A quote and thoughts regarding Shen Yuan's opinions on Liu Mingyan and the "sexiness" of the Liu Mingyan versus Sha Hualing setup. He knows what he should be feeling in this situation as a "normal straight guy", but I don't think he's actually feeling it.
"Shen Qingqiu was very fond of this female lead, and it wasn't only because Liu Mingya's beauty points were the highest. It was also because she had great poise. She always understood the big picture and grasped the general situation, and her conduct was fair and honest. Even in Luo Binghe's gigantic harem, a wife with both intelligence and moral character was rare.
There was one more appeal factor. Liu Mingyan was the only female character for whom Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky didn't write detailed sex scenes. Many readers had been highly dissatisfied with this arrangement, to the point that they spammed the comments with their ranting, but this had given Liu Mingyan something no other female lead had: an image as clear as ice and pure as jade!
Can't be helped, the unobtainable ones are always the best.
[Sweatdropping shrug kaomoji that I can't type out.]
This was what made the second match worth watching. An evil demoness naturally demanded a righteous saintess as a rival. Every man dreamed of being caught between an angel and a devil. To watch them jealously vie with each other over him one moment, then risk life and limb for his sake in the next - that was the highest, most sacred, perverted fantasy of every male organism. He could drunk off the wild, untamed charm of the wicked seductress, and at the same time his heart would ache for the austere taste of the pure saintess who kept pulling him closer only to push him away!
One had to admit, "Great Master" Airplane was genuinely good at nailing what people found satisfying. Shen Qingqiu couldn't help giving Luo Binghe another glance.
Luo Binghe found it very hard to not care about that gaze. Why exactly did Shen Qingqiu keep looking at him? Was it possible that Shizun... really had an interest in him?"
Volume 1, Chapter 2, pages 111-112.
I'm not sure where to start with this! It's a lot! I'll just work backwards: it is very funny to have Shen Qingqiu repeatedly looking towards Luo Binghe, trying to see Binghe's reactions to Sha Hualing and Liu Mingyan, and Binghe's just like, "Shizun is looking at me???" I think "interest" in this case just means interest in Binghe as a disciple with potential, rather than anything else. Binghe is not paying any real attention to Sha Hualing or Liu Mingyan's attractiveness.
Oh! A rare compliment towards "Great Master" Airplane! Shen Yuan, don't strain those rarely used muscles!
I do find it amusing that Shen Yuan refers to Liu Mingyan as "moral" and "righteous" and "pure" here. The vibe I got with Liu Mingyan is that she sided with Luo Binghe to take down her brother's murderer, which I would agree is righteous and abides by a set of morals. But the first few pages of SVSSS inform us that PIDW Luo Binghe viciously destroyed the great cultivation sects, which means that PIDW wife Liu Mingyan either helped or stepped aside when a whole bunch of murder happened.
And the "my favorite wife is the one with no (or limited) sex scenes" is a classic Shen Yuan moment and one of the reasons he reads as being strongly on the asexuality spectrum to me. The way that he talks about heterosexual "male" desire gives me the same vibe. Like he's separated from it. Like he knows this is what he's "supposed" to feel and he just... doesn't... and it's possibly hard for him to recognize what sexual desire feels like (as opposed to, say, general sexual arousal that doesn't necessarily have a target) if he's never actually experienced it himself. He knows what he should be feeling if he was the "every man" reader of PIDW.
Even when he talks about Sha Hualing and Liu Mingyan's appeal, he says "wild, untamed charm" and "pulling him closer only to push him away" as the key components of the fantasy. Like, "being flirted with" and "being fought over and fought for" and "appreciating a distant beauty" are more important than "having sex". "The most appealing thing about Liu Mingyan is that she wouldn't actually go through with trying to have sex with me," says Shen Yuan.
He's like, "Oh, I can recognize that Liu Mingyan and Sha Hualing are physically attractive, that probably means I'm an Ordinary Straight Man." Even though the way that he talked about Liu Qingge's looks in the Ling Xi Caves was... not very heterosexual... and here, he mostly seems excited just to see one of his favorite characters.
Admittedly, Sha Hualing appears 15-16 here and I think Liu Mingyan is around the same age (she doesn't have her spiritual sword yet), so Shen Yuan is probably also not attracted to them just because they're teenagers. (I do not interpret him as sexually or romantically interested in Binghe at all at this point in time.) I headcanon Shen Yuan being 20-ish at this point in time, so he's probably not that much older than SHL or LMY, but they're probably around his younger sister's age (Shen Yuan's younger sister was old enough to be reading non-con, gay, BDSM erotica.) Sha Hualing shows up half-naked and Shen Yuan is just like, "Where are your shoes? Did you walk here like this? Wasn't that painful?"
In my opinion, Shen Yuan seems a little... relieved... to think that no one could be sexually or romantically interested in the scum villain. He does lament that it's hard to get a girlfriend like this, sure. He does think that he's going to die and that he'd eventually lose any woman to Binghe, so there's no point in trying. But he really, really does not try. "Oh, I can't pursue anyone because they'd never be interested in me! How frustrating! ...Anyway! Moving on to enjoy the many other little pleasures of life! Like food and monsters!" I think the closest he comes to flirting with anyone is when speaking to Liu Qingge in the Ling Xi Caves, while Liu Qingge is coughing up blood, and that did not seem intentional.
I think if he had transmigrated into any other character, who wasn't an "unappealing" villain, Shen Yuan still wouldn't pursue women. I think he'd be like, "Well, I want a beautiful woman, because I have standards! But all beautiful women belong to the protagonist, and no one is better than Binghe, there's no way I'd win that competition, so there's no point in trying!" At which point, it's just like, "Shen Yuan, anyone becomes beautiful when you love or like them; I don't think you actually want to fuck women."
I think if Shen Yuan had transmigrated in as Luo Binghe, he still wouldn't try to pursue women. He'd be like, "I'm just raising my standards for the harem! Some of those wives were not very intelligent or in possession of good moral character! Nearly three-digits is disrespectful to the better wives! I'm only interested in especially beautiful and skilled women, like Liu Mingyan, who's perfect! (And also won't try to have sex with me.)"
Like, I am not against a bisexual Shen Yuan. I am willing to be persuaded to go along with many different interpretations! But he does read to me generally as a gay asexual / demisexual who hasn't yet realized that a desire to be fawned over and an ability to recognize beauty is not necessarily the same thing as sexual attraction. (I do think he is attracted to Binghe after Binghe gets back from the Endless Abyss, but his feelings there are tied up in his very real, reasonable fear of murder and mutilation.)

angst
TW- mentions of food
Part 1 , Part 2
I closed the room door behind me. "Y/n I'm so so fucking sorry" I mumbled. "asshole, he's such an irritating little shit." I kicked off my sweats and slipped under the duvet in my t-shirt. "He deserves the couch tonight." I rolled my eyes and tears slipped down my cheek. "I'm up his ass? yeah right If anyones up in anyones ass we all know who it is." I sniffled. "He's stupid. Stupid really. Really flippin s-stupid" I mumbled falling off to sleep. I pulled the duvet over my head. "He's so annoying" I whined.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
I sat up in bed the next morning, I yawned. Freshened up and headed to the kitchen. A glimpse of chris's head , curly hair unkept and untamed sprawled on the couch's armrest caught my eye. Good. I went into the kitchen. I tried not to smile at the dishes that were all washed and set in the rack, the plates and bowls from last night. My mug set out on the counter with the tea bag in it already. What a loser. I scoffed.
I'm not making him breakfast. I refuse. I started preparing breakfast for myself. Toast. Tea. Eggs. Sunny side up. I sat down, ready to enjoy my food. Chris looked at me from the couch before moving to sit at the table. "Y/n. You said we'd talk." I looked up at him and back at my plate. "y/n?" I sighed. "You said we'd talk-" "Yeah whatever go ahead. Talk." I rolled my eyes, mimicking him when i said 'talk'.
"I'm really sorry about yesterday. You know I didn't mean any of that. I was just really stressed and so out of it because of the deadlines for the tracks and I just lashed out at you. I really didn't mean it" He rambled. "I really didn't mean to hurt you. I promise. I ate all of the food and it was absolutely delicious. I promise that I'll practice to control my anger and I won't take out my frustrations on you again. Y/n..."
I ate quietly while listening. He's an idiot. "Y/n. I'm sorry." He leaned forward on the table. Dumbass. He's dense. Why should I be the dense one? "Y/n babe, I'm really really fuckin' sorry. It was so wrong of me." I looked up to see him right up in my face then looked down again stabbing the egg with my fork harshly. Stupid stupid stupid pretty faced fucker. "My love?" He held my free hand in his. I blushed, keeping my gaze down.
I smiled slightly before changing it quickly. "y/n-ie, pretty angel?" He caught my smile all too quickly. Obviously. I rolled my eyes, pushing his hands away. "Yeah whatever I get it." He moved closer. "My beautiful baby?" I bit my lip holding back my grin. I pushed his forehead back. "Get out of my face loser." I rolled my eyes standing up.
He stood up chuckling, grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. "Do you forgive me?" He whispered. I nodded and tried to remove his hands from my wrist. "Babe, I need words. please." I groaned and finally allowed myself to smile. "Yes I forgive you, dumbass." He pouted. "I'll try not be a dumbass again." I nodded. "Try hard." I moved to wash my dishes when he grabbed my plate from his hand.
"I'll do it." I frowned. "Its fine Chris." He hugged me from behind. "I don't wanna lose you y/n..." He mumbled against my neck. "You're not going to lose me." He sniffled and I turned around holding his face in my hands. "Hey! don't cry, everythings okay." He pouted. "Its so hard...Its so much work and I'm in so much pain...and hurting you puts me in even more pain and i just wanna be with you all day and all night b-but i can't and it's getting too much and I need a break from work and I need you and I can't lose you...."
My eyes swelled with tears. "And you're not going to lose me. Its going to be okay. I'm always going to be by your side. Whenever it gets too much and too rough I'm right here for you to lean on." I pulled him into a hug. He nuzzled his head in my neck. "Its going to be okay pretty boy." He sniffled. "It keeps getting harder love. And without you it'll just be a thousand times more worse. Please don't go." I rubbed his back gently.
"I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this okay?" He nodded. "I love you." I smiled "You know I love you too." I wiped the tears off his cheeks. "You shout at me again and I'll fist you in the face." He laughed whilst sniffling. "Yeah? You gunna hit me?" I looked at him and scoffed. "Do I look like I'm kidding?" He laughed again shaking his head. "No ma'am." He smiled.

Chan wakes up to someone planting tiny, loving kisses all over his face. He makes a soft sound and rolls onto his stomach, burying his face into his pillow. “No,” he protests weakly, and can hear you giggle. 
“Morning, love,” you greet him fondly and run your hand through his untamed curls. “Come on, you have to be back at the company in an hour.”
“Don’t want to,” he groans and buries himself deeper into the pillow. “You can’t make me.”
“Maybe not…but Lixie can,” you smirk, and Chan snorts. 
“Yeah, sure, I wanna see that,” he laughs, flinching away when someone hits his arm playfully. 
“I’ll show you,” Felix chimes in, and Chan turns onto his back, squinting his eyes at him. Felix hovers over him with an amused grin, hair hanging into his face as he does. “You look like shit.”
“Good morning to you, my charming baby,” Chan laughs, not even offended, and rubs his face tiredly.
“When did you get back yesterday?” you ask.
“You mean today. When did you get back today?” Felix corrects you with a chuckle, and you fondly roll your eyes at him. 
“I don’t know, three?” Chan shrugs. 
“That means five,” you sigh softly, scolding him more gently than you should. 
“Fine,” Chan sighs right back at you. “I just needed to finish-.” 
Felix shuts him up with a kiss, leaning down and connecting their lips tenderly. “It’s always just one little thing you had to finish; don’t bother,” he laughs, and Chan shoves his chest.
“I demand cuddles,” Chan announces cheerfully and reaches out for you. You let him pull you against his chest and get comfortable, smiling at Felix, who does the same. Your hand finds Felix’s, and you intertwine your fingers on Chan’s stomach. Chan soothingly runs his hands through your hair, smiling as the two of you search his near. “I love you two so much.”
“We love you too, Channie baby,” you answer with a fond smile. “We missed you yesterday.”
“Oh, come on,” he chuckles. “You have each other. What would you need me for?”
“We always need you,” Felix argues gently and cuddles closer. “All we do is talk about how much we miss you when you’re not there when we go to bed.”
“Mhm, we really miss your warm hugs and kisses then,” you agree. 
Chan almost chokes on his chuckle as tears brim his eyes. He didn’t expect you to be so sweet and actually feel like it makes such a difference if he’s there in the evening or not. “Bullshit,” he whispers weakly, but the way your grip on him grows tighter proves him differently. 
“Can you finish off earlier tomorrow?” Felix asks, soothingly rubbing his chest and nuzzling his nose into his neck. “We wanna take you out for dinner.”
“Any special occasion?” he asks surprised. 
“No…we just think you deserve a break,” you tell him, and Chan’s heart is about to burst. 
“Also, in case we haven’t mentioned that, we missed you the past few nights,” Felix giggles. 
“Do you have time? If not, we can reschedule,” you promise, and Chan quickly shakes his head. 
“No, I have time, I always have time for you two. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to show you that in the past few weeks,” he apologizes and hugs you both very tightly. “Dinner sounds amazing.”
-
The next evening, Chan drags himself in ten minutes before your departure. He throws his bag into a corner, kicks his sneakers off, and stifles a yawn as he makes his way into the living room. Chan’s exhausted from the lack of sleep these past few days; his back and neck hurt from sitting at his desk all the time, and his body screams for a break after that extra lesson with Min today. He had been anxious to mess up the new choreo, and Minho was glad to help him out, but they were both exhausted after. Chan forces a smile onto his lips, pretending to be so thrilled about their public dinner tonight. He frowns, seeing Felix and you still on the sofa in casual clothes and tilts his head at you. “Uh…I thought we leave in ten minutes?”
You flash him a smile and shake your head. “Lix told me how tired you were when he stopped by,” you tell him, and Chan’s frown deepens. 
“We decided to go out another time. What you need tonight are cuddles, your favorite meal, and a long, warm bath,” Felix adds with a gentle smile. 
“But…what about dinner?” Chan asks, sitting down heavily between the two of you as you pull him down. “You two were so excited.”
“You being home and able to relax is worth so much more,” you promise, and Felix hums agreeingly. 
“And when did you ever say no to cuddles and a nice night in?” Felix giggles.
Chan looks at the two of you stunned, and can’t fight the tears brimming his eyes. “You’re so cute,” he breathes out, and before he knows it, the two of you wrap him in a loving, warm hug. He sniffles softly, feeling slightly overwhelmed, and smiles as neither of you questions it. “I love you so much.”
“We love you too, babe,” Felix assures him and kisses his cheek. “Now try and relax a little, and let us handle the rest, okay? No thinking for others tonight, just let us spoil you.”
“Okay,” he chuckles softly and wipes his cheeks as you pull back from him, laughing at himself. Only then does he notice what both Lix and you are wearing. “Are those my shirts?”
“They’re plain black. Take a wild guess, Channie love,” Felix snorts. 
“I still get confused sometimes when I open your closet and stare right into the void,” you add, laughing as Chan makes a soft protesting sound and lovingly pinches your side.

You can choose the characters! s / o and the yandere character are rivals, always competing to outdo themselves and exchanging barbs. At a certain point, someone tries to harm the yandere character and s/o is not happy to hear about it, going to get satisfaction from such a person, because regardless of being your rival, s/o will not accept such behavior. The yandere character finds out about this, what would his reaction be?
I'm fond of such requests simply because I get to choose. I tried to choose as many characters that I could think of who would fit in such a scenario.
Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possessive behavior, obsession, violence, manipulation, mean behavior, bullying
You're my rival so no one else can hurt you
Sasuke Uchiha
Tumblr media
💙​ Sasuke has troubles dealing with his obsession as it overwhelms him a bit and unable to express it any other way, he winds up being quite rude towards you. Sasuke has come to respect you though since you're next to Orochimaru one of the few people who can keep up with him looking on how you yourself are a favorite of this man. Of course he has to acknowledge your skills but your competitive and cocky strike is a small problem for him. You're too untamable and as the possessive and more controlling guy he is, that is a problem. Sasuke wants to establish at least a bit dominance so you at least know better than to leave and abandon him yet you refuse to do so. So instead of talking he tries to show his dominance in his skills and during training which always ends up being a bit more violent than necessary since both of you don't hold back. He forces you to tag along with him so he can keep an eye on you and when you piss him off he might lowly threaten you, Sharingan activated.
💙​He's a traitor so many people seek out to hurt him though he is confident in his skills. Sasuke doesn't necessarily wants his darling to find out though, he might be a tiny bit embarrassed that someone got that close to him in the first place. Without a doubt he feels a bit insulted when you suddenly start being mad and swear that you'll hunt that person down to teach him a lesson. It sounds a little bit like you doubt his abilities which the prideful man can't have. At the same time though he feels a bit flustered since it also means that you are worried about him. He would never admit it but he sometimes wishes for you to show him that you care about him instead of constantly trying to outdo him. He's a bit smug the next time he approaches you since it's rare for you to be so protective over him, he'll probably hold it against you for a while. Don't misunderstand though, he's more than capable to kill the person on his own. He'll be glad to have you tag along though.
Katsuki Bakugou
Tumblr media
💥​He genuinely wishes that you two could just get along but your arrogant and provoking behavior coupled with his competitive side and short temper is only pouring gasoline into the fire. Maybe the fact that he is so cocky and boasts about his Quirk and strength just annoys you so he becomes the target of you. You're plenty strong yourself so that catches Katsuki's attention quickly and he's just as eager as you are to outdo the other one. Initially annoyed and pissed that he can't beat you, he learns with time that there are many people who are better than him and it's humiliating and also weirdly humbling. It helps him to appreciate this rivalry though since it's a chance for both of you to learn. Katsuki is lucid about his growing obsession but tries not to act rashly, becomes more worried when he hurts you. It's sometimes difficult though and he feels terrible when he yells at you. At the same time he almost feels a bit insecure, especially after realizing that he isn't the only talented person.
💥​He gets himself in all sort of troubles, especially with his temper. He has his pride though so he's embarrassed when word gets out to you that he's been attacked by someone though only sustaining minor injuries. Katsuki would prefer to remain as a strong guy in your eyes, he has troubles showing you that he's sometimes more weak himself. Initially when you come to visit him, he doesn't want to see you out of a lingering feeling of humiliation. What are you thinking of him now? Your reaction shocks him though. You scold him sternly for being such an idiot before proclaiming angrily that you'll beat the living shit out of whoever tried to harm him since such behavior is unacceptable. Before you can storm out of the door, he stops you though by grabbing your wrist. He didn't expect this and is majorly flustered by your clear worries about him, doesn't even realize what he's doing. When he does, he instantly lets go though and turns around to hide his pink blush. Moron, you don't have to go after them!
Ayato Sakamaki
Tumblr media
🥇​Ayato thinks of himself as the best so knowing that you try to pick a fight with him is as insulting as it is laughable. Honestly you stupid thing, what are you thinking? You angered him though so he plans to properly destroy you and let you become the dirt under his shoes. Problem is that you don't back down even after he has given you a humiliating loss, instead you remain stubborn and continue challenging him and you're smart enough to choose areas that he isn't as good in. His strongest side is sport so you tiptoe around it though you still train to become better. Ayato is just so mean and rude, you want to push him down from his high horse. The lack of humilation irritates Ayato and your refusal to give up even more. He could easily kill you but he decides against it. No, he wants to completely destroy you at first, see you on your knees as you admit that he's the best. His obsession to beat you turns into something else over time as he turns worringly much possessive.
🥇​Ayato is a vampire so him being attacked might have to do with it so he can't let you find out. You're only human, you don't know of his true identity yet. One of his brothers might have blown his cover a bit though since they know how he feels about you. The boy is mad when you express your worry for him, hisses if you think he's as weak and pathetic as you are even if he is deep down slightly flattered to know that you care. He wants to be worshipped a bit due to his ego so it's good to express your worries since it helps to awake the impression that you admire him at least a bit. If Ayato notices that you pay more attention to him and make a bit of a fuss about him, he will probably use the situation to his advantage to have you stick with him more often. Do him a few favors, bring him Takoyami and he'll quickly get over his aggressive attitude and be a bit nicer to you. He can't have you avenge him though since the person who attacked him might not even have been human. He'll torture them himself.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke
Tumblr media
⬛​The situation is complicated with you being part of the Port Mafia with a powerful gift yourself. Akutagawa is a dominant an possessive Yandere so the lack of control he has over you is angering. Your cheeky and teasing behavior even more, others might as well think of you as suicidal with the way you provoke him. Truth is that Akutagawa himself starts feeling like he isn't acknowledged just like with Dazai and it makes him mad since he starts feeling slightly insecure, starts feeling weak. For that he snaps all too easily as soon as you start your teasing, chances are that he even uses Rashomon out of impulse. He despises the small and painful clench in his heart since he admits deep down that you're very talented yourself. There is this fear to be abandoned again if you don't see him as worthy and this paranoia fuels his aggressive behavior. If you two get in a fight he is violent for the sake of showing you that he is stronger. Fear him, love him but don't leave him because you don't acknowledge him.
⬛​Refuses to ever be weak in front of you so he probably threatens to keep it a secret as soon as he couldn't kill the one who attacked him. He fears that you'll look down on him. Obviously you'll hear from it since he is quite the known figure in the mafia and decide to not see him. That's fine if he wouldn't know but when Akutagawa gets to know that you are aware of it but didn't even come to check on him with his injuries, he feels on edge. On the one hand he doesn't want you to come since he doesn't want to be seen as weak but with you not coming he feels like you just don't even care about him at all. The boy doesn't even know what he wants and he probably plans on being overly rude if you do come but he is silenced when he gets to know that you plan to get revenge for him. There is a genuine confused and shocked look on his face before it turns into a scowl. He doesn't need your help, he has to kill them himself. He feels a bit better to know that you care but doesn't want to acknowledge it.
Akabane Karma
Tumblr media
🔴​Karma is most of the time a bit bored so having his darling constantly picking fights with him provides more entertainment. He really likes them a lot so if he can have their attention by just provoking them and being their rival, this is for now enough as Karma feels quite playful when with you. He might turn a bit sadistic if you really hold your nose high in order to teach you a lesson and humiliate him a bit. If you're a more respectful individual who respects him though, he'll do the same. There is no denial that sometimes he just likes teasing you to see you turning mad a bit, you're so adorable when you get mad at him after all. Keeping up with his intelligence is already something quite admirable so Karma at least doesn't look down on you, admits that you're quite formidable. The red-haired male is possesive though and pushes everyone away from you who might have an interest. He enjoys the world where only the two of you exist and won't let some other dumb shit interfere.
🔴​He can't help but pick fights from time to time, you know? Especially if someone plays the high and mighty. You are aware of his mischievous and troublesome attitude yet can't help but be worried when you here about it. Karma plays it off like it was nothing though, completely relaxed even if he should have sustained some damage in the process. Karma is cunning though so when he realizes that you are concerned about him, he ends up using that fact against you. Of course he isn't against guilt-tripping you if it means that you spend more time with him, even if it is spend with him just teasing you and you being mad again. He'd be happy if you just end up being nice and gentle with him though even if he can't stop being playful with you for the life of him. He won't let you be involved in any sort of danger though when he hears your plans. You shouldn't end up getting in troubles because of him since Karma still wants you safe. So do him the favor and stay away or he might have to use some force.
Hashibara Inosuke
Tumblr media
🐗Inosuke is a confirmed hothead so he takes on the challenges his darling throws at him daily. It’s quite the friendly rivalry the both of you have though since it’s already quite obvious that Inosuke has it bad for you yet he doesn’t even realize it for such a long time. He just knows that he wants to impress his darling, he wants to show how strong and cool he is. You can goad him relatively easy into training sessions with him as the thought of spending time alone with you is more than enough to motivate him. Inosuke is petty as well since he insists on always training and fighting alone with his darling since he gets territorial whenever someone else asks to tag along. The young man wishes to be the center of your attention and wants to be the only one you compliment when he’s beaten you in a fight. He thrives of your praise and gets jealous quickly whenever you praise someone else. Despite enjoying his training with you, he’s always surprisingly careful to not hurt you.
🐗The boy is mad that he let the demon escape who attacked him, is probably already busily proclaiming to no one in particular that he’ll go out and search for them as soon as possible. The moment you step in to check on him though, he’s busily gawking at you and ignores whoever is with you. Even if he should be hurt, he tells you proudly that it’s nothing. Inosuke is clingy and wants attention so he winds up manipulating you into staying with him for now, he blooms under your attention on him and is honestly just liking the fact that you show so much concern. He’s very touchy and definitely guilt-trips you into allowing him to do so. He bristles against your idea of going after the demon who hurt him though, you can’t go without him. Ever since he’s realized his feelings, he also realized how protective he is so he doesn’t feel safe with the thought of letting you go alone even if he knows that you’re tough. Also, that’s his demon to kill. You just stay back and be amazed by him.
Ichimaru Gin
Tumblr media
🐍There are only few people who trust him and due to his unsettling behavior and appearance, even fewer dedicate their time to be with him. His darling is certainly a little but pleasant surprise in that aspect. Not even in his Vision yet they search for him willingly to constantly challenge him. He would have dismissed you a long time ago after a humiliating loss for you but you just keep on getting up again and again and constantly improve yourself, step over your limits. Gin appreciates that a lot since it not only serves as an entertainment but it also allows him to have excuses to see you when he becomes obsessed. Gin is strange though since he willingly allowed himself to become obsessed simply because the feeling was exciting and new. As much as he mocks you with his sarcasm, he occasionally does comment that you’ve gotten stronger and gives you tips how you can improve. It might not be immediately obvious but he appreciates your company since he tends to feel a bit lonely.
🐍Honestly, he is fairly amused about someone's attempt to hurt him though he guesses that he might have pissed of the one or other person with his attitude. Gin is someone who probably has someone informing you about what happened simply to have you rushing to him, seeing you worried over him is adorable and he just wants you near him. It's refreshing to see you fussing a bit over him like this since you're usually loud and boisterous. But now you're scolding the Captain for being so airheaded to let himself get mildly injured, scowling before you tell him that you're going to find the bastard who did this to him and beat them black and blue as punishment. He holds you back before you can storm out though, coaxes you instead to spend some time with him. He's been just assaulted after all, he could need your company. Whilst he is pleasantly surprised and thrilled that you'd go that far for him, he'd rather keep you out of his problems. Just continue to be so loyal and dedicated for him.

A hanfu isn't just a robe, though. It's a specific type of traditional outfit that has even more specific variations, and while you could describe it more specifically (e.g. she put on her red ruqun, with a pleated horse-face skirt), it isn't always relevant. I've never seen anyone bring this up for, say, kimonos, and I don't think the GOT comparison is fair, either. It'd be more like "he puts on his armour". What type of armour—lamellar, chainmail, heavy, leather? It doesn't always matter. 1/2
--
2/2. Putting down a category of traditional clothing as "meta terminology" also rather irritates me. Again, looking at kimonos. Perhaps it's unfamiliar because CN fashion isn't as widespread as JP, but it's literally just what the broad category of clothing is called, and within the context of danmei fandoms, it shouldn't be unfamiliar knowledge. Trying to Americanize everything by simply calling everything a 'robe' loses the point entirely and is the equivalent of really terrible translation. Sorry, one more thing. When I picture a "robe", I think of wizards. DND. Bathrobes. None of which bear any similarity to a hanfu, and unless you want to describe "a parted robe made of flowing Yun brocade with loose sleeves that wraps around the body, with a wide collar that has its right lapel crossed over its left, tied at the waist with a belt, with a jade pendant weighing down the long skirt" every single time it's brought up, I'm pretty sure "hanfu" is a more accurate descriptor by far.
Uh... anon...
1.
'Robe' is an extremely vague term that absolutely is used for all sorts of garments from all over the world.
The fact that you associate it with a tiny fraction of its conventional meanings isn't going to change how other people use it.
2.
I am indeed more familiar with kimono than hanfu, but I thought the other people did make explicit what their issue is, and it exists for Japan too.
Depending on when your canon is set (or its vague, handwave-y apparent time period for more fantasy canons), the word may not have been in use yet.
'Kimono' as a word is possibly as recent as the 19th Century, though I see one etymological dictionary saying 1630s. Prior to the 19thC, a lot of things we would now call 'kimono' were known as 'kosode'. The further back you go, the more other terms there are and the more the distinctions matter.
I'm personally a fan of fiction set in the Heian period, and they would absolutely not have been calling anything a "kimono" then, nor do the robes look like modern kimono.
Furthermore, a generic-ass word like 'wear on upper body'+'thing' doesn't get its modern interpretation until it has significant competition from Western clothing. Today, it has a relatively narrow range of interpretations based on the calcified form of traditional Japanese clothing that still hangs on.
It's an absurd affectation to insist on calling all ancient Japanese clothing 'kimono'.
That wouldn't be de-Americanizing your writing.
That would be "According to keikaku".
--
From what I've seen in other people's meta posts about Chinese fandoms, the reason people object to 'hanfu' in fic is that this word has gained a lot of popularity in very recent history as part of the hanfu revival movement.
While it existed before that, it wasn't used so consistently, and it mainly turned up in contexts talking about Chinese as opposed to foreign clothing. It doesn't seem to have been a general term used like "So-and-so put on his completely normal outfit to get ready for the day".
People are using it (outside of fic) to talk about a specific range of historically accurate Chinese clothing. It doesn't cover everything, and in the modern and highly gatekept usage, it specifically doesn't cover historically-inspired fantasy costumes like those on The Untamed.
If you're Chinese and you feel it should cover those, fair enough, but that isn't what a lot of the hanfu education blogs have been saying.
People aren't pulling this out of their asses out of a desire to be American. They're getting it from hanfu blogs asking them not to use the word like that.
If you think those blogs are wrong, please say that.

The lack of new novel-based fanfics in Guardian fandom is disheartening. It's not like I would ever read a drama-based fanfic. I read it before, a few, but for the most part, simply touching any plot detail of the show that was absurdly changed from what it was in the Novel, made me put down reading.
It would have been nice if the drama had been adapted in a still recognizable way, like it was with The Untamed/MDZS. But Guardian drama is harshly an Alternate Universe fanfic that was adapted for the screen. And I'm not talking about low budget or CGI, I was born in the 80s, that's not a problem. The actors and the soundtrack were great, but they are the only things that I can point out as having been pleasurable for me in any way.
Reading AU fanfics is great, seeing what people imagine, how they recreate the scenarios and interactions. But when it comes to the official adaptation of a Novel into a film or series, I expect that at least the core essence of the story and characters, and the myth and lore is preserved. (I'm not going to complain about censorship, that's not my point.)
Thanks to Hyde, I have at least 15 Novel-based fanfics on my reading list, by several authors that I believe I have never read before.
But the bottom line is that I'm not really part of what would be 'Guardian Fandom', because almost everything on AO3 is drama-based. Almost all of the metas I've seen circulating on Tumblr are drama-based. Fan posts almost always refer to the content of the drama, as well as discussions. And despite my love for the actors, I am by no means a fan of the drama. I've been completely in love with Novel for years.

Hunter Huntsmann and Ashlynn Ella redesigns/Monster forms.
Hi guys, I'm back again with more eah art since you guys really liked the previous piece,this time of Ashlynn Ella and Hunter Huntsmann,secret lovers and respectively the daughter of Cinderella and son of the Huntsman, the former of which is tidying the enormous quantity of hair that sprouted during the latters metamorphosis into a centaur.
As opposed to Duchess and as cute as they are, I always felt the original incarnations were a bit flat in terms of characterization,so I've taken a bit more liberty here than with Duchess's design...
My version of Ashlynn is a practical,industrious, deeply loving girl always fixing,mending and generally tinkering with stuff to make others lives better who lives with her widowed sickly mother and her majordomo and head of house as well as her two daughters, who in the absence of ashlynns father are expected to take up the role of the wicked stepmother and sisters in her story. The thing is that aside from engaging in a secret romance with a guy that is definitely not her destined prince, Ashlynn cant bear the thought of her family being torn apart purely because destiny says it should, she loves her stepmother and stepsisters as if they were blood family,and feels like they are under a lot of scrutiny because of who they're expected to be.
On top of this, outside her duties as princess and heir to Cinderellas kingdom,Ashlynn feels very responsible for her living spaces at both ever after high and her mothers castle as well as for her family's shoe company, and is often partaking in a million and one odd jobs of all kinds or just helping people out (most notably copying notes for brair during her narcoleptic episodes in class). As a result Ashlynn often finds herself worn out and is thankful hunter is around to help her take it easy and wind down after a long day on her feet.
Her monster form is an Obsidian Gargoyle,a protector monster made out of volcanic glass.
Meanwhile, my version of Hunter is a boy who is best described as sensible, mellow and passionate about nature. Hunter came out as trans in his early teens,much to the surprising elation of his father, who includes the boy in all of his own,very macho interests and hobbies. The thing is though is that just because hunter has transitioned that doesnt mean he still isnt the same person personality-wise and still enjoys a lot of the same,more stereotypically feminine things he did then like participating in gymnastics and cheerleading, continuing to dislike hunting,trapping and generally acting as if the wilds are ones personal space to do as they please as well as being a staunch vegan and environmentalist.
Deep down hunter fears for his father and by extent his family,believing his father's machismo is based on internal insecurity and repression, and wishes his father will one day be willing to talk about these feelings and take a more active role in his and his sister fern's lives beyond a distant "bringing home the bacon type" . A sentiment that his friends and bandmates Raven Queen,Cerise Hood and Dexter Charming can empathise with and which powers some of the Rebels' most powerful music.
His monster form is a centaur,well known as a creature of the untamed wilds.
Hope you like my art BTW.

Conflict Resolution Chapter 5 || Surgeon!Strange x F!Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Coarse Language, Sexual Elements, Medical elements, Arguing, Bickering Pairings: Stephen Strange x Asian!Reader (OC) Summary: Back for yet another counselling session with Dr. Sofen but it ended up in a plush fight between you and Stephen.
A/N: Hello, I am back, for real this time 😭 Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I must say I missed everyone and I missed being here. I am polishing my draft of 2319 and Thurber's Model atm. Trying to spend as much time writing so I can get back on my groove 😭I have no ownership of this story, all credits go to Kate Canterbary for her book, The Worst Guy.
My good girl always did her homework. She couldn't live in a world where she didn't comply fully and confirm to everyone that she was perfect and worthy of the little slice of space she occupied.
That good girl was shaking in her boots as you jogged up the stairs to Karla Sofen's office, right on time for this week's session. The other side of you welcomed the opportunity to show off Strange's epic inflexibility.
Karla was sure to see how that man was impossible. She'd sympathise with you. She had to.
As you exited the stairwell and approached her office, you found Strange leaning against the wall, his gaze fixed on Karla's door as if he could force it open by will alone. He wore the same dark blue scrubs as last week and hadn't yet realised his forearms were too profane to flash around these halls. Unfortunate. Someone really needed to talk to him about modesty.
You stopped several feet from him and grabbed your phone. You had no intention of speaking until the session started and you'd divert yourself by any means necessary. Even when the session did get underway, you intended to let Stephen implode and prove your point.
However, "Last chance," he said.
"Excuse you?"
"Last chance, " he repeated with a scowly side-eye. "Still have that index card?"
"You had plenty of opportunities to take advantage of my index card. You chose not to and that was all your decision."
"Hmmm." He crossed his arms over his chest and went on staring at the door. Then, "Hmmm."
"What?" You snapped.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how we're going to end up with another homework assignment because we didn't complete this one."
"I completed my part of this," you argued. "You're the one who couldn't be bothered to write down five little things." He turned his head and proceeded to drag his stare from your sneakers to your (again, still, always) untamed hair.
"And you think that actually matters?"
You shoved your fists into your pockets. "You should've done your part last week. Or at any time prior to this exact moment."
"I'm ready now. Got an index card I can borrow?" Before you could tell him what you thought about lending him anything, Karla swept into the hall, all smiles and silver hair.
"Ah, my friends! You're back for another visit. Come. Inside now, inside." Stephen resumed his spot at the bookshelf and you sat on the sofa, your hands clasped in your lap. Battle stations ready.
"Don't get too comfortable," Karla called from behind her desk. "We won't be sitting today."
She hefted an old milk crate onto her desk. "Playing is much more fun. We don't play enough as grown-ups, do we? It's like we forget how to do it."
"Or, after four years of undergrad, four years of medical school, another four or so years of residency, and then a year or two of fellowship, you have a bunch of socially stunted, sleep-deprived teenagers who know how to cut people open but not how to take a day off," Stephen said. "Comes with the territory, wouldn't you agree?"
She chuckled at him. "I call it job security."
With a fond smile for each of you, Karla carried the crate to the coffee table. "As I said, we'll be playing today." She beckoned to both of you, adding, "Up. On your feet."
You stood, shrugged out of your white coat, and draped it over the arm of the sofa. When you turned back toward Stephen and Karla, you were greeted with a decidedly masculine snort. You threw what the fuck? hands at him but he shook his head with a slight laugh.
You went on glaring until he said, "It's nothing. Just"—he glanced down at your t-shirt, the one that read Running On and the chemical structure of ATP, the stuff that carried energy in cells—"nothing. Forget it."
"And forget we shall," Karla said as she plucked a squishy ball emblazoned with a pharmaceutical company's logo from the crate. "Since this is not my first visit to the circus, I am not going to ask you about the homework from our last session. We'll play our game and have fun instead. All right?"
"This is obviously a trap," Strange said. You ran your palms over your thighs, knowing he was right about that yet completely unwilling to tell him as much.
"Trap? From me? No," Karla drawled. "I'd never." She tossed the ball from hand to hand. "All I want you to do is play a game of catch but do have a care for my plants. The string of pearls needs only a slight invitation to fall apart, and while the pothos looks hardy, it offends easily."
She lobbed the ball to you. "Ainsley. Start us off. My one rule is we don't let the ball hit the floor."
"And if we do?" Strange asked.
"You won't," she said.
"If we do?" he repeated.
With a deep grin, she said, "Embrace the challenge, Stephen, even if you don't know what might come of it." It started out simple, just you and Stephen throwing pharma swag back and forth across Karla's office. But then she reached into the crate and retrieved a plush pineapple.
"Let's add this one," she said. "Stephen, you're up." He caught the pineapple after sending the ball to you. It took both of you a few tries to get the rhythm right but you got there while Karla slathered on the praise.
Stephen wanted no part of that. He narrowed his eyes or locked his jaw every time she acknowledged both of you for playing along. All of that was annoying enough but he did it while flaunting those damn arms at you too. Terribly rude of him.
Then, she said, "It's too quiet in here. Let's have a little chat."
"And there's the trap," he muttered.
"Now, Stephen," she started, clearly enjoying his misery, "where is Ainsley from?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Hell, probably."
You winged the pineapple at him hard. He had to stumble backward to catch it.
"And Ainsley," Karla said, "where is Stephen from?"
"If I had to guess, I'd say a defective condom."
The pineapple struck your shoulder and you had to flail a bit to grab it before it hit the floor. You glared at him with as much heat and violence as you could summon. He rotated the squishy ball in his palm as if he was finding the right grip just as you shot the pineapple back at him. The ball landed square on your chest.
"Lovely, lovely," Karla sang. "Stephen, what is Ainsley's favourite colour?"
"Necrotic kidney," he said, spiking the pineapple high over your head. You barely caught it, and ended up with your t-shirt half untucked.
"Ainsley, your turn—"
"Anything infected with C. diff," you replied, putting all your weight behind sending that stupid pineapple to his scowly face.
"Oh, god," he groaned, catching the toy as it bounced off him. "Not fair, Park. Intestinal bacterium is out of bounds. Don't make me think about that. I'm gonna gag."
"Next question," Karla called. "Ainsley, did Stephen have any pets as a child?"
The ball connected with your thigh as you said, "They all ran away."
Before he was prompted, Stephen said, "You're the one who can summon monsters with your screeching. It must be difficult with yetis and the Chupacabra and the Loch Ness monster showing up all the time. Do they stay for dinner?"
The pineapple hit your other leg as you scrambled to catch it and throw back the ball without either touching the floor. The ball connected low on his torso and his eyes flared as he caught hold of it. These toys were small and light but you were breathing hard and sweating from this activity, and so was Stephen.
"Let's move on to siblings," Karla said.
"You can find Strange's on a true crime podcast," you said, aiming the pineapple at his jaw.
"As victims?" he asked. "Or killers?"
The squishy ball connected with your loose bun and half your hair slipped free from the tie but there was no time to stop and fix it. "Does it matter?"
"A bit," he yelled. "Am I the murderer? Are they? Come on! Get your game right, Park. Don't fall apart on me now. If you're taking these shots, you better shoot to kill."
"Then, yeah. You're the serial killer here."
"Thank you," he shouted.
"Stephen," Karla started, "tell us about Ainsley's—"
"You mean the Children of the Corn?"
"Very inventive," you said, sending the ball to his jaw again.
"Better than a serial killer," he replied, nailing your thigh with the pineapple.
"Really, though?" You argued. "I don't see how corn-harvest murderers are any different. Do better."
With an eye roll, he turned to Karla. "Do you have anything harder?"
You took that opportunity to fire the pineapple right at his chiselled cheek. His head snapped back and the pineapple rolled under the coffee table. There was a full second where he was stunned silent.
But then he rounded on you, his signature scowl replaced with a flat, open-mouthed stare that was many, many times more dangerous than any other look he'd ever sent your way. At the exact same second, both of you dived for the crate and grabbed all the ammunition you both could carry and let loose on each other. Plush toys, bouncy balls, stress balls, tennis balls, every variety of pharma swag—it was a wild, hiccuping blur of hits and throws.
"You just don't know when to stop," Stephen shouted, an eggplant stress toy with the brand name of an erectile dysfunction drug printed on it flying from his hand.
"And you do?" You cried, throwing two miniature frisbees. "You could've stopped this shit last week but you didn't!"
"Oh, because I wouldn't fall in line with your precious little terms?" A series of three hard bouncy balls ricocheted off your thigh. They were going to leave a mark. "You have got to be fucking kidding me."
"I was trying to make this easier on everyone," you yelled.
"And who the fuck asked you to do that?" he countered, whipping a small cactus plush at your face. "I don't need you looking after me. If I need to staple a fucking laceration, I'll staple it—and just so you know, I'm fully aware that staples aren't right in every case. I fucking agree with you but you're too busy force-feeding me to even hear that and—"
"You're too condescending to force-feed," you said.
"You are relentless," he panted, his eyes flashing with heat and his jaw locked in the most stern, severe line.
Before you could reply, Karla placed herself in the middle of the skirmish, her hands out. "You're both relentless—or do you not notice it in yourselves the way you see it in each other? That happens more than you think. It's similar to the way our eyes can see our nose but our brain instructs us to ignore it."
She gathered the toys where they'd landed all around. "Thank god my string of pearls was spared in this skirmish. Small mercies," she said under her breath. "For your homework this week, I'd like you to think about that. Your commonalities—and why they trouble you so much." She dumped the toys into the crate as Stephen and you looked on.
Both of you were still breathing heavily, clothes dishevelled and your hair wilder than ever as you glowered at each other. You weren't going to say he'd started it—though he did—or pretend he'd been the only one to deliver snarky, juvenile comments.
But the way he'd looked at you as he'd said you were relentless, the way he'd stared you down as if he was the only one who could call the terms of this war—it made you crazy enough to want to grab that pineapple and the eggplant and pelt him with them until he begged you for mercy.
Karla glanced between you. "That will be all for today."
With that, you grabbed your white coat and bolted out of there. You didn't need to be asked twice and you didn't need another minute with that man trying to stare your skin off.

Don't worry about it. Take your time on this request. ❤ School's important. As for request with betta fish hybrid Bakugou and human reader- I'm thinking about what if the reader has a huge swimming pool in the backyard. Imagine Bakugou's expression when he sees the pool for first time! And reader spends time with him in the pool. Thank you~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/n: I am literally in love with this! Also because I took way longer to get motivation to write I also added a handful of headcannons. Tysm anon for requesting sorry for the wait.
Warnings: None this is just pure fluff.
Crack-ish ending.
Once you made it to his door you knocked and waited for a bit. After a while of waiting you eventually heard a familiar grunt on the other side. Some shuffling on the other side made it clear he was on his way to answer the door, but just being painfully slow. The door opens to reveal an all too familiar scowl. Bakugou’s hair looked more untamed than usual and that’s saying something. That paired with his eyes half lidded made it obvious to you that you had just woken him up. “This better be good dumbass.” He said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Bakugou’s hair looked more untamed than usual and that’s saying something. That paired with his eyes half lidded made it obvious to you that you had just woken him up. “This better be good dumbass.” He said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
You couldn’t help but laugh a little and this made his glare even worse. Ignoring the death glare shot at you, you grabbed his hand and started walking down the stairs. “I’ve got a surprise for you!”. You could almost feel the eye roll he gave to the back of your head.
“It’s always something with you.” He said keeping his anger known even through talking. Ignoring this you fastened your pace down the stairs, dragging the poor merman behind you.
Once downstairs you told Bakugou to close his eyes, which he did, complaining of course. If you weren’t already used to his behavior you would have been disheartened by his sour mood. It was a good thing you had waited to show him this.
“Ok open them!” You exclaimed, once you finally got to the edge of the pool. You turned to face him, expecting his scowl to at least lessen. To your utter amazement you actually saw a smile. “What do you think?” You asked him with a closed eye smile. If only you hadn’t taken your eyes off of him. Because the tiny smile turned into a large smirk. Bakugou had backed up a bit just far enough to get a good running start.
When he deemed the space between you perfect for his plan he started sprinting in your direction. Confused by his silence you opened your eyes to see an ash blond blurr heading way too fast towards you. You only had just enough time to hold your breath before you were tackled into the water.
You clinged onto the very thing that got you into this mess for dear life. Bakugou wasn’t completely cruel and pulled you up to the surface and made sure you were alright. But since it was bakugou he was practically cackling the whole time. “You should’ve seen your face!” He mocked.
“This is the last time I try to do something nice for you.” You grumbled. You looked down and saw that his legs were beginning to turn into a beautiful flowing tail. Your awestruck face did not go missed by him and he moved it left to right to show off the flowing fins. “Don’t think you can distract me!” You shouted,once you realized what he was trying to do.
“Because of your stunt we’re having the must bland and unspicy food I can think of!” You threatened him, in a joking tone. “You wouldn’t dare.” He growled out with a deep scowl. “I would.” “You don’t mean-“ “boiled potatoes!”
Head cannons:
• He goes out everyday for a morning swim and night swim.
• The morning one is as a part of his extremely strict workout routine.
• The night one is something he does to wind down and relax, mostly done with you.
• You had to add some lights so you could see his tail at night.
• The light reflects off of it in such a pretty way!
• You had originally planned on getting a waterfall installed but did some research, and found out that betta fish prefer still water.
• Looks like a strong swimmer but isn’t because of the beta genes.
• Because of that he mostly stays afloat with his arms while his tail only sways occasionally.
• Because betta fish prefer live food he on many occasions has tried throwing fish in the pool to chase.
• You had to eventually buy one of those wind up fish toys.

Wyatt returns home, channeling the last of his frustration and anger into working on untamed magic. When it comes, the feeling of being watched is calming as it settles over him. There's no ill intent from it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Feeling the weather starting to shift when the clouds cover the moon, Wyatt heads inside to work on his potions again. He's moderately more successful this time. Though when the rain starts coming down in sheets, he stops to worry about Chase, hoping he gets to his house safely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lightning hits the middle of the road and Wyatt has to take a moment to recover his equilibrium. That was a little too close for comfort. Maybe he should give up for the night. Even though he's inside, so much glass around makes him feel exposed.
Tumblr media
Water would be fine. Thunderstorms? Chase isn't stupid enough to go out. Which leaves him cooped up in a very small house and he is not happy. Neither is his wolf. And the full moon is the next day which makes him even more restless. Maybe he'll risk going down to the bar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though it started raining again, Chase has decided to go by the Spellcaster's house again and this time he's outside.
W: Hey. You came back.
C: Yeah, I'm sorry about last time, I don't know what was wrong with me.
His wolf side is pleased he's returned at least.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
W: Spellcasters and Werewolves don't traditionally get along. Maybe it's just instinct.
C: No.. my wolf definitely doesn't mind being here.
W: You're... wolf. Hm. Do you, the man, not like Spellcasters then?
Wyatt can't help looking over the man's scars, so on display.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
C: I.. was always taught Spellcasters were.. mixing in unnatural forces. That they weren't good.
W: You've been watching me, do you think I'm that way?
C: No, no I don't - what? Uh, I mean, I wasn't-
W: It's okay. I wasn't sure it was you, but I don't mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
W: Listen, we're both getting soaked through out here. Why don't you come inside and dry off?
C: Oh, yeah. Doesn't bother me much anymore, but you must be cold.
W: Anymore, huh? C'mon, we can talk more inside.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....
This is a difficult one! I've loved a LOT of characters over the years even if the current blorbo of interest is NHS from MDZS/CQL bc he's just such a fun little guy BUT lets see if I can try to do this chronologically and not in like, any character ranking fashion:
1 & 2: these two characters are absolutely the rulers of my heart: Huang Rong and her father, Huang Yaoshi from Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong. I just love my beloved spoiled conwoman princess and her insane evil wuxia version Maes Hughes dad so much. I could write so many essays about the Huangs and how they mean so much to each other and also to me. I'm always insane about family members who have complex relationships with each other and that's super evident with them.
3. Uchiha Madara from Naruto. Now, people who have known me for a long time know that I am a Naruto girlie, and that I skipped all the way to "Sasuke's Insane and Sad Pathetic Ancestor" on the character likes list. I love insane murder men and Madara is an insane murder man! He's also very sad. What's there not to like about him truly.
4. Mirasol from Chalice by Robin McKinley. I have a deep love for beauty and the beast narratives and this one ALSO had magic bees. I love Mirasol for her kindness and her devotion even in the wake of massive change and I have a special fondness for the entire story of Chalice both for the lovely worldbuilding and also Mirasol herself.
5&6. Sansa Stark and Cersei Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire. I really really love both of these characters for entirely opposing but also really similar reasons! I love them for their flaws. For being stuck in their positions in a world that's really just! not! kind to them! and how they take that and go in such different directions.
7. Sheng Rulan from The Story of Minglan. I have such a soft spot for Rulan. She's petty, she's spoiled, she has so much love and holds onto her principles and her dreams so tightly, she's her father's least favorite child despite also being a legitimate daughter, she finds love, she's so cute, she's the clearest sighted of all four of the Sheng sisters, she's got such a growth arc to her, I love her SO SO MUCH. (I love all three of her sisters too don't get me wrong, Rulan is just my favorite.)
8. Wei Yingluo from The Story of Yanxi Palace. Yingluo! My girl! Never have I ever seen a female lead with so much pent up rage and desire to get even in a story that does not judge her for her hard edges and her propensity for violence. I love that about her. I love how kindness and cruelty and how her quest for vengeance never destroys her ability to love and care for others and recognize other people's genuine kindness and the difficulties other people face in life. I love her shrewdness and her determination to survive too! I'm just! So fond of her!
9. Jaskier from The Witcher (TV). I RARELY TALK ABOUT. MY UNAGING BARD BLORBO. BUT I LOVE HIM. I love the messy relationship Jaskier, Geralt and Yennefer have in the Witcher TV show and I REALLY love the way that Jaskier is portrayed. I don't know anything about the games but! I just! I love! This annoying kind of foppish man because annoying foppish male characters are another beloved character archetype for me, see below.
10. Nie Huaisang from The Untamed/Modao Zushi. Beloved Blorbo. Little crimes man. Unfilial and spoiled. Beloved for being SO jiggly and full of trauma and his tragedy is writ large to me because it! powers! the plot! without his tragedy there is no plot! he burns down his social circle because he loves his brother! There's just so much in here that's like, oh god. I love that he's an annoying foppish dandy and that he loves his pets and creature comforts and that he doesn't enjoy working hard and has so many problems. This too is life. I love this little guy I want to rotate him for a good long time.

Waiting, ugh! I swear, time slows down when you're anticipating something. The damn watch had the audacity to claim it had been five minutes, but I knew better. For all I knew, the seller had decided to take a nap instead of showing up. That's what i would have done. Great, just great.
As I scanned the area, my eyes fell upon a girl who stood out like a unicorn in a herd of cows. She had this wild, untamed brown hair that seemed to have a mind of its own, falling haphazardly around her chin. She looked like she was on a mission, searching for someone, and then our eyes met. Oh boy, her expression was a mix of confusion, annoyance, and possibly the early stages of a sneeze. It was hard to tell. Her hazel eyes locked with my incredibly handsome blue eyes (no need to be modest here, it's a fact), and I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking. Probably something along the lines of, "Who let this charming hunk of a brother of mine out in public?"
She was sporting a black jacket that screamed 'fashion emergency', but hey, who am I to judge? I've tried giving her fashion tips before, but let's just say her response involved a lot of eye-rolling and exaggerated sighs. If only she knew how lucky she was to have someone with such impeccable style as her brother. Sigh, it's a burden being this fashionable.
Just as I was about to contemplate the mysteries of life, my phone buzzed, interrupting my deep thoughts. I glanced down, and it was a message from Alex (yep, the dog, not the human I mean the other way around frankly i see little difference). Talk about impeccable timing. I needed to get my sister away from here before things got messy. She had a knack for finding herself in the most inconvenient situations. It's like she has a secret superpower for bad timing.
But before I could even process my next move, she pounced on me, tackling me to the ground. It was like a poorly choreographed wrestling move gone wrong. I managed to regain my composure, though, because grace runs in the family (except for her, apparently). I pinned her against the wall, and she fought back, her strength dwindling. "What on earth was that?" I asked, my voice laced with irritation. She remained stubbornly silent, fists clenched, teeth gritted. I swear, she could give a statue a run for its money in the stubbornness department. And believe me, I've tried.
Using my exceptional hand-holding skills (a talent passed down through generations, mind you), I firmly yet gently held her shoulders, forcing her to look me in the eye. "Evie, you're my sister. Please, tell me what's going on," I pleaded, my voice oozing concern and sibling love. But nope, she continued her silent treatment, lost in her own thoughts. I contemplated performing a dramatic interpretive dance to get her attention, but I thought better of it. Maybe next time.
I reached out, my hand resting gently on her shoulder, and she winced in pain. Oops, my bad. I guess my charm doesn't always come with a gentle touch. I guidrd her into an alley to allow us some privacy also beacuse I was embarassed to be found with her in public .Evie  what's wring with you you've been so distant lately? I tried my beautiful touch again this time she cried out. Understanding dawned on me so quickly cz I'm smart and all. Swiftly, I removed her black jacket, only to reveal a blood-stained t-shirt underneath. Well, that escalated quickly. My mind went into panic mode, but my face remained calm and collected (because I am the epitome of composure, obviously). And then, as she collapsed onto me, losing consciousness, I couldn't help but chuckle nervously. "Well, if this isn't the perfect plot twist, I don't know what is."

static meets orca
lieutenant commander eric 'static' reyton
wc: 0.7k
warnings: none
march 5th, 1999; somewhere in the pacific ocean
eric wouldn't call himself a nervous man; careful, maybe, but he doesn't scare easily by any means. but when he turns the corner and finds himself face to face with lieutenant orca, there's a twinge of fear that pulls in his chest.
frozen in place, he half considers turning around and finding a different route just to avoid her, but despite seeming to be engrossed in the aggressive mopping she was doing, orca still notices him. her eyes flick up to his through her furrowed brow, sighing harshly and gesturing for him to pass with a jerk of her head.
"go." she grumbles, pulling the mop to her side and resting her other hand on her hip. for a second, eric hesitates, still debating on running off, but she starts impatiently tapping her foot as she waits for him to move.
he wants to say something, to reassure her that he's on her side even if no-one else is, that she's not the only one. the words are on the tip of his tongue, but orca's fierce glare withers whatever confidence eric thought he had.
with as much respect as he could muster, he edges past her, trying his best to step around where she'd freshly mopped. he glances up, meeting her fiery brown gaze, and for a fleeting moment, she looked a lot more like a cornered animal than the untamed beast everyone said she was.
"hey, uh–" he begins, swallowing his nerves before the can get the bettor of him,  "for the record, i think you both deserved it."
"the fuck?" orca spits, the fury on her face reignited by his admittedly poor choice of words. "you think I deserve to be mopping the damn floors right now? you got some fuckin' nerve, boy," she practically growls at him, throwing her mop to the ground as she takes a menacing step closer.
"wait wait! that came out wrong!" eric sputteres, taking a quick step back with wide, panicked eyes, but she just takes another step, hands curling into fists at her sides. "i– i meant to say– he deserved to get punched, and you deserved to be the one to do it."
she stops, still staring him down with the same deadly glare that, for a second, narrows even more, and eric truly believes that he's about to get his nose broken too; but orca just scoffs, turning her back on him as he releases a silent breath.
"...there were better ways to say that." she mutters, pointedly rolling her eyes at him as she picks up the mop again.
"right, sorry. i'll think before i open my mouth next time." he replies, a tiny smile finding it's way to his lips as the tension diffuses. "i'm eric, by the way."
"yeah i know who you are, reyton. you're the one that always fucks up the radio." orca replies, returning to vigorously mopping the floors again as they talk.
"ah," an embarrassed grimace takes over his expression, and he brings a hand up to scratch at the back of his neck, "yeah, that's me."
"isn't that your whole job? i don't get how you can be so bad at it…"
"probably something to do with my–" eric pauses, eyes scanning the corridor for any other signs of life before continuing in a low mumble, "...enhancement."
this time it's orca that freezes, mid swipe with the mop, eyebrows shooting up as her gaze snaps over to him.
"you're…?" she gestures between them, conveying the question without speaking it aloud. eric nods, and she tuts at him. "why didn't you lead with that? i almost victimised you, dumbass."
at that, eric lets a real grin form. "like i said, not a great thinker."
"i can tell." orca huffs, something that he thinks might've actually been a laugh. she's nicer than he was expecting, even if it wasn't by much.
the sound of voices from around the corner interrupts the quiet, one of them eric recognises as their superior officer, whose errand he completely forgot he was running.
"ah shit, that's the commander," he mutters, already starting down the corridor when he calls over his shoulder, "see you round?"
orca rolls her eyes again and turns back to mopping, her icy facade seeming a lot less intimidating than before.
"whatever, blondie."

Tag people you want to get to know better
Thank you to @ladymcres and @toppingjeffsatur I'm very honored ❣️
three ships:
Vegaspete. you know them. You love them probably if you're on my account. They're the most obsessive, codependent, devoted mfs out there and they are always on my mind. They're the most unhinged pair on the planet with such a weird complex relationship that anyone else would've broken up or never got together?? But because they're Vegas and Pete it just comes naturally to them. They thrive in their weird fucked up little world.
ToddBlack. Such little screentime but the IMPACT they had on me. I want a whole series about how they fell in love, eventually turning sour when Todd won't follow Black on his crusade against the elite, landing them in a bitter love/hate relationship where they fuck nasty and then Black says he wishes he never met Todd but he doesn't really mean it. He'll always come back to Todd and always choose this weird thing with Todd over more sensible options.
Dongsik/Joowon. Have I finished Beyond Evil? No. Do I fully believe Joowon wants to get down with Dongsik? Yes. Dongsik has dilf energy and Joowon has daddy issues they're a perfect match. Let Joowon fuck the old man!! Like at the very least just to piss off his shitstain father
first ever ship: Johnlock. No I won't talk about it.
last song: Louder than bombs by BTS
last movie: I haven't watched a movie in like. Months. It was probably Glass Onion though
currently watching: Beyond Evil, Island, Between Us, The Untamed.
currently reading: the final chapter of Yours and Mine by the lovely @raelle-writing just. Such a wonderful VegasPete fic. Uh haven't read a real book in like 84 years sorry :( it's the ADHD
currently consuming: water 🌊💦🌧️🧊🍶
currently craving: some gottamn motivation to write fic
As always idk who has done this so I'll be tagging some chill moots and no pressure at all!!: @sapphicblight @thisautistic @bi-wuxian @thoresque @kinnbig @aikinn

hey, can you please do mine?
Capricorn Venus
Lilith in Aries
Okay so I'm not familiar with Lilith but I've done a lot of reading just now and I think I can maybe talk about it and also draw connections between Lilith and Venus. (Ps I've just done a lot of reading about my own Lilith and found that my ed/daddy issues/trust issues expressed as a desperation to find a "protector" and constant illnesses could all be linked to my Lilith so that's fun lol)
I've read a few wee things and it seems a lot of people associate Lilith purely with trauma/misfortune but I kind of prefer the other way of viewing it which I've read a few times too (and seems more true to the story of Lilith too)
That's basically that a black moon Lilith can show the raw, untamable parts of us, and then the "troubles" these parts of us can cause, in the story of Lilith it's her untamable nature which ultimately gets her banished from the garden of eden... But you don't really see her as a victim, more a heroine because she is true to herself and her desires, she seeks pleasure and is willing to sacrifice everything for her happiness/fulfillment...
So like maybe your Lilith when connected to your Venus can highlight the things you'd do, the sacrifices you'd make for Love, or pleasure. Also the areas of your personality that can lead to feelings of rejection.
Capricorn Venus
🪽 feel a strong sense of responsibility to your partner, traditionally committed, devoted, needs security in a relationship and will try to display their own reliability and capability
🐇 always trying to "prove themselves" to their partner, love language is words of affirmation and acts of service. Makes promises and keeps them.
🪽 scared of letting their partner down and will always be thinking ahead, planning for the future, big on talking about and making plans.
🐇 flirts by being witty and sarcastic, lots of flirtatious bullying lol (I feel like this is all earth signs) says the meanest shit but it translates to "I LOVE YOU ACTUALLY!"
🪽 you maybe love to play with the idea of control in the bedroom, you definitely know what you want...
🐇 not likely to fall head over heels for someone in a love at first sight kind of way but once you've picked your person that's IT.
Lilith in Aries
✨ struggles with the idea of asserting themselves for "self centered" reasons...
🌼 you were maybe told as a child not to be selfish when you were really just advocating for yourself and now you've taken it to heart and feel deep inner turmoil when you do assert your own wants/interests
✨ maybe have a lot of trouble saying no especially because...
Venus Capricorn/ Lilith Aries
🐇 the combination of Capricorns feelings of responsibility to their partners and your Aries Lilith's troubled feelings about asserting yourself maybe mean you really fear saying no to those you love, you may be scared of letting them down or disappointing them.
✨ you may find yourself trapped in a cycle of endlessly giving and giving and giving, grinning and baring anything that might make you feel not great until you can't hold it in or take it anymore. Then you'll assert yourself (the way your Capricorn placement is very very capable of doing!!!) In an extreme burst which you then regret... You regret it so much that you'll apologise, take all the blame, won't allow yourself to reflect and realise why you snapped or that your own needs ARE important too, and will double your efforts to right your perceived wrong.
🐇 maybe in sex too, you'll be more of a giver and struggle to open up about your own likes and dislikes... You might even find yourself considering engaging in activities that don't really do it for you because its what you think your partner wants.
✨ I feel like your Aries Lilith is in such sharp contradiction with your Venus Capricorn, and yet at the same time kind of the same. Both push you towards endless giving without a thought for yourself... But your Aries Lilith directly contradicts the Capricorn strength to stand up and assert themselves...
🐇this is kinda sad because Capricorns can assert themselves quite naturally, and you may find that you do assert yourself accidentally and spend a lot of time upset with yourself for behaving "badly" only no one else would view you as bad for asserting your own wants, youre just deeply scared of coming off as selfish...

CONGRATS TO ONE OF THE BEST AUTHORS HERE, MY DEAREST FRIEND JESS!!!! U DESERVE THIS & SO MUCH MORE, MY LOVE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
for the event: can i pls ask u to ship me with a jjk character! tyyy! <33
okay, so, abt me: uhhh, i'm an intj with zodiac leo sun, gemini moon & scorpio rising. i'm an ambivert who prefers a happy kind of chaos or no chaos at all. and my music tastes are rly rly varied, like one day, i can be listening to cruel summer or bubblegum bitch and the next, i might be listening to lover or a thousand years. also, i love love love reading books and watching shows where there are themes of long lasting love which overcomes every obstacle thrown it's way. [but the romance shouldn't be the main focus] [rn i'm watching the untamed]
tysm jess!! ilysm!! keep being the cool person u always are! 🥰🥰
hi hi kit my beloved !!!! thank you so much <33333 !!! it means a lot coming from u :( ilysm
join the sleepover !
ok ok ,,… I’m leaning towards either yuji or nanami !!!
with yuji i think you guys would have SO much fun together causing chaos and leaving a wake of sunshine and happiness wherever y’all go <3 he is very extroverted so he’ll love hanging out with others and going out but he knows as soon as your social battery is getting low and will get you two home before you can feel drained , doesn’t mind catering to your needs when you’re feeling a little more introverted ,, thinking late nights watching the shows you love and the two of you dissecting everything together as you chow down on some popcorn ,,, i also headcanon he has a super wide taste in music and will always be able to jam out to whatever music you’re feeling for the day !!!
for nanami it’s a more relaxed relationship but you definitely bring out a more playful side of him ,, he’s pulling pranks on gojo with you and he’s giggling alongside you :3 for nanami it’s much more you brining put his extroverted side and the two of you leaving the function after an hour or two because you’d rather go home and cook dinner and be in bed early with enough time to get a good cuddle in before both of falling asleep ,, you two definitely read together !!! will listen to you talk about what you’re reading for hours on end and won’t get tired of hearing you (he predicts the ending ages before you do)
