#she s a straight up bully tbh

[nuks]

Taking a wee break from commissions to ponder the oc orb… kinda wanting to make just. The most mean lady ever… let’s be real we all need more mean girls who are just morally bad LMAOO waiter waiter, more villainous women!!! inspired by bubblegum bitch by marina and cheerleader by ashnikko

[xokohaneazusawa]

hello i have a bllk request!

can i request isagi, bachira, chigiri, nagi, reo, kuni, the itoshi brothers and barou with a socially awkward gf/crush who (kinda) hates kids?

like reader doesn’t HATE hate kids, but is like scared of them. kids are actually scary especially gen alpha 💀. how tf are these little gremlins watching skibidi toilet with a straight face just a short clip of it literally made me and my friends so uncomfortable we couldn’t continue 💀.

so more like she can watch kids from afar, and if she saw one in public, she wouldn’t throw a rock at it or call animal control. but talking to them? interacting with them?? HELL NO SHE CANT DO THAT.

it’s kinda like how we see zoo animals. best admired from afar, and if she ever gets stuck in an empty room with them, she’s screwed. as if talking to adults and teenagers wasn’t scary enough, their school just had to pick an orphanage/children’s hospital to volunteer at. she’s hiding in the corner watching her bf/crush deal with the like 7-year olds (maybe younger, who btw, were most likely bullying her just now.) wondering why and how people could stand those little gremlins.

(better still, if they go back to his place after the school volunteering activity and his parent(s)/sister jokingly mention grandkids/nieces/nephews and she’s like “ew i hate kids” or smth like that, but maybe more discreet idk how to tell even my own parents i hate children, let alone my (nonexistent) bf’s parents 💀)

once again it’s not that she actually hates kids, but sees them as a different species and can’t deal with them because they scare her, and sometimes bully her. 💀

ik you probably have a lot of requests but i kinda need SOME way to overcome my crippling fear of children.

i hope you like this idea tho and i really love your writing 🫶🫶🫶

Ngl this is actually so me, I love this idea so much- But the best part is the fact that I actually worked with kids for almost 2 years, and my friends club has us interacting with kids too... (I tried to do most of the characters but I had no ideas for some of them, but you can always re-request with the ones that I missed and the second I think of some ideas I'll def write it!!)

Isagi Yoichi -> Do we not remember when that one kid stopped him after the u-20 match.. Bro is good with kids, so luckily he can save you

-> He will slightly chuckle at you when you show up to this place where the children (gremlins) are at you slightly freak out, and he will laugh at you even more when your awkwardly standing in the corner because your way to freaked out to actually go talk to any of these kids

-> Has to keep reminding the kids not to laugh at you, and that your just not the best socially

-> Eventually tries to find you one of those kids who are also standing away from everybody else for you to interact with, both of y’all have something in common, you hate the other kids!

-> He will very much get confused on this skibidi toilet bullshit (who isn’t, tbh-) but he’ll sit through it so they can be entertained while he tries to make sure that your still alive in the corner

-> If you actually started talking to the kid that he sent your way he’ll be kinda proud, I mean obviously it’s not the other 10 kids he has with him, but it’s a step in the right direction!

-> If not he gets it, I mean what he’s watching with them right now is downright terrifying, so why wouldn’t the minds who consume it also be terrifying

-> Later on when you two finally end up heading back to his house he tells his parents about how you two were volunteering with children and when they offhandedly mention that it would be nice to have grandchildren in the future he can only laugh.

“Yeah.. Unless I can get (Name) to stop hiding in a corner when they see a child then maybe..”

Reo Mikage

-> He grew up as an only child and I’m assuming he didn’t have a bunch of friends when he was growing up so I don’t think he would be the absolute best with kids, but still better than others

-> The kids will be a little confused when he starts trying to teach them about business and economics saying that this was the age he started learning about running a business

-> They might end up gravitating towards you since you’re just kinda confused along with them, trying to explain to him not every kid grew up with their future of running a family company.

-> Will totally laugh when he sees how freaked out you are with these little (gremlins) kids trying to get your attention and asking if your any more fun than Mr.Business (Which they had nicknamed Reo) -> Will eventually learn and get them to leave you alone, after almost 10 minutes of you trying to hide behind him or anywhere else in this room so they can’t talk to you

-> Ends up helping them instead with other things like reading and math stuff, not the brain rot of skibidi toilet (thank god)

-> That night you two had ended up going out to dinner with his parents as they wanted to have a nice sit down meal while they talked about what was possibly coming up in the future, including your future with Reo, and kids. He smiled and took your hand in his.

“After today, I don’t think we’ll have to worry about an heir to the Mikage Corp for quite a while of time”

Kunigami Rensuke

-> BRO HAS TWO SISTERS, One older and one younger, Man knows his way around kids, for sure. I take no criticism on this.

-> Is actually so good with kids, you now are speculating that he’s actually a single teen dad with like 2 kids or something that he just hasn’t told you about. He’s that good (it’s actually scary)

-> He will not let them watch skibidi toilet, another man who is respectable and makes sure they are doing educational stuff

-> Also makes sure they stay away from you for the most part, just because he knows that you don’t like having all those kids near you, but he may or may not send one over your way that he thinks that you’ll actually get along with

-> He wants to see what you would be like if you actually interacted with a kid, it’s his future brain thinking

-> That also brings up to the day that his parents (and his sisters) have asked you both about having children in the future, he would just chuckle and ruffle your hair a little

“Unless I would be the only one communicating with the little one then I don’t see us having kids for quite a bit of time.”

Sae Itoshi

-> Worst person to have around kids. I mean did you see how he treated his own little brother, smh. (DROP WHAT HAPPENED IN SPAIN, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS)

-> Does not know how to act around kids, just basically lets them do whatever as long as they aren’t bothering the two of you

-> To bad kids don’t listen all that well and he basically has to keep glaring at them from where he is sat at the only bigger table in the room with you, because these kids keep trying to get your attention since they know Sae isn’t gonna give them anything, which sucks for you

-> Attempts to try something once he realizes that you're actually pretty horrible with kids, let's just say the soccer he tried to play with them didn’t go all that well.. And you may or may not have had to get over your fear a little since a bunch of crying kids kept coming over to you

-> To which he figured that this wasn’t the way to go about it so he just put on some random movie he remembers from when he was a kid, too bad it was one of the ones from his flight to Spain when he was younger and it was all in Spanish. (It’s okay, they had fun trying to figure out what the hell it said, and it kept them entertained for quite a bit of time.)

-> Once the whole future and children conversation came up with his parents, he could only roll his eyes.

“Yeah, no thanks. (Name) and I couldn’t handle one of those gremlins, even if it looked or acted like us.”

[just-another-author-i-guess]

Hey can I request something with judd birch I don't really have a prompt can you just make something fluffy and cute I need some soft love in my life lol

I literally had a dream about this last night, so here you go lol sorry it’s not like super soft, it’s just school hc’s

Tags: gn! Reader, kinda?, leaning towards fem, mentions of s e x 🫣, and alcohol, Judd’s driving, school should be an actual warning tbh

Summary: the one day a month when Judd show’s up to school.

Author’s note: I skipped my math class to write this,, 🤷🏻‍♀️ yk you gotta think like your characters when you write about them lmfao

Surviving a day in school with Judd

Word count; 1,1K

so, let’s say your boyfriend has one of those rare days where he decides to actually show up to school

He’s so, so tired in the morning

I’m talking slow blinking, yawning and constantly leaning his forehead on stuff to try and catch a quick nap in class or while standing up

He’s also constantly complaining, acts like it’s your fault he has to be there

He will be following you around the entire time too

No one will talk to you willingly the whole day because Judd is just always standing broodingly behind you

You’re getting something from your locker? Judd is standing there, scowling and leaning against the lockers besides yours so no one except you can get to their stuff

You’re talking to your friends? Judd will still just stand there a bit behind you, glaring at your friends or using his whole body weight to lean on you

Even if you’re talking to his friends, he’s not that talkative, he prefers just to let you lead the conversation

He does actually have those, friends I mean, like people he can hang out with if you’re not available, or people who host parties

You’re definitely getting initiated into his friend group as soon as you start dating, they’re all kinda like him anyways so you’d fit right in lol

But omg he’s so clingy at school

He just misses you between classes, yk? ),:

After the first classes, he’ll be more awake

You can’t tell if that’s good or bad tbh

It’s not like he actively goes out of his way to disturb classes or anything, but he’s definitely not an ideal student either

Like, he’s not one of those annoying kids who purposely talk really loudly or throw stuff or whatever

but he will sit with his feet up on his desk if he feels like it, doesn’t respond when he gets called on, will call the teacher a colourful variety of curse words and ends up getting kicked out and send to the office

Maybe just don’t call on him and he won’t insult you? 🤷🏻‍♀️

(He’s also literally the worst partner for assignments ever)

That’s in his own classes at least,, let’s say you share a PE class with him and it will very quickly turn into “hey let’s skip and go fuck in the bathroom”

The days were Judd shows up to school is definitely the days you get in trouble/ and/ or detention

Okay but that’s another thing, the other half of the day he will just show up outside of your classes

Either because he got kicked out of his or he has a break or something, he’ll just stand outside and wait for you to come out so he can drag you somewhere and yk,, get all the horny out of his system

Maury also straight up refuses to deal with Judd’s school, as soon as he enters he’s doing his best to convince Judd to find you and have sex or something instead

Omg,, the many, many, poor people you’ve traumatised in the school bathroom or parking lot

(He will also fuck you in his car in front of the school lmfao)

You usually eat lunch with Leah or your respective group of friends, but when Judd’s there you’ll eat with him

(You probably have to pay for his lunch🧍🏻)

Sometimes, though, he’ll drive you two out to get McDonald’s or something

Leah will sit with you at lunch too, so she can bully Judd for showing up or rant to him about something or whatever

Also if anyone’s bothering her, Judd is the best way for her to get out of talking to them

After lunch, you have a class with Leah so he’s once again left to his own devices

He reluctantly goes to his own class because he doesn’t have anything else to do lol

Unless it’s a teacher that’s really really nice, he gets kicked out again

The man literally spends the entire school day just roaming around because he keeps getting send to the office lmfao

He would probably try to get into the school’s vents as well? He’ll crawl over to where your class is and bother you by throwing paper or something through the vent

You’re just sitting in class, and suddenly a bunch of small paper scraps falls from the ceiling and lands in your hair

You look up, only to see your boyfriend grinning and gesturing with his head for you to leave the room

Leah sees it too and has to do her best not to burst out laughing 🫣

Surprisingly, he shows up to after school detention

Definitely not because you dragged him there and told him it was his fault for getting you roped into it as well—

You two sit in the back, and you try to do your homework while Judd naps

Sometimes you’ll share headphones or Judd will steal some of your notebook paper and draw on it

Judd is super distracting literally by just existing, he’s the loudest quiet person ever if that makes sense

When you’re finally out of school, Judd is by default expecting yet another rendezvous in the back of his van

It’s actually kinda fascinating how much the guy can go in just one day—

But anyways, he’ll drive you home or to his house or wherever you wanna go

Sometimes you come with him to pick up Nick from school

Okay so here’s one of Judd’s secrets

He can actually drive like a normal person 😮

I mean, sure he’s always a bit above the speed limit and a bit too close to hitting ppl walking close to the road, but he almost only drives like a race car driver when Nick’s in the car

Because he knows Nick hates it lol

You would have gotten used to it by now, because you know he isn’t actually gonna hit someone

But Nick doesn’t know that

Driving really, really fast is probably also a way for Judd to destress or wind down after a long, and boring, school day

He’ll pass the fuck out when he gets home from school

Well, he’ll knock back half a Jack daniels and raid the fridge and then pass out

You’re more than welcome to anything in the birches fridge yourself, so if you’re feeling particularly nice pls make him something sustainable

His idea of a proper meal is literally a bag of chips— I’m so stressed

Anyways, congrats. You made it through a whole school day with Judd lol

Don’t expect him to show up again tomorrow, though 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love doing Judd headcannons 🤭🤭

Female TWST

I am a huge women lover. Like its obvious at this point I love women. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. IM. ON. MY. KNEES.

Thats why I shall type main Twisted Wonderland cast as female, because y e s. Btw they personality wont change much, I am just changing the looks

Riddle

Im already huge simp for Disney Queen of Hearts so yeah... Its gonna be worse. I think F!Riddle would be either a short haired or VERY LONG HAIRED. No inbetween, probably long haired so her mom would do this weird smartass haircuts (Like the bun she has herself.). Also girlie is still short, Im so sorry girl you aint getting high shelves soon (I love short girls)

Trey

OMG. GIRL IN GLASSES. YES. Also, Trey can cook and is basically, like a parent to anyone, so his female version would be taken by STRAIGHT MAN. NOOOOOOOO. That not good. Also, I like to think F!Trey would have a very average hair, that never go below shoulders

Cater

I once saw Gyaru Cater art, I inhaled this into my soul. Cater would be either, this Gyaru like girlie on her phone 24/7 (Like Yandere Simulator bullies), OR an average TikTok girl, that uses slang a lil too much (I am more into Gyaru version myself, BUT WHATEVER.)

Ace

The first thing that came to my mind is that F!Ace has very VERY long hair, that she ties into a braid (Like Raiden Shogun kind of length), just so when she turns around fast, she would hit anyone behind her with that massive ass braid. Like, that sounds like very Ace thing to do tbh??? 😭

Deuce

Here I cant decide if Deuce would delinquent era as a girl would still be a delinquent, OR a mean bully girl. Because, those two are kinda the same breed 😭. But if delinquent: A fucking one side shaved (lesbian ahh haircut) and now Deuce is trying to grow that shit out. If a mean girl: ... Do you guys know Heathers? :3

Leona

I shall inhale BUFF WOMAN, WITH MY WHOLE SOUL. Like, F!Leona would have that 6 pack, my friend said she would have big booba, but GENUINELY, I cant imagine that, like FLAT QUEEN. Also, the same as Deuce, one side shaved, with a fucking tattoo, also the hair side has a little silly braid

Ruggie

A chin length hair, with a shmol ponytail behind, like... Shmol shmol. Also I imagine F!Ruggie to dress as a man sometimes, because: DID YOU KNOW THAT FEMALE HYENAS HAVE PSEUDO-PENIS—

Jack

F!Jack the buff tall woman with a wolf cut. Please. MAKE THIS A THING. I BEG YOU ALL. I BEG ON MY KNEES. Also maybe F!Jack would be a lil bit shorter? Because she-wolves (or whatever you call it in English) are shorter than males? Idk, I was sleeping through biology classes

Azul

OFFICE. SIREN. F!AZUL. Thats all I have to say, hair in a bun, glasses, and cunt mixed with formal look. Azul is somewhere between spectrum of F!Floyd and F!Jade, because as F!Floyd is more cunty, F!Jade is more formal, so perfect balance

Floyd

As I said, Office Siren F!Floyd, but... MORE CUNT. And by this I mean like... Bayonetta level of the cunt. Also, a quite long hair, that are either in ponytail, or nothing at all

Jade

Idk if I can call her an Office Siren if she's the most formal out of the 3, but sure, whatever, lets make whole Octavinelle serve cunt in industry. F!Jade has shorter hair than F!Floyd, and they're always somehow tied up

Kalim

Do you know those silly girls, that go to parties every time, do tiktok trends, do many different hair styles daily, shares her things with everyone, and may or may not be into things that may be considered cringe? Like hobby horseing? DO I NEED TO SAY MORE.

Jamil

Mental support girlie. "Girl's girl" girlie. Yes— Like, yes. F!Jamil would have this kind of karen mom sense of fashion, if you get what I mean, also cardigan at ALL TIMES, if she wont do the "grandma cardigan" move ITS NOT F!JAMIL!

Vil

Funfact: When I imagined F!Vil I basically imagined MY FUCKING BULLY FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL 💀. WOW. F!Vil got that style, got that fashion, got that tits (Im sorry, I needed to type that. That was stronger than me). Curly long hair, many different hairstyles, bro is basically now nicer Velvette from Hazbin Hotel (How many references and comparing I already done. Holy moly)

Rook

I recently realised that, if Rook had a little longer hair, he would be basically Yumeko from Kakegurui, so lets go with that, because Im ain't fucking with his ugly ass hair cut. Rook would also be taken by straight males and called YANDERE 😭 Another nightmare to my collection...

Epel

Tomboy. T o m b o y. Tom-boy. TOMBOY. tomboy. T O M B O Y. Need I say more? F!Epel would AND WILL look like a man the same way Epel looks like a woman. I am not taking this back. Let that shit sink in.

Idia

Discord kitten or this one girl you hear at 3 am in Valorant that rages over shitty players and just cuses everyone out in the most diabolic way possible. No inbetween. F!Idia would look like Sucy from Little Witch Academia, with longer hair tho

Ortho

Robo-girl? Yes. For F!Ortho I think she would be the same as normal Ortho, with just more shaped hips, and that's basically it? Nothing crazy, I mean you can play a little with his design, like make his ,,shoes" look more like heels, but other than that?

Malleus

Starting with hairstyle, do you know Raiden Mei from Honkai Impact 3rd? Like... Herrscher of Thunder? That's basically this kind of hair cut, no one can tell me otherwise. Also F!Malleus this kind of girl to fight and beat your ass in heels 😭

Lilia

He already looks like a girl. So F!Lilia would be a little bit more... Manly? But in like... Female way? I dunno, Lilia is complicated person. In her general era she would have a very short hair, buzz cut even, but in current era, she grew some balls and now she can even tie it into ponytail (Also another girl to beat your ass up in heels)

Sebek

F!Sebek fits in both long hair and short hair. For short hair I would go for like basic shoulder length that is always tied up (you know, for fight), for long hair I would go with same concept, but more for tying similiar to the one that has Charlie from Hazbin Hotel (the new design)

Silver

... Hair that looks short, but are actually long due to nearly invisible ponytail in the back, that's basically like rat tail hairstyle. No. I wont elaborate. (Ngl, that shit is lowkey good for fighting) (Probably Lilia fucked up her hair)

(holy shit what did I created)

[springsheep]

War of Faith Notes Ep. 33 - 36

Ep 33 -> Shen Tunan leads his people to obstruct the other Soldiers (they got caught red handed smuggling stuff with Communists).

Aww poor Xiao Yu (Shen Tunan's daughter) got bullied at school, because her classmate's father(s) are the ones that Shen Tunan killed or captured.

Cui Yunge's wife (Cui Yunge is the guy Shen Tunan killed) is scheming to kill him(?) puts her purse in his car.

God pleaseee don't let Huang Congyun die. I know he was annoying in earlier episodes but tbh he's a loyal guy and i get where he's coming from so pleaseee argh i'm worried.

The bomb went off when Shen Tunan is picking up his daughter from school. Huang Congyun can shoot now, apparently. Poor Xiao Yu ah.

Shen Tunan and Su Cishu watch Xiao Yu in the hospital. Shen Tunan cries because he didn't mean to kill Cui Yunge's wife (but she was shooting at him and Xiao Yu).

Shen Tunan and Wei Ruolai are fighting the economic war (counterfeit money, price of things are rising, blablabla). Shen Tunan must know or at least guess that Wei Ruolai is the one working in the Soviet Bank.

Shen Tunan: Wei Ruolai is very vigilant. We've caused them so much trouble, he won't just be a sitting duck. Lin Qiaosong: Don't you think... you think too highly of him? Shen Tunan: I don't. You don't know how capable he is.

(I can practically feel how proud Shen Tunan is of his Wei Ruolai at this point).

Wei Ruolai and the bank people discuss recent events.

Wei Ruolai: ...Seems like some bigshot has arrived recently. WRL the bigshot is your Xiansheng, hahaha.

Wei Ruolai (to Mr. Lei): I want to volunteer for this counterfeit case. I want to meet this bigshot, otherwise I'll feel uneasy.

(okay bro, we know you miss your xiansheng ok...)

Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen will be doing this operation. They go to the kerosene trading firm or whatever (I can't wait for Wei Ruolai to meet his Xiansheng Aaaaaaah)

Okay fuckk.

Shen Tunan meets Shen Jinzhen, and Wei Ruolai!!! Shen Tunan isn't surprised to see them both. Wei Ruolai has long guessed that it's him (Wei Ruolai straight away called, Xiansheng).

Shen Jinzhen is crying when she sees the brother. (Why did you lie to meee). Shen Tunan tells her Xiao Yu is in the hospital.

Wei Ruolai: Xiansheng, let's get down to business. Shen Tunan: Are you here to exchange the method (to make the real money) with salt? Wei Ruolai: No, I don't even know the method. Shen Tunan: Then are you sending yourself to your deaths? Wei Ruolai: Would you really kill me? (i mean, c'mon shen tunan, even i know you would never, never hurt Wei Ruolai. i think Wei Ruolai knows it too). Shen Tunan: I'm willing to do anything for Kuomintang, you both should know this. Don't test me.

Huang Congyun, listening to the couple fight from outside: =_=

Shen Tunan, Shen Jinzhen, and Wei Ruolai fight. Poor Shen Tunan.

Shen Tunan: Wei Ruolai, you're the student I'm most proud of, and yet you're working for the Communists now! Don't you think I'm sad?!

Ep 34 -> The couple is fighting again. The smell of propaganda is so thick... like, seriously... poor shen Tunan is made into the villain at this point and god i don't like it one bit.

Shen Tunan: Wei Ruolai, do you think I don't dare to kill you? Wei Ruolai: No, I'm just willing to die (sacrifice) for my mission!

There's gunshots and etc. Wei Ruolai keeps urging Shen Tunan to go with him, visit Jiangxi Soviet.

Shen Tunan: Then why did you come here? Wei Ruolai: I wanted to meet the mastermind of Ganzhou. (translation: I wanted to meet you.) Shen Tunan: Well you've met him now, what are you going to do, kidnap him and make him work for the communists? Wei Ruolai: Can't I, sir? *uses puppy dog eyes*

Guys... what the fuck is happening?!

Shen Tunan: I'm sorry, Wei Ruolai. I can't go to Jiangxi Soviet with you. Please come with me. *points gun lovingly at his boi* Shen Jinzhen: Let him go, I can leave with you. Shen Tunan: Shen Jinzhen! Don't think I don't dare to shoot! Shen Jinzhen: Don't keep making mistakes! Let him go and I'll go with you! (Shen Jinzhen you don't understand ah, your brother wants to flirt with his boi... he doesn't want to take you ah). Shen Tunan: *gazes intensely at his boi* Huang Congyun, tired of seeing everyone flirting-slash-fighting: ...fuck i'm right here ok...

Okay where do I start. Shen Tunan tells Huang Congyun to get the car, he points the gun at Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen, telling them to go with him. Now I HAVE TO NOTE that during this entire time, when Huang Congyun pointed a gun at him, when Shen Tunan pointed a gun at him, WEI RUOLAI WAS CHILL. He was so fucking calm. He trusts his xiansheng won't hurt him and even if his xiansheng hurts him Wei Ruolai would gladly endure/receive it.

AND THEN the communist soldiers burst in the room pointing their guns at Shen Tunan, AND WEI RUOLAI PANICS. I mean literally panics. He's like, wait wait don't shoot, DON'T SHOOT!!!!!

Wei Ruolai said "Don't Shoot" three times, and then he said like softly like 2 more times while Shen Tunan is talking to Shen Jinzhen.

Shen Tunan points a gun to his head, he would rather die than betray Kuomintang, Shen Jinzhen and Wei Ruolai plead for him to come with them to Jiangxi, Niu Chunmiao manages to disarm him, taking Shen Tunan with them.

Poor Huang Congyun. Like seriously. He's worried about Shen Tunan being taken away.

Bro... the smell of propag is too much... like come on...

Wei Ruolai: Xiansheng, I'm here to visit you. Shen Tunan: Are you here to laugh at me? Wei Ruolai: No... I want to show you the bank. Show you what me and Jinzhen have been fighting for.

(The way Wei Ruolai looks at his Xiansheng aaaah).

Wei Ruolai shows Shen Tunan around the bank and everything (i have the feeling that Wei Ruolai is kinda showing off in front of his xiansheng ah...). Shen Tunan reflects on everything that he saw...

Chief Lei: The higher ups have decided to execute Shen Tunan. Shen Jinzhen and Wei Ruolai: WTF...

Wei RUolai you better save your xiansheng aahhhhh. Don't forget how he saved you from so many things in the past ahhhh don't you dare let him die aaah

I find it funny that Shen Tunan is always peeking from the outside and then when he sees Wei Ruolai coming he hides his smile and pretends to sit demurely (sulking) on the ground. Like bro... why are you acting like this ahh.. i saw you smiling ah...

Shen Jinzhen and WRL brought food for Shen Tunan. Shen Tunan: What, is this my last supper?

Shen Tunan tells Shen Jinzhen to take care of Cishu and Xiao Yu. (at this point I'm kinda hating shen jinzhen a bit. like come on. your brother is so kind to you and literally always help you and you're so fucking stubborn are you just gonna let him die???)

also wei ruolai, you're my baby but if you let Shen Tunan be executed without doing anything i'm so gonna beat you up.

Shen Tunan: Wei Ruolai, remember that time I saved you from prison despite the great pressure? Please remember this favor and take care of my sister for me. I only have one sister, and I brought her up. I dote on her alot... Please be kind to her.

Wei Ruolai's face is so grim. Shen Jinzhen is crying.

It's so sad omgggg

Shen Tunan: Wei Ruolai, I hope when you think of me in the future, you still see me as the mature, wise mentor... Wei Ruolai: You're not just a mentor to me... you are also like... my husband my older brother (xiongzhang).

Shen Tunan says he regrets not fighting harder against his superiors.

Shen Tunan: If I had fought harder, I might've lost my job... but I wouldn't [have lost you]... my heart wouldn't hurt so much now. Wei Ruolai: Xiansheng, I thought you changed. Fortunately, you didn't.

Shen Tunan: Actually I'm envious of you, Ruolai...

Shen Tunan: Ruolai... I'm so proud of you.

Shen Tunan says he now sees how terrible the Kuomintang is and how much the Communists have done for the people.

Shen Jinzhen: Then are you willing to join us? Shen Tunan: No, I'm a firm believe of the Three Principals... even if this ship sinks, I will sink with it. Wei Ruolai: Xiansheng, the corrupted Kuomintang doesn't deserve your lifelong contributions... Shen Tunan: Don't speak further.

Wei Ruolai cries looking at Shen Tunan... i mean everyone is crying rn.

Shen Tunan managed to escape at night (HOW?? Who helped him??)

Poor Shen Tunan, his daughter is afraid of him QAQ.

Ep 35 -> Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen go to the city to do business (get salt).

Shen Jinzhen visits the hospital (to see Xiao Yu), she sees her brother having a headache... And then she peeks at Xiao Yu while Shen Tunan sees her peeking (these two are really...)

Shen Jinzhen reunites with Xiao Yu... And then chats with Su Cishu, who wants to help Shen Jinzhen.

The two of them work together to get Shen Tunan's notebook (to get his passwords?), i think Shen Tunan purposely put his book there so Jinzhen can find it. Shen Tunan hears Su Cishu talking to Jinzhen.

Shen Tunan watches as Jinzhen boards the train to leave, he and Shen Jinzhen see each other... damn it Shen Tunan's love for his younger sister is just *chef's kiss*. Need an older brother like that.

Lin Qiaosong arrested the people smuggling salt and put arsenic in the salt.

Shen Tunan tells Huang Congyun to send a coded message to the Communists that the salt is poisoned.

Wei Ruolai: Based on what I know of Shen Tunan, he isn't lying about this.

Ep 36 -> WHAT THE FUCK. the communists are holding a conference/expo to show their gold, to pacify the people that yes, they have money, don't worry.

But Lin Qiaosong and his men PUT A BOMB on the stage. The stage fell, and to save the kids Shen Jinzhen protected them with her body, she's crushed under the debris and she's dead (i can't accept it wth).

Shen Tunan (meanwhile) feels his heart hurts.

Shen Tunan gets a letter telling him Jinzhen is dead, he and Cishu are crying and he beats up Lin Qiaosong.

Shen Tunan send his wife and daughter to the docks, Huang Congyun is the one carrying Xiao Yu (so cute haha).

[princess-of-the-corner]

so what was the s1 hiatus era like?

Beautiful chaos?

Like.

We had only Season 1, which was still flawed but had a hell of a lot of promise. We only had so much info. So everyone made things up in terms of both lore and future stories!

Things I remember:

Everyone clocked the Alya = Fox and Chloé = Bee thing. Most people had Nino as the Turtle, but some said he'd get the Peacock somehow based on the clothing theme. If people made him the Turtle, then the Peacock user was up in the air(we saw the Peacock in Gabriel's safe in Volpina, the 'last' episode of Season 1 other than Origins. Though no one knew if it was real or just similar because Plagg didn't react to seeing it at all. Which.... is now a plot hole).

Nathaniel was a bit more prominent in the shipping scene. If you were into mlm you had Adrinath(because fandom prefers mlm white prettyboys so since Luka didn't exist yet Nath was the option). And if you were straight then you had Chlonath.

Speaking of, Luka and Kagami didn't exist yet.

Though it was obvious, we didn't know for sure that Gabriel was Hawkmoth. This led to a few different tropes. Sometimes fics would have an entirely different person be Hawkmoth(sometimes random OC, though Alim Kubdel was a popular choice for 'if it's not Gabe'). I saw a few where that whole 'Peacock in the safe' thing led to Gabriel having been a Hero with it before, and with the Hawkmoth thing he breaks it out to try and help keep the new Heroes safe

There was some speculation on Gabriel and Emilie being Heroes before Canon in general because how did they get the Miraculous and what did they do with them?

We didn't have exact powers for the other Miraculous. We /kinda/ guessed that Volpina was correct and the Fox has Illusions, and the Turtle being a shield made sense. But no one knew what to do with the Bee or Peacock. Also no Hero names existed yet so you'll have variations of those.

The Zodiac Miraculous didn't exist. People creating new Miraculous either yoinked whatever animal(s) they like, or used the old concept art.

Up until the Christmas Special, we had no context for how long Emilie had been 'missing'(a plot in the special is that it's Adrien's first Christmas without his mother). So most people had assumed she'd been missing for a while, not just less than a year.

We also had no idea what happened to her! Did she die? Is she legit missing? What's going on?! (tbh we also didn't know her name. If you read my fics from that era I called her 'Felicia'.)

Speaking of mothers, Chloé's mom was unknown! Some wrote her as dead. I accidentally predicted the 'she had an affair that resulted in a half-sister and abandoned Chloé' bit lmao! Though I didn't predict her being as /actively/ awful as Canon.

Lila was in a weird kind of limbo? Technically the end of Volpina implied she'd come back, but most people kinda forgot about her. People who did write her tended to have it that the events of the episode revealed her lies so the class knew her shit was fake. This resulted in either her being the 'opposite Chloé' where she likes Mari but hates LB, or she dropped the nice act all together and started bullying Marinette either with or instead of Chloé(depending on the writer's ideas of Chloé!Redemption)

Fu's ability as a mentor and overall backstory was up in the air. We knew he was hands-off at first, but we assumed he'd be more directly helpful in Season 2. We know he 'made some disasterous mistake', but we didn't know what it was. A lot of people speculated that he had his own team of Heroes that went sideways.

On that note, the Order of the Guardians wasn't known. We had Fu, but no knoweledge of them or other Miracle Boxes

I thiiiiiink there were more tropes, but I cannot for the life remember them. And tbh reading old fics is a TRIP

[findafight]

Oh I’m going to say something controversial here: I don’t know if the Munson doctrine mattered that much? Like, Eddie grew up in a shit show situation, because of that he can’t graduate properly, Hawkins has only one school so kids like Steve, Nancy and Jason can’t go to the private one, so obviously Eddie was getting like… like everything I think? In terms of bullying? Like the most significant proof is that Jason went straight for murder, and nobody escalates like that from nothing. Jason knew that he theoretically could kill Eddie, that means that they at the very least had conflicts, likely just physically fought each other. I’d like to believe that when Steve was the King Bee it was kind of chill (hence Eddie not knowing for sure if Steve is a jerk but suspecting), but when Billie came, shit must have hit the fan, because Eddie is the second most delicious target for him after Steve. Especially since Eddie even had his very own posse etc. like I’m sure that Eddie didn’t get beaten up like Steve (he is the drug dealer, Billie is not that stupid), but they had conflicts for sure.

But as soon as Eddie is in contact with the jocks that are not here to beat him up, Eddie is very cordial, nice and helpful and invested? Like with Chrissy, immediately he becomes kind and funny and lovely altogether? And with Steve, Eddie is immediately more cordial than Robin was at first, and more cordial than Jonathan ever was. Robin and Jonathan are also the characters who very much buy into the high school drama, with Jonathan being not like other boys and Robin hating Steve because she was jealous. So idk if Eddie actually buys into the doctrine or if it’s there to protect him from making friends with the wrong people.

Re rockstar Eddie: he clearly is a great guitarist and I think he is already well-known in a way, but he is not known for his music. Eddie becoming a teacher in high school or a semi-famous voice actor, maybe a famous fantasy author suits him so much more? Corroded coffin is clearly escapism, but what he is doing and what he is known for is Hellfire. I’m so sad that there are almost zero fics that explore Eddie not magically getting famous, but like. Working. Like and also he would have gone to college, the guy didn’t drop out of high school, come on. He’d be very dramatic about it but he is going. I bet he was supposed to be the first in his family to go to college and that’s half of the “I’m becoming my father” pain that he is clearly experiencing.

I think the Munson Doctrine is definitely sort of just. self defence mechanism. and also completely arbitrary. I think Eddie has a bunch of preconceived notions about "jocks" in general, and absolutely does what he can to protect himself, and is not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt right away, but he also definitely is willing to change his mind? (if they're pretty)(also the Duffers love perpetuating the false jock v nerd dichotomy)Because Lucas is one of "his sheep", yet he isn't actually protective of him specifically because Lucas plays sports, s i think Eddie does hold some resentment in general towards people who play sports. (also yeah Steve was definitely not a tyrant, he just barely registered people who weren't in his orbit, coasted through) He's a bit of a hypocrite tbh, and that's interesting! room for self reflection for him!

I think Robin was at least colder to Steve at the start was her petty personal vendetta against hi, while Eddie just has what he thinks Steve is like. Jon just doesn't like people and then Steve was dating Nancy so obviously he wasn't going to be buddy-buddy with him. And then Nancy left Steve for Jon and that's another reason to avoid him for Jonathan. Eddie's just out here operating on hearsay and Dustin's stevaganda (Steve propaganda)

Jason's mob for Eddie is influenced by Eddie's reputation, but we must remember Jason was already very religious, and his town had gone through a devastating and inexplicable mass casualty event less than a year before, and, of course. His girlfriend's body was found in Eddie's house. (I just made a post about this lol)Given what we see from him, idk if he would have been physically violent towards Eddie before spring break. He certainly may have though Eddie was a freak and a satan worshipper, but that would have been reason, to me, for a good christian bot to steer clear of. Maaaybe he would verbally taunt/insult Eddie. I could absolutely see that. You're right! Eddie had his own posse, so I just don't see Jason trying to beat Eddie up?

Eddie is definitely more of a Dewy School of Rock kind of guy! He would have a lot of odd-jobs i think. love it when he's just doing what I could absolutely see him being a YA fantasy author! idk about college for eddie. Definitely not right after he graduates highschool, but maybe a number of years later? if he did go he would absolutely be over-dramatic about it.

[mdhwrites]

I've once seen a TOH critical post that said the show has too many characters and that some of them should've been combined into fewer characters from the get go:

Amity + Hunter = lesbian/wlw Golden Guard, sassy teen with abusive background who is eventually redeemed

Willow + Gus = Luz's first friend on TBI, very magically powerful for their age

Edric + Emira = trickster illusionist (I don't remember other details besides this-)

And while they haven't been mentioned in the original post I assume Alador and Darius would have to be combined too (as Amity/Hunter's flawed father figure who is proficient at abomination magic) and Odalia would be removed entirely since Belos already serves as the abusive parental figure

I guess other combinations that could work are Boscha + Bria (most antagonistic bully against Willow/Gus) and Skara + Matt (less mean/redeemed bully who later befriends Willow/Gus) though op haven't mentioned them either

What do you think? Personally I have mixed feelings on this idea tbh

So you are taking this too far. The original poster picked their first three pairings for a reason. Those three couples all serve similar narrative functions and pairing the two down to one wouldn't necessarily change a lot, though I think the Hunter one is inaccurate for who to combine and I'll get to that. First let's talk about you taking this too far.

Darius is NOT a father figure for Amity (though if you did combine her and Hunter, he would make sense to be one but now we're rewriting the entire show) and his mastery over abominations is more meant to mean that he is the eventual obstacle who uses abomination magic like all of the Coven Heads were theoretically presented as to begin with. Bria is a one off antagonist who's specific background and the fact that she's unknown to Gus play into the episode and the role she must play. Matt and Skara shouldn't have been combined due to narrative similarities but more to make it so when Skara randomly is now Willow's friend, it feels natural AT ALL which is more a problem of TOH reusing Skara without realizing who they're reusing in that episode besides her being a character people liking the design of.

And that last part also can often justify a one off character. Vee overall serves effectively no purpose to the overall story but she's good for her one episode and inspired a lot of people. A charismatic rando can be good for your fandom. It allows more variety in who they can use, be attached to and what stories by the community can be made. MLP did this too with the BILLION BACKGROUND PONIES.

BUT.

TOH does have a primary cast problem and a redundancy problem within it. The problem isn't combining characters though, it's that some just had to be straight up cut. It just has WAY too many that are cued as important as one could argue the primary cast, who we're told is important, ranges from 7 (the Hexside Squad/Eda/King) to 9 (including Lilith and Belos). Even a full 3 seasons of 20 episodes would only have allowed an average of almost 7 episodes per character and Amity gets that many episodes in Season ONE. Anyways, onto the three pairings:

I've already argued in the past that Hunter is redundant to literally THREE characters in the show and does each of their jobs WORSE. The parental issues and redemption of Amity, the connection to the EC and having power that Lilith did in S1 (which means S2's 'main plot' with Hunter does come across as a copy of S1 as a note but less personal) and then the fear of exile of Kikimora but not nearly as over the top since we're supposed to at least slightly respect Hunter. Hunter's existence is part of why Lilith has to infantilized and mocked as much as she is because otherwise, she'd be gunning for Belos by her S1 characterization but that would get in the way of Hunter being the main connection against the enemy. All of his scenes with Belos are just "Be a good pawn." "Okay but what if I'm not?" "Be a good pawn" repeated like three times. It's such a basic and shallow relationship that when Belos isn't around for Sport in a Storm, Darius can easily just replace Belos in getting Hunter to do something by effectively the same means that Belos would have.

I've also talked about how Gus and Willow need one of them replaced. Not fully cut like Hunter who I think was just a mistake to add in S2 but that one of them needed to be Viney. This is more because Viney at least practices multiple magics and so could show a different side of how the coven system effects young witches, like she does in her one main episode, while Gus/Willow could have been the evangelist. Admittedly, you could also have cut both Gus and Willow for Viney and made Amity the evangelist for the coven system due to inherent skill in only one magic. It fits into the theoretical thematics, worldbuilding and story of the show. As it stands, Willow, Gus and Amity as the three kids Luz befriends is awkward because they imply Belos is right. Willow effectively CAN'T cast other types of magic from what we've seen but can rival a coven head WITHOUT TRAINING OR PRACTICE so long as she's using plant magic. That's bad. That's just bad, unless Belos is right and Willow is a chosen one to be the next plant Coven Head.

On the flipside... There's no reason to cut Emira or Edric. They're effectively one character and practically one offs. They get one more B plot after their introduction and are good comedy in Adventure in the Elements but otherwise they barely exist. Not only that but they always exist as a pair. Edric gets his own thing to do in Reaching Out but that's the closest we come to individual character development besides the differences in their personality which make them fun for fandom. Otherwise... They most exist to give Amity support and to give Amity someone to talk to which is the purpose of a supporting cast to a supporting member. Fusing them wouldn't do anything but make them less unique honestly since we don't see many twins in media.

Then again, they also might be twins because of Fred and George because the show mocks Harry Potter while obviously taking PLENTY of inspiration from it.

But Harry Potter had FOUR primary characters. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Voldemort and Voldemort, like Belos, was an absentee villain. We were only ever supposed to expect those three characters to be important and get development though with only MAYBE two exceptions in Snape and Dumbledore. That focus benefited it from book one to book seven, loathe as I am to praise Rowling's writing.

It is a page TOH should have considered taking from because its twin pair of main casts (Hexide Squad and The Owl House) only joined by one character did it no favors, before or after the shortening.

“Tbh, thanks to a "certain site", I never understood the massive popularity and love for 90’s Rei/Sailor Mars. Not only she was a complete bully to Usagi/Serena up to StarS, but she was a complete bitch in her entire arc with Mamoru/Darien and always blamed others for everything, even when it was HER fault. I understand that Usagi wasn't the most mature or understanding growing up, and I know not everything has to be all sunshine and rainbows all the time in a team, but Rei just straight up always disrespected her FUTURE QUEEN, even when she had reasons for crying or being sad sometimes (especially with the whole Demande thing in the 90′s anime. Heck, Sailor Moon has even bung people (even HER) back to life countless of times!

People can say what they want about Manga/Crystal's Sailor Mars and about her not having a personality (which I do agree to a certain degree), but she BARELY was an ass to Usagi or just in general. Sure, she did had her nice moments throughout the series, but at her best, she was ok, but at her worst, she was THE ABSOULATE WORST. I personally was always an Ami/Sailor Mercury fan, but Sailor Mars is extremely overrated in my opinion.”

CONCLUSIONS!

Fun as hell! But i did feel a tinge disappointed that rose and the nobles aren’t that developed (and Shirley as well).

I think The Point and The Message is a bit clumsily delivered, but overall the writers’ hearts are in the right place and it does work philosophically for where (I think?) the series is going next. As a ~Trial Of A TimeLord Enjoyer~ the bit where 14 puts on a wig made me go feral.

The meep is well realized but tbh I don’t think the OG story is that strong? And I think my Hot Take is….. I think that a straight-forward story wasn’t super compatible with all the mechanics and logistics and exposition that this “fix fic-ing the doctordonna” story necessitates. So the whole thing feels kinda bogged down by having to be a recap.

Finally… I think the resolution feels a bit too... mechanical? because Rose is not developed / put as the POV at the start, it’s not enough of an emotional thrill to see her saving the day (other than like, idk, if I interpret Rose Noble triumphing being a metaphor for Donna’s life being complete when she has her own life but also the doctor back again (?)).

[aliferousdreamer]

@livingincolorsagain Okay, so first of all:

Seriously though, unforunately it looks like I can no longer answer your long-awaited ask because I just saved my response to your inbox in the drafts and apparently that just deleted both your ask and my answer?!?! It looks like it's just been completely gone for no reason?!?!?!?! Tumblr: WHY????????? (Btw this is my shorter back up draft so luckily I at least have this lol)

Now... I cannot say this enough... I'M SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO BLOODY LONG to do this. I think it has taken me about 1 ½ years to do this?!?! I'm so freaking embarrassed omfg. There really is no good excuse for why it has taken so freaking long. I remember that I have at least a few drafts that I made, but then my drafts became like this-

-and then I either forgot about it completely or got overwhelmed when I couldn't find any of the drafts and just abandoned it. My ability to just "nope" out of anything and procrastinate for eternity is unmatched.

Btw: I'm gonna censor most of the fandom/character/ship names (even the ones I like) because 1. I don't want to attract people who feel the need to argue with me (because I cba I really cba) and 2. I don't want to offend anyone who likes those things. It's gonna look super silly with *s everywhere but I don't have the energy for any heated discussions or arguments.

-

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Ooh I have several squicky ships that I do get but I just don't feel them at all and have negative connotations associated with them... It's not exactly an answer to the question but it is what I first thought of.

Pre 2020 me didn't like Harm*one as a ship (in H*rry P*tter). Nowadays I don't interact with the fandom so I don't care but I still have negative associations with that ship and its fans.

I don't have any positive associations with Cl*uis (in TW*DG) because of bigotry.

I understand the appeal of E*yam (from C*kur) but it's a toxic, abusive, insulting mess like its fanbase. Man, I'm so glad C*kur ended in 2021 so I could leave that show and its fans behind.

I also used to feel more negative towards R*xi (from E*phoria) as a ship because of shippers' attitudes towards J*les/R*les but since F*xi became really popular I don't see nearly as much of that ship anymore.

I'll explain the reasonings more in the next question because the answers in both questions are pretty similar.

Also, to sprinkle some positivity amongst my mostly critical answers, here are some OTPs that I do like:

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

Again, this applies to me pre 2020, but I still remember that I used to somewhat like Harm*one as a ship from H*rry P*tter, but yeah... the portion of toxic fans who were super hateful and bitter and straight up mean towards R*n and G*nny.

I used to like L*ouis and sorta like Cl*uis from TW*DG but the homophobic/lesbophobic/biphobic fans have pretty much turned me off from the ship completely. This doesn't really apply to fans on here, moreso YouTube fans who are just The Worst tbh.

Similarly I used to like E*sun from C*kur and back in season 3 but E*yam fans (particularly on Twitter and YouTube) were just horrible. I remember being civil and polite and considerate to every single one I encountered but they were awful and one fan even wished death on my family when I had said nothing to warrant such a bizarre comment lol. They were also The Worst towards D*lan D*niz and their relentless bullying campaign against her from 2019-2021 (but I saw a few months ago that they're still hating on her in 2023 ffs), all because she was a "threat" to their toxic ship. Man, I'm so glad their ship flopped in C*kur's finale, even if it was upsetting to see them being more hateful towards D*lan. They deserved some karma after being some of the worst fans I've ever had the misfortune of seeing.

Again for positivity's sake, here are some characters I do like:

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

Unlike seemingly most of the fans on here, I like El*ven getting with M*ke in Str*nger Th*ngs. I will never understand why M*leven is so hated. She can be both independent and in a relationship, and I don't see how that's such an unpopular take. Sure, there are issues with codependency, miscommunication and lying but considering what those kids have been through, is it any surprise?! They've both been through so much trauma, both together and separately, so no wonder they don't always go about the things the "best" way. I'd cut them both some slack (especially El*ven considering the hell she's endured all her life that has stunted her growth). Also, I feel like fans are way too harsh of them because aren't they supposed to be around 14 in season 4?!?! I'd say that they're remarkably mature for their age. I will admit that I like them less than I used to after season 4 but tbf there are several characters/relationships that I like less because of season 4. I like other ships like B*ler and E*max but I don't see why liking them should almost become synonymous with hating M*leven.

On another note, this scene >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

-

Again I'm so sorry this took so long, and that this version of my answer isn't the final one that I wanted to send (because Tumblr just erased the original one lmao).

Thank you so, so much for checking up on me and being so kind and sweet to me, even when I haven't responded or showed the gratitude that I should do!!!! I hope you're doing really well!!!!!! <3

[nami-lvr]

Correct OP: Part 4

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 |

Ft: Enel, Katakuri, Big Mom, Kidd, Arlong, and Yamato (last part)

A/N: I absolutely hate half the people who are on here and if you guess them I’ll give you a kissy kiss on the cheek 😛 and this one was definitely super hard to write. Like I had to re-write Enel and Karakuri and big mom like 8 times because IDK ABOUT THEM BRUH! I also only thought of guys for this but then remembered big mom so 💀

Enel

Has a god complex

An “alpha male”

Definitely somewhat respectful

Always makes the goofiest faces ever just to mane people laugh

Loves hearing others laugh

Kind of controlling guy

Not very go-with-the-flow at all IMO

Katakuri

Incredibly respectful gentleman

Will hold the door for women

Will pull your chair out for you

If you fall he will ask if you’re ok and help you up

Calls every older woman “Aunt” and every older man “Uncle” as a form of respect

Will never insult you no matter how annoying he finds you

Probably tried out neopronouns

Big Mom

Doesn’t mind the LGBTQ

Supports it actually

Tried dating a woman and she liked it just fine

Would read her kids bedtime stories

Her favorite color is like a hot pink

She loves heart shaped things

Kidd

Definitely a homophobic straight cis man

Would also be transphobic

I feel like his nose would be way bigger than its drawn.

Like a crooked and hooked nose

Definitely has dyslexia

100% would be a school bully from the 90’s and think hes the shit

Tried out a mohawk as a kid

Dresses punk and emo most of the time

Writes poems

Sorry he would also fuck as a power move just like crocodile

Like he would definitely be aroace! But want the power yk

Woman beater

Not sorry for shitting on this guy he sucks

Arlong

I never liked Arlong

Never cared for him

I am going to be so honest I forgot about him!

But I will put this out there: He has a butterfly tattoo on his left asscheek that he hides from everyone.

Yamato

Ok but SERIOUSLY HE IS SO GORGEOUS

No doubt that his love language is physical touch and words of affection

Literally so adorable

Probably friends with the ASL brothers if I’m being fr

I mean he is intrigued by Luffy so Sabo probably intrigues him too

Not much for him BUT!! I think he’s one of those trans people who don’t get dysphoria from having long hair and tbh I think he loves it!

[bisluthq]

No, because it's so weird he can't even post his little silly photodump without causing a commotion among swifties, who say he's so irrelevant yet act like they have his notifs on and take screenshots of what he posts. His name ended up on the trends thing on Twitter 💀 I actually saw someone posting a screenshot of a gc she's in where they were mocking him for the golf clip. I mean????

But I saw something even more ridiculous to me because it's highkey coming from a place of privilege and entitlement. I saw a tweet (and it wasn't one of those with 10 likes and no comments. There actually were hundreds of likes and people on the comments joining the op on their mockery), where this person was laughing at Joe because of the phone he took a photo with.

And you might be thinking what's the fun about that? Well op thought it was fun that she has a more recent phone model than him, so she was like even I have a better phone that's how poor he is. And people in the comments were commenting the phones they have aswell and laughing about how his phone is an old model cause Taylor must have given it to him and hahahaha even I bought a better phone and he didn't.

Like can y'all stop to ponder the absurdity of it all? According to them his phone is a 11 whatever idk much about or care about phones myself, and you are bragging cause you have a 12, 14 etc? And you are calling someone poor and equating someone's value over the phone they have? Like jesus that's the kind of bullying kids do it in schools, you are grown adults and still have this kind of elitism? So Joe seems to have a perfectly working phone and he's in the wrong for not wasting his money on a better model, because people on the internet think that's what you should do even if you don't need it? You are the dumb ones if you keep giving money to millionaire companies, just so you fit in or whatever

but I’ve said many times swifties’ attitude to money baffles the fuck out of me. That’s not even high school bullying - that’s like straight up middle school bullying. Fwiw my partner and I both have the 11 too (weird coincidence but yea neither of us has upgraded). He’s super techy but like there’s nothing he needs a newer phone for tbh because he wouldn’t be able to work off even a 14 Max Pro or w/e (he has an iMac and a desktop PC and he has like a very new iPad that he can do some stuff off of when we travel but also mostly because he needed a new iPad lol because his was really fuck old so then idk he bought himself a new one). Unless you’re working off your phone/an influencer there is no reason to get a new phone. It can do pretty much all the same things, the 14’s camera is just a lot better. But like Joe doesn’t need to use his phone for work and even for his very hobby photography seems to prefer his film ones so like?? Why must he upgrade?? And I’m not saying if you did upgrade even though you don’t need it because idk your shiny new phone makes you happy that’s bad or shallow because silly little materialistic things are allowed to make us happy tbh. What I’m saying is it’s VERY middle school to bully someone for having a perfectly adequate thing just because you’ve got a newer or more expensive thing?? Now ALSO because Joe isn’t actually in any way poor like if he had let’s say a Galaxy A13 I’d have a chuckle about it and be like “mate buy a new phone come the fuck on” because like… the Galaxy A13 can’t even support Google Pay right and a functioning person with a decent job in this here year 2024 should be able to pay with their phone places (this is actually not a fictional example lol a friend of mine who can absolutely afford a new phone has an A13 and I laugh at her about it because there are legit so many things it cannot do but she’s very paranoid and technophobic so like the Google Pay thing for example she’s all like “yes but what happens if your phone gets stolen then all your money can be stolen” and I’m always like “not… really?” and idk her and I went to a bar the one time and she hadn’t brought her card because she’s also parry about THAT when she drinks which actually I do understand because that I’m also careful about because like losing your card can really be a nightmare seeing as how you then need a new card and all the saved card details everywhere disappear and you no longer have Apple/Google Pay etc etc etc so yes that would highkey suck and is why I just use my phone instead and have my cards at home and anyway the bar turned out to be cashless so I had to pay the whole tab - with my phone like a NORMAL FUCKING PERSON - and she did give the cash right away but still that’s like dysfunctional af lol babe JUST BUY A NEW FUCKING PHONE!!!! YOU HAVE A GOOD JOB!!!! YOU CAN AFFORD IT!!!!!!) anyway that was a sidebar but yea if Joe legit had a crappy phone then I would possibly be like “come tf on dude get your shit together pretty much anyone with a normal income can afford a better thing than that and your thing is objectively useless” but he has a perfectly adequate thing??? So what’s the conversation even about?????? PS if you legit can’t afford a nice phone that’s also not something to mock. But my friend can absolutely afford a phone that supports Google Pay/Apple Pay and she’s being weird about it so I’m allowed to mock it. Also she’s actually super into like photography for fun and I’ve tried to explain the camera on her phone is also like very shitty and it’d be better with a new phone but she steadfastly refuses and uses a digital camera instead mostly which idk man idk like I’d get it if it were film but it’s a random ass mid range digital camera and THAT she’ll take out with us like we live in fucking 2008 dudes and then she makes a whole song and dance the next day about “sending everyone the pics” exactly like it’s 2008 again. That shit’s weird. She’s a weird girl. Still nothing she does is as weird as Swifties get when talking about money tho.

Adding some emo squad loving to this blog..

So, here's O-Ren's friend group most likely to like a certain type of S/O +Explainations

(A/N: subtracting Rini and adding Pearl because Rini is 12 and Pearl needs more love!)

A Typical Shy, Soft But Kindhearted Person..

1. Pearl

2. O-Ren

3. Howl

4. Kai

5. Harmony

Pearl and you would make the best Hyper X Shy duo, and she'd probably think you were so cute!! Probably straight up adopted you like you were one of her axolots.

O-Ren would probably admire your kind heart and wouldn't mind your shyness too much, just definitely thinks you're a good person and that's all that matters.

Howl wouldn't care about that too much either, she'd try to talk for you and help you out even if she struggles herself.

The reason I put Kai and Harmony at the bottom isn't because they straight up couldn't work or wouldn't like a shy S/O, but rather they'd just do better with a more direct, assertive person.

A Typical Bimbo girl that's stupid but gorgeous and overall sweet:

1. Pearl

2. Kai

3. O-Ren

4. Howl

5. Harmony

Pearl and you would end up being stupid besties, and I honestly think that's who Pearl does the best with! You guys would just go on dumb adventures together, and honestly it would just be a happy bubbly relationship.

Kai would roll his eyes at you a lot, you see how he views Summer, but that's mostly because Summer's insane (in a good way!) But if your actions are sweet enough and he deems you as brave and strong, he'd get over it and be able to love you regardless of your intelligence or style.

O-Ren would be pretty indifferent. She probably wouldn't be interested unless you pursued her, and then she'd give you a chance. Her patience may thin with you at times and she may accidentally treat you like a kid a lot, which can be demeaning, but she loves you the same.

Howl and Harmony would find you intolerable tbh. Constantly bullies your style, voice, smartness.. I think Howl would maybe be able to overlook it at some point it you and her got closer, but it would take a lot.

No chance with Harmony.. sorry!

The Cute, Sassy, Stubborn Tsundere!

1. Harmony

2. Kai

3. Howl

4. O-Ren

5. Pearl

Harmony would do so good with you, she loves fiesty people that can stand up for themselves, thus why she likes herself and Rocky. A lot of your relationship would be bickering, but I think you'd love each other like no other. Couples Goals.

Kai and you would be too similar, you may butt heads a lot, but I think you'd be able to find some middle ground and become very close and form a nice, stable relationship.

Howl probably finds you adorable and tries to pursue you instantly. I think a tsundere would get annoyed with Howl easily and her reckless behavior, so that's really the only reason she's so low. And I also don't know how the dynamic could work.

O-Ren may find you annoying at times, but respect you a ton for your bravery and assertiveness. A relationship could work with her, but she'd attempt to hold you back a ton, therefore making some tension..

I'm sorry, but I think Pearl would think youre just so rude! You'd make fun of her axolots and sass her! You're just like Rocky!! *she pouts*

THATS IT LOL

[munvermaniac]

i am curious so i have to ask how do you think a secret relationship would come about between them? does jason buy from him on occasion so that secret slowly builds into another one? do they fight and end up making out which leads into them realizing they've been pulling each other's pigtails this whole time? have they always known each other but drifted apart because of the different paths they took in high school? i have to know

Tbh didn’t really have a plan for how exactly a secret relationship would come about when I answered the other asks, I just thought it’d be cute, but I do have a few ways I think it could play out based on some of my own headcanons.

This is gonna be kind of a long one, so buckle up.

Some Basics

What I see in the canon of the show is less that Jason’s bullying Eddie and more that they have equal power, just in different places. Jason’s their moral king during the day, but Eddie’s the one you go to for sin.

Jason gives rousing inspirational speeches about the importance of purity and honor, Eddie knows the best places to smoke up and is the one you go to for weed or others. Equal power, different places.

ALSO! For all of these “au”s I’m kind of pushing Chrissy to the side for now. I don’t think Jason would ever knowingly cheat on Chrissy because I think he really did try his best in the show. I’m kind of slotting her as Jason’s best friend who everyone assumes he’s dating, but it’s up to interpretation. Maybe she’s dead? Maybe she doesn’t exist? Maybe they’re each other’s beards? (chrissy/robin ftw) Who knows.

1. Enemies with Benefits:

They’re probably in the gym after school fighting and Jason shoves Eddie against a wall and they just kind of stay there for a second, then they’re kissing. Then, they’re going back to Eddie’s trailer and doing... more.

They kind of keep that agreement for a while, and both of them are slowly falling for each other. Obviously, both of these lovestruck dumbfucks aren’t going to ever admit that to each other, so they keep making excuses to see each other, like the Jacket Debacle.

Eventually, the truth comes out that they both want more from the relationship, and they start actually dating. Only outside of school, of course. If Hellfire saw Eddie fraternizing with the enemy after everything he said about them, they’d probably skin him, and Jason’s situation would be about five times worse lol.

2. Smoke Buddies:

I didn’t actually think of this one before reading your ask and honestly I kind of like it. Jason, due to some stressful situation, has to go to Eddie for some weed to calm himself down. I see Jason as the kind of person to want nothing to do with any drugs except in really bad situations.

So, like Chrissy, Jason goes to Eddie to get drugs, and also like Chrissy, Eddie can tell something’s wrong. Eddie would probably be very suspicious at first and Jason would definitely hate having to buy from him, but I think they’d get closer over time.

To be completely honest, most of this idea is from Coping by Vanemis, but I think it’s such a neat idea to have a kind of role reversal like that. Whether Jason experiences trauma like in Vanemis’ fic (personally, I’m a bit of an angst fan, so that’s my choice) or he just really needs to de-stress is up to interpretation. Hell, maybe Chrissy pushes Jason to go to Eddie.

3. The BlueMond4y Method:

This is a fairly straightforward one that comes directly from BlueMond4y’s Straight to Hell, Boys on ao3 (ps: the sequel’s in progress rn and it’s pretty heckin’ good). Basically, the fic follows canon except Eddie survives and Jason never has the fight with Lucas (I’m pretty sure).

They get a few week’s detention with each other after an argument in school and slowly become friends and fall in love! So I guess this method is that after Chrissy dies, they’re kind of “forced” to become friends by being essentially thrown together. It’s fun.

This is less an exact au and more a structure for an au, though. Like, this could apply to both Smoke Buddies and Enemies with Benefits, but I see this route being much more Chrissy-centric. Jason definitely loved Chrissy, and it’s up to yall whether or not Eddie loved Chrissy too, or was childhood friends with her, etc.

4. Childhood Friends:

My personal fave. I’m a sucker for fluff okay??? In this “universe” Eddie and Jason are the same age and Eddie doesn’t get held back (because Jason helps him study). They met probably in kindergarten or elementary school, and became really good friends who are totally crushing on each other.

They definitely play fight and needle each other a ton, and by the time they’re all in high school, everyone thinks it’s serious because of how different they are. Jock and freak, couldn’t possibly be friends. They both have their own friend groups, but hang out with each other outside of school.

So, they decide just to go along with it. Half because they think it’s funny, but half so that they can keep being friends with each other while not being ostracized by their groups. After that, it can go two ways. On an au of it’s own (which I really like) the lines between playful and actual fighting get blurred until they’re not sure if they’re really friends any more for peak drama.

For the Jacket Debacle they’d probably just be thinking that the whole situation is hilarious. Jason takes it a bit more seriously, but they definitely value their relationship more than the groups at school.

So... uh, thanks for coming to my ted talk. This was a hella big post but it was honestly super fun to write!

✩ A/N: kinktober day 10: marking/biting!! we're gonna pretend that i'm not 8 days late with this lmfaooo.. but anyways, i've been watching pointcrow's playthrough of skyward sword recently and i absolutely fell in love with the game. tbh, this is far more fluffy than kinky, but it fills the prompt, so deal with it lol. this was heavily inspired by art from @pawthko! specifically this ss zelink work from july! (i hope you don't mind me tagging you!) ✩

One of these days, Groose is gonna work Link’s last nerve, and that’ll be the end of the damn bastard. Link’s just fucking had it at this point. All he talks about is how he and Zelda are going to have a ‘special moment’ on the Goddess statue after he wins the Loftwing Race. Yeah, Groose actually believes that he’ll win, which is crazy in itself. If he even touches her, Link swears that he’ll punch him into next week. He doesn’t care if it’s an innocent touch, either! Groose will have to think twice about touching what doesn’t belong to him.

Wait, no, that’s wrong. Link hasn’t worked up enough courage to ask Zelda out yet. Regardless if they’re dating or not, Zelda isn’t property; she can’t belong to him. It’s just that Link can’t help but daydream about how she would look with hickeys strewn about the column of her neck, brazenly advertising that she was off-limits. Link would never let them fade away, always keeping one or two a nice dark red. He can’t help but imagine what it’d feel like to press Zelda’s small frame against a wall, his hands pinning hers above her head, to feel the quick rise and fall of her chest against his. It seemed weird having these feelings for Zelda—his childhood friend—no less. He guesses that they’ve always been there in one form or another. Being with Zelda just felt right to him, like it was his destiny to be the one allowed to marry her.

But none of that can happen if Link never confesses his feelings towards her.

Link was able to make it through most of the day without running into Groose, thankfully. When it came time for the Wing Ceremony, Groose and his underlings were already there, chatting amongst themselves. It didn’t take long for the redheaded bully to notice Link’s appearance, however. “You ready to lose, pretty boy?” Groose taunts, walking over to where Link was standing. “I’d hate to be you after the race! Standing around sulking since Zelda’s with me on the Goddess statue, alone and having a special moment with me instead of you. You better get it through that thick, ugly head of yours, Link!” he sneers. “Don’t think your crush on her is any secret ‘round here, Link! Everyone knows about how you fell in love with your ‘childhood friend’,” Groose made finger quotes for emphasis, “It’s so cute that you think someone that out of your league could ever fall for you, even if you did grow up together. We all know that your precious Zelda’s gonna be on my arm, never giving you a goddamn second thought!”

That was all it took for Link to snap and smack Groose straight across his face. It left a red handprint on his cheek, the color rivaling his hair. Groose brought a hand up to his pinkened cheek in shock; Link’s never hit anything—or anyone for that matter—before! “Keep your mouth shut before you lose the ability to open it again. You’re not the one that dictates who she can or can’t have feelings for. Zelda’s plenty capable of deciding for herself. She needs no help from the likes of your sorry ass.” Groose was about to fling his fist at him but was rudely interrupted by Zelda and Owlan’s timely arrival.

She ran to Link, ignoring everyone else, excitedly taking his hands in hers. She was close enough that their foreheads could touch, their noses bumping against each other sometimes. A sweet smile adorned her pretty face, causing her blue eyes to shine even more than they already are. “Sorry I’m late, Link. It took a bit longer than expected to finish your—I mean—the gift for the ceremony. I didn’t want to miss watching you race.” Having Zelda so close to him made Link’s heart beat faster, his face flushing slightly too.

Link rests his forehead against hers, lovingly gazing down at her, taking in all of Zelda’s beauty. Her soft golden hair flows down her slim shoulders, stopping at the small of her back. It framed her face perfectly, extenuating just how flawless she was. How did Link ever manage to get so lucky? “It’s okay, princess. All that matters is you’re here now.” Link manages to shimmy his hands out of her grip, setting them on her waist instead. His thumbs quickly found a place to rub circles into her hips, subsequently pulling the pair closer together. She didn’t complain, simply wrapping her arms around Link’s shoulders. “I’ll make sure to win for you. Can’t let my gift go to someone else,” he teases her with a playful smirk.

“You’ll win, I’m sure of it,” Zelda reassures him before pecking his cheek innocently. She plays with the golden-brown hair at the base of Link’s neck, slipping it in between her fingers. It sent shivers down his spine, the blush dusting his cheeks deepening. The bell tower started to ring, harshly interrupting their supposedly platonic conversation and announcing the start of the race. “That’s our queue, Link. See you on the statue later?” she asks, pulling away from Link’s grasp.

Link was hesitant to let her go, but he knew he had to. Every moment with her in his arms felt like they were the only two people in the world who mattered. But to Link, Zelda truly is the only person who matters. “Of course you will, princess.” He watched her walk away until he couldn’t see her anymore, a look of pure love plastered all over his face. The spot where Zelda kissed his cheek tingles. It’s official: Link’s never washing that cheek ever again for as long as he lives.

The race lasted not even thirty minutes, Link crossing the finish line miles ahead of Groose and his cronies. Groose was whining up a storm, but he congratulated Link on his win since it was part of the rules. With the bird statuette in tow, Link flies to the Goddess statue, where Zelda is waiting for him. He’s quick to bring her into a big hug once he lands, relishing in how Zelda’s head nestles perfectly into the crook of his neck. “I told you I’d win, princess,” he whispers, pushing a stray hair back behind her ear. But in all honesty, it was just an excuse to touch her face.

Zelda’s small hands clenched the fabric of his shirt, pulling him impossibly closer. “You flew so well, Link. I’m so proud of you.” Hearing her say she was proud of him causes Link to tighten his grip on her, the gentle embrace morphing into a bear hug. “I’m so proud of my Chosen Hero.” Zelda kisses his cheek again. “Regardless if you had won today or not, you’ve always been—and always will be—my one and only hero.”

“And the Chosen Hero will always and forever love his Princess.” Link rests his forehead against Zelda’s like before. His free hand squeezes her small waist, the other cupping Zelda’s face, his thumb stroking her cheekbone. The amount of udder adoration Link has for her is immeasurable. How was it possible for one girl to be so goddamn beautiful?

She giggles softly, leaning into his warm hand. “I’m not a princess, Linky. You’re the Chosen Hero, and I’m s’possed to be the Goddess.” A blush quickly settled across her cheeks, the color matching her dress nicely. She met Link’s gaze, smiling at how blatantly flustered he was. It was cute seeing him trying not to trip over his words.

“I’m not talking to the Goddess right now, Zelda.” Now she knew he was serious; Link next to never uses her given name; it’ always was a nickname from him. “I’m talking to you.” Link’s boots slotted themselves between Zelda’s fuzzy ones, the air around them growing tenser the closer they got to each other. “You’ve always been my princess; I’ve called you that since we were kids. At first, it was just ‘cause I had a hard time saying Zelda,” he chuckles, eyes fluttering over her face nervously. The tip of Link’s nose brushed against hers, making Zelda giggle again. “But now, I’ve been thinking about how a princess eventually needs to find her prince,” Link cranes his head back, anxiously running a hand through his hair. It didn’t take long for it to return to Zelda’s cheek, though.

She presses her palm against his chest, grounding Link back in reality and pushing any anxiety left out of his body. “It’s okay, whatever it is, you can tell me. I love you; you’re my best friend. You can share everything and anything with me; I won’t judge you.”

‘You’re my best friend.’

It rang through Link’s head just like the bell tower does, but worse. The moment the words came off Zelda’s lips, a gut-wrenching pain blooms in his chest as if someone were stabbing from the inside. He doesn’t want only to be her best friend; he wants to be her prince. Link wants to be the person to make the nickname complete. Will she not want to be his friend anymore after he tells her? Will she think he’s weird for harboring these feelings? Link panicked, taking his hand away from Zelda’s face before speaking. “I slapped Groose before the race today. He kept talking shit about you, about how he was gonna be the one up here with you. He kept talking about you like you’re some fucking object to be won, then kept on a shelf somewhere and admired from afar. So I smacked him.”

Zelda gasps, a look of pure shock plastered on her face. “Link! Language! You don’t curse, much less in front of the Goddess! And secondly, you hit Groose?! You don’t hit people; you’ve never hit anything! Sure, he gets on my nerves too, but there’s never a situation that can’t be fixed with communication!”

“Well, what am I supposed to do when he’s mocking me?! All I’ve ever done is stand there and take his grief, but hearing him talk about how I don’t deserve you made me lose it, okay?!” Link backs away from her in an attempt to not scream directly in her face. Fear washes over him, and suddenly, he wants to be anywhere but here. They’ve never fought before. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Zelda, please forgive me!” Link’s voice cracks at the end of his plea, tears welling up in his eyes. Balled fists came up to wipe them away aggressively. “What am I supposed to do when all he talks about is how my feelings for you don’t matter?” It was barely a whisper; if the wind was any louder, Zelda would’ve missed it completely.

Throughout the entirety of their friendship, Zelda has never seen Link cry. Not once. Link skinned his knee on the pavement once when they were eight and didn’t shed a tear, nor when he fell down the stairs when he was ten. But this was what made him cry? It seemed odd, Groose being the catalyst for Link’s bottled-up emotions to finally be released. Why would Link ever think his feelings towards her didn’t matter? She’s quick to pull him in a warm hug, rubbing his back soothingly. “Link, sweetheart, your feelings always matter! Why would you ever let Groose of all people convince you they didn’t?”

Link buries his face in her soft hair, breathing in the scent of her coconut shampoo. “He kept tellin’ me you’re out of my league. That no one this beautiful could ever like me,” he mumbles, arms wrapped tightly around her. “Hey, princess?”

“Hm?”

It took all of Link’s courage to swallow the lump in his throat. He prays to Hylia that this doesn’t fuck everything up. “I want to be the person lucky enough to marry and grow old with you. I want to be more than just your best friend. I want to show the whole world that you’re mine and I’m yours,” he met her eyes again, “Can I be your prince?” Link watches as the gears turn in her head, processing everything he told her.

Without hesitation, Zelda yanks him down by his shirt collar, stealing his first kiss. Her hands tangle themselves in his hair, keeping Link from pulling away. Not like he wanted to. After the initial shock passes, he kisses her back eagerly. His fingers worm their way into her hair, holding the back of her head as she did to him. Link pushes her against the cold ornate wall of the statue, careful not to hurt her.

“Link—!” she gasps against his mouth, giving Link the perfect opportunity to make out with her. “Link—! Hold on a minute!” Link stops immediately, not daring to overstep her boundaries. “You want to be my prince? You’re not messing with me, right?”

He nods. “I’m in love with you, Princess. Always have been.”

She kisses him again, but softer this time. “I love you too, Link,” she giggles, “Who would’ve thought that my Hero would also be my prince?” Zelda kisses all over Link’s face, pulling a happy giggle from him too. “Were you worried that I’d end up marrying Groose?”

Link nods bashfully, rubbing the back of his neck with his palm. “I was worried that you’d think my feelings for you were weird or somethin’, ‘cause we’re best friends and all. I didn’t want to ruin what we had by confessing how I felt.” Now it was Link’s turn to lean down and kiss her. It wasn’t nearly as hungry as the first one, instead gentle and loving. Their noses brush against each other, causing them both to laugh. “But I’m sure glad I did.”

“Me too. I don’t know how much longer I could keep dropping hints at you, Linky,” Zelda said with a coy smile. “You really had no idea that I felt the same way?”

A dumb look washes over Link’s face. “You were dropping hints?”

Zelda just shook her head with a small laugh and a sigh. “Never change, Linky. You’re too cute for this world.” She leans on the stone behind her, gazing up at him with her big blue eyes. The position made her feel even smaller compared to him than she actually was. The atmosphere surrounding them changed from an innocent one to a heated one. “So…do you wanna continue from where we left off?”

Link nods, pressing himself against her lithe frame. “Mhmm, but there’s one thing I wanna do first if you’ll let me.” He holds her hips, fingers spreading across her sides, fingertips ghosting at her rib cage. “Let me mark you as mine. So you can show the entirety of Skyloft that you’re spoken for.” The moment Link asked, his pointy ears turned a deep shade of red. He squeezes her waist gently, trying his best to express the feelings that refused to form themselves into words. “I’ve heard guys talk about how hot it is seeing their—” he lingers for a moment, “—partner with hickeys covering their necks. Makes me think that if I gave you some, Groose would stop bothering me about it.”

“Hmm, does that mean I’m your girlfriend now, Hero?” she teases, twirling a lock of golden hair between her slim fingers.

The way her head tilts to the side absolutely just tortures Link. There’s enough room to cover her pale skin with marks that’ll take weeks just to start fading away. Link’s desperate to show the world that Zelda is his and his alone. “I’d like you to be my girlfriend. No, I’d really really like it if you were my girlfriend. I could take you out on dates, and we can have a sleepover and stay up late together like we would when we were kids.” A sweet smile graces his features, eyes sparkling with delight. “And maybe I’ll let you win a Loftwing race once in a while, just ‘cause I love you,” Link teases right back at her, drawing a laugh from her again. Oh, how he loves hearing her laugh; it’s everything good in the world all wrapped up in one sound. The heated atmosphere that previously surrounded them was gone now, replaced by an innocent veil once more. Don’t fret; it’ll be back soon enough, at least, that’s what Link hopes will happen.

Zelda nods, kissing his smile-thinned lips over and over again, which just made them both delve into a fit of giggles. “Of course, Linky. I’ve wanted to hear you ask me that for like forever.” Once their laughter dies down, Zelda kisses him properly this time. Link’s nose pressed into her cheek; however, instead of being uncomfortable, Zelda oddly found it rather soothing. The boy’s lips tasted like a mix of vanilla—her chapstick must have rubbed off on him—and the salty leftovers from his sweat. “Don’t you start getting soft on me now that we’re dating, Linky. When I beat you in a race, though, I’ll beat you fair ‘n square. Like how I beat you in dominoes every time.”

He purposefully ignored the dominoes comment, pouting over her being right. He sucks ass at dominoes, but like hell, he’ll never admit to it. “Oh, alright. You run such a hard bargain, Princess,” Link sighs dramatically, rolling his eyes. “What ever shall I do?” he kisses her forehead, right in between her eyebrows.

She giggles at his words with a coy smile, “Oh, I have no idea, Linky! You’re in such a predicament, aren’t you, baby?” Zelda pretends to think, humming audibly. “I know just the thing!” She tilts her head to the side once more, the smirk shedding into a smaller; but more genuine smile. “Maybe if you mark me some, I’ll stop running such a hard bargain, hm? How’s that sound, Chosen Hero?”

“Sounds amazing,” Link says, wasting no time in burying his head in the crook of Zelda’s neck. He litters soft kisses along her throat before sucking deep hickeys into the crook of her shoulder. They blossom into red and purple marks along her skin, loudly claiming her for Link. “Mmm, fuck…” he mutters against her. His hands roam

“Link! Language!” Zelda gasps, never hearing him swear before. She threads her fingers through his hair, keeping his head snug against her shoulder. She could feel every mark forming on her skin, each one causing her face to flush harder than it already was. Zelda kisses his ear gently, doing her best to reciprocate the affection in some way. It felt too weird to her, standing there and not giving Link anything in return.

He chuckles, offering an ungenuine apology. “Just can’t help it, Princess.” Link bites behind her ear—not hard enough to hurt—but enough to send a shot of pleasure up her spine. He kisses the spot repeatedly until he sees a red ring of teeth marks starting to form. He steps back to admire his work. The left side of Zelda’s neck was covered in purple and maroon bruises, ranging from small to egregiously huge. How she was going to cover this up later was beyond Link; it was his plan, after all, to make them blatantly obvious. He stares at Zelda like she’s a work of art displayed in a museum and he’s a professor, desperate to analyze every inch of the art in front of him. “Can I do the right side, too? It looks lopsided.”

His gaze was too much for Zelda to hold, her eyes darting about until he spoke. “On-Only a couple, it’ll be hard to cover up the ones I already have,” she says, tilting her head in the opposite direction compared to before.

Link obeys Zelda’s wishes, only leaving around five lasting marks on her. The faint ones would clear up in under a day, so he figures they won’t be an issue. He places a dark hickey behind her ear, by her jawbone, and right above her collarbone. They were in much better hiding spots this time around, luckily enough for Zelda. Hopefully, it’ll be chilly enough to warrant a scarf for the next couple of days. Link gazes down at her again, nothing but love and admiration for her in his eyes. “I love you so much, Zelda. Always have, always will, Princess.”

She giggles softly and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. “I love you too, my Hero. It’s pretty hard not to.”
