“What’s got you so grumpy?”
Sukuna dodges your finger. It fails to meet its destination of his cheek as he tilts his head to the side, earning a frown from you before you huff and try again.
He looks up from his phone with an irritated glance when your fingertip digs into his face.
“What are you talking about?” He grunts.
He knows exactly what you’re talking about. Normal Sukuna is irritable enough—grumpy Sukuna is about as bad tempered as a hornet who’s had its nest kicked. (Which is to say: he’s pretty fucking unfriendly at the moment.)
“You’re sulking,” you point out—and that statement earns a sharp glare from him as you seat yourself on his lap. (Still, he makes room easily for you, leaning back on the couch and putting his phone down to the side so his hands can rest on your hips. Grumpy Sukuna is never grumpy enough to push your body away—if anything, it’s the one way to get him less agitated).
“I’m not fucking sulking,” he says. It’s almost petulant, but you have enough grace to spare his dignity and not point it out. “I don’t sulk.”
“Are you sure?” You raise a disbelieving brow—he clicks his teeth at the way you choose to question him, but it softens considerably when your lips peck his jaw delicately. “You look pretty sulky to me.”
“Get your eyes checked.”
“Can’t. Then I might see you for all your ugliness. We wouldn’t want to throw years down the drain once I come to my senses do we?”
It’s his turn to raise a brow, sarcastically snorting as you give him a cheeky wink. “If you wanna try ‘n be a smart ass, at least be realistic about it. Saw you checking me out just this morning through the mirror.”
“Maybe you need your eyes checked,” you huff, “I was not checking you out.”
“Pretty sure you were,” he smirks, lips pulling into a haughty grin. Getting under your skin with his smugness is about the only way to cheer him up, it seems, because he looks rather pleased when he adds, “it’s okay. Don’t blame ya for bein’ possessed by my impressive physique.”
“Too bad your personality isn’t as dazzling,” you quip back easily.
It’s meant to be lighthearted, of course—but it seems to be the wrong thing to say. Quite wrong, in fact, because as soon as the words escape you, he tenses before locking his jaw.
There’s a flash of something in his eyes. Something you don’t think you’ve ever seen in Sukuna’s face—doubt. It’s a little odd, in all realness. Sukuna is not a doubtful person. He’s confident, and he’s confident enough that it’s almost to a fault. He’s cocky and smug and sometimes a little too self-assured for it to be considered good for his health.
It’s a bit unsettling to see his face almost fall at something you say, especially when you just say it for the sake of light banter.
“Yeah?” He chuckles dryly. It sounds dangerously self-deprecating—enough that it makes you frown. “Good thing I have my abs to keep you glued to my side then, huh?”
“Well, it’s not just your abs,” you hum, one hand smoothing over his shirt to feel the ridges of his muscles through the shirt. “Your boobs are pretty great, too.”
To prove your point, you give his left pectoral a gentle squeeze. He scowls before shoving your hand away as blush creeps along the back of his neck.
“You fucking freak,” he mutters.
Something is bothering him. You know you can’t directly ask it out of him, otherwise he’ll deny it left and right, but something is bothering him. Sukuna is not good with words or emotions. In fact, he’s pretty awful at anything that has to do with anyone’s feelings. (He’s better about yours more than other’s, but he’s pretty far from good.)
You don’t mind. There’s something oddly charming about witnessing the way he navigates softening up for you—it’s like watching a baby take their first steps. Wobbly. Slow. Unsure. Pretty badly executed, but endearingly rewarding all at the same.
Except, this time, it’s not your emotions he’s navigating. For some reason, yours are easy than his own. Navigating yours means he doesn’t have to try. He knows you better than he knows himself. Knows when your feelings are hurt by the twitch of your brows alone. Knows you’re sad by the dimness in your eyes. Knows you’re pretending joy when your laugh is quieter than usual. Knows you’re faking it when your smile is a much more tight lipped and a less bright version.
But his own feelings are complicated. A lot more than he cares to try and understand them for. In true Sukuna fashion, he always aims to ignore his problems until they seemingly disappear.
But you’re too difficult to let that slide. He brushes things under the rug, and you pull the rug from under his feet and make him fall face first into his problems.
“Hey,” you nudge him, cupping his face with your hand gently, “what’s gotten into you? It’s weird when you’re not pissing me off a couple of times every hour.”
“And that’s supposed to be a good thing?” He challenges, like your words seem to tick him off more, “what are you sittin’ here for if I’m always pissing you off?”
Oh, you think. So that’s what it is.
You smile, humming before you gently tilt his face up. Something vulnerable is attached to that frown of his. Like he’s waiting for your answer because he needs something to hold onto. Some metaphorical lifeline where your feelings are attached to his own, just to keep you chained together. Where you’re always somewhere that he also is. Where he doesn’t have to care about his emotions because what you feel is what he feels, too, and as long as you’re okay, so is he.
But you care. You seem to care a pretty great deal because you lean in and brush your nose against his as you kiss his lips softly.
“Who cares if you piss me off?” You snort, “I piss you off better. I’m pretty good at it.”
“You are,” he agrees instantly.
You give him a fleeting huff against his mouth as you mumble, “you don’t have to agree so fast.”
It pulls a small laugh from him, making his arms snake around your waist and tug your body closer. Chest to chest, heartbeat thumping in two, synchronized rhythms.
“What happens when I’m all old and expiring and my abs are gone?” He raises a brow. You hum, stroking a thumb along his cheek as you smile and admire him.
“We’ll still be pissing each other off, I bet.”
“That’s supposed to be good?” He repeats, this time much more unsure. Anyone else could hardly catch the air of hesitance in his words, but you catch it instantly.
“Why not?” You shrug, “it always worked for us, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah,” he scoffs, “that’s until it doesn’t.” He spits the words out, not meeting your eyes. It’s like they taste acrid is mouth and he can’t bring himself swallow them down.
You don’t say anything. Instead, you lean in and just press a line of kisses from his chin to the corner of his lips, purposely dodging his mouth and littering small, delicate pecks along his cheek. And then his forehead. And then the bridge of his nose.
Never his lips, though. And he gets increasingly frustrated by it.
“What are you waiting for?” He grumbles, eyeing you with a look that screams: quit fucking around.
You fight back an amused smile. “Does it piss you off?”
“Course it does. Kiss me properly or back off my face—”
“Cause you love me right?” You ask cheekily. He pauses, thinking on it for a moment before slumping wearily.
“And if I do?”
“You piss me off too. Because I love you too,” you whisper, forehead against his as your hands cradle his cheeks. Because you do.
When he texts late, and makes your blood boil, it’s only because you love him. When he’s brutally honest and doesn’t say what you want to hear, you’re only mad because you care what he thinks so much. When he’s stubborn and refuses to meet you halfway, you’re only angry because there’s no one else you’d rather cross the bridge with than him.
He pisses you off. You care enough to be pissed because it’s him. And when you piss him off too, he cares enough to deal with it because it’s you.
It’s a funny, twisted little way to love and be loved, but it works. For some odd reason, it does. It’s a seamless, smooth, crackless road.
You don’t ever fix something that’s not broken.
“That doesn’t make sense,” he sighs, resigning himself to your weird, roundabout explanation. You laugh, pinching his cheek as you grin brightly.
“That’s because you’re a bit dim.”
“Yeah,” he rolls his eyes, “okay. Anything else?”
“Yeah, actually. I love you.”
He pauses. Swallows for a moment before his arms tighten their grip on your hips just a smidge before burying his face into your neck and mumbling, “me too. Love you so much, it pisses me off.”
“I like to get under your skin like that,” you stroke his hair, beaming as you add, “guess you’ll just have to deal with it.”
His lips stretch into a small grin before a low, rumbling chuckle breathes itself against your skin. “Guess so.”
————————
a/n: insecure modern! au sukuna who doesn’t admit it and refuses to acknowledge that he’s aware he’s difficult to love and can’t understand why you love him but he also doesn’t want to question it for fear of scaring you away is very near and dear to me and i’ll be talking about it from my grave still. you’ll just hear my ghostly voice spooking you through the night talking about how he’s a softie deep down under all the layers. like an ogre okay? ogres have LAYERS.

if you feel like doing any more game rec requests, got anything for "pokemon, but harder"? that is, actually needing to stop and think about next moves rather than just spamming my strongest move ("FLOWER TRICK! GO!"). despite how influential pokemon is, i tend to have a lotta trouble finding games in the "monster collector fight em all" genre that arent even more pared down! I still have fun w those oc, but other times i want a lil challenge ya kno?
For example, one i have found myself that was at least a lil bit more challenging was monster hunter stories 2, a game where ironically the story is one of the weaker points.
while I wouldnt call it incredibly difficult, the battles are designed to be at least SLIGHTLY longer so that you need to plan at least a lil more long term, unlike pokemon which seems to end up with a TON of 2 hit K.O. battles even for the late game and sorta makes non-damage moves feel like a waste (though i would wanna avoid st with the "long battles automatically equal harder", just. 5 turns avg is a lot more time to strategize than 2 turns!) and the battle system is designed to encourage switching up moves (its got a sorta rock-paper-scissors system)
It really depends on what your tolerance level for edgy neo-gothic bullshit and monsters that look like giant dicks is. The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is basically the gold standard for monster-collecting games that a. actually provide interesting tactical choices, and b. try to kick the player's ass all up and down the street. However, most of the games are also edgy to the point of self-parody, which isn't everybody's cup of tea.

The Hunt
Shouma Toriashi X reader ( chapter 1)
Word count: 1163
TW: not really just so strong language…
Summary: life as we know it can change in an instant, and so do feelings and the people you meet.
MASTERLIST
chapter 2
A/N: HEY GUYS this is just a small project I wanted to start! I just got done reading the manga so I’m going to re-read it and hopefully I can better depict the characters better!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY ( p.s. DONT WORRY IM GOING TO HOP BACK ONTO MY OLD STORIES OF L AND LEVI! )
It was another day of school and homework on homework that’s been passed out.. I never understood why they bombard us like we don’t have other classes to work on.i look over to see Yoshino already walking towards my desk, with that I sit up straight ready to hear what she has to say .
“ hey Y/N do you want to come over? Shouma and I are going to study together?” Yoshino asks while putting both her palms flat against my desk and looks down at me.
“ oh yeah sure..” I nod in agreement. Behind me is shouma but he’s usually in his own world .
“Great, well I guess this is where we part ways, we’ll meet at the school entrance after this period.” With a firm nod Yoshino walks away and out of the once shared classroom we had. I stare at the class room door watch as students walk out together all looking the same as the other. Ever since I was younger I saw majority of everyone the same. Bland and simple, each face the same as the last.
At first glance people might look at us and think what an Odd group, then again we are really only each others friends. But it was for the first time that I saw people. I saw character in both Yoshino and Shouma. Deep in thought I shake out of it, and With that I get up and gather my things getting ready for the next class, physical education.
Oh how I dreaded that class, simply because it’s where both shouma and I lose our cool.
“ Hey” you kick Shouma’s chair to grab his attention. “ get up before we miss our last class.” With a look that could kill Shouma glared at me but gets up to follow.
I finally changed into the PE outfit but as always the bottoms are just too short. “ are you kidding Me I literally got then in a bigger size to hopefully be longer!! CURSE YOU ABNORMALLY LONG LEGS!”
You and Yoshino are one of the tallest girls in your class, in the whole school in fact and everything you’ve come to wear has always been an issue with length. With a sigh I muster up the courage to leave the changing room, and to my disappointment none other than Toriashi Shouma is waiting outside the female dressing room.
“Couldn’t find any shorter shorts Y/N?”
“Shut up Toriashi, these are the longest pair I have.” I huff walking away from him.
Today was a game of volleyball, not my favorite but one that i can stand. That is until I found out Shouma is on my team! Ugh I swear if I lose because of him, he’s dead meat.
“ better not fuck this up Shouma.”
“ Don’t worry, maybe if you had a bigger ass I’d be distracted.”
How dare he… that’s it he’s dead. I try to ignore his comment and walk to my center position like the team agreed on, waiting for the game to start.
During the whole game I could feel someone’s eyes on me, analyzing every movement. I should be used to it, considering being friends with Yoshino, she has hundreds of eyes watching her every move anytime we go out in public. But this gaze is different .. much different.
As the game continues on, And like always Shouma and I are fighting for dominance on our side of the court.
“ you idiot, I said it was mine! Why did you jump forward!”
“ because it was clearly in my side Y/N”
“ no it was not Shouma and you know it! You did it on purpose, there was no reason for you to be that close to my back!”
Mid game while we were taking the 3 min break trying to switch sides of the court, Shouma comes up wrapping something around my hips.
“ what are you doing?” I look down at what’s around my hips and up to the person who’s hands are tying The Jacket into a knot.
“ just keep it on”
“ Shouma you’re supposed to keep your arms covered” I whisper yell at him, I swear he never used his brain.
“Just keep it on.” He mumbles before walking away, with a sigh I just brush it off and try to focus on the game. Shouma has always been so annoying like my brother. Always trying to boss me around and oh does it make my blood boil. What makes me more upset is i always try my best to make sure he’s always covered at all times and no tattoos peak through, but he just doesn’t care.
The game finally ends and I walk up to him ready to hand him his jacket back.
“ here take it ba—.”
“ I said keep it on Y/A.”
“ the game is over, I’m giving it back to you now.”
“ No, go change, once you are changed you can give it back.” He grabs the sleeves of the jacket and ties it back firmly around my hips. I’ll be damned if he thinks I’m just going to listen to him.
“ I said take your damn jacket bastard!” I untie the jacket and chunk it at him and walk away back into the changing room. This man infuriates me, it’s not like I wasn’t Thankful but I will not be bossed around, especially by him! Who does he think he is , my father?
I quickly change out of my outfit and back to my regular uniform once I’m showered and clean. With that I grab my bag and belongings and walk out the changing room, that is until I see what looks like a fight about to happen.
“ Keep your eyes and comments to yourself.” Shouma is holding one of our male classmates against a wall. I can only imagine why this is happening.
“ Shouma that’s enough, let's go.” I grab his other hand that was free and pull him away from the poor boy. The thing about Shouma, he’s well behaved for the most part, but there are times where he’s a ticking time bomb.
“ This is why I tell you to cover up your tattoos, if you don’t want people looking Listen to me.”
“ and the next time I tell you to keep the jacket ,listen to me. There won’t be a next time actually, next time you’re wearing my jogging pants.” He fights back with an attitude in his tone.
“ Like hell I am, they are too big on me.”
“ i don’t care.”
“ I’m not going to wear them, focus on covering your tattoos and stop focusing on me.” I bite back with the same attitude.
“ and rather they focus on my tattoos and not on your whole legs!”
“ Hey, what’s going on guys? You guys can be heard miles away.” Yashino walks up to where I and Shouma are standing .
“ He’s blaming me that my shorts are too short. That’s what he’s complaining about Yashino .”
“ Excuse me ? Shouma do you think we want to be this tall where nothing fits!” Yoshino jumps into the argument.
“ I’m not blaming anyone, both you and Y/N need to just wear pants instead during physical education.” Shouma closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
“ you don’t tell us what to do!” Both Yoshino and I yell in unison.
“ you know what… I don’t give a fuck , lets just go home for fuck sakes.” Shouma pushed through, leading the way back to both him and Yoshino’s place.

It's you?!
A/N: Craving more 42!Miles screen time. Better yet, I want him to have an entire goddamn film.
Another post from the private vault! hope y'all like this one as much as I did! (。・・。)
Love,
Mint
Summary: 42!Miles and his weird ass obsession on finding out Spiderwoman!reader's real identity (and vice versa, but less obsessive LMAO she just curious)
Tags: 42!Miles x Spiderwoman!reader, some cussing, choking (not that kind) enemies -> friends
Word count: 2.3k
The Prowler had a sick grin behind his mask as he stared at the woman standing a few feet away from him. It was almost laughable to him how she could stand for all the heroic shit, even her suit looked downright ridiculous. “You’re a brave one to try to stop me, I’ll give you that.” He laughed with his voice slightly distorted from the voice changer. “But I hate to break it to you ma, I’m going to remind you where you belong, to make you remember your fucking place.”
Though deep down he knew that he always looked forward to their fights and banters. Sure, he’s handled a bunch of big enemies and may have been beaten to a pulp once or twice, but nothing makes him feel more alive than fighting the one and only Spiderwoman. Little does he know that he’s slowly garnering some sort of obsession over finding out who she was.
He was itching to know what kind of person this woman was who had the actual capabilities of making him excited and thrilled over fighting, something he grew to hate.
"Yeah, I will. Since my place will always be above you." Y/n replied coolly behind her mask. As Spiderwoman, she is obligated to eradicate all evils in Brooklyn, but this Prowler dude always made it interesting for her. And today was just like their usual encounters.
Sometimes, she admits that she wants to know who he was beneath all that tacky suit. Like why does he look like fucking Dracula?
I hate that fucking mask. Miles thought as he scowls down at the hero. All he wanted was to rip the mask off of her head and finally see her face. He couldn't exactly understand his undying obsession with finding out. Like, why her of all heroes?
He growled in frustration with himself, clawed out his hand, and lunged at Y/n, ready to rip her apart. In response to this however, Y/n was quick enough to instantly shoot a web by a nearby building on their right, flinging herself towards it to dodge him. "Is that the best you got pretty boy?" She called out.
"Pretty boy?" Miles raised an eyebrow behind his mask. He snarled, jumping off the ground to thrust towards her once more, this time using full force to try to pin her against the wall. He does this successfully, picking Y/n up by her throat. "Who are you?" Miles hissed, his claws retracting before digging his metal-covered fingers into her neck more. "Tell me, damn it."
Y/n kept her body calm and tried to maintain proper breathing despite being choked by him. "Spiderwoman, who else would I be?" She choked, her mind trying to find the best way possible to escape from his deadly grasp.
"That's not what I meant," Miles glared, squeezing even tighter than before. His golden brown eyes slowly became wild in anger, almost as if something's taken over him.
"Answer me properly, pretty girl," He seethed, his mask glitching slightly. Though he called her "pretty girl", he did so in such a mocking tone.
Miles dropped her to the ground but doesn't waste a second before pinning her against the wall with his arm over her head. With his height, he just easily towers over her.
The sight egged him on, the feeling of having Spider-Woman beneath him like this was exhilarating.
"Who. Are. You."
"Someone who's... about to kick your goddamn ass." She murmured before her leg flew up to his arm, and with every force she could muster she kicked it down, making him lose balance.
She shoots another web to the building on the opposite side, keeping a fair distance from the Prowler. "Why do you want to know me so badly?" She called out to him.
"Because I want to know my enemy,” Miles yelled back, letting out a low growl as he rose to his feet and sped across to her once more. He lands back close to her, glaring at her with a slightly amused look. It's just a game to him after all. A game of cat and mouse and he was definitely not the mouse.
"I'll stop at nothing until I found out who you are," He gritted through his teeth. "You won't get away that easily ma."
Y/n only snorted at his words. "Oh yeah? I think I do a pretty great job at doing that pretty boy." She smirked behind her mask before instantly swinging away, leaving him.
But of course, Miles wasn't backing down, quickly chasing after her. "Who the fuck are you?!" He yelled loudly, but she doesn't answer. They both played chase across multiple buildings. Miles was determined not to lose her this time though, picking up his speed until he was practically at the same speed as her.
This must be his new world record, Uncle Aaron would be damn proud.
"I won't stop chasing you until I know." Y/n rolled her eyes at how persistent he was being. Miles wants to know who this hero was, and why she drove him insane with obsession, or how she got him looking forward to fighting her.
"Well for starters, why the hell are you so obsessed with me? Honestly, don't you have better things to do?!" She called out as she continuously swung between buildings by her webs. Least to say though, Y/n was impressed that the Prowler could catch up at all. But then again, when has he ever failed to impress her?
"It's not an obsession," Miles denied, following close behind her. Even Y/n knew that wasn't the truth.
Miles is a villain. He kills. He maims. He hurts whomever he wants. But with her? Something just felt different. She's special, nothing like the rest of them. She has something he can't quite explain. Some sort of magnet that keeps him wanting to see her often? To fight her more than he does with the usual people he dealt with?
"Why do you keep running away ma?" He asked nonchalantly, but Miles knew he was just trying to keep her under his grasp for a bit longer. "You can fight. Why run?"
Y/n rolled her eyes playfully. "Then let's fight pretty boy." She swung back around towards him, landing her foot on his torso, kicking him hard across the concrete before landing flawlessly on the ground.
Miles grunts loudly and stumbles back, hitting a beaten-up car behind him. He looks up at her, glaring. "That's more like it ma," He leered, the sun creating shadows on his face, making him look even more intimidating.
He grunted as he stood up, getting close to her once again until he was merely inches away from her face. "You must tell me. You can't keep it from me." Miles grunted. His eyes were wild and insane as if he's lost control of... whatever he was feeling towards this Spiderwoman.
"If I told you who I was, that defeats the entire anonymous persona thing I've got going." Y/n chuckled, placing a hand on her hip. Though she admits, she was also quite eager to know who Prowler was. Oh hell no, just curious.
"Tell me already!" Miles almost yelled, balling his hands into fists. He's getting angrier by the minute. At who exactly? He wasn't sure. Maybe he was mad at her because she was being stubborn, or mad at his behavior and the way he was acting right now.
But Miles doesn't care. He only cares about the fact that he's not getting the information he wants.
He just wants to know who she was so badly so he could finally get over this achingly overwhelming curiosity.
"Tell me," Miles glowered once more, his voice dark and raspy. "I won't ask again."
"You're asking me to tell my arch nemesis who I am behind this mask. You do realize how insane you sound right?" Y/n snickered. But suddenly, she was stricken with an idea. She quickly looked around, making sure no one was around them in the abandoned part of Brooklyn.
For once, she wanted to indulge in her curiosities as Spiderwoman. She grinned at him, even though he couldn't see it. "If you show me who you are, I'll show you who I am. Seems only fair right?"
"Fine," Miles grunted, uncurling his fists. He was a bit surprised at how easy it was for him to agree, despite knowing full well he shouldn't show who he was much less to the person who's been hunting him down for months.
"Show me first. Then I'll let you know who I am." His jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed as he meets her stare. "After all, it is only fair ma."
Y/n laughed, nodding in agreement. "Fine, if we're playing fair, then we should just do it together at the same time."
Prowler let out a harsh breath and nodded.
"On the count of three,” Y/n said, her finger gripping the edge of her mask.
"1..."
"2..."
"3...!"
As Y/n pulled out her mask, the Prowler does the same, his Prowler mask moving back to reveal himself as Miles Morales.
Y/n's hair fell down, her e/c eyes striking with excitement as she stared back into his. Her lips instantly curved into a smile as she sees an all-too-familiar face before her. "You're that student from school!"
Miles blinked. "What—" He stopped himself mid-sentence as it finally hits him. It's her. It's always been her.
His eyes flash with shock, pupils widening to the point where his eyes almost appeared black. The woman that he's been obsessing over, was Y/n. Y/n L/n.
Miles would see her often in class and everywhere else on campus. He has never spoken a word to her, but she slightly grabbed his attention because she was the complete opposite of him. That and because she was obnoxiously loud.
He simply knew her as that friendly, too-nice, pure girl. Definitely did not assume that she'd be Spider-Woman.
"You're that quiet dude from physics and math class!" Y/n gushed even further. "I wasn't expecting it to be you but, that makes so much sense with your mysterious aura and vibe, holy shit."
Y/n was internally screaming inside because she did notice Miles Morales from her school. She thought he was crazy attractive with the stoic and cold demeanor he had going on, especially those goddamn braids of his.
And now here she was, finding out that he was in fact, the Prowler whom she's been fighting for months on end.
"Y/n..." Miles breathed out. As he processed the woman before him, he started to think about how she was beautiful, far more than he could've ever imagined. He barely looks at her at school, but now he's finally got a good look.
Her smile sent unexpected fluttering to his heart and it was difficult for him to look away. He had to snap himself out of it. Y/n isn't just Y/n. She's Spider-Woman. Who knows of his identity.
Miles licked his lips forgetting all of that in a second. His eyes were still wild but now supported by a little glint. A spark perhaps. Somehow, seeing Y/n and realizing she's Spider-Woman made him feel weird. Good weird. But weird.
"Well, what do you think? Overwhelmed? Underwhelmed? Rate the experience from 1 to 10, be honest." Y/n smirked, her eyebrows raised and arms crossed over her Spider-Woman suit.
"You fucking weirdo,” Miles smirked.
"Would you look at that, the infamous Miles Morales actually knows how to smile,” Y/n replied, clearly amused.
She was definitely not screaming inside.
"What can I say ma?" He replied with a smirk, "You bring out the best in me." He found himself teasing her. How interesting.
Y/n playfully rolled her eyes at him. "Ha ha, I wasn't expecting the Prowler to be this cheesy either."
"I wasn't expecting Spider-Woman to be this beautiful either, so I guess we're both in quite a predicament,” Miles said with a slightly flirty tone. The situation was becoming less tense and more playful between them.
It was as if Miles had become a different person, being less like the ruthless villain Prowler, and more like himself as Miles Morales. It's a refreshing feeling to him.
"Well thank you, does that mean you've always noticed me from school?" Y/n smiled, placing her hands on her back, and swayed side to side like a child.
"I noticed you alright.” He chuckled. Miles was still in disbelief with himself since he never showed such emotion to anyone. Ever. But here he was laying himself out to this girl who he barely even knows.
"I thought about talking to you. Usually to tell you to shut up cause you're always so damn loud." He told her. "But then I got too much shit on my mind. You know what it's like as the Prowler."
Y/n simply nodded, "That's fair. I myself am pretty busy cause well... I am Spiderwoman, constantly thinking of how to save the city." She winked.
"You're busy as Spider-Woman," Miles repeated. "And I'm busy as the Prowler." He grinned at her. "We have that in common, don't we?"
"Except for the fact that we are destined to be enemies." Y/n grinned, shaking her head in disbelief. "But you know, maybe we can be friends."
Her? Being friends with him? What is she even saying... as if he'd actually agree—
Miles cocked an eyebrow. "Friends huh? Maybe we should try it sometime." He grinned, but he stopped himself, almost as if what he said wasn't meant to be said at all. He cleared his throat, "Well, we aren't enemies right now, are we?"
Y/n contemplated for a while, "Hmm... Maybe enemies as Spider-Woman and the Prowler, but we can be friends as Y/n and Miles." She winked, holding out her hand for him to shake.
Without a second thought, Miles grabbed her hand and shook it firmly. "Deal." He replied with a smirk. "Friends." And he's serious about it too. All they both thought of at the moment was,
Damn, this is going to be one interesting pair.
Fin.

I'm not great with requests but I'll try. Can you write about Silver, Riddle, Floyd and Malleus recieving something from the reader (gn or f) like a hairtie or some cheap keychain they got and how they'd react to it. Thank you 💕
FALSKFSAFFSAF, I would have been giggling and kicking my feet. And you did great for your request btw!
Note: They might be ooc and I do apologize for that. And since you didn't specify if you wanted it to be a headcanon or oneshot, I decided to just do a headcanon, hope you don't mind! And I'll just do a gn reader!
•At first, Silver's reaction was confused but then accepted the gift from you and appreciated it.
•And Silver appreciates the gifts you give him, it could be a hair tie (He uses it when training and even then he still uses it outside of training), a keychain, anything really as long as it came from you!
•If you gave Silver the keychain, you bet your ass that he'll use it everywhere and anywhere wherever he is and goes, you cannot change my mind! Silver is so precious I can't
•Silver appreciates the little gifts you give him even if it isn't much! Silver isn't picky when it comes to gifts so whatever you're giving him, he doesn't mind!
•Unless if it's from Lilia's cooking then...
•And Silver wears the hair tie while he is asleep and holds the keychain in his palm and clutches it whenever he sleeps!!! (FASLJKNSALNF I CAN'T, SILVER IS SO CUTE!!!)
•I am having way too much fun writing all of this, it's just too cute of an idea!!
•And Silver will also give you something in return! And he is also protecting the little gifts you gave him! Still cannot change my mind!
•Btw Lilia teases Silver but is proud and happy for Silver.
•Overall, Silver just appreciates the gifts you gave him! Whether it's small or not a gift is a gift and you appreciate it!
•Flustered, one word is the poor boy is flustered since it was a gift from you and he appreciates any gifts from you!
•Although yes, what you give him is something small, it is still a gift from you and he will forever treasure it!!
•Be it, a hair tie or a keychain anything as long as it came from you! And Riddle may or may not wear the hair tie on his wrist and the keychain might be dangling somewhere...
•Ace teases him for it and for that, it's off with his head. (As per usual no surprises there)
•And everyone will see the little accessories that he wore and he wears it with pride.
•AND IF THE HAIR TIE ISN'T ON HIS WRIST THEN HE IS WEARING IT ON HIS HAIR!!! Omg small ponytail Riddle.
•Btw Riddle also gets you something similar and is almost shy when he sees you wearing what he gave you.
•Riddle also keeps them in a small treasure box if he isn't using them!
•Ace may or may not try to snatch the hair tie and keychain just to mess around with Riddle.
•Overall, Riddle is flustered but he also wears it with pride!! And plus he really loves them!!
•Giggling and kicking his feet and also crushing you!!
•He can't help it, you're just sooo cute!! And the little gifts you gave him are just perfect!
•Floyd appreciates them, he really does and he wears them with no problem. Wherever he goes you'll always see him wearing the hair tie or having a cute little keychain with him.
•And I think Floyd also has a keychain that matches with Jade!! So he wears both of them and both of them are near each other!
•Whenever he sees you, he just can't help but hug squeeze and you'll see him wearing the gifts that you gave him!
•And Floyd is protective of them, if someone tries to even touch it, he will growl and will not hesitate to throw hands if it meant to protect them.
•And Whenever Floyd works, he always has the hair tie, and Azul and Jade just goes along with it.
•Floyd also treats them very delicately almost as if they were fragile like glass that breaks when you touch it.
•Don't worry, Floyd also gets you something and now both of you are now matching!!
•Overall Floyd is just really happy and giddy about it.
•He was so happy that he almost burnt the gifts.
•We all know Malleus likes to hoard things, since it is in his nature and because it's a gift from you!
•He doesn't care if it is small he will cherish it for all eternity!
•And Lilia also teases him for it while Malleus does not even care in the slightest and just looks at the hair tie and keychain with lovey dovey eyes.
•Malleus loves loves you and the gifts you gave him and he will certainly repay you by giving you gifts as well! (A lot more than what you gave him that's for sure)
•And Malleus also wears the hair tie and you'll see him wear the hair tie really proud and doesn't care for other people's opinion. Not like it matters-
•You'll also see our little dragon boy that he is a lot happier and is wearing a smile on his face a lot more than usual... And is that a keychain dangling??
•Btw the next you open your door you'll suddenly see a bunch of gold piles, at least it's enough for you to finally renovate.
•Malleus's most prized possession and he is wearing them proudly.
•So overall, a very very happy and giddy dragon!
YAY! I FINISHED! And so sorry if I took awhile to do this! But I am finally finish and I really hope you enjoyed this!

Hey Ash, big ass fan here!
Can I request the first time Mr. and Mrs. Jeong found out they were going to be parents?!?
I love your work. <3
Expect the Unexpected jeong.j
GENRE: fluff
WARNINGS: pregnancy!
wife: babe
wife: i’m not feeling well :(.
you: what’s wrong, baby?
jaehyun quickly responds.
wife: i’ve been throwing up all day
wife: i feel very weak
wife: i don’t think i’ll be able to cook tonight
you: so no homemade spaghetti?
wife: not tonight, sorry
wife: could you maybe pick up some take out on your way home?
you: i can do that
wife: thanks, i love you
you: i love you more
“honey, i’m home! and, i have food!” jaehyun hears footfalls as he shuts the door and kicks off his shoes.
“food?” you’re in a paper sheet face mask with a face roller in your hand. “yep, let me wash up and we can eat together.”
you nod and walk over to him, taking the bag of food and then his brief bag.
“oh, baby. you don’t have to carry my stuff.” jaehyun makes an attempt by trying to take his bag but you shy away. “it’s okay.”
you make your way to the kitchen and you set his bag on the dinner table.
“hurry and wash up! i’m starving.” jaehyun chuckles and pulls off his blazer, tossing it off onto the couch and walking over to you.
“you can eat first.” you shake your head, grabbing two plates and utensils.
jaehyun washes his hands and then walks back to you. “okay! it’s dinner time— oh, no.” you cover your nose as your mouth starts to fill up with a crazy amount of saliva.
“what’s wrong?” jaehyun asks you as you turn around with pinched eyebrows and drooly lips. he follows you to the living room and fans you with his hands while you gag silently.
“the smell, oh god.” you scrunch your face and shake your head. “but, you love chow mein.”
“i do but, it smells more oily than usual. i feel sick, again.” you frown.
jaehyun bites his lip and places his hands on both your cheeks. “want me to.. make you something?” you shake your head. “i think i’ll just eat noodles tonight.”
“are you sure?”
you nod. “positive.”
you rest your head on jaehyuns shoulder while he laughs his ass off with his friends.
“we seriously need to plan another boys camp out.” jungwoo says.
“i agree.” taeyong says holding up his can of beer.
the girls were inside the house, drinking and karaoking while you stayed outside with jaehyun in his dark grey hoodie.
you were fine all day until around six is when your mood began to change.
you were feeling sick and dizzy. the smell of alcohol burned your nose and made your gag repeatedly. the medium rare stake had you gagging and pale.
you sigh and turn your head away from the live bonfire. “you okay, baby? feelin’ any better?” you shake your head with a slight whine.
“i still feel like throwing up.” jaehyun clicks his tongue and frowns. “wanna go home?”
“i don’t want to be a burden and pull you away from your friends and the fun.” jaehyun shakes his head. “nonsense, baby. they’ll understand. you aren’t feeling well and they know.”
you bite your lip and look up into his eyes. “okay, let’s go home.” jaehyun grins and kisses you before turning back to his friends.
“uh, me and y/n are gonna head out. she’s still not feeling well.” jaehyun stands and helps you up.
“yeah, don’t worry. we understand.” yuta says and the others quickly agree.
“get home safe, guys.” they say as you and jaehyun walk to the car. “you guys, too!” jaehyun shouts and helps you into the passenger side.
“no, mom. i just feel sick, that’s all.”
“are you sure you aren’t pregnant?!” your mom screams over the phone.
you chuckle and shake your head. “no, mom. i just have a little cold. or fever, who knows.”
“i do and you’re pregnant!” you pull the phone away from your ear and you make a face when hearing your mother scream.
you bring the phone back to your ear with a sigh. “mom, there’s no reason to shout. we’re on the phone.”
“honey, i know you’re pregnant. i can feel it. i can sense it. it’s a mother sense, you’ll know soon.”
you sigh and shake your head. “mom, you’re crazy. im on the pill. plus, me and jaehyun always use a condom.”
“why? you guys are married! what’s the need of a condom?”
“me and jaehyun aren’t.. really ready for kids yet. i mean, mom, we just got married.”
your mother scoffs. “i may not remember how long ago you got married but you and jaehyun did not just get married.”
“whatever mom, i love you but we’re not like you and dad who decided to have a baby right after their marriage.”
your mother laughs. “condoms don’t always work, you idiot. get a pregnancy test and just see if it’s positive or negative. you never know, honey.”
“but—“
“no buts. call me when the results are in! love youuu!” she sings with smooches.
“love you too, mom.” she hangs up and you bite your lip.
you pull your phone from your ear and you toss your phone on the pillow next to you.
the next minute you’re out the door with your keys, phone and wallet, heading to the nearest store that sold pregnancy tests.
“hey, i’m home, honey.” jaehyun says, shutting the door and kicking off his shoes.
“hey, baby. welcome home.” you walk up to him and you hug him tightly.
you pull away and bite your lip. “wanna help me fold laundry?” jaehyun nods and slips off his brief bag.
jaehyun follows you to the bedroom and sits on the bed with you, helping you fold laundry and talking about his day at work.
“—tax returns, then— oh.” he holds up the tiny sage green onesie and tilts his head. “did you accidentally mix our laundry with mrs white upstairs?”
you suck in a breath and you exhale slowly. “what’s wrong, baby?” jaehyun looks at you and lowers the tiny outfit. “what’s wrong— why’re you crying?”
“i’m sorry,” you cover your face and shake your head. “that’s for us.” you point to the onesie and you wipe under your eyes.
“for us— what do you mean?” jaehyun wipes your jaw as tears drip down them.
“i mean, im pregnant.” jaehyun stills. “pregnant?” you nod. “like, with my baby?” you laugh and nod. “who else’s baby would it be?” jaehyun scoffs a laugh. “i—i don’t know?!”
“oh, my god.” jaehyun stands. “i’m gonna be a dad.” he says quietly. “i’m gonna be a dad!” he says more loudly and begins jumping around.
you laugh at his reaction. “we’re gonna be parents, baby.” jaehyun says reaching down and cupping your face.
“god, i love you. i love you so much, baby.” jaehyun says in between each smooch. “we’re gonna be the best fucking parents ever! best fucking parents, baby.”
your cheeks will hate you after this moment but it is so worth it.

Out of Practice
Relationship(s): Bodhi Durran & Riorson!reader
Summary: When assessment day doesn't go as well for you as hoped, your older cousin Bodhi demands an explanation from you.
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, injury, swearing
Assessment is a disaster for you. When the fight starts, you think you're doing pretty well — at least for someone who hasn't had any sparring practice in years. Unfortunately, that illusion only lasts for about ten seconds.
You manage to land a couple of punches, but your opponent — half a head taller and at least twice as wide as you — hardly seems to feel them. The hits he lands on you, on the other hand — ouch. You narrowly dodge a punch that would have surely broken your nose, but while you're focused on that, he kicks out your legs from under you.
Seconds later, he has you in a chokehold and is telling you to yield as you uselessly tug on his arm. You're close to passing out. But you can't give in. You have to prove yourself. In a last effort, you get a hold of two of his fingers and twist them until you hear a satisfying crunching sound. He yelps and lets go, but before you can get your hopes up, let alone attack him, he grabs the back of your neck and slams your head against the mat. Once, twice, again and again, until you lose count and everything goes black.
You wake up in the Healers Quadrant with the worst headache of your life and a grim looking Bodhi sitting by your bedside.
"What the fuck was that?" he wants to know as soon as he notices you're awake, anger barely concealing the edge of panic in his voice. "You're lucky that guy didn't kill you!"
For a moment, you have no idea what your cousin is talking about. You're not even sure where you are. But sitting up, you see the black uniform you're wearing, and the memory returns. Assessment. Your first day in the quadrant. And you already got your ass kicked.
"I tried my best," you mutter, rubbing your aching head.
"Your best?" Bodhi sounds sceptical, and you can't blame him. Before the apostasy, you had often sparred with the boys and been a good fighter for your age. "You're seriously telling me that was the best you can do?"
You nod, eyes fixated on your hands so you don't have to see the disappointment on his face.
Embarrassing. It's fucking embarrassing. You'd wanted to become a rider since you were a little child, and now that you're actually a cadet, you immediately fuck it up. And everyone saw. As if people didn't already hate you enough for the rebellion relic on your arm, now they'll also be after you because they think you're weak.
"Didn't you prepare for the quadrant?"
"When they realized Xaden wasn't gonna die in here, they stopped training me. And they only gave me the bare minimum of training even before that." You shrug. "They wanted my chances of survival to be as low as possible."
"Damn those assholes," Bodhi curses, rubbing his face. "But why the fuck didn't you tell me that right away?"
"I don't know... I guess I thought I'd manage somehow. 'm sorry, Bodhi. I know that was stupid." The truth, or at least part of it, is that you simply underestimated how much of a problem your lack of training would be. You hadn't wanted to admit that you need help, hadn't wanted to seem weak. "But it's not like you could have done anything about it."
"I could have told Professor Emetterio," Bodhi says. "He's always fair. If he knew you didn't get any training, he wouldn't have picked such a strong opponent for you. He probably thought you're a good fighter because Xaden is."
You shrug. Maybe things would have gone differently with an other opponent, but somehow you doubt it. Fact is, you're completely out of practice. And after this spectacular failure, the advantage of people being intimidated of you because they think you're as strong as your brother is gone.
"I survived it, didn't I?"
Bodhi sighs. "Yeah. Thank the gods, you did. And I'll train with you so you'll do better next time."
"Do you even have time for that?"
You know he's got to be busy — secret revolution stuff on top of third-year classes and section leader duties can't leave him with much free time to waste on you.
But he just smiles. "I'll manage."
"But—"
"No 'but'. I'm going to make sure you don't get yourself killed. Everything else isn't important."
You have to swallow a lump in your throat when you realize he's serious about making you his number one priority. It's been so long since you've been around people who care about you, you almost forgot what it's like.
"Thanks, Bodhi."
"Of course," he says and ruffles your hair, before changing the topic. "How's your head feeling?"
"Could be worse." It could also definitely be better, but there's no use whining about it. "Was I out for long?"
"Just long enough to miss the rest of assessment," Bodhi says with a shake his head.
As if on cue, one of the healers steps up to you. With how full the infirmary is, it's no wonder no one noticed you're awake until now. You take comfort in the thought that at least you're not the only one off to a bad start. After making sure you don't have a concussion, the healer says you can go back with Bodhi, but warns you to take it easy for a day or two. Which you won't, of course.
"So, when do we start training?" you ask as you walk back into the Riders Quadrant.
"Tomorrow. You heard the healer. You should rest today."
"Oh, come on! I feel fine. Seriously, Bodhi, I've had migraines worse than this!"
"Don't try to argue with me, first-year. Besides, isn't getting your ass kicked once in one day enough for you?"
"Hey, hold on. You wanted to train me, not kick my ass!"
Bodhi grins. "Unfortunately for you, training you will most definitely involve kicking your ass."
"Oh, great. I knew you had ulterior motives."
"We're going to have so much fun," he says, playfully bumping your shoulder. "Just like the good old times."
"I'm starting to think you and me have very different memories of the good old times."
"What, you don't remember how we used to spar as kids?"
"Of course I do. But I also very clearly remember you, Xaden and Garrick making a deal to let me win at least one out of three times."
"You weren't supposed to know about that," Bodhi complains, as if it still matters after all these years.
"You guys weren't exactly subtle."
"Well, if it'll make you feel better we can keep that rule."
"No! I'm not a fucking kid anymore! If I ever win a fight against you I want it to be for real, not because you let me."
"Alright, suit yourself. I'll start with the kicking your ass tomorrow, then."

https://www.tumblr.com/thebreakfastgenie/766051466520690688/thats-exactly-what-im-hoping-for-too-im-voting
I think a deep flaw in the online left is that they're basically comparing the current far left with a far right wing that's made every effort to entrench themselves for decades by comparison.
They keep mentally thinking that both sides are equal in power, and thus the thing that will clearly help them succeed is the moral purity of their cause.
Except that's not the case at all. Because the reality is that the far right has done far more work to make their hate normalized than the far left has ever done for their beliefs and entrench themselves into actual positions of power, both due to a combination of cruelty being easier, and simply doing far more work by comparison.
The far right has spent years sticking their ilk amongst the populace, from the highest ranking positions to the lowliest high ranking positions possible in order to indoctrinate as many people as possible to their cause.
The far left by contrast has done diddly squat. They're the arrogant punk kid who waltzes in expecting to kick ass and take names and be lauded and praised for it simply because of who they are, while ignoring that either everyone is a neutral bystander who doesn't like grandstanders with more bark than bite, or an ally of the guy they're coming in to sock the face of.
And that's bitten them in the ass time and time again, because while the big evil guy is unpopular, he's also entrenched and just needs to win once to smack the upstart down.
But unlike actual main characters, the far left is so convinced of their righteous superiority that rather than wising up and building a real base of power and catching the far right off guard for a knockout blow, they just keep on throwing themselves over and over again with the same idea expecting different results.
Yeah... I think there's a combination of not understanding how asymmetrical it is and an attitude of "it's not fair!" Like, no it's not, so it goes though. We've watched the far right become so deeply entrenched they've taken over the mainstream conservative party. The right played the long game on the courts and the left was complacent about that for way too long. It's also a huge thing in local elections. The right has paid way more attention to school boards and other positions like sheriff that are elected in many places, even up to state legislatures. Far right candidates winning these elections really helped entrench the far right in addition to the material effects they've had on people's lives.
I think part of the problem is just that electorate is a lot more conservative than the left is willing to admit. There isn't a hidden groundswell of support for the far left. You have to do the work the hard way and a lot of leftists aren't willing to. You know that Contrapoints quote about wanting to "endlessly critique power?" She was right on with that. I think there are elements within the left that romanticize the perpetual struggle. One might say
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl And he's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
On the other hand, a lot of voters like the far right and want them to win. They may not like them for rational policy reasons, because a lot of voters don't vote for those reasons (I know, it's maddening, but so it goes) but they like them.
One of the reasons I tend to align myself with liberals rather than leftists is liberals get stuff done. I've seen tangible progress from liberals within my lifetime. There are so many structural advantages favoring the right that it's a huge fight to keep them out of power. We can turn the tide but we have to do the work.
I don't know how much sense I made I'm a little groggy.
