The amount of thought that went into his prompt was a little too much. Mainly bc I had an idea...but then I accidentally gave it to Arthur because I was on a roll with his and didn't realize. Oops.

I might be a Vlad hater now but I don't mind writing him. He's a whore.

But here's 3??? of 12???? If the wheel of smut.

Prompt: you being a brat and he decides to fix that

You lay in his bed sending him photos. You are in his shirt and some underwear, but the shirt is doing nothing for you.

You take photo after photo after photo in different poses and blow up his phone. He won't be coming after you soon however, he's busy working, so there's a chance he won't even see the photos for some time.

The two of you spent the day together yesterday and you even slept in his bed last night and you were sweet as can be. Maybe that's why you're being a brat now.

Texting him half naked pictures with text that reads "the blanket isn't keeping me warm, I need you instead" and "your cock belongs right here~"

By the time he gets back to you, you are dressed and doing some chores around the castle, almost forgetting you even sent those.

You feel your phone vibrating like crazy in your pocket while you are cleaning up from eating lunch. You opt not to even look at it, already knowing you're in trouble. It will be much more fun to play dumb when he gets back.

You think back to something you noticed the other day. You noticed a notebook next to his bed with nothing but a few tally marks on the page. You asked Vlad what it was for and he told you that he was keeping track of how much you've been a brat in the last week.

It explains why he hasn't decided to punish you in the moment. He is keeping track and has something bigger planned at the end of the week. But with how many times you felt your phone go off, you don't think he can wait two more days.

After some cleaning you go outside into the garden to relax, very curious about what the texts say, but you don't want to look at them. You want to be "surprised" when he comes back upset.

You kneel in front of a bed of flowers, admiring them, when suddenly you're picked up.

"Hey! What do you-"

You realize it's Vlad that swung you I've this shoulder like a ragdoll.

"You didn't need to be so rough, I would have followed if you asked," you tease and try looking at his facial expression.

"I can be as rough as I want after that."

He holds you tighter, immediately taking you to his bedroom. You should be intimidated, and worried about what he's going to do, but he smells so much like flowers when he comes home that it's soothing.

You're lost in a trance until he drops you on the bed.

"I didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to throw me around."

You sit up on the bed, but he immediately pushes you back down, a hand around your neck. You gasp while his knee squeezes between your legs.

"You've done a lot wrong, draga mea," he softly growls. "You aren't very obedient."

You squirmed under him like you're trying to get away. "What happened until waiting until the end of the week~ Did I push your buttons too much," you smirk at him, still believing you have the upper hand.

"You're not as well trained as I thought. I think you need to learn your lesson."

He lets you go, sitting up, taking his belt off. You start grinding against his leg but he quickly puts a stop to it. Putting his hand on your lower abdomen and pushing you down into the mattress.

"Stay."

Of course you aren't going to listen. Just as you're about to do it again, he holds you down again.

"If you don't stay I'll just use your other hole."

You whine and decide to not do it again. Vlad takes your shirt off before tying your hands together with his belt.

"Maybe I should turn each of those pictures into a tally, what do you think? That would bring you up to seven."

"What do you plan on doing, Tati~"

You start moving your hands against the belt until he pushes them above your head into the pillows.

"Each mark is a whole hour that I'm going to tease and edge you," he smirks, getting closer to your face.

You start to get nervous. That would mean seven hours. Seven hours of him having you on edge. You hoped the nervousness didn't show on your face.

"I can handle it for seven hours," you get cocky. What's the worst he can do anyway? "You're going to be the one who feels bad and stops early."

"Oh we'll see," he smirks and pulls your pants off, throwing them to the side along with your underwear.

You bite your tongue to stop moans as he touches your body. His fingers go down and glide against the entrance of your hole. You can't help but buck your hips up and he immediately slaps the inside of your thigh.

"Ahh!"

"I told you to stay," he hisses. "If you can't then you'll get tied to the bed."

You got your thigh slapped a few more times before Vlad got up to get the rope. He tied your feet down and decided to tie your hands to an upper post to the bed.

Now your legs were forced apart with no hope of you being able to close them.

Hour one was barely up and he's yet to finger you, but damn to your nipples hurt. He's been pinching and nibbling at them, enjoying watching you squirm like crazy.

"Those pictures of yours would have been much better if your body was covered in my cum."

He sits between your legs, his hands on your very red thighs. You look down at him, your chest heaving. It looks like he's going to finally fuck you and you start to whine.

He's undoing his pants to get his cock out, but then starts to rub himself.

He raises an eyebrow at you. "Hm? You think I'm going to fuck you after how you acted?" He chuckles. "No. I'm just going to make you look pretty."

He keeps rubbing himself, with his second hand he teases you with a finger, never quite entering you. You try moving your hips the best you could for something.

"Maybe by hour four you will have earned something."

You try to tug your hands free. Hearing his moans is driving you crazy. The fact that you aren't why he's moaning is driving you insane.

It's not long before your body is covered in his cum.

He pulls out his phone from his back pocket and looks at the photos you sent him earlier.

"Perfect. So much more beautiful now," he purrs at his handiwork work and you are pretty sure he takes a picture or two.

"Vlad.. please.."

He holds your jaw with his hand and smirks. "Aww... Are you already breaking? It's barely been two hours. We have five more to go. Or are you going to be a good girl and apologize? You're going to have to be on your knees to apologize correctly."

You try pouting the best you can. "No! I have nothing to apologize for."

"Look at you for sticking up for what you believe in. Pity," he looks at his phone again. "Time to make a brat squirm."

Your body jerks. He looks down at you, being able to tell that you are doing your best not to moan.

"Come on, draga mea. I'm sure Faust and Charles would love to hear the beautiful sounds you make."

You try kicking your feet to be able to close your legs, or to even roll over. You and Vlad have been messing with one of those app controlled vibrators for the last few months. He's been relatively fair when using it. But this is evil. You knew you should have taken it out. But then how much more trouble would you be in?

He smiles, enjoying his little show. Eventually he gets off the bed and turns it up.

"Ahh! Vlad!"

"That's what I like to hear," he sets his phone on the table next to his bed. Since the castle is stone, he can't take his phone too far or it stops.

"I'm going to see how the other two are doing and I'll be back to check on you, maybe," he boops your nose and fixes his pants as he walks out of his room.

Your body squirms and wiggles and you try to hold in moans.

You have no clue how long it has been since Vlad left. Your chest is heaving and you can't stop whining. You hear the door open.

"Vlad!" you're so frustrated, but also exhausted. You can't say much more than his name.

"Aww look at you," he stands next to the bed and grabs his phone. "Do you have anything to say to me?"

"I-I-I'm sorry. I- I'll be good!"

"Just what I wanted to hear," he smirks and turns it off.

You pant as your body finally relaxes.

"Don't get too comfortable now," he pulls the small vibrator out of you, setting it on the side table. "It's my turn now."

He takes his shirt off and starts getting his pants off. "And since you were a good girl," he unties your feet but immediately gets between your legs. You pull at your arms and whine. "You haven't been that good."

He moves both of your legs over his shoulders, easily sliding into your hole.

You take in a sharp gasp of air and whimper.

"You're so slick. How much did you cum while I was gone," he chuckles and slides all the way into you. Getting as deep as he can so his entire cock is in you.

"Ahh, V-Vlad!"

"I've barely started and you're screaming my name. Someone learned their lesson."

He leans down slightly, your knees basically at your chest and he starts trusting.

You pull at your restraints, squirming under him. You cummed too much that was your answer. But now with the added movement of being fucked, your mind starts to go numb.

Your mouth hangs open as you moan and whine. You go cross eyed and see stars.

"What a good girl," he purrs between his grunts. "You look so pretty~"

He brings your knees closer to your chest, lifting your bottom half off the bed. His tip starts hitting you at a new angle causing you to whine louder.

He picks up the pace and holds you tighter.

"Ahh!" You squeeze your eyes shut and bite you lip.

With a low growl he grabs your jaw to make you look in his direction. "Look at me."

You slowly open one eye, and then the next, being met with his deep red eyes.

"You look at me when I fuck you, got it?"

You try to make a moan of approval.

"Good girl," he lets your jaw go and doesn't take his eyes off of you.

After some time you feel your body going numb. You have climaxed so much that you aren't sure if you can anymore. You're too tired to pull your restraints. Your eyes start to flicker.

"Tired already? What happened to being able to handle it for all seven hours," he chuckles. His hot breath hits against you. You can only hope that he's getting close.

Unable to talk, you just whine as a smart remark.

"Good girl," he groans. His hips snap harder into you. You tend to forget that along with being a pureblood comes enhanced strength. Rarely does he show it, but in time like this you get a taste of it, and it's hard to believe that he's still holding back.

Looking up at him, forcing your eyes to stay open, you see his fangs poking out past his lips.

He slightly adjusts your body, causing his cock to shift inside you.

"Ahh-hh!"

"Fuuck..just like that," he gasps and gets faster. You get louder, screaming almost. He gets faster and faster, holding you tighter and tighter, keeping you motionless. Using you to just be a hole where his cum goes.

You weakly pull in your restraints as he buries himself inside you, cock twitching as it spills out every bit of his cum.

You both pant hard. He carefully lets your legs fall to the bed to let you relax.

As he slowly lets you go, you now start realizing how sore and tired your body really is.

Vlad sits up, looking down at you, chest heaving. "God you're a mess," he pulls out of you and takes his belt off from around your wrists, kissing each one.

You rest your hands on your body, moaning softly since they could finally change position.

Vlad lays beside you and pulls you in to cuddle. "I hope you've learned your lesson," he purrs in your ear, kissing you softly.

For the Sentence Starters... I went with one from each category but feel free to pick the one that speaks to you the most. Or throw in all three, whatever works! Angst: 7, Fluff: 12, Misc: 1 💖

These come from this ask game! (If anyone else has more prompts for me, send them my way! I'm enjoying these ones a lot!)

Angst 7: Don't you ever do that again!

John felt a pair of hands collide roughly with his back, sending him staggering forward several steps. "What were you thinking?" a voice barked from behind him.

He turned slowly. "You're having a moment, Petty Officer," he answered coldly.

Linda-058, a woman known for her calm in the most adverse conditions known the humankind, regarded him with a vitriolic sneer. "No, Master Chief," she countered hotly, "it just appears that you forgot to switch your brain on today."

John crossed his arms over his chest. "You've clearly got something to say to me, Spartan. Say it."

"Oh, cut it," Linda barked. Her reactions were past the line of insubordination at this point, but he would let it slide. "You nearly got yourself killed today," the sniper continued, her temper burning to match her bright red hair. "Spare me the stoicism, Chief. You need to screw your head back on straight."

The Master Chief cocked his head to one side. She was right... he had nearly gotten killed earlier. But it was for the mission. From his perspective, sacrificing himself would have been a valuable trade for a successful mission.

Linda, evidently, disagreed.

The female Spartan glared daggers at John, her chest heaving under the weight of her rage. Finally, she dropped her gaze to the floor. "I thought I lost you," she confessed, her voice whisper-quiet. "It was... it was the worst moment of my life."

Suddenly it felt as though someone had stuck a knife in John's side and twisted. He looked at the barely disguised pain on Linda's face and realized what his action might have done to her. It wasn't a pretty thing to confront.

"I'm... I'm sorry," he said, the apology feeling foreign on his lips. He was a commander. The commander of the greatest soldiers in human history. Asking forgiveness was not something he often found himself doing. But for Linda... it was worth it. "I didn't realize."

He took a few slow, awkward steps forward. His hand landed gently on her arm. She wouldn't be able to feel his grip through her armor, but he hoped it made some difference.

Linda huffed out a sigh. Finally she lifted her eyes to meet his. "Just... don't ever do that again," she said firmly.

John wanted to tell her that he would do it again if the situation ever called for it. That he had to be ready to make the ultimate sacrifice at all times... that they all did.

Instead, he nodded. "I won't do it again," he promised. It was probably a lie. She knew that. But it was what she needed to hear at that moment.

Linda let out the breath she had accidentally been holding. She leaned forward and rested her forehead against his. "Good," she breathed. Then she lifted her eyes to stare at him from beneath her lashes. "Because if you do, I'll bring you back to life just to kill you myself," she challenged.

John grinned. That was a threat he could live with.

Fluff 12: He's so pretty I think I'm going to faint.

Serin Osman settled into the chair with a tired sigh. The massive woman across the table stared at a fixed point on the wall behind her, her face a somewhat adorable approximation of a pout. "Talk to me, Spartan," the captain said firmly. "Something's obviously wrong."

Naomi-010 dropped her head into her hands. "I don't know what's wrong with me," she groaned. "I can't focus, I can't sleep... it's like I'm possessed. This has never happened before."

Serin sat up straighter in her chair. This kind of fatigue was important to meet head-on when dealing with long-term missions behind enemy lines. "What's distracting you?" she asked in a measured tone.

As she waited for Naomi's answer, Serin's mind immediately began processing potential causes. Burnout - unlikely, but possible. Survivor's guilt - given the number of Spartan casualties of the past few months, a much higher probability. Exhaustion - the most likely by far.

Naomi pulled in a shaky breath before finally answering in a quiet voice; "Vaz."

Serin blinked. Then she blinked again. "Come again?" she asked, smoothing out her uniform in an attempt to disguise her mounting confusion.

The Spartan didn't lift her head from her hands. "Corporal Beloi," she confirmed, sounding absolutely miserable. "I can't stop thinking about him. I feel like I'm going insane.

Captain Osman did her best not to let a smirk show on her face. She suddenly didn't feel quite so bad about her own flirtations with Sergeant Geffen. "Is there something going on between you two?" she asked, trying to broach the topic carefully to avoid shutting the Spartan down.

Naomi shook her head vehemently. "No. At least... I don't think so." Finally, she lifted her eyes to look at Serin. "That's the problem though. I want there to be." Then she dropped her head back to the table with an audible thunk. "He's so pretty," she said pathetically. "I think I'm going to faint."

Now Serin couldn't keep the smile off her face. She didn't even try. To her credit, she at least didn't laugh out loud.

"What do I do?" Naomi asked, her voice muffled by the table she had shoved her face into.

Serin gently reached out and carefully patted the back of Naomi's hand, doing the most comforting thing she could think of at the moment. "Well... there's only one thing you really can do," she said slowly. Naomi lifted her face. There was hope in her eyes. "The next time we make port somewhere, buy him a drink," Serin proposed.

Naomi dropped her head again. "I was afraid you would so that," she moaned.

Misc. 1: All I do is drink coffee and say bad words.

"So, what do you do for fun?"

Senator Chuchi - Riyo, he reminded himself again - had such a light way of speaking. Like her words could just up and float away if they wanted to. She was wandering around Fox's office, trying to act as though the Spartan accommodations were at all interesting.

The clone knew, subconsciously, that the shelves on his office wall were supposed to be for holostills. For souvenirs from planets visited. For keepsakes from friends and family. He didn't have any of those things. So instead he had filled his shelves with extra charge packs, a few thermal detonators, and even the parts to a Z6 Rotary Canon for him to put together whenever the stress was too much to focus on paperwork.

"No time for 'fun,' Ma'am," he responded gruffly. "I have too much work to do."

Riyo circled away from the sparse 'decorations' adorning his walls and turned back to Fox. She reached out to pick up his helmet from where it had been sitting on his desk. Part of him wanted to snap at her. To take the helmet out of her hands and reprimand her for touching the kit of a Marshal Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic.

The rest of him knew that he would never be able to snap at Riyo. She could arm one of those thermal detonators and ask him to sit on it until it exploded for her and his only answer would be, "Yes, thank you."

To say he was in trouble when it came to the Pantoran Senator Riyo Chuchi would be an understatement of mythic proportions.

Riyo's delicate hands ghosted over the painted patterns on his helmet. She'd asked him, once, if the symbols meant anything. They didn't. He just thought that it looked nice. When he'd told her as much, she smiled at him as though that in and of itself meant something. She always smiled at him like that. Like he meant something.

"Come on, Fox," she goaded. There was a smile on her full, perfect lips that tasted like Jogan fruit. "There has to be something that you do for fun."

Fox glanced up at her from his datapad, offering her a rare half-smile. "You've known me long enough to know I don't understand fun, Senator. All I do is drink caf and swear at my troopers."

Riyo drew up to her full height. She wasn't a large woman. He couldn't help but smirk at her attempted intimidation display.

"And you have known me long enough to know that I hate when you call me that, Commander," she said sternly. She was the only person in the galaxy who got away with calling him by his name more frequently than by his rank.

For some reason, he hated it when she called him by his rank. It sounded wrong.

Riyo regarded him with a stern expression for several seconds before giving in and smiling again. "Well... we'll just have to find something fun for you, then," she said carefully. "Next time maybe I'll bring a board game along."

No matter how often they did this - which was almost daily - Fox couldn't help but worry it would be the last time. He felt an excited thrill tremble down his spine as she spoke so casually about next time.

Judging by the softening smile on her face, Riyo seemed to be reading his thoughts. She did that a lot. Sometimes he was convinced that she was a Jedi... or maybe he really just wore his heart on his sleeve. Or his face, as it were. Either way, Riyo was suddenly standing very close to him, her citrus-scented shampoo that she had used every day since he complimented it in passing once filling his nostrils and her hands delicately meshing in his black hair.

The first two fingers of one hand rested on the point of his chin, and she turned his face toward her. His eyes slid shut automatically, and then her lips were on his. They were soft, and full, and perfect. Just like the rest of her. She lingered longer than was strictly necessary - as if any of this were strictly necessary - and Fox soaked up every second he possibly could.

Finally, Riyo drew back. "I have to get going," she said, her eyes wide and vulnerable and sad. She always looked sad when she had to go. It broke his heart... but it also filled him with something else. A happier feeling. Pride, maybe, that such a perfect creature could possibly miss him.

"I'll miss you," he breathed. The words slipped out by accident, but he didn't retract them. What would be the point? They were true. He missed her every moment she wasn't around.

Riyo smiled, and it was more powerful than the light of Coruscant's star stabbing through the planet's ever-present toxic cloud cover. He basked in that light. Sometimes it felt more important to him than oxygen. "I'll miss you too," she sighed, her words barely audible.

Then she kissed him again. Then she was gone. She paused in the doorway, turning over her shoulder to say, "I'll see you tomorrow, Fox."

The door slid shut behind her. Once it did, and he was sure that no one could see him, Fox let a full-fledged smile fill his face.

He couldn't wait.

Thanks for the prompts! This was fun. Also thanks to @thefinaljediknight and @helix-studios117 for helping me decide which pairings to use! I'm also tagging @makowrites because there's some Vaz/Naomi going on and I'd hate to think she missed that.

🌞 Colorwheel Timestamp Roulette 2.0 🌞

Yes I am doing this again, but here's the twist! CTR round 1 we got a lot of great episodes but a lot of them were from the same set of seasons! This time I'm narrowing down the pool of options with only 6 colors (which secretly correspond to the 4 seasons we totally missed out on last time + 2 of the seasons I wish we had gotten more from). So...

Go to my ask box and send me a number 1-12 (to indicate an episode) + one of the following colors (which secretly correspond to one of the seasons):

periwinkle - Season 1 ep. 12

gold - Season 7 ep. 12

coral

magenta - Season 11 ep. 02

turquoise - Season 4 ep. 07

sage - Season 10 ep. 11

And well, let's see what we can get out of this in round 2!! 🍀🌿🌵🍃🌱💚🌚

CLOSED - THANKS FOR ALL YOUR ASKS <3

Curious exactly how this works? I'll explain more below.

There's two layers of chance to this game: First: You don't know what season you're picking. I have already assigned seasons to each color though, so you really are picking a specific season. Second: When I head to the episode to make a set of 5 gifs, I use a random number generator to get 5 different minute marks in the episode. I then have to make a gif from somewhere within the 60 seconds of each of those minute marks. This is how you ultimately get your gifs! Hope that helps <3

#ask game #shameless #shameless us #CTR round 2 #colorwheel timestamp roulette #<- feel free to click the tag to see all the gif sets from round 1!#CTR compilation posts

aiia theater — haikyuu!! characters will star here! opera epiclese — genshin impact characters will star here! stellis film festival — tears of themis characters will star here! golden theater — honkai impact characters will star here!

next, specify what time you'll watch this movie!

12:00 — fluff. 15:30 — angst. 19:00 — hurt/comfort. 21:30 — slightly suggestive.

thirdly, kindly state the movie you're planning to watch! anything goes—i only ask the movie is not particularly inappropriate (i am a minor) and if the movie isn't particularly well-known or if you want a specific scene, provide a quote or just say it as it is!

then, please check out the concessions here for preferences! feel free to add as many as you'd like! of course, if you don't really care, you don't have to say anything!

candy — mass headcanon style! (like this) popcorn — normal headcanon style! (like this, i'll pick runner ups as extras!) sodapop — scenario style! (like this, but with one character!) water — interview style! (i talk about why i picked your match up and personal headcanons of what the two of you would be like as a couple or friends.)

and finally, tell me about yourself, as little or as much as you'd prefer! (don't add this part if you choose to order candy! mass headcanon style requires a prompt of some sort!) though, to make it fun, you can keep to the theme of this event—list your favorite movies, celebrity crushes, favorite genres, etc! please specify your pronouns if needed, otherwise it would be written as they/them.

if you want a romantic match up, add "tickets for two!"

your request can look similar to something like this!

hi! i'd like to order tickets for two at the the aiia theater for the 12:00 am showing of [insert any movie here]!

[match up info right here!]

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬?

i write for almost every genshin character except chiori, emilie, and iansan. characters such as klee, diona, qiqi, nahida, dori, sayu, and sigewinne are strictly platonic.

i write for every tears of themis love interest including side characters such as darius morgan, celestine taylor, harry grant, winnie cooper, william lewis, howard syter, kiki bennett, and vincent kim.

i write for every major haikyuu!! character but due to it’s large cast, you might have to search through this post (i suggest ctrl+f , command+f, or type in the browser and click 'find' and type in the box that pops out the character you’re looking for) to see if i’m able to write for the character you want…

So I found this around, can I ask for Merthur & Kagehina?

♥ Send a ship and I'll give you who:

- Gives nose/forehead kisses

- Gets jealous the most

- Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive

- Takes care of on sick days

- Drags the other person out into the water on beach day

- Gives unprompted massages

- Drives/rides shotgun

- Brings the other lunch at work

- Has the better parental relationship

- Tries to start role-playing in bed

- Embarrassingly drunk dancer

- Still cries watching Titanic

- Firmly believes in couples costumes

- Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas

- Makes the other eat breakfast

- Remembers anniversaries

- Brings up having kids

Ohhh this is gonna be so fun to answer, thank you for this wonderful ask!! ❤️❤️

1. Gives nose/forehead kisses

Kagehina: Both, for sure! Kageyama is at the perfect height to give Hinata forehead kisses and Hinata kisses Kageyama's forehead because he's baby.

Merthur: Arthur!!! He's just the type, yknow?

2. Gets jealous the most

Kagehina: Hinata. No contest. His jealousy is canon too.

Merthur: Merlin. Again, very canon.

3. Picks the other up from the bar when they're too drunk to drive

Kagehina: Kageyama. I don't think he'd like drinking that much so he rarely ever gets drunk, whereas Hinata seems like the kind of person who loves partying.

Merthur: I can imagine this for both :')

4. Takes care of on sick days

Kagehina: Both both BOTH!!

Merthur: Once again both, but Merlin is better at it.

5. Drags the other person out into the water on beach day

Kagehina: Hinata!! He's a beach boy! And also Kageyama not being able to swim and being scared of water is a cute thought.

Merthur: Arthur! (Not to make any Avalon Lake jokes here heheh). Anyway, Arthur just seems a bit more athletic and outgoing, while Merlin probably wants to chill under a beach umbrella with a nice book.

6. Gives unprompted massages

Kagehina: Both. They're both professional athletes so the chances of their bodies being sore and needing a nice massage are high, and they're both good at it too! :)

Merthur: Merlin, which is probably canon since he's Arthur's manservant and Arthur is a knight sooooo

7. Drives/rides shotgun

Kagehina: Hinata driving is An Important Concept for me, so yes, he's the one who drives and Kageyama rides shotgun trying not let his competence kink get activated (and failing).

Merthur: Arthur drives, and I know he loves it too. Him being rich in most AUs means that I can see him being really into high-end racecars too. Merlin probably never learned how to drive and prefers a bicycle or something instead.

8. Brings the other lunch at work

Kagehina: Neither? Their definition of work is very different lmao

Merthur: Merlin if we're going the canon route xD

9. Has the better parental relationship

Kagehina: Hinata :') We never even see Kageyama's parents and it makes me so curious about his family life.

Merthur: Merlin, of course! Hunith is the best mom <3 and let's not even talk about Arthur's relationship with Uther.

10. Tries to start role-playing in bed

Kagehina: Hinata, but it fails BADLY. I've actually read the most hilarious fic about this.

Merthur: Merlin, and once again, it fails BADLY. If we're talking canon, he probably tries to reverse their roles and Arthur has to play the manservant ;)

11. Embarrassingly drunk dancer

Kagehina: HINATAAAAA

Merthur: MERLINNNN

12. Still cries watching Titanic

Kagehina: Both. (Kageyama's a secret softie)

Merthur: Arthur. (He's a hopeless romantic)

13. Firmly believes in couples costumes

Kagehina: Hinata, probably xD Kageyama does not care about stuff like this.

Merthur: Nah, neither.

14. Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas

Kagehina: Neither, because they don't want to lose to the other by breaking a rule in the gift-giving competition.

Merthur: I shouldn't even have to say this but Arthur.

15. Makes the other eat breakfast

Kagehina: Neither of them needs to be made to eat, let's be real. They're healthy boys!

Merthur: Arthur, because Merlin always forgets to eat proper meals and take care of himself.

16. Remembers anniversaries

Kagehina: Hmm, I can see both for this? Hinata is sentimental like that, but Kageyama is so organised that I think he'd have reminders for all important events while Hinata's a bit careless.

Merthur: BOTH!!

17. Brings up having kids

Kagehina: Oh, I have so many thoughts about this, but let me just say Hinata for now. (Kageyama takes a little convincing.)

Merthur: Arthur. I know he yearns for a family :((

#I LOVED DOING THIS THANK YOUUUU #ask response #kagehina #merthur #haikyuu!!#bbc merlin

Part Two:

I couldn't wait to post part two!

Word count: 2,091

He's the first thing I think about when I wake up that morning, the cold chill of November blanketing my one-bedroom apartment as I lie on my back, staring up at the ceiling. Even now, as I find myself in the comfort of my bedroom, my mind feels like it's trapped, trapped in the cold stares and standoffish behaviour of a man I met yesterday.

In an attempt to alleviate some of the mental torture I seem to be experiencing, I force myself to get ready and feel some kind of excitement for the day ahead. This is huge! Not only have I always wanted to write at Real World Studios, but I'm writing for The 1975. I can't let anything ruin this for me.

It's bitterly cold as I leave the flat, my numb fingers fishing around in my bag for my car keys. Once I unlock the car, I sit in the drivers seat for a few minutes. Breathe.

I stick the key in and turn it.

And turn it again.

And again.

"You're kidding me." I whisper. "No, no, no..."

This has to be some kind of sick joke.

The car refuses to start, and I wonder whether this is some sort of sign from the universe.

It's 11, the drive takes approximately 35 minutes, and I told Matty I'd be there by 12pm. 'On the dot' were my exact words, actually. According to my calculations, a faulty car might delay the journey slightly.

Thankful for the quick exchange of phone numbers before we parted ways the day before, I send him a quick text. The phone rings moments later.

"I'm so sorry, my car just won't start, and-" I start immediately. Great first impression, Iris. Super professional.

"Hey, it's fine. You live like half an hour away, right?"

"Yeah, I guess I could Uber, but I won't make it for 12."

"One of us will come and pick you up. Send me your address, will you?"

After the phone call ends and a few more messages are exchanged, I admit to myself that I am, in fact, going to have to accept the help they're offering and leave the car. I wait inside the apartment.

I'm outside

The unknown sender confuses me at first, but I quickly remember that I never got Adam or George's numbers. I gather my things and rush down, spotting an unfamiliar black Audi not too far down the street.

I squint my eyes in an attempt to identify who's sat behind the tinted windscreen, shielding my eyes from the winter sunshine.

I'm not sure whether the feeling in my stomach means that I want to throw up, cry, or maybe both, actually. He's on his phone, head tilted downwards, and for a moment it's like it's a different version of Ross to the one I met yesterday. He looks cosy, the navy sweater he's wearing complementing his soft eyes, and I notice that he's smiling down at his phone. It's probably his girlfriend, I think to myself, and at the same time, I feel my heart drop in the same way it did when my high school crush asked another girl to prom. Completely unsolicited, and even more so right now.

I take a deep breath as I near the car and he looks up, unlocking the doors for me.

"Morning." He says first as I open the car door, slipping into the seat beside him. The car is warm, and I have to use every inch of self restraint to not complement the overwhelming smell of his aftershave. It's like it coats every inch of the car, forcing my hairs to stand in a way that only ever happens at a once in a lifetime concert, or when there's a huge plot twist in a book.

"Thank you so much for picking me up." I say, meeting his eyes for the first time since getting in the car. He looks tired, tired in a different way than he did yesterday. "I'll give you the petrol money."

"Don't worry about it, it's fine."

Silence engulfs the car and it feels suffocating. Maybe he's just not a very talkative guy.

"What's wrong with your car?" He says suddenly, slicing through the quiet with a clearing of his throat, his eyes still fixed ahead, like if he looked at me he might turn to stone or something.

"I'm not sure." I keep my eyes on the road. "It just wouldn't start when I turned the key."

Again, silence for a few seconds, and I assume the conversation is over.

"Might want to get that looked at."

"Hm, yeah."

I steal a glance over at him. His side profile gives me butterflies and I have to remind myself that he's been nothing but cold to me. He looks over at me and our eyes catch for a second, before I turn towards the road again. The rest of the ride is tense, but it's a different kind of tension than yesterday, not the kind I can identify.

It's like I've been holding my breath the whole way there when we finally get out of the car. I find myself walking off in front, desperate for space.

"Good morning!" Matty says enthusiastically, opening his arms for a hug like we've known each other for years. I accept it after a moment's hesitation.

"I'm sorry about the whole car thing." I say to them all, taking off my coat and scarf as I do so.

"It's ok. Ross to the rescue, eh?" Matty says with a smirk and I open and close my mouth like a goldfish, attempting to think of something witty to reply. Nothing.

We get settled in the studio with cups of tea, cigarettes, pens and paper, guitars. I tuck my knees up to my chest and listen through the soft acoustic demo George plays for me.

"It's nowhere near ready, and there's no lyrics for it yet."

I take in the gentle strum of the strings, soft percussion, and what seems to be Matty's mindless humming of a melody. It's beautiful, even at this stage. I close my eyes for a second and try to imagine vocals over it, nodding my head to place the beat and almost forgetting the company that I'm in.

When I look back up, I'm met with Ross' dark eyes. I avert my gaze from him immediately, embarrassment washing over me and tinting my cheeks pink.

"Yeah, it's great." I look down at the empty piece of paper in front of me and awkwardly tuck some hair behind my ear. "Really great."

"We just need Ross to do the bassline and then some other bits of production, and lyrics obviously." Adam adds.

I copy the melody Matty had hummed on the track, repeating it over and over as lyrics flood my head. He comes to sit next to me and peers over at what I'm writing.

"I like that." He jabs his finger at one specific line, and I nod in agreement. "The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together," He repeats out loud, George and Adam nodding too.

"I'm not sure about it." Ross pipes up.

"What's not to like about it?" George lets out a small laugh before realising that he's actually being serious.

"I just don't think it's very The 1975."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Matty bites, shaking his head with a confused expression on his face.

"It just doesn't feel like 'us'."

"Isn't that the aim?" I defend myself. "Matty said that this album's more timeless, earnest. That line is both of those things."

"Just because it's what Matty said doesn't mean it's right." He laughs sarcastically, shooting me a look that I can only describe as disdain. My blood boils as I return his sarcastic manner, shaking my head.

"If you were at the meeting yesterday, you could have voiced that." I snap. George looks between Ross and I, eyebrows raised. I get up with a sigh and head outside, the silence in the room only annoying me further.

The fresh air does me some good. Maybe Ross is right, my songs aren't very 'The 1975', but maybe that's why Jamie and Jack thought it was a good idea for me to work with them. Matty said it himself, this one needs to feels different, like a collaboration.

"Are you ok?" George's voice brings me out of my daydream.

"Yeah, just..." I shake my head, trailing off. "I don't know, I don't take criticism well."

"Just for the record, I really liked your idea." He smiles and I laugh, thanking him with a grin. We stand in silence for a few moments. I fold my arms over my chest and rest against the brick.

"What is his problem?" I say eventually. "I know you said that it wasn't personal yesterday, but that felt pretty personal."

"I don't know what's going on with him, if I'm honest. We've worked with loads of people over the years and he's never like this."

My heart sinks, and it must show on my face.

"I didn't mean that it's you, I just-"

"No, it's ok. Not everyone's going to like my writing." I huff. "But there's no need for him to be an arsehole." George laughs and nods in agreement.

"Shall we go back in?" He suggests, and although I think I'd rather just freeze to death out here, I reluctantly follow him.

We spend hours going over verses and reworking the melody to fit, and the darkness of the evening arrives by surprise.

"Fuck, what time is it?" I yawn, standing up from the armchair I'd been sat on all day.

"Half 1." George replies. I raise my eyebrows, double-checking on my phone.

"I'll book a taxi, I should probably head home."

"I'll take you, it's fine." Ross' deep voice catches me off guard, having been sat so quietly the whole afternoon.

"No, I'll get a taxi." I say coolly, avoiding his hard stare as I move around the room, putting the guitar back.

"I'm heading that way anyway."

I meet his gaze for a few moments, and eventually give in. It'll take ages for a taxi to get here, and I'm exhausted.

"Fine."

We say our goodbyes and head out to his car, the temperature somehow even colder now. I shiver and he notices, turning up the heater once we get buckled in.

I rest my head back as he drives steadily, admiring the street lights and occasional early Christmas display.

"It's a good song." He says.

"I thought you didn't like the lyrics." I say flatly.

"I..." He starts, seemingly struggling to find words. "It's just..."

"You don't think I know the band well enough." I state bluntly. "You don't think my writing suits the band. You can admit it."

He doesn't respond, and it only annoys me more.

"Why don't you just say it?" I frown, shaking my head at him.

He looks frustrated, hands gripping the steering wheel firmly and his brow set low. We sit in silence the rest of the way, our eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Is here ok?" He asks as he pulls up outside.

"Yeah, fine."

"I-"

"Thanks." I get out of the car and slam the door shut, not letting him finish what he was about to say. The car stays put as I walk up the steps to the flat, and I swear I can feel his dark eyes burning into me, watching me clumsily unlock the door. I avoid looking back, despite being so desperate to do so. A mixture of anger and something I can't place courses through my body, clouding my mind as I finally get the door open.

My blood feels hot in my veins, pulse thrumming in my ears, my mouth impossibly dry all of a sudden. I'm angry at his criticisms, his opinions towards the fact that I'm writing with the band. I'm angry because of the countless awkward silences he creates, and the glares he gives me when I break them. I'm angry at the way I feel when he stands closely behind me, when I can hear the bass of his voice in my stomach.

Most of all, I'm angry at the way my mind goes foggy when he enters a room, and how I know exactly what these feelings are, even if I don't want to admit it.

Hey, Loser - Lee Hoe Taek/Hui x Reader

Word Count - 2.1k

Genre - Rivals to lovers, Hui being Hui, two musicians that wanna be THE musician idk

Synopsis - In the bustling halls of Cube University, two students stood as stark contrasts to one another, destined to be forever entangled in a web of fierce competition and heated rivalry. As the charming overachiever, Lee Hoe Taek clashed with the quiet classmate who always matched his grades, Y/N, their paths continually intersected in a clash of creativity, spirit, and conflicting emotions. Yet, beneath the surface of their animosity, an electric current of undeniable attraction pulsed, threatening to unravel the walls they had built around their hearts. Amidst the chaos of their shared ambition, these college rivals would soon discover that the thin line dividing love and hate had never been more tantalizingly blurred.

Your eyes can't break away from the email you received from your professor. He had sent out the pairings for the full-year assignment for your music production course, worth 40% of your final grade, and your partner was the one person in class you hate the most.

Lee Hoe Taek.

You frantically type back a response, asking to have a different partner, making up a million excuses as to why you need to have anyone else other than him. You begin reading through the assignment, trying not to smash your head on your keyboard.

'Produce a 12 song album with songs of varying styles. No outside sources (vocals, live instruments, samples). One song to be finished at the end of each month, submitted to me to use as a progress tracker.'

For. Fucks. Sake.

As your teacher responds saying theres no way to switch, you bury your head in your hands, greiving for all the time youre going to have to spend with HIM.

Hoe Taek has been a thorn in your side since you started at this University. He was always one step ahead of you in class, even last year when he got a band from his old high school to perform his song live at their years prom, record it, and submit it for an assignment based around audience reaction. Whereas you just had a recording of your group of friends reacting to your song sat around your computer.

But while he could show off in popularity, your grades always battled intensely. Even when you both got an A, Hoe Taek would always check the exact point total, just to see who 'won', as he claims. You never cared for such pointless competition, but the way he acted to smug with you just burned a fire within you.

You snap out of your rage-filled trance to a knock on your dorm room door. As you pull it open, you're greeted with your dorm-neighbour and best friend, Yuto Adachi. You smile at him weakly.

"Hey," you mumble, leaning your head against the door and looking down with a sigh.

"Hey, woah.. you okay?" He responds, immediately worried by your demeanour. He bends down to meet your eyes jokingly, trying to gauge your mood.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. What's up?" You force a smile again, not wanting him to be concerned.

"Me and a couple others are going for a grocery run, do you want to come? Or do you want me to pick you up anything?" You look around your room for your phone.

"Uh, yeah, I'll send you twenty bucks, I need more pasta, and um... shit what do I need..." you trail off, trying to visualise your shelf in the fridge.

"Hey, it's okay, I'll have a look before we go, I'll text you, okay?" He says with a huffed laugh, still showing worry about what has you so frazzled. Nevertheless, he leaves you to your own devices.

~~~

The next day, before your first class of the year, you arrived early, beginning to plan for your year long project, by yourself. As you're typing away, your headphones suddenly get pulled off your head, falling to rest around your neck. You huff, knowing what's about to happen.

"Hey, loser," Hoe Taek greets, planting himself in the seat next to you. You groan and put your headphones back on your ears.

"Leave me alone, asshole," you say, going back to typing. This time he just moves one of your headphone cuffs off, placing it behind your ear.

"Don't be like that~ it'll be a long year if this is how we're going to be~" he coos, getting his own stuff out of his bag.

"Oh, don't you worry, I'm planning on killing myself very soon so you can stay away from me," you say with an innocent smile. He rolls his eyes, as he begins typing on his own laptop.

"Don't talk like that, Y/N," he says seriously, "you'd miss me far too much, hm?" He diverts back into his teasing. You hold back a laugh.

"You wish, dumbass."

~~~

Hoe Taek, or Hui, as he asked you to call him while you were working together, was setting himself up in the recording booth. You had both finished composing the music for your first song, and writing the lyrics, so all that was left was to record.

"I'll start now, okayyy?~" He calls out on the mic, you respond with a quick "yes", and begin recording, starting the backing track.

As much as he annoys you, bothers you, embarrasses you, and makes you feel like shit, his voice is beautiful. You end up staring at him through the recording room camera as he sings, resting your head on your hand.

"Yo, Y/N!" you hear from behind you, snapping you out of your trance, you spin around in your chair to see Yuto, leaning in the doorway, smirking at you.

"What are you doing~?" he singsongs, looking between you and the camera feed.

"Nothing," you say spinning back around, "I'll play it again, okay?" You say through the mic to Hui, he puts a thumbs up to the camera and you set him off again. Yuto walks over to you on the desk, bracing his arms on the back of your chair, leaning over your head.

"So you're doing okay with all this, then? If you're looking at him with such heart eyes." Your eyes go wide, looking up at him from your chair.

"What the fuck do you mean?! EW." Yuto looks down at you, eyebrow raised.

"Oh, yeah? So you're saying you hate that man singing that love song right now?" He gestures to the camera feed, and you glance over to see Hui smiling genuinely as his voice fills your ears.

Yuto moves and sits on your desk, hands resting next to his thighs.

“No, look, telling myself that I hate him is the only way I can ground myself, because I know if I admit I’ve fallen for them, then I will only hurt myself. I know he would never like me like that, he's hated me since the day we both started here.” You didn't want to admit that, since you've felt some form of attraction to Hui ever since you met, but you're convinced he only sees you as an obstacle, so you've pushed your feelings far enough down that he could never tell.

“So, you’re going to continue to pretend to hate him, even though, deep down, you know that’s the opposite of what you really feel?” Yuto questions, not moving from his spot on your desk. You simply nod.

"And then you'll come back to the dorms every day and ramble on about him for ages?" he continues, as if he's trying to egg you on.

"I do not!"

"Do so."

“He's the biggest fucking asshole known to mankind, so why the hell would I ever let his stupid face and stupid smile and stupid laugh and stupid everything consume my brain on a daily basis?” You spit, then go wide eyed, realising what you said. You cover your mouth, not expecting your feelings to re-emerge like that. Yuto simply smiles and hops down from your desk, kissing the crown of your head before leaving, calling out that he's ordering pizza to your dorms tonight. Shaking your head to return focus, you begin editing Hui's recording.

"I'll play it back for you, okay?" You say, your voice ever so slightly softer than before. Hui smiles and nods, listening intently to his own voice. He nods along with the beat, as do you.

As the incomplete song wraps up, Hui claps a couple times before taking off the headphones. "Your turn, loser." He says through the mic, heading out of the booth.

~~~

You're hanging out at the campus baseball field, working on your assignment while Yuto's practising with his team. You and Hui had finished 4 songs already, one month ahead of your professors guide. You were beginning to compose your fifth, looking through the concept notes you had both talked about. You hear a cheer come from the field and look down to see one of Yuto's team mates running after the baseball, looking at the base plate to see Yuto holding a bat. You smile to yourself, proud of your best friend. Looking back down to your laptop, you listen through what you have so far. Your eyebrows furrow, and you can't tell if you like it or not. You end up texting Hui the file -

"Hey, I can't tell if I like this, what do u think"

"where are u? I'll come work on it w u"

"bball field"

"coming loser xo"

You feel your heart flutter, and lightly slap your cheeks, as if you were telling yourself off. You clear your throat as you continue trying to work on the song.

After about 15 minutes, while you were engrossed in working, your headphones get pushed off your head once again, telling you Hui was here.

"Hey, loser." You both say in unison, your tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Aww, do I say that too much?" He teases, sitting down next to you. You unplug you headphones, shoving them in your bag.

"Yes. Yes, you fucking do." You sigh out, shoving your laptop onto his thighs. You rest your head on your hand and watch the baseball practise as Hui listens to what you've worked on.

"Can I change some stuff?" He asks, and you just wave him off with a "yeah, whatever". You see him looking at you from the corner of your eye, as he pushes your laptop screen down a bit.

"Y/N, what's going on?" you look over at him, and he genuinely looks upset.

"Hm? Nothing, just frustrated, with the song." You mumble, looking back towards your friend on the field. Hui looks down at your laptop, then back at you.

"You really hate doing this with me, don't you.." He almost whispers, and you can't tell if he was actually asking you, so you don't answer. He stays quiet, working on your laptop while you watch Yuto.

"How's your high school band friends?" You ask, growing more uncomfortable in the silence.

"Oh? They're good, you remember them?" He asks, surprised.

"How could I forget the video that showed me up for that assignment last year?" You laugh half-heartedly, twiddling your thumbs. The typing stops.

"Hey~ I didn't do that.." He whines, looking at you again. You face him too.

"Course you did, you have done for every assignment, because for some reason you despise me being just as good at this course as you." You say bluntly. His lips ever so faintly curl into a smile.

"Did my stupid face and stupid smile and stupid laugh and stupid everything make you think I hate you?" He smirks, looking back down at the laptop to avoid your eyes. Your eyebrows furrow, not clocking on to what he meant.

Until you remember.

"How, how did you?"

"I heard it all on the microphone feed that day we were recording the first song."

"But I wasn't pressing... the button..." your eyes drift down to the field.

You motherfucker, Yuto.

Hui gives you your laptop back, pressing play for you to listen through what he had changed.

As the song finishes playing, Hui tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. Your cheeks flush red straight away. You glance over to him and he's looking out at the field.

"Just because we're rivals, Y/N, doesn't mean I don't like you. You challenge me the way no one else can. I actually, really do like you," he rubs the back of his neck, "hearing you tell Yuto about your feelings made me realise I have been harsher on you than I meant." He admits, leaning back on the stalls.

You're frozen, stunned. Did he? Just confess to you? No, no surely not. No way.

You feel a hand hold your chin, and turn you to face him. Your faces are inches apart.

"Stop overthinking, Y/N. I like you, okay?" He smiles, looking down at your lips. You're breathing shakily, and you nod ever so slightly. He sighs in relief and places his lips on yours. His hands hold your cheeks gently, as if he's worried anything could hurt you. It's short, it's sweet. He pulls away, pushing another strand of hair out of your face.

"Hey, here's an idea. When we graduate, lets produce songs together, for real." He suggests, smiling brightly. You return said smile.

"I'd like that. Let's finish this very important assignment before we go planning stuff like that, huh?"

"Whatever, loser." He teases, pushing your shoulder gently. You laugh softly.

After a year of working hard, you both get given an A+ for your album you both decided to title "Losers", a special set at your university's showcase,

and a beautiful, loving relationship.

Could you write for Doc x female reader?

Outsiders, reader, the cat and B12 went to a lake in outside after the roof open.Doc and reader having a fishing competition, Doc had caught various of objects except fish.Reader picked many flowers as a gift for Doc to appease him, and everything happened was seen by B12 who also did not catch any fish.

—------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your request! I'm excited to write this one!

I wrote reader as a human, I hope I didn't misinterpret that-

I'm also unsure if you meant it was from b12s perspective or not, but due to that being a little limiting, I did it from the reader's perspective, so I'm sorry if that's an issue!

I've also never gone fishing before, so I'm sorry if I get anything wrong!

Reader is originally female, though it's not mentioned, so feel free to read this from any other gender perspective!

Could be read as both platonic or romantic.

If I get any details wrong, feel free to send another request and I can retype this if needed!

Warning: none?

—------------------------------------------------

Doc let out an annoyed sigh, as he reeled in yet another piece of junk.

Me, Doc, and the other outsiders came out to a lake, and ended up setting up a small camp nearby. We also ran into our little friends B/12 and his cat companion.

Me and Doc decided to have a fishing contest, as it used to be one of my favorite things to do. But so far, I haven't caught anything, and Doc kept reeling in trash, weeds, and other useless junk.

Each time he pulled out yet another useless item, he seemed to get a little more irritated, but he managed to keep his cool.

I watched as he cast his fishing hook out again, hoping for something better this time.

“I'll be back, I wanna go explore” I said, giving him a small side hug, after setting my fishing rod aside.

“Okay, be careful” he replied, his screen flickering to a simple ‘:)’ for a brief second, before his attention returned to his fishing rod.

“I will, don't worry” I said as I got up.

I started to wander around the lake, taking in the beauty of the surrounding scenery and wildlife. I could hear birds chirping in the distance, the crunching of leaves from the other outsiders who were off doing their own things. And I could smell the sweet fresh air.

As I walked, I stumbled into a small flower-filled patch. It wasn't very big, but it was filled with colors, ranging from red to Violet. I carefully picked one, holding it up to my nose to take in its sweet scent, softly sighing as I knelt down to pick a few more.

After a few minutes I had around a dozen flowers, all different shapes and colors, but all carrying the same soft scent, and pure beauty.

As I turned around, I got a great idea, I started to speed walk back to me and Docs spot next to the lake. As I got closer, I could see Doc pulled in yet another clump of weeds from the water, clearly making him even more upset, as his screen had a ‘>:(’ on display.

“Hey Doc!” I say as I run over, before sitting next to him, and holding out the bouquet.

“Are these for me?” He asked, looking at the clump of colored flowers.

“Yep! I thought they would make you feel a little better about not being able to catch anything other than rubbish!” I say, as he carefully takes them from me, not wanting to crush such delicate and beautiful plants.

“Thank you, it's very appreciated,” he said, looking at each one.

I chuckled, “of course… wanna head back to camp?” I ask softly.

“That sounds nice,” he said with a smile.

“Are you guys leaving?” I jump at B/12s voice. He was floating a few feet away from me and Doc, as the little orange cat comes and nuzzles his head into my hand, which I carefully pet him in return.

“Yep!” I answer, as Doc gets up. I give the little orange cat one last pat, before I get up too

“You wouldn't mind telling the others we went back, would you?” Doc asks B/12, as he puts his fishing rod away.

“Not at all! I'll tell them you guys headed back! Before you go, did you have any luck with the fish?” He asks, as his furry orange companion sits under him.

“Nope, I'm not even sure if there are any fish here.” I reply, as Doc and I finish putting our stuff away.

“There are, our cat friend caught one, but nobody else has so far” he said, looking down at the orange cat for a few seconds.

“Huh, he's a very talented gentleman” I say, also looking at the small furry feline.

“We need to get going, say bye to the others for us!” Doc says, as we start to leave, I wave to the drone and cat, before quickly following behind Doc.

When we got back, Doc had put the flowers I picked for him in a makeshift vase (AKA, a small pot), after I told him it would make them last a bit longer. He thanked me again, saying he might do a bit more study on flowers, and plants as a whole.

--------------------------------------------------

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Hey!!

I am new to the fandom and it’s kind of hard keeping track of every material there is and in which order to consume it, if you don’t mind, can you pls help? 🥲

How many manga episodes are there and where I can read it for free in English? Also how many anime seasons with how many eps each? And where to steam the (again, for free. I am broke sry 😭)

I know this is an extensive ask but I find Wikipedia to be unreliable and feels it’s best to ask a dedicated fan instead. Also I prefer consuming things chronologically and feel like it’s better to ask what is the best way to go about reading/watching

Sorry for the English, it’s my third language and thank you so much if you do end up answering!!!

It’s kind of a lot to ask, so feel free to ignore :)

Hello welcome to the fandom!! And don't worry about your english ever here i am not one to judge ^^

So I already have links compiled to read and watch Black Butler here: Resources You'll find them in the 'Sites for More Content' document on the first page of the drive, and I went through and added a bit more info in that document on how volumes vs chapters work for you and others

As for the storyline itself, I HIGHLY recommend starting with the manga first as it is very consistent and straightforward with the story! Meaning there is no extra info you need to consume to get the full story only fun little extras here and there sometimes, and the manga is considered the actual canon and what you will see most of the fandom referencing and talking about There are currently 31 volumes, 201 chapters and it is still ongoing! Meaning a new chapter releases every month (good to block the kuro spoilers tag if you dont want to see them)

The anime is still fun to watch but it is definitely way more complicated storywise and the reason for that is that the first 2 seasons were made when the manga was still in early chapters so they took notes from the creator of the various storylines and backstories that was planned and kind of created a different storyline with it, so I'll try to give you a concise rundown on what episodes follow the manga and what doesn't

The anime seasons are usually listed as follows: Season 1 - Kuroshitsuji Season 1 OVA - Kuroshitsuji OVA Season 2 - Kuroshitsuji 2 Season 2 OVAs - Kuroshitsuji 2 OVAs/Specials Season 3 - Kuroshitsuji Book of Circus Season 4 - Kuroshitsuji Book of Murder Season 5/Movie - Kuroshitsuji Book of the Atlantic

Season 1 Episodes 1-6: Follows the manga's Red Butler Arc (mostly), chapters 1-13

Season 1 Episodes 7-12: Does not follow manga canon, original anime storylines

Season 1 Episodes 13-15: Follows the manga's Curry Arc (mostly), chapters 15-22

Season 1 Episodes 16-24: Does not follow manga canon, original anime storylines

Season 1 OVA: Does not follow manga canon, original anime storylines

Season 2 episodes 1-12: Does not follow manga canon, all original anime storylines

Season 2 OVAs 1-6: Does not follow manga canon, all orginal anime storylines

Seasons 1 and 2 are considered a separate storyline/alternate universe and will be ignored for all the seasons after it, which is what confuses most people

Season 3 Episodes 1-10: Completely follows manga canon, picks up after the Curry Arc and into the manga's Circus Arc, chapters 24-36

Season 4 OVA's Episodes 1-2: Follows the manga's Murder Mystery Arc, chapters 38-50

Season 5/Movie - Follows the manga's Campania Arc, chapters 51-65

The newest season is expected to follow the manga's Boarding School Arc which is chapters 66-84

I hope that covers everything and is easy to understand, but please feel free to send another ask or a DM if you have any questions! I'm all for helping people understand and get into kuro, it's such a fun storyline and I hope you have a good time with it <3

#free to reblog if anyone else needs this info lol #i know the anime esp can be confusing to understand #black butler #kuroshitsuji #devo speaks

Can you believe I'm sending you a Degrassi ask? I mean, I only send you like 12 a day, so try to contain your shock ;) 1. Choose 3-5 ships that weren't endgame but which you'd make endgame if you could (does Sellie make the cut?!) 2. Choose 3-5 ships that WERE endgame or at least implied endgame that you like the least 3. Pick three characters who you genuinely multiship, ie love two or more of their ships more or less equally (so, for example, I'd probably choose Maya as one of mine because the more I rewatch scenes the more I love zaya and camaya almost equally, just in different ways!) 4. Rank these female protags from your favorite to least favorite: Caitlin, Emma, Clare, Maya and Frankie (poor Frankie--I always forget about her!) 5. Pick just one favorite and LEAST favorite ship for each of these characters: Ashley, Paige, Emma (what is wrong with me that I ended up not liking any of her canon romances much?!), Jimmy, Spinner, Craig and Manny. Enjoy!

LMAO I love you

5 ships that I wanted to be endgame:

1.) Joey/Caitlin (I'm in the minority of fans who actually enjoyed the adult story lines during the early years. Even before I watched the original series. But it's so irritating that the two of them were needlessly broken up for Kevin Smith)

2.) Sean/Ellie (We've talked about this. Their relationship was so sweet and healthy and good for both of them. They deserved a happy ending)

3.) JT/Liberty (Again, they deserved a happy ending. The pregnancy ruined everything. Both JT and Liberty mishandled things and weren't getting proper guidance at the time. But they never fell out of love, and I 100% believe they would have ended up together had JT not died)

4.) Zoe/Grace (This just makes me angry. I'll always be bitter than the writers wouldn't just let them date. I never felt their eventual endgames were ever as genuine as what they shared with each other. I also struggle to buy that Grace liked men, but it is what it is)

5.) Craig/Ashley (Call it wishful thinking because Craig was such a mess, but I think he was always at his best with Ashley and that she was the only love interest he truly loved. I like to imagine that once Ashley finds her own independence and individual success and Craig gets copious amounts of therapy, they'll find each other again. If they haven't already TBH)

5 endgame couples (implied or otherwise) that I don't like:

1.) Eli/Clare (I won't subject you to another rant about them, so I'll just say I disagreed completely with giving those two a happy ending)

2.) Jake/Katie (I'm going to be completely honest. I didn't care about Katie's happiness, and I really liked Jake. It was that simple)

3.) Jonah/Grace (It felt forced to me, and I didn't like how Frankie was painted as being irrational and insecure for no reason only for Jonah to eventually admit he DID emotionally cheat on Frankie with Grace)

4.) Winston/Goldi (They were just kind of there. I don't have any feelings about them one way or another. It just felt tacked on. I feel like Winston needed the relationship more than Goldi did because the Next Class writers gave him so little to do)

5.) Jimmy/Trina (Again, they were just kind of there. We barely got to know her character, and it's odd that they randomly got engaged so quickly)

Three characters that I multiship almost equally:

1.) Drew Torres - Drew/Bianca & Drew/Clare (I wouldn't say exactly equally because I think Bianca complemented Drew better than anyone, but I also loved what Clare brought out in him. I'll always be sad they weren't given the chance to have something more)

2.) Spinner Mason - Spinner/Paige & Spinner/Darcy (I prefer Spinner with Paige, but I'm always torn every time I watch High Fidelity. Both dynamics are good for different reasons. Even though I ultimately think Spinner loved Paige more considering he was on the verge of picking her over Darcy, Darcy also accepted and loved him when he needed it most. She inspired better in him than Paige did. So basically, I'm torn over these two ships that were nowhere close to endgame)

3.) Sean Cameron - Sean/Ellie & Sean/Emma (Again, I have a preference. Sellie or bust. But if we're talking about seasons 1-4, it's closer. Had that triangle had the chance to play out with Sean never moving away, Semma could have been written better and it would have been a closer match for me)

Rank female protagonists in order:

1.) Maya Matlin (Obviously)

2.) Emma Nelson (It's actually super close and based on how I'm feeling today. It could be Clare tomorrow. Or even Caitlin. I just feel like even though I didn't love a lot of Emma's questionable writing in the middle years, she had so much variety in story lines. It's also the early TNG bias. I can't help it)

3.) Clare Edwards (Clare may have been a divisive character, but it's hard to deny she carried seasons 10-14. She was literally around for the entire era of 40+ episodes. She wasn't my personal favorite, but I still really liked her and what she brought to the show. She'd probably be higher if her love life didn't hold her back from experiencing more growth)

4.) Caitlin Ryan (Again, still close. She was great, and had a decent variety of story lines. But some of the TNG years stuff could be hit or miss. Kevin Smith? Jesse? The writers had it out for her for some reason)

5.) Frankie Hollingsworth (Her character was all over the place and mostly overshadowed by more interesting characters. To be honest, I think Frankie was pushed as the main girl because she was white. Not because she suited the role best or was the most interesting. The Hollingsworths got old towards the end)

Fave/least fave romances:

Ashley:

Favorite: Craig/Ashley

Least favorite: Can I choose Ashley/Alistair? If not, Jimmy/Ashley. They were never compatible, and their season 5 reunion wasn't believable or needed.

Paige:

Favorite: Spinner/Paige

Least favorite: Matt/Paige, because fuck her grooming, predatory teacher

Emma:

Favorite: Sean/Emma

Least favorite: Peter/Emma

Jimmy:

Favorite: Jimmy/Hazel, but I also liked his potential with Ellie

Least favorite: Jimmy/Ashley

Spinner:

Favorite: Spinner/Paige

Least favorite: Spinner/Manny

Craig:

Favorite: Craig/Ashley

Least favorite: Craig/Ellie. I don't care if they weren't technically canon. They were the worst.

Manny:

Favorite: Jay/Manny

Least favorite: Mick/Manny, honestly. But other than the two guys no one actually remembers, Spinner/Manny.

How I Found My Publisher

I knew querying was going to be a hot mess for me. I’m an over-planner and over-thinker. I’m the "put 19 different brands of socks in my amazon cart and spend three months agonizing over the different fabrics before realizing they’re just freaking socks for the love of wool and polyester just pick one" type of person.

So when the time came to start putting together my query package, I did what I did best: I overanalyzed. For months. Until finally, on 8/21/2022, after reading an obscene number of reddit posts and tweets about querying and publishing, I took the plunge and sent out my first batch of queries.

As is the case for virtually every first time querier, I thought I was ready.

Reader, I was not ready.

In retrospect, my first batch of queries weren’t my finest work. I received a lot of rejections, and a few manuscript requests...which were followed by more rejections. Authors can receive over 100 rejections before an agent says, "yes." So I was prepared for this.

In fact, one could say I was primed for rejections. I was born in it. Molded by it...

For those who don't know, I'm a doctor. This means I completed 4 years of undergraduate studies, 4 years of medical school, and another 4 years of residency training in my specific field (psychiatry). The process is grueling and can take a huge hit on physicians' mental health and sense of self. So even though the rejections while querying stung, it was...familiar. In some ways, medical training prepared me emotionally for the querying journey.

So thank goodness for that, I guess.

I queried for a year. During that year, I improved my query letter, made some changes to first pages, and made slight revisions to my manuscript as a whole (query stats coming up I promise).

In March, I saw a tweet from Lauren Davila, the acquisitions editor at Inked in Gray. The tweet was just a generic request for more "superhero" manuscripts to hit her inbox. By the time I saw the tweet, it was weeks old and her submissions were closed - so I did nothing. But a few days later, I decided to shoot my shot and slid into her DMs to ask if she was interested in looking at my manuscript, or if she would prefer I wait. She responded quickly, and encouraged me to email my manuscript and query, anyway! So I did.
