#i'm gonna schedule this so i might not be up when i goes up btw!

[wildflowercryptid]

please enjoy my analysis of these two's dynamic bc i can't stop thinking about them.

bonus w/ their actual in-depth feelings on their dramatic ass divorce :

i also feel like i should clarify what i mean by "florian's main goal." in mjverse, (aka my interpretations of the game's universe,) florian & juliana are siblings and essentially act as co-protagonists. while juliana is the more talented battler of the two and ends up serving as the main protagonist of the victory road & starfall street storylines because of that, florian wants to become a pokémon professor so he focuses on helping out arven in the path of legends storyline while filling out the pokédex. the only reason why he's a competent trainer is so that he doesn't get completely bodied by wild pokémon in the midst of doing field research. and yes, knowing that probably ends up making kieran's complex about his own skills as a trainer even worse.

Alright soooo I haven't decided on what I'm gonna call this AU yet—but for now, I'm gonna fall this 'The Natural Forces' AU until I come up with a better name./lh

This is the MLP AU based off Epic I was talking about btw

Part 1: Basic plot of the AU + Thunder Bringer (the main opposing threat here)

So basically—in this AU (havent decided when it takes place, but I imagine its after Trixie has redeemed herself) Celestia is one night in her palace, wondering through the halls and looking through ancient books. Where she stumbles across one in particular. However, as she's looking, she gets a sudden.. odd feeling. Like things have changed. She isn't sure what makes her feel that way, but then she notices that an ancient lyre she's kept in the room for years is now suddenly gone, even though it can't be taken considering it's under a literal protection spell. She knows something is very much off then, and has a suspicion of what might be happening—so after going around testing her magic on a bunch of different elements (the streams within the palace—which don't seem to obey and actually rise in level as if trying to force her to stop or even flood the palace, the winds—which don't listen to her whatsoever, etc etc). And after she's very certain of what's going on, she grabs a book, remarking that she needs to do something about this—like, now.

I imagine it cuts to Twilights friends and Spike watching Twilight perform a spell afterward—yet as she's casting a spell, the magic she's trying to use appears to.. kinda go a little more well than expected? Which is odd, seeing as she hasn't practiced the spell that much. When she remarks about this, her friends start to mention that something feels a little off about them too? Fluttershy explains that she's felt oddly more confident or better at flying than she usually is—or has just been faster, Applejack mentions she feels a lot stronger all of the sudden, and Rarity even says her magic has been working maybe a little too well—like responding to literal thoughts she had, and Spike says he hasnt had any mishaps with delivering letters through his fire breath all day. After they all ponder over what this could mean though, Twilight goes outside upon hearing the winds outside get stronger. And.. really weird stuff starts to occur there too. The clouds don't appear to be obeying the Pegasus anymore and are moving entirely on their own—with it randomly deciding to rain even though it wasn't scheduled to, Twilight swears she can almost hear LAUGHTER from nearby when the winds start to pick up, the animals seem to be suddenly more out and about than they usually are and seem strangely calm even though it's raining, etc etc. Twilight feels a bit freaked out even if nothing seems to be DIRECTLY going wrong, so she nearly sends a letter to Celestia, but Celestia already sends a letter to her—asking her to come to the palace at once. They aren't sure how they're gonna get there in the rain, and Twilight almost thinks of teleporting despite the large distance. But her magic responds to her thoughts like it did with Rarity, and teleports them all there without fail.

After teleporting to the palace as well, Twilight shows up to talk to a very clearly exhausted Celestia—who has apparently been up since last night. Along with Luna. After asking more about what's going on, both Celestia and Luna explain that there's been new 'forces' who have returned. Ones more powerful than they are, ones who are in charge of the world's balance now that they're back, and ones who have probably now officially taken over their reign with how powerful they are. Celestia says she isn't sure what's going to happen, and explains more thoroughly (after Twilight frantically asks what she means) that they are called the 'Ancients'. Forces who ruled over the world long before Celestia & Luna and any other alicorn did. All of higher power than any princess could be, and all of greater beings than any pony could be. To the point where they almost kind of ARENT ponies at all, or aren't any other creature whatsoever. They're their own forces and their own domains. Celestia explains that as far as she knows though, the forces briefly vanished one day without any explanation (according to Celestia's father), leaving the alicorns to rule. But now that they're back, the rule of Equestria is now threatened. And while the forces are powerful and very much capable of ruling, their way of seeing things is.. quiteeee different compared to the saccharine, friendship view of modern Equestria. Their way of seeing things was more honor-based, more realistic, and simply believing that you got what you deserved if you did something wrong or if you did something right. And while this view isn't inherently wrong, the God's tend to be a little less 'nice' about certain things and might wreak havoc should they not be pleased with something—AKA, there's always the threat of death if any of them actually get pissed off. Twilight asks what they can do, and.. well.. the thing is, Celestia doesn't know?? She just hopes that whatever they decide to do, they'll spare them and come to some sort of agreement. This makes the Mane 6 panic since they're not used to Celestia not actually knowing what to do. Celestia & Luna give them all the task of maybe trying to reach some sort of agreement with the forces or maybe trying to convince them to see things the way they do—and send them all off after an encounter with the force (who I will call Apollo until I come up with an actual name) who is in charge of the sunlight, music, art, healing, illness, lots of domains, etc etc. Apollo basically ends up calmly telling Celestia, very obviously not taking much of this seriously and being more laid-back than she is, that now that he's here, she doesn't need to really do much about the sun anymore. And he doesn't fully kick her out of moving it since what she does is useful for the pony folk, but he does basically tell her that he's in control of the sunlight now and where it goes and that there isn't much she can do about it, so they'll just have to control it together now, with him having most of the power. (Apollo is very chill and doesn't take much of anything seriously and doesn't mean to be a jerk here, but he comes off as one sometimes lmaoo—I'll make a separate post on him for this AU tho)

The basic plot though is that they all have to go convince the forces in some way or come to some sort of agreement with them, while coming across many troubles along the way (villains trying to cause trouble only to get their ass violently whooped by the Forces—like in a way that the Mane 6 wouldn't usually defeat them, some Forces not being that inclined to agree with them, some Forces even getting ANGRY at them, etc etc). And maybe even becoming a little traumatized in the process due to some events 😭

Now for Thunder Bringer though—who is actually the Queen of The Forces and is their personal ruler.

Thunder Bringer, as I mentioned, is the ruler of the Forces and acts as their leader. She is the Bringer of Justice—which means she will often step in anytime someone has done something wrong or did something so bad that she has to make them for it, Queen of The Skies, and is the Wielder of Lightning and Thunder (meaning she controls both of those elements now that she's back and no one else can control it now). Her body is constantly stringed/covered in Lightning bolts which flare up anytime she takes a step. Her pony form isn't even her actual form considering she doesn't have one—she just usually takes the form when speaking to ponies. Her ACTUAL form is literally the clouds and the sky itself. And she is quite frankly one you don't wanna fuck with because she's the most powerful. She is also the mother of most of the other Forces, and she has a wife (who is the Ruler of Marriage, Protector of Mares, Caretaker of Foals, Protector of Families, etc etc), who acts as a second mother to all of them./lh

Thunder Bringer is very emotionless, calm and collected as the Queen of The Forces—she's very intelligent, wise, and can be very intimidating when actually pissed. But full on terrifying whenever she's furious because Lightning begins to go crazy anytime she is furious about something. And her body flares like crazy with Lightning anytime she's full on furious—with her hair darkening like clouds do whenever they're filled with rain. She genuinely doesn't believe there's any other way to do things and punishes ponies or villains because she thinks she has to, and often punishes them in very cruel ways depending on what they did (she punishes Chrysalis at some point by literally making her choose to either let Thunder Bringer kill HER or kill the entirety of her changelings—or she just makes Chrysalis choose between letting her beat her up so badly that she isn't capable of being a queen anymore, or her tormenting her changelings for everything she's done to the ponies, etc etc). And she's been alive for so long that she hasn't really kept up with the morals of ponies. Sparing ponies is also only a Forces right in the eyes of the Forces, or at least it was back then, so one of the Forces may get a little pissed if the Mane 6 decide to spare someone—or Thunder Bringer may punish them for it. Thunder Bringer is also more soft or easily convinced around her wife. And Thunder Bringer is also just tired most of the time and is trying to do things the way she thinks they must be done.

Either way, she serves as the main antagonist for the Mane 6 since she's likely the hardest to convince about certain things—and also the most terrifying to convince since it's hard to know how she'll react. Celestia is also literally scared of her by the way so THATS how much of a threat she is 😭

That's it for Thunder Bringer for now, but I'll be making her sister next—who is the Ruler of The Sea, Leader of Storms, Bringer of Earthquakes and Droughts and Floods, and.. also literally the Queen of Ponies themself./lh

What would it be like if GA Griffith and NeoGriff suddenly swapped bodies

Well it'd be a kickass fanfic premise.

NGriff in the Golden Age would be interesting from NGriff's pov because of, let's be real here, all the feelings it would unlock that NGriff would try and eventually, inevitably fail to deny. I think he could play the part of human Griffith relatively well, especially if it's post-Promrose when Guts expects to view Griffith as distant and other. He and Casca might notice something's off, but they'd probably chalk it up to Griffith spending so much time around the nobility or something like that.

But yeah emotionally he'd be fucked lol, and it would be great. I can just imagine him bottling it up and playing the part, going through the motions to keep the past on the correct path until they swap back, but when the second duel comes around he fucks it up and maims Guts instead of losing to him.

Idk how that works with fate or whatever magic sent him into the past, but NGriff's stay there culminating in changing everything in one impulsive very slightly altered sword swing feels so right. Say once the timeline's been ruined they shift back bc that's how mysterious time travel works in fiction. Or yk, NGriff disappears because he just wrote himself out of existence. Or say NGriff knows why it happened and knows it'll only last X amount of time and the 2nd duel was one of the last things in the schedule before returning to the future. Point is, human Griffith returns with a new future laid out.

Human Griffith in NGriff's storyline would also be amazing because his angle is experiencing what it's like to have gained everything he ever wanted at the cost of Guts and the Hawks, and realizing he doesn't want it. But at the same time it's extra complicated bc NGriff did like, create a utopia. Human Griffith's gonna be hanging out in Falconia going 'damn I really followed through here.' Which makes his choice even worse, because he'd be trading a certain roaring success for Guts and much less, if any, success.

Though this could be mitigated a little if human Griffith is more disturbed by NGriff's means of yk, bringing dragons into the world. It could be a good eye-opening revelation of the cost of his dream, beyond his own personal relationships. I don't think he could write off the lives lost to fantasy creatures the way NGriff can.

He would obviously have to come face to face with Guts, see how much Guts hates him now, and be horrified.

And it's even better from Guts' perspective because he goes to confront and kill NGriff and finds the Griffith he's still in love with in his place, and that's just ideal romantic drama. Guts swinging his sword and altering the trajectory to miss him at the last second when he looks into Griffith's eyes and instantly fucking knows. I'd be remiss not to link this amazing fanart of that theoretical moment here btw.

That could also be a revelation for Griffith too - the realization that as much as Guts hates who he became, he loved and still loves him. Like, say Griffith has learned what happened in the Eclipse - Casca's kidnapped and hanging around, maybe he used his god powers to read her mind. (Also human Griff and post Eclipse sane amnesiac Casca would be its own wild can of worms, but I'm not gonna get into that bc that would take too much imagination.) Point is he knows why Guts wants to kill him, thinks Guts is absolutely 1000% justified, probably plans to let him, and so when Guts refrains and like, let's be real here, probably desperately kisses him instead, that's a major wake-up call about the nature of Guts' feelings.

If this is the same fic where they swap back after NGriff fucks up the second duel, it could be a perfect moment for human Griff to reappear in the past, in front of an injured, miserable Guts, and do some confessing. And it would be a perfect moment for NGriff to return, say something ambiguous, and... either kill Guts or let Guts kill him, depending on the fic's vibes and how NGriff's side of the story went. Maybe he can kill Guts with a certain sense of serenity knowing there's a parallel universe out there where they can be happy. Maybe the timeline's about to collapse and he lets Guts kill him because it doesn't matter anymore and it's a moment of spiritual fulfillment and joining. Maybe his emotions have been awoken enough that he wants to die. Maybe his emotions have been awoken enough that he wants to kill Guts for still affecting him. Yk, it's all good here.

Thanks for asking, this was a lot of fun to think about!

[tabootubbo]

i just made a huge thursday evidences compilation to explain stuff to a moot and it took ages so i'm gonna send it here too. also it's crazy how this is also a combination of two other asks, one that i sent here yesterday and the one i sent on the tbboism blog weeks ago that never got posted lol 😭 also yes, everything in this list was on a thursday which is kinda insane.

oct 10: the day tubbo would be away the entire night because he had to help a friend with something and then had plans so piso planned a date (but got ghosted) which could mean a double date, separate but at the same time. https://youtu.be/Ve8h8Unw170?si=1Njh7TkSE83UtRws

oct 17: the day harry dyed his hair and tubbo left while harry, freddie, coy, dani and loulou stayed in the office. we know this involved a dinner from thing he said on his stream about having dinner on a set hour and refusing jack's cookie because of it, and how coy made himself food and ate alone. https://youtu.be/dFDVA1KHbGw?si=X9wM52quIGYd1bCD

oct 24: the first day of the fredathon, freddie, dani, molly, loulou, coy, bill and lucas were on the office and jonnaay was out clubbing with qwobby. bill says "tubbo has plans" and tubbo decides to not spend coy's last day in the uk with him and goes out instead, then acts out of character not wanting to go back to the office to help fred with his subathon when he promised he would do so because he's already in bed (very early compared to his schedule from the rest of the month btw), and oopsie, what's that? coy can't sleep there? when he had said he would only some hours before? it's even more suspicious that nobody spilled and we still don't know what actually happened that day since i imagine tubbo would think it's funny to tell chat a story about how fred woke him up in the middle of the night because of his subathon and there's not many things he keeps that private. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2284258189?t=07h14m59s

oct 31: during krow's birthday fred and bill invited tubbo to their night out but he couldn't go because he had "plans". bill and freddie's conversation implies they interrupted tubbo on probably getting laid and considering we know he was on krow's party the person must be a friend or a friend of friends and can't be a random hookup. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2289478215?t=04h45m37s

nov 07: the day bill had a hang out on the office on his subathon after fireball friday and tubbo had left very early even before that. harry, zoil, empi, molly, max, loulou were in the office. from insta stories, aimsey was at home with her gf, krow and izzy were at a consert together, and lucas was busy with his dutch friends in london, so tubbo couldn't have been with any of those people. on this day bill also said that he couldn't use tubbo's shower because tubbo wasn't at home for 2 days and would only be free the next day (https://youtu.be/LwVt7T5W39o?t=14104&si=Eg7mIglAEPfAUjZX) which was very weird and we thought he might have understood things wrong until on the saturday tubbo confirmed that the shower was free since friday (https://www.twitch.tv/billzo/v/2296875346?sr=a&t=97047s)

nov 14: bill wasn't streaming so we don't really know anything

nov 21: there wasn't much suspicious things from what we saw, tubbo left the pub he was in with bill, loulou and jonnaay so he could stream working on the dnd tablets and he was live for 1 hour before he received a text and ended abruptly. some time later bill got back in the office with loulou and tubbo was there but he didn't show anything pass the hallway and his room so we don't know if maybe someone else was also there, then 30 minutes later at 28h 57m (day 9 of the subathon, there's no vod yet) bill says "what are they doing in the next room bro" while playing fortnite, but nothing else.

14th it was squidcraft. that was the day he took a phone call while live. bill posted a picture of him in bootlegger

i feel like thursday was a unique thing for a bit, the first three weeks there was something very weird about it. but it soon became just another day and he was going on suspicious missions any day of the week

[queen-scribbles]

I have more of their backstory! Unfortunately lot of sad stuff 😅

Their parents(Faren and Sereda) moved from Coruscant to Makeb when Ren was really little, two as most, equal parts for a work opportunity and to get away from all the crime CorSec was not having much luck curtailing.

Dad worked in a mine, Mom stayed home with Ren and worked on building up social connections--both just friends among the neighbors and good rapport with the governor's staff.

One of Dad's foremen happened to see her in action and was impressed by her memory/ability to multitask, so offered her a job in communications.

Staggered schedules and separate mines at first so one of them was always home with Ren, but when he was old enough to go to day school, the hours got longer and they were occasionally at the same mine. Then regularly at the same mine(so they could commute together). Both parents got time off when Nat was born; few months for Dad, ~year for Mom.

Even then, Mom was only working 3-4 days a week when the groundquake hit. On one of the days she was working.

The groundquake was one of the worst on record up until RotHC; hit six mesas, knocked out light bridges, severely damaged one mine and destroyed three more.

Including the one where their parents worked. Ren stayed with Nat for three days inside their wrecked house waiting to see if either of them came home.

They didn't

Three days was the point he had to go out and get food bc they were running low. Ren waited until Nat was sleeping and went to find something. The grocer was mostly destroyed/scavenged already, of course, but there were a few things left the extremely haggard owner was willing to sell him

(He got jumped and most of it stolen on the way home. Wound up with three juma fruits and a small thing of milk. Made sure Nat was full first.)

(suddenly very glad his mother made sure he know how to change a diaper)

it's two day later an aftershock finishes the destruction of their house and forces them to live on the street

Thanks to worry about aftershocks and other "seismic activity" it takes three months for aid shuttles to land. They have to do surveys, confirm the results, round up people willing to go somewhere potentially unstable, supplies to take with them.

When they arrive, the aid goes to larger towns first, takes a while to get to Ren and Nat's.

He tries to avoid rescue workers for a while; worried being found will result into going to an orphanage and being split up. (even knowing there's a chance that would be best for Nat since he can't really take care of her)

Cue being found by the Jedi, who picked up on Nat's Force Sensitivity since it's so strong and very gently offers to take her to the Jedi Order, which Ren agrees to, and also offers to find Ren a place, which he declines. He'd rather take care of himself.

When Ren eventually gets his own ship, he names it after his mom.

Less sad note: I think I'm gonna have both of them wind up in Tragen's Alliance. They're on the same server and I can easily make it make sense and keep their planned romances even.

Nat joins the Force Enclave, starts talking to Arcann one time he comes to visit with Sana-Rae, befriends him bc she would, bam there's the spark for them. (Tragen, btw, would strongly encourage this and might even meddle)

Ren and Beryl is even easier; they're hired on as some of Hylo's freelancers(Ren and Hylo frequently bicker about who is the Republic Greatest Outlaw Hero while Beryl sips caf and rolls her eyes).

With Ren not actually being on the base much, and mostly in the underworld hanger when he is, I can take as long as I want for it to click for them that they're siblings >:3

if you read all that have a cookie🍪🍪🍪

Renatis & Rhenata

Okay, I don't have all the details of the newest sibling set's backstory worked out, but what I do have:

Ren is is six years older than Nat, and he was v excited about being a big brother

Their parents died when Nat was about 18 months old, and there was no family or friends around to take them in, so the kids wound up on the street

Ren tried so hard to take care of Nat so they could stay together and he wouldn't lose what was left of his family, dodged going to an orphanage bc he was afraid they would be separated, but he was seven.

They ran into/were found by a Jedi after about 6 months(so Ren's 8 and Nat's 2), who could tell Nat was Force-Sensitive. After some minor hesitation bc this is his baby sister and he's been trying so hard to stay together, Ren let the Jedi take her. It's better for Nat; he knows he can't take proper care of her like the Jedi will, she'll get shelter/food/training that he's struggling to find for them.

So Nat goes to be trained by the Jedi, turns out to be extremely gifted with the Force, happy sweet.... and there's this one lullaby she hums sometimes that she can't remember for the life of her where she first heard it.

Ren keeps living on the streets--much easier to do only looking out for him and not a baby(that's what he tells himself but he still misses her). He gets v good at charming his way into jobs/free food/a night's shelter in someone's storage room(or just sneaking in and making sure he's gone before he'd get caught).

Finally talks his way onto the crew of a smuggling ship when he's 12. H's persuasive, sneaky, dexterous, fits in small spaces... who wouldn't want someone like him on their crew? Thus begins his smuggling career.

The charm hangs on--and it doesn't hurt he turns out to be a looker--as he gets older, and almost unintentionally turns him into a bit of a ladies' man.

However he learned the-hard-way-adjacent you DO NOT flirt with people who will be stuck on the same ship with you long term(first mate and medic on his second smuggling crew had a romantic falling out and it got real ugly real fast).

[taylortruther]

this is so random but i just found your blog and i needed someone who wasn’t a gaylor/kaylor to bounce of off (because i am one, but hesitantly) what do you think about kaylor maybe being like a really intense friendship? that maybe blurred the lines between romantic/sexual/platonic? because idk i feel like a lot of “evidence” that gaylors/kaylors post makes me kind of roll my eyes, but i feel like a lot of it also makes sense. i feel like a lot of wlw figure out they’re gay or explore their sexuality for the first time through some intense “platonic” relationships that kind of blur the lines between friendship and something more. but i don’t think the timeline adds up for a full blown relationship, considering karlie/josh and taylor/joe. but also celebrities date sooo differently then us “normal” people, so i feel like maybe when both relationships weren’t as serious or strictly monogamous (obviously just speculation that they weren’t monogamous, but ik sometimes ppl are on/off depending on distance and work schedules and filming and tours) and that maybe something could’ve happened there. not a full blown secret relationship and engagement (those theories… scare me) but just… something? i also don’t really believe in any of the other theorized relationships besides swiftgron (and some of the one-off can-be-read-as-gay things taylor has done, or that have been said about her) (like liking lesbian p0/rn, wearing a bi pride bracelet, saying gay pride makes me, me, people that know her calling her king, the fact that she actively consumes so much wlw media, etc) so like. speculative gaylor that has fun with the theories but also wouldn’t be surprised if i was just projecting lmao. sorry this is literally a wall of text.

(i have a lot of new followers so disclaimer: i'm not a gaylor or a kaylor! everybody calm down!!)

TL;DR: i think kaylor or gaylor is just a rorschach test at this point. you'll see what you want to see. personally, i think they had a very close friendship, and they were significant figures in each other's life--at the same level of family or romantic partner, and they had a very painful (perhaps prolonged) friend breakup that hurt taylor really deeply.

independently of karlie, i think taylor might have questioned or come to new realizations about her sexuality, because... she's a normal human and goes through periods of change and self-realization just like we all do.

but i don't think the speculation you listed is compelling, with context. like, being called king is very common for high-powered women. florence welch has a whole song about it! wearing all the bracelets fans gave her, including a bi pride one, was a very beautiful and kind gesture! she was talking about mv concepts! idk idk sometimes it feels like gaylors think that if taylor is straight she should act like a bigot (the bracelet is the perfect example of that imo) lmao

so could she be bi? sure!! i don't need to prove it though, you know? i don't think i could even if i wanted to.

btw do i think that wonderland being about dianna is compelling? i do. but i am definitely not gonna try and convince anyone because it doesn't matter lmao

btw btw never apologize for sending walls of text! you're talking to the person who has to type paragraphs or else she'll die. like tinkerbell.

[princess-fuckrosa]

hihihi ~ i came back here because i saw your promp list and i was like "ok, i need this". btw i'm the one who requested the sassy student with 1a class, how are u? skskskd so, how would bakugo react after saying "i love you, but can i go back to sleep now?" being really sleepy. he didn't mean to say it, but this girl was like simping over him saying how cool he is bc she thinks he was asleep (she does this every night and he's awake most of them but pretends not to be), she stops after like some minutes and he says that phrase up there and be like "..." after that while looking at the girl bc she is still awake,,, lol i'm thinking this would be a really funny situation bc he probably would be embarrased and this girl gonna be teasing him the hell out of him, "so you love me, huh?"... hope you can do it and that you're having a great day! btw happy new year!!! <3

Hiii anon! Hahaha, that's hella cute indeed! Thank you for requesting, it was fun! Happy new year to you too honey! 💝

Oh btw, can I call you Sassy Anon? I thought it would be easier :D But only if you are okay with it!!

Prompt 12: "I love you, but can I go back to sleep now?"

Full prompt list here: Mini Prompt List

Okay, so at this point, the praise rain is just a ritual for you, and Bakugo too, but he would never admit that

Let alone that he even likes the situation. But oh, he does

So this night was just like the others. He was the first to get into bed as usual. Most of the time Bakugo likes to keep his sleep schedule, and he can be very grumpy if it's not happening for some reason.

You think you know him enough to tell when he is asleep but girl, this man is full of surprises

You crawl into bed next to him, and he doesn't really react to that, so you just more confident about the fact that he still seems asleep. You were never shy about complimenting him, but mostly it's just some nice and encouraging words here and there, nothing too much. His ego is enormous without that too, and you don't need to fan the flames even more.

But you feel the urge to tell him every little thing that you love about him. So you do it anyway.

'I can't believe how cool you are.'

'You don't show it to anyone but you are a really great friend.'

'And damn, that ass is a treasure.'

'And let me tell you, I know that you gonna be just as awesome as All Might.'

'Today you wore that baggy hoodie and it looked so good on you'

And a list goes on.

You were just lying there beside him, and after a while you paused for some long seconds because you just got a little emotional about the fact that the demigod snoring next to you is your boyfriend.

Well, to be honest, he didn't snore, but...

'I love you, but can I go back to sleep now?'

...you didn't expect him to be awake either.

He had this cute tone to his voice, like you knew exactly that he was smiling, but then there was this long pause.

He just realized that your breathing was too quiet, so you either died in your sleep or--

He got up to his elbow as he turned to face you, and there were you, looking at him with raised eyebrows and a smug smile on your face.

'Oh, so you love me, huh?'

Thank god that it was dark enough that you only saw each other's face briefly because damn, he turned into a lobster. But, just to make sure, he turned his back to you again.

'Shut the fuck up.'

'Hah, you already said it out loud, you don't have to be shy Katsuki~'

'I AM NOT'

'Oh you are.'

And oh, he does love you, but he's a proud alley cat, he won't give in that easily.

12/12/21 — behind on my study schedule already! 🤡🤡🤡

I guess I underestimated how busy I get on most weekends... even though I just spent the weekend cooking/eating/watching TV with my grandma. Lol. We watched our fav crazy doctor, House, and a hodgepodge of westerns. Gonna finish up the night by delivering a long-winded, impromptu sermon finishing another module or two, planning next week, and doing my Bible study.

I'll probably sit and reestimate things and actually use all of March for this study sprint, instead of stuffing things in just Dec/Jan/Feb.

I'm excited that I'm actually willing to be flexible about this instead of getting frustrated right off of the bat. Telling myself that I'll be okay with it taking 2x, 3x as long definitely worked in my favor.

In other news, I decided to actually put my priorities in order, and let my time spent/scheduling reflect that— 1. God/Discipleship, 2. Mental/Physical/Environmental Health, 3. Relationships, 4. Career/Study, 5. Hobbies.

God/Discipleship — Aside from working through Matthew with my friends/BSF (which runs until the start of Q2 next year, when a new study is announced/starts), I have a short Bible study on the Lord's Prayer planned for the rest of this year, and next year, I'm reading the whole Bible and working through The Bible Study (which is so pretty, btw!). Me and my friends are also in talks to start a faith-based podcast, so we'll see! I also decided to take it very easy on Sunday in observance of the Sabbath (which is for man, which leads me to my next priority ;-))

Health — Mental, physical, and environmental health. I've restarted therapy, and since it's costing me so much money, I'm really going to try to give it my all and get my money's worth, yano. I'm waiting for some kind of diagnosis (ADHD, Depression, GA... who knows), in which case I'll be glad to have an answer for why I am the way I am. Lol. Physically, I'm going back to meal prepping and eating whole foods on a regular basis, mixed with a little bit of IF, nothing too crazy— except for the Daniel fast that I think I'm going to participate in next January. We'll see. I've never been plant-based for that long. Me and my friend also agreed to do some sort of exercise regimen for 60 days (I negotiated a restful Sunday, which is such a reprieve, lol), and I'm excited to see where that goes! Environmentally, I'm going to make sure that I keep up with housework, because in all honesty, if my house is a wreck, I am too.

Relationships — I'm doing pretty decently in this category lately, but I want to do better! I want to spend time with family and friends way more and make a commitment to take things to the next level with friends that I actually want to do life with, as they say. More transparency and vulnerability, keeping my word, going first and making real efforts to spend time, etc.

Career/Studies — Low on the list, huh? Well, I do want to spend 2-3 hours studying/day, but not at the cost of all the other things! I do want to pivot slightly in my career, but aside from that, I'm doing okay in my job. And I'm not in a rush to make anything happen for the first couple of quarters of the year, so if I can only put in an hour or two, I'm going to be completely satisfied with that!

Hobbies — I'm focusing on gaming, reading, and making music. Reading and music are things that I put off most often! Gaming is hit or miss as far as how satisfying it can be, so I think I'm going to save it for Sundays only. Reading is something that I can chip away on when I have time in the day; 15 minutes here, 20 minutes there, which is great! Music is extremely high effort and high resistance... From learning theory to practicing piano, to re-recording vocals on a short deadline... It's stressful, honestly. I've decided to take a step back from music for at least Q1. No more music collabs. I might go back to doing the bare minimum of playing the piano and working through Alfred's Book 1 for 30 mins/day. I might play around in a DAW or work with a few loops, but I won't be doing any serious production, no collaboration at all, period. Trying to be a vocalist gives me the most stress, so I'll settle for being a beginner instrumentalist most of the time, a novice producer some of the time, and a collaborating vocalist none of the time. Praise be! Lol.

[shiro-0197]

Oh my gosh Shirooooo <3 bae hiiii :D that's so lucky, I hope you guys see each other :] also, how's prep going?? How does it feel to be back in school? Hope everything's well. I'm sure you're acing all your questions (as usual ;)

ooh, I overslept today morning. It was NOT pretty. I woke up because I had a school meeting and my teacher was like "Ariana switch your camera on" and (grr I was forced to) I looked so sleepy 😭 because I had literally just woke up. Talk about embarassing smh. but I have holidays till Monday! in commemoration with my second favourite holiday; Chinese New Year (it's the year of the ox ˃ᴗ˂)

aww :(( at least pretend to sleep, if I ever attempt convincing you then :] I'll hug you (and I have a firm grip when I'm half asleep 😪) flashcards?? I see!! Do you use Quizlet? I'm sure you can do it, you're capable of that (and so much more!!) I love you too, bae.

lmao it was. They've asked us to submit pictures of ourselves for this year's magazine. So thankfully, no sorting.

nah, it was a good one. You're so cute shjxjsks. Rip the pictures, but there's space for more :D oh my gosh I understand that!! Like 😭😭 do I have time for another fandom?? No. Does my brain listen?? Also no (my brain had apparently decided we're gonna be simping over Darren Criss for the next 10 business days. Don't ask me why, but I've watched every single one of the movies/series he's starred in.)

Oh btw!! I tried creating an oc (this is my first time don't judge 🥺🥺) anyways, she's so cool, I WANT TO BE HER. Or marry her, idk whichever works.

just my dad 😌 my mom and the rest of my family have a very long way to go, but i try educating them whenever I can. Thanks for saying that, and I really hope the world changes in the future. There's literally no place for prejudice anymore :( but despite all that, the most important part is that our families love us, and although there are some things we wish could change over time, I'm so glad for that precious fact.

haha I see :'D that's right, tho I'm so happy you've settled into a schedule!! A bummer, but there'll be those teatimes, right?

that shirt. It's so cute I might cry. The frog 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. f o r g

Aaaa yep yep. I miss you so much too. But I'm really thankful no matter how busy our lives get, we always manage to find a way to reply every once in a while. It really makes me realize that we're meant to be friends, yk? like not even the lack of time or the (unfortunate) abundance of distance can stop us. I find that special. And by God that just made me realize how much I truly love you. Which is; A LOT.

Hello!!!! Happy late valentine's day!!

Look at this thing I made, tbh my first time making a valentine card and it was so funny. This ones for you<3

It's going well!! We had a cool party yesterday, not for Vs day (we done celebrate that here) but for Abi's day! That's basically our mentors' celebration. Our grade threw a concert for them with games and performances, and I was leading the whole show? Like, I introduced the performances and games and etc. It was nerve wrecking but I survived, and they liked it! We had huge fun. Glad I didnt have to dance. Also, we tried making that frog cake (have you seen it?) And I didnt take a pic (I asked my friend but he still hasnt so uhm) but as good as it tasted, the frog looked more like a green blob. But he (abi) liked it anyway

Ouchhh😭😭 I know, I remember one time when I overslept and literally had one minute to set everything up so I delayed hygiene and breakfast to later. When I was eventually forced to turn on my camera I looked like this

Also that's so cool I hope your holidays were good!! Happy Chinese new year!!

Nahh I use some random flashcards app because quizlet was too heavy for my poor phone to handle, but now I fixed it so I think I should try that one. Thank you for the idea!!

OMG SHE'S SO WONDERFUL I LOVE HER SO MUCH I ADORE HER HAIR AND !!! AND !!!!!! Dont worry love she's great !!! 🥺🥺

Yeah, that's true. Too bad for my family that I dont love them😘 okay I'm so sorry for ruining the vibe, you're absolutely right !! I'm really glad too.

Well, sometimes, yeah! But usually the mentors are really busy, and it gets kinda lonely since I'm alone from my class. Well, there is one guy, but he goes home after 5, so yeah hes not here for a while

Ohh I'm always so surprised with the way you speak. I really find myself struggling with the answer when you say something as good as that because tbh all I can say is "🥺🥺🥺 yeah" but yes!!! It makes me really happy. I'm very glad to be your friend!! I love you so much, Ari ♡♡♡ I hope you're having a great day

Also, have a funnie

This is literally me with all my characters

[lowkeysebastianstan]

hey there. I totally get your frustration with endgame and the ending. I wasn't happy and I'm not happy how half the fandom tells me/us how we have to look at it. how we have to accept it. how the actors are happy with it and so should we. how the writers/producers - okay, I'm gonna leave them out of this seeing neither of them have any idea what they have done in the first place. after all they disagree on everything in every interview since the release. and isn't that funny? (1/?)

how even they are not on one side with the movie? what I despise most right now when it comes to this movie and this fandom is how we are treated. how we should tag our “hate” - which I think is funny since I didn’t hate the movie entirely. I hated pieces of it, like I did with past movies. I never liked doctor strange and even back then people were allowed to mention how casting cumberbatch for the part wasn’t the smartest idea they had. (2/?)

people want us to be happy with an ending that doesn’t make sense to us and they appreciate and are “allowed” to shove down our throats with their happy posts about a perfect ending. how is taking tony’s life after he finally married pepper and got a daughter is perfect? how is sending steve back to peggy after they did everything in their power to convince us he moved on from his past life…how is that perfect? (3/?)

you can probably tell I’m bitter. I really am. there’s not a day that goes by I’m not frustrated with what we got after ten years and 22 movies. however, I thought to myself what would it give me to cling on to this on my blog. would it change anything? I do know I’m not alone. I see so many people agreeing with this anger and it gives me some sort of peace. at the end of the day, though, it’s also important to see what it gives to you. (4/?)

talking to one of my closest friends about it and voicing my frustration with the end helps me more than keep posting about it. because in the end it won’t change a thing. the longer I surround myself with the frustration and anger and everything that comes with this not being what I had hoped for the more it pushes me from the fandom. of course everyone do as they please and I get people who want to get it out of their system. (5/?)

but maybe sitting down and look at what the constant repeating will give you in the end, realizing where it might end, could help finding some kind of peace for you. I’d hope for you to enjoy the parts of the fandom that still apply to you. I really like your blog and you as a person and I’d hate to see one of my fave people on this site to leave (I lost count, but this is the last)

whew! hi right back, that was quite something. 

i feel ive answered this ask before, was that also you?

i mean, yeah. i know im not alone, i do. i see some of it on my dash, but not a lot, since ive had to block every marvel related tag just to keep from indulging in some light murder (just gentle ones, not to worry), and i really cannot fathom why ppl on the other side of the isle can’t do the same? or if you’re getting tired of the negativity? blacklist. or unfollow, block even. 

as ive said a few times lately, ive been here 6 years. and this is the first time ive aired my frustration in any noticeable way. sure there’s been a few occasions where i got the salt shaker out, but that was in relation to much more limited subjects, and it was a post or two at the most. 

ive been frustrated with previous movies too, but ive kept my trap shut, ive just gone on, kept my queue stocked, giffed the rare set and hid behind pretty solid content, no drama, not personality, no engagement. 

and it’s not too bad, to just be anonymous, to look at the pretty, spread the pretty, do the occasional tag rant, and let that be it. 

but.

when i came back after a long hiatus last autumn i started writing again. i posted a psa where i apologised for the fact that i would reblog my writing on this blog, i informed what tags i was gonna use, and for the first time i actually checked my follower count before and after. i lost 20 followers the first day. for posting writing. my writing. that was tagged to a ridiculous degree. and i saw a fair few more disappear before the exodus, and idk. i made me realise a thing or two.

one, people like my blog and the content i post

two, they’re only here for that content

three, to have a strictly themed blog will limit you horribly

four, my followers in general don’t give a shit about me, only about the content i post, which fair enough

five, i care about that, even if i don’t care about the follower count as such, i do care that the ones i have actually like me

six, which is completely absurd bc none of them knows me at all, i never show myself

but that was then. this is now. and the last weeks has made me realise the most important thing of all, i dont care any more. why the fuck should i? when my showing any kind of negativity about something that i did care a whole lot about but i no longer have?

endgame might have killed all my enthusiasm for the mcu, and it fucking hurts. it’s been a staple in my life for years, ive invested my time, my creativity, my love and my goddamn money, and ive got jack shit to show for it. i have a blog that i used to love, but is becoming alien to me, and that hurts too. ive invested a lot in this blog too, after i deleted a few of my other blogs a couple of years back, this is by far my biggest one. and im torn tbh. 

do i want to leave it? no, i don’t. can i go back? honestly? i doubt it. if my love for the mcu is gone, well so is bucky. and lets be real, a sebastian stan blog with no bucky? i cannot really see it, can you?

but hey. ill make you a deal, all of you. ill ease up on the memes, i won’t stop bc i have a few scheduled, you guys blacklist or unfollow if you dont want to see them, and ill see about sprinkling in some sebastian content if i can find any i deem worth it. 

also i don’t have any close irl friends to air my frustrations with, everyone here loved this crap, and that’s not really the discourse im looking for. but im happy for you, it sounds nice :)

hope you’re having a great day! 

eta: i won’t leave btw. not unless the porn hub thing comes into fruition. just so you know, and if anyone cares. just sayin. 

eta2: also? the fact that i, or we, are complaining and being pissed at the movie, but the opposition are attacking us for doing that? instead of, again, fucking blacklist and leave us the fuck alone? yeah, doesn’t help with the bitter. if y’all are so threatened by our arguments, maybe you should reevaluate your own, seems you’re trying a bit too hard there. i don’t want to take enjoyment from anyone, i envy you too much for that, but ffs, just leave me the fuck alone to deal with it. (that’s not @ you, that’s to them)

eta3: and thank you for saying im someone you like. but see? ive been trolling you all, im terrible. and i expect you don’t like me as much now anyways. but thank you, it was nice to hear nevertheless.

Buster & Rio

Shame. I'd have reckoned on you having more stamina Rio: Yeah, you wanna pay for my therapy?

Buster: Sounds like more fun if I can be honest at least once Rio: You've already had your turn Rio: remember Rio: ain't my fault you went with the lowest hanging fruit Buster: All I remember is lying through my teeth since I got here Buster: How families do Rio: You can try again if you reckon you can do better Buster: I can always do better Rio: Go on then Buster: I don't reckon kissing you would go down too well with the rest of the fam Buster: But if you wanna meet me outside, say when Rio: Umm we were talking about being honest Buster: What do you want me to be honest about?

Hey hey hey, so I've seen your lack of Bokutoo art (or haikyuu art in general) and at first I was going to comment on it, but then I saw your art theft post and I hope that won't have too much influence on your haikyuu art? Of corse I'm gonna let you post whatever you'd like to post, I just miss it a lot y'know :0

Well. Okay, I’ve talked about this a lot but I understand people don’t just read all my answers and it’s totally my fault for procrastinating on that faq page so let me just go through this again in an as clear way as possible?

I haven’t stopped drawing for hq! As a matter of fact in the last week alone I have posted one, two and three things for that fandom for a total of five portraits and a three panels comic

That said I understand with the rhythm I update this blog you might think “well, that isn’t much at all, is it?”, which, again, is my fault because - even though when compared to most art blogs’ update schedules eight drawing in one week is more than enough - I’m the one who set the rhythm here

The “problem” with hq is that all my favorite characters are currently absent from the manga and there’s no anime airing, while at the same time my other main fandom (bnha) has both an interesting arc going on in the manga AND an anime season airing right now - I hope you’ll understand if my interest at the moment is mostly focused there, that’s a continuous stream of inspiration I have coming my way

To add to that some parts of the Haikyuu!! fandom are being unrespectful of what I post (this includes reposting, treating my stuff as if it were templates for their own art instead of ship/character specific content, honestly unrespectful comments and tags under a lot of my main ships posts and so on) which, you’ll excuse me, but dampens the joy I get from posting art a lot

Moreover, the creative side of the hq fandom is being, at least for what concerns the zones I frequent, pretty damn quiet lately, so I can’t say I get much inspiration from there either

I haven’t stopped and I can’t see in my foreseeable future myself stopping posting stuff for haikyuu!!, and all things considered I don’t think I’m posting too little for it either? Art and inspiration aren’t things I want to force, if I started I would stop finding drawing enjoyable really damn fast and I can’t let that happen - please be understanding, I first and foremost draw for myself, I can’t help it if sometimes I get stuck on one fandom or another

Anon said: Have you seen the latest chapter of haikyuu? I like how they are showing more Daishou. It’s fun to see his reactions and thoughts about nationals! And I will love to see him in your art style.

Anon, my friend!!! I have drawn Daishou in the past! As a matter of fact the last one was just after he appeared again in chapter 251! I love that snake boy a lot, seeing him there made me really really happy haha

SHE WAS AMAZING WASN’T SHE OH MY G O D !!!

Anon said:Kirishima and/or Bakugou being good at singing. And then gay happens.

BOI ANON I have drawn these boys singing to each other a whole lot already (like here or here) at this point I would assume you guys were fed up with it hahaha (… can’t say I won’t ever have them sing to each other again, though)

Anon said:DADZAWA IS SO REAL! But I’m actually so amused because Izuku is basically Ron Swanson with his “I can do what I want” permit except Aizawa wrote and signed the permit

No no anon it’s even better because Aizawa wasn’t like “you can do what you want” he was like “you can do only what I tell you you can do and it just so happens that I’m deciding that you can do exactly what you want to do but it’s still my decison” it was amazing lmao I love Aizawa so much poor man

Anon said:friendo, whats your opinion on the traitor kaminari theory? it breaks my heart but it has a good backbone to it?? like in the new chapter, theres a character that looks like kaminari’s dad/uncle/older family member and im worried for my electric baby

I still don’t think Kaminari is the traitor - as a matter of fact, I still don’t think the traitor is any of the kids. If that’s how it’ll turn out to be I’ll be sad about it, for sure, but right now I really, really don’t believe it. It’s true that the Kaminari-is-the-traitor theory is very cleverly worded and super convincing, but a lot of the things in it are really stretched out as far as I’m concerned

ie, taking the weird faces Horikoshi makes him make in the sketches and using them as proof that he’s got a double face? Too far out for me; his original design being that of a villain? Deku’s original design was villain-ish too, no one is calling him a traitor; taking the expression he made when Aizawa told him he could go to the camp and making it sound like he didn’t want to go? Might be believable as long as you don’t take into account the fact that he had just had a conversation with Midoriya in which he told him it was impossible Aizawa would let them go and that Midoriya was just being too optimistic, the “what the actual fuck is this” expression makes a lot more sense in that context; the fact that he makes clever quotes and uses a complex vocabulary used to say that he’s pretending to be stupid is unfair towards the very real possibility of him just not liking studying or thinking things through analytically but otherwise enjoying reading and being fairly intelligent in his own way?? - in the theory it’s also mentioned that it’s weird how during USJ he was worried about an electricity villain overcharging him as if that’s not perfectly normal, having an electricity quirk obviously doesn’t stop him from suffering overcharges, and later during the end of term exam they say it’s “weird” he refused to go all out with his qurik from the start, again, as if that weren’t a perfectly sensible decision in that context (you have to keep in mind that Kaminari is also studying to become an hero, him going “wait a second, maybe keeping on going stupid and putting myself out of commission every time I fight isn’t the right choice” is perfectly in line with him growing up and learning)

Now I don’t have the post open in front of me and it’s been a while since I’ve read it, but most of the theory as far as I get it is based on the idea that Kaminari can’t be lazy and an airhead and might talk without thinking now and again (the Stain comment), but at the same time be clever in his own ways, which just isn’t convincing for me. It’s taking this character’s three dimensionality and making it a plot-hole, why would you want to do that

(on a similar note, the Kirishima-is-the-traitor theory doesn’t convince me for the same kind of reason, it’s all based on the idea that he can’t just genuinely like Bakugou for who he is without having second reasons for it, which is just unfair and cuts too much off the personality of a really good, well written character)

As far as the new villain guy goes, I understand why most of the fandom might be weary and linking him to Kaminari, but we don’t know his color scheme nor his quirk and the pattern on his hair isn’t even a lightning bolt - Horikoshi has had to make up unique designs for a whole damn lot of characters, the fact that one random guy might have something similar to Kaminari isn’t really enough to make him his dad (again, it might turn out to be true, but in my opinion it’s still too early to make theories about it). Also, this guy is from the Eight Precepts. Weren’t you all trying to link Kaminari to the League of Villains? Isn’t the traitor supposedly tied with the League? How many people is this boy working for even

By the way, during the USJ attack the villains had informations they couldn’t have gotten from any of the kids aside from Midoriya (the “they told me All Might was getting weaker” comment) and tbh that’s enough for me to not believe any of the student is behind the informations leak, but all of this is just my opinion

Anon said:Your thoughts on mob psycho 100??

LOVE IT  one of the best anime I’ve watched lately, without any doubts

Anon said: Being a bokuroo artist? More like drawing art but every time someone says brOTP, you get steadily more annoyed, lol - love your art, btw; you have a really cute and fluffy style

Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh… sadly you kind of grow used to it but it is incredibly annoying and one of the reasons why I’ve been drawing it less, t b h

Anon said:I love the concept of the bakubowl because unlike with other characters where everyone’s like “omf they’re so cute!!” the bakubowl is just “why is he like this. why do we ALL like him for this ffs”

WELP I don’t ship Bakugou with everyone so I can’t say I’m fond of the idea as a whole, and the ships I do ship Bakugou in are with the people that actually do like him for whatever reason (lmao), but I can understand why you’d find it a fresh take on the concept!
