You got any Kim Diehl headcanons?

She’s SEVERELY underrated in the Soul Eater fandom. Like she’s hiding in plain sight just to have a better life for herself and no one talk about her

Not much of a headcanon since it's practically canon already, but she acts the way she is out of a traumatic response due to her being shut out if the witches community. She's afraid of getting tossed out like nothing again from the people she cares about

Remember Soul eater not? (I wish I didn't) So we know Jackie liked Kim, but I really don't think Kim liked her back. I think she really only liked the attention Jackie gave her since she was so used to people hating her. Honestly, I think the same about how she is with Ox.

Anyways, moving away from the deep topics 😭

She definitely has girls nights with the rest of the girls in the Main 8. (Maka doesn't show up a lot, she's mostly likely insecure about her identity as a girl so she makes up excuses like studying not to go)

Kim probably silently makes lunches for Jackie but expects Jackie to pay her back for the money she "wasted on ingredients." Same with Ox.

I don't think she talks to Harver a lot, they could care less about eachother honestly. There's probably a mild dislike between the two.

Also, going back to Maka's insecurity about her identity. Kim sometimes would help Maka become more confident, but not without teasing her about it a lot.

Out of the Main 8,I think she mostly talk to Maka and Liz. She thinks everyone else is too quiet or too weird to talk to on a daily basis.

Probably gives fashion advice or dating advice to people. (Not without them paying)

Also definitely reads magazines with Liz.

Sorry if this was a little basic 😭, I'm basing this off of what little we are really shown of her unfortunately. She has great potential character wise but it wasn't really explored within the manga much.

[memethebum]

Here’s me and @alcruid’s entry for Reverb 2024! If you like Hell’s Paradise, murder/gore, Soul going through the horrors, and wacky character interactions check it out hehe

Summary: Soul is sentenced to death but is visited by Maka, a head strong woman from a clan of executioners who offers him the chance to be pardoned.

He and other death row convicts are sent to the lost island to obtain BREW and bring it back to the shogun. In order to prevent escape, each convict is supervised by an executioner from Lord Death’s clan.

Rating/Warnings: M (mild violence, swearing, minor character death)

*ੈ🎄✩‧₊Warnings: reader taller than hongjoong ((this is rie's fic, everyone 🤐)), reader is a tease!, pegging, bottom! hongjoong, top! reader

*ੈ🎄✩‧₊Summary: In a world where you've been born in a sequestered city surrounded by a wall, Hongjoong would do literally anything to get the two of you out of this hellhole you grew up in. He would risk it all, just for you

*ੈ🎄✩‧₊Author's Note~  i found this saying in tagalog that i think fits perfectly for this scenario: the exercise of free will to take a risk and attempt to shape outcomes to a degree, in face of known and unknown factors that come into play. To throw yourself into the hands of fate, despite the adversity, hoping it will all end well 💞

The crowd cheered for Hongjoong but his eyes only searched out for one head that stuck out above the rest. He was looking for you. He only needed to win one more fight, and he would get his freedom--and yours. You two had half-bottled dreams of leaving this place the two of you fought through as children. He didn’t know how far you’d get but he was damn determined to make sure you found a place to be yourself and to be with him.

It was easy to find you in the crowd, your head always high above everyone else. But even if he couldn't see you, all he had to do was follow the red string of fate that always connected him to you. There were too many instances when that had saved the both of you.

🌠🌠🌠The Past

A few years ago, when the red string could be seen by you both, you had become even more inseparable. The two of you laid on a rooftop, limbs entwined casually, when Hongjoong sprouted his plan.

“I’m going to start boxing,” Hongjoong said resolutely.

You sat up, eyes wide with alarm. “But Hongjoong--”

“I know the risk, Love,” Hongjoong cut you off, sitting up as well.

“Then you know I can’t risk you!” You protested. 

Hongjoong smiled gently at you. “We can’t be together here. They’ll never let us. I have to try something.”

And so Hongjoong learned how to box. He trained with the other hopeful youths looking to earn their freedom. 

Once a year, the man in charge of this city within a wall, held a boxing tournament. He said it was built on the foundation of the gladiators of old. In fact, it was just a source of entertainment for the ones in charge of this place. You knew that, Hongjoong knew that, but if there was a chance to be free of this place…

The city was once the unfortunate recipient of a toxic accident. In order to make sure that none of the infection spread, a wall was built around it. Anyone born in that city remained in that city. After years and years of oppression, the ‘higher up’s decided that it would benefit the populace if there was a way to earn your freedom. 

🌠🌠🌠

You were there to wrap up Hongjoong’s hands before he donned the boxing gloves when he practiced. The material that protected Hongjoong’s hands passed through yours. You wanted to lean forward and kiss his fingers before you were done but you resisted. It wasn’t safe for anyone to see that there was a bond further than friendship between you and Hongjoong; it could be used against you, at the detriment of each other. But the small opportunity to ‘help’ Hongjoong was approved; you were his best friend after all. 

Oftentimes, when the majority of the boxing club was gone, you were afforded quiet moments with Hongjoong. Always careful, you were the first one with the first aid box, rubbing ointment on a split lip or placing ice on a bruise. Hongjoong always thanked you with a quick smile. 

“I don’t think Wooyoung isn’t going to last long, especially after that knock out,” You mused. You stood up and mock-jabbed at the air, pulling a chuckle from Hongjoong.

“I don’t think so either but I think one of the coaches is gonna ask him to be an assistant coach,” Hongjoong informed you.

Your eyes slid towards Hongjoong, now clasping your arms behind your back. “But you aren’t quitting.”

Hongjoong shook his head. “Nope.”

You plopped yourself down on Hongjoong’s lap, wrapping your arms around his neck. “Are you sure I can’t convince you?”

A gleam of lust suddenly lit up Hongjoong’s eyes. “You could plead your case,” He suggested with a smile pulling up the corners of his lips. 

Your arms around Hongjoong’s neck moved, tilting his head to the side to nibble at his ear, just the way he liked it. “I hate seeing them ruin your pretty face, Joongie,” You cooed.

“Ah!” Hongjoong exclaimed once your teeth set into his lobe. “It’s only--hhh--temporary.”

You followed a path of wet kisses and sharp nips along his jaw and down his neck. “Oh, well then,” You replied flippantly, settling back on his lap--away from the growing present in his pants. “If it’s just temporary.”

Hongjoong grinned but he groaned at the loss of your lips on him. “You’re such a fucking tease.”

Your fingertip found the head of his dick in his sweats and flicked it, causing Hongjoong to gasp. “It’s only temporary; you’ll be fine.”

Having his words thrown back at him, all he could do was pout and you cackled as you got off his lap. “Come on, we should head home.” You sent a dramatic look over your shoulder. “That is, unless you want to get caught.”

Hongjoong swallowed visibly and stood up, shifting his pants over his uncomfortable boner. “No, we can’t have that.”

You smirked. “No, I don’t suppose we can.”

🌠🌠🌠Present day

You shouted loudly from your place in the crowd. Hongjoong was fighting like the true scraper he was but you worried. His opponent was bigger than him in a way that you were certain would never fly in a real world boxing match. It was just another confirmation that no one actually left this place through this competition. But Hongjoong was determined.

Your heart ached at the sight of Hongjoong bobbing and weaving. His eyes were trained on his opponent, never faulting from his goal. He hadn't even winced when the man stormed out, a clear favorite of the crowd. Hongjoong’s left arm shot out, glancing off his opponent’s jaw, and then he received a punch to the gut before he could dodge out of the way. The bell rang to signify the end of the round and Hongjoong struggled to his corner.

You shouted for the crowd to move out of the way as your stomach moved upwards into your throat. You didn’t care for one fucking second one anyone thought: Hongjoong was hurt and you were going to his side. You followed the red string that remained connected between your pinky and Hongjoong’s, knowing eventually you would end at Hongjoong’s side.

Hongjoong’s coach was rubbing his shoulder muscles and whispering into Hongjoong’s ear as the medic was carefully handing some ice to Hongjoong. Hongjoong’s eyes widened as he watched you approach. He dismissed his coach, who sent you an unapproving look but moved out of ear shot. 

You grabbed Hongjoong by the nape of his neck and pulled his forehead towards you. “That was kinda stupid, Hongjoong,” You hissed.

Hongjoong laughed. “I got more points than him.”

Your eyebrows furrowed inwards for a moment. “Throw the match. We’ll try again next year. Just don’t hurt your money maker, okay? I’ve kinda grown fond of your ugly mug,” You teased. 

Hongjoong laughed and then groaned, clutching his stomach. “No, Love, I won’t throw the match. Now go back to the stands before Coach glares a hole into your back.”

You stuck your tongue out at Hongjoong’s coach but flounced away regardless. You pushed and glared at a few people until you arrived back at your previous position. Your gut was still twisting in worry, but you had to hope that the both of you would stick it to the man and leave this place. You needed it with all your heart.  

🌠🌠🌠The Night before

“Fuck,” Hongjoong bit down on his lower lip. 

You were deep in Hongjoong, as you preferred. Your strap-on was spreading Hongjoong’s tight little hole and he shuddered as the tip brushed his prostate once again. 

“Deeper!” he whined.

You angled your hips and continued to thrust into your lover slowly. Leaning in to capture Hongjoong’s lips in a messy kiss, when you released him, a string of spit connected you, not unlike your red string of fate. 

“Love!” Hongjoong’s black nails scraped the nape of your neck.

At a moment's notice, you began to jackhammer inside of Hongjoong, who could barely hold himself together after you gave him what he wanted. Pretty groans fell from his lip as his body jolted under you. He was just so cute, so tiny below you. You adored having him fall apart like this for you. This was your view, no one else could have Hongjoong like this.

“Give it to me, Pretty Boy,” Hongjoong encouraged you.

Your eyes rolled into the back of your head, your hips pressing into Hongjoong’s ass, fervor renewed. “Take my dick in that tight hole of yours.”

“So good,” Hongjoong groaned, tipping his head backwards so you could view his sharp jaw and neck. You weren’t allowed to mark up his beautiful skin but you longed for the day you could do so freely and declare him yours. 

“Are you going to cum, Joongie?” You teased, getting wetter and wetter as Hongjoong’s chest bounced when you fucked him. 

“Gonna cum!” Hongjoong whined, getting more and more pitchy the closer you brought him to his climax. He reached in between his legs and eagerly began to tug on his cock as his cries began to reach a crescendo. 

“Cum, baby,” You ordered and Hongjoong’s back bowed, his toes curled, and he came all over his taut stomach. You watched with absolute glee as it was your dick that put him through that intense climax.

When Hongjoong opened his eyes, they were hooded and sated. “Thank you, Love.”

You didn’t need any encouragement to fuck Hongjoong silly but he always begged for it on a night before a big event. He always stated that he could never turn his brain off but your big dick always could. 

“Oh thank God you’re finished, you’re so hard to please,” You rolled your eyes and collapsed beside Hongjoong in his tiny bed.

Hongjoong propped himself up with one hand holding up his head, turning to his side. He had his serious face on, so your teasing grin slowly lost its wattage on your face. “I’m gonna win tomorrow, Love. I’m going to get us the hell out of here. I’m going to build us a better life; one that we deserve.”

You pulled at his free hand and lifted it to your lips, kissing his knuckles. “I know, Hongjoong,” You reassured him.

Hongjoong groaned when you slipped one of his fingers into your mouth and bobbed down on it, keeping eye contact. “You’re insatiable!”

You released his finger with a pop. “Only for you,” You informed him.

🌠🌠🌠Present day

Hongjoong was losing energy; it was apparent in the way he stopped dodging oncoming punches. He acquired a fat lip, and you thanked God for the teeth guard. Soon, with all the points the opponent was wracking up, it was very clear that Hongjoong was not going to win. 

You chewed on your lower lip, anxiety feeding you with dread, but still you were the loudest one cheering Hongjoong on. Even his boxing club mates had gone silent, eyes worryingly following the way he listed slowly to the left as he walked. 

There was nothing you could do to protect Hongjoong, but then again, he had always been the one that protected you…

🌠🌠🌠The Past

“You smell like poop!” You insulted the other child that had been throwing dirt at you and calling you weird.

“At least I’m not a weirdo like you!” The kid threw verbal daggers at you back.

“Hey!” Hongjoong turned a corner and ran as fast as he could. He tackled the kid looking to throw a rock at you next and stopped him.

“Leave him alone!” Hongjoong pummeled the other kid until that kid who had been harassing you was crying, covered in snot.

Hongjoong stood up and approached you. Even as a child, his eyes still held an amount of warmth that was really only reserved for family. But then again, you two had always felt like a found family with each other. He offered you a hand up and you took it; he had saved you after all.

“You’re not weird,” Hongjoong mumbled under his breath, cheeks looking red. “Don’t listen to that poopie pants.”

You giggled and Hongjoong smiled. And at that moment, although neither of you could see it yet, the red string of fate connected between you two.

🌠🌠🌠Present day

There was a bit of a commotion at the table where the higher ups watched the match. They pointed to the dirty sign that showed how many rounds had taken place and it looked like they were comparing notes. If they ended the match due to points and not a knockout, Hongjoong’s plans would be completely ruined and each blow Hongjoong had received would have been for nothing.

Hongjoong guarded his body and his head alternatively, not allowing for his opponent to swing at him and finally cause a knockout. And just when you thought he was about to collapse, his listing turning into a stumble, when the opponent swung at the obvious weakness, Hongjoong ducked and delivered an upper cut to the man’s chin. The big man collapsed, eyes rolling into the back of his head, and the referee began the count. 1, 2, 3! The referee brought Hongjoong’s arms upwards in a celebration and Hongjoong was declared the victor!

You jumped up and down and shouted until you felt your voice go hoarse. Hongjoong had done the improbable! His love for you and his determination allowed him to do exactly what he needed. He fought for your love, and he allowed fate to lead him where he needed to go. You felt like your heart was going to explode. The two of you would celebrate in private, of course, but still, you made your way back to Hongjoong’s corner of the ring, and gathered Hongjoong up and twirled him around. 

“Alright, alright!” Hongjoong protested against your chest. Even once you let him go, you saw how red his face was, using your height against him. 

You grinned, letting your love for him shine from your eyes. “You did alright for yourself, short stuff,” You said, ruffling his hair.

Hongjoong swatted your hand away and bit down on a pout. “I’m not that much shorter than you.”

“Sure, sweetie, whatever you say,” You teased him, clamping a hand down on his shoulder companionably. 

You’d show him later just how much smaller he was than you; that always seemed to get him the hardest.

Maybe they taught a different type of yoga and insinuated that theirs was better than Val’s, maybe there was a lot of competition over who would get called to teach classes at the rec center, maybe one of them lived in and taught yoga in Briar Ridge first, and the other was ‘encroaching’ on their territory. Whatever the reason, where Val would normally have an attitude of ‘let’s help each other learn and grow and do better,’ there’s now a petty rival between the two and shortly after Val started looking into opening her own yoga studio, she found out that this person was planning to open their own studio as well. Now, there’s a bitter race to see who can open the first yoga studio in Briar Ridge. There could even be a competition over the actual studio space. I imagine there's not a whole ton of available spots to rent in town and so maybe these two end up competing to actually get to rent out a space from the owner. If said race is laced with sexual tension/banter, even better! lol

🔁 (for an updated version 😅🥺)

Under the cut bc it is absurdly long, also let's please ignore the fact that I'm supposed to be studying for a midterm rn!

(I'm sure I'm still missing a million and I left out the ones we've talked about for ages, but also for the ocs that already had sections, I italicized the new ones so they wouldn't get lost 🥺 but also there's so many ocs and crossovers that if I missed any, lmk!)

(RWRB is a completely new section, other new ocs include Juni, Rose, Andrew, Vance, and Hana, plus the descendants section has been added to so extensively that it feels like it's basically new?)

plots ( preference for f/f, f/m, f/nb )

chloe (2009) inspired; muse a suspects their spouse of having an affair after seeing a suspicious  photo of them with someone else. by chance, muse a encounters muse b and discovers that muse b is a call girl that seems to work in the same neighborhood as muse a. muse a ends up hiring muse b to test their spouse’s loyalty. as muse b comes back to say their spouse did in fact take the bait, muse a and muse b begin to grow closer until they begin having an affair of their own. 

gilmore girls inspired: rory x jess; give me a small town with muse a being the golden child of the town (golden adult tbh) and muse b being a newcomer that screams trouble. no one in town seems to like muse b and that’s perfectly fine with them since this is the last place they wanna be (maybe they got job transferred there or they have family they had to take care of or just family business to take of in general), but for whatever reason is drawn to muse a (and is about the only person in town they find remotely tolerable/interesting), and so they start a very unlikely friendship. muse a can be in some long-term relationship (and/or long-distance), so all the angst when there’s also a natural chemistry there with muse a trying to figure out what to do and muse b not exactly being subtly about their interest in them.

the handmaiden inspired; muse a is a con artist with a plan to marry muse b so they can steal their riches from right under their nose. the only problem? muse b is a recluse that doesn’t trust strangers easily and needs convincing to marry muse a. in an attempt to win over muse b’s affections, muse a hires them a personal assistant, muse c, who is actually a petty theft and forger muse a found. muse c is told to befriend muse b and to slowly convince muse b to give muse a a chance to be wooed. as muse c and muse b become closer, muse c begins to feel increasingly guilty over the plans to screw them over. and as muse c does their job of pushing muse a and muse b together, they can’t help but notice a growing jealousy at their interactions. 

jennifer’s body inspired; muse a and muse b have been best friends forever even though they seem to have nothing in common. after muse a is falsely sacrificed as a virgin for some up-and-coming band, they’re suddenly brought back to life and possessed by some other-worldly creature that can only be satisfied with the consumption of human flesh. muse b seems to be the only person to have figured out what is happening and tries to do something about it to help muse a. but instead of the movie’s ending of muse b stopping/killing muse a, cue to sexual awakenings, muse b wanting to help muse a stay alive and/or helping muse a commit their heinous acts, and them being just dangerous girlfriends together that get rid of scummy dudes.

kiki’s delivery service x howl’s moving castle inspired; muse a’s powers as a witch/wizard has finally come in. to carry on tradition, they must leave home and try to make a name for themselves elsewhere as they learn how to use their powers. excited for the adventure, muse a takes off and ends up in a small port town only to realize how difficult it actually is to be a brand new witch/wizard without any real guidance. so when muse a is in town and notices witch/wizard muse b, they become determined to befriend them and try to get them to mentor them. but others warn muse a that muse b is a mysterious recluse with a rather reckless reputation tacked to them and that they’re better off looking for guidance from another. undeterred, muse a settles on weaseling their way into muse b’s life whether they like it or not. 

peter pan inspired: tink x hook; muse a has been in love with their best friend for as long as they can remember. but when their best friend finds love in the arms of someone else, muse a can’t help but feel bitter and angry over it. hoping to make their friend jealous, muse a decides to get chummy with their best friend’s worst enemy, muse b. 

the rookie inspired: tim x lucy; muse a is a hard-ass, no nonsense training officer to enthusiastic rookie cop, muse b. muse b wants nothing more than to succeed buy constantly clashes with muse a personality wise without meaning to. eventually muse b is able to obtain muse a’s respect and approval, and the pair end up forming a rather close bond by the time muse b’s time as a rookie comes to an end. as muse b begins taking an interest in undercover work, muse a and b get pulled into an assignment where they’re forced to pretend to be a couple to close a case. but as they begin to play the part they start to realize that maybe they aren’t exactly just playing at being a fake couple.

-- anyone wanna do a modern romeo/juliet plot?? where their parents are the heads of rival companies or are huge celebrities who have been in a known feud for years and they meet and try to sneak around in secret but there’s paparazzi and tabloids and all that someone please do this with me

-- all i want right now is a cliché undercover marriage 1x1 where there’s two spies who hate each other and everyone knows it but now they’re the only two available for this long term undercover mission as a married couple in an apartment/suburb and they have to be believable through dinner parties and etc. just pleASE give this to me

-- “You’re the sibling of a celebrity and hate your sibling’s celebrity bestie because their cocky and annoying, but oops the bestie falls for you and now is trying to win your attention/affection by sending you gifts and talking about you in interviews and maybe you don’t totally hate the attention after all.”

-- “Muse A is well-mannered, polite, quiet, and shy, and Muse B didn’t even know they existed until they tap on Muse B’s shoulder and asks them out super awkwardly/nervously. Muse B, feeling bad for them, agrees and ends up having a rather awkward and weird first date with them. Despite this, Muse A asks them out a second time, and while Muse B doesn’t exactly think it’s a good idea, finds themselves agreeing again. Of course the second time around, Muse A goes in for a kiss and it ends up not being chaste, sweet, or awkward like Muse B expects, but instead it’s rough and passionate and oops, now Muse B is a little more interested to see where things lead.”

-- “A plot where a flower crown, summer dress wearing innocent princess of a girl goes to a festival and by chance meets the lead guitarist of one of the head-lining acts. He’s super punk and is known as the player/heartbreaker of his band and first of all just sees the girl as another groupie to add to his list–there’s lots of sneaking back stage and into tents when its dead late and eye fucking when he’s on stage. Then surprise, surprise, he falls hard for her her only to find out later that she has some sophisticated, rich boyfriend from some ivy league college and she’s not actually so innocent after all.”

-- a rough around the edges, con artist girl is doing dirty work for her shitty boyfriend and they decide to target a rich, wealthy, cocky sort of young socialite male who feels like his life is a bit empty and redundant, and she may seem like she’s in this con artist game for the money (and she is, partly, because she grew up really poor and knows how it feels to starve) but she also has an unhealthy attachment to the boyfriend even though he treats her like crap and uses her to attract rich males, and then, on the night where she has dressed up and come up with a fake name and is about to make her move on the rich young man she realizes oh, he’s actually extremely attractive and cute and not like the other creepy old men she preys on? and oh, he’s actually extremely charismatic and witty and charming and kind of a dick, but not to her? and oh, now they’re kind of going out on multiple really amazing dates and spending tons of time together and she’s supposed to be digging for his deepest secrets and finding out numbers to his safes and stealing jewelry pieces he probably won’t miss and then one night, her wallet falls out of her bag and… OH, why is her name not the name that she said it was on her drivers license and why are his personal, private cartier bracelets engraved with his initials in there too and who the fuck is calling her phone ??????

-- what if we ,, uh ,, have a ship that was college / high school “almost’s” and they always danced around their feelings because they didn’t want to ruin their friendship but they had all of these little moments where something almost happened anyway lakjfds they graduate and lose touch only to see each other again at a reunion and all of those feelings are back as if nothing changed but they’re older and wiser now and they spend the whole night talking about how dumb they were only to f i n a l l y kiss but then uh oh they live in different cities or one of them is on break with their partner or whatever to complicate things … nah … unless ??

-- a plot where muse a and b hate each other. and by hate, i mean completely and utterly loathe one another. they turn on their heel and walk out of a room when they spot each other, they insult each other at every opportunity they get, and they’d rather sit on a spinning blade than spend time together doing anything but screaming at each other – unless they’re fucking. as much as they can’t stand one another, they drive each other crazy, good crazy, in bed. she comes out with bruises on her hips and hickies on her thighs while he’s got scratches trailing down his back and chest. they hate each other, but they love fucking, and their sex is full of pulling and scratching and biting and shut the fuck up and say my fucking name and the second they’re finished, one’s kicking the other out. this behavior continues for a while, both showing no signs of liking each other, even a little, until one day muse b fucks up and says the ‘l’ word in bed. he leaves immediately, and they avoid each other for days until muse a snaps and goes to his apartment and they fight and fight and fight until they’re fucking again, and afterwards they fight more and he’s shirtless and defensive and she’s in her bra and on the verge of tears because somehow, they ended up loving each other, and suddenly every day when they fight, the 'i hate you’s sound like 'i love you’s and the sex feels like making love and somehow they hate that even more, because hate is all they know how to feel.

-- Honestly I just want a 1x1 where Muse A is a cop’s daughter, who always has straight a’s and never disobeys, and one day she has to stop by the police station (for something, like car keys) and her father is arresting Muse B whose this total badass who drinks, does drugs and sleeps around. So Muse B corrupts Muse A and obviously it’s a forbidden relationship so it’s a lot of sneaking around to have sex and such. But in the end, it’s Muse A whose corrupting Muse B because B hasn’t had anyone in his life to care for and who cares for him.

top 5 books please!! if that's too hard, you can narrow it down to ur top 5 books of 2022 :))) this is purely selfish btw I'm on the hunt for book recs

love me some book recs!! i read 50+ books this year so here's my top ones for 2022 in no particular order (a bit more than 5):

em by kim thúy (historical fiction, beautiful and quick to read, written in fragments that slowly come together)

the secret lives of church ladies by deesha philyaw (another quick read cause my attention span this year was nonexistent, a lovely short story collection)

lost & found by kathryn schulz (very thoughtful and profound memoir, listened to this on audio)

the poet x by elizabeth acevedo (ya book written in verse)

china unbound by joanna chiu (nonfiction, not a light read by any means but super insightful if u have any interest in history, journalism and/or political science)

fun home: a family tragicomic by alison bechdel (memoir in graphic form, just amazing stuff from the author/illustrator behind the bechdel test!)

the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald (finally read this one for uni and the writing style blew me away)

brown girl dreaming by jacqueline woodson (another book in verse, this one falls under children's lit but it's pretty ageless)

and for some silly and/or trashy romance (which i read a lot of this year) i enjoyed when a scot ties the knot by tessa dare and the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood once i completely ignored that a certain star wars romance was the inspiration for it

ASK ME MY “TOP 5″ ANYTHING…

[memethebum]

Finally got ch. 9 of A Sealed Prey done with!!!!

This one is mostly just the rest of Spartoi finally being introduced but there’s also some handholding and kinda pining involved in the middle of it hehe ;)

——————————————————————

“Do we really have to scare them even more than they’ve already been?” Jackie questioned as Kim winked at the white-haired man, who looked away with a startled expression and propelled his partner into an even faster trek through the crowd that had gathered to view the mangled corpse at the edge of the pathway.

“Oh, I know you’re enjoying it as well. If you weren’t, I might’ve listened to Ox and not have taken such an intimidating approach for our new clients ,” Kim hummed before pulling up the thin hood of her coat.

“Well, I’m glad it worked out this way then- since I’d hate losing to someone who seems to have a book shoved up his ass all the time. And besides-“ Jackie added before snaking a hand around her girlfriend’s elbow.

“People talk more when they’re intimated ,” she finished before both women knowingly grinned at one another.

————————————————-

“What’s wrong?” Maka called to Soul as she stopped rubbing a shirt onto her washboard.

“It’s-uh nothing,” Soul answered before tossing one of Stein’s drawers into the soapy bucket in front of him.

He attempted to give Maka a weak smile, hoping that it would be enough to diminish the look of concern etched across her face.

“O-ok,” his partner added, although her eyebrows continued to stay furrowed together even after she began vigorously washing the shirt once more.

Soul then took the initiative to begin working on his own pile of unwashed laundry, although his thoughts couldn’t help but return to the overwhelming sense of embarrassment he felt when Maka had opened the door on him changing in what felt like an eternity ago.

Of course I had to screw things over even more with that terrible joke. I’d probably have been pissed about it too if I was her the man internally grumbled as he began to berate himself over the lack of social skills he had acquired over the years of working various odd jobs in different cities.

“Everyone step back, your god has arrived!” he heard a voice boom from one end of the communal wash-basket line.

Soul turned his head just in time to see Maka’s pupils widen from the voice, although she let out a bemused groan a few moments later.

“Oh, afternoon Maka,” the voice exclaimed as they inched closer to where the pair was seated.

Soul was then able to pinpoint the bellowing voice as a wide-shouldered man that seemed to be around his age. He could feel the stranger’s eyes exchange a glance with Maka before moving towards him, which caused his own gaze to level towards the man’s odd mop of blue hair and the large Star tattoo that was plastered on his right tricep.

“Never expected Maka Albarn to go and elope with such a catch of a man-“

“SHUT UP BLACK*STAR! HE’S- he works with me at Gorgon Manor,” Maka exclaimed over his sneering.

She let out a low sigh before haphazardly waving a hand toward Soul’s direction.

“Black*Star, this is Soul. Soul, this is Black*Star, an old friend of mine,” Maka finished with a grunt.

“Nice to meet ya’, Soul,” Black*Star then said before reaching a hand out to him.

“Nice meeting you too,” Soul added before grasping the man’s hand in his own.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so young with white hair before,” Black*Star commented before gazing at Soul’s ivory strands of hair, which prompted the man in question to let out a small chuckle.

“Yea, well I could say the same about your blue hair-“

“There you are,” another new voice cut above Soul before a large shadow zipped right towards Black*Star.

“Ya’ got some nerve leaving me to do all that paperwork,” a man exclaimed as he grabbed Black*Star’s shirt collar and gave it a loose tug.

“I said I’d help examine the body, not the paperwork,” Black*Star giggled, causing the other man to let go of him with a huff and shift his attention towards Maka and Soul.

“Sorry for bursting into your conversation like that. Name’s Kilik Lung, I’m the sheriff of this little town,” he added before pushing up his square spectacles and giving them both a grin.

Soul couldn’t help but notice how the calm aura surrounding Kilik made him seem like a complete opposite of Black*Star’s wild charisma. He was just about to poke fun at the observation before Maka let out a startled grunt.

“Wait, you get that idiot to help you out!” she yelped while jabbing a finger in Black*Star’s direction.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Black*Star quickly added before huffing and giving Maka a half-hearted glare.

“Yea, didn’t sound like the best idea to me at first but he pulls his weight. We hardly get anything wild happenin’ around town anyway, well other than this morning,” Kilik explained with a dazed frown.

“That’s why everyone was so shocked about you working at the manor when ya’ first got here. Not to mention the sudden exit your friend made after we explained the place’s history,” Black*Star added as he stuck his thumb out towards Soul.

Guess I shoulda’ listened to those rumors Soul thought to himself before releasing a low sigh.

He could then feel Maka’s eyes slowly inch towards him after Black*Star finished speaking, although his partner closed her gaping mouth a few moments later and let out a small hum.

“Anyways, I was meaning to ask if you could put these together again, Black*Star,” Maka murmured as she began to rummage through her apron pocket, eventually pulling out the rings Soul had picked up from atop the burning pile of charcoal during their first day at work.

He watched as the other man gazed upon the rings for a few moments before letting out a whistle.

“You still have those old things on you? Yea, I’d be able to fix them up if we can find a metal wire or somethin’. Does your old m-“

“Great. Thank you.” Maka forcefully voiced above Black*Star’s response, prompting Kilik and Soul to exchange a look of perturbed confusion.

“Speakin’ of fixing,” Kilik added just as Maka dropped the rings onto Black*Star’s large palm .

“You really should take better care of your hair man” he hummed while craning his head towards the back of Soul’s scalp.

“Luckily for you, I know just the lil’ runts who’d be more than happy to spruce things up a bit. What do you think, Star?” the man finished before flashing a smile at Black*Star, who slung an arm around Soul before he could even heave a grunt in protest.

“Yea, our new friend here will have to look his best if he wants to be affiliated with a god like me. We’ll give back your date round’ noon Maka, hope you don’t miss him too much until then,” Black*Star announced while watching Maka’s hands ball up in irritation.

“I already told you, he’s not my-“

“Ah…as great as that offer sounds, I really don’t think it’d be right for me to leave in the middle of the workday,” Soul grunted before Maka could finish her statement, causing the woman to slightly loosen the tension that had settled around her jaw.

“It’s alright Soul, you’ve only got a few drawers left in your bag. It shouldn’t be that hard for me to finish up,” she added before giving him a small smile in encouragement.

The clothing isn’t really what I’m worried about the man thought to himself before meeting Maka’s benign gaze.

“You’re…sure?” he eventually questioned, prompting Maka to let out a giggle before lightly sliding a few of her fingers towards his palm.

“Yes, I’m positive. Just…enjoy yourself and meet me at the town library around one-o’clock,” she slowly whispered.

Guess we’re both thinkin’ the same thing Soul noted as his eyes took in the evident look of worry in Maka’s emerald pupils.

“Alright…just be careful,” he replied before enveloping his hand over her fingers.

“I could say the same for you,” Maka scoffed as her thumb began to caress the soft skin of his fingers.

“You two about done?” they both heard Black*Star call from just a few feet away, which immediately caused them to untwine their hands.

“Let’s-uh get going,” Soul added while attempting to divert his attention away from the pulsating warmth that had spread across his cheeks.

“Alright, the twins are gonna love having you for practice. I do have to warn you about…” Kilik commented as they followed his lead, although Soul appeared to be much too busy flashing Maka a final smirk in farewell as she gave him a staggering wave in response.

——————————————————

“Are these the only books you have?” Maka exclaimed to the clerk, who sighed once more.

“For the fifth time, yes this is all we have. If you really want to broaden your literary knowledge that much, there’s this town a lil’ over an hour from here by train that has both a library and a university,” he added as Maka to cringed outwardly at the statement.

“I’ll just-look through these shelves again,” she murmured before the man gave her a lazy shrug and ran his hand through his jet-black hair.

It’s not as if anyone knows about papa or why I even left town…but still- Maka thought to herself as she thumbed the spines of each book that came into reach, all while resisting the urge to bolt out the library and track down where Black*Star had taken Soul so that she could finally have a distraction from her impeding thoughts.

“HARV, IM GONNA NEED TO SEE A LIST OF-“ a voice boomed before Maka could even decipher what her mind had been meaning to convey with the last portion of that thought.

She turned around and came face-to-face with Ox Ford, causing the woman to let out a strangled yelp in both suprise and indignation.

“Maka Albarn?” the man in front of her gasped while Maka resisted the urge of bashing Ox’s cranium with a book before propelling her legs into a sprint that would get her anywhere but the building she was currently standing within.

—————————————

“He’s my customer, Fire!” the girl behind him huffed towards her brother, who had a firm hand clasped onto Soul’s scalp.

“All I’m asking is to braid his hair after you cut it,” the boy added before giving Soul’s head a hasty shake, which elicited a yelp in protest from the man.

“Neither of you is gonna have any hair to practice with if you keep gripping him like that,” Kilik interjected before lightly swatting Fire’s hand away, allowing Soul to watch the pair’s eyes widen in realization through the smooth mirror in front of him .

The teens then zipped towards the front of the chair in order to meet the man’s startled expression.

“We’re sorry,” they spoke in unison, causing Soul to let out a sigh before regarding them with a weary smile.

“S’alright,” he mumbled and was rewarded with a large grin from both of the twins.

“I was thinkin’ about trimming the back edges, if that’s alright with you sir?” Thunder spoke before grabbing a pair of scissors and gently patting down a few stray ends of Soul’s hair.

“That’s cool. And you can just call me Soul,” he added and heard the girl let out a hum in approval.

“Well, I’m heading over to the Barret-Nygus inn for my lunch break. Why not come along and convince Anglea to get her hair braided Fire?” Kilik added while Fire’s pupils slightly widened at the suggestion before scoffing at the man.

“Fineee. Let me go grab my stuff then,” he groaned before following his sister, who had gone to collect more of her equipment from a large workbench on the other side of the room.

“They’re good kids,” Soul exclaimed, causing Black*Star to let out a chuckle from his seat against one of the patterned walls of the barber shop.

“Yea, it gets a lil’ crazy with them and Angela being in their rebellious stage but we make due,” he commented as Kilik released a low chuckle of his own at the statement.

“Me n’ Star here were both teenagers when Fire,Thunder, and Angela came into town. Angela had Mifune to take the spot of a parent for her and he was more than happy to take the twins, but I decided to step up since I was just startin’ off as the sheriff and had this overblown sense of duty. Wouldn’t have it any other way now that I’m thinkin’ back at it all, even though they can be such a pain in the ass-“

“Let’s go already,” Fire spoke above Kilik as he jogged towards the group and began to tug on the older man’s shoulder.

“You wanna come too, Star?” Kilik added after a breathy laugh, which Black*Star responded to by letting out a long sigh and slumping into his chair even further.

“Nah, I’ll just stay here and entertain the new guy. See you tonight for drinks though, the usual time,” he responded while Fire dragged Kilik towards the door, opened it, and waved goodbye to everyone in the shop.

“You should join us tonight too Soul,” Kilik’s voice dully resounded from the front door, prompting Soul to reach the ends of his lips into a small smile.

The room then settled into a lazy silence, which was only interrupted for a few moments as Thunder moved her things around and began to run a water canister over Soul’s hair.

“Sooo, you gonna make good on Kilik’s offer? I wanna say ya’ won’t leave with a hangover, but that’d just be a lie,” Black*Star questioned before Soul let out a low hum in thought.

“I’d say yes but it’d probably not be safe to walk into the woods drunk, especially at night. Maka’ll probably skin me alive if she found out I did somethin’ like that anyway,” he replied while Thunder began to comb through his damp hair and snipped off a few of the edges.

“Hah, that bookworm never learned how to loosen up. She used to give me shit about a bunch of lil’ things when we were kids. Speaking of Maka-“ Black*Star added before his voice leveled into a silent whisper, prompting Soul to give the man a weary gaze from the corner of his eye.

“Does she like the job…I mean other than it being a cursed mansion and all that crap?” he murmured.

“There’s been some u-ups and downs but-“

That’s the understatement of the century Soul couldn’t help but think to himself while wondering how much information he could share with Black*Star without looking like a complete lunatic.

He’s known Maka all his life, so he’d probably believe me he assessed.

“But…?” Black*Star probed, eliciting Soul to turn his head in surprise and notice that the man’s features seemed to be held into a firm expression.

I can’t tell him. It’s not my right to go telling people what Maka has been up to, especially considering how cagey she seems to be. Poor guy seems to really care about her too, so it’d probably be better not to rope him into the shit going on back in the mansion he decided and let out a disgruntled huff once feeling his chest inflate with a dull warmth as his thoughts continued to linger upon his coworker.

“The family we work for has been pretty chill so things seem to be going good,” Soul finished before watching Black*Star silently gaze at him for a few tantalizing seconds, almost as if he was using his eyes to sift through the information he had been given.

“Great! Guess she’s doing alright without the help of my divine power,” the man shouted, completely breaking the tension that had been present a few moments ago.

“Right, whatever you say man,” Soul lightly added as Thunder tilted his head forward once more and ultimately ended their conversation.
