congrats on 100 followers!!! your event is awesome!! could i request ‘viidoo’ and ‘peyira’?

Greetings Traveler! I appreciate your excitement!!

The Viidoo stars have spoken and have decided that your soul was resonated the most with… The Inheritance Games! You’ll find yourself solving mysteries alongside Avery Kylie Grambs, and definitely play an essential role in the group.

The Peyira stars have seen your essence as a whole, and have decided your name is…

Raen!

[paix-trop-moignon]

So guys guess what? I am just DONE--you hear me--DONE WITH KAELAT! It is not my OTP anymore so say hello to my new Kaeloo OTP that is worthy for my man, Mr. Cat!

Mr. Cat x Soda Can!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10000, definitive ship.

So I made this poster of my new super epic multi-chapter romance fanfiction to honor my new favorite ship, Thirsty For Love. It's a story that's soda-lightful, you'll be q u e n c h i n g for more!!!!!!!!!!!

I unfortunately made a mistake about the release date, so it'll drop sometime by the end of April...or maybe the summer...or next year? Maybe, I dunno, I'll figure it out!

.

.

.

(Nah but for real, April Fools in case you didn't realize lmao. I really had a lot of fun with this poster, btw, especially when it came to the facial expressions. If I do get to my real multi-chapter fic, I might do a poster on it, but we'll see.)

𝑯𝒂𝒊𝒌𝒚𝒖𝒖 𝒙 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

↳ ☆ pt.1 ☆ pt.2 ☆ … ☆

❥ Genre: Fluff

❥ Synopsis: Just some sweet, little random “x reader” headcanons, featuring multiple precious babies…romantic intentions, but some can be platonic!

❥ Published: April 20, 2023

❥ Kae's Notes: I love seeing and making random character(s) x reader headcanons, cause you never know what you’re gonna get!! If you have a specific character(s) you would like to see, feel free to comment them, or submit a character to my submission and and I’ll to a good handful of just them. Please, I need requests- GN!Reader. See my navi for more

WHILE CUDDLING or just anywhere, Kuroo will rub up and down you arm (if it’s okay) to comfort you, but it truthfully relaxes himself as well.

SUNA WILL text you “good morning pretty” then proceed to immediately send you a weird photo of yourself following the sweet message. Very bitter sweet, but he still finds you lovely.

YOU THINK YOU STEAL ALL OF HUS HOODIES No-no, Bokuto insists that you have all of them…until he gets cold, then he’ll give you puppy-dog eyes for one back. But one he’s done using it, he’ll immediately give it right back.

TENDŌ HAS A HABIT of using your head as his personal arm rest. Honestly, you are just his personal resting post in general.

THE HIGHLIGHT of Yamaguchi’s day is when you either trace or kiss his freckles. It makes him all blushy, but it gives him the biggest confidence boost in the world.

YOU AND Tanaka/Noya/Kogane/Atsumu (depending on who you like) have this weird handshake no one else can comprehend, and it ends with you two sharing a quick peck

KENMA LOVES YOU more than his games. There, I said it. That doesn’t mean he won’t stop playing them, as it takes him away from reality, but will for a brief moment if you ask nicely.

SEMI HAS A TRADITION of giving you a kiss on your head every time he sees you. The little things matter to him, and you are a big thing that matters to him.

KYŌTANI KEEPS little trinkets in his gym bag/his room because they remind him of you.

AKAASHI ALWAYS walks on the outside of the road when you guys are walking; just in case cause he worries, and to be a gentleman.

EVERY MORNING right after his coffee, Sugawara will write 3 things he loves about you and slip them into your bag or puts them somewhere where you’ll see.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE TO WALK through mud or a deep puddle, Iwaizumi will pick you up so you don’t get wet/your shoes get dirty

KITA WILL kiss your hand, and sometimes all over your knuckles, every time he sees you. Just to let you know he loves and cares about you dearly.

ANYTIME YOU have something, even a subtle interest in, Kageyama will immediately write it down in his phone/a personal notebook so he remembers it

MIDNIGHT DRIVES WITH ENNOSHITA are absolutely magical. No matter what the time is, or how tired he is, he’ll drive you anywhere you need to go. He gets to spend time with you, and supervise, it’s a win-win!!

FUKUNAGA DOES THAT “they love me; they love me not” thing on daisies and any other flowers he can get his hands on. You have you give him a kiss on the cheek, regardless of what he lands on.

SAKUSA GETS hypnotized every single time he sees you doing something you love. The way your lip curls or how your brows knit together…to him, your face when you are concentrating on something is adorable.

ON TRAMS, Tsukishima will hold you close to his chest so you don’t get bombarded, and so he doesn’t lose you in the crowd of people.

A Certain Ratio - All Comes Down to This - still rolling! New album out April 19

It All Comes Down to This, for now at least, is the sound of the current incarnation of A Certain Ratio. Indeed, in many senses, it is the purest distillation of their essential sound ever committed to tape. Their thirteenth studio album, it is the first time ever they have recorded strictly as the core trio of principle band members – multi-instrumentalists Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson. From the moment the rattling, call-to-arms drumroll intro of opener ‘All Comes Down to This’ gives in to a wall of slithering, watery guitar squawks and bounding, rubbery bass notes, it is obvious that A Certain Ratio have once again been able to tap into a new artery of life. The record’s ten tracks present ten distinct moods, from the urgent, muscular, foreboding groove of ‘Keep It Real’ to the open, breezy, melodic synth of ‘God Knows’, every bursting moment of It All Comes Down to This is defiantly, resiliently alive. The essential difference between It All Comes Down to This and its immediate predecessors is that for this recording process, the band turned to the doyen of contemporary underground rock producers, Dan Carey (Black Midi, Kae Tempest, Black Country New Road).
