#i now have the image of two stupid himbos where the one thinks his friend saying that means he needs to get him pregnant

[yuri-is-online]

Do you think that when an animal goes extint in TWST, the beastmen versions of that animal just look at eachother and go "yo this is crazy... we gotta get someone pregnant now- don't look at me like that! Do it for the species survival! Species survival!"

Also you you think seahorse mers write fpreg fanfiction

I know you got that last question from a tumblr post confused, we're both at the devil's sacrement rn. But to answer it in general, that depends on whether or not they're writing fic about other seahorses. Biologically, the female seahorse deposits her eggs into the male's birthing pouch, where he fertilizes them with sperm. Female sea horses don't really have a place to grow a baby or a way to fertilize the egg... their breeding process is sort of the reverse of how every other animal does it. I could see seahorse fpreg being a very niche genre of smut but I spent way to much time trying to figure out the logistics of a joke for someone who just woke up.

As for that first bit yeah two dumbasses have absolutely had that conversation before. It wouldn't work, but some drunk guy has absolutely said that to his buddy and then idk. Used it as an excuse to smash. Probably thought it was a clever pick up line.

[karniss-bg3]

So, I don’t mean this in a request way, bc I know those are closed, but I had a daydream where Tav is TERRIFIED of regular spiders of all sizes. They struggled really badly with the phase matriarch and the spiders in the goblin camp. But Kar’niss doesn’t spook them one bit!

So I imagined the group walking down the road and suddenly there’s a tarantula sized spider that crosses the path and Tav screams and dives underneath Kar’niss to be caged under his legs.

And everyone else laughs at the reaction, but Kar’niss is so confused????? Like “True soul, we are a DRIDER, and you are not afraid of us. Why do you hide from a small spider?” “KAR’NISS I TRUST YOU, NOT THAT SPIDER!”

Bonus: to speak to Tav he leans forward with his drow torso and looks at them upside down so he look really silly.

This scenario applies to a good portion of the Kar’niss fandom in general. I can’t count how many “Kar’niss has cured my arachnophobia” posts I’ve seen but I’m not mad about it. I suppose it helps when a humanoid is attached to the creature we find creepy or frightening. They can talk back and communicate their intentions. Spiders are a bit more...unpredictable.

I’ve never considered myself arachnophobic but Kar’niss definitely elevated my interest in spiders ten fold. I feel I have a better understanding of them now than I ever would’ve and I’ve come to appreciate nature’s pest control. I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of watching jumping spider videos and I’ve become obsessed. I’ve even contemplated getting one as a pet but two things have stopped me from having a fuzzy friend.

1) I have a cat and if the little guy ever escapes she will activate murder mode and that’ll be the end of itsy bitsy’s whole career.

2) Jumping spiders tend to live one to two years on average. I don’t think I am emotionally equipped to handle that loss with such frequency. I’d become a blubbering, inconsolable mess for days on end mourning the eight legged pal I spent years bonding with. No can do.

I could imagine Kar’niss being perplexed by Tav’s fear of spiders for two reasons. One being the aforementioned situation that they are hanging around a drider willy nilly no problem. The second, Kar’niss comes from a society that worships and pampers spiders. To him they are as normal as dogs and cats are to us.

“True Soul, why do you fear the spider but not us?”

“The spider might bite me but you wouldn’t.”

“Erm—how much do you know about driders?”

Cue the bosom buddies to lovers story arc. Kar’niss learns to love himself and Tav discovers that spider bites aren’t as bad as they once thought. *wink wink*

Also the mental image of Tav getting sent to spider leg jail anytime they did something stupid does amuse me. Considering most of the Tav’s I make are classic himbo types they may as well situate their sleeping bag under him and get comfortable. Yet another moment where I wish I learned to draw.

Thanks for the ask!

[a-quiet-feeling]

*Opens a very beautiful, electrified box*

We talkin' canon?

This man entered Erik's life first in a DREAM! A dream that came to him on his birthday.

He didn't think too TOO much of it because he's had dreams where he wasn't quite himself before, so this didn't feel too crazy.

But eventually, having seen this man in his dream, when he gains access to Level 5 spells, he uses this mental image to Scry on Goro for the first time. From that point forward, Erik sets aside a bit of his better judgement and continues to Scry on Goro pretty regularly--

THOUGH eventually, it comes to some good and the Scry leads to the party picking Goro up from a situation that would have proven to be life threatening!

From that point forward, Erik and Goro slowly get to know one another better as Goro remains attached to the party.

One BIG note being that he has been cursed with magic that wipes his memory after every business week (every 5 days). Having woken up suddenly in the middle of nowhere naught but seven years ago with no recollection of who or where he was, Erik empathized deeply with Goro and since has been dedicated to finding a way to fix this ailment, and even moreso when he finds out their circumstances may be linked.

Then commences a very bumpy rollercoaster that is Erik trying to keep up with the storm of a person that Goro is~

Now, let's talk DYNAMICS. Both in Canon and in AU.

You're probably thinking Erik? Himbo! Goro? HIMBO! Himbo on himbo action. Sort of?

But Goro is not as airheaded as he might seem, it's just that he's just sort of overwhelmed all the time, having to learn a lot of things from basically 0 so often. He's actually quite attentive and quite insightful, just really impulsive and reckless!

Erik, on the other hand, not the sharpest, but he's got a lot to offer in terms of intuition and being scrappy! His instincts are pretty en pointe but he's going to say some stupid sounding stuff.

Think of them more like this:

A man (Erik) who has lived his whole life with no direction or personal ambition and another person (Goro) who gives him the motivation to be more curious about his (Erik's) past, present and future.

There are times when Erik, who has always felt lost in his own shoes, feels like he can be helpful and teach someone who is genuinely interested in learning from him and that is really fulfilling to Erik. Someone he can dote on a little bit and welcomes it and that's really satisfying.

When Goro smiles and looks like he's having fun and comfortable, Erik's heart and stomach melts and he feels at ease. Erik obviously cares very dearly for his team mates at the moment, they've really helped him with a lot of his stuff, but there's something about Goro that hits different, you know?

In Modern AU, it's a bit different because I picture their relationship a bit different since there's no magic curse that wipes Goro's memory every 5 days. I've employed the estranged childhood friend returns trope on their relationship.

Erik is an older university student that lives just off campus in a two room apartment that he used to share with a classmate before he moved in with his older sister. Needing a roommate to keep afloat on rent, Erik puts out for applications and impulsively accepts the first one he saw that suited his needs and suddenly his new roommate is moving in?

Erik, a bit confused and overwhelmed by the unknowns of his decision, opens the door to his apartment to find a handsome person who claims to be his new roommate. I wrote about this to friends before:

Erik helping Jude move his stuff out and get over to Wyn's apartment since they agree to live together for a portion of the school year while Wyn readjusts to being back in school (I kind of headcanon that she took some time off but comes back when things get back on track with her). The conversation is really chill, like, J: "Hey man, I'm sorry I asked to move out so suddenly, I know things are really busy on your side--" E: "It's all good, Jude! Don't worry about me one bit. If it makes you feel any better, someone's already applied! I think I'm going to just let them move in--" J: "You should-- really interview people you're thinking about living with--" E: "It'll be just fine! I'm trusting my gut on this one, and my gut says it's a good applicant!" J: ….

Fast forward to Goro driving all his stuff over to the dorm / apartment really early in the morning, waiting at the front of the building after Erik tells him that he'd be down to help him move his stuff in bright and early. No sign of the Erik.

Goro was given a key to the building and apartment preemptively and fiddles with his keys at the unit door, pushes the door open and it opens about halfway before it hits something. Cue Erik dead asleep, sitting on the floor after having just taken his shoes off the night prior, after what was probably a full day of both classes and errands around the entire campus.

Goro: 😐😬😰"Hey… Man, are you alright?" Pulls at his shoulder and tries to gently shake him awake.

Erik, stirs pretty quickly and kind of wakes abruptly; he gets up half squinting and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes; "O-Oh crap, I'm so sorry-- You're the new guy, right? I'm so sorry- I said I'd help you move in--" Finally opens his eyes and their stupidly saturated, complementary coloured eyes meet. Goro and Erik in unison, like -- "Have we met before?"

My brain is so filled with them--- So so sorry to anyone who has to see this HAHAHA~

[another-om-mc]

prequel to [this] @himbo-beel

That stupid fucking kid! Fuck angels and fuck Luke in particular. I hope he can hear me damning him to hell. Lucifer in his demon form is a sight indeed, should he have been any other, personality wise, it would be potentially a beautiful figure, but the mutual animosity taints the image. Well, that and the fear of death.

Magic. We learned a spell for this! He’s attacking and hes coming for us! The adrenaline has already kicked in and everything is moving so slowly, but even then hes so fast. This stupid angel kid is going to be the death of us, my dumb brain is going to be the death of us, Mammon, and Beel, and fucking… Lucifer is going to be the death of us!

“clypeus!”

It worked! It’s working... It’s not fast enough! Everything is so slow, and I can see the shield of magic forming, its gold... that makes sense. I want to protect them, it’s a desire so therefore a greed in a sense, so it makes sense. It’s so weird to see it; I’ve never used this kind of magic; I’m not that brave. My hands sting like burning grease is poured on them, the pact with Mammon probably giving strength to the magic itself; but it’s so thin. Maybe if I want more? Please, make it thicker! He’s so close! I want to protect them, I want to help, I want to live! I want I want I want I want I want I want I want – WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Why did she step out! Mammon is so fast, why didn’t my shield spread fast enough?! Shannon is already stepping out; she didn’t see me, or didn’t know what I was doing, or- who cares it doesn’t matter, I want to protect her most and she’es not behind the shield!

Shes yelling at him, and everything is so fast now! The tint of gold between us is gone faster than it appeared and I need to catch her. Beel and Mammon are moving so much faster than me. I’m no good at this. I’m so useless useless useless useless -CRACK.

Oh no.

Seconds. Seconds out of my grasp and I don’t know if she’s ok! I’ll kill him if she’s not ok!

I know I’m scrambling and fumbling and not very coordinated; it’s hard to see, my fingers are numb, my blood feels like ice, my hands hurt. My hands... they’re in her hair and its so slick. I don’t need to look at it to know it’s blood; what else would it be, but it isn’t everywhere, so she must be ok? “PLEASE!” I don’t want to shake her but she isn’t responding and I don’t know enough! I don’t know any healing magic yet! They didn’t cover it! “Wake up!” I can’t see, and I can’t help, I can hear them all arguing and fighting, and things are breaking. She’s so much taller than me, I can’t pick her up to leave with her. Useless. All I can do is fucking cry and wrap around her so no one can touch her. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up.

Someone’s touching me!

I whipped around so fast, teeth bared and snarling too much like an animal. I still can’t see, even when I try to blink away the stinging moisture, its still so blurry, but I can see orange, and it’s fine. It’s Beel. I can trust him. Is he ok? I can’t even tell.

“Please?” I don’t even know what I meant but that; please help? Please just pick her up for me? Please don’t let her die because I’m selfish... I don’t even know if he heard me, I couldn’t even hear myself, but he picked her up any way. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. He’s walking away with her and I scramble after them, digging the back of my hands into my eyes so I can see. I don’t what to look at the blood. Normally I don’t care about blood, but right now isn’t normal. Nothing about this place is normal.

I had a thought to look around, see who else was still here, what was going on, but I didn’t. I just watched my best friend lay like a corpse in Beel’s arms as he carried her to who knows where and followed like a kicked puppy.

Guilt. My fault. I did that to her. She wouldn’t have been hurt if I wasn’t so nosey. I keep hurting her.

We’re in ... a room? Who’s room is this? It’s cute.... There’s two beds? Beel. It has to be his room.

He’s setting her on his bed and I still don’t know what to do... “Thank you.” It’s still a whisper, but he nodded, so I know he heard me. I wonder if he thinks it’s my fault too. He should.

I keep wringing my hands; I didn’t even notice I’d been doing it. I hope Mammon doesn’t feel how gross it suddenly feels. The smeared half dried blood. The guilt. ... He doesn’t need to feel more guilt.

What if I had used my pact? What if I had told him to protect her? Would that have been better?

Theres a loud growl and I jump out of my thouhts and snap my attention to it and sigh; It’s just Beel. He looks so uncomfortable. I’m sorry.

“I’ll make food, if you stay with her.” He looks at me, a lot less hate than I expected. I show him my hands in the most minor way; I realy want to wash them. Please know I want to wash them. “She would mush rather wake up to you, I’m sure.” The smile is so forced, I don’t even have to see it and I hate it, but it’s true. She probably hates me now... that’s fine though, I hate me too... “She likes you, it’d probably help.” I failed, I failed her specifically even, why would she wanna see me first thing?

“Can you make that much?”

I laughed a little; I don’t really know why. “Yeah.” I nod.

[simpgoose]

Alright alright so. Day two ig, this is a poorly thrown together doodle I did late last night as a wind down between my day and bedtime bc I went ahead and randomized. We pulled Blake (right), a pansexual cis man who is my partner's character. (Yesterday, I think I forgot to mention that Lainey is my character and Drew was also my partner's *rip*) Blake is sort of? a main character, in that he is sort of the """viewer's""" main exposure to a specific group of OCs that are all mine, being the Estrellas. Blake himself grew up in the small town that said group of OCs would eventually collect in, and he knew one of the foster kids before she was in the system- Heather (not in the image), who was his best friend. Ultimately, her home life was *fucked*, and when put into the system, she managed to qualify for the specific parameters that the Estrella house was looking for (this will not make very much sense at all but it's important for Blake I am so sorry if this sounds like non-sense) Anyways, his friend changes her name to Summer bc her old name carries a lot of trauma. They grow up together, best friends, dependency issues develop, still close, but he opts to move to California after HS graduation to pursue an acting career. Now, what happens there is dark, so I will put that at the very bottom with TWs and stuff, but for anyone who wants to avoid that, I'll give you a trigger free run-down; Meets girl, falls in love, things go Terribly Wrong, he ends up in a psych facility/rehab center, comes back, while he's dealing with all of that trauma, he experiences a lot of lessons in life and love with said group of OCs and the other people that exist in his home town. He *at current* is set up to end up with Summer after lots of therapy and a third poly member named Maxine, but also Blake is such a lovable goofball of a sunshine himbo that it's hard for us to not want to write him a romance with *everyone* there (in fact, we have given him a happy ending with almost every character in this setting, to the point where we've considered making a dating sim). Blake is a guy that loves to play into the big idiot golden retriever stereotype, but he is actually pretty intelligent when it comes to visual language and cinematography. He knows a surprising amount about color theory and framing, and has a lot of emotional depth and awareness that he's improving through therapy. All Blake wants to do is put more good into the world than bad, and sometimes that results in him taking the brunt of the bad if it means he feels like he's doing some good in the process. - Now. About Ophelia (left, my OC) and what happened in California and why we felt she was the most necessary adjacent OC to place here even though she has very little "screen time". What happens in California is never focused on very heavily in the story aside from how it effects Blake as an otherwise totally optimistic and almost "happily stupid" type of character, but it's written out in such a way that you can understand *why* it effects him the way it does. These topics aren't meant to be taken lightly. -

TW: Drug use mentions, non-explicit su*c*de via OD - - Blake has. An extremely hard time finding acting jobs, as you would probably guess, considering the stereotype. Through a friend, he's been able to crash with some acquaintances in town, who are more than happy to provide him a support system. But he's a small town kid in a new city with complete strangers, albeit friendly ones. One of those strangers is Fawn, who introduces him to the local party scene. There, he meets one of her acquaintances, Ophelia. Ophelia is pretty, charming, witty, and bubbly. She's got cool gray eyes that still feel warm, and he's never felt quite so shy about only having brown-hazel before. Something about her feels familiar in a way none of the people he was staying with did. They spend a long time talking; he finds out she's looking for model work in the city, and he mentions his want to be an actor. They very quickly spiral into dating as two optimistic kids looking for their shot at fame. However. Ophelia happens to have a group of friends at about this exact time who start getting into some *hard* drugs. She's battling self image issues, despite the fact that everyone's encouraging her that she can find model work as she is, and ends up leaning into these for not only escape, but as a means to lose weight. Blake, in one of the deepest mental pits of his life, starts doing this with her. The support group that he was with starts getting shut out as they call attention to the dangers of using this substance. They try to talk to both of them to get help, but with the codependency and addiction, it doesn't sound like reasonable advice to the two of them, and so they run off. They live on the streets for a very short period of time, crashing with some of Ophelia's crowd. Eventually, they do manage to get a very, very, very shitty motel room for a few nights. Blake goes out, trying to look for any work to get any more money, and comes back to a letter that only says "I love you" on it. Blake calls the paramedics and the cops. He calls the friend he had back in his hometown, the one that recommended him to said earlier support group, who drives several hours just to come sit with him. This is Bailey Estrella. She talks to him for a while (and tells him that her friends had been extremely worried about him after he ran off), and eventually convinces him to go to a rehab center. She drops him off, and hangs around with her friends that she had recommended him to so she can keep an eye on him while he gets better. When he eventually does get out of rehab, Bailey helps him move back home after having a small celebration with him and her group of friends. Blake is aiming to go back to college for photography now, having fallen out of love with his movie star dreams. In spite of all of this, Blake really tries to uphold that sunshine demeanor.

Chapter 11: Oh Shit, He’s on X-Games Mode

It’s Saturday, day of our roof Ki Ki! Hoshi and I kept everything low-key as possible. For the most part, I slaved away in my room, making the cyberkid outfits for the twins. Not going to lie, it was all very exciting to be sneaking around like this. Wonder if this was like when my mom did things under my dad’s nose in the dorms? To answer your question....no, I didn’t tell my parents that I’m doing this. Might get in trouble but FUCK IT! We’re just a bunch of kids, groovin’, vibin’ and extremely gay.

First ones to show up were the twins for the make over. Lucky us that the class rep went to bed early tonight, so he didn’t see the twins come in. Same thing with the others, some resided in the dorms and they snuck in everyone else in the group ahead of time. We got things JUMPING! It was something out of those voguing videos I showed them. Some came in drag, some in casual cosplay and it was overall really cool. I was in my halter top and parachute pants and Hoshi in his himbo outfit. We all danced and hyped each-other for hours, in those moments, I didn’t care about the time! It was just perfect.

“Thanks for coming!” I said to the twins as they were packing up their set up “here’s something extra for an amazing night.”

They see me handing them cash and they shook their heads “We don’t want your money, it’s cool.”

“Huh? Why not?” I was confused.

“Mifa and I were thinking that we’d just come when you ask us to mix master for these things” Dore smiled her trademark goofy smile “We’re been wanting to do this kind of thing, play want we want, play according to the vibes of the place! Your group gives off the vibes we wanna play for, so we’ll be reserving saturdays for Ki Ki’s.”

“Deadass?” I responded “I’m so happy you two like the vibes we give here! So I guess it’s cool if we do this again next week? Same time?”

“Hell yea!” chanted the twins.

They leave and I check the time, it’s 5am.

“Aww shit, Hoshi, we gotta go to bed!”

Hoshi yawns “Yea, get’s go” He says as we make our way to the room “ya know, that was the most fun I’d had in a while. You really showed out on the dance floor.”

“You did really good too!” I praised him “When you threw in that C-walk, I knew it was game over for your opponent!”

Hoshi laughed “Shut up! That rocket launched death drop was the queeniest move I’ve ever seen! It could totally be passable as a fighting move.”

We got to our room and just flopped onto bed.

“Hope you don’t mind my stinky-ness” I apologized “I’m too tired to take a shower.”

“I don’t mind it” he said as he took off his shoes “we’ll just shower later.”

“Ight then” I turned to my comfortable position “night night!”

“More like, good morning!” Hoshi snickered before laying down to shut his eyes “see you when I wake up.”

A few days ago, we got Hoshi’s bed in the room along with one of those foldable room dividers. It feels weird not sleeping in the same bed as Hoshi but everyone needs privacy every now and then. Wonder if he feels the same way? I’ve noticed that he’s developing to be a little more independent from me, it’s not concerning, but is he doing it because he feels like a burden? Whatever it is, I don’t feel like I’m a position to ask.

-Later in the day-

“Hey did you guys hear the music last night?” asked one of the girls in our class “It was so weird! It was like there was a dance battle with the people cheering and the beats were something else!”

Hoshi and I were sprawled out on the commons room couch “I’m sure it was the intel students.” I answered to make us sound innocent.

“It wasn’t them” the class rep spoke up “I checked outside my window to their dorms, no party of any sort!”

“Oh then do you think it was inside the dorms?” asked Toei-kun.

“Who knows? I didn’t see anything” the class rep responded “but next time, I’m going to investigate!”

“Aww don’t be lame! What if it’s the 3rd years?” I commented.

“I don’t care! It’s a nuisance!” he crossed his arms “Call me lame all you want, thank me later.”

I gave Hoshi a look and he gave me one back. Crap, we gotta be careful now! Wonder what mom would do....wayment! I got an idea.

“Oop, I don’t like that face” Hoshi joked “what dangerous little idea is floating in ya head Lili?”

“Oh wouldn’t you like to know weather boy” I teased and giggled “Can’t give all my ideas out like that!”

“Oh just kiss already!” cried out one of the girls “seriously! I can’t stand all this tension, pining and coy looks. Literally, everyone here doesn’t care if you two are a thing” she stands up “We. Ship. It!” she said with claps after every word.

Everyone in earshot agreed “We don’t have a thing for each other!” Hoshi and I yelled back.

“Stop it everyone!” sensei said as he walked into the room “I’ll tell you this, your mom and dad said the same thing but everyone knew your dad had the biggest dumbest crush on you mom. He told us behind closed doors.”

“Wait, how did my mom not know?” I asked as I know my mom doesn’t let anything slip by her like that.

“We didn’t say anything, some of us wanted her too” he admitted “so it was a competition for her heart and attention. So this scene reminded me so much of those days where she’d pop in to help us with strategy or english homework and Iida-kun would be all over her, not letting any of us shoot our shot.”

“Ew you wanted my mom sensei?”

“Well...at the time I did” he flushed in embarrassment “but I accused her of doing naughty things with your dad on the night of the school dance because her purse was in his room. But it was a coincidence and she hated me ever since” he sighed “Never get on her angry side is what I learned from all that.”

“Wow, that’s mega messed up sensei” Hoshi shamed “no wonder you’re single.”

The whole class hollered at that roast and you could see sensei’s life crumble...he never did recover from that roast.

But I told Hoshi about my plan for next time, since the twins don’t want my money, I’ll pay Sube to warn us when the class rep is on his way to the roof. I asked her to be on guard for us and she said yes when she saw the money. Every weekend from then on out, we didn’t get caught...or so we thought.

-3 months later, parent meeting at UA-

“Thank you so much for coming to this meeting!” chirped the principal “this is a better turnout than some of the other departments.”

“Shall we get started?” spoke up Midnight “Theres a lot to discuss.”

“Yes, well, there’s some issues within the dorms” started the principal “every weekend, there’s a commotion going on for hours after lights out. Nobody knows were it’s coming from but that’s within the hero dorms.”

“Weird, Lili hasn’t mentioned anything about it” Tenya chopped “and she’s a light sleeper!”

“That’s because she’s part of the problem” the principal pulled up security images “your daughter and her friend have been recorded coming back from something at around 5am. Oddly enough, it looks like they didn’t leave the premise.”

“Why isn’t the teacher more aware of what’s going on?!” out-bursted one parent.

“They have a point” Ita spoke up “my daughter and her friend were attacked a few months ago in those dorms, and even then Minoru didn’t know until the damage was already done!”

That got the other parents muttering to themselves “I’m capable of protecting your kids! They wouldn’t have hired me as a teacher if I wasn’t!”

“You and I both know that the Rat Man didn’t run any sort of background check!” Ita argued “Aizawa was hired because of his quirk but didn’t have any type of teaching credential! And neither do you! Like seriously Minoru, why the hell did Nezu hire you?!”

“I ask myself that everyday since that Rat died and asked us to bury him in the school garden” Midnight sighed stressfully “Stupid Rat had too much power and knew his word was law!”

“Can we stop talking about Mr. Nezu?!” butted in the current principal “Look, if you think you can do a better job at finding out what they’re up too, I invite you to do so.”

“Fine, I will” Ita huffed.

“Me too!” Tenya gave an affirming chop.

“Us too! We’ve been noticing our daughters sneaking out on Saturdays” said Kaminari “pretty sure they’ve been hired to mix for whatever this is.”

None of the other parents said that they’ll help, so the meeting went on as planned. Ita and Tenya decided to snoop on the following Saturday...

“This really takes me back” Tenya sighed “just us hanging out, under the stars, with an urge to kiss you.”

Ita blushed as she felt her husbands arm wrapping around her waist “Please contain yourself Tenya, I’m trying to see what’s going on. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Mimi’s quirk” she said as she squinted to control the quirk “better stop grabbing my ass and grab those binoculars!”

“But it’s been so long since we’ve gone out alone” he picked up the binoculars “just one little makeout under the stars? Please love?”

“The faster we bust this, the sooner we can do whatever you wanna do with me” Ita said as incentive “And I mean anything, anywhere, as long and rough as you want it~”

Tenya put the binoculars immediately up to his face “I’m focusing on the target as we speak!”

After a while, they finally saw something “Hey, did you see that? The roof access door opened!” Ita perked up.

“Whoever they are must’ve stolen the keys!”

“Actually, the roof access door is the only door in the dorms that isn’t secure” Ita admitted “it might as well be dead-bolted with a piece of gum! I’d go up there to smoke with Aizawa and Shinso all the time.”

“Ah! I was wondering where you’d run off to” Tenya came to realize things from the past “can’t believe all this time, the roof is where you were. No wonder you and Shinso were so close and how Aizawa oddly favored you.”

“Yup, HOL UP! Look Tenya” she refocused on the roof “more people are showing up to the roof! That means that they’re all students.”

Suddenly the lights set up turned on, revealing the faces of the people on the dorm roof. “I don’t believe it, there’s Lili and Hoshi, Dore and Mifa” observed Tenya “there’s at least 15 people on that roof, and are some of them in...drag? Is that the correct word?”

“It is! Aw you remember!” Ita gushed at their partner “watching all those drag shows really stuck in your head huh?”

“We’ve been married for almost 19 years, of course I remember drag terms” Tenya said confidently “But what are these kids doing? There’s no way this a conspiracy meeting, why would you dress in your best drag just to talk?”

“GOD you’re making me so wet right now” his wife growled, biting her lip “careful babe, I’m close to just saying ‘fuck it’ and teleport out of my clothes.”

Tenya took off the binoculars and turned to her “You are really tempting me” he laughed “if this was a real mission, we’d be breaking so many laws right now.”

“When has that ever stopped me?” Ita giggled as she turned to face her husband “Or is it a crime to show my husband how badly I want them?”

“God I wanna-” the distant sound of electronic music interrupted Tenya “oh? That’s weird.”

Ita looks again and zooms in on the action “Are they? WAIT! Tenya! They’re voguing in pairs” she says in disbelief “it’s a vogue style dance battle! These kids are having a Ki Ki!”

“Oh my! That person with the feather boa is really sissying that walk” he said peering in the binoculars “Looks like it was just a misunderstanding, I don’t think this is a bad thing.”

“Me either, if anything, we can blame the lack of extracurriculars in hero schools” she said matter of factly “This isn’t something I’d bust them for but I’d like for them to do it openly and in a safer location.”

“I see” Tenya responded “what’s the next step?”

Ita rubbed her eyes to deactivate the quirk “We can either report this to the principal as a misunderstanding and talk to Lili later OR we can talk to them now and report later” she blinked fast “Which-ever we do, it will start a debate on whether there should be extracurriculars in hero schools. And you know my feelings about that.”

“I’d say we leave them- what the?” Tenya was refocused on the dorms “Ita, Denki just pulled up to the dorms.”

“What? I can’t see right now, can you tell me what he’s doing?”

“He’s entering the dorms...OH Kyoka is with him too!” He commented “and they’re going in the elevator. I think they’re going to crash the Ki Ki.”

“Stupid Denki!” Ita groaned “he’s going to ruin everything because he doesn’t understand what a Ki Ki is!” she grabbed Tenya’s arm “We gotta zip in first before he busts in and opens his mouth.”

He puts his hand out “Do what you do best darling” he encouraged his wife as she puts his hand on her chest.

“Hee Hee, oh you! Just like old times” she giggled “Hang on!”

They teleported to the roof of the dorms and everyone froze in fear.

“Mom? DAD?!” Lili screeched “Wha-what are you doing here?!”

“Hi Lili, and hello to y’all too!” Ita warmly greeted “sorry to zip in like this, but there’s a nuisance coming up on the stairs.” she turns to her husband “Stand your ground! Let’s defend these kids!”

“Right!” yelped Tenya as he got in his fighting stance “Let’s do this!”

The others we murmuring on who were we talking about until the roof access door swung open. Out stumbled Denki, swatting away a bird, and Kyoka.

“Why don’t this bird leave?!” Denki winced “OW! Not the face!”

“You’re hopeless!” Kyoka cringed, then her gaze shifted to her kids “Dore and Mifa! Do you have any idea how late it is?!”

“But mom we-”

“Mom’s right babygirls” Denki stopped them from responding “You’ve been sneaking out and that’s not very cool” he noticed their outfits “and that’s not appropriate clothing! We talked about this girls!”

“Denki, Kyoka...please listen to us” Ita spoke up before the situation escalated “I agree with the sneaking out, not okay, BUT these kids aren’t doing anything bad. I don’t see why you don’t agree with their cyberpunk aesthetic.”

“It’s too revealing and just strange!” Denki pointed at the his daughters “I said they could dress however they wanted when they move out pay for their own things. And as long as they live under my roof, I will have a say in their decisions! I don’t want them to be like you, running aloof with your partying and making out with random boys!”

“WATCH YOUR MOUTH DENKI!” Tenya raised his voice “that’s my wife you’re bad mouthing! She was young when that happened, she’s nothing like that now!”

“Denki, shut your mouth before you say something regrettable” harshly whispered Kyoka.

“This is some real tea” Lili commented “the twin’s dad is kind of a bigger asshole than I thought!”

“And I thought my dad was controlling!” Hoshi blurted.

“We are going home this instant!” Denki demanded “you can deal with the rest of this but my daughters are my business, lets go girls.”

“NO DADDY!” screamed the twins.

“Excuse me?! Did you just use your no-no volume on me?!” Denki was appalled by the display of rebellion.

“We don’t want to go home yet!” Mifa said as she grabbed her sister’s hand “Dore and I like mixing for them, we feel like ourselves with them and I don’t have to hide anymore!” she takes a deep breath “Mom, dad... I’m gay and there’s nothing you can say or do that will change my mind.”

“And I support her 100 percent” Dore added “I feel like my truest self in this style, the sounds I produce for them and their dancing in response to it makes me feel so good! Like music mixing is something worthwhile and not something I do for money or because somebody asked me to.”

“Girls, is that how you truly feel?” Kyoka walked up to their daughters “Come here, I won’t yell and I’m not upset” she holds her arms out “I just want to hug you” the girls run into their mother’s embrace “I love you and accept you no matter what, no need for rebellion. If you want us to be more understanding, then I’ll listen and let you be yourself in a safe environment.”

“You’re on their side babe?” Denki was having mixed feelings about the situation “I’m sick and tired of being upstaged by you! Miss Perfect Spouse, Parent, Agent, Innovator and everything else!”

“Woah, me?” Ita questioned “Nobody asked you to compete with me! Honestly, it’s like you want me to kick your ass when you wanna challenge me.”

“I challenge you in a dance off!” Denki pointed at Ita “Winner gets to report this, loser has to buy the other a coffee.”

“I see you brought up our little wager from 1st year huh?” Ita smirked “I accept your challenge! Lili.”

“Yes mom?”

“Pull up my hype playlist and pick the 8th song” Ita said as she took off her light jacket and holsters “Hold these for me babe?”

“Gladly! Kick his ass darling” Tenya said as she plopped her things in his arms “kiss for good luck?”

“Yes please!” she eagerly got on her toes to kiss her spouse.

Denki turned to his wife “Will you kiss me good luck?”

“What happened to your tough guy act?” Kyoka sneered “I thought you were too cool for good luck kisses?”

“Aww man, I did say that” Denki recalled and turned around to see his opponent “no matter! You’re going down!”

“Bring it you dumb Pikachu!” Ita teased “Are the beats ready?”

“Locked and loaded mom!” Lili responded and grabbed the mic “Up on the floor is battle of the parents! We got my lovely mama in all white and this man’s in the black track pants, get up and get hype y’all! Pump the beats!”

Lili started the requested song and the two started their battle.

“Get it Shawty by Lloyd!?” Tenya gasped “Denki doesn’t stand a chance!”

Everyone watched as the two danced battle style. It was a close call up until the end of the bridge of the song where Ita flipped into a death drop, causing everyone to scream in shock on how on beat it was. The song ended and the two did their final pose.

Lili picked up the mic again “Alright, alright, alright! That was really close, not gonna lie fam.” she pointed at the two panting adults “Who do yall think won this one? Is it my mom? Or this man’s right here?”

Everyone cheered when Lili hovered her hand over her mom and fell silent when hovered over Denki.  “Oof that’s cold” Ita said as she wiped her forehead with her arm “it’s been a hot minute since I’ve strut my stuff like this! But I still got the moves hehe.”

“I hope you’re happy Denki” Kyoka sighed “Lets go home.”

“Do you still love me babe?”

“Yes but you’re the worst dancer” she giggled “I knew you wouldn’t win, but I love that determination of yours.”

“You were amazing darling!” Tenya said as he picked up his wife “I’m proud to call you my wife.”

He starts attacking her with kisses “Tenya please! You’re embarrassing me in front of the kids!”

“Hm? Can’t I love my wife publicly?!” He paused his kisses “Does it embarrass you Lili?”

“No but please get a room!” Lili snapped “It’s one thing to do this at the house, another to do this at our Ki Ki.”

“Oh right!” He puts his wife down, remembering why they’re there “We’ll be off now.”

“But please know that this has been brought to the attention of the school for the wrong reasons” Ita spoke up “But that doesn’t mean that has to be stopped! I will report this as non-lethal activity and fight for extracurriculars in hero schools.” She smiles “So that way, if passed and approved, you can do all this in a safe environment and at a more reasonable time.”

“You mean it? You’ll do that for us?” said one in the group.

“Of course! I’ve been an advocate for well-rounded education in hero schools for quite some time now” she explained “yeah you’re training to be heroes and fight crime, but you’re still kids! You should be able to do non-hero activities in school, make friends outside of your program and express yourself.”

The couple left and the group packed up early. Later, the petition to start extracurriculars in hero-schools started as promised. The group decided to hold off rooftop Ki Ki’s for a while until there was a say on the matter.

-Late May, in Homeroom-

“Okay class, settle down” sensei said to start class “I’m excited to announce that we’ll be training at the USJ in two weeks in duos.”

I gasped as turned to look at Hoshi and they had the same idea.

“BUT! I’ll be choosing the pairs” sensei broke the news, the class groaned “No complaints! I’m doing this so you can work with others in different situations. In the real world, your friends aren’t going to the same agency as you and new people cycle in and out all the time. This training will help with that.”

“Aww wack” I slumped in my seat “I work best with you!”

“I don’t do well without somebody on the offense” Hoshi replied “there’s only so much I can do.”

Sensei announced the pairs and I got stuck with Toei-kun. Now, Toei is the class dumbass. You look at him and wonder how the hell he got into UA! He got in through recommendation of his grandparents, UA alumni. He’s got a good quirk but his reaction times and strategy are the absolute worst. I guess it doesn’t matter, I’ll be the brain-cell of this team.

What can I say now other than it’s spring time? Iwa’s birthday passed, the sports festival passed and I didn’t do that much better than last time. But since then, I’ve had a support item done for me and a costume re-vamp. I got ribbon twirlers as my quick use lasso so I can stop using the ones in my hair. My costume got added sleeves and new obi with durable fabric. Plus, I’ve upgraded my mask for something in the same shape but that will actually protect my eyes. It’s so weird to know that I’ll be turning 18 soon, mom tells me that’s legal adult age in American culture! I planned a party but I didn’t account for hero school dorming when I planned it when I was 12. But that won’t stop me! This year it falls on a Friday, so I can celebrate day of at the dorms and a family celebration at home on the weekend. I told Hoshi all the details and he’s making sure everything will go according to plan.

-Mid June, Training in the gym-

“Come on dude!” I groan at my partner “I can’t save you every time! All you had to do is take two steps to the left to avoid that rock blast!”

“Sorry Iida-san, I really thought I was done for that time” praised Toei “We make a great team!”

“Actually Toei-kun, according to the class ranking” the class rep held up a clipboard “Your team is in last place, Iida-san is the main point earner in both combat and rescue. Which is weird because we aren’t doing rescuing practice, she’s earning points by rescuing you.”

I peer at the clipboard and saw our points and scoring “Oh man, sensei is giving us pity points at this point! And we still aren’t close to begin to surpass the next team!”

“Hey, points are points!” Toei commented, unaware how badly we’re doing in the ranking “We’ll be tops in no time! We’re two of the best!”

“Ho! Don’t lump yourself with her Toei” warned the class rep, pushing up his glasses “Sensei paired you and her together because you’re one of the bottom students, Iida-san had a higher standing than you in everything.”

“Oh” Toei quickly deflated “Man, I really thought I was doing well.”

“May a suggest you take up some tutoring with the class rep?!” I chimed in “They have the best grades in the class!”

The class rep blushed “I mean- um, I do have good grades” he covered his face with the clipboard “You don’t have to talk so highly of me Iida-san, it’s not fair.”

“Can you Hashima-kun?!” Toei perked up “Don’t be shy! I need help, won’t you please tutor me?”

The class rep nods, still beet red. That made me curious, does he still like me? It wasn’t that long ago when he confessed to me and we had that awkward date. But why does he still act like this?

-Later in the dorms-

There was a knock at my door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Hashima, may I come in?”

I quickly put on a shirt and kicked my dirty laundry under the bed “Okay, come in!” I say as I causally pretend I didn’t just do a boob check on myself.

“Were you busy?” he says as he walks in.

“Oh not at all! I just finished reading the book for literature” a total lie but I wasn’t going to admit I was groping myself in the mirror for like an hour “What brings you to my room? Hoshi is studying with his partner.”

“It’s alright, I came to give you this parcel that’s addressed to you” he hands me a flat packing box “it was in the mail bin and I guess it was overlooked.”

“For me? Thanks” I accepted the box and saw who sent it “Oh! It’s from grandpa Hakamada!” I rip open the box “Oh FUCK! It’s the silks I asked for training! I’ve been having such a difficult time getting my hands on real silk to test out” I gush “I wanna see if this is more effective than muslin since it’s stronger and looks prettier-” I catch myself geeking out “Oh um, sorry, I really get into fabrics and fashion heh.”

“Oh it’s quite alright” the class rep responded with a smile “It’s like me with hero facts and history. Say, can I ask you a question?”

“Uh sure?” I could tell that it had to do with our brief dating.

“Did you like me at all when we dated?” He sat at the foot of the bed “I was just remembering all the things I said and how I didn’t do what you wanted to do.”

“I wanted to see if I could” I sighed “to be honest, the moment you set that boba drink in front of me, I wanted to call it all off.”

“That would’ve devastated me but why did you stick it through?” He was shocked at my honesty.

“I wanted to seem like I was a likeable person” I sat on the bed “And if you confessed and admire me, then I must be, because I don’t think of myself like that. Like, what makes me so special? What’s something you see in me that I don’t? How do you feel around me that I don’t feel?”

“You didn’t have to prove all that, I would’ve understood if you wanted to leave at any point of that date” he looked at me with meekness “Lots of people think you’re likeable, I for one think you’re amazing! I wish I was as brave and bold as you are.”

“What?” I was confused.

“You just openly express yourself and not care about what others think! You stand up for others and win every time” he turned red and his voice got racked up in nerves “And- um, you’re really pretty. N-NOT THAT I WISH I WAS PRETTY! But, you’re also really nice. I saw when you started sewing that dress for the dance just to not go and give it to Hanagi-san. All the makings of a hero” he sighed “I’m jealous of Togata-kun, he sees you all the time and get’s treated by your generosity everyday. Bet he’s a better man than I am, lucky you.”

“We’re not-”

He puts his hand up to silence me “Say what you want about it, but you and Togata-kun are perfect for each other” he stands up to leave “For someone who doesn’t remember names very well, you sure picked up on his real fast.”

He leaves and I sit there, feeling very attacked. Oof, is it that obvious? I can’t know for sure until I hear it from the source.
