If megumi asked uzhsjdhshd omg I totally see it tbh him wanting you, but I don't think megumi would ever ask yuuji to share you, in any type of way at all. (not trying to push my own hc here!!) I feel like yuuji himself would be the one asking megumi. Yuuji knows that he's yours just as much as he knows you're his. And he loves you too much, a lot, it's purest type of love he has ever felt for anyone. And megumi is his best friend, he loves him just as much, right? Yes, not the same love between you and him ofc but yes. And I have no idea what they were doing but yuuji's just says, kind of out of the blue, that he'd let megumi fuck you. The reason being exactly cause he knows you're his, and you're just so so good that he needs to have someone to talk to (about you and always so respectfully) and who better that his best friend?

you’re opening the pandora’s box that is itfs + reader…. god….. 

okok i agree. if you’re dating yuuji, megumi would never ask, yuuji would be the one to bring all three of you together. definitely because he loves you and you’re his, and he loves megumi too, so it just makes sense that his two favorite people also get to have each other—but also, yuuji can tell megumi likes you, and he can tell you think megumi is attractive and since yuuji’s so nice, what kinder thing to do than to set you two up so he can watch (: he definitely enjoys being the mediator, also enjoys the somewhat awkward air between you and megumi, how yeah, maybe it’s a little taboo that the two of you are about to make out while you’re boyfriend watches, but yuuji likes that too… also he likes knowing that you both like him. like how lucky is he that his best friend and his girlfriend adore him so much :(( you two together makes so much sense in his head, because he talks to megumi about you, and he talks to you about megumi, and now, he can just pour all his love for both of you out at the same time

but also…. i’d like to think that yuuji’s maybe not so nice when it’s the other way around—when he and megumi get together first, and you’re megumi’s best friend. he’s not mean, but he does like to tease... how naughty of megumi to ask out yuuji knowing he’s still got a crush on you, and god does yuuji like to tease him about it :/ jerks him off and taunts about how he knows megumi’s dirty little secret—that he’s in love with his best friend and fantasizes not just about having you, but about watching his own boyfriend fuck you too… 

yuuji knows megumi would take his feelings for you to the grave if he could (he’d have done the same with his feelings for yuuji if yuuji wasn’t the one to ask him out), but where’s the fun in that! you and megumi are sooo cute together after all, so yuuji doesn’t mind trying to get you two to confess to each other too. uses his proximity to megumi to get closer to you, takes advantage of his bubbly disposition to be physically affectionate with you, uses megumi’s feelings to his advantage to tease, to wink, to smirk whenever you and yuuji hug a little longer, when he texts megumi that he’s meeting up with you for lunch, when he gives you his jacket and doesn’t ask for it back… there’s so much fun in watching megumi blush and whine and get off at the thought of his best friend and his boyfriend together. and the thing is, yuuji genuinely does like you, too, he sees what megumi sees in you, and he thinks megumi is crazy to have not asked you out before, but he supposes everything happens for a reason, because now, this way, yuuji gets to be there and watch it all happen under his guidance. there’s something about the power, about being the bridge between you two even though you and megumi have known each other for much longer, about being in control of a dynamic that could have, but wouldn’t exist without him…

first book of 2025 lol

aight so i mentally wrote a post as i was reading a book (kindred finally reading? in the year of our lord 2025? more likely than u think) about how my beloved sunshine characters always die too soon and much too agonisingly but i found the sequel online and everything has been thrown out the window im going feral pls stand by

read the copy of we hunt the flame that has been sitting on my shelf for about 4 years now lol. not a fan of YA but i enjoyed more than i thought i would so here we are!

still reading book 2 but so far i think im enjoying it more than the first, in terms of pacing lore all of it really lol. since its fantasy inspired by ancient arabia i had a great time while reading the ancient tongue that was literally just arabic lmao. not all of it tho but its fun ngl

anyway deen is the most husband material to ever exist i love him he deserved so much better im so sorry my dude. for the friendzone and untimely death alike. if only u knew how much ur memory plagues ur beloved

as soon as i finished the first book at 4am this morning i looked up the sequel online and found it and im dying nasir is such a fuckin SIMP and im so here for it. hes so baby girl and the amount of self loathing nourishes me like the hearts do magic. hes just like me frfr

altair u bastard i love you and i hate u you also deserved so much better pls pls pls dont do what i fear u might be doing.

theres a happy ending im going to sob into my pillow

also lana!!!!!! im so happy shes (so far) so much more involved in the book :D only like 11 chapters in since the morning and im convulsing already

please please let them all be happy my heart cant take the devastation the 600+ pages most likely hold lmao please :')

just realised this isnt much of a coherent review but this all i got for now, might reblob eventually with analyses or sum late well see :3

EDIT: severe altair angst fics oh my poor sweet child of light :') BeesKnees bless you for writing this i am in so much pain rn

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

hey guess what. you’ll never believe this. agatha show? ended stupid. kathryn hahn and aubrey plaza kissed for real tho.

[eleanorfenyxwrites]

Absolutely fucking wild to me that there's only 2 chapters left to post of The Man From Y.I.L.I.N.G. Like Jess and I worked so hard and so long on this fic - the one that started it all! - and I've actually been so incredibly super busy during the posting of it that I had to queue all of it up ahead of time and have been very hands-off during the actual posting of it in a way I'm usually not, but don't worry, I of course still eagerly read every comment as they come in 😂 But this means that by this time next week the main fic will be completely posted! MADNESS

my mom who says she hates horror and violence in movies made me watch movies like from dusk till dawn, seven, pulp fiction and saw when i was a child and now she wonders why i love horror and violence in movies as an adult like……. ok.

It’s me again and not only did my brother call Kuukou a ketchup bottle but he absolutely destroyed Hitoya and Jyushi. 😭😭 He saw Hitoya do a backflip, asked me how old he was, and said “Bros bones are gone….disintegrated. He’s not coming back from that” I told him he’s a lawyer and he said “If he was my lawyer I would tell the judge to give me the longest sentence no court case needed. He’s NOT gonna be my lawyer with that pompadour” then with Jyushi he said “I don’t need to know anything about him. Just looking at him I could probably guess everything about him” The only positive thing he said was that he liked Sasara’s hair. 😭😭😭😭😭

i wish i could clap back but ruito-san was actually too cool for hitoya lol throwback to when hitoya twisted his ankle just walking lmao 😭😭😭

liking sasara’s clown ass hair only feels like a fcking op tho i’m sorry LOL

i know it's past halloween when i'm posting this, but as a vildia shipper i've been thinking a lot about what vil and idia would do together for halloween--ignoring the existence of the halloween event that we already have--and since i imagine them getting together post-book 6, when ortho has joined the film club and idia is trying to be a better brother to him and be less of a shut-in overall, i think it's a lot of fun to imagine the two of them taking him trick-or-treating!!

i think ortho has tried to get idia to take him trick-or-treating before, but every year idia always says no because he thinks going around to a bunch of rando's houses to get candy is scary, lame, and pointless (they can literally just buy candy at the store, after all!) and he has too many special halloween events to play in his video games anyway. so one day during a film club meeting a few weeks before halloween, ortho offhandedly mentions this, saying he's always wished idia would take him trick-or-treating, and vil decides to talk to idia about it. it actually doesn't take much for idia to agree that yes, it is wrong of him to stay in his room all day when his little brother wants to spend time with him on a holiday, and he absolutely should do it this year, no matter how nervous the thought of it makes him.

he asks vil to come with them, and vil initially says no because as much as he enjoys the aesthetic of halloween, he has a certain reputation and image as a celebrity that does not include doing such childish activities at the age of 18. but idia gets him to change his mind by convincing him that, actually, a lot of his fans would love to see photos and videos of him taking a little kid trick-or-treating because it would be gap moe! a term which vil understands without explanation thanks to idia--and he can see how such a thing just might actually be good for his image, simply by making him seem less otherworldly and unrelatable. so, he agrees, and the three of them spend the next several weeks trying to make their costumes absolutely perfect.

they really go all out, and they have a ton of fun with it. idia's costume has a mask that he keeps on at pretty much all times, so that keeps him from being nearly as nervous as he thought he'd be... except for when ortho gets so excited that he tries to just blast off from house to house without him or vil. but, he and vil both are incredibly happy to see that ortho is so happy, and throughout the night idia's ego gets inflated from all the compliments the three of them get on their costumes, and he and vil constantly exchange snarky comments under their breath about the quality and craftsmanship, or lack thereof, of the costumes and decorations they come across. they collect tons of candy and idia makes sure to add a special attachment to ortho's gear to allow him to actually eat it. vil started thinking he was too old for trick-or-treating a long time ago, but he ends up being pretty glad he went, especially when he sees all of the positive reactions from his fans on magicam.

i also think that before and after the trick-or-treating, ortho would hang out and do halloween stuff with his fellow first years while idia and vil take some time for themselves! the first thing they would do is that idia would introduce vil to one of his favorite survival horror video games, one that has a 2-player co-op mode, and vil might take a bit to get the hang of it but would ultimately really enjoy playing the game with idia.

later at night, they cuddle up and have a bit of a halloween movie marathon. based on idia's love of pumpkin hollow, he's definitely into horror movies, and i also think vil is as well, since he was directing a gothic horror for the film club in silver's PE uniform vignette and then based pomefiore's halloween costumes on gothic horror aesthetics. so, vil would get idia to watch his favorite classic gothic horror film, idia would force vil to watch pumpkin hollow (which vil did not think he would enjoy based on idia's description of its story, but by the end, while he still found it a bit silly, he was able to admire its craftsmanship and creativity and see why idia loved it so much), and then they decide to wind down and watch something more lighthearted. they pick howl's moving castle and idia compares howl to vil several times during the movie, which vil briefly gets annoyed by but then uses as an opportunity to tease idia back.

honestly, the last immortal would've improved by 1000% if the directors had done more cool and dramatic cinematography?? the show felt a little bland at some points but it's because the shots were just so...normal. this isn't a modern drama, this is a xianxia!! with magical beings and creatures and power!! should've given us more badass scenes!!!!!

the camera: :|

Do you know a character I'd love to see in Good Omens? Lilith.

[daylighteclipsed]

ngl the more I hear about Wish, the more excited I get about it

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

really frustrated because of work so heres an idea.

why isnt there a lumity bodyguard au?

see below the cut for infodumping segment

the blights have been prone to being the isles' best scientists and inventors. having been in a business for years that generationally grew their wealth to a household standarized name.

everyone from here to there knows of them, however mysteriously alador ends up in a fatal accident.

leaving amity with the project he'd been working on for years. never finding results despite his incredulous breakthrough just before his death.

of which would jeopardize the emperor and all too well feed into the resistance's urge to overthrow his iron ruled fist.

being sent from the resistance, unbeknownst to amity herself, luz's one mission: protect the project and amity's welllbeing.

its said by agent clawthorne that two men want to have the last of the blight heir gone. hunter and william. if not for agent park, the two team up to secure blight manor.

willow taking on the name [pilot willow's name] and luz, lucia. being nothing more than a chef and a bodyguard.

blah blah blah i have no idea im just word dumping and this is stupid lol. but why isnt there any lumity bodyguard aus </3. anyway i enjoy like a uhhh- ....forbidden? ew. nono. like an undercover romance type of thing. i dont exactly have like a clean pitch of this idea bc im just doing it on the fly BUT HEAR ME OUT IT COULD BE SO FUN!!!
