Take it All Off
Evan “Buck” Buckley x plus size!fem!reader
You show Buck your new outfit and he’s more than happy to show you how much he loves it.
cw: MDNI (18+) smut (p in v) unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it) body worship, body insecurity
Thanks @the-witty-pen-name for giving me this idea!
You check yourself out in the mirror, turning this way and that, admiring what you look like in the little number that you bought. It somehow looks even better than it did in the dressing room. The top is definitely more low cut and revealing than you would usually go for. It’s a pretty green color and laces up in the front. It shows off more than you usually would, but you have to admit that you love the way you look. Especially paired with the jeans you also just bought.
They hug your body in just the right spots and now you can’t wait for Buck to get home, knowing that he’ll love your new look. He loves you if whatever you want to wear but you know that he especially loves when you wear something tight, the way the fabric hugs your curves. It never fails to make him want to take you right then and there.
You hear the front door open and you tighten the laces to give yourself more cleavage then try your best to put on a flirty face as you see Buck enter the room in the reflection of the mirror. His eyes widen as he gets a good look at you and you continue to fake flirty faces at him.
He marches over and grabs hold of your arm, turning you around to face him. His eyes rake over your entire body, lust filling them as he does so. He doesn’t know what the occasion is, but he’s not going to question it. He thinks you look fucking hot.
He was already hard beyond belief from the photo you sent of the outfit while he was at work, but now he can barely hold it in any longer seeing you in person. He’s got to have you and he’s got to have you right now. He’s going to worship every inch of your body, to show you just how much he loves it. Especially because he knows that you need reassurance sometimes.
“Fuck,” is all he’s able to say as his eyes travel back up to your cleavage. “I mean-fuck-” He’s at a loss for words and your cheeks heat at what you assume is a compliment.
“You like it?” You ask and his eyes travel back up to yours, giving you a look as if to ask if you’re serious.
“Love it,” he replies. “Let me show you how much.” There’s no way you’re going to say no to that. He sits at the end of the bed and helps you straddle his waist, his hands resting on your waist, his favorite place to hold onto. Your arms warm around his neck as he pulls you in for a kiss.
He’s warning you up like always, being gentle before getting rough like he knows you like. You’re the one who always takes it there but he loves giving you the control. He just wants his girl to be happy and he doesn’t care what he has to do to make it happen.
“I’m going to fucking worship you,” he whispers against your lips. “Gonna show you just how much I love you. All of you. Because as much as I love that top, honey, it has to come off.”
Your cheeks heat at his words and he pulls you in for another kiss, his arms wrapping around your waist tightly as his tongue flicks into your mouth. It plays with yours and you can’t help but moan at the feeling, needing him now more than ever.
He continues to kiss you as if his life depends on it as he unlaces the top, going as slowly as possible, wanting to savor your kisses as he does so. Once he’s got it all undone, he pulls back as he pushes it off of your shoulders, the thing falling down your arms and clattering to the floor.
Buck takes a moment to take in your now bare chest. He’s always so taken aback by how absolutely beautiful you are, almost like he’s looking at you for the first time. He always feels like the luckiest man in the world and he can’t believe that out of all the men on this earth, you chose him. And he’ll never take that for granted.
He leans you back just a touch as his hands rest against your bare back. He leans down and pressed feather light kisses to your shoulder, peppering it with them before making a line of them across your chest to the other shoulder. In between, he whispers compliments into your skin, wanting you to know exactly what it is about you that he loves so much.
“Your skin is so soft,” he says as his lips find their way to your neck, tilting your head to the side so he has more access. “And you smell so good.” He takes a deep breath through his nose to get a whiff. “I love when you spray your perfume on my clothes.”
“I’ll do it more often,” you reply as he buries his face into your neck.
“Please do.” He presses another kiss to your neck and another and another before he goes in for a hard suck, making you gasp before melting into him. He knows how much you love when he leaves his mark on you.
He continues to lick and suck on your neck as your hands rest on his shoulder blades. And when he bites down, you let out a loud moan as your fingers curl, your nails digging into his back. He’s holding back a smug smile as he hears how good he’s making you feel.
Your back arches into his as he bites down again and again, making you moan over and over until you can’t take it anymore, orgasming as he gives you one more bite before pulling away.
As Buck picks you up and carries you over to the bed, you know that this is far from over. And you’re happy to let him do anything he wants to you. For once, he’s in charge and you’re looking forward to lying down and taking it.
His hands go to unbutton your jeans and he pulls them down your legs with a little struggle but he eventually gets them off, followed by your panties which both end up in a pile on the floor. He takes a moment to take in your naked body before taking off his own clothes, throwing them to the side where yours have been discarded.
Before you get a chance to look at him, he places himself on top of you and takes your hands in his before kissing your lips. This one is more gentle than the others but it still makes your head spin, especially when he smiles into it because you make him that happy. You really can’t believe you found the perfect man.
Just when you’re getting into it, he pulls away and goes back to kissing your body again, whispering more compliments into your skin, making it heat.
“I love your stretch marks,” he says as he lets his fingers dance along the grooves of the ones that line your hips. He tells you this all the time but feels the need to every time he thinks about it because he just wants to assure you that he loves you just the way you are. “I know you don’t, but I love them. They not only give you character, but they make you you.”
You can feel yourself tearing up and it makes you feel silly considering what you’re about to do but you can’t help it. Buck always knows exactly what you need to hear. He wipes away your tears then pressed a kiss to every single stretch mark he can find and you can’t help but feel yourself tear up again, knowing for sure that this is the most you’ve ever felt loved in your life.
When he comes back up, he peppers your face with kisses, letting you know that you can cry if you need to, wiping the tears away as you fall.
“I just love you,” you tell him which makes him smile before he leans in for yet another kiss.
“I love you too,” he replies and when he pulls back to look you in the eyes again, he knows that you’re ready. He goes to reach for a condom but you’re quick to stop him and he hopes that he hasn’t done something to upset you.
“I don’t want to use one. I want to feel you. I want it to feel more intimate.” He smiles again as he leaves the condom on the bedside table. Neither of you have ever done this before but you have to admit that it feels freeing.
You both watch as he gets inside you-just the tip so you’re not overwhelmed-and he slowly starts to thrust. The whole thing feels so foreign but you both have to admit that feels so good.
Buck’s pace picks up just a bit more and the fact that you already look like you’re close encourages him to go even faster, even harder. You’re already coming undone, feeling like you could come apart any second. And Buck’s encouraging words are definitely helping.
“You look so pretty, angel. Sound so pretty. Make some more sounds for me?” His hands grab hold of your hips, nails digging into your skin as he goes even harder, pounding into you again and again, his sweet words contradicting his movements.
You can feel him, all of him and you’re sure that he’s never been this rough with you before but you definitely don’t hate it. You love that he doesn’t feel like he has to treat you like you’re fragile. Just because you’ve felt insecure in the bedroom before doesn’t mean that you don’t like it rough from time to time.
“That’s it, just like that,” Buck encourages as he watches you moan again and again. You buck your hips against his as your hands move up to his shoulders. He catches you off guard when his hands slide underneath you, maneuvering you so he can get even farther inside, and you whine, tears pricking your eyes again as you can practically feel him in your stomach. “Look at you. Taking all of me so well. Such a good girl for me.”
You know this is going to be the shortest you’ve ever lasted, but you can feel yourself getting progressively more tired as his thrusts get more intense. Your orgasm is approaching as your eyes start to get heavy.
He’s still going as you reach your peak, knowing that you don’t have any more in your, feeling your body getting lip. So as you’re coming down, getting progressively more tired as Buck pulls out, you don’t even have the energy to move when he starts to clean you up. You just lie there as he cleans himself up.
And when he comes back from disposing of the towel, he helps you get into the bed where he pulls you to him, bare skin against bare skin. He kisses you again and again as his fingers dance lazily along your back before you both eventually fall asleep in each other’s arms, thinking that you’re the luckiest people in the world to have each other.

do you think shen jiu is redeemable in Canon?
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: It really depends on what's meant by "redeemable" and what's meant by "canon."
Because while we don't know everything, we do at least see the conclusion of his story in canon, so we know that he does not find redemption, nor does he think it possible:
“Has Shidi ever considered that, if you hadn’t treated Luo Binghe like that in the beginning, everything that unfolded today never would have happened?” Shen Qingqiu burst into laughter. “Why does Zhangmen-shixiong say such ludicrous things? What’s happened has happened! I’ve already ‘considered’ it hundreds and thousands of times! There is no ‘if,’ no ‘in the beginning’—there was never any chance of redemption!” (Chapter 24, 7S)
Shen Jiu did what he did in canon, and even at the end of his life claims there is no redemption for himself and there never was.
Without significant canon divergence, Shen Jiu is not redeemable.
That doesn't mean that at times his actions aren't misunderstood or misrepresented, of course-- as we know, he didn't kill the men at Qiu Manor out of nowhere, and the accusations regarding his cold-blooded murder of Liu Qingge we also know to be false, since Shang Qinghua implies he tried to help-- even though his help didn't prevent Liu Qingge's death (and may have made the situation worse due to the animosity between them and Shen Jiu's own emotional instability-- though that's just headcanon). However, in regards to his treatment of Luo Binghe, there's really just no chance or way for him to be redeemed in the canon timeline.
And that brings me to another point-- my general dislike of the idea of villain "redemption."
It's way too nebulous of a term. What would constitute redemption for Shen Jiu? Never abusing children to begin with? He wouldn't need redemption then. Making things right later on? There's no real chance to, and even if he was given a chance, say, by Luo Binghe after he returned, Shen Jiu is the kind of person to double down, not to repent and apologize-- we already knows he views apologies as useless. What's done is done.
I am 100% convinced that Shen Jiu always knew in the back of his mind that, as long as Luo Binghe or any other victim survived, he would die by their hands. While the extent of the violence and torture he might not have expected, he was basically recreating his own childhood, putting himself into the role that Qiu Jianluo once held, and he knew very well how Qiu Jianluo ended.
Unlike some abusers, Shen Jiu does not have the delusion that he is a good person, or that his actions are good. He views himself as scum, so he acts like scum. He probably even thinks himself worse than he actually is-- no one hates Shen Jiu more than Shen Jiu himself. That's another thing that makes the idea of 'redemption' difficult for him-- because he knows he's in the wrong, and continues on that path anyway because he just doesn't see any other option.
So, what Shen Jiu would need is not so much redemption, but a paradigm shift. It would require rewriting his entire worldview, his perception of himself and his perception of others-- and that is very, very difficult, and especially difficult for someone who really doesn't think it's possible. Entrenched beliefs are entrenched for a reason, and a fully-established worldview is not easily changed, especially when it is so incredibly self-sabotaging.
However, let's just imagine for a moment that Shen Jiu actually did get the chance to heal, and that worldview gradually began to shift. I don't think he'd be the best teacher even then, but he at the very least might be able to keep from taking out his childhood trauma on the kids under his care. The difficult part would be getting him to the point where he actually had healed enough to facilitate that paradigm shift.
Basically, Shen Jiu first and foremost needs healing, not redemption or atonement. If he were able to heal, then he might not even need redemption to begin with, and without that healing nothing would change from the canon timeline. But at the same time, the circumstances of canon, along with Shen Jiu's own self-sabotaging viewpoint, do not provide a space for that necessary healing, thus, he can only be "redeemed" through canon divergence.
Shen Jiu is a product of his environment. As much as the choices he makes as a peak lord are his own, they are also shaped by his experiences. Without different experiences, he would never make different choices-- and so, Shen Jiu's fate in PIDW can never be changed.
There are many ways, however, that canon divergence might change things-- for example, my ongoing attempts at a Shen Jiu redemption/character development story in SVLPO where he returns from death and tries to change the future (it's really long, but if you haven't read it yet, it's basically a 400k word character study into Shen Jiu's psyche and will pretty much tell you how I feel about his worldview and how that affects any 'redemption arcs'), or fics in which Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan are different incarnations of the same person, and how Shen Yuan's kinder background enabled him to become a different, kinder person.
I think that there are plenty of ways that Shen Jiu might end up a better, less-tormented person, and that if the circumstances were right, it wouldn't necessarily be OOC-- and so if that's the true question here, then absolutely, yes, he can be redeemed.
Even the deepest wounds can heal, even the most deadly injuries can be recovered from-- the chance may be infintesimal, but it still exists.
In the end, that's what fic is for, isn't it?
#svsss#shen jiu#zhuixing svsss#i also feel like bingge is in a very similar situation#but that we actually *see* in SVSSS#bingmei's still got his issues but he is a *much* better person overall than his pidw counterpart

Hi, so I'm not really sure how to ask this idk, it feels very personal and maybe tmi, and I guess it depends on one's level of bottom dysphoria, but basically, do you (or anyone else who wants to share) have any advice or anything with how to cope with having to go through a physical exam for bottom stuff/ a pap smear for the first time?
I'm asking this as someone who has and always has had severe bottom dysphoria to the point that I've never done anything with those parts and literally never even touched myself. I've just lived painfully aware that I have that stuff but simultaneously pretending as much as possible that I don't. So just the thought of "having to" get that done, being touched there by someone etc, makes me sick and gives me anxiety and I just full on do not want to do that. Ever. But apparently I have to if I'm ever gonna get a hysto, which I really really want.
So now I just feel like it's lose/lose. Either I have to let someone touch me in a way that just thinking about me makes me sick, or I can never get a part of transition that I've been wanting forever since I was kid and learned about my anatomy.
And I just.. mentally, emotionally, physically in every way just really don't know how to deal with that.
I guess it's not that big of a deal for people who don't have bottom dysphoria or not that much of it, and honestly sometimes I feel kinda alone (and almost guilty? Like it's wrong somehow?) in how extremely uncomfortable I am with bottom stuff compared to how I've seen other people be chill with it, but yeah.. idk what to do or how to cope with this.
Don't feel bad about feeling bad -- I may like my dick, but that hole gives me panic attacks and I'm not looking forward to my own exam coming up soon. I worry every time that I am going to kick someone in the face by accident. :/
A pelvic exam/pap is not required to begin HRT, but you will need one for most hystos. Plus, it's just good preventative care. Also, if you are young enough, get your HPV vaccine (a 2 shot series, iirc) to help prevent cervical cancer.
Things that have helped me during gyn exams:
Take the entire day off, if you can. Have a treat set up for after your appointment.
Go with a friend, if possible. They may not be able to be with you in the exam room, but they can at least drive you and wait for you.
Be firm that this is hard for you and anything they can do to make it easier will be helpful.
Put your shirt back on after the breast exam. I don't take "no" for an answer here. Having an extra bit of clothing on makes me feel better.
Ask for the "pediatric" speculum -- it's smaller and won't hurt as bad. Insist on it.
Have something you can grip to take your focus off below.
If they want to do a sonogram, refuse the transvaginal one. Do it the old fashioned way, which will require drinking a lot of water. They can deal.
Don't be embarrassed if your self-care afterwards requires crying, or similar. This is an exhausting thing to do, no matter how brave a face you put on in the exam room. I usually just crawl back into bed to sleep it off.
Above all, never take comments like "just man up" or whatever from the medical team. If that happens, be mean back, or simply get up, get dressed, and leave. Find someone else if you have to.
Scripts I have used. Workshop your own and practice them:
"This is my first time. I'm worried this will be a very uncomfortable exam physically and emotionally for me and I would appreciate anything you can do to make it easier. It helps me if you explain everything as we go."
"I do not have penetrative sex, so would like to try the smallest speculum lubed up best you can."
"I am going to put my shirt back on. It will help me be calmer for the rest of the exam."
If they are rude: "You are being unkind and I will walk out of here and find another provider if this attitude continues."
If they insist on a transvag sonogram: "I will only do an external sonogram. We can schedule it another day for me to prep, or give me time to drink the necessary water." (This is hard, btw -- it is enough water to make you vomit.)
Do whatever mental larping you need to do to get through it all. It's important to psych yourself up so you can control as much as possible. Remember, you can stop things whenever you want. If they are mean, all bets are off.
If you're like me, it will suck, but please try not to put it off. But getting through it means you can tackle anything else related to transition, should you go that route. Seriously, if you can do this, you are fucking golden. Take care. <3
(Additional stories/advice are welcome from folks, being trans masc not required!)

☆9. finally another live☆
previous|masterlist|next


☆ warnings: not proof read please ignore mistakes. smut below the cut, rough sex, face fucking, back shots, unprotected sex (please use protection), cream pie, jerking off, hwa slaps reader one time, edging, cum swallowing, pet names (princess, baby, etc), degrading. let me know if I missed anything!
☆¡written part below! ☆
yunho doesn’t remember the last time he grabbed his laptop as fast as he did. even though hongjoong wasn’t home, he still made sure to lock his door before settling into bed.
he opened up the website. clicking on ur account just in time to see the live bubble pop up, immediately clicking it. the screen filling up with your body as you shifted on the bed waiting for a bit more people to join.
after about 5 minutes you finally decide to start the live, “hello my loves welcome to todays stream”you say softly as seonghwa comes up behind you. wrapping his arm around your throat lightly. “you know the rules, if you have a request make sure to send a tip to see it”you say in a singsong tone.
yunho felt the way his dick twitched at the sight of you. god he knew deep down that this was definitely so so wrong and he shouldn’t be watching this at all. but as he’s lecturing himself in his head, he hears the whimper come from the laptop.
hwa had slapped your cheek roughly for not listening. with the new angles the audience was finally able to see your mouth as you sucked him off. hollowing your cheeks and sucking like ur life depended on it. yunho finally decided to stop teasing himself and pulled his sweats down. finally taking himself into his hand spreading the precum all over, before pumping himself at a slow pace. he was determined to last as long as possible. but fuck the thought of having you’re lips wrapped around his dick was going to make it extremely hard.
after a bit hwa decided enough of your teasing, gripping your hair in his hands to keep you in place as he fucks your face hard. the sound of you gagging filling the speakers, eventually seeing the tear drops that ran down your cheek.
“you can take it can’t you pretty girl” seonghwa cooed in a lower tone, as you peered up at him with begging eyes. although there was no romantic attraction, seonghwa wouldnt deny the fact you looked so hot in that moment. his hips began to thrust at a messy pace as he panted.
“im gonna cum, and you’re going to take every last drop” he grunted out between thrust until his hips sputtered and his cum filled your throat, forcing you to swallow it all as he pulled out.
“that’s my good girl”
yunho was going insane. the way you simply took it so well was just amazing. he wished so badly it was him fucking your throat. not whatever random you had in stream. he wasn’t sure just how much longer he would last.
“m-more”you choked out as you crawled further onto the bed. laying on your stomach and arching your back. inviting seonghwa to do whatever he pleased.
he grabbed the camera and panned it over your bare back, moving your hair to show the fairy wing tattoo and the back dermals, closing in on your pretty lace thong.
“fuck you look so good. I love breaking you everytime doll.” he said in a cocky tone as he adjusted the camera to his point of view.
yunho’s eyes widened, as you’ve never done that view on a live stream before. he could genuinely imagine it was him fucking you.
“please sir. ruin me”you begged as he teased you over your underwear,the fabric wet from your slick.
yunho decided to send a donation, he wanted to hear you beg more than anything.
puppy1117 sent $100! make her beg til she’s sobbing for you to fuck her.
“ah ah not yet princess, beg for it” seonghwa teased as he continued to rub you up and down with his fingers.
“please sir, I need you so so badly. need you to ruin me til I can’t think”you begged backing onto his fingers, desperate to get more friction.
“not enough more” he’s pressed harder, going just a bit faster to try and push you over the edge.
“please sir i’ve been good. please fuck me stupid and fill me with your cum. I need it so bad please please”you pleaded tears brimming your eyes. you just wanted to feel good and have release.
god was the sound of you begging just music to yunho’s ears. the way you would get so whiny, voice cracking from the desperation. he had to hold himself back, teasing and edging himself. he needed to hear you fucked out and moaning like a mess.
“just a bit more princess” seonghwa cooed, grabbing your hair into a ponytail and yanking you back. “you can do better than that”
a whimpering escaped your lips as you feel the tears overflow, “fuck please sir I just wanna be a good slut wanna feel so so good. fuck me stupid please I beg of you”you sobbed out, genuinely frustrated and needy for release.
without a warning, seonghwa slipped your panties the side and thrusted into you. a loud and breathy moan escaping your lips at the sudden intrusion.
“oh fuck yes”you panted eyes rolling back, as he began to thrust into you at rough pace. yanking your head back with every thrust
“oh princess you feel so good”he whined out and he adjusted your position to take him even deeper. hitting that sensitive spongey part that had you seeing stars.
whines escaped one after the other, and yunho was having a hard time keeping it in any longer. he made the decision to stop, taking his hand and resting it on his thigh. the head of his cock red and aching for release.
but he decided to sit and watch just for a moment. taking in the way your body looked wet and sticky from the sweat and slick mixing together.
“s-sir p-please I-i’m close” you whined as seonghwa started to thrust harder and harder.
and in that moment the donations came flooding in. each comment in the same page if letting you finish since you had taken instructions so well.
“im close too baby. you ready for me to fill you up?” hwa grunted as his thrust get messy once more
“yes please fill me up sir”you begged, not able ti think straight what so ever. all you cared about was him finishing in you. and you getting release.
that is when yunho started up again. pumping himself to the fast and rough pace as seonghwa.
“come baby”
and you let go, pleasure taking over every single one of your senses. you’re vision going blurry as your body shook in pleasure. every strangled moan and whimper making its way out.
yunho couldn’t handle it anymore, pumping himself one last time as he cummed all over his stomach and hand. god what the fuck were you doing to him?
especially because he never would’ve expected doing what he did next.

Hi! I went feral with the latest ask of the boys not being able to make the reader cum, so let's inflate their egos a little:
How about reader with a bad experience in sexual encounters? Like faking orgasms with their previous partners cuz they weren't able to make her cum, the sex for the reader doesn't bring her pleasure cuz it never felt good for her part or it was just man-focused ykwim. Reader just thinks is because low libido or that something's wrong with her, but when the boys (separately) find out and get their hands to work it's like boom, k.o. HAHAHAHA dean would put like a certificate on a wall for being the first man on earth to please reader properly I'm sure about it
In other news, just read the prologue of your latest work! Definetely gonna keep up, so good istg, take care bae, glad you're here doing amazing things🤸🏼♀️💕
You lovelies just keep outdoing yourselves! ❤️I love this one as well as your last one! Chef's kiss!
I feel like Dean wouldn't say anything in the moment. He'd let her fake it, just to make sure he knows what the situation is, and then after, when they're both lying next to each other, catching their breath, he'd turn to her with one of those charming grins, and go: "So, we gonna try that again for real?"
There'd be some stuttering on her part, but Dean's been around the block often enough to know the real ones from the fake ones. He'd let it rest for the moment, but the next time the two of them get busy and she's urging him to fuck her, Dean's taking a detour down Thigh Highway right to the Valley of Sin - his words. And to town he goes, going for every trick in the book. Because something's bound to work, right?
And of course it does. Because Dean's a trier. And he always gets the job done. (Hence the certificate on the wall you mentioned 😄).
Now Sam's a different matter. He stops when he can tell she's not having a great time. He stops, checks in and she might try to convince him that everything's a-ok (and genuinely believe it because of her past experiences), but Sam's not having it. He stops and wants to talk, cause that's the kind of guy he is. Depending on how willing you are to talk about what's really going on, Sam will either postpone sexy times to some other day and cuddle up (see, there's some similarities to the last one, I just want Sam cuddles), or slowly start things up again - and I mean slow. This feels good? Alright, how about this?
By the end of it, you're probably so close to bursting that all it takes is for Sam to blow on you - figuratively. Kind of. And to be very clear, he hasn't even entered you at that point. But don't worry. You're getting to that. Post haste. Cause you know what's better than one?
Two. 😉
Aaah, this was so fun! How did I do? 😄

Just Dance songs I think the drama kids would kill
Bear in mind, I haven’t really played Just Dance in years - we lost the disc while moving house, still have the case - so I just kinda looked up songs on YouTube or went off what I remember dancing along to.
Mainly for my very dear friend and mutual @onyx-plutos-moon. By all means please correct me or add to this, I crave your expertise! <3
Solos
Kevin: Bad Romance by Lady Gaga (extreme) as suggested by Onyx - rewatched it and he is absolutely right, this is the type of thing Kevin pulls out with some kinda “I’m a little rusty, I don’t think I remember this one” comment first and then flawlessly executes the entire thing - or Butter by BTS (extreme)
Caitlyn: Primadonna by Marina & the Diamonds or Applause by Lady Gaga (either normal or extreme) or Circus by Britney Spears (extreme)
Josie: Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez or Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) by ABBA
Trevor: Rasputin by Boney M or Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley - he’s not sorry
Duos
Kevin and Josie: You’re the One That I Want from Grease or Want to Want Me by Jason Derulo (couple version) - again suggested by Onyx, can’t imagine how Josie manages to twirl him because he’s almost 7’0 but good luck to her
Kevin and Caitlyn: Timber by Pitbull ft. Kesha or Worth It by Fifth Harmony (mashup) or Cake By the Ocean by DNCE (earphones version) - they definitely do this with actual earphones and get tangled up at some point
Kevin and Trevor: 24K Magic by Bruno Mars or Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas
Josie and Caitlyn: SOS by ABBA or California Gurls by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg
Josie and Trevor: September by Earth, Wind & Fire or Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
Caitlyn and Trevor: Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen or C’mon by Kesha
Group
I couldn’t pick so have all the ones that came to mind:
Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Mamma Mia by ABBA
This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Crucified by Army of Lovers
Random headcanons
If they finish rehearsals early, Miss Mulberry lets them put on YouTube videos of the dances
Trev once did Rasputin and caught the attention of Pete and Grace, as they help out with the show and were around. Needless to say, dancing was quickly replaced with a history lesson/why the song is inaccurate and why women in history deserve to have their stories told
They now refuse to play until everyone who isn’t them has left the building, so there can be no interruptions
They, and by they I mean Caitlyn, wouldn’t let Ruth play if lives depended on it
Miss Mulberry also once made the mistake in saying it could be a competition and the winner could have a piece of candy from her prize box
There was so many fights that day…
All of them had at least one game of Just Dance growing up, except Caitlyn - she only ever played it at school or at friends’ houses
Josie had Just Dance 4; Kevin has all of the main series; and Trevor has 2014, 2017 and 2020
Kev is insanely competitive and a sore winner/loser, meanwhile everyone else is just playing to have fun and dance
He’s also a huge show off
Kev and Cait have a favourite kind of song and it’s anything that flatters their egos
They’re very, very confident in themselves and we love to see that #self love
Rudolph is god awful at dancing, so he doesn’t join in but will happily support Trevor from the sidelines
Brooke, however, is an exceptional dancer but has never really played/learned the dances for the games
She eggs on Kevin’s competitive ass for fun and chaos
Josie literally only knows a handful of non-musical songs. 9.8 times out of 10 she is going into these completely blind and expecting herself to pick up the melody, the choreography and the lyrics first try
Trev loses at least one shoe every time they play. There’s one stuck in the catwalk above the school auditorium, they haven’t been able to get it down so it’s still there
Cait thinks the guide is just a suggestion
Half of her additional or replacement choreography is just hair work
Josie thinks she needs to fully preform every time. She’ll sing along, give herself a character, maybe some dialogue if there’s an instrumental part of the song
Has definitely fainted upon burning up so much energy subsequently
It’s to the point now that the others can almost spot when she’s about to go. Kev picks her up so fucking gently and sits her down
The others happily perform with her
Kev almost exclusively does all the expert dances when playing solo
Josie’s siblings had Just Dance when she was younger, but she rarely got to play. Too busy having to care for them and the house. (And when she did, she never got a controller, so has no idea how good or bad she is). The songs on there are all really nostalgic and great tunes in general but can also be traumatic and tinged with bitterness
Josie’s just there sobbing while Call You Maybe plays
Trev only started doing Never Gonna Give You Up to rickroll the others but actually fell in love with the dance and is genuinely just wanting to play it all the time
Regular fights about what colour controller everyone is
Yes, they are that family
“We are that family in the neighbourhood that like, you wanna keep a wide berth when you walk past. Like, that’s this whole crew!”
“We’re the family, where if you’re in a car and they’re playing in the street, you speed up.”
— Courtney and Tommy in Smosh Plays Athletic Summer Games During Summer, 27:17

Do you have any first realm headcanons?
YES‼️‼️ THANK YOU FOR THIS QUESTION THIS IS LIKE.. AAAAA
fun fact about me: before i was obsessed with oni, i was obsessed with the first realm
the first realm has many different names among its inhabitants. the oni call it 'Kurokato', meaning 'black sun land'... They're not the most creative bunch. The dragons aren't much better, as they simply refer to it as 'first land'. The humans have many different names for the first realm depending upon where they live, such as 'Shoriku' or 'Akairiku'
the first realm is HUGE. its unfathomably large, and just the desert that the ninja were in during hunted was about twice the size of ninjago. it has many biomes, huge mountain ranges, jungles, fields, snow covered landscapes, one with mushrooms rather than trees, large plains, cliffs, and beaches.
most rivers and oceans have invisible bioluminescent algae, making them glow at night. the desert tends to be the only exception, as its too hot and dry for the algae to thrive
oni are more commonly found in the mountainous and snowy regions of the first realm, but they do inhabit their conquered territories to protect it from invasion. honestly i could make a whole separate post for all of my oni culture headcanons
yōkai naturally inhabit the first realm, along with a multitude of other strange creatures
despite the first realm being the oldest of the realms, it is rather primitive compared to places like imperium and ninjago. it seems to be perpetually stuck in the 17th century technology wise
the first realm, along with the never realm, was one of the last realms to integrate with the rest of the realms. they still are naturally a bit of an isolated place, but they aren't territorial anymore. they only recently began to export their realm exclusive goods
the first realm celebrates setsubun realm-wide! most people of the first realm who live in other realms will use this as an excuse to come home so they can celebrate with their families.
when the oni mysteriously disappeared, many different species and clans moved into their old territories after the miasma had faded away
DRs3 spoilers below the cut
Where Thunderfang was imprisoned, deep below the First Realm, is a region known as Yomi. Only souls banished there can enter it, but only once, because after they can never leave. Rox and the rest of the F5 were only able to enter Yomi due to them being corrupted by Thunderfang, and therefore being able to bypass the system. they were like detached parts of Thunderfang, they had separate souls to him, but their souls contained loads of his essence... it's very complicated 😅 it's also where the mother of oni, Izanami, is imprisoned, though she can never leave nor be physically accessed by a living soul
dragonians, despite being TERRIFIED of oni, are very friendly with the notoriously shy devonians! devonians and dragonians often co-exist in the same villages, and a few rare hybrids have been born.

why does it feel like sometimes Kazuma's themes could just be from the perpective of Ryunosuke? which is interesting considering the line Kazuma says, "i'm not the one who's changed Ryunosuke, you have."
Kazuma's first theme sounds like a downright heroic folk hero, someone you look up too and can depend on. the meter is focused and stays on point, every individual instrument waits for their perfect intervals. the bass instrument keeping them all steady. then an arpeggio comes and the original melody instrument stands aside and only plays as an accompaniment before coming back as lead with fanfare playing as it leads back to the main melody. there are a lot of japanese instruments in the song which go away in later themes. there is a kagura-suzu which is japanese bell! i really like it's sound!!!
in Nocturne, instruments are overlapping more but are quieter for the main melody which i think is the koto. it's no longer so steady, the bass is gone and i interpret the bass with his life/passion. no longer feels like a force always by your side more like a tun playing in your mind. the determined and steadfast arpeggio is gone and never comes back. and there are these contemplative plucking violin(?) strings in the middle section. they give me of the feeling of reminiscing. i feel like the last part before it repeats is Ryunosuke remembering all of the good times they've had, and then once it repeats that's him remembering he's gone. in this theme, all the other instruments take a real backseat to the main one. it's Ryunosuke remembering the best part of him, his main melody so to speak. the Kagura-suzu is still here. In His Glorious Return, it starts out like a very triumphant and yearned for version of samurai on a mission (if that makes sense) until the brass section rests and it becomes almost exactly like Nocturne, something i find extremely interesting because of that part where susato was talking to kazuma in the departed soul scene, ryunosuke was looking towards the ground lost in thought around the same time this part plays i believe? it's almost as if he's remembering all the times he's grieved him.... thus the nocturne version playing. the Kagura-suzu is now gone :( it is now "replaced" with snapping. A prosecutor reborn, oh my god a prosecutor reborn, if it didn't have the same melody i almost wouldn't be able to tell it's the same character. most of his original japanese instruments are gone, and have been replaced with ones that are more associated with britain's characters. almost as if he seems more alien to Ryunouske. he borrows several instrument's from barok van ziek's theme, like the violin, and harpsichord. and yeah, the harpsichord absolutely haunts this song. it's EVERYWHERE. someone told me once the harpsichord represents the professor, so that's FUN. it's not like the professor absolutely haunts this guys life (,:'D) i think the only thing he keeps is his bass which is used way more sparingly than it is in SOAM. and interestingly, the kagura-suzu is back, but it is only used like twice i think. (☹️), its still kinda replaced with the snapping The opening almost sounds like an unveiling, as if seeing the man for first time and he's utterly terrifying. and then it jumps straight into this unfamiliar melody not heard anywhere in any of his other themes. it's reminiscent of barok van ziek's theme. ...because Ryunosuke barely recognizes him. he's nothing like who he's known... right? and it just keeps getting grander and grander! it then comes back to this more familiar part kazuma's iconic motif, but the notes are now in legato, and the melody's been changed by one note, and though it's only one it is NOTICEABLE. it distracts from how everything else about that section was so familiar. (when i first heard it i was actually taken aback)
now for the part that i'm crazy about THE MIDDLE SECTION HAS THE GATEWAY TO THE TRUTH THEME WHICH IS THE SAMD MOTIF THAT PLAYS IN THE PROFESSOR THEME! IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM BACK TO BACK YOU'LL HEAR THEM! Kazuma could've BEEN the professor if he didn't turn his heel and left! if he had killed gregson in pursuit of his mission, he could've become that! and the fact that motif is in this song is so important in showing that. just WOW. this song is Ryunouske finally seeing a different side to kazuma. him in his grief and rage, him at his 'worst' it's quite unlike how ryunosuke sees him in nocturne where it seems he is remembering only the absolute best parts about him like it's so easy to do when in grief.
listening to his themes with all that in mind has been a tear-filled hell for me, but it's always how i've thought of it basically.
#ace attorney#the great ace attorney#dgs spoilers#kazuma asogi#ryunosuke naruhodo#dgs2 spoilers#dgs#long post#i have a lot of thoughts about this apparently.#kazuma and ryunosuke in 2-4 and 2-5 be like “I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE!” (if youdunno the ref search up trapped in the drivethru)#this game has the most theatrical soundtrack ive seen in ace attorney with leitmotifs and specific instruments dedicated to characters.#it's a big deal when a characters sound dramatically changes like this!!#btw did you know a bit of ryunosuke's theme is present as a motif in susato's serenade theme! that's REALLY COOL RIGHT?!?#my days of watching music theory videos and being a epic the musical fan have trained me for this!!!#also just wanna say#knowing now that mikotoba is a master tapdancer i subscribe to the belief the entire song “Omen” is just him tapdancing ominously while#sholmes play the violin twice as ominously.#and that mental image does wonders for my life.#also kinda ironic that a guy who hates barok so much made his theme sound just like his.#ALSO LOVE THE FACT A PROSECUTOR#REBORN PLAYS AS A OBJECTION THEME#THATS SO COOL!!!!

🔞⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️🔞

Story stared: 01.02.2023.
Story ended: Still ongoing~
-Hungarian Shinobi
DISCLAIMER (MUST READ!!)
This short disclaimer is as important as the story will be itself, so please don't skip, read!
The most important thing:
NO MINORS! Or at least no minors who are not mature enough for such explicit content I am going to write in this story. So if you are under at least 18, read at your own risk! I'm not a sensitive, merciful person when it comes to mature content! So seriously if you are uncomfortable with themes like very detailed smuts/lemons, violence, kissing or whatsoever I suggest you to leave right now... And don't blame me if you've read further. I don't take responsibility for losing your innocence (if it still exists) Always remember that I warned you ✌️
Okay, let's start...
As in my other stories, I would like to thank you for clicking on my book and giving it a chance! It really means a lot to me ❤️
What I give in exchange for clicking on my story is nice adventure! Something that my crazy mind created...
Those who have read any of my other stories know what kind of writing style I have, but for those who are new, I'm going to tell a few things:
• I usually write 2000 words per chapter. However there are times when I make it a bit longer if there is a lot happening according to the plot. I think 2000 words for a chapter is the most comfortable to both write and read.
• I am a merciless person when it comes to cliffhangers so bear with me. But also I am quite a fast updater so perhaps you wouldn't want to murder me after every single chapter. Haha 😅 I always update as much as I can and as much as my free time lets me, but there are times when I'm so into writing that I might publish two, three or four new chapters in a week. It depends on my free time as I said.
• Speaking of which... Yes I do write in my free time just like most of the fellow fanfiction writers here. I have a life, a family with two kids, so please be patient and don't ask for an update when I just updated. Many readers begun to annoy me with messages and comments to update like ImMEdIAteLy. If you do that, you will earn a muting badge from me so you won't be able to comment anymore. 😘 (Of course badly waiting for it is something else, but I'm not going to force myself to write if I don't have time or if I'm not in the mood)
• I LOVE drama, fluff, angst and dirty minded scenarios. I honestly live for these kind of themes so prepare for an absolutely nice adventure if you are as rotten as me when it comes to mature content ✨
• Yes the story will contain smut. (How could I not include any in it ತ‿ʖತ) I know that somewhere deep you all seek for quality smuts just like me... That's why that those chapters will definitely be longer than my usual 2000 words. Yes you read it right 😌 if you don't believe me, peek into one of my latest stories for proof.
• I won't always put a warning before the chapters, because sometimes I forget about it. Oh and be sure to get the whole world's holy water for yourself. (Honestly I think it's going to be useless. We are all going to rot in hell for liking these kind of books but if all the hot 2d men are waiting for us there who cares 🤷♀️)
• Also I am very cruel because I try to describe feelings as detailed as possible. This is both true to happy and sad feelings. Make sure to always have ice cream in your freezer. If you don't have any, come back here, I am giving them away for free. Extra popcorn is free as well. Choose to your liking: 🍧🍨🍦, 🍿🍿
• I do love plot twists and make my readers confused or fool them with these twists so be prepared 😈 not a joke!
• There will be an age gap between (y/n) and our daddy Fushiguro Toji, so reader will be in her 20s while Toji will be in his early 30s.
• This is just a fanfiction whereas anything can be possible and I am the boss. So don't take it personal or too seriously. Why not play with imagination? 👀
Things I appreciate:
💟 I love any kinds of feedback. Let it be comments, votes or messages. It makes me want to write more and update more frequently to satisfy your needs. So if you have anything to say, feel free to do it! I always appreciate it! (No nugging about new updates please...)
💟 If you have any fantasies in your mind you want to see throughnout the story tell me! There are no limits. (If you knew how dirty my mind is you would run away I swear)
A few more things that are important:
° My first language is not English so I apologize for any kind of grammar mistakes, I try my best. (Typos don't count)
° I'm not going to follow the anime's, manga's timeline since this is a fanfiction, I mean, there will be a few things included to bring life to my book and be close to the world and the characters from Jujutsu kaisen, but this is a fanfiction where I am the boss 😎
° You may also find me on Archive of our own (Ao3) and Wattpad
https://archiveofourown.org/users/HungarianShinobi
° I do not own the anime/manga, nor the characters. They all belong to the dear creator, Gege Akutami.
° This fanfiction was created for fun.
° I do not own any of the pictures and fanarts I put inside the story unless I say so.
° I only own the storyline and a few ocs here and there throughnout the story.

Chapter 1:
Author's note: if you haven't read the Disclaimer, kindly go back and do. According to the story it's important! Thank you!
(y/n)'s POV:
"Are you sure about this, honey?" My mom asked me, concerned or rather worried about the plan I am about to implement. Moving out from this small village and go live in the capital of Japan that is.
I smiled back at her. "Yes. My best friend is going to be in the town as well. I will be fine, don't worry."
Tears begun to form in her eyes and small, soft hands cupped both sides of my cheek. My mom was the only person in my life next to my best friend who wanted the best for me. Even if it hurt her to let me go. But I was an adult and this village can't provide the life I want for myself. And I can't stay with her forever.
My dad? He left us when I was a kid. He met a younger woman than my mom, 'fell in love' and one day, he was gone.
My mom tried to cover her sadness by smiling all the time. During nights I heard her crying her heart out countless times however for a very long time.
She was so in love with my father, but due to pregnancy she gained a bit of weight which she couldn't get rid of no matter what diet she did, or what sport she tried to make a progress. Because of that, I heard my parents arguing quite often. My dad even yelled into her face that she is disgusting and he cannot bring himself to touch her anymore.
Many ugly words, humiliating, yet my mom's heart still belonged to him. Till this day, she couldn't move on. She didn't tell me, but I knew it.
Ever since my dad left, he never showed up again, not that he ever cared for me or paid attention to me. It was never him, rather my loving and caring mother. Though I don't remember him too much.
I felt blessed for having her in my life... really...
I've been raised within poor conditions. My mom could barely pay for rent in the first few months after we were left behind. She took multiple jobs to provide for me, cooked my favourite meals when she had the chance even if she barely had money for it, baked a cake for my birthday every year but most of all...
...gave all her love to me. She was the best mom in the world I could ever wish for.
"You know I will always be worried for you even though you became such a beautiful, grown woman. You will always be my sweet little girl." She blinked, tears streaming down her face.
"I know... I am prepared. I didn't learn for so long without a reason." I reassured her, grabbing her hands in mine.
She nodded. We talked about this for a very long time yet it's painful to let go of each other.
"Remember to call me once you arrived, okay?" She requested, pulling me in for one last hug before helping me get on the train which is soon going to depart.
I took my ticket out of my pocket to take a look at my seat number. Once I found it I grabbed my suitcase and after a few minutes of struggle I managed to put it on the luggage rack above my head. Then I sat down, looking out the window to search for my mom.
We waved for each other until she was out of my sight, my smile fading away soon, causing me to sigh. I knew I always wanted this, but it still made me sad. The thought that I won't see her every single day as I did until now will be strange and unusual. There's no other choice but to get used to it. We will keep in contact though.
"Tickets please." The conductor showed up out of nowhere. Or perhaps I was too deep in my thoughts to notice him.
Nevertheless I gave him my ticket, which he checked, eventually giving it back to me. "Thank you." I said.
"Have a nice trip miss." Then he left, leaving me alone.
There were still a few people walking by, searching for their seats, some of them even arguing about who would sit next to the window.
Since my journey is going to be quite long, I brought a book with myself to read and pass time. Taking it out of my bag I stopped midway, because a group of young men entered the wagon.
They were speaking and laughing loudly in a disturbing way. They didn't care about anyone or anything. Typical troublemakers.
"Man, where's our fucking seat? We walked through the entire shitty train." One of them complained.
"I don't know dude. Look, number 73... 74... It should be here." The other replied.
I avoided eye contact with them as much as possible, rather pretending to be busy. I was praying internally, hoping their seat is not next to mine. But there's three of them, and there's one empty seat beside me, two other on the opposing side. Please no...
"Yeah yeah, there it is." The third pointed towards me. From the corner of my eyes I saw them nearing me. "Would you look at that? What a pretty company we're going to have heh."
Oh god no...
I kept staring out of the window however, showing a straight face. I should either pretend I'm deaf or pretend I don't speak the language.
"Whose this huge ass suitcase is? It's in the fucking way. I can't put mine up here." One of them complained. "Imma just put it in front of the toilet. Who cares?" He laughed, his friends agreeing with him.
They were speaking about my suitcase and the guy grabbed it, taking it out from where I put it to the luggage rack. "Just drop it out somewhere."
I couldn't let them do this to my stuff, so timidly I spoke up. "Excuse me... That's mine. Put it back, please."
He raised a brow at me, his friends also turning their attention on me. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know it's yours. I will put it back." He smirked.
"Thank y-"
It was too easy to be true. And I was right, because he didn't finish his sentence. "For a kiss, baby."
I gasped. "No... Just put it back please." Standing up from my seat I grabbed it in an attempt to put it back myself since he certainly didn't plan to do it.
"Wow look guys, she's rich." Turning over my shoulder I saw one of them opening my purse and taking out my money.
"Hey!" I reached for it, but he raised his hand high in the air so I wouldn't be able reach it. "That's mine. What are you doing?"
"Man we can go to a five star hotel for a week with this amount with all the extra shit." They laughed, grinning at each other. "Let's bring this pretty girl with ourselves as well heh."
"Bet she's a virgin. Look how innocent she is." The middle one licked his lips.
I wanted to puke from their behaviour, but for now all I wanted was to get my stuff back from them.
"Give it back you idiots!" I glared at them, punching the guy who stole my money.
"Aw look at that." The one who took off my suitcase from the luggage rack took a step towards me, grabbing my arm. "What's wrong gorgeous? We just wanna have fun with you."
It was a bad idea to come entirely alone... Maybe I should have let my mom escort me. But then she would have had to travel back all alone as well...
Just when I thought that I can't get out of this, a stranger came to my aid, pulling the guy off me by his collar who grabbed me. "You just disturbed my sleep." He said.
"Who the fuck are you? Mind your own business." He spat at the stranger.
The man didn't seem to be in a good mood and within a second the harasser was on the ground, spitting out his teeth. The other two flinched and tried to attack the stranger who was quick to wipe them out of his way as well.
"Hey." He turned to me. "You okay?" He asked in a bored, sleepy tone. He noticed that one of the guys was holding my money in his hand, so he bent down and snatched it, standing up straight right after. "Is this yours?"
"Yes... They stole it and wanted to throw my suitcase in front of the toilet." I told him.
The tall man handed my money back to me, grabbed my suitcase and put it back where it was previously, not caring the slightest that he stepped on the harassers in the process.
The first guy who he knocked out slowly stood up, about to land a punch on my savior. "Watch out!" I warned him and he quickly grabbed his fist.
There was a scary grin on his face. "Didn't you lose enough tooth? Want me to break your bones too?"
"Just fucking get out of here man!" The other two stood up as well and pulled their friend away with themselves.
I watched them practically running away from the scene and into the other wagon.
The black haired man rubbed his neck with closed eyes, eventually looking at me, causing me to flinch by the sudden attention.
I opened my mouth to speak, words coming out in a stutter. "T-thank you. I don't know what-"
"No need to thank me, just stay silent and let me sleep." He grunted and plopped down on the seat on the opposing side, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
I gulped down my answer. Though he helped me with those assholes, but I didn't want to upset him with unnecessary talking, so I rather sat back down on my own seat, putting my money back in my purse and taking out the book I wanted to read earlier before those scumbags came.
Flipping a few pages I stopped reading, glancing up at the man in front of me. He was snoring slightly, a sign that he was asleep. Unlike when he took care of my harassers, he had such a peaceful and innocent look on his face. There was a small detail I didn't notice on him until now. He had a scar on the corner of his lips on the right side, making me wonder how did he get that.
He requested me to stay silent and don't bother him, so I rather sticked to that, continuing to read my book.
After like 2 hours I almost finished it, sleepiness taking over me so much that I yawned all the time from that point. I would get off the train at the terminus, so I decided to do the same thing as the man in front of me, falling asleep eventually.
It wasn't as comfortable as a bed would be, but it was better than nothing. There was still 1 more hour left to arrive to Tokyo anyway. And I guess I won't get too much sleep today. Knowing my best friend she will want to go out somewhere or we would probably talk throughnout the night. We didn't meet each other for a long time and talking in person is different than in texts or a video call.
I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder. "Miss, miss. Wake up. We have arrived to Tokyo." Cracking my eyes open I expected my savior to wake me up, but to my surprise he wasn't on the train anymore. It was the conductor who woke me up.
"Ah. Thank you for waking me up." He nodded, smiling kindly and left.
I stretched, planning to grab my suitcase from the luggage rack. However it was on the ground already. It was either the stranger or the conductor who took it off for me. Who knows.
I didn't know that either that moving to Tokyo going to change everything in my life as well. Yet...
A life full of crimes and danger because of him... A life full of sin and... lust...

(Have you ever wished that the tieflings of BG3 were romancable? Me too. Let's fix this.)
Current Development Scope: This fan-made visual novel dating simulator reimagines the memorable night of the tiefling party at camp during Act 1 (just after saving the refugees from the goblins and Kagha). The short game features romance routes for Zevlor, Rolan, and Dammon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weekly Development Updates (Links)
#1 (Coming on Sunday...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
F.A.Q.
Q: What's the gameplay like?
(This answer may change in the future!) There will be 3 romance routes to play, each with its own ending. There are many dialogue choices to make, but they are mainly for flavor, personalization, and storytelling as opposed to a 'good ending' vs a 'bad ending'.
Q: What is the player character/Tav like?
At the beginning of the game, like in BG3's character creator, you get to choose your Tav's name, pronouns, class, background, and race. During your gameplay, there may be other options where you'll be able to further 'customize' your character, although there is no visual player character.
Q: How 'spicy' will the romance be?
It's hard to tell right now. For example, there is at least one pretty spicy scene has already been written, but it may not fully make the cut into the final game depending on what the spice 'cap' ends up being. If you have some opinions on the spice level (explicitness in words and/or graphics) of the romance scenes, let me know because I'd love to hear some opinions before I make a decision!
Q: Where can I learn more about this/stay updated?
I'm only on Tumblr dot com right now, so follow me if you want regular updates on the game's development! I'm aiming to post weekly updates at the beginning of each week.
Q: Where will the game be available to play/download?
This game will be on itch.io when it's released!
Q: How long is the game?
The current goal is for the game to be around 30,000 words and/or about an hour in average play time. This could change and be variable depending on player choices!
Q: When will this game be finished and ready to play?
I really don't know! I've never fully finished developing a game before, and I have a full-time job that takes up most of my daily focus, so I won't be announcing an expected release date until I'm very close to finished.
If you have any other questions or just want to be weird about these characters with me, my ask box is open!

Benjamin chuckled, somehow able to picture them scaling the side of a manor like mountain climbers. "All right, so I suppose noble wasn't the best word," he agreed, "but I still would've paid handsomely to see you both in action. Perhaps tonight...?" Here, he gestured toward the library window, which gave way to a terrace on the outside. Lips quirking into a challenging grin, he amended, "But then again, what would the outcome be in such a feat? It isn't as if there's anything to prove, other than you are such a bold, reckless woman. Because that was the impression you were trying to convince me of, yes?"
Belle's skepticism was merited. Mulling it over, he allowed, "All right, so I suppose using the word 'all' was foolish of me, because obviously, not all men can adore the brash and daring types. It's just, where I grew up, the menfolk tend to like a bit of a challenge." He chuckled. "As it stands, I'd be curious to see a rifle in your hands. The recoil alone would probably drop you clear onto your bottom."
Belle mirrored his grin, appearing equally amused by his own claims for misadventure. “You broke a window? Not with your fists, I hope. I image that would make quite the mess."
"The mess is what you care about? I'll remember that," Benjamin teased. Waving a hand, he assured her, "But no, I didn't break them with my fists. A dear friend and I decided it would be a bright idea to start throwing rocks at windows. Long story short, it was not a good idea at all, but we at least had fun doing it...for a time."
“She does not hold disdain for men, I assure you. It is distrust she holds for them."
Despite the innocence in such a statement, Benjamin momentarily froze. How would Emma feel, he wondered, once she found out the truth about him? How would Belle?
The thought sank heavily within his stomach like a rock, bringing a sour, searing wince across his face that he quickly blinked it away. "She's right," Benjamin softly offered. About everything. "I wouldn't say I didn't take her seriously at the start -- she's quite intelligent -- but I can see how a man might take offense to being bested."
Belle's head jerked up, and once her face warmed in disbelief, and her eyes darted between his own and the floor, it became clear he'd potentially overstepped. Damnation, why was he so poor at this? Why could he never speak his heart without leaving equal parts damage?
Before he could think to apologize, she took a cautious step toward him, her hands fidgeting as she offered, “I suppose it would depend on what level of interest the gentleman had. If it is a fleeting infatuation, then I would certainly advise him not to act brashly. And I would kindly remind him that if I am to partake in a courtship, I would wish for it to be genuine. That, ideally, it would end in marriage and, in time, a family.”
A family...
Benjamin's heart soared at such a thought, but it was just as quick to dash against the proverbial rocks, scraped and bloodied once he realized that no, no, of course he couldn't -- his infatuation would likely last forever, but they couldn't be wed because of the obvious. It would be a cruelty, were he to pursue.
Belle took a long moment to compose herself. Her gaze remained on the ground a moment longer, but then she looked up and nailed him in place with those bright, all-encompassing eyes. “I believe I would advise him to make his interest known. Because I think I would be quite interested as well. In a courtship, I mean. With the gentleman.”
"Belle..." The sudden heat in his face made his knees wobble, and in an act that would likely be his undoing, Benjamin lifted a hand and gently cupped her cheek, his thumb tracing the corner of her mouth as his gaze remained riveted on her face. Oh, he had surely damned himself...so why could he not bring himself to regret this misstep?
Before another word could be spoken, the double doors to the library burst open, and a tipsy couple stumbled in over the threshold, giggling and whispering with clear intent before they realized they were no longer alone.
On instinct, Benjamin grabbed Belle and pressed her up against the nearest bookshelf, hiding her face against his chest, and curling his fingers through her hair, seeking to protect her identity from any potential shame.
"Oh...sorry," the male newcomer said, snickering as his female companion started giggling again. "Guess we'll go find a different library to peruse. Carry on then!"
After a moment, the doors clicked shut, but Benjamin remained stock-still, breathing hard and holding Belle against him with firm resolve. Closing his eyes, he brushed his lips against her hair and pressed a soft, lingering kiss to her brow, seeking to apologize since the words could no longer formulate.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Belle snorted, raising her hand to her mouth as an amused chuckle bubbled from her lips. “I’m not sure anyone would consider two ladies scaling the side of a manor to be noble, but I appreciate the thought. I nearly twisted my ankle climbing the trellises. The damned man just had to have his study on the third floor.” Shaking her head, Belle let the thought go. The trio had been lucky that night. With the Earl out of his house and his house staff oblivious enough to the trespassers, the mission had been successful. But Belle wasn't ignorant to the fact that such a thing could've gone horribly wrong.
“Would they?" She rose her eyebrows and offered him a pointed stare. "Because from what Emma says about American men, they are just as scared of strong women here as they are in England. Granted, I merely assumed it was a flaw in the sex rather than the origin, but perhaps I was wrong."
Listening to him recount tales of his disorderly conduct, Belle couldn't help but grin. It was hard to imagine the well-spoken and charming man that stood before her could be capable of causing any sort of scene, but she supposed it wasn't impossible. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that hardly knew John, and, in the grand scheme of things, they were practically strangers. They had not grown up together like she and Emma, nor had they been friends for years like she and Dunford. Even so, Belle couldn't deny the connection she felt with him.
“You broke a window? Not with your fists, I hope. I image that would make quite the mess." Belle tried to picture what the scene might've looked like. She'd seen her brother drunken and disorderly a handful of times, but even then Ned was purely clumsy with his words and money.
“I wouldn’t hurt a fly without good cause, at least. The same can be said for my attitude towards men. But, fortunately, I do not wish for you to shake in your boots in my presence. Slight apprehension of angering me would suffice. Thankfully, I do not envision you being on the receiving end of my ire any time soon. And that is not a challenge.”
“She does not hold disdain for men, I assure you. It is distrust she holds for them. As do most of them towards her. Most people think her weak and incapable of business merely because of the body she was born in. If she were a man, no one would question her dreams. Her brashness… it’s a defense mechanism of sorts. Like a porcupine. If she’s bristly and off putting enough from the get go, then it’s harder to hurt her. Not impossible, mind you, but certainly harder.
“You didn’t hear it from me, but Uncle John and Mama have both been hoping she finds a nice English gentleman to marry. It’s why he sponsors her to partake in the social seasons every now and again. Of course, under the guise of visiting family. I can only imagine before long, theyll grow impatient and arrange something for her. She’s quite determined to commit to the bit.
“What?” Belle’s head shot up at his question. From all she had gathered, Emma had taken interest in this John Bolton. After her arrival it wasn’t hard to see why her cousin had become so infatuated with him, but Belle had hardly expected herself to fall for him too. She had reasoned that they were friends. If they were to be anything more than that, it would have to be in-laws, or something of the like. If Emma liked him, Belle had no right pursuing him. And yet the idea of him wanting her made a bubble of guilt rise in her chest.
“Well,” She swallowed hard, fidgeting with her hands as she spoke. “I suppose it would depend on what level of interest the gentleman had. If it is a fleeting infatuation, then I would certainly advise him not to act brashly. And I would kindly remind him that if I am to partake in a courtship, I would wish for it to be genuine. That, ideally, it would end in marriage and, in time, a family.”
A moment passed as her thoughts raced to organize themselves in her mind. She was only silent for a few seconds but it felt like hours in her head before she opened her mouth again to speak.
“So, if the gentleman’s interest aligned with such ideals.... then I would hardly consider it a foolhardy endeavor.” Taking a deep breath, Belle finally rose her gaze to look at him, the blush in her cheeks brighter than ever. “In fact, I believe I would advise him to make his interest known. Because I think I would be quite interested as well. In a courtship, I mean. With the gentleman.”

None of our hands are clean
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangshan#mianmian#The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing#He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

ㅤ/ It's been a long while since i've done one of these (or if I've ever done one at all) but!! currently, this is the list of my muses in here that I currently feel most inspired to write for! meaning that chances are that I might (big emphasis on might) feel more inspired to write with these characters than the rest / might be easier for me to cook replies with them;
Fresh from the oven (the top rn basically) :
Dante
Salieri
Would tip my fedora if asked to write them, aka: cannot miss with these guys (no specific order) :
Asclepius
Constantine XI
Odysseus
Saito Hajime
Moctezuma II (?)
Arjuna
Camazotz
L.ucifer (~)
You can always ask for them and chances are, I will probably always be able to cook something with them :
Gilgamesh
Arthur
Arjuna
Jason
I can vibe with them if requested :
Robin Hood
Karna
Arash
Tezcatlipoca
Edmond Dantes (an old time favorite but im putting him here bc I would have to re-read a lot to remember stuff! it's been a long while!)
Nitocris
Nero Claudius
Sherlock Holmes
Moriarty
Ashwatthama
Tlaloc (?)
Oberon
#;ooc#ooc#for reference !#u can always request anyone from my muse list but im going to be honest and say#some im not feeling too much currently;; that could change of course! its just that as of right naow they are on the low tides per say#some characters i've only used to mess around with and/or actually never seriously wrote them#again this list keeps changing according to my interests and if a wave comes back with old muses i miss#this is only in regards to this blog btw#/i put m.octe with a (?) bc on one end he is too special to me and i fear i wont be able to give him justice by not knowing exactly#where i want to aim his character#so i mostly ramble about him and his themes but actual threads scare me OITHRIUTHR#the rest are good to go#the other 3 (?) at the end is bc it depends-#everyone else that is missing from this list is currently on the low tide where i either struggle connecting with them again#or its been too long and i would have to research a lot to get them to click inside my brain#i would like to add m.organ somewhere but tbh i would have to reread a lot of stuff and my energy is so lowwwwww#l.uci has a (~) bc its been some while since i dusted him and i want to refresh my mind too but he's interesting yes

@wonderland-woe You have given me ideas that's not good- Have this before I go to work
--------------
It's been a month since Yuji ate that damn finger and been riddled with a constant headache and ringing in his ears, and only now has he started to be able to distinguish the voices from each other.
HE NEED SOME MILK
Is not what he expected to wake up to today, but he appreciates the alarm... maybe.
"Can't you guys just wake me up normally? And none of you even sound like that??"
Ah the wonders of audio clips
Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy!
Kid, get off the bed and get ready
TIME TO GET GAINS
NO PAIN NO GAIN
HYPE TRAIN!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
"Ok ok, I get, I'm going. Wait, where's the one who told me blood facts?"
GAINS
GAINS
GAINS
Give her a sec kid, I think she's alseep-
*ding*
Dormancy is for the weak!
There she is
FACTS, TELL THEM WE NEED GAINS
If your heart grows too much muscle then you will die because your heart doesn't have enough room to pump blood. Besides, he's an acceptable ratio of fat an muscle for the average teen boy, although the feats he's able to accomplish don't completely line up with what should be humanly possible at his age and weight class-
What are you a doctor?
...
...
...
...
FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE
Love the creation hate the creator
In any case, what did you want?
"Oh, I was just wondering where you were since I didn't hear your voice yesterday."
Of course you didn't, I was offline doing... I don't remember.
"I mean, you guys mentioned sleeping?"
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!
INSOMNIACS RISE UP
We don't need sleep, although we do sometimes fall into periods of dormancy, none of us remember what we do or where we go. You can summon us back though if that makes you feel better.
How do YOU know so much?!
... That is a question.
The mindless chatter continues as normal, but it still leaves Yuji with a lot of questions.
"Do any of you have names? It feels kinda rude to just say 'you'."
A scramble of words mashed together is the expected initial answer, Yuji has gotten used to many responses all at once and then having one of the voices sort through them. This time, there's no rush, only a silence that Yuji hasn't felt since before he ate Sukuna's finger on the school roof.
He doesn't like it.
"Guys?"
Probably shouldn't ask that again, kid.
" Oh, it's you! You always call me kid!"
Gotta have some consistency so you can tell us apart.
That confuses Yuji. "But your voice is also different. Yours is slightly deeper than the rest and kind of has an accent, but it's really smooth."
Huh
Never thought I'd get my voice analyzed.
Anyway, don't ask us that question again, I don't think we're allowed to tell you or really even know ourselves.
"Well, can I give you a name then? Facts is kind of a nickname already, but I don't know if she'd like it, so how about you?"
Sure kid, just don't use anyone's actual name, maybe something inanimate.
"YOSH! Then how about... Rook! Like the chess piece."
...
"... Do you not like it or-?"
PFFFFFTTTTTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
KID, IM CRYING OH MY GOD
HA
"Whats so funny??? Did you want me to change it??"
Nonono, it's fine kid, I love it
Yuji hears a few more laughs spill from Rook before they finally compose themselves.
Rook it is then.
SO WHAT DID I MISS
Is that even out yet?
WHY ARE YOU GREEN?!?!?!
Ask our host.
"What do you mean green?"
Don't worry about it kid, now go, you're gonna be late for breakfast.
A change has occurred
I WANT A COLOR DAMMIT
--------
More extras because I gotta go soon
There's no emotes but they can do audio clips.
Mods are given colors when Yuji gives them a name and therefore power since now they have something close to an identity. This also let's them talk through a mouth easier since it's not a bunch of voices all going at once.
Gifted subs would be cursed energy
Gifted bits would be RCT
Hype trains would basically be Sikuna gradually giving Yuji more and more cursed energy depending on how big the hype train is. He has his own little cheer squad :>
And yes! The mouth is tts!! They're all fighting for control so it comes out like 20 broken radios put together into a cursed symphony!!!
I don't have an idea for channel points (I don't even use twitch what tf am I doing here????) but feel free to add your own!
I'm so sorry @videnrambles I have once again taken your idea and ran with it like that child with a knife.
OC/SIkuna AUs that I think would be funny/interesting.
Sikuna is the most aggressive version of Gordan Ramsey. Instead of trying to fight curses all of Yuji's time and energy is spent learning how to cook so the Gordan stops yelling at him.
Sikuna is Dr. Doofenshmirtz. He keeps "forcing" Yuuji to preform his evil plans and in reality it's just some shit like; steal all the forks and force them to worship you if they want a fork.
Sikuna is a twitch chat
Sikuna is Batman
Sikuna is a sweet old grandma who likes cooking and is a war veteran.
Sikuna is a kid with a really specific special interest and they keep demanding Yuji show them said special interest.
Sikuna is Todo Aoi from the future
Idk, im tired man
#writing#back again on my bs#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#jjk fanfic#or at least a drabble#idk what im doing#yuji itadori#someone tell me to shut up#idk if I have more ideas#i think this is it for now#I HAVE TO GO TO WORK
