to do? He could feel Mark glaring at him, and you were shuffling in place awkwardly. Yancy looked down at his feet, wondering what to do.

Then, an idea popped into his head.

“Youse ever… seen me dance?” Yancy asked suddenly. You blinked, not exactly processing the question at first.

“No… I can’t say that I have, no…” You said.

He smiled and walked towards you. You were a bit worried about what he was going to do. You were in prison, after all.

He held his hand out to you. You looked at it, and then at him. You tilted your head. He chuckled and shook his head as you blushed.

“May I have this dance?” He asked and bowed, hand still extended. You hesitated for a moment before slowly taking his hand.

He gently tugged you to the center of the room. He laid one hand on your waist and moved one of your hands to his shoulder. He interlocked both of your other hands. You blushed and looked down, making him chuckle.

“Hey, no need to be shy… it’s just us here…” He consoled. You looked past him at Mark, who quickly ducked behind the box. “Well, yeah, he’s here too…” You both laugh a bit.

The two of you didn’t exactly dance. Moreso, you rocked back and forth on your feet. It didn’t really matter to either of you. You spent most of the night just talking about yourselves. Learning about each other looked like the best thing to do. You talked, you joked, you gazed dreamily into each other’s eyes…

It was wonderful.

When the night was over, you walked Yancy back to his cell.

“I coulda walked youse back to youse’s cell…” He murmured. You laughed.

“Yeah, but… I figure you get in enough trouble as it is… I wouldn’t want you getting caught…” You explained. He blushed at your thoughtfulness. “You can walk me next time.”

“Uh… th-thanks…” He stuttered. You took his face in your hands and looked into his eyes. You didn’t move for a moment, waiting to see if he’d pull away. He didn’t, so you went ahead and gave him a small peck on the lips. He stared at you after you pulled back.

“Goodnight, Yancy…” You smiled at him as you walked away. He gave you a small wave before walking back into his cell and flopping on the bed. He smiled up when he thought about what you said.

Next time…

God, he hoped there’d be a next time...

I finished this at 11:00 pm I'm so tired
