#she has a 4 year old why tf was she just putting up with this??

[madrone33]

I have been CHILLING this week post-Vengeance saga release! I managed to avoid debilitating stress and anxiety from the onslaught of fan stuff by simply avoiding all social media for the first two days, so it's been good!

However, I am now BACK, dumping my immediate reaction of the saga from a week ago. I thought I was ready. I was not ready. 600 Strike blew my mind. I was left staring blankly at my ceiling. Jorge please rest sometime, I'm begging you. The amount of talent beaming through my screen is exhausting even me.

Also, to every cast member and collaborator and behind the scenes person: y'all are amazing. Like seriously. I hope you all get a yummy drink and a cozy blanket and just. Bask in the satisfaction of a job well done. Hats off to y'all fr.

Anyways! I keysmashed the following at around midnight, 14 hours before the livestream ('cause australia is the superior timezone /j). Be warned there's LOTS of swearing 'cause sleep deprivation + incoherent excitement lol

AHHH IT'S GO TIME

Ok it's starting the same as the Goodspeed festival showed. Tho, the first lead in sound thing reminds me of Lucids.

Gorgeous vocals. Hate Calypso, love Wangui fr

"Let me speak!" She really doesn't care about his feelings huh. I noticed in LIP as well, she always makes it about her, which is absolutely in character.

Those ensemble harmonies tho!!

"... You do?" Girl you literally told him to lie smh

"Why in the world won't you love me too?" 'Cause he has a WIFE

IT'S HERMES TIME

FSA melody? YO??

"Cause I had one goal in mind..." the silence where the crew's chorus would come in is PAINFUL

BAG?? HERMES!!

"Hello old friend!" Grinning so hard rn

"Well it's a little bit ✨dangerous✨" AHHH IT'S HAPPENING

Fingertapping and headbopping to this chorus

"Put your whole braiin in it!" I love how he says that sm

"And lastly the wind bag" NEW STUFF

WINIONS

Wow ok I did not expect the wind bag to show up again. Tho it makes sense; this is probs the storm that Ody told Sirenelope kept blocking the way home

ODY SINGING THE CHORUS!!!!

RUTHLESSNESS MENTION

"Hermes! Thank you" AHHH THE CALLBACK! He sounds so tired and like down to his bones grateful this time 🥺

"I'm not the one who fought for you!" MY EYES WIDENED SO FAR. WE ALMOST GOT AN ATHENA NAMEDROP. I'll settle for the reference to her

Okeee. Charybdis!!

Oooh it's just like in the reference vid. No lyrics for this start part!

The 5/4 is amazing. And the electric guitar!!

God this song is SO BADASS

LETS GOOOO ODY!!!

ahhh I KNEW there'd be some sort of soft KYFC esque "I can't wait to make some new memories" type verse AND I WAS RIGHT

he sees ithaca!! Oh god poseidon's gonna show up isn't he

my heart's beating so fast i'm scared

PENELOPEEE

the ELECTRONIC DISTORTION OH NO IT'S HIM

RIGHT INTO GET IN THE WATER AHHH

"Coward" AHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE FINALY HEARING THIS FOR REAL

"That's when our paths collide!" THE RASP

"Now get in the water" Oh shiiiit here we go

the choir is so eerie

"GET IN THE WATER" THE GROWL

"aren't you tired poseidon" ooh it's this part!!

ha he changed it to ten years instead of eight like the demo had XD

"maybe you can learn to forgive" the line from that one snippet!

"No" oop

"DIE" DAMN that deep echo!!

*underwater sounds* oh shit ody's fucking dying

NO! FUCKING POLITES

EURY

ANTICLEA

FUCK YOU JORGE

THE CREW

WAITING??? EXCUSE ME WTF

AHHHHHH WHY TF DOES JAY LOVE HURTING US SO

HUH? HUH??? WHAT WAS THAT! AND THERE'S A FUCKING AD. Probs good, I need the break but WAHT. I KNEW he'd do another fucking polites reference gods damnit jorge WHEN I CATCH YOU

Ok time to hear 600 strike. Holy shit we're here

ELECTRIC GUITAR LETS GOOO

Aeolus theme. IS HE GONNA OPEN THE WIND BAG AGAIN??

600 MEN MOTIF HOLY SHIT

ANIME SCREAM

HOly shit there's magic sounds happening. I'm really curious about whatever Jorge's cooking up for the animatic in the livestream, 'cause I have no clue what's happening rn 👀

"For every comrade!" FSA melody!

"all those _ who were slaughtered by your hand" hmm I can't quite hear what he's saying there?

wait wait wait he's ACTUALLY using the power of his 600 men!!

"You idiot" damn lol

DIFFERENT BEAST ODY HOLY SHIT

is that a blade sound effect?

WAIT DID HE JUST STAB HIM WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT

HOLY SHIT ODY

HOLY FUCK

POP OFF ODY

OMG "MONSTER" AND THEN "RUTHLESSNESS"

BRO HE'S BEGGING??

*trident drops* hot damn ody

"Next to my wife." OHHHHHHH MIC DROP

Holy FUCK that was crazy

I'm gonna listen to it again.

Ok but holy shit Odysseus literally just tortured a god until he gave in?? Daym ody

Tho I like how he tries using open arms first, and then ruthlessness. He's kinda found a balance? I say kinda, 'cause he went hard on the ruthlessness, but since he sincerely tried to ask Poseidon to just drop the whole thing already, his later actions in 600 Strike feel more warranted.

I honestly don't know how Jorge keeps doing it. He just keeps topping himself! Like! Thunder Bringer? And then God Games?? And now Six Hundred Strike??? They just keep getting better! Banger after banger, like!! How.

Wait I just wanna. Sit with it. Imma lie down and stare at the ceiling for a bit, aight?

... I am shooketh.

But BRO THAT WAS INSANE! ODY FUCKED HIM UPPP

AMAZING BRAVO EXTRODINARY INCREDIBLE SHOWSTOPPING GORGEOUS WONDERFUL HOW DARE YOU

[marlenesluv]

Hullo, hope you're doing okay. I was wondering if I could request a smau with Carlos.

Y/N is an upcoming but less known film scriptwriter and has a significant age gap from him (6-7 years younger than him). A lot of fans bully cause she's a struggler in Hollywood and not your typical model either. (she doesn't make the effort to look good for Carlos they say)

There is an Oscar winning film but her credit was taken away and fans finally support her (something dramátic like this idkk your choice!!) ty tho <3

Doesn’t Come Easy. (CS)

note: hi, i’m doing well, i hope you are too :) and yes, i love this sm!! i hope you enjoy! (no summary for this, j read the rec lol!)

pairing: carlos sainz x film scriptwriter!reader!fem. carlos is 29 and reader is 22.

It’s about time someone made one of these threads:

Why we don’t like Y/n Y/l/n, Carlos Sainz’s girlfriend..:

|

|

Reason 1: She makes no effort to look good for him or the cameras. The only clothing she wears to the paddock is jeans, sweats, tee’s, and tennis shoes. Other wags give us dresses, skirts, like?? Try harder.

|

|

Reason 2: Y/n and Carlos have a 7 year age gap… This one speaks for itself………

Reason 3: Her job makes no money, shes mooching off Carlos. Being a film scriptwriter is great, if you’re actually good. Which she’s not.

|

|

Reason 4: She makes zero effort to be friends with the other wags. As a girlfriend, you should try and connect with your boyfriends friends girlfriends. She just ignores them on race weekends and it’s rude and lazy.

|

|

Reason 5: Y/n has no career in her field.

F1 Gossip Blog Post:

Goodmorning…I have no entrance for you, because I am shook to the core today. It has been about a year since Carlos Sainz’s girlfriend, Y/n Y/l/n, went to the movie premiere of the movie she wrote.

Today I woke up and saw something that shocked me! Last night, this movie won an Oscar, but Y/n was no where to be found. She didn’t attend the awards and she wasn’t even credited.

The petty “I don’t like her” needs to stop. We need to support her, she’s talented, smart, and yes, beautiful. Us, as fans, don’t know how hers and Carlos’ relationship is. Although I would assume pretty good… (via the recent paparazzi photos, lol)

Her credit being taken away is awful, and shouldn’t be glossed over. Sign the petition at the bottom of this post to support Y/n, and bring attention to the fact that this film happened because of HER!

y/n.user: First off, I want to say thank you to Carlos for being the most patient, loving, and kind boyfriend. I see the “she’s not good enough for him” comments and the hate posts. Carlos doesn’t say anything because I simply don’t want him to. I can’t even count the amount of times I have to tell him to not respond. Judging a relationship you know nothing about is silly.

I also want to say thank you to the other wags for being patient and understanding with me. I do hangout with them, I just keep that private. Not everything needs to be aired out on social media.

A huge thank you to fans of Carlos’ that have supported me and my journey with this film. I appreciate all the kind messages throughout the process of writing and even now with the Oscars.

Thank you to my family and friends, for supporting me from when I was a little girl watching movies and pretending I was in said movie for a week straight, writing alternate endings and embarrassing you at theaters.

There’s nothing that can be done about what happened with my credit for the movie at the Oscars. It’s unfortunate, but true.

Oh, also, Carlos and I got a puppy. His name is Calvin, that’s all.

Katsuki Bakugo Fluff Oneshot

I've had this bouncing around in my brain for a few days and just needed to get it down :) This is lowk based off of my life so I apologize since its a niche situation. But enjoy some Bk fluff and lmk if you want another part to this!

Katsuki x Reader

2.3k words

Most days you wake up, go to class, study, and train late into the night. You are a busy person, with many priorities, but this didn’t stop you from making many friends. You got particularly close to Mina and Sero, and along with that the rest of the bakusquad- besides Bakugo himself of course. You had tried many times to befriend him but to no avail. You decided to give up since you were already a part of his friend group. 

You tried your best to make time for your friends but most weeks you wouldn’t join the nightly hangouts. On any days off you went home to help your mom, only Mina truly knew why you were never in the dorms. 

-

“Alright class, today we are-” Aizawa started his long speech about your new upcoming project. You start to zone out, but quickly focus again to get the project details, jotting down any important notes you might need. 

“I am going to randomly assign partners for this, please do not ask to change because there will be no exceptions this time.” Mr. Aizawa says in his regular monotone voice. 

He starts to list off the groups and eventually says your name. “Y/n and Bakugo” 

“Not that fucking nerd!!” Bakugo yells slamming his fist onto his desk.

“Shut it Bakugo,” Mr. Aizawa says activating his quirk on the rowdy student. 

The rest of the day went by normally, you finished classes and began packing your stuff to study and train. 

Around 1 am you get a text.

Bakugo

“Where are you dipshit”

Y/n

“Training, why?”

Bakugo

“Tf you training so late for, gts”

Y/n

“Dude leave me alone, what do you want”

Bakugo

“Friday at 11 am common room”

Y/n

“The project?” 

He likes the message and the conversation ends. You look at the time and realize you should be going to bed soon, you do a few more reps before heading back to the dorm. 

It's a cool night, as you walk a chill runs up your spine from the cold. You shake it off and continue to your dorms. As quietly as you can, you open the door and make your way to your room. You fall asleep to the crickets and cicadas chirping outside your window. 

The week goes by quickly as the weekend approaches. You completely forgot about having Friday off, but Mina reminded you on Thursday to text your mom to remind her. 

What everyone in the class doesn’t know is that your mom moved with you when you came abroad to study at UA. She and your little sister rent a small house not too far from campus. Your step-father refused to move with them, so on any days you have off you go home to watch your 2-year-old sister while your mom works. The only person who knows about this arrangement is your best friend Mina. She covers for you whenever you are there. 

- 

You wake up to the loud beeping of your alarm, as you look at it to shut it off it displays “4:30 am”. You groan and move to get up. Your mom starts work at 6 on the days you have off so you have to get to the house early so your sister isn’t home alone. 

You grab your prepacked bag and school backpack and start your walk home. The sunrise is barely a sliver when you get there. 

As you take care of your sister throughout the day, coloring, watching movies, and playing dress-up, it doesn’t matter what you do as long as she’s happy. Once you put her down for her nap, you throw yourself onto the couch half asleep. Then your phone starts going off over and over. You grumble something about a group chat and open your phone to see it’s Bakugo. 

Bakugo

“Where are you dipshit”

“If you aren’t here in the next 3 minutes I’m blowing your ass up in your dorm”

“Why aren’t you in your dorm”

“ANSWER ME”

Bakugo has requested your location. 

“Oh boy” You mumble to yourself

Y/n

“Chill dude, I’m sorry I forgot we were supposed to work on the project today, can we do it Monday?”

Bakugo

“NO, dumbass it's fucking due Monday”

“Where are you, answer the fucking phone now”

Y/n

“I can’t answer the phone rn”

Bakugo

“Well then SEND ME UR FUCKING LOCATION”

Y/n

“Will u chill tf out if I do?”

Bakugo likes the message.

Y/n started sharing their location with Bakugo

You huff and turn your phone off falling asleep on the couch. Not long after you wake up to three aggressive knocks on your front door. Knowing Bakugo you jump up to stop him from knocking more and waking your sister. 

“Chill tf out, I’m right here,” You say as you open the door. Bakugo pushes past you walking into your house and turning to look at you. 

“You are so fucking useless, we were supposed to have this project done today! I fucking should’ve done it myself” He says with his fingers on the bridge of his nose. 

“Look, I’m sorry but Aizawa would know if you pulled that shit AGAIN” 

“YOU FUCKING RATTED-”

You slam your palm on his mouth as he begins to yell. Shock is written across his face when he suddenly pushes you off him. 

“What the fuck” He spits at you.

“You have to be fucking quiet dipshit” You whisper.

“Why wou-” He gets interrupted by your sister crying and running to you. 

You pick her up gently and start to soothe her from her startling wake call as you glare daggers at Bakugo. He stands there in complete shock, this time not hiding it at all. You nod your head in the direction of your dining table and say, “Go set up there, we can work on it now.”

He doesn’t say a word while he gets his stuff out and sets up. You put your sister down to start making some lunch for her. 

“Did you eat?” You ask not looking at him.

“What?” He asks snapping back to reality.

“Did you eat lunch?”

“Oh um no”

“Ok,” You say, silently making another serving more. 

As you continue to cook and Bakugo silently sits there trying to think of what to say, he blurts out. 

“So, who’s the father?”

You turn around from the stove and stare at him blankly for a second processing what he asked, then you see how serious his face is. You burst out laughing- “BAHAHAHA, WAIT,” you say wiping a tear forming in your eye from laughter. Bakugo glares at you to stop laughing. After you take a second to compose yourself you answer, “Bakugo, meet my sister, y/s/n.” You say as y/s/n goes up to Bakugo and hugs him. He has a horrified look on his face realizing what he just asked you. 

He tries to jump away and get her off unsuccessfully. He accepts his fate and allows her to hug his leg. 

The next few hours went by awkwardly, you served lunch and while your sister was busy eating you spent your time working on the project, allowing Bakugo to have a break and eat too. But as soon as your sister was done you were up and taking care of her again. 

Hours go by and you realize you have to figure out dinner. 

“Fuck” You whisper so your sister can’t hear. “What do you want for dinner Bakugo?” You ask from your sister’s makeshift playroom in the living room. 

“I don’t know, don’t care.”

You look at him exasperated as you sigh and ask your sister.

“PIZZA!!!” Your sister says excitedly. You pick her up and gently whisper how you can’t afford to order pizza right now, and how you can make her something at home. She begins to sulk and goes back to her toys. You get up walk to the table and look at Bakugo to ask again. 

“Wha-” You begin.

“I already ordered it.” He says not looking up from his notes.

“What?” You ask baffled.

“The pizza, I already ordered it.”

“Oh, you didn’t have to do that, seriously.” 

“It's fine. She said she wanted pizza.”

“Okay, how much was it so I can pay you back.” You ask getting your wallet out.

“No.” He says not sparing you a look.

“What?” You ask again. 

“I said no. Don’t worry about it.” 

“Oh, okay, well thank you.”

Once the pizza arrives you all sit down to eat, but once again you don’t eat so you can work on the project. As you sit at your laptop across from Bakugo eating his pizza, your laptop suddenly shuts. 

“Wha- What the fuck man?!” You half-yell at Bakugo. 

“You haven’t eaten all day, so eat the pizza and then I’ll watch your sister so you can work.” 

“But-”

“No. I said what I said.” He stares at you, silently telling you that you won’t win any argument with him. 

He kept true to his word, he took care of your sister while you worked efficiently on your project. Around 11:30 you come back to reality and close your laptop, realizing that you should have put your sister to bed long ago. You walk into the living room to see Bakugo and y/s/n on the couch watching her favorite movie, Totoro. Y/s/n being asleep on Bakugo you decide to sit on the other side of him and continue the movie. 

“Everything is done, we just need to make the slides and practice.” You whisper. 

“Alright cool, that should be easy.” He says continuing to watch the movie. 

You look over and admire how calm he is. His arm wrapped around your sister, her head in his lap fast asleep. You had to admit, he was great with kids. While you were working he was playing dress up with her, you managed to snap a few photos of him with a tiara on before he noticed. He was so sweet and gentle with her all day, the opposite of his regular personality. He didn't call her a brat even once, not even one time?!?

He notices you staring and looks over, “What?” He says annoyed. 

“Nothing,” You say silent for a few seconds, “Just- thank you for today.” 

He lets out a scoff, showing you he was listening.

“Is this where you disappear every night?” He asks.

“What? Oh. no, I actually do train every night since I’m here on the weekends. I usually get up at 4:30 and either stay here or go back at 2 am.” You answer. 

“You do this only on two and a half hours of sleep?” He asks with confusion and shock hinting in his voice. 

“Yeah, I don’t have much of a choice. No one else can watch her.” 

The conversation fades as you both focus back on the movie. Eventually leading to you falling asleep on him as well. 

Bakugo sits there on your couch, with your sister asleep in his lap and you asleep on his shoulder. He quietly watches the movie until your mom returns from work. She opens the door and hears the T.V. on, so she goes to the living room to check and she sees all of you there. Bakugo’s head swings at the noise and sees her. 

“Oh my, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to startle you. I didn’t know y/n had her boyfriend over!” She says quietly moving to sit on the adjacent couch. 

“Oh- um, I’m not-” He starts.

“Here let me move her to bed, they both sleep like rocks don’t worry.” She says with a wink, picking up your sister and taking her to her bed. She returns to see Bakugo hasn’t moved with you still asleep on him. 

“How long have you been here? I’m so sorry for any trouble they’ve caused.” Your mom laughs.

“I got here around noon. Me and y/n were supposed to work on a school project but she forgot so I came over to work on it.” He starts

“Oh! I’m so sorry about that dear.” 

“It's okay.”

“So how long have you two been together?” She asks excitedly. 

“We aren’t dating,” Bakugo says quietly still trying to not wake you up. 

“Really? Huh, I swear I’ve heard y/n talk about you before.” A light shade of pink finds its way to Bakugo’s cheeks.

“Well, thank you for helping take care of my girls, I really appreciate it. You should stay here tonight, it's too late for you to go back to school. Y/n’s room is there and there are blankets in the closet.” Your mom says getting up to go to bed. “And thank you again Katsuki Bakugo.” She finally says before disappearing into her room. 

Bakugo tightens up at the sound of his full name, knowing well that means y/n has talked about him enough for her mom to know who he is. 

He decides to stay on the couch, not wanting to disturb your peace. He pulls a blanket on the both of you and shuts his eyes. He thinks about all the times he couldn’t spot you at parties or hangouts. Or how you would vanish off the face of the earth on weekends. It all made sense now, you were working yourself to the bone to take care of your family. 

Bakugo always had a soft spot for you, which is why everyone would always make you ask him to hang out with them, even if you weren’t going to be there. He never knew why he was murder-y with you but it scared him so he pushed you away even more. Hence you trying to be friends with him but ‘failing’. 

But now he’s here, lying on your couch with you on top of him asleep, coming to the realization that maybe his soft spot for you isn’t all that bad.

Ahhh my Christmas break is short this year, but I really hope I get to spend a lot of it writing, rather than doing the endless dance of "family shows up to remind each other why we were separated for the rest of the year".

I do have a couple fics in the works, but this is where I'm at with a quite old one I would (ideally but who tf knows) like to update. I guess this is spoilers for the hypothetical beginning to chapter 4 of The Soul Mate Phenomenon, if you were ever reading that. (Like 5 years ago when I updated it last lol.)

---------

It takes Sakura a long time to sort out her own feelings, following her fight with Ino. At first it’s put on hold because the fight between Rock Lee and Gaara is terrifying—not, she thinks, in its finesse, but absolutely in its sheer power. She knows that she will never, personally, be capable of throwing that kind of pure power around. The strength of her muscles alone is never going to break the arena. She’s never going to have the kind of chakra that bleeds through the whole world in a wash of killing intent, that blankets everything with a hurt, grimy film.

Lee is more powerful than she had suspected, but, horrifyingly, Gaara rises to meet him at each new opportunity. The sounds of heaving, noisy breaths and tearing rock fill the room. Even Orochimaru, thinly disguised across the way, seems captivated by the spectacle: his eyes are narrowed and when she glances that way once, the pointed tip of his tongue is caught between his teeth.

It makes Sakura reflect on her own fights with a feeling that’s almost disdain—traps, and tricks, and planning, and a little low-ranked genjutsu. Nothing she could do matches this. Nothing even comes close.

She catches herself thinking back to Wave again, back to Haku and Zabuza, even as her eyes linger on Gaara’s sickly-pale, trembling fingers and the rise and fall of Rock Lee’s chest with his laboured breathing.

Haku was a monster. And Naruto, really—and Sasuke-kun, too, with his blood-red eyes, adapting rapidly under pressure, and Zabuza and Kakashi. All of them, repositories of overwhelming power.

Sakura is suddenly not sure if she really deserves to progress through this exam. Perhaps she was meant to lose. Again, she feels like everyone is thinking of her with disappointment and disdain, even though she knows they are watching the fight.

That thought is washed away in an icy rush once Lee collapses. It’s a terrible thing, his young strong body crumpling even as Gaara, across the ruined arena floor, tries to keep himself together. He’s having mixed success.

The whole arena reeks of iron and rust.

Sakura has no medical background, but she knows with only a glance that Rock Lee’s physical body is damaged badly—maybe even beyond recovery.

It’s the last fight of the preliminary exams. That is probably fortunate because the arena is about forty per cent debris at this point.

At the end, the winners are all required to come down to the floor again and draw their match ups for the third and final part of the exam: a real tournament. Unlike the elimination round they just went through, this one will go on for multiple rounds, until someone is declared the winner.

Sakura is busy contemplating that while she draws. Winning can’t be the end goal, because they surely want to promote more than one person from this whole big, expensive event. It’s not like chuunin are particularly rare in the village, either. So they’re not just looking for a winner—they’re looking for something else, too.

When she draws Uchiha Sasuke, it’s startlingly mundane.

These types of jobs are there specifically to CREATE disabled people and then keep them out of the job market.

Why do you think they're so badly paid? To keep young people, people of color etc from making any real money

Why do you think "retail" doesn't count as "real job experience" in most markets?

To keep those same people from obtaining a better job later in life when they've gotten older and wiser

And why do they keep you on your feet from early morning to late night?

To ruin your body and force you to not have as much value even if you do enter some other portion of the job market later.

A black 30 year old woman is entering banking at the same time as a white 20 year old man?

Her 12 years standing on her feet have given her back pain and she has a short temper from dealing with idiot customers

By contrast he looks so much nicer and friendlier and is always willing to help

Now the manager is wondering "why did I even hire her, she's so mean, and lazy too cuz she's always sitting down"

Oh and that's if she ever makes it to the bank in the first place. To get back to the point, the real goal is that she gets some sort of illness or injury that forces her into some ridiculous care facility where some greedy person on the phone or member of her family or even someone sent to care for her will rip whatever money she has out of her pocket until she dies.

THAT is why I agree with @thickness-protection-program that most jobs should be illegal. At least the way they're set up now. It's plain dead ass

Slavery

And because I always want to end these things on a positive note, here's how you fix it. Cuz you can't exactly end retail as a business.

1. Lower rent prices for retail spaces. The cost of doing business is half the reason these stores can't afford to pay their people

2. Same with energy pricing. These energy companies know damn well they have price structures that gouge poorer areas. If you're in that department for one of those companies, spend the next few years gradually eliminating whatever difference there is in your pricing and for that matter lower the prices for everybody. You may not be able to cap your bosses salary but you can make it where the company doesn't have quite as much to give away

3. Cap corporate salaries. If the store doesn't have any money to pay a retail worker, how tf is the CEO making half a billion a year?

4. Sabotage. Tactical incompetence. This is where the retail workers themselves can join in the fun. Take a little too long. Show up on time but take every second of your breaks and maybe tie your shoe or fail to find that item that's just a little too hard to find. Be as kind as you can to the customer though. Make them fall in love with you, but not spend any money at the store. Now you're putting a cap on the CEO's salary as well.

5. More sabotage. Give a courtesy flush every time you're in the bathroom. Keeps the bathroom cleaner. Wash your hands like it's covid times. 20 FULL seconds every single time. Install enough lighting that you can actually see where you're going and work more safely.

Make sure to practice proper lifting techniques and weigh items before you lift them. That box is 51 pounds and you're at the store by yourself? Looks like it's staying RIGHT tf where it is until there can be two people at the store at the same time. That is a government mandate and if they try to force you to do it, get it in writing.

Watch that store shut tf down. But the nice thing is, it'll take SO long that you'll hopefully have time to find a new job. And you'll have clean hands and not get sick or injured, which is just good for you, the worker.

6. If you're sick, call in sick. Make sure the rest of the workers around you do too. Yes even the ones you don't like.

7. If you do get a new job, go WAY above and beyond for the first 6 weeks and then taper down to your normal work pace. Nobody will be able to call you lazy EVER and you'll kick the shit out of anybody they hire who is just doing the bare minimum. The job will start to develop the assumption that people like you are harder working and will start to doubt the status quo

Most people aren't evil. People are just used to what they're used to. Even if what they're used to is evil. If you force them to change what they think in a more positive way, they WON'T be able to be comfortable with their normal assumptions any longer and they will be FORCED to tear down the existing systems and rebuild them into something that works way better based on the reality that we all have value

Ngl I think most jobs should be illegal

intermediate band

jite was playing the timpani and he had one of them backwards so the tuner was facing away from him. alex got really mad about that so he asked jite to turn it around so he could actually tune it. jite said no because he didn't play it. alex said yeah but you can still have it facing the correct way so SOMEONE can play it. jite said no because it was broken. alex asked how tf it was broken. jite said it wasn't tuned. me and alex exchange a look. i see the "bruh" in his eyes. "bro are u like stupid..." he asks jite. jite replies "i can't play it because it isn't tuned and it's slanted the wrong way. you're stupid!" alex's patience has lasted this long and now it's ran out 💀 "IT'S SLANTED THE WRONG WAY BECAUSE IT'S FACING THE WRONG WAY. IT'S NOT TUNED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TUNE IT IF IT'S NOT FACING YOU!!!!!!!" he screams. jite goes into the storage closet to find something to fix it 💀... "i'm just gonna..." alex starts saying, walking over to the timpani. he spins it around real quick but jite turns around the second he does that. this makes jite mad and he runs out of the closet and takes a fucking SWING AT ALEX'S FACE... alex slaps his hand away and keeps yelling at him. jite takes another swing and alex starts BARKING AT HIM. AND NOW THEY'RE BARKING AT EACH OTHER... i look at austin who's by the marimba and tap out S.O.S. in morse code referencing a moment from last year when he tapped out S.O.S. after our old band teacher made us take a test the entire period. he smiles and we turn back to watch the argument unfold. the bell has already rang and i need to pack up my 1289370981752734018327234 percussion instruments i play for our songs. alex has assembled his whole gang of friends and they're yelling at jite. alex calls jite RACIST for "invalidating the opinion of a white person" i think both alex and jite are morons 💀...

science

in science kyndall and i are joking around when we go dead silent. SOMEONE is whistling the meow meow meow meow song. we look around to find who did it but we can't locate them. we hear it again and whip our heads to the left. it's chase!!!!!! bro winks at us 💀 but then we hear it AGAIN, and it's filipo singing it. we hear it again from the other side of the room and it's harrison. but we still don't know who's whistling it. then we hear it. it's adam 😭

history

veronika and i ask mrs. johnson if we can go to the hallway to "focus" better. when we go out we hear the introductory choir singing their songs and we wave to them. eventually we see miles, the kid we always cheer for whenever we see and we totally freaked. we started dancing and made an entire choreography to their singing. veronika gets on the ground and starts to crab walk around and i join her. we line up in the middle of the hallway and decide to have a crab walk race to mr. mckean's from. that's when a sixth grader with a weird half bowl cut walks up, takes one terrified look at us, and descends the stairs again. we tell him that it's ok and ask if he wants to join the race. "heck yeah i do!" he smiles. he goes to his locker and drops his stuff off inside and gets into crab walk position next to us. we all yell 3, 2, 1, go as loud as we can all in unison. that's when another sixth grader turns into our hallway and looks at us. we halt what we're doing and stare at him. "nah man what the hell is this school..." he asks to the air. we can't stop laughing as we invite him to join us. "y'know.. why not?" he unlocks his locker to put his stuff away and lines his hands up with ours. now we're starting for real. we start scrambling towards mr. mckean's door. cayden is in the lead, corbin is in second, veronika is in 3rd, and i'm in 4th. we're cracking up when mrs. johnson comes out because she hears all the commotion and gives us a very disappointed look. "ok guys, NO, what even is this??" she asks. "what classes are you guys in?" she asks turning to the sixth graders. "don't make them late to their class, i sent you out here to focus..." she says turning to us. we get up, our race never completed. corbin gets his stuff back and waves goodbye to us, smiling as he walks down the stairs. cayden gets his stuff and sits across from us. "i only have like 2 minutes left of lunch so i'll just stay up here with you guys," he says. we joke around, laughing so hard we can't breathe. veronika asks if she can have some of my water and i say sure but ask if i can just pour it into her mouth instead of her drinking it because i'm a germaphobe. she says sure but asks if i can just pour it into her hands instead. she cups them and looks at me. "sure.....??"" i say. "uh oh!" cayden laughs. i pour the rest of my water into her hands and she sips it super quick. most of it falls onto the ground. "nah... y'all are crazy!" cayden exclaims. "well, i gotta go now, cya!" veronika stops him. "WAIT! besties for life?" he cracks a smile, "besties for life." we share a triple fist bump and go our different ways. it's time for us to go to lunch, so we do. i sit with miracle and veronika and we just chill. when we head back to history we go back into the hallway and start playing games on our computers. that's when we hear the choir kids singing jingle bells. we get up, start dancing, and sing along with them. they notice and all bunch up at the door. we're all dancing and waving our hands and screaming jingle bells at the tops of our lungs while mr. steve-o encourages us to sing louder. this goes on for like 10 minutes until mrs. johnson comes out and tells us to go back inside the classroom 😭

[theasylumchild]

Watched seasons 1-3 of the umbrella academy all in one day at 1.5x speed to get caught up for season 4….

And season 4 sucked. They had already dropped the ball for season 3, but season 4 was just bad. To avoid spoilers I’m putting the rest under the cut

Why did they have that mini romance with Five and Lila??? Yeah I get they were together for seven years trying to find a way back to their family and of course feelings could have come up while they were alone that whole time, but Lila was SO ready to go back when she found out Five had found a way. No hesitation. Yeah it was framed as she was going back to her kids, but if she actually had feelings for Five I feel like there would be a bit of hesitation. Then it seemed like she picked Diego in the end with little to no care for Five.

But also their relationship is so iffy cause the actors are 20 and 35 (talk all you want about age gaps being ok, I’m one of those people, but you have to admit a 20 yo and a 35 yo are at WILDLY different stages. Idc if they’re both actors on the same show, maturity wise they are very different. And it puts pressure on Aiden Gallagher. Was he actually okay with this? Did he have a way to say no to the writers if he was uncomfortable with this? You know we’d be making a stink if it was a 20 yo girl cast when she was 15 who now gets in a relationship with a 35 yo man) And the characters themselves are like 58 and 29. PLUS, obviously the actor playing Five has aged in the years that the show has gone on, but canonically, he’s in the body of his 13 year old self at the beginning of season 1. Seasons 1 and 3 happen within a month, so at best Five is 19 from the six years in season 4. Sure, you could argue he’s 26 now cause of the 7 years he and Lila were in the subway, but… idk I’m not liking it

Last thing about the Lila and Five story line: THEIR PLAN DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE! Why were they going BACK to the original timeline, to then travel BACK IN TIME to stop Ben and Jennifer from touching. All that would have changed, at best, was that Reginald didn’t kill the two of them that night, but that wouldn’t have stopped Viktor from blowing up the moon in that timeline NOR would it stop any of the shit from the current timeline they’re in. In Five can just time travel no problem with no repercussions, why not do that in the timeline they’re currently in? Also, how did they spend seven years in the subway but no time passed in the current world. I’m assuming they time travel back after they get to the right timeline, but we’re not shown any of that. (and if they did end up 7 years in the future, wouldn’t they have seen that the world ended?)

Then they left Claire and Diego/Lila’s kids to go to another time line… which should have fucked everything up! They say they fixed it and now there’s just one timeline, so either there was no point in trying to save the kids and the ones we see in the finale are not the ones we’ve gotten to know, or they’ve created another paradox which would make this timeline collapse

AND don’t these kids now fall victim to the grandfather paradox that they tried to fight in season 3?

AND AND, where tf is Sloane? You know, Luther’s wife? I know she disappeared at the end of season 3, but what’s the reasoning behind that??? Why did Sloane stop existing, but everyone else was fine? I would have bought it if Ben didn’t exist either but the other siblings did seeing as Ben and Sloane were from the same timeline, but Ben’s fine.

Why bring Ray back at the end of season 3 only to throw him away in season 4 with a line about him leaving Allison at some point? I genuinely think it would have in character for him to leave after finding out what she did to make him her husband in the present day rather than letting him live out his life in the past, but I wish we had seen that development on camera.

Why did Klaus need to get separated from his family for a good chunk of the season just so we could watch him get pimped out? Why did he immediately try to go back to drugs if we didn’t see ANY of the torment he used to face from the ghosts which pushed him to his addiction in the first place? The only ghost we see is the damn dog days after he gets his powers back. I did love that one scene where he lets his old self come back and is a total dick to Claire cause that’s what addiction does to people, but I wish we had explored that dynamic more.

Other quibbles I have with the season: Why did we waste so much time with Gene and Jean?. What the fuck was Reginald’s wife’s motivation? They try and explain it, but it makes no sense for her to have set this whole thing in motion. Why are she and Reginald aliens? What bearing did that have on this?

And finally: Why did all the siblings spend three seasons trying to overcome their abusive upbringing and making themselves better people, spend 6 years learning to live with their loss of powers and inevitable mediocrity for the good of the world… only to essentially kill themselves at the end? We get to see all of these people who are objectively WAY worse than at least some of the siblings (the Swedish brothers, the handler, other commission members) living their best life now that the siblings are dead. Why? WHY???? Why do they get to have a happy ending and not the characters we’ve been following?

Day 7(4/14/24)

uhhh- when the hell did Iast write in this shit? I deadass don't know, ok anyways... A LOT has happened these past couple of months so let's begin shall we.

Let's start with the highs:

Me and Van/Vanni have been dating for about 9 months now and I don't regret a single moment of it at all. The reason why I put Van is because he's Genderfuild and he's feeling like a femboy currently so I'm calling him Van for right now. Ever since I met Van I've never been more madly in love with someone my entire life... Van maintained that perfectness inside of him, he's just so beautiful and cute he's just oh my god... He's so amazing... I couldn't have asked for a better partner than him.. I love him so much... Thank you God for answering our prayers and having us be together. We're gonna be reaching 10 on the 29th and guess what... I wouldn't change a thing at all.... I just wish we can be together irl.... But God I know you'll make that happen... And guess what once that day comes I'm never letting Van go. His regression just makes him cuter... Every time he's in a mindset of a toddler or just a wittle baby boy or girl he just get so much cuter... And I love taking care of him*smiles* it's like I'm actually taking care of a wittle baby hehehe... And the fact he has a Paci named Nunu as well bro... Jesus Christ... That's literally a perfect name for a Paci... Jesus Christ I love this boy to fucking death he's just perfect... Van Van if you're reading this I love you so much, and I always will.. more than anything on this entire planet with all my heart

The Rp: I love it. I wouldn't change a thing about

Van Van and the RP are the only positive things that happened... now onto the negatives and there are A LOT!

College: I'm stressed TF out rn and my friend group is fucking annoying. They're so annoying to the point where I don't even talk to them outside at school. Like bro deadass it's always "Yo Bro where you at", or "Jordie what's the answer to this or Jordie I need help or Jordie blah blah blah" Nadia with all do respect shut the fuck up and go meat ride your fat ass on someone's dick that isn't m- oh wait a minute at least I know how to pull a guy(Van) if I wanted too. Thank god I have Van/Vanni I don't want that disgusting pig of a bitch and Van/Vanni is the only girl/guy I WANT. Atp I should literally suggest she goes into a pig pen and fuck all of the pigs inside of it.

Don't even get me started on Juan Pablo bro. Nigga is deadass annoying and doesn't know how or WHEN to SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP. And how tf do you let yourself nearly get groomed by a 30 year old man on Grindr. In fact why the hell do you have it TOO BEGIN WITH!? It literally took Sley to intervene and shit before you actually did something you regret and you even lied about your age... you told the man you were 18!?!!!! What the actual fuck is wrong with your retarded ass JP. WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING DO THAT!!?? Jordie calm down it's fine y'all talked about it and that's ok he knows not to do that shit now. I know I know, but I don't want him to get groomed let alone get fucking robbed or killed cause of a cat fish. I know how it feels to be groomed

Sley and Neha are ok tho, but I barely see them. Oh well

Stressing me tf out. I already missed mad classes this semester and I be in the library during those days lol but the grind is gonna be worth it. Cause imma get my degree, move in with Van, get a high paying job, and start a family with him. Jesus college is such a pain in the ass, but hey at least there's that story we have to do the for the essay. Remember the first day me and Van Rp'd I'm gonna do that, but we introduced Will earlier and she kidnapped Vanni and held her hostage. Imma need Gabe so I'm bringing his ass back from the dead so that's Lovely ASF.

What's crazy is that I still here about that stupid ass piece of shit Krisy a lot from Paola. When we do talk that is it's like once or twice every 3 weeks. She fills me in on what's going on and shit and how Brayden and Kris keeps Harrison her. It's like Brayden I get she cheated, but dude you pushed her to that point. You were a serious piece of shit towards her and she felt so unhappy in that relationship. Can I be honest here, they are ALL in the wrong... Paola SHOULDN'T had cheated with Brayden and she should have just told him he lost feelings for her and shit instead of being so secretive around him. Ax from the rp said it himself.. "cheating is the unforgivable sin" and me and Van have been cheated on before. But hey at least Krisy cheating on me got me Van in the first place LOL SMD KRISY!!!

But yea they all in the wrong, Brayden shouldn't had escalated this leaking all of Paolas nudes and shit... nigga is in possession of CP... Her Nudes are LITERAL CHILD PORN! And Brayden is a minor too mind you... so theoretically They all get in trouble. Krisy had the AUDACITY to take Brayden side, but she's a hypocrite cause... Again she's a cheating scumbag... And not to mention Paola had gotten doxxed too and she COULD have stopped it but didn't so now she has to face the same punishment LOL. It's a bunch of retarded shit but hey at least IM not involved.

Wait its 2:19 AM.. I should be sleeping 😭😭 WTF!!??? Alright lemme check on the server rq to see if anyone new joined ok nope. Okay going nini now. Nini!!

[superpyodan]

Kenny & Cringefail headcanons (? lol)

@clarisinne I fear this is too large for the askbox so... I'm just putting it in a post.

(To my readers - Potential (very mild) Shades of Green spoilers…? Just about Kenny as a character. You’ve been warned)

OK SO. Kenny + CF friendship ramblings because I think about this way too much. AU where Cringefail moves to PT… 4 or so years after Kenny does, & they’re both like ‘’wtf? your grandpa is dead and left you a farm? bro, ME TOO?!’’

Unfortunately I have to remove CFSister from the picture because I have Haley and Abby together and I CANNOT break them up. LOL. Or they can be poly or something idfk ToT

Little bit of info about Kenny before we start:

By this point, Kenny will have been in a relationship with Alex for a year and a bit

He will be around 26 years old

It took Kenny and Alex OVER A YEAR to make it official with each other, for various reasons

Kenny’s a bit of a chronic overthinker - Very anxious guy when it comes to relationships of all kinds because he has a hard time expressing vulnerability and talking about his feelings.

He’s been called ‘’too polite’’ and a ‘’nice guy’’ MANY TIMES because he was like, super careful with Alex at the start. He’s bad at talking, but was TERRIFIED that he’d overstep Alex’s boundaries (because in Kenny’s story, Kenny is Alex’s first real partner)

Uhhh also, probs not mega important but he doesn’t have that much of a relationship with Harvey because he feels weird about medical settings

SO. Kenny and Cringefail become friends, and Kenny has to witness Cringefail’s relentless pining and general messy behaviour the whole time. She reminds him of himself, but just… Fierier? Like, when Kenny was pursuing Alex, he was just as much of a nervous wreck, but he managed to keep it INSIDE. He keeps everything INSIDE, which as we know, Cringefail is really bad at T_T

So Cringefail’s like, Okay. Kenny managed to bag Alex and he isn’t from Pelican Town, so I can do it too. I’m sure. But before she knows Alex and Kenny’s ~ story ~ she’s kinda jealous of them? Like, how TF is everything so easy for Kenny? She witnesses Alex & Kenny being happy and in love, and she’s like BRO. HOW DOES HE DO IT?? HOW CAN HE BE NORMAL?? WHY CAN’T I BE NORMAL ABOUT HARVEY??

So eventually one day she’s like ‘’Kenny, bro, how tf did you do it? How is it so easy for you?’’

And Kenny’s like … blinks ….. ‘’Hey, so, uh, what the fuck are you talking about?’’ because it was NOTTTTT easy for him and Alex! It took them a YEAR! A whole ass year!!

So Cringefail is like ‘’…? I’ve been watching you guys like a hawk and you’re so… Normal… around each other. Sometimes I have to remind myself that you’re actually boyfriends. Like how does that even happen. How do you do that.’’ and Kenny finds it fucking HILARIOUS. Because that is simply not the case at all. Not only was the start of his & Alex’s relationship a MESS, he also does not feel any kind of way that could be considered ‘’normal’’ about Alex. Like, he’s totally obsessed with Alex & is losing his actual mind on a daily basis in regards to him, and has been for years at this point.

So Kenny tells Cringefail this. Sits her down and explains the whole thing from the start to the present day. Cringefail, obviously, goes :o HUHHHHHHHHHH. And Kenny’s like ‘’Yeah bro I’m just good at keeping it inside. You should try it sometime.’’

(Side note that Kenny's tendency to keep himself to himself has actually been pretty detrimental for him in a multitude of ways. But by this point he's like, happier, in a better place, whatever. He's not actually ''good'' at keeping it inside, he's just hard-wired to be that way. Which I guess is like, the exact opposite of whatever cringefail's got going on LMAO. Apart from her inability to talk about her romantic feelings, which for Kenny is like, same.)

From that moment on, they have a bond based upon ‘’being stupid idiot losers who can’t be normal about anything’’. Cringefail goes to Kenny for Harvey advice, and in general just tells him EVERYTHING about her & Harvey. Down to the times they’ve so much as LOOKED at each other. And Kenny loves it, because like, bro… This girl is just like him for real! They’re yin and yang! Cringefail pulls the lovesick loser out of Kenny, and Kenny manages to balance out Cringefail’s insanity. They create a nice balance together, yk?

I also feel like they'd totally bully the shit out of each other but LOVINGLY. They're just as messy as each other and totally make fun of each other for it.

Anyway uhh I could keep going but this is so long already. But yes. Kenny and Cringefail. I will continue thinking about this for the rest of my life, I fear.

Pelican Town’s Most Emotionally Repressed Farmers

once again thinking about Kenny and Cringefail being friends… ouuughhhhh….. <3 them being friends is canon to ME!

(Kenny’s looking at Alex, OBVS. They’re at the egg hunt or something, idk)

What he needs to understand

About: Zhongli was about to go to work when you suddenly throw a tantrum at him, forcing him to stay.

Pairings: Dad!Zhongli x GN!Child!reader

Tags/Warnings: Family Dynamics, father-child dynamics, gender neutral reader, Fluff.

A/N: Another Zhongli and his child fluff. Idk how tf i write this in between his smut fic, and somehow i finished this at 4 am in the morning.

Zhongli had fostered many children under his care throughout his years of living, growing them into an adult that will benefit Liyue. And so, he really was thought it will no different from raising you, his biological child, and yet it turns out to be way more, and more difficult, to raise his own child than foster children as he did back then.

It was a fine morning in Liyue Harbor. Zhongli, a Consultant from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, already prepared to go to work. On the dining table there's food ready to eat, but not for him, It's for his child who apparently just wake up when he was about to leave. You opened the door to the dining room, still sleepy, only to find your father already done wearing his shoes.

"Good morning, dear. Breakfast is ready, you should eat first, Ms.Lianyi will come shortly after" He notices your presence and smiles warmly, but there seems to be something with you because he also noticed your sour expression.

"My dear, is there something wrong?, Are you sick?" He asks worriedly, he immediately took off his shoes again to approach you.

"Why didn't you wake me up before you had breakfast, daddy?" You pout at him, your little dragon tail swinging behind you with upset. "You always like this, I want to have breakfast with you too!"

"I thought you still wanted to sleep?, You seem tired so i thought you need more rest" Zhongli wipes your face and stroke your messy hair, He can see that you are pretty upset, but he cannot understand why, considering usually you have no problem with him letting you sleep more. In fact, he thought all children like to sleep more in the morning, so he is a bit confused on why you are upset.

Zhongli was about to ask you when you suddenly hoofed onto him and hug him tight.

"Don't go to work daddy" 

He is even more confused upon hearing it. Why you act like this all of a sudden?, He doesn't understand.

"Dear, why are you suddenly like this?, You know I have to go to work today. I can't stay, besides, your caretaker is about to arrive in few minutes, you should wash and prepare to study" 

"I don't want to study!, I don't want to be with Miss Lianyi today!, I want to be with you today!" Suddenly, you start throwing tantrum and whining at him, making him frown in disapproval. 

"Y/n, you shouldn't act like this, daddy doesn't like it if you keep throwing tantrum"

Honestly, you almost stop when he said that, but you decided you don't want to stop.

"No!, I don't want you to go to work!, I don't want I don't want I don't want!" You start thrashing on his chest, hitting him with your little fist, much to his dislike.

"Y/n, if you don't stop I will be mad. I was already late, I can't have you throwing tantrum this early in the morning-" Zhongli stops, realizing his harsh tone. He cursed himself mentally and continue talking with lower voice, "..tell me what's wrong, my child"

You stop thrashing, burying your face in his chest, sobbing. 

"...don't go daddy..." 

Your father sigh, he really doesn't understand what is happening with you today. Usually you are such a good and obedient kid, eating breakfast with your caretaker and either studying or playing for the rest of the day. Is this matter related to him somehow?, Did he do something wrong yesterday to cause you so much upset?.

He was about to ask you another question about it when a knock can be heard from the front door. Realizing who is it, Zhongli immediately picks you up and opens the door. Your Caretaker is here and her greeting smile suddenly turns into worry when she sees you clinging to Zhongli and he hasn’t gone to work yet.

“Did something happen, Mr. Zhongli? Is little bao sick?” she asks worriedly. Zhongli shakes his head, he then invites her to come inside and explain what had happened.

“I...So little baobao won’t let you go to work, and has been clinging to you this whole time?” 

Zhongli nodded, despite you still clinging tightly to his neck, his hand also didn't stop supporting your body so you won’t fall.

“That’s right...and I honestly have no idea what wrong I did to her to make her this upset...Do you perhaps have any idea, Miss Lianyi?” He asks, He looks a bit sad and confused mixed, but his strong facade almost made it impossible to notice.

“I...I probably have an idea why little Y/n acting like this” she said, not so sure. But Zhongli immediately snaps his head to face her with a curious expression. "May I hear it, Miss Lianyi?, I think as her caretaker, you may know things I, her father don't" there's a bit of glimmer in Zhongli's eyes, eager to know. 

"U-uh...well, Mr. Zhongli, for the times I've been taking care of little bao, I've noticed sometimes, they will always waiting near the window…,waiting for you"

"Waiting for me?" Zhongli raises his eyebrows.

"Yes, I think they were feeling pretty lonely because you rarely at home. You see, you always go to work very early in the morning and go home pretty late at night, causing you two to barely have any conversation. And I think it's pretty normal behavior for children to want their parents to spend more time with them. Little bao must be missed you so much" 

Lianyi was done answering, while Zhongli was still trying to digest the newfound information. Throughout his life, every child he had fostered acted very differently, but neither of them ever had such feelings for him. They are always such obedient kids, always eager to learn and be useful for the world. What was the difference?Is it because you are his biological child?So the bond between you two is different?Zhongli needs to understand this or else he won't be able to understand you more. And as a father, it is his responsibility to be able to take care and understand his own child like the back of his hand.

"...Thank you for the information, Ms. Lianyi, I didn't know Y/n was feeling like that this entire time. I should be more cautious about it." He sighs and looks back at you, who are now sleeping again on his shoulder, probably too tired after all the crying. He puts you back to your bed, and after having a brief talk with Lianyi, your caretaker goes back home, leaving you and Zhongli alone. Your father writes some letter for Hu Tao, notifying her he wouldn't be able to go to work that day and asking her to reschedule all of his appointments. 

It's already noon when you finally wake up, and the first thing that goes into your head is if you are alone again. You jump out of the bed and run to the living room, but your father is nowhere to be seen. You let out a sulky pout and grumble, but then the door to Zhongli's room opens and the man steps out. He is still using his usual attire, just without the coat. Upon seeing him, you feel so happy because he is finally at home with you, but when you just about to leap into him you immediately feel embarrassed and awkward, knowing he was here because you threw a tantrum earlier that day, causing him to be unable to go to work and being forced to stay at home with you.

When he noticed you didn't come to him and just stay still, he approached you with a worried expression, asking what was wrong.

"My dear…,is there something wrong?Are you still mad at me?Do you want to eat something?" 

You fidget your fingers behind your back, your tail hidden between the legs. You didn't dare to look at him, still feeling embarrassed and all despite knowing how soft and kind your father was towards you. And after a few minutes you finally gaining courage to talk to him.

"Daddy..?” you whisper slowly.

“Yes, dear?” 

“I-i’m sorry...i didn’t mean to be a bad kid today...i just..i just…” You cannot continue your words, somehow feel too embarrassed to say it. But Zhongli, being as sharp as he is, quickly catch what you meant and smiles softly. 

“It’s alright, i understand” He caresses your head, his ungloved hand feels warm and soft to the touch. “I’m sorry, I should understand your needs more. I’ll try to make more time to spend with you together in the future”.

You can feel your cheek feel warmer, mix of embarrassment and happiness. Your plump cheeks are now as red as peach fruit. Zhongli pulls you into a hug, feeling the warmth of your body, and the comfortable feeling of the part of his soul being so close to him, heart to heart. He now understands why his late wife was so nervous and scared to leave their only child in his hand despite knowing how old and cultivated he is. She was scared this kind of thing will happen someday, because raising his foster children in fact, are different from raising his own blood and flesh. You are just almost as stubborn as him and she is probably afraid the two of you won’t get along nicely. But as always, Zhongli finds his ways to solve problems.

“Let’s eat dinner at Wanmin Restaurant tonight” He says, and you smile wide, your tail wiggling happily. “Yes, papa!” you giggles, your father can’t help but feel ticklish in the heart at how sweet your smile is. Right, he swore to protect that smile ever since you were a baby.

“But you need a bath first” He clears his throat, and without waiting for your reactions he just scoops you out from the floor and brings you to the bathroom. You whine and just resigned to the situation as Zhongli scrubs your body (especially your tail) to wash you clean. He always told you that young dragons need to scrub their body a lot because they are constantly renewing their skin to make it thicker and stronger, so you need to take a bath everyday and scrub your whole body to clean out the older skin so it won’t pile up. And Zhongli always likes it whenever he is just done bathing you. Your skin looks brighter and smoother, and your tail looks shinier, much to his liking. 

Not to mention how proud he is whenever he gets the chance to show you off to the people of Liyue. They always praise you at how cute and how much you resemble your father, but whenever someone tries to pinch your cheeks he is always quick to hold you back close to him. He sure doesn’t want to let anyone touch his one and only child.

With every passing days, Zhongli always learns something new about you. And even though your little self likes the attention your father gives you, in the future you probably will start hating it, and Zhongli will need another solution to solve your adolescence and puberty. But surely, surely he always enjoys seeing you growing up under his care.

[reinemichele]

Okay SO, obviously, they were in the groveling phase when I last reblogged this— trying to balance how much info I put about where I live on here, but for my mom's boss to have driven down here at 7:30am, she would've had to been awake at 4-5 in the morning, read the email, freak tf out, rearrange her entire schedule for the day, tell her own bosses about the Lost Valuable Employee Crisis, formulate a Get Valuable Employee Back plan, shower/eat breakfast, and then drive nearly 2 hours to be down here to grovel . Which, my mom ignored her texts and calls, so all of that effort and stress was for nothing <3

But the groveling phase didn't last long, so soon they were driving all the way down here to go into the places my mom gets referrals from & be like "😔🙏🏻 Unfortunately, [my mom] isn't working with us anymore, but we wanted to let you know you can still count on us for hospice service."

And it really <3 really <3 made them very angry <3 when each time, the employees at said places would be like "Um, okay. I was only using you guys because [my mom] was working there. I'm going to switch to where ever she goes next." <3333

After THAT, they tried talking shit about my mom to these people, saying that she "never worked" and "didn't care" about them or their patients. Which is really really funny, because this kind of behavior is EXACTLY why I went out of my way to include in her resignation letter that

She spent 3 years working 24/7, nights and weekends and holidays

SPECIFICALLY because no one else would answer the phone, or the triage after-hours/weekends nurses would straight up Refuse to drive down to provide care

All of that overtime work was never compensated for

When she tried to address these issues, she was rebuffed or ignored, with phone calls and texts and emails pointedly left on read

And obviously this was never compensated monetarily or even acknowledged in praise or appreciation, but that's clearly not the point; the point is the lack of compassion or care in a company dedicated to hospice. It's appalling, and not at all what anyone who's either terminally ill or loves someone who is, should experience during these painful moments.

And it's not like including this in the letter has any bearing on anything, it's basically anecdotal hearsay. But I wanted it written out explicitly— in as diplomatic a way as possible— that they're all selfish pieces of shit, and when they have to file bankruptcy before the inevitable collapse of the company, they'll have their greed and inhumanity to thank for it.

Anyway, they were able to recover all the files on my mom's old work phone; I knew they'd be able to, and that some of the files like photos/contacts were stored in the company's cloud anyway, but I wanted to make it a bit more of a pain in the ass for them to do 🥰 (and obviously I backed up/exported the contacts & any texts my mom deemed useful, first)

So, an employee there who Didn't like my mom; we'll call her RE because there's another person who might be relevant whose name also starts with R, was given my mom's old phone, and is basically in charge of answering all calls that are for my mom and hounding the people, asking what they wanted with her and why they want her, specifically. "What's so good about [my mom]??? Why are you trying to find her after she left [company]???"

It's . Literally sooo juvenile and pathetic and transparent. The unadulterated resentment, and jealousy my aunts have directed towards my mom since they were in middle school. And it's sad, as in pathetic (again), because the answer is so simple and, in my eyes, easy to execute.

You just have to be kind and compassionate and treat people like they're a Person. I'm not saying sacrifice your mental health for an emotionally taxing job, or going above and beyond. But you can't talk to people like they're a Number, you know? A little bit goes a long way, especially considering the kind of shame and fear people feel about the topic of hospice. Offering some kind of personal anecdote (IE mentioning that my mom had her own mom on hospice) helps people feel more comfortable and like they're not being judged. You don't want to be on the phone with someone who's explaining a DNR with the kind of detached cheerfulness of a target employee.

And on the side of referral sources (nursing homes, doctor offices, hospitals, etc), they all refuse to use anyone besides my mom because they Know she'll stop at nothing to make sure someone's needs are met. No matter the circumstance, distance, time of day, behavioral issues/family members from hell, etc, my mom ensures that people are comfortable, reassured, have what they need, and any issues that crop up are resolved. I wish this was the standard for healthcare, but it's unfortunately not, and people know that they can rely on my mom to take care of their patients.

So it's not even necessarily that my mom's reputation is "air tight" or that people have her back, it's that her strength of character is undeniable. You can claim she "doesn't work" or whatever, but you'll just get hit with examples of her sitting with families for 5+ hours until the funeral home got there, or delivering supplies at 2 in the morning, or giving people equipment/mobility aids for free, etc etc. I understand that profit-driven assholes can't understand this, but people who actually give a shit about their patients pay attention to which people have a sincere heart.

I don't want to put too much detail out there bc this company has a history of vindictively going after employees who quit & went somewhere else (even tho non-competes are NOT LEGAL HERE 🗣️🗣️🗣️) like suing & harassing them at work . But I just had a great time helping my mom write her ❌📃

[sainadazai]

hi, could I request dad ushijima headcanons?

Yes ofc :)

Things Dad!Ushi does

He doesn't understand that when your child is a baby, they are...just a baby

Speaks to them seriously as if they will respond to him

It's cute tho-

He will be in the kitchen warming up some milk at midnight, asking the baby about their day

"Your mother told me you almost fully lifted your head today. I always told her you would be strong c/n."

Ushijima goes on a run each morning, and if his kid is being fussy, he just straps them in a carrier and takes them with

It's like weight training

He won't admit to this, but when he is alone with the two of you, he likes to play with their little belly fat

It's so cute how their tummy is chubby he just wants to kiss it all the time-

When they grow more and begin walking and talking, he will realize somehow that he produces the most genius kids in the world

Will ask for more

He knows you don't like it, but he never palys the stupid kids shows when he's watching them, he always puts on a volleyball match

Thinks that he can manipulate the infant into loving volleyball

Doesn't goof around at all, though

You are for playtime and Ushi is for serious training 😡

Instead of teasing around with toys he will do drills with your 4 year old 😀

Sports is how he has fun, so he figures that they will too

It's kinda funny to come home to find a grown man in your backyard doing push-ups next to a pre-schooler

He cheers them on, too, just to be sure they don't feel sad

"Thats it, your almost at two push-ups c/n, hold on, we must record this! Your mother will be so proud she always tells me she likes muscles."

He doesn't understand that the strength isn't what makes you like his muscles :/

Its okay though

Does not give a shit about gender norms because he never knew they existed.

He will let them go to school in a too too and polka dot leggings if they want. Regardless of gender.

He thinks anything they chose to wear is perfect- so why would he change it

If anyone teases them he WILL be seeing the principle about it.

He loves taking them to the gym with him when they are old enough.

Not to workout, but to meet his team

Kageyama pretends to hate them but they play tag all day

Your kid is competitive as shit. Can't help it, it's in the genes

So they will throw tantrums if they ever lose st anything.

However, you can't rely on your wonderful baby daddy to help because he insists on never intentionally losing a game.

They like to play connect four together

So one day you teach your six your old an easy way to beat dad and instead of shaking hands and admitting defeat he refuses to talk to them all day-

Ushi doesn't like losing :/ so now you have two babies to take care of

He wants three kids.

He says that they will be bestfriends and he always wanted siblings growing up

But when you bring home your second child and the first one starts to throw toys at it he gets so confused.

At first he yells, and c/m goes to time out "we do not throw toys!"

But later that night, when you are sound asleep and he is waiting for the baby to inevitably get hungry, he is wondering why on earth your kids wouldn't love eachother

Like...#2 is so cute? Looks just like c/n with that cite lil baby chub :(

He solves the problem by saying that exactly to the 6 year old 😃

"But c/n they have little fat legs? And chubby cheeks? And they laugh when they fart? Just like you."

Somehow it works tho-

They bond over farts and Ushi regrets this so much

He buys a dad car

Two car seats and toys and Disney music

His teammates tease him for it but it so convenient? Why didn't he buy it ages ago?

Struggles a lot with letting go

Like when he has to travel for games

Puts on a brave face for the kids and the calls you on the plane begging to see them and know what you were doing the 30 minutes he's been gone

Being a dad doesn't make him laze off on sex.

He IS a dilf

Although he doesn't know what a dilf is

He is prepared to read a story book to his babies and then pound you into that mattress

Sometimes he does get sick of them

Not specifically, but once they are old enough to argue with him he gets so tired

He insists on not yelling at them

So when thry don't listen he has to put on that stern and scary face but deep inside he really just wants to give them anything they want

Only disciplines them because he knows you'll get mad at him for not

They know how to schmooze him, though

It's the same look you used to give him

Those big brights eyes and soft pout, almost teary with want

He gives in everytime

The man can't help himself he made SUCH CUTE KIDS TF

You don't like it. But you let it happen

Because you know he loves them more than anything in the world <3

[sweetearthandnorthernsky]

u reblogged a post about how all you need is one ask to make u go off about your beloved OCs sooooo... tell me about them :3

*vibrating at the speed of light from excitement*

 i've been thinking about Them recently a lot too, esp with artfight going on! this is going under a cut because it WILL be super long and that is a THREAT

surprisingly these all ended up being pre-canon hcs which were NICE because everything kinda just clicked into place

she + her siblings  are all named after Famous* Edain from the first age, and she feels a special sense of kinship to her sister andreth since they were both technically named after the same woman!

*famous is relative of course, since none of them are straight up named turin or beren etc., but all of them are named after edain that existed! and did things!

as a kid sae LOVES swans, and this earns her the nickname cygnet [i think the sindarin translation would be 'alpheg' but i'm not 100% on it]

she also loves swimming and being on her grandparent’s boat the Aduninzil [they’re shipbuilders, and the aduninzil is really more a sloop than anything, it’s p. small]

she isn’t happy about moving to minas tirith at the age of six, even if there are frequent visits to dol amroth anyway. but she adjusts to city life well enough. 

one day at the age of 8, she is involved in a pretty intense game of hide & seek on the fifth circle, and she ends up wandering into the complex that housed the halls of lore, bar vorn & bar menel -- an infinite array of hiding spaces!

she is mild mannered & quiet enough [for a newly turned 8 year old at least] that the scholars don’t necessarily mind her wandering around, as long as she doesn’t touch things without asking or break anything

she ends up spending most of the day there, enchanted by the knowledge that lay at her fingertips. 

when she leaves the houses, she’s greeted by upset-and-distraught-in-equal measure siblings (andreth, adanel & enerdhil) and is returned home to even more upset-and-distraught parents who were looking for her in the lower circles, tho they’re mostly just glad that she’s ok.

anyway! this mild detour to say; she definitely becomes a regular fixture at the houses of lore while she's still going through her own education, to the point where she's nicknamed 'golodheg' [thank you again isi!!] which means 'little sage/scholar'

[i don't think this will end up being canon for her but i think it would be freaking HILARIOUS if she ran into faramir returning books or smthn a handful of times [like no more than 4] and she's just *star-struck noises* and faramir is internally like "why tf is there a Child in here"]

during this time [from age 7-12], her father teaches her & her siblings how to use a sword, and she takes to it well enough upon realizing the footwork is almost like dancing

one day [at age 9], she finds a copy of the narn e-dinuviel [tale of the nightingale aka beren and luthien]. she's allowed to read it, and she spends a solid week working through the archaic wording with patience she'd never particularly had for anything else.

[luthien reminds her of her mom -- always dancing, warm and kind, with hidden strength -- and beren reminds her of her dad -- brave, undaunted and gentle -- though she never puts the pieces together until WELL after the fact]

when it comes time for her to make her first copy, there is no hesitation and she chooses b&l.

(in my own hc one of the major projects/milestones in a child's school life is copying a book of their own choice, which is a very long, structured process. and the finished product is referred to as a 'first copy'

by the time she is eleven, she has finished the first copy and chooses to move on to her second copy, which is the fall of gondolin & rise of the star [or ‘Narn e-Dant Gondolin ar Orthad en El’, according to tolkien gateway] in its more archaic [in human terms at least] sindarin instead of westron like b&l was

by the time she finishes the fall of gondolin, sauron’s shadow is getting really heavy, and her parents make the decision to send her + adanel to bree on the grounds that maeril [caladil’s [sae’s mom] sister] is expecting a Baby soon and will Need Help

and while that is technically true, the real reason is to keep sae & adanel safe

sae... in bree doesn’t outright do extremely poorly but she’s very concious of the fact that while the breefolk are nice & friendly, she & adanel & other gondorians are Outsiders to them

[i have a lil hc that w/ all the refugees coming up from the south, there ends up being a ‘little gondor’ section somewhere in bree]

and so sae copes with this by creating this Image of what a Perfect Gondorian should look like, and is constantly striving to meet this insanely lofty goal. and uh spoiler; she never quite does

she enlists in the breeland jrotc  junior militia as soon as she is able, along with working in the scholar’s stair to help archive things

eventually at 18, she ranks up to be a captain, and maeril’s oldest & her husband  are expecting a baby themselves now but sae REALLY wants to go home and the sooner the better

so she and adanel + her aunt & uncle compromise: sae knows enough to take care of herself so she could go ahead and get started down the greenway, and adanel would be behind her as quickly as possible

and then sae meets up with some brigands and uh :) we all know how things go from there

[jinxedrose4ever]

Peter Quill x Fem!Reader - "Just Dance with Me"

Howdy everyone! I'm a lovely fanfic writer and this is the first story I will post here! Enjoy!~

(TW : Mentions of sex at the end)

Peter's POV -

"Man, I can't get this piece!-" He kicks the jukebox in the front of him. "Of junk!-" He kicks it again. "To work!" He kicks it one last time and plops down next to it with a sour pout on his lips. "Maybe if I-"

"Hey, Peter!" says (Y/n) as she walks aboard the ship, "Done boxing with the jukebox yet, or did it just kick your ass so good you give up now?" She says with a playful smirk on her face.

"Hey! I did not 'give up'" I say to defend myself. I stand up and dust myself off. "It didn't kick my ass either. It's a piece of junk! I've been working with it all day and it just won't turn on."

"Aw, poor Petey~ He can't make this 'piece of junk' work~ I guess I'll just go get Rocket then. Seems like he's handier than you. The great ruler of this mighty ship. Beaten. By a trash panda." She says with a giggle. 

'She looks so cute when she giggles like that.' I smile to myself. 'Wait, what- No. Dude, she is way out of my league. It'll never happen. Even if I did try flirtin' with her, I'm sure she'd just turn me down.' I sigh aloud and look down at the floor.

"What's wrong Peter? I didn't mean to actually offend you, I was just playin' around. I'll help you try n' fix it if ya want." (Y/n) says sweetly with a hint of concern lacing her voice.

"Nah, it's fine. I was just thinking about something. I'm Star-Lord. I don't get offended." I say as I adjust my pants and stand up straight. I puff up my chest and deepen my voice as I put my hands on my waist and look off into the distance. "You see anyone around here that resembles someone who gets offended easily? I think not little lady."

(Y/n) starts laughing. "Your such a dork, Peter." She laughs a little more and clears her throat. "Ahem, no sir. I see no such filth here." She stands up straight and puts her hands behind her back.

"Good, now put your arms up," I order her.

"What? Why?" She asks with a confused look on her face.

I walk towards her and tilt her face up to look up at me. "You dare question my order and my authority soldier?"

"I em- Ahem, no sir." She lifts her arms as I told her to.

"Good. Commencing take off." I lift her off her feet and she wraps her arms around him as I spin around in a circle.

(Y/n) POV -

'This guy is crazy. He's pouting one second then going army Sargent the next.' I giggle as he spins me around and I then remember we're not the only ones on this ship. Anyone could drop in on this little scene we're having.

"Peter put me down already! I'm not five years old!" I say with a slightly annoyed tone of voice.

"Aw, but your like, 5 feet tall so it all works out." he replies sharply.

"I am not!! I am 5 foot, 4 inches, and three-quarters!!" I say now getting playfully angry and start hitting his back. I laugh to myself mentally for being that specific.

"Calm down, calm down. I won't kill ya." He says sarcastically.

"Oh yeah? Well, I just might if you don't put me down this!-" And at that very moment, he put me down gently as if we're sacred China glass.

"There," He squats down just a bit and puts his hands on his legs. "Better you whiny baby?"

"Pssh, only whiny baby here is you. I simply wanted to be put down." I say as I cross my arms and look away from him. I walk over to the jukebox and immediately find out what the problem is. "Hey Sargent Quill, I found out what the problem is with your jukebox."

"Oh yeah, right. I've worked with it all day and it just won't turn on." He stands up straight and walks over to me.

"Well," I say as I squat down behind the jukebox. "maybe you should've plugged the damn thing in? Ya'know-" I cough and turn away for a second to control my growing smile. "Just a thought." 

He looks at me with a 'how tf did she get it to work in 1 second when I was here all day' kinda face. Then, he slowly starts smiling as the jukebox turns on and Dancing in the Moonlight starts playing. He extends his hand out towards me and I just look at him funny.

"Care to dance ma'lady? It's one of my favorite songs." he says with that dorky sweet smile of his.

"I don't know Peter, I'm not one for dancing. Plus, what if somebody walks in on us and-"

"Would you stop whining for one second and just dance with me?" He says as he tilts his head waiting for my answer. Then he starts doing a little pouty face.

"Alright, alright. But you lead, I don't dance much..." I say as I feel my face heat up from the thought of dancing with him, holding onto him, and gliding around the room with him.

"Yes ma'am, I'll show you a few moves." And with that, I take his hand and he slowly brings me closer to him. He slips one of his arms around my waist and we start slowly by swaying side to side. I lay my head on his chest and just listen to his heart beating. He then moves his hand off my waist and grabs ahold of my hand and has me spin around him. Surprisingly, I'm enjoying myself very much. Just being around him is wonderful.

We start moving around the room and then over to the jukebox to raise the music. We continue dancing, enjoying each other, and just having fun with each other. He lifts me off my feet and spins us around as he holds me up just for a moment. For that moment I was in the air, I couldn't help but look into his beautiful green eyes. As the song ends, we sit down and start laughing.

"Wow, who knew you had moves." I say as my laughing dies down.

"Why of course, dancing is very attractive to the ladies. Y'know, if you think that back there was good, you should see what other moves I know." He says with a suggestive tone and looks at me with a smirk.

I groan at his comment. "I was just starting to enjoy myself and then you go back to that. Well thank you for the dance but I'll be leaving now." I stand up and begin to walk away, but before I'm too far, I feel Peter grab onto my wrist.

"(Y/n), wait!" I look at him slightly annoyed as he holds onto me.

"What now Peter?" I'm now overly uninterested in this conversation and him in general at this very moment.

"I..." he trails off and looks away for a brief second. "I'm sorry for what I said. It just kinda comes naturally. I didn't mean to offend you and... well, I did enjoy our dance, and maybe, if you're not busy, you'd like to hang out with me more often?" 

'Peter Quill. Apologizing. And asking me of all people to hang out with him? I don't get it, he could have any woman of any species he wants's and he's asking me if we could hang out more?'

"I don't know Peter..." I say a bit nervous.

"Please? I'm really sorry (n/n). It's just whenever I'm with you, I get all nervous and awkward and- I just-" He sighs and runs one of his hands through his hair. "I really do wanna spend time with you. I like being around you 'cuz I like you and..." He lets go of my wrist and holds onto both of my hands gently. "Not just in the friend way."

A small smile makes its way onto my face along with a faint blush. Quickly spreading all over my face. "Well... since we're both on the same page, I guess you wouldn't mind if I did this." I look up at him and grin. I slip my hands out of his and get up on my tippy toes. I move one arm over his shoulder. With the other, I softly hold onto his face and kiss him.

Peter's POV - 

She's kissing me. I tense up for a second and register what the hell is happening. 'Does this mean she likes me too? She's kissing me. Got to pick her up, dance with her, and now she's kissing me? Today is awesome.' I snap out of my thoughts and wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her back.

Sadly, she backed away for a stupid thing we people need called air. I was enjoying that. "Is that all a poor soul like me gets?" I say with a pout.

"Mmm, no. But, I was thinking of taking you up on that offer you mentioned awhile ago. I wouldn't mind showing you some of my moves." She says with a smirk and hurriedly walks over to the corridor and leans on the door frame. "Come and get me, Star-Lord." And with that, I run over to her and pick her up bridal style and run to my room. "You don't have to ask me twice." She giggles as we rush into my room and I shut the door behind us. Let's just say we weren't tired the next morning from just dancing.

KUROO, IWAIZUMI AND ATSUMU AS DADS

-

KUROO

he’s always wanted 3-4 

growing up the only child in the household with his grandparents and father got a little lonely when he wasn’t with kenma

so you, y/n his wonderful and beautiful wife, fill his world with much more joy by bearing his children 

you have 3 so far and phew good luck

two boys and a girl 

kuroo has already started teaching your kids his trademark catchphrases 

to your despair your youngest son’s first words had been “oya oya”

your face dropped while kuroos hyena laugh roared through the house

“wHY WOULD YOU TEACH HIM THAT”

“because bokuto dared me??”

for the first few weeks all you can hear is little mutters and screeches of “oya oya” and it’s driving you ✨insane✨

kuroo is however good with kids 

and he will put a stop to it by giving your kid a pacifier to keep quiet

kuroo would love if his kids took an interest in volleyball 

but he won’t force it on them 

he’ll support whatever they want to do

your kid wants to try ballet? kuroo will buy several pairs of specially made shoes

art? kuroo is more than happy to hire a whole studio for the day

swimming? he’ll have a pool installed in your house

material arts? kuroo will find a ninja to train your kid

he wants to be the best dad he possibly can for his kids 

i’m not saying he plays favourites but he does have a soft spot for his little girl

he will absolutely try and encourage her that boys are the worst and she shouldn’t date them until they get his seal of approval

he has a ridiculously high standard for the type of boy your daughter can date

you could be a high achieving graduate, astronaut in training, saved 36 old ladies on the street and a candidate for president 

and kuroo would still be like

“is that it? 🙄”

good luck to your daughter then 

he is there for every event 

his whole schedule will be made around any birthdays, graduations, shows etc

he will make sure of it

he doesn’t care if he’s scheduled a meeting with the highest world leader

if that meeting falls on the same day as his kids sports game he will not be sat in an office chair but rather in the crowd cheering his kid on alongside you

he wants to give his kids the best in life but he also doesn’t want to completely spoil them 

he was raised pretty normally so you and him agreed you should try to at least do the same

however when uncle kenma or uncle yaku babysits his kids 👀

“dad uncle kenma bought me a new pc!”

“uncle yaku bought me a pony!”

that’s it

kuroo will spoil tf out of your kids from time to time just to one up his friends

overall he is such a doting dad

yourself and the kids mean the absolute world to him 

and he appreciates you to no end for bringing them into this world 

together the two raise such humorous, perceptive and successful children 

and he couldn’t be more proud of his family

IWAIZUMI

years of practically babysitting oikawa have prepared him for this 

he has the patience levels built up

he is also extremely responsible and level headed 

the two of you have 1 son who is 4 years old

the toddler has iwaizumi wrapped around his little finger 

iwa denies this though

whenever your son misbehaves or makes a mistake (which is rare btw) iwa is looking down at him sternly

“s/n, you know better than this”

but all it takes it one pout and iwaizumi is all soft again and swoops your son into his arms 

lmao i just know he’ll teach your son to insult oikawa 

“say trash-y-ka-wa! that’s my boy!”

“iwa-chan stop teaching your baby to bully me i can’t even handle it from you alone 😩”

sometimes iwaizumi takes your son to work if you’re feeling particularly tired or have somewhere else to be

he definitely will wear on of those baby carrier harnesses 

that’s kinda hot tbh 

bokuto and hinata are all over your kid while iwaizumi is trying to train team japan

while he manages to get both players back over he notices his son is missing from the portable baby chair he brought with him 

“omi omiiiiii look! baby germs!”

atsumu is running around with your son securely in his arms while sakusa  is SPRINTING away from the blonde shouting profanities at him 

needless to say, iwaizumi tries not to bring his kid along whenever serious training needs to be done

he will bring him to more laid back sessions though

iwaizumi is THE responsible dad of the year

he cooks, he cleans and he knows how to handle your son

by now your son has started to develop into his personality more

being around his calm and level headed dad has really rubbed off on him

he doesn't get too overexcited and knows how to behave well

there is something that bothers iwaizumi about your son though

his first words

“iwa-chan~”

iwaizumi’s face dropped when the familiar phrase left his sons mouth

“shittykawa i will FLY over to argentina to personally beat you up”

“it’s not MY fault s/n likes hanging out with his uncle tooru 😗”

oikawa is a doting uncle too

whenever he can he visits your family and spends time getting to know your kid 

the nickname ‘trashykawa’ did happen to stick though

iwaizumi considered it fair now that your son called his best friend after the nickname he taught him 

another dad who would like if his son took up volleyball, but won't force it

your kid does actually pick it up though 

and he’s damn good at it 

not to be clichè but he will like the position of ace the best

this is to your husband and bokuto’s delight

iwaizumi will be there for every game and will absolutely let him come to work with him more often as he gets older so he can watch pros up close

maybe one day your kid will end up on the very team his father trains

and he’ll be there alongside you cheering him on

ATSUMU

atsumu is blessed with the gift of twin daughters

hey, twins are in his genes it was bound to happen somewhere down the line

his girls are the most precious beings to him

other than you obv

to him, you are his heart, soul and everything inbetween

he treats his girls like princesses 

like kuroo, boys are off the table 

“oi if ya think you’re bringin boys home you can think again!”

“baby, it’s only their first day of preschool please calm down 😀”

unless these boys can beat him at setting, they’re not allowed within a 48 mile radius of your daughters

he will defo want you to bring them to his games

put them in personalised jerseys and he will be showing them off to his team and the crowd

every point he scores he’s pointing at you and your girls

“THAT ONE WAS FOR YOU MY PRINCESSES!”

when his team wins he will absolutely bring the three of you out onto the court and pull you all in for a tight hug and shower you all with affection for the world to see

your kids take a liking to sakusa believe it or not

they find his presence interesting in comparison to the other msby players

lmao sakusa will show your girls his flexible wrist trick and they’ll giggle in excitement 

“uncle omi is so cool!”

hang on a minute

‘UNCLE’ omi???

atsumu is in shock 

“how come’s ya nice to em and not to me omi omi?”

“they take after y/n more than you. they're not annoying and gross like you that’s why”

as he’s apart of the dedicated dad society, atsumu will make sure he’s there for every event he can too

if his games fall on the same day as an event with your daughters you can bet ur ass he is there as soon as his game is over

celebratory drinks with the team? not on his watch when his daughter has a dance recital 

any moments he misses when he's playing an away match or can’t get out of training he asks you to record so he can watch it back multiple times later

probably cries when he watches your daughter win her sports match or perform in a dance show

his camera roll is FULL of pictures of you and your daughters

insists on posting them all so he can show the world what a beautiful and loving family he has 

uncle osamu makes sure he tells your daughters embarrassing stories about their dad

“and then your dad turned around and told the girls to stop squealin like pigs when they were only showin their support”

“wth dad that's so rude 😠”

“thEY MESSED UP MY SERVE SAMU SHUT UP”

your family is raised super close 

atsumu always knew he wanted both of your families involved with his daughters upbringing so he makes sure everyone is included and the two girls are familiar with their whole family 

it’s important to him that they’re familiar with his volleyball family too

he loves the fact they're so comfortable and familiar with his teammates 

uncle bokuto and uncle hinata are a hit with the twin girls

but its uncle omi who takes the crown for favourite

there is never a dull moment in the miya family 

and atsumu couldn’t ask for better people to be involved with his daughters upbringing
