#so sweet to meeeeeeeeeeee

[beybuniki]

imo there's a big difference between clothes you like/that are trendy and clothes that a character would realistically wear but luckily, bakugo would wear the clothes that i like <- world peace in my brain

[sorrowfulrosebud]

THIS IS MY MOMENT

Omega bakugou who's nest is his everything. He'll crumble from the inside out if he can't spend amy time in his nest. Everything is clean and in place. Nesting has always been Katsuki's one true comfort, and the only place he can feel safe and at peace. Never has anyone even come close to seeing. He's strategically hidden it in his room so its not in immediate sight. An absolute neat freak. Everything needs to be perfect, so dont fuck with the placement of anything. Once water got spilled right smack In the middle if it, and he was just >:0

WORT WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEEEE. Omega Bakugou is my absolute shit, I need to remove my ribs and other organs, stuff him in my chest and sew the skin back over.

𖤐 Omega Katsuki is desperately embarrassed by his second gender. Like, even talking about omega dynamics is enough to piss him off and make him storm to the safety of his nest.

𖤐 Although he does mellow out and come to terms about his secondary gender, it can still really bother him if you badger him about it.

𖤐 So it’s better to just let him come to you about his omegan problems.

𖤐 He refuses to call his nesting what it is too; he just calls it “getting comfortable” and “feeling at home”. Even though he definitely does hide it like you’ve mentioned :(

𖤐 He is really fucking anxious to show you his nest too; hands popping slightly and constantly rubbing his hands on his trousers to soothe his aching nerves.

𖤐 You need to be careful as FUCK in there. His most precious items are in there; limited edition All Might merch, a small quilt his mother made him (do not say anything to anyone) and other various items of clothing.

𖤐 PRAISE HIS NEST. Even if he’s a prickly boy about it, saying that it looks incredibly put together and handsome makes him blush.

𖤐 He definitely has designated spots for you both; he spent his time making this beautiful nest, so you have to respect it goddamnit 😤😤 so no food or drink at all. If you’re hungry or thirsty, you have to do it outside the nest.

𖤐 I honestly think he would have his nest in his wardrobe. It would make the most sense since he has all of his stuff in there, but he definitely pads it out. After the LOV and the war, this guy has a thing for small lights that can help him see in the dark.

𖤐 It’s the one place you can see him totally relax, frown lines softening as slumber overtakes his exhausted body. Volcanic eyes slowly dimming as he stares at you, your hands working their miracle as you trace his scars and play with his hair.

𖤐 Hands you a whole motherfucking checklist of stuff he “absolutely needs for the nest”. Minimum of three hoodies or jackets and a stuffed animal if he’s nearing his heat.

𖤐 He is an ANXIOUS FUCK during his heat. To him, his heat is something that diminishes his reputation; why did a little bit of horniness mean he had to take a week from learning so he could get bred?? He needs his nest to be absolutely immaculate with all of his chosen snacks and drinks for after, in a mini fridge beside his bed. Everything is calculated to a T, and he sends you a list of everything he needs before he goes into heat.

𖤐 As his alpha, you need to be very careful during this time. You have to reassure him that it’s going to be alright, and that he isn’t less of a hero because of this. Promise him that he’ll be taken care of, even if he snaps that he doesn’t need taking care of. You both know he’s lying, his omega whimpering inside him.

𖤐 He needs to be praised. Call him your perfect boy, or the best omega. Really tell him how much he means to you as you hold him down and nibble his mark.

𖤐 Take him to his nest after his heat, and cradle his spent body into yours. Gently feed him some of his favourite snacks and drinks as he tiredly grumbles about crumbs in his nest. Make him blush and purr by saying that you’ll build the next one with him.

𖤐 His scent is sweet and smoky, like a campfire or a barbecue if he’s upset/angry.

𖤐 Secretly adores head kisses. They’re just so intimate to him that they get him purring (only if you’re alone though).

𖤐 Another super sweet angsty boi, thank you for your contribution Mugwort 😘😘😘

Lil Seb: *blows Leander one last raspberry before giggling and trotting over to MC, looking up at her with a "butter wouldn't melt" type face*

MC: Come on, we're going with Garreth, to help FIX this problem..Isn't that right GARRETH! *frowns at him*

Garreth: *another nervous laugh* Y-Yup.

[chloeworships]

I had a vision of Shawn from Boyz II Men today and then as I saw him I heard this song 🎧

👀👀👀

In this video they act like the four angels Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Raphael.

This sent meeeeeeeeeeee ✈️👀

You heard what they said babes. Don’t stay where you’re not loved, appreciated or nourished. A man makes time for what he believes is important to him. Don’t fall for words, fall for his actions. God will not allow you to be mistreated so neither should you.

If real love waltz into your life and you’ve prayed about this person, don’t let him pass you by. Too many people miss opportunities of a lifetime, don’t let this be you girls!! This is your confirmation 💎 Can you open up to this new love?

UPDATE:

Excuse me but in the first scene Shawn is wearing the Star of David ✡️ as a necklace. How interesting the LORD has been showing us, first Michael’s Pendant and now David’s 👀 ✡️ I also had a vision this morning of the Star of David.

Say GOODBYE to abusive relationships. Say GOODBYE to men who neglect you. Say GOODBYE to the Judas in your life. Say GOODBYE to the past, babes. God saw how they treated you. It’s TIME to leave that toxic relationship and/or the man that doesn’t prioritize you. You are slowly KILLING YOURSELF by being with someone who cannot love you fully.

I received this scripture last night and now I understand.

I also had a vision of several maids bringing butter over to me 🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈 It was really sweet of them to come and help me 🥰 I felt like a Queen with her handmaids. It reminded me of the 10 bridesmaids of whom 5 came prepared with lamp stands and oil and the other 5 didn’t have enough and were left behind unable to attend the wedding. I didn’t understand the butter reference until I began making pancakes 🥞😅 when I awoke.

I can’t make this stuff up 😱🤯😳

Maybe you’re new boo is from Israel 🇮🇱 or is Jewish or loves God as much as you do in both word and DEED. Look for his FRUIT 🍓 and don’t rush.

Here is the beginning of the scripture which is relevant to you also.

May the LORD give you a good man, who respects you, your body and your time and may he give you both PEACE 🕊️

Your bridegroom is cominggggggggggg💍

SN. Sex is better when you’re with a man who actually cares for you and isn’t selfish. It’s easier to relax, it’s more enjoyable being around him allowing you to CLIMAX. Selfishness in personality equates to awful (selfish) sex. Just sayin. Wait for ya husband 😏 you ain’t missing out on nothing chileeee 😂 Save yourself for the man who DESERVES you.

Maybe your new boo’s name is Sean/Shawn or Michael

Btw this is one of my favourite songs EVER. Shoutout to the boyz who turned into MEN (the group).

UPDATE II:

OH MY GOSH. I HAD A VISION THIS MORNING OF AN ANGEL HIGH UP IN THE SKY (JUST LIKE IN THE VIDEO) AND IT DROPPED A LAMPSTAND ONTO A CITY. THE ANGEL WAS WEARING ALL WHITE AND NOW IM BEING SHOWN THIS. LAWD HAVE MERCY PRAISE THE LORDT!!!!

I remember asking the LORD what this meant.

OKAAAAAAAAY i’m listening to olivia rodrigo’s new album now and holy SHIT THE FIRST TRACK ALREADY SLAPS

EDIT: okay gonna put out all my thoughts here

traitor is already killing me haha. ain’t it funny how you said you were friends, now it’s sure as hell it doesn’t look like it. haha. ha. this song is so painful for so many reasons, and i already have a lump in my throat lmao. (god i wish we thought this through before i went and fell in love with you. bro. i’m just gonna sit down here.)

drivers license. we already know that this song slaps. 

1 step forward, 3 steps back. okay okay okay, so apparently this was from the sample of new year’s day by the one and only taylor swift, and now i’m :’)) also...yeah, i feel like this song very perfectly captures that weird fascination/confusion with a love that’s probably not good for you and i’m just...”i’m the love of your life until i make you mad.” ouch. 

deja vu. once again. still slaps. 

good 4 u. honestly.........the justified angry teenage angst. yes. i will sure as heck burn down every single timber of the house to this song. 

enough for you. ouch. olivia rodrigo really said “i’m gonna fill you with unapologetic rage in one track and then fill you with an unending sadness in the next”. and also....”i don’t want your sympathy / i just want myself back” and oh godddd...............oh god...........oh god. “don’t you think i loved you too much to be used and discarded” and “don’t tell me you’re sorry, boy, you’re sorry for yourself”....”and they’ll think i’m so exciting / and you’ll be the one who’s crying”. there’s some really raw lyrics here, and there’s some parts that just. ouch. ouch ouch ouch. ouch. 

happier. oh. how can a song be both full of yearning for an old relationship but also be bitter. also, olivia nodding that this other girl is pretty and sweet and nice and like,,,she can’t even bring herself to get mad at this other girl because she gets it, but a part of herself still wishes that the person she’s singing about still isn’t as happy with this new girl as he might have been with her--hm. i’m mostly just impressed by how olivia’s able to walk the line between these two emotions? and kind of acknowledge that weird relatable/selfish feeling of i hope you’re happy, but i hope you’re not as happy with this new person as you were with me because haha, yeah, maybe petty, but...it happens. 

jealousy, jealousy. OHHHH okay now olivia’s spitting some truth here again. the whole lyric about wishing that you could be anyone else............happy for people who are getting what they want, but also kind of not.........also, olivia acknowledging that like “yeah, i know that i’m also pretty, and i know that i’m also successful, but i’m kind of sick of myself and i still compare myself and why is everyone else so cool and why does everyone have a pretty face and a pretty boyfriend and all i see is what i should be....” bro. 

favorite crime. ohhhhh okay. my mind always goes nuts whenever people start comparing love to some kind of dangerous game. but like. my heart breaks a little bit for olivia, just reflecting on like. doing things just to impress someone else. realizing that it wasn’t...going anywhere. (also....oh god....the vocals.) i say that i hate you with a smile on my face. oh look what we became. oh the things i did just so i could call you mine...also added this to my anidala playlist

hope ur ok. olivia reminiscing on a friend she knew when she was little who had it rough. the “if you’re out there, i hope that you’re okay.” :’))) and then reminiscing on a friend she had in middle school. “we don’t talk much, but i just gotta say...i miss you, and i hope that you’re okay.” OH BOYYYY THE BRIDGE OKAY OH BOY..........NOTHING’S FOREVER / NOTHING’S AS GOOD AS IT SEEMS....WHEN THE MONSTERS CREEP INTO YOUR HOUSE AND EVERY DOOR IS HARD TO CLOSE, WELL I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW PROUD I AM.....................oh god. oh goddddddd oh god don’t look at me. ‘cause i love you and i hope that you’re okay. don’t talk to meeeeeeeeeeee. also....the piano at the end. the voices. god. my brain. i’m so. 

anyways, well done miss rodrigo. what a talented gal. honestly, you guys? i think she’s gonna make it big.

You/Dork: 3, 8, 11, 13, 26, 29?

|3

3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes?

lmaooo me as the former and edward latter, at first. he is skinny and has a lil modesty, despite what you’d think with the spandex. but i will teach him the way of Fuck Pants.

8: Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remembered [thing], right?”

both? both. there’s a whole system created about organizing lists pretty quickly so i can remember everything, and so he at least knows what we need without getting sidetracked by other stuff.

though i do it more just because i can tolerate crowds better, believe it or not :V you’d think someone who worked as a carnie would be fine, but at least then he was behind a table or something. (and also, y’know, he is the riddler and people would freak out or at least get in the way if he wasn’t disguised enough.)

11: If they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?

dork does the crazy acrobatics, if he doesn’t bother disarming it all from the outside. i don’t need that sort of stress, man. 

(but i’d pick something that leaves less of a literal trail of crumbs as a snack :V)

13: Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?

again, both! i buy him things and he makes me things. i’m sometimes self-conscious about not being able to make things but he’d treasure just a shiny green rock i found in the woods, so /)///(\

26: Who takes a selfie when the other one falls asleep on their shoulder?

meeeeeeeeeeee. i want All The Pictures. he’s so cute, i love his face and his hair and his being comfortable like that!   

edward would rather just have private moments like that fixed in his mind--aaand unfortunately i don’t fall asleep well when snuggling to give him the chance in the first place |B

29: Which one holds the umbrella over both of them when it rains?

edward! he insists. he's taller, and a gentleman (sometimes).

i let him do it even though i like the rain because god damn that’s so sweet.

[faepunkprince]

The Cat’s Meow - Jumin Han x Fem!Reader Pt 8

Sooooooooo....Bonus chapter? Yes? No? Maybe? I’ve got about 3 weeks worth of content scheduled so I’m debating a one-shot/bonus. We’ll see. Until then, we’re almost halfway through with chapter 8! Enjoy!

Part 8: Comforts for a Bad Day

                The front door slams shut behind me. I’m in a foul mood and I’ll be damned if the whole neighborhood doesn’t know it at this point. Peeling off my wet clothes in favor of something drier, I grab my favorite pair of shorts only to find that the dryer had eaten a hole in them and they are now useless. So I have to settle for sweats.

                I start dinner, just trying to make something simple and quick. I make the mistake of stepping out of the room for just a few minutes, when I come back, I’m greeted with fire. Trying not to panic but cussing all the way, I jam a metal lid over the pan and turn the stove off. I keep an eye on the thing for well over an hour before I was even brave enough to open it again and, thankfully, it’s out. However, I have to find something new for dinner, but I’m so angry and fed up that I just flop on the sofa.

                With a click, I turn on the TV and put a random show on in the background. When I’m0 finally calm enough to attempt dinner again, everything goes black.

                “You’ve got to be kidding meeeEEEEEEEEE!” I shout. No electricity means no heating up food, no TV or laptop, and no light for just about anything else. I lay in the darkness, hungry and in a seething fury, face first into the sofa.

                My phone starts to meow, meaning it can only be one of two people. My hand slaps across the floor before I find the device and bring it to my ear.

                ‘Hello?’ comes across much more muffled through the fabric of my couch.

                “_____?”

                ‘Hi Jumin’ isn’t any clearer.

                “_____, are you okay?” I don’t give an answer. “_____?!”

                Rolling over, I heave the biggest sigh. “Hi Jumin.”

                “Don’t scare me like that,” he sighs. “Are you alright? You don’t sound too thrilled to talk to me.”

                I grumble, “It’s fine. What’s up?”

                “Seriously. What’s wrong?”

                “Just a bad day…How was your day? Did your presentation for the cat hotel go well?”

                “I ended up postponing it. Do you want to talk about your day?”

                “Not really.”

                “Come on, _____. Tell me about it.”

                Groaning, I sit up. “My stupid phone didn’t charge last night so my morning alarm never went off and I was late for work. My clients were furious, which is understandable. Later, I had a dog bite me and the owner said it was my own fault.”

                “That doesn’t sound right.”

                “I refused to work with his dog without a muzzle which he refused and left without paying for the work that I DID do and scattering all the stuff on the counter on the floor. Shortly after that, a sick cat came in and, after giving my diagnosis, I was told that I’m a money hungry idiot who has no idea what I’m doing. I don’t think that poor cat will make it another year. People in general have been so rude today.”

                “Those people haven’t a clue what they’re talking about. You’re the best vet that I’ve ever come across and plenty of your clients have given your clinic high ratings.”

                “I know, but those people still pissed me off. And I worked right through lunch to catch up on my late appointments, but at least Yoosung was nice enough to share his lunch with me.”

                “When did Yoosung start working with you?”

                “Not long after your birthday. He’s smart.”

                “I agree. As long as he’s not stuck in his video games.”

                “I left my wallet at home so I couldn’t buy anything when I finally got off work, which I didn’t find out until I was already in line to buy something. Then it started raining shortly after I started walking home so I was drenched, I’ll be surprised if I don’t get sick. I almost set my house on fire trying to make food.”

                “What?!”

                “I had a grease fire. And now the electricity is out and I have no food in the cupboards unless I’d like to eat raw pasta.”

                He hums on the other end. “You’re right. You have had a rough day.”

                “Yep. Sucks,” I grumble. “Hmm, I might have string cheese in the fridge.”

                “_____, I have to go. Something just came up.”

                “Oh, okay,” I mutter.

                “Everything will be alright. You’re strong. I know you are.”

                A small smile crosses my lips. “Thanks Jumin. Talk to you later.”

                “Goodbye.”

                I stare at the picture of the man in cat ears from his birthday party for a moment before a loud meow stabs at my silent pondering.

                “Yeah, okay. Dinner time Mako,” I announce, heading into the kitchen to find the cat food to feed my animal. Afterwards, I go rummaging through my cupboards in search of something decent to eat. I stare at the open cupboards from my kitchen table trying to come up with something.

                My doorbell goes off.

                “Oh geeze. What now?” I hiss, heading for the front door. Pulling the entrance open, I stare at the dark figure for a moment. “Jumin?”

                “Hurry now. Eat up before it gets cold,” he orders, shoving something warm into my hands and ushering me inside.

                “Huh?! What the heck is this? What are you doing here?”

                “From the sounds of it, you haven’t eaten much, so I had my chef make you something.” He holds up a bag. “And I brought light.”

                “You can keep those if they’re candles,” I grumble. “Knowing my luck, one would tip over and burn my house down. I don’t need a second fire today.”

                He looks into a bag. “Um, more like lanterns. But I need to put the batteries in.” He moves to the next bag. “And I don’t personally care for them, but I heard that girls like sweets, especially when they’re sad, and I wasn’t sure which you like best so I got several different ones.”

                “I know I didn’t eat a lot today, but are you trying to make me fat?” I laugh. The sweet gesture, even if coming from such an awkward man not entirely comfortable with his feelings, seems to melt all the troubles of the day away.

                “Of course not. I’m trying to make you feel better.” He pushes me towards the couch. “Now go eat.”

                I sit on the couch, watching the rich heir fumble with batteries in a lantern. It’s clear that this wasn’t anything he’s had to deal with before, but the simple fact that he’s here, trying to cheer me up makes me happy inside.

                Opening the take-out box, I find something much fancier than I expected.

                “Holy crap. This is probably worth more than everything I’ve eaten all week combined.”

                Jumin frowns at me. “Really? Perhaps I should have my driver deliver you lunch every day.”

                “N-No no! Don’t do that,” I scold. “I told you, I can take care of myself.”

                “I know,” he sighs. “But sometimes I wish you’d just let me do something for you.”

                “Why? Couldn’t you use the money to pamper Elizabeth instead?”

                “I could. She’s…She’s very important to me. She was a gift from my two best friends and I’ve often believed that she was the only who truly understood me.” The man looks into the darkness, as if he’s remembering something. “I always thought that emotions were useless to me, allowing me to be taken advantage of by people who just wanted to get close to me for my money.”

                “I mean, a lot of people probably did that,” I reply, poking the food around the plate. “You were just protecting yourself.”

                “That’s true, but I’ve come to realize that perhaps I took it a little too far. Still, it’s not like any of those efforts mattered once I met someone who didn’t care about my status in life; once I met you.” Those dark eyes sparkle as he turns to me.

                I frown. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

                With a roll of his eyes, he smiles. “I can’t help but be a little happier when I see you.”

                “Aww, just a little?” I tease. Deep down, I pray he doesn’t notice the effect his words have on my insides, turning me to mush.

                “Alright, my entire day can turn around when you’re part of it. I guess that’s why I felt I had to drop everything to come over tonight.”

                “Oh god. Please tell me you didn’t traumatize poor Jaehee just to come see me.”

                “She’s…currently dealing with the board of directors I left hanging,” he says with a smirk.

                “Wow! Jumin, that so irresponsible!” I shout, unable to hide my smile.

                “Couldn’t help it. Someone important needed me.”

                I feel suddenly warmer beneath Jumin’s gentle gaze. The temperature skyrockets when an arm wraps around my shoulders, pulling me in. A soft kiss grazes my temple.

                “I should really stop distracting you. You need to eat.”

                We make light conversation before I start digging through the bag of sweets. The man had brought them for me and I’m not going to let them go to waste.

                “Ooo, Starbursts!” I rip open the yellow packaging. “Hah, they say that if you put the whole thing in your mouth and unwrap it without tearing the wrapper, you’re a good kisser.”

                “Oh really? Are you?”

                I shrug. “I dunno. I don’t really believe in stuff like that, but it’s fun to do.” I pop a pink one into my mouth, working the wrapper off with my teeth and tongue before pulling it out. “See?”

                “Let me see.”

                Without warning, Jumin leans in, cupping my face in his hands. Butterflies flutter in my stomach as his lips press against mine. The last time we had kissed, Jumin hadn’t been himself and I had forgotten just how soft his lips were; I had forgotten how much I enjoy his kiss.

                The man pulls away with a soft smile. “I suppose I may not be the best judge, but I think it was a good kiss.”

                My blushing face lets a smile slip. “Wow. Thanks for the very in-depth observation.”

                “Anytime.”

                Jumin and I casually share the sweets and the conversation. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable here in my little apartment, completely different than the last time we kissed or from my day earlier. I could spend forever like this, alone with him.

                I gasp softly, reaching out to snatch my phone off the coffee table to turn off the alarm. Cracking my neck, I sit up and the couch beneath me moves.

                Moves?

                Looking down, I find that I’m sitting on Jumin and no tomato could compare to my face. His eyelashes flutter as he blinks the sleep away. Looking up at me, a light chuckle escapes him.

                “What’s that look for?”

                “Y-You fell asleep here?”

                The man pushes himself up, putting his face extremely close to mine. “Of course. You looked so peaceful that, as a pillow, I couldn’t disturb you.”

                In an attempt to hide my embarrassment and shock, I put a hand to my face. “Could you be anymore shameless?”

                Jumin presses a kiss to my forehead. “If that’s what you’d like.”

                Regaining my composure, I shove the man back down on the couch, leering over him. Meeting his expectant gaze, I just want to make out with him desperately. I want everything to just leave us alone and let me express how I feel about him.

                But do I deserve him?

                It’s the same question I had asked myself the last time we spent a night together. I wish I hadn’t thought of it because now I’m resisting every urge to just be happy with him right here, right now. I grip at his shirt desperately.

                “_____? What’s wrong?”

                Sighing, I get to my feet, removing myself from him. “You were wrong.”

                “What?”

                I look down at my phone, looking for an excuse. “Oh crap. I gotta get ready for work. Um, thank you, for last night. It wasn’t such a bad day after all.”

                He smiles, standing up. “No problem. I’m glad I was able to make you feel better.”Now he glances at his phone and sighs. “Assistant Kang is not going to be happy with me.”

                “You’re going to send that woman to an early grave,” I tease.

                “I guess I’d better head home to prepare for my meeting.”

                “Probably a good idea.”

                I bid Jumin goodbye and watch his car drive away. The false smile slides from my face the further away he gets.

                “You were wrong,” I repeat. “I do care about your status. You deserve more than me.”
