#and i want to have it on my bookshelf just to look at

[dante-mightdie]

I just want to be the 141’s resident nuisance (brat) Particularly to Price.

Walk into his office, stare at him for a second and then just turn the lights off and walk out so he has to get up to turn them back, grumbling to himself.

Seeing him in the gym all sweaty from a vigorous workout and asking him if he’s “Taking it easy today, cap?”

Fix him a drink and setting it just out of his reach.

Making snide comments or just lazing about in his office as if it’s my own personal lounging room, touching his bookshelf and looking through his very few photo frames.

did someone say poly!141 with brat dynamics

c/w: implied smut, poly dynamics

you drive them up the wall. don’t get me wrong, they adore you and would do anything for you. but you’re such a little shit and it’s a wonder that price and simon let you get away with this much

price plays the waiting game with you. lets you dig yourself a deeper grave before he begins to bury you alive with the consequences of your own actions

normally sends you on your way with a quick swat to your ass and a stern warning but this time he’d decided it was time to put you in your place. remind you who was really in charge

you practically skip into his office, a smile on your face and a glimmer in your eye which can only suggest mischief. the smile drops quickly from your face when you see johnny, gaz and simon in his office too

“what’s going on?” you pout, “having a team meeting without me, old man?”

price just gives you a closed-mouth smile, an unnerving laugh leaving him. a laugh you know he keeps reserved for his enemies, “no, love. we’re just about to take part in a team-bonding exercise. see, we need to figure out how to handle a mutual nuisance in all of our lives.”

“you talking about johnny?” you giggle, flicking the scot’s ear before he can smack your hands away with an unimpressed grumble

“very cute, lovie. but you know who we’re talking about.” the captain smirks, “‘bout time you had an attitude adjustment, hm? now, bend over the desk.”

WARZONE.

Megumi couldn’t help it— Help his slight and ever-so-growing obsession over you, that is.

Ever since you, a new student, transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan location of Jujutsu High he couldn’t help but be curious. Sure, it’s always the talk of the school if a new face shows up out of the blue… But you? It felt weird to him. He plastered on his signature stoic expression as he waltzed down the halls from his dorm, letting a faint yawn escape him as he neared Yuji’s door.

“Coming in, you better be wearing clothes or else,” he forewarned the boy, opening the door lazily and slowly removing his shoes. As he placed it neatly to the side of the door, an unfamiliar voice caught his attention.

“You don’t wear clothes? So you just walk around butt-naked and everything?”

The sound of Yuji’s whining instantly pierced his ears right after. “No! Megumi only enters my room after my shower, so technically… Not my fault!”

The boy in question rolled his eyes and walked around the corner of the entrance, seeing you and Yuji situated at his PC.

Megumi let out a soft sigh of relief and muttered out, “Just so you know, normal people wear clothes after they take a shower.”

“W-Why are you still acting like I’m completely naked?” Yuji groaned out, slumping in his gamer chair with a loud huff. “I had socks on.”

Megumi could see your expression in the corner of his eyes, a look of disbelief and pure confusion.

“… Socks?” You reiterated, blinking blankly at the boy in front of you.

“Yeah. Socks,” Yuji replied, perhaps a little too proud of his statement. A soft slap sound from Megumi’s palm met his forehead as he shook his head.

“But you didn’t think underwear would be the priority?” he deadpanned.

“My feet get cold,” Yuji replied and casually grabbed a nearby chip packet from his drawer of endless snacks. “Anyway, whatcha doin’ here Megumi?”

This time, Megumi looked around in thought, pondering about why the heck he was even there in the first place.

“I need some paper,” he boredly responded, making a beeline to the opposite side of the room in a hurry. Hell, he had no idea if his only chance to not look like a fool in front of you was actually going to be there, but with little hope, he continued to stride over to Yuji’s messy bookshelf.

He scanned from top to bottom, bottom to top, side to side, his eyes were getting overstimulated with how much Yuji had stuffed all kinds of trinkets on the ledge of the shelves.

“Lined? Blank? Ooh, or these fancy eco-friendly ones I made?” Yuji called out to Megumi, shuffling out three small stacks of different types of paper. Megumi let out a shaky breath, of course they would be at his desk. The very area he wanted to avoid. He turned around and reluctantly hobbled back.

“Lined.”

Taking one sheet from the stack, he swivelled his stature away again to the entrance, obviously leaving you and Yuji bewildered.

“Just one sheet of paper?” You asked Megumi, who was struggling to step into his boots.

“Yeah,” he muttered, grunting as he finally slipped his foot in after struggling for what felt like a century. He could already feel a thin layer of cold sweat form along his nape as you spoke.

Yuji turned to you and shrugged his shoulders, before patting you roughly on the arm. “Can you force him to stay? I need another person on my team for Warzone.”

“Why don’t you ask him? He’s still here—“

The sound of the door shutting at the front was enough for you to shut up instantly.

“— Nevermind.”

At your words, the pink-haired boy stretched his arms up and stood on his feet, rolling his shoulders as if he was preparing to lunge into battle. The mischievous glint in his eyes gave you the impression that he was, in fact, going to fight off his dear friend for him to play a game… Or prepare himself to be beat up, and then plead his surrender. As much as you wanted to watch the gruesome battle between two teenaged boys have a bickering show-down, you interrupted Yuji and pushed him back into his chair.

“Fine, let me talk to him,” you sighed, before heading your way to the entrance. Yuji on the other hand squealed in delight, following right behind you before grabbing hold of your wrist to high-five his hand with yours.

“Great because I was really not looking forward to another argument— I mean, I would win of course… But I would feel bad for Megumi if he lost! Soooooo… I’ll let you talk to him,” Yuji exclaimed, boastfully leaning against the doorframe with his chin held high. You stood outside his dorm room and shut the door in his face, before walking to Megumi’s room right beside his.

You knocked once. Twice. Possibly three times, you’ve lost count, until it finally opened. Megumi opened the door with a grumble, not bothering to look up as he barked, “I don’t need anymore paper—“

“Not about paper,” you added, peeking your head around the slight crack he managed to pry open. “Come play Warzone.”

Megumi eyed you blankly and you couldn’t help but feel a bit weirded out. Was there a strand of hair sticking up? Something wrong with your face? No, it was him trying to calm his nerves and train his brain to go back into his zen state of mind for a moment— Just for a second! So he can actually talk to you properly without worrying about stammering his words. Thankfully, it’s something he’s good at.

“Warzone?” he questioned before sighing, “Did Yuji ask you to do this?”

“Yes and no,” you glanced back at Yuji’s closed door, before turning your attention to Megumi again. “I guess he was pre-planning to ask you and it seemed like he was really getting into it, so I just offered.”

Megumi stiffened. If there was one other thing Yuji was good at, it was be subconsciously picking up on emotions at the right times (only the right times, he’s not giving him that much credit), and perhaps he had caught on to Megumi’s white lie he suddenly used. It was a stupid cover-up, he had tons of paper in his room already.

“Ahh, I see,” he mumbled before quietly stepping out of his room and closing the door behind him. You smiled at his acceptance to your invitation and walked back to Yuji’s room with Megumi trailing behind.

“… You’re new, right?” he asked, stuffing one hand in his pocket and using the free one to reach out to open the door for you.

You quickly thanked him, entering Yuji’s bedroom and hearing his screams. He must be in a practice game by now waiting for the both of you. The muffled sounds of gunshots and comms gave you enough context.

“Didn’t think you’d notice,” you said playfully with a laugh, making your way inside and opting to sit on Yuji’s bed. Megumi trailed in and flopped onto the free chair next to Yuji, and continued to talk to you. “You seemed the type to be in his own world”

“Well, I am… But, I did,” he responded to you quietly with his eyes locked onto the screen. A faint ‘nice kill’ emerged from his lips as he watched Yuji’s fingers fly across the desk with his mouse, headshotting an opponent. His eyes flicked back to you in intervals and tapped the tips of his fingers on top of the desk. He cleared a lump in his throat before breaking the awkward silence between you two.

“So, why did you transfer here?— To this school I mean. Not in a rude way,” he stammered, briefly looking at your face and turned back to look at Yuji’s screen. He wanted so badly to crush his forehead into the wall.

“Came here from the Kyoto region, I think Gojo wanted me to be here,” you mumbled, watching Yuji completely get demolished in the game.

“If Gojo sees potential in you, you must seem like a well-adaptable individual,” he added, eyes still glued to the screen. “That being said— he also has the urge to take someone under his wing if you’re substantially adorable to him and are in need of his ‘educational expertise’… As so he would call it.”

You let out chuckle, letting your gaze wander to the two bodies haunched over the screen; Yuji, childishly hogging the keyboard even though he wanted Megumi to play with him, and Megumi, not caring in the slightest. As you looked at him, the subtle glance of your eye caught you off guard— He was already looking at you.

“What?” you mouthed at him, narrowing your gaze until he shakes his head. A hand comes up to gently rub his cheeks, covering the slight smile you didn’t see. The faintest hue of pink dusted his cheeks, reaching down to the column of his neck.

“Nothing.”

Prompt: The villian kidnapped the hero's love interest, she remains determined believing that the hero will come for her but days after days he doesn't.

--------

The villian kidnapped the hero's love interest, she remains determined believing that the hero will come for her but days after days he doesn't.

Afterwards the villian let's her go when he realizes the hero isn't going to come save her.

The love interest starts being more distant from everyone especially the hero and although the hero doesn't notice some of her friends do but she is still reluctant to talk to them so they let her be. The pulling away was one last silent cry for help, one last plead to the hero, to see whether the man he was was still there. Turns out he wasn't.

A few months later she is just reading in a secluded section of the library with body around with her lantern. Suddenly she senses a presence, she turns around to see the villian leaning against the bookshelf.

"What are you doing here" she asks, which he blatantly ignores and walks towards her. "There is no use in kidnapping me you know what happened the last time you..."

The villian smirks "I am not here to kidnap you, love. I am here because I wan- no need your help" he lifts her face up with his finger under her chin.

"If you think I am going to help you to destroy this village you're crazy" she pulls away.

"Not to destroy the kingdom, love, but to save it".

"What are you talking about? The only thing the city needs saving from is you" She glared at him pointedly.

"Well no need to be so harsh" he says joking, putting his hand over his heart as if her words wounded him. "but atlas I can't blame you I don't really seem to have a reason to save this kingdom... especially after how it treated me..."

Before she could ask what he meant he spoke again. "But I do think that whatever will happen to this kingdom if we don't save it will be worse than anything I could ever wish to do to it" he says.

"I still have no idea what you are talking about" the girl says, confused.

"There's this....new villian, I guess. He is more powerful than any being to walk on Earth and to defeat him we have to go on a little ...trip to the origin of this Kingdom and you, my love are the person who knows exactly where that is".

That's where she grew up the place she knew the way to by heart and the place should be in rubbles after the incident.

"Why don't you just go ask the hero? He knows about it too we both grew up there, in fact he probably remembers a lot more than me....he will be willing to help you. It's his job anyway." She says, shrugging him off.

He lets out a deep chuckle "You really think that someone with an ego as big as the hero would team up with a pitiful little villian like me even if it were to save the kingdom? No, he would just waltz his way to defeat someone with powers he doesn't understand and wound up dead. That is why I need you, love"

"Stop calling me that".

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you still liked that fool, I would have assumed after the hero forgot all about your existence you would no longer be willing to be a pawn to him".

She tenses, he had gone too far but of course he had, he was the villian, he doesn't care. She turns around and starts to walk away, she needs to get out of here before she gets any more ideas of teaming up with him, he was the VILLIAN for god's sake.

The villian seems to realize that he crossed the line. He runs up to her grabbing her arm. He feels her tense under his touch and drops it. "Wait, I am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you I really do need your help with this".

She stops while her back still faces him and says "You really don't need my help, you're smart you can figure it out" but he heard what she wasn't saying, what he didn't want to admit. He'd also grown up there, something he'd liked not to mentioned.

She turns to look at him, armed crossed, looking for an reaction, whether she finds what she's looking or not the villian can't tell, as she sighs dropping her arms to her side.

"Like I said, I'm sure if you talk to the hero properly he'll be willing to help, you really don't need me or my help." She turns around again, this time determined to leave.

The villian grumbles "I already told you the hero won't listen to me. And I DO need you because you are the only one who actually cares about this kingdom, this village. All the hero wants is fame and power and you saw this happen when he chose to be there for a stupid award instead of saving you even though YOU are the reason he even got to where he is now, you actually care about the village enough to stay in the dark getting no recognition while the hero gets all the credit and popularity for the work you do, it's you who would be willing to work besides someone like me if it meant saving the place and people you love and it's you who I need for this quest" He finishes. He needed her to help him, he needed someone who cared about the city enough to put aside their differences for it.

"Okay..." He finally hears her say her voice cracking, she was trying to hold back her tears. "Wha-" he hears a few more sniffles before she finally turns and walks towards him

"I said okay. I'll hear you out and then we can discuss exactly how we are going to get to where you want me to take you" She said with determination in her voice and that fire in her eyes. The fire the hero put out.

She was back to herself, maybe not fully but she was going to be.

Herself before she became another shadow of the hero, the one he remembered, the one who she used to be when they were kids, the one before the hero broke her down, the only real villian in his world was the hero not because he stopped the villain's plan but for the way he took her away from him, just to treat her like she wasn't the best thing that ever happened to him, like she wasn't the reason his world went round, like she wasn't brighter than any star he would ever see li-like she wasn't worth every damn thing in the world and more, because if it was the villian, he would have treated her like his Queen, he wouldn't have thrown her away the way the hero did, it broke his heart when he saw her confidence fade every day the hero didn't come to her rescue because if it was him would have made sure that NOTHING ever hurt her, he would have made sure no one dared to go against her because that's what she deserves, she deserves to be treated like she's the sun on a rainy day, the stars during the night, the light at the end of a dark tunnel because that's what she was, that's what she is to him.

And if the hero wasn't going to make sure she is treated exactly as she deserves than he would because the hero had his chance, and now it was his turn.

[themoonking]

im all for making fun of and criticizing the way booktok (and booktube) aestheticize reading to an insane degree, making it more about being percieved as a reader more than like. actually reading. but some people on here lump the most normal things ever into the booktok consumerism pile?

like yes, booktok/tube places a lot of emphasis on the visuals of "reading", but then someone on here just went and said that simply "not wanting to damage your books" is a stupid booktok thing??? what? it's not vain or pretentious to care about your posessions, especially if they mean a lot to you. simply wanting your books to remain in good condition is not the same as having 100 unread books, or five editions of the same book, or books you hated, purely because they look nice.

and someone else said that having a yearly reading goal was also a stupid booktok/tube thing? since when? i've met people who set themselves yearly reading goals before youtube even existed. it's literally just a new years resolution, but tailored to a specific hobby?

#anti booktok #kinda went off in the tags lmao #like if you don't care about your books being a bit beat up and worn all power to you but its just insane to me #to say that NOT wanting your books to get worn means that you don't really care about reading?? what? #like for some people their most worn books are their most loved #but before i really got into reading if i had a beat up book its because i did not fucking care about it #and wouldn't bother if it got gnawed on by my dog or if it fell off the table into water #it's almost like we're all different and show our love and care for things in different ways? #'taking care of your things is stupid' is not the hot take you think it is bestie #and this person said in their post 'well i was always taught-' yea YOU were always taught #some people didn't grow up that way and weren't taught that idiot #similarly having special editions isn't the problem it's the overemphasis on having special editions #of books you didn't even enjoy #purely for the clout and the status that comes with owning a lot of special editions #wanting a pretty bookshelf isn't the problem you know some people just like it when their space is nice who knew #its when the bookshelf LOOKING nice supersedes literally anything else #like it doesn't matter if you enjoyed the book or if you read the book it just matters that it looks really nice on the shelf #something something nuance #vagueposting

[mango-sideburns]

So I'm doing a whole book binding thing and........binding the transcripts of all the episodes of TAZ and making like physical books of them would be dumb right?

........right?

#the adventure zone #taz #ok but imagine #side by side on a bookshelf: the graphic novel set and the original transcripts #obvi we know what the gns look like but like. the transcripts w little annotations and doodles inside. the cover for balance #would have the ipre logo. the commitment would have the 24? logo #im catching up kinda slow so thats as far as ive gotten but! i need practise binding things so maybe thisll be my first project #i need something i can kinda fuck up so my real projects go better #maybe i will maybe i wont we'll see #i just. want to experience them again without listening to literally 120 hours of podcast #thats like (im dyslexic hold on) #5 entire days nonstop no sleep #which yes ok tv shows are longer but also. i wanna annotate them

look how they massacred OUR boy comrades

#ftr i dont even play cpl anymore. just wanted to log on and see how they 'improved' rooms by making them look horrid like last year #like bro. why is your anniversary party taking rooms that actually have pretty high quality assets and making them look worse #to be 'classic'. my brother in christ the wiki literally has high quality assets/rooms...you dont need to make them look Bad. they dont eve #look like this if you look at ACTUAL images/footage of those parties most of the time! (asides from 2005/2006 which iirc Did look grainy) #i could go on but i shan't unless asked but in closing: i dont like cpl. i would not EVER recommend club penguin legacy. #you would have more enjoyment engaging with official media through the books. magazine archive...ds and wii games...and flashpoint for all #of the mini games (some beta tester games are there too but not all) psa missions bookshelf books newspaper and a comic maker disney put ou #for the game. or making OCS or fanfics! or just play a different cpps that isnt cpl or ncp.

[bookwyrminspiration]

it took all morning but!! i got my new bookshelf my dad and I built into my room and anchored to the wall, then reorganized all of my books!! so because I am very excited as I have wanted this for years and been looking forward to it for months, I am sharing photos with all of you. get ready!! (under the cut)

(All IDs are in alt text)

so this was the situation I was starting out with:

to summarize, a mess. Books were stacked double and to the top of each section. I couldn’t see half my books at any given time and kept accidentally buying second copies because I forgot I owned them (if you look really closely at the final result photos down further you'll find three copies of Stars Above by David Baldacci)

I’d originally just used the corner bookshelf that I got like seven years ago, but the books I own have gotten thicker and more numerous so I borrow that mini shelf from my parents’ office. It’s not very efficient but it is more space. However I had more books still hence a small stash in the closet (no, there were no gay books in the closet to my knowledge :/)

so!! my dad and I built this new bookshelf in the same style as my corner one (because they were a custom order by a bookstore that closed that we bought the shelves from when they sold all their stock, we couldn't order any).

We didn’t stain it which is why they’re different colors, but we cut, sanded (we don't have a planer), screwed, and nailed everything together!! So this is a picture of it in place:

It’s a little funky but!! I think it’s better that way. I anchored it into the wall after taking this photo and then rearranged all of my books, electing to get rid of 9 in the process, which still left me with 375 to organize (out of 377, as one is in a different location and another my dad is borrowing). I may get rid of more in the future, but we'll see!

Took me some time but now I have two shelves that look like this!!

I know it doesn’t exactly look like it but I now have room to grow!! There is space for new books, which is something I haven’t had in literally years. So that’s what I spent my morning doing <33

i have inhaled an entire sahara desert's worth of sand and dust throughout this process but 100% worth it and would do again. I am very excited about this so forgive my ramblings but!! new bookshelf!! guys do you see it I built a whole other bookshelf

#quil's unholy underworld #also I usually have a few things on the floor next to my shelves that just aren't in the photo. like my backpack and a ukelele #but like!! look!! #built a whole ass bookshelf from scratch #feel free to judge my taste in books aswell #please note the keeper and twilight sections #if you see any books on here you want to talk about feel free to ask! I love talking about books #just fair warning I have only read 64% of the books I own #so entirely possible if you say something i will know nothing about the book and it's currently just looking pretty on my shelf #but! in that event it would get bumped up my tbr so that I could talk to you about it! #my goal is to read more of the books I own but haven't read yet #and that doesn't need to be in any particular order so I'm open to suggestions :) #i am very excited about this everyone I may be a little obnoxious about it

[kuiinncedes]

reorganizing my bookshelf 😈✌️

#maybe lol hopefully i actually have the motivation to do it 🤪 #my bookshelf has been a mess for so long bc i’ve had books in two different places but they’re all back together now hehe #and i think i’m doing by color lol 🥴 controversial but i like it XD and i think i would be very indecisive with any other ordering method #color gives me like a solid reason for where each book is lol and it’s just fun 😌 #jeanne talks #also it’s kinda hot here in my room but i don’t want to open my window bc little bugs kept getting in #i noticed a tiny hole in my window screen lmfao so :’) i think there’s a mosquito or something that looks like one in here somewhere #and i tried to kill it but i didn’t 😭 and idk where it is now lmfao rip anyway #books time jdfgdhfbc #but also rip i think i’m probably taking at least a few books when i move back to college XD #so a very short reunion for the shelf lmao 🤪

[citrus-cactus]

So, if I was going to buy an edition of Dracula (besides the Studio Kirkland one), does anyone have any recommendations for ones that are, or were recently, in print? I’m eyeing the Norton Critical versions (either first or second edition), just for the annotations and extras.

#dracula daily #I know I have the whole thing in my inbox but #a) I kind of want to read it in original order #and b) I just want to have it on my bookshelf you know? #it looks like second edition has more extras than first so that seems like a win? #also do I want the manga version? kind of #how many versions of this book is too many rotfl #the cactus speaks

[slippery-minghus]

whew. just spent what felt like forever packing one (1) very large box of kitchen things. doesn't feel like i did a lot, but it was just as much time and effort going through the shit and throwing out what i don't need as it was actually packing. so having only one box to "show for it" feels a little misleading lmao.

taking a short break now, and then one more spurt of packing before i call it quits for the day 💪

#i feel like i've done so little compared to last saturday but i also did intentionally start with easy-to-pack shit #and not things that needed to be sorted and wiped down and all of that #it's going to take precisely as long as it's going to take and the kitchen is much more complicated than the bookshelf lmao #i also took all the magnets/stickers(held on by tape for display w/o commitment!) off my fridge and dishwasher #and they look so barren now 🥺 #the kitchen is just so much little fiddly shit. but the most annoying stuff is packed #i'll have about one box of essential dishes/pots and then another for my pantry (which will likely be easy to downsize) #doing this all on my own does feel more daunting that i want to admit but it's also making me very proud of myself #my mom wants to come help but it just so happened that i found The Place while she's on her many-week cross-country rv trip lmao #which honestly is fine because one of the most stressful things about moving is everyone teeling you to pack your shit This Way Not That Way #this way i can pack everything in the way that makes sense to me and i'll know where all my shit's ended up #hoooooooh okay i am exhausted but i need to get up and keep going #i said i'd work til 4 and that's 40min away i can do this #narrating my life #my legs feel kinda tingly from standing so long 🤪

HOW have my roommates not seen me cry on the main floor yet. Astounding timing

#today it was about how badly i want to clean the downstairs walls then hang these pictures then paint my worst bedroom wall #but im starting to think i might never paint it #and it'll just taunt me forever #i guess that's pessimistic?? #crying #again #slightly #earlier it was vocal #its gonna look so beautiful painted and then i want to build a bookshelf to go in front of it #i have the bookshelf boxed unbuilt already #GOD i havent assembled the crayfish either
