#thank you for the ask anon and thank you for letting me gush about anime

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

ari, could you potentially give me advice as to what i should watch next? i finished 'jujutsu kaisen' a couple of months ago, but i can't find myself anything to watch...

i tried getting into delicious in dungeon but i didn't really enjoy it all that much and found it to be a little boring... (i watched three episodes.)

i started watching frieren and while it's entertaining and there are aspects that i enjoy, it doesn't grip me as much as 'jujutsu kaisen' did.

on the other hand, i don't want to watch anything that it too dark and distressing, you know?

i was just wondering if you have found something fun since you have finished 'jujutsu kaisen'.

SLAMS FIST ON TABLE.

you have come to the right place :3333

ANON I’M SO HAPPY SOBS!!!!!!! i’ve been wanting to rant about the anime i like/the ones i’ve been watching recently for a while now………….

not liking dungeon meshi is totally fine, i will say that it only gets better the further you get!! :3 if you have the time i’d at least watch the first cour and see what you think!! it does . a bit of a genre swap….. 👀👀 frieren is one i put on hold too, so i can’t say much about that… i’ll probably watch it at some point though. anyway.

OKAY SOOOO . i do have some general recs for you first, before i get to anime that are currently airing/just finished airing!! if you’re looking for something similar to jjk then the obvious answer is chainsaw man, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s my favorite manga next to jjk so. yk!! personally i think it’s better than jjk writing wise but s1 doesn’t get to the Really good parts…..

buuuut i know you didn’t want anything too dark and gritty, which csm most definitely is, so 😭 i’m gonna tell you abt my favorite favorite little anime. kind of. which is fate/stay night: unlimited bladeworks <333 EXTREMELY important that you watch the ufotable version. the fate series is my favorite ever and the anime means so much to me…. lots of good writing and characters and more than anything it’s very hopeful. in a really heartfelt way!!! the heaven’s feel movies are super good but also adapted from the darkest route of the fate visual novel lmao, so maybe… stay away from those. they’re insanely good though!!

another fate work that recently got adapted is fate/strange fake!! :3 only one episode is out rn as a kind of teaser for the series to come, but PLEASE do check it out because it’s… so good. i have a feeling you’ll love it, anon!! fate and jjk are similar in a lot of important ways i think….

i also want to give you some recs if you’re just looking for fluffy slice of life/romcom stuff!!!! romantic killer, gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun, and a sign of affection are all super feel-good and comfy <3333 just really funny and cute…

WITH THAT BEING SAID . i’m gonna recommend some anime that i’m currently watching/just recently finished!!!! i have two in mind :33

first: oshi no ko!!! i’m mentioning this one first since it is… a pretty dark show. not in the same way jjk is, but i’d call it a kind of psychological horror/it deals with some really sensitive topics!! the whole point of the show is to dissect the entertainment industry, including/especially the darker parts, which i think says enough. it’s so much fun to watch and i feel like i learn a lot from it too :3 from what i’ve heard the portrayal is very accurate!! it’s also just… a gorgeous show with such an interesting premise and fun cast?? the first episode is movie length and made me sob like a baby, so i’d watch that one and see how you feel afterwards!! season 2 is currently airing :333

then!!! we have my arguably biggest rec for you anon: wind breaker!! it just recently finished at 13 episodes, and it’s a very action heavy shounen :3 super cool fight scenes, GREAT characters, and really lovely writing but in a way that’s easy to digest. this is the perfect anime for binging i think, and also really pulled me in (though eps 7-9 are my absolute favorites!!) <333 if you’re looking for something to feed your shounen brain with characters you can latch onto for comfort, wind breaker is your guy. i am in Love with togame jo.

………. also. anon. you asked for anime specifically but i want nothing but the best for you so 😔 i’m also gonna go ahead and recommend this…… interactive murder mystery music series? on youtube. it’s… basically anime!! just mostly mvs and audio dramas….. i’ll link the playlist so you can watch it in order, the first video will hopefully explain everything you need to know :33 milgram means . the universe to me and the characters/song are soso lovely. please tell me if you watch this one i would literally kill to have someone to talk about it with…..

ANYWAYYYY this got very long but i hope that’s okay!!!! more than anything i hope this helps you find your way to a new obsession 🫂🫂 all these anime are super good and precious to me, i’m sure you’ll love them all a lot!!!! hopefully!!!!!!!

hello!! ur theme is so cute omg <3 may i request blade’s s/o (can be gn!) spending more time with a cat they adopted and he got jealous and he decides to cling to his s/o 😭😭 sorry if this doesnt make sense wiendidnf

take ur time writing it 🫶🫶

thank u!!! don't worry anon it makes perfect sense in fact it feels like my third eye was opened the moment i saw this on my inbox

➵ warning(s) applicable: none

➵ wc: 1.1k

➵ blade has found his new rival— it came in the form of a dark-furred animal with four paws and orange eyes. he eyes it as you coddle it and sing a song. …it’s decided. this has gone too far. it’s his turn to be cuddled and coddled now.

It was a mistake— no, this whole thing was a mistake.

At first, it seemed like a good idea to him. In fact, he was the one who got the idea— he knew you love cats. So did he; he found the little creatures interesting and maybe just a tad bit cute. But you, on the other hand… you frequently gushed (clutching your chest, cooing, everything) over cat videos.

Cat videos. On the screen. It’s not even the real thing right before your eyes yet you acted like this.

But he thought that the smile on your face was far too precious and that it would definitely make you happy to have a cat of your own or a ‘furbaby’, as Bronie calls it.

When he proposed the idea, you instantly nodded. Then, you reveal a sickening number of tabs open on your phone, all containing research about the best way to take care of cats. He recalls the time you were complaining about your phone moving so slowly; he was about to ask you how long literally hundreds of tabs have been open on it, but then you give him that beaming smile that he’s always (secretly) felt weak to, and the question gets thrown to oblivion.

And just a day after that, you two were home with a cute little bundle of joy (your words, not his) and you were smiling unstoppably. To him, the cat wasn’t anything particularly remarkable. However, its black fur paired with orange eyes has apparently intrigued you.

“What are you gonna name him?”

“Pepper,” You reply, looking down at the cat. “Isn’t it fitting?”

“Pepper? That’s more like a dog’s name to me.”

You only laugh as the cat peacefully curls up atop your lap, looking much like a bundle of darkness rather than joy. Blade’s spot, he thinks. That’s where he rests his head as he naps or simply absentmindedly scrolls through his phone, but he lets it pass— it’s good to let the cat become very accustomed to you. It shouldn’t be a challenge to get the cat to warm up to you; perhaps he was biased, but if you asked him, he’d say it’s very easy to like you.

Months pass and Blade does get proven right; Pepper has given his verdict as to who his favorite parent is and, predictably, it’s you. You and Pepper work in tandem half the time— whenever the cat isn’t asleep, anyway. Wherever you go, Pepper goes.

Now: Pepper did like Blade, yes, but the cat was attached to you to the point that you couldn’t even take a piss without it scratching at the door to be let in. And on the other hand, you’ve taken to affectionately calling Pepper your son.

And this son… is coming in between his parents.

You see, earlier this day, Blade had been minding his business. It’s a weekend, and he’s sitting in bed, watching a show. You were right beside him, leaning onto him as your eyes are cast on the screen before you. 

But after a while, before you two even knew it, watching turns into kissing.

“Ren…” You mutter against his lips as you lay below Blade. You were about to open your mouth to say something when suddenly, a walking nightmare on four legs slipped between Blade’s and your body.

And Pepper hisses at Blade.

“Aw, Pepper!” You turn to the cat, taking it in your arms. Blade parts from you, opting to lay beside you as you coo over your son, saying something about how he’s so adorable.

He watches as Pepper gets showered in kisses. “Aw, my cutesy, does Pepper want kisses too?”

Blade does, but that cat in your arms interrupted you two. He turns his eyes back to the television, slightly disgruntled. But once more, he lets it pass. After all, he did like Pepper too, even with all his kiss-stealing tendencies. Pepper was as much his… ‘son’ as much as it was yours.

He thinks that the cat must’ve sensed Blade’s somewhat lax behavior towards it; today, it’s really pushing its luck. 

Lunchtime? Pepper rubbed his head all over your legs until you decide to give him some of the food on your plate despite the fact that he already had his own lunch and finished it with much vigor. Oh, what about the afternoon? You spent it playing with Pepper until he fell asleep. Dinnertime? Same modus as lunch.

And now… well, now, as you sit in bed, Pepper laid on your lap as though it was his personal seat. You didn’t seem bothered about it, not even one bit— in fact, you hummed as you pet its head affectionately.

And Blade? He’s sitting right beside you, phone in hand as he side-eyes Pepper.

This has gone too far. Isn’t it his time to be coddled too?

He wraps an arm around your shoulder, making you lean towards him. You oblige with a smile on your face but eyes still on Pepper. With his actions, the cat turns its head toward Blade and he swears to everything holy that the cat definitely must be annoyed at him. The only thing missing is for it to hiss at him again.

Eyes narrowed and looking directly at Pepper, Blade presses a kiss against your temple.

The cat stares back at him.

His arm tightens around your shoulder and his free hand reaches for yours—

“Ren, you’re a lot more clingy today,” You comment, finally looking at Blade. Then, you notice the expression on his face. You follow his eyes and you find yourself looking right at your son.

You cannot help the laughter bubbling up your stomach. It was ridiculous to you; was Blade having a silent competition with Pepper?

At the sound of your laughter, Blade’s glare at Pepper finally breaks and he looks at you, asking, “What?”

“Nothing,” You answer, sparing Blade the shame of having to admit silently declaring rivalry with Pepper. “You want kisses?”

“...Why’re you talking to me like I’m Pepper?”

You repeat, ignoring Blade’s reply, “You want kisses?”

Silence. Then, “Yes.”

You take Pepper in your arms, lifting him from your lap. You then put Pepper down on the bed before you turn your body to Blade. Your eyes flicker from Blade’s eyes and to his lips, then you lean even closer to finally kiss him.

His arms wrap around your body, holding you closer. Even as you pull away, he doesn’t let go of you.

So your hunch was right. With a smile on your face, you play with his hair, pushing his bangs away from his eyes. “I’ll make it up to you, alright? I’ll cuddle you and sing for you too, so you don’t have to sulk anymore.”

Blade defensively answers, “Who said I was sulking?”

“Oh? Do you not want me to cu—”

“I didn’t say that,” Blade interrupts. Then, in a quieter voice, almost as if he’s embarrassed, “I wouldn’t be jealous because of a cat.”

“I didn’t say anything about Pepper, though?”

“...Damn it.”

Heya! I have midterms this week (wish me luck), can I ask for some floof head canons to give me energy?

I'm okay if you want to keep it in the omegaverse au or not, also good with ags and bc (and anything you'd like to add)

Thank youuu, hope you're doing good

omg i wish you best of luck anon! i really hope all goes well! :)

heres a few of the softest/most domestic headcanons that come to mind:

(mostly asg but there is one zc too)

- genesis has a secret stash of stuffed animals, including his favorite thats a little grey cat he's had for a long time that he calls "sephy", and he refuses to let sephiroth find out about it. only angeal knows about it, and he teases genesis about "sephy" whenever he sees it but he has also promised to keep genesis' secret, partially because they have a deal that if angeal keeps "sephy" a secret, genesis won't tell zack about the time angeal absolutely gushed, and even got emotional about how proud he was of zack when zack got promoted to first (it was angeal's proudest "fatherly" mentor moment)

- the first time cloud brought zack home to meet his mom, he was incredibly nervous about how it would go, and even zack was a little nervous about making a good impression, but as soon as claudia saw them together and saw how zack treated cloud, she instantly loved zack and welcomed zack as a part of the family, treating him like a son and even giving zack her blessing to marry cloud in the future. not to mention that claudia also felt it necessary to start telling zack every single embarrassing moment in cloud's childhood, which zack found absolutely adorable, but poor cloud could only sit there in horror

- before asg went public with their relationship, the three of them, mainly genesis though, would always find ways to sneak small kisses and whisper soft "i love you"s to each other in the minuscule timeframes between their public appearances, which nearly led to them being caught numerous times. and whenever they had public appearances as a group, like interviews and whatnot, they would always do things like link their pinkies together under a table or just out of view of the cameras, or they would "accidentally" brush the back of their hands together, just doing anything they could to be as close as possible in public without being caught

- sometimes angeal will get cold since he's the only one who doesn't have a coat as part of his uniform, so genesis will lend angeal his coat, but not without teasingly "scolding" angeal the way he knows angeal would scold him or sephiroth if they were in the same position, almost as payback for all the times angeal has scolded them over small things

- on rare occasions, sephiroth will be in a very specific clingy mood where he wants nothing more than to just cuddle or be cuddled by genesis and angeal, but he never voices his desires, not really knowing how to. although despite sephiroth never saying anything, genesis and angeal are somehow always able to tell what sephiroth wants, always being able to notice the tiniest of subtle hints and differences in sephiroth's behavior, and they always find it to be the cutest thing ever, and never hesitate to give sephiroth what he wants

oct' 20 x sweater weather

Prompt: sweater weather Pairing: dieter x bryony (ofc) Word Count: 839 Warnings: un-beta'd is the name of the game, dieter bravo & just fluff Summary: when dieter met fiona

x. masterlist

this is for you fiona anon 💗🦛:

Bryony had warned him to pack a sweater in his bag, he’d insisted he didn’t need one. 

“I lived in Ohio,” he scoffed, “I know what it’s like there.”

Bryony hadn’t wanted to remind him that he’d lived out in LA now longer than he had any other state, including New York where winters could be cruel. She also wasn’t going to mention he lived in Ohio for all of six months when he was eight either. It was best sometimes not to get into the finer details with Dieter or you could find yourself debating something completely different to what you started on. 

So she was currently waiting for him to admit he was wrong as they waited in a private area of the airport for their car, one perk of travelling with celebrity, as he crossed his arms at his chest in an obvious attempt to stave off the chill in the fall air. 

“So we’re going to the hotel first, right?” Dieter asked. 

“No, the car is taking us straight to the event.” Came a voice from behind the couple, Rosie Jones, all five foot nothing, petite, red headed powerhouse who was furiously tapping at one of her three phones that she carried at all times. 

Dieters first ever publicist, well first he had actually acknowledged and first that he sometimes listened to. 

“That’s a shame,” Bryony muttered as she inspected her nails, this week they were stiletto shaped in an ombré of grey and soft pinks, Dieters choice. “If we were going to the hotel I could have grabbed myself an extra sweater.” She tugged her coat tighter around her. 

Dieter narrowed his eyes at her, “How far away is the car?” He asked, turning to Rosie. 

She didn’t look up from her screen, “Should be here in the next couple of minutes.”

“What’s the matter Mr. Ohio, cold?” Bryony asked, she swore she saw his teeth chatter. 

“No, just curious about the schedule,” Dieter replied.

After a short ride, they arrived at their destination, the Cincinnati Zoo.

The moment they stepped out of the car, the chill hit Dieter once more, causing him to shiver involuntarily. Bryony gave him a knowing look but was met with a trademark Dieter grin.

Trying to keep his dignity intact, he quickly steered towards the gift shop as Rosie threw her arms up in defeat as she had just been mid sentence explaining how the photo op was going to go.

Five minutes later Dieter reappeared wearing a bright pink crew neck sweater, not out of the ordinary by any means. Except it was emblazoned with the name Fiona and an image of the animal in question.

Bryony rolled her eyes, “Feeling warmer Bravo?”

“It's sweater weather,” He responded, “Didn't want to disappoint Fiona.”

The trio headed towards Fiona's enclosure. As they approached, Dieter's excitement became evident. For all his flamboyancy and celebrity persona, there was a child-like wonder in his eyes as he neared the hippo enclosure. 

Bryony nudged him, “Look at you, all giddy.”

“It's not every day you get to visit with your hippo bestie!” he retorted.

Rosie briefed Dieter about the photo op, emphasizing the importance of promoting his role as an ambassador for the zoo. The zookeepers had set up a special private event, allowing Dieter to feed Fiona a pumpkin, marking the beginning of the fall season.

Bryony watched, amusement clear in her eyes, as Dieter gingerly held the pumpkin out towards Fiona, his eyes wide in awe as the massive creature gently took the treat from him. The flashes from cameras around captured the moment, but Bryony knew the true joy in Dieter's heart would remain a cherished memory.

“I can't believe this is my second time meeting Fiona!” Dieter gushed as they walked away from the enclosure, his steps light despite the cold. “Thank you, Bry, for coming out here with me.”

She let out a small chuckle and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Well, I had to make sure you didn't try to jump into the enclosure or something. That, and making sure you actually came home.”

Dieter chuckled. “I might be a lot of things, but I’m not about to leave you for Fiona. Anyway, I think, just maybe, you rank a tiny bit higher than Fiona in my heart.”

Raising an eyebrow, she teased, “Really? Even after she just let you feed her a pumpkin?”

He winked at her, “Well, Fiona might let me feed her pumpkins, but you let me—”

Bryony cut him off with a laugh, “Let's keep in G rated Bravo, we’re in a family establishment.” Reaching out, she intertwined her fingers with his and pulled him close. She rose up on her toes to press her lips against his. When they parted, she smiled up at him, never tired of the dopey grin he got when they kissed,  “But why don't we head back to the hotel and you can elaborate on what it is I let's you do?”

Hey, I don't know how much of Frontiers you have played yet (so feel free to hold off on answering until you play a bit more, if you want) but how are you liking it? 👀 How do you feel the devs did on the game?

I am asking because I DO want to hear you gush about Frontiers (or give your criticisms), but also for slightly selfish reasons because the team who made Frontiers is also making the open world Star Wars game and I am a bit hyped lmao. I am hoping that if the team did a great job on Frontiers, they might also do a great job with my hearthome as well c:

But for real, please gush if you want, I love hearing about your hearthome stuff and seeing people get excited over things like that brings me so much joy.

@starrun (sideblog woes, gotta send on anon)

(Ayyyy, fellow hearthome-haver! :D)

So here's the thing about Frontiers, and thank you for giving me an excuse to make this post.

I'm going to preface this by saying I am not very far into the story yet, so this may well just be a case of me not being far enough in to have a good grasp on it. I haven't even gotten to getting my ikran yet, and I know that's considered relatively early in the story.

With that being said: If one of your primary desires with Frontiers of Pandora is to experience Pandora, you will have a fantastic time with this game. If that's not something you're really interested in, and you're only focused on other aspects of gameplay... it might not be worth the price tag for you.

I am in love with this game, let me be very clear about that. I've been playing it obsessively in every spare minute I have. But my primary desire with it is to experience Eywa'eveng, story and other gameplay aspects be damned. In that, Frontiers does a spectacular job - the world is impossibly detailed and interactive and beautiful, the animals and plants are fun and interesting and I haven't even gotten out of the jungle where they really put together a bunch of new stuff yet, the feeling of the world is flawless. Weather cycles are a thing, day-night cycles are a thing, and both of them are extremely well-done in terms of duration and beauty. The gathering and crafting systems focusing on immersiveness and quality over quantity is great; the cooking system is genuinely fun to experiment with (though that probably won't last terribly long lol). The Na'vi actually speak well-pronounced Na'vi! Although the subtitles could use some corrections and there's a couple of weird instances where character names are misspelled according to Na'vi phonetics (looking at you, Eetu - that should be Itu). The character concepts are very strong and interesting, and I'm in love with a couple of them. The music is incredible. Running around in the world feels fantastic - you really feel how strong and agile you are as a Na'vi, and they really understood how important verticality is to Eywa'eveng; you can climb basically anything you want and you're rewarded for exploring by finding neat things and resources. I can't wait to be able to fly.

However, it's clear that they focused so hard on that aspect of the game that, in my opinion at least, some other aspects of it suffered. There's some weird little things, like the fact that NPCs in the world who have something for you but don't have a whole cutscene don't turn to face you when they talk to you, and the ones that do have a cutscene tend to glitch and teleport when the cutscene ends sometimes (mostly this seems to happen with cutscenes that aren't directly plot-relevant, though, so it's not like it's gotten in the way of anything, it's just jarring). The character and story concepts are very strong, fun, and interesting, but the execution is... kind of meh so far, to be honest. A good portion of the dialogue feels a little unpolished.

There's also a few game decisions I just plain don't like, even though it's clear that's just a case of "they were going for something different from my preference" rather than "this is poorly done". For instance, there's no dialogue options when you talk to NPCs; the player character just says what they're going to say, and for me, even if a dialogue option doesn't actually change anything, it's still nice to have it and makes it feel more interactive and engaging. As it is, I feel a little disconnected from the character I'm playing as. Similarly, while there's a lot of ambient dialogue from NPCs as you walk around (which is fun and nice), I kind of miss the ability a lot of RPGs have to walk up to the major/named NPCs and interact with them to prompt a dialogue line when they don't actually have a full conversation for you.

But, again, a lot of the weak points are things that might well get ironed out as I get further into the story, and might just be a symptom of that weird little portion a lot of games have toward the start where they're trying to get you fully set and going on the story and thus things have to be a little weird to make that happen. A lot of the characters' mehness is not that they feel flat, but that they feel unexplored, and like... there's plenty of time for them to be explored in, it just hasn't happened yet. So I'm reticent to say any of this is a very fair critique just yet, but it's what I've got for you.

Hi !

I'm that anon that was gushing about finding you back on AO3 after loving "Always Gold" forever, right?

I just felt like I had to let you know, I never was a Zolu shipper, actually. Mostly, I enjoy the entire crew being completely platonic with each other.

THAT being said, you write them SO fucking well that you're basically converting me to them, but it's not the reason I follow you and stuff. Your writing is just... So good and evocative and you somehow always makes the most interesting plots, handdle them so interestingly and have the best Luffy in general.

(Somehow, a well written Luffy is always difficult to find 😭)

And I am a time-travel fics whore, you see, as well as devotions centric ones, so of course, I am basically worshipping the ground you walk on. The ships are just a bonus to me!

I cannot wait for next chapter, I am gnawing at my walls >x<

oh my god!!! hi!!! aaaahhh oh my god this is the nicest compliment, holy shit!!! aklsjdhfsdf im glad that my writing is impactful enough to break out of zolu containment (LOL) especially luffy!! i confess i am always the most worried about his characterization because his voice can be kind of hard to pin down sometimes (since we almost never see his internal monologue in canon and mostly oda just gives us, like, reaction panels) so this is like!!!! ahh!!! thank you so much!!!

like u i am a HUGE nakamaship fan and i love writing crew interactions the most so im hoping i can put together some shorter straw hat fics in the near future!! that being said... i would like to formally welcome u to my zolu corner. it is a delight to have you!!! lol

even tho it is zolu, albatross/always gold will stay very romance dawn trio/nakamaship-centric as it goes on, i promise. im glad you're looking forward to the next chapter!!! im really excited to get back into it when i finish my current project omg. it's waiting in the wings as a special little treat :3c anyway, it makes me sooo happy you like it so much. here is a little snippet of what i've already written for chapter 3 (if you want!)

---

As he watches, she plants her feet in front of Luffy, who stops—staring at her with wide, curious eyes, mouth still half-full of food. Her knuckles tint white where she has them clasped together. Zoro blinks, stunned, but Luffy must see something her expression, must pick up on something because he tilts his head at her like a kind of curious animal—and then Kuina bows.

In one formal, breathy rush, she says, “Thank you for taking care of my stupid, gross little cousin. He’s not a very good swordsman, and he gets lost easily, and he’s terrible at talking to people—so he needs someone to watch out for him.”

And Luffy laughs, throwing his head back, and Kuina’s own head whips up with a kind of stunned expression on her face.

“He is stupid! And he’s gross!” Luffy crows, and Zoro sputters. “But Nami keeps us from getting lost, and he talks to me just fine, and—didn’t you know?” he says, grinning, leaning forward again. “He’s going to be the greatest swordsman.” He stands up straight, and Kuina blinks at him, her expression faltering—then Luffy asks, eyes sharp but still smiling, “You’re the white sword, right?”

Kuina frowns, “The—”

“Wa-do I-chi-mon-ji,” Luffy enunciates, hitting each syllable like he’s practiced it over and over again. Like he’s memorized it with intention, one of the few names among hundreds that matters enough to remember. And Zoro feels a kind of nausea in the base of his throat, a bundle of emotions he doesn’t want to deal with, because he knows Luffy knows his swords, but he’s never bothered to ask if he knew them.

A Zoro watches, Kuina looks at Luffy a little warily—like maybe he’s playing some kind of trick on her. She’s still stiff-backed, not quite risen from her bow, and there’s a formality to her posture that seems so wrong directed at Luffy. Habits drilled into them both about respect, respect, respect for the people with power.

Slowly, carefully, she says, “It’s my sword.”

“No, it’s not. It’s Zoro’s sword.” Then, peering at her, he gives a decisive nod. “I’m right,” he says.

“About wha—” Kuina starts, clearly frustrated—already forgetting that Luffy is a Captain because he’s just so Luffy.

Then, without warning, he beams at her—one hand on his hat in a gesture Zoro has seen a thousand times, but that he knows—in that way he always knows what Luffy is thinking—means he’s swearing on the most precious thing in the world that what he’s saying is true. “Thank you,” he says, grinning, “for Zoro.”

And Kuina looks at him, startled. “Don’t thank me for something I didn’t do.”

Luffy tilts his head, frowning at her like he’s thinking, even though Zoro knows—can see him assessing her. “Did you know he fights with his teeth?” he says, gesturing wildly. “He puts the sword in his mouth and—that way, the only way someone can take the sword is by taking his head, too. You’re his treasure.”

“That’s so stupid,” she laughs, almost forgetting, and Luffy grins at her. “He’s so stupid.”

“And strong, and cool, and kind, and funny, and strong—”

“You already said that.”

“Because it’s true!” Luffy says like she’s stupid, and Kuina makes a face because she hates that kind of tone on deep, existential level, Zoro knows. Too many lectures synonymizing stupid with girl, even though Luffy wouldn’t know (or care) if they beat him over the head with it. Case in point, Luffy sticks his tongue out at her. “What’s that look for?” he says, frowning. “Shouldn’t you be proud? You made him that way.”

And deeply, intrinsically, inexplicably Zoro feels like something’s lodged in his throat even though he hasn’t even touched his food—

—but Luffy looks up, then, and catches his eye, and his Captain absolutely lights up as he scrambles over, already moving on from Kuina and whatever that was—leaving a blinking, bewildered little girl behind in the grass.

pspspsps. as a long-time stacyplays enjoyer, i feel like my time has come (in response to your earlier post about wanting to know if she has any good videos to be recommended). This is high key an excuse to slightly gush, fair warning.

If you want something more contained to a single episode, then I would recommend any episode of Stacy's Mineclash series with Graser10. Mineclash is a series where Stacy and Graser compete against each other in Minecraft to complete unique challenges, originally meant to be only three parts. It. uh. Did not stay Three Parts. The banter Graser and Stacy have is hilarious, and you absolutely do not have to watch it in order.

Her most well-known series is 'Dogcraft', a single-player modded series that has the express goal of 'adopting as many dogs as possible'. It's very much in the style old school Minecraft single player series, like Etho's main Minecraft Let's Play or LDShadowlady's Shadowcraft, if you've seen either of them. She creates builds, tames all sorts of animals, and creates her own little storylines within the let's play. It's also 345 episodes long, which is a little daunting, but I love to watch it or let it run in the background from time to time.

For medium length, I'd foremost recommend any of the Diversity maps she plays with IHasCupQuake, her 'Shelter' let's play, and any season of UHC or UHShe she's in--- I've always liked UHShe season 8. Way back in the day she also used to be a part of The Cube SMP, if you like SMPs.

Most of Stacy's videos are under Youtube Kids now ever since three years ago, with the exception of a few, but I still like them. Honestly, Stacy's stayed pretty consistent over the years, with her love of animals, books, education, and nature. She's always incredibly creative, too. No matter what playlist you click on her channel, it'll be a nice ride, and you'll pretty much know what to expect. The stuff I've listed above are just my tippity toppity favorites of her channel, and I'm actively holding myself back from describing more stuff she's done (like Bookcraft my beloved <3) so this doesn't turn into a thousand-page essay >_>

Sorry for the massive ask! Stacyplays is basically... my Ethoslab, if you will. to put it into perspective. I grew up on her videos, and she's shaped quite a bit of my vocabulary and mind.

Whether or not you choose to watch any of these series, it just made me seriously happy that someone new was enjoying her content with the new life series :] So thank you for that, and have a nice day!

Aaa, I was so hoping someone would find that post and do exactly this! First of all anon, thank you, I am jotting this down. She seems like such a sweet person, and I was adoring her vibes in new life so far. Can’t wait to check out more, and I’m so glad she’s one of your favorites. This was lovely to read.

[aihoshiino]

your analysis are really interesting and are a joy to read! i wanted to ask about your thoughts on the tokyo blade arc of the manga because its really interesting and gives a lot of characters more depth

thank u so much anon! 🥺 I feel like I've said this in like every ask but it really does surprise and delight me how many people vibe with my longform takes on the series when the extent of my fandom engagement for the last few years has been talking about fate grand order in a group chat comprised of like 5 other gay people LMAO

That said, Tokyo Blade is... an arc I have mixed feelings on! It was, in fact, the arc I originally dropped the manga on back when I was first following it in 2020/2021 feeling it was poorly paced and that I wasn't able to get invested in the cast to the degree it wanted me to me. But upon revisiting the series and this arc in particular with fresh eyes, I think I was being pretty unfair to it - though I do stand by my feeling of the pacing being not the best at least when reading it week to week. It's one of those arcs that definitely works better when you can take it all in at once as opposed to having it doled out over what felt like an agonizingly slow 30+ weeks.

As for my current feelings... in isolation I think it's extremely strong and has some incredible moments that I am PUMPED for seeing animated in season 2 but the further we get away from it and see its long term effects on the cast (or I should say, the lack thereof) the more I feel like it ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

Not that it's a bad arc, mind! Like I said, it has some insanely strong individual moments and I think the character arcs it ends up serving are super interesting. Its commentary is compelling and I literally can't gush enough about the massive glowup Melt gets in this arc. Every time I have new friends get into the series and understandably react with derision towards him in Sweet Today I just sit there crying tears of blood like that's my fucking baby son you don't understand

I also just really appreciate that the arc is willing to slow down and just let us breathe in some of the emotional baggage the characters are all dealing with without needing to shackle it to Aqua's revenge quest. Even the side characters like the mangakas and the production staff feel like they have real, human lives beyond the ways they factor into the plot and again, it feels like there are real weight and stakes to ensuring the play's success beyond just whether or not it will help Aqua do a thing. So many people's careers (and by extension, their lives) are hanging in the balance and you feel the weight of that responsibility absolutely crushing everyone involved. It's great!

This is potentially a sillier point to add but can I also say that I really like how authentic Tokyo Blade feels as an in-universe piece of fiction LOL. Everything from the premise to the designs rings so fucking true to the exact sort of manga it's a pastiche of that I'm half expecting to hear about the Studio Bones Tokyo Blade anime adaptation announcement any day now because it feels so real to me.

On the less positive side, though... like I said, this arc is s l o w. I believe it's still Oshi no Ko's longest arc at three volumes's worth of chapters and change and it's such a change to the story's until-then relatively breezy pace that it can be really jarring when you go in not expecting it. Again, having the arc available in full to read as quick or slow as you like does a lot to alleviate this problem but if you aren't connecting with it, you're stuck with it for an incredibly long time. This also means that B-Komachi in general and Ruby in specific get completely side-lined for almost thirty entire chapters - Ruby basically vanishes during this entire arc and if you were invested in and excited about her as a character, it sucks to see her get so immediately and completely sidelined after what felt like a big triumphant step forward for her, which is a pattern that will unfortunately continue through the rest of the series.

And speaking of unfortunate patterns... Tokyo Blade is the arc where Akane starts taking steps towards becoming the version of herself I like the least lmao. I've said to friends elsewhere that short hair/LoveNow!Akane and long hair/post Tokyo Blade!Akane basically feel like completely different characters to me and while I really love and am invested in LoveNow!Akane, PTB!Akane is easily my least favourite member of the main cast for reasons that are not entirely her fault.

She doesn't quite achieve her final form in Tokyo Blade arc but the seeds of my worst future annoyances with her (lack of meaningful connection to the extended cast, largely just orbiting Aqua, the overly convenient nature of her deductions, etc) start to take root here. There are some teases of interesting ideas and I particularly enjoy the build up, development and reveal of the true nature of her rivalry with and animosity for Kana but I don't feel like these bear any long term fruit.

That's probably my biggest problem with Tokyo Blade - it feels like an arc that should massively advance the story and the arcs of all the characters associated with it. In some ways it does and we get some tasty crumbs about the central mystery but when you take a step back and really look, the broad strokes status quo of the plot and the character relationships really don't get much of a shakeup and even the things that do feel like they should lead to big changes (Akane figuring out Ai's secret, Aqua finding his half-brother, Kana getting her shine back and Akane's reaction) just kind of... don't? Or at least not in ways that are as impactful as they feel they should be.

Kana and Akane's rivalry is probably the worst example of this. It's built up across the whole arc to the point of their on-stage confrontation basically being the arc's climactic high point. Kana finally stepping into the spotlight again and outshining Akane so beautifully really feels like it should have served as a gigantic change to their dynamic but not only have they barely interacted in any meaningful capacity since it happened, but the times they have it's just been the same old shit of hostility and sniping at each other with the tiny flavour difference of "oh gosh, akane is just such a tsundere tee hee <3". It just doesn't feel like the meaningful, impactful change it should have been based on how hard the end of that arc made me FEEL it.

I've said elsewhere before that a lot of the characters feel sort of like they've been stuck in holding patterns since Tokyo Blade and I'm hoping that in the Movie arc, with the cast being crunched together into a single, extremely emotionally taxing and relevant project, it might shake a bit of life back into the proceedings, especially given that Aka has said that he thinks the manga's ending is probably within sight - though that could be anything from fifty to a hundred more chapters depending on what he's got planned so who knows how things might shake out.

I do ultimately feel more positively about the arc than negative, though! I feel like I rambled a lot more about the things I dislike here than the things I enjoyed but that's because I feel like the arc's strengths speak for themselves while the stuff I don't like as much needed a bit more explaining. At the end of the day, I think Tokyo Blade is a really solid arc that I'm beyond excited to see animated - it has one of my favourite scenes in the whole manga (given that I am an Ai enjoyer you can uh, probably guess which one it is) and I'm really hopeful that we might get a sneaky peek at a certain someone if season 2 ends at the point I suspect it might...

Eyyyy sweet anon here! Just want to say thank you so much! I feel honoured to get the sweet anon title. I never expect myself to get such title and I love it so much😍 and you make my day too, I'm so happy today (I think I'm blushing) And I LOVE anime too! Maybe not a hardcore one but yeah, ANIMES😍 So you can definitely talk about anime to me! I would love to watch new animes. I too, was like Satan when I'm younger(I'm still I guess😋) but now I love to read web comics

I need some new web comics to read because I left my manga at home, so if you have any recommendations can you send them my way anon?

And also....

I LOVE ANIME SO MUCH AND YEAH I KNOW SOME OF IT SUCKS BECAUSE THE PLOT HAS TOO MANY PLOTHOLES IN IT BUT THEN YOU GET SOME GEMS THAT JUST?? HAVE AN AMAZING STORY OR TEACH YOU SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF?!!!

Akame Ga Kill taught me to cherish moments with my loved ones like it's my last,because you never know what could happen.

Fate/Stay Night UBW pointed out to me that my greatest enemy is myself, and the only one who can defeat that enemy is myself.

Bungou Stray Dogs is just SO COOL and WOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH IT'S LIKE TRYING TO PLAY CHESS WITH THE FINAL BOSS OF A VIDEOGAME ON INSANE MODE AS YOU GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

ID: INVADED awakens your inner detective and you get to solve murders

Nanbaka teaches you that you don't have to take on the world by yourself, as long as those you care about are by your side and you get to have fun with them then life's just a bit more bearable

The Heroic Legend of Arslan is iconic and I think it's still on Hulu it's just aixbejxjabdjckl SO GOOD -

Haikyuu!! teaches you to never give up, and that there's always something new to learn

Stars Align teaches you that yeah, everyone isn't perfect and everyone has their own problems, but as long as we support each other then one day, it'll be okay

Balance: Unlimited is just. Hilarious. I've laughed at least thrice each episode, and I'm sure I'll learn something in the future once it's finished. (probably how truly broke I am lmaooo)

Yona of the Dawn made me cry. FIVE TIMES. OVER THE SAME SCENE BECAUSE I REWATCHED THE SERIES. (Someone please help the Blue Dragon he deserves all the love in the world)

AND THERE'S JUST SO MANY MORE I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED ON

What are some of your favorite animes? I'd love to hear them!

My Masterlist

Pull Over 

Santiago was fuming. His hands clenched and unclenched around the leather of the steering wheel. His lip caught between his teeth as he gnawed on it, muttering curses under his breath. You were pissed too, running your hands up and down your jeans, looking at your boyfriend slowly lose his composure as the city lights reflected in his deep brown eyes. 

“Santiago,” you start, but he cuts you off with a sharp look, and you feel yourself retreat. His foot slams on the breaks at a red light, and he looks over at you. 

“What?” he tosses his hands in the air, “What the fuck could you possibly have to say to me right now?” His tone is stern, and you can feel the tension thick and suffocating in the cab of the truck, his eyes burning holes in you. 

“He was fucking asking for it, Santiago!” you shout, and the light turns green, but he just sits there stewing until the car behind you starts honking. It doesn’t phase him, and he continues to stare at you—the car behind coming around and flipping you both the bird. 

“I fucking know that! But did you have to break his goddamn nose?” He pinches the bridge of his nose, and you scoff. 

“He groped me at the bar!” 

“HE DID WHAT?!” Santiago roars, and you tremble to lean further back against the door. He slams down on the gas and whips the truck around back in the direction of the bar. “I’m going to fucking kill him!” 

“Baby,” you beg, “I’m pissed too, but if you go back there and kill him, you’ll go to prison, and you are way too pretty for prison.” The joke does nothing to lessen the tension, and he speeds down the road, blowing through stop signs and one red light. “Santiago,” you whimper, and he slows down his breathing erratic. “Santi, baby, please. Let’s just go home.” 

“I’ll drop you off,” he mumbles, and you let out a sharp no. “Querida, if I go home with you, I won’t be gentle. I need to go somewhere and calm the fuck down.” 

“Pull over,” his foot hits the break at the next red light, and you go flying forward, bracing your hands on the dashboard. 

“If I pull over, you won’t be able to walk for the next week,” his words aren’t a threat but a promise, and you feel the warmth between your thighs begin to bloom. 

“Pull the fuck over, Santiago.” He looks at you and nods before pulling off the main road and heading towards the woods. He drives for another fifteen minutes till the city’s lights begin to fade, and there is nothing but the coo of birds and the leaves rustling in the trees. 

The truck comes to a stop, and he gets out of the truck and stalks off into the trees, leaving you to scramble after him. He stops walking about twenty feet in and begins to pace before you hear him let out a loud curse and reach for you. You go to him instantly, and he slams your back against the nearest tree. His mouth going down to suck hard purple bruises into the flesh of your neck, you let out a whimper when you feel his teeth bite down hard, his hands kneading your ass and pushing you into his hard cock. 

“Motherfucker, tried to touch my woman,” he mumbles, and you gasp as he rips the front of your dress open and feasts upon your breasts. His teeth are grazing each of your erect nipples in his mouth, tugging them into the hot warmth of his mouth. Your hands entangle in his hair, and your head hits the back of the tree, panting. “I need to fuck you, can I fuck you?” You nod, eyes closed, and he freezes. His hand is coming to your chin and dragging you to look at him. “I need verbal consent, I’m pissed, Querida, but I’m not an animal.” 

“Yes, I want you to fuck me, Santiago. Erase any trace of that fucker on me, mark me up, I’m yours.” He growls and takes a handful of your panties before the fabric rips, and he tosses them over his shoulder. 

“Turn around,” he orders, and you listen facing the tree. His hands come over the swell of your ass and slap it a few times, the echo loud in the quiet forest. “Spread those thighs for me, let me see how wet this sweet cunt is for me.” You feel another gush of warmth between your legs, and you let out a scream as he impales you with three fingers, filing you so full of him it only takes a moment before your cumming. He continues pumping you through it, his teeth leaving bite marks all along your shoulders, marking you. 

When you feel the pleasure begin to fade, he slips out and sucks on his fingers; you turn and watch as he licks each one like a child trying to get all the chocolate off the spoon. “You taste so fucking good.” Both his hands come down on the sides of your ass, and he slaps them before kneading it roughly. You hear the sound of his belt coming apart and zipper lowering. The head of his cock pressing against your fluttering entrance. He runs it through your slick, and then you hear him lean down and spit into your cunt. 

“I’m not going to be gentle, Querida. If you want me to stop, you have to tell me now.” He wraps his hand around your hair and pulls your head back to look at him. 

“Wreck me, Santiago, fucking destroy me.” You moan as he shoves inside you to the hilt, his hand moving down to your neck and keeping you looking back at him. His cock is so thick and fills you better than any toy. His pace is punishing, and you feel his fingers dig into your hip so hard you are sure to be littered in bruises. The orgasm builds inside you again, and you struggle against the hand on your throat, his eyes black with lust. 

“I’m gonna cum,” you pant, and he smirks down at you. 

“I didn’t tell you, you could.” He brings his hand off your hip to furiously rub your clit, and you feel your eyes roll back into your head. “Are you going to cum on my cock Querida?” You mumble incoherently, and he lets out a dark chuckle. “Cum, now.” You scream into the night and clench around him tightly, but he never slows down. Your eyes brim with tears, and he releases your neck, and you fall forward, bracing yourself on the tree. The bark sharp against your palms. He uses both hands now and slams into you over and over again, your breasts bouncing in the chilly night air at how hard he is pounding into you. 

He wraps your hair around his hand and pulls you up against his chest, biting down hard on your shoulder and licking over it. He fucks up into you and comes down to rub your clit. Going between English and Spanish, he whispers the filthiest things to you, and you feel another orgasm building. “I can feel you tighten around me again. Are you going to cum Querida?” 

You nod, and he chuckles, “Beg me, beg me to let you cum and soak my cock.” 

“Please,” you whimper, “please let me soak your cock sir, I promise I’ll be a good girl.” 

“Fuck right; you’re my good little girl, cum Querida, soak me.” You scream out again as the waves of pleasure crash over you, and the white dots blind your vision. You clench around him, and he lets out a loud moan, never straying his fingers from your throbbing clit.

“On your knees,” he pulls out, and you drop instantly. “Open your mouth.” 

You open your mouth and present your tongue to him. He shoves his cock into your mouth and tightens his hands in your hair again. He devastates your mouth with the force of his thrusts, and you take everything he gives you without complaint. His hand comes to your nose and plugs it. He shoves his cock so far down your throat it hits the back. You gag, and the tears brim your eyes before he pulls out, and you gasp. Only giving you a second before he is fucking into you again. 

“Touch yourself,” he orders, and you reach between your legs and circle your clit in time with his thrusts. The crescendo of pleasure crashes into you and almost knocks you over. His hands come to your throat, and he cums with a groan down your throat. Cum, hot and thick, trailing down your throat, and you swallow every last drop. “Open your mouth, show me.” You do as he says, and he smiles down at you, “good girl.” 

Your knees buckle from the force of your orgasms, your cum pooling beneath you and sliding down your thighs. “Lay back,” he helps you fall gently to the forest floor, your torn dress acting as a barrier between your bare skin and the crunch of fallen leaves. He tucks his cock back into his jeans and drops between your legs spreading them. “Santi,” you groan, reaching for him, and he drops to his forearms in front of your displayed pussy. “What are you doing?” 

“I’m reminding you who owns this pussy.” His tongue licks a broad stroke through your folds, and he devours you like an alcoholic, and you’re top-shelf whiskey. He makes you cum two more times on his tongue until you are a shaking mess on the forest floor. Too tired to even stand, he closes your dress the best he can and lifts you into his arms. Your head is coming to lie in the crook of his neck as he walks you back to the truck. 

When he reaches your home, he scoops you up from the seat and chuckles at the mess you left on the leather interior, and carries you into the house. He opens the shower and turns on the water getting it warm. He strips you out of your clothes and his and lifts you into the shower. You whimper when the washcloth slides over your oversensitive folds, and he places a gentle kiss on your lips. “I’m sorry, love,” he whispers, and you shake off his apology. When done, he wraps you in a fluffy towel and carries you to bed; sliding under the cool sheets naked, he crawls in next to you, pulling you into his chest. 

“Are you outraged I broke Tom’s nose?” you whisper, and he holds you tighter. 

“No, fucker deserved it. I’m sorry I shouted at you. Why didn’t you tell me he touched you like that? I would have killed him.” 

You shake your head, “Because I don’t need you to fight all my battles for me. But I do need you to trust me, trust my judgment.” 

“I promise. I will never doubt you again.” You sigh and snuggle closer. 

“You better not. But if it leads to hot forest sex, I may be able to forgive you.” He laughs and kisses the top of your head. 

“Go to sleep Querida; I love you.” 

“Oh, Santi,” you yawn, “I love you more.”

Hi! I was wondering if you could write some headcanons for 1-As big three? Maybe like their S/O knows how to crochet and for their birthday makes them a stuffed animal as their gift and how they would react to it? Thanks so much! Love your work! And if you don’t have a 🧶 anon yet I’ll be them lmao - 🧶

Taglist — @transmantrash @rycbar-221b @tvwhoresblog @havlindzk @squeaky-ducky

I added Tamaki as well :)

Izuku -

Izuku wasn’t expecting any gifts on his birthday

Obviously, he knew it was his birthday and therefore he would get one from his mother at least

But still, he didn’t think that anyone at school remembered.

He didn’t even remember telling anyone his birthday, he didn’t like people freaking out over it and buying him big, extravagant, expressive things

But you had your ways of finding out, you had asked his mom when you realized way back in January that you didn’t know when his birthday was

So you’d stayed up the night before his birthday crocheting a little stuffed bunny for him

You walked into class with it hidden behind your back, but the smile of excitement on your face let him know something was up

“What are you hiding?” He said, smiling at you

You brought the bunny out to show him, saying “happy birthday” just a little too loudly. He didn’t seem to care about your volume, though

His eyes lit up and he gasped, he looked at the little animal, then up to you, “You made this?! For me?!”

“Yeah, of course!”

He will cry, don’t try and tell me he won’t

Then he’ll apologize for crying, hug you, and start thanking you to no end

He treasures that little bunny ok?

He sleeps with it, he keeps it in his school bag and holds it when he’s stressed or whenever you’re away

Bakugou -

You didn’t know what to get Bakugou for his birthday, he never really talked about things that he wanted

Other than being the number 1 hero, and you couldn’t get him that

But you had an idea, and so you spent your freetime trying to crochet Bakugou a little gift

It was a plushie version of him in his hero costume and you were quite pleased with how it had turned out

He walked into class a little later than you did, so you set the stuffed Ground Zero on his desk and waited

When he walked in, he immediately saw it and looked a little confused, but then he read the note beside it

If you didn’t know him better, you could have sworn he smiled

He looked up over at you, “uh...thanks or whatever”

He tries to pay you for it?? Like sir it’s a gift??

That was the day you learned this man has never received a gift in his life, maybe some from his parents but never from his friends

He claims he doesn’t like it all that much

But you have seen him holding it at night or whenever he’s feeling a little more stressed than usual

Kirishima sent you a video of him talking to it whenever you weren’t there one night

Do not mention that though because not only will he deny it, he will threaten to blast both you and Kirishima

Todoroki -

You knew that Todoroki had never really gotten many gifts

His dad wasn’t exactly great and it’s not like he went around telling people his birthday all the time

But you still wanted to do something for him, or at least get him something

You knew he always liked to watch your crochet, and so an idea was birthed

You made him a stuffed fox, it was cute and honestly you weren’t as displeased with it as you were expecting

You gave him the fox when you walked into class the next morning, smiling and telling him happy birthday as you did so

It takes him a whole ass minute to realize wtf is going on

Actually ask you if it’s for him and when you say yes you can see the tears whelling up in his eyes

“Thank you.” He says, and hugs you

You never really thought he’d be the one to have stuffed animals

But you would be wrong because he keeps them all on his bed but stashes then under his bed when people come to his room lmao

But the one that you made him has special privileges

It’s the only one that he actually holds onto while he sleeps

He might not admit it, but it has helped him through many a nightmare whenever you couldn’t be there

Amajiki -

Oh, my sweet babie boi

It was a known fact that anytime he receives any sort of affection, especially from you, he spontaneously combust on the spot

But, you still wanted to get him something for his birthday, and you knew just the thing

Though the legs were a tad bit tricky, but you had managed to crochet your boyfriend an octopus stuffed animal

You walked into class with it behind your back, trying to hide the excitement on your face, but he could tell you had something in your hands

He gave you a curious look, he didn’t even have to ask

Then, you showed him the octopus and told him happy birthday

This man is blushing so hard, everyone in the class is now looking at the two of you and gushing about how cool it is

He thinks it’s so cute!!

He smiles and thanks you profusely, but telling you that you didn’t need to give him anything for his birthday

He loves that little octopus, he squeezes it whenever he gets anxious and you are there

I can guarantee that he sleeps with it and talks to it sometimes

If anyone sees it him with it he dies of embarrassment but he wouldn’t have it any other way

[weebswrites]

Hello! I absolutely love your writing (´∀｀*) May I request head cannons of the demon brothers finding out that that the MC got into a relationship with a human in the time between the end of the exchange programme and returning to the Devildom?

The Demon Bros Finding out MC got a (Human) Boyfriend

Lucifer

• He’s ... surprised

• He thought you two really had a connection during your year in the Devildom, and regretted every day not making a move before you left

• So when you came back his heart felt like it was beating out of his chest

• But he wanted to make his move at the right time

• Belphie was teasing you and asked if you’d gotten a boyfriend since going back to the human world

• “Yeah, actually I did. His name’s [name] and we’ve been together for a few months now” you say, blushing at the thought of him while you take a drink of water

• “That’s our human!” Leviathan praises you from across the table, and the rest of the brothers all congratulated you in their own way too

• Except Lucifer. You noticed his gaze shift down to his food as he fell silent for the remainder of the dinner

• You try to talk to him later that night, but he just pushes you away

• “Luci please. Talk to me”

• “I can’t, MC” he pauses, running a hand through his hair, “Not anymore”

Mammon

• You walk through the door of the House of Lamentation and the first person you see is Mammon

• “Mammon!” you exclaim, and run towards him

• “Mah human! You’re back!” he yells back, taking you into his arms and spinning you around off the floor

• “How have you been! What’s new!” he asks, going to get your suitcase and bring it to your room (which they keep exactly as you leave it at all times)

• “Nothing really, but I uh, I got a boyfriend” you say, rocking back and forth on your feet as you break the news to him

• He laughs, “Ahaha! Funny one Y/N, but you’re just kidding, right?”

• “No, Mammon...I’m not”

• You see the sparkle in his eyes fade, and his hand falls from the handle of your bag

• “Oh...” is all he says, and you feel your heart drop. You had had feelings for Mammon, but when he didn’t do anything before you left you assumed you didn’t have a shot

• “Mammon...I’m sorry” is all you can manage to say, and you take your bag and walk to your room

Leviathan

• He’s been saving the most recent season of your favorite anime to watch with you

• So once you get back to the Devildom, he instantly steals you away from the rest of the brothers and locks the two of you in his room

• “Y/N! Can we watch the new season of [anime] together? I’ve been saving it to watch with you and I-”

• “Levi...I’m sorry, I already watched it with my boyfriend when the episodes aired”

• His smile drops, and suddenly everything makes sense. The way he’d always ask you to hang out despite being a self-proclaimed introvert. The way he’d play through games with you and the way he was always there for you to cry on when you and Belphie got into a fight

• You step forward to hug him, but he steps further back

• “No, it’s fine. I understand. You can go, I’m sorry I assumed we’d watch it together”

• He turns and sits on his bed as you slowly leave the room, closing the door quietly behind you

• He can’t bring himself to watch the anime ever again, and you fall asleep feeling an emptiness in your chest

Satan

• He tries to keep how excited he is to see you on the down-low, but considering you’d texted him every day you both knew how excited you were to see each other

• You have dinner with everyone, but the two of you end the night together in his room, sitting together and reading

• “I uh, got a boyfriend” you blurt out, knowing you had to tell him but not knowing how

• He puts his book down, a finger between the pages he was reading as a bookmark

• “Oh”

• You can hear the deflation in his voice, and your heart sinks lower in your chest than you ever thought was possible

• “Yeah...I didn’t know how to tell you”

• “Yeah...” he says, clearly thinking of what else to say, “Thanks for telling me”

• You just nod and look back down at your book, and the two of you read in a much more deafening silence than before

• A few minutes pass, and he speaks again. “I think I’m going to go to bed”. It’s a short and simple sentence, but you can hear how hurt he is in his voice

• “Okay. Let me know if you want to talk later” you say, squeezing his shoulder a bit before getting up and going back to your room

• You find yourself crying as you try to fall asleep, knowing you were happy with your boyfriend but feeling like you did something wrong with it not being Satan

Asmodeus

• You’re having a movie night with Asmodeus, Mammon, Leviathan, and Satan. You and Asmo were cuddling, and the rest of the brothers were sitting on the couch beside you

• “So human, anything fun happen in the human world or did you just miss us the whole time you were gone” Mammon teases

• “I got a boyfriend, actually. He’s really sweet” you say, glad Mammon brought it up so you didn’t have to

• You feel Asmo tense at your words, and you turn to face him

• He looks at you for a second, but quickly masks his shock with happiness for you. “Babe that’s amazing! Tell us everything” he says, but you can tell every word you speak will break his heart further and further

• You say a few vague things about him before insisting that Levi press play on the movie

• Asmo usually makes jokes quietly to you during movies, but this time he’s silent

• The two of you go to his room after and talk, but it’s awkward and you can tell he’s hurt

• You agree to hang out tomorrow and go through a beauty routine the two of you love, but you can tell he’s going to need some time before things go back to how they used to be

Beelzebub

• He didn’t realize that he had feelings for you until you were gushing about your new boyfriend as the two of you were snacking

• “He’s amazing Beel, he’s everything I’ve ever wanted”

• He’s confused about how he didn’t realize he loved you until it was too late, regret filling him as he searched for words to congratulate you

• “Y/N, I’m so happy for you. You deserve this happiness” he says, squeezing your hand for a second before returning to his snack

• “Thanks Beel” you say, scanning his face with your eyes, “Are we okay?”

• “Yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t we be” he responds, shock still setting in that he has feelings for you

• “I don’t know, I just wanted to make sure” you said, giving him a small smile

• The two of you talk late into the night, but you can’t help but shake the feeling that he’s upset about something

• Before going to bed for the night you look at him for a moment, “You alright Beel?”

• “Yeah. I’ll be alright” he whispers, smiling at you weakly, “Goodnight Y/N”

Belphegor

• He’s been in his room all day, so he doesn’t know that you’re back until you knock on his door with the secret knock only the two of you know

• “Y/N? Is that you?” he calls out, getting up and opening the door

• “Belphie!” you fly into his arms and he wraps his back around you

• You’re laying in bed together, catching up late into the night when you casually bring up your boyfriend

• “[Name], who’s that? A new friend?” Belphie asks, curious to who your friends are when you’re In the human world

• “He’s uh, he’s my boyfriend” you say, not sure how he’s going to take the news that you have a boyfriend

• “Oh, well if he breaks your heart I’ll kill him” he jokes, but you can tell he’s hurt

• “Haha, I’ll let him know” you joke, trying to lighten the mood back to where it was

• You continue talking, but fall asleep in your own bed instead of together like the two of you often did during your year in the Devildom

A/N: Hi! I’m back guys, sorry for the sudden absence 0.0 Things got crazy for a minute but I’m back now :) I hope you enjoy the headcannon anon, and sorry it took Literal months for me to get back with you <3

[righteousinadversity]

Hi , I am the anon who asked about the anti wangxian and anti lwj drama and let's just forget and ignore those people who do shitty takes like those.

I wanna know how you came to know about mxtx.

I discovered her in the most random ways that one can , it's really funny and I am really lucky for discovering her the way I did.

I saw an ad on YouTube about the tgcf's donghua trailer on a video which I skipped halfway , I didn't know what it was , but what I knew about it was that it was a Chinese anime , I don't know why but I picked up gay romance vibes from it , I don't know how I picked it up because I was a oblivious fool during that time when it came to picking up romance vibes from any piece of fiction or media and I didn't even see Hua Cheng in the trailer , nothing related to romance was in the trailer . I didn't know the show's name during that time , but I was quite curious about it , but during that time thought that I shouldn't watch it , since I never understood romance in fiction as well as in real life . This happened in my birthday month by the way .

One month later , I again saw a sneak peak of it on Netflix when it got recommended to me , but still decided not to watch it since I might not understand it . I knew though that it was not a cringey romance show which I hate , and thanks to those stuffy shows I hated romance as a genre and never understood anything about it.

Two months later after it's title card on Netflix kept staring at me and curiosity won me over , I decided to give it a chance and watched it , I am glad that my curiosity won me over that day and my intuition about the show came true cuz it didn't turned out to be those cringey romances and it was full of symbolism , trust , bonding , romance, adventure , oh I could rant and rant and will stop only after I don't have energy left.

The show won me over , Xie Lian and Hua Cheng took control over me and I could not stop gushing about it . After that , I discovered mxtx and then discovered mdzs and svsss.

One month later , I watched mdzs's season 1 and wondered how could the author write such perfect stories. There was not a lot of romance between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian , but it was enough for me to understand that they cared a lot about each other and that Lan Wangji had fallen in love in the Xuanwu Cave.

Fast forward to 2 months , I watched svsss and loved it , and started reading the novel , I loved it but still have some questionable thoughts about the romance . Everything else was perfect. OOC IS OOC became my new catchphrase and I say it most of the times.

Fast forward to October , I watched 21 episodes of the untamed because apparently everyone was recommending it to me , I didn't watched it completely and found it a little bit boring (might get hate 😝, the actors were great but it still felt boring) compared to the donghua's 1st season , it just wasn't doing it for me ( they introduced yin iron which I didn't liked at all and changed some things) , then I started reading mdzs and felt all different sort of things , it is the most perfect story I have ever read in my life , I can rant more and more and more and would never stop until I die because of not having proper food , water and sleep because of ranting.

Tgcf is the only one I haven't read yet , and will probably start after volume 2 of the novel releases , I can't wait to see what it has in store , I can't wait to feel a plethora of emotions.

I can't still believe that an oblivious fool and a romance hater experienced so many different emotions , mxtx changed me so much and I will forever be grateful to her . And the stupid thing is I still don't grasp romance because it is still written in such a shallow way when it comes to many works , but when it comes to mxtx's works everything is so deep and symbolic.

Mxtx changed the meaning of romance and so many things for me.

I will forever be grateful to YouTube and Netflix for letting me discover mxtx .

Heaven Official's Blessing was literally a blessing for me. Everyday I thank God for making me discover mxtx.

Sorry it got a bit too long and is a bit cliché but I can still rant more and more ,thanks for reading. 🤗

Feel free to rant, anon! I am glad that you discovered this lovely author!

I have restricted myself from reading either TGCF or SVSSS just yet because my academic life can't handle it. MDZS lives in my head rent-free.

How I discovered MXTX? Hm. Let's see. In the early Jan of 2020, I came across an untamed edit on youtube that was basically crack, but I was won over by WWX's smile and Wangxian's interaction. I think there was the scene where WWX goes on reciting the Lan rules to WC, and while I didn't understand the significance of it then, I was intrigued, and because I had time, then, I looked up the show and went to watch CQL.

Now, three episodes in is when I found out that it was an adaptation, and I went searching for the actual novel version because I have always preferred books over visual media. After finishing the novel, I loved and adored it, both WWX and LWJ stole my heart. Every theme it explored, from mob mentality to righteousness to power plays to resentment to staying true to your heart, was absolutely beautiful.

I didn't delve into any of the adaptations until like, April, because I had exams and stuff, but afterwards, I finished CQL and I didn't... find it as appealing. Honestly, I was in it for Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and that was it. I only started watching the donghua much, much later, binge-watching it during my winter break.

I am genuinely thankful for MDZS. It gave me life lessons that I aspire to live by.

"let the self judge the right and the wrong, let others decide to praise or to blame, let gains and losses remain uncommented on."

"You have to remember the things others do for you, not the things you do for others. Only when people don’t hold so much in their hearts would they finally feel free."

As MXTX said, I hope to be like Lan WangJi in virtue and Wei WuXian in character.

when the maknae line teases jiyu and sunwoo during the drive in concert

some diabetic sunji fluff hehe

➴ masterlist

➴ taglist: @banhmi07, @galacticstxrdust, @jiyeons-closet​

➴ requested by: a lovely anon 

“Jiyu, stop gawking so much, you’re making it so obvious,” San teased as he came up behind her and threw an arm over her shoulder.

She dramatically rolled her eyes as she wrapped the blanket around herself tighter, making her look like a burrito. “I can’t watch my boyfriend?” she quietly retorted.

“Ji, if we were in an anime or any cartoon, your eyes would he literal hearts,” Wooyoung chimed in before also throwing an arm over her shoulder and over San’s arm. “As adorable as it is, it’s also really weird to look at,” he playfully gagged.

Her’s and Wooyoung’s relationship had basically returned to how it first was before he confessed. While at first there were some awkward moments whenever Sunwoo was mentioned, they became more infrequent as time passed.

“Okay, I get it, you two. Now shush and let me admire my boyfriend in peace,” she hushed them before giving the eleven boys on stage her full attention again. “Darn, you really can’t see much from back here...” she pouted.

“Is she at it again?”

Turning around, she found Mingi and Jongho approaching them. Whilst Mingi sported a curious expression, Jongho’s was a mix of a smirk and mock disgust.

“She’s been standing here since they went on stage,” Wooyoung laughed. “Wrapped up like a burrito in her blanket, too.”

“Ahhh, the things you do for love,” Jongho teasingly mused.

Jiyu’s cheeks flushed red at their merciless comments. Wrapping the blanket around her body even tighter, she just wanted it to swallow her completely. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn’t realize Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang had come up, too. Oh my God, this is embarrassing, now I have mama Hwa and Hongjoong here, too?

“What’s going on over here? We were wondering where you guys went,” Hongjoong commented. “Jiyu, the stylist told me to remind you to go back before our performance so she can fix your makeup.”

“You’re going to have to drag her back yourself, hyung,” Yeosang smirked. “Look how her eyes literally sparkle from watching her boyfriend on stage, I doubt she’s going to move from this spot.”

She shot him a playful glare. “Can you blame me? I haven’t seen them perform live in almost half a year! Our schedules never matched up, so let me fangirl in peace.” She stuck her tongue out at him for an extra measure. 

A deep chuckle rumbled from Mingi. “She’s so cute,” he giggled before ruffling her hair. 

“See? Why can’t you guys be like Mingi?” she teasingly asked Wooyoung, San, Jongho, and Yeosang. “At least he lets me fangirl in peace.”

“Yah, are you sure you’re loyal to ATEEZ?” Hongjoong laughed. 

Pausing and dramatically rubbing her chin in thought, she playfully huffed. “With the way I’m being bullied here, I might as well quit ATEEZ and join The Boyz,” she joked with a straight face, but anyone could tell a smile was trying to break through with the way the corner of her lip was twitching.

Too caught up in their own laughter, the nine of them didn’t realize that the eleven boys had finished their performance and had overheard a snippet of their conversation. Sunwoo smirked before coming up behind her and placing his hand on top of her head. 

Jiyu flinched out of shock, the nine boys mirroring her expression. They hadn’t realized the eleven boys had finished. “What’s this about joining The Boyz?” he mused. 

“Is Jiyu joining us?” Q chirped in excitement as he took off the mic and mic pack. The smile slightly faded as he came to a realization. “Oh, wait, no if she joins us then they’re going to be joined at the hip all day, everyday.” He gestured to Sunwoo and Jiyu. 

The eight boys snickered. So they weren’t the only ones teasing the couple. 

“No we wouldn’t...” Sunwoo weakly denied, although anyone could tell he was lying with how flustered he sounded. 

“One lovebird is enough,” Eric joked, ignoring the glare from Sunwoo, “You can keep Jiyu.”

Jongho snorted at his friend’s jest while Jiyu rolled her eyes for what seemed like the millionth time that day. “You know, I was about to congratulate you for a job well done as MC and your performance, but never mind.”

Sunwoo let out a small gasp. “Where’s mine?” he asked, a small pout forming as he stared at her with puppy eyes. 

It took every ounce of her energy to not attack him with affection in front of everyone—he was like a little kid asking for a reward. “I-I mean-”

“She’s lost it, someone get my phone. I need to record it for some blackmail,” Yeosang said before looking away. “But maybe once my eyes recover from that.” In the background, San and Wooyoung were pretending to gag from the sight. 

An idea formed in Jiyu’s head, making her smirk. Pulling Sunwoo in for a hug, she squeezed him tight around his torso. “Aww, my baby did so good today!” she squealed, breaking out into full laughter when she heard the other boys groan and scream out of sheer horror and shock. 

“Sh-She called him baby!” San.

“Someone get Sunwoo some water, he looks like he’s about to pass out...” New.

“Now I’m just straight up blind.” Yeosang.

Hongjoong and Seonghwa just gaped at the affection Jiyu was showing. It was a sight to get used to...

Sunwoo, still dazed from her sudden attack, wrapped his arms around her neck and rested his chin on top of her head. “T-Thanks...” he shyly mumbled. “You’ll do great, too lovebug.”

“Can we turn back around?” Eric asked.

Looking around, she realized that all the boys had turned their backs turned towards them at some point. They casually looked around as if the couple weren’t there. Jiyu and Sunwoo chuckled. “Payback,” she stuck her tongue out towards Eric, “but yeah, go ahead.”

The boys sighed in relief when they turned back around and saw that they weren’t stuck to each other like koalas. “I’d rather take her punch then see that for payback,” Jongho mumbled as he rubbed his eyes. “That’s enough affection for the month.”

“But they’re so cute,” Yunho gushed as he laughed. 

Jiyu giggled. “This is why Yunho and Mingi are my favorite people.”

“Hey!” Groans of protests erupted from the other five boys at her comment while Sunwoo’s members laughed at their reactions. 

“...I’m your favorite, too right?” Looking up, Jiyu was once again soft when she took in Sunwoo’s pouting face. Glancing to see that no one was looking, she stood on her tip-toes and placed a small, butterfly kiss to on his cheeks.

To say it caught him off guard was an understatement. His stomach somersaulted at her kiss and he was pretty sure his cheeks resembled a tomato. “That so wasn’t fair.”

“You’re my number one favorite, don’t worry bub,” she giggled. Suddenly, she felt a pair of lips on her forehead, although the sensation left just as quick as it had came. Now it was her turn to blush as she buried her face in his chest.

Feeling her arms tighten around him and seeing her bury her face deeper into his chest, a warm and tingly sensation filled his stomach. She looked so small, and he was filled with an urge to protect her from everything horrible in the world. 

“Hey, Ji, you need to let him go. We need to go back for touchups,” Wooyoung chuckled. 

Slowly unwrapping her arms from him, she reached up and ruffled his hair. “Good job today, Woo,” she cooed before running off to catch up with San and Wooyoung who waited for her. 

Watching her run off, Sunwoo was thrown into a daze again. He was practically wrapped around her finger, and it was a strange yet fuzzy feeling. “You’re smiling too much. Tone it down before manager-nim gets suspicious,” Jacob teased before he was rushed away by the staff along with Kevin and Eric to change out of their performance outfits back into their normal MC outfits. 

Lightly slapping his cheeks and fanning his burning face, Sunwoo couldn't wipe the small grin off his face. “She really doesn’t know what she does to me.”

SEVENTEEN MASTERLIST

You, my dear reader, are in your afternoon music lesson. You tried your best to keep focus, however, it wasn’t going very well. 

So when your phone started buzzing in your pocket, that was when you completely lost focus.

Your phone screen lights up with many notifications, however, the ones that stood out were the ones from the ironically titled group chat: Oh God Why.

Mingyu: how does everyone feel about pizza?

Vernon: I could go for pizza

y/n: omg yes pls

Joshua: aren’t you meant to be in class y/n? 

y/n: don’t need to call me out like that, but yeah, I’m here 

Mingyu: So pizza after y/n’s class yes or no? 

Vernon, y/n: yes

Joshua: fine yes. y/nie, I’ll come pick you up after class

y/n: awe, thank you josh<3

Mingyu: simp

Joshua: STFU MINGYU

So you giggle to yourself as you read the exchange and you put your phone away in attempts to refocus. The idea of food and hanging out with your best friends at the forefront of your mind. 

Finally, your lesson came to an end and like he said he would be. Joshua was there, outside waiting for you to meet him. 

“So, how was class?” Joshua asks as you link your arm with his and you both make your way to his car. 

“It was something,” you laugh. 

It didn’t take you guys long to get to the small dinner that Mingyu demanded to go to. He mentioned how it sold authentic American style pizza. That no other pizza place could now compare. 

None of you bothered to fight him on it as it was just easier to go along with the giant puppies’ demands. Plus you all knew you wouldn’t be able to say no to him either. 

Once you got inside and were sat down, Mingyu and Vernon instantly went for the menu and began looking over it. However, you were fine just sitting there in the presence of everyone else. 

Looking over, you see Joshua already looking at you with a small smile on his face.

“What?” you asked, returning his smile.

“Nothing,” he responded, turning his attention away from you. “Guys, stop hogging the menus, let us have a look.” 

Ten minutes later, you’ve all ordered and are now sipping away at your drinks as you guys talk about your day. You laughed at the jokes Vernon said and how every time the door would open from the kitchen Mingyu’s head would be straight up and looking around like a meercat. 

However, what you didn’t notice was the fact how when you weren’t looking, Joshua would take the time to glance at you, smile and look away before you could notice. You were so engrossed in the conversation that you failed to notice the smile that never left his lips. 

So anyways, your pizza arrives and you guys slowly eat your food- well you slowly eat your food, the guys slowly and eating are never in the same sentence. 

So once you’ve finished up, you all split the bill and make your way out of the dinner. 

“Didn’t I tell you that place was great?” Mingyu gushes as he walks ahead of you with Vernon. 

“It wasn’t that bad,” Vernon laughs. 

You continue to smile as you watch the two boys before turning your attention towards your other best friend. 

“You okay?” you ask. “You’ve been kinda quiet tonight.” 

Joshua hums and shrugs his shoulders. He takes a moment to think before nodding his head.

“I’m good,” The smile never falls. 

OKAY so, flash forward. 

So it’s a Saturday, you don’t have lessons AND since you were good, you made sure to catch up on all of your work so you could have the weekend to chill and do nothing.

Absolutely nothing. 

You didn’t want to think, you didn’t want to move an inch out of your apartment. The only thing that would get you out of your apartment was if the building was on fire and even then, you’d have to think about it. 

So you queued up a drama on your tv and started on making a snack or two to keep you going and once that was all done, you made your way back to the living room and plopped yourself down on the couch with a blanket thrown over your lap. 

You were twenty minutes into the first episode when your phone buzzed. You ignored it, thinking that if it was important they’d call back later. So you forgot about it for another ten or so minutes until it buzzed again. 

Letting out a sigh, you pause the episode and lean over to grab your phone. 

Your screen was full of notifications. 

Some were random things from Twitter, others were from some random app you forgot you had on your phone, but the most recent ones were a string of text messages from Josh. 

Joshua: You busy? 

Joshua: You doing anything rn?

Joshua: you’re free right?

You whipped your hands on your blanket before you unlocked your phone and typed back a response. 

y/n: define free?

Joshua: As in you’re not out and doing something??

y/n: then yeah, I’m free

Joshua: YES okay, do you want to do something? I thought maybe we could go to the aquarium? 

You began to type out a message, before pressing backspace and deleting it all. You wanted to spend the day inside, but what was the worst that could happen? Plus, how could you ever say no to him?

y/n: yeah sure, meet me here in twenty?

Joshua: cool, for sure! 

Locking your phone once more, you turn off your tv and take your snacks back to the kitchen before you headed to your room to get changed. 

You put on a comfortable outfit and made sure to wear a jacket over the top as you knew it could sometimes get cold in the aquarium. So, by the time you were ready, a knock on your door didn’t come as much of a surprise. 

Opening it up, you smile at Josh and invite him in. 

“I’ll be one second, just gotta put my shoes on.” 

He nods and sits himself down on the couch as he waits for you to finish and when you come back out with a small bag, you pick up your keys, purse and phone before shoving them in. 

“You ready?” he asks causing you to nod in response. 

So he drives and you guys get to the aquarium in no time. 

Once you get inside and your tickets are brought, you start to make your way through. 

Josh laughs to himself every time you saw a new animal and ran over to them in awe. He tried his best to keep beside you, however, once something caught your eye, you were off again in a flash. 

He didn’t mind though, the look on your face and the pure joy that emanated from you was enough for him. Every little thing you did made him smile, every little thing you did made his heart jump around. 

It wasn’t until you guys got to the underwater tunnel and the sight of you looking all around you with the largest smile he thought he had ever seen you smile, did it dawn to him. 

He loves you. 

No matter how much his heart and brain fought, no matter how much he wanted to deny it- he couldn’t. Not now, not whilst looking at you like this. Not when the water was reflecting on you in a way that enhanced your already beautiful self. 

Mingyu and Vernon always joked that he was a simp for you and they were right. Not that Josh would ever tell them that, they didn’t need the ego boost. 

So as Josh followed you around the aquarium, he smiled. He laughed to himself and the more time you guys spent the more it cemented in his mind.

He was in love and there was nothing he could do about it. 

So flash forward an hour or two. 

He’s dropped you home and you’ve gone on and on about how fun the day was. How much fun it was going there with him and it makes his heart expand like five sizes. 

So after he drops you off, he heads back to his own apartment which he shares with Vernon and Mingyu. When he walks through the door, both boys are sat on the couch, playing the same game they were playing when Josh left. 

“How was your date?” Mingyu sniggers, he, however, doesn’t turn his attention away from the tv as Josh walks over and lets himself fall into the love sweet. 

“It wasn’t a date,” Josh responds before covering his face up with his hands.

“Is that why you looked so bummed?” Vernon asks. 

Josh uncovers his face and sends a look to the younger boy. Vernon, who just shrugs says nothing more. 

“I realised something today and I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing.” 

“Let me guess,” Mingyu pauses the game which causes Vernon to gasp. “You’ve finally realised your love for y/n and now you’re in a state of shock” 

Josh’s eyebrows furrow together as he slowly nods.

“How did you know?” 

Both of the younger boys sigh in defeat. 

“Because it’s obvious!” Vernon laughs. “You’ve been in love with them since what? The moment you guys saw each other?” 

“That’s not true,” Josh fakes a laugh as he looks down at his hands. 

“Yes, it is and don’t even try to deny it.” Mingyu states. 

“And so what you like y/n, what’s so bad about that?” Vernon asks causing Josh to shrug once again. 

“I don’t know, maybe I’m scared it’ll ruin our friendship.” 

“There is nothing in this world that could end your friendship, you know why?” Mingyu asks, but he doesn’t wait for Josh to respond. “Because your guys’ friendship transcends any other thing. You guys are practically soulmates, don’t hide your feelings because of the anxieties.” 

“He’s right,” Vernon speaks. “Let’s say you did confess and they didn’t feel the same way, that’s a whole lot better than sitting here wondering what could have been.” 

Josh lets out a breath of air and nods his head slowly. 

What the boys were saying was true. 

What was the worst that could happen? You could say no and that Vernon was right. At least you can move on from a no, how can you move on from the thoughts of a what if? 

Because what if he didn’t tell her and there was a day where he began to regret that decision? How could he live with himself if he never told you how much he truly loved you? 

Josh shot up from his chair and sent a look to the two younger boys. 

“I need to tell them,” 

Vernon and Mingyu look at each other before looking at Josh with wide eyes.

“Like right now?” Mingyu asks.

Josh nods.

“Of course, when else am I going to tell them?” 

Vernon laughs and claps his hands. 

“Go on, go do it! Tell them, dude.” 

“I’m doing it,” Josh said before walking out the door. 

He came back in a moment later and picked up his car keys. 

“I’m doing it now!” He said leaving once more. 

Mingyu and Vernon looked at each other once more before speaking. 

“He’s seriously going to do it,” 

They looked back at the tv.

“Another game?”

“Sure.” 

SO back to you!! 

Since you’ve gotten back, you’ve put back on your drama, you’ve got your snacks back out and reclaimed your position on the couch. You’ve finally finished the first episode and you’re only into the second one by a minute or two when the sound of knocking on your door causes you to jump in fright. 

“What is it now?” You mumble to yourself as you place the snacks on your coffee table and throw your blanket to the side. 

Going to the door and opening it up, you make a face to yourself in shock at the sight of Josh standing behind it. 

“Oh Josh hey, what’s up? It hasn’t even been an hour and a half, miss me that much?” You laughed at your own joke, but your smile dropped at how serious Josh was. “Are you ok-...” 

He cuts you off, and your mouth drops. 

“I love you.” 

“I love you too,” you giggle. “What’s up with you?” 

“No, I mean, I love you, I’m in love with you. I look at you and my heart swells and I wouldn’t want anything more than to call you mine.” 

You blink for a moment as your brain tries to catch up with the words Josh is saying. 

“I-I…” You try to speak, but nothing came out. 

Josh begins to frown and looks down. Maybe I shouldn’t have listened to them, he thought to himself. 

“I’m sorry, I shou-...” 

However, this time you were the one to cut him off.

“I love you too.”
