[bieles2017]

the thing thats crazy is mathieu as the permanent thorn in mads' side when hes not even mathieus Main Thorn lol. which is also why its highly beautiful to me the idea of like. ok hawld on im going into the tags

[aerofbreath]

Actually writing something based off of this post. Y'all really seemed to like it and I got scared LOLOL

(How it will probably go (written poorly written cause it's almost 7AM and I haven't slept yet) . Also I have no idea what I'm doing. This will be rewritten better in a fic maybe.)

Jason sighed as he made his way into Gotham University's gym. It was the middle of the day and Jason was there at a Startup Event posing as a guy who was interested in what people had to offer. He had only had maybe a total of four hours of sleep since he had patrol the night before. Granted, this wouldn't have affected him as much if he was more mentally prepared to be awake. The only reason why he's out here was because Bruce had woken him up an hour ago to tell him a little last minute about what he needed to do today. Originally, the plan was to do absolutely nothing. But now he has to investigate a guy that Bruce had his eye on as of lately.

The person he's looking for is a man named Danny Nightingale. Apparently he's been in Gotham for a couple years and only recently started making a mess of things. How it went under Bruce's nose is beyond him considering how freaked out Bruce was once he did find out.

Apparently, the guy has been making life changing machines. Little mechanical bees have been flying around Gotham really just sucking up all the pollution in the air and just depositing it somewhere. According to the media, they go back to some headquarters and into a bee hive looking structure to deposit all the pollution and sludge. From the photos shown, it's actually pretty impressive. Some guy actually making a change around here.

For Bruce- no. For Batman, this is just highly suspicious. Why would some guy make these positive life changing machines? For the better? No. No genius with the power to change the world would do it for the better. There's got to be some ulterior motive behind it.

At least, that's what Batman thinks.

Jason thinks it's all interesting. Maybe there is an ulterior motive but even then, at a scale so large that it's literally affecting the city in a positive way? You've got to be literally more insane than the Joker if you wanted to plaster your face everywhere at an event like this. Everyone else at this event seemed to show promise but compared to Danny Nightingale's company? They're literally all small fry.

Surprisingly enough, however, no one else seems to be at Danny's booth. Not even Danny. Jason frowned as he approached the booth and just looked at the machines on them. The Bees are kind of just flying in place and the moment that Jason even looked at them, the Bees immediately got to work. They flew around him like a puppy with wings, nuzzling against him and bumping into him so dumbly. And honestly?

It was actually kind of cute. You would think that being on such little hours of sleep and being grumpy the whole morning would really affect the pits inside him but no. He's surprisingly calm.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! They don't usually act like this," a voice stuttered out. A man hastily walked towards Jason as he gently plucked the Bees out of the air and brought it close to him.

"Uh, don't worry about it. I thought it was kind of..." Jason trailed out before locking eyes with the man who spoke.

This was Danny Nightingale. He was much shorter than Jason, only standing tall at 5' 5". His hair was fully black with only a white money piece right on his bangs. And his eyes? An alluring blue with only a hint of green at the center of his eyes. Honestly, the sight of Danny just about took Jason's breath away.

There was a subtle glow to him, almost making Jason think of there being some sort of meta activity going on but looking around the people in the area, no one but him seems to notice. Danny was concerned about Jason, that much is obvious. The way his eyes burrowed in concern then into confusion. It's strange why just looking at him made Jason's heart skip a beat, even though in hindsight, Danny looks much worse off than Jason.

That man looks like he hasn't slept in 3 weeks. But even then he was...

"Cute..." Jason finally finished his sentence a little too late.

Danny blinked in confusion, tilting his head to the side. His bangs fall freely over his eyes. Just the sight of that almost made Jason blush. "My bees were cute?" Danny spoke, the tone of his voice (very tired) sounded like a sweet harmony in Jason's ears. "Oh! You're interested in Nightech? No one else seems to be interested in my stuff yet. I can tell you all about this company and how it works? I put in a lot of work and love into these little guys and I'm sure you would love them too!"

Blah blah blah. Proper name. Place name. Backstory stuff.

Nothing of what Danny is saying is registering in Jason's brain right now. Maybe some. ("I... Love... You...")

"I love you too!!" Jason blurted out.

Danny blinked before widening his eyes. "Wh-What...?" There was that look of concern again but now there's another look. Recognition...

Whatever. None of that right now. This is embarrassing!

"I-I said I love your company. Uh. Do you have a business card? I can let Bruce Wayne know about this."

Wordlessly, Danny gave an information card to Jason before that poor brick of a man just ran out of there, not once even looking back. Honestly, from the way it's playing out in Jason's head right now, he feels like a princess running away from her prince at the stroke of midnight. The earpiece crackled before a voice started to speak.

"Jason? What the hell was that?" Bruce's voice questioned.

It was only when Jason left the gymnasium that he answered, "Me digging my own grave for the second time, old man. Let me go die in peace."

"No, no," Dick's voice chimed in, "Only after we replay that very short conversation about 50,000 times. Thank you very much."

Jason only groaned in response.

Danny, back in the gymnasium, only stared at the door that Jason left from in horror. The only way for people to react that way to him like that is for them to be dead or liminal. Now he has to figure out a way to tell Bruce Wayne that this person that he seems to know is a little bit dead!

This actually is a part of whatever the fuck I'm writing. I'm still thinking of a fic name. But all of the random posts go together in some way.

[strwberri-milk]

Hi! If it's okay with you i'd like to request a fic/reaction of the lads men to encountering reader's ex? If not all, could it be Zayne? Given how he's shown treats/reactions of being jealous/possesive, i'd love to see how you portray that since you're really good at being True to canon, you have a very good understanding of the characters, their lore, and you explain yourself really well, I enjoy your writings a lot😚

thank you <3 im glad that youre into the way i portray them! im not like, perfect but i like to think i have a good understanding of the charas lolo - also, this i sjust for zayne! i am trying to guide people to sending less characters/ask bc honetly, doing five, and eventually six per ask when they add another LI is gonna be too exhuasting - im already not liking five lolol

Zayne is very confident in his relationship with you but that doesn't mean he doesn't get jealous. He's very good at keeping himself composed but meeting your ex doesn't actually really intimidate him too much.

He's going to be a little extra affectionate with you but in a subtle way that doesn't make it seem like he's being possessive of you. He wants to show off to your ex how much happier you are with him than you were before. He's very smug about it, coming up behind you and acting totally dense as you introduce your ex to him.

He casually introduces himself as the youngest cardiac surgeon at a prestigious hospital, making sure that he's bragging about his achievements in a way that your ex can see that Zayne himself isn't very surprised that he's done so well. That this level of excellence is standard in his life - further intimidating your ex.

He keeps an arm around your waist and gives you a soft look that he's never really aware he has when it only comes to you. He smiles and laughs whenever you say something, his attention solely on you and you're so used to him being this attentive that your ex just feels a little awkward and definitely like they're interrupting something. They'd leave out of sheer awkwardness, seeing the way he looks at you and how obvious it is that you're madly in love with Zayne.

Zayne's going to consider this a win, knowing that your ex is going to have second thoughts about seeing you again now that they know who you're going home to. He knows that even if his accolades aren't impressive, he's considered fairly attractive which is definitely intimidating when paired with his height.

[08:11 PM] "is this really necessary?"

jungkook sighs deeply, a hint of annoyance and yet also a small hint of amusement on his features as he watches you. your face is locked in concentration, your gaze focused on his face as you spread that fancy brand of face mask onto his skin. he can't even remember the name of the brand — all he remembers is you going off on a rant about how amazing it is and how it benefits your skin.

"yes," you chirp and use your fingers to bring the face mask down to his chin and over that part between his nose and upper lip.

"____, you already did a shit ton of other stuff," he protests, his tone almost whiny.

you can't help but lean back to look at him properly, amusement etched onto your face as you grin at him. you let out a scoffing laugh and move back in to continue the spreading of the face mask, "sir, you're pushing 30 — you need to take care of your skin!"

jungkook jerks back at your words, brows furrowed together as he looks at you with mock offense.

"did you just call me old?"

it's now your turn to jerk back with an offended gasp, "i did not!"

jungkook tries to fight the grin that's threatening to spread across his lips, "you totally did! god, you're mean..."

a giggle escapes you, mirth playing within your eyes as you flash him a smirk.

"you say that as if you didn't know that already–"

jungkook shakes his head at you with a smirking grin and sits still again, letting you continue your work on his face. once his face is covered with the face mask, you pull away with a proud 'all done!' leaving you. jungkook can't help but let that grin he was fighting before take over his features as he watches you, completely adored by your obvious excitement that he let you do this to his face.

"you satisfied with your work?" he asks, clearly amused.

you nod and smile proudly, "absolutely."

"so how long does this have to stay on my face?" he then asks, wondering just how long he has to wait before he can wash it off and go back to kissing you without worrying about messing up your hard work.

you hum and glance at the clock on his nightstand, "about 20 minutes."

jungkook's eyes widen, his lips parting and closing again.

"20 minutes?! baby, i can't go that long without kissing you, you know that–"

you grin playfully and lean in closer, barely brushing your lips against his in the most teasing way you can muster right now while his entire face is covered in face mask. your eyes drop from his eyes to his lips and back up again.

"i guess you'll just have to stick it out then," you murmur sensually before pulling away again, causing jungkook to chase after your lips in an attempt to kiss you. once you're too far away from him, he lets out a groan, his shoulder slumping in defeat. you cock an eyebrow at him and turn on your heel to head into his en-suite bathroom, glancing at him over your shoulder just to catch a short glimpse of him falling back on his bed.

"like i said," he calls after you, "mean."

‘We need more bipolar characters’ 

YOU COULDBNT EVEN HANDLE HIM

first of all i think this is common knowledge but he exhibits a complex and erratic personality which i think could potentially be interpreted as symptom of bipolar disorder - bipolar is a characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression) - throughout the series and manga (i think the manga shows this better) mellos behavior fluctuates dramatically displaying periods of intense energy impulsivity and irritability which align with manic episodes,,. - in the manga mellos depicted as ambitious driven and sometimes reckless in his pursuit of catching Kira. he has a chronic case of impulsive decision making such as kidnapping poeple and hijacking a character showcases a lack of regard for consequences which is a hallmark trait of manic behavior - i also think mellos extreme emotional responses ranging from fits of rage to moments of despair mirror the intense mood swings characteristic of bipolar disorder. he also struggles with self esteem and identity also point towards bipolar disorder... individuals with bipolar disorder often experience fluctuations in self esteem oscillating between grandiosity during manic episodes and profound self doubt during depressive episodes - mellos constant comparison to near (who he he and only he sees as his rival) and his need to prove himself could stem from underlying insecurities exacerbated by his mood swings

him developing bipolar could totally be a normal trauma response from literally a lot of abuse that he has faced, most of the main characters from wammys house show no signs of like rebellion or outlandish behavior like he does but that doesnt necessarily mean that nothing happened and i think the author gave characters such as near and the other orphans way too much mental fortitude. bipolar can be developed at any age and its especially common between ages 15-19. not to mention other than it being genetic, theres a huge link between bipolar and childhood trauma. like imagine being groomed your whole childhood into this competitive environment with other 4 year olds to be the smartest toddler so u can substitute this crazy genius when he dies. and think of it like come on theres no chance all of these kids desperately wanted to be detectives when they grew up there was definitely like some sort of foul play. L is an exception obviously since the orphanage became abusive after he came and he was treated like a king basically while the other orphans mental state was completely disregarded because they were only brought in from several corners of the world solely to be his successor. in fact the first generation orphans were literally expected to kill themselves because of the pressure and A killing himself literally was not a shock at all to the orphanage in fact i suspect that a lot of the first generation orphans made to succeed L had a horrible mental state and also killed themselves which if you think about it B (which stood for backup) losing his mind was completely normal even if the way he went about challenging L was not. not to mention how he had to live with shinigami eyes but thats for another post lolol.,,, anyways yeah mello's behavior is actually justified when you think about how much of an abusive household he lived in even if its kind of obvious that the author disregarded coming up with an explanation for the orphans mental wellbeing and how it would have affected their adolescence except from the character of mello and even when they show mello they basically make him seem insane and watari like an angel . reading the la bb murder cases from mello's perspective really opened my eyes to like how it actually was in wammys house u can really understand it from his tone and stuff also with that one page hold on lemme find it

'but what if they could copy him? what if they could make a backup? that was us. L's children, gathered from all corners of the world. children gathered together, never told each other's names. but even for a genuis like watari, creating a fake L was easier said than done. even for near and i, who were said to be the closest to L... the more we tried to be like him, the closer we got, the farther away he was, like chasing a mirage. so i hardly need to tell you what it was like when wammy's house was first founded, when he was still experimenting. the first child, A, was unable to handle the pressure of living up to L and took his own life, and the second child, beyond birthday, was brilliand and deviant. B stood for Backup.'

'L was the goal of everyone in wammys house. everyone one of us wanted to surpass him. to step over him. to step on him. M did, N did and B did. M as a challenger, N as a successor. B as a criminal.'

sorry for my complete lack of spelling punctuation and grammar but i think i got my point across and also big thanks to @monards who helped me finish this draft by giving me the energy to continue and also encouraging my crippling death note addiction by feeding into it with questions and remarks like 'woah!' and 'eureka!'

i’d love to see your perspective on how other cartman-related ships could play out and dynamics !!

(stanman and kenman blinks at you sweetly)

(wanted for come off anon for this one :3)

Omg hiii, Lemon!! ヾ(˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶)

Yes, I love Stanman, Kenman, and Buttman!!! (hehehe what a tragic ship name lol) obviously not as much as Kyman since that's my OTP but I still find them very cute!!

Kenman is one of the most obvious ones on the list. They already have a great dynamic going on! Good examples of their dynamic are:

In the episode “The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs” when Cartman just casually suggests killing that one famous person and Kenny shrugs like, “okay.” as if to say, “I got nothing better to do, sure,” is SO funny to me. They both work really well together in the sense that they're both the more morally grey (apart from Mysterion where it seems Kenny really channels a strong sense of justice. When he's just himself, he's really down for whatever). In that aspect, I think Kenny would be such a ride or die for Cartman. They'd be partners in crime like they were in the episode “DikinBaus Hot Dogs.”

I also LOVE the aspect that Cartman is the only one that's ever remembered Kenny's deaths. (A lot of people speculate that it's because Cartman ate Kenny's ashes but, nah, Cartman knew about Kenny's deaths since before that). I think him knowing about Kenny's immortality would add such a great dynamic for the ship. Kenny could have someone he could talk about it with, someone that knows. And Cartman’s inability to take anything seriously would probably add to them having a lot of inside jokes about it lol. Kenny would feel alone and he'd be able to cope using humor.

I also love the fact that both Kenny and Cartman are the two boys in the show that have crossdressed the most out of all of them, and willingly, too. They have both chosen to play the girl in multiple times such as Cartman playing Bad Irene in the wrestling episode and Kenny being princess Kenny. So I think the two would LOVE getting together and critiquing Drag Race lmaooo they'd eat that shit up.

Buttman is the other ship that seems more obvious for Cartman since they already spend so much time together. There are so many episodes of them interacting. It's mainly Cartman just dunking on Butters and Butters getting back at Cartman like in the “AWESOME-O.”

I think an underrated dynamic to explore is that, from the whole Weiners Out debacle in season 20, it seems that Cartman has to keep Butters in check otherwise Butters is capable to become the new Cartman. This same theme also shows back up in Post Covid where Butters becomes a NFT scam trader. He and Cartman have a lot in common. Butters is also seen constantly dunking on others and backing up Cartman when he's being a dick.

I think Buttman would be so gossipy together lol. I think they'd love to talk about others for hours. They could make a very dangerous duo if they both team up and work together for a scheme but I also like the idea of Butters keeping Cartman somewhat in check since, even though Butters is also unhinged, he is less unhinged than Cartman by a long shot Lolol

Stanman is the one that people would least expect but I still totally love because of their dynamic! I find it very cute!

Cartman cares about Stan. Despite loving quarantine and wanting the pandemic to continue, he ultimately gave the Pangolin to the scientist so they could find a cure for Covid because Stan cried. All Stan had to do was cry and Cartman actually picked Stan over what Cartman himself wanted. He also helped Stan with the cows in “Fun With Veal.”

Cartman has also shown to want to be liked by Stan and to want to hang out with Stan just by himself without the others as shown in the episode where they broke the damn with a boat. Cartman looks up to Stan and sees him as the main character. Cartman was also shown to visit Stan at the farm to vent.

I think Stanman would be the most wholesome Cartman ship out of them all tbh. Just because if they were romantic, I could see it being from Cartman having a genuine crush on Stan and being, like, actually kind to him instead of such a little insufferable shit lmaoo. I think he would genuinely want to be liked by him so he'd be on his best behavior around Stan and Stan could easily stop Cartman from doing something in turn. He'd be able to tame Cartman more easily since Cartman actually cares what Stan thinks of him. I think because of this Cartman would be sweeter if they were dating and would be there for Stan during Stan’s depression. I think hed genuinely try to help Stan at least by giving him company.

Cartman has also been shown to love to write and produce music in multiple episodes like Stan so they could both write music together and I think that could be so sweet and romantic. They could both really bond over it.

And that concludes my long ass essay on Cartman ships between the main five 🤣🤣 omg dude I'm so sorry if I didn't even answer specifically what you asked akhsksjska I want on ramble with this one lolol

[toxycodone]

(this is stalker laois/ playfight ask loolol)

I didnt send any second stalker one 😇just to let you knoww but yesss!! he totally would take shit he meant to “give back”. If yall were couple, it would probably be clothes ( underwear) 🤭- if yall arent, i feel like he would eat ur leftovers or drink ur drinks n be like “gotta make sure not to waste food!” Meanwhile he starts to think it could be considered an indirect kiss n it makes him all flush but he keeps doing it. lolol he would keep a straw 😏 also would he or would he not jack off to the photos he took? 🧐 also, like i feel like stalker laois would do everything like its normal- very matter of fact like how he was excited to be Shuro’s friend, he would be excited to be friends (maybe something more) with you n not realize his advances or behavoir. He just wants to be close to you 🤗 (which may include biting a chunk of your flesh)

THE EATING/DRINKING YOUR FOOD HOLY. He would.

and like he does this VERY quickly after knowing you. Like, it isn’t like “oh close friends” behavior he’s just doing it off the bat?

like you’re hanging out with Falin and Marcille and ofc since Falin is there he thinks he’s invited. And he’ll pick at Falin’s food too. Marcille doesn’t like it so he knows not to do it. But with you he doesn’t even ask. He’s too into the forced affection and indirect kiss of it all.

and he’s SO excited to be your friend. He tries soooo hard to foster a connection between you two ASAP (lemme warn you guys on dating apps do this. All the time.) But he’s asking soooo many questions and talking your ear off whenever he gets a chance. And it’s so effing obvious he has a crush on you.

He is super touchy too. Like. Just how he was with Toshiro who was like. Visibly uncomfortable with Laios all up on him 💀 (even in the magic mirror extra w the panel that had Toshiro as a girl he was creeped out by him 💀) AHHHH

is that even a question about the pics. He justifies it because he tried to imagine you while he’s jacking it but he “can’t remember your face clearly” so he takes a peek at the pics. Which becomes a long look. To just staring and scrolling through them.

He thinks it’s romantic too because like? It shows his devotion to you or whatever 😭

[danieyells]

I'm not sure why I feel so attracted to the idea of Jiro sedating the MC and touching them over their clothes but not daring to do much more, and later the MC waking up and thinking it was a kind of dream influenced by him taking care of their pre-op "well he was always handsome"

You're attracted to it because it's hot anon 👀 the vulnerability, the drugging, the lack of fulfillment when all he does is grope over your clothes, the uncertainty--i'm always a slut for dub/non-con and drugging oh lord 👀 tell me more anon

And man i sure hope this isn't total gibberish because i wrote it in parts over the course of the day and only finished like now and it's 4am. . . .

I feel a little disappointed in this one, i'll admit lolol and it's not exactly what you described but maybe you'll like it anyway?

Obvious non/dubcon and (consensual, medical) drugging cws. Additional warnings for that the pc is never named and is only referred to as 'they' for the most part, and I left their gender and genitals ambiguous, which makes for some sloppy writing on my part. . . .

They had been helping at Jabberwock a few days prior and they'd been bitten by an anomaly. It was a minor injury but Haru was worried about the side effects. After Towa nearly sent the poor creature to hell, they'd been sent to Mortkranken for examination, to be certain the beast's venom wouldn't have any lasting effects.

It was Yuri who inspected them the first time. Even after spending time helping the medical house, Yuri still made the inspector feel a little on edge. They worried the only thing that kept them from more than basic examination and preventative care was Professor Nicolas' presence.

"Their venom is slow acting." Yuri scoffed after they described the anomaly they'd been affected by. He walked with them after they were discharged, making his way to another patient in the building as he explained before they went their separate ways. "If you go a week without noticing any changes the medicine worked in full. Come back if you start experiencing any unintended muscle movements!"

With that sharp dismissal, they returned to the Cathedral, worrying over every twitch and itch and crawl under their skin.

And three days later they were once again in Mortkranken after a sudden movement of their leg nearly sent them careening down a staircase.

Kaito and Luca had been kind enough to rush them to the infirmary, where Professor Nicolas subsequently had them quickly transported to Mortkranken as the anomalous effects would be better treated there(much to Kaito's dismay.)

A general student saw them into a wheelchair and rolled them inside the office, helping them onto an examination table to make sure another spasm wouldn't cause them any injury. Even as they were brought inside they began to panic as the spasms increased in frequency and spread from their leg into other parts of their body. They shook and twitched against their own wishes, even as Jiro arrived in the exam room with the necessary materials.

"You're moving too much." Jiro sighed on sight, putting down the needle he'd filled without even saying hello. He moved to fetch a fresh one and a small jar of lavender colored fluid. "I'm going to sedate you. You should be okay to fall asleep, if you feel tired. You shouldn't die."

The human tried to find the honest statement and lack of alarm comforting. If they were dying then surely Yuri and Nicolas would have been contacted? Or perhaps their curse or the ring would have counteracted it?

The summer had seen them abandon their blazer in favor of wearing a short sleeve dress shirt, making access to their arm quite simple. Jiro moved to hold their upper arm when another spasm rocked it. After waiting for the jolts to cease, he gripped their arm tight enough to make them wince, disinfected their skin with precision, and jabbed the needle into their upper arm with a little pinch.

The effect was almost immediate as he pushed down the plunger. The moment the fluid entered them they felt fuzzy, their vision swimming as if with exhaustion. The warmth spread and their muscles relaxed, losing most of their strength. Where a convulsion was about to start they felt a much weaker muscle spasm, registering in their mind as barely a crawl of their skin. Once all of the fluid had entered them, the needle was pulled out and discarded in an anomalous container for sharps; the spot was immediately cleaned and bandaged.

The sedative must have had some additional effect, the inspector reasoned. Where Jiro must have had been pressing fingers against the plaster to stop any bleeding, they imagined a long press of his lips.

But that wouldn't make sense.

Or be sanitary wound care.

(Would he even have a concept of 'kissing wounds makes them better'? It didn't seem like he grew up in such a gentle environment.)

Once he was certain the spasms had been relaxed Jiro put on a new pair of gloves and fetched his original needle. "This should kill any of the remaining venom." He explained as he cleaned another patch of skin. "Aside from the initial pinch you shouldn't notice anything odd. Maybe a little burning.

"If you feel anything besides that. . . ." He looked into their eyes, glassy and hazy. Barely there, their mind and body were so numb. For a moment they were able to focus on him, and he seemed to smile in amusement--although, that would be strange for Jiro, so it must have just been the medicine. "Just lie there and drool, I suppose. I'll take care of it."

Any attempt at response failed, their body feeling so limp that even speaking was a task. It felt like a nightmare of helplessness, the kind they'd had many times since coming to Darkwick--unable to move their body and helpless at the mercy of some person or beast. But even through the needles' sharp penetration(barely noticed in the haze of their sedation) they felt surprisingly safe. Perhaps their sleeping mind heard Jiro's blunt explanations and took them as literal as Jiro meant them to be and felt no fear or discomfort. They were helpless and heavy, but not afraid despite it. Like a dream within a dream.

As Jiro had claimed, they feel nothing but a light burn tingling in their veins. A gentle buzz throughout their being. They could almost feel the anomalous medicine working, seeking out the toxicity in their muscles and killing it. Or perhaps the sensitivity was part of their sedative-induced dream.

"Done." Jiro announced. The needle left them, and they were cleaned and bandaged once again. Jiro kissed--or pressed against, more likely--the bandage until the bleeding stopped. They opened their bleary eyes to watch him as he cleaned up. "You'll need to be monitored for about ten minutes, to make sure there are no side effects." He looked back at them lying on the examination table, a limp doll of a human. Not that, compared to Jiro, they were much stronger than a doll to begin with. "Not that you can go anywhere. In your condition."

Was that a laugh, or a sigh? It was a little huff of a sound, something they might as well have had imagined. A lot of things seemed imagined here. Like that Jiro didn't leave to attend to another patient and leave a general student to look after them until they could move again. Yuri would have likely had them put in a chair and wheeled back home with one of their friends. . .or worse, used their helpless body in some sort of experiment.

Perhaps that thought is what made the Jiro in their mind come closer once everything was in order and examine them closely. Had it been ten minutes? Time really didn't seem to have a meaning right now. They tried moving, and found little change in when they were first injected.

"Did I give you too much?" Jiro asked, slipping strong hands under their arms and repositioning them. They managed a sound best(though still poorly) described as a weak squeak in acknowledgement. "It's a strong sedative. If I didn't give it to you the venom might have started coordinating your spasms until it controlled your body. You'll be able to move again eventually."

Once they'd been placed back onto the table in a good position, the head of the table slightly raised, Jiro watched them.

Then, he moved a hand to lightly rest on their sternum.

"You're not breathing very hard." He observed. His hand traveled over to the left, cupping their chest. His other hand went to their neck, resting over their pulse. The palm over their chest started stroking the area through their shirt, heavy and dragging as if absentminded. They tensed, trying to squirm but too weak to do so.

"Your RPM and heart rate are a little high." Jiro noted aloud, though not on any sort of chart. The hand on their neck traced their throat with a thumb. "And you're starting to warm up. An allergic reaction, maybe. . .? You weren't found to be allergic to any of the anomalous medicine we use during your health checks."

The hand on their chest gave the tissue a squeeze. First a soft massaging, then something rougher. The way he spoke was so clinical, they had to assume the contact was little more than a fever dream, the last of the spasms wracking their body in particularly sensitive places and their sleeping mind filling in the blanks with thoughts of their vulnerable body being toyed with by the handsome, stoic doctor.

Even the tweak to one of their nipples wasn't enough to wake them, only enough to elicit another squeak and make them shudder in lieu of squirming or arching their back. Even when the hand on their throat moved to their jaw and traced their lips, sinking into their unresistant mouth to stroke their tongue, they assumed they were dreaming, misinterpreting what was happening in the waking world. Jiro commented on their temperature, thumb teasing the back of their throat until they just barely gagged. He retracted his hand entirely to mind their pebbling nipples with both.

What started so purely as the medical attention they needed had, in some length of time that they couldn't measure through the fog, became a pair of strong and heavy hands tracing down their side and waist, sliding over to grope at their tummy. The muscles beneath weakly tensed at the ticklish feeling, and he gave a little hum in acknowledgement. "It looks like you're getting your strength back, at least."

When he relocated his hands to their hips, they confirmed this slight recovery with a little squirm. He squeezed down, presumably to keep them still. "Relax. You'll need your strength for when you leave."

Presumably, it was to keep them still, although they felt his hands slip beneath to their rear, kneading their ass and tracing their crack through their clothes. When he spread the cheeks, he once again received a whine and a squirm, which he responded to with a rough squeeze as if in punishment. Nonetheless, he moved down to their thighs, similarly admiring their shape and feel, before slipping his hands between and spreading them without a hint of effort on his part.

"Ji--!" Their slurred attempt at speech was disrupted by their choked gasp when Jiro's groping moved to squeeze their crotch. The sudden jolt of pleasure, after being worked up through what felt like hours of slowly being toyed with, was enough to almost push through the muscle relaxants in the sedative for just a moment, letting them arch into the contact. They were still too weak to grind into his hand, however, and he only pushed back enough to get their hips to drop painfully back onto the table.

"I told you to calm down." His fingers traced the shape of their genitals, stroking as if to learn the shape more than to titillate. Jiro was a doctor. He'd personally given them medical examinations where they were wearing much less. He already knew what was there, though not in such intimacy. He didn't like 'pointless' things. He wouldn't see a point in something like this. So it could only be a dream. He massaged them through the fabric of their uniform and underwear, fingers pressing and stroking where heat seeped through the most. They only hoped he couldn't feel the moisture gathering there as well. "Your temperature is going up again."

Watching Jiro's actions was difficult in their exhausted condition. While there was no way they could conceptualize that Jiro would actually do any of this, some part of them desperately wanted to know what Jiro--if only as a product of their imagination--was feeling as he brought them agonizingly slowly towards orgasm.

They blinked through the mist of tears they realized must have been forming along with the drool running down their still parted lips, until Jiro's face came into focus. He was much too close to their lap, so close his even, unhurried breaths could be felt warming them through their clothes. It only added to the stimulation. Jiro was an adult, even if he sometimes seemed quite juvenile, like when he laughed at stag beetles fighting or Yuri struggling not to sleep in class; it was surely impossible that he didn't know what he was doing.

On the other hand, he'd been in a coma for some time, and he had no real consideration for the privacy of others' bodies. . .the intent look of study combined with a tinge of pink on his cheeks as he breathed over their aroused genitals and felt the way the touch of his scarred hands made them change. . . .

It was as if he was using their body to sate some curiosity, rather than truly molest them. Even the way his other hand gripped their clothing, as if considering simply removing it, seemed too explorative to be malicious or manipulative.

Or perhaps they simply thought that way because their angle didn't afford them the sight of his lap, to see if he was, perhaps, getting as aroused as they were.

But Jiro paused in his ministrations, contact returning shortly to simply resting his hand on that sensitive and throbbing area, before he retracted his hands completely. Again, they whinged, squirming at being left alone as Jiro seemed to disappear from the examination table.

"Interesting." What was of interest wasn't quite clear. It occurred to them that their body's responses to their dream were real, and perhaps the real Jiro was made aware of their arousal. It was impossible to tell his reaction from his voice alone, and they writhed in humiliation at being caught in some sort of medically induced wet dream. "It seems like you'll need a little more time to recover."

They held their breath, but the contact never returned. They felt themself cooking down, but still sensitive, as if Jiro's touch was lingering. Occasionally they heard some noise in the examination room--a turning page or a keyboard or computer mouse or writing implements on paper. Occasionally a noise from a phone, or a distant echo from out in the hall. But for the most part, all they heard was a strangely loud and hazy silence.

At some point, the dream turned to void, as if they'd fallen asleep inside of it.

When they came to, the world had much less of a layer of fog over it. Their body still felt heavy, but not so much so that they couldn't move it. Sounds were a bit sharper, and yet they heard less as if their senses had been heightened in their sleep. Yuri was scolding Jiro, something about dawdling in here with the sleeping patient when there was work to be done.

"They had a reaction to the antivenom." Jiro explained, his voice coming closer. As usual his footfalls were shockingly quiet, and they would have never known he was coming near if he weren't speaking. They squinted into the strong lights, raising an arm to cover their face. "They're awake now, so I'll discharge them."

"Fine. But hurry up! You know what happens when you're late for your medicine, and I won't tolerate your complaints if you're the cause of your own delay!" Yuri stormed out, likely to prepare Jiro's medication, not even acknowledging them despite having had seen them out when they first checked in days prior.

Jiro, meanwhile, presented them with a light snack of crackers and a juice box. "I would recommend eating a meal and getting some rest once you get home. That sedative wasn't made for restful sleep."

They cleared their throat after taking a few sips of juice. "You said I had a reaction. . . ."

"Yes."

"What. . .happened. . .?"

"Increased temperature, heart rate, and respiration." Jiro explained, watching them eat.

"Did you do anything to stop them. . .?" They really wanted to ask if it was truly a product of the antivenom, but feared sounding accusatory over what was likely a dream.

"No. They weren't at a dangerous level. I just kept an eye on them so make sure they didn't get worse."

They nodded, sipping their juice again. "And the sedative can give you strange dreams? You said it isn't made for restful sleep. . . ."

"Your body is forced to sleep without your mind being put into a restful place first. It would be like falling asleep with something on your mind, making you more likely to dream about it. So, yes, that would likely be the case."

They heaved a somewhat disappointed sigh, tilting the last of their snack crackers into their mouth. "That's good, I think. . .I'm glad that's all that happened."

"If you say so."

That response felt off. Jiro took their trash and threw it away, fetching the wheelchair they were rolled in on to help them into it. He put a hand on their back, making them jump as they were gently pushed to the edge of the lowered bed to sit up.

"What do you mean? That's all that happened, isn't it?"

"It already happened." Jiro said dismissively, putting his hands under their arms to lift them up(again?) and sit them into the chair, not trusting their legs just yet. "I don't see a point in worrying what happened between your treatment and now."

The cursed inspector tried to formulate a response that could convince Jiro to share what he meant--even if all he said was that he had read a medical journal, or that he'd adjusted them in bed a few times--but knowing Jiro they couldn't think of a way to get him to talk. They squeezed their thighs together, feeling their genitals throb from the orgasm denial, the unfulfillment of their dream that might have been reality. But they were already back in the Mortkranken lobby, where Luca greeted them with a kind smile, approaching.

"Can you walk?" He asked as Jiro locked the chair. They set one leg on the floor and, though it felt heavy, they could definitely balance enough to get up and stumble over to Luca on wobbly legs before giving a weak nod. "I'm glad to hear it. It looks like you've recovered well. Are they clear to return home, Doctor Kirisaki?"

"Just Jiro is fine." Jiro looked them over once more. It was surely their imagination that his gaze lingered on their crotch--where they squeezed their thighs together tightly, remembering their dizzy dream and just how close his lips were before he pulled away--as opposed to their slightly wobbling legs. "They're a fall risk until they've had a meal and some rest. But they're safe for discharge."

A general Mortkranken student trotted up, offering the scholarship student their discharge paperwork and instructions, then collected the wheelchair for sensitization and storage once the papers were taken. They and Lucas thanked them kindly, and Jiro as well. He simply nodded in response, before they began to make their way out the door.

The cursed human took one final look back at Jiro, who simply tilted his head at them like so many of the cats around campus. Then he winced and turned away, stumbling towards the basement to receive his medication.

About two or three hours later, they received a WickChat message.

Jiro: You implied you experienced an odd dream as an effect of the sedative. This may also have been a yet unseen reaction between the sedative and the antivenom. Jiro: For the sake of proper documentation, would you be able to expound upon the dream at all? It's okay if you can't remember everything. Any details would be valuable to the understanding of anomalous medicine and its effects on humans and individuals afflicted by curses.

Their heart pounded. Telling Jiro what they dreamed of could be valuable information, but could they really bear the humiliation of it? Of explaining that they'd had a nearly wet dream about him, while he was in the room with them? Would Jiro even think anything of it, oblivious as he is to emotional matters?

Jiro: If it helps, a date for you to be sedated again could be arranged. You could be attached to a brain wave monitor, so your memory won't need to be relied upon. Jiro: Perhaps the dream will reoccur. I'll be sure to thoroughly extract something of value, so the experience isn't wasted.

Perhaps it was his use of 'thoroughly extracting value', but the thought crossed their mind that they hadn't been dreaming at all, and that Jiro mayhaps wanted to finish what he started. But it wouldn't make sense from the get go for it to have had been real. . . .

And yet they remembered Jiro's talk of prescribing death to others and dismissing ethics.

There was no point in discussing the ethics of something that had already been done, he said.

Perhaps some of the experience was real. He wouldn't have had been so cryptic about what had happened while they slept if nothing had occurred, would he?

Although, he was often cryptic about things, so perhaps that was merely coincidence and they were getting their hopes up--

Jiro: A prompt response would be appreciated. 'No' is an acceptable response, as well.

They scrambled to type a response, realizing they'd left him on read.

8636: I don't know how well I can recall. . . . 8636: I'm willing to be re-sedated, though! 8636: Before I agree to it, may I ask a potentially non-medical question? Jiro: I can't stop you from asking questions over WickChat. 8636: What happened while I was sedated today? After I was given the antivenom?

There was a pause, but no typing for a while. Then the general Mortkranken WickChat messaged them with appointment information.

8636: Jiro? Jiro: ? 8636: I didn't see a response, so I was just checking in. . . . Jiro: I didn't agree to answer the question.

A fair, if disappointing response.

Jiro: Just know I attempted to administer a holistic remedy to an unanticipated physiological response that arose during your treatment.

The response took a little longer to parse. As realization dawned on them, the next message came in.

Jiro: It didn't work as intended, as I'm not very experienced with such methods or concerns. Perhaps you noticed your continued affliction after discharge, and your discharge instructions. Jiro: Should the same issue arise, I've done more research.

They covered their face in embarrassment.  The discharge instruction "administer personal relief as needed" made much more sense now. They desperately hoped the Mortkranken student who handed them their discharge instructions hadn't read it first.

Accepting this explanation, they hastily sent an apology and threw themself down in bed, covering their face. Did they have to go to the appointment!? Jiro had only been trying to help them, albeit in an extremely questionable way. . .and somehow the thought that he had done more research to better serve the need in question. . .it was embarrassing, despite that they were the victim. They were able to excuse it, rationalizing that they were attracted to Jiro anyway and the idea alone felt exciting, but now walking into it as though it were any other medical procedure felt. . .insincere.

Resolving to perhaps cancel the appointment and try and get Jiro to have a talk with them about ethics, they dozed off, trying to ignore the returning heat and throbbing between their legs.

When they next awoke, it was to a small pinch, like the needles they'd recieved that day.

Just as had happened earlier, their strength was robbed from them nearly immediately, and they gasped as they felt a pair of lips on their chest, sucking at the nipple through their pajamas. A familiar large, heavy hand squeezed their other breast, twisting and tugging the nipple there.

"Not to worry." Jiro reassured through the gloom and the haze of sleep and strong sedatives. "Just like earlier, this is all a dream."

Limp in bed, a heavy doll for him to experiment on, what could they do but comply?

[graciereadshannigram]

okay hi, would love input from y'all!!

if i were to do an "ao3 wrapped" for myself this year, what information would be the most interesting to include? i started my fic tracking spreadsheet SPECIFICALLY for this reason, let's gooooo.

definitely doing a total word count, total fic count, most popular ship (this should be obvious to anybody who knows me), but also maybe breakdowns of different relationship dynamics or fic tropes?

i imagine the fic tropes would likely have to be restricted to shorter fics just because long fics have more time to incorporate more tropes.

maybe specific tags? i'd have to do some thinking around what would make a tag unique enough to get pulled out.

hmmm.

i could also do a textual sentiment analysis on my thoughts/comments for each fic to try and determine if there's a clear favorite from the year

i'd probably have to restrict this to long fics because those are the ones i tend to actually put effort into organizing my thoughts, rather than just saying, "omg i love a good PWP"

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

i bet i could also put together a stats model to figure out which tag is the best predictor of my enjoyment for any given fic, but that sounds like a LOT of work (i haven't had to create those kinds of models since grad school lolol)

anyway.

if you have any thoughts at all, please put em in the notes!!

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 9:

Starting out with parental drama. Cool cool cool. Tell me more.

Oh so NOW we bring up the admin of the fan page thing?!

Lolol I love Yotha and Faifah’s relationship.

A wild Pepper!

A wild Boom!

The black brooder character wearing a totally black shirt that says ‘Positive Energy’ on it is perfect.

A wild Title!

Oh. I thought all the mains were Perfect 10 Liners, but Gun isn’t.

Yotha, resident bad boy, realizing that 1) there is a person in his bed, 2) that person is having a nightmare, and 3) it’s the loud guy from earlier that annoyed him, and immediately being concerned and trying to help him? This ain’t no Bad Boy. Aw.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 10:

Gun tucking both brothers in was cute.

Yotha admitting he doesn’t know how to tie a tie 3x without getting angry or defensive? Not a Bad Boy, just an introvert.

Hello, Ford and Aungpao!

It’s a Yacht! Hi, Yacht!

If my sibling ditched me and made me room with a person I’d only met twice, I’d be mad too.

Aw, Gun saw that Yotha likes warm milk so he brought him milk. I also like this repeating tie thing.

Yotha, did you imprint on him or something? Trusting he wouldn’t sell out your location. Waiting for him to find you. The soft way you’re talking. Like, Mr. Grumpy-Pants seems really fond really fast.

Now Yotha has on a shirt that says “I dream you love me again” and I feel like that’s accurate for his character.

Yotha “I want to look at you.” Yotha “Sleep in my bed with me so my condition doesn’t get worse in the night.” Mr. Clingy over here. If anyone spent more than five minutes with him, his Bad Boy rep wouldn’t stand a chance.

Yeah, Yotha’s got Feels already.

Oh yay! We get more Pond/Sand even though their friends aren’t the main focus anymore!

Yotha is so damn funny for using a ‘Personal Information Questionaire’ to learn about Gun without having to actually ask. My dude. I hope you learn communication skills by the end of this.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 11:

“Arm invited me to the movies with his friends.” Um. That’s just Arm and Arc. He was inviting you to third wheel. Now it’s a double-date.

The swelling music over Warit and Klao’s conversation. Newton and Nop clinking glasses behind them. XD

The blunt way Yotha says no one has ever noticed how he felt or cared if he was happy… D:

“The harmless him is the real him he doesn’t show to people. But he also goes and sits in the bar waiting to get hit on by people who are taken, so he can end their relationships.” I mean, not cool, but he’s also being passive, not purposefully seeking out couples to ruin, so.

Mirroring Gun on the table. “I wanted to know if you could accept the real me.” Petting Gun. “Don’t have nightmares, Yotha.” Gut me. I’m dead. I love them so much.

“Am I a good boy?” Sir. Sir. Sir.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 12:

Yotha is like ‘I don’t got time for this’ and Newton and Nop are like ‘cheers to the newest ep of drama’

The bar clock said 3 AM but they’re signing in at the dorm at 1:50 AM.

Yeah, all of Gun’s friends know Yotha likes him now.

I still need a scene or two showing Klao and Wa being happy with each other before I can support this relationship.

Yotha! Arm sees what you did there, Yotha. You’re lucky Gun is dim enough to not ask questions.

“Whoever overcomes their fear first wins.” Um. I think Yotha already won.

Someone please love Po.

Giving Yotha that quiz just broke Gun’s brain, and gave him a minor heart attack.

What’s with the obsession with milk?

She forgot that the son she *raised* is allergic to milk? Talk about absent parenting.

He kissed you. He took that quiz thinking of you, telling you he likes you. He promised you his Special Someone bracelet. He’s told you you’re cute on more than one occasion. It’s really obvious he likes you and is down to date. If they hold off on them dating the entire time, like they did with Arc and Arm, I’m gonna have an issue.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 13:

How to Socialize Your Cat, by Gun “Beagle”

Franc has a faen??? Who? Since when?

“Can I ask you not to go there tonight?” aww

Klao, you deserve this. I know you two will work it out, but right now, you need this. Stop acting a fool.

Mmm I love this drama. ‘the power went off’ ‘it WHAT? FUCK’

Me: Yotha, say you’re sorry. Or please.

Yotha: I’m sorry. Please?

Me: Wow! He said both.

Yotha, this is not the time for a kiss! Boys! You have class!

Kissing Wa was dumb as shit.

I love that Yotha immediately asked if Gun was okay.

Everyone’s blaming Yotha for the fight. He was just walking.

Yotha asked twice if Gun would go back to the room, but he didn’t force him to go or try to change his mind. I like that.

Yotha sliding into bed with Gun cause he can’t sleep is cute. I’m not sure if it also counts as creepy, but it was cute.

I understand why Gun is upset, but someone needs to tell Yotha WHY he’s upset. He can’t properly fix it if he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to fix.

This plan only works because Gun is an idiot.

Your cat has not been fully socialized. It is trying to say sorry the way that worked last time, which shouldn’t work this time. Please communicate with your cat.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 14:

“I guess I like it.” Hint, Gun. He’s not talking about the ocean.

Tawan clocking Yotha and Gun instantly. Of course.

Yotha should NOT be driving. He didn’t SLEEP.

I really wish they would’ve shown the whole beach scene at once. These flashbacks are annoying.

The birthday thing was sweet, and depressing. Shit parents.

Gosh dangit, Yotha.

Yes, good, Faifa. Tell the boys to communicate.

“If someone makes you love them more than me, you’re free to go.” Yotha thinks that’s a reassuring thing, but it really isn’t. Also, don’t fucking lie to people, Yotha. You would be wrecked if Gun fell for someone else.

You know that gaping pit that opened in your stomach and your chest when you found the locked door, Yotha? Remember that feeling. Pair it with how you keep imagining him beside you. That’s your answer.

Yotha sliding the whole table closer to Gun was funny

I was gonna be upset with Yotha because no answer does not mean yes, but that was not cuddling. He was barely touching Gun. Weak ass cuddle, bro.

Now, asking before kissing him, especially when he’s sick, especially when you’re in a questionable relationship status? Definitely something you should do.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 15:

Yotha is such a pushover when it comes to Gun.

Pun and Jet~ I missed them.

Faifa and Yotha throwing the blankets off was peak sibling.

A bare glimpse of Pond and Sand…

Did we just….SKIP Faifa’s contest? Wtf

“I ended it.” Klao, you got your ass beat. You didn’t end shit.

“I’ll win you over again.” What are you on? You two never lost each other.

None of this make out should’ve happened. Yotha should be sore as shit with AT LEAST a bruised rib.

Yotha immediately thinking the parents hate him and being a sad puppy about it is great.

“I’m trying to win his heart.” Immediately followed by “Not my family. Our family.” From Not-Quite-Lovers to Married? Wow. WOW.

I wasn’t a fan of pulling Gun into the shed, but I am a big fan of the “if you ever dream of this place again, now you can remember the feel of my hug and know you aren’t alone.”

“’I don’t know’ means yes” NO IT DOESN’T. I don’t like this. It’s meant to be cute but it’s NOT.

Perfect 10 Liners, ep 16:

Yotha and Gun want to die now. (This episode had a lot of embarrassment, honestly)

‘Unbelievable!’ and the music stop was so funny

Gun and Yotha are going to be unbearable now.

They are just racing through the year, now, aren’t they? Like damn.

I’m just feeling more and more bad for Faifa. I’m ready for him to get his happy ending.

Are Franc and Book dating????

Klao, chill. Wa was only gone for like 60 seconds.

I get how mom’s mind was working, but it’s still not okay. (also, why are we acting like she’s leaving for the first time? She already lived abroad, didn’t she?)

Oh noooooo the questionnaire part was too embarrassing.

This whole thing is meant to be super cute but all I can think is how bad I feel for Faifa!

This couple will stay together. They are in each other's pocket, and they need to chill out, but they learned to communicate and help each other and listen, so they'll be fine.

Wa and Klao are...something. They're at least hot for each other, and like each other enough to keep getting back together. By the end, they'd gotten a lot less toxic for each other, so that's a plus. If they keep working at it, they might be good for each other.

The show got a lot less realistic with regard to injuries this arc. Luckily, I don't think Wine and Faifa are gonna be getting into fights like the others.

[misc-obeyme]

CC do you think Barbatos is deathly obsessed with anything? Not the obvious stuff like tea or baking, but something silly that only the closest to him know about.

I have this thought because I've been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack all day long and I.LOVE.HAMILTON. I have all the merch, I have the vinyls, I watch it like every other day, etc... and I was like "Barbatos would totally have Hamilton memorized because I'd play it all day long." And then I was like "woah wait, what is Barbatos' Hamilton?"

So yeah I don't have any thoughts so I'm asking for yours bdosndkwnrk2

I have so many ideas about this all of a sudden lol.

At first I thought it'd be cute if he was really obsessed with a cozy mystery series. Like one that takes place in a bakery (there are a lot of those... I love them myself lol). I think he'd appreciate the inclusion of food references, but the main story is this dramatic murder mystery where some uniquely unqualified individual gets sucked in and has to solve it to save their brother's best friend's dog groomer from going to prison!

But then I was like, okay but he would really like dramatic and over-the-top kinda stories and characters because that's so different from how he is, right? So maybe he'd get obsessed with a romance series... and then I was like NO WAIT soap opera... or telenovela!! Like he was in the human world once and ended up watching one 'cause it was on and got so incredibly hooked.

AND THEN that led me into K-dramas 'cause I could just see him watching some of those cute romance K-dramas and getting all teary over them... and THEN I was like hang on. Barb would love K-pop I don't care what anybody says.

THOUGH that does remind me that we have the fact that Barbatos likes heavy metal in canon! So maybe he has a specific Devildom heavy metal band that he's obsessed with. Buys all their merch, goes to all their shows, keeps it all behind a special door in his room that no one knows about because his shrine to heavy metal is a SECRET to all!

MC knows they've fully gained his trust when he shows them his secret heavy metal shrine lkadsfkjlfjkf.

Anyway, people can have more than one obsession, I know I certainly do. So maybe it's a combination of these things! Or perhaps you'll think of other things that you think he'd like!

But personally, I just think it'd be really cute if he got super obsessed with something totally random from the human world. Like now I keep imagining Barb as a BTS stan lolol.

[melkyt]

Hell yeah thanks @khepiari for tagging me, been wanting to do this when i saw it going around cx

1) how many works do you have on ao3?

47 on ao3, two chilling on anon for now, even if its probably obvious its me in them rareship tags lol

2) what's your total ao3 word count?

916,672

I wish posting chapters on ao3 was easier since i have such a backlog, editing is the bane of my existence xd.

3) what are your top five fics by kudos?

The Truth Will Rend - 474

Forsaken - 369

Free in Spirit - 342

Awakening - 294

Conform - 249

Except Awakening, they are all MHA and i hope soon i get enough one piece fics to outrun them xd

4) what fandoms do you write for?

Im a one fandom kind of gal, so just one piece

5) do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I do not respond to comments until a fic is all finished. I had a really bad experience when answering comments in my last fandom and getting harrassed so now im cautious about it. I prefer people contact me in a chat if they want to talk.

I do appreciate all comments though!

6) what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I dont do happy endings that often, i tend to add them after for my friends who dont like MCD xd

So i guess right now it would be Silence where Law dies doing Immortal Surgery, gets reborn thousands of years later and Luffy finds him.

7) what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Fortune maybe, everyone lives atleast and its sorta ends on a happy future xd

8) do you get hate on fics?

Used to constantly, so it overshadowed my enjoyment of the media. MHA folks cared to much about who Hawks was fcking and im an equal opportunity shipper who likes her age gap 'this is a problem' ships, so i got alot. Have a thicker skin now and less tendency to care if anyone likes/dislikes or reads my fic xd Still complain about it though xd

One Piece people are much nicer then my last few fandom, but also im a small fish in a big sea as a creator over here also have so many people blocked lolol

9) do you write smut?

Also used to write smut, erotica for moneys in college. I've been told Im good and should right more but I find it a little boring sometimes as an ace gremlin xd, has to be very specific vibes for me to do it with any kind of focus

Any smut I post now is going to be silly messy smut that i dont take specific care or attention to detail with. Smut thats more there to put character in situation and see what he does xd

10) do you write crossovers?

Yes? Maybe, I like the idea of putting characters in video games but its indulgent vibes that i never really put down on the page xd

I do it alot more crossovers for gift fics or requests

11) have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not fic but I had theory posts stolen because someone wanted clout in a fandom of like 150 people, like what? Baffles me xd

So now even though i fcking love meta, I dont post it xd

12) have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13) have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I am way too much of a pantser to cowrite a fic, and also like to drive the train, so co-writing not for me

14) what's your all time favorite ship?

Honestly, I don't have a favorite ship, to me favorite means that im obsessed and biting them xd

I write alot of Lawlu, but its a casual kinda of interest where i like playing with them in fic

All my favorite characters do not have a counterpart that id ship them with as much, for now. I think with the latest chapters I might get one xd

15) what's the wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I finish fics before I start posting, so right now I only have one wip and its almost done hehehe. Then ill start another heheh excited

My MHA fics are unfinished in limbo on my ao3 but thats not because they are wips, its because *drama and harrasement* woo haha

16) what are your writing strengths?

Writing a fuckton of words daily (5k right now xd)

Dialogue, Interpersonal Banter brings me joy

Getting the vibes im going for across, usually the yearning heh

17) what are your writing weaknesses?

Short Stories, my writing always gets longer then it needs to be from the idea lol even though i want to make that 2.5k story that slaps one day xd Need smaller ideas lolol

Head Hopping, sometimes in first drafts thats a mess xd

Moving to quickly through scenes, i need to slow down and develop them. Now i dont fix that in fics i write for fun, but original writing i struggle xd

18) thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I know a bunch of languages in varrying degrees of understanding, Russian, Ukranian, Polish, Spanish etc but Im not a fan of having non-dominant language showing up in my own fic, it ruins the flow when my brain has to switch channels xd

19) first fandom you wrote for?

Shiki? I was fifteen?. Fucked vampires, lots of blood, gore and dark topics xd Not a great time of life for a baby gremlin Mel and it showed in the writing hahaha

I say i write dark topics now but kid me was much more wild xd

20) favourite fic you've ever written?

Oof, uuuh Break the Cycle is my first fic and longest for one piece, so just by time spent and because it has a big scope that has to be my favorite xd

I want to do another big scope fic and i think that one will take over as my new obsession unless i make it a comic xd

Tagging @cooknumber3 if you havent done it already and want to hehehe

saw a picture of this dudes chest having a heart made of hickeys on it and got thinking about doing that to cove as teenagers just for ur families to do a spontaneous beach day and now cove is keeping his orca shirt on and not swimming which is Weird so everyone is questioning him and he’s so embarrassed and torn between denying his weird behavior and just coming clean lolol 🤭

bonus if somehow his shirt does come off cause I think the reactions would be soso funny

-🗑️

omg yes yes yes I think I've seen that too ages ago im obsessed w hickeys they look so good... I'd definitely do that to cove (ive also seen ppl write their name/initials in hickeys n.... imagine that)

he takes off his shirt to change or shower, or maybe some ice cream got on it and he totally forgot about the hickeys n before you can figure out what to do he's alrdy taken it off....

and now your whole family sees the hickeys n suddenly it makes sense why he hasn't taken his shirt off...

cliff gives him an extra shirt and spares cove any more awkward birds n bees talk n just pats his son on the shoulder....

but omg lizzy and lee are having a field day making jokes and even ma or mom slip in a joke sometimes (ofc days after the trip, they prbly give you an earful abt that...)

but also can we talk abt leaving hickeys in a heart shape on coves chest??!?!!!

he definitely let you get carried away bc he figured he'd be going to see his mom soon so he can get away with avoiding any shirtless activities/occasions until then... only for that surprise trip to the beach

but he'd be so happy. you saw how he was in the wedding dlc n he liked when mc defends him or themselves from Jeremy so it's safe to say he likes when you do smth so bold...

arghhhh he'd prbly ask to leave hickeys on you too... he's a chest man so he'd prbly leave marks on your chest

even more likely to leave an obvious hickey if it's after the beach trip...

but also my mind is spinning w the idea of him leaving hickeys on your thighs.

after the first time you guys get intimate you prbly sneak around a lot, n cove always works you up by kissing n sucking on your inner thighs before he finally gets to where you want him

pls my head is reeling

If you’re comfy with it, I’d love your take on the lads boys reacting to you rimming them for the first time. Specifically Raf and Xav heh. They all have such nice butts like they’re just so munchable

lmaoo i'll do this w raf and xav lolol - mild nsfw under cut

Rafayel is pretty open to trying new things when it comes to you. He also loves to act bratty, knowing it's so much more fun to piss you off. However, he had no idea that he'd pushed you over the edge today, finding you planted firmly between his legs, the weight of your body pinning his thighs down.

He looks up at you with wide eyes, trying to keep his cool as you start to pepper his skin in kisses, letting you remove his pants. His thighs immediately tense up when he feels your hands go to grope his ass, gently squeezing and pinching him as you tell him that he's been a little too disobedient for you today.

The second your fingers touch his ass he shoots you a look with furrowed brows, trying to figure out what you want. You decide not to do anything too extreme, telling him to tell you to stop when you're going too far. Considering that he doesn't actually say anything you continue to stimulate his tight hole, swallowing each delicious moan he gives you.

He likes it a little too much but you don't mind. He makes it very obvious with how needy and bratty he becomes over the next couple of days, trying to convince you to take things to the next level.

Xavier's a little skeptical when you ask him, only because he hasn't ever done anything like that and hasn't really even entertained the thought. You'd have to talk him through it a bit, convince him that you promise you'll make him feel good and he's allowed to pull out whenever he wants.

You've got him on his back, fully naked as your fingers gently tease and touch him, drawing out the anticipation. He finds himself slowly wanting more and more of it, a soft gasp spilling past his lips when you finally touch him. He still looks a little hesitant but you just need to take your time with him to open up.

He's not quite sure yet whether or not he likes it but he is open to doing more of it to explore what could be a new and totally pleasurable experience for him. It felt good, but not quite good enough yet for him to decide one way or another his personal stance on it. He'd grow to like it over time but he's not going to go out of his way to ask you to do it more often.

Hello! Time for those manhwa recs I mentioned before...

The first (and most important imo) is called “Side Characters Deserve Love Too”. It was recently completed with a total of 145 chapters. It's on tapas and a certain site that starts with a B and ends with “.to”… hopefully you know the site I'm referring to lolol. I'm recommending it because I feel like you’d LOVE the FL and ML’s dynamic from start to finish as much as I did. They have extremely good chemistry as a couple and are loveable asf even when they're on their own. 🥹💞✨

The second rec is called “I swear we’re just friends”. It’s ongoing with about 35 chapters out so far. This one can be read on tapas and on the B—.to site I spoke of above too. The ML is a bit of a yandere but that's really easy to overlook honestly. The FL teases the ML a good bit but is still very logical imo. And for this one, the ML realizes his feelings for the FL an f- ton sooner than the one for SCDLT does if that helps you like this one more ig lolol. But to be fair to the ML of SCDLT… his feelings were still very obvious to us readers… just not to himself lol.

Even if you never write for either of these manhwa’s I think you’d get a kick out of just reading them too fr fr ✨🙏✨

aaaww both sound so adorable, thank you for sharing!!! if I ever have a good day and want to do something else, I might check them out (no guarantee tho sorry!) ^^

I had over an hour of Batty themed descent into madness and was about to start employing other peoples help . You play me like fiddle. Can you tell me more about Batty Rap extended version and how it exists. What is going on with the genitals line

HELPPP LMFAO that's killing me I'm sorry to send you on a wild goose chase for my own entertainment. I obviously did not give enough clues at all [I wasn't sure what else to do and didn't wanna just give it away but clearly I've created total bullshit lolol oops]

It's about as simple as what is Batty and what is one of the things he had done to him but honestly I'm sure that isn't remotely as obvious as it seems to me. Again the first word isn't in Weird Science [I couldn't find a damn song I know with the word in the lyrics I went a little crazy] it just gives context clues I guess?? Second word.... third word appears plenty times in Honey I'm Home AND it appears in the Batty Rap [just. Different form of the word?]

You do NOT have to keep searching don't waste your time on my freak blog 😭 I just thought this was funny and I'm hesitant to straight up publicly link it so. This bs

Anyway LMAO I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW... I never did a deep dive into that or anything I just love the movie and the character <3 but wow I forgot about that- I literally listened to the extended version before the first post. It appears in a sequence where the song essentially stops in the middle and side-bars into like, scientists/doctors talking? Lolol thanks Robin Williams??? For that one??
