Right. Called friend to ask her and her husband to come hangout tomorrow evening so i have someone to grocery shop with and help 'round the kitchen for meal prepping/cleaning out foods i can't have for the next month with a big pasta night dinner. Asking for help sucks when people have shamed you for it all your life but i promise you it is freeing and essential. She didn't even hesitate she just said yeah sounds great they'll be by after seeing another friend earlier in the day what can they bring. Sometimes it's that simple.
Gonna get dressed. Try and hold off a cry. Order a pizza. Pick up pre rolls. Pick up pizza. Come home. Have a smoke. Eat something. Watch Craig!bond probably. Call with Dec. In some order.
Somewhere in the mix have the big weighty cry i feel building.
Bath. Another smoke. Back to bed.

OBSESSED: NANAMI
A/N: So sorry this is getting reposted. Tumblr got glitch-y and it went away. Hopefully the second read around is just as enjoyable!!
C/W: Breeding, Mature. 18+
Tumblr media
“You’d make such a beautiful mother.”
Nanami comes up behind you, snaking his arms around your waist. He travels up your torso to cup your tender, swollen mounds spilling over his favorite tank top.
“Ken,” you whine and wince back into him.
You’re so focused on chopping vegetables, you let him grope you. No use fighting it. If you slapped his hands away they’d be back in less than a second. Magnets to your perfect frame.
You’re ovulating.
He knows it like clock work.
You become docile. With puffy, tender breasts. And so emotional. Tears flow at a harsh breeze, much less anything else. Forgetful. Flustered. You hang off of him like perfectly cooked Lamb off a bone.
You’re ovulating. His cock is hard nearly 24 hours a day when you’re supple like this.
“Oh goddamit,” the knife comes down, loud and shrill on the marble island.
Nanami bites back a grin, he knows whatever it is is inconsequential.
“What is it, my love?” His hands trail down to your stomach. Cock beating against his thigh thinking about how pretty it’ll look swollen with his seed.
You dive your face into your hands. Crystal tears flowing from your eyes through the slim spaces of your elegant fingers. Sparkling against the Diamond engagement ring. He pulls you in tighter, unashamed of his erection now digging into your back.
“I-I forgot, I forgot the stupid basil at the store and now dinner is ruined.” More sobs. You melt back into his arms. Absolutely devastated.
“Ahhh, yes. So ruined.” His gentle teasing opens the flood gates.
The Pacific Ocean flows out of you and he’s even more fond. More turned on.
“Ken!” You scold him, turn around and dive into the crook of his neck. All in one fair motion.
“I was trying to be a good fiancé. I wanted to make this perfect. And I can’t even I can’t —“
“Shhh.” Nanami lifts you onto him. You wrap your legs around his waist. Drenching his work shirt in diamond tears.
His back hits the couch, and you’ve calmed to just baby sniffles with his constant rubbing.
“Let me take care of it.” He rasps out. Not even trying to hide his strain. You nod and bring the back of your hand to your puffy eyes.
And this is why he wants to fill you with his cum. Keep you pregnant. Soft, open. Tender hearted. Your kids would be born from the purest love.
It’s a daydream that exists on cinematic repeat in his mind. How he could change the shape of your beautiful body. Round your hips. Swell your feminine torso. Fill your breasts with nourishment for the little one you create together. It makes his cock leak and twitch and lead pipe hard. At work. At the gym. While eating. When you’re like this. Like this. He feels like an animal. Insatiable. You bring out the most primal parts of him. To provide. Protect.
Procreate.
He dreams about you staying at home, nurturing your little family. Coming home to you nourishing the baby with your gorgeous, plump…
God.
He’d drop his pants and push his cock past your pretty lips at the same time. Feed you while you’re feeding the love child he put in you.
Your sugary, soft gasp tethers him to reality. Eyes fixed on his restrained dick, begging for release.
“Kento, you’re so…” your dulcet voice trails off and you palm his length through his pants.
Nanami hisses. Unashamed of the growing stain of his precum seeping through his khaki work slacks. Not the first time.
“Let me make you a mother, baby.” His voice grazes the shell of your ear and you shudder into him.
“Ken.”
So “stern” but you keep petting his dick in the way that drives him insane. “We can’t because I think I—“
“You’re ovulating.” He finishes your thought with a buck of his hips into your hand. Greedy for more touch. More warmth.
Fine, fine. You’ve already compromised with him to stop taking the birth control and track naturally. He won’t push it. Watching how your hormones ebb and flow within your body is a privilege, so he won’t push.
For now.
“Let’s get takeout, baby.”
(PART II)

IDEA
Mike vs. Spicy food
oh how weak i am for white boys
the food you cook isn't spicy. sure, there'll be an occasional chili flake added for a tiny bit of kick, but it's not spicy.
a little bit too much falls out of the container, though, pieces too small for you to recover. but you taste it and still find it mild, so you shrug it off and finish the meal.
the extra spices have no effect on abby, who gets through her entire plate with a shy smile that means she wants seconds. so your clumsiness hadn't ruined the dish; you breathe a sigh of relief.
it's not until mike comes home from work and fixes himself a plate that you worry, his loud coughs and red face sending you into a panic while he downs his cup of water. you think he's choked on his food until he asks how much spice you added - and the worry has dissolved into laughter.
mike doesn't appreciate your teasing, abby coming in to let him know that she had no criticisms of your dish - just to rub it in further.
"i'm not- it's delicious," mike insists, going in for a second bite. he focuses hard on the flavor rather than the way his mouth feels like it's been set on fire, chasing it down with cool water that only temporarily soothes.
"mike, don't force yourself," you chide, moving to take his plate.
"no, no-" mike is interrupted by his own coughing, his own throat betraying him.
you give him a knowing look and move to pull the food towards you; you were planning on eating some more with mike, anyway.
"it really is good," mike insists with a frown.
"it is," you quip. "too bad you have absolutely no spice tolerance."
"hey, i do!" mike scoffs. "i can eat that normally, and that's pretty spicy."
you stare at mike with a grin of disbelief, shaking your head. "mike, it's normally not spicy. like, at all."
mike's expression falls and you burst into laughter.
"okay, okay. can you eat hot chips?"
"don't like them."
"buldok noodles?"
"i think those would kill me."
"is it bad that i kind of want to see that?"
"you're the one who'd lose a boyfriend."
you laugh, loudly. "i can't believe i never knew this."
"okay, i'm not that bad." mike insists.
"worse than abby," you grin.
mike groans, dropping his face into his palms. "you're the worst."
you giggle. "i love you! and am never going to stop making fun of you!"
you pull mike's hands away from his face to give him a gentle kiss on his still-warm cheek. "you're cute."
mike bites back a smile, feigning indifference.
"my family is going to completely destroy you."
mike's smile drops.
Tumblr media
bonus:
"think you can handle a bite?" you hold up a small bunch of noodles covered in a dark sauce.
mike scoffs. they didn't look that bad. he nods, moving closer to let you feed him a bite.
he doesn't even get halfway through the bite.
"what... is that?" mike heaves out, racing for the ice cream in the freezer. he's shoving spoonfuls into his mouth as he hunches over the sink, breathing heavily. "it... feels like.... hell in... my mouth!"
mike shakes his head as you laugh, coming up behind him and rubbing his back.
"how can you eat that?" mike's voice is muffled through the mouthful of ice cream, his chest heaving as he tries to collect his breath.
you're having trouble catching your breath, too; all the laughing has winded you. "i'm sorry, i'm sorry," you gasp out, arms encircling mike's waist.
mike spins in your hold, facing you and wrapping his arms around you. "that was a murder attempt."
"you agreed to try!"
mike shakes his head and you reach for his face, wiping a little bit of ice cream residue from his lips. "aww, honey," you coo with a grin.
"you're mocking me."
"i'm not!" you laugh, but you're clearly not convincing. "i'll make it up to you."
mike hums, pressing his face in the crook of your neck. "i guess i accept."
you laugh again, quietly, kissing just under mike's ear softly.
"bland," you whisper softly.
"okay!" mike splits from you, your laughter echoing behind him as he heads to the bathroom. you'd only just caught your breath when you hear mike call:
"that stained my lips!"

— characters : my oc's - separate ! ( yandere!incubus - yandere!omega - yandere!high noble fae - yandere!piercer )
— content : x gender neutral reader - spending christmas with them, typical holiday fluff, the yandere-ness isn't really here ( expect for yan!omega )
— authors note : ... i haven't posted the introduction post for my yandere piercer but ! it's okay :) also ! this was supposed to be a lil bonus but writers block is kicking my ass so you get this
Tumblr media
• yandere! incubus
Before you he wasn't exactly big on doing christmas at home - he used to go out in bars and picked people up to go have 'fun' in the bathroom of the said bars.
After you came into his life, and he kidnapped you, he obviously stopped doing that and finally saw the perspective that christmas was a holiday to spent with thoses that are dear to you. And well, you were more than dear to him.
He will set up and decorate the christmas tree with you - he prefer for it to be neat so he may fix up what you put up when you aren't in the room.
In term of christmas eve, unless you are a good cook - you both are eating a regular take out for it, but he will purchase a yule log though !
And for christmas in itself, he will buy you a gift - you most likely will know what it is in advance because he isn't exactly discrete when asking what 'you could eventually want but it's only hypothetical and totally not for christmas'.
On the 25th of december, he will wake you up very early, like 6am. He will act surprised and happy whatever you gift him. Will jump into your arms and kiss you. And you better act surprised and happy at this gift too if you don't want him to be all grumpy.
• yandere! omega
Asper most likely forces you two to spent christmas like a 'regular' couple - except for the all hanging out outside and looking at the decorations or going to a christmas market. It maybe a holiday season but he cannot afford any risks or you leaving him.
He will try his best though. He will decorate the entire house to be christmas themed - in the hope that he may win a few points with you, after all yes. He may be holding you captive but hey, at least he made the house cute, he deserves something for that right ?
He'll try to make you forget for a moment your current situation - he is delusional enough to think that him trying to give you a sense of normalcy ( which he do mostly for himself ) may make you like him more - or forgive him a bit for kidnapping you.
He's the type to cook an entire christmas dinner and force feed you it - he will buy oysters force them down your throat, he will cook scallops and cut them in smalls bits and make you eat them while you are tied up to a chair, with red ropes, obviously.
• yandere! high noble fae
Christmas is not really a thing for faes, they have somewhat similar holiday, mostly focused around gift giving and spending time with your family but it happen during the summer and is quite underwhelming compared to christmas.
Realistically they already knew about christmas but they couldn't bring it first, they could wait for you to bring it up. But they already have prepared a few things like a gift for you and a small tree, it's in one of their closet which they forbade you from cleaning since you started working as a servant.
Once you bring up christmas, they laugh at your face and tell you something along the line of 'Do you really think, I could celebrate a silly human holiday ? How do you take me for ?' but it will be quickly followed by a 'Well, if you beg well enough I may indulge you.". Even if you don't beg, they will be very much in on celebrating christmas.
With only the two of you of course ! They refuses to get anyone else involved - with the exceptions of their family cook which they will give the tasks of cooking.
They use this as an occasions to make a ginger bread house, they saw various things about it while reading human literature and they always wanted to try so they will act as if they only did it for you. ( The house ended up breaking after 30 seconds and the kitchen they borrowed was such a mess, cleaning up was awful and they regret their idea - they still check it out of their list of thing to do. )
• yandere! piercer
Thomas was never big on christmas and it doesn't change with you - if you really insist in it he will try his best to be enthusiastic about it but don't expect too much from him.
He won't even help you decorate or anything - at most he will get you a gift for christmas that he won't brother wrapping up and will accompany you at a christmas market solely for the food, and because he does find it cute and romantic to walk around with you in the snow.

Orange Peel Theory
I've seen a couple of other writers do this for other characters, and I always think of Jack when I see this on TikTok. The theory states that if your partner peels an orange for you without being asked, it's a sign of true love. I think Jack would pass this with flying colors.
Tumblr media
You knocked your head back against the headrest and shut your eyes as the garage door closed, darkening the room. It was only 9am and you were already struggling to get through the day. You gripped the steering wheel, the rubber squeaking beneath your palms as you rubbed back and forth to try to release some of the tension in your shoulders.
The morning consisted of tears and snippy arguments with your family as you tried to get your daughter ready for pre-school with a baby on your hip, and a husband who seemed too distracted with his own career to notice that you needed help. It was taking everything in you not to drive away for a moment's peace, anything to allow you to take a breath. You took a second to collect yourself before heading inside.
You kicked off your shoes as you passed the front door, throwing your keys into the overflowing bowl of junk you kept on your hall table. Aaliyah's shrill cries flooded your ears as soon as you passed the threshold, her sounds of distress making you uneasy. You pinched the bridge of your nose to stave off a headache that was building at the base of your neck, your body aching with exhaustion. You walked deeper into the house, passing piles of toys and shoes, reminders of the chores that you had waiting for you when you returned.
"Babe, is that you?" Jack called out to you, and every muscle in your body tensed as you heard his voice. You just knew he was going to ask you to do something for him, like everyone else in your family did. They always needed something from you, and you weren't sure if you had anything left to give. You walked toward the sounds, finding him in the kitchen.
He stood over the sink, trying to wipe spit up off his new designer shirt, his phone balanced between his ear and shoulder. "Can you send me the contract? I wanna know what I'm signing." He nodded in your direction as he took his shirt off and left the kitchen to toss it in the laundry basket. You picked Aaliyah up, bouncing her on your hip as you began to clean up the table, remnants of a difficult morning strewn around the room.
Jack re-entered the kitchen in a clean shirt. "Sorry, I was trying to feed Liyah while you were gone and she spit up all over me. I don't think she likes the food you made her. Might need to try something different." You let out a sigh, trying to calm your breath. "She's liked it every other time I fed it to her. What's different now?" You didn't mean to sound so irritated, it just came out that way.
Jack took immediate offense. "I don't know, babe. She just didn't like it." His gaze was focused on his phone as he shot off text messages. "Don't wait for me to get home to have dinner, got a late night at the studio." He didn't even look up to gauge your reaction, and you were glad, because you knew you looked pissed off. "Okay", you groaned out, placing a few dishes in the dishwasher.
With the clutter at least out of the way, Aaliyah finally quiet with a bottle in her bouncer, and Jack leaning against the counter and occupied with work, you got that brief moment of silence you were so desperate for.
It was quickly over when you heard your stomach growl with hunger. In the rush of everything, you'd forgotten to eat breakfast.
Jack's let out a hum, the backlight reflecting on his face. "Did you eat anything yet?" You rolled your eyes as you crossed your arms over your chest, rubbing your hands up and down your arms. "No. Things got a little crazy this morning, it was the last thing on my mind."
Just the thought of cooking something was too tiring, so you searched the counter for leftovers from Brooklyn's breakfast, spotting an unpeeled orange on her plate she wasn't interested in eating. You lifted yourself onto the counter and grabbed the fruit, palming it in your hand for a second. You weren't sure where it came from, but the Orange Peel Theory you'd seen on TikTok popped into your head.
You'd seen videos of wives and girlfriends testing their partners by seeing if they would peel an orange for them without having to ask. If they did, they truly loved you, and if they didn't, you were an afterthought. It was a silly trend, and you knew it meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things, but you were curious.
You looked over at Jack, his messy, chestnut curls falling over his eyes. You knew he loved you, and even questioning it felt ridiculous. Everything around you was a product of the love you had for each other, including two beautiful daughters who carried the best of his features.
Still, sometimes, you felt like an afterthought, and right now, you needed a reminder of where you stood with him, for your own sanity.
You pressed your dull thumbnail into the thick skin of the orange, digging till you felt the flesh of the fruit on your fingertip. You purposely struggled to pull back the peel, letting out a soft grunt. That got Jack's attention, his head turning to look at you as he placed his phone on the counter.
He took in the sight of you, your shoulders slumped over, your hair an unintentional mess, how tired your eyes looked as you put all of your focus into the simplest task in front of you. You looked small, fragile, and while he thought the world of you, you were one of the strongest people he knew, always taking care of everyone and everything around you, right now, you needed someone to care for you. He felt a wave of guilt rush over him, his stomach turning. He'd been so preoccupied with his work; he was drowning in it, honestly, and didn't want you to worry, but he also neglected the most important person in his life.
"What do you wanna eat for breakfast?" He gave you a gentle smile as he took the orange from you, and used his manicured nail to begin peeling back the rind. "That's okay, Jack, I can do it myself." He ignored your protest, separating each segment on a plate and handing it to you. You took a bite, feeling your hunger immediately start to subside.
"Pancakes? Omelette? Or I can go run and get you something."
"Pancakes sound wonderful", you said with a grin, orange juice dripping down your chin. "Here, I've got it." Jack chuckled as he bunched his sleeve in his fist and wiped your chin. "Babe, that's your brand new shirt. You just bought it."
"I don't care", he shrugged. You chuckled as he put his hands on his hips and surveyed the kitchen, trying to think if he even knew how to make pancakes. He saw your brow knit together, holding up a hand to you. "Don't worry. I'm gonna figure it out. Just give me a minute."
You jumped off the counter, moving to wrap your arms around his waist, leaning against his chest. He rubbed your back, pressing a kiss to your temple. "I've got it babe. You passed the test."
Jack backed away, a confused look on his face. "What test?" You explained to him the TikTok trend, Jack's face dropping as he listened.
"Baby, if I ever made you second guess how much I love you, that's on me. I'm so sorry."
"Jack, baby, you didn't. I promise, I'm just overwhelmed by everything going on. Sometimes its a lot. I doubted myself, not you." You pressed a hand to his chest to reassure him. He grabbed at your fingers, pulling you into his body when you tried to walk away. "This only works because of you. All of it. My job, the girls, you are the glue that holds everything together. I am nothing without you, okay?"
You felt a lump build in your throat, tears beginning to brim in your lashes. "Okay", you croaked with a sob, pressing your forehead to his chest. "I love you, baby", Jack muttered against your hair. "I love you, too.", your voice squeaked.
"No more TikTok tests, alright?"
"Alright", you giggled as you wiped a tear off your cheek. "I had no doubt you would pass, though."
"We're just lucky it was only peeling an orange." Jack joked, tickling your sides. "If I had to actually cook something, or kill a spider for you, we'd be having a very different conversation right now."

Lusher and tatter being little shits and teasing Bada whenever they happen to hear her and reader fooling around like “man I REALLY had trouble sleeping last night…” bada being like 🤨 at first but when she does get what they’re referring to it she’s blushing while threatening to kill them 💀 and it’s not just bada- them teasing hyo too for having to stand outside wherever reader is and lusher being all like “doesn’t that bother you??” Tatter making it worse by saying “she’s probably into that kinda thing” and now hyo is all flustered too trying to defend herself 😭 (I’m sorry hyo I promise I want justice for you)
Ever since I made that meme of hyo from succumb to me this thought has been in my mind 😭
this would SO happen knowing lusher and tatter...
tw: very suggestive also please ignore any mistakes it's 2 am for me rn🤍 (this'll make sense after the drabble...🤭)
like for the first time in forever you, the bebe girls, and bada are all eating together like the little family you are. you'd somehow managed (it was so easy, all you had to do was ask) to persuade bada into eating breakfast with you and the girls and not in her office.
the second lusher and tatter realize bada's going to eat with them, they start glancing at each other, mischievous smiles growing on their lips. and almost as if they have telepathy, they both know what the other is thinking--
a plan starts to form.
...but really, it had all started last night.
lusher was laying in bed, cozied up under a heavy and warm blanket, scrolling on her phone before she went to bed. she was on instagram, going on her daily round of account check ups--making sure she hadn't missed any new posts from you or the other girls. she noticed you and minah uploaded new stories, and clicked on minah's first.
it was a picture of the delicious dinner you'd cooked for them. minah tagged you below the picture of the food, writing, "unnie is the best chef to exist, i'm grateful to have her in our home" with a heart-eye emoji. lusher smiles at the caption, about to press a heart on the story when a small sound grabs her attention.
a few giggles ring from the wall behind her bed, making her turn to look at it with a confused look.
she hears the sound again, though this time the noise is a bit clearer, and she's able to realize it's your voice. you're giggling from bada's bedroom, and saying something that lusher's not quite able to make out.
lusher stares at her wall for a second before shrugging, assuming you and bada must just be cuddling or doing something sweet together. she focuses back on her phone, realizing minah's story had timed out so she taps on it again--this time clicking the heart in the bottom right-hand corner.
she then gets distracted seeing some photos of socialites filling her feed. she scrolls through them, liking some posts--rolling her eyes at others before another sound startles her.
this time, a loud banging has lusher jumping out of bed, making her reach for her gun out of instinct. but then, she hears it.
a semi-clear moan makes it's way through the walls separating your and bada's room from lusher--your moan.
lusher's mouth drops out of instinct, her hand coming to slap over it.
again, your moan rings through her bedroom, and the sound of headboard slamming accompanies it. but this time, it doesn't stop.
the sound keeps coming from your bedroom, now only seconds of intervals between each slam, but they're so minuscule that lusher has no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"jesus unnie." lusher closes her eyes, trying to bite back a laugh at how incredibly loud the headboard slamming is. "i hope you can walk tomorrow."
after a few minutes she decides to ignore all the noise--despite how...passionate and blissful you sound. lusher opens her phone again, instagram popping up immediately. her eyes go to the top left corner instantly, and she catches your profile announcing that you had an unviewed story.
she clicks it out of curiosity, and what she sees makes everything click into place.
it's a picture of you and bada, although your wife isn't fully in frame. all lusher is able to see is her arm wrapped around you and under your breasts in a back hug type of position. but what grabs her attention most of all is you.
you're wearing the most flattering dress lusher has ever seen. white straps and silky fabric barely hold onto your breasts, the sides of them popping due to bada's arm under you. although the picture is scandalous in nature, you're smiling widely, your eyes closed as you lean into bada's chest, looking like a sweet angel in white.
the small caption you'd added to the bottom of the photo reads, "date night" with a white heart emoji.
lusher chuckles, nodding. "yeah, makes sense."
she hearts the story, then swipes up to message you. she writes, "i can tell bada loves the dress. or more like she loves taking it off of you."
right when she sends the cheeky dm, a notification ding grabs her attention. effectively blocking out the sounds of your moans, lusher clicks on the notification.
she's transported into her messaging app, tatter's contact photo in the middle of the chat. she reads her text and quickly responds back.
Tumblr media
lusher smirks at her text, seeing tatter's grey bubble pop up, indicating she's typing.
Tumblr media
lusher hears another of your moans before she quickly types back.
Tumblr media
lusher smirks at her friend's message. they continue texting back and forth, each of them giggling inside their respective rooms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
one of your particularly loud moans penetrates through lusher's wall, making her release a long breath.
Tumblr media
...and a chance did they get.
--
lusher starts out simple, dropping slight hints.
"tatter, you look a little tired, are you alright?" she says, her voice dripping with fake sincerity.
you look up from your plate, eyebrows furrowed in slight worry as you cast your gaze onto tatter.
"i'm fine. i just didn't get much sleep last night." tatter says wistfully, biting back a smile.
"oh i totally understand, neither did i with all the noise coming from next door." lusher nods, eyeing you and bada not-so subtly.
you give lusher a look of confusion before it clicks in your mind and you instantly look away from her and tatter, your entire body burning with embarrassment.
bada seems to have finally tuned into the conversation because shifts her focus away from her breakfast to speak up. "what are you talking about? we don't have neighbors."
"we mean there was a lot of noise coming from the bedroom next to ours." tatter clarifies, finding it even more amusing that bada isn't picking up on their joke.
the other bebe girls however, although they were not clued into the plan nor did they hear the noise last night, all seem to understand what lusher and tatter are talking about. they all start to whisper to each other and snicker.
...all expect two girls. soweon and hyo.
"i didn't hear anything." soweon speaks up in between bites of her breakfast. "maybe it was a dream?"
"oh definitely not. the sounds were very realistic, there's no way we could have both dreamed them up." lusher shakes her head, a full-blown grin overtaking her lips.
you shift uncomfortably in your seat before grabbing your phone and unlocking it, hoping to distract yourself from the embarrassing conversation.
expect, it's then you realize lusher had dm'd you late last night. you click her chat and instantly shrink in your seat, hiding your face behind your hands.
bada, always attentive of you and your mood notices, and turns to look at you. "honey? are you okay--"
before your wife can say anything else, you shove your phone in her face, showing her lusher's dm.
as her eyes scan the message, the image, and the timestamp, her cheeks slowly but surely turns bright red--whether it's out of embarrassment or anger, you're not sure.
"you perverts." bada sends lusher and tatter disgusted looks while she she pats your back in comfort and brings you into her chest to shield you from the girls' view.
"you're the pervert!" lusher argues back playfully. "again and again all we heard was--" she bangs her fist against the dining room table, imitating the headboard slamming from last night.
"enough, seoyoung." bada scolds her subordinate, giving her a disapproving look. "you're making my wife uncomfortable."
"actually," tatter cuts in, her smile so wide that even lusher is anxious to hear what she says next. "the biggest pervert here is hyo." she points her finger at your bodyguard, who had become uncharacteristically quiet, and was keeping her head down the entire conversation.
"tatter..." hyo finally mumbles, a red tint staining her cheeks. "i'm serious--"
"she was standing outside the entire time, listening!" lusher exclaims, giggling.
hyo flounders, feeling all pairs of eyes on her. bada's in particular is the most heated, making her sweat in fear. "it's my job!"
"your job is to hear your boss fucking your other boss?"
"be honest, you're into that type of stuff--"
"oh my god." you squeak into bada's chest, wanting to crawl into a hole and die.
chaos finally erupts at the table, hyo trying to defend herself against both lusher and tatter's accusations while also trying to ignore the fact that bada has yet to move her eyes off of her--death is most likely imminent and will be swift, yet painful--while cheche and kyma laugh their asses off, minah focusing on plugging soweon's ears to keep her from hearing the genuinely unhinged things lusher and tatter are saying.
but sometime through the bickering, lusher breaks off and sneaks over to you and bada, grinning like an idiot.
"so tell me unnie, can you still walk after last night?"

Buddy Daddies Drama 4
*Puts down box*
Kazuki: Okay! Now all of our stuff has been moved into our place. Ah, thank Kyuu-chan. On top of finding us a place, we even asked you to help us move.
Kyuutarou: Well, I'm too involved to stop now. So? How do you feel about the place?
Miri: It's smaller than our old place, isn't it, Rei-papa?
Rei: Yeah... and the TV has gotten smaller too...
Miri: So our mori kart cars have gotten smaller too!
Kazuki: Hey, don't be playing games when you should be unpacking. Besides, I think this is the perfect size for 3 people to live cozily. 
Kyuutarou: You're living quite a bit further away than you were at your old place, but the further you are the more difficult it will be for the eyes of the organization to spot you.
Kazuki: Yeah... Well, from what Rei says it doesn't seem like his father is straining his eyes looking for us either.
Kyuutarou: Even if that's the case, there's no mistaking that you sullied the name of the Suwa family. Try to lay low until the heat dies down.
Kazuki: Got it.
Kyuutarou: So? What are you planning on doing from now on?
Kakuzi: Hmm... for now we're going to live off our savings and get Miri into a new preschool... and then after that we'll look for jobs I guess.
Kyuutarou: I see. Do your best for Miri-chan too.
Kazuki: Yeah. Thanks for everything.
Kyuutarou: If you ever need anything, feel free to contact me.
Miri: Kyuu-chan, bye bye!
Kyuutarou: *Laughs and leaves*
Kazuki: Okay! Miri, Rei! Time to get excited for our new life! Let's hurry and put things away and have some move in soba!
Miri/Rei: Yeah!
****************
Kazuki: This one.... mmm.... the pay is too low... This one isn't bad but the hours aren't great... Hm? Drug trials? Hmmm! So in just two weeks I can make that much by just taking medicine and sleeping? It's not bad but...
Rei: Kazuki, have you found a job?
Kazuki: Rei, if I said I was going away for work for two weeks... what would you do?
Rei: Huh? Meaning you wouldn't be here at all for two weeks?
Kazuki: Yeah. You'd need to wake Miri up, feed her breakfast, change her, take her to preschool, come back home, clean, do laundry, make food, go pick her up, give her a bath, feed her dinner, play with her, read her a book, get her ready for tomorrow, wake her up the next day, for 14 days. All by yourself. 
Rei: N-Nope. Not yet.
Kazuki: I figured. So nothing away from home for now. But our savings is going to run out soon so we seriously have to start working soon or we'll be in trouble. And you can't even move one of your arms...
Rei: I thought there would be many jobs I could do with only one arm... but it's surprisingly hard.
Kazuki: In your case it's not just your arm, you're also unsociable. Your interview the other day was awful, wasn't it?
****************
Interviewer: Do you have any special skills, Suwa-san?
Rei: Special skills...? I'm familiar with handling guns. Including disassembly. I won't let anything I target get away.
Interviewer: Y-You mean... airguns, right?
****************
Rei: I didn't have anything else to say.
Kazuki: Well, since you've been a NEET for so long I figured having you suddenly return to society would be a high hurdle. We're about to run out of our savings. We seriously have to work or it will be bad. But there's something that would be even worse than that. 
Rei: Something worse than that?
Kazuki: If I'm the only one working then you'd have to do all the housework yourself. You've recently learned how to hang clothes up to dry but for everything else you suck. You're completely useless! At this rate this room is sure to become a pigsty. And it'll be bad for raising Miri! So now we're going to hold "Rei's special training week focusing on housework!"
Rei: Special training?
Kazuki: I've been going easy on you because I thought you couldn't move your right arm but now I'm going to become a monster! A cooking, laundry, and housework monster! 
Rei: I really can't move my right arm though...
Kazuki: Shut up! Despite that you've gotten even better at mori kart than before, haven't you!? Miri told me! She said you set a new record the other day!
Rei: I was so happy I did a victory pose without even thinking about it.
Kazuki: And so! We're going to use that effort on housework! Who are the ones taking care of Miri?
Rei: You and... me.
Kazuki: And what else is there to taking care of her besides playing with her...?
Rei: Taking her to school and back, housework, laundry...
Kazuki: That's right! So now we're going to do special training and drill you until you're able to do all of those things on your own!
Rei: Geh...
Miri: Papas! What are you doing?
Rei: Miri...
Kazuki: Mm! I'm going to be giving Rei special training now!
Miri: Special training?
Kazuki: Umm... it means he's going to try hard to become able to do things he can't do right now.
Miri: I understand! He's doing a training journey! I saw it on TV!
Kazuki: Oh, you're amazing Miri! That's right! A training journey!
Rei: I didn't say I was going to-
Miri: So, Rei-papa is doing a training journey?! That's so cool!
Rei: I'll do it.
Kazuki: Okay, then starting today until you become a functioning adult I'll be your boss. What do you say?
Rei: Yes. Boss.
Miri: Yes, boss!
Kazuki: Mmm! You both gave good responses. Let's start!
**************
Kazuki: This is how Rei's training began.
Kazuki: Okay, everything about cleaning is important. Let's start with vacuuming. 
Kazuki: Don't skip the corners! Your target likes to lurk in the corners!
Rei: The corners!
Kazuki: In places with running water you're in a constant battle with water droplets! You must have an iron determination to never allow limescale!
Rei: O-Okay!
Kazuki: Miri's room is the most important location! You have to make sure to diligently vacuum and use the lint roller to protect against dust allergies!
Rei: I'm... tired...
Kazuki: We're not done yet! Next is laundry! 
Kazuki: You need to memorize the differences between pods and regular detergent and learn how to use laundry nets! There's things to wash every single day!
Rei: There's too many things to remember!
Kazuki: Learn how to separate the garbage and when the garbage truck comes! And on top of that check which stores have the cheapest bags that won't break!
Rei: *Panting*
Kazuki: It's important to learn how to write in the preschool correspondence notebook, but your most important mission is learning to exchange messages with the mom friends! The smooth exchange of information is essential to surviving in the world of child raising!
Rei: I-... *falls down on ground* I can't do it anymore... This is way more physically and mentally exhausting than fighting... I've never experienced training like this before... 
Kazuki: Stand up, Rei! You've still got to wash the rice.
Rei: I'm at my limit. I want to eat chips, hide in my room, and play games.
Kazuki: Ah... oh no... he has dead eyes. Hey, Rei! Keep going! Miri's watching
Miri: Rei-papa's training journey is so cool!
Rei: I'm going... to wash... the rice!
Kazuki: Oh! There's a light in his eyes! Miri, keep on cheering him on like that.
Miri: Okay! Rei-papa! Do your best! Do your best!
Rei: What is this power rising within me? I can do it! I can do it!
Miri: Rei-papa stood up!
Kazuki: Yes! That's it Miri! That was even more effective than I expected! Okay! 
*******************
Kazuki: Rei's special training continued even while I was at work.
Rei: Hmm... cleaning takes a while with only one arm... I'll put the last glass here...
*Glass shatters*
Miri: Rei-papa!
Rei: Miri! Don't come over here! 
Miri: *Whines*
Rei: I dropped a glass so it's dangerous.
*Rei attempts to pick up glass*
Rei: I can get the big pieces... but the smaller ones... I guess a broom and dustpan?
*Gets out broom and dustpan and starts sweeping*
Rei: I can't hold both of them with one arm... I guess I'll just have to wait till Kazuki comes home?
Miri: Rei-papa!
Rei: Miri, it's dangerous so don't get-... 
*Miri holds the dustpan*
Rei: You...
Miri: I'll hold the dustpan, okay?
Rei: Oh... thank you, Miri.
Miri: *giggles*
*Sweeping*
Rei: Okay. Perfect.
Miri: Perfect! Papa! High five!
Rei: Yeah!
Miri: YAY!
*High fives*
Rei: *Laughs*
*******************
Kazuki: We're now going to hold your final test! The challenge is to make my special french toast all by yourself!
*Rei cooking*
Rei: Now!
*Flips toast*
Kazuki: His flipping timing is perfect!
Miri: Perfect!
Rei: Done.
Kazuki: Itadakimasu
Miri: Itadakimasu!
*Everyone eating*
Rei: How is it?
Kazuki: It's good. It's seriously good! This is so good you could serve it in a restaurant!
Rei: *Laughs excitedly*
Miri: Rei-papa's french toast is good!
Rei: Miri!
Kazuki: And it's not just his french toast! He's able to clean and do laundry perfectly too! I think it will be fine leaving the house to him now.
Rei: No, not yet.
Kazuki: Huh? No, you don't need to be that worri-
Rei: I feel like I haven't selected the best bread for french toast yet.
Kazuki: Huh?
Rei: I realized when I was practicing, different breads have different textures. Rather than the one from the grocery store, the one from the bakery in town is more suited for absorbing moisture.
Kazuki: No... you don't have to be that picky...
Rei: And the eggs. Today I just used 10 that were on sale, but I wonder what would happen if I used more expensive eggs? Also depending on the way you mix it the texture changes. But that's obvious isn't it? If there's different amounts of air.
Kazuki: Hey... Rei...?
Rei: I also want to test the coffee that goes with it. I want to use a coffee grinder with a proper pour over and make the best cup of coffee!
Kazuki: Wait, wait, wait!
Rei: Actually I already ordered a coffee making set online.  
Kazuki: Hey!
Rei: It seems like it's here.
Kazuki: Huh.....? What's going on?
Miri: Rei-papa looks like he's having fun!
Kazuki: Hey, Miri. Go tell Rei-papa to cool it.
Miri: Huh? But...
Rei: Okay.
Miri: I'll help!
Kazuki: Hey, hey. Don't bother Rei-papa...
Rei: Thanks.
Kazuki: Huh?
Rei: I'll open the big boxes and you can open the small ones. We'll split the work between us.
Miri: Okay!
Miri: I opened it! Yay!
Rei: Yay!
*Rei and Miri high five*
Kazuki: You're doing high fives? You've gotten so close...
Rei: Miri, you can open that one too.
Miri: Okay!
Kazuki: *Laughs* I can leave the house in peace like this.
Miri: I opened it!
Rei: I opened this one too. You did well, Miri. 
Miri: *Giggles*
Kazuki: I can do it in peace.... but... it feels weird... like I'm going to lose my place.
Miri: Hey, papa! I want to play Mori Kart!
Rei: After we finished putting away these boxes, okay?
Miri: Okay!
Kazuki: Miri, would you like to play with me? Mori kart?
Rei: Kazuki?
Kazuki: I'll play with Miri!
Miri: With Kazuki-papa?
Kazuki: That's right!
Miri: Hmm... I don't want to!
Kazuki: Huh? But you said you wanted to play...
Miri: You're bad at games so it'd be boring!
Kazuki: EH!?
Miri: I prefer Rei-papa!
Rei: Hmm! So she says!
Kazuki: *Screams* At this rate I'll lose my parental respect...
Kazuki: Rei!
Rei: Hm?
Kazuki: Please! Give me special training! I want to be good at games!
Rei: But aren't you going to work?
Kazuki: I'll work too! So let me game! I'll keep my respect as a parent through games!
Rei: Okay. But games aren't that easy. Sometimes they're even harder than being an assassin.
Kazuki: Huh? Really?
Rei: You look down on games. If you're serious I won't go easy on you.
Kazuki: Eh? Okay! I'll beat your record!
Rei: Okay. Then I'll train you. You should say "Okay, boss" to me.
Kazuki: Eh? ...Okay... boss...
**************
Kazuki: And so then my days of special training, so tough I could vomit blood, along with working began...
Kazuki: At night I'm working at a construction site, a bartender, and a cleaner and during the day it's mori kart! I'll fly through both of these tasks with ease!
Rei: You pressed the brake too late!
Kazuki: Damn it! One more time! Ugh...
Rei: Don't just drive around randomly. Remember the course and the shortcuts.
Kazuki: Guh! 
*crash*
Kazuki: Ehh?!
Rei: You used your item too late.
Man: Hey, newbie! That's some messy-...!
Kazuki: *Shouting*
Man: He's fired up...
*Crash*
Kazuki: Ah...
Rei: That was a close race. It's proof you don't have the specs of each kart memorized. I told you that the day before yesterday too.
Kazuki: *Growls*
Woman: Kahlua milk please
Kazuki: Okay, Okay, Okay! Here you go!
Woman: Wah...? ...Thanks...
*crash*
Rei: You needed to take the shortcut there and use your item.
Kazuki: Oh.
Rei: By the way, I told you that last week. Remember it!
Kazuki: *Sobs*
*Scrubbing*
Kazuki: *Panting and shouting* 
Woman: Hold the mop right! You're not cleaning at all!
Kazuki *Sobbing and shouting*
Rei: Why are you breaking like that at the last cur-... 
Kazuki: *Snoring*
Rei: Hey!
Kazuki: Ah! I'm not sleeping. I'm not sleeping.
Rei: That's enough for today.
Kazuki: Don't be ridiculous! We've barely done anything today!
Rei: This isn't a game you can win while sleep-driving. Don't underestimate it.
**************
Miri: I'm home!
Rei: I'm home.
Miri: Hmm... Kazuki-papa isn't home today, either...
Rei: Well, he has work
Miri: Oh... work... it can't be helped!
Rei: Miri...
**********
Rei: Welcome home
Kazuki: *groans*
Rei: Hey!
Kazuki: Huh? Oh sorry... training right? Training...
Rei: We're not doing that today.
Kazuki: Why?
Rei: Go look in a mirror. Your face looks awful.
Kazuki: *Laughs* This isn't anything...
Rei: During the day you're training for mori kart, and at night you're doing night shifts. When are you sleeping? 
Kazuki: This... isn't-....
*Passes out*
Rei: Kazuki!
*Rei runs*
*Ambulance sirens*
***********
Kazuki: Where am I?
Rei: The hospital.
Kazuki: Ah! Rei!
Rei: You overworked yourself. They said after that IV is finished you can go home. 
Kazuki: Oh I see... passed out. I'm sorry.
Rei: I'm not the one you should apologize to. Say it to Miri.
Miri: *Snoring*
Rei: Even though I said you'd be fine she wouldn't leave your bedside and fell asleep while holding your arm.
Kazuki: *Laughs* So that's why my right arm feels heavy...
Miri: *groans* Papa...
Kazuki: I'm so pathetic... now that I think about it I was so focused on the game I didn't talk to Miri much... I'm really doing everything backwards.
Rei: It's okay even if you can't game.
Kazuki: Hm?
Rei: I'm gonna go home now. I need to clean. I'll leave Miri to you. 
Miri: *wakes up* Hm?
Kazuki: Miri, are you awake?
Miri: Kazuki-papa? Eh? Ah! Are you better now?!
Kazuki: *Laughs* Yeah! Completely! Seeing your face gives me 100 times more energy! Thank you.
Miri: *Giggles* Yeah!
Kazuki: I'll make you anything you want today as a thank you! What would you like?
Miri: Hmm... French toast!
Kazuki: Okay got it! ...is what I want to say but... Rei's is better than mine so you should get him to make it.
Miri: No. Today I want yours, Kazuki-papa!
Kazuki: Huh?
Miri: Rei-papa's french toast and your french toast are both the best in the world!
Kazuki: Ah... I see
***************
Everyone: Itadakimasu!
*Everyone eats*
Rei: Your french toast and mine really do taste a little different.
Kazuki: Hm? Well, the recipe was the same... but differences in cooking styles might make some difference in taste.
Rei: You learn a lot when you make it yourself. How hard it is...
Miri: Both of them are good!
Rei: and the happiness it gives.
Kazuki: I realized something too.
Rei: What?
Kazuki: When I'm doing night shifts, I can't spend time eating with you and Miri like this.
Ri: Ahh...
Kazuki: I'm going to stop taking night shifts. Nothing is more important than time with family! ...but we still have to think of what to do for a job. How do you even choose a job?
Rei: We don't even really have the option of being choosy.
Kazuki: Right...?
Rei: What about a house cleaning service?
Kazuki: Well it's not like we couldn't but.... Hmm... What about doing background checks?
Rei: I don't really want to leave the house. It would decrease my time with Miri.
Kazuki: Man, you... *sighs* What should we do?
Miri: *Happily eating*
Kazuki: Seeing her smiling face makes our troubles seem like nothing.
Rei: Miri, is it good?
Miri: Yeah!
Kazuki: We have enough for seconds! Do you want some?
Miri: I want it! But...
Rei: But?
Miri: I want to eat with everyone!
Kazuki: Everyone?
Miri: Yeah! Like Anna-chan, Kotori-chan, Hinata-chan, Taiga-kun and my friends at my new preschool! Everyone! I'm sure they'd all think it was good and be happy!
Rei: I see... then how about we make a whole bunch next time and invite everyone?
Miri: YAY!
Rei: If we invite the mom friends then it should make exchanging information smooth, right, Kazuki?
Kazuki: Everyone? Everyone! That's it!
Rei: What?
Kazuki: We should open a restaurant! Like Kyuu-chan! I can cook! And if it's french toast then you can make it perfectly. Besides, we've already got all the best equipment for coffee!
Rei: Hmmm... if the restaurant and our house are in the same place then we can always be with Miri.
Kazuki: What do you think, Rei?
Rei: It's not bad.
Kazuki: Okay! Then it's decided! Miri, we're opening a restaurant!
Miri: We're playing restaurant?
Kazuki: Not playing! A real one!
Miri: Rei-papa is unsociable so we can't!
Rei: Wha! Miri... where did you learn that?
Miri: Kazuki-papa says it! Unsociable!
Kazuki: W-well... we can do something about it with special training!
Rei: Ehh? Special training again?
Kazuki: Yeah, on days when you don't have housework.
Miri: It's okay, Rei-papa! I'll cheer you on lots!
Rei: Yeah... then I can probably do it.
Kazuki: Okay! So then where should we start? Should we start with a name?
Rei: No, shouldn't we find a location for it first?
Miri: I think there should be pictures on the wall at the restaurant! Should I draw some?
Kazuki: Yeah, please, Master Artist Miri! Ahh... Do we need to go to some government office to get permits?
Rei: Government offices again? I hate them.
Miri: It's okay! You just tell them to do as you say!
Kazuki: That's right! It will work out!
***************
Kazuki: Th-Thank you for waiting.
Rei: Here's your french toast and coffee... sir.
Kazuki: Eat up, Kyuu-chan!
Kyuutarou: Ita-
Kazuki: How is it?
Rei: Is it good?
Kyuutarou: I haven't eaten yet.
Kazuki: Ahh, right! Sorry.
Kyuutarou: Itadakimasu
Rei: It makes me nervous to have someone other than Kazuki and Miri eat it.
Kazuki: Well, he is a pro... and I don't think we'll be open long if we can't get approval from our peers... So how is it Kyuu-chan!?
Kyuutarou: Well... first of all, Kazuki. 
Kazuki: Yes!?
Kyuutarou: Your face is stiff and creepy. Stop fake smiling at the customers to try to flatter them.
Kazuki: Eh!?

Jack Of All Trades - USWNT/Reader
prompt: based off of an incorrect quote from @incorrectnwsl; Emily Sonnett: No one likes a show-off. Kelley O’Hara: Unless what they're showing off is dope as fuck. Emily: [under her breath] Fuck. That's true.
warnings: none
words: 2122
also, a note, i literally speak none of the languages that is used in this fic so i have no idea if i used the correct grammar or words as i have used a translator.
Tumblr media
(Y/N) POV
“You’re a really good cook, you know that?” Kelley said.
I looked up at her from where I was cleaning up in the kitchen.
“You are more than welcome to take some with you,” I assured her. I motioned to where the gumbo was still sitting. “There’s more than enough there. I honestly probably made enough to feed more than my family.”
“But who taught you how to cook?” Kelley asked.
“I grew up cooking with my grandparents,” I shrugged. It wasn’t something that I had really sought out. It was just one of those things that had happened. “I loved getting to cook with them. They always cooked for our family get togethers and we were always there early. I eventually asked if I could start helping and they let me.”
“Can you get traded to Washington and come be my personal chef?” Kelley asked. I shook my head at that cause I was perfectly happy playing at Gotham. “Sonny, come convince (Y/N) that she needs to move to Washington.”
“It would be pretty awesome if you joined us,” Sonny said from her spot at the island. I rolled my eyes at that. “We could all play in Washington together. Kelley and I on the back line and you up front. Would be pretty sick.”
“You just want me there so I can cook for you.”
“I mean, yes, but like no?” Sonny said. I shook my head at that because I knew that she did want me to cook for her more if I ended up moving to play for Washington. “Like it would just be fun to have you there in Washington anyways.”
“Well, you can count it out,” I said as I placed most of the dishes I needed to clean into my sink. “I’m staying with Gotham. You two will just have to get over it and come visit me to get my cooking instead.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Who’s playing?” 
I could hear the voice outside of the door ask. I didn’t pay it much mind though as I focused on hitting the right keys. Although, I wasn’t sure as to why I was so worried about messing up. I had been able to play this piece from memory for years now.
“Is there anything (Y/N) can’t do?”
My fingers slipped at that causing me to press all of my fingers down to create a horrendous crashing sound. I looked over my shoulder at my teammates as I sent them a glare.
“Will you all shut up?” I asked. A few of them made their way into the room. “It’s quite hard to focus when you have so many people talking and you’re trying to focus.”
“What were you playing?” Becky asked.
“I had made it all the way to Scarbo,” I said. I noticed her confused look at that. “It’s the third part to Gaspard de la nuit. It’s by Ravel.”
“I didn’t know you knew how to play the piano,” Christen said. I looked over at her and nodded my head. “How long have you been playing?”
“Since I was a little kid. Longer than I’ve been playing soccer,” I admitted. It was true. “I didn’t even stop my piano lessons until I left for college. This was one of the concert pieces I became good at.”
“Is it hard?”
“Is it hard?” I repeated. “You basically have to solve endless quadratic equations in your head while you play it. Is it hard. Unbelievable.”
“Can we hear it?” Becky asked.
I sighed but nodded. The rest of the group moved to take a seat around the room as well. I tuned them out as I focused on the piece.
Once I had finished the piece, many of my teammates clapped. I only sent them a smile. 
“I can’t believe you played that from memory,” Sonny said.
“Like I said, I’ve been playing piano longer than I’ve been playing soccer,” I shrugged. It was just something I had developed a talent for. “I was playing this piece of nearly four years before I stopped taking lessons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played it now.”
“But for real, is there anything you can’t do?” Kelley asked.
“Guess you’ll just have to find out.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Ooooh, here’s a good one,” Sonny grinned. She glanced between myself and Tierna. “Does (Y/N) know any other languages other than English and if so, how many?”
Tierna stared at me as I nodded. She knew this. I knew that Tierna knew this. I wrote down the number myself.
“Wait,” I said. Sonny turned to look at me. “Wait, wait wait. I have a question. Is this languages that I like know? Or does it include any languages I’m also learning?”
“That’s a good question,” Sonny said. She looked down at the paper in her hand. “I’m not sure. I guess the languages you know, but if Tierna can get the ones you’re learning then it’s an extra point.”
“That’s not fair,” Kelley whined. I rolled my eyes at her as I changed the answer. “They’re rooming together so Tierna gets to hear (Y/N) practicing.”
“Get over it, Kelley,” Tierna said as she wrote on her board. “Okay, I think I have this right.”
“Okay, on three,” Sonny said. Tierna and I nodded to each other. “One, two, three. Go!”
Tierna and I turned our boards around and I immediately looked at her board.
“Noooo,” I groaned when I saw the number. “One too high.”
“At least I got the one you’re learning right,” Tierna pointed out. She was right about that. I was currently learning Arabic. “At least I got that point.”
“Can you name the four languages that (Y/N) knows, Tierna?” Sonny asked.
This was challenging since Tierna had over guessed how many languages I knew. But I did have hope that Tierna could get it right.
“Okay, I know you know Spanish, I’ve heard you talking in Spanish a lot,” Tierna listed. I nodded at that because that was true. “You also did play in France and so I know that you did learn French. You knew you were going to go to France your senior year and so you spent the year learning French.”
“Oooooh,” I hummed. Sonny turned to me. “That is two of the four.”
“I wanna hear you speak Spanish and French now just to prove it,” Kelley said. I rolled my eyes at that because Kelley had heard me speaking both languages before.
“Ooooh, yes,” Sonny agreed. I shook my head at that. “You have to repeat what I say but in each of the four languages. Let’s start with Spanish. ‘She was between a rock and a hard place.’“
“Ella estaba entre la espada y la pared,” I repeated back to Sonny in Spanish after a moment.
“If anyone watching this video knows Spanish, tell us in the comments whether or not that was correct,” Sonny said as she turned to look at the camera before turning her attention back to me. “Now for French. ‘She won the challenge against all odds.’“
“Elle a remporté le défi contre toute attente,” I said this time in French after I thought about it.
“Again, viewers, I’m relying on you guys to tell me if (Y/N) is actually saying these things correctly,” Sonny said as she looked at the camera. “Tierna, we are still missing two languages.”
“You also know Japanese,” Tierna said. I nodded at that because it was true. “You learned it when we were teenagers so you could watch anime without subtitles.”
My jaw slacked at that. I hadn’t expected for Tierna to rat me out like that.
“Tierna, you weren’t supposed to tell anyone that,” I said as my face heated up. I turned to the camera. “You guys are cutting that out. I’m serious, the world is not gonna know that it’s actually true.”
“Did you really only learn Japanese to watch anime without subtitles?” Alex asked.
“Shut up, Alex.”
“Okay, okay,” Sonny said as she held up her hands. “Now we have to hear something in Japanese. ‘You cannot alter your fate, my prince. However, you can rise to meet it if you choose.’“
“Isn’t that a quote from Princess Mononoke?”
“Shut up and translate it, (Y/N).”
“Okay, okay,” I said as I held my hands up. “王子様、あなたの運命を変えることはできません。ただし、必要に応じて立ち上がることができます。”
“Okay, that one I really do want to make sure was quoted correctly,” Sonny said as she pointed at the camera. I rolled my eyes at that. “Do you know the fourth and final language, Tierna?”
“I’m drawing a blank,” Tierna shook her head. I groaned cause Tierna had been doing so good.
“You know this,” I said. Tierna looked over at me. “Come on, T, we were roommates in college. You know this.”
“Oh. Oh! OH! It’s, um... It’s German. It’s German!”
“Is that your final answer,” Sonny asked Tierna. Tierna nodded at that. “All right, (Y/N)?”
“It is German. I studied it in college. I can’t believe it took you that long. You used to literally hold my notecards,” I said to Tierna.
“Listen, I wasn’t concerned about learning it with you,” Tierna said.  “Oh, you should say that pick-up line you would always use when we were teenagers. What was it?”
“Do you mean, ‘You know what you would look wonderful in? My arms’?” I asked Tierna. She nodded and I groaned at that. “Weißt du, worin du wunderbar aussehen würdest? Meine Arme.“
“And that actually translate to your pick up line?” Sonny asked. I nodded in confirmation.
“Dude, is there really anything you can’t do?” Kelley asked.
“Guess you’ll just have to stick around and find out.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Did you just land a toe flip?” Tobin asked causing me to turn my skateboard around to look at her. I nodded in confirmation. “Dude, I didn’t even realize you could skateboard.”
“So now you can skateboard?” Sonny asked me. 
“Jealous of everything I can do yet?” I asked her. I knew that Sonny and Kelley had both been amazed at everything that they had been learning that I could do. “It’s okay to admit it, Sonny.”
Sonny only rolled her eyes at me. I turned back to look at Tobin as I kicked my skateboard into my hands.
“I haven’t been skating for long honestly,” I shrugged. It was something I hadn’t picked up when I was a kid. “I picked it up in college so I could get around Stanford easier. Plus it’s great for when it isn’t winter and I can’t go snowboarding in Colorado or when we aren’t surfing at the beach.”
“Seriously?” Kelley asked. I turned to look at her. “What are you? Just a jack of all trades?”
“No,” I shook my head. “I did only get a B in calculus.”
“I hate you,” Kelley said. 
I set her a soft smile before I rode away from the group on my skateboard. I did at least make sure that I stayed close to them since we were supposed to be exploring the city together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I grabbed the ball from the back of the net before turning to face the defenders. Kelley and Sonny had approached me while I was working on my skills and tricks once our practice had ended. They offered to defend the goal in case I wanted to get some practice against defenders in.
“You two ready to give up yet?” I asked the two.
They were both leaned over with their hands on their knees as they were both trying to catch their breath. I jogged past the two and out of the box even. I turned back to look at the two.
“Don’t worry, I can always practice these without defenders,” I assured them.
Neither of them said much as they both nodded and moved to the sideline where they each grabbed their own waters. I immediately started to move the ball. I made sure that my back was to the goal before performing a rainbow flick and then jumping up to bicycle kick the ball into the net.
“No one likes a show-off,” Sonny called out.
I knew that the two of them must have been annoyed by how many skills I had shown the two considering they had spent a lot more time with me this off season.
“Unless what they’re showing off is dope as fuck,” Kelley pointed out.
I grinned at that because I knew it meant that Kelley thought what I had been doing was cool. I was too focused on the ball in front of me as I started to dribble it again to catch what Sonny had said next.
“Fuck,” Sonny said under her breath. “That’s true.”

Twisted Wonderland Personality Swap AU
Thanks so much for the support on my previous posts, it really means a lot to me. Because of that, I've decided to continue writing for this AU and keep you all updated! I'll also be using this post to answer some of your questions. (In this AU the Housewardens and Vice-Housewardens switched personalities)
Tumblr media
I went ahead and made some doodles for Ruggie, Leona, Jamil and Kalim (Ruggie with Leona's eyes scares me tbh)
Questions/explanations/clarifications:
-I didn't change the characters' backstories (unless specifically stated). Riddle still has a horrible mom, Trey's family still owns a bakery, Leona is still second prince, Ruggie is still dirt-poor, etc.
-What changed is how the characters reacted to their respective trauma I guess, which resulted in their personalities changing.
-Their personalities are not exact copies of eachother. For example, Riddle isn't just Trey but with red hair. He's very similar to Trey, yes, but they have a few differences in their personalities too.
-I'll explain how the characters became the way they are over time. Plus, it's also fun to think about it yourself, right?
-I've already worked out Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle and Scarabia.
-I'm planning on doing every dorm, but I play on the English server so I haven't finished book 6 yet.
-Yes, I'm planning on having the Vices + Kalim overblot, and to do that I'll be using their already canonically established backstories.
-I am NOT a professional artist, nor do I have ANY experience with drawing comics, but just know that I'm passionate about this little project and will work hard to make it as good as possible.
-I'm busy with school (I'm busy in general lol), so I don't have a lot of time to work on this AU- I've been sick for the past 4 days, which is why I could post so much.
-If you have literally any questions, just ask. I love to read you guys' reactions!
Characters:
Jamil wears his hair in a loose braid in this AU, since I don't think he has the patience to braid his hair the way he originally does and his hair is kinda connected to his personality. Jamil is much more optimistic and positive, and he's always supportive. People seem to naturally like him, which annoys Kalim. Jamil always tries to look at things from a positive perspective, trying to make the best out of his situation, though it's not that bad for him, because Jamil genuinely thinks that Kalim is amazing. When he got an invitation to NRC he INSISTED that Kalim come as well. Jamil always wants to throw feasts, and if his master allows it, he'll disappear in the kitchen to cook enough food to feed 3 entire dorms for a week. Jamil frequently tries to get Kalim to relax, because he just wants him to be happy, but Kalim then reminds him that they're at NRC to study. (I already talked about Kalim in a previous post but I'll copy paste it here too)
In this AU, Kalim is much stricter, much more focused and MUCH more responsible. He studies rigorously and insisted on actually working hard to earn his position as Housewarden instead of his family buying the position for him. He’s very sharp, quite intelligent, and is annoyed by his naïve servant and his carefree attitude, who keeps following him around.
Leona is a menace, playful, optimistic and cunning, but he also puts a lot of work into his dorm and school. He knows he has to work had to achieve his goals and he knows that he has a lot of responsibilities. He values hard work.
Ruggie is the complete opposite to Leona though. He is lazy, quick to irritate, and forces lower-classmen to do his work for him because he just wants to sleep. Ruggie is a terrible student, never showing up for class or duties and never putting in any effort. He feels like no matter what he does or how hard he works, he'll never make any changes and his life won't ever get better anyways, especially with a high-and-mighty prince as his Housewarden. He thinks that nothing he does is of any use , so why bother at all, right?
Thanks for reading this word vomit, reblogging would be appreciated lol

Wickedly Witchy Food Bribes
Warning: This post is full of F-words...like food, fizzy, and - well, that's why there is a cut.
Anathema might be a modern day witch, but she still follows some old traditions. Like trying to feed children when they came by her house out of the woods.
There are traditional stories, like Hansel and Gretel, where young children are left to wander in the woods alone and a witch finds them and lures them in to her house with sweet food to eat. They are captured and fed to be "fattened up" before being cooked and eaten. Eating the children was supposed to give the witches eternal youth, and the children were wandering in the woods in the first place because the poor often had too many mouths to feed and it was one way to reduce the number of souls under their roof. Cruel, but reality.
In S1 there are three main scenes where the youthful Anathema offers the members of the Them food when they come to Jasmine Cottage.
Making Lemonade from Lemons
In Ep.3 Adam comes upon Anathema smashing plant pots in the garden of Jasmine Cottage as she takes out her frustration about losing The Book. She invites him side and offers him lemonade, while they discuss all the things are supposedly wrong with the world, and then she gives him the New Aquarian magazines to take away and read.
Tumblr media
He devours them, and their ideas, and that night, as he sleeps, fizzy sherbet lemon sweets by his side, he transforms a nuclear reactor into...something else.
Chocolate
At the beginning of Ep.4, the whole gang of the Them arrive at the cottage when Adam returns the magazines. Anathema greets them at the door and offers then "candy," a distinctly American term for an American witch, and the candy she offers is - chocolate. This also originates from the Americas, so this is an all-American food bribe in this instance.
Tumblr media
Sandwiches
A short while later, still in Ep. 4, after the Them have helped a battered Newt get to Jasmine Cottage so Anathema can assist following the car crash, the witch offers the children sandwiches. You hear this offer off-screen, so to speak, as the camera is focusing in on Adam as he gazes at the picture of the devil on the kitchen wall.
Sandwiches, people. SANDWICHES.
j. f. c. Anathema
SHE OFFERED THEM LUNCH!
Tumblr media
mn'kay I'll calm down for those that aren't making the meta-connection here...
The TL:DR version is sandwich -> lunch -> er, love? (see the end for further reading)
The key here is what Wensley says to Anathema on turning down the offer:
I have a very nutritious lunch waiting for me at home. My mother asked me to come home with an appetite."
Awww.
Not only is Wensley the one who defeats Famine in the end, this line also tells us he has a family who loves and cares for him very much, and they have plenty of food to feed him with. No one is trying to dispose of their unwanted offspring in this rural village.
So there you go . Food doesn't have to all be about f- *ahem* It can be for more familiar things as well.
For further reading about the connection between lunch, bread, and Mrs Sandwich:

Tumblr media
𓏲   *     (  jennie  kim,  cis  woman,  she/her.  )     ⸺     pictures  of  HANUI  "HONEY"  LIM,   the   twenty  eight   year   old   influencer  and  socialite,   have  been  showing  up  all  over  my  feed,  and  considering  the  last  time  they  were  #trending,  it  was  due  to  the  exposure  of  her  dysfunctional  relationship  with  her  birth  mother  —  i’m  not  likely  to  unfollow  anytime  soon.  with  their  black  khaite  pleated  trousers,  baby  tee,  and  versace  aevitas  boots  paired  with  her  jacquemus  le  bambino  tote,  they’ve  managed  to  garner  a  reputation  for  being  more  authentic  than  haughty.  their  critics  say  that  they’re  more  pompous  than  cosmopolitan  when  they  aren’t  too  busy  focusing  on  their  sunbathing  on  multi  million  dollar  yachts  in  the  french  riviera,  crystalline  tears  due  to  lack  of  unconditional  love  held  back  by  ironlike  pride,  a  smile  that  never  wavers  as  the  cameras  flash  but  carries  a  weight  of  a  thousand  pounds,  perfectly  manicured  acrylic  nails  trailing  down  your  skin  in  a  blazing  trail  of  desire,  and  soft  tendrils  tickling  your  torso  as  she  leaves  you  craving  for  more.  reputation.com  has  taken  to  calling  them  BELLADONNA  in  order  to  avoid  a  lawsuit  (  again  ).
BIOGRAPHY.
      the   park   family   is   one   that   doesn't   need   an   introduction.   an   old   money   family   with   wealth   that   dates   back   before   anyone   cares   to   remember.   most   known   for   owning   one   of   seoul's   most   popular   and   luxury   store   filled   department   stores,   hotels,   food,   and   more   (   similar   to   lotte   corporation   ).   the   park   family   is   one   bound   to   go   down   in   history   as   one   of   seoul's   most   influential,   and   one   of   the   wealthiest.   
     park   hwayoung,   the   youngest   daughter   of   the   coveted   family   had   been   the   epitome   of   wealth   the   moment   she   attended   one   of   her   family's   grand   openings   for   the   first   time.   she   was   nineteen   then,   and   immediately   captured   the   media's   attention.   with   beauty   that   could   rival   that   of   the   time's   most   popular   idols   and   actresses,   it   was   no   surprise   that   she   became   the   object   of   many   chaebol's   affections.   hwayoung   was   interested   in   none   of   it,   completly   interested   in   those   who   think   showering   her   in   gifts   would   be   enough   to   call   her   their   own.   she   was   only   interested   in   going   to   college—   yonsei   university,   to   be   exact,   and   it's   there   that   she   meets   her   future   husband,   lim   jiwoon.
      jiwoon,   unlike   the   other   suitors   that   crossed   hwayoung's   path,   did   not   come   from   wealth.   sure,   his   family   lived   comfortably,   but   there   were   no   chauferred   cars   or   professionally   cooked   dinners   every   night.   the   two   met   during   a   blind   double   date,   instantly   connecting   over   their   shared   love   of   matcha,   hatred   of   coffee   and   green   grape   tarts.   from   that   moment   on,   the   rest   was   history.   they   became   engaged   while   celebrating   their   graduation   from   yonsei,   and   married   a   little   over   a   year   later.   the   couple   were   a   big   slow   about   having   children,   and   once   they   did,   they   would   only   have   one   baby   girl.
      hanui,   quickly   nicknamed   honey   by   her   family,   instantly   became   the   apple   of   everyone's   eye.   the   only   granddaughter,   hanui   is   instantly   shown   what   it   means   to   be   spoiled.   no   matter   what   she   wants,   she   barely   has   to   ask   before   it's   in   her   possession.   most   might   say   it's   bad   to   spoil   a   child   to   this   extent,   but   the   little   girl   still   knew   what   it   meant   to   be   grateful   for   everything   she   ever   received.   as   a   teen,   growing   up   in   the   beginning   era   of   youtube   vlogs,   hanui   grew   an   instant   attraction   to   it.   she   loved   watching   her   favorite   youtubers   show   off   their   lifestyles,   so   why   couldn't   she   do   the   same?   it's   shortly   after   her   seventeenth   birthday,   after   being   gifted   a   camera,   that   hanuihoney   is   born.   
      at   first,   hanui   is   a   little   nervous   to   show   her   face,   due   in   part   to   which   family   she   came   from.   she   was   showing   the   intimate   parts   of   her   life   from   the   four   corners   of   her   bedroom,   and   when   she   whould   go   out   with   her   equally   wealthy   friends.   it's   when   she's   twenty   that   hanui   does   a   face   reveal,   and   after   garnering   1m   subscribers   in   her   first   few   years   without   showing   her   face,   that   number   skyrockets   even   higher   once   she   finally   does   so.   it's   not   unheard   of   for   someone   with   a   high   following   to   become   the   face   of   a   brand,   and   this   happens   with   hanui.   she   goes   from   a   social   media   star   to   having   her   face   on   a   billboard   in   seemingly   no   time,   and   as   her   own   wealth   grows,   hanui   figures   it's   time   to   start   living   on   her   own.
      after   much   discussion   with   her   family,   hanui   leaves   south   korea   behind   to   land   in   new   york,   where   she   looks   for   greater   opportunities.   she   finds   her   place   in   the   social   scene   of   new   york,   and   gets   invited   to   fashion   week   for   the   first   time,   where   she   makes   a   memorable   splash.   it's   been   about   five   years   since   hanui   moved   to   new   york,   and   while   she   attempts   to   not   end   up   on   reputation.com,   she's   failing   miserably.
HEADCANONS.
hanui's   parents   divorced   when   she   was   twenty   one,   which   had   become   the   gossip   of   the   year.   there   had   been   problems   in   their   relationship,   and   sadly,   most   of   it   was   stemming   from   hwayoung's   selfishness.   growing   up   spoiled   much   like   her   own   daughter,   hwayoung   was   a   woman   who   could   never   see   more   than   just   herself   at   times.   when   they   divorced,   jiwoon   attempted   to   keep   things   civil,   but   their   relationship   unfortunately   could   not   be   salvaged.   
hanui's   social   media   handles   are   a   play   on   "honey   honey".   when  it   comes   to   her   content,   she   has   always   been   classified   as   more   of   a   lifestyle   content   creator.   when  she   first   began,   she   wouldn't   show   her   face   aside   from   glimpses   of   it   every   so   often.   most   could   consider   her   as   a   "faceless"   youtuber,   but   the   day   she   did   a   full   face   reveal,   her   social   media   blew   up   even   more.
above   all   else,    she's   a   socialite.   she   loves   going   to   events,   private  or   public,   and   she  especially   will   have   her   camera/phone   with   her   where   permitted.   she's   not   too   keen   on   filming   in   public   unless   it's   a   branded   video,   but   she  will   if   it   goes   with   the   content   she's   posting.   
she   doesn't   like   to   cook,   but   when   she   does,   she   loves   to   make   traditional   korean   foods.   despite   growing   up   with   wealth,   if   there   was   one   thing   her   mother   made   sure   of,   it   was   that   she   cooked   meals   for   her   family.   her   favorite   meals   are   jajangmyeon,   ramyeon,   and   bulgogi.   if   asked,   hanui   would   cook   for   people   when   coming   by   her   home   or   if   invited   to   a   potluck   /   friendsgiving.
personality   wise—   she's   known   as   someone   who's   able   to   get   what   she   wants   with   the   point   of   a   finger   or   bat   of   a   lash.   she   has   a   strong   interest   in   people   as   a  whole   regardless   of   their   identifying   gender.   she's   a   jealous   person,   and   doesn't   like   when   someone   she's   interested   in   has   another   person   in   their   ear.   
she's   more   than   likely   the   one   who   burns   bridges   with   former   friends,   but   somehow   always   has   a   reason   for   doing   so.   she   dislikes   being   told   what   to   do   and   hasn't   shaken   the   desire   for   confrontation.   hanui   unfortunately   has   twitter   fingers,   but   she   at   least   provides   receipts   to   back   up   whatever   she   says.   she's   very   shady,   like   real   housewives   kind   of   shady,   but   she   will   do   it   straight   to   someone's   face.   hanui   is   known   for   her   resting   bitch   face,   which   is   not   a   façade   to   who   she   really   is.
connections.
don't   beat   me   up.

Draw Stars Around My Scars
Tywin Lannister x Reader
Tears of Gold Au
A/N: Cersei ain’t gonna like this one.
Tumblr media
“Lion, let go at once. You are going to rip the lace, my love.” You scowled at Lion, who had decided to latch onto the fabrics the designer had brought up to your room. The lady’s chamber was an absolute explosion of fabrics, trousseaus, ribbons and children’s toys. There were atleast six ladies squished in, all aw’ing and gasping at each gown you tried on. When they had come this morning to receive you, you had wanted to be swallowed whole by your bed, groaning in your husband’s arms as he wallowed in your misery, chuckling as you pulled yourself out of bed.
The preparations for the feast was headed in a full flight ahead, the cooks brought cake and food for you to try, some of which you would take to your husband and literally had to feed it to him because he was too “busy” with his work. I guess running a kingdom does have its toll. It wasn’t all butterflies and dragons, love stories and babies. It was ugly, and brutal and manipulative. Since your pregnancy, Tywin had began to trust you with the matters of the crown, though sometimes he was vague, sometimes he needed you to understand things throughly.
Which had led to you befriending Margery, the girl wasn’t awful and you quite enjoyed lady Olenna’s company. You knew there was a motive, there always is. Margery is smart, she is aware of the absolute idiot she is marrying and she has comes to terms with it. Over a cup of wine a few days ago, you’d sat at the hearth with your husband, speaking of what comes after the Royal wedding
“I hear you have been around with lady Margery a bit.” Your husband quirked a brow at you
“She and I have similar interests.” You shrugged not sure if you were being interrogated
“Cersei is right I think, she is manipulating Joffrey.” You say while your eyes were focused on Lion, who was dead asleep with his belly up on a pillow. “I fear that the behaviour in Joffrey that we have been trying to rectify, she might be enabling it.” You knew with your husband around, there could only be so much damage done by Joffrey, but what of when your husband is gone. What kind of doom will the boy king present the kingdoms with.
“Atleast she can make something of that boy.” Tywin scoffed “She is of no consequence to the family, with time she too will be a Lannister.” A little boastful but you agreed with him. “How is the charitable work been holding up.” He did not think much of the work you and Margery did but he could use it to his advantage.
“Quite well actually, though Margery has placed all the credit in Joffrey’s lap.” You scoffed “ I um..”
You trailed off not wanting to admit it but your husband cocked his brow at your to go on. “Her intentions aren’t genuine. Even a blind man could spot it, the only thing that stands between them and riches, is us.” Tywin slightly smirked at you referring yourself as a Lannister, clearly you had begun to play the game too, and he was going to make sure his family triumphs.
You could see the gears in your husband’s head turning and immediately caught hold of his hand. “Not another family, please. There are other ways.” He bit his inner cheek, quickly picking onto what you were referring to. Another family did not need to die, just not procreate. “You could name Ser Loras to the Kingsgaurd.”
Tywin nodded in agreement. You were learning, you had your claws and your incomparable wit, he could see you treading through the waters of King’s Landing with ease. Nothing boasted him up more than someone in his family having more than half a brain, it’s a quality his daughter tries to possess but fails miserably due to her inability to look at the bigger picture.
“Cersei would love that.” Your husband said before getting up and answering the knocks at your door.
You were pulled from you thoughts as a deep bellied laugh came from Tyeon, both boys could sit up by themselves now and crawl around. The last six months had been rather chaotic, the spoils of war and royal events pilling up one after the other had the entirety of the court rather preoccupied. While you had your horde of nurses and handmaidens, you refused to let them do all the work, they were your children. They fed at your breast and calmed down to your voice. That is a partial lie, it was mostly their father that manage to calm them down.
Lion was rather taken with both his brothers, you would often find the feline curled in their cribs or following both boys around as the crawled, apparently Lion had swatted Jamie in the face with his tail, which Tyeon found rather amusing. You didn’t mind the noise, or the fuss that decorated your quarters. You did however mind the shitload of pins that held this King’s Landing hairdo up. It made your head hurt.
Ladies laughed and gossiped, dining away on cheese or fawning at your children and the cat. Whereas you were trust up straight as fabrics were held against your skin, you own mind muffled in the commotion of it all. A tighter corset, higher shoes. Your hair, you hated what they did with your hair. You head nearly pounded at it all and Fredrick stood there looking rather amused as you scowled at him. The gods however answered your prayers as your husband walked into your shared quarters, looking rather annoyed at the commotion. All the noise in your room died down, untill it was only your children babbling about. Lion ran up to Tywin, rubbing against his legs and meowing. Your saviour.
“Ladies, if you may.” Tywin said ever so charmingly, gesturing towards the door. A group of ladies all poured out, whispering and giggling as Fedrick escorted them all out. You huffed, pulling the half tied dress of your body, that thing was stupidly extravagant and just not you and you hair.
Tywin looked a little amused but sympathetic at your annoyed and pouting face as you sat down, pulling Jamie on your lap. Wiping all the spit around his face. Your husband looked at you hair, and then to you. He was about to open his mouth, but you raised a finger to stop him. He went on nonetheless
“This is my daughter’s doing, I believe.” You nodded taking out the two little braids that rested on either side of your neck, you had no idea how you were going to undo the rest. Huffing as you struggled to take the pins out and giving up.
“I love you, husband. But if it is demanded of me to do my hair like so, I will run.” You gave him a look that mimicked one of person who’d seen a ghost.
He chuckled lightly, holding his hand out for you take and led you to the dressing table and sat you down. He smiled in reminisce as his fingers gently pulled pins out of your hair, undoing the tiny braids and repeating the process. You looked at him confused, as to how he was able to do this with such ease, and Tywin spoke up.
“When I had first come to the Landing, with um- Joanna. Her handmaidens would often put her in such an outlandish pieces, I spent many nights getting an earful as I tried to undo the damage.” He said with small smile on his face, and you slightly giggled. You couldn’t imagine Tywin Lannister taking a scolding from anyone, though you were happy that he was talking about his first wife without any tension. You were grateful.
“I don’t see how any woman can deal with such torture.” You sighed has the last pin came out and your husband undid the last braid, you pushed your head back to rest against his torso, looking up at him tiredly. You were quite ready to leave for Castley Rock, being a mother suited you but exhausted the life out of you.
Tywin gently untied the tightly wound corset on your back, a deep sigh left you as you lungs could finally inflate to it’s full size. He saw so much of his late wife in you, your compassion, how protective you were, over your children and how tolerant you were. However you were young and it was taxing on you brushed through your hair, watching from the mirror as your husband effortlessly picked his sons up. Jamie dead asleep while Tyeon’s big green eyes stared up at his father, Tywin’s lips held a small smile as he walked over to their cribs to place them down, it was time for their afternoon naps and clearly their mother could use one too.
You had crawled onto bed, almost immediately sprawling out and a small squeak leaving your mouth as you stretched out. Hands reaching upwards to untie the strings that held the bed curtains up, pulling on them to draw the sheer red curtains forward, providing a much needed ambiance to sleep, a small yawn fell past your lips making your eyes water. You sat in the middle of the bed on your knees, looking at your husband who was rocking both boys in their bassinets. You cleared you throat to grab his attention, you were not sure if he would spend the afternoon with you. You wanted him to.
“Patience, my lady.” Tywin called out as fingers popped open the buttons on his coat, leaving him in his undershirt and trousers as he got in the bed with you. He wasn’t going to be staying, he would stay until you fell asleep and that was a fair bargain. You waited until he was flat on his back, one arm held outwards for you to settle in, you happily flopped onto him, head rested on his broad chest and a leg hoisted over his. His hand curled around your shoulders as the other found it’s way to your thigh, a satisfied hum in unison left the both of you.
It had been a while since you shared a bed together, most nights with Tywin working late. You would sleep in your lady’s chambers with Jamie and Tyeon, so that when Tywin returned he wouldn’t wake the babies up. There were nights were he would walk in, exhausted; to peer at your sleeping form and his sons before retiring in his own bed alone. Other than sharing meals a few times a week, or when he would find you in the nursery. There wasn’t much time spent together in the last few months.
Your fingers mindlessly trailed on the skin that peaked through his partly unbuttoned shirt, a few scars that decorated his chest also peaked through as you gently traced over them. A few fresh one’s from the Blackwater, seemed to have healed completely. His fingers traced shapes on your thigh, specifically a few scars the littered itself on the top of the flesh.
“How did you get these?” His voice quiet and relaxed
“Fell off of trees. Multiple times.” Your husband moved his head to look down at you, as you shrugged at him sheepishly.
He moved your hand further down his torso and under his shirt to feel a scar right by his pelvic bone. “So have I.” Clearly a much older scar but it was new information to you.
“It’s quieter up there.” You hummed in agreement, your body growing tired as it moulded further into his. Tywin’s voice held some sort of magic, nightshade was worthless compared to the tone of his voice. Many nights he would lull you or your children by just speaking, another yawn pushed past you as your husband held onto you tighter. He could feel you slipping into the world of slumber as your breathing evened out. He shut his eyes for a moment too, hoping to just revel in the warmth of your body, but his exhaustion consumed him too as he passed out next to you.
A royal handmaiden had made her way into the Hand’s chambers, with a dress for Lady Y/N for the tournament tomorrow. As she padded her way quietly into the silent chambers, she walked to the chaise to place the dress on. She made sure to be quiet, as this time was known for the little lords and you to be resting. Her eyes fell upon the bed, where she expected the Lannister lady wife to be asleep on, until a small gasp left her as she saw Lord Tywin and his Lady Y/N wrapped in each others arms. She gathered her skirts and tiptoed her way out of the Hand’s chambers, excited as surely such news would have her rewarded by the Queen.

I keep joking that my OTP within the Mane Six is just. The Mane Six. So I wrote how I think every relationship would go-
I'm sorry in advance. Under a spoiler because it can get a little saucy. (These horses have mortgages, you know they're doin' it)
(Also I've only seen like, some of season 4, and only up through half of season 2 recently. If you wanna see how much I've watched go listen to Friendship Is Content on Spotify, that's me!)
Raritwi: A lot of soft, quiet moments. The two bond over a lot of cerebral activities like crafts and learning various tactile techniques and so a lot of their hanging out is parallel play. Dates are usually nice dinners where Rarity gets to dress Twilight up all fancy and listen to her infodump for hours.
Twidash: Dash is Twilight's own personal research subject. She's fascinating to her in so many ways - from her extraordinary speed to the magical connection to their cutie marks to what loyalty means. It's a lot of gentle teasing and butting heads.
Twipie: Even more than Twidash, Twilight and Pinkie are different. They're so inherently opposite one another. Pinkie is extroverted and Twilight is introverted. BUT, both are such massive people pleasers that it draws out interesting sides to both. Pinkie planning events for Twilight has to dig into what makes a quiet, calm night in so much fun, while Twilight spends time learning the study of Play and what makes parties so important, both sociologically and historically.
Fluttertwi: A lot of their relationship is built on quiet companionship. Similar to Raritwi but an even stronger focus on being alone together. Dates are usually things like taking the other to a spot that's important to them, learning things the other likes, like a site of ancient magic or a nesting ground for a rare breed of animal.
Twijack: Where Pinkie and Twilight draw out the ways the other is socially different, Applejack and Twilight are a dichotomy of motivation. AJ is heavily focused on external motivations - the farm, her family, the apple legacy - and Twilight is focused inward - her studies, her friends, her career. Dates vary wildly from huge Apple family get-togethers to a quiet night by the hearth enjoying each others' cooking.
Raridash: Trophy wife. It's a trophy wife relationship. Literally both ways. Rainbow Dash is dead certain she lucked into the hot arm candy trophy wife in Rarity, the kind of hot gal that has every other butch at the track hooting and hollaring, and Rarity knows she has the toughest hottest slab of meat of a woman this side of Equestria. The sex is insane.
Raripie: Weirdly, their common ground is beauty and aesthetics. Both are very into making sure things are CORRECT and pretty. They feed into each other in a really healthy way, where Rarity teaches Pinkie the importance of diligence and attention to detail, while Pinkie stresses that sometimes it's good to let loose and let things BECOME beautiful instead of making them. You can only invite people to a party, you have to hope they have fun!
Rarishy: It's a lot of compromising, that's for sure. Rarity loves going out, Fluttershy likes staying in. Rarity hates being unclean, Fluttershy loves the forests and plains. It pulls the two into realms of uncomfortability, but they do find times when they relate to one another - see: the spa - and learning to compromise is good for the both of them.
Rarijack: Like Raridash but more raw emotion. If the Raridash sex goes crazy, the Rarijack dates are even MORE insane. AJ starts trying to woo Rarity, who cannot be shown up by the likes of her, and the two are competing for who is cuter and more in love with the other. It's a nice blending of two very different mindsets.
Dashpie: Pranks and smoochin'. That's the foundation of their relationship. They play pranks, they tease the others, they zip around and have fun, and then they make out until they pass out from lack of air. They're both so STUPID.
Flutterdash: Classic friends to lovers. More than any of the others on this list. Known each other for years, Dash stands up for Fluttershy constantly, it's a relationship based on respect and a long history with one another. Long, lazy, nightly flights around Ponyville just shooting the shit and nuzzling under the moonlight kind of stuff.
Appledash: If an arm wrestle could be a relationship, that's Appledash. They both THRIVE on competition. Trying to be better than one another in every way, stronger, faster, a better lover. Sex is a game, and both of them are POSITIVE there's a way to win at it.
Flutterpie: Very sweet, very soft, very patient. Pinkie is exuberant with most partners but with Fluttershy she understands there's a level of patience and understanding that has to be had. Big parties, loud cannons, all of the things Pinkie is used to and comfortable with aren't things Fluttershy likes. Her ADHD may make her vibrate out of her skin sometimes, but the quiet moments with Fluttershy make it worth it.
Applepie: FUN. All the time. Laughing, jokes, japes. Lots of family functions, lots of parties, even for no reason. Pinkie throws "Apple Bucking Parties" and "AJ's Favorite Tree Is Three Years Old Parties" and "I Made AJ Laugh During Sex Last Night (Again) Parties", and AJ's overwhelming earth pony stamina has her kickin' it for each and every one (as long as her work is done, of course). Their baked goods go INSANE.
Appleshy: A very picturesque relationship. Kind of "little house on the prarie" shit. Fluttershy is very much "stay at home wife" and AJ is very much a breadwinner, out makin' the bacon and bringing all sorts of lovely gifts for her beautiful girlfriend with every anxiety disorder. Fluttershy helps take care of AJ's animals.
Bonus ships:
Twiluna: Both living in Celestia's shadow means that they have this mutual understanding, this feeling of trying to measure up, trying to please a woman who is already pleased, and it means they both have INSANE praise kinks. It's truly bonkers. Luna says Twilight is a good girl one time and Twilight rides the high for a week. She has to tell Spike to come up with a letter because her Lesson On Friendship that week absolutely cannot be telling Princess Celestia how soft her sister's lips are. Insane.
Twitrix: Kismesis. Blackrom. It's all hate sex all the way down. Every single word out of Trixie's mouth makes Twilight more and more furious, and seeing how cute she is drives Twilight up a fucking wall. Twilight will insist she's a better mage - SHOW Trixie undeniable truth - and Trixie will hit back with some stage magic that she says proves Twilight wrong. She kisses her just to get her to shut the fuck up.

Best Boy
DWC Feb 2024 Day 4: Vengeance/Satisfaction
Pandaria was already meeting spring with wide open arms, and the cheerful, bright sunlight was almost offensive to Shedwyn's eyes. That wasn't really new, though; everything was almost offensive to Shedwyn's eyes right now. Her fucking husband had gone and got himself fucking titled--legitimately titled, through no effort of his own, the fuckhead--and he had no idea how it'd happened. She had even less idea, and his babbling explanation hadn't made it a whole lot clearer.
The fact that they were shouting at each other about it the whole time probably hadn't helped.
But still.
Fucker.
Tumblr media
After they'd gone in circles for about half an hour, and she'd slugged him in the chest a little bit harder than she'd actually meant to, she'd decided it was time for a breather.
"I'm going to Leon's. I need sex in my mouth right now and I don't mean you."
"First of all, fuckin' ew--"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT, ASSBAG OF KEEL."
She hadn't realized she'd been growling obscenities, mostly about her husband, out loud until the younger Ambroce whistled at her from his front door.
"Y'gonna keep me in suspense or kin we take this inside?"
"I want to be petulant and snarl some more and maybe blow something up, but I also want pizza, and I know if I do the first thing I won't get the second."
Leon nodded and stepped aside to let her into the house. "Yer becomin' downright self-policin' these days. I'm pretty sure tha's a good thin', but..."
"Shut up and feed me."
"Fine, but this better be good, y' grumpy li'l shit." He adored his sister-in-law, but that also meant he was a lot more willing to be crass with her than most. She was family, ergo she was tough enough to take a little bit of honest ribbing.
"Food then snark. Please. I want to not be the adult right now."
"Fair enough. Does tha' mean I don't get an explanation? Only if tha's th' case, I'm not gonna make yer fav'rite."
"But--"
"Them's th' rules."
Shedwyn sighed. She would kill a man for anchovies, and the man who did the absolute best thing with them was standing right in front of her, and she was a Lady, god dammit, and... She sighed again. She could be polite for a little while.
"All right."
"Attagirl."
"Don't push it, Ambroce."
Laughing, Leon closed the door behind them and fled to the kitchen to get to work. It was a good thing everyone else had left for their own chores for the day, or the complaints would've started within five minutes of the fishy dish going into the oven. For the most part, the house smelled of salt, generic "fish" smell, shrimp, ham, cheese, and tomatoes, but those first two really overpowered the rest. Anchovies were not popular at the restaurant in Stormwind, but the ones who liked them really liked them, as he'd found out, so he kept a small supply at home for emergencies. Emergencies like his little mana-bomb of a sister having a bad day, for example.
They didn't talk about much of anything while he was cooking. Leon was too focused to offer up much of anything without being prompted, and Shedwyn was in no mood to talk like an adult yet. She was in the mood to pout, and scream, and maybe punch Terry again. She'd had to go through so frickin' much to get her own title set down on paper and into the records that mattered; she'd memorized every stupid word of the stupid Doppelganger Decree of 28 and would probably not be able to forget about it for years. And Terry'd gone and fuckin' farted out a dynasty.
Shedwyn Lias-Ambroce was not strictly speaking a jealous woman, but she had limits. It just wasn't fair!
Somewhere amid the interminable brooding, a steaming pizza appeared on the table in front of her, and the clouds parted. Angels didn't sing, because angels sucked and didn't like anchovies, but that was fine. More for her. The first bite was always the best, but the second through sixth bites were pretty damned amazing, too.
Leon was kind enough to wait until she'd torn through two slices before he cleared his throat. When Shedwyn was not immediately forthcoming, he made his point by taking a slice of his own and sitting down. She growled to herself, then picked up a napkin and dabbed at her mouth.
"Your brother got lucky again."
"...Like yer 'avin' another kid, or...?"
This time, the sigh was loud, extremely melodramatic, and seemed almost to propel her backwards to drape over the back of her chair. "Like he didn't end up dead or promoted at the end of the Gilneas campaign, so he fell ass-backwards into a viscountcy instead!"
Leon blinked, then took a bite of his slice. Nope. Still don't like anchovies. "Alright..?"
"All right? Really? That's the first thing you say? Your brother's a goddamn titled, landed Gilnean nobleman out of nowhere! After all the shit I went through to get my shitty little Barony carved out of Duskwood! Not only does he just walk into some office in Stromgarde and walk out with a title, he walks out outranking me! Which I didn't know I would care about until it happened!"
Leon said nothing, simply letting her unload, as was his wont. His neverending patience pissed her off even more, as was her wont.
"I had, and still have, to work my absolute ass off for every single scrap I've ever gotten or ever will get, and then I have to work even more to keep it, and your bullfuckin' Ambroce luck has Terry just survive long enough! What the fuck, Leon?!"
When she stopped to ask him a question, even if it was a rhetorical one, Leon looked up from finishing off his slice. He calmly licked his fingers, then set his elbows on the table. Then, he set his chin on his hands. "Would it 'elp any if I said it wasn't all luck this time?"
"Well of course it wasn't all luck, it takes a shitload of skill to survive the absolute fuckalanche of shit he's been through, but--"
"No, I mean it was me."
That stopped the little mage mid-rant. "What was you?"
"Th' Gilnean Repatriation Initiative sent out letters somethin' like a month ago. I got one, you prolly got one tha' got tossed out, knowin' 'ow you an' Terry feel about anythin' bearin' th' royal seal of anywhere."
Shedwyn gaped.
Leon continued, "I'm just as much a Gilnean as 'e is, but I've my life 'ere, an' I very much like it. An' really, goin' 'ome does not bring 'appy mem'ries t' th' fore. Maybe I coulda got th' ranch back, but... gods, I don't want it. But I know Terry does. An' anybody 'o'd met th' man fer five minutes knew 'e'd go back t' Gilneas th' instant th' call went out. So I sent a reply with a couple suggestions."
Shedwyn's hair was starting to crackle like one of those globe toys that made lightning strike where your fingertips touched them.
Leon, undeterred, picked up the pizza plate and walked it back into the kitchen.
"My brother is a turd, a recoverin' racist, an' more than a bit of a jackass. But 'e's also an extremely patriotic, loyal man when 'e wants t' be. Tha's admirable as 'ell! Downright noble, even. Apparently they agreed, eh?"
The chair clattered to the floor as Shedwyn stood up, both hands up in front of her, grasping at the air in a strangling motions.
"You- you-"
"Feel free t' tell 'im Leroy says congratulations." He turned and stared her straight in the eye, even as they crackled with arcane lightning. "Elroy does, too."
Later on, Shedwyn would say the only reason Leon survived that meeting was because she didn't want to destroy the house, his spouses didn't deserve that.
Mostly it was because everytime she'd try to gather up the energy to cast something, he'd headbutt her, and she was too stubborn to dodge.

Headcanons //
I've had a few headcanons since this pairing has become my newest obsession. So, though in the manga we haven't seen Nami (at least yet) pronounce about love, I like to imagine her allowing herself to fall in love with Sanji, progressively, but in an unnoticed way.
Before joining the Mugiwaras, Nami tried all along to remain distant with everyone she met, unable to stick to places, things and people because at the end of the day she had to return with Arlong. And so, she built walls around her heart. But life in the Sunny is so different to her previous life that those walls don't seem as solid as they used to, and in exchange she's gradually becoming more open, and more vulnerable too.
Before Sanji joined the SH's, she was the one who cooked; probably basic, lifesaving dishes.

Nami was hungry as a child because her family didn't earn enough, and then with Arlong it's more than possible that she was starved. Her life as a thief wouldn't have allowed her to eat a decent dish every day (or week), and when forced to steal (to eat) people would surely hate her and treat her horribly, making her earn pejorative names such as "burglar cat" (泥棒猫 [dorobou neko]).

With Sanji on board, she has never worried about hunger, food supply or cooking again. Sanji treats her literally like a queen, which is what she likes and has lacked her whole life. He is always looking out for her. He is not only going to feed her the best dishes, but he is going to give her the healthiest and most nutritious.
Sanji takes such care of her that she doesn't need to say a word or even go to the kitchen. Sometimes she's so focused on her maps that she forgets to eat but he already knows that she's too focused or distracted for that. Even so, he comes by to bring her food, some fruit or hot tea.
Although she has a library where she can work and study, away from the fuss of the Sunny, sometimes when the kitchen is quiet she goes there with her maps. She occasionally looks up from her books and stares at Sanji while he's cooking, not for too long so she doesn't get caught. But she likes the person he is when he is focused, doing what he likes. She knows, too, the value of food and that cooking is an expression of love.
Since she knows Sanji, Nami has never had the need to cook, nor has she ever gone hungry again... To her surprise, she barely remembers how it feels to starve.
Although she does not wish to take up cooking, it has always been a skill she has admired and treasured, and she probably would enjoy cooking more often... even for free.

As long as he's side by side with her.
