TOMOSHIBI

CHORUS Turning our hardships into flow, overcoming that which we couldn’t control (yeah) Shinjuku’s luring lights have been let go, been let go, been let go (1) Even the smallest of lights can still glow, and illuminate us So let’s go! We’ll run ahead - our fangs are ready, spitting out my verse

JAKURAI If it might keep me from tripping over my own feet I would help whoever needs me This wish, made to some unknown power No more will I allow it to consume me I’ve stopped counting the things that I’ve lost Now I will fight with what’s left of my anguish My story is unknown, concealed in darkness So I will search for what makes me “myself”

DOPPO “A renewed inspiration for musical creation Having you around, sensei, is the best kind of medicine”

JAKURAI I will put more faith in myself It is fine, you are both here by my side Keep on moving forwards, and don’t ever look back Head towards freedom from this labyrinth’s walls I will bring salvation to everyone, all over Japan No more will this goldfish tear away from my net

CHORUS Turning our hardships into flow, overcoming that which we couldn’t control (yeah) Shinjuku’s luring lights have been let go, been let go, been let go Even the smallest of lights can still glow, and illuminate us So let’s go! We’ll run ahead - our fangs are ready, spitting out my verse

HIFUMI I have a phobia that keeps me closed off like firm tofu But when I put on my suit, of course I outgrow that (2) I want to understand how you express yourself Encouraging my maternal instincts even more today Barely able to stand, staying strong on my knees (3) Don’t turn your back on my emotional instability Conveyed through these words Today may be cold, but still I can’t yet part From this suit I want to gently cover you with (uh) You’ve always been special, my only one The days I spoke those scripted words are coming to an end Sensei and Doppo, I strive to reach them both

JAKURAI “Now together, our three hands shall open this frozen door”

HIFUMI As one, we’ve come to talk and rely on one another Exposing insides, breaking shells, fighting with our scattered flow Putting everything we have into making flowers bloom in this so-called dead earth

CHORUS Turning our hardships into flow, overcoming that which we couldn’t control (yeah) Shinjuku’s luring lights have been let go, been let go, been let go Even the smallest of lights can still glow, and illuminate us So let’s go! We’ll run ahead - our fangs are ready, spitting out my verse

DOPPO I have become my company’s hands and feet In order to keep from getting fired, I work twice as hard All those times I thought “why is it always me?” Honestly, I already knew I was being bitter out of habit Overtime nightscape, there’s still darkness within moonlight Shouting out all these emotions in metropolis Tokyo Acting before speaking, I’ll muster all my courage

HIFUMI “Don’t worry, we’ll always be right here behind you”

DOPPO Good morning, sir! Let me lay out a proposal This isn’t just flattery, it’s full-fledged grovelling Instead of a train strap, I’ll grip my mic and sing So long as I finish work on time, the future outside won’t be dark To the verses supporting me, there’s only one answer Someday I’ll soak my pillow with drool instead of tears Who can I beat while beating myself down? I don’t care for tricks, just an overwhelming sound

JAKURAI With my stethoscope I also hold a “microphone” With this chord I will breathe out my “rhyme and flow”

HIFUMI Bring me any number of “ice shots” Just don’t get drunk off me and I’ll give you my “love”

DOPPO Getting the train to work, I’m “on my way” Swaying with the crowd every day “like a liveshow”

MTR If you try to run away there’ll be “no tomorrow” Determinedly facing the morning together, “life goes on”

CHORUS Turning our hardships into flow, overcoming that which we couldn’t control (yeah) Shinjuku’s luring lights have been let go, been let go, been let go Even the smallest of lights can still glow, and illuminate us So let’s go! We’ll run ahead - our fangs are ready, spitting out my verse

MTR The three of us are going to win this thing, singing without end from here on out The might of just one person won’t open this door, now is the time for us to move forward We don’t have the luxury of slowing down, constantly reaching out towards the moon Hoping that the light we see will never disappear

NOTES:

“Luring lights” is more literally “fire for luring fish at night”, which is the practise of creating a fire on a fishing boat in order to lure them closer. Obviously the fishing reference is purposeful here.

I phrased this the way I did because Hifumi uses the word “卒業” which is “graduation/moving on from something”. It gave me the impression that he knows his Host persona is more mature than his true, childlike self, and wants to grow up a little bit.

The wordplay here was difficult to convey… Hifumi says “どんと” which is an onomatopoeic word for “using all of one’s strength” - but it’s also another way of saying “drinking and vomiting”, which is a technique hosts use on the job in order to stay mostly sober throughout the night. He follows this up with “座って” which is “to sit/hold still”, so I went with the imagery of him on his knees to allude to the throwing up thing while trying to maintain his desire to appear strong.

Peace of mind part 2 / 2

pairing : Levi Ackerman x Reader

word count : 3,206 K

summary : you’re the captain of your own squad, and you have a habit to go spend some time alone in a cabin located near the young recruits quarters. One day, you found Levi there who didn’t mind your company.

themes : deep talks, rain, maybe new beginnings, feelings development (on your side at least), slight interest from Levi’s side if you squint hard enough, life choices, fears, insecurities.

warnings : tw astraphobia (extreme fear of thunder), mentions of death.

You can read part 1 / 2 here

“Oi, why are you leaving? Isn’t this the place you come to for some “peace of mind” ? “Yes, but you’re here now” you replied in a quiet yet steady voice. “And i’m ruining the view for you” ? He asked looking at you nonchalantly. His tone was sarcastic, his eyes pressed you for an answer.

«Looks like it’s going to rain »

When the captain let out these words, it wasn’t long before cold droplets started to spill one after the other, soon the cabin was draped in watery curtains, making you and the captain take a step back to avoid getting soaked.

If you wanted to get back to your quarters, it was already too late for that, as the rain intensified rather quickly, both of you have been a bit too slow to react. But then again, who could have anticipated such a heavy rain in this time of the year.

« Dammit, i think it’s best to wait. We’ll get soaked down to the bone if we walk under this downpour»

You let out a small « yes », both startled and worried by the sudden change in weather. You were rather...uncomfortable being trapped in here with Levi Ackerman even though your mind was running with reprehensible scenarios right now .

Let’s face it, you always had a thing for the man, even if your only interactions with him consisted in you admiring him quietly from afar and frankly, you’d imagined you’d be thrilled by the idea of being stuck alone with the captain, but you were in such a state of unease right now because of the weather that you couldn't really care about that right now, because generally, heavy rain also meant-

Your thoughts were cut abruptly by the mention of your name.

You actually heard your name ?

Levi was facing you, and had just called you by your name. Not in a million years would you have thought he has it registered in his mind. He said it again as to carefully confirm he was not mistaking.

« That’s your name right ? »

«Yes » you let out in a breath, a little confused.

As if he was reading your mind, taking notes of your interrogative expression, he answered your inner pondering.

« I asked your superiors for your name not long ago. You may have heard of the initiative by now, Erwin and i are in the process of creating a special squad that i’ll be leading. Details are still confidential, but i can tell you that i have been granted complete freedom in selecting the members. »

He paused before continuing, focusing on you.

« and you might be in it »

For a moment, you forgot how to breathe and your mind went blank with the new information. You did hear something of the sort, but you did not imagine Levi considering, well, you. You'd imagined you need more than just skills to impress him. You did give your heart and soul to the cause, you chose to be a soldier, you didn't get thrown into it, you also made the conscious effort to be better and more effective on the battlefield. And right now you, were having a hard time believing that your efforts were actually paying off. Levi’s devotion and dedication served as a fuel to your own, and here you were, both of you discussing the possibility of working under his direct orders. You felt your stomach flutter, it was impossible to tell if it was from fear, anticipation or anything else.

You ignored the feeling when Levi broke the silence again.

« I’ve seen your ranking and your score since you enrolled in the Survey Corps. A few years ago your skills weren’t the impressive kind, but with time you managed to outgrow yourself. Forty titans taken down solo and more than thirty taken down in team, now that's impressive, so i went and asked for your name. »

The thought of Levi walking up to your superiors and asking specifically to be given informations about you made you feel a certain type of way you couldn’t quite pinpoint at the moment. He must also have asked Keith Shadis you thought then. That man always held you in high regards, and you were grateful for it. You never caused trouble, you were discret but efficient, you started to convince yourself that you were indeed, worthy of Levi’s interest, additionally, he did like quiet and efficient people.

The cabin was getting extremely cold with each passing minute, and you were still stuck with no sign of the downpour stopping any soon.

You started shivering, you were both in uniforms, with only your military jackets to keep you warm, neither of you brought your cloak.

If he had his cloak with him, would he offer it to you to keep you warm ?

A bright dash of light appeared somewhere far away but close enough to brighten the interior of the cabin.

Lightning ?

Your heart started pounding voraciously in your chest, and you were afraid Levi was about to witness a side of you that you were afraid might change his mind about you. Not noticing your hands that already started trembling, anticipating what’s to come, you swallowed a thick lump, trying to ground yourself on the wooden structure.

Levi seemed to notice the change in your demeanor but brushed it off. You stayed quite the whole time, you didn’t say anything at the news he just handed you.

You tried to pin your attention on the captain and what he just said, you tried to compose an answer to give him, or maybe just keep a thread of conversation going, but when you opened your mouth, a blasting sound echoed all around, followed by menacing vibrations in the air. The start of a thunderstorm, the sound was as if the sky got torn in half and soon enough, a harsh light spilled through and painted the entire scenery white for a second.

Instinctively you pressed your eyes shut at the sound. When you opened them, you were one inch away from Levi, gripping at his clothes for dear life, as if you were afraid to drown in the harsh light.

As if you were afraid to die.

Your fingers digged so hard into Levi's shirt beneath his jacket that you were positive you were leaving marks on his skin. When you realized what you were doing, you quickly backed off, body still shaking and lips starting to quiver.

« I’m so sorry Capt- »

Another thunderous blow tore the sky a second time, and this time you ducked on the ground with your two hands covering your ears, your eyes closed so hard that little watery pearls started forming at their corners.

To you, it seemed like it was going on forever, and then, you heard Levi pronounce those words you hated to hear about yourself.

« You’re afraid of the thunder ? »

Yes, yes you were

As horribly embarrassing, childish and pathetic as it was, you were.

Since you were just a child, the sound of the sky tearing up was something that made you unreasonably vulnerable. But you couldn’t help it, such an irrational fear was beyond your control and you were fortunate that a thunder erupting during a storm wasn't a very common event inside the walls.

In the rare occasions where it did happen, you felt your mind losing its grip on your body.

You didn’t answer Levi, you couldn’t focus on him, you just kept the palm of your hands pressed flat on your ears to try and hear the least possible of what was going on outside. You knew nothing was going to happen to you, you knew your body shouldn’t be trembling in this way, but you couldn’t reach your mind in these moments and ask of it to calm down, and this is what scared you the most.

That’s it. You thought

The only thought that emerged in your mind for a moment was how pathetic of a side you were showing levi at this moment. Just after he confessed he was thinking about you joining forces with him in fighting for humanity, here you were, scared out of your skull, and out of your control by the big scary sound in the sky.

He’s probably gonna review his opinion of you.

He's probably reviewing his opinion of you right now.

He probably thinks your not fit to fight under his orders.

You kill titans by the dozen.

But here you were, scared of the weather

Sitting down, you had brought your knees up against your chest now, ears still covered, you moved your hands a little as the sound seemed to have ceased only to put them back on quickly as the sky screamed and shook again. You had opened your eyes just to close them again in terror. In terror how pathetic.

You didn’t here Levi shift or make a move until you felt the hem of his jacket poking at your forehead. For a second, the sound stopped and you opened your eyes to Levi who took off his military jacket and handed it to you.

« Here, put it over your head, it will muffle the sound »

Out of surprise, and still a bit shocked from your tourment, you mechanically took his jacket and covered your head with it, pressing the fabric over your ears as the sky screamed again. It was working, you felt as if you were underwater, you still heard everything, but it sounded so far that you felt somewhat safe, only then did you realize that Levi did what he did.

He didn’t threw an insult at you telling you to get your act together

Instead, he silently offered some comfort, acknowledging your fear,

Validating your fear.

The hellish concert went on for three minutes. Three long minutes during which the sky threw a tantrum with unrealistic vibrations rippling through the air, as a shrieking wind joined in the outburst.

A lot of things happened during those three minutes, Levi coming to sit next to you on the ground, waiting for the storm to pass, and you getting intoxicated by the scent of the inside of his jacket, Levi’s jacket. This is what Levi smells like. You thought.

You were glad your face was covered as you felt it flush. Sure there was a faint note of sweat, but hey, you were soldiers, and soldiers sweat. But you could also recognize different other scents all converging into something you found extremely pleasing, almost soothing to you; a bit musk and something that resembled a type argan oil, you inhaled in silence, taking it all in shamefully. The feeling of being almost afloat under his jacket, the storm seemingly far away, as if you were cut from reality, only being able to breathe Levi's scent, the thought of him soon consumed you, leaving you feeling light-headed.

It was the closest you had been to Levi, since all these years, working together from afar; since you saw him for the first time when he proved to be everything but someone coming from the underground, both in manners and values, since the time you used to watch him ruffle Isabel Magnolia’s hair and feel that ache in your heart that grew more and more hungry.

When you watched him giving the hardest time to the young recruits

When you watched how loyal he was to Erwin, always present by his side watching over their mentees.

When you watched him from a distance, putting his horses in their stables, and staying a little longer to care about them and give them small gestures of affection

When you watched him sitting alone, by himself sipping his tea, holding his cup in his strange little way.

When you watched him accidentally sleep in the stable, on a bench, on a chair, so many times, while hesitant-and scared- subordinates would shake him shyly to wake him up.

When you watched him, from this cabin.

You liked climbing up this cabin, it was quiet, calm, but mostly, you could watch Levi all day long without him even realizing it.

You liked the cabin because watching Levi from a distance was calming to you.

You liked this cabin because observing Levi put your mind at ease.

When you found him up here, you turned heels as quickly as your heart started thumping on your chest, ready to live right away. You knew, soon enough that it wasn’t mere admiration for a comrade, it was more than that. Observing him from this cabin, you realized you wanted to rest a hand on his shoulder and tell him to go rest, the more you looked at him, the more you wanted to touch him, to feel him. There was so many things you wanted to tell him. Thank you for doing so much, you’re killing yourself go have some rest, thank you for bearing the weight of shielding humanity against its terrors, thank you for devoting your life, please take better care of yourself, we need you, we love.

I love you

Just know you have someone who cares so much for you.

Who wants to be by your side.

So badly.

But never did you approach him enough to have this much of him. Sure, you had your exchange of words and your eyes met on more than one occasion, but it was all wrapped in formalities, it didn’t feel human enough.

This

This feels human,

Him handing you his jacket felt human

You crumbling in front of him in all your pathetic glory was also human.

Now all you could think about or feel was Levi, you chewed on your feelings while trying to imprint in your head the only thing you got from him, this memory.

You suddenly felt a forceful tug, his hand was trying to move the jacket, you released your grip as soon as you realized that he wanted to take it off of you. The thunder had stopped for good, there was no roaring, no blasting echoes anymore. Just the quiet sound of the rain now. You loosened up, stretching your legs in a timid relief, your body trying to adjust to the now foreign calmness.

The captain didn’t say a word, and you stayed quiet as well.

The rain was quietly softening and the air was seemingly less cold, you realized your body had stopped shivering at all.

« I’m so embarrassed you had to see me like this Captain» you confessed broking the silence.

« Don’t be. Every fear has its reasons, even irrational ones »

You really thought humanity’s strongest would be repulsed by such a sight, he required people to be always strong or so you thought, but come to think of it, he always acknowledged human unescapable states like fear, regrets and sorrow., especially when those were almost inevitable on a battlefield. You never seen him dismiss any of those emotions when he witnessed comrades and soldiers experiencing them, even outside off the field.

« Do you...have any fears Levi ? »

You called him by his name, your question had a personal undertone to it that it required you to, or so you thought. And you couldn’t believe you actually had the courage to ask the strongest soldier alive if he feared anything.

« Regrets »

You turned to look at him, he was looking down at his jacket, his white shirt slightly wet from the rain it caught, you felt a little guilty witnessing that. You didn’t have a clue what was on his mind right now, but saying that, Levi was thinking about all the soldiers he lost under his commands, his two only companions he lost because of the choices he made, everything he lost, everything he couldn’t get back and everything he have regretted but decided not to, because he feared that if he’d let those regrets slip into the crevices of his mind, he’d never recover from it.

« I think it has been fairly gossiped about, but i lost my two truest and most loyal companions, i let them choose for themselves even though i wasn’t confident with that decision, it ended up horribly, but it was also my choice. It was my first time outside these walls, and also the last time i saw them alive. I feared regretting all of it, i feared the disappointment with myself was going to swallow me whole, but someone...someone who refused to succumb to their demons taught me once how dangerous it is to surrender to regrets, they can make everything loose its meaning in a blink of an eye. I used to fear sleeping on an empty stomach, i used to fear that stealing and killing would be my only reason to live. Now i fear everyday for my soldiers life, but what i fear the most is the regrets i could have, if you let them overpower you, they can make you believe that everything amounts to nothing.

Putting his palms on the wooden wall behind him, Levi pushed himself up, putting his jacket on, arms sliding slowly into the sleeves you were protecting your ears with just minutes ago.

« That’s why i make the choice, every waking day, not to regret any of my actions »

« So you don’t see me as a weak person ? »

« You killed forty human-eating monsters all by yourself, i don’t call that weak. As long as there is no thunder while you’re killing them i think we’re good »

You chuckled a little, your face already a bit brighter.

« It already happened Captain, and i did just fine, seems like it doesn’t affect me when i’m concentrating on something bigger and more frightening »

He was already heading for the door, your eyes following the black and white wings on the back of his jacket, he stopped just before going down the stairs.

« I’ll see you tomorrow at Erwin’s office for some paperwork regarding your new responsibilities »

You watched his figure disappear like it from your view like it always does, even though you were just been announced you’re gonna be working while being even closer to the threat now, you never felt happier. Yes you will be closer to the danger, but you will also be closer to Levi, hoping you could watch over him and maybe just maybe protect him as a token of your love. Be it from your admiration or your strong feelings, you knew your devotion to him had no boundaries. He wasn’t only humanity’s strongest in spilling blood and cutting flesh, he was also humanity's strongest for having a heart equally as great as his strength, but the world had yet to give him credit for that.

Listening to the creaking of the stairs as he went down, you couldn't help but remember when you found him in the cabin, staring at the sky. “And i’m ruining the view for you” ? He asked

You aren’t ruining the view

You are the view »

Oh my goodness those Ignis mpreg headcanons were so well written! I really enjoyed them they were really cute, if ya don’t mind me asking could you do Prompto next? I’ll leave all the details up to you but plz give us more uwu

Mpreg Prompto (Final Fantasy 15 Headcanons)

Omg ☺️ I’m glad you liked the Iggy one. Honestly While making the Ignis one, I was thinking about doing a Prompto Mpreg headcanon but I didn’t think someone would ask for a Prompto one.

But I will give the the people what they want!! PROMPTO MPREG!! Expect this to be very silly 🙃

Idk where this takes place, I’ll leave it to your imagination ;) just know that no ones dead! Yay everyone lives!!

       Stress was starting to eat the eldest Dimitrescu sibling alive, her nervous habits were becoming so blatant that even the various maids dared to inquire about her health. That in turn made her snappy and irritable, the audacity of a human questioning her behavior was down right pitiable. Was she really losing herself that much? 

          Every day it grew a little worse, her truest instincts clawed at her mind. Begging and yearning to be let out -- it felt as if they were coiling tighter and tighter like a music box unable to let out a sound. The eldest was trying too hard to impress her Mother, to be just like her Mother. To the point her standards were outgrowing reality, and so with every self inflicted failure her mood continued to sour. Sleep deprivation became commonplace, and yet she still ran the castle like clockwork. Even if it was tearing her apart at the seams, she refused to disappoint the one she held so dear.

         When her sister’s worries and concerns became so vocal, an intervention was unavoidable. Her behavior was spiraling and despite her knowing it; she felt as if the situation was already too far out of her control. Bela desperately wanted to kill the beast inside her, those hideous impulses were holding her back from her ideal perfection. -- The blonde was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, and when she finally erupted her fangs snapped down on the hand of her beloved Mother. A leopard never changes its spots, and with hers on full display she lashed out with all the ferocity of that beast she had been caging. Fangs much too sharp and long tried feverishly to rip at grey skin, kitten claws digging into the fabric of Alcina’s clothes as a nasty growl mixed with the buzzing of an angry hornet’s nest bubbled up from the depths of her throat. 

           It was feral and unhinged, something so uncharacteristic for the eldest daughter who prided herself on her manners and maturity. Yellow eyes sharpened to look up at gold and then the mistake was realized, tears began to fall before she even released her jaw. The look she gave was desperate and apologetic, in those moments she could have been compared to a toddler with the way she began to crumble and tremble. -- What had she done? 

           The words caught in her throat as she tried desperately to speak, to apologize at once. Her pupils grew large and full of pure fear, “Mother.” Her voice came out strained and shaky, her gaze never leaving the Matriarch's own. “I-I don’t know what came over me. I just snapped, I just…”, her voice trailed off as she finally tore her eyes away to look at her own hands, “lost control. I’m so sorry. What I did is unforgivable. I...I can’t believe I failed you.”

You know you want to 🐖

Don’t be afraid baby. You can’t help it. You don’t need to deny it anymore. There’s no use trying to resist it. You know you want to be a pig. Just let yourself go and devolve into the greedy sow you’ve always dreamed of.

All a pig does is eat and digest, eat and digest. You’ll look so adorable napping between meals — letting your body devote itself entirely to the task of getting bigger. You’ll graze all day, never thinking twice about it. Soon what used to be a meal will just be light snacks between the *real* feedings. You love nothing more than to gobble down everything you can. You’ll be so obsessed that before long it’ll barely matter what specific foods you stuff yourself with: getting bigger will be your sole, mindless preoccupation. You’ll beg to be fed with a funnel every day so you can eat more efficiently. Of course you’ll outgrow every bit of clothing you have — but that’s inevitable. Pigs like you don’t wear clothes anyway.

Gorging and sex will become one and the same for you. You can’t even get off without being fed to the point of discomfort. Just smelling food is enough to make you wet. When you get *really* horny you won’t ask to be fucked: you’ll beg to be funnel-fed sodas, ice creams, melted butter or chocolate, heavy cream, pure lard — nothing else will be able to get you off anymore. All your lust will be focused on making yourself huge. A complete whore for gluttony. Sheer decadence. Such bliss. You’ll be so addicted that your meals will be more attractive than people. Building up your own fat will give you more satisfaction and pleasure than any orgasm. You’ll break down in hysterics and cry and beg if you have to survive even one waking minute without shoveling food in your mouth. By then you won’t know how to do anything else. Only feed your insatiable lust.

Don’t worry sweetheart: mama will take care of you. Don’t lift a finger. Just sit back and expand like a good piggy. If you make mama proud and eat all day and keep it down you’ll get a special treat: you can have dessert — and supplements to help you grow. And if you meet your growing quota each month, mama will take you out to a buffet to show you off. If you behave yourself at the buffet and clean all your plates, your reward will be an increase on your monthly quota. You’ll love it. You’re very greedy after all, so you’ll keep batting your pretty little eyes and asking mama to give you bigger portions and more snacks. If you can’t finish a meal or keep it down then I’m afraid mama will have to punish you: by making your portions smaller. You’ll cry and beg mama not to of course — you want nothing but to get bigger and to please mama. Maybe if you listen to mama and do better she’ll be nice and let you have your full portions back. Maybe she’ll even make them bigger — you’ll like that, won’t you? Thank her by surpassing your weight quotas — you want to make mama happy and earn treats, don’t you?

You can’t help it: your appetite just grows and grows. Out of control. You’ll probably fantasize about eating your snacks out of a trough. You’ll always just idly be stuffing your face, that’s just your way of life. No matter how painfully full you get you’ll just keep going with zero hesitation — it’s just instinct. You’ll become little more than a creature of habit — and that habit is growing. It won’t be long before you become so desperate to grow that you cry and beg for more when the funnel gets taken out of your mouth. You’ll beg to be allowed to eat and lick up even the scraps and residue after feedings.

You’ll fatten so fast you’ll need mama to lotion you and give you lots of vitamins to keep your skin healthy and soft. You’ll talk about nothing but eating and fattening — if you even need to talk anymore. In time you will likely forget what your body even looked like before you decided to be a pig. If you need to move you can try to waddle, but before long you’ll be too heavy to stand upright — but even walking on all fours will be rather hard with your belly and breasts dragging on the floor, so you’ll only be able to manage that when you have the energy. Might as well just stay in bed, baby. It’s a lot more fun to roll around and snack than to waste energy trying to waddle anywhere. Don’t want to burn calories by accident, do you?

Just let go, babe. You know it’s what you want. You were destined to be a prize hog. Give in to it. You know you won’t be content until you do. It’s pointless trying to deny it or make excuses. You were born for this, your every instinct and desire is driving you inevitably towards it. Just stop thinking and eat, little jellybean. Just eat, and eat — grow into the fat pig of your dreams. Let it happen. I promise you’ll never be happier.

i feel like the fandom isn’t giving the Crystal Gems enough credit for their dealings with Steven.

Sure, they’re not doing their family duties very well, they haven’t adjusted to him getting older and outgrowing his older habits, and him being their therapist has worked out BADLY for him.

but how are they supposed to know better?

Don’t forget; their dynamic with Steven is profoundly unnatural for Gems.

I’m not using that lightly, and i am stating it with great emphasis. Raising children is NOT NORMAL for gems.

they do not have the psychological gear for it.

they do not have the built in instincts or concept of family dynamics.

Gems do not raise children. they are created knowing how to do a job, and they are a collective. They don’t have babies, they don’t have discrete family units, and the underpinnings of all of that means they are genuine aliens, dealing wit ha situation they were literally never designed for.

to get the right perspective, think of this less as ‘magical women from outer space raising a kid’, and more like ‘robots grown beyond their programming attempt to raise a child’ and you have the same difficulties when it comes to them having no idea what they’re doing.

heck, they’re used to character development happening over eons of growth! Pearl can recall humans being hunter-gatherers, and implies the shift to modern technology feels recent to her. Steven taking a few years to tire of games and toys he used to care about is happening so fast to them, they cannot even process it.

give them a little credit, at least, for trying to cope with a situation so profoundly alien to beings who were never designed to do anything like deal with him.

@gracefallen​ said: ben / cleo

Who’s more dominant: In a turn of events, Cleo

Who’s the cuddler: BEN SOLO

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Ben, typically, just because he’s a giant; but also sometimes Cleo will hold him

What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Cleo laying with her head in his lap while he runs his fingers through her hair and Ben’s reading.

Who uses all the hot water: This is literally always Cleo, she’s a primper

Most trivial thing they fight over: Whether or not cream belongs in tea; Cleo says yes, Ben says no

Who does most of the cleaning: If either of them, it’s definitely Ben because Cleo has never really developed the habit of cleaning up after herself

What has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue: I can see them watching a lot of murder mysteries together, idk why specifically. 

Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: I will say it again here that Cleo hates being cold. She is also very melodramatic, so she will be upset if the heat’s not working and the house falls below like 70 degrees. 

Who leaves their stuff around: Cleo

Who remembers to buy the milk: Ben

Who remembers anniversaries: Both of them, and they’re both super sweet about it

Who cooks normally: Ben

How often do they fight: They squabble frequently, but it’s usually a teasing sort of fight. True fights between them usually stem from Snoke’s influence, either on Ben to turn him against Cleo or on Cleo pointing out that Ben doesn’t have to listen to Snoke and can make his own decisions. 

What do they do when they’re away from each other: Over time, Cleo develops the instinct to share things with Ben and will turn to her left when an idea sparks, or she has some sarcastic commentary, or is looking for back up in an argument even when he isn’t there. Upon remembering he isn’t there, she’ll turn her attention back to the conversation or scene before her a little forlornly.

Nicknames for each other: Cleo refuses to call him Kylo, unless she’s very, very angry with him. She only uses that alias to intentionally hurt him or push him away ( which is not great of her, but she’s not nice when she’s upset ). So she will pretty much exclusively call him Ben. Although some other affectionate nicknames include prick, asshole, and idiot.

Who is more likely to pay for dinner: Cleo 

Who steals the covers at night: Cleo. But also, if/when they do share a bed you can bet she unconsciously gravitates towards him because he’s radiating warmth and so she wakes up snuggled against him and is a little mortified.

What would they get each other for gifts: Cleo buys him books, especially old books that have beautiful bindings and books in strange foreign languages. Ben gets her weapons ( not ornamental ones, but real weapons ) against the advice of absolutely everyone, and teaches her how to use them.

Who kissed who first: I imagine it as a sort of mutual crashing together right in the midst of an argument, where they’ve both paused and got distracted by how close they were and got caught up staring at each other’s lips... Yeah, that kind of kiss

Who made the first move: Ben, trying to smooth things over with her, extending an offer of peace between them && Cleo probably scoffed in his face, which didn’t help anything

Who remembers things: They both remember all the bad things they’ve done and said to each other which makes moving forward difficult at first, but as they get to know one another the positive memories start to outweigh the negative

Who started the relationship: Depending on the verse, it can be sort of accidental, like they had no intentions of actually liking one another, but were forced together by circumstance; or in the verse where they’re tormenting Aron, it was kind of Ben

Who cusses more: Ben?? 

What would they do if the other one was hurt: Shocking everyone, they would fight to get to the other. If Ben was hurt, rather than Cleo standing idly by and watching her ‘enemy’ suffer, she would do everything in her power to save him and ease his pain. Even at early stages in their relationship, she can’t sit comfortably with seeing anyone suffering. As their relationship progresses, she would fight and kill to get to him, to save him in the way she couldn’t have saved her other loved ones in the past. 

Who is the dirty talker: Considering Ben is a lot more sex positive by nature, I’d say him. As Cleo grows more comfortable in their relationship, though, she might surpass him. It’s hard to say, because she’d really have to outgrow the notion that’s been sort of ingrained in her since birth that princesses are supposed to behave and speak properly.

A head canon: In the Kraeshian Empire verse, Cleo made an effort to actually hit Ben because she thought he might try to consummate their marriage on their wedding night and when he easily caught her hand she was about ready to spit in his face when he stepped back and made it clear he had no intentions to sleep with her that night, or any other night for that matter. She was a little dumbfounded at that, but even more so when he declared her piss poor effort at hitting him indicated she would need to immediately begin self defense training with the guard. Cleo tried and failed to wrap her mind around the strange events for the hours after until she fell asleep.

“Someone tell me what’s going on because I have no idea what I’m looking at right now” I imagine Harry saying that about something that the cat bureau did that might be bad or funny. The last prompt you did made me cry but that means that you did a great job!!!👍👍👍👍 keep up at your work and keep being amazing!!!!

A/N: I feel like writing is one of the few things you can get told “it made me cry, good job!” and I love that XD I went for something funnier here because I’ve been working on TBF and the last chapter made me feel things. 

ALSO: @nalua93 you sent me the prompt: “How’d you light that on fire? I didn’t even know that was possible.” I made a note of it and Tumblr promptly ate it, but it combines well with this ficlet, so here you go! One for the price of two!

Haru didn’t remember much from her chemistry classes. 

Truth be told, she had always known that chemist was never going to be a viable career option for her, so she hadn’t exactly thrown herself into it the same way she had with her other subjects. She had passed, and that was the important thing. 

She was, however, fairly certain that stone didn’t burn. 

She stood under the archway of the Sanctuary’s entrance, hands clasped together as if in prayer and chin leaning against them as she regarded the pandemonium laid out before her. She was very still and very calm despite the fact that her heart was racing at a hundred miles an hour. Her threshold for panicking had risen considerably since joining the Bureau, but even so she was on the verge of hitting her limit. 

“Someone,” she said loudly over the roar of flames, “tell me what’s going on because I have no idea what I’m looking at right now.”

The rest of the Bureau were standing a safe distance off from the fire and were giving the column of flames the same kind of look that mechanics give particularly stubborn cars. They did, however, jolt at her voice. 

Was it her imagination, or did Baron look just a smidgen guilty?

“What’s it look like to ya?” Muta demanded. “It’s a blooming big pillar of fire.”

“I get that,” Haru said weakly, “but why?”

Muta and Toto pointed to Baron. 

“Now, I hardly think that’s fair–” Baron began. 

“Messing with magic? Again?” Before Baron could protest - as if magical mishaps courtesy of his trial and error wasn’t a regular occurrence - she continued. “How? I mean, just how did you set Toto’s column alight? It’s stone. It’d have to be… be…”

“Nearly as hot as magma,” Toto supplied when Haru couldn’t even imagine what temperatures would set stone on fire. 

Baron’s sheepish aura lifted. “Ah, I see your confusion. The column itself is not on fire, but is actually surrounded by a circular wall of flame caused by something in its centre.”

Haru stared. “And that makes things better how?”

“Well, at least the column isn’t on fire.”

“Wow, the bar is so low.” She glanced to him, tearing her eyes from the disaster for a few seconds. “Isn’t fire, like, supremely bad news for you? You’re made from wood. Last I checked, fire beats wood.”

“I was indeed sculpted from wood, but in my current form I am as flesh and blood as you.”

“Oh good,” Haru said faintly. “Then you’ll just burn like the rest of us.”

“Not all of us,” Toto interjected. “I was carved from stone.”

“Can you do that? Change back and keep moving?”

“With some magical effort, yes.”

“Toto,” Baron said, “we’ve discussed this. You’re not going in there alone. We have no idea what’s causing this.”

“Let me know when you come up with one of your foolproof, risk-free plans you’re so well known for thinking up then.”

“You still haven’t told me how this all started,” Haru reminded them, interceding before there could be the risk of an uncharacteristic argument between Toto and Baron. “I get that you were messing with magic-” and she barrelled on before Baron could protest “-but what kind of magical mess does that?” 

Baron mumbled something. 

“What was that?”

He mumbled again.

“He was working on his light show,” Muta translated. 

“And he set the air on fire?”

“I set nothing on fire!” Baron hotly protested. “I was simply trying a new angle for the light, and it seems to have.. triggered something.”

“There was a cracking sound from the pillar,” Toto said. “And the next thing we know - whoosh.” 

“Stone en flambe,” Muta added. 

Toto snorted under his breath. 

Baron looked less than amused. Haru wasn’t aware that it was possible to blush past fur, but some of his ginger fur looked decidedly redder than she was familiar with. 

She tore her gaze away, aware that maybe staring too long at Baron would raise questions, and looked back to the pillar of fire just as something collapsed from it. Haru yelped and leapt aside, brain muddling in adrenaline-fuelled panic, and nearly jumped the wrong way. She skittered out of falling range and grey bricks bounced past her feet. Round. Smooth. Familiar. 

The remains of Toto’s plinth rolled to a halt against the archway. 

Gazes were beginning to be exchanged when the ground shook and the paving stones rippled like waves on an ocean. Haru dropped down to a crouch before she could fall. A weight on her shoulder told her Baron had joined her before the waves could swallow him up at his current height. 

“Wh-what–” she juddered “–did you do?”

“I told you - light magic–” Baron began. 

“Light magic doesn’t d-do this!”

And then the shaking stopped. The column of fire vanished. The silence that followed - devoid of the crackle of flames or the rattle of stones - was almost heavy. Haru could hear her own breaths. Her own heartbeat. The creak of her joins as she rose back to her feet. 

A infant’s wail.

She tiptoed towards the source - which was, naturally, in the centre of the Sanctuary, right where the fire had circled and Toto’s column had originally rested - and there was a tiny cavity in the ground. About a foot in width, once upon a time hidden by the base of Toto’s column, and only another foot deep. 

Inside rested the remains of an egg. 

It was speckled blue, like a sparrow’s egg except for some rather major details. The first of which, obviously, was that this egg was at least tenfold - if not double that again - the size of a sparrow’s egg and that sparrows - in Haru’s experience - were not in the habit of laying their eggs beneath stone pillars. 

And the final - most damning - clue was the fact that inside the cracked egg sat a dragon. 

Haru took a sudden intake of breath, all the shock she could afford to give in a day already full of surprises. “Tell me that’s not what it looks like,” she said.

“It’s not what it looks like,” Baron echoed dutifully.

“It’s… it’s a lizard or something. Just… your average lizard that hatches from an egg hidden away for… who knows how long in a blast of fire… Baron, how the flip did you manage to hatch a dragon’s egg?” Haru eventually demanded. “I mean. Seriously?”

Toto landed on her other shoulder, head dipped in thought. “Dragon eggs can go through a period of almost unlimited dormancy; it’s possible that egg has been down there for longer than we’ve been at the Sanctuary. If Baron’s experimentation with his usual light show managed to somehow pierce through to the egg, it might have mistaken it for being removed and prompted it to hatch.”

“And… the fire?”

“Some dragons only hatch in fire. It’s very possible the Sanctuary provided fire to help it.”

“Yeah, well, some warning woulda been nice,” Muta muttered. He finally joined them, looking a little worse for wear after the earthquake. He made a face at the baby dragon that was nearly as large as him. “So, uh, what’d we do with it now? Is there a dragon cattery we can drop it off at? A draggery? The RSPD?”

The dragon clawed its way out of its egg and stumbled on newborn legs towards Haru. She took a half-hearted step back but didn’t try to pry it off as it grabbed her ankle. It curled around her foot like a possessive cat. “Uh no. Dragon’s don’t…. uh, they don’t imprint, do they?”

The dragon gave a soft crooning noise that almost sounded like a purr. 

“Some dragons do,” Toto said.

“This one?”

“…Maybe.”

“I can’t look after a dragon! I can barely look after houseplants! I managed to kill a spider plant once!”

“How?” Baron asked. 

 “I just… look, I cannot be this dragon’s mommy, okay? Even if I was the queen of houseplants, I’m not allowed pets in my flat. My landlady would have my head. And - and dragons get big, don’t they? I don’t even have a garden. How long before it outgrows my tiny apartment? I don’t have enough space to swing a cat on the best of days - sorry. But, come on, this is crazy, I cannot…” 

She trailed off as the dragon continued to croon happily. 

Her common sense yielded a few brain cells to the basic instincts of ‘cute’ and ‘pet’. She reluctantly gave it an obliging scratch behind the ears and the entirely of her brain threw in the towel as the dragon crooned happily and leant into the touch. 

“Dammit,” she whispered. “Alright, but you guys are helping with toilet training.” 

[danielxrk]

                      ✞ COLLABORATION *   FEAR 

daniel’s entire week is consumed by rap-- justifiably so, considering it’s what he’ll be doing for the next episode of the mgas. he’s listened to beat after beat, rap after rap, song after song trying to piece together a performance that will make him look good on stage and be something he can be proud of.

he doesn’t know if god is making a joke of his life or giving him an opportunity when one of the street performers he passes asks the crowd if anyone can rap. there’s still a part of daniel that wonders if he can, even after all of the effort he’s put into it in the past months-- even as much as he enjoys it. he hesitates. well, what’s the worst that can come of it? he can put out a completely mediocre performance, ruin said busker’s song, and...get some practice before he needs to rap on the mgas. surely he’s better than that though, right? even with all the confidence daniel lacks, he thinks so.

so he raises his hand. “i can,” he supplies, and the crowd that gathered in front of the performer parts for him to walk through. when he does, he’s met with someone that looks about his age, and he smiles. he was just passing by-- didn’t get the chance to hear much-- so he has no idea what talent he’ll be working with here, but that makes two of them. wait-- he looks at him again. that face looks familiar. where does he know that face?

he doesn’t think too much of it now. “what song?” he asks, and that’s what he should’ve asked before he volunteered. daniel’s knowledge of songs requiring rap is much deeper now than it was even a week ago, but he would never claim to be an expert, and he doesn’t have intentions of stumbling through and really ruining this performance if he doesn’t know the song.

he doesn’t have to worry about that, though. funnily enough, the song is fear, which just so happens to be one of the songs daniel considered performing for his upcoming mga stage. he learned the lyrics before he eliminated it from contention, so he’s in luck. he laughs at the coincidence. should he second guess his choice to eliminate it? is this a sign that he should perform it after all? hello, god? what does this mean?

still, he stands behind the microphone, feeling extremely bare without a guitar, and grips it because he doesn’t know what else to do with his hands. “do you want to start or should i?” he asks, and since the beginning is the rapper’s part, it’s deemed his. he waits for a moment, takes in the crowd, and feels that familiar fear, just like the song says, but he starts anyway, and he's glad he can sing too.

when i turned around i saw that i came farther than i thought i was alone and i suddenly got afraid when i saw myself i didn’t know i was exhausted i was lonely and i suddenly got afraid

he almost chose this song for his mga performance because honestly, he relates to it. he didn't realize how far he came until the arrival of the fifth season of the mgas made him look back at last summer's daniel, completely different than he is now. even though daniel was the one that had to make this progress, thankfully, he didn't do it alone; he had his friends beside him, and relied on them every step of the way, and could even credit him for some of this progress. still, he's been through so much in recent months. when he sees himself-- when he really sits down to think about it, he didn't know he was exhausted. he's recovering now, with his own apartment, and empty enigma's album released-- a month of peace before life ramped up again.

you’re doing a good job when i get confused, i tell myself that and just go be yourself, know yourself i practiced about several thousand times being in despair once or twice is child’s play now opportunities are always ways to get up from moments of crisis, you know going on a trip to heaven? hurry and pack your carrier

to really capture this emotion, he needs to travel back to that summer of the fourth season of the mgas. even if he went on with sungwoon, he went through so much of it without him-- alone. no, maybe he doesn't need to venture that far. maybe it's just him, crushed under the iron fist of his mother, and if not that, crushed underneath the weight of his own lies. he ran and ran from his reality, believing if he kept cameo separate from daniel everything would be okay, but he ended up not even knowing himself, and how could he be someone he didn't know? he spent all day at work and at school and cramming his schedule full of studying, and crammed the band into the rest of his time, a necessary escape, like lungs for him to breathe, the only cure for this despair.

don’t stop, there’s still a lot to do look at the photo of your parents, providing for you you’re the mirror to your younger siblings, you’re the star of your family only when you cut back on your sleep, can they peacefully sleep hey you idiot, don’t make it obvious be strong, i know you’re lonely but you need to get through it, are you crying? be a man stop crying and take responsibility once more

this part stings. maybe he winces as he raps it, if only because it's so far from the truth. maybe it didn't have to be. maybe, if he did what his mother wanted, and stayed picture perfect, never straying from her wishes-- studying economics and becoming a successful business man, six figure salary, happy, conservative family-- he would be the star of his own. no, that's his brother, already vastly out of daniel's league, impossible to keep up with. instead, here daniel was, pursuing music, disappointing them. his mother made that much clear. but he had to get through it; he had to be strong, and he is now.

he pauses, and lets his partner sing, looking over at him with a close-lipped smile, nodding along. it's only then that daniel realizes he doesn't even know his name. after, then. it’s also then that he realizes he recognizes his voice, and if he recognizes his voice and face, he puts two and two together. mgas. soon, it's his turn to rap again, and he only ever practiced this song within the two minute timeframe, he realizes. nerves creep up in his stomach. he can do this, right? sure. sure he can.

i used to say this like a habit that i always believe in myself that i have no worthy opponent but enemy was in my mirror maybe i lost my reasoning in this continued fight i killed myself, even my mom is careful with me

this part doesn't require much reaching. daniel never believed in himself; he found everyone a worthy opponent, or someone that could easily defeat him. he's still unlearning that-- still outgrowing it. his mom isn't as much careful with him as he is careless with him, tossing him aside, but he thinks he'd rather this than what he had before.

receiving the interest of the public living inside a cctv i only crazily dug one well but i was afraid that could become my grave

Planning to buy a kitchen set? 7 reasons you should

As a housewife, you have plenty of responsibilities, like cooking, washing clothes, taking care of children, and keeping the house tidy. Your child gets inspired by your actions and imitates them. Remember, they are a reflection of your upbringing and culture. Following good habits and ensuring a safe growth environment at home is essential for a bright future.

A kitchen set is an essential inclusion in your child's toy basket. While they see you cook, they can learn from pretend play and entertain themselves. Taking care of the house is tedious, but keeping your child occupied while preparing food is a blessing. Here are some reasons to buy it:

Grows with the child

When you buy a kids' kitchen set, you notice that it grows with your child. Whether you buy it when they are two years old or younger, they treasure and cherish the toy till they turn 10 years or older. They play with it when they are young, and the scenarios become elaborate as they grow.

Sizes

You do not need a large house with a dedicated playroom for the toy kitchen. Starter sets for toddlers are small and outgrow quickly. Therefore, it is ideal to buy a standard size so that your child can play with it for years. If you have limited space at home, place them in the corner of the room and see your child enjoy their' meals.'

Vocabulary building

You can focus on essential kitchen vocabulary building, including nouns like plate, fork, cup, knife, verbs like cut, pour, wash, dry, and opposites like hot and cold, wet and dry, light and heavy, etc.

Promotes social skills

When several children play in a kitchen together, you take turns completing chores. You combine your efforts to develop new and exciting ways to use the kitchen.

Fine motor skill development

When your child is an infant, they practice fine motor skills by chewing and rubbing the gums using soothers. It provides them relief from symptoms and is also an instinct. Similarly, toy sets help you enhance those skills by picking up food and placing it on plates or cups.

Problem-solving skills

Your child faces multiple problems in a toy kitchen, like arranging utensils, deciding the vessels for serving food, and satisfying others. When you work as a team, you understand the problems, face them, and solve them together.

Categorisation skills

Talk to your child about different food and non-food groups. Place all the cutlery in one basket and dishes in the cupboard. Try sorting out food by colour. The ability to categorise food is an executive function skill required to expand vocabulary, form logical sentences, and make decisions.
