thank you for your in-detail posts about my boi jin kazama and the tekken series in general i really enjoy your blog. yes, i agree the battle pass is bullshit and they should've either included them tekken 7 port outfit at launch or made new costumes for the cast.

anyways, i also hate how some people in the tekken fandom and outsiders thinks jin kazama is "selfish". i mean he is supportive of xiaoyu's dreams in tekken 4 and tekken 8 instead of calling her something like "an annoying foolish idiot for having such pathetic dreams". he also saved hwoarang's ass from the south korean military in hwoarang's tekken 4 ending. jin literally entered the king of iron fist tournament 3 and bothered with martial arts competitive tournaments in the first place because he thought his mother died and wanted to avenge her. hell he also saved lars's ass when he was about to die to kazuya and freed nina from being brainwashed by ogre. anyways like i said, your blog is amazing and i hope you have a wonderful day.

thank you so so much anon and you're welcome!!! the funny thing is, unlike many players, i wasn't even fully against the store when it was initially announced. like... i didn't mind the idea of buying legacy or new outfits they'd develop later into the game's release. i don't completely mind the idea of microtransactions as long as they're fairly priced and were good content for the price. the problem arose when i quickly realized the first 4 items were all ports from the older games. they were $5 per outfit for stuff they didn't even remake from the ground up, but instead we're paying $5 for assets that are outdated and look horrible compared to the graphics in tek8. and then the predatory practices of how you buy these assets. the fact that outfits are supposed to be $4, but the lowest amount of coins you can buy are the 500, so technically outfits are $5. the option to buy coins should be 100 ($1) 200 ($2) and then so on until you reach 2000 ($20) coins. so how they do that, along with the ports, is just super scummy. you should only have to pay for original content, not fuckin' ports (that frankly, sometimes modders port better lol) then the battle pass happened and it's like... really? do we REALLY need a season pass, a store, AND a battle pass? it's just so much. especially when the battle pass mostly had shit that should've been in the game already for free. (the female gi outfit??? even though males had that to begin with. or the eye colors - fuck, eyes should just be recolorable in general. and some hairs which were hairs we already had but ... they have to the option to be dual colored lol, and so on)

it drives me wild that there were so many people claiming jin was "selfish" or that he doesn't care about anyone. when not only did he do all that stuff you've mentioned, but like... i know a lotta ppl forget this, including the game's writers themselves, but the whole reason jin wanted to kill heihachi and kazuya to begin with is because he believed they were evil, and he wanted to save the world from their evil. like jin just wanted to save the world and protect people from the beginning. it's funny that a LOT of ppl would try to claim jin being evil makes sense because he wanted revenge in tek3??? even though the whole revenge thing was Only in his first appearance, and like... there are so many other characters who want revenge, too. ironically, i don't see anyone really calling miguel evil. also, it was said in the 3rd game that ogre was "absorbing souls" (like he did with heihachi) and i thought fighters from previous tournaments were "mysteriously disappearing". in jin's ending, when ogre burst into bright lights, i thought that was supposed to be the souls he took returning to their bodies. whilst i'm not entirely sure if that's true or not, if i am right, it would also mean jin saved many fighters. also in tk5, when jin said he couldn't keep his promise to hwoarang, and hwoarang immediately got angry (jealous????) by asking jin if he found "someone stronger" than him, jin immediately denies this by saying "that's not what i'm saying." if jin didn't care about hwoarang... wouldn't you think he'd insult hwoarang by calling him weak or trying to instigate him? no, instead - jin didn't even deny how strong hwoarang was, he was just simply busy with family drama.

also jin supporting xiao's dreams, supporting hwoarang, wanting to save the world, are evidence that jin isn't an "edgelord" like a lotta ppl like to call him. like the only "evidence" that jin was an "edgelord" is tekken 6 damages, and the fact he wanted to kill himself in tek4. but like... the only reason he wanted to kill himself because he feared devil posed a serious threat to the world and his loved ones. the only time jin acted uncaring was in tekken 6 and the era of tekken 6 (see street fighter x tekken, and the kof crossover) and well, i just think it's unfair to use that game to judge jin's character because goddamn, i KNOW it's jin, but it's not jin if you know what i mean. like if you compare tekken 6 jin to how jin was depicted in previous games (or even in 8), then he's completely unrecognizable - the only thing he really shares with the jin we all know and love is the name and the design lmao. but for some reason, ppl just can't look at the character critically like that.

anyway, my long rant is over with and i hope you are having a wonderful day, too!!! <:-)

twirls my hair HI OLLIEE i have lux questions...!!!!! 10, 23 (I'M A KARLUX SAP OKAY ,.!!!!), 48, & as a bonus treat u can use my ask as a Free Card to answer another question you really like from the tav ask list!!! happy luxposting! :3

kicks feet HIIII PARKER >:3c thank you for lux questions!!!! happy luxreading <333

10. If your Tav didn’t become an adventurer, what else would they be doing?

before the events of the game they were already a traveler but if they had to settle i think they would set up a shop selling the most bizarre useless shit (affectionate), like the equivalent of a fantasy thrift store that smells strongly of Incense and looks like howl movingcastle's bedroom. i also think a lot about them as a skyrim shopkeeper saying the same obnoxiously repetitive lines and idk why they're too hot to be a skyrim shopkeeper maybe more like a deltarune shopkeeper instead where they get tumblr sexymaned and sell you items that are totally not cursed

23. What is your Tav’s favorite moment they’ve had with their lover?

agh <3 it warms my heart that i got you into my silly little bg3 ship, getting to share them is such a treat :3 there are so many wonderful moments in game and that i headcanon that it's hard to choose the big favorite. (act 3 romance spoilers) a moment that's really dear to me and was really sentimental was how karlach planned their date in the city ahead of time and even insisted on scoping out the inn to make sure everything was perfect. just the level of thoughtfulness floored me. lux is so incredibly in love with her and how she says she's bad at flirting but then pulls off the most romantic shit like it's nothing. they have an adorable date where they roleplay as if this is a first date where they're just getting to know each other and they fail miserably at pretending they don't already know and love each other by heart. it's such an important moment for them to slow down and share some moments of normalcy amidst the chaos of their adventure, even if they're both giggling and being sooooo normal about each other.

48. Where does your Tav feel most at home?

it would be pretty corny to say home is by karlachs side but that is the correct answer and i cannot deny it. for the longest time lux has always been moving, estranged from the place they grew up and their previous guild, never staying in one location that they could call home. but the adventuring life is something that they wouldn't trade and so they find home in the little things that they love. one thing that is constant no matter where they go is the night sky. during the events of the game they find the greatest comfort laying in the grass beside the chionthar river, their insomnia keeping them up stargazing all night, the light in the sky reflecting back in the water while millions of fireflies twinkle in the cool night air, all bathed in the blue and gold. and it's one of their favorite pastimes to share with karlach, they prefer it more with her company. also spoilers for the new epilogue but a character asks this same question and this was one of the responses available due to the choices i had made and i think about it a lot. you can make hell a home with the right person by your side <3 edit: forgor to note avernus has no stars so *looks at crumpled note* she is the sun

FREE CARD! (literally) 64. What Tarot Card best represents your Tav?

this one's a bit on the nose but i've taken a lot of inspiration from the star major arcana for lux's character and who they aspire to be. the visuals of the star card usually depicts a figure pouring water from each hand as a symbol for balance and the card represents intuition, inspiration, little glimmers of hope and the strength to carry on ✨

[read] the world doesn't deserve gordo

I SWEAR IF HE'S HURTING ONE MORE TIME... I'M. ADOPTING THE 38 YEARS OLD MAN MYSELF!!!

GORDO!! MARK!! they're so precious as little kids... The little raven carve? This is all a car crash and I'm so invested... Please....

Thomas... Is Thomas a slime. Was he always been a slime??? He's not a slime in book 1...

Why the hell would a dad tattoos his kid at the young age of 8???? they can barely make decisions!! ERM.... GORDO IS 12 HES JUST A KID!! my son!! This is child labor what the fluff?! FIND ANOTHER WITCH WHAT THE HELL is there a witch shortage

Ngl not liking how the human love interest, referred to 'mate', is seen as an item here rather than like, human. Like they weren't given a choice after a wolf sets their eyes upon them. Idk... then again that's just richard talking.

Gordo my son is traumatized, he was barely given a choice!! #justiceforgordo

Gordo... He's my father fr😔 HES BONDING WITH THE KIDS AUGSHSHSH JOE LAUGHED ??friendfriend?friend??

Gordo he deserved everything... I'm not ready for whatever train crash that gonna happens. Is Marty gonna be murdered too😭 is Mark going to betray him too😭

ABEL IS A SLIME I NEED HIM TO dye his hair pink or something

Mark is so whipped man😭 CUTE CUTE CUTE inject this shit to my veins (I don't know shit about drugs)

Is the girl Meredith king... Have my son gordo not suffered enough... THERE SHE IS... No wonder gordo would be 38 and traumatized like... One parents manipulated him, the other murdered someone, wolves would? Eventually betray him, enemies of wolves aka the hunters are mad extremist like...

This would be so great to read in a manga media like maybe as a seinen thriller mystery romance kinda Manga published monthly PLEASEEE I can imagine the colorspread the dramatics I think I've said it in wolfsong already BUT STILL look even the villains is dramatic they're quirky (Meredith u lunatic queen)

I swear if you thomas blamed this on my son gordo... ELIZABETH YOU'RE ON THIN ICE...

maternal bonds😭 this is when Elizabeth began doing dinners again back at green creek I'm weeping shes so strong

DID GORDO KILL THE WITCH... HUH...

Now why am I sad for this King guy... Klune is ruthless to side characters

FUCK YOU THOMAS... he's always being the one who babble about "oh but everything is a choice" and then ONLY. MADE CHOICES FOR AND BY HIMSELF LIKE?? THIS HAPPENED A LOT IN BOOK 1 TOO I am so mad. At the end of the day gordo's mother is right. U have to make your own choices not take whatever others gave you. damn I'm hurting. My son gordo. Thomas hate.

Fuck this pack dynamics the bennets alphas are certified selfish pricks (abel, thomas, joe yes u too joe u were one )

I'm going insane we only have Marty to trust in this house

As much as I adore the cutiepie mark... This romance isn't working bro like gordo is hurting hsgsjdjdjjjs also... Freaking THOMAS said to gordo not to lead Mark's feeling BUT LOOK WHAT HE FACILITATED INSTEAD?? for Mark to lead on gordo's feeling instead by making him visit the teenage boy every 6 month??? fucking hypocrite you thomas bennett

I am so bitter that Thomas were portrayed to be this saintly father figure to ox who give wise wisdoms (fReEdOm oF cHoIcE) and train with him when he's basically the catalyst to every evil thing in the world. I know, I know, character flaws and all. I just feel lied because he's horrible. Don't care about his reasoning! Couldn't even be gentler about it to gordo.

Fuck me mark is so sweet I HATE THE BENNETTSS AHHHHHHGGHGGSHHS

I feel really uncomfortable with the spice? scenes can we skip

I will also always side 100% with my son gordo BACK AWAY MARK can't even write hello monthly like fuck off with the mate bullshit he's been hurting for YEARS! you have your packs but gordos. Marty's dead! And you(plural) didn't call back! However sweet mark is he's still a Bennett.

I hate it here I hate it here I hate it heree AHHHHH I HATE IT HERE fucking Thomas ruining lives

Hmmm I need a proper groveling from Mark he can attribute his absence to his father but in the end he still aligns himself not to gordo anyway like?

ROMABCES ASIDE I like (love love love) the dynamics in the garage guys and robbie made a good addition to the crew too 😭 they're adorable pls

Ermmmmm why is gordo being pushed to be the one initiating talk?? Guys?? he's the one being wronged???? ELIZABETH??? MARK WHAT IS YOUR REASON FOR NEGLEGIENCE TO YOUR 'MATE' HUH??

This sucks if it leans to the one hurting being the one to make things work like... I NEED TO SLEEP.

FUCK SLEEP.

Tj klune really excels at this homey dynamics scene!! This scene involves like 11? Characters simply just blabbering and it felt so endearing shgshsh

Who the hells wears jeans on commando MARK???? I get it werewolves can heals fast BUT ZIPPER ARE PEAK HORRORS

#readingrams #ravensong #green creek series #thomas is a prick and I'm only a quarter way through the book #in this house we stan marty the only responsible father figure #Thomas Bennett hate

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 139

Defending Your Life/Cold Blood

Mmmm, so, if it feels like I'm not invested in these episodes because I don't say much, it's because the two small highlights of my day could not go toe to toe with the avalanche of bullshit I had to put up with at work today. Like, no doubt they were nice, but the number of times I got interrupted with one task because people are impatient (read: can't wait more than five LITERAL seconds) and the woman I was working with was slow as hell (like, physically would not do her job with any haste in order to take any amount of pressure off of me who was already helping the greater portion of clients, had to tackle all of the "coming back from vacation" things, AND kept having people bring new issues and items to my desk), so that's gonna be my defense if this is not what it normally is

"Defending Your Life"

Plot Descriptions: Sam and Dean investigate murders of people who have their guilty pasts come back and kill them. Could Dean be next?

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: HOW guilty does your past have to be? I'm just saying. We're all guilty of things. How bad do those things have to be to warrant this? Because I don't think I've done anything that would necessitate it

You're right. It IS weird that you're working a normal case. It's been FOREVER.

God. Can't wait for Sam to find out what Dean did to Amy. That'll end well.

How recently did the guy know he was going to die? He paid for three years worth of flowers for the grave of a girl it definitely seems like he accidentally killed. So I guess, it has to be THAT bad.

That dog just teleported through that wall...to kill a dude at a diner. Sure, why not?

How the absolute fuck is this happening?? So. These people go to a random apple farm and a random bar and then all of a sudden, they're marked for death???

Bet it's not a ghost and it doesn't sound like a demon, so I don't think this guy is all that protected

So, is it the bartender or the guy in the baseball cap who got JUST ENOUGH screen time but didn't actually say anything?

Omg Dean...........psyching himself up to potentially get laid. It's......it's kind of adorable, honestly

Ruh roh. Dean got taken...so, it looks like the guy in the baseball cap is Osiris because Sam's on the phone with the bartender

Yeah, I told you that salt wasn't gonna do shit

This is FASCINATING. Do Egyptian gods have to abide by American law?? Sam's trying to play lawyer for Dean, and it's...not going well. He was, after all, just pre law.

Osiris isn't exactly playing fair in this trial with his witness calling and questioning. (Unless he calls Amy...)

Yeah...Dean knows he fucked up there. So now he's been sentenced to die (what else is new for the Winchesters??)

Why would Osiris send Jo to kill Dean when she never blamed him. That's......a lot.

Cool cool cool. Glad we're still keeping this whole Amy thing a secret.

Wonder how that's going to shake out, Sam not feeling guilt about his past anymore...

"Cold Blood"

Plot Description: The Silurians are awake, and angry. The Silurians are preparing for war, a war that could decide who gets to live on earth, The Silurians or-the humans...

Genuinely love how tough Amy acts when she really just got lucky.

It's hard to feel like the Silurian they have captive is wrong...do I like her actions? No. This man had no idea that there was a whole underground civilization that...seems to have been driven there by humans long ago. BUT...her rage is understandable

There's so much set up and it's kind of boring (or I'm tired, who's to say?) but I also can't find it in me to just dictate the action either

Amy and the guy who was taken at the beginning of last episode have found the Silurian army, they're poised for war but they're not doing anything yet.........no one seems to be ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING. The Doctor's trying to convince someone he's not human, Rory's just apologizing for not being the police (never apologize for that, babes), and another dude is dying of Silurian poisoning.........but they're all moving so freaking slowly

This woman is having one of the worst run of days. My day seems like a walk in the park compared to having your husband and son abducted and your dad poisoned all by the same species who are now trying to wage war on yours.

Yeah...she...fucked it up for everyone. Sure she only used a taser, but damn...you REALLY REALLY fucked up

It does suck that this ONE Silurian wanted the war and orchestrated the start to it.

It's sad watching this negotiation session for a couple reasons: 1. that one lady's actions are going to fuck it all up, and 2. the lady scientist's only concern is how allotting space for the Silurians to come up to the surface to live is what benefit could the possibly bring to humans? And it's giving really gross vibes.

OMG, this woman is the WORST. She's going about all of this in all the wrong ways.

Yeah, I love the optimism here, but it is naive (or I'm cranky). This one kid would be at best made fun of forever for trying to convince people that lizard people live under the Earth's crust and we need to prepare to share the world with them.

Man...if the Doctor hadn't stopped to investigate the crack, Rory would be alive right now

Episode 3: The Phoenix Feather

Woo! Anime Hotaru! Let's hope she makes a better first impression than her manga counterpart. She starts out taking care of a stranger's grunty by her request, giving her a better introduction already.

Anyway, Mireille is showing the group her secret room. She uses the opportunity to appraise Shugo's bracelet, pointing out it's a high-level item. When Shugo wonders why the item fucked up on him in the last episode, Ouka points out that since the item is high level, the player who uses it needs to be high level too. Shugo's low level keeps the item from being 100% effective. The girls then decide to go out with Shugo to grind, kicking ass as he gets his ass kicked. But not to worry! Because he's in a group, their points are shared with him so he levels up anyway.

Reki reports to Balmung about the twins and vague shit is discussed. Then we're back to the gang where they're still grinding. Due to Ouka's tutelage, Rena's allowed to be an effective fighter before Shugo (which makes more sense when you think about it) which is a considerable improvement over the manga where she is weak all throughout. She even levels up faster than him because she's the one who goes off to train when he's not around. Anyway, this is all a moot point because Shugo's dumbass opens a level down chest (Hello, bitch-ass Reaper from Gauntlet: Dark Legacy...I haven't forgotten you.) and he's back down to level one. Furious, he ports out and sulks off in town. There, he meets Hotaru and her Grunty.

The Grunty is sick because of course it is and the two take it to a doctor. The only way to cure it is through the Phoenix Feather (Get it?) and it's located in a dangerous location. But not to worry! Shugo's group is hella strong, right? See, the thing is...Rena's whole gung-honess about getting stronger is affecting her real life, namely her schoolwork. Her mom's not happy so no game for her for a while. When he has trouble contacting Rena, Shugo decides that Hotaru and he will track down the Phoenix Feather themselves.

After preparing (including getting several items to ensure their escape should they run into strong monsters) Shugo is off with his healer buddy. It's a difficult trek but, against all odds...they managed to get trapped by monsters in a hallway. Shugo wants to use the bracelet but the risks with it stops him. Hotaru tries to bargain with the monsters (stupid but makes more sense here since a) they have no way of fighting them and b) she doesn't stop Shugo from fighting them; it was a last resort) but it looks like they're screwed...until that old samurai guy from the episode shows up to save them. His name's Sanjuro (Who I now realize it voiced by Steve Blum) and with his help, they get the Phoenix Feather and save the grunty.

The owner shows up to get the grunty back despite the hell the trio went through to save it but soon Rena and the rest show up to...beat the owner into compliance? Heroism? Anyway, Sanjuro goes off to meet with Balmung who instructs him to watch over Shugo. Why? Because...he's the key to Twilight.

THOUGHTS

First off, LOVE that Hotaru is more tolerable this time around. I also like Shugo being less of a wimp in this adaptation without it having to come at Rena's expense who is allowed to be a more skilled player based on the fact that she's simply been playing games for longer. The ending turned me off a bit (Why did the grunty owner have to be such a bitch all of a sudden? And why was justice an implied beating?) but overall, I'm happy with the changes to the manga.

Homestuck, page 1,358

[S] ACT 4 ==>

walkthrough: http://readmspa.org/transcripts/readmspa-transcript-6_003258_John_explores_LOWAS_with_help_from_Nannasprite_transcript_and_walkthrough.html

Song used: Doctor by Buzinkai

song commentary:

Clark Powell:

Doctor was originally by Buzinkai and then a now non-active member Michael Vallejo added a few bits of percussion to it. I then put together a larger mix of the tune with shinier production and a glockenspiel tag, and this was the version Andrew used in the end.

Buzinkai:

Doctor was written before Homestuck, actually. The only thing I can really remember was that Super Smash Bros Brawl came out right before I finished it. The original loop (which is not the one specifically heard in the comic, but was included in the album release) was directly inspired by music from Cave Story, and I was trying to at the time musically embody how I felt at the time, I think. Though it never seems to come out exactly as I plan it, I enjoyed the results. I will say that I cannot truly believe how many people have remixed it.

The arpeggio part at the end goes between the left, both, and right speakers sequentially. I was too lazy to set the channel settings manually, so I did each note on a different instrument, which is set to each speaker channel. Not many people know that, and I think it actually made it a living hell for remixers who got a hold of the original file.

Author commentary:

Welcome to Book 3, which obviously starts with Act 4, which obviously starts with Gate 1. I mean…obviously? Glad that's obvious to everyone. What's also PAINFULLY obvious to anyone looking at this page, no matter who they are, is that this [used to be] a loading screen. Hot Flash Content is being piped directly into your [browser], right now, at the speed of bullshit. We're off to a great start here in the author notes section. Hey remember Flash loading screens? Those were the days. You needed SOMETHING to look at while untold KILOBYTES were crawling through your ethernet cables. In this case, I chose to dazzle you with a hypnotically morphing spirograph. You quickly went into a trance of fascination. The suspense built. Cue the music. and then…….magic.

>1: Okay, no magic here. No music or movement, because it's [not Flash]! All you get is my goofs. Sorry, sucker. Let's talk about this animation. It's pretty damn enchanting, really. We finally get to see what's under those gray clouds. It's a bunch of fireflies, and a blue landscape with phosphorescent flora and black oily rivers. Act 4 marks the official beginning of the scenery porn era of Homestuck.

>2: Or "LOWAS," as becomes the model for further nomenclature in reference to Homestuck's lands. These "lands," of course, are fairly small planets. Hard to say how big exactly. I don't think I ever really did any due diligence on the cosmological scale of these bodies. They're big enough to explore and get lost in but not so huge as to be hopelessly unchartable. I guess I always pictured them being like a small state in the US. Like if Rhode Island or Connecticut were wrapped around a sphere. Literally doing so would make for a fairly lackluster land, suitable for a pretty bland player of Sburb. (I suppose such as…every resident of those particular states? Why…why am I alienating these people already? It's only the fourth page. Oh well, forty-eight states to go, I guess.)

>3: OKAY LET'S CUT THE SHIT AND TALK ABOUT THIS FLASH! It's a playable game. That turned out to be a thing in HS. As a Flash loaded, readers would wonder…is this going to be a GAME? (Virtually always: no. But sometimes…sometimes, yes!) This one is similar in style to the game when John first enters the Medium and can wander around his house, but this time there's ACTUAL battle mechanics.. You can bonk imps with a hammer, collect grist and items—all rather pointlessly, I should add. But you can do it, is the point. Why? I really couldn't fucking tell you, to this day. I think I was legitimately insane? This, with perfectly brutal honesty, I must admit now strikes me as something a crazy person would do.

>4: I suppose the upshot of the game format is that it lets the player wander around this fantastical new land and discover its mysteries just like John is doing. Actually, YOU don't get to. You get to [click] through this [set of images] with your grubby fingers while I struggle through a borderline state of dementia, heroically trying to remember what I was thinking when I made this. But some people sure did get to do that. Anyway, this is what happens when you click that icon in the upper right. John gets to talk to Nanna, like…there's some sort of comm system back to his sprite? Sprites technically can't go far from the house after their player enters the Medium. That's the strict rule of Sburb. Until much, much later, when it stops being all that strict, for reasons that are unlikely ever to be explained, even by the WISEST of sprites.

>7: Here's a little taste of the gameplay. You click on a thing and a menu pops up, which includes what is…technically a text command that is being entered by…the player of Homestuck? (Who has at this point been revealed to be any given exile, operating the post-apocalypse Sburb station.) It's pretty esoteric. But you don't need to think about any of this to play the game, get a sense of John's rad land, meet some scurrilous foes in need of a bashing, and feel like a cool hero.

>18: The ghost gauntlets holding that ridiculous paisley hammer are just a fixture of the environment in this game. I didn't want them to be an item you could use, because that would have been complicated to implement. It was a little attention to detail on my part, by which I mean my inclination to consider how John could wield this huge hammer in his inventory. Specific items that are accrued by the players become a lot less relevant much later in the story. Because it stops being a thing about a Guy In A Game You Are "Playing," and starts being more about a bunch of Characters In A Story You Are Reading, Who Are Sad All The Time.

>20/23: Here we meet a "consort." Or, a salamander, in the case of John's planet. All planets have consorts, usually a different kind of amphibian or reptile for each. Why amphibians or reptiles? Didn't I cover this already in another book note? Oh. You don't remember either? Well, guess we're in the same boat then. (Consorts have very short life spans, which is the joke here.) And a parcel pyxis is like a pipe mailbox they throw shit in to send places. They have a whole pipe-based civilization, but the pipes are all clogged with oil, and… You know, I did a much better job with this worldbuilding stuff by letting you understand it all in the game through exploration and inference. Too bad you're not playing it now, so you get remedial lore for boneheads down here.

>29: This salamander laments the desecration of a glorious village frog idol. (Frogs are sacred. This fact will be as important as it is frequently repeated.) He talks about the underling swarm dedicated to destroying and oiling up such idols as a "recent" event, as if this village has existed for hundreds of years and only now have the underlings emerged to wreak mischief. This is in keeping with the strange paradox of planets in the Medium: the fact that they were just created instantly through booting up the game, and yet have always existed with entire smorgasbords of ready-made lore and quests for the players to engage with.

>36: Here this sassy salamander alludes to an alliance that John's denizen seems to have formed with the agents of Derse. Those are the "terrible guys" who commissioned the underlings. The denizens aren't really the bad guys of this game. They're more like ornery yet neutral gods of these planets, who can help or harm depending on the circumstances. Derse agents are the formal bad guys, whose designated role is to obstruct the progress of the heroes, vandalize frog statues, antagonize frog enthusiasts, and dislike frogs in general.

>37/38/40: Are you thrilled about sifting through layers of worldbuilding as conveyed through the expository bubblings of enthusiastic amphibians? Then this is the page for you. It's a pretty straightforward outline of John's formal quest on this planet. Wake the monster, kill the monster. Clean the pipes, release the Breeze. The Breeze clears the clouds, the fireflies go free. That's the goal. What does it all MEAN? That is for YOU, the reader, to boggle over, forever. It's worth nothing that when John actually gets around to doing all this, the meaning of completing this quest and the thing that it actually accomplishes are radically different than what the present stakes of the story are understood to be at this point. There is, throughout this tale, an ever-present tension between the hero's quest as presented at face value and the hero's True Quest—the mysterious journey overlaying and superseding the shallow journey described by consorts, sprites, et al—which the kids must come to grips with. >41/43: This is a pretty good procession of salamanders talking about important stuff, which perhaps makes you think it's all leading up to an encounter with some sort of regal presence in the village. Perhaps a tribal leader. But no, it's just this fool, farming all these goddamn mushrooms. The Mushroom Farmer is just notable enough of a salamander to be known to fandom as the Mushroom Farmer, and would probably be credited that way in the end credits if this were a movie. Same goes for the fellow below wearing the hat. He's known as Crumplehat. Trust me on this. >45: See? I told you his name was Crumplehat. Maybe try to fucking believe me next time I tell you stuff. >51: There are two reasons why John can only say no to this offer. First, I would have had to program an alternate path where he gives up the suit, as well as change the sprite to reflect that, and permanently introduce a fork in the story where John either sells the suit or doesn't. The second reason is it's just a straight-up dogshit offer. Giving someone a boondollar for something is like offering them a penny you found in the toilet.

>58: Salamanders are pretty good at trolling, actually. So are lots of figures in Homestuck. Like John's nanna, his dad, John himself, all his friends, and also all the characters who are literally called trolls. I guess there are a lot of characters who like to troll each other because that is my forte, you could say, as a storyteller? This could also explain why characters who are actual trolls entered the story. They simply manifested as an extension of the story's nature.

>65: Oh Christ, the Secret Wizard. I forgot about him. Yeah, him too. He's also a really big-deal salamander. (Just joking, he's actually a small deal.) He's a simple man. All he really wants you to do is behold his robes. That's it.

>67: John's bedsheet will show up again later as well. It makes quite a trip through the story, actually, and appears in a surprising number of panels. Specifically, every single panel that WV appears in. Surprised? No? Oh. Well, let's just say you are, and move on. (Okay, wait, before we move on I should clarify something. WV's shroud is actually the dream version of John's bedsheet. The Secret Wizard just keeps this oily, shitty one forever, and then starts some sort of cult. Okay, NOW we can move on.)

>70-72: So in other words, their entire mail system revolves around putting shit in the pipes, having it sent to completely random places, and whoever gets it gets it. This sounds pretty stupid, but I guess it's part of their religion or something. So you have to respect it.

>78-84: When you're playing through this game, I guess one of the more low-key, gradually unfolding jokes is how it slowly becomes apparent that all the garbage from John's house that he carelessly launched out windows and fumbled over cliffs ended up down here to be scavenged by a bunch of enterprising salamanders who try to pawn all the items back on him. Or just keep them as incredible new accessories.

>81: Five million boonies really isn't all that much, huh.

>84: I'm glad we dedicated an entire page to the choice John makes in refusing to buy back his own shitty clown statue from this guy. Look. This is my ART, people. It needs room to BREATH.

>87/88: Maybe one of the strangest traits of salamanders is how acerbically self-deprecating they are. Maybe they just hate themselves? They'd be far from the only ones in this tale. Also, here's a nice, snap game-design thing I thought of on the fly, when this game was being "developed" over a span of literally about forty-eight hours. Just put a damn bubble with a telescope in it hovering at exactly the place where the player needs to use the scope. That way, they use the scope, and they don't NOT use the scope. So you can see what's in the scope, over there. Incredible.

>90-93: Here's what's in the scope: a view of John's house up on a tall rock-spire plateau, way off in the distance. This view gives you a sense of how far John traveled by going through his gate, the relative proximity of his house, and the fact that the house is inaccessible for a while at least. It also reveals a little more about gate logic and the distances they can send you, and helps you start to imagine hopping all around this world via gates to complete your quest. Oh, and I guess this is kind of a cool shot? Sure.

>94-100: And here Nanna basically explains some stuff I just explained on the previous page. The point, obviously, is to browbeat you with explanations of Sburb game logic fundamentals until you start crying. Here's another thing I guess I haven't mentioned yet: walking through this game gives you a pretty good appreciation of the variety of imps, now that there's been another pre-entry prototyping. Remember Rose entering the game just as John goes through his gate? Now we get to observe all these imps in princess gear, or with tentacles, or cat parts, or some permutation of all three.

>100:And once again Nanna steals my thunder by explaining a thing I just explained. Damn it, Nanna. I feel your pain, John. She's absolutely brutal.

>107: More sass from one of these bastards. I feel like I'm getting fucking roasted every time they open their mouths. I'd look up at the sky and ask "Why, God?" But it's not that mysterious. I'm getting roasted by my past self and his snarkyass writing. If he wasn't trapped back in 2010 or so, I'd ask him why he wrote these damn lizards to be a bunch of wiseasses. "That's just all I know," he would probably say. Yeah, I feel you man. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're funny as hell. But, why? I don't… Oh, never mind. Now I sound like a person who is insane. I'll try to do better.

>111: Oh, here's the end of the game. That game was a single panel of Homestuck. And here we are, on…page 30? Thirty pages' worth of annotations just to cover the first panel of Act 4. I think I need to lie down.

Stardust Crusaders w a Chubby s/o!

Gender neutral reader babey!! Also added Iggy (platonic) to replace Old Joseph because the most I got was sugar daddy Joseph. He has that Speedwagon Foundation money, that's it.

Also this really do be showing who my favorites are out of them skdndkkd

~ Jotaro Kujo ~

He doesn't care what you look like, but that doesn't stop him from checking you out occasionally. You look different compared to a lot of students he's seen at his school and he highkey low-key likes what he's seeing

Looks just aren't that important to Jotaro in my opinion, he knows what it feels like to be given unwanted attention or people only wanting him just for his looks and nothing else. Why would he act the same way to you?

That being said, if you are in a relationship with him he's surprisingly sweet.

When y'all are alone he likes to give you little complements while you're cuddled up beside him or on top of him, playing with his hair.

Not the biggest on pda because he knows that the rest of the group *cough cough* Joseph and Polnareff *cough cough* would tease him to hell and back, but sometimes Star Platinum would be sneaky and give you surprise hugs from the back while he rubs his cheek against your chubby ones

It never fails to make you let out a little chuckle and you kiss him on the cheek to show appreciation to both Joot and Star <3

I fully believe that his favorite part of your body are your big arms. Like they're so soft omg and when the group can rest for a bit he likes to rest his head on them and silently enjoy how soft they are

You like to tease him about how soft he can be and you'll get one out of three reactions: Him pulling his hat down to hide a flustered Jotaro, a playful (but still scaring looking) glare, or a flick to the forehead

~ Noriaki Kakyoin ~

I feel like he wouldn't be too shy about his attraction to you, complimenting you at random times but it wouldn't be overbearing. It's mostly just to see how cute your face looks when your face heats up and you try to quicky push away the flustered feelings

How couldn't he not find you attractive? I like to think that he's a huge art nerd and your figure reminds him of those people in paintings who radiated beauty and gracefulness

Uh yea doesn't matter if you literally go feral in fighting, that's all that comes to his mind when he sees you sjsnsjsk

Somewhat shy when it comes to pda, but he is touched starved so he'll always link his slim fingers with your soft and chubby ones while you guys travel

Loves to lay his head on your fluffy stomach, twirl his lil hair noodle and he'll fall asleep within 5 minutes

This is a very good thing to exploit when he's up late playing on his Game Boy that sneaked in while preparing for the trip to Egypt

Just fuckin uh y a n k him into cuddle time and he'd probably won't complain too much. You're warm and it's very nice.

His favorite body part is your thick thighs, he likes to lay between them while he plays his game. You're his favorite gaming chair technically.

Eh don't worry though he gives lil celebratory kisses to them everytime he wins a game

~ Jean-Pierre Polnareff ~

Absolutely adores plus sized bodies! There's more to love and hold onto, you know?

Your biggest supporter, supplier of confidence, and the booster of your ego

"Oh Mon cheri/Ma Cherie! You look so amazing in those new clothes! Your curves look wonderful as always!~"

He's beefy as all hell and he will lift you up. Literally doesn't matter how heavy you think you are you are getting treated like royalty

Squeezes your soft frame like a teddy bear sometimes.

Enjoys pda, but like it's mostly having his arm around your squishy waist and if you aren't comfortable with it he'll respect it 1000%!

Will absolutely show you off to anyone and everyone! He almost got decked by Star once for annoying Jotaro because he kept going on and on about you and you just laughed at it

Enjoys having you lay on top of him, ngl it's like his own weighted blanket and you get to be able to bury your face in his big bara tiddies

He likes to touch you a lot and enjoys holding you close at night. I just think it's because he wants to double check to see if you're actually real. He's lost a lot of loved ones and has been learning to cherish them more before they're gone and having you here with him and staying for as long as you have makes him fear that he'll lose you for a tiny bit so he takes any opportunity to get to be with you.

I think he'd just admire your stretch marks! It makes you unique and he loves the way you laugh when he places lil smooches all over them

~ Muhammad Avdol~

Absolute sweetheart the love I have for this man is immeasurable ajdjsksjsn he's so gentle with you it doesn't matter how you look he would love you regardless your size

He seems like a man who is proud of his knowledge and appreciation of other cultures, his favorite thing is to feed you his favorite foods, watching your eyes light up while he tells you interesting facts about how they make it and where it comes from

Really not one to go wild on pda, hand holding or draping an arm around you around you to keep you close is what he's comfortable with

He seems like he'd know how to bake omg he'd absolutely lose it if you baked with him because he can just sneak up behind you, wrap his arms around your tummy, while just acting like the close proximity between your faces isn't making your face show visible signs of your mind going 'y/n.exe has stopped working'

His robe is absolutely huge on you and it's your favorite blanket when the group has to sleep in the desert.

I can imagine it smelling so nice like what comes to mind is white sage?? Anyways, his coat is definitely a comfort item you wear on those days where you do feel a bit insecure. It's big, soft, and smells like the man that brings you the most comfort.

His chickens adore you so much!! Literally they would have to or else Muhammad would not be in a relationship with you lmao, he believes they have good judgement and they're like his kids.

They love to be by your side and they love to be in your lap, you're just so soft it's like heaven to them

Yea his favorite body part is your plush tummy! He just finds it cute and it's his favorite thing to either rest his head on or grab onto while cuddling! If you wear a crop top (or shirtless if you're a masc person and crop tops aren't your thing :) ) and his face just burns up omg you're so handsome/beautiful how did he ever get so lucky

~Iggy (Platonic. Of course.)~

(IM SO SORRY BUT I'M LAUGHING AT THIS PICTURE SO MUCHS SKSHSKNSKSKS)

You're his owner, the only one who can pet and dote on him like the little feral baby he is <3

He lets you take a piece of his coffee gum and occasionally steals treats for the both of you to share sometimes

Although the majority of it goes to Iggy because it's all covered in dog drool

When it's car ride time he loves to lay in your lap or sometimes he forces has you carry him around because he enjoys being able to relax in your big arms

If people start staring at you inappropriately, including any of the Crusaders, expect them to get barked and growled at

If anyone decides to make rude comments surrounding your weight, enemy or not, they're getting their hair ripped out and their left shoe shit in <3

You make sure to buy him extra gum and call him a good boy

He's like your furry little bodyguard, if anyone does or talks some shit, they're going to get hit

Prompted by the lovely @dafan7711 to give a creativity update and whatnot. Thank you, D!

Art: I'll be reopening commissions very shortly! I'm currently looking at saving up for a new screen tablet. I'm just finishing off a commission and art trade.

Writing: Writing a lot of GreedFall! OK, let's be honest, a lot of DS/Vasco; apparently the pairing just won't let go and I'm enjoying developing Marie. Current WIPs:

Editing Bontemps, the first and biggest fic I wrote for these two. The "the DS/Vasco romance never happened in canon" AU where after months of de Sardet locking herself away post Good Ending and being all grievey, Vasco's like, "I'm off to get confirmation of being Fleet Commander, Cabral says we've blown most of our secrets to you anyway, wanna go on holiday with me provide some moral support?" Featuring: Holiday episode, culture clash, mutual accidental courting, sea vistas, the ghost of Constantin in dS' head, Kurt being deeply sick of... whatever's going on between dS and Vasco ugh he doesn't want to know, mistaken for dating, 63k of pining, graphic depictions of handholding, a ball, overly intense UST healing sequences because I haven't changed my tastes in ten years since I was writing DAO... uh. A lot. Editing, to be posted.

The "Hey, this noble doesn't suck. We might actually... be friends?" fic, a.k.a. Marie and Vasco circling each other in mutual impressed wariness in early game leading up to the "Are you mad at me?" conversation. 11k, nearly done. Featuring Síora chats and class weirdness.

The "Marie and Vasco met in a pub few days before setting off, copped off together not realising who the other was, meet in Serene harbour and go 'oh shit no.' a.k.a "Tru you made this fun smut AU have class angst in it." 15k so far?

A swift, silly thing where Kurt finds out that Marie and Vasco are an item

A whump prompt about Vasco realising that maybe he needs to let his lover look after him a little, after years of being strong for a crew and brushing off pain

An, er, masquerade AU of a sort. Vasco pulls a Cinderella, figuring Marie will know it's him but a mask and sneaking in might a) give him a chance to get a glimpse of the world he missed out on due to being in the Nauts, so he can know it's really not all that b) give him the courage to finally goddamn say something to her rather than pining and sadly/annoyedly reading love poetry. Closest AU to canon. May possibly involve some angst over her being all "oh, there's this fellow I'm very interested in and he's wonderful but I also don't want to flirt when he's stuck with me and we're friends but I'm sure he's oblivious to my interest or doesn't reciprocate it" while Vasco's standing there thinking, "oh hell yes but also I shouldn't be hearing this." About 3k at the moment.

Some more Driftwood, the AU where Marie is a sad tree god.

Most recently written: Kurt having the "oh god they're a thing aren't they, I don't want to know" realisation.

"Oi, Green-blood, training!" It's somewhere between habit and genuine need, at this point; that was a damn near lost fight and they all were exhausted when they tramped into camp, but all that tells him is that they need new strategies for fighting these damn beasts. He was prepared for wolves, maybe, not bear-beavers that try to rip off his leg and beat him to death with it. Muscle memory will get them through, so any time training it is too important to waste.

He doesn't hear the sleepy mumble that says she's up. He frowns, and says, "You better be decent in there," and gives her a minute before lifting the flap of her tent.

Her empty tent.

Note

Tokoyami takes full advantage of the darker parts of his quirk when he threatens you. You feel trapped in an eternal darkness, like the air was being stolen out of your lungs. He speaks simply, but full of venom. He's shrouded by this aura of calm vexation. He feels toxic to even be around and his apparent apathy makes it more scary. He feels no guilt when he's reached that point. He's one of the slowest to get angry, and when he does, there's no stopping him. You'd never been scared of the dark until that day.

Momo says how she can buy everything you own. How she could take everything that gives you happiness until you're a shell of what you once were. How she has connections, and could ruin your life with a simple phone call. She radiates pure, controlled rage and you want to get away as fast as possible. You feel as if you're going to die at any moment and from that day forward you'll always look over your shoulder, too scared to sleep.

Uraraka is right next to Shoto in scary, and beside Izuku in surprising. She threatens in smiles. Her usual cheery attitude and excitement don't fade as she happily tells you how she'll make your life a living hell. She laughs as she says how she'll make you watch everyone you care about die before you, knowing you could have avoided it. She doesn't raise her hand, but she leaves you trembling and wetting your pants. You'll have nightmares. Sounds like Toga? It's because they're girlfriends.

Shoto is incredibly blunt with his threats. He somehow corners you alone, and calmly tells you how he could kill you, make it look like an accident, get rid of the body, and get away with it. In excruciating detail. He'll leave you sacred for your life, and regretting the day you got on his bad side.

Tsu will stare into the depths or your soul, daring you to piss her off. Being incredibly blunt, she will, just to make sure you get the message, just walk up to you and threaten to slit your throat or something.

Izuku has, after the first year, gotten into the habit of outright threatening pro heroes. It's blackmail more times than not, he has the info to ruin them. It started with Endeavor, then slowly All Might, after he got sick of beings pushed too hard, and extended until all pro heroes that weren't Aizawa, Present Mic, or Fatgum were doing his bidding.

Tenya regularly subtly threatens to call Japanese CPS on Endeavor to knock him down some rankings on the hero list. Nothing he can be charged with, and nothing that anyone out of 1A can trace back to him, but threats to keep him in-line. Have to make him know his place every now and then.

Izuku and Shoto would be the heroes parents want their kids to look up to. Momo and Mina would be the heroes parents want their female kids to look up to, specifically.

You know how 1A all want to be like All Might (mostly)? When they find out what being a 'Symbol Of Peace' really entails, I don't think they'd want to be on anymore. So they'd become beacons of hope, with Izuku shining the brightest out of all of them.

I know they don't technically have to live together if they're all part of one big hero agency. But like. It would be so fun if they did. And with the local rich kids (Momo, Tenya and Shoto), God knows it's gonna be some big-ass mansion. And it'd be sort of a throwback of sorts to the dorms. And I feel as if they'd the be glad for that familiarity, with how much change is occurring. And also, Bakugo and Monoma under the same roof would be fucking hilarious.

I want to see Shoto deck a fellow UA student for saying the wrong thing. Like maybe they'd say "Bakugo acts like a such a villain, no wonder everyone is scared of him." And Shoto would just look around to see Ochaco holding Izuku back with identical looks of rage on their faces. He'd see Bakugo looking down at his feet, trying his best to look unbothered, but his frown is more sad than his usual one. He'd see the Bakusquad trying to convince him it's not true. He'd see Tsu with her fist clenched, and Tenya glaring daggers at the person, and just deck the guy. Incases his fist in ice, to make the blow harder. Kick him a few times too. And would look up at their shocked faces and shrug, "No one fucks with my family. And Bakugo? He's family. All of you are." Deku just starts bawling there and then.

There's no UA traitor, and they just forgot to remove Touya from the family group chat.

After Monoma realizes that no one stops Bakugo from coming after him when he says dumb shit, learns to control his mouth by their first year of working/living together. Interviewers would ask him, "How do you manage with number 2 (tied with Shoto) pro hero DynaMite trying to 'kill you the time?" And Monoma would just answer, with deep tiredness in his voice "Speed, self control, and not sleeping."

HC that Uraraka's quirk isn't zero gravity. It's gravity manipulation, so zero gravity is just a subsection of that. Her quirk exceeds the rules of zero gravity, and it's plausible that because she didn't have much money growing up, she wasn't able to get it properly tested, which should have been free, but we've established hero society is fucked up. This means, essentially, that she should be able to create a black hole. It'd take a lot of training, and a crap ton of effort, and she'd never do it, but she could.

The heroes should be glad 1A (Shinsou and Izuku especially) are good people. Because they could ruin them. They could take down hero society by themselves, and they all have been given reason too! They're just good people, and the heroes should appreciate that. Because the moment they stop being good people? It's all over.

HC that Aoyama is one of those kids that has known he was gay since birth, and never had to come out because people just knew.

Just realized something, feeling sad so you must too. Shigaraki could have been Touya's Izuku in another world. In a less fucked up universe, they could've been friends. Shigaraki- Tenko could have saved him.

Monoma is trying to start an enemies to lovers with all of 1A, Shinsou included. He obviously knows nothing about social interactions, maybe the poor boy is just trying to flirt the only way he knows how: being a prick.

In the Combined Hero Agency, fans and other heroes wonder how Mei keeps up. She's the only support hero, makes (though her interns help) and designs hero costumes AND support items for everyone in the agency, while also making them for her interns when asked, AND has time to participate in family game night every other week.

She really has no secret, just a love for what she does, hard work, dedication plus a lot of time and patience. That doesn't mean she doesn't endorse the rumors she has some secondary quirk or something, she actually enjoys fuelling the fire and watching it unfold. Fucking with the media is her favorite pastime.

At some point, Class 1A convinced Shinsou to make Endeavor to say "I'm a giant piece of shit" live on TV. And that was only after they swore up and down that he wouldn't be kicked out of the hero course, and promised to take the fall if anything goes wrong. The worst thing that happened was All Might trying to say what he did was wrong but he was told to fuck off.

The boys in class 1A like lending their jackets/sweaters/hoodies/jumpers to the girls. And the girls don't return them a lot, and only Mei, who feels bad if she keeps them, returns them, surprising the boys. You leave yours in the common room, don't expect it to be there in 30 minutes. And it didn't stop there. The boys also take each others' cover-ups (Shoto started this by asking to borrow Tokoyami's), and take the girls'. They find them comfortable and soft, and they nice-smelling. Basically everyone's wardrobes (private stuff is kept separately) is up for grabs by second year.

1A and (most of) 1B (+ Mei) are just like so, physical affectionate with each other. So much that even when they're pro heroes, the media isn't sure which relationships are which. Even when they clarify, they don't do anything to stop the rumors and even revel in it, fuelling them from time to time. Like, Ochaco would show up to an interview wearing Izuku's gloves, and the next she'll be in Tokoyami's sweater. Not to mention that her and Tsu are dating a (former) VILLAIN.

What if Momo like, buys a house. But not just a house. Like when they're still UA students, she buy a house for all her friends that don't want to go home over the holidays/weekends. It's (surprisingly) a lot of them.

Katsuki because he doesn't want to get yelled at after almost dying a crap ton. Denki because his parents will be mad about his grades, and he's trying, but it's so hard, and he can't focus. Ashido because she gets made fun of back home for her looks. Shoto because Enji. Tenya because he wants some time away from the pressure of his family to "live up to the Ingenium name", and don't get him wrong, he wants to be the new Ingenium, but he also when he just wants to be Tenya for a bit. Ochaco because she's tired, and wants a break. She loves her parents, but it's so much stress. Tsu because she'd rather be with her friends. Shinsou because he doesn't have a home. And much, much, more.

I think Dabi would've turned out more like Shoto if he had an Izuku. They were incredibly similar, in mentality and around the same backgrounds. The main difference is that Shoto has people to support him now, Dabi didn't. If Dabi had someone like Izuku to help him, help break down his walls, to make him feel validated, and seen (which, as I stan Shiggy and Izuku being siblings because AFO, could have been Tenko in a different world) he wouldn't be a villain.

Kids that are worried that they'd lose their friends when they become heroes would be So happy too. Like "I want to become a hero, but what if my friends and I lose touch? I don't wanna leave them behind, even if we're pros!" While they'd just be there like "we've been with each other since high school bro. they don't have to go nowhere lol"

HC that their fans would start to believe God is a woman, because Momo.

And like, they would be regular visitors at schools and orphanages. None of them ever got to be kids, and very few of them had good experiences with school, so they would want to inspire more kids. That they can become heroes, too. They'd definitely keep all the gifts they got, plus Momo and Izuku seem like the type to pin up every drawing they get from their kid fans in their offices, no matter how good/bad. It'd be good morale, and the kids of the next generation of heroes would have perfect role models to look up to.

It'd be cute if 1A didn't go on to start their own hero agencies. I mean, they'd have to figure something out with Tenya and Shoto, but I feel as if they would go on to make one, big hero agency instead. They have the perfect selection of quirks and personalities, from rescue heroes to support ones! With a bit of help from their friends, of course. (Yes, Mei is included. I love her too much not too)

Sero and Denki seem like the type to get (platonically) married, though Sero is aroace (personal HC) and Denki is dating Shinsou. No one even blinks an eye anymore, too used to their BS.

I HC that Shoto was previously very closed off with his siblings, even after he was allowed to spend time with them. I want to see, after spending time with 1A, him open up. Slight things at first, like offering to go for a run with Natsuo, or giving Fuyumi a kiss on the cheek, to going to amusement parks with Natsuo, and talking about his day and friends with Fuyumi. They not sure what caused this change at first. But then they meet Izuku, and the rest of the IzuCrew, and 1A, and suddenly it all makes sense, and God do they love these kids.

I want to see 1A actively antagonize Endeavor, but only when there's no one that would tell around. Like, anything they can get away with legally, and somethings they can't, but they make sure to not get caught. Natsuo loves it.

I have this HC that around the middle of the year, 1A just gave up on sleeping separately, or the "everyone sleep in your room" rule. After the horrific bullshit they'd been through together, they figured out that sleeping in the same room as each other helped the (inevitable) night terrors that came. And setting a time that everyone should be in their rooms was disastrous. So now it's common to see Shoto or Izuku in Tenya's room, or Mina and Kirishima in Bakugo's, or some nights they all just sleep in whoever has the most space at the time.

I want to see 1A when they're in 2A move into the dorms again. Like, Enji would go "Shoto I don't want you in the dorms this year." And Shoto, who's been waiting to go back since the dorms closed and has already packed all his shit goes ". . . You've gotta be shitting me, old man. I'm gonna go see my friends, who I value more than you. Fuck you." Then freeze him, grab his bags and run to the spot where the rest of the class agreed to meet, to get food then got to the dorms.

Shoto is constantly being used as the class portable heater, and has learnt to accept it, not without making the occasional "I went through years of abuse and trauma for this" comment though

Hatsume and Izuku should be friends. I feel like they'd understand each other. The others try, but they're the only ones who can keep up with how fast each other's brains go.

I want to see 1A visit Rei in the hospital. It started as Shoto introducing his friends to his mom, but they grew fond of her, and now visit her regularly to talk, and update her on what's going on with like Shoto, or school

Imagine if there was no UA traitor, and they just forgot to remove Touya from the family group chat.

Rei should be introduced to Izuku as "my best friend", Tenya as "the friend who stops me from doing bad things", and Kastuki as "my other best friend, though he denies it". Shoto with his lack of social skills would just go "Oh Bakugo? We're friends. He's like that with everyone."

Rei doesn't need to know about the murder, what she doesn't know can't hurt her. And whenever Shoto tries to mention it to her, Tenya just slaps his hand on his mouth to shut him up, or nudges him aggressively until he (after a long time) gets the message .

After a while, when Izuku is asked what hero he wants to be like, he responds All Might. Why wouldn't he? All Might is bold, courageous, strong, and always saves people with a smile. The perfect hero.

But in his mind, he only has one true answer. Eraserhead. Mr. Aizawa is the perfect hero, maybe not to the public, but to his problem children. He's always there for them, and hasn't failed them like a lot of heroes and the society at large has.

Aizawa-sensei is the epitome of everything they strive to be, and though they'll always give different answers: All Might, Hawks, Powerloader, Cementoss, Lunch Rush, there'll always be one true answer. Something only they know. Mr. Aizawa is the ideal hero.

Dark Shadow uses they/them or it/its pronouns. Just makes sense, considering Dark Shadow isn't human, and likely doesn't conform to the same rules of gender we do

Considering Shoto (canonically) trauma dumps to make best friends (Izuku and Katsuki), it's only a matter of time until he does the same for Tenya. Especially after the Stain arc. And I feel like it'd just SHATTER his world view of heroes and hero society. He sees it through even more rose-tinted glasses than Izuku, so the realization that someone wildly viewed as a hero could so such things and get away with it would be totally new to him. Especially because the only experience he had was with Tensei, who is the ideal hero.

Back on my 1A and 1B hero agency bullshit, all their interns love them. They're always so kind to their interns and treat them really well, despite how they normally are or treat their fellow heroes. They remember what it felt like during their own internships, being scared and on their toes. They don't want their interns to feel like that around them.

In their shared agency, Kota and Eri intern there of course, but so do a bunch of other hero students. Some from Gen Ed too, anyone they feel like have potential, application or not.

The Combined Hero Agency (I don't have a name yet) most definitely teach their interns quirkless self defense, for all the times their quirks have failed them or made things more difficult. Hand to hand and using a variety of weapons.

1A is used to Mei and Izuku (Sometimes Tenya tags along. Very rarely, Denki) meeting up to talk costumes and mad genius shit, with Izuku's quirk analysis and Mei's skill in building, 1A would have the best costumes.

these are all so extensive and thought out .......... i love this anon uve put work into these they're so excellent .......... i love 1a family dynamics :( godddd i love them theyre lovely i love this AHHHHH MAN

Au designs! Starting by posting Alex and Zee cause I still can't quite get Donovan's design right and it's bugging me to hell and back, so just two of the boys for now!

Relating to yesterday's massive hyperfixation infodump world-building post, note the outfits. Alex has a preference for ripped sleeves (but doesn't like to actually rip them off himself) and Zee is a big fan of cuffs as a fashion statement (helps hide that he's short as all hell). Ignore how Zee looks taller than Alex, he's still a short king.

So, in the au, they've been down here since the Summer of Slaughter. As a result, while they aren't in the gangs or uber-killers, most of the inmates do respect them cause they're old-timers and surprisingly resourceful assholes. (Image ID below the cut)

Alex has finely honed his theft and sneakery skills by regularly smuggling various things (mostly future shanks) to and from various inmates, locations, and resources. He's the guy you talk to if you want someone to steal you an extra jumpsuit, shuffle you some cleaner bedding, or get your shank back after it's been confiscated. He's been in the hole once for two days and is one of the few to survive a lockdown outside of his cell.

Summary: Thief and smuggler, occasional starter of shit. Dreams of escape, hasn't stopped planning and wondering and hoping for years despite environment. Tenuous relationship with gangs, liked by slicers and tolerated by most inmates.

Current allies: Zee, Monty, Simon, Ozzie, Gangs (semi-officially), Donovan, Oli

Threat level: Seen as rough equivalent to a good slicer; not powerful enough to fuck you over completely, but there's a business end to the shank and even the Skulls don't start shit with him unless necessary. Due to contract with Bodie (pre Bodie being taken) Alex is allowed to intervene occasionally if he thinks the Skulls are going too far on the condition that he knows they're not gonna bother holding back during the fight (neither will he). There will be no repercussions for the survivor(s) the day after. Avoid interacting with him the day after the blood watch, as well as being in the same cell as him that night.

Additional information: He and Zee made a good four shanks together via smuggling and honing and regularly trade by accident and relative indifference. Alex's personal favorite is the one made from a pickaxe's handle (handle made of cloth to avoid splinters and damage) but he also likes the one made from a broken bowl (the plastic can break off in someone's bloodstream and cause some fun problems and while Alex doesn't usually go for that sort of thing, he likes having the option). Small collection of scraps of cloth hidden everywhere in cell and various places around prison.

Zee has pried more than one camera out of the wall and been sent to solitary for it three times (one day, one day, three days). Between his skills and Alex's, the entire prison is in their theoretical grasp. The main thing stopping Zee from taking over is his complete lack fo ability to actually do so. Smuggles shit with Alex and, more importantly, tends to help disastrous events smooth over a bit. Best known for his ability negotiate gang territories, manipulate two separate blacksuits into being slightly (very slightly) nicer to inmates, and not being above intentionally fucking with enemies in non-lethal but absolutely horrifying ways.

Summary: Smuggler, starter of shit, and knower of miscellaneous secrets and deals. Do not attempt to stab him in the back. He'll smuggle laundry detergent out and fuck with your toilet until you're in the infirmary with permanent damage to ass and upper legs. Will occasionally negotiate things between normal inmates and slicers or gangs in exchange for various favors and items.

Current allies: Alex, Simon, Monty, Pete, Gangs (on and off), Donovan, Oli

Threat level: Do not fuck with unless you have some damn good backup. Zee is remarkably resilient and, unlike Alex, capable of blending into the normal populace and playing by its rules without major difficulty. He has enough allies and hiding spots that if he can't get revenge on you within a day, someone else will. Still defers to the Skulls and Fifty-Niners, but just barely so at times.

Additional information: Refuses to go to a slicer unless Alex goes first and the cut is good. Zee's hair grows pretty quick so he's walking around with a ponytail more often than not of late. He has parts of the disassembled cameras hidden in spots all over and (in theory) can make a small bomb using those parts (or a trigger mechanism for a larger bomb). Has accidentally taught most of the prison Yiddish profanities and insults. Refuses to drop the American accent.

Miscellaneous little notes on both of them:

- Absolute little bastards, and aware of it.

- They mainly deal with the Skulls via Simon now that Gary's in charge. Simon likes their shit-stirring attitudes, they like Simon's relative chill.

- Alex gets just the slightest bit crazy during blood watches. The next day is one of the few times he'll actually invoke his theoretical gym privileges and go challenge whoever the fuck is down for a fight. So far he has yet to lose.

- Zee regularly hassles the new kids that aren't major threats (not part of gangs, not trying to kill him) for surface news, especially if the new fish have connections to the US or follow sports or media he likes. A week with daily lockdowns was caused by poor handling of breaking the news to Zee about the latest Star Wars problems.

- Alex doesn't so much have the crowd parting for him come mealtime as the ability to just slip through the crowd without being noticed or properly blocked. He's managed to sneak away from chipping duty once or twice, albeit with much difficulty.

- They're menaces separately and menaces together. Their cellmates have given up hope of peace.

- Zee is firmly convinced the warden is secretly running a nazi cult and that's how bloodwatch selections happen. Whenever asked to elaborate he refuses but it's started several prison-wide fights.

[Image IDs:

Three photos of sketches fleshing out au designs for Alex and Zee. The first page shows Alex, the second one shows Zee, and the third details their inventories/daily objects.

Alex is a biracial boy of about 5'6'' height with very curly hair that's in an afro going just past his ears. He is wearing a zipped-up Furnace jumpsuit with the legs rolled up symmetrically and the sleeves torn to just above the elbow. The uniform has faded stripes on it. On the side is a sketch of Alex from the waist up in profile, with his hair in a bun.

Zee is a short Indian boy with black hair going to almost shoulder-length. His jumpsuit is partially unzipped, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and mismatched leg cuffs. The left leg's cuff is thick and short, the right leg is rolled up to the knee. The strips are almost completely faded out. To the side is a small sketch of Zee in profile and three smaller sketches of just his head with three different hairstyles: short hair in anime-style spikes, short hair with a slighter, more realistic, spikiness to it, and one ponytail going to about the nape of the neck.

The third image shows their inventory. Zee's currently inventory contains A wooden shank with a cloth handle, a collection of small gaieties made from uniform scraps, and some bandages from larger strips of the jumpsuits. Alex's inventory consists of a black rock shank, and a bandanna-sized square of light grey uniform clot to be used as a bandanna/durag . There is a small text at the bottom of Alex's inventory saying "Not pictured: metric crapton of dreams and escape fantasies".

Hammered

Character: Tsukishima Kei × Fem Reader

Concept: Y/N joins Tsukishima and his colleagues for a night of drinking, but ends up embarrassing him as she gets wasted

A/N: Cause I miss getting drunk and doing stupid shit, hence this fic feat. our salty boi ✌ it was rly fun to write this so,, hope u enjoy it too!!

☆☆ A Haikyuu!! Fanfiction ☆☆

Light filtered through the window blinds, rousing Y/N from her slumber as she pried her eyes open, cursing to herself as she felt a stinging pain in her temples. She was hungover, pretty badly at that, and as much as she wracked her brain to try and recall the events that transpired the night before, it only made her headache much worse.

Shit...I don't feel so good.

As her eyes darted around, she was immediately relieved knowing that she was lying down on the couch in her and Tsukishima's living room, managing to deduce - despite her muddled state-of-mind - that someone must have taken care of her in her drunken stupor.

Gritting her teeth, Y/N tried to sit up slowly, wincing as her temples prickled with pain with every movement. In her peripheral vision, however, was her livid-looking boyfriend with probably the deepest scowl she's ever seen as he stared her down from where he sat.

"Kei...?"

"Did you sleep well?" While the inquiry was meant to be out of concern, Tsukishima delivered it in a monotonous, yet utterly chilling manner which only meant one thing: he was pissed.

"What happened? And what's got you frowning so early in the morning?" She carefully questioned, eager yet dreading to find out how she must have royally screwed up the night before to get him this upset. Her curiosity only infuriated Tsukishima more and Y/N could have almost sworn seeing a blackish aura swirl around him.

"You...you really don't remember a damn thing, do you?"

*****

Fridays were usually the most anticipated day of the week for most members of the working class; however, in Tsukishima's case, he was dreading this Friday in particular.

After a strenuous week at the office, his boss suggested the entire team go drinking to reward themselves for their hard work and as a means to de-stress. But, Tsukishima wasn't keen on partaking in such nights of revelry especially after a long week at work as he'd rather spend his Friday nights and weekends relaxing at home with Y/N. The only reason that he decided to tag along is due to her persistence for him to do so.

Sighing deeply to himself, Tsukishima followed his colleagues as they entered the izakaya, chattering excitedly as they settled in at a long table at the far back. Amongst the clientele for that night, one of them in particular caught his attention, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Y/N?"

She was sat on one of the stools overlooking the kitchen. At the sound of her name, she turned towards its source and grinned widely. "Kei! Fancy running into you here and I see that you're also with your team. Good boy!"

He subtly rolled his eyes and sat down on the stool next to hers, unable to fight off a smile that made its way to his face. "Yeah yeah, if I didn't join them I'd never hear the end of it from you. Anyway, are you here alone?"

"Yeah, just stopped by on the way home from work to pick up some gyoza and katsudon for dinner. But wait, maybe I should have gotten takoyaki, too? Or maybe another serving of gyoza-" Y/N rambled as she grabbed the menu, her eyes scanning rapidly over the items.

He just gazed at her in amusement, completely oblivious to the inquisitive stares his co-workers shot their way. Tsukishima in the workplace was usually placid, reserved, and mostly impassive; seeing his relaxed and pleasant demeanor as he interacted with Y/N was especially intriguing to them, wondering amongst themselves just who that woman was in Tsukishima's life.

Keen on finding out the answer, one of his senpais called him over to their table. It suddenly dawned on him that there was no other choice than to formally introduce Y/N to them. And, he definitely was not looking forward to it as he'd never hear the end of their relentless teasing. "Y/N, would you mind coming along with me for a bit?"

Discreetly straightening her clothes and smoothening her hair, Y/N nodded and followed him to where his co-workers sat, anxious to make a good first impression. At their arrival, they immediately trained their gazes on her, just as eager to find out who she was. "Everyone, this is Y/N, my girlfriend. We live together," Tsukishima stated nonchalantly.

The shock on their faces was borderline comical as they stared back at him, their jaws hanging open in disbelief. "Girlfriend?!"

He sighed, already dreading the uproar they're about to cause. Tsukishima was a private person and rarely talked about his personal life as he maintained a firm work-life boundary. It was not like he was embarrassed to introduce his girlfriend to them; he just perceived the entire ordeal to be troublesome as his colleagues would jump at any chance to find something to tease him about.

Y/N straightened herself and bowed. "Nice to meet you, I'm Y/N. Thank you very much for taking care of Kei - I mean - Tsukishima all this time."

"I can't believe this!" One of his kouhais wailed. "To think that an office drone like Tsukishima-senpai has a girlfriend, and a very pretty one at that. So what the hell am I exactly doing wrong?"

"Believe me, I could tell you everything that you need to hear," Tsukishima retorted and shot his kouhai a dagger-like glare.

One of his senpais, a man who looked to be in his late 30's, leaned over and flicked his kouhai on the forehead as he winced in response. "Stop bad-mouthing Tsukishima when his girlfriend's literally standing in front of you. Anyway, nice to meet you, Y/N!"

They instantaneously began bombarding her with questions such as "how did you two meet", "how long have you been together", "what do you do for a living", and "of all men, why Tsukishima." Unable to keep up with what almost seemed like an interrogation by his colleagues, Y/N smiled sheepishly and shot Tsukishima a pleading look, silently begging him to bail her out.

"That's enough, all of you. You're creeping the poor lady out." Y/N turned to the man that sat at the head of the table; he exuded authority which practically gives himself away as the boss. Bringing up a cup of sake to his lips, he took a sip and eyed his subordinates sternly, yet the amusement in his gaze was palpable as he shifted his attention to Y/N. "Sorry about that, we just didn't expect our lone wolf Tsukishima to have a girlfriend, so we're all excited to meet you. If you don't mind, maybe you can join us, Y/N?"

"Sir-" Tsukishima began to protest as he felt the work-life boundary he stubbornly maintained begin to crumble; but to his surprise, Y/N seemed keen on accepting the invitation, a bashful smile on her face.

"I'd be happy to, but I wouldn't want to impose-"

"You won't, don't worry about it!" He assured dismissively and proceeded to order another round of drinks and accompanying snacks. "It's a pleasure of ours to get to know you and finally get a glimpse of Tsukishima's life outside of work."

Flattered and amused at how especially eager they seemed to know more about their enigmatic colleague and his girlfriend, Y/N gratefully accepted the invitation. "Alright, a few drinks wouldn't hurt."

*****

"Okay, I remember that much...but it still doesn't explain why you're so pissed," Y/N mused, listening earnestly to Tsukishima as he filled her in on what seemed like a disastrous night of revelry caused by her drunken antics.

He sighed and took off his glasses to rub his temples, the events that transpired the night before seemingly traumatizing him. "That's because you got carried away, you idiot."

*****

A couple of shots was all it needed for Y/N to become fully accustomed with Tsukishima's colleagues and pretty soon, they were chattering away like long-time friends while he fixated his gaze on her, his eyebrows furrowing in mild displeasure.

Aren't they becoming a little bit too friendly with her? And Y/N's just two shots in and she's already starting to get tipsy. Geez, this is so troublesome.

"Hey, one at a time please! I'll answer your questions one by one," Y/N instructed quite giddily, Tsukishima gazing at her in concern as she downed her third shot. He didn't want to be a buzzkill especially when she seemed to genuinely enjoy his colleagues' company and vice versa; however, her alcohol tolerance was remarkably low and it didn't take much for her to become fully inebriated. He decided to keep a watchful eye on her instead to prevent any incident from occurring due to her drunken antics.

"So, how and when did you two meet?"

"Kei and I go way back in high school," Y/N began as everyone at the table listened to her attentively. "He was part of our school's volleyball team and looked so cool as he played! That's when I started to have a crush on him, but it was one-sided though."

And there goes her filter, Tsukishima thought to himself, concealing his exasperation by downing his cup of sake, trying as best as he can to drown out the uproar his colleagues caused at her revelation.

"No way! Tsukishima-senpai was a volleyball player? I just can't imagine that!" One of his kouhais exclaimed, completely perplexed at the thought.

Tsukishima was about to reply with another snide remark, but Y/N was quick to interject. "Hell yeah he was, and he's such a great middle blocker to boot. He played so calmly as he read his opponent's moves...ahhh that composure of his is what makes him so cool!"

While he appreciated her attempt to defend his honor, it only increased everyone's amusement as she fawned over him, much to his chagrin. "So Y/N-" One of his senpais grinned sneakily, and Tsukishima pretty much figured out what the next inquiry will be about. "-who confessed to whom?"

"Oh, that takes me way back!" She mused, leaning against the man in question who sat right next to her. "I didn't have the courage to confess since he seemed so unapproachable and indifferent, so I thought about giving up on him. But as we became seniors, we ended up in the same class and became quite close. Eventually, during our graduation ceremony, Kei pulled me aside and confessed! I was so shocked that I started crying and...well, the rest is history."

"So it was Tsukishima here who confessed!" One of his senpais beamed and threw an arm around his shoulder, clinking his sake cup with his. "The revelations just keep on coming and coming."

"But that's amazing though," their boss remarked, completely engrossed in the conversation as much as his subordinates were. "You've been together for such a long time now. It's pretty rare for high school sweethearts to last that long."

Y/N nodded earnestly and downed her fourth shot before Tsukishima had the chance to snatch it away from her hands. "I agree, but Kei is such a caring and thoughtful boyfriend! He may seem like a sour puss on the outside but he's reaaaaaally sweet and very very clingy! But shhhhh...don't tell him I said that, though."

Ugh great, now she's done it. Tsukishima almost had to cover his ears as everyone at the table guffawed, unable to stomach the idea of their placid colleague and the clingy boyfriend Y/N described being the same person. He squeezed his eyes shut, hoping and praying for the evening to be over.

*****

Y/N cringed as Tsukishima helped her recall the things she had blurted out amid her inebriated state, starting to slowly understand the reason why he was so livid in the first place. "Okay...first of all, I am so sorry - with every fiber of my being - for embarrassing you like that-"

"That's not all you did," Tsukishima interjected quite menacingly and pinched the bridge of his nose in an attempt to keep his temper in-check. "As if that wasn't humiliating enough, you managed to exceed my expectations."

*****

A couple more shots later, Y/N was too far gone. She was completely wasted, and Tsukishima couldn't bear to look at his co-workers as they shot each other uneasy looks, the concern palpable in their wordless exchanges. He was utterly embarrassed yet frustrated at himself since she somehow managed to surpass her drinking limit despite being under his watchful eye.

"Heyyyyy, owner! Anotha' round of sake for this table right here, and put it on my tab!"

As Y/N made an attempt to leave the table, she accidentally knocked over a half-empty glass of water, the liquid spilling all over the table as a result. Giggling to herself while Tsukishima's colleagues scrambled to remove their belongings from the table, she attempted to grab a bottle of sake, but he swiftly withheld her attempt to do so, yanking it out of her reach.

"Okay, enough is enough," he reprimanded firmly, setting the bottle down on the table and bringing his face close in an attempt to get through to her. "Y/N, for the love of God, please get ahold of yourself."

"Tsukkiiii...you're hereee!" It was futile, Y/N's glassy eyes an indicator that she was in no condition to listen to reason. She smiled goofily and threw herself into his arms, the sheer force causing Tsukishima to stumble, his arm accidentally knocking over a glass to the floor as it completely shattered as a result.

"Shit! I'm so sorry, did anyone get hurt?" He exclaimed in a state of uncharacteristic panic, his arms struggling to support his drunken mess of a lover as she began mumbling unintelligibly to herself.

"We're good, Tsukishima. Don't worry about it," his boss assured. "But, I think it's best if you take her home, she doesn't look too good."

Yes, good call, that's one way to put it. Goddammit, this is too fucking embarrassing.

Pretty soon, the izakaya's owner approached the group amid the commotion, and with Tsukishima sincerely apologizing and swearing to pay for the damages, he also insisted on paying for the entire group's bill to compensate, but they turned down his offer, advising him and Y/N to get themselves home safely.

Tsukishima thought that the nightmare had ended; apparently, Y/N had more in store as she tapped his boss' shoulder, staring down at him in an attempt to look stern. "Hey sirrrr...can you lay off Tsukki sometimes? 'Cuzzzz...he comes home waaayyyy too late and we barely have enough time to get down and dir-"

"NOOO!" Tsukishima cried out in horror, completely and utterly humiliated as he scrambled to clamp his hand over Y/N's mouth in an attempt to salvage what's left of both of their dignities. However, the force caused her to stagger, her unruly arm knocking over a bottle of sake atop the table. Tsukishima was unable to do anything as he hopelessly watched it topple over, the liquid spilling and trickling down on his boss' lap as he felt every ounce of his life force drain out of his body.

God, if you're listening, then please...I don't care how you do it, but I beg of you...just kill me now.

*****

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Y/N wailed and buried her face in a pillow, unable to bring herself to look at Tsukishima as he unveiled the horrific experience he and his co-workers went through due to her drunken stupor. To say that she was embarrassed was a complete understatement; she was mortified, and it definitely was not an ideal first impression as she mourned for her long gone dignity. "Just kill me, please!"

Tsukishima was practically seething with rage at this point, wishing that the night before had just been a nightmare, yet it was nothing but a cruel reality. "You're embarrassed? How the hell do you think I feel? I lost count of the number of times I had to apologize before I hauled your drunken self home! You literally went crazy, Y/N! How careless, especially knowing that you can't handle alcohol well!"

She deserved to be scolded. Y/N lifted her head from the pillow and looked up at him, her eyes prickling with tears as she wallowed in her shame. "Kei...I'm so sorry. You're right, I was careless and I embarrassed you in front of your co-workers. I really didn't mean to! Oh my god...what if you got fired-" It must have been the after-effects of her hangover that made her an emotional mess as she felt tears running down her face, berating herself for acting in such a distasteful manner - in public and in front of his colleagues, at that.

Tsukishima deeply sighed to regain his composure. He settled down next to his lover on the couch, his hand rubbing across her back as he tried to calm her down. "Don't be ridiculous. I won't get fired over something like that, the boss isn't that shallow. He even called me up as soon as we got home to ask how you were doing."

At his gesture, Y/N bawled even harder, the tears streaming endlessly down her face. "I'm really sorry for ruining your night. I promise that I won't do it again."

"Y/N," Tsukishima began and tipped up her chin, locking his golden eyes with her puffy ones. "Look, I'm even more upset that you weren't being careful. I won't stop you from drinking, but you've got to be more aware of your own limitations. What if I wasn't there with you? What if you were alone and there was no one you trusted to take care of you?"

He's right, I'm such an idiot. I sure as hell won't be drinking anytime soon especially after last night's debacle!

She only managed a nod, sniffing profusely as she fished out her handkerchief to wipe her tear-stained face. "I'm so sorry, Kei. I swear that I'll be careful next time."

"You better be, you drunkard," he playfully retorted, the corners of his mouth subtly twitching upwards at how undeniably adorable she was being.

"So...you're not mad anymore?" Y/N inquired softly, looking up at Tsukishima with pleading eyes. While his earlier rage was now long gone, he did go through quite an ordeal, and he wasn't keen on letting her off the hook that easy as he wickedly grinned at her.

Oh, shit. I don't like that look.

"Sorry Y/N, but you're not getting off that easy. You did humiliate the both of us after all," he stated deviously, his smile widening at the uneasy expression on her face. "So for the next two weeks, you'll be doing all the household chores, and you're on bathroom cleaning duty for the entire month."

She sighed and nodded defeatedly. It was definitely a pain, but Y/N was resolute on serving her punishment to atone for what she did. However, she couldn't help but feel relieved since she had expected something way worse; doing all the household chores seemed quite tame in comparison to what she had imagined.

But then again, this was Tsukishima, and as he sensed her apparent relief, he laid out the pinnacle of her punishment, unable to fight off the sadistic grin on his face. "And, as soon as you're not hungover anymore, we'll be paying each of my colleagues a visit so you can sincerely apologize for what you did."

Y/N gawked at him, her heart dropping to her stomach. "C-come again?" He's not serious. He can't be...right? Right?!

"You heard me." Tsukishima was dead serious. She knew that something was amiss with his household chores punishment; he may be her boyfriend, but he definitely was a sadistic bastard if he needed to be.

"NOOO!" She wailed, completely mortified at the prospect as she began hitting him with the pillow, her hangover being the least of her concerns. "Please Kei, anything but that! I'd rather not meet them again for the rest of my living days, so please!"

Tsukishima chuckled and stilled her movements, staring her down to show just how serious he was. "Well, that just means that this punishment is befitting, right? At least now you'll think twice before letting yourself get wasted again. This will be a good learning experience for you."

Y/N knew that there was no other way to escape from her upcoming predicament. Completely at a loss, she only managed to shoot Tsukishima the harshest glare that she could muster. "Fine. If it will make you happy, you sadistic bastard."

Knowing that he had emerged victorious for this round, he let out a carefree laugh and planted an affectionate kiss atop her disheveled hair. "I appreciate it. Now, let's get that hangover treated real quick."

i really want to know wth mxtx was smoking when she wrote svsss ,the premise was cool the first chapters were adorable and funny so how come it became soooooooo horrible, bingqiu is one of the worst toxic relationships ever, like it makes no fucking sense, one instance SQQ call LB a child the next they're in true love uwu ,The power inbalance is soo jarring ,LB literary never listens to a word SQQ says, hurts him,balantly disrespects SQQ friends ,coherce SQQ and guilt trip him into loving him, and leaving everyone he knows for him, what Binghe needs is a restraining order, and life long therapy and fix his daddy issues, but it seems that the majority of danmeis idea of love is toxic abusive relationships ,i am not against the ship , from the way the fans talked about Bingqiu i was looking forward to see their love blossom and them making up in a healthy way, but god was i dissapointed , like at least make it believable ,give them time to talk about their feelings ,clear the misunderstandings ,heal the wounds ,not whatever the hell that rape scene was about ,so is mxtx trying to tell us that raping the man you love with their consent "whatever the fuck this is supposed to mean " tormenting hurting and making them bleed ,is more important than them having a heart to heart conversation about the fuck ups they commited ,and showing how much they cherish each other , the fans will tell you that NO it's a deconstruction of the papapa to save the world trope ,like wtf is that even supposed to mean ,she deconstruct it by using the same awful shit

Anyway svsss was good at first and then it spiraled to complete nonsense ,it felt like mxtx just wanted to get it over with and move on, sooo much lost potentiel ,i recommend reading well written fix it fanfictions to get over the atrocity of canon, there are plenty of good liushen and qijiu fics out there

And sorry that i rambled a lot and for my bad english, i am just super dissapointed ,this wasn't what i signed up for when i read the many positive reviews

Hey anon let's be friends lol. I agree with everything here. You can clearly tell this was mxtx's first novel. Someone said they wrote it when they were in high school? So maybe it was also cuz they were young that it had some not so great things.

I finished the novel this morning and I was still NOT a fan. That scene was written in a way to make it seem like it was not sexjal assault but it clearly was. Binghe wasn't even mentally present and was not able to give consent and was terrified of what he did. This is the first time I saw the old binghe from the past come out. Shizun didn't give consent either. He basically just accepted his fate. You're right, how is it deconstructing a trope if you're gonna write the trope? And I think a lot of readers don't realize that this entire scene didn't need to happen. It was some bullshit reason that the author fully knew was bullshit. You have to wait for the special item to load? That's never happened, if it loaded right when shizun asked for it, then there would have not been that assault scene.

A lot of ppl use in universe reasons to explain why some things needed to be done but I'm here wondering why the author needed to add these things. At least let your characters suffer the consequences? Consequences for actions don't always mean getting hurt physically after making a wrong decision. It means after so much trauma, both binghe and shizun would barely be mentally functioning. Shizun's thoughts should have been a mess because this is his student but he also raised him and now that student is obsessed with him. One dream he meets old binghe and literally gets his limbs ripped then the next second sees baby binghe and he's okay after it. Even when he sees older binghe there's no residual fear.

With binghe being a psycho, and it being his sword that was poisoning his mind, why didn't someone immediately try to destroy the sword? Then when binghe is getting his therapy we could have explored the love between them.

As it stands I still don't see the love. I don't wanna read the extras to see whatever love that will develop there because those are extras. That shit should have been in the main book. But whatever I gave it a skim and literally already we got another assault scene. And old binghe wants shizun all of a sudden? The same one you repeatedly tortured?? Why???

Tbh old binghe and old shizun would probably get along well if shizun hadn't been abusive towards him cuz they were both psychos.

Shen yuan essentially looked like he just accepted whatever fate he had. Not once did I feel like he realized this world was his life now and not still some book, he's no longer and outsider. And also to just leave everything? It doesn't seem like to us but he spent years with his sect and qingge and qi ge. Oh my god the connection between old qingqiu and his child hood "friend" that should have been focused on more because in those few scenes we got so much material. So much emotional and complex scenes. I really hope there's a fic that explores this thread.

Anyways I still think their relationship is toxic. I know a lot of ppl still enjoy it and I'm okay with that as long as they know it's fictional. Some ppl are okay with toxic things as long as it's fictional but no matter what some say, it's scientifically proven that fiction affects reality. So as long as things stay fictional and ppl aren't looking at them and thinking this is okay or healthy then I have no issue. Not everyone will agree and understand each other so each side should stay on their own with one hating and the other loving, on their own.

I also ended up ranting lol. If u wanna talk more u can send another ask or just message me I don't mind! If u have read mxtx other works I would love to talk about them as well! Also you're English is perfect!

OHHH! if you still have space for your b-day request thing. Michael and Alex are neighbors, they're both loud for their own reasons (Michael's work, Buffy, Alex's nightmares, whatever) and annoy the crap out of each other even though they've never met, when they finally do they're instantly attracted to each other without knowing the other is the noisy neighbor

He wakes, screaming, atthree in the morning.It takes Alex a few moments for him to recognize where he is. “Book,” he says,marking the items around him, “alarm clock, pillow, dog, guitar.” He goesthrough them again so that he knows he’s not in Iraq, he’s not waking up afterthe explosion. His hand drifts to his knee, rubbing at the angry scarring there.Unfortunately, even though he’s not in the desert, that doesn’t mean his leg isback.He reaches for his guitar and cradles it to his chest, knowing that he needs itto soothe him.It takes him four songs before he can calm down and the last is angry, shoutedlyrics and loud chords, like he’s trying to manifest his anxiety and his PTSDas a thing that he can shout and scream at. His therapist had recommended it tohim, but it rarely seems to do anything.Well, it does something.The thumping on the wall followed by a dull sounding, “Shut the fuck up!” meansthat he’s pissed off his neighbors again. The thin walls of this apartmentreally suck, but Alex lives here and it’s his home. He has a right to dowhatever he wants and he’s not about to let someone else stop him. Thesenightmares aren’t every night, and his neighbors can run white noise machines,same as he does.Once he’s finished, he goes back to bed, but it’s not like he drifts intopeaceful dreams. He tosses and turns all night, not trusting himself to fallback asleep, as if the nightmare will be there waiting for him. It puts him in an extremely irritable mood, so when his nosy asshole neighboris back at it again the next day with the noise, his patience almost snaps. Hehas no idea what the hell he’s doing, but he hears grinding and sawing and hethinks that at one point, there’s a small explosion. Why does Alex put up with this?(He knows why, it’s the low rent)It’s always like this, though. The noise is a factor that Alex has had to become accustomed to in hisapartment. His irritable mood has left him unwilling and unable to deal withit, so when he hears another crash and the ensuing sound of parts hitting tile,he slams his hand to the wall, with Buffy’s barking adding to the noise.“Hey, asshole! Shut the fuck up!” he booms, his patience shot.“Tell yourself that at night!” comes the ensuing sniping.

Alex boils over with rage, which is why he has to take out Buffy for a walk. Hedoesn’t even know where the noise is coming from because the walls in thisplace are thin, but the pipes carry sound. For all he knows, his nightmareneighbor could be the one across the hall, the one beside him, or maybe even afloor below. Whoever he is, Alex would love to give him a piece of his mind. The walk helps to calm Alex down, though he knows a nap would really do thetrick (if it were quiet enough to do). By the time he gets back, he feelsrefreshed and ready, and as he digs out his mailbox key to pick up his letters,he’s already wondering if the noise had really been that bad, or if he was justexhausted.Truthfully, Alex suspects it’s a little of column A and a lot of column B.The exhaustion becomes the guilty culprit for something else, which happens tobe the way he comes to a sudden stop when he sees a man he’s never seen before,standing at the mailbox.It’s not that Alex knows all his neighbors, but he feels like he’d haveremembered this one. The man leans up against the mail and starts riflingthrough his letters, his legs extended and looking lean and long and so fuckinggood in those tight jeans. His hair is a mess of curls atop his red scarf, andhis nose and the tips of his ears are still pink from being outside.He’s also currently standing in front of Alex’s mail slot.“Uh…”He’s stammering, only because his brain had decided in that moment that theappropriate thing to do would be to whisper that this stranger could slidewhatever he wants in Alex’s back slot and he’d be okay with that. He clears his throat and tries again. “You’re in front of my mailbox.”The man glances up, startled by Alex’s voice. He blinks a few times and Alexfeels his heart pound even harder in his chest. His eyes are gorgeous. Whoever this is, he seems equally stunned to see Alex. “Hi,” Alex delves into the depths of his talent for talking and gets…that meeklittle noise.Fuck, he’s bad at this. “What?”He gestures to the mailbox. “You’re uh, you’re standing in front of themailbox? I need to…” He jangles his keys, like the man is a dog. “Sorry.”The other guy says, “Sorry,” at the same time as he steps aside, but doesn’tleave. Instead, he presses his hip near the mailboxes so that he’s angledtowards Alex, leaning his temple and all those curls against it, like he wantsa front-row seat to Alex getting the mail. It’s enough to make him blush andhe’s immensely grateful that Buffy is right there with him to help distracthim.His attention stays low, because he’s not sure he could manage eye contact withthe man without making more of a fool of himself.“You new here?” the guy asks.“Me? No,” Alex responds, awkwardly figuring out how to say, I’ve been herefor months, but I’m so much of a recluse that you’ve clearly never seen mebefore. He chances a look up, mail in hand. “You?”“Same,” he admits. “I only got off the night shift a few weeks ago,” he says,and if Alex looks closer, he can see the bags under his eyes, like he hasn’tfully adjusted to getting sleep. He opens his mouth to say something else, butthe vibrations of a phone interrupt him. “Shit, sorry. I gotta take this, it’swork…” He offers an apologetic smile and wanders off.Instead of lingering, Ale decides that’s his chance to make an escape. It’s not that he doesn’t want to stick around and talk more, but there’s anawkward protocol at play. Who knows how long this phone call is bound to go on?Is he really going to stand there the whole time? Does that make him weird orcreepy, because he kind of thinks it does.Alex heads to the elevator, easing Buffy inside so he can take the weight offhis prosthetic, heading up to his floor. Once he gets inside the apartment, Alexpresses his back to the door, mail clutched to his chest, and he knows thathe’s willing to stay here a little while longer and put up with the noise, ifit means getting to run into his hot neighbor a little more often.After all, he never even got his name. He can’t possibly think about leavingnow.The next chance Alex gets to see his hot neighbor is during the weekly tidy infront of the apartment buildings. Without any fees, they can’t afford to hireanyone, but Alex and a few others had volunteered to keep their gardens tidy.He’s in the middle of poking some garbage with his spear when he glances to theside to see curly-haired hot neighbor with his own bag down the way.Alex takes it as a sign that this is meant to be. They’re supposed to meetagain, even if all they do that day is a polite wave of acknowledgement.He runs into him again a few days later when he’s taking Buffy out. She’s beingsuch a good dog lately, not barking or growling at anyone. In fact, when shesees the man, she goes trotting over to happily accept some pets. “Hey, girl,” he says, adjusting his keys in his hands. “And handsome man,” heteases, glancing up at him.Alex flushes slightly, but seizes the opportunity. “Buffy,” he says, gesturingto her. “And Alex,” he adds, with a gesture to himself. He feels inordinatelyproud about the fact that he managed to introduce himself before making acomplete ass of his behavior. The other man’s sweating and leaning against thedoor, so it looks like he just came from a run.His heart beats rapidly, giving him a hopeful smile. Luckily, it pays off. “I’mMichael,” he says, and there it is.He’s got a name for the face.(He’s also got something to moan later in bed, but he’s not going to focus onthat part)“Hey Michael,” Alex greets him, feeling overly charmed. “It must be freezingout there. You’re dedicated, going out for a run like that?”“I’m a sucker for my sister,” he pants, half bent over. “Fuck,” he exhales,wheezing. “This definitely isn’t the stamina I wanted to impress you with.” Alex raises his eyebrow.“You’ve been wanting to impress me with your stamina?”They did only just meet. Usually Alex doesn’t do this, but maybe that’sexactly why he says what he does next, while Michael is still catching hisbreath.“Maybe you could come to dinner at my place,” he invites. “I bet you have allsorts of other talents.”He did it. He said it, he did it, and now he can’t take it back. He’s not surehe wants to take it back. Breathing out, he tries to calm himself down, buthe’s managed to get really excited over the fact that he’s just invited a manhe just met up to his place for dinner.“Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.”Score one for Alex’s luck.“Tomorrow?” Alex suggests. “We’ll order in.”“It’s a date.”It absolutely is, which gives Alex a thrill that he can barely measure. He goesup to the apartment with Buffy to tidy it up, still amazed that Michael said yesand that this handsome man has been living in this hellhole apartment under hisnose the whole time. He doesn’t even know where Michael works, but he’s sograteful that he’s off the nightshift, giving him a chance to have dinner withAlex. Michael shows up to dinner wearing a gorgeous burgundy sweater that looks likesoft angora. The moment Alex opens the door to let him in, he wants to bury hisface in it and never come up for air.“Hi,” Alex greets him. “Welcome to my humble apartment.” Michael glances around the room, his eyes landing on the guitar. Something onhis face shifts, like annoyance, and Alex rushes to move it off the couch.“Sorry,” he says. “I play sometimes.”“At night,” Michael says evenly.Alex frowns, not sure why Michael sounds like that. “Yeah,” he agrees. “I’vehad a lot of nightmares since my accident, but music helps calm my anxiety.”“Nightmares,” Michael echoes. “That must keep you up a lot in the middle of thenight. Screaming?”Alex isn’t sure he likes the way Michael is staring at him. “…Yeah?”Michael lets out a ragged scoff. “You’re the one I’m shouting at in the middleof the night.” He swallows hard, giving Alex an apologetic look. “I don’t meanhalf of what I say?” he offers, shaking his head. “Fuck, that sounds insincere.It’s more that I got off the night shift and then I keep getting woken up, bythe screaming, then the music. It really floats through…”If it does, then Alex figures it goes both ways. “Does your job involve small explosions and crashes?”Michael gives him a sheepish look. “I’ve had time in the morning now to work onmy things.”This is the asshole that Alex keeps shouting at. “It’s a shitty apartment with bad walls,” he says, because now that he’s metthe man, he doesn’t really want to shout at him. He also doesn’t want thedinner to be ruined all because of this, and he has a bad feeling it’s goingthat way. “I’m sorry if I’m ever too loud. Bad dreams,” he admits, “from mytour in Iraq. The music is what keeps me sane.”“I get that,” Michael admits. “It’s why I tinker around with experiments. Ihave insomnia, but doing that kind of work sets my mind at ease.”Alex stare at Michael, the awkward tension drawn out. Then, it breaks rapidly,because they both start laughing.“Fuck,” Michael wheezes. “I can’t believe you’re Dickbag Noisy Asshole,” hesays. “An affectionate nickname,” he guarantees.“I just called you a jackass in my head,” Alex admits, but now that he knowsMichael, knows why it’s happening, and where it’s coming from, he thinks he hasan idea of how they can deal with it. “Maybe,” he says, “the next time you hearthat kind of noise in my apartment, you could come and knock on my door. I’dabsolutely be willing to keep it down, for a good cause.”Michael toys with his cell phone, eyeing Alex with a keen look, a littleflirtatious and filthy. “Come and knock on your door in the middle of the night,” he says thoughtfully,like he needs the time to think about it. “I think I could manage.”“Okay, then,” Alex replies, getting the feeling that maybe after tonight’sdinner, he’s going to get to see Michael again fairly soon, and in the middleof the night. Funny, then, how now Alex is hoping for a nightmare, if only to see ifMichael sticks to his word.*It turns out that there’s a solution for both their noise problems.When Michael stays the night, Alex securely curled into his arms, he doesn’twake from a single nightmare. He’s cocooned in his warmth and he gets a fullnight’s rest, with Buffy dozing on the corner of the bed near them. Michael,well-rested, then conducts his experiments without dropping half as manythings, and he doesn’t make calculation errors that have things blowing up.“You know,” Michael mentions, after they’ve tried this for a week to discoverit’s not a fluke, “I always knew sex was the answer for most things, but Idon’t think I could’ve predicted it’d solve my noisy neighbor issue.”Alex rolls over in bed, grinning at Michael.“How about you come over here and we’ll solve it some more?”Michael grins right back, practically tripping over his feet to get back intobed for another round.Somewhere nearby, someone pounds on the wall to tell them to shut up, and Alexlaughs as he realizes how the tables have turned. It’s someone else’s problem, because Alex has no intention of shutting up whenhe’s got Michael making noises the way he is. Let them call him all the namesin the book. It’s worth it.

I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!! GOM reacting to other dudes catcalling and trying to hit on their s/o while they're out on a date? I feel like that'd be interesting heh. Please keep writing this blog is so good!!

THANK YOU!! ^^ This request is so good, I can’t! Love me someprotective boys!

-May

Warning: Some swearing for Aomine!

Kuroko:

Neither of you had thought of anything bad that could happen. Youwere walking home from Maji Burgers where you had something to eatafter your date in the city. Kuroko’s hand was intervined withyours, dangling between your bodies. He was just telling you somestory about a match he had with Seirin last year when you suddenlyheard the voices behind you.

“Hey, sexy! What are you doing here all alone this late?” Itwas some guy walking up behind you. Unfortunately, he seemed to betall, taller than Kuroko and way taller than you.

And if it wasn’t bad enough already, a second one came up behindthe first, an even nastier look on his face. “Yeah, girl! Do youneed any help getting home?” a smirk was on his lips and heextended a hand towards you.

What the hell where you gonna do? Kuroko wouldn’t be able totake on these guys. Oh right! Kuroko! “I-I’m not alone... M-myboyfriend’s here!” you stuttered out and lifted you arm to showoff your extended hand.

To find it empty. This was like the worst time ever for yourboyfriend to vanish!

“Aww, look, she thinks she’s got a boyfriend!” The secondguy laugh and elbowed his buddy in the side. “Should we show herwhat a real boyfriend i-”

“I’d really rather not have you do that. Now would you pleaseleave ______ alone, so we can continue this date?”

It was almost hilarious how the big tough guys started to choke ontheir breath as Kuroko suddenly appeared right in front of theireyes.

“Holy shit, where did he come from?!” the taller one asked,taking cautious steps backwards. Kuroko’s stern glare wasn’tmaking it better for them either. “I don’t no man, but it’sscary, let’s go!” And with that they ran of, still cursing underther breath.

“I’m really sorry this happened, ____.” he apologized andtook your hand back in his own, squezing it gently.

“It’s alright. You were there after all.” you smiled back athim.

Kise:

“Oho, what have we got here?”

There was a sudden voice very near you, pulling you out of yourthoughts. Confused, you took a step back, only to be confronted withsome creepy guy’s face up in yours.

“Your sissy boyfriend over there seems to be busy, so how aboutI keep you some company, eh?” his voiced was a weird mix betweenintimidating and trying to seduct you. You honestly just wanted torun away.

“Leave me alone...” you said quietly, hoping he would just goaway if you showed no interest in him at all. Sadly, that didn’tseem to be case at all.

“C’mon sweety, don’t play hard to get with me.”

You took a step backwards, trying to ge away from the creepy guy,when you suddenly bunped into another chest behind you. Half-afraidit would be yet another guy you hastily turned around, only to bewashed over with relief when you found Kise hugging you tightly tohis chest, his embrace making you feel safer at once.

“Haven’t you heard her? She’s not interested.” Kise said,his voice icy and lacking all of his usual playful and cheeryattitude. “So get away, how pathetic can you even be. Picking on agirls who’s on a date.” he spat and held you even tighter.

Even though he was acting up all tough for this guy, you couldfeel his hands shaking at your back.

You heard an annoyed huff and the slowly retreating steps behindyou, meaning that damn guy was finally gone. Kise relaxed around you,now leaning down to hug you properly and you took time to inhale hisscent.

“Are you alright, _____cchi? He didn’t touch you, did he? God,I’m so sorry!” he mumbled and looked you all over once he let yougo from his arms. His face was twisted in worry.

“Yeah, it’s okay. Thank you, Ryouta.” you answered and tooka step forward, stading on your tip toes. Your signal for asking fora kiss.

Midorima:

Midorima and you were standing by the small ice cream booth at thebeach. Even though he wasn’t exactly the beach person, Oha Asa didsay that sand was his lucky item today, so he was fine with it.You were also pretty sure he had been blushing when you got reallyexcited at his suggestion of coming here.

The both of you were having your ice cream in peace, a comfortablesilence while you watched over the sand and waves and the lots ofpeople around here.

That comfortable silence was broken when there was suddenly astrange guy stading uncomfortably close to the both of you, givingyou a weird look.

“Uhm, excuse me?” you asked, making clear you wereuncomfortable with him being there. Judging by his look this hintflew right over his head.

“You’re looking pretty sexy.” he slurred and tried to reachout for your face, if it hadn’t been for a hand wrapped in tapesuddenly slapping him away. When you looked up to Midorima’s faceyou could practically see the concealed fury boil under his coolface. The look was really intimidating.

“And wha exactly do you think you’re doing there?” hehissed, pressing the man’s arms back down.

“Oh, shut up you nerd, how did you even get a girl like her?Luck or something?” the stanger laughed. “I mean, look ather, no sexy girl would go for some glasses nerd like you!”

In that moment you could literally see your boyfriend’s patiencesnapping.

It took a few steps and he was towering over that creep, armspushing you behind him swiftly. “What do you think is giving youthe right to speak of her like that. You don’t even have the rightto look.” he growled.

The guy, who had clearly underestimated Midorima’s physicalbuild from the few feet away, took some cautious steps back. “Yo,chill man. She’s all yours. No need to bitch about it.” he saidand held his hands up, slowly backing away.

As soon as he was gone from sight, Midorima turned around to youand looked at you, somewhat protective and somewhat worried. “Youare okay, aren’t you?” he asked and stood back in his sport frombefore.

“Don’t worry, I’m all good.” you answered and then gavehim a smirk. “After all, you saved me really heroically,Shintarou.”

“Shut up, _____.” he stuttered, hiding his slight blush bypushing up his glasses.

Aomine:

“Wow, look at that butt!”

At first you didn’t even realise that it was directed at you. Only when the words were followed by a sharp whistle you began to turn around. Aomine and you were on a date to the cinema and he was just getting you some popcorn while you waited by the entrance with your drinks.

When you turned you noticed a man standing begind you, making a show of letting his eyes wander over your body. Yopu shrunk into yourself.

“No thank you.” you said politely, trying to wave him off as quickly as possible and started looking around for Aomine.

“Don’t be like that. What is a beauty like you doing all alone here anyway? Isn’t that sad? Watching a movie by herself when she has so much to offer.” he said, looking you up and down like prey again. Didn’t this asshole even care that there were other people around here?

“I’m not alone, I’m here with my boyfriend.” you anwered now a little more stern. Looking at your drink, you wondered if you would have to throw it at him. Where the hell was your boyfriend, this was starting to get way too scary. Little did you know he used the moment you had your concentration away from him to step forward.

His hand barely stroked the side of your face and your mouth was already open to scream when he was suddenly gone. You almost didn’t realise what was happening until you heard the shouts coming from the floor at your feet.

“You pathetic motherfucker!” Aomine yelled, his furious gaze fixed on the guy. The both of them were lying on the ground, popcorn sorrounding them.

“Aomine!” you gasped, torn between relief and worries. You didn’t have too much time to thin about it with the security coming towards you though.

***

“All I did was fucking defending you, why the hell did they throw us out?!” he cursed, wrapping his big jacket around shoulders.

“Daiki. You literally tackled him to the ground.”

“He was about to touch you. Would you rathe have that? We can go for that the next time.”

“No, no. Of course. Thank you. That was really cool, actually.” you smiled at him and you swore you could see him smirk to himself.

Murasakibara:

“______chin, I don’t like how that guy is looking at you.” Murasakibara grumbled as you two walked around the Kanto Matsuri festival together.

“What? Who do you mean?” you asked frantically looking around. You had been so busy looking at all the lanterns and helping to carry Atsushi’s food that you hadn’t even noticed that somebody was looking at you.

The man that had been checking you out for a while didn’t make it hard to spot him though. No, instead he took some long steps toward you, cutting into your way.

“Who do we have here? Not bad, not bad.” he whisteled and extended his hand towards you. “I happen to know this place very well, want me to take you on a tour?”

You couldn’t believe how blatantly this shameless guy was daring to flirt with you when it was clearly visible that Atsushi was standing right next to you! Anger began to start bubbling up in your chest and your grip on the bag you were carrying tightened.

“Excuse me, but can you literally not see that I’m already here with someone? By the way, we live here too, I really don’t need you to show me around.” you spat at him and turned your chin up.

“Alright, alright, no need to be such a bitch about it, god...” he sighed annoyedly, not even registering how much worse he was making his situation. “That damn freak is not good enough for you, does he even fit?”

This time you didn’t even have the time to react to his words before your boyfriend took a long stride forward and grabbed a fistfull of the strangers collar. “No one dares to speak to _____chin like that.” he growled, towering tall over that guy. “You wanna get crushed?”

Of course, the guy was running off in a matter of seconds. If he wanted to, Murasakibara yould be very intimidating and you loved it.

“Thank you, Atsushi.” you sighed, slightly leaning against his side. “What an asshole, who even does that?”

“Hn. Dunno.” he grunted, obviously still calming down. There was a large protective hand on the top of your head for a second. The gesture he dd when he was silently telling you he loved you. You smiled back up at him. “C’mon, let’s look at the stands over there, ____chin.”

Akashi:

To be frank, it was almost fair to feel sorry for the guy that was wolf whisteling after you when Akashi and you passed him on your way to the restaurant you two were headed to.

Of course, Akashi immdiately stopped, tightly squeazing your hand before letting go of it completely.

He slowly turned around, giving the stranger that kind of look that you’d never want to recieve yourself. Using one of his arms, he tried to get you behind him a little. Then he started talking his voice icy.

“And what exactly do you think your doing there?” he asked. You could only imagine his expression by the freaked out look in the guy’s eyes. The guy cautiously took a few steps back.

“Sorry man, I’m going already.” he said, looking like a dog with his tail between his legs. “She’s all yours.”

“No you’re not.” Akashi immediately answered. His usually rather quiet voice attracting attention from the people surrounding you. “And for that matter she doesn’t belong to anybody, do you understand that?”

If the situation hadn’t been so tense you might have smiled at that. Your boyfriend was a gentleman as always.

“How do you dare to whistle at her? You’re lucky that I don’t care enough about pathetic folks like you or my forces would be at you in no time.” you were pretty sure you nearly never heard Akashi using such a sharp voice before. Maybe concerning family business, that was also a bit touchy. But other than that? Never.

“Ch-chill dude. I’m going for real.” the stranger stuttered, obviously scared shitless, before clumsily staggering a few steps backwards and then hurrying off into the opposite direction.

Akashi turned around to you at once. His eyes roamed over you, looking for any kind of discomfort. “Are you alright,____? Do you want to head home?” he asked worriedly, placing a hand at your arm.

It only made you smile at him. God, you were so blessed with this guy, honestly.

“No, it’s quite alright, Seijuro. Let’s get something to eat, he didn’t do anything to me.” you tried to calm him, motioning to finally continue your way.

“He wouldn’t have had a chance to.”
