I saw you added ATLA the the list and I got excited!! Maybe let’s start with HCs for...Aang with a pregnant reader after the war? (Aged up to like 20) Just some fluffy stuff :) Also no hate to any ships of the show!

:0 ooo we starting fluffy! I hope you enjoy!

****************************************

Once the war was over everything was so surreal you almsot thought you were dreaming

And finally you were with Aang. You both promised each other that after peace was restored you could officially be together

Not only are you both happily together and about to get married, but you were expecting your first child

If anything Katara was the first to notice, since her grandmother showed her many medical points she was the first to say something

Just by symptoms and changes in your behavior or features she could tell

“So what are you going to name it?”

“Name what?” You were both confused

Katara just chuckled and said “the baby, duh”

You thought for a second and realized, you were late....very late

Aang fainted

You had gone to a nearby doctor to confirm your suspicions and it was true

You were pregnant, but you two couldn’t be happier

He takes such good care of you

Holds your hair back when you have morning sickness even though it’s gross.. :3

Makes sure to stock up on food for your cravings

Of course Sokka asks

“...aren’t you like 120 years old? So does that mean your kids can call your grandpa already?”

“Sokka!” Katara ended up smacking his head with a water tentacle

He speaks to your belly every night telling them about your adventures and what it was like to be the Avatar. Massages your aches and pains and even puts in some element to help

He would slightly heat up his hands if you have cramps for headaches. He likes to have you face him when sleeping so he could look down at the growing bump

Even though he was excited, seeing your belly get bigger made him worry. Worry about you, the future and how he would be as a father

Definitely asked previous Avatars for advice for the coming child

He likes to feel the baby kicking and moving inside you

“Do you think they’re practicing in there? Maybe they’ll be the next avatar too!”

Aang was definitely the same boy at heart just older.

He helps to build the nursery and decorate it. He hangs up traditional Air Tribe artifacts and trinkets to keep the culture alive and in the baby’s life

doesn’t care for the gender as long as they’re happy and healthy

He hopes the baby looks like you but you’re convinced the baby would have his adorable ears and smile

“Hey baby, I’m your dad. I can’t wait for you to join us. You’ve got aunts and uncles who are gonna love you! Not as much as me though!”

****************************************

This was short but sweet I hope you liked it :)

Finished Tad William’s “The Dragonbone Chair”, the first part of the “Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn” trilogy.

I really wanted to like this book and I’m not sure I did. There were some very interesting and well done things and others that either bored me or frankly irritated me.

We can start with the obvious for the things I didn’t like: pace.

Almost nothing happens in the entire first third of this book. Or rather, quite a bit seems to be happening, but it’s all background events and we’re stuck inside the dumb teenage boy main character’s head who is mainly concerned with getting scolded for not sweeping the floors. The awareness that there were interesting things going on but I was stuck reading Simon’s mind-numbingly boring daily tasks quickly made me feel annoyed with the whole book and I nearly dropped it. This doesn’t go on for the first two chapters, it goes on for some ten chapters and never seems to end.

Even when the story picks up after Simon leaves the castle it takes quite a bit of time before it reaches a normal pace and we follow Simon stumbling around the forest for way too long too.

The other thing I really didn’t like was the church.

Here’s the thing - the last 3-4 fantasy books I’ve all have really poorly thought out copies of the Catholic Church. It’s a thing that fantasy authors do - they apparently seem to believe their story will be missing something crucial if the catholic church isn’t there, wearing a different hat. Why? No idea. It’s always lazy and always annoying, but at least in some of these books the “totally not the Catholic Church” serves a purpose or is even central to the story, or the author tries to change it in some significant way. I can tolerate it there. Here? Here it’s the catholic church with names and symbols switched out and it’s cringey and painful and so far serves no purpose whatsoever. It completely takes me out of the story

I mean I get it that fantasy authors looked at Tolkien and saw a pseudo-medieval world and wondered why there wasn’t a church (although God is flat out stated to exist, which is not the case for many of these other fantasy worlds) and all decided to include one or multiple churches in their works for....realism? I guess? But they seem to forget that they’re not writing the middle ages, not even remotely, they’re writing made-up worlds with pseudo medieval aesthetics and if those churches don’t add any thing to them, then they don’t need to be there. Particularly if, as is the case here, they are so close to something from the real world that it doesn’t feel at all like they fit the world they’re in.

Connected to the church thing, but a smaller irritation was unnecessary renaming of things, particularly of the months. Just call October October, or call it something completely different. Octander or whatever it was is just stupid.

Then there’s the other big issue: female characters.

Normally I give older books a pass on this one. This was published in 1988. It’s not an “older book” to me. And therefore it has no excuse for what it does with its female characters.

In all of its almost seven hundred pages of meandering there are maybe four female characters with speaking roles, most of whom are only around for a small portion of the book. The first is Rachel, who runs the castle servants and is sort of Simon’s mother figure, the second is Miriamele who is a textbook Rebel Princess disguised as a boy, the third is Vorzheva, who is the good prince’s shrieking shrewish hysterical foreign wive and there’s one other whose name I can’t recall who is in love with a count and her brother and father die I think.

Rachel is fine, I suppose, for what she does, she’s not meant to be a major character or anything as far as I can tell. Vorzheva drives me up the walls because her particular stereotype is one I can’t stand. The one whose name I can’t remember I actually liked. And Miriamele...ugh. Simon falls in love with Miriamele almsot from the moment he discovers she is a girl (but not before of course!) and it’s every annoying teenage romance ever. She doesn’t return his feelings yet, but the reader is left with no doubt that she will eventually. Maybe if we got Miriamele from her own POV it would be less annoying, but from Simon’s...yeah, no.

Finally, there is Simon himself.

Simon is bland, Simon is boring, Simon has no outstanding character traits that I can think of other than the apparent inability to concentrate on anything and asking lots of questions. I have no interest in Simon whatsoever. I’m willing to tolerate orphan farmboy stories if the farmboy himself is at least remotely interesting, which Simon really really isn’t. I’m still willing to give him a chance, maybe he gets better later on (Rand certainly did), but in this book I wished I was reading this from the POV of any character but Simon.

Alright, this is getting long, but on to the things I liked.

Binabik and Qantaqa! What a breath of fresh air! I think if these two hadn’t shown up when they did I might have actually dropped the book. I love them, they’re fun to read and fun to be around. It’s a new take on trolls too. Binabik reminds me, strangely enough, of Dersu Uzala, which has no relation to this at all, but hey Dersu is a cool character too. Binabik and Qantaqa were the soul of this book and I doubt it would have been salvageable without them.

Another thing I liked were the more surreal scenes, in particular Simon’s dreams and the whole escape from the Hayholt sequence, which was by far my favorite part of the whole book. The tunnels were fascinating, terrifying and appropriately claustrophic...and Simon promptly forgets all he saw there once he gets out. Which I felt was a huge waste.

Lots of people praise Williams’ writing to high heavens. I mostly thought it was ok, it at least tries to be pretty, although it definitely overdoes things sometimes. I don’t think it’s amazing, but it’s fine.

So, final veredict for a way too long review: average or below average book.

If I call it below average it’s because it’s way too long to do so little. Fantasy authros really need to remember that LOTR is 1000 pages total if you remove the appendices, not 1000 pages for each part.

The things that annoyed me really annoyed me, so I’m not sure I’m picking up the next one any time soon. I haven’t completely given up on this series, but I’m not sure I want to invest this much time in a meh book so soon after this one.

ok so I've had time to process the night and day6 is everything i was expecting and more. they very handsome and the souded great. they played all the good ones and you can tell they were really getting good vibes from the audience and honestly we were going crazy. there was sometimes when fans would be screaming when day6 was talking and that got me mad but what can you do.

the fan meet itself was great and the games were fun, I learned that sungjin likes toast more than pancakes, young edgelord likes sunny days more than rainy days, dowoon likes suv bc they safer than sports cars, wonpil likes romcoms (which totally fits him!!) and jae...he likes Harley Quinn more than wonder woman and I am v disappointed.

the performances were great, the light sticks are so cute, and I can't wait for my lanyard to come in the mail!!!

they made a special day6 in la vlog and my heart....their street casual fashion is so cute. snapback pil is a THING, dowoon looked like a man in the vid i almsot didnt recognize him, sungjin my heart i cant even descrfibe it honestly, brian wore the jean jacket with roses on it and i couldnt take it. they were all exploring la and all i could have thought about is that they were having fun and jae was home.

now hi touch....

I was trying to think of something to say and honestly I couldn't find a way to express how much I love day6 into 2 seconds

jae shook my hand and I just kinda threw up my words trying to say thank you and I love you

dowoon I hi fived... and bowed like a fucking idiot

brian,,,i looked him in the eye and he looked me in the eye and he was like o! and i ran off. he is so attractive irl and his smile is so nice and I'm so weak.

wonpil...if im gonna be honest...i don't remember I was still trying to process that I made eye contact with brian

sungjin I was finally able to make words and I was able to get out an I love you and he smiled at me and said thank you!!

the members are all so nice and sweet and i love them all and i cant believe i made an idiot out of myself to the loves of my life but its so surreal. like they aren't just people I watch on my laptop...they are real humans. and jaes speech was so nice and when he was talking about how happy he was to perform in his home town i really felt it.

when day6 performed I smile all myday held up the banners and Brian honestly looked so shocked. I'm really happy we were able to make them happy

hi sweetie how is the virus affecting you? are you under quarantine? we just got put under state quarantine and ur tags are what are keep me positive

ah thank you for checking in with me. i hope you have all the supplies you need and are staying healthy and safe!! I know 2020 is shaping up to be the LITERAL WORST but hang in there bby this too will pass 💖💖💖

i live in east asia, so the quote unquote worst of the virus has passed. schools are tentatively slated to restart late next month and 90% of the workforce is slated to go back into offices before may depending on if the influx of returning international students is going to exacerbate the infection rates right now. ive been under quarantine from the start of chinese new year until like 2 weeks ago when the mandatory quarantine was lifted. legit was about to go stir crazy for that month and a half tbh. pro tip: sit by a sunny window and make sure ur wifi is up to snuff. go ham over the tv shows you were meant to watch. I binged bv4 and caught up on all my youtube videos and then watched the crown and chernobyl it was great. keep up ur exercise even if ur at home for the foreseeable future. don’t be like me and literally get winded the first time you walk out of the apartment and literally almsot pass out climbing two flights of stairs bc you did nothing but lie in ur bed being stupid for 7 weeks.

my work unfortunately is under the 10% that won’t be returning before the summer, but ive been working from home since the usual end of chinese new year break so im not too affected now than I was before. we can leave the building now without too much limitation, but we still need to tag in w qr codes everytime we enter a building and get our body temps scanned, and I need to carry my passport w me at all times.

I’m really just happy I can leave the house for a couple hours every week and see the city marginally alive again. like sure it’s prickly when you get a temp gun pointed at you every couple blocks (im an american i don’t do well when i see any kind of gun anywhere near me), and you can’t see anyone faces, and there is marked distance between everyone, and almost all the surfaces that are commonly touched covered in plastic or smelling of recent disinfectants, but the city survived the worse of it. im so relieved bc it was kinda surreal seeing how such a busy city just immediately turned into a ghost town within 24 hours when the virus first broke out and for the month after it.

imo, the worse part of this entire thing is how much politics and fake news and systematic distrust in the government is muddying the waters and tinting the public health response. now isn’t the time to let petty arguments or mass hysteria get in the way and i kinda wanna reach thru the tv glass and shake the politicians and people panic buying toilet paper (why??? why is THAT the thing you hoard?????) so they can regain some common sense. i mean i can’t really complain bc the city is being lauded as a shining city on a hill on how to survive a pandemic, but really we can do better fam. stop infighting and squabbling over fucking toilet paper.

tldr; me and my family are safe and healthy and taking many safety measures, as is the rest of the city. im honestly a lot more worried about the rest of my friends, who live in places that are heavily impacted and are going into quarantine now, or live in places that don’t know or don’t care to have the safety measures in place. it’s weird being on the other side when literally 2 weeks ago they were the ones always texting me to make sure im doing ok, but i want to be there for them the way they were there for me during times when I felt like crawling up the walls or doing something stupid or really feared for the future and became a debbie downer. hang in there everyone!! this too shall pass. im cheering for you!!

#my laptop is acting up again im sorry i couldnt add a read more :( #in other news; im happy to talk to angone who is struggling w this. i know its not fun and everyone is worried and anxious #and its good to talk thru this things #puts stuff in perspective and less overwhelming #hang in there everyone!!!! #wash ur hands practice social distancing and stop touching ur face! #coronavirus #ans

Coming from the 1D fandom into the BTS fandom is such a surreal experience...Tonight I feel that more than ever and feel the need to put it into words. While I will always love 1D with all my heart, BTS members seem to give so much more of themselves. Tonight, they cried their hearts out and poured their love and appreciation onto fans to no end. They held individual speeches about how thankful they are - yet they already thank fans almsot everyday through their presence on social media. Weekly, they make v-live shows for us to enjoy – sharing so much of their personalities and how they have fun as a group. Daily, they remind us of their love and show us tidbits of what they are up to. In contrast, 1D’s social media-presence was almost non-existant, almost all non-concert related content was advertisement or sponsored, after 2012, basically, we got no content form them that wasn’t related to their tour/other merchandise/sponsor-projects. I am not saying that artists are obliged to give what BTS are giving - in fact, I was the happiest 1D fan ever. I loved exactly how 1D were and what they did, I felt loved by them and I felt that they appreciated fans. It is just that BTS seem to want to give so, so, so, so much more. They are so humble and thankful. They are thankful in a way I have never seen, and feel so blessed to be seeing now. BTS blow my mind in how they interact with fans and what they give back to us. I feel more loved since being their fan. And I feel like they’d be so happy if they knew that, bc I think that is exactly what they would want me to feel. I just wanted to say that.

#rambling #lol #my first #but yes #i had so many thoughts in my head after this concert #I couldn't not write it #bts #ot7 #i stan angels

The galleys are here, for real, and it feels surreal!!! FYI: galleys are uncorrected, almsot done, paper cover (as opposed to hardcover that the book will actually be in), used to send to reviewers before publication. Feeling extra grateful today to all the individuals and groups that pushed me to write and made this happen. From my amazing agent @spinningkates and the team at @mwliterary, my editor @lauramazer, publicist Sharon, and all the teams @sealpress, @basic_books, and of course @hachettebooks --- to all the individual friends that helped across the way. Love you all! Photocred: @anders_wo (at Basic Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHA4faFhvC/?igshid=vl8i2n732fvg

REQUESTS ARE OPEN YAY! You lovely being you❤❤❤ I know it wasn't on the prompt list but.. could I request Bakugou and his crush going rollerskating/blading for a first date? Anyways have a wonderful day🥰

Don’t worry prompt lists are just in case you’d like it from there. I take regular too! Please enjoy! And NO UR THE LOVELY BEING!❤️😤

*Ding dong*

Bakugou rang the doorbell to your home waiting for the door to open. When opened he was greeted with your younger sister. She said nothing but stare at the blonde

“Uuh, your sister home?“ he asked not knowing what to say

“Y/N! Your boyfriend is here!“ she called out as she walked away from the door. A blush creeping up his cheeks, then hearing your footsteps come down the hall

“Can you be a little polite once in a while?“ you come to door and put your shoes on. You wore a crop-top, with ripped jeans and sneakers. He was never really a fan of dresses and all that, but you knew how to rock a pair of jeans. Once you turn around he sees you wearing very light natural make up, not that you needed any.

he wore his signature black T-shirt and jeans. He also got a sweater with him just in case we got cooler at night.As simple as his outfit was he really looks good in it. the way his shirt hugs and defined his muscles really did catch the eye.

You smile at him “Ready to go?”

“Y-yeah, let’s go” he stepped aside to allow you to come out. Bakugou didn’t know how to interact with you. He wanted to so badly but he sucked with words, especially nicer ones. You had been his crush since the sports festival. You only won two rounds but your fighting was intense and smart. He thought it was the hottest thing ever.

On top of everything else you were also beautiful, and smart. He never told anyone but you were exactly his type. It took a lot of courage to ask you on a date without cursing. He had made you a bento with a note that said

“Go out with me........please....”

Not only was the attempt cute but his cooking was amazing! By the end of the day when he was about to walk home you walk up to him. You give him a smile and have him back the same note. You walk away and let him open it for himself

“Okay :)”

Walking down the street you weren’t sure how to start the conversation. Instead you asked

“So, what’s the plan?”

“Huh? Oh uh, a new roller rink opened up and I thought it would be fun to go there”

Your eyes widen to what such a fun place come form him. You’d expect something like paintball, or an arcade. Instead you get something pretty wholesome.

You made it to the roller rink after about a ten minute walk. The smell of new shoes and rubber fill the air. The music beating through the air and into your ear. You follow Katsuki inside where he was being tended by the worker. You watched as other people glided across the floor, almsot like magic. They were so graceful almost as if they were flying.

Then it hit you and your smile fell.

You couldn’t skate. You start to panic internally. You had just ruined the date all on your own! He was being so sweet and selfless tonight and you screw it up! Damn it!

A warm sensation pulled you from your thoughts. You look to It’s source in your hand and see his in yours. You eyes shoot up to his

“You okay? You spaced out a little” he asked leading you over to the bench. You sit next to him as he slips on his skates

“W-well um I didn’t want to say anything but I um...can’t skate” you mumble the last part

“What? I didn’t hear the last part”

You sucked up the courage and said “I can’t skate” bluntly looking at him. He had the straightest, monotone face you’d ever seen. He stood up and offered you his hand

“You could have said something sooner but I guess I could teach ya” he said with a blush creeping on to his cheeks. You bite your lip and take his hand, carefully you stand up. You grip on his hand was like a toddler holding his mother while learning to walk.

He takes both hands in his as he skates backwards. Now Bakugou had a serious face but deep down inside he was screaming with joy! He was finally holding the hands of his crush. She was blushing and was looking cuter than ever! He doesn’t even recognize himself, but that’s okay.

“How ya feeling?” He looked up you as other pass you both.

“Um a little shakey” you chuckle. He thought for a moment as he switches to your side. He intertwined his finger with yours and he whispered

“Just hold on” he felt your hand grip his a bit tighter. He smirks to himself feeling as though you wanted him to protect you.

As you glide across the wax floor you made small talk. You spoke about your favorite hobbies, inspirations and hopes. You hadn’t realized that your hand had separated from his.

“Wait really? That’s your fear?” He asked a bit shocked

“Yeah, I know. Usually people see me and think that I’m confident in my studies but truth is that I have a fear of failure. I can’t stand to speak in front of people and have a bad reaction. I get all shaken up and nervous. Ugh such a mess!” You exclaimed, an embarrassing glow in your cheeks appeared. 

You both clicked so well you didn’t want this night to end. After skating for a while you both exit the rink and hand in your skates. There was a photo-booth and you couldn't resist. You pull him inside and sit down, the first two pictures only you smiled which disappointed you a bit.

Once the timer for the last two started he pulled you into his side and gently smirked.That one had to be your favorite. 

The next one came as a surprise. He gazed at you, taking your chin between his thumb and index finger, and kissed you. the kiss lasted even after the flash had gone off. You were dazed from his actions also how gentle he was in the kiss. 

But he pulled away seemed like it was only due to the world. He cooked one side of your face and stroke your cheek bone with his son. He had never seen him this gentle or soft. It was strange and new, but it you liked it. 

He must have noticed your stare he cleared his throat “it’s um..getting late. I should take you home“

“Y-yeah maybe we should“ he takes your hand i his and you make your way back home. It was now sunset, and the sky was a beautiful orange, golden color. The cool breeze ran through your hair and gave you a surreal look.

Bakugou felt his heart pound against his chest, his blood rushing through his ears. Was this the feeling when you’re with someone? He stops for a second to take his sweater off and wrap it around your shoulders

“I saw you shaking before, just keep it” he says bluntly. You feel your chest full with warmth and happiness. Were you finally the person to break through his cold persona? Possibly

You made it to your doorstep where you waited for the door to be answered. You face him and smile up at him

“I had a lot of fun today, thank you” he looked to the side not wanting to blush more than he is already

“Y-yeah, let’s uhm... do this again sometime” he turned to leave but stopped himself and turned.

He pecks your lips and takes his leave. You niggle deeper into his sweater as you head inside. Your heart full and happy

I hope this was okay!❤️
