#total shocked pikachu face

[pangur-and-grim]

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

[allekat1988]

I’m playing Fallout 4 for the first time ever (I know how late I am to the party) and I’m playing through Blind Betrayal and if I could be honest for a second and maybe it’s just me… But it seems like it would have made more sense to tell Danse you love him during the mission, not after. I mean, they could have set it up where you refuse to kill him and he gets mad about it (or depending on where it’s timed, he and Maxson both get pissed) and asks why, and Sole tells him and then work out his max affinity from there.

KIMALLURA ADVENTURING DAYS FLASHBACK?!?!?!?!?

[drwho-ess]

In case anyone wants to relate to this for way to long did I think that the money system in the Tortall universe by Tamora Pierce used weird shaped coins 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was only like 5 years ago that it clicked that no they’re just normal coins like quarters flat with an image on both sides

It’s up there with thinking beka cooper just has jars of dirt in her rooms to make the dirt packets for the spinners that also lives rent free in my head but based off a read through she likely just takes sachets with her when she goes out to make them

I also have another wack idea

Damian is Bruce's biological child with Talia, so what if Bruce had a child with another powerful assassin years ago, so batsis is basically Damian's big sister from different mothers. BUT, batsis lived with her clan because ain't no way the clan is letting THEIR assassin raised by Batman. Plus, batsis sees Bruce's low EQ and failures and go 'ew wtf'. A total mommy's girl.

Bruce trying to pst pst pst his biological child to join his family in Gotham and she's like 'no? tf?'

HER DYNAMIC WITH DAMIAN WILL BE SO FUNNY. Damian is raised to believe bloodline superiority fight for the heir blablabla and batsis is like "then have him?? I don't want our dad, I don't even know why YOU want our dad"

Batsis just wants to vibe with her mama

This is absolutely funny but I beg you this concept.

He'res the thing. Damian doesn't even wanna be with Bruce..lmao. Like baby boy was a whole prince and now he's in the ghetto with commoners...he's pissed off.

You got to stay over with your clan????...he hates you. Like it's not fair. He wants to be an assassin and live by the rules he's grown up with his mom but no. He hasn't seen his mom in a year....

You come to visit to get to see who your father is because he's supposedly so damn great...then it's like oh. yeah nvm. Like the whole bird thing is weird to you.

Maybe Damian tries to assert dominance by being the "true official one and only my father loves me more" a blood child blah blah...

"fuck off Damian, I wouldn't want to be caught dead here anyways. Btw. Bruce looks like a moron in that cowl."

*shocked Pikachu face*

Bruce is trying to force you to stay because you are a new child for his collection and Damian is having a whole tantrum. Funny if Damian teams up with you and helps you stay away from his dad so you can be out of his hair.

Damian gives you shit and tries to force you to confess that he is the better blood sibling before he breaks you out of the restraints,,,,

Having a whole fist fight after he breaks you out because he cannot stop being a little shit.

Bruce eventually hearing the commotion and ya'll both be in trouble now...

*Damian secretly starts to become obsessed with the rivalry and doesn't want you to go but won't admit it so he starts sabotaging you.*

[sleepyparalysisdmon]

SVT when you ask them for 'help'

You lament to your friend that your latest hookup didn’t quite cut it. 

Genre: suggestive (with no explicit smut), but MDNI.

Seungcheol

You didn't even have to ask. When you lament about your frustration lately, he’s openly offering to help. He’ll kind of laugh at your surprised pikachu face and call you cute, and you’re thinking ‘where the hell did this come from??’ But then he’s crowding your space and asking what you usually like and your mind will go blank. ‘Tell me what they did wrong so I can fix it’, he says sweetly. He’s never made you nervous before but his hands creeping under your shirt does now. Of course you’ll tell him what you want and he’ll reward you tenfold for your honesty. Deceptively casual about it later. You’d never know it’s all he’s been thinking about lately.

Jeonghan

I’m sure you saw this coming, but he’ll tease you relentlessly. ‘Pick someone better next time,’ he’ll say unapologetically as he coos at your frustrated expression and pinches your flushed cheeks. Bitterly, you’ll say something like, ‘What? Like you could do better?’ You’ve unlocked his ego because of course he could and he’ll say so. He loves to rile you up, so he’ll tell you exactly what he’d do in great detail just watch you flush even more and squirm. Finally, he’ll lean in close and ask if that’s what you want. He’ll be happy to help you out if you beg ask nicely. The mask of confidence will slip a little as he sees how much you enjoy his touch and he’ll quickly realize that he’s playing with fire. 

Joshua

Tries to hide his entertainment at your frustration. You guys are too open and honest so he gets all of the details about what this person did wrong. He does have some sympathy when you’re so frustrated you look like you might cry, so he finds himself offering to help you if you want it. When you ask if he’d really do that, the answer is simply ‘of course’. He promises nothing would change, but the moment he sees your eyes shift at his touch, he knows he’s accidentally lied. Your little faces and sounds are going to be addictive to him. 

Jun

‘You want me to do what?’ He’s totally bug eyed when you ask him for help. He doesn’t know what to say so he lets you ramble for a long time about how you trust him and you know he wouldn’t make it weird and you’re just really frustrated and need a release. When you don’t get much of a reaction from him, you start rambling about how sorry you are for even asking and that you didn’t mean to make him uncomfortable and how you hope he can forget about it. He’s cutting you off with a kiss because of course he’ll help you, he just needed a minute to wrap his head around the request. One of the few that will totally go back to normal afterwards.

Hoshi

‘What?!… Okay, let’s go.’ He’ll leave you in the dust as he rushes down the hall to your bedroom. You’re left wondering why he switched between shock and acceptance so quickly. He’s so eager to please once you’re both in the bedroom that you have to push him back for a minute to take a breather and ask if he’s really okay with this. ‘Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?’ His response is so simple that you can’t really argue with it. Nothing changes afterwards (except for the crushing weight of his new-found feelings, but you won’t catch him saying anything about it now). 

Wonwoo

Will look totally unimpressed with the suggestion. ‘What’s in it for me?’ He’ll ask and you’ll gape at him. ‘What do you mean, Wonwoo? I’m offering to let you hit it.’ Eventually he’ll shrug and tell you to get on with it before he changes his mind. As soon as you’re in his lap and can feel how hard he is, you get the idea that his attitude might have just been an act. Expect very little to change afterwards, but he’ll be replaying that interaction for a while in his head and kind of wishing you’d ask again. 

Woozi

Another one on team totally unimpressed. In fact, he looks so put out by the suggestion that you drop it and move on. It’s him that brings it up again a week later asking if you really meant it and if you were still interested. When you say yes, he’s slow to start if only because he’s still not totally convinced you’re into it. When you start stripping, it changes his mind and things start to move fast after that. Won’t tell you, but he wishes he’d gone about this differently because the feelings he experiences afterwards are consuming.

DK

He feels sorry for you, he does. He wants you to be happy, and he’s sorry that the people you’ve been with lately aren��t making you happy. But he DOES NOT feel that him helping like this is the solution. You drop it because it felt like a firm no and don’t give him a lot of specifics about the next bad hookup. However, he hates seeing you like this and does eventually come around to the idea. You’re one of his best friends after all and he wants you to be happy. And the more he thinks about it, the more touched he is that you came to him of all people. He thinks he’ll just do enough to get you off and then move on, but changes his mind when he finds out how much he enjoys watching your little reactions. This will surely make him realize he’s been misinterpreting his feelings for you all along and what a dramatic crisis that will be. 

Mingyu

Another one that will absolutely deny the request initially because he genuinely only had platonic feelings for you. You drop it, but the thought lingers with him enough to mention it to one or two of his members. They simply cannot believe that he turned down that opportunity and his jaw drops when he asks if they would have taken the opportunity and they cry out ‘yes, you idiot!!’ He’ll rethink his logic and boldly ask if you’re still interested. Having you underneath him later that night makes him realize just how wrong he was, both to turn you down and to also assume that what he felt was platonic. 

Minghao

The last of the unimpressed team. A simple raise of his eyebrow lets you know that you might have gone too far. You start to backpedal - it’s just been a long time, and you trust him, and you’re sorry if the request was too much and it won’t happen again. He simply shakes his head, chuckling. ‘It’s not a no, it’s a why now.’ Makes you talk about it before he’ll so much as touch you and the conversation feels so soul-bearing that you’re nervous when he finally does reach out for you. But your comfort always comes first, so he’ll make sure you walk away happy. There’s no big realization because he already knows how he felt, but now he has to come to terms with the fact that he knows you in a more intimate way and really enjoyed it.

Seungkwan

Stunned. Flabbergasted. Outraged. You’re not surprised by this overzealous reaction, but still, you laugh it off and say, ‘It was just an idea, Seungkwan. You can shoot it down.’ He mouths off some more, saying that he should and that you’re crazy, but then he’s pressed up against you kissing the life out of you. Your head spins at the sudden sensations, but this is what you wanted, right? Later, he’ll have to grapple with the way that being with you made him feel, but he won’t be saying anything about it until he’s ready. 

Vernon

Just shrugs and says ‘okay’. You know he’s laidback, but this is a whole other level. You raise an eyebrow and ask him if he understands what you just asked of him. ‘Yeah, you want me to help you come.’ Okay. Okay, okay, okay, got it. Cool, cool, cool. He can tell he’s surprised you so he eases into it with a lot of soft touches to get you to relax. He’s not really one to initiate a lot of physical contact, but boy do you wish he would now that you know how it feels. Later, he’s still just as casual about it. That is, until he’s staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night when he can’t sleep because he’s just had an ‘oh’ moment. 

Chan

Have you guys seen that thing where one of the members says ‘maybe we should kiss because we’re bored’ and he’s like, ‘no thanks, that’s weird’? Yep, that’s his reaction. But he watches you deflate before his very eyes and his mind screeches to a halt, because, wait, you were serious??? Presses the issue even though you want to drop it now because you’re embarrassed. You hesitantly explain and he finally frowns and says, ‘if you’re sure’. He knows he’s in trouble with the way your eyes light up at his acceptance, but he knows he’s in wayyyy too deep when he sees you underneath him. Yeah, he’s going to be a little weird afterwards if only because he can’t get that interaction out of his mind.

[ivymarquis]

Okay y’all know those reddit posts where the husband forces the wife into opening the marriage because he wants a free pass to cheat and she’s forced to say yes because the option is that or divorce? And then the husband legitimately expects the wife to just stay home and not do anything while he’s having fun because she loves him. And then eventually she decides if the relationship is open then she should probably find someone too, and then the husband is all shocked pikachu face about it and wants to close the relationship back up because “it’s different because Im sleeping with different women I don’t care about, and you’ve got an entire boyfriend so it’s cheating D<“

Meanwhile the boyfriend is a cinnamon roll who is totally trying to finesse the wife out from underneath the husband because she deserves better??? That he’d happily be committed to her and only her if she leaves him?

1) that shit butters my biscuit on so many levels

2) that concept, with Graves x Reader as the married couple with König as the boyfriend lmfao

Hi, I hope you're having a great day! May i have a mini hc request?

M6 and MC are hanging out on Rowdy Raven just to reunite everyone and have fun, and they start to joke around. MC usually doesn't make these kind of jokes, but today they randomly sees a opportunity and makes the dirtiest joke they could, and acts like nothing happened afterwards. How would the M6 react?

(MC isn't the innocent type, but it's not like them to make that kind of joke)

also, if the subject is too suggestive and you don't feel comfortable, you can totally ignore this request!

-🍧

The Arcana Mini-HCs: When MC tells a dirty joke

based on this ask arcana response

Julian: *surprised pikachu face* he doesn't know if he feels betrayed by this or attracted to it. the worst part is that you're acting so casual, like you didn't just do the most hilariously uncharacteristic thing

Asra: laughing quietly, but so hard that their shoulders are shaking and they're at risk of falling out of their chair. so proud of you for seizing the opportunity that he gives you a pat on the head

Nadia: for once - speechless. coming from anyone else in a friendly conversation, she's find it annoying, but from you? out of the blue?? she didn't know you could think that way??? stutters and zones out

Muriel: it went over his head. at least, it did at first, until he saw the room's reaction and started trying to figure out what was so funny or shocking about it. looks at you like this: O////O when he figures it out

Portia: you know that shocked smile? the "I don't know what to think, but that was priceless" smile? Yeah, you're getting one of those until she gets herself together and launches into playfully scolding you

Lucio: howling with delighted laughter. once he catches his breath, he's building off your joke and proving that it can, in fact, get even filthier. and yes, he will put the blame on you if people get upset

[spacedlexi]

As someone who loves both Kenny and Violet, I feel like I’ve found my calling here 😭😭😭

They’re genuinely so similar, and I do agree that the fandom has male bias, as well as protagonist bias actually

Clementine has the opportunity to befriend/romance Violet and then let her get kidnapped 20 minutes later. And for Violet, that is the most obvious feeling of betrayal! I don’t understand why people in the fandom struggle to realize that their actions have consequences

Lee can basically hate Kenny the entirety of the first season and then the fandom defends Kenny for his actions.

Clearly most of us totally understand Kenny’s response to Lee’s and by extension Clementine’s behavior, so why can’t they understand Violet’s response to Clem’s? Makes no sense to me

honestly i feel like aside from having a male bias the fandom has more of a kenny bias than a protag bias. i see his ass EVERYWHERE. CONSTANTLY. some people act like he raised clem as much as lee did 😭 (and i dont like the way the fandom talks about clem sometimes 😒 ties into the "weird about women" stuff)(and javi? wheres javi? i would like to see more javi. i actually think i see david more than javi)

anyway. i DO find kenny to be a compelling character and understand Why hes popular. its why i initially thought vi would be more popular among those fans! people who like both kenny and vi i can trust to have understood the assignment 💀 because they really do share similarities. but things some people LOVE kenny for they absolutely LOATHE violet for. and its just???? whats not clicking???

i really dont understand why some people act So Shocked by violets reaction in the cells. like hello?? YOU did this to her??? shes done nothing but put herself on the line for clem (even if clem is mean and ungrateful about it), and the One time vi needs clem to have her back, she doesnt (even tho its an impossible choice to make, and deep down vi understands this). and people shock pikachu face when it pushes her back to minnie like no shit??? but i dont think theyre even paying attention to violets character in the first place so 🙄😑 violet settled into that leadership position on her own and not only do you strip her of that role by letting her get taken she also feels discarded by the One Person who was actually influencing her to change for the better in the first place. AND you can do it all 20 minutes after kissing her. of course shes hurt!!! but people act like shes soooo unreasonable for her behavior (and vi would later agree with them! she tries apologizing to clem on the beach actually. thats how quickly she regrets it. but its too late at that point for her i guess 🙄 irredeemable. to the stocks)

kenny will Literally refuse to help lee look for clem if you pissed him off too much like 😭?? if you arent kissing kennys ass 24/7 he is the worlds biggest bitch about it. but endless excuses for kennys behavior for some reason 🤨 him trying to save ben (or christa but its better with ben narratively) is his first Real selfless act and its why its such a compelling conclusion for his S1 arc (only compounded by the fact its BEN of all people hes trying to save, the reason his family is dead). and S2 kenny is all about how his mental health is in sharp decline and hes becoming more violent as he attempts to control what he cannot 💀 kenny defenders out here using up all the oxygen in the room to make excuses for his actions but the minute vi makes One mistake she immediately regrets (after being nothing but loyal), shes an evil bitch deserving of what she got 😐

gee i wonder why 😭😔

[watchingblsnowandforever]

Hello.

Listen, I'm still not over ep 11 yet. AND THEN THEY GIVE ME THIS I- *muffled screaming*

Anyways, welcome to my crack posts. =D

Warning: long post 😊😅 (I somehow took even more screenshots than last time 😭)

I knew something like this would happen hehe

Also-

Don't lie, Peem, he'd already won your heart the moment he said "Na, krab" with those puppy eyes

I love how despite thinking they're enemies up till this point, Tan immediately jumps on the ship the moment he learns it exists.

Fang: cute. <3

Q: cutee. <33

Shy babygirl Peem has my whole heart 🥺🫶🏼

Yeah? Anyone specific you want to draw a portrait of, Peem? Someone from Engineering, maybe? Someone who confessed to you in front of all your combined friends just last night? No? 👀

This smile. This goddamn smile. I get you, Peem, I totally get you.

Q peeking in small into the bag is so accurate 😭

As I'd said in my previous post: "Right in front of my salad?!" and "Something very LGBT just happened to me o.o"

NOSE BOOP

I love nose boops hehe

[Phum: I have to go to class.]

You actually go to class?! *pikachu meme face*

Q's face perfectly expresses my feeling, and I'm definitely saving these as meme pics

Peem's plan to be hit on backfired so fast so hard 😭

Poor boy went into shock 😭

Peem is never hearing the end of this from Q. Never.

I love their friendship though. Besties forever. <3

Toey looks so excited here 😭🫶🏼

He's definitely over the moon that his two beloved hias finally realized they like each other (and of course he manifested this wdyem)

Throwing stones from inside a glass house, huh Q?

You're just as bad as, if not worse than Peem.

*shaking my head fondly* these boys are so whipped for their baes

This ep gave me a lot of meme pic ehehe

Why so surprised, Peem? You were the one telling Phum to flirt on you, why so shy now huh?

Oh, Aunt Pui knows. She's just trying to help her nephew get a nice boyfriend hehe

Also- learning the family business early on? Nice move, Phum.

I'm pretty sure Aunt Pui will accept Phum as family the very instant they start dating.

Actually- she probably already has.

What will you be tying next? The knot?? (I am so so happy I can make that joke and actually mean it now.)

Oh, and I love love love their dynamics. I'm always looking for verse because I don't like active power dynamics, but this show really delivered on it. There's always a push and pull, but throughout, they're equals. Yes, even through that slave era (remember how exactly Peem came to be his slave?). It did start off with a slight imbalance, but it evened out pretty fast (because Phum is incapable of not being the cutest clingy little puppy for more than ten minutes and Peem is weak for it).

PhumPeem/PeemPhum is giving me so much that I'd thought I'd almost never get from BLs (there are a few other examples, I think, but this is probably my topmost).

I don't know if y'all have noticed, but Phum is deliberately soft and is often using polite pronouns for the last two episodes.

It's just... they're so pretty 😭

This scene is just >>>

He-

HE LEARNED LATTE ART JUST TO USE THIS LINE WITH PEEM I'M DYING OH GODS

Phum is 200% committed. Other upcoming BL romantic interests, please take notes.

Jokes aside, what started out as a potential red flag (even two years ago, this relationship would have been very very different) turned into the greenest flag (with a side of childhood trauma).

Did he just-

He almost confessed!!! So close!!

Also- please give me them as boyfriends already, I'm on my hands and knees. But can you imagine what they'll be like when they actually start dating...?

...

I CAN'T WAIT. GIMME NOW. *grabby hands*

This scene made me speechless. Ep 12 was full of beautiful, absolutely stunning scenes, but this was what took my breath - his cute smile that lights up his whole face, his "Pai, krab" and the sheer relief when Peem asks him if he wants to go.

For a moment there, he thought Peem would leave, just like all the people in his life. He knows it wouldn't be permanent, but it's hard to get rid of such an old, deep-rooted fear.

But Peem, unknowingly, immediately waves it away by asking him if he wanted to come with. The only thing is... I don't think it was that unknowing.

I'll end part 1 on this note. Part 2 will be posted soon!

If you've reached this far, thank you so much for reading! 😊

Here, have a doughnut 🍩

And here are my previous We Are posts.

[Ted briefly yelps in surprise as he's pulled. Everything warps and bends for a few long eternities. And then...]

[Nothing. Well, something, but not nearly as much something as he was used to. Everything was significantly less...yellow, for lack of a better word.]

...huh?

[Ted's voice is small and baffled as his mind tries to take in the fact that everything isn't happening at once anymore. Distantly in the back of his mind, he can still feel it lurking, but it's much further away than usual. Not nearly as overbearing.]

[Everything is so clear and not yellow-]

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

Fuma ✧ Don’t go into the tall grass

✧ &Team Fuma x gn!reader ✧ words: ~2k ✧ genre: domestic fluff, some humor ✧ warnings: none

Desc.: In which your boyfriend Fuma teaches you how to play Pokemon and he doesn’t expect you to like it so much.

Author’s note: this was totally not written for @tomorrowxneverland who has never played Pokemon in her life <3 …yeah I got a little carried away while writing this, it wasn’t supposed to be nearly this long aklsjdöflksa but I hope you enjoyyy~!!!

“What…?” You watch as your boyfriend’s expression changes, his mouth opening and closing several times as the shock on his face grows, and eventually he manages to form words into a sentence. “What do you mean, you’ve never played Pokemon?!”

“I… have never played Pokemon is what I mean by that.”

“Yes, no, but!” Fuma attempts to say something, but his brain fails him. He’s been excitedly rambling about the topic for almost an hour now, and it’s not that you don’t like listening to him when he gets really into it. It’s just that you never really got the chance nor had any interest in playing the games when you were a kid, and so you have close to zero knowledge about Pokemon - except for a few names you’ve memorized as he was telling you about his collection, and, of course Pikachu, because who doesn’t know Pikachu? And now that you’ve reached a point in the conversation where he decided to ask you about your favourite Pokemon, you just couldn’t avoid addressing the elephant in the room anymore. 

“So yeah,” you start talking in hopes of helping the gears up in his head running smoothly again. “That’s why I can’t really tell you what my favourite is. Or who I always had on my team when playing because… I never did.”

“Well this is a huge problem…” He lifts his hand up to his face, covering half of his mouth as he seems to be sinking into thought, surrounded by some of his Pokemon plushies that he’s spread out on the floor as he was giving you some information about them. 

“What?” you snort. “Can’t date someone who’s never played Pokemon?” Your teasing is met with a strong reaction, your boyfriend immediately waving both his hands in front of his chest and shaking his head.

“Of course not!” he assures. “But… do you want to try? I think I have my old Nintendo somewhere here…”

“I mean… sure, why not?” you agree, and Fuma immediately jumps to his feet to take a few steps towards his wardrobe. Rummaging through a few boxes stored at the very bottom of it, it takes him only a few minutes to pull out the small game console, along with the charger and a rectangular box that can only be a Pokemon game. You’re amused by the few seconds of suspense as he tries to turn it on after sitting down next to you, and the sigh of relief that follows as the two screens light up. 

“Okay… I actually didn’t make all that much progress here so… it should be fine… to start a new game…” he mumbles more to himself than you, but the distress in his voice is evident.

“It’s fine, we can also play where you left off-” you attempt to assure him, but he’s already in the process of resetting the save file. 

“It’s fine,” he repeats. “I played the other version more, so that’s the one I’m really attached to.” You don’t really get what he’s saying, but you’re at least glad about the smile he’s showing you now. And then he starts the game for you and hands you the console.

The first few minutes are pretty self explanatory. You press A to advance in dialogue and tell the game whether you want to play as a girl or a boy and what your name is. There’s some old guy explaining stuff about the fictional world you’re about to enter, and that he’s a professor of some sort, and next thing you know you find your avatar waking up in what must be their room. For now your boyfriend is merely watching what you’re doing, but you can tell he’s using everything he has to keep himself from going on an excited rant and spoiling the entire story of the game for you. 

You don’t really pay much attention to the dialogue, wanting to get to the part where you get to catch some Pokemon soon, and luckily Fuma is right there to hint at what you should do next. You reach the part of the game where you have to walk out of what’s supposed to be your home village and follow your in-game friend.

“But I wanna go over there…” you protest, steering your avatar to the right. 

“Ah, you shouldn’t!” Fuma warns you.

“Why?”

“Didn’t you listen to your mother? There’s wild Pokemon in the tall grass, so you shouldn’t go in there yet!”

“But… if I wanna catch some, shouldn’t I go there…?”

“Yes, later,” he explains. “But you don’t have a single Pokemon on your team yet, and you need one to help you catch more!”

“And where do I get that…?” you ask, causing your boyfriend to chuckle at your impatience.

“Just keep playing for now. You’ll get there soon enough.” 

And just like he said, you do. You choose your starter Pokemon solely based on which of the three looks the cutest to you - Fuma praises you for your choice and explains that the first gym will be easy to beat with the one you picked - and complete your first battle without much trouble. The game teaches you the mechanics anyway, but still you have your boyfriend next to you telling you what to do if you’re unsure. 

“Is it fun?” he asks as the game is going over to the next day. 

“Yeah,” you answer absentmindedly, focusing your attention on the device in your hands. You hear him laughing softly at the image in front of him, and then he watches you play some more.

Eventually you get to the point where you have three Pokemon in your team, and somehow the directions your boyfriend is giving you are getting on your nerves a bit.

“It’s fine!” you tell him. “I think I got it now, let me try playing by myself!”

“Okay, okay…” he says, going quiet as he observes you. You run towards the next city you’re supposed to go to, and you don’t pay much mind to the two newly caught Pokemon both fainting, as your boyfriend had assured you earlier that you can always have them healed again. 

“I think it’s about time you-”

“I know,” you interrupt his attempted warning, not noticing how he watches your next move anxiously. Thanks to your starter Pokemon you manage to win the next fight, but now you find yourself wondering whether you should go back to the last village to heal them or keep walking towards the next one.

“Uhm, actually…” you speak up. “How far until I reach the next… uh… hospital?”

“The next city is still a bit away…” he willingly helps you. “But turning back is risky too. Don’t you have potions left?” You shake your head no. “I see… then you should probably go back to the last Pokemon center.”

“Okay.” So you turn around and you move, running right into a patch of tall grass, when you hear your boyfriend exclaiming next to you,

“Nooo, don’t r-... oh.” He lets out a sound of resignation as a wild Pokemon encounter gets triggered and you hear the unsettling warning sound signaling that your Pokemon only has a couple of HP left.

“So what do I do now?” you ask.

“Well, since you don’t have any potions left you’re gonna lose the battle and faint and then wake up at the last Pokemon center you visited,” Fuma explains calmly.

“Oh… and is that bad? Like, are there any consequences, like do I lose all my Pokemon?”

“No,” Fuma lets out a short laugh. “Nothing bad actually happens, aside from the humiliation of losing at a kid’s game.” You shoot him an empty look as the screen of the console in your hands goes black and it causes him to chuckle. “I’m kidding, it’s okay,” he says, now speaking softly and he extends his hand to pat your head once. “Just so you know for next time - Pokemon tend to appear more if you run through tall grass instead of walking slowly.”

“Oh…”

“It’s fine, everyone learns the hard way that you should always carry enough potions with you and better turn back sooner rather than later to get your team healed. But also…” He puts an arm around your shoulders and then points his chin at the window in his room. “I think it’s about time we get some food.”

“No.” Your immediate response makes him chuckle.

“No?”

“Just until I’m at the first gym.” And now Fuma laughs, leaning back and stretching his back with his hands up in the air.

“That will take waaaaay too long,” he explains. “I’ll have starved by then.”

“Then you get some food and I stay here.”

“Y/N,” he calls out your name, trying to sound strict but he still ends up talking more softly than he wants. “You need to eat well if you want to become the Champ!”

“The what?” 

“Right, you don’t know what that is either…” He lets out a sigh. And then, after a second of collecting his thoughts, he reaches out to capture your chin between his thumb and index finger, turning your head to make you look at him properly. “I’ll explain that to you while we’re eating, okay?”

“Hmpf…” You pout at him like a five year old would as their mom tells them to stop playing a game, but the smile he shows you as his gaze slowly wanders down to your lips stirs up an entirely different set of emotions deep within you.

“Come on,” he says. “We can play more later.”

“Only if I get a kiss…” you try to bargain, but Fuma just laughs at you and then he gets up.

“Come get it then,” he says, walking towards the door of his room slowly, giving you enough time to rise to your feet as well and to catch up with him. He willingly lets you spin him around as you reach him, and he meets you in the middle as you lean in to kiss him. His lips move against yours gently as he sets the pace and you have your palms placed on his shoulders to hold onto him. Too soon does he pull away, shooting you a grin that tells you you fell into his trap, but when you kiss him again you catch him off guard. And then, once you part you spin on your heels and walk back to where you had put the game console.

“Go get some food now,” you say, sitting back down and returning your full attention to the game. “I’ll tell you if I get stuck somewhere.” You hear your boyfriend letting out a massive sigh of disbelief over how him trying to trick you turned into him getting tricked himself. However, he knows any effort to try and convince you one more time to put the game down would only be in vain, so he simply accepts it and disappears out the door. 

You don’t think much of it anymore, simply focusing on the game in front of you, but when a few minutes later you hear him entering the room again, you look up in surprise.

“Not eating? Oh.” He sits down right next to you with a bowl of more leftovers than he can eat by himself, and as he holds out a bite to you, you find yourself grinning from ear to ear.

“Thanks,” you mumble, accepting the food he’s holding out to you, and bumping your head into his shoulder as you continue to play.

[ chapter one ] : what the fuck is that?

[ details ] : mentions of violence, possibly ooc miguel [ not really idk ], nothing too crazy if i say so myself, there is no smut in this chapter but will be some in future chapters.

series masterlist.

you had no clue what you were looking at. well, you had some clue but not enough to come to a sound conclusion.

you had been on your usual nighttime patrol, stopping the occasional robbery or assault when a few of the streetlights began to blow, stopping at the light in front of the building you rested on.

you straightened you posture as you sensed that you weren't alone, turning around just in time to narrowly dodge a lightning bolt hurtling towards your face.

"woah, what the fuck?" you dodge another bolt of lightning, rolling a decent amount away from your attacker. "who the fuck are you?"

"don't tell me you don't recognize me, spider-man?" the person on the roof sneered. you took a closer look and were still confused. you didn't know this person. one, you would remember fighting the budget version of zeus, and two, he called her spider-man.

"excuse me, did you just say spider-man? i mean i know we're in progressive times, but you can't just assume my gender identity. here, i'll even introduce myself. i'm spider-woman and my pronouns are-" you were cut off by another flash of lightning heading your way. you dodged in time and webbed the guy's hands and arms up before placing your hands on your hips. "you can't get mad try to kill me because you misgendered me. that's totally uncool."

"you're not spider-man. who the hell are you?" the man growled out, thrashing around in the webs. you threw you hands up in the air in disbelief.

"it's like you haven't listened to a word i said. first of all, i just told you that i'm spider-woman. and second of all, i asked you first and you still haven't answered me. were you bitten by pikachu or something? i mean not that i'm judging, everyone has a gimmick these days-" you paused in you rant as you watched the man seemingly glitch, taking a few step back as he fell down in pain. "okay, what the fuck was that?"

you didn't receive an answer as the man used his electrokenesis to break from your web. there was no room for another witty remark as a line of lightning flashed in your direction. "don't tell me your afraid of a little shock, spider-woman?"

"at least, you got the woman part right. i'll count that as progress. but could we do less fighting and more talking? i don't wanna hurt your ego, dude," you huff out. you over calculated your dodge and found yourself flinging through the air and into the side of a building. "that didn't tickle."

you used a web to pull yourself towards the attacker before knocking him off of his feet. his attacks never ceased as you tried to subdue him, constantly dodging lightning strikes and shockwaves.

"dude, could you stay still? i really don't wanna hurt you. i just wanna talk," you groan, dodging yet another shockwave before backing up and sitting on the ledge of the building. "so, who are you?"

"you know i'm not gonna answer that. defeats the whole purpose of the mask," the man responds, shooting a bolt your way. rather than dodging normally, you teleported on a separate ledge before continuing.

"it was worth a shot. look, i'm not sure what vendetta you have against your spider-man, but i'm not him. so, you'll really have nothing to gain if you try to kill me," you spoke, walking along the edge of the roof.

"it doesn't matter to me. spider-man or woman, i will end you," he growls out, shooting another bolt at you.

unexpectedly, you caught the bolt and it dissipated, instead being absorbed and turned into energy for you to use. the man's eyes widened as he watched your hands glow pink before you looked at him. "i told you, everyone has a gimmick these days."

you webbed his full body in illuminated pink web, cocooning him before sitting next to him. "i really didn't want to do that."

he went to retort but stopped when he noticed you weren't looking at him, but rather at the other side of a roof. a hexagon-shaped portal opened up and out stepped a tall, built masculine figure, donning a suit with a similar spider to your own.

"looks like you didn't need any help after all," he spoke, his voice low.

"told you she was good," a feminine voice spoke from behind you. you turned to see a woman on motorcycle, with her own spider-suit.

"anybody wanna tell me what's going on or am i going to have start assuming? because none of my guesses end well for either of you," you speak, standing up in a defensive stance. you begin to walk closer to the woman when your senses started to overdrive. "hold, you're... you're- what is this?"

"i'm spider-woman. just like you. except i'm not from this dimension. there's a lot that you don't know, but we can help you clear it up," the woman spoke, stepping off of her bike and walking towards you.

"could we wrap this up and head back to hq? you do the pep talk back there," the man suddenly spoke, hauling the webbed criminal up before tossing a device at you. "put it on."

"what is it?" you inspected the device, tapping on the screen a few time to determine if it was actually safe and not a trap.

"do you usually ask so many questions?" the masked man asked, knocking the squirming criminal out before placing his hand on his hip.

"are you usually this enigmatic?" you shot back, deciding to place the device around your wrist as it didn't seem to pose a threat. the masked man didn't offer a reply as he stepped into the portal, not sparing you another glance. you turned to look at the other spider-woman with a raised eyebrow.

"you get used to it," she said, wheeling her motorcycle over to the portal. "all you have to do is step through the portal. it'll lead you right to hq. and make sure you keep the gadget on, it'll stop you from glitching when you're outside of your dimension. don't ask, just follow after me."

she waltzed into the portal, leaving you alone on the roof. you hesitated toward the portal, looking around one more time before walking through.

"this better not fuck up my suit."

before you could grasp the fact that you were traveling to a new dimension, you were tossed out of the portal and onto a steel floor, groaning as your back made contact with hard material.

"i should've given you a heads-up about the landing. it's a little tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it eventually," the other spider-woman said, watching you as you stood from your spot on the ground.

"i'll take that as a sign to add padding to my suit," you brushed off your suit before looking up at the woman. "you gon' introduce yourself or..?"

"right. i'm jessica drew, but you can just call me jess. the brute that was with me earlier is miguel o'hara. he's the one that started this whole thing," jess spoke, leading you towards a set of doors.

"what is 'this whole thing'?" you asked, looking around the room before pausing by her side.

"y/n, welcome to the spider-society," she spoke as the two doors opened, revealing a large space occupied with a variety of spider-people.

you looked around, marveled by the varying spider-people. you had to take a few double-takes, particularly when you noticed spider-man on a horse that also donned a mask of it's own. you had never expected to meet another spider-person, let alone be surrounded by hundreds of people just like you.

"we are a growing task force composed of spider-people. we dedicate our time to catching anomalies and preventing the disruption of canon events. canon events are—," jessica began but was interrupted by you

"vital moments that are unchangeable, i know. i studied quantum physics enough to get a rough understanding of how the whole space and time continuum works. i just didn't think i'd be experiencing it myself. and can i just say, this is so fucking cool," you said, still glancing in every direction as the two of you approached the end of the long walkway, leading you into a backroom.

there were panels and screens on one side of the room and the other held an elevated platform where you spotted miguel standing.

"nice office you got here. totally not dark and creepy at all," you said to miguel, despite not looking in his direction.

"you're definitely a spider-variant," he spoke from the platform, not bothering to turn around as it slowly descended to the ground.

you pulled a face behind your mask. "i'm gonna assume that was an insult. thank you for such a warm welcoming."

"i do have a question for you, y/n. are you ever gonna remove the mask 'cause the whole spider-society thing kind of defeats the need for it at the moment," jessica said, taking a seat on a chair and pushing one over to you.

"oh, right," you pulled your mask off of your head, allowing your locs to fall upon your shoulders. "i'm not used to being able to tell people who i am."

"a black girl. was not expecting that one," jess muttered to herself before turning face miguel who also seem surprised at your appearance.

"you guys have been stalking me for lord know how long and you didn't know i was black? worst stalkers ever," you joked as you spun around in your chair, earning an amused smile from jess.

"vale, don't call it stalking. you're gonna make it weird," miguel groaned, swiping a hand across his face.

"just calling it how i see it," you laughed. you watched as miguel's face turned serious and jess turned her chair towards you. miguel opened his mouth to speak but was unable to get a word out as you spoke instead. "i'm in, by the way."

"wh-what? just like that?" miguel questioned, giving jess an exasperated look who gave him a shrug in response.

"you were gonna ask me to join your spider-crew, right? i had a feeling that you would. i'm in. i just had to fight someone who wasn't from my dimension and while he wasn't tough, i don't wish that on anybody else. so, i'm gonna help. now, could one of you teach me how to use this thing? you didn't really leave any instructions when you tossed it to me, big guy," you said, tapping your device a few times before looking at the other two in the room. jessica moved closer to you before explain how to use the device.

"i had a speech and everything. there's usually some kind of order to these kind of things," he continued, watching as you opened a portal, presumedly back to your world.

"i don't have time for order. gotta get back to the streets of new york. i'll be sure to come back when i'm not on patrol, hopefully you won't need me until then because i need a little time to wrap my head around this. i know i look calm and collected but i'm two spider-people away from losing my shit," you walked to the portal before calling over your shoulder. "sorry for anything that i break tomorrow."

the two of them watched as you walked through the portal and it closed behind you with jess being amused at your persona.

"hobie's gonna love her. i mean she's just like him," jessica states, still staring at where your portal once was.

"that's what i'm afraid of. one of him is bad enough."
