I know I’ve made other posts talking about or alluding to this but like. obviously there are like the old hollywood movies in the sort of dyke subtext canon (all about eve, rebecca, johnny guitar, etc) but like. there are so many movies that like 10 people have seen but I have such a clear gay vision or interpretation for it. most of them aren’t even GOOD. and yet!!
like the great lie is the one that haunts me the most (or the women but I think that one is kind of different for me perhaps bc I’ve already talked about it here a lot or perhaps bc I think of it as being more well known and watched than I think it actually is? actually it’s probably that I think it is an overall good and well executed and entertaining movie which isn’t really true of most of these tbh). but I also think a lot about like when ladies meet, or old acquaintance, or sadie mckee, or the shining hour, or the model and the marriage broker, or a woman’s secret, or the bigamist, or craig’s wife, or born to be bad, or separate tables, or even dark victory to a degree. others too certainly those are just the ones that come to mind. for half of these it’s not even like oh these women are gay together it’s just like hey I think she’s a lesbian. and I’m right. but my genius will never be fully appreciated in my day unfortunately.
#a woman’s secret has kind of been haunting me since I watched it like a week or so ago in that it’s literally got so many interesting#pieces and facets and I find so much of it very interesting but they just like really don’t dig in or come together so it’s enough that#I think about it and not remotely satisfying which I’m beginning to think is just how I feel about nicholas ray’s stuff. I don’t really#have a large sample but like born to be bad is not a movie that I think is good but it has like infected me somehow. which i did and still#do largely attribute to joantaine. but like idk. and also I wanted to like Johnny guitar and obviously there’s a lot of interesting stuff#in there to dissect it just… feels unsatisfying/like it doesn’t come together. idk what it is.#also like it is fully sampling bias that across the three I listed as noted subtext and then all the others I listed#there’s uh. 4 joan crawford movies 4 bette davis movies 3 joan fontaine movies#but it’s still really funny to me lmao… I will say how did I not list ANY babs movies… that can’t be right… I mean like night nurse#and ladies they talk about def have some gay moments and like. walk on the wild side exists lmao#but I wouldn’t really consider any of those to be consistent with the thing I’m trying to describe here lol#anyways. I think that’s enough rambling for now.#old hollywood#my post#also I would happily expand on my vision for any of these lmao. it’s just that I think it generally requires a certain familiarity with the#movie itself and. a lot of these I wouldn’t necessarily recommend? not that they’re all bad just like. not incredible idk#which kind of hinders this a bit. and now like I could give background provide clips etc but then that’s requiring a level of effort#that I’m not gonna spontaneously exert while sitting in bed Thinking. which is what this post is lmao. (‘that’s enough rambling for now’#I said several tags ago… a fact which I could easily change but shan’t.)#(edit of prior tags to say that I wrote the tags before mentioning the women in this post bc idk for a moment I lived in a world in which#everyone knew the women was about dykes. so anyways it’s now 5 joan movies 4 joantaine movies#which is neat. the sampling bias is also fun bc like yes 5 joan movies is a lot to mention but I’ve seen like 30 joan movies so.#of course there are other movies of hers where I would be calling her gay but like im less invested. joantaine is a lot funnier to me bc#I’ve only actually seen 7 joantaine movies. and like ok including the bigamist is admittedly wild given that my queer interpretation of it#is like. her and ida lupino who do not so much as meet in the film. but the extent to which I wish they did fuels me)

damn i might be getting a root canal on friday the 13th if they can't save my crater of a cavity by trying to fill it the regular way
#if i was on mobile i would be putting in so many skull heads rn#like damn but yea i went to the dentist today after not going in a few years since i got busy with work and school and covid#so it pushed dental to the back burner and im also finally gonna get my wisdom teeth removed after my birthday so yahoo for me!!!!!#my mom said i should do it before but i had a tiny bf about it since im going out with my friends and i want to have spicy food on my bday#and spicy food is on the no no list for wisdom teeth removal from what i rememer. its all soft and not spicy and possibly bland#so im lik hey i dont want to be miserable with pain for both halloween and my birthday since that is the highlight of my year#and id rather be miserable closer to christmas cuz its not a fave holiday and i dont like the winter much either#so i seem to be a bit masochistic and want to be extra miserable during the winter lmao#but this dentist even asked me if i wanted braces to make my teeth a little straighter to close the gap and all i could think was damn#my old dentist was never that thorough with the exam and just did cavities and wisdom teeth and thats about it#my mom was adament i get braces cuz she said i had hella crooked teeth but i think mine look fine and kinda cute and gives it some characte#but i will say that ive never gone to a dentist where the tv was bolted to the ceiling cuz i could hear a tv playing in my room and thought#that they covered the tv with a painting for aesthetic until i laid back and there is some real estate show on above me#but its so smart tho cuz most people or at least people with good vision will focus on the tv and move their head#but if its on the ceiling then you are just looking up and not getting in the way of the denist#especially since a little kid under 8 was there and was sitting so still in his chair cuz the tv was above him lmao

Just saved my mother from getting scammed out of 600€ how tf does this keep happening!!!!
#she fell for mlm marketing AGAIN#luckily she doesn't know how to pay for things online so she told me about it#like she literally walked into my room like 'I want to try these products recommended by a friend of a friend :)'#me '..have u checked any reviews? what about the brand? is it well known? what are the nutritional values like?'#her 'well no but she said she also uses them n they work great! n they give her extra energy + lowered her blood sugar n cholesterol [etc]'#me '......how much it it?' her '150€ but she said it's a sale package so I'm actually saving money!'#me 'LMAO no. we're gonna background check the brand and products first. I want to see the ingredients list n nutritional values + reviews.'#anyway most reviewers said they were tricked into paying 120€ monthly n they got horribly sick after using said products#also the brand was fined 1 million euros for false advertisement via mlm scheme bs#the reviews were either 1* and furious or 5* and obvious ads (like I ended up reading them aloud like a tv ad instinctively)#also the 150€ order my mother was setting up? at the bottom of the page in fine print it said it was 4×150€...#like spending 150€ for random supplements is INSANE. but 600€???????#oh n guess what? when I looked up the ingredients it turned out that they can interfere w all of my mother's meds#after all that my mother rushed to tell the scammer that she spoke too soon n that given her many health issues–#–she's got to think about it some more before buying anything#I've been protecting her from scams since I was 11 when she almost got scammed by my dad (again)#when will she start getting sus vibes from ppl using the same exact tactics over n over again...#not victim blaming her#I just don't understand..#dy talks

ᡣ𐭩 •。ꪆৎ ˚⋅
Okay a while ago I made this post talking abt how I haven't shifted yet bc I'm lazy, and while the sentiment holds true, I made some advancements is my beliefs. I've come to the realisation that I wasn't lazy, I just lacked some things 😭😭. Since many of you guys seemed to relate to my struggle, I'll go over what I found to be lacking and how I am fixing it:
1. Persistence - I just wasn't persisting in the fact that I am a master shifter. Some days I believed, only to give up a few hours later. I let the 3d tell me stuff that was literally not true. Like okay not you tryna be relevant gtfo 💀💀
2. Direction - I had no clear goal in mind. Like ofc I wanted to shift, but I was switching up on myself every half hour. First, I want to shift by xyz date, but then I change my mind and say that I'll shift tonight. So by the time night actually came around, I would just say one aff then give up on myself.
3. Mindset - talking abt giving up on myself, my mindset is all over the place rn. I don't hate myself (far from it), but I do not believe in myself. It's even crazier cus I KNOW I can shift, and I HAVE SHIFTED multiple times to realities like this one 😭😭. Ik that it has to be real, but I am limiting myself by believing that I personally can't shift (or don't deserve to). I know that it is possible to shift with doubts, but if you don't believe in yourself, where will that get you.
4. Methods - there are a plethora of methods that I can choose from to aid my shifting, but I just don't resonate with the traditional methods of shifting. I know that you don't need a method to shift, but I wish someone told me sooner how little methods actually matter. Lemme be honest, I've never been a Type A planner person. Steps and instructions aren't my strong suite. I prefer to be 'lazy' and just go with the flow.
So now that I listed my problems, here are my solutions !!
For persistence, I'm just gonna shut my ass up and do it 💀💀. Like ik 4d is the only reality that matters, so imma continue to hold true in that assumption.
As for direction, imma focus on one dr for now. I'll also gaslight myself so badly yall just wait 😭🙏
Mindset is gonna be the most exposing one lmao. Imma do some shadow work to find the root cause of the problem and deal with it from the source.
For methods, imma use the law of assumption to my benefit. I alr apply it to everything else, so why not shifting ? I'll also add on lucid dreams cus they're fun 💀💀
Overall, this really made me think harder about why I am so 'lazy' when it comes to shifting and inspired me to do something about it. I hope you do the same :)

A/N: this is just something random both to help me feel better and to write something since I haven’t wrote in weeks lmao- reader is gender neutral!
Chuuya loves to spoil you.
You’ve never been the one to ask for anything, and he wonders if it feeds into why he’s so ready to give you everything you want.
It could be something as small as a new book you’ve been wanting to read, or an outfit that caught your eye when you were both out on a date- you barely bat your eyes and Chuuya is already pulling you into the store, taking out his wallet.
Fancy dates at restaurants you would never dream of dining at, lavish clothes that had way too many zeros on the price tag, even flying out of Yokohama for the first time- the list goes on and on.
Chuuya senses your hesitation whenever he tries to give you gifts, and he can read you well to see why. You stress to him that he doesn’t have to do all of this, that you don’t want him to think that you’re relationship hinges on being materialistic, but he already knows. He’s not doing this because he has to, he’s doing it because he wants to. You deserve the best, and he makes it his mission to give you that.
You scold him every time he spoils you by surprise (which it’s starting to happen so much it really shouldn’t be surprising anymore), and all he does is laugh and press his lips against yours. He knows that you can get it yourself, but why when he can just get it for you now? He doesn’t have this black card for nothing, and he rather spend it all on you anyway (even if it’s on the small stuff you can get yourself).
And Chuuya knows that you appreciate it every time too.
He’ll do everything in his power to give you the world and more.

Lucifer Having A Crush On You/How Would He React?
I'm not biased, I'm not biased, I'm not biased, I'm not biased, I'M NOT--
It's time for my fictional love and life and all I hold dear in my daydreams. Bitches, bros, nonbinary hoes, and genderfluid fucks, I present to you the Big Dick in Charge
I may reference works that I've read and when I do I'll drop their @ and link to their story it is law that you read it if you read mine, I don't make the rules
CW: none, slightly angsty but nothing too intense!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alright, doves, this is post-season one. Lucifer now resides in the hotel with everyone and is slowly adjusting to being graced with Alejandro's Alastor's presence every day.
Let's be honest, our baby pays attention but puts in minimal effort. Saying that the days went by in a blur would be an understatement. Even conversations would be forgotten after a few short moments. On to the next task. Full focus on this thing. Once that's done? Well onto the next task! No tasks? Free time to spend with Charlie!
Things would start slow, and to really interact, you'd most likely start to approach him first. Maybe you've spent long enough watching the blond anxiously bounce around the hotel and graciously give himself a bit too much for even the Big Boss of Hell.
A timid approach from you, offering to help with whatever he's currently doing. Maybe you make snacks for everyone in the hotel and hand him his personally :)
And so it begins! A greeting here, a greeting there, slightly awkward conversations that slowly start to feel less forced with the little information you learn about each other along the way.
It's...nice! Refreshing! Lucifer would be more excited than anything and talking to you would become a part of his regular routine without much thought on the matter. You'd occasionally be on his mind just a little more, and he'd start to seek you out himself too.
I know you're already seeking him out. Bitch I'M seeking him out.
Helping with chores around the hotel quickly turns into simply enjoying the other's company.
One day you gift him his very own ceramic duck! You could have paid for it from somewhere or made it yourself.
Either way, he'd fucking LOVE it! Honestly, if you decide to try your hand at making it, he'd love it even more with all the rough edges and little bumps (it was made out of love for my babies who never touched clay in their lives)
In response, please expect many gifts in return. I like to think it's been a while since he's gotten a genuine gift like this
(Bonus headcanon: Charlie will see this and will come to you the next day with a list of things she wants to gift him and you two are unofficially officially the Buy Lucifer Anything Duck-Themed duo)
Lucifer loves how you react when he gifts you your very own rubber duck. Your smile and happiness always seemed contagious to him. It only led to him making/getting you more things.
You will have a rubber duck collection by the end of this, but what can you really say? Each one of them is based on something you mentioned before. A movie character, a book character, a cartoon character, even friends or family members if they were mentioned. The gesture is way too sweet for you to turn down, even if it is the 30th duck you've received.
Now prepare for what I like to call the "get along t-shirt" phase but both parties are willing LMAO.
Lucifer will be by your side as long as you'll accept the company and if you're reading this and we brain the same, that will be all the time.
I love the GenZ!Reader memes and fics. Someone show this man bacon pancakes and if it was already done, SHOW ME.
Between his relationship with Charlie and with you, Lucifer actually feels the need and wants to be a little more present bit by bit. He notices that he is spending less time in his head, but he continues on in fear of fucking it up if he thinks too hard about it.
So instead he'll 100% focus on the little familiarity of happiness, as small as those moments may be sometimes. This is EXACTLY why the thought of him potentially feeling romantic interest again goes right over his head.
Who notices first, you ask? Charlie, of course. You slowly but surely became one of his main topics in conversation, it wasn't hard for her to pick up on it and ask.
Baby boy would straight up deny it at first. Him?? Liking someone else??? LMAO, am I right? Of course, after he does this, he'll have the time to actually pay attention to his actions.
So then he'll notice how excited he is every morning knowing that you'll be the first face he sees. He'll notice how he managed to fit you into any task he had to do. When he'd get lunch for himself and Charlie he'd have the automatic thought of making something for you as well. Even when the day was over, he'd be thinking about spending the next day with you. To be frank, you were constantly on his mind. 
Once he notices it's a big mental "fuck". Nothing about you is wrong of course, it's him, or so he thinks.
Let's start with the elephant in the room, or shall I say the ring on his finger lmao
In Lucifer's mind, he's still married technically. Even thinking about it in a technical term was a new development and it made him feel absolutely horrible. Lilith left, sure, but who knows what happened? Regardless of how he felt, he didn't want to hurt her.
But at the same time what about him? Lucifer hasn't been happy in a long time and he's finally building that again, not just with Charlie, but with you as well. He didn't want to just cut you out, he didn't want to hurt you either.
Plus, did you even like him? How would he even approach you? If he wanted to, even after thinking about everything.
Who was he kidding, of course, he still wanted you!
@liveontelevision *drops to my knees and bows* they worded it extremely well here and if you're reading this but you haven't read this already or you clicked the link then clicked back here, go back and read it. I don't care how long it is. Do the thing then come back.
Welcome back. It was good, wasn't it? I know.
The only awkward period for you two is the week-long contemplation of everything (half him attempting not to do what he always does when stressed but by the time he realizes he already made like 30 ducks--)
He would clearly go out of his way to either try and talk to you or avoid you. Or a cute mixture of both where he makes a scene approaching you, realizes he's not ready yet, then makes a scene so he can disappear *finger guns*
A little crisis here, a few little rubber ducks there, and a looooonnnggg conversation with Charlie and Maggie Vaggie.
Those are the ingredients to a semi-stable Lucifer with enough bravado to talk to you normally again.
He'd apologize for the times he basically pulled a Houdini in your face and he'd explain himself fully, all while also confessing his love for you.
It's choppy, it's fast-paced in some areas, and the poor blond was ready to disappear at any given moment, but that's what made it so real for you.
The weight that's lifted off of him couldn't be described, and neither could the joy that welled in him the moment he saw your beautiful smile and heard nothing but your acceptance and love.
What an emotional roller-coaster, am I right?

Bleach Men Taking Your Baby to the Grocery Store Headcanons
author's note: yes the premise is random but it's also very cute and perfectly in line with my recent onslaught of baby fever. also, the banners in this post were created by the always amazing @actuallysaiyan!! thank you for the gorgeous banners, babe! 🩷🩷🩷
pairings: kensei muguruma x reader, byakuya kuchiki x reader, grimmjow jaegerjaquez x reader, renji abarai x reader, ichigo kurosaki x reader
warnings: children ages 5 and younger and grimmjow's parenting lmao this is mostly fluff and some mischief mixed in from the babies
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Kensei is definitely the tough parent of the two of you, and he relishes in that fact
But goddammit do those baby eyes make him waver
As he carries little Mila into the store, he tells her they're only there for necessities
No candy, no sugary cereals, only what you've tasked him to buy for dinner
Despite being only three and a half, however, Mila has a pretty good idea of how to get her way with Kensei
It's gotten slightly less effective since the pacifiers have been removed from her arsenal, but anything that cracks her dad's tough exterior is remarkable as is
It starts off innocently enough, though soon the way she sings her little song and bops her head around becomes rife with intent
"Daddy, can has hug?" She blinks up at him, holding her arms up
Either he's willfully choosing to fall into the trap, or Kensei is merely blind in the face of his precious girl
"Of course, baby." Kensei picks her up from the cart and kisses her wonderfully chubby cheek, leading the cart behind him as he continues through the store with Mila hooked on his hip
Mila curls up, humming as her eyes scan the shelves for something she wants
"Hold Momma's list for Daddy, okay?"
Mila's little fingers hold the list carefully, and soon Kensei is at a crossroad
"Broth. What kind of broth?" He mutters, fishing his cell phone from his pocket to call you
As usual, it turns into a bit of a squabbling match. He thinks remembering every little detail is silly, and you think you've made this dish so many times he should know you need chicken broth
Kensei is sufficiently annoyed by the time the phone call ends, and Mila strikes then
"Daddy, can has kiss?"
"Yes, baby." She gets a kiss on either cheek, and the kiss she gives his cheek right back is just about the final nail in the coffin
With Kensei holding her, she's able to reach the shelf and snag a little box of animal crackers
"Daddy, can has this?"
Played by the fucking toddler again!! That's three times this week!
"... Don't tell your brothers." Kensei sighs, hanging his head in shame
It's not all bad though; he does get another sweet kiss from his princess
Tumblr media
Byakuya is a strict but ultimately fair father
Little Jasmine has grown up under his watchful eye, though through that she's certainly learned just how many of his limits she can press and how to get around them
Going to the grocery store is rare, and even more so if you're not present for the journey
But it's vacation time, and you're busy setting up the cabin for your family's stay, so Byakuya has been tasked with gathering enough groceries to make it through dinner and the morning's breakfast
Byakuya holds Jasmine’s hand and they walk inside together, Byakuya using a tissue to pick up one of the small hand baskets. There's no telling the last time this thing has been sanitized!
“What would you like for dinner tonight?” Byakuya asks the five year old, and Jasmine hums thoughtfully
How can she end the first day of this vacation with a delicious banana split?
Appealing to her father's tastes will increase the likelihood of success, and her father is quite fond of spicy foods…
“Can we have curry?”
The light in his eyes isn't missed by the girl, and she can practically taste an ice cream sundae with a waffle bowl already
“You're becoming more accustomed to spices, I see.” Byakuya hums and begins to survey the store's offerings, whereas Jasmine is mentally preparing her list for dessert
“Daddy?” Jasmine dials up the sweetness in her tone while Byakuya examines the various cuts of chicken on display
“Yes?” He hums
“Can we have a treat tonight?”
“What sort of treat?”
“A surprise treat. Please, Daddy?”
Byakuya pauses. He's no fan of sweets, and in general sugar is limited in the Kuchiki household
But she did say please
“Mm… I suppose.”
Byakuya doesn't meet your eyes when he and Jasmine return from the store with more ingredients for ice cream sundaes than dinner and breakfast combined
He is such a sucker, but he's happy to be played when he receives his banana split with a chocolate syrup drawing of his beloved Wakame Taishi from his darling daughter
Tumblr media
Renji tries his best to be a strict father, but his determination wavers frequently. He wanted for many things as a child, and as a parent he doesn't wish to push that same feeling on his child as long as he's capable of providing a warm, loving home
Not to mention, that damn two year is old is just so cute it makes his heart melt at the mere sight of the toddler
“C’mon, honey, gotta get some soup for Mommy.” Renji murmurs as he carefully takes little Rin from his car seat, carrying him into the store on his hip
“Why?” is Rin’s favorite question right now, and Renji’s eye twitches a bit
“Because her tummy is upset.”
“Why?”
“... I don't know.”
“Why?”
“I don't know!”
“Why?”
Renji gently pinches his son's lips between his fingers. “Shhh… Quiet time.”
But of course, the moment he lets go, Rin is back at it again
“Why?”
“Because now Daddy has a headache.”
Rin, as gently as he can while simultaneously not managing much grace in the act, pats his father's sunglasses that sit atop his head
“All bedder?”
Renji's lip practically wobbles at the sweetness. “Yes, Daddy's all better. Thank you, sweetie.”
Rin rests his head against his father, playing with the Renji’s chain while he surveys all of the varieties of soup, Renji occasionally pulling the chain away from the baby's open mouth
Rin whines after his third attempt to eat the necklace, so Renji quickly grabs the first can of chicken noodle soup he sees and makes a dash for the checkout. No baby meltdowns in public, for the love of God
Renji gently bounces the baby, pleading softly with him to calm down. It's not working very well, however, and these damn checkout lines aren't moving at all!
Desperation wins and Renji's grabbing a lollipop before he knows it, tearing the wrapping off and popping the sucker into Rin’s teeny mouth
His plan to calm the baby works, and by the time he's actually able to check out and purchase the soup, the small pop is already gone and the tantrum is starting to blossom again
And just as Renji gets the baby strapped back into his carseat, he checks his phone to see a text you sent twenty minutes ago that practically sends his eyes popping out of his skull
Can you pick up a pregnancy test too?
He glances over at the toddler, and can practically see the boy as a big brother already
Even with a fussy baby in round two of the long lines, Renji's smile doesn't waver and he just kisses and coos at the hopefully soon-to-be big brother

Grimmjow is an interesting parent. Much like how every day with a four year old is a mystery, every day with Grimmjow is a deep dive into the unknown
So when sending the man and his mini-me to the grocery store, you're not quite sure what they're going to come home with. Hopefully it at least includes the items on the list, otherwise dinner is going to be very different from what you've planned
“Oi, keep up!” Grimm looks over his shoulder, the four year old having been distracted by a vending machine
“Want snack.”
“Too bad. Let's go.”
The toddler’s stare is a little too lead paint-y for Grimmjow's liking
“Zen.” Grimmjow looks on, unimpressed as he fishes a coin from his pocket. “Fine, brat. You win, you get a snack. I win, I get a snack.”
That gets the boy to smile, clapping his hands as he jumps in excitement
Grimmjow smirks. “Heads I win, tails you lose.”
The coin is flipped off of Grimmjow's thumb and he catches it easily, Zen waiting with bated breath for the results. Does Daddy win or does he lose??
Grimm sucks his teeth, shaking his head and tucking the quarter back into his pocket. “Heads I win. Tough luck, kid. Maybe next time.”
Zen pouts, watching his father slip a dollar into the vending machine and press the buttons for a honey bun. “Aw man…”
“C’mon.” Grimmjow opens up the snack, taking a big bite and grabbing the front of Zen’s coat, carrying him inside of the store like a handbag
The boy can't help but giggle as he looks up at his father; he loves air jail!
“You're in jail. Stop laughing, fuckin’ psycho.” Grimm shakes his son a bit, hiding his own laughter into the next bite of his honey bun. He's a hardass, but that baby's laugh is precious and melts him like ice cream on a sunny day
Heads turn at the way Grimmjow carries Zen, but Grimm is highly unbothered by such judgment. His kid is happy and healthy, and anyone that thinks otherwise can kiss his ass, for all he cares
“You got the list?” Grimm looks down at Zen, the boy fishing out the neatly-folded post-it note you lovingly tucked into his jacket pocket
Grimmjow perks a brow as he reads off the ingredients you've listed. “Say, kid—” he looks down at his son. “Whaddya say we ditch the list and get some pizza instead?”
Zen claps happily at the idea and Grimm grins menacingly, crushing up the grocery list and tossing it on the floor as he hoists his boy over his shoulder, stuffing the last bite of the honey bun in his baby's mouth whilst flipping off a scandalized woman at the checkouts

Growing up with two younger sisters was good for something after all, Ichigo thinks as he wrangles his twin girls through the parking lot with relative ease
The three year olds are stubborn and independent, having insisted they walk instead of having daddy carry them! But they still want to hold his hands, of course
why no he is not melting like a lava cake, why do you ask?
The girls gasp at the sight of a shopping cart with a racecar on the end that's the perfect size for two little ones!
“We don't even need a cart.” Ichigo deadpans, though it's in one ear and out the other as the babies pile into the little racecar, turning the steering wheels and beeping the (thankfully noiseless) horns
He feels like an idiot but as the dutiful father he is, Ichigo complies with his girls’ wishes and pushes the cart into the store
Chubby fingers point as little voices call out for candies and trinkets, and Ichigo's quick with each of his responses
“No.”
“I said no.”
“No ma'am!”
He's definitely cleaning their ears out when they get home, because clearly they can't hear him! Why else would they ask for things a million times over, hm?
“Daddy always say no.” Indigo pouts, her sister nodding in agreement. All they want is some candy!! Why is Daddy so mean?
Ichigo sighs in frustration as the aisle he needs to go down is absolutely packed, and he's stuck with this behemoth of a shopping cart. Settling it at the end of the aisle, he kneels down to make eye contact with the girls
“Stay put; I’ll be right back.”
Ichigo quickly rushes down the aisle, weaving between people to get to the pasta section
Now… If only he could remember what shape of pasta you told him to buy
Indigo and Imani look at each other, covering their mouths to hide their mischievous giggles
Those Push Pops they were eyeing are still nearby, and Daddy isn't!
As the tag team they are, Indigo and Imani spring into action, Indigo rushing to get the candy while Imani (who turns up the cuteness to a ten!) rushes down the aisle to her father
Ichigo frowns and picks up Imani, scolding her for leaving the cart
It isn't exactly effective, however, as the baby eyes and the cooing let her off the hook easily
When they get back to the cart after Ichigo remembers which pasta you've requested, he sets Imani back into the racecar
Indigo slips a blue Push Pop into her twin's hand, the two of them sharing a conspiratorial smile
They almost get away with it too, though when Ichigo's strapping them into their car seats he notices the lollipops
“Stop stealing!!!!”
These girls will surely be the reason he takes medication for his blood pressure, and he dreads the day when they become teenagers!

P.S., thank you to @joeys-babe and some of my anons for giving me a couple ideas for what Joe and Y/n could do in Paris. i appreciate more than you all know🥰🥰 anyways i hope you all enjoy 😚
*if some parts look familiar, remember i posted a sneak peek a few days ago*
accidentally series master list
——
*2 months later*
June 2024
——
“…and then Mommy and I went ice skating. It was so much fun, even though I had to hold your mommy up the whole time. You would’ve enjoyed it, pumpkin,” Joe smiled. “Maybe the three of us can go once you’re older.”
You smiled down at your boyfriend talking to your swollen bump as you ran your fingers through his golden curls.
“Let’s not forget when you fell on your ass, Joe,” you teased. Even though you thought Joe would give you a deadpan look, he simply just smiled, laying his head in your lap and felt around your belly with his hand.
It has been almost three months since you and Joe confessed your love to each other, and each second of it has been filled with nothing but pure, and unconditional love.
You two have since moved into a beautiful home together; one where you hope to make many memories with your growing family. Speaking of which, you were now 20 weeks pregnant, which is halfway to your due date.
“I can’t believe we’re halfway to meeting our baby,” you whispered.
“I know,” Joe smiled and kissed your bump. “I already can’t wait to get you pregnant again and fill all these rooms with little Joes and little Y/ns.”
Flashback to when you two moved in
“Andddddddd, that should do it,” Joe smiled, getting down from the ladder after hanging the last picture frame on the wall.
“Can you stay on level ground now? You’re making me nervous,” you asked
“Yes, baby, but I promise I’m fine,” Joe soothed as he snaked an arm around you and pulled you into him, pressing a kiss to your forehead.
You sighed in contentment, from feeling your boyfriend’s arm wrapped around you and from seeing the home you two have built together.
You look over to the kitchen and see your little baby’s ultrasound picture. That baby, who is growing inside you, will be brought to this house in just a few months. That baby will call you, ‘Mom’ and Joe, ‘Dad.’ That same baby who will grow up in a loving home, surrounded by people who will love him or her so much.
“Baby, what’s wrong,” Joe broke you out of your trance after seeing that tears were streaming down your face. “Is there something wrong with the pictures? Because I can move them-“
“Joe it’s okay,” you soothe as he wipes your tears. “I’m just so happy.”
“Good. This is home, baby,” Joe kisses your nose. “Our home that we built, and will continue to build with our little pumpkin, and any others who will follow.”
End of flashback
“Woah woah, let’s slow down there. One is still cooking,” you smiled
Joe smiled, but furrowed his brows as he started lightly pressing into your bump.
“Joe, what are you doing,” you laughed
“My mom said that when she was pregnant with me, it took me a while to kick as well. One day she started pressing into her belly, and I started kicking. I just want to feel the baby kick,” Joe stated
Even though many babies start kicking as early as 17 weeks, your baby had still not shown any signs of kicking. You and Joe were not worried per say, you just wanted to experience one of your baby’s firsts already.
After a few minutes of Joe lightly poking your belly, Joe gave up and laid down next to you, pulling you into him. 
“Can you believe that the gender of our baby is on the kitchen counter right now?”
Flashback to your appointment this morning
“There’s your baby,” your doctor cooed as you and Joe both tear up at the sonogram screen.
“Y/n look, our baby’s growing like a weed,” Joe sniffled. Ever since the first ultrasound, Joe has gotten more and more emotional since you’ve seen your baby. Some men might be ashamed of crying over something like that, but Joe embraced it. He’s not ashamed of loving his baby so much. That proved to you how good of a father he will be.
“I know,” you choked out, “I love you, Joey.”
“I love you, baby,” Joe pressed his lips to the back of your palm.
“We can tell what the gender is if you two want to know,” your doctor smiled
“You can tell already?” Joe asked
“Mhm, it’s no pressure, whatever you all want,” your doctor said
You look at Joe, who simply shrugged his shoulders, wanting you to make the decision.
“Uh, can you put it in an envelope for us?” you asked.
“Of course sweetie,” she replied as she wrote down the gender and put it in an envelope, “I’ll see you guys in a couple weeks.”
End of flashback
“We probably need to start planning the gender reveal for when we get back from France,” Joe kissed your forehead
That’s when you decided to tell Joe about what’s been on your mind for the last few weeks. “Joe,” you whined, looking at him with puppy-dog eyes
“Uh oh,” Joe chuckled, knowing that look like the back of his hand.
“Do you think it would be better if we just… found out together? Like just me and you,” you asked
“So no gender reveal?” Joe furrowed his brows, knowing how excited you were to start planning it.
“I mean don't get me wrong, I think it would be fun to find out what we’re having with our friends and family. I just… want it to just us,” you softly smiled as you met his gaze.
You saw a small smile pull at Joe’s lips as you finished your sentence. “I love that. I love you, Y/n,” he said as he placed a kiss on your forehead. “And I love you,” he said before he moved down and placed a kiss on your belly.
“We love you so much, Joe,” you smiled, bringing him down for a gentle kiss. “So how are we gonna do this?”
“Um.. well,” Joe sighed, “I saw this thing the other day where a couple got a cake with pink or blue inside and cut into it. I thought that was nice.”
“With the champagne glasses?” you asked excitedly, thinking you and Joe saw the same thing
“Champagne glasses? No, like a knife, baby,” Joe chuckled, “How would a champagne glass even work?”
You reached over to your bedside table and unplugged your charging phone. You opened TikTok, and found your ‘Gender Reveal Ideas’ collection in your favorites, and propped your phone up so Joe could watch it with you.
You watched how his eyes lit up when the couple realized they were having a boy. If he’s acting like this when he sees their baby’s gender, imagine how he’ll act when he’ll see ours, you thought.
“How about I take the gender to that bakery across the street from the stadium tomorrow morning before mini-camp, and I’ll pick it up after,” Joe suggested, “I should get home around noon, so we can have a picnic in the backyard for lunch and then cut the cake open with a couple of champagne glasses.” “I can even pick up some sandwiches from that place you li-”
“Joe.” you interrupted
“Yeah?”
“I can make a couple sandwiches for us,” you giggled
“I know , but you’re pregnant,” Joe said
“Yeah, I’m pregnant, not dying,” you laughed
“Okay,” Joe sighed, “but you better be careful.”
“Joe, I promise, okay. Just because I have our baby in my belly doesn’t mean I’m incompetent of doing anything,” you soothed
“I just worry, babe,” Joe said, voice barely above a whisper. Joe was never one to tell anyone when he was nervous, that all changed after you started dating. You were the only person he could open up to on a level like that.
“I know, Joey. Hopefully, nothing will happen though,” you rubbed his chest, prompting him to pull you closer to him.
“I just don’t know what I would do if I lost either of you,” Joe whispered, rubbing your swollen bump, “I couldn’t live without you or the baby.”
“Okay, what’s going on in there,” you asked, rubbing his forehead softly, “because this can’t just be from me making sandwiches.”
“It’s nothing, babe. I don’t want you to worry about me,” Joe sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
“I don’t want you to worry either. It’s not good that you keep the heavy stuff buried inside. I’m here, baby. I’m always right here. Tell me what’s wrong,” you say as you push his curls out of his eyes.
“I’m just… afraid,” Joe swallowed hard, “Afraid that I’m not gonna be here with you when the season starts. What if something happens when I’m away and I can’t save you? I couldn’t live with myself, Y/n. You’re literally my whole world. Our little family is my whole world. I- I don’t know what I would do. Like seriously. I wouldn’t know what I would do.”
“Joey, it’s okay that you’re feeling like that. But there’s a very low chance that something could happen to us. Plus, my due date is during the bye week, so you’ll be home with us,” you soothed
“Yeah…” Joe sighed
“We’ll be okay, I promise. Plus you’re Joe Burrow, if something does happen, even though it’s extremely unlikely, they’ll practically teleport you to wherever I am,” you smile
“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Joe smiled at you, “Thank you, you always know what to say. I love you.”
“I love you so much.” you smiled into the crook of his neck, pressing a little kiss to it before you heard little snores from above you, letting you know Joe was finally resting for the night.
The next day
“Look at you. Do a spin for me, baby,” Joe smiled as he set the cake down on the kitchen counter.
You did his bidding, showing off the entirety of your white sundress that accented your baby bump. “You look fucking gorgeous. Can’t believe you’re all mine,” Joe smiled as he kissed down your neck.
“Thank you. Joey, listen to me,” you said as you pulled his head out of your neck, “Your outfit is laying on our bed, how about you go change and I’ll meet you outside? You grab the cake, I’ll get everything else.”
Joe furrowed his brows as he studied his outfit. He was wearing an old shirt that he’s had since high school and a pair of black Bengals shorts. “What’s wrong with my outfit that I got on?”
“I just want this to be special, okay?” you smiled and kissed his cheek.
“Okay, I’ll be out there in a minute, baby.
“Okayyyyyyy,” you dragged out, walking out the sliding door after grabbing the picnic basket and a blanket.
A few minutes later, Joe walks out wearing a pair of pink shorts and a white Nike polo shirt, prompting you to playfully whistle at him. “Damn, you do a spin for me,” you teased.
After his little spin for you, he helped you sit down on the blanket before you pulled out two sandwiches, two bags of chips, and two waters for each of you, Joe immediately digging in. “Did the workout make you hungry,” you teased
“Mhm,” Joe said while munching down a huge bite of his sandwich. “These are so good, babe,” Joe smiled.
You two shared some small talk while you two sat on the blanket outside, both of you equally nervous and excited to find out the gender of your little pumpkin.
“Okay,” you said as you pulled out two champagne flutes, handing one to Joe, “are you ready?”
“Ready as I'll ever be,” Joe smiled.
“Okay, let’s close our eyes and we’ll open them on the count of three,” you told him
“Okay,” Joe said as he closed his eyes and dug his glass into the round cake. “Ready?”
“Yeah,” you smiled, “3…”
“2… 1…,” you and Joe said together, opening both of your eyes at the end of the countdown. Your eyes widen at the pink colored cake inside of your glass.
“Oh my god,” you smiled, tears streaming down your face
“We’re having a girl, Y/n. A girl! I’m gonna be a girl dad,” Joe cried as he brought you into his arms for a tight hug.
“You are,” you smiled through your sobs.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever been,” Joe smiled as you wiped the tears off his face.
“You always knew, didn’t you?” you teased, referring to how he said that his ‘father’s instincts’ told him it was a girl a couple months ago.
“It’s my father’s instincts,” Joe shrugged with a smile on his face.
“I love you so much,” you smiled into his chest
“I love you both so much,” Joe replied, kissing your forehead.
Later that night
After spending the rest of the afternoon packing for your upcoming trip to France and cooking dinner in the kitchen, you two were sitting in the dining room eating the chicken alfredo and salad. 
“You did really good with the chicken, babe,” you said, popping the last bite of your meal in your mouth, covering it so Joe wouldn’t see the unchewed food. You were referring to how Joe cooked the chicken while you boiled the pasta and chopped up vegetables for a salad. Joe was never one to cook, but that also changed when you came around.
“Thanks, honey,” Joe smiled before an idea popped into his head. Joe abruptly stood up from his seat, walking over to his phone and connecting it to a speaker in the kitchen. You smiled when you heard Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby by Cigarettes After Sex playing on the speaker. Joe walked over to you, extending his hand out to you. “Dance with me?”
“How could I say no to that face?” you smiled as you stood up, Joe placed his hands on both sides of your waist, as your hands went around his neck. Your 20 week bump made it a little awkward, but neither of you minded.
No words were shared until the song was coming to an end, you both were just enjoying each others’ presence.
“You’re so gorgeous, Y/n,” Joe whispered, breaking the nearly 4 minutes of silence, except for the music playing lowly.
“You’re gorgeous. Most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen,” you replied, making Joe blush in return. “I love you and our little girl so much, Joey.”
Joe’s eyes met your gaze, you swore you saw nothing but love in his ocean-blue eyes. He placed a large hand on your bump, “I love my girls so much,” Joe said as your daughter kicked for the very first time.
“I think she loves her daddy too,” you smiled up at your perfect boyfriend, who you already knew was going to be the world’s best dad.
A couple days later
“This place is so beautiful,” you smile, looking out onto the water behind your Airbnb, not seeing Joe’s gaze shift from the scenery to you. “Yeah, yeah it is,” Joe smiled, taking his phone out and snapping a picture of you.
“I’m so excited to be here,” you squealed, turning around and taking him into your arms.
“I’m glad you are, baby,” Joe smiled, checking his watch, “We should probably go if we wanna make it there on time.”
“Okay, let’s go,” you smile as he leads you to the rented car.
Ever since you were a little girl, you loved to travel. So when Joe casually asked you if you wanted to go to France with him, of course you said yes.
Flashback to a couple months ago
“Hey, babe,” Joe said as he plopped down onto the couch next to you as you put one of your fav books down.
“Hey, honey,” you smiled as he laid his head in your lap, prompting you to play with his hair
“Do you wanna go to France,” Joe casually asked, making you stop all your movements with his hair
“Joe… what?” you furrowed your brows
“I have to go to Cannes for a few panels and then to Paris for fashion week in a couple months,” Joe said, “I want my favorite person there… and I know you won’t say no.”
“How are you so sure?” you teased, knowing you want to get a megaphone out and scream ‘Yes!’ at him before showering him with kisses for wanting to take you with him.
“Because you’ve wanted to go since I’ve met you. That’s partly the reason why I said yes to this. I want you to have fun before the season starts again,” Joe smiled sheepishly
“I love you so so so so so much,” you smiled before kissing all over his face, listening to his little giggles escaping his lips.
End of flashback
“Monsieur Burrow?” the host asked before Joe nodded, “Ravi de vous rencontrer.”
“Ravi de vous rencontrer aussi, où commencera notre tournée ?” Joe asked, taking you by total surprise.
“Ici, ça devrait commencer dans quelques minutes. Vous pouvez utiliser les toilettes si vous en avez besoin,” the host said before a staff member called him over.
“I didn’t know you knew French,” you smiled.
“I picked up a few words back in high school when I took the class,” Joe shrugged
“Joe don’t even say that shit to me,” you laughed, “that was literally perfect French. What did you even say?”
“He asked if I was Mr. Burrow, he said it was nice to meet me, I said the same, I asked him when the tour started, he said we can use the bathroom if we need to. Which I am going to do because I am about to piss buckets,” Joe dramatically said.
You giggled at him and his silly words, before watching him walk away. You and Joe were going wine and cheese tasting — well for your pregnant self, just cheese tasting. You told Joe that he should still try the wine, but he insisted that if you couldn’t try it, then he couldn’t either.
As you were standing and admiring the artwork in the lobby, you felt your phone buzz in your purse, you pull it out to check your notifications, seeing a text message from your best friend, Rachel
Rachel: OMG GIRL. Your ex-friend’s sister met someone at a club and he kissed her. TURNS OUT IT WAS THAT GUY YOU HOOKED UP WITH BEFORE YOU EVEN MET JOE. he’s such a wannabe z-lister. They were wearing some UNBEARABLE 2003 outfits. IT WAS BAD GIRLLL. DID YOU SEE THE PHOTOS??
You: No, I didn’t but thanks though
“Are you ready to go?” Joe asked, pulling you out of the trance your phone put you in.
“Mhm,” you smiled, putting your phone back into your purse, before meeting up with the host and starting the tour.
Being with Joe was intoxicating. Being with him made the world go quiet. Normally you would be down for gossiping with your bestie about your ex-situationship, but since you were with Joe, nothing else mattered. He was the only thing that mattered. You didn't see or didn’t care about any news because you were somewhere else, figuratively and literally. 
You were literally in France, but you were also so in love that it blocked everything else out.
Earlier that day
You and Joe were laying on the beach together after a cycle of swimming and tanning. You two were in the shade, not the kind that’s thrown the kind under where a tree had grown, when you realized you probably needed to re-apply sunscreen to both yourself and Joe.
“Babe, let me put more sunscreen on you,” you said, reaching for the sunscreen next to you.
“It’s fine, baby,” Joe cooed, staring into your eyes lovingly
“No it’s not. I don't want you to get cranky when you’re burnt like a lobster,” you giggled
“I love your laugh. I’ll never get sick of it. Even when we’re a bunch of old farts telling our grandchildren about this trip we’re on right now,” Joe smiled as he turned on his back, giving you access to it to apply more sunscreen
“You want to grow old with me?” you asked, as you massaged the SPF onto his muscular back.
“Yeah of course,” Joe said, rolling onto his back so you can get his chest, “I can’t live without you baby, you know that.” “And I mean… you’re already the perfect girlfriend and the perfect mom, I can only imagine that you’ll need a promotion to wife soon.”
Joe’s sweet words made butterflies erupt in your stomach and your heart soar, “Do I get a bonus with that promotion?” you tease, easing your hands up Joe’s thick thigh, landing dangerously close to his crotch.
“If you ask nicely,” he teases back
“Will you be nice and put sunscreen on me?” you ask, not wanting to end up with a limp with how horny Joe has been lately. You two decided to not have PIV sex during your pregnancy. Joe has gotten you off a couple times with his mouth and fingers, and you have gotten him off with a handjob or a blowjob, even though Joe would never ask for one while you were pregnant.
“Of course, baby,” Joe smirked, “When have I not been nice?”
“Literally on the plane on the way here,” you giggled
“Hey, talk all you want, we both know the noises you were making though,” Joe smirked.
“Joe!” you squealed as you playfully hit his chest as his chest shook with his laugh
“You look so sexy with this bikini on, baby,” Joe whispered, looking down at the purple bikini holding your perky breasts up and your baby bump poking through.
“Thank you,” you whispered back, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.
After he got done rubbing sunscreen on you, he stood up abruptly, leaving you confused. You watched as he grabbed a stick before drawing a heart with each of your initials paired with a + JLB’
Your heart soared when you saw Joe’s cheeky smile on his adorable face when he turned towards you.  You were so in love that you could literally stop breathing. Even though you had only been in Cannes for a couple of days, you wanted to draw a map on your and Joe’s bedroom ceiling and pick more places you wanted to go together. 
End of flashback - The next morning
“It’s nice to see you, man,” Justin smiled, giving Jpe a bro-hug.
Justin Jefferson, one of Joe’s closest friends, was also in Cannes for a couple of NFL related panels.
“Hey, Y/n, it’s nice to see you,” Justin said, stepping to give you a side-hug. “You look fantastic too.”
“Thanks Justin, it’s nice to see you,” you smiled. “You ready to go, Joe?”
Joe nodded and grabbed your hand, walking over to where the panel will be held. 
“You can sit back here and watch on that TV,” Joe said pointing to a 55’ TV on the wall backstage once you guys finally got there, “I’ll meet you here after we’re done, I love you.”
“I love you too,” you giggled against his lips, “Just be your sexy self out there.”
“Will do, baby,” Joe said, kissing your lips one more time before walking away with Justin.
You watched on the TV as Joe talked about building his brand and branching out, feeling overwhelmed with how proud you were of him. Joe liked to keep himself closed off, sometimes even to the people closest to him. Over the past few months you’ve seen him grow into himself more and more. Opening up to the people closest to him, and now he’s opening up more to the world.
—--
“I’m so proud of you,” you smiled, wrapping him in a hug when he walks backstage
“I couldn't have done it without you,” he said looking into your eyes, a lovesick look on his face
“I love you,” you smiled
‘I love you more,” Joe kissed your lips
Later that day
“Baby, why do you want me to go shopping?” you asked with furrowed brows
“I can’t tell you that. Just take my card and have some fun, but be back by 7,” Joe smiled, handing you his card.
“I’m not taking your card. I feel like I’m stealing your money,” you replied
“Y/n, you’re not stealing my money. What is mine is yours. I just want to treat my girl, okay?”
“Fineeee. But if when I come back at 7, don’t be surprised if half of your bank account is wiped,” you teased before walking out the door
Joe actually didn't want you to go out without him, but he needed you to.
A few hours later
As you walk back into the Airbnb, the only light is the light in the kitchen. Joe was nowhere to be seen but you notice a note on the counter as you place all of your shopping bags on it.
Laid one of my favorite dresses of yours on the couch. Go get dressed and meet me on the patio, mama.
-Joe
After getting dressed in the dress Joe laid out for you and touching up your makeup and hair, you walk out onto the patio to see Joe standing there in a blue button up and gray pants. You look at the scenery around you to see rose petals and candles everywhere. There was also a vase of roses on the table.
You look up at Joe through your tearful eyes, and see how adorable he looks, a small smile on his face and rocking back and forth on his feet.
“Joe,” you whispered as your voice broke
“Hey, hey it’s okay,” Joe said rushing over to you, “No need to cry, baby. I didn't mean to make you cry.”
“It’s okay,” you giggle, “You’re just too good for me.”
“No, I’m not. This is just a little dinner. I would give you the sky, the stars, and the entire universe if I could,” he says as he kisses your forehead
“Thank you,” you said
“Baby it’s noth-” 
“No, Joe, listen. Thank you for loving me when I thought I was undeserving of love. Thank you for exceeding all my standards I had set. Thank you for just being your confident, silly, nerdy self and loving me to pieces,” you cooed with nothing but complete love in your eyes
“You make loving you easy,” Joe whispered, kissing your lips, “Let’s eat. I know our little pumpkin is hungry.”
Joe led you over to the table where he had Cassoulet delivered for dinner and Tarte Tatin for dessert. You two shared some small talk about anything ranging from football, to the rest of the trip, to the baby.
After you two were done with dessert, Joe pulled his chair so that he was now sitting next to you. “Have I ever told you how much you mean to me, Y/n?”
“Yeahhhhh, but I don’t mind hearing it again,” you smiled
“The first time I ever saw you, I immediately knew I had to get to know you better. It was so stupid of me not to make you mine all those years ago. Watching you grow our little girl is one of the greatest blessings of my life. You are one of my greatest blessings. You make me want to be a better person for you and our little pumpkin. So take this as a promise from me to you,” Joe said as he grabbed a velvet box out of his pocket and handed you a silver ring. The ring had three birthstones in it: your birthstone, Joe’s, and your little girl’s. “With this ring, I promise to love you no matter what, I promise to always cherish you, I promise to always go out of my way and get your pregnancy cravings,” making both you and Joe laugh, “I promise to always be here for you, and I promise to grow old with you, I promise to make you Y/n Burrow, whenever you’re ready.”
“It’s gorgeous, Joe,” you smiled
Joe takes the ring out of the box, smiling at the way your eyes lit up. “Look on the inside of the band.”
You look inside to see ‘Mine, forever and always’ engraved on the inside in Joe’s handwriting.
“This is also so you have a part of me with you when I’m away,” Joe said as he slid the ring onto your right ring finger.”
“I love you,” you smiled, kissing his cheek
“I love you more, honey. More than you’ll ever know,” Joe smiled
“I wish the world knew that you’re mine,” Joe sighed
“Well, we did hold hands today in public, and I’m huge with your baby, so maybe they put two and two together,” you replied as you pushed some curls out of his face.
“I’m thinking of doing an off-season photo dump right before training camp starts, can I post you then?” Joe asked
“Baby, you don’t need to ask to post me. But as long as you’re comfortable with it, then yes,” you smiled, not wanting to push Joe to do something he wasn't ready for. Joe had never posted any past girlfriend’s on his social media accounts. It was like he had a privacy sign on his page. Part of you admired how he wanted to keep that part of his life private, while the other part of you wanted the whole world to know about your relationship. But maybe romance isn't dead, if you keep it just yours.
“Okay,” Joe said as he kissed your forehead, “We still have a while till then, though. If you change your mind, let me know.”
“I will,” you giggled as he showered you with kisses all over your face.
A few days later
You sighed as you turned the TV in the bedroom off, unsure of how to change the language on it to English. You heard a glass being filled with liquid, so you decided to go investigate and figure out what it was.
You and Joe had been in Paris for a few days now, and tonight was going to be one of the biggest moments in his career yet. You and Joe had some of the most romantic dates while in Paris. First going to the Garden of Versailles together since you’re both into flowers, then taking a boat ride down the Seine River with the Eiffel Tower all lit up, then to actually going in the Eiffel Tower, all within the span of a few days.
Now here you were, getting ready to go to a Vogue World fashion show that your quarterback boyfriend will be modeling in. What can’t this man do?
You stumble into the kitchen to see Joe pouring himself a glass of wine. “Babe, it’s only 3, why are you drinking this early… why are you even drinking at all?” you ask, knowing he doesn't usually like to drink.
“Just a little nervous baby, trying to take the edge off,” Joe sighed. “I’m trying to pretend that this cheap wine is champagne,” Joe laughed
“Ah, I see,” you giggled. “But you seriously don't have anything to worry about. You are gonna look hot as hell,” you said as you playfully slapped his thick ass in his pink shorts.
“Trying to rile me up?” Joe smirked
“Not before your big show,” you giggled, “But seriously, you’re gonna do great, sweetheart, no need to worry,” you kissed his cheek.
Joe blushed at the pet name that you used on rare occasions. “You don’t even know what I’m wearing.”
“It doesn't matter, you could literally walk the show in a trash bag and I’d still be struggling to keep it together,” you said
“You better stop saying stuff like that or I’m gonna have to take you to bed,” Joe smirked, leaning down to where his mouth was just above touching yours.
“After you strut your sexy self down that runway,” you giggle, pressing your lips to his. 
“I’ve gotta get going, I’ll see you there okay?” Joe said after looking at his watch, “I already scheduled you an Uber.”
“Okay, I love you so so so much, Joey. Have fun, okay?”
“I love you,” Joe smiled into the kiss.
Later that evening
You were escorted to your reserved seat by a bodyguard. You were a little afraid to see Joe’s suit, wondering what he could’ve been styled in.
As the show started, you saw Sabrina Carpenter walk out to start the show. You saw each person walk down the runway, even horses walked down before your eyes landed on Joe.
Jesus Christ, he looks so sexy, you thought to yourself. He had a full-black suit on with no shirt underneath. When you thought it couldn't get any hotter, it did.
Holy fucking shit, you internally screamed when you saw the open-back suit, showing off his toned back muscles. Your jaw fell open while you silently thanked that there were many cameras on him because you were taken aback to take one on your phone.
As the rest of the show went on, you were once again overcome with so many feelings. You were so happy you had the honor to be a part of Joe’s life every step of the way. He had been through so much lately, but his hard work was finally paying off.
After the show
“There’s my girls,” Joe smiled as you ran into his arms.
“I’m so so so so so so proud of you,” you said, punctuating each ‘so’ with a kiss to his face.
“I love you so much, Y/n. Thank you for flying across the world to be with me,” Joe smiled, swaying you two back and forth.
“Hey, Joe,” you heard Justin call from behind you, “the afterparty starts in like 25 minutes. You think you can make it?”
“Sorry man, Y/n and I gotta head back to the hotel. We’ve got an early flight back home,” Joe replied, absolutely lying through his teeth.
“Alright, see you soon, man… you too, Y/n,” Justin smiled
Once he was far enough away, you spoke up, “Our flight isn't until tomorrow afternoon?”
“I know, I just need to get you alone,” Joe smirked
“Do you think you could… keep the suit?” you asked, your smirk matching his
“Oh yeah… I definitely can, let’s go,” Joe said as he led you out to a car, taking you two back to the hotel.
This love was the love you had been craving your entire life and you never wanted it to end. You wanted to brainwash Joe into loving you forever. You wanted to write him cursive love letters that you would hide for him to find. You wanted to walk down pretend-alleyways with him forever.  Even when you got home, you didn't care about any outside news or gossip, because you were still somewhere else. Being with Joe, it was like he built an outside barrier to keep you safe from any dangers. You were still in Paris, because he is like Paris was a person.

NCT Dream when they choose their best friend over their girlfriend.
AN: At first, I thought that this was about a girl best friend bec. that's much worse LMAO but oh well, guy friends are kinda frustrating too. 
Mark Lee
Mark would probably tell you that you shouldn't overthink about it whenever he hangs out with his friends. Mark knows to himself that he's been a good boyfriend to you. He takes you on dates and keeps his promises, and this is the only time he choses his best friends over you. He hopes that you can be understanding with the situation but it seems like you didn't like that he's choosing his friends over you. Mark would still probably go to his friends but your argument will haunt him throughout the day. 
Huang Renjun
Renjun thinks that you're being irrational. Look, he loves you and he's really REALLY lucky to have you as his girlfriend BUT it just happens that it's his best friend's birthday, he already made plans with his friends and yours was a last minute plan. Renjun thinks that you're being unfair with him and you would probably sulk at the thought of it. Since you couldn't win over his argument you let him be, but you will be so frustrated because he's having fun with his friends while you're sulking over a small thing. 
Lee Jeno
Jeno would be such an understanding boyfriend. He'll calmly nod and listen to your frustration especially the many times he ditched you because he hangouts with his friends or when you two are together, but he's busy playing games with his friends. You knew his friends but you couldn't help but waver the thought that you don't have Jeno's full attention. He promises you that he'll make it up to you but deep inside he just hopes that he doesn't have to choose between you and his friends. 
Lee Donghyuck
Haechan would shrug off your frustration. He thinks that you're being petty and your jealousy to his friend is kinda cute. It'll frustrate you more because he's not taking your frustrations seriously. You'll probably have to tell him that you're serious and he'll tell you that he is serious about what he said too. He will straight-up say to you that you're being petty and there's nothing wrong with him hanging out with his friends. He lets you hangout with your friends so why can't he? 
Na Jaemin
Jaemin understands where you're coming from but at the same time, he thinks that you're being petty with your frustration. He thinks that there's nothing wrong with what he is doing. He still gives you his attention and would chat you whenever he's hanging out with his friends. He would probably talk to you about his side and would tell you that he cherishes his friends as much as he loves you and he doesn't want to be that kind of friend that someone loses because of a relationship. 
Zhong Chenle
When you open up to Chenle your worries about him spending too much time with his best friend, the first thing he'll do was laugh at you. He'll probably take it in a light manner and would tease you about it. But once he realized that you're not responding to his teases, it was something serious. So his attitude shifted to something serious. He convinces you that there's nothing wrong with it and you're just being dramatic with the situation. And as much as you try to justify your answer, he quickly dismisses it. 
Park Jisung
He would also be frustrated that you're frustrated over his best friend. He thinks that you're being unfair with the situation just because he cancelled ONE date of yours and decided to hangout with his broken-hearted best friend. He would probably list down the times that you ditched him for your friend and this wasn't your point, but you two would probably ended up in a heated argument about your frustration.

talkative s/o headcanons — sam winchester
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cw : gn!reader, fluff, kissing, one suggestive comment at the end lol, poor editing, 0.7K words. requested !
prompt : sam winchester x talkative!reader
Tumblr media
⟢ so we know that sam’s a bit on the more reserved side; he’s not as talkative as you by any stretch!
⟢ and at first he maybe is a little overwhelmed or mostly just surprised by how much you talk
⟢ but he gets used to it quickly!
⟢ and almost just as quickly, he discovers how much he loves your voice
⟢ and that means he just loves that you talk so much, and he’s decided he would like for you to never stop!
⟢ he’s come to find it just so so so endearing how much you talk
⟢ like he just stares at you with heart eyes, he's the king of giving you heart eyes while you talk!
⟢ and he’s not sure how you can just fill up a silences with your many, sometimes loud words for minutes, sometimes even hours
⟢ but he does know that he loves it
⟢ he’s got a staring issue (he just really likes to look at you), so he feels very lucky that once he gets you talking, you’ll just go on and on!
⟢ which means he has an excuse to just sit there and listen and watch
⟢ and that way he’s also watching your lips move hehehe and he’s just falling deeper and deeper into your spell
⟢ he also really likes that the amount you talk allows him to get to know you well, because he can constantly learn about the things you like, the things that bother you, the way that your voice changes depending on how you’re feeling
⟢ he knows your content voice, your excited voice, your annoyed voice, your tired voice, and the list goes on and on and on
⟢ and he’ll always pay so much attention so that he can keep you content or calm you down depending on what he reads from you voice
⟢ counts it as a date when you just sit together and talk and talk <33
⟢ it’s seriously just the perfect yapper x listener dynamic hehe
⟢ and sam really really really likes being the one that you talk the most to! he likes that you want to talk to him specifically for so long hehe
⟢ he also now knows the difference between how you talk to just him versus other people
⟢ and he’s secretly so :,) when your voice softens just for him
⟢ he’s also in love with the fact that, while you do most of the talking, part of your talking always includes questions for him or engages him into a really good conversation
⟢ and it’s nice that those conversations range from silly, simple, inconsequential things, to the sort of stuff that you stay up until 2 in the morning talking about with just each other
⟢ which also means that sam just talks more than he did before meeting and dating you!
⟢ which really does him good, because he often has kind of no one to talk to about literally everything
⟢ but by nature of being with you, he’s talking about all sorts of things
⟢ and having consistent casual conversation is just really nice and calming for him <3
⟢ plus, it encourages him to talk about more important stuff more!
⟢ since you’re so comfortable talking to him about pretty much anything, he becomes much more comfortable with talking to you about a lot more!
⟢ he also likes that you’re generally talkative, because that means when you’re too quiet, he knows immediately that something’s up
⟢ sometimes it just means that you’re sleepy, and he’ll always try to figure out exactly what’s going on with you
⟢ if you’re tired, he’ll make you lay down with him and be the one to talk and talk until you fall asleep because he knows that his voice is soothing to you <33
⟢ also him kissing you to shut you up hehe
⟢ not because he doesn't want you to keep talking, but only because sometimes it's the only way to get you to stop and get up and ready to go to dinner lmao
⟢ or because your eyes are drooping and you should go to bed, but you're still talking
⟢ or he’s just kissing you because he’s totally in love and just wants to kiss you hehehe
⟢ and i didn’t say this but he certainly appreciates of your talkativeness or loudness translates to other certain activities if you know what i mean wink wink
⟢ basically he didn’t know that he’d love being with someone talkative so so much but he absolutely does!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i’ve known you ever since the day when we were kids.
- we’ve been neighbours since childhood. you moved to my hometown, went to my class and blended in. everyone liked you, how could i not?
the happiest moment to ever exist.
- i was always happy when you sat beside me and my friends, not wanting to make friends with the others in high school.
check my bucket list, oh, you were on the list.
- before i met you, i didn’t have a bucket list. you just kind of became my best friend and we made a bucket list together. i never showed you mine, cause you were on the list.
i’m living the dream, somebody heard my wish.
- it has always been my dream to have someone like you by my side, so understanding, so beautiful with such an amazing soul. my wish has been heard and i’ve been the happiest ever since.
call out your name.
- my Y/nnie, princess, little one, baby girl, sweetheart, darling, love, honey, baby, jagiya, sweetie, future wifey, koala bear, cuddle bug and many more sweet names. i can give you a million nicknames.
you do the same.
- Channie, future husband, baby, jagiya, sweetheart, cutie, sweetie, boyfriend, darling, baby boy, prince, hottie, kangaroo, Chris, Christopher, Bahng. you never run out of nicknames for me and they always make me blush, laugh and flutter.
hug you all day.
- you love hugging me and so do i. it’s the best part of when i come home after a tiring day of practice and engulf you in a big hug like it’s the last time i’ll ever hug you.
i hope this’ll never end for eternity.
- i love you like the person you are, how your nose and brows scrunch together when you can’t open something and always ask me, or how you silently hug me from behind or the side when i’m busy producing songs. i don’t ever want to leave your side.
— ❀ —
i just want all time to stop.
- time has always been an issue. whether it’s morning or evening. i won’t ever get tired of you. the way you whine in the mornings for five more minutes, or evenings when you cling to me like my little koala bear.
— ❀ —
i’m never letting go.
- i am never letting go of you. you’re stuck with me jagiya. now until eternity.
let’s go on a little walk, see the world outside.
- i always have to drag you outside, or else you want to stay inside most of the times we're together. it's cute.
don't wanna let you go.
- never ever will i leave you. my eyes always find you in a crowd, at concerts or fan-meetings. one small smile and i feel like i can achieve anything in this big, scary world.
the way that you give me your hands, i'll fly.
- the first time you gave me your hand, was when your date dumped you at prom. you were so sad and i wanted to punch the bastard right then and there. even though i wanted to be the one who took you to prom in the first place.
at times when i feel down or empty.
- the times when i'm stressed with work, or when i have writers-block, you're always there to distract me. even without me saying anything, makes me love you even more.
you're always beside me.
- you're always there to catch me at my lowest moment. when i feel like a bad leader, or when i feel like i'm not enough for you, the boys or my siblings back in australia. you're just there doing something random with Jisung or Hyunjin and it brings the hugest smile to my face, making me forget all my worries.
promise that i'll love you plenty.
- i promise that i'll always love you. even when i don't show it or say it enough, my heart only beats for you. the way you joke around with Changbin, Felix and I.N. or play savage with Lee Know or Seungmin. it just fills my heart even more than i thought it could.
i hope this'll never end for eternity.
- i'm sure i tell you this lots but the way you always fiddle with the strings of your (my) hoodie or the way you put your hands in your or my holes in our jeans when you're anxious. it's adorable.
— ❀ —
when i look at you i know that you're the only one.
- i have never been in serious relationships but this one with you is something else. i want you to know that i want you as my first and last for everything.
the only one yeah.
- you're the only one that can make me do things i usually hate and the only one that can calm me down in your own magical way.
nothing in the world could beat our little special bond.
- nothing in the world can try and break our bond. with each other we can be crazy in our own way and none of us would judge each other for that.
'cause we are one.
- we are one. you complete me just as i complete you. you know everything of me like i know everything about you.
run around and make a mess, we don't even have to rest.
- the boys are always loud and a mess so i guess i need you to help me clean after them. being a dad of 7 is a tiring job. luckily i have you and together we can do anything.
every moment is a precious memory.
- every moment together or with the boys are precious. like dancing with danceracha until the early mornings, rapping sessions with 3racha in the studio or just joking around with vocalracha when they have nothing to do.
the way you wake me up in bed, yeah, i hope this never ends.
- you always lave little kisses around my face or just stare at me, staying in my embrace. it's mainly me waking you up cause you love your sleep and always ask for 5 more minutes to lazy around in bed.
i'm lucky that you're my best friend so.
- my best friend, my lover, my soulmate, significant other, my future wife, my girlfriend, my everything. there aren't enough words to describe my love for you. guess we should thank your parents for moving right next to us when you were 10.
— ❀ —
i just want all time to stop.
- those last 16 years went by so fast, it's crazy how fast time flies. i'll never forget our first encounter at school. you bumping into me and then scolding me for accidentally dropping my juice box on your blouse. i felt bad and handed you my shirt. and had a huge smile each time i saw you wearing my shirt that day around school.
— ❀ —
i'm never letting go.
- the time i confessed, and you didn't reply, i thought you'd hate me. instead you grabbed my face and gave me a long and passionate kiss. you were barely 17. i was 20. yet it was the best decision i had made that day.
let's go on a little walk, see the world outside.
- our first date was a walk around the beach. your hand was safely in mine as it was a little over 12 am. our phones full of missed calls from our parents as we enjoyed each other's company.
don't wanna let you go.
- when we told our parents about our relationship, they were over the moon. they never expected us to end up together and your father gave me a firm handshake and told me to speak to him later. never had i feared for my life more than the glare he gave me.
the way that you'll give me your hands, i'll fly.
- the way your hands fit perfectly in mine. it's a sign huh? you're my soulmate now and forever. or how you moved to seoul for me because you couldn't stand the long distance, not realising it would be lonely for you. but then again, i forgot what a social butterfly you are and became friends with half the Kpop industry as you were a dance teacher yourself, teaching dances to little kids who were passionate about dancing.
at times when i feel down or empty.
- there's always times when i feel down or empty. like how i worry about if Berry might forget me after not seeing me for a long time and you reassuring me that she won't. because that's who you are, always reassuring me and the others if one of us is feeling stressed.
you're always beside me.
- you've always been beside me. when i was a trainee, when i debuted, when i wasn't sure about my career and all the other choices i made in these last 16 years. you could read me like an open book and knew all my struggles back then and now.
promise that i'll love you plenty.
- the boys are always complaining how mushy i get when they mention you. they've also mentioned a million times when i'll propose to you, not knowing i've started planning way ahead and am planning to ask you very soon.
i hope this'll never end for eternity.
- you always bring me and the boys lunch on your free days or in the weekend. knowing that we all love your cooked foods. and then like to hang around and even dance together with us to choreo's that Lee Know teaches us. or how you even made some changes to the dances cause you thought they could use another movement.
— ❀ —
ah-ooh (eternity)
- you'll always be my eternity.
ah-ooh
— ❀ —
you make me call out your name.
- a little after 5 pm you arrive home. immediately jumping into my arms as you dump your shoes, coat and bag somewhere in the hallway. ''i missed you jagiya.'' i smile in your neck as you hum in response, telling me you missed me too.
you do the same.
- the way you always call my name when i come back home late. telling you not to wait up, yet every time you still do, attacking me in a tight hug and whine cutely telling me to take a quick shower before we head to bed.
hug you all day.
- the door opens and a few seconds later you're in the hallway with two heavy bags of groceries that you picked up on your way home. while you're cooking, i hug you from behind and we stay in each other's presence as you cook a delicious home made dish.
i hope this'll never end.
- even after a long, tiring day at work, you never fail to amaze me with the amazing dishes you learn from the internet, my mother or yours. the praises i give you aren't enough, so i'll feed you too.
— ❀ —
i'm never letting go.
- you've teased me a lot about going to my 'side-hoes' even though i've never had eyes for someone other than you. of course in those 6 years that we've been together we've had multiple fights. but we always went and apologised even if the fight wasn't that serious. we also have an unspoken rule to never go to bed upset and always communicate things with each other before accusing without proof.
let's go on a little walk, see the world outside.
- i'm planning on asking you on the beach. the exact same one where we had our first date years ago. i've got the perfect plan in mind to get you there and the best way to ask you. i can't wait to see your reaction to this song i wrote for you and the reaction you'll have when i go down on one knee and ask you to be mine for eternity.
don't wanna let you go.
- today, i asked your parents your hand in marriage. they were thrilled to see their little girl getting married to her first boyfriend from 16 years ago. 6 years ago your father glared at me for being the boyfriend of his daughter. today, he gave me a hug and told me he trusted me as your husband.
the way that you'll give me your hands, i'll fly.
- you're never getting rid of me, jagiya. i'll always love and cherish you for who you are. and so will the boys. they were so happy when i told them i'm finally proposing and wanted to be part of the plan too.
eternity.
- you're sleeping in my arms right now, not realising that the ring i'm planning to slip on your finger soon, is safely in it's box in my right hand, while my left arm is tightly wrapped around your fragile body, holding you close to me, your head on my chest right where my heart is beating just for you.

Why Midori is such a breath of fresh air or how to actually write a Villain.
So the awaited essay, the winner of the FrenchGremlin polls of laziness finally has come! It took some time but it’s finally over. If your choice didn’t get chosen that’s okay! I’ll repost a new poll with old and newer options. Please reblog this one i put a lot of time in it, it's like, five pages long over a silly goose. Also sorry for the grammar i sucks and i'm not native. So let’s begin:
(also here is the link to the video format)
So first let’s make things clear, What IS a villain?
“A villain is a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.” That is why I do want to make a difference between a villain and an antagonist, an antagonist is a character who are a plot devices that creates obstruction to the protagonist. That means that a villain is forced to be an antagonist while an antagonist is not forced to be a villain. For example shin is an antagonist but not a villain, he is driven by selfish desires which are themselves fueled by fear anger and loss, he is the protagonist of his own story and is a sympathetic character despite it all, and Midori is just a bitch. Midori falls under multiple stereotypes of villains. Such as “the mastermind”, “evil incarnate” (lmao),”related to the protagonist” etc. Midori is evil, there is no denying in this, he is purely evil, and he doesn’t have a sad weepy backstory, he doesn’t feel empathy towards other, he is a despicable piece of shit who ruined so many lives. I won’t list everything but here is a list of his crimes, murder, assault, domestic abuse, grooming, verbal abuse, and torture, crimes against humanity lmao, stalking, violent crimes, and participation in a cult. And his worst crime is being a pussy bitch of course. So now that we have put the bases up let’s really begin.
Hollywood has a hate boner against villains and I hate them for that.
Recently Hollywood decided that pure evil bad guys is actually a bad thing, so now they decided to do stupid side story with them, to give them ”””depth””” since I guess how could we like those villains since they are bad. A great example of this is the Disney remakes which I loathe so much oh god I hate them. So first they did a maleficient it was okay honestly, then they did a freaking cruella movie where her mom gets killed by Dalmatians, that’s not a joke, in the peter and wendy movie that nobody saw they decided to have made the captain hook be a lost boy who was abandoned by the lost boys and peter, oh also they decided that PETER CUT HIS HANDS OFF AND LEFT HIM TO DIE BECAUSE HOOK WANTED TO SEE HIS FAMILY. They are going to do a freaking mufasa movie, in no time I can’t wait to have a Ursula movie where it’s discovered that ariel killed all of her family in cold blood or something’s. So you might say what’s the problem? I mean isn’t that supposed to make the story more interesting. No, no it doesn’t, because first they take all of the character personality traits and throw them in the bin, second they are supposed to be the vilain in a musical animated movies, I am not against complex villain, I love them, but by doing this, the original character doesn’t exist anymore. Just create original content with new interesting characters instead of doing stuff like this. Also it’s kind of funny than in all of those interpretation they take all the fun and sucks it out, what do I mean by fun, the gayness, Disney vilain are fun because they are camp, they are fabulous extravagant extra in all the ways possible, and that’s the reason we liked them. Not every character needs something super deep, like “my family was burned down at the stake and my dog was eaten by my ex”, sometimes we just like bad fun people, they are the story, and Hollywood hating them so bad just bothers me a lot. Also now the new thing is to not have a villain at all which can works in some narrative but not all of them, it gets boring after a while. In the past people were angry that villains are bland, but now I kind of miss it. While I will critique villains who have no purpose outside of being evil that’s dumb, like for example Voldemort is bland like white bread because his only motivation is being evil, but evil people do exist compared to what some Hollywood writers think, they should know. So that’s why I will put a difference between evil villains and villains whose only purpose is being evil; we loved Disney villains but they still had motivations, goals, reasons that to them a least were worth everything. World domination isn’t enough, why do you want world domination, what is the true reason deep in your heart, is it an inferiority complex, is it a savior complex fuelled by xenophobic beliefs.
That is how to write a pure evil villain, evil people exist all over the world, but I have never seen one who doesn’t have they own reasons to be so bad, it doesn’t excuse their actions nor really explains them. We do not want justifications we want explanations. If you are justifying evil behavior then do it, but don’t claim that it is a pure evil character. A pure evil character can be fun, can be interesting, he can be deep, it’s all about balancing all of their traits to truly make them greats. Which is why midori succeeds while current villains fail. Current stupid remake/spin off try to justify the behavior because they feel like this is what the audience wants, but it’s not what we need. So I will defend to the grave evil villains.
Creating an evil villain doesn’t make them boring guys.
Why the heck does big budget movies have either the blandest protagonist or the blandest villains sometimes both, like I said evil people do exist but comically evil character only works in satire not in a serious multiple millions of dollar movie. Example that boring ass avatar movie, the one with blue people, none of the characters are interesting the villain is one note. The lords of the rings also suffers from that, but I don’t care because the protagonist are so awesome that sauron being personality less doesn’t matter. Also sauron is more of a force of nature villains so it’s not the same. The recent kingsman movie has a bland one note villain, there is nothing entertaining, funny, about him he’s just evil, borrrrring. Every Disney remakes depiction of the characters are boring. I just feel bored out of my mind. Atla one of my favorite shows of all time has a main villain that’s kinda one note, Ozai, but he is actually intimidating guy, azula is the superior character, but I wouldn’t consider her a villain she is an antagonist though. I honestly don’t get why Hollywood thinks that just creating a character with no personality and whose only goals is to be evil is good.
So back to midori for a second, here is my question, when midori was on screen did you ever feel bored? Never right! Because despite midori being an evil character he has an actual personality, he’s fun, you want to punch him in the balls. Because midori has other personality traits than evil, midori is petty, childish, extremely intelligent, controlling, a natural manipulator, he is a trickster, he doesn’t seem to get some social norms, he is narcissistic, easily angry, and fears death etc See how I counted a lot of traits, traits that in other character would works, midori has positive traits, and I think that is the best thing nankidai could have ever done, midori has traits that a regular person could have. Which is why if I put midori in any settings his character would work.
Example, instead of a death game the cast is under the sea to discover the insane wildlife and supernatural stuff happening, what would midori do in this situation? Well he would very passionate about finding all of what’s happening, he’ll do anything to find out, even sometime sacrificing others, not only will he try to find what’s happening, but he is also going to try to find a way to make this discovery favour him in the end. Or let’s imagine it’s a vampire situation, where a vampire attacks  the city, midori would try to stop it, not because he cares, but to experiment on them to get their biology and finds the real secret of immortality since he fears death.
Here is my second advice, after creating your character try to imagine them in another completely different situation, like normal life, or a fantasy world, ask yourself the question what would they do in that environment? If you can find a real complete explanation of their actions then yes your character has multiples dimensions if not try thinking about it again. Some example of questions I do want to point out are some like “if my character had all the power in the world what would they do first or”, “if my character had only a day left to live what would they do”
Why is Current media incapable of creating good threats like bruhhhh.
Okay so first of all let’s talk about stakes in a story, let’s say you are watching a slasher movie, slowly the cast gets slimmed down and people die in horrible ways, that should set stakes right ? Well if the villain is an absolute buffoon who makes the stupidest actions and decisions in the world, you wouldn’t feel intimidated at all because despite what the filmmaker might try to say the plot armor will NEVER make a character intimidating. It’s just like a detective character who just seems to know everything without a thought, well you won’t really fear the character failing. Worse is the the final girl, who is for some reason always escaping the slasher guy by pure luck every time, she is shown as incompetent but still she survives, which make the villain seem completely incapable so now you feel nothing.
To avoid this filmmaker often use techniques such has unpredictability, I mean good I mean good ones, for example instead of immediately seeing whose going to survive because the black guys always dies first and the virgin white woman is the last survivor, change the status quo, make us think that this character is obviously safe while they actually aren’t at all. Or actually make them menacing by SHOWING to the audience how horrible dangerous they can be. Which is why SHOW DON’T TELL is so important, telling us how dangerous someone can be only to see them get beaten to death at the end of the movie makes us feel nothing.
Midori felt like a impossible person to beat, he is smart, had twenty plans in advance, even in situation where the cast felt like they might have a chance he was always armed, just like the gun he promised to use or the rocket punch. When they felt like they were finally advancing, he put obstacle in their ways, such as the collar game or the moment he put the collar on explode mode for  ranmaru. The entire point in the murder game was to make time pass, it took a long time for the cast top realize that this whole time they were losing precious time not realizing that the dummies were the real problem. The characters that made you feel the most hopeless were the dummies, if you won by killing midori they would die, but if you lost you might lose people you love (keiji or gin). It felt hopeless because they were no solutions in the end. That creates tension so that creates stakes. If we were told how dangerous unpredictable sou was then it wouldn’t hit the same, we are shown that he is that terrible. There is a scene ingame where bbg shin ai tells us that midori tortured and like to destroy people. That’s exposition so TELL, but do you why it works, because we are SHOWN before his behavior. Midori felt unbeatable, so the fact that we were shown his weakness such has his petty behavior, hatred of minors, and fear of death, for the first time it feels like there is a chance that we might survive this. And still after he isn’t shown has an incompetent buffoon, he is one, but the narrative doesn’t show us that he is.
What is also consider is good to make the audience feel actual stakes is to first really develop well the main characters, how can we feel worry for a character if we don’t know them, the audience need to feels emotional connection to the main cast to actually care. You can use things such has moments where there is nothing special happening just character talking getting to know them. Make us feel why we need to care about them possibly losing, instead of being indifferent. Or I don’t know maybe make an entire spin off game where we get to have the cast talk to each other and seeing dynamics between character that died early to get them a chance to shine and make their death even more tragic, or even make mini episodes of characters who only got a single chapter to show off their characteristic, to get us to know them better? But that’s just a silly idea of course, wink, and wink.
My favorite thing about Midori is that he is actually pathetic, like really pathetic, but weirdly realistic?
Midori is the most pathetic character in the cast, yes more than shin, shin is leagues less pathetic. No I’m not saying that midori is not intimidating or scary, I would piss myself if I saw him. He’s a scary guy. But if you look at him more closely you can see that he is a baby brat in a big boy suit.
So let’s start by something clear, Sou Hiyori clearly displays antisocial behavior, or in common terms he is a psychopath/sociopath, this illness is very badly seen in medias, I am not saying that people who lacks empathy like him are inherently bad, he is, a lot of people with antisocial behavior actually suffers a lot and have a difficult life. Sou real issues is not his antisocial behavior, it’s his narcissism and god complex. Sou feels the need to HAVE CONTROL over others, he like the feeling of being in power, he sees the rest of the world has beneath him, toys for his pleasure. He says that he “really like humans” because despite it all he seems to put himself in a different categories than regular people, they are beneath him. When he loses control his calm and cool behavior disappears and we see his true face, a grown man who has throws a tantrum like a baby. One of the best representation of this is midori views on the cast:
Midori hates kanna, like no jokes he has beef with her, a fourteen years old, actually he has beef with a lot of people in the cast. Midori views emotional people has weak, people who are loving optimistic as beneath him and useless. He preferred when sara was cruel and horrible, that’s what he loved about her, he liked seeing her scary emotionless side. But Kanna, kanna is everything he hates. A crybaby who not only puts the group in harmony, is a source of hope in general, is the reason he near got to have closure with shin (killing him), he views kanna as “not fun shin”. We have many proofs for this, if you type the word kanna kizuchi he says this: “Poor Kanna'd weep! I think a more worthless name would be better for someone like me” He mocks her, but also himself (I’lll come back on this later), he calls her worthless. Also in the electric charge minigame, when he can choose who to shocks he chooses two people in particular, kanna who he hates and hinako who ruined his fun by giving the cast a chance in saving ranmaru. But he does also says mean spirited stuff to other people, qtaro and gin. He also says some sarcastic comments about nao and joe, saying that it’s such a shame that they died so young. But you might say why kanna especially? Because he is a petty baby who is jealous of kanna, Yes jealous, of kanna, a fourteen years old. Because he feels like she stole his hubby wubby shin away from him…. God I hate him. And you know what that make him a pathetic idiot, after the scene where kanna beats his ass, he’s all mad and like “uhh I’m going to pout I wanted you to cry like a lot, now I’m gonna cry”. An that’s actually god, because it humanize him, he wants need thoughts, he isn’t one note, and that’s the most important!
Sou is a villain but before that he is a character, a fully developed character, and THAT’S WHAT MAKE HIM GREAT, Sou works because he works realistically, I mean if you forget the robot part, it’s easy to imagine a narcissist man child who needs to feel in power towards other, so his main prey are young vulnerable people.Which leads me to my next point:
Sou is a failure like really, and we aren’t sad for him.
Sou failed everything he worked on, he failed to get the paper from alice, he failed whith shin since he had to leave earlier than he thought he would leave, because of his mistake he lost his position in the death game, then he failed to kill gin or keiji, and then he died like an idiot losing his cool and acting like a toddler. And he knows it that why he is a bit self-hating (he should be). And yet none of us feel any sympathy towards him, why? Because sou is one of the most despicable guy in existence. He is a disgusting pervert, sadistic asshole, and abusive narcissistic cunt who thinks he is better than everyone. From the bottom of my heart I hate him sooooo much he is literally the character I hate the most in existence. He abused shin, ruined keiji’s life, traumatized the entire cast, literally assaulted sara like he physically assaulted her. He mocked nao and joe and kugie life as useless. He is an obsessive jerk AND I HATE HIM. And you know what…… It’s good. Like I actually feel a lot of emotions when I think about him, he fuels me with anger and disgust, and if your characters can make me feel that much rage then you did it, you created an actual perfect character. Hiyori is such a shit person that I think about him a lot, writers shouldn’t be scared to make a character such hittable assholes, example bojack horseman in bojack horseman is the vilest man on earth and I love it, because I genuinely hate him. Just like I genuinely love kanna, like really I really love her, I in the same time despise midori so bad. We hate him because he is horrible to good people that WE KNOW AND CARE ABOUT, not random npcs. There is a lot of… disgusting implications in his story with shin that I will not talk about it makes me really uncomfortable right now. SO HERE IS A VERY TACKY TRANSITION TO TALK ABOUT WHY I HATE JUNKO FROM DANGANRONPA.
Junko is boring, that’s it, she is boring, not funny not interesting, she is a fetish, she is the biggest Mary sue on earth, she is a gross character made to make fun of people with disabilities and queer people. Her only traits is being crazy, that’s it. I wouldn’t call midori that crazy actually, he’s methodical calculated, and precise. Crazyness is a term for people who aren’t in control of their actions and delusional about reality, sou is not crazy, he knows what he is doing, he is in full control, while characters like shin should actually be consider crazy, like shin is actually crazy but sou isn’t.
Conclusion:
Sou is a breath of fresh air, because nankidai had the balls to write an actually interesting deep and threatening character AND make him a villain. He didn’t fall into the trap of making him have a sad backstory or good motives, sou is just selfish, that’s all he is. He make him a fun entertaining guy who you absolutely hates, he made him threatening and at the same time a complete doofus. He made him humane and pathetic.
But the thing that make me love nankidai the most is this
Tumblr media
The fact that he actually killed him that takes courage as a writer to just end a character THAT WAY, which is why midori will never come back alive he is forever dead. And that take a lot of talents as a writer to just take one of the most important characters and just get him drilled to death in the anus, like dammn nankidai you are a savage. That fact alone makes him one of the best characters in game, I hate him as a person, but has a character he is a masterpiece.
Though Kanna could solo him

part 1
》 The Lamb and His Monster by petrodactyl352 (Explicit)(104k)
Will has always been drawn to the macabre. The proverbial flame upon which he has burnt his fragile moth’s wings time and time again, it’s why he had fallen in love with Florence and why he alone seems to see the beauty in the grisly but exquisite work of Il Mostro. But when he meets a young man in the Uffizi Gallery whose sketchbook is filled with nothing but page upon page of intricate renditions of the Primavera drawn in reverent strokes of pencil, he realizes he may not be alone in his fascination with the Monster. As they lift veils and scale forts and slowly begin to understand each other, Will gets a taste of exactly how bright the cinders of intrigue can burn—and how quickly they can kindle into an inferno of obsession.
(Young hannigram in Florence ahhh this is seriously one of the best fics i've ever read it had to be at the top of the list)

(I loved this one bc what better setting than a nudist lake. This is just gay as hell honestly lmao bc the lake is all dudes and Will is "straight" at the beginning until he meets Hannibal and it's all downhill from there. Definitely give this one a read it had some hilarious moments too)
》 Doing Things That Friends Don't Do by HigherMagic (Explicit) (39k)
A year after the fall, Will and Hannibal have settled into a fairly blissful, domestic harmony. But Will's imagination has never let him simply enjoy what he has - why should it start now?
(Basically Will trying everything in his power NOT to have sex with Hannibal but of course we all know he can't keep it together. They are so horny for each other in this i died laughing so many times. Also this author is such an amazing writer expect multiple recs from them in this post)

(Hannigram roadtrip!! This fic was so fun I loved it. They take on the identities of some familiar Mads and Hugh characters ;)
》 Unexpected Delight by HigherMagic (Explicit) (61k)
Will has a kink that he’s deeply ashamed of. Unbeknownst to him, Hannibal has the same or a similar/compatible kink. They get together, and Will is going out of his way as he usually does to seem like his sexual tastes are as “normal” as possible. As a result, Hannibal gets the idea that Will is super vanilla and maybe a little prudish, and not wanting to scare him off, is also keeping his kinky side on the DL. This goes on for while, with them each trying super hard to hide how kinky they are and act as “vanilla” as possible, to hilarious results, all while privately thinking the other one would be super freaked out if they knew since they’re obviously so sweet and normal.
(This whole thing is literally ALL smut 😭😭 but Han and Will love each other to death and the sex is so good y'all omg I had to stop reading multiple times to catch my breath)
》 The Substitute by Devereauxs_Disease (Explicit) (10k)
When Hannibal tells Will he's sick, Will is skeptical. Before he knows it, he's laying in a hospital bed and being told he's going nowhere for two weeks. Will is distraught until Hannibal swoops in and offers to take over Will's courses at the FBI Academy. Will doesn't mind Hannibal showing up every night with a home-cooked meal, but he might just resent Hannibal becoming the most popular teacher at the Academy in just two weeks...
(A seaon 1 au if Hannibal wasn't an asshole had told Will about the encephalitis. This is hilarious tho because the students don't like Will no more when he comes back and they keep asking about Hannibal 😭😭 poor Will lmaoo)
》 When This Old Tired Body Wants to Sing by KareliaSweet (Explicit) (7k)
“Fuck me quicker, darling,” he purrs with liquid insincerity, “God forbid you see my face.” Will never touches him unless it is in the dark. In the daylight he is a ghost.
(Will being an asshole and only fucking Hannibal in the dark ugh 🙄 but things work out eventually so don't worry!)
》 Maybe Tomorrow by Shotgun_sinner (Explicit) (26k)
After recovering from their tumble off a cliff, Will agrees to get Hannibal to Portugal, where the good doctor can start a new life for himself. In exchange, Will can take the boat and return to his life, or start over himself. A storm hits on the open water, leaving them stranded somewhere in the Azores. With no one else on the small island, they're forced to work together for survival, and work through their violent past in order to get along.
(A survival au! I LOVED this and author is another fave of mine. I go crazy for a good stranded on a deserted island trope and this did not disappoint. Also there is an insanely funny part where I absolutely DIED. You'll know when you read it 💀💀)
》 I've Always Been A Daughter by air_of_the_Waterfall (44k)(Explicit)
It's been a month since Will and Abigail ran away with Hannibal. Living in a safe Canadian town, Will and Hannibal are free to explore their newfound intimacy and Abigail has a chance at the future she craves. However, upon meeting Hannibal’s sister Mischa and her daughter, loyalties are tested and insecurities run rampant. The Lecters have an undeniably dark past, and as Abigail and Will fall deeper into its truths, Hannibal’s manipulation and misguided love come to light more clearly than ever before.
(This fic is truly a hidden gem I am so glad I found it. Murder family post-mizumono and also MISCHA LIVES. The plot is so well written and I love Mischa's characterization. Definitely give this one a read, yall it is SO GOOD it deserves so much love)
》 Home is Not a Place by Shotgun_Sinner (11k)(Explicit)
Post-Fall, Hannibal recovers from his injuries. Will takes care of him, and their relationship evolves much more easily than Hannibal thought it would. The only issue is that Will is a constant presence, and he hasn't had alone time in three years. It ends up not being an issue at all.
(This one is so sweet. Basically Hannibal wants to jerk off but he can't because Will is just always there and he hardly gets a moment alone and he'll feel bad for telling him to go away 😭😭 but they finally get together in the end
》 Held in the Highest Regard by HigherMagic (12k)(Explicit)
What happens when a group of serial killers pick the absolute worst targets? Will is already having a pretty rough night, since Hannibal proposed to him and Will said 'No' for reasons he still hasn't quite figured out yet. It's not their fault - they couldn't have known - but sometimes people have to learn lessons the hard way, and Will could definitely use some stress relief.
(If you are familiar with the movie 'The Strangers' then you'll really like this one. I reread it like three times it was so good. Shit had me tweaking omg this is like the perfect au for them)
》 Green-Eyed Monster by CestPasDuBaudelaire (53k)(Explicit)

Then comes Will's spiraling, as he learns to come to terms with a disastrous, chaotic and slowly overwhelming possessiveness. And of course, feelings are never easy to deal with, when Hannibal is involved. A smut character study in three acts exploring Will's possessiveness.
(Top!Will my beloved. Don't let the title fool you, this was so fun to read and I love the community for wanted criminals idea. And possessive Will is always a treat ;)
》 Haunted by Anonymous (165k)(Explicit)
Still recovering from their fight with Dolarhyde, Will and Hannibal escape to New Orleans with Chiyoh's help. But Will is still struggling to accept Hannibal and his own darkness, something that Hannibal has every intention of helping him overcome...
(And finally I leave you guys with this monster of a fic. So sad that the author chose to go anon but if they somehow see this I hope they know how much I love this story. Will is struggling and Hannibal is an asshole at certain points but when is he not? Lots of references to Will's past too and some stuff about his mom that's very interesting)
I hope you guys enjoy these stories as much as I did. If you read any and want to discuss my messages and ask box are always open! ♡♡♡

karen page is so annoying in the show...is she better in the comics somehow or is she just like that
So I've actually wanted to talk about this forever, but I kept forgetting to make a post about it. Your ask is a perfect opportunity to write down all my thoughts. Brace yourself, because I have a lot to say. Sorry in advance lmao
I actually prefer Karen in the show. To be fair, I have not finished all the comics, but so far I think her TV counterpart is a lot better (I still like her a lot in the comics tho, don't get me wrong). The NMCU version of Karen Page also has a lot of Kirsten McDuffie (another comic book girlfriend) in her, which is great in my opinion.
A lot of people find her annoying, but to me it's her flaws that make her such a fantastic character. She isn't a caricature, stock-girlfriend character pulled from a box of tropes; she's a well-rounded individual, extremely realistic, a mirror of Matt Murdock, and a woman with real agency. Her actions have major consequences on the plot. In my opinion, a lot of superhero girlfriends (in comics, movies, TV, whatever) are written more like props than characters, and they don't have any agency or actual plot relevance. Which is why, when a lot of them die, their deaths feel so cheap and inconsequential. That's where fridging comes from. It's been a problem with superheroes since their very inception; and a problem in storytelling at large. So often in fiction, women are flat and unrealistic.
So to me, Karen's heavily-flawed character is refreshing. She is extremely impulsive; she's deeply intelligent, but makes such stupid decisions; she can be hypocritical, self-destructive, and petty. Sometimes she manipulates people, even unintentionally. She's very well-meaning, but constantly makes mistakes. And it's these mistakes that move the plot forward, and reveal important things about both her and Matt. Her actions have real consequences for the story, and she undertakes her own journey throughout the narrative. She is almost as much a protagonist as Matt is, in terms of her character development and growth.
For that matter, every one of the flaws that I listed are things that Matt does too. They are almost perfect mirrors of each other; people who are immensely concerned with justice and compassion, people who care for the truth, and people who want to make their city a better place. However, as they go about it, they stumble and make mistakes and endanger other people. They're hypocritical and contradictory and impulsive. They constantly have to call their own moralities into question, because they almost never live up to their high ideals.
(Also, as a side note, I think many of Karen's flaws—as with Matt's—come as a direct result of all the trauma she's been through: her mother's death, her brother's death, her alcoholism and drug addiction, her dad cutting her off, being framed for murder, almost getting murdered in prison, etc. So I think it's fair to give her some grace.)
But what makes both Karen and Matt so lovable, imo, is that they keep trying. No matter what mistakes they make, they get back up and try again. They do everything they can to atone for the blood on their hands.
I think also (and I'm not accusing you of this, just a certain subset of people in the fandom) that people are more willing to accept Matt's flaws than Karen's—because there's a lot of misogyny built into our society, and there's this ingrained idea that women have to be paragons of virtue. Women, both in fiction and in reality, tend to be put under a microscope and dissected, while men can get away with a lot more. So Matt and Karen have identical flaws, but only Karen gets hate for it, which makes me very sad.
It may be the writer in me, but imo flaws are what make a character—and a story—meaningful. A well-flawed character can take a ridiculous, implausible story and make it feel grounded and real and impactful. A well-flawed woman even more so. I love Karen for the same reason I love Jessica Jones and Wanda Maximoff; or, to go beyond Marvel, for the same reason I love Jo March and Katniss Everdeen and Miss Haversham and Katherina Molina. They all elevate their respective stories beyond the initial premise and plot. Flawed female characters are realistic and impactful, and therefore empowering.
Obviously, to each their own. Some people just find her annoying and don't like her personality, and that's fine. But for me, that's what makes her feel real, and that's why I love her.
