the most devastating shit on earth is that i had a friend in middle school who was like my ride or die. but her only "social media" was Google Fucking Plus. so naturally i have lost her in the wastelands of that shitstorm. but i cannot find her ever again bc she has like The most common name on god's green earth so one facebook search for people with her name in the bronx yields like a million fucking results. so imagine if she's not even in the bronx anymore. 10 million results
#and if by some will from god she's out there wondering about me occasionally too She'd also be shit out of luck#bc my first name is different now. not even close to my birthname. and my last name is a nightmare#i didn't learn how to spell that shit until i was 6 and only so soon bc my mother set aside time to teach me specifically how to spell it#like it was its own school lesson. How to spell my own last name. so i'm not going to imagine someone could ever just Remember That#a decade down the fucking line#but i miss her often. she showed me inuyasha for the first time before rodan even did#we had the most awkward innocent scared quivering animal type lesbianism happening.#i would walk her home even though it meant making my 10 minute walk home into like 45 minutes#she lived in one of the projects and she snuck me in her apartment a few times when her dad wasn't home. that's when we watched inuyasha#one of my ''gifts'' i remember so specifically when we had decided we were dating is. i gave her. a tiny bag of chips.#blinks for a long time at you. i got her A Bag Of Chips.#💀😭 She should've killed me where i stood........#we once kissed because someone said they'd give us 20 dollars for it. We did not get the 20 dollars.#i was mad bc i wanted to split it with her and get snackies at the deli after school together or something. kills my elf#WAAAH i miss her. i miss da bronx too. one day i'm gonna drag rodan downstate to see it all#i want to take him to the bronx zoo and the botanical gardens. but also i just checked and nearly scumpt at the prices#37 DOLLARS..... 💀⁉️ i remember.

Finding out you're pregnant and telling them.
(You can send me ideas or thing you want me to write about them or some one specifically)
Dad!verse masterlist
Masterlist here!
Dream
After the talk, you both decided to be calm about it, so within two months you were waiting for your period, last month it came, so no baby, this month, you felt more tired than ever, so in your mind, you were hoping that now it's positive.
The test was taking longer than needed or you just didn't want to see it?. But when you open your eyes, test in front of your eyes, your mouth open wide, as well your eyes. It was real, it was not another negative test. It's a positive one. You smile and run to Clay's steam room, where he was editing some vlog. You wanted to give the news in a special way but with the extreme amount of excitement, you couldn't take it.
-Babe.- you move his chair so he is now facing you.
-Yes?- his eyes take a minute to see your happiness and he smiles too.
-I am- it's all you say and now tears of joy are escaping from your eyes- I'm pregnant- he jumps out of the chair and hugs you, turning around with you.
-We are gonna be so good, we're gonna do good.- his forehead on yours. Both of you smiling.
Sapnap
You knew. You know your body so bad. It's been 4 months since you decided to do this and you were so upset you haven't missed your period in none of those months. But war is over, you knew this time was right. The test is now hidden in the gift you prepared for the year anniversary of being married. A teddy bear customized as sapnap. Under it. The positive test for pregnancy.
-Open my gift- he says super happy, when you do so, you melt, a necklace with a picture of you two.-Hopefully one day there will be a picture of our family.- his hand is on yours, and your smile.
-Open mine- you smile, tears already coming. He laughs the minute he sees the teddy, but his eyes go a little down, noticing there's something else in the bag.
-I knew it.- he says eyes watery. Smiling big.
-How?- you're surprised, how did he find out?
-I guess i really pay attention to you and this week you were feeling sick, we had so many rushes to store for cravings, and laziness, I mean, you never were lazy.- he smiles wide and you let the tears run down your cheeks, he is so kind and perfect.
George
He was super into having a baby, so it wasn't a surprise that 4 weeks later your last period (which finished one day before having the talk) you were late on it. So you just waited two more days, just in case, but after those two days, the British boy and you rushed to the closest pharmacy to get a pregnancy test.
-So we might do a baby and I can´t see you pee on the stick?- he says annoyed.
-Exactly, now, let me pee, or do you want to pee for me?- I smirk.
-If i could i would.- he jokes and closes the door in front of him.
The waiting turned agonizing for both, but it was worth it. You both run to tell Dream and Sapnap they were going to be uncles.
Karl
This man would be desperate to have a positive pregnancy test, he would ask you every other day if you want to take one.
-Karl, babe, we have to wait at least a month to see if my period comes or not- he looked sad.-We have to be patient, remember?- he nods and goes back to whatever he was doing.
After your period date is late on his calendar (he insisted on knowing when it's supposed to be) he rushes to your work and after your shift is done, he takes a pregnancy test out of his pack.
-Your period is late, you know what that means?- he smiles and you do so, taking this moment and being sure to keep it forever in your memories.
-Fine, let's go home, and then I'll do the test.- you take it and lean to kiss him.
When the test turns out positive he's so happy, he wants to tell everyone, so you both just decided to find a good idea to tell everyone.
Quackity
This special occasion needed some special effort so you practice how to say it in Spanish.
-Babe- you get into the kitchen with the positive test on your pocket
-Yeah?- he's there making coffee for both, the cold morning asks for it.
-mhm- you hesitate but you are proud of your effort, so you just say it.- Estoy.... embarazada- you finish with doubt and he's already seeing you like a gosht.
-You sure you mean that you're pregnant?- you nod and take the positive test out of your pocket to show him. He's overwhelmed, but runs to your side to bring you in a hug.- oh god, you are.- he assures, and you both smile. He pulls you in for a kiss and the rest of the morning is basically you both telling you're families on facetime calls
Punz
You did the test and hope in the shower for a super quick shower before heading to your morning classes.
-Oh my god.- you heard luke on the other side of the curtain.
-What?- you have your eyes closed, enjoying the warm water falling on your head.
-We are pregnant- he says holding the test with the curtain a little open so you can see him.
-Luke!- you close the curtain so he can't see you.
-You mean that we are going to have a child but you don't want me to see you in the shower?- he laughs.
-Shut up, I'm pregnant.- you smile.
-We are darling, we are.- he jokes, resting on the door and looking at the positive test.
-I am the only one pregnant, Luke.- he signs.
-I'm Luke now?- he mumbles.
-Babe, why are you so dramatic?- you appear in his sight vision, a towel on your head, and others around your body.
-I'm gonna be a dad.- he brings you for a kiss and smile.
Foolish
He was there all the goddamn time, he was so sweet. You text him if he could come over because he was at Karl, who is both neighbors haha. He was going thru the door a second after you texted.
-You okay? something happened?- he checks on you and you show him the little box of the pregnancy test. -Oh- he's speechless.
-Want you to be here if it is positive, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be.- you said with a smile. He takes your hand and leads you to the bathroom.
-Come on, piss on it baby- you both laugh.
When the positive was there, you couldn't believe it. Spent the rest of the night talking about the baby's stuff and just enjoying the presence of each other.
Wilbur
You were sure you were pregnant, and the negative tests were fake, so you decided to get a blood pregnancy test, you decided to keep it to yourself in case it was negative, but when the results were in your email box, you didn't want to open it. You did, and you're glad, cause it is a positive test, you are pregnant.
You call Will right away and told him that you both were going to have dinner for a big surprise. So when you're shift was over at the office, he pick you up.
-I cooked, i didn't feel like going out he says the moment you sit in the car.-Hope you're okay with it.- he kisses you and smiles. You are smiling so wide that he feels strange.-You have a big surprise I guess- he laughs and you nod.
-But ill have to wait until we are home.- he pouts and gets the car going.
At home, you are both almost eating now, and he is about to serve you wine, but you hold the bottle before he could pour it into the glass.
-You don't want wine?- he looks strange at you, you always had wine with big surprises and good news.
-It's not that i don't want to, it's that I can't.- you smile wide and he keeps it without picking it up.
-Why? are you taking medicine and i don't know?- he feels like a bad husband now.
-Will, I'm pregnant.- you hold his cheeks and he smiles wide like you are.
-No more wine for you- he leaves the bottle forgotten on the table and picks you in a hug, planting a kiss on your lips, smiling in the middle of this.
The celebration is long and you both feel like you're now complete.
-So i can talk to them?- he points at your stomach.
-Will, there's a group of cells, growing them will take a time.-He looks offended.
-There is our son!- he laughs, the wine kicking in.

anniversaries | yunho
Happy holidays to anyone who celebrates! I just wanted to write something cute and fluffy and short, so I hope you enjoy. <3 Warnings: I tried to avoid gendered terms but there might be some accidents, there are pet names (love, honey), it's implied reader is kinda shorter than Yunho but no specific size parameters are mentioned.
You are a person who keeps track of dates. You know every birthday in your family, always have a plan for holidays, and make sure your coworkers feel admired and appreciated.
So it was a bit of a shock to see your boyfriend of not-quite-one year standing at your door with a little pink box wrapped up in gold ribbon, his eyes bright and excited and his cheeks flushed with the winter chill.
"Yunho!" you exclaimed, nonplussed, ushering him inside and closing the door against the cold. "What are you doing here?"
"Hi to you too," he teases, putting the cake box on the counter and extricating himself from his jacket. During the winter, Yunho is always wearing a soft, fluffy sweater -- a habit he adopted after learning that you couldn't resist burying your face in his chest when he had one on. Even now, you can't help but wrap your arms around his middle, running your hands up and down the soft fabric. "I have a gift for you. I thought I'd surprise you and drop it off."
"What's the occasion?" you ask him.
He grins. "Why don't we sit down first? I want snuggles."
You roll your eyes good-naturedly, cuddling up beside him on the couch in the living room. "What have you been up to today?" you ask him, putting one of your hands up against his cold cheek to try and warm him.
"Honestly, not that much," he says simply, leaning into your touch. "I was mostly thinking about you all day."
You laugh -- he's not usually this clingy.
Your relationship with Yunho began as a friendship that had gradually become something infinitely more. He could make you smile even on days when it was hard to get out of bed, and you also felt that he drew strength from your honesty and good humor. You could talk to him about anything. He was genuinely your very best friend. And that meant everything to you.
"Was there a reason I was on your mind today?" you ask him as he winds his arms around your waist.
"You're on my mind every day," he insists, "but today is special, yes."
"Why?"
"Because I had a very important conversation with Mingi last year that made me decide to shoot my shot."
"Really?" you ask, surprised. "I've never heard this story."
He chuckles. "Well, Mingi and I were hanging out, and we ended up talking about you like we always did because I was a miserable loser who was scared to ask you out --"
"Okay, but I was just as big of a loser as you," you remind him with a playful shove. "We were both just dancing around having that conversation, which in hindsight, is actually pretty funny --"
"Because it was really easy once we finally did it," Yunho laughs. "Yeah, I remember. But I'm telling you a story now, love."
"Sorry," you giggle, looking up at him with wide eyes and trying not to smile. Yunho thinks his heart might explode, so he continues.
"It's okay. But anyway, Mingi got fed up with me and told me if I didn't ask you out I would never even know what you might have said. The turning point was when he said, 'you either say something and maybe get rejected, or say nothing and never even have a chance.'"
You think back to the "DTR" conversation you'd had with Yunho all that time ago -- how he'd taken your hands in his and asked you if friendship was all you saw in him. You remember how his hands shook, how it was one of the few times that you'd seen him unsmiling, and you'd realized that he was as terrified as you. Somehow, that made it so much easier to confess. "Remind me to thank Mingi later," you murmur, turning toward Yunho and snuggling into him.
"It was very wise of him," Yunho agrees. "But anyway. That conversation happened a year ago today, so I wanted to celebrate." He squeezes you. "Go get the box."
Reluctantly, you untangle yourself from your boyfriend and grab the box from the counter, sitting down beside him. "Do I just open it?" you say, shaking it to see if you can hear anything from the box.
Yunho winces as you shake it. "Uh, my love," he says, his expression pained. "I don't think you should shake that."
"Why?" you ask, suddenly worried. "Was it a kitten or something?"
Yunho laughs. "No," he says. "But it shouldn't be shaken. Just open it and you'll see."
So you open it. Inside is a small cake with very smeared frosting. You can tell what it used to say, though: "Happy Mingi Day." And you're laughing.
"I was thinking we could do something nice for Mingi every year on this day," Yunho muses, taking in the mess you've made inside the box. "Should we take him his favorite snacks?"
"Of course. But we should make a pact never to explain why we're so nice to him this one day out of the year," you muse. "It'll be hilarious if he never knows why."
Yunho beams. "I love you," he says, squishing you in a huge hug with his big sweater.
"I love you more," you say. Then suddenly you realize something.
"So it actually still took you three weeks to talk to me after you had the conversation with Mingi?!"
"Water under the bridge, honey."

ok but Really Ava! Your actual Prime! When you were the strongest, how about that? Come on! We gotta see!! :3
". . . Fascinating, truly marvelous. So you are those. . . voices from within the void. The way you speak is always different within screams We can no matter understand. You fascinate me little thing. . . This date holds importance to many, but for Us it's . . . horrifying" "October 14th 8̷̛͙̟͖̳̗̞̖̤̱̽̃̾͗̀͗͂̔̋͝5̵̛̟̩̤̠̺̮̤̊̑̿5̴̡̢͎̙͕͇̫̦͙̌ We held his body within our still arms, within every second we heard this so adoring heart quiet down and stop. He didn't deserve it. We were terrified, as we cried, what was left for us if he was gone? He was our anchor to humanity after all that happened. Why can't they understand it hurts? It hurts, it always hurts. I look at those symbols remembering each and single one... Tracks, Nio, Bellamy... Shogun. Our dearest friends turned their back upon us once more as we cried out, called a monster for our reaction. For bloodshet comitted in pain. It was their fault... always their fault! . . . Unless it's me? And no matter what in this world I could give, it's not enough to get through the walls they've conjured up to live? Is this what they've felt... This suffering and pain because of someone's mistake, because world decided otherwise. Because I'm different than all other identical copies upon copies upon copies. By the standard I should be like all the rest. . . me and that thing you speak of are seperate, yet the same. We suffered, the small one will suffer, we will all suffer in the end and called Monsters, all because we hurt." "Is this what you've wanted to hear? Simple drop of information? To understand what we are? You take this as a game don't you? A silly little game with characters that don't exist. I'm aware of you, I'm aware of stories where we never existed, ones where we were somewhere entirely different. All together or seperated, nothing matters... Nothing will ever matter..."
((Pose for this was inspired from a drawing by @rykundsz-art , specifically this post:
thank you for this inspiration. To whoever actually bothered to try and put the pieces together, I hope you're satisfied with what you did. Because interracting with people that follow my blog is the best birthday gift I could have had. October 14th, 2024, happy birthday to me and whoever shares this celebration. I love you all.))

I have the useless talent of being able to listen to any song and immediately make a story out of it for whatever my current interest is. This means I'm constantly overflowing with ideas and almost all of them make no sense and aren't even good but I can't get them out of my head, so i recently (like 2 minutes ago) decided it would be a good idea to share my ideas
This one is based on 18 by anarbor
Basically they're regular people and miles, who turned 18 like 2-3 months ago, got into a huge fight with his parents that ended in him storming out and taking his dad's police car because he can. He goes to Hobie, who is 19 and has his own place, and he starts telling him about everything that happened with him and his parents.
Hobie might make a joke saying miles should move in with him and this whole bit happens about them jokingly making plans to move in together. Halfway through it miles will say something along the line of "my parents would be pissed if I did move in with you specifically, I think the only thing they would hate more is if we were dating"
Miles then takes a second to think and actually asks Hobie to be his boyfriend, he's 100% genuine and hes liked Hobie pretty much since they met. Hobie, who hasn't fallen for miles yet, agrees to date miles but doesn't take it seriously. He thinks of it as being miles rebellious phase and doesn't think miles actually likes him, the only reason he agrees is because he thinks if he doesn't say yes miles will go find some other person his parents would disapprove of to date, that and he doesn't mind 'dating' miles for a bit just to see him rebel against his parents.
Now miles is over the moon thinking Hobie likes him back and acts like a boyfriend does, taking him on dates, buying him gifts, being more affectionate and so on. Hobie enjoys it, he doesn't quite get why miles would go out of his way to act like a couple all the time but he plays along because he likes spending time with miles and getting free food and gifts.
Soon Hobie finds himself looking forward to their dates, of course he was always happy to spend time with miles, but now it's become the only thing he can think about once they decide on having the date. He finds himself treasuring every gift he receives from miles and feels all giddy when he sees one of the gifts laying around his home. He finds himself loving that he gets more attention and affection from miles than anyone else in their friend group does. Hobie finds he is falling in love with miles.
Hobie let's himself fall, coincidentally forgetting he thinks their whole relationship is miles rebelling from his parents. Until he remembers when they're on a date and some random person asks how they got together.
Hobie obviously is really sad about it. Here he is thinking of miles like his real boyfriend but miles doesn't think of him that way (that he knows of anyways)
Hobie chooses not to do anything about it though. He chooses to pretend what they have is real and it's just making him more miserable as they go on dates and miles is so sweet to him but doesn't like Hobie back.
Eventually Hobie had to break up with miles for his own mental health, also the fact that miles had noticed he had been upset and Hobie felt bad about making him worry.
It could end like that, they break up for good and both are miserable. Hobie thinking miles could never like him back and being sad about every single moment with miles that meant so much to him but nothing to miles. Miles thinking Hobie didn't like him anymore and maybe never liked him that much to begin with since Miles had been the only one to initiate anything romantic for so long and just as Hobie began to initiate romantic things he began being more distant until they broke up.
They wouldn't talk anymore after the breakup up and one day Hobie is on a walk and as he's thinking about miles he ends up walking by Miles parents home. He sees Miles moving boxes to a car and quickly realizes miles is moving out. Miles notices him and they hold about 3 seconds of eye contact before Hobie looks away and begins to speed walk home. It leaves a bitter taste in their mouths as they both remember how they had planned moving in together the day they started dating.
Orr Pav, Gwen, Margo, noir, peter and everyone else whos there to see the mess that they both are after the breakup convince them to talk it out (convince doesn't necessarily mean getting them to willingly talk to each other, it could also mean they split into groups of two and each group tells one of them they're gonna hang out amd then they go to the same place to hang out by 'accident' and then they leave the two of them together to talk it out)
They start dating again, miles makes sure Hobie knows he actually likes him and Hobie makes sure to initiate romantic stuff so both of them can be sure the relationship isn't one sided
They also move in together at some point and they're so smiley and happy and it's great. They smile the whole day while they talk fondly about how they had jokingly said they would move in together and now it was really happening :))
I feel the need to add that the reason the part of miles recently turning 18 is relevant is because I imagine a part where Hobie says "barely turned 18 and you're already trying to be an adult and move out" maybe not that exactly but something along those lines when they're joking about miles moving in with them
As I was writing the end I did come up with two ideas that are basically the same thing and make the fact miles had just turned 18 relevant
They broke up a month or so before miles birthday, so for miles birthday they aren't together anymore. When they get back together miles is 19 and they have a fluffy moment of talking and saying they left 18 behind as in they've moved on and healed their relationship.
Other idea is the exact same thing except they broke up like 4-5 months before miles birthday and then got together again before miles birthday and they have a party and this time it's them and their friend group talking about leaving 18 behind
I like the 1st one cause it means they were in a relationship for a while before the angst and it leaves a lot more room for Hobie to fall in love
But at the same time I like the second one cause it includes everyone else and not just Hobie and miles

Quest For Glory III: Wages of War | Part 1
The Adventurer's Log
Release Date: 1992
We saved Spielburg and we saved Shapeir. Now it's time to move to a new place in a game that wasn't originally supposed to exist, but they weren't ready for what they wanted to do in IV yet, so here go: Quest for Glory III time. What fate will befall Cinder Win this time? It's VGA graphics and point and click interface time.
Once again, not a blind play as I've watched it played, but anything wizard-specific will be new to me and I don't remember how to do everything.
Starting up I imported my character and had the option to be a Paladin thanks to my actions in 2, or stay a Wizard. After dithering I decided to stay a pure Wizard; that just stays closer to what I envision for Cinder. He is a Wizard dammit. Sorry, Rakeesh.
So these were my stats from last game:
Look at this fancy character sheet.
And after spending my available 50 points:
It opened up in Aziza's chamber. She summoned me and Rakeesh to see her.
She rehashed the end of the last game.
Slightly incorrectly I might add. I did not bounce my spell off the wall. I just moved around to a good angle to knock the brazier over. And where's the statue, huh? Anyway I got to see Ad Avis fall again and this time he got the Graham falling scream from King's Quest V, so that was quite something.
When Ad Avis died his magic was unleashed which meant she and other magic users could feel it and know the moment of his death. However, I guess things can never be simple because no one could find his body, and if there's one thing to learn from various media it's that a missing body is never a good thing. Even she couldn't determine who or what removed his body with her spells. The unleashing of his power might have darker results.
In the meantime she received a message from Rakeesh's partner, the Sorceress Kreesha, in Tarna in...Fricana. We're going African theming this time. There was talk of war there and she believed only Rakeesh could bring peace now. She thinks there's more to this and that a Demon has broken into the land and does what any demon does, and seeks to destroy them all.
In three days there'll be a portal to take us there.
So, three days later it was time to gather in the Sultan's palace where he saw me, Rakeesh and Uhura who wants to go home too, off.
And he had a gift for me from Keapon Laffin! My gnome friend!
Then a hug which was sweet.
I'm a sap, I'm a sap.
Then we arrived in Tarna where we were met by Kreesha. Uhura headed out. So some introductory stuff and a warning:
Booo, when can I use magic safely in a town dammit.
I needed some time to explore and adjust to the new interface though it is very similar to King's Quest V and VI. And I had to check out Keapon's lovely wrapped gift!
Sure did explode in my face.
I was left with the wrapping paper... "The wrapping paper is all that remains of Keapon Laffin's gift. He certainly has a strange sense of humor." Maybe that'll have a use. Silly gnome.
As for the rest of my inventory: I had 200 dinars and some of my inventory carried over: the sapphire pin from the Katta, my pills, a waterskin, and my dagger. I had a note from Shema to deliver to Shallah. I had some Spim which is rations. I'm pretty sure the reward for saving the Emir was supposed to be 1000 dinars though. Hmph, where's the rest of my money? Actually I do wonder how long our hero got to stay in Shapeir between QFG 2 and 3.
I had to start doing all the looking around.
Then it was time to chat with Rakeesh and Kreesha (their names are anagrams of each other...). You can also do the talk icon on yourself to greet and tell about stuff. But talking pulls up a dialogue tree of options.
The city and land around it is called Tarna and ruled by the Liontaurs. Uhura and her baby boy, Simba, have returned to her home, the Simbani village and we'll be going there in a few days to learn more about the war between the Simbani and the Leopardmen. In two days Rakeesh wants me to come with him to the Council of Judgement to attempt speaking to them of peace.
Rakeesh and Kreesha are lifemates. Kreesha is the magic council member in the Council of Judgement. Rakeesh's brother Rajah, is the King of Tarna and he's pretty hot-headed.
I could ask her about magic too and she said could teach me a spell that would allow me to channel my energy...! But not yet.
In the meantime it was time to explore Tarna, and leave Rakeesh and Kreesha to have some alone time together. Kreesha also had a room reserved for me at the inn.
Here, there's the King's Chambers up the stairs and on this level, the Apothecary and the Inn.
I went to the Apothecary first...
His name is Salim. Before I talked to him I had to look around as always.
That was the main highlight.
I tried the use icon on him:
Then I talked to this groovy...guy...radical, maaan. Just trying to get his vibe across here. So, it is the Apothecary, but he calls it Salim's Holistic Health and Happiness Eclectic Energy Emporium. He carries crystals and promotes peace and pyramid power...
He can't sell healing pills right now though. He needs the feather of a honey bird which I have to get non-violently or it won't work. That's one quest to add to the to-do list I suppose.
I could also ask about potions and lo and behold what should come up but a Dispel Potion. He was, of course, missing some ingredients: water from the Pool of Peace, a gift from the Heart of the World, and the fruit of a venomous vine. I guess Dispel Potions are just a tradition and staple of the series but they're made differently everywhere. Regional recipes I guess.
I could ask him about each, and in regards to the fruit of the venomous vine, got the best thing he's said yet:
One of the conversation topics was plants which led him to talking about a dream he had of being in a desert place and he was dancing with this tree when it changed. Suddenly the tree was like a woman and beautiful and it was magical. That gave me the option tell him about Julanar and how I'd helped her regain some hope. He was thrilled; the girl of his dreams was real! He planned to leave for Shapeir on the next caravan.
I... can't say he'd be my first choice to send to her, but hopefully for her sake it somehow works out? Whether or not anything further comes of it, the continuity is nice at any rate.
I tried to make a purchase just to see my options, but I needed to change my money first.
I popped by the inn just to see it for now.
Welcome Inn...
There was a bulletin board that had The Laws of Tarna:
Thou shalt harm none Thou shalt not use magic upon the streets of Tarna (booo and it won't even let me try) Thou shalt not take that which is not thine Thou shalt behave with honor
I also found...
A silly clown!
I chatted with the welcome woman, whose name turned out to be Janna Jamil, and learned that before I came the rulers of Tarna had sent out a party of diplomats to the Leopardmen, but only one person returned, Kharib, and he's not well now.
Kreesha's paying for my room, but I have to pay for meals... once I have the right currency. For now it just got added to my room charge. Thanks Kreesha!
It was time to poke into the bazaar.
Good ol' traditional moose head.
We've got a honey seller.
I could also ask about the honey bird. The bird gets people to follow it to a hive and then waits for the person to take honey from it and leave some for the bird. Maybe if I bought honey I could just use that as a lure to get a feather? I needed the right money though. There was also a rumour that Leopardmen are killing the Simbani people.
There was an oil salesman selling virgin olive oil. There was a rumour that the king of Tarna wants them to go to war in order drive all the humans away from city forever. A lot of liontaurs still don't get on with humans, but I don't think that particular rumour is exactly true. Or at least if the war was to be against the leopardmen that wouldn't be against the humans here.
Carrying on to the Junk salesmen, who are straight up a reference to Sanford and Son, which is a sitcom I'm not really familiar with, but looking it up, yeah that's basically just them.
There was a very enthusiastic weapon seller who tried to advertise his wares when I got close without my even talking to him. I didn't need weapons right now though.
I headed into the next area and ran into an altercation.
I chased after him into the next screen where a guard caught him and took us both to the Hall of Judgement.
The Council determined the thief, Harami, broke the laws and showed himself without honor. He was just scornful and then named honorless and sent away.
I was thanked for aiding the guards and was sent with Rakeesh to see the king, Rajah Sah Tarna.
I cannot for the life me figure out what's going on withe liontaur lady on the right. You can see where the other has her leg bent but this one is like serpent liontaur. Very strange. Anyway.
Rajah was very prickly and unimpressed with me. "Kreesha is the magic user of this land. Do you think you can out-enchant her?" And he was not too happy with Rakeesh either.
Rakeesh's daughter, Reeshaka, had led the peace mission that only had one survivor, so she's presumed dead. Rakeesh pointed out they still don't know exactly what happened and doesn't want to start a war and take more lives over this. I had the opportunity to defend Rakeesh. Rajah continued to not be particularly impressed, and I was told to leave them to their discussions.
Reeshaka would be Rajah's niece so he certainly has the right to be angry. He was still being a dick though. And war mongering isn't gonna help things.
But, there was nothing more for me to do there, so it was back out to continue exploring the bazaar. So, while my day is dwindling away next time it's time to get money changed and if there's time go shopping. Otherwise, bed time then shopping. Shopping will happen.

Speaking of Christmas, I’ve been in the holiday mood because, as I mentioned, me and my firehouse sell Christmas trees each year. So tonight while the Christmas music was bumping and we had some downtime between customers I wrote up some holiday HCs for Jackie/Shauna that I had off the top of my head.
- Jackie is the type of girl to start celebrating Christmas the day after (American) thanksgiving, blasting holiday music throughout the house, whereas Shauna will scream back at her “IT’S LEGITIMATELY STILL NOVEMBER, TURN IT OFF”
- Jackie absolutely has a checklist of things that she makes you all to do so she can have a good holiday. Baking cookies, decorating a gingerbread house, watching specific nostalgic Christmas movies and TV show episodes etc. Shauna will only barely tolerate this because it makes Jackie WILDLY happy.
- Jackie hangs mistletoe up around the house, and will run to meet you or Shauna under it when you’re passing by.
- Holidays aside the only thing that really makes Shauna happy during this time is when you guys take a walk while it’s snowing. She loves watching the snow come down and the relaxed down time with you because you don’t put as much of an emphasis on every moment leading up to the holiday as Jackie does. But you will always agree because seeing Shauna with a bunch of snowflakes caught in her eyelashes and hair makes your heart stop.
- Ms. Jackie Taylor CANNOT cook for the life of her, leaving the holiday dinner up to you and Shauna. Jackie decides to occupy her time with decorating because she was asked to leave the kitchen when something burned because she was left in charge to watch the stove while you and Shauna were trying to wash dishes and she’s j sat on the table texting while smoke billows out of the pot. When you and Shauna finally emerge from the kitchen you see the house is decorated so well it’s like the set of a hallmark movie and Jackie is just sat on the couch nonchalantly waiting for you both.
- Jackie will try to convince you and Shauna to take one of those “matching pajama, family pictures” to send out for holiday cards. Jackie is able to say very little of her plan however, before Shauna shuts her down.
- The holidays are probably really draining for Shauna as she has to split her time between her mom and dad, so she needs a lot more quiet time with you or Jackie. Just laying in bed, lights off, cuddled up to each other where no one talks, possibly watching a holiday movie.
- Shauna has to talk Jackie out of buying every holiday candle scent cause she can’t decide between “Walk in the Snow”, “Christmas Cookie”, or “Pine Wood Forest”
- On Christmas morning Jackie will act like an excited child, waking you and Shauna up at the ass crack of dawn because she’s so excited to give you both your gifts.
- Shauna I can see as a very sentimental gift giver without even knowing what she’s doing. Will give you like a book with information about all the dates you guys had been on with pictures, movie tickets, drawings etc and will be clueless as to why you burst into tears and hugged her.
- Jackie will get you very thoughtful gifts but they’re definitely more, materialistic things. Don’t get me wrong, by no means is it just any expensive thing she thinks you’ll like, she 100% clocked that you wanted something in like April and remembers to get it for you.
Sorry for flooding your inbox with Headcannons of these two, I have JackieShauna brainrot atm. Hope you’re doing well pookie, love ya <3
doesn't everyone start their christmas celebrations the day after american thanksgiving? thats when we always put up christmas lights and stuff. its when they start playing christmas music and shit i think shaunas just a hater on this one lmao
oh god jackie would want to fully celebrate every holiday im with shauna the hater on this one fr.
jackie purposely puts it up in your favorite areas of the house so she can kiss you and you're like "but you could just kiss me anyways?" and she'd just blush and shake her head
shauna loves that it gets dark so early during the holidays fr. she enjoys staring out the window as the snow comes down all broody and shit. i love being shaunas holiday escape omg that's so good. shauna looked so pretty in the snow scenes i cant imagine what she'd look like actually happy in the snow lmaooo
jackie burned water once but she runs the gingerbread house decorating like the navy. shes playing the sims with that icing bag fr fr. you walk out of the kitchen to see jackie standing on like a step ladder on top of a chair trying to put decorations up and both you and shauna are like "!!!!! jackie plssss"
jackie buys shauna the pjs and tells her they're for her. shauna reluctantly wears them and is like "oh hell no" when she sees you both wearing them and tries to run upstairs. yall get the picture but both you and jackie had to wrestle shauna to the ground. the pic is like you with your arm around shaunas neck while jackies pinning her legs down and strewn across her lap. you're both smiling but shauna looks fucking deadly. it's your favorite picture of shauna and you make it your pfp for months.
ugh jackie's ass would burn sugar cookie and pine forest at the same time and make the entire house smell awful. jackie walks in the living room to see you and shauna on the floor gagging while holding the blanket over your noses.
i absolutely do think jackie buys you super sentimental and meaningful gifts that show how well she knows you. shauna is so an experience/sentimental gift giver. she gets you tickets to do something you'd like with her or makes you super sentimental gifts for sure. i love the idea of shauna giving you like little poems shes written about you over the year.
absolutely flood my inbox bro i love talking jackieshauna. i'm doing very well, thank you!

I thought the paper blind date thing was really cool!!! Am I allowed to ask who the other options for the date were or is that a secret? It was really cool though!!! Love seeing papercut
BSHJFFDF!!! thank you!!!!!!!! i worked really hard on it and i'm really happy people enjoyed it!!!!
I thought of keeping the other options a secret forever buuuttt i might as well reveal them, there's no harm after all.
and since i was gonna make a post about how stuff was thought out for it, i'm gonna ramble on that too. if you just want to know who the options were just scroll and see the images, they have their little icons.
Every option in the blind date would influence how the date goes based on the final chosen partner.
And if you guys somehow were able to vote two options and the correct secret partner assigned to it, the comic would end with them kissing! Aaand sadly, this is why it didn't end with Paper and Knife kissing:
You guys happened to get only one option right which was the teddy bear for Knife. I hc him as having a toys/plushy collection so it was the perfect gift. Of course, he still enjoyed the date! In the end he was able to get back on good terms with Paper! though a second date won't be coming soon...
NOW... WHO WERE THE OTHER TWO? i made my choices specifically for rarepairs (though idk if i should consider papercut a rarepair?)
AND SO... the second option (Someone He's Spoken To Today) waaass.....
PAINTBRUSH! If you remember, besides the voters and whoever picked up the phone to make the reservation, PAINTBRUSH was the only person we know that Paper has spoken to during the blind date day!!!
AND I REEAAALLY WANTED THEM TO WIN BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO PICK THE TWO OPTIONSSS THAT WOULD'VE ENDED THEM KISSINGNGG AAGHHGHH but it's fine,, it's okay,,,, i i can live like this <:3
You might be asking... why Paintbrush? WELL. IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE A THEORY
A THEORY THAT ANY SHIP (seriously. any) WHERE PAINTBRUSH IS INVOLVED is gonna look good no matter what. LIKE... THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT PAIRING DOES PAINTBRUSH NOT LOOK GOOD WITH? HECK EVEN AIRY AND PAINTBRUSH COULD WORK??? I'VE SEEN ART OF IT
IT'S CRAZY OUT HERE,, okay-
AND FINALLY, the third and final option (Someone New) was...
MICROPHONE!!! Which,, would've been interesting but, most of her options ended being the lowest voted so
and like, weird option right? why did i pick her???
welllll because when i was searching for rarepairs i found a SINGLE FANART. A SINGLE SHIP FANART OF MICROPHONE AND PAPER. and i just had to pick her
I saw it on google images, i don't have twitter. but the fanart was made by sh0ecrust and it hasn't left my head since.
i decided to make this and planned EVERYTHING in a day.
hope to make more interactive stuff for the paper everyday blog in the future but for now,, i'mma take a little break from that
okay rambling is over thank you for asking this :3

Chocolate Cake And Blood Wine: Chapter 1
A Lady D x OC
Living in the village was difficult.
As children we were all taught by a few village elders who had seen many examples of Mother Miranda and her 'gifts' but also punishments to those who did not follow her. We were split into girls and boys up until our 12 year of education where we were sent to marry or work, the boys were taught to farm and support their family. While us girls were taught how to cook, clean and how to look after their future children. All the while we were told that children were to be seen and not heard.
At the end of every learning day we would be brought together to pray and offer gifts to Mother Miranda despite the fact that the majority of us had never seen the deity ourselves. The woman had only ever shown her face during festivals or the birthdays of the 4 lords (except the Lord Moreau because the smell he brought with him was far too much for anyone but the lords to bare.)
I remember one of Lady Dimitrescus birthdays in particular, although I cannot specifically remember her age, where the weather had been incredibly walm and so her daughter's could come to the village as well. I was only 7 at the time but I remember quite clearly that while Mother Miranda was, loudly, chastising the lady for being late for her own birthday I ran away from my mother.
"Andrea!" I can hear mother hiss at me as I run toward the cake stall. She'll never catch me though I'm far to fast for those silly heels she wears. She's so stupid- she says a proper lady does not run. Lucky for me I'm not a lady yet.
I slip through the gaps between villagers and I can almost taste the cake when I turn back to check if mother has decided to follow me and-
"OWWWWWW" a high pitched voice wines, I've tripped and taken someone down with me… a triumph! I clamber to my knees to see who I had knocked over; 'maybe it's Oliver he always wines like a baby'. Although I'm slightly disappointed to find a strange mess of ginger hair and golden eyes staring up at me from the floor.
The people around us begin to get louder and briskly walk away towards the platform that holds the lords as me and this… I don't acctualy know what it is, stare at each other.
"I've never seen golden eyes before" I whisper as I mean into her face and stare her in the eyes, some people would think it's weird but I just want to know how I can get pretty good eyes like this… thing. "Why are they that colour? What are you because I read all about eye colors and no one has golden ones! Oh my goodness are you a fairy? One of the library books said fairy have golden eyes! But where are your wings? Are you pretending to be a fairy?!"
Although I expected it to admit to being a fairy or a fairy impersonator instead it starts giggling and kicks it's legs a bit. That's so rude! I bet if I told this things mother about how it laughed at me it would get told off so bad!
"Your not supposed to giggle! Stupid fairy-thing!" The thing just put it's hand over it's mouth for a moment before seeming to calm down. It took it's hand off it's mouth but still held a bewildered smile as it studied me with its, very pretty, gold eyes.
"Sorry tiny maiden, I didn't mean to laugh at you. But you're very funny" it then sits up on it's knees as well and now is taller then me,I don't like that at all. I stand and cross my arms over my chest as I glare at the laughing fairy thing. " And I'm not a fairy, I am a regular little human like you!" Well I find that incredibly hard to believe!
"No you can't be. humans can't have golden eyes because if they did I would have gotten some for myself." Speaking of getting something for myself I look over it's shoulder at the now deserted cake stall the chocolate cake look so amazing! "Anyway you better go fairy thing because I've got a date with that chocolate cake over there!" I March past it and don't turn around to see what it does as I approach the holy sweetness that is chocolate cake.
I come to find however, that the cake man has put a glass cover over the cake. Stupid! I can't move the glass, I'll drop it and then I'll cut myself and then I'll bleed out and die and it will all be because of the silly man who decided to hide his cakes behind glass! I kick the side of the stall and huff as angry tears gather in my eyes.
This is completely unfair.
I feel a gloved hand on my shoulder and shrug it off as I huff again. " do you need help tiny maiden?" The same high pitched fairy voice questions. "I can use my magical fairy powers if you'd Like?" That instantly stops me from crying as I who around and face her with a big grin.
"I knew it!- I won't tell anyone don't worry! I'll even share my cake with you if you help me!" the fairy laughed slightly before pulling the glove off her hand in front of her face.
Suddenly her hand flew away and became lots of tiny bugs! My mouth opened as wide as it could but snapped shut quickly as I diddnt want to catch any of the fairy fly friends. The fairy looked up to the cake and narrowed her eyes like she was concentrating as I turned to watch the flys as well. All of the fly surrounded the bottom of the glass cover and slowly lifted it up off the table and next to it on the empty part of the stool.
The fly drifted back to her hand and became her hand again. Silence insured as she put her leather glove back on and stared at me waiting for my reaction, almost nervously.
"HOLY-" She covered my mouth with the hand that turned into fly and smiled widely using the other hand to being a finger to her lips telling me to be quiet. Normally I don't listen to people but I kinda owe this fairy for getting me the cake.
She removed her hand from my mouth and lowered her other back to her side as she leaned down to my level. "We've gotta be quiet tiny maiden, my mother has very good hearing and she might think something's going on if she hears shouting" This just raises even more questions that my tiny brain can't comprehend.
Instead of telling the fairy that I don't care if her mother can hear me, I just nod slowly and whisper "would you like some chocolate cake fairy?" She pushes her lips together and furrows her eyebrows a bit.
"Fairys can't eat chocolate tiny maiden." What can I give her in return now? I only have a chocolate cake to give her. "But don't worry I have an idea! How about you promise to be my friend forever instead?!" She was far to exited about that idea for my liking.
"I'm not so sure fairy" she looked quite upset now " forever is a very long time, I might have to check with my mother if that's alright first- oh but I can't I promised I wouldn't tell anyone! Oh no what-" she giggled softly breaking my speech.
"Don't over think it tiny maiden. How about we tell each other our names first! That's what friends do isn't it?" I stare blankly at her because don't really have many friends unless you count my chocolate cake, but I'm about to eat that and I don't think you're supposed to eat your friends. "Well my books say that they do so lets do that" she holds out her hand sideways down to me and straightens her back. "Hello human child, my name is Daniela and I would like to be your friend" after a moment of silence she waves her hand up and down a bit and tells me "now you have to do it back".
I sigh and she smiles as I place my hand in hers "hello Daniela , my name is Andrea and i accept your offer of being friends" I shake her hand slightly and smile a bit up at her. She grins at me and shakes my hand with much more enthusieasum, but then goes still and turns her head to the side.
She groans and looks down at me with a small smile still on her face "sorry tiny- Andrea but I need to go my sister is calling for me, can you get home by yourself or do you need to be at the celebration?" To be honest I think my mother will have given up on me by now so I just turn around and carefully take the chocolate cake in my arms before turning back to her But looking at my chocolate cake, mouth watering.
"No, should be ok I know my way back thank you Daniela" as I look up I see she is no longer standing in front of me- in fact she's nowhere around me when I turn my head. But I'm not worried because I have my delicious cake baby to eat, so I skip home to devour my stolen good.
I look back on that memory now and think how lucky I had been. Since I was taken up to the castle to work I have been told of Lady Danielas various mood swings. Although I probably shouldn't take the other girl's words for the truth, most of the maids are so scared that they make up ridiculous stories (like how lady dimitrescu supposedly sleeps hanging from the ceiling like a bat).
I have been working here for only a month and a half which is apparently the expectancy for most of us, according to Ioana who's been working here almost 30 years. She's about the only one who's nice to me apart from the wood chopping guy but he is never allowed inside- under penalty of death. So I don't get to talk to him much unless I'm picking something up from him, he does buy things I need from the duke from time to time which Is very much appreciated.
The Ladies themselves haven't really caused me any harm yet. I think the closest I got was when I was about to enter lady Cassandra's bedroom to rekindle the fire and another girl who had been cleaning ran out with half her face practically scratched off.
That was in my first week. After that I was pretty sure the head maid didn't like me because the other new girls did menial tasks or stayed out of sight of the ladies until their first month was over (while I was sent headfirst into Lady Cassandra's bedroom). This incident also made me become extra fearful to avoid being seen by any of the ladies which, now I think of it, may be the cause of them never harming me; they simply don't know I exist.
Anyway, tomorow is the day I have the worst jobs on my schedule:
Breakfast 6:30-7
Polish banisters in main hall
Change bedsheets in lady Bella's bedroom
Lunch 11:30-12:30
Clean maids bathrooms
Help prepare ladies dinner
Dinner 6-7
Curfew 7
It's never too difficult, the time management is the worst part. Most of the time I end up missing the majority of lunch because the banisters in the main hall never look quite clean enough, but that's fine I just have more food at dinner.
Tomorow will go as well as any other Wednesday has, I'm sure of it.

EVERY VALETINE'S ONWARDS
feat. ! soukoku/double black
Chuuya walks with a spring in his step, with a hint of a smile plastered on his lips, a bouquet of flowers under his arm. Unlike most days, he decides not to take a taxi back to his apartment. Walking seemed like the better option to him, probably due to his good mood.
As he made his way through the busy streets of Yokohama, he notices a vast majority of people who also seemed like they were in a better mood than most days. After all, it was Valentine’s day.
Ah, Valentine's day. The day for lovers to express their affections through the act of gifting chocolate or flowers.
It was not as if Chuuya had waited day and night for this day to come, since he's been single for almost his entire life (he hopes it will not stay this way for long). With this in mind, imagine his surprise when a bouquet of roses was shoved into his face the moment he entered his office this morning. Turns out, one of his subordinates had been harbouring a secret admiration (or was it infatuation? Chuuya couldn’t remember the specifics of what she said) towards him.
Hm, I should get some fine wine to savour tonight…, he thinks to himself, and his train of thought comes abruptly to a stop as he rounded a corner and spots a familiar silhouette.
Chuuya rubs his eyes once. Then twice. He pauses in his tracks. This has to be an illusion, because there’s no way in any universe that Dazai would buy flowers for someone on Valentine's Day.
Chuuya must've been gaping at him for a while, because Dazai turns to look at him and scowls.
Regaining his composure, Chuuya walks towards him, already coming up with ideas on who Dazai intends to give these flowers to. Maybe it was that brunette, with the blue eyes and charming demeanour? No… perhaps that blonde who had some strange obsession with alcohol, then?
“Chuuuuya!” Dazai gives him a sugar-sweet smile and it makes Chuuya want to wipe it off his face (by punching him, obviously).
“Getting flowers, I see,” Chuuya states, eyeing the combination of pink carnations and deep red roses.
“Didn’t you purchase a bouquet, too?” Dazai asks, gaze dropping down to the bouquet tucked safely under Chuuya’s arm.
“No, I received this,” Chuuya replies, pride dripping off his tone.
“Huh?! You got flowers, Chuuya?!”
“Hey! Don’t look so shocked, bastard!”
“All those years when we worked together, you never got flowers!”
“Well, not anymore,” Chuuya announces proudly, a hand on his hip.
Dazai thinks for a moment before replying. “Do you like them, then?”
“Huh, who?”
“The person who gave you flowers.”
Taken aback, he says “Huh, that never crossed my mind… Well, she’s pretty. Has a good fashion sense.”
“Would you date her, Chuuya?”
“Eeeehh, date her? Don’t know ‘bout that. Honestly, I’m just grateful for the flowers.”
A soft sigh escapes Dazai, and Chuuya almost fails to catch it.
“Oi, what are you sighing about?”
Dazai throws him a glance before looking away and letting out a laugh. “Nothing, just wondering if you plan to stay single for the rest of your life if this continues.”
“Of course not. It’s just…”
“Hmm?”
I can't imagine myself with anyone who's not you. Chuuya pushes that thought aside.
Chuuya stops to look at Dazai, before realising they’ve walked quite a distance. The sun has set and a blanket of darkness has enveloped the city. His stomach growls.
“Hungry, shorty?” Dazai asks teasingly.
Chuuya huffs, “Let’s go get some dinner.”
Any other day, Chuuya was a hundred percent sure Dazai would request to have some type of expensive steak or beef, but when Chuuya ask what he’d like to eat, all he got in response was a simple, “Oranges.”
“Normal people won’t have oranges for dinner.”
But Chuuya relented anyway, and bought some sandwiches along with four oranges from the mini-mart near them.
“Let’s go to Yokohama Port,” left Chuuya speechless; however, he trailed after Dazai anyway. This had been their dynamic the day their partnership began: Dazai led, Chuuya followed.
And although Chuuya was perfectly satisfied with crushing his enemies with gravity, a small voice in his head occasionally wishes to be the partner of the mastermind, helping Dazai improvise or work on his already elaborate schemes, not just his assistant who carries out the assassinations. Chuuya shuts this voice down most of the time, but some days it possesses his being, his head full of ‘what-ifs’.
They sit by the port side by side, the distinct and sweet smell of the orange filling the air as Dazai peels it open, splitting it into half. He pops one half into his mouth and offers the other to Chuuya.
Chuuya’s gaze travels from the orange to Dazai, who waits for him to accept it. Hesitantly, he picks it up from Dazai’s outstretched hand, their fingers brushing each other's for a moment. A jolt of electricity prickles Chuuya's skin as he mutters a soft, "Thanks."
The ocean is tranquil. The waves crash against sandy shores, only to recede and come back even stronger. A few ships are docked into the port, large crates of cargo stacked atop each other like building blocks.
“Are you going to tell me why you didn’t want to eat at some five-star restaurant yet?” Chuuya says, reaching for the second orange.
Dazai’s eyes are shut. His hair sways in the direction of the wind, and if he was a total stranger to Chuuya, he might’ve looked like a calm and ordinary civilian of the city.
Chuuya silently thought to himself that he would choose the Dazai he knew over a stranger any day, but he quickly got rid of that thought, discarding it like dandelion seeds in the wind, never to be seen again.
“No restaurants around here serve oranges for dinner.”
Chuuya tilts his head slightly to the left, his confusion visible.
Dazai meets Chuuya’s gaze, and Chuuya resents the fact that Dazai's eyes are clouded over by some unreadable emotion.
“Share an orange with me,” is all Dazai asks for. Chuuya is unable to pin down the exact reason why, but he does what is asked of him anyway.
He separates a single slice from the whole orange and hands it to Dazai.
“Stingy, are we now?”
Chuuya glares at him but his tone held mischievousness, “Don’t forget that I paid for this, bastard.”
Dazai throws him a smile. It's ninety nine percent insincere, with just maybe a sprinkle of gratitude hidden beneath the snarky surface.
“How does it taste?”
Dazai regards this question with a cocked eyebrow, and a smirk begins to form on his lips. Chuuya could practically see the wheels in Dazai's head working, slowly forming a new idea.
In one swift motion, he grabs Chuuya by the coat and pulls him close. So close that he can see a tint of red forming on Chuuya’s face.
“Only one way to find out.”
Chuuya doesn’t even get the chance to retort before he feels the sweet taste of the orange on his lips.
Dazai lets go of him, his smirk even wider than before. “Why so shocked, shorty? It is Valentine’s day, after all.”
“You haven’t kissed me since Christmas Eve.”
“Oh, you’ve been keeping track?” Dazai teases, never not amused by Chuuya getting annoyed with him.
“One day, I’ll kill you myself,” Chuuya replies.
Wordlessly, Dazai held out another slice of the orange to Chuuya. “Share this orange with me, Chuuya.”
Later, back in Chuuya’s apartment, Dazai places a bouquet of pink carnations and deep red roses into a vase. He smiles in satisfaction, before setting it down on the living room floor.
He pours himself a glass of water and sits on the sofa, eyes raking over every corner of Chuuya’s home. Someday, this might be his home too.
The clock strikes four. If memory serves him right, Chuuya got up at five on the dot. He had an hour. Dazai walked over to the shelf where there were more than thirty photo frames displayed.
Dazai found himself in a few of the photos, members of the Port Mafia took up the majority of them and one particular picture caught Dazai’s eye.
Yokohama Port had clearly been the main focus of the picture, but Dazai had photobombed probably at the very last minute, and it resulted in half of the port being covered by Dazai’s smiling face. He had his signature black coat on, which meant that this was taken back in their partnership days.
There was a timestamp on the bottom left of the photo, which read ‘14/2’. The very first Valentine’s they had spent together.
That day feels lightyears away. A lot has changed, so have Dazai and Chuuya. They’ll never be fifteen again and somehow, Dazai doesn’t feel any nostalgia for those simple days. He knows that his future Valentines’ will be filled with Chuuya, until the end of time.
And so it did.

The Situationship Guy Prayer
So 3 weeks ago I made a post about the situationship guy: How he came back into my life and I wasn't sure what would come of it, how of course he wanted to come over but I couldn't allow it because I knew it would hurt me.
I left out some vital information that I never want to forget and decided to write tonight: because something happened prior to us meeting that made me realize how my relationship with God never ceases to amaze me... How for a very long time I've spoken to God and have seen the signs of him listening. But today I decided I need to write this down to remember specifics. I'll share what happened:
The week before my date with situationship guy I said a very specific prayer. I spoke to God and said "God, if this man is not the one for me show me an orange car."
I spent the week walking around Brooklyn/Manhattan and not seeing anything. I started thinking well, I haven't seen the car so maybe it is meant to be. Maybe he came back into my life because it's the right time. Maybe this will become more than what it was before.
The day of the date I went into Manhattan to run some errands. I left the train station and as I walked up the street, I saw it. Driving in my direction was a bright orange car.
I was supposed to see him that night.
I knew I was meeting him later, I had my confirmation. I knew now... This guy is not the one.
Coincidence? I questioned it. Yes, I questioned God after seeing it knowing he waited until the day I was supposed to go on this date to show me an orange car.
I went on the date anyway. Situationship guy told me word for word he wasn't looking for something serious. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I even gave him grace when he didn't care to text me often, or at all. I allowed the inconsistency knowing it was bothering me.
I found myself falling into the same routine I fell in before:
Believing in the potential even though I knew it felt wrong, things weren't the same, I saw the orange car. Something wasn't right. A lot of things were not right.
We spoke on and off, he became distant and one day I decided to text him to ask if we were good. Something along the lines of "hey are we good, haven't really heard from you its been a few weeks"
He replied within a few hours: Yeah we're good how's your day going rah rah, he was picking up where we left off... Knowing the communication just wasn't consistent. Wasn't meeting my expectations. Yet here he was acting like everything was fine.
We dated. We weren't just two people that hooked up. A situationship means we had everything except the titles that come with a relationship. We had everything except the words I love you. But I knew what he was capable of: I knew he was capable of consistency. The bare minimum. Yet, for whatever reason... he wasn't giving me that.
I stared at the text for a while. I left my job in midtown to go on my lunch break and instantly stopped in my tracks.
Parked in front of the building was an orange car.
I never responded to the text. Part of me was spooked. Like, okay God I see it. I hear you. I could feel God saying:
Well, I told you twice. Do you need to see another one?
As much as I was scared, I was also hit with a feeling of awe. God was speaking to me in a way he used to, in a way where I knew deep down lately I wasn't hearing his voice anymore. I felt like I used see him working in my life all the time, especially when I first came to my faith. As I had gotten older I became not so sure. I was living my life wondering what God was trying to tell me. I was confused, I even went back to church thinking: I used to be so much more in tune with my spirit.
This nugget made me realize that maybe God has been trying to reach me but maybe I just haven't been trying to reach him.
A gift. A nod from the highest power.
I realized to pray "If he isn't the one..." is to mean maybe deep down I wasn't sure. God not only gave me confirmation but made me realize, to receive a head nod/signal is a gift.
And I could never take that lightly.
So I never replied to the text, I never will.
And, life goes on.

Happy 1st Anniversary
Sunset, Beach, Candlelit dinner, Fairy lights, I remember so vividly how I always dreamed of having this kind of date, but it was with a faceless person, I actually never see a specific person but I just knew in my heart that one day, it will happen. And then there's you and it feels like every dream that I've been dreaming of, I cannot think of anyone to fulfill it but with you. No matter how little or huge it may be, all I know is I just want it to be you.
We planned this date few days ago and I always look forward to this day, aside from of course, it is a celebration of 365 days of love, it is also a living proof that hope is still alive and dreams do come true.
We started the day with a full rest because we had a very good massage last night and we agreed not to plan anything today aside from the dinner at night, we had a wonderful breakfast and we slept, we had a little argument because some things didn't work out the way we planned but glad that we were able to solve it right away.
One of the highlights of the day was, weeks before this day, we are already monitoring the weather because September is rainy season in Krabi, Thailand, but of course we manifest and hope that it will be a good weather. For the last 2 days that we were here, the weather was really good, so we're kind of confident that the Sun is gonna do its thing to make it work for us. HAHAHA
But, at 3pm, heavy rains start to pour and we received a message from the staff of our dinner that since the weather is not good, they have to move us to the restaurant or pavilion. It was a bad news of course, honestly, I really feel bad because we really want this but I also need to feel okay cause I don't wanna ruin the day because of that and what really matters the most is we're here and I get to celebrate this day with you regardless of where we are and what we do as long as I'm with you, everything is gonna be okay.
So we went to Tubkaak, it's a known resort in Krabi for its prestige ambience and for its beach candle lit dinner setup. As we walk going to the pavilion, heavy drops are still falling from the dark skies but it wasn't pouring as scattered as it was an hour ago. The staff welcomed us, we noticed that they are still setting up the table in pavilion so we decided to walk around the beach, it was really beautiful, even though there's still a bit of a rain, the sun didn't hide itself as the darkness tries to consume all its lights.
As I watch the sunset slowly diminishing in the clouds towards the infinite ocean touching the sands on my feet, I stare at you in the most unobvious way, and I just saw everything in your eyes. I saw everything that I needed, everything that I wanted and every little thing that I prayed and hoped for and the only feeling that is consuming my soul is gratefulness, Yes, I am forever grateful for having you in this lifetime, in this world where you plan things and there are times that it didn't work your way but only to figure out that better plans are ahead of you.
Like how this day worked out for us, Just when the moon is about to shine and the sun was totally covered in darkness, the rain stops. The sand was dry and all the candles and fairy lights were lightened up and the brightness glares on your beautiful face and I was in full awe. The staff quickly setup the beach table like how we planned and It was so dazzlingly spectacular.
The dinner went so well, we had an exquisite dinner, we exchange gifts, we looked back on our first dates and conversations and how we started. We also reflect on the matters that kept us moving and ignite our union, it was a bewildering feeling that I get to do this with the right person, with the love of my life, with no one but you.
I look forward to many more anniversaries with you and of course we have to beat this one, but this will definitely one of my favorites. I love you so much My Love.
You have my heart until the universe meets its ends.

My First Date?
Okay so I was talking with Matt, my roommate for those of you who forgot, about when his anniversary was with his girlfriend. And he was saying it was like four days after valentine's day. And I was joking cuz we went to a basketball game together on Valentine's day, so obviously he couldn't do anything with her cuz he committed to hang out with me. I would understand if he was tryna do something else, but it wouldn't been really lame if he bailed. so yeah. I like to think that since they started seeing each other at the end of January this helped to prevent what could have been a precarious valentine's day (too early?) situation. But they're both pretty chill so I doubt that this plan had any effect or bearing on their relationship. Anyways, I'm getting a little side tracked here. So he was telling me about how their anniversary was a little after valentine's day, and I was referring to it as like the first date after valentine's day is when it was. And I guess we got caught up on the miscommunication about the date.
But the point I was trying to get at was like what event like triggered the anniversary to be on a specific day. It's not like a birth where it just happens at a time. There's probably points of fluctuation so it's should be grounded in like an event or whatever. I've never been in a relationship so I have no idea how this would be determined. In my own head, I always imagine it being like the first date you went on probably. Like you retroactively decide the date rather than it being in an event in the present. So you would consider you first date the anniversary, but you don't decide this until like 2-3 months when you feel established as in a relationship or something, again I didn't know. Matt said that was the day he asked Veronica to be his girlfriend. So like that anniversary is grounded in that specific day of asking to be like official I guess. Exclusive one could say. Then that started to make me think about my cousin Jalen. Because I remember when he was telling us a story about when he asked his girlfriend to be his girlfriend. Like that was a thing, an event. So that could probably be when their anniversary is, but I don't know. never have asked.
Here's a quick tangent I need to go on before continuing. In terms of gift giving, unless the person is incredibly materialistic, it really is the thought that counts. Like a gift where they've really put some thought into the gift and come to something that you can really appreciate (whether in actuality or just for the sentiment), that's just really nice to receive. To some degree it's about the gift, but for most people, the sentiment is what matters.
So when I was in eighth grade I had this friend, Maya. We were like in a little friend group, our parents at the least were in somewhat in a friend group. I don't really feel the need to get into relationship dynamics between me, families, and my K-8 in general; this is all to say the point is this. We were like good friends. And I guess Maya liked me because one time she sent me this risky ass text, which in hindsight was basically like a confession of having a crush on me or whatever. I definitely didn't understand what exactly this long text meant at the time or I could have had some sort of willful ignorance to it. Anyways, I was into a different girl at the time and would remain hung up on her and do nothing about it until I graduated. I also never responded to the text, which must have been a fucking awful ass move on my part. I am not going to get self-loathing reminiscing about this whole situation but yeah it was bad. We had a school dance, in which the last song I was dancing with Maya, and I was like shit this the last dance I gotta bounce and try and dance with the girl I was into at the time. That was definitely a dick move to her; I think I was still being oblivious to it, but that was probably a hit to her self-esteem. I also didn't dance with who I had a crush on so doubly stupid.
Okay so at this point I am in high school. I take the train home on my way back from high school. I pass by Maya high school to get there. In hindsight there was a better location to stop for us to meet, but being a stupid kid I didn't really think of this and so she would have to get dropped off to meet at the mall. I really had no sense of distance as a kid. So since we were like better friends in K-8, we still have contact and I guess I kinda bring up the risky text she sent. And yeah so if I think back on this now. My point in this was to fall back on her because I wasn't able to have any relationship. I didn't "talk to girls" in high school; sidenote: here's how autistic I am about that phrase being taken literal. It's not can you like talk to girls just in general; it's talking to girls with a romantic motive. So yeah, I can't talk to girls. So in high school I couldn't talk to girls. So I also struck out when I got peer pressured at a graduation party to ask out my crush. The way I did it was also just horrendous all around: execution, timing, dynamic. So basically I have brought back to my brain girl + old text = Maya? This was kinda lame on my part I can admit. It's like using her as a rebound without the being in a relationship at first myself thing. I'm not saying she was still interested, because looking back it's hard to recall if this was ever established as a date.
So we hung out at the mall together after school. It was around her birthday, but I didn't get her a present prior to meeting up. I'm honestly glad I got to a point where I let texts auto-delete because it's not healthy to have spent the time reliving the past for accuracy. I don't read back on texts for fun; at least, not in a long long while. Time is so finite and I like to try and use it. We ate panda express together at the food court first. I insisted on paying for her food. She was tryna to pay for herself, but I was pretty insistent on me paying. Then we sat down and ate and I was trying to convince her to download a one piece mobile game, also possibly in hopes of her picking up the anime. I don't watch and indulge in anime like I used to. It's more like spurts of binging. Netflix got me fucked introducing this sort of culture. Anyways, she didn't want the app but downloaded it just to amuse me I'm sure. We went looking around at the different shops and I asked her what she wanted for her birthday from hot topic. No thought into my gift because I straight up just had her pick out her own present. Then I don't know. We hung out, when I had to leave we hugged outside and I was running off to try and catch my train.
That night I was texting her and I asked, which present was better her best friend's or her boyfriend's? Yo she put a Full Stop to that. I wonder where I got this idea, but the truth is the lack of experience of ever talking with other people really made me have no idea. I naively thought that from first date to break up is when people are in a relationship (significant others, s/o, bf/gf, gf/gf, bf/bf, whatever). How my understanding has expanding since this moment ninth grade. This is to say I should have known his anniversary was probably just when he asked to be bf/gf. I'm honestly sorry for all the stupid grief I gave to Maya. We didn't talk for a bit after that, but I would see her when our parents would have a get together and stuff. We're cool now. We even live in the same city, thought we've not once hung out. But that's not something I care to much about. We're cool

"I think so. I mean they could also be told no." The thought made him chuckle at the husbands saying no to their wives. "No earth would happen though." The scoff was all too familiar but didn't say much just a small chuckle came. It had taken his entire willpower not to stare at her in the dress. Specifically made himself look anywhere but at her dress. It had accentuated her assets in a way that captivated him. He wasn't blind, she was beautiful but he wasn't a rabid dog in showing it. It was more the light she emitted that held his gaze. "You're hard to miss in that dress. But fair enough, that dress with heels only." He relented but couldn't really see the point of wearing the contraptions on their feet. "I tend to block out their voices when they go on their fashion tangents. I only pay attention when they keep me from making a faux pas out there. Mhmm that means you won't be coming to the library event?"
"I'll be calling you princess Liz." He shook his head and didn't like that so changed it. "Actually princess Lila." That sounded better to him. "I guess you'll have to revoke it then. I have never dated any one of them. It'd be weird and awkward. I've known most of them since I was in diapers. Three of them are married and five were neighbors. Two work with my brother in law and one just is painfully like her mother which means that she is only looking for more money to accumulate. And if you count the two that talked to you, well that will never happen. They're my father's little sisters." He was aware he should have said his aunts but that family wasn't family to him and never would be. "Besides none of them compare to the glow of your beauty. I mean that more than physically." He hummed as he elaborated a little more. "My family was different. My mom made it so. Naturally we were supposed to be married off to three of them by the time we were twenty but my mom never wanted us to lose our free will. My sister chose her wife and my other sister chose her husband. Free will is big in my family. Though when Melrose decided to marry Lena. That caused an uproar around these people. So much so that neither her or Lenny come to these unless it's one of ours." An eye roll followed her agent. "What if I'm different?"
Greasy made him laugh and nod in understanding. He knew just the place. He pulled up the directions on his phone and scrolled when he heard her speak. "Here drink some water." He passed her a random water bottle he had in the backseat remembering Annie put several in there just in case. Red caused his eyes to roll back but held his tongue. "To know if you're wife material and can carry their ten pounds babies." His voice was filled with annoyance as he let her know. "They measure women up and if they are hippy then they ask their shoe size to verify. It's dumb and stupid and I wish they wouldn't come but they're mansion boys which means they're allergic to work."
"He wishes. Just a classmate from school who's mother works with mine so we always see each other at these. Has a crush on my mom and always wants to fuck her. Thinks he's God's gift to mankind and doesn't really know everyone knows about his dads scandal. The lady in pink with the floppy hat inside isn't his wife. It's his fourth mistress." He rolled his eyes as he got into the car. "Dont get any ideas. I can barely stomach him." He turned up the AC and placed his hand on the shift gear as he looked over at her and undid his tie and shirt button. He wanted to breathe enough to not feel claustrophobic. 'Seat belt princess."
❝ Sure, sure. ❞ She let out a small giggle and an eye roll. ❝ Well, does it count then if they already have someone to carry them? ❞ A small scoff came to her, as if the answer was obvious and he was dumb for asking. ❝ Do you not see this dress? ❞ I would never dare pair this with flats. Did you never listen to your sisters when they were getting ready or absorb fashion from them through some sort of osmosis? Heels or nothing in a dress like this. The pain is worth it, I just haven't had a reason to wear heels in a while. This won't be a regular occurrence. ❞
Finding it highly unlikely that she was the exception to this, she chuckled. She couldn't be, not when she just saw some of the most beautiful people she had ever seen in dresses she knew were worth too much. He had to have at least picked one up in the past, and if not, that was a damn shame. ❝ I'm glad you finally realized that I am royalty, Elias. Don't forget it! ❞ She was more laid back then usual now, feeling relaxed from the drinks and merriment. ❝ But I might have to revoke it on principal alone if you truly have never picked up at least one of those beautiful princesses in there. If I was any of their type, I'd be picking them up. ❞ Quirking an eyebrow at his words she couldn't help but give him a hard time. ❝ Careful Agent, watching me when you should be watching other things might get you into too much trouble. You might end up seeing something you don't like. ❞
She did not envy him when he said there was another party he'd have to attend in a week. There was no way she could do these so often. ❝ Greasy! Nope, ❞ she shook her head with a sigh. The thoughts that usually coiled up tight and kept her closed off, were gone for now. ❝ Just light. ❞ At the question, she couldn't help but smile at the interaction. They were handsome and she couldn't help but be captivated by a pretty smile, she wasn't stupid though. They all thought themselves sly foxes thinking she was easy prey, not knowing she was the foxhound raised and trained to lure them into a false sense of security before they realized it was too late. ❝ Red. ❞ Was all she said, staring off to the side with a smirk, she had a thing for the color. She had it all planned out, scope the place out with Wally, leave her number behind, and then whatever happened, happened. It wasn't like she would see the man ever again. She didn't run these circles so that was a major plus to this all. ❝ No, but I asked his. Why would anyone want to know what size shoe I wear? ❞ She laughed at the ridiculous thought.
The interaction that played out in front of her, had her quirking an eyebrow. Curiosity filled at the words that were exchanged? Once the man had slanted off, she smirked? ❝ A friend of yours? ❞ Before tucking herself into the passenger seat. ❝ He's charming. ❞ Sarcasm dripping from every word.

cove and mc first date hcs? <3
(Thanks for sending this in!! This one was rlly cute, so I had a really fun time writing it!! you weren’t too specific, so i just kind of went with the flow lol (this also takes a little inspo from some of my personal experiences, but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless!) ~)
✿Cove and MC's first date headcanons ✿
«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»
Okay lemme just say
This boy is NERVOUS AS HELL when you decide to make it an official date instead of just hanging out.
But the day leading up to the date - he is a giddy, smiley mess. He is so so so excited.
No matter what you guys are actually doing for the date, he goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to prepare (tbh he would prob go above and beyond for every date you would go on, but more so for your first date)
He makes an effort to dress a little nicer than usual (but not like super formal like the soiree or the charity event), makes sure he’s all freshened up, maybe even wears a little cologne, and even makes sure there isn’t any sand or anything on him (even tho there probably still is)
He shows up at your door (or probably your window) and oh my god, that man looks STUNNING.
He probably also even brings you a little gift like flowers or something cute like that. This boy is very thoughtful.
Okay now onto the date itself.
I feel like you guys would do something different than what you normally do together when you're hanging out. So not hanging out at the hill or the beach or anything.
I feel like for your first date you would do something pretty classic tho like going out for dinner or seeing a movie together.
Cove definitely offers to pay for both (whether you let him or not is up to you lmao)
He probably also buys you a little something like he did when you were kids too.
Throughout the whole date, he has his classic little wobbly smile on his face. He’s shaking a little, but you can tell he’s genuinely really happy
He’s probably still processing the fact that you’re on a proper date with him LMAO
“ohmygodimonadatewithmcohmygodholycraphsakdkvsgkbskdv”
Probably trying his best to rack up the courage to even ASK to hold your hand
He keeps glancing at your hands, and then back at his.
If you hold his first, he’s a little shocked and is a bit tense at first, but he eases into it.
And don't even get me started on kissing.
He probably DOES want to kiss you, but is just kind of internally freaking out about it
Probably thinking stuff like:
‘Wow, MC looks really nice. i really wanna kiss them. Is it too early for that? It’s only our first date. How do i know if they’re comfortable or if they WANT to kiss? C’mon cove you should ask them. Wait *should* I ask them? Would that be weird? Hhhhhh”
His brain is running in circles rn
If you don’t make a move, he would probably chicken out and not kiss you cuz he's scared its not gonna be good or you wont like it
But if you DO make the first move and kiss HIM first…
*cove.exe has stopped working*
“Abjsdvcsamddhwvajscvasohmygodmohmygodmohmygod”
“cove? Cove?!? COVE?????!!”
After the shock wears off and he's able to think properly again, he's just a big, smiley, blushy mess.
No matter what you do for the date, you somehow find yourselves back at the hill or the beach eventually (but are we really surprised? no.)
After the two of you part ways for the night and return to your respective homes, cove is still a giddy, smiling, happy mess.
Without even getting changed, he flops onto his bed, and just kinda melts.
This boy is smiling into his pillow, just absolutely bursting with pure joy and happiness. He literally loves you SO damn much. Probably more than you could ever imagine
But he eventually does get changed properly. He doesn't just go to bed in the clothes he wore out on ur date lol.
As soon as you get home, there’s no escape from the ruthless teasing from both Liz AND the moms.
They’ll leave you alone after you go up to your room tho, don’t worry
Overall, both you and cove had a really good time on your first date! Definitely a day the two of you will remember :>

Love Language|| Jujutsu Kaisen
“I wanna be fluent in your love language. Learning your love language.”
A/N: If you didn’t guess from the tagline this is inspired by the song love language by Kehlani. I’ll probably do more of these with different shows and what not because why not. If I missed anyone lmk and I can make a part 2. Also please tag spoilers appropriately esp for manga readers, that being said spoilers for the prequel? manga on Yuuta’s part.
Characters: Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, Maki, Inumaki, Okkotsu, Gojo, Nanami, Sukuna
Warnings: said it b4 but spoiler warnings in general but esp on Yuuji, Yuuta, and Maki’s parts
Plot synopsis: The 5 love languages; physical affection, quality time, words of affirmation, gift giving and acts of service, and how each jujutsu kaisen character shows their love and affection for you. Ft. a gender neutral reader!
Word count: 2352
Itadori Yuuji
Love Language: Quality time and physical affection
Ok listen-
So for physical affection, Yuuji’s just that kind of person
He is all about giving to you
He’s holding hands with you if you’re ever walking anywhere, and if you’re not a hand holder pls pls pls let him hold your pinky he likes the reassurance
No but seriously he loves to hold you like yall could be walking in completely opposite directions and he’ll try to find some way to hold onto you until the very last second
And even then he’s all ‘:( babe imy’
‘Yuuji we just talked 2 minutes ago’
Another way he shows his love is through quality time
I think for him this is the biggest thing overall, esp as a jujutsu sorcerer bcus you never know yk but also because you’re important to him
Like remember how he literally went to occult club so that he could get out of school in time to go visit his grandpa...ye :(
He also loves finding dumb touristy things to do with you while in Tokyo or anywhere yall go together on a mission
If you get together before he died and came back then that time he had to spend away from you literally killed him
Like my mans was goin THROUGH it
He almost considered spoiling Gojo’s secret
When he sees you again, he’s not gonna let go for like a solid day
Fushiguro Megumi
Love Language: acts of service and words of affirmation
This boy loves you so much
He loves to tell you all the things he loves about you when you’re alone
But he’s a little awkward with his words sometimes, hence where acts of service come in
He’ll immediately offer to hold your things, run to help you train or study, and if you’re cold? He’s fully prepared to never see his jacket again
Also he can’t cook but he’s fully prepared to suffer hearing Sukuna and suffering through Yuuji’s antics if it means he can learn how to make your favorite food
He also will surprise you by making you a playlist of all the songs that you’ve had stuck in your head and sends it to you randomly out of the blue one day like ‘thought you might like this’
However the best of both worlds is when he leaves you little notes throughout the day or sends you texts asking if you need anything or just encouraging you to keep going
Negl he’s lowkey the president of the Y/N support club bcus-
You need anything? It’s yours
Cravings? Sad? Angry? What do you need bby, I’ve got it for you
Also he’s totally the type to be like you need help fuckin this person up?
Also before yall started dating, Fushiguro was a mess
He was constantly asking to spar with you and go on missions, basically anything he could do to be near you
End of the day, Fushiguro loves you and makes sure you know it whether it’s through his actions or his words
Kugisaki Nobara
Love Language: physical affection
So, she’s not the best with words, she tries but like someone help her bcus she is LOST
Like when she had a crush on you she was like “c’mere dumbass i wanna give you a hug”
In fact, she still is like “c’mere” but now you are dating :)
She loves you though and at first she doesn’t really know how to show it
But one day you both come home from training and you just look at each other like ‘yeah today sucks’ and yall both just held each other for the rest of the day
After that, she decided that she wants to do that with you but like always
She’s holding your hand, kissing your cheek when you go shopping, etc. etc.
She really loves to cling to you because she always has this fear that maybe one day you’ll get killed or just disappear so she figures might as well hold onto you for as long as we’ve got
After missions, she’s running up to you and if you aren’t prepared for the tackle, you’re probably gonna fall
On dates too, like if you guys have to meet up for a date, she’s tackling you
On the subject of dates...
She doesn’t mind PDA, and while she might hold your hand or arm so that you don’t get separated
She also doesn’t mind wiping food off your face and eating it, only to then kiss the spot on your face the food was previously at
She will split her shopping load between the two of you, however she will be slightly pouty if she’s carrying more than you (she then cheers up when she realizes she can do more shopping to “balance” the two of you)
In private she’s very cuddly and kissy which honestly isn’t that bad until it gets hot
At which point she’ll just say turn on the ac or convince you to walk around in a tank top (or something like it) so that she can continue holding you
Tbh she prefers the big spoon, but if she’s ever upset you let her be the little spoon >:(
All in all a very loving girlfriend who tries her best to show how much she loves you by glomping you at any given moment.
Zenin Maki
Love language: acts of service and quality time
So you’re telling me that Maki wouldn’t immediately go out of her way to make sure her and her s/o can spend as much time together as possible?????
Like she’s super observant (which can cause her to be a bit harsh, see Yuuta) but she can always tell what’s bothering you
So if you’re upset that you haven’t been spending enough time together due to her being out on missions or otherwise busy she’s immediately running to finish her stuff and spend time with you.
((She’s very sorry, but on the bright side she brought your favorites!))
Maki is also an acts of service type
This mostly ties in with her kind of direct action way of thinking
She thinks she’s slick but you can always see her sneaking around to do small things like grabbing your laundry for you and folding it
She’s very much like if you love someone, you gotta prove it
Overall, dates with her are very intimate and personal to the two of you
Like she’ll take you to a frog pond you landed in during a fight once
Or you’ll take her to a street fair that serves this exclusive food that Maki mentioned wanting to try
However, Maki shows her love through quality time and acts of service and while she does receive love from these to a degree, she is very much a words of affirmation gal
She’s not insecure in her day to day life but she has her moments, everyone does
Sometimes, she’ll feel like shit and a failure and all she wants is for you to say that she’s doing amazing and that she’s a great girlfriend.
Inumaki Toge
Love language: Physical affection
Because of his curse, he can’t exactly express how he feels about you through words
He does text you frequently throughout the day (I’ll have to do a hc abt that someday)
But he’d prefer not to be on his phone to communicate if you’re right in front of him
So he does the next best thing and just smothers you in physical affection
He loves kissing you the most
Like he could spend hours just kissing you if you let him (please let him)
But in public, he gets if you’re not a big fan of pda he’s willing to tone it down as long as he gets kisses later in private
He’d still prefer it if you held his hand or linked pinkies maintaining touch in some way
Also, unrelated, but it means so much to him if you try to understand his sushi language
He knows realistically the foundation of any relationship is communication so already he’s at a disadvantage because of his curse
But if he sees you like take notes after he says something or start to need him to text you to translate, his heart is swelling
Like ‘omg this person loves me enough to learn a whole new language <333′
Another tangent but before you were together he was struggling so muchhhh
Like how does one express their feelings for someone without words?
If you’re Inumaki, you buy some flowers and text said person to meet you at a cafe
It took an embarrassingly long time for you to realize it was a date, but once you did, you ever so gently linked pinkies with Toge
Okkotsu Yuuta
Love language: words. of. affirmation.
He’s literally so sensitive please tell him you love him regularly
In return he’ll be sure to tell you how much he loves you too
He knows that he can’t really be there for you as much as he’d like but he likes to let you know that he’s thinking of you
Doesn’t matter the time, if you call, he’s answering
If he doesn’t he’ll cry he’ll immediately call you back and is apologizing for missing your call
You assure him it’s no big deal but the man has his volume turned all the way up and changed your ringtone to one specific for you by the time you’ve even said hey
Aside from that, he really is sensitive
He’s been through a lot especially with Rika as well as growing up alone and bullied
So for him, it’s everything to hear that you like having him around and don’t think he’s too much or anything like that
Of course, he gets better with time, trusting you and having the confidence in himself to not need constant assurance
That being said, if you ever just whisper in his ear, “I love you, Yuuta.”
That’s not your boyfriend, that’s a puddle of love on the floor
(Maki, Panda, and Inumaki had a field day when they saw him, Fushiguro now questions if Yuuta really is a respectable 2nd year.)
Gojo Satoru
Love language: gift giving and quality time
So Gojo doesn’t exactly get to spend a ton of time
Between missions, him beefing with higher ups, and you and him playing parent the baby sorcerers yall don’t exactly get time to go out much
In which case Gojo tends to default to two options:
He’ll either go the extra mile to try and spend time with you
Whether that be an at home date where he tries and fails to surprise you with a home cooked meal
Or a date out at a restaurant or cafe (which you tend to visit after his home cooking efforts)
OR he’ll bring you various souvenirs from his missions
He loves to spoil you, and if he could he’d probably bring you back a whole store’s worth of stuff
But alas, airport security regulations
Anyways, he loves to spoil you especially if he can spoil you with sweets because it benefits him in two ways
He treasures all the time you spend together, and he does try to overcompensate for his absence with gifts
Despite your assurances, it’s kind of a guilty pleasure at this point (just let him, trying to argue just goads him on further)
He doesn’t only buy you small things, he enjoys buying you outfits
And he especially likes seeing you in them
Kento Nanami
Love Language: acts of service
Y’all remember the episode where he killed that curse that was bothering that baker lady?? Yea that
He’s literally such an acts of service boyfriend it’s not even funny
Before you got together, he would memorize your coffee order and bring you a cup pretty much everyday like clockwork
Now that you’re togehter, he wakes up before you so h=that when you wake up there’s the smell of coffee throughout the house
When you come out of you’re shared bedroom and he’s just scrooling through his phone like “mornin’”
Of course you already made the bed and ironed his clothes because relationships are give and take
And then when you leave for your jobs in the morning, he kisses you and holds the door open for you
He’ll draw a bath for you if he gets home before you, if you let him join or not is up to you
Also, if you ever get sick, he’s actually the best
Like he isn’t the best cook but he can heat up soup and tea
He’ll run to the store while you’re asleep and when you wake up, there’s like a whole tray of food in front of you and he’s like ‘it’s important to eat and drink so your body can heal’
And when you inevitably fall asleep after eating and taking medicine at his insistence, he tucks you in and clears away the dishes, exiting with little more than a kiss to your head
Ryoumen Sukuna
Love Language: gift giving and acts of service
So like Sukuna never says he loves you...ever
But he does notice if someone or something’s making you uncomfortable, and if so, said entity’s head will be presented to you later that day
You also just so happen to be the only person he can tolerate being around him for longer than 20 seconds
He also loves to give you jewelry, he likes seeing you adorned in something from him
He also isn’t gonna just handle all your problems for you, he will push you to become stronger by training with you
He’ll also expect this energy to be reciprocated, as long as you’re pushing yourself to be better, he’s content with that
(He wants to see you grow because he’s scared that if he ever gets caught lackin one day you’ll end up dead)
He’ll never tell you or admit it, but Sukuna truly does care for you and hold you in a regard that he doesn’t have for others
So be grateful jkjk
