AHHH IDK IF UR REQUESTS ARE STILL OPEN BUT I GOT THIS IDEA FOR SANJI FROM THE ASK I ASKED U

Sanji reacting to his crush calling him pretty boy :D fem or male reader

If they are closed feel free to ignore this-!-

Calling Sanji "Pretty Boy"

notes - I KID YOU NOT I HAD IT ALL WRITTEN OUT AND IT ALL DELETED SO I HAD TO RESTART IM SO PISSED RN GRR IT WAS SO GOOD TOO AHHHHH Well nonetheless, I love this request and I may have made it a bit suggestive tee hee. Thanks for the amazing Sanji requests, I can't wait for more! Lots of love! <3

"pretty boy~"

he would stare at you as blush slowly spreads across his face and a line of blood goes down his nose

he wipes the blood and just stares at you again

"wh-what?"

you just smirk and run your finger under his chin, your lips inches away from his "you heard me~"

you killed him

good job, y/n

he would BEG that you call him that more often

B E G

like when you call him that, you catch him off guard sm and he doesnt even care that he just dies, he NEEDS it

and it doesnt matter where you are after that (if he's cooking or with the crew), the moment you call him that, he will sweep you away to anywhere private and lay shaky kisses all over you while whispering sweet nothings in your ear (accidently sputtering some in french too)

please keep calling him this and treat him like the pretty boy he is tee hee

poor you, having your hips pinned to the wall as hyejus tip rubs at your slit, small whines leaving your mouth at how rough she’s been with you, neck sore from how much she’s marked you up :( and it startles you with how fast she bottoms out in you, a loud moan leaving her lips as she does so. and with that, it’s just her and you.. mainly her, chasing her own release as you claw at her shoulder, begging her to slow down, of course, does hyeju listen? no! she’s sooo focused on how her pretty little girl takes her so well (even if she’s practically screaming.. who wouldn’t?) and how cute you look when you’re all fucked out for her. ahshhewhjiduwv she just wants to use you forever, keep you as hers :( won’t you let her??? “ynnnnn, lemme cum insideee-“ she drags out, whining loudly over your small squeaks, she can’t help it, you’re just made so perfect for her!! you nod eagerly, you do wanna be hers <3 and with a small stutter of her hips, and the way she pins your hips into the wall even more, she reaches her release, which triggers yours.. and god, it’s messy! her seed buried deep inside you, dripping between your thighs, and mixing with your juices.. and she was gonna have to clean you up.. how should she?? she might just leave her pretty girl clenching around nothing as she thinks of her and only her…

*speed walking around in circles arms behind back folded up all nice* The creatures need enrichment. the creatures need to draw.

Hierophant does so often with whatever it can get its hands on on whatever surface possible whenever the urge to do so comes along. It does so with a sense of urgency. I feel they’d be in a similar style to the Civilsation I + II (KKB albums) art if a bit stiffer and not as clean. They are... prophetic? In nature.

I think it’s the only one who would make a habit out of it/draw often but it’d be interesting to see others try too

Magician would struggle with his claws if he tried and Im thinking it would turn out messy. Simple but there would be an attempt to be elegant or at least presentable. But would press too hard or too light. Would color things in if it fit. Exact style hard to pin down, i think it’d look oddly fuzzy. Would also find angrily scribbling and straight up grinding pencils to dust therapeutic.

Hangedman would be ok with drawing I don’t think it would be a hobby but if he had to visualize something or express somethng without words maybe he’d draw it out. Also very messy and simplistic but it’s. Blockier? everything is more like big shapes, the simplest you can get to recognize shapes. Everything is angular and there’s a decent sense of form. Lines are very very thick. Would use bright colors or black yellow and red alone to color in. Something may be a little disturbing abt it

Star would draw simple figures, more like silhouettes. sketchy and would not use color much. He would try it for the sake of it.

Empress could scribble something down if prompted (or if she wanted to try it out tee hee). Also very basic forms. smudgy. EIther featureless blocks/blobs or just cutesy but very simple. The would maybe look like those stylistic drawings i posted of her and emperor as that was meant to be a look of them in her mind’s eye or whatever...

While we’re at it! The people too :)

Lisa and Daniel both tend to doodle when bored esp the latter as he ran out of stuff to do in the facility quickly. The former draws eyes over and over in note margins and flowers and her style is kind of anime ish. Like. Chibi toon whatever. Daniel’s is like a simple realism or a comic style with shapes blocked out.

Kate would say she can’t even draw a stick figure but!! She has great handwriting. Could and would probably take up caligraphy. Sophie also has rlly pretty handwriting

Cuddling with Wesker Headcanons

notes - I just did the one with Leon and now I feel like I have to do Wesker. LISTEN, I still don't know a lot about the man, but I know a bit and I'm gonna play re5 soon. This may not be the most in character Wesker, but I want to cuddle him, so that's what he gets for being in my brain lolol

b-broad shoulders (*drools cutely*)

this man will hold you in his arms and never let go

i feel like he doesnt care for spooning, but instead wants you cuddled on his chest

yeah that feels right

and like, he'll give you little forehead kisses when you're sleeping

will his admit this to any of you in the morning???

tee hee

run your fingers softly over his face and neck and down his chest to his abs and he belongs to you now

that's just how things work

call him pretty names while cupping his face

he'll act like he hates it, but come on

he needs you for warmth

he is shivering at night and will just press you against you and use you as a blanket LMFAO

ever night before you two fall asleep in each other's arms, he will always tell you something about how pretty you are with a drousy voice before dozing off

you dont care if he says it through a yawn, it means the world to you

play with his hair because it's already fallen out and messy before you two go to sleep, so playing with it more just makes him smile a bit and always helps him sleep faster

i feel like he has a problem with sleep unless you're there, so make this man pass out, it's one of your best qualities <3

he will always be gone when you wake up, but he won't stop thinking about cuddling you lol, you just have that effect <3

have some ichiramu smut bc I needed to vent somehow and whats the best way to do that? write self-indulgent ship r18 content ヽ( `д´*)ノ

Do not interact with this post if you’re under 18!

Usually Ramuda was in control. They’d spent countless nights letting off steam, usually with Ichiro tied up or blindfolded, and Ramuda trying not to give in to his erotic pleas. The two weren’t exactly boyfriends, and not exactly friends-with-benefits.

“Mmf? Ichiro, what’s with you…?” Ramuda said in-between heavy kisses.

Ramuda knew from the start that if he really wanted to, Ichiro could easily over-power him. But no, he was always compliant in whatever Ramuda had in store.

But now Ichiro had pinned him to the wall, his bigger body completely towering over Ramuda. He leaned down to whisper into his ear, pressing their bodies together.

“Ramuda. I can’t deal with any of your teasing today.” He slid his hands down Ramuda’s back, feeling the way he shivered under his touch. Ichiro rested his hands on Ramuda’s ass. “Can I take what I want? Just for today?” He squeezed the soft flesh in his hands to make his point.

Ramuda could feel Ichiro’s growing erection press against his waist, and all he could do was whine in response.

He was feeling generous, and strangely vulnerable. There wasn’t a particular reason why – perhaps Ramuda’s dominant streak had hit its limit, or perhaps he just wanted to see what Ichiro would do when there wasn’t a collar around his neck.

“Mm. You can take anything you want, baby. Ehe~”

“That’s all I need to hear.” Ichiro lifted up Ramuda effortlessly and carried him to their bedroom.

Ramuda’s head was swirling, thinking of what Ichiro could have in store. He felt his dick already throbbing at the mere thought of Ichiro having his way with him.

“What d’ya want, babe?”

Ichiro put Ramuda down and thought to himself. “I want… uh.”

“Lemme help you, okay? I know where I want you, so. Just watch and follow from there!”

“Ramuda. I’m not following your lead tonight. It’s my turn. Prep yourself, right here.” Ichiro’s nerves seemed to have vanished as he grabbed a bottle of lube from their bedside table – this time, without being asked to. He tossed the bottle to Ramuda, who scrambled to open it like he was going to die without showing Ichiro his asshole.

“Look, see? I’m gonna do it, tee-hee~”

Was it five minutes ago that Ramuda opened the bottle? Half an hour?

He couldn’t remember anything outside of Ichiro’s eyes being trained on Ramuda’s fingers slowly dipping in and out of where they were soon to be joined. It was almost romantic. Almost. Ramuda grinned, loving it way more than he expected and –

Wait, Ramuda thought, was Ichiro…?

Yes. He couldn’t be doing anything else. Ramuda had never felt stage fright before but seeing Ichiro jerk himself off as he prepared himself made him feel smaller than he’d ever felt. This was hardly the first time that Ramuda had been on the receiving end of Ichiro’s dick, though, during those times he was the one holding power over Ichiro’s head. Flashbacks of each time ran through his head – he loved to edge Ichiro by bouncing up and down and almost giving his lover what he wanted, until the penultimate moment, when he would stop halfway down his length just to hear that deep voice groan out and beg for release.

Now, he said the same two words, but in an entirely different way:

“Hurry up.”

Ichiro’s commanding tone sent shivers through Ramuda’s body, and he gradually loosened around his fingers. Is this how Ichiro felt whenever he was being dominated? Spinning around and around, with tingles of pleasure and denial speeding past his eyes.

“I said, hurry up.”

“Aha, sorry~” Ramuda choked out, feeling trapped, like his every move was being scrutinised. Would Ichiro want to see him pleasure himself beyond preparation, or would he be punished? Either situation was delicious to think about, and Ramuda was learning to love the uncertainty.

“Enough. Lie down. On your hands and knees.”

Ramuda, not wasting time by replying, did as he was told. He felt like a good boy, and was praying that he would be rewarded for being so.

Ichiro squirted some lube onto his hands, rubbed them together to get it warm, and stroked himself off some more, getting himself ready.

The stretch was good. No pain at all, Ramuda noted. The moment between that thought and Ichiro’s cock grazing Ramuda’s prostate was gone in a second, and Ramuda was rolling his eyes back and pushing his body towards Ichiro.

“So you like it, huh?” Ichiro said in-between a never-ending stream of light smacks – the sound of Ichiro’s hips on Ramuda’s ass. Neither of them knew how such a simple sound could be so, for lack of a more eloquent term, fucking sexy.

Ramuda couldn’t even reply. He was too busy squealing in time with Ichiro’s thrusts.

“What was that?” Ichiro leaned over and growled his words into Ramuda’s ear. “I couldn’t hear you. Were you too busy getting fucked out of your mind…?” He smacked Ramuda’s ass to punctuate himself. “…baby?”

Ramuda felt control over his body melt away, and he could only put effort into holding himself up. But he was struggling with that. His arms were slowly slipping, and his strength was draining. And Ichiro could see it.

“Don’t worry, baby. I got you.” He pulled out quickly, leaving Ramuda whining on the bed. He winced as he felt lube leak out slowly, trailing down his leg.

“Ichirooo…”

“Heheh… you’re so whiny.” Ichiro turned Ramuda over onto his back, with a gentle touch that was close to being out of place.

When they came face-to-face, soft eyes made him remember why he was in the position in the first place. In the heat of the moment Ramuda had forgotten who was fucking him. Ichiro wasn’t a ruthless lover at all. Ramuda felt something well up. Something he’d never quite put into words before, and Ichiro felt it too.

“What’s wrong? Do you want me to stop?” Ichiro leaned down to brush Ramuda’s messed up hair out of his face, trying gauge his emotions.

“No… I just love you a lot. You’re so sweet. You’re also really strong. And I love that. I love all of you.”

Ichiro was stunned by Ramuda’s sudden confession. He didn’t expect such heartfelt words right in the middle of when they were getting hot and steamy.

“You don’t have to say anything back, Ichiro. In fact…” Ramuda squirmed on the bed, missing his lover’s touch. He gripped the inside of his knees and brought his legs as high as he could stretch them. “…please fuck me again.”

This position had its pros too. Ichiro could see Ramuda’s cock in its full glory, smearing his own precum all over his torso. And Ramuda could tell he was being watched.

“I can do that.” Ichiro lined himself up with Ramuda’s hole, and thrusted forward. He relished every moment of the moan that poured out of Ramuda. “You’re so pretty when you present yourself to me like that. I hope I can live up to what you’re showing me.”

“Of course you will,” Ramuda choked out, “’cause I love you.”

“Ramuda,” Ichiro frowned in frustration, and a newfound energy spurred his hips into a thrusting marathon, “I love you too. Can we talk about this more after we –”

Ramuda liked the heavy pressure of Ichiro’s head on his shoulder, hearing that familiar whine in his ears. He loved having sex with Ichiro, the whole top or bottom or dom or sub debate was pointless – he loved having sex with his… boyfriend? and that was all that matters, whatever mood they were in. His arms wrapped around Ichiro’s shoulders, and bit his lip, praying that this would be the first of many more nights alone together.

Backlog Post: MG Spec-Ops Asuka Ep 4

Good to see you, friends!

I’m glad you stopped by. You see I think I’ve uncovered the secret as to why I’m so torn on this series, particularly in the writing department.

That’s right, Squeenix is involved. Don’t get me wrong I like a fair few of the Final Fantasy games. I really need to finish Bravely Default one day, and FMA is one of the godfathers of anime, but we all have to admit that Squeenix has a troubled history with good stories. Granted, they’re just the manga publishers so it’s not like they’re directly responsible for the writing, but the fact that their name is attached to a product where I’m iffy on the writing just makes too much sense to me.

Now at this point you may be wondering, “Fic, don’t you research the shows you plan to watch?”

To which I can only respond: “I’m a dragon living in an extra-dimensional library in need of occasional maintenance or else other realities start bleeding in,” followed swiftly by, “Of course I do research on the shows I want to watch. Would you like to see that research?”

And that’s how I came to watch Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka.

Synopsis: This episode is basically all about the world-plot all the time. Even in so far as the character plot is concerned so no extra synopsis this week. Essentially we pick up where we left off with Sporty having been kidnapped by the Babel Brigands. Things seem like they’re going to get right down to the action, but first we get a flash-back nightmare sequence!

[Cue Wayne’s World Flashback transition]

During the war Magical girl’s actually died. Including the original leader of the Magical Girl team who was named Francine. She actually died in Asuka’s arms since the group hadn’t found her in time for Stalker Nurse to do anything to help. She told Asuka to take over the team and remember that no matter how much horrible shit is in this world it also has beautiful things in it. It’s a really touching scene… Too bad the show doesn’t remember the “there are beautiful things too” bit.

[Flash forward]

So, you want to know what the response of the Police Brass’s response to the kidnapping of a high-ranking officer’s daughter happens to be? What with all the Magical nonsense going on and all you’d think maybe they’d have a response team for this sort of thing. Or maybe they’d open communication with the offending party and offer an exchange of hostages seeing as Mophead Mcterrorist is still kicking around. Or, you know, anything? They are Police even if they do have a different name. I presume they’re still there to protect and serve in some capacity even if that idea isn’t associated with the Japanese police the same way it is in the states. No, that’s not what happens at all.

When the concerned father comes to his superior about the situation concerning his kidnapped daughter what does she tell him?

Allow me to elaborate just a bit. Boss-lady here tells Sporty’s dad that they can’t go up against Mophead’s organization because of the risk they have more killer mascot kaiju which, fair enough, that makes sense. However, she then goes on to say that they can’t go running to the JSDF for help because this is too small an issue. BUT if they let this man’s DAUGHTER DIE then they can get a massive budget from the government which should somehow allow them to overcome giant killer plush-toys.

NO! BAD SHOW! You JUST got done telling us there was beauty in the world worth defending. Oh, right, my mistake you DIDN’T get done telling us that I skipped ahead a bit. No what really followed on the heels of the PTSDream was a scene of Sporty all trussed up while “I need Scissors 61” talks about ‘grilled meat’ a whole lot, and basically works to creep Sporty the fuck out.

Back to the failure of Bureaucracy: At the same time or very nearly to the meeting at the police headquarters, Asuka is being told about the situation and how the Police won’t be intervening. She asks what the super-special-magic combat squad for the SDF is going to do and Cyborg Dude’s all like, “Nothing we can’t act without a police request. BUT if a magical girl were to JUST HAPPEN to SHOW UP OF HER OWN VOLITION and a MAGICAL FIGHT were to break out then the incident might escalate to a point where we would be called on to intervene. HINT. HINT.”

So Asuka and Stalker Nurse say they’re going to head out and OH YEAH this is what I’m talking about. Give us half an epis-

What?

What!?

WHAT!?

Oh yes, friends, we get to spend 4-5 minutes of the episode in the basement with Heckel, Jeckel, “I need scissors 61”, while Sporty is tortured. I suppose I should be fair and say that a large portion of that time is filled with exposition on the villains. The most important tidbit being that this whole operation was aimed at luring out magical girls to take one captive in order to create what ‘I need scissors 61’ calls “A Girl of Mass Destruction”. HOWEVER, we’re still getting all this information while Sporty is stripped down to her… Sporty wear, tied to a wooden horse, and BEING FUCKING TORTURED! Even if it is in small bursts it’s still freaking chilling.

So yeah, we don’t get half an episode of the Magical Girls kicking terrorist ass to rescue their friend. Instead we get to see them take down a grand total of one doorknob, one wire trap, and three guards before they get to the trussed up Sporty.

‘I need scissors 61’ is all like, “Hello my dears I’ll be your transparently evil sadist for the evening. By the way I hope all the bondage and guro fetishists in the audience are getting off on what, for them, must amount to softcore.”

Asuka’s fires back with, “Okay, dirtbag, let our friend go and I won’t kill your ass then send the rest of you to kiss it in hell.”

“Let her go,” Says Scissor-bitch, “Why certainly.”

And she CUTS OFF SPORTY’S LEFT ARM! What grinds my gears the most is that she even makes the stupid fake-cutesy. “Woops I totally meant to cut the chains and missed. Tee-hee.”

So official psycho bitch orders the magical girls to put down their weapons or she’ll straight up decapitate the hostage, and at this point I’m SO happy that these are Magical Girls and not gritty Nineties military characters who would be like “go ahead, princess, make my day”. So Asuka makes a show of dropping her Karambit…. At which point the pair proceed to kick ass. Kurumi fires the massive needle-point on her primary weapon through ‘I need scissors 61’s shoulder pinning her to the wall and through a combination of swift action and a magical flashbang theys coop up Sporty sans one arm and make their getaway.

Naturally Runs-With-Scissors is pissed so she and the Ruski’s (Oh yeah the two people helping her torture an adolescent girl are Russian Mercenary Sorcerers) go and chase after the fleeing magical girls. Asuka stayed behind to try and hold them off, but of course Scissor-girl sics the Ruskis on her and chases after War Nurse on her own. We get a teensy bit more action and expository dialouge and that’s where the episode ends. Now I’ve got some serious…

Thoughts: Now to devil’s advocate it’s not wholly inappropriate that the torture scene take place. I’m bringing prejudice to the table based on what I expect out of a usual Magical Girl Show which is made for a MUCH DIFFERENT target demographic. Honestly along with more fanservice one should go into a Seinen show expecting more grim or edgy aspects to take the forefront. My problem is that those sorts of aspects don’t necessarily make a show more mature.

I guess I’ll never get over it, but Madoka was a perfectly mature take on the Magical Girl template that didn’t need a lot of edgy gory content or blatant spank material. This show seems to not know what the audience for it would want. I came into this thinking “Military Magical Girls in a series whose rating might allow them to actually show the horrors of war? That seems neat.” What I got was a post-war series that doesn’t seem to know if it wants to be about the trauma endured by what effectively child soldiers; a story about a war hero fighting to live a somewhat normal live while realizing the responsibility they have to keep fighting the good fight; pandering to the various circles who would find under-dressed young women attractive; softcore fetish porn; or any of a number of other things.

At the end of the day what did the torture scene serve? What purpose did it have? Was it important to the narrative that we see it? No… No it wasn’t. All it did was show us that one of the Ruski’s has a water Persona and the other likes to heat metal implements and is referred to as a chef. These are things that could have been exposited in combat, and I get that’s more a shounen thing but it doesn’t make the point any less valid. As for the explanation of what Babelfish wanted a Magical Girl for they could have moved that up to when Scissor-girl was tormenting Sporty with grilled meat earlier, or moved back to the classic villainous monologue after our heroes had arrived. If there had been even an iota of reason for the torture scene. Then I probably wouldn’t be this mad, because strong emotional reactions are what I look for to see if a piece of media is doing its job well. Getting angry at a story doesn’t immediately indicate that it’s bad. It’s when you’re mad for reasons other than those specifically written that we have a problem.

I didn’t see the torture scene this episode and think “Those monsters! I want to wring their necks!”

… Okay yes I did, but the problem is that I also asked a question: “Why is this here?”

Having a villain do an evil thing because they are wicked makes sense. SHOWING us them doing said evil thing has to have a narrative reason beyond just “Oh they’re the evil villain!”

Okay… I think I’m starting to repeat myself on that point so let’s talk about the other concern I have. The Flashback PTSDream implies that Asuka is driven to fight by the fact that despite how bad things can be there are still things worth protecting in the world. The problem, as I said in the synopsis, is that the show seems to have missed the memo on that. On the contrary the world is a place where young women get kidnapped and tortured, war heroes can’t get a good night’s sleep, and even the people who SHOULD be the good guys come across as evil schemers.

I know I skipped over the fact that the Police Lady and Cyborg-Scarface were actively manipulating Asuka and Stalker-Nurse into action, but so far as Sporty’s dad knows his boss is someone who’s willing to sacrifice a subordinate’s daughter to get a BUDGET BUMP!

If you’re going to stand on the premise that there are things worth protecting in the world you need to actually SHOW US THOSE THINGS!

“But, Fic, There’s Sporty and Bookish! They’re worth protecting!”

Yes, how very astute. Innocents ARE worth protecting. However, what about the WORLD makes it worth the Magical Girls’ efforts? Where is the beauty that Francine loved? We should have seen at least a sliver of it in this episode.

[Sigh] I stepped away from this post for a while to clear my head and I can’t come up with a positive note to end on. Oh well. I suppose we’ll just have to look forward to other things. Hopefully the future of this show will balance things out, but I know I’ll have fun digging my claws into it regardless.

That said: Until next post keep talking fiction, friends! I’ll see you soon.

P.S.: This week’s Spec-Ops will be posted later this evening. I need to take some time to myself first.
