#i love tas little known fact

[talk-nerdy-to-me-thyla]

ok so im obsessed now, and ive learned a little bit more about the Roddenberry Archive, the project responsible for Star Trek Unification.

This goes a LOT further than just the one short film. Rod Roddenbery is heading "a multi-decade collaboration to preserve Gene Roddenberry’s lifetime of work for future generations to experience in next generation media formats."

Basically they're digging deep into concept work for star trek phase II, Star Trek: Planet of the Titans, the motion picture novelization, and the Cage. Mostly with a goal an preservation and recreation? its a lot of meticulous 3d models and renders. They want to make physical sets for everything. They're really heavily into the cage pilot, which is why THIS girl with the pony tail keeps showing up. her name is J.M. Colt

they are apparently developing a Roddenberry Archive Interactive Exhibit (WHICH I GOTTA ATTEND SO BAD) based off the Cage. theyre implementing "new holographic mediums for future generations to experience Gene Roddenberry’s legacy with the highest levels of immersion and historical fidelity." which sounds BANANAS. It's a fully immersive, interactive 360-degree experience where you can just WALK around the cage enterprise. You can use the turbolift to go to different levels, flip through Spock’s presentation of Talos IV in the briefing room, go through all of pikes stuff in his room. AND YOU LEAVE. BY BEAMING OUT.

I WANA GO SO BAD

Also bonus:

They got a little Animated series Arex!! Look at him!!! My boy!!

feel free to correct me if im wrong or add stuff! All of what i know is from like 2022 lol

I found myself having, not exactly an argument recently, but a highly opinionated conversation with someone who did not believe my assertion that once upon a time there were official Hello Kitty vibrators. With the aid of the Wayback Machine, I found this article, and thought the world at large might enjoy it too...

Here's the text of the article:

The history of the Hello Kitty vibrator

By Peter Payne October 4, 2004

Sanrio is one of the top character licensors in the world, having more or less created the business model of doing business by creating something that doesn't really exist and licensing its use to other companies. Sanrio produces nothing -- all their characters, like the Little Twin Star, Minna no Ta-bo, Bad Batz-Maru, exist as legal entities and nothing more. Their most successful character, Hello Kitty, or Kitty-chan as she's known in Japan, is now now thirty years old.

One of the many companies that license Sanrio's characters for their products was a Japanese company called Genyo Co. Ltd. Genyo made a wide variety of products, from bento boxes to children's toys to chopsticks, many with the Hello Kitty character on them. They scored big in the late 1990's with an off-the-wall hit, a series of Hello Kitty toys which featured a different Kitty figure from each of Japan's 47 prefectures, each representing something the prefecture was famous for. (The figure from Gunma Prefecture, where we live, represented a wooden kokeshi doll.)

In 1997, Genyo designed a product that would live in infamy: the Hello Kitty vibrating shoulder massager, which really is a shoulder massager (trust us -- it says so on the package). Sanrio approved this design without batting an eye, and the product enjoyed modest sales in toy shops and in family restaurants like Denny's and Coco's. It wasn't until 1999 or so that people began to catch on to the fact that the Hello Kitty massager had other potential uses, and with amazing speed, they started popping up in adult videos in Japan. The next thing anyone knew, they had changed into a cult adult item, sold in vending machines in love hotels -- after all, what self-respecting man wouldn't buy his girl a Hello Kitty vibrator when she asked him for one?

The emergence of the Hello Kitty vibrator as a cult adult item caused friction between Sanrio and Genyo, and Sanrio ordered the company to stop making the units. Genyo refused, since it had paid a lot of money to license Kitty for their products. There seemed nothing Sanrio could do, since they had approved the item for sale (see the official Sanrio sticker on the boxes). The answer came when the Japanese tax authorities raided Genyo on suspicion of tax evasion. It seems that some creative accounting was going on between the president of the company, a Mr. Nakamura, his vice president, and the owner of the factory in China where the units were made. All three were arrested, and Sanrio had the excuse needed to yank Genyo's license. They seized the molds used to make the vibrators and destroyed them.

And so, the sad, weird chapter of the Hello Kitty vibrator is at an end. The last of the Kitty vibes are gone, so now what will the world do for wacky comic -- and sexual -- relief?

★ last chance; long live the inbox graveyard! —i pick a long forgotten request in my inbox and write a short blurb or musings

hot tub time machine lando norris x you —no warnings, just fluff "could we get a number 14 (pool/hot tub sex) with lando pleaseeee? so excited that you’re writing again!!" —requested by anon on october 8th, 2024

“happy birthday, sweetheart...”

“i really needed this," he sighed, "knowing i would be home with you for this was the only thing getting me through the last few of weeks.”

lando could feel every single ache and pain wash away as he slid into the hot tub, stomach full of the gorgeous italian spread you’d ordered for dinner. his favourite. he swore you were an angel sent to earth, everything you did for him was heavenly, he could never find the words to tell you how much he loved you.

“you look so happy lan,” you smiled, dropping the kimono you’d worn during dinner as lando’s eyes cast across your body, luring you into the tub.

“i’m very happy - especially when i get to enjoy all of this… c’mere pretty girl.”

a soft giggle slipped from your lips as you grasped his hand, "let me get a bottle of red wine for us to share and i'll join you — do you wanna open the one daniel gave you?"

"ooo, are we entering that portion of the night?" lando asked suggestively as you stood up, shooting him quizzical look.

"what do you mean?" you asked earning a loud laugh from the tub, water splashing a little as lando pulled himself up to the edge, smiling over at you with a look you knew all too well.

"as soon as you start on the red wine, you get so frisky," he stated as if it was a well-known fact, one that you certainly weren't aware of.

"i do not!" you staunchly defended, earning another loud scoff.

"oh, wow," lando laughed, "yes, you do baby and i'm not complaining so crack her open..." he teased as you carefully stepped into the tub, with lando's help of course, eyes still narrowed in annoyance.

"okay so maybe wine makes me a little more amorous than usual but i think i'm just like that when i drink, no?" you pouted, earning yourself a pity kiss from the birthday boy.

"red wine makes you horny and that's okay," he teased again with a cheeky smirk on his face as you handed him the stemmed glass, "ta."

"we'll see then, won't we," you tutted, pouring two glasses of wine while lando chuckled to himself.

"i already know what's gonna happen but sure," he baited with a wink as he slowly dunked his head under the water and emerged with a shake of his wild curls, sending water flying across the room and all over you.

"you are so sure of yourself tonight."

lando's eyes skimmed across your body briefly while you claw-clipped your hair up, not wanting the hassle of having to dry it before going to bed. secretly you knew where the night was headed, red wine or not— it was his birthday after all, but you weren't about to admit that to the man hypnotised by your every move, jaw slack from the glorious view of your cleavage.

lando was a simple man.

"well, i am the birthday boy after all so i reserve the right to be cocky once a year, yeah?" he taunted from the other side of the tub.

"yeah, only once a year..." you rolled your eyes humorously.

the distance between the two of you seemed too far for lando, so he sculled the rest of his drink and carefully placed the glass on the floor before giving you a mischievous smile.

"steady on, party boy," you chuckled as he leaned forward and snaked an arm around your waist, pulling you into his warm hold.

"i just want to focus all of my attention on you," he whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear that had fallen out of your clip, his emerald irises darted over your face, finally resting on yours.

"i missed you a lot, you know."

you took that as an invitation to straddle his lap and rest your elbows over his shoulders, wine glass dangling from your fingers. lando smoothed his hands down your back and and pressed fiery kisses across your chest. his lips travelled back up your neck, along your jaw before finding your soft lips in a slow, passionate kiss. you moved in sync with him, bringing one of your hands up to trawl through his wet, tangled curls. the chlorine always got the best of them.

lando hummed quietly into the kiss before pulling back slightly, "this is the best birthday i've ever had... and i couldn't be more in love with you," he confessed as you took the chance to admire the sweet boy you'd chosen to share your life with.

you grasped his face gently between your hands and pressed another soft kiss to his lips, making sure he knew just how much you loved him, no matter what life threw your way.

"i love you too, darling... happy birthday."

a/n — the first of the end of (f1) season sale!! this hot tub request actually wasn't forgotten, just half-baked so thank you anon for sparking up the inspiration to finally finish it! hope you enjoyed it 😌

[pottersfia]

more grumpy x sunshine theo x hufflepuff!reader please! fluff, but if you wanna add a lil angst in it too! reader is super sweet and everyone loves her (including the slytherine group who took her under their wing. i don’t have anything super specific, but i love your writing and need more of this trope. 🥹 maybe he’s grumpy towards everyone except her. anything haha!

a/n: theo is a little out of character here in my opinion buttttt him and the afraid of commitment trope just makes sense to me and it’s ok to be delulu 🫶🏾

word count: 927

you and theodore nott had interesting relationship. the slytherin boy had asked you out on a date and you gladly accepted. your time together went well, but instead of having the usual second and third dates, the two of you casually hung out together.

theodore's friends did not mind at all. they liked having you around. not only were you one of the few hufflepuffs who didn't negatively stereotype slytherins, but when you were around theodore was less grumpy and mean. they all knew he had crazy feelings for you.

this fact was less obvious to you, however. theodore was known for his nonchalant, grumpy nature and you were aware, but surely it would change with a girl he liked? you began to doubt that he even liked you after the date.

"maybe he just wants to be friends. i don't know what i did wrong." you grumbled to pansy. she gave you a puzzled look. you were sat with her in the slytherin common room at a friday night party.

"are you joking? he definitely likes you. he's just not that good at expressing his feelings." she motions over to where theodore was standing. across the common room, past the crowd of students was theodore, draco, and blaise. as soon as you turned your head to look in his direction your eyes met. you gave him a smile and a small wave which he responded to with a slight nod and brief tight lipped smirk back. he then turned back to his friends. you rolled your eyes.

"y/n he has been staring at you this entire time!" pansy said.

"if he actually likes me he needs to make it more obvious."

the two of your drift off in conversation about school, music, and eventually the likelihood of your classmates becoming rich and famous. but now you were thirsty. you excused yourself and stood up to grab yourself a drink.

a few boys you never talked to were standing around the drinks but you didn't mind. you would get something and quickly go back to pansy. you smiled at one of the boys who looked at you as you approached. you grabbed a can and began to make your way back until he spoke up.

"y/n?" he said which caught you off guard.

"huh?" you blinked blankly at him.

"y/n, right? i'm andrew. from divination." he smiled at you.

"oh. oh! andrew, hi." you smiled as you recognized your classmate. "sorry, you look so different out of your uniform."

"yeah, you too. you look incredible." he said, looking you up and down.

"thanks." you awkwardly laughed.

your brief greeting turned into a full on conversation which theodore, who was watching right next to you, did not enjoy.

"y/n." you paused your conversation and abruptly looked up to the side of you to see theodore. you tried to hold back a smile.

"hi theo." you replied. he gave you a small smile then looked past you at andrew.

"i need to talk to you." he said looking back at you. you tilted your head a little surprised and unsure what he wanted to talk about, but you kindly looked back at andrew.

"i'll see you later?" you said. he smiled and nodded. you walked away with theodore, missing the disgusted look he gave andrew.

the two of you settled in a corner on the opposite side of the common room. you leaned against the wall and looked up at him. all he did was give you another smile and place his hand on cheek.

"you're so pretty, y/n." his words are soft and you feel your knees practically go weak, but where was this coming from?

"theo.." you broke eye contact making him lift your head to look back at him. "what did you want to talk about?" you ask.

"i just wanted you to myself." he shrugged. you furrowed your eyebrows.

"stop being mean." you grab his hand and lower it off of you.

"what are you talking about?" he's shocked at your words, you never sound this serious.

"do you actually like me?" you ask him. he stays quiet. "it's frustrating because i thought our date went really well but i don't know what we are right now."

"it did go well." he replied.

"so now what, theo?" he's quiet again. his silence is loud to you. in your head it's obvious that he has no interest in being with you, so why entertain him? you scoff and walk again, hearing him call out your name as you exit the common room.

"y/n! stop, please." he caught up to you and you turned around to him. "i like you. a lot. i want to be with you but i don't think i'm relationship material."

"what do you mean?" you ask him.

"you should be with someone that can guarantee you a good relationship. i don’t know if i’m that person.” you frown at his words. theodore was had a reputation for being with multiple girls and coming off as somewhat rude but you saw more than that in him. the entire time you’ve known each other he’s treated you better than anyone ever has.

“i want to be with you, theo. no one else.” you say to him.

“are you sure?” he asks. you grab onto the collar of his shirt and pull him closer, giving him a kiss which he gladly reciprocates.

“very sure.” you say as you slightly pull apart, just for him to kiss you once again.

Possessive

Pairing: Bridget Hearts x fem!reader

Genre: incredibly fluffy

note: OC name Cherise aka daughter of Cheshire Cat. I just love the cheshire cat and this oc character.

word count: 2k

Summary: Bridget and Cherise have been friends since before they transfer in Merlin Academy but after seeing Cherise in the arms of another, Bridget gets a little possessive.

It was a well-known fact around Merlin Academy of how close Cherise and Bridget are. The two wonderlandian are always seen together and they know that the cheshire cat wasn't one to mingle with others unless necessary. They would often find the magical cat either floating lazily around the school—sometimes above Bridget's head or sometimes curled up in the princess' arms.

Cherise wasn’t one to socialize unless absolutely necessary. As a Cheshire Cat, she lived by her own rules—appearing and disappearing as she pleased, often causing more confusion than clarity with her cryptic words and playful antics. A handful of students found her unsettling, especially when she’d float by with nothing but her head visible, her signature grin gleaming against the air, some find her adorable especially in her cat form despite her unique colours of her fur. As for Bridget, she was nothing short of a beloved companion.

The Princess of Wonderland never really mind and would sometimes even anticipate it. Whenever she sees Cherise approaching—floating towards them—she would empty whatever is in her lap or arms and let the cat crawl and lay herself comfortably, she does this in her cat form of course.

Bridget never minded Cherise’s oddities—in fact, she cherished them. Whenever she saw the cat-like girl approaching, whether gliding lazily through the air or padding quietly along in her cat form, Bridget would immediately make space. She’d empty her lap, clear her arms, and welcome Cherise with open hands. It had become a familiar, comforting routine—Bridget would sit down somewhere, and within minutes, Cherise would appear, as if called by an invisible thread that bound them together.

And Cherise would let her caress her fur as much as the princess like, which is all the time.

It truly is no secret that the Bridget adores the cheshire cat. And she secretly took pride of how whenever other students tried to touch Cherise she would just flash them her trademark cheshire grin which would often scare them. And if that doesn't work, she would evaporate, away from their touch, and would only return if they leave or when Bridget calls for her.

Today was no different. The two sat together in the academy’s sprawling courtyard, surrounded by the hum of other students enjoying their lunch break. The golden afternoon light bathed the grounds, and the ivy-covered towers of the academy loomed overhead, casting long shadows over the students below. While Bridget balanced her lunch in one hand and a quill in the other, trying to finish her homework, Cherise had already finished eating and now lounged in her favorite spot—Bridget’s lap, curled up in her small, sleek cat form.

Bridget absentmindedly stroked Cherise’s fur, the rhythmic motion helping her concentrate on the complex equations in front of her. Every so often, Cherise’s tail would flick, and her purring would grow louder, vibrating softly against Bridget’s legs.

While Bridget focused on her work, Cherise kept a lazy eye open, always alert to her surroundings despite her relaxed appearance. She noticed the way the VKs—Villain Kids—kept their distance whenever she was around. Bridget, for her part, never questioned why they stayed away. She assumed it was coincidence or luck. But the cat knew better. It was her presence, her reputation, and her terrifying cheshire grin that kept them at bay.

The VKs weren’t the only ones intimidated by Cherise. Even some of the regular students of Merlin Academy found her eerie. But that didn’t stop them from being curious, especially about her relationship with Bridget.

A group of students approached their table, their footsteps cautious but eager. Cherise’s ears twitched at the sound, but she didn’t move. She knew what was coming—they always asked the same thing.

"Hey Bridget?" a group of students approached them.

Bridget looked up, pulling her attention away from her homework. “Yes?”

"Can we asked you something?" The student shuffled their feet awkwardly, as if unsure how to phrase their question.

Bridget smiled warmly, always happy to talk with others. "Of course, anything"

“Well,” the student began, glancing down at Cherise, who appeared to be asleep in Bridget’s lap, “how come you’re the only one who can hold Cherise? She never lets anyone else near her, but with you, she’s… well… like this.” They gestured toward the cat, their voice tinged with envy.

The others in the group nodded in agreement, clearly just as baffled by the phenomenon. “Yeah, she never lets us pet her, but she’s always with you,” one added. Their tone was light, but the underlying jealousy was unmistakable.

Bridget blinked in surprise. She knows she's not the only one who founds the Cheshire cat adorable, both in human and cat form. A handful of students like Cherise but none of them were ever blessed with her attention. Only Bridget has that privilege which just adds more jealousy.

She looked down at Cherise, whose chest rose and fell gently with each breath. "Oh" she said, her voice soft as she stroked the cat’s fur. "I don't really know what you mean. Maybe she's just shy?" she said sounding unsure herself. She could never guest that the feline on her lap likes her. More or else how Cherise doesn't know Bridget likes her too.

Even as she said it, Bridget couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to it. Cherise wasn’t shy—far from it. She was confident, mischievous, and often a little too bold for her own good. But with Bridget, there was a softness, a willingness to be vulnerable that the cat rarely showed to anyone else.

There are also times when Cherise would joke around and messed with the princess, stealing her new bake treats first and sometimes even clothes and never gives them back or homework to copy but those, she still returns of course. But no matter how much the cheshire cat denies it, deep down she likes the princess just as much as she does her.

The students weren’t satisfied with Bridget’s answer, but they didn’t push. "Can I?" without even waiting for a reply, the student tried to reach out to what they thought the cat was 'asleep' and clueless of their presence, unbeknownst to them that she was aware of them the moment they started walking towards them.

Bridget's eyes widen, wanting to protest since she didn't want anyone to disturb her sleep but then she recalls how she knows her more than anyone else. And just like how she predicted before the student was about an inch away from her, Cherise's body evaporated, disappearing into thin air, leaving nothing but a trail of blue mist and, of course, her infamous grin. The grin hovered in the air for a moment longer, wide and sharp, before it too faded into nothingness.

The group groaned in frustration, but they weren’t surprised. They had seen this trick before. With a resigned sigh, they waved goodbye to Bridget and walked away, still muttering about how 'unfair' it was that Cherise only let Bridget hold her.

Bridget chuckled softly, shaking her head. She loved how Cherise always knew exactly when to vanish. Once the students were out of sight, she leaned back in her seat. “You can come back now,” she called, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

And indeed, Cherise reappear almost instanty, this time in her human form. She stood behind Bridget, her lithe body pressed lightly against the princess’s back. Without saying a word, Cherise draped her arms around Bridget’s shoulders, resting her chin on her shoulder. 

Bridget's smile never falter, in fact it grew wider at the thought that Cherise won't let anyone hold her but her. A sigh of relief escape her lips at the warmth the cat-like girl brings from the hug.

"Are you finish yet? I want cookies" Cherise whined. She made an excuse for them to return back to the princess' dorm since it was staring to get a little chilly and it worries her that Bridget might catch a cold from it.

Bridget giggled “Alright, alright,” she said before closing her notes and stood up, not knowing the hidden meaning from the cat's excuse. Cherise levitated from the ground and floats above the princess as she follows her.  she said. “Let’s head back to my dorm. We can bake something before it gets too late.”

Cherise’s lips curved into a small smile, though she remained quiet. She had her own reasons for wanting to head inside. The air had grown colder as the afternoon wore on, and though Bridget hadn’t noticed, Cherise did. The cat-girl didn’t want her princess catching a cold, so cookies made the perfect excuse to usher her indoors.

As they made their way across the courtyard, Cherise floated beside Bridget, occasionally drifting just above the ground. Her presence was as light as a feather, yet her affection for the princess was undeniable.

—

It wasn't long until Bridget and Ella became friends., much to Cherise’s initial dismay. Ella, a soft-spoken girl with a sharp wit, had become fast friends with Bridget after an encounter during Potions class. Though Cherise had been skeptical at first—sharing Bridget’s attention wasn’t something she enjoyed—she quickly realized that Ella meant no harm. In fact, Ella made Bridget happy, and that was enough for Cherise to tolerate her presence. 

Ella, at first, wasn't sure about Cherise but she truly like Bridget, she's not like other royals in the school, and she happy to be friends with her. It took a little getting use to with the girl floating around and turning into a cat that could grin but after seeing how she interacts with Bridget. It did took a while for the cat to warm up to the blue-haired girl, and soon enough, the three of them became a small but close-knit group. She slowly became comfortable with her, to the point where others could see Ella and Cherise together as they wait for Bridget.

On one particularly crisp autumn afternoon, Bridget and Ella were walking out of their last class of the day. They were planning on going to the library to finish up homework early so that Ella could help Bridget with her next bake goods she was planning on making for tomorrow.

"I'm thinking of making gingerbread man this time" Bridget said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Would this be a normal gingerbread man or . . . " Ella grinned.

Bridget giggled. "Of course not. I'm using a few ingredients from wonderland" she stated happily.

Ella just shook her head, chuckling at how bubbly her best friend is. Baking with her is actually fun, every new creation was a mystery especially after Bridget started using ingredients from wonderland.  Bridget’s Wonderland ingredients often led to unpredictable—but delicious—results.

As they walked, they were interrupted by the sight of a familiar striped tail dangling lazily in front of them. Looking up, they saw Cherise in her cat form, floating mid-air as if resting on an invisible branch. She was, as usual, fast asleep, her body swaying gently in the breeze. 

With a sleepy stretch, Cherise floated down toward them, drifting like a falling leaf. Without even opening her eyes, she landed directly in Ella’s arms, much to the girl’s surprise.

"Hey Cherise, still sleepy as always." Ella said, laughing as she cradled the cat.

Ever since Bridget introduce the blue-haired girl to her as her friend. Cherise had come to terms and tolerate the girl. And now she would sometimes accompany her whenever Bridget asked her.

But right now, the sight of the cheshire cat in the arms of another made Bridget pout. She stuffed all of her things in her bag before grabbing the cat out of Ella's arms and cradling the feline in hers.

The action startled the blue-haired girl but Cherise didn't even woke from her sleep, unbothered by what happen, just letting Bridget handle her.

Ella raise a brow at her friend and smirked. "Possessive much B?" She asked in a teasing voice.

"No I'm not." Bridget denied but the blush on her face betrayed her.

Ella just laughed at her as the princess buried her face on Cherise' fluffy body.

Cherise on the other hand was thankful that she was in her cat form or else she would have exposed herself as well, as she felt her cheeks heat up from what she just heard.

BUT OMG, EHEHEHEHEB 🤭

Longan Dragon x Reader

Oneshot

Warnings: just fluff

-Falling in love-

A cool spring breeze flows throughout a flowery medow, causing the grass to sway. Resting in the middle of the field were the Ivory Dragon and yourself.

Quite the rare scene indeed, since getting Longan dragon to agree to something as trivial as making flower crowns is a very difficult thing to manage.

They themself had wondered why they agreed to it. There was nothing particularly special about the day; you had just randomly asked if they'd like to make the things with you.

And despite that, they couldn't bring themself to say no.

So here the two of you were: sitting in a large, open field as you taught Longan how to make flower crowns.

"And just like this-" you held up the end result and showed it to them. "Ta-da!" A bright smile was on your face.

Longan would continue giving you that cold, emotionless stare they always had on their face. If you hadn't known them well, you'd think they were uninterested.

But of course, if Longan saw this as a waste of time, they would have said so already.

You leaned towards them, carefully placing the now complete flower crown atop their head.

If it were anyone else trying to get this close to them, Longan would have killed them already.

So why were you the anomaly?

You hadn't done anything to earn this dragon's respect. All you ever did was talk with them sometimes or complete small projects such as this one.

The way you treated them as if they couldn't destroy you at any second... How content you always were.

It was so naive... yet so captivating and peaceful at the same time.

It couldn't be.. had Longan developed a soft-spot for you? Had you melted this uncaring dragon's cold heart?

Your voice soon snapped them out of their daze.

"Here, you make one next!" You placed some freshly picked flowers into their hands and began to recite the steps to them.

It was easy, of course. Creating flower crowns was not something beyond the Ivory Dragon.

The thing that troubled them so much was that lingering question.

Why were you the anomaly?

How is it that after such a long time living, their ideals would eventually bend to your will?

Perhaps they should have been upset. But, they just couldn't feel that way. It was a rather odd feeling, actually, though not bad.

In fact, it was quite nice. It made them feel as if all of the flowers in the meadow shone just a little brighter.

"Oh, you're finished already?" You took the flower crown out of their hands and carefully examined it. "You're a natural at this!"

You handed the crown back to them and continued to sit peacefully.

Longan would just gaze at the object, thinking.

"You know, I really enjoy the time we spend together," You'd say randomly.

They looked up to meet your gaze. "You do? I don't think I'm very good company.." they'd respond.

"Sure you are! Why else do you think I asked you to join me today?"

Longan looked back down at the crown before placing it on your head, leaving a touch that seemed to linger for just a little too long..

A subtle blush spread across your face as you continued to smile.

It was in that moment that everything clicked for them.

Why they adored you so much, why they wanted nothing more than to be around you, and to protect you.

Why their heart beat just a bit faster around you, and why your smile had long since become one of their favorite views.

Why their ideals would bend for you, why they agreed to this rather stupid idea of making crowns out of flowers.

Why they thought of you so often, and why for the first time in a long while, they felt something other than hate.

They were falling in love, and there wasn't any way it could be undone.

Hopefully you're ready for what consequences would come from this.

[enigmatist17]

Parts 1-5, and this (for now?) is the finale :)

---

"Let me see you Prowler."

There's the telltale clicking of armored plating separating, the thick layers revealing the core of every Cybertronian that held the piece that made each mech their own.

"Beautiful."

The slightly grey spark that had only been bared for Jazz whirred within its casing, surrounded by a faint black shimmer that twisted in and out of sight. The inner casing opened when a clawed digit caressed the smooth glass, tendrils reaching out to the familiar touch as a shiver wracked Prowl's frame. He could have spent forever looking at that familiar spark, but they had been parted for too long, so regretfully, he pulled back, purring when the tactician above him let out a soft click. The room around them fell away when Prowl crouched over Jazz, white and silver sparks reaching out for each other faster than either bot would ever care to admit, merging into each other faster than a human heartbeat.

Sorrow/Loss/Joy/Relief/Fear/Love

Prowl's spark had been left jagged with his death, his spark wrapping around Jazz's with so much pain that it almost overwhelmed Jazz right into stasis. Images of Prowl traveling through space flickered through the bond, his spark churning when he experienced the ghost feeling of their bond snapping, nowhere near the pain he felt when Megatron ripped him in half.

Clawed servos tearing into his chassis, pulled away by a frantic Bluestreak

Silenced screams shorting out his vocalizer as he's restrained, frame convulsing as he tries to process the loss of his other half

The pleas that race nonstop for him to come back, to not leave him all alone

Jagged edges are seamlessly enveloped, feelings of complete love and adoration chasing away the pain and loneliness that had haunted the rest of Prowl's trip to Earth. Fierce protectiveness and murderous rage drive away the latent memories of Jazz's death, the hunter between them willing to do anything to prevent that from happening again. Klicks, breems, cycles, time loses all meaning as two become one for a second time, the final time if either Cybertronian has anything to say about it.

Jazz immediately enters stasis when their bond is fully re-established, the exhaustion of such an energy-draining moment apparently too much for someone who had just been brought back from the Well of All Sparks. It's only the latent content feeling of Jazz on the other end of their bond that keeps Prowl from reacting out of worry, sitting beside the berth with a soft vent. Ratchet and Optimus check in on the couple a few breems later, the medic fussing over Jazz while Optimus gently pulls his second-in-command to a corner of the room.

"How are you?" The Prime spoke first, resting a servo on Prowl's shoulder with a soft smile, overjoyed that his two closest confidants had been given a rightful second chance.

"I am...better?" There was no word human or Cybertronian that could describe his spark or his thoughts, so he settled with facts. "I no longer feel the need to offline myself."

"I'm sorry, my friend, I would have given my life to save his." Sorrow clung to every word Optimus spoke, Prowl shaking his helm with a low hiss.

"We all have signed up for this willingly, and have known that any cycle could be our last. Something has given us a second chance, and we should take it for what it is, Orion." Ratchet looks over at the old name, but remains silent as Optimus vents slowly, his rigid posture slumping at the words. "I will not let another of us pass, I assure you."

"Truer words have never been spoken."

---

It's a full week before Jazz and Prowl finally emerge from their little warehouse, the sun glinting off their frames as they push the door open, Jazz stepping through first with a deep intake of the salty air that was prevalent on Diego Garcia.

"Missed this, never got much of a chance ta really explore this planet." The saboteur hummed, stopping short at two bots standing not far from the entrance of their warehouse, a grin crossing his face plate when he took in the familiar frames. "As I live an' intake, is that who I think it is?"

"Maybe, you might wanna re-cycle your optics." The boxier of the two grinned, forest green and black paint reminding him of their first meeting in Polyhex. "I can't believe this is really happening."

"Neither can I, an' I'm the one livin' through it." Prowl was by his side when Jazz took a shaky step forward, grimacing a bit. "Damn."

"Ratchet will have your helm for this." The second mech scoffed as they rolled forward, supporting Jazz's other side with a click at the first mech. "Hound, could you let the good doctor know he is walking about?"

"Course 'Raj, have fun." The three watched Hound transform into a Jeep Wrangler before making his way across the base, Jazz taking a moment before tugging the second bot into a hug, one that was returned warmly.

"When did you both get here?" It was a bit unorthodox to hug those under your command, but being both an old friend and still high on returning from the Well, Jazz felt more than charitable.

"Hound arrived here three jour's after your...death, I only arrived a jour ago myself." Something felt off with the answer, but Jazz had all the time in the world to figure it out, amused when they finally parted their hug at a chirp from Prowl. "Apologies, I am still adjusting to physical contact."

"Don't worry about it, it's good ta see ya Mirage." The blue and white mech smiled as the sound of a few vehicles filled the air, Prowl stiffening when Hound and Ratchet rounded the corner with a small escort. "Ah, the inquisition has arrived."

"Indeed." Mirage took a step away when the medic transformed with a grumble, shaking a digit at the smallest mech of the group, who only shrugged and leaned against Prowl with a grin.

"What about comming me to let me know when you felt up for exploration did you not understand?"

"It escaped my processor," Prowl answered as Ratchet pulled out a scanner, cursing in a way that would have made a Decepticon crash as he fixated on Jazz's spark. "My apologies."

"Uh huh, sure it did. Primus, the two of you togther are a disaster."

"Oh man, is this going to be a twins-level disaster?" A human groaned, and it took Prowl to recognize him from before, Lennox hoping out of the human transport he'd taken with a few other men.

"No one is like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe," Mirage replied in a scandalized voice as Hound just laughed, Prowl's doorwings hiking up as he stared at Lennox. "Let alone Prowl."

"Aww he can be, if I get him riled up the right wa-"

"Jazz." If a Cybertronain could blush, Prowl's face plate would probably be cherry red as the small mech cackled, even Ratchet struggling to remain professional as he kept at his work. "Silence yourself."

"Love ya too." Lennox couldn't help but snort, covering his face with one hand as the men under his command struggled not to let out a sound. "Good ta see you still 'round Lennox."

"Same here man, everyone is still reeling about your whole resurrection thing; that's some wicked shit." It really had been the only big topic, everyone eager to see Jazz when the news broke about what caused the light that had engulfed the entire base. Mirage and Hound, however, had deterred anyone besides Ratchet from doing just that, more than a few betting pools passing around about why the two were so fierce about keeping them safe.

No one was ballsy enough to ask, though.

"Despite the energon deficiency I was expecting, you're physically stable, your processor on the other hand..." Ratchet's gaze softened slightly as he placed his scanner away, giving both Jazz and Prowl a look. "Take some time exploring the base, and then I want you to get an alt form by tomorrow, Prowl, you could catch something your frame is unaccustomed to."

"As you wish." Prowl nodded his helm as Jazz did a mock salute, Ratchet grumbling something about idiocy as he transformed and headed back to wherever Hound had grabbed him from.

"Ah Prowler you're gonna love some of these alt's the humans have, we'll get ya somethin' stylish."

"Sideswipe and Mirage actually have a few options for you to scan, when you're up for it." Hound smiled, nudging the bot at his side. "Mirage has been having fun going through listings."

"Shall we then?" Prowl wanted nothing more than to keep Jazz by his side, clawed servos twitching when Hound led the revived Jazz closer to the humans, Mirage placing a gentle servo on his shoulder.

"Come, you've not had time to process." Mirage had long become accustomed to Prowl's possessiveness over the years, the quiet clicking ignored as he led the officer toward one of the bigger buildings on the base. "Bluestreak has settled in nicely, and Perceptor finally settled on an alt mode once Brawn heard he had not chosen one."

"Thank you, I have worried for them." Well, he would have if his entire being hadn't been solely focused on Jazz. "How have you faired?"

"I have not, truth be told." The noble released an exasperated vent as a group of jogging soldiers passed before them, the newer arrival watching them curiously. "I had been alone since our exodus from Cybertron, so all of this social interaction has been...taxing."

"I can only imagine." Mirage shrugged as they entered their hangar, a few bots waving from the far side of the room from a few parked vehicles, none appearing Cybertronian. "Are these for me?"

"Mhm, most are used by the enforcers of this planet, and others for leisure." Mirage could see both the humans and Autobots in the hangar slow their work to watch Prowl examine the various cars, curious about what alt he would choose. It takes him two loops around the vehicles before Prowl settles on one Mirage called a Hellcat, a blue beam of light enveloping the car before the familiar sound of a transformation sequence filled the air, ending with a second Hellcat idling where Prowl had stood. The coloring scheme had changed from a blue and black to a dark grey and white coloring, his red and silver Autobot emblem smack-dab on top of his hood, a familiar sight for most of the bots.

"You made an excellent choice." Prowl revved his engine as Mirage nodded his helm, the sound echoing throughout the hangar.

"Thank you, this will do nicely." The tactician always enjoyed scanning new alt forms, cataloging his Cybertronian form in case he could use it in the future, although that seemed very unlikely. His thoughts are interrupted by the revving of another engine, a silver Porsche that Prowl had only seen through internet searches crossing the hangar and joining his side. "How do you feel?"

"Like I could race ya halfway across the planet." Jazz inched forward with another rev, practically bouncing on his wheels. "Bet you could use one, my poor Prowler hasn't been out on the road in ages."

"Then I suggest you get moving." Mirage rolled his optics as there was a beat before Jazz peeled out of the building, whizzing past surprised bots as he headed for the far side of the base that led out into the rest of the island. He could hear Prowl not far behind, the tactician stumbling at the start with the feeling of his new tires against the ground, but not one to be kept down long as he chased after his bonded. It had truly been a long time since they'd been able to drive together, the familiar metal and crystals of Cybertron replaced with sand and almost glowing water as Jazz led Prowl all over the interconnected islands. The sky is a beautiful orange when the chase draws to a close, water lapping at their pedes as they rest together in the sand, Jazz running his servos over Prowl's doorwings as the Praxian lay on his front, helm resting in his lap.

"I love you, Prowl." The bond swells with the love he cannot voice, answered in kind by the mech slowly relaxing inch by inch in his hold with a soft purr. "Nothin' can ever change that."

"I love you too, Jazz, and I agree."

This was all they needed, what happens next?

Well, they'll just have to wait and see.

Happy birthday ushi 🎉🎂🥳😘🎈🎁!!!

⍣ ೋ dreams come true

˚ · . ushijima x afab!reader

: ̗̀➛ fluff, unknown mutual pining, plot twist at the end (?), just cuteness for my boy wakatoshi's bday ʚ❤︎ɞ , this was kinda shit haha

even tiny love i've cherished (you make me feel so good)

you walked slowly throughout the hallways, almost hesitantly, your hand behind your back, cheeks tingling slightly with excitement and nervousness.

you inhaled deeply, lightly pouting at the way you were such a nervous wreck, even though what you were about to do was normal for friends. hah, friends.

finding the courage, you sped up your steps when you saw the classroom that your friend was in, taking a moment to take a deep breath before you opened the sliding door.

you smiled lightly, finding comfort in seeing your dear friend. "happy birthday wakatoshi-san.." you meekly muttered, walking over to his desk, to where he was sitting at. he looked up at you with his stoic face, olive eyes watching as you approached.

you looked around quickly, noticing that it was just you and him and a few other random classmates. "w-where is satori-san?" you asked, a little nervous at the idea of it just being you and ushijima.

"he left to go get a drink. he'll be back soon," he said, his attention on you as he waited for you to say something. you always guided him in the conversations, not that he didn't want to talk to you, he just didn't know what to say sometimes. he's rather a listener than a speaker.

"say, are you doing anything for your birthday?" you asked. "i don't know yet, might not do anything." he replied, his hands coming up to his notebook, closing it. oh, what a bummer. "oh, that must suck, haha. did anyone buy you gifts? or are you going to get gifts?"

"i think my team is planning something, they are acting a bit suspicious." he raised a slight eyebrow, surprising you with his words, he caught on? "m-maybe you're just being paranoid, haha, don't think too much about it!" you stammered, lightly chuckling at his straightforwardness. his team, are in fact, planning something for his birthday.

"maybe." he said, a rare light smile coming up to his face. you couldn't help but grin at him, you love it when he smiles. you've known him since freshman year, and yet you can count on your hand how many times you've seen him smile.

"ah, y'know 'toshi, i have a lil' something for you." you said, biting on your lower lip excitedly. "what is it?" he asked, lightly cocking his head to the side. you were quick to whip out his birthday gift, wrapped neatly, with a cute purple bow on the side, "ta-da!" you cheekily grinned, giggling a little at your awkwardness.

you could almost hear his thoughts as you placed the gift into his hands, a gift? "please, it's your birthday! don't be so lame, 'toshi." you spewed, one of your hands coming up to playfully slap at his broad shoulder.

"do you want me to open it?" he asked, emitting a playful scoff from you, "why are you asking me? it's your gift! open it whenever you want."

jeez, this guy can be so dense, you pouted. though, your pouting quickly turned into a shy grin, so adorable. for some reason, your stomach dropped when his hands fumbled with the string of the present, working to untie and open it, in front of you.

you trembled nervously, your eyebrows furrowed greatly as you chewed on your lip, hands clenching at the material of your skirt. "i wanted to get you something, b-but i didn't know what, but i saw it so.." you said, trailing off when he brought his revealed gift closer to his face to observe it.

a keychain, a little volleyball with two black dots as eyes, and two arms and legs. he looked back into the gift-bag, which had other items such as cookies and little things. it surprised you when he was still observing the keychain, fiddling it in-between his thick fingers.

you jolted up when he sat up once more, keychain still in his hand. from the way he was staring at you blankly, you thought he was going to like, throw it at you or something.

"thank you, i appreciate your gift." he said, sitting the keychain upright on his desk, eyebrow raising slightly when it stood up on it's own. "you like it?" you smiled, leaning a little towards his desk.

he smiled at you softly once more. "yes, i like it. thank you." you softly blushed at his words, the praise and acceptance feeling the best to you, but the moment was short lived when the 5-minute bell rang, interrupting the sweet moment.

"aw.." you groaned out, slumping over in your seat. you then stood up, stretching a little before turning to face the doorway. "i'll see you later." he said, low eyes looking you straight in the eyes.

you grinned once more at him, his words sounding more like a demand, rather than a request. "see you later, 'toshi."

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-

"that was fun, we should do it again," satori said, cheeks flushed intensely from all of the alcohol he consumed that night, leaning weakly against the wall of the outside doorway.

keys crinkled, metal on metal scraping against each other as ushijima worked the lock, twisting and turning the key until he heard a click. "ushiwaka, you still have that keychain?" satori purred, leaning in closer to ushijima, eyeing the familiar keychain.

opening the door, ushijima pulled his keys up closer to his chest, once more looking down at the keychain with familiarity and softness. it was the same keychain you gifted him in his senior year, and despite being nearly a decade later, the keychain dusted and dirtied, he still has it dangling alongside his set of keys.

"yeah," he grunted, opening the second door, stuffing the keys into his pocket carefully, staring straight-ahead into the house's walkway.

"welcome home 'toshi, oh, hello satori!"

Character Intro: Aleksi Eskola

moodboard (eventually ☝️😔)

“I swear to you—I will not falter. I will not leave you. I promise.”

Basics:

Pronouns: he/him

Species: Halfling (Tiefling / Human)

Age: 26

MBTI: idk

Voice Claim: idk

Physical:

6’0

Build: Muscular, a bit of fat

Skin: Pale

Hair: Dirty blond

Eyes: Left eye is medium brown, right eye is sky blue

Special Features: Very cold due to his ice magic, little brown horn nubs, long thin tail with a brown tuft at the end

Personality:

Aleksi is a very reserved man. He loves his solitude, but will occasionally permit someone to infringe on it. He’s quite polite, but this politeness comes with a bit of a drawback—he’s a bit of a pushover. He’s working on it, but it’s an uphill battle.

Speaking Style: Aleksi is a very quiet person, preferring to speak very little. This hesitance to speak is amplified by the fact that he isn’t too fluent in Niali. He tries his best, and uses simpler words and gets right to the point.

Likes: sparring, being right, brushing his hair, honor, his family, good food, the color orange (with THAT color pallet???? I’m a lil sus 🤨), the cold, snow, dogs, griffins, music, drinks, his axe

Dislikes: duty, authority, bananas, dirty fighting, being outmatched, his magic, tiny spaces, liars, losing

Main Goal: “I want to be okay. I’d like to do my job. And eventually… get back with the Azari…”

Backstory (in progress—have a silly lil WIP):

Aleski Eskola was born in Axedomin, a snowy, barren landscape known for little else. He lived with his family, and his village was a small, close-knit one. It was here that Aleksi learned the value of family.

It was also where he learned the cruel nature of the world.

Le bullet point format:

very nice family

very chill (weather and demeanor)

winter comes

the snow piles up

"oh well that's normal ya know" says the fam and they do their things as normal

so they send aleksi and Cinnamon the Honse to do smth

but then AVALANCHE

and now they dead

very sad very dramatic

anywho

the village is dead so aleksi goes to Nialon for work

he sells Cinnamon bc he has no monies

:(

and then he meets Dianthe (another character)

n dia gets him to join the Azari 

that's how he meets Felix n Kaiden

yay

 BUT THEN

they (alek n dia) go on a mission

dia dies :(((

oh well now since his grieving period is up he’s gotta work 🤷‍♀️

“wait maybe I could like. do some Easier stuff to uh. ease myself back into work???”

“Uh sure okay yea join those losers 👉”

“Wait who’re the loser— oh my gods.”

👉losers👈 (the main gang)

ta daaaaa

Hi! I loved reading your headcanons on Arvellas and I was wondering if had some for Turhir? He's my favorite Thranduilion brother and I was just curious. No pressure to do this or anything if you don't want to. 😊Thank you!

Eeek! I am *so* happy when people ask me about Turhir, because I'm really trying to grow his little fanclub (I know you've consistently been on Team Turhir since Day 1 @stormchaser819, so bless you!), and here is another opportunity to give him a little marketing boost!

If anyone were to ask me who among the Thranduilions I would label "The Sexiest", the answer is easy. THIS Prince. They're all attractive of course, and certainly "sexy" is extremely subjective, but I hope my headcanons (and eventually, more fics!) can make my case for me. :)

Prince Turhir Thranduilion

15 Fun SotWK AU Headcanons

When Elvenqueen Maereth was pregnant with her second-born child, she carried so big and heavy, an outside observer would have thought she was carrying multiples. However, with Elven mothers having the foresight they do, Maereth knew it was just one future-prince. And she knew he would be a giant!  

Maereth endured the hardest labor with Turhir--three whole days of active labor pains! Turhir was also the only child to stay significantly past his due date, and some might connect this to his special love and devotion to his mother. Turhir (“Victorious Master”) was also the only prince to have been named before he came out of the womb. 

Turhir is the only prince to be taller than the Elvenking. Turhir is 7 feet, 6 inches while Thranduil is 7 feet, 3 inches. (The next tallest prince is Mirion at 7 feet.) 

Turhir’s earliest childhood ambition was to be a member of the Kingsguard, so he could protect his parents, especially the mother he adores. However, this was a position unbefitting a royal prince, as his father would explain to him. The King suggested that he instead aspire to be the Master Trainer of Eryn Galen’s forces, a top position Turhir would eventually earn in TA 542. 

Young Turhir was always keen on pleasing his parents, so it is difficult to know whether his lifelong career as a soldier was his genuine aspiration, or borne of a desire to please Thranduil, who took immense pride in Turhir’s natural military prowess.

Turhir has leonine agility and grace despite his immense size. When he walks or moves, he seems light as air and silent as a shadow, able to attack stealthily, while still striking with the force of a hill-troll.

But what makes Turhir a truly extraordinary warrior is his focus and precise control over his strength and skills. He never goes into blind rage, even in the heat of battle, but fights methodically, his every move measured and with intent. He has great knowledge about incapacitating opponents without killing them, or injuring someone (even of different races/physiologies) just a hairline shy of causing death. Although he will not hesitate to kill when necessary, he does not take pleasure in it; neither is he insensitive to loss of life.

Out of everyone in his family, Turhir is the most proficient hand-to-hand combatant, learning from the most veteran native Silvan warriors who specialize in this. He can fight with any weapon and can turn anything into a weapon (i.e. John Wick with a pencil), but he most favors polearms, ranging in size from lances to throwing javelins.

When Turhir was appointed prince-regent of Thangail in T.A. 280, he was the only prince to build his city of residence from the ground up (literally, he helped in its construction). His domicile in the north-west corner of Greenwood, Barad Aithron (“Tower of Spears”), is in fact a fortress that includes the largest barracks in the realm, housing the soldiers known as the Hedryn. 

Around TA 300, Thranduil worked with Turhir to formally establish the Hedryn (“spear-throwers”), a division of Eryn Galen’s infantry that consisted of foot soldiers armed with shield and spear, similar to the Ancient Greeks’ hoplites. These soldiers were primarily trained to be deadly individual warriors, but also trained to fight as a unit in phalanx formation, on the rare occasions they deployed on an open field. Each single Hadron underwent rigorous training with their commander, Prince Turhir, before being accepted into the ranks. Although the Hedryn were dissolved soon after Turhir’s departure in TA 2601 (340 years before The Hobbit), much of their influence can still be seen in Mirkwood’s forces as they fought at the Battle of the Five Armies.

Turhir’s greatest passion outside of his military job is carpentry and joinery. He likes working with timber to construct things, especially buildings. He would often show up at community builds (even homes are built as a community effort), volunteering his labor as discreetly as possible so that gradually people just got used to the prince working alongside them. 

Although Turhir generally tries to fly under the radar at the realm’s community celebrations, Eryn Galen’s annual “Teilien Laer” (summer games) is where he naturally shines, and allows himself the attention. Crowds gather to cheer on the display of physical prowess from all the Silvan Elves, but Turhir in particular is the main attraction in every event he participates in.  

Turhir is a mysterious legend to the Dúnedain, specifically the Men of Arnor. Old songs passed down through the centuries tell of a great Elf-Knight, “Turoquen”, who won the great tournament held in the summer of TA 280 in Annúminas, celebrating the birth of Tarcil, grandson of King Eldacar. This was the first and only time Turhir ever participated in a tournament outside of his own realm, but it was enough to make a mark in history (although he is never truly credited in the songs and tales). 

Turhir is on much more familiar terms with the various Northmen tribes who occupied the lands around Eryn Galen throughout the Third Age. Out of all the princes, he engaged the most with these peoples and formed relationships with them that lasted across centuries, including the Lôthéod (a tribe that preceded the Éothéod, the ancestors of the Rohirrim), and the shape-shifting ancestors of Beorn. 

Turhir is one of the best horse masters in the Woodland Realm. He was responsible for propagating the arrochs, a very rare breed of giant horses descended from war steeds brought over from Valinor by the Host of the West. The arrochs were very few in number, allowing Turhir to personally break and train every single one that was birthed.

Thank you again for the Ask, @stormchaser819! <3 I apologize for the unexpected info dump; even I didn't realize I still had SO much to stay about this character! XD

While my fancast for Turhir is Sam Heughan, I also take inspiration from the following characters, especially in regards to his fighting style: Tarzan, Achilles (Troy 2004), and Nuada (Hellboy)

AITA for getting a local barber run out of town?

So, context, I work at a radio station and am a pretty well-known figure. I wouldn't say "celebrity" or anything, but people know who I am and trust me to give good, solid, unbiased reports of local news. A few months ago, the love of my life (I'll call him C) came into town. We've only had a few conversations, but I know for a fact that he's my soulmate. Now, I'm not shallow, but this man had literally perfect hair. A lot of the community agrees with me on this, and I sincerely believe that admiring C's hair was a small source of happiness for the whole town. Life is full of dangers, and our town needs all the joy it can get.

So here's where I may be TA. Last week C went to get his beautiful hair cut short. This on its own would be heartbreaking, but the barber totally messed up the haircut, and I… might have overreacted a little. I said the barber's name and the address of his business on the air while reporting on what happened, and the rest of the town reacted accordingly. The last I heard of him, he was out wandering the sandwastes, howling at the night in anguish over what he had done.

In my mind, I was just doing my duty as a reporter. I pride myself on my accuracy and I know others tune in with the expectation that they'll get the whole story; nothing cut, no details ommitted or warped. The barber should have anticipated the town's negative reaction to the haircut and either refused to do it or at the very least done a better job. I hate to say he deserved what he got, but one can't expect to be completely free of consequences, either.

So, AITA?

Oren: “Oh, she’s pretty neat, bro.”

Raddy: “Ehhh. I don’t have much to say ‘bout her. As long as she keeps off my backyard.”

Clukr: “Saves’ adoptive granddaughter, yes? She’s a decently good child, I suppose.”

Fun Bot: “I like teaching her my moves, it makes me happy when she copies some of them! Though, I might have to slow down a little on some of them…”

Vineria: “She’s real adorable.”

Gray: “She called me a big brother once. I’m still happy about it.”

Brud: “Cupcake!! Me want eat! But said not can eat…”

Garnold: “I’ve heard she’s a good kid.”

OWAKCX: “…” (doesn’t know who Sprinkles is)

Sky: “I feel like a real grown-up around her. We’re both Sprunklings, but she’s the littlest. Heheh!”

Mr. Sun: “Our little Sprunkling of Sugar! She’s sweet on the outside and inside!”

Durple: “Oh, she’s quite a dear little one! She doesn’t quite understand some of the eloquent terms I spout, yet I know she’s trying her best to follow. Oh, and guess who made her birthday dress? Me, of course~! Who else would be fashionably keen enough to turn sequins into sprinkles? Hohoho~!”

Mr. Tree: “She knows how to enjoy her youth while she can. It’s an adorable trait.”

Simon: “She’s so fun!! I like playing along with her, it takes me back to my Sprunkling years every time! Though, to be fair, my inner Sprunkling is always active and alive!”

Tunner: “Heh, she’s a sweet lil’ plum. I remember when she made me this DIY badge, it was too adorable and kind ta’ pass on. Where is it, ya ask? Look under ma’ vest; I kept it close to m’ heart.”

Mr. Fun Computer: “She doesn’t get to visit me too often since Father Clukr is very particular about children being inside the laboratory. But when she does, it’s always fun! She loves playing my video games! She even partakes in my gameshows sometimes! Of course, with Saves’ consent.”

Wenda: “Oh my gosh, she’s like, the little sister I never had. Not to brag, buuuuuut I like spoiling her with outfits and stuff, and like, I sometimes take her out to eat at midnight. She’s lovely, very lovely. If anyone hurt her then I’d definitely start fighting them too, cause like, who would ever?!”

Pinki: “Sprinkles is adorable! In fact, she inspired one of my cupcake flavors! I call it Plumkles!...the name wasn’t exactly thought on too deeply, hehe. It has sweet plum filling inside and icing that looks like the one on Sprinkles’ head! Heeheehee~!”

Jevin: “Dear little cupcake, soft and rotund. Living her life so sweet and so fun. If only nothing could shatter that light, the light that shines in her eyes so vibrantly bright. Little Sprinkles, do cherish your friends. Cherish them until the very end.”

Black: “She’s…her demeanor’s familiar to me…uh, anyway. She’s a good kid.”

Saves: “Oh, my little Sparkles…she always knows how to cheer me up…”

Ciqu: (Canonically unavailable due to arc, but here’s his hypothetical reaction) “She abides. I have no strong opinions of her.”

Calvin: “Heh, she’s one of my good friends. We’ve known each other since we were really little. She’s like, one of the kindest Sprunkies you could ever meet. And she likes ninjas too, so there’s that. I mean, she did give me this strap right here to help complete my uniform. She’s also…really pretty. And I…find her really…cute- w-wait- please don’t tell anyone I said that.”

(Not so quick, sorry I ramble) Quick info:

Hello hello, my name's Noor, (they/them, fae/faer, it/its).

I have some semblance of a human-like flesh, but in reality I'm a conglomerate of stories and shadows, which I hoard like a dragon

I'm aspec and genderfluid. Where on the aroace spectrum? Yes. (Basically, I'm a queer platonic sap, hi)

Fandoms: Link Click, Kasane Teto, Arcane, Sherlock Holmes, Nightcord at 25 and Project Sekai, Qualia the purple, Jujutsu Kaisen, Alien stage, the Girl from the Other Side, the Little Prince, Autodale/the dead sound short films.

I will ship queer platonically, fandoms are missing out on queer platonic ships THEY ARE SO WONDEROUS AKJDFKLSDLKFj

I favor themes and character development and overanalyze everything, to the point where my thoughts contain more of my existence than existence itself.

my responsibility avoidance has caught up to me yet I'm still here

Things I have a strange amount of information on: Biology (particularly apoptosis and caspases), the mycorrhizal system and trees, rhetorical devices and storytelling, marketing, editing, quantum physics, character analysis, random theoretical and phycological musings, spirituality but we don't talk about that, basically nothing practical whatsoever.

Least favorite things: chairs, shoes, grocery stores, the looming doom of being independent, grass lawns, the school system, apathy, being told to 'go to sleep at a reasonable time', executive dysfunction

Fun fact: My life's purpose is to turn the subjects I like (like biology) into stories (an episodic narrative about a caspase trying to find meaning in life before they destroy the cell and end it all).

Writing book recommendations: Story genius and word painting

I also make dolls

In other news, since large Anuli doll has been... ruined. I make a tiny one, I'll upload picutures on youtube at somepoint. NIce to see you all! If you wish to respond, feel free to tag me in a reblog!

Link Click Hyperfixation

Otherwise known as Cheng Xiaoshi, his sister, and his queer platonic bf all get traumatized as they break the space time continuum.

GIF by bishonenlover

What shall I say? The subtle buildup of Cheng Xiaoshi's backstory, the way it gets more and more tragic and nuanced as it parallels with those he possesses? The way he can adapt and strategize for the given situation (despite the fact that everyone sees him as just a silly), how he continues to wait for his parents, how he loves Lu Guang so much he would lose him just to respect his wishes, how his emotional connection with those he possesses overwhelms him and it's. so. tragic.

Lu Guang's adherence to the rules to the point where he's ripping at the seams, how he teases Cheng Xiaoshi even more than Cheng XIaoshi does to him (yes even with his stoic character. He's so silly... also season two), how he has the most queer platonic coded relationship with Cheng Xiaoshi ever?

Qiao Ling and her avoidance of uncomfortable feelings, the way she canonically called Cheng Xiaoshi her brother and is the only one able to connect with Xixi, how she's actually the only levelheaded character here? (Shee'sss sooo prettyyy I lovvee herrr)

Jujutsu Kaisen Hyperfixation

GIF by heycaz

As the name suggests, I am hyperfixated. I have also written essays analyzing these characters. Be very afraid. And/or come suffer with me /pos

Also also, for those who don't want to see any JJK smut, this blog should be safe for you! <3 I ship Satosugu but in a... transcend labels, queer platonic flavor sort of way. And I flipflop on itafushi. Either way they are soul mates and labels are just extra. Found family dynamics and everlasting friendships/comfort people are peak fiction for me.

"welcome!" the boys greeted as haruhi stepped into the club room - late, might i add. you came through holding some baskets of fruit, ignoring the mass of shirtless boys nearby.

"you finally made it, haruhi, you're so late," the twins teased monotonously.

"i could be wrong, but my calendar says it's still early spring," haruhi mumbled, checking her pocket calendar.

"cuddling under a kotatsu table fearing the cold is nonsense!" tamaki exclaimed while honey and mori ran around in the background. "and besides, the heating system we have here is... the best!"

"do you have a problem with the way we run our club, haruhi?" kyoya inquired. "be careful what you say, you owe us 8 million yen, remember?" haruhi gasped in surprise, thinking about the broken vase in horror.

"gentlemen don't bundle up in bulky clothing," you said, mimicking Tamaki, earning a chuckle from mori and kyoya and a laughing fit from honey and the twins. once more, mori set off with honey on his shoulders

"it may be chilly early spring out there in the real world, but here at the club, we want to surprise our chilly little kittens with a warm tropical paradise." tamaki wrapped an arm around haruhi. "oh, yes! we've turned this place into nirvana!" the longer tamaki spoke, the more club members zoned out. you finished placing the fruit on each member's table and went into the changerooms, finding your balinese outfit hanging on the wall.

────── 〔✿〕──────

you inwardly cringed at tamaki's successful attempts at swooning his guests.

"oh, yes. i almost forgot to mention to you ladies. next week, the ouran host club is sponsoring a party," tamaki commented.

"we're throwing a party?" haruhi asked, turning around.

"what kind of party is it going to be? is it going to be formal?" one of the twin's guests inquired.

"yes, in fact, we've rented the school's largest hall," hikaru responded.

"it's the perfect place for dancing," kaoru added.

hikaru moved closer to his brother, "but i really wanted to spend some alone time with you, kaoru."

"don't be upset, hikaru. i know exactly how you feel." at their interactions, their guests lost composure, fangirling over the dynamic.

"the guests seem to be more worked up than they usually are," haruhi noted.

"showing some skin proves popular with the ladies," kyoya replied, scribbling in his notebook.

"so, are you the one who came up with this tropical paradise idea?" she wondered.

"he has no decision-making authority. all of the club's policies have been laid out by the club's king, tamaki," you answered, standing beside haruhi. "but, i guess there's no harm in saying that kyoya slipped a bali photobook onto tamaki's desk."

"ta-da!" honey exclaimed, presenting his balinese flowers draped around his neck. "hi, ladies! i love these balinese flowers! we had them flown in!" mori walked past holding a pineapple. "takashi!" honey crawled up his cousin's body and threw an identical necklace over his head. "there! we match!"

"very cute, boys," you commented with a small smile.

"[name]! do you want one, too?" the shorter boy asked.

"oh, well..." you put a finger to your chin, "if you don't mind..." the guests sitting with the pair gushed over your actions as honey placed another necklace around your neck. as you were about to leave, mori tapped your shoulder, making you turn around once more. he gently placed a stray flower behind your ear and ruffled your hair with a nearly unnoticeable smile. "thanks, takashi!"

he hummed in response, "yeah."

────── 〔✿〕──────

"hey, boss! why don't you stop eating that commoner's ramen and come over here to help us with the party planning," hikaru suggested.

"does it really bother you that princess kasuga has taken a liking to haruhi?" you asked gently.

"he shouldn't be surprised, she's had the illness for a while, now, hasn't she?" kyoya commented.

"what illness?" haruhi wondered, causing the twins to slide over to her.

"she's got the host hopping disease," hikaru began.

"a.k.a, the never-the-same-boy-twice disease," kaoru finished.

"usually our customers choose a favourite host and then see them regularly. however, princess kanako tends to change her favourites; on a regular basis," kyoya explained monotonously.

"that's right! because before she was with you she was with tama-chan," honey added cheerfully.

"oh. so, he's upset because i took her from him?" haruhi asked blankly.

"shut up! i couldn't care less! i'm running out of patience!" tamaki exclaimed. "haruhi! it's time you started dressing like a girl!"

"huh?"

"i don't understand how you could be so popular with the ladies when you yourself are a lady! no one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here!" he complained, completely outraged.

"yeah, she opted out of taking gym classes," hikaru said.

"and the attendance numbers are all mixed together, so no one can tell," kaoru added.

you jumped when tamaki suddenly pulled out a middle school photo of haruhi in a large golden frame. "the more i look at this picture, the more amazed i am," hikaru commented. "how could this possibly become that?" the entire club turned to haruhi as she explained the struggles of getting gum out of long hair.

"i can confirm. it is a pain," you said, turning to mori and gently taking his hand in yours to grab his attention. he turned to face you, squeezing your hand lightly to signify he was listening. "i've got to head home, now. fill me in when things get sorted out?"

"mhm," he replied, releasing your hand as you went to gather your things.

────── 〔✿〕──────

you opened the doors to the club, followed by a boy carrying tea sets.

"hello? i'm here with the new teacups you ordered," the boy announced.

"ah. thank you very much," kyoya responded. "every item you've chosen for us has been extremely popular with the ladies. i'm quite impressed."

"well, that's good to hear," the boy answered.

"so, do you sell tea sets?" haruhi questioned, walking over to the pair.

"no, i'm just a regular student. can't you tell by the uniform?"

you eyed them as they conversed, returning to your station you had temporarily set up to finish the doll you'd been working on. softly combing through the synthetic hair, you began sticking it onto the head that was covered in glad wrap. from afar, mori watched as you created the wig that would later be properly attached to the doll. oddly enough, he didn't recognise the hair colour as a guest of yours, or anyone's, really. pulling up a chair beside you, he noticed a small mp3 player beside you, and a single earbud tucked into your ear. taking the other, he scooted closer to you and put the earbud in his ear, watching in silence as you worked.

"aren't you gonna participate in whatever antics are going on with the others?" you wondered, gently laying more wefts of hair onto the scalp of the blank doll, not taking your eyes off your work.

"hm," he responded, and though it was only a short hum, you knew he wasn't interested in tamaki's scheming, or in this case, sulking. "who's this?"

you turned to him briefly, taking in the gentle gaze that he seemed to always hold for yourself and honey before turning back to your work. "just a random project, it's nothing specific." mori arched an eyebrow almost microscopically at your hesitance, but didn't question further. his eyes seemed to brighten as a new song came on, one that you often listened to when the both of you would study together in comfortable silence, though while it tended to bring a smile to his face at the thought of all the memories and times you'd spent together, he couldn't help but notice a distant - almost sad - look in your eyes as you worked.

glancing at the drawing you'd done as a concept, he observed the various blemishes and chips along the doll's body. of course, he knew you'd paint them on, you would never dare destroy the doll's body itself, that was absolute sacrilege in your mind. the longer he looked at it, the more he found that the texture you'd shaded onto the skin on your concept drawing looked a lot like concrete, or even bone with how broken the doll seemed to look. and yet, there was only one thing that seemed to come to mind for him.

"beautiful."

your gaze flicked to him and you quickly realised what he was referring to. what you'd been working on was far from your usual style, since the girls at the host club often wanted to be portrayed the most heavenly as possible, flawless in every way, and though you knew mori would be one of your biggest supporters - alongside family and honey - his reaction still surprised you.

"thank you, takashi," you said, allowing him to keep looking over your sketch, fully taking in all the detail that the host club's guests didn't allow for and a gentle smile graced his lips at the thought of you being able to use this design to refresh your skills in painting, but he'd made a mental note to come back to the forlorn look behind your eyes.

"it is so good to see you here tonight, my little lambs," tamaki began, "the ouran host club would like to bid you... welcome." a spotlight fell upon his figure as he bowed for the audience gathered in one of the academy's biggest halls. then, one by one, each chandelier that hung from the ceiling lit up, showing the crowd of predominantly women, and cueing the orchestra to begin playing. as applause reverberated through the room, the hosts that were placed on equal intervals on the staircase rose to full height, tamaki being top and centre.

"as always, ladies, the host club members are here for your entertainment, so we invite you to dance to your heart's content. based on her dancing skills, one lucky lady will be chosen as tonight's queen. the queen's reward will be a passionate kiss on the cheek from our king," kyoya explained, oddly chipper considering the expenses necessary to put on such a function.

"good luck to you, my darlings," tamaki said, causing girls left and right to swoon and squeal, in some cases faint.

the twins slid over to haruhi, who was hunched over herself and looking rather sick of it already, not that she could be blamed. "haruhi, show some enthusiasm," they chided.

"well excuse me, you guys, sorry. i'm not used to this sort of thing," haruhi explained, "i've only ever gone to the festivals held in my neighborhood park."

"i don't know if you can really consider that a party or not..." you mumbled to yourself, standing beside a mori with a honey sitting atop his shoulders.

"well, since you're already here you might as well get yourself something to eat," kyoya suggested, writing in his iconic black notebook.

"we've got quite a spread," you encouraged, which seemed to cheer haruhi up just a little bit.

"a spread?" she asked, "with fancy tuna?" she asked innocently. kyoya's pen snapped - god knows how much strength that took - and the whole club seemed shocked.

"fancy tuna?!" they exclaimed. tamaki flipped himself over the stairs onto the level the rest of the club were standing on as haruhi went red with embarrassment, getting snuggled by both hikaru and kaoru, who were rubbing their cheeks against her hair with tears in their eyes.

"get some fancy tuna here right now!" tamaki demanded.

"add some deluxe sushi," kyoya spoke into his phone.

you sighed at their doting. "now that that's out of the way... you boys should head onto the dance floor. you shouldn't keep these lovely ladies waiting," you said.

as they separated and took the hands of various women waiting for a dance, you hid away in the dressing room, setting up the supplies that hikaru and kaoru had brought and making sure haruhi's dress was properly steamed and ready to go.

"thanks, [name]," a chorus of voices said, making you turn to face the hosts, bar tamaki, mori and honey.

"no problem, i'm assuming kasuga has arrived?" you wondered.

"mori-senpai and honey-senpai should be bringing haruhi now-"

just as kyoya spoke, a whirlwind of bodies came through the door and mori set down haruhi from his grasp.

"you didn't have to be so forceful," haruhi complained.

"never mind that, go get changed," hikaru retorted.

"yeah!" honey added, pushing haruhi into the curtained off section for her to change.

"a little accident towards the end of the night would be quite thrilling," kyoya commented, "and remember haruhi, there are only 20 minutes remaining before the party reaches its climax."

"suzushima is already waiting for you in the classroom across the hall," you informed.

as haruhi pulled back the curtain and sat in the makeup chair, you gently folded her suit, making sure it was neat for when she changed back.

"you have to ask him how he feels, ok?" honey said.

"uhhh, we know this is the boss' strategy, but it's kind of unsettling," the twins stated, working their magic onto haruhi's face until the doors burst open once again.

"gentlemen! here you all are, what are you doing?" tamaki exclaimed, "the guests are waiting for-" he abruptly stopped talking when he caught sight of haruhi, donning a lovely light pink dress and wig eerily similar to the hairstyle she had before she cut her hair.

"so? what do you think?" the twins asked, happy with their handiwork.

"wow, you look so cute!" honey complimented as the club watched haruhi walk awkwardly around the room.

"my face feels heavy and it's hard to walk in these shoes," she complained, heading down the hall to meet suzushima.

"good luck, haruhi!" the twins cheered, watching her disappear down the dark unlit corridors.

"i can't believe... she's so pretty," tamaki mumbled, staring in adoration from behind the twins.

you sighed and stood by honey, turning him to face you gently as you smoothed out his blazer. "there, all cute again," you said, giving him a smile.

"thanks [nickname]-chan!"

as you inspected mori, you did the same, gently tugging on the bottom of his blazer to straighten any crinkles from impromptu kidnapping haruhi. "takashi," you muttered, eyeing his wonky ribbon tie. understanding your request, he knelt down for you to reach it, letting you shift it enough to centre it again. "look at you, all stoic and handsome," you teased as he stood again.

he smiled lightly at the gesture. "hm."

────── 〔✿〕──────

yourself and the host club smiled as you onlooked kasuga and suzushima dance together under the pale moonlight, as did the guests, though you couldn't help but notice the bananas that the twins had somehow sourced for themselves.

"ah, may this awkward couple forever be blessed!" tamaki exclaimed, extending his arms out extravagantly.

"and now we'll announce the queen of the ball!" hikaru began.

"congratulations princess kanako kasugazaki!" kaoru finished, earning a loud applause from the guests.

"and for her reward, a kiss on the cheek from the king!" hikaru reminded.

tamaki brought his arms in, placing a hand under his chin in a tick shape. "you ready?" he asked flirtatiously.

"haruhi fujioka will stand in for tamaki!" kaoru said, shocking both haruhi and tamaki.

"kyoya did say that a little accident towards the end of the night might make the evening more thrilling for everyone," the twins added in unison as tamaki looked between them relentlessly.

"there's no way i can kiss her," haruhi grumbled.

"if you do it, we'll cut your debt by one third," kyoya bribed.

"well it is just a peck on the cheek..."

as haruhi descended the stairs, honey brought up an odd thought. "hey, you don't think this is haru-chan's first kiss, do you?"

"what?" tamaki asked breathlessly. as haruhi gently cupped kasuga's face, tamaki came charging towards them. "wait, haruhi!" but in classic hitachiin twin fashion, a banana peel had been left on the stairway for tamaki to slip on, accidentally pushing haruhi and kasuga into a proper kiss, shocking suzushima and the two girls, who quickly jumped away from each other and ignored tamaki, who lay flat on the floor.

the squeals of girls deafened everyone's ears, but you were soon distracted by that as honey jumped onto mori, opting to sit on his shoulders again. you glanced at them innocently as they smiled down at you and mori's hand came to rest on your shoulder as you onlooked the scene below.

I love it!

Reader is a cat at heart, and their mutation is a feral cat one. They have sharp claws, little fangs, a short or long tail, they have bright yellow/green eyes, they love meat, and they knock things over as a game. They like pets, but only certain people can pet them, and no one else can pet them when they're not in the mood.

They also like to nap in the sunshine. They have tried catnip, it causes them to run around the mansion at 3:00am breaking everything and meowing loudly, and now everyone has sworn not to give them catnip again. Reader likes to curl up with the other ferals, and also Morph, Gambit, and Jubilee. Reader's chill with them.

(This was a great ask, milkbean! I hope you have a great day! Thank you!)
