man, I love when writers get weird with it. I just finished Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, which is mostly about unhinged people getting therapy to very little effect; now I'm reading House of Rot by Danger Slater, and the two characters being colonized by malevolent, otherworldly mold had mutual orgasms to the sound of Eine kleine Nachtmusik. In short, the English language is a triumph, and people should use it to write their fucked up stories forever.
#big swiss was a shock and a delight.#I've never randomly picked up a buzzy popular novel and been so immediately taken. that breezy and deeply unhinged tone!!!#everyone in it needs therapy and is getting therapy and probably needs more therapy to undo the effects of the therapy.#house of rot is at least in the genre of books where I'd expect authors to Get Weird; but still.#when the married couple start prying out their teeth and picking their eyeballs off the floor....yeah that was satisfying.#from the bookshelf

I'm trying to figure out what petnames Blurr would use. Shockwave is weirdly easier, but I'm stumped on specific names with the guy who's not infamously seperated from his emotions
#I read a BlurrBee fic where he called Bee 'Buzzy' which I thought was sooo cute#but I haven't thought of anything that really clicks yet. Especially for Flatline

nothing more validating about getting buzzy brain about something than double checking to make sure your Very Niche Thing You're Interested In has an AO3 tag. I'm not the only weirdo out here obsessed with This One Specific Guy's Extended Universe, thank god.
#i will not be sharing more about this fandom or my involvement on here but just know#that all my other writing projects are still in the works they're just on the backburner#while i obsess deeply about a Specific Guy's Voice#and his incredible worldbuilding#HE HAS A WHOLE WEBSITE JUST FOR THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS#i'm slowly creating my own spreadsheet of the characters to make sure i keep my fan-version of the universe in order#but learning he already had compiled where things went in chronological order made my heart so happy#i hope to be as good at this as he is#listen i carry the shame of being a teen online in adult spaces during the early-mid 00s whose parents made fun of them for everything#the fact that i shared my YYH brain buzzies with y'all is frankly a miracle

So, not much new info here, but one lead that I find personally interesting is the idea that the archives are just way slower and shittier at their jobs than you'd think/hope. I've been wondering why a bunch of Tower of Terror stuff (including the whole sign) was still allegedly in Anaheim rather than scrapped, sold, archived, or sent to Paris/Florida for use as spare parts. It might've been meant for the archives, but the archives are so slow they're either 7 years late/backlogged to collect it or straight up forgot it.

Finally a buzzy update video

Mega brands are on Threads now along with the Kardashians and other celebs. This made me realize why I like Tumblr so much: the absence of big brands/celebrities. I want a social media where people can just be people! Not consumers. It really does feel like Twitter again. My brain gets all buzzy with how loud the app is now with shallow bullshit that means nothing. Tumblr is the better option. Don’t waste your time on Threads.

Hey is it okay for me to ask you to write the tulpar crew with an easily flustered reader
a/n: IM SO SORRYYY I haven’t been writing as often :( my meds are kinda being weird rn BUT I WILL THUG IT OUT!! I hope u guys like this one!!
Tulpar crew x easily flustered! reader
Curly
Thinks you are absolutely adorable
Sometimes teases you to get you embarassed
Might worry if he went too far though and check if you’re okay
Lots of very smooth comments
You confessed first, by some miracle without passing out
He of course said yes and that made you almost faint
“Sweetheart”
“Darling”
Lots of cute pet names
Kisses you randomly to thank you for things
“Thank you my love”
All in all he thinks you’re adorable
Jimmy
Oh boy
If you thought Curly was bad
This man will tease you until you DO faint
Weird ass pet names
“Princess” is his fav
Uses the fact that you clam up so easy to his advantage
If someone asks you a question and he’s nearby he’ll just put his hand on your hip and you’re a stuttering mess
Thinks it’s cute and funny
No way he’s confessing first
You have to suck it up
You’re mumbling and stuttering
“Oh my god this is so dumb….”
“Yep, it is. Keep going.”
Swansea
Doesn’t understand you
Why are you literally shaking because he called you sweet cheeks
LOL?
Doesn’t try to fluster you on purpose but it still happens a lot
Surprisingly he confessed first
Not a mushy confession or anything just like a
“I think you’ve got a damn good head on your shoulders. Want to go steady?”
You die
Not big on physical affection, rather do acts of service
Which makes you mutter out a “thank you” and look at the ground
“Sweet thing”
“Honey”
Very old fashioned so doesn’t try to show much emotion
He’s pretty damn sweet on you though
Thinks you’re…the bees knees
Okay maybe I’m writing him too old
Daisuke
Omg
He thinks you’re adorable
Loves to squish your cheeks and poke you
Big on physical affection
And big on YOU
He likes the way you cover your face
Because it means he gets to do the thing where he moves his hands away from your face and kisses your nose
“Babe”
“Love”
“My buzzy beautiful sunshine nugget”
He would do that last one as a joke
Or would he
“You’re so cute when you blush like that”
Which in turn makes you blush more
He definitely confessed first
Anya
Anya herself is easily flustered
So she does her best to not fluster you
Doesn’t mean she doesn’t compliment you or use pet names
Lots of “sweetheart”
“Darling”
“Lovely”
Kisses your forehead
If you get overwhelmed feels so bad
“I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry!”
Neither of you confessed
Daisuke had to get you two in the same room
And be like “YOU GUYS LIKE EACH OTHER!!”
When she’s doing your makeup you might blush
And she’d make a joke about how you don’t need blush anymore
She just needs to say she loves you ;D

for the girls II Kika Nazareth x Reader
masterlist I word count: 1347
a/n: dear readers, this is for the girls..and for the anon who asked if we'd write another Kika fanfic. 💜❤️
“Chicas, you haven’t. told us about your Portugal trip yet!”, Mapi clicked her tongue disapprovingly.
It was the dinner night after a big game at the team’s favourite restaurant. Far away from the buzzy and touristy La Rambla, in one of the less busy neighbourhoods where you football players could eat and yap in peace. In this minute the candles were lit by the waiters and turned everything into a warm glow.
“True, did you two enjoy it? Were you girls surfing? The water must be cold by now.”, Ellie mused with a dreamy look in her blue eyes.
“We did. And it was amazing.”, Kika affirmed.
“Yes, we’ll go there again over the Christmas break. The waves were the best I’ve ever ride on.”, you enthused thrilled.
“You two went surfing?!”, Alexia gasped outraged by your recklessness.
“Yeah?”, the Portuguese forward cleared her throat nervously.
“It was super fun, Ale.”, you replied nonchalantly, slightly annoyed by the older Spaniards mothering, for some time her overprotective side always came through when it came to you.
“Can’t you do something less dangerous?”, Alexia sighed.
“We had everything in control.”, you tried to assure the midfielder.
“Still. In the middle of the season.”, she pouted.
“Don’t worry, we didn’t spend too much time on the water anyway.”, Kika intervened, smiling cheekily, holding your hand in hers.
“Kika.”, you exclaimed blushing deeply.
“That’s too much information.”, Mapi chuckled amused.
“Wait, what?!”, Alexia asked shocked.
“Stop acting like a mum.”, the Portuguese laughed.
“You’re lucky I’m not.”, your captain said through clenched teeth.
In your mind you reminisced about your trip to Portugal which felt like ages ago but was only a week prior. How could you explain to Alexia that every day spent with Kika felt as fresh as a summer’s day no matter the actual weather?
“I was faster than you, Kika!”, you grinned triumphantly, your feet had reached the sea water before your teammates.
“You started early!”, she shook her head heavy breathing.
“Lies.”, you countered smiling innocently.
“It’s true.”, the brunette insisted smirking.
“Whatever.”, you shrugged. What you didn’t plan was to get lost into your friends’ brown eyes. They’re so beautiful you thought to yourself.
“You know that friends don’t look at each other like this?”, Kika observed.
“Looking like what?”, you asked biting your lips anxiously.
“The way you look at me right now.”, the forward replied earnestly.
“I.. sorry.. I think.. I forgot something at the beach.”, you mumbled.
“Y/n..”
“Do you need something as well?”, you turned your head around to look into her eyes.
“No.”, she denied.
You nodded slowly: “Okay.“
“Okay.“, she replied.
There was nothing else to say so you waded out of the water, forcing your heart to stop hammering against your chest.
Kika joined you a bit later, both of you laying on your beach towels and letting the sun dry the water off your skin.
She never mentioned it again and as the day went on, you started to wonder if you had imagined the conversation you had earlier.
You stayed out at the beach to watch the sunset together but once night started to fall, the temperatures dropped and a slight breeze rolled in from the sea. Kika and you found shelter in the van you rented. It was just big enough for the two of you with a twin mattress in the back and a makeshift kitchen where you prepared a quick dinner for the two of you.
Parked a bit away from the actual beach, you had a perfect view at the waves but without heating, the van cooled down as quickly as the outside temperature.
“It’s getting kind of cold… Do you want me to get another blanket?”, you asked Kika who was, like you, sitting on the mattress with a thin blanket wrapped around herself.
“Uhm… sure.“, she nodded.
Wordlessly, you got up and pulled out another blanket.
“Here you go.“
“Come here, we can share this one.“, Kika decided as she unfolded it and gently placed it over both of your legs once you sat back down.
“Thanks. Who thought it would be this cold in our van at night?”, you asked while sucking in a breath.
Kika laughed: “Definitely not me.“
“Me neither. But now we know.“, you joined the laughter, shaking your head about how unprepared you both were.
“We do. Are you still cold?”, Kika asked while her eyes searched your face.
Your grip tightened around the edges of your blanket, a desperate attempt to keep your hands from shivering: “No…“
Kika clearly looked right through your lie. “Move over.“, she demanded.
You did as you were told while the football player moved closer, pulling you into her.
You cheeks started to burn which you chalked up to Kikas body heat.
“Why are you so hot?”, you laughed.
“I’m Portuguese.“, she replied plainly, shrugging.
“Of course.“
“That must be it.“, she grinned.
“Appreciate the heat though.“, you answered, finally laying down. Kika did the same, never letting go of you.
For the shortest moment, you thought you would both fall asleep until you could feel the football player stir close to you. Her chest was so close to yours that you could essentially feel her rapid heartbeat against your ribcage.
“Why are you so nervous? Can’t you sleep?“
“I..no. There’s something else I’d like to do.”, Kika admitted quietly in the dark.
“What’d you like to do?”, you asked her nervously.
“I’d like to kiss you.”, the forward confessed.
“What about the being friends talk from earlier?”, you raised an eyebrow.
“Well, what about we stop being friends and start dating.”, she suggested boldly.
“You mean like Marta and Caro, Mapi and Ingrid.”, you began listing the couples in the team with your fingers.
“Yes.”
“I like that. So, you didn’t mind when I glanced at you earlier.”, you realized.
“No, not at all.”, Kika insisted.
“I want to kiss you too.”, you smiled sheepishly at her.
“When what are you waiting for.”, the brunette chuckled.
You didn’t need more than this, you left a featherlight kiss on her lips. “Do you want more?”, you gave her a challenging look.
“Please.”, she responded promptly. Now it was Kika who entangled you in a kiss. The Portuguese tasted like never-ending summer; the warmth spread through your whole body chasing the cold away.
“Wait, so you’re together now?”, Keira’s question brought you back to the present evening.
“Jep, we’re.”, Kika confirmed with a proud grin on her lips.
“If you hurt y/n, Kika…”, Alexia warned her.
“Stop, Ale. You’re neither my mami nor my big sister.”, you interrupted the captain annoyed.
“I promise I’ll not hurt her. I couldn’t be happier.”, your girlfriend declared solemnly.
“Good.”, the blonde nodded satisfied.
“You can calm down now.”, you rolled your eyes at her.
“We should order another round of drinks.”, Mapi suggested enthusiastically.
“Sounds like a good idea.” Kika waited until everyone had a newly filled glass in their hands to toast. “Cheers to the power of love and friendship.”
“To another Barca couple.”, the defender from Zaragoza added smirking.
“You look like a proud aunt.”, Ingrid observed smiling.
“I feel like one.”, Mapi acknowledged, resting her head on her girlfriend’s shoulder.
The rest of the evening was a joyful time with teammates who become friends and some of them lovers.
“And that’s a wrap.”, your girlfriend confirmed once she took a mirror selfie which had the whole team in it.
Slowly each of the women went down a different road which would lead them home so by the end of your walk it was only Kika and you walking hand in hand through the streets which were lit by the lamplights.
“That was nice.”, you hummed.
“Agreed, come on time to go home, meu amor.”, she replied. At the end of the road, you both knew that your place was waiting for you.
“I’m coming.”, you told her, almost running now, because you couldn’t wait to be in the four walls you called your home now with the woman you loved.

Super Mario Bros. contains a famous exploit where a Koopa Troopa walking down a staircase can be repeatedly bounced on to gain infinite 1-Ups. However, there is a specific variation of this exploit that is more stylish as it allows Mario to use two enemies to bounce off in that manner, essentially performing it twice at the same time.
After beating the game and starting again from the title screen, all Goombas are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. This causes two Buzzy Beetles to appear in the area of World 5-2 shown in the footage. By stomping on them in the manner depicted, two instances of the infinite lives exploit are able to run parallel to each other, each using one of the Buzzy Beetles.

Dreaming Seamless Dreams [Yandere Shigaraki x Reader]
Title: Dreaming Seamless Dreams [Yandere Shigaraki x Reader]
Synopsis: Follow-up to And The Danger Danger Drawing Near Them. what happens when Shigaraki Tomura decides he gets to keep you?
Word count: 3000ish
Notes: yandere, kidnapped reader, non-graphic noncon, noncon groping, depression, loss of appetite
When it’s quiet–which is not always, depending on who decides to stay awake and how soundproof the current hideout is–you think too much.
Like right now. It’s too quiet, and your thoughts are starting to hop around. Jumping from thought to thought. Thoughts about the rose-tinted past, the uncertain future–though the future was perhaps not any less uncertain than your present.
It becomes too much, too easily. Tears inevitably pool in your eyes. Your throat gets tight, your stomach hurts. You curl up and curl up until you can’t possibly twist inward anymore than you already are, leaving you with one pitiful lament:
Why do you have to think so damned much?
Maybe it’s because Shigaraki isn’t here at the moment. He’s talking to the League, you think. It must be at the other end of the building, because you don’t hear a peep from anyone. No arguments, no shouts, no excited agreements on what hero they were going to try to kill next.
Just you and your thoughts and the dim buzz of the world at night. Insects, somewhere outside. The occasional groan of a night wind. The sound of the world itself, fuzzy, buzzy in the background.
And when you’re actually alone in bed like this, arm curled up against the pillows propped under your head, tucked into a blanket, you can pretend. Pretend that it’s your bed, in your room, and with the quiet and lack of your captor here, well–
It’s almost like it was before.
The thought hits your gut hard. Tears instinctively reach your eyes, and you’re glad Shigaraki isn’t here to wipe them away. You do it yourself, like you would have done before all this. You didn’t appreciate your life enough, you’ve since realized.
A quiet life where all you did was work your job and come home and occasionally go out with friends for little things. Coffee dates, heading to the bookstore, shopping for clothes. Ooing-and-ahhing over the little changes of life dropped into every conversation.
A quiet life where you were free to do what you wanted, when you wanted. Where you weren’t a prisoner (not that he’d call you that, no matter how many times you said it earlier on) bound to the whims of someone who claimed to love you, even though his love was more want than love.
A quiet life where you didn’t hear people talking about destroying the world through the wall.
The thought gets choked out when your breath hitches. It hurts too much to think about, the loss of your old life.
And anyway–
The door creaks open and Shigaraki pauses in it. Like a monster in the closet doorway, hovering, waiting for just the right moment to strike.
Your eyes squeeze shut like a child, willing the image of genuine sleep to project over you like some sort of hazy fairy tale. Willing yourself, too, not to take a peek and look at him. If you don’t see the monster, it doesn’t see you. Or so you used to think, as a child. When naivety was normal, and not wish-fulfillment.
Maybe tonight, he’ll go to bed without demanding something from you. Maybe you can pretend to be home, in your own bed, and ignore the hum of his wants.
The weight of his gaze covers you like an extra blanket before he mumbles, “I know you’re awake.”
Ah. It’s pointless to keep pretending. So you shift yourself up in the bed and let the blanket drop from your chest, exposing the used t-shirt he gave you to sleep in. One of his, of course. You still don’t look at him, not directly. You settle for staring at his legs. He’s wearing shoes.
“Where were you?” The question comes out softer than you meant it. If you’re too soft, he thinks you’re being sweet on him. The reality is that you’re just too damn tired to argue sometimes. Maybe he knows that, actually; maybe he likes it better that way.
You can hear the damned smirk on his mouth when he finally speaks.
“Did you miss me?”
That damned smirk fades, you know this through sheer muscle memory, when your unspoken no hangs in the air between you.
He’ll be annoyed, that you weren’t more receptive to him. That can be bad. It can be good, though, on occasion. When he’s too annoyed, he sometimes decides to huff and puff and leave you alone.
But not always. It can make him angry; make him grab your arm and yank you around, pull you close and remind you of his quirk. Death under his fingers, rot and dust, so stop acting like such a damned brat all the time.
In the middle, though, there is a strange sort of ambivalence in him when you don’t do what he wants. It’s worse, in some ways, when he acts like this. Like nothing you say has any effect. You’re nothing, weak, a buzzing, useless thing that might as well be quiet for all the good protest does you.
It reminds you just how little say you have in everything.
Because sometimes–like tonight, you realize, in just a few moments–it doesn’t seem to matter much to him at all. Because in the stretch of a few moments, he’s on the bed, tugging off his shoes and tossing them to the floor with a loud clunk.
Because he doesn’t just remove his shoes–his trousers and shirt goes with it, leaving him in his boxer shorts and worn-out socks and nothing else.
“I don’t–” you begin, when he begins to crawl his way up the mattress, towards you, towards the blanket you feebly bring up against your t-shirt clad chest. The words get stuck in your throat as he grips the blanket, a finger on each hand carefully tucked to the side, and yanks it down.
You don’t miss the warmth so much as you miss the ghost of protection it gave you.
“Wait,” you try again, as his body takes the place of the blanket. Just as warm, but far more intrusive, caging you in with nowhere to go. His hair hangs down against his cheeks as he takes
you in, and even in the dimness of the room–the moon filtering in through tattered curtains letting you see enough–his intentions are apparent.
Before you can protest further, his hands are on you. He unceremoniously gropes your chest and you let out an awkward sound that is far too much like a pathetic bleat as his fingers grope and squeeze; first your chest, then down, down, past your stomach and lower. Tickling and itching and unwanted.
“Stop.” The word finally comes out, peeled off like an old bandage. “I don’t–I don’t want you to–not right now. Not tonight.” You can’t fend him off forever. You know that. But when he’s good–and this is a stretch of the word, you know–he does listen to you.
He’s not listening now.
Because he doesn’t stop. Instead he leans forward, and presses a hot kiss against your mouth. There’s too much warmth, from his breath, his tongue, his body against yours.
“Not tonight,” he tells you, batting aside your protests like a gnat. Another kiss against your mouth, and you fight the urge to press it shut. “I want you,” he continues, voice lower, darker. His fingers flutter against the edge of the shirt and lift it up, pushing it against your collar bones, exposing you fully.
His breath comes in slow and he leans back just a little, taking you in. What must be your flushed expression, you think. Helpless and prone under him, bound to his whims.
Bound to listen to his thoughts, too, when they come low and sickly sweet.
“You’re so pretty, you know?”
So you’ve said, you think, bitterly, as his hands go to pull down the waistband of his trousers.
“Shigaraki–”
“Tomura,” he corrects. There’s a force behind his voice that wasn’t there before, and you feel yourself shrink inside.
“Tomura,” you force out, even though the name tastes dry on your tongue. But maybe if you act sweeter, he’ll listen. Maybe so. “Please. I don’t want to.”
Maybe he considers it. Maybe not. Regardless, he leans in again, this time pressing his kisses against your neck. Your chin jerks up slowly at the sensation. It’s not the first time, not the last time either, that he gives you hickies.
“Well, I do want to,” he murmurs, the words melting into your skin with his breath. He must feel you still underneath him, the way you stiffen, the way your breath comes in tighter. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure it feels good. I promise.” His teeth drag against your skin and you feel his fingers fumble against your underwear.
You will hate yourself in the morning for the relief you find in his promise.
–
It gets harder to live like this. Harder to do anything other than sleep and cry and regret. Some days, you don’t get out of bed at all. You don’t eat, you can’t be bothered to ask for a shower or even a toothbrush. Thoughts of treats–books you want to read, a game you’d like to play–get pushed to the back of your brain with anything else that no longer matters much.
Why bother, when the world is coming out so wrong?
It is Tomura who tries to drag some life out of you. Tomura who makes you shower, who watches you eat, who tells you to get up and walk around the room. Who sits you down in front of a video game and shoves the player two controller into your hands and says, curtly, “Don’t make me die on this level or you’ll regret it.”
One day you even tell him that it’s hypocritical, because he doesn’t take great care of himself. How often does he subsist on scraps of junk? How often does he sleep too little, or not at all? It’s bullshit, to expect you to do all of that when he can’t be bothered.
At this, his expression shifts and you almost start to feel sick with worry, but then, it becomes clear. He looks–happy. Not happy like he is when you submit underneath him, a greasy sort of joy that makes your stomach hurt.
But almost–light. Almost bright. Almost a sort of happiness that peels away a layer on him and shows you something else underneath.
“You’re worried about me, huh?”
It’s a slap in the face. It’s also, sort of, maybe, a little bit true.
“I’m not,” is all you can say, but he only smiles and shakes his head.
“It’s cute,” he says, before pointing at your half-finished meal. Some yogurt with a vague fruity flavor, a piece of bread, some slices of beef that was too overdone. “Now eat the rest. You need protein.”
It’s ridiculous, the way he hovers over your meals sometimes. Usually just on the days where you don’t want to get out of bed or do anything but stare at the wall and contemplate how life led you here.
You stab at the yogurt with your spoon and have half a mind to throw it at him. Only half, though, so you have to be satisfied with your yogurt-stabbing. Petty thought it is.
“Don’t test me,” he says, that edge of warning still there–always there, you think. Always ready to be pulled out of his pockets like a bare hand, all 5 fingers at the ready. “Just because you’re cute doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want.”
He’s right on that mark, at least. What you want doesn’t matter anymore.
What hurts the most is the question that immediately comes afterward, like an unwanted fly in the house:
Did it ever matter?
–
“It hurts.” Your voice rings hollow, even to your own ears, despite the earnest wish to put some truly nasty petulance behind it. But true petulance, the kind that made your gut warm and brain smarmy, required an energy you no longer had; not here, in these cramped spaces, this isolating life.
(Isolating, you think, but not isolated. Not with the leader of the League of Villains clinging to your every breath. Not with the constant chatter and clatter of the League, sometimes far away, sometimes right on the other side of the wall.)
Tomura Shigaraki’s hands still, and the comb gripped in not-quite-all of his fingers goes still against your scalp. For a moment, you think he’ll huff out a sigh, and threaten to punish you. Tie you to the headboard or the radiator and leave you there to think about things;
“It wouldn’t hurt,” he says, continuing to tug with the comb, “if you would stop squirming.” A nearly fruitless effort on his part: while you’d relished the initial gifts of self-care you were given once you “calmed down enough,” you eventually realized there was no point to it.
Why bathe, why keep your hair nice, why do anything at all but lie down in whatever bed you were given at the latest League hideout and contemplate the utter shithole of your existence?
Easier to rot in bed, to cry yourself to sleep, to squeeze your eyes shut and try to block out his arms around you, his breath on your neck. His words in your ears; how much he loves you, he wants you, you’re his-his-his.
Nothing to be gained, from a life like that. No, that’s not quite right, is it? You do have one thing–and it’s a modest consideration, in your isolated, depressing world. But even you can’t deny the satisfaction of bothering him.
It’s the one thing you still have any control over, after all.
“I wouldn’t be squirming,” you shoot back, voice tight and tart, “if you weren’t combing my hair.”
There is something satisfying in the brief stillness that follows–the quiet shock when your barbs have just enough audacity to make him shut up–before the air crackles with a familiar heavy irritation.
You know what’s coming even before he does it.
“You–” He bites down on the word, foregoing the comb to scratch at his own neck. When you crane your own neck to see, there they are: the scratches, which might turn into deeper gouges depending on how his mood shifts. Enough to bleed, sometimes, depending on how hard he digs.
It’s enough to make your breath hitch. Uncomfortable memories come flooding in. The days when you were unruly. When you spit in his face. When you told him you hated him, you hoped All Might would kill him, that you’d never feel anything but spite and hate and–it was like you were back in your house.
Back in the closet with fear making your stomach clench so hard you thought you were going to puke. Back when he destroyed your door and your life in one fell swoop. Back when you heard those damned words–”You’re pretty”--and the world went upside down.
You’d felt nothing but fear that night, being dragged away from your life among strangers–the girl kept tittering and someone made an ugly remark about what he wanted with you and all it had taken was a stern look from Shigaraki and everyone went silent. Except for you, sniffling, crying, begging for this not to happen.
But it did happen, and he took you, and he could be mean but not always. You could tell, when he was going to be mean. There were signs. His voice got tighter and tougher, he snapped more easily. And he scratched, usually.
Like now, his fingers digging into the skin, with–
Blood. Suddenly there is the familiar taste of it, all warm iron leaking onto your tongue. In your fear and flinching, you must have bit down on your cheek without realizing it and Shigaraki must have realized.
Must have seen the way you flinched and shrunk into yourself at the sight of him getting too annoyed. Bordering on angry. Bordering on being the Shigaraki on the news who kidnapped you that night, not the one clings to you in bed, who presses kisses to your cheek with scratchy lips, who offers to let you play his video games if you eat your whole lunch this time.
He likes it better, you think, when you see him like that.
Because now he’s cursing, crouching, kneeling in front of you with thumbs wiping away the hot messy tears.
“Shh,” he croons. It’s a familiar sensation, too, this feeling of his thumbs rubbing down your cheeks. He does this on the days you don’t get out of bed, sometimes. When the tears simply fall, leaking onto the pillowcase, and you can’t tell him exactly why you started–other than the basic truth. That you want to go home. That you don’t want to be here.
He keeps it up, this ritual, until you stop sniffling; until your body comes down from the mountain high of anxiety and lets you sail down to something a bit more like a gentle calm.
He waits until you look at him again, eyes all puffy, to speak. His voice is softer now. Less irritation, and more instruction. Like you’re some beloved pet who needs to be talked to before they go off to the veterinarian for their shots.
“If I don’t take care of your hair,” he says, and a thumb reaches over to tuck a piece behind your ear, “you’ll get knots.” He picks up the comb again, and this time you feel too worn out to fight. “You could get infections on your scalp.” To this, you murmur, something noncommittal.
A bit of a smile in his voice–and on his face–now that you’re quiet, letting him do it, even when he hits a knot and it tugs your head sideways. When you sniffle, he coos, and you vow not to sniffle, whimper or anything remotely pathetic for the rest of the night.
If you can manage it, with what he says next.
“After this,” he says, and the smile takes on an edge you don’t like, low and warm, “we’ll see about getting you a bath.”

thank you again for all these wonderful stories 🙏 I was wondering if you'd ever consider writing something for Rumble? I have a big soft spot for the guy and I feel like he'd love finally being bigger than someone
Sure

IDW Rumble x Reader
• Frag, where’s Frenzy? And why had he let his twin talk him into this stupidity? A soft body brushes against him swaying with the thump of the heavy bass pulsing through the club, the flashing neon lights dazzling his optics. Around him costumed humans laugh and dance, bodies brushing against him, because to them he’s just another organic in a costume. He belongs and it’s such an odd feeling. Especially when little fingers catch his servos and turning he finds a human grinning up at him, a pair of crooked costume wings drooping on your back, one wing partially crushed.
• “Wow, you’re tall,” you laugh, clinging to the stranger’s hand. Somewhere behind you, there’s the sound of your ex calling your name and you tug at your new, big friend slipping between him and the guy hunting for you. As buzzy as you are, your ex is wasted and you have no intention of letting him get his rough hands on you ever again. You have enough scars for a lifetime. No, you’d rather take your chances with a complete stranger in a weirdly elaborate costume. “You went all out, huh?” Reaching up to slide your palm over what feels like metal panels. Wasn’t all that heavy and hot? The guy must be sweating in all that.
• Freezing, his lips part as the little human runs soft hands over him, head craning to smile up at him. And it’s so strange to have to look down at someone. Your expression becomes pinched as someone yells, then you’re reaching up and those unbelievably soft hands are cupping his helm to tug his head down. And a warm mouth suddenly presses against his, electric through him.
• That jerk is right there, bound to see you any moment so you pull the guy down to you and kiss him, praying your ex passes by. That this guy plays along. Not expecting for him to curl an arm around you to cup the back of your head or for the other big hand to grip your butt and drag you flush up against him. And those hands are warm as his mouth moves against yours, taking over the kiss and making it something demanding and hungry and deliciously unexpected.
• Primus, help him as you mold yourself to him, little hands clinging as your mouth opens to let him in, let him taste as his glossa explores, sliding against your tongue. His servos tangle in your hair, his other hand tightening on you to keep you from trying to escape, because whatever this is, he wants it to last. Growling when you break free, eyes hooded. “Slow down, sport,” your voice is lower, huskier as you nip at his bottom lip with a laugh, that sound going straight through him in a flush of need.
• “Don’t go,” he growls, big hands flexing against you as his already rough voice deepens. It’s not a request so much as a heated demand. And oh, it’s tempting. No one’s ever kissed you like that before, hungry and almost desperate. Reaching up, you curl your arms around his neck and his own arms tighten possessively around you. You’d come to the club alone, but if you have your way, your unwitting hero is coming home with you for a real thank you.

i have this problem where i can just have a tiny sip of a engery drink but my body is just shaking like fucking crazy a second later could you do hcs of how hawks, dabi and maybe shigaraki would react to this?

Keigo
”hey…sweets?”
Keigo eyed you with a weird expression. Worry, amusement, and absolute confusion all in one. You tilted your head, raising a brow at him.
“yes, Keigo?”
He paused for a moment, looking down at your hands, then back up at your eyes, which remained fixed on his.
“why’re you shaking like that?”
“just stole a sip of your energy drink”
His eyes widened slightly as he glanced back at the energy drink on your coffee table, and then once again right back at you, his mouth agape.
“just a sip!? And you’re shaking like that?!”
“yyyyup.”
The two of you stared at each other for a moment before Keigo broke out laughing like an idiot, holding his stomach as he practically keeled over.
“what’s so funny?”
“you’re like a caffeine lightweight! This’s fuckin hilarious!”
“oh shut up!”
✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
Touya
“you look like a fuckin chihuahua”
Touya sat on the couch in the league hideout, a wide smirk on his face as you glanced over at him. You couldn’t help but pout at his statement, your brow furrowed in confusion.
“what the heck? What do you mean? I do not!”
“you’re sure shakin like one.”
He stood up, chuckling as he walked towards you, the thud of his boots making you twitch a little, only earning another chuckle from him when he stopped in front of you”
“have you eaten?”
“yes?”
“full meals?”
“…yes?”
“then what the fuck are you shakin like that for?”
“I dunno”
“do i need to take you to a doctor? What’ve you had??”
“I mean, I had a sip of Togas energy drink…”
At this, Touya scoffed, although it was more like a barky laugh. You tilted your head, your brow furrowing further.
“it’s not funny!”
“it’s hilarious. Admit it.”
“…”
“your silence speaks volumes, doll.”
✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
Tomura
When Tomura gave you a sip of his energy drink while he was playing League, he hadn’t expected you to get all…buzzy. I mean, it was an energy drink, but your reactions to it were certainly something. He tried to focus on the game over your constant chattering, which was proving difficult. What had gotten into you?
Before he knew it, he was turning to look at you with a frown, pulling off his headphones which hadn’t helped to block out your noise in the slightest.
“hey…y/n?”
“yeah, Tomura?”
“remind me to never let you get a drink of my- oh my god your hands!”
See, as he’d turned around to look at you, his hands landed on your hands, which were currently shaking like crazy. He looked up at you while you looked down at your hands. And then, of all things, you shrugged.
“you’re the one who gave me the energy drink Tomu”
“I-ugh…yeah, guess you’re right…lesson learned then”
And so, he sent you one last confused glance before turning back to his game. While he played, he could see you lurking up behind him, your hand reaching for his drink once again. He flicked it away, shooting you a smirky glare.
“nope. Not making that mistake again. Get water.”

⸻ THE PRINCE(SS) & THE PROTECTOR [PT. 2]
pairing: zoro x reader
word count: 2.4k
synopsis: refer to the first chapter: HERE
note: this is the SECOND part of this fic: TPATP
^^please read the first part before this chapter, as it will be confusing otherwise :)
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
ZORO
Three months had passed along the winter winds. Spring was just behind the proverbial corner, peeking its blooming head around, awaiting the final frost’s imminent leave. For Zoro, this shift was taking far too long.
Why?
Because when the seasons changed, he would finally be able to see you again.
The message arrived last week. A letter, embossed with molten gold and folded into perfect fours, found its way onto the deck by way of carrier falcon in the early morning. It had been addressed to Luffy. For some reason, disappointment struck Zoro when the sender was revealed to be you.
He shook the strange feeling away and snatched the thick paper from Luffy’s hand to read over its contents. There was only a single sentence written on the sheet, penned in careful, familiar cursive.
Luffy jumped around, craning his neck—which was quite easy for him—to catch a glimpse of the message. “What is it? I want to see.”
Zoro ignored his captain, instead he folded the paper and carefully pocketed it.
“Well?”
A huge grin spread across Zoro’s face. “It’s time to get our crew back together.”
The Spring Solstice is approaching.
I hope to see you all there.
✧ ˚ · .
The Merry docked in the sparkling harbours of a bustling metropolis. It was early morning—too early—and Zoro could feel the grogginess of a sleepless night weigh his limbs down. Despite the ungodly hour, the marina was buzzing with activity. People milled around, conversations floating seamlessly through the air. Some were setting up shop for the day—rows of all kinds of stores lined the inner docks and stretched far into the heart of the city. Others roamed about in various fashion; some were tourists and merchants, and others native citizens. No matter the purpose or the cause, everyone had the same buzzy manner to them. As if something electric was in the air, charging the atmosphere.
Zoro felt it too. That energy. That excitement. His blood thrummed with it.
The sun had just peeked over the horizon, casting the glossy buildings and shores in rosy hues. Your native kingdom was a modernist's dream. A glowing hub of glass, electricity, and the constant momentum of new, inspired invention. The technology here was all encompassing. Neon lights lined the sides of glittering buildings—some of which occupied their own space in the sky, suspended above the first foundational skyline. The vehicles zipping around, at least what Zoro thought were vehicles, were strange, sleek models equipped with an array of digital enhancements. They could fly too.
It seemed everything here belonged more to the sky than the earth.
Twenty minutes swiftly passed, and the crew slowly filtered away, each member marching off with their own designation in mind. Luffy wandered, led by his nose, down the streets filled with food stalls. The others offhandedly mentioned their own plans and each went their separate way. They made a promise to meet up in time for dinner, which was when they’d planned on surprising you at the palace.
The invitation itself was vague, but the shiny embossment at the bottom of the paper was the royal seal, a symbol which would, at minimum, grant them an audience with the king—and subsequently you.
A familiar groan made Zoro look up as he readied his own supplies to head out.
Sanji was off in a corner conversing with one of the store owners. They were engaged in what looked to be a heated transaction of sorts where the prize seemed to be a mint-coloured fish the size of a pencil and just as slim. The cook waved his hands in exasperation as the short, stocky salesman stared up at him in defiance.
Zoro shook his head, unable to muster any enthusiasm as he left the two bickering men to their devices. Instead, he ambled away and toyed with the hilt of his swords as he did so, rolling the smooth leather against the calloused skin of his fingers in an effort to expel the frayed nerves that rolled through his veins, causing his anxiety.
The city, alive as it was, had a strange air about it. As Zoro gradually made his way through the harbour and down the smoothly paved walkways that led to the heart of the metropolitan core, it became clearer to him that something had occurred—something important.
Shops had [CLOSED] signs put up despite it being late morning, flowers of all kinds were strewn around and fashioned into careful decorations, and many wore outfits of muted colours—a sea of grey and black trickled through the nation’s paths.
It was as if the city itself was in mourning.
Zoro shut those thoughts away. Perhaps those were the trends of the time. Perhaps the flowers were a cultural custom. Perhaps he was imagining it all and the foreboding thoughts invading his mind were nothing but unwarranted paranoia.
Everything was fine.
Until it wasn’t.
✧ ˚ · .
Miraculously, the crew congregated at the palace entrance relatively on time. Getting through the gates was surprisingly easy, and gaining an audience with the king—your father—was even easier.
The tall, imposing man greeted the crew with a wobbly smile. His hands, weathered and wrinkled with age, gripped his staff tightly until his knuckles turned white.
Something was wrong. Zoro was sure of it. Where were you?
“I did hope to meet you all under better circumstances,” he began. His brows furrowed as he worked his next words out. “[Y/N] always spoke so highly of you all.”
Zoro’s entire body tensed. Something was very very wrong.
Robin spoke up. “I apologize, Your Majesty, but what do you mean by that? Where is [Y/N]?”
The king’s expression falls. “I’m sorry… I thought you knew.”
“Knew what?” Zoro demanded, the thought of propriety forgoed. Anxiety bubbled up his throat like acid.
“The invitation was sent so long ago… I assumed that you received my letter regarding the news…”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“The letter of…” His lips trembled. “Of passing. I am sorry. [Y/N] is gone.”
The room fell silent.
“What? What are—what do you mean?”
Luffy stared straight at the floor, still as a rock. The rest of the crew looked shell shocked.
Zoro whirled around on the older man, eyes flashing.
“Tell me!”
Despite the obvious tension rolling off of Zoro, the man’s expression only softened in pity.
“I’m sorry.”
“What… what happened?” Sanji rasped from behind. Zoro turned at the sound of his voice and blanked at the sight.
Why were they looking at him like that? Like their hearts were breaking?
“Zoro.” Robin rested a hand on his shoulder in comfort, which was strange considering the tears in her eyes. It seemed she should be the one comforted. But why?
Why were they all…
Realization dawned on him. Heavy. Precise. A shot to the heart.
The tributes.
The singular letter.
A city in mourning.
Zoro dropped to his knees. His ears rang as blood rushed through his head. The reality of it was hitting him all too fast.
No.
He had never known grief like this before. It didn’t come slow. It didn’t creep up on him. It was there. Raw. Searing. Instant.
Sobs broke out from behind, but he barely took notice.
There was no room to breathe, much less think or speak. He tried anyway.
“…dy.”
Robin furrowed her brows, confused. “What was that?”
“The body.”
When no one answered and the tense silence persevered, Zoro lost it.
“I said show me the damn body!”
The swordsman was yelling now, fueled only by pain.
Hate. Regret. Despair.
Such foreign feelings with such an intimate touch. They rolled through him in waves, never fully dulled, ebbing and flowing with the motions of thought and time.
His chest was hollow. Everything was hollow. Empty. Zoro didn’t think he’d ever feel whole again.
How could this have happened?
This couldn’t have. They were mistaken. They had to be.
He had to see the body. It couldn’t be you. It couldn’t.
The screams continued. Curses. He cursed the gods… the heavens… anyone and everyone. He must have looked insane.
He must have gone insane.
The king only shook his head, sadness clouding his expression.
“The fire… nothing was left. Only…” he trailed off, eyes wide and glistening. “Only bones.”
“Oh…God!” Nami gasped and covered her mouth. Her hands trembled as she struggled to keep her cries at bay.
The rest of the crew weren’t faring much better. Each crew member was equally just as shocked and devastated at the news of your death. Most hadn’t stopped crying.
Zoro didn’t cry. He didn’t say another word until they made it back to the ship hours later. The moment he reached the hallways leading to his room, he collapsed. Robin and Luffy, who had been with him, rushed to their friend's aid.
Zoro felt nothing. Numbness had spread throughout his body, paralyzing what little control he had over himself.
The two others tried to help—to console him—to no avail.
They were at Zoro’s door, hands on his shoulders in comfort and solidarity, when he finally spoke up. His voice was rough and cracked; his palm was splayed flat against the wooden panel in an attempt to keep himself upright.
“Leave me,” he gritted out. A final plea. An incontestable order.
And so they did. They left him to that room—to the privacy of the oak door that did little to obscure his pain or muffle the echoes of silent suffering.
For weeks after, the ship was haunted by the ghost of you—of the memories and people left behind, forever tainted. Life, as static as it felt, still moved forward. The motions of the everyday cycled through spring until summer made its way across the horizon. The crew worked tirelessly, taking on odd jobs here and there as they sailed to their next destination, far from the land you once called home.
An accident, the king had said.
Unpreventable.
Inescapable.
You were merely at the wrong place at the wrong time and dealt a tragic hand by fate. Zoro had never quite believed in fate, but now he held a newfound hatred for it.
“[Y/N] was supposed to come back.”
“Zoro…” Nami hesitated. This was the most Zoro had spoken in days.
“Some time would pass. Maybe longer than I wanted, but not more than half a year.” His voice faltered on the last part.
“Everyone would make up. Chopper would cry. Sanji and Usopp too, probably. The awkwardness would linger, but only for a little while. I had it all planned out; what I’d say when we were reunited. I’d apologize. Grovel. Beg on my goddamn knees if that’s what it took. It didn’t matter. I would have crawled through the dirt if asked.”
Zoro’s eyes were unfocused, gazing blankly into the far horizon. The crew stood across from him near the ship’s helm, uneasy and somber, blocking most of the view. Zoro continued to stare forward, unmoving. He wasn’t looking at them. Rather, he stared past them. Through them. Like they weren’t even there. He just…watched. Waiting in silence for something that would never appear.
Time moved forward still, stubborn in its momentum against those so desperate to stay tethered in its past.
It was early morning and not many of the crew were awake yet. Robin and Sanji were the only ones awake aside from Zoro, though they were more preoccupied with the swordsman than their own responsibilities.
Zoro was training on the upper deck. He repeatedly slashed his swords in a sharp movement against a steel mannequin. The poor thing was in tatters from the relentless onslaught of strikes and hits.
Robin, who was watching from a short distance away, asked: “Has he slept?”
Another slash. The training dummy rattled from the force as another gaping hole appeared in its extremity. It wouldn’t last much longer.
“No. But he doesn’t do much of anything. He drinks, sleeps, and trains to the point of exhaustion every day,” Sanji sighed, hand ruffling through his hair in frustration. “He barely even eats. I tried making his favourite meal last night but he couldn’t keep it down for longer than five minutes. I’m… concerned.”
“He’s lost some weight,” Robin noted with a frown.
“Yeah, well… he’s lost a lot of things recently.”
A pause.
“So have we.”
Sanji swallowed. The loss was still fresh in their hearts. Still raw and painful and devastating. Sometimes he’d forget for a little bit. He’d prepare a meal, share a laugh, or lose himself in a job, and for a second he’d forget all about the pain. But seconds were seconds and life moved fast—too fast for them to grasp those moments of peace and hold onto them like lifelines, which they so deeply resembled.
Zoro didn’t have the privilege of those moments.
Sanji turned to face Robin to address her, but kept his eyes on Zoro. “I’ve never seen him so…”
“Out of it?”
“I was going to say ‘crazed’. His screams… god, it sounded like he was the one dying. Right there. Right in front of us.”
“Sometimes, I think he might have been,” Robin answered, a sad finality in her words.
“How do we help him come back from this?”
“I don’t know if he will.”
Zoro could hear them, but it didn’t matter. Nothing mattered. Not anymore.
At least, not until a certain day, near the end of summer, when the sun hung low and the breeze turned kind. Luffy had convinced his first mate to accompany him to a small town for a supply run when Zoro had inadvertently found himself lost in the midst of the countryside.
After an hour-long trek, he had all but given up. In a bid to return to the ship, he had tapped the back of a stranger, prepared to ask for directions he inevitably would’ve confused as well, but as the hooded figure turned around, all thoughts emptied from his mind.
All Zoro could do was stare as you turned to him, familiar eyes locking onto his own glassy ones.
“[Y/N].”
You gazed at the man before you, a warm but confused expression graced your face.
Zoro didn’t look like he was breathing. He didn’t feel like he was either. He was too focused on you.
You who stood in front of him.
You who was alive.
You who was real. Not the imagined version that haunted his dreams on the nights he managed an hour or two of sleep.
You who looked at him like he was a stranger.
“I’m sorry, who are you?”
