#i might never have the courage to do that tbh lmao

[corneille-moisie]

just so we are all on the same page, these gif were made from this :

and that comes from here

so yeah, it is hotwave, it was sometime in 2003, as they were promoting new vogue children.

i dont have much else to add to this, aside from saying that this person in the comments might be right about this being a lost media lol

[depresseddepot]

it's always so funny to me when I can read something other people describe as "horrifying" or "nauseating" without blinking but then I find a book that I've never heard mentioned before that absolutely fucks me up

[yunalinwrites]

jjk fics i'll never write (but maybe you will!)

i have a bunch of fic ideas i dont think i'll ever get to bc saved by the bell is taking rlly long and i don't have a lot of time (╥﹏╥)

i still wanna see them come to life tho so i think im just gonna throw them out there for anyone who wants to use lol

idk maybe ill write these eventually but even in that case im not gonna stop anyone else from using them as well

go ahead and alter however u like, but tag me if u use!! im letting u peek in my brain >:)

and even if ur not a writer these can just b like imagination prompts for when u go to bed LMAO

"love is work" - nanami kento x reader

summary: title is self-explanatory tbh--the idea that nanami kento views love as work could be applied to any scenario. but, i think it would be interesting for the reader to be the person he meets at the bakery. maybe the bakery is a family business, so the reader's work is literally driven by familial love. although, im not sure if that means they agree or disagree with nanami about love being work.

alternatively, the reader could be a co-worker of nanami's.

conflicts/themes:

serving oneself vs. serving others

what makes love/work worth it?

"meet cute" - fushiguro megumi x reader

there are so many canon strangers to lovers opportunities with megumi lol.

like, being the person "hitting on" (asking for directions from) fushiguro during that one juju stroll.

or the person getting robbed and saved by the 1st year crew, also from juju stroll. (also applicable for yuji and nobara x reader)

there's also the light novel chapter where megumi and yuji stalk gojo at a maid cafe, so maybe the reader works at the maid cafe, and the very stoic but handsome megumi catches their eye. this scenario could also be applicable to yuji x reader or gojo x reader.

there's also an original scenario i was thinking of cuz megumi likes reading (specifically non fiction) so what if the reader was a worker at a book store or a librarian. maybe they know about sorcery already because they read a non-fic book about it and recognize his uniform when he walks in.

also i haven't seen a megumi x tsumiki's friend!reader, esp considering that one girl when tsumiki is confronting megumi about bullying lol. this one could have an interesting conflict bc that girl urged tsumiki to do the test of courage that ended up getting her cursed! so then how would megumi deal with his love interest (the reader) also being the person somewhat at fault for his sister's demise?

not a meet-cute prompt but generally i think it would b interesting in any megumi fic for gojo to be a conflict. like, as megumi's father figure, he doesn't want megumi to end up like him and suguru, so he's very hesitant about letting megumi fall in love with someone since "love is the most twisted curse of them all." but i think in the end, he might realize that love/the reader is exactly what will stop megumi from turning into suguru, so gojo ends up giving the reader his blessing.

"sugar makes blood thicker" - geto suguru x reader

tw: spoilers for gojo's past/hidden inventory/star plasma vessel/premature death arc, angst, DARK CONTENT, self-destructive behaviors, self-harm, eating disorders

summary: reader is a student at jujutsu high in 2006, alongside geto and gojo. reader is from the kamo clan and uses blood manipulation. they've been taught to keep a very strict diet to optimize the viscosity of their blood. just like how geto hates the taste of cursed spirits, reader hates the taste of their diet. they fall in love with each other, because they've finally met someone that makes them feel understood.

if you want to go even darker, the reader's technique may involve cutting (kind of like marie from gen v)

conflicts/themes:

what's the point of fighting for a world that's done nothing for you in return? ("what has the world done for me lately?")

sugar makes blood thicker, which i can imagine is harder to control for a blood manipulation user

gojo satoru is the opposite of the reader: he eats however he pleases, which includes lots of sweets, so it's hard for the reader to be around him/doesn't like him. as a result, it's also hard for geto to have to pick sides between his best friend and the reader

ending: canon ending; geto chooses reader over gojo; they turn evil and run away together with nanako and mimiko. although it could also be interesting for geto to choose gojo over the reader, or if there's somehow a happy ending for everyone here.

I have no title for this one but gojo x megumi's older sister reader

self-explanatory. during the 2006 arc, after gojo kills toji. they raise megumi together <3

"if only i could go back" - any character x reader

summary: this is pretty self-indulgent lol this one's for everyone who wants to heal everyone's trauma and just have a happy ending lmao. i had this idea of the reader either being a sorcerer or a curse who has the power to grant one wish but in doing so sacrifices themselves (they die). so, obviously, they're in high demand by everyone:

megumi wants to heal his sister

gojo wants to bring suguru back

geto wants to rid the world of non-sorcerers

toji wants his wife back

shoko wants her friends back

etc

some situations the reader may find themselves in are being held at the school so that nobody can use their power unless absolutely necessary. or maybe they were captured by the curse users.

technicalities about the reader's power: they can't grant their own wish, but they have full autonomy over whose wish they can grant, meaning the only way that someone could get their wish granted is through befriending and persuading the reader.

conflicts/themes:

characters having to choose between their wish (which kills the reader) and their fondness of the reader (wanting the reader to stay)

will they truly be happy if their wishes are granted?

how does the reader feel about being the method of people's desires but not actually being the desire?

talk to us about Charon worship, Herakles worship, or Hera worship-- three figures that get very little attention in polytheistic spaces compared to ones like the internet's darling Hermes

OH BOY WOULD I LOVE TO!! thank you for the ask <333 im so excited i gotta do all three of them and pray i dont hit character limit again LMAO HERAKLES: there's two main things that draw me to herakles: 1) his liminal nature. he's both given these divine tasks from literal birth (the snakes in his crib) but is also so deeply human. he's suffered devastating things, and yet, he keeps going, he perseveres. is he worshipped as a mortal hero or as one of the divine? there's evidence for BOTH in antiquity (see oxford handbook of herakles chapter 33 for more). herakles is often an aggressive figure, and through his labors, it can be seen as him 'taming' the wilds and being a helper to society. it's such an interesting juxtaposition and its hard for me to articulate it because of just how deep it runs. 2) herakles lives out every mystai's dream. he's an initiate of the eleusinian mysteries, has been to hyperborea, and he earns apotheosis and a life with the gods, forever in their company. i look up to that. this doesn't even mention all his other adventures outside of his labors! he's got so much going on, and it's all fascinating. herakles has a lot to do with protection, masculinity, athleticism, and averting evil. upg wise, i worship him as an example of someone to look up to -- despite all the things he's been through and the impossible tasks facing him, he's determined and never gives up and asks the gods for help (side note: his relationship with athena is so interesting). i find that he gives me courage and is just a fun and protective presence to be around. if anyone is interested in him, i highly suggest oxford handbook of herakles. fantastic book. CHARON: honestly, charon is a newer figure in my worship, so i don't have a ton of particular sources to share about him. i like that he's a friendly face to the end. i think a lot about the inherent verbal pun of 'khaire kharon' based on how similar the two words are and greeting the ferryman as a friend. there's something to me about his hardworking nature. upg wise, i like to collect my spare change for him and put it in a little dish as an offering. not just for me, but to pay it forward for anyone who might not have anything to pay him with for their ferry. i just find him to be a really interesting figure tbh and im excited to develop my relationship with him more. HERA: oh boy oh boy where do i start with our lovely queen of the gods. i love the orphic association with her and winds -- thinking about how that pairs with father zeus and his storms endlessly delights me, a cosmic dance from the king and queen. her relationship with zeus fascinates me endlessly. they both get a lot of shit on this site, but in cult, they were considered to be deeply in love (theogamia, daedala, their epithets gamelia/gamelii). hera is the keeper of father zeus' oikos (household). she is the one who decides if who gets to join the oikos and who doesn't (much of her persecution of zeus' children without her can be interpreted as her deciding who and who is not worthy of being in her oikos). in cult, she was often revered as an all-mother figure, especially in argos and samos, and i love that interpretation of her. she's a very complex figure, and i love that about her. i love her role in women's lives. i think a lot about her epithets pais, teleia, khera (girl, married woman, widow [from when she separated from zeus for a period of time]). no matter where you are in your life, hera will be there for you. i find that very comforting. upg wise, i pray to her about just about anything. i find she's always a comforting and listening ear. i like to pray to her about my relationships, given her marriage related epithets. i find that she gives me confidence and courage to stand up for myself like she does, to carry myself in the world with grace. i just really like her okay thank you SO much for this ask, this was an absolute treat to talk about. i genuinely appreciate it so much, gods be with you always and bless you

[suffarustuffaru]

Opinion on Reinhard's dad possibly seeing "the son he never had" on Garfiel? It could totally take that route tbh

It would be a fun dynamic imo

oh anon as a heinkel fan (hes soo terrible but so fascinating and i WANT to see him get better and grow as a person. but also you may have known that since you are asking me this hah) and someone who is quite fond of garf i lovedddd the recent heinkel-garfiel chapters... and LMAO this idea of like. heinkel being a bit soft on garfiel bc yay!! new son replacement!!! is SO FUNNY ive thought about it a little bit. and IT WOULD BE FUN and i think heinkels arc is super interesting bc he kinda hit his rock bottom in like about arc 7-early arc 8 where its like. its post arc 5 astrea drama so shit just got even more bleak for heinkel, hes stuck in dangerous territory and he doesnt believe in himself At All and hes too depressed to really try all that much at anything.

but then GARFIEL comes along and saves heinkel a couple times and garfiel gets hit down but keeps getting right tf up - and that goes against like literally everything heinkel thinks. he doesnt try to be better bc he doesnt think he can ever accomplish it no matter how hard he tries, but garfiel is someone who just WONT stop trying.

and we also see that heinkel learning more about rowan and cecilus and the whole deal with the segmunts has made heinkel go "oh. okay haha maybe im not as far gone as i thought" bc heinkel gets shown another example of a dysfunctional family with an extremely op son and a deadbeat alcoholic dad and theyre a mirror of reinhard and heinkel. except rowan and cecilus are like if reinhard and heinkel werent so miserable about their shit relationship, bc as shitty as heinkels behavior is deep down he still CARES. he cares a lot about his family. he misses reinhard - why else would he need schult to be a replacement? he's still mourning that loss, if you think about it. but rowan is just so batshit that heinkel immediately goes backtracking like "OKAY IM. IM NOT THAT BAD. MAYBE THERES A TINY LITTLE SPECK OF HOPE FOR ME AFTER ALL."

and garfiel is helping to be a catalyst as well bc of his own determination to always keep growing and keep fighting no matter what gets in his way. hes a spunky little kid whos powerful but when faced with opponents stronger than him Refuses To Give Up. thats inspirational i think for heinkel, especially when its not as if hes a shit fighter, dude is just outshadowed by his family and other people around him. he just has to get up and keep trying, so its interesting that heinkel DOES find the courage to try and protect garfiel while garfiel's trying not to die.

like i do think that its heinkel like having this grudging respect for garfiel after the interactions theyve had, also possibly feeling inspired by garfiel and having that tiny bit of hope in him after meeting rowan and interacting with garfiel, and also trying to repay garfiel. bc heinkel treats himself like dirt and gets treated like dirt a lot - im sure his thought process might be "this kid took the time to keep saving me even though im literally worthless and now hes in danger, this is the least i can do". i would be interested if it went the route of like. heinkel having that fatherly instinct rekindled - i think itd be interesting for garfiel as well bc. he IS lacking a father figure, but for heinkel, i think that its clear with how he acts with schult that heinkel does kind of miss having a son and having that sort of love in his life.

we know he DID use to be a good dad, and tbh i always kind of headcanoned that heinkel probably isnt that mean with most kids unless its someone like. you know. subaru. or julius. or reinhard of course. like heinkels not that much of an ass when his life is on the line or when there isnt super personal stakes involved (ie astrea stuff). hes a character that carries a lot of guilt and shame and self-hatred, someone who's spiraled into being the worst version of himself when he used to be bright-eyed and hardworking and full of love despite the weight on his shoulders - i think he would see a very kind and determined and spirited kid like garfiel (and might be reminded of the kid he Used to love) and hope that garfiel doesnt end up like him (ie lost, burnt out, and depressed). we see this sort of behavior a bit with schult too, bc heinkel tries to give schult advice and tries to look after schult a bit in general!! and garfiel's like a better version of heinkel you know? garfiel's a bit abrasive with a quick temper and all but hes extremely well intentioned in just about everything he does. and i think heinkel might have a fondness for all of garfiel's antics at this point T^T

but yes ty for the ask anon !! :o im very interested to see where heinkel and garfiel go from here, bc it looks like heinkel's started some baby steps in his growth!!

congratulations on getting an agent! that’s amazing 🎉 do you mind sharing your querying journey (what was it all like? when you started, how many queries you sent, how many full requests, and other stats? things you expected about querying? things you didn’t expect? lessons you learned? etc?)? just whatever you feel like sharing 😊

Yes!

So tbh I feel like I both had an easier but longer journey. I didn't send too too many queries (in contrast to some folks) but I was querying for a long time. I started when I was 18 for reference, so I queried for almost four years exactly (3 years and 352 days lol) but I took long pauses to overhaul the novel between query batches based on any feed back I'd gotten. I sent queries in batches of 4-6 and didn't send more until I'd gotten responses from everyone from one batch.

So:

33 queries sent (I resent edited queries to the same agents 4 times which feels a little 🧍🏿‍♀️)

6 partial requests (quick bit of advice: different agents have different specific ways they want you submit. It might be annoying to reformat everything, but just do it)

4 full requests (and let me tell you, when I sent fulls to "famous" agents, I was waiting for upwards of half a year, which can also account for the time gap)

1 offer of rep (woohoo!!!!) from an agent I feel really understands my vision for the book, and will be a great representative for me when sub time comes. For revisions, I'm not having to change any plot points, just explain a little bit more stuff so they're not too grueling. Plus I write super fast and that helps lol.

I think querying for so long definitely toughened me up. I was really expecting for the first agent I queried, who I considered a dream agent at the time, to adore my book, sign me immediately, and offer no critiques before we went on sub for three seconds and scored a billion dollar deal (and I queried her TWICE because I was just that hooked up on it lmao). As you can see, that didn't happen. I got some rejections after months, and some after only a few hours. And at the begining? Oh they HURT. They hurt BAD.

And then you get another and another and another, and the sting lessens over time.

I became a lot better at being critical of myself, which I feel like is the most important skill in querying- understanding that you are going to have to make heavy edits, kill your darlings, and just overall refine you book in ways you didn't see before. Even the version I sent to the agent I signed with was far from perfect, and I'm making revisions. And that's okay. It's a step to getting published.

It... Was hard. I had a friend tell me it was just not the right time for my book and to shelve it. I think that hurt more than a rejection. But I knew I wanted to be an author, and I knew I wanted to tell these character's stories, so I just kept working. I rewrote my book more times than I can count since I started writing it at 15. It's just all a very long process, and you have to be patient, and you have to KNOW that this is what you want to do and you're going to do it.

Last weird little tidbits of advice:

I had one person read a very old copy of my book. I had no beta readers. I never hired an editor. Don't do what I did. Beta readers can help you so so much. If you can find someone willing, have them help you!!!

Query that agent! I almost didn't query my agent because they said they were a fan of beautiful prose, and I didn't think I had that. But, after mustering the courage, I finally did and look what happened. Just send the query!! The worst they can say is no!!

If you get personalized feedback from a rejection, that is still really helpful. My book is better now mostly because of my rejection feedback because it was all telling me the exact thing to work on. For me, the writing was fine, but I tended to under-explain things. I got that feedback.... A lot. And I was able to fix it and eventually get an agent (woo!)

(even though my revisions are still centered around explaining oops-)

Anyway, I hope this was helpful! I hope I was able to give you a pretty good picture of my querying time! It was... Definately something!

[so-long-soldier28]

Sooo, I have the worst memory, can’t remember if I already messaged you (or just thought about it 😂)… but just wanted to ask you how things are going with work and the toxic coworker? I hate that you have had to deal with that! I have been out of my old toxic work environment for about a month now, and I am def mentally feeling better about it!! So still hoping you will get to a better place regarding your work environment too!!

Ahhh! I've been meaning to go back to that conversation, because I couldn't remember if I replied to you!! I'm SO GLAD that you're out of it and doing better!! I love that for you, and you deserve it.

Things are still rocky with my co-workers, and I'm trying to quit, but my boss is impossible to reach. I've had a 'notice of leave' type letter written for weeks, but I'm too scared to give it to her! The work environment is still veryyy toxic and I don't think it ever won't be, tbh. But I want to talk to her in person about my issues before straight up quitting, and then if she tries to convince me to stay - like, "no, we can work this out" (which will never happen) - I'm just gonna blame the weather and say I don't feel safe driving an hour to work in upcoming winter conditions, lmao.

So yeah, still toxic, but I'm actively trying to leave now. I'm scouring indeed for other jobs, too, or might just take a break for a month ish, while I get my life straightened out. 😅 But I will let you know how it goes, both talking to her, and when I finally get out of there!! I can see myself potentially being happy, doing something else, which says a lot because i've been pretty depressed lately, so I just have to get the courage to actually take that necessary step. But thank you, 🥹 for checking up on me! It means a lot 🩷🩷 ily

[diah-the-demon]

I have given in, Tumblrs comment character limit is driving me insane but you are right, unfortunately the vibe of sending asks is so different TT-TT

but whatever shall we do

anyways, yeah my mom also cosplays! Back when I first watched Star Wars at 8 or so I really wanted to cosplay Leia and she had the idea of cosplaying Padme,, kinda sad that we somehow never got to do that so far, maybe I should bring it back up, now that we can freely live out our interests again without anyone mocking them or making stupid comments!

but yeah I hope she understands it then slkdjslk and ngl it wouldn't even surprise me if I get the courage to ask her that she'd buy one for herself too skldjslk just lately we finished the Clone Wars after all

True!! The helmet does look really sick, it'll definitely look super cool in your room!!

From what I've heard, once you get the hang of it it seems to be rather easy? just a bit time consuimg I think with all the layers of making it look realistic and such- and noo D: but it should be rather easy to find another tutorial I think! Whenever I had to look up smth for cosplays I always found a lot of videos!

And yeah pinning it to a bodysuit does sound like the best idea to work with it!

honestly cant blame you it was getting annoying ngl, hate that the vibes are really different :/

that would be so cool if you two were able to do that!! i hope you get the chance to do that eventually it sounds so fun! (and true you dont have to worry about that anymore! no limitations dslkjjs) (i done a star wars cosplay/costume for halloween around that age, i went as darth vader for halloween in primary school lmao, it was so fun!!)

she should do, i doubt that even she would fail to see how good this deal is, its way too worth it to pass up!!! esp after seeing the end of the clone wars i think since star wars is still fresh in her mind!

im not quite sure where il put it in my room, BUT i will find somewhere eventually dslkjsdjk, maybe on my bookshelf lmao might be able to fit it in there (atleast one of them, the rest can fit ontop of the bookshelf maybe djlksdj)

it should hopefully be easy to do? if not i can always ask my mum to help since shes said that if i ever get into cosplay (very much into it now djldskjdskj) she would love to help since shes got experience making costumes for my sisters dance classes when she was young lol

yeah finding the one i saved will be impossible so il look again for tutorials in general for it. might be able to find one specific for bo-katan/sabine! (just realised id need different coloured armour for them both but i guess i can just use one set and colour it differently depending on the cosplay)

yeah i think its the best way to do it? i mean in the shows/movies you see the people wearing armour all having like a black bodysuit on thru the joint sections, should be the best option of doing it tbh

[natsumiheart]

Part 6: Reflection 

Call me Vyn because I'm a very self reflective person LMAO after I noticed my new hyperfixation, I started asking myself- wow, how did this happen? I was aware of the fact that the timing has played a part of it, but I also love analysing my emotions towards characters because believe me, if I fall in love with one, I could probably write a book about all the reasons why (this post barely covers any of it!) I’m very passionate about writing, so I gush about character’s writing a lot because that writing itself is what made me fall in love with them.

So here are some of the main points that stood out to me listed using lyrics from incredibly old songs that are not even what I listen to! LOL 

1) I can be your hero BaBEH

In Luke blossom chapter (and it might be referenced in some cards) it’s revealed how Luke became an agent. I can’t find the exact scene but Luke says that as a kid, after him and Rosa were rescued by a police officer, he wanted to be able to make people feel that comfort he felt when the officer said “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

One day at the capital while helping someone he got involved in some case and then the NSB noticed his actions and recruited him, Luke accepted because he wanted to get stronger and to be able to protect others with them. (It’s kind of sad that in the main story you notice the moment Luke reveals his identity as an agent to make others more relaxed, they become terrified instead LOL the police effect doesn’t have the same effect on others oops)

Luke also talks in that chapter about how it feels, being the “hero”

I actually completely understand his motivation, because growing up.. I had a very similar mindset. I had a bit of a rough childhood, but my respite used to be my PlayStation 2. I loved coming home and running to this very small TV we had and just boot up incredibly cheap copies of games that cost like two dollars LMAO and I idolized the heroes of the games I played and the TV shows I watched (it was mostly sonic tbh LOL) I wanted to bring others happiness just like how they did for me and others.

And I did act on it back then, but being a kid full of fears- over time my anxiety took over and I stopped. I became a person who only freezes and needs others to help instead of the opposite. Luke worked on his goal and became the hero he wanted and he keeps being that hero despite the reality he faced about the downsides, but he presses on. He basically had the courage I never had, and I admire him so much for it. He reminds me so much of my childhood heroes, and I must’ve noticed it from early on in the story.

His words towards Ted in that scene in his personal story really hit for me, I felt like Ted because I try but I’m not strong or courageous enough to help others the way that I want like Luke, but Luke says he thinks he’s a hero in his own way for trying despite being a mess, because that’s how it’s like being a hero in the first place.

I think I’m getting better now, I might not be who I dreamed to be as a child but I still try despite everything by helping others with little things and it’s starting to make me feel so much better about myself as a person. Thanks Luke lmao. 

Expanding more on being the Hero, to be one you usually have to jump to action immediately.

I experienced the event “Mystery of Bakerlon” and I noticed that they always show that Luke is always about action. If he sees any type of injustice, he jumps in to help unlike the other boys who would do it more in an indirect way. Seeing him immediately block someone’s fist while protecting another and then give those dead eyes- it does something to me LMAO

Also.. also.. YALL.. this scene

He’s also described as Rosa’s knight? And takes the role of a fire fighter as well? It’s like they know what I’m into haha.

TLDR; I love my messy hero..

2) Lay your head on my shouldeeeerrr

I- I’m revealing too much of my dirty laundry in this post LOL

So basically I have a problem with feeling alone LOL I think most people do! and I don’t mean alone as in I always want to be around others- that sounds like a nightmare. But I mean alone as in no one to turn back to, no one to cry to, no one to even talk to while you’re at your lowest and need someone.

And usually it just feels like nobody cares- you’re just there to listen to their problems and be there for them, they don’t owe you anything. And really, they don’t because it was your decision to be that kind of person, because you care about them.

Luke for some reason, just happened to say the stuff I wanted to hear the most. “I’m the rock and wind by your side.”  “I’ll always be there for you.” “I’ll always support whatever decision you make.”

So many of the cards show his devotion to the MC and I guess my delulu head ended up getting attached because those words would actually comfort me LMAOO

I can’t remember where this scene happens but one time, despite Rosa being the one in the wrong for being rude to Luke who was just worried about her not sleeping and working too much, he doesn’t get mad at all… She does apologize for her behavior (thankfully) but he’s like hey don’t worry I’m not mad, I understand. And I was here like “why don’t I have people like you in my life?” LOL 

TLDR; He’ll never leave you or let you feel alone

3) No one can hurt you nooww

Wow would you look at that? My obsession is connected to another fear of mine! LOL are we noticing the pattern? 

I have a hard time feeling safe- I’m not going into details but because of this fear every time I see a character that’s like protective, you could say I latch onto them wishing they were real so they can make me as safe as I feel whenever I see them.

Whenever Rosa feels unsafe or scared, Luke is always there to comfort her saying that there’s nothing to be afraid of because he’s here. And it shows multiple times that Rosa really does feel so safe around Luke- and I just, man! I want that sense of safety badly AHAHHA But yea I become so down bad whenever Luke protects or assures the MC that she’s safe with him

TLDR; He makes me feel safe T_T

4) Luck and control, wait this isn’t a lyric-

So, I don’t know enough for this topic cause I probably need to read more Luke cards (I usually avoid reading ones I’m planning to get in the future but my luck has been terrible) but I have a sneaking suspicion- that Luke’s obsession with planning and controlling the future comes from how he feels like he has no control over anything in his life.

You notice in his stories that he’s always meticulously planning, planning for trips- planning for the year, he has lists everywhere, keeps journals and he plans for every worst case scenario. I… I do the exact same thing LMAO part of the reason why is because it often feels like my life is always out of control so I’m desperately trying to quell my anxiety by trying to control whatever I can.

This loss of control usually comes from feeling like the world is out to get you, constantly getting in unlucky situations that make you wish you could have prevented it somehow and then it festers internally in the form of self depreciation like it’s all my fault, I deserve this. (Something that Luke also said once, I deserve this- it’s karma.)

So my theory is that Luke constantly feels unlucky and like everything is out of his control so he tries to plan and control his life to hold on to his sanity but all it does is drive the idea that he could’ve prevented things from happening leading to a lot of self hatred and guilt- 

but that’s just a theory! A game theory! Thanks for reading.

(but note that Rosa helps him through this mindset with making him be more free, a lot of the points here about Luke are actually basis for character development he goes through later on in his route with Rosa and gets WORSE in the main story which is interesting to see but also painful)

TLDR; Heyy life is against me too!

5) An angel with a shotguuun, wait- I listen to this song

Ah, the duality of Luke Pearce that somehow made me even more enamored by him.

(I can be your angle… or yuor devil) Luke is often described as warm, reminding the MC of sunshine, however he is also connected to rain (often in Luke cards if you haven’t noticed, Luke and Rosa keep getting DRENCHED LOL) Even in his confession and proposal cards, it rains on them.

His scent is described as sunshine after rain, because while rain follows Luke wherever he goes, there’s always a fire burning within him. This fire has been associated with Luke multiple times in the game.

Luke and Rain:

Luke and Fire:

There are so many more examples for both the rain and fire, and I think a lot might have noticed the fire part from his card “Sky ashes”, the event “Lukeout fire”, and his card “Invincible for Love” The rain can also be seen in cards like “Looming nightmare” and 1st and 2nd anniversary cards.

I think Luke representing both Rain and Fire also connects with his double life as Detective Pearce and Agent Raven. 

If you look closely at this card by the way.. you notice that the “Luke” side is more warm color toned with a candle to represent his warmth and fire, meanwhile the “Raven” side has colder tones and there’s droplets of water on the glass looking like rain.

do you know what results from rain and sunlight?

Luke is surrounded by rain, however he has fire burning within him that Rosa is the one able to make him shine it, and that’s why when they’re together.. a rainbow is created. A rainbow that she usually notices first, and can be a double rainbow representing how to Luke everyday with her has been a miracle to him.

Luke once says that he would always take Rosa to look for the treasure under the rainbow, but then he discovered that she was his treasure all along. I think he’s not only saying it because she’s precious to him, but because to him, all the rainbows he’s seen were created by her light. That’s why his confession gift is the two of them holding hands under the rainbow, that rainbow is one created by them.

I’m a sucker for symbolism like this, and a sucker for characters that are so well written that you discover that there is just more and more below the surface. Luke is a complex character with two sides that are still him, and I’m captivated the more I learn about him.

TLDR; God they’re so perfect and make me mentally ill 

Bonus: Heard of Rain and Sunlight? Get ready for…

Dusk and Dawn

Sunrise and Sunset

There are many other reasons like the fact I think he’s so freaking cool and I admire so much about him, or how due to my past I feel loved by gifts especially ones bought or made with me in mind- so when Luke turned out to be the type of guy to constantly be giving gifts ones MADE BY HIM and he constantly mentions that “there are not enough occasions to use as an excuse” to give gifts to the MC. Ugh- agh- I’m dying. 

I also was a huge fan of totally spies as a kid I always wanted those gadgets they had LMAO I thought they were so cool- yet Luke over here is literally making ones and giving them to Rosa for protection. Like the keychain with an alarm, a lipstick tranquilizer and a hair pin for secret communication.. GAHH so cool and- caring!!

Okok but I need to stop or else we will be here even longer and this post is already so long AHAH

[To be continued in Reblog]

Ever since I met you.

…Hello world! Lmao

Hi, I'm Natsumi, and I'm wondering who is even reading this but if you are, welcome to a very long post about how I got into Tears of Themis, how it helped me through such a hard time, and how I ended up falling in love with a certain detective.

I made this post for an event on hoyolab but I’m posting it here too in my trashcan! I already wanted to have a post documenting this online just for myself, even if in the future I cringe while reading it, I can look back and remember the emotions I felt through the year. I also wanted to share it with the world so that maybe people will feel like me, or come to appreciate this character that I love so much as much as I do. (you’re free to reblog btw!)

Warning: This post is mostly about Luke!

It contains spoilers about some Luke cards and some spoilers for his Blossom Chapter. There are small scenes from episodes 2 and 5 of main story as well. Oh, and Artem and Luke 2nd anniversary cards.

If you are here because you’re interested in learning or reading more about Luke and do not care much for the rest, I recommend the interlude, part 6, and The end: part 1. The other parts also talk about Luke and his stories but those are the most important in my opinion.

Due to Tumblr’s 30 image per post limit, this will be divided into 3 parts, each part added with a reblog.

______________________________

Part 1: Introduction

I play Genshin (shocker) and I have some online friends who play it as well, so when Tears of Themis came out globally since it's made by Hoyoverse as well, most people who played genshin went to check it out. I discovered Tears of Themis through those people, and I was recommended the game by my online friends.

What was my response?

“I have no phone storage.” AAHAHAH, yes. I'm not a day one player. I only started during the second anniversary because back when the game came out despite being interested I could not play because I did not have any device that could handle the game. My phone could not handle Genshin's size either, it's not compatible to begin with- I played Genshin on the PlayStation [emoji]

However I did not forget about the game, I was just hoping that somehow one day, a miracle will happen and I will be able to play mobile games like other people LOL but what are the odds of that happening?... Well, a miracle happened 2 years later.

Bonus: I had a little beef at the time with Artem because I kept thinking drawings of him were actually of Jumin who is a very well written character I love like crazy from mystic messenger since 2016 BWAHAHA

Every masterpiece.. has its cheap copy.. IM JKJK PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN AHAHA

______________________________

Part 2: Contact

So one day I was visiting my aunt's house and met my cousin's acquaintance. I met the guy for like.. only 2 hours and during those hours my cousin told him about how I draw digitally but I have been drawing on an 8 year old phone that stays alive for like 30 mins at a time AHHAHA

The guy was like “That's it, I'm getting you an iPad to draw on.” I laughed, thinking he was joking- but then 2 days later I received TWO iPads, one for me and one for my little sister! W t f. Angels do exist on earth? And I was never able to thank him in person because he's a busy guy who only visited my village and I never saw him again o.o

Can you guess what I started doing when I got it? Download a bunch of games I wanted to try throughout the years but couldn't! Among them was Tears of Themis. My house didn't have the best Internet and had a couple hours of electricity a day so I downloaded it very slowly at my aunt's house.

I remember so clearly about how I sat next to my sister as I was downloading the game, and it started playing the second anniversary promotion video since it was starting during that time. At first I was like “aww, they proposing!” but suddenly things turned spicy and I almost dropped the iPad from my hand HAHA.

I did not know what to expect going into this game because I stayed away from spoilers and videos about it since I knew I wanted to get into it myself one day (I was interested in the main story). It made me sad too to be honest because I wanted to play it but couldn't, so I avoided it for years.

I however, did not expect at all that the game would get THAT spicy LMAO my sister noticed my reaction and she was like “What's up?” And I was like “you cannot see this” though she is older than the game’s age rating AHAHHA

______________________________

Part 3: The beginning

I was so excited getting into this game! When I started I was incredibly hooked to the main story, and at the time.. hear this.. I had a bias towards Artem because he looked like Jumin AHAHA

I was honestly more interested though in the main story than the boys, because the boys didn't make me feel much at the time- I do not have a “love at first sight” I never had that kind of experience for real life people or fictional people. (Anyone can experience it, and that's valid! It's just for me personally that never happens.)

After knowing characters and learning more about them, that's when sometimes- I fall in love with them as a character, they end up giving me so much happiness just seeing them, they give me comfort.. And they fill up my sketchbooks HAHA is this love romantic? Usually no, that's very rare!

I did not feel much for Artem (turns out the only thing he and Jumin have in common were their looks and being socially awkward, shocker-) but I had a little interest that led to me pulling for his second anniversary card when I started being able to wish. I lost- and got a standard Artem, but then I won and got his card LMAO you can get a lot of wishes starting off. However I was doing the stories of the standard SRs, along with the main story and someone.. someone was warming up a lot to my heart.

______________________________

Part 4: Falling

The boys were all very interesting and lovely characters! (The NPCs as well!!)

Artem, despite how he comes off at work, is actually just a shy guy who is bad at communication outside of work.

Vyn is actually a very interesting and well written character being very different than the rest of the cast due to his unique upbringing (honestly? His family feels like a cult, bro literally is running from a cult) and you learn more about his own psychology the more you get to know him.

Marius is literally just an artist who wants to chase the life he wants but is hindered by responsibility and his position.

And Luke- Luke stole my heart LOL

First off, he's a detective and I've already confessed online to having a thing for detectives by a drawing- that starting since I was a kid and I watched detective conan🧍‍♀️his introduction chapter.. was very interesting. It was literally the first episode, Rosa clearly knows and cares about this character right off the bat you're like hmm? What was this guy doing for 8 years? Why did he show up now after so long? Almost making him suspicious even. But he and Rosa seemed so close despite it all.

After that Luke had started showing up in the story here and there, a moment that made me go “ohh.. what a cool guy.” Was when after Marius’ case in episode 2, he shows up on a bike like “get in we outta here” and saved her from all the reporters.

His theme plays at this scene.. my heartttt

Revealing he'd been watching her and the case from afar and was literally waiting for her to get out and get her away.

I started reading the standard SRs, the first one I did was “Among the great blue” which honestly I recommend everyone doing again because I bet you all do not remember Luke saying this about Jellyfish

The card made me go *the rock eyebrow raise* GAHAH and at the time I was all innocent, not knowing anything about what Luke was going through, so when Rosa woke up and did not find him sleeping next to her (after she invaded where he's supposed to be sleeping lmao) and Luke was hunched over like “I'm fine I just accidentally swallowed gum lol” I actually believed him 💀 there were signs, but it would fly over a player's head until things are revealed ON THE FIRST FREAKING ACT OF HIS PERSONAL STORY and suddenly everything makes sense. Wow.

When I started personal story, I was just starting it because starting all of them is part of the “Rookie tasks” event you get when you start the game. Only to be punched in the gut immediately.

This is LITERALLY what you’re greeted with when you start his story 💀

I was starting to warm up to this guy and you're telling me.. he's sick and planning to leave us.. omg.

I got to choose one limited SR from the Rookie event, and I thought Luke looked adorable so I picked his card "A star in the palm" and the story.. omg that card, I'm weak. Everyone needs to see it, READ IT!

It’s illegal to be BOTH handsome and adorable smh

After that I started WANTING to do more Luke stories so I did the other standard SRs “Radiant Sunlight”, “Timely Rescue”, “Inner Sanctum”. They were all so good, my favorite being Inner Sanctum for how much it messed with my heart.

Dude is literally falling and he STILL makes sure to protect her.

I- was dying. I started pulling for Luke's anniversary card, starting to regret my choice going for Artem's. But he wouldn't come-

So I went back to main story because that's how you get the most schips, and guess what- I had reached episode 5…

______________________________

Interlude: Luke Pearce’s Fear

The way episode 5 starts, Luke joins the NXX and Rosa is incredibly surprised seeing him there introducing himself as an agent from the NSB. Meanwhile Luke… is mad.

At first he can't believe Artem would even make her do this but she confirms to him that it was her decision, and then he spills the truth about his identity, and about where he's been the past 8 years. He apologizes, for lying, for planning to leave her again, for everything.

And then this happens.

You guys, this scene made me go straight up insane. You can tell how much he had cared and loved her for all these years, and how his biggest fear is literally the main character getting hurt or something happening to her. I felt so emotional over it, that after this act I started DESPERATELY pulling for his card and I finally- finally got it

Episode 5 BTW is one of my favorites in the main story, it is 3 parts because it's THAT good. It's when people will start seeing what Luke is as a character, what's beneath the surface you see in episode 1. (Also this episode introduced the best character: Hugh Moss AHAHH)

The parallel between Rosa, and Jasmine (the reporter whose case you investigate), was not lost on me. That reporter died trying to expose the truth which is exactly what Rosa has been trying to do. I think the entire chapter literally is showing you why Luke is so scared of her continuing the path she's in.

But you know what's the best part? He's freaking terrified, yet he never forces her to leave. He says this:

People keep saying Luke is a red flag that keeps trying to control Rosa and her actions and I swear my reaction is always “Are you even paying attention?” Luke never forces Rosa, he only shows he's against it, but he always says he will support her whatever decision she makes.

A similar more light-hearted situation is the story of his summer card “Iridescent Heartbeat” where Luke is afraid of Rosa getting hurt or doing things that are too much for her so he doesn't consider doing things such as Bungee jumping or rafting. But Rosa insists that she wants to do it and when she's visibly afraid later, Luke teases her a bit (LOL)

but then holds her close to him and soothes her saying there's nothing to be afraid of cause he's there.

He encourages her to do what she wants! And when she does indeed get hurt because the rope was too tight around her leg, he does NOT put the blame on her, but on himself-

Y'ALL HOW IS THIS GUY CONTROLLING??

(The scene after kinda got on my nerves cause Rosa got “angry” that he’s not his usual “cheerful self” like girl I love you but please- can’t you see how much you getting hurt affects him? She pretends that she’s angrier than she actually is making Luke apologize over and over like 💀 but tbh it was also funny, I don’t like how she handled it but it was funny lol)

When they go rafting Luke lets Rosa take the lead and he will follow her because she wanted to prove to him that he doesn't need to plan everything, however Rosa's plan backfires, things go horribly wrong and she can't figure out how to get the raft to go straight. Luke again, does not reprimand her in any way and only helps her so she can do what she wants. Later on even after they've fallen off the raft and onto the water he immediately holds her and takes her up to the surface so worried like “are you okay???” And despite all that, he says she's right. That she's always right and he will stop trying to plan and go more with the flow. 

Luke never tried to control Rosa, he just loves her so much that he does not want to ever see her in pain or sad. He wants her to be the happiest girl in the world.

So who is Luke? Luke is the coolest mf, a guy that always jumps into action to help others with a heart so damn big that his own emotions slowly destroy him. He has felt an astronomical amount of guilt and regret since childhood- and has cared for and loved the main character just as long. The girl who is the reason he was able to keep his sanity, the girl who he always wanted to protect, and the girl who is the reason he is still here today. 

I wholeheartedly believe that without Rosa in his life, Luke would've ended up completely different, if still alive at all.

Bonus: I remember people being like, the characters have gemstones that match their color in the proposal ring, so why does Luke have Ruby instead of something like Topaz? This is why.. the ruby in the ring represents Rosa (getting emotional over here omg) and honestly that ring is freaking insane because not only did he design and make it and its box by himself for years.. but a ruby is inside the key that Rosa gave to him.

Remember how Luke when you click on the key in visit says “I wear it like this to have it as close as possible to my heart” now look at the key.. if the Ruby is Rosa, and Luke’s heart is the key, do you see what he conveyed in that ring? Yea, I’m crying too. 

______________________________

Part 5: Obsession

I have a bit of an obsession problem, I've been obsessed with stories, games, or characters and that obsession can last years of my lifetime. And it's understandable, when you're going through terrible things in your life, you get attached to what makes you feel happy and you hold on to that feeling. That's what starts that obsession.

When I got the second anniversary Artem card I did the story immediately and it was.. it was alright. Artem wants to propose, but in his attempt to keep it all secret distances himself too much and gets Rosa worried, but then wow! He proposes with the help of his coworkers and happy ending + things get a bit spicy at the end. 

But I felt like.. like I'm getting deja vu AHAHA like I've seen this kind of story a million times before. (Probably cause I did from watching a bunch of kdramas and having consumed a bunch of stories from a lot of media) It did not exactly get me to feel anything much, I'm sure it's different for Artem stans though having him propose after probably following his story for 2 years XD good on you guys have fun with your mans! 

For me though who had just started, it did not have that much of an effect. After I got the Luke anniversary card I was excited and went into the story oh so innocently not knowing back then that Luke cards are honestly heart wrenching. 

It led to me crying in bed while the sun was rising from the window as Luke says “That's because I love you.”

The way how he blocks the wind from her and lets it hit him instead at that exact moment is freaking PEAK writing.

That card showed me a lot more about this man who is so shackled by his own emotions and circumstance, that he's willing to sacrifice everything even his own wants and dreams for the one he loves.

Have you guys seen that one official art with Rosa posing as Themis? And the boys are represented by the objects around her? Luke is the sword, Artem is the balance, Vyn is the blindfold, and Marius is the snake by her leg.

It starts to make sense why Luke is holding onto her sword to the point of bleeding, he's bleeding yet he looks up to her in absolute devotion not caring for what happens to him and his eyes are only always on her. He’s willing to be her sword, to take all of the pain and protect her so she can be happy.

My life.. has not been what is considered “normal”. I'm not going to give my backstory in this post aHAHAH but at the time when I started Tears of Themis I was going through a very bad point in my life where I was close to have given up completely on my future and accepted my fate as it is. I had shut down completely, and I went back to becoming a shut-in which is honestly something I went through for four years before, it wasn't good. 

When you reach that point, you start becoming apathetic to everything.

Luke however, somehow started making me start having emotions again. Reading and learning about this character was actually affecting me in a way I have not been affected in a long time. He felt.. real, like I could feel his emotions, his love, his despair.

And that's part of why I got so attached to him and he became my comfort, because of him, I started to feel human again.

AHA CRINGE. OK enough with the sadness.

But I'll never forget how much Luke and Tears of Themis helped me keep a grip during those hard months. I'm in a better place now, it's not good- but it's better, and I still just open this game and visit Luke to help me ground myself.

One time after a bad day I accidentally touched him and he said this, I went insane-

I think that says a lot about the state of my sanity AHAHAH

Monday of Appreciation: Part 65

Hello everyone, Smite here!

It's Monday and so I am back, bringing you MoA consistently since 2021. Should I put a trade mark on that now? Lmao. If I had more time I would make it a whole review paper. Okay that is a tiny bit over the top and optimistic, but nonetheless, the appreciation will be given. You mustn't resist :)

Update: After the craziness I posted last week, I'll go softer (or not?). My current projects are either long or haven't started, so you'll have to stay patient, thank you all!

-1-

@iznsfw: Sweet Talking ft. Sakura

Y E S, Kura smut! This dialogue only smut not only got me horny for more of IZ's Christmas posts, but also ready to finally write Sakura again... hopefully I'll make it till Christmas. Thank you for this very good piece, IZ, you never let us down!

-2-

@sinswithpleasure: [We'll Keep This] Our Dirty Little Secret ft. Chaewon

Sins writing Chaewon, omg! School uniform, stress relief, a little danger, just how I like it. Makes me want to do it in Uni tbh, although I'm a) missing the courage and b) missing the Chaewon. Maybe I'll get one soon kekw. Nice one, Sins!

-3-

@co-reborn: Reign ft. Saerom (Co-writer: @worldsover)

Oh fuck, anal galore. C.O and Levi and it's pure indulgence in and on the ass if Saerom. This is a guarantee to make you horny and an urgent call to read back the other parts. I really hope for more, you two are amazing!

-4-

@kaedespicelatte: white. ft. Chaehyun

Kaede is back, and from this one pic, we all know why. I dunno if my eyes could have been more spread open at seeing Chaehyun in that titty outfit. Click on the link to find out what I mean---reading the fic after that is a given ofc.

-5-

@ggidolsmuts: Hype Boy Hype Girl ft. Choi Yujin

Cuz I-I-I know what you like ddeun boy /

you're my-y-y chemical hype writer boy /

Y'all, listen to Hype Boy and read this fic. The clever usage of the lyrics makes it a blast to read, apart from the usual Ddeun smut greatness.

-6-

@existslikepristin: Summon ft. Lola (PIXY)

I'm angry: this has less than 40 Notes...

I know that the idol is not well know or the theme might be very unique and dark, but cmon, give it a try. It's very well written, genuinely scary and has an idol I've never seen written before. Good job, ELP!

-7-

@iznsfw: Mon Chef D'oeuvre ft. Hyewon

IZ could be on here so many fucking times, but I haven't been able to read all the new fics. I will get to them, I'm excited, but today it's ""just"" two. This one is my favorite, I swear, it's close to the perfect Hyewon fic. It combines elements I've seen in Levi's fics, with creative art smut, story telling and absolute drama. All with the touch of IZ, who is also an excellent angst writer.

I can really, really understand the #IZGOAT agenda. Fucking legendary! All Hyewon fans, READ THIS

Have nice December week, stay warm and hydrated!

thh characters with a crush on you

a/n: so we kickin this blog off with a bang, writing for LITERALLY THE ENTIRE TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC CAST LMFAOAOAOAO (excluding hifumi, yasuhiro, and the two despairs doe bc i’ve already made that clear)

also some character’s sections are shorter than others im sorry i just couldnt think of as many bullet points for them *tiktok cry emoji*

edit: I FORGOT CELSESTE FU K SORRY

spoilers under the cut!!

★ 彡 ★ ミ ★ 彡 ★ ミ ★

makoto naegi

when he realizes he likes you, he doesn’t necessarily panic or anything, but he does get nervous

nervous around you, that is

y’all saw how he was with sayaka

if he says anything that might sound intimate then he’ll immediately rephrase it or reassure he didn’t mean anything by it

he really only does have good intentions but his wording just kinda flops sometimes

he appreciates how you listen to him and value what he says

you don't make him feel dumb or inferior compared to a bunch of ultimates with actual talents

he’ll muster up the courage to tell you eventually

let’s hope his luck comes through 😁

byakuya togami

now when THIS man realizes he likes you, he a bitch nigga bout it 😐

he can't believe he fell for a common plebeian such as you

but it was hard not to

the way you preferred to get to the point

the way you were aware of your situation and didn't sugarcoat how you felt about it, although you certainly were nicer with it than him

he's ruthless

anyways

you knew your priorities and spent no time trying to use your resources

he noticed how much you had in common; in you, he saw himself

and we all know how this mf feels about himself 😐

he’ll be quick to defend you in class trials

he won’t realize he’s doing it but he just subconsciously protects you

but just because he doesn't notice it, don't mean the rest of the class brushes past it as well

yeah they on his ass LMFAOO

kyoko kirigiri

kyoko is very good at keeping her composure so she won’t be very obvious

she’ll probably just hang around you more

she’ll also defend you in class trials, calmly

“oh, it couldn’t have been [name]. i remember seeing them in their dorm around the time the murder took place.”

hifumi probably finna say some dumb shit like “aye what was you doin in their dorm doe” but anyways

she finds you respectable

if you have anything to contribute, she’ll let you take the floor

when she tells you, she’s very composed, but also very indirect LMFAO

she’s not too sure on how to express her interest in you but maybe she’ll go about it like “well, [name], now we’ve made it here, would you like to step back into the world with me?” or somethin else along those lines idk

take her hand

pls

toko fukawa

y’all know her whole “master togami” shtick

yeah so 😁😁😁😁

no but fr, toko ofc still has her borderline stalkerish 🧍🏾‍♀️ tendencies

she’ll often find herself staring at you, either in the library or in the morning meetings everyday at breakfast

but she isn’t as straight forward as she is with byakuya

i actually think she’d be mad shy and non confrontational

the whole thing she kept up with him ? yeah, never again

if you approach her first then she’ll be able to get a few words out but for most of the conversation, she’ll just nervously play with her braids

you’ll most likely put two and two together

unless ur a makoto kinnie bc then you’ll have to wait till someone else puts it in place for u but anyways

if you decide to approach her about it, you’ll kinda be backing her into a corner bc she’s just bad at deflecting things lmao

she’ll eventually confess (begrudgingly but hey i mean its better than nothing)

expect much stuttering and a gesture like giving you a small gift

and not to be that writer that uses japanese terms in english writing but toko seems like a tsundere but not really if that makes sense?? so she’d probably shove it in your hands and if you try to say something then she’ll just try to play it off as not a big deal lol

calls u a baka 😍😍

aoi asahina

i know y’all all see how she is with sakura

yeah.

aoi is the kind of person who’d like to spend time with their crush rather than shy away from them

she values you and your friendship very much

bring her donuts

just trust me bring her donuts

she doesn’t really realize she’s into you like that for a while but believe me, she is, the whole time

and yeah i think she’d be nervous to tell you bc that’s just natural but ultimately she’d be cool about it

uh oh looks like we goin for a swim

sakura ogami

similar to kyoko, she’s very calm

despite her big and bad appearance, she really is a sweet girl

she cares for you and your well-being very much

will indeed go on x games mode for you

the way she tells you is very sincere and well spoken

kith her

naow

im sorry this is like the shortest one i couldn’t think of much for her 😔😔

leon kuwata

flirtatious ass mf

and he’s lightskin

so this just cannot go well

y’all know that bit where it’s like the guy yawns and stretches his arms up and then wraps one around your shoulder

yeah that’s literally him LMFAOO

he’s very confident

he was fairly well known with the ladies at his old school so you know he’s rhockin wit it ‼️

but

you feel.. different than usual ??

those girls were just lil flings n dates bc he was nice enough to accept their confessions and it boosted his ego anyway so it was a win win

but you

he was genuinely interested in you since he had saw you the first time

he didn’t just acknowledge your appearance

he learnt about your personality and your hobbies and what you liked and such, and he really cared and wanted to hear you talk about it all

he felt the need to really make an effort to show you how much he respected and had affections for you

he doesn't tell you in a grand way

probably just asks you out to a movie or somethin

he's chillin

mondo owada

you know

for being the biggest, baddest, most respected biker gang leader

or just for being in a biker gang period

mondo’s a huge softie lol

yeah he gets violent but he’s a sweet guy who cares about and is loyal to his friends

so mfs need to be nice to you

or they gettin whooped

when he decides it’s time to tell you how he feels, he thinks over his words and he’s all confident there’s no way you’d reject him but then he sees you in the halls and goes 🧍🏾 LMFAOOO

he’ll push through but it’s like he’ll walk up to you and look away from you because he refuses eye contact and just go

“so y/n, would you wanna.. tch.. come to a drive-in movie with me or somethin’?... dumbass.”

real smooth mondo i think you got em good job

please tease him LMFAOO it’d be so funny

he’d probably yell but you can tell he’s not mad so you just keep going with it

but once you’re done tormenting him, you do agree to the movie, don’t worry 🙏🏾

also mondo would call his s/o doll

that is all

chihiro fujisaki

my fav dude in a dress <3

chihiro would be quite shy, but that’s just how he is tbh so no surprise there

he’s very kind so he’d check up on you often just to see how you are

he cares about you v much

the way he confesses is one that consists of a red face as he offers you a box of candy or something similar

and he’d feel honored that you reciprocate his feelings

he’d be very scared to tell you his secret but once he does, he’s delighted to hear it doesn’t make any difference to you

he doesn’t know how he got so lucky with you

not only because woooo they like me back but also because you like him despite,, well everything about him LMFAOO

sweet lil boy

i’d feel like he’d talk about you to alter ego a lot

and when u meet the program for the first time, he’s like “oh! you must be [name]! master’s told me all about you :)”

sobbing i miss him

kiyotaka ishimaru

okay here’s the thing

if taka were to like someone

i can’t tell whether he’d be more strict because he doesn’t want them to get in trouble (and also so it would hopefully divert any suspicion that he DOES like you since he treats you the same as everyone else, only more)

or if he’d hold back more because he favors them LMFAOO

so imma write a lil bit for both

in the case that he was even stricter:

he’d prefer to be around you because he believes the best way he can make sure you stay out of trouble is to make sure you don’t get into any in the first place

of course it’s impossible to monitor you every second of every day but he does his best to make sure you’re doing well

if he sees you do anything out of line, he’s shutting that shit down IMMEDIATELY

but in the case he let up:

he’d still lecture you but noticeably less than the other students

if your feet were resting on top of a desk, he’d ask you to move them and then leave you alone rather than yell at you and forcibly move them himself

if you notice his behavior towards you in comparison to the other students do not tease him about it he will go as red as his eyes /hj

either way he’s confessing to you with a polite but exaggerated bow while holding out a well thought out letter with both hands

sayaka maizono

she will tell you

idk why but i feel like she’d be straight up lol

she’d make sure she’s sincere

she is the ultimate pop idol and all so she wants to make sure you know that she really does like you and isn’t playing a sick joke on you or anything

ok bc

while i do think she’d tell you

i’d feel like she’d be a little indirect just to see how you feel

like she’d give you a free ticket to one of her upcoming concerts with a kind smile

and naturally, you're like :o

and of course you come to support her

and seeing you smile at her from the crowd and cheer her on was the encouragement she needed to push her to ask you out

for real this time

she asks if you wanna come to a concert with her and ur like “oh yeah i love ur shows!!” bc ur dumb and then she’s like “no i mean.. for another artist” and eventually it hits you that she’s asking you out and ur like “oH YEAH YEAH SURE THAT SOUNDS GREAT YEAH OK” LMFAOO

———

i really hope that this is good LMFAOO this is my first time writing for dr so 😃👍🏾

fun fact i finished toko’s section first and taka’s last 😁😁

and i’d like to thank @mius-imagination @bloodygir n the rest of the discord for helping me figure some of these characters out *simultaneously whips and nae naes*

bye ive been working on this for like weeks this took forever

———

edit: here’s a deleted section bc i kept blanking for this character 😍

[lemonlurkrr]

@aureateart​ ok. My favourite parts of twilight princess  (and some other random thoughts about TP sprinkled in there) taken from my monster TP word vomit google doc :

Link lmao

Ok but for real, I like this incarnation of Link :)

I love Ordon (it just seems like such a chill and cozy village)

ALSO love how easy it is to interpret Link as being a sort of older brother figure to the Ordon kiddos. It’s just,, super cute? AND GHHH nice nice good thanks nintendo for giving me characters to care about/characters that I can imagine Link caring about

He didn’t sign up for any of this (tbh, none of the Links really signed up for this jshdjsd). But I mean like, dude was just going to take a trip to castle town, drop a gift off for the royal family, and come back. But haHA oopsies he did get to castle town eventually but definitely not the way he expected hsjdhsd

He’s just a little dude?

AND FUCK. HE REALLY HAD NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE OF ORDON UNTIL ALL OF THAT

everything is new for the player AND Link

Midna

She’s cool :)

she really just

*teleports into your jail cell* hello whore.

I am no master at writing but AYYYY she do got a character arc!!!

She was actually pretty helpful sometimes, I ALWAYS checked in with her before turning to a game guide

Other NPCs

NICE

Love all of the TP character designs (ASHEI’S ARMOUR??? AOWOAOAOOAO)

Saving Zelda and all of Hyrule was important yea but thinking back maybe it was more like, the Ordonians and the kids were what was pushing Link to keep on going

I like the Resistance members :) Very video gamey of them to have one NPC assigned to each dungeon but hey!!! Kinda cool getting to see a little glimpse of each of em

Idk, it’s just fun to imagine Link popping into Telma’s bar after each dungeon and taking a little rest :) (or to celebrate? maybe just chat, idk, give this man some downtime!!)

Honestly it was just kind of nice that Link wasn’t entirely alone. I mean, I know Midna was there the whole time, but I am always for giving Link a big group of friends (see my love for hyrule warriors, age of calamity, and LU LMAO)

Hero’s shade, very very cool, kinda sad he died with regrets but HEY. He got to pass on his knowledge eventually

AND the connection to OoT?? AND assumed to be related by blood too????? GOOD SHIT

Ilia, I REALLY really wanted to like her (er, it’s not like I dislike her, she’s just,,, kinda there for me).

It definitely seems like Nintendo was pushing to make her the romantic interest, but GHHHHH they really threw that out of the window for me by having her lose her memories

I saw a text post a while ago that said it would have been interesting if Ilia was Link’s sister instead and YES!! That would have been cool too :0

Wish we got to know Zelda a little more

I feel like we barely know anything about her

Idk man, like I said earlier, I never really had any sort of drive to save Zelda during my playthroughs

She obviously knows Midna, so maybe if they gave us just a little bit more of that relationship I’d be more interested in her?

TP WORLD BUILDINGGGG

Botw has good world building too, but each race felt kinda,,, isolated? I absolutely love the different architecture and vibe each town has (and all the the weapons too) but ghhh yea everyone felt so separated. As far as I can remember, we don’t see tooo much of the races interacting with each other? Now that I’m typing that out maybe that’s to be expected because of the calamity but KLSJDKJFD ANYWAYS THIS IS ABOUT TP

The world feels nice and alive, love how populated everything is

Castle town I like castle town a lot, it feels dense and busy and I really like how you can’t talk to every NPC you see

Very cool very fun that we got to see the Gorons hanging out in multiple spots

kinda wish we got to see the Zoras a little more (I guess they are a bit limited since they need water but GHHHH the tp zoras are so prebby,,)

BUT HEY, I do remember seeing a zora or two hanging out in the hot springs around death mountain after beating the lakebed temple (I think, might have been a different dungeon) 

but aaaa would have been nice to see them in at least a couple of other places. I think it would have really added to the “congrats Link!! You’re restoring peace to Hyrule” feeling you get from seeing the Gorons hanging out in Kakariko and Castle Town

ORDON

Love how chill it is and how it’s kind of separate from Hyrule proper

They really do seem to be doing their own thing apart from the rest of Hyrule

Just kinda adds onto the “he’s just a regular dude minding his own business” kind of vibes I get from TP Link

Also I like Ordona :)

THE LIGHT SPIRITS,,

Love their design

And love how they’re not exactly like a pure white?

Different spirit representing each aspect of the triforce my beloved

But yes hi I think Ordona is very cool

Who are you, how did you get here, which goddess do you represent? Do you even represent one of the three golden goddesses? Do the Ordonians know about you? Have any of them ever SEEN you??? Do they worship you? Does anybody even know about the existence of the light spirits?? FUCK so many questions but ghhh I like how they broke the status quo a bit by throwing in a fourth spirit :)

I feel like this one is kinda weird but I like that voice sample they used in the light spirit music. It’s spooky and pretty at the same time :)  

cutscenes mmmmm

Ok ok, the spooky lanayru cutscene is very good

BUT THE “Link, Chosen Hero! Lend us the last of your power!” CUTSCENE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM LOVE IT SO MUCH

IT just

Idk man

It just hit different

I like the music

And seeing the light spirits swimming around in the light juice water whatever it is

Summoning the light arrows?

AND HHHHH “Lend us the last of your power!” THIS IS IT. This is the final battle.

Seeing Zelda bow down, and then Link putting his hand out 👌👌👌

Link: ok bud, let’s do this together :)

Connection to OoT (did I already mention this? Maybe., Whatever)

Very cool nintendo :)

I love seeing connections between all the diff zelda games.

Because like, on one hand, they’re all separate from each other because of yknow, individual hero stuff. BUT ALSO, they’re all connected because of the reincarnation stuff

Grrrr walking through the sacred grove and going “The Hero of Time walked around here a long time ago” FUCK THATS SO COOL

Is the Hero’s Shade watching me? What does he think of me? DIsappointed? Proud? The Hero of Time went through HELL so this timeline didn’t have to deal with any of the shit Ganon was gonna pull with the triforce, better not fuck this UP Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Midlink is cute

Kinda hurts that she smashed the mirror but that was probably so Nintendo didn’t have to worry about people going “but what about the twili??????” for any of the other games LMAO

BUT ALSO LIKE SKJDKLJFJ There are some pretty massive plot holes in TP anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whatever it’s fine we’ll just use this for angst because GOD do y’all like angst

So is Shadlink

Honestly don’t know where this ship came from but it’s cute so whatever

THE MUSIC??

Love Midna’s theme and how they referenced the dark world theme from ALttP (I remember trying to learn the dark world theme on the piano and doing the Leonardo DiCaprio point meme at the little jingle I recognized from Midna’s theme)

Hyrule field theme SLAPS.

Apparently references a couple of the other over-world themes from the previous zelda games (I got this from 8-bit Music theory’s video on the over-world zelda themes, he talks about TP at around 11:40 but def recommend watching the whole video if you’re into music analysis stuff)

So there’s this bit of the Hyrule Field theme, I don’t know the official name for it but I remember seeing somewhere it being called the “at an advantage theme” since yeah, you hear it during the boss music whenever you expose their weak points. FUCKINGGG LOVE THAT. Didn’t notice it during my first playthrough, but hearing it during my second was like a little easter egg for my ears every time :)

Midna’s lament is very pretty (and fun to play on the piano)

COURAGE THEME.

I didn’t care for it too much when I started playing the game but hearing it in ZREO’s arrangement of the Hyrule Field theme literally makes me turn into a puddle of emotions. Also hearing it around and of the Ordon kids (I think it plays after Link saves Colin) AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Orchestra piece #1 and #2 HOLY SHIT???????????????? 

Literally, the first time I listened to those I just,,,, plugged in my headphones, volume 100, layed on the floor/against my desk and silently vibed. I don’t know what the hell it is, but those two just fit so well with TP?? I still avoid listening to them nowadays cause if I DO I definitely will get overwhelmed with the “god I love this game so FUCKING MUCH” kind of feels.

Wolf link sucks at singing

the first time I heard him howling Zelda’s Lullaby I lost my shit because LKSJLDKSGLKJFSKG god that was.,, Bad. Anyways, hearing him howl some of the songs from OoT was cute :)

TP STAFF ROLL??? 

VERY GOOD. IT’s like 10 minutes long and GOD do I love every single second of it. It doesn’t have the same energy as the skyward sword staff roll or the orchestra pieces but GOD does it hit good??

Nice and calm after that big exciting adventure. Maybe it would have been more fun or emotional to have a higher energy piece but it was really nice getting to sit back and watch the camera fly around Hyrule. Seeing like, the Gorons and the Zoras having a good time, the kids returning to Ordon? GOOD SHIT.

and AAAAA that end, when you hear the main Zelda theme and see Link riding off out of Faron woods on Epona… good shit. It gets you thinking, where the hell is he going? What is he doing? Off ot do more adventuring? Going to help out the resistance or something? Going to help Zelda? Or maybe he’s trying to figure out a way to restore the mirror of twilight? Whoooo knows.

hhHHHHhhh it’s just that final reminder that YES!!! YOU JUST PLAYED A ZELDA GAME. JUST ANOTHER STORY APART OF THE WHOLE EPIC OF THE ZELDA SERIES AS A WHOLE

I also want to acknowledge the instrument/samples they used for all the twili stuff.

They’re all just so unique and contrast SO well with the rest of the TP OST. LIKE FUCK!! Anytime I hear the screech from the Twilit Kargarok? Sends a shiver down my spine. I associate those sounds SO strongly with the twili realm. (Like, the same way you associate the BSHEWW VVWWMMM sounds with light sabers)

I love it so god damn much

literally any time there’s a certain sound or motif associated with something I lose my shit

Sacred grove sacred grove sacred gro-

lovely lovely lovely so much fun playing that on the piano. AND again, I did the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme when I heard the theme from the lost woods come in GHHHHHHHH

shoutout to TP Faron Woods for helping me study and get through all of my schoolwork

BLEGUUHHH can you tell that I really love music?

and also yea I guess TP is kinda cool too :\

IF YOU READ ALL OF THAT THANKS I GUESS

[m11ch1ru]

Alright. You guy’s already know what it is. We back with “Fart headcanons.” Yes, this time it will be females. Please tell me if you’d like a part three, since I obviously won’t be covering everyone, lmao. ( this might only be Mondstadt females for now. Sorry about that, lmao. Maybe I’ll do a liyue one?)

Genshin impact fart headcanons

Mondstadt women

Amber

Get’s very flustered every time she does it. Her farts are very soft and gentle. Probably very short, sadly. I feel like they would smell like cabbage, not gonna lie.

As she was guiding you on your wind gliding exam, I feel like she would’ve farted as she was speaking!

Most likely would blush after farting, then after a few seconds of smiling would say, “I am so, so sorry…” then just continue talking about what she was initially speaking about!

Her face would get very red after farting, scared that you would stop talking to her. This isn’t a common occurrence, so don’t expect it to happen very often. She hates embarrassing herself!

Noelle

Farts are silent, but deadly. Very smelly. Makes you wanna gag, but you don’t want to say anything about it too her, knowing she’ll be very embarrassed.

Once you finally worked up the courage to ask her, it most likely went like this.

“D-did you…fart, Noelle? It smells very…*sniffs*..stinky, in here…”

“Hm, oh, uh..hm..n-no?..eh..”

“Oh..okay..I’m gonna get back to what I was doing…”

She would probably try to hold them back after that, scared that she wouldn’t become a knight if she farted.

Lisa

Short and wet. Probably smell like fowl, if I’m being honest.

when lisa is at the library sorting out books she'll sometimes let out little farts when dust gets in her nose causing her to sneeze.

Whenever you and lisa go on dates she'll let out big wet farts while eating and pretend nothing happened, maybe even just laugh it off!

Pretty uncommon to catch her farting when she’s with you.

Jean

Probably doesn’t fart. Or you can just never smell/ hear them if I’m being honest.

But I’ll tell you one thing, when she’s alone or just when she’s with Lisa, she’ll let them out relentlessly. Doesn’t even care, doesn’t laugh it off or nothing.

When she’s with Lisa or by herself, most likely very loud and juicy.

Lisa just laughs it off or says nothing as well, haha.

Barbara

short and airy. Doesn’t really smell like anything..maybe car oil?

when shes doing concerts sometimes she lets farts out on stage and they can be heard in the mic!

Probably just giggles and let’s everyone laugh it off.

Tbh, I doubt anyone has a problem with it.

Fischl

Ah yes, Prinzessin der Verurteilung. Let’s be honest, her farts are probably silent but DEADLY. Most likely smell like grass. I doubt they’re very long.

Probably farts while adventuring with OZ.

I doubt OZ makes any comments on Fischl’s stinky farts.

Or..maybe OZ farts with Fischl? Hm….

Mona

Same with Jean, probably doesn’t really fart much.

But when she does, most likely smells like Metal? Idk why but

Very strong farts. Like, powerful if you know what I mean.

Very stinky as well. That strong metal smell, like when you sniff your fingers on accident after dealing with money kinda smell.

Sucrose

You really never hear her fart, but when you do they’re just little squeaks.

They’d just smell like your stereotypical fart, nothing to it.

End of story.

Eula

Her farts are loud. Like, really really loud.

Most likely smell really, really, bad. Like, cornstarch..but rotten..

Eula doesn’t fart often. I feel like whenever she’s like, going for a walk or something like that one will just slip out.

Tries her hardest not to fart in public, her reputation as a Lawrence just got a little bit better, she doesn’t wanna destroy everything and have to work her way up all over again.

O Neighbor, Neighbor wherefore art thou Neighbor?

Neighbor! Stripper! Toji x Neighbor! Reader

—you’ve got something of a crush on your hot neighbor who also happens to be an ‘english’ teacher, you can often times hear him recite lines from Romeo and Juliet from the other apartment and it never fails to make your heart flutter. One Friday night your friends beg you to come with then to an all male strip club only to find out that the most popular stripper is actually your neighbor, but this discovery might be the push the two of you need to finally make a change in your relationship.

cw: smut, no preparation, getting railed against a wall and on a chair, fluffy feelings tbh, toji grinding dat thang on u lmao

a/n: This is apart of @pinkkento’s magic mike collab, it’s my first time doing something like this before and I’m super excited and I hope you guys like it and thank you again @pinkkento​ for being super sweet and including me in your collab! (read my a/n at the end of this pls!)

Your ear is eagerly pressed against the wall. Your eyes dart to the clock on your wall, it’d be starting soon. Truthfully, you had nothing else to do on a Thursday evening, this had become your weekly tradition.

“Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” Toji recites and the familiar feeling of your heart pounding against your chest arrives as if on cue. It feels childish. But Somehow you’re imagining yourself as Juliet and Toji as Romeo. Two lovers drawn together by boundless love. It’s so romantic.

You fall backwards onto your bed and sigh. If only you had enough courage to go next door and say something to him, you wouldn’t have to imagine yourself as a fictional thirteen year old girl with a crush..god, when you actually think about it that sounds kind of pathetic.

Your phone vibrates with a text message and it’s from your food delivery service. The guy was waiting outside. You climb out of bed and slip on your flip flops, you hadn’t swept in a few days and you’re sure there’s a few loose thumb tacks around better safe than sorry, extremely sorry. You walk over to the door and poke your head out only to see no one. You look over at Toji’s apartment and there the guy is, casually talking to your neighbor. When he spots you his expression changes, he’s smiling and it looks adorable.

“Oh! That’s her, I told you this was the wrong apartment” he explains and the guy apologizes as he walks over and hands you your food. He doesn’t stick around to say goodbye but Toji does,

“Chinese?” He asks, probably noticing the familiar bag with the restaurant’s logo on it. You nod,

“Tonight is definitely not a cooking night, work kicked my ass” you admit and Toji chuckles.

“Don’t work too hard now, pretty girls shouldn’t stress themselves out by working so hard” he gives you a wink and you're practically turning into the sun with the amount of heat your cheeks are radiating. Did he just call you pretty?

“Well- I should go before my chicken chow mein gets cold..” you squeak out and he’s chucking at your reaction.

“Parting is such sweet sorrow” he tells you before waving and slipping back into his apartment. Your sanity is in shambles as you close the door behind yourself.

‘Parting is such sweet sorrow? What did that mean? Did he actually think you were pretty? Ugh! Why can’t guys ever be straightforward!’ You thought as you slurped away at your noodles.

+

On your way out the door the next morning you found yourself on the same elevator as your neighbor. Living on the second highest floor meant the two of you would be sharing the same space for a good minute.

“So..how was dinner?” He asks, the two of you are standing on opposite ends of the elevator, there’s a gap big enough for three people between you. If only you were actually brave enough to close the distance.

“It was good, what about you?”

“Well, I had leftover spaghetti so I guess it was as good as leftovers can be” he shrugs and you make a noise of understanding

“They say food tastes better the next day anyway” you tell him.

“It was three days old..”

There’s a silence in the elevator before the giggle your holding back spills over. It turns into a bold laugh that brings a smile to Toji’s face and he too starts laughing.

+

You seem to run into your neighbor constantly after that. The conversations are gaining more and more depth than before. There were always the questions of ‘how are you?’ And ‘did you sleep well?’ But then you guys talked about more personal things like family and even aspirations. It drew the pair of you closer together. Each other’s feelings are quite obvious but neither of you actually speak a word of it.

Tonight, Toji was coming over to your place. Initially, he was just coming over to drop off a copy of the art of war but then he told you that there was something he wanted help with, he didn’t say what but you didn’t mind, the guy you liked was coming over to your place. That sounds like the ideal situation for something to happen.

When you heard the knock on your door you were already standing in front of it, you were excited to see him but you didn’t want him to know that! He might find you desperate so you waited a few minutes before opening it.

“Welcome!” You greeted as you stepped aside and he nodded before entering your apartment, his eyes immediately falling on your open laptop on your small dining room table.

“That the thesis I’ve heard so much about?” He wonders

“Yup” you say as you shut your front door.

“I hope you're not too stressed out, if you ever need help, I can help” he reminds you and simply thank him and nod, as if you could possibly forget him being an English teacher. From his own bag he hands you your copy of the art of war and you take it from him—trying not to freak out about the way your fingers grazed against each other. You both take a seat at your dining room table, you shut your laptop and set it to the side.

“So..what is it that you needed help with?” You ask and his face lights up in remembrance as he digs around in his bag, he pulls out a script.

“I was hoping you could run lines with me?” He says and you find yourself nodding maybe a little too eagerly that you ought to have. He flips through the pages to find a single highlighted scene.

“Are you familiar with Romeo and Juliet?” He asks and your mind flashes back to the awkward class readings of the play.

“A little” you chuckle, mind flashing back to the nights you spent listening to him through the wall and he gives you a smile. He points to the lines you’ll be reading and gives you a few moments to familiarize yourself with them.

“Ready?” he asks and you give him a nervous nod of your head.

You begin, “By whose direction found’st thou out this place?”

Toji scoots in a little closer to you, “By love, that first did prompt me to inquire. He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.I am no pilot. Yet, wert thou as far as that vast shore washed with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise.”

You feel your breath catch in your throat, your heart pounds again and that fuzzy feeling bubbles up in your stomach.

“Actually..can we skip a bit ahead? There’s these lines I'd love to hear you say”

He notices your puzzled look and quickly corrects his wording, “I meant that I need to help with them..” he chuckles and you find yourself feeling a little disappointed but skip forward anyways.

“O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?” Toji recites and you can feel his gaze against your skip, you lift your eyes from the script and meet his own.

“What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?”

“Th' exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.”

“I gave thee mine before thou didst request it, and yet I would it were to give again.”

“Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?”

“But to be frank, and give it thee again.And yet I wish but for the thing I have.My bounty is as boundless as the sea,My love as deep. The more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.”

The world feels frozen for a second, your faces draw closer and closer, lips mere centimeters away from the other’s. Your heartbeat is pounding in your ears. This was it, it was finally going to happen. The blaring noise of your alarm interrupted the moment, forcing both of your attention to it. You suck in a breath. A wave of dissatisfaction washes over you and you can hear Toji sigh next to you.

Then you remember that you've got the night shift tonight. Fuck.

“I have work actually...I’m sorry I wish I could've been more help” you apologize as he packs up his things with a small smile.

“Don't worry about it, you were plenty of help” he reassures and on his way out he gives you a wink. Once you're sure he's completely gone you lean back in your chair and sigh.

+

“A strip club?” you ask your co-worker who passes you the different cans to put on the shelf.

“Yeah! Apparently, it's so famous even some celebrities have visited” she cheers, handing you another can of beans.

“I guess it couldn't hurt, I haven't done anything but work for weeks” you admit and she’s squealing, arms wrapping around your torso effectively making you drop one of the cans.

You're lucky your manager hadn't seen, that would've come out of your already small paycheck.

+

For the nights leading up to this one, you hadn't seen your neighbor once. It felt like he was avoiding you. You didn't see him in the elevator nor the hall or anything, he was probably busy with the play he was rehearsing for but you couldn't help but feel as if you'd scared him off by trying to kiss him.

Hopefully, tonight would clear your mind of any thoughts and you could just let go and have fun and that's exactly what happened, the night was going great, there were hot guys in barely anything and just as you were ready to go for the night you heard there was to be another performer, your friends begged you to stay (even though you had to work in the morning).

You took a seat in the front, your knees could practically touch the stage. You heard the announcer call him and the velvet curtains of the stage opened and there stood a tall man with jet black hair, wearing a suit and holding a copy of Romeo and Juliet, his face was covered by a black and white mask that matched his suit.

Huh. He kind of reminded you of Toji.

Wait- no, you're supposed to be forgetting him this evening, so why were you thinking of him?

The music was shut off. Then a chair is moved on stage where he sits and begins reciting lines. His voice was so similar to Toji’s too. After a bit of reading, the music continues and he tosses his book onto the stage’s floor and he slips himself out of his suit jacket, the crowd cheers and women throw money onto the stage as he undoes the buttons of his button up. His pants are torn away from his body and he’s left in nothing but a skimpy black and white g-string that leaves nothing to the imagination.

He makes a running start for the pole at the front of the stage and uses the muscles in his arms to pull himself upwards, his head hangs upside down while his hips grind against the air. From so close, you can peer into his mask and his eyes catch yours and a look of realization befalls them. He continues his routine  and for the rest of the night doesn't look at you once.

Your friends are tipsy and tired by the end of his performance. They're ready to go, but you still have some suspicions to confirm. You encourage them to go ahead and instead wait around until closing. You're outside, it’s pretty chilly and your small jacket isn't protecting the chill from seeping into your bones.

But then the door opens and there he is.

“I..y/n '' he looks like a deer caught in headlights and your mouth opens and closes, unsure of what to say. You weren't necessarily mad, more disappointed that he didn't say anything to you about this.

“Toji...I knew it” you start, is this what he meant when he needed help rehearsing? He was just helping you practice to be the ‘lewd English teacher’ at a strip club, was he even a real English teacher?

There were so many questions, so many things you needed to know the answer to.

He slides his coat off and wraps it around your shoulders, “Let’s go back to my place to talk..”

+

“So..are you actually a teacher?” you ask, fingers gripping the cup of tea, anxiously awaiting his response.

“Well, yes, but I’m a substitute and the school’s original English teacher came back so I needed some way to take care of the bills” he explains, he looks ashamed and you take a sip of your tea as you try to absorb and analyze his answer.

“So did you just tell me to practice with you so you could go on stage then..?” y

“Actually..no” he says and you cock your head to the side confused.

“Then why do that?”

He takes a deep breath before saying, “I really just wanted an excuse to get close to you and I figured what a better way to do that than through the wise words of Shakespeare”

You can feel your cheeks warm and not because of the tea, “I’ve actually been wanting to get close to you as well” you confess and gently rest your hot cup on the counter in front of you, “I thought me trying to kiss you scared you off”

He chuckles softly, “That could never happen, I just wanted to apologize for all the confusion”

You shake your head, “I know how you can make it up to me”

“How?”

+

He spread your thighs for you as you scrolled through your phone for a song you wanted him to dance to. You don't hide the way your eyes glanced up at his clothless body.

“Pick a song?” he asks and you nod, he walks over to the lightswitch and lowers the brightness in the room, covering the space in a seductive dimness. You press play and the slow sound of the beat thrums through the speaker.

Toji starts by gently rubbing his hands over your shoulders, fingers tingling the hair on your neck. His hands travel lower, down your chest and to your stomach, his lips tickle your ear as they brush against them.

“ready?”

You nod in response, words completely failing you.

He walks around to your front and he places his foot on free space between your thighs and begins grinding his hips a little too closely to his face. You suck in a breath and he gives you a sinful moan as he tosses his head back. He drops to your lap and grips the back of the chair while his hips move in punctuated circular motions against your lap. You can feel him hardening with every roll of his hips. Your own thighs press together as you make eye contact with him. He looks like he's enjoying this way too much.

He grips your thighs and raises your lower body into the air forcing a squeak out of you and you grip the back of the chair as he grinds himself against your clothed cunt, surely feeling how wet it is even through your panties. He gives you a cocky smile as he grinds right up against your clit and you give him a whimper of his name.

“Toji fuck..just..move ‘em out of the way please” you plead and he raises an eyebrow down at you.

“You sure?”

You nod and he doesn't need to be told twice, he drops one of your thighs and moves the scrapy lace out of the way before lining himself up to your entrance. He slowly slides himself in, the two of you are moaning in tandem at the feeling. You let go of the chair and wrap your arms around his neck and mush your lips against his, months of wanting and yearning are behind that kiss and Toji can feel it. He walks the two of you over to the nearest wall and without much effort begins slamming his hips against yours. Your moans are muffled by his mouth, the feeling is something unlike you've ever felt before. You can tell he feels it too with the way his hips are nonstop, your fingers trail from his neck to his hair giving the short locs rough tugs as your thighs squeeze around his torso.

Toji can tell he wont last long, the mere thought of finally getting to fuck his hot neighbor is enough to have him teetering over the edge. Everything is amassing into bringing him to the edge, the way you moan, the way your cunt sucks him in so invitingly. His fingers desperately reach between the two of you to rub at your clit. Your back arches off of the wall and you can feel your cunt spasm around him as you cream on his dick. He follows right behind you, hips stuttering as he cums inside of you.

Your entire body feels heavy, you can feel toji slip out of you and the cum drip onto the floor. He carries you through the apartment and rests you on his bed.

“You can sleep, I'll take care of the mess” he reassures and you give him a small smile before your eyes flutter closed.

a/n: goddamn...this was a lot of writing lolol im also sure there’s still quite a bit of editing that needs to go in this but I'll do that at a later date tbh 

[obeiii-mee]

Could I request the brothers (and maybe Diavolo, if you're comfortable) reacting to a knightly/chivalrous m/c, please?

———————————————————

I haven’t written Diavolo in a hot minute, I’m glad he’s being requested again. I’m guessing you mean an MC with the attributes of a knight? The same sort of mannerisms and traits and not an actual knight! MC? Lemme know if I did this ask wrong because I was low key confused lmao.

———————————————————

The Brothers + Diavolo with a knightly/chivalrous MC:

Lucifer:

-He really didn’t like you upon first meeting

-He hated how he couldn’t intimidate you into not being a nuisance the way he could with most of his brothers

-But, to be honest, you had gained his respect rather early on

-I think, even though it may have annoyed him to no end, Lucifer was very fond of your bravery a lot of the times

-The way you would stand up for Mammon or that time you protected Beel and Luke from his outburst

-Courage is not a trait one would usually associate with humans, especially when more superior beings like demons are involved

-Your humility was also a characteristic of yours that he, surprisingly, was really fond of

-And your overall mercifulness was something to be congratulated as well

-I mean, him and his brothers put you through so much shit and for you to forgive and move on without an angry word at any of them kinda speaks on its own

-I think he understands, to an extent, the reason you’re so loyal to the people you care about too

-He has a certain devotion for Lord Diavolo and his brothers, more than he lets on

-To him, having someone like you around is something to be appreciated

-Because you are similar but also completely different and nothing like he deemed you to be at the beginning

-yo i think you remind him of himself back when he was angel tbh

-He’s sort of tired of saving your ass tho because you are very just, so you feel the need to help people all the time which leads to you getting involved in fights

-Bring him his 20th cup of coffee for the day please, it’s hard being a single father of 8 children (yes I’ve added Lord Diavolo he counts as one of the kids)

-He’s the definition of this incorrect quote I stumbled across a while back

- MC: “FIGHT ME RIGHT NOW!”

-Lucifer, from behind them “ Do not.”

Mammon:

-Ok so this random human comes to DevilDom and has the audacity to slap his hand away while he’s trying to steal from Diavolo’s castle????????

-“MC ya’re forgetting I’m a demon, my moral scale is wayyy different than yours-“

-“Put it back.”

-“......ok.”

-You’re coming at him with rightfulness and honor and your presence is gonna hit him like a truck

-Cuz he ain’t stealing anything when you’re around (lucifer uses this to his advantage ofc.)

-That was basically the only thing he disliked about you

-Other than that, after your first week in DevilDom, he thinks you’re a goddamn S A I N T

-Everytime you stand up for him when his brothers are being assholes-pls he melts into a puddle of goo from your perfection

-OOFFS AND ALL THOSE TIMES YOU GAVE HIM GIFTS BECAUSE GENEROSITY BBY

-Good thing he was wearing sunglasses, because holy fuck was he weeping under those Gucci shades

-He’s gonna give ya props for having the courage to stand up to him and his brothers

-Lucifer especially because big bro scary

-Think about it like this: literally every single one of them could have you seasoned and roasted for lunch, love

-And yet you still have the bravery to look them in the eye and tell them: “Ya’ll are dysfunctional as fuck and need family therapy.”

-Again, he doesn’t understand your morale, he’s the Avatar of Greed, if he sees something he likes or seems worthy of his presence, he takes it

-But with that look you’re giving him, he honestly feels so guilty he can’t help but put it back

-He also appreciates your patience with him when it comes to anything that involves him talking about his emotions and thought process

-Because at this point he is widely known as scum so-

-Ahhhh, in the end, he thinks you’re pretty badass for a human and would low key want to see you in an armour of sorts agajwhisebhwjwwhehgdhdh

-And he really likes it when you make the effort to open doors for him too but he’ll never have the nerve to admit it

Levi:

-Believe it or not, he warms up to you in less than a day...?

-It’s probably because he’s a navy commander and he’s used to having soldiers around and you sort of remind him of that

-Out of everyone, he reacts the least when he sees how you carry yourself because to him it’s second nature

-Even if he does tend to slouch most of the time

-Almost dropped to his knees and started worshiping you when you yelled at Mammon to give Levi his money back on your first day

-And then a friendship started to blossom (im not friendzoning y’all, relax)

-Levi has a tendency to just walk into your room with his laptop, point at the screen which is paused in the middle of an anime and go “Look, the protagonist is a knight. You’re also...really knightly. I like the protagonist. I, uh I like you too, I guess.”

-He loves how honest you are because he knows that no matter what you wouldn’t lie to him

-“MC, do you think I’m a yucky otaku?”

-“No.”

-“But-“

-“No.”

-“Oh ok.”

-But on the inside he’s like 🥰🥰💞💞💞💞

-I just think that a knightly MC would connect on an emotional level with Levi for a lot of reasons, idk

-He’s gonna be a sputtering mess when he realises how much effort you put into this relationship (platonic or romantic) and how loyal you are to it

-Like how you actually bother learning all of his stupid passwords because you are just as serious about them as he is

-He just crashed, give him a moment to reboot please

Satan:

-He takes a while to warm up to you because for some reason your overall demeanour reminded him of Lucifer lol

-He thought you might be just as stuck up as him

-It didn’t take him longer than a week or so to come to the sudden realisation that you are way more pleasant than his brother

-Like his daddy, you manage to earn his respect pretty quickly after that

-He just thought the way you handled everything that was thrown at you in DevilDom was very sophisticated but firm nonetheless, if that makes sense?

-Like, you weren’t itching to escalate fights or anything but your tone of voice could easily end a whole conversation if need be

-You were still a human of course, it would be real easy for some low rank demon to kidnap you or something

-But for some reason, your confidence seemed to intimidate a few of the weaker ones into leaving you alone

-Obviously, that didn’t mean you were completely safe or anything

-There were still others that could effortlessly overpower you

-Even so, Satan found it sort of reassuring that unlike some humans, you weren’t one to back down without a confrontation

-Don’t get me started on all those times you rebelled against Lucifer, because that’s what truly got him to get to know you better

-He found you pretty interesting and then that interest sort of evolved into actual fondness

-Another thing that caught his eye was that even though you have very strong feelings about justice and fairness, you are completely level headed most of the time

-And patience, while it’s something he can manage, is the one that he has been trying to control for centuries

-He learned a lot from you about behaviour, whether you intentionally taught it to him or not

-And if there is one thing Satan thinks highly of; it would be knowledge

-Therefore, from that point onward, your existence was so much more precious to him than your soul could ever be

Asmo:

-What can I say about our sweet Asmo?

-You could have the personality of a trashcan and he’d still love you

-You were so polite and honourable from the beginning to the point you managed to get the attention of the Avata of Lust himself????

-He thought you were pretty hot basically

-hoWEVER

-Your righteousness always sort of nagged him because he low-key believed Diavolo snuck in another angel into the program, I-

-And for some reason, your loyalty to everyone in general ticked him off immensely at the beginning

-Mainly because he recognised that’s one of the traits he lacks entirely and he came to the conclusion that he needs to revaluate himself on that one

-He is so desperate for your attention, he will tattle on his brothers just to get you to yell at them and then comfort him

-“MCCCCC, MAMMON STOLE MY NEWEST MAKE UP KIT AND IS ABOUT TO SELL IT ON AKUZON!”

-he is so petty istg

-Your nobility still catches him off guard every now and then

-Because you’ve been living with demons for so long and yet you’re still, theoretically speaking, pure?? get your head out of the gutter people

-He probably applauds you on the fact that you can even scare Lucifer on some occasions because imagine having a scarier death glare than the eldest prince of hell

-Asmo will personally buy you clothes that he thinks suit your “aesthetic” (wtf Asmo)

-Might’ve bought you a sword and then got shouted at by Lucifer because oops turns out it was cursed

-Again, supportive mom vibes

-“MC, do you know how stunning you look strutting around with that confidence of yours? Don’t get me started on your posTURE!”

-You pulled a chair for him once and he practically swooned lmao

Beel:

-He figures you’re really nice from the start

-Mostly because you kept running errands and opening doors for him even though he let it slip that he might lose control and eat you

-Like most brothers, he finds you comforting in a way

-Beel appreciates your honesty to him too because he can count on you to tell him when he’s doing something wrong

-And he sort of needs the validation that even though he blames himself for a lot of things that took place in the past, his brothers and you are more than ready to forgive him (even if they didn’t blame him to begin with)

-Rather than respect, Beel puts a lot of trust into you, which I would believe to be more intimate

-If it’s just the two of you hanging out, he has an easier time opening up about Lilith because he knows you would never judge him and respect his feelings enough to let him get it out of his system

-You always share your food with him and give him a bigger portion and he goes so soft-

-Like who allowed you to be this generous?

-Tbh, he thinks it’s sort of refreshing having someone like you around

-Beel has been surrounded by demons for millenniums now and he’s gotten used to their...uh ‘evilness’

-Ever since you got dropped off in DevilDom, you really stood out with your nobility and morals

-It was like a breath of fresh air in a way

-He may or may not believe you’re a good influence on his siblings-if you can even influence demons of all things

-I’m not saying he invites you to work out with him and give him honest criticism, but he definitely invites you to work out with him and give him honest criticism

Belphie:

-“Out of all the humans they could’ve chosen, they picked the most annoying one, oH MY FUCKING GO-I MEAN DAD-“

-You go up to the attic that one night after tricking Lucifer into vibing to some classical TSL tunes

-He spotted you and was immediately irritated

-Like, he KNEW you were going to be a pain in the ass just by judging your posture and how you carried yourself (very knightly)

-At the start, he’s even hesitant to lie to you because he had a suspicion you wouldn’t buy his bs

-(Spoiler alert: you didn’t but you went with it either way)

-It takes a while for you to forgive him when he literally fucking kills you because that was rude af but you got over it in time

-AFTER of the whole ‘Sorry-for-choking-you-can-we-be-friends-now’ incident, you still get on his nerves a lot but at this point, he believes that’s his punishment for being a murderous dickhead

-You don’t really piss him off tho, you just confuse him a lot

-Why are you so polite? You keep pulling chairs and opening doors for him??? Why are you treating him like royalty?? Stop it, he doesn’t want to be like Lord Diavolo (he def likes it when you do that)

-Pls stop dragging the poor man to breakfast, he just wants to sleep in-

-He doesn’t understand how you’re always one time for everything

-My dude tries to wake up 20 minutes early to get somewhere in time and he is still 2 hours late

-sTOP TRYING TO FORCE YOUR IDEALS ONTO HIM, HE’S A LITTLE SHIT WHO ENJOYS WATCHING PEOPLE SUFFER

-All the same, you’re a very forgiving person so he’s just grateful you don’t hate him or anything

-And in the end, it doesn’t really matter how much your chivalry and righteousness and all of that pisses him off every now and then

-Because he can’t deny the fact that you brought him and his brothers the peace they needed

-And he so loves it when you and Lucifer go head to head mhmm

Diavolo:

-This big tittied man right here takes a liking to you immediately

-A couple of days in DevilDom and he’s already inviting you for tea at his castle

-You managed to befriend the prince of hell faster than the demons you live with, huh

-He’s lonely ok? He loves having people over and having cozy chitchats

-Not to mention he thinks you’re such pleasant company!

-Most demons would be afraid to even say anything in his presence but you always speak your mind while continuing to be respectful and he’s so happy, you don’t understand-

-Only demons in close relations to Diavolo like Babrbatos and Lucifer actually know how much it takes for someone to anger him

-He doesn’t take offence to much lol

-And he’s really content that you acknowledged that

-He sometimes visits you in his spare time just to talk and hang out since Lucifer is a big meanie who doesn’t want to indulge him and Barbatos is busy making him dinner >:(

-SPEAKING OF- if you and Barbatos don’t bond then i don’t know what to tell you

-I mean, you would both have so many things in common (strong sense of loyalty, honesty, just in a way etc.)

-You’re his favourite guest to have over at the palace, sorry Luci you’ve been replaced

-He genuinely finds you interesting as well so please tell him stories from the human realm!! He’s dying to learn more!

-Diavolo notices you demeanour sort of gives off warrior vibes so-

-He really considered making you into a knight bc it’s Diavolo-what he says; goes

-“I know they’re human but they’ll be fine. Look how tough they are! They managed to survive a year with you and your brothers didn’t they?”

-“My Lord, that doesn’t amount to anything, please don’t get our human killed-“
