Control | Various x Overlord!Makima!Reader

Notes: Reader has the same powers as Makima from Chainsaw Man. Im leaving a link here in case you want to read about them in deep detail.

Warnings: HH violence - Cursing - Blood -

When a soul falls down to hell no one takes notice of it. You were lowkey thankful for it, your clothes the same ones as the one you had died were dity with mud and blood. Your white shirt was ruined, your black coat had holes on it.

Thats a magnificent disaster

You never expected you would be stabed in the back by one coworker, and that would be the cause of your death. But your greed was big and so was theirs so you were sure you were going to meet them down here soon.

As impressive as this was you were not under panic, maybe having to watch your back 24/7 when you were alive had helped to it.

In that dark alley you stood considering your choices when a small creature with horns appear, it showed a knife at you and jumped.

You moved your head to the side "is this a demon?" You wondered swiftly avoiding its attack. Then like instinct you raised your arm, your fingers like a gun, pointing at the demon.

"Bam" you whispered and soon the chest of the demon exploted. You looked at your fingers then at the corpse a few meters away a sadistic smile forming.

"I wonder what more I can do"

~☆~☆~☆~☆

In no time you got a name for yourself, The Control Demon. A Demon who could force others to make contracts with them, a demon who could use the power of the demons who they had a contract with.

Manipulation was your middle name. Overlords respected you and some feared you.

~☆~~☆~☆~☆

Carmilla was always wary around you, knowing your power. Her angel weapons were in reach whenever you attended a meeting. She could see behind that fake smile and eyes.

~☆~☆~☆

Zestial was amazed by your power. He knew he was strong and heavens you were stronger. He would start conversations with you only to try and get on your good side.

~☆~☆~☆

Rosie loved you, she knew you could put all the cannibal town against her but that was just amazing in her eyes, not to say, you using other overlord powers was something to enjoy.

Something she got to know was that you could force a sinner to say a name and by moving your hand that one named would explote.

~☆~☆~☆

Alastor was...well he was interested. He wanted to know if you could get him out of his own contact but then again for that he would have to confess that he had a leash on. Something he did not want to do at all.

~☆~☆~☆~

When Charlie first meet you she was...scared. Listening to your name being told and the stories....but she was sure something good was in everybody so of course she opened her hotel doors for you. Even if you were only there to see the place.

~☆~☆~☆

Vaggie straight up hated you. If Alastor was a pest then you were worse. She did not want nothing to do with you. But she also knew she was no competition against you. Specially after seeing your spiral eyes as you moved away her weapon.

"Please, at least learn how to proper use it, angel"

~☆~☆~☆~

Lucifer was charmed!!

Yes the king of hell fell for your sweet words and compliments like a young fella.

"Your majesty its a pleassure to meet the one who rules in here" You said bowing towards the short king who was suprised by your polite self.

You ended showing him the place after Alastor killed the other sinners and told him sweet nothings about hell and him. How you always have wanted to meet him (no). And he ate all up.

That night Lucifer ended on his bed blushing hard thinking about you.

~☆~☆~☆

Vox had tried to follow you only to end with a panic attack as he saw your spiral eyes staring back at him from one monitor.

"Its not polite to spy you know"

And now Vox has nightmares of you.

☆.｡.:* pairing: asshole ceo!hyuka x assistant!reader

☆.｡.:* warnings & other : enemies to less hated enemies/lovers, kai is an asshole, very mean, reader is nonchalant, sub!reader, softdom!kai but like meandom aura idk how to explain it, reader lowkey likes kai but like hell no that's ur boss!, unless..., idk if i will ever expand on this concept but fhwuwe i just love the thought of mean CEO kai, im back just for this ig

☆.｡.:* wc : …

you hum to yourself quietly, picking up a white collared shirt that you believe best fits the vibe of the upcoming business meeting.

"what do you think of this one?" you ask calmly. you watch silently as your boss glances up briefly from his phone to look at the attire you've chosen. he cranes his neck back and forth before groaning dramatically.

"i hate it."

you stare at him with a neutral expression on your face as he goes back to gluing his eyes to his phone as if whatever he was doing on there was more important than the task at hand. "that's the fifth one today sir," you speak up.

there's not a hint of mockery in your tone whatsoever. you're just doing your job after all. was it easy? hell no. however, you weren't about to let this stuck up brat get you out of line.

you were used to kai's constant demands. as his secretary and right hand women it's only normal for you to be able to deal with whatever bullshit was thrown your way. you were tougher than he gave you credit for and he had never acknowledged it but you were the only one who had stuck around.

the thing was, kai was used to getting everything he wanted but that all halted once you became his assistant.

normally he could get anything and anyone no matter what. the latest car or prettiest girl to play around with, you name it. he had a habit of fucking around with his assistants until you showed up. the moment you stepped into his office for the interview you were already on his hit list. thankfully you had a friend who worked here already so you knew of his advances towards the woman he worked with.

"its a good thing you're pretty, we'll look good standing next to each other," he had quipped once you sat down. you had held a straight face and answered plainly, not giving in to his advances.

"with all due respect sir, im here to work, not be a trophy on a wall to you." you still remember the way scoffed at you. as if to say, "we'll see". you can tell he didn't like that one bit.

sure, he had hired you despite the rudeness you gave him on the first encounter, why wouldn't he? your resume was impressive. long list of amazing companies he rivaled with in the past and you were smart. sure, he cared about all that in the grand scheme of things but he mainly hired you because you were his type. however, he kept you on a tight leash. metaphorically but he wouldn't be opposed if it were literal. he knew you weren't the type to condone his flirtatious advances and he hated that so he made your life a living hell in return.

no longer was he the boss who occasionally flirted with you and held the door open whenever you were running late. no. he had turned into somewhat of a tyrant, throwing fits over you not liking him in that way and penalizing you for even being just a second late. everyone in the office knew it was never a good day for you if you had to physically be around him.

he sighs, throwing his phone haphazardly on his bed. he rubs his face with his hands as if he's trying to cool himself off from exploding at you. you put the shirt down on the chair closest to the walk in closet, preparing for whatever he has to say to you.

"y/n-" he pauses to look up at you. his blonde hair is strewn all over the place and he has a bored expression. his eyes are narrowed and the way he's looking at you should make you feel small but it doesn't work. at least not outwardly. you'd be lying if you said the way he looked at you didn't make you throb a bit. but you couldn't and wouldn't ever let him win. you didn't care if he was nice or mean to you.

right now though, he's clearly masking the irritation in his eyes with a neutral face.

"i give you the keys to my very expensive, very lavish house not so you can chastise me about my fashion choices and my likes and dislikes but so that you can do your goddamn job and choose the best option for me."

"if i knew what i wanted to fucking wear i wouldn't have hired you in the first place don't you think?" he finishes. you raise your eyes row when he curses at you but remain silent.

he must've really been in a bad mood to curse at you because you don't think he's ever done that. he was mean but never to the point of swearing at you. that's how you knew today he wasn't having it.

he walks up to your still figure at the front of the closet. you're significantly shorter than him which he uses as a way to assert his dominance. he holds your jaw and inspects your face. he hates that you have such an indifferent expression on your face, you swear you see his eye twitch a bit.

"i hate that stupid look on your face," he mutters. "i curse at you and you don't even flinch, i flirt with you and you turn me down.. what do i do to break you?" he asks more to himself than you.

he holds that position for a while, waiting for anything, any sign that will help him out in this situation. you purse your lips because you know exactly what he's waiting for.

an invitation.

"im just here to do my job kai. i don't want to fool around with you." you say. "no matter how you are," you say to yourself. you hope your voice isn't faltering because kai has always respected your personal space but now he's all in your face. "are you serious? you're telling me you haven't thought of me fucking the mess out of you not even once. i mean.." he glances at his king bed for a second. "we're in my room right now, don't be so crass, its offensive.." he smiles a bit at his own intentions.

you hold your stare to the best of your abilities although the wetness that's pooling in your underwear is telling you to just give in. sure, he's your boss, your hot boss who has mentioned time and time again how badly he craves you, so what harm is it?

before you almost let your pussy do the thinking, suddenly you remember the fact that he only wants you just to say he broke you. it was almost like a game to him and you were the prize. you definitely weren't gonna let him win.

you clear your throat, trying to pull away from his grasp. "your meeting will be soon can we please get you dressed?" you say it with so much monotonous that it causes kai to blow another short fuse.

with a light shove he removes his hands from your jaw and sighs heavily. "the day i fuck the indifference out of you will be the day this whole building hears my name," he says to himself as if already imagining how it'll go down. "but it's ok, i suppose i can keep playing this game."

he turns around to look at you still standing stupidly near the closet.

"although im not sure how much longer im willing to play."

pre release boothill relationship headcanons!!!

a/n: I'm fiending off crumbs... I've wanted to read some x reader of him but theres none so I gotta write it myself. I hope the other 4 boothill fans enjoy

warnings: gn!reader, like 2 gendered pet names (pretty girl/boy), most of this is written with bias because we don't have alot to go off, obviously written prerelease, when we actually get content of him I'll definitely be rewriting

LEAKS AHEAD!!!

bc: Valentine_DD_ on twt

- Boothill is described as a righteous person if his bottom line doesn't get crossed, so he definitely treats you good. probably more on the protective side when it comes to you, he's probably not afraid to use his gun if someone is threatening you.

- and believe me he's intimidating. from his overall tough and "unruly" cowboy look to his mechanical body it leaves enemies just a little challenged. he lowers his voice too and probably has a more fierce look in his eyes too. after any threats have been delt with he probably turns to you and turns into the sweetest thing ever, a wide grin across his face and his hands on your cheeks peppering you with small kisses.

- Its said he's a bit sophisticated due to his experiences so I'd like to imagine sometimes he charms you with facts and details about other planets or just genuinely sharing some tips and tricks he's picked up from other cultures. he's also a person who can get along with others pretty well but he can easily give strangers an impression he's selfish and is a bad person.

- again this kinda feeds into he's basically you'd guard dog... but I mean who wouldn't want to be saved by a handsome and sweet cowboy. despite his unpredictable personality and looks he's a huge gentleman for sure. always opens doors and pulls out chairs for you, makes sure your behind him and okay if any danger approaches and practically listens to your every command (lowkey giving off my girl and I don't argue she tells me to shut up and I do)

- one part I'm so excited to see is what they mean by he's illiterate and using metaphors. it's probably just him using slang but it's still kinda cute. I feel like his cheesy and strange metaphors turn into pick up lines when talking to you. perhaps he'll pull a "did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" or something cheesier. Definitely a huge nickname guy, almost never uses your real name. I'm guessing he'd use stuff like doll, sugar, baby, pretty girl/boy and more teasing names. heavy on doll and sugar and just imagine him saying it in a deep southern accent... 😍 kicking my feet. also I imagine he loves making you giggle by not cursing (because he literally cant) and normally he'd get pissed if someone laughed at him like that if it's you he doesn't mind at all.

- that's pretty much it for like analyzing the leaks I saw but now the stuff up ahead is just bias yapping because I always project

- HE DEFINITELY IS A HAND KISSER. greets you by getting on one knee, holding his hat to his chest and kissing your hand. makes eye contact with you too and does that toothy smirk of his IM SWOONINGGG

- maybe he's a dancer! pulls you into his arms and places his hat on your head when a good song plays in taverns. even if your clueless on any type of dances then he'll pull you along to the beat whispering Instructions in your ear.

- gets so lovesick when drunk it drives everyone mad. any folks he's sitting with at a bar gets a whole speech on his wonderful beautiful darling who he owes his live and would happily die by their hand. and may God save you when you come pick him up because he'll be all over you. Immediately he wraps a arm around your waist as he slurrs his hello as he proceeds to tell you he loves you like 40 times. besides the mass amounts of kisses you'll receive once you both reach a private spot he let's some feelings that he might be too shy to share normally, holding your face as he calls you his pretty girl/boy and how he's so lucky to have you.

- honestly not the best for cuddling however unfortunately he needs to cuddle you to sleep so goodluck! his metal body isn't completely uncomfortable it's just cold alot. he tries to get around this by literally preheating himself with blankets before you go to bed.

very bad boothill brainrot atm... only a few more weeks until we get official content 😭 everyone hold hands we got this

here's the actual leaks if anyone is curious ^_^

[ayrastv]

OH I LEAVE QUITE AN IMPRESSION ;

STARRING the itoshi bros

CONTENTS lotttt of yap, very corny 🙂‍↕️, f!reader in rin’s, swearing and just fluff!!

A/N ; wrote this on a whim teehee!! i was originally planning to add 2 more characters but i decided i shall leave that for a part 2 so this is just a special thingy for the itoshi bros 🥺 these were suppose to be really short but as you can see i got carried away LOL neways tagging dear @choccorin !! divider by @/cafekitsune

ITOSHI SAE

♡ he met you during one of his games in spain, your brother was a big football fan and dragged you along to one of the matches. your brother was rooting for the opposite team however you couldn’t take your eyes off that darn red-head! (guys i am lowkey having a stroke thinking of these big ass football words even tho they are rlly simple)

♡ after the game where the opposite team inevitably lost, you thought your brother had enough and was going to finally head back home with you, but no — he still wanted his favourite player’s autograph and you had to keep an eye on him because he’s a dumbass.

♡ then, you saw a huge crowd gathered somewhere, you looked closely and saw the same red-head from before, sae itoshi was his name or something, right?

♡ coincidentally, his eyes turned into your direction and you guys made eye contact!! (how cliche ayra😭😭😭😭)

♡ you panicked a little bit because he was just staring at you now, those emerald-like (the urge to say spotify green IMCRYINF) eyes just boring into you so you took your brother by the arm and dragged him out of the stadium.

♡ he let out an amused scoff when he saw you walk away, this definitely will not be your last meeting so hop on the train bestie 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

♡ he played against the same team like a week later, and oh you have been on his mind!

♡ he hoped you’d be there, if you were — he definitely wasn’t going to let you slip away this time, not without your number atleast. (UGHHF IM CRINGING WHILE WRITING THIS)

♡ and fortunately for him you just so happened to be present in his match with your brother.

♡ since your brother wasn’t able to get the autograph he wanted since you rudely dragged him away last time, you both were back on the field after the match while you grumbled, getting pushed by all kinds of people as you tried not to get lost.

♡ “hey.” you nearly let out a scream when you heard a voice behind you and felt someone take your hand, but when you turned around you realised it was the same redhead from before.

♡ (ps; he still teases you about that moment because your face was as red as a tomato, he thought if was adorable.)

♡ he lead you away somewhere less crowded, thankfully no one had seen you both.

♡ at first you were scared and you felt stupid because girl why are you letting some rando take you away what if he’s kidnapping you!!

♡ then he finally stops, turning to you as he gives you a chit with his number on it — without elaborating any further this bitch gets in his car and leaves!!

♡ you later got scolded by your brother for wandering off, but lets just say that little chit has led you to your current relationship with him now, so maybe you are grateful that your brother forced you to come to those football matches.

ITOSHI RIN

☆ you both met in a theatre, a new horror movie was airing at the movies just during rin’s break after the u-20 match, so as a way to cope he booked a ticket for himself.

☆ you were there because of family time, once in a while your parents take you to do something fun as a bonding time, its not like you hated horror movies — you were just a big scaredy cat!

☆ before the movie started your dad pushed you to go get some food because ‘you’re a grown woman now and need to learn how to do this by yourself!’ but you’re pretty sure he’s just finding excuses for his laziness. (yall my dad use to tell me this all the time LMFSOAOA)

☆ thats when you bump into him, (#CORNYYYYYYYYYYY#SOMEONESTOPME) at first you were taken aback bc wtf this is the most beautiful man u’ve ever seen in your life!!

☆ then this bitch is like “move.” LIKE DID I NOT JUST GIVE YOU THE MOST LOVING AND AFFECTIONATE STARE 😔😔 (OKAYIMSTOPPINGHWLPE)

☆ you’re about to go back but you decide to spy on him a little longer because this is perfectly normal behaviour and you see him order the girliest drink you’ve EVER seen in your life.

☆ you let out a quiet snicker AND THE WAY HIS HEAD SNAPPED TOWARDS YOU like it came straight out of a horror movie, you still have ptsd from it 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

☆ he’s a gullible king so you told him you just remembered a funny joke and he believed you.

☆ and very coincidentally his seat was right next to yours, when you saw him walking towards your row you immediately side eyed him, of course like the nonchalant king he is he ignored it like a champ.

☆ (he thought you looked very adorable) ERMMM WHO SAID THAT!!

☆ at some point the movie got so boring your parents fell asleep, (they started snoring REALLY LOUD so you had to pretend like..erm i do not know these people!!)

☆ so you just turned to rin and asked “are you actually enjoying this?”

☆ he looks at you like 😐 and says ‘yes’ like sir where did your tastebuds disappear

☆ “okay, whatever, whats your name?“ you asked him and he responds, “rin” and you say a little bit too loudly “like the vocaloid?!”

☆ you both got kicked out after that

☆ you thought he’d be fuming, but he looked surprisingly calm. still, you felt bad for what happened so you offered to take him out to the movies next week.

☆ he was so confused, why would you do something so nice for a stranger?

☆ thankfully though, he accepted!! yippie :3

[milksnake-tea]

heyy bbg its me, your 🌺 again hihi

I was wondering if you would be interested in writing about the ask prompts 2, 6 and 10 for Yaoshi? 🥹 I'm honestly still a simp for them and Honkai is releasing way too less stuff about them I could scream 😭

During the next survey im gonna beg them to let us be kissed by them again for real. By the way, thank you so much in advance, you know I always eat up your aeon content it's so nice.

(If I misunderstood the prompts and you won't do it please ignore this ask and spare me the cringe I would potentially feel HAHA)

- 🌺

POINTS. I GOTCHU BBG I NEED TO GET BACK INTO MY AEON LOVER PHASE ALSO UR FINE BBG U DID IT RIGHT ILY

2. What do you think their love language is?

Definitely acts of service or gifts. As much as I love my physically affectionate Yaoshi, I see them as someone to just shower you in gifts and love. And let me tell you - those gifts have range. You could get either the most beautiful bouquet (or garden/planet because let's be real, Yaoshi wouldn't settle for just a bouquet) made up of the finest specimen from across the universe, or you could open your door to the freakiest chimera that looks like it was one of God's deleted drafts. With acts of service, Yaoshi doesn't want you to be sad !!! No negative feelings are allowed, only happiness and joy for their loved one <33 So they'll take care of anything that bothers you to make sure that your eternal life is nothing short of paradise.

6. What do you think Yaoshi is like in love?

They're actually insufferable BYE I just know they're musing about every little detail about you to anyone who would listen. Their Emanators and Denizens have never seen you, and yet they know everything about you. Basically, they turn into a less loud, yet somehow even more poetic version of Argenti. You'd slowly notice the effects of their blessings around you as you go on with your life: Flowers and vegetation bloom wherever you go, your injuries heal so fast that you could've convinced yourself they didn't exist, and sickness no longer finds you. Gradually, your world turns into a paradise, and when you inevitably meet the Aeon responsible for it all, they welcome you with open arms.

10. How good at cuddling is Yaoshi?

THEY'RE BOTH SO GOOD AND SO BAD AT IT AT THE SAME TIME ITS LOWKEY IMPRESSIVE. Yaoshi has wayyy too many arms for their own good, but that just means they have all the more to hug you with !! The only problem is that. Well. Those arms have nails. And said nails are sharped to an unreasonable degree, and sometimes Yaoshi forgets about them and they'll accidentally scratch you when they're trying to pet you. But they're warm and make quite the pillow if you just ignore that part, and they'll hum you a little song while they hold you <33 or just talk to you about the mortals that've caught their eye, or what their followers have gotten up to. Yaoshi has a beautiful voice, by the way, gentle yet rich and leaning on the deeper side, and just listening to them is enough to lull you to sleep.

Top 10 BL's you've read for 2024?

the top in this 10 is "off the top of my head", tbh. i also didn't list ten, and these aren't in any particular order. these also aren't my all time favorites (necessarily. i think a couple on this list qualify)

Anotoki Kara Sukidattanda to Omo (and its sequel)

here's the thing: this bl is not good and most people aren't going to like it. it is schlocky, messy, and melodramatic, it's borderline surreal, extremely absurd, relentlessly horny, and it has the pacing of a tiktok edit to an early 100 gecs song set to 150% speed. very prototypical in a lot of ways, one of the most unique bl i've ever read in others. an absolute fever dream. but it's one of those things i read at just the right time, and there's something about it that means a lot to me. it's first so you understand how esoteric my taste gets right off the bat and have 0 expectations for anything else i put on this list. also some cws for this one so like you can dm me if you want to know.

Reunion (by 2coin and deulsum)

something you need to know about me is i really love manhwa that people think is boring and by god reunion is that bitch. long-winded, gently achy character study with identity porn. it's shockingly lowkey, grounded, and comforting to read for it's initial premise... that being "poor guy with terminally ill mother poses as the dead grandchild of a rich terminally ill old dude's nanny in order to pay for his mom's treatment and his brother's schooling and oh no there's this mean chaebol grandson who is obsessed with him except it's 7 years later and the chaebol grandson has amnesia and gives his boss a briefcase of cash to buy him" you'll see what i mean when you read it, it's really actually good. you'll like it if you like quiet slowburns.

Eat Your Heart Out (by Samak Satang and AI_tuner)

do you like scalies? do you like amazing worldbuilding? do you like plotlines about social class and eugenics? do you like yandere older brothers? do you like aggressive bottoms who are slutty and insufferable? do you like 2 and a half foot long dicks? boy do i have a one of a kind manhwa for you. eat your heart out was an unexpected delight right from the start due to it's amazing art and character design. but then i got to know helm and i fell deeply, deeply in love. he is just so fucking annoying and borderline unlikeable at times in a way that makes him an amazing protagonist. crazy about this one, a new favorite for sure. also i am not joking about dick size. you are reading "two and a half foot long dick" and thinking to yourself "surely, danny is exaggerating" i am not exaggerating. please pray for helm. he is not making it out alive.

Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita

if you like domsubverse you probably won't like this domsubverse. if you don't like domsubverse im also not sure if you'll like this. really, to enjoy this you should have a neutral opinion on domsubverse and a positive opinion on kissing the homies goodnight. dom getting dommed. sweet, bunny-soft, funny, and i just really love the relationship between the two leads.

90 Days for the Delicacy

phew, look at those two whole normal recommendations! time for bdsm and gore! i can't really tell you anything about the plot of this one without spoiling it. im sorry, i hate when people do that to me, too. if you know what my favorite manga are: this is in a similar genre.

Nekura to Gyaru Otoko

a simple manga about an outgoing gyaru boy, his childhood friend who has spent his life taking up as little space as possible, and the quiet, painful conflict that causes. one of the first manga i read this year that made a lasting impression on me. i love the art, i love the characters, i love the quiet moments in the story, i love it's bluntness, i love it's weight and temperature and how it tastes when i read it. a must-read for chronic doormats and those who would rather die than burden people they love, imo.

One Summer Day (by ker)

grim reaper fucks up a reaping reaaaal bad and has to babysit his charge until the paperwork comes in. unfortunately being still-alive when you're not supposed to be comes with some... side effects. such as becoming a huge murderslut. good news though! the cure for undead murderslutism is in fact nasty sloppy bareback marathon sex. this is by the same author+artist as sign and i absolutely love it. the characters are likeable and you can feel that this one is going to suckerpunch you with pain between the multi-hour fuckfests.

Spectrophilia

a young man is haunted by his past... literally. and, uh, hornily. after attending the funeral of his highschool bully/situationship/best friend the protagonist finds himself plagued by raunchy "dreams", the star of which being his dead friend. i think i started this in 2023 and i don't care you should read spectrophilia. the art style is really unique and im crazy about it. slow, quiet, a hint of yandere. don't ask me why two entries on this list feature dead people.

OΣG!!! = Oh My God

lets round this out with a banger i fucking love oh my god, it's great, it's gore-camp, it's playfully dark, and the characters are fun! it's a yandere serial killer/salaryman romance wrapped up in an amazing art style and slutty bloodsplatter. this one's light, easy, fun, and exactly what it's trying to be. i adore it.

[the-way-astray]

HEY so I skim read your new Keefe hate post and I have some thoughts I'd like to share (all good ones!!)

As someone who also wrote a very long essay about [a] fictional character(s) while citing the page number and book word by word, you freaking ACED it. I'm always gonna be impressed when people take the time to cite your source and give a in depth explanation about it

You're lowkey not too wrong about Keefe infantilizing Sophie. For something silly and stupid, like "Iggy ate my mallowmelt!! >:( Now im mad!!" yeah I bet Sophie would seem cute lol. But for when she's genuinely angry and pissed?? Maybe lay off a little bit dude 😭 Like cmon she can murder you with her mind- There are moments where he does talk about how powerful she is though, throughout the series, but tbh as much as he does that he probably inhantilize her too *shrug* I need to reread the series, but you are making some sense.

I need Keefe getting mad and someone asking him if he's on his period LMAOOOO

Anyways as someone who loves Keefe you're making valid points. He has his flaws, and sometimes he isn't the best person. In summary

Never post that on pinterest. Those crazy Keefe loving, Fitz hating, Sokeefe shipping 11 year olds will MURDER YOU. I will respect your opinion, but they sure don't.

(your opinion is valid and you have facts *clap and approving nod* you have my respect.)

the post in question

okay, first of all, i need this essay immediately. i literally do not care what it's about but words! lots of words! about kotlc! need.

ooh, thank you so much! i mentioned this in the post itself, but this is a rework. the quotes were originally in one post (copy-pasted from another post) and the explanation was in a reblog, which was hella annoying, so i condensed them. i suppose it does make much more sense now. and my explanation is based in the fact that i don't think people were understanding why this isn't a good thing to be saying, period, when i posted it for the first time. even without context.

yeah, keefe displays a consistent attitude of "sophie is so adorable and small and cute and ditzy and soft". seriously, if you don't believe me, read his perspective in unlocked (or don't, because i'm going to do it for you in my part two keefe rant). it's why i don't buy his accepting sophie as a leader in stellarlune (done in a very, very tell-not-show way, may i add), unless he went through some serious development in unraveled. i may have to dedicate a whole post to that topic . . . anyway, yeah, him calling her powerful and talented feels very, very, very tell-not-show, and when you look at his internal thoughts in unlocked, it portrays her very differently. i'm not a fact of the way he sees her, truly. it feels very dumbed down and uwu-ified. no quotes from unlocked have been put into the post, so i'll have to update it later, but if i included unlocked quotes, this post would be like sixteen times its length. but yeah, you should reread the series before you come to a serious opinion. i'm obviously incredibly biased.

GOODBYE I WAS CITING THAT POST BECAUSE IT GAVE OFF THE EXACT ENERGY I FEEL KEEFE GIVES OFF . . . I DON'T EVEN THINK ELVES HAVE PERIODS (please nobody bring back that cursed discussion again, please, i beg) BUT YOU'RE SO CORRECT. SOMEONE WRITE A HUMAN AU WHERE THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY

yay, a level-headed keefe lover, i love you guys. lol . . . i don't plan to go on pinterest anytime soon, or ever (and i also don't even think pinterest's format even allows for a long post like this . . . ). honestly the thought would have never even crossed my mind, because keepblr is my one true love and i'd never cheat on her. but now that you mention it, it might be funny . . .

[celestie0]

this is probably overbearing or too much, but it’s genuine i swear. have u ever actually gave head to a man? i’ve never done that but i’m lowkey kinda scared to if i’m ever put in the position to, like fr, how does one do that? how do you even give “good head”? AND HOW DO YOU NOW THROW UP ON IT 😭😭😭

i’m sorry

hi my dear LOLLL you’re so valid for this dw

hmm i think firstly a guy shouldnt ever put you in that sort of position if you don’t want to or you don’t feel ready obviously. don’t let any guy make you feel pressured to if you don’t want to

but yea lol w that being said im no oral sex goddess lmfaoo but there are basics to giving head like no teeth, making sure his dick stays wet so theres no uncomfy friction, eye contact, generally the more fucked out you look the hotter he’ll find it (this used to be a big insecurity of mine is that there’s no way i look “pretty” or “cute” while sucking dick cuz of the angle n action etc but tbh i’ve been told that it’s hot to them either way lol)

also yea if u have a massive gag reflex dont bother to deep throat HAHA i have one too, i can kinda handle if im slow enough, but you really dont need to take it all the way just to impress. imo deepthroating is just porn stuff (or maybe thats what i tell myself to feel better lol)

also ive never given head unless i wanted to, even when i was in a relationship. i’ve never given it as a “favor”, its something i’d only do if it genuinely turns me on too. i think it’ll be easier to do if you just genuinely wanna suck his dick lol

idk if this helps at all but your fears are so valid, first few times might feel really awkward bc it can feel like there’s a lot of things to keep track of, but (1) w practice you’ll be fine (2) you can always just ask him what he does or doesn’t like (3) the right guy will just be thrilled you’re willing to do it in the first place

HAHAH ok mediocre sex ed over

[megabuild]

in my dream last night i was watching an etho video. now this was like an older etho video, im not sure how i knew i just did, i think in my dream logic it was like "yeah his voice is a bit different" [how would i know that] and also i remembered in the dream that image thats some comment that says 'love good ol fashioned scared of women etho'. anyways, in the dream im thinking its one of those popular "life" series im always hearing about. like im like "oh this must be 3rd life. im about to see what all the rage is". so its etho. and grian. etho is walking around in the minecraft world [as he does] and grian is kinda guiding him along, to the Event. and hes led into this reeeeeeeeeeally tall building. and theres a floor. and its really plain and boring. and now im kinda wishing i started to tell you about this dream when i first woke up from it like 3 hours ago but alas, i kinda dont remember all the things grian was telling etho. just know he was going about with this air of authority. just explaining a few things. and etho was like Yup. Yup. theres stairs and a door that lead to the next floor, which looks exactly like the last. but this time they meet up with cleo, who is kinda tearing the whole room apart and redecorating it to match her tastes. and theres still a set of stairs and a door that lead to another floor and some other minecraft guy [i only know a few names but my brain generated all of them + more] doing the same thing cleo was doing. idk if grian told etho the gimmick or if i figured it out myself but i was like ohhhh yes everyone gets a floor to themselves and they can decorate it to help distinguish and everyone gets a sign that says smthn like Etho's Room. and we just keep climbing and seeing all these decorated rooms and im lowkey impressed at the variety and talent put into these rooms. and then im like ohhh nooooo when are they gonna start killing each other... you see the point is to invade everyones rooms and kill whoevers in there. i dont remember much other game rules than that. etho is getting kinda tired of walking up all these stairs [cant blame him] and then he just kinda shoots himself up to the roof of the building [idk how he did that but grians there too] and this building is scary tall and grians talking about how nice it is to be the game master and etho is just still saying Yeah. Yup. Sure man [probably with the hopes that grian shuts up one day] and lowkey i dont remember anything else and ofc etho never even got a room.

Ok

[somethingaboutmint]

as a starved animal whose diet requires yuri i want to know how you think cass and veronica would Address Their Feelings For Each Other, or if they ever possibly would or ever possibly could

I am so glad you asked cuz i did indeed think about this way too much and i hope i can word this in a coherent way.

Veronica's the one that initially falls in love because cass is so cool and confident and hot ect. ect. you get it but is a lot more lowkey about it and in her mind its more of a "sure would be nice" thought instead of some hard crush because she does not think a relationship is achievable because shes under the impression that cass is a straight woman (until cass has her "yeah im an ally. I fuck women. We exist moment). Meanwhile after veronica comes out to cass (got tired of pretending to understand cassidys rating of ncr soliders on the strip from most to least fuckable and had to say something) something in her brain flips and cassidy becomes fucking obsessed with veronica for literally no reason (woman you like as a friend and subconciously think is hot is gay so you suddenly technically have a chance and the feeling is like crack cocaine). Cassidy goes through her shinji chair.png moment where she cycles from complete denial about her feelings to acknowledging them and psyching herself up to say something and overanalyzing every interaction for awhile. I think she would be the one to confess her feelings first because it gets unbearable for her but would fuck it up in every way imaginable (is too nervous about it so she brilliantly decides to get drunk so shes not as nervous. Gets too drunk. Words dont come out right. She comes on a bit too strong. Passes out.). Luckily veronica is weirdly into it and also has a thing for total disasters apparently so it does somehow work out. They'd take it pretty slow (probably on veronicas suggestion because this is cass' first attempt at a relationship with another woman (and also veronicas a bit of a romantic but shh)) and im actually not sure if it would work out long term or not? They both have their own issues (cass has a hard time with commitment methinks and veronicas a bit too hung up on her ex which makes dating new people hard sometimes) which i think would be very interesting to watch them try and work out...idk i do kind of like endgame cass and veronica like they both go through so much bullshit cause of the courier and would share like a mutual understanding for each other so why not. Plus i think the possible dynamics between them are so fun and i specifically adore cass being an absolute fucking disaster and veronica being like "but shes my disaster <3"

[kquil]

🧁 : cupcake

tell me about yourself, as much or as little as possible and i will ship you with whichever marauder i think you will go well with!

I've never done this before so I apologize if this is bad haha

ok so i am 5'9, i hate summer (i am suffering lol), i love to bake, i am currently learning how to crochet, I like to read, I love musicals and will sing along to them, I am a jeans and a hoodie/plaid person and its all I wear lol, I love cozy games like stardew valley and animal crossing

I think thats it I don't know what else to say

don't worry darling, you did great requesting this -^7^-

you sound like an absolute cutiepie and since im a sucker for opposites attract, i'm shipping you with regulus black

i. regulus doesn't like summer too and adores whenever you get all bundled up to go outside during the colder months; he thinks you look adorable. he also likes the fact that winter gives him a lot of excuses to be close to you i.e to hold your hand and keep them warm, cuddle you to keep you warm and offer you his jacket...to keep you warm XD

ii. you spoil regulus with your baking, he was never really one for sweets but he gives all your baking creations a try and now he's grown quite the sweet tooth, he'll only admit it around you though

iii. you also spoil him with your crochet creations. you're still learning so you focus on small little trinkets first and he adores all of them, even the ones that don't quite look right or turn out lopsided. he doesn't openly fawn over them but shows his silent adoration by keeping every single one in a small treasure trove he's created using a box.

iv. you both love reading and it always ends in the two of you cuddled against each other. the peaceful silence is welcome but you'll occasionally come across a scene in your book that draws a reaction from you that you instantly have to explain to regulus. throughout your entire explanation, he's looking at you with love eyes. he loves listening to you and seeing your passions about something

v. regulus never really had a chance to watch musicals, he was mostly subjected to suffocating operas and ballets. when you heard this, you made sure to take him out to watch several of your favourite musicals, which were a good change of pace. he doesn't know how to feel about them other than he likes how excited and passionate you get about them; you're just always so adorable to him

vi. one day, he asks why you always wear simple jeans and a hoodie and you explain 'they're just so comfortable to wear', his upbringing has robbed him of such experiences so when you let him borrow your plaids/hoodies and buy him a pair of jeans, he feels as though he owes you so much - until he gets his own hoodies and plaid shirts, he's borrowing yours

vii. you make him get his own nintendo switch so he can start animal crossing and work on his own island as well. he doesn't take it seriously at first but when you offer to go to his island to help him, he seriously steps up his game to impress you and so that he doesn't look lazy - his island is immaculate as well! omg! you're jealous but impressed

viii. honourable mention : i also, lowkey ship you with Remus Lupin, you two cinnamon rolls would be cute together. he's the calmest out of the marauders but he's stressed all the time; you are the only person who can make him feel at ease, especially when you pull him into your relaxing and cosy hobbies to do together. he also thinks your adorable and feels a protectiveness over you so i feel as though he would be very hesitant to tell you about his lycanthropy

[onlyjaeyun]

Honestly, I'm really excited for it as well. Like even though those of us that sent you ideas know what you are going for, it's still really interesting to see how you interpret it and apply it in relation to everything else in the story so far.

I know, like it was such a good deal, like I was ready to drop almost $400 buying them all. I got a notification that 6 of the Enhypen albums should be here tomorrow, the others will all ship soon, like I'll share my pulls, like I'm manifesting I get no repeats.

Also Euijoo, I fucking get it, like I took one look at &Team and was immediately like that one has my heart, like no one else got a try, since Euijoo just existing did it for me. Like my type is usually Scorpios, Hongjoong, Lee Know, Jake, I just gravitate towards the Scorpios, but like that Virgo got me, like immediately. I've watched some &Team stuff and he's just so soft spoken and everything, and I just love it. Like tbh out of all of 02 line I'm like sorry Jake I love you, but like Euijoo though. If you haven't watched them yet, I encourage you to watch Under the Skin the extended version, since you know connects &Team and Enhypen's lore, and Scent of You just because it's my favorite mv of theirs. They don't have many music videos so it's not hard to watch them all at once, Firework, Road Not Taken, Under The Skin, Scent of You, and War Cry are all their mvs. I would definitely encourage you to watch the War Cry MV Shoot sketch too since it's great, like Yuma and Harua are arguing most of it and it's adorable, and K being the main character and all.

Honestly, I love how receptive you are to anyone sending you ideas or thoughts, like I've seen so many writers that it's their writing and they don't want others sharing ideas with them. But like I love sharing them with you, since I know so many times it might be something you just didn't think of, or might be something you thought about but were not sure how to fully do it, so like sharing ideas can be so helpful. Honestly, the kitchen scene was my favorite idea of them, like I am a sucker for a soft little kitchen scene, like one character just clinging onto the other as the other tries to navigate around the kitchen doing stuff.

YESSS ITS THE BEST PART ABOUT INDULGING YOUR GUYS' IDEAS IN THESE !!!!! i always love seeing your reactions like i love it sm 🥺

i'm honestly so impressed by that deal bc if i got those here in germany i would have paid a good 300€+ and thats MAD crazy??? i really hope you get your bises bb cant wait for your haul 🤭🤭

BESTIE WHEN I TELL YOUUUUUU 😭😭😭 virgo men ALWAYS do it for me like im a scorpio/libra men lover through and through but when i see a virgo man i will lose my dignity and fall to my knees bc they're ALWAYSSSSS TOP TIER 🤕 i just know EJ's one of those and thats why i'm lowkey hesitant to start stanning bc i dont wanna neglect enha 😭😭😭 especially hearing lunes talk about andteam like that makes me so giggly and gets me so excited, can't wait to share my thoughts with you guys 🤗🩷

and i cant lie i do understand writers who don't want their readers to indulge like this bc we all have personal boundaries etc. and some just feel a little ? i cant remember the word in english rn but they just dont feel comfortable and thats 100% okay! i love it and love reading your guys' takes and thoughts on my smaus!🥺💞🩷

OA looks like he wants to shake hailey by the shoulders and ask her what her deal is

oh god

im gonna binge watch this series, aren't i?

[banghwa]

after reading your great analysis of FACE, I still can't really see a full-fledged queer narrative in it. Besides the basic separate elements, what I do see after reading the lyrics and analyzing how the album is structured and seeing what Jimin has shared about it, is a break-up album. To me, with the way the songs are ordered, it tells a story of a person coming out of a troublesome relationship and having to deal with all the leftover baggage of it [ external and inner], told in a very universally relatable way, not really seeing a very queer outlook on it. and I don't see anything bad with that hs. we all kinda agree that music/sound wise,, jimin is a bit boring lol, and to me in this instance also thematically, but not everything has to be LIE or Taemin's want, for his first solo endevor I get it. I also don't discourage any queer readings of it!! But I don't get why are you so against readings like this? it lowkey reminded me of chungking express or fallen angels

ok so. The point of my post wasn't necessarily to try to argue that the song unequivocally is about queerness. It was just a look at the narrative and thematics that reflect themes of queerness, such as the overlapping of loneliness and desire. I honestly don't really think expressing sexual identity was the main goal of it. It looks at Like Crazy as a discussion starter, or a refraction of this specific experience of alienation.

The reason I take issue with interpretations of it that are like “this is about a break-up!!!” is bcs like. It goes against what Jimin himself said. I think it's entirely possible a break-up could have inspired Like Crazy or other facets of the album. But the point is that each song is an internal monologue. In no song on the EP is there a clear recipient or witness. The song is about Jimin for Jimin. Each of them explore inner struggle through the use of point of view and seemingly deliberate language that gives the impression of a recipient. FACE blurs the lines between audience and self by turning the concepts of a fan song or love song or breakup song on its head to discuss internal despair, helplessness, loss, abjection, desire, etc. Jimin himself describes FACE as a way to “[...] introduce Jimin’s true feelings that I didn’t bring up anywhere else. I looked back on myself and honestly expressed my […] emptiness and loneliness.” The main thesis of the album is loneliness, and Like Crazy acts as a subversion of it through the avenue of what sounds like any other synthpop club love song. Everything from the music video to the choreo indicated something internal - there is no outer force or source of conflict to be seen. And I think that's a very deliberate choice for something that could very well be just a horny love song. I'm not trying to reach and pretend FACE is Want by Taemin. They don't even have the same purpose in the first place. Not everything has to be something else. It's just glaringly evident to me that, while lots of aspects can have many different means, the core of FACE is to discuss an inner dialogue of a man whose entire existence seen teenhood has been as a media object and uses media tropes and a listeners expectations as an avenue to discuss something so incredible intimate and vulnerable as loneliness and personhood. Which is a thesis that a "break-up album" narrative not only ignores but belittles.

TLDR bcs this ask feels patronizing so im sure you dont actually care abt what i have to say about it: Can FACE have been inspired by a break-up? Yes. Is that the point? No. Whether it is queerness or heartbreak, the perspective is inwards and persistently abjected. Why is the concept of self-affirmation so foreign to you that you can't conceive of an inner dialogue and an idea of alienation that is experienced as something outside of relations to an other?
