Idk if you remember the ateez as mythical creatures thing I did a while back but I came across this on pinterest today

I was like MOON SPIRIT JONGHO. He'll probably wear a shirt underneath though. No bit srsly Jongho's outfits are always so modest yet tasteful.

Oh and then I was about to go to sleep but then my mind went "Seonghwa the Dracula and his Human friend Hongjoon who plays spooky music whenever Hwa enters the room."

Like

Seonghwa: *enters*

Hongjoong:

Anyways

WHY IS HE SO CUTE??!!

OMG NO I REMEMBER THE ATEEZ AS MYTHICAL CREATURES

jongho would really slay so hard in this fit?? imagine him with his messy curls and an almost sheer white shirt under that fit. now imagine him singing in this look.

moon spirit jongho hypnotizing everyone in sight 😌💅

also omg i think about seonghwa as dracula a lot ever since that black cat nero mv but sometimes he gives me dracula from hotel transylvania vibes 😭 so imagine hongjoong as the producer who carries a playlist of music like this to play whenever he enters.

and he never misses.

draculhwa will have a hard time not killing him LMAO

ALSO THANK YOU FOR THIS MINGI that's exactly the vibe of history teacher!mingi i'm going for in the fic that's... dropping in a few hours prob hehe

Kij Johnson’s ‘The Fox Woman’ is a gripping novel of magical realism and fairytale, set in the backdrop of Japan’s Heian period. It tells the story of Kaya no Yoshifuji – a lord who falls in love with a beautiful woman only to later discover that she was a fox in disguise.

Tales of foxes transforming into humans to trick unsuspecting people are common in Japan and East Asia. It is said that as the fox grows older, they gain more tails and greater abilities until they are at their most powerful, with nine tails. In Japan, these foxes are called Kitsune, in China, Huli Jing, and in Korea, Kumiho. These foxes may transform into humans for many reasons, to steal from them, to eat them, or, as in the case of ‘The Fox Woman,’ to seduce them.

Wizard who goes to wizard duels and never casts any protection spells. They're a masochist and want to see what the "seven hells testicular torsion" spell feels like to get hit by.

Unfortunately they're now too good at wizard duels (thanks to attending way more than the usual number of them) and it's getting harder and harder to find someone who can make them lose, or even hurt them at this point.

They're now going after some lower-end gods just to feel something. The God of Bicycles may be a pushover as far as Gods go, but they're still a God. They might spirit bomb you with the wishes and dreams of every cyclist in the world and that shit adds up fast.

Their next plan is to try and become a kaiju and attack a medium-sized city. Just what are the defenses of Freeport, Kaya Sona? How we they deal with a 50 foot tall wizard approaching from the west?

Maybe the wizards of the city will join together and summon some cthulhu-motherfucker from the deeps of the Glowing Sea. Maybe they'll combine their energy and hit the wizard with one of those beams that'll take out small planets in scifi movies. Maybe they'll just fling 900 fireballs at the stompy giant wizard. Either way, it'll probably hurt a lot.

They're thinking about one day taking on the God of Pain, but while that's obviously a good idea from their end if they lose, they're a little worried about what'll happen if they win. Killing a God is a dangerous thing: either you radically change the world until another can be elected, or the universe decides it can't keep the wheels turning without that God's domain, and it immediately elects a new god: the person who killed the last one.

And the last thing a magical masochist wants to be is the nigh-omnipotent being who rules over the domain of pain, a caretaker of a promised land they can never enter.

So it's risky. But it's either that or eventually they find a God or wizard that can stop them. So far, they've found neither, and the world is filling up with dead or bruised wizards and Gods in their wake.

Continuation

"The short story is, someone was killed in my home. It turns out the body was not disposed of properly, so now her spirit is haunting us. She asked me to give her a proper burial," Kaya was explaining to Stephen. She ends her talk with a raspy, wet cough into her elbow before sniffling. She sounded about as bad as she looked and felt.

"My father's assistant, Wesley, is on his way to help. I recall that he was the last one with her body." The way Kaya spoke about this was uncanny. It was as simple to her as going over her daily chores.

MAN UTD VS MAN CITY - HÉCTOR FORT

Héctor comforts you when United loses

Héctor Fort x fem! reader

︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿

The anticipation in the stadium was electric. The Community Shield match between Manchester United and Manchester City had drawn in thousands of fans, and I was no exception.

Decked out in my Manchester United jersey, I felt the excitement and nerves bubbling up inside me as the teams took their positions on the pitch.

Next to me, Hector sat casually, not wearing any specific team’s colors but grinning as he watched my enthusiasm.

“You look like you’re about to play in the match yourself,” Hector teased, nudging me with his elbow.

I shot him a mock glare, trying to focus on the game. “This is serious, Hector. It’s United against City. We have to win this.”

He chuckled, throwing an arm around my shoulders. “Relax, love. They’re going to win.”

I smiled at his words, but as the game progressed, my anxiety returned. It was a tough match, both teams going all out. United had a few close calls, but so did City, and by the time the final whistle blew, it was still a draw. Penalties were looming.

I gripped the edge of my seat, my heart racing as the penalty shootout began. Each shot felt like a make-or-break moment, the tension in the stadium palpable.

When United’s players stepped up and scored, I cheered loudly, my hopes rising. But every time City matched it, my nerves flared up again.

And then it happened. Manuel Akanji stepped up for City and calmly slotted the ball into the net. 7-6. United had lost.

The stadium erupted—City fans celebrating wildly while the United fans fell into a stunned silence. I felt my heart sink, disappointment crashing over me like a wave. I had been so sure we could win, so hopeful. And now, it was over.

Hector noticed my deflated mood immediately. He tightened his arm around me, pulling me closer. “Hey, it’s okay,” he said softly, his voice cutting through the noise around us.

I sighed, trying to shake off the disappointment, but it clung to me stubbornly. “I just really thought we could win this one. It’s always tough losing to City, you know?”

He nodded, understanding in his eyes. “I get it. But it’s just one match. There’s a whole season ahead, and United will bounce back. They always do.”

I knew he was right, but it didn’t make the loss any easier to swallow. “I know. It’s just… frustrating.”

Hector gave me a sympathetic smile, then leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. “You know, maybe if they’d let me take a penalty, we would’ve won.”

I couldn’t help but snort at that, a small smile tugging at my lips despite myself. “Oh really? And here I thought you were just a football fan.”

He grinned, clearly pleased that he’d gotten a smile out of me. “Hey, I’ve got some skills, you know. I might not play for United, but I’m sure I could’ve given them a run for their money.”

I rolled my eyes but felt my spirits lift slightly. “Sure, Hector. Next time, I’ll tell them to call you up.”

“Exactly,” he said, nodding seriously. “I’ll be their secret weapon.”

We both laughed, the sound a welcome relief after the tension of the game. Hector’s arm stayed around me, comforting and warm, and I leaned into him, grateful for his presence.

As the stadium began to empty, Hector stood up and held out his hand to me. “Come on, let’s get out of here. We can grab something to eat, and I’ll let you complain about the match all you want.”

I took his hand, letting him pull me to my feet. “You’re really okay with listening to me rant?”

He smiled down at me, his eyes soft. “Of course. Besides, I’m pretty sure you’ll be in a better mood after some food. And if that doesn’t work, we’ll figure something else out. Maybe we can watch a movie or do something fun to take your mind off it.”

I squeezed his hand, feeling a surge of affection for him. “Thanks, Hector. You’re the best, you know that?”

He chuckled, pulling me closer as we made our way out of the stadium. “I try.”

Opla zoro headcanons of saving his s/o from being kidnapped from other pirates

OPLA! Zoro Headcanons: He Saves You

Author's note: I love this idea so much! Thank you for your request! x

cc for the artwork below: original artwork for the POTC movie.

You knew something was wrong with Khaladore and the kitchen servants from the moment you met them. You could not explain how or why, but there was something almost sinister about them.

During dinner you noticed the black-haired man sneaking glances at you, his eyes narrowing every time your gaze met his.

You were not sure if anyone else paid attention to the butler and his actions, as nobody has said anything, so the longer the night went the more you tried to convince yourself that it was just your tired mind playing tricks on you.

Maybe he has seen you before and was just trying to remember why your face is so familiar. Or maybe he was deep in his own personal thoughts and hadn't even noticed he was staring...

Zoro, however, was of a different opinion.

While he has not voiced his thoughts or his urge to throw his dinner knife at the butler's head, he was aware of the sneaky glances from the moment you sat at the table.

While usually, he would've taken out his swords by now, there was a feeling of anticipation that was stopping him. Something was about to happen tonight and whatever it was he was prepared.

Or at least he thought he was...

Waking up at the bottom of the dried well, he cursed himself under his breath, trying to figure a way out.

A wave of panic washed over him, remembering that the last thing he saw before he passed out was Khaladore dragging you away with his hand over your mouth.

With you in his mind it took him less than three minutes to figure out a way to climb up the well.

Zoro rarely got into a state of rage. Whenever he was angry, he was good at holding back and keeping it under the surface. But now...

Now all he saw was red. His hands were trembling, his breathing was heavy and his feet were carrying him back toward the house with an impressive speed.

He knew he had to find you as soon as possible. As bad as it sounded, he didn't even spare a single thought about his other crewmates at this moment. All that was in his mind was you and the strong need to slice the sneaky into a thousand pieces for even touching you.

Unlike Zoro, you were not a great fighter. So when Khaladore (who you find out was actually named Kuro) dragged you into one of the halls downstairs, you tried to fight against him, however, he easily overpowered you.

Saying he would use you as leverage against your crew members if they tried to interfere with his plans, you couldn't help but feel like a failure. Sure, your extensive knowledge of biology and sea creatures was impressive, but were they enough to call yourself a "pirate"? You couldn't even free yourself from a set of ropes!

Kuro left you with the two kitchen workers, who turned out to be part of the same pirate crew as him, while he left to search for Kaya. Your body slumped against the wall, your spirit completely broken. Even the taunting comments by the pirates and their harsh poking of your limbs could not get a response from you.

It happened quickly. One moment you were deep in your self-loathing, the next you were watching Zoro slaying the pirates, his screams echoing between the walls.

You have never seen him like this. Eyes wide and teeth bared, he looked like a God of War, slaying his enemies with just one hit.

The fight ended as quickly as it started. Once both of Kuro's crewmates were on the floor, groaning in pain and bleeding into the carpet, Zoro turned his attention to you.

You would be lying if you said that his state didn't scare you a bit. You have never seen him like that and you didn't know what to expect.

He sliced the rope and before you can even stretch your limbs, he pulled you into a tight hug, burying his face into your neck. It took you a moment to comprehend the fact that he was HUGGING you, but once you did you wrap your arms around his neck, pressing his face closer.

"I thought something happened to you", he mumbled in your hair, taking a deep breath, "I thought I lost you... I... I have never been that scared in my life."

You let out a sigh of relief at his words, gently stroking his hair. Closing your eyes you relaxed in his arms, knowing you were finally safe.

"I am here", you said, more to yourself than to him, "I am here."

Staying wrapped in each other's arms, you both found comfort in the fact that you were together. You may had a lot of ups and downs since you've met, but one was for sure - you could not live without each other.

There is literally nothing I can imagine from the Adventure Time Universe that quite matches the otherworldly nature and presence of the Shishigami/Forest Spirit/Nightwalker. So instead I'll just let you decide that one.

[opbackgrounds]

So I finished the live action and have taken a little time to get my thoughts together, and I'm very much of two minds about this show. I don't seem to be quite as high on it as some other people and the parts I didn't like I *really* didn't like, but I think the bones of the show are good and that the problems I had could be improved upon in future seasons.

More detailed thoughts under the cut

I've said all along that the live action will need to carve out its own identity if it wants to survive, that it needed not to copy the source material, but rhyme with it.

I feel like the first four episodes do that best. There was a lot to cover in the East Blue, and the more disconnected, episodic nature of the manga wasn't going to work. The solution was to combine and condense the manga content, and then add a significant B plot with the marines to help tie everything together.

The problem I have is that the addition of the marines takes away too much time from the Straw Hats without adding enough to make it worth it in the end. While backstories and story arcs were rushed to hell for our main crew, everything with Garp slogged, with the final payoff being nonsensical and poorly executed. I get what they were trying to do with Garp, shifting from childish temper tantrums to laughing maniacally, but it just doesn't work. Garp just doesn't work. Which is a shame, because I think that the growth for Koby and Helmeppo had a lot of potential and the actors exceeded my expectations. The material they had to work with just wasn't good enough.

Syrup Villiage worked best for me, because of all the arcs in the manga it was the most dragged out and poorly executed. It benefits from being condensed and leaning into the horror vibe over the generic shonen battle of the original was inspired. Plus, it validated my head canon of Kuro poisoning Kaya, which is always a nice feeling.

But even here, there's a knock-on effect of what came before it. Because Shells Town and Orange Town were cut down so drastically, Zoro's backstory and some of Nami's development were kicked on down the line, making Usopp more of a bystander in the arc where he should have shined the brightest. Later on the Baratie, Sanji's inner turmoil and struggle to follow his dream is reduced down to a "hey, the chore boy offered me a job, I'm gonna bounce".

And for what? So we can spend a painfully long scene of Garp eating a fucking steak?

The show needed its original ten episodes of runtime to let the characters just breathe. The chemistry amongst the crew is great, there are cinematic moments that took my breath away, the soundtrack is fire, the fights were enjoyable, and the set design is fantastic, but the depth of the manga is flattened. In the East Blue, every villain--even the shitty ones--acted as double foils. For example, Captain Morgan's narcissism contrasted with Zoro's willingness to throw away his good name in order to follow his dream, where his more villainous nature foiled Koby's heroism. In the show, Morgan barely counts as a villain, with his more disturbing and evocative acts such as telling his subordinates to shoot themselves (and more chillingly, them willing to do it) are cut out entirely, and it makes Garp's decision to later tie him up to the same post as Zoro seem almost insane.

Of all the arcs, Arlong Park left the worst taste in my mouth, which is so frustrating when it's supposed to be the crown jewel of the season. The changes they made to Nojiko are baffling and the one time I honestly don't understand why a change was made. Nami's backstory, the most powerful in the East Blue, was chopped into pieces and condensed so much that I felt nothing when Bellemere died. Luffy's decision to actually listen to Nami's backstory, while it made sense for this version of the character, went so against the spirit of the original that it took me out of the moment, as well as removing one of the aspects that makes Luffy such a unique character in the first place.

And for what, so the season had time to end with Luffy fighting Garp in a hopeless fight, only for Garp to let him go because "it was all a test"? Bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. The whole point of the East Blue is to establish the Straw Hat Pirates. They shouldn't be playing second fiddle to anyone, let alone this deranged, poorly written version of Garp.

I said that the bones of the show are good, and I stand by that. The Straw Hats are the Straw Hats. The One Piece world is the One Piece world. I do remain hopeful for improvements should there be a season two, because the marine B plot with Smoker is already in the manga, and the overarching story of Alabasta gives the writers the ability to be more flexible with the limited time that they have. I have to believe that it's easier doing one big story over the course of a season than it is trying to shove 5 origin stories into 8 episodes, but I'm not a TV person so I might be wrong.

However, my concern is that in some ways season one benefited from the pandemic. The series was in pre-production for like 7 years, and all the interviews I've read have credited the extra time the series had in the developmental oven for my favorite aspects of the show--particularly the sets. That's not going to necessarily the case going forward, and my worry is if future seasons aren't given the time to get it right that it's all going to fall apart. At the same time they can't wait too long, because that's not how live action works.

The live action isn't a bad show, but it isn't a good show, either. I'm glad that it exists, even if it's only to point back to the original. I wouldn't be devistated if it were cancelled, but would certainly check out season two should it get renewed.

Just, please. No more Garp. I'm begging Matt Owens and Oda himself, please. Just let the man do cool stuff off screen for a couple seasons, and when he's reintroduced pretend all this never happened. Your show will be better for it, I promise.
