featuring: itadori yuuji, megumi fushiguro, inumaki toge, okkotsu yuuta, gojo satoru, nanami kento, toji fushiguro, sukuna ryomen, choso

itadori yuuji

- fast asleep in his dorm, one leg bent up and one arm looped underneath his pillow. he even bought an extra pillow for you should you join him in the dead of the night. it’s got a badly drawn picture of you on one side (that he constantly boasts about how he made it) circled in a heart with “Y/N - THE BEST” written on it.

- there’s literal drool pooling from the corners of his mouth and he’s lightly snoring, chest rising up and down with every inhale and exhale.

- pretty heavy sleeper. this mf can fall asleep in a car too. god knows how he does it, and therefore doesn’t hear you slip into his dorm at 7am in the morning.

- you feel kinda bad for waking him up but you know that he’ll just fall asleep like a log within seconds again, so, you don’t hesitate as you clamber into his bed.

- literally shifts about in his sleep to accommodate you and then briefly opens his eyes, it’s so common now that he’s just like “oh, hey.” for a brief second before falling back asleep.

- will cuddle and cling onto you like a koala bear, if it doesn’t help you sleep immediately, you always enjoy resting your chin on his head and closing your eyes, listening to the sound of his snoring. also? itadori’s really nice and warm and soft and aaa!!! he feels like warm blankets on a cold day.

- definitely tangles his ankles with yours and kicks your feet playfully <3

- steals the blankets tho and you end up wrestling him for it

megumi fushiguro

- needs his beauty sleep LMFAO

- no i’m joking really, he’s not as heavy a sleeper as yuuji, so he’ll definitely hear you walk in. he knows it’s usually you but he likes to sit up just in case it’s not. you’re always greeted with his horrifically beautiful and messed up bed-head, dead eyes and an expression like he just got dragged through death and back.

- always always, alwaaays greets you with this really sexy morning voice, all groggy and husky like “hey.” and just HSBFHSHF PLEASE-

- megumi strikes me as the person to sleep with the window open but if you don’t like to then he always keeps it closed just for you <3

- he always keeps his laptop on his desk so you can borrow it if you’re still struggling to fall asleep. groans and complains at the light burning through his eyelids so he snuggles his face into your arm

- will never ask you to spoon him but he actually really enjoys it :(

- megumi usually stays up for a bit, around 10-15 minutes when you first come to his dorm to make sure you’re okay.

- also? i think he really likes holding hands while he sleeps. he’s okay with you being practically nowhere near him, as long as your fingertips are intertwined. so he knows you’re still there, safe and sound.

inumaki toge

- mf takes up the entire bed he’s annoying when he’s awake he’s annoying when he’s asleep

- the cutest bean :( if only he would move up…

- on good days you can manage to squeeze yourself beside him but on bad days you wake up with a sore back and your face to the floor

- one time inumaki woke up and just saw you glaring at him this guy was so confused he looked like he was about to shed tears, then he glanced down and back at his bed and it took him a solid minute because he’s never really shared a bed with anyone, nor has he had a lot of physical contact either

- so he went out and bought a futon for you just in case you end up on the floor :(

- and now he trains himself to take up less space in the bed :( so he can share with you

- also he read somewhere that girls like wearing guys shirts so… he keeps a supply for you <3

okkotsu yuuta

- tbh? very unlikely that he’s actually asleep. have you seen this guy’s eye bags? he’s sexy as shit, but i don’t think he sleeps a lot.

- so whenever you stalk round to yuuta’s dorm in the dead of the night it’s usually to pass the time together.

- it’s really sweet actually.. like.. heart clenching… because he knows that he just can’t sleep at all (most of the time) so he always tries to get you to sleep first. if you can’t, that’s okay, he makes sure to tell you that. but he doesn’t mind, even if it means him having to stiffly sit with his back against the wall on his bed, whilst you nap on his thighs. even if you wake up with a sore back and render yuuta practically incapable of using his spine, he’ll sacrifice it all so you can rest up.

- he has this habit of calling you his insomnia buddy and whenever he goes out to buy things like iced coffee he always grabs you one just in case (sometimes he has to drink both of them on the way home because they were melting and then he just can’t sleep, so, the cycle continues lmfaoooonshfudf but its the thought that counts, right?)

- swear you two are best friends

- CAN YOU IMAGINE HIM MANIFESTING RIKA SO THE THREE OF YOU CAN PLAY UNO IN HIS DORM AUSJFGHISDBFUD

- wait nonono on a serious note aaaaww yuuta would love board games!!! in the middle of training or when you’re hanging out w the other years he’s like “oh, hey! i bought a new puzzle today. i’ll see you later, yeah?” AND EVERYONE ELSE THINKS YOU’RE ENGAGING IN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES BUT YOU’RE REALLY JUST DOING PUZZLES WITH YUUTA IN HIS DORM

- aaaaawww the concentration on his face i bet (sorry i went out on this one yuuta is my favourite if you can’t tell)

gojo satoru

- i feel like out of everyone here gojo is the most likely to say “alright fuck it” and decide to bring you somewhere instead of wasting time in his bed

- how you managed to get into his bed when you’re not dating is beyond me but anyways- i think gojo is just the epitome of the image of driving around at night, you know? there are some off chances that you do fall asleep, and he stays around in his room until morning to protect you. please, i can just imagine him mindlessly scrolling on his phone from over his desk, glancing over at you from time to time to make sure you’re okay.

- cuddles? hell yeah. be careful, cause he sleeps w/out a shirt …

- no cap seriously cuddling with gojo has got to be the best thing. it’s kind of awkward sometimes because you’re trying to find a part of his figure to rest on that isn’t rock hard (i really wasn’t talking about his dick here but i wrote it and now it sounds like an implication so i’ll leave it LMAO)

- the cutest thing…. is gojo coming to his room after a long day and he just sighs and falls into your arms, you know? he might be a cocky bastard but at the end of the day, he still uses infinity. sometimes he’s intolerable but he craves human touch just as much as the next person

- will grope you if you’re not careful DHFBJD

- will whine incessantly throughout the night if you’re too far apart from him and will demand to be cuddled

nanami kento

- the only relatively sensible one

- cares about your wellbeing enough to the point where he has all sorts of necessities for you in his house just in case you come over. he’s got food in the fridge, there’s his half with all the food he likes eating, and the right side filled with your favourite beverages, snacks, fruits, etc etc

- apologises for not being able to stay up cause well.. he still has work the next day he needs to sleep nanami isn’t out here acting reckless lmfao this guy loves routine

- gave you his spare key and all <3 the first time you told him about your insomnia he was all blank for a second, took out his phone and began scrolling.

- “this is my phone number. if you ever need anything, call me. i’m stopping by tomorrow to bring you my spare key should you wish to stay. also, please don’t steal my silverware. satoru’s stolen enough of my cutlery.”

- he was actually really chill with sharing a bed, respected your boundaries and wouldn’t cuddle but every. single. damn. time. that you woke up. in. the. morning. he always had you pulled into his chest!!!! with his chin tucked on your head!!!

- nanami would be so unapologetic LMFAO “i guess it’s just a bad dream”

- also showed you how to make good coffee if you can’t sleep and don’t want to feel dead

toji fushiguro

- oh boy

- alright so where do i start LMFHAIDHGH

- okay, so, pretend this is a perfect world where staying the night with toji does not equal to being railed

- i’d like to think that despite his past trauma with the zen’in clan he still manages to sleep okay at night. there’s some occasional days where he pulls all nighters and relies on caffeine to keep him going throughout the day.

- and realistically? like all monster cock sex god toji aside? i feel like he sleeps easier when you’re around. it makes him kinda soft HDHFHSHFB please- i’m really sobbing at the thought of this

- let’s say you came over one time but you had to get up to grab a glass of water from the kitchen, toji woke up in the middle of the night and literally felt around the bed with one arm for you. he legit had to look up and mf let out the BIGGEST scoff of disdain because he thought!!! he was having!!! a dream!!! and he was angry as shit that you weren’t there!!!!

- dude was about to murder someone and cock his gun but then he heard the tap turn on in the kitchen and started listening respectfully

-literally clambered out of bed with his 6 foot something self

- wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled your back into his broad chest, almost made you spill your drink in the process but it was so. worth. it.

- lips pressed up against your ear and he croaked in the same morning voice that megumi uses, like father, like son. you could feel his tone rumble through his throat up against your spine.

- “come back to bed.”

sukuna ryomen

- why

- i’m joking all you sukuna fuckers (myself included) i love all of you

- i think that sukuna would mock you for it, he’s just genuinely an asshole but that’s his way of showing his affection for you. realistically, to everyone else (besides megumi HSBFHSHD) he wouldn’t bat an eye. and even for a curse, even for his tone and questions being REALLY condescending, you can tell he’s trying

- he’s actually a real sweetheart when he wants to be, like when he said jogo has potential? sukuna isn’t always a prick i guess

- “again?” sukuna murmurs from the corner of his room. you only let out a meek “yeah, nevermind” before you try leaving.

- “who said you can leave?”

- bipolar, perhaps?

- “come here.” he pats the space beside him, shifting up onto his side to face opposite where you’ll be laying.

- he’ll glance down at you and brush his thumb against your cheekbone before letting out a small sigh. he realises you’re genuinely struggling to fall asleep and aren’t here to play.

- “tell me what’s bothering you.” sukuna mutters, running a finger through your hair.

- “you sure? it’s a long list.”

- “i’ve got time to spare.”

choso

- BABY!!!!! he’s so precious iSWEAR

- talk about sweet this man comes over to YOUR dorm / room :(

- “i don’t know what snacks you like so i brought a ton. hope that’s okay.” HBDHFHD

- movie marathons!!! but i think he puts on the most boring ones so that you can fall asleep… by the end of the night, it’s usually the two of you cuddled up together, quietly snoring away with the ambience of the tv in the background.

- will have weird conversations with you at 4am debating aliens and conspiracy theories!

- i bet he loves buzzfeed unsolved!!! not really horror movies but those kinds of documentaries? and i feel that choso would be big time comforting… some of those buzzfeed unsolved videos are hella scary at night istg i can watch them fine during daylight but the second it turns dark i’m hollering with crucifixes and salt by the door

- nevertheless, i think it would be really cute if choso noticed that, you know?

- he’d turn to look at you for a while and softly be like,

- “hey.”

- he’d ruffle your hair and pull you in close before whispering “it’s okay. i’m here.”

- even if your insomnia means falling asleep at 8am after not sleeping the entire night, like yuuta, he’d stay there and wait for you to wake up. would probably scold people nearby the hallways and tell them to shut up so you can sleep lmao

IZ week 2020

so i wasn’t gonna do this because I didn’t think the prompts were very good for writing to, but I remembered the last day’s prompt was “role swap” so I decided to do something small and quick for it. this is all 7 days in one post. the first and last ones are drabbles and one of them is an au idea

@invader-zim-week​ here u go!!!

Day 1. Angst or Fluff 

Zim’s denial skills are god tier, but even they have their limits.

Drabble. I think this is the turning point for my eventual found family au

“When are you going to get it through your thick head that the Tallests aren’t coming?” Dib flings his arms out wide in his exasperation

“They’re just…!” Zim fumbles a bit, clenching and unclenching his fists. “The Armada is a million light years away! It takes time to travel that far, obviously. It took me six of your months to get here from Conventia and the Massive is further away from here now than that. They’ll come! You’ll see! And then you’ll be sorry!” Zim’s face is drawn tight. He’s tense all over, shoulders drawn up to his jaw, antennae pressed flat to his head, and normally Dib prides himself on reading Zim like an open book, but he’s too far gone in his own annoyance to see the warning signs.

It’s because he doesn’t see these red flags that Dib proceeds to stick his own foot in his mouth with his next words. “Maybe if you weren’t such an idiot and opened your eyes, you’d see the truth—that they dumped you here to get rid of you.”

“YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW THAT?” Zim explodes, planting his tiny hands in Dib’s chest and shoving. The boy lands painfully on his ass. “I’m not stupid, Dib.” His name is spat like an insult. “I know they don’t care about me! Why do you think I try so hard?”

Dib gapes at Zim, looking up at him for once, stunned into silence. “I.” He swallows. “You know?”

“Of course, I know.” Zim’s voice is a low hiss and his eyes are narrowed to slits. “You don’t get banished and then just get over it. You don’t get put on trial to defend your life, forced to relive your worse mistakes, and get sentenced to death, only to be saved by freak miracle, and never acknowledge it happened.” Zim takes a deep breath and crosses his arms over his chest. Dib supposes he means for it to look intimidating, but it looks more like he’s holding himself together. “I’ve always known.”

“Why do you try so hard then? If you’ve always known there was no point?” Dib has to ask, has to know, has to hear the words from Zim’s own mouth.

Zim purses his lips and turns away. “There was always a point.” He falls silent for a moment, one antenna twitching up a bit in thought. “I just… I thought if I was just a little better, if I accomplished something important for once, that… I don’t know, that maybe I’d.” He pauses and grits his teeth. “Maybe if I actually managed to take over this filthy planet I’d be worth something for once.”

Day 2. Be Gay Do Crime (LGBTQA+ headcannons)

Dib is bi/pan/demi-ro, Gaz is lesbian, Zim is ace/demi-ro

Headcanons.

Dib seems like the kind of guy that would both take whatever kind of relationship he could get, but also appreciate it. Dib isn’t afraid to work for what he wants and isn’t afraid of things that are “not normal” so I see him being the type to not care about the gender of whoever he eventually decides to date. However, because Dib’s been burned in the past, he would need a deep and sincere emotional relationship to see someone as a potential romantic partner.

Gaz is just a big lesbian. Girls, man.

Zim is ace all the way baby!!! He’s just not interested, and sure, part of that is me projecting, but it just feels right for Zim to just… not care. He has no interest and doesn’t care for sexual attraction regardless of whether or not Irkens do/can/will have sex or not. On the other hand, Zim has expressed a softer side before and I can see him being able to maybe eventually develop romantic feelings for someone if he actually manages to get close enough to them for those kinds of feelings to even emerge. It would take a lot of time and a deep, meaningful friendship, but Zim has shown he’s capable of love. He just has to let himself feel it.

  Day 3. Fandom Appreciation

Found family fuck yeah

Headcanons.

I’m still in the process of thinking about how I wanna go about my found family au so here’s just some initial ideas

After ETF, Zim self isolates for a bit. The florpus hole was his Last Ditch Effort plan and had it succeeded, he knew he would have been destroyed too. He was okay with it. He had made peace with it. However, it failed, and now he’s forced to reflect on said failure

The Massive doesn’t escape the florpus. They’re gone, completely. If they the ship does manage to get out, it’s not in one piece

I initially couldn’t decide if The Trial should come Before ETF or After but I think im gonna say before so the Massive doesn’t have to come back lmao

Before too long, Zim jumps back into the planning/scheming swing of things, but his ideas are never more than petty crimes and being a huge annoyance

Dib gets really annoyed with him and they have a big argument

Zim finally admits to knowing of his own Defectiveness

Dib reluctantly feels bad for him and backs off a bit to let Zim have his space

Zim, however, sees this as a betrayal and redoubles his efforts to get his attention

Somewhere along the way, Skoodge comes back and Zim backs off of Dib a bit, having someone else to focus attention on

Dib eventually begins to offer Zim his hand in friendship (phrased as a truce at first) and they finally make steps towards getting along

They realize they actually really like being friends

Zim eventually realizes that he’s made a life for himself, outside of the Empire

Eventually Zim, Skoodge, GIR, Minimoose, Dib, and Gaz form their own little family and explore space and hunt cryptids

(I love cryptid hunter and space exploration aus holy shit)

Day 4. If IZ had a different setting/time period

Cyberpunk??? Sure

Potential idea maybe.

Cyberpunk dystopian future

Aliens and humans intermingle, both on and off Earth

The Irken Empire has gotten bigger

Technology is advanced and cybernetics are widely known/produced

Idk man I don’t know a lot about cyberpunk, maybe this should be more for the aesthetic

Day 5. Aesthetic

Big shrug man idk

Headcanons, thoughts.

I’m a big fan of fashion Zim, and whenever I get the chance I give him clothes that are both cute and comfortable

Galaxy print leggings are a personal favorite of mine to give him

One time I wrote a little ficlet/oneshot where he wore a skirt. I should publish that some day

Uhhhhhh okay so. Dib has veeeeeery big early 2000s emo/punk vibes tbh

Scene kid GIR always makes me laugh

Gaz could pull off pastel goth like no one’s business

I’ve been here long enough to witness emo/scene hair wig Zim and his eventual fall lmfao

Pretty much everyone that redesigned them back in the day gave Zim emo kid hair that fall perfectly over one eye it was WILD

 Day 6. What if IZ was a different Genre?

Uhhhh does “fantasy instead of scifi” count?

Potential idea maybe. (oops it ended up being a fantasy/modern magic au haha ooooops)

Instead of being an alien, I had the idea of, maybeeeeee Irkens are like. Elves maybe, or perhaps some kind of fae. (I don’t know much about fae, oops)

Okay bear with me here, this is all coming together in real time.

The Irkens (which is what I’m gonna call their clan or faction or subrace or whatever) still want to be the rulers or something over the humans/other mystical beings. This world of magic is hidden from humans and they live blissfully unaware. There are invaders all over the place, using magic and glamors to trick humans into thinking they’re also humans. Zim is one such invader and just to happens to end up in Dib’s town, whereupon he enrolls in Dib’s school, pretending to be a transfer student.

I have no idea why or how the Irkens invade or what methods they use, but since my biggest experience with elves is through DND, I’m going to say they’re functionally similar to certain DND elf races.

So anyway, Zim ends up in Dib’s class and Zim’s glamor just Doesn’t Work on Dib for whatever reason (maybe Dib passed his Wisdom saving throw while literally everyone else failed, idk) and so Dib can immediately see Zim for what he is.

Dib is still into paranormal type stuff, though in his world, he’s less about cryptids and aliens and more about the magical species/world(s) that he KNOWS exists. His big goal in his au is similar to canon in that he wants to expose it all for recognition and love from his father.

Zim, meanwhile, he just wants to prove himself, just like canon. I can’t decide how I want the Irken hierarchy to go in this au—that’s something to think about later, when I have more time—but whatever it is, Zim is either a) not very good at it, b) not suited for it, c) ridiculed for not fitting in to it, or d) a combination of any or all of these things. (or secret option e) he rejects it but has no where else to go. On the other hand, it maybe be none of these things.)

GIR is here too though he’s probably not a robot. Maybe he’s another kind of magical being, or, hell, maybe he’s just Zim’s little brother. I’d be okay with that.

Gaz can also see through glamors but she just doesn’t care. Tak shows up at some point to get revenge, and Skoodge also shows up at some point to stay with Zim and be his friend.

Zim is bad at blending in at first, but he eventually Does get better, since he’s not totally isolated from other Irkens here and he also doesn’t Look like an alien.

(I’m thinkin’ elves in this au look Mostly human but with a few differences. Since I’m biased and this is MY fantasy world, damnit, elves are just. Really Pretty. Ethereal and elegant and graceful (for the most part—there are always exceptions) and they’re also great at magic. Maybe Zim isn’t all that great at magic, I dunno. I’ll figure something out.)

This ended up being less of a genre change and more of a whole ass au, lol oops

Day 7. Role swap

Chanting: human zim au human zim au human zim au human zi

Drabble. This is for an ongoing species swap au that i’ve had in development for the last few years. i haven’t posted anything for it yet, but I’ve thought about it a lot

Dib freezes as Zim points the plastic water gun at his head. Zim’s eyes are narrowed, lips pursed, and he adjusts his grip almost nervously. Behind him, Gir is holding a bucket full of water balloons and a pair of neon green star shaped sunglasses. It’d be cute if Dib wasn’t aware of how painful Earth water is to his Irken skin.

Zim finally lowers his gun slightly. “I want some answers, alien.” He looks Dib over with critical eyes. “Who are you really, and why are you here?” He reaches back and Gir hands him a water balloon with a big smile. “And you better tell the truth or I’ll bust this over your big head.”

Dib grimaces and watches the balloon. “My name Dib, and I’m a scientist. I’m an Irken, from Irk, and I’m here to learn more about life on this planet.” He holds his hands up, hoping to placate the human gesture for surrender. “I’m not here to harm you or anyone else, promise.”

Zim huffs. “Yeah right. I bet you just came here to laugh at the locals.” He puts on a mocking voice and waves the gun and balloon as he speaks. “‘Stupid, stinking humans. They can’t even travel beyond their own moon, yet. What morons. I bet they descended from pigs with how horrible and stupid they are.’” He jams the gun against Dib’s chest. “Tell me I’m wrong.”

Dib bites his lower lip and looks away. He can’t deny he hasn’t thought something similar since arriving on Earth, but Zim didn’t have to be so crude and blunt about it.

The two are at a standoff for almost a minute before Zim blows out a long sigh and steps back. He turns to put the balloon back in the bucket, gives Gir a pat on the head, and shoots Dib one last glare. “Stay away from me, Dib. I have enough problems to deal with without having to worry about whether or not it’s safe for my brother to go to school or if I need to watch my back while walking my dog.”

“I wouldn’t hurt you,” Dib says, a little put out.

Zim scoffs and rolls his eyes. “Yeah, I’ve heard that one before. I know better than to believe it.” He turns and tries to smile at Gir but it comes out a little twisted and sad. “C’mon Gir. Let’s go home and get Minimoose and take him to that dog park you like so much.”

Gir gasps and lets out a cheer. “Can we go get ice cream afterwards?”

Zim gives a little laugh, smile turning a bit more genuine. “Yeah, sounds good.”

As they walk away Dib can’t help but wonder why he ever thought Zim was an Irken himself.
