Day 17: underwater

I have never written for free! But today I will, oh lord! I wanna see this Haruka once again! (Similar to ahem ahem a certain Haruka from Windbreaker)

Lee!haru / ler!makoto, ler!ikuya, ler!asahi

(Takes place during middle school of the anime Free!starting days)

The silence... the tranquillity. Haruka Nanase wishes he could stay underwater forever. No noises to bother him, no annoying teaches to chide him, no friends to offer him ceaseless attention -it is perfection.

The more his moves his hands up to the surface, the cold from the outside reminds him of the reluctance to leave the warm water that embraces him.

Liftinf his feet slightly, his toes now leaning towards the edge of the small tub, he relaxes further down, letting his head engulf within the water bodies.

Regardless... he could just forget school for once and stay here like a euphoric relm.

Little did he know that the silence was louder than noises, as he didn't hear the sound of the bathroom door slide open.

"Ugh, Haru... he's at it again..." Ikuya groans, now folding his arms as he looks at Asahi, snickering in amusement.

Makoto chuckles sweetly, "Well, he does this all the time..."

"He doesn't even know we're here"

Makoto mischievously reached out to tickle Haruka's toes, the reaction was instant when the water suddenly splashed. With Haru (unelegantly) straightening himself, jerking up and rubbing his wet face.

Ikuya and Asahi couldn't help but burst into laughter "Ahaha! Haru looked so funny! We rarely see him act so flustered!"

Asahi agreed nodding now slapping Ikuya in the back as they laughed together, "Just like you were when u tried to copy Haru!"

Ikuya's laugh cut short to a growl, "Oi!"

Makoto sighs, now crossing his arms, "Haru, we're late... what did I tell you about long baths and dreaming?"

Haru looks embarassed, his blue eyes averting sideways, "Well you didn't have to act like a mom for that"

Asahi this time grabbed Haru's ankle now scribbling away mercilessly, "Oh yh? Well you shouldn't act like a child to begin with, Haru-chan!"

Haruka groaned into giggles, now water splashing around, "S-Stohoohop, jeeheheez"

Ikuya giggles back now tickling Haru's neck, "Aw he's so ticklish... better get out or else we won't stop"

Haru scrunched his shoulder cutely, now unable to hide the uncharacteristic squeal, making them adore a sigh of endearment.

"Cute!" Asahi Yelps in surprise.

"A-Ahahalright, alright! Stahahap..." Haru managed to splash water to make them move away from him, his face redder than a cherry. Makoto grins proudly, now pulling Ikuya and Asahi away, "You have five minutes to get ready. Otherwise, another tickle fest it is... Haru-chan"

After closing the door, the other protested, "Don't call me that...!"

Ikuya grinned as they heard Haru change swiftly, "Who knew the stoic Haruka is ticklish"

Asahi coughs, "Ahem, don't think you are one to talk Ikuya..." he smirks wiggling his fingers at Ikuya who backs of with a whine, "Don't you dahahare..."

"Awwww come here, Ikuuu!"

Makoto should watch out with the way they began yo run through Haru's house, Ikuya scrambling with giggles to escape the mencing Asahi.

Well, Makoto couldn't care less. It's all Haru-chan's fault.

TickleTober2023/Day 17 - Closet

Fugō Keiji Balance: Unlimited - Daisuke x Haru

Haru busted inside the room, looking around in panic as he searched for a place to hide inside that stupidly large room. His heart was beating fast, the blood rushing through his veins was making it hard to think properly. Yet, for some reason, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling in excitement.

Among the options he had - under the bed, behind the curtains or inside the closet - Haru decided for the latter. It was easy for him to hide himself thanks to how big Daisuke’s room’s furniture was.

Closing the door just enough to keep himself hidden, Haru watched the room through a small crack as he heard the noises of the door opening again and, with it, Daisuke’s footsteps. “Where are you, you bratty idiot?” Daisuke hissed, scanning his bedroom with as much care he put up in his investigations.

“Do you think you can run from me, Haru?” The millionaire detective continued, starting to slowly walk around the place, looking for signs of Haru-activity. It wasn’t really hard to track and, soon, he started narrowing down the possibilities.

Inside the closet, Haru slapped one hand over his lips, trying to make his uneven breathing more quiet, while carefully following Daisuke with his eyes, spying him through the small crack. 

Daisuke tilted his head, catching a glance of the space underneath his bed and, no, Haru wasn’t there. “I was in the middle of an important meeting… Do you think it’s funny to tickle me out of the blue like that and just run away?” He continued his monologue, walking towards the curtains.

Without a bit of hesitation, Daisuke pushed the curtains open, letting the daylight invade his bedroom to find… no one hiding behind them. “You should know already that I don’t let this kind of behavior go unpunished, but maybe…”

Daisuke stopped, turning his head towards the closet and letting a small grin take place on his lips. “That’s what you were looking for? To be punished…”

Haru widened his eyes, quickly moving his head away from the crack and praying that Daisuke didn’t hear him gasping. He pressed his eyes shut, hearing the footsteps getting closer… closer… closer…

But, just when he thought he was going to get in, he heard the sound of the door opening again and Daisuke was nowhere to be seen. Wait, did he just leave?

Finally relaxing a bit, Haru tried to catch any noise that could come from the outside, but, even so, there was nothing. Almost as if… he was actually alone in the room.

“Found you.”

Daisuke’s stern voice suddenly warned him before both of the closet’s doors opened. Haru couldn’t help but let out a small squeal of surprise, scared as he was caught red handed. And, then, laughter.

“D-DahAHAhaisuke!! AhaAHAh, w-wahait! LehEHehet me gohOHO!!”

“So you can run away again?” Daisuke grinned, trapping Haru against the closet, among a dozen jackets and coats that were hanging over them, “not a chance, Haru.” He teased, savoring each and every second of that sweet revenge.

A/N: It's been a hot minute since I watched the show, so they may sound a bit ooc, but they are forever in my heart and I HAD to write something for them, hope you guys can understand ehe

Some underappreciated Katara ships 🌊💙

[starboysbrainrot]

“so happy the gaang got their happy ending”

what mf happy ending are we talking about exactly ?

you mean the happy ending where aang gets to live forever with the constant reminder that he is alone, that the genocide of his people happened and there is no going back ? where he has the responsibility to assure that the air nation doesn’t die off with him after his death ? where he has to forever live with the fact that he disappeared for 100 years and that the world he lives in now isn’t his. he’s a relic of the past, the testament of a forgotten culture, the last remaining of what is left of the air nomads. he’s alone, forever, at least a part of it died with his people, forever lost.

or you mean the happy ending where Katara & Sokka go back to their tribe, scarred forever by war and loss, having to rebuild the southern water tribe after 100 years of war ? having to rebuild their culture, forcefully destroyed by the fire nation ? forever living with the urge to cradle in their mother’s arms, but never quite being able to do it. Katara will forever see her mother in her brother, his face, his eyes, everything reminding her of Kya, and how she misses her. and Sokka being unable to remember his mother’s face, always ending up picturing Katara instead. even with their dad on their side, Kya will always be missing. no amount of hope, love, and support will grow them a new mother.

or you mean the happy ending where Toph goes back to her toxic parents that really couldn’t care less for who she really is ? and leaving the gaang, the only family she ever really had, who have to take on various missions around the world to rebuild it after the war ? and let’s not forget how scarred and terrified she could be after barely surviving their last battle.

or you mean the happy ending where Suki, after months in prison, simply has to go on with her life as if nothing ever happened ? as if she hadn’t rot in prison for months ? as if she hadn’t experienced the war firsthand by helping the refugees in Ba Sing Se ?

or maybe you mean the happy ending where Zuko, after living a childhood made of lies, abuse, neglect and grief, has to become fire lord at 16, with no idea on what he is doing ? after having half his face burned by his own father, for defending his nation, will experience numerous assassination attempts as a new ruler and have to rebuild the whole world because of the wrongdoings of his ancestors ? his hands are tainted red by blood that his swords didn’t shed, but the crown on his head now is his, and that’s all that matters in everyone’s eyes. that’s all that will always matter.

or maybe you mean all those other kids, that the gaang met during the series.

characters like Haru, who saw his dad being imprisoned, fearing for his life and the life of his mother everyday.

character like the freedom fighters, orphans, who had to become child soldiers in order to survive, who built a family around the hope that they were doing something right. only for it to be washed out by the destroying of a village, and the splitting up of their group.

characters like Jet, who never even got to see a life after the war, who was born in a world scarred by flames and loss, forced to become a parental figure to dozens of orphans, and who died by the hands of his very own country, forgotten forever under a lake, among other forgotten bodies.

characters like Mai or Ty Lee, that never really got to choose what they wanted to do, forcefully put into a role maintained by fear and violence. in a world that asked only thing from them : to fight.

characters like Azula, who got her whole life taken away by one cruel man, forced to become a weapon. who’s forever scarred by the way she grew up, by the way no one saved her, no one helped her, by the way she lost her mom and her brother, because of one, very, cruel man.

or Yue, who sacrificed herself for the wrongdoings of yet another man, who never got to experience adulthood, never got to experience the joy of growing up.

y’all can’t even comprehend that they are all DOOMED. they will never have a normal life after the war, never. their whole lives are forever scarred by the mistakes made by thousands of people before they were even born. they are born with tragedy, loss and war in their blood. ALL OF THEM. nothing will ever change that, no matter how good their future could be. even Aang, who was born before the war, was ultimately tainted by the horrors of it. after experiencing, seeing, all the suffering, all the wrongdoings.

they got the weight of the world and the hopes of long gone generations on their shoulders. not a single one of them got to be kids. not a single one of them got to experience a normal childhood. not a single one of them will live freely after the war. some of them won’t even live after the war.

because how. how can you forget, how can you forget 100 years of pain and suffering ?

(I know this all sounds pretty pessimistic but they all make me so, so sad… I love all of these characters so much. all of them. they make me sad in the best way possible and the tragedy of their story will forever make me cry.)

X-Men doing Karaoke

Jubilee sings Fireworks because of course she does. Complete with special effects. She’s pitchy but makes up for it with enthusiasm.

Scott and Jean duet Summer Lovin because they are disgustingly in love. Scott only mostly coerced into it. He’s is a decent singer. Jean not so much.

Hank does Ice Ice Baby. It’s the only point in which he grabs the mic, though he still sings along with the others without a microphone.

Warren and Bobby do a terrible but really funny rendition of I Want It That Way.

Storm puts on Mr. Brightside and everyone chants along to the lyrics.

Remy sings a song by Indochine for fun and/or serenades Rogue with a French love song.

Logan for the most part does not participate, just drinks his beer and judges all of them. Not for singing but for their singing like: Scott came in late. Jean’s off key. Remy breathes too loudly between phrases.

At the end of the night after too many beers, Jean gets fed up with his internal monologue of criticism and forces him to sing. He does a beautiful rendition of Kitaguni no Haru that makes Rogue (the only one who kind of knows Japanese by virtue of having absorbed Logan’s knowledge of it) nearly cry.

Curious how this will go, especially since Sokka has a way of attracting romantic partners in canon. Please reblog to get this poll more votes.

&Team member TAKI mentioned that he was surprised to see many 🐥 & 🐰 on MBC Music Core and thought that his fans were supporting him, but in reality they were Stay who carried his SKZOO.

Harua: I said hello to everyone who is a fan of 🐰, I learned that Leebit is from Lee Know sempai.

TAKI: What about the 🐥?

YUMA: This is FELIX sempai's BbokAri.

funniest thing abt the atla kids is that they're not all fatherless but they are all motherless

[doorknobsareprettyepic]

I've been rewatching atla recently, and getting back into the fandom, and i stg i have not seen a single post about how they cast a white boy to play sokka. like... what??? where is the accountability? where are the calls for a recast? where are the calls for a boycott? this is a big deal! and it's not unheard of for a show to recast a character after they've already been in a season, even if said character is very prominent

[zuko-always-lies]

Favorite Katara ship?

I'm curious to see how this pans out.
