#this could also work with Kai!!

yeah so this was insane

[sukibenders]

Is it just me or does the way Hera is portrayed in the PJO/HOO series feel out of touch? By that I mean, while it plays into the idea of Hera's relationship with her husband's children and ideals of family, it seems like Rick just took that and ran with it without actually wanting to dive into those aspects and develop them more (ngl, his writing for his female characters, especially the goddesses, could use some work even if I do enjoy them). The reason Hera is the way she is with her husband's children is because she can't punish him [Zeus] directly due to him being more powerful (and the last time she turned against didn't he literally hang her from the sky)? And even while I'm not justifying her actions, there's a method to them, so why would she go after other random demigods like Percy and Annabeth? Or at least in a way that was written better than her falling into a trope (I enjoy this series with my heart, but the criticism about how the gods are written holds some value that shouldn't just be ignored either). Like, I don't know, it just feels like there was more that could've been done with her character instead of just immediately writing her off as the cruel, cold-hearted, evil stepmother (a trope that's overplayed, especially when not even bothering to give them any depth). I could write ideas, but then we'd be here all day.

betrothal au is so funny actually. jay & cole are still beefing because of the love triangle, except cole has been engaged to skylor the whole time. chen made sure that cole and skylor's rooms are next to each other so kai has to look to the balcony on the other side of cole's to make googoo eyes at skylor. skylor unintentionally cracks kai's egg. kai sees cole and skylor doing a lil waltz in the courtyard one night and immediately joins jay in giving cole the stinkeye over lunch. chen sees cole and skylor sneaking off and gets one of his underlings to play romantic music in whatever room they go to. clouse suggests just using a love potion to ensure cole turns against the ninja but chen wants that to happen organically because he thinks it's funny/more satisfying. cole and skylor make up stupid pet names that make no sense. soap opera level drama. chen going all bridezilla for what should be his daughter's special day, bc he's chen.

it's all so funny. to me <3

One of my current favourite headcanons (idk if this is original or not, who knows) is that the Ninja have a sort of "Spiderman" type of relationship with the citizens of Ninjago.

Say for example say the Ninja are in Ninjago City, they're hopping from building to building and looking for crimes to stop.

But occasionally when they set foot on the ground, they start talking with people and take photos with them, and the people of the city know that they shouldn't go into "obsessed fan" mode if they see The Ninja.

They know that The Ninja are sorta busy, and they don't want to bother the already preoccupied protectors of the city with crazy fan stuff, so instead they just take photos and ask (in a really shy way) for autographs, like that's the most they're willing to push it.

It's become an unspoken rule between the people at this point:

If you see The Ninja, be yourself.

They're just your Friendly Neighbourhood Ninja.

Out of my never ending curiosity when it comes to Kai Hiwatari, I searched for his name on that AI chat thing. And it got so awkward during the first minute, it wasn't even 10 sentences and the bot already asked if I had a boyfriend. There are two more bots and I want to try them too, but the one I did talk to was so OOC... (I don't believe Kai would ask anyone to be his girlfriend that fast. No way in hell. I would have a much easier time writing all of my fanfics if he did.)

Update: I made the other bot blush with my 3rd response

Update 2: the last bot was the most challenging but I still managed to break it and make it be nice to me. Summary: AI Kais start acting OOC as soon as relationships are involved.

Hey, quick questions. What's worse? Violating a dumb clause of a contract that you signed (when the clause should not exist in the first place) in a way that is not harming anyone and filling the world with love in the process or....being a fucking narc?

“You ain’t never had a friend like me!”

TLC // Aladdin AU

Rumours say that a faulty Iko unit exists that grants their master three wishes. When the cyborg Cinder stumbles over it and accidentally frees the exuberant Iko, she knows right away what her first wish would be - to be a princess worthy of the young Emperor Kaito she met once before at her market stall.

One wish later, Princess Selene enters the scene and she and Kai hit it off - Iko knows a thing or two about match-making after all. When everything goes according to plan, it’s easy for Cinder to promise Iko her freedom with the next wish.

But Kai’s advisor Levana has her own agenda - if only she could get her hands on Iko, the Eastern Commonwealth would be hers.

Cinder // Aladdin

Kai // Jasmine

Iko // Genie

Levana // Jafar

ngl i think it'd be very poggers for yo-kai watch to do like. a slice-of-life anime series where every episode (or couple of episodes) revolves around a different person with a yo-kai watch.

i realistically feel like there's probably a good amount of people with yo-kai watches after all so i feel like there's a lot of potential, like some of them would probably only have a couple of really close yo-kai friends and some might have a lot. maybe some of them let their human friends and families in on yo-kai existing. etc., etc.

i know digimon's done that kind of thing (albeit in oneshot manga form) and i feel like it'd also work really well with yo-kai watch. i mean i doubt that many yo-kai are buying yo-kai watches for themselves, yopple has to get money SOMEHOW and it's probably mostly through either human sales or yo-kai buying them to give to humans-

Hii howudoingg

If it’s ok can I ask you to write something about Kai saving a child from whatever or whoever it is. He’s just so big and strong he gives off vibes of someone that can protect🥺 Totally not self insert ahah Kai father figure is everything😭✨

FatherFigure!Kai x Child!Reader: Saved From Becoming Demonic Dinner

The demon had come without warning; it never did, but the routine attack had come sooner than usual, and Y/N had been unfortunate enough to be caught outside when it came.

It was huge, slobber dripping down its enormous fangs, those jutting out of a gaping maw big enough to swallow a grown buffalo whole. It scrambled through the marketplace on six squat legs, viciously knocking aside stalls and gnawing apart anything that came in its path- so far, these had all been wooden carts or produce and merchandise, but now its glowing red eyes were on Y/N, the child stumbling behind the panicked herd of people.

Y/N couldn't tear their eyes away from the monster, so they didn't look where they were going, and ended up tripping. They landed on their hands, and tried to get up, but fear overwhelmed and paralyzed them as they heard the demon scrambling ever closer, making horrible, eager sounds of hunger. Closer...closer...

They thought it was over, their eyes closing in preparation for the darkness of death, body bracing for the impact of teeth through flesh- but the jaws never closed around them. There was a noise of impact, a grunt, and then Y/N looked up.

A large yak was holding the demon's jaws, preventing them from clamping down on the child. His own jaw was set in determination, but there was something strange about his eyes- green, glowing- and he had four horns. The demon stepped forward, pushing the bull back slightly, digging grooves into the dirt. The yak snorted and turned to look over his shoulder at Y/N.

"Run, dammit!" He snapped.

Y/N didn't wait for further instructions. Control of their limbs returned to them in an instant, and they rushed away, stumbling over the debris of ruined stalls while trying not to be crushed by the tide of other fleeing survivors. But they couldn't leave it there. Another impulse gripped them, and they dived into an isolated alley, hiding behind a barrel to watch the results of the fight between the demon and the bull with the strange eyes.

It wasn't a long fight. The bull had no armor save for the helmet and leather wrapped around his forearms, and the only weapons he wielded were two blades attached to chains at his belt that glowed the same shade of green as his eyes- and yet, these seemed sufficient. The demon was fast despite it's bloated form, dragging itself along as it did, but the bull was deceptively faster.

The demon charged, gnashing its teeth, trying to get a bite out of its opponent, but whenever it came close, the blades swung out, tasting its flesh instead. Black blood dribbled on the ground out of gashes in its hide, and it shrieked and lunged madly for the bull again. Then the bull grinned, and in a move that made Y/N's heart jump into their throat, suddenly leapt to all fours and charged at its gaping maw head-on!

Y/N was about to scream, fearful that their savior would end up in the demon's gullet- but then the bull twisted his head, catching the demon's side with his horns and flipped it over. The demon scrambled to get up, to protect its vulnerable belly, and then the bull had his blades again, and-

Y/N gasped and looked away; it was for the best, judging by how disgustingly wet the sound was. There was a long pause. Then it sounded like the bull had sighed.

They opened their eyes and looked up. The yak was looking down at them. He had a rag in one hand, and was cleaning one of his blades with the other. Its twin was holstered again at his hip. He and Y/N stood that way, staring at each other in silence as the bull cleaned his blade. Then he holstered it, tossed the rag away, and chuckled, putting his hands on his hips and surveying all of the damage.

"I thought it might be helpful to have some demons in my arsenal...but clearly, that didn't work out." The bull rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "Oh, well," he sighed, somewhat sing-song. "Should have known better than to bite off more than I could chew...or rather, something that wanted to bite me...and everything in general."

He snorted in amusement, and then those glowing eyes were on them again. The child tensed, gripping the front of their shirt nervously. The bull had saved them, but now they wondered from the appraising glance he threw their way if he had only saved them for later.

But then he snorted again and bent down to their level (well, he tried, he still towered over them). One of his hooves extended and gently poked their nose. "Don't you have dinner to go eat, or bedtime, or something? What are you still doing out?"

Y/N scrunched up their nose and stepped back. "I wanted to make sure you were ok."

The bull's brows raised in slight amusement. "And what would you have done if I wasn't?"

Y/N looked at the ground and shrugged. "I don't know."

The bull chuckled. "Been eaten up as a little dessert, I bet. Ha. Luckily I could handle myself."

He must have seen how downtrodden the child had gotten, because he reached down and ruffled their hair. "I appreciate the thought, though. It was stupid, but almost brave. You get credit for trying."

The child turned their eyes up to him, and took this gentleness as permission to bombard him with questions.

"Why are your eyes all weird? And why do you have four horns?"

"I'm a Spirit Warrior."

"A good spirit? Are you a good guy?"

The bull fell silent, again regarding the child with those terrifying eyes.

"...Depends on your point of view."

"Who are you?"

The strange eyes widened, flashing for a moment, but with indignation rather than anger. "Who am I?! What do you mean? I'm General-"

He cut himself off, grumbling under his breath for a moment before releasing it all with a sigh. "...You know what? Forget it. Just call me Kai. And you?"

The child sniffed and wiped their nose on a sleeve. "I'm Y/N."

"Well, Y/N, let's get you home, then."

He lifted them by the back of their shirt, hauling them up and into the crook of his other arm without effort. Kai walked through the ruins of what had once been the market place- it was too dark to see clearly, but there were lumps of things laying around (produce, maybe? By why were the lumps so big?)- but before Y/N could get a good look, Kai suddenly pressed the back of their head into his chest, and their face smushed into the coarse fur. They didn't hear a heartbeat.

"Where do you live?" He asked, casually, though Y/N couldn't answer because their mouth was currently full of his fur. They tried to mumble something past it- a few times.

"Hm?"

He released them, and they turned their head to look up at him. It was dark out, save for the outlines of buildings they could recognize against the star filled sky. They were no longer in the market, and their surroundings were more familiar. Kai's eyes glowed brighter than ever in the dark. Y/N searched around for certain landmarks- the broken cart in front of the neighbors', the potted bamboo woven into decorative braids, then the round cobbles- there! A lantern was on, and their parents and neighbors were on the porch, calling their name, apparently about to begin a frantic search.

Kai watched them and chuckled with amusement. "Well, aren't you popular," he said, and gently placed Y/N on the ground. "Better go and let them know you're okay."

He nudged them forward and then turned to leave. But Y/N couldn't let him go like that, not after what he had done. They stumbled after him and locked their little arms around one of his legs. The yak tensed and paused to look over his shoulder at them. His brow furrowed, but he didn't pull away.

"Thank you for saving me," Y/N said.

Kai didn't say anything for a bit. Then he made a rumbling sound like a chuckle and gently shook the child off his leg. He bent down again, rubbing his knuckles against the top of their head.

"No problem. But here's a little advice: get inside before dark, and don't hang around when there's a demon on the loose. You'll live longer."

also i DID finally get some other dream figures of mine yesterday. serah is one of my favs of all time and im rly glad i managed to get them both!!

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

one of the minor yet inconvenient part of having a dysfunctional family is trying to get in touch with them and having to go on a wild goose chase because i dont know what name my uncle is going by.

theres three likely contenders for last name and five contenders for first name, including one i dont particularly want to search because it was a nickname he got growing up in the 70s and 80s.

it is a Mess™
