A is prepared to be sacrificed to a beast. As they thrash in their restraints, they see it being led out of the darkness, heavy chains rattling as A's executors drag the creature by the rusty collar around its neck. there's a second when the beast lifts its gaze, meeting A's eyes â and A understands it has no choice, and is as afraid as they are.

ok thinking abt this again, a lot of the popular and more experienced blogs on here are really fond of vague posting and bullying smaller blogs "subtly" so thats probably a big part of where it comes from, its mainly what made ME think it was okay to vague post about people on here which is so embarrassing to look back on â ïžâ ïžâ ïž
i used to try really hard to like rationalize things online and figure out exactly what people meant and who anons were, but the amount of times people have tried to do that and made up a really elaborate literally evil plot about ME that didnt happen made me be like... yeah im not doing that anymore
#especially because they would do it to me even when i first got here (like i would post something and then they would immediately post-#-'i hate this thing and everyone who thinks this is dumb')#so i was doing sort of that on a less extreme level because i thought it was normal here#but those people are actually just fucking mean LMAO#its hard to explain my logic here but i think its obvious like people really are weird and devious on here so not only does it attract-#-similar people but it also just makes everyone think its normal and then everyone gets paranoid and weird#popular blogs having beef with smaller blogs is just actually crazu#i remember people trying to debate me but then would like ignore all my points and isolate singular sentences out of context#to make me look bad and i would obviously get defensive so then my argument would fall apart cuz of that#but they were just being mean#have since blocked all of those people obviously but it just sucks cuz ive never really been a part of a fandom before#and the first time i do it just like.... sucks LMAO#ok not really like i love those of u that r here#but my overall experience has not been great#i think i got here at a really bad time though tbh like i came at the same time as a lot of new people and it was odd idk idk whatever#everything is better now that i use the block button very easily but i still feel awkward here ngl

i beg of you to write more mean abby.. i reread all of ur mean abby works religiously i swear i just love her too much à«ź ˶ᔠᔠá”˶ á
Êâ§áŽ„âŠÊ NONNIEEEEE STOP THIS JS TOO SWEET!!!! IM BLUSHING IM BLUSHING I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! sorry this is a lil bit messy, i havenât really had time to lock in on anything official I HOPE THATS OKAY!!!! here are some thoughts⊠18+
i think mean!abby is one of those people who are discreetly rich. sheâs not the type of person to go on big fancy vacations, or buy expensive sports cars, or to always have the newest technology. before she met you, she probably spent most of her money on books or expensive brands of tea imported from countries sheâs never even heard of. after she met you, though? sheâd swipe her card a million times a day to see you smile.
the best way i can describe her personality is like some old cranky grandpa, the scary guy on the block who never smiles but is very confrontational. if youâve seen her around, youâd know that sheâs always wearing a scowl, only leaves her penthouse apartment early to go to the gym, and has beef with most of her neighbors. but if you know know her? sheâs a sweetie pie. she loves spontaneous sweet treats, slow dancing to 70âs music, old horror films (mean!abby letterboxd goes CRAZY i just know), and most shockingly, her cats.
and she LOVES those fuckers. itâs so perfect how she can have a companion whoâs quiet and small and independent, and two of them? barely any responsibility. they have an automatic feeder, entertain each other, and only bug her about once a day for attention.
as for her job, i could see her having two possibilities. one being an extreme workaholic. maybe an office job or a surgeon or something?? (NOT a nurse because theyïżœïżœre supposed to be good at talking to peopleâŠ) OR she only really works part time, some freelance job that doesnât really have any rules. a photographer or a tattoo artist or some sort of small business that she can mostly manage on her own. money has never been an issue for her, coming from a family of doctors. her ass was spoiled rotten as a kid, and after her dad died she inherited all of that money.
sheâs the biggest protector in the world. someone was talking shit about you? sheâs breaking their nose right now actually. i think the biggest reason sheâs âmeanâ is because she actually just has anxiety. the last time she felt a love this strong, it was for her dad. she canât afford to lose you like she lost him, so she always has to make sure youâre safe and sound. itâs not like sheâs trying to be controlling by texting you every half hour, she just worries that maybe she wonât be able to protect you for once, and itâll be at the worst possible time.
ok lock in here are some nsfw thoughts :3
you know that trope thatâs like âbig mean stoic character is actually the subbiest bottomest little puppy in the whole world.â yeahâŠ. if you donât agree what are you still doing here.
it definitely took her a while to be this vulnerable, but jesus christ is it worth it!!! the way you get to watch her squirm and whimper underneath you, knowing that youâre the only one who can make her feel this way. to give your big protective guard dog girlfriend a night off, to take care of her in return for all that she does for you.
and she lovessss being tied up!!!! something about the intimacy of knowing youâre gonna give her a good time makes her submit to you almost instantly. she has to trust you on this, has sit back and relax and let her brain melt because she physically canât do anything about it.
when she does dom i imagine sheâs a pretty big brat tamer. câmon, not everyone has the luxury of having a girlfriend like her. if you donât act grateful sheâll whip you in to shape. literally. sheâs not afraid of a good spanking.
also sheâs strapped up 24/7 but this is canon in every universe⊠no matter what sheâs doing or where sheâs going or who sheâs gonna meet, the strap stays ON!!! just in case she may need itâŠ.
but sheâs the aftercare QUEEN. of course. apart from the basics like food, water, cuddles, etc. she has tonssss of knowledge on proper aftercare. youâd never have to worry about being hurt or getting a uti or feeling unloved because sheâs read every forum to exist about aftercare!!! i just know this bitch runs a tumblr kink blog like itâs the military⊠đ€Š
thatâs allâŠ. going to eep nowâŠâŠ
#sorry for neglecting yâall⊠iâve been busy please forgive me#abby anderson#abby anderson tlou2#abby anderson headcanons#abby anderson fluff#abby anderson x reader#abby the last of us#abby anderson x female reader#the last of us

The way I am obssesed with Angel's relationship with the girls- and no, I don't mean it on a token gay guy on the gals groupâą but rather how he seems to have this- older brother ish sense to him when he is with them.
He is the one that mocks Vaggie even on her lowest point but he was also the one to rush to her side when Charlie and Alastor left- no to mention he was the one leading the other guys to prepare the hotel later on.
He is the one the keep Nifty safe- even though he is extremely weirded out by her antics, and even didn't react with aggression when she was a bout to stab him (that shit wouldn't had flied with any character I tell you lmao) also LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE-
He is the one that protected Charlie from HIS abuser, shielding him from his world from day one- and overall just making sure she stayed safe, and away from Val.
And then there is Cherrie- his ride or die he trusts above anyone else. She is the one he rants to about his horrible day at the studio (which is bad enough to make her RUN to the Hotel after 5 months btw, so who knows what the hell was on those textes) tho I am inclined she is the older sibling at the relationship. I dunno she just has that vibe. She protects him alot more than he does her (that is not to say he doesn't protect her- he literally pushed her away from Pen's invention at the Pilot) and I like that, is a little change or dynamic with his other relationships.
I normally don't like to call a platonic relationship "sibling coded" unless is VERY explicitly implied that is the case, but honestly- with Angel I am willing to do an exception, because of this:
Is not far fetched to think Angel might had projected Molly onto his female friends- SPECIALLY Charlie, who was often draw with her on older sketches. Their dad was abusive, their relationship with their brother non-existent (this actually intrigues me alot because I can see Niss having beef with Angel but the fuck did Molly do?) and the mom isn't mentioned yet, so I am willing to think all they had was each other- flash forward to now, with Angel separated from his beloved sister, trapped onto an soul contract with his abusive ex, and meeting a bunch of girls that had reediming qualities- my guy had issues ok let him be.

im bored so yâall are getting some hazbin hcs
Alastor is aroace and agender but he does not know it he has no clue what ANY of those words mean
Rosie actually knows that Alastor is all of those but to fuck with him she doesnât tell him however she will from time to time call him one of those (for example when she says she knows Alastor is an ace in the hole)
Alastor and Rosie are in a qpr!
Velvette and Vox are besties they will gossip about everyone and everything
Velvette is a non-binary lesbian who uses she/her
EVERYONE in hell assume that the vees are a polycule and for the chaos they never correct anyone
Velvette barely tolerates Valentino and would like to beat the shit out of him at any given time
Ok I have to restrain myself with Velvette so last one even though Vox has beef with Alastor to everyoneâs shock she hangs out with him every once and a while over some tea
Lute is aroace but she and Adam are « dating » bc people kept asking Lute out would never take no for an answer and it was making her uncomfortable
Despite everything Adam does care for Lute and is a good friend towards her hence why he agreed to the fake dating plan
Vaggie before getting her wings back would get HORRIBLE phantom pain from them and whenever Charlie would ask what was up she would always dodge the questions and Charlie wanting to respect her gfs boundaries wouldnât push to much
Vaggies love language is acts of service and Charlieâs is physical touch
Charlie ADORES Vaggies wings she thinks they make her gf even more gorgeous then she already is
Vaggie is actually insecure of her wings as they remind her of a past sheâs rather forget but Charlie fawning over them does make her like her wings a bit more
If Charlie is cold Vaggie will use her wings to make her warmer
After the battle against the exorcist Vaggie went back to thank Carmilla for her help and the two got to talking and ended bonding now they meet weekly at Carmillas to practice battle together (the both enjoy it greatly) and sometimes it leads to Vaggie staying for dinner
Carmilla Carmine is essentially Vaggies mom/mentor
Vaggie bonded with Carmillas daughters and they see eachother as sisters
Charlie will sometimes head over to cannibal town to give Rosie a visit and she now calls Rosie Auntie all the time
Vaggie brought Charlie to meet Carmilla and Charlie brought Vaggie to meet Rosie (both were super nervous to meet each others respective mom/aunt figure worried they wouldnât approve)
Husk and Cherri used to hate eachother but after Angel forced them to hang out they grew to like eachother in a I hate u and hope u die/affectionate type of way
Angel does Cherris hair and I will not elaborate
Angel canât cook for shit and almost set the hotel on fire many times (heâs now banned from the kitchen)
Vaggie however is a great chef!
Husk taught all the members of the hotel who didnât already know how to play poker, poker
The hotel guests now have game night which is usually the entire cast struggling while Alastor, Husk and Vaggie sweep and have a rivalry between themselves the others are trying tho!
Alastor also taught the residents chess
Nifty eats the pieces
Im not elaborating on that last one
Vaggie and Angel actually like one another (PLATONICALLY) even considering one another one of their closest friends but neither would ever admit it out loud
Alright now that that's said Angel and Vaggie have mini cooking lessons in secret (WITHOUT ANY FIRE for safety reasons ofc) so Angel can make food for his friends
Lucifer and Vaggie actually bonded a lot especially given both are fallen angels
When Lucifer found out why Vaggie was cast out and how Vaggie had to physically restrain him from (somehow donât question how he'd even be able to get to heaven to do it) beating the shit out of Lute
Shickingly Lucifer, nifty and Husk are friends and hang out
in fact Lucifer knew Husk before the hotel and had already grown fond of him
Sir Pentious and Charlie are besties
Charlie was the first person who Sir Pentious actually told he liked Cherri (the others still knew but like he actually told Charlie)
Sir Pentious makes Alastor babysit the egg bois after the outing he had with them a while back
Sir Pentious does like Emily but she kinda makes him sad as she reminds him so much of Charlie and he cant see her anymore given she's currently in hell
Razzle was always super attached to Charlie but Dazzle wierdly enough got super attached to Vaggie making her even angrier with Lute when she killed him
Imma end the hcs here cause this is already a shit tone lol
#hazbin hotel#chaggie#rosie hazbin hotel#alastor hazbin hotel#hazbin charlie#lucifer hazbin hotel#carmilla hazbin hotel#carmilla carmine#hazbin vaggie#angel dust#cherri bomb#hazbin hotel lute#for the record i have more hcs but i stopped here just for everyones sanity#lemme know if y'all want more#hazbin hotel velvette#vox hazbin hotel#appleye

I'M ON MY HANDS AND KNEES PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH KAJI AND BITING
Content Warning: Mind the tags! MeanGirlReader x TiredOfYourShitRenKaji. Hate-fucking, toxic behavior, degradation, sex in a public place, but plot armor makes it ok, spitting and consumption of said spit, biting, cumming inside without consent. Minors Do Not Interact.
Word Count: 1.3K
Banner by me.
Fun Facts:
If youâre sexually aroused by biting, you have a fetish called Odaxelagnia.
You probably like being bitten because youâre into pain, you sadomasochist.
It has been reported that half of all people are aroused from biting, so congrats, youâre not alone!
Kaji finds you so obnoxiously annoying that his lips curl upward into a scowl. He hates the way your eyes sparkle when you look at himâthat irritating, mischievous glint shining brightly in your eyes right as he passes into your field of vision. He hates how you push his buttons with smart-mouthed remarksâevery word passing through your lips laced with venom. And he especially hates how you canât tell that heâs so in love with you that if you decided never to speak to him again, heâd choose to drop off the face of the planet.
But you were so goddamn rude, so fuck ever telling you that.
âI dunno, man. Maybe sheâs one of those girls who likes their men a lil mean. It honestly sounds like you two need to bang it out.âÂ
Kaji gave Hiragi a deadpan stare after approaching his mentor for much-needed sage advice. Hearing him suggest that you wanted to be dicked down felt so off-base to Kaji, which was disappointing since Hiragi was usually right about everything.
But there must be an exception to that rule because the thought of you wanting to fuck him was simply:
Ridiculous.
Absurd.Â
Unless?Â
No!Â
Thereâs no way you were into him. No sane person would act like you do if they liked someone.
So when Kaji finds himself at a dive bar where an underground death metal band is playing their heaviest set, his stomach churns with annoyanceâand something else heâd rather not say aloudâas he sees you walk to the bathroom.
And maybe he was feeling a little braveâor stupidâthat night. Because he followed in hopes that you both could squash whatever beef you had concocted in your head, and maybe heâd consider asking your dumbass out.
But as you exited the bathroom and he saw that shit-eating grin on your pretty face as your eyes met, he became painfully aware that, no, he was the actual dumbass.
âKaji? You stalking me orâŠ? Oh, wait,â you look behind you at the door to the restroom. âI get it. You wanted to watch me pee. I heard you might be into something like that.â
In a matter of seconds, anger consumed him, coursing through his veins like wildfire; all the negative interactions you two had, the snide comments, the poking, prodding, culminating into a very volatile climax.
âWhatâs your problem with me?!â Kaji doesnât mean to grab your wrist so hard that you wince in painâbut he does. And he doesnât mean to practically growl at you, his prominent canines on display as his lips curl upwardâbut he does. And he doesnât mean to smash his lips against yours when he catches your eyes staring at his mouthâbut he does.Â
As the crowd in the next room thrash about in the mosh pit, Kaji is pulling your skirt up and spreading your legs by slotting his own between your thighs.
He tears his lips away from yours, chest heaving, and blue eyes blackened with rage. âThis what you wanted? To be fucked in some dive bar in some dirty ass hallway?â
If he didnât find you absolutely reprehensible, he wouldnât feel any shame in admitting how beautiful you look in the dimly lit hallway, lips swollen from his heated kiss, mouth slightly open, and dressed exactly like the type of girl who could run away with his heart.
You donât immediately answer him, but your body is shaking, and for a moment, he feels as though he might have made a mistake. Heâs about to withdraw and offer his apologies until he hears you cackling.
âKaji, you think Iâm scared of you? I eat little boys like you for breakfast.â Your tone is condescending, and any remorse Kaji feels for you dissolves along with his patience.
âWhat are ya gonna do, Kaji? Fuck the attitude out of me?â
Before he can talk himself out of it, heâs gripping your cheeks between his fingers. You try to gather enough strength to shake your head out of his grasp, but his fingers only dig in more, earning a hiss from you. And as you look at him, lips puckered in a delicious pout, Kaji accumulates as much saliva into his mouth as he can, and with two fingers prying your jaw open, he spits into your mouth. Globules of his spit land on your lips and tongue, sitting thickly and tasting like vodka.
And despite the hold he has on you, your eyes roll back as your clit seizes uncontrollably and your cunt drools.
He removes his hand from your face, repositioning it near your head against the wall so that heâs leaning into your orbit.Â
âSwallow it.â
And heâs not fucking asking.
You make a show of swallowing his spit, gulping loudly as it slides down your throat, and then showing him your tongue.
âYou want me to fuck you so bad, and you donât even know how to ask for it.â
âI know how to ask, Ren.â Your hand snakes down to the bulge in his pants, and to his absolute horror, a moan bubbles out of his throat at your touchâit feels hot with want, and his brain is telling him that danger is imminent, but he canât help but lean into the palm of your hand.
âSo then ask. Nicely.â
You lick your lips, eyes hungry, and cunt the wettest it's ever been.
âFuck me, Ren. Please, fuck me.â
âGood girl.â He unzips his pants, the sound making your heart palpitate wildly against your ribcage. As you reach down and pull your panties down your legs, you extend them to Kaji on the tip of your finger.
He sneers but takes the garment, placing it in his back pocket for future use.
You yelp as he picks you up, pushing your back against the wall as he lowers you on his cock. And thereâs nothing gentle with the way he treats you. Not allowing your pussy to even adjust to his girthy cock as it rams into your tight, weeping hole.
Heâs ramming into you, drumming thuds and sloppy, wet sounds echoing in the empty hallway, with only the sound of the concert drowning out the sounds of your grunts and whimpers.
You wrap your arms around his broad shoulders, closing your eyes and savoring the feeling of him beating up your cunt. âFuck, fuck, fuck!!â
âS-shut the fuck up and stop acting like you werenât begging for this.â
Your eyes blow out as he sinks his canines into your neck, and despite the searing pain, you clench around him, your cum already coating his dick.
Kaji laughs against your neck. "You wanted to be treated like a hole? All you had to do was ask.â
Heâs smashing his lips on yours again, but this time, you lead the kiss, gliding your tongue into his mouth. Your tongue dances over one of his canines, careful at first out of caution but then with reckless abandon as the sharp points of them embolden you, and Kaji groans at your forwardness.
Itâs not long before Kaji can feel his balls clenching, his cum loaded in the chamber and ready to fire into you. And if this were any other situation, heâd pull out, choosing to cum somewhere far more convenient, but the idea of filling you up after all the shit youâve given him and making you march back into the crowd without panties, and semen dripping down your leg makes him groan in your mouth and release hot, thick streams into your pussy.
Your body recoils at the feeling of his seed pouring into you, his cock throbbing as the ropes become smaller spurts until finally subsiding.
You slide down the wall as Kaji pulls away from you and pushes himself back into his jeans. Heâs still scowling down at you. âGot that out of your system?â
Youâre dazed, a little confused, and entirely giddy from the experience. âAnd if I say no?â
Kaji rolls his eyes, but he understands you nowâhe understands what you like and what you need, and heâs sure he can supply it to you moving forward.

Food on St Patrick's Day (in the USA)...
...is usually Corned Beef & Cabbage, which is the Irish-American version of the original Irish boiled bacon & cabbage, but while the celebratory Irishness is still going strong, try something a bit more authentic.
A nice warm coddle. Not cuddle, coddle, though just as comforting in its own way. (Some sources suggest it's a hangover cure, not that such a thing would ever be necessary at this time of year, oh dear me no.)
Coddle is a stew using potatoes, onions, bacon, sausages, stout-if-desired / stock-if-not, pepper, sage, thyme and Time.
You'll often see it called "Dublin Coddle", but my Mum made Lisburn Coddle lots of times, I've made West Wicklow Coddle more than once, and on one occasion in a Belgian holiday apartment I made Brugsekoddel, which is an OK spelling for something that doesn't exist in any cookbook.
*****
I do remember one amendment I made to Mum's recipe, which met with slight resistance at the time and great appreciation thereafter.
Her coddle was originally cooked on the stove-top, not in the oven, and nothing was pre-cooked. Potatoes were quartered, onions were sliced, bacon was cut into chunks and then everything went into the big iron casserole, then onto the slow back ring, and there it simmered Until Done.
However, the bacon was thick-cut back rashers, and the sausages were pork chipolatas.
Raw, they looked like this:
...and the bacon looked like this:
Cooked in the way Mum initially did, they looked pretty much the same afterwards. The sausages didn't change colour. Nor did the bacon.
While everything tasted fine, the meat parts always looked - to me, anyway - somewhat ... less than appealing. "Surgical appliance pink" is the kindest way to put it, and that's all I'm saying. This is apparently "white coddle" and Dubs can get quite defensive about This Is The Way It SHOULD Look.
I'm not a Dub, so I persuaded Mum to fry both the bacon and sausages first, just enough to get a bit of brown on, and wow! Improvement! I remember my Dad nodding in approval but - because he was Wise - not saying anything aloud until Mum gave it the green light as well.
Doing the coddle in the oven, first with lid on then with lid off, came later and met with equal approval. So did using only half of the onion raw and frying the other half lightly golden in the bacon fat.
Nobody quoted from a movie that wouldn't be made for another decade, but there was a definite feeling of...
*****
There are coddle recipes all over the Net: I've made sure that these are from Ireland to avoid the corned-beef-not-boiled-bacon "adjustment" versions which are definitely out there. I've already seen one with Bratwurst. Just wait, it'll be chorizo next.
Oh, hell's teeth, I was right. And from RTE...
Returning to relative normality, here's Donal Skehan's white coddle and his browned coddle with barley (I'm going to try that one).
Here's Dairina Allen's Frenchified with US measurements version. (I feel considerably less heretical now.)
And finally (OK, not Irish, but it references a couple of the previous ones and is a VERY comprehensive write-up, so gets a pass) Felicity Cloake's Perfect Dublin Coddle (perfect according to who, exactly...?) in The Guardian.
*****
Returning to the beginning, and how boiled bacon became corned beef (a question which prompted @dduane to start an entire website...!)
The traditional Irish meat animal for those who could afford it was the pig, but when Irish immigrants (even before the Great Famine) arrived in the USA, they often lived in the same urban districts as Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.
For fairly obvious reasons pork, bacon and other piggy products were unavailable in those districts, but salt beef was right there and far cheaper than any meat Irish immigrants had ever seen before.
Insist on tradition or eat what was easy to find? There'd have been contest - and do I sometimes wonder a bit if sauerkraut ever came close to replacing cabbage for the same reason.
The pre-Famine Irish palate liked sour tastes: a German (?) visitor to Ireland in the mid-1600s wrote about about what were called "the best-favoured peasantry in Europe", and mentioned that they had "seventy-several sour milks and creams*, and the sourer they be, the better they like them."
* Yogurt? Kefir? Skyr? Gosh...
Corned beef and Kraut as the immigrants' celebratory "Irish" meal for St Patrick's Day? Maybe, maybe not.
Time for "Immigrant Song" (with kittens).
youtube
*****
Corned beef got its name from the size of the salt grains with which the beef was prepared. They were usually bigger than kosher salt, like pinhead oats or even as large as grains of wheat, and their name derived originally from "corned (gun)powder", the large coarse grains used in cannon.
BTW, "corn" has been a generic English term for "grain" for centuries, and "but Europe didn't have corn" is an American mistake assuming the word refers to sweetcorn / maize, which it doesn't.
Lindsey Davis, author of the "Falco" series, had a couple of rants about it and other US-requested "corrections". As she points out, mistakes need corrected but "corn" is not a mistake, just a difference in vocabulary.
*****
In Ancient and Medieval Ireland pig would have included wild boar, the hunting of which was a suitable pastime for warriors and heroes, because Mr Boar took a very dim view of the whole proceeding and wasn't shy about showing it (see "wild boar" in my tags and learn more).
Cattle were for milk, butter, cream and little cattle; also wealth, status, and heroic displays in their theft, defence or recovery. It's no accident that THE great Irish epic is "The Cattle-Raid of Cooley" / TĂĄin BĂł CĂșailnge (tawn / toyn boh cool-nyah).
Killing a cow for meat was ostentation on a level of lighting cigars with 100-, or even 500-, currency-unit notes. Once it had been cooked and eaten there'd be no more milk, butter, cream or little cattle from that source, so eating beef was showing off And Then Some.
Also, loaning a prize bull to run with someone else's heifers was a sign of great friendship or alliance, while refusing it might be an excuse for enmity or even war. IMO that's what Maeve of Connaught intended all along, picking undiplomatic envoys who would get drunk and shoot their mouths off so the loan was refused and she, insulted, would have an excuse to...
But I digress, as usual. Or again. Or still... :->
*****
For the most part, "pig" mean "domestic porker", and in later periods right up to the Famine, these animals were seldom eaten.
Instead, known as "the gentleman who pays the rent", the family pig ate kitchen scraps and rooted about for other foods, none of which the tenant had to grow or buy for them. These fattened pigs would go to market twice a year, and the money from their sale would literally pay that half-year's rent.
For wealthier (less poor?) farmers, pigs had another advantage. Calves arrived singly, lambs might be a pair, but piglets popped out by the dozen. A sow with (some of) her farrow was even commemorated on the old ha'penny coin...
What with bulls, chickens, hares, horses, hounds, pigs, salmon and stags, the pre-decimal Irish coinage is a good inspiration for some sort of fantasy currency.
But that's another post, for another day.

eyes on fire | carmen berzatto headcanon
carmen berzatto x ex!reader (but not for long...)
warnings. language, mentions of suicide & death (mikey)
authors note. thinking of turning this into a fic but i just wanted to get these thoughts thrown onto a page for now | EDIT 7/7: ITS A FIC! HERES PART ONE
you hated carmen berzatto, to say the least
you had been each others first s/o and spent a lot of the end of your teenage years attached at the hip
every berzatto family function (no matter how messy they always ended), every school dance, every hell's kitchen rerun--you and carmy were together
mikey liked to call you guys soulmates, watching how you and carmy just seemed to click like that- a statement that never failed to make carmy go flush in the face (que richie faking barfing in the background)
you were one of the first people that carmen told about his wishes for the future-how he wanted to take up the restaurant with his brother and continue the berzatto tradition
you loved the way his eyes lit up when he talked about cooking with his family-the way he gave his all into his aspirations
"well you gotta make sure i'm the first one to eat those fancy sounding dishes when you start working at the beef, carm"
"absolutely, babe. i wouldn't have it any other way"
however, like everyone after high school, you and carmy hit a rough patch that sunk your relationship -- you were planning to go to college for business administration and carmy was leaving chicago to go to culinary school
you two definitely attempted everything in your power to stay together-late night skype calls, daily texts, hell you even offered to fly to new york to spend time together
but the more swamped you got with school and the more carmen got slammed with cooking (especially right before he went of to Noma), the more the truth begun to show itself
the breakup was messy, because it was less a breakup and more of ...
you: what are we doing right now? like, as a couple?
carmen: i think that i need to focus more on my career right now
you: oh, so..are we breaking up right now? (read 9:57PM)
you: carmen? (read 10:15)
you: ok, asshole, be that way (delivered)
that's right, that motherfucker ghosted you
despite the tumultuous ending of you and carmen's relationship, you were still close to sugar and mikey (and, unfortunately for you, richie)
sugar was adamant on flying over to copenhagen and have a "conversation" with her brother herself + mikey and richie were not too far behind on the cause
"it's fine guys. let's just all agree that carmen is a soft little bitch" you said, trying to lighten the mood even though you knew that you were still racking thru the pain being broken up with so suddenly
you deal with the breakup harshly at first, but you put a lot of that emotion towards your own growth
fast forward a couple years, you graduated college and are on the up-and-up in chicago as a successful business marketing manager
you get closer to the berzattos, strangely, as carmy gets more distant
you don't think of carmy much anymore but it grows harder as he wins awards and recognitions in his field that honestly make you..proud, in strange way
then, mikey dies...and a lot of things change for you
you help sugar and richie plan the funeral, and something sour sinks into your stomach when you don't see that familiar head of dirty blonde hair during the service
some months pass and you try to gather yourself and get back to normal after mikey's passing
richie invites you down to the beef one day to "catch up" randomly
you go, if not to just see tina and the rest of the crew but are met with great surprise when you see him
carmen motherfucking berzatto, in the flesh, standing behind the bar yelling to richie about something nonsensical
he stops yelling when he hears the door open and literally freezes in place when he sees you
you stare at him for a second, taking in the man who once had your heart, noting the new tattoos and the new way he styled his hair and he seems to be doing the same
then, richie breaks the silence--"oh my goodness, what are you doing here, sweetheart?"
you and carmy speak at the same time
"richie, you motherfucker"
"richie, you dick"

Hey, um, I'm a really tall, really skinny gay guy. People have always told me that I could be really athletic if I wanted to, but no matter how much I eat I always stay thin and lanky. I guess it's just my metabolism. Could you help me beef up?
Maybe I just don't have the mindset for it
So, no matter what, even though you desperately want to, you canât seem to put on any muscle. Trust me when I tell you that youâre not alone. There are tons of people who look at their body and wish they were different, and there are just as many who do what they can to change and find it's just not enough. That's part of why transformation blogs exist after all. The fantasy of getting your dream body without all the hassle. Some people say that those who have trouble doing this just need to work harder, or are lazy, but usually it has more to do with genetics and metabolism than anything else. Getting a body like the ones in my post is possible without magic and reality warping apps, but it is very difficult and not possible for everyone. So, your request brings up an interesting idea: what would happen if I changed you mentally and left your body alone? Would the right mindset really change that much? Well, let's see.
It shouldnât be hard to change you mentally. I wonât even go into how. Maybe I used some magic, or nano bots, or something else from my increasingly large collection of jock transformation methods. Honestly the how isnât really important to this experiment. Itâs what happens next that we want to focus on. Because now, mentally, youâre a jock. I didnât entirely rewrite your identity, so youâre still you, just a jock version of yourself. Youâre dumber, simpler. You love sports and working out, and obsess about getting massive muscles. Youâre the stereotypical jock⊠except you're skinny as a bean pole. The new you canât just accept that of course. He wants to be huge. He works out like crazy, follows all the tips, takes every supplement and tries every protein powder he can find, all to chase the version of you he knows he can be. So⊠does it work? Does the new you get a jock body? The answer is fairly boring: kind of. An increased dedication to exercise and a passion for it is sure to make a big difference, and you end up putting on dozens of pounds of muscle, but since I didnât change your body, you still have to deal with the genetics life has dealt you. You get huge, but you donât get as big as some of the other gym goers. Youâre a jock, but youâre not inhumanly massive. Youâre definitely a total stud, but it takes quite some time for you to get where you want to be. Iâm not knocking hard work and dedication, but theyâre not the only factors and itâs ok to acknowledge that. You may never get as big as you dream⊠but that's not really why you do it anymore. Youâre a jock now, and a real jock doesnât just workout because they wanna look good, they do it because they love it! Because itâs their passion! That passion and dedication will take you very far, farther than people get on just good genetics. You may never be the biggest guy in the gym, but youâll get big and enjoy every second of getting bigger.
Of course, that's coming at it from a more grounded viewpoint, and weâre not here to be grounded are we? You want to live out your jock fantasy, and as thanks for letting me do this little experiment with you, Iâll give your muscles an extra little boost! Looks like you will be the biggest guy in the gym after all! With both the right mindset and the perfect body, youâre going to end up a jock bro god. Hope you enjoy it bro! You're gonna have guys throwing themselves at you after this.

HOW HAIKYUU CHARACTERS REACT TO BUGS
a/n - watched a TikTok vid by @emmafischer8 about how setters would react to a spider and it was hilarious so I had to do everyone else too đđ
Warnings â ïž - g/n reader, s/o reader, crack
- heâs not very scared of them so you can probably count on him to kill them for you if you ask đđ
- but honestly heâd probably name a spider Fred and give it a leaf to sit on when he puts it outside
- and in the morning when he wakes up heâd also say good morning to Fred even if he doesnât see him because he thinks Fred might still hear him
- âBokuto whoâs Fred..?â -you
- âThat spider fella from last week! The one that was on the ceiling :)â
- ââŠYou named it?â
- âMhm!â
- âI love you Bokuto đâ
- âOh I love you too y/n :Dâ
- He has a lot of bug friends
- especially during summer he gets a lot of ladybug and butterfly buddies
- he prolly has named them after which friends he thinks they remind him of
- theres a praying mantis named kuroo đ
- heâs scared of them
- he hates them with every fiber of his being
- never take him to Australia or ANYWHERE remotely outdoorsy đ
- heâs the type to get even quieter when heâs afraidâ and he canât even bring himself to move away from said danger he just stares at it helplessly đ
- he could be doing homework or something and then all of the sudden his pencil will stop, and heâs just frozen in place
- you canât even tell if bros still breathing
- âAkaashi..? You ok?â -you
- thereâs no answer
- no acknowledgment
- just dead silence
- then you see why, and itâs a tiny little spider on the wall in front of his desk
- you have to kill all the bugs or take em outside, akaashi will do everything else but that for you so yeah đ
- you also might have to comfort him for a while after because heâs so scared he gets nightmares about em đ
- I swear yk those jumpscare vids on TikTok where the bug legit jumps out at you and that Asian dude is like: hey, you ok?
- BUT THE MF COMES WAY TOO FREAKING LATE SO IT DOESNT EVEN HELP
- yeah akaashi has beef with him
- he wants to set his house on fire and lock the doors with the guy still inside :)
- seriously you could be just chilling and all of the sudden heâll chuck his phone across the room and he looks like he looked at Medusa or sum đ
- those vids that try to like make you feel bad for bugs because theyâre just trying to exist mean nothing to him
- âOk then exist somewhere else? Preferably nowhere near me?â -Akaashi (probably)
IM TALKING ABOUT THIS GUY. (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
- ok seeâ he doesnât call it âfearâ
- he calls it âdisliking things with more than 3 legsâ
- he acts all tough and mighty until youâre faced with the final bossâŠ
- summer
- Idk why but I feel like heâd have a tiny little dogâ like a corgis or a terrier or something
- it sometimes eats flies and stuffâ and Kuroo worships it đ
- heâs totally the type to like try and create some intricate trapping system for bugs so that his dog can take care of it for him
- Kenma thinks heâs insane :) (he is)
- side note he also probably cuddles with his dog and has good dreams whenever he sleeps with it nearby him đ„Čđ
- anyways, youâre basically his knight in shining armor now, congrats! :D
- âOh y/n you look absolutely gorgeous todayââ -kuroo
- âWhereâs the bug.â
- ââŠ..Corner wall.â
- sly mf đ bro thought he could fool you
- donât worry heâll make it up to you however you want đ
- you name it and heâll do it
- anything for his knight in shining armor
- his heroic insect slayer
- his courageous promised messiahâ
- yeah you get the gist lmfao
- you should probably start taxing him for it
- he MIGHT boycott you though đ
- I honestly think theyâre scared of him
- I feel like no bug has ever escaped osamuâs sight
- like if a fly lands on his food itâs genocide time
- he will find its cohorts and kill every single last one
- kinda scary ngl đ
- in the kitchen heâs probably armed with a fly swatter 24/7
- not one of those plastic flimsy ones though, the heavy duty high voltage shit, only the best
- Letâs be real though, if a fly noticed Osamu looking at itâ itâd run and not be able to escape đ
- Those vids that are like: âno but the bug was just existingâ what if it had a family?â Yeah no Osamu doesnât give a shit
- âItâs their fault for touching my food. Not my fault they might not have a parent anymore.â -osamu
- âYeah but you didnât need to likeâ chop it up like an onionïżœïżœïżœđâ
- âIt reminded me of Atsumu so I was extra pissed at it.â
- âHey! :(â -Atsumu
- âAh I see, makes sense.â
- âHEY! >:(â
a/n - I need an osamu to kill the mosquitoes in my house I canât kill em all myselfâ Iâm losing the war here đ

Enemies to fâïžcking lover Toji
Ok so ive been thinking about releasing a 3-5 part enemies to lovers(or something along those lines) for toji although i know the most common works on here is one shot smut. Trust smut will be involved⊠its toji
You used to be an american spy but japan pays nearly tripple. The jobs were quick easy taking 2 days at max. You had climbed the interest ladder for your ability to get things done in a quick and neat fashion with minimal mess and uproar increasing your salary from 4 figures to six in only a couple of months. Unfortunately theres another assasin whos getting in your way and hes the exact opposite of everything you stand for.Â
Not only does he not wear a mask to cover his identity, he lets his targets know exactly who he his just so they can have his name as their last thought before death.
Toji fushiguro.
The biggest jackass youve ever met.
This wasnt your typical one sided beef where youd get mad at him and hed flirt no he had beef with the number one assassin who was stealing his target which means his money. It truly grinded his gears and yours when they made you split a salary.
âMight as well go home princessâ you hear his raspy voice though princess was said in a derogatory way hes made it clear several times he hated the way you did things. Why be so⊠clean. Death is death.
âFuck off pretty boy go back and crawl into whatever shitty little backroom of a laundry mat and return to horse bettingâ you seethe having done your research on him. Its not like he needed the money for anything important unlike you who wanted it for taking care of responsibilities back home.
This mission had been one of your biggest yet and you did not need to blow your hiding spot nor cover by arguing with his big ass over nothing.
You're grabbed from the crouching position your in and slammed against the brick wall not hard enough to hurt but it does press into your all black outfit.
âYou can do whatever research you want on me but you dont fucking know me⊠you dont know shit.â he snarls lip on his scar stretching further yet you shove him off. âAnd im not a pretty boyâ
âPlease youre not the threat you think you areâ you scoff attempting to bruise his ego and the way he steps forward lets you know you did but you never let your guard down to your surroundings and youre quick to pull out your gun aiming in his direction.
He chuckles crossing his arms over his broad chest and you may be uninterested but youre not blind to how his compression tee squeezes him in a way thats⊠satisfactory to the eye.
âGoing to shoot me princess? I thought you were too good to get your hands dirty. Squeemish at blood evenâ he pokes until you release six shots shooting the men slowly approaching that he failed to notice.
âYou fucking shot me!â He growls touching the tiny drip of blood from where the bullet grazed the tip of his ear just enough to break skin not cause any definite damage.Â
Taking a bow you smirk before making eye contact with him the only gap in your mask being the slot for your eyes.
âOh sorry about that pretty boy, ill do you a solid and let you tell shiu you got this one all on your own.â you tease knowing his pride wouldn't let him take the credit for something he wouldnât do.Â
âNo i donât want your pity killâ he seethes looking as if heâs ready to throw a tantrum yet you can only smile knowing you won this battle.
âGreat more money for meâ you grin running past him the location no longer serving you any purpose. It was time to cash in and Shiu didnt stay up past 2am.
Toji grabs your arm stopping you from escaping though before he could speak the faint sound of sirens in the distance growing closer.
âWhat? You goinâ to hold me here until the cops get here with these other dead bodies how do you think thatâs going to look? A big, strong and muscular giant holding a petite young woman like myselfâ you victimize yourself and you watch the frustration grow in his eyes knowing he has to let you go.
âIts not fucking overâ he hisses releasing you with a slight push making your smile grow even wider.
âGreat more chances for me to teach a pup like you what not to doâ you tease tearing off a piece of his shirt and pressing it to his ear. âWouldnât want your blood at a crime scene would we fushiguruâ
And youre dissapearing into the darkness of night and he watches your silhouette slip down an alley until he no longer can.Â
You may have thought you had the last laugh but he was best friends with Shiu. So when you near you third week of no assignment you figure its time to reach out to the former and see what the issue is. Learning that Toji somehow convinced him you wanted a break you decided it was time to cut your ties temporarily with the man and find a new âproject managerâ
The next assignment is the most youâve ever been offered so high in the six digits itâs close to seven and for a simple retreival mission.
So when youre standing surrounded
âToj
Waking up with a throbbing headache youre confused when you meet the eyes of a spikey haired 5 year old who is playing with a toy truck a black puppy not to far behind. He must feel you stairing since he turns to face you and gives you a toothy grin.
âMy dad must like you, he doesnt let us wear hats in the house but let you keep your mask onâ he stutters slightly and you reach up feeling the mask

That Funny Feeling
Jimmy Solidarity x (gn!reader)
âŠHey! Iâm not dead! And I finally have the urge to write again! Hope you enjoy my spiral into a new fandom!
tw: self-deprecating thoughts, angst (donât worry thereâs a fluff at the end)
Word count: 1.7k
Prompts:
âYou are worthy of love and friends and respect.â
"why do you care!" "because iâm in love with you!"
Summary:
You walk in on Jimmy having beef with a fence post, and though you're not really surprised, you wonder if heâs dealing with more pain than just that of his injured foot. Includes you giving the poor guy a much needed hug, and a slip-up that lets him in on how much you really care about him.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You donât think youâve ever really seen Jimmy upsetâŠnot really. He never minded being the butt of any joke, laughing along at any jab or insult. He didnât mind if people made fun of him as long as it made someone laugh at the end. He was selfless like that. You were always a little bit jealous of his resilience, and maybe thatâs why you always thought of him as almostâŠinvincible.
So, when one day you came to check up on how the Sheriffâs new building was going, you were surprised to see that barely any progress had been done. It actuallyâŠseemed like heâd torn parts of it down. You approached slowly, taking in the half done walls and foundation, a door frame without a door, and started to look for him.Â
Before you can even call out to him, though, you see the back of a familiar blonde cowboy. A cowboy who was seemingly talking to himself. âNo- come on Jim! You know you can do better at this- you just gotta⊠just gottaâŠâ He stops, clenching his fists and yelling out in frustration. âItâs not that hard!â He emphasizes the last word by kicking a rickety fence post, but it must have been sturdier than he expected because he instantly flinched back, grabbing his foot and crying out in pain.
The whole sight was almost cartoonish, with him wearing his cowboy hat and boots, so you couldnât help but snicker even as you reached out your hand in concern. âOh my god Jimmy, are you ok?â You canât stop the smile that spreads on your face, but it wavers slightly as you approach him and noticeâŠare those tears in his eyes? He quickly wipes his face, replacing his frustrated look with an excited smile.Â
âOh hi! I didnât even see you there! Me and this fence post are having beef, actually- See, it wonât do what I tell it to, and make my stuff look good so I was reminding âem who's in charge round here!â He laughs a little as he says it, his smile so bright you're inclined to believe himâŠit wasnât quite reaching his eyes though, and you still wonder if the kick hurt him more than he was letting on.
âYea, you really showed him!â You try to mirror his energy, shaking off some of your worries as he replies in his usual chipper tone.
âYea I did!â He laughs but then slightly turns away from you. âListen uhâŠyou know I always love having you around. Youâre welcome anytime! But uhâŠI really have a- a thing I gotta do andâŠâ Your smile drops as you see him wince a little as he puts his weight on the foot he âbeat upâ the fence post with.
âHey Jimmy, is your foot ok?â You walk up to him, concerned. âMaybe you should sit down-â
âNah Iâm fineâŠprobably anyway.â He laughs like itâs a joke, but when you look at him you're not smiling.
âYou're limping. You might not have broken anything but- here, sit down.â You gently put your hand on his shoulder.
âItâs really nothing, Iâm just being an idiot...â He moves away from your touch, shaking it off and puffing up his chest a little. He tries to shoot you a smile again, but it did little to aid your concerns.
âJust, let me take a look at it? Maybe I can help-â You start, a little frustrated at his stubbornness.
âBut I donât need help! I can take care of it myself! I just- I just stubbed my toe. Iâll be fine!â You sigh, giving him a weird look, but deciding not to push it.
ââŠwhy were you beefing with the fence post anywayâŠdid it kill your grandma?â You joke, hoping to fix the awkward air that had somehow come between the two of you. Itâs weird, youâd never felt awkward talking with him before.
Instead of responding, Jimmy just turned towards his half finished building. And stood there. After a while he finally spoke. âListen Iâm, kinda busy right now. Maybe you can come back another time?â âŠAlright thatâs it-
âOk Jimmy, what is up with you? I came here to see your build, which looks less finished than when I saw it days ago may I add, and instead I see you kicking a fence post, getting defensive when I try to help, and now you donât even laugh at my Trolls joke? âŠok maybe it's an old meme but still-â You chuckle, still kind of hoping heâd just turn around and start acting normal again. Youâve never seen him act like this before.
All he did was stand thereâŠand as the silence grew longer you couldnât help but start to get worried. âGoshâŠI really am useless.â He finally says.
You almost roll your eyes, âYour not useless Jim-âÂ
âYes- yes I am!â He says it so firmly you freeze. Youâve never heard him raise his voice like that before.Â
âI canât build, I canât fight, I canât even be the guy who smiles all the time! Iâm- Iâm basically worthl-â He stops himself. ââŠand I donât know why Iâm telling you this- Iâm sorry.â You're so surprised by his words you donât even know what to say. âI didnât mean to yell. Itâs just-â He takes his hat off of his head and grips it in his hands. âItâs so stupid- Iâm so stupid. It shouldnât be this hard for me to just-â His grip on the hat tightens.
ââŠJimmy, you are not worthless. You donât have to smile all the time to be the brightest ray of sunshine I know. You could probably make me see the silver lining of getting stabbed for god's sake-â You almost laugh at your own words, hoping it would get through to him. âYou are worthy of love and friends and respect. And Iâm sorry I donât tell you that enough.â You walk up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. He slowly spins around, but doesnât meet your eyes.
âIâm just being a baby-â
âNo, no you're not. Itâs ok to- to feel bad sometimes.â You interrupt gently before he can insult himself again.
âWhy- why do you even care?â His voice wavers, and now you can see the tears streaming out of his eyes.Â
âBecause I love youâŠyou idiot.â Jimmy freezes, and even you are a little surprised at your own words, but itâs true. âPeople care about you- I care about you! I don't care that you canât build giant castles or fight dragons, or that you get mad or sad sometimes-â Your rambling a bit, trying to recover from the bombshell you just dropped. Jimmy was just staring at you, eyes wide.Â
ââŠyouâŠlove me? LikeâŠlove, love me?!â He says slowly, not really paying attention to anything else you said after.
âI- this is probably not the best time to just- but, yea. I really do.â You canât help but look down as you admit it, and when you look back up at him heâs crying all over again. âIâm sorry I didnât mean to-â
He steps forward and wraps you in a hug, sobbing into your shoulder. You hug him back, rubbing his back and giving him some words of encouragement. Slowly his sobs get quieter, and eventually he pulls away from the hug.
âUmâŠâ He sniffs. âI know I probably look like a mess right now-â
âJust a little.â You tease gently, wiping a stray tear off of his face.
âRight- but umâŠI love you too. Just so you know.â He avoids your eyes as he says it, then looks directly into them, gauging your reaction, as if to ensure this wasnât all a joke.
âLikeâŠ?â You start.
âYeaâŠlike that.â He gently bumps his forehead against yours, his regular confident smile returning to his face. âI cannot believe you fell for my Sheriff rizz.â You laugh, shaking your head.
âDonât- donât say rizz-â You try to suppress a giggle, pretending to be upset. âGreat, now you ruined the moment.â
His bravado instantly drops, âWait. No wait I didnât mean to-â You shut him up by yanking his neckerchief and planting a kiss on his cheek. âToâŠtoâŠâ His face slowly reddens as his brain catches up to his speeding heart.
âFixed it.â You say simply, chuckling softly as your Sheriff still reboots. âI think Iâm the one with the rizz~â You laugh.
âYea, no I see how that ruins the moment.â You laugh even harder at his reaction, and he canât help but join in. After a few moments, you end up gazing into his bright hazel eyes.
âYou know you can always talk to me when you're feeling upset.â You say seriously, taking one of his hands with both of your own. âDonât justâŠno one should be alone when they're feeling like that.â
â...I knowâŠYou're right, as always.â He smiles appreciatively, grabbing one of your hands with his free one. You both stand there, swaying your interlocked hands gently back and forth, just enjoying the other's company.
âYou know, when you're feeling up to it, why donât I help you finish thisâŠâ You look over the half finished building, realizing you had no idea what it was actually supposed to be.
âBarn. Itâs â â he sighs, as if even bringing it up makes him feel tired all over again, â â âsupposed to be a barn.âÂ
âBarn! Right, and we could even ask Joel to help.â His eyes widen.
âNo! You canât tell him- Oh my god Iâd never hear the end of it!â You laugh at the urgency in his voice.
âOk! Ok. Itâll just be me. Iâll help youâŠâ You let go of his hands and instead interlock your fingers behind his neck. âItâll be our little secret.â He gazes into your eyes with a look only comparable to a lovesick puppy.
âGosh I really wanna kiss you right now-â He lets out with a whisper, and then itâs your turn to get a little flustered.
âWellâŠthen kiss me cowboy.â You lean in and he meets you halfway, and the kiss is just as sweet as the blonde Sheriff you share it with.

I would love to read founders konoha from the kids, teens and adults based on their interactions so much.
I just want the kids to be 'huh. Not what I was expecting' and just all the horror stories heard
Give the teens so much 'oh no, that's hot' and it's worse bc you were previously enemies so you could pine over an enemy that wasn't available but now it's a chance.
Adults just bonding over their kids antics. Yes I know it would be more but let them bond over than just fighting, though they can be like 'it was cool/difficult move you pulled'
I THINK THAT IT JUST HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL !!!
Obviously, we see very little of early Konoha as is. And what we do see is all from the perspective of like, those at the very, very top of it, in charge of it all, planning, all that.
THE AMOUNT OF FUCKING "FORBIDDEN ROMANCES" THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE VILLAGE IS SO REAL THO. LIKE. Ok so u have all these shiobi kids, (many of which are probably wired to be attracted to deadly things, just by virtue of how theyre raised) going from isolated communities where the dating pool consists of arranged marriages and the same guys youve known since u were 5, suddenly thrust into a setting with so many other shinobi kids and clans that it takes actual effort to keep track of. And also you have pre set sterotypes and relationships to go off of just based off of their clan alignment, and all this melodrama about becoming friends (or more) with the people who, a year ago, you were expected to KILL.
And you also have the exact same thing but playing out with allied clans, where some kids are coming to the "rescue" of their allies. I bet some of them like look forward to seeing their allied clan counterparts in whatever monthly or even yearly trips they no doubt beg to be let to go on. Just for the opportunity to see their friends or crushes that one single time a year-- BUT NOW THEY LIVE IN THE SAME VILLAGE !!!
These guys are losing their MINDS
The parents have the most genuine beef between them, even while the children may be louder about it-- but the children's antics are pulling the parents together. Maybe because they need to at least try to set a good example, maybe because they just need someone to be able to share a glance with and go "can you believe this shit?"
I just love thinking ab specifically not even how messy the Uchiha and Senju kids would be living in proximity, but like just tossing in all these different clans from all over.
Bc at first, when its just Senju and Uchiha, its at least straight forward. But then you start mixing in other major clans-- Hyuuga, Nara, and it gets messier. And then the smaller clans are also getting mixed in, Orochi, Hatake, Shiranui, etc. And then more big clans arrive, and even more smaller, and now there are civilians here, and a lot of the younger clan members have never even interacted with a civilian outside of their jobs, and it's just so messy.
What do you do when a battlefield crush is suddenly living only a few minutes away? When you're suddenly seeing them daily? Even potentially going on missions with them? There's going to be so much pigtail pulling and just awful idiot shinobi flirting via mutual harassment
Anyways I firmly believe that there was a major baby boom in the first couple of years of Konoha being founded, many of which were probably idiot teenagers fooling around bc they couldnt manage to go on a mission with an enemy clan member without the crazy tension getting to them, send tweet.
ALSO !!! It would be such a great medium to tackle writing fun clan rumors and stereotypes about clans and also people! I want to see random people gossip about the founders !!!

1. I can't speak for other cultures that were represented in this show (I'm so sorry if your representation was ruined too), but since I'm a South Asian and specifically an Indian and Hindu. I think I have some credibility. Ok, so this may depend on the interpretations of Hinduism that you've grown up with if you're a Hindu reading this. Well, growing up, I was always taught that Chakras were so important. I learned that the GODS could not accomplish something unless they access all their Chakras (again, this is the interpretation I grew up with it might not be the same for you). So the fact that watching Aang just be able to live life without accessing all of his charkas properly was a big slap to the face. Let me just say this right now. If you were representing a culture, especially the culture that you base the entire show on you either do it correctly or you don't do it at all. Don't make it half-baked because that's just disrespecting the people who follow that religion. And you're emphasizing how insignificant their religious values are (mind you Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world). What little representation we had was also ruined.
2. I also want to talk about another point since I'm here. I think I've made it very clear that I'm a woman of color. Even though me and Katara Are not the same ethnicity. She was my representation through skin color. And it's so interesting. How even though I knew that she was not my ethnicity, I still grasped onto her as a representation. Now this is not a PSA for studios to say "Hey, let's have a person that is brown, and everyone will be okay with it because they will have a person of the same skin to relate to." No this is me criticizing the lack of diversity in the show. The fact that you can base an entire show on a culture but not be able to handle a main character from that culture. And also I think the reason why I like Zuko and Katara ( I've made this point before) But the amount of respect that they have. As a woman of color, I have not exactly received respect from other men whether that be because of my gender or my skin color. So seeing a woman of color be respected regardless it's just so refreshing to me.
3. Also I want people to be mindful that a lot of people who ship this ship. Are women of color and/or part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. However, I'm going to talk specifically about women of color since I'm straight. A lot of us have come from countries that have been colonized and still face the repercussions of colonization to this day, so what I'm trying to say is. When woc ship this duo they know what they're doing and they're not doing anything wrong. It's disrespectful to insult them for being racist and misogynistic when in reality a lot of these women face misogyny and racism in their own lives. They understand why they ship this ship. They understand it very well because they able to see and understand what is truly going on.
4. If you have a problem with this post and want to potentially hunt me down. I'm only saying this because I've seen other women of color be harassed for liking Zutara. I need you to remember that I'm a teenager. I'm a kid. I don't think you want to beef with a kid. And no, it does not matter that I'm 18. You shouldn't be harassing anyone over a ship. In fact, accusing shippers of being racist but then being racist to that poc/woc shipper is insane. It kind of shows that those people are not on a moral high horse.
5. I'm a kid......don't even think about it.

Penmanship
Satoru Gojo x Gender-neutral Reader
series: incomplete
words: 2.4k
warnings: none apply; funny; meet-ugly; no mentioned female or male anatomy; no spoilers; no curses; slow build; slow to update; college au
summary: A band of barbieâs are after you because you somehow acquired a new boyfriend.
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 âŠ+
Youâre not sure when the whispers started, but you knew when it started bothering you.
After the unfortunate escapade you had in Sherlock-Houdiniâs house, you had left with his â offer â completely shut down. You decided to just bite the bullet and apologize to your niece and brother-in-law. It pains you to think about going home for winter break and having to tell them of your mistake, but nothing can be done if youâre being blackmailed for it. Due to lack of funds youâre set to head home next Friday even though the break starts this Friday, and honestly, youâre glad for the excuse to prolong the inevitable.
Youâre also hoping that in these last few days before break, the weird atmosphere that seems to be following you will dissipate.
You started noticing it this morning, whenever you looked at someone it seemed they were already looking your way. Quick looks and rushed whispering gave you the impression that the topic of discussion was you. At first, you believed you might be crazy. Why in the world would anyone be talking about you. You were a random nobody that carefully skirted through university unnoticed and thatâs how youâve been living the past three years here.Why suddenly would people start noticing you, if you had done nothing differently?
But then a group of girls, whom you had vaguely remembered from somewhere but couldnât place where, had come up and asked for your name. Once you confirmed that the name they were referring to was yours they laughed conivingly and walked away. As they walked away you heard one of them say, âShe has nothing to worry about,â which only furthered your confusion.
A quick search into Rikkiâs instagram story, confirmed your suspicions. Those girls ran in a pretty popular circle on the campus. All those fraternity boys and sorority girls seem to clique to each other, you made sure you stayed very far away from that scene. But Rikki, your roommate and beautiful social butterfly that she is, seemed to turn up in that scene quite a lot.
Regardless of the weird atmosphere persisting around you, you refused to let the whispers get to you.
Which is why youâre at your roommate's door as she packs to go home for the break, asking her why a group of her friends are cackling at you.
She sighs tiredly. Probably because she has a flight at four in the morning and only two hours to pack. Which you did try to tell her not to procrastinate it for this very reason. Rikki takes your phone to look at the picture of the girls who laughed at you that day.
âThese are Kaiyaâs friends,â she hands you back your phone and continues her task.
âMm.â You hum in mock understanding; you pause for a moment,â...whoâs Kaiya?â she sighs again.
âVice President of her sorority,â she replies without looking up.
âOh ok,â you nod, âbut why are they laughing at me?â a third, exhausted sigh.
âPlease,â she pleads, plopping flat on her bed, âIâm too tired for this,â
âOh no no no,â You grab her wrist and hoist her back onto her feet. This girl can fall asleep standing up if she tried and you know that once she gets comfy sheâs out like a light. You canât have her fall asleep before you figure out what beef youâve somehow cooked up with sorority girls youâve never even met.
âI donât know!â she whines. The lack of sleep is starting to get to her.
âCâmon Rikki, please. Just think, why would Kaiya and her band of misfit barbies be after me?â
She sits back on the bed and rests her head on her fist propped by her leg. She looks at you with a sleepy expression, the shadow under her eyes heavy. You can tell sheâs thinking, but youâre not sure how hard considering sheâs about ready to fall over as it is. She rubs her eyes aggressively and puts a finger to her temple to massage it. She groans, the gears presumably turning.
âDid anyone say anything to you?â you ask, in hopes of speeding up the thinking process. Then she looks at you, brows slightly furrowed. You begin to grow concerned. âWhat?â Rikki sighs and places her head back into her hands.
âI remember Masai talking about Mori getting back together with an ex that used to be involved with Suguru. It was rumored that she tried to take a pass at Satoru but he rejected her because heâs dating someone. News spread to Kaiya, whoâs been trying to get in Satoruâs pants for months even when she was dating Mori, and sheâs been trying to find out who it is,â Now you sigh, exhausted just from hearing about all of this drama. You donât even know who any of these people are. âI donât know if it correlates to you but thatâs just whatâs been going on lately,â
âI donât know anybody you just named,â you deadpan. She dramatically flops backwards onto her bed, landing on a pile of clothes she has yet to fold, and groans loudly. She holds up her hand and begins counting off fingers.
âWell Kaiya is the one whoâs after you,â one finger, âMori is her most recent ex-boyfriend,â two fingers, âMasai is my friend and also questionably Kaiyaâs friend,â three, âSatoru is the white haired dude thatâs literally your project partner â I find it crazy that you still donât know his name â â you grimace, âand Suguru is his best friend,â She finishes, five fingers.
After the painful realization that you never once knew Herc-Sherlock-Houdini-Creepsterâs name, you remember that the two of you have been spending more time together lately for the project, albeit at his request, but time together nonetheless. And now it makes you wonder if those girls think the two of you might actually beâŠtogether.
âI know the two of you have been talking more as of late so iâm thinking she assumes youâre the one Satoru is dating,â Rikki voices your worries out loud, you nod in response, not that she can see considering her eyes are closed.
Youâre at a stand still. And a little confused. Youâre not sure how you would go about fixing this issue, it seems that many bits of information come from the rumor mill and the little tidbit of you and satoruâs relationship might have been going around for a while. If you were to try to deny it now it might make it worse.
But if Satoru were to deny it then maybe the rumors would die off.
You get up to leave Rikkiâs room, noticing sheâs asleep and you decide to give her fifteen minutes to rest. Youâll wake her and help her pack. Since becoming project partners (and after the embarrassing fiasco at his house) youâve exchanged phone numbers for convenience, so in the meantime, youâre gonna text Satoru about this little rumor.
Satoru, unsurprisingly, is awake at twelve in the morning. Anyone who knows him knows that heâs a night owl and an early bird. He doesnât sleep much but he usually isnât tired anyway. So, when his phone alerts him of a message, he reads it immediately unbeknownst to him that the person sending it thought heâd read it in the morning.
rumors going around that weâre dating?
Oh, Satoruâs eyebrows rise. You found out.
When Satoru first met you in the beginning of the school year he didnât think much of you, he found your facial expressions funny, and he definitely noticed that you only scooted one chair over on purpose when he asked (demanded) for your seat. After that encounter though, you became just like every other blurry face in the crowd. And that day when he asked you for a pen, he really needed it. But when you handed him that extremely gaudy pen, he truly looked at you for the first time.Â
You looked exhausted beyond belief, and he realized that throughout the time that youâve been desk mates heâs barely seen you wear color, and the few times that you did heâs never seen you wear bright pink or anything Hello Kitty related. It intrigued him to say the least and he felt that he absolutely needed to know why you had this pen. When you explained, a part of him believed you, but the part that always had his guard up (from the absolute onslaught of advances from mostly Kaiya) was still on edge.Â
At the end of class he put your pen in his bag, like he usually would with his own, and left to meet Suguru for lunch somewhere off campus. He genuinely forgot. So, when he was finally pressured, by Suguru, to go to class that Friday he was surprised that you still cared about the pen. It clicked in his mind that this might be an advance. Your overall demeanor and vibe didnât tell him that it was you that was trying to get at him. But he figured since each of Kaiyaâs friends have tried to get at him for her sake, he wouldnât be surprised if she paid someone to try since he now knows all of her friends and their friends' faces. That had given him the idea to see if you could be persuaded to leave him alone.Â
So, he bit the bullet. And invited you to his fraternity. He didnât plan to actually sleep with you, he just wanted to know where you stood in Kayiaâs ridiculous plan. Then when you blew up at him. He was embarrassed, at first, for his assumption when he realized you were completely serious about needing that pen back, but then quickly regained his resolve. He felt that he had missed any chances to speak to you again after that and decided to keep his distance, but he did plan to give you the pen back. He began to mourn the small banter-full interactions the two of youâd have.
He showed up late the following Monday and was told of the project and when he was told his partnering, he felt like a dream opportunity had fallen right into his lap. It excited him. He jumped at the opportunity to turn the tides. So, he asked you out. He didnât care if you thought he was serious or not. If you did, then heâd have a genuine partner to keep people off his back and if you didnât, then he could propose it as a fake dating situation and he wouldnât have to pretend to like you romantically. But your general disdain for him ran deeper than he thought, and you rejected him outright.
It was fine though, that didnât deter him from his plan. He started telling people that he was dating someone. The project was the perfect excuse to spend more time with you and make it look like you two were actually together. He never told anyone that the two of you were dating, but he knew the implications were there and that was the idea.
And now it seems youâve somehow gotten looped in on the rumors.Â
call me
The two of you had never called before. Your conversations stayed through text, but to be perfectly honest he preferred phone calls. He texted you first to see if youâd be comfortable and maybe 5 minutes passed before he just assumed you werenât gonna call him. He was drafting a text to you when his phone began ringing and your contact was showing on his screen. He smirked and clicked the green button.
âHi~â Satoru drawls almost seductively into the phone speaker but keeping his tone light so you can tell heâs not serious.
âDo you know if itâs true?â you say back, straight to the point, and Satoru wishes he could see your face. Since the moment he met you heâs learned that he loves seeing what kind of reaction he can get out of you. Any reaction pleases him really. Irritation is usually the emotion heâs met with but itâs hilarious every time.
âIf whatâs true?â He finds it hard to hold back the smile spreading on his face. Teasing you comes so easily. He hears you sigh on the other end.
âThat thereâs a rumor,â
âHmm, I havenât heard of any rumors,â he lies.
âThereâs a rumor that youâre dating someone and today someone, Kaiya?â The name irks him beyond belief, âI donât know if you know her but today her posse like, sized me up and I'm on her radar now. I talked to my roommate about it, and she thinks that maybe people are assuming weâre together? I want to know if you know anything about it,â Satoru didnât anticipate that Kaiya would go out of her way to find you, but in hindsight that was a little naive of him.
âI have been telling people Iâm with someone, Iâm not,â he doesnât know why he felt the need to clarify that, âbecause Kaiya has been trying to jump my bones for as long as Iâve known her. Iâve rejected her so many times but sheâs relentless. I hoped that pretending to be in a relationship would get her off my back,â you sigh, you seem tired.
âThatâs fine I guess but if someone asks could you please deny it?â
âOuch baby, you donât even want to pretend to date me?â he feigns hurt.
âNo.â He just laughs.
âWeâre still on for tomorrow right?â
âYes, goodnight Satoru,â And Satoru finds himself still. Heâs never heard you say his name before. The late hour forces your tone to be hushed, and deeper than usual, so hearing his name spoken in that tone does something to him. Heâs not sure what but itâs solidified in his mind that he needs to hear it again.
âGoodnight baby~â he teases in hopes that he can elicit his name from your mouth one more time before this call ends.
âDonât call me that.â you say, followed by the triple beeps indicating the call has been ended. He sighs and settles further into his sheets. Up until now he was beginning to think you either didnât know his name or you hated him so much that the thought of tasting his name on your tongue made you want to throw up. He was glad neither possibility was true. A sliver of hope that you might be warming up to him was beginning to bloom.

finally reading tsats here are my live thoughts (spoilers, obviously):
iâm so excited because some pages are darkly decorated and its so cool. still donât vibe with the title though (the sun IS a star and its peeving me)
why are we talking about dating darth vader đ where are we rn (anakin is a yes, but DARTH VADER???)
maybe iâm too old but the jokes are not funny đ
âthis whole place feels like my soul. empty and dark. dark as the pit of the underworld.â <- i donât care if heâs joking nico would never say thissss đđ weâre only 10 pages in but please stop butchering my fav character heâs not himselffff i am cringing so bad
i know iâm being dramatic but if they do nico dirty in this book iâm going to end it all
oh my god i donât think iâve thought about the words âsignificant annoyanceâ in so long. bringing back good memories for sure.
i can tell which parts were written by riordan and which parts were written by oshiro. i donât think their voices are blending very well togetherâŠ
also, maybe itâs because itâs the start of the book and theyâre trying to familiarise new readers quickly with the characters but it feels like theyâre making nico the caricature of âemo and shadow and ebony darkness dementia raven way đ„âïžđ€â and will the caricature of âhappy and sunshine and blonde and flower gleam and glow âïžđđ«§â and i usually like this dynamic when itâs not blatantly pointed out every other page. i have faith theyâll show more complexity than this later on though. future yan will let me know by the end. (future yan here, im not at the end but the characterisation def does get more complex thank gods)
oh ok so it is bob the titan
since when was nicoâs actual name niccolo??? how did i forget this detail??
âyou have to listen if not youâll share my fate.â âominous much?â <- ok heâs finally himself again guys itâs all good
the one-sided beef nico has with percy will never not be funny
âcookie monster appeared over the mouth of the jar, reached inside and gobbled up nico like the chocolate-chip cookie he was.â <- nevermind iâve gone back to hating this book again
âwhat was one straight boy when you spent your whole life longing for the impossible?â <- iâm reminded of that time a few years back where everyone made âhaving an unrequited crush on percyâ nicoâs whole fanon personality, so iâm glad they addressed this somewhat. this boy has been through so much and people really thought crushing on percy was the biggest thing to focus on about ânico angst.â
âwe made a mistake. you have to fix it.â <- call me a red flag but if i was nico i would do anything and everything to not go. i would medicate myself so highly on sleeping pills that i canât dream (doctor bf can go kick rocks). i would track percy and annabeth down and haul their asses into tartarus instead to do it. and if i had to go i would only go in to kill bob myself for sending me those traumatic ass nightmares. no thx. bro willingly jumped in himself and now wants me to save him. nuh uh.
not cupid being will đ its like his aphrodite đ i am not well.
they always have a really good and emotionally moving scene and they ruin it with a dumb joke. let it be heavy đđ
somethingâs really fishy and i have a feeling that it might not be bob calling for him
if this whole âgrumpy ball of darknessâ thing continues i will actually lose it
you canât tell me the percabeth pep talk was actually needed. i will forgive it because i miss them though
im sensing tension in the gap between nicoâs connection to the underworld and his relationship with will and iâm here for ittttt. give me the dramaaa
who is the gorgyra girl and why is she in their business sm?
oh shit a will solace pov??? christmas came early đ
nevermind that whole nightmare sequence was so fucked up đđ
somebody HELP HIM i never thought we would get will angst (nico angst fs, but will???)
DONT JUMP IN THE STYX PLEASE
SOMEBODY TELL HIM HEâS HELPFUL OMG
nico strangling epiales in his sleep is so fucking cool heâs literally HIM heâs literally THAT GUY
#first 100 pages pretty much and im. im. ok.#the whole part with epiales is so cool so far.#unfortunately im not a fan of oshiroâs writing in this book. and i can tell which parts is him bc his authorial voice is so diff to riordan#oshiro isnt a bad writer but⊠its really really peeving me#i wish riordan had a consultant rather than a co-author. i think heâs in his element when heâs going solo#nico di angelo#riordanverse#incorrect riordanverse#rick riordan#hoo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#trials of apollo#toa#will solace#solangelo#annabeth chase#meg mccaffrey#lester papadopolous#tsats#the sun and the star#rewriting
