#there's about 100 of them and they all leave the lake during the day to get food i presume? and then they go back to the lake

[transvampireboyfriend]

if you ever feel unlucky, remember a time when you saw a bird. those things can fly. and they do fly! all around. they go to so many places at so many different times, but you were at the right place and the right time to see exactly that bird on that exact day. isn't that so fucking lucky?

THE ALTAR OF ADORATION ♥︎

recently i've been getting more and more into my zhongli brainrot (even though he's been one of my fav characters since forever lol) so here you all go!!

oh also tysm for over 1k notes, 100+ reblogs and 50 new followers!! you guys are the best <3 i really didn't expect that kind of support on my last post - turns out everyone likes some dragon men!! so i decided to write some more, here you lovelies go!!

-> you have been chosen as a sacrifice to the great geo lord rex lapis, during a period where everyone believed he was mad at mortals. scared for your life and trembling, you now realize there was another problem troubling lord morax.

reqs open ♡︎ | minors DNI

great lord rex lapis roamed the earths and heavens for centuries, ruling the land of geo and its people through the thick and thin. they were very devoted followers, obeying his every wish.

however, the height of his reign has long passed, and people simply stopped caring about their archon. until recently.

crops began to wither, mines dried out, contracts were getting broken left and right - rex lapis has had enough of their careless behavior. his people have disappointed him, and this was a sign of his fury. if something wasn't to change, he would abandon them completely.

the people of liyue decided to recommit to their religion, prepared to offer the geo lord a sacrifice of any kind, just so he'd once again bless them. you, even though born in a time where people lost their respect for the geo lord, have always been a devoted follower, praying to him each day and leaving flowers and beautiful crystals under his statue of the seven.

already being a believer of the geo archon, you were chosen as the ceremonial sacrifice.

while nobody knew where rex lapis resided, the site of the ceremony was chosen to be on mt. hulao. as the crowds of people gathered from all over liyue around the lake on the top of the mountain, you stood in front of them, shaking. while you were a follower of morax, you didn't feel it was right to die for the sins of your people.

"it's time to pay our sacrifise!" yelled one of the townsfolk, holding your wrist in an iron grip as he he slit your palm with a sharp knife. you screamed out in pain as maroon blood dripped down your hand. the man who slit your hand placed a valuable cor lapis stone in it, watching as the orange stone quickly became stained with your red blood.

you held your breath as they placed you on the highest point of the mountain and pushed you off, chanting morax's name over and over.

falling seemed to last centuries, even though it was just seconds. you waited and waited for your body to hit the ground, tightening your hold on the cor lapis and in your head praying:

"rex lapis, if you're here, if you hear my prayer, please, i beg you, save me!"

suddenly, your feel onto something, tightly closing your eyes. was this... death?

you open your eyes and realize this wasn't any kind of afterlife - in fact, you were very much still alive, spread on top of the back of a large dragon. your mortality was confirmed by the sharp pain you still felt in your left hand.

"..r-rex l-lapis..?"

the dragon stayed quiet as you clutched his mane, holding on to him for dear life. he only let you get down once you were inside a large cave, seeming like it wasn't a part of the human world - no, this had to be an adepti realm.

an uneducated mortal maybe wouldn't be certain just who was standing between them, but you knew oh so very well. his goldenish brown scales, the big, honey-colored eyes and the tail which ended in a mosaic of clouds all gave him away. standing before you was the geo archon, the adeptus who saved your life even though you were a peace offering.

he stayed quiet, removing you from his back like it was nothing and moving to a completely different side of the cave, laying down on the cold ground with his back turned to you.

he was in no mood to talk, you knew, but you had to thank him for saving your life.

"lord morax..?"

he grumbled in response, steam coming out of his large nostrils.

"i cinserely thank you for saving my life... i was supposed to be a mere sacrifise, yet you still showed me mercy.. i.. just, thank you so much.."

the second the word "sacrifise" leaves your lips rex lapis perks up, turning to you with frantic eyes. he grabs your hand to inspect the still slightly bleeding cut, tearing a piece of your skirt to wrap around your wound as a bandage. morax tightly ties it, then quickly moves from you.

"it should stop the bleeding," he grumbled low, never turning to look at you, almost as if he was completely uninterested, "i will bring you to the villege tomorrow, little mortal. now sleep. your body needs rest"

how could you rest after such a traumatic experience? after almost having your life, all your hopes and dreams, unfairly thorn from you?

"no, i.. i can't return! they will all know that i failed, that i wasn't the sacrifise they all needed to save liyue from your punishment!"

morax huffs, his tail hitting the ground with a loud thump.

"then you can tell them all that i do not wish for a sacrifise. spilling innocent human blood is not only unecessary but also completely repulsive to me."

your eyes widen as he says this, your body instinctively moving a little closer to him: "you.. do not wish for a sacrifise, my lord? then how should we repay you for our sins? how can we ever make you forgive us for losing our faith in you..?"

rex lapis growls lowly, his body tightening like he was in some kind of discomfort or pain.

"the lack of my blessing isn't for the reasons your kind believes," he growled, "i'm not upset at you humans. now sleep." you knew well that that was an order, and an order coming from an archon must always be obeyed. yet, you didn't, scooting closer to him.

"the only thing to be upset about is that they sent you as the offering. how unfair it is to send one of my most devoted followers to die for my amusement.."

you hold your breath, afraid that he was actually considering killing you.

"i've recieved all the little treasures you leave out for me and have heard your every word. you're a persistant little one, aren't you?" even though you couldn't see him, you could feel the smirk on his face.

the knowledge that he has seen and heard how you worship him makes your heart thump loudly in your chest, a pool of pride and flusterness swirling in your belly.

suddenly, morax smells the air sharply, then started writhing on the ground in pain, cursing out a deep yet broken"fuck..!".

"are you in pain, my lord? can i do something to help?" you ask eagerly, wishing to help your saviour.

"move away!" he roared, steam coming out of his mouth. "go to sleep and stop talking to me when i ask, mortal!"

you frigtenedly to as told, laying down on the ground and turning away from him, squeezing your eyes shut. suddenly, you hear little muffled whines and cries coming from him, which immediately makes you look at him again.

his large head is completely flushed red, his lungs heaving up and down quickly. he panted out short little puffs of air, his eyes bloodshot ready and his body trembling slightly. you didn't know what was wrong with him, he acted like some kind of a wild animal in a rut-

"lord morax, are you.. in a rut..?" it was a shameful question to ask the archon, yet your curiosity got the better of you.

he huffed out, more and more in pain with every passing minute. "i haven't... hah... i haven't been in centuries... it's inevitable i go through it every couple of hundred years..."

morax groans, visibly in a lot of discomfort.

"and of course that when i'm in a rut they just have to send me a gorgeous woman as a sacrifice to worsen my state..."

your cheeks darken as he murmurs this, blood rushing to your head.

"how do i worsen your state..?"

"your arousal" he rasps, "i can smell it, little mortal. i can smell you, and it's torture. it pains every muscle in my body to resist you, but i have to; it's my duty"

your heart aches at his words.

"i can help" you breathe, unsure what you were even offering. his sharp eyes turn to you, piercing you with his gaze.

"no", his answer is short but stern, "i could kill you, i could harm you and leave you not remembering your own name. i cannot do that to my most devoted follower. not to you, y/n"

your heart stops, dropping to your feet.

"how do you know my name...?"

he groans as he explains: "i often wander around the mortal world in my human form, to feel closer to your kind... i have met you a couple of times during your prayer at the statue of the seven. i cannot use your pure body to breed when i know how much respect and hope you have in me. it would be betrayal to you, and you would never see me, nor my human form, the same"

"it pains me to see my archon in pain" you whisper as you get closer to the large dragon, your stomach stirring. you gently touch the scales down his back and feel how he shivers under your touches.

"i want... i want to help you, if i can... i want to help you through this.. you have helped me through the darkest points in my life, and even though i don't know who your human form is, i have a feeling i'm close to you even then... i just desire to help you, lord morax..."

"do you even understand what kind of help i need? what i will do to you if you allow me?"

you smile, running your hands through his shiny mane.

"yes, i understand. use me however you like, my lord."

his self control snaps, big paws pinning you down on the ground. he's panting like a dog as he nuzzles his head against your neck, tearing the rest of your skirt off. only left in a pair of underwear and a thin shirt, you tremble under the archon's touches.

"hm.. such a beautiful mortal..." he hums as he tears the rest of your cloth from your body, leaving you completely bare. you try to cover yourself with your arms, yet morax grabs them and pins them by your sides.

his large mouth comes in contact with your skin, licking, kissing and biting as he moved down. morax grazes your skin with his teeth, never biting down hard enough to draw blood from your veins. you had already done your sacrifice, more blood wasn't needed. his tounge moves from your neck to your exposed breast, swirling around your hard nipples, earning a little whimper from you.

then, he moves even lower, nipping at your stomach. he forces your tighs apart, burying his large head to your folds and forcing you to hold on to him by his horns. rex lapis tastes you eagerly, lapping up any slick your body oh so willingly gave him. you moaned and whined as he fucked you with his tounge, making you come almost instantly.

"ohhhh!! m-morax~ ahh..." you moan as he helps you through it, sharply tugging on your sensitive clit with his sharp teeth, always careful not to hurt you.

"celestia" he sighs into your slick folds, earning a tremble from you. "you taste devine, my dear. i haven't enjoyed such a sweet taste in centuries"

he shows you no mercy and continues to eat you out as if you were his last meal, one paw holding down your wrists and the other secured on your hips, not allowing you to move at all. after about three delicious highs he pulls from your frail body with his tounge, you start begging for the real thing. you knew his rut wouldn't be over unless he fucked you, and you were kinda hoping this torterous foreplay would be over soon...

"m-morax... please.." you whimper, squeezing your legs around his snout. he grumbles low, giving one final lick to your greedy pussy.

"i have to loosen you as much as possible so you could even try to take me. preperations can take up to days."

your eyes open wide and your mouth partens. you couldn't wait days to get him to fuck you, and you certainly didn't know how you'd survive days worth of eating out!

"but i cannot wait that long" he smirks, rubbing your outter tighs and ass. in one swift motion he flips you over so you were on your knees, face down and ass up. you feel his length rubbing up on you; even though you couldn't see him, your eyes went wide in shock. you felt how impossibly large he was, both in size and girth, almost being comparable to your legs.

but another thing surprises you - the head of his cock is poking at your tight entrance, but another thing is poking at your ass! you turn your head in shock, and he reassures you.

"i am different than a mortal, my dear"

you let out a loud scream of his name as he harshly thrusts both of his heavy cocks into you. he thrusts as far as he can, entering your cushy womb from how big he is and almost ripping your ass apart. you scream and cry and writhe yet he doesn't budge, letting you get used to him inside you for a few moments before he starts thrusting.

he starts moving without a warning, dragging you back on his cocks. you turn into a sobbing mess as each one of his thrusts so pleasantly tease your g-spot, bullying your tight walls.

"ahh.. ahhh! mphhh! mmphshs! m- mor... ah! ohhh!"

you cry and cry, not even knowing your own name out of so much pleasure. you feel like your holes are completely loose and yet, clamping down on him greedily. he tugs your head back by your hair, snuggling his nuzzle in your neck so you'd hear him better.

"shh, don't cry... you've asked me for this, little mortal. you asked to be fucked like this, hm? look at you, so pretty like this. so no need to cry, you will be fine. i allow you as much pleasure as you need. "

you couldn't stop yourself from coming, squirting your juices all over his cock. he watches this in amusement, fucking into you harder and faster. in one moment, he threw his head back in pleasure, making a loud roar.

"fuck, y/n..." he groaned as you hiccupped your sobs, finally giving a harsh, last thrust and stilling inside. you felt an impossible amount of warmth spread through your body as he filled you with seed, spilling a wave after wave of cum in your womb. he had filled you so much that it spilled from you, leaving you entirely breathless.

as soon as he's done he pulls out, letting you fall to the floor. he picks up your limp body, curling himself around you and cuddling you close.

"it's alright, my dear... you did perfect. you were just devine, and you've felt better than anything i've ever felt in all my years. rest, now. i will take care of the rest tomorrow."

your head hazy, your mind fuzzy with pleasure and your eyes heavy, you lay curled against him and finally get the much needed sleep.

the next morning, you wake up with a human, veined arm around your bare waist.

"there you are... you are too adorable in your sleep" a deep voice said from behind you, and you turned around, expecting to see the geo archon.

yet, you were faced with a man you knew all to well - the man you had deep feelings for ever since he first arrived in liyue harbour.

"mr. zhongli?!"

he hums out a laugh, tightening his hold on you.

"yes, if i'm correct, we've met in my human form a couple of times?"

you blush deeply, reminiscing on the few blissful times you talked to him. he was a very handsome, successful young man, with great wisdom and a clever mind - and you admired him very much, so much that you couldn't help but fall in love.

"you look dissapointed... are you not fond of me after finding out who i am?"

he asks, his gaze softening and looking almost saddened. you quickly reassure him:

"no, no, i'm not dissapointed! more like stunned.." you blush and he notices, twirling a strand of your hair between his fingers.

"oh? why is that? i have always assumed we had a fairly good relationship, y/n. you have always been so nice to me"

"i.. i've had feelings for you for quite a while..." you say shyly, almost embarassed of the fact.

his lips curl into a genuinely happy smile, his arms pressing you closer to his bare chest.

"then everything turned out alright"

you smile, but everything suddenly dawns on you - that zhongli seemed to be okay with your feelings for him, that you almost died yesterday as a sacrifice, that zhongli is morax and most importantly, that oh, you fucked the geo archon, in his dragon form no less!

"am i pregnant now..?" you ask quietly, reminded that the act of a rut is mainly to breed and create off-spring. zhongli laughs at your question, leaving a quick peck on your forehead.

"no, most likely not. but you will be, in a few hundred years, once i have to go through this all over again" you almost choke on your own spit as he says this.

"but... i won't be alive in a few hundred years... you will have to find another to help you through this.."

as soon as you mention him sleeping with another woman his face turns into one of disgust, his strong arms gathering your entire body in his hold.

"as my mate, you will live as long as i do, and i'm immortal, my dear."

"your mate?!"

"yes. by helping me through my rut, you have become my mate. of course, only if that's what you wish" he says, pressing a loving kiss to your eyelid. "and do not worry, my dear, dragons mate for life"

he almost purrs into your warm skin, making a referance to what you said about him sleeping with another woman.

"...being your mate.." you sigh, cuddling into his chest.

"it's like what you humans call "relationship" except a stronger bond, sort of an unbreakable contract between the two of us. a forever promise of care, love and loyalty."

"i think i would like that" you humm into his chest, "but, let's take it a little slow?"

he kisses you full of warmth, his hands soothing your sides.

"of course, my dear. i will take you on a proper date when we get back. for now, just lay there and let me thank you properly for your help last evening..." he sighs as he kisses your shoulder over and over again.

yesterday at this time of day you were supposed to be nothing but a sacrifice to the geo lord, and now here you were, getting your body worshiped by him, forever safe and secure in his arms as his mate.

Hi, Dove! Could you, please, write some Todd Anderson fluff? ♥ Maybe something about sunshine!female reader, she's also kinda shy, but not quite like Todd. She's really academically gifted, writes poems, but is unsure of herself. They know each other from school, but have never really spoken before, and then they accidentally run into each other during free period at the woods (where they like to spend some time alone and just read or write) and they bond.

It doesn't have to be about this, just any Todd fluff would be great! There is not enough dps content out here

𖤓She’s like being bathed in sunlight𖤓

I LOVED THIS REQUEST!!!! it was perfect. I loved Todd so much and I find him so relatable. This type of reader is my favourite to write aswell!!! Please send more Dps requests people I love them! Hope you enjoy <3

Note: Thank you so much for 100 followers ♥️😘🥰

Welton had recently allowed girls to attend and your parents being the stuck up people they are, wanted their daughter to attend the best school possible. It hadn’t been so bad, you had made a few friends with the other girls who had started attending and some of the boys who you found the most tolerable. You found making friends hard at the best of times but being somewhere like Welton made it that much harder.

You found your favourite lesson to be English and it wasn’t necessarily because of the subject but more so the teacher. Mr keating managed to make even the most boring parts of the curriculum exciting. Before him you found poetry to be a wasted subject on yourself yet mr keating had turned you into a poet. He brought the writer out of you and showed you just how fun it could be. A subject you used to hate had turned into a hobby of yours, you found yourself writing down poetry and inspiration for poems all the time. Your poems had recently taken a more romantic turn as you had found a muse.

It started when mr keating drew the whole classes attention to a boy who sat in the top corner of the class, usually just out of sight from you, blocked by many students heads. He had encouraged the boy to read aloud a poem from the top of his head. You had never taken note of him before yet him and his poem entranced you. It tugged a core deep inside you that ‘the truth is a blanket that always left your feet cold’. He became the subject from all your poems then on. You always kept your feelings to your self in your notebook, never being sure of yourself enough to ever act on your feelings.

You didn’t know much about him apart from that he hung out with Neil, someone you spoke to occasionally to compare homework answers with. You wrote about how he made you feel. Your favourite spot to write poetry was just on the outskirts of the woods. There was a big willow tree back from the edge of the lake that provided shelter from direct sun yet still allowed it to feel like a summers day. You sat down in your usual spot and let your eyes rest on the moving water to think of your next poem.

Unbeknownst to you todd had knew about you since your first day of attendance. How could he not notice you, you were like a sunray leaving warmth and happiness everywhere you went. He admired you from afar and noticed how many people were attracted to your presence like people wanted to bathe in your light. What really caught his eye though was your smile. He had never seen one as bright and beautiful as yours.

His friends had quickly caught on to his gazing at you and they teased him relentlessly. They made sure to encourage him to speak to you aswell but Todd could never do that. He couldn’t, you were well.. you. You would never go for someone like him. So instead he wrote his feelings into his notebook and carried it everywhere for when inspiration may strike.

His favourite spot to write poetry was down by the lake. There was a tree on the edge of the wood line just set back from the water. He found no one disturbed him there and he could let his mind wander.

Today was like any other Saturday for you. You were heading down to your spot to write some poetry yet when you wandered towards the tree you noticed a figure already sitting in your spot. You froze with slight shock, no one ever came down here. You slowly stepped towards the tree, curious as to who had found your spot. You found no other than your muse. You stepped backwards to try and turn away before he could see you, you weren’t ready to face him yet. However you stepped on a branch which made quite a loud crack for its size. You cursed whoever wasn’t on your side today as you knew todd was now looking at you. You quickly threw on your best smile and reapproached him, trying to ignore how fast your heart was beating and how your palms clammed up. He looked like a deer caught in headlights which slightly calmed your nerves, you didn’t want him to feel like that around you. To try and calm both your nerves you tried to break the tension that built by greeting him “I hope I’m not interrupting the sweaty toothed madman’s writing but this is usually where I write as well. Do you mind if I join you?”. You regretted your attempt at humour and cringed internally yet Todd didn’t seem to notice still a bit frozen in place, he just about mustered a nod and with that you tentatively sat down next to him. For awhile you sat together in silence until you turned to him with a rush of adrenaline to try to get to know him. He was hesitant to talk and mumbled and tripped over his words but you were patient and never interrupted him. You listened to everything he had to say and Todd was grateful for it even if he couldn’t say it out loud. You spoke about poems and your favourite poets. You enjoyed his company and he enjoyed yours, he could feel himself relaxing around you something that was rare for him to do at Welton. You parted ways when it grew darker and he found himself craving your presence. You both longed to see each other again yet didn’t know if it would ever occur again, both still too afraid to make the move.

However when the next Saturday rolled around and you approached your spot again to find a figure already there you knew you wouldn’t ever have to worry about missing Todd’s presence again.

Yet as many Saturdays passed and you grew closer, neither of you realised the love you both shared for each other. As you both sat under the tree writing poetry about your muses who were sat right next to each other, you both remained clueless and would do for many more Saturdays until you finally read your poetry aloud to each other and discovered many similarities in the muses of the poems.

Thank you for reading! <3

THEY KEEP ON ASKING ME, “WHO IS HE?”

Chat won’t stop asking, despite how many times you try to steer the topic at hand to something else. Their opinions on your current Animal Crossing build? Ignored. If you should crochet a cardigan or bucket hat for your cat? Little to no responses. Lavender latte or milk tea for Drink of the Day? Lavender latte wins, but Chat immediately goes back to your hidden boyfriend.

This is what you get for forgetting to mute your mic. You had a whole phone call about dinner before realizing your mistake, and now everyone knows that wholesome, cozy Twitch streamer lightberry swears like a sailor when discussing pork katsu and calls a special someone “baby.” It’s been clipped already, you just know. At least you didn’t put him on speaker.

“‘100 subs if you tell us his name?’” you read. You'll indulge them because indulging Chat makes for good content. “I’ll tell you literally anything else.”

If you told them his name, you would end up trending on Twitter.

“‘Is he also a gamer?’ Yeah. Mostly League, Genshin, Apex. He’s been trying to get into Valorant. Now, 100 subs, please.”

Felix, otherwise known as LixInABox, is a gamer and streaming personality who has nearly a million subs on Twitch. He has a partner, an elusive figure exclusively referred to as “My Partner.” There are rumors that My Partner (MP) doesn’t actually exist and that they’re a cover for his singleness.

“‘20 subs if you tell us his rank?’ Sure. He's pretty high in everything. I can’t ever duo with him, except in Genshin.”

When he started streaming, he was primarily known for his League of Legends skills. Low Masters on a good day, Diamond 3 on the bad ones.

“‘Show us a picture.’ You know what, I’ll do that for free.”

Chat is not happy when you pull up a photo of Marshal from Animal Crossing. To be fair, he does resemble Felix a little.

While they continue to pester you about his identity, you continue terraforming your butterfly-shaped lake. When Marshal walks by with a sandwich, you make sure to point him out.

“There’s my boyfriend,” you say as you glance at the chat, which is scrolling by so quickly, your eyes can barely keep up.

IT’S LIX

MP MP MP MP

LIXBERRY

You’ve got a ship name already? How did they figure it out? Did Felix reach a million subs? He joked that he would reveal who MP was once he hit a million, and you sort of gave him the green light, but surely he would tell you beforehand? You sit motionless at your chair and try to come up with a solution that doesn’t involve straight up lying.

LIXBERRY LIXBERRY

MP IS REAL

HE’S LIVE

It doesn’t matter what you do. By doing nothing, you’ve confirmed it, so you go back to how it all started—you call Felix, live on stream. You leave your mic unmuted intentionally this time.

“Hey, what did you do?” are your first words. You have his stream up as well, so you see the blush on his face. “You’re live on mine, by the way.”

“I didn’t do anything! They figured it out! I mentioned that I was gonna have pork katsu for dinner, and like five minutes later, they connected it back to you. What did you do?”

“I forgot to mute during our call,” you admit. “And I also gave them hints in exchange for subs, but I didn’t think they were anything obvious.”

He looks at his chat and laughs. “You basically told them what I’m famous for. And a picture of Marshal? No wonder.”

“My bad. See you at dinner?”

He smiles, and you can’t help but do the same. “Yeah. Love you.”

“Love you, too, baby.”

Chat explodes. You and Felix will never live this down, but it feels better than you thought. And you really don’t want to admit it, but lixberry is really, really cute.

HE’S THE ONE THAT’S LIVING IN MY SYSTEM, BABY.

[katz-rambles]

I've been sick lately so I got too thinking.. how would the current ghouls and ghoulettes treat their S/O who's sick.

(headcannons, gn!reader, fluff/comfort(?), mentions of puking, mentions of being naked but no sex, I think this is it!)

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰

• He's going to make fun of you. A ghouls immune system is so much stronger than a humans. So he won't really understand what to do, but he gets an A for effort.

Dewdrop/Sodo

• You may have to straight up tell him what to do. He probably won't listen if you aren't right out with it.

• Though, when he does understand what he has to do, he is right by your side the whole time. He won't let you out of his sight. What if you suddenly feel worse and he's not there to sooth you?

• He gets a little (lot) protective over you. You're in a vulnerable state. Someone could hurt you. :(

• If you have the chills or are just cold, he will use his element to help you warm up. Just cuddle with him for a bit, and you'll start to feel better in no time.

• If you're worried about him getting sick, there's a high chance he'll laugh at you. He's a ghoul, baby. He won't get sick that easy. You don't have to worry about him.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• He's the type of guy to make you chicken noodles soup when you're sick. Such a sweetheart.

Rain

• He will help you with anything and everything. You have chores to do, he's on it. You need something from the store, sweetheart, he's already there. You just need your meds, he's got them and a glass of water plus some food for you to have with it.

• He's so helpful and so so sweet. He's got everything you may need. A damp cloth if you have a fever, a blanket if you have chills (and himself, of course), a bucket just in case, any type of meds you may need. He loves you and wants you to get better as soon as possible.

• Please cuddle with him so he knows you're not going anywhere. He fears that, because you're a human, you may get worse, and he's practically terrified at the thought of losing you.

• He may read to you if you ask nicely, especially if you like classic literature, then he may be persuaded. (I fucking love classic literature so now everyone had to suffer because of it.)

• He will also take you to the lake during the day when it's warm. You can relax in the water and get some sun, it's a win-win.

• All together, Rain is a sweetheart and will do anything and everything in his power to make sure you have a speedy and smooth recovery.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• Sweetheart 2.0

Phantom

• He makes sure you're doing okay, and his way of doing this is not leaving your side. He basically makes sure you don't leave until you're all better again, even if you do just have a common cold.

• Will put on a movie/show and cuddle with you to try and help you feel better.

• He may even play his guitar when he's with you. Just rest and let him play (show off).

• If you end up puking he's the type of guy to pull you hair back (if it's long enough) and rub your back while telling you it's all going to be okay and you'll start to feel better soon.

• He almost likes knowing that you can get sick. It reminds him that you're a human and that no matter what, you always will be. He loves that about you, even if you're sick. He rarely ever gets sick, so it comforts him knowing that you do.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• Will 100% take you for a walk in the garden while he picks herbs to make a tea that will boost your immunity and help you recover faster.

Mountain

• He will also cook for you. He's amazing at it, and maybe one day he'll teach you his secrets.

• Will also take you to sit out in the sun with him, you need your vitamins after all, and what better way to get them than to cuddle in the sun with him?

• Another guy who helps you out if you have to puke, he will even help you clean up after. Don't worry if it's gross. It's natural for humans to get sick like this. He understands and wants to help you with it. He can also, if you're okay with it, of course, because consent is key, bathe you. He doesn't want anything sexual to come from it, just you two spending some time together.

• He encourages you to nap/sleep more. You need your rest! He also just likes to nap with you, but that's not the point.

• And don't worry about your chores or anything. He's already spoken to Copia about your condition, so you have as much time as you'll need to recover.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• He's also going to make fun of you. But, considering it's Swiss, we should already know this.

Swiss

• He's going to make sure to check in on you. He won't be there by your side all the time, but he's there most of it.

• He makes sure to bring fun little games, bored games, cards, and anything else you may want to help you feel better.

• He gets Mountain to help him make a tea or something since he has no idea what to do. He can cook, kinda, but it's the idea that counts. He's trying his hardest for you.

• If you catch him searching up your symptoms on Google and then cuddling you and not leaving your side... no, you didn't.

• All together, he will be amazing towards you. Although there may be occasional teasing, he cares so much about you, you have him whipped for you.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• She's one of the best people to be sick with (second to rain, but I'm very biased towards him), she will make sure everything is okay for you.

Cirrius

• No hesitation on pulling your hair back and rubbing your back, holding you close to her. She doesn't give two fucks about if it's gross or not, as long as you're okay, nothing else matters. She will also bathe you. She likes pampering you, whether you're sick or not.

• Big on getting sun while you're sick, she will also give you those vitamins gummies to help your immune system. If you're up for it, you two will sun bathe. Just you two and the sun, a relaxing afternoon to help take your mind off your current state.

• She will help you with your chores, but she also believes in exercise while you're sick to help your body, even if it's just doing your chores.

• Lots of sleeping with her, she's so comfortable. She also loves to just hold you close to her so she knows you're doing okay, so if you're sick and she suddenly pulls you away for a cuddle session, don't be surprised.

• Will do night in with you when you're sick, except they're modified. So you two will have soup and movies while doing facemasks and makeovers with you. She's so sweet, she loves you.

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• She will probably know you're sick before you know you're sick. She can just sense it.

Cumulus

• But when you do actually get sick and know it, she's got you. Damp cloth, bucket, soup, blanket, ice packs, she has it all.

• She's an amazing cook, like better than Mountain, and she knows how to make practically anything.

• If you want to get out and get some fresh air, she's all for it. You two could be out getting groceries or just out in the forest relaxing in the cool grass. She loves being outside, and if you feel good enough, you bet most of your time will be spent outdoors.

• I feel like she's a big cat lover, so you two will be down at a cat cafe or just hanging out with strays around the church. You both get to be outside, and you get to see a bunch of cute cats, win-win!

• Please watch movies with her, she knows you need some rest and relaxing time, and what better way to relax than to watch some movies with her?

˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚˚₊

• She's very helpful, like Swiss she won't always be by your side, but she's there enough that you know she cares about you and wants to make sure you're doing okay.

Aurora

• She will 100% bring you outside to relax, right in the grass. The sun on you both and the cool grass underneath. It's perfect, and she can't think of a better way to help you get better than relaxing.

• If you want to do something, she's down for it, but she won't let you be out too long when you're sick. She doesn't want you to get worse just when you're starting to feel better.

• But don't you worry, she has plenty of ways that she can help you feel better. Most of these consist of sleeping and relaxing. But that's okay, you need it.

• She will do arts and crafts with you. It may sound childish, but you're sick and don't really want to do anything, so what better way to do something that's not too hard than arts and crafts. Glitter jars, painting, bracelet making, making a time capsule. She's down for it.

• Please let her pamper you. She needs to do it, it'll help you feel better because you won't have to do anything. She has everything taken care of, your chores, your nausea, fever, chills, and everything is taken care of.

[dooblebugss]

as requested, I wrote up some of my more...not-nice headcanons. Content Warning for suicide idealation, injury, and food issues

Hornet:

I've mentioned before that she has some issues with food. Thanks to surviving in the apocalypse she has some issues with just...not eating. And when she does, she will cut her portion to give to others. She's the Protector, and as protector, her needs come last. (During the height of the infection she went days without eating and is fully ready to do it again if she feels she needs to.)

Speaking of her title as Protector, it's self appointed but comes with a ton of self-imposed expectations. She's a bundle of anxiety and fear and worry that something will happen to her siblings, her sort-of friends, and Dirtmouth. Honestly, you should go read "Etching of Storms Weathered" on ao3, it's perfect and beautiful

She hates how much she resembles the Pale King and not Herrah. She doesn't think highly of her appearance. She thinks herself kinda ugly tbh. Hornet tries not to let it bother her, but she's just as susceptible to self esteem issues

Hornet honestly thought that Tiso and Cloth were going to die. She treated them kinda poorly because of it, not wanting to bother getting attached to "fools with a death wish who regret their decision". Something she regrets, but isn't sure how to apologize.

Quirrel:

He came very, very close to just walking into the Blue Lake. He doesn't like talking about it.

As much as he loves the Archive, sometimes he has a hard time dealing with just...all of his coworkers and Teacher being dead. Sometimes he'll find bits and pieces written by Monomon, and it's always a little rough.

His amnesia is not fun to deal with. A good chunk of his life is just...not there. He's surprised when his age catches up to him, because he doesn't feel it until it happens

Hornet was too young to remember, but Quirrel does remember what the Kingdom looked like in its heyday, and it depresses him. He knows it was flawed and broken, but the memories always look better in his mind.

Tiso:

Phantom pains :))))) on bad days he can't even get out of bed. The brooding mawlek crushed all of him, but especially his left side. Some days it still feels like he can't breath right

He genuinely does not understand why Ghost saved him, and it kind of eats at him. Tiso was kind of a total dick, and he doesn't understand what Ghost saw in him.

Part of him is a little afraid to make new friends, after the death of his first ever friend (the one who he turned into a shield). He tries to push bugs away by being an asshole.

MAJOR inferiority complex. He wants to make a name for himself and stand above the crowd so so bad. He wants to be more than just 'a worker ant', and its why he went to the colosseum.

Cloth:

Phantom pains 2!!!!!!! Being literally skewered and all. On bad days she might literally cough up blood

She was 100% ready to die to Traitor Lord. However very close to the end she realized that would leave Ghost all alone, and she didn't want that. (Of course by the time she came to this conclusion, she got stabbed)

She misses Nola terribly. So much so she was willing to die to see her. Sometimes, when things are rough mentally, Cloth honestly considers it again...if only for a moment.

Hollow:

PHANTOM PAIN 3!!!!! Hollow was so monumentally fucked by their time in the Temple and with the Radiance. Vessels are sturdy, but it took Hollow nearly a month to recover even slightly. Hollow had a terrible crack in their mask (leaving them blind in their right eye), they were missing an arm, and a good portion of their abdomen had been caved in.

Hollow struggles with...a lot. Mentally. The lie they had to swallow for years about being a Pure Vessel, wanting to make their Father proud, wanting to save everyone and failing...it's a lot. And Hollow hates themself for it.

Hollow remembers Ghost as the little vessel they abandoned at the top of the Abyss...and they feel immense Guilt for it. Ghost seemingly has no hard feelings, but that only makes the guilt feel worse.

When especially upset - or when something might 'trigger' the behavior - they will instinctively revert back to how they used to act as the Pure Vessel: emotionless and needing commands to do anything. They might also fall back on old 'programming' the King gave them

[cozzzynook]

Last part of TFA insecticon Bee because he deserves a happy ending :)

That night was peaceful, the stars shone brightly while the moon glowed blanking the forest in its gentle glow. Prowl stood nervously at the lake's edge watching as fish swam by un bothered by the sleek mech. Despite not getting a verbal answer from Bee eariler in the day the yellow mech did send him a comm ping saying he would be here, he hoped what ever was keeping Bumblebee busy wasn't too important. Softly humming Prowl sat down on the grass and closed his optics hoping a quick meditation would calm his nerves.

It had only been a few klicks when the sound of second pede steps were heard. Leaping to his own pedes Prowl scanned the tree line quickly spotting the familiar shade of yellow out from the dark shades of brown and green. Instead of a giddy smile or smirk on Bee's face there was a frown with a hint of guilt and fear in the mechs optics. Prowl's spark quickly tightened with worry as he took a couple steps forwards.

"Bumblebee, is everything alright?" He took a couple more steps closer until the fear in Bee's field forced him to stop.

"I-Prowl, I'm so sorry" Bumblebee shook his helm as he took deep vents not wanting to cry. "I should have told you weeks ago but I was afraid...I'm so, so sorry"

Prowl was stunned, he wasn't sure what had gotten Bee worked up or so afraid so he opened his field allowing comfort to fill the air as he took a step forwards. "Sorry about what? What's happened?"

Bumblebee blinked back tears as his whole frame vibrated with the wave of his emotions. Suddenly the yellow mech fell to knees as the guilt finally over came him. "The truth! About me about our sparkling!"

"What...?"

Despite the shock Prowl kneeled down grabbing a hold of Bee's servos with his own. While he wasn't sure what was going on it broke his spark to see Bumblebee like this. Giving a gentle squeeze he leaned down giving a soft nuzzle. "Just vent Bee, tell me what's wrong slowly"

Bumblebee sighed leaning into the gentle nuzzle with his own. "Its hard for me to put this into words. But I'm not the mech you know...not truly" Taking in another sharp vent he lifted his gaze looking up at Prowl. "The truth is...I'm a hybrid. My creators were a insecticon and a normal bot. I may never met them but they left their mark on my life and I never told any one because I was afraid, afraid you would all hate me and..." He'd shut his optics waiting for Prowl to yell at him, to call him a freak.

"And...?"

Bumblebee gave a soft whimper as he opened his optics slowly. "And you may have sired a sparkling..." He leaned back watching the shock slowly wash over Prowl's face.

"Are you certain, I mean 100% certain I'm the Sire?" This wasn't how planed this evening to go, he had planed to confess his feelings to Bumblebee but now he has learned about Bee's past and that he now has a sparkling.

"Yes, you're the only mech I saw during my cycle who else?" Bumblebee barely had time to speak again when he was suddenly pulled into a hug.

Prowl had never felt such joy or worry in his spark, not only did he now have a sparkling but he also had Bee to protect and care for. He wasn't going to leave their side, on Earth or Cybertron. "I'm sorry too, for making you feel like you couldn't tell me. Forgive me Bumblebee"

Tears fell from Bee's optics as he buried his face into the sleek mech's shoulder, softly weeping. "Yeah, okay...I forgive you"

-------

After that night things changed for the team both good and bad. While the surprise of both Bee's and Prowl's little surprise sparkling shocked everyone, the team couldn't have been more supportive. Optimus quickly took to the role of Grand carrier, despite the mech being barely a couple of cycles older than the pair themselves. The prime was often seen spoiling the little femme giving her treats or driving around the city in his Alt-Mode with the little one safely tucked away in his seats. Of course Ratchet gave one of his important lectures hoping the next time someone decided to have a sparkling it would be rather planed than a surprise. The bad part however, with Bee's and his daughter's insecticon heritage discovered meant the Auto Bot Guard was looking down harshly on them. Most bots who were once friendly with Bee quickly stopped talking to the yellow mech often looking at him with disgust or fear, Sentinel was one of the worst ones often making snide remarks under his vents as he walked past.

Despite their hardships they still had a few close friends on Cybertron, they often sent gifts or letters asking if they were okay and doing well. Bee had even received a rather funny letter from Kup posing in front of a rowdy group of bots who seemed to be in the middle of a party game considering the high grade glasses scattered everywhere. While he flicked through the letters next to him Prowl has drifted off into recharge with their daughter on his chest, Bumblebee couldn't be any happier even though he misses his friends on Cybertron but he knew as long as he had his team and family he couldn't be anywhere else in the galaxy.

(PS: I swore I put on Anon in the last post, whoops accidental name drop lol)

Well, weird. Hahaha.

74. Why do you feel you are like a weird person?

I didn’t feel like I was weird at all originally, but recently I took on a lot of various jobs, and when I was being interviewed, I thought, “I’m such a weirdo”.

75. What was the moment that you felt that being weird is good too?

Because I am weird, I think about many different things and observe and make progress from a different perspective than others. Based on this, I don’t think it is a derogatory term, but after all I was a bit shocked to realise I am different from others (laughs).

84. If you could get one thing, what would it be?

I wonder. Hmm… I guess I rather get it on my own than receiving it.

85. What kind of nerd (otaku) are you?

Audio.

86. What is your specialty dish?

Frozen gyoza (laughs).

87. What kind of illustrations are you good at?

Just earphones, and gyoza (laughs).

89. Something you always keep in mind.

Never forget your original intention.

90. Words that you dislike.

Right. There is, but I wonder what it is. “Uncool” is definitely something I don’t want to be told.

91. A relaxing moment.

When I’m in the futon, lying on my stomach and squeezing the pillow.

92. How do you spend your birthday?

I was hardly in Japan for my birthday. There was always the Grand Prix Final, and when I couldn’t go, it’s usually because I was injured or sick.

93. On your 28th birthday after turning professional, how did you spend it?

I felt like it was the first time I could spend some time at home. Yeah. It’s like “I’m not fidgeting!” Moreover, I was not injured and not in a bad shape. That’s what I was thinking.

94. Were you also off work?

There’s a program called “Classic TV” with Shinya Kiyozuka, and there was a recording of it. However, even though there was a recording session, I was able to spend time at home.

95. You will be 29 years old this year. What kind of year would you like to have?

Well, for now, I would like to continue my research and study.

96. What kind of research and study?

Performance and expression techniques. I want to learn more about those things, and also learn more skating techniques.

97. What do you want to do when you turn 30?

For now, continue jumping quads. Like, “I can jump!” hahaha.

98. What will you be doing in 10 years?

I wonder if I will still be skating. My goal is to maintain my health and reduce the risk of injury as much as possible so that I can still skate 10 years from now.

99. Once again, “Yuzuru Hanyu” expressed in one kanji character.

Hmm. Core, I guess. I absolutely do not want to waver.

100. Lastly, what would you like to ask your fans?

Am I living up to your expectations?

[itsvenera]

hey welcome back! I wondered if you wrote for the Orochimaru trio? they're so criminally underrated

If yes, could I get relationship headcanons for Jugo or Suigetsu with a female reader? SFW and NSFW please! I'm not sure which one you'd rather do since you never wrote for them so im leaving it up to you! I hope that's not considered vague. Thank you!

author's note: to be honest I need to rewatch the series, because your request did make me do all that character research again lol. I didn't remember almost anything about the Orochimaru trio (other than the fact I loved Suigetsu's design), but I really hope I did your request justice! x I decided to do only Suigetsu for now, because I felt mor comfortable doing the hedcanons for him. Hope you like it! <3

warning: 18+ content, MINORS DO NOT INTERACT!! (I can and I WILL block you <3)

➤ SFW

Suigetsu can be either your ride or die, or your worst boyfriend ever that you wish you never met in the first place.

Your relationship is either 100% or -100%. No in between.

I think his ideal partner is pretty much a female version of himself - someone with a sharp wit and tongue, who is not afraid to call him out or match his sarcasm.

With that being said, a relationship with him is full of playful bickering and banter. You better not be too sensitive, because he can and WILL make fun of your quirks.

(Loves it if you fire back with some sassy comments of your own. Everyone around you - not so much. I imagine if you are part of Team Taka or in general there are people around both of you, at some point they will be tired of listening to all these flirty insults going back and forth.)

VERY overprotective. He can make fun of you and joke around but if he hears anyone threatens or disrespect you, he gets into protective mode straight away.

Can be romantic when he wants to. Most of the time he says stupid stuff like "your eyes are as beautiful as this tree bark" or "your hand seems heavy, let me hold it for you", but occasionally he will make some really nice gestures (like taking you out for a picnic under the moonlight and get you a gift that you have been wanting for a while).

LOVES to show off in front of you!

I feel like it doesn't matter for how long you've been together, he is always secretly insecure that one day you may wake up and find someone better than him. So while he won't ask it directly, he would sometimes whine and nag you till you comfort him and promise him he is the only one for you!

I don't think he is one for PDA, but he likes to have his hand on you - holding your shoulder or hand, poking you, tickling you, ANYTHING as long as he has that physical touch.

I feel like fights are going to be quite a frequent occurrence in your relationship. You both are strong characters who like to stand up for yourselves, so clashes are inevitable.

I think Suigetsu may not be really that supportive of a boyfriend when it comes to life goals or dreams, but he would expect you to be supportive of his all the time. I mean, is there more meaningful ambition than the one to collect all legendary swords? Probably. But he doesn't really care about it, neither he is interested to learn about it.

Sometimes during fights he can be real nuisance - he likes to push boundaries and he can be quite a good at gaslighting. However, if he realises he took it too far, he will always come and apologize first.

WATER SEX.

Like literally 95% of the times you have sex is in the water - in the shower, in the hot spring, in a lake, in a pool, sometimes even in the open while it is raining/storming.

Had 0 experience when he first met you, but he is such a fast learner that it took him two to three times to completely learn your body and what you like.

More of 'let's fuck' type rather than 'let's make love' type. I think that even if you ask him to take it slow for a night, he gets so easily excited and eager to be inside of you, that he can't control himself and he starts pounding into you at his usual fast pace.

Pretty rough sex partner!

I don't think he is into hardcore BDSM or anything like that, but he is definitely into chocking and biting. He likes to mark your skin, especially in places where everyone would be able to see the hickeys/bite marks.

HE LIVES FOR ORAL!

Loves receiving way more than giving - he just can't get enough of the sight of your sniffling and chocking around his cock. He also love face fucking and would usually let you control the pace only for a few minutes before he grabs your jaw and start thrusting in and out.

He is pretty good at giving head too - I see him as the messy/slurpy type of pussy eater. He likes having your juices all over his bed AND face. ;)

Loves quickies and is not afraid to try and get you to do it when you are in public or when you literally have less than 5 minutes before you have to leave.

Doesn't shut up during sex, it can actually be SO ANNOYING...

He is into dirty talking and a lot of it, which is fine most of the time. But I also see him as the type to try and crack jokes to which you just roll your eyes like: "Are you for real right now??"

Very high sex drive AND a lot of stamina. While I don't think he is the type to do long rounds (he is too impatient for too much teasing or foreplay!), but he can go on for quite a long time.

Merm AU (family lines)

oc x canon/they them law word count: 1.2k

Kirin's grandparents were overprotective and "conservative" to a fault - not so much in the political sense, rather that they were just old and didn't take very well to change - so he ended butting heads with them often, but they did care for him a lot

The reason they held on so tightly was because the didn't want Kirin to end up like his mom; leaving for the city and becoming every parent's nightmare "wild child', having a baby during college she couldn't support so Kirin was left in the care of his grandparents, barely being around for her baby because she was so busy with coursework - Kirin's mother sent money back when she could but honestly, it was meagre and just about all she could afford, but every month there would be an envelope with 100$ in their mailbox anyway

Kirin's father tried to be in his life but his grandparents never liked him - on the account of being irresponsible and having a baby when neither were ready - Kirin spent his childhood back and forth between his grandparents' cabin and with his dad's family in the city, never really got along with either but at least with his maternal grandparents he had the woods and the lake and Law to look forward to; every summer he could just swim and forget about the toils of being in a dysfunctional family

His paternal grandmother raised Kirin's dad and uncles by herself, she was a strict, cold, woman that was very much the Asian tiger mom stereotype; his grandmother and father got into a huge blowout argument when Kirin was a baby over whether his father should have kept him or not, though she'd eventually come to care for him in her own distanced way - in the end she said told him that Kirin didn't need to bring her grandchildren, only to be happy when he visited her grave every few years

Kirin was all cried out by the time her funeral took place a couple years ago but he was the one handling most of the arrangements and organization and was bereft for weeks, everyone on his father's side of the family had issues with one another but they were able to set things aside for a month or two to spend time grieving together at least

He had a strained relationship with his parents before, but when his mom didn't show up that day, Kirin decided that whatever went on in her life was no longer his business - though Kirin still keeps in vague touch with his dad (calls once a few times a year) and has a younger brother he has little interest in because they never got along (this may change but ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ)

As far as he knew, they were still receiving cheques from his maternal grandparents up until their deaths just like Kirin did - seeing them at this funeral and not his "mama's 妈妈" made his blood run that much hotter, and spurred the argument he had with his mom in the parking lot while his dad tried unsuccessfully to calm things down

Both sides of his family were very religious, from his maternal grandparents' Irish Catholicism to his paternal uncle's Evangelicalism, and his late grandmother still clinging onto Buddhist beliefs from her childhood - Kirin grew up surrounded by it, and though his belief shriveled up and died around age 14 where most edgelords thrived, he still keeps a talisman somewhere in his house and keeps the beaded bracelet his grandmother gave him like a family heirloom, mainly because it's too old and frayed to wear anymore and with his grandmother gone, Kirin has no one to fix it

Rarely, very very rarely, Kirin will put on the silver cross from his maternal grandmother to complete an outfit if his usual punk accessories don't fit his vibe

Law was separated from their family very young during a storm, young enough not to remember what their parents looked like or what their sister's name was, but old enough to be haunted by the memories of blurry faces calling out their name and the vague idea of a young mermaid dragging her "big brother" by the arm for playtime

Law was found by Corazon, a fisherman in the area who sympathized with merfolk and kept them secret for safety, and was nursed back to health by him - Rosi would often lament about how they were such a young guppy but already have scars (physically and emotionally)

They spent their time visiting Corazon and playing in the areas where his boat would drop anchor, often helping him coral fish into his net too, for a few years; or at the very least until Rosinante's brother caught wind of these interactions and trouble began to brew - Law would eventually get sent away when Rosinante and Doflamingo had a huge argument over them, Doffy wanting to sell this kid off to the highest bidder and make millions while Cora knew how inhumane it was and wanted to leave the merfolk well enough alone

Law swam as fast away as they could when things got ugly and guns were pulled out, unable to meet with Cora's partner he promised would take care of them and even well into their teens didn't know whether their father figure-- no, their dad, was still alive or not; they'd get their confirmation and subsequent reunion with him when Rena tumbled into their life on the cusp Law's early 20s just a couple years after Kirin left town and, before Law even realized it, Rena had squarely took the role of their baby sister

They consider Penguin, Shachi, Bepo, Cora, and his family as part of their own now—though the latter Law only sees sparingly—so even though it still hurts at times, Law doesn't let old visions from the past bother them all that much anymore, especially with Kirin back in their life, his friends supporting their joined ventures as a couple, and someone new on the way that they can't wait to meet

That said, Law still retains a few key things from their early childhood, like making medicine and salves from the plants and animals around them; their parents weren't exactly brain surgeons or doctors like the people they were on Flevance, but Law remembers how their mom and dad cared for their community and through all adversity, took that to heart

Though they live vastly separate lives and maybe don't even swim in the same waters anymore, the comforts of a lake connected to a river up the mountain and tunnels below opposed to the vast openness of the sea, Lami still holds out hope that she'll get to see her brother's smile again at least once despite her parents' pragmatism since - all things considered, it has been 24 years

And for what it's worth, Kirin has people not related by blood he considers closer than his relatives as well, an older man with a toothpick always in his mouth who ran the bar Kirin constantly frequented in his 20s in particular, along with his gruff partner (who, by the way, also absolutely flipped over video call when Kirin told them about the "news" ie a grandbaby on the way)

Another day, another ask, but this time, it's about what are some currently airing shows that you're watching and really enjoying and how would you describe what you like about them briefly?

For example, The Warp Effect: Wholesome and sex positive QL, with so much representation and topics brought up weekly. Nothing like what I was expecting - in the best way.

Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day @sliceduplife! I hope it was kind to you because my response is going to be just like me and my favorite characters - problematic and absolute basura!

To begin, I'm actually going to tell you what I'm rewatching instead of currently watching:

Great Men Academy - Much like 3 Will Be Free and The Warp Effect, Great Men Academy isn't a BL, but it doesn't stop it from being queer af. It has a unicorn that grants wishes, a magical lake that requires nudity to activate, a ghost, a school sanctioned Hunger Games, body swapping, and an Elite level moment:

If you don't get the Elite reference, know that this lead-paint-level-toxic hottie, Cruz, delivered the best line ever uttered in the series:

¡No soy gay! Ni bi. Ni tri. ¡Soy futbolista! (I'm not gay! Not bi. Not tri. I'm a footballer!) <- I say "¡Soy futbolista!" all of the time when people ask about my sexuality without clarification and leave them in their confusion.

*moving on to your actual ask*

The Warp Effect - I came for Joy, the cinematographer who also did KinnPorsche, and Jojo, the director who does everything else I love, but stayed to see all the ways people could come... to an understanding about their sexuality. Also, it's very queer.

My Beautiful Man 2 - I do not condone stalking, but when it comes to my idol and his devoted worshiper, I'm trying to invent new ways of stalking, so Hira can always be within a 100 yards of Kiyoi. They should be more red flags than California during fire season, yet they are wholesome and adorable.

Well...in a very kinky way, kinda like these two wild kids from Secretary

Never Let Me Go - It has a teenager becoming the CEO of his family's multi-million dollar company and another teenager being his bodyguard falling in love! How could I not love it?! It's outrageous! And somehow the most unrealistic thing about this plot is there being a genuine good guy who openly talks about bitcoins, and I LOVE HIM! I did not have falling in love with a man who enjoys "investing" on my BINGO card, but then again, look at my very good boy. LOOK AT HIM!

Hit Bite Love - It's so messy. It has stepbrothers in love, open discussions about condom sizes and lubricant, Kinks-R-Us, a bi Burger looking for his King, and so much more. This past episode hid a pivotal scene behind a paywall due to the two characters having sex in the school's locker room, so half of the plot was missing in the edited version. It made NO SENSE, but I didn't care. Give me all the mess, but I draw the line at taking off your sock and putting it in someone's mouth. BAD BOY! VERY BAD BOY!

The End of the World with You - Japanese BLs stress me out. They give me a lot of an anxiety, and I'm constantly preparing for someone to die or for one of them to be a murderer. Even in the "happiest" Japanese BLs, there always exist this undercurrent of malice..and I'm attracted to it. >insert Ritsu aka El Diablo<

Moonlight Chicken - Eff "More than Friends, Less than Lovers!" That's child's play. Give me my HussyVille Gang Gang! Give me the "we've been breaking beds and each other's backs since day one, but I'm not even sure what his name is, and if I'm being honest, I don't really need to know" squad. Then, on top of that, it's EarthMix doing the devil's boogie?! I waited for over a year for this, and I don't say this often when it comes to men, but the anticipation was worth it.

HIStory 5: Love in the Future - I will always show up to a Taiwanese BL. They are like Rihanna at the Super Bowl. They do the bare minimum but are still very entertaining, include all the fan favorites (domestic bliss, high heat, office romances, good side couples, marriage equality), and pop out with a few surprises. Others may be disappointed, but I am ALWAYS pleased.

My School President - Did you read the list before this? There is a common underlying theme. Even if the show isn't messy, I'm going to find the mess and fixate on it, and it doesn't get stranger than Por's obsession with the chinchilla. GMM better get on merchandising this critter ASAP because there is a gold mine behind this, capitalizers.

Bed Friend - It hasn't started yet, but I'll be watching it. It has a Blue Boy and Red Rascal BUT they are not who would normally be coded that way, which means they are clearly going to have to resolve the reasons why they changed their behavior to cover up their obvious colors. Who hurt our Red Rascal that he turned into a nun? Who harmed our Blue Boy to make him the slutty slut he is? I cannot wait to find out!

Chains of Heart - One word: Papi. Wait, sorry. Let me try again: Poppy. The show has a plot, and I care about it, but...Poppy. He is playing a bad guy, which I got a glimpse of in Love Mechanics, so I'm hoping it means we get to see more of him, and I don't mean screen time, although I wouldn't be opposed to that either. Obviously, I have to be interested in the actual plot since he is a supporting character...but POPPY! mmmm, papi!

[songleap]

i always see these posts but i feel like they never include the most insane canon events because most people in this fandom have a fake idea in their head of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series that are no where as chaotic an insane as they actually were, so ive decided to make a poll. one of these is a plotline from a warriors fanfiction i wrote when i was ten, the rest are 100% real, canon events. which is the FAKE plot?

a. a human child falls into the ravine where a group of cats live, and in order to rescue her the cats take her purse and leave an trail of items from her house to where she fell so that her parents can find her

b. the pov character is forced by a group of cats to fight in a roman style colosseum against several cats, including a cannibal, until they are put up against their estranged sibling from another clan, but they both team up to kill the cat running the colosseum

c. the pov character is sent back in time to visit an ancient group of cats, and casts the final vote in an election for them to move to a new area. this group of cats then goes on to found the group of cats they are from, creating a time paradox. a year later they goes back in time again and becomes mates with another cat, but the cat who sent them back in time comes to bring them to the present and they force their mate to become the leader of the group and take an oath of celibacy

d. the pov character tries to make one of their parents kill themselves by eating poisonous berries and give up when said parent says they honestly kinda want to die

e. the pov character, who is blind, tries to rescue a cat who falls in the lake during a game of ice hockey, but is forced to stop by a ghost appearing and telling them its that cat's time to die. several months later the pov character visits cat heaven and nearly drowns in a mud puddle while the cat they failed to drown watches

f. a cat, while visiting the cat hell in their dreams, has their neck snapped by a ghost to make an example out of them for speaking out. this causes their body to vanish from the real world and their clan to spend several days looking for them

g. a group of cats is threatened by a mountain lion that has been killing and eating them and receive a prophecy about a small group of cats in their group killing the mountain lion. they obviously fail and are exiled. they then receive a prophecy about one singular random cat they've never met being able to kill this mountain lion and try to make them fight said mountain lion alone. the prophecy turns out to be about their sibling instead, who kills the mountain lion by jumping to the ceiling of a cave and knocking over a stalactite, which falls and impales it

h. a small of cats goes to help a large group of cats deal with some random group that has decided to settle on their territory and beat the shit out of them for no reason. after an entire book teaching them how to fight, the pov character, whose superpower is being unkillable, singlehandedly takes them all down anyway

Hey 🌷. I hope you don't mind writing Tauxolouve x goddess reader general headcanons. What is there relationship like? How often do they go on dates? etc. It's ok if you don't want to write this.

Tauxolouve × goddess!reader—general headcanons

Genre: fluff

Warnings: none

A/N: CUTENESS OVERLOAD AAHH *sobs into my single-pringle corner*

- Doodles you a lot, before you two get together, Like- when you're not looking, he draws sketches of you.

- Karno realizes something changed with Lou, because he notices he picked up his hobby again, but doesn't know exactly what.

- When you and Loud get together, you'll 100% get a "oh, so you're the girl that Lou's been head over heels about!" From Karno like the momma he is.

- If you're working together, he makes sure to slip heart doodles into each stack of documents he passes you and stares from the other side of the room to see your bashful smile, when you find his sketch.

- Lou could give up his soul for baths, so I can see him taking you to a lot of dates having to do with lakes and stuff, where you two can soak up inside, hugging it out.

- Also likes to draw the places you visit and it's usually moments of comfortable and loving silence between the two of you, where each one of you are doing your own thing. (Ex: He's painting and you're reading/also painting/anything).

- He likes to go on dates with you pretty often, because now that he knows he has a future, he wants to explore all the ways he didn't explore life before and now that you're here too, he's ecstatic.

- Leon: "If you don't stop spacing out during work, by staring at (name), I will move you to the other side of the wing!"

Tauxolouve: "Yeah, yeah, you're lecturing me on slacking off?"

Leon: "..."

Leon: "Listen here, you little-"

- Would take you on Earth dates if you're interested in Earth's cultures.

- I feel like at some point, Tauxolouve stumbled upon a copy of Romeo and Juliet and he surprised you one night by recreating the balcony scene with you.

- If you also appreciate poetry, he'll gladly whisper poems into your ear as you drift away in his arms and he runs his fingers through your hair. (I know gods don't need to sleep, but it's not forbitten either sooo-)

- Idk about you, but Tauxolouve strikes me as a person who love his partner's tummy *dies from cuteness* so whether he's wrapping his arms around you, tickling you, kissing you, trying to leave hickeys on you, his attention will naturally wander to your tummy.

- Will also lay his head on your tummy (because he loves it so much) and you're gonna stroke his hair AND WHEN HE GETS UP, HIS HAIR WILL BE DOWN, LIKE IN THAT ONE CG KNKSNGSODGNSDKGNDMGNKD.

- 100% carries you onto his back in a piggy back ride across the entire Heavens.

- Basically, now with you here, he has found his more playful side again.

- (Tauxolouve: "I told you Aigo! I'm not an old man!")

- Still draws you, but now he makes portraits, given how you know about his love for you, so he doesn't fear the possibility of you finding them.

- And I don't think I need to mention that, because it's pretty obvious, but he's there to listen to any of your problems any time of any day or night. You're not bothering him. Your feelings matter and he loves you. You're literally the best thing that's happened to him. <3

- You're basically living the Disney dream is what I'm saying.

- Hell, he even gets on one knee to help you put your shoes on.

- Also likes to raise your dresses for you, when you walk up the stairs, so you don't trip on them. It makes him feel like he's your prince and he wants to take care for his princess.

- His parents love you. And I mean they LOOOOOOOVE you.

- His mother would squeeze yours and Tauxolouve's cheeks 24/7, I'm sure of it.

- And if you decide to have (a) child(ren), these two can and they will spoil them rotten.

- Something else I don't think needs clarification, but I'm still gonna say it, because I'm extra, is that Tauxolouve, won't EVER and I mean EVER let the flame between you weaken. Even after centuries of dating and marriage (and kids, if you decide to have any, whether they're adopted or biological), he will always make sure you never lose your spark and also treasures you, because you gave him a reason to live and you brighten up his life. <3<3<3<3

(Imagine if one time Tauxolouve slipped a heart doodle between the documents, before passing them to you, but due to some complications, the stack ends up in Teo's hands and he thinks it was originally meant for him, so now he's hugging Tauxolouve close, into a ✨bro hug✨, sobbing into his shoulder.)

Today I am back home in Roosevelt, Utah. I flew in on Saturday morning, got to Salt Lake City at noon and Victoria and I made our way home on the Salt Lake Express (formerly Greyhound). We got here earlier than we thought we would and Filisi came to get us. Tupou helped me get here, by sending $100. Forever grateful for her and her ofa. I have not kaukau’d since the morning I came from Cali. The bathroom situation is not the best, but we can make do. The toilet works and the sink works well but the bathtub does not have running water or a shower head. We can use buckets from the water in the sink. I just finished doing a little cleaning in the bathroom. I have an interview tomorrow morning at 10:50am at the Burger King down the street which is very convenient and demure. I think I will wake up around 5am or 6am and start getting ready after Tupou is done because I need to get my bags from the car. And maybe make Pou and I some cocoa before she leaves. I am excited and grateful for every blessing my Father in Heaven gives me. Another blessing was being able to have Family Home Evening with everyone (karaoke) and praying together for the night before Tupou needs to sleep for work.

Thankful for this opportunity to get back to basics and remember who I am. It helps to be mindful and stay in the present.

Hopefully Peki has had a good day, I probably didn’t help it to be good. It’s in God’s hands at this point. I don’t really know how to talk to him at this point. Hoping that time will be good to us.

Still not on great terms with Nia. I keep bumping heads with her because she’s annoying to my life.

So very grateful for Tupou and all she has done and continues to do for this family and for herself. I am grateful to build upon our relationship and help it to be stronger.

Today Nana broke out the guitar during karaoke. Grateful for their musical talents and the way their mind works. Nana is always good for a laugh.

Victoria and Jess are still on a break even though sometimes it seems like they’re done. I am hoping this time apart will help them in their individual lives and best case scenario it will make their relationship stronger. Venting and talking about our situations has helped me and I see where I get my point of view of a lot of things. Love her life forever.

Filisi is mom’s right hand man. She took mom with teti to mom’s doctor appointment. She is always the first one to do moms puis. I haven’t yet gotten a chance to speak with her about how she is doing mentally and emotionally. I hope we get our time soon. My frienemy for life.

Mom has been gaining more weight. (Yay!) she went up a pants size. We are happy she can eat more, and it’s good for her to have a little extra weight on her for the winter. She gets so cold.

Teti and Victoria have been doing daily fires in the back trying to get rid of the trash around the house. He does what he can. He was so happy to hear us singing karaoke today. I am glad we could make his night good.

I am so grateful for my family. I feel spiritually fed even tho we didn’t do much except pray together and have family night. Thankful for these feelings of love.

Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6 Activation of Supervolcanoes and Volcanic Systems

ALLATRA volunteer reveals the future of all humanity…

The shockwave would travel not only through the atmosphere and Earth’s crust, but also deep into the mantle. Given that all supervolcanoes are connected into a single magmatic system via the molten mantle, seismic waves from an explosion as powerful as the Siberian Plume’s would undoubtedly trigger an immediate detonation of other supervolcanoes in a cascading chain reaction on the first day.

This would likely provoke eruptions of numerous volcanoes worldwide, regardless of their type or current state of activity. In this case, we can expect massive super-eruptions from Yellowstone and Long Valley in the U.S., Campi Flegrei in Italy, Toba in Indonesia, Aira in Japan, Taupo in New Zealand, and all the rest supervolcanos.

Map location

Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6

Activation of Supervolcanoes and Volcanic Systems

Aside from supervolcano eruptions, numerous other volcanoes located along the Pacific Ring of Fire and other seismically active zones may also begin to erupt. Likely candidates include Mount Fuji in Japan, Krakatau and Merapi in Indonesia, Vesuvius and Etna in Italy, Popocatépetl in Mexico, the volcanic fields of Kamchatka, volcanoes in the Andes and Alaska, and subglacial volcanoes in West Antarctica. Even dormant volcanoes are expected to awaken, such as Mount Ararat in Türkiye, Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus, Laacher See in Germany, Kilimanjaro and Nyiragongo in Africa, and dormant volcanoes on the Arabian Peninsula.

Acid Rains

It is also noteworthy that the devastating release of volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide will cause all rain to be acidic. For calculations, let’s consider the Yellowstone eruption 630,000 years ago, which wasn’t its most powerful. It is known that sulfur emissions from that eruption amounted to 500 megatons of sulfur dioxide. Yellowstone’s largest eruption 2.1 million years ago was several times more powerful. Therefore, for scaling, let’s multiply this figure by 3 and then by 1,000 to estimate sulfur dioxide emissions from the Siberian Plume eruption, excluding contributions from other volcanoes. The projected volume of sulfur dioxide emissions will amount to approximately 1,500,000 megatons, or 1.5 × 10¹² tons, which is about a million times greater than emissions from major volcanic eruptions like the Tambora eruption in 1815 (the "Year Without a Summer"), during which 100 million tons of SO₂ were released.

With such massive emissions from the Siberian Plume, sulfur compounds would linger in the atmosphere for several decades, gradually precipitating as acid rain until aerosols completely settle out of the stratosphere. Calculations suggest that the primary peak of acid rain would last between 3 and 10 years, depending on climatic circulation patterns and the distribution of substances.

Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6

Activation of Supervolcanoes and Volcanic Systems

Regions of Russia closest to the epicenter of the SO₂ release, surrounded by dense acidic clouds, may experience rainfall with a pH below 1.5, equivalent to diluted sulfuric acid that devastates vegetation. Many water bodies would turn into acidic lakes with a pH of approximately 2 to 3, rendering them uninhabitable for fish, aquatic plants, and microorganisms.

The rapid acidification of soils would leach vital minerals necessary for plant life. On a global scale, vegetation would be destroyed as high acidity damages leaves, roots, and branches.

Water systems, including those supplying drinking water, would become unusable without extreme filtration measures. Acid rain would also corrode infrastructure; buildings made of cement, marble, and metals would degrade rapidly due to acidic precipitation (as sulfate compounds accelerate corrosion).

However, it should be noted that concentrated acid rains would globally affect humanity only during the first few post-eruption months. Over time, these rains would become limited to specific regions. As volcanic winter sets in, the majority of precipitation would shift to snow. Nevertheless, before global cooling fully takes hold, acid precipitation would have already annihilated large swaths of flora and fauna.

Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6

Activation of Supervolcanoes and Volcanic Systems

Volcanic Winter

Combined effects of the Siberian Plume explosion, along with simultaneously triggered eruptions of numerous volcanoes, would be disastrous. Massive emissions of ash, gases (especially SO₂), and aerosols into the atmosphere would lead to profound changes in Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere. The explosion would eject an immense amount of volcanic ash, gases, and aerosols, effectively blocking sunlight for decades. The Earth's surface would plunge into near-total darkness during this time. A glow from lava flows and fires would barely illuminate the dense ash-filled skies.

Since enormous quantities of volcanic ash and sulfate aerosols in the stratosphere would reflect a portion of sunlight, the Earth's energy balance would be disrupted (less heat would be reaching the surface). This would lead to rapid atmospheric cooling, plunging the planet into an extreme cooling period spanning for decades, a phenomenon that could be described as a "hyper-volcanic winter." The planet would become an "ice ball," with most of the Earth's surface—except for some equatorial regions—becoming too cold to sustain life.

Siberia: To Be or Not to Be? | #6

Activation of Supervolcanoes and Volcanic Systems

Volcanic Winter

Historical data can help estimate the extent of cooling. For instance, during Yellowstone's most powerful eruption 2.1 million years ago, global temperatures dropped by an average of 3 to 5°C. Scaling the emissions of aerosols and volcanic ash to the magnitude of the Siberian Plume explosion suggests the following.

Global temperatures are projected to drop by approximately 37°C. In polar regions, temperatures can fall by 50°C or more, causing all major water bodies in temperate zones to freeze, including the North Atlantic and parts of the Pacific Ocean. In mid-latitudes, temperatures may decrease by 35-40°C, leading to disappearance of vegetation and widespread extinction events. The sudden temperature drop would disrupt current atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns. Oceans would begin to freeze, starting with surface layers and coastal regions. The global ecosystem of marine flora and fauna would virtually disappear.

In tropical regions, temperatures are expected to drop by 20–25°C. As a result, even tropical areas would become ice-covered and uninhabitable due to severe cooling and disruptions in atmospheric circulation.

Nearly all land would become barren due to freezing conditions, darkness, and a lack of photosynthesis. Food chains would collapse catastrophically: a failure of agriculture, combined with mass extinction of flora and fauna, would lead to the extinction of most species, including humans. Only deep-sea or thermophilic microbes, along with small surviving human colonies in artificial climate conditions (for instance, in underground shelters), might endure temporarily.

Sulfate aerosols, which remain in the stratosphere for decades, would effectively block sunlight, prolonging the effects of this hyper-volcanic winter. However, Earth would remain uninhabitable for far longer. Even after the ash settles, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for the planet to restore its natural balance due to the widespread freezing of oceans, glaciers, and the resulting global environmental disaster.

Reviewing Patina

Because i realized i can infodump whenever i want, its my blog

First song on the album, Patina is my absolute 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 on this album. It might squeeze into my #1 spot for this band. Cody 100% KILLED it on the vocals of this recording. As did the rest of the group, naturally. A fantastic start to the album, incredibly strong introduction to anyone just discovering them. This plays on repeat in my head.

Best time to listen: Foggy or Overcast Weather

Lakes was released earlier as a single, so I'm already a fan since I've been listening to it on repeat since it came out. They've been playing it in concert for a while before it released too, so I was already familiar and thrilled to finally be able to play it over and over in the car lol. Catchy chorus, great pacing, a perfect blend. Great summer song.

Best time to listen: Fantasizing Angsty AMVs

I'll admit I was skeptical upon my first listen that the crown would hold up to how I felt about the first two songs on the album, but that skepticism was quickly dashed by that fun little cowbell. Honestly, such a fun song. I do prefer to hear them preform it live though. Their energy on stage during this performance is so infectious! The crowd is always hype during this song. Last concert I went to, they were banging on a metal container during the last bits and it was unparalleled.

Best time to listen: With Sunglasses On

r.e.m. is literally so close to beating patina as my fave song on the album!! It's ridiulously fun to sing and I have been doing so at home, at work, all day, every day. Addictive doesn't do it justice! Patina beats it by just a smidge only because I need the chorus of r.e.m. to play at least one more time, I love it so much!

Best time to listen: Driving Fast/Driving at Night Thru the City (truthfully there is no bad time to listen to r.e.m.)

smokr falls lower on my tier list. Not because it's bad, it just isn't the type of song I listen to often. A sudden shift in gears, smokr is a much softer song than the predecessors, with mostly just Cody and a guitar for most of the song. They've done a great job at making the song 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭 smoky, as if you're listening in a room hazy with cigarettes and memories.

Best time to listen: After a Breakup

In direct contrast to smokr, which is mostly focused on Cody singing softly, decay is an entirely instrumental track that lets the rest of the band come in and shine. And what a sick tune they get going for us! At no point in the song am I bored of repeating lines, nor am I whiplashed from any changes. The song moves, flows, and evolves as it goes on and leaves you hooked the whole time and before you know it, you've flowed right into the next song.

denial is the song I always forget until that chorus hits me right in the chest. After the last 2 songs, denial pulls you right back into their usual sound of fantastic intrumentals and powerful vocals. It helps balance the beginning and end of the album and does so masterfully. They knew what they were doing putting everything in this specific order.

Best time to listen: In a Hot Topic or Zumiez

Starting off with the lone piano notes, followed by vocals joining, degrade makes you think we are back to sad, simple sounds like in smokr. However, the rest of the band quickly hops in and sets the pace as something entirely different. And that CHORUS! Some of my favorite lyrics from EP are in this song. I think this was the perfect choice to finish off the album. They've been playing it at concerts for a while now and has a lot of love from the fans. Most of us are already singing along lol. Such a vibe. You're bobbing your head before you realize it.

Best time to listen: In an Anime Intro with a lot of Running and Falling Through Endless Sky
