What people want, above all, is order.
- Stephen Gardiner (1483 – 1555)

i need to be the princess that knights!kiribaku are charged with guarding and taking care of..
imagine taking them on a little stroll through the castle gardens.. making them flower crowns.. making them steal some honeycomb from the hive on the tree.. sneaking little kisses in the hedge maze..
going to the market in secret.. Eijirou doing most of the talking while Katsuki bullies the vendor into lowering the price..
and yk.. having them outside my bedroom doors (in my bed snuggling me.. keeping their princess warm..) <3
Why am I like... dying at the thought of Kiri being so excited to guard your room at night because it means getting to take his big, heavy armor off early and sleep and get his nut off in your bigass royal bed???
And usually he's back up at 2am trying to get his knighty tighty whities on before trading spots with Bakugo, but since your recent...... developments... with them both, Bakugo's just crowding right into the bed with both of you and getting his sloppy seconds in the morning (and hitting Kiri on his fat head for taking up you and the whole bed).
...I feel like it's a big whole scandal in the castle when your attendant walks in with your hairbrush and outfit for the day and three groggy, naked people with bedhead sit up instead of just one.
(She's scurrying away and immediately telling not only the other maids and guards, but also the king... and Bakugo and Kiri are pulled away to be lectured except you go with them and fight back and then everyone and their mama knows you have two guards wrapped around your finger and it's this WHOLE. damn. THING.)
Or like... trying to canoodle with Bakugo while he's on duty in between his salutes to other guards, and it's so embarrassing because you're a royal, for god's sake! Stop hanging offa him like a barnacle, he doesn't want the general to see!!! But he also can't get enough of it, the feeling that you are his just as much as he is your sworn knight...
And then you do get caught! But thankfully it's only by Kiri who gets all whiney for not being there to be canoodled by you, too, and it's all just. SO CUTE.
(and yes to all the moments when Bakugo harasses a gardener to pick the most perfect rose for him to bring you, or Kiri shows up with bee stings all over his ass and tears in his eyes just so your tea can be perfect for the week, or at the market when you're not royal and guard but regular civilians with no sponserbilities... I am going to CRYYYY)

So, I’ve realized I’ve yet to do one of these, so I am now.
I’m Tesla, Im 13, I’m an ace and lesbian, I go by she/her, and I’m from Keith Kogane’s domain. Yes. Texas. I like to draw from time to time, don’t do digital, (I suck at digital) and I love writing. I’m currently writing a book called the Elemental Storm, more about that later though..
I’m seriously addicted to Voltron: Legendary Defender but I also like MHA/BNHA, SAO, Naruto, ATLA/TLOK, and Pokémon.
I’m also in color guard and I play the oboe (tag yourself if you’re in either one there are so few of us) and I really like the bands Skillet, Fight The Fury, and STARSET, also TFK and No Resolve.
But yea I’m pretty chill, so feel free to post whatever you want and interact with me as you please, but yeah that’s basically it

"I'm pretty sure I can salvage something for our purpose, here."
"You're sure this can work ?"
"It's just like the leather ball, you'll see."
"… well, maybe not that part."
"All right, lemme help you."
"How about this one ?"
"Perfect!"
"Right over the main Gate, let's see if you can do this !"
"Pff. Amateur."
