anon asks: yusuke kitagawa x male reader plz 🙏🏾

A/N: sorry for the squints almost year long wait anon (oops) i think these ending up skewing a bit too gender neutral for my taste, but these were written first and foremost with a male reader in mind !! personally, i dont think yusuke cares too much for gender when it comes to romance (when he cares about romance at all) so that might be why. still, i hope you like them anon !! (+ i decided to try a new format for these. the old format was fun, but a little too restrictive.)

Yusuke somehow manages to strike a balance between obvious and frustratingly vague. Sometimes he's upfront and forward about his feelings for you and other times he says things that make you question everything you thought you knew.

Yusuke remains loyal to his art; if you don't like art, consider yourself thoroughly rejected. He doesn't need you to fully understand it, but you have to at least be able to derive some meaning from it.

He really loves asking you to model for him. He refuses to ask you to nude model for him if you aren't in a relationship yet. Yusuke had no qualms about asking Ann because that was for the sake of art and art alone. You, on the other hand, are a different story. When he formally starts courting you, then, maybe, he'll ask.

Yusuke confesses the only way he knows how: art. He dedicates a painting to you, and, with somehow too much and absolutely no fanfare, asks you out. The painting is definitely a lot, but he asks it so casually while you inspect the it that you might mistake his words as commentary on the art piece.

Yusuke does have a favorite date spot—and it's not an art museum or gallery. While he does like taking you to art galleries, but he see the place as more casual than romantic, since the conversation always revolves around the art. His absolute favorite date spot is the boat rides at Inokashira Park: when there is nothing but the tranquility of the water and you.

If you're a Phantom Thief, Yusuke loves watching you fight. You constantly see him framing you with his hands. If you ever ask him what he's doing, he'll simply smile and say: "Ah, I was just thinking about what a beautiful painting this would make," completely casually.

Yusuke really only has two things on his mind at all times: art and you. He hopes to, one day, create a painting of you that can effect people just like how the Sayuri affected him; to capture your eyes, your face, your body—your beauty—just right so that the world might understand exactly how he views you.

Oh! You reblogged my reblog of your reblog and added 'wonderful addition' in your tags! Thank you so much! You're one of my very iwtv and dm blogs, so I'm very excited that you thought so. You always have such great meta (and made me feel unalone in the 'Daniel was dying of AIDS when Armand turned him; I don't care what Anne says' camp.. Overdose deaths... don't go that slowly and nobody who was overdosing could be that coherent. Even the most high-functioning addict couldn't have told such cohesive story re: the twins. Not even with their minds. If you have taken that much, you are either passed out or the words coming out your mouth are incoherent *or* your delusions are literally delusional and they tend to be really on a few things. Daniel would not have able to collect his like that. He just wouldn't have been. I didn't pick any of this up when I first read it because I was about 14 and didn't anything about anything. I have since grown-up and gained life experience I wish I did not have. I hope I don't sound like I'm being flippant about this. Or that I'm oversharing. Because I'm not trying to be. As I said, I take this from my own life experience as someone watching what this kind of drug use looks like and how it usually concludes. It's also just something that *really* stood out to me when I reread the Devil's Minion chapter very recently. I sat there and said holy shit, this is AIDS, right? I mean, it doesn't specify anything except Daniel destroying his body and I'm like, okay, well long-term drug use does destroy your body, but it's not all at once like this. This is a metaphor, especially with all the sexual encounters Daniel was having especially in that specific time period. Obviously, the first thing I did was hunt down posts on tumblr to confirm my suspicions only to find that, according to Anne, it was not meant to be a metaphor for AIDS. It was drugs? So, I sat there and went nope, not really how long-term drug use go, definitely not how overdoses on hard drugs go. Anne, I do not think you have been in the presence of a serious addict while they are scary high or even around one for any length of time if you think this is how it goes. I also thought that if it was supposed to be an overdose, then 500ish years-old or not, it should have still affected Armand. A longterm hard drug user like Daniel would have to have taken a lot of something very strong, particularly if we're talking about the drugs readily available to addicts in the 80s. This is one of those things in the books that I reject their canon and insert my own when I think about it. There are a bunch of outstanding arguments for why Daniel was dying of AIDS and then there's Anne's own words that she meant for it to drugs and I just feel like this is one of those occasions where death of the author must be applied. At least for it to make sense in *my* brain.

I am so sorry I just filled your inbox with a wall of text only very tangentially related to the original topic, which was to say 'thank you' and 'yay, one my favorite blogs said this was nice and now I feel less like all my commentary is unhinged nonsense! :D' But a wall text that no one asked for came out. I'm so sorry.

Hi!

First of all, don't worry about the wall of text, it's fine. It's nice getting message from people who just enjoy what I have to say and just want to say thank you! I will never have a problem with that. 🙂

I don't know if you've checked out my tag on the subject of AIDS on my blog, but I have some older posts there that discuss my thoughts when I first read Queen of the Damned and how Daniel was dying in that book. And, to be fair, Daniel wasn't really dying of drugs there, it was cirrhosis of the liver from drinking too much. Which I'm sure Anne chose it because she'd had a history of alcoholism and so could write from experience about it.

But yeah, it's still an addiction he was dying of. Which, by the time I read the book in 1995 was rather jarring that it actually wasn't AIDS, as I said in this post here. I can understand why it wasn't (given when Rice was originally writing that book), but it just can't help but be jarring now, when you read that book after the 1980s I feel.

Given that the showrunner and writers are playwrights, however, I think they well know they can't do Daniel's story in this day and age now without mentioning the AIDS crisis and tying his character into it in some way. It would just ring hollow not to, IMO. And I think they know that given that AIDS-related issues were some of the very first images we see in the first episode of the show, as well as the book we know in-universe he wrote about it.

Anyway, yes I really liked your post, and again, no apologies needed for the length or anything, really! The fact that you see me as a favorite blog to read is so nice to hear! 🤗

Spicy Times with Sage Lesath (HCs)

Today's content, along with my return to the Last Legacy fandom (sorry I've been away so long, my friends) is dedicated to my darling "child," one of the people I am proud to call my friend. Happy birthday, honey, I hope you enjoy your catboy <3

Character: Sage Lesath

Fandom: Last Legacy

Warnings: Sexy times are discussed, not too much detail. Also serious fluff towards the end~

I feel like funtimes with the catboy has two settings: all or nothing. It depends entirely on what mood you're both in.

Most of the time it's 'all.' Sage is 110% all in. This man's sex drive is through the freaking roof. He wants you in every way, every position, on every surface, you name it. The innuendos and suggestive commentary reach an all-time high. He's ready and willing to slip off at a moment's notice for some quick fun, though he prefers to take his time. He's more than down for getting down and dirty, the rougher the better.

His ideal scenario would be alone at home (well, wherever 'home' happens to be at the moment, anyway) with nowhere to be and sufficient soundproofing or no one around to hear. He wants to be able to take his sweet time and not need to worry about being quiet. If you ever find yourself in this situation, expect one hell of a wild ride. He has impressive stamina and a quick recovery time, so you'll very likely be at it for hours, if not all night long. Let's just say that you'll both be very tired but very satisfied by the end of this.

Let's talk toys for a minute. I don't think Sage is too into them, he usually prefers to do things the old fashioned way with just your body on his, but he's more than happy to include them from time to time to spice things up a bit. I think his favorite would be ropes, just to see his partner tied up under him... also lingerie. He's definitely a biiiig lingerie fan, even if it's as simple as you wearing his shirt. I feel like he also likes the thrill of things, so fooling around in semi-public places would definitely excite him, as would spontaneously trying new things together. You may want to try bringing some food items into the bedroom, too. Just saying, this man would happily lick whipped cream from every inch of your body if you let him.

Sage absolutely loves getting off but he secretly craves your happiness and approval more than anything else, and would do just about anything you want to bring you pleasure. Beware of body worshipping, because once he gets really caught up in the moment, endless praises will start slipping off his tongue. Speaking of his tongue, have I mentioned that he's very good at this? He has enough experience to know exactly what he's doing, and he's surprisingly perceptive in bed, so he's quick to adapt to his partner's specific needs and responses.

His other setting, though, is exclusive to you. This man has had a ton of sex over the years, but he's never once come close to making love. But once he finds a partner, once he falls for someone? That changes. Suddenly things are far more passionate, more intimate, fueled by love instead of just lust.

I'm talking the kind of affectionate, cuddly, loving sex where you're tangled up so tightly that you don't know where he begins and you end and yet it's still not close enough. Soft touches and languid movements, savouring every single second you spend lost in one another. The sort of sex that is a love letter and a prayer rolled into one, worshipping one another while simultaneously thanking the powers that be for allowing this to happen. Words of devotion and praise and affection whispered against skin, pressed into kisses, devoured in a kiss that travels straight to the soul.

This doesn't happen terribly often. Don't get me wrong, if it's what you want or prefer, Sage is more than happy to accommodate that. But for it to truly become that intense, he needs to be in the right headspace. Sometimes it happens randomly, but most often this is the result of being separated for a while or having a dangerous experience. Anything that makes him want to hold you tight and never let go. Another reliable trigger for this is if Sage himself is having a bad time emotionally, if something significant has happened to shake him up or bring his mood down. He basically becomes a lonely kitten, and this is one of the ways of making him feel better.

Sage is also surprisingly good at aftercare. Sure, he's not exactly known for that, as half the time there isn't really time nor the need after his flings - but with a partner, that, too, changes. It doesn't matter if it's the roughest sex you've ever had or the softest, he's going to spoil you as much as possible afterwards. He'll help you clean up and bring you snacks and water, make sure you have everything you could possibly need... and then it's cuddle time. He gets so clingy after sex. He wants to be wrapped around you one way or another, probably purring up a storm, especially if you scratch his ears. Post-sex naps are very common for him, and now for you too, because good luck getting away from him in that state. He's a lovesick kitten.

The taylor zakhar perez hashtag just full of praise for Nicholas acting and twitter full of anonymous messages asking for his recast because he's not as good as Nick. That shit hurts and I can't even enjoy the new content I'm tired of the hate that man has been getting for a year and a half (it's not about Nicholas I love him so much)

First and foremost this is awful and Taylor doesn't deserve any of this unfair critism that are frankly insults, it's fucking sick

I will say this about the acting (and I'm typing this while listening to the podcast where Matthew talks about how well suited the boys are for the roles)

Both of them nailed their roles. But because of how the roles are written, certain things show easily than others.

Henry is more emotional sensitive and "broken", and because that's kind of an unhealthy mentality which isn't the normal state of human being, it's easier to pick up, which is why even with a surface glance audience can pick up on Nick's intensity and level of performing. For example, Henry spiraling on the lake. It's a crescendo of negative emotions, and you can see it go from opposite of the previous emotion (happy and content) to increasing panic and heartache.

Alex is the healthier one, in the movie he doesn't have much baggage as Henry does, but he does have baggage. At first Alex might seem like a sunshine puppy or something but if you paid attention to the details which Taylor does, you can read so much more. His fingers fidgeting whenever he's nervous like when Henry's taking off his clothes or Zahra barging in looking out. Like him clenching his jaw and watching every second of Henry's face when he goes in. Like how you can feel the aggressiveness in him die down as Henry shouts his thoughts during the Kensington confrontation. Like how fucking in love he looks all conveyed in his eyes.

So TL DR and this is my understanding of the performance: the tricky part for Nick is not to go overboard so that it's too dramatic to the point of being unrealistic, while the tricky part for Taylor is too not under perform it that Alex becomes one dimensional. AND BOTH BOYS NAIL IT PERFECTLY.

But for people who watch it passively, or watch it with negative assessment already in mind, it's easier to miss Taylor's details than Nick's details.

I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH THE SHIT TAYLOR'S GETTING I DON'T AGREE WITH ANY OF THIS AND TAYLOR JUST IS ALEX TO ME

But this is a speculation from the acting perspective as to part of the reason why Taylor's getting so much shit

Also Twitter people are just another fucking type of crowd who mostly should use their life to do something better (I'm not on Twitter and never will be) and I'm convinced that there's still racism involved in these commentary even if it's internalized or latent

Anyone who says Taylor should be recast or is not as good as Nick either didn't actually pay attention to the movie or don't understand Alex. Taylor read the book 8 times. Matthew and Nick, the two most important people in regards to his performance, have nothing but praise for him.

Taylor is Alex, just as Nick is Henry.

Hopefully after a while these stupid "opinions" die down and only intelligent/genuine/constructive comments will be left and things will get better. And I truly hope Taylor can see more support than insults. He doesn't deserve any of this.

I'm sorry that this has affect you, and I understand it. Honestly this is why I don't directly look at tags, especially the actors' tag, block whoever I don't wanna see or deal with, and don't go on Twitter.

Just from my experience on dealing with shit like this, I would say give yourself some distance from RWRB and social media for a bit, even if it's a day or two, and come back when it hurts less. Take a bit of a break. And avoid places you know you will see shit like this as much as you can.

Both of the boys did amazing, and imo perfectly in the movie and in these roles, and they deserve all the love and support. Both of them.

🐍No worries! I'm likely going to be slower at responding too since school's getting busier again, but I always enjoy reading your answers!

Oh man I didn't even remember that part about Athena kids (it's been really long since I last read the series) but yeah that'd make things even more complicated... especially if like, Jamil has to learn to fend off these monsters on his own since a young age and be able to take care of Kalim, I'd think he'd have to quickly learn to be just far away enough from Kalim so that if any monsters attack, he'd be the only one harmed instead of Kalim, which is just awful. I love your suggestions for their godly parents though, they all fit so well but nemesis kid jamil is like extra angst: he's a child of revenge, he probably wants revenge for his life being the way it is, yet he's bound by his position and can literally do nothing about it unless he snaps from the pressure.

I went through your valdangelo tag and there's so much good stuff there! The heavy focus on romantic relationships in HoO felt like Rick just really wanted to pair everyone off before everyone had a chance to develop as an individual or explore other types of relationships with the rest of the cast. I found myself disappointed in several characters and longing for what could've been, even though the pjo series is dear to me. But the beauty of fandom is people can fill in those gaps or rewrite things and the valdangelo stuff definitely counts.

I think Leo wouldn't be putting tons of outward accessories on his uniform but he might add several secret pockets to stores things in, since in this AU I assume he doesn't have the toolbelt. If it's hotter outside he might just wear the vest unbottoned and no blazer, just bc I don't think they allow students to wear zero dorm colours haha. I do think he's likely the type to roll up his sleeves a lot though! And he likely enjoys the PE uniform far more than the usual one. Speaking of which I think Leo'd enjoy the lab classes more since they involve getting hands on and making stuff! And Nico might enjoy the ceremonial robes while Leo'd find them too bulky and stuffy and be on his way out to change the moment any ceremony is over.

I feel like I'm running out of interesting questions to ask about the AU (curse my lack of writing creativity) but I'm starting to work on some doodles and hope to show you eventually! In the meantime if you have any more headcanons for either of Leo or Nico or literally any other PJO characters in TWST please feel free to share them/make posts! I don't get lots of posts on my dash these days so it's easy to find yours, I'd love to hear more of your ideas. (Did I mention I was living vicariously through your PJO reread since I want to do it too but just can't make the time? Your commentary is great ❤)

sorry this reply took even longer LOL, if you've seen me keep posting but not replying i hope it didn't seem like i was ignoring you. just gotta find the time/energy to answer asks and messages sometimes.

yeah, annabeth talks about it when she's telling percy how much she hates her dad and her stepmom in TLT and it lowkey made me feel sympathy for frederick chase on my reread, just because i really don't know what i would do in the situation that athena put him in lol. of course, he still should've done better to make sure annabeth felt loved and secure even if he hadn't wanted a baby. but i also got to thinking about how that would affect riddle and i feel like it'd be so rough because it's like, at first his mother might think it's good that her child is blessed by the goddess of wisdom because he'll be a natural genius and easily be able to become a doctor just like she wants. but then monsters would start to attack and she'd see it as him bringing danger to their family and anyone else around them. just imagine what it would be like if when he sneaks out with trey and chenya, they get attacked and she finds out about it... also agree with what you said about athena kid jamil. nemesis kid jamil would also be crazy though, because just look at the list of powers we know nemesis herself has:

and while we've only ever seen two nemesis kids in canon, one of whom we know basically nothing about, we do know that ethan nakamura may have tychokinesis because as also explained by the riordan wiki: "this might explain his lucky hit to percy's weak point, which nobody but percy knew at the time."

so like, imagine if jamil inherited that ability too and he knew that in theory he could give himself just a little bit of good luck or give kalim a little bit of bad luck, just to get a tiny bit of revenge, but he doesn't know what exactly might happen and his position makes it too risky to try anything.

honestly, i think i would've been happy if every single romantic relationship in HoO (aside from percabeth of course because it was pre-established. and i guess maybe jasiper too just because it has relevance to piper's arc) had just been developed as a friendship, with hints of it becoming romantic toward the end. like how blood of olympus hints that nico and will like each other, but they really aren't clearly established as actually dating until trials of apollo. and speaking of trials of apollo, i know all of rick's post-PJO series are kind of contentious in the fandom, but i love TOA and this is a big part of why: while there is some solangelo and caleo stuff and of course apollo's past romances are discussed, the platonic/familial dynamic between apollo and meg is by far the most important relationship in that series. and i wish the friendships between the seven were written as well as i feel like theirs is. they all just don't feel nearly as close as they should for the most part.

this discussion about how nico and leo would wear the school uniform reminded me that i once came across a chart of how all the canon students wear it. i went back and found it just now: link. and from the looks of it, yeah, everyone, even kalim and jamil despite how much extra stuff they've added, wears either the blazer/coat or the vest so that their dorm colors are visible somewhere... except for idia lol. even ortho basically wears it post-book 6 but idia is the only student who literally wears just absolutely none of the uniform except for the pants. i agree with everything you said about leo! also, i love the cermonial robes, they are peak aesthetic. i had ceremonial robes idia on the home screen for weeks when i first started the game.

if you wanna ask me about anything else related to pjo or twst or other things i post about feel free to! i'm glad you don't have trouble finding my posts because i usually post so much that i worry about anons i reply to getting buried haha. also, glad you're enjoying my silly little commentary on my reread LOL. i've been going a bit slower than i'd like because i've had some stuff going on irl + started reading another book at the same time as well. but i'd been wanting to reread the series for a while and finally got started because i felt disappointed at all the stuff the tv show left out or changed. somehow the lightning thief musical still prevails as the most accurate adaptation.

hmm, as for other thoughts about the crossover... i just remembered that in one of my earlier replies i said i wanted to sort luke castellan and alex fierro into dorms but couldn't decide where to put them! so, here's some thoughts on that now:

luke - based on the dorm analysis i linked before, i keep getting the vibe that savanaclaw makes the most sense for him. he certainly has the tenacity, ambition, and athleticism to fit in there, and with how admired and respected he was at camp half-blood prior to his betrayal, i could see him becoming dorm leader. i also feel like to mirror PJO canon he would eventually overblot... and probably die from it in an incident that the school would absolutely try to cover up.

alex - she's genderfluid and is a girl most of the time but again we'll let her into NRC for AU purposes. alex is very clever, cunning and sharp-witted and is even associated with snakes. so i initially wanted to place her in scarabia before remembering that she's also pretty reckless and hotheaded lol. not exactly the embodiment of scarabia's emphasis on careful planning and deliberation. he even canonically hates big parties. i actually think he'd also fit well into savanaclaw! i can see him getting along well with ruggie.

and another random thought i had about nico: i bet he loves what a big deal halloween is at NRC. whether he stays in ignihyde or goes to ramshackle, he's going to be so ready to go all out with decorating the dorm and picking out costumes. and i can imagine him hanging out with the ghosts, trying to give them the best halloween they could have.

"Right. About your daughter. I couldn't help but notice just how tired she was today, so much that she had fallen asleep during class. This has raised some concerns I have. Am I expected to see this happen again?" Eyebrows furrowed with worry. If anything, he seemed to be worried over her health rather than be suspicious about her. That had put the mad scientist at ease. "Of course not. I apologize for that. Sometimes Becky would have a terrible case of insomnia. It runs in the family. I promise you that it won't be a regular occurrence. My pinky is quite well behaved. The most well behaved if I'm going to be honest. This is nothing for you to worry about. I'll take care of this and make sure she gets the rest she deserves." Becky had been listening in on their conversation, her shoulders sagged in relief that Dr. Jekyll seemed to be buying what her father had been telling him. "Thank you for letting me know about this issue she has. I sure hope this doesn't affect her too badly. I just want to make sure my students are doing fine. Your daughter is an absolute delight. Very bright as well." Dr.Two-Brains couldn't help but grin at hearing someone praise his daughter like that. It also touched him that this teacher seemed to be genuinely caring. Even though the observant nature did make him slightly nervous for what could possibly happen in the future. "Thank you for caring about her so much. I'm glad to know that her new teacher is kind and caring. I'm happy to have someone like you to teach my precious pinky." Henry felt his face warm at that. He felt a certain annoying presence mocking him silently. "Is there anything else you would like to discuss while I am still here?" Shaking off the compliment given just a moment before, Henry smiled warmly at Dr.Two-Brains. "I was wondering if everything was alright at home but you had cleared that up quick. Please make sure she gets enough rest. It is vital she gets enough sleep." The teacher's eyes couldn't help but drift towards the mouse brain fused to the mad scientist's head. Quickly averting his eyes when the villain had given him a strange look. "You can't help but notice the mouse brain, can you? Do you like it?" He smiled widely, gently patting at the exposed organ much to Henry's dismay. Though his expression certainly didn't give his thoughts away. "He touches it? Huh. Whiskers there are strange. No wonder the kids are tired. Having a parent like him certainly wouldn't be boring." Henry internally rolled his eyes at the unnecessary commentary. "I do apologize. It was quite hard to ignore." Dr.Two-Brains looked very smug, obviously quite proud of the second brain of his. "Hey, I'd stare too if I were you. It's not always a bad thing to get attention." The villain had given Henry a wink. Poor Becky was still listening in on their conversation. She groaned in embarrassment. While she was happy that Dr. Jekyll wasn't suspicious of her, it was still so embarrassing when her dad had done that. "Ahem. Well. That was all I wished to speak about. Once again, thank you for showing up on such short notice." He just wanted to breeze past making a fool of himself. Hoping that he didn't make too much of a bad first impression on this parent. “Thank you for calling me and letting me know what happened.” If the mad scientist was going to be honest, he was enjoying watching the slight reaction that Henry was showing. Dr. Two-Brains had found that quite adorable if anything. Sparking an interest in the other. “Say, if you would like an update on how Becky is doing. I wouldn't mind meeting up with you.” The teacher's eyes had widened. Completely taken off guard. “I'm sorry, what?” Cackling was heard within Henry's mind. “Is Whiskers really hitting on you?” Clearing his throat, face becoming more red than before. “You seemed so concerned, I thought you would like to know if Becky was getting better with getting her resting. I understand if you wish not to.”

@thecountoflondonfansite

(You can tag me on my tgs side blog. I also apologize but I know a few Scottish words. So to anyone reading this I apologize for the inaccuracy.) Becky Boxleitner noticed a change in the atmosphere as she and her pet monkey Bob walked into the sixth grade classroom. All of the students were excitedly chatting with one another. Becky and Bob exchanged confused looks at the scene. 'What is going on?' They both thought. Becky walked to where her friends Violet Heaslip, Rose Franklin, and Todd Scoops Ming were sitting, also joining in the excited yet low volume chattering. "Hey guys what's going on?" Becky asked her friends. They each turned their heads to greet their friend. "Hey Becky guess what, we're getting a new teacher for our class!" Scoops exclaimed. Becky looked surprised at the announcement. Bob also mimicked her facial expression. "Wait really? What happened to Miss Davis?" Becky asked, wondering what happened to their old teacher. It was just a week only into the new school year so a sudden teacher exchange was a complete shock to Becky especially since there were no announcements about it beforehand. "Miss Davis had to move back home because of a family emergency." Rose Franklin answered. "The principal had to scramble to find a new teacher to fill in for our class. It was all last minute stuff." Becky nodded in understanding of her friends' answers. It was a nice perk to be friends who were upcoming reporters. Soon the final bell rang which indicated for every student to take their seats. Becky took her place beside her best friend Violet and Bob plopped down next to her. Soon a man who looked to be in his mid 30s walked in and towards the desk. He had curly brown air, an arched nose, and reddish brown eyes. He wore a tan button-down shirt with a red vest as well as brown slacks and dark suede shoes. The man gave a pleasant and warm smile to all the students there. "Hello my name is Dr. Henry Jekyll and I will be your teacher for the school year." Becky and the other kids ears perked up as they took note of the man's accent. Even Tobey became slightly interested in his new teacher. None of them were sure where their new teacher was from. Dr. Jekyll gave a light chuckle as if he could sense their growing curiosity about him. He lightly clapped his hands together to gain their undivided attention and focus. "Well since this is my first time teaching here, why don't we all play a little game so we can all get better acquainted with each other. Here's what to do. One at a time, say your name and share a wee bit about yourself. Likes, family, interests and all that. I'll go first to show ya what ah mean. Again. My name is Dr. Henry Jekyll. I was born in Glasgow but ah moved to London where I attended university. I have a five year old wee lassie or daughter named Amber. I enjoy chemistry and reading on occasions. Now who would like to go next?" @unhingedexperimenter

Of course Tobey had taken the opportunity to place attention on himself and to have a reason to boast about himself. “My name is Tobey McCallister the third and I will be the most intelligent student you'll meet here.” The others had rolled their eyes, used to this kind of behavior from their peers. Becky seemed to be the most annoyed by it. Having been forced to put up with his destructive tantrums in the past. Henry smiled just as warmly as before. Unbothered by the obnoxious behavior that the boy had been displaying. Tobey had been going on about himself for a good few minutes before the teacher finally spoke up. “Ahem, yes. Thank you for that Mr. McCallister. Would anyone else like to tell me a bit about themselves as well?” No one could tell that behind the facade, Dr. Henry Jekyll was becoming more irritated by the moment. Not by the child but by the pest that refused to leave him be. Scoffing within his head at what they just heard. He didn't share the disembodied voice's opinion but wanted to give the other children a chance to introduce themselves as well. To the others' shock, Tobey seemed to have taken this well. Quickly going back to his desk with no issues. Becky was relieved at that. Soon the other children had started to introduce themselves to their new teacher with little to no issues. He seemed genuinely nice enough to her. This new teacher didn't seem like most of the adults within this city. Some she had to define words repeatedly for. Dr. Jekyll knew what he was teaching and knew his vocabulary. It was Violet who had brought Becky out from her own thoughts, calling her name. Waving a hand in front of her face. “Becky?” The girl smiled in an embarrassed manner. “Huh? Yes?” Violet smiled, patient with her best friend. “Why don't you introduce yourself now? Nearly everybody else already did.” She had given a surprised expression. Becky hadn't realized that she was so lost within her thoughts until then. She stood up and began speaking. “My name is Becky Boxleitner and I also like libraries,reading and Pretty Princess.” The presence that was grating at the teacher's nerves had deemed this too dull to enjoy. Leaving Dr. Jekyll be to his teaching. Well, getting to know his students. He was happy to see that they were engaged in these activities that were meant to break the ice. Though one student in particular had caught his attention the most. Becky. While she did seem rather bright, there was something strange about her behavior at times. Pausing whatever she was doing at the time to listen in on something. Thinking it went unnoticed. Even once looking alarmed and she made an excuse to go to the bathroom. He had allowed it. Feeling that it would've been better to have let her. It seemed…oddly familiar. As if he had seen that behavior somewhere before but couldn't figure out exactly where from. When the school day was finally over, Becky had gone to go home like the others. Dr. Jekyll had of course stayed behind to set more things up within his new classroom. Making a plan on exactly what he'll actually start teaching the next day. Though, the grating voice had returned to be a thorn in his side. “Come on. Leave this boring stuff alone. Leave it until tomorrow. I've been pent up for far too long. Let's have some fun.” This had earned an eye roll and a loud huff from the teacher. “No, I've got to get this done now. You will have enough time tonight. Just be patient until then.” A shadowy figure formed in front of Dr. Jekyll. A frown on its face. “But this is so extremely dull. I want to stretch my legs. I want to make myself known already.” Dr. Jekyll glared. “And that is precisely why I'm so hesitant to let you out so soon. At least let us get acclimated to our surroundings first.” The figure let out an annoyed groan. “You know you want this as much as I do. Otherwise you'd never have any actual fun in the sad and pathetic life you call yours.”

Sukuna, the Grumpy Cat

In celebration of 100+ followers🥳

Warnings: | Swear words | Sukuna and Author breaking down that fourth wall | Some commentary from the author (shameless self-insert commentary I know) and Sukuna's own comments because why not? |

When he woke up, he thought it was a fucking joke. Again?! Last time was a child version of but this time a cat? He was going to kill the person who instigated all this.

A/N: Sukuna please, don't 😅. I'm sorry if I use you for entertainment purposes.

Sukuna: At least make it good.

A/N: Meanie.

While as a child he could speak, every time he opens his mouth, he...meows. Worse of all. Since he retained his original conscience, he is now a grumpy Sukuna with claws that will hurt. Trust him. It will hurt once he hunts down the person who did this and thought it would be funny.

A/N: I'm going to hide from a...cat🤭

Sukuna: Winter!!!

A/N: *Yelp*

Upon further inspection, he decided that maybe it wasn't that bad. He could rest the whole day and no one could bother him since he is in the form of a cat. You can't expect him to kill curses like this can you? He could hide from the humiliation of being turned into a cat while waiting for the effects of the curse to dissipate.

It's not like the others really bothered with waking him up. They learnt their lesson when the group tried to prank him once in his sleep and were nearly sliced.

The man loves his sleep. Let him sleep. That's simple like that.

Wrong. He was so wrong.

He forgot that his s/o would look for him if he didn't show up for breakfast.

You came barging in his room with a platter of delicious food.

Sukuna was sleeping under his blanket, intending to sleep the curse away when the smell of the delicious breakfast that he missed woke him up.

Groggy from sleep he forgets that he is in cat form.

You let out a squeal and that's when he realises that he messed up.

Squeezed to death was not on his bucket list.

He tries to get out of your hold but to no avail. So he had to wait until you finish gushing all over him, telling him he is adorable and just rubbing behind his ears without asking for his permission.

'Damn human, taking liberties like that.'

Despite that he is purring. Very loudly too.

"Oh hey, Mister cute adorable cat. You wouldn't have happened to see a grumpy old man sleeping his day away would you? Where did you even come from? Did you come through the window? Sneaky little thing."

He continued purring because the scratches were way too good. 'Life as a cat is good...'

You decide to set down the tray of food, looking for signs of your boyfriend.

"Hmmm...his wallet is here...his phone is here...his uniform is here? Where could he go without his wallet? Is he hiding from training again? But that is unusual...he is normally waiting in his room for food if that was the case..."

All the while, Sukuna is devouring his well-deserved breakfast because he is starving.

As soon as he finished, he tries grabbing your attention by jumping over your shoulder as you investigate his room for his 'disappearance'.

"Ouf. Mister Cat, you are a bit heavy you know?"

The cat looks so offended that he reminds you of your grumpy boyfriend.

Then he starts meowing at you, as if to ask you to take back that statement.

"There, there. Calm down. I'm sorry. I was just joking. Will you help me find Sukuna? He is a tall guy who is either always frowning or smiling sadistically. He has pink hair and a lot of tattoos. The bad boy archetype."

The cat starts meowing even louder as if trying to argue with you.

"What? You don't believe me? It's true. He is the bad boy archetype that all high-school girls fall for. Don't tell him, but his attitude is actually more similar to that of an old man who hasn’t had enough sleep and is grumpy the next day."

The cat puts his paw on your mouth as if to ask you to stop talking. It was more of a demand really.

Then he turns away, as if you offended him, nose in the air, tail swishing around lazily. But Sukuna was annoyed. As soon as he reverts back to normal, he will take his revenge. And then we'll see who the old man is.

As the day drags on, however, with your new found companion sitting on your shoulder like pikachu, you start to worry.

"Where are you, Sukuna?"

Was he in danger? What if he got kidnapped? What if Sukuna is dying somewhere (Sukuna: Human, stop being dramatic will you?)? Or maybe he was mad? Or he ran away?

All the possibilities were starting to gnaw at you. It didn't help that neither your teacher nor your classmates knew where he ran off to. "He is the closest to you. Are you sure he didn't hint at something, (Y/N)?"

After the day turned into night, you fed the cat.

Surprisingly, he didn't run off while you were scouting the whole school's area and some places in the city looking for Sukuna.

After feeding him, you went off to Sukuna's room, hoping that he would be back.

However, only silence and emptiness greeted you.

You went and sat on his bed, the cat sitting on your lap facing you as if knowing that you were sad.

He tried pawing at you, rubbing himself all over you to try and cheer you up.

"Misted cat...I don't know what to do if he left. Even if he is an annoying grumpy guy, I still love him. He doesn't have many redeemable qualities but he is kind in his own peculiar way when he wants to. I know that he cares. More time than I can count, he saved me from danger. Even if he doesn't say that he loves me a lot, he lets me know by leaving some necessary things that he knows I need. One time he prepared me some homemade food from my town because I was feeling homesick. And when I have nightmares, he always somewhat knows and he sneaks into my bed despite it being forbidden and getting in trouble the next day. He always had my back. What if he is in danger somewhere? What if he needs help but I don't know? What if he...died?"

The last word was said so quietly that the Sukuna the Cat nearly missed it.

As droplets of tears started pouring over his head, he looked up, and tried to kiss your nose in affection, trying to reassure you that he was fine.

However, when leaning in, you unexpectedly fell down because of the sudden weight.

Sukuna was certain that he didn't weigh much in his cat form.

However, when he opens his eyes, he sees you crying beneath him. So he tries to wipe away the tears with his index finger...wait his finger? He is in his human form again!

You opened your eyes upon feeling a weight on you. The cat can't be that heavy.

However, as soon as your eyes lay on the very much naked man on top of you, you engulfed him in a tight hug.

"Sukuna you...you...stupid dumbass! How dare you make me worry so much! I was sick with worry, you know?! What if you died?!"

"Ouch. Where were your kind words from before? Was that all for the cat?"

Speaking of cats...

"Don't tell me you were the cat?!"

"Yep."

"How did you even turn into a freaking cat?!"

"In my sleep? Got no idea. But I'm back. It's so good to be in human form again."

He stretches his long limbs, uncaring of the fact that his butt was in the air.

A/N: As if you cared 🙄.

Sukuna: Clothes restrict my movements. It's a strategy.

A/N: Excuses are all I hear.

"Sukuna put some clothes on!"

"Uh? Why would I do that? It's my room, my rules. Meaning you are in my territory."

"Annoying bastard."

Still you hug him tightly from behind, afraid to let go.

"Feeling a little cuddly, I see."

"Shut up. You're ruining the mood."

"Technically that's the author's fault. But I'm not going anywhere else if that can reassure your pretty little head."

ahhhh Saturn~~ o/ ♥

I have been meaning to send this for so long, but every time I feel horrible about just word vomitting in your ask box, but like. If I don't tell you you will never know, and it's a crime if I don't at least let you have an inkling of just how much I fucking love your stuff. I have been trying to leave comments in the tags when I reblog but I'm terrible at really going at it there. At the end of the day, I'm more of a 'send an ask and bury 'em in nonsense' kinda gal.

Apologies if this is more disjointed than usual, as they have been written at different times and saved for whenever I had the energy and emotional intelligence required to cobble them together into something intelligible (I have given up on that and am settling for having the energy to make them readable enough, enjoy lol).

Study Date - So, after Born to Bail, I knew I wanted more of your Sero. So I saved this one to read when I was in the headspace for some good threesome fun and man, did it deliver. I loved how you set the scene. The easy conversation and banter between the three really conveyed the type of relationship they have, how close they truly are. It all felt so natural and so right, made it easy to imagine being there, talking to them. I laughed at them taking digs at Bakugo and Kirishima, and just as casually moving from there to "let's bang". How easily Sero takes control of the situation and initiates everything is HOT AS FUCK. And Kaminari being all shy and submissive was SO FUCKING GOOD. Kaminari coming too soon? Inside of reader? From being fucked in the ass by Sero? You pulled all the fucking stops, Saturn. And I loved it.

Blue Lines - So, I'm not one for pregnancy fics. So I was gonna skip this one. But it was yours and I saw the first line and was like, "that sounds like Bakugo alright." And like. I'm so glad I did? I loved it. It was so… I don't know how to put it. As someone who doesn't want children, and who has her own history with the whole thing… The way you went about this felt so real, so relatable. I can hear not just Bakugo in your fic, but also a version of myself, and that's a very special feeling. So thank you for this one. Also, love the idea of older Bakugo doing an impression of his mom to mock her lmao.

Hand Prints - I don't know if by the time I send this you will still have this one up or not. But I just want you to know, I read it at the time and I felt it. It made me think and cry, but not in a necessarily bad way, I think. I just wanted you to know that. I didn't reblog it at the time because it felt invasive to do so -- like it was a private thing I was lucky enough to get to read, but I had no right to spread around. I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not, but I wanted you to know.

Bouquet - jsdfkljsklfdjflksdjsfdkljsdklfjfsdkljsdklajflkjfkljsdklfjnlsdff. SATURN WHAT. THIS. I FUCKING LOVED THIS. Like. The way Bakugo talks to us. So familiar and loving right off the bat. IDK what it is about how you writing, but I can feel his affection-- And now I want to reread it. So I am gonna save the commentary until I am done because I feel like I want to say so much about this and this message is already long enough. (will group it with Union, for the same reasons, which, btw, I ALSO FUCKING LOVED ♥)

Ahhhhhhhh. I'm sorry this is so long. /)_(\ Once again, Saturn, thank you so much for writing such wonderful stories and sharing them with us. ♥

Hope you have a lovely day and rest of the week~

Tiph, I have been staring at this since I noticed it this morning bc honestly, this has made my entire month. I really can’t thank you enough 💕

I adore that you like my Sero. Honestly, he’s one of my favourite people to write and I love that he’s kind of taken on his own persona through everything I write for him now!

I’m not one for pregnancy fics either! I’m very ‘breed no baby’, but I also have some very complicated feelings that I feel Bakugo would share? Which is how Blue Lines came about. I’m glad it resonated with you though! That fic seemed to resonate with a lot of people and it was really nice to see that there are lot of us who relate to this kind of liminal grey-space when it comes to that kind of stuff… Also: Bakugo’s Mitsuki impression is flawless. Mitsuki hates it. He does it at family functions when she’s pissing him off, bc it makes him less likely to shout. Kirishima can do the impression too (but it’s cute when he does it according to Mitsuki - much to Bakugo’s annoyance).

Hand Prints. Yeah - that was a very raw piece. Honestly, just knowing you read it and felt it means more than anything 💕 Makes me feel less alone. If that makes a lick of sense? Either way, thank you.

Ah! Bouquet - I had so much fun writing the dynamic for that. I also think it’s the most British I’ve ever written Bakugo, but I don’t think it comes off too strong 🤣 I usually throw the poor guy into so much angst, it was nice to just write a really big fluff piece for him, the man deserves it!

This really did make my day. Honestly, I can not thank you enough. Not only for sharing in my writing, but for leaving messages like this. You’re an absolute gem - words don’t do justice to how much this means to me 🥰

I hope you have the best day ever! And that Bakugo gives you all of the smooches bc you deserve them! 💕

i have a question about the bts of your youtube channel if you wouldn't mind answering - if you do no problem. i noticed the creeps of asoiaf vid is your highest one (congrats, that was a really interesting video), but was wondering if youtube age restricted it considering the content. have any of your vids been restricted? are you making these videos for fun or were you trying to build a commentary channel and make money from that? sorry i'm just interested in the youtube aspect of it all

Not a problem at all! LOL I always want to know this shit too but it's like borderline impossible to find the information which is weird. And the CSA video is lowkey hilarious and has me shook, because no it is not age restricted but it was a video idea had had literally since before I even decided to start making videos and I thought it was a really interesting topic but figured YT would completely throttle it so I would just make it when I was in the mood and had no other ideas. But it turns out that my literal years of experience in other internet content creation are totally useless because for whatever reason that video became the most algorithm-favored video I've had so far. And while the advertisement rate for it is a smidge lower than some others, it doesn't seem like the actual content has affected its restriction or ad-friendliness hardly at all.

And no, there were no restrictions on it, but a little while after I posted that video I started getting surveys about the content of my videos themselves for monetization purposes. It could be a coincidence because it wasn't something that happened immediately afterward, but essentially when I upload a video it gives you a series of options to check asking if you use any swears, any inappropriate language or subjects, if the video contains any violence, etc. And I got the impression that it's a thing that most YouTubers get at some point so again it could be a coincidence, but it is interesting that I got it after that particular video if it is just a coincidence.

And I went into it sort of hoping that I could become a legit commentary channel but I wasn't counting on it and I kinda looked at it as an extension of my tumblr experience. Like, I got on tumblr just for fun and because it was the only place on the internet that I could find where I could discuss Klaus Mikaelson, and it spiraled into something that was completely life changing. I mean I met a lot of my best friends, I got a lot better at writing, and it literally got me the career I have now. So I sort of thought, okay, if I did YouTube stuff, even if I don't become a pro YouTuber it could lead to a lot of great and worthwhile things, so why not go into it with the intent of just seeing what happens because ultimately something good could come from it even if it's not what I expected. And it seems to be going well as of now and pretty much as soon as I was monetized I made enough to pay for my groceries each month, and there have already been other benefits as well so while I would hardly call myself a professional commentary Tuber I can also say that it is a worthwhile endeavor.

First and foremost I'm really sorry you went through such a dark time in your life. Depression is debilitating and even though you may have worked through that specific moment, it's still a battle. I'm proud of you and I hope each morning you wake up with positive energy.

What really annoys me is when someone says, something is or was a lesson yet they never learn from it. Clearly he hasn't made that effort to learn about why someone doesn't text back straight away. And when he did get an answer he chose to ignore it. The ignorance to say it's to do with vulnerability is sooooo dumbbbbbbbbb. There's hundreds of factor's which can range from mental health and anxiety to personal problems to simply just being busy. This guy has no right to go on a podcast and talk absolute nonsense. His feelings may be valid but his opinion (a lot of podcasts are mostly commentary based on opinions) are not valid!!

Dickheads like him make men look so selfish and immature. Yes, I fucked up and will continue to fuck up on relationships but I'll never have the audacity tell another woman's story or actions through my opinion.

Dude you dodged a bullet with that one. Trust me that guy has so much growing to do. A serious relationship with him would have not only have been an emotional anchor but also a huge setback from you progressing in life with your goals and ambitions. When someone doesn't have the emotional capability to empathise and understand, they need to grow as a person. And they are not someone that you should be fixing either. They have to figure their own shit out instead of finding things to blame on others.

thank u so much<3 things are better now thankfully but yknow i do be having my moments. thankfully i have a small circle of friends who understands when i dont reach out for some time etc.

THE WAY I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!! there could be a myriad of reasons why one doesn’t text back right away. it’s so stupid too because one time in November he went through a depressive episode and didn’t text me back. he texted me like a week later and we picked up right where we left off. i was WAY MORE THAN OKAY WITH THAT. like i was so understanding of the situation and was not salty about it at all. but when i do it it’s a problem? it’s just so stupid. i guess i shouldn’t expect others to reciprocate the same kind of energy. these kinds of things are very telling of one’s character.

shout out to the real ones who *dont* tell someone else’s story thru their opinions.

i completely agree that i dodged a bullet. like after his response to me in December, i felt some type of way. i wasn’t expecting him to show up at my house with cookies because i was sad, but damn you didn’t have to cut me off like that. so naturally i started to lose interest in him. i just won’t tolerate people like that. i kinda figured he was annoyed with me, but never thought he would say that shit publicly. i agree that he has A LOT of growing/maturing to do. i actually suggested therapy more than once to him lol. i know it’s not for everyone but ya can’t knock it til you try it and he had not yet tried it. instead of therapy he started doing his podcast lmfao. but honestly the biggest of fuck you’s to him and i hope he heals.

im not gonna let this affect me any longer because he is CLEARLY not worth my energy nor time. im lowkey thankful because he showed his true colors in his last episode.

yikessss!

14 (What is your favourite moment in the game?) and 30 (Why is Omori special to you?) for the Omori ask game? :D

ahsjassa aNOTHER ONE THANK YOU

favorite moment, uhhhh! UHHH! there are so many, aaaghhhh TOO MANY. I CAN'T PICK JUST ONE so you get multiple, sorry not sorry. actually, two, I'll stick with two, otherwise I'll be up all night/morning, lol.

when Sunny goes on stage and plays his violin at the end of Memory Lane. just... not only is he playing the song Mari played on her piano, the one that's slowly been creeping back into his memories over the course of the game, but the way he just breaks down afterward... in front of all those empty chairs... and it's dead silent but you can tell that he's probably crying because he's doing the thing that Mari wanted them to do together and the violin itself has caused him so much pain and grief but it was a token of love from his friends and asagdhjakmnasj MY HEART COULDN'T TAKE IT THEN, IT STILL CAN'T NOW

the group hug after Sunny and friends finish the photo album. it was so sweet, seeing them all together again, and I loved how Hero forced Sunny into it (and the surprised look on his face). the only thing that kinda soured it for me was that Basil wasn't with them, so it felt... incomplete. wrong, even. poor boy probably wasn't in a hugging mood, but he sure as hell could've used one, right about then.

THE EXTRA SCENE AT THE VERY END WHERE SUNNY SMILES AT BASIL AND THEIR SOMETHINGS GO AWAY AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER SEEN HIM GENUINELY SMILE AND IT'S LIKE THIS SIGH OF RELIEF FROM THEM BECAUSE THINGS MIGHT ACTUALLY, FINALLY BE OKAY. a lot of things broke me, but that one scene was what had me openly weeping for a bit, when i got back to the title screen and could actually process everything. god.

ok so I lied, I picked three, I couldn't help it.

next! why is Omori special to me...? oh boy. we're gonna get sappy here, now, hang tight.

so, I love video games, but I don't play a lot of them because I'm lazy. it's easier to just watch streams and playthroughs (plus depending on who's playing, the commentary can really make the experience that much better), especially if it's something I can't see myself ever playing, anyway. but I love narrative-driven/focused games more than anything, so I'll usually try to play those if I hear they're good.

enter Omori. I knew nothing about it when it came out and only found out it existed when I saw that some YouTubers I liked were playing it. so, I watched the trailer and thought it looked and sounded neat, and decided that I'd get it and play it for myself, if only so that I could watch those playthroughs, later. I didn't want to spoil myself on it like I did with Undertale, another all-time favorite of mine. I wanted to play it completely blind and have that special experience with it that I couldn't be bothered to try and have with other games.

that waaaaaaas, what *checks* back in march? maybe a bit earlier; steam won't tell me when I installed it, but I finished it over the course of a few days. it's december now and I still think about it almost daily. that's... a big deal for me. huge, really.

i cried a lot more than i thought i would, playing it. not to say that it's hard for me to cry over fictional things, because it isn't really, but i was still really surprised?? like, i genuinely don't think that any other piece of media has affected me as deeply as this game has. in recent memory, at least. sure, it's not perfect, it doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but it didn't need to for me. I fell in love with its music, its characters, its story... and by the end of it i was fucking devastated, but also happy for the hopeful note it ended on. buuuut, i couldn't stop thinking about it. i wanted more time with sunny and his friends, i wanted to see them heal and move on; i was satisfied with the way things ended but still felt like i hadn't had enough because it was so... left put to interpretation. i needed closure, dammit!!!

SO! I started reading fanfics. which I've never done before. and putting my own ideas for my own fics together and! actually writing them!

Omori gave me the fucking fanfic phase I never had!! AND I WAS HEAD OVER HEELS FOR UNDERTALE, when that came out!!! my love of which is coming back with a vengeance, now that deltarune's a hot topic again and I'm discovering fics i never knew existed.

and maybe it's got a lot to do with the pandemic and life for me being pretty stagnant over the last couple of years after college ended, but I've genuinely been so happy?? having played this game and found this community of people who seem to love it as much as I do??? and having found all these wonderful stories to read and been so inspired by them that I've wanted to start writing more, which is so hard for me to do outside of fucking forums because my motivation is literal shit???! I've never been this involved in anything before, and for so long, and I don't see any of these feelings fading any time soon, and... yeah. it's a very, very special game to me.
