[alien-from-planet-zog]

GAYS WHO FUCKING SLAY

[luffyvace]

I just need ussop x male reader head cannons I can never find any cus I can definitely see them kissing and then ussop bragging about it as is he wasn’t sweating and race red please 🙏 I love your work it makes me smile at how silly it is smt 💙

I KNOWWWW I never see any usopp x male reader!!! 💥💥

awww that scenario is so cute and true <3

THANK YOU!!! That’s so kind of you to say! Yesss I’m so glad you enjoy my siliness because my writing always has been and always will be ;D 💖💖

Honestly Usopp probably isn’t fazed much about the fact that your a male

he’s educated on lgbtq+ and if you hc him to be apart of them that’s probably why!

So he’s not much flustered or surprised at the fact that he likes a guy just the fact that he likes YOU.

and your!- just!- yoursoepicsoawesomesoincrediblesobreathtakingsostunningsoastoundingsoextrodinaryso-

LIKE YOUR JUST SO COOL!-

i mean I guess he could’ve just said that buuuut

’cool’ is not cool enough of a word to describe you😉

alr that was a terrible dad joke but anyway-

thats not the point! The point is!….it really doesn’t matter your gender he just thinks your phenomenal (pan usopp? I’ll let you decide…)

the strawhats also don’t mind!

now every time I write they’re reactions it’s the same so I’m not doing it all over again- 😆

just a few honorable mentions :)

first off Robin knew it’d happen all along and nami got paid from the bets of it

Sanji doesn’t get the appeal but he knows every man isn’t the same (my boy zoro scarred him) and so is everyone’s preferences. (he supports)

luffy suggests to throw a party (just as an excuse to have one) but it’s not a bad excuse so you guys through one anyway

and yeah that’s all your getting 🥰

usopp tells the strawhats (probably luffy first) that you two are dating

he’s so excited when he does 💗

as soon as you say yes he’s running off to find everyone, (again- luffy first) shouting at the top of his lungs that you two are an item

okay on to your scenario~ 😊

*chuu*~ usopp gives you a little kiss on the lips (for the first time)

his face gets as red as a rose while standing there computing that he singlehandedly just had his first kiss with you and in general

you blinked and he’s already bolted off to go brag to the rest of the crew

specifically sanji, luffy, chopper and franky/brook

why them specifically?

Sanji because he didn’t even get to kiss at least Charlotte + plus he got his first kiss and partner before him

luffy & chopper because those are his loser bsfs

franky and brook? because he’s way younger than them and he got his first kiss before them 😂😂

he basically couldn’t stop boasting about it for a week straight

even then he’ll bring it up every chance he gets

”you may be strong sanji but at least I’ve had my first kiss” 😁☝️

his love languages are physical touch & gift giving (quality time too)

he will never not be shy about physical touch 💗

he just never gets used to it

his affections? (🤗) he lives for every form of physical touch ever from you

kiss on the cheek/forehead/lips/temple/hand, cuddles, linking pinkies/hold hands, footsie, high fives, shoulders/knees touches

you name it he wants it

seriously even the little stuff- generally before you start dating

Because then he’s even more shy/nervous around you

I haven’t mentioned that but he definitely is

he doesn’t know what to not do or how to act

yes those precisely bc he worries he’ll screw smth up by doing smth you don’t like

as far as how to act he simply doesn’t know what to do with himself around you

he becomes very self conscious

I’m sure quite a few peeps do in front of they’re crush ^v^

making you laugh counts as a love language for him

he loves the sound of your laughter. it lets him know he’s making you happy

he’s really worried about being a good boyfriend

so when he’s able to make you laugh he knows he’s doing something right

with quality time it’s all about the fact that he looooves to be around you!

whenever your away?

*goes to find you/asks around about your whereabouts* “hey m/n whatcha doin?” 😋

don’t get me wrong he’s not clingy the man still has hobbies—you know working in the usopp factory n such

But he does like to spend a good portion of his day with his lover 💛 (who doesn’t?)

gift giving is heavily his thing since he can give you his tinctures

you know cuz he likes to make stuff?

especially if your weak

then you can defend yourself

and he won’t have to worry about you <3

even if you are strong he’ll still make you stuff :P

maybe something that can help in battle but since you can handle yourself it likely protain to other things you like

if your strong he 💯 runs to you to protect him when danger comes

”YEAH!! M/N’S GONNA BEAT YOU UP! YOU BETTER NOT MESS WITH US!!”

(he’s saying this as he runs away :3)

if he ever manages to save you he’d be so proud of himself and brag to everyone about it

”yeah!! I saved m/n’s BUTT!” 😼

he keeps retelling the story more dramatic a each time and the only one still buying it is chopper <3

even luffy don’t believe him no more 🗿

If your weak he will protect you with everything he’s got!

even if that ain’t much 💪

which it’s essentially just him telling you to run, stalling, then running away himself

He likely leads the threat to someone who can defeat them and takes the credits 😎

random :)

he is most certainly simping if you have abs

like he would just loooove to watch you work out 😍😍🙏

if you met back in syrup village he probably followed you everywhere

like you were his only friend before the usopp pirates type thing

Btw you were the vice captian of said group

If you’ve known each other for that long it’s likely love and not just a crush by now but you label it 🤷‍♀️

if not then when you helped save his village he prob developed a crush on you then

how bravely you fought 😍 (even if you were crying like him)

Or maybe he goes to your island and he finds you very cool (even if your not physically strong)

either way he romanticizes how you really are and develops a crush on that idea of you. BUT- dw he DOES genuinely love you ‼️

quick mention on kaya- lets say him, you and kaya were just close friends and they weren’t crushing on each other

you, chopper, usopp and luffy are a group- ain’t no doubt about it c;

y’all are always being silly 😜

If your the mature one of the group your gonna go crazy 🤗🤗 not crazier than nami

Pranks also happen a lot (water bucket on door, stealing stuff, ding dong ditching etc.. little harmless stuff 😚)

overall usopp boyfriend review and rating? 100/100 green flag please date him

Usopp def needs some more content ! Male reader particularly

Hope you enjoy lovely nonny~♡

[erzsebetrosztoczy]

Would you do a NSFW-alphabet with Aegon & Daemon also? I absolutely loved your Aemond-work!!

Hello Nonny! I'm delighted that you enjoyed my Aemond fic, I plan to write many more! 🥰 Your wish to be completed, I bring you Aegon II Targaryen for second and I'll do Daemon's soon as well 😊

𝐀𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐈 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐞𝐧

𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

The crown prince lives a very scandalous and carefree life, he cares little to none about the opinion of others. Therefore his nights with you are just for the entertainment of you two. Here it's not the question of "your a fling or a paramour" of his – the importance in his actions comes from whether he loves you or you were just an adventure for him. If he cared only about the sex, he'll most likely ignore you afterwards, maybe thanks you for your hard work, but he'll be ready to forget about you and the night, ready to jump jnto the next one.

When Aegon loves someone he'll make sure to show it to the person, show it to the court, show it to the whole world, shrugging at the consequences. He loves laying in bed with his lover; sily, lazy chatting and giggles, he'll caress your form, confessing to you over and over again how enchanted he is with you. He most likely would like you to clean up after you and him as well, then he can finally draw you on top of his chest, wrapping his arms around you, still in post-coital bliss.

B = Body part (their favourite body part of their and also their partner’s)

Prince Aegon's favorite part of you is your bottom half – he just can't get enough of it. Some swift glances at your passing form on a festive, watching as your hips wave along with the soft silk of your dress; how he can grab you by the ass and pick you up, how he can hold onto your hips while thrusting into you. Aegon loves to handle your body, so soft and warm under his touch, always needing more of it.

He's most proud of his unruly curls, and his handsome face – Aegon decided he won't follow the "traditional" family look- Targaryen men famous for their long, neatly combed hair, he would rather show -in his appearance as well- that he's rebelling against his family's wishes and expectations, going after his own head. He likes his lips or rather his mouth, how smoothly he can sweep the ladies off of their feet only with his words, how painfully desirable your sounds are when he's eating you out.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He's The Prince, his wishes are commands for his servants – Aegon doesn't not need to face consequences of his actions most of the time so why would he be careful with you, when passion drives him? Aegon almost always finishes inside of your cunt, wanting your walls to milk out as much of him as possible. He doesn't care if his seed would sprout in your womb, this is why they have maesters around the Red Keep. It will be up to you, if you would want to keep his child and raise a bastard of his or drink the offered moon tea to avoid scandals.

On rare occasions, either when Aegon is rather very invested in his fun or when his mind fogged with drinks; he'll experiment a little bit, spilling his seed on your stomach or ass, just to watch the mess he created.

D = Dirty secret (a dirty secret of theirs)

Aegon would love to have an orgy with you, where he can be both spectator and fuck whoever he wants. To get drunk and just let himself lose- he can have anyone there, anyhow and no one would bat an eye on him wanting too much and too many. Bodies twisting together in sweat and pleasure, unable to determine where one's starts and the other's ends.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Aegon could be his uncle's successor of the title - Lord Flea Bottom; except Aegon would be King of it based on his frequent visits to King's Landing most extravagant brothels.

With you, he'll need only a few - around two- nights to know your body like the back of his hand, to play it so precisely and effectively. The whores- who he laid with in his youth taught him well, knowing a woman's body so well, maybe you, yourself didn't know everything your body can do and feel as he showed you night after night. Aegon knows what he's doing and if he wants to, he can completely destroy you in moments; you'll come hard for him before you could notice it.

F = Favourite position

He loves when you ride him in reversed cowgirl for many reasons. Aegon has to do almost nothing, and still getting off from you, he can hold your ass an hips, grabbing them as he pleases, if he wants to, he only needs to reach up to hold your bouncing breasts, and the best part for him is that he can watch his cock disappear into your heat every time you sink back onto him. Other favorite of his when he can fuck you from behind as you stand, pushing you to the wall or table, he has easy access both to your ass to slap it occasionally, and reaching to the front- to your clit to play with you as he rails you.

G = Goofy (are they serious in the moment? are they goofy?)

Oh this prince loves dissolving tension with laughter. It's music to his ears when he can hear your giggles between pants and moans, as your laughter turns into a ragged cry when he hits your cervix. Aegon prefers sex with conversation, or at lsast somekind of talk while doing the act, solely the sounds you make, when he hears skin slapling on skin doesn't fires him up that much, it can get quite repetative or even boring for him if you won't show any new noises after a while.

So he likes to have a banter, even while balls deep in you, no matter how gibberish you are he'll talk nonstop to you. Compliment, comments, jokes or cursing he'll never shut his mouth and he's even more eased if you join him - your voice ragged and stuttering, pausing in sentences as he thrust into you.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes?)

The prince -surprisingly- has body hair only in a few places – a little on his chest, arms, legs and loin. Aegon had a very thin line of happy tail but it's barely noticeable, so he tends to shave it because he thinks this way his looks match his whole being a little bit more. He's neat down there, keeping everything in order because he fucks so much, Aegon got used to maintaining his looks.

I = Intimacy (how romantic are they in bed?)

He can be very romantic if he wants to be. For example when he wants to impress you, seduce you he'll do many romantic things from the foreplay to the very end.

Aegon is a master in courting ladies, he knows every rule how to capture a woman's heart (and cunt) with his actions outside the bed. If you're really important to him, you'll melt from his sweet talk – Aegon doesn't look much of a poet, but he did learn a few even if only for the sake of getting under a woman's skirt.

He's not touch starved – quite the opposite- but he, in fact, love-starved. He craves affection both from verbal reassurance and physical touches. Tell him sweet things, how lovely he is, how amazing he's doing, how much you love him – stroke his ego too. Cuddle him afterwards, pet his hair, kiss his temple and he'll keep you by his side forever. This can be seen as almost a motherly affection that he craves, but if you give him what he needs he'll make sure you stay, won't ever let go of someone like you, who cares for him.

J = Jack off (how often do they masturbate)

He- if not all the time, almost always lusts for a good fucking. Your times with him happen very often, there's not a day the prince wouldn't call you to his chamber. If for some reason you're not available, or any woman he would like to lay with, Aegon will masturbate no matter the time of day or what he's supposed to do, where he's supposed to be. He will imagine your tight cunt, your mouth, your hands on him, how you look - mind fucked out of you, the sounds you make.

To hold the pleasure as long as possible, he'll edge himself stopping when he's about to come, waiting a few moments to calm himself, just so he can build his pleasure up all over again.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

He loves watching you fuck yourself on his bed, as he sits across the room pumping his cock in his grasp. It tingles his mind, kind of amazes him that you two won't touch the other even a bit, and it's still like he's fucking you. And the sight of you playing with yourself just adds to the scene.

Aegon is skillful in making you beg for him, edging you (and with this all, himself) until it seems you can't take it any longer, only to push you somehow even further. It entertains him if he can play with your orgasm, only allowing you to come when he wants you to.

L = Location (favourite place to do the do)

His preferred place is his chambers, there's everything that might be needed for your time together, and he can hide from the public there. If he really doesn't want anyone to know about his business with you, he'll take you to his favorite brothel, where it's easy to buy sealed lips, blind eyes and deaf ears.

M = Motivation (what turns them on?)

Aegon has a dirty mind, he can get going almost by anything you do, because in his mind every move of yours can be turned into something erotic for him. Once you attended a hunting with him and that night in his tent there wasn't much of sleeping – he barely could concentrate on the task ahead of him during the hunt; seeing you mount your horse it was similar how you use to ride him, so when the Sun finally drove down he made you ride his cock over and over again.

N = No (something they won’t do, turn offs)

He would like to embarrass you in any case, nor to reveal your relationship to the people around him. He cared little for their comment, but he knew it would be different towards you, who were not protected by royal titles. Anything that could seriously be dangerous is out of the window, he doesn't want you to get hurt because of him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

The prince is generous in giving, just as much as he likes receiving it, therefore one of his most prefered solutions for this case is to have you on top of him, his face buried in your juices as he eats you out, while you're leaning down, sucking his cock. With this position he likes to take control over your moves, if he nudges you forward both of you will feel the effect of it.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual)

Aegon often loses himself in the act, chasing more wanting to feel more from it, so he- indirectly- will increase speed over time, until it becomes so intense you wonder how the bed is still in one piece under you. He can be gentle, but Aegon tends to lean into a bit rougher category, if not with touches, then with his demanding speed.

Q = Quickie (their opinion on quickies, how often, etc)

He's down for a quick fuck anytime. Sneaking you out of a celebration to have you bend over a table in the kitchen after he ordered everyone out? Yes.

Grabbing you by the wrist to pull you away, pushing you down to your knees to push his cock down your throat? Yes.

Fingering you until you're shaking while walking in the gardens? Yes.

Pushing you onto his cock, to ride him while the two of you travel by carriage? Yes.

He'll fuck you anytime if he sees a chance to it, somewhat keeping it secret from the people around you as much as he can.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks?)

If it won't endanger either of you or your image at court, Aegon is ready for anything. Most likely he will be the one to propose a new position, a new way, a new game that he knows of, but will hear you out and do anything you want to do. He won't push his agenda on you too harshly, but you need to be prepared, because he lets go of his desires very slowly and can be rather pushy for what he wants.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go? how long do they last?)

As much as his body lets him. He wants to fill you as many times as he's able to, but if his cock isn't ready yet for another round, he'll make up for it for you with his hands or tongue, making you cum for him as many times as possible.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on their partners or themselves?)

He won't oppose them, but he prefers to use them on you rather than on himself. At one point he would want to try fucking you're ass with a dildo, while he's cockwarming your pussy, just to see how long you can take it. He's not that enthusiastic about ropes and bondages, it holds down too much motion for his liking.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He likes to tease and edge, it makes him amused how you struggle under his touch for release, and will be thrilled if you want to tourcher him with your teasing. He can do cockwarming for quite a long time, not letting you move on his dick until he orders otherwise. Seeing you pout and whine, and struggle is so much fun for him, and he thinks you look adorable.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make)

When he's deep inside you, or his tip hitting the back of your throat; you will hear the sluttiest moans from him. Aegon is very vocal, moaning and panting instructions, orders and praises and when he's near his release he'll heave and grunt in such ways it makes your cunt throb with need.

W = Wild card (random headcanon)

He wants to come on your face so badly. Aegon often fantasizes about cumming on your pretty face, his seed spilling down from your cheeks after you sucked him off. It would look so arousing, but he's too afraid to ask you about it, thinking it's too much even for you to do. Therefore when you give him a head and he's near coming, Aegon closes his eyes to imagine him pulling out of your mouth with a wet pop, only to release all over your face.

X = X-Ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Aegon is around 14 cm but what he might lack in length, his thickness will compromise it. His cock when fully erect, curves upwards slightly, but that just makes it easier to hit your spot when you're on all fours for him. His veins can bulge out prominently, you can feel them throb when you're still caressing him even after he's fully hard.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Aegon is the perfect man if you have a high libido, because he has an enormous amount of it as well. He will want to have you all the time, to touch you, hear you, smell you, taste you. He acts almost addicted to you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

Because he put almost all of his energy into sex Aegon will fall asleep like you hit his head with a rock. After you settle down in the bed, and he cuddles you up, you soon hear his soft snoring, his weight completely put onto you, but it's not uncomfortable, rather calming.

[shinidamachu]

This isn’t a reply to anything you posted, unless you talked about this before, but sort of a fact that I wanted to share: Even until the late 90s, it was normal for fathers to wait outside in the halls while the mother gave birth in Japan. (That might still be the norm, I haven’t visited Japan recently.) I’ve been to some hospitals that didn’t even have a proper waiting room, the husband just waited outside the building or got sent home until they’re called back by the nurse.

So I’m about 50/50 on whether Kagome wanted Inuyasha by her side while giving birth to Moroha. I prefer that he would be by her side, but it’s one of those cultural things. On the other hand, InuKag defy the norm so this is all moot and they do what they want lol

It's like you said: Inukag defies the norm. Inuyasha particularly doesn't seem to care about social rules at all, being a transgressor and a "transgression" of those rules himself.

I find it hard to believe he wouldn't be by her side, especially if Kagome wanted him to be and I pity anyone brave enough to try and stand on his way.

And honestly? Why wouldn't she want him there? It's a very scary experience and they've been each other's physical and mental support for their entire journey.

It feels sily to deny themselves the comfort of going through this milestone together just because of some made up cultural rules when they literally defied time and space to be reunited again.

[graniteknight]

Season 1 variants of the knights were so sily, because they show how much they’ve all matured.

Comparing S1 - S3 clay is such a random comparison I can make, but his maturity from being uninterested in his teammates, and focusing on the main mission, changing to making sure his teammates are his top priority is probably such a big difference, making sure his teammates are prepared for him to turn to stone, and even having (questionable) humour, really shows how he’s genuinely warmed up to them all.

His willingness to take up a sort of acting role in, “in his majesty’s secret service”compared to “the golden castle” also says something about how he’s slowly learnt how to cooperate outside of battle too, (even if his acting still sucks lmao).

I get that in s1 he was quite pushy because he had lost his mentor / uncle and his best friend in the same time frame etc, but his change from this to someone trying to be there for his teammates no matter what says a lot to me. (heck even in ep 17 when he joined the others in making stupid faces was kinda cute too, makes you remember they’re all just “teenagers”sometimes.)

He may be stubborn and stuck up sometimes, but he really does care for his teammates ALOT.

Scarlett looked over herself in the mirror, ensuring she was presentable enough for Mesa’s friends. She stared at the bags under her eyes with malice, but she would have to make do with them; After all, they were a price to pay for hanging out with Mesa. Her coffee machine dinged, prompting her to pour the fresh pot into a large bottle, hoping that it would be enough to last her through the day. She looked around at the tiny apartment that she and her mom lived in; It was still messy, even after how much time Scarlett had spent trying to make it have any resemblance of tidiness. The door clicked open as Scarlett let out a long anxiety-ridden sigh. 

Scarlett found Mesa standing directly underneath the ceiling fan, desperately trying to cool himself off. His entire body perked up as he saw Scarlett push her way through the door to the stairwell. “Scarlett!” His tail wagged quite violently and he started bouncing on the tips of his toes, “My first favorite person is going to meet my other three favorite people! It’ll be great!”

“I’m excited to meet them, especially after everything you told me that they’ve done.” The two stepped outside and Scarlett instinctually threw out her wings, ready to launch into flight. She paused for a moment as she remembered Mesa. “Wow.” She laughed, “I always fly to where I need to go. I never really noticed how much I do it.” She tucked her wings back into place as she hastened her pace to catch up to Mesa.

Scarlett’s heart rate grew with every step closer to the light blue house at the end of the block. She always struggled with meeting new people, and being seen as potentially dangerous didn’t do her any favors either. She found solace in how Mesa described his friends, always depicting them as kind and friendly within the stories he tells. The two walked up to the house together and Scarlett immediately recognized one of Mesa’s friends. 

“Oh hey! I didn’t know you were Mesa’s friend!” She called out to Sili, who was lounging in a lawn chair on the driveway like usual.

Mesa encouraged Scarlett, noticing her previous discomfort, “You already know one of my friends! That’s a good start!”

“Y’know,” Scarlett started, “You’re the only customer, besides Mesa, who comes in at the off-hours of the night.”

“Oh yeah, the Dragon I live with gets really weird cravings when she’s writing, so it's mostly my job to fetch those for her.” “*Ooooh,*” The gears inside Scarlett’s head finally clicked into place, “Wow. I just thought you were some kind of freak after you bought out *all* of the hot dogs in the display. I seriously questioned how you could stomach so many, especially when I could only get through half.”

“I tried one of them and nearly puked,” Sili said through giggles, “I’m convinced they’re almost all fat with barely any meat in them.”

Scarlett joined her in her laughter, “Judging from the back of the packaging, I don’t think there’s anything close to meat in them at all.” She wiped a tear from her eye and tried to calm herself down from laughing so hard, “Oh right, introductions, I’m Scarlett the Chira.”

Sili responded in deep, panting breaths, “Sili the Kobold. Nice to meet you!”

Ember and Delilah snickered to themselves as they walked up to the others. Scarlett could feel a faint magical presence coming from him, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary as he looked like just a normal Eleken. “Hi! Mesa said you were coming over. I’m Ember the Eleken, and this is Delilah the Yunai,” He gestured over to Delilah. “What’s your name?” “Scarlett, Scarlett the Chira.” “Nice to meet you. Hey, want to see something cool?” Ember asked as a smile started to creep along his face. 

“Sure!”

The flesh melted from Ember’s face, revealing his authentic appearance as a Cursed Eleken. Scarlett reacted before the spell could fully dissipate in his neck, landing a solid punch right across his cheek and sending Ember’s skull tumbling to the ground. 

Scarlett’s voice became frantic as she tried to apologize, “*I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.*” She covered her face in embarrassment. “Told you it was a bad idea,” Delilah said, speaking to Ember’s now dislocated skull as it rolled back to his body.

Ember righted his skull in its place on his skeletal neck before responding, “Don’t try to high-horse me, you encouraged it.” He addressed Scarlett, who was trying to make herself as small as possible, “Hey. I’m sorry, that was a cruel joke.” His mood lightened as he saw Scarlett start to open up, “Hell! That was the hardest anyone’s ever punched me! You got a strong arm!” “You’re… Glad about that?” “Honestly? I deserved that punch. And plus, It’s not like I can feel pain in my skull anyways.”

“Yeah, sometimes we kick it around for fun when we’re bored, so no hard feelings, okay?” Delilah said, trying to comfort Scarlett

“Okay,” Scarlett said shyly. She took a long sip of her coffee to steady her breathing and to make sure she could stay awake. 

“What are you drinking?” Sili asked.

“Oh, Coffee, it helps me stay awake when I do outings like this.” “Oh right, Chira are nocturnal, aren’t they?” “Yeah. Which makes socializing a pain. And getting a job too, but fortunately, I got the night shifts at the convenience store.”

“Really? I mean it makes sense, but it’s just kinda surprising.” Ember added, “How’d you know that Sili?”

“There’s not a lot on the Chira and what their society is like, so I get most of my knowledge from my dragon.”

“How does your dragon know so much?” Scarlett asked, quite intrigued by this dragon Sili had taken up roost with.

“It’s part of her job as a history textbook writer, so most of what she learns I get to learn too. So in case you ever wondered how I knew so much about history, that’s why.”

“Wait, Sili,” Ember said, a bit dazzled by the new info, “You’re telling me that the dragon you live with writes the textbooks for our school?” “Yeah, Juniper the Sage. She’s also the reason why we get new textbooks for free every couple of years. She’s been researching as much as she could about Chira, so expect that to be taught in a year or two.”

Scarlett’s stomach growled, “I should head back home to rest and eat.” She started to partially speak out loud to herself, “I wonder if there’s still microwave dinners in the freezer.”

Mesa’s ears perked up and worry spread across his face, “Do you eat well at home?”

“No. My mother’s too busy with work to cook, and I can’t cook anything more than what goes in a microwave.”

“Oh, I didn’t realize you lived like that. Maybe I can cook you dinner sometime? It would be at night, so I guess technically for you it would be breakfast.” He turned to the others, “You’ll all be invited too of course.” 

“I… I would love that. I can take days off whenever I want, so just give me a date.” Mesa turned to Ember, his eyes now full of passion, “When’s the next full moon? If I’m going to cook I want all my friends to be able to enjoy it.” 

Ember looked at the sky, stopping all movement in his body as the flames within his hollow eyesockets slowly crept to consume his entire skull. His voice began to echo from every direction except where he stood, “The Raw Magic’s grasp will be weakest in 5 days’ time.” 

“W… Why is that important?” Scarlett asked, slightly spooked by the sight in front of her. 

Sili was the first to answer her question, “Cused Eleken like Ember can’t taste or smell unless it’s a full moon.”

“Why specifically a full moon? What does the Raw Magic’s grasp being weakened mean?”

“On full moons Cursed Elekens revert back to before they were cursed, meaning they properly have their heads back and can taste and smell. Basically, it makes it as though they were never cursed in the first place.” 

“Ah, okay!.”

“Hey Mesa, I’m sure Juniper would be more than willing to let you use her kitchen and ingredients as long as you make sure she gets some food as well.”

“That would be wonderful, if you can get confirmation on that then I’ll put it in my planner.”

Scarlett let out a yawn as she stretched back, raising her arms into the air. When she pulled them back down she tried to lick up as many drops of coffee as she could from the empty bottle. “I really should get going unless I want to fall out of the sky on my way back. See you guys later.”

“We’ll find you and get you to the hospital, don’t worry,” Delilah said jokingly. 

Scarlett said her goodbyes before launching into the sky, slowly gliding back to her apartment as fast as she could while she wrestled with staying awake.

Shana Cleveland Interview: Changing All The Time

Photo by Kristin Cofer

BY JORDAN MAINZER

When I speak to Shana Cleveland over the phone from Lawrence, MI, I can clearly hear birdsong in the background. It’s fitting, I tell her, given that we’re speaking about her terrific new record Manzanita (Hardly Art), an album deeply embedded in nature. “I’m always outside,” Cleveland says. Yet, listening to the record repeatedly over the past month and then speaking with Cleveland, it’s abundantly clear that nature is more than a character, far from a protagonist. It’s all-encompassing in its complexity, beautiful, harmful, and chaotic.

The La Luz member wrote Manzanita after relocating to rural California with her partner Will Sprott, a multi-instrumentalist who plays on the record. During its writing and recording, Cleveland was pregnant with their first child and ultimately gave birth. Then, at the beginning of 2022, she was diagnosed with and successfully treated for breast cancer. She began to see nature--the very thing she viewed as a balm--as much more random, a fetus living inside her, then a disease, all while she and her loved ones lived among, or within, the outside world. Even small patterns turned her perspectives upside down, watching bugs make their way inside her home in the spring. (“The wasps are crawling in our rooms,” she sings on Manzanita closer “Walking Through Morning Dew” atop appropriately buzzing instrumentation.) Thus, when Cleveland describes being pregnant and giving birth as a psychedelic experience, it’s not anything like a drug trip, but a radical reinvention of her worldview and self-perception.

Manzanita seems like a difficult album to perform, conceptually just as much as instrumentally. Tomorrow night at Old Town School of Folk Music, Cleveland headlines with a full band. (She opens for Destroyer at SPACE in Evanston on Saturday.) Alongside her will be Sprott on synths and keyboard, drummer Geneva Harrison, and Luke Bergman on pedal steel. She’ll rely on Sprott and Bergman to cover the sounds of not only the various instruments used on the record, like dulcimer, glockenspiel, and harpsichord, but for the sonic immersion required to  recall the tactility of nature and subsequently captivate an audience. Below, read our conversation, edited for length and clarity, where we talk about Manzanita, Cleveland’s live approach, and her ever-changing relationship with nature.

Since I Left You: Do you know how you’re going to adapt the Manzanita songs to a live set?

Shana Cleveland: I played a show for the record release at Bandcamp in Oakland. I had most of the musicians from the record there: upright bass, drums, pedal steel, synth. [It was] a really cool atmosphere. There’s something about the pedal steel and the synth together: A lot of times, they’re doing really similar parts or even the same part, and it creates a thick eeriness. I expect that will be present in this new lineup as well.

SILY: Do you generally find figuring out how you’re adapting songs live as artistically rewarding as writing and recording them in the first place?

SC: I do. It’s not my strong suit. I’m not great at giving directions. I have this idea in my head, and I never went to music school, and the only way I can describe things is through feelings, emotions, and overly poetic metaphors. It doesn’t work with everybody. I have to work with people that are really good. [laughs] It’s kind of how I try to approach recording, too. The people who are “good” are people who I know really well who get where I’m coming from already and know that I don’t know much theory, and [they] don’t need me to describe things in technical ways to get my point across.

SILY: That you’re giving musicians more abstract guidance, does that often lead to pleasant surprises or unexpected interpretations of what you’re telling them?

SC: It often does. I like that element of surprise. I feel like I’m never gonna be one of these musicians that’s like, “I recorded everything on this album!” That’s the secret ingredient to my music: working with people who are going to add their own spin.

SILY: Manzanita, specifically, has very introspective songs set in specific times or places. How do you approach mentally or emotionally sharing that with a crowd of people?

SC: [Between my solo career] and La Luz, I feel like La Luz is a little less introspective, though those lines are blurring recently with the last La Luz record. I try to be as present as possible. I want to inhabit the same emotional spaces I was in when writing. It feels like cheating the audience if I don’t. It’s more satisfying to me. Sometimes, I’ll tear up when I’m playing. I’m a way more sensitive person now than I was 3-4 years ago. It feels good to be genuine and to get to those places. It’s not hard to get personal and intimate with an audience. For some reason, it feels like the most natural thing to do when performing live.

SILY: A lot of the sounds on the record are referential to or inspired by nature, as is the record in general. How do you approach that aspect live?

SC: I think [that’s] why I wanted to do the full band for every show. The atmosphere of the synths and the pedal steel is key to bringing an element of nature to a live show.

SILY: It seems like your relationship with nature is ever-changing because nature is such a vast, unknown entity. Has that relationship changed further since you wrote and recorded Manzanita?

SC: It’s changed really dramatically. When I wrote this record, I was in the headspace of just having given birth, an initial awakening to seeing myself being part of nature rather than in nature. In between then and now, I had cancer, and that was a huge step further in that direction of realizing, “I’m not in control. I’m changing all the time.” Some things are sort of under your control, but most things for me feel very out of control. I’ve had to come to a place of acceptance of that, which has been very liberating and terrifying.

SILY: You describe being pregnant and giving birth as a psychedelic experience. Do you still feel that way, and is that mindset something you’d use to describe other experiences you’ve had since then?

SC: Yeah. That was what excited me about pregnancy and birth. I’m not one of these girls that played with dolls and dreamed about having a baby myself. A lot of women do grow up seeing themselves as mothers. It wasn’t something I was ever really interested in. I think it’s because of the way motherhood is portrayed in our culture. I saw it as a sacrifice, and of course it is a sacrifice, but it’s [portrayed as] a lot of pastel colors, cute stuff, and sacrifice. What was really exciting for me when I became pregnant was how crazy it was. I felt totally out of control. The world was totally new, which was so exciting to me as an artist. I thought, “Why didn’t anyone tell me about this aspect of motherhood, where everything is so strange, cool, terrifying, and weird?” I really wanted to explore that side with the album.

SILY: I feel like the way you talk about nature is similar, the idea that it’s something we can’t control and has qualities as powerful as a forest fire and as fulfilling as its sheer beauty.

SC: You talk about “going for a walk in nature” as a peaceful, safe way to unwind. I was a poetry major at Columbia College in Chicago and was never interested in nature poetry when I was in school. I thought it was so boring, talking about trees and the wind, even though I loved nature. I never really examined why I wasn’t interested in nature poetry even though I loved being in nature. Certainly, since moving to the country, [I’ve become more interested,] seeing [things like] a rattlesnake kill a lizard before my eyes and then beheading that rattlesnake because I was pregnant and afraid it would come for my baby. Just the harshness of nature, the extreme darkness you’re confronted with in the country is similar to the brutality of birth.

SILY: Has your relationship with this record changed now that it’s out and people are listening to the songs and developing their own relationship with them?

SC: I’ve talked a lot about my feelings about the music. I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to others about it. I’d be totally interested.

SILY: Are you always writing new material, or do you have set times of your life when you write?

SC: I really like to group it all together, to get into a real place of concentration with one album idea. Usually, I kind of work like that. I’ll be writing this one album, concentrating on this one idea, spending a few months in that place. Some things, I do over a longer period of time. I have a record I’m working on that’s just guitar and vocals, and I don’t want to add anything to it, because I feel like the songs are asking for that. I’ve been working on it for a year, and it’s something to come back to when I’m not working on other projects.

SILY: Is there anything else next for you?

SC: We have a La Luz record pretty much done. We’re in the early stages of getting it finished, mastered and everything. It feels pretty fresh and exciting to me right now.

SILY: Anything you’ve been listening to, watching, or reading that’s caught your attention?

SC: Oh my god, I don’t want to talk about what I’ve been watching. I’ve been reading [Vladimir] Nabokov, which I come back to a lot. I pick a novel I’ve never read before, and it takes me a million years. His books are so dense and poetic, I just linger over one sentence for 10 minutes.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Mort Garson and synth music, which was something I wasn’t that interested in before the last couple years. I always come back to Stevie Wonder’s albums from the early 70′s. I was just putting a playlist together of my favorite nature songs, and I thought, “I really want to put some Stevie Wonder on here!” but I looked through my favorite records of his and realized there’s no nature at all. [laughs] I wonder if that’s because he’s blind, that he’s just writing about feelings and conversations, but not so much about nature. Not very visual. Makes sense.

[anashins]

hi hi!! since i’m sending this request on the day of smtown concert, how about idol!jaehyun x idol!reader who are in a secret relationship 😼 backstage they’re all lovey dovey but onstage idol!reader keeps it discreet but jaehyun makes a move or something on the final stage and fans end up shipping them anyway lol

Paring: idol!Jaehyun x idol! reader

Genre: fluff, suggestive

Word Count: 1k

A/N: Doing this first before the momentum of yesterday's concert passes. Hope you like it 💖

You were holding tightly onto Jaehyun’s muscular arms as his fingers pressed gently into your thighs. His forehead was resting on your shoulder, his thrusting motions slowly coming to a standstill as his once hitched breathing went back to a regular rhythm as well. When he raised his head, you smiled at each and giggled.

“Hopefully, we won’t miss our stages now,” you commented and hopped from the makeup desk when Jaehyun stepped back. 

While he pulled up his jeans and closed the belt around his waist, you also dragged your skirt back up to have it sit around your waist. It had shorts that were sewn in and which had turned it into quite a challenge to do it here in the makeup room with only little time left as the clothing couldn’t just be tugged aside easily.

Sleekening the fabric around your middle, you checked your appearance in the mirror behind you one last time in case your disheveled hair or smudged lipstick could give away what you had just done backstage. But you had kept it discrete and quick as always, so there was nothing for you to worry about.

“Are you nervous?” 

Jaehyun sneaked up to you from behind and wrapped his arms around your middle, gently pressing you into his secure hug. He was way taller than you, so having you in an embrace gave you the kind of comfort nobody else could. Partially also because he was your boyfriend. After months of dating, you still couldn’t believe it. 

Jaehyun kissed the side of your neck and you chuckled. “A bit, yes. This is my first stage without my group members. Is it sily?”

Your fingers curled into each others’ and you shifted your head aside to let him place a kiss on your lips. “You’ll be fine,” Jaehyun then encouraged you. “Even I catch our seniors praying backstage sometimes.”

This actually made you laugh out loud, infecting him. But your laughters got immediately interrupted as the door to the makeup room suddenly swung open and in walked Ten who then leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

“I’ve waited for too long, are you two done already? I forgot my phone here.”

You blushed a bit, but only murmured, “Sorry.” while Jaehyun rolled his eyes and shook his head in response. “Shut up, I’ll get it for you.”

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re up with me in the next fifteen minutes,” Ten directed at you. “You don’t wanna be late to let me carry the whole show, right?”

“I’m coming!” You wound yourself out of Jaehyun’s arm and wanted to walk past his group member, but Ten held you back by your arm.

“Your lipstick is smeared. Right there.” He pointed to the upper corner of your lip.

“What?!” You hurried back to the mirror to inspect your face, but found nothing while in the back, Ten cackled like an old hag.

“Stop fooling around, will you?” Jaehyun warned him playfully and thrusted the phone into Ten’s hand.

“I’m sorry, but you make it so easy for me. See you up there!”

When he was gone, you turned back to Jaehyun. “I would say please punish him, but we’re both main dancers and have a mutual stage coming up, so I don’t think now is the right time.”

Jaehyun cupped your face and pressed a kiss on your lips, heartening and promising. “You’ll be doing great.”

You had no reason not to believe him.

_

And in the end, Jaehyun was right. You did great, with your group and during the mutual stage with Ten, all the screams indicated exactly that. You knew that, after this stage, people would go on about you and Ten as there had been a bit of slight touching, but you didn’t mind as it drew all the attention away from who you were actually dating.

Ten was safe for you to interact with as you professionally worked together, but to Jaehyun, you had no official connection to at all, so you held each other at an arm’s length to not raise any suspicion, especially during such big events.

Longing gazes were exchanged nonetheless when you were on opposite ends of the stage, your arms brushing gently against each other whenever you passed, but your eyes averted. The trick was not to be too obvious, but oftentimes, you caught yourself staring at him a bit too long, and him standing next to you a bit too close.

If it were for Jaehyun, you would be a bit more obvious, but you were adamant about keeping your relationship discreet and not raise any suspicion on the fans’ side to protect you both.

That was why you were taken aback when Jaehyun, who usually only interacted with his own band despite all the others mixing together, walked straight up to you during the ending stage. That was totally out of your arrangement, and you were rendered motionless right there and then.

“You have confetti in your hair,” he told you, smiling. “Here, let me help you.”

With a deliberate, but tender gesture, Jaehyun lifted his arm and picked a garland of confetti that had gotten stuck out of your hair. 

“What are you doing?” you asked him, barely moving your lips to not give away any expression in case cameras were directed at you.

“I don’t want them all shipping you with Ten, you know. And after today, they would.”

“Jaehyun… are you jealous?” 

“Just let me pick the confetti out of my junior’s hair like the gentleman I am, so they can all swoon about our height difference and how much of a great pair we would make, better than you and Ten.”

He walked away and back to his band members, but not without winking at you in secrecy, and you also went your own way as though nothing had happened at all. 

You had stood in the far back, so you didn’t even know whether someone had caught this moment on camera. You only saw the next day, one single fantaken photo with Jaehyun’s hand on top of your head while you squeezed your eyes shut. 

It blew up more than the professional photo during the stage with Ten.

[kaleidoscopic-quiddity]

things i really loved about episode 10

(in no specific order because i can’t choose a single favourite thing) 

the fact that homophobia is still nowhere to be found in bad buddy! i was worried it was gonna become a thing in the plot now that the parents have found out about pat and pran but i was happily surprised. i know stories about homphobia and the real lived experiences of mlm are both important and relevant, and absolutely deserve to get told, but its just nice to see a queer story that’s still engagingly  dramatic without needing to use bigotry to create said drama 

ink and pa getting together!!! congratulations lesbians i am so proud. i was kinda worried that inkpa would remain as just a teased relationship that would never actually come to anything but im so happy that bad buddy took the plunge and had them explicitly state their feelings for each other, and in the cutest and sweetest fuckin way possible 

pa’s coming out scene with pat. i love that a big deal wasn’t made of her sexuality, no ‘have you always liked girls?’, no ‘ but i thought you were straight?’, just pat being a supportive big bro and telling her ‘you like anyone you want’ 

bad buddy once again subverting old and tired BL tropes by having the whole ‘unsupportive parents find out about their sons’ relationship’ bring pat and pran closer together, not split them apart in a dumb last minuet breakup for extra drama

speaking of the parents: chai was the underrated king of this episode, whilst i do thing he couldve done more to support pran and stand up to dissaya, i love that he was aware of pat and pran’s relationship and was chill and supportive about that, especially since in the BLs its usually the father’s who are the most vitriolically homophobic 

korn blatantly fucking flirting with wai, i was laughing my way through that entire scene and im so happy pat and pran’s friends are finally getting along 

pat declaring his love for pran in front of the entire architecture faculty, we stan a lovestruck himbo 

all the fucking allusions to marriage/engagement this episode??? like i see you  👀 you aint subtle  👀

bad buddy clowning on dumb BL tropes yet again by directly making fun of the ‘they’re in love but are actually secretly brothers thing’, i just love how clear the production and actors are about how they find stuff like that just as stupid as we do

pat and pran’s visit to the high school being interspersed with ‘aw babe you had a crush on me? thats so embarrassing’ ‘we’re dating’ ‘still’ vibes, i completely love how even tho theyre together now pat and pran still love teasing each other and competing over sily things like who fell first 

god i know it was a heart breaking scene but pran breaking down in pat’s arms really speaks to his character development, the fact that he no longer feels like he has to hide his pain and that he willing lets himself be supported by someone who loves him, i was also totally crying

also!!! pat’s silent tears? the way he was clinging to pran just as tightly as pran was cling to him?? the head/neck caressing? the ‘lets get away from here?’, my heart hurt so much i was literally clutching my chest 

the fact that wai finding out pa already liked someone (and that that someone was a girl) wasnt used to create another jealously plotline or to make wai into a sexist/lesbophobic/incel antagonist but was instead a comedy beat was so relieving for me

pran standing up to his mum had me cheering out loud, hes literally come so far in these 10 eps

and the fact that what she’s done to him, plus the fact that she hit him, wasnt played off as just ‘oh thats how asian/strict parents are’ or ‘well it wasnt even that hard of a slap’ but was instead clearly shown as something serious and genuinely detrimental to pran 

he was only there for one scene but korn stole this episode for me, literally every moment hes on screen is hilarious and drake brings such a fun energy to his character 

pran’s love song!!!! nanon’s singing voice is so beautiful and im betting now a complete version of the song is going to be used during a big romantic moment (perhaps a proposal???) 

its little thing but the way that ink, a taller and older upperclassman giving gifts to pa and flirting with her is very clearly shown as cute and flirtatious and well received by pa, not as a creepy or predatory behaviour, bad buddy rlly said ‘we’re gonna have our sapphics be just as dorky and sweet as our main boys’ 

the fact that dissaya and ming’s dispute wasnt over a bad break up, or being cheated on, or some other lowkey sexist reason (crazy ex gf trope anyone?) but instead was about a very real issue that effected dissaya’s future 

and, the fact that all of that is not used to excuse how she treats pran or to try and suddenly make her ‘sympathetic’ or ‘understandable’ in her awful parenting

this one’s technically episode 11 but pat asking ‘can i kiss you?’ is genuinely so important to me. itd be so easy to have a big dramatic scene where pat pulls pran into a surprise kiss and the music swells and blah blah blah but instead its shown that even in well established relationships consent is not only still important, but can be very sweet and romantic too

with the flowers (8)

part eight: the chaos within

pairing: suna x f!reader

summary: if a teacher had been the one to catch suna dangling on the edge of inarizaki’s roof, he definitely would’ve been in trouble. except it wasn’t a teacher that caught him, it was you—the school whore. yea, he’s starting to wish it was a teacher.

this is a retell of chapter six, but in y/n’s perspective the strikethroughs are supposed to be there re-read part six before reading this

one, two, three.

three hours seconds, he’s been staring at your house.

he’s not actually gonna come inside, is he? no, he thinks you house is pathetic.

he’s walking up the driveway; no now he’s on your path he’s on your path.

‘why are you here?’ “you’re here!” you stare smile at him, your eyes piercing into running along to the girl he brought with him.

more people, there’s more. run, get away. leave, go away.

“oh, and you brought—wait, is that your sister?”

it’s a stupid question. of course she’s his sister. now he thinks you’re stupid. you’re stupid you’re stupid, you’re stupid.

“my parents aren’t home right now, they thought i should bring her.” he scoffs replies.

he’s staring he’s glaring parents parents parents.

you stare at her pat her head, before closing the door moving aside to let them in. 

‘you coming was already too much.’ “don’t even worry about it don’t even worry about it,” you smile.

repeating sentences is pathetic weird. shut your mouth don’t do it.

send them away, show them you aren’t one to be messed with.

“i have a little sister you can play with!” you offer her your hand, and she hesitantly takes it. “don’t touch me.”

go away, go away please. leave us alone.

“hanakooo!” don’t come downstairs, stay upstairs please. strangers, they’re strangers you shouldn’t have brought here stay upstairs don’t come down stay upstairs don’t come down-

“this is aiko and suna.”

go back upstairs.

“look after aiko for me, okay?”

don’t get to close to this girl, hana. you don’t know her.

“how old is your sister?” suna asks, following you to the kitchen.

why does it matter to him?

“none of your business” “fourteen.”

it’s quiet it’s too quiet he’s gonna think you’re overthinking the question and that you’re being rude, you have to-

ask him back.

“same as yours?”

he nods.

hanako doesn’t do well with girls her age you shouldn’t have let that girl into your house especially not secluded in a room with your sister what if that girl hurts her what if she’s rude and hurts hanako’s feelings—

you make your way up the stairs and he follows you.

“don’t follow me.”.

-

laugh or he’ll think that you hate him.

you laugh again, so hard that you think you might throw up.

it’s quiet again, and you want it to stay that way. you want him to leave and allow you to bask in the silence peacefully, on your own. 

“why do you do it?” suna asks out of the blue, his back on your bed and his feet on the carpet, launching one of your stuffed toys into the air and catching it.

ignore him ignore him ignore him ignore him- “if you’re gonna ask a random question like that, i’m gonna need a little context, pretty boy.” you tease, jumping onto your bed and causing him to nearly fall off.

smile, smile, don’t let him pity you.

“’donate pussy for money’” he clarifies—and you want to drop dead—mocking your past statement. “why do you do it?”

‘why do you ask?’ “why do you ask?”

you weren’t supposed to say that out loud you were supposed to answer with a straight answer or else he’ll pity you he’ll think that you’re coming up with something to say because you’re pathetic and useless and—

“well i mean, you live in a perfectly stable house, your parents—” what will he say if i tell him that it’s only my mother will he pity me will he think i’m stupid will he-

 “—both have jobs, you have food, i don’t get why.”

of course he doesn’t get it, no one ever gets it.

tell him to mind his own business because you’re upset laugh because you don’t want him to think you’re upset.

he watches as you burst into yet another fit of laughter, holding onto your stomach as if you were in pain because you are, it hurts, everything hurts.

“i had dont have a dad.” you nudge him. “my dad committed suicide when he was seventeen—” too soon too soon too soon, change it now.

“—you know, jumped off of inarizaki’s roof.” better, much better better, much better.

suna frowns, furrowing his eyebrows. “that isn’t funny.”

that was insensitive that hit too close to home don’t let up so easily—don’t be a pushover you pathetic whore.

“oh come on, you know it is.” you look away smirk. “i wasn’t joking though, he really did commit. he wasn’t quirky enough to jump off a roof he wasn’t quirky enough to jump off a roof, but yea, he committed.”

you almost said it twice you almost said it twice.

he’s staring at you. did you say it twice? he’s gathering his thoughts.

he’s judging you he’s processing—this is a lot to process no it isn’t.

he’s gonna keep staring if you don’t do something let him.

“you look ugly when ur serious.” you admit, squishing his cheeks together. “ease up a lil.”

that was rude, take it back. that was sily; in a weird good way.

“straightforward much?” he licks the hand closest to his mouth, and you scream shriek, tearing yanking your hands away.

“i’m just saying!” you frown giggle, wiping your hand on his shirt. “it was way before i was born anyways.”

right, you forgot to add that. now he thinks you’re a traumatized freak.

“wait, but if he committed before you were born, then hanako—”

“has a different father, pervert, male, worthless-piece-of-shit, guy, person, asshole, dad, dad, dad, but he took off a long time ago.”

and he better not come back he better not come back.

he’s not satisfied with the answer he’s not satisfied.

“i do this for her, you know?” you say, once you’ve both ended up laying side by side on your bed. 

for hanako, say you do it for hanako

“for hanako. i wanna send her to a college in the us.”

it’s half true it’s the truth.

“does your mom know? like about any of it?” no she doesn’t, she wouldn’t care she’d be really upset.

“why hooking though? aren’t there better and safer options?” 

because you’re used to it.

“you mean like working as a cashier?”

too many people it’s too many people they look at you and they know they know you’re filthy you’re disgusting it’s 

too many people.

“yeah.”

how to justify how to justify how to-

“you’re probably right.” you shrug. “i guess i just like the attention,” 

liar.

liar

liar

liar

liar

“i like that people like my body, you know?”

kill yourself.

shut up

shut up

shut up 

shut up.

“it’s one of my worst best traits.”

its hell, i want to get away i want to get away.

die die die die

die.

notes:

—  i hope this gives a little insight into how much is going on in y/n’s head

—  it’s just utter chaos and jumbled words and thoughts and things that don’t make sense and things she wants to/can’t/doesn’t know how to say; so if this was confusing or hard to understand, it’s supposed to be like that

—  again, if you didn’t re-read chapter six, i recommend you do; the chapters are the same but the different perspectives change everything.

Shock Collar

Alex comes across a proxy and uses them to his advantage

Similar to "Double Trouble" where Alex and Pawn team up. They would make a great team if Alex wasn't more likely to kill them on sight, but it would definitely have toxic elements 💀

Back to Contents || Back to One-shot Contents

Voices… Alex paused his patrol of the burned out hospital. For a moment the man thought he’d been imagining it but as he slowly began walking again the sound picked up again. It got louder and more distinct, two voices being made out from harsh whispers. He readied the gun in his hand and pressed against the wall, listening as he assessed the best time to attack. 

“If they’re in this place, they’re probably infected.” And if they weren’t, they would be soon. It was best to take care of it before the sickness worsened. 

“I say we take out this source and get it over with.” A male’s voice grumbled. 

“And I say we follow him. There could be more.” A scoff before the second voice continued. “You shouldn’t even be here. You’re not a proxy. This isn’t your job—I shouldn’t let you get involved.” 

A source? Alex inhaled sharply at the terms being thrown around. Were they hunting Jay and Tim too? Or… were there others he didn’t know about? “There’s one they followed here…”

Something told him that it wasn’t the man in the hoodie. Alex waited a few more seconds as they argued before slipping into the doorway and shooting. The first shot had missed but his second hit a lean blond man in the chest. His third shot crippled the masked figure, piercing into their thigh as they rushed to defend their partner.

“Zac!” The figure in the mask hovered over the dying man, trying in vain to stop the bleeding. Spotting him, they let out a feral growl and got into a fighting position.

He raised the gun again, giving an irate sigh when it clicked; he’d forgotten to reload it from the previous use when he’d gone after Hoody. Alex changed tactics, spinning the weapon around before slamming it into the masked person’s temple. They crumpled to the ground, not dead but it’d buy him time to find something he could kill them with. The other guy—Zac—wouldn’t be an issue much longer. 

“Hey…” The man coughed, his voice gargled with blood. Alex realized Zac was laughing. “Can’t… can’t kill a proxy… th… that ea…sily.” 

“What’s a proxy?” it seemed important, from the sound of it different than a source, but Alex didn’t see what the man was getting at. “You sure about that? You look fucked.” 

Zac grinned with blood stained teeth and shook his head just enough to be noticeable. “Y-you’re… dea…ad…” 

A deep, gurgled gasp of breath and the man was gone. Alex stared for a moment before his eyes fell on the masked figure. He needed to kill them before they woke up… or he should do that. But hesitation stopped him. There was no reason to trust the ramblings of a dying stranger but if they did have information, he still had one left to pry it out of. 

They woke up a few minutes later. Alex watched from the opposite side of the trashed room, grinning as they struggled momentarily against the ropes and wire he’d found scattered about to tie them up. He tossed their mask to the ground and stomped down, hearing the satisfying sound of the plastic breaking—if only that had been Tim’s face. Perhaps this one knew of the other two and he could kill three birds with one stone. Finding Jay after wouldn’t be too difficult.

“Who are you?” Despite his icy tone… the woman laughed, though it was broken and crazed. Alex gritted his teeth. “Answer the question!”

“You going to torture me? I’ve met HABIT, nothing you do will ever compare.” 

“What does this have to do with habits?”  He shook the thought off and stalked over. “Are you a proxy? Or another source?” 

“You killed Zac.” The gleam in their eyes was full of malice. 

His fist connected with her nose, blood soon dripping down. Alex forced them to look up at him. “And I’ll kill you too if you don’t talk.” 

“You’ll kill me if I do. That’s what you sources do… Just a real murderous bunch… Like I’m one to talk.” They smiled, though it looked more like she was baring her teeth at him. “I’ve killed sources much worse than you.” 

Alex’s grip tightened but he was satisfied to be getting somewhere, even if they were clearly humoring him as if he weren’t prepared to put a bullet through their skull. “Is that what proxies do? Kill sources? What are they?” 

  “Depends… What’s asked of us. Sources are a plague to our boss, they help his enemy get stronger. So I kill them.” 

A brief silence. Alex backed off, contemplating this. He didn’t trust their words in the slightest but if it was true… Perhaps they could track down Tim and the others faster—more infected possibly! He didn’t like the idea of letting them go nor did he trust them not to kill him if they were so… willing to follow orders from their ‘boss’. Did they mean something like the tall thing in the suit or worse?  

“Get up.” He snapped, tugging them onto their feet and shoving them out in front of him as he headed for the car. 

Despite their injured leg, Alex noted they were still walking well enough. Grudgingly, he recalled the dying man’s warning; maybe it held some truth… or maybe the wound wasn’t as bad as he thought. 

“Run and I’ll kill you.” He circled to the trunk and reloaded his gun before digging out a subtle shock collar. It was originally going to be used on the hooded man as some payback for the trouble he’d caused and to get Jay and Tim’s location, but using it to force the information out of this ‘proxy’ and keep them under control would work too. 

“Not going to be so tough now, are you.” He stared at them, still uncertain about his plan to keep them alive. “I want to get rid of the other sources too. Any chance you’ll help me before you kill me?” 

“...Well, that’s a new one.” The new collar around her neck did little to curb their tone. “Still, I’m sure you’ve killed more innocents than actual sources. The Operator probably has your mind so twisted you can’t tell the difference.” 

“And you can?” 

“Thought we went over that.” 

“So, then, help me find them.” 

They shook their head. “No way. You just killed my friend.” 

He was tired of this. Impatiently, he tightened the collar around their neck to the point the prongs dug into their skin slightly. Pulling the remote from his pocket, he skipped the lower settings altogether and hit her with a higher one. The muscles in the proxy’s neck tensed and their head jerked while their legs wobbled as they tried to stay standing. 

“I guess I wasn’t clear. You are helping me put a stop to this.” And once she’d outlived her usefulness… He’d kill her too. From what he could gather, proxies didn’t seem much different and it was better to be safe.

Months passed by. Alex had grown increasingly stressed over each source they’d tracked and taken out. There were just so many more than he’d thought were out there. He was certain most had never been involved in the Marble Hornet crews’ lives. There was a fear that they’d never find an end to them—at least they were closing back in on Tim and Jay. Even with all the other infected they still remained his priority. Them and that guy in the hoodie.

“Wake up!” He barked the order to the scrawny figure lying on the bed as he put his blue striped jacket on—the sleeve cuffs had been permanently stained at this point, as if to emphasize just how much blood he had on his hands by now. 

They stirred but moved slowly, their green eyes looked darker than normal and had grown emptier with each murder they’d committed. He grumbled and hit the button on the remote until Pawn gave a yelp and squirmed, pulling at the collar. She’d never get it off, he’d made sure of that with a small but effective lock. 

“We need to find the next one before they move on, get up.” 

“No… no more… It’s too much.” Her voice was quiet.  

He turned it up to the maximum level and held the button down. There was a sick pleasure in watching the proxy jump and cry out. By now he knew they could take it and worse without too much long term damage. Letting go, he stalked over and pinned her by the shoulders as he glared down at her. “What did you say?” 

A pause, a defiant expression flickered across their features for a moment before being replaced by a defeated look. “...I said, let’s get tracking them…” 

“Good.” He raised a hand, watching them flinch before relaxing as he gave them a rewarding pat, brushing the hair from their face. A smug smile tugged at his lips as he took his time observing just how trained he’d made them—something not even The Operator, or Slenderman, could apparently do. “And she claimed proxies were ruthless killers. Nothing some shock training couldn’t fix. If other proxies are like this maybe she’s been lying.” 

He shifted onto the edge of the bed, still holding one of her shoulders down to signal Pawn to stay still before fiddling with the collar with his other hand. It had loosened with all the wear and tear but still fit well. Moving the device aside, he brushed against the two circular burn marks the frequent shocks had created. A hiss of discomfort met his ears at the touch. 

“Should switch sides soon, don’t want any permanent damage.” There was some guilt when he actually stopped to pay attention to his actions, which was rarer and rarer. Alex would never dream of doing something like this to Amy or his dog Rocky if they were alive. But when he’d learned Ash’s proxy name was such a demeaning name like Pawn? He’d used it constantly to keep himself detached from his reluctant partner. It worked well too. They were more of a tool for him to use than anything else. 

His hand trailed down as he mulled over his plans, feeling Pawn shuddered in anticipation of some form of attack before relaxing and leaning into his touch after lacking gentler gestures for so long. Alex sighed and got up despite enjoying the momentary power trip. He’d wasted enough time. “Let’s go.” 

Silent and obedient, the proxy followed him out.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

member of the ginkgo guild and has been for quite sometime, even since his mid-to-late teenage years. a well-known salesman, often noted for his chipper attitude and willingness to slide things under the table either with a reduced price or free of charge, if he sees a reason to. known equally to do deliveries for the clans and others outside jubilife, most notably gaeric of the pearl clan.

an avid buff of mythology and history. generally the person you would go to around jubilife if you have a question, seeing as he considers himself ‘[your] man to go to’ for that sort of thing. will talk your ear off about it if you get him started. known to lurk about ruins, and if someone can’t find him, they’re generally advised to look for him there.

he has a togepi and a gibble at some point. they are generally the pokemon one might see him the most around with and associate with him strongly.

in regards to the former, he’s known as a battle fanatic and generally someone who knows quite a lot about them, mentioning stories of both seeing plenty and engaging actively in them across various lands in which the guild has traveled. anyone who doesn’t know his full team is left to wonder how he does it with a togepi and a gibble, of all things, but... hey. huge, if true.

not the biggest fan of sweets. he won’t say no usually if you give him some, but he prefers other flavors of foods before them.

publicly perceived as someone who is lazy, off-beat, and carefree.

knows his way around hisui like the back of his hand, as is expected from guild merchants. keeps a map and compass on his person, so travelers will ask him for directions, as they’re familiar with the symbol and colors of his uniform.

hell of a throwing arm. good with kids and younger people, if i’m listing idle facts.

..... known as the curator of the Great Hisuian Coffee Lore, as my siliness of this blog has so decreed. you want beans? he’s your man.

SEMI-PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

he has a full team. your average joe might not know this, but anyone who he’s felt the need to go toe-to-toe with fully will. he usually rounds off fights to just two or three, maybe four pokemon, but there are general ideas of the pokemon he keeps based off bits and pieces and rumors. he doesn’t always show his full-hand, and if he shows certain pokemon outside of battle, it’s usually situational. one he keeps more hush-hush, however, is spiritomb. not completely so, but it’s the one he’ll bring out least / his “ace” in a fight, if he brings all six. this is done typically to throw his opponent off-guard, as is the same reason for sometimes keeping his team a mystery.

the creator of the backstrike technique. it’s a technique that is acknowledged, and something he has passed along to idle members of the galaxy team - including the protagonist - but not everyone knows it roots back to him.

he can read ancient languages usually found in old murals. this is only really known in a chance he’s been encountered in the ruins or if someone brings up that they’ve trouble deciphering something of old, and if asked about it, he laughs about how he was a very studious child, and late nights with the guild gave him plentiful time to read.

there’s a rumor that ginter and volo are related, as volo will idly tag on ginter’s surname as his own sometimes if asked. they are not. volo doesn’t feel any familial attachment to ginter ( once again It’s Complicated ), but it’s so that ginter is left with the responsibility of cleaning up his messes. cheeky asshole.

PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE.

he is the last few remaining celestica across hisui. the only ones who know this canonically are the protagonist post-post-game, and cogita. it isn’t something he’ll just bring up.

his lifespan runs longer than the average human’s, as is a trait of the celestica.

pre-to-mid-game, that he is closely in cahoots with giratina and manipulated them / commands them, but also that he is the one who used it to tear open the rifts in the sky to draw out arceus. as of post-post-game, only the protagonist, laventon and cogita, if vaguely, has an idea of it. though cogita has said she’s “heard of it”, it’s unsure if this spread via the ranks in the galaxy team via laventon, or through public word of mouth, or even if volo had some hand in mentioning it to her. i generally roll with the idea that post-his leave of jubilife after his defeat, volo in some capacity is known to have stirred up some kind of trouble involving what happened that fateful day on mt. coronet, and is regarded foully because of it. how heavily the details depends on your muse and a number of factors, but jubilife is a small village where word spreads quick, and rumors tend to flood out. anyone outside of it or in a different region entirely might be less likely, though. i’m generally up for discussing this, if you ever need!

given his immortality he seeks post-defeat, his findings in hisuain-sinnohan mythology and history go uncredited as the years roll by. he knows he discovered them, but his name is lost to time and erased, as is that of his people. his bloodline carries it on though.

the modern town of celestic town was founded by some of his descendants.

as of the future, modern verse... much, if nothing at all, is known about him other than he’s a traveling man who has seen the world and chases myths. some don’t even know his name by this point. but he sure acts the same.

KNOWLEDGE THAT HE ISN’T EVEN AWARE OF.

he is, or was, one of arceus’s chosen. he believes this with all of this delusions, though, wholeheartedly.

the fates play some part in why his Everything is so extreme.

he is doomed, no matter what, to fail.

the aura he emits, to those who can read it, is very intense.

hey sweetheart, hope you enjoy it!! thank you so much, your support means a lot to me🥺💖

warnings: none, just fluff?? this one is kinda big oopsie, this isn't reviewed bc im lazy, english is not my first language, so I'm sorry for any mistakes!

my masterlist ♡ join my sleepover!

I ship you with... Harry Potter!

you and Harry have quite a taste for getting in trouble

not really getting in trouble, just going on adventures and ending up getting in trouble

its as if you two had a magnetic for trouble inside of you

and that was how you actually met

you grew up hearing about the boy who lived

and how he defeated you-know-who when he was just a one year old baby

and how he brought peace and safety to the wizard world

it was impossible not to know who Harry Potter was

in your first year, the only thing you could hear about on the train were rumors that Harry was entering Hogwarts this year

and everyone was like mERLIN'S BEARD!!! ITS HARRY POTTER!!

and a lot of people were not so discretely pointing at the dark haired boy

or better, at his scar

the oh so famous scar

and you could cleary see how uncomfortable he was with all the sudden attention he was getting

so you decided to let him breath instead of observe his every more just like almost everyone was doing

anyways

you got sorted into Gryffindor!!

and you were so happy bc almost your whole family was from that house

and it was just so exciting!!!

Harry was a Gryffindor too and although you were housemates, you didn't really talk to each other

though you always knew what happened to him bc the news at Hogwarts spread faster than anything

ok so you officially met each other in potions detention:D

you didn't really do anything but Snape just doesn't like Gryffindors

or kids

or people in general

so you had to go to the dungeons after dinner

and when you entered the classroom, you actually thought you were in a regular class bc there were a lot of students?????

you recognized some familiar faces like Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, the Weasley Twins, Lee Jordan and Harry Potter and two Ravenclaw girls

you suppressed a laugh when you walked past Snape and saw his expression

and then you sat down on the only available place: right by Harry's side

you two made some small talks every now and then and quietly laughed at Snape

and after that night you two became friends :D

the next morning when you were having breakfast at the Great Hall

Harry shyly approached you and you two started talking

qne then he introduced you to his best friends: Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger

you befriended them too yay

okay

so you and Harry always hang out together sometimes

and after a year or two of you two just spending time together

Harry started realising that his feelings for you weren't platonic anymore, he saw you as 'something else'

and he got really awkward (yeah, more than he already is)

and you immediately noticed it bc like???? the boy could barely stay in the same room as you without looking like a tomato and saying the most random things ever???

and you tried to convince yourself it was just something random like puberty idk

because you may or may not had feelings for the awkward boy too

but you didn't want to think about it because you didn't want to feed your hopes bc c'mon

it's Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the youngest seeker of the century

why would he want someone like you?

bc you're amazing and you're the sweetest and a fantastic person who deserves all the love in the world pls don't doubt yourself

and Ron and Mione were so done with you and Harry being so oblivious

so they set up a plan to get you two to confess to each other

it worked and you're now dating :D

Harry always supports you, no matter what

but he wouldn't want you to get involved in the adventures he gets himself into bc they're too dangerous and he would never want you to get hurt especially bc of him :(

he loves it when you read to him while you cuddle in the common room (hes the small spoon and thats it thats a canon)

he also adores to watch you play guitar because omg you're amazing

he always listens to whatever you're talkinf about with a silly smile on his face

because you talk about it with such admiration and with such a beautiful, wide smile that it makes his heart beat like crazy

he's very shy and whenever you held his hand or kissed his cheeks/lips he would be like ohmygODSJDBDOSJDJSKSHDKDLSJDKD inside

which is adorable :((

this little bean is head over heels for you

you two always go on adventures together

and sometimes walk around the castle at night just to have some fun

Filch once almost caught you two lol

and you are the cutest couple in Hogwarts

ugh Harry is so sweet

this got enormous????? sorry kzkdjdkdk

~

I ship you with... James Potter!

you and James boy are the Hogwarts' troublemaker couple™

and everyone knows you two

because you and the boys are always pulling pranks and getting detention

Filch hates you lol

ok so you two actually went on your first because of a sily bet you made to see who pulled the best prank:

if you won, he would do all your homework for a few weeks

and if he won, you'd go on a date with him

guess who won :D

you accepted it as a joke

not really expecting it to turn into something else

but turns out you had a great time together!!

it was a Hogsmead trip so you went to almost every shop there

and he bought you a lot of candies despite you telling him he didn't need to

anyways

after that date, you both agreed on going out together more times

just to see what could happen

and it went perfectly fine

so you started dating :D

you are the cheesiest couple Hogwarts has ever seen

he loves pda

he's always holding your hand, hugging you or kissing you

no matter where you are

James is a very sweet and caring boyfriend

and he always supports you and your decisions

and he would never

i said never

pressure you to do something you don't want to or that you're uncomfortable with

he's a gentleman and wants you to be comfortable around him

you and the boys always hang out together bc you are besties™

you and James use his invisibility cloak to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night

or to go to the Astronomy Tower for a midnight date

you're always cheering for him during quiddich games

and you proudly scream at everyone around you that that boy with messy dark hair amd wearing glasses flying right up there was you boyfriend

because you're so proud of him:(

he loves it when you read to him

because your voice is so angelic and every word that leaves your mouth is like a song to him

he loves it when you play guitar because you're so talented and he thinks you're so perfect

and he's so in love with you

he'd do anything to make sure you're happy and alright

and he always makes sure that you're getting the right amount of food and sleep that you need

he always tells you jokes because you laugh so hard at them

and your laugh is the most beautiful and precious thing he's ever witnessed

James would do anything for you

i'm not even joking

the little shit would throw himself from the Astronomy tower if you ever asked him to

he gladly never did it because you're not crazy to tell the kid to literally kill himself right plis dont do it

anywAys

James Potter is the best boyfriend someone could ask for

change my mind about it💅

i think I'll stop here

it got way much shorter than Harry's bc i got a little too excited while writing it but yeah whatever jsjskdjdkd

[semi-imaginary-place]

im back in xaela naming hell. classical mongolian names rip. and I’m reading up on the tribes, so “Orben: A tribe that rides up and down the great inner river on boats woven from reeds and reinforced with scales from their own skin.“ implies that au ra shed scales. the image of the xaela im getting is one that is dynamic and always shifting. even with in the 51 clan names given we have this clan was recently created and so and so clan was recently destroyed. which really frees up roleplayers to make up their own clans. I wonder how long the Burn has been there, could be interesting to have a clan that historically lived there but has since dispersed

so 15th century mongolian. middle mongolian

altai river, Arigh pure

love that for them.

they’re actually going to be a wol so i suppose calling them pure light is a little much...

also intersting historical note in that in researching the people of central asia, a lot of terms for historical ethnics groups and other terms are in chinese and not the native languages. im guess this is because the chinese left the best kept records and also had an established written language. so i dont know what were the names these cultures had for themselves

Ariqai. why do so many of my characters have names that start with A. I like the sound of Esen. apparently turkic in origin meaning wind but theres some 1400 historical figures named that. lol there’s already 4 shilugei out there in eorzea. shame i liked it too. shiluukei . sube eye of a needle or strategic point. sileɣü-sü lynx (mid šile'usun google shilüüs ), sili back of the head mountain range. silmeɣü-sü  conifer needles (mod silmegüsü(n), silmügüsü(n), silbegüsü(n), silbüsü(n), silümüsü(n) ). siulu conifer tree root word, usu needle? google translate is also helpfully giving me züü for pine, shilmüüst for conifer

Silmuus, Shiulu, Silmuutz, Shilumuusn, Silmegus, Silmuzu, Shilumuz. Shilumus

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%BB%D2%AF%D2%AF%D1%81. lynx. silexüsün.  /ʃiɮus/ how is “ɮ” pronounced???? ...that’s not an “L”. they’re just borrowing the character its like a zh sound. nope the idiot who did the voice sample just said it wrong.

Zikeguun cold Khonkh bell

Honh. ok youtube and the ipa guidelines are telling me X has an h-ish sound. but now wikipedia is telling me its romanized as kh which is probably what’s going on in game like in Khagan. and im also getting a historical pronunciation of honghu so idk.

Shilumus, Shilugus, Shilesun, Shilusun, Shileoos, Shilegoos

Shilegus Khonkhu or Shilu for short
