#late by a day so not too bad www

[stvolanis]

oh nothinggg, just thinking about Spooky x Bimbo! Reader

god, Spooky can’t stand you. always wearing those shorts—the ones that your ass cheeks hang out in. running around with your flimsy tube tops, nipples peeking through. Somehow being mixed into his brothers friend group, but not being involved in their messes. You were kinda just the friend they kept around cause your daddy sells weed to the people in Brentwood, so they got major discounts! but of course they loved you.

god, the amount of times he’s gotten a flash of the thin little hot pink thong straps you wear—or when you bend over to pick up something right in front of him; he thinks you’re doing it on purpose at this point! So he’s puzzled when you stand back up and whip around with an oblivious smile and innocent look in your eyes. He always has to do the thinking for you cause your silly brain can’t really comprehend what’s going on with the freakin roller world money your friends keep blabbering about that spooky wasn’t supposed to know about! Too bad, you already told him when you were mindlessly yapping about your day!

he would totally say something like, “didn’t know I was gettin a free show, baby.” After he walked in on your trying to shimmy off your skin tight, mid thigh dress. You blushed and weakly tried to shove him out of the room, only in your panties and matching bra. But it was like pushing a brick wall, and the way your clothed breasts pressed against him had him going crazy! So he felt like his body acted on its own when he grabbed the flesh of your ass with one hand, and your throat with the other.

He inhaled your scent, muttering a string of profanities in his mother tongue as he kissed the side of your jaw. “Been tempting me too much lately, cariño. M’only a man at the end of the day.” He breathed against you, watching the way your shorter body trembled under his touch. “I have needs. N’ it’s your job to take care of them like I always take care of you, ma.”

so of course as soon as he said that, his hand harshly pulled your bra down, exposing your breasts to him. He pinched one of your nipples, pulling it a little before releasing. Soon, your knees collided with the hard wood beneath you’d, and his cock was slapping against your cheek, leaving a trail of his sticky pre-cum. “S’right, niña. Put that pretty mouth to better use.” He smirked—that fucking smirk. The one that made you week in the knees.

You knew you were done for.

y'know what, you've got me thinking about arknights now, and I'm legit tempted- but I have been dodging gacha like neo in the matrix on the basis of various unpleasant parts of gacha.

You know Arknights better than I do, so I got two quick questions-

how much does it hurt to get a late start? Like, if I wasn't a day 1 player, how bad does it feel to try to catch up?

How FOMO is the gacha? [glancing at FGO] like, is everything banner-limited with a loose expectation of never seeing it again, or do I have a reasonable chance to get the super cool operators I hear about?

its moth!!! <33 okok so here is my answers:

It never hurts actually! Because arknights understands what the players need and so they add good QoLs and UI etc. every update. All and every past events are stored in the game and you can play it with no deadline!! You have everything waiting for you including gacha bonuses you just have to literally worry about making strategies and upgrading operators (equivalent of Servants in FGO) to progress through story

Gacha is hundreeeeeeds decent than FGO. still its gacha so dont expect too high! but pity is pretty really good!!! you earn gacha currency easily as well!! Not to mention, once you play a stage once, you can simply run the game on its own (auto-play) than making you do it again manually.

UI changing and backgrounds you can get as you complete main stories and events (ignore my fucking yellow stones arturia didnt come home right now wwww)

then heres the list of the oldest events even far back as 2019

For cool operators we have literally hundreds designed by ASK, kuroblood, alcehmaniac, namie, noriZC, anmi, skade, yuji etc but in terms of character they're all so cool and lore is just chef's kiss too haha (do NOT ask me about my fav chara i would explode and be unable to answer <3)

But! we do have banner limited! and istg i have nightmares about getting the Limited 6 stars to this day... still you can get the regular 6 stars which they can be hundreds better depending on your taste in terms of design or in strategy since limited 6 stars tend to be extremely broken in the game that i have to hold off on using them sometimes to spend time with lower-star units www

still story is reaaally good! Many complain about wordiness.. which is true... but definitely worth it and i recommend it 👍 all stories available no matter how old it is, and you can skip it if you dont have time to read but it really is good!!

the bitch you have to worry about is just boss stages and making up strategies which if youre having trouble, oyuki, eckogen or kyostinv in youtube is there? www

(putting what the gudas' seiyuus voiced in the game for further convincing <3 but toshiyuki toyonaga isnt here yet... but merlin's VA is here as well as tohsaka's lol, NATURALLY we have ayako kawasumi here too )

[mochashot]

hello hellooo!! :]

idk if your christmas request is still open but can i request a rinne fanfic where he and reader cuddles on the couch, theyre both arguing on which movie they should watch before rinne decided to put on a cheesy christmas romcom and hid the remote away from reader so that they cant change it? just to fuck with them a little yknow www,, im not even a rinne fan i just thought that idea would be funny.. you can ignore if youd like!!

i hope youre having a nice day!!

FUCKKK I FORGOT TO SAVE MY STUFF ANF TUMBLR DELETE IT. AND SORRY THIS IS A LATE RESPONSE

You know you love me anyway~

Rinne x gn reade

Type:fluff

Tw/cw: cursing at each other playfully, nickname bae(look okay idk what nicknames for him to call you😭), calling him jackass

A/n:sorry request are taking awhile, I've been trying to find motivation 😫 .

You and Rinnie decide to have a movie night before Christmas eve. Rinne left to fetch snacks while you at home prepared everything else.

You herd the door open knowing Rinnie is back,

"Rinne get your butt here, you took too long." Complaining as you open the covers for him

"Yeah Yeah, my bad the line was long." Plopping down next to you and pulling you closer. Looking at the screen seeing what movie you're picking.

Being the shit he is, put his hands under your shirt and starts to tickle you with his cold hands making yelp and squirm while laughing. Once you put your arms up he snatched the remote out of your hand and changed the movie.

"This movie is much better than the one you picked." Smirking at you, you rolled your eyes and snatched the remote back and changed it. Making Rinnie pout

Making this continue for 5 minutes

You decided to get your phone and search up Christmas movies, as you left Rinne took the remote and changed it "California Christmas".

Holding a grin and hiding the remote on a higher shelf where you can't reach. Letting out small giggles as he hurry back to the couch trying to calm himself so you don't suspect anything.

"BAE, hurry I got the movie on." Making you walk faster back and hurry under the covers with him. The moment you saw the screen you side eye him with annoyance.

"Are you shitting me right now?" Face not pleased but almost slightly amused.

"Kyahahah, aw stop with the face." Looking at you with a silly grin. He wrapped his arms around you pulling you close while smiling playfully.

Chuckling knowing you can't do anything shaking your head, as you lean into his hold.

"You're a jackass you know that" saying with annoyance while smiling, hiding your head in his neck.

"You know you love me anyway~". Pressing a kiss on your shoulder while you both laughed.

A/n: I hope this comes to your satisfaction <3 happy late Merry Christmas and Early New year.

Among the mountain of presents delivered to her birthday, somehow a certain simple but peculiar package wrapping in the neat piece of cloth has caught her eye.

With a letter attached between the folds of cloth, the renowned MMA fighter and descendant of Viking warriors picks it up and give it some read;

“Hello Iwasaki-san and greetings Taito Division. This letter is from Nara Division and recently this season has become my turn to deliver our birthday blessings on account of the rest of my team www. 

Unfortunately, I still have classes and a work shift today so I can’t deliver them in person, but if you’re reading this, then I guess our presents are safely sent to your home. Now, let me introduce what we’ve chosen as your birthday gifts.

I’ll go with Hi-chan’s first!

He made you the Hourai manju. If I remember correctly, they’re believed to bring happiness and are quite the good picks for the celebration …and also the wedding —That may be why he wants to send both of you some little gifts since we’re a bit late in knowing your good news with Kirumi-san (Well, congratulations again to your wedding!). Maybe we should enjoy life like enjoy these manju; looking plain from the outside, some of us may never expect to find a lot of small colorful manju packed inside unless you want to savor them. 

And next one is Saigo-san’s Narazake. 

Well, it would be a lie if I say I’m not biased to anything related to my hometown (I also don’t know much about liquor btw). Still, I want to insist that the sake from our hometown is the top-graded one! Granted that they are chosen by that picky old man of all people.

And we’ve come to the last;

Japan’s summer has always felt a bit overbearing as of late. Also, at this time around, heat stroke has become rather popular in not a good way. So, it makes me think maybe I should send something that can help beat these crazy heatwaves… 

Hanging around your neck, it’s a portable neck fan; light, rechargeable, and doesn’t contain any blades inside! It has no need to be worried of getting your hairs caught up in the device as well.

Lastly; Happy Birthday, Stay hydrated, and please don’t do too much work-out during the death heat of the day.

—Hope you and your team have a great (and safe) summer

Yuuya Kanata”

Looking at the box wrapped in the red cloth, the MMA fighter cocked an eyebrow as she held the box in one hand and read the letter attached to it in the other. Blinking with her one good eye, she shrugged as she opened the package and looked at the manjū. Biting into one of them, her mouth experienced many different flavors, some good and some... out there. It wasn't bad, but she didn't know if she could eat these things on a daily basis. Shrugging, Eldrid finished it off and left the remaining one for her wife, Kirumi when she returned home.

Looking at the next gift, Eldrid smiled at the sake bottles. Ever since she had married Kirumi, she tried to control her drinking to only three or four times a week. She would just count this as one of those days.

"I'll save you three for later tonight," Eldrid said, putting the bottles in her fridge.

Looking at the other gift, Eldrid's eyes grew as looked at the neck fan. She had been wanting to buy one of these for the longest ever since Summer started but had never found time or had been putting it off. Placing the device around her neck, she turned it on and felt a blast of cold air hit her, making her smile.

"Better break this thing in now while I can." She said as she headed to her room, coming out three minutes later in her jogging outfit. "Yuma, I'm going for a run. Call me if you need something."

With that, the MMA fighter opened the door and started off down the street until she was out of sight. Today was shaping up to be a good birthday.

Thanks for the gift!

WWW IGNORE ME POPPING IN A SECOND TIME!!!! 😔🫶 just that I saw other submissions and was like WHOOPSIES I probs could’ve given ya a better ver SO HERES PT 2!!!

Ashi as we all know and love is SUUUUPER peppy super cute super adorbs. 🤔 kinda like a dream girl almost but the thing is that she’s like suuuper shallow?? JUST LIKE HER PERSONALITY IS 2D LIKE…….. 🫣🫣 in reality she can be super crude and realistic and aggressive, but it takes a LONG while or you playing your cards right to get that side of her out there <3 she’s such a flirt but if you hit her back she is STUNNED and has no idea what to do 😭😭😭

ON ANOTHER HAND….. I HAVE A LOTTA BETA OCS but I’ll bring back cooper for this one too!! cooper to say the least is. an a-hole and altho he’s v tiny he can have a sailor mouth sometimes 😔 he’s suuuuper unfamiliar w affection and stuff like that so he’s a really big tsundere too!!! HES REALLY SMART THO and is a wee inventor himself <3 in his mind he figures being smaller than him is a must-have in a relationship but maaaayhaps he’s just in denial of how much he likes to be held 🤔🤔🤔

IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY MY FUCKING NOTES APP IMPLODED3987283&(*&&*(&*

Ashi

I AM GIVING HER GRAHAM.

Rev when😇 peppy girl meets stubborn boy 😇 I am insane.

I love it when characters are foils to each other and Ashi/Graham fit that bill. Ashi who’s perfected her shallow personality vs Graham who’s cruelly honest for better and worse. They both pull out the best qualities in each other as they do the bad ones. 

ON THE FLIRTING…I can see Graham growing a spine one day and muttering out a comeback ejhjrhje. Gets Ashi red even if he wasn’t confident with it.

Cooper

I literally just released her but Bridget…Rocker girl and nerd boy….stews in my brain.

When u both had ur bodies modified in horrific ways and while u now have great power the scars will always remain oh and they both hate veggies ehe.

BRIDGET CALLING COOPER COOL… Saying his “edgy personality” really metal. Laughs when he gets flustered by that herheghegrghre

I can see their relationship being a vvv healing one? Bridget reintroducing him to affection…Cooper helping her with her lost memories…cries

ToG Read-A-Long, Kingdom of Ash, day 5

Ch 35

Oh, my god, the Rowaelin reunion. YOU GUYS. I love him. 🥺

“And if Maeve meant to bring that army to Terrasen, to either unite with Erawan or simply be another force battering their kingdom, to strike when they were weakest, they had to hurry. Had to get back. Immediately. His mate's eves shone with the same understanding and dread.”

Yeah. What IS she planning? She wants to take over the world, right? Not with Erawan. She wants to rule on her own, and she likes this world, the delights of it, vs Erawan who is all doom and gloom and bent on conquering and making the world terrible. Not saying Maeve isn’t a vile and awful monster - who needs to be dealt with - but as far as the two of them go, Erawan is the bigger threat to their lives and the planet as a whole. Maeve can kinda just chill on a continent across the sea and rule as if she’s a fae queen and be on her own for a thousand years.

Ch 36

Slow boat ride through a dark cavern with glow worm lanterns and spooky little folk as your guides

Elide! When are you gonna make up with Lorcan, he said he was sorry. He’s atoned. C’mon.

Ch 37

“He clenched his teeth. This was where they'd have it out, then. "How much longer am I supposed to atone?"”

Lol it’s just like I said!!! I mean, Elide, c’mon! It’s fine to break up if you don’t actually want to be together. But I see no sense in drawing out this fight! You’re all together now, you’re in this with the good guys, and he cares about you, and you care about him, and why are we fighting? There are bigger things at play, here.

Aww www the scene with the wedding rings. How perfectly Rowaelin. I love how he wanted to wear the ring with the emerald. Rowan you’re the cutest.

Ch 38

Have you ever played Undertale! The “stars” that are actually glow worms and a reflection on black water deeply reminds me of the Waterfall level in Undertale

Ch 39

So I wanna know. Is Father Westfall gonna turn out to be a good dude? He seems kinda like he might be working on trying to redeem himself. I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE, lol, who’s still bad?

Yrene take your contraceptive tea you dummy! So irresponsible, smh (I guess it’s too late now)(but it’s such a bad time for an unplanned pregnancy NOW when the whole world is at stake and there’s nothing but battle and war and sadness on the horizon!) (and your LIFE FORCE is tied to HIS LIFE FORCE) (lol girl - I wish you had thought ahead at all) (I mean I guess Chaol is also partially to blame here) (god you two are both so irresponsible - how could you)

Ch 40

Idk what’s going on with these two.

Like, yeah, sure, Manon, you should really try and turn all the Ironteeth witches to your side, but you’ve been kinda ruthless IN THIS BOOK even, and y’know… just be careful, I guess. I guess I want to see her do it - but I’m not sure.

And then there’s Dorian, ugh, what the heck are you doing??? Is every romance just gonna break up, I’m just…. Frustrated, lol. I get it. Wyrdkeys are *also important* and you are *also capable* but you don’t gotta do everything by yourself.

I’m just frustrated in general right now. This book’s really long. I can’t figure out where we are in the structure of the story. I still feel like not…. Much…. Has happened, yet. And I’m growing anxious, because I feel like super big things need to happen before the end… yeah, idk!

I believe in you, Dorian. I know you can do it. I believe in you, Manon. I know you can do it too! I just don’t have time for this breakup, lol.

Ch 41

*sigh* I just love Rowaelin. They went through a lot to get here. My heart is so full.

Ch 42

You guys think Aedion is gonna be happy when he sees Aelin again - or is he gonna be righteously angry because she came home with two brand new blood oaths when she promised to make a blood path with him

(I think he’s probably over it, lol, he’ll probably just be happy that she’s not dead) (but idk, he can be kinda a pain in the butt about random things) (we love you Aedion)

I’m still struggling lol but hey I made it before midnight, so this is still technically day 5

(Gonna try to get my reading done earlier in the day tomorrow)

(No promises)

(Life - ya know!)

[mistresspandorawritesthings]

We All Lived Two Lives Back Then.

Let's talk about the old days of the internet. The days when dial up was literally the only option. When it was the Wild West or the Frontier and it was strange and frightening. When social media wasn't a thing, when it was chat rooms and message boards and AIM, or MSNmessenger if you were fancy. When you had to type in both the http:// AND the www. to get where you were going.

Yeah, the late 1900s (which is a phrase that automatically makes anyone with a birth year starting with a 1 feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up).

Back then, the internet was full of predators. That cool kid you're talking to in a chat room who is just like you? Is actually a 40 year old pedophile looking for prey. Never ever ever answer when someone asks you "a/s/l?" If a website requires your location, just give the continent you're on, or lie. Never ever give out your real name. Never say where you go to school. Don't say what grade you're in. Be mysterious. Be secretive. Secretive = safe. Why, just last week, we were told, some teenager met the person they were "online dating" and he was lying about his age and murdered her, do you want to be next???

Because back then, the only time the internet was in the news was when something horrible happened, so the worst humanity had to offer was always in the forefront of our minds. And they were all online.

Now, we can see this as hyperbole, that idea that "everyone" is dangerous. No, most people aren't, and they weren't then. But we erred on the side of caution back then.

Then came Facebook and their culture of accountability. Zuck and his idea that everyone should be open and honest and forthcoming online. And for whatever stupid reason, we bought into it. For some reason we decided as a species that we wanted to know every thought everyone we have ever known ever had. For some reason, we thought that if we were using our real identities, the bad guys would too. Besides! If you don't use your real name, how will people you know find you??

😑 How indeed. Suddenly, the focus of being online ceased being, "Be as anonymous as you can" and morphed into "people finding you is a good thing." Talk about a 180.

Are we surprised then, that the threat of being stalked and doxxed is so real and frightening?

We were told in the time of the telecommunications equivalent of the horse and cart that what is online is online forever. When did we stop reminding ourselves that? When did parents stop telling their kids about this? And it's all connected too, more so now than ever. We have too many things to login to to have a separate identity at every single one. We forget to disallow sites to collect and use our location data. We think "sure if someone knows this email address, they can use it to find me here."

What we should be thinking is, "Oh shit, if someone knows this email address they can use it to find me here 😳."

Back in the day, we guarded our fandom personas from our real lives, FIERCELY. Because, omg, if someone I know IRL finds my grocities, I will DIE and this is not an exaggeration. But also, Omg if n00beater69 finds me on my family MySpace, he'll tell my mom I rec'd lemons.

And no one wants their mom to know about the lemons.

We all lived two lives. And it was normal.

Now, it's not healthy to live in a constant state of paranoia and distrust and fear. But just because you're NOT paranoid doesn't mean a monster isn't waiting to eat your face.

All this to say, Auntie Pan has some well-intended advice based on a lot of experience.

Live two lives. It's okay. Protect yourselves and your families by being secretive and mysterious.

Use a pseudonym and don't give out your real name. I'd answer to Pan in public if someone called me that. I'd probably still look up if I heard someone call me by my first fandom alias.

Use a separate email address for your fandom activity. Do NOT use your school or work email for this. If masked marauders aren't watching you, your organization IS. This also puts your at greater risk of doxxing. (BTW, you should also know your organization's social media policy, because they still apply when you're off the clock or not in class.)

Check your privacy and security settings for ALL of your social media accounts. Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, AO3, Pillowfort, freaking pornhub. Lock that shit down.

Use a VPN. Put one on your phone and your computers and your tablets.

And trust your gut. If someone is asking you a lot of personal questions, assume they're dangerous. That's not being rude, that's being safe. Auntie Pan says you can and SHOULD leave a situation if you feel uncomfortable.

I should’ve seen the pain//Drew Starkey x reader

requested?: yessss “Can you do something about your first fight with Drew? I wanna know what he'd be like in a fight/argument cuz he just seems so baby and soft and I can't see him get angry, but then he's so the type to forget about it and comfort you when he sees he's made you cry. Also think he would let you go to bed angry with each other. Could you maybe turn this into a fic or something please?”

A/N: i wrote it a tiny bit differently that the request but i hope you still like it

summary: your first argument/fight with Drew

warnings: angst, a few curse words, grammar mistakes probably, my bad writing ig idk

WC: 1075

(NOT MY GIF, CREDS TO THE OWNER!!!)

You knew what you got yourself into when you started dating Drew Starkey. You knew the risks and all the ups and downs of it. And you also knew it wasn’t going to be easy.

One of the problems was that Drew’s work schedule was inconsistent and it made it hard for you and Drew to find the time to spend some time together. Sometimes you felt like he was prioritizing his career over you. 

Of course, you were proud of him and where he was now, but he focused so much on his work that he barely had time for you.

And it upset you. He left early in the morning even before you woke up and came home late at night when you were already asleep.

You were the type of person that kept all of their problems to themselves. You didn’t like to talk about your feelings that much because you felt like you were annoying everyone around you.

Yet again, you found yourself alone at home, sitting on the couch, a random tv-show playing on tv. You didn’t pay much attention to it though. Your mind and thoughts were elsewhere.

You missed Drew. So much. It was one of those nights where you needed him the most. Honestly, you weren’t feeling that great. All the stress from your own work was building upon you and you just wanted to be between the arms of the man you loved the most.

You left him a few text messages, not bothering to call. He wouldn’t have answered.

You sat on the couch for hours until your eyes just couldn’t stay open anymore.

The next morning you woke up to the sound of the front door opening and closing. You weren’t sure if Drew had just arrived home or gone to work. Looking at the alarm clock next to your bed, it was almost 8 a.m. You had to be at work in an hour.

So you got out of bed and got dressed for the day. You brushed your teeth, made your hair look presentable, and put on some light makeup to cover up the dark circles around your eyes from the lack of sleep.

When you were done getting ready you made your way to the kitchen to make some breakfast for yourself.

“Hey, darling!” Drew greeted you, wrapping his arms around you from behind.

You didn’t say anything back to him and continued making your breakfast.

“I got your messages. You want to talk about it?” 

You shook your head. “Not anymore.”

“Are you sure?” he asked again. You knew he was worried about you but it was a bit too late now.

“If you don’t mind, I’m running late for work. Please let go of me.” Hearing you say these last words to him, broke his heart. He just wanted to help.

He let go of you and took a step back to give you some space.

“Have I done something wrong?”

You turned around to look at him dead in the eye. “Have you, Drew?”

“Please just tell me, so I can fix this.”

“Tell you what? That I barely get to see you anymore? That I have to go to sleep alone every fucking night? That I don’t know anything about your whereabouts? That I’ve been feeling like shit recently and you haven’t been there for me? Huh? Is that what you want to hear? I feel like we’re not even in a relationship anymore. And it’s breaking me, Drew.”

“I know that I’m barely home but what do you expect me to do? Quit my job? Y/N, you know it isn’t that easy.” He slammed his hand on the kitchen table, making you flinch. 

His facial expressions softened when he saw the tears rolling down your cheeks. “Y/n-” He tried to come closer to you and hug you put you toom a step back.

“I don’t want you to quit your job. Maybe come home earlier sometimes or take a day off. I’m just asking you to be here for me when I need you.”

And with that, you rushed past him.

The whole day at work you couldn’t get your mind off of the argument you had in the morning. It was eating you alive. It was your first argument with Drew.

The words that were said that morning were tearing you apart.

Arriving at home in the evening, you were surprised to see Drew there.

“What are you doing here?” you asked, dropping your purse onto the couch.

“Can’t I be in my own house anymore?” he asked sarcastically.

You crossed your arms on your chest. “You know what I meant.”

“I came home early today. Just like you asked me to. You should be happy.”

You scoffed. “I should be happy? Are you fucking mental? Screw this, I’m leaving.”

Picking your purse off the couch and turning around, you started making your way back towards the front door.

But Drew wasn’t going to let you leave. He was faster than you, so he ran in front of you and stood in front of the door.

“Get out of my way, please.”

“No.”

“Drew,” you said in a warning tone.

“I’m not letting you leave. I want to fix this. Fix us.”

“Let. Me. Go.”

“No.”

You started hitting him in the chest with your fists, but he didn’t even move an inch.

That’s when you broke down again and started sobbing uncontrollably. Drew wrapped his arms around you and pulled you against him. You cried into his chest, making the front of his shirt wet.

“I can’t take this anymore,” you sobbed.

“I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. I should’ve been home more. I should’ve seen the pain that you were in. The pain that I was causing. I can’t express to you how sorry I am.”

“I’m sorry too. For saying all those things in the morning. I should’ve just not said anything.”

“No, don’t be sorry. This is all entirely my fault. I’m sorry for causing all of this.”

He placed a small kiss on top of your head and pulled you even closer to him if it was possible.

“We should both take a few days off. What do you think?” he asked.

You moved your head a bit so you could look him in the eyes and give him a small smile.

“I’d love that.”

Alright, so notice. Most of you probably know this, since you're following me for the Autistic Levi stuff (thank you, we're closing in on 100 followers!!!!), but people with autism can have "tantrums". I've kinda touched on this in a previous post (it's a full meltdown, but you can see that post here https://www-artforoddballs.tumblr.com/post/644803780958879744/autistic-levi-angstkinda-i-guess-this-is-him). For those of you who DON'T know, an autistic tantrum is not the same thing as what you'd think of in regards to a toddler or kid, it's just the word used for it. This is a mistake my mother and I made when getting the paperwork done while I was going through testing that later got cleared up lol

I had a tantrum yesterday, and so I figured that I could post about Leviathan having a tantrum, since it's still ready on my mind. I don't care if anyone else is proud of me for coping with it as well as I did, since it's a major improvement from last time I had one, but I am proud of myself!...with that in mind, here we go!!

There will be some angst in this post, like the last post in relation to this one, but like the last post, it turns out fine.

However.

Trigger warning for things such as self harm, both physical and verbal. If you or a loved one is self harming, either reach out to someone for help or reach out to that person to help, yeah?

OK on with the post.

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

First of all, Levi's autism is part of why his brothers always agree to help when there's a raffle for tickets or something like that on the DDD messages, because he can get overwhelmed if they don't at least help, even if he doesn't win in the end.

They figured out that his autism was the culprit for this shortly after his diagnosis.

Now when I'm writing for Levi, I like to think that his diagnosis was around the early 1990s since, while autism was a separate diagnosis in 1980, it didn't really start becoming fairly accepted and expanded upon until 1987. Hence why everyone is mostly used to it by now, but are still sometimes off put by his odd behavior; for them, as beings that have been around since...the beginning of the universe, pretty much as far as we know, but for at LEAST since humans were around (so at VERY least 2.5 million years now, but potentially up to around 7 million years (if they haven't been around since the beginning of creation)), this would be like...I dunno, give me a second.

Waiting

Waiting...

Okay, so from 1990(earliest year I have in mind) to 2019 (the year it was released) is 29 years. That's a minimum of 1/86,206.89th of their lifespan, and a maximum of 1/475,862,068.96th of their total lifetime.

So this is a VERY recent development for them on the grand scheme of things, but I digress.

So they're still figuring everything out, especially as the human race continues to learn about the condition itself.

So the first time Levi threw a tantrum and they recognized it for what it was...it was certainly interesting.

What had happened was exactly the situation described; Levi had wanted to go to a concert in the human world and they were raffling off free tickets. Except, unlike now, his brothers hadn't offered their support. They hadn't in the past, why would this time be any different?

Except now they viewed it through a different light. Leviathan had an image in his head that he desired so badly and had asked his brothers to support him, hopeful, only to be rejected at every turn. That he was used to, but it was still upsetting.

He put that to the side, though. He really wanted to see this band, and these were VIP tickets where you got to hang out with the band for a few hours after the concert! They'd cost a LOT of human money, and while they COULD afford it, he knew Lucifer would be bringing hell down upon him if he used that amount of family funds on a concert. And his anxiety was already somewhat raised, so he decided to enter the raffle on his own.

He sat there for hours, waiting for the results to come in. He'd hyped this up in his brain the entire time; He'd win, go to an amazing concert, have dinner with the band, maybe even make some friends....!...and then the results came back. He hadn't won.

As per usual, our snek boi went into one of his rants about how unfair it was, but instead of going on a rampage or something like that, locked himself up in his room and cried, hating himself for getting so excited over nothing.

As I mentioned before, I've made another post about a tantrum/getting too overwhelmed slipping into something even more dire, as that's almost always what happens to me. This would be in the 90s, so this would be their first real incident with one of these moments where they had the proper diagnosis, so bear with me, there will be some angst here, but like the other post, it'll be fine.

So Mammon ends up feeling bad for rejecting his little brother, and, not knowing it was too late, decided to go to his room and offer his support. It was almost Leviathan's birthday anyways, and Mammon knew how rejection felt and how much it sucked. So, he knocked on Leviathan's door.

No response. He knocked again...still no response, but a quiet sob.

Right away, Mammon switched from semi-carefree to worried. "Levi...?"

Again, no response. He decided to just go in and check on his brother...

The door was locked. And he smelled blood.

"Leviathan, I need you to open the door," Mammon said with a half hearted chuckle, his voice now becoming slightly strained. "Because if ya don't, I'm gonna have t' break the door down."

"Just go away!" Leviathan cried from inside his room. "Just leave me alone, you jerk!"

"I ain't goin' anywhere. Either open the door or I'm gonna break it down. Those are your two choices."

A moment of silence, before Mammon sighs, stretching, as he transforms into his demon form.

"Alright, option two it is."

He rammed into the door repeatedly, before the wood finally splintered and fell to the ground with a loud thud. Mammon quickly looked around, eyes widening as he saw Leviathan digging his own sharpened nails into his arms, multiple raked wounds, made by the same culprit, carved into his skin.

"Levi...look at ya..." Mammon said, voice faltering, tears welling up in his eyes. "I...how long has..."

"Just shut up! Don't act like you care about me, I'm the freak of our family, remember?! I'm the one whose brain isn't right, I'm just a shut-in, good for nothing, re-!"

He was quickly cut off by Mammon going to him and hugging him.

"I don't care who you are. You talk about my brother like that again and I'll kill you. Alright? You're a little off, but you ain't a freak, and your brain works just fine as is. You're perfect just the way you are, and if anybody else says any different, I'm gonna beat them the fuck up. Including you. Got that? So what if you've got that fancy lable on ya now...? Labels like that matter, but it didn't change ya. You're still my cringe, annoying as hell little weirdo of a brother...and I wouldn't have ya any other way."

Leviathan fully listened to Mammon talk, before clinging to him, breaking down sobbing again, and trying to explain what happened through his tears, the older demon gently rubbing his back and allowing him to cry it out, making sure no more harm was done.

A while later, once Levi had calmed down, Mammon ruffled his hair.

"Let's get you cleaned up, yeah? Lucifer is already gonna kill me for breaking your door, but he'd be even more pissed if I just left you here with those wounds."

So they did. And Mammon, after telling a VERY angry Lucifer what had happened hours later, had surprisingly NOT gotten chewed out by the eldest brother. Instead, that day, the entire family had a long discussion, and they all agreed that if it was something as small as entering a raffle, or even if it was bigger but not an inconvenience to anyone in the slightest, they'd all help out from then on. It's not like it was hard, and it would save Levi from hours of stress and negativity toward himself and others around him.

They also made a plan for if a tantrum were to happen while someone was around, or if he became too overwhelmed and started to spiral...because, as annoying as he could be, Leviathan was still family. And they loved him, oddities and all.

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

Alright, so...that was the post! I hope it was okay. I know I've written about this type of thing before a little, but different situations can end up with the same negative outcome, like being in an overwhelming situation, or not being able to change your thinking and not easily being able to get over your expectations. I've personally suffered with both, and it's a regular thing for me, so I like writing about it, because maybe, just maybe, it'll help someone out, or help someone that isn't autistic understand a friend or relative or classmate or employee better. And I love these characters, I really do. The only ironic thing is that I see so much of myself in Leviathan, but I adore him and despise myself. Go figure 😂

Regardless, I hope you enjoyed, and if there's anything you guys have questions about (in regards to me and my experience), or any specific writing requests, asks are fully open!

Thanks so much for being here to support me, you have no idea how much it means to a little oddball such as myself.

[boxofbadaddiction]

Thinking about...

How Ron started working for George at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

My theory, or headcanon (however you'd like to look at it), is that Molly proposed the idea...and George absolutely hated that suggestion.

But not because it's Ron.

He hated it because never in his life would George have imagined himself doing what he does without his Twin, and the thought of 'replacing him' causes bile to rise in his throat.

It would take many days of denial, small arguments and George finally reaching his breaking point to consider the idea that: perhaps Ron wouldn't be such a bad addition to the team...

I imagine it's sometime after the War and George has finally brought himself to reopen the store. Maybe it's only been back in business a couple weeks or for a few months now, but he's struggling a little bit. Because he doesn't want to admit he needs another worker around to take some of the load off his shoulders. And a little more than that: he just doesn't want to do it with anyone other than Fred.

Meanwhile, Ron is struggling to find work or get placement in Auror training. Because let's face it: even though he is Harry Potter's right hand man and helped win a War; his grades were...unideal.

I see Ron venting to Molly one day in the kitchen, perhaps after receiving another rejection letter, and she's running a loving hand in comforting circles over his shoulders while he's slumped over a hot chocolate. She's telling him to hang in there and that these things take time, offering that perhaps he should look into a part-time role with his Father within the Ministry. Or reminding him that Percy offered him an internship in his office.

But Ron hates both those ideas.

At this point George walks through the door looking exhausted. Greets the pair casually as he shrugs off his jacket and throws it over the back of a chair. He places a quick kiss to Molly's cheek and ruffles Ronniekin's hair as he moves to make himself a hot drink to wind down after a busy day.

"Hello Dear, busy day?" Molly smiles somewhat sadly, taking in her son's tired figure.

"Extremely." George huffs as he sits down across from the pair with slumped posture. "What's wrong with you, Ronnie?"

"Another rejection letter." Ron replies sadly as he annoyedly flicks the cause of his dejection to the centre of the table and drops himself against the backrest of his chair, taking up a similar slouched position to his older brother.

That's when Molly's struck by the idea. As she looks between her two boys and wishes she had a solution for them...the answer so simply presents itself. But she doesn't say anything.

Not yet.

She doesn't want to get Ron's hopes up if that's something he'd be interested in, and she knows he would be given how much he loves the Twins Shop. But more than that, she doesn't want to just spring the thought onto George because she knows how touchy the topic is going to be.

And it was.

A few days after this thought comes to her she gets her opportunity to run the idea past George. The two of them are alone doing a mindless task together, like washing the dishes. George scrubbing as Molly dries.

They've worked in comfortable silence thus far, but that's because Molly's too busy running a million different ways she can bring this up to George, through her mind, and which is the least likely way to upset him. George meanwhile is just enjoying the time with his Mother and the familiarity the task at hand brings. A strange sort of nostalgia washing over him, one which he'd never consider to be as therapeutic as it was.

But there's something nagging at the back of George's mind. And it has everything to do with the fact his Mother has been dutifully drying the same glass for 5 minutes now.

"Mum..." his voice snaps Molly out of her daze, drawing a surprised hum of acknowledgement from her throat. "I'd say that glass is dry by now." George joked with a crooked smile. "Oh, yes, I suppose you're right."

Molly's slightly flustered and places the cup down. But her expression remains rather vacant, mildly discontent. This finally prompts George to ask what's on her mind. Molly decides to simply go for it. There's no easy way to bring this up around George and she's really just stalling to forgo an uncomfortable conversation.

"George, I've been thinking..."

"Not good."

"I'm serious right now."

"So am I. You thinking never means anything good for me and-...for me."

"It's about Ron and finding him a suitable job, until he's accepted into training..."

And that's how it begins. She cushions the conversation considerably before asking the question she's been stewing over for days. She talks about how disheartened Ron has been in his misfortune, how desperately he wants to be apart of the work force. She talks about how tired George has been the last few months trying to run the shop by himself and how she just wants to be able to help the two of them get on their feet.

When she finally does ask the question: "What if, Ron came and worked for you?" It doesn't go down well.

She watches how swiftly his body language changes. From his casual 'I'm listening' demeanour to instantly putting his walls up. She watches as the words cause him to freeze. Every muscle in his body turning ridged and defensive.

His response is near immediate: 'No'. And he returns to the task at hand, however, he's no longer so comfortable within the grown silence.

He holds zero care in the way he handles the dishes as he cleans them, though it's notable how hard he's trying to not take any of his frustration out on them.

The conversation doesn't stay civil for very long.

Molly falls immediately into a sort of plead as she questions why George won't even take the time to consider the idea. She points out every reason why it is the best possible solution to both his and Rons current situations.

George shuts down not really answering any of Mollys questions as she rambles. The words seemingly falling from her mouth faster than she can process them; working herself into a right fluster.

George warns her quite a few times to drop the subject, but she continues, and he finally snaps. Tossing whatever dish is in his hands down into the water and yelling for her to stop talking. To drop the conversation because it's not going to happen before storming off elsewhere to cool down.

They spent a couple days without speaking after that.

More weeks pass and Weasleys Wizard Wheezes only gets busier. George feels like he's drowning in paperwork and just can't seem to get ahead. He goes to work an hour early and comes home hours late. He's tired and just about had enough. He can't even begin to imagine how he and Fred ever found so much joy in the work as they had.

"It's not work if you love to do it." Is what Fred always used to say when people would ask how he could possibly be so happy while on the clock.

George couldn't do this much longer. Not without his brother.

After one particularly difficult day George arrives home after all other occupants of the Burrow had gone to bed...or so he thought.

Walking in through the back door to all the houses lights out, save for a single lamp in the sitting room which Arthur and Molly leave on for him, he collapses into one of the Armchairs, too tired to attempt the walk up stairs right now.

His palms dig into the sockets of his eyes, harshly rubbing at each lid, to try rid the sandy feeling in them brought on from lack of sleep, then his fingers draw down on his cheeks; pulling at the skin in frustration.

He doesn't know it but Ron is, at this point, looking at him from the staircase landing. He'd meant to come down for a cup of water but instead found himself faced with his Brother.

Or rather, the shell of his brother.

Ron's never seen him look so...hollow and lifeless. It's like a horrible flashback to those months following the loss of Fred and it makes his stomach turn.

Ron comes over and sits on the sofa opposite George, a look of sympathy and concern on his face. George tries to joke and make light of his current situation but the humour and light doesn't come close to reaching his eyes and the smile he paints on looks painful.

After a little while of trying to get George to open up, and receiving quite the snap of attitude Ron concedes. He very well would have left for bed if the hanging silence hadn't made George feel enough guilt to attempt a change in conversation.

Soon though, after the initial awkwardness subsided, they get lost in talk.

It had started as a question of how Ron's job search were going but somehow ended with the pair laughing over silly childhood memories. Something George hadn't been able to do in a while.

Something changed between both brothers that night. They'd bonded in a new way and were much closer than they likely ever had been before. Ron had even managed to spark some product inspiration in George, and over the next couple days as he tries to perfect the concept they spend more time together.

From then on, George can feel a shift in the way he views Ron and in the possibility of him working at WWW. The idea of hiring him doesn't bring that bile feeling to his throat as it does with any other name or applicant who is suggested to him.

So, when George believes he's finally perfected the new product and takes it home to show Ron, that's the day he asks Oh, Dear Ronniekin's to work for him at the shop.

Which he of course agrees to.

1. There’s actually no “bring”, but it’s an incomplete phrase that pretty obviously means that 2. This title smushes a bunch of words together: ふわふわ (fuwafuwa, fluffy or soft), あまい (amai, sweet), and のんびり (nonbiri, in a carefree/relaxed way).  Seems like food can be described as ふわあま. 3. HLD (tentatively) stands for “House of Lamentation Devils”, and NYD (tentatively) stands for 嘆きの館デビルズ (Nageki no Yakata Devils) which means the same thing! 4. End my suffering.  I ended up using the “overflow” meaning of たぎる (to boil, overflow, OR cascade down), and actually used とか to mean “among other things” instead of “or something” like I tend to here 5. The word meaning “cliche” here is ベタ (beta), which is probably on purpose, but “beta version” is ベータ so I didn’t want to use that 6. They use 子 (ko) which literally means child, but I think it’s used for a pretty wide age range colloquially. 7. 闇鍋 (yaminabe) is a type of hot pot where everyone brings random ingredients for the stew, so it’s like a potluck hot pot!  It’s also eaten in the dark, so you have no idea what it’s gonna be like.

Left in the dark

Summary:  While chatting after a long day at WWW, George asks Ron why he never asked any of his siblings for romantic advice. (WARNING- this fic does contain criticism of Fred, George and Ginny Weasley)

~~~~~~~~~

             Read on FFN.                           Read on AO3. 

~~~~~~~~~

‘So, you and Fred were both dating Lee at various points?’

‘He and Fred were. I just snogged Lee on occasion.’

The shop had shut for the day, and the takings had been counted. Ron and George were lounging in the small sitting room of the flat George had above the shop. A fire was crackling merrily nearby, and George had two glasses worth of firewhisky in his stomach. Ron -always the more practical brother- was sipping a butterbeer.

‘I did always wonder,’ Ron said, chuckling. ‘I’m guessing you told Angie?’

‘Oh, she knew about it at the time,’ George replied, smiling lazily. ‘I mean, she did walk in on Fred and Lee several times, after all.’

‘That must have been awkward.’

George giggled, taking a swig of his drink before speaking again.

‘Okay, Ron… I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while…’

‘What?’

‘How come you never asked any of us for help? You know, when you were pining after Hermione?’

Ron stared at George.

‘What are you talking about?’

‘I mean, why didn’t you ever just say to any of us “what do I do?”?’

‘Isn’t it obvious?’

‘No. You had six siblings at the time, and -to the best of my knowledge- you never asked any of us for advice. Why?’

‘C’mon, George; you really don’t want to know…’

‘I’m not a teenager anymore; I won’t make fun. I’m just curious, ‘s all.’

‘Well…’ Ron began, a little hesitantly. ‘Obviously, I couldn’t ask Bill…’

‘Why?’

‘Way too intimidating. Besides, he wasn’t around for much of that time.’

‘Fair point,’ George said, nodding. ‘I’m guessing the same was true for Charlie?’

‘Nah. Have you met Charlie? The guy’s never been interested in anyone, so how would he know what to do? Great for advice about friendships, but not romantic advice.’

‘Okay, then; Percy?’

‘Was a stuck-up git, and then left. So, no.’

George was getting a sinking feeling in the region of his stomach that he couldn’t exactly place.

‘Er… Ginny?’

‘Oh, that’d go down well,’ Ron said, rolling his eyes. ‘Asking my little sister for advice about girls. She’d never let me live it down, and she’d spent every moment looking smug. It was bad enough that she knew in sixth year that I’d never kissed anyone before Lavender. You should have seen what her and Harry used to say about me when they started dating; the way they saw it, I’d only dated Lavender so I could snog her in public. Nevermind that Lavender was actually a nice person who was there for me.’

George’s sinking feeling doubled. They were all out of siblings, except… well…

‘Me and Fred?’

‘You’re… you’re joking, right?’

The two of them stared at each other for a moment. On the one hand, George did want to know, but -on the other- he also didn’t. And he couldn’t place why. Maybe the firewhisky had affected him too much?

‘What’s that supposed to mean?!’

Ron rolled his eyes.

‘You two didn’t give me any help until after me and Lavender broke up. And -even then- it was just that book.’

‘Hey, that is a good book! Me and Fred put a lot of thought into buying you that!’

Again, Ron rolled his eyes. As if he was waiting for George to put all the obvious information together.

‘Yeah. After sixth year. After the time I actually could have used some advice and avoided all that mess.’

‘Okay, maybe we did buy the book a little too late for you. But we weren’t stopping you from asking us from advice; we were there for you. you could have asked at any time.’

Ron stared at his brother, his face a cacophony of confusion.

‘What?’

‘You could have asked us for advice,’ George repeated.

‘You never would have given me any!’ Ron exploded, leaning forwards. ‘All I would have got was “oooh, ickle Ronniekins can’t understand girls! The widdle baby needs help from his big brothers to woo Hermione! Oh, poor widdle boy!”’

George goggled at him, as if Ron had slapped him. Ron didn’t honestly believe that, did he?

‘Do you really think we would have taken the mick-’

‘Yes!’ Ron exclaimed. It seemed like he’d been holding this in for years. ‘Obviously! It wasn’t as if you two were supportive big brothers most of the time! I had that stupid song sung at me for months in fifth year, and all you two did was do stupid impressions of me missing the Quaffle. Oh, don’t act like you didn’t!’ He spat, seeing George’s shocked expression. ‘You might have thought I was stupid, but I wasn’t blind!’

George stared at him, numbly.

‘We… we didn’t think you were stupid.’

Ron chuckled mirthlessly.

‘Couldn’t have fooled me. Just because I wasn’t naturally confident around women like you, that doesn’t mean I was thick.’

George turned his head to the side, feeling even more confused.

‘Naturally confident? Me and Fred?’

‘Yeah. Just like Bill,’ Ron said, irritably. ‘You two had boatloads of confidence from the off. Even Percy had that; how do you think I felt stumbling along, not knowing how to do that?!’

‘We never did have confidence from the start! Where… where did you think we got that confidence from?’

‘Just naturally. Duh. How else do you explain it?’

‘We asked Bill for advice! No-one’s confident at that age!’

There was a billowing silence. Ron stared at George, his eyes wide with shock.

‘Wait… really?’

‘Yes! Obviously! Teenagers don’t know what they’re doing, so we asked Bill for help! He’d been around the block longer, and he knew what to do, because he’d asked dad for help! Isn’t it obvious?’

Ron blinked, his blue eyes a mix of astonishment and confusion, as if re-evaluating a multitude of different things.

‘It wasn’t obvious to me,’ Ron said, quietly. ‘I thought I was a right moron for not being confident immediately…’

The two of them went incredibly quiet, each lost in their own thoughts. Then, a question appeared in George’s mind, and he spoke again.

‘Ron, who… who did you ask for advice? I mean, before we got you that book.’

Ron’s ears went red.

‘Er…I asked dad. Towards the end of sixth year,’ he mumbled, looking embarrassed. ‘He was really good about it; told me to not assume I was bad at everything just because I was nervous. Just wish I’d been told that before.’

‘But aside from him? Did… did you not ask anyone else?’

Ron stared at George.

‘There was no-one else to ask,’ he said, bitterly. ‘Don’t you get it? I didn’t get any advice until after I dated Lavender. You all just kept going on about how thick I was, and I… I didn’t know that you were taking the mickey. You were all so confident with this stuff; I just… I thought I was just the stupid one who didn’t understand any of it.’

George’s mind was suddenly filled with memories. Of Ron eyeing Bill and Fleur at Christmas, as if hoping to pick up tips. Of Ron deliberately snatching letters from Hermione out of Errol’s claws before the rest of the Weasley siblings could see. Of Ron hiding what looked like a bottle of perfume in his shopping bag so that Fred wouldn’t notice and start laughing at him. Ron, looking frustrated and confused whenever his siblings laughed about how long he was taking to get things going with Hermione.

They… they really had messed things up for him, hadn’t they? How had they never noticed? Ron was their brother, after all, their little brother. Who they were supposed to look after. Sure, they had taken the mickey a lot, but their hearts had been in the right place, right? Ron must have known that they were always there for him… right?

No. No, Ron hadn’t known that. Ron had thought the exact opposite.

George and Fred hadn’t even taken the time to think about it, but it was no wonder that things between Ron and Hermione had taken so long to work out. Hermione was an only child, so that was understandable, but Ron… he had six siblings and yet hadn’t felt he could rely on any of them for help. He’d been struggling all that time, and none of them had ever taken the time to ask if he wanted to talk about it. Just to show Ron that the support was there for him if he ever needed it.

What was the good of having so many siblings if you couldn’t come to any of them for advice?

‘Ron… I’m… I’m sorry… we were…. We should have realised. We… we should have been there for you when you needed us.’

Ron snorted, taking a final sip of his butterbeer.

‘Yeah. What else is new?’

 ~~~~~~~~~

Hope you liked that, everyone! Hopefully, I wasn't too harsh on Ron's siblings, but I wanted to discuss this subject, since I've seen a significant amount of fics that have Ron's siblings mocking him for taking so long to get together with Hermione, despite offering him little advice or support when he could have needed it. It always seemed unfair to me, so that's why I wanted to explore Ron's reasons for not doing so, and his siblings reasons for not just asking him if he wanted advice.

what. hokuto and zhongli. what. i just woke up and i cannot process this information properly

the dango anon was too stunned to speak

and yes aaaaaa i play hypmic and was shocked when i learned about leo and samatoki has the same va… i like samatoki he’s giving me a girlboss vibes LMAOAOAOAOAOOOO his songs are giving me the urge to fistfight god and leo has a cutie vibe, like he’s cute but he can commit manslaughter.

and aaa 2wink x crazyb is making me curious about what kind of music would they make. but i’m excited. it’s nice to see himeru again 🏃🏻‍♀️ aaaand ryuseitai and knights!! my two favorite in one song! but my phone is going to explode because … 10 people… in my screen…

BAHAJSJSHWHJWJWJS WAIT SCARAMOUCHE AND SUBARU LMAOOAOOOOOO 😭😭 this is really surprising

natsume and albedo is a really good pair, they can be cocky (i remember bedo’s smug face) natsume can be albedo, sora as klee, and tsumugi can be sucrose! i think they’re cute together. albedo and natsume is my comfort character so it was nice to see of them in both of my favorite games 😋 diluc is my fav character, childe is second (sorry comrade must prioritize master diluc)

and as a former chongyun main i screamed when i first learned about his seiyuu

what ar are you in genshin ?? we can play together sometime!! no pressure though. ( ◠‿◠ )

wAIT I FORGOR TO PUT THE DANGO IN MY LAST ASK 😭😭

- 🍡, an anon that needs to shut up /hj

omg dango nonnie you like hypmic too?? ♪(´▽｀) i need to catch up with so much stuff,, mostly manga and drama cds ehehe what’s your fav division? because i struggle with choosing just one sooo much ;; i’d say it’s currently fp but bb is an extremely close second!!

aaaa i genuinely can't get out of my mind this silly idea,, leo with samatoki's skull shirt, they can bond over questionable fashion choices dfgdfg maybe leo needs a dependable older brother in his life that can get him out of trouble after all <3 in all honesty i'll say toki was one of the main reasons i got into the series because a friend showed him to me and went “angry puppy vibes you’re gonna love him he’s like koga” and here we are now www

if it makes you feel better my phone can barely handle the videos ahaha ; v ; it starts getting sooo hot and works weird so i just,, static image gang. i feel like i’m losing most of the fun so from time to time i try to play some songs with the vids! i remember doing temptation magic i think? with natsume, tsumugi rei and sora hinata and that was absolutely adorable and chaotic <333 i’m also pretty sure that i got either izumi or natsume as kaoru in melody in the dark for... mrmmm purposes

wait wait wait you're a chongyun main omg i was a chongyun main for the longest time!! he was my very first 4* and up to this day he's the only claymore user i play as!! ii love my little blue ice cream son so much,, his seiyuu was like,, one of the big reasons i wanted to play genshin soooo bad. saito soma voicing literally every character i can love and more, i could make a whole list <3 but yeah chongyun,, so underrated and i love him to pieces!!

and your taste too, childe and albedo are my top fav characters!! diluc is,, so good. so so good. gotta say i’m head over heels for kaeya but diluc? i love him tons,, the amount of fangirling i do for childe and bedo lately... absolutely off the charts. the last event ended me, albedo my beloved  o(╥﹏╥)o

i think i'm mrmmm 56 in eu server and somewhere around 28 in america? i don’t think i’ve hit 30 yet. i made an america account to play with friends but as soon as i did everyone stopped playing and i got too shy to ask ehehe so yeah i think it would be so much fun to play together (*´꒳`*) <33

kisses for you if you read until here dango nonnie ily and your asks always me super happy!! i’m sorry that i make you read this much ehehe
