#i feel like i can do much muuuuch more with this one

・﹒・﹒・ why are ya avoiding me? [1]

Summary: You avoided him at all costs because frankly, he was an asshole, doesn't mean he avoided you though. He constantly flirts with you but you just take it as him trying to anger you. It works, but you start to feel like he's being serious, and you have butterflies in your stomach just thinking about him. However, he finally confronts you one day, and you don't know what to do.

Warnings: 15+, suggestive remarks, pet names

Pairing: Jax x GN!reader

Series: Part 2

Notes: I'm not proud of this writing at all, but I'll keep it as it is for you guys!

It was a normal day at the digital circus, as normal as one day can be in this wacky place. The adventure-of-the-day just finished up and you purposely made it so you weren't close to Jax at all, but he kept slithering into your personal space like you haven't set clear boundaries. You hate him, simple as that, regardless of how many times Ragetha claims that you must have a crush on him. The audacity. Jax is a bitch, asshole, shithead, he was terrible to everyone, who could like someone like that?

Well, despite making your status clear on the relationship between you to, he didn't get the memo- no, no, he just didn't care. At every single chance he got, that bitchass rabbit would flirt with you. It frustrated you to no ends because he obviously was just doing it to get a rise out of you and it was working. Every time you got upset, he would smirk and call you "cute", it set you off even more. Even though his body (and everyone else's including your's) was just a fake, digital avatar, you still found him somewhat attractive.

I mean who could deny that he was cute? His voice didn't do him any favors either, but it didn't get rid of the fact that he was a bitch. Every time you blushed at his flirting (which was shamefully more than what you would have liked), he would get closer and tease you about it. Pomni made it abundantly clear that you two acted like a married couple, which is so far from the truth.

So why did it feel different this time? Zooble was talking to you about how they never liked going on Caine's "adventures" because they were stupid, which is fair considering he only did it just to keep us from going insane from boredom and abstracting, they always felt like something that would be in a game for little kids. You tried to pay attention to her, truly you did, but your gaze kept moving over to Jax as he was conversing with Pomni about something you couldn't hear. You shouldn't be staring at him so much, why were you?

"You gonna tell him?" Her question caught you off guard. Tell who what? You knew exactly what she was talking about, however you chose to play dumb even though it won't work.

"Uh what do you mean?" You ask, head turning to her, feigning innocence as she sighed and rubbed her nonexistent temple, grumbling.

"Don't be dumb Galka, you like him even though you say you hate him. Everyone knows, I mean you look at him like you love him" Love him? As if! Far from it, you hate him.

"But I uh...I don't! He really gets my nerves Zooble! He wants to piss me off because its fun! That's why he flirts so muuuuch!" You whine as you look over to the one in question, but this time he stared back at you. Eyes widening, you quickly turn back to Zooble, however, its too late as he's already saunter over here like he owns the place with his shit eating grin loud and clear on his stupid face.

"Well hello there Galka, looking adorable as always" Immediately, you felt your face warm he flirts with you yet again, refusing to look back at him.

"Leave me alone @@#@$, what part of "don't come near me" is hard to understand?"

"Oh I understand fully. I just wanna know oooone thing" His voice pissed you off, especially when he spoke in that tone, one that reeked of smugness. Yet, butterflies erupted in your stomach as he spoke, his presence made you flustered, why? Out of annoyance most likely, only reason.

"Why are ya avoiding me, Cutie?" There it is, the elephant in the room that you refused to address and that stupidly cliche nickname that you loved from him out of his dumbass mouth.

"I'm not avoiding you, I'm just...coincidentally not around when you are" Shamefully looking down at the floor so he didn't see your face, you knew it was a weak excuse but it was better than accepting fate and saying nothing. That didn't deter him in any way as his feet popped into your field of vision. Shit, he is right in front of you. His arm came into view as his hand sat under your chin, soon lifting it up to meet his gaze, smirk ever present.

"Yeah, sure, likely story. Wanna explain why you look like you're having very dirty thoughts right now? Are they about me?" His statement made you scoff and step back, waving your hands to separate from him. The AUDACITY, again why was everyone claiming you liked him? How could you want to be with this person when he said shit like that?

"Oh please! In your dreams #%#@$head" Turning around, you started to make your way to your room, it was a bit of a walk but you didn't mind it. Plans sometimes were never made to be followed through as Jax appeared yet again in front of you.

"C'mon let me walk you to ya room at least" How did he know you were heading there? God he never fails to ask to be punched in the grion.

"I don't think anything here is going to put me in any danger #%@$ Bunny, leave me alone" You spoke firmly, not wanting any slips to happen, voice strong as you walked with a purpose, pushing past him to the one place that Jax isn't present. Well...physically at least. Ok maybe you did have a feeeeww pictures of the rabbit in there, but it was to remind you how much you hate him, yeah that's it. Nobody else knew because you never let anyone enter and since nobody else had a key, it worked out.

"Oh are you sure sweet thing? Don't worry your secret is safe with me of-" He holds your shoulder to stop you before leaning in close your head "all those pictures you have of me"

Are there plans for the marital status? 👀

It's not all sunshine and rainbows in SophieTony kingdom

Long-ish post incoming:

Of their very few tension points, this one is definitely the worst. Sophie does not want to be married.

It's actually a very emotionally raw place for her to be in. She's very passionate about never entering marriage, because she's never seen a successful one. Her parents' marriage ended in a messy divorce that somewhat traumatised her, and then her dad remarried, and it got even nastier. He, being the bastard he is, held the marriage over his new wife's head, in a "Oh you don't like something? Well deal with it because you're not getting away from me now!" sense. And this entrapment that both her mom and stepmom went through became one of Sophie's biggest subconscious fears. So she doesn't view marriage as a happy union of loving hearts, more like a cage where dreams go to die.

Tony, on the other hand, really wants to be married. He romantisizes it like crazy and can't wait to become a husband to a wife, so after a certain point in their relationship he started dropping "hints". Sophie tried her best to turn them into a joke, like, "ha-ha, I already tie the knot on you every Saturday night, what else do you want from me", then explained about common law and that there's no need to get married to share property or whatever and that he was already in her will (that certainly was a fun conversation), but that's not what Tony wanted in the first place so it all fell on deaf ears (also, Sophie didn't really go into much detail in regards to her family life, so Tony did not make the connection until muuuuch later). Sophie's micro-rejections hurt his feelings but didn't deter him, because he can be quire stubborn at times (always getting what you wanted does that to a person sometimes).

So for quite a while the two of them were stuck in this tug of war, him pushing, her not wanting to budge, tension rising and rising every time. Eventually it all came to an open confrontation, where Sophie finally stopped sugar-coating and dragged him through the mud for pushing her towards something she didn't want. Was he really just interested in the status not the relationship itself? Did he want her to marry him under pressure, knowing she wasn't eager to do it? Would he be happy like this?

Funnily, deep down the both of them knew that if he kept at it, she'd eventually cave, because Sophie loves him and doesn't want to lose him after all, and this would be a sacrifice she'd be willing to make for his sake, but this exact realisation finally got through to Tony and made him understand what a jerk he was being to his favourite person in the world, and that he doesn't want to manipulate or pressure her into anything. So he chose being with her on her terms, because he was already happiest he's ever been with Sophie without a marriage certificate.

Safe to say Sophie got a lot of apologies.

(and they eventually did get married when they were 30-something and Sophie worked through a ton of her own issues with Tony by her side through thick and thin)

Crybaby!Puppy!Eddie whining. My Lord that pup can whine. At first you think it’s because he’s getting used to your home and he came from a shitty shelter. But as the months roll on you start to realize it’s not going to stop. If that boy so much as thinks a sad thought he’s whining all high pitched in his throat until he gets distracted and moves on. He’s cold. Whines. He’s hungry. Whines. He’s unhappy with the weather. Whines. He’s bored. Whines. He remembered one time that someone said something mean to him six years ago. Whines.

He’s just such an emotional pup. He has lots of big feelings and doesn’t know where to put them so they leak out in soft whines. You’re convinced sometimes he doesn’t even know he’s doing it. Like when dogs growl in their sleep except he’s sitting on the couch staring off into space and whining. It makes you wonder what he’s thinking about. But when you touch his arm and ask if he’s alright he’s all bright eyed and thumpy tail.

Idk I just really love the thought of having a physical representation for when he’s feeling some kind of way that isn’t full on bawling. Although there’s plenty of that as well. They don’t call him a crybaby for nothing.

hybrid au faq

—

He’s such a complainer it’s sick(eningly endearing) 😭 I think it’s because he’s been in bad situations for most of his life, and was demanded to hide his true feelings and emotions. So once he realizes that sometimes he’s allowed to cry and sometimes he’s allowed to whine if he doesn’t like something instead of just being numb and content all the time, he goes wild!! He becomes muuuuch more comfortable around you than he ever has been with anyone before and he really lets his emotions flow!! He whines when you get up in the mornings because he wants to snuggle more, he whines when his food is too hot because he doesn’t feel like waiting for it to cool down, he whines when the jacket he wears most often gets too tight (‘cause he’s finally eating enough :’) ) and he can’t wear it anymore, even if you’ve already bought him a replacement - sometimes you get worried that he’s literally only sad/whiny all the time but you remind yourself that he’s just never been allowed to be sad or whiny before so of course he’ll show what he’s feeling !! He definitely balances it out with a whole bunch of excitement and happiness and love :’)

Get to know a simmer - summer 2023 edition (for me!) I was tagged by the amazing @lilypixels (thank you so muuuuch, you truly don't know how much I love to ramble on here and I also was so curious to know more about you! （*＾-＾*) and although I did it back in spring and you can find the old post here, I LOVE DOING SUCH UPDATES SKKSS so I'd decided I want to do it again~ Especially considering, I have a bit more mutuals and followers than then, so.. get to know me! And my love for rambling, too!

Show your wallpaper and last song you listened to (as you can see, I have a new theme! Yay! But Writer Lite still stayed here as well as Linga :') and I'm slowly going into my Hozier obssesion again, it's just mixed with Will Wood and Tally Hall!) AND YEAH I DID IT THE LAST LMAO just right now and I was just.. God why am I so slow and write so slow I-

Currently reading: I'm re-reading To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger once again and it's thanks to that one nonnie that made me want to go back to it and analyse every single sentence..) and I started reading Rapture by Saint Harlowe which was recommended to me by @rottengurlz - thank you SO MUCH for such amazing book rec, by far I can say that I'm getting so much Hannibal vibes for some reason? JACKSON IS SO.. OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOD I don't know how to react and i'm fucking screaming IS IT A BOOK OF MY DREAM? The writing style, the religious references, the murderousness and both gentleness. It is... I didn't got very far, but this is very... this is a religious experience, literally! And I'm forever thankful to you for this rec!! 💕

Last movie: I might be very wrong because my memory sucks, but I feel like it was The Witch (2015)! But I'm not sure since I also watched Annihilation (2018) the same week and I don't remember which was the last I had watched 😭

Last show: Chapelwaite (2021) - I only started and I'm honesty terrified to watch it further but I think It might be worth it?

Craving: mmm, I don't really know? Maybe caramelized shrimps or WAIT Maultaschen? THEY HAVE INTERESTING STORY THOUGH!!! And they're very tasty and you probably know what's I'm going to go cook right now...

Last thing you ate: Baked Brussels sprouts with maple syrup! As you can see, I have a sweet tooth and I'd sold my soul for anything sweet, but especially for sweet vegetables!

What are you wearing right now: It's very cold (I'M NOT JOKING IT'S LITERALLY 12 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE AND THERE WERE A !!!!!!LONG THUNDERSTORM!!!!!!! AND I'M SOOOO HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!!!!) so I'm wearing very old very fur socks that were knitted by my papa (yes, they're a gift for Christmas 2019 and I adore them and would protect them at any cost), orange woolen sweater, woolen home shorts and on top of that... I'm hiding in a very big yellowish autumny blanket with milky white stripes. I'm freezing and I still have my window open wide despite having an obvious fucking fever.

How tall are you: I figured out I'm actually 175 cm tall! It's pretty tall, right?

Piercings: None! I don't even have my ears pierced and I don't want to! There's clip-ons for that and I don't want to feel pain event for a slightest second. But piercings are really cool! I wish I didn't have this wild fear of pain or there were like... septum clip-ons if it makes sense? But yeah, still none and never will be!

Tattoos: None and I'm pretty sure there will never be any!

Glasses/contacts: I still have perfect vision, however! I STARTED KINDA COLLECTING VINTAGE GLASSES WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL SILVER CHAINS! I have three of them now help It's becoming another obsession... They just look cool and not even only on me, but just in general - even in the cabinet! And they have such beautiful and detailed cases ohhhh...

Favourite colour: Ahhh... I'm not sure but maybe... peachy pink? And that gold orange you can see on the painting Café Terrace at Night by the one and only Vincent Van Gogh. BUT PARIS GREEN IS STILL MY OBSESSION FOREVER I LOVE THIS COLOUR!!!!!!! And also, I think It's maroon and wine reds? They look so vampire I just... And so rich if it makes sense? AND GORE AND BLOOD- But aesthetic blood though!

Current obsession: Maid Of Sker & Bloodborne lore and maybe.. cosmic horror in general? Something definitely changed in me after watching Annihilation... But I also love Lovecraftian horror, so It does make a lot of sense!

Any pets: still no pet :,&lt; And I haven't seen my parents dog for months now... I miss her so much and I know they live only couple hours away but I'm deathly scared of publicly busy places especially electric trains and trains in general. I do not have a car and don't plan to and it will be useless anyways, but I'm not ready to deal with very... unstable train schedule and everything yet. I'm just scared but I hope i'd visit them at least for Christmas.

Favourite fictional character: Umm... I don't know now, It might be still Will Graham. I love him.

Last place you traveled: does going to Augsburg which is like.. 1 hour or so from me to see its cathedral once again counts? I just love this place so much, it feels so powerful and so old (which it is, and the architecture is insane. you need to go here to understand and feel it, but It's something so beautiful and it's kinda is my comfort place so...). And yeah, because the trip wasn't as long, I had my earbuds on and was drinking tea on a train and everything went really well! It was two weeks ago and It was like one of the most beautiful 6 hours of my year so far. And, there were a slight rain when I was shopping and walking around, so it's was really amazing. 10000/10 would recommend. ALSO. I bought some handmade brooches here! Its just a comfort town for me if it makes sense? There's so much to see but just calmly walking around feel the best. AND OMG I LOVE BEING HERE WHEN IT'S RAINING OR WHEN IT'S JUST CLOUDY AHHH

I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW I'M SCARED OF TAGGING but if you read it and if you just want to do this consider yourself tagged and tag me if you want to!! I love you so much to whoever is reading this and I hope you're having a great night or day!! ❤️

hihi!! i thought this was funny and wanted to tell you😭

i was telling my friend about Goo and how i would absolutely marry him and they said that he needs their blessing. i asked what he can do to get their blessing and they said he needed to write them an essay about how much he loves me so, to entertain them, i wrote them an essay from Goo's perspective about why he wants to marry me with a 20 minute timer. it was 584 words in the end and I worked a miracle.

Moral of the story: Goo got the blessing😭so uhhh you can always write your way into someones life??

This tickled me, just imagining the unhinged ramblings from Goo POV mixed with your own. Drop it please.

Inbox clearing time! Non fic requests answered: 6. (Check it - plus my fave Lookism arcs!)

To the non-anon anon that I have not included and I don't know what to do with your message - No, I won't hold your hand while you poop. Good luck with that.

Really?? I feel so... unhinged and nonsensical (even more so than usual) when I rant. Seriously thank you for reading!?!!?

PTJ did somewhat write women with more of a personality in his Life As A Loser Series so it seems more of a shame that he's lost his touch and catering much more towards teenage boys with his current series.

Which. Fine. Action manhwa - great. BUT if your target audience are teenage boys then yknow, wouldn't it be even BETTER to write some strong badass women so these impressionable youngsters realise that not all girls need saving, and oh look. Girls are human too. With their own ambitions and flaws and imperfections, just like everyone else.

If you must make them simp, form a harem. Also. FINE. At least give them something beyond that.

Hey Black Anon! Sorry again for how long it took me to respond to your ask before, and hope it's going much better for yourself since your last request.

I'm muuuuch more responsive with DMs so if you ever wanna come out of anon - come shout at me in my DMs!!

HTF s2 is really... something. Completely lost the meaning of HTF and Viral Hit. Don't blame you for dropping it. Alas, the Taehoon grip on me is still going STRONG.

LOL. Me in a similar position, wondering if I should get into JJK.

Can I... recommend some of my fave arcs if you ever do decide to read Lookism? The ones I like are generally more story driven.

Vasco's backstory (prepare the tissues) - 52 - 57

Johan + Zack + Mira backstory (cult warning, another sad arc) - 132 - 138

Goddog (another pretty sad arc with Johan) - 199 - 213

Jacedichi Files (silly crime solving with Burn Knuckles) - 215 - 218

One Night (Johan + Jace!! Fun action) - 258 - 262

Jake Kim (PLEASE READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE) - 302 - 318

Workers (2A) (Rescuing Sinu. Honestly, I cry almost every time. Read Jake Kim's arc to appreciate this!) - 372 - 392

Let me know if you ever get into it!!!

Me??? Mine????? I cannot write that guy so thank you - that means A LOT to me! I will try harder to write a decent Eli (that doesn't devolve into ranting about his current direction).

Thank you for reading and being so friggin CUTE!! 💖

I feel a vaguely threatening tone from this.

Like something Goo would recite before walking into a darkened warehouse with a crowbar 🤔

Baby there's nothing noble about this, but it is actually more satisfying than my normal job lol (lolling through tears).

Thank you so much for reading!! My single braincell has been firing quite well with these ideas.

Anon. Honestly this is adorable, I've screenshat this for a pick me up ahhhhhhh 🥹

My dear 🕊️ anon, thank you for reading my DG fic! I also feel very little for DG but I will admit I am coming around to him.

YES!!! I LOVE the idea of someone getting close to James Lee in his younger years, and him being soft for the reader.

And then I also like angst so let's bring those 2 things together. Heh.

Eeeee I also added that Remember fic to my list of faves that I have written.

Please. I also have a list of fictional men I am unwell over. Let's start a support group! 🫠

He makes you describe every little thing and in turn he does it, but he stops if you stop talking🥰🫶

“What do you think about?”

“Uh, you. Fingering me.”

“Mhm. I need to know a little more than that. How many fingers?” while getting his hand ready to push in as many fingers as you say and follow your daydreams to a T (no pun intended)

Or being like “you daydream about us? Do you ever think about sucking my cock, letting me use that throat while you take it like such a good girl? Did you think about me making you come over and over again? About me talking to you like this?”

Anyways. I’m so normal about this one bestie!!!

i need 😫 (i promise i’m gonna write a part 2 of daydreams where this happens!! <333 i just have to wait probably for the weekend so i’m not dead after work lol!!)

but let’s talk about it 😫🫠😵‍💫

he’s so sweet at first, kissing you all over your face and neck and chest <3 but then he’s like “are all of your daydreams just us holding hands in the park, baby? or do you also think about what i do to you when we get home?” and you get so flustered!!! and your reaction confirms to him that your daydreams are not always so innocent 😏

so he starts teasing 😫 and he asks “do you get excited when you think of me, sweetheart? do those cute daydreams of yours make your pretty pussy wet? make it ache for my touch? i can almost picture you, alone in your bed…my sweet angel all desperate and horny for me. all you had to do was ask and i’d fuck you just the way you like.”

and his hand is already soooo close to the waistband of your panties 😫 and he knows you’re dying for him to touch you but he’s a fucking asshole 🙄

he leaves sweet kisses all over you as his voice comes out softly against your skin 😫😫 he’s like “i’m gonna make them all come true, honey, you just have to tell me what you want.”

ughhh and he asks you about your most recent daydream <333 and you’re sooooo shy, covering your face with your hands as he speaks to you!! but he makes you say it anyway…and makes you look into his eyes as you do :(

you start saying that the night before you thought of him fingering you so he spreads your legs and starts rubbing your clit softly but you stop him and you mumble “not like this” and this gets his attention immediately he’s like 🚨 she’s opening up 🚨 bc even though he thinks it’s adorable that you’re so shy about it - he’s happy you feel comfortable with him 🥺🥺🥺💕💞

ANYWAY. you’re still really shy and your voice can barely be heard but you tell him what you want <33 you’re like “…umm…i’m the one on top” and aaron gets “🤨 is that so?” so you nod your head and tell him that “i’m on my hands and knees and you’re under me, keeping me in place while your fingers are inside me. and when i try to move because it gets too much, you don’t let me.”

so he smirks all satisfied and grabs your neck and kisses you and says “let’s see if i can fuck your little cunt as good as i do in your daydreams then” and you already know it’s gonna be muuuuch better 😫🫠

i think another neat thing about gunter is that he feels lived in

both in a 'has had a full life' sense and also physically

especially for a series like FE which has been more inspired by anime as of late and skews much younger in terms of cast. (i'd say at least 95% of FE characters are under their thirties).

and idek

not to sound like an old fart myself being 30+ but i find myself craving that complexity you only get with the added decades on each other? god i've forgotten it now but there was such a cool post on tumblr talking about how characters and people get more specific as they get older as they accumulate experiences, and that stayed with me, they're not such a blank slate, they're harder for some people to just randomly project onto and that can be why they draw both intensely positive but also intensely negative reactions. the especially neat characters to me, like gunter, are sharply specific in ways that they won't apologize for. i like that.

and then physically, lord i hesitate to say this out loud b/c i know i genuinely sound cracked as fuck but his knobby knuckles are beautiful, that wispy grey-lilac hair is beautiful, the scar is too, the creases, on and on-

and it's not even strictly in an aesthetic or erotic sense but also that sense as an artist of craving texture, i'm one of those weirdo artists that only feels like i'm doing shit right when it feels like real people are intentionally alert and breathing my pictures? body language especially being my go-to, but texture's another one, where's the creases, how to draw that specific cheek caress of lovers who treasure each other b/c they've loved and lost

you know, little details you only get with a full canvas of life

(in that sense you'd think, gee krad, you really should look at live-action peeps they're the ones to have wrinkles n shit :P unfortunately for me i'm more endeared the absolute brain dead pulpy exaggerated plots that anime tends to have which.... in the other direction, skews muuuuch younger in terms of the cast. ya can't win)

i also have this weird thing of really liking only mediums that are "drawn" b/c even if 60% of it is boring-most things read to me as boring these days- then sometimes at least the drawings are neat to study, and real people actors give me uncanny valley vibes. it's why i'm having a lot of fun with jim henson muppet style shows these days like farscape since it mixes the anime goofy vibes with the weirdly sentimental lived in vibes.

anyway

Ring.A.Bell Chapter 13

Time: (On the day of the PV shooting.)

Arashi: Well? Do you think this'll work for the shooting, Anzu-chan?

Wonderful. In that case, all my hard work won't go to waste!

Mao: They must use your methods in Hell, Arashi... You're a real Spartan.

Arashi: But it's thanks to that that you'll be able to give the best proposal possible. ♪

Of course, there's still plenty of room for improvement — in fact, if I had the time, I would've pushed you muuuuch farther.

Midori: Eeh~... It’s already a lot…

Anzu-san, sorry for having caused such a ruckus because of my misunderstanding.

Mao: Yeah, I... caused a pretty big fuss too, so I'm sorry.

Oh? You didn’t mind it much? I’m glad…♪

Eh? You have so much work to do you don’t have the time to give for such worries?

Mao: Ahaha, that's so like you. Alrighty then! Go ahead and look after us idols as much as you'd like, Anzu.

Midori: Hm? It looks like the shooting will start in a bit. Then, we’ll be off.

Eichi: Hey, won't you say my name like you always do?

Your voice is more soothing than any music I’ve ever heard, as if an angel itself had come to greet me.

Not a single person in all the world knows if the road ahead will be a happy one or not...

However, so long as you call out for me, I can live a blissful life.

Ah, truly... I truly do need you in my life to be happy.

I'm glad you feel the same.

Thank you for always being by my side.

And now, I can return that sentiment. I vow to remain at your side, until the day death sees fit to part us.

Keito: …Don’t expect a rose coloured marria—Ehem. Sorry. I spoke in a harsh manner by habit.

But you understand who I am, moreso, you accept me for who I am.

That kind side of you delights me.

I wish to convey my feelings more honestly, but… But with my personality, it might be a little hard.

However, it would be a bit unfair if I’d be the only one receiving this kindness.

That’s why I’ll take whatever measures are needed to properly convey these feelings.

It’s my vow to you—As we’ll be sharing the joys and sorrows of life together from now on.

Thank you for always supporting me.

To fulfill our dreams together that cannot be fulfilled alone—

Let’s take one step at a time together… I love you.

Leo: I love you, I love you, I loooooove you! I really, truly love you!

... Just kidding. ♪

I've got a world’s worth of love in my heart, but y'know what? It’s still no good. It’s not even close to the amount you deserve.

When I'm with you, I'm so happy I could burst!

... But at the same time, I’ve learned what it’s like to feel lonely too.

This pain I feel when we're apart, the yearning that joins hands with it... I never would've felt these if I hadn't met you!

But weirdly enough, I don't mind 'em at all!

You wanna know why? 'Cause because of you, of what I feel for you, the sound of "love" has only become more and more harmonious. As if I was playing with a completed piano, with every white and black key present!

That's why... no matter how many quarrels we have, or if there's ever a time that our differences might feel like burdens on our minds... Will you sing with me?

I'd wanna, because my songs are ever-flowing with my love for you.

From now until forever, l wanna pen my notes next to yours on this music sheet of life—and compose the longest love song this world has ever heard!

If it's with you... I know we can do it.

Mao: (Damn, I'd expect nothing less from our seniors! They're really amazing...

No matter how hard it is to say, I've gotta stay strong! I've gotta do my best too...!)

Since meeting you, I've found happiness around every corner...

I think if I hadn't... then I never would've noticed just how much joy there was right under my nose.

I really wish I could've said something cool, like "Just follow me!"...

... But instead, you were the one who led me. As hard as it is for me to admit that now.

That's why... That's why, I want to walk with you, hand in hand.

Side by side. Step by step. Let's go together.

That way... Even if we're apart, we'll still be connected to each other—y'know?

If we lose sight of one another, we'll always know where the other's at. So let's walk the same path together, from now until forever.

So... Um... What I mean is...

... I love you.

So please! Let's spend the rest of our lives together!

Midori: Umm… Since the day I met you and… you took my hand…

The pain and worries in my chest slowly started to fade away.

Everything around me began to bloom in colour.

I didn’t understand why it felt like things were slowly changing as the days went by… But now, I think I finally know the reason.

I liked today, more than yesterday—and tomorrow, more than today… All of that is because you provided me with “love”, little by little…

We laughed together on happy days, cried together on sad days. We worried together on hard days and held hands together on joyful days.

Through that, you slowly bestowed me with “love”…

That’s why, I was able to like myself a little, too.

I still… don’t know much about love or whatever… But, it feels right to call this feeling in my chest that.

I've always given up on everything, but for the first time in my life… I don’t want to abandon something; I don’t want to let go of you.

Umm… Could you�� stay by my side like this forever?

I’m still far away from being reliable, and I’m still pretty pitiful but… I truly want to shower you with kindness.

I will always love you.

Okay AU idea:

When he was a child, Grian found a portal to a fantasy world with you know. Magic and stuff.

He had his saving the world adventure.

And then his portal back to the mundane world broke. He spent his teenage years up to his ears in fantasy stories trying to find a clue how to get back to the place he felt more at home in than his 'real home'.

And now he's an adult. He's very dissatisfied with life.

He's about given up hope of actually finding a way back but he hasn't stopped looking.

And it works. It works! And he goes through the portal and he's in this magical world again.

He travels from city to city for a while. He actually managed to find several of the people he was adventuring with and make a life for himself here. He's... it's awful mundane actually, now that he's an adult, but this world and these people still feel like home. He didn't expect it to be the same as when he was a child, really.

He hasn't found one person in particular he missed.

When he asks his old friends they all have the same story, that Scar disappeared for good pretty soon after Grian himself did. (He wonders if he was responsible. They had an argument about Grian going back that last time)

There is However, new political drama going on. Not the same as when they were children, but the crown prince is a stubborn man apparently.

So Grian and his friends manage to finagle their way into invites to a royal event (because come on, they've got to find out more, Grian is so curious about the royal family that replaced the evil whatever he vanquished all those years ago)

.... the crown prince is Scar.

Grian points this out to the others who are all like "nah, I don't see it. That can't be Scar."

Grian gets to dance with Scar - Scar is beautiful now, what the hell - and they have a very civil conversation all the way up until Scar figures out that Grian is, well, Grian.

He's a little miffed to see Grian, in all honesty.

--

"I thought you were going home."

"I did." Grian said, "I don't even know where to start."

Scar said nothing, waiting for Grian to speak.

"I wanted both. This world and the one I come from. I thought that portal would be open forever." Grian said.

"And then you left."

"It closed. Behind me. I couldn't come back. I wanted to. God - I wanted to. I missed you so much."

Scar pulled them to a quiet corner, out the way, but still didn't respond to Grian.

"I searched. I kept searching, even when I stopped... even when I stopped believing I could, when I thought I would never get back."

"... I missed you too."

(Insert politics and court plot and stuff and Grian and Scar growing closer)

One quiet night they sat together on a balcony.

"I think I'm in love with you." Grian said.

"I know I'm in love with you. I have been since we were children."

"I never should have left. I'm sorry."

"You're home now." Scar laced his fingers with Grian's. "And you're never leaving." He phrased it like a question. Doubt seeping in.

And part of Grian thinks that it wasn't the world he was so desperate to get back to. His home was always Scar. "I'm home. There's nowhere I'd rather be."

--

-@scitties-enjoyer

His home was Scar *sobbing into my pillow* I LOVE THIS SO MUUUUCH

I can only just imagine the stuff Scar has to deal with- like imagine the court trying to kill him because they all firmly believe Scar will not be a good king. Grian manages to catch a whiff of this at a ball Scar invited him and their friends too. As Scar was about to take a sip of the wine, Grian sprints over to him and smacks it out of his hand, saying they were goin to poison him. (this is when a lot of things go south and tensions become high) But we do tget that happy ending quq

hi! i hope that you’re doing lovely today! 🥰 i had an idea for adam warlock where reader has a well-worn notebook that she takes with her everywhere she goes - before missions, while strolling around Knowhere, or hanging out with the Guardians. she doesn’t show it to anyone but maybe one person finds out and teases her for it 😂 adam’s really curious as to what is inside and why reader sometimes gives him really intense looks as if they’re memorizing each part of him 😉 maybe one day reader leaves the notebook unattended or maybe they get injured during a mission so adam brings them they’re notebook while they’re asleep and he can’t help but look inside. he sees these wonderfully detailed drawings - really mostly of him and some of his adorable expressions and smiles - but also the other Guardians. adam is really touched (maybe he tears up a bit) but he can’t fathom the reader’s fascination with him because he doesn’t view himself as beautifully as reader does. maybe he notices that while reader draws everyone else, nobody draws them. i can imagine adam trying his utter hardest to make a portrait of them but it looks really childish yet colorful, and when he shows the reader (maybe when they wake up) they’re surprised that adam found out but love him more while he gets flustered and tries to explain why he made the drawing and describes all of the small details. fluffiness or whatever you like ensues… this is just an idea - feel free to use as much of this or as little of it as you want, and have a wonderful day! ☺️

Hello! First of all, so sorry for taking so long with this.

I LOVED YOUR IDEA, I find it so freaking cute and I finally finished this one shot, thanks so muuuuch!!! As someone who loves drawing and is trying to get better at it, this helped me a lot to continue and improve. And of course I love Adam with all my heart, so thanks love!!💓😭 I hope you like it<3

I just in the last 10 minutes came across your art for the first time. Something about the way you do colors... Gosh, I wanna go dig up my copics and take every color and just go absolutely ham with them.

The one post you have, there's three pictures; two of them have orbs (a garden one and a purple one) and the other is magenta and blue, a figure on a field. Those came out beautifully!!

I figure this might be just a drop in the bucket of comments you're getting about them, since maybe that post got circulated to a lot of blogs recently, but I can't continue with my day til I gush about how much of an impression they made xD (hell, I'd always hope someone would do the same if anything I made evoked the same feelings!)

goshhh your ask left me feeling like nothing but a speechless sleepy little bloob both too happy to express any thoughts properly and too "it's 8 in the morning i must be dreaming" to believe this little cute and super warm things can happen to me. thank you so so much!!! for taking your time and writing all of it??? i really want to cuddle every single word separately and then cuddle you but much muuuuch tighter <3 you just made my morning and following day much more nicer and pleasant and i can't stop smiling and just phphphphphph you're wonderful little sunshine okay please have a great day <3 <3 <3

40 hours in AC Odyssey. I really like it! I appreciate the levity of it compared to past AC games. I laughed many times so far! Kass has a very unique personality, and I'm a big fan of switching it up from the brooding protagonist AC is long known for, with very few exceptions.

It's a beautiful game, and I love the armor. The helmets are *chef's kiss* tbh! The world building is top tier.

I LOOOOVE IKAROS!

The naval stuff brings me back so hard to AC IV: Black Flag. And to be honest, the whole game sort of gives me Black Flag vibes.

Fighting mechanics took me a while but I am muuuuch better now. I'm not as good with the mechanics as I am with Valhalla (I mean.... I've played it 8 times) but I have moments where things flow really smoothly. And I am enjoying the stealth quite a bit? I'm not sure what anyone is talking about with stealth in this game. It's fine?

I also am not turned off by the heavy Isu stuff as that's something I really enjoy. And I see it for what it is: Setting the foundation for AC lore in its totality. I'm not a huuuuuge fan of what Kassandra ends up being used for based in Valhalla and Mirage (ok I hate it actually) but I get what the game was trying to do for the rest of the franchise so far.

Story wise, I will be 100% honest and say I am not as into it as Origins and Valhalla. It took me about 30 hours to feel a similar level of emotional investment. Because of that, it is a top 10 game for me. Not top 5, but given how much I am enjoying it now? I am betting it will stay at least top 10 by completion of the main story. It may even move up.

I also love Kass as a protagonist and think she is among the better of AC protagonists, period. Her purpose is not to be the cookie cutter assassin. But again....she sets the foundation for all other protagonists after her, and I can get behind her being that person. It makes sense that the hidden ones foundational narrative came later. And her sass, charm and badassery are a breath of fresh air for the franchise.

Odyssey review so far: 8/10

Ranking in my top games: Between 7 and 10 of my top 10.

How am I feeling about the ancient trilogy? Trilogy is GREAT and I will never be convinced otherwise.

Odyssey might move up as I play more, too!

#ac odyssey #Finally gave Odyssey a shot #knew it would take dedicated time and after BG3 X 4 my gaming queue finally gave me time to do it

Maybe it's because I never joined the Rice fandom before the show but I'm still surprised (though probably shouldn't be) at the complaints people throw over Louis' portrayal of Lestat. If anything else the show makes Lestat look a hell of a lot better than the book or movie, all the while giving us reasons as to why Lestat would still be an awful partner to Louis because he simply doesn't care to understand him or try to, and even if he technically accepts Louis' hesitation to kill, he looks down upon it because he views his human connection as unnecessary as an older vampire. And Claudia's version of events still ties to Louis' version of Lestat even if not completely since Louis' version is an outdated memory rather than a real time recording. Lestat turned her for Louis. He may have loved her in his own way but his approach to teach her how to be emotionally disconnected is destructive and frankly not good at all considering how he also went through similar shit? When Louis goes "you forgot how youth was" he wasn't wrong.

I also never joined that fandom, but I do know that it's super Lestat-driven. Lestat was Anne's favorite, he had the most attention paid to him by her, the most content driven by her.... So I get why the fandom loves him. They know him best.

But! Lestat is, in or out of his own perspective, a fucked individual.... which is why he's fun to read about. And the show's version is its own thing, with a lot of complex elements re: gender, race, and sexuality that were not confronted in the book!canon.

And I agree that he's way more sympathetic than in the original book or the movie. The show has already called out that Louis's narration is not reliable, something only teased in the movie at the end, and only really called out explicitly in subsequent books. Sam Reid is giving a muuuuch more nuanced performance than Tom did.

(I'll be real... I think Tom's Lestat was one of his more interesting performances, but I suspect that it's not so much immortalized because it's *good*. It's immortalized because it's the anti-Tom performance in his repertoire, and it's very unintentionally camp. Do you think he's doing good acting there? Or do you think he's doing drag and doesn't know it. BE HONEST. Whereas Sam is intentionally doing camp and PERFORMING.)

Louis calling out Lestat forgetting youth is accurate--and I'd argue that, as with many abusive parents, the issue is also that Lestat sees himself in Claudia on some level and kinda hates those parts of her he sees. I mean, Lestat berating Claudia for falling for a mortal when Lestat did that... also? And sure, his story ended differently, but lol, he knows Louis hates him as much as he loves him. So you either kill them or make them immortal and have a fucked up relationship.

I think the show is dabbling in a lot of gray, which people don't wanna accept. Louis and Lestat can love each other tremendously and be in a horrible relationship. We can want that relationship to continue while also acknowledging that it's bad. It can be an abusive relationship that we acknowledge as abusive and we can root for them to figure it out. Louis can be abused by Lestat and do his own fucked up shit in the relationship. Louis can be exaggerating some aspects of Lestat's behavior to put distance between himself and his feelings for him, and he can be telling the dead truth about other aspects. Lestat can love Louis and Claudia and be horrible to them.

Idk man--I think the show has done a great job of presenting nuanced, tragic figures who are hurt and also actively harm others. You don't win an argument if you spend your entire viewing experience trying to explain how LOUIS IS ALSO A FLAWED PERSON like lol... everyone knows that. But the power dynamic, on almost every level, is in Lestat's favor. There's a reason why we saw big emphasis on Louis and Claudia being able to *understand each other* in a way that Lestat couldn't, supernaturally.

#interview with the vampire #idk i think that if you spend your entire time watching this show defending lestat #versus accepting and processing his behavior #you miss a lot of nuance

Do you think Ichiya's harassment towards Erza is the same thing as Juvia's harassment towards Gray? and if that's the case then why is Erza allowing Juvia doing the same thing?

Double Standard between Ichiya and juvia

I do think Ichiya's harassment is basically the same thing as juvia's harassment. I really like your bringing attention to the fact that despite Erza being a victim of sexual harassment, she allows and encourages juvia to do the same thing to Gray.

Let's examine some of their behaviors side by side, shall we?

(Now it's been quite a few months since I watched FT last so I'm not going to remember every single Ichiya or juvia moment, but I'll write about what I remember off the top of my head. This won't be my greatest post, because of my bad memory haha. Feel free to comment any more similarities I might've missed!)

Ichiya has a habit of calling Erza pet names that have made her very uncomfortable. Tbh I'm not remembering all of them but I think he called her "baby" in the English dub version.

juvia also has a plethora of pet names for Gray that they had never agreed on and he had never asked for, just like Erza hadn't, like "darling" in the English dub. Also whenever she says Gray's name, she adds "-sama" to the end of it, elevating Gray to an embarrassing degree. I'm not an expert on Japanese suffixes, but I know they use that term when speaking to someone of muuuuch higher status than the speaker, like when they're referring to God, they say "kami-sama". It shows a crazy amount of respect and humbling of oneself, and Gray never asked for that and certainly doesn't consider himself better than juvia (though he should because she's pits). If you think about it, it's about the equivalent of this person who's unhealthily obsessed with you bowing down to you and calling you "your royal highness" or "your lordship" or "my queen/king" and actually meaning that level of respect when you never wanted them to in the first place. I think most people who don't have inflated egos would be very uncomfortable with someone who follows them around calling them those things all the time in public and in front of their friends especially.

Ichiya invades Erza's space all the time, sniffing her "parfum" at a very disturbingly close distance, which usually ends up with him getting kicked in the face.

juvia does the same thing constantly, with her even jumping into Gray's mouth naked before. she hugs him (more like tackles him) out of the blue so much, and she didn't let go of his hand when he wanted her too after their unison raid in the GMG. It's really gross to blatantly ignore someone's personal bubble on a regular basis, especially if that person hasn't okayed it. Did her parents never teach her "hands to yourself" as a kid? Someone really needs to now. It's very r*pey behavior to put your hands on someone else, especially lecherously as she does, without their consent.

Ichiya treats Erza as if they're a package deal already despite them being very decidedly not.

juvia also pesters Gray incessantly about being her one and only, very assured that he is in fact hers despite never asking him to date her. she's a weird one. Sometimes she seems like she knows they're not dating, as she tries so hard to win him over, and sometimes she shows she thinks they are dating by being all lovey dovey and expecting Gray to only have eyes for her. she really is just crazy and has no rhyme or reason, so I don't worry too much about what she actually thinks because she clearly doesn't think at all. All that to say, she ignores what Gray wants because he's rejected her before and she doesn't care, and she's delusional from thinking her methods work and are humane.

I guess the last similarity I can think of, that ties in the stuff I've already mentioned, is that neither of them takes no for an answer, which is soooo r*pey (yes, I use this term a lot, but it really captures their behavior) of them. It's just abhorrent to keep pushing and pushing their agenda to obtain the relationship they want even though the object of their disgusting affection clearly pushes back and rejects their advances.

Unforgivable really.

I can't believe this type of behavior is romanticized and humorized in anime and manga so often when it's just gross and criminal.

Back to your second question: Why is Erza allowing juvia to do the same thing to Gray when in reality, shouldn't she understand what Gray is going through since she has to endure it with Ichiya?

Honestly this is a really good question, and one I hadn't really thought hard into before. I think I might have an answer, though I'm sure Mashima didn't think this far through with his terrible character "development" skills.

First of all, this is just another example of men getting the short end of the stick in media. While Ichiya's advances get rebutted with a swift kick that sends him flying (as they should), juvia's advances are more or less allowed even with Gray's clear discomfort. And no one seems to care that Gray is being harassed. With Ichiya, it's clear we're meant to find him disgusting and a pig through even just his character design, with his very short body (which is usually found to be an unattractive character trait in men in society) and an ugly face. With juvia though, she's designed to be traditionally attractive, with the usual huge breasts and curvy yet slim figure, as well as a "cutesy" face. We're supposed to find her pretty, and therefore "she should be allowed to do all these nasty things to Gray because her pretty privilege turns all her nonconsensual harassments into being cute and acceptable."

News flash, it doesn't matter what you look like, if you ignore consent, you're disgusting and ugly af on the inside.

Just because juvia is conventionally cute and a woman (because so many people don't think women can have the power to do these criminal acts to men), she's given a pass, and we're supposed to root for her.

That's the first reason Erza is encouraging juvia, because Mashima is banking on the fact that everyone who watches/reads FT finds juvia's actions to be acceptable through her pretty woman privilege, and therefore he just wanted a female friend of hers to help her and support her actions. A character in the story, especially an important one like Erza, showing they support juvia is sort of the same thing as Mashima himself showing he agrees that juvia and Gray should be endgame.

Another reason, this will be more speculative and story-based, could definitely be that Erza is just friggin' dense and doesn't realize the parallel between Ichiya and juvia, or that juvia's actions are damaging to Gray's well-being. We're shown throughout the show that she's dense when it comes to certain things, especially how to behave in social settings. This could just be an offshoot of that, that like juvia, she's socially stunted on this front and fails to realize that juvia's actions are exactly like Ichiya's because she's a cute girl.

She's also been shown to be sort of an older sister figure to Gray, and that comes along with her bossing him around. She's used to being obeyed by Gray and Natsu and in general because of her power and her intimidating aura, so it could really be that she's decided that she knows what's best for Gray, that Gray needs some love and romantic affection, and that juvia, since she is a ready resource that's completely willing to provide him that, is perfect for him. Maybe Erza respects juvia's "undying loyalty" -more like undying obsession- since the red-head has had to deal with loyalties and trust being broken before (think Tower of Heaven).

In the end, I think the true answer as to why Erza supports juvia is the usual one, oldy but a goody, that Mashima is just a sucky writer when it comes to all things gruviugh. I think the real Erza would never support let alone encourage juvia's unsolicited acts of fixating on and fetishizing Gray. I'd like to think she would be there for him like a truly good big sis would, and that she would spring to protect him from those who would do him wrong in a heartbeat.

That, unfortunately, is not the case, and yes, it's Mashima's fault for writing her so out of character, but unfortunately, it's how Erza canonically acts. I shake my head at this author yet again.

Closing Notes:

Thank you so much for your patience! I am back! :) Please do comment below if you have any thoughts as to why Erza supports this behavior despite her grievances with Ichiya, or if you have any thoughts at all!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all so much for voting on the poll! It gave me a feel of what you guys wanted when it came to asks and the upcoming comic!

While the poll was pretty fairly split, there were more people favoring that I keep the comic on this blog, so that’s what I am going to do!

Here are all of my official plans:

- The comic will be hosted here. I don’t have a definite schedule yet. Being completely honest, this is my first time doing a comic (I’ve experimented in the past, but nothing ever really got off the ground). This story has pretty strong planning so I will try to update at least once a month. I’ll create a more official schedule later on!

- If I ever go on hiatus, I will pin a hiatus post to the top of the blog. Hiatuses will usually be due to family/work related conflicts or vacations. If there is a hiatus posted, please do not send asks about when I will be back. You can ask if I’ll be back on the hiatus post, but I’d rather keep questions like that out of my ask box.

- I’m going to retcon (sorta) the first two asks on this blog. They are still relevant, but mostly to later in the story. So asks should be based on the current timeline (spoiler: don’t send asks about the prologue unless it’s to the OOC, because they likely won’t be answered til muuuuch later).

- While asks will still be answered, the comic will take priority over asks unless they are asks for the OOC (me).

- This entire comic is an experiment for me! Meaning I might change up my style, how I do backgrounds, panels, etc. Please understand that this comic is mostly for me to have fun with it and share the story, so artistic consistency might sway! That being said, I might make changes if I find a way to produce comics faster but still keeping the level of quality that I find to be appropriate. It’s all up in the air, but I hope you’ll stick around!

- I’ve already finished the prologue (it’s a bit short, but that’s intentional just to give readers a taste), but I will not release it until I’ve finished the first scene of Chapter 1. I want to keep a buffer of one scene between posting when possible. Meaning, scene 1 will release after I finish scene 2, and so on!

- Any additional side art of the characters will be posted on my regular account @rising-in-the-ash! I might repost it onto this account if I feel like it.

- It should be noted that I don’t plan to make any money off of this comic! I’m doing this for fun! I’m an adult with a job and other responsibilities, so my real life will take priority (this shouldn’t be too shocking lol). Also, making money off of a property I didn’t technically create has some legally grey ickyness. If you want to support me, you can commission me!

If you read all of this, bless you, I know this was long! I’m very excited to share this story with you all and I hope you will enjoy it!

Thanks for reading!

#i tried to bold the important stuff for people who don’t want to read all my stuff #very excited to start this #expect an update very soon! #ashspeaks #ooc #askpandoraexplorer #askpandora
