SUNNY x Reader

everything is pitch black, he doesn’t know where he is. All he could see was… a tree…? wait a minute. Don’t tell me he-

A nightmare.

this was a rare occurrence happening to him for the past 4 years, ever since his sister died he has been shutting himself from the real world. He has been distant with everyone else including you. His bestfriend and crush. You and Kel has been trying to get him out from the house these past couple of years and neither of you are giving up trying to get him outside. In the end all of the efforts finally start to pay off, Sunny finally came out from his personal bubble and tried to reconnect with his old friends.

You were having a sleepover at his house, Kel and Hero wanted to share this moment one last time before Sunny move away leaving them all behind. It honestly made you upset but you try to ignore this pained heart in your chest.

Sunny woke up covered in sweats all over his body, he started crying silently not knowing somebody was up at that hour. You just came back from the bathroom finding only a sobbing Sunny on his bed, trying to wipe his tears away. Sunny was shocked seeing you there but was also embarrassed to have you seen him in this state, he still has a huge little crush on you and he thinks that he is weak for crying over a nightmare. You quickly rushed into his side and asking him what’s wrong, he was touched on how much of a gentle person you are and it made him even more guilty about killing the person you loved. He asked you on why would you help a monster such as himself? why are you so nice to him? why- just why?! he hates himself for it. He killed Mari. Basil loved her and he killed her, Aubrey loved her and he killed her, Kel loved her and he killed her, Hero loved her and he killed her, He loved her and he killed her, You… y o u loved her and yet he killed her. He hate this, he hate the fact that you made him feel loved, he hate the fact that he had lied to you, he hate the fact that-

“O..oh god.. Sunny, why are you crying..? please don’t cry.. i am here for you.”

You hugged him close, he starts to cry even more on your shoulder and yet you just let him be. Once he finally calmed down, you asked him about his nightmare but ofcourse you told him that if he doesn’t want to that’s totally okay. But eventually he told you about it, you were honestly concerned about the nightmare. It felt like it wasn’t just an ordinary nightmare, it felt so real it has so many details that no dreams or nightmares should have. But you didn’t pay any mind into it though, finding Sunny’s feelings more important than the dream. You told him reassuring words that we would never leave him alone again, you would never leave him alone again. Trying to soothe him more you started to rub circles around his back while still hugging eachother. You also had a crush on him since you first met him if you were going to be honest. His presence alone made your heart and body calm bringing a smile onto your face.

“It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to make mistakes. You are not perfect, and i am too.”

Can't stop thinking about the intense level of vulnerability displayed by Nandor in 5x05

He's not covering up his need for Guillermo at all.

He trusts Guillermo to protect him, to fix his mistakes, to save him, to make everything better.

He's panicking & keeps searching out/calling for/waiting on Guillermo to show up & makes no move to hide this from the cameras OR his vampire friends. His need is plain to see for everyone (not only the audience)

Everyone except Guillermo.

Once he shows up (just like Nandor had been wanting/waiting for him to) suddenly Nandor's walls go back up.

It's embarrassingly obvious what he's doing (except for Guillermo somehow???) not only given how we've seen him act all episode, but also from his small, shocked "Wait, what?" when Guillermo agrees with him

This season has really been hammering home that Nandor wants to spend time with Guillermo in his company, highlighting his emotional fragility when he:

inserts himself into Laszlo & Guillermo's experiments (and goes to space solely to impress him! And ADMITS This On Camera)

Dejectedly mentions he's invited Guillermo to go to the gym with him

is shown searching for Guillermo around the house

and (in the latest ep) is essentially shown to seek Guillermo out for reassurance/in order to feel safe.

Nandor wants & seeks out Guillermo's company/affection, but has been rejected too many times this season. That's why he closes himself off/claims to not need Guillermo once he does show up, he feels hurt/neglected/abandoned by Guillermo not being there for him in his time of need. Unfortunately for him aloofness doesnt reverse-psycology Guillermo back into his arms & he and Guillermo spend the rest of the episode apart too, only this time by choice. (The irony being that Guillermo WANTS to be here & Wants to help & if Nandor showed him a fraction of the vulnerability he'd shown everyone else the whole episode, Guillermo would have jumped to reassure him/given him everything he'd been seeking since his news "blunder")

We are absolutely being set up for a devastating reveal. Laszlo was right, Nandor's getting fucking destroyed.

Hi! Reverse Firesteel reader here!

Wow, finally Daenerys view has come!

It seems both Tyrion and Daenerys quite confident that her dragons can take on Vhagar. I mean, yeah it's 2:1. BUT THIS IS FREAKING VHAGAR.

A smaller dragon and a meaner rider — her own ancestor — had killed Aemond Targaryen and Vhagar already once. She would do it another time if he turned out to be real and against to her and she would ensure this time it stuck.

HELLO, even Caraxes was much bigger than any of Dany’s dragons. Not to mention that he was veteran of many battles as much as Vhagar.

Is it even possible on their size? How big are Drogon and Rhaegal right now?

And Daenerys is a descendant of Rhaenyra AND Daemon, so if she had learned her family's history, she can imagine how much Aemond would hate his half-sister and uncle. Is it truly wonder to her he didn't ask her hand?

I can't wait for Daenerys to finally meet Aemond.

Thank you for another fantastic chapter! You are my one of the best hotd fic writer!

Hi @ahristata

You raise fine arguments which we can make as omniscent, external readers/viewers.

Let's try to dissect it all.

What you say about Aemond is 100% right and whilst I believe Caraxes was smaller than Vhagar, he was bigger than Drogon but has Daenerys ever seen another dragon save her own?

Viserys was used to see the dragon's skulls in the throne hall, so if he lived to see Daenerys' dragons he would know how little they actually are if confronted with older dragons, but Daenerys doesn't have that term of paragon.

She might know Vhagar was very big, but she might be overestimating how big Drogon an Rhaegal actually are, she might think that two of them at that size — and growing bigger with each year as she said — could say their own against Vhagar who is bigger, but also older and perhaps slower.

It stands to reason, especially with how powerful the dragons have been physically and psycologically for her, that she would think to easily stand a good chance, especially as, to her knowledge she is the only Unburnt Targaryen in history. As s8 Tyrion put it, she walked into a fire and walked out alive and with three dragons she might also believe that the Iron throne isn't only her right but her destiny, as also displayed in her dragon dreams.

Plus, Daenerys is very young and inexperienced in the politics of the west; in the east her brute strength was good enough to make her the victor (and still she had trouble in Meereen where her rule the most faced resistance; and Yunkai' government she created imploded in the matter of months) and the Dothraki way good enough to get her what she wanted.

She has no recollection of how the Realm actually works, with its lords and feudal system beyond a theoretical knowledge. One good example is the mere fact that whilst she accepts (to which degree it remains to be seen) that her father was a madman she still believes that Viserys ought to have been crowned king and bases her right on Aerys' time as king.

We always say she's hypocrital and she is, but I don't think she is aware of how much of an hypocrit she is. Yes, her father was a madman, but he was still the king.

Yes, Viserys was unfit to rule, but he was still the rightful king.

She thinks she's better than both — and she is — but she also keep basing her birthright on them. Why? Because she doesn't understand that it was the lords who offered Robert the crown after he won the Rebellion; she doesn't accept that. She doesn't respect their choice to determinate themselves because she thinks like an autocrat; not like a queen who actually needs her lords/ladies allegiance to rightfully esercise her “birthright”. She believes to be an illuminated queen because she tries to play nice with opposition, though she really does not, and insetad just exercises her power thinking of all lords and ladies (nobles in the east) to be below them and that she is has been merciful to spare them, as if she doesn't understand that you cannot rule only over those who venerate you. The moment some of the nobles betray her, she punishes all of them.

All of this to say; yes theorically Daenerys knows Vhagar is bigger and battletested, but she also believes in her right and in her dreams and doesn't really understand — because she doesn't have the experience — what that entails, not only about dragonbattle but about the several reasons why Aemond could pose a better candidate and actually has a better chance to rule than her.

So, that's why Daenerys is so confident.

Now Tyrion... Tyrion is a smart man but he also famously can be incapabale of seeing beyond his point of view (which is why he keeps asking himself “where do whores go” pertaining Tysha even after Jaime came clean about it). So yes, he knows how big Vhagar is, he knows his history, but he also knows that Aemond and the Starks had yet to deploy the dragon so it stands to reason that the Stark' honor might keep a tight rein on the dragon.

Daenerys in the East to his knowledge has three dragons (perhaps two, but it's still more than one) and she has used them with little to none prompting, and he believes he might manipulate her better than he could outsmart Aemond and the Starks. Also, Tyrion too, might have read about dragonbattle but has never seen one, he cannot know the difference a saddle might make, or that Daenerys didn't educate herself on that matter.

Yes, Aemond hated Rhaenyra and Daemon, but Dany is not them — just like she's not her father, she might ask forgiveness for their sins but she's not guilty of them and should not be treated as such in her mind — and she is a fullblooded, trueborn Targaryen. In her mind it makes sense, she has two dragons and he one. In her mind the smart thing would be to join their forces.

Plus, never forget, Daenerys thought there might be out there in The world two men who would ride her dragons and whom she could trust — and whilst that's very optimistic — it also displays how she sees herself as the special woman between women, the other riders have to be men, because this way she can be Aegon the Conqueror come again, instead if there was even one woman she'd end up being the side-dish and not the main-course, the consort and not the regnant.

Seeing all of this, coupled with Viserion' death, and the news that this Aemond hasn't even reached out to her — like she was petulant about the nobles in Qart not poisoning her because she was not considered a powerful guest — but chose to marry instead this little girl with no dragon is unthinkable to her. It offende her.

It's gonna be fire when they meet, that's for sure!

Thank you for the lovely message, I hope you have an amazing day/night!

One thing that confuses me is that if it were the other way around geto wouldn't kill gojo he would understand why gojo was doing that but he wouldn't kill him. Something I noticed is that Gojo is strong in terms of strength but he is weak psychologically He pretends to be arrogant but is a fragile character, breaking and still living in the past. I think Satura Gojo is one of the most complex characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. 1.Your personality appears to be fake. 2. his emotions are very limited, like crying, sadness almost all the time, he is happy, which scares me. 3. Your arrogance irritates me a lot. I have a question which do you prefer geto or gojo? ps; I prefer geto. If you can answer I would appreciate it.

I prefer Gojo :D

And he is a complex character, I wouldn't describe him as psycologically weak though. There is much to say about him, so here in no particular order:

he does show limited emotions, but that is mostly because of his position and the mentality that being a sorcerer brings with it. Yuji literally trained to keep his emotions in check and the same goes for others and gojo, too

Gojo had weak moments in his life where his mind wavered. First, when he couldn't decide on what to do with Geto in front of KFC when he defected even though it was his responsibility to deal with him. And later in Shibuya, when he was thrown off by Kenjaku which led to him being sealed. After his unboxing, he made sure to be in even more control of his emotions which is why we didn't see him distraught when he saw Megumi being possessed or when he found out that Nanami died

We've only seen two instances after his unboxing where he was a little bit distraught again: when he realized that he hurt Megumi with his sure-hit and when he thought he would die before Sukuna's domain collapsed. Shibuya is a cautionary tale for Gojo; he can't let his emotions take of hold of him anymore so he keeps a tight lid on them for the most part (until Yuji wanted to hit him on the back for good luck, then he got a little loose again)

Overall, I would say that Gojo doesn't have a fragile character or is weak psycologically. He only gets pushed around in everyday life by the higher-ups because he lets them and only with Geto and Megumi does he have weak points to be exploited.

Now, what would've happened if it had been the other way around with Gojo and Geto. In canon, Gojo already understands why Geto is doing what he does. We actually have to ask ourselves here why Gojo killed Geto in the first place.

Because Geto was a murderer and Gojo saw no reason to believe he would change. And Gojo took his place in society seriously, especially as that of a teacher. Geto had just tried to kill Gojo's students (and from Gege we learn that the JJHigh third-years of that time died in the NIght Parade) and Gojo wasn't sympathetic to Geto's mass murder plans. So he killed him because of duty (and maybe to prevent his friend from falling even further down.)

In reverse, we need to ask ourselves: would Geto take his duty as seriously? Would he sympathize with a defected Gojo? Would he be content in letting his former friend live as long as he would stop doing what he did? Would Geto, unlike Gojo, use his supreme strength as a bargaining chip to force Gojo to confirm to his will?

All of that is up for interpretation :D

Last thing here, I don't think that Gojo is living in the past. Yes, the airport makes that sound a little ridiculous but I still stand by my belief that Gojo and everyone else turning young was because of Gojo's mentality shifting to his younger and more battle thirsty self against Sukuna, and that he and everyone else will take their normal ages again when we revisit the airport.

(There is another ask in my ask box I wanted to do some manga re-reading first before I get to it, so whoever sent it to me, don't worry it's not forgotten.)

Leif applying something akin to reverse psycology on Harald and calling it a science of the mind, was not the flex I was expecting 🤣

[moonouns]

What would have served absolute cunt is if during part 6 sherlocks deducting skills were outdone only by lupins sheer purposeful stupidity.

Like imagine Lupin has stolen an ultra important safe holding a very expensive item that can only be cracked with a specific sequence of numbers. So sherlock deduces the location of the safe via an insane mental circus or whatever he does. But now that he has it, he discovers the code has been changed. Therefore lupin must still be holding the item inside, now secure from everyone but him. Sherlock, confident as ever, announces code cracking is his specialty. He uses algorithms, reverse psycology, the whole lot. And ots all incorrect. He tries again, assuming that Lupin had somehow anticipated his line of thought. And fails.

Zenigata walks up and punches in 42069. "because that's what he always uses. Its even his computer password. He has the sense of humor of a middle schooler." the safe opens. There's a calling card with a crudely drawn penis inside. Sherlock is decimated for at least 2 weeks

Yup. Classic UK. Use reverse psycology to continue a progrom.

They know exactly what they're doing.

A threw herself into Bill's fandom! She did a lot of disrespectful things to expose the man she supposedly loves just to get some attention from HIS fans. Now she, and her stans, are hurt bc the fandom doesn't talk about either anymore? I have seen a lot more blogs lately posting fun, positive things about Bill again. Is that the problem? Are we focusing on our dude again and not his crazy partner? That's why this anon keeps bringing up A. They, like A, just want that attention again. Sad really.

Exactly, recently the gossip "mean" blogs have been very quiet or posting other stuff and other blogs are posting ( what they can) about Bill only... so I guess that anon was trying to play some reverse psycology and get me to talk ( rant) about A and nope im not doing that. Anon mistaken me with other blog.

“You don’t have to say anything.”

Being silent was a lesser chosen path of hers. At least in comparison to her brother, Rukia was far more chatty, burstful even, and more often than not came off strongly opinionated. Or at least she tended to think that was the case. Really she just knew better to cover herself in distractions and business rather than strange silence that was far too much unlike her.

When she was casually approached in conversation about her experience in Hueco Mundo by the other she quickly curled up, slowing down, becoming cautious of her words. Was it so obvious that something was still pulling her on the matter? It was a feeling similar to being caught and cornered, much like the days when she would get snagged for her thievery. Likely sensing Rukia’s apprehension, the conversation seemed to step back, Eri allowing Rukia a get away, perhaps remembering a another time when things had gotten a little heated between them when one particular topic was brought up. That entrapped sensation fades at those words as Rukia allows her tightly clenched hands to fall to her side and she finally allows herself to let out a breath. 

The other’s words are enough for her to hesitate; in this moment there is so much she could say, but her voice feels caught in her throat, trapped between her mind and her mouth. Even now she feels like there is still things that she is processing from then, but until now the thoughts were festering, bouncing around in her head without escape. And it is true that she could say nothing at all and leave it at that, but she holds herself to a better standard than that. Rather than taking the opportunity to grasp that silence, she shakes her head, refusing to take that easy path and braving herself to bring the words out of her. Still, she’s not quite fierce and certain about all the things to talk about them directly, so she begins with speaking of things indirectly, starting with more solid facts rather than feelings or thoughts. Grasping or taking others up on offers like this was something she wasn’t used to either.

Her hand rises to touch her chest, compulsively hovering about the scar there that seemed to light with a flame at the memory of his trident through the flesh. “I’m pretty sure I should have been dead. …Or I was?“ As her brows furrow, trying to recall the strange sensation, she trails off, still mystified to this day quite how she survived. That fight wasn’t quite a defeat that she was downput by, despite it being one of her most recent fights since reobtaining her powers, an unseated officer taking down an espada was a unique tale that had never been heard of before But for Rukia there was an honor in putting an old spirit that she owed so much to at peace, or so she liked to think of it. The whole thing had a sort of final farewell to it all. Maybe it would be alright to talk to someone who wasn’t so close to the matter. “That espada… he had the body and face of my old lieutenant.” She clarifies, glancing down at the palm of her hand. “It wasn’t some sort of illusion or manifestation either, that was really his form, I could tell.” The feel of his hand on her head; her body remembered all the habits and sensations instantly as so uniquely Kaien. She wasn’t brave enough to say that she couldn’t bring herself to cut him down with that look without proving to herself that it wasn’t truly him, and that his appearance had made her take far more injuries during the battle than she would like to admit.

Still refusing to break, Rukia keeps up her tough appearance, barely blinking as she glances back up. Unlike that night from before this time was different; the battle was long and intended, her soul full of determination and not fright. With this final blow she knew what she did was right. It didn’t excuse her old sins, but it relieved her somewhat of an old burden; while the event was like reliving a nightmare it felt like she shattered it, at least able to see things more clearly and stand a little taller to face all directions; past, present, or future. . 

But there was still the fact that she had learned that it was that spirit that had been used for years, trapped in Hueco Mundo since the demise that she thought she delivered all those years ago. She falters, clenching her jaw, and speaking quickly. “I have put that man through too much. If only I had known sooner. I--” Would she have braved through Hueco Mundo and brave herself to try and face that monster? Back then, when the loss and guilt was more fresh, she knows she wouldn’t have hesitated to try anything for redemption, no matter if she shook at the thought. 

Feeling vulnerable for too long, Rukia takes a sudden turn, bringing her hands to her hips and beaming with pride as she stands up straight and hums. “Well, with my great abilities and strength, I was able to take him down and that’s all that matters.“
