#they’re really hard to render LMAO

Coming from ur drawing request post-

Can I suggest John with a lily flower crown ?

[angelshizuka]

Oooh okay okay, permission to be a little petty? This has been eating me up for a minute! On the topic of the helluva/hazbin redesigns: there are a lot of times in the critical side of this fandom where I’ll see people talking about what they would “fix” about the character designs, and like you said- some of the specifics people think they need to fix just…undermine the point of the character?? (I.e making Stolas big and burly) But it also feels like they’re ignoring that these characters look the way they do because they have to be ANIMATED. There’s been a handful of times I’ve seen people with that “fix it” attitude where they just waaaaay over complicate textures and shapes then say it’s so much better. For example some were saying Blitz’s design was bad because you can’t tell his burn scars were burn scars because the edges were too round. So they completely rendered the scars in their redesign and said they fixed it. I absolutely understand wanting to make detailed artwork. I LOVE detailing the hell out of a character in a drawing!! But to animate?? Especially with helluva where the spindle horse team doesn’t often outsource its animation?? I KNOW it’s silly but sometimes in passing I want to be like- ok. YOU animate your incredibly complicated redesign for a 20 minute animation at 24 frames per second. Then you get to handle the budget you’d need to get it finished and add in lighting/effects/etc. Then you ALSO get to handle the complaints from people who say episodes take too long to come out. Animation is a HUUUGE process! I feel like the work it takes to make it look so good is really taken for granted :,)

(I should be in bed so I hope any of this makes sense lmao I’m so sorry in advance!! Love your account your takes are so well thought out and you’re very funny <3)

Yes, thank you for your excellent point, I totally agree!

I mean, I will always defend CGI animation (I'm a firm believer all animation mediums are beautiful and valid), but I feel like it's spoiled people in how detailed a character's design can be. While part of the charm of 2D animation is how simplified lines can still get so much across.

It's been more than a decade since I studied animation and we only really did puppet animation, but even with that I quickly realized my designs could never be as detailed as when I just made a stand alone drawing (also, rip to my old animations that are lost to time, because my hard drive died a few years back...)

I'd honestly argue that for 2D animation standards the designs are really detailed. Maybe not for every character, but that's part of the beauty of it. Just like how in real life not all people dress all fancy and complicated, some people prefer simpler outfits, and they know how to make that come across in the character designs.

Especially Blitz is a prime example of being tailor made for 2D animation, that's also part of why some of the best facial expressions come from him, they know how to play around with his face shape. Regarding the scars, it's not just a 2D thing, it's the fact that imps scar differently than humans. So, again haters claiming they "fixed it" by completely ignoring lore.

(Aw, thank you! I try my best to put my thoughts into words and it helps make sense of whatever the hell is going on up there. I take a lot of pride in it, because my mother complimenting me on "knowing how to word things" was one of our last conversations before she passed.)

Wow rendering is hard! LMAO

Anyways, I really enjoy how this came out. Didn’t know what I was doing in the first half but we got there!

Anyways this is my blue alien elf, Cielan. You know em you love em. They’re pretty darn cool and they were the first one I made out of the current four lol

[judesmoonbeauty]

after reading your translations and your theories on jude’s rude (thank you for all of your hard work 🙏🏽) i am begging for a moment where kate leaves jude flabbergasted. we got moments where he was speechless for a second or where he had this gentle look on this face (i remember the first time i saw it i nearly lost my mind) but i need a moment where kate makes him blush!!! i don’t care how out of character that would be i just need ONE moment like that!!!

Aww, thank you! This just made my day. Right? The first time I saw his soft smile, I threw my phone because I was losing it lmao. Yeah about his blushes, he does blush for different reasons, they’re just really faint, but I’d love to see Kate totally go dom in his route and make him blush…..or maybe even with a soft confession scene and rendered speechless……damn we need his route.

[bronx-bomber87]

Happy Tuesday evening :) This is such a good one. Jealousy thy name is Lucy Chen is what this ep should be called. The Green eyed monster coming out real hard for her in this one. But then Lucy has no feelings for him right….

3x11 New Blood

Our ep starts out with our trio scoping the new rookies. Lucy talks to Katie first. Asking who her T.O. Is going to be? We find out Tim is her new teacher. Lucy is tying not to gush too much about him. Saying she will learn so much but trails off. Katie catches on that Lucy is burying the lead a little. Lucy fesses up Tim can be a little intense. HA You got him at his most intense dear Lucy. He was a radioactive trap ready to gobble her up at first. Then after that was mostly based on his intense need to make sure she succeeded.

Katie doesn't seem intimidated by this info but very appreciative of it. Lucy tells Barnes to reach out to her if she ever goes into a self doubt spiral. So sweet. Also she has a feeling that this new rookie will have one. It's Tim no way she wouldn't right? Gotta love her trying to help the new girl out though. Pre-warn her of what's to come. We all know how ‘Intense’ Lucy’s first shift was with Tim. So it’s very thoughtful of her to reach out and offer help if she needs it.

The jealously begins at the food trucks. Tamara is there with Jackson and Lucy. They’re talking about getting her set up in her new housing. Tim’s new rookie catches Tamara’s eye. She asks who Officer Zaddy is with? LMAO I remember having to look up what that meant the first time haha but it’s accurate to Tim. In case you need a refresher it means ‘Sexually attractive older man, who is charming and self confident’. That’s our Tim haha Yum.

Tamara asks how it feels to be replaced? Lucy shrugs it off saying she's glad Tim is torturing someone else. Ok honey we believe you..... That mindset lasts all of two seconds before Jackson points out he’s paying for her coffee. Lucy’s jealously begins here and doesn’t stop for the majority of this episode. She is intently watching and sees he’s letting her drive too. She is absolutely incensed by this whole thing. He’s also smiling while he’s paying for her coffee. Lucy is none too pleased about this. Her face says it all as they walk way. Jealously and resentment party of one.

Lucy can't actually fathom him being nice on day one like this. So she then she comes up with a plan to explain it all. Because it’ll help with her jealously if she does. Saying how Tim is only doing it to lull her into false sense of security. She’ll be wearing that coffee before too long. Lucy is all smiles till Jackson calls her out on it. Oof. Telling her how messed up it is she is enjoying this. Her bubble bursting rapidly even Tamara can’t look at her LOL Oh my girl you are as transparent as glass. The jealously is seeping out of her. Melissa kills this scene with her facial expressions. The whole episode really.

Tim and Katie catch a call about a robbery. I do love watching Tim with her because they’re so like minded. Except Tim knows how to be a cop vs a soldier. Fascinating to watch tbh. Lucy and Jackson show up as their backup when they start to take fire. Katie has injured one of them and is rendering first aid. Something that seems foreign to her. In the military you aren't doing that for your enemies.

Tim see's Katie is struggling with this concept. So he put his hand on her shoulder as a sign of support. Lucy immediately notices this and voices her jealously once again. Jackson doesn’t even notice what they’re doing. He asks her 'What?' Thinking it’s something egregious. Nope just Tim putting his hand on Katie’s shoulder….The green eyed monster is fuming at this moment. Telling Jackson she didn’t even get a fist bump when she saved his life day one...

Lucy is so aggravated and jealous. I saw a post once saying 'She's a ten but terrible at hiding her feelings.' Ha It's true Lucy wears them on her sleeve normally. This is another level though. Not even trying a little bit to hide it. He’s bought her coffee, been nice to her, let her drive and now she’s getting an empathetic touch all on day one. Driving Lucy nuts. She had to fight and claw for every inch with Tim. So this whole situation is seeming very unfair to her.

That Barnes is getting it handed to her on a silver platter in Lucy’s eyes. The thing is Lucy changed Tim so much for the better in many ways. Another part of her is jealous because Katie is getting an emotionally healthier version of Tim. Where she got a dumpster fire ready to implode at a moments notice. Took her time to breakthrough. The kicker is Tim is in the place he is now because of Lucy. But she can't see that atm. Jealously doesn’t tend to allow one to see logic LOL She is legit pouting above as they load their suspect up.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this next part with Tim and Katie. Anytime we get to delve into Tim past i’m a happy girl. Not only that but his military past. Trying to teach her how to live in the world she's currently in now. Not the one she was in before the LAPD. He’s trying to help reset her brain. I love him taking her to this peaceful park to accomplish this. The little bit of funny sass when he says 'No it's adorable.' HA Who are you and what have you done with Tim Bradford?

He can tell Katie is still unsettled from their encounter earlier. So he's trying to redirect her focus. i.e. the lady bug. You know Tim had to do something similar when he returned. I’m sure he struggled coming out of that mindset into a less controlled one. Where you’re not told what to do and when. Everything happens in a split second based off your decisions. The way he easily connects to what they’re doing. His insightful words of wisdom for her. He was Katie when he returned home. Thinking he’s still in country, everyone is either hostile or friendly. The way he speaks is from deep experience.

Tim tells her to take a deep breath, feel the sun on her face, close her eyes. He would cover her when she closed them. This scene gets me all emotional. I know what it's like to have PTSD. How it can control your entire life. To be in a consistent state of fight or flight. Because you've forgotten what it's like to have a safe space. What it's like to have your guard down. Tim is creating that safe space for her right now. By telling Katie he has her covered. To let herself just be in the moment. This scene showcases a couple things. One it show's Tim's good heart. How badly he wants to help her. I love this man so very much.

Two just shows how damn good he is at his job. Taking his past pain and experience and using it to help transition Katie. To help her transition better than I'm sure he did. Because he knows how sideways this can go if she doesn't get ahold of this. That if she continues down this path it’s not going to go well. Telling her to live in the moment. It’s hard but it’s the only way he got past the war. To move forward again. This soft side of Tim doing things to me. Already love this man but this just increases it ten fold. The soft way he speaks to her the entire scene. Phew lord. Getting weak in the knees.

Tamara calls Lucy asking if she can come get her. That her cousin is drunk and won’t let her get her stuff. Lucy grabs her off duty weapon and is on her way. I love how confidently she walks up and yells at Tamara's cousin to get her stuff. Get ‘em Lucy! Her stance is amazing. He listens like a smart man. Doesn't test Lucy. Tim would be so proud of her. Love me some confident BAMF Lucy. He gets her stuff tells her not to come back. What a jackass. Lucy asks what happened? Tamara tells Lucy her new place has black mold. It’ll be couple months before she can get in there.

We find out she asked her cousin if she could extend her stay. He lost it on her. Apparently his GF can't stand her staying there. Hence Tamara calling her for help. Says she will figure something out… Lucy refuses to let her drown. Tells her she can stay with her till the new place is ready. That she’s family ❤️ They really are found sisters and I love it sfm. They say family isn’t always blood. It isn't the same last name or bloodline. It's the people that constantly show up for you. Lucy has done this with Tamara and she's finally accepting it. Truly believing and trusting Lucy's word now. Her relief above is so sweet. I love their relationship so much.

We've now reached Lucy's boiling point of the episode. She legit implodes with jealously when she see Tim doing Katie's paperwork. She can’t take it any longer. Has to say something. Starts by making a snide comment about him doing paperwork day 2.... The way he looks up at her in the second gif LOL Tim is smart enough to know he’s in a fight with Lucy he’s just not sure why…He asks her if she has something to say? Knowing damn well she has a lot to say. Lucy is trembling with anger and jealously. Asking why he’s being so nice to her? The hurt in her tone is evident af. Her body language matching that tone.

Tim has opened the flood gates by asking her if she has something to say. Lucy doesn't hesitate and goes OFF on him. Her body language really betrays her so much in this scene. She is so damn revved up. Listing all the ways he tormented her in the early days. Mentioning when he stole her duty belt when she had to pee. The way he reminisces about that moment above has me rolling so much. Like ah yes I was so very mean to you LMAO Thinking damn that was a good one. Lucy telling him he called her boot so much she has PTSD from the word itself.

Now when Lucy says this it prompts Tim to say Katie has other issues. Lucy is so angrily blind in her jealously she goes off more. Saying like what? Then goes on a very insecure and specific rant about her. Oh Lucy when you start listing physical attributes like that it’s screaming you’re so VERY jealous. Her emotions betraying her wholly in this scene. Listing all the things Lucy feels like Tim doesn’t see in her. Which is a damn lie but she isn’t seeing straight right now. All she can see is her jealously and unfairness of his kindness.

Her insecurities are coming out in spades right now. Not only does this woman get soft Tim she’s also beautiful and smart. Lucy feels threatened on so many levels. This scene is screaming that. Tim follows up her rant with 'She won’t wear any perfume.' Lucy is so caught up in her emotions she forgot he’s answering her question from before. She’s confused and asks what that has to do with anything? Getting more irritated. Tim realizes she needs his full attention for this. Puts his pen in his pocket and turns toward her.

Stops what he’s doing and tells her how he teaches his trainee's. Saying he teaches his recruits according to what they need. You can see Lucy is riled up still but listening to him. He starts with a continuation to his previous statement. Saying she won’t wear perfume because she’s still worried it’ll give away her position. Telling Lucy a part of her is still in Afghanistan waging a war that is over for her. He continues on to say if she’s ever going to be a cop that instinct has to go.

Before Lucy can say a word he compliments her. Calling her a kind and insightful person. How she sees the good in people. Now I love this because he is doing build, break, build here. Building her up before breaking her back down by letting her know WHY he trained her the way he did. Vs what he's doing with Katie. Man has a reason for pretty much everything he does with this job especially teaching.

Trying to show Lucy that she and Katie view the world very differently. So his approach with her has to be the polar opposite. Lucy looks mortified by the time he’s done. Like she’s embarrassed she showed her hand emotionally and was wrong. Also it being over something she would've supported had she known the facts. Lucy immediately asks Tim if she’s going to be ok? That empathy of her's kicking right into gear now that Tim has calmed her down.

Tim says in time she will be ok. Which had she given him the chance to do this she would've been. He then ends the conversation with the best compliment she could’ve received from him. Tim basically saying she’s an incredible cop. That one day Barnes might even be as good as she is now. That shuts Lucy up effectively haha He does some heart eyes and does a mic drop of a walk away. Knowing there isn't more to say. That he needed to quell her insecurities and he did just that. It's the way he softens in that second gif as he compliments her. Gah I love them so much. He's so proud of his girl and lets her know it.

Lucy's reaction is the best part. She’s so full of giddiness it’s adorable. Her person just complimented her in the best way possible. Validating she’s amazing at her job. The little smirk and twirl is so cute I can not. It’s like when the guy you like says he likes you back. Lucy can’t contain her glee. He just made her whole damn year. His opinion of her is everything so she is on cloud 9 right now.

Love that Tim doesn’t make her feel bad for being jealous or questioning why he’s being nice to Katie. Just breaks it down and does what he does best with her. Says the right thing in the perfect way so she doesn’t spiral any further. The fact that he did that and complimented her not once but twice. Sigh How far we have come everyone how far we have come. ❤️

Side notes- Non Chenford

It is a bummer Katie doesn’t stick around. I get why she doesn’t. Transferring from one stressful environment to another is a lot when you still have ptsd issues. Telling Tim when he let her have her guard down, feel the sun on her face was the first time she felt at peace in a long time. He so desperately wants to help her transition. Because he’s been there done that. She declines and resigns.

Then Tim does something that makes me love him even more if thats even possible. That even though he’s disappointed she’s leaving he lets her know he’s going to check in on her. *heart clutch* Tells her she has 3 years before her POST certification expires. That she will always have a home here if she needs it. Oh Timothy be still my heart sir.

I love Tim having to be the neutral third party for Wopez and Wes’s mom for the wedding plans. It’s fantastic. He is a negotiator for them it’s so funny.

Harper/James flirty flirts for self defense class. Silas being his wing man to help him secure a date with Nyla. Too damn cute.

[madammayh3m]

I'm just going to spray you with a bunch of questions for Thais from the slightly obscure question list and you can answer as many or as few as you like, just whatever takes your fancy:

4, 8, 20, 25, 32, 39, 50, 53, 59

4. If your character was a work of art, how would you describe them?

That's a hell of a question lmao. I'm thinking something from a classically trained horror artist - uncomfortable to look at, with subject matter that's designed to be horrifying, but beautifully rendered. You have to be able to look past how initially off putting she is to notice what's underneath.

8. What is something they cannot resist?

I know this is probably supposed to be referring to like... an object, or a vice or something, but truly the only correct answer is "her fiance."

20. Can your character flirt? Are they aware they’re flirting? How do they do it?

Yes, but only with her fiance. Thais is demi-aroace, and she has literally never been interested in anyone aside from Yeska. So she can flirt and is aware she's flirting provided it's with him (because after knowing each other for thirty years, they're pretty familiar with how the other operates). Her flirting so far is a lot more body language and expressions rather than outright words. If she's going to use her words, she's going to be direct about what she wants, especially if she's speaking in Dwarvish (which, for some reason, is the only language other than Common that she and Yeska can both speak), because she knows damn well they're the only two that can understand what she's saying, and she's absolutely going to use that to fluster him a little.

25. How does your character feel about spending money?

It depends on what she's spending money on. When they've come across unmarked graves and altars while wandering the woods, Thais has frequently left offerings of a couple gold pieces as a sign of respect for the dead. But I don't think she really sees that as 'spending money.' She and her fiance both grew up pretty poor, and so she's used to having to save up, and she's not a big spender when it comes to herself. For example, she really likes nice dresses and shiny jewelry, but it's not practical for her everyday life and it's expensive, so she won't spend money on that kind of stuff. She will absolutely drop a fuck ton of money for her fiance to be able to get whatever the hell he wants tho, lmao

32. Does your character daydream? What do they usually keep their mind occupied with?

She's not much of a daydreamer, so when she needed to keep her mind occupied, she'd usually ponder over what she remembered of her past or things she needed to keep track of, like where she and Ferrin needed to go next, or how much money and rations they had and if it was enough to get them from one town/job to the next. So, fairly logistical. The major exception was after she realized she was in love with (and wanted to bone) her fiance, but before she and her fiance got together. Then she was playing catch-up with all the bullshit her friends learned how to cope with during puberty lmao. Lots of spicy daydreams.

39. What does your character believe their party lacks?

Well, up until recently, she and Ferrin were getting their asses beat pretty bad because the two-person party dynamic and the relatively strong (or just numerous) enemies they were facing made it hard for her specifically to actually do shit from a distance like she's meant to. So, taking a lot of damage and neither of them really knowing how to heal (or having the resources to seek out a healer) meant we ended up not really being able to approach combat efficiently. Now that we've had four (possibly five if Ferrin can swing things in the right direction next session) NPCs join the party, our bases are a little bit better covered. Ireena and Parpol can both help Ferrin as close range fighters, Vasilka and Yeska can help Thais from long-distance and then with Yeska being a cleric, he can buff and heal.

50. What is their native language? If they know multiple languages, how do they speak/act differently?

I headcanon that her first language was Elvish, but the language she speaks the most in her day-to-day life is just Common. She technically knows four, although Thieves' Cant isn't so much a spoken language on it's own, so I'm not counting it for this question. I think when she speaks in Common, she's a lot more straightforward and to the point than she would be when she speaks Elvish. She kind of uses Elvish as a way to say the shit she'd be embarrassed to say otherwise, since she's the only person in the party that can speak it (as far as both of us are aware). Meanwhile, she and Yeska can both speak Dwarven, so while she hasn't utilized this yet, it'd be handy to tell him things she doesn't want the other party members to know. So her speaking to him in Dwarven is either purely practical, or downright filthy, and there's no in-between lmao

53. What does freedom mean to them?

Before she died, it meant being able to marry the man she loved without the fear of Strahd getting in the way. Now, I don't think she really knows. Her being a revenant is, in a twisted sort of way, a second lease on life, but it only lasts until she kills Strahd. She doesn't really see a way out of that, so I don't think she sees herself as being able to be free. The best she can hope for is securing a better future for her loved ones.

59. What’s something your character has realized?

Well, she's realized a lot of things over her first week back in Barovia! Number one, she's actually a person with thoughts, feelings, opinions, and a past, as opposed to being this hollow, undead thing that exists solely for the purpose of seeking revenge on the one who killed her. She's also realizing that her divine purpose and what she wants are pretty at odds (not because she doesn't want to kill Strahd, but because killing him means she'll die and she doesn't want to put Yeska through that again). She's realized that Strahd has sunk his hooks deeper into Ferrin than she initially thought, which is fucking horrifying and something she's worried about trying to navigate going forward. But mostly, I think she's realizing that, despite everything, she still has the capacity to be gentle, and kind, and to love (and be loved in return).

Okay, for the several ask games

Writers would you ever:

Would you ever write...

A character you don't know that well?

Fanfiction for someone elses OCs?

Poetry?

The Writers Truth & Dare Ask Game:

🎱, 💌,🧃, 🍄, ❄️, 🎨, 🧩

Ask Game no. 3:

💌, 🔮, 🦖, 🧡, 🧸, 🍪, 😏, 🐰, 📷

-Leuchtturm

Would you ever write a character you don’t know that well?

I would definitely try lmao. I have attempted it before. Usually I have to do a bunch of research beforehand if I do try it. The only thing is it usually comes out pretty dull in my opinion. It’s hard to dive into the nuances of a character I don’t know that well

Would you ever write fanfiction for someone else’s OCs?

Technically I have? A large portion of the Undertale community focuses on fanmade AUs and fanon. I’ve written tons of fanfiction for different AUs (that I will probably never post here it’s so bad)

It’s really similar to the last question of ‘yeah I’ll write pretty much any character as long as I can know/learn something about them’

Would you ever write Poetry?

Probably not. I have tried before, it was bad lol

Really it’s just not the style I prefer to write with

Post your AO3 Total Stats

They’re not great but I post very little of what I actually write lol

How many unread emails do you have right now?

Vil and Idia have anonymous vtubers and they stream together. Idia streams more often since Vil is usually busy, but it’s really the only time they can be openly cute with each other outside of private settings. They usually game but Vil’s released some original music and done a lot of talking streams too

What’s your dream theme/plot for a fic and who would write it best?

Aaaugh this is an interesting question. I really enjoy anything that explores different mythological lore if that wasn’t obvious. I do also really like the idea of crossovers. I can’t think of specific plots but things like the Stoneheart Azul AU and BSD except the Book is a Leitner are both really intriguing ideas to me

Sorry this is so vague I can’t think of anything specific

Link your favorite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

I can’t decide omg. There’s so much good fanart out there I would not be able to choose

I’m going to assume this is asking about stuff I made because there is no way I would be able to choose otherwise

Aventurine Hands I want to chew on this so much the hands are so good and the rendering and lighting is so pretty for no reason

What will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Any sort of fic where it’s like- a pairing having a child together? Whether one of them is pregnant or they’re adopting. I can understand the appeal it is just not for me at all

Do you talk to yourself?

I do sometimes but it’s usually to call myself out when I’m being stupid lol

It doesn’t happen often

What is your dream job?

I would love to be able to do something that allows me to scuba dive professionally. I was considering going into welding for awhile because of that. Underwater welding is such a specialized job that pays a ton. It would also be cool to do research in the ocean too

Buuut there’s also the other part of me that prefers to stay nice and cozy inside with a computer. It’s the safer option that allows me to have a stable life lol

Favorite Extinct Animal?

Probably the Dodo bird. Big friendly guys I love them so much

A color you can’t stand?

I mean I dislike the objectively ugly colors but I don’t think there’s any color I can’t stand. Any color can look good depending on the colors around it imo

Favorite place to nap?

I am so bad at taking naps. It’s really hard for me to fall asleep outside of the usual night time. But I think the place I’ve been able to nap the most is one very specific couch back at my house. Bury me in blankets and put a cat on me and I am out so fast

If you were a cookie what would you be?

The powdered lemon drop cookie at Panera bread methinks

Are you on discord?

Yes I am! Feel free to dm me if you want it lol

What do you think says the most about a person?

Tbh I think this is a hard question. I’m going to base this off of first impressions. Usually the first thing I recognize from someone is their clothes. You can tell a lot about a person from what they wear and how they wear it

What’s set as your phone’s lock screen?

This very specific manga panel of Azul walking

[seravphs]

aaaaaAAAAA I woke up to this and my face is hurting from smiling so hard !!!!

first off, I’d like to say that I could’ve kept going with the tags but I didn’t wanna create a monolith of words lol I actually wanted to mention how CS and the continuation/standalone reminded me of the manga/anime called summertime rendering (not with the themes - your series is infinitely much happier haha) but the relationship bonding and saturated colors came across exactly the same through your writing!

summer breaks are a treasure; I hope you get to cherish them as well as your studies for the near future ❇️

the shokohime relationship is so pervasive throughout the background, I truly cherish how you write them both circling each other (in a different but no less important way than the others)

if/when you continue the CS universe may you @ me please? I’d love to gush in the tags once again haha (and will continue to do so for your other fics! I have a backlog of authors to go thru!! so humbled for them all really)

Ooo going on my TBR! The cover looks so cute but the synopsis sounds dark lmao

TwT thank you friend 🤍 I hope summer is good to you as well! I’ve been eating a lot of watermelon now that it’s warm out.

omg it is? I’m so happy! Especially with the anime coming out I hope we get tons of Shokohime content, they’re so cute together.

I’m so touched you want to be tagged TwT of course I will! I’m really grateful you would want to read a sequel and my other fics. No pressure to respond to anything I write but if you do leave tags I hope we can have another lovely conversation 💙

[tobiosmilktea]

ahh omg requests are opened !! can i request atsumu, iwa, kenma, and tsukki angst to fluff kinda thing where they get into a big fight and the boys blow up on the reader but make up at the end? pls make me cry but also go “💘🥺”,, thank you so much !!!

- 🧋

kiss and make up with atsumu, iwaizumi, kenma, and tsukishima

— m. atsumu

being with atsumu,, it’s no surprise that you two occasionally get into a few arguments here and there

they honestly range from the tiniest little, insignificant things from what to get for dinner to whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza aka things most people probably wouldn’t even bat an eye at

you were used to it considering how atsumu is, but his personality is what you liked most about him with how he’s constantly having you on your feet —never knowing what he’ll do next

they’re quiet funny at the end of the day and that back and forth banter is just another way you two show how much you care about each other

with that being said, no matter what you two are arguing about, it’s always lighthearted and not so serious

that’s why it honestly took you by surprise how atsumu’s typically nonchalant and teasing nature whenever you guys “argue” over something was something you’ve never seen before

very rarely did you ever see this man get incredibly angry and you’ve even seen all of his games where things weren’t going right

and perhaps that’s where the root of this argument started in the first place

dating a famous division 1 volleyball player who is well loved and respected, it’s hard being able to spend the proper time with him when he’s constantly travelling or getting recognized whenever you two are out on a date

you weren’t exactly complaining about this problem to atsumu after he came back from a tiresome and strenuous day of practice as you knew that it was going to be like this when you two first met

if anything, it was just a concern you voiced out that you obviously weren’t expecting him to solve with a snap of his fingers

“and what the fuck do you want me to do about it, (y/n)?” he snapped at you, venom coated his words like tar

you looked at him with widened eyes as a mixture of confusion and utter offense melted upon your expression

atsumu was notorious for using foul language on a daily basis, but never had he ever swore at you and it’s safe to say you like to keep that same energy with him

you scoffed at him, still a bit dumbfounded, “i’m not expecting you to fix anything over night, i was just saying.”

“as if i already didn’t know how hard it is to find time to spend together.”

“so, are you just treating me like an idiot now?”

it was late, you were tired just as much as atsumu was and you certainly weren’t in the mood to argue with him anymore

before you could even let him answer, you walked away from him and entered your bedroom withy a slammed door

you hated going to bed angry, but there honestly wasn’t anymore moral within you to even continue whatever leftover conversation between you and atsumu

perhaps giving time for something this to simmer until the morning would be enough to make sure your fatigue wasn’t blurring your thoughts knowing how dangerous misunderstandings can be

a few minutes later, atsumu enters the room, eyes scanning over your figure beneath the sheets as your breathing subsided

he thought you were fast asleep, but your mind was still awake and racing with the worse case scenarios. it made it so much more difficult now that atsumu laid beside you

he would wrap his arms around you, “i’m sorry, i shouldn’t have yelled at you.” whispering in a hushed, muffled voice. you could feel the way his lips pecked at you shoulder then up to your temple

you weren’t sure if he knew you were awake or not as you swore he could’ve heard your heart pounding

without uttering another word, you turn towards him, burying your head into the crook of his neck

you were just glad his warmth was still here

— i. hajime

you believe one of your biggest flexes within your relationship with iwa is that you two rarely argue or get into childish fights

sure, there were disagreements here and there, but most of them were minuscule decisions on what outfit to where that day or what restaurant you two wanted to eat at. most of which would be decided with a harmless game of rock, paper, scissors or nose goes lmao

other than constantly bickering with oikawa, iwaizumi isn’t really the type to get into shouting contests with you unlike with his best friend (most of which is started by oikawa anyway)

because of this, you weren’t really expecting to get into a fight with your boyfriend, and yet, it wasn’t like you weren’t used to him doing so

at the end of the day, you always ended up being the moderator of iwaizumi and oikawa’s loud back and forth banter if things got too rowdy

so never in a million years were you expecting oikawa to be taking your place at this very moment

poor dude doesn’t know what to do

he’s used to third wheeling you and iwa being all lovey dovey, but now that you two were in the midst of a midafternoon shouting contest, he’s completely dumbfounded

oikawa couldn’t help but feel bad for you as technically the whole reason why you and iwaizumi were arguing in the first place was because of him

long story short, iwa was sick and tired of oikawa flirting with you all the time despite only doing it to tease him

you were well aware of this as well, playing along with oikawa’s flirts just to tease your boyfriend

you didn’t see any harm in it as you made it very clear the moment you confessed to iwaizumi that you liked him and not his best friend (who you more or less saw as a brother over anything)

“listen, i’m sorry i was only playing around.” you apologize, throat already aching from the amount of stress you had already put on it

“if you were only playing around, then you wouldn’t be flirting with him everyday!” spat iwaizumi as he flickering a harsh look to oikawa who backed a good six feet away from you two (social distancing king lmao)

you honestly didn’t know what to say as a lump formed in your throat, rendering you speechless. granted, he had a point, but how couldn’t he overlook the way you only had eyes for him? the way you would “flirt” with oikawa they always tended to be backhanded, the way you would always kiss iwa after each of oikawa’s attempts to flirt, or how you would constantly remind him how much you loved him

it hurt slightly knowing how it was all overlooked by harmless teases

regardless,, it had to stop

before you could  apologize once more and say you’ll stop, iwaizumi huffs, “just say that you wanted him the entire time and not me.” before walking away entirely

your eyes widened, turning over towards a distanced oikawa who had the same look of surprise before motioning a hand towards your boyfriend, “well, go after him!”

with missing a beat, you ran down the block to catch up to iwaizumi, spreading your arms and throwing it around him as you bury your face into his back

“i’m sorry, i shouldn’t have done that.” your voice muffled into his uniform shirt, “i only like you, iwa, you have to believe me.”

your hands that were firmly clasped together to prevent him from breaking out of your embrace was slowly pulled apart by iwaizumi, feeling his entire body turn to face towards you

“idiot,” he muses with that same embrace

— k. kenma

i don’t think argument are common between you and kenma

he’s probably too preoccupied with playing video games or sleeping to even bother starting a fight over mindless disagreements

you were glad that you didn’t have to deal with such burdens of fighting with your significant other, but at the same time, you believed that small disagreements in relationships showed just how much you cared for the other

it showed how they were looking out for you if you were to ever make a terrible decision, and yet kenma would only bat an eye at you and shrug whenever you ask him for advice

in the end, you’d end up fucking something up or get hurt

or whenever you’d ask your boyfriend what he thinks about a specific outfit, he barely spare your a glance before uttering the words, “yeah, looks great babe.”

it sounded almost crazy to say, but sometimes you wished for you and kenma to get into arguments sometimes

not ones so serious it would lead to a significant gap within your relationship, but rather the ones the led for you guys to communicate more

besides, it’s not like you guys communicate a lot in the first place

you first brought up this concern when you came over to his apartment to which he was (surprise surprise) still playing video games

you didn’t mind about his hobbies as that’s what he liked most, but sometimes you just wished he would give you the proper attention for once

“hey,” you’d call out to him in the dark room, shaking a plastic bag in your hand in the hopes it would capture his attention, “i bought takoyaki!”

and to your low expectations, kenma simply hums as he clicks rapidly at his keyboard

your brows furrow as you pondered to yourself, what will get his attention?

“i also brought my boyfriend with me!” you lied just to see if his expression would even change

and what do ya know, it doesn’t. it’s the same focused deadpan on his computer screen, “no you didn’t, your boyfriends right here?”

you were at the end of your rope

“then why doesn’t my boyfriend come over here and act like it?” you hissed, “last time i checked, boyfriends get excited whenever they see their significant other and not over genshin characters.”

now that was a bite to kenma’s ego as he finally pulled his eyes away from the screen and towards you. “what?” he says, confused.

“do you even like me anymore?”

kenma scoffs almost dumbfounded, “of course i do, how could you say that?”

“because i experience it everyday, kenma.” you confess, fighting to keep your heavy gaze onto your boyfriend as he approaches you. “every time i come by i always see you at your desk in front of your computer. you never greet me first and unless i verbally say something, you probably won’t even notice that i’m here.” you voice broke slightly

“i-i’m sorry, (y/n)—”

“do you ever stop and think of the fact that the only times we see each other if from me visiting you? if i were just to stop one day i’d figure we wouldn’t even have a relationship in the first place.” you sigh as you shook your head, “you probably wouldn’t even notice, anyway.”

almost immediately does kenma wrap his arms around you in a tight embrace, almost as if he feared that you would disappear if he were to let go in the slightest

he places a kiss on your forehead before resting his own against yours, “i don’t ever want to hear those words come from you every again, (y/n). i’m so so sorry, i’ll promise to be better.”

you melted within his embrace, feigning a smile from appearing as you quickly give him a peck before remembering that the bag of food you bought was still in your hand

“let’s start by eating before the food gets cold.”

— t. kei

unlike the rest of the previously mentioned boys, arguments are pretty common between you and tsukishima considering his nature

he’s constantly teasing and making fun of you, but all of which were just jokes not meant to be taken seriously and you were well aware of this too

it’s probably the main reason why tsuki found himself so enamored with you as you constantly matched his energy 

you two were shockingly similar with your humor and your smugness, but the main differences between the two of you was you academics

it’s not surprise how tsukishima is always at the top of his class while you’re always at the bottom of it

considering this, the majority of your dates during the week with him are usually study dates or normal dates that end with the two of  you either at the library or each other’s houses studying material for the following day’s test

it was clear that in order to date each other, you both had to have patience

you weren’t exactly the fastest learner and you easily got distracted with things around you that you’re honestly surprised that tsukishima’s nonexistent patience was still up and active

besides, he loved you. he had to understand your difficulties as most of the time you can’t help it, but at the same time his personality was like treading on broken glass

usually he had enough patience to last an entire two hour study session with you, but today was oddly different

nothing was going right with tsukishima’s day and he just got absolutely annoyed with every little thing from a person bumping into him in the halls to a stain on his uniform that you could barely even notice

right now, this was the tenth time he found you tuning him out and daydreaming

his knuckled turned alabaster from the pressure of squeezing his mechanical pencil. he huffed, trying to calm himself down as he rubbed his aching temples

“(y/n), were you even listening to what i was—”

“do you think giraffes know where other giraffes are from?” you interrupted him with another one of your mindless tangents, “like considering how the pattern of a giraffe’s fur depends on what regent they’re from, do you think a giraffe from southern africa could tell if another if from western africa—”

tsukishima was at his limit, “can’t you just shut the fuck up and focus for five minutes, (y/n)?” he shouts at you, “i swear, you wouldn’t be failing if you just listened for once.”

he huffs out in annoyance, completely ignoring the way the brightness in your expression fell into a frown

you weren’t mad as you honestly couldn’t blame him. having learning difficulties and a short attention span was burdening you boyfriend so much that he isn’t even obligated to be doing this for you

he was sacrificing his time tutoring you and you’re just wasting it

“i’m sorry i can’t learn as easily as you,” you mutter softly, picking up your things quickly

tsukishima gives you a look of confusion, “w-where are you going?”

“thanks for all your help, but i can’t keep wasting your time like this.” you say as you zipped up your backpack and left

the next day you walked to school alone. usually you would be walking with tsukishima and yamaguchi, but it seemed like even tadashi wasn’t there to wait outside your house either

you weren’t able to hide your melancholy as you entered your classroom, slightly glad that tsukishima and yamaguchi weren’t here yet to see your expression

it allowed you time to pull yourself together, and yet, that time alone was cut short as the two walked in

you briefly flicker them a look fast enough that they don’t notice, but long enough for you to see yamaguchi patting his best friend on the back with encouragement

tsukishima had something in his hands, but you were too far away to construe them

you looked back down to your desk, fiddling with you pencil and pretending as if you were thinking about what to write next

it was then did footsteps approach, arriving right next to you with a presence so unwavering

you gulped, hoping that it wasn’t who you thought it was as you looked it

of course it just had to be that one lanky boy with glasses and messy blond hair to be standing by your side

he was holding a stuffed giraffe and a small white box with string neatly tied around it

“i’m sorry for blowing up on you,” he bursts out his apology, “i know you have a hard time and i should’ve remembered that you can’t help it.”

he places the giraffe plushy and box onto your desk

“it’s an masai giraffe since i remembered you liking their unique fur pattern and i also got you strawberry short cake this morning before they ran out that’s why i wasn’t there to walk you to school.” tsukishima continues explaining, “i just hope you’re not angry with me.”

you felt a smile creeping up to your lips as you shook your head, “i could never.”

Sorry if this is long but really wanted to ask this and I wanted no room for misunderstanding etc etc........ I’m kinda new to radical feminism and I’ve been wondering about something I’ve seen around here that’s been bothering me for some time ,but I didn’t want to ask with my name attached since I’ve kinda seen this topic brought up and all I saw were mocking answers so here goes: why do some radfems /gender critical feminist reblog porny objecting pictures of women? *cues booing sounds* Now I understand that there’s more nuance to things and people here go on about being annoyed at the policing of others for not being ideological pure and whatnot put I feel like sometimes it just comes across as an excuse to be hypocritical to the very things they advocate against.... like I understand reblogging some random pretty lady in makeup and high heals because most women are photographed and presented that way and you’d be rendered unable to even appreciate any woman again if you stick to being “ ideologically pure”. But, that’s not what I’m referring to, I’m talking about like straight up singular ass shots and women in objectifying poses wearing thongs and high heals, the whole nine yards and it’s not even done in an artsy photography way or shot by a female artist. Like scrolling through blogs of very smart women and them BOOM it’s an ass thong pic god you’d think you could escape but I guess not even here and I can’t describe the disappointment and repulsive feeling I get when I see those images I actually forget I’m on a radfem blog and I end up thinking I’m on your average libfems /misogynistic man’s social media. And I’m trying to think hmm maybe they like the clothes or whatever but some make it obvious it’s to thirst or to acknowledge that the women in the pic is attractive ( and interestingly enough I’ve seen straight , bi and lesbian radfems do this.) And so the excuses and deflection some people have given is that “ some of us are lesbians and we are all not pure sapphics that want to hold hands we like to fuck god you’re so annoying” and the dramatic “so you’re saying lesbians are like predatory males for our innate attraction you’re lesbian-phobic !!!” and also someone compared them reblogging porny pics to straight women thirsting over men ??? ( I guess suggesting that straight women are inherently problematic for even having an innate sexual attraction to men lmao). Like idk how these are good arguments since the problem at hand wasn’t about SSA experiencing sexual attraction and thirsting over other woman but that they did it at the expense at objectifying other woman. I actually think that ALL women have a problem with objectifying woman that no one wants to talk about and everyone has their excuses. Like no I don’t think SSA woman are the equivalent of a predatory males but I do think they are not 100% free from seeing women like objects. I might make some SSA women here mad but some of you guys DO enjoy images of woman being objectified but don’t want to admit it, there’s this prioritizing of you’re own satisfaction over what you actually believe in, and you’ll try you’re best to twist any criticism of this as lesbophobic. As for straight women they also will see other woman as objects even if they don’t desire other woman sexually , probably seeing other women as aesthetically pleasing objects to reblog not minding the obvious objectification since they’re so desensitized anyways. And once again I want to say this isn’t about your typical hot lady post here but porny male gazey type of shit. I tried really hard to brush it off but my visceral reaction to seeing these pics was identical to the feeling of seeing woman plastered as pieces of meat just like in all social media and I didn’t want to ignore that. Anyways so what I wanted to sincerely ask is if there is some kind of perspective that I’m missing in all this?

i have actually criticised this multiple times before, and there is a semi-regular thing i do where i'll come across an image, whether a photo or art, on my dash and it smells of male gaze, and i'll check the artist and confirm it, then reblog with artist info. it proves a point that you CAN almost always tell when nude imagery of women is objectification. the even more offensive stuff is when it's clearly sexualised and you look at the op and they're a porn blog. like, i get not checking everything you reblog, we're not tras, but i feel like naked women in art is like....a good exception to have for checking the artist and/or poster.

as i have said before, i think in our current society, art surrounding women's naked bodies is currently inseparable from the view of women that has been indoctrinated into all of us. even heterosexual women view women in an objectified manner, let alone women who are also sexually attracted to women. of course, our f/f attraction is still very different from men, but to think that it is free of the influence of the collective objectification and hypersexualisation is naive. so, personally i'd rather not share images of naked women at all, unless completely desexualised, made by women, and the focus isn't her body, and even then i often leave it be because why is she naked? why does she need to be naked? i can live without online art of naked women, it's such a small thing that it's ridiculous to argue over and defend, it's like those dudes that conflate masturbation and porn and act like they'll die without porn subreddits or whatever.

in a patriarchy free society, there'd be nothing wrong with naked woman art. but right now it's the zeitgeist, the guerilla girls have stats about this, of how much art is naked women. it's not counterculture, against patriarchy, revolutionary, it is exactly what men make and consume. they don't care what reasons one has for making it as long as it's being made.

of course, there is nuance in this, like i mentioned with the desexualised female made stuff, but it's just easier for me to largely not risk it.

any recommendations for hq writing blogs?

oooh yes I do! I have so so many blogs that I love but I decided cut it down to just ten so this didn’t end up being too long💕

I also have a fic rec tag here, and a full x reader tag here! (the rec tag is still pretty new so it’s kinda sparse rn💕) 

🖤 - contains nsfw content!(If you’re below 18, please dni)

In no particular order -

@sunalma - ugh, EVERYTHING Alma writes hits me right in the chest, she’s so incredibly talented and her recent Suna fic has had me in my feels all day today. She’s also quite possibly the sweetest person alive - an absolute angel pie of a human being, She brightens my day whenever she’s on my dash💖

@kuroowo - Cass’s content is the reason I wake up in the morning. Her angst cuts into me like a knife and then her fluff stitches the wound back together. She has such a beautiful way with language that genuinely renders me speechless every time😭💖

@hajimine - salksfklasdf what to even say, They’re one of the blogs I genuinely check daily so I can read their content. I’ve yet to read something of their’s that I didn’t get overwhelmingly emotional over. Also Lex has such an amazing energy and community too, I just love them! Their timestamps are some of my all time favorite 

@kohi-zeri - I first read Over the Moon at like, cried for 10 minutes because it was that beautiful, immediately followed and I’ve binged like all of her content since. Such an incredible writer, I can’t wait to see what she releases next

@neoheros - literally all I can think of to say about Rue is that one lady gaga gif “amazing, showstopping, incredible,” the talent oozes out of her like lava and I will literally throw myself in it every time no questions asked.

@hvnlydmn - Ains is one of those writers who you can tell genuinely enjoys what she writes and that's why its so good every. single. time. She doesn’t care about notes, she writes what inspires her and for who she’s passionate about and it really shines through. I love her content, can never get enough

@teesumu - Tee’s hurt/comfort content (specifically making the boys cry series) hurts so good - she characterizes them all so well and apparently I love pain because I SEEK it out like my life depends on it. Her fluff is immaculate too though, ugh, freakin’ love her writing so much.

@fushiguroll - Ceci is such a fantastic writer and person - its so hard not to love everything about her. She puts 120% into everything - from writing her headcanons and fics, interacting with her community, to editing her blog (its stunning). Her Season + Time series literally breathes life into me, its so so good. She's also a freakin' machine and has a crazy amount of content and it's all fucking amazing, to be frank - I have spent hours reading through her content and just swooning over anime boys lmao

@oikawakuns🖤 - OK OK OK FLORA’S EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD I CAN’T GET ENOUGH PLS IF YOU HAVE A NOYA APPRECIATION /PLEASE/ READ Encore Une fois - its so so cute and I still think about it daily ahhhhhh

@mintmatcha 🖤 - I swear to god I’m a masochist. But they just. They write angst so well - I think I discovered them from their Matsukawa fic called Late Night Chat, and I immediately followed - I didn’t have any particularly strong feelings about Mattsun until that fic tbh, and even though its been like well over a month since I read it I literally think about it, and him, every day. So So good. 

[yarichin-imagines]

Hi!!! okokok, how bout a s/o who has a kind of quirk (just like bnha!), how do you think they would react? Like, I think they'd probably integrate into something related to sex or develop a kink (? LMAO

y'all i am so into bnha you have no idea!! also, for neutrality purposes, i'll be using the quirks of deku, todoroki, bakugou, uraraka, kirishima, denki, sero, iida, and satou, all from class 1A, mostly just because none of their quirks rely on physical appearances!!

tw: impact, dubcon (drugging, somno), dummification if you squint

Toono – S/O's Quirk: One for All – This Quirk is a union of two different Quirks, one that stockpiles power and one that passes itself on to another. The user can momentarily gain strength and speed far greater than any other Quirk and hero.

thankfully by the time he'd met you, you'd mastered the use of your Quirk

you were never the prance about type to flash around your power anyway

you preferred to use it for more mundane tasks – like opening pickle jars and carrying the groceries into the house in one trip

he found out about it on accident

he was on his way out when he caught you in the parking lot coming in––

with your car in hand, two feet off the ground

you'd dropped your fob somewhere underneath it and couldn't see

toono passed out

when he came to, his first questions revolved around whether or not the car was okay

once he wraps his head around it though..

he's way more into it than he tells you

but it also fuckin terrifies him

so much so that he really doesn't want you to use it on him

definitely has watched you use it so intently that he can nut off to it later

maybe one day he'll pluck up and ask you to activate it for some pictures he can keep

Kashima - S/O's Quirk: Half-Cold, Half-Hot – This Quirk splits the user into two, half of the user's body can emit ice, the other half emits fire.

honesty is a pillar to kashima's relationship

your quirk came to light a month or so into seeing him

and at first, he was mostly excited about the health benefits

he decides then and there that you gotta do him a solid and chill his side of the bed

that way he can keep cool when he sleeps

sometimes

even if he's half asleep

he'll grab your right hand with a lil soft tug

and in your drowsy stupor you chill his pillow so there's no need for a flip

makes him grin like an idiot every time

when he comes home from practice or from the gym he has you freeze and unfreeze the bathwater-- saves you guys a whole lot of ice

he doesn't mind letting you ease his muscles with your left side after all the heats works wonders that would make any rice pack green with envy

as a top, kashima's got complete control in the bedroom

all day, he'll ask you to close your eyes and heat something up, maybe it's a vibrator or a dildo

or when you chill something, they're usually beads or a plug

all for him to torment you with later on that night

Yacchan – S/O's Quirk: Explosion – This Quirk allows the user to sweat a substance similar to Nitroglycerin from the user's palms and ignite it to create explosions.

kyosuke recognizes it's too dangerous to use in the bedroom

but that being said, there's plenty of other stuff around the place to let you show off

your firework shows are always the best on the block

especially when he sets some off right when yuu isn't expecting it

mainly, yacchan appreciates your quirk when it comes to pulling pranks

It's really funny when you're popping ziploc bags full of nothing right outside tamura's dorm when he's trying to power nap before exams

and even funnier when he storms out in just tighty whities to yell at you

only to meet the flash of yacchan's cellphone

toono will fall asleep during study sessions sometimes and yacchan will facetime you so you can let out a boom and wake him up

he will most definitely fall off the bed and yacchan will most definitely record it

the two of you are the best of the worst that way

Shikatani – S/O's Quirk: Zero Gravity – This Quirk allows the user to cause people and items to float on contact. There is a weight limit on how much the user can levitate, and if this Quirk is used to much, it will cause the user to get sick.

it's really helpful when you help him deep clean

after all, if the supplies are gracefully floating behind him, that leaves his hands free to do twice the work, saving him half the time

but you're content to watch the beautiful boy work

if you help him clean like that, he won't ask for much more that day

he is very very conscious of how much you use your quirk

because he cares about you too much to let you get sick

since he knows for a fact that because of his ocd he won't be able to take care of you

and that stings

so on the days where the chores have all been done he gets the honor of experiencing the effects of your quirk in bed

he likes how it feels when your tease him from the air above

your throat feels more open

but it's not like he can do too much about it since the instant he gets too eager you always float just out of reach

sometimes if he's behaved very well, you'll suspend him

the headrush he gets is euphoric

but the best is how good you are when you blow out his back with your strap

after all, without gravity, your stroke game is literally out of this world

Akemi – S/O's Quirk: Hardening – This Quirk allows the user to harden any part of their body. This shell can withstand several tons of metal falling on the user, along with shock waves, explosions, etc.

there's nothing cuter to akemi keiichi than a brat

if you want to misbehave?

by all means

go right ahead

he'll leave it to you to exhaust yourself

that's the first time he saw you use it

he wasn't aiming to cause any major damage, he was only spanking you with his hand

but he'd been at it for almost an hour

then suddenly he'd pushed you off him after he'd slapped what felt like a solid rock

not that it could stop him

his eyes only grew darker

from then on out, it was all a game to see how far he could push before the shell wore down and you gave into him

Itome – S/O's Quirk: Electrification – This Quirk allows the user to discharge electricity out of the user's body. It goes out in all directions around the user, and can be used to even charge objects, such as batteries. There is a limit to how much this Quirk can be used, and if used too much, the user will short circuit their own brain, and won't be able to do anything for an hour.

of course you can charge his phone in a pinch when it dies at the worst possible moment

hotwire his car when he's already running late

restart the fusebox when there's a power outage

after hours, itome's not a hard dom

not in the slightest

but every once in awhile, he can be particularly malicious

like when he has you overcharge your vibrators to give him the liberty of overstimulating you for longer

really it's less about the scene and more about what comes after

due to the limits of your quirk, aftercare is all on him

that's what he likes the most

taking care of you completely

being able to coax you through your braindead state

clean you off and pose you all comfortable

you're all the sweeter when you come to, when you come back to him

Yuri – S/O's Quirk: Tape – This Quirk allows the user to shoot extremely strong tape from openings on the user's elbows.

the tape is good for fixing most messes yuri gets himself into, clumsy fuck

also waxing!

of course he's gonna be into it

he loves the sting it leaves when you pull it off him the most

and he feels it all over again when there's red rectangular patches all across his skin the next morning

though the gluey part is a bit of a pain to wash off

sometimes he'll leave it for him to pick at throughout the day -- that way he'll get the shivers, makes him hot all over again!

he literally cannot get enough

when you do your school work or anything that diverts your attention from him, he'll be tugging at your elbow

this way you can restrain him until you're ready to ahem

put him to use

you can also use your tape to toss him around, floor to bed to floor to wherever

sometimes you even tape up his face, cover his mouth until the drool renders the tape into a thin flimsy strip

you tie his hands tighter and tighter every time, and it never breaks him

he loves it

on the other hand, yuri can be quite the slippery fuck

for emergencies, you've got some of your tape stored away

you've woken up more than once hogtied, your quirk turned against you

like it or not, yuri can easily turn the tables and you're almost never expecting it

you might have an unlimited supply, but he's too quick for your own good

Tamura – S/O's Quirk: Engine – This Quirk gives the user incredible speed by engine-like protrusions in the user's calves. The engines are fueled by orange juice, and carbonated drinks will mess the engines up.

he calls a 40 meter dash every single weekend

he sets his treadmill to train for it the whole week

but he never beats you

and it seriously pisses him off

you're always faster, no matter the game

if anything, it motivates him

he'll take the bruised ego if it helps him get into better shape

the fact that sometimes, you let him win makes his "engines" overheat faster than you can blink

he'll chase you and chase you for hours

fueled on adrenaline and testosterone, there's no way he'll tap out before you

expect a long, hard bite once he catches you

he goes absolutely animalistic

that lilt in his voice when he finally gets to sink his teeth into your shoulder, even if it's through a shirt, that doesn't matter to him

"caught you"

Jimmy – S/O's Quirk: Sugar Rush – This Quirk allows the user to become stronger and faster every 10 grams of sugar they eat for three minutes. The more the user uses this Quirk, the dumber they get.

every time he catches you snacking on a chocolate bar his whole brain turns off

he's practically jumping, the way he bounces around

waiting for you to inevitably choke slam him against the nearest surface

wall, couch, bed, anything

he likes it when you just toss him over your shoulder

even more the way your hits are harder than usual

he antagonizes you on purpose

making sure to stuff a grocery cart full of sweets he knows you like so that he can catch you snacking and make him pay through the nose

he always asks so nicely

but when you won't give in, well that just won't do!

doses your miso with sugar, drops in three extra cubes in your milk tea, encourages extra flan for dessert

for the next three minutes, you're nearly tripping over yourself

everything is lighter

and then when the crash hits---

jimmy can finally take what he wants

and karma is quite the bitch

I watched an episode the new League of Legends spinoff tv series Arcane, I will watch the rest later at some point lol. visually it’s pretty interesting but it is 100% what would you would expect

animation mostly seems to be done either in house at Riot or at Fortiche Productions who did various previous music videos for them (not sure how it breaks down exactly, beyond that Fortiche definitely did the title sequence and some of the show animation is in their demo reel). whoever it is, they have a very strong nonphotorealistic shader pipeline that resembles recent trends in digital painting (strong rim lighting, fairly visible brushstrokes on surfaces).

so... it’s probably the first tv series to really bring that kind of high budget stylised videogame cutscene look to an animated series - not surprising since that look is very associated with League and Riot. i’d place it in a tradition with something like Legend of Korra (which it heavily resembles in writing) on the one hand and Star Wars The Clone Wars/Rebels on the other, though the visdev is considerably tighter than the starwars cartoons - very few sparse empty cgi sets, lots of nicely composed “looks like concept art” shots, very strong facial animation. this is definitely going to set a standard for what “expensive western CGI animation” is going to look like, and it’s cool that nonphotorealistic rendering is becoming increasingly popular.

overall though... it’s hard to get that excited because it’s kinda normcore lmao. like you can 100% tell it’s a spinoff of not just a game but a high budget modern MOBA; the character archetypes and writing beats are all pretty much “exactly what you would expect” given the premise. which isn’t necessarily an issue, like i’ve watched and enjoyed plenty of anime that throws a ton of visual flair at a conventional premise... but it feels like it’s so polished that the rough edges of personal touch that make something interesting have been sanded off along with the low budget CGI jank. which is also why I would compare it with Legend of Korra; it’s not just that they’re set in a city with a big class divide and a cool-but-scary police force and a 20s sort of visual style (Arcane is more Art Nouveau than Art Deco) but they both have that kind of “this story doesn’t really merit the animation effort you’re lavishing on it but that’s what capitalism will serve up for us” sorta feel to them!

one of the most interesting touches to me is the fact that the explosions, liquids - “effects animation” - are all clearly 2D, and made of very clean graphic shapes in a way that calls to mind animators such as Lightsoul. (it’s honestly so like his style that I wondered if he did it, but I couldn’t spot him on the credits). this added a ton of character. a slow motion fight scene with some deliciously squashy punch impacts also stood out choreography-wise. I was amused that they had Shohreh Aghdashloo’s extremely recognisable voice for the police chief, playing a character very similar to her role as Chrisjen Avasarala in The Expanse.

I feel like the premise has potential if they fully lean into the characters doing a terrorism (apparently where this is going), but I imagine it will back off to some Korra-style lib shit, because it’s the backstory of a mainstream videogame character and of course we surely can’t countenance blowing up fictional people in our fictional dystopia. that’s the thing i guess... I read V for Vendetta recently and you can really feel Moore’s anger at living through the Thatcher years, and I just don’t feel like this is going to have anything like that spark from 40 years ago, it’s just dabbling in a story about a revolution. but who knows. i’ll give it a chance!

hi hi!! would you mind writing something for a love triangle or poly relationship (whichever you’re more comfortable writing!) between a fem!reader (if gender is relevant), tanaka, and noya? tysm!

Oooo I really like that idea! You’re a genius anon  (＾▽＾)

I’m comfortable with either, so I’ll do a little bit of both !

♡ 𝑻𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒂 & 𝑵𝒐𝒚𝒂 𝒙 𝑭𝒆𝒎!𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 ♡

Oya oya? What do we have here? The two knights in shining sports vests willing to give life and limb to defend a woman other than Kiyoko?

Now initially, this was something you could just shake your head and laugh about as you filled up the sports bottles by the water cooler, being their new additional manager was something you had long looked forward to after handing in your application to Kiyoko. Despite the performances they put on in front of you with a “HEY HEY DID YOU SEE THAT (Y/N)-SAN?? WASN’T I COOL? O-OI RYU DON’T TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF IN FRONT OF HER-” you could clearly tell where their feelings lie when it came to Kiyoko right from the very start, not that you blamed them either, she’s beautiful.

However, over time their vehement protection became something a little more, and the other teammates seemed to realise too.

While they were still adamant on watching over Kiyoko, their heart eyes seemed to take an unexpected turn.

In your direction.

If one wasn’t by your side, the other was. Chatting idly with you about everything under the sun till their throats ached, doing everything in their clownery to make you laugh and capture your attention.

This would often turn into bickering on their part over who got to spend time with you during breaks practise, and a smack upside the head from Daichi in the process when things got too rowdy.

Overtime, these feelings they shared toward you became more intense, and extremely hard to dismiss as simple boisterous play on their part.

Being very similar in personalities and finding the pair equally cute, you found yourself torn between the two and how you felt about them.

This became especially apparent when one day after practise, when everyone else had gone home, they poured their hearts out to you by the gymnasium doors.

And that’s when it hit you.

You couldn’t decide.

Rendering you speechless and left stumbling over your words, all that spilled out was a messy string of what sounded like “u-Hm...I can’t..decide. I like you.. b-both.”

Now THIS was something they weren’t expecting.

After psyching themselves up by performing a bro hug stronger than the gravitational pull of the earth with a ‘no hard feelings’ fist bump, chanting “May the best man win!” , had you really just stumped them by confessing your feelings to both of them?

Tanaka and Noya stare at you for a second, eyes widening as if they had been struck by a lightening bolt moment before saying in unison,

“So why not have both of us?”

“Y-you can’t be serious! that, that can’t work... can it? I mean- are you two REALLY okay with this?”

The two simply chuckle and sling an arm around each other before smirking devilishly in your direction.

“We don’t mind sharing.”

From then on, you do everything as a trio.

You guys are inseparable and the definition of a healthy poly relationship, aside from the occasional bickering over who gets to sit next to you on the ‘away games’ bus.

In the end you just called it quits and decided to sit next to Kiyoko LMAO.

You could tell Daichi was at his wits end bless the man.

On weekends, it’s become a routine for you all to crash at Tanaka’s place, falling asleep while playing video games and binging on snacks.

Saeko finds it amusing to slide the door open a crack to see you three sprawled out on the futon with you sandwiched between the two, legs dangling lazily over Ryu’s with your back pressed snugly against Noya.

One night you got up to get a glass of water, and sensing the lack of presence between them like a pair of lost puppies, began to stir in their sleep. 

As you made your way soundlessly back up the stairs, a loud and unified shriek erupted from the room and echoed through the house, followed by a bellowing “oW- WHaT THe hELL RYU DID YOU JUST HEADBUTT-” and a “OI IT WASN’T ME, IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR MOVING SO MUCH! E-eh? where’s (Y/N)?” 

Turning their heads, their bodies jolt in horror at the stern look of Saeko, hand on hip and flaming aura threatening to burn the tatami mat near the doorway standing before them, with you hovering in disapproval next to her.

Yes they did get their ass beat by Saeko in the middle of the night and you had to be their personal teddy bear to squeeze for therapy in the aftermath.

On to dates, they’re always SO!! FUN!!!

Paintball, Go-karting, arcades, themeparks you name it. They love having a great time with you and being free to goof off. 

Whenever you go on rollercoasters you can tell Ryu is shitting himself, but Noya’s manly speeches are just enough to help him go through with it. You slip a hand to Ryu for a comforting hand hold, to which Noya whimpers dejectedly in response so you end up intertwining your fingers with him in the other it’s so cute ohegwagkjs.

Your lungs always hurt from laughing so hard by the end of every date.

Who knew they were capable of producing such a high pitched scream when the coaster drops????

Can I just say rainy days spent with them are the BEST.

Curled up into a ball beside the loves of your life, coco in hand and laughing like dorks at a shitty horror movie.

Which ofc they make into a competition of who can scare each other the most.

Don’t be fooled, it’s just an attempt to spook you so you bury your head in their chest.

Lastly, HNNNNGG KISSING THEM IS H E A V E N.

It’s the literal definition of trouble, and make it double with these two.

Sitting on Ryu’s lap, his soft lips will ghost over your neck as Noya’s are pressed passionately against your own, his hand cheekily squeezing your thigh.

 I swear they become telepathic and their singular brain cells fuse when it comes to you because they are SO in sync while pleasuring you.

Imma stop before I get carried away oop-
