#his pain tolerance isn't that good either

[valll777]

I'm in my Saiki K phase so I made an attempt at writing a few headcannons! This has been rotting in my mind (and notes...) for a while now SO PLEASE BARE W ME POIUYGFDW Note: The reader in this situation has a germanium bracelet which blocks his telepathy.

Saiki k boyfriend headcannons

- He does secret daily check-ups every time you aren't with him.

- Saiki would use clairvoyance to make sure you get home safely (if he can't walk you home). - He would randomly surprise you with telepathy when you aren’t together, especially when you’re indecisive.

“The beige cardigan, or the pink one? I mean, I do have a ton of pink clothes. Hmm. Should I switch to another color this time?” “The pink one’s nice” “… what the heck. You stalker. But thanks tho! Was leaning towards it! ^^”

- He isn't huge on pda but enjoys your occasional clinginess when it's just the two of you.

- You usually lie down on your bed and rest your legs on top of his lap while he sits down and plays his crappy games.

“Is this alright with you?” “Its fine. I don't mind” "Thanks. Love you too!”

- He usually just nods at the last statement, he isnt big on words of affection (but you know he feels the same way).

- Despite the usual cold expression he gives everyone, he softens his eyes when you’re with him.

- He doesn’t seem to note of the change in his eyes (spoiler alert: his friends do, and start becoming stiff around him— it's rare he changes his glare to a gaze).

- You don’t seem to notice either, but you do feel the slight shift in his demeanor.

- You’re the only person he tolerates, and one of the only people (if not, the only person) who gets him to “soften up”, even if its just a little bit.

- He’s alright with pet names from time to time, but you either use his first name or dear (love and darling might just cause a distant planet to disintegrate, and the aliens will NOT be happy with that).

- You’re big on words of affirmation and gift giving, especially handmade ones (even though it takes you so many repeats and countless tutorials).

- Sometimes Saiki gets surprised when he sees your efforts during the process, especially when he uses clairvoyance to check up on you.

- His telepathy doesn't work on you because either he wears his ring, or because of your germanium bracelet.

- After learning some of his powers don’t work on you because of your bracelet, you’ve sworn to never take it off unless you want to annoy him or you get caught in a messy situation (your thoughts run rampant ALL THE TIME, guess this comes from being a yapper).

- Once in a while though, you remove your bracelet to give him encouraging remarks to him, especially after a long day.

- It makes him happier and feel more appreciated. I mean, you’re probably the only person (among his friends) that loves him for being him, not because he’s Psychic Saiki, but because he’s simply Saiki. Saiki Kusuo.

- He thinks that maybe, JUST MAYBE, helping out isn’t THAT much of a pain.

- He really doesn’t realize how much he has grown as a person ever since you’ve even been in his life.

- You were able to make him realize that he is a good person. It’s because he is human, and he is not defined by his powers.

- Saiki may think that he is God’s least favorite, but he thinks that perhaps an angel was sent as an apology for his disastrous life. (He will never admit it to you though. Well, maybe when he’s ready to properly express his feelings)

- He’s truly lucky to have you by his side.

I might write a scenario with the bracelet situation. Lmk if you want to read it!

I just need to say that I LOVE your work, especially the ones that can be read as platonic.

So as an inverse of the parent Yuu post, let me suggest a child!Yuu, you can decide the age, but I was thinking like under 10 because

1. It is very funny to imagine a kid being involved in all the teenager drama.

The way that thing would go is just so funny. I am a pacifist, guilty, fan of Papa Crowley, but imagine him as a person who still would give Kid!Yuu the tasks as the original one is hilarious.

3. Platonic twist boys, my beloveds.

And I think that Kid!Yuu could be those kids who are a little up on the time; ngl, I like neglect Reader/Mc/Yuu content a lot so lets put a little a bit of it too.

I guess this is it; it sounds more like me divagating than anything else, but okay. Remember to eat something, stay hydrated, and keep up the good work.

-🐦‍⬛✨

Aww, thank you so much! I love the platonic content in any series, but especially in Twisted Wonderland because I relate to many of the characters' struggles (I had a really difficult period of depression as a teenager, among other things), so part of me just wants to go and give them a hug.

Technically, I already have a series of posts as Child! Yuu, but I understand what you're saying and I like it!

Probably Child! Yuu did something rash like letting go of their parents' hands while crossing the street and was hit by the black carriage and transported to TWST. Either way, at first they didn't see the gravity of the situation, precisely because of the childlike mentality of now being in their own version of Alice in Wonderland (not in those exact words, but definitely with that train of thought).

In this way, they quickly becomes friends with Ace, Deuce, and Grim. After all, there isn't much to do while Crowley tries to "bring them back home." So they tries to have fun however they wants, without worrying about anything until the incident with the monster in the mine (perhaps it happens slightly differently here, but with the same essence and result). It's from this point on that Child! Yuu is generally more protected by Deuce, Ace and Grim.

Crowley lets Yuu live within the institution instead of Ramshackle, and is surprisingly present when it comes to the little child from another world. It's not uncommon to see Yuu sleeping in his office, stealing his hat, or even tucked into his coat when there's nothing else to do. When they ask Crowley about it, he simply says he allows them this kind of closeness because he's "very kind," but the truth is everyone can see the clear favoritism (which is why, if any student breaks something, they blame Yuu directly, knowing it will simply be swept under the rug. If it were any other student, it would be an instant detention).

Riddle is sincerely concerned that Ace and Deuce will be bad influences on Yuu, so he lets them know that he won't tolerate any out-of-character behavior with such a young child present (things like rude gestures, swearing, obscene signs, as he says, will be severely punished even without Yuu's presence). However, he also has his restrictions for Yuu, such as a limited amount of candy (he doesn't want the kid to get cavities so early in life), they can only play with the hedgehogs for the same amount of time they studies/reads a book, etc.

Riddle post-Overblot is much softer on Yuu as a child, especially if Yuu themself has a history of neglect from their family in their world. Riddle himself has fresh childhood wounds, so he doesn't want this GOOD child to end up swallowed up by pain and trauma the same way he was. If he can contribute to making Yuu's childhood happier, then he'll gladly do so.

Leona doesn't like children; I think we can consider that a universal truth. At least not loud and nosy children, and Yuu initially counted as loud and nosy, though one thing Leona found funny about them was that the child acted much older than they actually was, as if they could do something to him. Yuu isn't scary, not one bit, but they're not afraid of anything, so Leona respects their courage.

There are some things Yuu says that show they didn't have a good upbringing in their world, and that leads to something new: sympathy. Leona isn't easy on the kid, obviously, but he doesn't leave them to fate (whether it's sending Jack to make sure the kid stays alive or Ruggie to bring em something extra). Let's just say that Yuu and Leona, in a weird way, understand each other.

Azul definitely tries to take advantage of Crowley's favoritism toward Yuu to get him to make a deal with him, but fortunately Yuu understands the concept of "stranger danger" and avoids him at all costs. After Book 3, however, Yuu started stopping by Octavinelle if he wanted something better than cafeteria food (or the food Crowley gave them). Floyd especially loves to play (non-lethal way) with Yuu; it's not uncommon to see him running around campus with Yuu on his shoulders (usually screaming, either from happiness or fear, that is the question).

I don't think Child!Yuu can join the first-year classes for obvious reasons, but Azul is quite willing to give them private lessons so they doesn't stagnate in their education (with a small fee that Crowley has to pay, of course). Though sometimes it seems like it's just an excuse for Yuu to come to Octavinelle when they're too overwhelmed by Crowley's disasters.

Kalim finds Yuu adorable! He has some trouble taking his hands off them—he just wants to squeeze their face, hug them, and GHAAAAA! He totally has bouts of cute aggression. With Kalim's massive amount of siblings, you can expect him to be especially empathetic and protective of younger Yuu; he can't help but see them as his little sibilings.

Kalim gets really sad whenever Yuu mentions anything that implies they didn't have loving parents or a happy childhood in general, which can lead to a cuddle session on his part, assuring Yuu that they'll never want for anything while in Scarabia (and Kalim makes sure he lives up to that promise). If it weren't for Crowley (and his age), Kalim would have already adopted Yuu as a little sibiling.

By the events of Book 5, Yuu is already showing more signs of nostalgia and missing their world than before, even to the point of changing attitude. Vil is probably one of the people who notices this change when he sees them interacting with Ace and Deuce (during their time in Ramshackle). Vil isn't gentle with anyone under any circumstances, but it worries him a little to see this normally cheerful and energetic child suddenly so downcast and sad. That doesn't look good, honey. No child should look so broken.

Vil is probably the only one of the dorm leaders who goes directly to Crowley with his concerns. Even if he takes the director's promises with a grain of salt, he does make it his mission to make sure Yuu is okay, both physically and psychologically. This includes using an outing or event as an excuse for Yuu to have fun, or even turning a blind eye to things he normally wouldn't allow (eating sweets or junk food, getting dirty while playing, etc.).

Idia knew about Yuu from the rumors surrounding them, but he didn't really think they'd ever really interact until the events of Book 6. After that, there's a good chance Ortho and Yuu became good friends (being the closest in age to Yuu), so Idia went from never seeing Yuu to seeing them a few times on an average day. Sometimes the older brother instinct extends to Yuu too (maybe because they reminds him of Ortho in a way), in things like keeping Yuu from touching things they shouldn't, patting them on the head when they gets an answer right, etc.

Idia is...awkward for comfort, but he tries, genuinely tries. Besides, it's very likely that he himself is looking for a way to get Yuu back home, not only because he KNOWS Crowley isn't doing shit, but because there are surely people going crazy looking for Yuu in their world (maybe not the parents, but another family member must surely be very worried about them).

Malleus was always curious about the human child who unexpectedly arrived in his life. Not only was they not afraid of him, but they saw him in a way that Malleus could only describe as fascination and curiosity, something truly incredible to him. For this reason, Malleus constantly followed Yuu, whether to prevent the kid from hurting themself or being hurt by others, but he also ended up enjoying their company, their simple way of seeing the world, even seeing him.

For this reason, Malleus quickly noticed when his young friend began to become more discouraged, struggling to keep up with the tasks the adults assigned them (quite irresponsibly, he could say). Malleus understands to a certain extent (he compares this to how he used to miss Lilia when he went on trips), so if Yuu needs someone to listen to them the way they listens to others, Malleus has his arms open.

(ESPAÑOL)

Awwww muchas gracias! Amo el contenido platónico de cualquier serie, pero especialmente en Twisted Wonderland porque me identifico con muchas de las luchas de los personajes (tuve una etapa depresiva muy difícil en la adolescencia, entre otras cosas), por lo que una parte de mí solo quiere ir y darles un abrazo.

Ya tengo técnicamente una serie de posts como Child! Yuu, pero entiendo lo que dices ¡y me gusta!

Probablemente Child!Yuu hizo algo precipitado como soltarse de la mano de sus padres al cruzar la calle y fue golpeado por el carruaje negro y transportado a TWST. De cualquier manera, al principio no veían la gravedad de la situación, justamente por la mentalidad infantil de ahora estar en su propia versión de Alicia en el país de las maravillas (no con esas palabras exactas, pero definitivamente con ese tren de pensamiento).

De esa forma se hace amigo de Ace, Deuce y Grim bastante rápido, después de todo no hay mucho que hacer mientras Crowley trata de “regresarlo a casa”, asi que trata de divertirse como quiera, sin preocuparse por nada hasta el incidente con el monstruo en la mina (talvez aquí pasa de forma ligeramente diferente, pero con la misma esencia y resultado). Es a partir de aquí que Child!Yuu es mas resguardado por Adeuce y Grim en general.

Crowley deja que Yuu viva dentro de la institución en vez de ramshackle, y es sorprendentemente presente cuando se trata del pequeño niño de otro mundo. No es raro ver a Yuu durmiendo en su oficina, robando su sombrero o incluso metido en su abrigo cuando no hay nada que hacer. Cuando le preguntan a Crowley al respecto, el simplemente dice que le permite este tipo de cercanía porque es “muy amable” pero la verdad todos pueden ver que hay un claro favoritismo (por lo mismo, si algún estudiante rompe algo, directamente culpan a Yuu, porque saben que entonces simplemente será barrido bajo la alfombra. Si fuera cualquier otro estudiante seria detención instantánea).

Riddle sinceramente está preocupado de que Ace y Deuce sean unas malas influencias en Yuu, por lo que les hace saber que no va a tolerar ningún comportamiento fuera de lugar con un niño tan joven presente (cosas como gestos groseros, malas palabras, signos obscenos, como él dice, serán severamente castigados incluso sin la presencia de Yuu), sin embargo, también tiene sus restricciones para Yuu, como un número limitado de dulces (no quiere que el nene tenga caries tan temprano en la vida), solo puede jugar con los erizos el mismo tiempo que estudio/leyó un lbro, etc.

Riddle post Overblot es mucho más blando con Yuu niño y más si el propio Yuu tiene un historial de negligencia por parte de su familia en su mundo. Riddle mismo tiene heridas de la infancia frescas, por lo que no quiere que este niño BUENO termine absorbido por el dolor y trauma de la misma forma que él lo hizo, si él puede contribuir que la infancia de Yuu sea más feliz, entonces lo hará encantado.

Leona no le gustan los niños, creo que podemos considerar eso una verdad universal. Al menos los niños ruidosos y entrometidos, y Yuu al principio contaba como ruidoso y entrometido, aunque algo que Leona encontraba gracioso de él es que el niño actuaba como si fuera mucho más grande de lo que realmente era, como si pudiera hacer algo contra EL. Yuu no asusta, ni un poco, pero no le tiene miedo a nada, por lo que Leona respeta sus agallas.

Hay algunas cosas que Yuu dice que dejan ver que no tuvo una buena crianza en su mundo, y eso lleva a algo nuevo, simpatía. Leona no es suave con el niño, obviamente, pero no lo deja a su suerte (ya sea mandando a Jack para asegurarse de que el niño siga vivo o Ruggie para llevarle algo extra). Digamos que Yuu y Leona, de una forma rara, se entienden.

Azul definitivamente trata de aprovecharse del favoritismo de Crowley hacia Yuu para que asi haga un trato con él, pero afortunadamente Yuu conoce el concepto de “peligro extraño” y lo evitaba a cualquier costa. Después del libro 3, sin embargo, Yuu empezó a pasar por Octavinelle si quería algo mejor que la comida de la cafetería (o la comida que le daba Crowley). Floyd especialmente le encanta jugar (de forma no letal) con Yuu, no es raro verlo correr por el campus con Yuu en sus hombros (normalmente gritando, de felicidad o de miedo, esa es la cuestión).

No creo que Child!Yuu pueda unirse a las clases de los de primer año por obvias razones, pero Azul esta bastante dispuesto a darle clases particulares para que no se estanque en su educación (con una pequeña cuota que Crowley tiene que pagar por supuesto). Aunque a veces parece que es solo una excusa para que Yuu venga a Octavinelle cuando esta muy sobrecargado de los desastres de Crowley.

Kalim encuentra a Yuu adorable! Tiene ciertos problemas en quitarle las manos encima ¡simplemente quiere apretarle la cara, abrazarlo y GHAAAAA! Completamente tiene ataques de cute agression. Con la cantidad masiva de hermanos que tiene Kalim, puedes esperar que sea especialmente empático y protector con un Yuu más joven, no puede evitar ver en ellos a sus hermanos pequeños.

Kalim se siente muy mal cada vez que Yuu menciona algo que denota que no tuvo padres amorosos o una infancia feliz en general, lo que puede llevar a una sesión de abrazos por su parte y asegurarle a Yuu que nunca le faltara nada estando en Scarabia (y vaya que Kalim se asegura de cumplir esa parte). Si no fuera por Crowley (y su edad), Kalim ya habría adoptado a Yuu como hermanito.

Para los eventos del libro 5, Yuu ya empieza a tener mas signos de nostalgia y de extrañar su mundo que antes, incluso llegando a cambiar de actitud, y probablemente una de las personas que se da cuenta de este cambio es Vil cuando le ve interactuar con Ace y Deuce (durante el tiempo que estuvieron en ramshackle). Vil no es suave con nadie bajo ninguna circunstancia, pero le preocupa un poco mucho ver a este niño normalmente alegre y enérgico, de la nada, tan desplomado y triste. Eso no se ve bien, cariño, ningún niño debería verse tan acabado.

Vil es probablemente el único de los líderes de dormitorio que va directamente con Crowley con sus preocupaciones, aun si toma con un gran gramo de sal las promesas del director, lo toma en sus manos asegurarse de que Yuu esté bien, tanto física como psicológicamente, ya sea usando de excusa alguna salida o evento para que Yuu se divierta, incluso haciendo la vista gorda de cosas que normalmente no le permitiría (comer dulces o comida chatarra, ensuciarse al jugar, etc.)

Idia sabia de Yuu por los rumores que había a su alrededor, pero realmente no pensó que llegarían a interactuar de verdad hasta los eventos del libro 6. Después de eso, hay una buena posibilidad de que Ortho y Yuu se hicieran buenos amigos (al ser lo más cercano en edad a Yuu), por lo que Idia paso de no ver nunca a Yuu a verle unas cuantas veces en un dia promedio. a veces el instinto de hermano mayor también se extiende a Yuu (talvez porque le recuerda de cierta forma a Ortho), en cosas como evitar que Yuu toque cosas que no debe, darle palmadas en la cabeza cuando dice bien una respuesta, etc.

Idia es…incómodo para el confort, pero lo intenta, genuinamente lo intenta. Además, es muy probable que el mismo este buscando una forma de regresar a Yuu a su casa no solo porque él SABE que Crowley no hace una mierda, sino porque de seguro hay gente que está perdiendo la cabeza buscando a Yuu en su mundo (talvez no sus padres, pero otra familia de seguro debe estar muy preocupada por ellos).

Malleus siempre sintió curiosidad por el niño humano que llego de forma inesperada a su vida, no solo no le tenía miedo, sino que lo veía de una forma que Malleus solo podía decir que era fascinación y curiosidad, algo verdaderamente increíble para él. Por lo mismo, Malleus seguía constantemente a Yuu, ya fuera para evitar que el niño se lastimara o que lo lastimaran, pero también termino disfrutando de su compañía, de su forma simple de ver el mundo, de verlo a él incluso.

Por lo mismo, Malleus noto rápidamente cuando su joven amigo empezó a estar más desanimado, a tener problemas para estar a la altura de las tareas que le dejaban los adultos (de forma bastante irresponsable, podía decir). Malleus entiende hasta cierto punto (compara esto con como el solia extrañar a Lilia cuando se iba de viaje), por lo que, si Yuu necesita a alguien que le escuche de la misma forma que el escucha a los demás, Malleus tiene los brazos abiertos.

The Doctor's Little Assistant.

ft. dottore !

Dottore's personal assistant. 

You're the only one allowed inside his lab, outside of his clones and his disgusting little lab-rats of course. You're one of the only ones he actually tolerates. You're always so good for him, tidying up his mess of an office when he doesn't ask and always bringing him extra coffee when you know he's running low on it.

He's almost certain he's not gonna kill you off like the others, he likes you.

He likes the way you immediately oblige like you even had a choice when he asks to experiment on you. "I'd be happy to, my lord." You say, giving him a smile and a nod. He knows that you're scared beneath your little act, he can just sense it, and he loves it. He gets off on your pain and fear, and he finds it amusing when you try to hold back your wails of pain. 

Dottore especially loves when you start to let tears run down your face because of how much it hurts. You're left trembling, sniffling every couple seconds as he unstraps you from the vivisection table, but you would be lying if you said there wasn't a part of you that secretly enjoys it. He's a sick and twisted sadist, and you like it.

He thinks you're so pretty with your tear stained face and ruined makeup. He just shakes his head when you complain about it as if you weren't the one crying.

Maybe if you had let him remove your tear glands and ducts it wouldn't be an issue.

Dottore brings you to the fatui meetings too, he knows it's not allowed but he could care less. when Pierro reminds him that, "Anyone who isn't apart of the ranks, is strictly not allowed into the meetings." Dottore ignores him, and he keeps you right by his side, and when he can see your legs getting tired, he orders you to sit on his lap. He doesn't care when you get embarrassed, and he certainly doesn't care that his co-workers look at you two either, his sadistic smile only grows larger.

"You've been a very obedient girl as of recent, haven't you." It was an observation, but you still nod your head as if he just asked you a question while you try to avoid looking at his face. "Stupid little thing. Look at me when I talk to you." Dottore growls. He grabs your jaw with a vice like grip to make you look up at him and even though you can't see his eyes, you can still feel them on you. It feels like all the air has been knocked out of your lungs and you're quick to mutter out an apology. "Of course, my lord.. 'm sorry." 

"Good girl." He praises as he pulls his gloved hand away from your jaw. "I'd say an award is in order, hm?" He says as he starts walking over to a swivel chair that's behind you. You want to follow him but in fear of being disobedient, you stay frozen in place. As he sits down, he calls out your name and you're quick to turn around to face him. 

"Crawl to me."

You stand there for a moment, processing his words, feeling the heat slowly creeping into your cheeks. "Yes, my lord," you manage to spit out. Despite the embarrassment, you comply, dropping to your knees and then shifting onto all fours, moving toward him as instructed. Each movement is deliberate, the anticipation building with every inch closer to him. Finally, you find yourself between his legs, facing him on your knees, your heart pounding in your chest.

As you settle between Dottore's legs, your heart begins to race due to anticipation. You can feel his gaze piercing through you and it sends shivers down your entire body as you wait for his next command.

Dottore smirks, relishing in the control he holds over you. "Always so good," he murmurs, his voice laced with dark amusement. "You know exactly how to please me." You lower your gaze, feeling the weight of his words like chains around your neck. "Thank you, my lord," you mumble obediently, your voice barely above a whisper.

His smirk only widens as he looks down at you, reveling in the power he holds. His gloved hand reaches out, fingers curling under your chin, forcing you to look up at him. The leather feels cold and unyielding against your skin. "You look good on your knees," he muses, his tone dripping with sadistic undertones. "Maybe I should make you my desk pet."

You whine and swallow hard at the suggestion, feeling a mix of fear and excitement coil in your belly. "Please," you whisper, your voice trembling slightly and truthfully you don't even know what you're asking for. The way he looks down upon you, like he knows you're inferior to him, sends shivers down your spine.

He releases your chin and leans back in his chair, spreading his legs slightly to give you more room. "You know what to do," he commands, his voice cold and demanding. "Show me how compliant you really are, love."

Oh fuck.

The pet name almost kills you and it makes your breath hitch. You nod anyway, reaching up with shaky hands to unbuckle his belt. You can feel Dottore watching you as you do so and you can feel your face burning with embarrassment. But you push through, determined to please him.

As you pull down his trousers, you're met with the sight of his cock straining against his boxers. it sends a jolt of arousal through you, and you can't let out a soft moan at the sight. Dottore's chuckle is low and menacing, his hand coming to rest on the back of your head. "Come on," he urges, his voice low and almost taunting. "You know better than to keep me waiting."

You comply and pulling down his boxers, freeing his cock and you can't take your eyes off of it. You lean in, pressing a tentative kiss to the tip and licking a long stripe up the side. Dottore's grip on your hair tightens, and he lets out a breath of approval. "Good girl," he murmurs. "Now take me in your mouth,"

You comply almost instantly. You open your mouth, taking his cock in slowly with your tongue swirling around the tip. Him in general but especially the taste of him is intoxicating, and you can feel the heat between your legs growing with each passing second. You hollow your cheeks, taking him deeper, and his low groan of pleasure spurs you on.

Dottore's other hand joins the first, holding your head steady as you bob up and down. "Such a whore," he degrades, his voice laced with arousal. "You take me so well. You were made for this, weren't you?"

You moan around his cock, the vibrations making him hiss. His voice and his words a thrill through you, and you try taking him deeper into your mouth, wanting nothing more than to please him. Your pace quickens, your movements becoming more desperate as you lose yourself in the task.

Dottore's grip tightens painfully, and he thrusts his hips up, forcing himself deeper into your throat. "This is what you wanted, hm." He says, and though it was a statement, you still try to nod your head stupidly. In the process you gag, tears springing to your eyes, but you don't stop and neither does he. "That's right, gag on it." His groans grow louder, his breathing becoming more ragged. "You're so pathetic."

Your eyes water as you look up at him, the tears only serving to heighten his pleasure as he loves to see you cry. He smirks down at you, his thumb brushing away a tear that escapes down your cheek. "Pretty little thing.." He murmurs. "Take it, take it deeper."

He holds you there for a moment longer before finally releasing your head. You pull back, gasping for air, your lips swollen and wet with saliva. His chest is heaving up and down while you wrap your hands around the length of his cock. "I'm gonna cum," he groans, "Gonna paint your pretty face."

 Dottore pries your hands away from his cock and begins to stroke himself. You whine at the sight in front of you. "Please," you breathe out. He scoffs in amusement before slapping the tip of his cock on your cheek. "Open your mouth."

You instantly obey, looking up at him and sticking your tongue out. You're gross and messy right now but you know he likes seeing you ruined, especially if he's the cause. You're watching him stroke his cock from above you, pressing his thumb to the swollen and leaking tip. 

Your needy whines must've been just what Dottore needed to drive him over the edge. He groans as he reaches his climax and his free hand reaches for your jaw with a tight grip to hold you in place. Thick ropes of cum soon cover not only your chest, but your face and tongue as well. You keep your mouth open in an attempt and in hope to catch more of his cum on your tongue.

As soon as he comes down from his high, his hand comes down to slap your cheek and command you to swallow the bits that landed in your mouth. You oblige. He takes one more good look at you before tucking himself back into his boxers and pulling his pants up. "Clean yourself up." He spits coldly, and you nod. "Yes, my lord."

"When you're done, there's some paperwork I need you to get from The Regrator's office. Once you get it, bring it back here and I'll reward you once more."

Just started my period and everything hurts! How do you think each Dorm Leader (Or Dorm Leaders of your choice) would handle a Reader who started her period and suffers agonizing cramps, migraines, back pain, very tender breasts and sudden mood swings

I unluckily suffer from PMDD and become an emotional hurricane, but I always feel a little better whenever I read any of your older or newer works

Warnings; different dorm leaders and their different upbringings, menstrual cycle, yandere behavior, manipulative behavior, hints to a potential poly relationship with Rook reader and Vil, some platonic yandere behavior,

- Riddle is not sure how to broach this subject in the slightest. He may have had his mother, but that doesn't mean she communicated her cycle or educated him on it. He will look to Trey for help on the matter when a simple invitation to tea results in an unusually tearful response from you. Trey- being the older brother he is- will be first to offer comfort food before pulling a confused and slightly offended Riddle to the side. Riddle turns red from something other than anger as Trey gives the vaguest of explanations as to your current state.

- Riddle chooses to let Trey field most of the focus, trying to learn from his friend on how to best handle the situation. He becomes increasingly concerned as he learns about your back pain and migraines, deciding that he needs to learn what he can about your apparent condition. This will lead to a sleepless night of research and pestering Trey for information.

- Come the next day, Riddle is doing everything in his power to make you feel comfortable, going as far as to invite you to stay in his room in Heartslabyul while you are feeling so pained. Don't worry, he will sleep on the couch. He is a gentleman after all. Riddle insists. While you are in Heartslabyul he will pamper you to no end with sweets and good food. Whatever pain meds you need, he's getting them for you and he will hear no talk of repaying him.

- He needs this first time to go well so he can get you back time and time again into his care. He needs you to need him and he will do what he can to create that reliance on his care.

- Leona knows before you do. He has a superior sense of smell and will know your hormones are off long before the physical impact actually hits. You're going to wake up that first morning to Ruggie tiredly shoving things into your arms, saying something about Leona insisting he do it that moment. The next few days will be a lot of the same, from various gifts to comforts and essentials. Poor Ruggie isn't the only one who will be dragged into this either. Jack will be showing his face a few times as well with more things from Leona, embarrassed as he shoves the items into your arms and promptly flees.

- If you do see Leona any time during this, he speaks gently to you and will check in on you. He's not going to push if you don't want to tell him, but he will increase the gifts if he thinks you are suffering in any way. He will be pulling you from class to nap with him, using himself like a heating pad for you, and he will tolerate any anger or sorrow you throw at him with little more than vague frustration. He's trying to help you, herbivore, stop fighting him on this already.

- You eat like a king, Leona ensures it. There is no room to argue with him or insist you don't need/want his gifts. You're getting them regardless and you will keep getting them. No arguing or complaining will move him on this matter. It is common courtesy in the Sunset Savana to take care of the female aligned in the kingdom as needed, which also means in times of hormonal imbalance. He sees it as a basic politeness which is why he can't understand if you argue with him over it.

- If you get weepy he will clam up a bit, not used to handling these things gracefully. You'll be able to coerce him into cuddling you if you ask him while in this upset state. He'll be a little stiff until he relaxes into it, making it clear to you that he's not going to let you suffer without at least trying to help you.

- Floyd smells the blood on you first, confused and frustrated when you snap at him for what was meant to be a lighthearted comment about sharks in the water. Jade is more intrigued by your change in temper and attitude as you typically put up with Floyd better than most. These reports back to Azul are concerning and he decides to bribe the little monster you insist on keeping with you Grim with tuna for answers.

- What he is greeted with is a slew of information he isn't entirely sure he wanted, but it did give insight into you and your behavior. He keeps Jade and Floyd on your case to garner what information he can about your well-being as he studies up on this odd affliction you endure.

- Azul being Azul decides to write up a contract for you that looked like a god-send on the outside. From ensured pain-medication, to comfort food, all the way to taking notes in class for you, it is promised for every cycle you endure. Naturally, the fine print emphasizes a reliance on Azul during these times and an agreement to only come to Azul for help. Not to mention the 'Boyfriend clause' that extends the contract indefinitely if it's use exceeds six months, automatically granting Azul status as your boyfriend as added collateral for him due to the continuation of the contract.

- No, he won't be disclosing all of this outright, you should read your contracts better. He will be encouraging you to sign rather eagerly, already ready to be your Achilles heel if he needs to be. Just sign and make him the happiest cephalopod ever. Please. You need to sign.

- He is confused and worried all at once because throwing parties is not fixing your tears fast enough! How is he supposed to smile and laugh if you look like you're in pain like that? You are in pain? Why didn't you say so earlier?!

- Kalim is falling over himself trying to get you everything you could possibly need and then everything you don't possibly need on top of it all. He knows you're a bit dubious about staying in Scarabia, but he wants you close so he can make sure you feel okay! What kind of friend would he be if he left you laying in agony and so unwell?

- Jamil is already anticipating cooking meals for both you and Kalim during these times, wanting to also aid you in some regard. Where it is a duty to serve Kalim, Jamil is fond of you and what you have done for him as a person in his own right. He doesn't like the idea of Kalim getting all of the credit as per usual, but he knows you appreciate his care as well.

- Kalim tries very hard to help, but it will ultimately be Jamil who is of greater use to you. Still, Kalim hopes his attempts at making you smile somewhat cheered you up! So long as you are okay, he is happy.

- Oh, is that all? Vil has worked with others who have menstrual cycles quite a bit in the industry and some bad critics have likely called him a pmsing priss anyway. He gets that it is not a fun time and he will be much more understanding of times you have an ill temper with him. He will also be the graceful comfort for when you can't hold back tears anymore.

- You will be doing spa days with him and he will try to keep you hydrated during your cycle, providing pain meds as needed. He will be so kind as to put Rook on retrieval duty for whatever you need during this time (though Rook volunteered to do it in the first place).

- Spending it alone in worn down Ramshackle? I think not! Vil will absolutely be moving you into his room for the duration of your cycle and he will hear no complaints on the matter. You will be expected to participate in the nightly skincare routine with him and he will graciously share his products with you (and you are going back to Ramshackle with products as well). He will share the bed with you- don't misunderstand him, he will not be taking advantage of your state in that way- because it is his bed and he is being so gracious as to impress you with the life he can provide to you give you comfort in your time of need, why should he take lower quality when he can share?

- Rook will beg you to allow him to be your faithful servant at these times, enamored with the sight of Vil so happy with you and the beauty of the two of you together so domestically. If only he too could join in on the picturesque moment of domestic bliss you so flawlessly portray with beautiful Vil at your side. He will be more than a little eager to get anything you need him to retrieve. He is your faithful huntsman and you are his beloved trickster

- Oh shit, like IRL? Damn, well, the best Idia can offer is a stint in his room, taking classes virtually and having all the comforts he can possibly offer. You won't have to go anywhere, you can play games with him and binge sweets.

- You need a heating pad? He's already got it for you. You need some kind of massage? He wants to offer to do it but unless you ask, he won't have it in him to speak up about it. A fanboy can dream, right? Besides, a good several days with him, gaming and relaxing away from all that triggering ass social nonsense.

- He will not know how to handle tears and will completely panic, calling on Ortho to try and help. He has limited social grace but he will try to comfort you. Throw him a bone and tell him if you need him to just hold you or get you pain meds. Whatever you want, he will try to get for you as soon as he can, and if he can't get it, Ortho can.

- He hopes you'll let him crash on the bed with you, but he can get a cot too if you don't want a firey haired wierdo like him in the bed with you. If you do let him in the bed, he can't guarantee that he won't cuddle you (and he hopes his dakimakura of you stays hidden beneath the bed no matter what).

- Malleus is confused as to why his sweet child of man is in such disarray as of late. Surely he can aid you in some way? Perhaps even gain something from you in return for the gifts and boons he would grant you.

- Your pain is of great concern to him so he will be consulting Lilia on how best to treat your condition and soothe your unrest. Thankfully Lilia knows more about humans than Malleus and will be able to aid in your care. This caretaking will result in Lilia being more of a father figure to you because he can't help but enter that role when presented with a new charge to foster. Malleus is content to aid Lilia and learn from the elder Fae.

- Malleus intends to take over the care at some point, but he will have to fight Lilia for that right as Lilia becomes more than a little parental over time. Still, he will do what he can and use his magic as he sees fit to soothe you and give you peace.

- Lilia ensures this is not a one time thing as he will arrive right on schedule with your cycle next month to pick right back up where he began. Having already retrieved things to aid in your care. Malleus will be frustrated Lilia beat him to the task of caretaking, but he will resign himself to a partial caretaker for Lilia's sake. He is indulgent of the elder Fae and who would he be to tell Lilia to not care for his beloved child of man?

alright, so imagine neji didn't die during the war and he got married with fem!reader, and have kids!

can you write some general headcanons or whatever you like of reader x neji as married couples?

Neji Hyuga x AFAB Fem! Wife Reader

Warning: Canon divergence(Neji doesn't die), Neji and reader have children, mentions of pregnancy, mentions of children, Mentions of war and death, Aged Up Neji(Since he didn't die)

You and Neji have quite the interesting marriage and dynamic with your children to say the least.

The two of you had a traditional wedding with both his family and your family present. It wasn't a large ceremony but it wasn't small either, and it was very formal. It was only until after the wedding that the two of you were able to get more affectionate and lovey dovey with each other.

Neji is a very devoted and dutiful husband. He knows all of your needs, your wants, and wants to make sure that you are comfortable in every aspect of your life. He wants to ensure your utmost happiness in your relationship.

He made a vow to love you in sickness and in health, and he plans on keeping that vow. He will take care of you when you are sick, even when you aren't sick he's going to dote on you and make sure you are well taken care of.

The two of you both split the house chores evenly, and he always makes sure to do his end perfectly, he will not live a single speck in the house, it must all be squeaky clean. He's a clean freak that way.

His cooking skills are incredible. You need his food in his life, everytime that you try and copy his exact recipes you can never get your food to taste like this, which is why you sometimes call him "magic hands" you often joke about how his hands have a special touch that makes all of his food taste so good.

Now we come to Neji as a father.

Both you and Neji decided to have a few kids, two kids, maybe three, and you both are happy with your small family!

Throughout all of your pregnancies Neji was there, taking care of you, doting on you, and taking on more of the house chores so you would be able to rest as you moved further into your pregnancy.

Whenever you would call him over to feel the kicks in your stomach, he could never hold back the soft grin that would make it's way onto his face. He sometimes gets emotional. The thought of starting a family with the person he loves most in the world is like a dream come true to him.

When your children are finally born, he is there for it all. Holding your hand while you are giving birth, ignoring the painful death grip that you have on his hand. When your children finally come out he is always enamoured with how small and fragile they look, and he can not help the overwhelming amounts of love and protectiveness that wash over him the moment he finally meets his children for the first time.

He stares at their small face and gently vows to always love and protect them no matter what. He will be their rock throughout the heaviest storms of their lives. He will take care of all his children diligently. Feed them, rock them to sleep, change their nappies(even if it isn't the most pleasant experience at times). He does it all out of the love for their children.

He keeps a close eye on them especially in their toddler years. He doesn't want them to accidentally hurt themselves, if any harm came to them he'd blame himself.

He would enjoy playing with his children though, and training them in the shinobi arts. He'd want them to be strong and intelligent shinobi like him.

Neji is the type of father who is strict, however it's just because he wants the best for his children. He wants them to grow up to be the best versions of themselves, and if he sees them acting in a way he believes is detrimental to their potential he is going to correct them.

He has strict rules set in place for his children, and will not be too tolerable if they break them without good reason. However he does want to understand his children and understand why they would defy him, and try and see if he can find a common ground with them.

He doesn't punish his children extremely, but he makes sure to send a message that will stick with them.

He does not spoil his children too often either. He only gives them treats and gifts when he believes they deserve it, or if it's a special occasion like their birthday, or a holiday.

Most of the time you and Neji are in agreement with the way that you raise your children, however sometimes when you guys have disputes over parenting, he can get rather irritated. He thinks you're going too soft on the kids, and aren't disciplining them properly.

You remind him that sometimes firm hard discipline isn't necessary and children can be taught right from wrong in other ways, and it's important to be understanding towards them.

At first he's rather stubborn when you say this to him, he brushes it off as you just trying to make excuses for them, however he genuinely starts to think that perhaps you are right.

He makes more of an effort to try and understand his children more, and instead talk to them about things instead of just punishing them right away. He still makes sure they are disciplined of course, but tries to be more understanding of their behaviours.

However when you and Neji do get along as a parent duo, you are both unstoppable. Your kids know not to mess with you or Neji, and when the two are you are serious that's when they know that playtime is over.

If one of them is mouthing off to one parent, then you can bet that the other parent will be giving them one look that will make them rethink their entire behaviour that day.

It's never good for your children when the two of you are both angry at them, because that usually means that they will not be receiving any mercy at all, may someone save them.

On the brighter side when your children are behaving, your family often enjoys going on picnics in the forests together, and having playful training sessions.

You'll cheer on your children as they attempt to fight your husband(Neji huffs about how you should be on his side, but anyway-)

Since it's a playful sparring session, Neji doesn't go hard on his children, but he's not giving up easily either. He'll make sure that he gives them at least some form of a challenge.

It also doesn't help that you are loudly advocating for his kids to beat him up-

He will still obviously want to test their profiencies in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and especially taijutsu as that's his speciality, and he believes that people of Hyuga descent must be proficient in Taijutsu as it's a part of what makes their clan who they are.

They better have been practising gentle fist or they might just be in trouble.

When the spar session is over, all of you will gather around a picnic basket and eat delicious home baked food, and just talk and bond as a family. It's little moments like these that bring the family closer together, and strengthen your bond.

The bakeries are extremely delicious as well, what happy family doesn't bond over good food?

When the sky starts to get dark, your family packs up, and starts to head back home. When you reach home your children go to prepare for bed, while you and Neji clean up the house.

When your children are ready to be tucked in bed, you both say goodnight to them, and perhaps read them a bedtime story if they ask, then leave the room so they can sleep.

You both head to the living room, and sit together on the couch. The house was clean and the children were asleep. You both were exhausted from the day's activities however very satisfied. The house was quiet except for the soft snores of your children.

You both sat in comfortable silence for a while, until Neji spoke up.

"Thank you Y/N, for giving me this gift." A tender smile spread across your face at his words. As a child he honestly couldn't have ever dreamt of having such a loving happy like the one he had now.

"Thank you as well.. I wouldn't have asked for a better life than this one." You adored your family more than anything in the world, your husband, and your children were your whole heart.

He added "I genuinely don't believe that any dream could come as close as to the reality I am living right now with you. I always believed that my destiny was one of suffering and unhappiness, but ever since I met you, you convinced me otherwise, and that only further solidified itself when we got married and had our children."

Your heart fluttered as you spoke back to him "You saved me too you know. You gave me all of this, happiness, adventure, and little rascals that run around the house giving us headaches." You added the last part playfully.

A small smile crept on his face at your words "Well they may be headaches, but they are a good type of headache." You chuckled and shook your head, before grabbing his hand and tugging him to your shared bedroom.

The two of you both went to your room and got in bed together. You wordlessly snuggled into each other. You felt Neji press a small kiss on your forehead and sigh. "Goodnight love.." You spoke back "Goodnight to you as well darling." You both shortly fell asleep, exhaustion quickly taking over the both of you.

The dreams that you both had that night, truly did not compare to the reality of the life you both led, which was already a dream in itself.

(I just want some in-law content so) In a universe where Yizhou/Caleb is fine and his relationship with MC is completely platonic, what LIs would he approve of? For those he doesn’t, what would they have to do to prove themselves? Would they be like brothers or would they only get along for MC’s sake?

Oh this is a fun one!! Yes!

Zayne: Zayne is one of the guys that Yizhou completely approves of, has the gold star seal of acceptance. The three of them were childhood friends and Yizhou knows Zayne and knows he's a good egg and will treat MC right. That being said, it is a little weird in that way of your friend told you that they have a crush on your sister kinda way. I just imagine the conversation kinda went something like this:

"I'm taking MC out on a date this weekend."

"Ok. Happy for you two but I kinda hate you right now."

"What did I do?"

"You're dating! I'm gonna end up the 3rd wheel to your relationship! We went from a three person friend group to a couple and their one single friend. Thanks a lot, you two!"

"...I knew you were going to take this well."

Xavier: Yizhou and Xavier hit things off right away. They get along well, talk easily when the three of them are together. Yizhou sees how much MC likes Xavier and how happy he makes her. It also relieves him a bit that they live in the same building so she always has someone nearby to check in on her in case of an emergency. I imagine that at one point they get left alone in MC's apartment while she runs out to pick up food and when she comes back they are in a full video game tournament and in a full sibling rivalry mode.

"Hey guys I got dinner--"

"You are cheating!"

"No. You're just bad at this game."

"MC! Tell your boyfriend to stop cheating!"

"MC, tell Yizhou to stop being a sore loser."

"Letting you two become friends was a mistake."

Rafayel: Yizhou is actually kinda iffy on Rafayel when MC first introduced them. Something about him just rubbed him the wrong way and Raf didn't really like him either. They're kinda quietly not engaging with each other but when they're left alone it's just a long painful silence. The longer the relationship goes on the more they get used to each other but they do not function well when left alone together.

"So...see any good movies lately?"

"No. Been busy finishing my latest painting."

"Ah..."

"Yeah..."

"Quick question, if you're technically part fish does that mean eating seafood is sorta like cannibalism?"

"...You and MC definitely grew up together."

Sylus: Yizhou does NOT like Sylus. At all. These two have the thinnest shroud of tolerance and it is strictly for MC's sake. If they don't have to be around each other they won't be. Yizhou has asked MC if she is sure about this relationship more than once. The fact that Sylus is basically a Mafia Don doesn't help but he makes MC happy and seems to treat her well so he keeps his distaste low. Personally I just imagine their first meeting was when Yizhou came over to MC's apartment to drop off something and unbeknownst to him MC and Sylus were having some spicy time. So when he keeps knocking on the door to be let in Sylus ends up answering and clearly looks like he was interrupted in the middle of sex and is pissed.

"If you're selling something we're not interested."

"No I'm here to drop this off-- Wait. Who the hell are you? You don't live here."

"But my girlfriend does. Now who the hell are you and why are you interrupting us?"

"I'm her oldest friend and she's never mentioned you."

"Probably because it isn't any of your business."

"Can I just talk to MC, please?"

"She's a little tied up right now and can't come to the door so I'll take that and you can leave. Goodbye." Slams door in face.

"What the hell just happened?"

Your World 5!YN is so cute. They’re all like: 😍 while YN thinks they all hate her. Do you think the blue lock boys would be protective over her bc she’s like a big sister to them? Like the blue lock boys would try to shut down any flirting going on because “excuse you, that’s our sister.”

🌱🩷: Thanks for the request! I hope u like this, anon🫶🏻

Warning: Reader uses she/her. Requests are open. Send some World 5 requests, pls

⚽️Blue Lock belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura⚽️

Now, the Blue Lock boys weren't really into anything besides football. Why would they be? Football was their main driving force in this facility. If they mess up, their careers will be over. The dream of going to the World Cup and winning would be all gone. But, that doesn't mean they were oblivious to emotions or caring towards other people. Specifically their manager, who they came to see as a sister and friend who they would talk to when they needed it the most.

(Y/n), of course wanted the best for them and for them to be in their best mental state. A football player with a bad mental or emotional health wasn't good. Besides, they were still kids, so she tried to make their stay as stress free as possible. They wanted some snacks from time to time? (Y/n) would talk it out with Ego. The boys missed the city? A trip to the best spots in Tokyo was organized? They wanted to talk? (Y/n) had made sure to tell them from day one she would listen to them.

The boys were pretty content with their manager and stay there... Until the World 5 team decided to make a visit and see the progress of the team.

"Progress my ass." Otoya rolled his eyes as he watched Adam chatting away with (Y/n) during one of their breaks. The team knew the 4 men liked her, anyone could see it, except for (Y/n) apparently since she wasn't on edge around either. The last time they saw someone confess her, they noticed she was on edge around the guy and would cut their conversations really short.

But, back to what Otoya, Hiori, and Kurona were seeing. The trio decided to follow the Brit around and see what he was up to, and as expected, they saw him talking to (Y/n). The conversation looked normal as far as they could hear, thank God for these translator earplugs Reo's family gave them.

"What are we supposed to do? We can't let her fall into the hands of... him." Hiori said while pointing at the Brit.

"I have an idea. Kurona, what's your pain tolerance?" Otoya looked at the boy, who just glared up at him.

"Come near me and I will bite you."

"No violence." The cyan-haired boy warned.

"So, anyway, do you like your stay here so far?" (Y/n) asked after she finished laughing at some joke Adam said. The man looked away for a moment as a blush spread across his face, but quickly looked back.

"It's good. I see the facility upgraded a lot more since we were here the last time."

"Mhm! The donations from the Mikage Corp really did a lot. I wa surprised you would stay here again." (Y/n) added in, causing the Brit to look at her in confusion.

"Why wouldn't I stay here. This place has everything I could ever need." Adam answered, glancing at (Y/n) and looking her up and down.

'Or everyone.'

"Well, it's kind of boring here, and Tokyo has a lot of attractions this time of the year. Also, there are a lot of pretty women around, since you are interested in them a lot."

The woman said, laughing nervously at the last part. Adam looked at her in disbelief and it took him a moment to answer.

'This woman... I didn't even look at another woman since we last saw each other.' The Brit thought to himself, moving a little closer to her.

"Well, that's true, isn't it? Wouldn't it be nice if we snuk out and you showed me those places?"

(Y/n) looked up at him in surprise, not expecting him to want to go anywhere with her.

'Huh? I thought footballers of his caliber would rather want to be seen with models.'

"Well, it sounds like a nice idea-"

"(Y/n)-san! Kurona is in the medic room!"

Adam was about to yell at Otoya to go away, but bit his tongue when he remembered (Y/n) was next to him.

"What?! Is he ok?" She immediately left the Brit's side and ran to where Otoya and Hiori were.

"Little brats..." Adam mumbled as he glared at the two boys. Once Hiori grabbed (Y/n)'s wrist, Adam's anger was solely directed at the boy.

"Yes. But, we need your help there. Please." Hiori pleaded and started dragging her away.

"A-alright. Sorry, Blake-san, I will talk with you later." She said and sent the man a short wave before running towards the medic room.

Otoya stayed behind as Adam and him had a short glare match.

"Stay away from our manager."

"And what makes you think I would listen to you?" Adam asked, annoyed with the kids more and more.

"Just stay away." Otoya says in annoyance, knowing he can't really stop two adults from interacting.

'Brats! She was about to say yes to a date!' Adam gritted his teeth, but part of him was happy to know he had a chance. Next time he will make sure nobody interrupts them.

"So, what have you been up to? I didn't hear from you in a while." Luna asked as both him and (Y/n) sat in the dining hall while eating lunch.

"Nothing much, the usual. Making sure Anri and Ego-san don't kill each other, making sure the boys are happy, and all that. Just boring things." (Y/n) said honestly.

"What about you? You looked pretty exhausted during your last game."

Luna blushed a little when he noticed the worried look on her face, and quickly smiled while shaking his head.

"I was a little tired, but I am fine now. No need to worry."

(Y/n) sighed a little in relief before Luna spoke up again.

"But, how have you personally been? You have only been telling me how the rest are doing and what you did for them."

"Hmm? Well, I don't have much me-time these days."

"Why?" Luna asked in worry as (Y/n) drank her water.

"Consequences of managing a team like Blue lock." She laughed a little, hoping to humor the man, but his frown only deepened.

"Well, that's no good. Tell you what, how about you take a day off and we go out to Tokyo. I heard the Tokyo tower is romantic at night."

The woman blinked at the man as he softly grabbed her hand.

"I...." She looked at him in surprise as Luna smiled back at her.

'Why does he want to go with me?'

"Well-"

"(Y/n)-san! I need your help with my laces!"

"I need to talk with you about something! It's urgent!"

"I accidentally tripped and broke something!"

Luna groaned as (Y/n) turned to look at Isagi, Chigiri, and Bachira who yelled out for her and ran to her table. Meanwhile, Rin silently trailed after them.

"What? Are you hurt, Bachira?" (Y/n) asked in worry as Luna's hand tightened around hers. The three boys spoke up quickly in order for Luna not to get her attention again.

"How about you let go of her hand?" Rin said as teh Spaniard looked up at him.

"Shouldn't you rather figure out your issues with your brother?" The man smirked as he noticed the irked look on Rin. The boy did say something back, but Luna paid no mind to him as he looked back at (Y/n), who was too occupied with Bachira's ranting.

"Wooow. I didn't know you were that strong." (Y/n) clapped as she stared at Silva carrying a few boxes she originally planned to. The Brazilian used this as a perfect opportunity to both talk to her, and show off his own strength to her. Safe to say, he did succeed in that, seeing the awestruck look on her face did fill the man with a pride.

"This is a child's play for me. I carried heavier things. Where did you need this?"

Silva asked as (Y/n) followed after him.

"The storage room. It's just some extra stuff I keep to the side in case someone needs them." (Y/n) explained to the man who just nodded along as she spoke.

"By the way, how was your flight to Japan? No issues?" The woman asked as they walked down the hallway.

"It was ok. Nothing notably off, the turbulence was stronger than last time, tho."

Silva explained as (Y/n) looked at him in worry.

"At least you came here safe. I was never really on a plane, so I wouldn't know, but I guess it was scary." She said as the man smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"You get used to it eventually. But, enough about that. I saw there is a festival in Tokyo in a few days."

"Yeah, the Chichibu night! It's a really fun evening. Did you plan on going there?" (Y/n) questioned as the man looked at her nervously.

"Yes, and I was thinking of bringing a companion along." Silva said while looking at her. He thought she might catch on the drift that way, but he would learn to be more direct with her after today.

"A companion? I am sure I can find you someone. Do you prefere models or?"

Silva stopped in his tracks and looked at her in disbelief.

'Is she blind? Why would I want a model when she is here?!'

"No, I would like to go with y-"

But, before he could continue, the two adults heard loud voices from down the hallway.

"Yukimiya? Karasu? What happened?"

(Y/n) asked in worry as the two ran up to her, earning annoyed looks from Silva.

"We need extra towels and can't find them."

"We need your help."

The two said while pulling her away.

"Hey, hold up there. Don't drag a lady around like that." Silva put the boxes away and quickly walked after them, looking more pissed off than ever.

'Those kids are a pain in the neck!'

"Why did Cavasoz-san go into the manager's office?" Tokimitsu asked in worry as Aryu played with his hair and Niko glared at the door.

"How am I supposed to know, but we need to get (Y/n)-san's attention away from that guy." Aryu said as Tokimitsu sent him a quizzical look.

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Niko asked, not noticing the two taller boys staring at him.

"You think what I am thinking?" Tokimitsu asked Aryu, who slowly nodded his head.

"Yes."

"You still didn't visit Harajuku?" (Y/n) looked at Pablo in surprise.

"No. I wanted to, but it wasn't fun to go there alone." The Argentinian said as he sat on the couch in the woman's office while she was looking through some papers.

"Didn't the other guys want to visit? It looked like they were excited to see Tokyo after the last game." (Y/n) raised an eyebrow as she looked at Pablo.

"Beats me. It was kind of boring in the hotel, so maybe that influenced us?"

"Bored? I was sure that was one of the best rated ones in Tokyo." (Y/n) said, surprised that they thought it was bored.

'You weren't there! Of course it would be boring!' Pablo thought to himself as he got up and walked to her desk.

"Anyway, enough about them. I heard from the others you were working day and night, and didn't go out much?"

"Hmm? Well, not more than usual. It is stressful, but I like this job." She smiled at him, causing the Argentinian to blush a little.

"Still, you need a break! And I would suggest you go with me-"

Before Pablo could say anything else, there was a knock at the door.

"Yes? Come in." (Y/n) called out in confusion as Pablo groaned to himself.

'Couldn't it wait?!'

The woman's confused expression turned into an excited on as Niko walked in with a pair of cat ears on his head.

"I-I found this..." The boy blushed as he cursed the two other boys in his head.

"So cute!! Niko! That's adorable!!"

Pablo watched in disbelief as she ran over to Niko and hugged the boy.

"W-wait. I can be cute too." He called out and quickly ran to her side as he glared at Niko.

'No way will he outshine me when it comes to cuteness in front of (Y/n)!'

The last threat the boys didn't plan on was Loki. Now, while the boy had no romantic interests in her, he did see the woman as an older sister, and thus would sometimes ask for her attention or advice. Just like right now. He just recently came to Japan and seemed to have eaten something bad on the plane. (Y/n) had brought him to the medic room and went through the cupboards to look for some medicine.

"Maybe it was the meat? Or I just don't do well eating while on the plane." The French boy said as he watched her.

"Maybe. And you didn't have these issues last time you visited us?" (Y/n) asked again as she looked back at the boy, who shook his head.

"No. Everything was fine the last time I was here."

"Strange. I will see that a doctor checks you out after this-"

Before she could finish the sentence, the door swung open and both looked in a startled manner at Gagamaru, Nagi, and Reo.

"What happened?"

"I stubbed my toe!"

"I fell of my bed. Can you see if I am ok?"

"And I think I am dying. Please help!"

(Y/n) looked at the three in confusion as they bombarded her with words while Loki was silently chuckling at them.

Elrond was never really Noldor. That was a given. Earendil was half-human and half-Vanyar for all intents and purposes, and Elwing? Please. She barely tolerated the Gondolindrim as it was. And it's not like Elrond looked Noldor– no, his face might as well have been carved in likeness of Luthien. In any case, as the other Noldor were quick to stress, the Feanorians hardly counted as kin to them, anymore. The kinslayers had their own strange ways, and neither their culture nor their actions could be taken as truly Noldor.

Elrond wasn't really Sindar, either. Sindar didn't speak with that accent, or do their hair like that, or dress that way. There were things that Sindar grew up knowing; rites of passage, dances, history. And the longer Elrond spent around the Sindar, the more it became clear that he simply wasn't one of them. And if they sometimes looked nervous or uncomfortable around him, if they avoided his songs or cringed at his swordsmanship. Well. Who could blame them?

It doesn't help that he isn't like the elves; that he needs more sleep and more food, that he gets ill, has to shave. It doesn't help that Elros spends almost all his time with the humans, makes it clear he isn't one of the elves and doesn't care what they think of him. It doesn't help that some of the strange things Elrond does– things that no elf or man could– lead the Maiar to fawn over him, to teach him how to harness his power. He's happy for it until he realizes that it's started to make some of the elves scared of him.

Things only start to get better when he drops any pretense of being Sindar or Noldor, to having a claim to any particular heritage. To learn a new accent that reveals nothing, to cut his hair short enough that he can't do the braids he's put in all his life, to dress like the elves around him. To bend his form into something elvish. Something more familiar.

It doesn't feel good, or honest, and it doesn't really bring him acceptance either. It's still better than the alternative

(This is kind of the dark counterpart to another one of my Elrond posts. Normally I think the elves are less cruel and more curious about Elrond's general incomprehensibility, but this feels like a very real possibility. There's a lot of pain there.)

[haveyouseenthisskeleton]

I don't know if this has been asked before but skeletons try a period cramp simulator what level do they bail out on/do they make it to the last level or do they push through the pain to prove a point?

Undertale Sans - At the first level, he falls on his knees, faceplants on the floor, and refuses to move for three hours. Sorry, that's the best he can do, he's just a little man.

Undertale Papyrus - He keeps going with his day, simply grimacing or jumping slightly from time to time. He goes to level 7 out of 10 then it becomes too much to move and he just decides to curl up on the floor and pretends like he isn't dying right now. He can't go further than this. He understands better what you feel like now, however!

Underswap Sans - He asks you if it's the best you can do at 10 out of 10. Because he's still fine! Ok, he's crying, and can't stand straight anymore and he swears his whole pelvis will dust if he tries to sit up, but he's not giving up! He's a strong boy! He can resist! (He's still glad when he learns you can't increase the difficulty more though).

Underswap Papyrus - He plays it cool like he doesn't feel anything. You can tell it's a lie though because he's turning paler and paler. At 5, he collapses and passes out to protect himself from the pain lol.

Underfell Sans - You think he's scared of your tiny device? Nothing scares him! He taunts you on the five first level, before suddenly shutting up. He still asks you to go further, but you can tell he's just doing it for his ego. He's struggling hard to not break down in tears right now. He won't give you the satisfaction. He just won't. He can't walk straight after for a good hour though.

Underfell Papyrus - "WELL IT'S NOT WORSE THAN THAT TIME I GOT STABBED TWENTY TIMES IN A ROW." He just shrugs. It's not that impressive you know. That's when Undyne punches him in the face and then casually asks if it's hurting now. What. She's helping.

Horrortale Sans - He whimpers pitifully as the pain increases, looking at you with kicked puppy eyes. He stops at 4, because he doesn't like it and it's stressing him out. Well, when I mean stop, I mean he rips off the whole thing from his pelvis, growls, and throws it by the window of course.

Horrortale Papyrus - Wow, he guesses he developed a crazy resistance to pain with his back problem because that's actually not that terrible, even at max. He just shrugs at you. Sure, it's not nice but that's tolerable. You feel sad he thinks max level is his average level of pain in bad days :( That's for sure not cool.

Swapfell Sans - He's still sipping his tea but you can see his hands are shaking a little. He still tries all he can to not show how much it is affecting him actually. Though even him reaches his limit at some point. At 8, the cup of tea literally flies in the air as he has to curl up to ease the pain. He still holds on to 10 though. He knows he can take it.

Swapfell Papyrus - At 3, he's begging to stop, then says that he's fine after all. At five, he's curling up and whimpering, still pressuring you to go more intense. At 6, he's on the floor, holding his stomach with his two arms and crying like a baby. You got him. Now every time Rus is being bad, you threaten him to tie him back to the period cramp simulator and he calms down immediately.

Fellswap Gold Sans - A raised non-existing eyebrow is all you will get as a reaction from him. And a small "ouch." at nine. Wine is not expressive, at all. He's not especially in pain either. He went through so much Underground that it's actually not that painful on his scale of pain. Maybe a 3/10, even at the max level.

Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He goes to five, collapses, and asks for a five hours cuddle session to recover from that horrible, horrible traumatism you forced him to suffer. You suspect he planned this since the very beginning of that experience as his whimpers started at level 1. But level 1 on your machine is broken so you know he's lying.

[lan90]

Hi Hi! I have 3 questions I wanted to ask if it was ok!

the first one was what would the scenario be if Benji and Rowan were to coincidentally fall in love with the same person?

Is Rowan a family person if so how much kids would he want?

and 3 would be what would happen if his S/o was a supernatural like a demon or a hybrid?

Hello hello anon, I shall answer them all ✧

tw: yandere, jealousy, baby trapping, word count: 662

What if Benji and Rowen were to fall in love with the same person? Well... God save their poor soul. Benji and Rowen are the polar opposites of each other. If they were to fall for the same person, I don't think it would be possible for them to exist as a three. Once they find out that not only are they in love with the same person but they're both lunatics, it's inevitable they would try to kill each other. Ironically, they both believe they're trying to save their darling from this deranged individual.

Benji is brutal. Violence is the only option in his eyes if he were to have a love rival. Doesn't matter who Rowen is to you or how long you've known him, he's going down. Why is that man getting in the way of your relationship? Who does he think he is? He dreams about bringing any rival's head to the table and proving his devotion. That's the beauty of love, how far someone will go for their dearest.

On the other hand, Rowen is a bit smarter and would not resort to violence straight away, he would try other means such as chipping away at Benji's finances somehow and bringing him down slowly. Would hide you away entirely too. Of course, if there's no other way, he isn't against getting his hands dirty but he just doesn't want to see you upset. He would manipulate you into limiting your time outside (he would never let you be alone with him) his level of anxiety means he'll always be stalking you from a distance.

In other words, they're like cats and dogs.

2.) Is Rowen a family person if so how much kids would he want?

Definitely! He thinks almost religiously about how good his darling would look with his children and how precious it is to have a mini you running around. So cute so cute. He gets this weird cuteness aggression just thinking about it! Your hair, his eyes or whatever combination. It really doesn't matter as long as it's his child. How many kids is really up to you, one or several he's delighted to assist however he can :) Rowen never got to be around children, his twin sister had moved away and he was never close with his family but he would try very hard to be a good father. It's special - he thinks it would deepen the relationship too.

Now if you didn't want kids but you had the ability to reproduce... you're unfortunately very likely getting baby trapped.

3.) What would happen if his S/o was a supernatural like a demon or a hybrid?

Rowen would be so fascinated. This feeds more into his belief that you're a higher being and would make him worship you all the more. Rowen is so devoted to you, he'll do anything you ask him to. Do you want any type of sacrifice? He'll bring you as many bodies as you want! Rowen would kiss your feet and would be happy with whatever you do to him. Would not be able to keep his hands off you either. His darling is so cute and special.

Benji, on the other hand, is very intrigued but a learned man. If his darling was something beyond human, he'd tie them up and make sure they could never leave. Another thing is - he will be very curious about how their body reacts compared to that of a normal human being. Whether it be pain or pleasure tolerance, he'll take things to the very extreme. How you react to the touch of his fingers or to straight up to a knife. Boundaries are limited but he wouldn't kill you. You'd just be his little plaything he cherishes and comes home to.

[cambion-companion]

First of all, hi! Hope you're having a good day/afternoon/night!

Ok, so, since ficlets requests are open, this is something that has been on my mind for a few days now and it's like Tav/Reader doing horn care to Raphael's horns like polishing them or just appreciating this man's horns because i...i love them (don't know if this makes sense but yeah)

FAM! I have been WANTING to write something like this for so long now, thank you for giving me an excuse hehehe you know how much I love his horns!

Horn Balm a balm for horniness

Raphael x gn!reader

Having a cambion between your thighs was certainly an item never on your bucket list. However, you couldn't complain.

The water, soft and warm as liquid silk, surrounded the both of you. The heat from Raphael's cherry skin soaking nicely into the muscles of your legs as he sat below you, his back turned so you were unable to see his bemused expression.

"Just sit still." You pressed your calves either side of his shoulders and scooted close, thrilling at his proximity. "I had to chase down the merchant for this, especially after describing who it was for."

"Did you now?" Raphael relaxed marginally, leaning back again until you had to maneuver your upper body so as to not get brained by one of his horns. "I do not recall requesting such a delightful service. Horn balm is a far cry from a crown after all., little mouse."

"It's a start." You muttered and squeezed your legs a little vindictively, earning yourself a low chuckle from the cambion. "You could just say thanks." You dipped your fingers into the tin and spread the oily substance between them experimentally.

Raphael's hand rose, dripping water along your leg as he traced a finger lazily up your skin causing you to shiver. "I could, but that would be quite unlike me. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Hmm." You were too busy beginning to tentative work of spreading the balm along the rough edges of his horns. "Stop moving."

Raphael had taken a quick inhale through his nose, the frown evident in his voice now. "What potent smell is that?"

"You're one to speak of potent smells, mister musk."

"I am beyond your reproach, my dear." Raphael moved his head again, causing you to curse as a sharp edge of his horn nicked your thumb.

Hearing your little gasp of pain, Raphael took your wrist and pulled the injured hand over his shoulder to inspect. "A rose would have done greater damage." He kissed the drop of blood off your skin and released you, keeping his head held still this time. "Continue."

"I thought the smell wasn't agreeable." You moved your feet languidly in the warm bathwater, enjoying the teasing banter, returning to your work of massaging the oil into Raphael's horns.

"It isn't. However, your presence here is. For the moment."

That softened you. Your fingers traced every curve and ridge until the slick balm soaked in. His horns proved far more porous than you'd initially thought they'd be.

You had often admired the shape of the cambion's horns, thinking in many ways they resembled a crown. A slight dusting of red pigment covered them, like fine powder left too long upon the otherwise dark surface. Quite like the man himself, his horns were beautiful and alluring yet dangerous to handle as had already been demonstrated.

"Enjoying yourself?" Raphael cut into your silent thought, drawing your attention back to the present.

"It's tolerable." You lied, quite unwilling to tell him the truth of your enjoyment. Though the prickle up your spine intuited he already knew.

Raphael chuckled then reached up to remove your hands from his horns, imperiously signaling for you to be done. "I deem that to be quite enough for the present."

You disentangled yourself and slid into the bathing pool next to him, sighing as the water enveloped you. Raphael conjured a mirror and admired your handiwork for a moment. He raised a brow. "I owe you my thanks." He stretched his arms and wings along the side of the bath, sinking a little lower. "You're so eager to please me. I normally do not allow such gestures of...service." His head tilted a little as those familiar hellfire eyes scanned you. "However, you inspire indulgence in unprecedented ways."

My voices' abilities, mainly in my Heathens AU, but also something I usually give to them in general:

Hero: mild shapeshifting between his different routes forms (not smth he can control and intrisincally linked to his facets); some emotion manipulation abilities, usually manifesting as his own emotions being projected into the air around him (fear, anxiety, happiness, determination, etc)—also not very good at controlling it, it usually just kinda Happens

Contrarian: Surprisingly resilient, since the skin under his feathers is made of a rubbery material and his bones might as well not exist for how much they seem to affect him; additionally, body has some elastic properties—can contort themselves to all kinds of weird positions; changes saturation (and, more rarely, the colors themselves) based on mental state

Cheated: Regenerative abilities; her body is made out of a hard material that can easily be reattached if it breaks off (not without pain though); can still control any limb that gets cut off, and the phantom sensation they leave behind helps him find them if they get lost

Skeptic: incredible far-sight vision (not as good near-sighted); intuitively knows the purpose of almost any object he comes across and how to use it; photographic memory

Smitten: can he really affect what's about to happen through the sheer power of belief or is he just extremely fucking luck? who knows!! Can also conjure up almost any food at will as long as he knows how to do it and has the energy for it

Cold: High-tolerance for all kinds of pain as well as extreme temperatures (doesn't mean his body isn't affected by it); has a natural defense against mind-reading and mind-controlling magic, as well as most effect-based spells (this includes potions)

Paranoid: High-sensitivity for magical and others supernatural activities; similar intuition to Skeptic, but leans more towards magical/cursed objects; can see through invisibility, including that of spirits

Hunted: Heightened senses in general; can talk to and understand all kinds of animals and creatures; faster-healing when sleeping; if it considers someone part of its 'flock', it becomes able to sense exactly where that person is if they're in its general area

Opportunist: mild shapeshifting, mainly on his face (can also change voice); his scorpion tail stores a non-lethal venom he can seep from either the tail's stinger, his teeth, or claws—the venom will slow you down and fog your mind, and may even cause some hallucination

Stubborn: Incredible resilience and strenght, only held back by how easily he can tire out; gets a buff when protecting someone else

Broken: the opposite of Hero's emotion projection, where they'll absorb the emotions surrounding them (it usually leaves them feeling pretty overwhelmed and a bit numb); their singing has some healing and soothing effects, unless they're in a particularly bad mood, then the singing will cause anguish and pain

Alrighty! @number-one-shadisper-shipper and I binged the Knuckles series today, so time for thoughts! SPOILER ALERT.

I'll admit the show wasn't perfect. I've seen the negative reviews, and I kinda get where they come from. BUT! I did enjoy this show greatly! And I'm not here to complain. Time for some happy thoughts, y'all! 💙🤩

I think you need to have a love, not just tolerance, for the SCU in order to properly enjoy this show. I do have such, so I had a lot of fun with it.

There were definitely scenes from every episode that had me either squealing, laughing, crying, or flipping out. But my favorite was likely the first episode, because come on, we saw the Wachowski family! Most of them, anyway! While I missed Tom's presence, I was grateful for that comment from Maddie about him being "out of town," so he wasn't just gone for no reason.

The SECOND it showed our three space babies hanging out together in their room?! I SCREAMED. THE BOYS!!!!

Tails sitting on his bed tinkering with one of his gizmos, Sonic rocking out to music with an air guitar, and Knuckles exercising from one of the ceiling planks. IT'S THEM!!! They're just hanging out, doing their thing, looking oh so much like brothers. And Sonic's narration at the beginning was GOLD. 🤣💙

Even though we didn't get enough of Maddie being a parent, we definitely got a nice chunk for it only lasting part of an episode. Maddie called Knuckles "one of our kids" (that had me SCREECHING). The angry mama vibes were GOLDEN. 🤣 The way she made breakfast for them, the "Boys, breakfast is ready!" I love the normalcy of it! Can't wait to see more in the future! (Her calling to them with "boys" is somehow just the sweetest thing and I'm melting.)

The poor mailman being like "I just wanna go home, man" 🤣

We were right, fellas, Knuckles had no idea what being grounded meant. 🤣 Although the way Sonic piped up with "Oh, I definitely know what it means," has me suspecting that Sonic himself has gotten grounded a decent amount before. 😂

Knuckles trying to talk back, and Maddie going, "ExCUSE ME?!" then just making those tiny, terrifying noises and Sonic being like "Bro don't mess with Mom when she's mad" (okay, he didn't say "mom" and that made me sad, but the mom vibes were 110% there so I'm here for it). 😂 And since Knuckles snuck out and later Wade said, several times, "Aren't you grounded?" seems to confirm that this entire show is basically what Knuckles does when he's grounded. 🤣 Although ... his comment about not being able to be grounded because he had no home made me very sad. 😭

I did not have an issue with so much Wade screentime! Sure, he isn't my favorite SCU character, but I love what this show did with him! I'd already seen his moments in the movies (like nearly shooting Robotnik in the face with an actual handgun). I like how they gave him actual family issues; a dad who abandoned him and his family, a realistic sister, a mom. Bad family memories. Awkward reunions. They could've made it a joke, but they didn't, and I greatly appreciate that. Especially since I've witnessed firsthand how painful family separations can be. 😔

All the emotional talks Wade and Knuckles had caught me off guard in the best way! The way they talked about their different family issues, the way they talked of betrayal from friends, and being left alone, hit way harder than I was prepared for. Especially that talk they had at the burger place in the middle of the night? Oof. Good talk right there.

Also, even though they took a "show don't tell" take with it, I loved how Knuckles relaxed more and more throughout the show. In the beginning, he couldn't rest, he couldn't sit back and have a genuine good time. But the more he hung out with Wade and his family, the more he learned. He learned about music and found "his jam" (that was literally amazing btw). He watched movies with Mrs. Whipple and ate snacks in the hotel room in Reno and watched more movies. He had his teenager moments of rolling his eyes and rebelling, but he was so well portrayed here, I loved it. I felt for him.

Despite the bizarre nature of the episode "Flames of Disaster," (we were cracking up so hard) I'm trying to glean bits of the truth of Knuckles's story from the crazy musical play that Pachacamac put on in Wade's dream. I mean, "Longclaw" and her tribe were there, and ... what the heck was that giant demon thing?! Iblis?! Does our Knuckles Wachowski have an actual history with freaking Iblis?!?! 😱🔥

I was deeply intrigued by the two main antagonists, especially at the implication that G.U.N. did seem to exist before the events of the first movie?! Did it exist, get disbanded after the Maria incident, then get reformed?! My brain is exploding. 🤯 I was even more shocked that they apparently died? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the Wachowski kids don't seem to have much qualms about getting rid of the baddies for good as the game versions do. That was a terrifying phenomenon, what happened with the two rings. 🫣

And then the Buyer getting crushed by the giant glass ball 👀

Although in those last two episodes, I admit I was freaking out and legitimately near tears at Wade's seemingly having to "betray" Knuckles. Before the reveal that all was in good communication, all I could think was how relaxed Knuckles finally seemed, chilling in the hotel room, being excited about whatever Wade wanted to "show" him, questioning whether it was a song, him declaring that he was going to bring his favorite hat, 🥹 all I could think was of their previous discussions about betrayal from friends and family, and when Knuckles called Wade "my friend" right before the elevator doors closed, I just about sobbed. I was like "please, don't let him be betrayed, don't let him have come all this way and relaxed so much only to get 'betrayed' once again by someone he's come to consider a friend." 😭 We heaved a HUGE sigh of relief when it revealed he was aware of the trap the whole time. 😪

Maternal instincts went nuts when he got so badly hurt in that final battle 😭 I literally reached for the screen several times and was right back to almost weeping 🥲 And someone tell me I wasn't the only one noticing the parallel in that scene with Wade standing in front of his unconscious body the way Tom did with Sonic in the first movie. That, PLUS Knuckles's epic comeback, and his retrieval of his own power?!?! EPIC!!!!

The ending was abrupt, sure, but the pure joy on Knuckles's face after everything as he jumped up to high five Wade was just too sweet. 🥹

So yes, even though I would have loved just a little more, a return to Green Hills, a reunion with Maddie, Sonic, and Tails, I adored this show. It was a wild ride, full of laughs, tears, excited screeching, etc. 💙💛❤️ I don't care what anyone says, nothing will make me hate it.

[defendingtheowlhouse]

I've read a criticism of how TOH handles redemption arcs, and I can't help but agree with at least some of the points.

Basically, the way TOH handles redemption arcs is overly simplistic-a character starts out antagonistic, but it turns out they were really manipulated by a cardboard cutout villain and actually a sweet person all along. It seems a character is only "worthy" of sympathy if they were never bad in the first place. It's a concept that could work, but feels lazy when applied to several different characters.

When we look at the major redeemed villains Lilith, Amity and Hunter, they all follow this pattern. Lilith is introduced as strict and austere with an intimidating presence and dresses in all black, Amity is aloof, haughty and a bully and Hunter is cocky, but after being redeemed and joining the good guy's side they drop these characteristics and are revealed to have a nerdy side, becoming more similar to Luz.

Lilith becomes the Cool Aunt, Amity becomes Luz' caring girlfriend and Hunter becomes the "resident whump character". This would be like if Zuko lost his fiery temper and sullenness and become a cheerful goofball just like Aang.

While I understand a point being made that once these characters are freed from their toxic influence (2/3 are Belos, and the other is Odalia) they gain the freedom to embrace themselves, so the changes post-redemption provide a stark contrast to their antagonistic selves, but I still think it sucks that characters like Lilith and Amity lost their unique personality traits in favor of becoming broadly "nice".

Another point from the critique I'm referring to is that with the exception of Lilith, none of the former antagonists go through a "redemption arc" because they don't make up for their previous actions. I don't know if I agree with this broadly, but as for Amity I think it might have a point; she didn't properly atone for bullying Willow, and she did it out of her own free will because Odalia had only demanded she ended their friendship, not any bullying.

"Nice" isn't synonymous with good and I would love to see that represented in media.

Thanks for your ask. This is something I've pondered quite a bit. There are many reasons why I personally disagree with a lot of this.

1. For lilith, she never really does become that nice after her redemption. She spends most of Echos of the Past unamused at the others' hijinks, trying to prove herself right and being harsh towards luz and King. In yesterday's lie, she crushes King's hope of his father coming back. She's still harsh in her personality.

2. For hunter, I don't really think he loses his cokyness, it's just either ignored or not recognised by most viewers. Like how in thanks to them he brags about his pain tolerance (before being hurt and wincing before he can finish his sentence) confidentiality showing off his cosplay. (And although it's before his true redemption, any sport in a storm is always pointed out as an episode where he's acting out if character, but in that episode he's about the cokyiest he ever is, imposing his point of veiw as truth and assuming he knows what's best for the emerald entrails before he tries to make things right)

3. For amity, I do think she did change the most in personality (although she still has moments of harshness, like judging hunterfor his costume choices), which I don't see as that much of an issue given the others don't do that as much as people seem to think and because when she is like that, she seems miserable. She spends most of her time disconnected from everyone around her. She's lonely, and as a result, she doesn't really care about how nice she is, and she's rewarded by her peers (and probably parents too) for being mean so that's what she does. For her, I feel like becoming more nice is a result of her having real friends, and because of that, learning to be mindful of others and becoming more like them.

4. I feel like a lot of them definitely at least try to make up for their actions, especially lilith, who shares the curse with Eda, making the curse more manageable for Eda and making Lilith's actions have consequences

Burning in the Darkness

synopsis: The confrontation of love isn't always pretty, it's not always accepted either, live can hurt, it can burn hotter than any flame in Tartarus, Kai knows this well. or, a short story on how Felix and Kai came to be

word count: 3.2K

pairing: Lee Felix x Male Oc! (Kai)

notes! : HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kaisworlds I LOVE YOU SO MUCH OMW ID DIE FOR YOU I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS, EVERYONE GO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM YAYAYAYAYAYA. Based on this Yunho fic! Here are characters parents!

It was a mistake, fuck it was such a mistake but god did he wish it wasnt. The pain, the searing heat of Felix’s touch is now forever engraved in Kai’s memory. There are tiny burn marks littering his skin, ones that could be mistaken for hickeys if not for the the pain on his flesh whenever he moves, his bones ache as fatigue consumes him. His eyes are still closed, trying to will away the rising sun and its offspring that lay next to him.

He’s scared, and that's a foreign feeling, at least in this sense. He’s developed his fathers lack of emotion overtime, the darkness being a part of his soul and not just something he could control, he’s scared to open his eyes because he doesn’t know what he'll see. He told his sister, he fucking told her he didn’t want to come to the party the kids where having at Felix’s dorm, he knew his mind wasn’t in the right space, that he’d end up doing something he couldn’t take back. He shouldn’t have listened to his sister, she just sounded so happy at the chance to actually hangout because Erin was out of town and he didn't have the heart to deny her.

Last night everything felt so right, the music was blaring, the alcohol left that delicious burn in the back of his throat after every shot, everyone was laughing and he had lost the reason he was worried in the first place, that is until a tipsy Felix sat next to him. God did he look good, blond locks growing out, now almost reaching his shoulders, glittered eyes and dark freckles on his cheeks, he looked absolutely delicious and Kai found himself wishing to taste Felix. He wanted the blond man’s taste to be the burning in the back of his throat, not the alcohol that now seemed tasteless in comparison to the flavor of Felix’s lips he’s concocted in his mind. 

He shouldn’t have, he knew he shouldn't have, he’s been to many parties, he's got a tolerance and he knows he can’t blame his next actions on the alcohol. It was just, he came to a point where he couldn’t resist Felix anymore, not when he was looking up at him with those big eyes, with the pout that made him seem so fucking kissable. The rest was a haze but Kai can remember every detail of Felix’s body beneath his, he doesn’t remember how it started, he just remembers Felix’s lips against his, he remembers ignoring the burning of the blond’s touch, rather liking the pain of the searing scratches on his back.

He lay in a bed he knows isn’t his own, feels the heat radiating off Felix in waves, he sighs for a moment, the sun’s starting to come up and if he’s caught here once Helios turns up to greet his son he’d turn to ash simply due to that fact that he isn’t meant to meet the sun, not ever, he is darkness after all. He opens his eyes, staring at the ceiling before turning his head and the image that greets him makes his heart sink to his stomach. Felix’s roots are black, the roots of his hair are black. The blond seems duller, not the bright newly bleached it was last night, it’s faded out and his roots are fucking black. 

He sits up, he can’t stay here, he’s hurting Felix, corrupting him. There’s a voice in his mind screaming to stay, to turn Felix to darkness, to rid him from the son and keep him in Kai’s shadow forever, he doesn’t listen to it. He tries to be as quiet as possible, but his own pounding headache and burning wounds make that effort fruitless. When he’s pulled his shirt that reeks of smoke- god does he need a cigarette right now- over his head he sees Felix staring at him, eyes wide and head tilted as he sits up. Fuck

“What are you doing? Where are you going?” Felix’s voice is still groggy from sleep as he rubs his eyes, it’s cute but Kai’s mind is a mess of voices and he can’t focus on that, he doesn’t want to answer, but his mouth speaks faster than his mind in the way it always does. “Home, last night was a mistake, i'm going home and sleeping it off” he says, voice monotone and the perfect parallel of his fathers which he hated as a child. He won't be going home, and he definitely won't be sleeping, his thoughts running too fast for that, but he needs to get out of here, he’s panicked and he hates being panicked. “What?” Felix asks, suddenly awake as he sits up fully, his voice cracks and Kai knows he just tore out Felix’s heart but he can’t fucking stop.

He has a tendency to hurt those around him, he doesn’t want to but his instincts perceive any unwanted feelings as danger and his mind will do anything to get him away from it, especially say things he doesn't mean, things he wishes would never have been uttered from his lips. “I said last night was a mistake, and I'm going home” He turns, he can’t look at Felix anymore, his eyes hurt, he doesn’t know if it's the tears he’s pushing back or the faint glow around the blond, but he needs out.  His feet carry him, but the fire that encompasses his wrist pulls him back as Felix stands before him, body littered with bruises that were brought on by pleasure, eye’s brimming with tears that look golden in the rising sun, as if his words made the demigod cry ichor. Such a holy substance, Kai thinks, he is undeserving of it. “What do you mean by mistake? I laid my heart bare for you and-” Felix is pleading, trying to convince himself that this is just a bad dream, that years of pining wasn’t for nothing, that last night, the night he’s dreamed of, it wasn’t for nothing.

Kai rips his wrist from Felix's hold, not because he wants to but because it burns, he’d imagine the flames of tartarus wouldn’t hurt as much as Felix's touch currently does. A demigod's power is heightened by emotion but Kai has repressed his own for so long that compared to the light before him, the light of his life, that he is weak. He can still feel last night's touches flaming against his skin, happy that he’s wearing something to cover the marks. Felix doesn’t need to know what he does to Kai, he won’t be able to live with that guilt and Kai knows that. “It was a mistake. We were both drunk and horny and that's all it was”  

A tear falls from Felix’s eye, it hits the ground with a sizzle, burning through the wood, he doesn’t notice, but Kai does. “You don’t mean that” his voice is wavering, eyes brimming with more tears and the room seems impossibly hotter. Kai doesn’t respond, he’s good at lying, but not good enough to say he does and show Felix he means it. He watches in silence as more tears fall from Felix’s face into the ground, burning through the wood like a cigarette bud to paper. “I hate you” Felix says, “You don’t” Kai responds immediately. 

“I hate that I don’t” Felix knows Kai’s right, but it hurts, it feels like a sword pierced his heart, the tears that fall from his eyes feel like their burning his own skin (because they are Felix, you’re hurting yourself), he can’t deny Kai’s words but he wishes he could. The room is filled with silence again, wishes that come from both of the demigods' hearts floating in the air yet not reaching the other, reality pulling them back. Miscommunication is a fucked trope, one Felix never liked, a shame he’s caught trapped in it now. Falling in love with a man who would die before telling Felix the truth, that he loves him, that he’s willing to die if it means Felix could touch him. But he doesn’t because he knows Felix would die before hurting him, and somehow in Kai’s twisted, dark veiled mind, pushing away the person who sees the good in him, pushing away Felix is his best option. He turns again and walks out the door, strangely missing the burn of Felix’s wrist on his skin as he walks.

It’s weird, he does not want to burn, yet he yearns for the pain when he doesn’t. His mind hates it, but his heart needs it to continue pumping in his chest, his soul can not stay whole without it. But ruining what’s good has always been something Kai’s done, he’s learned that from his father, creating a veil of darkness over his life is what he’s used to, Felix makes him wish he wasn’t.

“You” the door to Kai’s room slams open as his sister stands in the doorway, her finger pointed at him as she's hunched over and panting heavily as if she'd ran here, she supports herself on her knees as the finger that was previously pointing at him is now held up in a ‘give me a minute’ motion. 

“Me?” Kai asks from where he lays on his bed, cigarette in hand as he stares up at his ceiling, it's dark in his room, his curtains drawn and blocking out the setting sun, only light from his lamp. He sighs after a moment, sitting up and flicking some of his cigarettes ash into the ashtray he's holding as he looks at his sister. He knows why she's here, knows that out of the thousands of missed calls and messages on his phone she's at least half of them, but the device is left forgotten on the floor in a corner of his room and he doesn't have the willpower to get it. 

“You! How could you be so stupid I mean you-” Kyu already starts her ranting as she walks into the room, but stops once she sees the state of her brother, her former discontent now turning into worry as she stares at him, her open mouth closing as she seems to contemplate her next words. “You look like a fucking mess” she sighs, walking over and grabbing the cigarette from his lips, putting it out as she takes the ashtray from his hands and placing it on his desk ignoring his whining. 

“Come one I rarely smoke, you could've let me atleast finish it” he says and she simply gives him a look in response, he flops back onto his bed, “I'm guessing you talked to Felix?” his words are cautionary, almost as if he's afraid to say them. She repeats his sentence in a mocking tone, “of course I talked to Felix because the sun was fucking beaming so hard today I could barely walk outside- and when I did go to his room everythings burnt to ashes and his hair is fucking black and he's crying ichor and-” her ranting is cut of as Kai whips his head to her, “his hair was black?”

She stops her pacing as she looks at him, “yeah? he didn't seem like he realised till I pointed it out but I thought that was your doing?” she looks at his face now, the redness of his eyes, the split in his lips from how he's bitten them. He smells like sweat and cigarettes, like he always did when he was upset. He'd found his way of coping, even if that was ignoring everything in favor of working out till he couldn't anymore and then ruining his lungs, but he was coping nonetheless. 

“No when I left him only his roots were darker not his- fuck” Kai’s hands reach for his head, covering his face. Kyu sighs before she sits next to him, “tell me what happened, because right now I only know what Felix told me and that is not a good thing” she looks down at her brother sympathetically and he hates it. 

“We slept together” Kai shrugs, acting as if his words don't hold the weight that they do. “Kai, we both know it's more than that” the knowing tone of her voice reaches his ears and as much as he loves his sister he just wants to tell her to shut up. “I told him it was a mistake” he finally lets out with a sigh. There's silence, and he doesn't look at his sister's face, he can't, knowing her face will only reflect the disappointment he feels in himself. 

“why? I mean why- you've loved that boy since you met him why would you-” Kyu doesn't understand, she can never understand. Felix isn't made for him, he's made to hurt him. “His roots were black” Kai cuts her off, “what?” She looks confused, not understanding why a problem that could be fixed by a simple dye job is the reason for the sudden animosity between the two. 

“Kyu, I kissed him and gods if it wasn't the best thing i'd ever experienced -  He was everything i'd ever wanted and it felt almost sinful to touch him but I did because I just couldn't not anymore, he told me he loved me and for a moment, for a second I let myself believe that maybe even the darkest of Chthonic’s could have the light of love, but then I woke up.  I woke up and the roots of his hair were black, I'd corrupted him simply by touching him. I felt so ashamed, because I knew better, I should've known better and then when he touched me it burned. I mean sure he was always a little warm, and when it happened during sex I just thought he lost control of his powers but he tried to reach out to be and his touch burned and I just-” Kai takes a breath, not choking back a sob, he doesn't cry, has long since forgone the action, but sometimes he wishes he would, thinks it would be easier to let out his emotions that way. 

“Our powers react to our emotions, they act up in defense of us, he burned me, he was scared of me” Kai admits, he hates the words that roll off his tongue, like venom that he desperately needs to spit out before it infiltrates his veins and overtakes his mortal body. “Was he scared of you, or was he scared that you would leave?” Kyu asks after a moment of silence, when she'd taken in her brother's words, Kai’s mind stops. 

“He was scared” is all he says, like he's confirming the situation to himself, “I can't - I can't have him being scared because of me” he finishes, no matter why, he doesn't want to mix any negative feelings with Felix's positive ones, he would rather drown himself in the river styx. 

“Kai,“ his sister sighs, as if she's talking to a child her voice is gentle, yet not demeaning, it still doesn't make him feel better, “I promise you he wasn't scared of you, I know what being scared of someone you love looks like- and the Felix I saw before I came here was a mess of a man filled with loss. If he was scared of losing you- then that isn't a bad thing. Being scared to lose someone is what it is to be in love, you're scared and yet you still dive in anyway, because you'll be with them. Kai from what I saw, Felix isn't better off without you, not in the way you think he is.“

Kai lets her words sink in each sentence sitting heavier on his chest, “you want me to talk to him” Kai doesn't ask, his words are a statement, he knows his sister, and while she would never push him she was very persistent. Kai stands up, already accepting the fact that he needs to fix his mistake of calling what happened a mistake, but she stops him. “Don't go no, It's dark out, go in the morning, when the sun is bright, meet him in his domain, an olive branch of sorts. Show him you're willing to be vulnerable, it'll mean a lot more” she stands up, pushing him back softly as she moves to the door, only bidding him a smile goodbye as he nods in response, she knows she needs to leave, to let him

think about what he wants to say, what he needs to say. 

It's strange, he's not even in Felix's room and yet he can feel the heat radiating from it, the wood of the door charred, doorknob melted off, all he has to do is push, one simple push and he'll be able to see Felix. Such a simple action feels so difficult, his arm heavy as if lifting it up to open the door would be the most fatigue-inducing task he'd ever complete. 

There are no sounds coming from Felix's room, he didn't expect that, he'd expected screaming, crying even just heavy breathing and yet it's completely silent. The silence of the room is louder than his own heartbeat. His body leads when his mind is dull, walking through the door, it's second nature for his body, instinct to walk into Felix's room. Many nights spent laughing and talking with him, yet in his heart he knows it's different, that nothing will ever be the same despite the outcome of what will happen when he is in this room.

His eyes land on Felix, he's the only solid in the room, sitting atop a once white bed, his clothes burned, bedding black and ashfilled, gold tear tracks running down his face, eyes open and dead, unblinking and staring past Kai, through him. The room is dark, burned down despite the sun shining into it.  Kai mistakes the man before him for a child of the dead, he is unmoving, unblinking, no breath from his bleeding lips, no more tears from his golden rimmed eyes, his hair as dark as Kai’s own shadow. This isn't Felix, not the one he knows, not the one he fell in love with. 

Kai hears the whispers of Minho and I.N behind him, they're worried, rightfully so, but they shouldn't see Felix like this, no one should. Kai doesn't  want others to see what he's done to his light, lest they take it away from him forever. 

He closes the door, a newly formed resolve steeled in his blackened heart, he'll love Felix, even if he needs to burn, because he'd rather die in Felix's flames, than watch him succumb to his own. No one knows what was said that morning, what happened that day, it's a secret, a moment in time shared only between the two, a moment not even seen nor heard by the sun, one just for them. 

No one else was in the room where it happened, but that's a good thing, for the forced solitude of darkness and light brought forth a new beginning for the pair, one rocky, one painful and filled with heartache, but a beautiful path nonetheless.

Funfact! Spicy isn't actually a flavor, we don't taste spicy, capsaicin the chemical that causes it to be spicy, actually activates heat receptors so we don't taste spicy we feel it! If Stone Monkeys are the same then Yuebei must be a real dare devil as a little cub

Referencing some silliness in the notes here.

true! This also includes piperine (found in peppercorns) and allyl isothiocyanate (wasabi, radish & mustard). Your brain basically goes "tf? why is there a tiny fire in my mouth?". A similar sensation occurs in the opposite direction with menthol (mint) where your body is convinced that you just ate snow.

Wukong especially dislikes hot and/or spicy foods due to trauma from being fed molten metal under the mountain. No spicy foods in his house unless there's expressed warning.

Macaque doesn't get what the big deal is at first - it's just seasoning?? Until he accidentally grabs a handful of Mei's wasabi chips and regrets it as he tries quenching the fire with milk.

MK I feel like has a love/hate relationship with spicy food. It's SO GOOD under the perfect circumstances, but so painful! Powers through Red Son's cooking just to be a good guest. DBK walks in moments later with plain BBQ dishes for the monkeys wondering wtf is the little thief doing?

Little stone monkeys like Rumble & Savage, and Luzhen do not care for spicy food either. Little kids don't have that tolerance anyway. Minty things might get a pass if there's ice cream or sweets involved.

Stone Monkeys (along with most unaccustomed animals) in general do not seem to like these confusing sensations.

Except little Yuebei Xing; who deliberately seems to seek these flavours out. In the Slow Boiled au she even tries absorbing the Samadhi Fire but taps out cus it was too spicy. In multiple others she straight up absorbs/eats LBD's soul - very cold. Her parents are very confused, especially since her little brothers Jidu and Luohuo have very normal reactions to spicy things (disgust).
