kakashi and itachi are such girl dads🥰🥰🥰 the thought of these two with a daughter theyre unable to say not to spoiling makes me so soft. imagining how soft itachi would be for his baby🥰 i doubt kakashi would get pregnant at all but he seems like he might adopt or take in someone hes really fond of (if not take her in hed probably give her extra paternal attention)

how would these two react to realizing their baby is growing up? from simple things like she stands up for herself for the first time, or she insists on doing something by herself. who would find themselves crying either to themselves or to their alpha? would either of them be ready to watch their baby grow up?

both seem like theyd internalize their heartbreak thoughts?

I can't really see this with Kakashi tbh, but this whole ask is so very Itachi coded!!!

I think that non-massacre Itachi wanted a lot more children than he was able to have in the end. His ideal number being 3-4, maybe 5, and his actual number being 2 with a larger age gap.

So especially with his youngest, Itachi celebrates and then mourns every passing milestone because he's so proud of his baby, but she's growing up so fast and he's never going to experience another moment when he child says their first word or takes their first steps.

He doesn't cry, especially at first, because you're right he internalises the pain as ridiculous. He has two healthy babies that he loves more than life itself, crying over impossible futures that won't come to pass is ridiculous! But he sometimes withdraws a little from the sadness, despite his best efforts to put it out of his mind, and it's up to his alpha to give him and their daughter lots of snuggles and reassurances.

Remind him how good of a parent he is, take over some of his chores for the evening so he can play with his babies uninterrupted, and then cuddle him to sleep, that will make him feel a lot better.

Non-massacre Sasuke doesn't want any children, but if he ended up with one for whatever reason, Itachi would take them in in a heartbeat, no questions.

I think if Kakashi ever had a daughter figure that he was mentoring or whatever, every milestone makes him incredibly proud and incredibly relieved that he doesn't have to deal with whatever they just learnt how to do anymore lol.

Kakashi is grateful for everyday that passes, bringing with it more maturity and hopefully less stress for him to deal with.

I'm sorry but for your Gen2 au (which is very silly might I add, pls make more for me to feast upon /silly) all I can imagine is the OG's pulling up and everyone being in utter shock as the toon people from 20 yrs ago most likely assumed to be fucking dead just showing up randomly. I feel as though this would be terrifying for the employees and saddening to the old toons who just randomly found out they were not only abandoned but fuckin replaced bro </3 Erm anyways, sorry for my dumb little ramble in ur inbox </3 -🎩⭐

GAVAJSVJSA THIS IS TRUE. Honestly though for one i dont think that the employees would notice immediately...

kind of a scuffed explanation, i may scrap it because its a bit of a stretch (to me at least) but heres the thing: the new toons arent made of real ichor, BUT for now im going to say that gardenview still wanted to continue pulling ichor from underground and also from their old facility in hopes that they can slowly build up their supply and recreate their success one day. the gen2 toons are made of false ichor which is highly inefficient (more on that in another post) so they dont use it for the toons i think theyre just stockpiling it

HOWEVER since the old facility is flooded with the stuff and thats where they were getting ichor to begin with they made a reaaaally long tunnel (since they had to distance themselves from the original location) from the old gardenview to the new one... Intended just for pipes and some poor unlucky employee whos hired to do routine matenince on said pipes. a few golf carts on both ends to speed things up and extras in case any of them broke down so that employees wouldnt get trapped in there and have to walk. Almost everything was done underground around the facility itself since they wanted to minimize all risk of more people getting killed by the gen1 toons who were still all twisted,, the few enterances they had to make into the building were done very carefully, disguised with the surroundings, and locked so that no twisted would get through.

When they did finally get un-twisted (AGH again i will elaborate in another post because i have ideas on this now) the gen1 toons had their minds cleared and thus they realized that some parts of the facility looked a little fishy and wound up finding the enterances to the new gardenview. Split everyone up on a few golf carts, one person holding the wheel and one on the pedal because theyre short with everyone else clinging on for dear life and theyre OUTTA THERE!!!

If they were to be spotted by the company at any point, theyd be killed. If they even knew the gen1 toons were ALIVE itd be dangerous. the gen1 toons dont know this as theyre escaping ofc but i needed to find a way where they wouldnt get immediately screwed because a crowd of 20 brightly colored cartoon characters walking through new york isnt exactly discreet LOL

ANYWAYS all thats to say once they finally get to the new facility, yes, the gen2 toons are shocked, but they didnt even know they werent the first ones (except maybe watson because hes a nosy little bugger but even then its probably just something he heard briefly mentioned and it never got elaborated upon). They all still realized "Oh Shit if we dont do anything gardenviews gonna fucking kill them" so they did their best to help the gen1ers hide from the employees GVDLFNGLG

There was once or twice where an employee caught one of the gen1 toons but also the company spent WAY too much time and money keeping that whole incident under wraps and trying to wipe the entire old facility's existence off the face of the planet sooo a lot of the employees dont even recognize the toons. Weren't born in that generation or just never heard of them. they just see this funny looking fish bowl and think "huh when did they make another one"

that almost hurts even more though </3 not only were they replaced but they werent missed. Nobody is remembering them fondly, wondering where they are, worrying for them, wishing they were back... theyve just been replaced with all these seemingly perfect toons and they almost died 20 times each just to see that theres new people living their lives and living them Better

TYSM ANON!!!! <333 Never worry about rambling in my askbox i enjoy it X] (especially when its about my own au. yknow GBXKFBFK)

[moomeecore]

so nobody asked but ive been working on fixing up the hair of the ponies in my mlp collection and as a result have been inspired to look for more, and somewhere along the way i arrived upon the opinion that hasbro did NOT fully utilize their market w the ponies they made - specifically with brushables! bc like, the 6" brushables are The g4 toy, right? The default, the basic. so you'd assume they'd make one for all the characters that are particularly popular, right? no. they didn't pay enough attention or something, and so here is my list of ponies that SHOULD have had 6" brushables and i personally think they missed a huge opportunity by not doing that (esp since they made so many toy-exclusive ponies ugh.) yes i told you nobody asked . anyway

carrot top: this is a big one, bc she might not have been the most popular background pony, but she was one people latched onto early bc of her unique design, and people would have absolutley bought toys for her. theres litterally a fanmade song JUST about carrot top. also, perhaps more importantly, her color scheme is cute and she's perfect for a toy, especially if they went the extra mile and gave her extra curly hair (which they probably wouldnt tbh). all the carrot top fan made brushables look super cool - her design translates well

roseluck: again, she was one of the earliest background ponies that fans started to get attached to. theres also the subset of dr. whooves fans who think of roseluck as the equialent of rose from doctor who, and that's a whole group of people who have extra intrest in the character

minuette: she has a unique design that would stand out, is another early established background pony - and in later seasons she even got a proper episode role! as an 11 year old child i started using colgate toothpaste because people made jokes about how minuette was the color of colgate toothpaste. if she had that much grip on my mind as a child im sure she did for plenty of others.

amythest star: again, she got a proper episode role eventually, so why is there no brushable for her? especially since she has such a cute purple color pallete. it would probably translate great into a toy

moondancer: cannot beleive they didn't take this oppurtunity honestly. she has such a good color scheme for a toy, first of all. but also the version of her in fim has a cute little sweater and glasses they could sell as accessories. and theyd have extra interest from collectors and nostalgic individuals because she was also in g1. people would be posting pics of their g1 and g4 moondancers together. thats the world we'd live in. it would be 0.00001% better.

cloudkicker and flitter: first off, they could have sold them as a pair that go together, and it would have been so cute. second off, they have such distinct designs its wild that they weren't singled out as brushable potentials. also the toys they did make of them weren't even good so they owe us.

lotus blossom: she has a cute name and color scheme and is a notable background pony and she even has pink! but! ok i lied she does have a brushable but ONLY a ponymania one. and yes some of the ponymania designs were good, but MOST of them were ass, include lotus blossom's. and like, the thing with weird decals on ponies is you can wipe them off or paint over them. but for ponymania lotus blossom, she's got decals around her eyes. so it would be such a pain in the ass. they should just have a normal one noone should have to deal with that . it's even on both eyes!! as featured below

fleur de lis: hasbro loved making fake toy-only alicorns, and they're obsessed with making the ponies pink. so why tf didnt they make a toy for the white and pink unicorn with a princess body type. thats like a show-compliant way for them to do their favorite things. shes girly shes pretty shes tall shes pink. why does she not have a brushable. they could have litterally just re-used a cadence mold!

sugar belle: so ik a lot of ppl dropped off the show within the span of seasons 4-6 (i did too for a while), but know that sugar belle ends up becoming a very much reoccuring character. she marries big mac. shes part of the apple family now. and no, she dosen't have a goddamn brushable doll. applejack voice what in the hay

surprise: idk if they are allowed to call her that but the white and yellow wonderbolt is called "suprise" by fans because of the obvious resemblance to g1 surprise (who hasbro i think lost the rights to??? somehow????) making a toy of her could be a sneaky way to pander to g1 fans, which would go over SUPER well with multi-gen collectors and also be good nostolgia bait. the only issue is they'd prooobably give her a wonderbolts outfit painted on like they did with spitfire and A. painted on outfits on mlp dolls almost universally look like shit B. g1 suprise was not a wonderbolt, bc those didnt exist yet. so if the wonderbolts attire was non-removable it would break the immersion of a g1 tie-in. they could just, you know, not paint on her outfit or not give her one but i think that might be too big of an ask for hasbro since they loooove painting ugly designs on mlp brushables

sunshine smiles and moonlight raven: so obviously, these two would be sold as a pair. they arent very popular but i think their designs are so universally good that both collectors and children would like them.

florina tart: again she's not super popular but i think her design would translate well. also they gave her her own blind bag mold, so i assume if she was considered marketable enough for that, then they could have done well with brushables of her. also her general aesthetic opens the door for cute accessories.

[bishiglomper]

It blows my mind when i hear about people who dont do their jobs. Like they skate by just enough management doesnt notice but the coworkers obviously do.

I cant get a fuckin job because I can only function at best in a 2 hour block at a time (4 when i considered myself doing good). Employers take one look at that like uh. No? lol

i am one of those people who cant morally half ass anything. If i accept a task im gonna do it to the best of my ability even if its crap.

Lol the one time i tried a job i found out i couldn't pull the carts. Literally watched someone start after me and make it back for another load before i even made it to the drop off. and it hurt the whole time. And like. I would be okay continuing to do that but i would prefer to be. Somewhere i could do something else more efficiently with my limited energy.

Whereas someone else would probably make themselves scarce. Just because they didnt want to bother. And I cant just lie and say "yes i can totally do all these things, im a perfect functioning human being" because i possibly might not be able to and i am not.

Like seriously i need permission to not try to kill myself. I went in the next day to say I struggled with some aspects and instead of "oh sure lets just fill something else with that task block" it was "Welp. If you can't do your job, then bYE"

If I werent so autistic I think a reasonable response would have been to keep my mouth shut and be like "okay i just wont do that thing anyway. Or I'll just go work it out with the coworkers" but noooo fuckin brain wont run that way

Niece has been telling me about a co-worker who's literally paid more to be more helpful and do all the extra training bits someone might need. And they foist all the extra little responsibilities on their coworkers and then take off early.

Told us about another who is just so bad at their job. Sending out cold raw food. Doing something after being reminded not to do a thing 3x before doing the thing. Her coworkers begged her to stay just long enough for the person to be comfortable in the thought of leaving because theyd rather be understaffed than deal with their extra work

Fucking hell. I might be a disabled blob but I'd still be better quality than some of these people out there. But that doesn't show up on paper or whatever

txt laying in between your thighs

genre: fluff, a smiggen of suggestive with jun

pairing: txt x reader

word count: 880+

♡ — CHOI YEONJUN

bro he would be in HEAVEN every single time he lays in between your thighs

mans does it like every chance he gets

hes always loved laying on your lap so he started getting creative and thought on ways he could get more intimate with you and bOom

now he literally just chills there like every 5 seconds

you once decided to take a video literally just for yourself and the 6th sense hes developed from being filmed all the time kinda said “hEllO!!” and he turned his head with a raised brow just to find you recording him

so he literally smIRKED and turned his head and playfully bit the inside of your thighs andndowidiwofkkwrjkw

it got real spicy after that

he pulled out the babygirl/boy/person

like fUCK

yeah yeonjun in between your thighs is 50/50

he either falls asleep or it leads to some ✨extra activities ✨

rest of the boys under the cut !

♡ — CHOI SOOBIN

omgjsifkskf

hed be so in love with the idea you don’t even understand

hed definitely be quite shy at first tho and you’d have to ease him into it a little bit more than with jun for example

but once he got comfortable with the idea it was a regular occurrence

he thought it was literal perfection

your soft thighs around his head in a non sexual way simply for comfort ????

hes like yes pls hit me uP !!

but soobin would also love the idea of you in between his thighs

he got them nice ass legs and seeing your pretty lil head and having the easiest access to play with your hair is a 10/10 experience for both of you i’m telling you

soobin is just really comfy in every way possible

and this just adds to it

it probably wouldn’t lead to anything spicy like with jun but if one of you were in the mood then it might

but usually it’s done simply for comfort !

♡ — CHOI BEOMGYU

oh shit here we go

he saw this trend on tiktok, came up to you, shoved the phone in front of your face and then dragged you to the couch

after almost dislocating your shoulder he pushed you down and got himself all comfy in between your thighs

the sigh he released on my-

it’s like it was his first time laying down after years of not being able to do so like damn chill bro

so i think we can all gather that beomgyu is very very happy in that position

personally i think he likes thighs a lot like every shape and size we don’t discriminate here

and laying in between them ?? hello sir

he will force you to play with his hair 100%

he will force you to take pictures and set it as your everything

idk man he’ll force you to send it to him too and he’d set it as smth on his phone too

he will 100% kiss the inside of your thighs once in a while and run his fingers up and down the skin

hed also love it sm more if your legs were bare but he doesn’t mind if they’re not

♡ — KANG TAEHYUN

he was a lil bit ??? when you showed him the video and was kinda like uhm why-

but after he did it a few times he was like oh it’s not so bad

and ended up falling asleep in said position more times than you could count

i think that him and hyuka would prefer to just lay on your lap instead

idk he would still like it but he’d be kinda like what’s the point i have your lap and it looks less indecent y’know ??

but i feel like if you’re really upset and this makes you happier hed be more willing to do it

or if hes really really stressed or tired and it’s just the first place he ends up it’ll happen

but usually 9/10 times if hes going to be laying on you it’ll be most likely on either your lap or his head in the crook of your neck y’know

i think for the younger boys theyd just prefer smth less “provocative” so theres not much i could write about them

♡ — HUENING KAI

like i mentioned before hed do it once or twice and that’s about it

it’s just a lil much for him to handle rn so he’d only do it if you asked super nicely, bought him some good food and a new plushie

not saying he didn’t enjoy it bc honestly it was quite nice but

it’s just a lil much

hyuka is much more comfortable laying in your lap and talking about his day while squeezing his plushie in his arms while you hum every few mins acknowledging his words and playing with his pretty hair

that’s smth he prefers a lot more

so up until you guys grow up a bit more and he gets more comfortable with things like that i don’t really see it happening

so just stick to normal cuddles and lap laying !

[h2bakugou]

Hey sweetie, love ur work, was wondering if u could do a hc for some of the boys (mainly bakugou) of how theyd react to their s/o who struggles to get their words out and stutters a bit and gets insecure wen ppl laugh xx

a/n: hii!! tysm <3 of course!! i decided to do the main three for this one!! 

headcanon: them with an s/o who struggles to get their words out

key: (y/n) - your name / (f/n) - first name / (l/n) - last name / (e/c) - eye color / (h/c) - hair color / (y/q) - your quirk

warnings: fluff, swearing

;cut for length;

»»————-　★　————-««

katsuki bakugou

»»————-　★　————-««

Bakugou picks up on your habit fairly quickly. You tend to stay pretty quiet.

But when you’re alone and you do speak, he notices sometimes you struggle to get your words out.

You like to use short words/phrases often.

He doesn’t ask questions, he just assumes it’s normal-and it is.

However, he begins to wonder why you’re always so quiet.

That’s not until some rival school meets up for a training battle and a couple of dipshits start making fun of your stutter.

“Spit it out already!”

“I-I-I can’t understand you!”

They mock and tease you as you try to communicate with the team you’ve been partnered with. Oh how royally fucked they were because Bakugou, you’re boyfriend, was right beside you.

“You fucking idiots!” He yelled, charging toward them, sending huge explosions off in their direction.

“Leave them the fuck alone!” He would charge after them and proceed to beat the ever loving shit out of them until they’re mumbling their apologies to you.

“H-hey! Katsu, enough.” You touch Bakugou’s shoulder, pulling him back away from the group of boys.

“Just teaching these dumbasses a lesson about fuckin’ with what’s mine.” Bakugou slings an arm around your waist and practically carries you back to your team with you over his shoulder.

He’s very attentive, and while he can get frustrated sometimes, he’d never make you feel insecure. He’ll wait as long as you need to.

He can usually tell what you want based off of body language, but if it’s something romantic like a kiss or a hug, he wants you to be verbal about it, or he wants you to initiate it first.

Bakugou likes when you hold his hand while you speak, he likes the way you run your thumb across his knuckles. It makes him feel all giddy inside.

But he won’t tell you he likes this.

It’s not like you can’t tell with the way he practically leaps to hold your hand every time you even think about opening your mouth to speak.

»»————-　★　————-««

izuku midoriya

»»————-　★　————-««

He’s also very attentive and will listen to you.

He will not tolerate people talking over you or making fun of your stutter.

Once yelled at a group of kids who were making fun of your stutter while you guys were patrolling together <3

He really can’t stand when people mock you either. It’s just so rude.

Holds your hand if you like it.

You usually find yourself playing with his hair when you talk to him alone. Your fingers tangled in his green locks while you tell him about your day.

It helps take your mind off of little things that had been stressing you out. And Deku really enjoys it too.

Deku could listen to you talk forever. He loves the sound of your voice.

Even when you get insecure about things like seeming like it takes forever to tell a story, he’ll reassure you and rub your arms, or trace shapes on your legs while you continue, telling you how excited he is to hear what happens next.

HE LOVES TEXTING YOU TOO

Whether you send one big message or eighteen tiny ones about what you want to say, he’ll read all of it, over and over again, smiling thinking about how you’d sound saying it.

Deku is just soft for ur voice idk what else to say he loves it!!

He will urge you to finish your sentences if you ever get off track or distracted, reminding you where you left off, etc.

This can be really sweet but it might also seem a little pushy.

If this bothers you, he’ll gladly stop if you’d like him too! He just wants you to feel comfortable in knowing you’ve told him what you needed to!!

kisses your cheeks to fluster you sometimes which will make you a babbling mess and get you off topic in an instant. He doesn’t do this on purpose, usually only when he wants to kiss you but ur in public.

kiss him back on the lips to turn him into the babbling mess.

»»————-　★　————-««

shoto todoroki

»»————-　★　————-««

Shoto baby <3

He’s kinda quiet and reserved, but he really enjoys listening to you talk.

He actually speaks more with you than he does anyone else!

He definitely does not tolerate anyone speaking over you/cutting you off mid sentence and will not stand for someone mocking or teasing you.

He had to harp on Kaminari once.

“S-so uhm that’s why-”

“That’s why we need to work together!” Kaminari butted in, cutting you off. He wasn’t trying to be mean by any means, he’d just connected the dots out loud.

“They could’ve finished their sentence without an interruption.” Todoroki’s mouth formed into a thin line as he stared at the yellow-blonde.

“Sorry! I’m sorry!” Kaminari apologized to you, feeling a little embarrassed about being scolded by Todoroki.

“It’s a-alright. You got the gist o-of it.” You smiled, glancing back at Todoroki before mouthing a ‘thank you’ to him.

He hates seeing you get discouraged by people talking over you or getting mocked, especially by kids around your age.

You’re doing your best, hell you’re doing better than half the kids there, yet some pricks think it’s funny to tease you for having a stutter, or for taking a few extra minutes to finish what you’re saying.

Will absolutely put their asses on blast for the world to see.

He will not tolerate bullshit, I mean just ask his dad-

You enjoy using his hands, like the others, when you speak. Holding his cool hand to your cheek while you tell him a story helps you feel a little less embarrassed if you’re feeling self-conscious.

Or if you press his warm hand to your lips, kissing his finger tips before speaking, you feel calm.

He’s a flustered mess now, honestly trying not to interrupt you with a kiss.

masterlist

[urcharactersclasspect]

Do you mind analyzing the difference between a Knight of Breath and a Sylph of Breath? If you only do one at a time, then just a Knight of Breath would be fine.

I could do a rambly combo to get your answer

The biggest difference would have to be position and set of importance within sessions.

Something often not brought up enough about Knights is that any given Knight inside your session will be the aspect all of your team is lacking the most of. Dave secured more time for his team when they were constantly out of it, and while he didnt CREATE the time like the traditional sense we come to expect like Maid of Time like Aradia might do, and its not a direct Power Boost or something like a Sylph fixes, he at least ensured they had it. He protected his teammates futures by protecting with Time and Protecting the time they did have, no matter how little they really had, until something like Jades big break in Space could happen.

A Knight of Breath would secure Freedom and "breathing room" for their teammates all through out their session, they would loosen theirs and their teammates own obligations or ties, Not in the sense they are going to destroy relationships or bonds like a Prince or Bard, but they ensure they feel safe to loosen up a bit. They don't feel confined, maybe, to only strict set of rules or within only certain boundaries. Make their session go by faster by taking care of tasks for others. Theyd ensure their team members can do what they need to. And what they need to do to be free. Knights secure and protect their aspect, even if it means maybe going through some shit to do that, much like a true knight they will grin and bear through it all with their masks and aspects.

A Sylph of Breath however, might be a bit more smothering and specific about something close. Think of someone who might just contradict their own Breathy nature, they might tell someone to liven up; to not let others control them for their own benefit, but because Sylphs are naturally fussy with their aspect this will be more centered on only specific team members who actually are willing to listen. The contradictory parts comes in with that factor, aswell. As the sylph will feel obligated to tell them what to do and how to do it to get that freedom the team member is craving from whatever is tying them down in the first place and the sylph might impose only their own sense of freedom onto them. This is similiar to how a Thief of Breath might work as well, as Breath / blood inversion I feel a little more deep with those aspects, but thats a separate tangent. Sylphs "fix" their aspect, and try to boost the aspect in others; Think Aranea literally fixing Terezis blindness. They could probably fix someones asthma so its no longer a hindrance to moving forward in a big challenge to do with Gas/smoke, or other situations it could cause issues. Or make it someone who has breathing or throat problems can breathe under water for something related to a story.

However, unlike a Knight where its where you are desperately lacking an aspect and need a security system in place. A Sylph is optional, much like you dont need that extra boost after eating a food item in Oblivion, but its a good thing to have on your team and makes things easier.

[chickwiththepurpleguitar]

hi!! if you’re taking prompts, can you do something with willex mutual pining + airplane trip? maybe they’re flying out for a band thing or something and their friends rigged the plane seat tickets so theyd sit next to each other, in hopes that maybe they’d FINALLY confess (from willies POV if you’re able to, but if not alex is great too!!)

i love your writing so much /g

Thanks for this kind message and your prompt! Sorry it took so long, I hope you enjoy!

read on ao3 here:

--

Willie’s never been a huge fan of airplanes.

There’s just something about the things— big and loud and scary and a million feet in the air— that makes them nervous, makes them sick to their stomach, makes them want to very much be back on the ground now, please.

But Willie’s been following Julie and the Phantoms on tour for over a month now, taking photos for the band’s official website and social media accounts. He’s been pining after the band’s drummer for even longer, ever since Alex crashed into him outside a club downtown and pancaked them skateboard first into the ground (or, at least, that’s the way Willie tells it; Alex tends to recall the story a little bit differently).

If Alex were any other guy, Willie would be totally convinced he liked them back. Alex gets this look on his face— like the circuitry in his brain has gone offline for a second— whenever Willie wears their hair down or shows up to band practice in a crop top and a skirt. Alex smiles at him, pretty much all the time, and he laughs at all of Willie’s dumb jokes, and he lets Willie sit with him when his anxiety gets bad, while even his bandmates are asked to give him some space for a while.

Alex blushes when Willie flirts with him, and he spares Willie from his biting snark, which Willie thinks is Alex’s way of flirting back, and he touches them, every chance he gets— holds their hand and plays with their hair and cuddles up to them whenever Willie tries to take a nap, his warm presence the most comforting and most distracting thing in the world.

Alex’s touchy-feeliness, especially, Willie’s decided, would be a sure sign of romantic interest from just about anyone else. But Alex is just as— if not more— touchy with all his other friends; he gives Luke piggy-back rides and wrestles with Reggie and lets Julie climb onto his lap so he can braid her hair during movie nights.

So Willie just doesn’t know.

The band is on their way to London for the European leg of their tour, and Willie wasn’t going to go— Flynn straight-up offered to find a temporary photographer because they know he doesn’t like to fly— but then Alex said, “Wait, you’re not coming?” with this look on his face and, well… Willie’s not made of stone.

So here they are. Trying desperately not to freak out as he makes his way through the crowded plane to the seat number on the last-minute ticket Flynn texted him.

“I couldn’t get you a seat next to the rest of the band,” she’d apologized over the phone this morning as Willie was racing to get to the airport on time, “but at least you’re in First Class.”

Willie’s heard the seatbelt rules are a little more lax in First Class. They don’t find the extra leg room and free champagne sufficiently reassuring.

Someone’s already taken the window seat when Willie reaches his row, so he shoves his carry-on into the overhead compartment and gets his seatbelt on as quickly as possible without paying their seatmate any mind.

With their eyes closed and their hands gripped tight around the armrests, Willie can almost pretend he’s back in the Julie and the Phantoms tour bus and not on a flying metal deathtrap.

He can even pretend he hears Alex’s voice whispering, “Hey. Speed Bump.”

Willie’s eyes snap open. Wait.

“Alex?!” Sure enough, it’s not just some random inconsiderate asshole who took the window seat without waiting to see if Willie wanted it first. It’s one very specific inconsiderate asshole. It’s, in fact, Willie’s favorite inconsiderate asshole. “What are you—?” Willie glances around, confused. “I thought you’d be with the band!”

Alex smiles sheepishly. “Yeah, uh… I think Flynn might’ve moved the tickets around so that you and I could sit next to each other.”

“What, uh… What’d she do that for?”

Alex breathes out a laugh, looking down at his hands, twisted together in his lap. Willie thinks he might be blushing. “Probably because my friends have been trying to get me to say something to you for a while now?”

“Yeah? What’s that, hot dog?”

Turns out, Alex’s touchy-feely-flirtiness with Willie is very much not supposed to be taken platonically. And turns out Alex is a really, really good kisser.

misukazu 21

(if you saw me fuck up the other one no you didnt)

EDIT I THINK THIS ONE GOT A LITTLE FUCKED UP TOO BUT IT’S... READABLE...

questions from this post, and answers originally written for this thread!!

If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it?    their canon first meeting is already so good SHDGFLJASHG but if i had to choose a different one that's still within the context of mankai... meeting as kids and losing touch and coming back together completely different at mankai

What song fits your pairing the most?    uhhHHhhHHH i don't have a real answer but i do have a partial playlist for one of my misukazu aus and the only two songs in it are furaregai girl by sayuri and champagne's for celebrating by mayday parade and i feel like that says enough sldhgalsdhfalsh

What is your favorite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing?     ALL MISUKAZU AUS ARE GOOD but. i really love any au where their first meeting is in the future and both are still kind of lost but they're Older and it's hard to let themselves fall into the easy trust they find in canon. i just think that'd be neat.

Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them?     I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES BUT CANON MISUKAZU GIVES OFF MADE FOR EACH OTHER VIBES AND USUALLY I DON'T VIBE WITH THAT BUT THEY REALLY ARE WHAT THE OTHER NEEDS... AND I THINK EVEN IF THEY HAD TO PART THEY'D STILL BE ABLE TO BE BETTER PEOPLE BC THEY HAD MET

Favorite canon moment of them?     THERE ARE SO MANY but the one that immediately comes to mind is misumi carrying drunk kazu to bed (latest bday line) because drunk kazu is so soft and it implies that misumi wanted to wish happy birthday to kazu pretty late... what did he want to give him...

Least favorite canon moment of them?     hmm... there's not really one i can think of??? IM SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY I LOVE ALL THEIR CANON MOMENTS

Favorite headcanon trope/idea? (Your own or someone else’s)    this is somehow both vague and very specific but i think misukazu gives off this vibe: He's beautiful. I can't tell him. or "Kazu is always beautiful~" Don't call me that, Kazu thinks. I'm not. so... insecurities i guess ????? AJSHAJJD

Favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?     THIS IS GOING TO SOUND SO CHEESY but i love how /real/ they allow themselves to be around each other. misukazu at their best is when one thinks "you're you. and i love that you" and the other knows this. i just. THEY VALIDATE THE OTHER SO MUCH CRIES

Least favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcannon)     this isn't a "least fav" so much as "it makes me sad" but if either of them showed any sign of not being interested anymore the other is more likely to give up then push anything. sort of like "it was bound to happen, so i'll enjoy now until they drop me" or EVEN WORSE they think the other would be better off without them and pushes them away. so yeah the fact i can see one of these happening makes me sad.

If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?     they give off "everyone knows we're dating but us" energy but at the same time i feel like they'd acknowledge there's something and just not define it bc a) they don't need to (misumi) or b) they're too nervous to (kazu). in other words i think one day they are holding hands and misumi says "kazu? is this dating?" and kazu holds his breath before asking "do you want it to be?"

If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?     i think theyd be hilarious in any sports animanga (kazu is manager tho bc noodle arms but maybe they bond when misumi walks him through some of his usual training menu one night - ahem. anyway) BUT ALSO horimiya au...

How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.     AJDHAJDHSF I REALLY LOVE THEM SO IT COMES PRETTY EASILY... but sometimes you try to put them in tropes and realize they would Just Not Work Like That. idk where i'm going with this. but yeah. anyway 3 for sankaku.

Is there a pairing that you think rivals them?     in terms of what i ship, i tend to ship kazu and misumi individually with a lot of dif charas AJDHAKD. but in terms of like... in-universe "rival" pairings: kazu side: tsuzukazu (maybe, lbr it would take them 273924 yrs to actually get together), kazu x someone from winter (i... have my reasons but they'd take longer than what this answer entails) misumi side: ... surprisingly none that i can think of ahdjahd

Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?)     you know that tweet that's like "sometimes a ship is just your two favs"? yeah that's misukazu for me. but if i had to choose... misumi AJDHAJHDSF I HONESTLY WASNT THAT INTO YUME UNTIL THESE TWO CAME AROUND (NOT COUNTING 707)... but yeah if they wanted to hold me in their arms i wouldn't oppose

Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why?     OOOOOH BOY well. i think it could be either of them. i don't think they'd break up for lack of love but too much love and wanting the other to be happy and thinking that the only way to give them that is to let them go. so i guess the question is which of them would be more likely to be selfish and hold on. thinking this way, i think misumi would be more likely to break-up, bc kazu has lots of friends who are better than him!! and misumi is more ready to leave if he thinks he needs to than kazu is. now im sad.

Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing?     THE NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE BEEN CALLED KAZU KIN... in all seriousness kazu's struggles with speaking out and (shinobi spoilers) his uncertainty over his future hit real close to home... while i don't relate as much as misumi, his struggles always manage to tear my heart into pieces... ((oversharing alert) i guess what really separates me from misumi is his struggle with his desire to connect with family who has treated him poorly... whereas im more "lol fuck you") tldr i relate to kazu slightly more LOL

Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them?     i never disliked them but i was NOT expecting either of them to shoot up so quickly into my favs list ahdjahdjf. also i started shipping them Immediately After reading summer main story so there's that

On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?    as of september 28th 2020 i make up 11/78 fics on ao3 in the romantic misukazu tag and 2/12 in the platonic one. i may have brainrot.

What made you decide to ship them?     TBH I FINISHED THE MAIN STORY AND WENT "OH MY GOD... THAT'S MY SHIP" but now that i'm here i continue to ship them because they have the potential to bring out both the best and the worst in each other and i'm all about that

Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.)     angst. i just. angst hurt/comfort all the way. im so sorry babies.

lol you thought there would just be 21 ANYWAY EXTRA 1: how do they spend breaks/vacation?    they'd travel a lot when they're older!! kazunari loves to travel and misumi would follow kazunari anywhere (also, new triangles!!) so they go somewhere new whenever they have the time. however i think eventually one or both of their future careers will take them anywhere and everywhere anyway, so their "ideal vacation" might turn into an evening in, cuddling and catching up (as if they didn't already send play-by-play updates over the phone of whatever they did during the day)

EXTRA 2: first date?     i don't they ever have an explicit first date, but if asked they'll cite the time they had a picnic in the park turned triangle hunt turned accidental dip in the duck pond. at least, kazunari will. misumi just tilts his head and wonders what you mean.

EXTRA 3: gifts?     IM FEELING REALLY CHEESY SO I'M MAKING THIS ABOUT ANNIVERSARY GIFTS they both end up getting each other jewelry (although kazu was really really nervous bc he wasn't sure if misumi would wear it). kazu gets misumi a bracelet (with triangles, of course although misumi only wears it sometimes because he doesn't want to lose it) and misumi gets kazu a pair of triangle earrings "so we can match!" and kazunari combusts at the implications

EXTRA 4: sharing clothes     THEY'RE ACTUALLY AROUND THE SAME SIZE (and tend to wear baggier stuff barring kazu's skinny jeans)... but they have completely different Styles so it's still really obvious when steal each other's stuff ahdjajdkaf. as cute as kazu would look in sumi's sweatshirt i think the much more likely scenario is kazu wrapping misumi in his jackets because this boy nEVER BRINGS HIS ANYWHERE anyway just. accidental shared wardrobe misukazu.

EXTRA 5: lake house au    consider: kazunari living in a house on the shore of a lake for a summer for Art Purposes (and a little bit for Dealing With Life purposes but he's not gonna admit that) and meets his lake neighbor misumi who kazu thinks might be a ghost or spirit for a while but he actually just lives further down the lake and misumi unknowingly helps kazu with his Life Issues and maybe they fall in love

[jihyosforehead]

please I need mina and jihyo being soft?

theyre v soft babies prove me wrong!!

mina sometimes plants herself in jihyo’s lap randomly:

in between their sets backstage during concerts;  

while theyre hanging out between takes for a variety show theyre filming;

a movie’s playing and everyone’s squished themselves into their living room to watch;

(samo are sprawled across each other as usual, nayeons talked chaeyoung into sitting into her lap somehow, tzuyu is content to sit with her back leaning against jeongs shins, dahyun is off to the corner but close enough for sana to bother. and minas firmly situated in jihyos lap, with a heavy knit blanket thrown over their shoulders) 

on the dance practice floor when theyre taking water breaks - minas sitting in the natural v, jihyos legs make;

she’ll crawl into jihyos lap and settle herself comfortably there - honestly, mina reminds jihyo of a very young kitten

wedging herself into an impossibly small ball and curling herself under jihyos chin, nudging herself in the spaces that jihyo hadnt realised were mina spaces

jihyo lifts her arms up, just high enough to allow mina to crawl in, to be held 

it’s in the little things too: 

mina plugging jihyos phone in to charge when shes fallen asleep; sometimes setting an alarm (or two) so jihyo doesnt miss an early appointment

jihyo falls asleep in some of the oddest positions 

mina’s caught her asleep while setting her alarms for the next day, hands still gripping onto her phone, the screen lit up to show the clock alarm app 

other times, mina makes an extra mug of ginger-lemon-honey tea after a gruelling concert, to soothe jihyos throat (jihyo always does her best and doesnt think to also make herself a mug of tea after checking in on everyone)

jihyo takes the mug in both hands, not before encasing minas hands under hers, absentmindedly noting how the spaces between her fingers slot perfectly with mina’s, misses the way mina’s cheeks tinge pink at the casual affection

jihyo lets mina steal the blankets at night, lets her take all the sheets to her side of the bed and roll around in them, leaving jihyo freezing at 3:22am 

(jihyo snatches the heavy throw blanket laying at the foot of the bed for this exact reason - mina apologises to her the next day by making her a steaming mug of coffee, fixed extra strong with soy milk)

sometimes jihyo will have a really hectic, full on day -

(makeup at 4:30 am for a 7am photoshoot that runs for 3 hours, followed closely by an interview, theres a short break for lunch - eaten in the car on the way to a brand event. her day ends with a work-out session and running over tomorrow’s schedule with her managers) 

- and mina greets her with takeout boxes from jihyo’s fav spots, dorm cleaned and the other girls are preoccupied doing their own thing. jihyo exhales a breath she hadnt realised she was holding, the tension leaving her shoulders almost automatically, when mina grins up at her over her phone

when they go on tour, jihyo catches minas gaze from across the stage and there are reassuring messages left unsaid, but they echo loud and clear in minas mind (“youre doing well” -  “im proud of u” - “i love u!”)

mina thinks jihyo is adorable for wanting to learn how to play animal crossing or whatever other game jihyo digs out of minas organised game shelf

other times they just sit in the living room, or side-by-side on the couch doing their own thing

jihyos scrolling down her twitter feed, randomly liking posts while mina’s furiously chopping trees down on her animal crossing island;

quietly eating breakfast together because theyve somehow managed to wake up before everyone else and the dorm is uncharacteristically peaceful. the only noise comes from their hushed chewing or an occasional yawn

their eyes meet and jihyo internally notes that mina’s sleepy smile is probably the cutest thing shes ever seen and will never grow tired of seeing it

minas not rly a morning person

if she had the choice, she’d permanently start her days after 11am, but she might need to rethink that bc of the way jihyos face lit up after she’d agreed to an early breakfast, truly put the sun to shame

they stay up late chatting, lying on their sides talking about nothing and everything. its dark, and the room is dimly lit by their bedside lamp, but mina still notices how sparkly and brown and wide jihyos eyes are

they just really enjoy each other’s company;

they dont rly have much time outside of their busy days just due to the nature of their job, but theyd willingly forgo that time alone, to spend with each other

mina just wants to be alone with jihyo and talk about the weather

always has an urge to talk to jihyo. shes got nothing to say, nothing to talk about even. but she wants to tell jihyo all of her important nothings 

wants to tell her shes a fossil short of completing her museum; saw a dog on her morning walk with the exact same shade of gold fur like ray has; shes figured out how to make the double arrowhead pattern on her friendship bracelets

and jihyo is the same: this funny thing happened to me on the way to the gym this morning, and mina is the only one she’ll tell 

jihyo brings the girls home to her family during the holidays, and while nayeon and jeongyeon are fond, but lovable menaces, mina is gradually growing to be her mother’s favourite 

mina introduces jihyo to her family when they go to japan for their first tour

mina’s never seen her dog warm to someone so quickly before

jihyo, meanwhile, has found herself trapped under a sleeping puppy whenever she visits

more often than not, mina feels lost, out of place, overwhelmed and jihyos there holding her hand, with gentle reassurances, and soft smiles reserved just for her

mina hardly knows where to begin, but jihyos a safe place to start 🥰

11, 12, 23, and 100

11. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Oof...uh...im not even like a shoe obsessed person but somehow i feel like i have a lot of shoes. Im gonna say that 85% are black boots tbh. I have a pair of pastel purple boots that i love and some heeled white boots that i normally use for lolita. Then i have a collection of wedged jelly sandals in rainbow, silver glitter, white, black, and light blue (i may be missing a color) and those are my fave too. Maybe 30 if i was gonna guess?😅

12. What was your last dream about?

Okay so i dont remember my like last dream from tonight but a dream i do remember that happened like a day or two ago was (and this is very long so bare with me. Yes, i usually dream about johnny, yes my dreams are super detailed because my writer mind kinda goes with it. Yes, my dreams can last like an hour or two. This also happens with dreams that give me anxiety which is fun🙃🙃)

N E WAY:

(I feel cringey saying 'i' but it was me...albeit a hotter version but whatever). I was a business person that was starting my own brand of lingerie (like one of those that was kinda geared towards more plus sizes but still wanted to be inclusive-whatever lol) and Johnny was my best friend who was a photographer (shocking i know). I was needing his help because i needed more professional model pictures to show the lingerie i had produced but because my business was still starting i was basically the model. Johnny had gone out of his way to book a stay at this bed and breakfast that he found because he was trying to find the perfect backdrop for the pictures and this bed and breakfast was gorgeous. The room he booked was a two story room with this giant bed and a whirlpool jet tub and a balcony that overlooked this really pretty garden below. Anyway it was amazing and we got there and actually did normal stuff like take pictures and get close up shots yadda yadda but we had also gotten some cheap wine from the supermarket (we stopped to get snacks before we got to the bnb). So in between shots we were drinking and drank a little tooooo much and got all giggly and stuff. (There might have been some transitional thing here but i dont remember)

Anyway, i get excited because i had wanted to try the tub because id never been in a whirlpool one before but i was like "wow this is weird that its outside the bathroom and a few feet from the bed. Is it gonna be weird if im in the tub while youre here because i really wanna try it. I even got bath bombs." And johnnys like "well i wanna try it too!!" And we're both tipsy/sorta drunk at this point and giggling about that fact that were gonna be naked together or whatever but who cares because its a cool af tub, we just wont tell the others that we took a bath together, its cool, whatevs. So i had the bright idea of dumping all the bathbombs i had gotten (like two or three) in which was a bad idea because they had like softening body oil and glitter in them so it made the tub extra slippery. We both get in and spend forever trying not to slip and slide to death in this tub and of course i end up slipping close to him, like in between his legs and were pressed together (alright heres the smut part -condensed version)

-we start making out hardcore and groping the hell out of one another

-we establish that maybe its okay to just have one hook up, again we just wont tell the guys bc theyd just tease us bc they were always saying how we acted like we were married and should just be a couple already

-he pushes me (cringe) against the tub wall and starts fingering me and i start jerking him off.

-ofc he starts kissing and biting my neck and putting all of his weight on me/gripping the side of the tub to get leverage to make his thrusts faster (and this is still just for the fingering)

-eventually he turns me around and starts fucking me from behind. Im bent over the edge of the tub but i had one hand in the water and accidentally pull the drain plug so the water starts to go down

-we laugh about it (again still kinda tipsy) and johnnys ofc like lets go to the bed.

- he picks me up and throws me down on it and i think it was missionary first but he def started choking me which was great because he did not hold back on that grip👌🏽

-then i think we went into doggy again?(this is kinda the part where the dream was ending and i dont remember too much) and he was pressing down hard on the back of my neck and spanking me. And unfortunately i dont remember anything after that😫

23. Have you ever met any celebrities?

Yeah!

-bullet for my valentine

-clown/corey/craig from slipknot

-pentagon! (Well hi touch)

-ateez (hi touch)

-monsta x (hi touch)

-amber rose

- a TON of drag queens from rupauls drag race (bianca, bob, thorgy, jujubee, the list goes on. I went to drag con i think 2016? Something like that)

-i met the voice actor for yusuke urameshi (yu yu hakusho) Justin Cook and he was the SWEETEST guy ever and i have a good story about him. Also YYH is one of my fave animes so i def cried

-Amy Doan, the creator of Sugarpill makeup (i love her okay)

-the guitarist of Heidevolk and i think the bassist? I cant remember

-Laverne Cox

I think that might be it?

100. Color of your room?

Pfft white because i rent an apartment 😅

Thank you for asking (and always reblogging my stories😅🥰) i love you!

🌟 if you wanna !

meme.

this is stuff that’s alrdy been brought up in threads but gran,,,,,,kinda isnt too highkey on certain kind of attention a lot of the time?? they’re usually p lowkey around others and doesn’t always draw an Awful lot of attention in crowds (aside from fooling around w ppl etc ofc!! they’re a brat no matter what). but its usually easy for strangers to kinda…look over them? gran doesnt mind, they are comfy with that. because when a lot of attention is focused on them (like getting interviewed after the platinum sky race or in formal parties) they’re not very comfy at all. so when lucio is adored by ppl so intensely while gran is around, gran is gonna be a bit uncomfortable even tho they know it’s lucio they care for — because theyre still looking in both of their direction.

it’s not going to stop gran from hanging out with lucio in any way, but it def takes a while to get used to, and even after they’ll remain feeling slightly weird about it, but they’ll be a lot more used to it compared to the first times. so they’ll probably joke about it too, if lucio really has the time to spare on gran&co, or if lucio didn’t get more popular this time? or if they should start setting up fanmeetings for some extra money.

I JUST….rly think it’ll slowly be a change in grans behavior towards it, it might not be noticeable unless its actively compared to how they first acted when lucios fans were around but !! they def are more comfy with it all after a while

THAT SAID…….finding out just the extent of how easily lucio makes fans………….he’s shamelessly gonna be put on advertising duty whenever needed

I DO THINK gran would enjoy interacting with lucio a lot, like he has that kinda…very straightforward ridiculousness in things he does & say and gran’d be amused a lot by it? but on the flipside gran wouldn’t be taking him superseriously either thanks to that so asdbkkbj like everytime he speaks of his beauty,,,gran takes that 0% seriously its TOO ridiculous, but thats also why being with lucio is so much fun

in the same vein theyd probably torture him with apples too. gran has a very awful sense of jokes thats very annoying, so they wouldnt be opposed to be annoying with apples around lucio too

WITHIN ALL THIS…….theres definitely a confusion regarding lucios power and who he is (before 000??? i genuinly cant rmbr just What gran knows about lucio canonly after 000 akjdbkasd i feel like its still Nothing?? do they even rmbr that dream stuff etc LMFAO), but considering everything in his fate eps etc gran is awfully aware that there’s a lot more to lucio than he leads on (+ the whole thing with lucio looking like lucifer&lucilius etc). gran won’t pry unless absolutely necessary, and even then they’d back off if lucio wouldn’t want to share things, but despite all of their fooling around lucio they definitely have a lot of respect for him too.

ship (s.b)

Request: Hi! Could you ship me with a character please? I'm a Hufflepuff girl with brown eyes and pastel pink wavy hair. I'm 5'6", very pale, and a bit chubby. I love cats, naps, and snacks. My favourite classes are Potions and Art. I love to bake, especially to share. I'm very shy, though loud with my friends. I have depression and am at my best with friends around- I love affection, particularly physical. Loyalty/honesty are important to me. I'd love to play quidditch. Hope you're having a good day!

Dedication: for my darling @faithfulpuppy your request is probably the best one I've gotten in a long time and I'm so sorry you had to wait such a long time!! I hope you love it!!

I ship you with the amazing and luscious-hair-having......

SIRIUS BLACK *fireworks* *ooohs from the crowd* *clapping* *nodding*

well first of all, whilst sirius black was basically in love with you, the one thing he complained about to all of his friends (and anyone that would listen, really) was how much of a cat person you are

“Shes a CAT PERSON, James! I’ve done it! I’ve fallen in love with a cat person!” (generally followed by a dramatic flop on the bed and then an hour-long rant about how you are pretty much perfect despite the cat fact)

he could often be seen glaring at your pet cat around school (though he didn't mind a lot of cats, for some reason your cat really hated him so sirius hated your cat)

he found it surprising how loud you could be, especially around some of your friends, when you were all yelling over the top of each other to share your stories and opinions first

he would absolutely love your pastel hair, and would love to wrap a strand around his finger especially when you were making out

you were both fans of physical affection, so he would always have his hand in yours or his arm wrapped around your waste

or just making out in general really

he would love versing you in quidditch, though he would constantly get distracted by “how amazing her bum looks in her quidditch robes”

he would often find you in the kitchens with the house elves, helping them bake (they mostly refused to let you help but after you told them that it helped with making you feel better they eventually complied) and when you were finished and were taking your treats up to your house for your friends to enjoy, theyd always load you up with extras anyway

your knack for cooking helped you in potions, and you were the top of the class

before you and sirius got together he would always walk over to your desk, lean casually on the table and ask you if it would be possible for you to tutor him because he was so “bad at it” (he was generally somewhere near the top of the class, it was the one class he really liked)

“you're second from the top, Black, you don't need my help” “always room for improvement, Y/N, always room for improvement”

or “are you trying to prevent me from learning? what a crime! excUSE ME, PROF-!” as you clamped a hand over his mouth so stop his yelling and draw attention to the both of you

liked to make out with you in dark corners of the hallways, no matter how many people were watching, even though you walked away red in the face from embarrassment

he would know he really stuffed up (maybe he lied to you about something or was flirting with someone else) when you went really quiet, because while other people might see this as normal behaviour for you, there was not a single moment between the two of you when both of you were quiet

he’d try to make it up to you and apologise profusely but it wasn't until you accidentally hit him with a bludger once during a game that you spoke to him after a few days (of course he was knocked out for almost an entire day) but as soon as he woke up, he smiled, knowing you were no longer mad at him and whispered how much he loved you as he leaned up in the hospital bed to kiss you

@faithfulpuppy hope you love it heaps and have an amazing day/night!!!

tsundere!jihoon

(as requested)

jihoon may act cute and everything but deep down hes Horrible at expressing his feelings

esp when it comes to u

u met bc u worked at a coffeeshop near w1′s practice building and u got close to some of the members

it got to the point where ud take early shifts to bring them coffee when u were done working

anyways

he literally had a crush on u the second he first saw u, but he played it off as cool and pretended to be apathetic

the rest of the boys saw thru it but u didnt

honestly u were a lil hurt bc u kept trying to act friendly but he always shut u down so quickly

at first u thought maybe he was just tired

but nope

no matter what time of day u saw him, he was always just as cold towards u

eventually u just sort of give up with him

like? theres no point in trying to talk to him all the time if he just ignores u

so u move on and focus on befriending the rest of the boys

little do u realize tht jihoons always staring at u in the bg

eSPECIALLY when u smile

he honestly thinks ure super super cute but he refuses to admit that he likes u

every time u visit, the boys give him The Look and try and tease him abt his crush afterwards, but he denies everything completely

u overheard one of their conversations once and u couldve sworn ur heart started beating out of ur chest bc WHAT

there was no way jihoon liked u, right??

then u hear jihoon talk abt how he could never like u and denies whatever the other boys say

ur heart drops into ur stomach

u cant help it

even tho u did think jihoon was cute, it was clear tht he was v different from what the cameras liked to show

to hear him say stuff like tht made u feel nauseous, esp since u had barely talked to him lately and thought u werent bothering him

with that in mind u try to keep ur distance from him even more

n bc of that, u start avoiding the rest of the boys too

like? theyre always together as a big group, so u figure its best if u just give jihoon space so u dont annoy him so much

part of u wants to be angry at him, but u also remember all those times when u first met that u probably pushed his boundaries too far, so u had this coming

before u know it, ure barely interacting with the boys at all, taking shifts at the coffeeshop when u know theyll be busy and wont b able to drop by

its not a fun change, but its not like theres anything u can do about it

u do miss the rest of the boys tho

they were always so friendly and nice, cracking jokes to make u feel welcome, and u never really had friends like that before

but it cant be helped, so u just try to focus on work and school

thats when jihoon comes by the coffeeshop

its weird for a number of reasons

one: hes alone, and hes never out without other members or at least a handful of managers and staff

two: its at rush hour in the afternoon, right when u know he and the other boys should be busy practicing

three: he knows u work there, and since he hates u so much theres no way he would willingly come

u figure tht it was probably a dare from the older members to have him buy them coffee, so u swallow down the emotions in ur throat and put on a fake smile

u act as polite as u can, welcoming him to the shop and asking him what hed like to order

hes avoiding ur eyes, which is a bit irksome bc u just want to do ur job and get this conversation over with

and u hear him mumble something but ure not sure what it is

u lean over the counter a little and ask him to repeat bc u dont want to mess up the order and have him get mad at u

but he just looks u in the eyes and says “u look thinner. u should eat more” and ure just like “?? excuse me?”

n he clears his throat and looks away again and says “lets go out for dinner”

ure absolutely shellshocked at this point

“what” u say, bc ure a very smart person

“lets get dinner tonight” he looks a little annoyed now, so just to mess with him, u say “what” again

he groans, crossing his arms over his chest but stiLL refusing to look at u

“you and me. dinner. tonight. ill find a nice restaurant and treat u”

“…”

“…”

“jihoon, are u asking me out?”

he tries to play it cool by shrugging it off with an i guess, but u can see his ears turning bright red

its so cute and different from the front he usually put up around u, and u cant help but laugh a little

but ure like hold up. awhile ago he said u were annoying??

and hes like oBVIOusly i wasnt telling the truth if i told everyone else theyd never let it go

dont u remember how bad it was then even tho i told them i didnt like u??

and honestly u dont bc u were always so distracted tht u didnt pay attention when the boys kept trying to get u and jihoon alone

“ure lucky i like u, y/n”

“ure lucky i like u too”

he kinda freezes at that like “wait. u like me too???”

ure just like “yeah?? i mean i think so idk ure going to have to be extra nice to me for me to be sure”

he waves it off with a “that wont be hard”, and pretends not to stare at ur smile

(this time, u do notice)

he asks u when u get off work, and when u tell him tht ull be done by early evening, hes like “perfect. ill come by and pick u up then”

even tho u tried to convince him tht u needed to go home after to change and dress up, he insisted u looked fine as u were

which is lowkey super sweet??

and he keeps acting apathetic and cool even tho u can hear him stuttering over his “i’ll see u later”

so. he might act a bit like a tsundere or w/e but hes still v soft for u and doesnt plan on letting u forget that anytime soon

I read a fic a long time ago where the characters somehow got cursed or something to have all the things that people said about them appear on their skin (like if someone called them 'cute' theyd have'cute' stamped on their hand or somewhere else. i was thinking about this somehow happening to ace and the wbp (or mas or the asl), like they eat a crazy grand line fruit, and for the most part its pretty innocuous and funny, except that ace has stuff like 'should have been drowned at birth' 1/2

on his face (basically a lot of bad things people said from when he was a kid doing that ‘what if gold roger had a son’ thing. Maybe he would try to cover up, since there would some pretty incriminating stuff on there? basically id just really like some hurt/comfort with ace and sabo/marco/wbp in this scenario. he is a sad boy (sorry this all long and confusing, you dont have to do it at all if you dont want) 2/2     

Oh, I’ve read those too! There was a Kakashi one I loved, I think, and a real good Tony Stark one! It’s a fun concept.

Also I got, uh, a bit carried away. So, y’know, sorry in advance. (edit: now with prequel)

“I’m not sick,” Ace says stubbornly. “I’m a fire logia. I can’t get sick.” And then he sneezes, sharp and sudden.

“Bad timing, with that sickness you don’t have,” Thatch says. “We’ve still got two more days out here.”

“I know; don’t worry,” Ace says, scooting back from the fire. “I’ll just run hot for a while and be fine.”

“Does that work?” Haruta asks, leaning away from him and the heat he’s suddenly throwing.

“Dunno,” Ace answers. “I haven’t been sick since I ate my fruit. Honestly thought I was immune.”

He doesn’t look happy, and Thatch can see why. Being sick is always miserable, and worse if you’re not used to it. He knows he packed an extra blanket, though, because Marco denies his nesting tendencies and yet always ends up stealing everyone’s bedding. He digs it out and hands it over. Ace glances at him and he shrugs. “If you want it,” he offers, and sets it on the ground.

Ace reaches for it, then pauses to stare at his hand for a second. Thatch doesn’t get a chance to follow suit because suddenly the blanket is flipped open and wrapped around bare shoulders.

Thatch and Marco share a worried glance. Ace never uses blankets, and he doesn’t accept help that easily either. And Ace isn’t even using it like a blanket; he’s got it wrapped around his back and over his head like a makeshift cape.

“You sure you’re feeling all right?” Thatch ventures.

“I can’t be sick,” Ace says, but he’s just a lump of blanket now. “I can’t.”

“Because you’re fire?” Marco asks.

“I’m from East Blue,” Ace says like it’s an explanation, but it really isn’t.  It’s interesting, but as far as Thatch knows, there’s nothing about East Blue that makes its residents any hardier. The five of them exchange glances, but they must agree with him, because Haruta drawls out, “Yeah…?”

SThe lump of blanket twitches and hesitates but finally says, “I had the crawl.”

“The what now?” Vista asks. Thatch stops to think, but there’s actually not many on the crew from East Blue; it’s by far the most peaceful sea.

But Marco makes an oh kind of noise. “There’s a disease in East Blue,” he says, because of course he knows. “Childhood thing, like chicken pox or flower fever. It’s really bad but almost never fatal, yoi. It compromises the immune system for the rest of your life, though,” and there’s some worried looks until he adds, “not harmfully! But when you get sick, it comes back, yoi.”

“Oh!” Namur interrupts, “It’s the ink sickness!” Marco arches an eyebrow at him, and he nods. “I’ve seen it before in certain parts of Paradise. That’s out East Blue way; probably spread from the Grand Line somehow.”

That sounds likely, actually. It’s the kind of thing that makes only Grand Line levels of sense, after all, but Namur’s not done. “We were taught it was a curse that went wrong, back in my tribe. Some rich man in a castle said something rude, and he was cursed to wear other people’s words on his skin or something.”

Marco nods and takes the story back. “The Scrawl means that if Ace is sick, he’ll be covered in ink till he’s better, yoi. It’s all stuff people will have said about him to his face, isn’t it?”

Ace says nothing, but Namur nods. “Stuff said about you in your hearing that you believe,” he clarifies. “My niece had it as a kid. Always real proud when she gets sick because she says wearing complements is the best accessory.”

The blanket twitches again, and Thatch steps in. “We’re gonna respect Ace’s privacy,” he announces. “If he’s really sick and he gets all decorated up with complements, we’re not gonna try to read them, okay?”

He glances around, but everyone’s staring at him. “What?” he asks.

Marco shakes his head. “Didn’t expect that from you, is all,” he says, and Thatch puffs himself up.

“I’m very mindful of people’s privacy!” he says, and everyone laughs at him. Well, that’s not nice at all, but at least it broke the mood. “I am!”

“Sure you are,” Ace says, finally talking again. He’s got the blanket pulled back enough to show his face and it’s just as it always was. “You respect privacy, and I’m never hungry.”

Thatch clutches his chest and falls over with his other wrist over his eyes. “Betrayed!” he gasps, because if keeping eyes on him is what’s getting Ace to calm down, he will gladly flop around overdramatically for the rest of the night.

And it works, because as they chat and pick at Thatch, Ace’s makeshift hood comes down. He falls asleep well before the rest of them, and whether it’s a narcolepsy attack or just exhaustion, no one says anything when Marco leans over to tug the blanket into place, covering all his skin.

–

Thatch blinks himself awake in the morning light. Right, they’re outside, coming back from that thing–right. He yawns and sits up; he’s never been slow to rise. Years as head chef on a pirate ship mean he’s generally up first.

Sure enough, everyone else is asleep. It’s false dawn, so it’s to be expected. He gets up anyway, stretching and looking around.

The fire’s gone out; someone must’ve banked it last night. He goes over to check on Ace, but the kid is curled into as small a ball as possible. The blanket’s ridden up over his feet, though, and Thatch can see jagged black streaks even from here. He steps forward, intending to tug the blanket down, but he can’t get close; the air around Ace is painfully hot.

Well, Marco can do it when he wakes up, Thatch decides. He’s got some time to kill, anyway; may as well take a walk. He might find a good place to watch the sunrise from; that’d be nice.

Well, he doesn’t see the sunrise, but he does find a tree with a bunch of those lovely purple fruits they had back in town. He picks enough to hand around for breakfast and a few more to take back to Pops.

By the time he gets back, everyone’s awake and up. “Good morning!” he says, and starts throwing fruits at people.

Haruta catches the first one in the face, but everyone else manages to grab theirs out of the air. Namur tosses his right back, and Thatch catches it easily and passes it on to Marco to give to Ace.

He drops the rest on his blanket and rolls them up carefully to take back. When he makes room in his sack, though, his fingers come across a marker that’s always at the bottom of his pack, and he takes it out before packing the fruit in.

He walks it through his fingers as he wanders over to Marco, who’s standing above Ace. “How is he?”

Marco makes a face and together they stare down at the blanket-covered kid. “You gotta get up eventually,” Thatch tells him.

The unhappy grumbling and shifting says that Ace does not agree, and the heat he’s putting out is enough to stop Thatch from trying to, uh, help. “Look, we’ll all turn away or something, okay? You can keep the blanket.”

Ace doesn’t move, and Thatch gives up. “You do it, Marco,” he says. “You’re the fireproof one.”

“I’m not fireproof.” Marco says even as he walks right into the heat haze like it’s nothing.

“Sure,” Haruta says, walking by, and Thatch catches their wrist. “Hey, what’re you–”

Thatch holds a finger over his lips and then wiggles the marker. Haruta’s eyes light up and they nod. “Yeah, can you–”

“Shhh!”

“We ready, yoi?” Marco walks purposefully between them, trailing what’s probably Ace. Hard to tell under the blanket cloak, but there’s one hand poking out to clutch it closed with a bold BRAT across the back of it.

Thatch darts his eyes away, feeling kind of bad. He hadn’t meant to read it, really, but it’s hard not to. He lets Ace and Marco go first, shouldering his pack and falling in step with Haruta.

There’s more black peeking out of the top of Ace’s boots where the blanket doesn’t quite cover, and Thatch keeps his gaze anywhere else. It’s an awkward kind of quiet, much different from yesterday’s bawdy jokes and loud off-key marching songs. Now the only sounds are the nature around them and occasional violent sneezes.

Haruta tugs at his sleeve, and they pass the marker back and forth for awhile. Thatch waves it behind them and Vista reaches out to take it, too. He promptly tries to use it on Namur, and there’s a quick scuffle.

It’s loud enough for Marco to turn around, though. He walks backwards for a few steps, looking them all over. “Everything okay, yoi?”

“Just fine,” Haruta lies breezily.

Marco stares at them for a few steps, so Thatch makes a spinny-finger gesture at him. He huffs but complies, and leans in a bit to mutter something to the Ace-like thing shambling along beside him. It’s probably about how dumb they are, but that’s okay.

“How does he do it?” Vista asks. “I can feel the heat from all the way back here.”

Ace sneezes again and said heat flares, and everyone but Marco flinches and falls back a few steps. “Marco likes fire,” Thatch says, hoping he’s right. “He doesn’t mind. Probably feels right at home.”

“Any hotter and he’s gonna combust,” Haruta mutters, and like their words were a trigger, Ace sneezes once again, the heat flares,  and the blanket on his back catches fire.

They all jump and Vista says something exceptionally nasty. Marco moves in, hands hovering uselessly, and Ace whips the blanket off to beat out the flame.

Thatch wasn’t expecting it, really, which is why he doesn’t look away in time–that’s totally why. It’s not his fault, he knows, and yet when his eyes catch on the giant letters across the back of Ace’s shoulders, above his tattoo, he still feels like he’s betraying something.

He feels that for the whole time it takes to unconsciously read and process the word “monster,” and then he just goes still. Ace is turned away, stomping out the flames, and they all know at a glance what exactly it was that Ace hadn’t wanted them to see.

His tattoo stands out as much as ever, but it’s framed now. Monster at the top, all the way across both shoulders, and underneath in a beautiful scrollwork there’s should’ve been drowned at birth.

Thank god you don’t exist crawls down his ribs, and there’s one word sentiments scattered around, all stark and pretty in concept and horrifying in meaning. Thatch, for all his good intentions, can’t bring himself to look away and his ears are full of the echo of Namur’s voice saying, stuff said about you in your hearing that you believe.

“Ace,” Marco says, quiet and hurt, and Ace’s shoulders go rigid under that horrible ink. He turns slowly to face them, smouldering blanket in one fist. There’s defiance in his eyes and mistake across his freckles.

Someone next to Thatch makes a wheezing sound, but he doesn’t look to see who because when Ace turns his head and tilts his chin up in anger, they can all read should do the world a favor and die circling his throat.

He’s a tapestry of horror and cruelty, and it’s all on display. Thatch’s eyes wander and the only remotely positive things he finds are the two brothers, curved dense and close over his heart, and captain curled over one wrist.

And then Ace falters. “What…?” he says, staring at Haruta, and Thatch glances over to where he’d written family across their forehead. He winces now, but it had seemed like such a good idea at the time.

In the face of this, though, their marker attempts look stupid and insulting. “Sorry,” Thatch says, and holds out the marker. “I had it and it seemed like–I’m sorry, I didn’t know….”

Ace blinks at them. “Why would you…?” he asks, confusion plain, and that hurts almost more than the words do. Things you believe, Thatch thinks again, and he’s suddenly angry.

“Because we’re your family, Ace!” he says. “And you were sick and scared of–and we wanted to make it even! And I never had the Scrawl but I do have a marker, and if you don’t believe us enough to get our words on your skin, then cut back the damn heat and I’ll put ‘em there myself!”

Ace’s chin comes down a bit; he’s defensive but actually listening. “It doesn’t…that’s not how it works.”

“Bullshit,” Marco snaps, and Thatch tosses him the marker. He uncaps it and steps in, ignoring Ace’s flinch. “If what’s true is on your skin, yoi, then what’s on your skin is true.” And he writes family, big and bold, under his left collarbone and right over you’re a curse.

“Loved,” Thatch lists, and Ace flinches again but stays still while Marco grabs his arm to write that over print small enough that Thatch can’t read it from here.

“Cute,” Haruta adds, and Ace goes a deeper red than a fever would account for. Marco nods and puts it right under the double brother.

“Hey now,” he says, trying to pull away, but Marco’s not having it. “Hey!” he says again, but he’s not struggling, and when Marco pulls at his shoulder to spin him around, he goes.

His shoulders are tense and high when Marco puts marker to skin, but as Whitebeard goes over monster, he relaxes a bit. “This really isn’t–”

Marco draws a long line through the awful sentence below his tattoo, and then does a few more just to black it out completely. He sets to work crossing out things and writing better ones, and Ace stands there, still holding the blanket, and lets him.

And then Vista shakes himself and says, “Give him a tramp stamp.”

“What?!”

“Oh, yes, do!” Haruta adds. “Make it say ‘pretty’!”

“No!” Ace says, stepping forward and turning. “No, that’s not–we’re done…!” He’s still surrounded by a heat haze that makes it impossible to approach, but Marco steps forward anyway.

“Come back here, yoi,” he says, and Ace tries to flee.

He makes it a few steps before Marco tackles him and sits on his legs. He puts the marker to work again as Ace claws at the ground and yells about how pretty he isn’t, and he only stops to sneeze three times.

“When you’re not too hot to approach, you can return the favor,” Namur points out, and when Ace immediately goes quiet he adds, “but it was Thatch’s idea!”

“Was not!” Thatch squawks, turning on him. “Haruta drew first!”

“You gave me the marker!”

“You used it!”

And it’s the dumbest argument Thatch has had in a long time, because yeah, he’s obviously at fault. He’s got idiot on one forearm and brother on his wrist and all right at cooking, I guess, on the back of his neck in permanent marker, but up ahead, Ace is laughing, and that’s more than worth it.
