brothers reaction to mc with a long skincare routine

✎ warnings: the word blood

"Finally!" You grinned to yourself, hauling a large package on the HoL dining table. Inside were all of your favorite products; hair oils, body scrubs, perfumes, face washes, serums, and the like.

Since you had been summoned unexpectedly to the Devildom, you were forced to use the oddest local products; a facewash that burned your flesh, deodorant that smelled suspiciously like blood, and hair masks that were green and slimy.

As much as you loved Devildom culture, it was tough to find products that didn't harm your human skin and hair, even with Asmodeus's help. So you were glad when Barbatos personally cleared your package from the human world at Devildom customs, where it had been stuck under inspection for the past month.

Later that night while you were indulging in your products, a certain brother came to visit you in your room.

LUCIFER would probably sigh at the number of products you use. he watches you layer serum over serum on your face with a judgemental expression.

"this long of a routine is a waste of time and money, mc. you could be studying right now.

then you walk by him, sending a wave of the honey-scented body scrub you use in his direction. his resolve threatens to break as his face grows warm. thoughts of running his lips over your sugar- scented neck plague his mind. the next day, lucifer visits the human world to buy everything you use, so you never run out in the Devildom.

MAMMON initially comes to your room to see if you have any luxury items worth much. however, he curiously watches you as you go through your hair and skincare routine, and asks if he can try some products out. he's adorable, obviously excited to be involved in whatever you're doing, and not wanting to be left out.

"can you put that on me too, mc? oh, and that? what does this one do?"

before long, you and mammon are cuddling in bed and watching a movie, waiting for the pink glittery face mask on both of your faces to dry.

LEVIATHAN would be interested in the packaging of your skincare, especially if its those asian brands with anime and hello kitty packaging. he'd declare that he's going to buy skincare products with ruri-chan packaging! he probably won't ask to try your products, since Devildom products work better for him, but he wouldn't protest when you put something on him, just to get one of those stereotypical scenes from romance anime, where the protagonist leans in close and...

"MC, I know you're trying to put serum on my lashes, but y-you're too close!"

SATAN inspects the packaging and ingredients of your skincare, thinking back to his research in chemicals and potions classes. He suddenly cups your face, running his thumb over your soft skin.

"MC, why are you so flustered? I'm just trying to understand your skin composition."

the next day, he uses his knowledge in potions and with a list of the chemicals in your products, recreates all your products, so that you can get them for free.

"S-stop grinning like an idiot, MC. I just did this to expand my knowledge on human products, that's all."

he did it because he loves you

ASMODEUS is absolutely DELIGHTED that your package has come. he had helped you this past month, trying to find products that worked for you in the Devildom, but to no avail. he definitely uses popular human world products as well, but not nearly as much as you. he literally wants to do EVERYTHING with you that night, from showering together to skincare.

"MC, show me absolutely EVERYTHING you do, step by step! We can do our routines alongside each other!"

the two of you have so much fun comparing products and being beauty product nerds together. he promises to give you the angelic essence serum he smuggled from the celestial realm, but only if you get him that a tube of that korean sunscreen he's been eyeing.

"my beautiful angel MC! you're glowing!"

BEELZEBUB would try and eat your products. they just smell so good, like candy, honey, and flowers! after preventing him from gobbling them down in one bite, he curiously watches you. he probably wouldn't ask you to put any products on himself, but he wouldn't mind if you do. he provides emotional support while watching you, completely entranced with how your face glows after every step.

"MC, I know you wanted to put this face mask on me, but I keep licking it off..."

after you're done with your routine, expect a clingy beelzebub, who keeps nuzzling your neck and face for a sniff of the sugary products you use.

BELPHEGOR upon watching your routine begins to feel tired. He doesn't understand why humans (and Asmodeus) need to go through so much effort and products before going to bed. On top of that, humans have to be patient and wait between steps, so their skin absorbs the serums properly!

"I feel sleepy just watching how long your routine is, MC. Doesn't it take too much energy to do so much?"

In an effort to show him that skincare is relaxing, you lay him down in your bed and start running a gua sha on his face. In 5 seconds flat, he's passed out (snoring and everything), from the ice-cold sensation on his jaw as well as your soft hands on his face.

Anime Year in Review

Last year I made a silly post ranking the three shows I happened to watch. This year, I got way more into anime (and manga), so let's do it properly this time

Revue Starlight* - Easy top star spot. This anime was flawless. I watched it twice this year and will be watching it again. The story, the animation, the music were all impeccable. The music, oh my god; I listen to the soundtrack every day. Some of my other favorites on this list I'd only recommend based on your personal tastes, but this show should be watched by everyone. (The sequel and spin-offs, not so much. They all use the revues in a way that completely undermines the premise of the main series)

Heavenly Delusion - So fucking good. Second on this list, but I think it's the best show that came out this year. Deeply traumatic, but in such a satisfying way. The horror elements were so brutal and so well done, and I love that the man-eating monsters were the least gruesome part of the show. If it wasn't for the stinker of the ice monster episode, I think this could've been my favorite anime

Call of the Night* - Adored this show. Yes it's a celebration of the hedonism of vampires, but it's so earnest and down-to-earth with it that it feels so good to watch that I did it twice (sub and dub). I also got into the manga, which is sadly wrapping up next month, but hopefully that prompts an announcement about season 2

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Super chill show, which is a great way to wind down the week. It's such a cool concept too, following the adventurer after the adventure is over. It's just a reflection on life and I love it

The Witch from Mercury (cour 2) - Given that I run a sideblog just for this show, it might be surprising that it's so low on my list, but the second cour was a lot weaker than the first. Not nearly enough of Suletta and Miorine interacting, and way too much chaff following Guel's B-plot. I've said it before, but I think the worst part of this Gundam show is that it's a Gundam show. A+ epilogue though, and Suletta is still my favorite character this year

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - I enjoyed the original comic and the live action movie. I didn't realize this new adaption was really a sequel, but it ended up being a great way to bring the old story to the modern decade. (Two decades later isn't much, but it was very of-its-time)

Spy x Family (cour 2) - Very fun show. Following several viewpoint characters means the individual episodes might be hit-or-miss (as much as I love Anya, the episodes at the school are relatively bland), but the overall package was sweet and enjoyable

Nimona - Another comic I really enjoyed. The movie was strong, although it cut a lot of parts out that I thought were important to the original story

The Orbital Children - Directed by the same person who directed one of my long-time favorites (Dennou Coil), the first two acts of this really felt like a modern update. Stunning visuals, great sci-fi, thrilling adventure. Went totally off the deep in the third act, though

Joshiraku* - As the characters pointed out, adapting a manga that takes entirely inside the green room of a stand-up comedy club is an odd choice. It was off-the-charts hilarious, though. Considering some of the scripts were entirely pun-based, it must've been an immense amount of work to translate, but they absolutely pulled it off

Oshi no Ko - The only reason I watched this show was because the OP was such a banger. (Several fantastic anime songs by YOASOBI this year, and Idol is easily my favorite.) The first, feature-length episode was incredible and I literally cried at the end. If it was a stand-alone movie, it would be a couple of spots higher on this list. The rest of the show was fine, but not really what I was here for. I'll probably still watch season 2 though

Arknights: Prelude to Dawn* - I bounced off the gacha game immediately, but the worldbuilding and character designs seemed cool, so I wanted to give the anime adaptation a chance. The plot was very thin but serviceable enough. At least it looked nice to watch.

The Magical Revolution of ... - Not typing that whole thing out. It was a cute show. The yuri stuff was nice, but I wish for a show about a magical inventor, there was a non-zero amount of magical inventing shown on screen

* indicates the show aired prior to 2023

A lot of shows I really loved this year. Looking forward to next year, the anime I'm most hyped for is obviously Dungeon Meshi. It looks like it's going to be incredible. The second season of Arcane is also scheduled to come out late next year, which is also very exciting. Technically Frieren has a second cour in January, but they're airing both cours as basically a single 24-episode season, so that doesn't really count

For older shows I mean to catch up on, YouTube has recced me clips of probably every single joke from K-On!, and it's really grown on me. Definitely going to watch that soon. I'm also in the mood to watch Bocchi the Rock! again. I should also make myself watch the first couple episodes of PMMM. Nothing I've seen on Tumblr has grabbed me for that one, but it's right in the middle of some of the other shows I was gushing about here and it would be dumb not to try it

Surprise!

Hawks x Male!Reader

Summary: Y/N wanted to give Hawks a gift, but why? No reason! It was just a random day and he felt like it. And Y/N decided to pick up a new hobby!

★☽A/N: I love crocheting, and so, I’mma make the reader a pro at crocheting (Couldn’t be me but I’m still learning:DD) also- Fluff generators >>>

Contents: FLUFF - Reader being good at crocheting

══ ⋆★⋆ ══

Y/N is just walking to the stores during a random day of the week. Hawks was busy during his hero work and patrolling his part of the street. Y/N walked along the racks of items until he stumbled upon a coupon for “Crocheting lessons.” Of course, he was intrigued by this.

Then, it hit him. ‘What if I crocheted something for Keigo?’ It was brilliant! He could learn a new skill and also make a gift for Hawks! He immediately called the number by the time he went home and scheduled the course and paid through online.

In just a few weeks with extra hard work, Y/N managed to crochet at the beginner’s level and as the days went by, he could create all kinds of stuff!! All the crocheted items he created, he would give them away for charity since he didn’t want Hawks to know and to help children in need. All those things involves like: clothes, tote bags, messenger bags, gloves, stuffed animals, etc. It was an excellent skill to develop and it definitely saves money (Except the expensive yarn- It’s super expensive where I come from.)

══

A few days went by as Y/N created the most awesome gift box! It was gonna be filled with Hawks’s favorite sweets, snacks, flowers, etc, including the crocheted items he made.

Hawks started to notice his lover’s suspicious antics but didn’t pay that much attention because of his busy work at his agency and including the increase in crimes ever since All Might retired. 

Y/N ordered a bunch of Lego flowers and Hawks didn't notice the package that arrived. Taking that advantage, Y/N grabbed the package and started to build it and managed to build it all in just one day. Then he went to the stores to pick up some of Hawks's favorite treats and paid for them.

Back at home, he used the box that he bought and put all of the stuff he bought into it. He looked to the side to see the two crocheted items he made, grabbing a roll of wrapping paper and started to wrap the items in it. He wrapped it into an adorable bird patterned wrapping paper. Putting each gift carefully into the big box and writing a handwritten letter.

Grabbing the big box and hiding it in the closet, Y/N covered the box with a bunch of clothes that he left to pile up in his closet. With a mischievous chuckle, he grabbed his phone and texted Hawks.

[Y/N]

Keigo

[Birdbrain]

ye?

[Y/N]

Got a surprise for you!!

[Birdbrain]

Really????

[Y/N]

Yes :DD 

[Birdbrain]

what is it?

[Y/N]

It’s a surprise dumbass

I can’t tell you now!!

[Birdbrain]

awwhhhhh :(( 

Y/N closed his phone with a smile on his face.

All he got to do is wait for his birdy’s arrival

══

Y/N was watching on his phone on the couch when he heard the door open. “What’s my surprise?!” Hawks asked excitedly as soon as he walked into the apartment. “You gotta find it yourself!!” Y/N yelled with a smile on his face, not looking at Hawks. “WHAT? No fair!!” The blonde pouted, taking off his hero costume’s coat and walking up to the sofa. “C’mon love! Give me a hint, please?” Hawks pleaded with puppy eyes.

“It’s in our apartment.” “That’s not a hint!!” Hawks complained, making Y/N chuckle. “Too bad, sweetbird.” Looking up from the couch to face Hawks, grabbing the back of his head and giving him a peck on the lips. “Fine!” Hawks said in defeat, walking around the apartment to find the surprise. “Wait- Are you my surprise?” Hawks asked from the bathroom, “Of course not!!” Y/N yelled out from the lounge. ‘Where could it be?’ Hawks wondered. Then it hit him! ‘The bedroom! Why didn’t I think that earlier.’ He sprinted to the bedroom and practically trashed the room until he stumbled on the closet. He opened the sliding closet door and he saw a peculiar large pile of clothes, grabbing all the clothes and tossing them to the side and found the massive gift that was hidden.

“Found it!!” He yelled. ‘About time.’ Y/N smiled, getting up from the sofa and walked into the bedroom. “Well? Open it.” Hawks smiled at Y/N like a child on Christmas, opening the box’s lid and seeing all kinds of gifts in it. “Today isn’t even my birthday, why on Earth would you prepare this?” He asked, “Just wanted to show my love.” The H/C haired softly smiled.

Opening each gift one by one, he finally came to the two wrapped gifts. “Which one should I open?” Hawks asked, looking at his boyfriend. “I say.. The bigger one.” He replied. Hawks nodded and opened the bigger gift first to see a stuffed animal! It was an axolotl in Hawks’s signature colors. With a dramatic gasp, his eyes glimmered at the sight of the gift. “This is adorable!!” He said, holding the stuffed animal in his hands. Putting the axolotl down, he then opened the other wrapped gift and it was a sweater! But it was in Y/N’s signature colors. “It’s in your colors!” Taking notice of the colors on the sweater. He put it on and looked towards his boyfriend’s E/C eyes. With a smile, he jumped into Y/N’s arms. “Thank you, thank you so much!! I love them!! I love you so dang much!!” He smiled, hugging Y/N in a tight hug.

Y/N chuckled as he hugged him back. “You’re welcome, songbird.” Holding Keigo’s cheek and looking at him with caring eyes. “I would do anything for you.” He said, before kissing Keigo affectionately.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖

hell yes, an excuse to talk about more of my favorite fics :) again, going with stuff from the last year or so

Sweeter Than Fiction

At the end of it all, when the Witchers have united under Geralt’s name, when Geralt stands in front of them, when he tells them that in two days’ time they march for Ard Carraigh— It’s Jaskier who first shouts his agreement, “White Wolf!” The hall seems to hold its breath for a moment and then, a great rumble like thunder in the distance, coming from every voice in the hall, “White Wolf!” Jaskier could swear, even though he’s only one of hundreds, that in that moment, Geralt looks directly at him, golden eyes burning into his soul. Or: the first twenty years of the Warlord of the North's reign as documented by Jaskier of the Cats

Yeah, yeah, it's not finished and all that, but consider this! I love warlord Geralt fics, and I love witcher Jaskier fics, and I just really, really wanted to see these two ideas smooshed together

Ours

“Buck,” Rogers interrupts, appearing next to them. “You ready to go?” “Just a minute, Stevie,” Bucky says smoothly. “Just wanted to see if Tony here wanted to know what it’s like to be appreciated.” Tony is half-expecting Rogers to say something about him being Obie’s omega, but instead, he gives him an appreciative onceover and then says, “Does he know we come as a package deal?” Tony’s brain shorts out at the suggestion.

I've never written a military AU before! This one was a lot of fun, and I loved getting to write the differences in the stuckony relationship vs the obie/tony relationship, plus getting to play a little more with gender biases in omegaverse fics than I usually do.

I Bet You Think About Me

The breakup wasn’t amicable. Steve had always liked most of Tony’s friends. He’d gotten along well with Rhodey and Bruce and Pepper and Natasha. He’d even gotten along reasonably well with Happy, who didn’t like anyone other than May. It had been the other side of Tony’s friend group that Steve hadn’t liked and who had, ultimately, been the wedge that broke them apart.

I don't usually write bitter Steve, but this was a lot of fun to play around with. It was a challenge trying to keep Steve still Steve while also making him angry at the way things ended between him and Tony.

Your Laugh is the Best Sound

Steve tries (and fails) to make Tony a surprise breakfast after a night together.

Schmoop! Humor! Falling in love! All the best things!

Unbearably Adorable

Steve's boyfriend gets stuck in his animal form by one of Loki's spells. Somehow, this is not the hardest part of Steve's day (that would be the Avengers' Instagram account).

Cannot believe it took me, the bear mutual, this long to write a Stevetony bear shifter AU smh

Shay's 2023 Tarot Purchase Round-Up

Unfortunately, I don't have time for a huge review post this year, but here are my top 10 favorite tarot decks that I purchased this year!

10. Dreams Within Dreams Tarot

- This was a Kickstarter I backed last year. The art is beautiful and the artist stated that they were inspired by their favorite anime growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s. The only reason this deck isn't higher on the list is because I found that the whiplash between some cards being fan art and some being original art was too much for me to really connect with it.

Where to buy: Kickstarter exclusive, but still available in various Etsy shops

9. Stars Lighting Up the Night Tarot

- This deck came out of nowhere and instantly became a favorite. I love the night scenes and the multiple versions of some cards so you can customize the deck. It also has the linen card texture I love! I purchased the limited edition version just to get that texture!

Where to buy:

8. Titanic Tarot: Risen Spirits (Titanic Tarot 2nd Edition)

- This version massively improves on the first (which I already loved) by removing the borders and including updated art for the pip cards that better represents the full story of the passengers of the Titanic, including before the voyage and after.

Where to buy: Mostly out of stock, but still available at some Etsy shops and online magic supply stores

7. Sleepwalker Tarot

- I ended up getting the mini because it was all that was left, but I wish I had the full size. The art is so beautiful and Iove how calming the subjects are with their eyes closed. Also, I found the full size and will definitely be purchasing!

Where to buy:

6. Witch Sister Tarot

- I waited TWO YEARS for this tarot and the art alone was worth it. I love the artist's previous deck, and stumbled on some of the art for this one on Etsy while looking for devotional items for selkie and for the Cailleach. It's finally out! The only downside is that it's a Llewellyn deck and has their usual thin cardstock.

Where to buy:

5. Shadowscape Tarot

- An oldie but a goodie. I finally got this after a few years of eyeing it, and it's definitely a great choice for being a mass market deck. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law's art is beautiful. Reminds me of old Amy Brown paintings, but far better executed.

Where to buy:

4. Starspinner Tarot

- I ADORE the art for this deck. It reminds me somewhat of CLAMP art. The art is also inclusive and bright and the deck has four different lovers cards so you can have whatever flavor you wish! This one is also mass market but great quality.

Where to buy:

3. Cozy Witch Tarot

- Of course I expected this deck to be cozy, but I was surprised with just how much I like the whole package. The card subjects are diverse not only in skin color, but in body type as well, which really stood out and made this deck one that I came back to often. The only downside is that the cards are slightly larger than standard size, so they can be difficult to handle at times.

Where to buy:

2. Monsoon Tarot

- This deck honestly has the most beautiful art of any deck I own. I'm always discovering new details in the cards and they range from cozy to dreamlike to grotesque in all the right ways. The cardstock also has that linen/playing card texture over them which makes shuffling a breeze. I use this less to read and more to just wander through and look at.

Where to buy:

1. Spirit Keeper Tarot

This one is hard to get a hold of, but so worth it. I happened to check in while the author still had some of the current edition left in stock after pre-orders on her website and managed to snag one. I LOVE working with this deck. The art is great, but the companion book is really what makes this deck incredible. The book goes over a lot of the inspiration behind each card and the symbolism. The author is of Chinese descent, so she has tied both western and eastern concepts to each card, which she lays out in the book. This has been the main deck I have read with since I got it. S tier deck.

Where to buy:

My June 2024 toy haul got here a few days ago! I'm super happy with all these, particularly the FFVII stuff, the Code Geass light up illustration and Leon of course!

From top left to lower bottom right: Avico Models ChoiPla Smart Daughter EOS/Shikkoku Plastic Model Kits x2; Kamio Japan NARUTO Shippuden A4 Single Clear File Sasuke Uchiha / Dancing; Maisendo NARUTO Shippuden Clear File Itachi, Sasuke; Square Enix Final Fantasy VII STATIC ARTS Mini Cloud Strife Non-Scale Pre-painted Figure; Good Smile Company Nendoroid Resident Evil 4 Leon.

Kennedy Non-Scale Figure; Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Photography Sticker 11Pack BOX; Plum MODELING SUPPLY Glasses Accessory II 1 (Clear) + II 2 (Smoke) Plastic Model; License Agent TV Anime "Black Butler: Public School Arc" Acrylic Stand Design 01 Sebastian Michaelis.

I'm also super happy with the Sasuke and Itachi clear files, although I keep complaining that I need to stop hoarding those! It's hard to stop when it's my favorite characters, in outfits I'll never get to see them in, otherwise. Lol! Also got my first Sebastian Michaelis merch in what seems like an eternity. I don't know if I should be worried, or super happy that we have new Black Butler stuff. DX I got two tiny plastic model kits, but this time I have the full intention to build one. So I got two of the same, also because the black ones were the only ones left in stock. It seems the other colors are now available again. So, if I can afford to, I will get as many of these as I can. They are pretty adorable, and inexpensive. I want to actually try building some, not just hoard because they look adorable in their tiny packaging! (:

[anotherdaveyjacobs]

sorry for the late reply on this but, romeo time!

- First off big headcannon is that my boy is Aro/Ace! i can just. see it so well

- Romeo is still a scruffy dirt poor newsboy but he does have some looks and has seinfeld he’s been a kid; picture getting all those weird “oh you’re gonna be a heartbreaker” one day comments comming to him a lot

- He’s always been very insecure about this and has been nervous about looking too badly or eating too much despite it tiny source of food income

- Back to the aro ace headcannon bit him being in a world where being gay or not straight is illegal and there is zero lgbtq community, figuring out that he doesn’t like women, but also dosent like men is horribly confusing.

- He’s a flirt, a complete egomaniac. But the fact is this is because he sees it more as a defense mechanism, something that gives him control and makes him feel somewhat normal. It can make nobody end up turing around and questioning him on his utter lack of Actual game.

- As mentioned Flirting is something he’s mastered to give him control. Even as a little kid when he was still with his single mother she controlled so much of his life out of fear, and when she either abandoned him or died being put in an orphanage and then later the lodging house made him feel as if he had no control over himself or his life. but being able to play with someone’s emotions where he’s in control is a near soothing power trip that lets him know he still has something going for him, at least. If all he had in a touch world is a nice face and smooth voice, may aswel let it be your weapon

- this man is an idiot but he’s a persuasive idiot. He can butter you up into jumping into a pool with all your clothes on but can’t lie for shit. He’s always been found out on anything he hides or lies about but usually the poor shmuck who finds out ends up getting roped in somehow.

- Modern au headcannons; Loves shitty romance Tv finds it the height of comedy

- also really loves horror

- Deapite his difficulties in the past with food he loves to bake goods when he’s stressed out and packages them all cute too.

- Has two cats named Juliet and Michealangelo (His favorite TMNT charater)

- He loves art but can’t paint for the life of him. not an artist. Jack has tried; Botth have ended up crying hysterically at 3 am over wine glasses because Ro, What The Actual Fuck Is That Dude. What the Fuck.

- Adores animated shows too, especially older ones

- Constantly steals specs glasses. Says them make him look cute but actually just enjoys watching specs stumble around yelling at him to give them back

- Despite only having cats romeo is an huge dog person.

- He enjoys reading thriller novels or fantasy no in between

- Was either a PJO or Warrior cats kid sue me

- Loved maximum Ride too

- Any and every time someone flirts back at him he’s a blubbering uncomfortable mess if it’s not one of the fellow newsies. If it is, they’ll banter for all time but otherwise, he shuts down faster than a mac PC

- Listens to taylor swift. i said it.

okay thanks for letting me talk about my guy my funky dude my good time boy my-

[talesofourworlds]

25 and 26!

Ask the mun!

25. Your character

(ooc: Which one? Okay, but no, not snarky answer time.

All of my muses are favorites of mine in the series for various reasons. So forgive me for the long ramble.

Chloe and Jay were natural choices because they're my favorites to play as in Legendia and just my favorite characters of their party in general. Jay especially grew on me even more than he already had in past playthroughs when I did my most recent run.

While Jade is actually my favorite character in Abyss, I have a lot of love for just about every character in the cast regardless of protag or antag status. Except Mohs. He's like the one exception. So it's natural I gravitate toward that game in particular. To go into depth about every single one of them would take all day. Ion and Mieu are both adorable and the latter needs all the hugs. Tear is so strong of heart and, fun fact, the inspiration for how I do a part of my hairstyle. Asch deserves the world, and Sync... garbage child. I grew very attached to him when I first played the game in high school and never looked back.

Repede and Rita are two of my favorites to play as in Vesperia, and I just love Rita as a character in general. Repede's just cool because how often do you see an animal being playable in a Tales game? Maybe someday I'll bring Flynn onto the blog but today is not the day.

Hubert's my favorite to play as and favorite in general in Graces. And honestly... I relate to him a lot in some ways. Baby boy deserves the world.

Jude is also easily my favorite to play as and favorite character in general in Xillia. I just love the growth he goes through! And even though Ludger isn't my go to playable character in Xillia 2, I love him a lot as a character. I went in to Xillia 2 kind of thinking it would be a similar situation to DotNW where I did not like the new characters apart from Tenebrae and Richter. But Ludger and Elle very quickly won me over. So I gotta give the boyo some love too.

Edna and Eizen pretty much are a package deal even if the games say otherwise. They're both my favorites from Zestiria and Berseria, but Alisha grew on me a lot when I replayed Zestiria recently. She deserves the world, and therefore I shall give it to her. Magilou I didn't originally plan on writing, but after I did a test post as her I just was like 'Okay, yeah, I have to keep writing her.' So I did.

And Aegis is my favorite by default of Crestoria because honestly, he's probably one of the most interesting to me of the Sin Squad with Orwin and Vicious right behind him. So even though he doesn't get a ton of interaction on this blog, I still love him.

And Rinwell and Kisara not only are both from the newest mainline game, but you know. Both favorites of mine from their respective game. Rinwell is my main, and I basically knew from the word go in the demo that she'd be my favorite of the playable cast. Kisara I honestly grew to love more as I wrote some Arise fanfics, and so it just felt natural to eventually add her too.

Then there's the oddballs in Walter and Ivar. NPCs who both deserve the world. I know a lot of people don't like Ivar, but I think he's really interesting and he does go through a bit of growth between Xillia and Xillia 2. And Walter is just fascinating to me. I wish there was more of him in Legendia than what we get, and it crushes my soul to know that he could have been playable but then just... wasn't due to 'complications in implementing it.' So I just give him and Ivar all the love here on this blog that I can.)

26. Another active muse

(ooc: Okay, so I wouldn't say he's active since he's on my lowest priority blog, but I do write Shadow from the Sonic series. And I love him to death. Maybe not the character he's turned into due to the way the games have been writing him in recent years, but early 2000s Shadow is fantastic as a character. I'll spare the long ramble I could go on here but I especially love how he is in SA2. He's best boy.)

Eren Jeager Boyfriend Headcanons

Warning: 18+ Under Cut 

SFW 

Eren Jeager, the man who would give you the world.

He’s the sweetest boyfriend, but he has a terrible attitude towards other people (because he’s a Aries.)

You’ll constantly remind him to “be nice” or “apologize.” He responds, “Baby, I’m only nice to you.” 

VERY OUTGOING. Eren is considered the “life of the party.” He is invited to everything! However, he consistently arrives late and steals the aux cord to play 2000s hits like Mr. Brightside. When he arrives, he’s the man everyone wants to meet. However, if people want to talk to him; they have to talk to you. You’re a package deal. 

Never loses a game of Beer Pong. Though the two despise each other, Eren and Jean are partners. After they play (and consecutively win), they part ways and don’t speak to each other. It’s a mutual agreement. 

Social stoner. He will offer to share his blunt with you by placing it between your lips. 

Owns a ton of grey sweatpants. Typically matches them with Nike socks and high tops. At home, he chooses not to wear shirts. However, if you go anywhere, he puts on a black t-shirt and a flannel. 

Also has a chain...

Once you get dressed, Eren will intentionally match you. He won’t purchase any corny t-shirts, but he will correlate the color of your outfits. 

RINGS GALORE. Wears a different ring on every finger; excluding his pinky. Each year for Valentine's Day, you’ll purchase him a new one. 

Purchased you an “E” necklace to wear. 

When you aren’t wearing it, he asks, “Babe, where is your necklace?” 

Eren’s attention is always on you. He immediately stops everything he is doing once you enter the room. One night you two were at Jean’s party; you left with Annie, Mikasa, Sasha, and Hangee to get pizza. Once you returned, the girls went to the kitchen, but you went to the balcony where the boys were smoking. As soon as Eren saw you, he shut down. 

“Hold up, Reiner - Hey, baby? Did you have a good time?” 

Uses all the pick-up lines he learns on you. 

“I’m not a photographer, but I can picture us together, forever.” 

He’s always snacking; he hates meals. He indulges in Cool Ranch Dorito’s. 

Obsessed with reality television; especially 90 Day Fiancé. 

“....Baby Girl Lisa? This woman is 60 years old.” 

Enjoys watching the anime’s you love. However, he constantly talks during the episodes. 

While watching My Hero Academia, Eren said, “So this is basically the anime version of Sky High?” 

Asks you to do your skin care routine on his face. 

You never would have guessed, but Eren enjoys reading. His favorite books include Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, Slaughterhouse Five, and 1984. 

Expresses himself through art. Throughout his notebook, he draws small sketches of you doing things around the house. 

“I’m getting a tattoo of this one day.” 

Adores when you hug him and wrap your legs around his waist. He could hold you there forever. 

When Eren’s tired; he pulls you into his lap and buries his head in your neck. After you get comfortable; within minutes he’s asleep.  Since he’s sleeping too well, you don’t want to move. He looks so peaceful. 

If you’re sad, Eren will sit across from you, press your foreheads together, and stare into your eyes. You’ll proceed to tell him the situation as you lean on each other for support. This action assures you that he will always listen. 

“Please, tell me what’s wrong, baby. I won’t have all the answers, but I will listen.” 

Cuddling is Eren’s favorite! He will lay down; his hands supporting his head. You’ll lay beside him and place your head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. If his hands aren’t supporting his head, he traces patterns in your back or rubs your butt. 

Will stop the world just to see you smile. 

NSFW 

CONSTANTLY HORNY. 

Eren’s a dominant man who LOVES degrading you in the bedroom. 

Has incredible stamina. Eren goes (at least) five rounds before he’s finished. 

Remember how much Eren loves rings? Well, he doesn’t take them off.  He enjoys watching his rings drip in your spit and cum.

Strongly believes “No Nut November” shouldn’t be a thing. 

“That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard of.” 

Expect A LOT of hickeys! Eren always creates dark purple bruises on your neck, breasts, and thighs. 

He gets upset when you cover them in makeup.

He’s the opposite... If you give Eren hickeys, he refuses to cover them. In fact, he wants people to notice them. 

At a friendly get-together, Jean, Armin, Connie, Sasha, and Eren sat around playing Call of Duty. Since the thermostat was set at seventy-two, Eren took off his shirt. Noticing movement, Jean looked over. He’s never been so shocked at the display of hickeys and scratches that decorated Eren’s body. “Holy fuck Eren, what do you two do in bed? Abuse each other?” 

“I could go into detail, but you’d love that too much; huh, horseface?” 

He’s rough; be prepared for bondage, gagging, choaking, and slapping.

Eren’s home screen is a black and white photograph of his hand choaking your neck. 

Along with his hickeys, he will proudly show it off to other people. 

GOD COMPLEX. He loves nothing more than you sinking to your knees to “worship” him. 

Pushes you to the headboard and buries his head between your thighs. 

Again, ALWAYS HORNY.

If you’re doing the dishes, Eren will slip his hand into your underwear to pleasure you. 

He reminds you, “Don’t miss a spot.” 

Once you finish; he shoves his fingers into your mouth ordering, “Taste yourself, slut.” 

A HUGE TEASE. If you’re working, Eren will kiss your neck or rub your thighs until you have to pay attention to him. 

It’s not your pussy; it’s HIS pussy. 

Loves fucking you while you’re wearing his flannels and hoodies. 

One of Eren’s biggest desires is to have a threesome with you and Levi. 

He keeps this a secret because he doesn’t want Levi to kick his ass again. 

Public sex... 

At one of Jean’s parties, it appeared as if everyone fell asleep in the living room. This left you and Eren awake... Being highly intoxicated and horny, you didn’t hesitate to sit on Eren’s lap and use his fingers to gain your release. You tried to keep quiet, but your airy moans captured the attention of Jean and Reiner. The two pretended to be asleep, but they couldn’t take their eyes away from your figure. 

However, Eren knew they were awake. 

Discovers himself randomly holding your breast. He claims, “It calms me down.” 

Forces EYE CONTACT. He loves watching your facial expressions twist as you’re being pleasured.

“If you don’t look at me, I’ll leave you to fuck yourself.” 

Sure, Eren’s not “soft” during sex, but he’s a big teddy bear after you both have finished. 

Will lay beside you, pull you onto him, and play with your hair until you fall asleep. 

“Sleep good, baby.” 

Once you wake up, Eren will make sure your bruises are okay, and your body is cleaned up. 

Yes, this can lead to shower sex... 

[kuroosweakness]

domestic things the haikyuu boys do to show that they care

 ↳ it all seems too good to be true. that’s because they’re not real :’ 

━ sakusa kiyoomi 

- always let you shower first so you can get all the warm water. (but don’t too long, don’t leave him without any hot water at all :’) (or i guess u guys can shower together ... ) 

- puts your towel in the dryer before your shower. he has many, many reasons for this: 

your towel will be nice and cozy when you walk out the shower 🥺 

he’ll have to hand the towel to you, meaning he’ll have a reason to go inside the warm, steamy bathroom 

he’ll be able to wrap you tightly with the towel the moment you step out. sakusa can’t leave you abandoned with just a towel, so naturally, he’ll sit you on the bathroom counter (even with you sitting on the counter, he’s still taller <3) and dry your hair, comb your hair, pat your body dry, lotion your body, blow-dry your hair, and all the other steps of your skin-care routine 

imagine standing next to each other, staring into the mirror as you both brush your teeth, him softly side-butting you, you side-butting him back (except he moved to the side and now you just awkwardly side-butted the air ... there goes his satisfactory smirk 🙄<3) 

(just before drying your hair, he’ll rub strands of your hair between his palms to make it stick up, and stand back to admire the view. you’re adorable) 

(oh to be pampered by sakusa :’)) how does it feel to have won life?) 

(it hurts knowing we’ve never seen animated sakusa smile) 

━ kita shinsuke 

- he always walks on the outer side of the sidewalk when the two of you are walking side by side to keep you safe from the road. it’s a small, subtle gesture, but a gesture that doesn’t go overseen. this also means his left hand will always be holding your right hand 

- picks things up for you. on his way home, he’ll always call and ask if you want anything. if you have a delivery package you need to pick up, he’ll do it for you. if you want a cup of coffee from your favorite cafe, he’ll buy one for you :)

- he loves and cares for your family like his own. this goes a long way. it truly shows how important you are to him

(to those who doesn’t have a very ... good family or a family that wouldn’t be interested in caring for your partner, i’m sorry to hear about that babes :’( i can relate, we’re in this together!)

━ oikawa tōru 

- always talks in terms of “we” instead of “i”, “me”, and “you”. he always includes you in conversations so you never feel left out! whenever you are, he wants you to feel acknowledged and included. 

- defends you in every conversation. if someone were to talk badly or make unwanted remarks about you, oikawa will be right there to drag them down.  oikawa may talk a lot but it’s gotten him the advantage to be really good with his words. try winning an argument with him, you can’t (unless ur iwaizumi lol)   

- anyone that stares at you for too long, he’ll give his harshest glare. oikawa’s one of those people who can just sense bad vibes from people. he tells you all about his instincts so no “bad guys” can get to you

- relationship with oikawa = lots of pillowtalk 

━ miya atsumu 

- if you carry purses/bags around, he always offers to hold onto your purse/bag when you go to the bathroom. he’ll casually sling it over his shoulder like it’s his own, no awkwardness here! he’s proud to be your boyfriend and it shows. 

(guys who carries purses for their partners with confidence > other guys)

- if the two of you walk out of a store into pouring rain without an umbrella, atsumu will tell you to wait inside the store while he goes to start the car. he’ll drive to the front of the store so you won’t have to get wet from the rain 

(i just know atsumu’s one of those guys who looks so hot while driving without even trying- darn him <3) 

━ akaashi keiji 

- beings extra everything around for you. band-aids, hair-ties, gum, cash, an extra jacket in his trunk, a cup in case of stomach-emergencies, and even a pair of socks in case the rain seeps through your shoes. he has it all. feeling safe is one of the many good feelings you feel around akaashi 

- when you share a small umbrella, akaashi always makes sure it completely covers you, even if it means water is dripping down his shoulder. 

- when he comes across a good book, a good movie, good song, he’ll have that spark in his beautiful eyes when he tells you all about them. he wants you to also enjoy the good in his life :) (he also tells you about his past mistakes/incidents to warn you about the bad) 

━ bokuto kōtarō

- goes to bed before you, lying on your spot of the bed to warm it up. when you walk into the bedroom, you’ll see bo’s head sticking out of the covers with a huge grin. he’s so cute without even trying djkfldj 

- adores massaging you. he’ll regularly massage you, run his hand across your tummy, sit you in his lap, squeeze you with his biceps, play with your thighs, yeah it’s quite obvious how much he loves you. 

rough day? regular day? be prepared to lay on your tummy so bokuto can give you a massage :) don’t be too surprised when he attempts new massage moves that “our professional massager did on us! (msby)” 

you know what else he loves? when you massage him! he loves coming home with sore muscles to a home-made massage by the person who never fails to make him smile. not the best massage in the world, but you’re trying and he loves it more than explainable. 

- brings you the remote without complaint. puts your plate back to the kitchen without complaint. puts your clothes in the laundry basket without complaint. 

━ miya osamu 

- always offers to carry the grocery bags. even if he can barely see past the pile of bags in his arms, he’ll insist on carrying them. his competitive side comes out during times like these; he’ll try to impress you by carrying more and more each time. even with how heavy the groceries may be, he hasn’t dropped/broken anything ...yet! 

- leaves the last bit of food for you. last slice of pizza? yours. last bit of milk left? for your cereal. last piece of cake? yours. he never eats the last piece without checking with you first, no matter how hungry he is. eating food without leaving you any is like betrayal. 

- blocks the sunlight out of your eyes with his arm/hand. especially in the morning when the sunlight glares through the window. 

━ suna rintarō 

- charges your phone for you. sometimes, he’ll tap on your lockscreen to check your battery percentage when you go to sleep and charge it when the battery bar is low. you don’t have to worry about forgetting to charge your phone with suna around. 

- turns off his phone when you talk to him so you can have his full attention

- untangles your mess of cords. he always glares and heavily sighs whenever he sees tangled cords. no one knows how, but suna’s exceptionally good with untangling stuff 

━ kuroo tetsurō

- cleans the hair from your shower for you. he really doesn’t like it, but he knows you hate it more, which is why he does it for you. even though it’s not a favorite activity of his, he doesn’t really mind, it’s natural. 

- he’ll talk to the people/call the people you don’t want to. if you don’t want to say your drive-thru order, he’ll do it for you. if you want to know the price of a shirt but there isn’t a tag, he’ll talk to a store-worker for you. instead of being annoyed at you for “not being to do simple things”, he’ll help you out without a single word of complaint. there’ll be some teasing, but no harm done. he’s very understanding and patient

(my bias is showing. he’s my comfort person, what can i do :’) 

- he made up a code with you. four tugs on the hem of his shirt means you’re not feeling well/uncomfortable. (there are also many other signals and code words)

this is especially helpful when you’re out at parties, big events, malls, etc etc. as soon as he feels your tugs, he’ll whip around and study your face, leading you to a quieter place to ask how you’re feeling. if you want to go home, then home it is. 

[otakusheep15]

(h/c anon again!) I adore your writing so much! That fill was perfect, and amazing, all rolled into one. Your characterization is just fantastic. If you need another idea (and because I lovelovelove hurt/comfort), perhaps a scenario where the demons/angels accidently hurt mc? Like, maybe mc walks too close and takes a gesturing hand to the face, or walks into someone going around the corner and gets hot coffee/tea spilled on them? It doesn't have to be serious injuries (or it can be! whatever inspires you) and it can be characters of your choice! I only ask you include beel/lucifer/barbs, 'cause they're my favorites. Thank you again for even reading my prompt suggestions! I look forward to reading more, even if this particular one doesn't inspire you!

Anon, you better stop being so nice or I will fall in love with you /j

Also, hurt/comfort! Yes! I love it! And I am gonna do this in two parts so I can get the out faster, so this one’s gonna have just the brothers. 

The Brothers Accidentally Hurting MC

Lucifer

Probably giving a lecture, let’s be honest

Has a habit of talking with his hands, but only when he gets really upset

Like, he tries to control it cause he thinks it makes him look stupid, so he only does it when he’s too mad to care

One day, he’s super pissed off at the brothers, so he’s yelling at them and threatening them with getting strung to the chandelier 

Then you come walking in, and you end up right behind him 

A particularly well-timed swing of his hand leaves you with no time to move as it comes into contact with your face

You groan in pain as he turns around, annoyance turning into concern at the sight of your now red nose

Ignores his brothers’ laughter as he dotes over you, making sure your injury isn’t too bad

Mammon

Running away from Lucifer cause he stole something again

You both turn the corner at the exact same time

He’s fine cause demon strength, but you’re pushed to the ground

Doesn’t even think, just hauls you up and runs with you

Once he makes it to his room, realization of what he did finally sets in 

Immediately apologizes and offers medical assistance 

It’s really not that bad of an injury, but he still feels bad regardless 

You might need to calm him down before Lucifer catches y’all 

Leviathan

Classic anime moment tbh only the best for my beloved

He was so excited cause a new figure he purchased was being delivered today

Ran down the hall and didn’t notice you walking the opposite way 

Crashed right into you, sending you both falling

And he just so happens to fall with his face right in your chest 

It does not matter what gender you are or how big your chest is, he will get so flustered

Too flustered to actually get up apparently 

So the two of you sit like that for a solid five minutes before one of his brothers comes passing through and questions the scene

With that, he’ll bolt up and run straight back to his room, package long forgotten 

If you bring him his package later, he might actually have a heart attack 

Satan 

Was carrying some tea while also looking at cat pictures on his phone

Never a good combination

Doesn’t actually run into you, surprisingly 

Instead, he trips on one of the side tables in the halls, spilling his tea all over you 

It was freshly made, so it was hot 

Drags you to the bathroom as soon as the tea hits your body, and he is checking for any burn wounds

Cares for any possible injuries you may have received and apologizes more than he probably needs to 

Asmodeus

Bold of you to assume that he wouldn’t do something like this on purpose 

Pretends to run into you, only to swoop in and catch you at the last minute and tend to you and your “injuries” 

But, let’s assume he’s not a dramatic bitch (affectionate) for the sake of this scenario 

He’s holding a bunch of bags cause he just went shopping earlier that day 

Couldn’t see you and runs directly into you, making you fall and making him drop his bags

Ngl, his first concern is his his bags 

Probably doesn’t even notice you until he’s picked them all up

Goes to put his bags down since his hands are full, then comes back to you to make sure you’re okay 

Doesn’t know what to do and takes you to Satan if you’re hurt 

Beelzebub

Surprisingly, he isn’t eating when this happens 

Instead, he’s watching plays that were recorded from his pervious Fangol game

His coach told him to watch the playbacks to prepare for the next game

Going to grab some food so he can go work out, and runs right into you

He feels practically nothing, but you end up getting practically blown backwards

Feels really bad, and takes you down to the kitchen to grab an ice pack and some snacks for you 

Offers to bring you to training with him so he can watch over you and your injury 

Belphegor

His tail is freaking wild 

It’s easy to control most of the time, but not when he’s feeling really emotional 

Like now, for example

Satan just got him a new astrology book and he’s very excited 

So excited, in fact, that he barely notices when you walk by 

His tail connects with your face before either of you can react, and he’s laughing his ass off when he does realize

Feels bad deep down, but can’t help but make fun of you as well 

Still tells you sorry and takes you to the planetarium to make up for it 

Notice how Levi’s is longer than everyone else's. I’m not saying I’m biased, but yes I am. Part 2 with the side characters should be out sometime next week if I’m able to get some writing in.  

[xnchxntmxnt]

let me know what other characters you want to see with this

dancer

not any formal dance training, but he taught himself a lot 

has to lead he doesn’t know how to follow

but dancing with him is always SO fun

and by dancing i mean fun jazzy stuff THATS his favorite thing to dance to

picture this: mattsun at a party in a suit (undone bow tie because why tie it when he looks so much better w two buttons of his shirt undone & the tie hanging around his neck)

he drags you out on the dance floor

he’s got you pulled in close and it doesn't matter if you know how to dance or not he just. right next to your ear “follow my lead”

and from then on you’re moving dude knows how to have fun on a dance floor

all the while hes muttering little directions to you

at the end of the song he just goes “dip for me” and all of a sudden you’re spinning away from him, then back, and you lean back like he guides you to

and he’s leaning over you with this cocky smile & he’s definitely enjoying the view 

⭒

guys he’s SO clingy

he doesn’t really seem like the touchy-feely type, but once he’s comfortable with you, he’s hanging off of you all the time

if you’re short enough for him to put his head over, he does (i do this to my friends)

if youre not, he finds a way to get his chin over your shoulder (even if ur taller than him, he gets creative)

arms around your waist at ALL times

hugs from behind are constant w him

he’s v respectful abt it if you dont like the surprise of the hug he’ll tap ur shoulder and say ‘hug time’ first its adorable

⭒

he’s clingy as all hell right

do not deny this man cuddles

like if you actually don’t want to cuddle he gets it but if ur just screwing around w him good luck 

hes a little shit when he doesnt get his way and by that i mean he will straight up remove whatever it is that youre doing that distracts you from him & climb into your lap

hes adorable though

this is even more insistent when he’s sleepy

sleepy mattsun >>>

⭒

he & makki are kinda a package deal. we know this

it’s impossible date one and not befriend the other because they tend to have an issue if their s/o doesn’t like their best friend for some reason 

so lets hope you make friends w makki pretty fast

he’s an agreeable guy tho and pretty easy to get along with i have no doubt you could befriend him. he’s the ultimate “you should/shouldn’t date this person” test, though. impress him you’re got mattsun

⭒ 

issei loves it when you come to his games

he acts super chill & suave about it but really he loves it

god forbid you wear his jersey or something. like if you see him before the game he’ll give you his alternate jersey and smiles if you wear it. that or his warmup jacket he’ll do the same thing

⭒

QUICKFIRE HEADCANONS

he likes to pick flowers off trees & give them to you on his way to see you

pulls you into a kiss with a little spin

loves it when you scratch his head

big spoon

his favorite song is teenage dirtbag by wheatus (because he is) and you WILL listen to him sing it every day

[three--rings]

Hey, so many of my very favorite video games are super on sale right now on Steam, so please allow me to speak at you for a moment.

The sale is a Spike Chunsoft sale, so it includes series like Danganronpa and Stein’s Gate and others. 

But SPECIFICALLY I adore the games of Kotaro Uchikoshi, the Zero Escape series and the AI:The Somnian Files series. 

The Zero Escape games are some of my ALL TIME very favorite video games.  You can get all the games in the series for $25 right now, 75% off. 

Uchikoshi’s games are typically part visual novel, part puzzles, though later games are fully voiced visual novels.  (Actually I 100% forget the steam version of 999 is highly voiced now too...because it wasn’t voiced AT ALL when I played it the first...IDK 4 times.)

Uchikoshi does amazing things with narrative and tells stories that only work in the video game format.  The stories are entirely WILD and often veer from ridiculous to character moments that make you sob. 

The games definitely have horror/violent elements, so some content warning apply.  Like they are NOT playing around and WILL hurt you, but god is it worth it.  The games take a LOT of time to play, and they all have multiple endings/routes with one of them being the “real” or “goal” ending.  But again, WORTH it. 

I have bought MULTIPLE entire game systems to play these games, and the fact you can just BUY them so cheap now is kinda wild to me.  (Also hey, you aren’t going to deal with the game-breaking bug on the 2nd Zero Escape game on the 3DS where I lost 60 hours of progress.)

So yeah, take this as a kick in the butt, if this is at all your kind of thing.

I just finished the first AI game and am buying the second in this game, but I really enjoyed the first. 

(I also love Danganronpa and if you like one series you WILL enjoy the other.  It’s a similar level of Messed Up and Also Deep.)

The sale is going on through the 19th. 

ETA: I wrote this at 6AM so pardon me, but I forgot the series were labeled weird on Steam.  The Nonary Games is a collection of the first two Zero Escape Games.  So one purchase ($12 right now????!!!!!) and you get two full games with each something like 100 hours in it.  (999 depends a lot on decisions how long it takes.  ZE2 is super long to complete.)

The first Zero Escape game, 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors is a mystery set on a sinking replica (?) of the Titanic, in which a cast of 9 people have to find their way through the ship to the last door to escape before it sinks.  But that’s only the surface level of what’s actually going on...

The second ZE game is Virtue’s Last Reward, a direct sequel to the first, but that’s not immediately obvious.  It’s a little more sci-fi, a little more out there, with more twisty paths and wild surprises.  But in some ways the quintessential Zero Escape (though NOTHING will beat 999 in my mind).  These two are included in the one Nonary Games package.

Zero Time Dilemma is the completion(?) of the trilogy which we thought for years we wouldn’t get and then we did.  Opinions are mixed on this one, and it dials up the horror and violence and Saw-esque aspects a lot, but it’s extremely memorable and unique.  Utterly terrified me the first time I played it BTW (but like I have anxiety and don’t do horror games.)

AI: The Somnian Files is an unrelated series from the same writer/director.  A sci-fi police detective mystery, in which a police detective who can use secret tech to experience people’s dreams tries to solve a serial killer case.   Very weird, very wild, but honestly even more impressive on a second play/watch because the writing is super clever.  Great voice acting and character work.  Very silly (easy) action sequences.  There’s also a direct sequel that just released in June.

Pretty much all of them have trigger warnings for dark content, death, suicide, sexism, child abuse...but USUALLY stuff is handled well for anime-genre media, with the exception of some anime-typical sexism.

꒰ you would send eachother cute packages for birthdays and other extra occasions

꒰ they would include lots of snacks and plushies

꒰ so you have something to hug! even tho he wishes that you could hug each other... plushies need to be enough for now!

꒰ sending cooking recipes and then cooking the meals on FaceTime (or something else if you, like me, don't have iPhone lol)

꒰ and then eating it together

꒰ even if it didn't end up being that well

꒰ y'all are basically married haha

꒰ making bets about what'll happen next in the movie/series

- - - - ——— jeno

꒰ going back and forth on twitter

꒰ making lots and lots of plans for the future

꒰ finding a niche game and trying best to beat eachother at speed running it

꒰ 'I love you but I'm beating your record today'

'Aww... you wish'

꒰ playing made up bingo while watching silly and 'cheap' movies

꒰ 'yes! I got bad green screen clipping!'

꒰ I feel like he would send you his hoodie one day and you would do the same

꒰ so you could feel each others presence at least in a small way like this

꒰ DEFINITION OF ADORABLE COUPLE

꒰ 'I miss you' messages even if you guys talked like half an hour ago

꒰ sending selfies with 'xyz check!' ('lunch check!', 'school check!', 'dance training check!')

꒰ sometimes just sitting on FaceTime (or something else) and not even talking

꒰ despite the long distance, you guys like to 'feel' each others presence in this way

꒰ he has you on his wallpaper and you have him too

꒰ or the eye color lockscreen from TikTok (if you don't know - there was a trend to make wallpapers where would be hearts in the color of your so's eyes)

꒰ proud boyfriend, always says great things about you when someone asks about it
