I was thinking a bit about character archetypes, and then I got kind of curious:

Has there ever been a sunshine character that requires a lot of work to catch (maybe not as notoriously hard as a grumpy tsundere, but still considerable amounts)? And it not being because they are an obtuse idiot?

I tried thinking about any sort of example, but what comes up is either self-unaware idiots (very often also that clumsy, but apparently oh so adorable bunny moron) who then go through all the stages of being unnervingly blushy maiden, or it gets straight melodrama because they are either also this other sort of self-sabotaging idiot that thinks too much of what's better for others without even asking them (and then with being stupid also make all sorts of weird brainless decisions). Or it turns out the sunshine persona was a ruse to hide a really nasty character, trauma or other such mental baggage.

(The vice versa also seems wildly fascinating right now. Like a sunshine trying really hard and serious at living as a grumpy tsundere? Has there ever been an attempt that was not a very short-lived one played for jokes to showcase the bad liar idiocy of that clumsy sunshine?)

Hmm, well good question and I think SCOY is your answer. One could argue that both Toh & Daisy are proving to be a lot of work for their semes. I'm not sure Toh is entirely sunshine but Daisy certainly is.

One of the whole themes of SCOY is self worth and so that's why the sunshines are struggling to believe the boys like them.

And I think that’s how I’d script it, if it were to form the backbone of a BL. That the sunshine’s hidden darkness and lack of ego makes them work to win over. So the seme has to show said sunshine that he is worthy of love. It’d be a fun narrative through-line to see play out in a full treatment, I have to say. I wish we saw more of this. (I feel like Blueming tried to go there but not as much sunshine as say a character like Joo Gyung in True Beauty, who plays on this idea A LOT.)

The vice versa also seems wildly fascinating right now. Like a sunshine trying really hard and serious at living as a grumpy tsundere?

Now there are a few borderline sunshines, in that they are sweet hearted golden boys who mean well but maybe aren’t quite as sparkly like (Jao in SCOY).

Yi Chen is A LOT of work for Jin Teng to win in a 2nd lifetime (HIStory Obsessed), because the first one went so badly. In this case, it’s like a sunshine became a tsundere but the seme KNEW there was a sunshine hiding underneath all along.

That’s the one I can think of off the top of my head, it’s certainly not obtuseness.

It’s one of the reasons I really like this installment of the HIStory franchise.

Oh maybe Daonuea and Khluen in Star in My Mind right now? Dao is certainly a bit of a sunshine and Khluen is having a hard time... to be fair he’s bringing it on himself.

Has there ever been an attempt that was not a very short-lived one played for jokes to showcase the bad liar idiocy of that clumsy sunshine?

I can’t think of any that aren’t bad guys or in het characters.

I’m having a faint bell ring about some series mocking clumsy bunny at some point in soem Bl or another but mostly I am reminded of this cartoon:

Honestly every time I see the “crash kiss” I think about this.

It seems to me clumsiness as a character trait in BL/romance is just because they want to do a crash kiss/hug or catch at some point in the narrative. It’s like a character trait that exists to serve a trope drop. Which is why it feels so disingenuous.

If it were a genuine character trait then we would see the character actually be clumsy all the time, banging his head, tripping, dropping stuff, even when the seme is NOT around..

Right now in Mr. Unlucky we have many aspects of this being explored. I think it’ll be okay for there to a a crash catch in this one, because of the unlucky theme.

Also we are watching Kouta fall in love with Naoya, because Naoya is so happy (and so sunshine) when they are together because his bad luck is getting cancelled out. So he’s like being a sunshine tease, but not intentionally. This is setting everyone up for some actually well constructed miscommunication.

WGEBEJWNNAMW- IM SO SORRY I BOTHER YOU SM.....

Anyway if you still want to answer it you, can do it bc I'll be asking it again.

And man....i didn't expect it to be that 'long'

Im so sorry for that, but i wanna tysm too for it.You put so much efforts in it and it just make me feel really bad :,)

Again TYSMMM AND SORRYYY!! :,D

...

wait...

''Sorry'' ?

Are you apologizing!?? Retract that statement inmediately!! >:^

You don't have to be sorry about anything, I'm the clumsy one who deleted the ask, it's my fault this happened ;w;

And yeah, the answer is getting pretty long tbh, but that's because I'm enjoying writting it! So it's not a bother at all, haha ^^

Anyway, just expect the answer sooner or later since I still need to rewrite and reorganize some ideas to clearly expose what I want to say abt topic. I just liked your question very much, hehe. It gave me a lot of space for theorizing abt one of my favorite characters in SABA, so thank u for that 🙃.

Thanks for asking it again! °.•♡

#u seem cool #i like u #anon #ask #clumsyness exposure #:'P

Plot: you being the best girlfriend ^^

Warnings: None

Pairing: OT13 x Reader

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

AN: I’m so glad I finally came up with an idea I was about to be gone for like ten days😭😭

———————————————————————

Seungcheol: Kissing his dimples. It just became an habit one day, one day you were laying down together you told him to smile and kissed his dimple. So now when he smiles he expects an kiss on his cheek it gets him all shy and giggly it’s so cute

Jeonghan: Teasing him back. It makes him freeze up and stand/sit there in shock with his mouth half open. Tries to tease you again only for you to make another comeback. Turns away so you can’t see his cheeks turn pink only for you to plant an kiss on them

Joshua: Being an gentleman/women to him. like you would tell him to stay in the car and run to the other side and open the door for him. He would be caught off guard but laughs it off as if you don’t notice the heat rising to his cheeks smiling to yourself

Jun: Letting him ramble. Like he will be so focused on his topic then he starts paying attention to you. Seeing how your eyes lightly lit up looking like you have small stars on your eyes, and that soft smile he loves on your face. He then apologize for talking to much but you reassure him that it’s okay he gets all giggle and buries his head in your neck getting shy

Hoshi: Being apart of his Horanghae gang. Like you were apart of it when y’all first started dating you had no choice. But just knowing you accept his for his tiger-I’m sorry my mind was in a goofy mood

Buying him tiger print things. Knowing how much he love tigers you need to buy him tiger related things. It gets him all warm and cozy and any positive thing you can think of inside

Wonwoo: Reading with him. It brings him so much comfort and being with you in comfortable silence makes him warm inside. He loves the feel of being with you at those type of moments any moment’s really but those moments and very special to him

Woozi: Being in his studio with him. It gives him so much more motivation and puts him to harder work. He also loves when you tell him things like he’s doing great or the beat hi made so sound awesome and amazing and that good stuff. Your what keeps him going

DK: Being weird and silly with him. He loves that you don’t think of him differently when he starts randomly doing the most outrageous things instead you join him. He loves when you start doing silly stuff out of nowhere it makes him pull you close to him and just give you as many kisses he desires while giggling

Minghao: Complimenting his paintings. It gives him a little confidence boost. He asks if you won’t to learn how to paint some day and when that day came it didn’t go so well but hey…at least you tried. Giving you a long passionate kiss and thanking you for the compliment OMG I LOVE THIS MAN BRO

Mingyu: Not getting mad at him for his clumsyness. He has officially earned the nickname ‘clumsy’ from you(like the guy from Smurfs) not just because he’s clumsy but you find it cute. But he break something that he know would make you mad, would you tell right away but you can’t get mad not with how his eyes are starting to look like puddles of rain so you just kiss his nose and hug him and tell him it’s ok

Seungkwan: Gossiping with him. Like when you comeback from work you already you both have some boiling hot tea that’s ready to spill. Sometimes set up snacks and drinks because of how long it takes for you both to be done. Sometimes fall asleep talking without realizing you guys might talk in your sleep

Vernon: You randomly saying anything. Like you can be like “what if the sun just exploded right now” he would be like “we die” because he’s just so used you blurting anything out is the most randomness times. Sometimes it catches him very off guard he can’t think so you have to tap him a few times to make him come back to earth

Dino: letting him hold you in his arms. It makes him feel like he’s protecting you from anything out there even just thin air. He holds you so tight like he’s afraid if he let go you’ll just turn into dust and get blown away but the cool breeze. Loves to hold to hold you when y’all first wake up gives you little forehead kiss as time goes by

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

AN: THANK YOU GUY FOR ALL THE LIKES ON MY MINGYU POST ILYYYYYSM😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰

Dark! Aemond x reader

Warnings: Jealousy, possessiveness, NSFW.

Y/N and Aemond had been married for a few years when the war broke out. Aemond was always protective of her, he saw how the other lords looked at her, he saw how Aegon looked at her, her bossom, the curve of her waist, her hips. He would squeeze her waist next to him, tighter, even leaving bruises on her ribs. Y/N didn't mind, she loved Aemond and assure him every time she got the chance.

But when Greens vs Blacks broke out, that meant Aemond going away with Vhagar every once in a while.

Y/N got herself ready for bed, and due to clumsyness hit her thigh with the corner of the bed. She tried to keep herself awake, waiting for her husband, but sleep got the best of her.

With the moon at its peak, she felt Aemond lay next to her. His chest pressed to her back. Love, I've missed you so. Y/N could feel him growing for her and eased into his touch, she had missed her husband terribly, her touch alone would never come close to the release Aemond could bring her. He traced her leg, started pulling up her nightgown and then he saw the fresh bruise on her thigh.

Aemond surrounded her ribs with his arm, right below her breast, and put his other hand on her neck, squeezing. Who did this love?, Who marked you like this?. Y/N could barely breathe. No-one, Aemond. Only you, just you. I love... you. Y/N declared with her breath scaping her lungs. Aemond soften his hand on her neck and turned her to look into his eye.

Don't lie to me Y/N, he said with a hint of coldness. Y/N pressed her hand to his face and removed his eye-patch softly. No-one, just you Aemond.

Aemond kissed her, deeply, biting her lower lip and leaving bruises. He would make sure to mark her, every part of her. He moved to her neck, her breast and her ribs, kissing her, biting her softly, leaving bruises on her skin. Her moans enticing him. She pulled his hair and moaned his name. He would leave no place unkissed. Her moans would be heard throughout the entire Red Keep. And by the morrow, everyone should be reminded that she was his and only his.

Cindy Lou who

I know it’s past Christmas but life got in the way of me editing this fic so pretend it’s Christmas Day still okay? Sorry 🩵❄️🎅 merry Christmas and happy holidays! I’ll see you in the new year!

Warnings:angst, kissing, Bucky and reader are idiots this fic is safe for work but I’m putting this ⬇️ here because my blog is strictly no minors! 🔞

“Wow plum look at you go!” Bucky laughed as you almost hit a rail skating too fast to come to an easy stop.

Just as you got your balance back and stopped laughing at your clumsyness you looked up to see Bucky on his phone again. Lately, for the past two months, bucky has been possessive of his phone and always on it. Smiling at it too. It made you uneasy, Bucky had had plenty of girlfriends in the past but he was always present when hanging out with you. You had lightly asked him last week if he was seeing anyone, he didn't hear you the first time because he was on his phone.

“W-whatcha’ you say plum?”

“I asked if you were seeing anyone, you’re constantly on your phone” you repeated

“No, what? no! why would you think that? You’re my best friend you know i wouldn't hide anything like that from you” james spoke nonchalantly, he patted your head like a child right before he went back to smiling at his phone and texting.

It worried you. This year after ice skating you and him were gonna go get dinner (this usually isn’t a part of your tradition) you wanted to admit your feelings for him tonight but his recent behavior had you second guessing, for one he was always on his phone texting and he sure as hell doesn't look like a giddy school girl from texting sam or steve, and secondly when you asked him if he wanted to go to dinner afterward he was suspiciously happy. He said that it was great that you asked actually because he could “kill two birds with one stone” When you asked him what he meant he brushed you off and now he’s saying he has a surprise.

You had a feeling that he was seeing a girl and you hoped and prayed that you were wrong but the way he was acting proved you right, but you tried to take his word for it because he was Bucky your best friend and he would never lie to you. Right?

Wrong. As you walked into the small restaurant bucky’s smile grew 10 times wider, he waved to a blonde girl sitting at a four-person table. He walked over to her you followed a desperate feeling coming over you where you wished this wasn't what you thought it was. ‘No not tonight! the night I was going to confess my undying love for you no. bucky why?! Why do you have to be a stupid man?’ you thought.

She stood out of her seat he put his hand on her lower waist, lower than a friend would. She pecked his lips. You noticed everything he did or didn't do, you watched as your personal hell ripped itself into the small restaurant.

“y/n this is Polly, my girlfriend,” Bucky said him and her still standing in front of you. You wanted to cry and run away, she was perfect the opposite of everything that made you. You stared in shock.

“Uh um, h-hi im y/n” you swallowed thickly after speaking. You hated yourself you should have listened to your gut.

Bucky looked at you confused, he didn't expect your reaction to be so flat. He thought you would be so happy but now you looked pale and uncomfortable.

“It's too nice to meet you y/n I've heard so much about you” Oh god she was nice too!

The three of you sat, you wanted to puke.

“I thought you weren't seeing anyone bucky?” you asked shakily

“Well, bucky and I wanted to keep it a secret. We just wanted to live in our little bubble for longer ya know” she answered for him

“How long have you two been together?” you asked, anger creeping in towards yourself and Bucky. Yourself forever thinking Bucky could love and him for lying.

“Two and a half months” she answered again. you abruptly pushed your chair out from under the table you hadn't even taken off your coat but you felt cold like you were dying in the North Pole. You grabbed your coat in a haste. Bucky's confused eyes follow you.

“Hey! Hey y/n what are you doing?” he asked as you walked towards the exit you didn't respond. You felt humiliated and heartbroken. ‘God the man I've loved like a fool for seven years! How could I be so stupid!’ you though to yourself

“y/n get back here! Whats wrong with you?!” Bucky yelled after you while he tried to catch up with you as you walked down the street. Finally, he did, he grabbed your arm yanking you around to face him.

“What the hells matter with you?!” he said angry now too.

“I have to leave! I-i cant be friends with you anymore!” you screamed

Bucky's face dropped “Wh-what why?” he said confused and sad.

“B-because I-I just can’t okay!”

“Bullshit tell me. Now!” he demanded

“I-I’m in love with you okay!?”

“What!”

“I invited you to dinner tonight because i wanted to confess my feeling an- it doesn’t matter anymore okay. You have a girlfriend an-and she seems so lovely and im sorry that i made her uncomfortable i-i need to leave.” you said

“How long?” his tone stoic and hard, he wouldn’t let you go

“Since high school b-but i didnt realize what my feelings for you were until this past summer when we went on our trip to the ocean” you whispered ashamed.

“I-i dont know what to say” you broke his hold walking away as fast as you could. Tears finally falling. He didn’t need to say anything because you already knew he didn’t hold the same feelings you did for him.

“Wait wait y/n” you were gone.

December 21st

You got on a flight back home for the holidays usually you would take this flight home with bucky but you couldnt face him. He called and texted you all night, but the pain and embarrassment was to much.

The flight was horrible and your mom picking you up from the airport was spent listening to her cheer on and on about how bucky had a new girlfriend. Your familes were very close.

You wanted to the ground to suck you under itself.

Sitting in your mom’s livling room while your family and buckys talked and laughed was awful. You could feel his sorrowful looks on your skin and thats what really ate you alive. After some point of faking smiles you went up to you old bedroom. It was just like you left it last year and before you left to explore the world with bucky. The laughs you and him had in your old room made you tear up. When you used to get sad or when his parents fought he would climb in your window in the middle of the night. You two would watch movies, cuddle one another whichever one of you who needed the comfort. Just two kids trying to find peace in the world they share with everyone but also their own. the two of you cheering eachother up. As you looked back you scoffed towards yourself for being so stupid because how could you not tell you were selfishly in love him? Holding him while he cried or when he was angry, cuddling while watching movies or playing bored games in secret so your parents wouldn’t find out. The shorting pain in your chest when he would introduce you to one of his new girlfriends was not normal friend behavior.

Then tears fell as you sat on your bed holding a pillow to your chest. You hated that you ruined your friendship, you hated yourself for thinking bucky, the play boy who got women who looked like models could ever love you back. You beat yourself up for not shutting up and sitting through that stupid dinner and at least being ale to keep him in some way even if its just as a friend it would be better than nothing.

Just as yout thoughts of self hatred were stacking up bucky walked in.

“What are you doing in here?” you asked trying to swipe you tears away before he could see them

He sat at the foot of your bed looking at you. “Hey hey, plum,” he reached forward bringing your hands into his “you never have to hide from me”

“I-im so so sorry bucky. You must hate me” you cried

“How could i hate the girl im in love with?” he brought his hand to cup your wet cheek lifting up your face so your eyes could meet his.

“ no no” you shook your head refusing to believe him.

“Ive been hiding my feelings for a lot longer then you plum” he chuckled sadly. “i ruined the dinner you planned it was stupid of me to surprise you with me having a girlfriend. Every girl ive ever been with as always been me trying to distract myself from not being able to be with you. I thought i wouldnt have a chance with you in a million years, i thought having you as a friend was all i was going to get and thats better then not having you at all so i never told you and last night was was the best night and the worst night of my life because i found out that you loved me and i hurt you. Last night i broke up with polly. I only want you plum, i love you too”

You pulled bucky into a kiss, it was soft, new, it held every word the two of you have ever wanted to say to each other but thought you couldnt. It was love.

“I love you bucky”

“I love you too plum” bucky smiled pulling you back into a kiss.

Teyvat's God

Creator!Reader x Genshin Impact

Summary: The creator descends down to Teyvat once again. Will there be chaos or peace?

-> Sagau AU

-> Wordcount: 0.76k~

-> Cw: Swearing

Masterlist

Request Page

A long, long time ago, there was a god. The creator, to be exact. Oldest being to ever exist. Much older than even Celestia.

Said creator did what they did best. Create. And so originated Teyvat and everything within. Not many have had the honor of seeing the creator, since they were very, very tired after using so much power and energy, they fell asleep and left Celestia in their power.

And time went on and on and on. Creations were still intact. Celestia made sure the world knew about you, their creator. Statues were built, as well as temples. Offerings were given to you each day and people prayed to you each passing second.

At first, humans only prayed to you and only you. They saw you as their saviour, their hero. But faith can crumble, and it did.

You were gone for more than 5 thousand years, not even leaving a message every now and then to ensure you are still there, listening to their prayers and their problems.

Now they pray to other gods. Mostly Archons. They were here, they listened and protected their own people, unlike you.

Where were you?

Noone knew, not even Celestia.

But oh dear, when you showed up, chaos was brought upon Teyvat.

You crunshed your eyebrows. The light was blending you to much for your comfort.

Wait.

Light was blending you! Is that the sun?

You suddenly opened your eyes. Not believing what you saw. You were finally here! After so many years you got your well-deserved rest and created a body to descend down to Teyvat once again.

How you have missed feeling the soft grass under your feet, the wind breezing towards you, the cold water leaving shivers on your body and the sun warming you up.

You sigh, closed your eyes and relaxed. It's been so, so long. Sure noone's gonna miss you for a few additional hours.

Walking around Teyvat has been so fun! So many new things to explore, new animal species you were sure you didn't create. Such as... cats...? You couldn't remember the name, but it didn't matter to you! Your were finally happy. They made you happy!

And wait until you find civilization!

It was fun, really fun. You were astonished by these structures these so called humans build. Back in the old days they were called mortals. Blinded by the beauty of Mondstadt, as they called it, you didn't seem to notice the person in front of you.

So you walked right into them. Not fully used to your new body, you fell. You squeezed your eyes shut, preparing for the pain... that never came? Could you even experience pain?

You felt soft, cold hands around your wrist. Your eyes slowly opened. Right in front of you was quite the handsome man. Short blue hair covering his black eyepatch. A blue top with white sleeves covering his arms. You can't help but notice a blue glowing ball hanging at his hips. What's that? Before you could even apologize for your clumsyness, he spoke first.

"My, my. What do we have here?" His voice was deep, yet soft. His accent wasn't something you were used to.

Do people still speak the original language? Or do they only know English?

"I'm sorry, sir. I must have been blended by the beauty of this city." You smiled at him. Your voice traced with grace. It wouldn't surprise him if you were hidden royalty.

For a moment he couldn't process what you said. You raidiated grace, importance and power. Not even speaking of your breathtaking beauty. Those eyes, sparkling at every new thing you encountered (which was like everything). Your lips, forming a smile at each passing citizen.

"No worries, I take it you're new to Mondstadt?" He smoothly responded, hiding the fact of his flusterness.

Your eyes lit up. He sweared it was the most beautiful he's ever seen.

"Yes, I certainly am! The architecture is so different compared to the other cities I've visited." Other might say you lied, never seeing other lands such as Liyue. Others might deny it saying you saw cities from 5 thousend years ago and other just don't give a fuck.

"You don't mind me giving you a tour, right? And I'm Kaeya by the way." Kaeya. What a fascinating name. One you've never heard of.

"Kaeya. What a beautiful name. Of course, I don't mind a tour! I'm [Name]. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Part 2 (coming soon)

I remembered seeing an old post that comparing Marinette and Chloe and how they have similar behavior. I forgot the detail but the more season I watch, the more it clicked.

They both don't think of problem as "how it affect others" it's always "how it affect me", they both think of Adrien as a property, they both also never get a "no" from their parents, now I think again. In Animaestro Marinette insist that she want to help despite her clumsyness and they end up give in with Sabine say "we should make double batch just in case".

And I think that's why Marinette is the way she is : she's good at putting boundaries but bad at respecting other boundaries, she thought if she insist enough they'll give in (and she's not wrong, almost everyone in the show end up give in to her demand/request, event Su Han) Her parents spoiled her in different way than Andre does to Chloe but in the end, they're spoiled and never/rarely get a "no" from their parents, they let them do what they want.

I wish I could say the difference between them is that Marinette has higher moral ground than Chloe but after s5 I don't know if that's valid.

Reding back now I feel bad for Adrien because those who pursue him think of him more as a property than actual person with feelings, except Kagami.

I think that's uncharitable to Marinette. She does have trouble understanding others, but it's often when she's trying to help and she always means well, it's just that she isn't good at considering others' perspectives. Chloe on the other hand doesn't care about the people she torments (I don't include Andre in this list for obvious reasons). The one exception to this is probably Sabrina, whom she likes but treats poorly regardless.

And I don't agree with the comparison between Andre and Tom and Sabine. Tom and Sabine are good parents. I don't think them agreeing to let Marinette help them is a bad thing, in fact it's good that they are allowing her such opportunities. She didn't browbeat them into anything or ask for anything that was unreasonable. Marinette's parents don't spoil her, they give her responsibilities (Timebreaker), and they do take her to task when they have to, (Simon Says). We see less of that in the future seasons, but we don't see much of her parents in general, so.

I also disagree that they think of Adrien as property. Both Marinette and Chloe think Adrien is perfect, as does almost everyone else, but they also genuinely care about him. Marinette tries to help Adrien many times throughout the show (The Collector, the New York Special, etc.) and Chloe also cares about Adrien as a person (Felix). Marinette is bad at recognizing Adrien's feelings and sometimes her crush on him overtakes that care for him (Glaciator 2), but she does care.

They can both be self-centered and can think of themselves, yes. But their reasons are entirely different. Chloe thinks about herself because she doesn't care about whether she hurts someone or not, because she considers herself better than them and derives joy from hurting them. Marinette is self-centered because she can be very anxious about things, and this can cause her to get stuck in her own head and forget to think of others. It's something she needs to work on, but she's also shown that she does try to work on it. Of course, Chloe isn't evil or anything and most of her worldview is derived from her abusive mother and her enabling father, but still.

But I will mention this:

I wish I could say the difference between them is that Marinette has higher moral ground than Chloe but after s5 I don't know if that's valid.

I do sort of agree. I harp on and on about the protagonist-centered morality that began pervading this show in Season 4, and that is once again the problem here. Marinette is not as bad as Chloe thanks to her intentions being pure and because of her willingness to grow and change, but the narrative started to justify her actions, which started getting worse. I think she can't be compared to Chloe, because the mistakes they make are different and stem from different situations and reasons, but my point that Marinette is never portrayed as being in the wrong still stands. She's the most amazing person in the world, and everyone must apologize to her.

Marinette is not a bully. She's not cruel and she's not arrogant. She's not like Chloe. But there's not just one type of mistake in the world, and Marinette is making an entirely different kind of egregious mistake by doubling down on her lying and covering for Gabriel, all after she spent a while deceiving her partner. She hasn't grown as a person, she hasn't learnt to consider other people and listen to them, she hasn't learnt not to deceive them (which is especially bad since that was the whole point of the conflict last season), she's doubled down on her flaws and her mistakes and she's gaslighting her boyfriend into loving his abuser. And the show portrays her as in the right.

(And not to be nitpicky here but I think the Season 5 finale dashed the idea that Kagami respects Adrien as a person, because she also seems to be on board with the lying and the gaslighting, so.)

I think it's not fair to compare Marinette to Chloe, but as of the Season 5 finale, she's awful in a completely different way. And honestly, I wish I could chalk it up to it being OOC for her, but it's not. She's poorly written as in she doesn't develop and is always justified, but honestly, it's not out of character for her, and so I can't even wave it away like that in my head. And she angers me more than Chloe does, because like, at least Chloe gets called out. But yeah, that's what I think.

Thank you for your ask!

Remember that post about using hedge as a prefix?

it's been on my mind for a while now and i just had to put my thoughts somewhere, to organize them and such. So here is my mind laid bare, let's hope i can force some logic into this.

The basic premise was from the word hedgehog (and also hedge-wizard, though i'm not sure) and how that prefix, hedge, could be used with other words.

now, hedge, on it's own, just means a fence made of plants. basically. not much useful stuff there, though maybe i'll get back to it later.

now onto the words that kicked this off.

hedgehos is, simply, hedge and hog. let's disregard hedge's old meaning and construct a new one that only applies to the prefic. for that, we have to look at what hog is.

a hog, is a synonim for boar or pig. So a big powerful (but clumsy*) creature with a tough hide (hard to damage) *clumsy as in can't control itself much once it begins charging

A hedgehog, on the other hand, is a small beastie. but at the same time i wouldnt say the change of size improved its clumsyness in any way, so still cumsy. but, and this is most important, it doesnt have a tough hide. no, instead it has a thorny pelt. spikes. so a hedgehog is a smaller, weaker, less tough version of a hog that has much greater retaliatory power.

okay, the definition of hedge it beginning to take shape.

now hedge-wizard.

a wizard is, obviosly, a time of spellcaster. what kind depends somewhat on the setting/person, but in general it's someone who studied the arcane for many years (usually holed up in a wizard tower) and acquired immense cosmic power. a wizard may be a bit squishy when it comes to physical might, but they pretty much constantly have some kind of spell running to mitigate this.

but a hedgewizard? well, a hedgewizard didn't have the resources or time to leisurely study for many years. they're usually self-taught from bits and pieces they can piece together about magic. they have only scraps of knowledge of magic compared to a wizard. this forces them to improvise, extrapolate spells from the little they have. and this often leads to more, but less powerful spells. but more importantly, it also leads to having spells for every situation. and also, since hedgewizards often also don't have a wizard tower or a place to stay, they often times have to become wanderers, survivalists, travelers. so their spells also focus on that. So, a hedge wizard is a less powerful but more versatile yet specialized wizard. and since they have so many spells they usually figure out at least a combo or two that is really powerful even if it leaves them hurt too. this they usually use as a last resort when attacked.

You see where this i going yet?

Basically, hedhe- , as a prefix, means a less powerful version of something whose main power is retaliation.

Let's try to apply that to something else. One example i remember from the original post was the concept of a hedge-knight.

Since a knight is someone who is big and strong, wears heavy, protective, full-plate metal armour and carrier some kind of big weapon like a broadsword or a greataxe, a hedge knight would be of a smaller build, carry a smaller weapon (if one at all)(like daggers, or a rapier). However i can't quite decide on the armour. my original idea was just a lighter, less protective one, which would make a hedgeknight basically a version of a rogue. the other idea is to directly borrow from the hog->hedgehog situaton and have a hedgeknight wear some kind of spiky mettalic armout. like the kind you see in videogames where it's called thorn armor or something like that.

next up, hedgeking. but since this is getting kind of long and im getting tired of writing this, i'll shorten it.

a king doesnt have any personal power and is more characterized by what they rule over. a king rules over vast swathes of land and has a strong army and etc. So, naturally, a hedgeking must rule over a much smaller area, not have much immediate power, but once attacked/disrespected have an extremely powerful retaliation.

hmm, that sounds kind of familiar... oh, i know. it the f-ing fey! or fay/faerie/fairy/however you spell it. A hedgeking is a fey, which makes even more sense since fairies are often also connected to nature... such as hedges.

anyway, at this point it got too much to all keep in my head and i got exhausted from thinkning of hedgecreatures.

reblog with some of your ideas or whatever

thanks for coming to my ted talk, thank for your attention, so on and so on

dabihawks witchcraft au, late Halloween treat for you lot ♥️

Keigo is a novice witch, but he has no idea just how powerful he is, has no idea what he can do, who he decends from.

How could he?

He knows nearly nothing about his parents, how his roots on his mothers side goes all the way back to the kitsunes of aincent times.

It’s not until he sits on the blood stained ground with blue fire raging around him, with the shell of the most imporant person in his arms that something truly snaps inside him.

He feels as much as he sees Touya’s soul slip away from his body, and he knows deeply within his soul that this is wrong, this is not the plan.

Something has to give.

He makes sure the body is safe when he works, and he spends close to three nights and days researching, but he finally finds what he’s looking for.

The details of the ritual is not important to the story, nor are they something Keigo wants ro remember, but for Touya he’d to them again in a heartbreat.

The wait is excruciating, but when familiar clear blue eyes opens slowly and blinks up ay him with confusion clouding them greatly, it’s all worth it within a second.

Touya’s body is not what it was.

It is burned, and parts of it had to be put back together, and Keigo is no surgeon, but he did his best.

The important thing is, after all, that while Touya is dazed and confused, he no longer feels any physical pain.

It’s obvious that his soul is still there, but it’s also obvious that something is off.

The once graceful way Touya moved has been taken over with a clumsyness that frustrates him greatly.

His once soft snow white hair has turned rough and harsh, and Keigo had to staple some of the scarred skin of his body to the healthy ones to keep him in one piece.

But things are not all bad.

The way Touya’s whole being lights up from the inside out whenever he sees Keigo, the way he wraps his cold but strong arms tightly around Keigo every night, even though Touya himself doesn’t sleep he gets to watch his lover sleep safly and peacefully trough night.

Their main problem is Touya’s lack of control when it comes to Keigo.

It can be thrilling, like when they’re entangled in each other in passion and love, life itself, and Touya can’t help but touch, taste, smell, hear and feel everything Keigo has to offer, feeling as alive as he can ever remember feeling.

But sometimes it’s lack of control, it’s the anxiety and dissconnect he feels on the longest nights.

Somehow, even in those times, Keigo finds a way to light Touya up from the inside.

He’ll look him in the eyes with patience and understanding, he’ll hold his face as if it’s the most precious porcelain, and he’ll kiss his lips with such a lifeforce behind it, it trickles into Touya’s very being with every touch of their lips.

Keigo may never tell Touya what horrors he had to perform to bring him back to him, and Touya will never ask.

They are both way too content to live in their own limbo, their own version of life, to let anything cloud their existence and happiness as it is.

They are eternal.
