#so now all of y’all are gonna suffer 😌

[peaches2217]

Bowser is evil. This is objective, unarguable, a solid-state fact. What’s more open to interpretation (depending on what side of his kingdom’s borders you’re on) is whether he’s actually a bad guy or not.

His citizens near-unanimously see him as a good person; he cares for their well-being, makes frequent public appearances to interact with common folk in all corners of the kingdom, personally leads his armies into battle. In their eyes he’s stern and maybe a little trigger-happy (he’s all too happy to dole out capital punishment where he sees fit), but ultimately fair. And his kids — oh, don’t get me started on his kids! You wouldn’t expect someone so tough and fierce to be affectionate towards anyone, but he dotes on his children openly and without restraint. It’s largely for their sake that he seeks world domination. The more territory trapped within his scaly fist, the more he can give to them as future rulers!

The thing is, if you’re not Bowser’s kids or a citizen of the Darklands, you’re expendable. He’s hotheaded, but he doesn’t even particularly hate anyone (though he admittedly delights in the suffering of anyone he deems an enemy). Anyone that stands in his way is little more than a nuisance. Age, gender, species, none of this matters to the Koopa King. If you have something he wants, he intends to take it. If you resist, he will kill you. Needless to say, those who end up in his line of sight are… less likely to consider him a decent person.

Peach, for example, has nothing good to say about him. She was his earliest target for a variety of reasons: proximity, the abundance of native-growing power-ups in her kingdom’s wildlands, the lack of resistance he knew her citizens would put up, the petty joy that came from the thought of taking down someone so powerful and beautiful and reducing her to a withered husk of her old self. After many years of sending in random ambushes in the hopes of lowering her guard with their predictability, he finally swooped in and took her by force, vowing to murder her and everyone she held dear unless he was given total control of her kingdom — twice in the span of two years. His first attempt was humiliatingly thwarted just days after the princess’ abduction; his second attempt, while nearly successful, just about ended in his demise, because apparently the only force stronger than a fire-breathing dragon-turtle is a plumber in love.

So ever since his recovery from that fateful fight, Bowser has moved onto other conquests. But he always tells himself and his kids that, once he’s taken over the rest of the world, he’ll have more than enough resources to kill the Mushroom Queen and thwart that pest that stands in the way of his greatest, most well-deserved victory! It’s just… going to take time. All things take time! It’s not that he’s scared of some human who just barely clears 5’, or that he still feels phantom pains from getting his shell split clean open by said human’s bare hands, of course not! What, are you trying to say he’s weak?! Blasphemy! To the gallows! To the gallows with you all!!

Free! Anniversary Fic Recs 🦋🐋🐬🦈🐧 Can you share your fav fics from each year (2013-2023) Free! has been around?

This is a very fun ask!! Lemme root through my bookmarks and see what I can find 😅

2013 - A lot of the stories I have saved from this time are shorter lil one-shots like “Never Leave” by Shimegami (classic mh hug-it-out interlude fic) and “The Sound of Settling” by teke (feelings realization stuff), but one other one I liked was “The Ocean You Gave My Heart” by miaoujones. Smut warning for that one (if that’s not your thing), but something about desert-bound Makoto learning to swim and indulge in water with Haru, thinking upon meeting him that he’s a wonder whether he’s really a mermaid or not, that’s neat!!

2014 - starting to realize the ones I kept any note of from the early years are some of the popular mh fics probably already recommended 10 times over, but there’s a reason why people sing their praises. If you haven’t checked out fics from tide tothemoon like 2/13189000 (mhtokyo my beloved), their writing is *chef’s kiss* delightful. Another AU I haven’t been able to bring myself to revisit was orihime’s reincarnation stories from “I cannot be without you, matter of fact.” There are two different stories, one where Makoto remembers their past lives and a follow up where Haru remembers, and oh that made me ache dude.

2015 - Speaking of suffering, have y’all checked out Heart’s Departure yet? I think we’ve referenced and talked about that story enough for it to speak for itself 🥴 heartbreaking circumstances but still cosmic and so so beautiful. Then, once you’re done crying about that story, hop over to “Shake the Heavens” by Ad_Astra to break down over (what I described in my ao3 bookmark) Makoto and Haru’s “inherently cataclysmic devotion.” I guess 2015 was the year of shoving the boys into tragic AUs and seeing how much they were willing to give up to get back to each other. A whole vibe

2016 - let’s goooo gamers, more AUs!! “I’d Create Oceans For You” by trashness is a fun fantasy adventure that has both tender moments and interesting action (and some banger art from donguris omggg). If you want something more future-fish-flavored that shows that happily-ever-after doesn’t save you from your grief, “Sublimation” by RedScribbler was great. You can find more of my thoughts on that one if you scroll back a bit in my “fic recs” tag — one of y’all sent it in and yeeees it was so up my alley!

2017 - Alright fellas, there are so many to choose from, because now we’re getting into the macbetha years! Who would I be if I didn’t mention “Eyes Wide Open All The Time” tbh?? It’s a long one with its own hard-hitting involved lore and world-building, but Beth builds this unique story in a way that pulls from the characters we know and love so effectively. I’ve sung the praises for this story multiple times (and could so do it again bro don’t tempt me) but I’ll end off with saying that if you’re fascinated in watching deeply-wounded people who’ve been put through hell learn how to make a life in the aftermath, there’s something special for you here. Aaaand, if you want something about 1/10 the length and not as heavy, “159 (Architect/Interior Designer AU)” by intoxicatedcinnamon has some fun moments 😌 that’s another one where you can find more of my thoughts somewhere in the fic recs tag (love when y’all send me stories 💚💙)

2018 - “Coral and Bone” by Macbetha my beloved!!!! Wanna play mermaids and fight the gods? Maybe try to find that summer magic that makes you want to keep going and accidentally fall in love on the way? I am puuushing you toward this story bestie. Everyone’s here and everyone’s having fun! OH ALSO I’m throwing in “Night Changes” by SEMellark because I love stories where Makoto and Haru actually figure out how to talk to each other. (Side note — a lot of these are probably gonna be things I’ve rec’d in the past, so feel free to scroll my tag for more details and consider this list an extra endorsement 😅)

2019 - (drops basket full of love for mutuals) OOPS OOPS OOPS!!! Don’t mind me, just popping in with some “Let’s Get Married” by sagesprouts and “Anthropocene” by testosterogna, nothing to see here but some classic natsunao shenanigans and one of the sickest elemental bender AUs out there 😌✨ I also have some fics from Svana saved from this year, but I’ll be mentioning her again later so hold on okay!!

2020 - alright, now the list is getting longer with everyone jumping back in during the early pandemic days 🏃🏻‍♀️SO FIRST OFF “green eyes, you’re the one I wanted to find” by infinite_always is an absolute FLUFF FEST of a soulmate AU! Unbearably tender moments but who doesn’t love that every so often? OH AND we have another one of my all-time ultimate fic recs here!! “Reaching” by CupNoodles55 has shaped and reshaped how I look back at Eternal Summer in the way I’d want any great canon-compliant fic to. Big love for interlude scenes and extra bits that help recontextualize or deepen what a moment could’ve meant in the show. Gonna end off 2020 with “The Sea Aflame” by Dizzydodo because even though this urban fantasy story is unfinished, I was super drawn in by the prospects of dragon!Makoto and whatever god stuff was going on with Sousuke. An interesting universe I love thinking about again from time to time.

2021 - Starting off strong with “love on the water, love underwater (and so on)” by rudimentaryflair because we love introspection here!!! Lovely writing style with lines that make me want to scale the walls. This take on Makoto is so so special. Also gonna rec “To Clear Away Today” by suhmayzooka (omg hiiii) if you want to be thrown into another hard-hitting intricate AU with loads of potential. Love exploring what we’ve got to see of the world so far 💞 and OOOH IT’S TIME!! “Extraordinary” by Svana_Vrika is basically canon to me at this point. Svana has a lot of sweet shorter stories with Makoto and Haru (look here, look here), but this one is everythinggg my guy. Similar appeal to “Reaching” mentioned earlier: a story of interludes that bring the story we already know to life in a delightful new way. Required reading for mhtokyo fans forreal. ONE LAST ONE OKAY!! “Teacher” by VeloxVoid is a great future fic with teacher!Makoto and artist!Haru (and I’m not biased just bc it was a gift exchange for me with details fit to my specific tastes wdym🧍🏻). Domestic blisssss

2022 - Ooh we’ve almost caught up y’all ☺️ gonna start with “All This and Heaven Too” by SocksAreArgyle because sometimes the bestie crafts a smorgasbord of smut with a delicious throughline of character/relationship development baked in. If you want your choice of spicy makoharus or some character exploration, you’re SET with this one. Next is “I Let My Heart Go” by martincrieff because sometimes the bestie looks at poor pining Makoto and goes “you know what would be messed up?” AND I JUST !!! So full of love and now full of flower petals. Hanahaki!Makoto my dearest boy!! Aaaand ending off the year with some tender mh (to Ikuya’s detriment) in “The Night Train” by Lizzyboo. They’re so softtt with each other and UGH this story is so nice. Love watching people take the crumbs from FS/FS2 and make a meal 💜

2023 - The year is young! And old! So here’s some more, with who knows how many bangers yet to come 🎉 First going to throw in the Makoharu Week 2023 collection for your perusal because I saw some fantastic stories emerge from that event. If you have twitter, I’d recommend also seeing some of the threadfics posted over there from the event as well 💚💙 and I thiiink I’m gonna close off for now with “just like it was always meant to be” by tonfea because they’ve been putting out banger stories that deserve all the love. Haru introspection is one of those things that isn’t always done very well (which is especially hard to reckon with in older fics) but tonfea’s stories all have an intimate understanding about Haru’s mind and journey that just makes sense.

Alright hello we made it to the end!!! Might’ve thrown in more than expected but I hope makoharu enjoyers find something on this list that fits their fancy 🥲 (and if anyone wants to rec something or ramble about a story here that they loved I’m all ears)

[bboisawesome]

Probably lmk season 4 spoilers. I type things and rant without thinking so, just a fair warning.

We good?

Okay….

First things first…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

WHAT!?!?

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!! HOW DO I BEGIN!?!?

I just wanna say, I might have missed certain contexts because I watched English sub on YouTube, and I was freaking out the whole time. So if there is something I miss or misunderstand that might be why.

I guess some simple thoughts is where I’ll start?

Official monkey MK design!! How are y’all feeling about that one!?!? My boi was glitching and I felt real bad for him!

I couldn’t really tell if they were trying to say he was also born from a stone, or if Monkey King somehow made him? Or…what? Or if it was purposely vague just so they could do the whole, “It doesn’t really matter who you are, you are who you choose to be thing.” I was slightly confused and freaking out.

Either way, I was screaming the whole time. I died when MK called Pigsy his dad, because yes! He is. And my boi Pigsy really had the gall to say he was more of a godfather!?!?!? MK says you’re a dad? You’re a dad!

Which also, MK kind of went ahead with calling Azure Lion Uncle, soooo…confirmed Wukong dad as well?

MK getting all the dad’s and uncles. Kind of jealous. Even if some of them are causing issues. Especially Azure. Not cool dude.

They really heightened the MK angst this season and AAAH!! I can’t handle it!

Seeing the crew with the old crews weapons and stuff was super cool too! I like how during the training scene they had qualities that their past lives or ancestors or whatever hadn’t learned or learned as quickly. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t also learn from the past. Mei is awesome, but I agree girl has to plan ahead more and stuff. I love her to death though.

Pigsy’s was nice to see. (Also soup bending from my man Pigsy.) He may be a bit tough on the outside, but he really does care for his friends and family, and I love that! Now he just needs to get super strong to help them out!

Calling Tang out was funny. My poor useless scholar shall be useless no more! Flex those brain and courage muscles boi! It was so cool to see more of Tang’s abilities!

And Sandy was perfect all along. I always knew it. 😌 I love how the dude kept sticking silver stars on him. 😂😂 His only flaw? Maybe being a little TOO nice. But, even Sandy knew that and can probably adjust accordingly. He had that character growth in season 2. 😂

Usually I like torturing characters I like, but seeing MK suffering and sad made me sad, and I just wanted someone to hug him. Which he got when reunited and getting his friends out of heaven! So I’ll take it! My boi was still glitching though. Someone gotta do something about that.

There was just so much, I can’t even think of it all or what I want to say or do, besides screaming. Plus I was a little confused in places because I am dumb and it is late. I am definitely gonna rewatch a couple times, and absolutely rewatch when the dub comes out! So maybe my thoughts will be in better order by then? Hopefully I’ll process it more by the time the special or finale comes out? Whichever it may be?

Until then, sorry for my insane ramblings. I just needed to process and yell some more.

I don’t even know how I’m gonna sleep or go to work tomorrow like a normal person! Especially after that cliffhanger!!! AAAAH!!

Definitely gonna look for something to draw too! I need to draw something! Okay, okay…I’m chill. I’m cool. See y’all later, and I hope you can process this new season well.

B-Breeding kink with sanzu though….Reader has a pussy, good girl used once. Uh slight hair pulling? Kinda degradation? Kinda praise? A few ass slaps? This is @simpywhore s fault they triggered my baby fever n now I’m thirsty for sanzu n want his kids. Thanks for Cumming- UH I mean coming 😰 would put read more but idk how ya do that so y’all just gonna have to suffer 😌 oh n uh, I didn’t spell check none of this shit, I’m just thirsty

Face down in the plush pillows of your bed, burying your moans into them as sanzu’s hips slap against your ass, his hands holding your hips firmly In place. Relentlessly bullying his his cock in n out of your dripping folds. He lets out a low groan, the prettiest sound you swear you’ve ever heard “Fuck…. Pussy takin’ me so well sweetheart” switching from his tight grip on your hips he slides his hands hands down, over your asscheeks to spread them open for a better view of his cock disapearing inside your tight walls “ swallowing my cock perfectly baby, like this pussy was made for takin’ my cock. Yeah, baby?” He gave your behind a sharp slap before learning down into your ear “ wasn’t it? You’re made to be my perfect little cockwhore, huh sweet?” He took another gaze at hole squeezin’ around his cock “Look at you.. just beggin’ to be filled up with cum. My cum”

He picked up the pace just right, tip repeatedly gliding over that spot that has you crying into sheets, fingers digging into the soft pillows “P-please sanzu! A-ahh please! Right there!” Arching your back further, pressing your face and chest deeper against the mattress “ ‘M so close!”. He watches you attempt to push your ass further into his cock to hopes of falling over the edge.

He lets a low chuckle slip past his lips, sanzu thinks this is when you look the prettiest. Skin glistening with a thin layer of sweat, makeup smudged all over your face and pillows, staining the white fabrics. He likes the pretty mess you become when you’re stuffed with his cock, pussy drooling and clit puffy from his previous abuse to the sensitive nub. He loves to watch you become dependent on him and begging for your release " You close?” He asks with a smirk, he knows you are from the way your pussy is squeezing and fluttering around him. Nodding your head mindlessly as you let moan after moan fall from your lips, Sanzu scoffs. Grabbing a handful of your hair n pulling you up against his chest. Knees shaking struggling to hold yourself up you grab onto the arm he has hold your face towards his " Use your words, doll. You close? Wanna cream around my cock, Mhm? Make a pretty mess for me?" His baby blues observed your face, drunk off his cock as you slur and struggle to form your words " Y-Yes! Yes! Wanna cum haru please… wanna.. wanna cum so bad" Pleased by your answer, he mummed as in thought before letting you go and pushing back into the mattress roughly. Pounding into your hole mercilessly "Go on then, pretty. Go ahead and cum for me. Make a mess" His cock abusing your sensitive sweet spot and filthy words was the last push you needed to find yourself crying out into the pillows and pussy gushing onto his cock, dripping down the backs of your things.

Sanzu felt his own high quickly approaching as your walls fluttered and squeezed around him growing hotter and impossibly tighter. He let his head fall back, fingers digging into the soft flesh of your hips. His own hips becoming a little less rhythmic and more desperate as he chased his orgasam "F-fuck..shit, gonna knock you up. Fill you to the fucking brim with my kids- Shit!" His hips slammed into you before stilling as he emptied himself inside of your gummy walls. Pressed balls deep into your cunt, his cock spurted out ropes n ropes of warm cum. Painting your insides a pretty white. After finishing his load, he let out a sigh, pretty eyes fluttering open to peer down at where you both join. His cock covered in your slick with his own cum leaking out of your folds onto his length. He stared in awe, this is a sight he knew he could never get tired of seeing. Pulling out gingerly, he hissed. Watching a glob of cum follow after, leaking out your cunt. He sweeped two finger from your clip to your hole, gathering the escaped cum and pushing it back inside. You let out a mewl and clenched around his two digits still inside " shhh, gotta keep it in for me, yeah? Good girl…. Gotta keep it in…" he finished. Still gazing at his fingers plugging up your hole.

My upstairs neighbor was arrested on Sunday 😌 I wasn’t here for it but her mugshot is on the local PD website 🤦🏻‍♀️ along with her boyfriend/father of her kid — who was also arrested Sunday.

Side note: No, I do not think this will change anything. She’s not gonna suffer any extreme consequences for this (she never does) and she’s gonna continue to be a problem for all of us in the building. Our PM told us, months ago, that she will never evict her no matter how many rules she breaks. So yeah… anyways…

We got a nice peaceful night when we got back home Monday evening but that lasted all of about 14 hours. Yesterday evening she seemed to have been fighting/arguing with herself (as I didn’t hear or see anyone else) and screaming about something and slamming into the floor. At first I thought it was because she thought we were responsible for the police be called Sunday. Despite us not even being home. Last time, back during Christmas, when we went out of town she had a fit 2 days after we got back and slammed into our ceiling for about 10 minutes before coming down stairs, hitting our door and, yelling at/threatening us for her getting in trouble for having drugs in her apartment. Of course it wasn’t us (we weren’t even here when she got in trouble) but she’s not very bright. Our car being absent from the parking lot all week didn’t seem to be noticed or the lack of any noise coming from our apartment.

So idk what she was yelling and being angry about last night. One time she was by herself and was mad at some dude (probs the guy who was arrested with her Sunday) that she broke out her own kitchen door window. And then swept all the broken glass off her balcony and onto my patio (y’all know, I told this story already. And yes, glass is still all over our patio along with her cigarettes, trash, kids toys and even old food — almost 5 months later).

And now she’s back on her bullshit. I can only hope that the PM has no say so in her future at our apartment complex and the owners, or housing authority, steps up and does what should have been done a year ago.

We’re leaving this summer no matter what. So this isn’t gonna be our problem for much longer. But the people who live in these apartments don’t have other options. They don’t have a voice. No one cares about them or listens to them. And it’s not fair to them. No one should ever have to live like this. No one should have to come home and feel unsafe and uncomfortable in their own place. Whoever gets this apartment after we leave NEEDS it to be somewhere safe and comfortable. I’m gonna make sure of that too by contacting as many local news stations and re-contacting housing authority, HUD, the owners — people need to stop treating low income residents as if they’re stray dogs; as if they should just be happy that they’re getting the shitty scrap leftovers.
