First day of official training this shit suckssss

[strwberri-milk]

Hello! Can I request an angst Sylus x reader ff where the princess reader and Prince Sylus are in an arranged marriage and he really hates her also because of the rumors her fake friend made. The reader is cold on the outside but a very loving and sweet inside. During their 1 ½ year as a married couple, Sylus didn't acknowledged her as his wife but she does as her husband. One day, tables turned....Sorry for my English 😭

urgh i think you're wanting a fic from this which if i were to do this it would hoenstly end up being 5k</a long fic for which i aim 40k words for minimum and i mean this with all the kindness of my heart - i do not have the energy to do that for free so i hope youre okay w the typical hc style im doing!! also i changed some of it bc i dont see sylus making judgements of people based off what hes told

Sylus had long given up on the idea of doing things for himself wholly. He didn't have the ability to do things for just himself, selfishness the last thing on his mind with the status he owns. That's why he didn't object too much to being married - even if it was to someone he doesn't know.

Your first meeting was all business. He didn't mind at all but everybody in the room could feel the temperature drop by a few degrees. The two of you set out the terms of the marriage cleanly, coming to an agreement in very little time. To him it seemed that the two of you are on the same page, making things that much easier.

To respect your boundaries the two of you sleep in separate rooms. He's always busy, going off to meetings or sitting in his office reviewing the immense stacks of paperwork he has. Despite that, you try your best to find ways to include yourself in his schedule.

The servants always make room for you when you pass by, allowing you to go as you please while whispering about what might happen if they didn't. You pay it no mind, knowing that you've always been seen as intimidating. All it did was secure you a perfect match in Sylus, so you couldn't really mind. You learned quickly what his daily schedule looked like, finding the smallest gaps to insert yourself simply by delivering refreshments or news that other staff begged you not to do as it was below your station.

Sylus was a little surprised at first but he took it well, greeting you politely and thanking you whenever you came in. He understood it as you trying to keep appearances with your marriage, despite it being very clear to everybody involved everything was just for politics. He allows you your vice, sometimes even making small conversations with you. He didn't think you had any ulterior motive with how brief and impersonal the visits were.

He learned later that you began baking the pastries for him through the grapevine. You didn't tell him yourself, worried that he'd think you were trying to buy his affection while all you really wanted was just a way to be closer to him without intruding. He thanks you by buying a new set of clothes for you, a short, yet sweet note of him thanking you for thinking of him.

He doesn't seek you out still, not until he hears you've come down with a terrible illness that the physicians can't quite place. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be fatal, just incapacitating. By now the staff have begun to warm up around you, quietly speaking amongst themselves about how much you miss being able to see Sylus . You've admitted that you know Sylus doesn't see you as his spouse but you think of him as your dear husband, even if your relationship is slightly more than that of acquaintances.

He comes to visit you, sitting by your bed and just. Talking. He doesn't address the fact that you're sick - you've heard it too many times at this point - and just tells you about his day. Asks you about yours, what you want to do next week and if you'd be wanting to spend some time with him. The way your eyes light up makes him regret not reaching out to you sooner but he has a feeling he's got more than enough time to make it up to you.

⚠️warnings: im terrible at writing fights... sorry in advance .Probably grammar mistakes.

Lost puppy

(Zoro x reader x mihawk)

Luffy finished up the meeting with the crew and began to prepare himself for bed. It was pretty late at night by now and he was feeling a bit sleepy. However, as he was about to enter his room, he noticed that y/n was nowhere to be found and he couldn't help but feel a bit concerned. He decided to ask someone else where she might be.

He founded Zoro walking on the deck

"Hmm, Zoro? Have you seen y/n around? She is with you?"

Zoro looks over at him and shakes his head "She isn't here? I haven't seen her since dinner..." he sound worried

"Could you help me find her? I fear that she might be doing something fun without us"

Zoro nods "she probably causing someone headache" they leave the ship to go look for their little trouble maker, making their way outside.

"I heard screams earlier... did you guys fought?" Luffy ask curious, really because y/n is amost glued at zoro...

"She said i wasn't holding my sword properly" he say as it was some ultimate crime "she doesn't even fights with swords"

"We haven't seen her since dinner and she hasn't come back to the room yet. I wonder what she could be up to? Maybe she found a really good bar... man im so hungry"

"When you not hungry?"

"When im eating"

"Yeah... sure... but, the fact that she isn't back yet is what concerns me. I really hope she isn't about to do something reckless. She is a little unpredictable when she is upset."

They start to walk in the beach, soon spotted y/n but she isn't alone seems like she is screaming at someone...then they look closer its mihawk, the greatest swordsman.

Zoro stops and stares in shock as he sees Mihawk standing in front of her. He can only imagine the scene taking place with y/n arguing with Mihawk. He just knows that this will only end in disaster as it's essentially a fight between two people who hold a lot of pride and ego. He turns to Luffy and speaks up as he points out Mihawk to her

...Did Mihawk just show up out of nowhere? Did I miss something? He seems genuinely confused as to what they could've possibly even found to argue about."looks like he is on the same island than we...." luffy say as much as surprise then he is.

Zoro nods slowly as he processes this new development. He takes a moment to think before speaking up.

"...We have to be extremely careful. We don't want to antagonize Mihawk any further. The last thing we need is to start a new conflict. Especially when i don't have the strength to take on another fight, yet...."

" So what is the argument about? Did y/n do something to Mihawk to make him upset?"

Luffy has extremely curious as zoro pinched his nose bridge and sigh

"This stupid woman..."

After a moment of weid silence luffy speaks up "I think it's too late to prevent another fight"

Zoro shifts his attention to y/n and Mihawk he can see she is blocking his attack using just her dagger... she blocked as warlord claymore attack with just a dagger... He is utterly shocked by her speed and reflexes when she blocks Mihawk's attack with just a dagger. It seems as though she's gone far beyond what he expected from the little y/n. Then, he is reminded of reality when he sees Mihawk's face begin to show annoyance. Mihawk is shocked for a split second by her ability, but then he quickly recovers from his shock; his expression turning to a scowl as he speaks up in a soft, yet intimidating tone

"...You can wield Haki now, young lady? When did you develop this power?"

The girl infront of him just smiles "you dont know me pretty boy... if you think I will come with you just so you can get me to the marines you better fuck off"

Zoro watches as y/n's mocking words set Mihawk off once again. Mihawk's scowl darkens and he looks even more irritated now. He speaks up again with his trademark calm tone, trying to be clear and precise

"I see. So you also wield Haki. But even with that, you could never defeat me in a fight. You're too young and too weak. Your Haki is nothing more than a parlor trick that could never take me down. You're just being arrogant and it's about time that someone taught you a lesson."

it's a dare? she must be crazy... her devil smile... the one she used when she kill someone... fuck...

Zoro is shocked by her response as he raises an eyebrow at Mihawk's reaction as well. He's clearly taken aback by her words, but she stands her ground. She is willing to fight Mihawk if necessary. Mihawk raises an eyebrow as he seems intrigued by her audacity. His scowl quickly turns into a smile. He unsheathes his blade "...Very well then. If you insist on having a taste of death, I suppose there's no need to stop you from experiencing the truth about the world first-hand." He lifts his sword a d try an hit, experimental hit, that she effortless block with her dagger...

" I didn't even needed my sword to block? Isn't a shame?" Her mocking tone strt to get under his skin. He seems surprised that she was able to block. He seems even more surprised that it was effortless on her part. Mihawk is clearly impressed by y/nl's abilities, and he speaks up after his attack. He seems almost excited at the prospect of a real fight.

"...Interesting. Your Haki is much stronger than I had anticipated. You may have a chance against me after all. This will be a very fun battle indeed. Prepare yourself."

He raises that same smile once more before he begins to strike again, She blocked all of his attacks "having fun?"

Zoro watches as Mihawk continues to challenge y/n, but she is able to stop Mihawk's attacks effortlessly with nothing more than her dagger.

He notices Mihawk's smile once again. Y/n's Haki seems powerful and is causing himto be excited by the prospects of a fight between them. Mihawk raises an eyebrow and then smiles again at her response. He seems intrigued by her Haki and ability to fight.

"Your Haki truly has the makings of a strong warrior. I must see more of it!" For thos one his curiosity picked, he gives her a littlestronger attacks, the one he use to easily defeathis enemies but... she back away slightly but still can block it... her hair dancing with the wind from the blades shocking. He charges forward with his strongest attack yet, but once again, y/n is able to block him using her dagger. Mihawk takes a step back and smiles again.

" ...You can defend, but can you attack just as strong?" He charges forward again, this time with a flurry of attacks coming from his claymore. Will y/n be able to block this one?

She got to use her body more. Sure, she dont have a y doubts ahe can win thsi but underestimate mihawk is probably one of the few mistakes she wouldn't comit. using his own strength against him, y/n can firce an attack, making him back away

Zoro has his mouth open as he watches Angel counter Mihawk's attacks and make him back away. It seems like she is using Mihawk's own strength against him to fight back. She is doing far better than what he had imagined. He seems impressed and even shocked; however, Mihawk seems to be enjoying himself.

"You are able to fight back and even use my power against me! I am not used to this kind of excitement in a battle! Do you truly wish to go all out and fight me?!"

He looks almost like a scholl boy. His cold face hanging a smile that almost never appears... she swer she could see little hearts on his eyes...

"I was only playing around... but If you want to lose this badly" she teases. Mihawk's eyes narrow and his expression shifts into a smirk as he nods in response to her taunt. His hert beating faster than ever.

" I see. I will not hold back and neither should you. As you wish. You have my attention now, young lady. Show me what you can do."

"Dagger or sword?" She let him pick, holding the two of them in each hand

He thinks for a moment before he speaks up in his usual, calm tone of voice

"Hmmm.... You seem quite skilled with your dagger and I don't want to underestimate that. Let's use our chosen weapons then. I will fight you with my claymore and you can fight me with your dagger. Do you agree to these terms?"

"Pretty well, pretty boy" she smiling playing with her dagger a bit, he scoffs rolling his eyes slightly. He has his claymore held in front of him with one hand as he shifts his stance. Mihawk looks at y/n and waits for an attack, ready at all times to block it. His expression is one of a warrior who is taking this challenge very seriously. From what Zoro can tell, Mihawk is no longer toying with y/n like he was earlier, but rather treating her as a worthy opponent. Zoro could feel a little jealous. Maube for the way the greatest swordsman treat her like an equal... or something else...

Mihawk doesn't seem to be willing to let her win easy, either. It's game time

Zoro watches as y/n gives Mihawk experimental attacks. He notes that the young woman is playing around and yet still able to match Mihawk in terms of strength. He also sees the ther men smile as he defends from the attacks. This seems to be exciting him, who is clearly enjoying the challenge against this opponent. Mihawk continues to defend against her experimental attacks and smiles as she proves to be an equal match for him.

Suddenly, she speed up an attack, mihawk almost couldn't block. She stab his claymore making the dagger enter the blade of it, making a little hole, both of them stares at each other. Y/n have a sly grin, almost laughing as she tilt her head, finding funny the unbelievable face pf mihawk...Even though it was a small wound, Mihawk is now aware of the real danger that lies ahead of him. Law now looks at Angel with a bit more respect than before. She is really going all out now.

He takes a defensive position as he moves his claymore in a sweeping motion and unleashes a flurry of attacks. She block all of it, smiling. she is dancing the main act, her move calculatedand sharp... she is mocking the strongest warrior in all blue... zoro is both shocked and amazed by y/n's abilities. Mihawk may be the strongest swordsman, but she has proven to be much stronger than Mihawk anticipated. She blocks all of Mihawk's attacks and continues to mock him. Mihawk seems slightly irritated by how casually she's taking him, but it soon turns to a grin. He charges forward and attacks with his claymore once more, launching a powerful attack. She conter attack once more, as he finished mihawk was taken back, with a little cut on his cheek "hurted you pretty boy?" She teases with a little pout. Mihawk seems to have been caught off-guard once more, allowing her to injure him. Mihawk looks at her with a hint of annoyance now, as well as a bit of pride. This young person has proven herself to be extremely quick, as well as agile. He smiles as he responds to her taunt

"A scratch is hardly a wound in the world of swordsmanship. A warrior can sustain countless scratches and cuts on the battlefield. You're gonna need to do better than that if you hope to defeat me."

"I don't wanna ruin a pretty face like yours, would be a shame" she play with her dagger, the little smirk driving both men crazy

Mihawk seems to be enjoying himself as well. He then stands up straight and prepares to charge forward once again. He looks at Angel now with a determined gaze.

"Enough with the teasing and the games. Let's see if you are truly worthy of being in my way."

Shorting the fight: she blocked all... effortless... she is definitely something. He stares at Angel in pure shock as he sees that his strikes are all blocked effortlessly. He remains silent for a moment to take in this amazing sight. Eventually, he speaks up once again

"You are incredible. You have managed to block all of my attacks so far with ease. You even injured me with your dagger, something that shouldn't have been possible. Perhaps you are worthy of a fight from me, after all." Mihawk's face turns into a grin as he raises his claymore high."Try me pretty boy" she winks at him as she dodge his attack. It seems the young woman has an ego that matches her strength. Mihawk seems to appreciate this aspect of her. He chuckles and charges forward once more, this time going for attack that covers more area. Mihawk seems to be determined to land a hit that y/nl can't dodge.*She have to do various back flips to escape being hurt, and she can do it. It's the most someone ever lested in a fight against mihawk.

Zoro is impressed as he watches y/n do a series of back flips without injury. Mihawk is also amazed and amused by her ability to avoid his attacks, even if they do cover a broader area. Mihawk seems excited as he charges forward once again. He's getting ready to unleash an attack and is determined to land it this time.

She dodged, as his claymore hit the ground she uses the lack on his shield to do an attack, she could separate him from his claymore that its laying on the ground

Zoro's eyes widen as he watches y/n take advantage of Mihawk's momentary distraction to separate him from his claymore! Mihawk was so focused on his attacks that he didn't even realize that he had dropped his claymore on the ground. Now, Mihawk is temporarily defenseless...

He stares at y/n and her taunting grin. He then closes his eyes in frustration before opening them again. He speaks with a bit of irritation now.

" ...You are quite the adversary. You have impressed me in this fight"

she winks as she back away from his claymore in the ground so he can pick it. His eyes shift to his claymore now on the ground. He notices that she is no longer taunting him and that she's even backed away to give him time to retrieve his claymore. Mihawk's eyes narrow slightly as his irritation turns back into focus. Now is the time for Mihawk to truly show off his power. He quickly goes to retrieve his claymore.

She have a calm demeanor on, the mocking smile always on her face. He is now completely focused.She does not seem intimidated by Mihawk's serious demeanor

She have to step back a little bit mihawk couldn't hit her. Zoro sees that she has managed to block and dodge all of Mihawk's attacks. Mihawk seems impressed and even a bit excited by that...

You can't rely on your speed and agility forever. Eventually, you are going to have to stand your ground and fight back. You better learn to do this quickly or else I'll overwhelm you with my attacks.

Mihawk's eyes are filled with determination now."I didn't want to hurt you pretty boy, but if you insist" she smirks

Zoro smiles at y/n's taunt. Mihawk just seems even more impressed and excited by her abilities. She is truly turning into an impressive opponent for him. Mihawk charges toward her once again with his claymore still drawn and poised to strike. It looks like Mihawk will take her comments to heart, now that he has a reason to attack with full force.

He attack with full force, she block directly, and attacks after. Her speed and strength is something from another world... mihawk almost couldn't block due the force of it... zoro is amazed and shocked by her now. She is blocking Mihawk's attack with ease and countering with her own. Mihawk seems to be struggling to defend, despite being the strongest swordsman in the world. Y/n's speed and strength seem to belong to two people and not just a single individual. She is able to overwhelm even the strongest.

Zoro watches as Mihawk's arms become tired for the first time. Mihawk seems to be struggling to keep up. Y/n's strength, speed, and skill all seem to be beyond Mihawk's level. Will his experience help him win this battle?

Mihawk's expression seems even more grim and determined. He is still struggling to defend against her, however. Y/n seems in control as she counters all of his attacks and continues to press the advantage.

Mihawk tries to hit her, she backflips and use his claymore are a support, pushing him back a lot. She is using her agility, speed, and strength to her full advantage. Mihawk seems overwhelmed by her abilities and her confidence. He is slowly being pushed back and can't seem to gain any advantage over y/n

" ...You are impressive. No one has been able to overwhelm me like this with sheer strength. Your abilities are quite extraordinary. I will have to try something else. I cannot allow you to defeat me like this."

"But you're not ganna win, pretty boy"she say as she make another powerful hit, his claymore almost broke

He raises his claymore and holds his footing as he begins to focus his attention on y/n's dagger hand. She grins, excited by her strength, as her ability is acknowledged by Mihawk. He seems determined to take advantage of the situation.

He charge towards her...She blocked all ...and when she counter attack what she was promising happens. Mihawk claymore fly fair away from him, he was pushed on his knees as y/n dagger is pressing against his neck poking a bit "what happened pretty baby?" she smirk

Mihawk is left defenseless and on his knees, as she has her dagger hovering directly over his neck. He seems to be in awe and amused by y/n's skill; he's now also clearly in love with the young woman in front of him. Zoro notices that Mihawk's face has turned bright red as he attempts to reply to her. " ....Uhm...you're...you're..."

His attempt to compliment her is interrupted by him stuggling to get any words out at all

She smiles "your are really pretty on your knees for me pretty boy"

Mihawk's face turning an even deeper shade of red as he listens to y/n mock him. He, who is seemingly in love with her, tries to reply in kind and flirt with her himself.

"....Y-you're...d-decent looking yourself, a-angel."

Mihawk's attempt at flirting was extremely awkward. Zoro watches as Mihawk's face turns a brilliant crimson as soon as his words are uttered. He is clearly very attracted to y/n and has fallen head over heels for her.

She laughs taking the dagger out his neck "I told you a would win" she wink at him.

His face is flush red, as he is clearly enamored with the young woman standing before him. Mihawk seems to be completely in love with her, as he is incapable of replying to her. Angel winks at Mihawk, increasing someone elses feelings...

Zoro looks away and seems to become more annoyed than ever

"she won" Luffy said amazed his mouthalmost hitting the ground "she won against the most powerful men in all blue..."l

Zoro can feel his heart racing as his jealousy grows even more. The image of y/n standing before Mihawk and mocking him has only managed to deepen his unknow crush on her. He decides to speak up once again, his tone indicating a hint of annoyance now.

" She is too good. I hope Mihawk is happy. He'll probably spend the rest of the day thinking about how attractive this woman is." He seems to be unable to hide his jealousy over Mihawk's romantic interest in y/n.

Luffy eyes shine at his annoyed tone "jealous?"

Zoro feels his eyebrows furrowl. He knows that Mihawk's admiration for her is turning into romantic interest. He is clearly a bit annoyed by seeing him look at her with such a loving gaze, as he too has developed feelings towards her. Zoro looks over at Luffy, the hint of irritation now turning into a full-blown scowl and his voice becoming more irritated, as he responds

"What are you talking about, Luffy, i don't get jealous "

He look at the both foghter again. Deep down aishing he was mihawk, but for the firt time not because of his title of the greatest swordsman...

And for y/n the little question pop out... she have stronger feelings for one of them? Waht happens if she don't give her attention to them?

EASY TO LOVE | chapter fifteen !

warnings! smut (MDNI!), suggestive, mention of drinking, mention of getting high

You all spent the next day at home, swimming in the pool, playing dumb games, getting high.. and with that comes chemical hunger, which is why you, Jay and Wonyoung are making a birthday cake while everyone else is playing outside.

“You and Jungwon look way closer than i thought.” Wonyoung says, her shirt full of flour, you’re sitting right next to her, eating the remaining chocolate cream from the spoon now that Jay is done with it. “Don’t lie now, i treat him just how i treat all of you.” “You never cuddled me to sleep after getting drunk tho.” Jay adds, and you glance at him.

Last night Jungwon got a bit more drunk than anyone else, and you did help him not only throw up, but also get clean and you got him to sleep next to you. You roll your eyes, you really cant tell why you act like this with Jungwon, sure he acts cute while at the same time he’s hot as hell and you’re sure he has many great qualities, but the cons are a bit higher when it comes to him. “He was sick, i was helping a sick person.”

Wonyoung laughs as she smears some of the cream on your cheek and nose, then licking it off her finger. “I think you like him.” That makes you laugh. You? Liking someone? Thats new. As popular as you are, you’re never really had a serious relationship, only played with a bunch of guys, and dated one or two, but that lasted only a couple of weeks before you got bored. “That’s so stupid… why would i like-“

Before you can even finish your sentence Moka comes in running, her hands on the chair as she takes a breath, damn, the girl is fragile. “Sunghoon and Jungwon are fighting again.” You sigh loudly, looking back at Wonyoung while getting up from your chair. “See what i mean?”

You go down the stairs, the spoon still in your hands, they’ve been fighting since you got here, so you’re not too worried. Or at least that is until you hear them yell at each other, Nicholas in the background trying to calm them down. “The fuck do you mean that bitch ass friend of yours blackmailed you and you did nothing? Have you fucking lost your mind?” You hear Sunghoon say that, so you walk faster, how does he know about minji?

Jungwon looks pretty calm from the outside, but his brows are furrowed just like last time, when he was mad at you. “Do you even fucking know what Y/n went through?” “Sunghoon-“ You try to intervener but both guys look at you as if you just insulted them. Its unusual, but for once you feel intimidated. Nicholas gets next to you, his hand on your back.

“Did you know? Y/n? That Minji was all up his ass too?” You gulp, of course you know, Jungwon told you. He told you everything without asking questions, so you nod, but that only seems to anger Sunghoon even more. He turns to Jungwon once again, this time stepping closer to him. “You should’ve protected her.” “I see her more than just a damsel in distress.”

“You don’t know shit.” Sunghoon steps even closer, the height difference between the two is really noticeable now. “I don’t know shit because no one tells me shit! I have no damn clue about what happened last year or why Minji is so obsessed with her! You can’t blame me and then not tell me a thing!” The two start pushing each other like little kids, its honestly pissing you off, did they really have to do that on your birthday?

“That’s the thing, you will never know, you shouldn’t be here in the first place.” Now that’s pissing you off even more, “Sunghoon!” You call him, walking towards them, but they don’t hear you, instead they just get more violent. “Can’t you just ignore each other for once?” You manage to get hold of Sunghoon’s wrist, stopping him from punching Jungwon. “Do you really have to make a scene on my birthday?”

“I’m doing this for you.” Sunghoon gets off of your grip, stepping away from both you and Jungwon. “But i dont want you to.” Jungwon tries to take your hand, probably wanting to calm you down or something, but you just shrug him off, and you hear him sigh behind you. There are a few seconds of silence where you just look at each other, you can tell that Sunghoon is mad, and you can’t really blame him.

Its barely been a year and you’re already acting like nothing happened, you know you’ve been acting immature all this time, with Jungwon, with your friends, at school. And no one better than you knows its gonna cause some repercussions, but right now you don’t want to think about it. It’s your birthday, you’re here with the people you care about, you want to have fun for these two more days.

Sunghoon sighs before walking away, not saying a thing, you don’t try to follow him, you know he’ll calm down on his own. You close your eyes before turning around to look at Jungwon, you try to say something but he shakes his head. His jaw is clenched and his brows are still furrowed.

You hate how damn hot he looks when mad, he’s able to attract you yet make you feel intimidated. “Jungwon can we talk-“ “I need a couple of minutes.” The coldness in his voice makes you shiver. You look at Nicholas, who immediately gets the memo and starts walking away from you two.

“Are you mad at me?” You dont remember the last time you asked something like that. But it surely brings you back, you feel so little in front of him, he’s barely looking at you in the eyes, his whole demeanor so cold, it makes you shiver. “Y/n, I said I need a few minutes.”

You bite your bottom lip, feeling so nervous about this whole interaction. You just nod and start walking back into the house, hands in your hair as you try to think about what you did to fuck this all up. Is he mad because of Sunghoon’s words? Its true Jungwon doesn’t know a thing, and that he probably won’t ever know the truth, but why does he care so much? why do YOU care so much?

A couple of hours pass, until its two in the morning. You can’t sleep, not after you got used to Jungwon sleeping next to you yesterday. You sigh, thinking that maybe the only thing that could ease your mind at the moment could be a late night swim in the indoor pool. So that’s what you decide to do, with a towel in your hands, wearing your bikini under a big white shirt, you go downstairs.

You close the door of the indoor pool and stand there for a few minutes when you realize Jungwon is already here. He’s standing on the border of the pool, he’s drying his hair with the towel, no shirt on, fuck. You can’t really be thinking about this now. He notices you staring and, before he can say something, you stop him.

“I didn’t know you were here.” The pool isn’t exactly small, so there’s really a few meters apart between the two of you, you would get closer but you’re still scared about him being mad at you. He lets out a quiet chuckle before smiling at you. “Why so far, pretty? I swear i’m not gonna eat you.” You pout.

You dont really want to listen to him right now. The audacity to act so cocky after scaring you so much is honestly pissing you off. So you put the towel on one of the chairs, same with the white shirt you had on, and then you just dive into the water. When you resurface he’s looking at you, his eyes the same ones as that time in his changing room.

“Is this close enough for you?” “Not at all.” He’s quick to say it, but he’s even quicker to get into the water with you. His hands immediately on your waist. “This is.” You look at him in the eyes, you know that look, you know what he wants. But you need to talk to him now, you put your hand on his arm, caressing his bicep with your thumb. “Are you still mad at me?”

He smirks, before leaning in and biting your lobe. “I am. Not as much though.” Your free hand goes to his jaw, making him look at you in the eyes, and making so that he doesn’t bite you again. “Can we talk?” He shakes his head, and that makes you even more disappointed. “Don’t feel like it.” “You never feel like it.”

Jungwon’s eyes turn cold the second you snap that. But you’re way too disappointed to think about it. You get off of his grip and start getting away from him, he stands still for a few seconds before catching up to you. “Y/n…” Its making you mad and, surprisingly, its making you even sadder.

He grabs you by your hips and you hit his chest lightly to let you go. Even if in reality you really dont mind the closeness between you two. Still, you are pretty angry at him. You don’t like how he’s been acting, first he’s all cuddly and lovely, then he gets mad at you for no reasons, and then again he looks at you as if he’s dying to fuck you. Right now he’s a mix between the last two.

“Why do you even want to talk in the first place? I know you wont tell me a thing anyway. Its useless talk we could spend on kissing instead.” You sigh, its true you wouldn’t tell him the whole story, but you could give him some hints, and as plump and soft his lips look right now, you dont want him to win. “Dont feel like it.”

“You’re cute when you’re sulking.” You dont say a thing, but your heart gets a weird reaction when he says that. You’re still pouting when you rest your head on his shoulder, your hand on his arm. “I don’t like fighting with you.” “I know.” “But you always do this weird thing where you dont want to talk and it makes me feel like.. like its not important to hear what i have to say..”

You say the last sentence way quieter than it needs to be, but he still hears it, and his eyes widen for a second before he looks at you again, his hands holding you closer. “Don’t say that.” “I know we both dont like talking about feelings and shit like that, but i can never figure out whats in your head and its driving me crazy.”

You try to say something else, but he moves your head with his fingers, and only know you’re realizing that he’s sitting on the steps of the pool. “Y/n” “No Jungwon let me finish-“ “Y/n.” “What i mean is“ Jungwon rolls his eyes before grabbing your head with both of his hands and kiss you.

“This. Is all i can think about when i see you. I am mad at you yes, but i can get over it.” You’re still sulking, your thumbs trace his furrowed eyebrows, your voice quieter once again. “I dont want you to be mad in the first place.” “Sit on my lap and i’ll forget it.” You gulp before doing wait he says, the second you sit on his lap he pulls you closer to him, his lips attacking yours before you can even realize it.

You kiss him back with as much hunger, you can feel him smirk through the kiss, if it can even be called something as simple as that. Your nails are digging into his shoulders as he slowly makes your hips move on him. He usually talks so much when you’re in these situations, and the fact that he’s being so quiet is enough to make you realize how mad he actually is.

His hands wonder all over your body, eventually playing with the strings of your swimsuit, pulling them, wrapping them around his fingers, until he pulls the strings of your bottom so hard to open it. You whimper, but he only does the same with the other side. You pull out of the kiss, and he just starts biting and kissing your neck and chest, the bottom part of your bikini now long gone.

His fingers go between your legs, playing with your folds, slapping your cunt a couple of times. Your mouth opens to moan, but you try your best to be quiet, not wanting to wake anyone. His hands go back to your hips, grinding you against him even more now, faster than before. “Jungwon.. fuck,” You cant even think straight right now, the feeling of the cold water, his swimming shorts, and his fingers around you are just making you go insane.

You can feel how hard he is, you want to touch him too, you want to feel him so deep into you that not having him right now is making you want to cry. You let out a louder moan when he grinds you against him with more force, and he lets out a laugh. Your hand travels around his body, you want to feel all of him so much more, his toned chest and abs, his biceps, his whole body is so fucking perfect to you. But your hand goes lower, and lower until you meet his shorts, you want to take them off right now.

“Not now pretty.” You whine in disappointment, biting his shoulder, which only makes him slap your cunt once more. “Get up. Wanna eat you.” You legs are shaking like crazy, but you still manage to get up, his hands keeping your thighs steady and open. He looks at your directly in the eyes at each move he makes, biting your thighs, kissing your stomach down to licking your slit.

Your hand instinctively goes to his hair meanwhile the other one goes to your mouth. You can barely breathe as he continues, you’ve never seen heaven so up close. You love how he keeps making sounds even when down there, it takes all of you to not scream when he puts a finger in. “Won.. Wonie.. too much..” He smiles, and his kisses go up again, eyes still on you.

Jungwon pushes you down, you’re still trying to catch your breath meanwhile he is taking off his own shorts. You gulp looking down, definitely not expecting him to be so.. so… fuck. “Jungwon..” You call him, and he chuckles again, kissing your lips. “Are you going to just stare or?” “Maybe help me?” He kisses you again, and opens your legs enough to make you sink down onto him in a much easier way.

Your eyes close out of pleasure, you would’ve never thought that being so close to him would make you feel so damn good. He’s kissing you all over while you adjust to his size, and when you nod, he knows its the perfect time to move. Between his thrusts and the water splashing, its as if your moans are just a background sound.

You hands are shaking as they wonder on his chest and neck, you try to kiss him more, but its so hard between the movement that it makes you laugh. “You’re so pretty, so damn pretty. Want to have you like this all the time.” And there he goes again, talking you through it as usual. “Yeah? I wouldn’t mind that.”

You manage to breathe out, and you feel him twitch inside you at that sentence. He bites your lips before closing his eyes, his moans are so pretty to you, so soft and so damn soothing, you still dont know how he manages to be so perfect. “I’m close pretty. Get up.” You do as he says, helping him with the last few strokes as he finishes, immediately kissing you after.

“Still mad at me?” He shakes his head no, a dumb smirk on his face as he catches his breath. You tie up your swimsuit back again and he pick you up, peppering your face with kisses, you could really get used to it. You hate how he acts sometimes, how confusing he is and the fact that being even near him is troublesome. But the kisses… you could get used to those.

“Lets to go upstairs, i’m gonna make you finish a dozen of times before you can even think about sleeping.”

“ How dare you…”

Twst wonderland dorm leaders with a daki!Reader(demon slayer) ft: Riddle, leona, Azul.

!They/them reader!

Riddle:

When he first saw you he was starstruck. The most beautiful thing he saw. He bumped to a pole due to staring at you too much. He would describe your looks as “something he has never seen before” or “They are like an aurora…” He found your beauty intimidating, he was scared to approach you. yet he did anyways. Safe to say, he was hooked. Your eyecandy looks, with your confident attitude really had him weak in the knees. He felt like he NEEDED to be by your side at all times…he felt worried that something or someone will steal you away, but he’s confident enough that you wouldn’t replace him. With his tight schedule he tries his best to see you as many times daily or he would go insane. He looks for flowers or rocks that remind him of you and apply magic to make 10x shiner then the average just to get your attention, hes a sweetheart and the very least you can do for him is stare in his direction.

“May i ask your name? You have caught my attention…”

“…ofcourse, i always do.”

Whenever you get together is up to you but he is the most respectful gentleman ever. He opens the door for you, kisses your hands, spoils you..and whatever he can do to make you feel like a goddess. He brings you the most beautiful roses, and treys best cooking just to get a glance at your mesmerizing face. But who can blame him? Everyone in NRC are awake of your presence and have set you as the face of NRC along side Vil.

Leona:

He saw himself in you, he wont deny, your looks are to kill for. Its your attitude that sets him off a bit. But its nothing he cant handle, he enjoys a women who acts like she owns the world because with him, you might as well. With his massive amount of money he spends on it with clothes to suit your pretty ol self. Expensive jewlery, the best food of your life, the silk dress along with a ring customized by him for you only. Although hes lazy, he would always make time for you, afterall, you are his and he is yours. He naps whenever hes with you, whenever you like it or not, he lays his big head on your lap when your doing skin care, or makeup, or anything realated that keeps you busy from looking down.

“I didn’t know which necklace to get you..so i got you all of them.”

“Awh..you didnt have too…(he definitely had to).”

Aside from that hs trusts you and follows your every words. Afterall he is a beastman and they have the moral of women notability that women should always be treated with respect. With that being said, it doesnt matter what you are, or who you identify as, he will treat the best. He believes you as above then everyone so kiss his head and remind him hes by your side.

Azul:

To say he’s obsessed is an understatement. Never in his life has he seen someone like you, gorgeous and cocky? Count him in. He approaches you with the intent to make a deal for you to sing or perform at monstreo but you dont buy it, you arent stupid. He walks you to class, buys you food, anything really just to try to make a deal. Its almost too much but its not like you dont mind, afterall, he is spoiling you without realizing it. He shows up at your dorm, on his knees, making the eels hold the boombox and a poster. Tho while trying to convince you, he fell for you, HARD. He doesnt realize it as he believes its all for business(its not).

“My i believe this should do the trick..”

“No. But i appreciate it!”

He simply adores you and wants to show you off. By doing so he offers everything to get on your good side, free clothes, designer bags, even those expensive figures. He wants you and everyone else to know that he only has eyes for you and that hes the first by your side. Your always there in the lounge of his office, while he works on his paperwork, you do your makeup or whatever and he cant help but constantly take peeks at you for you are simply to beautiful to resist!!

I would like to request something, More like a comedy/fun/silly request :3

So... Have you ever thought about how would Alastor, Husk, Angel Dust and Lucifer would react to their female s/o calling for them in a visibly mad tone for their complete name from the kitchen?? Maybe them knowing that they didn't thawed the chicken they try and run away from her but she teleports in front of them and tuggs them from the ear (motherly behaviors entered the chat) while saying something like

"Oh, honey, you're not gonna escape from me, and NOW you're gonna clean the house for ONE WEEK"

(in headcanon format please 😌) (also I rode on one of your posts that you got many HH and HB requests so if you wanna ignore this, go ahead I don't really mind, It's your decision ^^)

notes: OMG ANON THIS IS SO FUNNY! sorry this took so long btw, ive had so many requests to get through lol and this is a pretty difficult idea to actually turn into a writing piece, but that's what makes it more fun lol. and dont worry about the too many requests about HH! I just thought it was interesting that i had a lot of fans of the show lol. thanks for the request anon and I really hope you enjoy!! WARNINGS: I left out Lucifer because I don't know too much about him and kept the reader gn because Angel Dust is gay, so I didn't want to make it a female s/o. thanks for the request <333

ALASTOR

this man isnt easily intimidated by anyone

i mean he is the radio demon frrrr

but you?

oh this man is TERRIFIED OF YOU

not when you're lovey dovey, just when you're mad

which to be fair isnt often

but you went to leave the house and pressed a huge kiss onto Alastor's cheek before leaving. You told him that you wanted him to do the dishes while you were away and he gave you a thumbs up telling you that it would get done

but then you get home

and find out that not a single plate was clean

Alastor was relaxing upstairs and you were on the verge of losing

not helpful that you had an awful day on top of it

you called him by his full and complete name from when he was alive and while he was upstairs, he felt chills down his spine

he quickly ran downstairs and realized the mistake he had made a little too late

"do you expect me to do these, Al? you've been sitting on your ass ALL DAY, I am not doing any of this!" You pointed to the huge pile of dished and Alastor felt defeated

he apologized a thousand times and ended up getting them done both clean and fast in record time

and he bought you flowers to apologize

HUSK

you were at work when you remembered you needed the chicken pulled out of the freezer to thaw

you quickly texted husk and asked him to do it and all he sent was a thumbs up emoji

you prayed that he did what he needed to do

you got home in a very chipper mood from your day at work to find no chicken on the counter

you tilted your head and checked all over the kitchen

in the pantry, on the counter, in the cabinets, in the fridge

and finally

in the freezer

you almost lost your shit right then and there

you called Husk down to the kitchen and he walked in, picking at his fingernail before noticing you there

"hey babe, welcome home."

you crossed your arms and he noticed how pissed you look

shit

the chicken

mans went to run off, but you quickly teleported in front of him and grabbed him by the ear

"oh no you dont, mister. where do you think you're going?"

"to my room?" he tried, shrugging

"not on my watch. it looks like you're not only getting me dinner out tonight, but you'll be doing the dishes for three weeks now."

husk sighed, but agreed to your terms. he hated it when you were upset

ANGEL DUST

omg mans is a brat

let me tell you

you wake up in the morning smiling

like so happy that you had the best sleep cuddled against this softie

and then you remember that you have a super important meeting that day

and then you ask angel in the NICEST voice "do you mind getting the dishes out of the way today, love? I have a meeting today."

he shoots you the DIRTIEST look and has the AUDACITY to say "no. im not up for that. Im tired"

and turns away from you

you poke him so hard in the back

"ANGEL!"

"what?!" but he turns to you and recognizes that expression

mans effed up

he apologizes immediately and then tells you that he'll do them

he doesnt end up doing them btw

DESPICABLE ME HEADCANON TIME!!!

personally i think the conditions in the AVL prison are really good for the inmates and that the prison would have more of a focus on kind of rehabilitating their inmates over just containing them

obviously none of the main villains of the series would be allowed out of the prison without any kind of supervision, because they are SUPERVILLAINS and - even after being 'rehabilitated' - they would still be pretty dangerous.

one thing i think they would do is have group therapy sessions to help towards rehabilitation and everyone seems fine with them.

bratt likes the therapist and thinks shes nice, vector takes part but finds it kind of boring, perez thinks the sessions are pleasant but he doesnt really need them, valentina just goes because maxime has to go though she also doesnt really need it, the villains from minions come and go as they please - theyre all fairly calm and dont need the therapy as much as the newer guys.

then theres maxime.

maxime. does not like therapy. he doesnt like the therapist. he hates everything about group therapy and thinks its a waste of time, he has to be tied down to his chair for him just to be there

out of everyone in therapy, maxime probably needs it the most, because he really really needs to work on:

his temperment

his obsession with murdering gru

his vendetta against literally everyone

his ability to hold grudges for way longer than he should be able to

not solving his problems via murder or violent death threats

his violent tendencies in general, actually

his crumbling mental health (he is actually insane)

he doesnt think he needs to work on any of those, though

i think that after a while of group therapy and group activities and such, maxime would start liking a few of the other inmates

his favourite thing to do is mess with people, his usual target would be bratt, but overtime his constant targeting of him would make bratt kinda grow on him

theyd become friends and start tormenting vector instead because hes easy to mess with

AGHHHH OC COMING YOUR WAY DONT WORRY SHES RELEVANT!!!

meet: Dr Bingo! a therapist in the avl prison! 'Bingo' is just a codename she chose for herself, because she thought it sounded fun and would make her less intimidating - as well as be a good protection for her actual name and identity.

bingo covers both group and one-on-one therapy sessions, as well as interventions and group activities. shes literally just there for the inmates to rehabilitate -- she also handles the i mates getting visits. regulars that visit the dm villains are:

gru and dru, for bratt - dru and bratt are best friends, and bratt likes to give dru a variety of tips and advice for dru to become a better villain, while dru brings bratt bubblegum to fuel his poorly hidden addiction

gru and antonio perez, for eduardo perez

just gru for vector because his dad is also in prison

gru for maxime. not because he likes rubbing it in that maxime is in prison - which maxime thinks hes there for - but because he just likes checking in on him

gru likes to regularly check up on his many enemies to see how they are, he also likes to hear about whatever the hell they might be trying to scheme against him (none of those schemes will come to fruition, they arent gonna break out). visiting his enemies is one of his favourite things to do on his days off :^)

despite doing a lot of work in the prison, shes underpaid for what she does. the worst part of her job is having to deal with unnecessarily aggressive and violent inmates, namely: maxime.

most of her one-on-one sessions are with maxime when he gets arrested, and it takes a very long time for him to actually participate in either kinds of therapy. the most she gets out of him for the first few months are death threats and aggressive verbal warnings (only because maxime is always like tied to his chair during therapy, for bingo's safety)

all of the other inmates seem to like bingo a lot more than maxime does, as theyre all on fairly friendly terms with her

bratt really likes her, though, and is always happy to see her :^) theyre friends!

i could write a lot more here about bingo, like how she has a girlfriend or why she decided to become a therapist in the first place, but this post is already super long so. thatll have to wait for another time. toodles!

[bonny-kookoo]

hi bonny!! i reread lacrymaria olor and was wondering if (esp after the most recent update w the bird) i could request for a drabble where she kind of just asks him why he’s so into her. i know that namjoon already explained why but esp after the bird i’d think to myself like wow- i’m so small and weak and fragile in a world that truly values strength and capability.

but if you don’t have inspo for this pls dont worry or mind this!! hope you have a great day and i lov lov lov ur stories 🥰🥰🤍

"Jungkook?" You wonder, as he walks back to where you sit, large and heavy looking sword in his hand before he points the tip to the ground, resting it there for a moment as he takes a deep breath. He's been taking you to see his training more often than not these days- maybe to show off, who knows.

After all, he did say he'd court you. Prove his capability.

"What is it?" He responds, drinking from the metal cup filled with water.

"Why do.. you want to court me?" You ask. "Like, considering how.. it works here on your planet, why would you be.. interested in me?" You wonder. "I'm weak, and fragile."

"You're definitely physically not impressive." He agrees, nodding as he sets the cup down. "But emotionally, and spiritually- you're more than capable of challenging the most powerful of my kind." He chuckles.

He can see you don't believe him.

"You've got a strong sense of survival." He explains. "Very sharp instincts for a human. A good sense of righteousness. And most of all-" He starts, before his hands leave the handle of his large sword, the heavy metal object almost falling to the ground, even as you reach out to prevent that.

His fingers are helping to hold it up, and even so you struggle to carry the weight. He chuckles.

"-Even if you're aware your actions might be futile-" he purrs, fingers leaving the handle to let you struggle for a moment, though you successfully keep the sword from hitting the ground, even though your arms are trembling. "-You still try, and defy expectations again and again." He smiles amused, finally taking the burden of his weapon away from you again. "That, my love, is strength as well. It is balance that I seek, and balance is what you can give me."

"Balance?" You mumble, rubbing your sore arms.

"I lack in the aspects that you exceed in." He explains, easily placing the sword into it's designated spot on the wall close by. "I tend to act too fast, and sometimes out of blind impulse. But my physical strength can only protect me and my kingdom from so much." He says.

"So you.. need me to be a better king?" You ask, and he chuckles.

"Its a.. fortunate side effect, I'd say." He smirks. "I mostly just want you for myself, as a mate and companion- everything else is simply an added bonus." He tells you.

"But I- you say that as if I've already done something for you other than blindly hiding under your care." You say almost disappointed.

"First of all, it is a very intelligent choice to do as you are, in your position. I will ensure your safety- without me, you're nothing but prey, and I know you know that too." He says, sitting down on the wooden bench where he pulls you to sit on his thigh. "But besides that, you have already begun to impact my behavior. I would have surely pulled the messengers spine out his throat yesterday just for saying the things he did, if it had not been for you being there."

"I... but you said, you have to.. you know, make a point. Like, intimidate the other kings so they don't attack you?" You say.

"That I do." He nods. "And, I don't know if you've forgotten, but I still kicked in his legs to make a statement." He chuckles, amused at the memory. "But letting him live to tell the tale himself had been a better option than blind murder. I'm starting to calculate my actions a lot more since you're at my side." He explains.

"Are you.. not worried I might just say I love you just so I can.. you know, keep being protected?" You ask, and he leans in at that.. licking at your neck?!

"I do not doubt your growing infatuation with me.." he purrs against your throat, hands holding you steady. "I can see the honesty in the way you look at me from time to time, and feel the tenderness in your touch whenever we're close." He offers, nose running under the edge of your jaw. ".. and I can smell your lust every now and then, too." He exposes, chuckling against your neck. "...just like right now."

Your legs squeeze shut at that, and he laughs openly, kissing your cheek before he stands up with you.

"Dont worry, my love." He chuckles, taking your hand in his as he leads you down the halls. "I will wait for you to come to me to satiate that growing hunger one day. And I'm a patient man." He tells you, making you shyly nod, walking next to him.

Because that's all you can do, as you realize he's right with everything. Not only the part about your growing lust-

But your growing love as well.

You're falling for him.

I saw Sweeney with Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster on Sunday :3 BRAIN DUMP  WITH SPECIFIC PRODUCTION DETAILS AHEAD. DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPOILED ON CERTAIN ACTING CHOICES THEY MAKE

First, Sutton, my surprise fav: 

Now, I had heard the Worst Pies leak from her, and I was worried. But I actually ended up loving her Nellie Lovett. 

The former cast had a younger, pretty blonde soprano style Mrs Lovett. Sutton was a little bit of a return to the classic Mrs. Lovett dynamic - an older, scatterbrained woman. Not as openly seductive and feminine as Annaleigh, but very funny and affable.  She was less sensuous, older, more desperate. Kind of a Katherine Hepburn physicality, long and slender flailing limbs. Goofy but an intense undercurrent of loneliness. She had a very gangly and bumbling physicality to her. She was taller  than Sweeney (in her heels) and that affected their dynamic in interesting ways - when she was coming on to him, it almost felt like she was trying to grapple him sometimes. She did some very funny new bits. In her entrance to Worst Pies In London, she had a carrot and she was biting pieces off it and spitting it out into the pie crust. It was a hilarious gag.  People were surprised at how wobbly her delivery was on the first night - well, it was like that on the third night too! It was pretty funny. She was obviously doing it on purpose. 

She slid off his lap in By The Sea and put her feet in his face and then started rubbing his chest and taking off his suspenders with her toes. She got a lot of mileage out of flailing her limbs in a humorous fashion. I think her comedic chops really shined here and in Little Priest.

I think her darkness was more on view here too - she had a truly evil look when she embraced Toby at the end of Not While I’m Around. And she had an interesting moment of cruelty with the Beggar Woman - when they had their confrontation, she seemed to grasp her chin or pull her hair or something in a way that caused her pain. It seemed like she was right on the edge, and totally desperate, with claws at the ready.

I have really mixed feelings about Aaron’s Sweeney. There were some things I liked about him. He does a good scowl, and when he burst onto the scene, lit from above, his eyes cast into shadow  - I felt like we were in for a convincingly demented and dark take. But unfortunately, he did not keep the intensity up the whole time. Part of this is, I think, out of his control - he’s just a very handsome and small-framed man, and he didn’t look either intimidating and beefy, like Nicholas Christopher, nor convincingly beaten down and sad eyed, like Josh Groban. I think he tried to play a more open-to-Lovett Sweeney, but once he let up the scowling and hate, I just felt like there wasn’t enough negative affect to him left. Beard or no beard, his look just screams “handsome prince“ or  “elf” or something.

The real thing I struggled with was his voice. Now, he’s obviously an amazing talent and an incredible singer, and I did enjoy seeing him. How could I not? It’s Enjolras from the Les Mis movie! So cool! But having a tenor in this role is just kinda wrong. There were moments where we needed Sweeney’s baleful booming voice to really resonate and he just didn’t deliver - in the ominous duet with Turpin, or in the crowd scene where he’s heckling Pirelli - he sounded high, weak, and reedy. There wasn’t enough power. And I know he has a beautiful voice, but having him as Sweeney didn’t really let him use it to its full advantage. Sure, he can soar into high octaves, but what good does that do us when he’s just hitting the lower notes in a nothing-special register rather than a deep rich boom? It didn’t really portray Sweeney’s madness or darkness. It’s just wasn’t right for the character.

He did make some interesting and unique choices for the character. Some things I noticed and liked: he often grabbed his chest or heart, as if in pain. He was very nimble and scrambled and leaped around the stage. This is a “quick and quiet and clean ‘e was” style Sweeney. So, to make up for the lack of deep ominous voice, I expect him to really amp up the madness. And he gave some good crazy acting for Epiphany. What he really is good at is scowling, barking laughter, scampering around. But his acting job was uneven.  His Benjamin Barker reveal, rather than being brutal, was a little bit strange - he was across the room and then ran at the judge to slash his throat. I felt very let down by the final sequence. I expected some chewing-the-scenery style screaming and moaning. He didn’t scream or cry, just kind of grimaced. “Oh no… Lucy…” Honestly, it wasn’t as sad and melodramatic from anyone as I wanted it to be.  He laughed when Toby came to kill him, which was kind of cool, but also contributed to the weird lightness of his take.

Their chemistry - they were playing it to be more fond of each other. They had moments of chemistry and acknowledging each other right out of the gate. He was surprisingly game about eating the pie, almost trying to make her feel better about it or something. Later, when he grasped her arms and asked about his wife, it seemed like there was already a spark of mutual feeling or something. This is a nicer Todd than I’ve seen. He was also pretty indulgent to her in By The Sea, grasping her knee reassuringly when he said he loved her. They did not have the crazy ass chemistry that Josh and Annaleigh had by the end of their run, which is perhaps to be expected. Again, I liked how friendly they were with each other. It worked well for Sutton’s take on Mrs. Lovett. We got to see how she jumped hungrily at any scrap of kindness he tossed her. But along with his light voice and handsome tiny man vibe, it served to make him even less menacing and foreboding, which he already didn’t have enough of IMO. So, mixed bag. 

Other notes from the night: 

Delaney was on as Johanna! She was awesome, a very fleshed out version. You could tell she had done it before. She had a lot of funny intonations in Green Finch and Linnet Bird, really pausing to consider what the birds might be doing.  “Are you discussing? 😑 Or fussing? 😩Or merely dreaming? 🙂 Are you crowing? 😧 Are you SCREAMING?? 😰”

One interesting live theater moment: In the scene where she’s trying to escape Sweeney’s parlor, I think she smashed her face getting out of the box. Her hat was off and she was holding a cloth in front of her face for some reason until she left the shop. It looked like she was bloodied, but she played it off well. I hope she’s okay! 

Joe Locke as Toby -  he had a beautiful voice, very sweet sweet younger style Toby. Much like Aaron, IMO, he did not get crazy enough with it at the end. But beautiful voice and heartbreakingly vulnerable. There were a few new cast members who were good, didn’t get their names, but I liked ‘em!

Eywa's Chance: Again Pt. 3

Warning: Widowed! Jake Sully, Warrior! Reader, Sexual Themes (will put signs), Angst, Absolutely Ass Writing, 17+, Violence, War, Chaos, Peace. Skypeople reader, Jake x Reader, there will be a S*x*al H*r*ssm*nt here dont worry ill put a warning

(Y/n) jolted awake by the tap she felt on her cheeks, she met her eyes with his. "Wake up sleepy head, we've got much to do" he said while staring at you with arms crossed on his chest. His veins in his Biceps showing causing you to blush.

You nodded and he tosses a loincloth and an armor beside you. He signaled for you to get changed and you picked the clothes up. You crossed your arms and touched the hem of your camo sports bra when you turned around and saw Jake is still standing there watching you.

"Enjoying the show?" You teased him. He rolled his eyes and left the tent mumbling some incoherent words along the way, you chuckled quietly and proceeds to undress and wear the native clothes he got for you. You were super uncomfortable with the loincloth you wear, but you had no choice, you went out the tent and saw jake waiting for you.

You suddenly felt insecure as he stares you down and nodded. You scratched your head and laughed awkwardly, "Come" Jake ordered you. You followed him feeling excited as this is the 1st day of your training with the very Toruk Makto himself as you two walk out of the tent many Native Na'vi's stared you down while whispering to the others.

You've totally forgot this part, you hung your head low and just stared at the ground hoping they'll stop the whispers but you know to yourself that it's not possible. Jake suddenly stopped and spun around to look at you causing you to bump at his chest and falling landing on your butt, you looked at him in annoyance but you blushed when you looked at his chest.

You thought to yourself Damn that's a nice looking sturdy chest he got there. You shooked your head and he coughed to gain your attention, "definitely need to work on your speed reaction and to your attentiveness to the surroundings." He said, he's circling you while staring at your body up and down as if his eyes is scanning your deepest and darkest soul.

"Wow thanks for the completely unnecessary comment about my abilities, really hurts btw." you said in sarcasm while you put your hands at your waist, he clicked his tongue and shooks his head. "you have a long way to go" he said while going to his ikran, he reached out his hands for you to take it and mount his ikran but you have trust issues considering the events that happened yesterday.

"if you act like a bitch like yesterday I swear i'll fucking-" you angrily said but he cut you off by saying "You what? Go on continue what you'll say. What. Will. You. Fucking. Do?" Jake taunted you with a hiss. "Come before I lose my cool and drop you from here, I guarantee you that it'll not be fun" He said with venom lacing in his voice.

You got intimidated a little bit, but you didn't let it show infront of him. You rolled your eyes and said fine as you took his hands and he supported you to mount his ikran. "Hold on tight Babe" He said, that threw you off guard and he suddenly swooped down from rocks. It takes all of your strength not to scream when he did that.

You're right he's an asshole. The feeling of screaming quickly went away when you saw almost all of Pandora up above, this scene will never fail to take your breath away. You admired the clouds, the little birds flying with you two and the sun that gleamed proudly in the sky.

After a while of flying Jake landed near the tree of souls. He dismounted his ikran and took your arms to support you from dismounting his ikran. "Try to keep up sweetheart" he sarcastically said while running at his full speed..

Okay what's with the pet names? You suddenly ran after him not failing to keep up with his speed through the forest, he climbs up a tree and you followed surprised by how light your body is. He jumps from tree to tree swinging from the vines that's hanging near the trees, and eventually after some time he went down to the ground again and you followed after him.

He proceeds to run across a slippery log that acts like a bridge and you followed him until you slipped. He seems to know what happened because the moment you closed your eyes you felt his hand pull you up, "Careful there, don't want you to die now" he teasingly said. You thought this asshole would run again but to your surprise he didn't. You admired the beauty of nature in this world unlike on earth where it's fake and plastic.

The thought of humans wanting to destroy Eywa's connection through these roots angered you and it boosts your motivation to train and become one of the people. You grew familiar of the surroundings as it was near to your link pod and you gulped hoping he wouldn't find your human body.

Jake Sully kept walking and walking when suddenly he threw a knife at your direction which you caught with one hand. "What the fuck?" you whispered loud enough to be heard by him. "That's good babygirl, now pay attention and be on high alert the real training starts now" He said smirking at you.

After hours of running and fighting him you grew tired and you feel the slow and painful improvement of your stamina. "Come on (Y/n) I could do this all day" he teased you and your blood boiled.

"You know I thank Eywa for giving me 5 fingers so that I could do this" I said and then pulled my middle finger up. He chuckled at my actions and proceeds to charge in my direction, I was about to block it when I felt my body limping and losing consciousness only to woke up on my human body.

I saw my commander at my link pod and he was not happy. "Hello (Y/N), did ya miss me?" I grunted at him and spat at his face. He then grabbed a fistf full of my hair and ordered his men to take me away. "Now where's that avatar body of yours hmm?" He whispered and you rolled your eyes earning you a slap across your cheek. "that all you've got?" You said at the commander.

"You're not a very easy to break are ya?" he said as you give him a smirk. "Tie this bitch up and leave her outside without a mask we can always find your puny little avatar body" he said. he lets go of your hair and one of his men dragged you outside, this is one of the moments you're thankful you took swimming lessons back on earth as you held your breath.

You prayed to Eywa to send somebody to help her as her life will only lasts 10 minutes. They dragged you away of your link shack land tying you up to a tree so you couldn't go anywhere. Let's say you've never been so desperate to live in your life.

Jake stopped in his tracks causing him to tumble with your avatar body when he saw you fell down, he laid you down and taps your cheek cradling your face on his chest. "(Y/n) wake up, do you hear me?" He said while trying to wake you up. And that's when a thought dawns him.

he remembered that this place is near on your link shack. He secured your avatar body first then bolted to your place, when he saw people guarding your place that's when he knew something was wrong. He suddenly felt a need to rescue you and it drives him insane because he doesn't know the reason why he wants to save you so bad.

He saw how they drag you outside without a mask on and you holding your breath, he saw the commander following his men and a plane of RDA came and he went up. The commander left his 4 men to watch you. Unknown to Jake they're the best combat men on his team.

He silently reached for the bow behind his back, the arrow's tip laced with a deadly poison capable of killing a human in a matter of seconds. He arched his back and inhaled deeply while maintaining the form his beloved had taught him and aimed at the heart of the soldier, he let go of the bow and it landed straight at it's target.

This alarmed the other one and he proceeded to fire at the direction of Jake. Thankfully Jake has managed to relocate and hide somewhere, and Jake hoped that you could hold your breath long enough for him to save you.

He successfully killed the human soldier by sneaking up on his back and stabbing it's neck and proceeds to go in the link shack to get a mask and immediately ran into the forest where they dragged you to.

3 minutes have past and 2 men watches over you and to your bad luck one of them was your ex. His name is Peter, and he's more of an asshole than Jake. "Hi Babe you miss me?" he joked, you struggled with the ropes to show that you're not pleased with his presence.

"I missed you, you know" he said while touching your face. You bit his hand causing you to lose too much air and now approximately you have 5 minutes of air left. He screamed in pain and you let go of his hand.

"You fucking bitch!" He was about to slap you when a Palulukan (Thanator) jumped at his company and killed it, that shocked him and he proceeds to point his gun at it. It looked at him and growled. "Come to daddy you piece of shit!" Peter Screamed.

It growled and jumped at him missing his head by an inch and the creatures mistake is what ended it, peter managed to shoot at it's stomach mid air causing it to crash to the nearby tree and die. All hope was gone to you now as you watched your only savior die in front of you.

(( WARNING! ⚠️ ))

Tears are streaming down your face when he lifted them up and kissed you, you headbutted him and he winced in pain. "You're not being a good girl aren't ya? let me teach you some manners" He said in a low voice, he ripped your shirt off and your bra is exposed to him and he laughed like a maniac.

"Look how fucking delicious you're you fucking whore!" he reached for his knife on his side and is about to slice to fabric of your bra, you're currently losing hope and oxygen at this point with having less than a minute left, when suddenly he was punched by Jake.

5..

Jake saw it all unfold infront of him, how he assaulted you. It made his blood boiled. He ran to him and held him up by his neck.

4..

Peter chuckled and spat at Jakes face, "You're her new boyfriend aren't you? She never told me she likes those alien dicks." Peter said.

3..

Jake growled and slowly tightened his grip around Peters neck, " See you in hell (Y/N). " Peter said before Jake killed him by cracking his neck

2..

Jake turned and immediately ran to you picking up the mask he dropped on the process.

1..

You felt your eyes darken and wondered if he'll make it or not. You silently prayed to Eywa to save you and make you one of her Warriors to protect this land.

0..

Jake has placed the masked on you and activated it allowing you to breathe and regain your consciousness, Jake held your human body close to his chest as he cradles you. You began to cry as it traumatized you how Peter was about to do disgusting things to you.

"It's all right baby girl I'm right here, let it all out don't hold back" Jake whispered encouraging words to you as you cried and cried until you fell asleep on his embrace. Jake carried your body towards the link shack and placed you on one of the double deck.

He contacted Norm and ordered for him to take your link shack near the Hallelujah mountains, norm replied yes and made the preparations. He has mixed feelings about this whole incident.

He's confused why he feels like this, wanting to protect you and have you from himself. But he pushed it all down and guarded your body in the link shack until norm and the other pilots and scientists came.

He picked up your Avatar body and made a Camp Near the tree of souls, and laid beside your Avatar body there. he wouldn't allow the same events that happen to him happen to you.

As he stares at your Avatar's Face he wonders if History's Repeating itself

Again...

Chapter 4 is out!

[theywantedplayer]

Can you please write about Arber xhekaj and a trainer? I feel like the forced proximity would make it so good! He’s always getting in fights so maybe she jokes about him just doing it to see her or something? Thank you!!

“You so have a thing for the new first aid chick”

 Kirby teased Arber, they were warming up for their game against the Las Vegas golden knights

“Ha ha” Arber sarcastically responded

“ you go to her for everything”

“ I do not” he tried to defend himself

“remember that one time you split your lip and went to the medical room you were in there for almost the whole third period” Kirby reminded him

 Arber knew Kirby was on to him he was a tough guy so a split with nothing to him but he just had to take any chance to see you

“ she's got the magic touch man” he Shrugged]

“ yeah  Touch on your dick”  Kirby sung out as he skated away

 The game went on and the Habs were up to making it 3:00 to 5:00 the second period was when things started to go south for Arber. Just his luck he took a puck to the nose he quickly rushed off the ice with a small trail of blood flowing behind him on the ice.

 as he walked through the tunnel people and management tried to talk to him but he made a beeline for the room he was looking for

 he swung open the door and a wave of relief washed over him when he saw you. you knew what happened before he was even in your medical room. you were glad you had a small monitor in the top corner of your room so you could watch the game.

 Arber knew what to do he sat down on the medical bed holding his nose the best he could you quickly grabbed some tissue and handed it to him as you grab some other supplies you could feel Arbers eyes on you with your back turned to him and when you turned around you are proven right seeing Arber was  staring at you.

 you both knew what to do since he was in there quite a lot. You gave him a soft smile and stood in front of him. He moved his knees out of the way so you could stand in between them he hoped that you would but you never did in fear of overstepping.

'You really like seein me dont ya" you joked

Arber just smiled up at you

 he was and can be intimidating on the ice but you started to notice the more he came in here the more calm he was

“ okay I'm just going to take off your helmet you need to keep the tissue on your nose” you told him

“ I know the drill” he smiled

 I light laugh fell from your lips as you pulled off his helmet black strands of his hair fell over his forehead so you swiped them back making him smile at your caring  action

“ I need you to tilt your head up” you Told him

 Arber did as he was told you lightly grabbing his rest and pulling the tissue away from  nose

“ How bad is it doc?” Arber joked making you laugh

God he loved your laugh

“ it's not looking good we may have to amputate” you played along grabbing a Q-tip and wetting it just slightly to clean the small cut  under his nose where the puck made contact

 Arber laughed at your joke “ now how would that work?”  he questioned

“ I don't know it was the first thing that came to my mind” you laughed

 As you continued to wipe the blood off the best you could, Arber never stopped staring at your face. He loved the way you focused really hard when you cleaned him up, the way your brows knitted with concentration when you  finished you noticed a small smile on his face.

“ what” you shyly smiled

“ nothing” he tried to play off

“ no what is it  you've been staring at me this whole time” you told him as you threw away one of the Q-tips”

“I just-”

 Arber couldn't believe what he was going to admit but he couldn't stop himself

“ you know why I'm here all the time?”

“ yeah because you getting to fights” you stated but you saw Arber's face twitch slightly at your words and you try to explain your words the best you could without offending him

“I mean it's not a bad thing I think it's great I mean I get worried but I know you can handle your own but still” you rambled on

 are we just smiled at your rambling he knew he fought in hockey lots and he was fine with that he just watched you ramble until you noticed the smile creeping up onto his face

“ sorry” you shyly apologized rubbing your arm

“ no don't apologize it's cute” he said

 you felt he begin to brew in your cheeks you've always thought Arber was very attractive when you started working with the Habs you were very nervous but all the players were very welcoming you've gotten to know Arber the best and quite well since he's in the medical room lots but before you could respond he started talking again

“ Remember when I split my lip last week?” he asked

“ yeah and you were whining like a little baby” you laughed remembering

“ okay I wouldn't say like a baby” he laughed “ what I'm trying to say is I was fine,”

You gave him a confused look

“ when you started working here I thought you were so pretty and I found myself getting flustered around you like how you are with me right now”  he admitted

 he was right you were getting very flustered you tried to hide it but you couldn't stop the blush from showing on your face at his words

“ I just wanted to get to know you and I didn't know how so these little moments were all I had”

“ why didn't you ask me out or do something out of work” you asked

“ because if you said no it would have been sooooooo  awkward” he groaned leaning back making you laugh

“ So what are you trying to say?”  you questioned

 wanting to make sure you knew where this was going

“ damn it Y/n  I'm trying to say I like you…… a lot at the point where I get hurt and hockey and I get excited I get to see you” He confessed

 you couldn't stop the smile from spreading across your face at his words

“ really?”

“ yes really”  he admitted

“ I really like you too……….. a lot” you smiled now standing in between his legs Arbor couldn't help but place his hands on the back of your thighs

“ what a coincidence that we both like each other” he joked

“ I know right so weird” you played back

“ so remind me again of what two people do when they like each other” he asked

“Mhhnm yes  well what the guy usually does is go back out on the ice and finish the game” you smiled 

Arber was fine to go back into the game and play, the cut under his nose was small and harmless.

“ if I'm being honest I think I'm fine right here”  he smiled

 you grabbed his helmet and shoved it lightly into his chest he took the hint and slowly got up and walked backwards towards the door stopping in the doorway

“Arber you have to go” you laughed softly shoving his chest but he stayed put

“ wait for me after the game” he told you

“ I'll be here in my lare”  you gestured to your medical

“I just wann-” “ XHEKAJ LET'S GO!!” Someone yelled

 making him turn his head but he quickly turned back to you before you could even  say anything he grabbed you by the waist pulling his lips into yours you were shocked at how quick the kiss was but it's still left you breathless when he pulled away and started  to hustle down the tunnel as he yelled

“ wait for me”

“ like I told you I'll be here” you yelled back 

[rise-my-angel]

You just said you don't write a lot about young reader because it's hard to find content to write about, but now i just can't stop thinking about little reader and Ned being around each other ahhhh😭😭 mimi please spoil us a little, maybe a snipet? a little one-shot 🙂‍↕️

Remember the reader was basically the first test for Ned at being a father to a daughter. The reader taught him how to be a girl dad. Since she wasn't there for normal duties that highborn girls would have, you were there to learn from him so you were around him for his business a lot.

But you were the complete opposite of his sons, and the complete opposite it seemed, of the Baratheons he already knew. You were small, quiet, shy, and innocent. He would actually check in on you via Robb and Jon to see how you were fitting in as someone around their age, and encourage both of them to directly involve you more because you clearly weren't comfortable with inserting yourself into their circle as a friend.

They both wanted too, but Ned really gave both of them that push because he wanted to see you do well here. He didn't know if you were coming back after this stay, but he quickly became very attached to the idea and giving you as good of a time and learning experience as possible would help that.

Ned would be such a dad when you arrive. A bright smile as he hugs you, asking how the trip was and making sure you eat and asking about what was going on with you at home. Ned would honestly greet you like he was your dad that only got to see you every other weekend after the divorce. Especially when you were young and small.

You alone essentially prepared him for Sansa and Arya, and even then, he always still treated you like one of his own. You never knew about it, but in the raven sent to him by Stannis when you were sent there at 14, it did specify to Ned that part of what the worry was, was the Lannisters using their sway with Robert to arrange a marriage for you in their favour and he needed to keep you far from such things until he could handle the situation. Which in turn, Ned knew that now you were a teenager, more Northern boys would pay attention to you and basically did the same.

Just the intimidating dad behind your back glaring at the boy trying to flirt with you in the courtyard even though you dont realize it. Of course you'd complain to him that the boy was keeping you from your duties and how annoyed you were and he'd just try not to laugh because if by then you didn't realize how much Jon and Robb did the same thing, you certainly wouldn't realize Ned was looking out for you.

The more you opened up as a girl, the more everyone certainly noticed Ned smiled a little more softly and fondly more often. It was no surprise how easily he became to be the father his daughters knew they could always go to him with anything or tell him anything, because he had great practice in gaining the trust of you, the most quiet and reserved little girl he'd ever known.

Side note, Varys in his final visit to Ned in the Black Cells informed him that Ser Barristan had helped you escape, and you made it all the way to Robb as you both now were marching to war to save his. And it was one of the last moments of relief he had down there all alone.

His last image of you was you both being dragged apart down to separate cells, and he knew if he could possibly escape execution the liklihood for you was so much less and he had as much releif knowing you escaped, as he did in his final moments looking up to see Arya was not there to see it anymore. Which is a testament to how much he saw you as his own.

[faerishv]

psst..guess who has another req! Hanako, Nene, Kou, Natsuhiko, Sakura, and Tsukasa with a y/n that looks angry/sad as their resting face (also if u want me to limit my reqs, pls lmk i dont wanna overwhelm you <3!!) - 🐝

don't worry , reqs are not a problem , i just have a lot to study so im a bit slow !!

angry / sad resting face

; hanako :

when he met you he always tried to avoid talking to you much because he thought about what reaction you could have towards him ( he was a little scared of just you tbh ) ; tho he has to admit that your face looks fascinating even if you look always angry / sad. When nene asked you gently if you were really angry / sad , hanako butted in the conversation , he wanted to have an answer about you face ; you explained that it was just your resting face , you weren't really angry nor sad. This explanation calmed down the boy , he began to have more conversations with you and actually noticed that your personality was far different from the "emotions " you show on your face.

; yashiro :

she felt intimidated by you but curious too ; even if your face looks angry / sad she still thinks you're really pretty. She tried to talk to you and realized you are actually a nice person. Seeing the people avoided you because of your face she introduced you to aoi , hanako , kou and mitsuba. Her favourite hobby is to squeeze your cheeks so that you look like your smiling ( with your consent ofc ) she loves your resting face but she also loves seeing a smile from time to time.

; kou :

he was kinda scared of you because you kept watching him with your angry / sad look. Little did he know , you thought he was really cool and wanted to be friend with him , you just had a problem on approach him. Instead he thought you had some problems with him or you hated him. He asked some recommendations to teru and he said to try and talk to you , like civil people. He found you on the roof alone ; he felt bad for you , maybe you weren't a bad person like he thought at first. He asked you to explain and you admitted you just wanted to be friends ; he was shocked but accepted right away.

; tsukasa :

he liked your espression and told sakura that he wanted to know you well. he bombarded you with questions of why you looked always angry / sad ; tho he was just curious , he didn't mean any harm ( for now ). You became his second ( third if natsuhiko is an assistant as well ? ). He began to be attached tto you much more than he does with sakura and he wanted to take parts of his evil plans 😦. He does the same thing yashiro does eith your cheeks but he doesn't ask permission.

; sakura :

instead of an angry / sad face she has a tired resting face ( and it's so beautiful on her let's be honest ). She's silent most of the times but she thinks that your face looks pretty too and distinguishes you from all the others. The times you smile , you can be sure that she'll remember it. Overall she treats you like a normal human being unlike others .. ( i don't know what to write for her anymore )

; natsuhiko :

he literally doesn't care about your resting face , he thinks everything about you is beautiful and treats you like a god / dess ( have you seen how he treast sakura ). He will not ask you about your face and try to make you smile by force. He gets all blushy if you look at him with your angry / sad gaze. If you smile at him he will literally faint please help him.

natsuhiko is so underrated ..

[lemmetreatya]

idk why but I would love to see Eren, Connie, Jean, etc. working as security guards lmao! I just feel like they would be very unserious.

girl?!?!?! you already know the diabolically STEWPID shit they’d get up to 😭😭

the three of them would be the late night shifters so most the stuff they get up to would take up most of their time

have a feeling theyd be security guards for like a hotel or something so a job where most people aren’t disturbing them at that time of night

but man the antics theyd get up to?? so bold in how theyd hop into the kitchen and start cooking up a storm with the continental breakfast that’s for the customers in the morning

frying up about 5 sausages, bacon and eggs each 😭😭 drinking up all the cereal and milk whilst they play loud drill via connie’s phone in an empty cup for a speaker

since theres barely any trouble around that time, they’d watch F1 and UFC matches on the display tv in the reception area — feet kicked up on the desk as they gamble and make bets between each other

there’d only be two hotel staff onsight and most of the time hotel night workers are getting linen and press ready for the morning and working on imports, so if theres trouble within the hotel, they’re first port of call

and ofc sometimes people be smoking up in the rooms and doing things against the rules and theyd have to sort it out — and they always take that job SO seriously 😭😭

“hey, guys?”

the soft voice of the team member petra called out towards the three men who were loitering by the reception.

turning round with his thumbs round his belt loops, connie nodded upwards at her

“yo, wassup?”

shifting her weight from foot to foot, the ginger haired girl looked nervous as she said her next words

“uhm… someones smoking in room 312. i knocked for them to open up so, so that they…so i could tell them to stop but they didn’t—”

eren cuts in to put his hand up in petra’s face, his expression serious.

“don’t worry. we’re on it.” turning round to jean, eren throws him his lighter. “which plan we doing tonight?”

jean catches erens lighter with one hand whilst he places down his plate of food with the other.

“they sound hostile so maybe C. although let’s try A2 first, just to avoid filling out any risk assessment sheets.”

these men would purposely intimidate anyone who tried this shit. they’d ask the hotel staff to ring up the name of the individual who booked the rooms, they’d put their walkie talkies on loud so they could sound like cops communicating to each other — gosh they’d even rapt the doors with their knuckles, ears to the wood, and put on fake authoritarian tones

theyd definitely play good cop bad cop whilst the other confiscates shit off them, pretending to be on their side

“look if you just give me the roll ups, ill tell the staff not to put a flag under your account name, alright?”

they dont give two DAMNS about that shit, they just see it as a way to get free cigarettes/weed/poppers

although all three of them are still great guys to have as security staff! if there’s anyone in a vulnerable position that runs to them for help, they’re on it!

working in a hotel means they see a lot of people coerced into rooms and situations they either dont want to be in or not in the right mind to be in

even tho they like to play cop, when the actual cops come, they make sure they protect those who are the victim in the situation or the ones who didn’t instigate

“so you didn’t see the person who totalled the car come this way?”

connie juts his bottom lip out as he shakes his head

“nah man. as i said, i heard a loud screech, ran outside to check, saw a turned over car, but when i checked the car? nobody.”

the cop eyes connie up and down before scribbling in his notepad.

“alright, if you say so.” he pockets the book in his back pocket. “but if you see anything, you’ll say right?”

“of course officer! totally officer!” he lies

little did he know, jean was attending to the light wounds of the woman behind the desk of the reception whilst eren was using her phone to call her sister to come pick her up

all in all, theyd still do their job to the standard they should!!

they definitely conspire with each other beforehand when they each log in their timetable dates so they can be on the same shift

but theyre good pals regardless and even if its just two of them on a shift its still a vibe lool

[shesmore-shoebill]

i know we talk a lot about amangela/courtmanda/courtmangelarasha but how do we think can shourtmanda (or even shourtmancer) ‘happen’ in the rpf universe we’ve built into hour minds

OOH interesting. hmmm. okay. my standard "F in rpf is for fiction, none of this is real or intended as speculation about actual people or their relationships, etc" disclaimer.

Also some additional disclaimers- the first is that i actually dont touch shourtney a lot in my rpf worldbuilding or characterizations, partly BECAUSE it's real, and as such has like. Such extensive and documented IRL "history" that I either would prefer to scrap that history entirely (at the cost of "inaccuracy", whatever that means in rpf lol), or I fear I'd start to start edging into something that feels like investigation/speculation territory about the actual relationship/people. Which I don't want to do.

Its a very specific weird distinction i like to keep in my brain with rpf where i dont like verging into writing/speculating/analyzing something that tempts into speculation about a real life relationship. vs like IRL Amanda has a husband so anytime i write without her husband we're already clearly in fake world territory. personal thing for me at least. So i love having Shourtney as background dynamic but havent thought a ton about JUST them in the rpf world. 🧐

Also re: both shayne and spencer, i respect and appreciate them both as people and i vibe with Shayne on a LOT of the takes we see from him. But I Do Not Swing That Way, at least last I checked. Tragically. Not at all opposed to writing/fleshing out characterization about it, or speculating on what it COULD look like in the rpf, etc, but. Everyone be nice about factual inaccuracies or oddities for characterizations/descriptions of attraction on that front, ok. Im doing my best off of incomplete info lmfao.

Anyway, all that said, I think I'd feel most comfortable with a Shourtmanda that starts with either Shaymanda or Courtmanda (again, fully wiping out history). I think Shaymanda starting out could be very fun and compelling. Shayne and Amanda getting close with the podcast is something that has a lot of potential! Amanda as an at-times intimidating figure who Shayne gets to know better; Amanda maybe assuming Shayne doesn't like her much until she gets to know him better. I think anything with Shayne in my rpf characterization has to go like. Respect/friendship first, if that makes sense. I think even if he found her attractive early on it would be like. a low priority thing compared to just trying to get to know her as a person. Amanda in my rpf world, i love but I dont think she would have been attracted AT FIRST- but as she gets to know him better it sort of. takes over. Two people getting to know each other better and uncovering facets they really like and respect....

Amanda makes the first move. Of course. I think it would take that for Shayne to properly consider liking Amanda as even a Thing, even if he thinks she's attractive. But once she acthally expresses attraction/desire to try something out... things get interesting. I think it would be pretty responsible and healthy in general, though. Clear communication probably.

As for Courtney getting looped in, lets see. I think Courtney is close enough with them both that she would be in the loop about feelings before both of them are. Probably from Amanda's side first. It might start as fun jokes between friends but over time.... Amanda maybe worrying about it/coming to Court to get their opinion on like- hey. I actually do really like Shayne. how do i do this without fucking it up. I'd love Shourtney as an established friendship where Shayne and Courtney know each other well and trust each other, but Shaymanda are the ones to take the plunge first- with Courtney aware and even helping. And maybe as things progress, maybe Amanda helps Shayne realize some of his feelings, or Amanda keeps looking at Court but feels guilty about it, and Courtney maybe feels... odd about them getting together even though they helped it happen..... anyway. is the vision here clear. i like this idea.

OR. Courtmanda first. THIS is fun. Communication would not be as clear from the start, because I think similar to all my other Courtmanda AU's. There's already the flirting. There's already the attraction. So much fun potential for them to Not Be Communicating Cleanly and have confusing feelings mixed in. We could have messy FWB Courtmanda with Shayne freaking out bc some of his closest friends are. Making Choices. about each other. OR Courtmanda could take their time getting together, both talk about Shayne, and then poor Shayne experiences both Amanda and Courtney DUAL flirting with him while he panics about disrupting their relationship (they are both aware and fine with the other person's flirting but they maybe forgot to make that clear to Shayne). Courtmanda first with Shayne as a close friend to both Courtney AND Amanda has so much fun potential though. Shayne being protective of Courtney towards Amanda....... many options. very fun.

Shourtney first is easy, in some ways, even if I dont find it as fun to consider. Shourtney first, and then just. Their work wife. its the jokes about work wife and its Courtney flirting with Amanda and Amanda flirting with Shayne and its all fun and jokes till its not. Ill let people who are more Shourtney knowledgable take over that one tho haha.

Roadtrip

Papa and the Nameless Ghouls have started their tour, which means all of them trapped in a small van for hours at a time. That means trouble.

SFW✨

TW: None ❤️

Copia Emeritus tiredly marched to the tour van that was holding all 8 of his tired Ghouls and Ghoulettes. He was holding a thermal mug of kid’s temp coffee, and eye bags to show he truly needed the caffeine. The one downside to touring for the ministry was dealing with his Ghouls for so long.

This would be a nightmare…

As the anti-pope approached the van, he could already see it shaking, and could hear hysterical laughter from within that could belong only to Swiss. Papa huffed, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and opened the door to the van.

"Papa!" "Hey, Papa!"

The voices belonged to Swiss and Aurora, the most energetic of the Ghouls. They just fed off of each other's energy all the time. Copia couldn't understand how the two of them either didn't get sick of each other or didn't grow physically tired from screaming, dancing, and running around all the time.

Cumulus sighed and nodded in greetings toward Copia as he sat down in the van beside of a slumbering Mountain. Mountain was the smartest of the group, as he was equipped with sound-proof headphones to block out Swiss and Aurora for the whole trip.

"Listen, Ghouls," the Papa commented, getting everyone's attention (minus Mountain, but he really didn't need to hear what was being said because he acted like an angel 24/7), "We have a long 5-hour drive. It's 4am, and frankly, I want to sleep like Mountain over here. Please, for the love of Satan, do not be loud."

Swiss and Aurora giggled while shooting little glances at one another.

"Of course, Papa. We will all behave," Cirrus, who was like the mother of the Ghouls, replied while shooting Aurora a knowing look, silently telling the youngest Ghoulette to behave, "Let's all just get some shut-eye, okay?"

Sodo elbowed Swiss in the side as the driver of the van began to move, "Only person you'll have to worry about is Swiss I assume. Everyone else here is as tired as you are, Papa. We will be quiet."

Copia exhaled and nodded while placing his travel bag on his lap. He dug out a sleeping mask and a small pillow, which he placed against the window so he could lean on it and hopefully get some shuteye, "Good to hear. Now I am going to try and sleep. Do not wake me up."

Although the anti-pope's words were law, Aurora and Swiss alike weren't very intimidated. Copia liked to appear tough and scary, but in reality, he was a sweet, thoughtful guy that no one in the ministry feared. That wasn't a sign of weakness though. Copia was highly respected by the Ghouls, Ghoulettes, and other members of the ministry, but they weren't afraid of him.

Cirrus and Sodo both shot looks towards Aurora and Swiss before joining Papa and Mountain in their slumber. That just left Cumulus, Rain, Phantom, Swiss, and Aurora that were awake.

"What do you guys wanna do?" Phantom whispered towards the remaining-awake Ghouls, "I want to jam a bit but I doubt Copia would appreciate that."

Swiss looked over at Phantom with mischief in his eyes. The younger Ghoul looked up to Swiss immensely, and Swiss knew this. He liked to capitalize on the fact that Phantom wanted to impress him so badly.

"Well, if you really want my advice on how to pass some time, Aurora and I really love pranks," Swiss cracked with a devious smile, "I'm sure you know this already."

Phantom's tail began to wag at the sound of being included in one of Swiss and Aurora's legendary pranks, "What did you have in mind?"

Cumulus cleared her throat and glared at the three other Ghouls. They couldn't see her eyes due to her mask, but they all knew she was looking at them in annoyance and disappointment.

"You all heard what Papa, Cirrus, and Sodo said. No pranks. Just let them sleep. We all have a hectic day ahead of us."

"Don't be such a buzzkill," Rain commented from beside Sodo; the fire-Ghoul's head resting on his shoulder as he drifted into sleep, "Let them do what they want. It'll be amusing, and frankly, we have a lot of driving on this tour. Let them have their fun because we are all going to have to do this over and over again."

No one anticipated Rain to be on Swiss' side. He was usually very quiet and obedient to Papa, but he knew Swiss and Aurora's pranks were harmless. The water-Ghoul was right; anything to pass the time would be appreciated.

Cumulus just huffed and turned her head away from the scheming Ghouls, "Whatever. If I find out you included me in this prank, I will not be happy."

"Don't worry, Cumulus!" Aurora giggled while playfully leaning her head onto the older Ghoulette's shoulder, "You and Cirrus won't get pranked. We know the two of yours' wrath is scarier than anything Papa or the boys could do. You're both safe."

This was true. Cirrus was probably the scariest member of the entire ministry. It took a lot to piss her off, but when she did reach that boiling point, it was ugly. Everyone involved would regret messing with her; no doubt about that.

The air-Ghoulette just huffed and shut her eyes, attempting to get some sleep, just like the rest of the members of the band. Phantom couldn't help but chuckle and turn to face Swiss and Aurora.

"What's the plan then, you two?"

Swiss chuckled lightly and motioned for the two younger Ghouls to get close so he could whisper to them, "It's kind of stupid, but it's a harmless prank which is the important part. We don't want to get our asses beaten by Papa if we wake him up."

The three Ghouls exchanged whispers and muffled laughter as they contemplated what they would do. After a few moments, they figured out their plan.

It would take incredible care to make this work. They would need to be very gentle, careful, and quiet.

Phantom's job was to make sure everyone was asleep. He would wave his clawed hands in front of the sleeping Ghouls' faces to see if they would have any reflexive response. Luckily, everyone, even Rain and Cumulus, had drifted off to sleep.

Aurora's job was to steal everyone's masks. Yes, that's right-- steal everyone's masks.

The Ghoulette skillfully padded over to the unexpecting members of her band, and with her perfectly manicured hands, began to peel the masks off her fellow Ghouls. The driver of the van snickered to himself as he watched this whole prank take place-- secretly thanking Satan that he wasn't a target.

Now, once all of the masks had been collected, it was time for Swiss' job. His job was to mismatch the masks and give them back to the wrong Ghoul...

"They're going to kill us," Aurora giggled quietly while peeling away Sodo's mask; the blond Ghoul not reacting in the slightest as his mask was removed, revealing his face.

Swiss chuckled and took the mask from Aurora and nibbled his lip in thought. The multi-Ghoul was contemplating about which mask should go to which Ghoul...

He finally decided that Sodo's mask would go to Mountain (due to the fact that Sodo had the smallest head, and Mountain had the biggest), Mountain's would go to Sodo, Cumulus' would go to Rain, Rain's would go to Cirrus, and Cirrus'... they would have to find something else to do with Cirrus' helmet.

Phantom high-fived Aurora and Swiss before settling into his own seat; a small yawn leaving his lips, "I'm going to try and get some sleep now. Thanks for including me in this little prank. It was very fun."

Swiss approvingly nodded while patting Phantom's shoulder, "Thanks for joining in. It'll be nice for Papa to take his anger out on someone besides Aurora and me for once. Who knows? Maybe you'll join our little pranks more often. You did your job very well."

Phantom swelled with pride at Swiss' compliment. He even managed to purr a little bit; his tail swishing around in happiness, "Thanks, Swiss."

Aurora purred at the sight, and as Phantom settled into his own slumber, she leaned her head on Swiss' shoulder.

"It's really sweet that you've decided to include him like this," she whispered to her best friend as Phantom began to doze off, "I can tell he really looks up to you."

Swiss chuckled, revealing his teeth from the opening in his mask as he did so, "It's nice. Phantom is a good Ghoul, and he will do a good job for the ministry. Someone's got to take him under their wing, and Sodo isn't really the type to befriend the new Ghouls. I'm more than happy to show Phantom that we aren't all antisocial jerks."

Aurora hesitantly grabbed Cirrus' helmet from under her seat, which was where Phantom had left it. She eyed Swiss expectantly; a toothy grin appearing on her perfect lips, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Oh, hell yes I am, Aurora," the multi-Ghoul replied while slowly removing Phantom's mask from his head; fully betraying the young Ghoul. He placed Cirrus' mask on Phantom's head, quietly stifling his giggles.

He knew Phantom would be upset, but Swiss was secretly protecting the younger Ghoul. No one would suspect he was apart of this prank if he too was pranked. Phantom would definitely have to work up to become on the same level as he and Aurora were-- they had thick enough skin and a ton of pranking experience to be able to take the punishments.

Swiss was doing Phantom a favour, and besides...

No one was immune from Aurora and Swiss' pranks...
