Tumblr media
parties , gathering were never your place and neither his. the league had decided to have a gathering of all heroes and as much as you would rather be in your room sleeping , there's free food here.
that's the reason you tell everyone.
If you were being honest , you still weren't gonna come but a certain recent argument with Damian , your oh so understanding boyfriend , had you in a mood of mischief. You wanted to do something to annoy him , as childish as it sounds for someone who has the status of hero , you just had to.
Initially both of you had decided not to go but then just today morning you told him you were going. you laugh when you remember the disbelief that was on his face.
" Fine. Go. " was all he said back then and you thought that would be it. He would be sulking away in his own solitude.
But he came , with that same brooding face which for a moment melted away when he met your eyes , when he saw you looking absolutely gorgeous , but it was quickly replaced by a scowl when he saw you smirking.
You knew how much he hated crowds so having him go through one was utmost peak revenge.
( he has a huge soft spot for you but he wasn't gonna concede so easily. )
He saw you the whole night talking away , laughing with your friends and the strangers that approached you. He saw how everyone hung onto every word you said and get lost in the spark in your eyes , just like he did.
" Trouble in paradise?" Jon said and smirked when Damian ignored him. Jon saw how he was glaring daggers on the people talking to you.
It was simply comical to him how big of a hold you have on Damian. So he decided to just tease. just a little.
" Oh boy did you see the way the guy laughed?? He's totally trying on her. Is it just me or is he inching towards her?? Man you gotta do something or he'll take awa-"
And that was enough to set off Damian as put down his glass on the bar and went striding off to where you were , leaving Jon smirking wide.
You were enjoying your conversation with the new people you met , but you can't lie it was getting tiring now. Your social battery was running out and maybe right now all you need is a quiet corner and him. Just the bliss of his presence.
And thankfully, you were rescued.
Damian came right in the middle of the conversation, put his hand on your lower back gently before looking at everyone else with his usual glare, although you swear you could see the anger in his eyes.
" I apologise but we need to be somewhere. " He said and started directing you away from the crowd but he stopped in between and glanced back at the guy who was hitting on you.
" Back off , 's all I'll say." His voice held a warning that only an idiot would miss and your eyes slightly widened at his outburst.
But when your eyes met with Jon who was reeling from the scenario , you joined the dots.
( OH JACKPOT )
Damian directed you in a quiet corner outside , away from prying eyes and voices. He let go of you and looked off in a distance , his brows furrowed and his upset eyes looking anywhere else but you.
maybe this was too much.
You realised in your childishness you may have actually upset your man.
You gently pulled him by his arm and made him look at you. It was like a little angry puppy looking at you and you could just die from the cuteness aggression.
" Are you mad at me?" you asked with a small smile. He scoffed and looked away again.
" No why would i be?"
" Cause you were jealous."
" I was not. "
" I never took you for the jealous type you know."
" I said i was not jealous."
You laughed and gently held his face in your hands. aww now he really looks like a puppy.
" I'm sorry if i upset you. It wasn't my intention to make you jealous."
" But it was your intention to come to the party."
" That. "
You laughed guiltily and wrapped your arms around his neck.
" Okay yeah obviously that was my intention. But you weren't talking to me at all during missions , and it just made me a bit.... annoyed. So i had to do something to make you talk." you justified, knowing you could have just maturely had a conversation with him about the argument in private.
" ....And annoy you."
you looked down in guilt but then you heard him laughing heartily. You looked up in surprise. The sight not only rare , but it melts you away. It was the most cutest thing ever , the way his face lit up , the way his lips stay in a beautiful smile.
He took a hold of your chin and pulled you close.
" If you wanted attention, "
He kissed your lips slow , his tongue exploring your mouth as his hands went from your chin to your hips , pulling you even more close. You could sense the hint of sass coming as he teased you by gently nibbling on your lower lip. He pulled away , looking at your lips , then your eyes and that shit eating grin on his face.
" You could have just asked. "

hey, i'm new to cr fandom and wasn't there when c2 was airing, may i ask out of curiosity what was the fandom's problem with its ending?
i want to start by saying this post is meant as a personal memory and not an incitement of any discourse. i do not want a lot of asks or replies or anything about this if i can help it. i would also politely ask that no one reblog this as i really just. dont want attention about this when ive discussed it to death on twitter. i also apologize for not having screenshots but i truly cannot bring myself to wade through that again. it was bad enough i still have nightmares about it.
basically, about 3 eps before c2's end, matt clarified on twitter the campaign was coming to a close, and that. did not go well. you see, folk (myself included, though i wasnt part of the following clown show) were very sure c2 would continue a while. it felt unfinished as the empire/trent had to be taken down, and for some of us ludinus was clearly the big bad, etc. so this was incredibly jarring to a lot of folk. and with that came anger. a lot of critique came down to fear of things being rushed, a lack of closure, claims of extreme neoliberialism due to not taking down the empire (i could write an essay on and cite multiple leftist activists who have stated c2 is truthful to the activist tale, not neoliberalism, and also how c3 deconstructs beau & caleb's actions, but everyone is allowed to have their own opinion on it), and that if shadowgast did not fuck in this short timespan the fans were going to kill liam & matt. and threats of killing were the least of what ensued. im just gonna put a tw here for discussion of extreme harrassment and even threat of necrophilia/rape:
people were. atrocious. beyond atrocious. know why 4sd/a lot of q&a events of theirs for a while had no fan questions? partially bc fans were frankly terrible at asking non-ship questions on talks machina, but mainly because folk FILLED their inboxes with insults (and a twitter account was made of screenshots bragging about it) that only the crew would get to filter out, not the cast. know why dani was terrified to show her face on 4sd for a bit? c2 fans would not let up on how it was her cishet fault fjorjester happened. people thought the solution to alleged neoliberalism was to therefore @ travis saying they would defile his veteran fathers corpse. if there was any solid discussion critiquing c2 happening, it was so drowned that actors who had nothing to do with the show told cr fans to stay away if that was how they treated their favorite creators wanting a break. it really didnt help that a certain disgraced talks machina host was firing potshots on twitter when the cast seemed to be just trying to take it all in, so more discourse was kicked up from him. in general besides all of that, you had the average death & even a few rape threats you would expect from the pits of fan entitlement. the way they were hardly the most notable of the insults hurled their way still rattles the mind. and thats just what i saw. my friends have claimed to have seen worse, but if we can help it we dont discuss it in detail, it's that bad. like i said, any idea of an actual conversation about c2 and how someone felt about it from an analysis perspective was not even a drop in the bucket; there was no actual discourse but rather spitting hatred pouring over that mistook personal grievances for excuses to mistreat quite literally anyone around them who didnt agree that threatening to defile someone was funny bittersweet revenge.
the thing is, after the c2 finale happened? i mean, a lot of folk didnt originally like it (i think it's generally pretty well liked now, and i enjoy it), but it wrapped up a lot of issues pretty well. all that terror & terrorizing over a fictional story was really for nothing. and even if it had ended undebateably badly did anything warrant that fallout?
there are of course a few other factors that seperate cast from fandom now. laura also got innumerable threats from tlou fans for playing some antagonist character, twitter is a dysfunctional shithole, and it's just rational the more popular you get to not be buddy-buddy with fans. but that was. a Time, for sure. c3 is a decent campaign but im far from the first person to note that many of its traits are set in trying to find vox machina's fixed story beats so no story beat is left "unturned" and being as un-m9-like as possible, even when they love the m9. a lot of the worst m9 fans now who harrass other campaign enjoyers and lament c2 being "an unloved middle child" are folk who never left the bitterness they held in that time. for as much discourse as c3 has kicked up i really dont think any of it compares to the sheer scale of what happened late may 2021, and im hoping with all my heart it never does reach that level ever again (i think c3 has a slightly smaller (at least online) fanbase compared to c2, and isnt marked by a pandemic hiatus, so hopefully that means something).
i hope i answered your question. i really hate remembering this time but sometimes i think it should be remembered so folk know what the cost of extreme parasociality is. the distance the cast has from fans now is not only earned but maybe should have always been there, so things never evolved to that extremity. but now it's done and gone. i envy people who watch cr on their own merits and didn't get sucked into twitter at the time; it has been fascinating watching folk say they love the travelercon/aeor arcs and the ending. rewatching later c2 really emphasizes how many complaints hinged on extremely online & parasocial headspaces - you definitely wont hear anyone nowadays say liam is a biphobic cishet abusing matt by not making caleb kiss essek yet. i hope new fans have a better time than we did. oh - and get off twitter.

tekken characters and short relationship headcanons
characters: christie monteiro, jun kazama, sergei dragunov and jin kazama
christie monteiro
our beloved christie is a very cheerful and positive person! she is always seen fighting for other people and never for revenge or to just harm someone for no reason, it makes me think that she she would be a lover who would always put her lover's needs above her own. christie genuinely cares about you. she always tries to cheer you up if your down but if you just want a hug its ok her hugs are the best in the world. as a brazilian, christie will obviously take you to brazil. she's always like "honey, you're gonna love it when you try coxinha with guarana for the first time". if you watch the world cup together and you don't support brazil she will be upset (until the match ends)
jun kazama
this woman deserves all the best in the world. she is a sweetheart! jun is such a loving woman with such a big heart, but at the same time she is also very strong and mature. a relationship with her will always be covered in love and understanding. jun is always there for you, she can tell what youre feeling just by looking at each other and then she'll give you the best advice and then the sweetest kiss ever. I also see jun as someone who likes to present you with self-made gifts, like lovely, smelling letters... she definitely wants to adopt a pet with you!
sergei dragunov
ok if you think he is a man who is merciless to his enemies who serves his country above all else and takes pride in it...you are totally right! but who says even the cold sergei can't fall in love? he has a strong personality but inside he is kind to you! if you like to cook and welcome him with your favorite dish after a long period of work, you will melt his heart. sergei is someone serious And he wouldn't enter a relationship without being sure he wanted to be with you for the rest of his life. his favorite cuddling time is when he's with you on a cold winter day, he makes you hot drinks and snuggles up to watch a good musical. he really appreciates music and enjoys singing to you. he also writes poems while he is away from you and gives you when you meet again. you have a box of his poems.
jin kazama im sorry but im a jin, hwoarang and steve fox enthusiast so i always want to write about one of them or all of them hahaha
this poor babe has serious trust issues so if he got into a relationship with you it's because he completely trusts you. don't break his trust! during part of his life he can live well and happily with his mother, he learned to love, so some part of him still wants to love and romance. jin is destroyed inside because he was betrayed by people who should love him, so he is insecure about showing his feelings, in fact he doesnt even know how. he carries a heavy burden, but you've always been so good to him... even if he has the blood of a demon, you still love him and tell him, that's why he looks at you with so much love. he is filled with hope when he thinks of you. jin kazama's thoughts while looking at you: i need to end this hatred to make a better world for everyone, but especially for you.

hey… how you doinnng……. it's me again….. i'll try to keep it nice and simple, but i can't promise anything, so we'll see where the road takes us.
i love the scene where ren loses etho, and he can feel it even before he understand that he lost him. i called etho the human in rens eyes in previous asks, but rn i think it expanded to a level, when etho represent the humanity as a feeling. i'll expand on that a bit later.
i also would really like to make a connection between losing an eye to see more, 'cus at some point etho needs to stop pretending not seeing love in his king eyes. but we'll see how next chapter :]
these whole part when ren commands people to carry etho to medics and there is skizz, "stop dead" i can't, this is.. so much :( and how after ren just can't stand and see how medics try to patch etho, how he needs to do something (i wonder where did we saw that already). the burden of the king is to see death and to know it's his fault. and when the death tries to take the loved once away, then it's unbearable. "let me no have killed him with his war," he thinks.
the scene where etho starts coughing and ren understand that's it's not enough to keep him in his hands to save him, is where i want to mumble about the humanity. 'cus okay, if etho is an anchor for ren, to keep him humane, to remind him, then what would happen if anchor dies? the whole comparison with the star is so on point here - without the constant ship will drift away. into madness, into despair, void knows, but. ship need its anchor. "let him survive this night, let him survive every night after". the fact that this prompted ren not to take revenge, but rather to sit down and stop the war is what is important. i like to think that ren did it while etho was still alive, 'cus he can't know what would happen if he dies.
the way all of the soldiers, alongside with skizz and ren were waiting for the news and how happy were all of them, when etho survived is another point of humanity of etho. the last hope or the first guide, call it whatever. he's so important, yet he's so painfully alive.
the "i love you" from ren, quite and like a prayer. 'cus the loss of the star means death. sun is also a star after all.
i honestly can't mention every detail or reference or this asks, already long enough will be even longer. but just know how much i appreciate them, i just honestly can't write: "he's surrounded by ghost today" AJFSDJIOSDJSDJRWIOJF. and this with every other one.
special thank you for including "a wounded animal. he'll be out of his misery soon" and "he would like to die at his home. his ren". if i say i didn't squeak, i'd be lying.
okay ummm. this one is even longer than the previous, im so sorry. i want to thank you both again, this is true poetry, thank you so much for this.
HI HELLO!!! thank you so much for the essay i genuinely love this!!
you are SO correct that etho's gonna have to start seeing the love from ren next chapter. it's gonna go very normally!! so so so normally!! there will be no tears at all!
ren really had to come to terms with a lot this chapter!! what it is to be king and what it is to love, and what he's gonna prioritize in his reign--which we know now is etho and love and life.
and you're very right about ren's anchor!! without etho i think he would slip into god knows where mentally. etho represents everything to ren<33
it was important to us that the soldiers be shown in this chapter. we wanted to really drive home the fact etho is a beloved person to them--that he's been a good leader despite all of it.
and OFC!! ehehehehehe i'm the one who wrote the wounded animal line. it's been driving me crazy for a week now and i don't think it's ever gonna stop!!
no apologies!!! asks like these are INCREDIBLE and while i have to take time to respond to them i adore this stuff seriously!! you are doing gods work KSDJHFKSJDf

(spoilers for TDP season 4)
OKAY. so i dont really do these kinda posts but id like to say a few things about season 4 cus ive seen some things and the fandom making theories, i just like to write about my own thoughts. ive watched s4 only one time due to not having netflix so i dont really remember many scenes.
"season 5 when?" are you good?? the season 4 just dropped 3 days ago! Im serious when i say ive seen multiple people already posting this question mostly on YT comments or Insta. also the fact that they're not artists OR a fic author makes sense honestly. they have no idea how animation works.
"rayla's acting weird" this is what frustrats me the most. NO she's not... ok maybe a little. but like. come the fuck on, she was gone for 2 years. ofc she's not the same person we saw in season 3. people change. plus, personally, i dont see any difference on her except this one time when callum asked her to...kill him. yes rayla acted a lot calm in that scene- not just that scene really. she was so calm most of the time, but i can see why? she's trying to get callum warm up to her, she's giving him space, she's being gentle as much as she can cus she knows how much she hurt him. she's grown up, she's not the same hot-headed, irritated elf anymore. and we all know how she hides her feelings. Im pretty sure she's gotten used to it, or managed to cope her feelings well so that she can stay calm. lastly about rayla, all i have to say is people change, so does rayla. and no she's not fake at all.
firstly, if rayla's acting weird, what about Viren being supportive with Terry? isnt that weirder? he didnt even treat his own son better, but he's supporting a trans fella? sus.... secondly, what about opeli being so chill about Ez going with Zubia. in that case most of the characters in s4 were out of character. and that's okay cus it's been 2 fucking years!
personally i think the "Zubia in Katolis" scene was a bit rushed. they couldve done it better but Im not saying it was bad at all tho! i loved the scene with the whole callum doing magic thing and the dragon sized jelly tart? xD
"why is rayla back?" why not really. she realized it was useless to find viren and came back home? she realized she wanted to see her mage? "we had something so special. but I became so obsessed with revenge, i.. risked losing the best thing ive ever had... you" she CLEARLY missed him yall. ofc she came back.
"where's the rayllum kiss" Im glad we didnt get a rayllum kiss. I know this is a cartoon show but at least the animators made it similar to how an in-real-life relationship works. people dont just go "you were gone for two years but its okay, i forgive you, lets kiss". Callum needs time to get used to being around rayla again. he's happy but also angry, he needs to see how hard rayla's trying to win callum's trust back. it was so clear that callum got a bit comfortable with rayla again in the last few episodes, especially the last one. That hug was enough sign for us to know they're gonna be okay and that they're still deeply in love.
Stella isNT EVIL YALL. leave my poor baby girl alone >:c
the fart joke was......nuhuh. idk if it's just me but it was gross. i dont wanna remember how much i cringed.
claudia was a bit- no fuck it- she was too much this season. especially in that scene where she tricked rayla with pebbles. god that hurt so much.
Lastly, Season 4 was amazing!! i loved season 4, and all the new things we saw. the arc is building up, it's so interesting, im so excited for season 5.

Hello!
I just wanted to say that I really love your writing, and was hoping to send you a request. If you’re not interested feel free to ignore.
I saw you were open to writing for underrated slashers, so I was wondering if you could write something for Dominic from The dare. I just watched it and I’m so obsessed with him. There’s literally no writing for him, he’s so underrated.
In terms of the writing, I just want something fluffy. Like being childhood friends, getting separated, and then meeting again as adults. I’m being vague just in case you decide to watch the movie. I don’t want to spoil anything. I trust your amazing writing skills. ❤️
Again, feel free to ignore if you’re not interested. Thank you 💕
Thank you!! That's v nice of you😊😊 also thanks for movie recommendation!!! It was great tbh! The killer looked like brahms but gym rat😭😍 im obsessed!!
Sfw, they/them, mensions of trauma but on movie level so nothing new!
Dominic (from The Dare) Headcanons!!
While I was watching the movie I thought "man this is gonna be hard to write" but when I saw that u mention 'childhood friends' prompt and OMG ANON YOU ARE GENIUS
Childhood friend with this guy.. What worse could happen?
Imagine this: s/o and Dominic are bffs and one day Dominic sadly gets bullied but what can s/o do about that really? There's 4bullies and only two of them ://. I can imagine s/o ending up looking for him afterwards, and even lutteraly forcing police department not to close that case
He prolly kidnaped them due to silly goofy mood. Nah but for real he kinda hoped that they still like him?? (He mensions in movie that he wish he had family and kids just like main character did) and also he hopes s/o is as sadistic as him and will revenge bullies with him
S/o has to have huge 'I can fix him' vibe if they somehow stay with him
Also this guy never had a gf or even a kiss soooo yeah he will get flustered if s/o grabs his hand or call him some nick names. If s/o says something along the lines "Love you honey" He will just stand there sweatin bcs he has no clue what to do??? Should he say thank you?? Should he smile??? "Uhh😰😰 you too?"
Hes very pretty but hear me out. Masks stays on
After opening up and making sure s/o doenst skedaddle when left alone for more than second he turns into such simp, like "Domi its cold can you bring me a blanket :(" "yes honey, what color? What texture? I hope you dont mind wool .. i mean if you do i have few other blaknets but not as warm I- i mean i can go make you one?? O-or..." this guy🙄
He gets way to flustered! Things between them needs to go slow or his heart will explode. Lets stay with lil smooches and handholding for now please
do no DO NOT ENTER BASEMENT PLS plsplspls!!! Why?? Ee well😓😓 I kinda still have those people in there... they deserve it! (Sure they do)(but he feeds them so no worry
As i said before, he is a gym rat, his s/o could lay on his back and he still would do push ups(tbh he enjoys that bcs not only he exercise but also spents time with them)
He would love to go to park with them, watch a movie in cinema, talk shit about neibours. Sadly he thinks that due to his eee chilhood trauma he cant do all this stuff :((. Hopefully his s/o will help him change his mind! Help him leave all that stuff in past.
He do be laying on floor drawing with crayons and waving his legs in air (also humming)
His love language is definitely quality time. He loves doing anything with them really! S/o wants to cook something together? Get him an apron! S/o wants to cuddle and watch movies? Say less He will get some blankets and make couch mega comfy! S/o wants to dance or goof around just vibing? He can try that!
About 'play fighing' well that's not the best idea, I mean he likes it?? But it kinda gets into his head?? And he might to something very hurtful and bad acidently
What he loves the most are little things. How s/o knocks on door of his workshop before entering to make sure he knows that they are entering, or how they grab his hand when they are stressed, or how they bring him food when he's too busy/overwhelmed to do so himself, or when they give him space and understanding when he needs that, and when they lisen to him mumble about the horrid stuff he witnessed
He loves kissing them on forehead, hugs from behind, playing with hair, lazy mornings including snuggles
Sorry for long wait, I have a lot of stuff to do latley!! It is 2am I just finished watching move! I really hope those headcanons fit into your Dominic interpretation! Also good news! I think I might include his silly fella in my future headcanons! Cuz hes goofy! Please give more movie recommendations!
Love you all cya in next one

WWDITS RANT <3
Ok i just finished watching the WWDITS season finale and It made me laugh so much but also some of it was shitty and i feel like sharing to the class.
So most insane things first I have no idea why Guillermo decided not to be a vampire. It is even explicitly shown how great he feels after drinking human blood like he is ready??? and then suddenly its like a switch flipped and he has a problem killing a human. He has never really gave a shit about that for FIVE FUCKING SEASONS. He is even like yeah i know i dismembered a shitton of body and lured people to their deaths and killed a shitton of vampires (who tbh he can definitely empathize with like humans as he has been involved with them for years) (OVER 10 YEARS) but i cant suck this guys throat owo. Like he has devoted his entire life to this for a decade and all of a sudden he backs out? I'm not saying this isn't just weird bad writing but the lamp nandor pulled out was the big one which he knows has no wishes left. I think its possible either nandor wished that Guillermo wanted to be human OR Guillermo purposely got himself turned back into a human so Nandor could be the one to turn him. Like he had everything set up with the necromancer to undead Derick pretty quickly...... idk im just saying. Also It feels like nothing has changed. I wish Nandor would have helped him with dericks body or something. Just to show that Guillermo is accepted a little more. I know you guys will debate me on this but its the little things like that that make you really feel part of the group. Lazlo came in clutch as always though I love him so much he really is one of my comfort characters of all time. (I even think that if my theory ends up being the case that Lazlo knew about Guillermo's plan cause that would definitely go along with the theme of Lazlo and Guillermo hiding stuff from the others throughout the season) But yea. Weird ending with Guillermo and im gonna be PISSED if there isnt a seriously good explanation for that.
Next: the Guide... Yea WHAT THE FUCK they did her so dirty like no hahah we liked you the whole time haha. Are you for serious. are you joking with me. This could have been a HUGE chance for character growth on the vamps part. They could have realized that yea. healthy relationships need to have mutual respect and both people need to contribute. They could have brought Lazlo's journey with him becoming a bit more human this season full circle. Nandor could have realized that how he has treated Guillermo is not great. He could have been like yea no wonder he got turned by someone other than me. I have been using him to do dirty work for years and stringing him along with the promise that I would eventually turn him which even I convinced myself was true in order to keep things just as how theve always been. I wont kill him because he means more to me than a stupid vampire rule that im only doing because its what is always done. (Like Nandor realized he didn't want to kill Guillermo after a second of seriously thinking about it.) Guillermo could have let him out of that cage and they could have hugged and figured out what to do like the fucking found family they are damn it.
NADJA ......... nadja's whole thing this season was the fact that she treats people like shit and is pretty selfish and she didnt even have a moment where she actually showed change. IM SICK IM DYING IM THROWING UP IN THE STREET.
I realize that them liking the guide the whole time is a funny joke but guys. was it worth it. was it fucking worth it...
For the things I liked lol I really liked Lazlo he is allways slaying his fits were spectacular his matching hair with Nadja is incredible He is a real friend to Guillermo and everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious.
Im glad the guide got some kind of revenge she deserves it I love her.
Guillermo hiding out in the motel was funny and i love how everyone visited him individually.
Guillermo being really happy after turing into a bat and getting his fangs was also really cute
Also "this meat has kissed the grill" i started crying i have no idea why this was so funny to me
Nandor stalking the fucking panera bread and setting up a whole fake ritual for Guillermo 10/10
also final round of applause for Nadja and Lazlos hair and outfits this season. I wish i were them.
anyways funny vampire show heheeh i wont get too upset about it and i wont make a conspiracy about how they wrote it bad on purpose because I cant cope with reality *cough* good omens fans *cough* SORRY but guys... guys... its not 2017 wake up please we dont need another TJLC please I have to say somthing.
love you all touch grass <3
comment 💥if you read all of this shit i want to know

i was just rereading the last chapter of the hand that feeds - as i often do when i need to feel like a knife is digging in my chest and i need to some absolutely scrumptious gut-wrenching angst - and OH MY GODDD!!! i forget how fucking good that ending is and then i reread it and im telling you - literal goosebumps!!! the first section ending with 'This is a story about war.' i literally get chills everytime i read that!!! and the final few lines:
'A butterfly lands in the palm of her hand. She watches it flap its wings once, twice—and then it flies away.
Here is a secret.
Are you listening?
This is a story, and a story is not its end.'
my god reading this part after the emotional turmoil of the previous chapters is literally an out-of-body metaphysical experience. i feel like im dying!!! i love it!!!! :)))))
anyway it just sums up the fic so well and feels like such a thematic like thesis?? it just so perfectly presents such a compelling outlook on life and what defines its meaning and true value. like what makes a tragedy isn't its violent ends or its hateful and tense moments!! its the love and the family and the joy that truly make their lives a tragedy!!! and i love how you so beautifully execute that!!
anyway im getting serious brainrot right now, so i really just had to rant!!! now i have to reread!! kicking my feet and giggling for the angst!!!! <3
AHHHHH screaming u literally Get It. like...YES the ending to thtf is truly so special to me and one of my favorite things i've ever written. gonna use ur brainrot as license to ramble lol SPOILERS obviously
ok so the thing about the ending of thtf is that it is not at all what i originally had planned! like, i don't think it was until i was maybe...halfway? or like two thirds done with the fic that i just sort of had a moment where i was like NO i cannot end it this way it doesn't feel correct...and then i had like a eureka moment where everything fell into place and that last line appeared fully formed in my mind TRULY it was spine-shattering
so like. ok. when i started writing the fic i KNEW that i was not going to do any kind of afterlife epilogue, just because...well personally i was raised to believe in heaven and hell and center my life around that, and i lost that faith as i grew older, and now the idea of an afterlife just. is not something joyful or happy to me. like i know many people believe in some form of afterlife, but personally try as i might i have never been able to, and so i have had to seek meaning in life while believing that like. death is just it. i think ur brain dies and ur done and gone like i don't believe in souls or ghosts or anything lol. but even aside from like whether or not u believe anything happens or exists after death to me personally it's just been so much more meaningful to seek meaning in life absent any conception of an afterlife.
so i knew there wasn't going to be an afterlife. but i also knew i wanted to kill both dorcas + marlene in these very tragic and abrupt ways. like i specifically did not want to give them peaceful deaths. marlene dies afraid and alone and begging a god she doesn't believe in not to kill her here and now with so many things unfinished. dorcas dies consumed by rage and revenge and violence without ever getting a chance to heal from any of it, leaving behind friends and family who love her. and i wanted that partly because i love tragedy, yes, but also because...that is so often what death is. and that is so often what is terrifying about death. like most of us don't get any control over how or when we go, and it could be today or tomorrow and it could be peaceful or violent or painful. and that's so scary!
but i didn't want to end on that note, obviously. because the point of the story i was writing was not just to go "death is terrifying and the End and we don't get to choose when or how it happens!!" what i wanted to say was--death is terrifying and lonely and we can't control it, but life is beautiful and worth living anyway, perhaps even moreso because death is so out of our control. all the painful and scary and beautiful and joyful moments we experience are life, they are living, and there's no one experience that is objectively Better or Worse. like...grief and pain and sorrow are part of the experience of human life, just as much as joy and love and happiness.
anyway, so originally i was going to end with a little epilogue chapter from mary's point of view, sort of her and emmeline after the end of the first war like reflecting a little bit on their friends' lives and moving on. but honestly...that didn't quite fit with what i was saying, because again, what i wanted to say was that life doesn't need to be like...this endless continuing thing to have meaning. like you don't need to be remembered or leave A Mark on the world in order for your life to matter. i didn't want to make it seem like marlene and dorcas's lives were meaningful because of the people who would continue to live after them (although i do think that can be meaningful!! it just. wasn't what i wanted to say).
so what the final chapter ended up becoming is really this synthesis of like. my own worldview regarding life and death--and i feel like writing this story honestly helped me to like pin down that worldview which was a little more nebulous and difficult to articulate before. but like--last chapter. i wanted to take all these moments, both good and bad, from marlene and dorcas's lives--again, to emphasize that the "good moments" are not somehow inherently more important or meaningful than the "bad," that all life is experience and humanity and just...worth it. even the painful moments have meaning. and i also wanted to chop those moments up in time, to show that--hey! time doesn't matter.
like, we're so bound to this very linear view of timelines where life is like...i dunno. a straight line or a road or something. something you start and then you follow through to its end, and it's supposed to be like...a journey with a Final Destination. and we get scared of the End of that linear journey and we try to find ways to prolong it or tell ourselves that it doesn't have to ever end, that it can just keep marching forward in time.
and i mean, i'm still young. maybe my views will change. but as much as we are bound by linear time, i don't think that we need to measure life by those standards. all the moments of your life, good and bad and beautiful, they all exist somewhere in the fabric of the universe, forever. maybe that's a little optimistic streak of the spirituality i was raised with, but...yeah. all moments in life are meaningful, and they all exist somewhere in time, and so why does it matter what the "last" moment is? maybe death will be peaceful, or maybe it won't, but it's okay, because your death isn't your life. and that's what i'm trying to get at with the very last line--literally, a story is not its end. you can go back to any moment of a story and experience it again, you can skip around and read your favorite parts, and a story wouldn't be a story without every word and page in the book, y'know? so why should we fear the very last page? and why should we despair over the conflicts and the bits of the story that make us cry? it's all part of the story! it's beautiful! i love life and i love being human! and dorcas and marlene's lives were beautiful and tragic and wonderful and that's what being human is, and they died alone but they didn't live alone, and just....yeah! this ending is so so special to me <3

Chapter 13, um hello?!?!?!? HELLO?!?! That ending!!! I’m screaming, crying and throwing up?!?!
First of all, amazing chapter! The flashbacks, had me all over the place, my goodness!! I mean they were so bittersweet as memories often tend to be, especially after having a major rift with the person from those memories.
Second, Yelena, my sweet Yelena, oh so thoughtful and loving to [a slightly] undeserving reader, in my opinion! Has me just stumped! Like the way she carefully crafted a celebration to honor reader with the people reader most cares about and here reader is thinking about Wanda! Like ugh! I just want to fucking scream!! But I also get it and don’t completely blame reader, you get me?! Because thinking of the memories of some of your greatest times in a decade especially after having experienced so many lows is understandable, like the mind will mostly always travel to happier times, so I get why reader would look back to those memories.
Third, Clint revealing that Wanda is seeing a therapist for addicts!! I gasped!! Like, OH. MY. GOD!!!
Fourth, the times that Natasha has felt betrayed by reader always hits me more than like the actual relationship angst (???) and I just hurt! Haha but also I love that Nat is keeping it real and calling reader out on her shit!! Because I know even though Natasha’s portrayed as bad ass and all, she’s always been such a big softie to me who just deeply cares about the people she loves and wants to protect them at all costs! So when she said “if you hurt my sister because of Wanda, I can’t promise you that this won’t come between us.” That low key almost had me crying?! I can’t handle best friend break ups!! Haha but I understand where she’s coming from and I hope reader gets it together!!!
Fifth, reader and Wanda going out to eat and acting like old friends has me so conflicted!! On one hand yay, Wanda and reader!! On another hand, I hate how deceiving it feels for reader to be meeting with Wanda in that way!! Like I get it happened spontaneously, but it also kinda feels like cheating to me, something that destroyed reader in the beginning!! Like, that’s literally why we’re here!! Haha like if it weren’t such a big deal why act nonchalant and lie to Yelena?!? That’s fishy!
Sixth, Vision?!? I hope he’s not going to do what I think he’s going to do because I will literally not know what to do with myself!! (I may be jumping to conclusions, but this story has been angsty so can you blame me?)
Last, like always I apologize for my thoughts maybe being all over the place, my brain thinks faster than my fingers can type! Haha but I just wanted to say this chapter was so fucking good!! Like you literally have me writing a whole ass essay here and I apologize!!! Haha, but you just make me sit here and think, which I find so cool honestly!! And it’s also what’s so great about this story!! I will seriously never tire of saying that!! I know there’s quite a few chapters left and that makes me both happy and sad because this has been such an awesome read, but I’m also excited to reach the finish line and see how it all ends!! Thank you so much for this amazing journey!! I hope you have an amazing week! Stay safe and take care! -💫🥀
I'm in love with your thoughts as always. Thank you so much for writing this long review, it always gets me excited :D
I'm gonna address your comment in reverse.
Vision - i know im dramatic, but i don't want to make it too dramatic that what he has in mind is so scary and something to be worried about. Let's just say as a selfish, immature and spoiled brat, he only thinks about himself and so his "form of revenge" has something in it for him than just making someone suffer.
R and Wanda spending time - I remember an anon telling me that they experience emotional cheating and it didn't count. so this chapter would like to say that IT DEFINITELY COUNTS. R doesn't realize because she's already caught up in having feelings for two people and had been in denial all the time. so she's clinging onto the technicalities of a relationship and what constitutes cheating.
Natasha- i would like to apologize as early as now :(
Yelena - i want to take her on a vacation and just pamper her and buy her cocktail drinks to keep her happy. she's the sweetest angel
Again, thank you for sticking with the story :)

Sorry if this is an intrusive question but you’re the only person I know who lives in Brighton lol. I’m looking at university courses and I was wondering what it’s like living there?
Hi! This isn’t intrusive at all, this has been sat in my drafts because I was trying to give you a good reply.
Firstly I wanna say (and I think this is the same as anyone in a big city) I absolutely live in a little bubble in Brighton and I’m sure plenty of other people have different experiences and impressions etc. BUT I think my demographic is probably gonna be similar to yours (baristas! uni students! the gay and mentally ill!). I also lived in London on and off for 4 years so the comparison is at the back of my mind at all times and that paints how I view the place!
I’m also a post grad which changes my experience of the university hugely. I never lived in halls - I’m probably not the best person to ask if that’s your goal though some of this will apply!
So. Brighton university is great (I’m doing my MA there) and very supportive in my experience. The city itself is fairly small and very easy to get around, the buses are brilliant but also the center is in walking distance from everywhere pretty much. Rent is high - not quite London but above average for anywhere else, especially the north, around £1k for a 1 bed anywhere in the city itself unless you’re very lucky - but in my experience cost of living is the same as anywhere. There’s lots of Lidls.
In terms of my bubble - 20-35, mostly hospitality workers who are studying or are musicians/artists - everyone is gay, I think I’ve met about 3 straight people in the last 2 years and one of them lives with me. The rumours are true. The gay scene is more aimed at cis gay men to an extent but is always developing and moving forward and in my humble opinion there’s no city where you can be as yourself as Brighton. To the point where the mullet-moustache-Lucy & Yak look is totally dominant and going back to London was like reverse culture shock for me. Alternative fashion is the mainstream. It’s super indie almost to the point of being pretentious and annoying and falls into that trap of everyone looking the same because they’re trying to look different, but tbh I love that. Even if you’re just a visitor the Lanes are such a great place to come and shop and find clothes and whole new looks and also sit in one of the 100000 indie coffee shops that are everywhere (except mine is the best).
The going out scene (again! In my bubble!) is pretty different to a lot of uni towns I think - the clubs are almost totally based around the gay scene and there’s a big culture of pubs, grubby bars and gigs as opposed to the pre-drinking, cocktails, club pipeline (which tended to be the London vibe when I lived there). Live music is a huge thing, open mic nights are everywhere (a classic conversation when you go somewhere new is “was it ‘very Brighton’” “well it was open mic night” ) and gigs are generally cheap. The most popular (in my bubble! I’m so biased here all my friends/colleagues are a certain type of musician) are probably Green Door, the Hope & Ruin, then Revenge (the biggest gay club in Brighton). The music scene is pretty famous and the music schools here are some of the best in the country so you WILL spend most of your time listening to people talk about their music. Take that however you want.
I think much more than London Brighton is a less lonely city - I don’t know if this is because I was so unwell when I lived there, and my time of life has changed (im old now) but making friends and a community has been soooo much easier. To a large extent everyone knows each other and you’re usually only one connection away from everyone else (in the musician scene at least). My absolute top tip would be (if you can) to get a job in hospitality - bar work, waitressing, coffee shops - as the easiest way to make friends, more so than the university. Again. Post-grad.
I could write a whole essay on the history of Brighton and the things to do Museum wise because that’s literally my degree so if you want to know anything else please just ask!! I don’t mind replying to messages either. I can give more info on what it’s like studying in London too if you’re torn (short answer: don’t) or direct you to resources. MWAH

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training (2024)
Tumblr media
this is gonna be the weirdest dumbest review i'll write yet so buckle up. im gonna preface this by saying i know nothing about demon slayer; i only watched this because a friend of mine wanted to watch it in the theaters with me and i thought it could be fun. i HAVE been curious about it though; i dont watch anime much at all anymore but it seems like demon slayer is one of those absolutely huge names in manga and anime right now, sorta like how naruto was in the 2000's and before that, dragon ball in the 80s/90s. one of these friggin films, demon slayer mugen train, became the highest grossing japanese film of all time, the highest grossing R rated animated film of all time (dethroning sausage party lol) AND the highest grossing movie of 2020, and this was all in the midst of fucking COVID. something's gotta be up. this has to be the greatest anime ever conceived then. if it is, i couldn't really tell from this movie.
i know the general gist of the plot from watching the first episode years ago; some kid is going about his merry day when suddenly almost his entire family is slaughtered by a demon, and to make matters worse, the only survivor is his sister, who has now been turned into a demon. and now he goes on a journey of revenge to kill that demon and make his sister into a human again. pretty cool premise, but i never watched more of it until tonight. oops.
according to reviews i dug up on imdb this is basically just a giant filler movie; the first half is the last episode of season 3 and the second half is the first episode of season 4, which hasn't aired on tv yet; this movie is mainly just for hardcore fans to see that episode before anyone else. i have not seen any of this show past the first episode, so the season 3 stuff was new to me, and i actually liked it quite a bit. the action was fun and very beautifully animated and there is a really cool emotional scene that i'm sure would've really struck a nerve with me had i been watching this show from it's inception. apparently none of this is new footage but from a non-fan i had a lot of fun with it.
the problem comes from its second half, which is supposed to be the main draw; besides one action scene (which was also very cool) at the beginning, it's nothing but exposition and really awkward and uncomfortable comic relief. the first half was so serious with it's grizzly and intense action and now we're just doing wacky cartoon faces and doing funny screams a lot. just seems really bizarre; in america the movie was rated R but i couldn't tell if this was supposed to be for children or adults. i mean a couple kids DID walk in the theater with what i assume to be their dad and them, me and my friend were the literal only people in the theater. that doesnt have much to do with the review but i just thought it was funny lol.
im sure the second half would've made more sense if i were to have, you know, watched the entire rest of the anime so far beforehand, but they just kept talking about a training session by these mystical demon slayers or whatever and i was so unengaged i took my phone out in the middle of the theater and started looking at twitter. as a non fan it was boring, but if you're not a fan of this anime, there is literally no reason for you to watch this in the first place. it fails as a traditional movie and is more so to just hype people up for the next season of demon slayer to be released. anyone remember evangelion: death & rebirth? no? okay never mind. if you're a fan of demon slayer, watch it if you're just that impatient for season 4 to air (even though what they show in this movie is pretty much all setup and filler with no actual plot progression), and for anyone else who just wants to watch one of those newfangled anime cartoons in theaters, dont even bother.
5/10
NOTE: blond hair guy has the best voice actor ever. i was watching the english dub and i didnt even know human beings could make those kinds of noises. give him the nobel peace prize or something.

I was about to write some violent text about what im feeling but then my therapist responded me (i was chatting with her about my feelings in text since my session is wednesday), and she wants me to talk more about [ ] and what [ ] represents to me to see if this is gonna make us feel better,
I hope it does, this blinding rage never ends up well, i never end up making anything good out of it, i understand [ ] sucks and i hate [ ] but i also started to recognise that there's nothing really productive anymore on going after [ ], i already did what i could do, the victim is protected now and that's what matters, my image does not, my rage does not, my violence does not, at least not to the public, it matters to me, so i need to treat those violence, rage and desire for revenge on myself,
I think what makes me most rageful is that the comparisons [ ] make of us never really justify what [ ] did, it's like the most mediocre competition of the world, but one is just trying to finish the task and the other is trying to overpower the other. Literally nothing will change what [ ] did to multiple people, even if i was revealed to be scum of the earth,
So why do I feel so much rage? I think it's repressed rage from years finally coming up, it's pain, it's sadness, it's anger, blinding anger that don't really have more to it, it's the same feelings looping over and over again until they disappear, it's the need to make [ ] suffer, i want [ ] to suffer. That's the end of it, [ ] made me suffer and I don't want [ ] to go away from that cleanly,
Everytime i talk about my rage and desire of making [ ] suffer, i get told i'm okay for having those feelings, even my therapist says it's okay, [ ] made me suffer, so i want [ ] to suffer, but it doesn't feel in character for me, it's like i'm always fighting a rabid dog, which i literally am, our revenge holder is a literal dog LOL
The memory of [ ] is traumatizing, it re-traumatizes me everytime i have an episode related to [ ]. it splits so many fucking people that's why there's like so many introjects of the same motherfucker.
This goes beyond the callout to me now, the callout was a dry cut to me, it was something it needed to be addressed, and it was, now that don't matter anymore, i already did my part on combating what was right to combat, I'm not gonna lose my time repeating the same thing over and over again like a broken disc, the thread exists, people can read it over and over again, the proof is there, the things are spilled, there's nothing about that to speak to anymore, there's nothing else to fight anymore, now it's just feelings left to feel, now it's just rage.
I finished my fight but at the end of the day i'm still the same fight dog, there's nothing else to bite, nothing else to fight, i can't do anything else than what i already did,
The fear of being misinterpreted everytime i write a line still permeates within me and it came to a point i don't care anymore, accuse me of being morally terrible, i don't really care what others think about me if they're not my friends, i want to express my feelings and i will,
I know you will take my words and use them against me, that you will crop parts of my words and use it to tell your 5 boot-lickers of how horrible i am, but yeah i don't really care about being terrible anymore, if there's something i learn about in my new job is that people will give you hell for making a mediocre job, even if it's not anything bad, i heard so many terrible things about myself at work for trying my best from clients who don't understand how it's hard to be in my role, so i guess work did teach me something new that i can carry for life: Sometimes people will say you fucking suck and you can't do shit about it, but who cares honestly
This ramble is not any kind of message, i'm not really trying to start anything, this is more of a cathartic thing for me, after all this is my vent account and i want to be free to express myself, and honestly i don't feel angry anymore after writing this, i feel better, i think writing your feelings really is good for your emotions,
I think if i wanna add something is that i thought (( was gonna hurt me way more, but it really didn't, in the end i don't think i care about (( anymore, (( was kind of an annoying person to be around to me but i never really noticed how much (( was annoying until (( left, sometimes people just fucking suck as friends lmao, i can't say no one misses (( i think some headmates do and still cry over it, but i think personally me i don't really think about (( at all
I've been clean from looking at [ ] stuff for months, and i'm pretty proud of it, i think if younger me could see me today, they would be relieved,
I think thats all, this really made me feel better, thanks for reading my vent

I'm curious about your last ask. How is the game dissapointing? I was just curious because I always want to know all sides of people's opinions about this kind of things.
Also, I freaking love your work!
Tumblr media
Oh, sure! Honestly I wasn't expecting people to care all that much, so I'm honored you'd also like to hear my thoughts on the matter 💛💛💛 Since the last ask I answered was about my concerns regarding the jpn server, I can elaborate on why I was upsetti spaghetti abt the eng server's last event if that's okay c:
And tysm both of you!!! I really appreciate it 💞💞💞💞
I’m just gonna tag the second requester since it’s about the same thing essentially @burntamore0906
So like this is going to be a very specific grievance, so forgive me if it’s a little niche or high maintenance. But I guess what bothered me so much about the Comte event story (On the Hunt for My Maker) is that the tone felt very very...off? As compared to the JPN ver?
How to explain...basically, in the JPN ver you just get this intensely serious vibe? MC’s been through a l o t in this one, and she’s in absolutely no nonsense mode. She takes mercy on Comte because she senses something is very off about his behavior; he’s not quite as sinister or impulsive or unhinged as one might expect of a murderer. 
Even then, she’s wary and defensive; terse, to the point. I guess what I disliked about the ENG ver is that all of this gravity and solemnity just...felt kind of lost? Like the heavy tone falls flat. I know it’s not a very tangible description of what’s troubling me, but the way she talks about wanting to reap justice and find closure just seems so overwritten by forcible romance by comparison.
There’s a sense of a slow burn that was lost here. The whole point is that, over time, it becomes obvious what Comte’s intentions were? And that no matter how angry she is, she’s also exhausted from this relentless pursuit to find an answer for everything she’s lost. To find some kind of reason, someone to blame for it all--when there just isn’t any. In the end, all she’s left with are these broken pieces and someone who cared for her despite everything. And the other side is just as important? Comte spent years watching over her with the full expectation of her hatred. Doesn’t make excuses for himself, doesn’t try to plead his case at all--welcomes her to attack him. For all her bitterness and fury and uncompromising resolve, he sees her for who she truly is. Someone hurt, but still full of rough-edged kindness. Maybe it was just my own feeling of difference, but I kind of hate how they removed the grittiness from MC. 
I feel like there’s a sensibility of “my sad past/my tragic backstory” and “love heals all wounds immediately” in the ENG ver. JPN ver felt more “I don’t know where to go or how to move forward, but I sense real warmth from this person. While I’m not sure if this is the right step, I want to trust that it is. I want to take care of this person like he keeps taking care of me.”
I mean I have a hard time taking lines like “Why did I ever hate him?” Seriously???? Like. You thought he [bleeping] murdered your parents, turned you into a vampire, and left you to rot on a whim. Yeah you were gonna be full of spite and hate in response????? 
This is just an example of what I mean:
ENG ver: It finally made me realize that though we’re vampires, we were still very much living creatures. It doesn’t matter if I was a human and he’s a vampire. I would have fallen in love with him either way. My rough translation records: [Even vampires are living creatures filled with warmth, despite our bloody nature. When we're touching like this, it's impossible to deny. Whether human or vampire--I don't care, I love this person...]
ENG ver: I’d spent so many years living in loneliness, hungry for revenge. No one had ever touched me with love like this before. Now it felt like le Comte was trying to fill in all the emptiness that had resided in my heart. My rough translation: [I’ve spent so long only living for revenge--life empty of all else, devoid of any joy. What a wonderful thing it is to be touched so dearly by someone who loves you...Just as Comte filled the loneliness of my past, so too does he fill my heart now.]
The content isn’t hugely different, but I feel like the conveyance matters. Could just be a me problem though.
It feels like the writing was so dissonant and out of order, rather than smooth and narratively flowing (IkeSen is probably the best example of this seamlessness). One thing I’ve also noticed between IkeSen, IkeVamp, and IkePrince is that IkeSen and IkePrince have a more dynamic, clever, and more animated MC. As a result, while I love the subject matter of IkeVamp, my enjoyment tapers off because the writing does leave something to be desired. Maybe it’s unfair of me, maybe the localization was rushed--I don’t know. But I feel like accurate tone and MC competency are a big part of my enjoyment when it comes to my fave otomes. And it’s a bit of a shame IkeVamp suffers in those dimensions. Even stranger considering how insanely developed the suitors are in terms of characterization and design...
Also because I’m still going feral over it.
So like naturally when MC is attacked by that man and Comte protects her, I really didn’t think too hard about it. He’s protective by nature, of course he’s going to move her out of the way. 
But then something occurred to me.
If she’s a turned vampire in this event, that means she would most likely not die from a stab wound the way a human might. Which begs the obvious question. Why would Comte be so frantic with concern? Why go to all the trouble? And the answer hit me like a train.
She died from stab wounds. She literally lost her life after being sold off by her family, drugged beyond the ability to function, and stabbed over and over while she was powerless. Intervention by Comte was not just about protection; it was an act of mercy. He was ready to do anything to make sure she wouldn’t have to experience that again, and didn’t look so much as bothered by the knife in him. 
I’m so ridiculously tender.......not wanting her to be retraumatized......

Tumblr media
Izana
- ngl he probably thinks you're really weird, he most likely judges you and to your face too
- how y'all fell for each other? it's beyond me... but it happened, and you guys are kinda vibing
- honestly, he doesn't see the relationships lasting long but you're determined to prove him wrong as you should!!!!
Izana stares at you while you're trying to set fire to a tree by using a magnifying glass since it's a sunny day. "What a fucking idiot, does he actually think that's gonna work?? " he thinks to himself.
"Y/n what the fuck do you think you're doing?" he asks. "I'm trying to burn this tree obviously??" you say in a serious tone, turning back to the tree. He scoffs and walks over to you closer. To his surprise, there were burn marks on the tree.
He stares again, this time it was because he was utterly dumbfounded. How the fuck did you manage to do that??? "You're so weird you know that?" he says, but not as harshly as he usually does. Perhaps he's starting to warm up to you? What is this that he's feeling?? It makes him sick. Butterflies? But from you of all people??
He'd rather die than tell you that you're making him feel this way, maybe you'll find out on your own... perhaps you're not as bad as he thought you were. You notice his expression and you turn to face him, smiling softly. "Wanna join?"
Rindou
- you definitely remind him of ran
- he's pretty curious about you, seeing as you're not just crazy, but also strong as hell so maybe you'd be good to keep around
- having you around meant he ended up getting dragged into whatever the fuck you were doing but he ended up really enjoying it
Rindou was chilling with Ran until he got a call from your phone. He sighed as he picked up the phone, knowing that you were probably calling for a stupid reason.
"Hello, is this Rindou Haitani?" an unfamiliar voice asked through the phone. "Yes? Who is this, where's Y/n?" he asked, feeling slightly concerned. "Oh he's in the hospital and you were on his emergency contact so–" he hung up the phone, not wanting to hear the rest as he made his way to the hospital immediately, Ran following him behind.
Once he arrives, he asks the lady at the desk where you're staying. When he gets his answer, he rushes to your room.
"Y/n you dumbass what happened??" Rindou asks. You chuckle nervously and turn away from him. "I might've tried to ride my bike up a skateboard ramp and I might've crashed... but hey at least the nurse said I'd be fine!!" you turn back to look at him, noticing his judgy eyes. "You're a real idiot, you know that?" Ran adds. "Yeahhh I know" you sigh, causing Rindou to smile a bit.
Kakucho
- when he first met you, he thought you'd cause a lot of trouble
- because of this, he always kept an eye out on you so that if you do anything bad or suspicious, he could deal with it immediately
- as he was doing so, he didn't expect to fall in love with you, seeing as how you're always doing some wild and concerning shit
Baji
Today you decided to be a real menace, because who in their right mind thinks "I'm gonna prank Izana, this is gonna be so funny!!"? Definitely not most people, definitely not sane people... but you're built different obviously.
Kakucho was about to lose his shit because what the fuck do you think you're doing??? Are you trying to get yourself killed??? You waltz up to Izana and Kakucho watches intently.
"Izana... I got a call from a certain someone... I heard they wanna fight you real bad, they have it all planned out and everything" you say as you pat his back. Izana stares at you, and if a stare could kill, you would've had the most gruesome death. Kakucho notices this and rushes in immediately.
"Oh it's okay don't worry about it, he was just messing around I promise!!" Kakucho tells him as he drags you away. "What the fuck were you thinking???? That could've gotten us in real big trouble, yknow that???" he says frustratingly. You look down, trying to hide a smile.
"His face was kinda funny though, cmon don't lie" you reply, your smile getting bigger. "You're insane..." he says. "You bet I am" you reply with a smirk, causing him to blush slightly.
- heart eyes at first sight
- falls in love with you immediately because you're exactly like him?!?!?? he feels so seen and understood
- y'all are so dangerous omg toman is always stressing out so much cuz you two😭 definitely cannot be trusted to leave you two alone together
Mikey and the others watch from a distance as they see both you and Baji setting a car on fire. The only thing they're surprised about is how you two haven't been caught yet because this is the second car that you set on fire this week.
"Uh huh... sure" Chifuyu replies giving you a strange look. "Cmon don't look at us like that, it was insane, you gotta admit" Baji says. "What is wrong with you guys" Chifuyu says with that same strange look, but you don't hear him because you're both running off again, giggling like little kids.
Once you notice that they're staring, you two start running towards them while smiling and laughing like idiots. "Did you guys see that?!?!?" Baji asks while panting slightly. "It was fucking insane" you add, high fiving him as you look back at the car that's currently up in flames.
What are you two planning on doing this time? God knows... he also knows how Baji's racing heart isn't because of the adrenaline of the fire, but a different type of adrenaline, one that he's never felt before but he could definitely get high off of forever.
Tumblr media
a/n: once again, I'm so sorry that this took a while to get out, I'm finally off of school till 2022 so I should have time to work on everything!!

Could you do a natsu jealous one shot or head canon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ Summary- jealousy hc
♡ Character- Natsu Dragneel
♡ Warning- tiny suggestive material
♡ akdbsjdn im such a sucker for jealousy hcs I absolutely loved writing these so I hope you enjoyed them at much as I did 💕
Tumblr media
- first things first, Natsu is doesn’t get jealous easily. It’s has to do with both his dense-ness and his trust in you. So it’s kinda takes a lot for you to get him jealous but when it comes to other people he can easily get jealous.
- now most of his jealousy attitude stems from his dragon like instincts. He was raised by a dragon, so Natsu can’t help it if he’s a bit territorial.
- with that being said, when Natsu does get jealous. And when he does he’s very much the clingy yet cold shoulder type. He’ll be all over you, hardly not giving you any room to breath, but he’ll not tell you anything about.
- he does that when y’all go on missions. He’ll purposely invite you to missions just so you won’t have anyone else bother y’all. And he does drag you on missions a lot whether he’s jealous or not
- like before it’s you who makes Natsu mad or jealous, it’s always some other person. So Natsu definitely makes sure to take out his anger or ‘revenge’ on the other person.
- of course you always try to get Natsu not to but he’s definitely not making any promises.
- one of his favorite things to do when he gets jealous is to walk around or sitting with you with his hands around your waist and have his face right in your neck. It’s his way of warning others
- another big way he warns other is by marking you, literally. Some way, some how, Natsu will find a way to leave some type of mark on you. Mostly a hickey in a really obvious spot or a actual bite mark. He hardly even thinks about it when he does it
- Natsu is just a very touchy when he gets jealous. He practically touch you all day it does mater how he’ll find some way. A hand on your thigh or lower back or his hands would just be wrapped around you in general. It his ways of marking you at his own, but when he does that, he would say a word or tell you anything.
- overall, Natsu does not get jealous easily but when he does it’s very noticeable. Although it dose take a while for him to move on from being jealous, but at least you alway know that your not the one to blame, the only problem is how the other person is gonna
