#honestly I am always looking for girls with swords to appreciate

[bonjourxrenae]

Does girls with sword include Saber from Fate? Or is there a particular girl with sword you like

Are you referring to my girls with swords tag? I generally use that tag for any photo, art, or fanart featuring girls with swords that comes across my dashboard (or that I come across in my travels!)

I think Saber is super neat!!! :) It's been a hot second since I've seen any of the Fate series (I watched Fate/Stay Night a while ago, and picked back up with Unlimited Blade Works, then stopped somewhere around Fate/Zero) but she's so iconic!!

The sword girls I usually blog about here include (but are not limited to!):

Hu.ngary, Nyotalia!Li.thuania and Nyotalia!Po.land (Hetalia: World Series)

Lucina (Fire Emblem: Awakening)

Utena Tenjou, Juri Arisugawa, and pretty much most of the cast of Revolutionary Girl Utena

Gideon Nav, and tbh most of the cast of The Locked Tomb series

You’ll never guess who’s back, ANYHOW

Okay I am totally 100% hearing you out on trapeze artist kenny, so now I graciously request your role assignments of sp characters in a circus au 🙏🙏

HIII always grateful to see your asks!!

okay so I had to search up circus rolls so I’m going off of this one reddit post I found

this post may be a bit long (when isn’t it lmaoo)

Ringmaster: Cartman. -> he would immediately assign himself this position but he would mysteriously get a lot of funding so no one has the guts to overthrow him. Is your stereotypical neglectful ringleader who acts like a tyrant. I’ve also decided to add Wendy as his co-ringmaster or assistant because she’d be the one keeping him in check and managing basically everything while Cartman manages finance. He hates working alongside her but she’s a key worker for his circus and she’s GOOD at her job so he can’t really do anything. Always rips on her though.

Strongman: okay. LISTEN. I’m going to put Gregory here. He’s a blond British political man. His hair also looks like a stereotypical Ken doll. He’d be the generic strong blond who bends iron bars and the crowd goes wild.

Contortionist: Tweek seems like the type to freak other kids out with his hyper mobility and the ability to bend his fingers all the way back. He’d make a mean contortionist except for when he’s having a bad day and can’t fathom the thought of being stuck in a small cube

Ariel Artist/trapeze artist: as mentioned before, Kenny is THE perfect fit for this. He’s got a knack for shooting himself out of canons and walking precariously on thin rope. I just feel like he’d be a really loose limbed guy. All his fears disappeared years ago, his deaths making him reckless.

Acrobats: I feel like the girls (Heidi, Bebe and Red) would be the acrobats. They would have colour coordinated fits and would already have a history of gymnastics. Bebe would also be on silks.

Fire Performer/knife throwing: Kyle immediately came to mind because I feel like he’d have a stick up his ass about safety and then the dude goes on to shove swords of fire down his throat. Also red hair equals fire OBVIOUSLY 🙄

Manipulator (aka the juggler, plate spinner, hat tricks): Butters because can you imagine him on a tricycle juggling with balls and clown face paint? Because I certainly can and Cartman gets a lot of amusement out of it (sorry butters)

Fortune Teller: Henrietta. No further notes.

Animal tamer: Good ol’ animal lover enthusiast Stan. He’d be dangerously protective over his animals and would shoot down any of Cartmans performance plans that would put the animals at risk.

Stilts: Craig. No reason why just, Craig.

Musician: Jimmy. Cartman attempted to make Jimmy a ‘freak’ for the circus but his music is just that good

Magician: Clyde would be those dorky magicians who’s embarrassed himself several times before but he’s getting better. The crowd always thinks his fails are a part of the act so it works

Horses/Extreme Dressage: Tolkein would still manage to stay elegant while working in a circus. He’s just like that. He also LOVES his horse.

If this is a stendy au, Stan would be jealous and HATE Gregory’s flirting with Wendy because he knows that Gregory knows how attractive he himself is and being a strongman and all and Stan is stuck being a vegan animal trainer :,)

Knowing Cartman he probably has a ‘freaks’ section but I honestly don’t even want to go into that because we all know it’s full of minorities 😓

This is honestly really messy and really bad because I just discovered several of these circus roles in the last five minutes. I tried to match the characters to their job as best as I could but honestly I can’t say I’m super satisfied (not the worst I still like a few roles) 💔

anyways thanks for reading this far and I super duper appreciate this ask and don’t hesitate to send through any more!!

let me know your thoughts

[gingermintpepper]

I spent something like six and a half hours in the hospital today so day 6 of my challenge is being further postponed but, in the lieu of not doing any drawing, I did end up rereading Ovid's Metamorphoses in between waiting and I just wanted to offer some of my favourite underrated bits.

Cadmus and Harmonia's twin transformations into snakes is so gentle? Cadmus goes first, transformed mid plea for his wife to caress him one last time before his face is completely covered in scales, then he rests gently between her boobs and wraps around her neck and shoulders like a big snake gorget. Harmonia follows him shortly and the two snakes intertwine with each other before gently slithering off into the bushes and I love that actually mwah mwah mwah (I also appreciate the sweet irony of Cadmus who slew a snake for his glory becoming a snake, toothless and gentle in the last of his days)

Everything about Perseus was hilarious. Like, I'm sorry - I've never done a lot of reading into Perseus but I did always remember the banquet massacre and the Andromeda rescuing and like, bro I know it's not meant to be funny but Perseus is funny. I think it's his politeness honestly? He goes up to Atlas and is like "hello kind sir, may I please stay a night in your lands? I've travelled an awful long way and I am weary and hungry. If you only accept noble guests, rest assured, I am of noblest birth and have completed the noblest of deeds. 🥺" and Atlas takes one look at him, has a That's So Raven vision about the one time Themis gave him a prophecy about a son of Jove stealing his apples and then told Perseus to kick rocks. So Perseus, like the well adjusted and noble individual that he is, turns Atlas into a mountain with Medusa's head. This is how a great many of Perseus' stories unfold. It is actually hysterical.

I am going to give a special shoutout to Athis and Lycabas who were two young lovers in attendance at Perseus and Andromeda's blood wedding. Athis died first - a skilled archer who never got to shoot and was burnt and bludgeoned across the face with a wedding brazier. When Lycabas saw that his dear friend's beauty was ruined, he picked up the fight against Perseus himself in Athis' name and was slashed to strips by Perseus' sword. Lycabas managed to drag himself over to Athis in his last moments and died beside him, so I thought that was a particularly touching bit of beauty in the otherwise extremely tragic blood wedding.

No one can ever make me feel bad for Niobe. In a lot of the Greek accounts I've read and heard, because they tend to be much shorter or references in a wider narrative, it's hard to really grasp how insanely disrespectful she was to Leto (not that her boasting she should be the goddess of motherhood to the actual goddess of motherhood isn't worthy of death and destruction enough) but Ovid really did go the extra mile to dig it home how far down her throat this lady put her foot because even at her sons' seven way funeral she did not stop boasting about how she was still glorious. I did find it interesting that the seemingly innocuous detail of Apollo killing off the boys first and then Artemis killing the girls was kept cross-culturally, I assume it's because boys were more auspicious than girls in both cultures.

The detail of Athena bonking Arachne constantly with a wooden box and her being transformed into a spider because she begged to not be bonked to death. Also very interestingly, in Ovid's account, it's not a clear victory for Athena against Arachne - she gets flustered at the depictions of her relatives' affairs and rips the tapestry up - the judges didn't actually get a chance to opine. This is in contrast to the contest the Muses sang about where their representative Calliope unilaterally won against the daughters of Pierus.

The account of Apollo and Marsyas was much shorter than I remember it being. I recall it being touted as one of the more vicious and visceral tales in Metamorphoses' collection but it included neither the details of Marsyas' contest against Apollo, nor Apollo's feelings (or even any dialogue from him!) throughout his peeling of Marsyas' skin. Instead it is wholly focused on Marsyas - on describing the physical gore of his exposed veins and contracting muscles and the grief of the rustic crowd as they mourned his loss - which is curious indeed since the entire theme of the poems of Book 6 is divine punishment and it is otherwise filled with rather full accounts of these contests and insults.

Byblis and Caunus made me want to reread Euripedes' Hippolytus for the twelve thousandth time. Caunus made the right call of course but I also very much hoped he would have a huge big speech about incest being bad instead of just smacking the messenger.

And lastly, for now, Jove's speech as Hercules lay burning atop his death pyre where he addresses the host of his gods and goes "Man, wasn't Hercules a great guy? Look, there goes all his mortal attributes burning away in the fire, now he is all my son and surely we are all in agreement that any divine son of mine deserves a place on Olympus :)" was very endearing. I always feel quite bad for Deianira because she truly didn't mean any harm by her gift and I've always wished for an account of Heracles/Hercules' death from her perspective. There could scarcely be a thing more awful, especially given how long and drawn out and incredibly painful Hercules' death was.

Lowkey, I want to take a day and compare Ovid and Euripedes' Medeas. They're both very different women and they both handle their situations very differently. Partially for my own vindication - I adore Medea and Jason equally and since popular fiction cannot speak about Medea without flattening her or making Jason completely monstrous, this is just one of those things I'll have to do myself sometime.

People only like Toji because he's attractive

I saw a comment on Tik Tok saying something along those lines and honestly it didn't sit right with me.

Of course, people are free to have their own opinion and you don't have to like Toji, but I believe that there is much more to his character.

So this is a post where I talk about the things that I personally appreciate about Toji Fushiguro. We'll start simple and get deeper as we go on. So strap yourselves in because this is going to be a long one.

Spoilers for the upcoming season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

First let me start by saying that yes,

Toji is indeed very attractive

Look at this fine specimen of a man. No wonder the fandom goes crazy for him.

His design is certainly aesthetically pleasing. The worm curling around his body and the tight shirt and baggy pants he's wearing emphasize his muscles and tiny waist making your eyes run all over him. His black hair falls on his handsome face nicely and the scar on his lips draws attention to it and adds a little bit of spice, just enough to tie this whole meal together.

He is built like a snack and boy am I hungry!

But enough about his looks. Looks isn't the only thing he has to offer.

Toji has a superhuman body

Similarly to Maki, Toji is affected by Heavenly Restriction. His body is incredibly strong and fast and in exchange he possesses no cursed energy. But he doesn't even need cursed energy to see curses, because his senses are just that sharp and enhanced! He truly is an anomaly and if the jujutsu society recognised his potential instead of abusing him for being different, he would definitely be classified as a special grade sorcerer.

Dude's a beast so he makes any battle that he takes part in fun and exciting to watch. He also had some interesting matchups allowing him to show off how skilled he is as a fighter.

We got to see him battle with Gojo,Geto and a disaster curse, all of them considered special grade and he won all but one of his encounters with them. However, that one loss was from the second battle with Gojo AKA the strongest sorcerer alive, who he almost killed on their first one, so that shows how superior his combat skills can really be.

But Toji doesn't only depend on his body to do the work.

Toji is smart

When tasked with the mission to kill Riko Amanai, instead of charging in right away, he simply sits and waits while others try their hand on the assassination.

But why is Toji waiting?

It's because he knows that Gojo is protecting this girl and he knows what he is capable off, so he chose to take things slow. By putting the money reward for the job on the internet and offering it to anyone who was successful in killing the target, he ensured that the protection squad would be constantly on edge. He even put a time limit on the offer to deceive them into believing that they only needed to be careful for a certain amount of time. As a result, when the time limit had passed and the group let their guard down Toji striked by putting a sword through Gojo's chest, an attack that would be lethal if it weren't faced with such a strong opponent.

He also took advantage of the fact that his lack of cursed energy makes him invisible to the security system of Jujutsu High and to the sorcerers around him. He made sure that his first strike against Gojo was with a normal sword and switched to a cursed tool when the surprise attack didn't work.

But where did that tool come from? And if it has cursed energy wouldn't it be detected?

Well that's where the worm comes in....

So basically, in order to keep the advantage of being invisible due to the lack of cursed energy and to always have weapons available, Toji keeps this cursed spirit on his stomach and whenever he needs something he simply vomits it out and does his thing. Kinda gross but very effective.

Honestly it's terrifying how this man can use his body and anything else that is available to quickly come up with a strategy to kick your ass. Being his opponent must be a total nightmare since Toji is brutal and cares only about one thing and that is money.

Or maybe there is something more........

Toji cares about his family

Now I know what you're going to say and I agree.

Toji is a terrible father.

Not only did he abandon his son but he also sold him to the Zenins. That ain't exactly father of the year material. Despite this, there are moments that show that he loves his family.

One of those moments is when he recalls Megumi and that he was the one who named him. I refuse to believe that Toji woke up and chose a random name for his son, especially since Megumi means Blessing so he must have put some thought into it.

Additionally, in his dying moments he thought about his son and his wife and it was obvious that it's a memory that's dear to him. At first he chose to not say anything when asked about his last words, but changed his mind when he remembered Megumi, informing Gojo that he will be sold in the Zenin family and to do with that as he pleases. That ensured Gojo taking Megumi under his care and protection.

Another moment is when Toji is back as a mindless puppet in Shibuya, fighting purely on instinct the strongest person in the room and when that person happened to be Megumi he froze, his eyes literally softening at the sight of his boy and he regained control long enough to ask a question and then kill himself to ensure that he won't bring him any more harm.

But wait, you may ask, if he cares this much about Megumi why did he abandon and sell him?

Well the answer to that is a simple but sad one.

Toji is a broken man

Toji is a Zenin, a member of one of the most important clans in jujutsu society. But because he was born with no cursed energy he was abused by the family and left it completely unstable.

Look at this panel. His eyes look so empty and tired. This was before he left from the clan and started to work as an assassin.

However, even while he was away from this toxic environment, the damage had been done. Toji definitely had issues regarding his self-worth. He kept trying to prove that someone like him can be strong and defeat sorcerers. He referred to himself as a ''useless monkey who can't even use jujutsu''. He kept saying while selling his son that unlike him, his son had potential since he had a cursed technique.

And in the end, in the battle that led to his death, instead of fleeing, he chose to stay and fight because he was facing Gojo and being able to crush him, the strongest sorcerer alive, would discredit the society that deemed him worthless.

His trauma caused him to ignore his survival instincts and led to his demise.

This trauma was also the reason why he abandoned and sold Megumi. When he met his wife, Toji was able to calm down and become a bit more stable. He loved and really cared about this woman. But she died soon after Megumi was born, leaving Toji once again unstable but with a baby in his care.

At this point, his issues about his worth once again kicked in and he probably felt that he wouldn't be able to raise his son properly. So he sold him to the Zenin family, promising them that the kid would develop a good cursed technique and asking them to take care of him. In his mind, the place that he grew up would be better for Megumi since he had potential.

I'm guessing that before dying he realised that that environment would still be bad even for Megumi so he told Gojo about the deal maybe because he was hopeful that Gojo would help the kid. And of course that's exactly what happened.

So when Toji appears once again in Shibuya and comes face to face with Megumi he asks him a simple question.

What's your name?

And when Megumi replied with Fushiguro instead of Zenin I'm sure that that made Toji feel happy and relieved.

All of this of course doesn't excuse any of his actions but it certainly explains them.

And all of his actions had some effect on the story.

Toji is an important part of the plot

Before he even appears in the anime, Toji has already made his impact. He was considered an anomaly and his mere existence was bound to affect the story in some way.

There were so many moments where we see how he affected it.

By almost killing Gojo, he made him realise his full potential and become the strongest.

By killing Riko Amanai, he caused Geto's spiral and existential crisis leading him to leave Jujutsu High and become a villain, only to later die and have his body used by Kenjaku for his big plan.

By killing Riko Amanai, he also stopped the merging with Master Tengen, something that had massive consequences and would be taken advantage of by Kenjaku in the future.

By telling Gojo about Megumi, he caused Gojo to take him under his protection, training him and raising him with much more care that the Zenin family ever would.

All of these moments are vital.

All of them caused by him.

Toji was an important piece to the whole puzzle of this story and without him Jujutsu Kaisen would not be complete.

And just like that, we have reached the end.

Once again I'd like to say that you can believe whatever you want about Toji but simply reducing him to just an attractive character is a bit of a disservice to him, no?

Apologies for the chaotic writing I have way too many thoughts and can't articulate them properly.

Thank you to anyone who has read this far <3

Mod monomi~ how about a headcanon with Mahiru where she has a boyfriend that likes it when she gets stern. Like he'll get giggly and blushy when she gets stern with them

Mahiru Koizumi x Giggly!Male!Reader

Mahiru reminds me of this girl I knew in middle school who would tell me I wasn’t playing the saxophone right (I wasn’t) When she had literally never picked up a saxophone or any other brass instrument lmfaoooo. I was so annoyed at this girl but we were in art club together so we kinda became frienemies and I lent her my sword art online manga and she returned it six months later with the spine halfway ripped. But I mean I can’t get too mad at her because she unknowingly rescued me from the SAO fandom.

-Mod Monomi

♡ Mahiru has high expectations for her boyfriend… Or at least she thinks she does.

♡ She’s the type who always crows at you to keep your dorm clean, get your work done, and take good care of yourself.

♡ Regardless of this, she doesn’t mind dropping everything to help you do them (Or do them for you), giving you a “Jeez, you’re so hopeless.” or a “What would you boys do without us girls?” Even if you were fully willing and capable to do it on your own.

♡ Mahiru would never admit it but she loved taking care of you. Usually, she treats you nicer than most, scolding you in a more teasing way, but she could still crack down on you like you like an annoyed mother. 

♡ She noticed that you seemed to find it funny when she spoke like this. At first, she found it a bit annoying. After a while though she was genuinely upset about it. 

♡ Were you not taking her feelings seriously? Did you not appreciate all she did for you? Did you even care about her? These were all things Mahiru wondered about during this period. She just didn’t know how to communicate that to you. 

♡ Until one day she just kind of… Blew up…

♡ “Hey Y/N! How did you do on your test today?” 

♡ “Oh um… Honestly not too well… I have to make it up…”

♡ “Ugh, what am I gonna do with you?”

♡ “Heheheh! Sorry, Mahiru!” You chuckled, your bad mood disappearing suddenly. Mahiru scoffed. 

♡ “God, you men… You’ll just laugh at anything won’t you!?” You laughed and blushed, pulling her closer to your side. Mahiru grunted again and pushed you away. She shouted at you “Do you even appreciate anything I do at all?! I try so hard for you and you think it’s funny?!” She looked angrier than you had ever seen, unlike all of the other times she ever scolded you. 

♡ After that, you finally had the dreaded conversation. You explained that it wasn’t that you didn’t appreciate everything she did, you just thought she was so cute when she got all strict with you. At first, she was stunned and even happy on the inside. And then her reaction was, well, certainly in character.

♡ “You mean… You like it when I talk to you like that…?” Mahiru didn’t know what to say… Just what to think. “Is that like… Some perverted boy thing?” She asked, scrunching her nose.

♡ After this is explained to her, she doesn’t mind you doing it anymore, since deep down, she’d do anything to see your smile! <3

♡ Love you darlings!!

My Demon Finale + Final Thoughts

Ok My Demon was cute. I really appreciated that the last episode was mostly all wrapping things up. We got resolution on every character, each completed their arc or did what was natural for them.

We had just the right amount of angst for this story - the villains were scary, but not enough to turn this into more of a thriller than a romance, or to detract too much from the ultimately happy ending. Sure they were nice and twisted and messed up, following the well formulated pattern. I don't need anything more.

And I really did love the 'good guy' characters in this show - I never felt like any side was getting too much attention at the cost of another or of the story.

For like the first half of this show I thought her not-cousin (you know the smart one/second male lead) was gonna turn out to be evil. Like I was convinced that psycho-dad was just a distraction. I'm really happy I was wrong. Also thrilled to see him become absolute besties with Gu-won. In fact I am more thrilled than Gu-won is.

Similarly happy for sword-dance girl, who kept saying she was leaving to the point I was like 'then why haven't you?' and then when she's about to, she finds a reason (a real reason) to stay. I feel like she and psycho-dad's wife will do a lot of good for children in the future.

Seeing the son before his dad could completely destroy him was a somewhat formulaic choice, but it's a formula for a reason, and I did really feel for him. Even before that, I had hoped he would survive. everything and be able to heal. The writing/acting choices for his character were good in that, in most of his interactions with Do Do-He, I felt like something non-villainous was behind the curtain - even before the abuse was revealed. I couldn't tell if he liked her or was trying to warn her or was looking for her to save him, but I appreciated that the reveal that he wasn't the villain actually had some foundation. I'm glad he was posthumously cleared and that his mom will hopefully learn from this shit to help others.

Eunni with her two sons continue to be ridiculous, but harmless as always. A nice bow-tie comedic moment. Sure she was one of the 'bad guys' but they're always there, and considering the rest of her family, she honestly was the most normal. And I think the narrative did try to show that she was at least a good mom.

Ms. Shin and the past lives/aka Fuck You guy! They are so weird for each other and I love that for them. Not me though. Did not need more of their makeouts. I freaking loved Ms. Shin throughout everything though. Such a good balance of no-nonsense with compassion.

Our comedic relief third wheels - the PR trio and the dogs/parsnips - both fun. The ex-mob brows definitely won for me (they did have a dog). Every time Gu-won wouldn't acknowledge them my heart broke a little. Glad the writers understood that and gave us their happy ending.

I liked this portrayal of God. Very 'I don't know what the fuck is going on either but good luck' with a side of compassion rather than just dropping riddles and life lessons (those were learned along the way anyway). Felt more realistic.

And for the main couple, I'm happy we got to see their version of a silly fight, because couples fight, and that makes me believe their happy ending more (also so thankful to have a show with a demon main character have his love interest play hymns and prayers when they're arguing).

I really thought when Gu-won came back, he'd be human, and it'd be all 'perfect.' But I kind of love that he's a demon and the little-shitness of his character as a demon (yet is afraid of pissing off his wife who puts stickers on his demon manual). Also good for Do Do-hee having a demon on speed dial is useful af.

Anyway, they established that she'd continue to age and eventually die, and that it was ok because impermanence is what makes this, and every moment, so not insignificant. I felt like he would happily accompany her beyond when the time comes, but for the time being they're able to live knowing every second matters, the good and the bad, and be happy to have them.

A sweet show with a sweet ending; just what I needed tonight.

"Harriet often comes to me to talk about the wonders of true love."

"Your fingertips are a little cold. May I warm them with my hands?"

"May the world be at peace…Hmm? You're face is all tense. Perhaps you were trying to make my wish come true."

"To be strong isn't so much a wish. It is more a commitment."

"Would you like some coffee too? It's my favorite brand. Be careful not to get burned."

"This tomato soup is excellent. I look relaxed for once? It's a little embarrassing when you point it out."

"This is the first time I've ever seen this art form. Is it called "latte art?" Mine…Has a bear on it. Yours is a rabbit. Ha, both are adorable. But isn't this a waste of a drink?"

"You're the only one who has ever played with my hair…Of course, I don't mind…"

"When I deal with you, I'm unexpectedly relaxed…I'm not blaming you…I'm just confused."

"You're the only person I'd ever allow this kind of contact with."

"How long has it been since I met you?"

"To be able to share my warmth and open up to someone like this…? To be honest, I'm still shocked."

"In order to repay your kindness, I promise to work even harder in the future."

"I appreciate your feelings, but I want to keep my hands free."

"I am humbled by your concern."

"You shouldn't touch me so inappropriately. Especially because you are a beautiful young woman. Some people will get the wrong idea."

━

ALEX : I wonder what everyone in Chevalier is doing right now. I hope they're spreading they're wings as much as they can. EMILIO : I'd like to show them we had a fun time on vacation too. Let's get some souvenirs when we head home.

ALEX : House party decorations…I'm not familiar with this kind of thing. Idio, may I ask your opinion? IDIO : Well, I don't really know, but wouldn't it be nice to have stars or something?

━

ALEX : Shall we fight side by side again? EMILIO : It's always an honor, Commander.

asoryuu for the ship bingo maybe?

Hello, Anon! 💗💓💗💞💝💖💕 Thank you for the ask; I love and appreciate you v much <3

Send a ship for the ship bingo!

Asoryuu (spoilers for DGS after the bingo sheet!):

Okay, Asoryuu is an interesting one for me because I just like. Don't think about them that often. WSLDHDK Let me just explain what I mean by the above boxes, I think I can be coherent.

They got the Romeo and Juliet box purely because they're in Meiji era Japan -- rip to them -- but Asoryuu to me is very... one-sided? Like, I do think they're half-canon in the sense that Kazuma is almost 100% obsessed with Ryuunosuke in some way, but I don't think Ryuunosuke reciprocates those feelings or is even aware of them. He strikes me as the kind of person who wouldn't get that a person's in love with him even if they punched him in the face with their confession. So like. Meiji-era homoerotic subtlety would just go right over his head to me shskdgsk. I know a lot of people point to the 'carrying on Kazuma's mission in London' thing as evidence that Ryuunosuke is/was in love with him, because he wouldn't do that if they were just friends, but idk!! I would do that for my best friend honestly?? Especially if I didn't have a path in life that I felt strongly about, and my bestie was certain that I was cut out for whatever was in London? And then they died?? Idk, I've always seen that as an honour to the dead thing rather than a strictly romantic thing. I think what I consider most important to their relationship is that they are friends and that there is love there, no matter what kind or to what intensity. I don't think the one-sided longing (if it exists) would affect their bond in any way, and I think that's lovely. Oh, and they got the 20 years box because it would probably take that much time of hinting for Ryuunosuke to even consider the possibility of them being more than friends, and because Kazuma needs about as much time to properly process everything he's been through and maybe start looking at Ryuunosuke through lighter rose-tinted lenses.

I don't have really have strong feelings about Asoryuu either way, and I think that's for several reasons. The first is because Kazuma... Does very little for me WDSJDGJ I like him!! But I wasnt immediately attached to him from the moment I met him the way I think a lot of people were. I felt a lot more for him when he died, but his coming back struck me more plot-wise than emotionally wjsgskshjsjk Ryuunosuke, on the other hand, is my favourite attorney ever. I love him SO much, so like. Very uneven set of priorities here. Another reason is because I generally don't like devotion? When it comes to ships? I find it weird, and, while I think Kazuma has a pretty grounded view of Ryuunosuke, there's definitely a bit of that 'you saved me' narrative happening that I think they'll need to work through first.

The final, and probably largest reason to why I don't feel anything for them, is because it has a tendency of undermining Susato's relationship with both of them and her role in the narrative itself. I'm so. God. Ryuunosuke may be my favourite attorney, but Susato-san is my favourite girl ever. She is my world. I would kill for her. And, like, a LOT of what is taken to be Asoryuu moments/wins ignores how important Susato-san was in those instances!! Ryuunosuke carrying on Kazuma's mission in London? Part of that was because it was also Susato's dream to go to London! Ryuunosuke taking on Kazuma's soul? Guess who literally gave it to him!! Bringing Kazuma back from the dead?? He didn't!!!!! It was Susato-san who yelled his name and reminded him of who he was!!!!!!! It was in a cutscene!!!!! I am!!! Screaming!!!!! Begging Capcom to stop positioning her like a side character in favour of having Asoryuu standing side-by-side, swords crossed, the sun rising behind them when she's the literal deuteragonist -- I have seen the official art and things need to change.

And I would say that I'd like the ship if they did keep Susato-san around, but honestly? Isn't it just another thing she has to take at the end of the day? She spent years in vain trying to reach Kazuma, and then along comes this boy he's known for half of university and sweeps him away. Like it's easy. Like it's nothing. And of course she would be happy for them; she loves them. She has to be happy for them. There is no other option. It just strikes me like it's that thing with her father and Holmes all over again! it's just another relationship she has to accept, and!! Hasn't she done enough?!?!??! God. Her.

[chronicvagabonds]

it's funny how you want me to refresh your memory but after reading your reply, i might as well just copy and paste it because we're very similar when it comes to our faves lmaoskjds 💀

bleach is the only big, long anime/manga that i really got into besides inuyasha (my beloved) and it's been on my mind so much recently. the following yapping is most likely not spoilerfree

little teenage me watched the only episodes available (like what 10 years ago atp?) and couldn't get enough, so i switched to manga as well and read the entire thing lol

since they've picked up the anime again recently (thousand blood war arc) i've been getting back into watching it for nostalgia reasons but also because the recent animations REALLY do give the manga the appreciation it needed (imo)

you 🤝 urahara 🤝 me. bc why is he just so sksjkdfm. such a tease, but so helpful but also mysterious and honestly not someone you should naively trust with your life but that's what unfortunately makes him so great 💀 even more when they drop crumbs of his lore and backstory. honestly, might as well add yoruichi (miss thunderbeast black cat) into this mix bc both of them go hand in hand. 😤 my ultimate bleach crushes

adding to the list of shinigamis that i love would be Kenpachi with Yachiru. god, i love that guy 😩😩😩 everything about him. from his looks, to his manners (or lack of), background, how he became a captain, just big guy swing big sword but soft spot for little girl (whose bankai reminds me a lot of them hehe). AND KENPACHI'S BANKAI KSNDKJBD AS IF THIS MAN COULDN'T TURN INTO AN EVEN WORSE BERSERKER 👹👹👹 love that he didn't cast aside his usual demeanor when he "had to figure out his zanpakuto's name" to be able to use its powers properly (instead of just reishi zapping everywhere) and this guy just went something like "i don't care about your name. as long as you want to break and slice through shit as much as i do, we'll work great" and did 💀💀💀💀

ulquiorra was my MAN 😩😩 i used to draw him and grimmjow (he was just the perfect amount of assholey and friendly, plus his panthersuit meooow~) all. the. time. he's just my little emo boy trying to figure out the concept of humanity and what makes someone human. and omg. if the moment you mention between orihime and him is the same one i'm thinking of then.. 👀

i sent you an ask in the first place because i had watched the scene where he goes something like "tell me, what is a heart? if i tore a hole in your chest, would i see it? if i split open your skull, would it be there?.. i see now, in the palm of my hand.. is a heart." and i just thought 'damn, this is something yumi would write and ruin me with' and now we're here 🤪 tite kubo knew what he was doing when he put orihime and ulquiorra together. a living being, incarnation of love, healing and care with a being that only has a 'hollow heart', so so perceptive to everything but so clueless when it comes to orihime's warmth. just heartbreaking 😭

other arrancars that i took a 'liking' to are nelliel, nnoitra and szayelaporro. for nelliel, i would have loved more screentime in her adult form. she just seemed like such a sweetheart (in contrast to a lot of arrancar nature). when it comes to nnoitra it's entirely based on his concept and transformation bc he's probably one of the more dickheaded and nasty arrancars lmao. and i am a big sucker for scythes which he has plenty of when in his praying mantis form. just the unhinged nature. speaking of, i wouldn't even look in szayelaporro's direction if i could but the only reason he's on the list is bc of his fight with mayuri *shudders* 🫥🫥 something about tite kubo putting the two "scientists" against each other and one's concept is fertility/rebirth and the other.. re-creation of life but through science and immoral means lmao. i remember feeling so icky watching that fight.

my favorite arc has always been with the arrancars and hueco mundo. all of them representing a sin or emotion and the concept of 'hollow hearts' just intrigues me so much. really there's a lack of.. social etiquette in those vast lands which portrays every arrancar in such unique ways. and i'm just soo in for the hollowfication of characters (that one hollow ichigo form where he's just fully transformed and looks like a deviled bull?? *groans*)

speaking of icky, quincys are meant to be this holy and/or royal bloodline but a lot of their powers are far from anything i'd call holy 💀 maybe only in the sense that any normal human being would collapse in their presence (queue angel's true form "do not be afraid") äs nödt, giselle, gremmy and liltotto make it on my list of.. interesting quincys. you can just throw äs nödt and giselle into one and the same box of fuckign creppy, help me. äs nödt's only flaw being that it fears dying and going to hell when it itself is THE incarnation of FEAR ITSELF and uses it in its fight against rukia (which btw one of the most gorgeous bankais hands-down) and giselle who can form her own little zombie army just 🤺🤺🤺 BACK I SAID!!! i love that gremmy's strength and flaw is his mind. he embodies the concept of mental strength but also manifestation with it and it's oddly.. a very human concept? but it ends up bringing him to ruins when he loses grasp on his.. confidence but feels at peace all the same? especially in the fight against zenpaki (who is just as confident in himself) it felt like such a nice ending? idk and the only reason i love liltotto is because of their concept. small girl, surrounded by eccentric quincy girlies, goes chomp chomp, always hungry and just deadpans at everything. my bestie <33

one of my favorite episodes are probably whenever Kon (ichigo's stuffed animal) would take over his body lmao. everything was usually so intense and brutal but (usually) not when ichigo was back home, bedresting. but also that one episode where all the captain's showed up in his room during his recovery i- 💀💀💀 they relied on him TOO much

honourable mention of aizen's and ichigo's fight. i remember holding my breath. how do you defeat THE ORIGINAL MANIPULATOR?!? but laaawd. their "final" forms looked so GEEEEWWDDD 🫨🫨🫨 rip 😪

omfg you can tell i never got to just absolutely yapp someone's ear off about this franchise. there is so much i ended up deleting. i might as well just write the manga myself when i have so much to say. bleach enthusiasts (who love the story and characters more than they spend time arguing about if fillers were necessary or not) are so so rare. 😭 so DEFINITELY hit me up, hit me up when you 🫵 pick it up or wanna yap about it again. and now that you mention it and after talking about it so much i wanna go back and re-read it 😣 i might wait for them to finish the anime (end 2024 i believe unless they prolong the arc) first though.

i was snooping around your blog and saw that you also like bleach (the anime/manga) 👀 are you still following the new seasons or did you stop at some point?

do you have any favorite: character, shinigami (shikai/bankai), arrancar (abilities/resurrecion), quincy/sternritter (abilities/shift), visored, hollows, arcs? special moments that have stuck with you (positively/negatively)?

it's so rare for me to find someone else into it lol so you got me curious now~

•🃏

omgg when i tell you that bleach is the love of my life, possibly my fav manga ever (or at least one of my fav)!! i started reading and occasionally watching (bc i was more of a reader) back in 2012 until the manga ended (somewhere around... 2016?) and then i reread the whole thing again and watched whatever episodes were available :'))

i don't read mangas anymore, i sometimes watch anime (not very often) but i still cherish bleach so much. and omg seeing those terms made me go *blink blink* bc it's been so long i had to google to confirm what some of those were!

and that's why my answers might not make sense BUT I HAVE FAVS. definitely. firstly, ichigo, ofc. esp when he attained bankai. kisuke urahara is also my biggest anime crushes (also my anime crushes are such a strong indicator of my type). from the arrancars, i remember how obsessed i was with ulquiorra and grimmjow (ulquiorra's arc and the way he died? and the scene with orihime still lives in my head rent free).

i honestly don't remember much but i remember being a fan of the ishidas too. i also have the softest spot for rukia and byakuya, kenpachi and the little girl that tags with him. toshiro's powers always fascinated me the most and aizen was so hot for being the villain lmao. and omg ywach!! always gave me the chills.

i think my fav arc was when (the explanation's gonna suck) the soul society is in... shambles? with ywach and the other espadas. thousand year blood war or sth? basically before the manga ends. i think the ending and opening of this anime are perfection.

i think this is my cue to reread bleach bc i've been wanting to reread (and hopefully getting back into reading manga) for a while now. since the last time i touched this manga was in 2016, my knowledge is very dusty if you can't tell already-- but if i pick it up again, i'm bothering you 🫵 bc it really is rare to find a bleach enthusiast! i need to hear your fav moments and fav characters too, come on. refresh my memory (and give me the push to pick bleach again)

[nerdasaurus1200]

I saw Dragon Prince season 4 and hoo boy do I have thoughts (in no particular order)

First off, it's adorable how much of a magic nerd Callum is. He's grown so much and become so much stronger in two years

Stella is baby. She's living her best life with her cuddlemama and future cuddle papa. Speaking of, let Callum becalled a cuddlepapa by himself or Rayla next season

Zym and Ezran have grown up so much and it both breaks and warms my heart

Okay, so Rayla is a Dragonguard. Good to know.

Terry is my son now. I adopted him, he's mine.

I feel like Callum is just a little bit jealous of Stella getting love from Rayla

“The other elves saw me as a doe, but I knew. I always knew that I was a buck. I..chose the name Terrestrius.”....This line here. This line is gonna stick with me forever. I honestly didn't expect them to outright tell or show us Terry is trans but I'm so glad. That's gonna mean so much to trans kids watching this show. And the fact that Viren has no problems with it at all makes it even more special. Although Terry's wording makes me wonder if someone in his family didn't accept him.

Oh man I just read his wiki page and apparently Terry is still mid transition

I'm calling it now, that girl that figured out Araavos is Harrow and Ezran's descendant

Well, at least we know how loyal Terry is to Claudia.....someone get this poor boy a mug of hot cocoa, a blanket, a hug, and a therapist; he's earned it. He was 100% having a panic attack

"I'm gonna feel all the feelings!" THAT'S RIGHT YOU GO MY FUNKY BOY

I KNEW IT! I KNEW RAYLA'S PARENTS WERE IN THE COINS!GOD POOR RAYLA! ETHARI AND CALLUM ARE GONNA LOSE THEIR SHIT!

Hot damn, Ezran's speech combined with Ibis and Claudia fighting was powerful...that whole scene really encapsulates what the entire show is about, I think

Zubeia gets more and more badass with every episode

I wasn't expecting the chocolate tart to be brought back but it's nice that Rex Igneous liked it. Although how could he taste so much of such a little thing?

Ohhhhh wait, I just got that! Rex means king, he's KING Igneous!

Oh man I had no idea Ezran's crown is made from Harrow's sword

That possesion scene was straight up creepy, I honestly thought Callum died for a second

Speaking of creepy, I never wanna see snake Claudia again, please and thank you

I know Callum is angry at Rayla but he needs to talk to her, really. I feel like he's using the possession thing as an excuse to not talk about their relationship. Like, I do think he's genuinely shaken up by it but he's choosing to focus on that because it's easier

Soren...god, Soren has changed so much. In just 3 years, this boy has gone from picking fights with dragons and being eager to kill them to not being able to turn away from a dragon in need. He even shed his armor for her. Season 1 Soren would NEVER have done that in a million years

Another thing S1 Soren would never do is that talk with Claudia. Man, that was deep.

Also I love Soren's new look, I feel like it suits him way better than his knight armor

I dunno why I expected an out of the gate dramatic conversation when Soren found Claudia. Although I am glad we still got them having that conversation

I will say though, I do wish we got more of a reaction to Terry from Soren

Can Squeaky return next season as Soren's dragon pal? Please? he's the only one that doesn't have an animal companion

"I wanna spend the last month traveling with my daughter, the most important person in the world to me" I....it's nice that you're finally learning to not be a jackass Viren, but did you forget that you have a son??? Is Soren just chopped liver to you?

That said, I do appreciate that Viren has changed. I feel like he's definitely not gonna become immortal.

Regarding Claudia's speech about human suffering....either she's been fed TONS of propaganda by Araavos or she's taking it way too personally after all this time. Like, girl, you have an elf boyfriend, calm down

Awww the return of big feelings time!

[bnha-more-like-bnh-gay]

Rarepair headcanons because I am ignoring my problems

Serodeku:

Izuku reenacts the Spider-Man movies with Sero. Izuku is MJ. They also alternate being Spider-Man sometimes

They skate together

They get very protective when people call their boyfriend “plain”

They play dnd together

Sero tries to make sure that izuku gets some rest

They’re both kinda insecure, izuku more than sero, but still; and they make sure to reassure each other as often as possible

Sero likes listening to Izuku’s ramblings and finds them cute. He has told izuku this, only for the poor boy to imitate a tomato

After Izuku has been particularly reckless, Sero takes advantage of his quirk, wraps Izuku in bubble wrap, and tapes it there

Tokodeku:

Jocknerd bf and goth bf, we love to see it

Tokoyami teaches izuku how to sword fight

They start a dnd club at U.A.

Izuku talks to dark shadow a lot, Dark Shadow approves of him, and has claimed the spot of best man at their wedding

Izuku comes up with ideas to help Tokoyami gain control with Dark Shadow

Dark Shadow is very protective over Izuku, no matter how many times Tokoyami tells him that he can take care of himself, Dark Shadow will put himself between Izuku and any form of danger as often as possible

Dekoyama??? Aoyama/izuku:

Aoyama gives him makeovers, obviously

Aoyama drags izuku to the mall and tries to revamp some of his wardrobe, but he actually finds the “pants” and “flannel” type shirts cute

They help each other train their quirks

Aoyama is trilingual, and teaching izuku English and French.

Izuku always brings Aoyama home some new cheese

Y’all, I love them so much. There needs to be more aodeku content

Monoshinsou:

They have people watching dates. They come up with stories for the people they’re watching; their job, family, background, etc.

They judge people together

They call each other “love”

They’re both dramatic bastards, who will flop onto their lovers lap and proclaim their death due to a minor inconvenience

They jokingly sh*t-talk class A

Shinsou said “I love you” first, and it was because Monoma brought him coffee to class

Monoyama:

Like monoshinsou, they’re both dramatic bastards, who will flop onto their lovers lap and proclaim their death due to a minor inconvenience

They go shopping together and pick out the most dramatic pieces of clothing for each other

I love them so much, please 😭✋

They have tea parties every week, where they sh*t talk everyone else and gossip

They are both fancy bastards, and they wear the most exquisite outfits to go grocery shopping, and the outshine everyone

They both actually make clothing, they’ll go fabric shopping together. Gift exchanges are often articles of clothing that they’ve made for each other

Momomei:

They work on gear together!!!

Momo makes sure that mei gets some sleep

Mei helps redesign momo’s suit

They often work together with izuku to work in gear and such

They actually got together after izuku introduced them. He had been working on gear with mei, and studying with momo and he thought they’d hit it off. He was correct

Shintsuyu:

Dude they’d be so cute

Tsu is a vent gremlin, and you can’t change my mind. So she and shinsou will play a game where they try to find each other. Tsu is in the vent and shinsou is in the classrooms. Shinsou will try to find whichever vent she’s in, or she’ll find whichever classroom he’s in, in 20 minutes or less

I always headcanoned tsu as a dog person, so they’d have two cats and two dogs, and a bunny that they named Deku

They like comparing their friends to animals, hence the bunny, Deku

Kamideku:

Kaminari is a flirt, and izuku does n o t know how to handle it

Kaminari likes listening to izuku’s ramblings, and can keep up with them. He’ll ask questions on things too, and Izuku has never felt more appreciated

I don’t know why I feel like they’d have so many animals, but I do. They’d have so many, man. Three cats, two dogs, four sugar gliders, a hamster

Adhd power couple. They hyperfixated on complimentary things at the same time one time

Kaminari tutors izuku in English, and izuku turots kami in some other subjects. He’s also teaching kami JSL on the side. Kaminari has a live of languages

Momochako:

Study dates, Momo asks ochako to quiz her a lot

Ochako takes to floating momo’s things when she wants attention. Especially when Momo is studying. She makes a game out of how many things she can float until the other girl notices

Uraraka’s confidence does wonders for momo’s. Uraraka always makes sure to reassure momo that she is strong and that she can do this

Momo makes Uraraka whatever her heart desires. Uraraka blushes all the time, and momo takes great pride in getting her girlfriend to blush

Minatoru:

Mina clings to everyone, but especially to toru

They give each other stuffed animals so often. They’ll go to the store to get food, and come back with three stuffed animals that reminded them of each other

Please, they’re so cute 😭✋

They will play hide and seek, I stand by this.

Mina helps toru design a new costume. I hate hers, it’s horrible, and sexist, and not suitable for a fucking child

Toru says that pink is her favorite color

They flirt with each other all the time. Half the class thinks it’s cute, half of them used to think it was cute.

Iidamomo:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but study dates. they quiz each other, and it actually gets pretty competitive

They also have rage room dates. I will not budge on this. Iida tried to murder someone, and I am excited to see momo finally snap. She deserves it

They alternate paying for dates, don’t try me.

The go hiking a lot

They started liking each other after one late night, both having nightmares. Momo had tea, and offered some to Iida. They talked until the early hours of the morning

They can’t flirt. They try. But they’re horrible at it. They’ll compliment each other all day long, but they cannot flirt.

KIRIDEKU, MY BELOVED:

Y’all,,, y’all, I love them so much

They train together, obviously

They ran into each other one night in the common room after both having nightmares. They talked about middle school, how they were both bullied, izuku’s quirk coming in late, katsuki being abusive, kiri being bullied because his quirk wasn’t “cool.” After that, they were practically inseparable.

They started going on dates, not that either of them knew they were dates. The entire class knew, so did the teachers, so did the rest of U.A. Kirishima picked up on it first after a comment from Mina, he had is realization.

So, he started courting Izuku. Not thag izuku realized this. He brought him flowers on most ‘dates,’ he bought him hero action figures whenever he could, he complimented him until Izuku was red in the face (which was honestly very easy.) Still, izuku remained ignorant to the fact that he was indeed dating Kirishima.

The final tipping point, was due to Uraraka’s help. She was quite tired of watching the two of them pine for each other. It was amusing for the first couple months, watching Kirishima try so hard, and Deku being totally oblivious. However, she took pity on her friends after a while.

So, Uraraka devised a devilish plan to get the two together. She involved Mina, Sero, and kaminari in this plan. What was the plan, you ask? Oh, simply to trap the two in one room until they broke through izuku’s obliviousness.

Kirishima finally “straight” up admitted his feelings, to which Izuku had the sudden realization of “oh my gods, have we been dating this whole time??” Yes, Izuku. Yes you have.

They have two anniversaries after that.

Let’s be honest, they are really, annoyingly, horrifically lovey dovey. Kirishima brags about having “the manliest and bestest boyfriend in the world.” Izuku flaunts his many PowerPoint presentations on how talented and incredible Kirishima is

Uraraka doesn’t know if she did the right thing by helping them. She is so tired

Tsujirou:

Jirou makes playlists for tsu

The few sane ones in class A, I swear

They go on walks in the rain as often as they can

They go for dates in the bookstore too. They each pick out an album and a book for the other to listen to and read

Y’all, they make so much sense togetherrrrr, I’m love them 🥺

Jirou started liking tsu after the crew saved bakugou. Jirou sat with tsu after momo, Iida, kirishima, Todoroki, and izuku apologized and sat with her. They had movie night, and Jirou joined the Bakugou saving crew and tsu with taking well into the night. She just appreciated how much tsu cared

Tsu started liking Jirou after she helped Iida, momo, and izuku try to keep the class in order. She appreciated how diplomatic and calm she was

Jirou would talk to izuku all night long about how gay she was, and how adorable tsu was. So, izuku decided to try and suggest ways for Jirou to ask her out.

She did not end up getting to ask her out though, as Tsu walked up to her the next morning f and asked if she wanted to go on a date. Jirou said yes. Izuku cried

Izujirou:

They make playlists for each other

They go for runs on the beach a lot

They both have insomnia, and often spend time making blanket forts and talking, or FaceTiming and listening to music

Jirou walks into the common room once a week looking for new music. She started liking Izuku after he made a playlist for her for one of these occasions.

They’re both quite awkward when it comes to romance, but neither of them will shy away from facing the truth. So, Jirou made izuku a playlist filled with love songs that reminded her of him and sent it to him. Sadly, izuku is dense as hell.

So, then Jirou wrote a love song and told izuku that the song was for him. Sadly, izuku is dense as hell.

So, then Jirou write analysis about izuku’s quirk for him. Sadly, izuku is dense as hell

So, then, after thinking that Jirou had done so much for him, izuku made her a playlist filled with love songs. Jirou took this to mean that izuku had finally picked up on her feelings, and accepted them.

So, they started to go on dates. Not that izuku knew this, as he is dense as hell. All leading up to izuku finally confessing his feelings on one of their ‘dates,’ to which Jirou responded, “dude, we’re already dating? Aren’t we? I- I thought that was obvious??”

May this awkward couple be forever blessed

Tokoyama:

Goth/prep boyfriends, we love to see it

At least once a day, Aoyama will proclaim that Tokoyami “shines almost as bright as he does, in his fabulous emo way”

They sword fight, and come up with really dramatic scenarios and scenes that they’re in

They bond over being in the izucrew and their shared love of swords. Aoyama took fencing classes in middle school, and Tokoyami got into sword fighting after watching it in pirates of the Caribbean as a young child. He is self taught and watched countless videos on the art of sword fighting

Tokoyami asked Aoyama our by dramatically presenting him with a dagger and going “will you accompany me on a formal outing as my lover?”

Shinyama:

They flirt constantly

No really, it’s getting quite annoying. Someone please stop them.

They both plop down in random areas and proclaim their deaths, the difference between them, is that Aoyama will burst into shinsou’s room, and yell “love, I’ve been murdered. Mourn for me” while plopping down on shinsou’s lap. Shinsou can be found laying face down outside aoyama’s door, and when Aoyama goes to open the door, he just goes “I’ve been murdered.”

^^ one time, shinsou did a very fun Halloween prank for this, where he poured fake blood all over himself for Aoyama to find him an hour later, asleep.

Nap dates. Aoyama get glitter all over shinsou’s room

Iiyama:

Aoyama enjoys making Iida blush, obviously. But he takes joy in doing it specifically when class is about to start. Aizawa is tired of his shit

Here is how I think an iiyama conversation might go:

Aoyama: I ask for one thing in this relationship-

Iida: Aoyama, you know that’s a lie-

Aoyama: for my boyfriend to carry me around all day-

Iida: Aoyama, I cannot feasibly do this with class-

Aoyama: and I don’t think that’s too much to ask for 😤

Anyway, Aoyama got carried around all day that day, despite Iida’s blush and Aizawa’s eye twitch

Everyone in the izucrew is close, but Iida and Aoyama started to get close after Iida told the crew about Stain. Aoyama wanted Iida to know that he wasn’t alone, and that he wanted to help him. So he started packing extra cheese for lunch and giving it to Iida. Iida was very confused at first. But this was Aoyama trying to court him. This was only made apparent by momo and Jirou telling Iida that this was aoyama’s attempt at expressing romantic interest.

Aoyama flirts with everyone, that’s just who he is. But with Iida? Oh it was tenfold. The poor boy was red in the face constantly. Aoyama was a persistent little bugger too, following him around and calling him ‘mon amour’

Kirikamideku:

My dearest traffic light trio, I’m love them

They train together, and kiri and kami always appreciate izuku’s analysis snd ideas

Kiri falls even more in love with izuku and kaminari when they go off on rants. Izuku rants and kami can keep up with him so he asks questions about it. Kiri loves to watch his boyfriends go on rants, I don’t make the rules, but I do enforce them

They started to get closer after kami and kiri found bakugou causing a ptsd flashback (could be on purpose of an accident, up to the reader.) they stated with him and tried to talk him through it. After this, izuku started to tell them about having been a “late bloomer” and being bullied, etc. (I don’t know, man; I tend to over share after flashbacks and after panic attacks)

Izuku tutors them in several subjects, but kami tutors them in English. Kiri just falls in love with his smart boyfriends

Izuku is teaching kami JSL and kami is helping izuku with English and Italian (personal headcanon that Italian has been one of kami’s special interests) kiri loves to listen to them, and finds it relaxing and calming to hear them do this. When he has panic attacks, he’ll ask them to tutor each other in different languages

!Let me know what you think!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cold stung Y/n’s cheeks as she moved to avoid his blade. They had been fighting for over an hour, another argument out of control.

The flowers and trees had died and all that was left was a blanket of snow on the land. This winter was harsh, but Lambert swinging his sword at her seemed to appear harsher.

“Come on, Y/n. When you asked if we could train with you, I expected something good, not this. You are weak.” Lambert taunted.

His red hair was tied back, and Y/n would almost say he looked handsome.

The problem was, and still is, that Lamber hated her. He hates Y/n and everything she did.

Honestly, it didn’t make sense. Y/n never had any arguments with the red haired Witcher, always trying her best to be kind to the man, but it didn’t matter. For some reason he hated her, this time he outed it with fighting her physically.

Y/n’s head snapped in his direction, “I AM WEAK?! You are the most pathetic man I’ve ever fought! Look at you, fighting against a woman you claim to hate!” Her sword blocked his as he almost got to her.

“You shouldn’t have said that Y/n. You will regret it.” Lambert spoke in a whisper. His eyes grew darker as he looked at her, a strand of hair falling from his bun. His movements growing more brute and wilder. Smashing his sword into her, he cut her arm before quickly disarming her and bringing her to the ground with a kick.

Holding her arm, Y/n looked up at Lambert. A snarl stretched on her face as he held his blade on her throat.

“Lambert! That’s enough!” Vesimir called from the sideline, as he was watching the whole thing happen.

Letting out a scoff, he turned to walk away from her. Ciri passed by him on her way to help Y/n up. Rolling his eyes he went inside, taking his place besides his brothers.

-

As the evening passed, more alcohol was passed around among the Witchers and company at the tables.

“He just smacked her down! Just like that!” Coen boasted Lambert’s events of the day to the girls at the table.

The girls giggled and one even leaned into Lambert’s side. Lambert however wasn’t even paying attention. He hadn’t seen Y/n all evening after he went inside, not even for dinner.

He smiled awkwardly to the girl that clung on his shoulder, “Yeah, mate I’ll be right back. Excuse me ladies.”

As Lambert walked around searching for Y/n he spotted Ciri. With a jog he made his way over to her spot at the table with Jaskier and Geralt.

“Wow Lambert! You made quite the show today!” Jaskier yelled at him.

Ignoring him he brought his attention to Ciri as he kneeled before her, “Where is Y/n, have you seen her?”

It seemed like Ciri wasn’t as big a fan of his actions of her friend as her eyes went cold, “Why? So you can hurt her more?”

“I just want to apologize Ciri, that’s all.” He informed her.

Ciri just studied his features, “She went to her room a while ago after I stitched her up.”

Lambert’s face fell at her words. He didn’t mean to seriously injure her; she was just so insufferable sometimes. That fight brought out the worst of him and he needed to apologize to her.

Standing up he ignored the calls of his friends, making his way to the room of a certain female Witcher.

-

Standing before her door, he thought about what to say. He would keep it short, just apologizing for his roughness and that would be it.

Sucking in a breath, he knocked on her door.

“Who is it?” Her soft voice rang through the door.

He sighed, “It’s Lambert, can I please come in?”

“Go away Lambert, for fuck’s sake!”

Letting out an annoyed puff, he put his hand on the door, “Y/n, I just want to apologize. That’s all.”

Suddenly the door swung open. Revealing an angry looking Y/n. She was dressed in a big shirt, barely covering her ass. Looking at her flustered form, she had been drinking too. Her hair looked wild, and her cheeks were flushed.

Lambert just stared at her, the alcohol doing its work as he took in her form. She was definitely hot, her body trained from the years of fighting it had done. A bandage peaking from under her sleeve, covering the cut he made earlier that day.

“Just apologize, huh? That is all?  You disgust me!” She screamed in his face.

It didn’t take long for him to process what was happening. In a second, he wrapped his hand around her throat and pushed her backwards, slamming the door behind him as he pinned her to the wall of her small bedroom.

Studying her face, he stroked his thumb over the side of her neck “I disgust you, yeah? I could hear your heartbeat speed up when you saw me, so don’t lie.” He murmured in her ear, his heavy accent peeking through.

Y/n looked at him with a straight face, “You. Disgust. Me.”

With each word his grip on her neck tightened, making her squirm. “Don’t. Lie.” He mimicked her. Resting his cheek still against hers, taking in her smell, it drove him crazy.

Whatever he was doing, it worked. Her stomach fluttered as he brought his hand to her side, the other one still gripping onto her.

“Say you want this, that you feel this too. Cause fuck Y/n! I need to leave right now if you don’t want this” he spoke, asking her for the consent he needed to continue.

She nodded her head, making him loosen his grip on her.

He smirked, “I need you to say it for me Y/n, tell me what you want”

“God, Lambert yes I want this.  I need you to take me.” She sighed in his ears.

Bringing his hand from her neck to her cheek, he positioned her in the right way by pulling her hair. His eyes fell to her lips, they looked so soft. Within a second his lips crashed on hers, taking her into a passionate kiss.

Feeling his tongue press against her lips, she opened her mouth slightly, granting him access. Their tongues mingling together in a heavy dance, fighting for dominance.

Lambert still had her pinned to the wall, his taller body almost engulfing hers. When his hand found her breast with a squeeze, she let out a low moan. Right there and then Lambert decided it was the most amazing sound he’s ever heard. His cock already growing harder from the noises she let out.

Breaking their kiss, lambert caught his breath, “Damn sweetheart, keep making those sounds and my dick will just pop on itself.”

Y/n let out a whimper in unexpected pleasure, the wetness between her folds increasing

Lambert just sneered as he looked down on her. Picking her up, he took two big steps and threw her on her bed, “God, you’re beautiful, but I will ruin that pretty little body of yours.”

Kicking his boots off, Lambert crawled on top of her. Ripping her shirt with his hands, he revealed a naked Y/n underneath. Placing a kiss on her lips, his hand finding her breast again. He broke away from the kiss to attack her neck and chest, leaving a wet trail of marks from her collarbone to her tit.

“Lambert, fuck. Hurry up a little!” Y/n gasped out, making Lambert look up from his occupation. Her nipple was in his mouth, and she felt him smirking against her

Releasing her breast from his mouth, he grabbed his shirt by the hems, puling it over his head, revealing a sculpted, muscular chest. “Patience darling, I haven’t even started.”

Grabbing him by his shoulder with one hand, Y/n flips him over. Sitting on his lap, having the perfect view on his gorgeous, bearded face. Her hands trailed down his chest, scratching his skin lightly with her nails. As she neared the buckle of his belt, she paused. Y/n smirked before quickly undoing the belt and opening the buttons of his pants.

Lamberts hands went from her breasts to her hands, “Oh, no.”

Pushing Y/n of his lap, he stood up, lowering his pants and undergarments. His cock springing free from the uncomfortable clothing it was in.

Her eyes widened slightly, gaping at the sight before her, “I don’t know if that will fit.”

Lambert smirked, “We will make it fit.” He winked.

As his naked form made his way onto the bed again, he caught her hand that tried to grip his dick. “Relax, love. Just lay down.”

Laying her down on her back gently he hovered over her. Putting his weight on one arm, his other hand found it’s way down to her cunt. Gliding one finger between her lips, feeling the wetness coaxing his finger. “God, you’re wet.” He grunted out.

Bringing his hand to his mouth, he put his finger to his mouth, licking the slickness of his finger. Before she could register what was happening his hand lowered again, pushing two fingers inside of her.

Y/n gasped out as she wiggled underneath him, making him look up. Repositioning himself, Lambert placed one arm over her hips, bringing his face closer to her pussy.

Without warning, he placed his mouth on her clit. Sucking on the bundle of nerves, while massaging her walls, she gasped out for air. He started eating her out with a passion she’d never witnessed before. When he looked up through his red curls, she came undone. With a final stroke of his fingers and a mischievous grin, he hit her spot that sent her over the edge.

“Oh fuck, Lambert!” Y/n screamed in pleasure, throwing her head back on the pillow.

When he came up, his beard glistered from the juices she had produced, but fuck he looked unbelievably hot.

Grabbing his cheeks, Y/n gave him a passionate kiss, tasting herself on his tongue.

With a small tug, Lamberts body fell on top of her. Lifting his upper body not to crush her, he broke the kiss to give her a showstopping smile. Y/n let out a sigh, letting her eyes wander down to see his cock ready for more, glistering with pre-cum.

Lambert saw her watching him, “I need you to tell me what you want, love.”

“I need you to fuck me into tomorrow” she grumbled, unable to let out anything else.

Lambert leaned down to kiss her deep, while prodding his tip on her entrance. In one swift move he thrusted himself in. it was unlike anything she ever felt, the feeling filling her up.

Melting against him, she gripped his shoulders for support. Lambert was merciless, slamming into her at a fast pace, that had her see stars. His lips finding her neck again, this time almost breaking the skin while sucking on it. His hands gripping her tightly, leaving hand formed marks.

The sensation was amazing, and with every stroke she got pushed further into the matrass. Each stroke, each snap of his hips, Lambert hit her G-spot, making her a moaning mess. The scene they created was downright dirty, only the sounds of slapping skin and occasional grunts and moans filling the room.

He was rough but soft, no one has ever treated her like this. Y/n knew she’d never be able to get enough after tonight, an insatiable feeling finding her. As Lambert made a shift with his hips, he hit her spot even deeper, making her cry out at the tension that build in her belly.

Frantically gripping his back, she moaned loudly, “yes, Lambert, please don’t stop!”

He let out a deep grunt in acknowledgement, pounding into her harder. All her senses got overwhelmed as she took in his scent, arching her back of the bed. Y/n moaned with every breath she took, pressure and heat building up inside of her until it finally broke. Tippling her over the edge, she gave broken cry while coming hard a second time.

Her whole body shook with her orgasm, making her squeeze Lambert’s cock that was still buried deep inside of her.

His hips slapped against hers, making his movements falter. With a sloppy thrust, he too came crashing down in a sensational orgasm. Spurting his seed into her hotness, he stayed on top of her for a moment.

With a sigh Lambert rolled down next to her on the small bed. Y/n’s hand still tangled in his hair, combing her fingers through his locks.

“You are not weak, and I don’t hate you.” He smiled at her.

She grinned back at him, “You don’t really disgust me.”

“Good, because now that I’ve had a taste of you, I’m not letting you go”

[hungrydolphin91]

Thank you SO much for this response, it honestly made me smile and laugh so much when I really needed it--- like 2 hours after I answered yours, my dog got really, really sick, and I basically spent the rest of the day in an anxious depressed fugue. Terrible timing, right after posting an ask game 😓

But like I said your response was such a delight to read, so I want to break it down with the truth--- not correcting, I just wanna tell you all about it really because you know we both love infodumping 😁

So first up is Piers, the dark type gym leader from Pokemon Sword and Shield (the very first dark type gym leader actually, it took them 8 generations). He is most certainly emo and sleep-deprived, and almost a poor little meow meow, except he's not really misunderstood--- everyone in his town knows and loves him, because he's a super nice guy. He's the embodiment of the actual definition of punk, the kind of person that looks out for the little guy because he came from humble origins himself. It's been a while since I played Shield but I remember this guy being so geniunely outspoken yet respectful. He's such a chill dude, I think he has a lot of fans irl too.

Also, I am delighted to tell you that he not only listens to rock, he is in fact the lead singer of a rock band (love that you named him Bowie it fits 😂). And he loves and supports his younger sister, who is an idol so popular that her fans literally are the 'evil' team for that region, Team Yell 😂 They mostly just make a lot of noise and cause problems by accident.

Lastly I appreciate your stabs at making pokemon names, they're as valid as the official ones 😁 That fluffy friend is Obstagoon, evolving from Galarian Linoone--- I used one of these when I played Shield! It definitely has aspects of skunk and hyena in its design, but I think it's primarily based on European badgers (do you have those in Australia? The North American ones look different.)

Next gym leader is Whitney from Johto, originating in Gen II. She does look like Misty doesn't she, they both have tomboyish vibes (Misty has sisters in the anime, and I think they even take over her gym duties while shes off traveling so you're guess isnt far off the mark). You guessed right that Whitney is a normal type leader, and that she likes cute pokemon! Also I need to point out the delightful coincidence that you used the word 'scrappy' to describe her--- it's entirely accurate, but Scrappy also just so happens to be the name of an uncommon pokemon ability that--- you guessed it--- her cow has. What are the odds???

I mostly included her in this list so I could share one fun fandom misery about her: this girl and her cow are TOUGH! If you know what you're up against it's not so bad, but for new players and kids not expecting a difficulty spike so early in the game, Whitney and her Miltank (I like Milkmin better btw) will stomp and rollout your team so fast. But since she's so powerful she's also a bit of a sore loser, she cries if you beat her. I think she does call you baka in the Japanese games 😂

And our last mysterious man is the dragon tamer Lance, the Champion(ish) of Kanto, the very first gen! (technically your rival is the champion, but Lance was the Champion before he lost to the rival). He comes across as more stern and intimidating in those early games before the remakes, which you kinda need to be if you're going to command a full team of dragons (though literally only 3 of his mons are dragon type, but it's not really his fault since there was only one dragon type evolution line in gen I).

I loved seeing you call Dragonite Not-Charizard 😂 especially since Lance also has a Charizard, it's just not his signature mon. Dragonite is so cute and friendly, the official art always has it waving like that it's adorable 🧡

Fortunately for Dragonite, Lance is not an evil guy (but he is in the Pokemon Adventures manga, which is not affiliated with the games but still official. Evil!Lance has healing powers and can talk to pokemon, which is not a thing in canon except for N but that's another story). Lance is actually a pretty good guy in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal (Johto, where Whitney's from) where he helps the protagonist infiltrate a criminal hideout. I always thought that was a cool part of those games, first time in the series having a powerful NPC battle alongside you, and then you get to challenge him later as the Champion again. I have no idea if Piers and Lance ever interacted in some spinoff like Pokemon Masters, I hope so. I can't imagine Lance would care much for Pier's taste in music 😂

Aaaaaand that about wraps it up! Sorry it's so long, there's so much context to explain to a newcomer to the franchise and I find it very very fun to go off on tangents as you know 😅 feel free to leave me an essay on each of the persona characters as payback, I'll read it happily 😄 and thanks again for the ask!! Really made my day 💜

ok, as promised here's some pokemon gym leaders (and one Champion) for you to tell me about, plus their signature pokemon! if you recognize one or more of them that's fine, mixing the truth in makes for a better story 😁

(I may send another batch later with characters from another franchise huhuhu)

The ask games begin :3. I might not match your levels of hilarity BUT i will try my best~ (god bless our drunk-on-serotonin, 2am ideas) 1. On first impressions god this is the biggest emo, sleep-deprived edgelord I've had the pleasure of witnessing ^^ he probably must listen to prog rock in his free time too. He's either going to be horrible to the protagonist or terribly misunderstood; personally I want to root for this poor little meow meow and go terribly misunderstood. He lost too many pokemon battles as a kid and was bullied and now he is jaded </3. Which is why he has the big fluffy guy next to him! For emotional support cuddles! They are besties for life :D I think Mr. Trainer here should be called Bowie. As for his pokemon, it looks like either a hyena or a skunk to me. It's probably called a grimyena or something (sorry Dolphin ily) 2. She looks like Misty! But distinctly not </3. So, I propose this is Misty's sister, Stacey, who moved abroad on her own quest to become a pokemon champion :D. Judging by her friend, she likes all the cute pokemon, but probably also the normal types by the looks of it. A basic teenage girl, for the most part, scrappy and positive and probably all to eager to yell baka at any male teenage boys that challenge her. Her pokemon is distinctly a cow, I think Milkmin is fitting :) 3. He doesn't look very nice :(. Very stern and strict and probably scoffs at those with a very undeveloped team. It's clear he takes a lot of pride in what he does. However that is NOT a real charizard that I spot. It soft and round and actually cute, with a happy smile (he does all the smiling for the trainer, like a personal butler). But I was so frustrated with not being able to name what the not-charizard was that I just had to find out. It's a dragonite! I hope you are treated well and not abused by your (possibly evil) master, who I am deeming Mr. Rockfort. I hope Rockfort and Bowie get to go at it one day, I think that would be funny :3 Anyways here you go friend! I completed your challenge :D (with a guaranteed 16% accuracy I know it) Hope you enjoyed reading <3

[rayofsunas]

deafening silence.

A/n: hello readers!! back with a new request, thank you always for your continuous patience <3 this request was different, and i hope i portrayed those who are selectively mute correctly (i did my research, so i hope so!) always correct me if i am wrong! <3 hope all of you wishing for klee have gotten her :) and those wishing for kazuha good luck! btw, this could be read as platonic or romantic (klee's is strictly platonic for obvious reasons!) enjoy <3

Summary: reader is selectively mute who always follows what jean says (like kanao tsuyuri!). they're dendro user and sword wielder, with speed, agility, and strength to match. and they also have some pretty great mondstadt friends there to always support and guide them.

Characters: amber, diluc, eula, jean, kaeya, klee, lisa, venti

Warnings: selectively mute reader, pure fluff, klee is here but it's strictly platonic

Word count: 2.5k

you were like any normal child growing up. you had two doting parents who loved their child with everything in them. friends with who you made silly jokes, and played together until the sun went down. you had so much to say, many jokes to tell, share strings of 'i love you's' to all you held precious. but then it all snapped and broke in two. and was no more.

amber

this girl appreciates your bravery so much! let me tell you. it's one thing to speak in public while anxious, but to defy what would be seen as normal, even if you're more comfortable is very admirable.

ahhh, amber is best friend material!!

she always has your back but also isn't afraid to not coddle you just because you're mute.

she's always going to defend you against any of those who simply cannot understand your reasoning for going mute and staying that way.

"why should you be bothered by what someone else chooses to do?!"

amber is your biggest supporter, i can promise you that!

if you've learned sign language over the years, you teach amber who is more than happy to learn :)

she just wants to be able to communicate with you and allow you to express yourself in whatever way you deem comfortable.

"what's that? hmm, so that's what it means in sign! how bold of you, y/n!"

amber doesn't train with you often due to your vision contrasting hers, BUT that doesn't mean she won't sit in and offer support!

"c'mon y/n! hit captain kaeya where it hurts!"

she's a great friend, honestly. a good balance between someone who adores you so much, but isn't going to coddle you like a baby.

she thinks you're the purest person, and so kind to so many who never want to understand nor accommodate to your muteness.

"you're too precious for this world, y/n! never change."

diluc

no one is badmouthing you, ever! not under his watch, he makes sure of it.

you're like the little sister he never had, unfortunately, but he's glad to have met you as a youngster.

like the older brother that he is, he wants to protect you. against anyone, anything, and everything.

"please, i can order for you, it's not a problem; your usual?"

you insist through sign language that he doesn't have to, but it falls on confused eyes and an equally confused brain...

he doesn't have the time to learn sign language, he's a very busy man. but don't worry, he knows the important signs :)

instead, to help the communication process go easier, certain physical acts of affection is your way of speaking.

entwining your pinky with his pinky is your way of showing your appreciation/thanks.

a peace sign is a signal to him that you're fine.

and a gentle nudge with your foot to his shin is you telling him you're angry.

that's not all, of course, there are many more! but those are a few.

he is the one you probably relate to the most. he's naturally quiet and aloof, so you two get along well.

he's also the type of friend that if you've known him long enough, physical contact or signs don't need to be telling of how you feel, he'll know just by a look or intuition.

it may seem like he's not a very in tune friend to the public because of how unapproachable he is.

and to some, he even looks more like a caregiver doing this out of obligation or a promise to you/your parents.

but none of it's true. he looks after you because he cares for you deeply, and views you as a younger sister. of course, he'd want no harm done to you! and people can be mean :(

"do not worry, i will always be here to scare away your demons."

eula

she's also another person who is rather cold, like diluc, to the outside world, but she only wants to look after you.

eula tries to make it seem like she doesn't coddle you, but all of the knights at hq know she does... but she tries not to do that!! especially if you share that you'd wish she didn't.

another one who wants to protect you no matter what. even if you're a knight yourself who is more than capable of doing so.

she knows you could put up a good fight against anyone, thanks to the hardcore knight training, etc.

but speech isn't your forte and the loudest man or woman in the vicinity who thinks they're better than everyone can easily lull out your silent opinions.

she realizes, so many things could go wrong with you being mute; others could take advantage of you, see your silence as a weakness and not offer you the same opportunities.

"you've got to be careful."

that's what she always tells you. you listen to an extent...

eula knows what it's like to be seen as an outcast, so she's definitely like your overprotective spokesperson in a way :)

"just because y/n chooses not to speak, you will not silence them!"

she probably knows a bit of sign language for those moments you wish not to speak around others, but she finds that she doesn't often get the chance to use them because she's always away ;-;

but when she returns?

"i think i am well overdue for another sign language lesson. will you continue teaching me more?"

jean

jean is like a big sister to you, older or not.

you follow her everywhere, and people can't decide if it's weird or adorable how you trail after the strong acting grandmaster jean!

"ignore their stares, they simply do not understand."

is what she always reassures you if she happens to catch citizens staring at you running after her.

your close friendship/family bond with jean all started when barbara found you on a stroll one evening outside of the city.

you were unable to speak to her, and she didn't realize it was by choice until she brought you back to her big sister jean, who had somehow managed to get you to utter what happened to you.

after that? you stuck to jean like glue.

after all, she had shown she truly cared and was the only person alive to know why you were selectively mute.

she looked after you like she did barbara, granting you as much freedom as you wanted while keeping a close keen eye.

she's taught you many things! like wielding a sword :) she was the one who helped you realize you had favored the weapon over the others offered.

and she helped you find comfort in those around you, gifted you a purpose, a meaning in life after wandering aimlessly. with the knights of favonius.

she doesn't mind that you choose not to speak, not at all. as long as you're comfortable that's all that matters!

she finds other ways of communication during meetings with the other knights and helps those who have shamefully not learned sign language for you, understand. jean created little note cards, and whenever she directs the attention to you, the room falls silent so you can share your thoughts however you choose.

"now, a moment of silence while y/n shares their findings, please."

no one dares to speak during or after, because they know acting grand master jean will punish them severely. laps around the wall don't sound so appealing.

"your opinions are just as important as anyone else's, if not more. we will stay here until you're finished, do not worry."

kaeya

kaeya, unlike the others, doesn't coddle you at all. the thought never crossed his mind.

of course, like any normal person who cared for those they love, he wants to keep you safe and see you happy. but nonetheless, you're a knight, he knows you're capable of handling your own.

he doesn't pity you, or see you as a burden or being too weird to be around.

you're just you, and that's good enough for him :)

because you're mute and have chosen to stay that way, he made cute little notecards for you to use to communicate with him and your friends, and they also have adorable little notes from him on the back; words of encouragement, reassurance, and silly things to brighten your day.

for example, "the sky isn't the limit!" or "you're doing great!" and "if you ever feel sad or angry, use this free 'punch kaeya' card! don't get too used to it though!" :) yes, he really made this for you, because he knows he can be a pest.

someone who can't speak obviously can't voice their discomfort easily.

but now with the card, it's easier!

whenever you're bothered with him, you just wave the card in his face and punch his arms afterward :) he'll just laugh through the pain.

kaeya has never once pried or pressured you into telling him why you're selectively mute. he's never even asked, nor does he think he will.

he has many secrets, some that shall remain that way until the end of time, and he knows that you wish to keep this under wraps too, so he'd never make you feel uncomfortable and force you to tell him.

"one day, if you choose to tell me why you're mute, so be it! but, if not, i will die a happy man!"

thank goodness kaeya is so chill. you're very grateful <3

he thinks of you as his little treasure, something he keeps a close eye on and would protect with his life. you're unique, and he doesn't ever wanna let you go.

"come on, my treasure. we have many more adventures together!"

klee

despite klee's personality, she doesn't mind that you choose not to speak.

at first, it was hard to get used to, seeing as though she's naturally very cheery and talkative. but over time, she finds it a nice change of pace.

she's always on the go, and with someone whose mind doesn't seem to be running 24/7 or spewing everything at once, is very comforting.

but, that just means she talks a lot more lol. you don't mind, you think she's too precious to find annoying/irritating.

klee also made cute little cards, but they aren't your standard 'yes, no, maybe' responses for you to talk with.

they're actually words of encouragement from her! they're written in red-colored pencils, on small white index cards, and to top it off, a messy (but cute) drawing of dodoco in the bottom right corner!

it's adorable :)

"here big sister y/n, a notecard for you!"

they often say, "stay happy!" or "you're amazing!" and lastly, "smile more!"

she wants to see you smile if that wasn't clear.

when she first stumbled upon you, she was very sad to see you look less than happy.

she met you when she was snooping in on kaeya introducing you to the other knights, and heard you being refereed to as "a new member to the team!" you appeared less than overjoyed though, and she remembers your clothes being tattered. nonetheless, she chose to greet you warmly for the first time after waiting outside of kaeya's office for a long while, offering you the brightest smile.

you only offered her an unnatural, cracked one. and that's when she decided to make it her mission to see you smile genuinely. whether she was behind it or not, she just wanted to see her big sibling smile happily, with no worries.

"come on big sister y/n! dodoco and i want to see you happy!"

i'm very happy to say klee eventually sees you smile out of genuine happiness :)

lisa

oh my lisa adores you so much!

she's the one who taught you sign language since she's the librarian and is skilled in many knowledgeable things! it just made sense that she would be the one to teach you.

"you're doing great! can you sign this next?"

much like a mother praising their child for every little thing, she's the same. she praises everything you do and holds you so high above everyone else.

nothing goes unpraised.

when you sign something new, she rewards you with a nice dinner out and your favorite treat!

since you're selective mute, you feel comfortable speaking in certain settings, but those rare moments when you speak, she finds this newfound pride swell in her chest.

she remembers the first time you spoke to her, it's so vivid. she cherishes that moment because although you were severely nervous to speak, you did so.

and when you spoke bravely to master varka for the first time, lisa was immensely delighted. it was like a mother watching her baby bird fly for the first time, and succeeding. she was so proud of you, words couldn't describe it.

she would throw a small party with very few people so you're comfortable, but if you don't want to do that, she'll tone it down.

instead, she writes you a poem, and creates a beautiful cover for the poem to sit encased in; a book of poems :) it's so thoughtful and pretty.

it shares about all your triumphs while being selectively mute, her overwhelming pride, and admiration for you.

"i couldn't be more delighted to gift you this! it is celebrating all that is you, dear."

venti

with this bard, it's usually all jokes, fun, and games.

he loves cracking puns and watching you shyly giggle, and he always sings songs to lull you to sleep.

you even help him get alcohol since everyone thinks he's a young teen too underage to do so.

he never fails to make you feel happy and over the moon with his cheerful personality and kind words.

he's honestly a saint to be around!

but when you turn away, he does worry. extremely.

venti knows how harsh the world can be, he's seen people be treated so poorly for something so insignificant.

he adores you so much, and he cares a lot, so he hates when he sees people make fun or tease you.

not speaking shouldn't be an issue! personally, he thinks the world should just fade into silence, if only for once.

and venti knows how it feels to be silenced, he understands what you live on a daily.

and he may look like an easy target because of how much shorter he is than the average male. and even how pretty he looks, but don't let that fool your teasers...

if only they knew he was a god, so divine, he was untouchable! you wanted to yell to those who didn't believe in him, to those who shamed him for standing up for you. nonetheless, you choose to stay silent.

but he'll defend you no matter what!!

"you shouldn't make fun of those you see as being below you, i hear the underworld is a hot, hot place!"

he's the person you go to if you're struggling to feel comfortable speaking in public settings and need assistance. he will help!

he's not going to force you to speak of course, but he will help you feel more comfortable by making funny jokes and throwing out compliments.

"such a sweet person shouldn't have room to worry!"

(Truth or Dare) Nora to Penny

Truth, what was her most sexy dream or

Dare, tell one person of Nora's choosing what she truly thinks of their behavior (blunt Penny ho!)

"Alright! It's time to get this done, so how about-"

As Nora began to look across the room, a sudden.

"AHEM."

Caught her and everyone elses attention.

All eyes suddenly fell on the second ginger of the group, Penny Polendina watched with a jagged smile.

"Oh shit..."

No one was quite sure who said it, but they had come to a sudden realization.

"I do believe it's my turn friends."

'Oh fuck we forgot Penny!'

Truthfully Penny had remained quiet on purpose, rather enjoying the situations unfold before her. So she wasn't particularly surprised that no one had noticed.

"Oh crapbaskets Penny! I'm sorry!"

"It is alright friend Nora. But I do believe you should ask now."

"Right! Uh, truth or dare?"

"Dare please."

"I dare you to uhm... tell Jaune what you think about their behavior!"

Nora was trying to think fast, and that was honestly the best she could come up with. Besides it's not like anything could go wrong right?

"Oh? My personal opinion on friend Jaune's behavior?"

"Yea..yeaeh!"

"Go easy on me Penny."

"I see."

The Robotic girl thought for a moment before she turned her attention towards Jaune, "I think that your behavior is quite unbecoming. Your earlier actions in the year are far clearer to everyone involved, and your choice of becoming a huntsman is that of your own. However, due to your lack of training it could be dangerous. I recognize your wish to help others, but you must also realize that if something where to happen to you due to being inexperienced your friends and family would be devastated."

Penny kept a solid face as she turned towards everyone, "The lack of training showed in your near inability to hold a sword. Though you do pick up on context quickly, and were able to gain experience due to the help of your team, Namely Pyrrha it is a strange occurrence."

"Well I mean... it could have meant anything really!"

Penny shook her head, "Having gone over previous recordings it's very obvious how untrained you were. I am very glad that you have been able to pick up on things, as you are a valued friend. Though... like with how no one recognized Blake as a cat faunus at first due to her twitching ribbon, it still perplexes me how no one figured out that you had snuck in prior to the Headmaster revealing the info."

Both Team Rwby and JNPR had the ability to look flustered, as did a few other people.

"Now hold on a minute! Blake always wore the bow, it was hard not to-"

Penny interjected Yang, "She did not change her name, the Belladonna's are a well known family, and it is not a common family name. She also shares various traits with both Kali and Ghira Belladonna. Also she displays rather stereotypical cat attributes, the need to constantly eat fish. The strange fear of dogs, even one much smaller and non aggressive towards her. Her ribbon also twitches. It is surprising that no one on her team was able to recognize this."

"Well that's not fair Penny you see-"

"Weiss, Sun was able to recognize it right away."

Weiss had any argument she was going to make shutdown right there.

"Again, these are as easy as seeing how much of a flirt Neptune is. On record he has attempted to flirt with up to 50 female students till now, hoping to see what sticks."

This of course got Weiss to glare at him.

"Hey now!"

"So yes, it is a bit odd... though I believe my dare was not on Blake nor on Neptune."

She turned back to Jaune who was now shriveling, "Once more, I do believe your decision was idiotic. However- I also appreciate that it has led towards us becoming friends." Penny smiled gently.

This got everyone to calm down, "Oh and one more thing, I do understand that you aren't quite the beast that friend Ciel seems to believe."

"He is!"

"But I must recommend using protection and safety for the foreseeable future. From what I have gathered your mother's side of the family, the Arc's, are well vigored, aura not withstanding. Also there are perhaps some wounds that Aura can not protect against."

Now he and a few other girls were blushing.

"Damn."

It was Blake who spoke.

"I suppose we shouldn't get Penny angry."

Ruby nodded "Agreed..."

Edit: Not me trying to schedule this and realizing it didn’t post 🤦🏻‍♂️

__________________________________________

With every step, you could hear your heart pounding in your ears. Your adrenaline rush prevented you from noticing the sharp briars that tore at your skin and clothes. You could worry about that later. Your only concern now was making it out of this forest.

You had planned your escape from the Elvenkings dungeon for weeks. Today, the opportunity to put your plan into action had finally arisen. As you dodged fallen logs and low hanging branches, you thought of how you came to be here in the first place.

Your head was throbbing as you came to. You attempted opening your eyes, but the bright sunlight forced you to close them again. You could hear strange voices speaking in a foreign tongue. You attempted to move your hands, but they were bound. Forcing your eyes open a second time, you took in your unfamiliar surroundings.

You were in a forest, surrounded by men and women dressed in strange clothes. All of them had long hair that was intricately braided, revealing their...pointy ears? Okay, what on earth was happening here.

“Excuse me, but who are you people? Why am I here?” You voiced. One with blonde hair, you assumed he was their leader, snapped his head towards you.

“You were trespassing on our lands. You are now in the custody of King Thranduil. He shall decide your fate” You gulped. Oh lord, what had you done now?

You were ripped away from your thoughts when you tripped over something in your way.

“Shit!” You hissed at the pain now shooting up your leg. You turned and looked at what had caused you to fall. A small fawn lay trembling at your feet. It didn’t appear injured, but your conscience wouldn’t let you leave until you checked. You extended a hand to the fawn, but it flinched away. “C’mon, I won’t hurt you. I promise,” you reassured. As you were checking the animal over, the sound of a sword being drawn reached your ears. You turned to see the tall figure now standing behind you. You recognized him as one of the guards that had taken you prisoner when you arrived at this miserable place.

“I see we didn’t get very far,” the elf said sarcastically. You dropped your head in defeat.

“Damn my good conscience,” you thought.

___

The first time you were before the Elvenking, he had been perched atop his throne. This time, you met him in his private study. He was seated in a large chair, sipping a glass of rich red wine. He appeared unbothered. You weren’t sure if anything could sway him.

“Leave us,” he commanded the guards placed at the doors. He took another long drink of his wine, then placed it on the table beside him. Neither of you spoke, and the silence was deafening. Thranduil took a deep breath and gestured to the seat adjacent from him, ”Sit.”

You obeyed, the large plush seat nearly swallowing you. You fiddled with your hands-noting that they had been left unbound this time.

“Do you have any idea what the punishment is for those that try to escape my prison?” He questioned. You shook your head in response, not trusting your voice to remain steady. “A more barbaric king would likely have you put to death.” Thranduil noticed you becoming more anxious. “But do not worry, I don’t plan on doing such a thing.”

“O-Oh?” You stuttered.

“You must be quite clever to have out maneuvered my guards,” Thranduil continued as he poured another glass of wine. “It was surprising to learn that your escape failed because you stopped to help a fawn.”

“It wasn’t my greatest decision,” you admitted.

“Perhaps, but I think it’s ultimately been in your favor,” Thranduil hummed.

“What do you mean?” You questioned.

“What I mean is that I’ve reconsidered my original sentence. I believe I may have been quick to judge when you were first brought before me,” Thranduil paused. “I hear of all the happenings in this forest. Humans are typically uncaring of those around them. Despite your situation, you stopped to help another in need of aid. Quite a noble trait to possess, yes?”

“Yes, I suppose,” you replied. You had never considered yourself noble before. Helping others had always felt like the right thing to do.

“If it would be no trouble, I should like you to remain in Mirkwood-as my guest.” There it was. The point that this conversation had been leading to.

“I-Really?” You exclaimed. Just when you thought you were starting to understand how this world worked, you were blind sided once again.

“If you have family you would rather return to, I understand. We would be more than willing to supply you for your journey-“

“Oh, no,” you cut him off (which surprised him). “It’s not that. I just wasn’t expecting it is all. I appreciate the offer, and I totally except.” You were glad to finally move on from being a prisoner. The treatment in Thranduils dungeon was alright, but a prison is still a prison after all.

“Well, then,” said Thranduil, pouring a second glass of wine. “Let’s drink to the hope of newfound friendship,” he offered the glass to you. You accepted and raised your glass to him. A possible friendship with the king? Oh, this was going to be a story to tell.

___

Life in Mirkwood was very pleasant; spending your days exploring the endless gardens and library. You would share dinner with Thranduil once a week. Then twice a week. Then soon you would dine together most nights. You noticed how interested he was in your life-both before you came to Middle Earth and now.

What you didn’t notice were the whispers between the elves. Since the death of his queen, the king had been closed off. Now, he was showing such favoritism to a human woman. Sharing dinner with her. Strolling through the gardens together. Gifting her with clothes and her own dwelling. It wasn’t until Legolas brought it up did Thranduil notice how fond he had become of you.

“Ada?” Legolas asked one day.

“Yes?” Thranduil replied as he leafed through paperwork.

“I’ve seen you’ve become quite partial to (Y/N),” said Legolas.

“Hm, I suppose I have,” Thranduil paused from his work.

“Do you think you may have...romantic feelings for her?” Legolas hesitated before asking.

Thranduils eyes widened at what his son had said. “O-Of course not! Honestly, Legolas, I don’t see why you would say such things!” Legolas gave his father a look and turned to leave.

“If you say so,” Legolas teased before closing the door behind him.

Thranduil pondered over what Legolas had said. Yes-he could see it now. He had slowly become wrapped around your little fingers. Falling for you so slowly he didn’t even notice. He wanted to feel joy-could he have found a second companion at last? But he couldn’t help the guilt that clawed at his stomach. Many elves only married once. Though his wife was deceased, her soul still lingered in the Halls of Mandos. What then? Should he do you both a disservice and pursue his newfound love? Thranduil stood and paced the room, thinking of what he should do. Finally, he called to the guards outside the room. He had made his decision.

“How may we serve you, My King.”

“Tell Lady (Y/N) to pack her things. She must be gone by daybreak tomorrow. She is not to step foot in the Woodland Realm again, understood?”

“Yes, sir.”

Thranduil felt sick. This was for your own good, he kept telling himself. To be with you would only hurt you both. It had to be this way.

___

You wiped away your tears as you packed. You didn’t understand. Mirkwood was your home. Thranduil had become your closest friend, but now he was banishing you? You thought the Elvenking liked you, even entertained the thought that he more than liked you, but not now. Now you felt foolish. Of course it would never work. He was a stupidly handsome immortal king. You were a human girl from a different world.

You threw the last of your belongings into your bag. The guards escorted you out of the castle. Before the cart you were placed upon moved, you took one last look at the kingdom, trying to absorb every detail. The coachman urged the horses forward, and that was it. You would never see Thranduil again. As night fell, so did your tears.

Little did you know, you weren’t the only one who cried that night.
