#seriously it’s like a zen activity for me

[mysteriousbean5]

I REALLY need to get better about posting here😞 But if you thought I was gone and moved on from Promptis, then I’m happy to report you would be wrong. Hopefully that’s a nice surprise😊

[fanzou]

To Be Vigilant

✗ Pairing: Zoro Roronoa x GN!Reader

✗ Genre: Fluff

✗ Total WC: 0.8K

“‘N…. I don’t know, he’s just so… handsome and masculine and so great in all the right ways.” You say so dreamily, palm propping your head up.

Robin just takes it all in, not ‘cause she wants to. But because she has to. She really does love you. Truly. Had it been anyone else she’d probably grow just a smidge irritated. Well, not like she wasn’t right now. This, here, right now, her zen time? She’d likely pick up a book and enjoy her favorite drink and go to town, and that was the initial plan—but alas, here you were talking about Zoro like a schoolgirl in love.

So yeah, she was a smidge irritated but she’d tolerate it, for you.

“Do you want me to stop talking about him?” You smile, sheepishly while tracing the outline of the wooden table.

If Nami was here, she’d answer with the most blunt and straightforward, YES! ever. Pity for Robin that she wasn’t there to accompany the two of you.

She smiles back, just a little lighter. “I can’t promise I won’t cancel you out while you do.”

You whine her name, resting your head on her shoulder while she swirls her coffee around with a spoon, you have a light grip of her arm.

Like seriously, if it were anyone else.

“Why don’t you tell him how you feel?” Would be the logical approach, and she, by all means, is right. But you often defied logic, many times reaping the consequences. This was one of those times. “You never truly know what he might be thinking.”

“That’s just it. It could go so wrong!”

“It could also go right.” She peers down at your desperate figure, clinging onto her like she was your life-line.

Shit, couldn’t argue with that.

You sigh in a last effort of defiance, “I think I’m fine with liking him from a distance. It’s not doing me any harm right now,” you resume in your own activity—that being fiddling with your fingers, pulling away from the black-banged woman. “Yeah… I mean, watching him work out in the Crow’s Nest is kinda hot.” She giggles at your remark. Wow, that’s kinda surprising.

She’d probably regret it though, it grants you a chance to egg the topic on, “There’s something so charming about his attitude and personality, though. Like he could be such a good boyfriend—No, he’d be a great husband.”

Robin says nothing, a little hm, flipping to the next page over.

And this is where you kinda start feeling bad, it’s not the first she’s gotten an ear load about how dreamy and handsome you thought Zoro was. Probably wouldn’t be the last, either. You’ve yapped Nami’s ear off about it and she was not as generous when it came to your rambles. Partially because there was so much she could take and partially because she cringed at how highly you spoke of him. She couldn’t take it anymore, so… you moved onto your next victim. A voice of reason, (like you’d ever listen to reason anyways.) Robin.

Surprisingly she speaks, “You should be more careful with where you say things.”

…Okay? You look back up to her after your arms are crossed over the other with your cheek leaning on top for a little duration of time, and get a look at the woman as an effort to make her push a little further into her statement.

But she doesn’t. Abruptly Robin stands from her seat, she closes her book and brings her coffee with her. She looks over to the door, as if someone was there—then to you.

“I wish you the best of luck with the swordsman.”

You giggle, “You say that like he’s—”

Oh.

Oh.

And then your worst fears come true. You lose vision of her, and then it’s replaced with the thief of your heart.

Oh shit.

His tone is condescending, and he lifts his head up as if to mock you, “Like I’m?” His shoulder is leaning against the door frame of the room; you’re frozen in place. Eyes as wide as flying saucers, hands gripping the nearby surface. You whimper very slightly.

Shit, was this her plan all along? Was that why she giggled at what you said? She wasn’t really trying to egg you on to speak anymore but, it was so perfect. She did this on purpose, get you to spill in possibly the most convenient time possible. You should’ve known. She’s never taken interest like this before.

And how couldn’t you sense his presence?!

Your palms are sweaty, you’re hot all over, “Like… like…” But he only grins, and it’s so sadistic, he takes delight in your shocked state. He’s truly the devil.

“Guessin’ we’ve got lots to talk about, huh?”

[quinloki]

Hi Quin <3

I may or may not have gone through your entire catalog haha (^///^) Thank you for feeding us all so well ☆ Such stunning works!!!!! (シ_ _ )シ

I was wondering, I find that I keep on reading the same people a lot. Have you discovered some cool new people to read from recently? any great recs? stuff you keep coming back to?

Anyways, you're awesome!! And I can't wait to read what you come up with next!!!!!

=O Sideblogs and everything?

...

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

(*/ω＼*)

Goodness. ❤️I'm glad you enjoyed my stuff enough to read all that. I'm a terribly wordy ^^;

Ah! But hmmm... I do tend to read from many of the same folks, especially since I ended up surrounded by impressive writers.

But let's do this:

@swampstew - if you follow me, you know her. I cannot fathom otherwise, and if you don't, start here.

this is @icy-spicy's master list - I'd have that cold shower ready before you start, but there's more than One Piece there.

@mydisenchantedeulogy writes for a lot of fandoms, her words are so good I'm a fan of her stories without even having seen the universes they come from.

@un-shit-yourself is a long time real life friend, and a fantastic writer. Mostly Dragon Age, but the writing pulls you in. We chat, but we don't usually cross post, so you probably don't know about this one even if you do follow me.

@zoros-sheath - if you haven't read Magnets, start there, otherwise go hog wild. I can't imagine you're going to find anything bad.

@standfucker - whew, I look - Zen makes me wonder why I even write because what she writes is just too goddamn hot. Y'all don't need me, you got her. (I say this in jest, I'm going nowhere I promise) White Out and Rotation are two of my favorites, but Stowing Away to Save Yourself is something I specifically requested and gods was I served well.

@writing-yarn-goblin and @lyndsyh24 and @theaceofflamesposts are here, but you're more likely to enjoy the first two on Wattpad and the last on Ao3. Lyn's getting more active here, but her library is full of good stuff - fluffier than my usual work, but just as good imo. Lyn is one of the biggest reasons y'all get to deal with me at all. She was a saint when I stumbled into Wattpad.

I love @heyitsdoe and @/bas-writes stuff - they are both phenomenal writers. Bas has shifted away from OP a little and is more into JJK, but if you're looking for solid fic to read, then you will find tons there and I promise you'll enjoy it =3 Doe is super sweet and her writing is always a full meal, I've commissioned her and it was far and away worth every penny.

Honestly, I'd really recommend checking out my Following page. I leave it public, but everyone on it is either a friend, a writer, an artist, or some combination of all three.

I could go on in this post for like 5,000 more words and not hit everyone who has delighted me. @cyborg-franky @coza-main @lerya-fanfic @leakyweep @leftsidebonfire -- I'm going to hit a damn tag limit again.

@thus-spoke-lo is a little on the darker side, but gods alive I love her work, and I could read it for hours if I had the hours to spare.

@vizkopa writes in a way that helped me loosen up and write more how I wanted to, so thank her for that, and enjoy what she's got - mostly on Wattpad I believe? I know that's where I've read it.

Seriously, just peruse my followers, if you need something new.

But know that like me, they're 18+ and that's a boundary for their comfort as much as anything else. So don't break that.

Ultra age bits: The Timeline

So I'm going to try and look in deep at the various bits of the fanbook, at least those that look potentially interesting to see if there's something new and comment on my finding or lack thereof. Beware, my comments might not be positive.

The first thing I tried to look at is the timeline, which is basically the first thing we have after the Bakugou's illustration.

Now, I do love timelines, I did ask/beg Horikoshi to share one when we could make questions to him hoping especially for a more detailed description of the events prior to the series and to better know when the ones show in the series took place, so the idea the fanbook had one left me delighted and I planned to have it carefully translated and then to scanlate the pages which have it like I did for the previous timeline...

...until I looked at the damn thing and saw it contained nothing worth of interest, being actually inferior to the very first timeline.

I didn't exactly expect a detailed timeline like my Full “Boku No Hero Academia” Timeline (Last update: 2024-09-28) because I believed this would have been maybe too much but this timeline contains ZERO new info, it barely lists facts prior to the start of the story and regroups them not under dates or, at least, months, but seasons.

The manga takes the time to mention months here and there and they went with seasons, as if we couldn't figure them out by ourselves.

I saw fans with a lower level of obsession for timelines than me do better jobs at recostructing it.

This is not worth an effort higher than the transcription of a google translate translation so that's all it gets. Even if the google translation is not great I'm sure you'll get what's going on because it's just a list of so well known facts you could have done it yourself.

By the way said facts don't consider worth mentioning what happens in the movies, in chap 431 or in the short story in Ultra Age. For a fanbook that came AFTER the release of the volumes and who contains said short story and even waste time giving more space to some of the movie characters than the one the Todoroki family gets, I find this a waste. Also the whole timeline refers to Shigaraki Zen as AFO even when he wasn't a Villain yet.

It was really not that difficult to write "Shigaraki Zen (the future All for One) and Yoichi are born" but no, let's go with "All for One and Yoichi are born" just in case readers would be traumatized by learning AFO's name here and not much later in the fanbook because order is a bad thing.

Anyway I'll share with you the google translation. I doubt I'll fix it, if someone is interested I'll let it up to them.

Check out the main events in the story from Izuku’s point of view! Check out the history of Heroes vs. Villains!!!

Get to Know my Tav!

Thank you to @sporeservant for putting together this ask game! Behold, my Tav!

Silence | Tiefling Monk | She/Her

What is your Tav’s…

favorite weapon: Silence uses her master's old staff, when she's not just punching, kicking, or using elemental ki attacks. Or explosives.

style of combat: Fast and chaotic. Silence was a tavern brawler before her master took her in and taught her the monkish arts, and the more she progresses in her adventure, the more her old "win at any cost, no such thing as a fair fight" comes out. It was a bad day for the Absolute when Silence discovered smokepowder bombs.

most prized possession: Her master's collection of notes. Travel notes, recipes, remedies, poetry... The old man wrote down everything, and Silence regrets not taking more in when he was alive to teach her.

deepest desire: At a surface level, she believes it's revenge for her master and lover's deaths. Underneath that, though, it's the peace and belonging she felt with them.

guilty pleasure: Drunken brawling. She can only keep up the zen act for so long...

best-kept secret: She's afraid of never being loved, and dying alone

greatest strength: Determination

fatal flaw: Insecurity

favorite smell: The tea blends her master taught her to make

favorite spell or cantrip: Either Fist of Four Thunders, or Ride the Wind (in my head she absolutely has a wuxia-esque scene of soaring over the rooftops at some point)

pet peeve: People being casual about demonic/infernal forces. As a tiefling born to human parents and abandoned, she knows the consequences of dabbling with the infernal

bad habit: Taking on other people's problems without thinking things through

hidden talent: Tea-blending. She thought it was a stupid hobby when her master tried to teach her. Now that she's turned her mind to it seriously as a way to remember him, it turns out she has a talent for it

leisure activity: Either qi gong style exercises, or, if she's feeling more energetic, climbing the nearest tall tree or building, as high as she can go

favorite drink: Either tea or wine, depending on her mood

comfort food: Hearty, slow cooked comfort foods like soups and stews. And peaches.

favorite person: In the past, that was her master, and Veldryn, her lover. In the present, it's Astarion (even when he drives her mad)

favored display of affection (platonic and/or romantic): Hugs! She's strong, and a hug from her is the tightest you'll ever get. Will even wrap her tail around you to get as much hug as possible!

fondest childhood memory: Climbing onto the rooftop of the monastery where she was dumped. Staying there all night, knowing no one would miss her until morning, and almost feeling free

Is there anything else you'd like to share?: Only that I haven't felt so fond of an OC for a very long time, and she broke a horrendously long writer's block for me. I haven't included her full backstory here, but feel free to ask more!

"But don’t say things like “this twin” or “that twin”—I don’t really mind, but Yuuta-kun does."

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Dojo

Hinata: ‘Scuse me~!

Ossu! ♪ This is Aoi Hinata, the reliable older brother of 2wink! You here, Kiryu-senpai~?

Umm, it’s about the outfit I asked you for! I thought maybe it’d be done about now, so I stopped by to pick it up!

You’re probably busy though, aren’t you, Kiryu-senpai~?

Theeen I’ll just call off my request for the outfit, so you don’t have to worry about… Oh?

Tetora: … …

Hinata: Hey, it’s Tetsu-kun! Hey-o~, what’re you up to?

Strange, only Tetsu-kun’s around? Is Kiryu-senpai not here? Hello~?

Tetora: … …

Hinata: Hi-yah~! ☆ [1]

Tetora: Owah~!? What’re you doing all’a sudden!? Are you an assassin out to get me!?

Hinata: Ahaha, no one’s tryna kill you, Tetsu-kun! Wow, what an amazing reaction time!

Even while meditating in a zen state, you were able to notice my jumping kick and dodge immediately, huh…♪

Impressive as always, Karate Club! It was just a test, Tetsu-kun, so don’t get mad, ‘kay~? Y’know, a little prank! ♪

Yup, here’s your certificate! From here on, you may call yourself lǎoshī, okay?

Tetora: Sorry, I’m findin’ it difficult to respond to a flurry of words thrown at me… You’re real energetic in this cold weather, aren’tcha, Aoi-kun…

Ermm, you’re the twin that’s Hinata-kun, right?

Hinata: Mhm. But don’t say things like “this twin” or “that twin”—I don’t really mind, but Yuuta-kun does.

I don’t blame you, though! Even I spot myself in the mirror and exclaim, “Yuuta-kun!” from time to time!

Hmm… Maybe I should wear a name tag with “Hinata” written on it to make it easier to tell us apart?

Tetora: More importantly, didja have somethin’ to do at the dojo? As you can see, the Karate Club’s got the day off from club activities today, so~?

Hinata: Well as I can see, it looks like you’re practicing meditating or something, Tetsu-kun! Doesn’t that count as practice—or perhaps, training?

Why zen meditation, actually? I guess there’s a big sign in the back with “self-control!” on it, but what exactly is the training for?

I don’t really get it, but it looks fun, so, I’m in! ♪

Tetora: Ooh… Wow, amazin’ as always. I mean, you need a flexible body for zen meditation…

But you got yourself into the right posture just fine. Meanwhile, my body’s so stiff that I almost felt like my bones were gonna crack.

I forced my body into this meditation position, so now I can’t get outta it on my own… I’d love some help unfolding my legs if that’s alright with ya…[2]

Although, I feel bad for making a guest do work…

Hinata: Okay~! ♪ Whoa, you’re seriously stiffened up! It’s like you locked your own joints up… You did it so clumsily that it’s practically a skill in itself!

Tetora: Owowow! Please be a li’l more gentle on me!

Hinata: Bear with it, okay~, you’ll hurt your muscles if you move! Alright, there we go! ♪

Tetora: Ahh, whew… You really saved me there, ossu. I’ll be absolutely sure to repay the favor—You have Nagumo Tetora’s word on it!

Hinata: Right. So, is Kiryu-senpai here? I need him for something real quick, so~…

Tetora: Ahh, Taisho’s been making outfits for a bunch’a units that’ve sent in a request.[3] He’s real close to finishing ‘em all up, so he’s confining himself to his home in order to try and stay focused.

I wanna help him out too, but I’d just get in his way when it comes to that stuff~… I’ve got the free time now ‘cuz I don’t have any idol work either, so I settled with doin’ some self-training.

I seem to have no self-restraint, or more like, I immediately act on the first decision I make… I wanna get a better handle of that part of myself, so that’s why I was doin’ zen meditation.

The “self-control!” hanging scroll is meant to embody my resolve~♪

Hinata: I see… I thought maybe you were suppressing somethin’ strange down…

My brother’s like that too, but you’ll reach a breaking point if you don’t get it out of your system in time, you know?

Tetora: Well, it’s just in my nature to do this. If I don’t learn to keep control of myself through zen meditation and stuff, I’ll just end up causing trouble by running ‘round without any thought, and that doesn’t help anyone~

I’ve had enough of bein’ that “klutzy kid” to everyone.

← prev | story directory | next →

I wasn’t able to convey it clearly in English, but Hinata is mimicking Bruce Lee’s signature cry here, so it’s likely he’s doing a Bruce Lee jumping kick as well.

One of the zen meditation postures require you to sit in lotus position, as shown in Tetora’s CG.

Taisho (Taishou, 大将) is how Tetora calls Kuro. It means “chief”, “boss”, “general”.

Echoes of Home: 65 - Steve ("confused and upset hyur")

Echoes of Home: FFXIV AU OC – WoLs on Earth

We were low on maple, so I went out this morning to harvest maple.  It was a nice, straightforward, zen-like activity that required a modicum of concentration and physical effort.  After an hour and a half of chopping I got to the point where I was no longer certain I wanted to hospitalize "Master Shen".

I still felt he needed talking to, though.  We didn't know him, we had no reason to trust him, we shouldn't have been too surprised that directions from a total stranger wouldn't work out as expected.  But a betrayal of that sort nevertheless seemed particularly rude, and I believed it would be best if I disabused him of the idea that it was okay.

So I was back on the bus to Tulsa when I got a call from Sam saying Deputy Frank wanted to search our workshop.  I didn't like the first impression of the man after the last Dewey incident, I didn't like how he'd been haunting us at the diner, and today I started to wonder what bug was up his butt about us that he used the testimony of a known ne'er-do-well as a flimsy excuse to investigate us.  

This did not improve my mood, though it spread the focus a bit from "Master Shen."  So by the time I got back to Flying Tigers, while I was still on the edge of seriously pissy, I was willing to hear him out.

He didn't have much to say, though.  When I got there he was with a twentysomething blonde, getting handsy with her as he helped her with some sort of stance.  Then he saw me come in and his eyes got wide.  For a moment I thought he was going to use her as a shield, but he moved away from her and dropped into a stance of his own.

I just stood there with a forced smile that probably didn't reach my eyes.  The blonde looked back and forth between us.  "Tony?  What's going on?"

A little tension bled out of me as I tried not to laugh.  He really was a Tony.  "Yeah, Tony, what's going on?  I thought we were friends."

He shifted in his stance, though it looked like he was trying hard not to run.  "Just get outta here.  I don't want any trouble."

I kept smiling and took a step forward. "Well, neither did I, Tony.  You know, when my wife and I went to that bar you sent us to, we didn't want any trouble.  We certainly didn't want to get rolled."

"I don't know anything about that!  Just leave, okay?"

"Can't do that, Tony."  I took another step.  "Not until we talk."

Something thwacked me between the shoulderblades.  I turned to look at the blonde; she'd found one of those bamboo kendo swords.  "You know those aren't supposed to actually…"

Then something thudded into my gut.  From the way Tony was dancing back, I guessed it had been his foot.  He darted in with a fast sequence of punches, which, to be fair, might have hurt someone who didn't have level 80 armor and forty to fifty times his strength.

As it was, all it did was bring him into grabbing range.  I got the front of his gi in one hand and lifted.  From a foot in the air he pounded at my arm with his fists while still trying to kick my torso.  The blonde kept swatting me with the sword until I turned, still holding Tony, and snatched it away from her.

"This your girlfriend, Tony?  Does she know you set up perfect strangers to get attacked in dive bars?"

He was still struggling and still not speaking.  I lowered him slightly until his eyes were level with mine and his toes brushed the mat.

"Why, Tony?  Cut the crap and tell me why you sent us to a biker bar!"

"It's not a biker bar!  You looked like you wanted a fight!  I figured you'd get a fight there!"

"Trainer.  We wanted a fight trainer.  Not guys who'd take us out back and try to rob us."

"Well, call the police or something!  That's not my fault!"

I lowered him onto his feet, but brought his face closer to mine. My voice grew soft.  "I said 'try', Tony.  Remember how I said we wanted to learn how not to kill people?  That wasn't a good learning experience."

He went very still, though I could feel trembling through the gi.

I suddenly felt tired.  Tony was an idiot, perhaps a dangerous idiot, but he wasn't dangerous to me.  I was on the verge of swatting a fly with a wrecking ball.

"Okay…look.  I'm going to do you a favor.  I'm not replacing your BOB, but I'm walking out of here.  I won't come back.  Try not to endanger anyone else, okay?  If I somehow hear you did, I might feel motivated to come back after all.  Are we clear?"

He didn't answer.  I took that for a yes.  I let go of him, and nodded to the blonde.  "Ma'am."  Then I turned and walked out.

I settled in a Starbucks, got myself a stupidly expensive tea, and browsed on my phone some of the other studios we'd looked at before.  Most were within reasonable walking or bike distance, so once I'd pushed Tony and Flying Tigers at least partially out of my mind I went to have a look.

Most of them weren't all that different.  Rising Star Dojo had a weapon rack, some trophies in a case and people in black gi, but what I saw of a session looked very stiff and limited, certainly nothing like the Gladiator guild in Ul'dah.  Nor did Meteor Martial Arts compare to the Pugilist guild.  The other four I visited seemed par with them.  Odds are, while they may be fine in tournaments on Earth, none of them would stand a chance in the field with an Eorzean vilekin.

All the browsing didn't leave me in the best of moods, and the Deputy Frank incident wasn't helping.  I think at the time I thought it was a coincidence that I was back on the northwest side of town, but in retrospect the order I looked at studios did sort of lead there.

Still, the only likely reason I had for going back to Murray's was that I wanted to take my mood out on something.  Or someone.

The bartender remembered me.  "What happened to not seeing you again?"

"I just came for a beer."

"You didn't pay for the last one."

"...You're right.  How much do I owe you?"

"Bar's closed.  Get out."

I considered arguing with him, but didn't see the point.  We hadn't made the best impression yesterday.  I turned to the door just in time to see Mustache coming in.  He stared at me in shock before blurting, "The fuck are you doing here?"

I met his eyes.  "Leaving, apparently."

"You think so?"  His right wrist was bandaged.  He reached behind his back with his left hand and pulled out a gun, though it was clearly not his preferred hand.  "You think you're just walking outta here after what you did?"

I sighed.  I switched to Paladin and raised my shield.  "Might want to get out of my way."

"...The fuck…"

I shieldbashed him.  He had his pals behind him, but not a wall like Dewey, so he went down on his back with his gun sliding away.  Choker and Shoulder looked down at him, then at me.

I heard a ka-chak beside me, and turned my shield to face the bartender, who had his shotgun out.  I said, "Not a good idea…"

He pulled the trigger.

A shotgun blast is a lot more statistical than a handgun round.  A single bullet can bounce off something and go in one direction, but a shotgun sends a bunch of pellets, concentrated at the core, which means an increased chance of blowback bouncing off a hard surface right back at the shooter.

The bartender screamed, dropped the gun and clutched at his face.

At that point I could have just walked out.  None of them could have stopped me.  But I had to admit that the situation was at least partly my fault…what did I think would happen by going back there?  And too stupid to live doesn't necessarily mean deserving to die or be disfigured.

Shoulder and Choker were about to jump me, but stopped dead when I switched to White Mage.  My glamour is more white suit than robe, but the staff is definitely mage-y.  I gave them a brief glare before banging the staff on the floor and casting Cure on the bartender.

It was the first time I'd used White Mage on Earth, and certainly the first time I'd cast Cure on an Earthling, but it worked.  He shuddered briefly before slowly lowering his hands from his now-unwounded face.  He gently tapped on his cheeks and chest, then stared at me.

They were all staring at me, including Mustache, half-sitting up on the floor.  I noticed Choker too had a bandaged wrist, and Shoulder's shoulder was in a sling.  Since I was already dressed for it, I cast a Cure on each of them in turn.

I sighed again and shifted back to Earth normal.  "Right.  Bar's closed."

No one tried to stop me from walking out the door.

I picked an alley to duck down and Returned.  I walked to the Pit -- "my" bar -- and went inside to ask for a cider.  Sam brought a bottle out for me, studying my face. "Long day?"

"Someone pulled a gun on me in a bar in Tulsa.  Does every dickhead in a bar have a gun?"

"This here's Oklahoma.  Every dickhead anywhere might have a gun.  Though they ain't s'posed to have 'em in a bar."

"So Dewey's in jail for that?"

"Nah, he claims he was drunk, so poor judgment an' stuff.  Havin' a gun in a bar's a felony.  Havin' a gun while drunk's a misdemeanor."

"You're shitting me."

"I shit you not."

"...You really know your gun law."

"I know my bar law."

I took the bottle out to the workshop.  Tsu'na was there making steel rods for me to use as bike wheel spokes.  There was already a set of steel tubes on the design table.

I settled on a stool across from her, set down my laptop and bottle, and started typing up the day.  She stopped working and watched me.  Cat TV.

"Husband?"

I sighed and told her about my day.

"What did you tell me about confused and upset hyur?"

"That we don't want to be around confused and upset hyur."

"You confused and upset some hyur today, did you not?"

"Yes, my love."

"Do healers in this world use magic?"

"I have never observed any doing so."

"Will your using magic confuse and upset more hyur?"

"Well, the bartender's not wounded, and that bar doesn't have cameras either, so I don't see how anyone would believe them."

She nodded thoughtfully, and contemplated the rod in her hand.  "I am making bicycle components for you.  Perhaps you should concentrate on making your bicycle.  It should be constructive and instructive and not confusing or upsetting."

"Have I mentioned how much I love your clarity of vision?"

"I would not fault you for mentioning it again."

[gaykarstaagforever]

I decided to pretend to be a man and play Arkham Asylum on Hard. I.e., hits do a lot more damage and and there's no counter-attack indicator.

Except THERE IS. If you're so bad at it, as I am about 50% of the time, the game assumes something is wrong with your brain and frantically flashes the "press Y to counter" prompt during the fight.

Yes, thank you. This is obviously my fault, and not yours, for making everything dark and murky and constantly attacking me with 16 guys who have animation loops inconsistently telegraphing attacks, and also the animations are having them teleport around the arena because this weird free-form 3D combat engine must have been an absolute nightmare to get to work at all.

It's still impressive, as an effort that pays off really well maybe a quarter of the time? If you randomly hit the right buttons and the game randomly decides to respond appropriately.

"YOU JUST HAVE TO HIT A ZEN FLOW-STATE WITH IT!"

Yes, that helps. But that is fundamentally not the ONE solution to "getting gud" at this. There is a lot of RNG jank going on here.

Especially when you unlock more advanced auto-takedown perks, which are literally cheats that just make the combat slightly easier. You'll hit the trigger, and suddenly all the enemies are standing their quietly, waiting to get hit. I mean, I like the idea, but it really is a "make the game easier suddenly" thing.

I respect how much of a mess this is, and how well they managed it. It's JUST good enough to work. And that's why it's been so influential. But it is by no means perfect.

I'm at the Ivy boss battle, which is annoying when it's easy, and is hilariously frustrating on Hard. You have to actively pay attention to three simultaneous things, or you will absolutely die immediately. And you NEVER accurately predict where the edges of her killer grass patches are. Sometimes you can clip into them and you're fine, sometimes you're clearly outside them and you get grabbed and lose a quarter of your health.

This battle is one of those situations where it's fun precisely because it's bullshit, and I absolutely understand that it's purposely hard and that I will fail it 9 times in a row before I accidentally beat it.

I've never had over like a 12 hit streak. Even in the challenge maps, even on Normal. I think I am fundamentally misunderstanding what the game wants me to do. Like I think at that point you really need to start doing the combos exclusively to keep building it. But I always dodge-jump or Batarang or cape-bewilder because I feel like Batman would do that in a fight. Plus then you get a bonus for variation.

And by the end they're layering the stupid cattleprod and knife guys at you. And I still don't know if the combo moves take them down, or if you have to distract them first like normal.

I've been replaying this since it came out in 2009, and I still have no idea how the combat actually works. Which either means I'm stupid, or there is enough RNG in here that it's inherently variable. I have no idea. I assume I'm stupid.

It's not a hard game. But it can be moderately challenging, and I think it strikes a good balance between making me take it seriously and being fun. And that's what great games do.

...The Neon Skeleton Vision needs to show enemy vision cones, though. Oh my god. These guys swing their heads around like they're dancing. Batman should be able to tell where they're looking. Games older than this manage that, so it wasn't a tech thing, they just didn't think about it.

Also I have yet to get all the Riddler crap. I want to, until I start trying, then I get bored and frustrated. Plus I think some of them are timed, but you also have to have the necessary tech unlocks at that moment to get them? Which is bullshit.

#123 Aaiiee people!

Staying at sister in Iaw's place is very open house in comparison to the little flat we had.

I walked into the kitchen to see a purple hooded person raiding the freezer. They were maybe(?) a relation and I have no idea why they were in the kitchen and was afraid to ask - they don't live here. Then there was a tall male relation whose name I forget but who walks in whenever. There have been two other friends/people who turn up as and when and walk right in.

Then again, I'm a bald eyebrow-less goblin wearing a saffron coloured shift. (I was gifted it unexpectedly and I have limited clean clothes right now. It does make me look like a tragic white girl who's taken Buddhism a bit too seriously, but what can you do?).

I had a long conversation with T (someone who I think is an actual housemate) who if I understand correctly, spent ages trying to explain WWI Spiritualism to me, and the basic concept of 'as above so below' - which is quantum or magic or both - and also zen archery. All of which I am too painfully aware of, often overly aware of, and vaguely aware of (and wish I knew more of) - in that order.

Then he told me I shouldn't have chemotherapy because doctors are bad evil liars, chemotherapy is poison, and if I just ate more broccoli, that would totally cure cancer.

I was very polite and not sarcastic or scathing or mean at all. But I really wanted to be. Because... Seriously?

Oh yes dear boy, I am letting doctors poison me because I didn't know about the miracle of açai berries and kale oh alas alack fie and for shame, oh foolish me, if only I had drunk more green tea I never would have lost a tit nor ever had the need of this terrible medical poison!

FUUUUCCCKKKK!!!

Look hippy boy, do not @ me. Your last hospital stay was in the '70s for a broken limb, and because someone turfed you out of a bed early, you think every doctor is a bastard and every nurse a bitch. Also you think the old guy you once saw in '74 who didn't know who or where he was immediately after coming out of emergency heart surgery would have been... what? Better off just being dead? Yeah - how dare doctors try and succeed in saving him and he be groggy from not dying. FFS.

I have news for you. 50 bloody years have passed. That's a lifetime. Why do you insist on thinking things are the same a generation ago? Or that one arsehole doctor who didn't care enough about your fracture is the same as every single doctor treating everything in the world ever?

I have to listen-not-listen. By which I mean try to actively not listen to a conversation I can totally hear and don't want to hear at all. (And if I had headphones so I could listen to anything else it would be easier, but like an idiot I did not pack my headphones.)

You think I want this? You think if eating more salad would have saved me I wouldn't already be doing that shit?! You think I don't eat green stuff? Bitch, I hate fast food, I love vegetables, hate grease, meat's okay, sugar's so-so, bread and rice are the best, and I know how to cook a very fine five course dinner party, thank you.

My point is... I'm not having surgery and poison through basic nutritional and culinary ignorance or for fun - I'm having it so I won't die.

Kale and broccoli will not save me you arrogant arse. You do not hold the secrets of the universe. Your salad and berry tea cannot fix cancer. But the hospital can, and is even now, yes, via poison.

We poison the evil cells, and the rest of the body survives - because the body is nails AF - what is so hard to understand about that?

Sorry, I keep trying not to be cross, but every time I think about the conversation it pisses me off something chronic.

[whats-a-human]

music is underrated

Seriously, I've never seen anyone talk about music in modern witchcraft, and that's weird to me cuz I know most if not all of you pagans absolutely adore music. At least I do!

Plus, it has been like, primordial for witchcraft and religion in general since humans have been a thing. It connects people, helps achieve trance or specific emotions, gives you catharsis and is just perfect in every way.

So here's some help for implementing music in your practice if you're interested:

Listen to specific songs that will help you get in the right mood for the spell/ritual/sigil you wanna perform

Cast spells by dancing, create choreography-based spells

Meditate on a song that's important to you, ask why it's important, what emotions it gives you and why

Pay attention to the song you're listening, try to hear the instruments or beats in the back. I've noticed I can hear so many more "parts" of my songs after practicing Zen (not only after meditating, I mean as a permanent upgrade lol)

Compose magic songs/spells in song format

Compose spell lyrics for instrumental songs

Visualize an intention while singing with all your heart to a song that vibes with your intention

Put music in the background while doing your craft

I remember that I dreamt using a song for a spell, then I did and now every time I listen to it I get goosebumps and powerful feelings. I even feel that spell "activating" a bit even though I don't mean to (that's why we don't do hexes, kids! Jk, it was a good spell). I think I can even fully activate it again just by hearing the song if I want to, because it meant a lot to me even before I became pagan.

Seriously, mindfully using music and dance in your craft is really, really worth it.

RFA Boys

Jumin:

- gives them CONSTANTLY. there will always be at least one your body

- he does it on purpose, of course, lest anyone think you’re single

(Getting)

- doesn’t really sit still enough for you to give him many

- if you manage to sneak one, though, he won’t notice it for a good while

- when he does notice he thinks it’s cute and will go out of his way to look in the mirror

- it’s very awkward for the rest of the office staff when they’re in a meeting and he has a ginormous hickey on his neck 

Zen:

(Giving)

- he knows the power of appearance so he’s careful to only leave them in places always covered by clothes

- inner thigh is his favorite place to put them

- likes to kiss them while they’re healing

(Getting)

- his albinism makes his skin very sensitive. because of this, he almost always has faint red scratch marks on his back from activities

- will outright ask you for them (he thinks they’re hot)

- once, he had one on his neck at an audition and there was a media frenzy. pictures of him with a hickey on his neck practically broke the internet. you were very embarrassed by it and kept on apologizing, but he promised you it was fine

- “jagiya, they needed to know that I’m yours”

Yoosung:

(Giving)

- at the beginning, he wouldn’t dare give you one — he feels like it would disrespect you

- after a few months of dating and a lot of reassurance from you, he would make an attempt at a hickey but would fail miserably

- probably wouldn’t be able to get it right until the fifth time

(Getting)

- squeaks whenever you try (it’s a visceral reaction)

- thinks he’ll get in trouble for it at uni, so he’ll wear hoodies with the hood up even in the summer heat

- likes the feeling, so he’ll wine when you stop

- “babyyyy, why’d you stop?”

“yoosung, it’s bright red”

“so?”

[nutton-of-tata]

my actual rank of each sih boy based on my factual opinions lmao

ranking this from favorite to least favorite

1. Onodera Ritsu

The best character in my humble opinion and so far every ritsu hater is a takano or yokozawa simp so hmm,, interesting. anyway he's the best written one and people either kin him or are just obsessed with drawing him, no in between.

2. Hatori Yoshiyuki

people who hate hatori are pussies. he is so hot. like jesus fuck. i wouldnt mind getting the herp from him. but in all seriousness, i think people SERIOUSLY overreact when reading the novels cause he's not really different from the other sihjr tops, it's just written with a lot of detail for no reason. anyway he's also the least developed i believe? in terms of his own backstory. I want to know about him. I want to know why he's such a grump and so stoic. I want to know how bad his farts stink

3. Kisa Shouta

i liked him more when he was shallow tbh but thats just my drama loving ass talking. anyway he's the most relatable to adults who have had faulty relationships and depression n love their job (and also hate it). ngl i dont even find him attractive, hes like the only sihjr boy i do not really simp for at all

4. Chiaki Yoshino

To the people who hate Chiaki: Grow up.

5. Yukina Kou

People who hate yukina don't exist cause I killed them. But also i like him a lot less than I should. He's so normal. He's the least problematic (unless you count him slapping the fuck out of kisa problematic) character and he's the only person who hasn't committed sexual assault. That's great and all, but there's not much else for me to like him besides the fact that he's got a banging body n face and has a nice personality. thats really it.

6. Yokozawa Takafumi

he's that one dude i remember actively HATING when i was younger but now he aint that bad. something about him is very hot and i wish he lactated. but he's not a favorite of mine, his conflict with ritsu honestly upset me way more than it should (even if it was in good faith since takano was leading him on fr). good character, just not my favorite.

7. Kirishima Zen

he's hot. that's it. his hair makes me think of caramel

8. Takano Masamune

im sorry takano fans but ima be honest.

He's boring

[selfdestructivecat]

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4 (final)

I’ve been wishing for skirt Virgil for the past few days and finally he’s been summoned! I’m such a simp that I gave him an entire comic lmao

But seriously, go Virgil! Must have been scary to put himself out like that but he DID and he looks AWESOME!

(Also I made it Prinxiety because I could)

Text below!

*Panel 1*

V: I-I don’t know about this...

P: C’mon, Virgil! I’m sure you look great!

L: Patton and I have already partaken in this... unusual activity, and now it is your turn.

R: I hope you don’t plan on backing out now, Zen-Gay-A. And after you kept us waiting for so long!

V: D-don’t rush me! I’m changing as fast as I can!

L: Roman, I hope you are aware that the kitchen could provide a suitable amount of water to quench your obvious thirst, are you?

R: L-LOGAN! CEASE AT ONCE!

P: *giggles*

*Panel 2*

V: You... promise you won’t laugh?

L: Our answer has not changed, even after the last ten times you’ve asked us that question. Of course, we won’t.

P: We would never!

R: I will not gaze upon you with anything except pride, Stormcloud. Prince’s honor.

V: O...Okay. I’m coming out.

€Male Hashira React to Their MALE S/O Coming Out As Asexual€

••Part 1 ||→ Giyu, Rengoku, Obanai

••Part 2||→Sanemi, Gyomei, Tengen

→+*:;;:*Demon Slayer Headcanon*:;;:*+←

I have decided not to do Muichiro because of the context that he is 14 years old. Due to this, I will not be adding him to the fic. Though this is about asexuality, and therefore the lack of sex, it is still considered wrong to me.

←Sanemi Shinazugawa→

Really, you were kinda shitting your pants at the idea of coming out to Sanemi. You know he's only abrasive and stubborn because of his past, but sometimes reading him is like asking Gyomei what color shirt you should wear.

Aka, pretty much impossible.

But you both were in a committed relationship, and you didn't want to feel like you were leading him on. There is also the possibility of him feeling like you had higher expectations. Knowing how that feels, you never wanted your boyfriend to feel like that.

So, deciding to get this over with and be blunt, which really is the only way you can approach this like this with Sanemi, you sat him down after his afternoon training. When he heard your voice and how serious you were, he made no move to object beside the occasional grumble.

His normally scowly face turned inquisitive as you sat at the chabudai. He sat across from you and asked what you needed him for. Steeling yourself, you tell him you're asexual, and have no or little desire to have any sexual activity. Making sure Sanemi didn't blame himself was key. Otherwise, he'd blame himself.

His face blanks for a second, then he asks if he made you uncomfortable in anyway. You tell him no, that you trust him to control himself, but some touches just can't happen. Sanemi starts to get a little irritated and asks then what is comfortable to you then? You try to calmly explain that cuddles are fine, soft touches on the shoulders, arms and head are fine, kisses too, as long as it doesn't get too heated.

Sanemi takes a few breaths, but explains to you that he has needs too; sexual needs he wanted to carry out with you since you're special to him. You can't help the tears that start to fall, but Sanemi is quick to sit by your side and wipe them away. He's cursing himself out and telling you he's sorry while you're trying to say you understand and feel sorry you're limiting the his show of love.

It gets so hectic, Sanemi leans forward and head butts you. Nothing like that brat did to him, but it was enough to catch your attention. He firmly apologizes for any misstep he took, and shushes you when you trying interrupting him. He carries on saying his love for you can be expressed in more ways than sex ever could, so he'll just have to get creative. Sanemi loves you dearly, and he doesn't want his lack of self control to be the end what the beautiful thing you both had.

So, he does. Whenever he gets that urge he'll leave and deal with it, then come back and pamper you till you both fall asleep or take a nap. He's still weary about how he touches you, but confident hands on your part will ease his hesitancy. Sanemi also becomes super over protective. He'd glare and growl at anyone that gets too close.

He can't grope you like he would have done originally. So, to combat those people that can't seem to think through their brains, he uses his wind breathing style to quite literally blow them away.

←Himejima Gyomei→

Trust and commitment was always an issue of Gyomei. But once he opens himself up, he is unwavering in his care. He loves you dearly, and he takes this relationship seriously. So why have you been avoiding him?

Gyomei sighed heavily and settled down near the water stream. Thinking over the day within his memories, he recounted how you seemed to have been anxious. Himejima may not be able to see, but he can hear your emotions clear as day, your anxious heart and breathing.

The water rushing through the stream eased him slightly, but the memory of your fear put him on edge. He never liked when you felt anything negative. Himejima always wanted to hear that smile on your face and laugh in your speech.

Standing up, Gyomei listened for your heart beat and followed it towards your shared home. Ever since this relationship became serious, you both decided living in Gyomei's home was the best idea since it had more medical supplies and felt more lived in. So it was an easy walk he figured out leads to the training area in the back of the house.

Opening a sliding door that leads to the Zen garden you helped him plant, he found you setting next to the water fountain you both had chosen as an added on feature. Sitting down next to you, he heard you sigh and felt you lean into his side. Gyomei wrapped a careful hand around your waist and let you get whatever was bothering you out your self.

Mustering up your confidence, you suddenly blurt out that you believe you are asexual. He pauses and let's the thought wash over him, trying to remember where he had heard that term before. Now that he recalled, one of the many older children he had helped before becoming a demon slayer had confided with him about the exact same thing.

With a careful voice, he addressed your rising nervousness, " Sex was never my end goal with you, my Rock. My only goal that I ever had was to make you happy. If you believe that sex would only ever make you uncomfortable, or that being sexually active on a regular basis is unnecessary, then I will do whatever it takes to love you thoroughly another way. "

He embraced you that night, feeling the coolness of the sun slowly setting behind the hills. Gyomei held you close to his chest as he rocked you back and forth, setting a firm, callused, yet somehow soft hand on the back of your neck to keep you still and comfort you.

Himejima no longer tolerated you being around people that he could tell made you uncomfortable. He knew all too well how dangerous and capable you could be when you wanted to, but he also wanted to get that feeling of accomplishment when he successfully guarded you away from those he knew where only trying to get with you for something other than your opinion. Besides, it was rather easy to just walk up behind them and set a hand on their shoulder to scare them off.

← Tengen Uzui→

To say that you were nervous with your most recent, yet blatantly obvious, discovery was an understatement. Being with Uzui was a whole other thing in on its own, and you had to overcome hurdles like any couple to be together. For one, it was rather odd to you that he already had three wives, beautiful women that could give him anything he wanted, yet he still chose to date you.

It unnerved you, a little. Though it was common in your home country that having multiple married partners was common, you always felt like you were encroaching on their daily lives.

But, they always made a show of accepting you. Even going as far as to invite you to their gatherings and trips to the city for shopping and sight seeing. You had an amazing time with them, but you can never get away from their....steamy stories. They always got blushy when recalling their first times with Tengen. It never ceased to make you uncomfortable, and they would always tease you about having to excuse your self when the topic of their sex lives came up.

Now that you thought back on it, it was glaringly obvious how you came up with your discovery in sexuality. Though it was already said, you were nervous. Nervous about what Uzui would think, about how his wives would think, and your standing in the relationship would turn. If you even had a relationship after this to begin with.

But, this needed to come out, and you don't think you'd be able to continue to live in a relationship where you couldn't be yourself. So, you had called them all in. It was a lot more intimidating than you would have imagined it to be. All four of them sat around the table with you, each had a different expression on their face.

Tengen set a firm hand on your thigh, trying to give you a supporting hold, but it only made your nerves stand on end. Taking a deep breath, you took his hand into your own and lifted it to sit firmly on the table. Tengen blinked in surprise, as did Suma, Hinatsuru, and Makio.

Deciding to not beat around the bush this time, you tell your recent discovery about being asexual. The silence given afterwards was very...tense. They looked in between each other for quite sometime, likely having a silent convention you weren't privy to even try and understand. It started to get suffocating, and it felt like you couldn't breathe.

You quickly made your way out of their. Standing up quickly and getting out of the room despite your name being called out by four other voices. Getting to your room within Uzui's home, you close the door and lock the door. Going to your futon, you breathe deeply in and out while tears stream down your face.

Footsteps made you freeze. And a soft whisper of your name made you look up towards your door. Hearing a slight thump, you can only imagine as Tengen sits against the locked door and calls out your name again. Sighing, you get up and sit on the other side of the door, giving him a chance to hear you.

Uzui makes sure you're okay before telling you that he was sorry. He explained that he didn't mean for allowing your anxieties to eat away at you like they did, and expressed his wish to be able to help you with them like a good partner should. He tells you that he loves you no matter what, and Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru agree. He didn't mean to make you uncomfortable with his touch either, and his wives apologize for not seeing how uncomfortable you were listening to them talk about their past experiences.

Listening to them, you could hear that they were genuine. So, you stood up and unlocked the door, immediately getting engulfed in a hug by the man himself. Sighing, you felt so much better for being accepted. Leaning into his embrace, you were swept off your feet with a yell and layed down on your futon where he and his partners cuddled up around you.

Hello again Zen! First I just wanna say that you don’t need to apologize about what happened to the other fic. If you ever feel like you wanna reattempt it, just tell me and I’ll send it again. This request is also smut like the last one and I hope that’s ok!

So Bakugou, known by the public as the pro hero Dynamight, has been having it tough at work the past 2 weeks. He knew that technically it was partly his fault. You see, Bakugou is in a secret relationship with one of Japan’s most mischievous villains. Y/n L/n. (Male Reader) Y/n was in reality not necessarily a villain. He was seen as one, but he had never actually killed anybody. He was more the type to steal, start some fights/trouble and occasionally blow up some place. He was more mischievous than evil. Though Bakugou knew that Y/n wasn’t as bad as everyone thought, and he knew that Y/n did love him. He just had a bit of history.. With that being said: Bakugou had been having it rough lately because his secret boyfriend had been at it like crazy. He also knew that Y/n was intentionally making things difficult for him. So when he was on his patrol and got an emergency signal about trouble just a few blocks away, boy was he ready to hunt Y/n down! Once he saw him he immediately chased him into an alleyway. Y/n had escaped and ran into an abandoned apartment. He thought he was safe. But when he turned around, he wasn’t so lucky. Shit.. Bakugou was ready to completely ravage and take out all of his frustrations on Y/n, as he had him trapped with nowhere to run.

This one could be considered Revenge/Angry S*x. It’s not non-con since Y/n clearly knew what he was in for, and Bakugou wouldn’t do anything incase Y/n seriously stopped him. The request was kinda long, sorry about that lol. If you don’t feel like writing it then it’s fine, and if you’d like to switch some things up then feel free to do so! Also, don’t feel rushed and take your time. Have a nice day/night! :>

Summary: I'm not a dark blogger, but this req is honestly too amazing. I will change some things as to not make it exactly dark though— And thank you for being patient with me and the recent incident. 💛

Y/N L/N. A name that was a hassle to spit out. Your name was spoke like a horrid sickness spreading west to east. All you were was some mildly lowlife starting cat fights on the streets of Japan. It usually happens at night, and that's also when you strike 24 hour open corner stores. Quite fun to be honest. Your skill being up to par of a spy since your original outing clothing you were seen with was mostly black. Your hair was dyed a certain way after a long past incident though, kinda making you stick out overall you camflouged into the night.

Your pro hero, hot headed, stress filled, boyfriend however, was gold spoon in it's prime. A pro hero who was rich with fame. Oh god he had it all in your eyes. You sometimes cried with tears of joyfulness just at the mere slick thought you were dating him. Not no female who just as good looking, like Creati. No, none of that. It's not like he would change that spite his efforts of frustration with your recent activities these part two years.

The streets are terrific to you for these two years though. Everything is nearly breakable and easily fixed with community money. You would think it was community money atleast. All is good since you made sure to leave your mark with explosives.

Hence your love and passion for your lover, you would smuggle cheap fireworks and set them off at random areas of the late hours. The most recent one being pulled off near a school and and anyone could imagine how the headlines went. The news was erratic with wow and terror of where the explosion even came from, who set it off. Little did they obviously not know —

It was pro hero, Katsuki Bakugous boyfriend.

--

On to other things. Bakugou was in a meeting. Apparently he was being caught up with some warning of a manic villain roaming the streets and city alone.

"So what ?" The room was silent as all eyes transferred front to the back where he sat. Eye bags slightly visible of how stressed he really was after the news confirmed he was.

A co-worker of his, Kirishima raised his hand in apparent anxiousness. "Um", he coughed into his fist before speaking again. "Well, Bakubro he has been going at it for nearly 2 years. No one even know what he looks like, hell man." Starting to get his voice back he finally said, "We probably don't even know if he is a he !" The rooms tension was held up to a few more minutes before Bakugou just got up and walked out.

Another co-worker of his, Mina sparked up and said, "Where are you going !" Her words fell on deaf ears as he was already gone.

Heavy weighted footsteps of his boots were heard along the agency's hallways as people made sure to step out of his way. Grabbing his stuff most important for his next move being his car keys. His brain hurt of how fucking frustrating it is to be held back from work because of his delinquent boyfriend wants to treat the world as a damn playground. He couldn't take it! The stress and anxiety he kept for 2 years was just high enough for him to fuck one out. And he might just.

Just because those assholes didn't know where to find you, doesn't mean he can't. You were always close to a rundown apartment in an alleyway doctoring up a new firework of your own or anything remotely for distruction.

And there you were. In a damn corner completely unaware of the 6 foot presence behind you. Horny and exhausted was a nasty mix for anyone and Bakugou is a worse case as he grabbed you by your arm turning you around.

Alert entered your mind as you nearly, by a measly hair burnt him with a match you had. Why was here was all you could ask yourself, feeling his dramatic hot pants near your neck.

"Why-" No time for speaking when he was highly eager to ravage your ass. You knew how he was from time time since you've met him and because of this you have gotten the worst and the best of him. Sex and life alone was hot and dangerous between the both of you.

His lips marked yours up with a grunt of his own making it seem as if he was feasting on your chapped ones. The dryness making it sting sweetly only adding to the arousal you now felt for yourself. Kissing him. Him not taking his time as he will easily swallow his food without chewing.

"I'm fucking pissed." He snapped. This version of him was the only version you couldn't take. No type of convincing could make an outsider believe your actions to one another was not non consensual. His slightly bigger form compared to your own was trifling as it was pressed up to your chest.

After minutes of searching eachothers mouths with fever and rush he finally stripped himself from his pants. You caught a rare glimpse of how hard he really was. Now this was irritating you at this point. You were no sore loser, but if someone ever took something from you like candy it would easily be endgame.

"Stop fucking pouting. I just got out of a meeting early", he adjusted his position a bit. "To fuck your meddling ass." He closed the space between you two as his cologne and natural scenticked your senses. A shiver went down your spine like a fresh cold drop of sweat as you backed away into the corner. He followed that and smirked. You couldn't be serious.

"Turn around. I wanna see it." He huffed, impatiently. You obviously did what you were told. No time in making him even more pissed. He admired your obedience when it came to your relationship. Only if you could follow that up in turning yourself in. Sadly you were too prideful, probably why you both have an odd ball bond with eachother.

Like lightning your pants were down just like his as he slapped your ass with a strikingly heavy hand. Watching your arse slightly move was guilty enjoyment of his own.

"Ah !" You covered your mouth quickly in fear of his scolding. Number 1 rule of him when frustrated was that on all accounts. Don't. Fucking. Make. A. Peep. That reminder did not fail to make you turn back with pleading eyes with him looking back at you with pliant disbelief.

"Yer' really trying to fuckin' test me, yeah ?" He asked. Not loud how he usually is, but a lower octave with a nonchalant expression. He was tired. Tired of your prideful denial of going to jail. Tired of these late damn meetings at the agency. Tired of his parents calling him because he was doing this to himself. He was fucking exhausted of it all. His top tier was you especially.

☆

That's completely fine though. He can sex all of this out on his handsome villain boyfriend.

Y/N fucking L/N.

I hope this is fine, again I'm not a dark blog so if I wrote this along with the req it would get a bit dark. { I love dark blogs so it would be a whole series 💀. }

After your post, I thought how many ideas Tik Tok gives.

Naruto.

Shino is so shy and sees all sorts of cute couple videos or videos on how to seduce an alpha. And he wants all this too, but he can't. Use ninjutsu for work no, use it so your shy omega doesn't have to explain anything to you yes.

Kiba sees a video of puppies and children and gets baby fever. Or he does a tik tok with alpha pranks.

Naruto could see different things for the nest and want them. Or see diy and want to repeat them with alpha in order to do something together for his nest.

obey me

Somehow the alpha showed a human tik tok and all the demons got hooked on it.

Beelzebub is my favorite so I think he has seen a lot of food videos and I would have to repeat it all for him to try.

Leviathan would watch anime clips and save the ones he wanted to watch. Separate those that he wanted to see with alpha.

We could send him cute videos with compliments or excerpts from anime and write it with us to make him embarrassed.

I think Asmo himself would run an account with makeup and personal care, sometimes posting a couple challenge.

mystic messenger

Alpha can help Zen start an account with songs, maybe videos from rehearsals. I think this could help him become even more popular.

Yoosung would probably find double games that he wanted to play with the alpha. And I can't stop thinking that he's sending videos to the alpha "send this video to the alpha and let him choose" or all sorts of funny videos while sitting next to him.

I decided to share my thoughts.

I also wanted to thank you for your creativity, I'm about to graduate from university and your blog helps me relax

Yes! I love this! Omegaverse Tiktok headcanons are great XD

Shino - Yes! He sees all these cute relationship challenges and cute date ideas and he really wants to try them, but he won't bring them up because he's embarrassed 🤭 He might make a mini playlist if you ask him to, that way you can watch what he likes without him having to tell you.

Kiba - Kiba is weird when it comes to baby fever, like he doesn't really get it that often?? Because he normally has a newborn or young toddler that shatters any allure that a new one might have haha. Does that makes sense? He has so many babies, he doesn't get baby fever haha. He just wanted a huge family pack and is also terrible with birth control and very fertile. He does however find the parenting life hacks incredibly helpful because fuck does he need them. If Tiktok can give him an activity that will keep all his pups occupied for an afternoon, then he's down for that.

Naruto - Listen, Naruto, if he had access to social media and YouTube and stuff, would learn how to make his nest from them. He didn't have anyone to teach him how, so he loves seeing how other people do it so he can copy and take the bits he likes. He will order weird shit for his nest sometimes though. He acknowledges that some of the stuff is weird, but don't you dare call his ramen pillow weird, because he'll defend it 😤😤

Beel - Yes, he watches food Tiktoks and then eats more than normal, so Lucifer bans him from it.

Levi - He spends so much time on Tiktok, I can't even say. He loves it, but it also triggers his envy when people have better cosplays than him or better anime collections and set ups. So, maybe it's best to limit him sometimes.

Asmo - Easily Devildom Tiktok famous. He loves the app and showing his adoring followers his beauty routines and sex toy collections makes him happy lol.

Zen - Yes, that would be so good for exposure!! He would so go viral singing with his shirt off XD

Yoosung - this made me laugh because Yoosung really would send those 'send this to your alpha' Tiktoks. He eagerly awaits for a reply every time and takes them seriously haha.

Those were great!! Thank you for sharing them with me!!

and oh my gosh!! Congratulations on graduating, that's amazing 🎉🎉 I'm glad I could help you relax, goodness knows students need it XD Have a wonderful day! <3
