#hes a very curious person like it kinda comes with the territory of what he does with his life

[dolls-self-ships]

What do you think Ford’s reaction is to new music? I just imagine one day playing one of your playlists for him and him just being really confused. Him being all like, “this is what people listen to now?”

to be honest I think he would be open to trying new music but overall prefers what he grew up with. I think as a scientist being open minded comes very naturally to him, because to do that kind of work you have to be open to explore new ideas and discover new things, so I absolutely think he would give modern music a try! He would be very shocked by the kind of language being used in music these days though. Poor guy would get very flustered if you showed him any lyrics by cupcake, hell I feel like even Ariana grande might make him blush. Will listen to it if you really want him to but will sit there awkwardly and refuse to sing along with you, sorry

"I won't cry for you" - Yandere Tyler Galpin x Female Reader PART 3

•Part 1 •Part 2

Words: 1699

Warnings: Mentions of torture, psychology, dysfunction yet healthy family relations if you squint.

Show: Wednesday (2022)

Summary: You've graciously or stupidly, granted Tyler a phone to call his father for whatever reason he had while you went to call yours for assistance. And since you weren't fully knowledgeable about Hydes, you contacted the only person you knew, who wasn't in prison, that had that knowledge. Your father, Alvin Gates.

• •

🥺 Sorryyyy this took forever a lot of months, planned to post this at February but got sick and many stuff happened, preparing for an interview :--D but am back in my writing mojo!/kinda, HAPPY HALLOWEEN) AND I HEARD season 2 is coming omggg I'm excited

————

"Well, well, well~ If it isn't the sweet consequence of my actions with your mother." A voice unmistakably grouchy speaks, sounding jovial with every word out.

A quick glance to your locked bedroom door before you finally said a response into the cellphone.

"You sound well, father." You mildly greeted, a tinge of a smile in your voice. To think it's almost only been a month since the last call.

"Yeah yeah it's been a while but cut the chitchat, sweetie, what do you need helping with?" You could imagine an eyeroll as your father said, always cutting to the chase.

"About Hydes." You spared no other detail and maintained calm articulation. Not that you needed to be careful with him, thankfully.

For more precaution, it's better if not even your own father knows about Tyler being in the house. You didn't want things to get out of hand.

"Ah- what about them? Did something happen that isn't supposed to–" Suddenly silence overtook the line, a thoughtful humming until he spoke again. "Don't get yourself into any unfamiliar territory, kid. That's suppose to be your mother's speciality."

So he noticed, of course he did. Better leave that to his wandering imagination than spoil your plan. A very non-existent plan at the moment.

"I don't plan to. Father, I was just curious since I kept hearing about them." True, that wasn't a lie in the slightest. "I was wondering if you'd know anything about them."

Surely he must know something.

"Hmm, you heard it from someone, no doubt. . . Alright, alright. What do you want to know exactly, kid. I'll tell ya as much as I can afford to." Sounds like mother has been keeping tabs on him.

"Hydes obey only one master, their own, correct?" You continued when father hummed a helpful tune, "would it be possible to sever the ties between a Hyde and its master."

A pause in-between your father's breathing left you suspended.

"Well. . . Got bad news for you kid, I don't know any available methods for that." He sighed gruffy like he felt bad, "sorry but can't help you with the whole severing business. It's set in stone, pretty much."

"I see. . . " You massaged your temples, disappoinment rising inside you. But you couldn't just accept this answer easily, stubbornness seemed to take hold in your heart. For what reason? You couldn't figure out.

"However–" A hoarse chuckle emerged from your cellphone. "It's not entirely impossible to say there aren't other ways of solving that problem. I'm sure you can get some creative ideas from their origins, kid. Only one thing is set in stone, Hydes only serve one master."

Father's bold hint sparked a lightbulb in your head. Their origins.

In the first place, what caused Hydes to bond an undying loyalty to their masters was–

"Sorry for not being alot of help, kid, I'm out of time for the day. Take good care of yourself, will you."

"I will." A buzz of excitement slowly crept over you as an idea began running through your mind. "You were very helpful, dad, thanks. You take care too."

"Mm sounds like you found an answer eh?" He sounded genuinely happy, making you feel much more sturdy in this new plan.

"Not exactly but I should be on the right track." If Tyler would go along with it.

"Mm so you're going to try any attempts, I see. Hah– it's hilarious how similar you and your mother's thinking is!"

Again with the comparisons. You rolled your eyes, "Goodbye, father."

"Alright alright, see ya kiddo. For now." BEEP. BEEP.

The call was over already.

.  .  .

You turned off the burner phone, picking out the block of battery from the back and saving it in your other hiding space for another time. Now you should check on Tyler, you can't afford to trust him so easily especially when his father's a sheriff. 

Quietly you went out of your bedroom, closing the door slowly so as to not make a sound. You headed down the stairs in a casual, fast pace to quickly see his state of mind.

But it's likely he isn't planning to screw himself over... Your assumption was most likely made correct when you came to see Tyler sitting slumped on the couch, his face buried deep in his hands. 

Sweeping your gaze across the living room and floor, the burner phone you gave him was nowhere in sight… Mentally noting to check the trash bin by the kitchen before you stomped down the stairs and made yourself known.

Tyler's eyes peeked up first from the gaps in-between his fingers like the leafy venus flytraps back home ever so often tempting you to closer inspect. To place your finger in there, to feed. 

He waited on your next move.

Your arms folded, hiding your hands twitching on their own for a tweezer. "Did you have a good talk?" 

What else could you really say without sounding too interested in him. 

"It was something…" Tyler did a small shrug, less energy than he's shown before, voice dulled by the cover of his fingers. "Could've gone better. I wish he didn't hang up so fast."

"What did you talk about?" Might as well see how much information he was willing to give.

A small sigh, Tyler slowly revealed half of his distraught face. "Not a lot. He wasn't interested in what I had to say… Told me to be careful." Strange of the dutiful sheriff to say but then again you didn't know what kind of father-son relationship they had.

"How are you feeling?" One of mother's favourite lines growing up that you've somehow adapted into your vocabulary. It seemed the most appropriate.

You continued watching Tyler's tensed form with a safe but short distance away, the coffee table acting as a possible shield in between you and him. Incase he raged.

But there was none.

There was something in his usual silence this time that irked you. Like he didn't fully trust you. 

You approved of that, as he shouldn't. Mutually. Especially if things ever go wrong because of him, you were ready at a moment's notice to abandon everything to do with him. 

"I… Hate him." 

The pause went on for however many tensed seconds before Tyler's hands fell onto his knees.

"Sorry sorry, I know I shouldn't be saying this… I mean I can't say I don't miss him." 

"You can say what you want. I don't mind," you said flatly, genuinely meaning it. His expressions stiff, he looked mentally pent up, thoughts practically steaming out from his ears.

"No, it's fine. You've done a lot for me already, I owe you." He grinned brightly, the dark cloud looming over from before gone in an instant, "for that phone call too."

"Sure," it wouldn't be bad to have a Hyde indebted to you.

Tyler checked the ticking clock on the kitchen wall, "I guess it is getting late… See you in the morning?"

You nodded. "Night, Galpin." 

"G-Good night! Have a good sleep." He smiled dopey, waving briskly while walking backwards to the foot of the stairs before jogging up to his bedroom. So naturally at home.

Just how eager was he to get back in his room?

 That wasn't his usual way of walking, what could he be looking forward to or hiding in there… Or he could just be relieved of stress after that talk with his father, maybe that brought about his new behavior.

Your suspicions were beginning to sound far-fetched even to yourself but then again, there was always that silver of possibility that he could be planning to rebel against you. 

So you moved fast towards the kitchen sink, tiny spikes of uneasiness pulsing through you, turning the facuet on and letting the water run loudly as you went to look into the trash bin.

Expecting to look down into a void of nothingness.

The large black plastic bag sleeved over the edge of the bin looked loose and puffy. Clearly you didn't do this, your meticulousness wouldn't allow such a lazy set up. You pat down the puffy areas, flattening the edges to allow better access in seeing what trash had been collected.

Shiny peices of black metal greet you at the bottom of the pit, tiny and almost powder-like glitter in the kitchen light. What previously used to be a burner phone now looked like the result of being in someone's clenched fist. Useful monsterous strength… if he could actually get it under his full control.

Whatever anxiety crept inside your heart disappeared as you contently spun on your heel and turned off the kitchen faucet. 

A small appreciation for Tyler as thanks to him, there's less work for you now.

You wondered why you even felt 'anxious' at all, it must've been the slight stress of knowing he could've screwed things up for you. And himself. Now that makes sense, of course since it's not as if you actually knew him personally even back in town. 

Feeling much more at peace, you headed towards your own bedroom, adjacent from Tyler's. His room barely made any noise except for the few inaudible mumbles and the faint use of his shower and the light peeking through from underneath his door. 

You never noticed before but he always had the lights turned on in there. Well, it's not as if you were the one paying the electrical bill. It was nothing noteworthy.

Once settling in your own bed and underneath your blanket in the cozy dark, sleep came easily… Until your brain jostled an interesting observation your very eyes must've slipped. 

In the trash bin, there was no sight of the small black piece. The memory card. 

The sim card. 

Despite his questionable actions, you chose to sleep, thoughts racing alongside a strange excitement building up in you. 

Oh what are you up to, Tyler Galpin.

Time was ticking. Neither on his or your side. He just didn't know it yet.

In the following morning you received a misscall from an unknown number. Father. He never contacts you first. There's nothing he needs that you could provide. It must be about the Hyde. 

Finally.

[sillyblues]

I kinda wanna see Ronal-Tonowari-Reader dynamic as parents to Ao'nung and Tsireya now

#RONAL X READER X TONOWARI AS PARENTS (TOTW)...! *°࿐

ੈ✩‧₊˚ notes: i am writing this instead of studying for my finals which is in 2 days. is it worth failing school? hahahahaha umm—

You three are responsible so you don’t try for babies when Tonowari hasn’t earned his position as Metkayina’s Olo’eyktan or Ronal with the position as Tsahik or you as the Karyu. I’m not saying you haven’t done any steamy stuff before this bc that would be boring but you do and you just play safe ykwim?

So when you three have done that, you get pregnant first. Like all the hunger and need from the pain the whole miscommunication fiasco thing is poured into most love-making sessions and when you try to have babies, it gets more intense. Months later, you gave birth to Ao’nung.

From his birth, he cried hard and loud, letting the clan know of his arrival to the world. And when you cradled him to your chest for the first time, his tiny little fingers grip a finger of yours hard. He turns purple and his frown is deep as he cried and you chuckle at how beautiful your first baby boy. You had a feeling he would become a warrior.

Ronal got pregnant next and she gives birth to Tsireya. When she comes out, she cried softly but calms down as soon as she is swayed and her head rests on Ronal’s chest. She snored softly, completely different from her brother’s birth and you chuckle once more. You had a feeling she would become a healer or a teacher. Or maybe both.

You were correct. Ao’nung takes after Ronal so much and Tsireya with you as well that there is a running joke that maybe the Great Mother had misplaced them in your bellies.

When they were both children, Ao’nung smiles but not as much as he frowns or scowls. He was quiet most of the time, only laughing and opening up with his family. Like Ronal, this made him grow with a lack of friends, unlike Tsireya. But each day and night, you make sure he is loved and let him learn how to manage emotions and get along with others at his own pace.

Naturally, he grew frustrated sometimes and threw a fit. The first time he said words he didn’t mean to you, Ronal had a talk with him personally and made him apologize to you with tears and a hug with you so tight. Ronal understands him better than anybody else so they bond in silence.

Tsireya was naturally curious. It is in her nature to ask a lot of questions and learn more about the life that surrounds the clan, the Great Mother. Ronal teaches her as the Tsahik but Tsireya is a very sensitive child and you are more soft and gentle than Ronal, so she prefers learning from you. You two could talk all day without rest and you wouldn’t get tired of it.

Tonowari is just… there.

Nah lmao I’m just kidding, Tonowari is like the middle ground. He is the parent that the children look up to. Ao’nung wants to be as strong and a great warrior as him and Tsireya admires him just because. But Tonowari is also stern when he feels is necessary. There were (and will be) times that Ao’nung and Ronal disobey what you tell them because you spoil them too much like going out of the Clan’s water territory or too deep into the jungle of the other islands. Tonowari disciplines them as what a parent should do and kids cry yk and you’re like half glaring at him in the back, your tail is thumping the mat of your pod and there is a dark aura around you. He is forced to let them go early to lessen your anger on him and you immediately smother them with kisses and hug them tight.

Ronal understands the need to discipline them but she doesn’t want to risk your anger lol so she just looks away when Tonowari begs her to help him ease your anger. She just pats her sobbing children and tells them not to do it again and might go on about how they are just looking out for their safety.

You sleep with the children and might let Ronal in too if you’re not that in a bad mood. Tonowari totally sleeps by himself when he makes the kids cry.

stray kids with a dyslexic s/o

a/n: praying my research was enough for this, please let me know if any of these descriptions are harmful/rude/inaccurate :,)

warnings/genre: reader can be insecure about capabilities, fluff w angst if you squint, g/n reader, hopefully somewhat accurate portrayals of dyslexia, but please let me know if any of these are disrespectful in any way <3

chan

-most accommodating towards your dyslexia, but like not in a patronizing way

-it’s just because most of what can be helpful is just second nature to him, like breaking down information into smaller pieces or writing large, reading things out loud like a dad at a grocery store, etc etc

-if you’re speech habits are affected by your dyslexia, he’ll always help you talk through your thoughts

-and if u ever feel insecure he’ll always reassure you and help you through it!! proofreading ur essays/emails, promising you’re never a bother or stupid, and he will literally never make fun of you for misreading/misspelling/missaying something

-it’s not really a massive deal to him, it just comes w the territory yknow?? he loves you for who you are, so he doesn’t really care to make it a major thing!!

-rather than seeing u as a dyslexic person, he just sees you as a person who has dyslexia ?? I hope that makes sense,, he just constantly reminds you on your strengths and what truly defines your capabilities

-but sometimes he does giggle a little if you make your phone font really large, but ONLY because it looks silly he swears <333

lee know

-I think at first he might struggle with it, especially if you two live together or are around each other a lot

-gets over it pretty quickly though, but I think he can be a little insensitive to the more emotional side of dyslexia?? like, he’ll forget you can feel insecure at times or you might have difficulties expressing something, so he’ll just be like “what”

-not in a cold way, just he sometimes forgets how to react

-doesn’t coddle you that much, if you need help he trusts you’ll seek him out of your own volition because the last thing he wants to do is make you feel incapable of being independent

-I think sends voice memos over texting already anyways, just finds it more convenient, but if you have auditory/processing issues he’ll literally transcribe his voice message to u

-it’s just about communication between you two, he doesn’t want to assume you need to be accommodated and it can make him seem kinda cold/avoidant about your dyslexia, esp if ur more sensitive??

-just reach out to him or he like “hey can you…” and he’ll immediately help you out in any way he can

changbin

-he doesn’t want to make you feel like you can’t be independent, but he’s very observant and attentive if you ever struggle/need something (he’s definitely mistaken you zoning out as being unable to process something a few too many times, but he’s trying)

-he uses google a lot for resources so sometimes he can be a little bit uninformed such as the time he asked if there’s “dyslexia glasses” he can get for you

-apologizes x100 if he ever asks you a disrespectful question, it’s not that he does it on purpose, but sometimes he’s just very curious but also very misinformed LMAO

-more emotionally accommodating, always encourages you and makes you feel better if any of your colleagues/peers look down on you

-puts a lot of effort in seeing your perspective and understanding your feelings, he thinks the way you feel because of your dyslexia is a lot more important than you being able to read a grocery list

-but if you tell him otherwise, he won’t hesitate to go and research into being more physically accommodating!! he never wants you to feel badly, especially if it’s from him doting on you just a touch too much

hyunjin

-very neutral on it?? not because he doesn’t care but more because he thinks it’s a bit strange to coddle you and baby you over dyslexia

-finds it uncomfortable when people give backhanded comments, even if unintentional, so he doesn’t want to patronize you or make you feel that way either

-but he’ll definitely look into helping a partner with dyslexia, or writing out a schedule for you in his neatest handwriting to help you organize your day (he makes the words pretty colors), or even just how to comfort you if your dyslexia ever gets in the way of anything

-would never tease you though unless he knew with 100% confidence you’d be okay with it, wouldn’t want even a sliver of insecurity to be caused by him

-similarly to changbin, he won’t go out of his way unless he notices you struggling, but this applies emotionally as well

-sometimes he can just know if you’re getting frustrated or struggling, so he’ll walk over and look at what you’re trying to write or read and help the best he can while reassuring you on your abilities :>

-it’s v nice especially if one of your symptoms is struggling with expression of feelings, as somehow he always just knows <3 but if he ever gets it wrong or makes you feel bad, he made you pinky promise to tell him so he can be a better boyfriend for u!!

han

-he probably accidentally patronized you a lot early on, because he didn’t really know how else to help you

-it was a bit overbearing, so once you told him that “yes I can read my texts on my own” he tones it down x90000, because ur a grown adult who just has dyslexia

-will always go out of his way to ask you if you ever need help with anything though, he doesn’t want to make you wait to reach out, or wait for him to notice

-also he because he might fail to notice if you’re having problems, especially in public or maybe at dinner with friends when ur fighting with a menu

-so he doesn’t want you to suffer in silence!! so he tries his best to help you in a respectful manner, and does a lot of research and reading into dyslexia

-likes to show off fun facts he learned, like naming off 12 recognized categories of dyslexia and ur just like ???

-“very cool babe!” -you after he somehow remembered an entire neurohealth article but didn’t notice you struggling with the grocery list he wrote out

felix

-he’s so patient and loving with you, and very empathetic

-he’s somehow a really good balance of knowing how to treat you or help you, or when you just need some time to think things through

-always reminds you of your intellectual capabilities or strengths, especially if he notices you getting nervous in situations where dyslexia might get in the way

-holds your hand but very loosely, like the others he really doesn’t want you to feel babied or a lack of independence

-but he’s so understanding if you sorta need that reassurance and accommodations, and he’s so incredibly patient and understanding about it as well

-but he’s still felix so if you’re 100% comfortable with him poking a bit of fun at you, just know he’ll recite that one Bella Thorn anti-bullying dyslexia ad LMAO

seungmin

-looks a lot into it to know what to do, but doesn’t go out of his way to make accommodations/alter lifestyle choices for you unless needed

-true neutral

-ur his s/o and you have dyslexia, cool, it doesn’t bother him unless it bothers you

-he can be kinda mean when it comes to your feelings though, might make a joke that’s a bit too far, but just let him know

-and if you struggle with expressing yourself, let him know and he’ll shut down any behaviors that might make you feel insecure

-sends you reminders to help you organize your schedule, makes sure to speak clearly and never gets annoyed if you need him to repeat/rewrite/read something out for you

-but other than that, it’s just another aspect to your relationship. he’ll never see it as a downside, and he loves you always <3 if you tell him he’s not doing enough, he’ll change, if you complain about a colleague clowning on you, he’ll go hire a hitman

jeongin

-“lol bella thorn”

-if you’re comfortable with it, he has a very playful approach to your dyslexia, making light jokes while you do the same

-if he asks you to wash the dishes or like go grab something, you’ll always respond with “is it because I have dyslexia 😞”

-honestly he does sometimes go a bit far with helping you out, exaggerating his writing to a point it seems ridiculous or speaking slowly like you’re a baby

-he’ll take it so seriously though if you ever express your discomfort with his actions, and he’ll always remember how you feel about certain things or if you struggled with anything in particular

-his search history,,,is a bit funny. ur not really sure how helpful a wikihow article from 2013 will be in regards to “reading to your dyslexic lover in dim lighting”, but you’re very impressed with not only the length of the article but also how jeongin practically has one for almost every single situation in which dyslexia might hinder you

-will still occasionally clown you for writing “if life gives you melons” one time though

[mamamittens]

Head empty, no thoughts

Just marine Nikia going through the rough patch of being held hostage by WBPs

Can't quite recall my last musings on the subject, but I do remember a few notes.

Mainly that her wings are smaller than... 'canon'. About a bit bigger than Shanandoans(??) where the wings go from above her head to about calves. Not flight capable but able to glide. And her hair is curly, very short asymmetrical bob. Tips about cheek level and a very short undercut.

I think I last imagined her as like, very low rank.

Anyway! Her crew and herself are captured! They ended up in WBP territory by accident on an unrelated mission and got intercepted by a contingent ship. Then transferred to the Moby for secure holding while they figure out what they wanted to do. At the time, Whitebeard didn't want any direct conflict with the Marines. Mainly a "I respect your space if you respect mine" deal, perhaps a holiday was drawing near and Whitebeard liked to keep the fuss to a minimum around that time.

Did I have her being sick at the time? I think I did??? But maybe she wasn't.

Maybe she was in the fight, doing decently well for an ensign (maybe trainee navigator while the Marines were trying to find her niche for Optimal Duty Assignment). Probably with batons cause she's still new to fighting and her wings are big enough to be a hazard if she fucks up with her blades. That and she prefers it this way.

Anyway, one of her crew mates is getting their ass beat and she clears house well enough to assist. Using Baby Armament Haki on her wings to shield them but it's not held very well and she ends up going down cause her wing is fucking broke. The main issue that she didn't have enough of the haki on her wings, so only part of it was shielded.

She's never injured a wing before, and even if she had, there's a LOT GOING ON IN THERE. It's all she can do to not scream, ashen pale and drenched in cold sweat as she tries to keep her wings pinned to her back.

She's still covering her crewmate though, and that's one of the reasons the WBP contingent didn't just sink the whole damn crew. Feeling kinda bad about it all (and curious about this ensign who seemingly just manifested armament well enough to not lose her whole wing). She does pass out before learning of their fate, her crew mate mistakenly touching her injured wing doing her in.

She comes to a few days later lightly sedated and wings tightly bandages up with splints. Doctors and nurses hovering over x-rays in fascination as they tell her she's bed bound for a few weeks, and her wings restrained for probably a couple of months until they heal. No haki until then, either.

Once the contingent returns to the Moby, she's transfered to the official med bay. Very awkward and uncomfortable being surrounded by pirate strangers as a marine. Her crew mates, after being checked over, are put in holding cells. They protested the separation pretty hard, which Whitebeard respected, but informed them it was happening anyway.

Marco is pretty intrigued and has all sorts of questions about her wings. Probably the first person she relaxes around enough to even mention her home islands.

As someone stuck in the med bay, eventually Thatch comes by (nosy) to personally deliver food. He surprises her as she attempts to groom her wings. The bandages very thorough but several feathers are very uncomfortable settled and its been driving her nuts.

"I'm pretty sure Marco will be pissed if he saw you messing with the bandages like that."

Nikia freezes, face flushed with embarrassment.

"...my feathers itch. I think I'm molting..."

"Oh! You molt, angel?" Thatch eagerly asks, carrying the tray of food closer. Trying not to laugh at the subtly displeased face she makes.

"Not an angel--please don't start with that. I've had to argue with several Marines about that already." She huffs, carefully picking at the bandages to tug her feathers into better place.

They end up in light conversation about how she handles her feathers.

"So, why are you a marine anyway?" He asks, watching as she gives up and gingerly flops back onto the bed with a pout. "I mean, you clearly don't have a high pain tolerance. Or a burning hatred of pirates."

"Only thing I hate is slavers." She admits softly. "They hit my home a lot when I was young... Mom never came back. Then the Marines found my home and thought it made a good retirement place. I wanted to get away. Or make sure it couldn't happen again... Seemed as good as anything else at the time." She mused softly.

"Oh. I'm so sorry. How old..."

"I was six. And then fourteen when I unofficially joined the Marines." She huffed with a shrug.

"I see... So, what's your favorite food?" He steers the conversation away to something lighter. When Marco does turn up, he's a bit confused about why Thatch is there. Usually someone else in his division does food deliveries. And for a bit, Marco assumes Thatch would be satisfied with one visit, but no. He keeps coming back.

And Izou ends up dropping by, curious about the marine that caught Thatch's attention. Before long, most of the commanders were visiting her, including Whitebeard.

And Nikia just assumes they're all super fucking bored or interested in her wings.

They're almost completely healed when Marco brings up an interesting point.

"... They've grown."

"Huh?" Nikia looks at Marco from her wing, fingers buried in messy feathers.

"Your wings. They've grown several inches."

"... That's weird. Usually my people's wings stop growing in their teens. It's a little late for growth spurts --but that does explain the aching." Nikia mused. "Ugh, another molt--another sign of growth spurts I guess. Can you look over the other side? I swear I feel a few pin feathers growing in..." She curses under her breath, breaking a sheathed feather between her fingers.

Not one to turn down the opportunity to play with such massive, soft feathers, Marco does so.

"... Yep. And a few are growing in darker too."

"... Super weird. Color changes are also not supposed to happen at this stage."

Marco narrows his eyes but says nothing.

He also narrows his eyes at the next Commander Meeting when Thatch brings up their 'prisoners'

"So, are we keeping them or...?"

"You mean her?" Haruta asks dryly with a side eye. Thatch sputters but fails to deny it clearly. Whitebeard chuckling to himself.

"We can hardly keep them forever... Unless they abandon the Marines themselves." Whitebeard points out. Thatch gets a devious look and Izou takes the time to shake his head and sigh.

"Oh, shut up! Like you weren't thinking the same thing!" Thatch grumbles, glaring at Izou.

"Shouldn't be too hard. At least for her. She mostly feels indebted to the Marines because they saved her island from perpetual slave trade threats. And even then, they just did it to make her home a retirement spot." Marco pointed out. "But some offers to help hone her haki would probably be a good opener." He mused.

Thatch immediately sits up.

"I can do that!"

"Haven't you been neglecting haki yourself?"

"It'll be a good reminder!"

"You could at least pretend to not be desperately crushing on the marine, Thatch. In front of your partner, no less... Shameless."

"He! Also wants to try!"

"Well, then we know which divisions she won't be assigned to, don't we?" Someone muttered dryly.

"You better treat her with respect then, son. I won't have you recruit her just to abandon her soon after." Whitebeard warns softly. "She'll be my daughter too, then, and you know the rules." He reminds Thatch and Izou, referring to the long established rules of dating crew members.

Something that was a necessity with a crew this large and so often referring to each other as some version of 'family'.

"Of course, Pops!" Thatch agrees firmly. "Would never dream of it otherwise!"

I imagine the rules is something along the lines of requiring open communication. No seducing only to have a one night stand and never intend to talk again. Total agreement on both sides. No getting in the way of duties. Commanders cannot date their own subordinates. No secret relationships, if you want it casual that's fine, but if something happens it needs to be out in the open so everyone can react accordingly in an emergency. Keep it between yourselves, no sex in the open or around others.

Shit like that.

And Nikia has no idea of the shit storm brewing, still assuming the life of piracy is currently boring as shit. More concerned with how fucking itchy her wings are, just recently freed from bondage and bigger, fluffier than ever.

[toonilumi]

saw them on the toyhouse and i'm genuinely curious whats going on with your cog ocs/pos

cracks knuckles.

I've been meaning to say something about them, but I know people tend to get... overzealous around my characters. I know those people mean well but remember I'm just some guy showing off my toys to the class. So please to all those who are reading this: be nice, be respectful, peace and love ok?

to those who are reading that and going "what happened here?" Don't worry about it! Let's talk about OCs!

guess who was added on last minute

This is The Gang™️. Their lores kind of intertwine but I can't share all of it because some of it involves other people. But I will say what I can! From left to right we got:

THE LIABILITY

(AKA: Libellule LaCroix)

- my favorite. This guy is wanted by C.O.G.S Inc. for trying to expose their toxic business practices. Don't get it twisted though, the toons hate him for crashing their karts and robbing their stores. She doesn't like talking to people.

- Muse moves playgrounds almost daily. He prefers toon clothes so whenever he can, libellule will steal some. She's paranoid all the time which isn't great but it makes quick getaways easier. They're pretty easy to agitate, but not necessarily mean. Not anymore.

- Didn't have a lot of friends besides muse's twin, but has since befriended a certain manager in acorn acres. Yeah. Befriended. No don't look at my discord PFP focus on this. That aside muse has a lot of enemies... like a LOT of them. To the point that Libellule automatically assumes everyone doesn't like them.

- A liability is "a thing for which someone is responsible, especially a debt or financial obligation."

THE RECORDHOLDER

(AKA: Sauterelle LaCroix)

- So his ACTUAL job is keeping track of their department's finances but they really wanna be a singer. Sauterelle totally thinks he'd rock the Sellbot department, but was placed in Cashbot territory for their past in finances.

- An overall nice guy but definitely has an "I'm-better-than-you" aura. Loves attention and gets extremely upset when that isn't given. When it comes to toons that reaches levels of (cartoonish) violence. He's actually kinda stupid though, they get manipulated very easily.

- Was easily clocked as a northerner by the L.A.A so they had tension for a bit but they're friends now. Sauterelle hates both the Major Player and the Pacesetter, mainly due to jealousy and possibly insecurity. Can put it aside for the Major Player, not for the Pacesetter.

- A recordholder is "a professional who manages, maintains, and keeps track of records or information." it is more commonly known as "a person or thing that has achieved something no other person or thing has achieved."

THE BLATHERSKITE

(AKA: Fres Nell)

- Once a stagehand, now works maintenance and occasional advertising for the Sellbot department. Don't worry though he still does plenty of stagehand stuff for his good friend in the Bossbot department. He's a borderline theater kid. Maybe even a full one.

- Possibly the nicest person you will meet in C.O.G.S Inc. He's friendly, selfless, and oh man is he talkative. This man never ever shuts up. Fres is always finding ways to help people, and he doesn't even care if they're toons! What a nice guy. Except for when he's making excuses for his less-than-stellar colleagues. That's not cool.

- Considers himself friends with everyone, but has gotten along with the Mouthpiece since he recently joined her club. He's only mediocre at the craft, but loooooves to chat! It probably drives the Case Manager and the Featherbedder up the wall. Oops.

- A blatherskite is "a person who talks at great length without making much sense."

THE AUTEUR

(AKA: Ciel Apper)

- Sadness, despair, melancholy, all of those emotions are what inspire Ciel. They are a director who works from the heart... turns out their heart is merely a shell of what it once was. Having gone solo for years, Ciel is now looking for a company who can understand and possibly foster new visions for cinema.

- A direct suit, Ciel is usually deadpan and quiet. If they say anything more than a sentence to you, it probably means they like you. They are infamous for their vague directions, which makes working with them as an actor a nightmare. Even more so since they're so stuck in their head.... they can't see the suffering of their actors. Or maybe they can, and just don't care.

- Ciel mostly locks themselves up in their studio. In order to get them to go ANYWHERE you either have to drag them out or threaten them. It's not like anyone tolerates their airheadedness besides Fres though. Despite Ciel being somewhat passive, they do have a restraining order on the Pacesetter.

- An auteur is "a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie."

THE TOP DOG

(AKA: Lukah Updohg)

- You'd think someone with that title would be pretty important, but that's not quite true. Lukah is the sole member of the "Toon-Cog Relations Committee" which works to try and settle the Toon-Cog conflict peacefully. It's not working at all, so the higher-ups just send her paperwork that nobody else wants to do.

- Lukah is reserved, but by no means quiet. She'll fight vehemently for what's right, more than what many would expect out of a pacifist like her. The mediation tactics she uses work wonders on smaller conflicts, but Lukah would rather go for the bigger picture. Her job is not done without the conflict being over for good.

- Many are suspicious of her. After all, why would any cog care about things like "pollution" or "preserving toon humor?" She knows lots of people try to look into her, so she stays far far away from most employees. If she got along with any other suit it would either be the Deep Diver or the C.O.O due to their respect for the environment.

- A top dog is "a person who is successful or dominant in their field."

Anywho! Thank you for expressing interest in them! I hope to eventually have more art of them but most of it is just doodles.... and the occasional self indulgence. Don't worry about it.

Amongst the sea of amazing bts fanfics I keep coming back to Eunoia ever so often. It's truly one of those fics that you never forget about yk. It's amazing how you have created such an immersive world; that the length of Eunoia isn't intimidating, no matter how many times I read it. I am going into indulgent and fangirl territory next so I have a feeling this is gonna be kinda long (sorry for that TvT).

Ok sooooo... Starting with the amazing way you write such a relatable and human y/n. I know you don't always have to write relatable reader inserts since the point of these fics is to be able to experience stories and situations that you might (and prolly won't) irl. I know (us) the ppl reading this fic aren't world class producers who are friends with taylor swift but gosh darn it I feel like it when I am reading eunoia XD . The y/n feels so... human. They have their fears, insecurities, mess ups and they worry and overthink yet they also have their strengths and try their hardest no matter what. Their love hate relationship with their career and burnout, is honestly so refreshing to see becuz no matter if your career is your dream you are going to get tired at some point. OH YEAH AND THEIR COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARENTS! My gosh, it was so good to see someone acknowledge how hard it is to have a relationship with your parents where you don't hate them but you also don't get along because of your massive differences. It feels like you are stuck b/w a rock and a hard place. An argument that will never find it's peace...

Also, I feel like you absolutely nail the members' personality to a T. Ofc, tho you just HAD to give them such TRAGIC backstories ;-; (but yk I get it, the angst is what makes the fluff all the more sweeter). I adore the intricacies of their relationships with each other and also with the reader. All of them mean well but are hesitant to cross any boundaries. I hope we can see them get even closer and develop even stronger bonds so they don't feel like they are burdening each other with their problems and instead rely on each other <3 OK RAPID FIRE ROUND-

Namjoon- so charming, absolutely stole my heart with his rizz, emotional support bby, my anchor in the storm

Jin- absolute SWEETHEART, yes love how did you know the way to my heart was through the stomach, flustered jin is my kryptonite

Yoongi- OOHH gimme that angsty emo boy XD, No but for realisies BBY LEMME GIVE YOU A HUG! it's ok, we're gonna be okay <3 your past doesn't define you!

Hoseok- Sunshine Bby, You are loved, valid and just as important as all of the others, never a burden and always do so much more than you take credit for

Jimin- CLINGY BBY COME HERE & HEAL MY TOUCH STARVED SELF, His backstory made me genuinely sob, don't be afraid love you are safe here <3

Taehyung- ADORABLE LITTLE BABY BEAR, well since we haven't seen much of him I can't say that much but I hope to see more of him and his growth in the upcoming chapters <3 (Also since he is my bias I am even more invested! I am excited to see what direction you take him in :)

Jungkook- Bunny boy come here and tackle me to the ground with a hug >:) He is so cute, he just wants everyone to be happy together ;-; the juxtaposition of a cute bunny who is ripped *chef's kiss*

I feel like eunoia rn is at a midpoint. Things have settled and are not as chaotic but there is still so much to be done! So much to be said, done and so much to heal from. I feel like the story can go in any direction and I am so so curious as to what your vision is for the next chapters (ma'am can we have some crumbs please :> ). Also I was wondering; it was originally marked as smut so if you are still thinking of doing that? (I reallyyyy hope this does not come off as rude I was just genuinely curious; I love the story regardless and it's totally your call).

PHEW, OK THIS IS A LOT! I kinda feel bad for blabbering your ear off but what can I say, this fic is very dear to me.

(pls accept this cute kitty as compensation)

This ask made my day and I'm sorry for taking some time to reply but when I receive such long asks I usually like to think some more before replying. First of all, thank you so much for your words and the fangirling. I live fangirling!!

It is very important to me when writing the main characters in stories to give them their own personalities and make them as human as possible. I don't think it's as fun to write perfect characters or to read about them at that. The mc of Eunoia is very close to my heart because I can see myself in some aspects of her character and I'm happy that's true for other people as well. Relationships with parents can be very hard to navigate and she and her parents have a complicated history. They will never stop being her parents but their differences are so stark and they are nearly strangers by now. She was trying with them for the longest time and she didn't know when to stop trying. Or to stop pretending.

All the hybrids share unique relationships with each other. They might have tragic back stories but they are ones that led them to each other. They have had people crossing their boundaries so many times in the past that they are afraid of doing that to each other. They are all my babies and I adore them.

I was planning to write some light smut for it but I've been rethinking it. I don't have any experience writing smut and in this case the second person is throwing me off. I'll try but I don't know how it will go and if it will fit with the story well.

Thank you for sending this and thank you go the kitty💜 Sending all my love 💜💜💜

[altschmerzes]

this might be getting too far into spoilers territory, but i'm so curious about the wriggle up on dry land equivalent of that scene in 1x10 where ted sees jamie and his dad in the treatment room after the match. because like, i can kind of understand the reasoning behind not intervening or really bringing it up again when jamie's an adult, even if that probably wasn't the best way to handle it, but i can't imagine ted would respond the same way when it's a child in that situation.

the thing about me is that if people wanna know i do not have any qualms at all about posting spoilers for my own fic slkdjfs i am happy to talk about literally whatever people wanna talk about and yes that is!! yes that is QUITE the thing. i'll get into it under a cut in case anyone else happens to care about spoilers ig! but yeah overall you're right i can sorta get what the thought process was from a like, in-universe 'trying to make sense of what went on there' standpoint in canon but it is. very different when it's a 15 year old as opposed to a 23 year old.

this is one of the major changes that had to be made to that episode for the au and specifically changes made to jamie's role in the episode's story. it is still the first time that ted meets james - though it's not actually our first time meeting james in the narrative, because we will actually see him before then in the fic - and it is still a somewhat worrying encounter, but it's far less like... violent. cause like i said while i can. sort of. get my head around ted deciding that it was a better choice for everyone to not get involved in 1x10 on the show (while i do think it was handled weirdly and this is pure extrapolation bc the show literally never addressed that or referenced it again) i can't see him seeing a kid get shoved around and screamed at and have shit thrown at him and not like. doing something about it.

so when this happens in the fic, jamie came to the match with his dad rather than being in it as a player for city (obvs). after the match, he seems like he's going to get a moment to interact with ted alone but before he can, james comes around the corner and interrupts. and is very like... he immediately makes a few jokes at ted's expense, then starts steering jamie away with a hand clamped on his shoulder. he's squeezing pretty hard but ted can't really get a good sense of what's going on, one moment jamie looks like he's got something to say the next he's being pulled away and his dad is kind of. needling him about not being happy that city won. he's actually pretty upset about richmond's relegation, though he's trying to hide it (and not having much success with that). (he still had a hand in what happened with them losing that match and with roy getting taken down, though obviously in a different way lmao.) (it's a little complex and a little 'just go with me on this one' slkdfjs)

so james is giving him shit about being upset, needling him about it in a way that's kind of like. laughing at him but not being overtly aggressive but it's a shitty kind of 'making fun of my kid for being upset' that is obviously bad news. he's being steered around by his shoulder but it's not clear it's painful or anything, just kinda. controlling. so it's overall a sense of this is a deeply unpleasant person who is not very nice to his kid but it's a fast interaction that leaves ted feeling kind of bowled over and there's... it's shitty and worrying but it's not like. Alarming to the level of being able to do anything about it like what happened in canon would be. and then they're gone.

which is when ted does the only thing he can think to do which is quickly run into his office to grab a jacket jamie left behind when he left richmond in the first place, scribble a note that includes his number (just in case), and shove it and the army man in an envelope, tuck it in the pocket, and send beard with it to catch jamie before he leaves.

I feel like if Gwyn and Azriel were to be having sex like that, then Az would ask Gwyn about things she’s curious about and would like to try. Give her a safe word, take his time reading her body language so he knows when she’s almost at her limit, make her feel comfortable enough to voice things she wouldn’t be interested in/make her uncomfortable. He would want her to be vocal about kinks, sex positions and everything else. If there’s something she wouldn’t like, he would give her the courage/make her feel comfortable enough to say a firm ‘no.’ I feel like before they have sex for the first time he would probably ask her questions and take into consideration her trauma. Would you want them to start a friends with benefits kind of thing or start dating and then explore sex? I think it would be interesting for Gwyn to explore her body (for example masturbating) and take back her own sexuality and can figure out what she likes and dislikes. I have different scenarios in my head to Gwynriel relationship. Maybe Azriel lies down on his bed, sitting up with his back against the headboard and has Gwyn lay down, her back on his chest and she starts pleasuring herself and Azriel helps her explore her body. They could sing and dance in the rain together and quietly read together. Maybe Azriel encourages Gwyn to leave the library (but I kinda want her to leave on her own) or when she leaves the library for the first time, he takes her out and shows her Velaris. I want them to start competitive bets with each other and I need teasing banter. And maybe he occasionally braids her hair, soft knuckle kisses and he gifts her a dagger for Starfall or solstice. Az takes Gwyn to Sangravah (if she’s okay with that) and she meets the kids she saved.

Gwyn is such a strong and empowering character and gives a sense of hope and courage to me and hopefully others and it would be nice to see Gwyn love herself. And what you said about acting like survivors across the board never have sex, yes!! I agree! Of course every survivor is different. Some like to have sex and some don’t. It’s different for everyone. Also, I kind of feel like sjm might be more thoughtful when writing Azriel’s book (hopefully) because I’m sure she is aware of the strong following he has.

sjm has fumbled a few things here and there (e.g. fridging Nehemia) but I think that anything related to sex and gender, it's pretty safe to say she'll do okay. It comes with the white feminist territory, ironically :P. And she did a lot of research when writing ToD and Chaol's journey in that book. She mentioned that she talked to people with the Wounded Warrior's Project when writing about Chaol's disability (she said this at the London event I was at in 2017 so idk if it's anywhere else public, if you're looking for a source. It's me, I'm the source.) My point is that I have faith in her doing the work to make their relationship thoughtful and true to their characters and histories.

I think the main issue will be people having very specific ideas in their heads about how it will go, and then if sjm has different ideas, they'll get disappointed that it wasn't 100% the way they would have preferred. But these aren't our characters, no matter much fan art we consume and how much fanfic we write. There is a lot to them that sjm created, that she knows about, that we are unaware of.

I personally don't see the friends with benefits thing with them, definitely friends-to-lovers, but I'm not picky. Yeah I don't really have a big stake in gwynriel happening because it's not my favorite acotar ship, but I'm just excited to see what sjm has planned! I'm along for the ride.

I just saw the oc ask game, sooo what about 8,11 and 40 for all three of the boys!

OUUUH THANK YOU!

Uncommon OC Questions 8.) What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child ?

Vin: Demons (and angels) don't really HAVE childhoods- they just kinda spring fully formed into existence one day- but I'd say he was most frequently scolded for zoning out/daydreaming, and would be told to pay attention/stop fidgeting!

Asphodel: Same as above, they were never necessarily a CHILD, but when they were a newly born angel, I think they got scolded for the childish habit of constantly asking why?. Being an angel is supposed to be about faith and devotion, so their curious streak was seen as questioning authority (eventually, it WAS)

Ves: Undoubtedly to stop bringing in animals from outside. I think he was the type that was constantly trying to rescue cats/dogs/injured birds, and his family did NOT need one more mouth to feed (as they could barely manage what they had) so he'd get scolded for it and told to throw them back out. He, uh, never really did get any better about that, he just collects wayward mafiosi now.

11.) How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

Vin: Blank, head-empty stare. He does spend a SOLID chunk of his existence in a state of mild confusion (things are very strange and incomprehensible for a sheltered demon experiencing the world for the first time) so his tendency is usually to go "Huh! I have NO IDEA what that means!" [proceeds about his day unbothered]

Asphodel: Obsessive research. The moment they don't understand something they start digging into any sources they can find, hoping to assemble an answer, and this usually leads to a LOT of research, often hunting through multiple sources to try and find the most reliable. Which is a bit troublesome when it comes to more abstract, less easily researched things like feelings, opinions, personal decisions etc. Whoops....

Ves: He's the type to press someone for info- it can accidentally veer into "interrogation" territory if he's too wound up about something, but he's one to ask questions and to insist on someone explaining themselves, giving him satisfactory answers.

40.) How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

Vin: Absolutely unaware they exist in the slightest. Completely unbothered, assumes he is perfect and cute and likeable and there's nothing wrong with him ever so anyone who is being mean to him is just being rude smh. When he DOES make mistakes, he tends to see it as an unfortunate one-time thing- like "oh, I messed up, but whatever, I'll get it right next time." Pretty unflappable in his self-esteem.

Asphodel: Simultaneously deeply aware of SOME of their flaws, and completely insistent that others don't exist. Aware they're high-strung and unsociable, and sensitive about it- easily embarassed when they feel they've overreacted or been too emotional in a situation where they'd have liked to be 'logical'- but also insists they don't have a superiority complex and they ABSOLUTELY don't look down on others because they hold everyone to the same unattainable standards they hold themself to (they do, and they do)

Ves: Generally views himself as a flawed mess of a man trying his best; he's pretty remorseful about a LOT of things in his life, and he's equal parts "it's not too late for me to change" and "i'm a bullheaded old man and you can't teach an old dog new tricks." There are certain things he absolutely refuses to budge on, and others that he realizes are flaws and always tries to correct himself/catch himself in; he's generally of the opinion most people are kind of a mess in one way or another, so he's not necessarily harsh on himself or his flaws as he's also pretty tolerant of them in others, as he can be forgiving to a fault sometimes.

[radellama]

Abe and Orc- dream

Harland- danger, fire, fake !

ABE AND ORC

dream: does your OC have a driving dream or goal? what is it? how far would they go to achieve it?

Abe:

Abe doesn't have any goals for a career or a dream per se, but he does wish to complete physical transition so he's more comfortable as a man. He's not very good at vocalising his wants and such, unless it's in a very pragmatic way that can be justified. (ie; he agrees to teach Orc how to hunt, because then he can help him hunt a particular deer he can't hunt on his own... he needs the ingredients to make hrt potion first and foremost, but hunting something so big will make dinner easier for a while so orc should totally help hunt the deer)

He DOES like to support other people's dreams, and he does work hard in general - but cause he's very jaded, he tends to do extra work to try disguise and create excuses for things he wants to do without necessarily realising. He ends up co-opting orcs goal of travelling, but will often make up convincing arguments for why they have to do this or that, even when he doesn't need to.

He just needs some time to figure out what he wants and how to vocalise it. He does go pretty far to do what he needs to because he's stubborn and determined, but it's often difficult to figure out what exactly he's digging his heels in about lol

Orc:

Orc's goal is the reason why this story exists. He wants to travel outside his village and return with honour. He doesn't really know what his honour will be, but he didn't feel like he'd earnt his honour in his village, and he was struggling with family dynamics at home and generally feeling very lost in life. He goes as far as running away without telling anyone, and wandering all the way down into the forest where he comes across Abe. And that a pretty big deal, considering the Orc village has been a closed society up in the mountains for centuries, AND Orc wasn't very adept at hunting or fighting, so it was actually quite dangerous for him to leave so abruptly with minimal planning.

He ultimately just wants to learn, as he's very curious and bookish by nature. It gets to a point where -after getting a bit closer with Abe in the forest- Abe is kinda sick of trying to explain everything to Orc and decides that they should travel to the developed side of the continent where Abe comes from so he can experience everything. Orc LOVES it, and works hard with Abe while they travel so they have the time for him to be curious without restraint. As he's more laid back than Abe, he's not too fussed about the exact type of honour he's searching for, and just takes notes in a journal of everything he learns so that he can figure out what was honourable later - it's more about the journey for him anyway.

~~~

HARLAND

danger: what’s one thing that makes your OC angry? what’s their temper like? how do they respond to people who make them mad?

Harland gets frustrated very easily, but it takes a bit to make him genuinely angry. He's the kind of person to get those angry tears that make your voice waver when you don't want it to, and can get overwhelmed easily by his anger.

He gets the most angry at the war, mostly the concept of people killing each other over something he doesn't understand. Like, yes, territory and xenophobia are the root of this war, and harland knows that, he just doesn't understand WHY that should lead to the deaths of thousands on either side.

Things related to the war can easily trigger him into an emotionally charged anger- he dropped out of high school early because he was angry that the only thing to look forward to after graduating was becoming a soldier. He was also incredibly angry at his uncle leaving to enlist, so much so that his last conversation with his uncle was an argument.

Later in the story, he does get angry with Magus and the generals for a variety of reasons. He usually retreats into himself and stews over the things that make him angry, at times even being a bit petty and passive aggressive when he's really worked up, or tries to argue with words, as he sucks at fighting- BUT once he gets a bit better with fighting and has become jaded enough to loosen his principals, he can be more prone to physical arguments to help drive his point home.

fire: what’s one thing they’d destroy if they could, and why? would that destruction bring them any satisfaction or catharsis?

At the start of the story, he'd say he wants to destroy the war. But later in the story, the thing he wants to destroy most are his notes and research.

Ending the war is a simple but naive goal, and there's no catharsis in ending something that's already ended the lives of thousands for him. He just wants the satisfaction in knowing that it'll be over.

Destroying his notes, however, has a warped catharsis for him. It'll get to a point where his notes have contributed to the war and led to the deaths of thousands. He feels betrayed by the people he trusted, and betrayed by his own good intentions. He's the one who wrote them all with the intention to heal, and if they're only going to be used to harm, he wants to be the one to take away everything he wrote.

fake: has your OC ever been lied to? what was the lie? how has it affected them?

Harland has been lied to a lot, it's easy to take advantage of how trusting and naive he is. The hard thing about the lies he's been told, is that he doesn't always get the clarity that they were lies. He just has to figure it out when the truth conflicts with his perceptions.

The biggest truth to call into question is regarding his relationship with Magus - was it genuine, or was he using Harland? Did he care, or was Harland just that easy to manipulate?

The lies he lives with on the mystic side are what lead to him becoming jaded and depressed, eventually becoming a shell of his former self. Even when he is able to rebuild himself towards the end of the story, he's not sure if he can ever trust anything as genuinely as he once did, and becomes a lot more cynical as a result. For better or worse, he's a lot more guarded and keeps his intentions and feelings close to his chest, as opposed to on his sleeve like he used to.

Send asks for my ocs from here

[doyouknowhowtowaltz]

Can I have your opinion on a small headconon I had for the beast for a while?

For the longest time I had a thought that Lorna’s mother/birth parents where made into elder oil and burned in the lantern. I also like the idea that everyone that burns in the lantern Is kinda part of the beast/he can hear them and they can have a small influence on him if he allows it. So the thought that Lorna’s mother is kinda looking through the beasts eyes and watching Lorna’s grow and the beast actually kinda listens to her voice when it comes to Lorna. Personally I like the idea for a scene where Lorna laments to the beast that she never knew her birth parents and that she was curious about her mother and the beast is able to give her the opportunity to communicate with her to some small degree or at least tell her things about her because he has access to the memory’s of everyone in the lantern, including her mother/parents.

This is sweet!

I've added a break, because it occurs to me that I've veered into disturbing territory.

I would assume Lorna's mother died shortly after giving birth, which lends itself to an interesting idea of the Beast playing midwife to a dying witch, her reasoning that he'll take her regardless, but if the child is born perhaps one day they can grow into something he can plant.

It would have to be a desperate time for the Beast to consume Lorna's mother's tree during Lorna's life time, I figure he usually prefers to leave trees to ferment, but it could be he only helped deliver the child because he was entering a stretch of lean years and can't afford any degree of wastefulness.

It's interesting to think of the remains of people who join the Beast's... ahem congregation as whole people. While I usually think of them as being somewhat conscious, I've always thought of them as unwhole things, reduced into shells of themselves, hungry, scared, hopeless, screaming, perhaps they recognize faintly and react to things that tied them strongly. Their strength in reaching him, swaying him, only comes from the fact that they scream together, like a flock, a legion, they loose their individualism. The idea of the Beast being able to reach into their past's with perfect clarity is... chilling in the implications it has for his hunting.

I would be fascinated to know how you think the Beast's relationship with Lorna is colored. Is it the echoes of her parentage that draws him protectively around her? Or is it their shared hunger, and he only dredges up her mother's soul from the depths of himself because he's already grown fond of young Lorna.

Either way it's a very cute idea, and it's a delightful way to show what a soft spot the Beast has for Lorna, the idea of him trying to fill the maternal role that he's also (partially) responsible for ripping away.

[daeva-agas]

I am playing Sakuya route in SLBP (mostly for the reward) and I wonder, where Nobunaga hatred toward ninjas comes from? This is like the 3rd game where he shows his disdain towards them. Can you explain why? Because I'm curious.

Oh no, it's that thing again.

Remind me what are the other ones. Is it Ninja Love? Nightshade? Non-otome games?

Anyway, this is a huge rant and IDK, could clog up people's dash so I will put it behind a cut.

I probably shouldn't say these about Japanese people writing about their own history and legends, but I hate this stupid "Nobunaga hates ninjas" trope, so my very grumpy answer is:

BECAUSE STUFFY CORPORATE SUITS ARE SO TERRIFIED OF CHANGE AND CAN'T BE ASSED TO TRY NEW THINGS. IF BULLSHIT TROPES STILL MAKE MONEY, THEN BY GOD THEY WILL KEEP MAKING IT UNTIL JESUS RETURNS.

And I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that they're doing this because "it's a trope that people seems to like", and not because they're just running off "I saw it in an anime/manga/novel/movie once" and never bother to Yahoo search it or open a book about it.

(I'm not all that mad anymore, but like, I will still go AAAAAAAAAAA every time it comes up)

"Nobunaga hates ninja" is a long-standing trope that's been around for decades in Japan. The oldest one I was able to find is this movie series called "Shinobi no Mono". Maybe there's something older, I don't know.

It's a historical fact that the Oda did invade Iga. However, there is so many context for it. Among many other things... one record says it's actually the people of Iga who sicced Nobunaga ON THE PROVINCE THEMSELVES.

It ended up being transformed into a "Nobunaga hates ninja" plotline because the above historical fact is being combined with the long-standing legend that "Iga is a place where ninjas live".

Also, in the 60s and 70s there’s this like... movement where people are really disgruntled at the government, and so because they can’t flat out write works about how much they hate the Japanese government of the time, they just write stuff about peasant heroes or vigilantes fighting against evil samurai lords as a way to vent their frustrations. Nobunaga being one of the easiest character to caricaturise because it’s not like the “evil stuff” they make him do is entirely wrong. The facts are just taken out of context and twisted for the sake of fiction. Evil/demonic/horrible Nobunaga as a trope in general seems to be relatively new from this era too, since Edo and Meiji works seems to present Nobunaga is an admirable heroic figure.

(well, they wrote about him doing kinda mean things, but it’s presented in a way that makes it sound like the writers think it’s “something that just happens” and not a big deal/not an entirely negative thing)

In real life there is no such thing as "sekrit ninjer village uwu", so honestly, if the above account is true, then it's possible that there's in-fighting among the people of Iga. It's what happens with the Saika people. Suzuki (Saika) Magoichi surrendered to Nobunaga and then some time later makes a request for the Oda army to come in and destroy this one guy he really hates.

If the story about the Iga folks inviting Nobunaga in themselves is actually false, I’ve not seen any other explanation for it yet, but I still think Nobunaga invading Iga is just business as usual. At the time of the Iga invasion, the surrounding provinces are already conquered, leaving Iga as this one tiny hole in the middle of what is technically "Oda territory". Maybe Nobunaga thinks this hostile province could cause problems in the surrounding regions, so he wants them gone. It's no different than, say, Nobunaga fighting a war against the Takeda and conquering them.

It's not even Nobunaga in command of the army (as far as reliable records go), so any depiction of Nobunaga personally leading his army into Iga is garbage. He sent one of his sons and a few generals to go off and fight, while he himself only comes in for inspection after everything's cleaned up.

The standard reasoning in bullshit Sengoku trope/fiction is that Nobu just doesn't trust woo woo shit, and only wants to do things the "legit" way (with soldiers and stuff). Ninja is considered woo woo because of their “secret arts”, and because they’re usually depicted as having no lords/masters but themselves, I guess he is wary of them rebelling against him or something.

Funny thing is, even if you actually buy into the ninjas thing, supposedly even the “guidebook of ninjas”, the Bansenshukai, says that the Oda has ninjas, so “Nobunaga hates ninjas” is just silly all around. Bansenshukai is this book supposedly detailing ninja clans and secret techniques and whatever, written in the 1600s, by one of the Fujibayashi descendants (IDK Sakuya’s grandkids I guess)

Could you rank on a scale of 1 to 10 and describe how well each JJK guy handles an S/O who has a really high sex drive?

Specifically say they had an s/o who seemed quiet and was inexperienced but after they did it for the first time it was like awakening the kraken, and they ended up displaying nympho tendencies. Idk why but that’s a funny scenario to me lmfao.

𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: Before we start, I won’t be adding characters like Yuuji, Megumi, Inumaki, and other JJK male students who are still minors, canon-wise.

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦: Gojo, Geto, Nanami, Toji, Naoya, Choso

𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: Smut. NOT SUITABLE FOR MINOR READERS.

𝗚𝗢𝗝𝗢 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗨

Who are we kidding? He’d have a higher sex drive than his S/O.

Usually, he doesn’t mind for sex but ever since you two dated and did it that one time he could barely keep his hands off you.

Knowing you felt the same was also a huge bonus. He’d ask to do it whenever he was in the mood and when you’d have the chance. Whether on lunch breaks and day-offs.

In his mind, you were just so beautiful and delicate and Gojo has a sadistic side to him. In his mind, he wanted to spoil you yet at the same time, ruin you and have you at his mercy.

He has a habit of using his blindhold on you when doing sensory play. He loves the idea of you not seeing anything and just relying on your sense of hearing to anticipate what he plans to do with you. It’s thrilling.

You two did it in his car once. Shoko saw but pretends she didn’t see shit. Just shocked that someone as prim and proper as you was just as horny as Gojo. Or maybe he created that alter ego of yours.

Very open to discuss kinks with you should you ever get curious of trying something out.

He kinda sucks at after care though because he gets lazy and easily distracted. He watches baking videos on YouTube after he creampies you.

In all honesty, even if your libido increased after doing it with him, you could never top Gojo’s horniness. He’s a fucking menace and you could hardly keep up.

He will actually fuck you until you beg him to stop. But sometimes seeing you begging gets him even more riled up.

7/10, he needs to improve his aftercare skills after wearing you out.

𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗨

Honestly, he’s both annoyed and impressed at how your demeanor turns a 180 degree turn when it comes to sex.

You were just a 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙮 ( non–shaman ) he took notice of because of your pretty looks and seemingly influential family but after doing it with you once because he needed to catch a break, he realized that only opened doors for him.

You two aren’t really dating but it’s moreso Suguru being territorial of you. He hates the idea of dating a non–shaman but what he hates more is the idea of another person trying to steal you away from him, non–sorcerer or not.

Sure, it was nice that he could let off some steam when his plans go array by burying his cock inside of you but it sometimes gets annoying. He had no idea how high your sex drive got after doing it with you the first time.

Sometimes you would visit him out of the blue while he’s in the middle of an important matter and because what? You wanted dick? Pathetic, he thought.

Sometimes he would spoil you with good sex just to tame you but often times he’d turn you down because he doesn’t have time for nonsense. Which somehow made you want him more, oddly enough.

He’d get disgusted knowing he’s doing it with a lowlife non–sorcerer. And that he was giving you special treatment much to his own dismay. He never did anything to get rid of you though.

Unbeknownst to Geto, he actually began to get just a tad bit softer. He began to indulge you with kisses, called you sweet pet names and exposed how needy he actually was through a series of his moans.

Though he’d act as if your nymphomaniac tendencies bothered him, in the end he’d only give you what you craved as much as he hates to admit it.

Sucks ASS at after care. Often times he would tell you to leave after the deed is done. Having sex and spoiling you with sex was one thing. But providing emotional support with some TLC was another. He just wasn’t that type of man. At least not anymore.

However, if you’re too worn out then 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 he’d have pity and take care of you. He’d always do this after you knock out though. He hates the idea of letting you see him doting on you. He didn’t want you, a mere monkey, getting ideas that you were special to him.

Even though some of his subordinates already thought you were. Considering their leader already indulged you in your sexual needs more than once.

Overall, this mf is a whole 4/10.

𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗜 𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗢

GENTLEMAN IN THE STREETS BUT A WHOLE DADDY SIR IN THE SHEETS.

You can never go wrong with this man and I mean NEVER. Don’t mistake his seemingly strict and docile demeanor. It’s a whole different story during sex.

The first time you two did it, he was honestly nervous because he didn’t wanna hurt you much less leave a bad impression. It’s been a while since he had sex as well.

Truthfully, he is very surprised at the sudden skyrocket of your sex drive. He never thought he’d see this side of you that’s bold and daring. After doing it with him that one time, it’s often you that initiates the next time you two have sex.

Nanami could hardly keep up.

But don’t worry. The truth is, Nanami spoils you a lot and you don’t know if he’s aware of that or not. Even if he acts like it’s a nuisance, the truth is that he wants you as much as you want him.

It’s hard to say no to you. You’re honestly irresistable. So he has no problem giving you just what you want after batting your eyelashes at him.

Unless he’s busy and duty calls, then he unfortunately has to make you and himself wait until he’s home to ravish you.

A giver more than a receiver. He loves, loves, LOOOOVES making you cum first and then making you cum a dozen times after until you cry.

Secretly has dacryphilia. Seeing you cry due to immense pleasure riles him up.

Doesn’t like doing it in public though. For him, it’s a bit too risky considering the outside is infested with curses and all that.

Awakened his habit of using his neck ties to tie you up against the bed.

Surprisingly open to discuss kinks with you. He’s also a bit shocked that you’re so risque considering how quiet and shy you seem on a normal, day-to-day basis.

A MASTER WITH AFTER CARE. He makes sure that you’re well taken care of after a good ol’ fucking. He would hold you close if you’re sleepy and tend to your marks and body if he went overboard.

A solid 10/10.

𝗙𝗨𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗢 𝗧𝗢𝗝𝗜

He doesn’t care. This man just goes with the flow but honestly is a bit fucking cocky.

He already knew you’d want more than what he’d given you the night before. He had his fair share of short-lived affairs from his missions. He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.

Lucky you that you’re the only one he’s using those skills on now.

Knowing that you’re innocent persona took a 180 degree turn after he fucked you good that night boosts his fucking ego. He LOVES knowing that his person wants him this much. It truly is a sight to see whenever you willingly kneel in front of him, face nuzzling against the bulge of his pants.

However, Toji is a busy man. So it's not everyday that he’s home and giving you the attention you crave.

Which is why phone sex often occurs for the both of you. It’s astonishing how you leveled up from a meek little sorcerer he was supposed to kill to a sex–craving S/O that sends him nudes every now and then.

Knowing he’s the reason you blossomed into this side of yours truly puts a smile on his face. Which is why he would never fail to breed you once he’s home.

But sex wasn’t always on the table when he gets home though. There are times he would turn you down because he’s too tired from a mission or too deadbeat from losing on another gambling match.

Always gets surprised when you intiate to try out a new kink. But that's only because he could not believe how lewd you've gotten compared to when he first met you. It was one hell of a change.

You are also absolutely forbidden from touching yourself when he’s away. He hates the idea of you getting off on something else rather than his cock.

Toji is also not that good with after care at first. After sex, he would immediately turn his back to you and then knock out. He wasn’t really the most affectionate man out there due to his upbringing.

But after stumbling upon an article in a magazine of how important it is for couples to receive after care from one another, Toji gradually began to care for you after every fuck session. Thinking of how emotionally vulnerable you are made him slightly guilty that he often passes out after you drained his cum.

Again, it’s not the typical after care one would normally receive but it’s Toji’s own way of showing you that he’s there and he’s willing to care for you after greedily ravishing you moments ago.

Overall, he’s a 8/10

𝗡𝗔𝗢𝗬𝗔 𝗭𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡

He’s sadistic. He relishes the feeling of someone who’s obviously below his status, want him so much. So much for acting like you’re some proper bitch who should be treated equally.

He’s fully aware of what he had done to you. Of what buttons he pushed to make you the way you are right now; needy as fuck. And seeing you so desperate like this—sex drive off the roof, so desperate to have him scratch that itch inside of you, makes him want to torture you.

He forbids you from touching yourself. But he doesn’t indulge you either. He just watches you squirm and do your best to distract yourself from the throbbing ache between your legs.

Naoya knows your mind wanders back to the night he ruined you—fucked you dumb until you’re a drooling mess and covered in his cum. Looking moreso like a cumdump rather than a spouse that was promised to him.

To think that one night turned you into the slut you are today. All that feisty personality of denying him faded away just because you got some good fucking.

If Naoya deemed you worthy enough, he’d be kind enough to let you grind on his thigh or maybe he’d let you ride his fingers.

If he’s pent up himself then you’ll be a good little spouse and take everything he’ll give you.

Naoya is more of a receiver than a giver. Since he’s the man and the future heir of the Zenin clan, it’s only right that he’s the one being served rather than the other way around.

Your amplified libido, as much as it amuses him, is such a HUGE nuisance.

Hates giving after care. He laughs at the thought of you actually needing it. What’s there to care for? Isn’t it your job to please him? So what if you’re worn out? If you’re emotionally vulnerable after every session?

You brought that on yourself. If only you weren’t such a little 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐄.

Unfortunately, you still craved the way he makes you cum your brains out. Even if that meant that he would jump to the next pretty thing he lays his eyes on.

Oh yeah, you may be his spouse but Naoya isn’t really the most faithful husband.

2/10, he’s a fucking bitch.

𝗞𝗔𝗠𝗢 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗢

Please take it easy on him. He’s a soft boy.

You were actually his first. Whereas he was your first after not having sex in a long while. Choso had too many things to take care of instead of entertaining himself with a S/O and sex.

Yet here you were in all your glory. Immediately had him enamoured with you. And you were the same even though you two started off as enemies since you were a sorcerer.

Choso was appalled once he realized how high your sex drive actually was. He had no idea what to do. Sure, it was fun—sex with you is fucking amazing! But he was somehow overwhelmed. You took his virginity after all.

But Choso is still a man. Despite his bashful responses to your advances, he’d only end up agreeing because God, he wanted to feel your mouth on his cock again.

You were surprised that he’s more of a submissive top. He didn’t mind taking charge as long as you told him what to do.

Choso absolutely adores making you cum so he tries to do it every chance he gets. Long story short, he has no problem trying to satisfy you and handling your strong libido.

It was his fault for making you feel so good that you turned into a sex–crazed little minx for him.

Is actually pretty fucking kinky. He likes it messy and sloppy. Seeing you covered in spit and cum makes him so hard.

Aftercare is a must. Or so he told you. Ever since you two started having a pretty active sex life, he’s done some research and stumbled upon how aftercare is very vital in a couple’s sex life.

Though shy at first, he tries his best to make you feel better after he went overboard and surprisingly, you are doing the same thing for him considering you felt bad that you always wanted to jump him every chance you get.

However, since he’s new to this, there are times he gets so shy he would burst out saying how shamelessly lewd you are.

Overall, a 9/10.

𝗔/𝗡: thank you for the submission! i hope this one was okay! feel free to drop more submissions, i’ll be happy to write them!

i’m open to receive submissions from AOT, JJK, Demon Slayer, and Tokyo Revengers!

The mercs with a new merc that ends up being like everyone's little brother? As a headcanon?

I wasn’t 100% sure how you meant this, but I interrupted it as someone joining the team that everyone ends up regarding emotionally as a little bro, rather than literally being their sibling.

Scout

He finally gets to be the older brother for once! Being the youngest of eight and the youngest (previously) on the team, he is so tired of being the baby. Finally he has someone who looks up to him for a change! At least, he really hopes the new guy looks up to him. Scout genuinely wants to be the kind of role model he wishes he had growing up. He's not particularly great at being a role model, but he does his best and ends up acting a little more mature, to everyone’s surprise. Scout’s just glad to have someone to hang out with who isn’t in their 40’s, and ends up calling the guy fun nicknames like “sidekick” and “Sport,” stuff like that. Scout is very protective of him, and a little territorial when it comes to being his new honorary bro’s favorite. Scout gives him lots of (questionable) advice, and truly treats him like the younger brother he never had.

Soldier

At first, Soldier is just as tough on the new kid as he is one everyone, in fact maybe more so because he has yet to prove himself. But eventually, Soldier ends up forming a soft spot for him. He still comes off as very lecture-y towards him, always telling him what to do and trying to get him involved with whatever crazy scheme he and Demo are planning, but it comes from a place of warmth. Soldier see’s a lot of potential in the young man, and sort of takes it upon himself to nurture that potential. He doesn’t say it outright, but Soldier is very proud of him. Likes to think that if he’d had a sibling, he’d want them to be like the new merc.

Pyro

Wants to involve him in EVERYTHING. They love having someone in their life that they genuinely feel close to, and they end up spending a lot of time with the new guy. They love causing mischief together, and end up sharing a mutual sort of respect and understanding that Pyro has a hard time finding in most people. They are very protective if they sense the merc is out of his depth in something, which is a bit of a rare trait for Pyro.

Engie

He pretends to simply enjoy the company, but secretly he absolutely loves having the new guy around. Engie will gleefully teach him how to anything he is willing to learn, and watching the young man succeed is the highlight of Engie’s goddamn day. He is a good listener so he doesn’t mind if the guy is talkative, but he also likes having someone he can rant to about his geeky engineering stuff. Engie can be a bit of a pessimist if left alone in his shop for too long, and having someone young and curious around brightens his mood right up.

Heavy

Eldest sibling syndrome runs deep through this man, and though he doesn’t ever admit it, it doesn’t take long for that to extend to the new merc as well. Heavy shows he cares by being a bit of a nag honestly, telling him off or pointing out things he should improve upon, but it all comes from a genuine concern for his well being. Heavy is extremely protective, but he actively tries to fight that urge because he knows the new guy needs to be able to hold his own.

Demo

At first, Demo is just as amicable as he is with everyone, but then he learns that the new merc looks up to him, and it makes him kinda nervous. Demo doesn’t think of himself as a great role model, but he tries his best to be there for the guy in any way he can. He can be someone fun to hang out with or someone safe to go to in an emergency, whatever is needed. Demo ends up thinking very highly of the new merc, and is a little taken aback and very proud of the fact that the young man thinks the same of him.

Medic

Medic never had any siblings and is not particularly personable, so it surprises him when he finds himself opening up a little bit to the the new merc. The guy hangs around the med bay and Medic allows him do so, even when he would usually shoo someone else out. They end up talking a lot, and the doctor starts looking forward to it. He usually isn’t too invested in other people lives, but it really makes him happy to see the new guy succeed. Medic doesn’t really understand their connection, but he values it anyway and finds himself wanting the new merc to see him in a good light. He will go as far as to actively try to better himself to achieve this, which says a lot.

Sniper

Honestly, it just makes him happy to have another younger person around. He feels old often, and he likes having a reminder that he really isn’t that ancient. He has a lot of fun with the new guy, teases him endlessly, and loves having someone he can share a good laugh with. He tries not to be too sappy about it, but makes sure the guy knows that Sniper cares and will always be a someone person to go to if there’s trouble.

Spy

Once he decides that he actually doesn’t despise him as a human being, Spy keeps an eye on the new merc from a careful distance. He pretends to be aloof, but is considerably less harsh towards him than the others. If the young man actively seeks him out for help, Spy will offer it freely and secretly be very glad he asked. He pretends their relationship is no more than surface level, but will go out of his way for the guy in ways he wouldn’t for other people. Spy has very little experience in considering other people as family, so it would be difficult for him to think of the merc as his brother, but he cares from a distance in his own quiet way, and it’s enough.

"Simple.. I'll make you my Aphrodite..~"

Demon Tanjiro x Fem! Reader.

➽───────────────❥

Sypnosis ♡ 〃⌇ ~ You're out picking berries as usual, when you hear a wounded groaning in the darkness of a steep side cliff. You notice piercing eyes on you, calling you over. You drop your basket, and walk over to a bleeding demon.. Seeing that it's starting to faint. It's against oath to bring a demon into your sworn house, but you feel needed.. What will you do?

Warnings! ♡ 〃⌇~ NSFW, Angst-ish. Demon Tanjiro. Blood. Yelling. Murder. Degrading, pet names such as "Aphrodite" or "Good girl". Mentions of killing, and murders. Corruption kink. Breeding. Curious Tanjiro.. (Underwear stealing) . Whimsmical smut. Pregnancy.

Word count ! ~ 3.2k!

You didn't know it would feel so good to be bad. You wanted to feel more of the wickedness course through you like your own blood. You loved the feeling. And you weren't going back.

For him, it felt so good to corrupt such a good girl. His seed, claiming and wondering where it wants, filling you with his territory. He enjoyed it. So much. So much that he didn't want to go back. You were a human. Now his human. Now, and forever.

It was still on the brink of day-break before the sun came up. You could hear the wind whistle through the trees, echoing across every trunk, and branch. You slid your shoes on, alerting your parents and grandparents that you were heading out for your daily search. Since you were a little girl, you would go and pick berries near the steep hill undersides where they grew. It was a strange place, but the berries were always there. You finally reached the spot you had noticed the day before, hearing and eery groaning inching closer with every step you took.

You crept closer, spotting piercing burgundy-reddish eyes, staring at you from the dark steep-ness. The eyes looked weak. And the scent of blood lingered. You went closer, and the creature softly growled, still adapting to your scent. You bent down, coming in eye contact with the creature. His fangs were stained, and his nails sharp as blades. You put your hand on top of the creature's forehead, revealing to your warm hand that it was shivering. You held the hand softly, leaning in closer to the figure.

This figure had been handsome. Red hair with burgundy tips, soft but also firm skin that combed his flesh nicely. He just looked a little lost. You examined the marks on his body, trying not to stare. Back at home, you had herbs, and all the right kinds of medicine. But it was against any way, shape or form. To bring a demon of any sort into your home with your family.

It'll only be for a few days. Then I'll release him. You thought, reaching your other hand out towards the creature. He grabbed it, hissing at the sting of the beaming sunlight inflicting on his arm. He jerked his hand back into the darkness, tempting to nip at you. Right, demons couldn't go in sunlight. You wrapped the blanket you had in the basket around him, making him inch under you closer. The demon wrapped around your waist, making you yelp a little from his tight grasp.

You pat his head, getting up slowly. You noticed he shrunked to fit in the size of the blanket. He was Carry size. But you had to be carful, he was still wild. Only calm for a second, before tumbling and struggling in the blanket. Panicking, you put the wild sheet in the basket, then it finally held still, and calmed down.

You reached you and your family's shared shrine with the shuffling basket. Shhh.. We're almost there. Quiet a little more time.

You told him, Sneaking to your part of the shrine. Finally reaching it, you hurried your door shut, and slipping off your slides. The boy crawls out of the basket, running into the corner. You grab the basket, throwing it to the side.

You give Tanjiro a side look, and walk to your bathroom, searching for the correct herbs and such to help him. Tanjiro looks at you walking away, and huffs. For a stinging reason, he didn't want you to walk away from him. When he hears cluttering, he barely follows, stumbling over. You notice, and just decide to slide the things over, and dress his wounds.

He winces and hisses at the burning from the herbs, and stitches. He clasps his fist, wanting to bang it, so you give him your hand to hold. He squeezes it at first, but realizes how soft and warm it feels. He calms his arms, refraining from moving around so much. "Do you have a name?" You asked him, going a bit slower. He gulped. It looked as if he was trying to answer, but was struggling. You did a method around his throat to help him talk, and his breathing got better.

"T..Tanjiro Ka..mado." He tells you, with a kinda scratchy but calm voice. "Why.. human?" He asks, looking over at you. You gave him a warm smile, and tried to think of a response. "Well.. It's always nice to help someone. If someone you were worried about was lying down hurt.. Wouldn't you strike for help? Everyone deserves some type of care." You told him. "I didn't think it would be right for you to die under a rock like that, wouldn't you agree? You at least need a proper death. Not a sided one, Mr Kamado."

His eyes widened at you slowly, taking in your gentle feature. He made sure to memorize every thing he liked.. Mostly everything. Your soft gentle looking lips, your cute cheeks.. Your breathtaking eye-color that he wanted to stare into for the hundreds of years he had left. No. She's a human. You're the demon heir, with a new-coming wife at your side in day's time. "I must leave.. There's a place I have to be.."

You gave him a look. If this place involved him ending up under another rock, he was going to die for sure. He attempted to sit up, but you looked him in the eye, with a look that said.. Lye down, Now. Tanjiro hesistated before attempting to get up again, when you gave him a smile that broke his pride. "Lay down, Tanjiro Kamado." You ordered him, making him lay back down.

Tanjiro blushed, looking away. He found your firmness quite charming. He could admit.. He liked a woman with her own sense, and her own will. Not a sheered sacrified daughter from an heired demonic kingdom. You smiled at him, at pat his head, making his pride flutter about even more. He hated the fact he enjoyed such company of a human. How he wanted you to humor him more. But he loved it.. questioning why a human's company is so much more delight then a demon's.

You walked away, leaving Tanjiro bored. He felt the need to call you, but he thought him begging for a human's attention was horrendous. If anything.. you were to beg for him. You slipped your slides back on, getting ready to leave out. Tanjiro looked your way, and was a little shocked. "Where are you seeking out to, Human?" He asked, sitting all the way up.

"Hm.. it's Y/n, Mister Charming. And where I go, you don't follow. I trust that you will stay here, right helpless little demon?~" You teased, giggling at him. He blushed, watching how your body manuevered. "I'm not helpless.. Miss Aphrodite." He blushed looking away. "Who? Mister Charming?" You asked, getting ready to leave out.

"A supported demoness." He gave you an answer. You stuck your tongue out a little, and mouthed Gross to Tanjiro. He wanted to smirk, and say "You're better looking and acting than any demon girl down there, Y/n." You were halfway out of the door, when you paused and said.. "I'll never be an Aphrodite, mister charming." He gave you a laugh. "Whatever you say, Miss Good girl. Now.. I suppose I can take a cleanse, can't I?" You nod at him finally closing the door.

You open the door, sitting the baskets on the floor. When you flick your lantern, a naked Tanjiro appeared, rotating his toned arm back and forth. You flushed, dropping the clothes you bought for him on the floor. "Is that for me? Why thank you, Miss Deity. I'd perfer if you'd hand them to me in person.. Than to drop them on the floor, no?"

You blushed, picking up the clothes hurrily, then shove the clothes in his arms. "Thank you, Lovely." He told you, leaning in closer. You nod him and okay, and run to another room until he's finished. "I'm finished now, Miss Diety." He calls you back, tying his Kimono. You walk back in, nervous. His toned and slightly wet body parts still flashing in your mind, causing you to blush. He really was charming.. you thought to yourself, trying not to seem suspicious. You changed your clothes, sighing and going back into the room

Tanjiro went back into the bathroom, then came out to you laying down."Hey, Miss Y/n." He called you, holding something in his hand. "These are very.. Lacy, No?" He said, holding up your black and laced underwear. You rushed over to him, and snatched them out of his hand. He replied with a "What? You left them out. And they felt warm.. Wait-" He started to cackle. "Were those the same ones you were wearing when you walked in on me? Ooh? Did someone get the hot thoughts..?~ That isn't very good of you.. Miss Aphrodite!~"

You flushed, and pushed him away. "No.. I didn't. And I told you.. I'm not your Aphrodite." You shot back, rolling your eyes. He gripped your arm, stopping you from running away. "Simple.. I'll make you my Aphrodite..~" He smirked, pulling you against the wall. "I'll breed you real nice!~" He laughed, moving your kimono up your legs. You whined at his hands moving up your thighs slowly. "Is it wrong that I'm doing this with a human? About to make her my sweet little demoness?~" He smirked against your neck, sinking his fangs into it softly.

You wince at the pleasureable pain he made in your neck, and bring him in for a heated kiss. The kiss gets sloppy when Tanjiro slides his tongue in your mouth, cutting some more of your air. He gets impatient, but intertwines your hands with his. "I may be rough.. But I'll still take care of you. Now.. tell your Demon king that you want him to fuck you, yeah?"

You mumble.. Not wanting to give in. A grin spreads across his face. "I didn't hear you. C'mon Good girl~ Let your king hear you beg for him to swell you up with his kids. To be bred.. Like nobody's ever been bred before." He covered your neck in peppery kisses, kissing down to your waist. He enojoyed every taste, under your kimono, kissing your sweet soft skin. He paused at the new underwear you had on. And ripped the fabric off, making you yelp.

"Shhh.. quiet now~ Your family will hear." He hushed you, sticking a finger in your heat. The feel of one finger made you lower back arch. You loved the feeling, sounds escaping your lips frequently was like music to his ears. Making him pump in and out of you faster every breath he took. You came on his finger, and you felt his warm tongue exploring all those bits. His tongue slipped inside you, making you whimper a bit.

Tanjiro groaned. The lust in his body growing more and more to fill you up with himself growing by the second. His tongue explored deeper, with your legs now around his head, causing his tongue to go deeper inside of you. Your whines grew louder at the feeling of his wild tongue coursing through your heat. You gave him signals hat you were close to your second climax, and he pulled his tongue out right at your about to be release.

You felt him smirk, and move from under your now slightly soaked kimono. He lifted his head up from your spread legs, now looking at you. His eyes filled with lust, asking for permission to ravage every inch in your body. You were at his mercy. " 'M.. Stuff me, Tanjiro-kun!" You told him, until he broke. He ripped off the bottom of your Kimono, and teased your enterance slightly.

You rushed, switching positions. You pushed him over, now on top of his crotch, grinding on him. You pull out his throbbing length, letting your heat sink onto it. It was very big. You couldn't help but let out the most lewdest noise that made Tanjiro hungrier for you. He flipped you over, still inside you and thrusted hardly. His length already kissing your g-spot.

You pumped your hips onto his, causing the both of you to speed up, getting sloppier. Tanjiro didn't want to stop. He was going to spray into you until he couldn't anymore. Too him, it felt so good to corrupt such a good girl. His seed, claiming and wondering where it wants, filling you with his territory. He enjoyed it. So much. So much that he didn't want to go back. You were a human. Now his human. Now, and forever.

You bounced faster and faster on his length, losing yourself. You started seeing white dots, and your whinces grew louder as you dig uour nails into his back. You didn't know it would feel so good to be bad. You wanted to feel more of the wickedness course through you like your own blood. You loved the feeling. And you weren't going back. You didn't want to. You wanted it. You wanted Tanjiro. And the gods know.. He wanted you.

This had went on for 5 rounds straight. Tanjiro had filled your womb until your crevice went numb. You couldn't feel your waist anymore. All you felt was the tingling and Tanjiro shoving his member so fast, it went deeper every thrust. He slowed down, reaching his 6th and final climax. Spreading your legs farther apart to get a deeper angle than before, he started spraying your womb with his juices.

He pulled out of you, watching you slowly adjust to being somewhat empty again. He kissed your collarbone, leaving a mark with his fangs. "That was fun, wasn't it Good girl? I told you.. I'd make you my Aphrodite." He said, kissing you. "You stuffed me 6 times.. Was the first 2 not enough?" You ask him, laying on his side. "Well.. Now you know I claimed you 6 times." He smiled, rubbing your stomach with his palm. "They should come really soon.."

"How soon?" You ask, putting your hand on top of his. He held your hand, and kissed your neck. "Give them 3 weeks." You both feel asleep, not aware of how late it was.

In the morning, you were able to move. Tanjiro admired your will, but still picked you up anyway, and started kissing you. You laugh, and sit back up. You're on the side of Tanjiro getting dressed, when you realizes he still has to leave. "What's on your mind, lovely?" He asks, wrapping his arms around your waist. "Do you.. still want to go?" You ask, looking at him in the reflection. He sighed, burying his face into your neck. "I have too. But I don't want too." He says, taking in your scent.

"Will you visit me.. and the kid?" You rub his head, pulling him into a hug. "Yes lovely. I'll even send my doctor here the day you're due." He adds, kissing you.

You whine when Tanjiro pulls away from you, and closes the door. He'd be back in exactly 3 days. It had been 2 1/2 weeks since the breed. You were excited, but also scared. You hadn't went through child birth before. But you were about to give birth to a half-demon child. So you were even more afraid. But you knew everything would be ok.

You looked in your mirror. There wasn't much of a change. You didn't get any bigger. The child didn't eat much, but you can tell it grew. It kicked softly everyday, and moved around a little. You put your shirt back down, and heard the footsteps of someone around your door. You open it to find your mother sneaking around. "Everything ok, Mom?" You asks, covering a mark on your neck. She looks at you, and clears her throat. "Yes, Yes. It's just the Manwife is coming soon is all. He's out a picking for his new wife this season. Let me see.. His Spring wife!"

You gasp, and put your hand on your stomach. "That's right.. He's doing our ward, isn't he?" You sigh, losing hope. "That's for sure. Now.. I have to make sure that the yard is in top shape. And- Change out of those big clothes. They look like they're for some boy."

You laugh as she walks away. It is from some boy, Mom. You thought to yourself, snuggling in Tanjiro's shirt. You close your door, sighing. You were bored. Wondering what Tanjiro was doing.

Tanjiro's POV ! ~

Tanjiro was going through sheer boredom. Explaining to the king and queen how he's already found the one he wants to love, and how some built-up bitch whore, who has no sheer will for herself, counts as a wife. But when he wasn't arguing with them. all that was on his mind was you. The way you would yawn before falling asleep. The type of berries you would pick. Your favorite berries.. The berries you sought out for when you and him met.

He had snuck your blanket. The same light cyan blanket that you wrapped him in that day. He loved it. He was planning to wrap himself in it. Until his trusted door-guard walked in. Tanjiro stuffed the blanket back, going back to normal. "Yes, Mister Grady?" In all honesty, since Tanjiro only trusted Grady, the kind and queen snuck him in, to try and get intel on who you were. "Tell me, Son. Why so hung up on another woman, when you can have so many?" Grady asked. "She isn't just a woman. She's my woman. And she deserves love and Respect. I'm marrying her, because I love her."

Grady felt horrible, regretting this. "Who might this mighty lady be, Sire?" Tanjiro spazzed. He nearly could've went to see you then and there when he pictured you in his head. "She's human!" Grady gasped, regretting this. He evantually broke the conversation with a light excuse, and left to tell the king and queen.

Y/n's POV ! ~

It had been 2 days. You knew today was happening. The baby was coming. And so was so many other things. You felt your breath shortening, but getting heavier as soon as you woke up. Tanjiro was nowhere to be found. You clutched the pillow, closing your eyes. When you opened them Tanjiro's doctor was on the side of you. Helping you with everything, slowing it down. This was good and everything, but you wanted to see Tanjiro.

Tanjiro was being held back by guards from crossing back over to your humanity side. He felt his baby coming, and was getting angrier by the milliesecond. The king and queen were coming after you. To 1, kill you and take the baby.. Or 2, kill you and take the baby.

You had been pushing the baby, you were halfway done. When you thought of Tanjiro, the baby came faster, making you panic. The doctor told you to relax, and that Tanjiro would be there soon.

Tanjiro had broken free, making his way to the gate. He had gotten through, running through the wormhole as fat as he could to reach you. He couldn't let you die. You were going to live. He kept thinking, finally reaching your shrine.

Your family was dead. They stupidly challenged the demon family and got slaughtered. The only ones that were left, were you and the boy the doctoe helped you deliver. You clutched onto the boy in your arms, with barely any strength in you. The family had lost patience.

"Wait!" Tanjiro yelled, running up. "I can't let you-"

Slice.
