Seeing her mom and grandma make me think either Maomao hasn't reached that level of hotness yet or Lakan's genes did something to Fengxian's genes

NGL though Maomao's mother side has a special kind of beauty blood and it might be a bit sad she might turn into a sexy goddess but I love my medicine crazed cat all the same

I think it’s the dad’s side that’s messing everything up 😭🥲 Maomao‘s like 17 in the anime rn…? While we can’t rule out her receiving a growth spurt at random so late, I personally doubt it.

Like you’ve said, both Fengxian and the Madam in her prime were such ethereal beauties, they had to have proper nutrition and likely didn’t do exhausting physical labor (welllllll…) when they were growing up/in their teens.

It makes sense that they were high ranking courtesans at some time??

I haven’t read the LN so I don’t know what the family on the dad’s side looks like but I’m assuming they’re all tiny? 😅

But doesn’t matter! Maomao has other great assets 😊🥹

bucktommies really do be vining rn. cause what do you mean all the other characters are going through SHIT, while buck is in his rom com era, getting wined and dined by his hot pilot boyfriend???

We love that for Evan Buckley! That man went through so much trauma and now he just gets to kiss and swoon over his boyfriend? Yes, baby, live your life!

ik this is for different fandom but this post just made me bigger believer of impotent hiromi :3 chainsmoker AND can't get his dick hard?? sign me the fuck up

angst, smoking, minors/ageless/blank blogs dni

instead of being a funny situation that you'll be telling your friends about for years to come, nicotine-induced impotence!higuruma is one big downer unfortunately. his smoking is definitely tied to the stress of his job and how burnt out he feels by it and the system, all of which bleeds into his personal life and it's hard to know if he can't get it up bc of the smoking or bc of his depression (or some larger medical condition that he's too unmotivated to see a doctor about).

he's tried to give up smoking, but all it takes is one long 14-hour day (of which there are many) to have him crawling into bed beside you in the early hours of the morning smelling like stale cigarettes. you don't ever press him about it, knowing that ultimately the decision to quit needs to be his and his alone.

but no matter how much you assure him that you understand how hard it is to give up an addiction, he can't help but let the cynicism that's begun to fester inside of him lash out.

"you want me to quit, don't you?" he asks unprompted over dinner. it's the first night in a while that he's been off work early enough that you can actually share dinner together and you suggested going out to the restaurant around the corner -- one that has an ashtray at every table.

"yes, I wish you would quit," you answer, glancing at the cigarette perched between his index and middle fingers. "but I wish for a lot of things that are out of my control. I wish it would stop raining so much. I wish we could win the lottery. you'll quit when you're ready and I'll be there to help you."

the sincerity in your eyes is too much for him and he takes a long drag from his cigarette. your sincerity is wasted on a world as corrupt and unjust as this one.

it's wasted on a man like him.

"really? you don't miss getting fucked?" he continues, unable to quell the urge to keep pushing you.

"hiromi!" you snap, looking around to make sure that no one heard him. thankfully the restaurant is busy enough that no one is paying you any attention.

"are you embarrassed that your partner can't get it up? you keep saying it doesn't bother you." in fact, you've said it on many occasions, but always in soft reassurances whispered into his ear as you hold him close from behind. you've never said it with as much derision as he says it now.

"I'm embarrassed about discussing our sex life in public," you hiss angrily. you then close your eyes and take a deep breath, paying no mind to higuruma's secondhand smoke that fills the space between you.

when you meet his gaze again, he can see the slight sheen to your eyes. it seems like he's finally pushed you far enough.

"I can't keep having this same fight over and over again, hiromi," you tell him, your shoulders sagging under the weight of your resignation. "I tell you that I don't mind the long hours or the smoking or the intimacy issues or this self-destructive spiral that you're in and you continue to doubt me at every turn."

you pause to let out a heavy sigh, and when you next speak, your voice breaks.

"I love you. why can't you just let me?"

it's a question he doesn't know the answer to. it's one that he refuses to have the answer to.

all he can do is bring his cigarette to his lips and take another long inhale.

hii... what's ur fav au

Killer is my favorite I love that trauma bean sm it's crazy-

Like.

He was evil, chaotic, and sadistic. But then he gets better??? Like hello- I love that sm that he escapes from Nightmare and works on himself and finds peace, and is able to be with the people he loves and cares about, and moves away from being a tool/machine rather than being considered just that, not only by the public multiverse. But also what he considered himself because of the conditioning he had to go through, that emotions are unnecessary or, everything he does is in the eyes of Nightmare. WHEN HE HAS A CHOICE AND HE GETS THAT EVENTUALLY.

And it makes me so happy to see that.

While I do like seeing some fanon interpretations where Killer is a very silly, chaotic, murderous skele, and is happy with Nightmare and the rest of the gang, if it were to be a Dadmare setting.

And when it comes to most ships and stuff I'll hear you out, platonic or romantic ships. EXCEPT FOR KILLERMARE- no tank u- no matter how that one is- you do you- but not my thing thank youuuuuu

I don't like the hypersexualizing to the point like Killer wants to have sex with everyone- or that he would like sexually assault people. I don't think that's ever in range for his character, Canon, or Fanon-

But. I feel if people did portray him as hypersexual- then there is ways to do it, so he isn't just going around and being a total asshole to people if that makes sense-

Ohhhhhh, can you share more about Romance and Reason?! Please 😃🙏❤️

Ahhh certainly, friend! Thanks for sending in this ask too 💜 I have some really rough draft ideas for teacher!Frank Adler and teacher!female reader:

Romance and Reason tropes/ideas:

she and Frank will be co-workers, working within either a high school or college (tbh I’m not too sure which I wanna do yet so really TBD).

I plan on having some kind of established relationship there. Maybe she is Mary’s old teacher, or she used to be friends with Franks sister/childhood best friends, etc. just because I cannnot leave the established relationship trope alone lol I love it sm!

Frank will definitely be teaching philosophy again!

Frank will definitely also be a tortured soul. I’m thinking that it may still have to do with the throes of raising Mary, maybe as Mary grows up to be Diane’s age around when she passed— or some sense of Mary’s development causing friction btwn Reader and Frank (just not too sure yet)!

Franks mom will also have something to say about it.

Overall though, it’s a story about reader and Frank, reader who has gone through her own sense of trauma— and how these two people learn to love again or be vulnerable with other people again!

Not so rigid or logical, but genuinely emotional and connecting with each other.

That’s all I have so far but I’m thinking I need something else to pizazz or thicken the plot!! I’d love to talk more about it if you have anything in particular that you would love to read about these two :)

I’m fucking obsessed with mac n ketchup Stan I require all the lore

C/W for multiple triggering themes ie arson, sui ideation and thoughts, family drama, s/h, alcoholism, ableism, all that not so fun stuff

AAAA okay so, basically spoilers, this is loosely based on an RP my fiancé and I have been doing since January of 2023, and this AU was insoired by the ocs we created in that, so in the MNK AU, Kyle had met this woman, Grace, in college and married her despite Sheila not liking her, but Kyle was in a “grr I’m a grown man, Ma, I know what I’m doing” and married her anyways (I know this isn’t stan but it plays into Stan’s character); so Sherri is born, and Kyle, Yknow, works and has his emotional shaky relationship with his mom, and Sherri was actually named after Sharon, who Kyle went to mostly because he was like “oh shit idk how to be a parent what have I done”. Naturally, he turns to his SBF to be the designated baby sitter.

Stan fell in love with Sherri from the moment he first held her, and was a Godfather at first. Now Stan, in this au, thought he was bi for the longest time, but once he hit like 20 he realized that maybe, just maybe, he leaned more toward one field than the other. He’s also demisexual, and agender, but uses he/him to keep things simple, just fyi. He talks to Wendy because, especially after experiencing Sherri for the first year, he wanted a baby of his own, so Wendy was a surrogate mother for his son, Nathan.

Now for more STAN background, in the au, he is on the autism spectrum, like that’s a BIG part of his character in the RP and in this AU, so things weren’t easy for him as a neurodivergent person, so he did struggle a lot in social situations and in school, and there was a time where he and Kyle kinda drifted apart.

The event of Tegridy farm burning down IS canon here, and Stan DOES have PTSD from it, in a unique way. The man is OBSESSED with fire but also is a pyrophobe due to the event. In this AU it was kinda more so an accident, because he STARTED the action as a reaction to his intrusive and depressive thoughts BUT as the flames grew stronger and taller, he heard Shelley calling for help from the barn and instead of like- waiting for help and all that and letting her possibly die, Stan actually runs into the flames and rescues her BUT almost gets trapped himself.

It gets deemed as a wild fire incident (Randy blames Stan but SP P.D. Isn’t the smartest and doesn’t wanna deal with Randy), and Shelley and Stan have matching burn scars on their legs. Stan also suffered a HUGE asthma attack from both the smoke and the weed in the air, enough for him to have nightmares to come where he failed to save Shelley/got trapped in the flames (Sharon’s cries for her babies haunts him).

Anyways, fast forward to about Junior/Senior year of college (Tegridy burning down was Jr. high, Freshman year was Randy and Sharon’s divorce, Randy got custody of the kids bi weekly on the weekends because of course the system failed the kids), Crimson Dawn gets back together, legit, starting off as a cover band, and Stan and Kyle’s friendship is somewhat repaired by this time, Stan is still on and off with Wendy.

So, they graduate HS, go to college, Kyle meets Grace and impulsively gets married just to prove a point to Sheila and Gerald (who OBVIOUSLY favor Ike, not really, but Kyle FEELS like that’s the case), Kyle doesn’t talk to Sheila for a hot minute, Grace gets knocked up, and Kyle’s like “oh shit oh fuck oh shit”, turns to Sharon for help, yada yada.

Now Grace is a very head strong and independent woman, and she values her skillset and career choice (fashion designer) above almost all else and she’s almost never home, Kyle’s stuck with the baby and is stressing with college courses and work and his non existent relationship with his mom.

Stan can pretty much only help with one of those things, so he sets up play dates with Sherri and Nate, and supports his SBF best he can (while also running away from his own emotional problems, because he’s Stan and he’s stubborn)

Skip a few years, and Grace gets knocked up (again), still the same old Grace, so now Kyle’s juggling work, lack of familial relationship, AND two kids, except Godfather Stan is right at his side the whole time.

By the time Sherri is 5-6, Nate is 4-5, and Spencer is about 3, Grace basically chooses to pursue her job in New York over staying with Kyle, and even the kids.

Stan, of course, steps up and continues to raise the kids on the side while Kyle is dealing with this woman that he believed would be compatible with someone like him, Kyle and Grace get divorced (it’s not pretty), and Kyle slowly realizes “oh my god the partner I’m looking for is right next to me”. Because all he wanted was for someone to accept him and his kids, and who’s done that the entire time? Stan.

Now, back to more Stan focused: Stan brings the kids to the studio a lot and plays music for them, but that also means that the kids (Sherri especially) have seen some of Stan’s worse moments. He never really SNAPS per se, but he does have moments where they (she) can tell he’s not really ALL THERE.

Stan always struggled with something, whether it was alcohol, or some form of s/h, ranging from avoiding sleep, to punching walls (or himself), but he never does it in front of the kids; Sherri, unfortunately, is observant as Hell. So is Spencer, both of which are ATTACHED to Stan like duct tape, so they end up telling Kyle “hey, I know you’re going through a thing but maybe you and Daddy/Stada can help each other out (Spencer calls Stan “Stada”), so then it becomes like a counselor/boyfriend relationship from Kyle to Stan, and Stan’s broken mindset finally gets the attention it deserves.

Stan has had a record of “spacing out” when pyrotech goes off on stage, and this is one of the first triggers Kyle makes note off, after a concert that takes place near Stan’s birthday, about a year after they get together, which inspires Kyle and the kids to get him an emotional support dog, a girl Swiss Shepard named Zappy, named a little after Sparky. In the AU, Sparky had a little lightning bolt on his paw pad, and so does Zappy, so it’s believed that Zappy is a reincarnation of Sparky. Stan keeps her close to try and keep himself grounded, especially in crowds. She’s often back stage during concerts just in case.

And that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. That and Stan’s shoulder injury in this AU came from him rescuing Shelley in the barn, one of the pillars fell and slammed into it, hard enough to dislocate it. Also, another fun fact, Stan bleached his hair once in HS, and later, Sherri helps him bleach it a second time.

Stan also helped Kyle reconnect with his parents, AFTER they get married; Sheila got to meet her grandkids, and Kyle and his parents have a decent relationship, at least in good enough terms to talk to each other again.

Kyle took Stan’s last name in their marriage as he wasn’t in good terms with his parents again YET, and Stan ended up adopting Kyle’s kids legally and also changing their last names.

Just got emotional thinking about Jade taking his s/o to France to visit his grandma’s grave after they got out of the town 🩵🩵🩵 wanted to share my misery with you

Your no.1 anon :))

NAURRRRR

After losing so many people in fromville, and not being able to take their bodies back, visiting a grave seems almost... Wrong.

But it's Jade, and it's his grandma, and you want to honor her memory, so you go. And when you arrive, you both arrange the flowers on her grave, and sit down in front of it.

What gets you more emotional isn't how Jade is telling her about everything that happened - it's how he is so happy to have gotten through it with you, and survived.

At some point, you both go back home. And when you do, he does the same - he talks to the picture of Tian-Chen right there, on the table you got in a corner of the living room, with incense and a bowl for food offerings.

He tells her how the trip went, and how he was sure his grandma would love to meet her.

I'm not crying, you're crying

Instead of using ice packs Copia uses frozen Capri Sun’s to chill his food in the lunch bag.

No stop it. This is the cutest thing.

He still does it as an adult because, "it's convenient and eco-friendly." But really he just likes having a cold af Capri Sun with his salami and mustard sandwich.

You catch him mid suck of the juice and he's just wide-eyed and surprised. Chokes on the drink. 💀

HEYO!!! I know we barely interact but here’s my edit of Fox!Quicksilver in the style of Wolverine and the X-Men

Thought you may like it 👀

Ooh noice.

As a token of my appreciation, have this contextless meme for the main fic I've been working on for almost a year now (Spider-By-Proxy/earth 311619)

(Also I hate that my first thought when I saw this was "why is he so lorge?" Lol/j)

[melodious-oblivion]

[thejudgingtrash]

I feel like I've hallucinated a fanfic. It was a giyuushino one, modern-au. Kanae and Shinobu owned a clinic for kids. Giyuu was the estranged son of a rich, crime family. Giyuushino had kids together, and they were slowly getting back together. I can't even remember what website it was on lol. If you have any idea what it is, I'd appreciate it!

This sounds interesting but I have absolutely no idea because I mostly read canon compliant/slightly diverging fics and rarely modern AUs 😭

Maybe the audience can help out with this one?? 🙇🏾‍♀️ any Giyushino fanfic connoisseurs in the building?? 😭

Tbh I would love to read the fic tho the premise sounds fun as hell!

[evankinkley]

It's all because of Buddie. If you replaced Tommy with Eddie, all of their complaints would disappear, even if every word of the script stayed the same.

Tommy is a downer...Eddie is sarcastic.

Tommy is predatory...Eddie is kinky.

We all know without a doubt, Buddie stans would eat up the scenes with no changes except the character.

And no one baited them. Ryan said Eddie is heterosexual. Oliver said he didn't want to do a story where a newly bi man sought out their best friend. Both made it clear Buddie, is currently and with no plans of changing it, just a very close friendship.

I have nothing to add to this.

Hi Mel!

It’s springtime! Who has hayfever? Ian or Mickey…or both? 👀

ahhh! happy spring beloved 🌸🌿🌼🌱🍅☀️

my heart tells me it’s mickey - i can just see him all red faced and sneezy, bitching about how he can’t see shit through his watery-ass itchy eyes 😭 meanwhile ian is like “you can go inside????” to which mickey says “😒🖕🏻” if you think the inability to breathe through both nostrils is gonna deprive mickey the pleasure of watching his husband do manual labor, sweaty and covered in dirt, while he gets to sit in the shade, drink a beer, and look pretty (don’t tell him how leaky and swollen he looks 😂), then you don’t know SHIT

but the image of ian sneezing his way through garden season is also too sweet 🥺 he holds up his first tomato of the year, like a proud dad, ready for mickey to take a photo when— 🥴🤧 ACHOOO 😭

i’m on my phone so this example is the best i can do aldjsks

[narumi-gens]

Is Gen completely opposed to threesomes in general or does he just hate hoshina ?

ooh this is interesting. Narumi is not opposed to threesomes, but it's something that the kn8!chaos couple never end up being able to try out. while Narumi would eagerly agree to any woman you proposed to invite into your bed (unless that woman was Ashiro), you don't think you could handle the smug look that would forever be etched onto his face after having two women lavish his cock with attention at the same time.

as for a threesome with another man, there's no one you could suggest that Narumi would ever agree to, simply because that would require Narumi to acknowledge another man as his equal -- which he'll never do. if you're being completely honest with yourself, you have a general idea that the entire fantasy would be one big disappointment in reality, because there's a 99% chance that Narumi would constantly be shoving the other person out of the way with an arrogant "let the expert show you how it's done."

but that doesn't stop you from trying to make a threesome happen. because while you may have agreed to give up on the idea of ever getting to fuck Soshiro, there are two Hoshina brothers and you've been meaning to take a trip out to Himeji. and if you just happened to stop by the Sixth Division and check in on their operations team while you were there, it would only be a common courtesy to meet with their captain. hopefully the eldest Hoshina brother will be quicker to take you up on your offer than his younger sibling. you'll figure out how to convince Narumi later.

💕 send me any and all your asks about the kn8!chaos couple 💕

MEL, HEAR ME OUT

what if killer was like, extremely dyslexic, like bro can barely speak without messing up

YES- Holy shit, he is like super crazy smart in his respective ways, that he can't get it out without stuttering or mumbling and when someone asks him what's he saying he goes to write but even that is difficult to understand so both Killer and the person he is talking to end up frustrated-
