For this Japan Expo 2023, I may not have a booth myself but I was tasked with redecorating Kawa-Soft's booth!
I designed a new costume for their mascot and illustrated the 3 aspects of their group: Translating, both books and video games.

s : he was awful, you didn't even want iwa!
"dont be so.. mean.." You cried on your knees in front of him with your head hung, knowing it would be embarrassing for him to see you. your hands shaking in your lap at every tap of his shoes against the floor. he looked down at you with a soft smile, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. "im being mean? Oh yn, you've got it all wrong!" oikawa laughed, his eyes going back to staring at his phone. you grabbed his knee and raised your head. "i didnt kiss him!" you whined, placing your head on his knees. his hand immediately grasped your hair as he put his phone down, looking down at you as if you had done something wrong. "why not beg for me to believe you?" he said, bending his once straight back to kiss you. "actually, what you can do is ride my shoe!" he smiled, his eyes drifting down to your surprised expression. "You dont have to use your pretty little head for something like this." he whispered, tapping your head. his facial expression changing quicker than you expected it to. "waah.. kawa.. so mean, " you whimpered, tears running down your face as you began to hump his shoe, whining in a mix of pleasure and pain. your hands clutching your shirt while you listened to him talk,
"You're so stupid, it's so cute," he giggled. You could hear the sound of him taking a picture of your tear ridden face. "What if i sent this to the whole school?" he asked, placing his hand on his thigh. "Wait.. please!." You gasped, grinding harder as he shook his foot underneath you. the feeling of his shoe against your barely covered crotch had you reeling. he wanted you to beg for him to touch you. you began to choke on your sobs, "i.. gunna cum, kawa. so close" but he payed no mind to your warning while he untied his shorts, dipping his hand into his underwear. "hold on, stay still ynie" he sighed, you were getting too quiet. "kawa.. " you sniffled, your chest visibly moving as began to cry again "keep crying, slut." oikawa glared, squeezing the fat of your cheeks together. you hiccuped as he stood up "c'mon.. suck me off" he smiled, tapping his cock against your cheek. you stuck your tongue out, giving him access to everything, he placed his hand on your head and pushed you down. the sound of your gagging made him laugh, "everyone is gonna see this.." he said, pulling out and doing it again. you began to cry even more, placing your hands on his thighs, incoherent cries came out of your stuffed mouth as he continued to use you to his liking.
"You.. you're so annoying- uhn.." oikawa moaned, throwing his head back, the hand that was in your hair slapped you softly. "Swirl your tongue, you know what to do." he demanded, annoyed. you wanted him to listen and forgive you, You wanted to cum, he was so mean to you. "Hey! less crying, more sucking." he whined, slapping you harder than before. you closed your eyes and sniffled, trying to do everything he asked you to. he gave up on telling you anything and took it into his hands, fucking your face until you scrambled to get away. "uuhg fuck" You coughed, finally able to breathe. "i tell you this all the time. breathe through your nose!" he slurred, shoving your head back down. as the camera focused, it showcased the tears rolling down your face as you tried to breathe and the way you struggled to suck him off correctly. " you're pathetic. " oikawa grumbled, pushing you away. "i always gotta do the work myself, hum?" he asked, audibly upset. "m' sowwy. i really am, " you sputtered, looking up at him with glossed and fogged over eyes. he threw his phone behind him after he had stopped recording to fuck his own hand. "can't even get proper head.. even mad dog does a better job than you!" he groaned, throwing his head back as he got himself off. his strokes got faster, curses spewing out of his mouth before he painted your face. "ugh, you're beautiful like this, but you aren't good at anything." you shook your head at his mean words, trying to convince him that you weren't useless." i can do somethin i promise, kawa!.." you cried, hands coming up to wipe your tears. "dont touch! let me take a few pictures.. 'kay?" he smirked, watching it drip down your face and onto your chest. He picked his phone back up and took a few close ups of your face, kissing you in the midst of two of them. "see, you're much better when you're quiet like this, like the little mutt you are." oikawa sighed. he picked his shorts up and grabbed his stuff, patting your head. "see ya, slut." he said, walking out of your room, making a dramatic exit. "toru, you bastard.. hic" your breath shook as you wiped your face off, struggling to think. you could still hear him, as quiet as he tried to be, talking to somebody unimportant.
he was too mean, but you liked it.

LIAR!
Tumblr media
gn!reader | established relationship, reader teasing hajime, just some fluff in bed :-)
Tumblr media
iwaizumi wishes the effect you had on him wasn’t so maddeningly obvious.
it would have been one thing if only he knew, or if everyone but you knew—he could deal with the knowing looks and playful nudges from his friends every time he mentioned your name in passing. but unfortunately for him, you were just as aware as the rest of the world that iwaizumi hajime had a soft spot for you and only you.
this was true from the moment you met and he stuttered while introducing himself, to the first date where he let the door slam his fingers at the sound of your laugh, to right now as he forced himself not to look at your pleading face. he knew—the both of you knew if he did, there was only one possible outcome.
“hajime.” your voice calls from the other side of the bed.
hajime tenses slightly before replying with as level a voice as he can muster, “babe.”
“just once? please?”
he lets out a breath. “this won’t work on me.”
“are you sure?”
“yes.” liar.
“liar,” you echo his thought, amusement clear in your voice.
hajime almost laughs.
the mattress dips behind him, and the blanket is loud in your otherwise quiet bedroom as you shift closer. “are you sure?”
this time you’re only met with silence.
your boyfriend was a terrible liar around you, and no response was the easy way out.
“come on, haji,” you drawl, moving even closer. hajime can feel the warmth of your breath against his neck, and watches as your hands come to hold him from behind. they smooth the folds of his shirt and one runs up and down his side, pulling him even closer into your chest. his breath hitches when you squeeze his waist.
it’s when you press your lips to the nape of his neck and plant a soft kiss that he involuntarily groans, smushing his face into the pillow.
“pretty please?” you teasingly smile, and he can feel it—imagine it and the look in your eyes as if you were facing him instead. “i promise i won’t ask again.”
“now who’s the liar?” he scoffs and finally turns to look at you.
you snicker and press your lips together, fighting back a smile. getting him to turn around was 3/4 of the battle. “i don’t know what you’re talking about?”
"yes you do—babe, your hands are cold—" he laughs despite himself when you sneak your hands under his shirt. "god, okay, okay, okay."
your hands freeze where they are, and there’s an accomplished gleam in your eyes that he’s come to know well. “yeah, yeah, just this one time. now get your hands off and stop looking at me like that already—”
“‘m not looking at you any differently—”
“yes you are.”
“i’m looking at you with the same amount of innocence as always.”
“shush.” he huffs before pulling your head under his chin. he can feel your laughter against his skin, and when your hands come back to wrap around him again—over his shirt—he melts into your touch. 
“you’re so annoying,” hajime tells you, not an ounce of annoyance in his voice, but with an almost embarrassing amount of softness.
“i won’t ask again.”
“mhm.”
“promise.”
he squeezes your hip. “liar.” you might as well have put two crossed fingers in front of his face. but you kiss his collarbone, and he can't be bothered to complain again when you reply, “i know.”
Tumblr media
! gonna b so fr w u guys i never had a question in mind for what u asked. i did try coming up w smth but i see hajime saying yes to doing basically anything so. think whatever ud like my friends 🫶

Tumblr media
to oikawa, you’re everything. you’re the love of his life, his dream come true, everything he’s ever wanted. you’re his sweet angel girl, his baby, his princess.
and he never hesitates to show you off to the whole world. he always posts pictures of you in his stories and his instagram, tweets about you several times a day and talks about nothing but you when he’s with others. anyone who knows him, is aware of how he’s willing to lay the world to your feet if you just asked for it.
yet…whenever it’s just the two of you, he turns into the complete opposite and you can’t believe just how obsessed you are with it.
everyone around you – even the whole world – knows him as a sweet, attentive and caring partner, which is probably why it’s so much more alluring, so much more dazzling to see this other side to him.
because whenever oikawa’s got your hands tied to the headboard with your pretty body put on complete display for him to use as he pleases, that’s when he turns into the oikawa tooru only you know.
“look at you, princess”, a soft chuckle follows his words and for a moment you forget the feeling of frustration rushing through your veins, only to let out a loud sob once the realization hits you again.
“you’re such a fucking crybaby”, oikawa scoffs and rolls his eyes, your thighs neatly placed over his as he nudges your sensitive clit with the leaking tip of his rock hard cock.
your body reacts to the brief stimulation with a quick arch of your back and a row of breathy whimpers, not one coherent word leaving your lips.
you have absolutely no idea how long he’s been edging you, but you can feel the damp spot on the sheets right underneath your cunt every time you move.
“stop fucking squirming.”
your brain barely manages to process his words before you feel the harsh pain of a firm spank on your cunt sending you even deeper into the haze of absolute pleasure. even more tears start streaming down your temples and without even hesitating a single second, oikawa lands another hard spank on your sensitive flesh.
“t-tooru”, it’s slurred and the only thing to leave your lips in between sobs, yet exactly what your boyfriend has been waiting for.
“huh? are you crying even more now? oh, my goodness! mean ‘kawa, mean ‘kawa! the baby’s crying because she’s not getting what she wants, hmph!”
his words, the his gaze and his face are dripping in mockery as he never once averts his eyes from yours to make sure you know he’s making fun of you and even if your cunt starts clenching in response to him, you can’t help but push your lips into a pout and whimper.
you love the way he looks at you when he’s in his element, and despite feeling like you’re about to pass out from frustration, you feel every bit of your body enjoy his teasing.
“please, tooru”, you ignore him and arch your back again, moaning at the feeling of his tip so close to your soaking wet cunt, “i can’t t-take it.”
this time he doesn't just chuckle. oikawa smiles right before he throws his head back and bursts into actual laughter at your words, one of his hands casually pumping his big cock in the meantime and you can’t hold back the sigh of frustration anymore.
“y-y-you c-c-can’t t-t-take it? oh, no! what are we gonna do now?”
within just a minute, tooru switches from amused to strict, his smile disappears as he reaches for your face and grabs it with his free hand to make you look right into his eyes.
"do you want me to untie you so you can go and fuck your little whorehole like the slutty brat you are, hm? is that what you want, angel girl? or do you want to hump my pillow like a desperate whore and make an even bigger mess than you already have? come on, use those b-big girl words for me, will you?”
your body heats up even further with every single one of his words of absolute degradation and mockery, your brain is way too cloudy to register anything properly and at this point you’re far too distracted by the way he’s teasing your entrance with his tim every time he speaks.
“no”, the response comee quicker than either of you would expect, “wanna cum on your cock. please, tooru.”
“wanna do that, wanna do this, don’t wanna do this – how about i fuck some manners into that stupid princess brain of yours so you won’t ever forget how you’re supposed to talk to me, angel, hm? yeah, that sounds quite good to me”, you nod along with his words and agree to every single one of it as you take in the sight of his flushed cheeks and blown out pupils.
you know he’s been edging himself for just as long and after a day as long as this one, the professional athlete is craving the feeling of your sweet cunt around his cock.
maybe that’s why he doesn’t torture you any longer and just lets a thick drop of his spit fall onto the tip of his cock right before he pushes inside of your tiny cunt.
the stretch makes your head spin and you choke on the breath you’ve been holding for the past minute. and when he finally thrusts himself a little deeper inside of you, a loud, high pitched moan of his name falls past your lips, easily eliciting a deep growl from your lover.
“don’t you dare cum, baby”, he teases and bottoms out with one swift movement of his hips, “or i’m gonna make sure you’re gonna regret it. make me proud and do as you’re told, yeah?”
and how could you deny him a request as sweet as this one, when he’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of?

notes: idc if he's a teenage boy, oikawa smells nice i know it.
Tumblr media
At three a.m. exactly, you can hear the loud ricochet of pebbles off your window. You try to ignore it, you really do, but the noises get more aggressive with each passing second. It seems whoever is trying to get your attention isn't letting up.
With a small groan, you sit up and get out of bed. Trudging to your window, you don't even bother to look out of it as you open it. You open your eyes and scan, until it lands on a small brown patch of hair.
Oikawa is staring up at you with a boyish grin. His cheeks are flushed a light pink from the harsh October air and his glasses are slowly slipping down his nose.
"Hi sweetheart," he calls in a hoarse voice, shoving his hands in the pockets of his light blue hoodie, "mind letting me in?"
You can't help the small smile that breaks out on your face as you shut the window. You quickly make your way downstairs and open the door.
When Oikawa comes in, he tries to give you a kiss, but you stop him and point towards the stairs. He only looks at you and nods as you two tiptoe up the steps to your room, holding back shared mischievous giggles.
After you shut the door to your room, Oikawa wraps an arm around you and kisses you sweetly, your own arms loosely wrapping around his neck.
He tastes sweet, like amaretto coffee creamer, something you didn't find yourself enjoying until you met him.
"How is my sweet angel doing, huh?" he whispers against your lips, resting his forehead against his, "Miss me?"
"Tōru, I saw you earlier today," you respond in a giggle, "why are you here so late, huh? Don't you know I'm not supposed to have boys over?"
"What, a guy can't miss his boyfriend? That's blasphemous, babe," he replied with a smirk, letting his arm fall from your chest as he sits on your bed, "...I couldn't sleep." he admitted honestly.
You give him a soft look, turning off the light in your room and laying down on the bed. You open your arms and gesture to him.
He gives you another smile, taking off his glasses and shoes as he makes himself comfortable in your arms. His head resting under your chin while you hold him close.
You buried your face into his hair as you inhaled his scent, finding comfort in the way he smelt like freshly made cinnamon rolls on a cold day.
"I love you," Oikawa whispered against your skin, his eyes shutting whilst you ran your fingers through his hair, letting out a deep content sigh, "I'll never love anyone more than you...you're it for me."
A small giggle escaped past your lips as you put your chin on his head once again, "You're so sappy, Tōru."
"No, no I mean it," he said with conviction, pulling away from your neck and looking you in the eyes, "I love you more than life itself, I don't know what I'd do without you...you're it for me."
"Tōru, don't...don't say that," you replied softly, "love me and life equally...because life can be cruel, but life gave me you, and that's more than I could have ever wanted."
His cheeks flushed crimson as he looked at you, before he let out a laugh, "Geez, and I'm the sappy one...?" he asked, once he calmed down, the serious tone in hiw voice returned, "I just...I don't want to lose you, angel."
"You won't, Kawa," you replied, sticking out your pinkie, "I pinkie promise."
Oikawa looked down at your pinkie and then back up at your face, letting out a small giggle and interlocking his pinkie with yours, "Okay," he proclaimed, "okay, neither of us is going anywhere."
He lifted your interlocked pinkies and placed a gentle kiss on them, and then laid his face in the crook of your neck, giving you one last kiss on your collarbone.
"I love you baby." he whispered, his voice slurring slightly as his eyes becoming heavy with sleep.
"I love you too, 'ru," you whispered back with a small smile, hearing quiet snores in return, "sleep well."

𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐲 — 𝐁𝐒𝐃 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
◊ characters. akutagawa, oda, dazai, gn!reader
◊ genre. angst to fluff?
Tumblr media
— 𝐑𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐀𝐤𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐰𝐚
he swears it’s fine. the world beneath doesn’t feel like it’s crumbling at all and he swears his stomach his churning wildly. he can’t remember the last time he ate something substantial. akutagawa struggles to come to his senses and for a moment he pretends he isn’t about to collapse both mentally and physically.
you watch him carefully, staring at him as if he were ab immortalized art piece in a museum. “ryuu… you’re gonna be okay,” you murmured, reaching over to caress his misshapen hair and stroke his face.
akutagawa stares at you with wide eyes before, and for a very small second, you see glistening tears creeping into his tired eyes. and the next thing you know, he’s in your arms. you hold him tightly and promise not to let go. you can’t tell whether or not he’s crying anymore but you hug him as tight as he’ll allow.
— 𝐎𝐝𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐞
he leans against the wooden doorway, watching the little ones sleep against the pale moonlight. his eyes scan their beloved features and he thinks about the path he must take for their futures. they and you are his everything and his whole world. how young they seem in comparison to himself. oda shuts the door, wandering into your presence where you observe him fondly.
“what’s wrong, my love?” you whisper and he feels his facade crumble ever so slightly. the weight of the world gently descending in slow motion and suddenly oda’s in your arms. whatever it was he needed, you held him tightly, allowing him to be a little vulnerable.
oda clutches onto your shirt, holding you just as tight. the pleasantries of the evening now waning into nothing but a warm and twisting sort of sickly feeling. he murmurs a quiet thanks and you reciprocate it with a gentle squeeze.
— 𝐎𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐮 𝐃𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐢
he feels sick. he doesn’t know how much it shows on his face when he comes in late and receives another reprimanding. nor does he notice how unfocused he appears whilst gazing into the golden liquid in his glass. he smells of alcohol and canned crab. you can see it all unraveling in front of you and perhaps that’s your own breaking point.
dazai lays there, staring at the ceiling and thinking about… there’s really nothing for him to think about honestly. he just feels disgustingly neutral. that’s when you peer over him with a soft smile that has his stomach reeling again. you look at him with a delicate love that no one has ever stared at him before with. “osamu… ready to go home?”
and as dazai looks up at you, he finds his eyes grow a little glassy. your form begins to waver and tears cloud his vision. that’s when you hurriedly hug him, pressing him into your chest and shushing him as he clutches onto the back of your shirt and muffling his emotions in the crook of your neck.

Self care w/ me & you & you ♡
Tumblr media
Pairing: Haijme Iwaizumi x fem!reader x Tōru Oikawa
WC: 1.3k
Genre: fluff, so much fluff
CW: fem!reader, poly relationship, self care night with iwa & kawa, kissing, slight cursing
˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖
"A what?"
A loud gasp was heard from the one and only Tōru Oikawa.
"Iwa-chan! Are you serious? Haven't you ever heard of a lover's self-care night? Oh Y/n-chan! Our relationship is failing!" Oikawa dramatically sobbed on my shoulder.
"To be fair, it really isn't something that's heard of a lot, Oikawa." I tried to reason with him as Iwaizumi scoffed and kicked a pebble that was in his way of walking.
"But if you truly want to, then I'll do it, and so will Iwajime." I smiled at them both, which got me a cheer from Oikawa and a gruff remark from Iwa to Tōru.
"You guys are such little kids. Go and change already; I'm going to go get everything ready. This sleepover is at my house, correct?" I got a thumbs up from Oikawa.
"Alright, see you guys there!" I waved them off, but not before snatching Hajime's volleyball jacket from him and blowing an air kiss to him.
Being in a poly relationship with those boys is pretty hectic most of the time. It's like taking care of two children and making sure they do not kill each other at the same time.
But nevertheless, I still love those crackheads. I still remember when we all got together; Oikawa had actually tried to get Iwaizumi and me together, even though he liked the both of us.
He just wanted his best friend to be happy, even if he couldn't have his happiness.
Reminiscing about that always makes my heart flutter with endearment. When I confessed that I was actually infatuated with the both of them, it was as if I was elated in that moment.
And ever since then, we've been in a heavenly correlation.
I broke away from my relentless thoughts as I headed up the stairs towards my room after telling my parents that they were coming over this weekend.
To be honest, I wasn't really sure what Oikawa meant by 'a lovers self-care night' but I do know that it's probably going to have to deal with facial care and things like that.
Gathering skin care, blankets, snacks, and movies is definitely some type of workout, and I should get an award for it. I slumped myself onto my bed and caught my breath.
I wasn't really into doing anything, so I definitely have low stamina.
The finished product looked way better. I made a huge fort in the middle of my bedroom, and inside are my portable projector for movies, string lights that I hung up, and bowls of snacks for us to eat.
All that was basically missing were my boyfriends, dinner, and a shower. I grabbed my phone and quickly ordered two boxes of pizza.
I didn't have a clue why I was so frantic about this whole ordeal.
Possibly because Oikawa always has everything planned out cautiously. Which is one of his positive skills that also contributes to him being a great partner.
After the pizza had come, I decided to go ahead and take my shower before they got here. I'm pretty sure that Oikawa is going to show up in his alien onesie that I bought him for his birthday.
It's covered head to toe with lots of small alien heads on it, and at the hood, it's green with the aliens eyes and mouth.
Soon, when I was finished with my shower, I put on a new set of pajamas that I had randomly bought.
Its fabric is really soft and has crescent moons, silver small stars, and gold stars, with random dots here and there splattered all over it. I absolutely love it; it fits right in with my love for astrology.
As soon as I pressed the last button from my top, the doorbell rang, signaling that Iwaizumi and Oikawa were here. I quickly rushed down the flight of stairs, almost tripping on a few, and opened the front door.
"Hey guys, come in. I've already set everything up for tonight." I explained as they followed me slowly up the stairs to my room.
"You shouldn't have been in such a hurry to open the door; you could have fallen and hurt yourself, Y/n." Iwaizumi assertively said this to me with a pointed look.
"I know, I know. I'm just excited." I answered sheepishly.
"Baby, we could hear you from outside; trust me, we weren't going anywhere." I mean, who would pass up seeing a face as beautiful as mine?" Obviously Oikawa said.
"Me," Hajime answered, "Yeah, definitely me too." I agreed with him, which made Oikawa pout and turn away from us.
"What do you say? You want to run away without Oikawa?" Iwa joked to me, "Why yes, of course, it's not like we're all in a relationship and love each other unconditionally or anything." I sarcastically agreed with him once again.
"If this is your way of saying you're sorry, then I accept it." Tōru said, but he still had a pout on his face.
I gave Hajime a look, as if telling him it's his turn to kiss Oikawa for when he gets annoying and pouty like this. He rolled his eyes, grabbed Oikawa's right hand, and yanked him down a bit for a kiss.
When he pulled away, his cheeks bloomed into a rosy pink tint, as did Tōru's.
I smiled wide when I saw them kiss. It's something that they always get nervous and flustered about.
"I see you smiling over there, Y/n. Don't think you're off the hook just yet." Iwaizumi said that and tugged my long sleeve over to them.
They both started attacking my face with kisses everywhere, built up laughter bubbled inside of me till I let it out.
"Okay! Okay! We better stop before this escalates to something unwholesome." I pulled away from their pecks and smiled at them. Tōru's face was basically saying, 'Can we please let it escalate?'
I glared at him for having indecent thoughts and engulfed myself in Iwa's arms.
"Oh Iwa! Save me! Oikawa is thinking unholy thoughts!" I cried.
"Shittykawa, quit being nasty." Iwaizumi hit him on the arm, and I finally took time to look at his pajamas.
They were, of course, godzilla, but it was a long-sleeved black shirt with a manga page of godzilla on it in the middle. His bottoms were black and white plaid PJ pants.
"Alrighty, so I've got facemasks, nail polishes, a pillow fort, snacks, and movies." I said, clapping my hands together.
"Ooh! I want to do my nails and a facemask." Oikawa almost jumped at the thought of getting his nails done.
"Okay, anything you would want to do, Iwa?" I giggled at Toru's childishness.
"No, you two go do that. I'll turn on a movie," he said, turning around.
"If you say so, baby, alright, Tōru, let's get this facemask on you." I turned around and faced him, but he already had one out and prepped his nails, ready for me to paint them.
"Kawa, you're so cute," I complemented while getting my green nail polish out and painting little aliens on his nails.
When they were dry and his facemask was off, we found Iwa under the covers on his phone, waiting for us.
"Hi babes! What movie did you put in?" Oikawa asked Iwaizumi while showing him his nails.
"Shrek, I thought that you might want to see yourself on TV tonight." Iwa smiled at him as Kawa gasped.
As much as I wanted to laugh, I decided to say, "Hajime, please apologize to Tōru." I finished as I laid on Oikawa's chest while Iwa wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Sorry, honey," he said sarcastically, just in time for the movie to play. I'll never get tired of these types of nights.
Just me and my boyfriend's cuddling and watching a movie with the occasional teasing.

Protective- Iawzumi
(kinktober day 10)
Idk at this point but smut too
Head cannons
CW: Say it with me. He.Is.Aged.Up.About.In.His.20's. idk why I felt the need to say it like that,
AN: TBH these are just my thoughts and opinions soooooo Don't be mean. Also iwa is my favorite him and Kawa so don't think Okawa is left out okay? Because he's not, he's tomorrow 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽. Sorry I'll stop- enjoy!! Ps: this isn't fuckin proff read, like the rest and more to come🫰🏽🫶🏽🫰🏽🫶🏽♥️.
★MDNI★
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
★ Say it with me, iawzumi would be the best fuckin person to have as your boyfriend, (in my opinion of). My reasons??? First he'll put a bitch in their place, (like he did Oikawa, tho Kawa's not a bitch.) Sure he's mor casual about it but he's not afraid to Kiss you in public to show some ass at that you're taken. No I'm not saying he's insecure about his place to your relationship. I'm saying he just needs the world to know to back the.fuck.off.🫶🏽
★Iwazumi gives off the vibes that hell beat a bitch up. Like don't get me wrong, but he's definitely that type of dues to casually and calmly tell someone off and make it look like a normal conversation.
★nie if creeps are still being weird, hell just you know have to show your husband, just it'll wait till tomorrow. When the bites and hickeys are more noticable. Like with my heart I believe he bites. Thighs,ass, chest/ breast, neck, shoulders, ect.. no place is safe. Marking is his favorite way to show your his.
★Iwa also likes to rail you yeat with soft words and praise. Like hell plant kisses and shit all over you. He'll also give you kisses on your neck and back. Just to pamper you a little while he makes your brain numb, but he also likes to leave your brain numb because you're most likely to slip out more moans that are for his ears alone.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
AN: Iwa-Channnnnnnn!!! Okay I'm done😶🤭-- but hopefully you liked this🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Kappa
A kappa is a reptiloid kami with similarities to yōkai found in traditional Japanese folklore. Kappa can become harmful when they are not respected as gods. They are typically depicted as green, human-like beings with webbed hands and feet and turtle-like carapaces on their backs. A depression on its head, called its "dish" (sara), retains water, and if this is damaged or its liquid is lost (either through spilling or drying up), the kappa is severely weakened.
Tumblr media
Pic by Duncan Hopkins
The kappa are known to favor cucumbers and love to engage in sumo wrestling. They are often accused of assaulting humans in water and removing a mythical organ called the shirikodama from their victim's anus.
The name kappa is a contraction of the words kawa (river) and wappa, a variant form of 童 warawa (also warabe) "child". Another translation of kappa is "water sprites". The kappa are also known regionally by at least eighty other names such as kawappa, kawako, kawatarō, gawappa, kōgo, suitengu.
It is also called kawauso 'otter', dangame 'soft-shelled turtle', and enkō 'monkey', suggesting it outwardly resembles these animals. The name komahiki or "steed-puller" alludes to its reputed penchant to drag away horses.
The kappa has been known as kawako in Izumo (Shimane Prefecture) where Lafcadio Hearn was based, and gatarō was the familiar name of it to folklorist Kunio Yanagita from Hyōgo Prefecture.
Kappa are said to be roughly humanoid in form and about the size of a child, inhabiting the ponds and rivers of Japan. Clumsy on land, they are at home in the water, and thrive during the warm months. They are typically greenish in color (or yellow-blue), and either scaly or slimy skinned, with webbed hands and feet, and a turtle-like carapace on their back. Inhuman traits include three anuses that allow them to pass three times as much gas as humans. Despite their small stature they are physically stronger than a grown man.
The kappa are sometimes said to smell like fish, and they can swim like them.
According to some accounts, a kappa's arms are connected to each other through the torso and can slide from one side to the other. While they are primarily water creatures, they do on occasion venture onto land. When they do, the "dish" on their head can be covered with a metal cap for protection.
A hairy kappa is called a hyōsube.
Kappa are usually seen as kami of the water. Their actions are from comparatively minor misdemeanors, such as looking up women's kimono if they venture too near to water, to outright malevolence, such as drowning people and animals, kidnapping children, raping women and at times eating human flesh. Though sometimes menacing, they may also behave amicably towards humans. While younger kappa are frequently found in family groups, adult kappa live solitary lives. However, it is common for kappa to befriend other yōkai and sometimes even people.
Folk beliefs claim the cucumber as their traditional favorite meal. At festivals, offerings of cucumber are frequently made to the kappa. Sometimes the kappa is said to have other favorite foods, such as the Japanese eggplant, soba (buckwheat noodles), nattō (fermented soybeans), or kabocha (Japanese pumpkin).
In Edo (old Tokyo), there used to be a tradition where people would write the names of their family members on cucumbers and send them afloat into the streams to mollify the kappa and prevent the family from coming to harm in the streams. In some regions, it was customary to eat cucumbers before swimming as protection, but in others it was believed that this act would guarantee an attack.
A cucumber-filled sushi roll is known as a kappamaki.
As water monsters, kappa have been blamed for drownings, and are often said to try to lure people into water and pull them in with their great skill at wrestling. They are sometimes said to take their victims for the purpose of drinking their blood, eating their livers, or gaining power by taking their shirikodama, a mythical ball said to contain the soul, which is located inside the anus.
Kappa have been used to warn children of the dangers lurking in rivers and lakes, as kappa have been often said to try to lure people to water and pull them in. Even today, signs warning about kappa appear by bodies of water in some Japanese towns and villages.
Kappa are also said to victimize animals, especially horses and cows. The motif of the kappa trying to drown a horse is found all over Japan.
Lafcadio Hearn wrote of a story in Kawachimura near Matsue where a horse-stealing kappa was captured and made to write a sworn statement vowing never to harm people again.
In many versions the kappa is dragged by the horse to the stable where it is most vulnerable, and it is there it is forced to submit a writ of promise not to misbehave.
It was believed that there were a few means of escape if one was confronted with a kappa. Kappa are obsessed with politeness, so if a person makes a deep bow, it will return the gesture. This results in the kappa spilling the water held in the "dish" (sara) on its head, rendering it unable to leave the bowing position until the plate is refilled with water from the river in which it lives. If a person refills it, the kappa will serve that person for all eternity. A similar weakness of the kappa involves its arms, which can easily be pulled from its body. If an arm is detached, the kappa will perform favours or share knowledge in exchange for its return.
Another method of defeat involves shogi or sumo wrestling: a kappa sometimes challenges a human being to wrestle or engage in other tests of skill. This tendency is easily used to encourage the kappa to spill the water from its sara. One notable example of this method is the folktale of a farmer who promises his daughter's hand in marriage to a kappa in return for the creature irrigating his land. The farmer's daughter challenges the kappa to submerge several gourds in water. When the kappa fails in its task, it retreats, saving the farmer's daughter from the marriage. Kappa have also been driven away by their aversion to iron, sesame, or ginger.
Kappa are not entirely antagonistic to human beings.
Once befriended, kappa may perform any number of tasks for human beings, such as helping farmers irrigate their land. Sometimes, they bring fresh fish, which is regarded as a mark of good fortune for the family receiving it. They are also highly knowledgeable about medicine, and legend states that they taught the art of bone setting to human beings. There are also legends that Kappa will save a friendly human from drowning.
Along with the oni and the tengu, the kappa is among the best-known yōkai in Japan.
The kappa is known by various names of the creature vary by region and local folklore. In Shintō, they are often considered to be an avatar (keshin) of the Water Deity or suijin.
Shrines are dedicated to the worship of kappa as water deity in such places as Aomori Prefecture or Miyagi Prefecture. There were also festivals meant to placate the kappa in order to obtain a good harvest, some of which still take place today. These festivals generally took place during the two equinoxes of the year, when the kappa are said to travel from the rivers to the mountains and vice versa.
The best known place where it has been claimed Kappa reside is in the Kappabuchi  waters of Tōno in the Iwate Prefecture. The nearby Jōkenji  In Tōno, there is a Buddhist temple that has komainu dog statues with depressions on their heads reminiscent of the water-retaining dish on the kappa's heads, said to be dedicated to the kappa which according to legend helped extinguish a fire at the temple. The Kappa is also venerated at the Sogenji Buddhist temple in the Asakusa district of Tokyo where according to tradition, a mummified arm of a Kappa is enshrined within the chapel hall since 1818.
In his Tōno Monogatari, Kunio Yanagita records a number of beliefs from the Tōno area about women being accosted and even impregnated by kappa. Their offspring were said to be repulsive to behold, and were generally buried.
Similar folklore can be found in Asia and Europe. Like the Japanese description of the beast, in Chinese and in Scandinavian lore this beast is infamous for kidnapping and drowning people as well as horses.
The siyokoy of the Philippine islands is also known for kidnapping children by the water's edge.
A frog-face vodyanoy is known in Slavic mythology. A green human-like being named a vodník is widely known in western Slavic folklore and tales, especially in the Czech Republic or Slovakia.
In German mythology, a similar creature is known as Wassermann, Nix, or Nickel. They have been mentioned in connection with the larger rivers Elbe and Saale in the eastern part of Germany, but they are most widely connected to Lusatia in South-East Germany. This is not entirely surprising, as the area is not only close to Poland and Czech Republic, but also home to the Slavic minority of the Sorbs.

pairing bf!sunghoon X female!reader
warnings none
wc. 344
sunghoon wrapped his legs around your waist, pulling your body closer. “where are you goinggg?” he whined, frowning as his arms reached your body. his hands sat on your waist as he rested his head on your chest, humming softly.
“hoon, baby i gotta go make us some food.” you said, chuckling at how clingy your boyfriend could get some days. he simply just shook his head and buried his face between your chest area(boobs?). “i’m not hungry. stay and cuddle me please.” he mumbled, looking up at you.
his eyes were round and innocent, a pout placed across his lips as he batted his eyelashes a couple times. “gosh hoon, you’re such a baby..” you whispered, though loud enough for him to hear.
he shook his head in disagreement but almost immediately got still when you started caressing his head. you knew he enjoyed the affection.
with a groan and a sigh, you finally gave into your boyfriend. having to peer his arms off of you in order for you to reposition yourself on his lap. your arms were wrapped around his neck as his sat on your waist once again. he drew shapes onto your waist, his face once again resting on your chest. “y/n,” he started, getting a hum in response. “your boobs are really comfortable..” he mumbled once more. you let out a laugh, which grew louder as you felt his lips turning upwards into a smile.
sunghoon finally removed his face from your chest, now just staring at your face. “you’re so pretty.. how’d i ever get this lucky?” he asked, his eyes filled purely with love and admiration. “you’re so sappy today, love. everything alright?” you asked, caressing his nape.
he just nodded his head and placed a soft kiss onto your lips. one that you more than happily returned. “i just love you so much.” he admitted, soon leaning in to peck your lips once more.
your smile grew at his words and actions, your hand moving to cup his face. “i love you too.”

Over It (Cheater Oikawa x Female reader)
Warnings: Cheating (that’s really it)
Word count: 756 (ik ik, that’s short. Leave me alone)
My heart dropped as I looked at my boyfriend of 3 years' phone. 
“When can I come over again kawa?” 
The message read. Oikawa wasn’t the best boyfriend ever, he could be obnoxious and stuck up at times, but he would never do this to me. I continued reading.
“Soon baby, I have to get Y/N out the house first.”
Tears pricked my eyes as I read his response. My body felt weak, but I forced myself out of the bed we once shared. I managed to grab the light pink suitcase that he bought me for my anniversary. He knew I loved to travel. On our first anniversary, he took me to Tokyo to sightsee. How could someone so sweet do something so terrible?
I threw a couple of shirts, pairs of pants, and some underwear in the suitcase, still wiping my tears. The door to our master bathroom opened, to reveal a worry-free Oikawa. My tears fell down my face faster once my now ex-boyfriend and I made eye contact.
“Uhh, where are you going Y/N?” He questioned, cocking his head to the side. I couldn’t form words, my sadness now turning into anger. I continued to pack my things, letting the silence linger. “Are you okay?” He asked once again. 
“No, Oikawa, I’m not okay.” I finally responded. He winced at the loss of ‘our’ nickname. 
“Oikawa?” He said, as his carefree expression slid off his face. I called him Kawa so much that I almost forgot his actual name. 
“Yes. Oikawa. That is your name, correct?” I said, swallowing extra hard. The last thing I wanted him to see was me crying.
“I- What's wrong?” Still oblivious to the fact that his phone is now face up on the bed. 
I kept my gaze away from his face, “Please don’t act dumb.” Tears started rolling down my cheeks, “ We both know you don’t respect this relationship,” I finished, finally looking him in his brown puppy dog eyes. 
His big brown eyes were one of the many attributes that made me fall in love with him.
“What are you talking about Y/N?” He asked, inching closer to me.
“I saw your messages…” I looked down once again. The tears began to fall rapidly as Oikawa grew dead silent. I grabbed the full suitcase and went outside his bedroom door. 
“Y/N, where are you going?” Oikawa approached with tears in his eyes. He was crying. He cheated on me, and he was crying. A smile covered my face.
“Oikawa.” I said in a soft voice, “why are you crying?” I continued tears pooling by my feet. 
“I-I don’t want you to go Y/N” He fell to his knees. I’d be lying if I say I didn’t kind of enjoy him feeling the pain I felt. 
“Then you shouldn’t have cheated.” I wiped my tears with the long black sleeves of the hoodie keeping me warm. “This is for the best. Goodbye Oikawa.” I said one last time before walking out the front door. 
6 months later 
I walked into the dull coffee shop, in dire need of caffeine before taking on the task of faking smiles at my boring day job. I arrived at the counter, placed my order, and headed for the glass door of the coffee shop. 
“Have a good day at work baby ;)” I immediately smiled at the affirmation my boyfriend of 5 months sent me.
“I will, Hajime” I responded. After the breakup with Oikawa, I was a complete mess. Iwaizumi was the only person I knew well, and he took care of me. 
“Ah- I’m so sorry, I need to stay off my phone wh-” I was cut off by my name being spoken.
“Y/N?” I looked up to see Oikawa looking rough. He had dark circles under his eyes, his hair was disheveled and his clothes looked days old.
“O-Oh, hi Oikawa,” I said, smiling in pity. “How are you?” I asked to break the silence.
“Terrible, after you left….my life went to shit,” He said, his head hanging low. “I’m really sorry how everything went down Y/N, if I could take it all back I would. I just miss you” His eyes grew glossy at every word he spoke. My mouth curved into a frown at his words.
“No, Oikawa. I’m in a relationship now.” I said confidently. His puppy dog eyes stared deep into my soul. “I’m sorry,” I whispered one last time before leaving the coffee shop.

Przywykłam do tego, znajomi robią sobie ze mnie jakieś podśmiechujki, że nie uważam na lekcjach. Przynajmniej nie chcę się zabić, taki plus. Odwołali mi jutro 5 lekcji, także zostanę w domu i fajnie, mam super humor. Kupiłam mamie róże tak po prostu i umówiłam się w końcu na spotkanie z moim najlepszym przyjacielem!!!! Nie mogę się doczekać:))

Everything You Want to Know About “Kawaii” Culture- Kawaii Fridays
Originally posted to www.onlyfunthings.org on June 01, 2018
Tumblr media
Ciao lovelies, Lunaria here! Today for Kawaii Friday I though I’d make a comprehensive post detailing all you could ever want to know about “kawaii culture”; where it came from, naming some fashions within it (I’ll do more detailed posts on each fashion later), giving some resources on good places to begin reading more/ youtubers to follow/bloggers/Instagrammers, and even telling some about my own personal experiences with kawaii culture.
Personal Experience with Kawaii Culture
As you may have noticed, myself and OFT are highly influenced by Kawaii Culture. Personally, I’ve been into kawaii culture since I was about 13 and a friend told me about Anime, Vocaloids, and the word “Kawaii.” Later I, thanks to the internet, discovered fashions like EGL, Decora, Hime Gyaru, Fairy Kei, and many others. My lifestyle and fashion style were heavily influenced by all these fashions and kawaii culture in general, and reflect these influences.
But enough about me, let’s talk about how it all started!
History of Kawaii
Etymology speaking, the word “Kawaii” is believed to have come from the word “Kawayushi,” a word dating back to the Taisho era (1912-1926) meaning loveable, shy, and small.
A big influence on what is seen as “Kawaii” dates back to the first shoji and kawaii illustrator, Yumeji Takehisa, in 1914. Takehisa merged Eastern and Western art styles in his Chiyogami (flat woodblock print patterns on paper) and used the word “kawaii” to describe them. He was one of the first to use wide, round eyes in his works. 
Another big influence on “kawaii” was shojo manga. Shojo Manga (Illustrated stories of a girlish nature), was said to begin with illustrator Katsuji Matsumoto, with the first Shojo manga girl being Kurukuru Kurumi-chan. She had big round eyes and a soft round face. (as seen in the pictures below). Kurumi-Chan was used as a source of encouragement for Japanese people during WW2.
Tumblr media
Moving forward into more modern influences, as shojo manga developed we also saw the rise of Mahou Shojo (magical girl) genre of manga and anime. Characters like Sailor Moon brought forth the idea that kawaii could include flaws, and strong girls, but still maintained the air of childish cuteness.
Tumblr media
What are some Fashions that are in the Kawaii Culture?
Some fashions in the Kawaii Culture include:
-EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita). This style has evolved over the years to include Sweet, Sailor, Classic, and many other sub-styles, but it’s root was gothic Lolita fashion. Hence where it gets it’s name. For more info, see THIS post.
Tumblr media
-Decora. A style dedicated to lots and lots of accessorizing.
Tumblr media
-Fairy Kei. Lots of sweet pastels and childish themes.
Tumblr media
These are pretty central to the Kawaii culture, of course there are more styles, but I’ll get into that later.
Some Good Resources for More Research:
Some Good Bloggers/YouTubers/Instagrammers:
Thanks for reading! I hope you learned a lot about Kawaii Culture today!
Remember to Stay Awesome and Love Yourself!
