I'm sorry, it's so long!! I'm putting it behind the read more for easier reading.
What’s the origin of your username? It's a song by Armand Van Helden! He's one of my favourite DJs haha.
OTP(s) + shipname: TUna LMAO (Tidus/Yuna) from FFX, Fanille (Fang/Vanille from FFXIII), Touya/Yukito from CCS, GinRan and Unohana/Isane from Bleach. Yakuza: Daigo/Mine. Also a big fan of Canon Character/OCs!!!
Favourite colour: Turquoise/teal - most of my fountain pen inks are in that colour range lol
Song stuck in my head: The Macrodata Refinement Dance Party mixed by ODESZA
Weirdest habit/trait: If I'm at a restaurant, I fold my used napkins neatly to be disposed of.
Hobbies: I have a lot! Aside from writing, there are:
(junk) journaling, which in turn, lead me to my stationery and fountain pen hobbies
playing the piano (been playing since I was 5)
swimming (was a competitive swimmer for most of my child and teenage years)
I garden in the spring/summertime
I also love to cook and have done dinner parties for my friends (but I don't enjoy baking)
I'm also into photography
I wish I had more time in the day for it, but I also try to do some language learning!
If you could have any job you wish what would you have? A food/travel writer/reviewer!
Something you’re good at: I've been told I'm good at giving advice and listening to people. Personally I'm very good at directions! There have been a few times where I've been stopped on the street and helped people navigate their way around.
Something you hate: Oranges :(, I can't stand the colour, the smell and the taste.
Something you forget: Hmmm not sure! I guess phone numbers. I only remember the numbers of my immediate family...

Favourite animal: bears!!! I know they could kill me, but why are they friend-shaped :(
What were you like as a child? I was an easygoing child and VERY curious. I would wake up in the middle of the night to do "science" experiments. Like one time I woke up around 3am and I dug up the front yard to find "cool rocks" 💀 or buy mentos from the local convenience store, wait for everyone to go to bed, then sneak into the kitchen and put the mentos in my parents 2L coke bottle to see it explode LMAO.

What’s your best character trait: I've been told I'm very caring and calming to be around! I had a friend describe me as a "human version of a spa" 💀
What’s your worst character trait? I cut people out of my life very easily. I think I should be more forgiving, but I just... can't get passed whatever slight was made to me/loved ones. I'm trying to be understanding and compassionate, but I also don't want you near me ever again lol.
If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be? I hope trump and his administration dies. In my immediate life? I'd like a higher salary.
If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? It is definitely a tie between Johann Sebastian Bach and Muzio Clementi!! They are my favourite composers. My piano exam repertoire for the Baroque and Classical periods were from their piano repertoire. I have so much fun playing them and would love to learn their thought processes.

A, S, Z for the fandom ask game
A-your favourite OTP : Mom help they're making me pick favourites again
Such a complicated question. I'm gonna have to go with Dinahbabs but Jayrena is extremely close behind right now and Stephcass and Jayroy are also very close fuck I need to go with my gut and my gut says dinahbabs but good god I love all of my ships why do I have to chooooose
S- show us an example of your personal headcanon: god there's so much stuff... Let's say my hc that Mia Dearden is into jazz dancing! But also I have an hc that Mia is great at shooting in the dark, like getting a great sense of her surroundings and then closing her eyes/being blindfolded and shooting from memory, something she does to avoid ever being taken down in a fight due a blackout or blinding light. So, I'm combining that to get: Mia practices jazz dancing with a blindfold on to increase her spatial memory/spatial awareness as practice for fighting without her eyes.
Z- ramble about something fandom related -that's a full time job hell yeah. Okay so everyone has a favourite trick arrow right? Like one of my favourite things about the arrowfam is when they use trick arrows these are so so cool one of my favourite gimmicks definitely my favourite gadgets (yes, even above jason's exploding helmet exploding katana and tit tazers and you guys know I love those). Anyway so you gotta love arrowfam trick arrows they are so fun and they make writing fight scenes so much more enjoyable I think my favourite fight scene that I ever wrote was Jason vs Ollie in the Protector and then I got to keep using Ollie's arrows for the other fights, I can't wait to write a Mia fight scene with trick arrows it's going to be amazing. Anyway so cool, badass trick arrows are great and make for fun fight scenes. BUT there's something that I love even more and it's those campy, absurd trick arrows we don't see much of these days -the wedding arrow the sun arrow the fountain pen arrow the jack-in-the-box arrow. They're so good. Collector. In an ideal world there's an arrowfam videogame where Ollie is presumed dead and has left collector campy trick arrows all over Star City for the arrowfam members to find. Anyway so my point is, I love campy trick arrow and I miss them and I think comics should reference them more. And I have to say my favourite is maybe the Sun Arrow, an illuminated balloon arrow resembling the sun. You guys know I have to share a picture:
Tumblr media
As I was saying, modern comics need more references to those arrows - if they won't bring them back at least let them never be forgotten. So I thought -hey what if Roy made a modern version of a sun-powered arrow named "sun arrow" as a direct reference to this one (he says something about "the good old days")? My idea was an arrow with solar-panels or something that can somehow absorb store and release solar energy. And then I thought wait hold on a second that reminds me of someone!
So my proposal: Arsenal!Roy making a sun arrow (new version) and at some point (either in the Titans or my personal version of the Outlaws, not RHATO), Kory's powers aren't working because she's been kept underground for too long and she's being restrained on the other side of the battlefield and Roy and the others are surrounded from way too many enemies and the villain says something along the line of "surrender now, we have much more firepower than your pitiful team" and Roy says "I wouldn't count on that" and fires the sun arrow at Kory which releases a big burst of solar energy she absorbs and she unleashes a big AOE attack and joins the fight and is able to turn the tides like that, that's my pitch.
Anyway check out the trickster's quiver for maybe my favourite site to browse ever.

Year of the OTP 2025 February
https://archiveofourown.org/works/62837506
June 4, 1913
“There’s someone here to see you, Mr. Crawley,” Owens said, popping his head into Matthew’s office.
“I don’t have anything in my diary,” he replied, a feeling of dread and déjà vu growing in the pit of his stomach. “Please don’t tell me it’s Lady Grantham again.”
“No, it’s not Lady Grantham,” Owens said, not exactly meeting Matthew’s eyes. “It’s Lady Mary Crawley.”
“Mary!” Matthew exclaimed, upsetting his cup of tea.
“Should I show her in?”
“Yes, yes, of course,” Matthew grumbled, “but give me a minute to clean this mess up.” He gestured to the sodden pile of papers on his desk as Owens withdrew. He hastily shoved the mess off into a wastepaper bin and stood to retrieve his suit jacket from the stand behind him. He was just settling himself back in at his desk as the door opened again and Owens showed in Mary.
Mary’s eyes swept around the office taking in every detail. Matthew stood and gestured to the chair opposite his desk. “Cousin Mary,” he began, “how nice to see you. What brings you to Harvell and Carter today.”
“Don’t worry,” she smiled, “I haven’t come to trick you into looking for a way to give me your inheritance.”
“I—I didn’t think that’s why you were here.”
“Actually,” she said as she sat down and smoothed her skirt. “I came to give you something.”
“Me?” he asked. “You don’t have to give me anything.”
“It’s nothing really,” a slight blush colored her cheeks. “I was out shopping today, and I saw this and, well, it made me think of you.” She reached into her handbag and withdrew a thin box.
“You really didn’t have to,” he said taking the box from her.
“I know, but…” she paused, contemplating if she should continue or not. “It’s just, no one has ever said that I matter before. I was so awful to you when you first came here, and you have no reason to be so kind to me. I’m sorry I was such a pain.”
“Mary,” he said quietly as he turned the box around in his hands.
“Oh, go on and open it,” she said, waving her hand impatiently.
“You really didn’t have to do this,” he tried again.
“Well, if you don’t want it, give it back.” She held her hand out expectantly.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want it,” he said pulling it closer to him and out of her reach. “I’m very touched that you thought of me, you just didn’t need to get anything for me.”
“You haven’t seen what it is yet,” she smiled. “You might not be as pleased when you see what reminds me of you.”
“Well, now I’m very intrigued.” He turned the box over in his hands slowly. It was about six inches long and about one inch tall. He gently shook it gently and hearing nothing placed it carefully on the desk in front of him. He untied the piece of string holding the brown wrapping paper in place. He tentatively pulled on the paper and revealed a black case with a small brass buckle on the side. He flipped open the buckle and revealed a shiny tortoise shell fountain pen with gold bands and an oval plate on the side bearing the letters “M.C.”
“You…you had it engraved?” he asked, failing to hide the affection in his voice.
“Well, the shopkeeper assumed that it was for me,” she replied, not meeting his eyes.
“It’s beautiful, Mary,” he said taking it gingerly out of its case. “It reminds me of one that my mother bought for my father’s fiftieth birthday.” He pulled a blank sheet of paper to him and scrawled: thank you, I love it. He blotted it, folded the paper in half and handed it across the desk to Mary.
She took the paper, read it and Matthew smiled as he watched a blush creep up her cheeks. “I’m glad you like it,” she whispered. Then she smoothed her skirt and sat up straighter. “Well, anyway,” she continued, her voice returning to normal, “I’ll leave you now. I do hope you and your mother are still planning to come for dinner tonight.”
“Of course,” he said, rising with her and going to open the door for her. “I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

SnK modern au writing prompts/fic ideas...
...that I may or may never get to but if someone else wants to use these for inspo please do and then let me read it :')
Tumblr media
Eren and Porco Pizza Shop AU 🍕 They're coworkers who absolutely hate each other's guts and constantly clap back at one another and talk shit throughout the duration of their shifts lmao. But eventually, over time, they develop camaraderie because their personalities are actually pretty similar, they like the same music, and they both hate their boss (can be Levi or Zeke). Slow burn enemies to friends with all sorts of shenanigans. (Bonus: they fight over Pieck, who's a regular at the shop)
Zeke x Frieda, hookup/fake dating au. They initially start hooking up to piss off their dads, Grisha and Rod, who hate each other. But then oops, they catch feels. "We're only doing this to piss off my dad." "Wait... I thought we were doing this to piss off my dad??"
ANY SURFING AU OF ANY KIND!!! 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️ I feel like Ymir would best fit this au tho. Ymir's a pro surfer and kicks ass. Or; the Warriors take surfing lessons. Annie and Pieck get it right the first try. Porco and Marcel need more practice. Bertolt struggles but gets it eventually. Reiner is too beefy to balance all that muscle lmao.
Eren and Historia ballroom competition. (I have this planned for Silhouettes!)
Dance competition. Can be any pairs, shippy or non-ship. But I like ere/hisu for this one. Along with Porco paired with Pieck. Bertolt and Ymir partner up because they both got rhythm 🎶 Reiner is one of the best dancers (such grace) and he opts for Annie. Mikasa and Armin pair up. Levi and Zeke hate each other but they dance so well together lol. Go wild with this one!
World War II AU. You know that one VJ Day Kiss in Times Square photo that's famous? Yeah that. Imagine your otp.
Gym drama AU: Porco and Pieck work out at the same gym as Eren and Mikasa. (Couples gotta stay fit together ayyy) One fateful day, Eren takes a break between sets and heads to the water fountain, where he thinks Mikasa is taking a sip. All he sees is her black hair pulled back from behind and he's like 'damn is she shorter somehow?' but thinks nothing of it (he's a little loopy from his intense workout) and smacks her on the ass. BUT it's Pieck! Mistaken identity oops! Pieck jolts up and turns around, utterly shocked and Porco hurries over there like 'WTF! Hands off my girl!' Then Mikasa emerges and is like 'Eren, what are you doing???' But Eren, cornered, doubles down despite being in the wrong and is like 'so what? who's gonna stop me?? Fight me!' ^^^this au also works if you replace Eren with Jean, but I feel like Jean would apologize profusely, whereas Eren and Porco would immediately start brawling lmao
Any Zeke x Lara or Zeke x Frieda AU tbh. These ships need more love and are so aesthetically pleasing.
Top Gun AU! Or Air Force, Navy Pilots AU! I prefer the warriors for this one. Reiner as a squad leader. Porco is Pieck's wingman. Etc...
Spy/Assassin AU. Pieck is tasked with taking Eren out but falls in love with him instead. They embark on an epic romantic adventure.
'80s AU!
'90s AU! Anyway, here's Wonderwall!🎶
Kingsman AU: I like Porco and/or Eren for this one.
Bachelorette party AU! Ooohh I have too many ideas for this one!
Birthing class AU. Eren and Historia take a class, accompanied by Zeke and Frieda (the jaeger bros and the reiss sisters ayyyy). I like the idea of porco/pieck taking this class too, and Pieck is just a major goofball throughout the whole thing.
Annie teaches a martial arts class. That's a versatile one. But I was flirting with mik/annie for this one ~~~~
Summer vacation AU: Pieck/Porco plan a couple's getaway, but then Marcel invites himself along, and that means Reiner is going, and then Bert and Annie crash the vacay too.
Dating game show AU: Pieck is a contestant, and her suitors are Porco, Bertolt, Eren, Zeke, and let's throw Levi in there for the lols. Okay, that's a lot. If I think of anything else, I may expand on it. Obviously, I've plugged my own ships in here but feel free to mix it up however you like! Maybe I'll do a holiday edition lol 'tis the season!⛄

I don’t do this super often, but when I was 13ish I spent hours thinking about Percy and Annabeth’s future house. Idk why. And I wrote out their magical house in an iPhone note. I updated it every so often for a couple years, but as an adult I leave it alone as a monument to my childhood and my OTP.
But I just saw a really cool themed house from that home tours blog (it was pirate themed!) and wanted to share my ‘home tour’.
Please keep in mind the following was written mostly in 2014 by a young teen who made some shit up. So some of it may not be canonly possible now/never was a thing 
Percy and Annabeth's underwater cave house
Front entrance: dead tree on edge of Chase cliff. Whisper Jackson, and a slide that can take you up and down using antigravity and gravity leads to the house. You can notice tiny little jewels all over the house, enchanted for anti monster.
First level hallway: kitchen, dining room with conveyer belt leading between, gym, living room, bathroom. This is the second lowest level. The rest of the floors also have the slides to get there.
Kitchen has a large island, with lots of counters and cabinets. The walls are turquoise and everything else is chrome grey, like the fridge and such.
Dining room as a chandelier of rainbows, with a mini fountain that spurts any drink you ask for is in the middle of a ring table that could fit 16. If you give a coin, it can create an iris message. The table is silver grey wood while the wall is also turquoise.
The gym is just a mini work out area. Not decorated.
The living room is decorated with pictures of their friends. It has silvery gray walls, blue furniture, and a ten ft by ten ft tv. The dead tree actually has many minisatelites disguised as moss. They are enchanted to actually literally grow.
Third lowest level
Party room twelve guest rooms with their own bathrooms
,library.
Party room is just a blue room with food slide from the kitchen, some rables, and a disco ball with a wooden track around the large room for skating. Percy, with help from a friendly kid of Boreas, sometimes turn it into a winter wonderland in the summer.
Spare room 1
Frank n Hazels room usually, or will be when they start doing stuff. Green painted with gold furniture pretty much describes their rooms
Spare room 2
Will and nicos room usually. Black and silver furniture with gold walls
Spare room 3
Rachel's room Murals and a rainbow everywhere. Every surface is painted. Wicker/newspaper/hodgepodge furniture everywhere
Spare room 4
Piper and Jason's walls are red, and furniture is purple and pink. Actually looks nice and not too girly
Spare room 5
Calypso and Leo's room, done in red and oranges. Ps all the rooms had a small window like the ones in the hobbit
Spare room 6.
Hedge and Mellies room, with cradle. Everything is in light blues and dark greens
Spare room 7
Reyna's and future partner's room
Purple walls with gold and silver looking furniture, and 2 dog beds for aurum and argentum
The rest are kids rooms/ unplanned for when the guests have kids. They are plain. The last is a sort of playroom, with same size tv (everyone has a 2 by 3 tv in room)
Top level
Percabeth's room, future kids room(4), mrs. O'Leary's room, the offices, window room, carport, and percy and Annabeth's iwn offices
Future kids rooms are in pastel blue, yellow, green and orange
Mrs. O'Leary's room is giant, with lots of rubber yaks and other toys, and bowls filled with food and water always (they refill themselves). Done in red and silver. with special portal just for her and her owners to go out to Central Park.
Carport is just a garage that has a magical door that allows car to go through tree portel.
Lowest level
Garden and port and demigod Runaway shelter
Port is this giant cave, hidden by the mist to look like a cliff face that makes mortals just suddenly think about other things to do. It opens up to the sea, and they have this great boat called the sea owl, with eyes on the front. It also has a submarine, a small seaplane, and an elevator that goes to two portals to Olympus, and Atlantis. Has automatic spell where you have the small air bubble around you and your stuff. is painted on by enormous mural by Rachel.
Garden
Fruit trees that make all fruits (a rare tree called a cornucopia tree) lots of flowers and a gazebo. Painted and lighted to look like the outside that day. In middle there is a five-tiered fountain that sprays a rainbow. First level is made of Stygian iron, then celestial bronze, then Atlantean silver, imperial gold, and then heavenly steel that has a little dirt in it with a blue stemmed silver First Orchid. Has imported bees
Demigod safe base
A special Door that opens only to demigods and their helpers. and only let's demigods in leads you to the shelter. It has an ambrosia and nectar fountain, a water fountain that could turn to rainbows, free drachmas sent from the gods (only those in need can grab them), and ten beds with heated blankets. Small altar. Fridge full of ever re supplying food. Cabinet full of whatever medical stuff you need. Door that leads to Percabeth house, but only opens when you have permission.

OTPtember 2022 day 27: Akiryu/Pegoryu.
9/28-30/2022. Pencil underdrawing, Copic Gasenfude brush pen, Copic markers, Platinum Preppy fountain pen of Noodler’s Ink, Gelly Roll white gel pen. Some fixes on Krita. Referencing my Joker and Skull Figmas.
The other day (9/21/2022), I thought I should try drawing my OTPs in the style that I’ve been drawing OC witches for Witchtober 2022 and since Inktober 2020: black and white monochrome; mostly simple silhouettes; omitted/minimal faces.
omg This took too long. How do people keep work-in-progress drawings over several days? I'm used to finishing a drawing within a day...or within an all-nighter and another day. lol Needless to say, I will not being doing longer drawings like this for the rest of OTPtember 2022. I need to catch up on the days I skipped while working on this one, after all.

Ooh how about #80 for your favorite pairing?
Thanks for the ask @uchidachi and sorry it took a few days! I ended up writing 4k words and filling a day for my OTP's pairing month that passed in November.
So thanks again for the prompt, it really got the writing juices flowing!
Also posted to AO3 here
Different, But The Same
Marc Anciel/Nathaniel Kurtzberg
Rated T, 3911 words
...
Nathaniel loves Marc with his entire heart.
Maybe it’s just him being young and stupid. Getting attached to the first boyfriend he’s ever had. To the first person he’s ever dated, really, discounting taking Marinette out on a date as Evillustrator.
But no one’s ever made Nathaniel feel the way Marc does. The way Marc’s smile makes his heart flutter and his insides warm, makes him feel safe and seen. How Marc’s laughs always gets Nathaniel to laugh along, buoyed by the other’s joy. How they can be sitting together doing nothing at all, and it still feels monumental because he’s spending time with Marc. The time he spends with Marc makes him feel different, makes him feel better.
Nathaniel adores Marc, but he knows Marc could do better than him. Deserves better than him.
After all, Nathaniel’s hurt Marc. Got him Akumatized that first day they knew each other.
Who the hell dates the person that got them Akumatized…? Either someone very stupid or very kind, and Nathaniel knows Marc isn’t stupid. He’s got top grades, one of the smartest kids in Mendeleiev’s homeroom.
So, Marc is kind. Ridiculously so. To be able to forgive Nathaniel for ruining his journal and getting him Akumatized all because of a misunderstanding and Nathaniel’s paranoia. And not only forgive Nathaniel, but to work on a comic with him. To be his friend. To… To date Nathaniel.
Nathaniel knows Marc can do better, knows he’s a burden. Nathaniel’s difficult to deal with.
He’s incredibly introverted and anti-social. It’s hard to take him out anywhere before his social battery drains and he needs to leave after just a few minutes. He gets overwhelmed easily, hates crowds and sudden noises. He gets twitchy and scared and runs away all the time from danger. He has a short attention span and is always drawing all over his schoolwork because of his ADHD. He has a hard time working with others. He’s been burned too many times before in group projects where he’s had to do all the work, or situations where he’s ignored and forgotten completely.
Already, Nathaniel knows he’s a bother, that he’s no good with people. And that’s not accounting his bad temper. He blows up harshly after he’s been wound up from stress. He’s constantly anxious and worried that people are making fun of him or waiting to ruin his things, not in short part because of Chloe’s bullying. And that leaves him with the tendency to lash out when things pile up too much.
It’s what led him to react so harshly to Marc that fateful day, at the fountain. Thinking he’d been getting tricked, because having someone so pretty and kind compliment his artwork and meet him alone, only for him to be recorded the entire time—that’s just another setup for humiliation. So Nathaniel lashed out. He realized right afterwards he’d done something terrible when Marc looked so horrified and cried about the ruined notebook, but it was too late, and—
Nathaniel apologizes often to Marc about it. Marc keeps shaking his head and insisting, “you don’t need to keep doing this, Nath, it’s in the past.” And they keep hanging out, building newer and happier memories together in the art room and by the fountain.
Even when Marc accepted Nathaniel’s offer for a date, a little voice inside the artist had been telling him to wait for the other shoe to drop. That Marc will date him, and at any point realize that he’s too good for Nathaniel. That Marc deserves better than Nathaniel and will break up with him. And it’d hurt, but at least they’d still have the comic. Nathaniel can live with that.
But they’ve been dating for two months know. In middle schooler time, that’s insanely long. The only other couples that beat them out of going steady for so long are Ivan and Mylene, Juleka and Rose, and Alya and Nino—in that exact order.
So maybe there’s something there. Maybe—maybe their relationship lasting so long is a sign. A good sign.
Unless Marc is only putting up with you because he doesn’t want to lose you as his artist for the comic, says a vicious voice in his head, because why else would he bother putting up with someone as lazy and hard to deal with as you?
Nathaniel’s always feeling his best when he’s with Marc, feeling like he’s at the top of the world with Marc’s laugh and smile and kisses. But afterwards he’ll feel so low, his doubts come flooding in like an unstoppable storm. Sure, Marc seems to enjoy their dates. But what if it’s less because Nathaniel is a good boyfriend and more because Marc is nice and has low expectations?
Before long, Nathaniel’s stomach is twisting itself into knots out of pure nerves. He can’t sleep at night. Sometimes he launches himself from his bed to dry-heave in the bathroom. What if what if what if echoing in his mind.
Maybe he deserves it. Maybe it’s a small price to pay, for being so terrible. Maybe Marc should just get it over with and break it off, stop pretending to put up with him, so he doesn’t have to keep waiting for it.
Then again, maybe he deserves this torture. After getting Marc Akumatized, maybe this is the way he can repay all the pain he caused.
Maybe maybe maybe.
---
Nathaniel’s tired and irritable and scatterbrained today at school. Well, more than usual, that is.
Him and Marc are in the art room, like always. They’re working on their comic, like always.
At least they would be if Nathaniel wasn’t feeling so sluggish and getting nothing done. Just a bunch of dumb scribbles with terrible anatomy, fit to be ripped out of his sketchbook and chucked into the garbage.
“Nath… Have you been getting enough sleep?” Marc asks worriedly after the artist throws his pencil down in frustration.
“I haven’t,” Nathaniel bites out. He buries his face against his hands, fingers curling and tugging on his hair. He takes a few deep breaths in and out, like his anger management coach has told him to do when he feels overwhelmed. It helps, especially when Marc rubs his back in comfort.
“You know, maybe we should go outside and get some fresh air today. It’s nice out,” his boyfriend says sweetly, voice a soothing balm. “Everyone keeps telling us we work too hard, anyways. A break will do us both a lot of good.”
“Okay,” Nathaniel chokes out, pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes to keep his tears at bay. Marc’s a life saver. It’s like he knows just what to say to help. Nathaniel takes a few more deep breaths until his heartrate is back to normal and he doesn’t feel like breaking down. He drops his hands and gives his boyfriend a grateful smile. “Okay. Thanks, Marc.”
“Of course,” Marc responds warmly with an equally warm smile. Then he turns to pack Nathaniel’s things up for him. “C’mon. I know you’re allergic to sunshine, but it’ll be good for you, I swear.”
The artist snorts. “Oh, haha,” he says sarcastically, but a smile tugs on his lips as he takes his bookbag from Marc. He leans in to give Marc a quick peck in thanks, earning a shy smile with flushed cheeks from his boyfriend. “You don’t have to drag me outside all��the time. I’m a big boy, I can walk.”
“Tell that to Miss Bustier next time you want to skip gym class. I literally had to drag you by the hand to get you to show up for soccer,” Marc shoots back, stuffing his notebook in his bag and shouldering it. He grabs Nathaniel’s free hand and presses a kiss against his hair.
“That was one time, okay. Will you ever let me live it down?” Nathaniel whines.
“Nope,” Marc responds sunnily with an impish tilt to his smile. “Not when soccer’s my favorite sport. I’ll always remember you not wanting to play.”
“I still showed up in the end to balance out the teams…” the redhead pouts, walking with his boyfriend as they exit the art room and make their way down the hall.
“You did! And I’m proud. That was a big thing for you, Nath,” Marc nods, swinging their connected hands slightly.
Nathaniel ducks his head, flustered. “It wasn’t a big deal. I just did what I had to—”
“Well, sometimes those are the hardest things to do.”
He’s just saying that, Nathaniel thinks as he bites his lip and glances up at Marc, he’s just being nice. He probably still thinks you were a whiny brat and totally lazy for not wanting to go in the first place.
“The hardest things to do…” he mutters as he turns his attention back to their path as they exit the school, heading towards the park.
Nathaniel never has to make hard decisions or have hard things to do. He’s just so scatterbrained and cowardly, even simple tasks get blown up into a huge production in his head. It used to be worse when he was younger, though, without getting diagnosed with ADHD and getting the medication for it. But still…
The hardest thing to do… Nathaniel thinks he knows what that would be, as he sees the fountain in the distance. The place that holds so many memories, not all of them good…
“A comic book? Us…? Never!” The memory of his cruelty echoes thickly in his ears, making Nathaniel wilt. His palms get gross and clammy. His stomach twists itself into knots so hard he feels like he wants to throw up.
It’s a relief to sit down on the edge of the fountain, his knees weak and wobbly. Marc looks at him with such sweet concern just then, it makes him feel supremely guilty. “Nath? Do you want to go home instead? I’ll walk you back—”
“Don’t,” Nathaniel chokes out, ripping his hand away from Marc’s so he can rub the sweat away on his thighs.
He feels his heartrate thump in his ears as he tries to breath. Is he having a panic attack? He’s not sure.
“Nath, do you want me to touch you?” Marc asks softly.
“No,” he says firmly, gripping his knees tight as he tries to do some breathing exercises. He’s so fucking pathetic. Why is he like this…? “No, I—Marc.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry. I just. Please.” He takes one last shuddering breath, and decides, he’ll do it. He’ll make the hard decision. “Please just break it off already.”
There’s a long silence then. Nathaniel’s too cowardly to look at the other’s reaction, but he hears the other gasp in shock.
“What?” Marc says, alarmed, and then there’s a hand on his. Those familiar fingerless gloves glint slightly in the sunlight as Marc’s painted nails thread through his. “Nath, please. What are you talking about…?
“Dump me,” Nathaniel chokes out, “I—I’m a fucking mess, Marc. You don’t deserve putting up with me.”
“Don’t deserve—are you even listening to yourself?” Marc demands, sounding angry than anything. Nathaniel can’t help but cringe, making himself small and shying away. He tries to pull his hand from Marc’s, but the other just holds onto his hand tighter.
“I’m sorry. I know it’s taken me this long to make you happy. I should’ve let you be free sooner—”
“Nathaniel, no,” the writer says firmly. “No I’m not—I’m not forced into this relationship with you. You’re not letting me be free by breaking up with me.” Well, that’s a bit hard to believe, since he’s such a burden— “Nath, look at me.”
Nathaniel flinches. Marc sounds furious—more furious than he’s ever sounded before. But Nathaniel does what he says, looking up at Marc through his bangs.
“How can you think any of this? How can you say those things about yourself?” Marc demands, tears budding in his pretty emerald eyes. Nathaniel gapes back at him, panicked at seeing the other nearly crying from frustration.
“Marc—”
“No. You listen here, Nathaniel Kurtzberg. I like being with you,” he states, thick with emotion. Using his free hand, he swipes at his eyes. “I just—if you didn’t want to date me, fine. People break up all the time, and I’m not the easiest to deal with, either. I get too emotional. I used to have panic attacks once a week. I’m sure anyone would get sick from that.”
“Marc…” Nathaniel gasps, squeezing his hand back. “Marc, no. I—You’re amazing. I don’t hold your panic attacks against you—”
“Then why…? Why are you saying that I ‘put up with you’, if that’s not what you’re doing with me?”
And that’s when the flood comes, unbidden as Nathaniel babbles out, “I—you’re way more outgoing than me. People—people like you more. You’re smart and talented and so fucking nice. You’ve got top grades, and you’re the star of the soccer team. You could be dating anyone you wanted to, Marc. Anyone. So why settle for a—a stupid, lazy, hard-to-please loser like me?”
Nathaniel pants for breath after his torrent of word-vomit. He’s never said all these things aloud before to Marc, all these insecurities.
“…You really think that about yourself?” Marc asks quietly, emerald eyes shining with more unshed tears. “Nathaniel… I’m not settling for you. You are the sweetest, funniest, most genuine person I’ve ever met. You’re such a talented artist, it seems like every time I look over at you, you’re improving leaps and bounds. But you don’t have an ego, and you’re modest, and you’re so passionate about what you make it inspires me. You inspire me, each and every day.”
Nathaniel gapes back in shock, stunned silent by the other’s raw thoughts.
“It feels like I’m the one lucky to have you as my boyfriend. So don’t you dare say that I should dump you when you’re the only person I ever wanted to be with so hard it hurts. Unless you hate me and our relationship, then fine, dump me—”
“No! No—Marc, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Nathaniel confesses frantically, clutching back at Marc’s hand like a lifeline.
Marc’s hard expression softens, thumb swiping Nathaniel’s knuckles. “So are you.”
“Even after I got you Akumatized?” he asks in a thin, disbelieving voice.
“Oh, Nathaniel…” Marc says with feeling, a look of heartbreak on his pretty face. He carefully raises his hands, giving Nathaniel enough time to see what he’s going to do before cupping his face. “Is that what all this is about?”
Nathaniel’s lips tremble. “You should hate me, for what I did.”
Marc shakes his head. “That’s long in the past. And I don’t hate you. I never have.” He leans in to gently press their foreheads together. “How can you think I’m anything but hopelessly in love with you?”
Nathaniel finds himself letting out a shuddering breath. He searches those bright green depths. Waiting to see an ounce of dishonesty or discontent. But all Nathaniel can see is an honesty so genuine, it makes him ache.
“I just—” he starts, voice cracking. “I was such an asshole to you that day.”
“You’re different today than you were back then,” Marc adds softly, still cradling the artist’s face with such tenderness it makes tears prick in his eyes. “Why would I still hate you after everything you’ve done for me, everything we’ve been through together…? You’ve apologized so many times to me, Nath. And I’ve forgiven you a long time ago.”
“I… I’m sorry,” Nathaniel chokes out, before he’s sobbing like he’s five years old instead of fifteen.
“Oh, Nath…” Marc sighs. He quickly pulls the artist’s head down to lie against the crook of his neck and shoulder before wrapping him in a hug. Nathaniel buries his head against Marc’s neck, shuddering out sobs and tears of pure relief and adoration.
“You love me… You love me,” he warbles out, clutching back to Marc fiercely.
Marc’s arms just tighten around him in response, their bodies swaying slightly as comforting things slip past his lips. “Shhh, Nath. It’s okay. I love you so much… Let it out. I’ll still be here for you…”
It takes a good minute or two, but Nathaniel finally cries himself out, hiccupping and gasping for breath. Marc’s neck and the edge of his hoodie is soaked in tears, but Marc’s warm and comforting as he rocks them both in their embrace. It helps the artist push past the faint feeling of embarrassment as he basks in Marc’s love and care.
He always feels so warm and safe and comfortable with Marc. It’s just the little niggling in the back of his mind, that voice of anxiety and paranoia that insists that Marc hates him, that ruins his time with his comic partner. Marc’s one of his best friends even before they started dating. Their bond only grew closer once they got together romantically.
Nathaniel felt lucky he could have such an amazing, talented, kind, gorgeous boy to be by his side. He felt like he was living something too good to be true. That he didn’t deserve Marc.
But he does. He deserves Marc—because Marc loves him. Thinks Nathaniel is worthy to love him just as much as he loves Nathaniel. And that should be enough, shouldn’t it…?
Nathaniel feels lighter, now. His stomach stops twisting into knots, his heart slowing it’s frantic beating driven by fear and shame. It’s like a huge weight has been lifted from his shoulders.
“Thanks, Marc,” Nathaniel says with a sniffle against the other’s neck. He pulls back just enough to press a quick and teary kiss against his boyfriend’s cheek. “Sorry, I’m kinda snotty right now—”
“I still think you’re handsome,” Marc says loyally, letting Nathaniel go from his embrace. He turns to slot their lips together, completely ignoring how much of a mess the redhead is. And Nathaniel feels himself melt even further.
“Sap,” Nathaniel says fondly once they part with a wet laugh. He pats his pockets, finding a stray tissue to swipe at his eyes and blow his nose with. “Ugh. I feel crusty.”
“But you seem much better now. I think crying’s helped release your bottled-up emotions,” the writer says with a soft smile. He carefully tucks his boyfriend’s long bangs behind his ear. “It’s like you can finally breathe again, right?”
“Yeah. It does feel like that,” Nathaniel notes wonderingly, hands wandering to grab Marc’s forearms. “Huh. I guess it’s been a while since I last cried.”
“Couldn’t be me. I cry way too often,” Marc says sheepishly with a little cringe.
The artist shakes his head. “I think you cry just the right amount,” he says warmly, a smile tugging his lips. “Plus, I think it’s cute you get so invested in the characters of things you love, you get emotional when stuff happens to them. It shows you really care.”
“If you say so…” Marc trails off with a little pout, ears flushing pink.
“I know so,” Nathaniel says. He gets on his toes to give a kiss against Marc’s button nose. Marc scrunches said nose, going cross-eyed in bewilderment, and the artist can’t help the warm laugh that spills out of his mouth. “Um, I kinda want to just curl up in some blankets and cuddle right now. We could watch something too, if you want…?”
“I’d love to.” Marc gives an easy smile and adds, “You wanted to show me Ponyo, right? That movie looks sweet.”
“The little kiddy fish movie? You sure? ‘Cuz there are other things you might like better—"
Marc cuts him off with a swift kiss. When he pulls back, he grins down at Nathaniel with fond exasperation. “You love the Ghibli movies. And I love watching them with you. I think it’s a good choice.”
That’s right. Marc doesn’t hate Nathaniel. That includes not hating when Nathaniel wants to watch certain things that Marc might not know about.
“Okay. It’s super cute, so you’ll probably enjoy it, too,” Nathaniel admits with a nod, threading his hand through Marc’s. Their fingers curl together naturally, like little puzzle pieces slotting into place perfectly.
“I probably will. You’ve got good taste,” Marc says warmly. He raises their connected hands to kiss Nathaniel’s knuckles, and it makes a lovestruck smile spread on the artist’s lips.
“Alright…”
And then Nathaniel was tugging Marc along to go back to his house, feeling as light as a feather with his boyfriend by his side, swinging their connected hands slightly and smiling down at Nathaniel like he hung the moon and stars.
Nathaniel might be different now than he was back then—might be more willing to love and trust and collaborate with others—but the feeling of bone-deep affection for Marc since he first complimented Nathaniel’s drawings has always been there. And that won’t ever change.
---
Nathaniel breathes a sigh when he exits his therapist’s office, feeling strung out and tired… but in an oddly good way.
Marc is sitting in a chair in the waiting room, head snapping up and leaping to his feet. “Nath…! How’d it go?”
“Well, my therapist confirmed a few things I kinda already figured,” Nathaniel explains as he goes over to Marc. His boyfriend instantly threads their hands together, and it makes a smile naturally try to tilt his lips.
“You wanna talk about it, or are you good for now?” Marc asks with concern and doe eyes, “I know therapy sessions can be a lot to deal with. Either way, I support you.”
“I know, Marc. Thanks,” Nathaniel says, oh so fond and full of love he feels like he might burst. He leads them out of the waiting room, Marc beginning to swing their hands a bit. “I—so it turns out I have Major Depressive Disorder. Which explains a lot. Especially all the, like. Massive self-loathing.”
“Ah,” Marc replies softly, squeezing Nathaniel’s hand in comfort. “At least you’re going in the right direction, then. Getting help for it.”
“Yeah,” Nathaniel says, letting out a long sigh of relief. “I’ve gotta wait to see first how anti-depressants mix with my ADHD meds before I get any prescriptions. But I think just having the therapy sessions for now will help.”
“Good. I’m so proud of you, Nath,” Marc says, stopping them in place. Nathaniel blinks as Marc cups his face with his free hand. “I really am. I love you. And I’ll keep coming to wait for you for your sessions.”
“Marc…” the artist breathes, feeling choked up. He gives a wobbly smile and says a heartfelt, “Thanks. For always being there for me.”
“You’d do that same for me,” Marc says firmly, “You already do. I—we’re partners. Okay?”
“Okay,” Nathaniel nods, before he’s leaning up to kiss Marc on the lips. Marc kisses back, quick and eager, rubbing Nathaniel’s cheek with his thumb. Nathaniel finds himself melting from the kiss, from the unconditional love and support.
It’s different, to be going to therapy. To have someone so completely and utterly supportive of him seeking help. But it’s a good change.
Nathaniel is different now than he was back then when they first met. He’s finally happy. He’s healing.
Nathaniel is a different person, and he loves himself more than he ever has before. And no matter the changes, Marc loves him, too.

loonathelegends : Un-shackled
Pairing: LOONA Olivia Hye x Reader
Word Count: 3011
A/N 1: Hi! It’s me again! Well, probably, I saw that no one is making some LoL-related works here, so I decided to give it a try! Hope you guys enjoy it and thank you for the support on my first fic! Have a great day ahead!
A/N 2: Again, the roles that will be portrayed here are for entertainment purposes only.
A/N 3: Expect a lot of LoL-related lingo here in these kinds of fics.
!! Trigger Warning !! : Swear Words/Strong Language, Slight Flaming
*note: flaming in this context is where a player uses insults towards an another player, unintentional or intentional.*
Tumblr media
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why is this queue taking sooo long??” she whined, the voice of Hyeju echoed around the room.
This will be your last game in your promos that will determine your fate upon emerging in another elo hell, Masters. 2-2 in your scoreboard, you already felt some butterflies in your stomach as the both of you accepted the match from a 15-minute long queue.
Hyeju, a Miss Fortune OTP whose skills and mechanics of the champion are out of this world, macrowise and microwise like she was born to be in the pro scene. Whenever her Miss Fortune is stolen or got banned, she instantly dodges the game with no hesitation, earning a whine from you every time she does it. You find it annoying but sometimes you can’t help but recommend other ADCs that she can use, yet her heart is loyal only to Miss Fortune, nothing else.
She has been your girlfriend for 4 months now, confessing to her right where the two always see each other everyday at a computer café near the end of the street and by your surprise she answered you, marking that the best day of your life as you reached Grandmasters after that.
You, whose her “support” in every ranked game you play, maintains a 60% win rate between the both of you, mainly maining Pyke, Nautilus and Leona. You always want to be the initiator or the engager, not really using enchanters since you find them boring.
“Ah! First pick! I hate it when it goes like this!”
“It’s alright Y/N, let’s just focus up.”
The countdown ticks every second, panicking on what to pick since you don’t know how to counter anybody since you’re the first pick and your Nautilus and Pyke got banned.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
“Ah, uhm, Ahh”
5, 4, 3 ,2
An idea suddenly popped in your head at the last second. You are fond of experimenting off-meta picks as you find it interesting, ignoring the fact that mostly they trashtalk about your pick and then flaming you endlessly. Most likely, you are giving everything you could whenever playing ranked games yet this time, it’s your first time picking this champion and using it in your promos.
“No more cages!”
*keyboard and mouse clicks*
“S- sy- Sylas? Y/N? This i-is our p-promos..”
“Uhhh, Hye, just t-trust me, okay? I can’t pick anything and it’s good in our team comp too..”
“Y/N this is our promos!!”
“Pleaseee, I’ll do good! I promise!”
“Uhh, fine..” she disgruntledly snapped, feeling annoyed at your actions, she frowned in disbelief right after.
“Hye, I know you’re upset, the team comp is good, besides there is a lot of ultis I can steal that can be paired to you, we’re good in teamfights, trust me.” you said calmly, encouraging her to think positive and hoping to plant a grin on her face. She just nodded coldly. You know that her mood has changed with your abrupt pick and you are using Sylas as a Support. You’re completely fine with it as it is her normal mood whenever playing, especially in her promos.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!”
All of you ran off the fountain as the game started as well as the start of a series of emotions within the both of you.
“What on earth can be my support item? I’ll go Spellthief’s, fuck it.” you muttered by yourself, being mentally challenged as it’s your way to go.
After a few minutes of the usual laning phase, your jungler pinged the both of you, pathing towards bot for the hopes of a “first blood” in your favor, extending your lead in the early game.
*”On my Way” pings, more pings”
*First Blood*
“Assa!” Hyeju exclaimed, wondering right after how your new technology is working.
“They overextended without vision *smirks*, anyways, nice job!”
Your team managed to kill their Rell, earning 400 gold in Hyeju’s pocket, with also your assist gold that made a nice lead for the game.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 minutes in, first turret in your favor and a 2.4k gold lead, yet their jungler managed to sneakily kill the Rift Herald and get it, getting a glimpse of the possible scenarios that they can do with the Herald.
“I’m sure they are dropping it in Mid, getting a prio for a few minutes and getting a lead in mid lane..” you muttered, signaling Hyeju to go to mid lane to contest the towers, maybe resulting in a teamfight.
“Okay, I’ll steal Tristana’s ult, Kennen may flank and target the backline, just getting her ult just in case.”
“Okay, Y/N, getting on it, I’m sure tha- AHH!” Hyeju exclaimed as the scream screeched and echoed to your ears, you predicted the future as the Kennen did flank, making a gruesome dent to your health bars. Luckily, you have a stopwatch and so does Hyeju but in exchange with your midlaner at the process. You managed to front line in the teamfight yet got killed right after, ranting about the lack of sustain as your champion got countered as well as your jungler.
Despite losing the teamfight, Hyeju got a double kill as their midlane was forced to go back to defend with a successful macro and push by your Sion, making a pressure in the toplane.
As the time goes on, everyone is now rotating as the objectives are getting contested and crucial because the drake is Infernal. Making a strategic move, your team didn’t contest the two dragons as you guys wanted what the soul is and also hoping to obtain all of the drakes to maximize its full power.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
35 minutes in, Hyeju starts getting frustrated and ranted as your allied midlaner is starting to throw as well as your jungler who died in a span of 2 minutes.
“These fucking people don’t learn, oh my gosh! Are these people blind or what?”
“Hye, calm down, calm down, let’s just stay positive okay? We’ll wi-”
“Y/N! I’m not calming down if they never learn!! Like, what the fuck are they trying to do? Get a lead then ego it all along and then die like, what’s the point of doing it? I don’t get these people!”
You know that she reached her boiling point, it’s common for her and you to be angry in these kinds of situations but you never saw her rage like this, maybe because it is both your promos? Is she sick of these kinds of players? You’ll never know unless you find out.

You tried your best to calm her down but it didn't work, so you just decided to focus on the game, not wanting the conflict to escalate further.
*intense keyboard and mouse clicking, sound of the A/C buzzing audibly*
“Please focus the Tristana, Pleaseeee! Arghhh!”
“We’re trying Hye, I’m trying too.”
“I know Y/N, I know, this Viktor is just a pain in the ass, he’s so shit in the game! Just standing there in teamfights not doing anything, he’s so scared to even walk up while he is full HP. Like, what the fuck? Are these fucking people boosted or what? Just walk up and do something!.” again, she ranted about that Viktor for the umpteenth time. You are powerless to do anything but just nodding and shotcalling her to play it off.
*intense keyboard and mouse clicking*
After a few minutes, you guys try to contest Baron as the enemy starts to ward and deward the place, signaling a possible teamfight.
You tried to ward and deward the vicinity around Baron, signaling your midlaner to poke as the Sion split-pushes in bot lane, applying pressure as their midlane recalled to defend. You tried to stop it but it was too late, your champion didn't have any long-ranged skillshots to deny her recall as you’re the only one near her.
As you saw their Tristana out of position, you E-flashed for a possible kill, and it did pay off, earning ah 1k shutdown to Hyeju and earning a big lead in your team as they lost firepower and was forced to go back as your whole team killed the Baron right after. They didn’t contest the fight since they are outpowered as their Kennen don’t have an ult, gambling a possible kill from Hyeju but he failed, but removing her flash for 5 minutes.
“Yes!! That was worth it! Nice work!”
“Nice work Y/N and the Sion split-pushes as he should, that’s a great macro play..” she said, earning a little grin from that fight. You really know how to make your girlfriend smile despite the situation as she’s your knight and shining armor and willing to protect and entertain her every time, off or in game.
After that Baron fight, your team managed to get a fat lead that made a dent in the gold charts by the push in all lanes, jungle camps and macrowise actions.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 minutes in, both of you are mentally exhausted as the game is still going as your team successfully got all four Infernal Drakes and the Infernal Soul and all are in their full builds. In all of the chances of a supposedly finished game, both teams didn’t manage to get it as if their luck were still rolling the dice, intensifying the match yet draining all of your brain juices.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Just end this fucking game, damnit, I’m exhausted.”
“Me too Y/N, but these people won’t.”
Both of you uttered with a delirious tone, not wanting to go any further but you can’t stop the inevitable. The both of you tried to give your best in the team fights, macro and micro plays but in this minute, whoever wins the teamfight will be victorious all throughout, and the both of you want it in your favor.
“If we engage first, we’ll win and if they do, they’ll win.” you brainstormed yourself with some possible strategies to win the game and you don’t want to lose and get tilted right after.
You tried finding the possible angle for a teamfight but you're still aware of a Kennen flank, doubling up the caution as you reminded Hyeju and pings the Kennen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ward there and there, farsights all over the place, until you see that there’s no vision in the tribush as you tried to facecheck until something happened.
The Kennen and Rell surprised you as the Kennen flanked and made its wall to the backline. Flash-Hextech Rocketbelt-R-E, that champion made a dent in your healthbars while Rell did her job too, following up the damage of the Tristana and Syndra. Luckily, you managed to steal Rell’s ultimate to prevent the engagement of being a hundred-percent successful as Diana ults for the further prevention. An intense teamfight has been going on as Hyeju ulted in a safe distance, also managing to make a dent in their healthbars as you did a good effort in the teamfight yet dying in the process as well as your Diana and Viktor who finally did something despite his bad performance this game and giving the Diana a kill as well as Hyeju.
Three of the enemies are standing strong whilst it’s only Hyeju willing to defend the base as you know what Sion will do, a backdoor in their base. Hyeju tries with all her might for a possible hold in your defenses.
Guardian Angel popped and Hyeju just died in a blink of an eye. After that, the enemy marches through your final defenses, up through your Nexus.
They didn’t tend to recall as they challenge your team in a base race, hoping a possible gamble as the Top prio made Sion’s life easier yet both of you trembled, praying that your team will win the base race.
All you can do is just watch as your death timers are still high, not enough to defend as all of you watched the race and so did your hearts race too. Your hands are cold as you focus to watch it further, ravaging through their bases and thanks to Hulbreaker, Sion can deal more damage to their turrets and nexuses.
1, 2, 3
Inhibitors done, two towers left at your end as course through, breaking in it like it's a piece of paper.
One turret left at the enemy before the nexus splits open.
4, 5, 6
All of your towers are done, you closest to respawn with 5 seconds at your timer, you grunted as it is not enough, the enemy dealing immense damage to your turrets as they damage your nexus.
Sion is also damaging their nexus, almost halfway through as the both of your mouths hang and shivered.
7, 8, 9
Only one-third left in your Nexus as well as in the enemy's as the last second ticked.
10
“...”
“...”
*sound of the Nexus being destroyed*
"Defeat"
That word. That word that crumbled your insides. That word that made you lose your temper. That word that made you think that everything you’d done, is now gone, reduced in atoms. So many things that can be described in that word that you can’t possibly think of. You’re not even tilted or mad, you’re just frozen upon the act as you know everybody gave their best but it wasn’t in your favor.
The red imagery of that word illuminates on your screen as you are stunned. No, Sion’s damage wasn’t good enough, not enough for an auto attack to finish the enemy’s Nexus. No, maybe Sion should have joined the teamfight instead for your team’s victory. So many things are boggling in your head as your head brainstormed the possible ways that can make you win but it was too late.
Hyeju, on the other hand, smashes the desk then leaves right after, unshackling the rage that is still kept inside her. You let out a deep and discontented sigh, still processing what just happened. Hyeju let out a scream, scream of discontent and frustration as the both of you gave it all yet it wasn’t enough.
You then held Hyeju’s wrist as you apologized for your pick earlier, knowing that her frustration is one of your greatest regrets now that you didn’t prove her anything. You felt embarrassed as she held off you, knowing that you destroyed her promos and felt guilty for what you’ve done as you saw her, lurking in the corner of the balcony, heads down.
“Hye, Hye, I’m sorry okay.. I gave it all but it wasn’t enough. I admit, I did troll, I’m sorry..”
She didn’t respond, only giving you a sheepishly cold glare. You frowned as you pouted your lips right after, knowing a response from her is futile.
Just as you’re going to leave her, she muttered a phrase, almost inaudible to hear as you stopped.
“Try it, Y/N..”
“Wha-”
She cut you mid-sentence as she pulled you in for a kiss, in your lips. Soft, passionate and simple, that’s how you would describe her kiss as she pulled out right after.
“I said try it, again.”
“Wh-what am I going t-to try a-again?” you stuttered while asking her as your cheeks gone redder than a tomato and a smile printed on your face. Yeah, she really did know how to make you blush.
“What you’ve picked earlier, I know you’re good at it.”
“Sy- Sylas? I thought you were m-”
Again, she cut you off, this time leaning you over the wall and then kissing your lips again as you are blushing so hard that Hyeju noticed it and teased you right after.
“You’re blushing again Y/N *giggles*, besides I don’t mind it at all, I’m not mad, in fact, I loved to see you experimenting again.”
You smiled as you sigh in relief that she wasn’t mad at you, maybe a spell occurred in her that made her calm like that. Weird yet you’re not complaining about it.
“Hye?”
“What?”
“I’m sorry about that, It wasn’t really intentional and don’t rage like that, geez, getting worried about you..”
“Y/N, All of the things I said are unintentional, what do you mean? I'm just concerned with their skills, that’s all!”
She smiled as she smirked right after, unpinning you as the two of you coursed your way for an another match.
“Aww, Y/N is starting to be concerned to me *giggles* . Besides, I’m fine with it unless you play bad!” she jokingly muttered as she poked your back as you jocularly glared at her as you poked her back.
“Y/N!”
“Sorry! *giggles*”
“Anyways, one more match?”
“Sure, as long as we don’t get matched with that Viktor from our last game..” she joked as the both of you giggled right after. You felt that she was in a good mood again to play as the both of you queued in again.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!”
“Ah shit, here we go again..”

Sonia for ask?
SONIA MY BABYGIRL!!!!! oh my goodness i am in love with her <3 one of my favourite girls of the whole danganronpa series, what a sweetheart!! answering all of my opinions on her was so fun i loved it
favourite thing about them: i love how strong she is, like, how much she can stand up for herself!! she is confident and wonderful and strong, and her design is very polished in my opinion, her dress suits her so well and i love the colours (and also she is very pretty) (i would like to kiss her) (she is also very beautiful) (did i mention how pretty she is)
least favourite thing about them: hmmm, to be honest, in general i don't like when characters exist as a big reference to something else. if you didn't know, sonia is based on the band nirvana: novoselic is the surname of someone in the band, nevermind is one of their albums, and in utero (written on her uniform) is another album. i love sonia so much, and it's just a shame she's based on something i have no interest in, yknow? however i love to ignore all of that lol because nevermind and novoselic are pretty and european sounding anyway so they fit her nicely, so it's not a big deal. just wish the words had been come up with a different way really. but YEAH i love her design regardless :) my silly little gal
favourite line: i am not some woman with flexible legs!! that makes me giggle a lot :) in general i love her weird little semi broken english phrases and slang, she's so silly
brotp: i like her being friends with fuyuhiko!! my silly lil blondes :) also like her with all of the girls except hiyoko to be honest (she can get in the trash)
otp: bit of a rare pair from what ive seen buuut soniaki!!! her and chiaki are so cute together :) so sweet and fluffy, i love imagining/writing/drawing them! also it works really well with soudam in my opinion so that's a plus :)
notp: i know it's a very popular one, but i cannot stand sondham :( i get why other people like it though, so no judgement or hate at all if you like them!! i just very strongly see her and gundham as best best best friends, and it makes me feel gross to think of them romantically together. they are both just so gay to me!!!! the gayest bffs of all time. and i love imagining them help each other out with their individual relationship issues and crushes :)
random headcanon: she is a hopeless romantic, she loves to talk about crushes, and valentine's day is definitely her favourite holiday! she wants her and her friends to all have wonderful happy fairy tale endings
unpopular opinion: i've seen people say she was useless in the games before and that the plot would be basically the same if she wasn't there, but that's not true in my opinion! she saw hiyoko in ch3, her and gundham at the end of ch4 is impactful, and in ch5 she's suspicious when she's looking through the military stuff etc and if i remember correctly she tries to take the blame off of chiaki in the trial, right? and probably other stuff im too empty-brained to remember right now lol. and besides, her interactions with kaz and gundham add comic relief so! :) she is very important to me and the game would not be the same without her
a song i associate with them: this question is so hard omg, but im doing my best. here's a song that makes me think of sonia and chiaki together! just a generic love song really, nothing specific to them but it makes me think of them <3
favourite picture of them: she's so PRETTY i could literally say any oh my goodness. for sprites i'll say the one where she's holding her bicep like💪 lol then for pictures i'll say these :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also love the one of her on the ch4 roller coaster though and as with kaz, i like all of those anime screenshot things like the picnic and there's one of her, kaz and gundham by the fountain under a rainbow, etc
thank you for asking about her!!! <3<3 and if anyone else would like to send in another character then please feel free!! this is fun :)

For the ask: IDW or G1 Soundwave please :)
Okey! A bit of a disclaimer. There is much of IDW1 I have yet to read… like every thing before the death of optimus prime, and I have watched G1 just once, so instead of picking one, I am doing both, but just answering for the ones I feel I really can give answers to!
favorite thing about them
G1: Funny enough… His rivalry with Blaster. Just Imagine this single dad having to listen to EVERY SINGLE decepticon Comm unit, take care of his kids, and the only thing that he has to blow steam (not counting killing autobots- plus other stuff I’ll explain later) is making this red DJ know he is better than him. I love a good petty king.
IDW: … Wow, I am, where to beging? I know I am missing all the early stuff, but… Gosh, It kills me how loyal he is to the decepticon goal… I just… There is something so soft in IDW Soundwave that I don’t know how to describe.… He is admirable, and so noble, while still being that piece of scrap I love to pieces, you get it? I can’t even-
least favorite thing about them
G1: … Dont know, pal. Classics does no wrong.
IDW: … Okey, So I wouldn’t say that I 'don't like' this next point, but rather that it deeply pains me in ways I am no sure I can explain… but it is the fact that he doesn’t like music… And I understand why and…. idk man… makes me sad.
favorite line
G1:… About EVERYTHING that dude says is music to my ears, so I can't choose... but honestly? those moments when he is talking with one of the cassettes and he sounds a bit anxious????? YES
IDW: Dont think I have one for him in IDW… yet…
brOTP
G1:… Blaster…. Okey… OKEY, I know I said I loved their rivalry… But HEAR ME OUT!!… What if they were friends?…. and that’s why I have my roomates au
IDW: … I really like to think he and Cosmos are amica endura….
OTP
Okey, so… Is the same person in every continuity, but for different reason, (Except TFA I don’t know how I would work out that ship in that show… yet…)
G1: … Is Jazz… Jazz/Soundwave.… While I see TFP Jazzwave as reluctant allies to enemies to lovers… G1 Is just lovers who pick oposite sides, are angry at eachother, but, hey, “we are still meeting in the fountain for cuddles at 3?” “Soundwave: will be there.” just…Soft cross faction lovers… who meet each other in private just to relax form a long day of work....
IDW: Also Jazzwave, but this is a more mischievous take I guess? this is the we are enemies but I really admire/hate how good you are at what you are doing. No prewar connection, just uncontrollable crossfaction admiration that cannon could only wish to live up to. Is Jazz being attracted to danger and Soundwave hating not having the answers. Is each of them being a puzzle the other can only dream of solving.… Oh, but if they just got the chance…
nOTP
Soundwave with either Starscream or Prowl... This applies to all continuities and almost all of my favorite characters.
random head canon
G1: Some times Soundwave hacks radio stations just to see how many people enjoy his music... He, Jazz and Blaster also have a special comm link that is ONLY for music, they send each other remixes all the time.
IDW: ... Look, the problem here is that I wouldn't know if it was cannon, most of what I know of IDW comes from fandom osmosis... but always though IDW Soundwave to be the type of bot to get easily overwhelmed, be it by emotional or external in put. Thats why he prefers dealing with communications and screens... It is easier to deal with.
unpopular opinion
G1: ...idk, im sorry 🥺
IDW: Look... I feel like people are always describing IDW Soundwave in particular as a brick wall in sense of emotions... and Like, I AM SORRY, but that dude cries under his mask all the time, am I really the only one that gets those vibes?? like yeah, he keeps his EM field close to his chest and all that, but behind that mask? he is listening to everything people say about him, and he is really volatile. If he takes that mask off productivity goes down 70% because he HAS to make sure his emotions are not visible, and it takes a lot out of him to do so.
song i associate with them

Solomon!
favorite thing about them
he's kinda sneaky and mysterious which i appreciate and i like his slyness and sense of humor
least favorite thing about them
i think more could be done with him and his immortality but like with a lot of things, the devs aren't capitalizing on it as much as they could be
favorite line
'i take it that you watched the human world's children's choir competition on TV?' (chat message) (it's just so random LOL)
brOTP
solomon + asmo
OTP
me + solomon
nOTP
solomon + any in game characters besides asmo or mc
random headcanon
solomon is really clumsy and has tripped and fallen into multiple fountains
unpopular opinion
i'd like to think he relies on his magic meaning he doesn't feel the need to work out so he's kinda weak jus tbc i think it's funny
song i associate with them

Kris for the character thing
kris my beloved,,,
favorite thing about them: the way they've taken this terrible and scary situation and tried to make the best of it, work around it, make sure they show their true personality whenever possible.
least favorite thing about them: their canon skin tone, same as frisk. how hard is it to just give them non-yellow skin god
favorite line: idk if the narration counts but i'm a simple narrakris believer and we don't have much other dialogue from them so "you are filled with the power of video game violence," "this is known as a dozens and dozens of shovels attack," and "you were crushed under the weight of 400 bagels and defeated instantly... not really. you just can't carry that many" are all CLASSICS
brotp: them and susie who else <3 the besties of all time
otp: i don't really ship them with anyone! though as i said krerdly's fun every once in a while
notp: them and asriel naturally. no elaboration needed. i also don't really like krusie or kriselle- those two aren't inherently bad, but... idk. they irk me, especially with the abundance of people who put kris in the "male" role in those relationships. it's not EVERYONE obviously but... eugh.
random headcanon: they and susie have hot-chocolate-chugging contests every sunday at qc's after service. who wins? yes.
unpopular opinion: i don't think they're the knight lol. just cause they opened one fountain doesn't mean they opened all of them. have you seen how difficult it is for them to get around without the soul? please tell me how they could get all the way to the library and back, in the process performing a task that requires a ton of strength and will, without it.
song i associate with them: you can always come home, darkness falls, and until next time. i have no real explanation. just... vibes, man!
favorite picture of them: that shitty toby concept art he posted to twitter this february of kris making chocolate milk. also the sprite of them in the anniversary livestream with the party hat on their head
