a silly oikage confession scene | 600 words | originally posted here

-

Tobio really isn’t sure how it got to this point. How had he gone from hanging out with Hinata post-match to standing in front of Oikawa Tooru with a letter, not unlike the people who used to stop him in the hallways of Karasuno?

Let’s backtrack.

“This is stupid,” Tobio tells Hinata for the nth time. 

His friend shrugs. “Not any more stupid than what you two have been doing the past ten years or so,” Hinata replies as he finishes scribbling something down. 

“Your handwriting sucks.” Tobio squints at the note which reads “Oikawa-san, do you like me? Check one” followed by two poorly-drawn squares with a yes or no beside them. 

“I don’t wanna hear that from you,” Hinata snorts. “Besides, you were too chicken to write it yourself.” He folds the paper and shoves it into Tobio’s hands. “There, now all you have to do is give it to him.”

Tobio stares at the note. “This is stupid,” he says again and this time, Hinata is less patient. 

“Maybe if you two would stop acting like kids, we wouldn’t have to resort to this, dumbass.”

“Who’re you calling a dumbass, dumbass?!”

Hinata just holds up his phone to show Tobio his lock screen: a photo of Hinata with his arms around Kozume. “At least I can admit when I like someone.” 

“I don’t—”

Hinata throws his hands in the air. “Fine. You don’t like Oikawa-san. Just like he says he doesn’t like you. Sure. Well, I’m not going to be the middleman for you two anymore, so good luck.” Plucking the note from Tobio’s hands, Hinata tosses it back onto the table. “Chicken,” he says again before leaving.

Tobio is not a chicken, which is why he’s here now. With the letter. In front of an annoyed-looking Oikawa who, despite being technically shorter, is staring him down. 

Tobio is not a first year at Kitagawa Daiichi anymore and Oikawa is no longer quite as intimidating. Tobio is a full-grown adult who is one of the most popular professional volleyball players in Japan, who is known for being able to keep his cool under pressure, and that is why he mutters, “Here,”, forces the paper into Oikawa’s hands, and then takes off running. 

“What the hell is this? Tobio!” he can hear Oikawa yell after him. 

Tobio sprints faster.

Unfortunately, Oikawa is also a professional volleyball player and Tobio is kind of annoyed by how quickly he catches up. He doesn’t have to tackle Tobio, though, jeez, they’d never hear the end of it from Iwaizumi if either of them got hurt. 

They tumble to the ground and Oikawa pins Tobio down. 

“Explain.”

“Hinata made me do it!” Tobio exclaims, staring up at Oikawa. He can’t read the older man’s expression, but the way his eyes are zeroed in on Tobio makes him feel dizzy. Or maybe he hit his head upon impact.

“So it’s a prank?” 

“No!”

“So this is real?”

“I guess? I thought it was a stupid idea but Hinata said he was tired of us being childish and that if we were going to act like kids then we might as well—”

Tobio’s rambling is cut short because his mouth is suddenly covered. By Oikawa’s mouth. Oh. 

“Does that answer your silly question?” Oikawa breathes, moving back, nose barely brushing Tobio’s. “Of course, it was a pretty awful way to ask someone out, you really should’ve—”

This time, it’s Oikawa who’s cut off as Tobio pulls him back in for another kiss. And Tobio’s certain the dizziness is not just because he hit his head.

Sorry, most likely my memory being poor, but I thought Malleus' mom (don't know how to spell her name and too lazy to check how to spell it) was already an adult when Lilia ""proposed""?? Like I was always under the assumption that it was like a one-sided child crush on somebody completely out of your league you tend to have as a kid 💀

I don't think they say how old she was? although it's entirely possible I just misunderstood; my Japanese is...shaky. :') the actual line is "幼い頃に私に求婚したのは偽りか?", which I read as "isn't it true that you proposed to me as a kid?", and took as her being older than him, but not necessarily an adult (like, I was thinking of Lilia as being not quite a preteen and Mel being preteen/young teen). although I don't know if there's a connotation or something I'm missing that implies a bigger age gap, if that makes sense!

(and of course, I might also just be forgetting some other line -- if someone else knows, then please correct me! I need to know which headcanons need adjusting 👀)

BUT YEAH in a canon-y sense, Malleus is 178 and around the third-years developmentally. which makes me think that even though dragons have a way longer lifespan, they go through childhood at about the same rate as most fae (or at least the kind that Lilia is) and just kinda...slow waaaaay down once they hit adulthood. so it makes sense in my brain that he and Meleanor could've basically grown up together!

...it makes it angstier that way, anyway. :)

Direct reference to this post. The only person either of them will actually fight is each other, and after a couple centuries, I mean, you’ve gotta start planning these things. How they chose to go about it? Well…

the irony of cesare slutshaming juan for sleeping in brothels had me with tears in my eyes considering his very first scene in the show is him rawdogging a prostitute like his life depended on it...like babygirl we see you!!!

[Context: Pac and Mike asked Maximus what his Egg liked best so they could put it in the statue they made for him, and Maximus said his Egg, Trսmp, liked to build walls]

Mike: Ah, build walls! [Laughs] Just like the real Trսmp, ok.

Maximus: Yeah... There is no other Trսmp, there is only one Trսmp, and it's my Trսmp.

Pac: It's now your time, Maximus, to make Trսmp proud of you, it's time to make QSMP great again!

Maximus: YEAH! WE'RE GONNA MAKE QSMP GREAT AGAIN!

Mike: That should be your slogan, right? It makes all sense, it makes a lot of sense.

Maximus: Yeah [Cracks up laughing as "Pigstep" starts playing in the background] I think- I think I'm not the only one who gonna pick that.

So, I've given Forspoken a try, because for some reason that game always peaked my interest. Glad to say I was not disappointed, actually really loved the game!

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

The previous post I reblogged made me think of fanon Tails

thoughts on bbc ghosts ending

- ITS NOT CANCELLED!!! i keep seeing people say it’s been cancelled but it’s pretty clear for a long time that the six idiots had in mind season five being the final season

- obviously i’m upset that such a good show is ending, but i’m so glad that they’re doing it on their terms so a) no cliff hangers and b) hopefully a narratively fullining ending

- that being said!! if all the ghosts for some reason get sucked off during this season i’ll be super upset. not only is that unrealistic for how the show and characters have been written thus far, i think it’s a cheap and out of character way to end the show. like isn’t the whole point that allison and mike found an unlikely family with the ghouls (and the ghosts with eachother)? why would they just take that away??

- HOWEVER!!! the only ghost i would understand getting sucked off, in a way that makes sense for their character, would be robin. i don’t absolutely want him to get sucked off, but if i had to justify one of them, it would be him.

- i love this show so much and though i’m sad to see it go, it will always mean so much to me and many other fans </3

p.s. i’m in the US and haven’t even seen season 4 yet so i kinda have two more seasons to look forward too which is a plus, but who knows when i’ll see season five :(

Okay so I'm watching Fight for My Way and realising some things.

One is that I really, really enjoy it when you have a friendship that's so strong, you can commit small criminal acts against each other (sometimes, you just have to pinch your friend's nose until he gives up his seat on the bus to you. Or strangle your bff until she stops with the aegyo).

Another is that romance that's based off friendship where the two people have goals and dreams independent of each other, are just so.....special? It's like "I'm not choosing my goals or this romance. I'm not even making it about both. We're just people with dreams and lives and struggles and one of them happens to be this stupid love" (so far, anyway....sparks haven't fully fluttered yet and it's absolutely hilarious to watch them be so angry that the other is sparking The Feelings in them). And I'm not reallyyyyy into many romances (I tend to read a lot and a lot of romances where both are treated like people), but it really is kinda nice to see that

Also, I LOVE that wanting to be a spouse is treated a valid dream, as much as wanting to be an anchorwoman or mma fighter or whatever Jooman has going on.

Finally, I think that the biggest flaw in these "treat both of them like people" romances is that when you stick them in tropes (like the guys fighting over girl trope), it's gonna be awkward.

Either way, love the banter. Love the fact that they're bullying each other relentlessly. Dynamic is peak....

i love the bias + the fan pairings so much because on the surface its very "oh, well, the bias just has to fall for the fan and then its happily ever after" but no! its way more fun than that!

the fan isnt in love with the bias. in fact, the fan doesnt view this world as reality, nor do they even view their bias as a human. the fun part of this pairing is the fan having to recognize the world they live in as their new reality and the people around them as people! the bias falling for the fan is just part one, the fan falling for the bias as an Actual Human Being is just as important an element

I'm just over here listening to "As Lovers Go" 20 years later and realizing that it describes my life and I'm in tears. Seventeen year old me had no idea how much this song would mean to me right now. I found him.
