Im cursing [REDACTED] right NOW
Tumblr media
#god i better never have contact with this guy again or i might flip out on him#im about to ramble about my past “dating" adventures (we were casual but sheesh cant even be friends with this guy tbh)#im realizing months later how much this guy i used to talk to sucked#like DUDE be a better or stay single FOREVER (ΘдΘ)#and by that i mean learn how to better handle approaching others feelings!#god the way he would just shutdown others ppls feelings and it was just an endless loop of “that doesnt make sense” or “thats dumb”#sure emotions can be irrational but if someone is desperately TRYING to explain why they feel a way (even if theyre struggling to be clear)#maybe dont be so dismissive#like literally one time i was annoyed cause talking to him was grating on my nerves#and i was like ik it doesnt make sense so let me step away cause im annoyed#and hes like trying to logic me out of my annoyance???#like worstie im literally walking away so i can cool off#leave it be!#god looking back on all this....#i hope to god whoever hes talking to (if hes talking to anyone) isnt dealing with similar things#ppl can change so ill just hope for that#or maybe he'll meet his match#someone who reflects the same energy he has!#tho im not sure if hed like that haha#the guy seemed to have a lot of relationship problems in general (romantic and platonic) and i wanted to have the benefit of the doubt#but now im thinking maybe his personality was also just clashing with everyone elses#which isnt necessarily a bad thing on its own#gotta get context for everything u know#but in this case....naur#like im a pretty anxious person so how ppl i care about will react to what im doing or saying is constantly at the back of my mind!#so ppl who just come off as flippant about my fee fees annoy me fr#im like “ahh what if i upset so and so” constantly#trying to make sure not to make things harder for them#and they cant even spare me a single thought before doing something and dismiss me when i get upset#but also they wanna come to me when theyre feeling sad about something???

hear me out… maneater!reader x fuckboy!eren
“i can do the fuck i want, eren. you aint nothin’ special.” your fingers press the phone up to your ear, you smirking as you pull your joint and sigh out smoke. “you think that just because you get pussy once from a bitch, you hot shit.”
“you know it was more than once, but you wouldnt know how this dick is.” he barks back, on the other end— his cock were in his hands.. well, through his sweats. “you could know, though.. only if you let daddy eren fuck ya.”
“hard pass, you probably nut within four strokes.” that obviously struck a nerve, him getting quiet and sucking his teeth. “what? i hurt your feelings, baby?”
“you think yer’ hot shit, you think you funny until a man take you out and fuck you stupid.” he liked the attention, the aggressive responses you gave. it made him bricked— aching because damn.. you really wont give him a chance? hes been hollerin’ at you for a minute, just one night bro, thats it. shit, he bets reiner tapped that at one point.
“boy, please.. i eat men like you for breakfast, you cant handle a pussy that is owned by me.” yeah, he was heated. you can tell when he breathes heavy. (thats.. what you think at least.) “now— if we done here, id like to get back to my movie.”
“bitch—“
the line drops, the beeps of the disconnect signal alerting three times, and he sucks his teeth. you were fucking annoying, always being so cold and ruthless. you had a smart mouth, he wonders if anyone other than reiner has even touched down on you yet.. who else could it be?
hed never know.. not like you would tell him that reiner did infact hit it from the back at one point, and how connie got on his knees to have you squirt in his mouth.

Bull!Bakugou x dairy cow! Reader
I'd like to clarify that I do NOT support the dairy industry in any way. Fuck those dairy-farm-running motherfuckers
This is purely to sedate my lactation kink.
Tumblr media
Bull!bakugou who refuses to let his favorite cow stay in the stuffy barn all dairy cows are kept in, not trusting the farmhands to properly take care of you. Instead dragging you to the separate shelter used to house the pasture's handful of bulls
Even though each bull is separated by a few wooden planks, (meant to prevent fights) he is still wary of the others, not wanting anyone else getting close to you. He just wants to protect you
Bull!Bakugou who cant get enough of your milk, his favorite meal.
Bull!Bakugou who spends long expenses of time draining your tits, never unlatching. Still continuing to suckle even after he's had his fill and then some
Bull!Bakugou who only groans at you whenever you tell him to be gentle, the harsh suction being too much to handle. But he never listens, not letting up on his rough eagerness to drink everything you have to offer
Bull!Bakugou who starts acting like a calf again once he tastes your milk for the first time. Snubbing his nose at the feed given by the farm, only wanting to feed from you. Besides, you can provide him with more nutrients than any hay ever could
Bull!Bakugou who soon realizes how much water you need to drink to accommodate with milk production. Now keeping a tub of water in his stall to keep you hydrated. It's like your own little water trough
With your new constant access to water has you drinking more than usual, thus bakugou finds out drinking more means more milk
Bull!Bakugou is now constantly having you drink large amounts throughout the day. Doing this to the point that you're so full of milk, there are constant streams of the sweet liquid running from your nipples and down your torso
Bull!Bakugou who can't fall asleep without a tit in his mouth. Relaxed by the feeling of a full stomach
Bull!Bakugou who knows milk contains antibodies, as to why it always helps sick calves
Bull!Bakugou who milks you by hand, collecting the nutrients in an empty jar when your I'll. Feeding it to you, saying it'll make you better and damn well believing it
The farmhands are always left confused when they hook you up to the milking machines, but end up without get as much milk out of you as they should
Meanwhile Bull!Bakugou is watching from a distance. A droplet of milk adorning the corner of his smirking lips

omg can you write how the 141 would react to fem reader (who never wears makeup or dresses up) who has to dress up for a mission at the club? AHGFJ i cant get this out of my head bro im weeping gaz would go RED
"how do i look?" - task force 141 x reader
Tumblr media
overview: task force 141 reacting to you getting dolled up for a mission
pairing: task force 141 x fem reader, romantic
genre: fluff, spice
a/n: hi anon! YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABOUT GAZ 😭 i loooove this scenario a lot. thanks for the request! i hope you love it teehee :) (and omg johnny's eyes i'm giggling)
x simon "ghost" riley
When Simon’s assigned to go on this mission with you, he’s already cursing under his breath. Clubs have never been his forte–the loud music and crowded, drug and alcohol-filled atmosphere isn’t exactly something he’s comfortable with. 
And the fact that you’re supposed to go as his date isn’t helping his case either. 
Simon has always had a thing for you. He loves many things about you, but he adores that you stay true to yourself most of all. You always do what you want, never putting in unnecessary energy to please others. He can relate to that–it feels nice to have someone who understands. 
And that is one of the reasons why you never wear makeup or dress up. You don’t feel like you have to–not for yourself, not for anyone else. 
So he doesn’t know what to expect when he’s standing outside, waiting for you to finish getting ready so you can head out with him. 
He’s waiting anxiously, standing with his hands in the pocket of his black hoodie. He finds you beautiful either way, of course. You could be in the most ridiculous outfit known to man, and he’d still be completely enamored by you. But it’s only natural for him to get a reaction to you being all dolled up, right? Anyhow, he’s hoping that he won’t. 
“Sorry, I took so long!” You exclaim, running out to him after a few minutes, snapping him out of his thoughts. 
The second Simon looks up to meet your eyes, his eyes widen. You look so pretty, so new and confident. He has never seen you this dressed up before, so it’s still kind of weird to him, but you look so gorgeous he can’t take his eyes off you. 
“How do I look?” You ask, smiling at him and giving him a spin. 
He’s so grateful he’s wearing his mask, or else you would be able to see the intense blush he has on his face. 
“Good. Let’s go.” He simply says, looking you up and down before he walks to the driver's seat, trying so hard not to make his attraction to you obvious.
“Just good?” You keep poking at him, smirking as you pick up on his lingering gaze. It’s so undeniable that he’s checking you out. “I spent an hour on my makeup, Lt. I’d appreciate a compliment.” “Jesus Christ, Y/N.” He sighs, turning to you with his piercing cold gaze. But his look doesn’t make your body erupt in goosebumps like it usually would. His eyes are soft even though he’s glaring daggers at you. “You look beautiful. Now let’s go, soldier. We don’t have all day.” “Thank you, Lt.” 
Even though he looks fine on the outside, he’s screaming inside. He nearly ran over the curb on the way to the club–that’s how much his mind wandered. 
He’s suddenly very protective over you, as well. He knows you can handle your own, but if any man looks at you too long in the club, he’s looming behind you like your shadow, standing close to you as you walk through the crowd. 
He checks in on you constantly during the mission. “Anyone annoying you?” “You comfortable?” “Do you need help?” It’s not out of the ordinary for him to check in now and then during missions, but this? It’s almost getting excessive. 
After the mission, he’s much calmer and softer. He’s much like his usual self around you, yet he has an element of shyness weighing down on him. He almost seems flustered. That aura will never leave him as long as he has the image of your outfit in his head.
x john "soap" mactavish
When Johnny’s assigned to go on this mission with you, saying he’s excited is an understatement. 
He’s going to get to go on a mission with you? And you’re going to be all dolled up? It’s like a dream. 
You’re always beautiful to him - like you got sculpted with such care and thought you could present as the main attraction at a museum. He’s always been a gawker, staring at you whenever he can, just drinking your features and imagining what it would be like to hold you. 
He will stare no matter what - you’re that stunning to him, and no tactical gear or scrubs could ever deduct from your beauty. But he has never seen you in clubbing attire before. It’s always refreshing to see you in different styles of clothes and disguises. It humanizes you. 
So, best believe he’s thrilled that he will see you with a flattering outfit and cute makeup. 
He’s standing outside of your door as you get ready. He’s waiting for you so you can go to the mission briefing together. Unbeknownst to him, Johnny won’t be able to focus on the briefing with you next to him. 
“You done yet, lass?” He taps his foot on the ground, grumbling as he leans against the wall by your door. “Yeah, give me a minute. They provided me with fuckin’ donut-scented perfume.” You sigh, making Johnny laugh a little. “Donuts smell good, though.” He shrugs. “Luckily…” 
“Okay, I’m ready.” You eventually step out, catching Johnny by complete surprise. He hoped he’d get a warning, a minute to prepare himself. 
And my God, he needs it. 
His jaw instantly drops at the sight of you. It’s safe to say you’ve left him speechless. You look so perfect, unlike anything he has ever seen. It almost feels corny to him–how starstruck you’ve got him.
After what feels like an eternity, he steps closer to you and gently holds your waist, his cheeks turning into a deep crimson color. 
“You look amazin’, lass.” He softly says, his rough hands feeling you up gently. “So beautiful.” He just can’t stop looking at you, his jaw still touching the floor as his eyes scan your flustered frame and face. “Thank you, John.” 
“I don’t even wanna go on the mission anymore. I just wanna look at you.” He purrs, his soft blue eyes meeting yours. “God, I wish.” You snicker, punching his shoulder playfully. “We’re already late to the briefing as is. We gotta move, Sergeant.” “Unfortunately.” 
There’s something so different about Johnny on this mission. The way he is with you is worlds apart from his attitude to everyone else. He’s as soft as a koala with you, clinging to you as you navigate around the booming club. He’s constantly whispering sweet nothings into your ear, praising you for doing the bare minimum. “You’re doin’ great, bonnie.” “Look at you… stunning.” “Aren’t you lookin’ pretty?” “Good job, beautiful.” 
But if only you can see how he’s glaring daggers at everyone else. Any man who steps too close for comfort to you needs to go through Johhny first. Nobody messes with you on his watch. He’s acting like your fucking guard dog–that’s how bad it is. 
After the mission… Good God, you’re in for it. 
Clingy™️. You thought he was clingy in the club? It is nothing compared to how much of a lost puppy he is around you now. He just wants to be around you and nobody else. 
x kyle "gaz" garrick
Kyle isn’t surprised John assigned him to go on this mission with you. You’re both young, efficient, and skillful. What better candidates are there for this?
He is, however, overjoyed. Going on missions alone with you will always be one of Kyle’s favorite things, the intimacy and romance of it all making his heart burst. But this? It is on a whole other level of romance to Kyle. Even if clubs aren’t fairytale-like, the context matters to him. He’s going to the club with you, as your date. How is that not romantic?
He has always loved your look. Not only is it sexy to him how authentic you look, but it has a level of vulnerability to it, which he adores. But he can’t help but wonder–how would you look glammed up? How would you look with a full face and a cute outfit? 
Well, he doesn’t have to wonder anymore. The time has come. 
“Hurry up, Kyle.” You grumble as you stand outside his room, continuously knocking on his door. Surprisingly, he’s putting a lot of effort into his appearance, so much so that he’s taking longer than you did to dress up. “Captain’s gonna come for our asses.” “You excited to see me, is that it?” “Shut up.” 
It takes him a few minutes to finally walk out, and as much as you are mesmerized by his appearance, it is nothing compared to his reaction to your new look. He is RED.
“Wow… you look good, Sergeant.” You give him a nod of approval, a cheeky smile painted on your face. Kyle’s sudden silence makes your eyes flicker to his own, only to be met by his awed expression. 
He takes all of you in, drinking in your appearance before his eyes meet yours. “Damn, soldier.” He whistles, stepping closer to you and giving you a twirl, erupting a hearty laugh from you. “You look great.” Even though his words are simple, they carry a palpable weight. “Thanks, Kyle. Now let’s go.” 
You instantly notice how handsy Kyle is, all of a sudden. He keeps his hand on the small of your back during the whole mission, his touch sending waves of warmth throughout your body. Your outfit hugs your curves perfectly, making it impossible for him to keep his hands away from you. You look stunning.
He even drags you onto the club’s dance floor, resting his hands on your hips and bringing you closer to him, your bodies swaying to the music. He insists it’s for blending into the crowd, but everybody knows he’s spewing complete bullshit. But you don’t mind. 
However, you two finished the mission with flying colors, your teamwork proving to be excellent once more. (Kyle is sure it’s because of the dancing.)
He has never put such thought and care into a mission report in his life. He’s secretly hoping John will assign him and you on more of these missions together. He just can’t get enough of this new look of yours. 
He still adores your usual air. Your laidback and natural beauty makes his heart skip a beat every time. But damn, your confidence in that club makes him lose his mind. 
He craves more of it.
x john price
John knows better than anyone how capable you are. How strong and essential you are to the team. He immediately assigns you to go on this mission because of your ability to complete your tasks flawlessly and smoothly. And who better to go on this mission with you than him?
He knows he’s doing this for the mission’s sake but still gets this unwavering guilt as he waits for you outside by the car. You’ve got this unique aura everyone’s drawn to, even if you aren’t everyone's taste. You’re so courageous and likable, so unapologetically yourself. There’s just something about you. He can’t help but like you. And he feels like he’s solely going on this mission with you because of his biased feelings–because he chose you two to go together. It’s so shameful. He’s your Captain, for fuck’s sake. 
“What’s got you stressing, Cap?” You break him out of his storm of thoughts when you walk towards him, looking more alluring than ever. He could look at you for hours. Your outfit hugs your curves perfectly, your makeup extenuates your features, and your scent makes you smell like you came straight from heaven. You look like a literal angel. There’s no denying that.
“Well, don’t you look breathtaking?” He gives you a soft smile, stepping closer to you and taking all of you in. “Ready to go?” He can’t let himself get too distracted. You’ve still got a mission to complete. It is proving to be more difficult than usual, though–not because of the objective itself but because of you. 
“Thanks, Captain.” You chuckle, nodding. “Yep. All ready.” 
Focusing on the road is rougher than it seems. With you sitting next to John, he can’t look anywhere but you. The mere sight of you is just killing him. 
Focusing on the mission isn’t as hard, but it’s still bothersome when he could be holding you in his arms, admiring your newfound beauty and look. He’s trying his hardest not to act possessive. To not be closer than he needs to be. Again–he has a job to get done.
But at the end of the day, unlike everyone else, he knows how to control himself and finish the mission quickly and efficiently. 
After the mission, however, you’re not off the hook. 
Since he’s your Captain, he needs to keep himself in check. Having a relationship with you is dangerous for you both, which is why he’s discreet with his favoritism and feelings. 
Now all of a sudden, he’s assigning you on far too many disguise missions, the ones that require you to get dolled up. Of course, he’s still so smitten by default. Like Johnny, he feels that no amount of imperfections can take away from your beauty. But seeing you in those dresses… that makeup… it does something to John. He can’t get enough of it. 
And obviously, he’s going with you on those missions. 
And suddenly, it’s not about the missions anymore but about you. John’s not doing this because you’re skilled–John’s doing this because it’s the closest he’ll ever get to being with you.

Hello ! Is it possible to request an heartsteel kayn x reader ?
Reader has own band they're the funder and leader off and they're comforting kayn after he got kicked out from his group ? (Ofc they're lovers your honor)
I just want to see your takes on this one tbh
✿ Prompt: Kayn gets kicked out of his old band ✿
♡ champion focus: kayn ♡ tw: none! ♡ Gender-neutral reader
Author's Note: I'm not going to lie anon, I skipped over a bunch of requests the minute yours popped up tbh (⸝⸝ᴗ﹏ᴗ⸝⸝) ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 I got super inspired by your prompt and had to do it immediately before I forgot some of my ideas! So I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Rarely were there things that bothered Kayn. He has always been well known for his "I don't give a damn attitude" and being the infamous rule breaker that always gets what he wants!
But lately, you can tell a recent predicament left him crushed.
Even though Kayn refuses to outwardly show his deeper and innermost feelings, you can tell how upset he has been about his band kicking him out.
The indefinite solos, stage dives, narcissistic talks about his superiority over the others, and toxic publicity Kayn gave them had grown to be too much... So much so that they had to make the hard decision to let him go.
"They just didn't have what it takes to be flawless like me!" "They just were going to hold me back!" "Can you believe they called me toxic? I swear, they just suck!" Despite all the excuses Kayn makes you know deep down he is hurting inside. How could he not be? They were together for so long and they just let him go!
Kayn's grief comes in waves, but he'll never let anyone see him cry. Instead, he'll lash out on Twitter, screaming and starting petty fights so he can stay the least bit relevant. And boy does his long-time fans eat it up!
"you'll never catch up to me but i'd love to see you try" "you cant handle me? that's ur problem" "U CANT EVEN TOUCH ME"
You might have to take his phone and laptop away for a couple of hours so he doesn't continue to make things worse for himself...
He is truly one to stress eat and then lay under the covers for extensive periods of time when you aren't at his side to comfort him, let alone show him some attention!
It comes to a point where the most you can do is just give him a long, comforting hug. Despite how busy you are managing your own band, you aren't going to neglect your boyfriend's feelings.
For the first time ever, Kayn will find himself sinking into your touch... To him, just one gentle hug alone made him feel like the tension and weight he was carrying were slipping from his shoulders.
It will be the first time you'll ever see Kayn cry. But maybe one good cry is all he'll need to pick himself back up and continue to push forward.
The last thing you can ever hope to make Kayn believe is someone else is going to leave him. That was the last thing he needed right now. No, you weren't going anywhere- you were going to always be by his side...

Buffy has always been VERY intelligent and clever. She’s a quick thinker and very resourceful.
When Anya becomes a vengeance demon again Buffy doesn’t take action against her until she causes a massacre that also traumatizes a young girl so can we PLEASE stop this narrative of Buffy just easily and carelessly deciding to kill Anya?
Because not only was it not a quick and easy decision HER GOAL WAS NEVER TO KILL HER THAT’S WHY SHE GRABBED A SWORD SHE KNOWS SWORDS DONT KILL VENGEANCE DEMONS AS IS ESTABLISHED IN SEASON 6!!!!!
She recognized self destruction after heartbreak because of her own and Willow’s in season 6 and she knew talking with Anya would get her NO WHERE just like Spike trying to talk her out of turning herself in to the police when she thought she killed katrina because she believed she deserved to be punished and trying to reason with dark willow was completely pointless
She uses the fight to force Anya to confront the reality and what the consequences will be if she continues down this path while ensuring this fight won’t actually kill her. Buffy knows she can’t ignore this and she can’t waste time struggling with the decision of whether or not to kill her because she did that with Angel and so many more people died in the process.
BUFFY IS GROWN!!! SHE HAS LEARNED FROM ALL HER EXPERIENCE AND MISTAKES AND IT SHOWS!!!!!! But everyone is so used to her TORTURING herself over these kinds of decisions they’re unable to recognize she has gained the wisdom and experience to act instinctively and decisively even when no one else agrees because SHE KNOWS it’s right and that is always proven to be true!!!!!! She is finally not letting a bunch of people who are not the slayer tell her how to be the slayer because she never should have been listening to anyone else in the first place. She’s proven to be right time and time again with Spike, Anya, Caleb and y’all still are doubting her….. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!!!!! AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING THE RIGHT CALL!!!!!!! How anyone can watch her owning her shit as a leader and a slayer clearly demonstrating the last 6 years of suffering weren’t for nothing as she is now confident in herself and her judgement and think she’s heartless or stupid or careless or biased I just CANT. USE YOUR BRAINS!!! LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CONTEXT OF THE SHOW IM BEGGING YOU FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY
It’s also the perfect way to show xander how cruel and heartless him always telling/shaming/guilting her to kill angel is at the same time. He finally got a taste of his own medicine and he couldn’t handle it even a little. She showed what a fucking hypocrite he’s always been because everyone else? If you love someone who’s done evil you’re a horrible person and they need to die but if it’s someone HE loves it’s different even though Anya has definitely caused more deaths than angel and spike combined and was forced to be good rather than it being her own choice and went BACK to being evil of her own free will after he actually fucked up and caused all of this in the first place while never taking any blame himself even though he blamed buffy for angel and spike’s actions any chance he could even the ones directed at her when the blame never lied with her in the first place
Y’all see a woman not torturing herself over every little thing and being confident and you’re like wow what a cold heartless bitch and that’s GROSS and just absolutely reeking of misogyny

thinking so hard about agent curt mega i sort of am losing my shit because he just cares so much. about saving the world. about other people. about being the saviour he thought he was always meant to be. about owen. and how throughout the show we see curt struggle so much trying reckon with all that feeling, that vulnerability, and ultimately that grief. and his humanity.
right from the moment the curtains part, and we meet curt, we are greeted by the the thing that defines most of curt's personhood---his cool, cocky persona as a spy. as a hero, in his eyes---throwing himself into the heat of action to defeat the bad guys, "overthrow" an evil power, "save the world again." he and owen handle bombs and murder men like its nothing, grinning as they fight guards and are pursued by enemy agents. they're the definition of confident, competent, strong. the best in the field. its the thing he takes most pride in, boasting about his success and skill, actively making things harder for himself and owen just for the fun of it. he presents himself entirely as this one dimensional character---the good guy. the one who gets things done, who saves the world, the brave, daring hero of this story that you trust to do the right thing.
and then owen falls. and in one, full swoop, that image---that thing that curt prides so much of himself on---is blown to bits. because owen falls, and its his fault, and seeing the body of his partner laying broken on the ground is too much for him to bear, so he runs. he isn't brave. he isn't selfless. in the one moment that it really, truly mattered, he could not save the man he loved. he could not do the right thing. he wasnt the person that he had so desperately tried to be. and i think that haunted him, afterwards---that moment of selfishness, that moment where he was a coward. he ran and left his partner behind to save his own skin, because he was afraid, and he didnt know what to do. because at the end of the day, he's not just a tool for his government or this flawless, incredible spy. he's human, and he made irredeemable mistakes, and theres nothing he can do to fix it.
so when he comes back to spying, when he gets that second chance to try again---he wants to escape his humanity entirely. he refuses to acknowledge his fear, refuses to let go of what is ultimately a hopeless mission, is cocky and brash and everything he thinks a spy needs to be. he can't let himself feel, can't let himself acknowledge his emotion, cant let him confront how much he cares, because thats what made him kill owen. he can't live with being anything other than that untouchable hero he has always tried to be. at his core, he wants, desperately, to be good. to be the man that the world looks up to, righteous and fearless and the protector you can rely on, the american hero---not the deeply flawed, deeply human gay man he is, who would be shunned and criminalized if anyone knew. he needs to be good, to mean something, so much that he cannot bear trying to be anyone else.
and so he tries, and tries, and tries. and it ends with a bullet in the brain of the man he loves, and a mission he was always doomed to never complete, and the failure of not being the person he never could've been in the first place. he cared. so much that it made him unravel.

🌊 When you were called upon by Zeus, one of your oldest allies, to fight in Ragnarok, Indra was initially very persistent on you not doing this
🌊 But seeing how your opponent, Timothy Dexter, also known as the ‘Luckiest Idiot in History’, he felt a bit more at ease
🌊 Then the fight ensued and he kept, somehow, dodging and your attacks missed
🌊 Shiva and the other Hindu Gods could sense his slight nervousness from miles away, and it made them look at you with suspicion, maybe this human would be the death of you
🌊 Indra watched as you summoned your 12 Shikigami and he smirked, lightning his second cigarette with his lightning, knowing now you were getting serious
🌊 Seeing the human tranquilize and turn into shattered glass made him fully smile, knowing you were safe
🌊 Afterwards while he watched you mess around with Shiva, since he had only one arm while the others were regrowing, his joy grew
🌊 You were safe, and that's all that mattered

🐍 He wanted to fight in Ragnarok himself
🐍 But watching you fight could suffice his urges for the moment
🐍 Once the human known as Timothy Dexter tried hitting you, his face turned from his prideful smile, to a deadly grimace
🐍 Loki did not like watching a human try harming his S/O, especially with their own attacks
🐍 He has seen you fight Gods, so he knew how powerful you were, but this human’s luck was immaculate, it even scared him!
🐍 When he saw you start getting serious, his smirk grew until he started to cackle like a psychopath
🐍 That's when everyone knew, that human was done for.
🐍 Eventually the match ended with Humanity's loss and Gods' win, and everyone on their side cheered for you, especially your husband
🐍 Loki hugged you and cooed how strong and amazing you were against that pathetic and feeble human

📨 You were giddy when he told you of your upcoming battle in Ragnarok, and he followed with a chuckle as you hugged him, thanking him for the opportunity to smash a human to bits
📨 Hermes watched next to his father as you smiled and made fun of this so called 'Luckiest Idiot in History' and he couldn't help but laugh with you
📨 His luck was immense, but he knew your 12 Shikigami could defeat him with ease
📨 Nobody had survived it yet, and nobody ever will. Unless you said they could, of course!
📨 When the round ended with your smooth victory, he relished in the happy smile you gave him and Zeus as you strolled up to where your husband was

🪶 It was as if the whole Norse main family was fighting
🪶 Thor, Loki, Odin, and you were all set to fight in Ragnarok, and after Thor's first round, you were set for the third, before Poseidon and a random human
🪶 Odin watched as you smiled, patted your nephew and son's heads before kissing your life-long husband and preparing for battle
🪶 He knew you could handle yourself to any degree, you've fought in many wars together throughout the years
🪶 You stared at the human with sadism in your eyes while you husband glared with your son, and your nephew cheered you on loudly from the stands
🪶 Timothy Dexter? What a pathetic mortal. It made your husband's birds caw vicious words at him, causing Loki to laugh at him
🪶 Your battle was quick and sweet, only being delayed for 14 minutes because of your wish to see the human gain confidence before shattering their entire beings
🪶 It made Odin smirk sadistically as himself as the human shattered into nothing while you floating around Heimdall before returning to the comfort of his lap

The relationship that is Buck and Eddie.
Like how can I even explain them; I really can’t atleast not smartly or as effortlessly as other people can.
How do I say this ? Buck and Eddie are each others soulmates.
They’re each other’s person; you know. They rely on one another and they respect each other on the same level. They don’t see one as on higher level or that their relationship is that one is something and the other isn’t.They’re equal to each other.
Buck is Eddie’s- he’s Eddie’s best-friend and someone eddie has no problem telling things too. Because he knows Buck will listen he knows Buck will have his back and be there for him to bed of his abilities.
And the same thing goes for Buck. He. Could go Eddie and tell him things he couldn’t Maddie or Bobby. He knows telling Eddie things are a judge free zone; and it’s more of just listening and being there for him. And even if they aren’t telling each other things the exact minute that it happens- they know eventually when the other is ready to talk about they’ll talk about it.
And they have their moments where they hide- when they think they should be able to handle things on their own. And I don’t know how else to put it 😭
But Buck and Eddie are their own genre of love and understanding. It’s nothing the other won’t do for the other or try to do you know ?
They are in love and have so much love for the other- and it’s like they won’t have that with anyone else.
Because no one else could compare
Because no will know what it was for buck tasting Eddie’s blood—No one will know what it felt like when it splattered across his face.
No one will feel how felt trying to claw his way through the dirt for Eddie
Won’t know how he felt when he lost Christopher in that tsunami and didn’t know how to tell his best-friend that he did.
No one will understand how Buck feels when he hears gunshots and Eddie isn’t around him.
They won’t understand that even though Eddie had a straight face the entire- he was ridiculously worried for Buck when that fire-engine blew up on-top of him.
They won’t understand that even though he was pissed during the lawsuit; all he wanted was to be able to see and talk to his best-friend
Won’t get that Eddie was afraid that Buck valued his life less than everyone’s and the only way to get him to be serious- was to give him an important part of himself.
That won’t understand 3:17
They cant understand the fear of losing and wanting someone like that. They won’t understand why Eddie and Buck need each other and have each other.
Honestly no one who tries and has tried being being with them will understand.
And because of they won’t ever understand it’ll probably be the reason they can’t ever be in a relationship with them.
___________________________
In my mind Buck and Eddie are inevitable

i probably sound like a spoilt brat.

i literally can't stop rotating hunger au worldbuilding and lore in my head. forgive me if you've ever touched on this in an ask before, but... re: the existential horror of being a parasite that has the sense of self of the host it ate. if one of grian's friends ever did get taken and used as a watcher larva host. how do you think he would feel about the watcher that came out the other side? would he want to see them as still the same person as his friend, or...?
Ive been staring at this ask since i got it with like. I need you to picture the most comically heartbroken expression right now okay. like this is me reading that and thinking about it in great and terrible detail:
Tumblr media
Gods he would be devastated if this ever happened. He knows what thats like. He knows just how much it hurts-- and that its not a hurt that can be quantified, because its just that intense, that scalding, that encompassing of an experience to go through. I think, genuinely, Grian would be so utterly horrified and grief-stricken for whichever friend went through the Watcherification process that it would trump every other potential feeling on the list
But i think, ultimately, he would still view them as his friend, and treat them in the same way. There's a little bit of hypocrisy in Grian's character that i enjoy engaging with while writing him, and a good part of that in hunger au is centered around how he's firmly designated himself as the monster, and everybody else is the victim, and theres no room for nuance because he sucks and theyre the only people who are valid. When in reality, yes he hurt them, yes he did terrible and invasive things, but he did them out of pure survival rather than maliciousness, and that does make a subtle difference. And... hes not the only one who has fucked up, either!! The entire point of hunger au is how everyone has fumbled the bag in various ways and now they're all trying to clean it up together. Its just, yknow, Grian is so wrapped up in his own pain that he cant see those grey areas yet
And the thing is, if one of his friends got Watchered™, so to speak, and was standing in front of him, i think he would treat them with SO much compassion. Theyve been through possibly the worst thing anyone can experience and come out the other side-- at his core, Grian is i think a character who wants to do good, and do good by other people, and in this hypothetical that would translate into a lot of kindness he doesnt usually afford for himself. Honestly i think he'd spend the time trying to show them the ropes, get them set up in a better position than he found himself in, and provide his own fumbling emotional support as best he could, just out of sheer solidarity. Like, he gets it. He's been there. He may as well help out.
And i think he wouldnt even realize how hypocritical he's being until someone else pointed it out to him, about how he treats this friend with so much care but is simultaneously cruel to himself. I dont think he'd know how to handle that-- he's sort of dug himself a rut in the road with the way he thinks about and treats himself, and the cognitive dissonance would be really uncomfortable for him. Ultimately a good thing!!! Growth is often very uncomfortable. But imo Grian has a tendency to run from things like feelings of discomfort, so i think it'd take him a while to reconcile his previous ways of thinking with whats being presented in front of him essentially in the form of a mirror.
So uh. tl;dr: he'd be a little hypocrite about it and would feel a lot more compassionately inclined towards the friend than he does himself, and would try to help them out as best he could. Thank you for the incredible question that has given me the opportunity to rotate this worm at even higher speeds than usual inside my brainpan DKNFEKNDSKDJKDKD

Could I get horrortale papyrus, horrorfell papyrus, underfell papyrus, and undertale papyrus with a SO who has adhd and autism. There love Language is also like a crow (bonks for affection, small gifts, etc.)
Of course you can. I loved writing this! Thank you for sending it my way, I hope you enjoy it!
I definitely didn't go a bit self-indulgent with Charon’s bit, nope not at all, I don't know what you talking about.
Charon: UF Papyrus
Bean: HT Papyrus
Thatch: HF Papyrus
Time to cast some magic and see what we’ll get!✨
Tumblr media
✨✨
Papyrus: Oh, this sweetheart adores you and your bonks. Papyrus is quite the affectionate fellow, so while his way to show affection are hugs and skelekisses he is more than open to accept your own ways of affection with open arms. He is also more than happy to return your preferred method of showing affection if that gives you the most comfort.
Papyrus finds it so precious that your love language is like that of a crow. When he first learns about it he is like “WOWIE! THAT IS SO FASCINATING.” Which 100% means that the first thing he’s gonna to do when he gets home is researching all about crow’s social behavior and their habits and behavior towards family and mates. He’s just so fascinated and curious! The next time you bonk him he has found a whole new layer adoration for you.
Papyrus keeps every single gift inside his closet, the place where he keeps his knick knacks and just everything that he has emotional attachments to or have meanings behind it - at least the ones that fit in there. The closet is a sort comfort space for Papyrus, so whenever he feels lost or stressed or feels like he has an existential crisis, he feels the need to be surrounded by comforting objects, hence the closet. Your gifts have a special section dedicated to them. It’s at eye level so he can easily find and look at them again.
✨✨
Charon: This man is a not so secret secret simp. I’m telling you, believe me. Like you may be sayin the most randomest shit ever out of nowhere with no context provided whatsoever leaving everyone going like “what?” Because they don’t see the train of thought you are going through. And Charon is standing there at the side absolutely loving. He finds it very endearing how at one point you could be talking about the weather and suddenly you bring up that “sometimes, dogs eat each other's poo”. It’s so out of nowhere it makes Charon burst out laughing or makes him at least chuckle sometimes. He finds your mind endearing he cant help it.
At first, Charon was quite confused with the bonks. He didn’t know what they meant or why you did them, but he appreciated it either way. Because it was you, his lovely mate who did them. But oh boy, were his cheekbones filled with a scarlet flush when he finally found out it was your way of showing affection. Now he just gets internally excited whenever you come up to him to give him one of your bonks. He may think he got himself together but it’s so obvious - to those who know him - that his face perks up slightly whenever a bonk is about to happen. Charon - mostly in private - returns your affection by placing a skelekiss on the top of your head or upon your hand. (A skelekiss is kinda like a bonk since he doesn’t have any lips.)
Gifts mean a lot to Charon in general. You have no idea how big of a thing it is to Charon, the first time you came bearing a gift for him, Charon was left speechless. Silently, gingerly accepting your gift while his gaze keeps flickering over towards you and the gift for a good while before he finally manages to utter so uncharacteristically quiet: “T-This is for me..?”
Someone save this poor boy’s soul, he can handle flirting and territorial behavior between mates. But this? This is something else entirely and someone, anyone, spare his poor soul from the warm flutterings that are erupting from within him like a volcano. You have no clue what you just did, or you did and you had planned this, planned to leave this man without a single breath left to gasp with. It’s quite the beautiful sight I must say.
Charon doesn’t know what to do or say, for you see; back in the underground, gifting a mate a gift is something big and something special because it is such a rare thing to happen. Monsters used to pick mates yes, but that’s more a fling than something serious. Leaving yourself vulnerable to another was a high risk to take, monsters used to trust no one. So when a mate gifts a gift it’s a display to everyone else to let them know that they and their mate are taken, and anyone that dares to mess with either of them there will be consequences. It’s only done when one’s sure they can protect the both of them from potential enemies that try to target either of them. But it is also a vow, an indication of their love and affection. Gifting a gift is practically a declaration: ‘you are the one that I want and the one I’ll keep wanting, I’m prepared to fight for us.’
Charon treasures every. Single. Gift you give him. Every. Single. One. You gave him a bracelet? He wears it every day with pride, it's the first one he puts on before putting on the other bracelets he has. You made him something? He has placed it proudly in his room or throughout the house. Charon doesn’t really make gifts, and he doesn’t call stuff he buys for you gifts. To him it's just something he bought for you. (Funny that actually, because if you buy him something he does consider it a gift.) Charon is more a person who cooks for his loved ones. So he definitely shows his affection by providing you delicious meals.
✨ ✨
Bean: His soul warms up with fluff whenever you decide to give him a loving bonk. Purrs rumble through him as your head makes contact with his bones. Bean finds great comfort in your crow like love language, it soothes him whenever he feels a bit stressed or had a bad day.
You two often share gifts together. Bean makes little music playlists for you or crochet articles of clothes like scarfs, hats and mittens, maybe even socks if you don’t mind. He really appreciates gifts you give him, although every now and again, especially in the beginning or on bad days, he's hesitant to accept them because he feels as if he isn’t worthy of them. Give him some time, he’ll come around once his inner demons have left him alone. Or you could also on the bad days leave your gifts in front or inside Bean’s room, somehow that makes accepting said gifts without hesitance much easier.
✨✨
Thatch: Oh stars, spare his poor soul. You are too precious, how do you exist? What has Thatch done to deserve you? Thatch loves you so wholly and deeply, it sometimes scares himself a bit. You could just be doing your own thing, something very uniquely you, and he notices, and he stills. He’s reminded by the soft warmth flooding his soul how much you mean to him.
This sweetheart practically melts into a goopy Lovestruck puddle whenever you give him a bonk.
No, really, believe me, I’ll tell you why.
Whenever you wanna give Thatch that affectionate bonk of yours you have to ask him to lean down or climb upon something to become taller. (There’s no other way to reach his face, Thatch is a tall boy, and when I say tall I mean tall.)
And whenever you do, Thatch already knows what’s going to happen and his poor soul can’t handle it. He can’t handle it, his cheeks are already getting hot, his soul is skipping around as if it’s dancing in the clouds, and all Thatch can do is accept his fate. The first time you gave him an affectionate bonk, you had K.Oed him. Frozen stiff he stood there, the only sign of life was that high whistle that slipped past Thatch’s teeth and his face that gradually erupted in a mahogany flush. But how could he not become a mess like that?
It’s just an affectionate bonk, but to Thatch it feels so intimate, as he stares with wide sockets into your eyes. It’s a priceless thing, the soft touch upon his forehead. The proximity of you renders his mind blank, he can practically feel your warmth and breath flutter against him like a loving whisper between lovers and it’s you, so completely you, and oh stars, he’s so doomed.
(And a purring mess.)
Thatch returns your affection (if he isn’t rendered stunned by the love that floods him) by tracing his knuckles oh so gently across your cheek.
Thatch has a hard time accepting gifts. Not that he doesn’t love them, he does, he just finds it hard to grasp that he deserves them. It’s harder than accepting affection because he can just stand there and let it wash over him, and be lured to lean into it. With gifts, he has to actually reach out and take it. Sounds easy, but to Thatch it isn’t.
Just walk up to him and get his attention, and then shove your gift in his hands. Thatch will automatically hold it on reflex. Immediately let go afterwards and tell him you don’t do ‘take backs’/thank him for accepting it, he won’t be able to try to refuse it for reasons like he ‘doesn’t deserve it’ or any of that nonsense. It’s rude to return an already gifted gift after all, and Thatch is a gentlemonster true and through.😉
But really, give him all the gifts! Shower him in them! He deserves it and he treasures your gifts dearly, yes even if it’s a shiny rock. Especially if it is a shiny rock.

Thank you for participating in this spell, I hope it was to your satisfaction.

DWC Nov 2024 Day 4: Surrender/Tranquil
Tumblr media
Hakan was staring up, up into the topmost tiers of the shelves, head cocked back and to the side at an angle. His gaze was something between what anyone might call upset and contemplative, and the fists on his hips did little to dispel that mien. Soft footfalls along marble flooring announced Vahalia’s arrival as she brushed off her hands along one another as she entered the space, the lingering scent of rosemary and sage following in her path, "As tall as you are, there is a ladder should you need to reach the top shelf." she offered playfully, walking up alongside of him to crane her neck and spot what he had been looking at -- exactly what book he might have been pondering over.
She was met with a sharp 'sncht,' tongue pressing against the top of his mouth when Hakan heard her. "What's the point of this many books," he asked instead of countering. "S'far more than any of us could read in our own time, half of which have nothing to do with what interests us-- We'd need to hire a librarian just to organize it all."
Vahalia simply loosed a firm 'tch' as she cast a sharp side glance up at him, "Books are priceless little pieces of information, history, thoughts, dreams, tales and so much more than just clutter. There are plenty, but I like them." she smiled faintly and her attention drifted away, settling with a singular word spoken which felt....nice. 
‘We’.
A hum eventually came and Vahalia nodded as she continued, "I'll hire someone to arrive a few times a year to sort the books then. Especially...since much of the ones I have to add now belonged to Valeria."
He couldn’t help but roll his eyes, a barely there scoff escaping. "The ones you keep locked and hidden are priceless. These are just expensive. Philosophers, scientists --" Hakan shook his head. He was not one to be overwhelmed, but the sheer breadth of topics collected was still ridiculous to him. How many were 'priceless' because the information was so dated, debunked, no one would bother. "If this is your collection and hers, you'll end up needing another room for whatever else the family collects."
A knowing little glance was shot in Hakan’s direction as Vahalia took a few steps towards the pile of books that had yet to be sorted, "An update to the library would be nice but I figured it might as well wait until I can have everything delivered to its final destination. Some of these were my mother's and a lot of them have useful information -- herbs, alchemy and more. Perhaps you should read more, you might come across something that suits your palette."
His gaze pulled from the upper shelves and looked to his company, squinting. "Everything," he repeated, meaning this wasn't even all of it. He'd known her library was expansive, it had to be given her family and status, but he'd never explored more than a handful of areas within the old estate. The study of her father, the kitchens, her bedrooms, and so on. Now in this new space she'd created for them, her, him, the children, he was faced with seeing it all in a new place. But, mostly it was something to focus on, distract himself with. "I read enough."
An elegant shrug came from Vahalia and she fussed with the face of the book closest to her atop the pile she stood by, "Fair enough. It's a good thing you're here. I have a few updates for you." she turned to face him properly as she continued, "I've taken your suggestion to seeing to Valeria's assassin. I have someone handling it as we speak, furthermore I've dropped by the Whitlock estate in La Noscea. My absence has been on account of being there for a handful of days. To my surprise...all seems to be well in hand. For now."
‘For now’. Creature glowered, his trademark chitter raking at her thoughts.
Hakan's brow climbed high and arched while he canted his head in the opposite direction, chin jutting out so he was staring down at her more than he normally did. "Well in hand," he repeated, as if she hadn't said something almost incredulous. "First you don't know where they live, then you're just...dropping in. Unannounced."
The Lady Cress waved her hand lightly to brush off his reply, "I know people. It's easy enough to come by when poking around. You weren't the only one busy in Kugane, Hakan. You suggested I handle it and I am, in a careful way. Seems the eldest son has a soft heart, the second son is a bit of a whoring drunk and the third....well..I've heard stories but have yet to lay eyes on him. Kalem Whitlock has been easy to twist to bring me under his wing. Calls me a 'friend'. So much so he's suggested a proposal of union for our Houses, a first step towards a 'truce' and peace as it's been called. I told him I would take time to consider it."
There was a maintained expression along Hakan’s face, a mix of something unimpressed, dubious, and yet borderline incredulous given the absolute understatement that was 'well enough.' His gaze soon enough transformed into something flat as he stared at Vahalia, head straightening and arms crossing over his chest. Yet despite the attempt to school his features into something unreadable, every word she spoke made his lip curl more and more. "These...This, is the quality of the house that killed Valeria? A fool, a drunken fool, and...an unknown."
"I know not how far the roots go but I imagine worse people murder people for less. I'm not trying to weigh the worth of them against the crime they've committed, I'm intent on seeing them all bleed for what they've done to her. They can die a fool, a drunk and an unknown." she replied.
Hakan’s disgust was evident, though he was quick to leash it, rein it in. It was Vahalia's vengeance, and however much the thought of such damage being caused by the incompetent was infuriating, it was not he who'd suffered. "You've known them all of a week, at best," he said, considering, " – there may be more that's yet unseen. That you go to them, disadvantaged, and they propose a union...Might be they see the same opportunity you do. And if you feign acceptance, they might demand more than just the promise at a future date. Something to show you're serious, sincere..."
She chuckled, "Such as? I don't believe I have any intentions on letting it reach that point. Kalem is someone I've earned some trust with and I intend to keep it that way for the time being; else I risk losing what advantage I have. He was easily charmed though I suspect Abel and their brother Volricc might not. I've come to find out that it wasn't Kalem's doing that ended up in Valeria's death but Volricc's and they'll all suffer the same, regardless." Stepping in, her hand stalked the center of Hakan’s vest, ilming higher as she spoke, "You're cross with me?"
There was a click of his tongue. "No," he answered almost immediately after the question left her lips. "But I am simply dubious. Saying you can read a person after a few days, have them wrapped around your finger, is a bold claim. And if Kalem truly wasn't responsible, if it was the younger, then he could have little or no power in the family for all he's the eldest." His brow knit, the touch on his chest practically ignored as his mind whirred in thought. You killed their sister, they killed yours...your Cyrus black was willing to be tortured to sell the lie that would get him close to your enemies, and there was no history to make him more suspicious than anyone else. So, I ask, what and how far are you willing to go?"
"I never claimed to have been able to completely read him, no. I've earned some trust from him but I can only build on that by my presence. He seems gentle and harmless enough though Volricc certainly will be an issue as from what I've garnered, he takes action and asks questions later. A very brutal and vicious sort with a mind for bloodshed. What better way to seek information and poke around than to be right in the thick of it all? I'm fully aware I'm being watched and weighed silently, I'd be foolish not to expect it. But as far as I'm willing to go will be as necessary as needed. I have a chance to gather them at an altar, make a show and spectacle of the suggested Union. They know nothing of you and only of my ex-husband and know very little of my children which is a boon."
Hakan held back his retort to the rhetorical, even if it strained him to the point of his lip curling. He quite disliked rhetorical questions. "They may not want to wait so long, may want something tangible beforehand to show you're truly willing to bind yourself to them. I would, were I in their position."
Vahalia 's hand paused and her palm lifted, finger coming to a point along Hakan’s chest, "And this is why you are my Advisor, so Advise me. What would the Masterful Belgrave want from a woman such as myself if he were in their position? Do keep in mind, you're the only person I've shared my plans with to any degree."
His lip curled again, gaze dropping to Vahalia’s wrist, as he considered. "The easiest answer that comes to mind is to turn the brothers against one another. Anyone might think the weakest link is the drunk, Abel, but if he's just what he is on the surface, a drunk, that makes him just as weak a tool. Volricc is already the type to move against his brother, he might do it again. Seduction, magic, poison, whichever would work best to get the job done. That is, if you want them in pain before you kill them. Trying to get Kalem to kill his brothers, when he seems so willing to let the scales remain balanced, would be more difficult by far."
A hum filled the brief silence, "Two of which I've used thus far thought not above using again. But I know Abel's weakness and I just might be able to twist him up a bit. " fingers tapped and danced down along the embroidered bits of Hakan's attire, "Allow me some time and I'll keep you updated."
 "However you go about it, you must have no restrictions. In the heart of it as you are, anything less than that..." He pursed his lips. You're in Limsa. However much the Admiral wants it to be a place of laws and civilization, people still go missing all the time."
The hand at Hakan’s attire withdrew and went to cross along her bust once more, "Well, since you're keen on me using whatever tactics necessary then I'll show no restraint -- I'll think of something, that much I am certain. As much as I have been patient, I am keenly aware of how long I have before my condition becomes a problem. Too much of one to hide when it comes to Kalem's proposal."

top 10 strongest nonbenders
ykw. im already here so why not?!?!?!
btw the biggest rule here is who the STRONGEST are. not who my favs are. ok?
so here we go
honorable mentions: ok i dont like putting groups of people which is why the equalists and the kiyoshi warriors arent on here. but they should be!
10. sokka- sokka’s strength was his mind. i love him to death but i think some people really overestimate his physical strength. he was definitely EFFICIENT when it came to fighting but i wouldn’t go any further than that. i feel like since people love sokka (as they should!) they conflate that with his combat ability and tbh i feel like that does his character a disservice. he is the mind of the group he doesn’t need to also be a fighter!
9. long shot- ill be super honest im kind of a freedom fighters hater??? ok not a HATER but i just do not really care when they have screen time. basically what im getting at is i dont remember much of him LOLLLL but like my heart is telling me he was useful and a good fighter. obv his specialty was his archery. but then again he doesn’t do anything to stand out in my mind to make him higher. and i dont remember him really doing anything that’s hand to hand combat.
8. june- so we just dont see much of her but shes got that big sniffer to do like 80% of her fighting for her. i think she doesn’t do much otherwise??? but shes a bounty hunter so shes gotta have some oomph to her.
7. hakoda- ok another person that we dont see MUCH of but we know hes the chief of the southern water tribe and is leading them in the war. and when we do see him fight he slays! we just don’t see it much.
6. asami- literally the 3 fight scenes she has she ROCKS!!!!! but like. why does she…. only have…….. 3 fight scenes…? its so weird. i feel like she is useless when it comes to fight scenes more often than not but idk WHY bc she is a RLY GOOD FIGHTER! her fight scenes genuinely shock me every time bc i forget how good she is. but they hardly show it imo. weird.
5. jet- i was rly close to putting jet at 4 and putting #4 here but HONESTLY the only big feat he has is being able to hold his own against zuko in their 1v1. other than that……doesnt he….. get his ass kicked by everyone else? jet is super resourceful, adaptive, smart, and has great combat skill. he was the leader of the freedom fighters for a reason! i just literally cannot think of a time where he won a fight. am i crazy? idk moving on
4. mai- yeah this diva can throw them mf knives!!!!!! if this show wasnt for kids she wouldve been actually killing bitches but she still gets to use her knives in a cool way! she can go toe to toe with any non bender and tbh a lot of benders too. the fact that AZULA recruits her means she knowssss she can handle herself. she just isnt as impressive as the ppl above her.
3. piandou- a lot of ppl put him at 1 and 2 but i cant do that. he is pretty much THEE master non bender and he is clearly the most skilled swordsman we see in the show. but we dont see him in his prime, and again, im just more impressed by 1 and 2. if we saw more of him maybe i could make a case for him to be higher but the shit that i see numbers 1 and 2 do make him look soft sorry!
2. suki- ugh. love her bad. she is THEEEEE KIYOSHI WARRIOR!!!!!!!!! like. what else do u need me to say. remember that part of boiling rock. when she takes the warden hostage in literal seconds? yeah exactly.
1. ty lee- so. remember when i said i love suki bad? i love ty lee BADDDDDDDDD! she is by far seen as the biggest threat out of any nonbender bc of her chiblocking and rightfully so. like taking away bending. and at her time, no one else (that we know of) could do it. genuinely is such a cool feat and she is the ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO IT!! like do i need to say it again?!?!?! benders were scared to fight her AS THEY SHPULD BE! she wasnt just a threat to benders either bc her chiblocking could temporarily paralyze anyone, bender or not. is that not enough? oh ok she is also the most agile nonbender that we see snd its not even close. she literally moves exactly like an airbender without doing any airbending. she is doing flips and tricks and cartwheels and is being cunty while taking ur bending. and she becomes a kiyoshi warrior. ty lee supremacy forever.
