i know you

eli moskowitz x reader... (y/n) is basically jess in gilmore girls.. ive been obsessed with cobra kai lately

"what the fuck are you doing?"

"excuse me?"

you don't think you have ever felt as angry as you have done today. finding out that one of your best friends, that you just so happened to be in love with, had changed completely as a person was one thing. finding out he tried to beat up the third member of your little trio was another.

so you did what you had to, you always felt the need to go out the way to protect eli and demetri. you didn't think it would end up being from each other.

approximately half an hour earlier:

"(y/n)." demetri's face flooded your screen, as you were sprawled across your bed. calls were usually a common thing between the two of you now eli was distant.

"demetri.. hey! you okay?" you respond, taking note of his face.

"no." he says, in a deadpan tone.

"umm why? what happened?"

"eli happened."

of course. ever since your best friend since age 6 joined cobra kai, he had felt like a whole new person. he even gave himself a new name for goodness sake! you and demetri both knew it wasn't the real him. you'd known him for too long. that being said - this new persona didn't stop him avoiding you both.

"what did.. what did he do?" you look into your phone camera, worry evident on your face.

"he tried to beat me up! i was at the mall with sam and robby.. and i went to the comic book store.. and he was there. wasn't happy with my yelp review and tried to fight me."

"what the hell." your eyes widen slightly. rage soaring through your veins. what was he playing at? putting on a front to show off to his friends. why didn't he remember who his real friends were?

"i know.. i just can't believe he would do it. we were friends with him!"

"i know.. are you sure you're okay?" you ask, concerned.

"i'm fine.. robby and sam helped fight them off it just.. caught me by surprise."

"i bet it did.. look i'll ring you later, okay? i just need to take care of something."

demetri knew you all too well.

"don't do something you'll regret." he says.

"i won't."

now here you were, shouting at someone that was supposed to be your best friend. the boy you have had a crush on for so many years.

"don't 'excuse me'. you know what you did." you scoff, walking closer to him. you had decided to wait until he had finished karate to talk, it seemed appropriate.

"oh yeah? and what's that?" eli looked at you, his tone cocky.

"you tried to beat up demetri! what are you doing?" you question, looking at him in disgust.

"he shouldn't have put up that yelp review." he scowls.

"oh who cares about a stupid review! he's supposed to be one of your best friends." you say, angrily.

"not anymore. i'm not friends with pussies."

"what the hell is your problem? what.. you gonna ditch us just because we don't want to beat people up like you do?" your voice raises slightly, causing eli's scowl to falter.

"I told you, i'm not friends with weak people." he says.

"are you kidding? seriously! who was the one that used to fight your bullies in elementary? me! who was your first friend? demetri!"

"we're not kids anymore. people change. friendships change. it's not my fault you guys aren't strong enough for this." eli says, looking away from you, his demeanour crumbling.

"you're not like that either. you're putting on an act!" you exclaim.

"an act? the fuck? this is me now, accept it." he shouts.

"what's going on with you?!"

"nothing.. im fine." he says, his eyes searching your face.

"i know you. i know you better than anyone! this isn't you."

"what do you mean?"

"you know what i mean! starting fights with demetri.. ditching us for those idiots.. being so violent. why are you being so violent?" you ask, looking him in the eye.

the pleading in your voice makes his face soften slightly. you always had a way of getting to him. i mean, of course you did, he'd always had a massive crush on you.

"just tell me what's up with you! i care about you. why are you being like this?" you beg.

eli struggles to get his words out. he wanted to reach out, he wanted to hug you. he wanted to go back to yours and watch doctor who with you and demetri. but he coudln't.

"you don't.. you don't know me anymore." he forces out.

your face falls and eli swears he could feel his heart break.

"fine. don't expect me to wait for you anymore." and with that you turn and walk away, a small part of you hoping he stops you.

he doesn't.

he wants to, he really does. but that's not him anymore.

he watches you walking off with a pained expression, knowing hes fucked up. he just can't bring himself to stop you.

haiii hallooo helloooo heyeyeyeyy

jumping and waving at you

im gonna cook with some of these fall asks but ive been really busy with life this week(and being tired...) so this isnt my best ask ever

but your input will help if i ever decide to draw some halloween art of the tts cast(+hugo)(maybe)

what do u think the characters would wear on halloween, like to trick or treat(or wear for the vibes)

raps & eugene always match(sometimes if rapunzel can persuade her, cassie will match too), same w hugo and varian, but all of them dont go trick-or-treating, usually they stay home and give out candy or go to raps' party lol(or both depending on how theyre feelinh yk). when theyve done the trio, i cant stop thinking about cass, eugene, and raps beinh the mean girls trio... like regina, karen, and gretchen😭🙏 and hugo and varian have probably done nerdy ones(or, hear me out, seymore & audrey || from little shop of horrors)

catalina is a werewolf every year/j

frs, lance & the girls probably go as a big trio, or the girls do completely different costumes and lance just wears a funny halloween shirt(or dresses up as a character he likes), kiera has been a ninja turtle at least once(i feel like shed like tmnt idk...) and catalina was batman one year and everyone kept complementing her

this is not my best... but like please give me ideas bcuz i need to draw something for halloween with this group and i need opinions please im begging and pleadinh on my hands and knees

(while writinh that i tjought abt rapunzel & eugene beinh on of the couples from bridgerton and i think taht would be so cute what...)

Heyy hello hi im jumping back at you but then I trip over my ankles and fall.

(and shush I love your headcanons and asks)

Yes absolutely Rapunzel and Eugene always do cutesy couples costumes, and she makes them herself so they’re always high quality and perfect. She posts them on insta and everyone is jealous. (They absolutely did do Bridgerton one year and she looked like a goddess.) Maybe I’m just a big nerd, but I feel like they’d do a lot of historical couples costumes. They definitely did Hades and Persephone one year.

(They also did this)

I honestly can’t see Varian being the type to dress up unless he’s forced (by Rapunzel), same with Hugo. But sometimes they’ll do half-assed couples costumes if they go to Rapunzel’s party. It’s usually just a thrift store cosplay lmao. One year they did Gatsby and Daisy because the guy who plays Gatsby on Broadway sounds a lot like Varian for some reason…. Varian probably dressed up as a bunch of scientists barely anyone even knows of as a kid, though. (I feel like it would be really funny if New Dream and Varigo dressed as eachother one year hehe.)

Lance, I think he either just wears a Halloween t-shirt or he coordinates costumes with the girls, because I feel like they’d want to match sometimes. And if not, maybe he just puts on a fun mask. I feel like he goes all out for Raps’ parties though. He definitely has dressed as David Bowie on multiple separate occasions.

Cat absolutely went through a wolf phase. And did dress up as a wolf, a lot. Kiera dressed as a vampire one year to match her.

Cass doesn’t dress up unless she’s forced both mentally and physically. (She dressed up as Joan Of Arc for three straight Halloweens as a kid. And then Artemis for another three.)

NINJAGO AU DUMP BC I SAID SO !!

NINJAGO BMC AU

jeremy: jay- doesn’t get the squip to end up w nya, but instead bc he’s sick of feeling like a loser and thinks it’s be good for both him and cole if he was “cooler” bc to him cole is the coolest guy he knows and he feels like he’s holding him back socially

michael: cole- end love interest, obv obv

christine: nya- kind of plays a similar role to chloe or brooke in the sense that jay only tries to date her bc the squip tells him it’ll make him seem cool, rather than genuine feelings; has a little gossip trio w/ morro and pixal

rich: kai- got a squip a year prior, pretty much same character/purpose as rich

jenna: morro- idk i just rlly love the idea of morro being the queen of gossip @ their school

jake: lloyd- bros the green ninja ofc he’s the most popular guy @ school in this au, but also not jock popular guy like jake, more like the popular guy who’s popular bc he’s attractive but ALSO he’s just the sweetest guy. ever. and rlly oblivious to the point where u want to hate him bc of the way the ppl who are nice to him/like him are but you can’t bc he’s so sweet

chloe: pixal- listen okay she’s just a gossip girl ik im pushing it w chloe and christine here but let me LIVE okay let me have my nya pixal + morro gossip trio

brooke: zane- zane is the innocent guy that is besties w the gossip trio bc he follows pixal like a puppy and she would protect him w her life

endgame ships: bruise, bg pixane + maybe samuraishipping

would also include focuses on the dynamics between: kai + lloyd, rgb siblings, nya pixal + morro, kai + jay, + probably more if i fleshed out the whole plot a little more

thinking abt unagami squip?? or maybe some version of superstar rockin’ jay???? probably the latter tbh

SKYBOUND AU(S) BUT MAKE EM ALL BRUISE !! (rhyme time bbg)

so like on the one hand we have the obvious: replace nya w cole. which. i want to do obv bc it’s perfect and i have been planning out the details of the scene where he dies in jays arms and they turn back time and then we finally get our bruise kiss since FOREVER so im not letting my baby go even if other ppl have already written the concept b4.

ON THE OTHER HAND we have, instead of doing the same plot just switching around the roles of some of the characters, REWRITING THE WHOLE PLOT BC HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUTTTTT OKAY everyones always like “nyas the bride” “coles the bride” but what if WHAT IF WHAT IFFFFF *JAYS* THE BRIDE???? HEAR ME OUT HERE ME OUT HEAR ME OUT OKAY IVE BEEN THINKING ABT THIS IT CAME TO ME IN THE SHOWER AND I WAS LIKE. THIS. I COULD WORK WITH THIS. BC I WAS THINKING ABT LIKE SOME YUMMY COLE-PERSPECTIVE BRUISE ANGST OF S6 W THE SONG “ITS OVER, ISNT IT” THE OTHER DAY AND I WAS LIKE “HM WHAT IF I WRITE A WHOLE FIC ABT THIS” BC I CANT JUST THINK OF ONE-SIDED BRUISE BC I HATE THE ONE SIDED SHIP TROPE *BUT* ONE SIDED BUT ITS ACTUALLY NOT THEY JUST THINK ITS ONE SIDED BC THEYRE IDIOTS IS A TROPE THAT HAS SUCH A CHOKEHOLD ON ME AND NOW HERE I AM!!!!

any ways uh if i did this im kinda thinking like. nadakhans all “i wanna marry nya” and jays like “dude wtf u can’t just. marry nya ill fite u /p coles my real bbg ofc” and nadakhan says “shit u rite. too much work. plus i got me a captive rite here like it don’t matter who i marry cuz once i got my powers i can bring back that shitty girlypop of mine n e ways. damn bluey ur so smart” and jays like “wha.” so our guy writes a fun explanation of the whole marriage thing to the rest of the squad and he’s like “YOO so im bouta get married but that would not be great for me or anyone else in the whole world so maybe we should do something abt that like just so y’all know” and coles like “bitch not my MANS” and we’ll see where it goes from there bc the timeline would be V different and things would have to get done faster meaning they’d get done differently and id have to actually rewatch the season to figure out the kinks but as i continue to write this the urge to make this a reality grows every more tempting i am foaming at the mouth rn

dumped all of this into my notes and decided to share to gauge ppls interests (pls excuse any rambling my notes are full of so much rambling it’s not even funny)

[otter-chaos-violence]

Here some whump. its been drifting in my google docs for a while, but here

its part of a larger series but won't be on tumblr

---

I lay on my back, reading the book Doctor Harland had just given me. I liked it thus far.

He kneeled next to me, petting my stomach while he hooked me up to some kind of machine. I dropped the book, remembering the page number, and I found myself unable to move.

“It’ll be over in a minute,” he whispered. I didn’t respond as my brain went foggy and I closed my eyes.

He bashed me in the side of the face, and my eyes flew open. 

I stared at him, and he said, “Begin test number G-1-7-8-8,”

My muscles tensed and I went numb as something inserted itself in both sides of my neck and my muscles spasmed and I thrashed abou-

—

I came to with my muscles stiff.

“Test failed,” Doctor Harland remarked. “We need to deal with the epilepsy,”

He fastened an oxygen mask over my face and put an IV in my skin.

“We’ll feed you tonight, ‘kay? Just sleep off th-,”

Darkness.

—

I opened my eyes in my bed, and Doctor Harland entered a few minutes later.

“Sit up,” he ordered. I obeyed, and he handed me my book again.

“I’ll get you a treat for sitting quietly and letting us test our new device on you,”

I didn’t respond, immersed in the book’s world. It was about a girl who discovered she was the daughter of King Oberon from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Doctor Harland said he would get me the rest of the series after giving me a modern translation of the play so I could better understand it.

He held out something that smelled sweet and I took it, then ate it, my tail wagging happily.

He pet my head and I purred.

“One-two-seven-three, any strange feelings?” He asked.

“No,” I chirped. 

“Good. Good. Nausea? Tiredness? Breathing normally?”

He checked my heart rate and breathing for any abnormalities.

“Normal. Okay. Darling little test subject, we’re going to try and treat the illness that made this test fail. We’re going to cure it,”

“What illness?” I asked.

“You- have a reaction to certain things, and it causes you to stop existing for a minute, meaning we can’t do certain tests. We try to treat it and you don’t respond to medications, so we need to cut it out,”

I felt something cold on my wrist and whimpered, “No, not again, don’t look at my brain- please!”

“What? No. The procedure requires you to be awake or you’ll die, we’ve already tested it, and it’s painful. We’d give you painkillers, but that’s unsafe until after,”

I shuddered and hissed when he brought his hand to my tail. I tried to bite him as he tied it under the bed and shackled my other three wrists and my ankles to the bed.

“Please! NO!”

“It’ll all be over soon,”

He called for Doctor Fletcher and Doctor Amatris. Doctor Amatris held my chest down and Doctor Fletcher attached electrodes to my skull, and I felt like I exploded a few minutes later. I shrieked and thrashed around, when I heard something snap.

“Oh shit!” Doctor Amatris shouted.

I felt the pain dull a bit, and Doctor Harland whispered, “Its over, you’re going to have morphine tablets now,”

“Okay,” I mumbled before changing form to my more human self and laying back, my forehead caked with sweat. They undid the shackles, and Doctor Amatris took my hand in hers and the trio set my leg in a splint. 

I cried out and whimpered, “Hurts,” when Doctor Fletcher shoved a capsule into my mouth and held my lips shut until I swallowed, then gave me water.

I rolled to my side and shivered, still in deep pain. I started crying and Doctor Harland sat me up and started hand feeding me between each sob. It was cold, barely seasoned chicken, like always.

When I was done, I dove under the bed, where it was calmest, no one trying to talk to me, even though it was dark.

“One-two-seven-three, don’t be like that,” Doctor Fletcher said. “Do you want to undo all the progress in training out that habit?”

I hissed at him and swatted at his ankles, then curled into a ball and continued crying into my fur.

Doctor Amatris kneeled in front of me and held out her hand. I didn’t take it. She very gently petted the fluff on my neck, and I continued sobbing, though it made me feel a bit better.

“It’s okay,” she whispered. “The pain’s over now,”

She very slowly pulled me out, as though acclimating a fish from one tank to another. At one point I had a couple fish and a snail, and in a rage, Doctor Harland smashed the tank, killing all three of them. I cried for weeks after that, as at that point, I’d been taking care of them for four years.

“There, how do you feel?”

“Hurts,” I croaked, my voice raw. It felt like the color red to speak.

She lifted me and set me back on the bed, tucked me in like a mother would her child, and kissed me on where my forehead would be, and when she left, Doctor Harland inserted an IV into my skin. She wasn’t allowed to see it, for some reason, I wasn’t even sure if she knew.

I closed my eyes and let sleep take me.

—

What was supposed to be a dreamless sleep became a nightmare, one where I was playing with a child, and we were about the same height. It was all flashing lights and pain and fear when someone grabbed me, and-

I woke up, screaming for someone whose name I didn’t remember. The IV had broken.

I took off my oxygen mask and sobbed in the dark. Normally Doctor Harland stayed to make sure I felt safe at night, it was too dark for me. I wished I had control of my lights, but past lights-out, they couldn’t be turned on unless Doctor Harland or someone else swiped a keycard.

I heard rapid footsteps, and a woman in a dark blue uniform with a thick black stick and a big spiky club opened the door, then said into a strange black box, “False alarm. One of them woke up, over,”

A garbled voice came from the box, “How?”

“Its IV looks broken,”

“Which one?”

She stepped back and looked at the sign that said my room number with a beam of light that came from a black stick. 

I ran over and took the lightstick after a bit of back and forth, then clicked the button on and off as she said, “It just took my flashlight,”

I called, “Room 5-6-6 B!” and went back to playing with the ‘flashlight’, then grabbed my book and started reading with the concentrated beam of light.

The woman repeated the room number I gave her and said, “I’m gonna need back-up to get it back into bed, its strong,”

I got under my bed and continued reading, until someone else in a dark blue uniform grabbed me and bashed me with a spike on their club. I dropped the ‘flashlight’ and-

-

I came to with my upper wrists shackled to my bed’s headboard and my entire body numb.

“Okay, so, two hundred million watts can cause seizures. Duly noted,” the one who’d hit me with the spike muttered.

“Seizure? Watt?” I parroted, trying to get feeling back in my tongue. “Why’d you do that?”

“Holy shit it talks,” the woman said. 

“Yes I talk, why wouldn’t I talk? Also, I’m not an it, I’m- I’m a girl,”

“Someone get one of the night shift doctors,” the woman ordered. Another person left the room.

“It’s dark!” I complained.

The woman groaned and said, “Deal with it, how old are you, seven, eight?”

“Thirteen, fourteen in four months and two days,”

“How are you that old? Why haven’t you committed suicide yet?” the man asked.

“Suicide?” I’d parroted. I knew what it met at a base level, but in books they always said it in association with a stupid battle plan. 

“You know, killing yo-”

“I know what it means, I just thought it only went with wars?”

“What?”

“In books,” I chirped. I motioned to one that said it, then said the page number.

“Oh-kaaay, you can read,”

“Isn’t that normal? Well except illiteracy rates in fantasy places, but isn’t it normal now?”

The man who’d left returned with Doctor Amatris.

“One-two-seven-three, what’s wrong?” she asked.

“I had a nightmare,” I replied.

“Come here,”

“I can’t,”

She took a key from one of the security guards and unlocked my manacles, then lifted me into her arms, though it was much more awkward than when I was little, considering I was about as big as her now.

I laid my chin on her shoulder, and she carried me away, off to another room, this one with more light.

“We oughta get you a nightlight,”

“Nightlight?” I parroted. “What’s that?”

“Its a little light that plugs into a wall and makes the room brighter,”

She unhooked a little square that glowed blue until it exited the wall, “Normally they come in fun shapes, but until I go shopping tomorrow, we can use this one. I’ll get a bunch of them and let you pick them out, okay?”

“Okay,” I chirped.

She carried me back to my room and lay me on my bed, and I grabbed her arm and whimpered, “Don’t go. Don’t leave me alone,”

“I have to go back to work,”

“I’m scared,” I whimpered. 

She turned back around and fastened my oxygen mask on my mouth and nose.

“You’ll be fine. And if you wake up again, I’ll come back and keep you company ‘til you fall asleep again. Now close your eyes, goodnight, don’t let the bed bugs bite,”

“What’s a bed bug?”

“You don’t want to know,”

She shuddered and tucked me in, then kneeled next to me and rubbed my forehead to calm me. But sleep would be a long time coming. I didn’t fall asleep until all the lights turned back on.

[empyreasheart]

I RETURN WITH MORE QUESTIONS. and one topic on my mind. xion xion xion xion xion xion XION shes so interesting and your hcs are always so good do you have any about her or the sea salt trio in general. i miss them so much (also i know you have work to do sorry if this is a distraction from it!! feel free to leave this ask for later)

IM FREEE WHICH MEANSSS I CAN TALK ABOUT MY DEAR DEAR XION!!!! no joke i have been thinking about her all day.

first off i LOVEEE xion so much. whenever i see her get attention and love im so happy. when i see her i have a habit of going "XIONNNN" super loudly.

im putting this under a read more cuz its gotten super long oops

my xion headcanons... well first of all i love every reading of her character as a trans allegory & how people intepret her as either trans or nonbinary! i dont think it was done on purpose but shes been claimed by the commjnity and im so happy about it. transfem xion my beloved. second of all shes autistic TO ME but honestly everyone in soras heart hotel is so thats a given. third of all give me xion with big dark brown eyes or give me death!

what id like to see explored in future games / i fanwork: her identity! we see roxas's frustration and anger about being his own person plenty but we hardly see xion upset at her predicament. i think this is because she wants to do the right thing, not because shes okay with the situation. i really want to see xion's feelings about not having her own identity explored, given that everything about her is based on either sora or his memories of kairi and she was basically created in a lab as a tool for organization 13. she should feel weird about existing in the first place, especially next to roxas and naminé, who dont have the same history behind their creation

in addendum to that, i want to see xions character design change to something more unique. she already has a new outfit, but id love to see her have a new hairstyle (whether she grows it out or just puts it up) so she has something different than a mirror of kh1 kairi's hair. i think ive also mentioned that i think itd be interesting if xion had her own eye color after kh3 (side note its bullshit we never got to see her norted eyes in kh3. she shouldve played a bigger role in the story too but thats another rant) to symbolize that shes her own person now, not a puppet meant to copy sora. lastly she !!! deserves !!! her own keyblade!!! there's so many cool keyblades from days to choose from & theres the weapons from her boss fight - theres no reason for her to still be using the kingdom key and i really hope she gets her own soon.

i keep thinking about what you said about xion not being another "nice" girl character and im like... so true. i dont think xion would be mean i want to go about it in a way that doesnt completely rewrite her character but i think exploring how she copes with her past w/ both organizations & her identity & trauma would be interesting, especially with how it parallels to naminé's own way of coping and dealing with her own trauma. theyre like Shy vs introverted to me lmfao i think xion tries to be friendly but overall she prefers to stay close to the people she feels safe around. i want to see xion be rude but in the autism way where she doesnt mean it shes just not aware. and stuff like that i guess. this paragraph was just word vomit my bad

THE SEA SALT TRIO... theyre seriously the family of all time i love them so much. ill just focus on xion here because this is already super long. BUT AXEL LOVES XION SO MUCH IT MAKES ME SICK THEYRE NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH.. the implication that lea subconsciously keeps his coat on in kh3 so xion (and roxas) can recognize him makes me so emotional. also the fact that lea just clicks with kairi because she also holds a part of xion inside her... AND WHEN HE BUYS HER AN ICE CREAM AND HE DOESNT EVEN REMEMBER WHY HES BUYING THREE. UGH. i love them so much. theyre definitely one of those duos found in the trios that dont get much attention which just draws me towards them more (like riku and kairi). i think lea is absolutely riddled with guilt about the events of days so he never lets xion forget that shes loved. i think xion is touch-averse *except* when it comes to roxas and lea because she feels safest around them.❤️

to end i will discuss roxas and xion . they are like a little orange cat and a little black cat to me. halloween colored. theyre so small i love them so much. i imagine when xion first meets the twilight town gang shes jealous bc roxas has other friends :( but roxas assures her shes super duper special to him and no one else can take her place in his life. they have such a unique bond that i dont know if any of the other characters have with each other. just something so special about those two. when it feels like no one else understands they have each other... and i think that makes for some angst when xion struggles with her own issues that even roxas cant relate to

6, 8, and 15 for the female characters ask? 🤔

omg hi snow! 👋💜 this got kind of long so um. sorry lol

6. A female character who got done dirty by the narrative?

leaving my fire emblem bubble for a second to say la signora genshin impact. not on my hyv side but like. i was one of the signora death copers. sue me. but it’s like… she had one of the sickest entrances in the entire game. kicking a god to the ground and then stealing his gnosis? and looking good while doing it?! and then the lore with her old lover and how she became the crimson witch, it was all so gut wrenching and could lead into such an interesting path for her character, along with exploring her devotion to the tsaritsa and then— huh? what do you mean she had the most anticlimatic death where she just disintegrates into ashes and we forget about her. what are you talking about. what about the lore. the rest of her character. does she at least get to be playable so we can go into her voice lines and story? no? hello? what the fuck???? like i wouldnt be mad if she died in a way that respected her character but this was just… ugh.

8. A minor female character you love anyways?

do ace attorney defendants count as minor characters… bc i have so much love in my heart for my girl vera misham aa4. she is so everything to me. yes she did spend a large chunk of the case passed out in a hospital bed. so what. also faye and genny from fire emblem echoes, my main staff girls who did NOT deserve to get sidelined like that (especially you faye… god…)

15. Female character you would defend with your life?

There’s so many but on mind recently it’s been severa fire emblem. which like on my curated tumblr bubble who loves anything and everything awakening trio related i dont see much hate for her, but stepping outside of this? oh my god. “shes just a bitch with mommy issues” is a sentiment ive seen repeated by a LOT of the fanbase and it is so reductive to her character. like. yes shes mean. yes she has issues with her parents? i could say that about gerome? i could say that about inigo? but it doesnt count with them does it? wonder why… and its just. i dont know. yeah shes kind of an asshole but you could ignore a lot of characters other traits and background to reduce them down to just “asshole.” what if i went around saying felix hugo fraldarius’s only trait was being a tsundere hater and he had no more substance to him? ugh. severa fire emblem get behind me i never wanna hear a man’s opinion on her ever again.

[cielospeaks]

game stuff (compiled. and no its not positive lol)

-go:

bruh a real one step forward five million steps back moment fr. we had samurai remnant (fun and enjoyable crossover event. only downside is only now i find out robot mozart and yui have the same voice actor and i aquiesced to not rolling her bc she wouldnt come home and now i am full of regret. tho to be fair robot mozart happened long after the event lol), valentines (awesome new servant! andromeda is cute and i feel completely neutral but not negative on the take on her character! charon was cool too), and white day (usually i am so irritated at the cut ins but charly is so good natured and honest i cant be mad at him. he just feels like the good energetic boy coming in to check on you every morning. and cyrano is just so peak -pacha meme- the rest of the cast was wonderful too). but then. oh then. you had to just fucking do main story stuff. like yea sure some cringily fanservice power level edge thing with d antes and j alter is inevitable and whatever. but bring sal into it??????? only to not give him fucking anything????? and then permanently delete him, lobo, and any other half tolerable avenger (angra ig. or kuroe?) bc the edgey op fanservice characters need their wangst. ugh. the plot isnt even out but i imagine its something like- sal is typecast into himself and hates every second of it, moz bullies him bc its moz and the feeling is mutual, but evil marie takes advantage of it and him and the fandom reads it as cute. same w d antes or j alter and him. im so done w their reaction to the trio it makes me just disgusted. if the two of them treated him better id be more on board but they dont. just bc sal believes theyre on the same wavelength doesnt mean its some cute fluffy nonsense you can just slice of life. i think it cuts personal bc ive believed to be on the same wavelength of others and thats why im so fucked up today is bc of what happened there. and above all i dont want sal to have to go through that sort of suffering, esp on top of all his other suffering.

also if i had a nickel for every time a fictional somewhat m arie a ntoinette has ruined the life of my favorite dead composer character i would have two nickles which is weird that it happened twice.

speaking of which

-dv:

this is the positives girls. antonio traumerei!!!!!! love love love. oh my gosh. it looks beautiful and antonio is beautiful. traumerei is such a good fit for him, it reminds me of the schumann song which reminds me of jack and rikudou. good vibes infinite immaculate vibes.

ricky seems to not be dead. i am so hoping hes secretly a ghost. like imagine if hes in the like reconstructed research vessel and then at the end is like "lol im not exactly alive lol" like that poke mon episode. i would lose it. tho if hes like cursed or something it makes me think of that kingdom hearts scene which i also find really funny.

mystery maid: aztec treasure eh

ghost sail ricky: aye

but all memes aside i hope he exclusively talks to inference or violetta bc they are easily the characters i can stand the most of the confirmed cast. i will get so disappointed if its just rehashed main story plot, esp bc i really dont like their interactions there. and violeta is so cute in this pls let them interact.

my mad t party lgbt hcs explained

very messy post below! some are genuine reasonings and others are just "yeah haha trust me bro"

tarrant: bisexual & nonbinary

i mean for all the bi characters the hc is pretty self explanatory, i mean look at them yknow. hes a little too fruity with mally and thackery 🤨 but tarrant and alice are literally bi4bi couple of all time as for the nonbinary hc, i dont know! id like to know if anyone else sees him this way or if its just me :) hes just got too much enby swag 

alice: bisexual & trans

its all spiderwebs fault!!!!!!! it made her gay!!!!!!!!! /j but seriously, kissing ladypillar and different numbers such ho hey (you know how every now and then theyll switch alice standing with mally to someone else like thackery or absolem, the few times she did it with ladypillar are so funny because they cant rhyme the pronouns 😭). also ik this sounds silly but i really appreciate that in the mtp shows once ladypillar was added they didnt stop doing spiderwebs or change it to be like “haha were both girls 😵‍💫blehh this is so weird 😂”/play it off as a joke or anything because they very easily could have done that. shes trans. i already made that post with her and mally but again, if shes not trans then why is her color palette blue and pink? checkmate liberals. 

thackery: bisexual & bigender

yeah hes bi i dont know what else to say he and mally are in love frfr i actually just completely made up bigender. made it up, i dont know where i got it from i just remember early february drawing mad t party on my laptop and suddenly thinking “bigender thackery” and its stuck with me since then. (the two genders i hc him with are male/female though so) i wouldnt say he feels just one or the other, he feels both at the same time

mally: bisexual & trans

he is top ten bisexuals of all time,, whenever they do the pretender and tarrant and alice stand on either side of him and take turns singing he is DYING. passing away HE IS TRANSGENDER!!!!!!! we all know it. instead of coming out as trans he made up some crazy story about being killed in a war and then coming back as a man 🙄/j hes just dramatic like that

chessur: gay & trans

haha this is mostly because of @thatrandomartistjavi's hcs xd chessur is special in the sense that hes the only mtp character that never really gets a chance to flirt with anyone else since hes always hiding behind that drumset. from what ive seen he was shipped with dinah a lot, presumably just cuz theyre both cats since they rarely interact, so ive never really understood it :p i usually hc cheshire cats as nonbinary/something under that umbrella but this guy gives me transgender vibes. idk

absolem/ladypillar(? dont know if she ever got a real name): lesbian & trans

shes very much a lesbian. just. just like yeah. i think the most prominent character that she flirts with (other than alice) is mally. from what ive seen it only really happens when its el dormouse on stage but before i started seeing that i always saw mally/absolem/thackery as like, a trio. i mean obviously everyone in the band are friends, but idk. i have lots of drawings of those three hanging out so maybe thats just something my delusional brain has completely made up. but anyway the point is i dont ship those two and i sort of see them with a more sibling dynamic. mally always holds her back when shes trying to touch the little castle music box thing, at the end of sets he’ll pull her antennae to take her off stage/she'll pull him by his scarf, etc. (also theres a clip where she kisses him on the cheek and as they begin to walk off stage she turns to the crowd and mouths “no” and does the throat slitting gesture thing which makes me think theyre sorta just playing around :p)

sooo in a post a while back i said i hc her as genderfluid but ive changed my mind?? actually before i made that post i headcanoned her as trans but then switched to genderfluid and now ive uhh changed my mind again. im very indecisive like that and very easily swayed on my opinions haha,,, @ticktockteapot's metaphor for her “becoming the beautiful butterfly she was always meant to be” is very nice i like it lots. also the fact that ladypillar has a much higher stage presence than absolem (obviously not including the spiderwebs number…or crazypillar) was always so sweet to me cuz like,,,aw shes finally more comfortable being herself and performing :’)

tl;dr none of them are straight none of them are cis. happy pride month and thank you for coming to my TED talk

[puppysdog]

I know nothing of your OCs tell me about them

ive got way too many so im gonna talk about the final girls ocs i have from my horror movies !

first is Áine from Goldberg. shes one of my favorites since shes the first final girl i came up with. she was really fun to make bc i realized i didnt have any “weird girl” ocs which was a tragedy. college aged, lived with her bestfriend izzy (pre death) and her two closest friends after. shes got copper curly hair (like the irish actress jade jordan), big brown eyes and glasses, and the same set of five tshirts and cargo pants from high school. shes super into horror movies and murder mysteries, and is over confident in her abilities which continuously puts her in dangerous situations, but also helps her get out of them. she ends up with the killer at the end of the movie which i think was a fun turn on the final girl trope

for the movie The Summoning in the Forest (title in progress still) both Alex and Ranger Butch Ryder are the final girls. ive always been a big fan of unwilling mentor/younger character with no family left type tropes so i thought what better way to do so than with a butch lesbian and a just-came-out-two-months-ago 17yr old. Alex loses her sister during a ritual summoning to try to being back their parents, and accidentally unleashes a demon in the forest. Fire Ranger Butch Ryder and her dog Sapphie live out in a near by fire tower for the season, and end up taking Alex in while trying to stop this demon from setting her entire forest on fire. I havent worked on the script for that one yet, but i want to focus on Ryder’s butch aspects and show them as desirable and hot. I also think Alex and Ryder being able to bond through their sexuality is a great way to steamroll through two strangers wouldnt work together bc two lesbians stuck in a horror situation would no doubt team up

Dakota is the final girl for Haunted House and oh boy shes gotta be my second favorite. British, fat, shaved head, dyke, 80s type punk chav vibe, hot headed, literally everything to me. She ends up inheriting a house from a family member shes barely heard of, and being a broke mid twenties yr old she immediately is on board. the house has a minor staff run by Ms. Adeline Falls so Dakota doesnt even have to do anything but play head of the house and follow the rules. Except shes really bad at following rules, and the house hates her. cue movie horror montage of a haunted house trying its best to kick the most stubborn girl out. i think this one will have more of a crimson peak/bly manor type vibe than anything? gothic semi tragedy horror is the feel i want to go for. also she basically ends up getting with the house at the end, so theres that

My last final girls are Belle and Julia from Sleep Over (title also in progress) i hesitate to call Julia a final girl since shes the antagonist, but she does end up alive at the end with Belle so ig she counts. very horror comedy with an over the top weird girl, Belle. Belle is absolutely obsessed with horror and the macabre, extending to serial killers and such. she has an entire room dedicated to horror props and set pieces, and she’s extremely elitist about her opinions on the genres. shes very much like May from the movie May, super awkward but much more outgoing with it. Julia and her crew are the new up and coming serial killers of the city, and decide Belle is gonna be their next target. Belle, already unhappy with the groups work and considering a shame to true serial killers, turns her house into a deadly home alone mixed with saw style death trap, and the serial killer trio slowly realize theyre the ones trapped in the house. I really want to give Julia and her crew popular mean girl type vibes. Like hair done poofy, cherry earrings, gold rings, lots of matching pinks, etc. Her and Belle dont end up together or anything but they do get the same life sentence, and the movie ends with what looks like them breaking out together

and thats my girls <3

hii !!!

just got done reading the new SITH chapter & RAHHH CORDELIA IVE MISSED HER SMMM she’s exactly what the mc needs rn, a nice breath of fresh air & someone she can talk to even tho cordelia won’t understand much of her trauma like colt & friedrich can. nonetheless, cordelia is that female best friend that the mc needs :)) even tho she’s got her boys who will do anything for her & will listen to her talk abt anything, i definitely think she could use some girl time & a break from all the war talk. i’m already loving their friendship :))

i loved the understanding between the mc & marek. them being able to understand the brutality of the war & realizing they’re more alike than they thought at first glance makes that entire scene all the more heart wrenching. through their faults & trauma, they see each other as ppl who have been hurt by war & see beauty in each other despite heinous war crimes & irreversible burn scars. truly a beautifully written scene!!

& even tho there was a lack of canon characters this chapter, i still loved it!! the trio got their much needed break before they’re thrown back into more emotional, mental, & physical trauma. i’ve probably said this before lmfao, but i just love the trio’s dynamic sm & they mean the world to me <33 despite everything they go through, they’ll have each other & that’s just smth so dear to me.

i hope ur doing well & having a great week so far! mine has been pain filled due to starting volleyball practice & not having used my leg muscles in awhile haha. it’s been a bit hard for me to walk, much less run, so i’ve been taking it easy & going slow to build up my muscles again lmao! even if my legs feel like they’re falling off, i’ll push through! 🥲

— 🪐

HIII!! you’re so right honestly cordelia is so sweet and normal y/n really needs someone like that in her life to like balance out how traumatic every other facet of her existence is now 😭 and of course colt and friedrich care about her so much but lowkey she needs a friend who isn’t in love with her if that makes sense 😫

the mc and marek scene was honestly a spur of the moment decision!! the reason this chapter took so long was because i kept rewriting it and not liking how it was turning out. in the earliest drafts the mc’s depression had actually spiraled to the point that general magath straight up had to intervene because it counted as “destruction of marleyan property” 😨 also marek was such a jerk originally i’m going to be honest 💀 but i settled on this instead and ended up really liking it so i’m glad you do too!! and that’s what i was hoping would come across for them…while yes the mc is notorious for pulling guys left and right, marek wasn’t really supposed to be an example of that. it was a complicated scene to pull off so it’s good to hear you think I did so successfully 🤞🏻

there’s about five more chapters of a “break” in the sense that we’re not quite back to straight trauma yet but at the same time, the events of those chapters are…events?? like there are things going on, characters being introduced, dynamics shifting, etc etc. it’s less focused on the mc’s internal struggle and more on the relationships between several different characters which I think will be interesting!! although the trio won’t be together quite as much in the next mini-arc, the ones after that will provide plenty of them together so it shouldn’t be too long before they’re back in action

my week has been alright!! i live in the USA so we had the time switch last week and honestly my body has not adjusted yet which means the mornings have been awful recently 😭 good luck with volleyball!! I know the feeling of being out of condition it sucks sm 🙁 listen to your body and don’t push yourself too too hard!! it’s important to relax too.

hi friends^_^ this app has embarrassed me 2 times today i hate my life

drinking my appy juice...... sigh.... ok so life update im blonde now and drawing traditionally again! .. exciting ! oh what a year this will be what a year indeed but i still have so many shuake bungles all up in my head and i was rly thinking abt their transness and stuff as of late i finally re-did my pinterest and made it based on headcanoned character aesthetics and UGH goro akechi the beautiful transfemme u are so ive been thinking abt that a lot recently ALSO i watched mean girls ! what fun, i LOVED the movie the musical... not so much but i saw regina and js the main trio and was like !!!! akechi would love this... like in secret lol so ill be using that and specifically regina and cady as reference?? eherh lol

i love thinking abt his transness bc i didnt rly have like a set line-of-thought on what i was thinking at the time like last yr when i got more seriously into shuake and js the game in general but ive cleared my head on them a lot more now, i think watching mean girls and just being thrown back into that "girly pink" aesthetic of the early 00s its like making that pinterest board and thinking about all that encompassed the "girly" aesthetic in 2014 and the time in which akechi wouldve grown up in and all the standards that come with it, its interesting to place him into that and just think about it. its like with akira too, its interesting to imagine what they wouldve imagined as their "ideal versions" of themselves like what is prime masculinity and femininity to them, if that makes any sense. i envision and feel like what fits with akechi's character the most in terms of how he would express his transfemininity would be like that 2014 tumblr girly aesthetic and im rly horrible at describing things so lemme attach some pictures :0

ok so i did a general overview video of it instead lol and i hope i didnt add anything that could potentially trigger anyone i tried to add some not-so-nice things (lmao) to the board bc i wanted the boards to be as cringe and realistic as possible lmao (i emphasized that especially with sumire ToT) again, i think its rly interesting to see these aesthetics like how they wouldve seen it or how they wouldve wanted and envisioned for themselves. i dont think akechi wouldve been open to this with anyone at all, he definitely wouldve had like an anon tumblr page and only wouldve logged on on super extra not busy days and it wouldve felt almost like a guilty pleasure for him, like being super embarrassed and always freaking out thinking someone was watching him lol ToT and i think even with anything and everything, the things he wouldve seen online that he wanted to be.. very badly still wouldve been reflected in the way he dressed and presented himself and i think sae and everyone else wouldve gave him weird looks for it definitely wfhufew its like for example i like to draw his little brown suit thingy with little flaps and i think he wouldve done that himself to give a more "flattering" feminine look to it, thinking he was being subtle abt it even tho... it definitely gives the look lol ToT and just so many things, i think his internalized transphobia would even affect his connection with akira too and just like even the way he interacts with others and himself and not in the usual way if that makes sense.

its like how i mentioned earlier, i watched mean girls and i saw regina and was like omg akechi would DIE for her but at the same time, i dont think he would like her as a character at all ToT he's very much the cady to me like that scene where cady was like "i didnt do anything wahh!!!" reminds me sm of him and how he was and i think so much of his personality wouldve been affected by that as i stated before due to the way femininity is perceived by like, everyone and everything ever omg. like he would definitely have that view that femininity is almost like oversexualization especially since they wouldve grown up at a time where the whole girlboss troupe in media was making its debut but at the same time, he'd have this burning passion for how "girls can be strong too!!!" its kinda like all those skit videos ppl would make where the parents are like "why are u defending gay ppl sm" like hopefully that makes sense lol but i think thats how itd feel to him and ultimately it'd just lead to him closely it off completely from himself. like for example, he'd see how free akira is to express himself in like all ways and be like "wow.. so uncivilized" lol even though canonly he envies him for being so much free about things and not constantly holding himself back like akechi did. ofc not in the trans aspect but u get the point lol so again, he would kind of be like the cady. cady was so scared of becoming like regina and she tried so hard, literally became a pick me and in the end, she was just like what she feared? same thing with akechi but reverse. he wouldnt stand with regina's character and motives/morals at all but would ADORE the way the plastics like dress and all that, especially with how much the actors SERVED in mean girls, the confidence is certainly admirable but would get embarrassed aside from being a man who expresses femininely and thats already an automatic no from society it also is viewed that the more feminine a woman is the less they are taken seriously and even from someone who has struggled with that myself, he would alr be like against being more feminine thinking that those thoughts he has are js negative or intrusive when in reality those things are FAR from synonymous

ok i feel like im repeating myself here and i had rly good points to bring up when i thought of this the other day but i hope yall understand what i mean!! this is such an important topic to me cuz i fucking LOVE trans ppl and always will and i LOVE transfemme characters and just dealing with that storyline, although im not femme presenting myself necessarily by choice but i love it sm and diving deeper into it is so fun to me and very healing, especially for my little girl lol. i think it fits rly well with his character and it js automatically made sense to me even if most ppl see that as "dumbing down" a character, i love connecting that to all the other serious bits of his story and i think headcanons as a whole give sm depth to a character and so much personal special love lol

ok i got sick ig and my throat is bothering me SO BAD like if it isnt my head my back ITS SOMETHING ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING maybe some other time ill get into akira and naoto and their transmascness like i had hoped but i think the world is telling me to hit the hay :'( ugh i hate my life... god bless u t4t shuake erbheu

[needlefail]

over a month later and im just now getting to this SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVERRRR ANONNNN </333333 I literally made the images as soon as I got the ask and just,,, never got around to writing them out </3 Sorry again

GONNA START WITH TONY FIRST :33

ANYWAYS HES JUST A LITTLE GUY TO ME (literally but also,,, you know what i mean)

Ill admit he annoyed me a bit at first though that was when I was younger and first watching the show, since my rewatch Ive honestly grown a bit fond of him

I think I mighhhttt?? have said this ok my Boris post but I do wish we had seen more of just Tony and Boris outside of the whole Forest Scout thing or at least AWAY from jason if that makes sense?? Like some time for them to shine on their own because honestly,,,,, we know literally nothing about Tony��� like at all

I did stamp the “works better as part of a dynamic” tho because I do like how he interacts with the other two forest scouts and Kelsey as well cause theyre funny, its like the only times we get to see him with personality and stuff

IDK HES JUST A GUY AND I LOVE HIM AND EVERYONE SUPPORT PINK ARSONISTS CAT TONY BELIEF CAUSE ITS TRUE ✊

ON TO STACKS NEOWWW

SHES SO SO CUTE I LOVE HER SO MUCHH

SHES SO ENDEARING AND ORUGHHHH

I really love how she came out of her shell more throughout the show even if its not exactly explicitly mentioned, like I remember at the start of the show (or at least i swear remembering it happening in The Final Book) she’d try mimicking bits that Kelsey would do before immediately getting shy about it then by the end she’s opened up to kids outside of Kelsey and the stump trio more and orughh ORUGHHHH

Honestly I wish we got to see more of her especially Fire and Ice because Ice’s design was so GORGEOUS I LOVE HER STAFF ESPECIALLY

NOW MY GIRL WILDERNESSAAAAAA

right off the bat starting with this THIS GIRL HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG I DOMT CAREEEEEE SOME PEOPLE ARE ANNOYED AT HER AND YALL NEED TO LAY OFF HERRR IDC IF SHES A LITTLE RUDE SOMETIMES

Shes awesome I love the whole concept behind her and the MOMENTTT I watched her episode she was instantly one of my favs <3333 Also cheesesticks was always fun to see too cause I love Tibetan Mastiffs so much

ANYWAYS I JUST LOVE WILDERNESSA’S WHOLE THING WITH NATURE, IT WAS SUPER CHARMING AND HONESTLY I think her whole “you dont know anything about nature 🙄” thing with Craig was funny

Alot of the time when people talk about her its usually in relation to Craig in some way especially after Breaking the Ice, but honestly she’s so interesting on her own too. Like this is a girl whose been picked on and bullied by other kids for coming off as strange and weird and because of it, she found comfort in something that embraces her wildness rather than mocks it, which is nature. She has very limited interactions with other kids, instead surrounding herself with animals, hence her sometimes being blunt and rude with others as she doesn’t know how to properly articulate herself in social interactions with others which probably starts the whole cycle again of Wildernessa being isolated by others for coming off too strongly and her digging herself deeper into this “people are awful nature is better.” Its really no wonder she’s dedicated herself to looking out for the creek and its animals because its genuinely the only place she has where she feels accepted in, where she feels any comfort. Or whatever whatever

WHATEVER

IDK SHES JUST A GIRL AND SOMETIMES I GET SAD ABOUT HER

Either that or I just sound crazy

Anyways,,, the bingo is still open for characters!! Send in asks comments reblogs whatever and Ill try to get to it!!!

Someone send in some cotc characters and Ill give my opinions

(All responses are in rbs :3!! You can send in requests via comments reblogs or asks!!)

[fruit-salad-ship]

Ive binged so much brainrot (also normal stuff, congrats on the new site release!) This may have already been done, but: world where the trio were born rotated? Ie grey's born in peach's rough situation, peach is born into the stuffy riches and aloof family, plum gets grey's comparitively standard childhood

oof, the tough job of imagining what Grey would do with the same childhood Peach had.

So I guess step by step here:

Grey grew up being pushed to do things no child should have to do, it made him tough, it made him harsh, but under no circumstance was he ever going to take over the family business, male heirs did not happen, and seeing as the other cousins were boys too, he was pushed aside, in favour of his younger sister, born a year after him, another try for a girl. Her appearance brought out the worst in him, he was palmed off on staff and forgotten with the other two cousins, given tasks and work to keep him busy and out of the adults hair, all the while watching his sister get the attention he thought he deserved too. The boys bond, perhaps even plot in their older ages to overthrow the women in charge, but are always too afraid to try, its a harsh life but they've got it good, everything their twisted little hearts desire, so why mess with that? Grey can go off and start fights, his size and power means he's gained a reputation, rivalled only by the older cousin, who hit the gym to keep up with him, they compete a lot because of this. Together they keep staff in line, deals go smoothly, and pokemon bend the knee to them. They endlessly pick on the 3rd cousin, small and lanky in comparison, the youngest, an easy target. Grey does not find joy in things, he is not an inventor, not calm or collected, he was pushed too hard, and it made him cold. Plum instead of her elitist life comes from more humble beginnings, a huge loving family all piled into one big home, they laugh and joke together, theres a distinct change in her habits, she's happier, she feels less on the spot, like she doesn't have to perform, to be perfect. Her family dote on her, she's a middle child, not responsible enough to be in charge, not young enough to need help, just happy medium. The support and human connection she gains makes her life an open book, she travels and mixes with a lot of people, and puts out a very cheery disposition, able to adjust to situations and different folks from all walks of life. Her people skills are exceptional, others let their guards down around her. She may not have the money, nor the power, she doesn't get to do things in first class, or mess with the finer things in life, but she finds joy in new things, simpler things. Her friends are her world, she visits home often, and radiates warmth, a sweet disposition. Her passion to protect the ones she loves drives her hard, she's never had any trauma or neglect, so when bad things happens she can crumble a bit, not being prepared for it as much. Goes down the Pokemon Breeder route, really good with eggs and youngsters, seeing as she's got so many brothers and sisters, naturally adept at handling that energy.

Peach is an elitist asshole, growing up with money, praise, too many options, and not enough rules, she's been off the leash since as long as she can remember, took up several hobbies, spent countless hours indulging in things like Polo and fencing, loves to hang out at the golf club or by the pool. Her attitude is painfully 'better than you' at every turn, but she lacks any sense of humility. Her pokemon are papered beyond belief, making them fussy and difficult. She has no need to fight and so never got buff, no need to be anything more than the typical ideal daughter, which she does when she can be bothered. She is probably the most sheltered of the three, and gets a little overwhelmed in situations that are unfamiliar to her. Quick tempered still but its more annoying, less for good reason. She's basically awful! Theres a lack of authority in her life, so when having to follow rules, she fails quite spectacularly, and doesn't care either. Very two faced. Lonely.

none of their pokemon would be the same, none of their hobbies or talents. Totally different people hah

Anime/Manga: Fire Force

Pairing: Sagamiya Konro x Shinmon Benimaru (M/M)

Rating: M for now but will likely shift to E for explicit sexual content as well as violence.

Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Smut, Violence, Getting Together, Mutual Pining, Light Angst, somewhat graphic depictions of injuries, ill probably update this as the story goes on!

Chapters 1/?? (I have a few written and will post more soon)

a/n: like i know,,,,fire force is a shounen so theres gonna be a lotta self inserts and self shipping fics,,,,,but its not what im particularly interested in so ive decided to take matters into my own hands. Benimaru and Konro were made for each other you cannot change my mind!! ALSO PLS NOTE IVE ONLY WATCHED THE ANIME!! but it doesn't really change much. theres no spoilers involved just beni and konro being all cute n shit

also, this is my first time writing fanfiction ever, and its my first time creative writing in a while, but im pretty happy with how its looking so far!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Konro stands by the entrance to the guardhouse, the epitome of patience. At first glance at least. Hika and Hina know better, and shoot him nervous glances between bites of their dinner. They see the tense lines of his shoulders, and the way he has not touched his food. They also see the slight tremor in his hands, but are kind enough not to make fun of him for it.

Benimaru has been away since sunrise, and the moon is now shining high above them. He was supposed to be visiting the 8th and briefly coordinating with their captain for an upcoming training session with their rookies. An hour later, Konro was informed that a large group of infernals had been spotted, and that Benimaru was assisting the 8th due to the magnitude of the damage being done. All in all, it was supposed to be a routine mission. Their captain should have been home by lunch.

The fact that he has been away for so much longer means something has gone wrong. The girls know Konro is worried sick about their captain, and in truth, they are just as scared. Logically, everyone knows that there is very little in this world that is even remotely a match for the man called “the strongest fire soldier”, but his absence is unsettling regardless.

“Hika, Hina, it’s time to go to bed.” Konro does not move from his spot. Neither do the twins. If he is being honest, Konro appreciates their company, but as their guardian of sorts, he feels obligated to be responsible. But the girls say nothing, and frankly Konro does not have the energy to push the subject. He grips his wrists tighter under his kimono. His burned shoulders ache from the strain of his tension, but he cannot bring himself to mind it.

Thankfully, the object of their concern appears in their field of view, a lone streak of flames growing rapidly larger, pushing the idea of sleep out of the trio’s minds.

They stand up straight, relief letting them breathe freely at last.

That is, until they get a closer look at Benimaru.

He grips the matoi gingerly, his right arm hanging loosely at its side. His face and robe are caked in dust and ash, with red-stained patches on his chest. The face that typically wears an apathetic expression is screwed up in what they can only assume is immense physical pain. Most distressing of all is the blood streaming down his neck, painting his shoulders a deep crimson.

The girls instantly shoot towards him, and twin balls of flame appear beside the larger streak, one going to support each side. As the girl on his right attempts to approach him however, she immediately backs off upon further examining the damage. Konro grimaces. The arm must look really bad.

Despite the commotion, they soon land in front of the guardhouse, and Konro rushes forward to help them. His stomach is in knots, and he pushes back the swirl of emotions that threaten to paralyse him. Now is not the time, not when Beni needs him to be strong.

“Beni-.” Konro is interrupted by Benimaru slumping forward, legs unable to support his weight. Immediately, Konro picks him up, one arm beneath his knees, the other under his back. Mindful of the clearly broken arm as well as the array of injuries, they walk towards the house, and upstairs into Konro’s room, as it is the most supplied for such an emergency.

“Hika, Hina, please go and get Suzume immediately. Tell them it’s Waka.” Suzume is a local medic who frequently treated injured members of Company 7. She is a strict older lady who has known Beni since he was a child. The girls depart, leaving Konro to his thoughts, alongside an unconscious Benimaru.

Beni needs you. The thought gives a small thrill, but is instantly quashed by a wave of self-loathing. He does not deserve to be happy, not now.

He places the injured man on the futon that was already prepared. Fear leaves him frozen, unsure of what to do next. Beni, oh gods, Beni. What if - no. Konro refuses to go there.

Konro is not a doctor, but at this moment he wishes he is.

Konro is not strong, but at this moment he needs to be. For Waka. For Beni.

He knows he has to move, start somewhere, do something, or else it might kill him. So he faces the man lying on the futon, red staining the white sheet, and begins to strip away the clothes that are concealing the extent of his injuries. He grabs clean towels, warm water, and disinfectant, and begins cleaning the injuries on his chest and stomach. When he goes to remove the sleeve on Benimaru’s right side, the young captain’s face tightens in his unconscious state.

Konro curses at himself for causing Benimaru more pain. He removes the sleeve the rest of the way and stares at the dislocated shoulder. At the wrist that rests at an unnatural angle. At the arms covered in cuts and cruises. At the cleaned torso, bruised almost beyond recognition.

A grunt.

“You’re crying.”

Konro starts. He had been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he hadn’t noticed the captain waking up. Stupid. How dare he turn his attention away from Benimaru. How dare he focus on his own feelings when Beni is in pain.

Konro touches his own face and feels the wetness there. He doesn’t trust himself to speak, so he turns his attention back to his captain’s injuries, doing what he can before the medic arrives. He again finds himself wishing that he wasn't so weak, so useless.

He shakes his head to remove those thoughts from his mind. He has no right to self pity.

A cold hand weakly grips his wrist, and Konro pauses.

“Konro.”

Konro resumes his cleaning of the wounds on Benimaru’s arm, gentle, ever so mindful of the shoulder. He can’t bring himself to look him in the eye, not after he failed to protect his captain.

“Konro,” Benimaru croaks again, firmer this time, “ ‘m fine, don’t worry ‘bout me.”

The young man can barely form words. Here he is, barely awake but despite his pain, he is trying to comfort Konro. The lieutenant’s stomach clenches painfully at the notion. He finally turns and looks at the younger man. Completely at odds with the words he just spoke, Benimaru’s eyes contain a myriad of emotions: pain, concern, but above all, panic. And that is the worst of all. It is not a look that should be on Waka’s face. It makes Konro want to hold him close, and take him far away from here, where he would never suffer again.

Konro reaches out, pushing Benimaru’s black hair from his forehead, attempting to comfort the younger man without words. Mindful of the gash on the back of Benimaru’s head, Konro runs his fingers through the damp strands, gently combing the hair with his fingers, desperate for that fear to be quashed, desperate to protect the captain in any way he could.

“I’m here, Beni.”

The captain looks so small on the tatami mats, breath coming in painful bursts, blood still oozing from the wounds on his chest. He holds Konro’s gaze until he can’t anymore, going unconscious again from the pain. It is a startling contrast from the strong, awe-inducing man who carries the weight of Asakusa on his shoulders so naturally.

At that moment, a commotion is heard from the hall. The twins have returned, with the medic in tow. The girls pull the woman by her wrists, dragging her roughly along in their haste to return to Waka’s side.

“Hurry up, you’re too slow you hag!” The twins speak in unison. Their words are cruel, but Suzume does not fault them for it, all too accustomed to the girls’ behaviour.

Konro stands and picks the girls up so they are out of the way.

“Let us see Waka! Put us down, stupid Konro!” the girls explode angrily. But they do not leave his arms, as worried about Benimaru as Konro is. He ignores them, speaking instead to the medic.

“We will leave him in your care. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.” He hears how his voice breaks, but he chooses to ignore it for now.

“Of course, Kon-san. You have already done plenty, thank you for cleaning his wounds. I can take care of it from here.” She smiles and turns towards the injured man. Konro takes that as his cue to leave, carrying the girls out of the room and into theirs.

For the first time, Konro prays to any gods willing to listen.

***

“Konro, stay with us, please!” The girls have been tucked in, but it was obvious they are not going to sleep for a while, too upset.

Konro is hesitant, wrapped in thoughts of returning to Benimaru’s side. But the usage of the word ‘please’ holds his attention, largely because he has almost never heard the girls say it before. Maybe he needs to teach them better manners going forward. Maybe he is stalling.

With a gentle sigh and a kind smile, he sits down between their futons. Not that they need two separate ones, because they always end up sharing by morning. Be nice to them, they’re just as scared as you are. Furthermore, he is the lieutenant, and when Waka is gone, he must step up.

“I’ll tell you a story, will that help you relax?” His voice breaks the silence that has befallen the guardhouse.

“Yes!!! Tell us about when you hazed Waka!” Hika giggles.

“Tell us, tell us!” Hina pipes up.

Konro smiles in the way that only the young girls can bring out of him. “I’ve told you a thousand times already, haven’t I?” But he begins anyway.

The so-called proto-nationalist hazing that Benimaru had later inflicted on Shinra and Arthur of Company 8 was something Konro had once forced the younger man (at the time, a boy) to undergo as a punishment. The boy had recently begun to act up in training and was being a little shit, so Konro and the other hikeshi enacted a plan to teach the brat a lesson.

They had told him it was time for him to undergo a traditional hazing to signify his transition into manhood. It was a load of shit, but they figured the angsty young master was too far up his own ass to realise that they had made the whole thing up. They were right.

“Konro? Hello? What the fuck am I doing?!” Benimaru was currently tied to a spit and was suspended sideways over a fire, face up. His clothes were burning away, slowly revealing his backside. Not that Konro had noticed.

“Uh,” Konro stalled, trying to recall their made-up explanation, “It's uh, an old proto-nationalist hazing.” Yeah that sounds good. A simple punishment is all it was, really. And it was hilarious. Benimaru, the kid with a strength that easily surpasses most grown men, was tied up in the middle of Asakusa, roasting over the fire.

Surprisingly, Beni had gone along with being tied up without much fight, more annoyance and confusion as opposed to actual anger. Not quite the reaction Konro was going for, but he wasn’t going to read into it too much.

“Konro, it's hot. Can you untie me please?” The boy had whined.

“No Waka, you must learn to overcome your physical discomforts. This is an essential part of your training.” Konro had to actively fight the urge to burst out laughing. He bit his tongue and tried to look detached.

“This is ridiculous. What’s the fucking point. This is stupid.” Beni continued to complain.

“You’ll learn the point, kid.” A hikeshi spoke up. “We all went through this, suck it up.” Konro was grateful. He didn’t think he could speak more without laughing. A crowd was gathering, Asakusa’s inhabitants curious as to why the young master was tied like a roasted pig in the public space. Benimaru turned red. Trained warrior or no, being stared at by elderly women with his ass hanging out (because at this point his clothes had all but burned away) was a rather embarrassing scenario.

There are very few things that could be less mortifying for a teenage boy.

***

Hika and Hina giggle at the image. Konro cannot suppress his smile at the memory, the disgruntled look on Benimaru’s face is one he will never forget.

The girls yawn in sync. “Konro keep going.” Hina is impatient. “Yeah, hurry up!!” Like clockwork, Hika trills after her sister.

“Yes, yes. Let’s continue.” The knowledge that Benimaru is lying just down the hall is not forgotten, but Konro has to be there for the twins.

***

“Now what?” Benimaru had dropped his initial discontented expression and had settled for a scowl. He was starting to get rather irate. Konro knew this, but he was having too much fun to stop.

The young master was once again suspended above a fire, except this time he wore only a fundoshi, and his arms and feet were spread apart. The embarrassment had not gone away, he was a teenage boy after all. Konro thought it was too funny to stop, even if the furious younger man stood a chance against him in a fight.

Another hikeshi lit a fire at Benimaru’s feet, the flames instantly shooting upwards.

“HOLY FUCKING SHIT OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU BASTARD IM GOING TO KILL YOU-” Beni launched a verbal tirade with increasingly creative language. Konro actually laughed, he couldn’t help it. That only served to piss off the young man more. “KONRO I SWEAR TO ANY GOD ABOVE THAT I WILL CUT OFF YOUR HANDS AND MAKE YOU EA-'' Beni was cut off by a gag appearing around his mouth. Fire of course. Konro’s quick thinking.

This continued until the older man figured it was time to move on to the next punishment.

***

The twins had fallen asleep holding each other close. Their breath is in sync. How they manage that Konro will never know. He stands slowly, careful not to wake them, but he knows he need not worry - they are exhausted. He is too, but now is not the time for sleep, not when Benimaru needs him.

Konro hesitates before opening the door to his bedroom. The dread he has been setting aside for the twins threatens to spill out and make an emotional wreck of him. That cannot happen. Not right now. He needs to push past his own weakness for the young master.

Pulling aside the door, he sees Suzume packing her bag. He cannot bring himself to look at the futon, not yet.

“He’ll live.” Her voice is quiet, calm. “The cuts are mostly superficial but there is still significant bruising on his chest and arms. None of it is life-threatening but he will be in a great deal of pain for the next two weeks at least.” The lieutenant almost has to sit down, relief flooding every fibre of his being.

“That being said,” she continues, “The wrist is broken and his shoulder has been dislocated. He is right handed, correct?” Konro nods. “Then he will require assistance until he becomes accustomed to using his left hand. He also has a mild concussion, but the cut on his head is not as deep as it looks.”

“How long until he is healed?”

She hesitates, unable to meet his eyes. The medic senses the lieutenant’s nervousness. Poor Kon-san. “The concussion should heal in about ten days, assuming he makes the effort to get better fully. At least six weeks for the wrist. More or less the same for the shoulder, but I will discuss all the details with you when he wakes, which might not be for a long time. I gave him some painkillers…” She continues, tactfully ignoring Konro’s obvious inner turmoil.

Benimaru will be unable to train for at least a month. He will not be allowed to fight for Asakusa. Beni’s necessity to the town aside, Konro is more worried about the emotional toll it would take on the captain, who lives and breathes to serve their district. The thought of Beni forced to sit aside and watch made his heart clench painfully.

“...and with that, I suggest you go to sleep, Kon-san. You’ve had a long night, and I will see you in the morning.” The medic withdraws quickly, leaving the two men alone.

Konro realises he needs to go to Benimaru’s side. Because really, that’s where he belongs. It’s where he always wants to be.

He kneels next to the sleeping captain, who is almost swallowed up by the robes Suzume had dressed him in. They are Konro’s, and they are much too large. The word ‘cute’ flashes through the lieutenant's mind at the image. He must be tired, he thinks, because he doubts anyone in their right state of mind would describe the young captain in such a way.

Reaching out his hand, Konro runs his hand through the hair sticking to Benimaru’s forehead, pushing the strands back. The hand lingers longer than Konro had intended it to.

The captain stirs, murmuring in his sleep. “K’nro…wha’s for d’ner…” before becoming silent again. Konro smiles gently, the tears he has been holding back finally free falling. He allows himself to just feel for a minute. The distress about Beni’s emotional state upon learning he has to put aside his own training for so long. The worry he had felt in the hours leading up to seeing Beni, only for it to come crashing down once he found out the damage done to his captain. But worst of all is the anguish. Because for a brief moment, he thought he was going to lose him. And that causes him more grief than anything else.

How pitiful.

After all Benimaru has been through, the worst emotions stem from Konro’s own fear. From his own weakness. Because if he was strong, he could have protected Benimaru. How pathetic.

Konro continues to let these negative feelings wash over him, until his captain stirs once again. This time, the younger man opens his eyes fully. They were glazed, but he appears to see Konro sitting beside him.

Immediately, Konro moves closer, hands hovering, wanting to touch him but not knowing how. Benimaru spares him the struggle by taking the larger hand in his, gripping it firmer than one would have expected given his condition.

“Stay?”

“Always.”
