Neighbour!Simon Riley x Reader

Girl Next Door (Four)

CW: Titty sucking (MY FAVE), horny asf Simon and reader, some pussy touching, Simon gets domestic for you xoxoxo

Previous Chapter, Next Chapter

The sun was a bold ray of amber, slicing through every shard of glass with unbroken certainty, speckles of rainbows planting themselves among the eggshell walls, the only bit of colour throughout the bland room. Simon had awoken early, his brain working as a natural alarm clock as he took in the snuggled site of your slumbered frame, your hair falling against the bone of your cheek, lips parted and lashes dipping.

You were a pretty sight, even asleep and the Lieutenant had to find himself walking away, rubbing brown eyes with desperation as he hunched towards the kitchen, his frame skulking as he contemplated whether to cook for the both of you or just leave it.

He gripped his teacup, his coffee a sickening black, not even a subtle hint of sugar to drench away the bitter taste. He didn’t mind it though. Calloused fingers gripped the kitchen bench, his fingernails rugged and in desperate need of some care that, unfortunately, they would never receive.

Simon’s mind was littered with the flickering of gruesome images, depicting past scenes that have cast upon him. The silent images of bombs, the static in his ear ringing out the screams that seem to catch up to him every now and then. He watches as the residue of the coffee splashes down the drain, brown disappearing into the crevice of his pipe as he sauntered off to his bedroom, taking in the sight of an empty bed.

Your hands graced the doorknob, bones burying into your skin as you jumped at the intimidating frame of your neighbour standing outside, inches away from the door.

“Jesus,” you squeaked, voice timid, “you scared me half to death, Simon.”

Your hand rested upon your chest, soft skin flush with a morning hue, breasts strained against the skimpy fabric as you cleared your throat, the obvious undertone of sleep running through every note.

“’M sorry, didn’t mean to startle you. Y’ want some breakfast?”

You raised an eyebrow, slightly shocked at him still wanting you over. Though he never made you feel unwanted (from the minimal times you had been in his presence), he was a quiet man, almost nurturing the environment of being alone.

“Don’t want me out of your hair?” You were half joking, a cheeky smile on your face as you stepped closer to him. His face never spoke, the most you had gotten from him being a subtle raise of a curled lip, his eyes gently jutting over you. For the most part, the only sign of communication you could read were the words that left his mouth, wet tongue occasionally darting out to coat his lips with the slop of his saliva, teeth teasing the dried skin.

“’M a gentleman. Could never let a lady sleep in my bed and not make ‘er breakfast.”

His voice was course like it was coated in leather and tobacco, his words strung with a sultry arrogance that only added to the arousal of the butch man. Heat settled in your cheeks; the apples were decorated with a light hue that was catered for by the words he let slip.

You nodded, slightly anxious, yet more horny at the way he stood so bold and tall above you, massive frame filling out the shirt that you were sure wouldn’t be as tight on anyone else. It was almost porn itself, watching the way he had to duck slightly to fit himself under door frames, the way his shoulders would nearly collide with the wallpaper as she shifted between rooms. His skin was littered with tattoos and scars, and his nose was slightly crooked (which you assumed was from it being broken).

Veins bulged through his hands and forearms, skin slightly peeling near his nail beds as he worked a knife through a tomato, sultry juices seeping onto the wooden chopping board. His eyes would occasionally dart to you, following your line of sight as he felt a proud hum purr gently through his chest, almost satisfied that you were taking in the sight of him. The air was filled with silence, the thickness of the words unsaid, instead spoken by stolen glances.

“Do you enjoy your work?” Your voice was quiet, almost like it was trying to find lost confidence.

Simon was quick to answer, turning around to look at you as he cracked an egg into a frying pan, oil splashing out amongst the quickly cooking liquid. “Don’t think enjoy is the right word, but ‘m good at it, I suppose.”

“So... you’re a soldier?”

His laugh was dry. “’M a lieutenant.”

You nodded, not fully understanding the hierarchy of chain in the military but you assumed it was a hard-working position, the sheer size of him and the residue that stained his body adding to the unneeded certainty that Simon was good at his job.

“Do you want me to help with anything?”

“You can set the table,” Simon nodded, motioning towards a draw. You grabbed at two knives and forks as you plodded over to the dining table, your feet skidding against the wooden floorboards. The hem of your nightgown raised as you bent slightly, placing cups down next to the cutlery. Simon sucked in a harsh breath, cock straining against the hem of his trousers as he looked away, focusing on the splutter of eggs and bacon in the pan. He stacked up your plate before handing it to you, a soft ‘thank you’ leaving your lips as you sat down.

You were surprised that he was a good cook, even if it was as simple as eggs, bacon and grilled tomatoes. The only memory you have of a man working in a task force, being your Uncle in the Navy who couldn’t cook for shit. You let out a satisfied half-moan, almost muffled by the food in your mouth.

Simon heard it. The painful gripping of his fork barely justifies his reaction to the completely innocent sound you made.

“You’re a good cook,” you say, reading his face that was focused on his plate, his knuckles white and straining against the metal his fingers were snaked around.

“Thank you,” he replied, offering you a small smirk of gratitude.

You spoke a bit more, growing to understand your mysterious neighbour and who he was as a person. You looked down at your empty plates, offering to wash up to which he quickly refused and hushed you down to him just being a friendly Samaritan. Your knees wobbled as you stood up, the spaghetti strap of your nightgown sliding down your shoulder as it hung lowly on your bicep, cleavage pooling at the v-line of your dress.

Carob orbs lapped in the sight, pupil widening at the further display of skin, which you didn’t rush to fix. You were almost testing the waters, breaking the surface as you, both simmered in the atmosphere clouded with both desperation and demand. Thickened digits brushed against your other shoulder, resting there for a moment as you locked gazes, your lashes dipping slightly as you licked your lips, your mouth suddenly dry at the heat that radiated against your skin. The heat he was causing.

You felt the other strap fall from your shoulder, as you watched his gaze drop to your chest, his chest practically heaving as he took in the sight of your exposed breasts, nipples breaching through the fabric that had pooled at your waist.

His reaction was immediate, a rough hand groping at your right breast as he pushed you onto the table, your ass flush against the wooden surface as you gasped at his other hand coiling around your neck, chapped lips wrapping around your hardened bud as your fingers found a tight grip in his dusty hair, tugging at the roots.

Teeth grazed as your sensitive nipples, feverishly sucking as his fingers tweaked at the other, working against your chest with a burning fervour. A low moan left your lips as he switched over, a string of spit following his eager mouth as the pressure around your throat tightened.

The hem of your nightgown raised against your bucking movements, hips eager to please both you and him as the plush flesh of your thighs caught his attention.

The hand that wrapped around your throat quickly gathered at your legs, gripping them with demand as he almost growled against your breast.

“Lay back,” he demanded. You followed in suit, the clatter of cutlery behind you as you adjusted yourself against the table. Sticky thighs held themselves together as you looked up at him from your laid position.

“Such a good girl, hm? Spread your thighs for me baby.”

This almost didn’t feel real. Your neighbour who you had barely interacted with for years was standing above you, praising you. You sucked in a deep breath, achy thighs working themselves open as Simon lapped up the sight of your panties, darkened with your arousal as a thumb pressed against the fabric, admiring the way you bucked your hips.

You raised them as he slid your drenched underwear off before he bent down, sucking in a breath at the sight of your exposed cunt, wetness smeared against your pussy lips as two fingers reached out to pull them apart, webs of slick pooling against your heat.

“Gonna let me eat your pretty cunt, love?”

You’ve never said yes so fast.

NATLA PERSONAL PROS AND CONS

-katara all of a sudden being good at waterbending instead of showing the progression through aang and her training+ them training with pakku

-everyone telling sokka he's not a warrior

-also whys aang not training with katara??

-they way they are obviously setting it up to avoid doing the spirit library episode in the future by showing zhao learning about tui and la elsewhere and showing the knowledge spirit early

Overall I give the show a 6.7/10 it felt like an adaptation of a medium-well-written zuko-centric fan fiction that wants zuko/sokka endgame instead of ATLA. Stop the Netflixization of shows!!!!

⟣ ──┈⇢˚⋆ Pairing : JongGun x Goo

⟣ ──┈⇢˚⋆ c/w : implied romance | angst(?) | chapter 479-480

⟣ ──┈⇢˚⋆ a/n : Feeling cute.. might delete later LOL, legit writing at like 1-5am while i have work in 5 hours but i wanted to finish this lowkey. Not rlly proud of the concept of this story but im tired asf so whatever, i didn’t a lot of final drafting and just went with this on a whim of its rough draft🤮 this feels a bit too skippy and inconsistent. anyways this was (very)loosely inspired writing style by @/cosmichorrour who wrote “愛のある場所; river of light (that brings me to you)” literally please read it if you like satosugu, masterpiece of a fic🙏i think Gun looks cute with his little headphones, i put together a little playlist of what i think he's listening to while carving :]

snippet . ₊˚.  “In our next life, press play for me, yeah? So I could find you by song.”

“What are you listening to?”

The cold kissed Gun’s body. Despite the breeze flicking his skin and the chill caressing his body– he idly sat on an abandoned creeky porch rusted with dust and dirt, a fine show of how unkempt it was. Compared to Gun's expensive and lavish taste, this was the complete opposite. The fresh soles of his shoes rested on the debrised floor positioned in the most comfortable way possible. Even distant snow was cleaner than the porch. Next to him, peers a nosy blonde, who tries to inch closer to hear the music droning out of the earphones.

“Something.” A vague and simple reply– most suited to Gun's quiet demeanor, a conversation stopper from how meek his response was. But this didn't stop the continued prodding,

“What song are you playing?” even when the music was turned two thirds the max volume, couldn’t tune him out. Undeterred by the approaching voice, Gun continues to carve deliberate strokes into the wooden piece, his hands moving in amateur unison, one hand holds the piece in a strong grasp and the other chisels curves and divots into the oak. “Don’t ignore me bastard!” The guitar rift dimmed, one speaker muff violently torn from its place on Gun’s left ear.

“What is it, Goo Kim?” Gun doesn't turn his head to look at the man dressed in expensive winter clothing. His patience was being tested enough– yet Goo was already starting to cut the thin thread of tolerance that barely weaved itself to prevent Gun from punching a hole through the loud blonde. “What is so important that you have to come here and disturb me.”

“I just wanted to know what you’re listening to!” A dramatic whine escapes his lips, the fog of his hot breath filters visibility into the frigid air. His hands extend, reaching to shake Gun– unmoved and set in place like a stone amidst a tundra. “Fucker, I know you heard me.” cursed Goo who continued adding strings of name-calling, accompanied with a rough punch to the shoulder. 

“This song really sucks.”

“You’re still listening to it.” This time, Goo was pressed against him, shoulder to shoulder like a close embrace— ear jammed closely to Gun’s cheek, the expensive frames of his glasses barely kept a gap between them. Such indirect intimacy, but it wasn’t unusual for Goo to invade his personal space like so.

“I’m not.”

An exhausted sigh of defeat– It was futile to bicker back and forth like children, a pointless verbal skirmish that Goo engaged very often with him. Two things that made Goo bearable: talent and personality. Skill so exceptional that it left permanent scars on Gun– an enigmatic nature that gave an indescribable sense of familiarity to Gun– warm and colorful is that he would say. 

“Is your taste in music this bland? How can you enjoy this?” Goo complained once again, yet still inched near Gun’s earphones. Goo seems to be enjoying himself, eyes half lidded and lips pressed into a thin line as if he was silently humming to the foreign lyrics. 

“Abandon Charles Choi.” He expected this. The words hung just as cold as the air, “Come with me.” He knew he’d say that. An invitation that interrupted the building tension. A small glass thrusted itself slowly in front of Gun, liquid barely splashing out of the shot but quickly settled. Gun’s eyes fixated below, a distorted reflection stared back, such chilled uncertainty from himself– rejection was inevitable, the silence was enough to answer for him, but he humbles a reply.

They’ll kill each other next time. A promise, bounded by a shared drink. 

“Gun.” He called from a short distance. Gun looked up, pausing his carving, porch creaking from the weight of his light movements. “In our next life, press play for me, yeah? So I could find you by song.” A somber request, futile and odd, followed by a closed eye grin. Gun’s hands, momentarily still– twitched at the appeal. 

Gun nodded, lighter than the breeze that whispered between them, an unspoken response he could give Goo to his strange departure. As Goo’s figure disappears, his words carved deeper than the wood Gun’s been chiseling at for hours. Maybe in their next life, he could give it to him.

read wings of fire book #10 (spoilers)

so mad. idk how controversial that this is but this book was terrible and probably the worst of the SERIES so far lmao. everyone was so bad but especially the moon/qibli/winter trio. they were all terrible in this book and i feel so bad for winter. I loved moon in the first book and she was like one of my top 2 second arc protag faves but she's dropped down to the bottom of the group because of how obnoxious she acts in this book...qibli too kind of sucks but like he doesnt do anything annoying (or when he does it makes sense cause he values moon over winter.) he just never gets to obtain a win that isnt weak and overall lacks much weight behind it. everything he does moves on very quickly and it feels like the book just "waits a few seconds before showing what he does to artificially cause suspense". like I would have appreciated him denying animus magic more if he didnt react to the offer the same way he reacted to cobra tricking him (acting hopeful to the prospect only to reveal hes gonna say no at the last second as though that WASNT the obviously correct answer)

and like i probably do have some bias because winter is definitely higher than qibli for me in terms of characters but like I dont even have an issue with the fact that moon chose qibli over him, but its just the fact that the narrative needs to go out of its way to characterize winter as extremely unreliable and untrustworthy JUST to make qibli seem better. Winter is rash and irrational so I get it to a CERTAIN extent but the book acts like he is incappable of making correct decisions to the point his own friends don't trust him enough to tell him what happened to darkstalker (which i know they were like "we trust you to be there for us. not to do the right thing." WHICH IS BS AND RUDE ASF BRAH HIS BOOK WAS LITERALLY ABOUT HIM BECOMING OPEN MINDED LMFAO i feel like he'd be pissed but like with how much he hates magic he'd probably eventually comprehend it as deserved. Maybe if they said something like "its for the best you dont know" then THAT would make sense because they want peacemaker to have his own chance at life but like their reasoning is so dumb and it just makes me feel bad for winter and think that he deserves better friends who actually value him and the things he cares about. I wouldnt mind if moon chose qibli of her own volition because i DO like the subversion of winter seeming more like a love interest in the beginning (only for qibli to become the "true" love interest for her by the end) BUT i cant even trust moons agency and it feels entirely circumstansial because of how much the book went out of its way to make winter unlikable and the obvious "worse option" than qibli who acts perfect to her the entire book comparatively. it just feels like they did not give winter a chance at ALL and it even goes on to act like he NEVER had a chance with moon being like "i want someone nice to me who make me laugh." Their relationship in general is so bland and neither of their personalities are utilized to make a fun dynamic so it just feels like theyre both sanitized when theyre togehter. I think moon x qibli has a lot of potential to be interesting and cool and in concept/without context i dont mind the ship but they just dont utilize any of it at all in the book and it feels extremely unearned and obvious by the end.

I didn’t even think John Wick had that much going on 😭 It all looked nothing more than action to play in the background to me at least

Yeahhh it’s mostly treated as such which I will admit, does seem to be action filler

but there’s so much more than that. while yes, it’s straightforward, there’s many gaps that need to be filled. there are characters to explore.

i think the reason why i like john wick so much is the “straightforwardness” concealing a much deeper story. it’s a sort of tree to me. in which the body are the movies and the branches reaching out are smaller stories and other characters that have the possibility to be explored

people will argue “oh these characters bland asf” which is agree with (somewhat) but i think the enigmatic nature of these films and the lore just adds more to me yk?

[bohemian-nights]

This just shows me how HOTD doesn't know how to characterize Rhaenyra, in episode 7 we see her on the council together with her father and Alicent etc, and we see her giving opinions and showing that at least she knows something, and only in this episode. ...in episode 10 she looks like a lost puppy who doesn't know where to start and needs her husband to initiate the plans or someone from the council like WTF?! the whole episode 10 is ridiculous for rhaenyra

This show really is just all over the place. It started out okay, but it took a major nosedive by episode six and again in episode eight. Rhaenyra’s characterization was fine up until about episode eight(they really should’ve had her call for Ser Vaemond’s head, but they wanted to “humanize” her even though this was the same woman from last episode who wanted her own baby brother who just lost his eye to be questioned like a criminal🙃). By episode ten yeah she and young!Rhaenyra seem like completely separate characters(and she’s bland asf now).

I don’t know what they are trying to do with these characters, but they need to make up their minds and stick with it.

i love this recipe and have been making it for about a year with some thoughts

i only add 2 ingredients so it’s 3 things total but they do wonders and it looks deceptively simple/plain despite the flavor punch it packs.

i don’t fry the potatoes or add any oil (don’t worry, the last ingredient will take care of it) but i do peel the potatoes because i found the fry is too much work to flavor ratio (it’s a lot more active to monitor the potatoes for browning than to peel and throw them in a big pot and set a timer, but it does give it a very savory french fry flavor if you do decide to fry them first), and potato skins can cause stomach discomfort if you eat too much of it (something about enzymes?). it’s quite fast and low effort to remove the skin with a good peeler (i use the cheap $15 for 3 y-shaped peeler recommended by everyone from professional chefs to reviewers by kuhn rikon that is scary sharp and cheap enough to replace often despite it staying sharper than most of my peelers for longer) then:

i boil the potatoes in chicken broth (i use the knorr professional flavor base because it comes in a huge tub that you can use with rice and stuff, you just gotta chip off a little piece of the thing and it lasts forever without being $$$) and

throw a few blocks of a savory cheese instead of adding butter or cream. i found that this recipe is especially good at incorporating cheese because it mixes beautifully without getting the chewy or stringy texture when you make cheese too hot but it still add the butterfat flavor + the characteristics of the cheese without needing to use actual butter which i never seem to have on hand (i use the $14, four pound block of cheddar that i get from walmart and cut into rough chunks based on my intended usage before freezing. the cheese is cheap asf but tends to get moldy quickly if not used quick enough or if the fridge isn’t cold enough.) i’ve only tried a few standard blocks of cheese like the colby jack and cheddar you get in the refrigerated section, im not sure if soft cheeses would work as well with the flavor of the mashed potatoes or if hard aged cheeses would melt as easily, you might have to grate it first instead of just. throwing a 1.5 inch cube into the saucepan like i did when i made this but it still tastes great and you can’t even tell that there isn’t “butter” in it and it has more flavor depth than butter or cream alone

the broth will take care of the saltiness and the cheese will add the butterfat flavor missing from the butter so it doesn’t taste bland or inedible. you can add spices during the boiling period like garlic and onion powder or even like dried herbs for maximum flavor, but it’s honestly good enough to eat on its own.

the mashed potatoes are to die for and freeze beautifully so i’ll usually make this is bulk and freeze a bunch. it’ll be a bit grainy when reheating because the water will have separated from the cells of the potatoes but recooking it over the stove and mixing it a bit will bring it back to the original flavor and texture, maybe a little less wet and more deluxe or dense tasting if anything.

it’s savory, hearty, and comforting as fuck honestly. looks beautiful with a slight yellow tinge and would do numbers at a potluck since it scales well without a lot of additional work. i honestly ate more of this than i’m comfortable sharing when i was in the throes of depression esp. since i didn’t feel too bad since potatoes are the somewhat nutritionally complete (not entirely, you’ll need to supplement a few things but good enough when you’re tight on cash and have no energy)

the only upgrade i can think of would be to pass the mash through a sieve instead of mashing inside the pot (or a drum sieve if you’re fancy) as that helps with texture allegedly but i just used a fork. they’re soft enough usually after boiling. or like better ingredients but we’re here to ball on a budget

My perfect mashed potatoes

The secret is in the water; literally, it’s IN the water.

See, when you boil potatoes, a lot of special starches and sugars and stuff leeches out into the water. When you drain the water before mashing them, you throw away a lot of good stuff, which is a big part of what makes mashed potatoes “dry” and bland, even when you add large amounts of cream and butter and things.

So don’t throw out any water.

Here’s how you do that:

First, cut your potatoes into smaller cubes than you probably do. (I’ve left the skins on for flavor and also, that’s where a lot of a potato’s nutrients are, like protien and iron and vitamins B and C, just to name a few)

The reason for cutting them smaller (besides avoiding giant peices of skin) is so that there is less space in the pot between each peice for water to fill, so you use less water to cook them. That’s important because you won’t be draining any water, so you can’t afford to have too much water! For the same reason, just barely cover them with water when they go on the stove.

But! Before you do that, put the pot on the stove with some butter, garlic, and seasonings; let the butter start to sizxle just a little then put most of a single layer of potatoes in the pan and let the brown and sear. Turn them, brown them on all sides, get ‘em fairly dark (I forgot to get a pic here because I was worried I’d burn the butter).

Ready? now throw the rest of the potatoes in right on top, and add your water, give them a stir. This way, you’re boiling in some of that lovely fried potato/french fry flavor.

Okay, so, as they cook, you may need to add a little water, not too much! ideally the very highest piece of potato will be poking just above the surface. Now, when your potatoes are really really soft, mash them directly into the water. Just pull them off the stove, leave all the water in, and start mashing. Trust me. At first you’ll think there’s too much water. If you get them mashed and they ARE a little too liquidy, just put ‘em back on the stove. You’ll have to stir often or constantly, but they will steam off additional water without losing any good stuff.

Now add some salt, and taste. Right?! And you haven’t even put in any cream or cheese or anything yet.

Speaking of which, you can use like, a third of the amount of butter or cream or anything, and they will still taste better than usual. So they taste better AND they are higher in nutrients AND lower in fats and salts! That’s a lot of win — enjoy your potatoes!

Fuck Columbus! Indigenous Rights! And happy Thanksgiving!

Need to rant and this is the only place she cannot find me🫣

So me and my older sister were arguing earlier today. To preface, with much effort on my part, she finally watched Cobra Kai. Most of all, she said it was cringe and like, you cannot lie; it’s a karate soap opera. Some parts are going to be cringe.

But the argument wasn’t even about that. It was about Devon Lee. I told her I was changing my fav character to her because she’s one of the few unproblematic characters and she said she was bland asf. Didn’t think anything of it, Devon’s only got a season and like a half under her belt, she needs more time to get interesting. But what really got to me, was she said she was “pointless” and she was there to intimidate Tory. She said that she had something against her and that she was trying to “out champion” her or something along those lines. And let me just say this, I ain’t posting this to start more drama between us. (In case she sees this lol) it’s more of a matter of how we “read” her as a person and me just wanting to explain how I read it fully between the two.

First, women can exist in media without “beefing” or hating other women. It is possible. I really wish Cobra Kai and other shows/films. It happens, not every woman hates other women. Second, in no way has Devon ever tried to “out champion” Tory specifically. Since the first time we see Devon, we know she is an overachiever. She wants to be the best simply because she likes it. In s5, we get a deeper look into her feelings on that and see it’s stemmed from losing her mom. I wouldn’t say she wanted to be better than Tory, specifically. She just wanted to better, that is her whole persona. And Terry Silver and his new sensei absolutely pushed the “you become Queen cobra over Tory” motto onto her. Even at the last episode, before the footage revealing Terry was revealed, she chose to “do stuff her own way”.

Another thing she said was that she didn’t like her because she beat her multiple times and I guess you could say she was right in a way. Devon was angry that the ref gave Tory a point when she was out of bounds. That seemed to be the only thing she carried over into season 5. And that’s a rightful response. She was allowed to be angry, but what needs to be noted is that, she was still not mad at Tory directly.

Devon came long after the rivalry between the core four characters started. She has no reason to hate either side, technically. She was not pointless. She balanced out everyone’s female/male champion at the All Valley. As for when she switched to Cobra Kai. That can be explained by her overachieving abilities as well. She didn’t know either side that well, so naturally she was going to choose the “winner” dojo.

All in all, I’m high and like to rant. And you’re probably asking, why have you held onto it this long? Get over it. No. I over obsess over every little situation and overthink everything. Goodnight🤌🏻

[iheartgirlymcs111]

just downloaded ikemen prince and oh boy...

New hyperfixiation here we go!

Enjoy my first impressions of each character

Please note that this is based off literally they’re looks the most basic information besides a few headcannons (never too early in the game to start looking for fanfiction lmao) and ✨vibes/aura✨

And obvious disclaimer these are my personal opinions feel free to agree/disagree and i’d love to hear yours maybe i’ll do an updated one once i get more familiar with all of then

Jin: I’m sorry but I literally cannot get over his head to body ratio/proportions like he looks like sirius from ikerev but just with a tiny ass head lmao but personality wise seems the most intriguing and most like my type he’s the more chill flirt especially if you were to compare him to arthur or nokto just the casual “yeah i get women” lmao also whats his reasoning behind not wanting to fall in love with belle? I mean he will obviously but i am interested

Leon: cute i like his hair nobunga vibes starting with his route first the lion predator x prey thing kinda gives me the ick the way they do it but i like lions so- he’s charming but kinda is bland and feels like at some points he’s just there and kinda falls flat

Rio: kiro from mlqc but worse and charles ikevamp maybe it’s me projecting bc i’m not used to having loyal people in my life nor people with a bubbly personality but he sus asf I don’t trust him fully i feel he’s up to something- definitely the possessive yandere type if pushed and i think he would be like nico from midnight cinderella and i could see him being secretly in love with mc in every route i will say tho i do appreciate mc/belle has someone she’s familiar with and has a friend so she won’t be so alone when literally being thrown into the hands of 10 princes in a completely separate environment cybird said besties who stay together get kidnapped together 😌

Chavalier: i like his design although i keep mixing him up with yves lmao they run out of hair colors or something? although he has a library which is lit and belle loves books so that’s a good jumping off point for them to get to know each other definitely the most serious and most guarded major tsundere i’m intrigued but kinda annoyed at the same time like dude lighten up sometimes “eat a moon pie, drink a seven up, quit murdering people.” LMAO iykyk

Yves: really like his earring fr something with men and wearing dangly earrings man- just a shorter chavalier looks wise lol jonah vibes with like vanity and sweets? I think? I read one hc is he the sweets guy?! i think he’s empathetic just really guarded and introverted and seems like iyasu in the blunt way speaks but his actions mean 1000 words

Licht: mitsunari vibes looks but also aura? but he’s more reserved in a don’t bother me way and just seems uninterested in everyone and less angelic he just seems to keep to himself and kinda reminds me of sai from naruto with him being mysterious and a blank slate when it comes to facial expressions and personality probably the one I don’t know what to expect from the least hella mysterious dude

Nokto: arthur 2.0. That’s it. It’s that office meme “they’re the same picture” i mean the mole/beauty mark, cool toned clothing/color scheme, a shameless flirt? ngl tho i love arthur and i am such a sucker (as much as i hate to admit) for the playboy/flirt finding his one true love and becoming loyal type beat so his route is on slightly higher on my list

Clavis: chavalier? Clavis? I’m sorry maybe it’s my poor memory retention and the fact that i can hardly remember names of people i just met in real life but like man i can’t keep all of them straight definitely not the same as chavalier just the C names with pretty much the same letters throwing me off he seems nice, kinda flirty but honestly the hardest to get a read on he just seems chill and like a mix of all the other guys attributes I don’t know where to place him or what to think of him yet seems like the guy to just go with whatever the mood is or change it in an impactful but subtle way like by being observant or saying something if that makes sense

Luke: aww I already love this fool he really is just a teddy bear fr so I couldn’t imagine his corresponding animal being anything else and i love his little bear keychain would 10/10 go to build a bear or go squishmallow hunting with him we’d be homies fr also i love the fact that he literally is just lazy and doesn’t care and whenever he enters on screen he just seems like he woke up from hibernation definitely would be a good friend and good pilar/support to mc if they didn’t go down the romantic path

Sariel: hello Sebastian?? Both from ikevamp and bb? I mean the game made it clear this dude is incredibly sus and dangerous also just like unhinged?! Like he literally just kidnapped belle and like didn’t bat an eye he’s just like “yup i liked how you slapped that drunk guy and now you’re belle no if’s and’s or but’s” and that’s like so funny to me for some reason lmao not that belle got kidnapped just the way this guy is so just offputting but in a way where i almost wanna root for him??! faust vibes fr seems the experimental type plus the glasses plus the devil thing and maybe this is me just playing devil’s advocate *wink* but i think they’re dramatizing how “bad”or truly “evil” he really is like his route isn’t out yet (i follow the english games so idk about his original release in japan yet if it’s out or not) but if the whole game is the beauty and the beast theme maybe on the inside or from a psychological standpoint from how he views himself he’s like jean d arc

[lalunanymph]

To really think of it right, if we put ourselves in Ichika's shoes, y/n is the other woman. I hate how Ichika and Hanma acted in Back to Us, it's really hurt my ego. As Hanma is the one that took Ichika out from the darkness of her life, but still, i want Ichika deserved bad karma happened to her after she threw the food that y/n did for Hanma.

Please, make y/n being happy in the last chapter of Back To Us.

+ anon asked: Make Shuuji regrets on why he fall in love with ichika in the first place, soon realized that he love y/n more, BUT y/n already in love with another gentleman. Because in the Chapter 4, it seems like Shuuji will fall in love with y/n within pure love, and Hanma only love Ichika just because Ichika is his type.

Back to Us literally make ne pull out all my hair

+ anon asked: Even if Hanma fell in love with y/n, it would be ended up Hanma get heart broken, because once the memories of y/n return back about the arranged marriage, i dont think y/n wanted to stay with someone who have been hurt her the most. Hanma did such a many unforgiveable thing before, during and after their marriage. I really love Back To Us series, i really wished y/n for the happiest future.

+ anon asked: Am i the only one who ships ichika with shuji and y/n with chifuyu?? Shuji seems to actually enjoy his time with her, truly respect, appreciate and love her, they have good chemistry, and im actually sorry for them, like if that happened to me I'd be mad asf too 🫤 chifuyu is such a cutie too, y/n deserves a regular dude like him,,,i kinda want y/n to realize what kind of man Hanma is, stand up to both him and her father and dip lmao also i love that we're bland and normal in this story, it gets really immersion breaking when the reader is soo beautiful lol

Thank you for this amazing story! Can't wait to read more! 💕

compiling this all here bc they're a bit too long and i wanna clear out my inbox,,,, but i'm loving these theories and thoughts on it! i appreciate the love you all are pouring out to this series and that you're on this journey with shuji and y/n <3

Valid asf, I've honestly sorta given up on semi decent Canon Zane arc or trait, his character is bland and boring atm, he's been heavily nerfed in comparison both in terms of just brute strength and element

Like seriously, given everything that's happened and when comparing him to someone like Nya, who controls water and has partial control over Ice, it calls into question why Ice was even a core element instead of water (obviously 2011 and 2024 Ninjago are 2 different things but you get my question)

Touching a bit more on his element, I'm honestly really really tired of how badly utilised it is in show, it's to the point that ice doesn't make water anymore (S2P1 in the Desert and Crystalized also I'm the Desert), it can't even hold up against enemies well (S1P1 in Imperium and God damn Zur somehow (and this is comparing it to SEASON 1 WHERE THE MASTER OF EARTH'S FOOT WAS ENCASED BY IT)), and even when it's used it's used very very poorly

Like think of how Ice could be used for a moment: For making sharp on-the-go weapons, cornering opponents by summoning ice walls or spikes behind/around them, making ice armor to absorb any shock or physical trauma, or just even ICE PILLERS for an easy escape or quick height advantage

And this is only touching on Zane's element, I won't even get into his character and how CANONICALLY, we've yet to get a proper address of how traumatising his death in S3 was (I'd like to note, it's addressing the truama brought on by a traumatic expiernce, not what S4 gave us, which was addressing how he might have not been himself even)

Then you've got the stuff with Echo that was just, never brought up (whether you see Echo as an actual character or just "Zane's brother") and how that might've affected his out look on Julien ((tbf this is more of a Skybound problem then a show problem so I'll allow it)

Then there's the Ice Emperor who WAS addressd really well in fact but it was in... A book, 4 seasons and a special after the deed was already done and dusted

Then there's the lack of explanation regarding the show's stuble hints of him tampering with his memories (The march of the Oni set shorts and the Spinjitzu Virtues shorts)

Then there's the lack of reaction regarding something like him being just a robotic character for exposition and plot device or heck even characterless, so much so to the point are starting to doubt if he, in universe, sees worth in himself a lot (aham that one scene with The Administration, his whole "Hightined Emotions" line, the Wyldfyre voice lines (which all could me interpreted differently but from my own POV that's how it looks like at least, feel free to disagree tbh I wouldn't mind it), and just ughhhhh-

Zane's character has never been in a worse state, and it's even worse when you consider that not even the writers seem to be realising they're doing all of this intentionally

Like take the part where Zane calls Arin cringe and think about it for a moment

Zane, the show's definitive little guy since S1, calling a Teenager Ninja in-training (who is likely his same age or younger when he started with the ninja), struggling with being lied to by his best friend among other things going on in the season

How does that make any sense

Answer: it doesn't

Dragons Rising Season 3 predictions about Zane

Does nothing

Decides if everyone else is going to go out and find people then by golly he is going out and finding Pixal (maybe gets leads by going through the Administration's archives)

We get a flashback sequence about Pixal through Zane's dreaming or because he is missing her

Does nothing

Frog plush comes back

Him and Nya have a conversation of missing their loved ones PLEASE HAVE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE

If he does end up finding Pixal, they both work together and fix the mech that is coming out in this next set wave

Does nothing

Hermes kids are underappreciated as fuck so here's this post

hermes kids are dope asf y'all mad slackin this 2020 so screw canon hermes kids because canon hermes kids are lowkey bland saltine crackers or just plain have the Luke Rep™ and here's some fanon/should be canon cabin 11

(some of these are canon, just elaborated more in a way that's not too talked about in canon)

they are really good battle strategists. if you're on their team for capture the flag, you're in luck because you're gonna win. they go hard core and come up with plans worthy of the athena cabin (that sometimes leaves cabin six stunned, like how did we not think of that?) i mean, they come up with stupid elaborate (and genius) pranks, who's to say they can't do battle strategy as well? and hey, maybe not, like that part of their brain only clicks for pranking, but then they can associate pranks and strategy. you know those cheesy movies where the jock has to control some huge moving vehicle and the nerd is like i got this, the control board is just like my videogame! ? like that sorta. but they know exactly what to do, who to team with, and how to use their abilities to their advantage

they're really crafty. like they're super good at putting random contraptions together and are super creative, especially on short notice. they also know just the right way to use just about anything. "what can you do with a few sticks, a twenty pack of rubber bands, and a shoelace?" "glad you asked! do you know how many things you can do with an aglet? this one time..." but if they have a big project that they have a lot of time to put together, prepare to be amazed

they're really quick. they're super quick on their feet and mentally. they've tried so many different pranks they've had to have many backfires. but they learn a lot from them and use that to their advantage in the future. whether the backfire be their contraption or their target, they take notes and pull them out at just the right times

they are masters of stealth. children of the god of thievery? they know how to be sneaky. yeah, ofc they come off as loud and clumsy, but don't underestimate them. they can be quiet, deadly quiet, and they observe tons

on the observation thing, they know a lot about everyone. typically the smaller things, or maybe routine. this comes in handy on pranks AND strategy. they see the things that some people may even see as bad qualities about themselves and put the bad to good use (it makes some people feel better about themselves as well)

their dad is the god of travelers, they are super kind and caring to anyone who crosses their path. but don't get them wrong, they will cut a bitch if you hurt the people they care about (and they'll know the perfect way to do it)

they're really good a sports. i think this one is canon, but i'm addressing it anyways. they're really fast and agile, and their strategies for gameplay are always top tier (taking in observations from other players, weaknesses in the opposing team, strengths in their own team)

like i said before, they're really observant. as much as it can be hard focusing sometimes with adhd, when they're really interested they could keep focus for hours (something common in adhd: hyperfocus on interests), especially because they know exactly what information they need for whichever situation so they can pick the little things out easier

they're really good listeners. also because their dad is the messenger god, they hear other people's conversations very well (and just generally have a great ear). when they want information, when they're getting info to perfect their next prank, when they're on the opposing team's side of the woods, you can trust they'll hear every word and move

since they're so kind and friendly, they're really good to go to if you just wanna talk. they'll listen to you intently until you're done, and bc of their good hospitality, they always know just the right thing to say to cheer you up.

adding onto the last one, they're great communicators (messenger god dad). if you need to vent, they'll be there to hype you up (once again, knowing just what to say to do so) got tea? i mean, they'd love to hear, but they might tell

that was my list! sorry, it was probably repetitive at times lol. please feel free to add more if you'd like!! also, it may seem as if these are just random traits from other cabins, but remember, in the lightning thief before percy was claimed, luke said, "maybe you're a hermes kid, kind of a jack of all trades." they kinda have a bit of everything, but remember not every kid has every trait :)

honestly people wanting noor with britt must really hate the girl lmfaooo i don’t like noor but at least she seems nice and has a personality. how could anyone ever want her to end up with mean bitchy toxic boring britt is beyond me 😳

similar anon: your description of britt is the most accurate thing i’ve ever read omg “she is so pumpkin spice latte basic” like how is that so true lmaooo i’ve always thought that but was never able to explain it but you said it perfectly 😭 literally so bland that’s why like you said noor being her friend makes no sense (or sander even dating her... )

Well most people that ship Noor and Britt basically retcon everything we know about Britt but if you retcon every mean thing Britt has ever done then your left with a pretty bland girl. So to me remove all the mean shit about Britt and keep Noor as is........then why in the world would Noor date such a basic chick? Noor is like chill asf, expressive with her pov, loves art and seems to be detailed oriented and genuinely like a nice compassionate human. Even if Britt wasn’t a complete dick her general personality is pretty girl who doesnt see anyone around her but herself. Narcissistic and self absorbed but also so dull. Literally un-sauced grill chicken. Like sure its editable but thats about it. Tell me one interesting tidbit about Britt’s personality? Some thing thats intriguing and makes you want to get to know her or even just throw back a couple of drinks with her. There really isn’t anything. Also I think the Sander thing is meant to highlight the concept of complacency. Like Britt was seemingly what the public at large expected Sander to be with and in many ways she is. She is a pretty girl, who is definitely is infatuated with him and who the world at large would probably pair together. Like it was fine..... and everything was very average around dating Britt. Like I said grilled chicken with no sauces....and I highly doubt Noor would be down with grilled chicken. If anything she is probably a vegetarian.

[literal-fiction]

I rewatched Twilight for the first time in like 8 years and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Although it definitely had plenty of classic cringey moments and Edward and Bella's relationship is about as bland as unseasoned chicken. I don't really understand why either of them are so devoted to each other when they have about as much chemistry as me and running as a form of exercise -that is to say none at all. And they gave Robert Pattinson really weird direction on how to portray Edward that just made him come off as super weird and creepy and not even slightly heart-throb-y imo. And yes it IS super creepy that he is basically an old man trapped in a young man's body but I know Stephanie Meyer at least tried to make that seem less creepy by making him a virgin so I guess that helps....but only a little. But I did genuinely enjoy a lot of it when I didn't take it too seriously. The story as a whole for the first movie holds up better than I thought it would, the cinematography and general atmosphere of the setting was good and it made me feel very nostalgic. It's very much a time capsule. Also on a completely different note I am gay asf for Rosalie and her fake blonde hair and bad attitude.
