[ceeceetumbles]

waa i am back w a fic! first time in forever!

guess what character it's about!! yes that's right it's hekiru im obsessed with him. thank you.

warnings: this has go! go! loser ranger! manga spoilers and also threatening a little girl with physical harm. also a little bit of nervous habits that hurt urself.

this was fun to write! i love hekiru. he is a terrible person. i doubt anyone will be looking for this fic or have much reason to read it but if u do i hope u like. ^-^

/////////////////////////////

it was a hot, muggy night.

hekiru was patrolling, by himself. they trusted him to do things like this. just him, and his artifact, and the thick sweltering air. it was late. no one was really out and about at this hour. he kicked at the gravel as he walked.

his path took him by a playground. it was quiet, abandoned, empty. the equipment shone in the moonlight. he shivered and started to hurry past.

“hey,” someone called.

he froze.

the voice cycled through his brain. child, female, distant. not really a threat. he turned, slowly.

there she was. sitting on the swingset, barely moving. he saw her hair fall over her shoulder as she tilted her head.

“come here,” she called.

hekiru did not want to come here. he wanted to run away.

but she could definitely see the uniform. the weapon. she knew who he was. what he stood for. if he ran away, she could tell his higher-ups, and that would go on his record. a mark of cowardice.

well… maybe he could lie? tell them that he hadn’t ended up walking through the playground? that she was making things up for attention?

he was still debating the topic when she sighed heavily and shouted his name.

“aran hekiru! come here! shouldn’t a ranger help a civilian in need?”

his name? how did she know his name?

his heart pounded through his ears. he walked towards her. his boots crunched on the sand underneath.

“good,” the girl said, and kicked her feet. the swingset creaked.

“no one likes you,” she said.

hekiru stopped in front of her and blinked. “excuse me?”

she stared up at him. her eyes were unflinching. “no one likes you.”

hekiru scoffed. “okay? what do i care what you say? you’re just some random kid.”

she narrowed her eyes. “excuse me?”

“you heard me. goodbye.” hekiru turned and started walking away.

(his heart was racing, his chest constricting. no one? no one liked him? no one?)

(don’t listen to her, he reassured himself. of course everyone likes you! you defeated hwalipon! you saved the world!)

(and of course people are going to be jealous. you defeated hwalipon. you saved the world.)

(and of course people are going to hate you. they are going to find out, and they are going to hate you. it’s all just a big lie, isn’t it? you’re shaky, pedaling on a tightrope ten stories above a flaming vat of oil. you liar. you fraud.)

“i’ll tell them!” she yelled after him. “i’ll call the rangers and i’ll tell them you left me here, by myself, in an abandoned playground in the middle of the night! i’ll cry!”

he gritted his teeth. this kid - !

“little brat,” he growled as he stomped back over to her. “c’mon. let’s go to the police station. they can take care of you.”

“i’m not lost. i’m not going there.”

“not lost? really? so, you snuck out. and i need to get you back home.”

she stuck her tongue out at him. “i’m not going anywhere with you.”

he took a deep breath and clenched his fists at his sides.

“listen, kid, how am i supposed to help you if -”

“don’t you want to know how i know?” she cut in, dragging her sneakers on the dirt. “aren’t you curious?”

“huh? know what?”

“how i know your name. or how i know that no one likes you.”

“shut up. you don’t know that.” he gnawed on his lower lip.

“yes, i do,” she said, firmly.

“whatever. i’m not going to ask. i’m going to get you down to the police station, and -”

“my dad’s a ranger,” she said. “in blue. just like you! and he told me. he pointed at you on the tv and said, that’s aran hekiru. we all hate him. he’s a jerk. an arrogant, selfish, cowardly jerk.”

hekiru huffed. “h-he sounds jealous.” he scratched at his forearm. gloved hand on sleeved arm. he scratched harder.

“my dad’s the best ranger in all the ranger force,” she said. “you should be jealous of him.”

“oh, wow. is he junior first rank?” hekiru scratched at the back of his neck. his uniform was starting to feel too tight.

“he should be.”

his lip split. he tasted blood.

“what’s your goal in telling me this, anyways?” he crossed his arms, tucking his shaking hands against his chest. “just saw me patrolling and decided to harass me?”

“basically.” she crossed her arms back at him. “it’s my duty to stand up for what’s right.”

“h-harassing me is what’s right?”

she nodded, somber in silhouette. “my dad told me that you’ll never be brought to justice. he said there’s no proof.”

“y-your dad s-says a lot of things.”

“you’re sweating,” she said, leaning forwards. the swingset squealed. “sweating a lot. i didn’t even say what i’m talking about. but you know, don’t you? you know. he’s right.”

hekiru shook his head. “s-shut up.”

“he said he saw it all.”

“shut up! shut up!!”

“you’re a liar! and a killer!”

“SHUT UP!” hekiru shrieked, his voice shrill, tight, clipping right through the dense night air. he moved before she could even notice it.

a click, a hum, and a rush of air against her cheek. his artifact lit up a brilliant bright blue. it flashed right in her eyes. it pressed, hot, against her neck.

she sat very still.

“shut up,” he said, quiet. the artifact hummed. it threatened.

hekiru’s hands shook.

she stared at him. her eyes were dark, wet, trembling. her lips started to quiver.

“e-everyone likes me,” he whispered. “everyone loves me. i saved everyone. okay?”

her breathing shuddered.

“okay?” he insisted, shoving the artifact a little closer against her neck. she swallowed and nodded.

“good,” he huffed.

his heart pounded. he gasped for breath in the muggy night air. his ears were ringing.

he tightened his grip on the scythe.

“who’s your dad?” he said, quiet.

her eyes widened.

“n-no,” she stammered. “n-no, i’m not going to -”

“tell me.” hekiru glared. his hands shook hard. “i-i just need to know his name.”

she started to cry, harsh and choking. “i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry.”

he couldn’t hurt her. he couldn’t leave any tangible proof. and he couldn’t kill her. someone might put two and two together.

but he needed to know. he needed to know. he needed to know. he needed to know. why wouldn’t she just tell him?! why couldn’t anyone make anything easy for him?!

loose threads. loose threads. the world was getting filled with loose threads. someone in the ranger force knew. they’d seen him?? how??

he choked on his own spit. his throat tightened to a pinpoint. his hands shook so hard. so hard.

“fine,” he mumbled, lowering the artifact. “whatever. go.”

the girl’s eyes widened. finally free. she scrambled backwards off of the swing and ran, fast, her feet scrabbling against the dirt as she fled. she was crying, still. hekiru could hear her sobbing.

all of her bravado melted away the moment she saw my true power. he smirked and traced a little star in the sand with the end of his scythe.

he’d give her a head start. enough time that she wouldn’t realize he was following her. no doubt she’d run straight home after something like this.

ugh, these loose threads. he shook his head and clicked his artifact onto his back again.

aran hekiru had saved the world. that was the truth. the truth.

he couldn’t let anyone say otherwise.

sᴏᴜʟᴍᴀᴛᴇs

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢs; ᴍᴀᴛᴛʜᴇᴏ ʀɪᴅᴅʟᴇ x ʜᴜғғʟᴇᴘᴜғғ!ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ

ᴀ/ɴ; ᴛʜɪs ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ʙᴇ ᴀ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴏɴᴇ...

When I first saw her, I knew she was made for me, I didn't even know her name. I only knew she was a Hufflepuff because of her yellow robes. I was in the forbidden forest, trying to clear my head after a stressful day at Hogwarts. I watched her from a distance behind an oak tree. She was helping an injured Acromantula, petting its head as she whispered a healing spell. The first time I ever saw an Acromantula was in the first year, I had just snuck out of the castle, trying to avoid flinch as I made my way to the forest, I knew I wasn't allowed but I went anyways, unsure of the hidden dangers that lurk within the forest. I was around 50 feet deep in the forest, just exploring, fidgetting with my wand even though I barely knew any good spells yet. That's when I heard a clicking sound, I turned around and saw a giant spider it's big giant black, lifeless eyes piercing into my soul. It's fuzzy legs making it's way closer to me. I screamed as I ran, running towards the castle with my little legs. Up until my 3rd year, I never went back to the forest until I had a huge fight with my best friend Theo, I can't even remember what caused the fight.

I coutine to watch her lips quirk up into a smile as the Acromantula waddles off. Gosh, her smile is perfect. I don't know what I'm doing, thirsting over some beautiful girl I've never even seen!?

In my life, I've never had a crush before. Sure, I've hooked up with pretty much half of the schools female population, but i didn't feel anything special with any of them. The next day, they would come back begging for me, but I would just shut the door on that. I craved real sex with something I loved and actually had feelings for, but once my father told me that love is weak and that love makes you vulnerable. So I just voluntily gave up on love, and anything to do with it.

Until I laid eyes on her.

The most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on.

I mean the way her hair effortlessly flows over her shoulder, the way her face lights up when she smiles, the way she is so caring to animals.

I coutine to watch her as I accidentally step on a twig, resulting in a loud cracking sound. She turns head, standing up, pointing her wand in front of her. I mumble a quick swear as I dash behind that tree. Thankfully, the trunk was big enough to cover my whole body. "Hello?" She speaks. Her voice is beautiful. Her voice is very light and careful. I make a bold move and step out from behind the tree, my hands dug in my pocket. "Hi." I mumble. "Hi?" She questions, still positioning her wand at me. "I'm sorry for scaring you." I say, looking up at her, her eyes looking at me, I get lost in her eyes for a quick second, almost hypnotized by them. "Uh, it's fine. What are you doing here?" She says, lowering her wand. "I come here on occasion, just to clear my mind." I say, leaning against the tree. "Oh, me too. I come here around once a month." She states, placing her wand in her robe pocket. "So, uh..what's your name?" I can't believe it. I just stuttered. In front of this mystery girl.

"It's Y/n, Y/n L/n, what about you?" She asks, tying her hair into a quick ponytail. "Mattheo, Mattheo Riddle." I say quickly. Hopefully, I don't scare her away. My last name usually has that effect on people. Her lips part. Oh shit. "Mattheo.. Riddle." She repeats, her name sounds good coming out of her mouth. I wait a few long seconds before she smiles. "Cool." She says. I'm honestly shocked. Most hufflepuffs are scared of me. Maybe she's different from the rest. "Im going to go now, it's getting late, hopefully I'll see you soon, L/n." I smile, giving her a nod before walking off. "Yeah..s-see you soon." She says, her breath hitching. "Bye." She murmurs.

And that's when I knew she was meant to be mine. And I was meant to be hers.

-

I enter the forest after completing a homework assignment, and I usually come to the forest for fun. I know i wasn't supposed to be here, but hey! You only live once. Life is meant for taking risks. I hum to myself, then I see an injured Acromantula on the ground, its leg tangled within a vine of some sort, a thorn piercing into his leg. I get out my wand as I cast a spell to destroy the vine, turning it to ash. The spider comes free as I whisper a healing spell to help with its cut. I pet the Acromantulas head as it leaves. Then I heard a twig snap, I instantly stood up, holding my wand in defense in case it was a threat. I wait for a moment, my heart practically beating out of my chest. "Hello..?" I question, my voice echoing. I wait a few fair seconds before someone comes out from behind a tree. I recognize the boy. He's in Slytherin, I believe. He's one of the popular boys, I've never actually talked to him before. But wow, he's really handsome. I'm usually not one to thirst over anyone, but wow, this boy is gorgeous. I observe his face, I see a bunch of scars on his face, and a fresh one lays on his nose bridge. Hopefully, he's not one of those boys who gets into fights often. His curls sit over his face perfectly.

"Hi." He mutters, his hands in his pocket. "Hi..?" I answer back, still pointing my wand at him. "I'm sorry for scaring you." He says, his voice is low and deep, but still warm in a way. "Uh, it's fine..what are you doing here?" I say, lowering my wand slightly, but it's still pointing at him in case he makes a sudden move. "I come here on occasion, just to clear my mind." He responds. We have a lot in common already. "Oh, me too, I come here around once a month." I exclaim, placing my wand in my robes pocket. "So, uh, what's your name?" He asks me. I introduce myself, i grab a hair tie from my wrist, and I tie my hair into a ponytail.

He clears his throat. "Mattheo, Mattheo Riddle." I want to gasp, but I don't because that's rude. Instead, I raise my eyebrows. I always knew Voldemorts' son went to Hogwarts, but I never really paid attention to that. I remember his friend group, I knew one of the boys in the popular Slytherin friend group was Mattheo Riddle, but I never figured out who. I didn't have the guts to go talk to them to figure it out. My friends talked about him a few times, constantly ranting about how hot and mysterious he is. I often found myself yawning at their conversations about him. But now, now I see the appeal about him. He's truly breathtaking. "Mattheo.. Riddle." I repeat his name. "Cool." I say, pouting my lips into a smile. There's an awkward slience for a few minutes before he clears his throat. "Im going to go now. It's getting late, hopefully I'll see you soon, L/n." He smiles before walking off. "Y-yea, see you soon." I try to smile back. Oh gosh, i stuttered in front of him, I wish I could just climb in a hole and stay in it. "Bye." I mutter but he already left.

When I got back to my dorm, I found myself unable to sleep, I was constantly tossing and turning in my bed, which is werid because I usually found myself being able to sleep with ease. Mattheo had flooded my mind. He's been the main thing I've been thinking about. I keel replaying the moment in the forest over and over again. My heart beating everytime I think of him.

I've only had one other crush in my life, that being Cedric Diggory. That crush was short-lived when I found out he liked Cho Chang. They he was later found dead at the Triwizard tournament. I held in my emotions since I hadn't told anyone about my crush on him, I waited until we were dismissed to our dorms. That's when I cried.

I let out a tired sigh as I turned to the other side in my bed, bringing my blanket close to me, snuggling up. After what feels like forever, I drift off to sleep.

-

I lay in bed, completely dumbstruck, holding a cigarette to my lip, blowing out the smoke, holding my journal against my chest. I don't write in my journal that often, only if I'm feeling either mad or stressed. I take another drag from my cigarette before putting it in my ashtray on my bedside table. I take my pen and mark the date before starting my entry.

It's me again, I'm completely dumbstruck. I was going to the forest to go on a walk, then that's when I saw her. The most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on. Like how is it even possible to look that good!? And guess what, I found myself stuttering in front of her. It's bloody insane how she has that effect on me even though we just met. It's like she melted my icy exterior. I feel like I've always known her. Like she was meant to be mine. Hopefully, I'll be able to see her again...

Usually, I don't go to the great hall at breakfast. It wasn't worth the constant stares and whispers. But tomorrow, I would push myself to go, just to see her. I close my journal and throw it somewhere on the ground before covering myself with my blanket before dosing off.

When I woke up the next morning, my heart felt heavy. The first thought on my mind was her, and how badly I wanted to see her. I decided to try my best to boost my appearance since I still have time before breakfast, I decided to take a short shower, making sure to use extra body wash and conditioner. Once I got out of the shower, I sprayed on my favorite colange.

-

I woke up with a giant yawn, stretching my arms above my head. I blink into reality, realizing I have to get ready for school. But before I go to my bathroom, I need to water my plants. I look outside my window and smile to the sunrise. I've always preferred the sunrise over the sunset. The sunrise indicated a new day; a new start from the previous day, I've always appreciated that. I walk to my bathroom, I take in my appearance in the mirror, yesh, I have bad bed head. My hair was extremely tangly. After I brush my hair and tie my hair into a half up - half down hairdo. I do my usual routine of spraying my vanilla bodymist, washing my face, brushing my teeth, putting on some light makeup. I put on some blush, dabbing it onto my cheek, and some mascara. I smile at my slightly more acceptable appearance.

My mind focuses on Mattheo. My heart begins to race as my stomach floods with butterflies flying around. I brace myself and begin to walk to the great hall. On my way I go to my friends dorm so we can walk together.

"Hi, Y/n!" She smiles warmly. "Hi!" I say back as we begin to walk to the great hall together. "Your hair looks pretty today." She compliments, tossing my hair in her hand. "Thank you." I giggle, "Your hair looks cute as well." I answer. She's wearing two braids, her usual hairstyle. "Eh, it's nothing special." She shurgs as we enter the great hall. The smell of fresh foods flooded my senses, entering my nostrils. I breathe in deeply as I see Mattheo sitting down, laughing with his friends.. What could he be laughing about? It think to myself as we sit down at our usual spots at the table, being greeted with friendly waves and smiles. "Hi guys." I mutter, sitting down, looking down at all the food on the table. I furry my eyebrows as I scan the table. That's when my eyes stopped on the French toast. I grab a slice as I plop it on my plate. I also grab an orange. I look up across from me to see Mattheo talking with his Slytherin friends. My lips part as I coutine to stare. Gosh, he was beautiful. The way the morning sunlight highlighted his face!? The way the curls fell perfectly onto his face!? The way he smi-

"Y/n!" I close my mouth as I snap my head to my friends. "What are you doing!?" She asks. "Oh, uh, nothing." I lie. "You're staring at something...or someone." She states, raising her eyebrows. "No, I'm not!" I protest, nudging her. As she's distracted with another conversation, I look back at Mattheo, who's already staring at me, drinking out of his mug slowly. I notice his fingers have rings on them. Gosh, that was hot. I looked back at my plate, so it wasn't obvious I was trying to peek at him. But my eyes disobey me as I sneak a peek at him, my eyes widen as he suddens looks at me back, The water from his mug dripping down his chin, he still maintains eye contact with me. After a second, he realizes his cheeks turn red as he looks down, wiping his chin.

-

My eyes land on Y/n as she enters the hall with her friend. Her hair looks gorgeous. It's almost like the room got brighter as she walked in. I take in a deep, shakey breath as she sits down, her hair flowing effortlessly. I don't like to stare, but I can't help it. She's perfect.

She's like a statue - a painting.

Thedore nudges me. "Why are you staring at the Hufflepuff table?" He laughs. "Shut up. No, i wasn't." I lie, scoffing, as my eyes instantly go back to her. She's laughing with her friends. What was she laughing about?

I coutine to look at him, then her eyes suddenly meet mine. Before I know what I'm doing, I feel water spilling onto my lap. I snap out of my trance and realize that I spilled water all over myself. I swear to myself as I try to wipe as much water as i can.

"Yo, mate, are you alright!?" Blaise questions. "Yeah..fine..I'm fine." I reply. "Somethings up." Theo says, as my best friend, I guess it's his job to check up on me. "I kinda.. like..have a crush.." I admit, squeezing my eyes shut. "What!? Who!?" Draco buds in. "Shutupdraco!" Theodore chuckles. "Uh, her name is Y/n. I doubt you guys know her." Dracos eyes widen. "I was paired up with her once. She's pretty nice, I suppose." Draco shurgs, taking a bite of his toast. "Wait, don't tell me you came here just to see her!" Blaise gasps. I nod slowly. "Yeah.. I woke up extra early, and I took a shower and everything." Thedore giggles. "You must be really in love then." He mumbles. "I guess.. Yeah." I say, peeking at her again. To my surprise, she's around looking at me. She's talking to her friend.

Oh gosh.

She's probably laughing at me.

"I should probably go now.." I pause. "Seeyouguyslater!" I say, standing up pretty much running out of the great hall.

-

I see Mattheo run out of the great hall, I wonder what's wrong..? After we eat, we both start walking towards our dorm to collect our books for our next classes. Luckily, our dorm is so close to the kitchen. Whenever I'm hungry, i usually sneak into the kitchen, then elves really like me. They give me free pastry's all the time.

As we're walking to our next lesson in the crowded corridors, I see Mattheo. My eyes make their way to him as he walks. He holds his books tightly. He then looks over at me. I freeze, just standing there, my friend unknowingly walking away. Mattheo.. he also..freezes? He's on the opposite side of the hallway. Kids rush to their next classes, and I stand on my tipy toes to maintain eye contact with him as the flood of kids walk by, chattering. It was like no one was watching us. It was just us in our own little world. Then, one of his friends came up to him, shaking his shoulder.

"Yo, Mattheo, what are you doing!?" He says the rest of their conversation is inaudible, as the crowd dies down, I begin to speed walk to my next class, still confused about what just happened.

-

After all my classes, I headed back to my dorm, sighing, my heart feeling quite heavy. The hallway interaction with Y/n was all i could think about, i mean, it was just us staring at each other! We have an undeniable tension between us.

At 11 p.m., I lay in bed. My mind was still thinking about her. And only her. I was completely and utterly in love with her. Even though we just met, i was obsessed with her. And i wanted her so bad - no. I needed her.

I tossed again in bed, slamming my head into my pillow. You know what, screw this. I think I got up, grabbed a pack of half used cigarettes, and my Walkman. I make my way up to the astronomy tower, like the forest, i usually come up here when I'm either bored, can't sleep, or if I'm stressed. I make my ways up the tall stairs, placing the headphones onto my head. I walk over to the railing, leaning against it, watching the night sky, the stars shining bright. My eyes make their ways down to the forest, I smile at the memory of yesterday night, the way her eyes light up when she saw the spider crawl again, healed.

My lips curl into a soft smile as I chuckle to myself at the thought. I took a deep breath as I pictured her in my mind. Her perfect face, her smile.

I imagine us in a relationship, I've never been in a relationship or never longed for one, but she makes me crave one. I want to touch her, feel her, suck in every detail of her. I want to know her interests, her life, every single thing.

I then hear footsteps making their way up the stairs, i turn around, removing my headphones, allowing them to rest behind my neck.

That's when i see her.

Y/n.

"Uh, Y/n." I smile awkwardly. She looks up, she's in her pajamas, a white tank top, and soft pink pajamas pants, her hair tied into a lazy hairdo. Her eyes widen as they land on mine. "Oh, hi, sorry I didn't expect anyone to be here." She mutters, stepping back, fidgeting. "Oh, no, it's alright, you can stay." I smile warmly, she smiles back, her smile is bright. "Thank you, Mattheo." She says, walking towards the railing. I'm also in my pajamas, a gray tight shirt, and blue pajamas pants. She looks down at the night sky, her lips parting as her eyes widen with a sparkle. "Beautiful, isn't it?" I say, placing the cigarette box deeper in my pocket, I could tell by the way her nose scrunched up at the smell of the smoke.

"What are you doing up here?" I say. "Can't sleep." She responds. "Same here." I sigh, knowing I couldn't sleep because of her.

"Hey, uh, not too offend you, but what was that at breakfast?" She giggles. "Oh, shit.. that," I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. "I was too busy staring at you to realize that the cup was missing ny mouth completely." I mutter. "At me?" She says, eyes gleaming with confusion. "Uh, yeah..I'm sorry I wa-" Her voice suddenly cuts me off. "Don't apologize!" She smiles "It was cute." She admits.

Did..did she just call me..cute!? My face turns into a deep crimson red as i laugh the awkwardness off. "Thank you, I guess." I pout. She giggles again, her laugh is so cute.

"Don't be too embarrassed, I was staring at you too." She says fast. Her cheeks also turned red. "You were?" I question, I knew she was staring, but I thought she was just staring back because I was staring at her.

"Hey, I'm hungry, wanna go to the kitchen?" She asks. "Kitchen?" I reply. "Yeah, the Kitchen." She says, shooting her hands up into a shurg. "Uh, sure! Why not." I chuckle. "Great, c'mon!" She says, grabbing my hand lightly. I feel my heart beating out of my chest. I've never been to the kitchen before, nor heard of it before.

As we arrive in the kitchen, a giant painting of a fruit lays in front of a door. She tickles the pear, and the door suddenly opens. "Shit, that's loud." She mumbles, her hand still on mine. "Let's be quick." She states as I nod, we enter the kitchen to be greeted with a bunch of elves. "Hi, you guys!" She greets. "Miss Y/n!" The elves squeal.

"The usual please, and double it." She smiles, patting an elves' head. A minute later, the elves come back with a plate of delicious smelling goods, two cream filled pastries, and two donuts. "Thank you, this looks delicious.

"Wait, Miss Y/n, can you and the guy help us with a task!" The elf says, frowning. "Uh, of course, what is it?"

"Winky wants you to carry a bag of flour from the storage room. It is too heavy for us elves." She weeps. "Up for the challenge, Mattheo?" She asks. "Definitely." I smile as we run towards the storage room, grabbing a huge heavy bag of flour. "Three, two, one." I say, picking up the flour bag. "I understand why the elves couldn't do it." She groans. Then I felt my leg tug on something, "Oh shit!" I mumble, as i feel myself trip, spilling the bag all over the ground, and most importantly, ourselves. We both hit the ground with an oof, "You're all white!" She giggles. "You are too!" I giggle back, I stand up and help her up.

"Thanks." She says, brushing herself off.

She walks up to the elf and frowns. "Sorry, Winky, we weren't able to do it. Next time a professor comes here, tell them to help you, okay? We have to go to avoid trouble." She smiles. "It's alright, Miss Y/n! Winky will miss you!" The elf says in a high pitched tone.

"Okay, let's go now!" She says as I nod, grabbing her hand. We're both covered in flour. I look down to see Flinchs cat, Ms. Norris. Which means he's coming. "Y/n, look, Ms Norris." I mutter. "We have to go! Run!" She says, as I hear Flinchs recognizable footsteps. I grab her hand and dash to the nearest closet. When I found one, I quickly opened the door and shoved us both into it, holding her mouth closed as I listened with my ear.

"Is it safe?" She says, pulling her hand off me. "I think." I say. I reach to open the door, but her hand stops me, grabbing my wrist. "Wait, stay." She mumbles. I look up at her, she looks up at up her eyes gleaming with something I can't tell.

"Kiss me, Mattheo." She says, my eyes widen. "W-what!?" I reply. "Please." She murmurs. How can I say no to her? Plus, i wanted to, like I really wanted to.

I grab her flour corved face, we both lean in, i grab her waist as we kiss. The kiss is everything I've ever craved. It's sweet, gentle, and perfect. Usually, when I kiss girls, it's rough and per lust. I wanted my first real kiss to be just like this, with someone I genuinely liked.

She pulls back and looks at my face, her puppy dogs looking up at me. She takes her finger and rubs the remaining flour off my face. I do the same for her.

"Thank you, Mattheo." She smiles widely. "You're welcome." I chuckle back.

"I guess I'll.. see you tomorrow..?" She says, going in front of me, her hand grasping onto the door handle. I kiss her again. "Sure." I say as she leaves. The second she leaves, i spin, holding my heart. What just happend!?

A/n; ahhh!! Fluff!! This is so so so cute, I absolutely loved writing this and I love this trope! My requests are always open :)

PART 2..? ;)

[bug-bites]

batfam beach episode?? real not clickbait no glue no borax??

cw: nothing! pure vacation beach fluff (p≧w≦q) also barely proofread,,,

pairing: gn!reader x batfam (NOT ALL AT ONCE.)

characters: dick grayson, jason babygirl todd, cassandra cain, tim drake, damian wayne (all intended to be interpreted as either romantic or platonic unless its damian. ik in some comic runs he's like an adult but hes like permanently 12 in my head and i dont fw that :/)

a/n: im back with a new dc obsession tee hee (soz to everyone who wanted more abt the cod guys or spiderverse im comicsmaxxing and redhoodpilled) will probably make a part 2 w/ bruce, babs, steph, and duke eventually :3c

Dick Grayson haha dick

oh he loves the beach so much

the sand beneath his feet make him feel nostalgic from when he would practice tumbling with his parents in the circus ring i think there's sand in circus rings right? I dunno someone fact check me on that one

the victim of being buried in the sand, always asks for a mermaid tail but ends up with something like massive sand tits (courtesy of either tim or jason), he laughs it off anyways

somehow gets the worst tan lines. He wore a swim shirt one time and never again because the tan lines looked SO BAD which is a total shame because he tans gorgeously

will beg to do play shoulder wars i have no clue if this is the right name, again fact check me for this thing where you get a piggyback ride from someone and you try to knock someone whos also getting a piggyback ride over in the water

you’re on his shoulders since bro is strong asf and you square up against tim and damian

obviously you lose because hello that's damian wayne we are talking about but at least its fun!!

cass and jason are forever the undefeated champions of shoulder wars though, that goes without saying

Cassandra Cain

shes always seen beach episodes in animes that damian practically dragged her into watching so when she gets to actually go to a beach she is so excited peak sibling bonding is dragging your siblings into your interests

loves building sandcastles and writing things in the sand, watching it get washed away, and then do it all over again

hold her hand and jump over waves together on the shore and she will be the giggliest and happiest human being alive on planet earth

but out of all the beach activities she loves beach volleyball

shes actually scarily good at beach volleyball for someone who has never played volleyball before

dick thought it would be fun to teach her and have a friendly match between him and bruce vs you and cass

yeah bruce and dick were COOKED. huffing and puffing like they have a vendetta against the three little pigs at the end of it while cass is like “this is so fun, lets go again!”

ends the day with a little sunset stroll along the shore i need her so bad you do not understand please bbyg ill treat u soooo well

Jason Todd

beaches are fun on paper for him, in person not so much

PERSONAL HC INCOMING! He gets migraines after the lazarus pit so he can only have so much fun before needing to lie face down with his head covered with a beach towel to make everything less overwhelming or he wears sunglasses the entire time

he brings a book to read at the beach and stays in the shade the entire time yes he is that bitch

usually at home in the comfort of his little library he likes to read things that have an impact on him or just stuff that makes him want to analyze deeper. think books like frankenstein, lord of the flies, all quiet on the western front, just generally heavier stuff

but his vacation books? totally different. usually something super light, maybe a shitty romance book that you find in walmart which are clearly just results of book packaging, or a some booktok recommendation he got for shits and giggles because it just was so laughably bad, maybe even a childhood feel-good book like percy jackson or the little prince (mostly just books he would not grieve over if sand permanently got in between the pages)

he tried reading a colleen hoover book once and honest to God wanted to toss it into the ocean HE WOULD HATE HER BOOKS AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

but out of everything he likes watching you enjoy yourself, his book wasnt that important anyways. show him that funky sand dollar you found or that really cool piece of seaglass, he’s probably gonna bring it home with him. a little keepsake along with the millions of grains of sand that never seem to go away

Tim Drake

Burns so easily

At first its kinda cute, like hes asking you to help him get that spot on his back he just cant seem to reach and its just a little sweet moment between you two as you rub the sunscreen into his sore muscles

But then it happens again. And again. And again to the point when he goes up to you, you automatically reach for the tube of SPF 100+ 

I just know his vitamin d deficiency goes crazy

Leaves the beach looking like a lobster, sunburnt, a crazy bump on his head from getting hit with a volleyball, and some god awful sunglasses tan lines

Overall, beach activities are not really his thing bros job is NAWT beach

Enjoys the boardwalk a lot more than the beach itself, likes the touristy stuff but still goes to the beach because dick loves it and he loves his older brother :(

Damian Wayne

i feel like he wouldn’t care too much for typical beach stuff. like at every beach that has sand and decently clean water you can do most beach activities

one thing that is never 100% consistent at all beaches is what lives on the beaches. this boy will spend hours staring into tidepools 

bruce was lowk concerned because his son did not gaf about normal beach activities that kids do but eventually he reached a point where he was like "i mean at least hes having fun and being safe"

i feel like talia would always show him books of sea creatures when he was little but he never ended up being able to see them in their natural habitat someone take this boy to an aquarium now

tells you fun facts about each creature you come across

will scold you if you take a shell from the beach, definitely says some shit like “how would you feel if someone ran into your house and just took your bed?”  based though, leave shells at the beach yall! taking them is like bad for the ecosystem

brings his notebook around and has little sketches of the sea creatures

even though typical beach activities arent his favourite, he doesnt hate it. he likes that he can catch a break from all the vigilante stuff and spend time with his family as a family and not just as a team

loves scuba diving. idk it just somehow makes sense and i think he would look really stupid in a wet suit

also i feel like he would never mention it but in his mind hes fully thinking "this is just like a beach episode" but he would rather die than say it out loud FUCKING NERDDD

[genderfluid-insomniac]

hi! can i ask modern au(i'm not sure if thats what its called but yk where we live without the superpowers) hcs with shenhe and kafka x reader? the reader could be fem but if you dont write that gn is okay too. just hcs about how it would be like to date them and what kind of stuff they'd to etc. hope you have a nice day!!!

hi! of course! I'm soooo sorry it took this long!!

Modern Au!Kafka and Shenhe with dating headcanons (fem!s/o)

Shenhe

As in the game, this tall intimidating woman is a bit hesitant as she’s still learning more social cues and being able to smoothly get into a conversation. You love her dearly but sometimes she scares others by casually suggesting violent solutions to certain problems like it’s completely normal. As much as you joke about giving her classes on social cues and how to not seem like a robot she asks you to actually do that.

She’s hella protective. She has you carry one of those multi purpose keychains with a window break (which could be used as a shank as she’s suggested), pepper spray, a small knife, etc and tells you to look out for signs of any danger. You’re both trained in self defense and know additional safety combat techniques. Shenhe just really doesn’t want anything to happen to you since you’re one of the best things to happen to her.

Please help her cook because Shenhe badly wants to cook you a meal and not set off the fire alarm or somehow make an abomination of sometype. It can also be a fun date where you both bake a cake or a favorite if yours. She’ll get confused if you put frosting on her nose jokingly but very flustered when you lick it off or kiss it off.

You adore her cuddles and how she is the perfect size for being a little spoon, not to mention those soft plush breasts she has that make perfect pillows. Your girlfriend adores cuddles more than anything since you’re so adorable already and hers.

This is a strange one but please take her to the zoo she’s absolutely enamored with all of the animals and it doesn’t matter if she’s already seen them Shenhe will watch them all day and read the facts on the stand in front of the habitat. Despite the fact that you can see it too she’ll tell all of her favorite things about said animal. She is fascinated by giraffes and flamingos because giraffes according to her are “stretched horses” where as flamingos remind her of a bright pink version of a crane that used to frequent a lake next to her house.

Kafka

Let get one thing straight gay your girlfriend is a tease and loves to play harmless mind games with you from anything to receiving affection to coaxing you into making a decision. She’s not going to manipulate you ever it’s just she likes to keep you on your toes and loves the reactions you give.

Her love language is more physical touch and words of affirmation than anything else. There are countless times that you’ll be in her arms and cuddle into her as she praises you for being so good to her and for her. How you’re the best person she’s ever met and brings out the best in her. You’d get cavities from how sweet she is to you.

Kafka is someone who others can’t figure out and tries to solve her like an old riddle fabled to hold untold riches but only you hold the answer. She’s purposely tries to be standoffish to make sure others don’t harass you or think they can hurt you in any way. Especially since she has some enemies that would love to have you in their arms in order to get one over Kafka but she’ll ensure you that you’re forever safe with her. If something does happen she’s rushing you to the hospital first off to make sure you’re okay or any injuries you sustained will be taken care of and then calling up her friends and associates to take care of whoever decided to hurt her girlfriend.

You’re being taken on meaningful and charming dates that have clearly been thought through and they sometimes are as simple as a picnic or a movie night at home to having dinner at a high-class restaurant or taking you out on a night in the city and spoiling with gifts that you’ve been eyeing.

[xoxoeuphoria]

okay so

i just got home from aot the last attack and oh my god, it was genuinely so good.

even though it was just the two last episodes + post credit scene, i truly felt like i was watching it for the first time again.

i cried SOOOO many times, to the point where i got home and realized i cried off the wings of my eyeliner 😭😭😭.

part of me can’t help but feel a void now that i know there’s no “new” content coming out for attack on titan. like that’s it. it’s done.

i did have fun going, i brought along my reiner nendroid with me and took pictures of him throughout. I also made my boyfriend come with me (who hasn’t watched the anime but has read the entire manga).

i have sooooo many things i want to talk about pertaining to the showing that i feel like i can’t write them all here, if anyone wants to chat about it or anything aot PLEASE DM ME.

i love aot with everything i have and am so glad that it got done right with its ending.

[hanako-san]

Hello! Its me your friend been awhile since I left Tumblr taking a break.

Honestly life's hard with exams. And going to uni. I haven't watched the anime currently, since I'm busy studying lately. But I do see your posts every often sometimes.

Hope your good! I made these for you. Tried aidairos artsyle seeing the latest chapter flopped a bit. I love cats.

While I do belive the cat we see now is tsukasa. Amane as a cat... Is cute.

Hello. Kira! Don't need delete your account when you're busy with exams etc. Don't do that again please i don't want lose you 🥺🙏 Yes I'm busy lately, but when I have time to reply to my friends I will do it. For friends always i'm here. You don't have to worry! please don't go anymore please!

I also don't watch new anime or read new manga, I only read those that I read some time ago and they simply have a continuation, like Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest, although recently I also have a backlog and I don't even know if the manga is over or not.

honestly I don't write posts because I have nothing to write about. At the moment in jshk they are terribly boring, and daikon is not worth my time. only this cat stole my heart. You're right he's cute!!

AND NOW KYAAAAAAAAAA!!! OMG SOOOO CUTE KYYAAA FOR ME OMG!! YESSS!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH KIRA YOU DID AMAZING WORK!!! GORGEOUS!!! and your style improved and the this art is ADORABLE AND CUTE AND GERGOEUS AND- OMG YOU'RE KILLING ME WITH THIS AND I NEED THANK YOU!!!!

You read my mind perfectly. I wanted to see this version from HanaAoi. Thank you very much!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💖💖💖💖💖💘💘💘💘

LIESTN LISTEN NEW HANAAOI SHIPPER IS HERE YOU NEED TO KNOW HER!!! @lolita-ily !!!! Slowly maybe there will be more, but please don't leave anymore!

The new chapter was indeed a huge flopped.

I also think it's Tsukasa! But it's nice to have Amane as the version too, haha!! Thanks again! 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

[snackamunchies]

Hey guys!!!! I found something really cool indie animation that I think many of you would like!!!! It’s a new series, just in it’s beginnings!

It’s called…

NETIZƎN by BaraHaraLee

(yes with the backwards Ǝ)

I found it this morning by casually surfing youtube, when I found this REAALLY deep in my recommended, it had a really cool thumbnail, so I decided to check it out.

And… guys… ITS REALLY REALLY GOOD!!! It’s 16 ish minutes long and I loved every second of it!!! It’s got really unique visuals, interesting characters, good funky music, and a really good mystery!!!

And it’s just on act one!? ACT ONE ?!?!?

I���m soooo exited for the next part to come out!! I’m going to link y’all to the video because it’s barely gotten to 500 views!!!! Which is a crime for something of this level of quality!!!

And if you like it, then please please pleaseeee sub to the creator, because if we show them that we like their show, more parts will follow!!!

GO WATCH NETIZƎN NOW!!!!!

[skeletwinsauaskbox]

i guess i should put down some notes.

snow white was nice. quite the accomplishment for humanity from what i heard. but... honestly, i fell asleep halfway through watching it. still liked it, though. it's relaxing.

same with pinocchio, except i think i had nightmares about it as a kid. can't remember much, though. must've just been weird childhood stuff. you know how it is.

fantasia and its remake(?) are the kind of movies i like to watch late at night. and by late at night, i mean 2am.

dumbo's cool. not much to say about it.

i actually really liked bambi as a kid. dunno why, it must've been all the cute animals. now, it's just a nice movie to watch for nostalgia's sake.

i don't remember much of the three cabilleros.

i only really remember the mickey and the beanstalk story. you know why. you know why.

ichabod and mr toad scared me so badly as a kid i still can't watch it now. nope.

honestly... i actually really liked the mouse scenes the most in cinderella. i dunno, i just didn't care for the main plot all that much. i didn't come for that. i came for goofy mice shenanigans, that's what i like to see.

alice in wonderland made me laugh a few times. great movie.

i liked the captain hook stuff, but i, uh, also got bored halfway through the movie. it takes a lot to keep this skeleton's attention, i'll tell you that.

lady and the tramp was soooo cute. what? the plot? uhh... two cute dogs go on adventures? and spaghetti comes in, i think? cute dogs, though.

i got called sleeping beauty once. to this day, i can't decide whether i'm flattered or offended.

even more cute dogs, this time, most of them are babies. gosh darn it, i want a dog... not 101 of 'em though, hell nah.

maaaaaaagic wizaaaaaard dueeeeel. and that sums up all i remember about it.

i wonder if papyrus hates the jungle book because of how many times i made him watch it. i still love that movie.

robin hood, but animals? sign me up, please. i love me a chaotic good fox hero.

winnie the pooh is cute. that's all i have to say about it.

i think my brother watched the rescuers. personally, i don't remember ever watching it.

the fox and the hound... i think i might cry just thinking about it. yup, i can cry.

the black cauldron scared me a lot as a kid. hey, i was a skittish kid, alright?

the great mouse detective was a cool movie. i would rewatch it just for the ratigan scenes.

why should i worry? why should i care?

the little mermaid! oh, it's one of my favorites. i love laughing at how stupid everyone was. one of the best films to rib on, in my opinion. and ribbing is how i show my love.

beauty and the beast is a classic, of course. so is aladdin. and the lion king... and the hunchback of notre dame. these are all really good movies.

greek mythology has always been fascinating to me. and while this movie got it completely wrong, it's still entertaining, so it gets a pass.

mulan was great, but it still scared me as a kid. unlike ichabod and mr toad and the black cauldron, though... i think it actually made me like it more? huh.

hehehehehehehe, that hunter's death in tarzan still catches me off-guard. i'm sure papyrus hates me for laughing at it every time...

you just gotta understand the comedic genius behind the emperor's new groove? are there more thrilling, dramatic, emotional movies out there? yes. but are they the emperor's new groove? no. i rest my case.

atlantis and treasure planet are awesome and underrated. go watch 'em.

i know i should be enamored by the goofy alien that is stitch like the rest of you, but watching lilo and stitch just makes me wanna hug my brother and cry. i don't know why.

brother bear is cute. and that's all i remember of it.

is it weird to say that i liked home on the range? i mean, it wasn't a great movie, but i liked the villain. it's just a really goofy movie, i just can't.

chicken little... eeeehhhhh. no. just no.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee meet the robinsons eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. what? you haven't watched it? G o w a t c h i t . N o w .

the animals were cute, but bolt is just okay.

the princess and the frog had great music. and talking animals. and it's funny. what else could i ever want?

the whole time i watched tangled, i kept thinkin' about what it would be like to have hair that long. like... wow, rapunzel. what hair products do you use? can i borrow some? papyrus really needs some for his own "luscious locks".

wreck it ralph is cute and fun and it made me cry. okay, it didn't actually make me cry, not really, but i cried on the inside. does that count?

ugh... don't tell my brother this. i used to like frozen, but papyrus ruined it for me by screaming the songs at the top of his ribs 24/7. it just gives me a migraine, honestly. left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. wait... teeth? however i taste, it tasted sour. and it wasn't the sweet and sour kind, either.

big hero 6 was probably the first movie to make me sob as an adult. freaking tadashi, man. i could almost imagine papyrus in his place. don't tell him i said that.

remember, anything after this message ain't canon... yet.

i liked zootopia. animals. it's just not my favorite, that's all.

moana made me laugh a lot, actually. i still quote shark head to my brother, hehehe.

ralph breaks the internet was fine as a movie, but i was honestly bored by it. the most entertainment i got out of it was making fun of it. it was okay, but i wouldn't watch it again.

the frozen sequel. okay. papyrus hasn't ruined this movie for me. yet. i'm still wary, though.

i found encanto surprisingly cute. i don't know why, i just did. maybe it's the whole "fixing a family" thing. i'm a sucker for stories like that.

wish was weird. i dunno, it just felt off to me. i guess it was okay for what it was...

[localfanbaselurker]

First time watching Voltron: Legendary Defender and documenting my thoughts

This is Season 4

S1-2 | S3 | S5 | S6 | S7 | S8 |

———————————————————————

<this one is going to be shorter, as I have only recently finished this season, and the grief is still fresh (lol), so the thoughts are only just starting to simmer. strap your asses in>

Pre-Season 4 Thoughts

-> Keith joining the blades is going to be a huge plot device, I feel

-> PLEASE for the love of CHRIST let that poor little girl find her brother and father. If they are dead dreamworks better be ready to catch these hands

->I’ve heard people claim this is the “last good season”, but i stay strong 💪 and will watch till the end

->wouldn’t the paladin switch not make sense now? Cus shiro is back as the black paladin and it makes no sense for Lance to be red like it originally had? If anything, he should’ve gone back to blue, and Allura to red, because Allura is very accepting/encouraging of shiro’s role as leader. I guess they didn’t wanna do it all over again. But I digress 🤷‍♀️

->im gonna miss my Pookie (🤍❤️🤍)

Post-S4

->do they do this every two seasons?? Have an epic battle where they have a big preparation and say it’ll 100% end the war but it doesn’t and something crazy happens after they win and it sets up the next season??

->FUCK YEAH PIDGE GOT HER BROTHER BACK IM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP 💪💪🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

->^genuinely cried so hard during this scene. would’ve cried more if I wasn’t recovering from the initial shock.

->^cried during this one too, but it was happy tears. I could actually just do a whole reaction post to this episode alone. (if you want me to js say so in the rbs/replies)

->the callback to s1! “color-coded of course, because what are we? animals?” AHHH! I’m going insane I love these siblings sooooo much

->okay I’ll stop gushing over them now

->^only valid reaction to meeting Allura. Homegirl is beauty incarnate

->I LIED. im not sorry im never shutting up about them. SHE SHOWS HIM AROUND THE CASTLE AND TELLS HIM EVERYTHING AND EVERY DETAIL AND SHES SO EXCITED CUS SHE JUST GOT HER BRO BACK AND IS JUST RAMBLING ABOUT HER NEW HOME AND ALL THE COOL STUFF SHES BEEN DOING AND HES JUST LISTENING AND IS SUPER EXCITED WITH HER AND ITS SOOOO AMAZING AND ADORABLE AND I COULD DIE

->AND THEN HE TELLS HER HOW THEIR DAD WOULD BE SO PROUD IM DYING IM LITERALLY DEAD STOP.

->AND AND AND THEY WERE ALL WORKING TOGETHER W HUNK TO MAKE THE GALRA TRACKER THING AND THEY WERE BEING SO COOL WITH EACH OTHER AND BEING NERDS TOGETHER AND AND AND AJEUWNDUWJEBEURBDGWUDKAODHD

->okay. ive calmed down. i am normal and can be trusted to simply watch a show.

->^Get his ass, Zarkon. I needed his smug ass to be humbled so bad. Only time I will agree w Zarkon fr.

->i do NOT like Lotor. Can you guys tell already??

->THE SCENE WHERE THEY TRIED TO GET MILKSHAKES AND WERE SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT YOU NEED TO MILK A COW STOP.✋ 😭. My high-score on the giggle-meter went up by 300%

->bro I SWEAR shiro looks different. there’s just something about him. the hair gets a pass cus how good of a haircut can you give yourself in space, yk? but that nose scar is definitely a different shade #notmyrodrickshiro

->THE VOLTRON SHOW.

->^Just. That entire episode. It’s getting a whole post actually I need to yap about it.

->^her armor is colored in a way which makes it look both pink and red while making it look like a trick of the light in a way to symbolize that she is acting as keith yet while being a paladin herself and that being unknown in the public eye and showing how they have to cover that up, any suspicion being thrown as a trick of the light. Oh vld animators ily 🫶

->on another note tho why do they always draw lance and shiro to have 30 pounds of ass. what.

->loved when those lesbians decided to take down lotor. Queen shit 💋 we stan 🙇‍♀️🙏

->Lotor is so stupid and pathetic and annoyingly smug and sus and admiral-zhao-y and I hate him but he’s SOOO FREAKING HOT and I can’t hate him completely because he’s so attractive but that just makes me wanna hate him more. He’s a walking red flag but the flag is heart-shaped and honestly idk what to do w that.

->^WHAT. stop. honestly that’s the real reason he was banned from the empire my ass would not want that fucking FREAK within a 30 light year radius of me either

-> while s3 was the klance season, s4 is apparently the allurance season, they have a lot of sweet moments. (granted all started by lance but still, you can almost see allura swooning)

->^pookie. what are you doing… pookie.. no. stop. i don’t like where this is going…

->^POOKIE NO. STOP. ✋ STOP. SAY SIKE RN.

->^oh thank fuck for Lotor.

->^^wait what. why Lotor.

->^^^heartbreaking: worst person you know doesn’t something good for once.

->he definitely wants something out of this. I don’t trust him.

These are thoughts I’ve had compiled for some time now. I will continue to post my thoughts on the tag “laura’s first vld”

I finished this season on 06/30/24. I am on S5E3 as of today (07/06/24)

[dragon-queen21]

hi back again ! sorry for my small absence, my school year just finished and testing is approachin & ive been very stressed ☹️

but this time its gonna be about sanji (like the last two were supposed to) this is actually kind of angsty,, um,,, whoopsie

-i have a hc that during wholecake when sanji was with his family he was actually regressin. i dont think he was fully regressed but definitely wasnt fully big the entire time. please tell me you understand what im gettin at here. the amount of stress he must have been dealin with, unfortunately he needed to cope somehow, kind of angsty i know, but sanji fully regressin the second hes safe and with his crew again, and luffy (and the crew) just being there to help him (they didnt leave his side for hours)

-sanji is the straw hats resident baby like i said in a previous ask i believe that him and luffy regress the youngest, both needin the most care and attention out of everyone else in their straw hats agere universe. hes not as clingy as luffy, but will get fussy if someones not with him

-for some reason i am so diggin usopp watchin lil sanji, I DONT KNOW I FEEL LIKE THEYD HAVE A BLAST

i feel like usopp would be tryin SOOOO hard to helo sanji have a good time considerin usopps not his primary cg

-the girls are the ones who mostly care for sanji when hes little, robin being a little more motherly, and nami bein sweet and spoiling the hell out of him

-sanji called one of the girls “mommy” once and got SO embarrassed. locked himself in the kitchen stress bakin until the one he gave the title too came and talked to him

-once JUST ONCE he called zeff when he was really little and was genuinely tryin his hardest to act big when he was talkin to zeff. i cant imagine how he would react exactly, or if he woukd even understand what was happenin or what agere even was, but he raised this boy he can tell when somethins up. imagine franky, or robin, brook or someone findin him and having to slowwwlllyyy take it away from him and apologize to zeff so he can get back to his job

OKAY IM DONE BECAUSE IM TIRED RAAAH I HOOE YOUR HAVING A GOOD DAY sorry i think this is really difficult from my normal asks/rambles sanji is more personal to me than anyone else on the crew so i think about his highs and lows a lot more than anyone else in the crew! im sorry if its a bit to angsty ☹️

(also sorry i want to drop this,, inosuke agere? real? him regressing and hes just like a nonverbal baby boar. very very energetic kiddo)

(ive also been slightly fixated on ‘metal family’ recently as well. mom the hyperfixations are fightin)

📷

Hi hi! Good to see ya :D please ignore how long it took me to respond, this has been such a busy week for me and my mental health has been a roller coaster. Ooh I get the stress before tests, praying to Jesus for you that all goes well <3 Make sure to study a little, take breaks, and get a good night sleep before and I bet you will do just great! :D

Okay onto headcanons now~

~Sanji kind of teetering between headspaces is so real. Not feeling safe enough to fully regress but also his brain pushing him to be small because he’s upset and usually being small means getting comfort. He would probably crash and burn for days after once it finally hits him that he’s safe. Practically drunk of off familiarity of his crew.

While I am kind of aware of whole cake I’m not up that point in the anime, if I was I would give you a better comment, but alas :<

~The resident baby prince. Ahhh I love him so much. First thing I thought of is Sanji being sat in the corner with a blanket and some toys content to play by himself, but the moment whoever is watching over him leaves it’s instantly tears and crying. Object permanence who? If the baby can’t see his crew they therefor must have disappeared and left him and he is going to be sad about it forever. Never to be consoled agai- oh wait never mind they’re back now. All is right with the world.

~Usopp watching over anyone would have a blast. Let’s be honest- it’s Usopp. Something about him just screams caregiver coded.

~Okay but Sanji calling Robin “mama” promptly realizing what he’s said because Robin is so shocked she’s not responding, he’s not about to stick around and find out what she thinks of the accidental nickname, and going to stress bake for hours <- the best idea ever. It makes me so happy. Bdbjbcjdnjdnsj (Like I haven’t said this a hundred times before, I’m soft for mama Robin can you tell :3 )

~I’ll raise you one. Calling up Zeff but it keeps happening when Sanji is looking after regressors. The phrase “I’m telling!” gives Sanji a near heart attack. The ex pirate has gotten used to getting calls from little straw-hats, so imagine his shock when it’s Sanji regressed and calling.

These weren’t too different I would say. Besides I absolutely adore angst just as much as I love fluff. Like let the baby’s suffer a bit >:3

(Very real. The most real actually. Inosuke never got to experience a normal childhood. Let. Him. Cope. 👏)

“mom the hyperfixations are fightin”

😭😂 love that

I’ve never heard if metal family before. I do however understand the fight between hyperfixations. (Looks towards the 5,000+ word Genshin Impact fic I’ve been writing and essentially ignoring all my other current projects for) It’s tough being in multiple fandoms, the struggle is real my friend

[havockingboo]

Grrrhrhrr I love ur art so much I wanna put it under my pillow

Also what's monkey wrench? 👁

WEEE THANK YOU BONES

forbidden

tommy lillard x female!reader

part one

when you first met tommy lillard, you were immediately taken by him. maybe it was the devilish good looks of his, or his slight southern accent, or his whole cowboy aesthetic.

he was just like the men you’d read about in your books.

he was everything you could ever want in a man… but there was only one issue.

it was already arranged for you to marry another man. it had been set up just a few months ago. gabriel was a good man, of course, very friendly. but, there was something about him, you couldn’t pinpoint it, but something about him was off. you did not want to marry him. 

it had been a week or so since avram belinski and tommy lillard arrived in san francisco, and tomorrow avram and rosalie bender, one of your close friends, were to be married.

the rising excitement was causing you to become more nervous. all the preparations reminded you that your own wedding was coming up soon. 

it was overwhelming. 

and you needed an escape. 

which is why you found yourself slipping away from the festivities. you exited the bender home, sighing deeply as you ran a hand through your hair.

a sound caught your attention. you glanced up, noticing the beautiful brown horse tied up a few feet away. a soft smile spread across your lips as you took a few steps toward the creature.

you’d always loved horses. they seemed to be so peaceful, so kind. 

you lifted a hand, gently placing it against the horse’s muzzle. you didn’t want to overwhelm the creature, so you took a gentle approach. 

“hi there.” you greeted.

the horse huffed, as though greeting you back.

“nice to meet you.” you said with a laugh, you were talking to a horse for goodness sake! your hands traveled across the animals sleek coat, admiring its beauty. 

“you’re a pretty one, aren’t you?” 

“i think he likes you.” 

you jumped, startled by the sound. you turned to see tommy lillard approaching you, a smile on his face. 

“i-i’m sorry, i hope i’m not bothering-“

tommy shook his head, “no, no, not at all.” he assured, now standing beside you. 

“so.. ya like horses?” it was awkward. this whole encounter was awkward. but you’d rather have an awkward encounter with a handsome cowboy then return to the festivities.

you nodded, “i’ve always been fond of them.” tommy nodded, “ya ever ride one?” “goodness no, my parents would throw a fit.” 

the man arched his brows, “and why is that?” 

“riding horses is for the men. not the women.” 

“bullshit, anyone can ride a horse.” you watched as the man crossed in front of you, untying the reins. you furrowed your brows, “what are you doing?” 

“i,” he paused, taking the reins, “am going to teach you to ride.” your eyes widened in surprise, “pardon?” 

“you heard me, darlin’.” you felt a blush creep

up your neck at the name. you couldn’t believe it. tommy lillard was going to teach you to ride a horse! 

he beckoned you over, “now, to get on, you’re gonna put your foot in this hole here, and you’re gonna hold onto that knob on top of the saddle, ya following?” you nodded, watching intently as he pointed to the specific parts of the saddle. 

“once you’re steady, you just pull yourself up. got it?” “i think so.” you replied. “well, go for it.” 

you took a step forward, your eyes locked on the saddle as you remembered what tommy had just said. but one thought lurked in your mind, “what if i fall?” 

the man sent you a smile, “then i’ll catch you.” now seeing that you were in good hands, you lifted your foot, placing it where it needed to go. you then grasped the knob, holding it tight.

“good, now pull yourself up.” you exhaled deeply, suddenly feeling incredibly nervous. you felt tommy’s hands graze your waist, “i’m right here, i won’t let you fall.” he assured. you nodded, adjusting your grip on the handle before using your strength to heave yourself onto the horseback. 

a wave of relief washed over you as you steadied yourself, glancing down to see tommy beaming at you. “there ya go!” 

“i did it,” you whispered with a chuckle. 

“hell yeah, ya did!” 

the man then climbed onto the horse, surprising you as he settled behind you. “whatever are you doing?” you asked.

“teaching you to ride,” he said nonchalantly, taking the reins, “now, place your hands over mine.” you did so. his hands were far larger than yours, warm, you found comfort in his touch. 

“right, so what you do now is you just take the reins, and give ‘em a gentle pull, not to harsh unless you want him to take off, okay?” he explained, demonstrating carefully in order to not set the horse in motion. you nodded slowly. 

“well, go for it.” he urged, removing his hands from under yours and instead placing them atop, enveloping yours. you took a deep breath, gripping the reins, tugging them softly. the horse let out a soft neigh before it began trotting forward slowly. 

tommy let out a laugh, “look at you! you’re a natural!” 

“i’ve hardly done anything.” you said, your face flushing red. 

“you’ve done enough to show me how good you are.” his voice was soft, gentle. you felt your heart flutter as he moved closer, you could feel the warmth radiating off of him. 

“now, let’s see what else ya can do.”

— — — —

“no!”

“yes! i tell ya darlin, i still can’t believe we made it here.” 

you let out a laugh, the story of his and avram’s adventure to san francisco still fresh in your mind. 

you shifted on the hay you were currently resting on. after riding around with tommy for a while, it had started to rain. it was nice at first, until it began to pour. you’d found an old barn to take shelter in, and now, you were listening to tommy’s stories about all the adventures to go on. 

“you live such a crazy life, it’s so eventful.” you said, glancing over at the man laying beside you, who smiled, “yeah, it’s pretty nice.” 

the two of you fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound being the rain pounding on the roof. 

but this silence was broken quickly, “and what about you?” 

“what about me?”

“what do you want?” you furrowed your brows, “huh?” 

“what do you want? where do you want to go? what are your desires? i’m a curious fella.” 

you let out a sigh. 

never had someone asked you that-not the way he was asking it now. but you found them to be the easiest questions in the world.

what do you want? to be with him.

where do you want to go? wherever he goes.

what are your desires? to live a loving life with him.

but you couldn’t say that. could you?

“i don’t know.” you whispered. tommy furrowed his brows, rolling over to face you, “you don’t know? whaddya mean you don’t know? everyone wants something.” 

you bit your lip, sighing deeply. “what i want is something i can’t have.” 

“and what is it that you want?” his voice was low, he was now gazing at you in a way you’ve never been looked at before. 

you felt your heart race, palms sweat. “i..” 

he leaned in slightly, “what is it that you want?” he repeated, a little slower this time. your eyes darted to his lips, “you.”

it was a leap, but, you took a chance.

tommy remained silent for a moment, which scared you. were you reading into this too much? had you misunderstood?

“and who says you can’t have me?” 

he dipped his head, connecting his lips with yours. you felt as though you were dreaming. never in a million years did you think you’d be here, kissing tommy lillard in a barn of all places. 

after a moment, he pulled away, leaving you breathless. you smiled softly, “wow.” “wow is right…” he brushed a stray strand of hair away from your eyes, “you’re a damn good kisser.” you felt your cheeks flush, turning your head slightly.

“hey now, let me see that beautiful face.”

“tommy..” 

“darling…” the man grasped your chin gently, lifting your head to meet his gaze, a soft smile toying on his lips, “there’s those pretty eyes.” 

why couldn’t it be him? gabriel never complimented you in this way. why couldn’t it be tommy?

why couldn’t he be the man who you were to marry?

— — — —

you didn’t remember falling asleep, but sure enough, you woke up on tommy’s chest, his muscular arms wrapped tightly around you. 

the sun was shining brightly, and it was now avram and rosalie’s wedding day. you had awoken tommy, and the two of you had rushed home on horseback, the events of the night going unspoken.

the wedding ceremony had been beautiful. absolutely beautiful, and you’d be lying if you said you hadn’t shed a tear. 

you were so happy for avram and rosalie, but you once again found yourself being uncomfortable at the thought of the next wedding beings your own. 

the celebration began quickly after, everyone was dancing and having fun, except rosalie’s mother, who hadn’t stopped crying. 

and once again, gabriel had been glued to your side. this time, you could not escape. “would you like to dance?” he asked, sounding somewhat annoyed. this was his fifth time asking you. it wasn’t that you didn’t want to dance with him persay, you personally just didn’t enjoy the sport. 

“i don’t like to dance, gabriel.” you replied as politely as possible. the man let out a huff, “well would you like a drink then?” 

“yes, thank you.” gabriel then left your side for the first time in hours, and you felt somewhat grateful. 

you heard someone clear their throat obnoxiously behind you. slowly, you turned, unable to hide your smile. “hi tommy,” 

“hey darling. you look very nice today.” 

“you don’t look too bad yourself.” you replied. he smiled, hazel eyes flitting from the dance platform to you. you caught on immediately, shaking your head rapidly. 

“no.” 

“oh come on! it’ll be fun!” he exclaimed. you continued to shake your head, “i don’t dance.” 

“everybody dances darling.” you pursed your lips, watching as he extended a hand toward you. “i’ll give ya a kiss if you give me one dance.”

there it was.

“tommy, i can’t-“

“says who?” 

you averted eye contact, trying to figure out how to admit the truth that tommy had failed to notice. 

“come on darling, i like you, you like me, i’m a sort of respectable man, it would be-“

“tommy, i’m engaged.” 

his brows furrowed, hazel eyes narrowing, “you-you’re engaged?” you nodded slowly. the man took a moment to register your words, “so that’s what you meant when you said you couldn’t have what you wanted..”

“i’m sorry, i didn’t think this would go that far..” you were terrified of his reaction. but you ended up feeling surprised.

“well who gives a damn. can’t you call that shit off?” 

this was all becoming far too messy. because what you truly wanted was to call off the wedding and be with him. 

but you couldn’t. you couldn’t let your family down.

“tommy, i’m sorry… we-we can’t do this.” 

you turned to walk away, feeling completely overwhelmed, but felt him grasp your wrist, whirling you around to face him. 

he was silent for a moment, his adam’s apple bobbing, “dance with me.”

“i-“

“please. just one dance.” desperation laced his voice, almost begging. you sighed deeply, nodding. he smiled softly.

and for the first time, you danced. you danced the night away with tommy lillard, wishing that you could live in this moment forever…

but it was not to be.

or so you thought.

What is an amphibia

Oh, man. As im rewatching it, too.

Amphibia is an animated show that i could best compare to The Owl House. It is a Disney show that aired in 2019(?) And ended last year. Unlike The Owl House, it does not have as much lgbt representation, so do not go into it expecting that. For a lot of the show, it is more "filler" episodes. Though, this does not mean that they aren't important and should be skipped over. In my opinion, it has a very good story, and its themes are done really well. I absolutely love the characters, and i think their development is done soooo well.

Onca again, it is a bit slow, especially in the beginning, but it is worth getting through, in my opinion. It is my favorite show ever, and i think you should definitely give it a watch!

I wish I could say more, but it's very late, and my brain is not functioning that well anymore! Please do give it a try when you have the chance. You can find it on Disney+ or the same site i linked for Infinity Train.

Alright. I'll bite. What's COE? I assume it's a game? And where would I be able to watch a playthrough(?) of it?

細胞神曲 - Cell of Empireo is an RPGMaker horror game by Sharktale Factory! You can find an English Translation on YouTube here!! It has the full game with all of the endings, and the first five Records of the DLC! The game itself is playable in both Japanese and Korean.

If you'd like to play it with Machine Translation yourself, I have a tutorial here! Please be aware that MTL is hard to work with, and can be confusing. IF you choose to do this, there is a walkthrough on how to get the best ending here!

TLDR: You play as Haruki Atou, 28 year old detective! When his coworker, Eiji Shinano, goes missing, Atou tracks his last known location to the mysterious cult called the Empyrean Heaven Research Institute. Atou finds himself wrapped up in a situation far larger than expected, and discovers a lot about both the Institute and himself along the way!

This game has everything: it has gay people. It has religious imagery. There is a headless rat. There's a mad scientist who asks to hold hands. The Divine Comedy is everywhere. There is foreshadowing and lore EVERYWHERE and it is sooooo fascinating!!! Genuinely I love this game so so so much!! There is a reason I have been drawing it for (checks watch) almost a year nonstop.

Cell of Empireo play order:

Cell of Empireo DLC: Records of Sanemitsu Isoi [YT tl stops here, after record 5 Hermit's Room Interlude Cell of Mirage (unreleased, fukao-San is working on it)

If you want to go in completely blind, I'll leave it there, but I'll add some of my own rambles under the cut! I'll also post the content warnings there as well o7 This game is recommended for people 17 and up, but I think you should be fine! The rating is for violence mostly. There are some flashing lights and shaking screen moments.

CONTENT WARNINGS (by me)

religious themes, human and animal experimentation/death, gore, hallucinations, suicide, murder, familial abuse, body horror, attempted SA (brief, nothing happens, i can tell you when it happens if you need a warning for this)

aaand some ramblings

There are soooo many different variations based on what ending you're on track for. It is FASCINATING to see lines change in really subtle ways because of Atou's actions.

the lore MAKES SENSE and adds things SYMBOLICALLY and there are LAYERS and you can theorize about stuff!!! This game is so good!!!

the boss fights are SO MUCH FUN. For an RPGMaker game there are so many different mechanics??? There's a RHYTHM GAME SECTION??? it's FANTASTIC

this is a game and a series about love in all its forms. There is platonic love, familial, romantic, whatever the hell flowerpot trio has going on, and more!

There are so many terrible dads that I was able to run a 'Worst Dads' Poll and people had genuine debates, it was fantastic!!

METAFICTION. IT'S METAFICTION (i am very normal)

Sanemitsu <3 Sanemitsu isoi <3 Sanemitsu Isoi my beloved <3

I have written so many theory and analysis essays. there is so much lore i go so insane it's so fun (LORE ANALYSIS NOT REQUIRED FOR A SATISFYING WATCH/PLAYTHROUGH. I AM JUST INSANE)

The information you learn along the way recontextualizes earlier parts so you want to watch Through it again to catch the details that you missed the first time around!!

Also every character has reasons and motivations for what they’re doing, even if atou doesn’t know it. They are all so so painfully human…. Emotionally devastating

midday tuesday

sort of getting a handle on the volume of work i have to do. ough. writing this tuesdaypost while i wait for the initial step of a simulation to finish running so i can see if what i'm doing is correct.

listening: listening to haken's fauna album again because i'm seeing them live soon (!!)

next listening (against my better judgement because you can probably figure out where i live based on it): local bar had some bands this past weekend, i missed the first group (dopplepopolis) unfortunately because i am chronically late to things that don't have consequences but allegedly they did a holst mars cover ?? which sounds fascinating and i'm so mad i missed it. the second group was alright (the lunar diamonds), pretty good stage presence and they clearly had a lot of fun but their original songs were a little forgettable to me, their cover of psycho killer WAS a banger. i'm very sad they don't have that put up on spotify. but the third group (please her). oohhhh baby. i fell a little bit in love with the lead singer, not gonna lie! i went and listened to their spotify and while some of it really doesn't hit the same as the live performance it's still very fun. she had a spray bottle full of water and was periodically spritzing the audience. at the very end she was like "welcome to church, you may be seated" and had us all sit/crouch on the floor to listen to her announcements about the band over a groovy backing track. their bassist is INSANELY good too. mans be slappin that thang. they listed their genre as "scorpion core" which i still do not understand but god bless 'em.

anyways. they have one album out right now (bandcamp / spotify) and it's worth giving a listen. favorite track: 12 @ the Party, followed closely by Fellas!. i will probably buy it next bandcamp friday.

the lunar diamonds only have one track up on spotify but it is one of their originals that i found toe-tappy: Treads

i'll have to give the band i missed a chance but it will likely not hit the same as if it were live. c'est la vie

finally, haven't finished the release radar for this week yet, but i do really love ethan bortnick. the way he meshes classical-inspired piano with the alt beats is just so fun. hide n seek

reading: next mdzs book came in from the library! truly nothing like the rush of getting the notification "your book is ready to take out" before the estimated date :3 so i'm a little ways into volume 2 now, we're in yi city, xue yang is soooo much more obviously desperate to get xiao xingchen fixed in the book than in the show. loser (affectionate)

watching: next verse same as the first. dungeonmeshi and kill la kill with boyf. the kelpie animations were really fun and also the kraken !! good shit. there are other posts that have explained this better but i love the way trigger is animating the backgrounds. as for klk, we're on ep15 now! i have forgotten sooo much of this show, nui harime showed up and i was like oh SHIT i forgot about her !! entirely!!! so it's been a really fun rewatch.

playing: ran dnd saturday and played dnd on monday! saturday dnd defeated the mdzs dancing fairy :b at some point i will probably design something that involves finding a haunted arm pointing in a direction to reuinite its body a la nie mingjue but we've got some very strong anti-undead characters in this party so that may not go over very well. monday dnd involved getting hunted by a spooky fey hyena and getting robbed by a goblin group. something something goblin microaggressions. still fun even though i was VERY sleepy by the end of it.

making: pottery that i FORGOT TO PHOTOGRAPH ... i was like "i'll take pics at open studio saturday" and then the kiln was running so, on one hand, yayyyy kiln! on the other, no pics for this tuesdaypost. so. more pics next week. i did make some hopefully-teacups for my bf, depending on how severe the shrinkage is, but these are the smallest items i've been able to make (0.5lb clay) and it's sooo much harder than i thought it would be. pics with ruler for shrinkage measuring purposes

you might catch in the first photo that the top cup has noticeably thicker walls than the others ... don't worry about it ......

eating: coconut fish and tomato bake thing that i added too much lime to by accident but still tasty... sheet pan tofu and brussel sprouts!!!! so this is an elite one, adding to the arsenal. literally just halve the sprouts and cube the tofu, drizzle w olive oil and salt and peppy, roast at 450 til its. done. whenever. while that's roasting make rice. the sauce is 1:1 ratio of tahini to hoisin sauce with minced garlic to taste. it is To Die For and SO easy. last night roommate made turkey meatballs with couscous and even though the couscous burned just a little bit it was still yummy!

misc: turns out ... if your body wants ~9 hours of sleep a night but you make it live off of 7 for weeks on end ....... eventually you will get sick LOL. probably partly alcohol ibs stuff but still. sunday was a total wash for me and i went to bed at 10pm and felt normal monday morning. so. i need to just be going to bed earlier (pain). work this week not as terrible at least. i am doing my shit that i need to be doing and it's going okay! which is good because i'm calling it an early week kinda for that concert hehe. oh valentines day! boyf got me a little leatherman multitool keychain and it's so cute and i love it, and i got him a bird scope phone holder so he can take bird photos easier!!!
