#scenario: two characters have a misunderstanding and break up

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

I am once again reminding everyone that

"I think that character will regret that decision; I can see the bad consequences coming, and if they were a real person I would yell at them." (you were engaged enough with the characters that they feel like real people capable of making their own choices)

"I would have liked the story better if the character had made a different decision" (a matter of personal preference with no bearing on the quality of the writing itself, or even whether you agree with the decision that was made in-universe)

and "Given what we've seen from this character previously, the writer having them make that decision broke my immersion" (an actual critique)

are all different statements and do not mean the same thing, even if they can all be phrased as "I don't like that the character made that decision"

[cummin-n-cryin]

Hello! can I request a scenario where Jade, Floyd and Riddle (Separately) are being put in an arranged marriage (since the tweels are definitely in a mafia family and riddle’s mom would do that) but they are dating/in love with the (Gender Neutral) reader, whether the ending is happy or not is up to you

~Thank you for your request!

~Jade Leech~

Jade was on his way to meet up with you for the picnic date you two had planned together when he had gotten a sudden text from his parents telling him that they needed to have a long chat.

He wasn't too worried about such a text. It may be ominous to some but it was a typical text when his parents wanted to discuss their 'business' with him. They weren't going to just text him about what was actually going on. It would be quite embarrassing if someone were to look at his phone and find out about his family's business, wouldn't it?

So, he sent you a text explaining that he may be a few minutes late to your date. He smiled at your quick response. He was glad you were so kind and understanding.

Deciding to hide behind a tree a little way off the path he had been walking on, he called his parents. The conversation started normally, a casual hello and asking how they've been but he could hear the nervousness in his mother's voice.

"Mother, is something wrong?" he asked concerned. His mother was quiet for a moment before saying, "Well, me and your father have made a decision and we know you may not like it but, its for the family," she said.

"What do you mean?" Jade asked. His mother seemed to have a hard time finding the right words before she sighed and decided to be blunt about what was going on.

As her words hit his ears he froze. The words, "arranged marriage," echoed within his mind. He was frozen to the spot, unable to move or speak as his heart felt like it stopped beating.

This... This has to be a misunderstanding.

He tried to regain some composure before responding to his parents. He told them how he can't get married because he's already in a relationship. He can't just drop you and go get married to someone he doesn't even know!

Jade tried his best to remain calm, "I'm afraid I can't accept as I'm already in a relationship with a very lovely person and I have no plans on breaking up with them for someone I don't know."

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice in the matter," his father said on the line before his mother quickly interrupted, "We know that you're already in love dear and we're happy for you but sometimes things need to happen and-" Jade interrupted, "I understand. We'll talk more about it later I need to go," he said as he quickly ended the call.

He was shaking so bad he could barely stand. He tried taking some deep breaths to calm himself down. His phone suddenly vibrates and he looks down to see a text from you asking where he was. He smiled a little but as he goes to text you back, he suddenly feels something wet on his hand. Looking at his hand he sees what looks to be a droplet of water and he quickly touches his face, he's crying. He tries to quickly dry his eyes as he clears his throat to try and regain his composure.

He texts you that he's on his way and quickly heads back to the path he was walking. Eventually, he meets up with you and you both have a fun date together.

Jade won't tell you about what had happened. He tells himself that its better you don't know so that things don't get overcomplicated but in truth, it's because he's afraid of your reaction. Great Seven forbid you think he's actually in love with his wedding partner and decide to leave him. He can't let that happen. So, he keeps quiet and does what he does best. He pretends. He pretends that everything is fine and that there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Later it would turn out that the marriage wasn't something he would be able to easily escape out of. Everything had been made official for the wedding and now all he could do was wait for the day to come. Of course, he had asked his parents why this was happening in the first place and he should've expected the answer but it still came as a surprise to him. Money and reputation. Of course, none of it had to do with love, in fact, they don't expect him to love his new partner at all. Sure, it would be great but it's not expected.

Great Seven help him. Jade understands why their doing this but even so, it still hurts. He almost feels like an object his parents are selling away.

He really tried his best to change his parents' minds but, in the end, he won't go against his parent's wishes. He won't run away from this even though he really wants to. Well, it's not like he really could. His parents and their connections would find him rather quickly either way.

While Jade wasn't certain about his future, there was one thing he was certain about. There was absolutely no way that he was going to break up with you. You've brought him so much joy and you've made him feel loved in a way no one else ever has.

The wedding date creeps nearer and while he grows nervous on the inside, he continues pretending that everything's fine. He truly hates lying to you but it was for the best. Sometimes you get very close to figuring out there's something wrong but he quickly distracts you so you won't catch on.

Eventually, he tells you that he has to go back home to visit his parents for a while. Unbeknownst to you, he's getting married.

And again, this is where Jade does what he does best. Pretending to at least like the bride is an easy feat. He has no problems dancing or even kissing them. However, that's as far as his masquerade goes. He'll pretend the reason as to why he doesn't want to get any more intimate with the bride is that he's just simply nervous and luckily, no one ever pushes him on the topic.

Overall, the wedding goes smoothly. It's a formal affair with very little excitement which leaves Jade quite bored at the end of it.

If he's made to live in the same home as the bride, he's very good at sneaking out unnoticed. He'll play the loving husband role as long as he needs to convince his new partner to not get suspicious of him. But as soon as he can, he's getting out of there to return to you. While he can't stay too far from his new home for too long, he'll do as much as he can to see you.

Even now Jade won't tell you of his marriage and if you notice that he doesn't hang out with you as often as he used to, he'll just say that work has been keeping him busy and change the topic. If he had the choice, he'd never tell you about his arranged marriage but he knows that there might be a day where he will have to.

And if you ever find out about his arranged marriage he'll sit down with you and explain the situation to you. He's afraid of your reaction but he really doesn't like lying to you.

He's just so worried that if you ever found out he's married you'll want to leave him and he loves you far too much to let that happen.

Jade will try to communicate with his parents. Perhaps he only needs to be married to this person for a certain amount of time? That would be ideal as then all he would have to do is wait and then he can leave without too much fuss.

But, if he's meant to be permanently married to them well... He may have to make a few decisions.

Jade is not against using much more darker methods to escape this marriage he's been forced into. He knows quite a lot about plants and there's some that would be very helpful in this kind of situation. Ideally, he wouldn't have to turn to such methods but, well, sometimes things need to happen.

Once his new partner is gone, he'll return to you as quickly as possible and who knows, perhaps this event is enough to encourage him to take your relationship to the next level.

~Floyd Leech~

Floyd was lounging around your apartment as he waited for you to come back from work.

He laid back on the couch as the TV droned on in the background. He was incredibly bored and started to space out, getting lost within his own mind when his phone's ringtone startled him from his trance.

He clumsily grabbed the phone off the table next to him, "Who is it?" he asked irritated. His tone quickly changed from irritated to excited as he heard his parent's voice on the phone.

The conversation was typical. His parents asking him how he's been and him reassuring them, especially his mom, that he's alright. But he could tell that something was bothering them, "Hey ma, is something going on?" concern laced in his voice. His mother seemed hesitant to respond, "Well, me and your father have put a lot of thought into this decision and we know that you may not like it but we have good reason-" Floyd interrupted, "Just say it mama." His mother sighed and told him what had happened.

As much as Floyd loves unexpected surprises this was probably the worst surprise he's ever gotten in his entire life.

"What?!" he yelled into the phone as he bolted up from the couch. The words, "arranged marriage," was loud in his mind.

"You're joking right?" he asked, desperately hoping that this was some kind of weird joke but they denied that it was a joke and they were completely serious. He started to panic. He couldn't tell if he wanted to laugh, cry, or scream. He was becoming overwhelmed as the situation became more real by the minute.

He tried to stay calm, taking deep breaths as he argued with his parents. "I'm already in a relationship! I'm not just gonna drop 'em for someone I don't know or even care about," Floyd said slightly panicking.

His father spoke calmly through the phone, "Floyd, you should know that sometimes we have to do things we don't like or want to do. That's how this business works and unfortunately, we sometimes have to leave people behind."

Floyd laughed bitterly, "This is so fucking stupid. Are you seriously telling me to break up with them?"

His father responded, his tone cold, "We don't care how you do it, just get it done. We don't need to make this more complicated then it needs to be."

Floyd ran his hand through his hair in disbelief, "No, no, no, I'm not doing that."

His father's voice was stern as he responded, "It doesn't matter if you want to do it or not. It's for the business, you'll understand later."

Floyd yelled into the phone, "You're really doing this to me?!" He couldn't keep calm anymore.

His mother spoke trying to calm him down, "Floyd please-"

Floyd interrupted yelling, "SHUT UP!" as he threw his phone full force into a nearby wall making a hole and shattering the screen.

Tears streamed down his face as his heart hammered in his chest. He couldn't calm himself down, he was beyond pissed. He grabbed a nearby chair and threw it in a random direction hearing something shatter. He couldn't stop himself. He grabbed anything nearby him and either threw it or slammed it into something else. He punched, threw, and tore whatever he could as he became blinded by his anger.

He didn't realize how long he was going at it until he heard you opening the front door to your apartment. He was breathing heavily as he sat himself on the now torn up couch.

He heard your gasp of surprise but didn't look at you, instead he hid his face in his hands.

"Floyd! What the hell happened?" you asked looking around at all the broken furniture.

He kept his face hidden in his hands as he mumbled out, "I'm sorry."

You sighed and sat down next to him on your now ruined couch. "Floyd-" you began but are quickly interrupted as he pulled you into a tight hug. As you awkwardly rub his back you feel something wet on your shoulder only to realize he was crying.

"What happened?" you ask him gently. He doesn't respond, instead he hugs you tighter as he silently cries into your shoulder.

After awhile, he pulls away from you rubbing his eyes, "AHHH- Shrimpy you won't belieeeeve it!" he says dramatically as he falls back on the couch, "My parents are tryin' to get me married to some idiot or whatever," he sniffles as he messes with the fabric on the couch.

"You're what?!" you yell in disbelief. "Wha- why?" Floyd shrugged, "Eh, I dunno. I'll ask em' later."

You look around at all the broken furniture, "I'm guessing that's what made you destroy my apartment?" Floyd sighed, "Yeah, I'll help fix it later."

You both fall quiet. You start to grow worried as you think about this marriage he's supposed to be in. You glance over at Floyd, "So, about that marriage thing..."

You're nervous as he sits up on the couch, "I'm not agreeing to it. It's just some stupid paper anyway. Stupid marriage keeping me trapped," Floyd grumbled out mostly to himself. You don't know why but his words made you feel a bit insecure, "Well if that's the case then in a way aren't I keeping you trapped?"

Floyd stared at you before letting out a small laugh, "Nah you ain't keeping me trapped Shrimpy. The difference between the marriage and our relationship is that I actually chose to be here with you and at least I can leave our relationship whenever I want."

"Hey!" you yelled incredulously, slapping him with a nearby pillow. Floyd laughed, "I never said I was goin' to leave!" You smiled, "Good because I don't know what I'd do without you."

Overtime, you can easily see the shift in Floyd's personality as he goes from his usual happy and cuddly self to irritable and barely seeing you at all. And when he does get the chance to see you, he cuddles you for hours on end before he disappears again.

Floyd really tried to stay with you but his parents had made their decision. He complains a lot to you about the whole situation telling you how he hates everyone and everything and how the only person he ever wants to marry is you. He guessed the money was too good to pass up and the thought left a bitter taste in his mouth. It made him feel like he was some object being sold and it pissed him off greatly.

Sooner than he'd like, the wedding date arrives and reluctantly he goes. He may hate his parents for this but he won't go against them. That doesn't mean he won't make things difficult for them and everyone else involved.

The wedding is a formal affair that leaves Floyd very bored. He wants nothing to do with his new partner but he can try to pretend to like them. He'll dance around with them but it's not his fault if his new bride almost gets their arm ripped out from it's socket. He'll even say his vows and kiss the bride even though it makes him want to throw up. But he'll do it for his parents and if it makes this whole event end faster then whatever, he'll do it.

If he's made to live in the same home as the bride, Floyd will almost never be home with them and if his family or his wife's family try dragging him back, he'll fight them the whole way there. Floyd makes it very clear to his new partner that he absolutely doesn't love them. There's only one person that he wants to spend the rest of his life with and it's you.

He doesn't get why anyone, especially the bride, would care about this marriage anyway. Both their families probably set them up for money reasons so why should Floyd care about it? If he could, he'd just say he doesn't give a shit and leave.

Floyd is more likely the one who'd kill their new partner. He absolutely can't stand being trapped and if he's supposed to spend the rest of his life with this person with no way out then he's gonna get irritated really quick.

He isn't heartless however, he knows that his new partner might share his feelings of irritation and that's why he'd much rather just get a divorce than go as far as to kill them.

But, sometimes we have to do things we don't really want to do.

Floyd will find a way back to you. Whether it be with clean hands and a bouquet of flowers to apologize for his absence or with bloody bruised knuckles and skin stuck in-between his teeth, he'll come back to you.

He may even decide to marry you as soon as he comes back! How cute! Besides, his parents can't force him into another marriage if he's taken, right?

~Riddle Rosehearts~

Riddle had met up with you in town to take a much-needed break from his job. Getting some fresh air was nice every now and then and it was a nice impromptu date for you two!

You both walked around the town picking up a few things here and there but mostly just spent your time window shopping. Until he suddenly got a call.

Riddle looked down at his phone. It's his mother. He really didn't want to talk to her right now but when you asked who was calling, he quickly tells you it's Trey.

"He's probably just checking in on me," Riddle awkwardly laughs before telling you that he'll be right back as he sneaks off to a more secluded area.

He walked into an empty alleyway. Looking down at the phone again, he grows nervous. He's hesitant to answer but nonetheless he does.

"Hello mother," he greets her with a steady voice. The conversation starts off normal. She asks him about his job and how he's doing. He tells her he's doing great but, the conversation becomes strange as she tells him that she's found him a new partner.

"What do you mean?" Riddle asks confused. "I mean I've found you a new partner and she's far better than the one you have now. She's a very lovely young lady, far more suitable for you," she says happily, "You both will be married soon so I expect you to be here when the date arrives."

Riddle was shocked. Is... this an arranged marriage? Is he being forced into marriage? He never thought his mother would do something like this to him. Not only that but she had the gall to insult you!

His mother continues speaking but he can barely pay attention as he's begins to panic. He needs to say something! He needs to convince her to not go through with it!

His voice is shaky as he tries to reason with his mom, "Mother, I am grateful but as you know I'm already in a relationship with someone and I love them very much. Why can't I marry them instead?"

"Them?" his mother asks snidely. "We both know you can't marry them." His mother continues on telling Riddle that you're unworthy of the Rosehearts name and how Riddle should only settle for the absolute best.

His heart breaks with each reason she gives. But as his heart breaks, his anger rises. How dare she say such things about you! You were one the best things to ever appear in Riddle's life and for her to imply that you weren't the absolute best made him flush red in anger.

However, before he could give her a piece of his mind, she said something that made him pause. "Besides, the marriage has already been finalized," his mother said nonchalantly.

A- already? No wait... So that means that...

Riddle is overcome with an immense feeling of dread as the realization dawns on him. It seems no matter what he does or says, he won't be able to change her mind...

"You... YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" he yells into the phone as he starts to cry.

His mother is silent for a moment before she speaks, her tone is cold as ice and it cuts him to the core, "How dare you talk back to me. After all I've done for you," she pauses for a moment before continuing, "I expect you to be here in the upcoming months for your wedding, understood?"

He swallows thickly, whatever courage he had shatters as he responds with a solemn, "Yes mother," before ending the call.

Bitter tears stream down his face as he falls to his knees. He hates himself for not having the courage to stand his ground against his mother, especially with how much was at risk. He thinks of all the things he could've said or done to possibly change her mind perhaps if he tried harder, he could have convinced her to let him marry you instead.

Riddle suddenly feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns only to see you looking down at him concerned, "Riddle, what's wrong?" you ask as you kneel down next to him.

He opens his mouth to speak but no words come out. He wants to tell you but he just- he can't.

Trying to wipe away his tears, he sniffles, "It's nothing. I just remembered something is all," he said. Riddle could tell you didn't believe him, it wasn't a good lie and he knew it but thankfully you didn't push it. Instead, you both continued on your impromptu date.

Riddle's personality change is obvious to everyone around him. He's absolutely miserable and it shows. His temper getting the better of him more often.

He really wishes he could run away from this. He wishes he had the strength to go against his mother. He wishes he was free of her control but it seems that no matter how hard he tries he can't seem to completely get rid of her.

He ends up overworking himself to distract himself from the reality he's in. He daydreams of grabbing your hand and running away from everyone and everything, far away from his mother. But he can't. He has to face reality whether he likes it or not.

Of course, you notice the way Riddle has changed and he appreciates the concern but he reassures you everything's fine, he's just been very busy.

When the date of the wedding arrives, Riddle is incredibly nervous but he won't run away. He'll try his best to like his new partner or at least pretend to. He may not genuinely love his new partner but he won't treat them harshly, they're a person too. It's only fair to treat them kindly after all, they were probably forced into this as well.

He may dance, laugh, and maybe even kiss his new partner but it doesn't feel the same as when he does those things with you. His heart belongs to you and by the end, he realizes that he misses you dearly.

Riddle will more than likely explain his situation to his new partner in hopes that they will be understanding and if they're kind enough, perhaps they'll let him stay with you.

However, if not then Riddle will try his best to see you when he can. He's not the best at sneaking out unseen but he manages.

At some point you'll figure out he's been married off or he'll go and tell you himself. He was far too afraid to tell you before, when the feelings of hurt were still fresh but while he might feel a bit better now, he's still hesitant to tell you about it. He's worried that now he's married you won't want to be with him anymore.

He hopes that one day he'll be able to get out of his marriage whether it be through divorce or by other means. He may even think of just running away and eloping with you.

Riddle swears that one day his mother will have no control over him. It may not be today or tomorrow but some day he'll run away with you and he'll never look back.

[unhealthy-reading-habits]

Like many people, I binged watched Season 2 of Good Omens on Friday. I had a couple of days to deal with all the emotions, and I’ve now reached an epiphany. What follows here is the mad rambling of a GO apologist.

Warning: Good Omens Season 2 spoilers ahead, do not read if you don’t want spoilers. I will be spoiling the ending of Season 2 in this post. Please go watch it first. I’m also going to mention the ending of two of Jane Austen’s works (P&P and S&S)

The epiphany: Good Omens is a romantic story. Both Crowley and Aziraphale asked for this heartbreak but both are so woefully naïve about what love is, they didn’t even realise what they were asking for.

What do I mean by this?

In episode 2 (S2), they both describe what they think a romantic scenario is, but both are only focusing on the romantic finale. They are not thinking about the build-up to that moment, which includes a heartbreaking separation which only then leads to those romantic conclusions.

They are actually describing the same romantic scenario of having a separation and then reuniting in love again, they just present the scene differently.

Crowley describes his idea of romance as two people looking longingly into each other's eyes in the rain. He does say “beneath a canopy” but follows the above line by saying that if you “get humans wet and staring into each other’s eyes”, this is what makes them fall in love, so Crowley is talking about confirming your love in the rain.

Examples in Richard Curtis films

Four Weddings and a Funeral - No cover, just rain kissing

Bridget Jones's Diary - No cover, just snow kissing

At face value, we think Crowley is saying the rain thing because of what happened at Eden, and I think that is part of it. But keep in mind that during the "before the beginning" scene and at the Eden scene, neither of them stared into each other’s eyes. They both kept facing forward.

What Crowley is actually describing is the romantic trope of the protagonist couple having a love-confirming kiss in the rain. The issue is the “confirmation” love kiss occurs after there is a period of separation or break-up in the relationship itself.

It’s sometimes called the “Second-Act Breakup” or "Third-Act Breakup" and the ending of Season 2 is a classic set-up for a Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario.

The trope often happens after the couple get into a big fight/misunderstanding/some event that breaks the two people up. The “under a canopy” bit isn’t the important detail here, the actual romantic scene Crowley is eluding to is the reunion kiss in the rain. To get a reunion kiss though, you need to break up properly first.

The romantic film story for the reunion kiss in the rain is only fully satisfying because it’s the moment after the horrible low of the two breaking apart, trying to forget the other person and thinking that they might not be together. So when the two characters do reunite at the end, it is a great romantic conclusion to the story.

Aziraphale described his idea of romance as going to a ball in a Jane Austen novel, where the characters realise they misunderstood each other, but the misunderstanding has to come first in this case.

It’s very obvious that the Good Omens 2 story is only halfway through and is written like a Jane Austen novel, which is blatantly said throughout the show.

[Side note: it’s been years since I read these novels so I’m hoping I’m not misremembering.]

Pride & Prejudice – Elizabeth angrily and rather viciously rejects Mr Darcy’s proposal mid-way through the novel and the remainder of the story is the “being separated” phase of the romance until they are reconciled at the end.

Sense & Sensibility – Elinor’s affection for Edward is disrupted by Lucy Steele’s presence as Edward’s fiancé half way through the novel. This “break up” of the courting between Elinor and Edward is only resolved at the end of the story when Lucy leaves Edward and he is now free to propose to Elinor.

The two most well-known stories by Jane Austen have a break up/separation scene about half way through, which the characters have to work through to then have the reunited happy ending.

For the Break-Up/Make-Up story, the two romantic interested need to finally realise/decide to disregard everything else, settle the misunderstanding and reunite, that’s the finality of the romance. To get this scene, you have to go through the break-up where the two separate first to get those raw emotions, which makes the reunited ending so incredible.

Yes, Aziraphale and Crowley have had fights and temporary lapses in their relationship, like the bandstand scene. But it’s not really them that are causing the break-up. It’s outside forces pressuring them, the environment around them making them act this way. They are also only fighting about something external (raising the antichrist, finding the antichrist etc).

This break-up is more personal, it is them individually instigating the break-up over their own intimate relationship. It’s not the usual song-and-dance, this is Aziraphale choosing a plan and Crowley choosing a different plan and both are too stubborn to relent.

It is Crowley and Aziraphale choosing to split because they cannot reconcile their opposing views about their own relationship and both choose to walk away from the situation.

There is a hypothesis about the “coffee” and Metatron’s maybe brainwashing here, but in my opinion, Aziraphale still chose his plan for their relationship over Crowley’s plan for their relationship. This was a conscious choice on Aziraphale's part.

This time, they were arguing about themselves, which led to a true break-up. An irreconcilable argument between them that they must work through so their relationship can mature:

Crowley still cannot understand that Aziraphale will never run away with him to be just the two of them. Aziraphale cares too much about Earth and humanity and wants to help people, so Aziraphale will never just leave.  

Aziraphale still cannot accept that Crowley is not and does not want to be an angel. Aziraphale is not listening to Crowley when he says he does not want to go back to how things were before because he is genuinely happy with just being with Aziraphale.

Aziraphale consistently reminds himself that Crowley is a demon because (maybe knowingly, maybe subconsciously) he still sees him as an angel.

Crowley’s good actions further emphasise what Aziraphale already knows, that Crowley is a good person, but it’s very difficult for Aziraphale to separate the concepts of “good” and “angel”.

Both of them are not accepting the other as they truly are. Their relationship needs a real break-up, caused by themselves so that they can learn to accept each other as their full authentic selves.

We have to endure the low points to fully enjoy the high points.

Neil Gaiman has been very clear he intends there to be a season 3 so this love story is only halfway through, and frustratingly the break-up scene is the end of season 2. It’s like ending P&P when Elizabeth rejects Mr Darcy’s first proposal, or ending The Notebook as Allie sees the newspaper article about Noah but not showing them getting back together.

We know Crowley and Aziraphale will end up at the South Downs cottage. It’s just an emotional heart-wrenching journey between the two points. But when we get that reunion between them, it’s going to be delicious.

P.S. Neil Gaiman, you goddamn tease, if you are going for a full P&P/kiss in the rain experience, I really hope we get an Aziraphale wet shirt scene

Calling for a SKZ roleplay!

Hi!! As you can see my name is Kyu, currently 24, and starting my summer break for the year! With only my part-time job to keep me busy during the summer months I am very free to amble about all day thinking of my eight favorite brainrot men and dreaming up little plots for them. Since writing fanfiction is nice but not as engaging and entertaining as roleplaying, I'm looking for someone who might want to chill out, go a little (a lot) nuts over them and write out some scenarios! 🍃

Talking about my roleplaying style: I'm a novella writer. That means you are getting at least 1-7k+ replies from yours truly, and it also means I am thirsting for someone who goes just as crazy with the internal monologue, the backflashes, the in-depth character exploration as I do! If I'm fed two listless little paragraphs in response to a 5k post then my motivation just flags. My grammar is (this comes off as snobby, I know) flawless except for the occasional typo or slip of the keyboard, and I like to think of my writing as rather engaging. What I really need from a roleplay partner is communication, activeness and friendliness, though. I'm very energetic sometimes and can ramble for hours about possible what-ifs in our roleplay, so I would very much like someone who wants to become friends, strikes up conversation as much as I do, and generally doesn't mind rants and fawning! 🍃

As far as topics and genres go: I love me some fluff and romance but angst, hurt, comfort, drama, misunderstandings are sooo good! I'm all in for dead dove themes and smut also, so long as we have a decent plot for it to fit into! If we get to talking I am also more than happy to provide a list of my kinks and no-nos for you to skim over and see if we'd be compatible in that regard. My absolutely favorite verses to play are omegaverse or hybrid verses, in which I am a strong stickler for the version where omegas/prey hybrids are naturally AFAB no matter their gender. 🍃

I play on Discord in private servers for easy organization and comfort!

Let's get to the (I assume) interesting part for you! I am generally all-in on every single member/member ship (NOT looking for any oc/member or self-inserts as that doesn't vibe with me at all and I don't like the notion of it) but of course I have some favorites, those being MinChan, MinSung, JeongChan, ChanBin, ChanSung and JeongLix! Still, I am very open to suggestions as I love all of my boys and am excited to play them, also as a pack, OT8, or any variation including however many of the members! 🍃

There are some plots I've been mulling over, most of them little snippets or vibes more than actual plotlines, but I'll try to piece them together coherently for your perusal once we get to talking and sort out or preferences! 🍃

Please shoot me a message that possibly also introduces yourself and I'll get back to you with haste! Will not be considering Likes/Reblogs since that low level of initiative and engagement is not what I'm looking for!🍃

Have a lovely day and thank you so much for reading through all this! 💖🍃

Masterlist

*btw, Yile is pronounced as Yi Le (in Chinese pronunciation), it is not supposed to rhyme with Kyle

Part 4: Green

Yile’s POV:

Life was getting more consistent. Yile would wake up, have breakfast and a cup of coffee, attend casting calls, work meetings and look through scripts. After all that, she would gym, go grocery shopping, talk with Xinhui and do a rigorous skincare regime. Maybe squeeze in journaling if she felt like it. She loved feeling productive.

She sighed for the nth time that day.

“Boy problems?” Xinhui questioned.

Yile sighed in response. “I don’t know what to do Xinhui! Minghao asked to be friends two days ago. I’m still not sure what to tell him.”

“Why though?”

“Because I’m afraid that people would misunderstand! He’s a K-pop idol for goodness sake! Everyone knows that some fans, no matter how understanding, would turn their backs if they knew that their oppa had a female friend.”

“Seventeen has plenty of female friends though?”

“Yea I know. The other problem is, I might like him a tiny bit more than just friends. I don’t know if I can handle being just friends with him. I don’t wanna ruin things you know. I want to be honest with him from the start and not lead him on.”

“How noble of you.” Xinhui commented wryly.

Now that Minghao had made the first move, he had gained an extra point in Yile’s book. His confidence was appealing. During the events, Yile became more and more certain of her feelings for him. Whenever she caught him staring at her in the events with the most ridiculous puppy eyes, her heart strained to stay still. Even as she was mingling around, his eyes were still glued to her. This was all so heart-wrenching and tiring and painful.

“What should I do Xinhui” Yile was ready to pull her hair out in frustration.

Minghao’s POV:

During his break, Minghao was anxiously scrolling on social media. Why hadn’t Yile replied to his message? It had been two days. Alright, it was only two days. But TWO days?? Were people this indecisive in accepting a friendship?

Vernon sauntered over to him. “Whatcha thinking? You look constipated.”

“Just waiting for a reply.” Minghao sighed.

“From the girl you told me about yesterday?”

Minghao nodded. Vernon brows knit together in deep thought.

“Since you gave her two possible answers, could it be that her reply isn’t any of them?” Vernon offered.

A lightbulb went off in Minghao’s mind. His friend was a genius. But why would she have a different answer than yes and no? He asked his friend so.

”Maybe she wants something more than friends?”

Or something less than friends, Minghao thought sadly.

“Hoi, don’t think so lowly of yourself Minghao!”, Vernon spoke. “Nobody in their right minds would reject your offer. I can say from firsthand experience that you are a really good friend and that anyone who thinks otherwise is well, dumb.” Minghao smiled at his friend’s passion. “Thanks for encouraging me.” “Anytime man.”

As they went back to filming, Minghao’s phone pinged.

Yile’s POV:

“I can do this. I will do this. I am doing this.” Yile said under her breath. Her fans on Instagram were also awaiting updates on what she was doing so this wouldn’t be too “out of character”.

[x-authorship-x]

Hi🌻💕💕💕

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

🍐 Is there anything in canon that you absolutely hate and love to fix in fics? A wrong choice made, a fuck-up in characterization, a misunderstanding never cleared up, a conversation never shown onscreen, etc…

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

Hi Sisdiss 🥰

🍌 I don't know if I've really cracked joke-jokes, I usually prefer ludicrous scenarios in the body text and then A/N memes afterwards, but.... Favourite silly situation is Squad Two's night out drinking in No Tomorrow and favourite A/N joke is, in Until Dawn Breaks, when I cracked jokes about Ao and Shisui's dynamic (imagining Shisui fleeing Kiri with the Scooby Doo chase music over the top lmao) but it's a very close competition with everything Akira has ever said lol

(I forgot the oneshot Coffee Shop AU where Genma is very cringe when hitting on Shisui and Kakashi... This one probably wins for the joke lines)

🍐(the entire mess of Narutoverse canon and timelines?) well, I'm a repeat offender for saving Shisui's life but, more broadly, I love to actually break down a particular character's motivations, actions and abilities and think 'okay but how would these events REALLY play out now?' and then fuck around and find out 😂

🍈 OKAY toot toot Shisui-centric alert! Blorbo rant incoming~

Shisui is just.... Amazing. If you have a short list of the shared characteristics of Amazing Characters, someone being genuinely loyal, having integrity, and keeping hope is just.... Yes. Double points for being a sweetheart with horrible trauma and angsty obligations to both system and clan!

Shisui has, frankly, the worst Mangekyou ability because it's also the strongest and the scariest (at least with Itachi you know you're being tortured, Kotoamatsukami has very scary ramifications for reality and free will). Don't come for me with a list of the others (Shisui never actually uses Kotoamatsukami in canon and yet he's at THAT level with his genjutsu and speed? Kamui, Izanagi, etc etc, are OP and versatile but Kotoamatsukami is literally unstoppable and unbreakable and untraceable and if Kishi didn't make that stupid, nonsense rule about 'ten years' and didn't kill off Shisui when he realised just how insanely OP he'd made Kotoamatsukami, then Shisui would literally be the top Uchiha EVER) because I can whip out a thesis defence of how terrifying Kotoamatsukami is (ten years after one use is BULLSHIT and we're ignoring it) and how I literally would never trust any other character than Shisui with that ability (including Itachi, because he's proven an alarming propensity for following orders without thinking ANYTHING through - why the fuck are you trusting Danzo, who stole Shisui's eye and made him jump???? UMMM).

Uchiha are known for their eyes, if an Uchiha is powerful it's because of their eyes. Look at Itachi, his torturing genjutsu is like the Boogeyman of Narutoverse for so long, Madara and Izuna's eye angst defines them, they all play tug of war over Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyou, Sasuke uses ninjutsu and kenjutsu only to whip his eyes out and cut the fight off at the knees, Obito literally uses Kamui as often as possible, even Kakashi is known for his borrowed Sharingan rather than Hatake or personal abilities.

...but not Shisui.

Oh, Shisui has a genuinely ridiculously powerful Sharingan but he NEVER uses THE technique. He uses regular genjutsu to scare the shit out of everyone, even sending Ao and Kiri Hunter-nin fleeing without even physically engaging with him; just the sight of Shisui watching them and a touch of his chakra is enough for Ao (THE Hunter-nin's top dog from THE Bloody Mist) to break a sweat and abandoned the mission.

Shisui is known for the Shunshin, something so basic and easy that every Genin and ninken can do it. Its like meeting someone so good at skipping rope that they can do gymnastics feats and then strangle their enemies without breaking rhythm. That takes not just natural talent but an insane level of dedication and practice. Other Shinobi use the Shunshin casually but for Shisui to be so good that THAT is his namesake and not his genjutsu... Can we just think about that for a second?

Also the fact that Shisui is prodigious enough (not even getting into my AU timeline of graduation and family relations etc) to be a role model and tutor for Itachi and, by general fandom consensus, died when he was 14-16. That means Shisui was ANBU possibly before he was 14, since he was a team leader and arguably then a Captain. This means Shisui must've been even younger when he reached Jounin, younger again when he was Chuunin, graduated possibly as early as Kakashi and Itachi did... And it's just never talked about??? Canon and fanon are OBSESSED with complicated OP characters; to draw the comparison again, Kakashi is known for his borrowed Sharingan and his Thousand Jutsu whilst Itachi is the Genius of the Uchiha with nightmare flame eyes and the ability to slaughter his entire Clan without interruption or injury (numbers possibly between several hundred and several thousand).... But Shisui is faster than Itachi and Kakashi, he's just as smart, he's more sociable and hopeful than either of them- and it genuinely flabbergasts me that he's not more hyped for it. Shisui was killed off by Kishi because he knew he Done Fucked Up with making such an amazing character and inserting him into pre-canon drama without accounting for how insane his influence and legacy would've been.

Shisui is so slept on it HURTS

Quickly scrolling back up to the ask because I've forgotten what the original question was my own headcanons for Shisui

- graduated at 6 (Kakashi is at 4, Itachi at 5) and activated his Sharingan when his parents died shortly afterwards

- Mangekyou at 8 when he was fast enough to save himself but not his Genin team

- Inoichi takes Shisui on as an apprentice. Inoichi doesn't have time for a genin team but there's an eight year old with the most psychologically and ethically fucked up Dojutsu shivering in a hospital bed and Konoha cannot afford for him to go rogue or burn out before they can benefit from him. Cue fatherhood.

- Shisui has extremely good chakra control. His genjutsu, not even Kotoamatsukami, is so powerful and yet finely woven than even Ao's stolen Byakugan couldn't see it coming OR face it directly. Shunshin seems to be using chakra to augment movement and increase speed (furiously side eyes Tsunade's strength) so Shisui's ability to be so fucking fast (he's the fastest ever Shinobi to me, Tobirama and Minato don't count because they 'jump' with seals whereas Shisui is Actually Running) that doesn't rip his limbs off or fuck him up internally must mean that his chakra use is just... Perfect. Watch me want to write a Healer!Shisui fic omfg

- he's Kagami's grandson, Mikoto's nephew

- summoning chakra has life altering effects on human chakra (Inuzuka ninken across generations as exhibit A) so Shisui and Itachi have some very subtle (and more obvious) bird instincts (including that amazing ability to retrace their steps without checking the stars, maps, a compass, or knowing the exact directions)

- Kagami was ambassador to Uzushio. I love this one because it lays a great foundation for Mikoto and Kushina's friendship and it also adds depth to Shisui's Feelings about Konoha and loyalty

- Shisui is in an ANBU Squad (usually Squad Two) with Kakashi, Genma, Raidou, and Tenzo... Why? Because I love them, your Honour. Also it's a great range of abilities, personalities and they all have different reasons to be feral loyal to each other and Konoha

- Shisui is amazing with kids. He is simultaneously the meme of carrying the kid by their leg (Sasuke) and cuddling them in a blanket (Itachi). Look at how amazing he was with Shy Baby Itachi? Shisui is the very very sensitive and gentle and warming ambivert friend who adopts every single introvert he meets (Tenzo, Itachi, Kakashi) and is in turn adopted by extroverts (Genma, Ino, Gai)

- his ANBU alias is Monkey. I picked this animal because I didn't want anything too obscure or obvious (Crow, Raven, Cat, etc) and then I liked the idea that he can wiggle out of everything, it's a little bit wise and a little bit humourous and a little bit Uncanny Valley. Now, I can't not make Shisui into ANBU Monkey 😅

- He's too good for this world. Wait that's not a headcanon that's just fact 🤭

Thanks for playing, this was really fun!!

For the Shipping & Fandom Ask:

7. What are your top five ships of all time?

16. What gif or screenshot most sums up your ship?

29. What’s your favorite fanfic AU scenario or setting?

7. I couldn't choose out of all media, so I'll pick a specific media. My top five ships of all time in the standard opera repertoire.

Figaro and Susanna (The Marriage of Figaro): Everyone's favorite comic opera couple. Two smart, witty, lively, funny people with different, complimentary forms of cleverness, Figaro's scheming and Susanna's presence of mind. They're utterly devoted to each other, and they work together to outwit the lustful Count and secure their wedding. They have their issues with jealousy and misunderstandings – and by modern standards, Figaro's Act IV misogyny aria and Susanna's violent streak aren't so funny – but they resolve them in the end with an ease that shows the strong foundation of their love.

Rodolfo and Mimí (La Bohéme): *sigh* It's very flawed. I've wanted to punch Rodolfo many times for the way he emotionally hurts Mimí in the months leading to their breakup, and their meeting scene in Act I has some consent issues. But something about them keeps drawing me back to them. It's clear that their love is true and mutual, and they share so much tenderness, warmth, poetry, and beautiful music, capped off with an achingly beautiful tragic ending. And they're both so easy to identify with; sometimes too much.

Tosca and Cavaradossi (Tosca): Another relationship that has its flaws, conflicts, and jealousy issues, but this one has a sense of dedication and stability through it all that others often lack. This is probably helped by the fact that they seem slightly older than other operatic lovers. (Realistically, I suppose they're probably in their 20s, but they always come across as more in their 30s to me.) Yet regardless of age, they still have plenty of passion, sensuality, tenderness, and romantic Puccini music to sing.

Norina and Ernesto (Don Pasquale): A sweet young pair of comic opera innamorati. Romantic Ernesto has more heart than brains, but cunning, playful Norina has enough brains for both of them, and despite their different personalities they mesh well together. I especially like the way they each emphasize how much they want the other to be happy. And when he sees her apparently about to marry his uncle, he doesn't act like a typical tenor and fly into a jealous rage, but just has a moment of shock and disbelief, but then is quickly made to see that it's a trick. For that alone he wins points!

Tamino and Pamina (The Magic Flute): A classic fairy tale pairing: two innocents who fall in Love at First Sight and prove willing to brave fire, floods, darkness, and death to be together. Their interactions are few, but Mozart's music makes their love truly felt. It's unfortunate that in Act II, Tamino figuratively pushes Pamina aside for the sake of Sarastro's trials, but at least on some level he does it for Pamina, to prove he's worthy of her hand. And in the climactic scene, not only do they finally unite as they should, but Pamina is the one who guides Tamino through the deadliest trials.

It wasn't easy to decide on these five ships. They all have their problematic aspects, but most of the other operatic couples I could think of are either much worse or much more boring! It's amazing how dysfunctional most of the romances in the standard opera repertoire really are!

16. I'll share a photo for each of the ships listed above, in order.

29. Call it problematic, but I like gender-bending. I like examining how the characters' social roles would be different in their specific time periods and places if they were gender-bent, and how this might alter the story. (Social roles, not personalities – I don't assume their personalities would be very different because I don't do gender essentialism.) And I like breaking gender stereotypes, which is typically the result.

My unpublished novel An Eternal Crown is a gender-bent retelling of The Magic Flute. I've loved reimagining Tamino and Pamina as Sarisa and Zeran, respectively, and fleshing out their love story from this new starting point.

Misunderstanding. (A random prompt/scenario)

Before we get started, english is my SECOND language, I'm bad at creative descriptions, punctuations may be wrong, AND I made this in the middle of the night so it may not make sense or it's not rational. But it would be nice to give me you guys' opinions for me to improve and learn :)

F4M - Female (mc) for male (ml)

(MC) - Main character name

(ML) - Male lead/love interest name

Alright, LET'S GOOO

☆☆☆

"You would go to such lengths?"

I choke out the words with difficulty. My head hurts from crying. I don't think I can look at him the same anymore. Those sweet words he whispered when we were wrapped around each other's arms... were they just mere lies?

"What are you talking about?!" He asks furiously, slamming down his fist on the table. He doesn't seem to care about his surroundings at the moment. We're in our dining room, some of the servants standing by the corner to wait for any orders we- or simply he -give them.

I look at the servants and feel bad for them having to witness all this. I look at Mary, my most trusted servant and friend, gesturing for her to take the others out the room. She mutters something to the servants and thankfully, they left the dining room in a rush.

I show him a note that he gave to one of the maids. It wrote; "Please see me in the bedchamber tonight"

His handwriting disgusts me now. I heard from the maids that he was secretly calling in a maid to occupy our bed whenever I'm out to participate and help in the orphanage I give donations to. At first I did not believe it, until I saw the note inside our bedside drawer hidden in his jewelry box.

"Oh, (ML)! Explain this absurd note!"

His muscles tense at my loud accusation. He's looking at the doorway of the dining room then at me back and forth like he's thinking of a way to get out of this conversation. But he can't. He shouldn't. He has to face the consequences.

Once again, he doesn't answer. I speak again, my voice breaking, "You hate me that much? Then why? Why would you agree to marry me just because my parents said so? Why didn't you just run off with that woman you love ever so much?!"

The silence is suffocating and I feel ridiculous for being the only one who is talking in a room with the two of us. And it makes me sound like I'm in the wrong here.

"I don't..." He finally found his voice to speak. "I don't hate you..." He mutters as he let go of his spoon. He's looking down at his food, trying not to look me in the eye.

This makes me even more furious. He's always so hard to read that it irritates me. "Then tell me! Explain to me whatever it is on your mind! For God's sake, (ML)... Is it that hard?!" I shake my head in disbelief.

"I can't give you a child you want, (MC)." He says it so bluntly but he's still avoiding my gaze.

At that moment, my heart sinks in his words. I sit still, looking at him in shock. "What do you mean?"

"I cannot make a child with you. There's this... thing that's something wrong with me ever since I was born." He confessed, he looks so upset. He sighs before continuing, "I've been asking Sara, the maid, for help if there was any way I could do so. She said she used to be a doctor and I asked for her help."

I swallow a lump in my throat. I can't believe what I'm hearing. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying I'm sorry, I can't make a child with you. But please, know that I would never hate you. I simply didn't marry you just for the sake of your parents. I love you, I really do. When I first laid eyes on you, my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. It made me want to marry you right there and then."

I remember. We first met when my parents introduced me to him. He looked nervous before but I've seen his change of character. I wasn't interested at first but the more we got to know each other, the more I felt secure in his presence.

He stands up from his seat across the table and walks over to mine. He gets on his knees and takes my hands from my lap. He looks up at me as he continues his words, "I'm sorry if you got the wrong idea of the note, my love. I would never cheat on you. If you want, you could supervise me on everything." He's trying to tease me but at the same time, he's trying to reassure me. "It's alright if you want a man who can actually give you a chi-"

My breath hitches at the sight of his eyes welling up with tears. He gets cut off by me immediately sliding off my seat and I get on my knees too. I wrap my arms on his head and pressing his face on my chest. I stroke his head and kiss it. "I would never leave you because of such thing. You do know adopting is still an option, right?" I suggest.

He looks up at me from my chest and says, "I didn't think you'll...-"

"(ML)! What do you take me for?" I smack his head lightly and chuckle it off. "Pish posh, finish your food."

He chuckles too before giving me a peck on the lips and he smiles softly at me. "I love you so much that the stars can't even align how much."

[apologies-from-jerome-valeska]

((An OOC Message From the Owner of this Blog)):

Heyyy… so, this is Angel, the owner of this side blog and the “voice” behind Jerome.

…I think there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding lately about what this blog is?

I’m not a fictive. I’m not a kinnie. I’m not a reality shifter. I’m just… a person who made a sideblog two years ago to make a lot of shitposts. And it makes me kind of uncomfortable when people tag my posts as “reality shifting”, or ship themselves with this blog specifically.

I was fine with it for a while, but lately, I’ve just been getting kind of an icky feeling. There are minors who interact with this blog, and I’ve been getting a lot of… uh… strange asks, or being tagged in some… kinda f*cked-up stuff, that I don’t want to post for the sake of my own comfort.

What I’m trying to say is… I get it. Jerome Valeska is really hot.

But please don’t tag me in your “Jerome thirst posts” anymore, or in your reality-shifting posts anymore. I’m getting really uncomfortable with it, because I never wanted to give the impression that my blog is real. (The initial point of this blog was me making fun of Logan Paul’s terrible YouTube apology video.)

I’m just a roleplayer having fun with some online friends. I don’t act like Jerome IRL, which I didn’t think would be so bad… except for the fact that I’ve had people express disappointment when I don’t actually act or talk like Jerome, or when I introduce myself as “Angel” (which isn’t even my real name to begin with).

(I had one person ask to roleplay, we started talking, and then they immediately launched into an entire love confession to Jerome that took up the entire screen, and I had… frankly no idea how to reply to it, in-character or ooc… It was even worse considering I had an IRL boyfriend at the time, and such an intimate, intense, romantic roleplay concept felt way too sincere to my anxious brain.)

I’m. not. Jerome. I’m just a college student who started a Logan Paul-parody blog that ended up spiraling way too out of control, accidentally gained an impression for being annoying as hell, and attracted a large audience I was NOT ready to handle.

So… yeah. By all means, continue to send asks and tag me in posts! I love that! Don’t feel discouraged sending things like that!

But next time… please keep it PG-13 when you tag me in stuff, or send me asks. The majority of people in this roleplay fandom… are teenagers. I’m not, but most of the other Gotham roleplay mutuals I’ve made are, and I don’t feel comfortable posting or reblogging thirst asks where they can see it.

Please remember: I’m not your boyfriend, I’m not a character AI, I’m not a virtual dating sim. I have a life beyond this blog, and I don’t want people to think of it any other way than me trying to have a fun time.

I’m just… Angel. Please don’t get disappointed when I need to break character for my own sake, or don’t get too deep into a scenario. I’m not trying to be anything more than someone having fun.

Okay, so… uh… I’m glad I wrote that all out. I love interacting with you all, but please respect my boundaries from here on out, please don’t mistake me for actually being Jerome, and please… forgive my terrible puns. (Because I have at least dozens of them.)

Sincerely,

–Angel

“Either way, he didn't misunderstand the assignment. He did what was asked of him and has said all the right things. What he didn't do was consider how he felt about it.”

This sums it up perfectly. Buck knows what he’s doing. He does how much they want this how important it is to them. He is aware that he won’t be the father. But he hasn’t truly taken the take to reflect how it will make him feel.

At this point in the arc I think either a. It’s not his and then it’ll turn into but he wanted it to be and what does that mean or b. It is his they forget but the baby/kid comes back in the future if needed (aka writers have no new ideas and the show has many more seasons)

I do wonder if what’s happening with Denny and henren right now will be related back to Buck but I’m not sure.

Your two scenarios are literally the only ways this can go, and I will continue adding my personal caveat re: *if* it's Buck's baby because a successful donation at the end of an episode called Cursed (when the general consensus was that Buck would realize this wasn't what he was meant to do and decline before things got serious) has me like 👀 If there is a baby though, I pray people don't start listening to the folks who say this storyline is "realistic" and Buck could absolutely move on without looking back because sperm donors do it everyday. THIS IS TELEVISION. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE A MAIN CHARACTER A BABY (even if he's not the one raising them) FOR IT TO NEVER BE MENTIONED AGAIN AS LONG AS THERE'S STILL TIME. You know what's reaaaaaally annoying about this storyline? That it has to get dragged out into/through 6B just like BT because Buck is the only character left without a family of his own. For reasons. Bathena's storylines are bumps in the road (because that's what happens in every marriage) or something related to their kids that only needs a few episodes to explore. Hen's biggest storylines will always connect to her marriage/her home life. Maddie has her work. But she also has Chimney and Jee. Chimney's scenes have to do with Maddie and Jee. Eddie has Chris to think about/take care of. The show gives us that relationship, but ends things nicely by the end of the hour. Buck, though???? How do you give a guy with no biological/adopted children or a life partner fresh, new storylines throughout an 18 episode season? Ya don't. You pick one thing to focus on, stretch that out for as long as possible (even though it means taking breaks for weeks at a time), and then maybe also put him in someone else's storyline so it looks like the show is doing something different.

[liverobinreaction]

i love how in your latest story Jason, Batfam and Tim are in completely different genrees, cause Jason is in like poetic tragedy where character sought out to do something only to have a 'look in the mirror' scenario where an unexpected situation really breaks what was the true here mean, Batfam is just dealing with a heavy loss with the son they lost coming back only to lose another son instead as if it is some sick equivalent exchange with how Tim only came to them when Jason died and now Jason is back Tim is gone and with his own two hands and for all the skill of a family of detectives they truly didnt see something this serious coming until it was too late, and than Tim who just woke up from a nice nap is like "hmmm it appears my ill-thought actions have rather devastating consequences" just crack treated seriously love it

YESSSSS THANK YOU I love writing a disconnect between perceived genres a la unreliable narrator, because it just adds such layers to the misunderstandings. @cassiopeia721 (who wrote the incredible 'echoes in the garden' AU where Jason can see ghosts) put it best in the tags: they think they're in an action-movie revenge plot, but little do they know they've been genre-swapped into a horror movie.

(Speaking of, if you enjoy any of my fics, then please, PLEASE go read hers. Seriously, 'calumma' has gripped me by the throat and is shaking me like a wet dog.)

Anyway, thank you for the ask, I always love seeing how people go nuts for my silly little writings aksfjsdf. And yeah, it very much is a twisted mirror of familiarity in terms of the death, resurrection, and revival of Jason and Tim. There is SO much going on, and they've barely had time to process it.

Total Drama Presents 'Tis The Season

What is it —

A Christmas horror special based off or spun-off from the Total Drama series with the characters of Sky and Amy as the leads.

PREMISE:

Set months after both Pahkitew Island and The Ridonculous Race on Christmas Eve at one of the largest malls in the Toronto area, we follow Sky having to do last minute Christmas shopping with her mother as she's now trying to move on with her life after Total Drama and having made herself look like one of the worst people ever and then realizes that her mom is going all out this year in an attempt to help her daughter after her humiliations on that show which many still see as a scripted reality show.

It's there that she ends up running into or encountering a fellow contestant from Pahkitew Island who too has been dealing with her own problems after Pahkitew as well - Amy.

We learn that she's now living with her strict but genuinely caring aunt since things between her and Samey have gotten so bad that they had to send Amy away for their own good.

Accusing Sky of spying on her due to a poor misunderstanding, the two of them get into a fight after Amy immediately steals something valuable to Sky and in doing so, the two of them end up knocked unconscious and locked in a janitors closet.

Waking up hours later and breaking out of the closet, Sky and Amy find to their shock that it's night and the entire mall has been shut down with no one on watch. Seeing the advantage they have, Amy decides to have some fun and have free reign of the mall all to herself on her least favorite holiday ever and not even Sky can stop her. Attempting to, Sky ends up coursed and joins Amy in the fun.... until the two go on a boatride together sarcastically and after a Tunnel Of Love music video between them, the two kiss shockingly to their horror.

Completely taken aback and feeling humiliated again, Sky walks off and finds herself in a gorgeous headless mannequin store lined with top of the line jewelry and in a quick fit of rage especially realizing she hasn't gotten anything for her sweet mother, Sky steals the biggest piece of diamonds jewelry there is on the largest mannequin.

This is what ends up turning this already fantastical scenario into a full-blown Christmas nightmare as now Sky and Amy have to use all of their wits, abilities and skills to overcome the impossible - the mannequins coming to life and hunting the two down, only for the two of them to discover that it's not the stolen jewelry Sky has that they want.... it's in fact them that they want!

Notes/Trivia/Details:

• First things first, in terms of 'Tis The Season's horror and comedy - the horror aspects will actually be treated seriously and be actual horror, we won't make a dumb joke or a farce out of any of the headless mannequins, instead they'll be treated seriously and be the same type of dark, intense and disturbing visceral horror of R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series. As for the comedy, there won't be any gross-out humor or cartoon gags since this isn't the Total Drama reality show - it's instead the real world to this universe where everything's more grounded. Think of it like the Audition Tapes for the first season as the tone and feel, just around Christmas, that's all.

• Second of all, not only will the voice actresses Sarah Podemski and Bryn McAuley reprise their roles as Sky and Amy obviously but it will flesh out their characters more with both Sky and Amy's flaws actually being called out by each other and we learn that Sky is a misguided, arrogant and hard-headed wannabe athlete that is too ambitious for her own good but she now wants to be a better person after what happened with Dave and still feels guilt over what she did to him while Amy is a ferociously jealous girl whose half of her life has been overshadowed by her sister Samey as she was favored more by her well-meaning parents and was liked by everyone else whereas she had a temper and was a bully to everyone, a manipulative one at that but deep down realizes she has immense guilt over her treatment of Samey.

• It also does a little expansion on the Total Drama universe, showing us the public view and side to it. It's revealed here that a vast majority of everyone thinks that TD is in fact a reality scripted series and that none of the crazy shit on it actually happens. It also shows us that two other related shows - 6teen and Stoked - AREN'T in fact in the same universe as Total Drama and instead are shows that exist WITHIN the Total Drama universe. Now what IS in the same universe as Total Drama is that on both Sky and Amy's phones, there will be a few easter eggs and references that heavily imply a retroactive shared universe with other media.

For example, when Sky is scrolling through her phone, she passes by an article on the whereabouts of the notorious 90s criminals Seth and Richie Gecko who've now been missing for years.

Another big thing is that it establishes a timeline and an alternate continuity....

It's shown in 'Tis The Season that TDI, TDA and TDWT all take place over the course of 2007 while TDROTI, TDAS, TDPI and TD:TRR all take place over the course of 2008 with this ending on December 24th and 25th of 2008.

Meanwhile, Chris is currently doing time in Federal Prison (again) with the network deciding against renewing a new season of Total Drama and a reboot, meaning that the recent two new reboot seasons are their own separate continuity set years after the original TDI where Wawanakwa Island never sank like it did at the end of All-Stars. This however is the original continuity.

• Now here's the big one without giving away a major spoiler and it's how the ending of 'Tis The Season will be:

It won't end very happily for Sky and Amy.

It basically ends on what I call a "horror anthology"-type of ending since most horror anthologies do this and the story here calls for it.

It's where there's always a moment of victory, a real genuine moment of victory where the characters either win or think that they've won where they I don't know - break the curse or solve the mystery or defeat the Sandman or whatever - in this case, beating the headless mannequins who turn out to be somewhat tragic figures but no spoilers on that....

Then there's an extra thing that immediately happens after that goes "Nope!".

So you, along with Sky and Amy, have a huge sense of "AAAAAAAH!" relief, "we did it".

Then something happens that goes "Uh-uh, no!".

However it makes sense for the story since while Sky and Amy did grow into way better people over the course of the special and are now an official lesbian couple, they still caused all of this through their actions. They made the wrong choices, they didn't do what they should've done and that of course led to repercussions so the unexpected bad ending is on them. They have no one to blame but themselves and themselves only.

SMUT ONESHOT BXB 001

My name is Sean Vincent the only son of a ruined noble.

(A/n. Not sure if that's the correct term but it basically means; a noble who isn't a noble anymore because they became broke or smth)

Because of my Father's gambling addiction we lost all our money & adding the fact that he was terminally ill he died a few days after his title as Count got taken away, my mother soon followed a few days after him & now I'm the only one left.

However I already knew this would happen, why?

Because this world…..

Is the world I created!!!

To keep it short this world was created by 14 year old me in my past life.

As a Fujoshi (a bl fangirl & yes mc was a girl in her past life) who had a wild imagination, I created this world by writing a story though it was more like writing down all of my dark fantasies.

The character who I am currently possessing is no more than a mere extra who had no relevance to the plot.

As for how the story goes I'd rather not say for it is far too cringe even though I was the one who wrote it.

But I can tell you this;

The two main characters are still about to be born.

Which means the cringe story I wrote hasn't started yet.

But….

As a certified Fujoshi shouldn't I at least get some fan service!?

And thus starts my pursuit to find bl like scenarios in this world I created!!

Was what I originally planned but what is this!!??

"So?? You want this d*ck right??"

I looked at the man who smiled teasingly as if the sight of me frightened from his length reminded him of an hamster.

"Why do you look so frightened??"

He said as his length got closer to my mouth.

As he looked down on me he smiled & said in a mocking tone.

"You were the one who wanted 'service' correct??"

Yeah! Fan service not this.

"Or perhaps you prefer being sucked?"

He said as he got on his knees & unbuttoned my pants.

"W-what are you doing??!!"

I said shocked at his sudden move.

"Trying to suck you off of course"

He said in a sarcastic tone.

"Though I must say it's quite rare to have a costumer request to suck them off instead of requesting to suck me off"

That's what your shocked about!??

"U-umm…. I think there's been a misunderstanding"

I awkwardly said as his mouth got closer & closer to my crotch

"What do you mean??"

"I only jokingly said I wanted Fan Service & I was drunk too, so please stop… I-i don't want to do this"

Please take the hint!

"Sorry no can do"

"Thank you very— huh??"

"I got hard 'cuz you were so cute so I can't do that"

He smiled condescendingly.

"H-huh?"

"Let's pick up where we left our shall we??"

"W-wai—ahh!"

So warm….

"Dosh if few gob?" (Does it feel good?)

"Ahh!!"

"Hmph"

He grinned as he slurped my crotch like it was candy.

"I must say you are quite small"

Huh?

"That's ok tho! Since I'll be putting it in!"

That doesn't make me feel any better!

"Ahhh!"

Is he?

LICKING MY BUTTH*LE??!!

I did say I wanted a bl experience but not this kind of bl experience!

"N-not there!!"

"You're too tight, guess this really is your 1st time"

It is!!! So stop!!

"Ahhhh!"

"Did you just cum from my finger alone?"

He asked astonished.

"S-stop it!"

He looked at me amused & then smiled.

"Ah~I can't wait anymore!!"

"What do you me—Ahhhh!"

It hurts!

So this is what it feels like to insert a d*ck up your ass.

"H-hurts…. T-take it ou—ahh!!"

He kept jamming his length in while I was a moaning mess while the bed we were in sounded like it was about to break.

I really shouldn't have drank with this guy.

(Flashback)

"Is this seat taken?"

"No, feel free to sit"

(End of Flashback)

"Ah~~You're so tight!"

I'm cumming….

"Ahh! Ahh! Aahhhhhhh~"

"Oh you came?"

"Ah! N-no more…"

"Sorry no can do!"

"Ahh!"

I have gotten myself involved with such a troublesome guy.

[maguro13-2]

*Stomach Gurgling*

Ringo : Oh boy! I'm really hungry. All this walking is really making me getting us some eats.

Maguro : I know something to have for lunch. Good thing we're on lunch break!

Ringo : Good eye! Let's go check into that restaurant!

(scene flips)

Ringo : You know I'm glad that this date is becoming surreal this time. It's a funny solution you might ask.

Maguro : Well, that's the reason that I known about you back in 15th anniversary in Japan or in America. Don't tell Sonic Team about this, or we'll end up making ourselves a quite appetite. So what you're thinking on tonight, babe?

Ringo : Just the usual. It's not like that I'm having any male personality, while you have a female personality. Remember the time that I opened your shirt by accident and we got caught, yeah. We should do this more often then having human sex in the you know what I mean. Although despite this at a young age, we are definitely too young to have sex, but we did learn anything about it in Sex class.

Maguro : I'm not sure if we agree on anything to do with ourselves, but it's good that we are on a tight busy schedule. So...There's no one around, just the two of us. alone. all together.

Ringo : So...Shall we begin this like always? It'll be just as a sweet of pie.

Maguro : I absolutely agree on all the terms that I have this moment to be perfected, so I guaranteed that you know that I have been maxing out on our company's allowance. So...If we agree that we don't have our problems then we'll have something in common for all of us. Well...

Ringo : Kiss me on the mouth, why don't ya? I wanna see how good that you are very taste and sweet.

Maguro : Oh, you think so!? You really want to kiss me, girl!? Let me get this opportunity done for ya! I am going to be the one that will make the heck out of you!

Ringo : Oh, Maguro! Give me some love, honey!

Amitie : Bingo!

Ringo : Hey, what the--!?

*CAMERA FLASH!*

Amitie : Hahaha! I gotcha ya! I caught you two making out while you two were alone to do some of that sweet sweet Puyo Puyo whats it call it in the world of Puyo Puyo!

Ringo : I know what is it, Amitie. And I felt embarassed in front of Maguro. It's called "Sex", Amitie.

Amitie : Yeah, I know right! That's-What? What is that?

Ringo : Well, at least you know nothing about it! I don't feel embarrassed how I feel and you do know that it's complicated settlement the actions and discussions about our problems to you know. Let's face it, we Sega characters don't know what Sex is and I heard Yakuzas even barely knows what sex is about, it's like making motions to sweet sweet love that is, and SEGA gotta get some romance or something. You know like pink and blue.

Amitie : That's Sonic and Amy. I know, right?

Ringo : Yeah, you're right. I feel too embarassed.

*scenario ends*

Ringo : And that's why I was having a more Boyfriend complex, while Maguro has a Girlfriend complex. Totally understanding the mix up between the female hero and the boy sidekick wonder. I always come up with a plan if it's like Maka and Soul, yeah, that would totally work! It's Soma thing! Or probably a Souma thing right now. What do you say about girls having a boyfriend complex while some boys a have a girlfriend complex?

Arle : Umm, I think that's literally out of context. You see is, what does sex is and what does boyfriend and girlfriends that goes mix up in different places, I don't think that you should be getting this from Sex education through all of this week. (sighs) I couldn't agreee with you more. So much for all of us, in the amazing world of Puyo.

Amitie : Talk about a misunderstanding.

*Phone vibrating*

Amitie : Hey, not to mention to spoil the talk. I suggested that's someone on the phone.

Arle : It's your boyfriend or girlfriend, whatever it is?

Ringo : (blushes red) W-WHAT!? He's not my boyfriend! It's my lover! I have someone on the phone to talk privately! I have no suggestion on you judging me on the phone!

Amitie : Nobody's judging you, Ringo. Just talk to anyone, it'll make you confess.

Arle : You have a deep feeling for anybody.

Ringo : Well, if you insist, I agree that I can do this bravely. (phone beeps) Hey, babe. How are you doing?

Maguro : (on the phone) Oh, Ringo?

Ringo : Yeah, I'm on the phone, talking you. So any problems with people barging on our relationship, sweetie?

Maguro : (on the phone) No, not at all. I see that you're in top shape. No need to get all cranky on that one.

Ringo : Yeah, yeah, me and the girls are having a great time together, so it's best that I'm on way meeting you at the right time. I hope you'll stay safe from all of that danger. Okay, my dear?

Maguro : (on the phone) Okay then. Gottta go, I'll get there to see you. Love ya

Ringo : Love ya too, sweet cheeks. (phone beeps, sighs) That was amazing. You see what I did there, yeah, I have a Boyfriend complex while Maguro has a girlfriend complex. Yeah, I'm a weird person, but it's all right. Cause I'm the coolest.

Arle : Well, definitely. That's the Ringo that is all in her world, cooler, smarter, and talks like someone is a girlfriend material. Guess that Maguro person was making her the crush of her dreams.

Amitie : I agree that this would be all a misunderstatement, but it's okay. That's Ringo for ya. I think that we're getting along together.

Arle : True that.

Amitie : I wonder what's next for her character to be.

"later..."

[Freek N You by Jodeci]

Ringo : So, where we're we? (pulls down shirt)

Maguro : (with his shirt opened) Are you sure this is going to work out for us?

Ringo : Trust me, baby. I know it will. You truly are an amazing person, aren't you? Why don't you make me mine, forever? I will make you the glory to your trust.

*DOOR OPENING*

Amitie : Hey, guys! One republic came to Japan today and they're releasing a new song called "Nobody" that is used for the Kaiju anime song! Holy Mean Beans! Ringo, Maguro! I didn't mean to opened the door.

Ringo : Knock first, Amitie! Can't anyone teach you some manners!?

Amitie : Right. Enjoy your free time. *closes door*

[Freek N You resumes]

Ringo : Okay. [To Maguro] Back to our nightly hours, I'm gonna spend my night eternal night blessed by your own kind.

Maguro : Absolutely.

Ringo & Maguro : (kissing and moaning)

Ringo : Oh, you're such a naughty boy, Maguro.

(pans to Amitie hearing from the door)

Amitie : Ohhh? So that's how they wanna play, eh? I'm getting all of this kind of entertainment to prove something useful.

Arle : Please, end me.

"later..."

Arle : Where were you last night?

Ringo : Sorry, I was in a bit of a pickle with Maguro last night. We had a great time and it was our first run. So yeah! I felt lucky of being a puyo puyo sensation on the contrary. I'm all ears with Maguro, now.

Amitie : Quite. Not sure if that I heard some kind of entertainment, I hear that you literally knocked up Maguro like that, in some kind of way.

Ringo : Yep. (stretches) I never been felt better than to make one mistake or not, it's only a fare share that I'm on a busy schedule going head to head on puzzle battles that makes puzzles, boring and fun at the same time, but don't forget I always get what I wanted, cause I'm a certain type of what I get started!

"Mean Bean Machine SFX : Yee-haw!"

Arle : Wow! Congratulations, Ringo! Looks like you're becoming a women of your own world! Now that you've got yourself tied in a knot, how did you knocked Maguro like that all night and how did he made you felt better to be this?

Amitie : Yeah, what's the orientation of you between Maguro and you?

Ringo :That's easy, guys! I got myself pregnant with Maguro's child.

Arle : Eh...?

Amitie : Eh...?

*DBZ SFX : SURPRISE!*

All : SAY WHAAAAAAAT!?!

(Everyone except for Sig is shocked)

Klug : [dumbstruck] Abra. *SHATTER!*

Sig : Tch. Whatevs'.

Amitie : D...D-D-Did you say you're pregnant...

Arle : With someone's child?....[outbursts] We're you not even wearing protection while we told you about this at Sex class!? What were you thinking about getting knocked up like that!? Did anyone taught you that in Sex Class as well!? We're supposed to even think about doing that and you forget that you needed protection!?

Amitie : Did you even think about making out before even do that!? Now we understand what sex is? It's about making love!?!

Arle : Unbelievable!

Ringo : Yep! Cause that's why I, Ringo of the world of Puyo Puyo, is now a mother to the world's greatest Puyo Puyo champion of all! And I am certainly "Boyfriend complex"! (laughs triumphantly) So what did you think, guys?...Guys?

*DBZ SFX : Collapse+Boing*

Ringo : Guess I spoke too soon about that, isn't it?

Maguro : So. Now that we got on the wrong foot. So can we just get along.

Ringo : Allow me to do this for you. (carries Maguro behind) Hang on tight, big boy. Cause I'm gonna take you for a ride. (walks off)

Arle & Amitie : ARE YOU FRIGGIN' SERIOUS!?!

Sig : Don't judge a book by it's cover. Guess that's what love feels when it comes to the world of Puyo Puyo doesn't know anything about the life and bonds between the human sexes. Despite the world of Puyo Puyo a weird place, this is quite an opportunity to think Sega would get away with Mature stuff going on and believe it or not, we all needed to learn some how.

Amitie : Sig, you're right. I guess it is what love feels.

Arle : Also, I'm still single and I even had dump Satan for his kind, can I at least get back to whatever I am doing, right now?

Carbuncle : [with a male voice] You know that you should really consider getting yourself some therapy. But I still dig it that two of them has found love on the battlefield.

Arle : Ice storm!

*Smash Melee SFX : Ice*

Satan : You know seriously! I'm getting a little frigging teed off, right now!

[thorfemmes]

I knocking again with request! It just popped in my head as iron clothes 🤣 if its ok. Eddie with his S/O and the hellfire boys. They didnt know eddie had a lover at school and they overheard him being mean to them, alarmingly threatening and the boys are no way eddie is intimidating and scary looking but he isnt actually that.. maybe they had to intervene and its a misunderstanding and its revealed s/o is a theater kid ask for help running lines something like that? I read somewhere that they used a theater room for hellfire and with his reputation someone mustve backed him up or vouch for him to use the facilities right?😉 Sorry did that made sense? Its practically 1 am here 🤣 thanks! Its kinda hilarious to me that whole scenario.

I love you, thank you for all the requests! This one was right up my alley since one of my majors is in theatre. I hope you enjoy!<3

BTW the play used in this drabble is Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry. It's wild.

Eddie was a very theatrical person. Not just in his hyperactive gestures and storytelling abilities, but actually theatric. What the Hellfire boys thought was Eddie's free period was actually an advanced acting/play literacy class. He was secretly the teacher's favorite, how else would he have gotten permission to use the drama room and props for his DND campaigns?

Having climbed his way up through the intermediate and advanced classes, he got to know you pretty well. As excellent actor and a very outspoken and opinionated play lover, the two of you bonded quickly over your flair for the dramatic.

The boys didn't know about Eddie's theatre class, and in turn really didn't know about the close relationship the two of you cherished. So when they came across the two of you violently yelling at each other, they were concerned to say the least.

"Shit!" Eddie yelled.

"Oh it's fine, what a pig you are". You scoffed angrily at him.

The boys looked on in curiosity, but also worried as they'd never seen Eddie so angry at someone they didn't know.

"Watch out, I don't kill you, " Eddie continued.

"It isn’t me you ought to kill, it’s someone else".

"Now by my green candle, I don’t understand!"

The Hellfire boys watch you go back and forth with this utter violent gibberish.

"Now by my green candle, shit!" Eddie monologued. "Madam, certainly yes, I’m content. I could be content with less. After all, I’m Captain of Dragoons, Privy Councillor to King Wenceslas, Knight of the Red Eagle of Poland, and formerly King of Aragon. What more do you want?"

They continued to spy on you from around the corner until you spoke a worrisome line.

"What prevents you from slaughtering the whole family and putting yourself in their place?"

Gareth cut in at this point. "Woah, what the fuck is going on here? Is everything okay?"

Eddie visibly blanched knowing he'd been caught.

"Oh, hi! You must be one of Eddie's friends!" You said sweetly breaking character. You stuck your hand out. "I'm Y/N!"

"Gareth, this is Jeff, Dustin, and Mike," He introduced each boy down the line. "So what exactly is going on here?

You looked to Eddie for guidance, not knowing how he wanted to go about this.

"So my merry men, I've been hiding something from you. My free periods have actually been dedicated to an acting and play analysis class. Y/N here is my scene partner". You nudged him softly. "And my romantic partner. We were just rehearsing this absolute garbage play for our next assignment. Nothing violent is happening, promise".

"It's not garbage! It's absurdist and a precursor to Dadaism, which is one of your favorite movements in theatre history!'

"Daddyism?" Dustin spoke up confused.

"Dadaism, or Dada for short," You corrected him gently. "It's a movement that emphasized the process of collective trauma after World War I. It really tried to expand the boundaries on what theatre-".

Eddie just looked at you with what might as well have been hearts in eyes. The boys of course had no idea what you were talking about, but seeing Eddie's enamored stares was enough for them to keep their mouths shut.

"I think Eddie really likes it because at first glance it seems absurd and whimsical and just straight funny, but when you dive deeper into analysis you can really see the trauma buried within the subtext".

"Right you are, pretty girl". Eddie wrapped his arms around your shoulder. "Now, any other questions or can we get back to rehearsing?"

"We're definitely discussing this later, but we'll leave you to it. Have fun kids," Dustin said with a wave.

With the boys gone Eddie turned and quickly laid a few kisses to your face. Kiss, kiss, kiss until he landed on your lips.

"C’mon superstar, we've gotta keep rehearsing for next period".

[todoscript]

you receive a love letter in your shoe locker from an anonymous admirer

characters: bakugou katsuki, kaminari denki, kirishima eijirou, midoriya izuku, shinsou hitoshi, todoroki shouto

genre: fluff. very slight angst.

word count: 3.2k+ total, 400-700 per character

warnings: jealousy, possessiveness, feelings of doubt (mostly all fluff though)

author’s note: i’ve been on spring break so i found some time to write this! i absolutely love writing for these six (not like they’re my faves or anything pshhhhh—)

BAKUGOU KATSUKI

he’s already fuming the moment you open your locker and hold out the pastel pink card, sealed by a shiny heart sticker with your name written in smooth calligraphy.

it doesn’t take much for him to realize some other dunce head is trying to make moves on his girl.

and he absolutely won’t stand for it.

he stomps over to you and snatches the letter right out of your hands as you’re reading it.

your complaints go ignored behind him while he inspects the writing with the most livid expression.

you know that ugly face he makes when it comes to his over-exaggerated anger? the one with his eyes all squinted and the corners sharpened upward?

that’s his face as he continues reading, growing more twisted at every mushy sentence this anonymous admirer had the gall to say to you.

at one point, he can’t stand to read it anymore so he crumbles the letter in his fist before igniting it into crisps.

you scold him for causing such a scene and letting his anger get the best of him, but bakugou is still annoyed about it regardless.

“tch, who the hell does this shithead think they are, trying to make moves on you when we’re already together?! i’m gonna kill them when i find out who it is!” he exclaims, hands instinctively sparking with heat that scares off the other students walking by.

you mentally facepalm at this. still, you go about reassuring him that you won’t be swayed and take his hand to walk to the dorms together.

“katsu, you know it’s going to take more than a love letter to make me leave you, right?”

“heh, damn right, it’s gonna take a hell of a lot more that’s for fucking sure,” he sneers, a confident smirk on his face as he knows everyone else never had a chance with you to begin with. they can keep sending those letters and he’d make sure to burn them before they could even reach your hand.

on the way back to the dorms, he makes a conscious effort at pda—arm wrapped around your waist while his eyes glare daggers at any extra that even so much as looks at you the wrong way—asserting his claim over you.

meanwhile, having bared witness to that whole scene, your secret admirer is trembling in the corner. they make note to never send you another letter again unless they want their life to flash before their eyes in a fiery explosion.

KAMINARI DENKI

surprisingly enough, kaminari takes the whole situation more positively than most people expected.

in fact, he’s actually prideful about it.

just as he’s about to head over to your locker so you two could walk to class together, sero pokes his shoulder.

“hey, did you see all those written love confessions in y/n’s locker?” sero whispers behind his cupped hand near kaminari’s ear.

the blond scrunches his nose, confused. “no. what love confessions?”

“the letters that were stuffed in your girlfriend’s locker.”

again, kaminari is still puzzled at this. he realizes there’s only one way to understand what sero means.

when he glances in your direction he’s met with you fumbling around with a pile of letters balanced in your arms. his vision zeroes in on the envelopes, deciphering the fancy stationary and pretty embroidery.

oh. they’re love letters.

“other people are trying to make moves on your girl. what are you going to do about it, kaminari?” sero chimes in with an important question and honestly, kaminari can’t exactly make out a solution. or rather, he feels he doesn’t need to.

sure, he should be a little annoyed over the fact that others are disregarding your relationship.

yet could he really blame them for taking such a liking to you?

you’re pretty, smart, nice—the whole damn package.

he’d be more shocked if you didn’t have any secret admirers lurking around.

kaminari decides to leave his friend’s question relatively unanswered and continues his trek to your locker.

“hey, pretty girl! whatcha got there?”

taken off guard by his appearance, you nearly drop all the letters in your arms.

“denki, you scared me!” you exclaim. “these? they’re just some love letters some anonymous person placed in my locker. don’t worry though! i don’t plan on returning their feelings.”

smiling at how quickly you reassure him, he crosses his arms behind his head. “nah i’m not worried, babe. i don’t feel threatened or anything. it only makes sense that my girl is popular after all!”

you’re pleasantly surprised by how rationally he reacts to the scenario. though, knowing his character, he can’t just seem to leave it at that.

“yep, seems like we’re quite the popular couple!” he grabs your hand, wanting to show each other off as you make your way to class.

the bakusquad sees this as another opportunity to egg him on.

“and just how many love letters have you received since the beginning of the school year, kaminari?”

the blond freezes at the question. kaminari bites back words, but begrudgingly answers.

“...zero.”

KIRISHIMA EIJIROU

“heya, babe!” kirishima enthusiastically calls to you, approaching your shoe locker. “ready to go back to the dorms?”

“yeah! in just a second though!” you reply.

as kirishima comes closer, he sees you occupied with some envelopes in your hand.

“what’re all those?” he asks, pointing at the refined stationary curiously.

“ah some letters gifted to me from an anonymous admirer. something about wanting to make their feelings finally known, but i’m not interested in them,” you say, clearing up everything before a misunderstanding could arise.

“oh, that’s cool.”

you quirk a brow at how relatively chill he is at this revelation. you were expecting a bigger reaction at this, but kirishima just simply smiles his genuine, care-free smile.

you don’t think much of it though. shoving the letters in your bag to dispose of later, you walk side-by-side with him to the dormitories.

little do you realize that kirishima actually mistakens this as pure, platonic admiration rather than infatuation.

to him, if they had really wanted to profess their love to you, they’d do it in person where you could see and hear them. not behind fancy penmanship and some pretty paper.

after all, that’s what a true man would do!

but as the days continue to roll by, he’s starting to have second thoughts.

“y/n, i’m telling you, with the amount of letters you keep receiving from them, you gotta find out who this person is!” he overhears mina lecturing you at your desk, going through another pile of notes that were left in your locker from that morning. lately, you’ve been greeted by an astounding number of these things each time you visited your locker.

“mina, there’s definitely no need for me to go out of my way to find this person.”

“aw, but look at all the sweet things they said about you!” mina recites a line from one of many letters. she muses about how the writer sentimentally compares your aura to that of a dandelion wisp in the wind—free and lighthearted yet fleeting and out of reach.

“how romantic!”

you roll your eyes, indifferent, but one side-glance at kirishima from your desk tells you that he’s beginning to interpret the situation differently.

the redhead has to admit that all those things that anonymous admirer said to you were… pretty sweet.

kirishima has always been a man of action—an passionate believer that actions spoke volumes compared to words alone. however, after hearing all of that, he’s wondering how he’s able to compete in that aspect.

he seeks you out during lunch and asks you something beneath a lonely corner of trees.

“y/n, do those kinds of things make you happy..?”

you tilt your head, curious about what he’s exactly referring to. one glimpse back at his demeanor in the classroom earlier with mina gives you an idea.

“do you mean all those letters i keep getting?”

kirishima nods slowly.

“well… i have to admit, it is nice to know that i’m ‘liked’ by other people,” you phrase delicately. “but all those pretty letters and sweet words don’t mean anything to me if they aren’t coming from you. besides, i always thought it’s better to let your actions speak for you, don’t you think?”

hearing your answer, kirishima’s face lights up immediately. before you can properly react, a pair of lips meet your cheek.

you rub the warm skin where his lips touched, flustered for a moment. kirishima grabs your hand, walking you two back to the lunchroom with a newfound surge of conviction in his steps.

MIDORIYA IZUKU

“ooh, look midoriya, seems like someone else has a crush on your girl.”

as midoriya’s tidying up his red shoes and bringing out his slippers for class, his male classmates inform him of the pink envelope held in your hands.

midoriya looks over in your direction. he watches as you peel the letter out of the envelope and begin reading its contents.

he doesn’t miss the slight flustered look on your features, observing how you scan through the writing while tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, glancing over your shoulder as if your secret admirer was peering at you from behind.

“you better hold onto her tightly if you don’t want her stolen from you,” one of the boys warns, more so as a joke, but midoriya doesn’t take their banter lightly.

“knock it off, guys. just because someone else likes her doesn’t mean she’s going to leave me or anything,” he says this with as much confidence as he can muster, but his demeanor betrays him.

when he goes past your desk in the classroom later, he can’t seem to meet your eyes.

“good morning, izuku!” you greet him mirthfully. however, midoriya fails to return the greeting with the same enthusiasm.

“g-good morning, y/n…”

it’s hard for you not to notice that something is up by the way he heads straight to his desk afterward without another word.

throughout class, midoriya finds it a challenge to concentrate on anything but that letter you received that morning. his mind stumbles into the hole of bad possibilities—ones of you leaving him, those sweet words from your anonymous admirer making your heart flutter more than he ever has.

“—zuku… ‘zuku… izuku!”

he gets pulled out from his thoughts by your voice and turns to see the concerned look on your face.

“you okay? you haven’t touched your pork cutlet bowl this entire time.”

he stares down at his food, untouched since he sat down. “oh sorry, i guess something’s just been on my mind today.”

your brows knit together. “it’s about the letter i got today, isn’t it?”

midoriya stares at you, debating whether to deny your statement, but knows it’s pointless to try when it must have been obvious.

you take his silence as confirmation and grasp his hand that lays flat on the table.

“izuku, look at me,” you tell him and watch as his eyes slowly trail to you. “you know i wouldn’t leave you over some silly letter, right? no amount of words they can say to me could ever make me think differently about you.”

at this, a comforted smile spreads on midoriya’s face. he nods and squeezes your hand as a sign he took your words to heart before chowing down on his food, the uncertainty inside him disappearing.

SHINSOU HITOSHI

“another one?” you inquire to yourself in disbelief, opening your shoe locker to discover a rose-colored envelope waiting for you atop your slippers.

“dang, y/n, that’s like the fourth one this week!” uraraka comments, peeking over your shoulder.

“ooh! i wanna see what they wrote for you this time!” mina approaches from behind. you allow her to grab the delicate letter from your fingertips.

she over-exaggeratedly clears her throat, unwrinkling the paper by pinching at the sides. “‘you are the one who brought me sunshine when i only saw rain.’”

“aw! how sweet!” uraraka clasps her hands above her heart, seeming almost moved.

though the girls are all smitten by the love poem, you bite your tongue, hoping to suppress the urge to gag in front of them.

your boyfriend shinsou is on equal wavelength as you, witnessing the scene unfolding so early in the morning. he’s grown tired of replaying this spectacle for the past four days now.

his eyes navigate to the note and envelope in mina’s hand. by the script and the use of the same stationary, shinsou can tell the love letters you’ve been receiving are all from the same person.

“damn dude, you got some serious competition.” overhearing the girls, kaminari jabs at shinsou’s sides teasingly. “so, you gonna do anything about that mysterious guy trying to go after your girl?”

the violet-haired boy shrugs. “why should i? it’s not like i feel threatened.”

kaminari whistles at his confidence.

shinsou says he doesn’t care about it, putting on a level-headed and indifferent facade. but that was honestly far from the truth.

in actuality, he’s a bit pissed.

what kind of person goes around sending anonymous love messages to someone who’s already in a relationship? what the hell do they hope to gain out of doing this?

shinsou more than trusts you won’t be swayed by them, no matter how many times those notes discourteously greet you every morning.

you never bring up the topic of the letters whenever you two are alone, not wanting shinsou to be bothered over it and create a hassle. all in all, he’s grateful for this, and also for the fact that you make a point of never taking any of those letters seriously and dump them into the trash bin whenever the chance arises.

however, he can tell by your body language that the whole situation bothers you and makes you uneasy.

so, during one incredibly early morning, he decides to do some scouting.

he plays off his odd punctuality by saying he left something in the classroom yesterday and wants to get there early to look for it.

lo and behold, he finds a male student hovering around the lockers—suspiciously darting his head back and forth to be on the lookout for any other students.

little does he realize he’s already been caught red-handed.

“hey you.” shinsou abruptly calls out to him and the boy nearly jumps. “what are you doing here?”

the boy panics at his question, fumbling with his answer while hiding something behind his back—what shinsou presumes to be another one of those cheesy letters.

“u-um, just want to get to class early!” he sputters.

“is there any special reason you’re standing in front of my girlfriend’s locker then? ’cause last i checked, the lockers for general education students were located on the opposite side.” shinsou emphasizes his words with a bite of malice, arms crossed.

“i just lost my way is all–” the student suddenly stops mid-speech, his words and actions forcibly coming to a halt. all thoughts are overturned in the presence of shinsou’s quirk.

“i’m going to make this quick and easy for you to understand. not only are you going to forget about this conversation, but you’re also going to stop handing my girlfriend those love letters.” shinsou bends down to the boy’s height, staring at the abyss in his expression.

“and i’d also appreciate it if you kept your eyes off what’s mine.”

it’s safe to say, your influx of letters had been effectively cut off after that day.

TODOROKI SHOUTO

todoroki is no stranger to finding love letters from avid admirers and fans in his shoe locker before and after classes.

in fact, an unprecedented number of them had begun taking up all the space there after his impressive performance at the sports festival.

when he started dating you, however, he had made a clear declaration that he wouldn’t be accepting anymore of them.

but to be on the opposite end of having to watch you unlatch the door of your locker to have letters and notes practically tumbling out, todoroki wasn’t exactly sure what to make of this feeling that made his stomach twist into knots.

he notices the alarming amount of them and concludes they’re all from various students in different grades and departments.

“y/n, you’re getting pretty popular,” uraraka says, eyeing the stack of envelopes. “must be your dance performance from the culture festival! i remember you did get a lot of cheers in the crowd.”

“guess all those cheers came with a lot of fanboys, huh?” the invisible girl, hagakure, teases.

you jokingly nudge at them to stop with the teasing, but pause when your eyes cross todoroki’s. he’s giving you a look you can’t decipher—one that edges between troubled and apathetic yet you can’t tell which it is.

you send him a nod, silently acknowledging his presence as he waits for you to finish your business so you could head back to the dorms together.

watching you dispose of the various piles of letters has todoroki contemplating about what uraraka and hagakure commented on. about how popular you were getting and how your admirers have been bold enough to profess their reverence for you despite your relationship status.

todoroki’s not entirely sure what to make of this information. he doesn’t linger on it for long though when you finally approach him, your sneakers slipped on and your backpack securely hanging off your shoulders.

“ready to head home?”

a smile finds his lips at your appearance. he softly utters his response.

during the small distance to the dormitories, todoroki reaches for your hand and intertwines your fingers together. as seemingly minor the gesture is at this point of your relationship, it’s a detail you mentally take note of.

usually, when it came to publicly displaying physical forms of affection, you were the one to initiate it. you have to admit, seeing the assertive side of todoroki is like a small breath of fresh air.

as you continue your short journey home, a couple of male students walking by greet you enthusiastically. though you wave back to kindly acknowledge them, you feel the grip on your hand tighten, followed by a slight tug closer to todoroki’s side.

that alone is enough for you to realize something is definitely troubling him.

“sho, is there something wrong?” you ask, steps still walking in tandem with him.

todoroki’s voice doesn’t waver in the slightest as he replies, “no, why would you think that?”

“you’ve been awfully possessive all of a sudden,” you note, “is this because of those letters from earlier?”

“...maybe.”

you quirk a brow, amused. “is that a yes or a no?”

now todoroki is silent. your steps come to a halt. not parting your laced hands from his, you turn to look him in the eye.

“sho?”

“it’s just… when i realize that there are other people looking at you the same way i do, i get… uneasy.” his gaze drops to the ground as he confesses this, hand squeezing yours. the uncomfortable churning in his stomach settles a bit now that the words are out, but he finds it hard to ease the atmosphere.

this is where you picked up from where he left off. your hand goes to his cheek, gently cupping it so you can tilt his head up at you.

“oh shouto, you have to know that you’re the only one for me and i don’t plan on looking at anyone else but you,” you assure him. todoroki stares into your eyes, and in them, he can’t find any hesitance or flutter of doubt.

at this, he lifts your twined hands and grazes your knuckles ever so softly against his lips, wondering whatever troubled him so much to begin with.
