Could I request headcanons for Astarion, Gale, Wyll, Halsin, Dammon, Rolan, and Zevlor react to his gn crush confessing to him while obviously waiting for rejection?
absolutely my love, here you go!
Astarion
Is not surprised you’re confessing (he knew how you felt it wasnt subtle lol), but is surprised that you seem so defeated about it
sort of annoys him? Upsets him? Of course he’s going to feel the same way, how can you think so little of yourself? He’s of the opinion that you’re wonderful. it’s so easy to fall for you.
but then he hesitates: he knows how easy it is to think poorly of oneself. He can’t judge you too harshly.
takes your hand, tells you that you’re lovely, and invites you out for coffee the next day. just the two of you. his heart skips a beat when you light up.
Gale
admires how courageous you are. can see you’re shaking as you admit your feelings.
”why do you think I wouldn’t feel the same way? you are one of the most spectacular people I’ve ever met. Anyone would be lucky to have you. I’d be lucky to have you.”
smiles when he sees how you start to grin, puts his hands on your waist and brings you in for a kiss.
if you’re a magic user dancing lights erupt from you because you’re so overwhelmed ✨
Wyll
Oh, sweet Wyll. Gobsmacked that you think he’d turn you down.
takes your hand and guides you somewhere where the two of you can be alone.
when you have your privacy he asks if he can kiss you.
you feel heat rise in your cheeks but nod, and he gives you the most astounding first kiss you’ve ever had lol
then he takes you out for dinner and holds your hand across the table the whole meal
(when you’re together properly he makes jokes the whole camp was asking “wyll they won’t they” about the two of you and you groan lmfao)
Halsin
another one who takes you to a private place to talk.
brushes your hair out of face and then cups your cheek in the same gesture, begins to wax poetic about how perfect the oak father made you and how you are without fault.
has echoed your feelings for a long time now and is glad you made the first move which takes a lot of the weight off your chest
he scoops you up in his big arms and swings you around until all the worry is gone and you’re laughing 💕
Dammon
his heart hammers in his chest when you tell him. he’s only a blacksmith!!!! he doesn’t know how to handle this!!
I imagine you confess to him while he’s working at his forge so that not all of his attention is on you, it’s better to soften the blow when he says he doesn’t feel the same.
puts his tools down, takes off his gloves, and holds your hands. tells you he’s admired you for a long while and is glad you feel the same.
you squeak when he kisses you but his soft touch keeps your grounded ❤️
Rolan
is offended how nervous you are (you don’t find him THAT intimidating do you?! He’s been trying to be nice because he likes you!) - and also a bit annoyed because he’s been working up the courage to confess for ages but you got there first
”Good, I like you too >:(“ “you do?” “Yes >:(“ “then why do you seem so grumpy about it?” “I’m not grumpy! >:( >:( >:(“
you kiss him on the cheek and he’s so flustered he loses control of the spell he was transcribing and magic missiles his office window to pieces lol
Zevlor
this is a battle of the least self-confident lol. you’re like “I don’t think you like me” and he replies “my dear you have so many better options than me”
so it turns 180, with you convincing him that you do like him and listing all his merits!
eventually youre at a stalemate. and then you just kiss each other, trepidatious at first and then getting more passionate as you relax 💕

Part 2 of Widowed!King!Price x Devoted!Knight Reader.
Knight!You who suddenly finds yourself wandering the castle during the night after your conversation with Price unable to stop the words that were constantly repeating within your mind. Why had the king seemed so interested on why you hadnt any body? Did he not appreciate your willingness to deprive yourself of the love and touch of another so you wouldnt worry more about them than him?
Of course you were constantly distracted now, letting guards you sparred with take you down so easily all over being stuck inside your own head. And this wasnt sitting right with King!Price who was wondering why his prized knight now suddenly couldnt beat the other royal guards like you used to.
King!Price who ends up calling you to a meeting in his chambers. Forget the throne room or his royal office. His chambers were where he'd like to speak to you. And like the loyal soldier you were, you were there on the dot entering in after he gave you permission. Other guards and servants around the castle certainly found this strange but it was by the request of your king.
King!Price who doesnt even allow you to speak your reasons. He's just so disappointed that youve lowered your standards. Thats not what a knights meant to do and he makes sure you know that in the most humilating way possible. By having you on your knees looking up at him while he smiles down at you, your head tilted up by the grasp he has on your hair. And its not to be mean, no Price could never. Your his prized knight after all.
"Wheres that devotion gone? Have you suddenly lost it. Is that why your letting those pathetic guards beat you down?"
At that he can see the shame that washes over your face. He wasnt meant to see or hear about your faults. You were meant to be perfect in his eyes no matter the cost. Didnt he understand that the only reason you were acting the way you were was because of him. Your loyalty and devotion for your king ran as deep as the oceans and nothing could change that. So how could you make it up to him? How could you get rid of that disappointed look in his eyes that was practically like the devils glare to you. By offering yourself to him.
"No. My king. Please my devotion and loyalty still lays in your palms. Take what you need of me. Leave me as nothing more than filth if you please, just dont be disappointed in me."
And as those words came tumbling from your lips King!Price knew he had you. He would always have you. Even if any others came along and tried having you for themselves he knew your eyes would always stray back to him because he was your god. You worshipped the ground he walked on, took in his words like water and kept the sight of him embeeded in your brain just for a reminder that he was your king.
Plus who was to blame him when he accepted your offer of yourself? He had already been without a warm body in his bed for a few months because of his late husbands death. What did it matter that he filled that empty spot beside him with your body instead. What did it matter that he filled himself with your cock at the end of every day to make up for the months without any relief.
And like the devoted knight you were, you complied with his ever ask. If he needed you youd remove yourself from your duties, replacing yourself with a capable knight to continue them to rush to him and give him exactly what he wanted. Which more than likely was your cock in his hole while he worked, relaxed or even when he was "napping". You would always come running and he knew it.
-
Am have this Ig? Does it tie in with the last part not at all. I literally need to sleep 😭 its been nearly 3 days without and im barely able to register whag I wrote. Ill make a part 3 in a few days thats just smut for this.

This is all 4 parts posted in one long one shot:
(About 4k words)
Tumblr media
.
.
“She took my mate away from me and now you want my help with some questionable child- their child. Not to mention against all of the volturi.” (E/C) eyes wouldn’t even for a second look at the vampire he once called his family that was now inside his house, focusing on what was happening outside the window.
.
.
“(Y/N) I understand you’re holding a grief towards Edward and Bella but do it for Renesme. She’s just a child.” A blonde haired male waited patiently for a response and soon he got one.
.
.
“You’re a fool Carlisle.” With that older vampire lowered his head knowing the discussion was over, so he got up from the red sofa and walked out of the dark wooden door closing it behind hearing a click.
.
.
Rest of the family that decided to come along stood near the black car waiting for an answer.
.
.
“How did it go?” Bella asked curiously.
.
.
She didn’t know what happened in the past between an unfamiliar vampire and her now husband was her fault.
.
.
“We shouldn’t have come here I told you it will be pointless.” Edward spoke up as his hold on his wife tightened, making the brunett turn her head to look at him questionably.
.
.
(Y/N) thoughts were loud, he could tell his past lover didn’t want any of cullens on his terytorry in case volturi would chase after him too and definitely didn’t want to get involved with vampire-human child that was his daughter no matter if she was a threat or not it did not involved him now, they weren’t a part of his life anymore.
.
.
Even if (Y/N) did not wish them death they were not his problem. All of them lied straight to his face breaking his dead heart even more keeping the future away from him- future he wasnt in.
.
.
Turning away from the window (Y/N)s hand went up to his cheek wiping the wet annoying feeling that ghosted his cold skin- even as a vampire he got a gift- well for him it was a curse, feeling way more than he could handle and express too many emotions at once after deconcentrating.
.
.
He was happy- they were happy- but she took it away.
.
.
No matter how much they will need him he won’t show up and save the day.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
(Y/N) sat on the kitchen counter with a glass of water in hand after he moved far away from the window- sure he was a vampire, his heart wasn’t beating or lungs didn’t need air- he was immortal- but nothing really changed between him and normal human being, he was as weak as one, still got emotions, needed to eat from time to time and not only blood, no vampire got eyes that looked like his.
.
.
He knew Cullens needed as much of their kind to support them but they hurt him and if a fight broke out he surely was going to die, no matter if he tried to run, they would kill him sooner or later.
.
.
Of course even now he wont be safe, they came to him and nothing will hide from Aro sight.
.
.
————————————————————————-
All of the Cullens came back home about two hours ago and everyone returned to their things to somehow keep the normality but there was something that still bothered Bella.
.
.
The newborn vampire couldn’t stop walking around in his husband’s old room thinking what exactly happened earlier.
.
.
Even if they asked for help from others that didn’t know Renesme and knew the danger of the situation, they agreed to be on their side- why wouldn’t that one help them?
.
.
“how did it went?”
.
.
Bella wasn’t expecting Jacob to show up and stop her thoughts.
.
.
“By the look on your face I don’t think it went well..” wolf shifter leaned against the door frame waiting for the answer.
.
.
“It didn’t, I just don’t know what happened. Others agreed to help but this one didn’t even want to communicate with us, he barely let Carlisle inside to talk.” brunette sat on the bed with her hands intertwined together.
.
.
“Maybe I could help?”
.
.
“How? You’re a wolf Jake, you know how we react-”
.
.
“I know, you hate the smell and all but we can always try.” it wasn’t hard to see he still got a thing for her and will do anything for his imprint.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Jacob debated if he should shift or not but in the end decided it was better for him to take his bike and was ready for a trip.
.
.
Seth wanted to go too but the older boy didn’t agree, not knowing if it was safe for him to tag along.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Upon seeing a small reddish house wolf shifter slowed down and stopped on the driveway then got off the bike, cautiously making his way to the front door.
.
.
His knock wasn’t the loudest but for sure hireable, so after a while Jake decided to go around and look for the vampire through the windows.
.
.
He didn’t find anything, that worried him a bit.
.
.
A wolf in Jacob picked up upon hearing the tires break, then he heard a low whine.
.
.
.
.
“Seth-”
.
.
.
.
.
.
At that moment nothing else matter. After shifting, he ran as fast as he could to where he heard the noise coming fron.
.
.
Thank fully it wasn’t that far away from where he stood earlier. On the spot, he noticed a bright colored old car and a tail of a wolf on the side. Coming closer to it, dark smoke was seen that started going off in the hood of the car.
.
.
The person that sat inside of the vehicle didn’t move- it was clear as day the accident scared him half to death.
.
.
Walking at the front of the car Jacob checked if Seth was ok and fortunately, he was- after shifting back he will get an ear full for what happened, he was sure of it.
.
.
Feeling a pair of eyes on him, Jacob looked up and was met with a pair of (E/C) orbs but small parts of them were golden watching his movement which made him freeze.
.
.
Neither of them noticed the fire starting but when they did man sitting behind the wheel grabbed the handle to open the door but it wouldn’t move.
.
.
That’s when the panic set in.
.
.
Fire started slow but it quickly gained strength spreading more on the passenger side.
.
.
Seth looked panicked as his eyes moved between Jacob and the person trapped in the car. That’s when the bigger wolf did something smaller one didn’t expect, he shifted back in his human form and tore the driver’s side door open pulling the male out of there into his arms.
.
.
Feeling warm skin under his fingertips (Y/N) opened his eyes looking up seeing a man that wasn’t there before. Using his hands, shorter male tried to get out of the embrace pushing onto the toned chest.
.
.
Jacob let him go but not completely- he didn’t want to let go. He then remember Seth is here too however he wast the only one who did.
.
.
Now it hits (Y/N). There were two of the wolves.
.
.
“shifters-”
.
.
Even if it was said in a hushed whisper both of the man heard it clearly.
.
.
Pushing away (H/C) locks bounced in the air as the vampire moved backwards shaking his head.
.
.
Before black haired male could say anything his eyes widened noticing how the sun fell onto the other making it sparkle but not as much as Cullens or any other vampire he meet did.
.
.
A vampire.
.
.
.
How did he not notice earlier?
.
His skin was surely colder, his cheeks were slightly flushed and his eyes were golden- (E/C)? Light tears showed in the corners…
.
.
How was that possible…?
.
.
Turning around, Jacob shifted back and ran forward followed by Seth that got too many questions and each of them loudly echoed in the older one’s head.
.
.
Just like that (Y/N) stoon on the side of the road alone full of questions.
.
.
.
Why did he got scent of Cullens on himself?
.
.
.
.
Were they that desperate to ask wolfshifters for help?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why would shifters help vampires?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why did a wolfshifter show up on his territory?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why did they agree for a shifter to go to a vampire?
.
.
————————————————————————
.
Walking back home (Y/N) didn’t know what to think about the situation he was in.
.
.
First Cullens, the family that first lied to him and then wanted his help…
.
.
Then he met two shifters- one made his car set on fire and the other saved his life….
.
.
The warmth in his chest was distracting enough to make his emotions take control of his facial expression, leaving it half smiling and half scared- for sure looking like a psychopath or a killer that lives in the woods.
.
.
Meanwhile, Jacob stopped running, lost in the middle of the unfamiliar woods- he just saved a scared vampire and wasn’t guilty about it nor disgusted by his cold touch on his body, the eyes he looked at weren’t bloody red or that annoying golden yellow like Bellas.
.
.
He didn’t know what was going on with him.
.
.
That was when Seth found him, the smaller wolf broke him out of the trance by saying it was quite late and they needed to come back somehow before it gets too dark.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Brown fur of the wolf caught the attention of Bella that sat on the light up weranda steps as Edward stood next to her, a mind reading vampire read Jacob’s thoughts knowing he had conflict in his mind. Placing a hand on his wife shoulder she looked at him, knowing something must happen.
.
.
“There was an accident and they weren’t able to talk.”
.
.
“What do you mean there was an accident? Tell me what you know.”
.
.
At that second Alice showed up, probably already seeing what would happen in the future after Jacob drove away on his bike to find the old member of their family.
.
.
“Jacob found what he was looking for but it wasn’t in good circumstances.”
.
.
After that pixie haired girl hopped down the stairs with a smile to have both wolves clothes to change into.
.
.
It didn’t take them long to get dressed and walk inside the house heading to the living room where everyone was waiting to hear the news.
.
.
“How did it go? ”
.
.
“It didn’t. Seth nearly got hit by a car just because he didnt listen when I told him to stay. Then it caught on fire and the person inside of it was trapped. I needed to step in.” It wasn’t hard to see that the younger boy was conflicted with himself so they decided to give him some time to calm down.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
When sun rose up and cold wind with darkness disappear from the nearly quiet forest, if it wasn’t for all the animals that lived inside it, was replaced by a wave of light and warmth signaling the start of the new day, Jacob went for a run to get back his bike and maybe meet the unusual vampire to talk just like Cullens wanted- well only if he didn’t run away already.
.
.
The journey was way longer than he thought but it wasn’t like he minded running a couple of kilometers more in the green forest.
.
.
Before he saw the red house his nose picked up a smell of fresh cooked food- meat- but nobody lives here except for the (E/C) eyed vampire he met yesterday…
.
.
That boy was really strange. What didn’t help was that neither of the Cullens shared any information about (Y/N)- well only his name.
.
.
Wolfshifter was curious, the first instinct of (Y/N) after he pulled him out of the burning car wasn’t to attack, hurt or kill the taller male but to be afraid of him, wanting to get as far away from him as possible, not feeling safe enough to stay there.
.
.
Noticing a figure in the window Jacob stopped to observe what (Y/N) is doing and it seemed that he was so focused on the task that he didn’t notice the other boy looking right back at him letting go of the spoon he was holding.
.
.
The metal meeting floor tiles brought him back but he couldn’t move from his spot, neither could (Y/N).
.
.
Comming to his senses and walking back (H/C) haired male disappeared into the next room, not long after the front door opened making Jacob speechless.
.
.
“Let’s walk inside… And talk”
.
.
The boy was quite far away but Jacob clearly heard what the other said.
.
.
Before he could register what he’s doing he walked inside the warm house after the vampire. Surprisingly the door didn’t get locked, that made Jacob feel at ease knowing he could walk out normally and not contrive how to escape if he absolutely needed to.
.
.
“Before you say why are you here I would like to thank you for saving me… If it wasn’t for you I-”
.
.
“Don’t mention it- it was partly my friend’s fault your car caught on fire in the first place..”
.
.
The awkward atmosphere formed creating tension in between them. Neither of them knew what to do next even if they had so many questions in their minds.
.
.
“You smell like Cullens, what’s your deal with them?” the (H/C) haired male said with a rosed brow.
.
.
“I’m helping them.”
.
.
“Why? You, despite each other, never cross the line in therytory even while hunting your common enemies… So why now?”
.
.
“The girl I imprinted on was a human but.. she chose and married a vampire I hate to the bones then she got pregnant with a child that was slowly killing her and now Volturi are involved.”
.
.
This sparked an interest in the vampire.
.
.
“imprinted… What does that mean..?”
.
.
“It’s like a soulmate, means you will do anything for that person, be whatever that person wants you to be a friend, family, lover..” At the end of the sentence Jacob’s voice got quieter as his head hung low remembering how devastated he was.
.
.
“why would she choose a vampire over somebody that is like her… ”
.
.
“She’s his blood singer- and she’s important to them and they have a daughter-”
.
.
“She may be important for them but not for me.”
.
.
“why can’t you just help them? They need you-”
.
.
Sudently (Y/N) came closer to the werewolf making the taller boy move backwards till he hit a fireplace and made him shut up.
.
.
“I guess they didn’t tell you what happened. Either way, me being there won’t change anything. I’m as weak as a human, in a battle, I’ll fall first if they come after me- which they surely will. Most importantly, that imprint of yours took away something from me that I’ve been part of for hundred and eight years. She came and destroyed it in just a couple of days… They lied straight to my face when they had her in the house. I was rarely there because I couldn’t stand the cold in that house. Even if I’m not a vampire like everyone else I could smell her, even in his car that he picked me up a couple of times. One day I had enough and left everything behind, every new lie they were prepared to tell me, every word that they told to distract me, every time they kept me away from their house on purpose… I’m not wishing them bad but I won’t help them either”
.
.
Letting out a long sight Jacob turned in the direction of the door.
.
.
“I understand. But please think about it…”
.
.
Wolfshifter opened the door then closed it behind himself, all (Y/N) could hear after was the sound of the bike engine as it moved further away from his house.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Bella started worrying when Jacob didn’t came back to Cullens house and it started to become really late, of course she knew he will be ok being a wolfshifter but something deep down wouldn’t let her calm down, Edward noticed it and got worried but before he could walk up to her Renesmee scream was heard what made all the Cullens rush from various rooms in the house to where the sound came from.
.
.
They search but the little girl was nowhere to be found Bella’s eyes grew wide as did her husband.
.
.
“I-I can’t see anything.. ” shallow whisper of Alice added to the tension everyone felt forming.
.
.
Deciding to split in every direction they began to look everywhere, surely she couldnt be too far away from the house…. Right?
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Little girl got dragged by the material of her greenish dress seeing too many trees to count, all of them passing in a blur before her eyes that shut down quickly after she noticed the big crack in the ground and below them the river flowed as a mysterious creature jumped.
.
.
Gush of cold wind hit her pale cheeks making them rosy pink. Tears in her eyes dared to slip from how scared she was. One second she’s standing in front of the weranda steps, the other something drags her away into the dark forest away from her family.
.
.
Feeling dirt under her legs like she had just been put down, she curled up in a ball till she couldn’t feel anything standing behind her. Opening of the door made her look startled, her brown locks bouncing.
.
.
With furrowed brows (Y/N) looked at the girl in front of him before grabbing a small blanket he kept at the bottom drawer in the hallway and got out shivering as the cold air hit his body.
.
.
Spreading the fluffy blanket (H/C) haired boy wrapped it around her smaller figure, she still was wary of the man in front of her but once she saw his eyes she calmed down. Only after making sure she wasn’t too cold anymore (E/C) orbs meet the brown ones noticing the dreamy/ curious expression on her face, he shook his head then got up pulling the girl up placing her on his hip.
.
.
In the warmth of the house, Renesmee spoke up. “You’re different” this made (Y/N) tens up but didn’t stop walking.
.
.
Placing both of her small hands on older vampire’s cheeks she looked all over his face. “I like it.” she added, smiling brightly.
.
.
Deciding to ignore the things she said he asked his own questions.
.
.
“What were you doing in the middle of the woods at this hour?”
.
.
“I don’t know, something dragged me here. I was too scared to see what it was till you showed up.” placing her on the cough he noticed how her eyes never left his taller frame and her fingers fidget with each other. “you’re a strange little fella, not a human, not a full vampire either.” getting down to her level (Y/N) signalised her to do what she wanted. As she touched his cheek all the things she got through were shown to the crouching vampire that now knew who she was but didn’t pull away letting her finish the visions..
.
.
“My name is Renesmee”
.
.
“Even stranger names you have…. I’m (Y/N).”
.
.
After that Ness talked about her family and what she liked to do (Y/N) let her, he didn’t mind having a little girl in his house that talked his ears off.
.
.
Noticing her sleepy state, stronger arms pulled her up and took her to the other room then laid her down onto soft matters of his bed, covered her with a (F/C) bed sheets, then grabbed a spare pillow and some covers going to the living room and placing it neatly on the red sofa.
.
.
Going to the bathroom (Y/N) changed into pj and brushed his teeth, soon after he moved back on the sofa and fell asleep.
.
.
Three hours later (E/C) eyes felt open, looking down he saw Renesmee cuddled up to his body, letting out a soft breath (Y/N) covering her sleeping body going back to sleep.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Meanwhile Cullens don’t know what to do. They searched every inch of the forest but they couldn’t find Renesmee nor smell her. Bella was even more on the edge than her husband who still tried to think rationally.
.
.
“We haven’t found any blood so she shouldn’t be injured” Jasper spoke as he was seen back.
.
.
“I don’t care about the blood, I want my baby to be here.”
.
.
“Don’t worry Bella, we will find her.” Carlise spoke softly not to anger the mother any further.
.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
When the morning came Cullens was even more stressed and worried, no Jacob and now Renesmee disappeared.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
In the other part of the forest (Y/N) had just woken up as well as the girl, he made her breakfast then gave spare toothbrush to let her clean her teeth and brushed her hair knowing later it will be pain in the ass to comb if she already got so many knots in them.
.
.
Hearing a knock on the door both of them turned to the hallway. Taller vampire on high alert knowing he now had the hybrid child in his territorium and if something smelled her he couldnt be able to protect her if it came to fight with more than one vampire.
.
.
“go to the kitchen”
.
.
With a nood from her (Y/N) stood up and went to see who it was before he could actually see it he smelt a strong scent of a wet dog.
.
.
Opening them widely he was met with Jacob soaked to the bone from the heavy rain that neither of the two in the house noticed. “you scared me half to death… get inside.” walking in and closing the door, a shorter male ran up to the bathroom for some towels and one of his pj completes since it was the only oversized things he got and placed them on the counter then came back with red towel in hand dropping it on Jacobs head then giving him one more to dry his body. “dry yourself then go change in the bathroom.”
.
.
Nodding wolf shifter did as he was told and disappeared behind the bathroom door.
.
.
“It’s ok, you can came here now” just like that Ness came out of the kitchen and hugged (Y/N)s leg
.
.
“What is she doing here?”
.
.
“I don’t know, she showed up last night.” (Y/N) turned to look at the other male, quickly looking away once he felt his expression change. “please wear a shirt and gave me your clothes, I’ll hang them to dry.”
.
.
A second later everything went dark, the electricity shut down. Thunder was just starting.
.
.
Renesmee fastly came up in between the two, scared. “It’s ok, just a power outage. It should come back soon… hope it comes back soon. ”
.
.
“What do you mean?”
.
.
“The heater wont work without electricity…making the whole house feel like a freezer in this weather…” hearing the worry in a shorter boy voice they didn’t waste time to gather some warmer bedspreads in one place.
.
.
————————————————————————
.
.
Sitting on a sofa covered in multiple quilts and blankets Jacob moved (Y/N) closer to his chest and vampire didn’t resist instead cuddled closer with the girl that sat on his lap not wanting to let her freeze and get warmer too. Shifter didn’t complain, liking the closeness. Remembering how Bella did the same in the mountains when she was still a human.. He didn’t know he’d ever meet such a vampire that even when changed were so human-like.
.
.
“What are you doing here anyway? My house is far away from the Cullens.”
.
.
“I didn’t drive back there after our talk… I needed time to think instead of someone that will get into my head the second I’ll come back there.”
.

“What’s with that look wolf boy? My head isn’t a closed book for a mind reader. He could open it and read from it any time he pleased even if sometimes it made me uncomfortable.

WAIT I HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR MY RAMBLE WHAT IF AND HEAR ME OUT IT WASNT HOBIE (who i was imaging) BUT IN THIS AU E-42 MILES (mylo as i imagine him in twin aus) LIKE TWINS
OHHHH MY GOD THATD BE SUCH A BLOW CAUSE IMAGINING KIDS??? THATD BE WHAT HIS KIDS COUKDA LOOKED LIKE BUT HE WAS A DUMBASS
sorry i’ll leave now😮‍💨
alexa play that should be me
I mean it’s Miles fault for playing with yo heart CKALCLAC
No cause you already know Mylo would find out cause he and Miles have like some telepathy twin shit so he KNOWS smth up. He would beat up Miles fr, and then tries to contact you.
So like Miles knows you and Mylo have been talking and he keeps bugging his twin to let him see you but Mylo ain’t lettin that happen like
“Dude please you gotta let me come with—“
“Oh hell no cabrón you stay the fuck away from her”
Then after like a few months yall ended up dating. Mylo never lets you go to his house unless like rlly necessary like if mama Morales was looking for you or smth but HE MAKES SURE THAT MILES AINT THERE.
Months turns to years and Mylo asks your hand for marriage and everyone goes ballistic, but Miles is the one who truly loses his shit LMAO LIKE he’d get beaten up by those bad guys coz he couldn’t focus (Peter smacks the shit outta him every single time like,,,,)
“Focus kid! You might as well become a punching bag now!”
“Nah let them beat the hell out of me man I deserve it—“
“Oh my god here we go again…”
So here comes yalls wedding and MILES ISN’T INVITED like everyone was there Mylo’s parents, your parents, friends etc.
Mylo keeps the venue an absolute secret so Miles don’t know where tf the wedding is bc you know he gon try to crash it and steal you away
LOL sucks to be him
And after a few years you got two amazing kids with Mylo and Miles only watches thru instagram bc you know Mylo would post his babies everyday religiously HAJDBSK
It HURTS Miles cause the kids look exactly like him like a carbon copy and he does have a thought or two of tryna find out where yall live so if you alone at the house he can go and act as Mylo just to see you creepy ass bastard
that never happens tho bc he never finds out where u live
but what he does tho is cry himself to sleep thinking that those could’ve been his kids and not his twin’s
YEAH MILES WHACHU GON DO ABT IT 🙄🙄

Candy, page 15
GAMZEE: OoOpS mOtHeRfUcKeRs.
JOHN: oops???
ROXY: its fine gamz
ROXY: accidents happen
ROXY: um
ROXY: hey thx everyone for joining me today
ROXY: wow now that im up here its like
ROXY: idk
ROXY: i have no idea what to say
ROXY: and i guess thats cuz there IS nothing to say
ROXY: theres no words to describe how i felt about dirk strider
ROXY: and even tho he left a note that had hella words in it
ROXY: they might as well have been sayin nothing
ROXY: which is just like dirk i guess
ROXY: to leave us with a load of bullshit and no idea why he did what he did
ROXY: so im just gonna say that
ROXY: im glad that he was in my life
ROXY: and give it over to someone whos way more eloquent than me
DAVE: hey guys
DAVE: wanna apologize in advance cuz this is about to get a lil real
DAVE: realer than that three quarters of a corpse im standing about two feet from right now
DAVE: i mean i totally hate to ruin everyones mood on a day where weve gathered to think deep thoughts about how one of us just went and fucking offed themselves
DAVE: not like were gonna be stumbling through our lives constantly experiencing intrusive thoughts about this specific event or anything
DAVE: hey remember what our good pal dirk looked like with no head
DAVE: p hard to forget since getting decapitated was like his third favorite hobby
DAVE: so its not so much the body thats the problem but the sorta
DAVE: existential realization of finality i guess
DAVE: though i aint gonna lie the bodys starting to stink
DAVE: sorry all that shit i just said was a load of absolute bull meant to deflect from the fact that im pretty shook about this
DAVE: i used to do that a lot
DAVE: like basically every time i opened my mouth
DAVE: most of you know this but i had a kinda shitty childhood
DAVE: not gonna go into details but
DAVE: long story short it was technically my good ol bro-dad heres fault
DAVE: not this specific version of him
DAVE: the one i grew up with was a
DAVE: a
DAVE: he was
DAVE: he was just an absolute bastard no offense to the dead
DAVE: yeah ok sure he taught me a ton of shit that if were being generous was in theory useful
DAVE: but he didnt give a single solitary shit about raising a well adjusted kid
DAVE: or
DAVE: raising a kid in general
DAVE: i was more like his disciple
DAVE: and all that mattered was his grand design or wtf ever
DAVE: and i know dirk struggled with
DAVE: you know
DAVE: the idea that he could eventually become that kind of person
DAVE: or even worse that he was somehow cosmically fated to become that person no matter what he wanted or did to prevent it
DAVE: thats prolly how he managed to off himself in the first place considering how the mechanics of god tier works
DAVE: maybe hed been struggling with that the whole time weve been here on earth c
DAVE: who knows with him
DAVE: he was always so inside his own head i cant even imagine what insane train of thought led him to decide that this was his only option
DAVE: but i dont think hed want us beating ourselves up about it
DAVE: or torturing ourselves trying to figure out what it fucking meant
DAVE: esp jake jane and roxy
DAVE: he loved you guys and wouldnt do anything to hurt you
DAVE: well not intentionally i mean
DAVE: anyway all that shit about my bro
DAVE: im over that
DAVE: like as much as you can get over it
DAVE: theres a subconscious response to certain stimuli you cant exactly rewire
DAVE: but the conscious part of my brain is all like
DAVE: shit dude
DAVE: i feel great
DAVE: wtf is hypervigilance??
DAVE: i love being alive and having all these friends who care about me and dont beat the shit out of me every day of my life
DAVE: etc
DAVE: and part of thats cause i got to be friends with dirk
DAVE: it was great getting to know this rad version of my childhood guardian who wasnt completely batshit insane
DAVE: and like just chill with him
DAVE: shoot the shit and freestyle or debate dumb crap without it being a federal fucking issue
DAVE: and more than that he treated me like i was on the level with him
DAVE: he let me give him shit for being a pretentious blowhard every day of his life
DAVE: which i did
DAVE: but despite that i
DAVE: i looked up to him
DAVE: the way i always felt like i should have been looking up to my bro
DAVE: the way i WANTED to look up to my bro but couldnt
DAVE: dirk taught me so much shit i didnt know i needed from him
DAVE: i mean picking up dirks opinions was unavoidable if you ever hung out with him considering he never shut his fucking mouth
DAVE: but im glad he didnt
DAVE: he taught me about combat
DAVE: philosophy
DAVE: life
DAVE: and im sure had he not killed himself the literal day i was finally gonna ask him romantic advice
DAVE: he wouldve taught me about love too
DAVE: so in the end
DAVE: i really got no idea how the fuck im supposed to feel right now
DAVE: but thats probably ok right
DAVE: like its ok
DAVE: to not know how to feel when someone dies
DAVE: its ok to not have all the answers
DAVE: i wish dirk were still alive so i could tell him that
DAVE: but hes not
DAVE: so
DAVE: i guess thats all i got to say about that
ROXY: anyone else have a eulogy theyd like to give
ROXY: i think the best way we can honor dirks memory at this point
ROXY: is to spew an untold number of words into the void
ROXY: as many as we fuckin can

ROXY: hes got a few words hed like to say about our dear departed buddy
JOHN: (oh for fuck’s sake.)
JOHN: uhh, hi guys!
DAVE: hey
KARKAT: I SEE THAT EVEN YOU COULDN’T BEAR GAMZEE’S ASININE, BRUTAL AND 100% NONCONSENSUAL ASSAULT ON YOUR LISTEN CRATERS, AND ALSO THE BASIC DECENCY WHICH SAPIENT BEINGS APPARENTLY OWE TO ONE ANOTHER ON THIS PLANET.
JOHN: no, um, actually i listened to the entire thing.
JOHN: i have no idea why i did that. now i have this whole memory in my head that i could have definitely lived without.
JOHN: i was just worried... because you didn’t come back.
JOHN: dave, are you ok?
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: well no
DAVE: but its ok to not be ok about this specific thing i think
DAVE: so for once i think im having like
DAVE: a totally unironically normal emotional reaction to a thing
DAVE: which loops around back to being ok
DAVE: in fact im probs the okayest ive ever been objectively
JOHN: are you SURE?
KARKAT: THAT WAS HALF A HUNDRED WORDS TO EXPRESS A THREE LETTER SENTIMENT.
KARKAT: I’D SAY HE’S DOING FINE.
JOHN: hmm.
JOHN: because i was thinking...
JOHN: do you... want me to go back?
DAVE: go
DAVE: back??
JOHN: with my retcon powers.
JOHN: i could go back and stop him.
DAVE: dude
KARKAT: JOHN!
JOHN: what!
KARKAT: DO YOU NOT HAVE AN INCH OF GODDAMN SENSE IN THAT THICK FUCKING SKULL OF YOURS?
JOHN: what!!!
DAVE: john
DAVE: come on what are my powers
JOHN: ummm... time travel?
DAVE: so you dont think i wouldve already done that if i thought it was a good idea
JOHN: well ok yeah, obviously.
JOHN: but if you DID do it we wouldn’t even know right now because it would’ve just made a new timeline where dirk didn’t kill himself. that’s how time travel works, right?
DAVE: ehhh well actually
JOHN: but!
JOHN: if i retcon it...
JOHN: then it’s like it never even happened!
JOHN: we wouldn’t have had this horrible funeral at all.
DAVE: i dunno dude thats
DAVE: a little fucked up actually
JOHN: you think so?
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: dirk was a complicated guy
DAVE: dude obviously had reasons for doing what he did
DAVE: if you go back and just rewrite his decision
DAVE: thats like denying him his personal autonomy
JOHN: huh. i... didn’t think about it that way.
JADE: dave!!! roxys wondering where you are
DAVE: oh yeah be right there
JADE: what about you karkat? you coming??
KARKAT: YES! GOD!
KARKAT: CAN’T A MAN STAND ON A MOIST AND DREARY PIECE OF RELIGIOUS PROPERTY TO HELP CONSOLE HIS MAIN BRO?!
KARKAT: JESUS FUCK, GOD FORBID WE UPSET THE CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED FUNERAL PROGRAMMING WHICH JUST FEATURED A SEGMENT WHEREIN A DEEPLY UNPOPULAR CLOWN PISSED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF THE CLAMORING PAPARAZZI!
JADE: oh lord... you dumb baby
JADE: karkat it looks to ME like youre the one third wheeling dave and johns poignant brotimes
JADE: so why dont you get your butt on over here???
KARKAT: ARGH... FINE!
DAVE: john
DAVE: i get what you were trying to do
DAVE: but

DEAR DIARY - JEALOUSY AU - PEPPI'S POV - PART 2/3
Nov 6
me, tess, and nina hung out today. i felt happy, i havent felt that in a while. maybe i dont need mei or jaime. i can just hang out with my art club friends. i still feel that pit in my stomach. they asked me if i was okay. should i tell them?
PROGRESS
weight
oct 15 - 102
now (nov 6) - 92
----<3-----
Nov 9
I HATE EVERYONE. I HATE EVERYTHING.
i gave in and told them what was happening with mei and jaime. i dont wanna be here anymore. whats the point of living if you suffer even at this age?
they better not tell anyone.
----<3-----
Nov 11
okay.. maybe i wasnt so clear the last entry.. i told tessa, nina, and felicity about the situation, our conversation went something like this:
P: and i feel like its my fault.
T: what.. how is this your fault?
N: i knew something was off about that girl.
F: im so sorry.. if it makes you feel better ill beat her up tommorow!-
P: no! i mean- no, just, please dont tell her..
T: why not? she's like and evil witch who's slowly poisoning your life!
N: Jaime too, i get its unintentional but he hasn't even bothered to at the least talk to peppi, even less wonder how its affecting her!
P: i dont want to do anything about it because their still just friends, but even if they were more than that, it would feel wrong because i care about mei and jaime!
T: caring about jaime is reasonable, but why do you still care about mei?, youve known her for less that 3 months and you trust her already?
the rest of the conversation was alright when i changed the subject
once they left i was wondering why is still care about mei. i had bigger things to worry about. do i?
----<3-----
(TW FOR S3XV4L H4RR4SM3N7)
Nov 18
okay so i shouldve put this down at the start but i couldnt write it down without crying.
this sounds pathetic but i dont think i trust my diary even though its an INANIMATE OBJECT.
god what is wrong with me.
ive never told anyone about this, only my mom knows.
it happened when i was in my mom's hometown in mexico for the summer, i went to go run some errands or my mom, since it was a small and safe town (or so i thought) it was common to see little kids walking around alone, i was ten at the time, so i guess i was one of those kids, i was headed to the grocery store when i was pulled into an alley by a middle aged man, i tried to scream but her covered my mouth. he started running his hands through my body, he was unbvttoning my jeans when my mom's friend, doña petra, who had a store infront of the alley ran in and knocked him out with a broom, then called the cops, she walked me home and told my mom what happened. i never walked out alone in mexico again.
thats it.
----<3-----
Nov 22
i just realized what a mess im becoming. i havent taken the time to get ready, and i would, i just never have the motivation to. everyones been asking me if i was okay, even jaime, he was the last person id expect to ask if i was okay! whats wrong with meeee..
----<3-----
Nov 26
im so tired of everything, im almost failing most of my classes.
----<3-----
tessa and mei got into an argument about me after tess sent a text to mei instead of me.
it went like this:
t: i still cant forgive mei for what she did, you still want jaime right? ive got a plan to destroy mei.
m: who is this?
t: tessa, is this not peppi?
m: THIS IS MEI!
m: penelope is so dead.
----<3-----
nov 27
mei told me this at school.
m: okay listen here you little sh*t, if you dont stay away from jaime im going to make your life hell.
p: i thought you knew i liked jaime.
m: does it look like i care? i never cared about your feelings! you were the only obstacle keeping me away from dating jaime. those nasty rumors about you? that was me! now that he's practically head over heels for me, its gonna be ba breeze getting rid of you! especially now that i have evidence that YOUR the bad guy here! oh, btw im jaime's girlfriend now, just thought i should let you know! byee!!
oh sh*t.
----<3-----
Dec 3
its heather day! since heather is one of me and jaime's favorite songs, we celebrate heather day every year! we exchange sweaters and jokingly talk about people we were jealous about (classmates, celeberties, fictional characters, etc..) while we eat ice cream. i skipped out on the ice cream since i didnt want to gain weight (lost 4 pounds since nov 6 :DD) it was still really fun though! i wanted to talk about how jealous i was of mei, i was jealous of her hair, her clear skin, her flat stomach and hourglass wait, her straight teeth, and that she had jaime, and i didnt. as soon as i thought of mei, jaime started talking about how he had canceled plans with mei to be here, i was preparing myself to hear more about mei until he told me how much he'd missed hanging out with me.
did i hear that right?
----<3-----
i woke up feeling a bit better than i usually do, i checked my phone to see around 25 dms? something big mustve happened, i usually only wake up with around 3 or 4, at the most 5. first i checked the "girlfriends <3" groupchat, which had 4 messages.
T: PEPPI
T: WAKE UP MEI POSTED THE MESSAGE
F: SAY YOUR JOKING RN.
N: WHAT.
one from akilah
A: penelope, why would you do that to mei?!
three from jensen
J: peppi pls tell me mei is just joking.
J: you guys were best friends!
J: peppi?
two from nic
N: why would you do that to mei?!
N: never speak to me again.
one from leticia
L: jaime was so happy with her, why?!
two from jack
J: W move mei had it coming
J: #jaimexpeppiforlife
two from jazmine
J: your a nice person, but what you did to mei was too far!
J: say one more thing to her that isnt sunshine and rainbows and ill make sure you never see the light of day again.
two from olivia
O: mess with her again and your gonna regret it
O: slvt.
and 8 from jaime
J: I HATE YOU.
J: KYS YOU IDIOT
J: i hope you fall in a hole and die
J: i knew you were trying to hurt mei.
J: idek what to say anymore.
J: i wish we never met.
J: dont EVER talk to me or mei again.
J: our friendship is done.
i was already crying when mei sent me a message

Your Voice
Oikawa Tooru X Reader
-In a world where only a few people has a soulmate, and they are burdened with a disability until they meet their other half.
Chapter 15: Cookies
Italic signed, Bold written
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You frowned. You were home alone and there was a practice that you weren't informed about. It was upsetting...
Until you realized you could finally proceed to your valentines surprise to the team.
You werent exceptional baker. It wasnt amazing or unique but it was good. You rummaged through your kitchen gathering the ingredients.
You took note of your missing ingredients. And went out to get them.
Atthe grocery, you got the ingredients and some other extra stuff as well.
To your surprise you find Yahaba at the chocolate section. He looked at you in shock.
You waved at him, he smiled awkwardly. You see his cart and you dont know what got to you when you approached him.
"Is that for Kyo?"
Yahaba was shocked you were talking to him but he nodded.
You smiled, "Youre gonna bake him something?"
"I wanted to... But I'm not really that good..."
"Wanna come over? I'm baking one for the team too." He looked at you confused. "Im not really that good either but im decent! I can tell salt and sugar apart." You laughed
He blushed, "I dont think we should..."
"Im over Kyo dont worry too much about my feelings" you rolled your eyes. " Plus..." Oikawa's face flashed in your mind and you blushed. "I like someone else now..."
Yahaba's firm look softened. "Do you wanna talk about stuff?"
You nodded and grinned. You both decided to pay for the ingredients and head to your place.
You both made a mess. Him having no experience and a mixer, it wasnt a good idea. He almost put too much of everything but the experience was fun.
You started cutting out the the cookie. And you saw him drawing on his dough.
You tapped his table and he looked at you.
"He likes volleyball you know..."
He smiled, "I do too. He told me about it... he wasnt accepted. "
You blinked, "But he's good at it?"
He looked at you sadly, "They didn't let him try out because of you."
You frowned. That's Oikawa's fault. You knew immediately.
You ran to Iwaizumi's room and grabbed 2 papers and a pen. You went back to him and wrote.
"Dear coach,
I am writing to recommend Kyotani Kenjiro. I am the manager at Aoba Johsai and Kyotani was someone that displayed much potential as someone who's worked with other varsities. Kyotani had displayed prowess and strength as a spike. I am only asking for a chance for him to display his abilities without any biased opinion.
Thanks,
Y/N L/N."
You gave it to Yahaba, and scratched the back of you head.
"Im not really good at those stuff. Do you think thats good?"
He nodded eagerly. And handed it back to you. "Thank you so much!"
You gave him thumbs up and spent the rest of the time talking until the baking was done.
After he decorated his. He thanked you and left. You looked at my batch. You decided to make your fondant.
You thought of how the boys would react to your cookies. You smiled. Then...
An image of Oikawa bluahing at the cookies he'll get from you made your heart jump. You definitely be embarrassed or be too shy or something. Then you thought of Iwaizumi getting angry again. You shivered at it.
You were gonna leave it on his table.
Then you realized. You've been thinking about Oikawa so much, the cookie you made him looked much different from the others. Your head steamed.
His cookies were in shapes of hearts and had romatic words written on. Your heart was beating out of your chest upon the thought of giving this to him.
He cant know you'd do this. I mean why would you even do it when you know he doesn't like sweets. He wouldn't think its from you.
You didn't leave your name on his pack.
You then took your cookies and hid them in your room. Then you cleaned up your mess at the kitchen.
Your stomach grumbled, so you decided you were going to eat out for lunch. And maybe pay the boys a visit.

hey since ur doing funney block people: scott empires s1.
first impression: yk whats funny is i actually wasnt a scott main yet when s1 started, i’ve been watching lizzie since 2015 and having watched crazy craft i knew who he was, but not much of anything of what he’d been up to besides knowing mcc was a thing. i think my first proper introduction that i can think of was lizzie’s episode with deal with destiny.
current impression: THAT BEING SAID. SCOTT IS MY FAV EMPIRES S1 CHARACTER I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE IS MY MENTALLY ILL TRAGIC LITTLE MEOW MEOW BLORBO! HE IS SO CARES ABOUT HIS FRIENDS AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM EVEN AT COST TO HIMSELF AND I LOVE HIM SM!!!!
Tumblr media
favorite moment: okay genuinely maybe its the almost midnight but i cannot think of specific instances off the top of my head that easily but i also just really like scott’s content now so harder to narrow down maybe ... perhaps the confrontation with xornoth in the finale ??? tragic blorbo and all .....
but also deal with destiny lol ez dubs
idea for a story: as to not repeat myself with the uncorrupted stag brothers content from the xornoth ask i will instead say i am very into the concept of dsmp au type crossovers (be it dsmp characters pre-existing in empires or them getting like. smuggled over GDHGFG) and i do not know if i will write something for it. but the concept does exist in my brain
unpopular opinion: ...wra fans please don’t beat me up for this but i think scott’s response after what happened to gem was atleast a little warranted </3 like obviously gem getting hurt was bad but also she pushed him into the act of trying to use his powers. and i know with this next part it’s a fault on all of them not just the wra specifically but the fact that no one communicated about the fact that it was an accident and acted like it was an act of malice on scott’s end ???? gamer rage
favorite relationship: (vibrates) i am soooo normal abt flower husbands and the concept in empires of them being reincarnations from third life (and i definitely didnt put that concept in the worldbuilding of my dsmp au nooo sir!) and i definitely did not cry like a baby watching the flower husbands date episode on scott’s pov 
favorite headcanon: more or less inspired by and based on the one two birds animatic with him and xornoth, but i love the idea of scott when he was younger growing out his hair to match xornoth because he idolized his brother and thought he was so cool... only for xornoth’s betrayal to happen and scott being quickly crowned ruler of rivendell instead and racing to chop his hair off to avoid the association. but in addition to that i also like the idea that leading into/during his snowy exile he starts growing out his hair again, not caring about what people think of him in that regard anymore.

THE WARM THE COLD THE SIX … chapter 4
you didnt know what you felt after that night.
walking out of your room, youd always see geto cooking breakfast, only in a baggy attire that youd usually see. but it was different now, especially when you remember what happened.
memories would flood your mind, remembering the night geto was between your legs, him looking up at you whispering “so sorry” to you– meanwhile your clit was in his mouth. you remember gripping his black hair, seeing how hed roll his eyes back because of the sting, but knowing he was pleasing you was making his hips thrust against the mattress..
“you good, y/n?” geto brought you back to reality with that question, looking at you since youve came out of your cave.
“yeah. im okay. whatcha makin’?” you asked, leaning over next to him to be nosey. he chuckled.
“satoru was begging for one of us to make him pancakes. even though they can be really bread-y or fluffy.” geto had said, rolling his eyes. “then he wants them super sweet.” he chuckled, watching his ears turn a little red.
could.. geto and gojo? no way.
you were still thinking about the previous night, until the other one came by, which made your situation worse.
“theres my wife!” gojo chimed in too, smiling bright as if he found his favorite candy in the store thats been sold out for months.
the memories all came back, looking at gojo.
you remember gojo leaning in your ear, pinching your pierced nipples as he suckled on your ear and switching to a nipple, teasing you while he would occasionally push geto’s head in your pussy deeper. but he was mean with it, asking every five minutes “you like that, pretty slut?” or a “god, look at you! you finna cum, aint cha?” or his favorite whenever geto was fingering you so well “you cryin’?” with a chuckle after.
whenever you nodded to that particular question, gojo would hiss, and youd always feel his tip pushing up against your arm or side of your stomach. youd also feel how much precum was leakin—
“are you alright, pretty?” gojo and geto had asked in unison, shocking each other because of this, and looking away with a slightly red face.
“yeah.. uhm.” you had swallowed thickly, debating if you should bring up last night.
“youre thinking about it, arent you beautiful?” geto had asked, setting gojo and yours plates down with food. gojo immediately started cutting into his food.
“yeah…”
“gojo had came up with the idea, i felt bad that we chased your date away in the moment but.. not really as apologetic anymore.” geto had said, hoping that you’d understand.
“then why-“ you had started, but gojo had cut you off as always.
“i wasnt sorry for shit.” gojo had chuckled. “it’s technically your fault, we’re whats probably best for you, and you brought a non curse user here and you had no idea who he was? that makes me sad.” gojo faked sadness, but geto had slapped his backhead.
“nows not the time!” geto had whisper shouted.
“i… i guess???” you had said, “only if you both answer my question.” you said, taking a bite.
“anything fer you!” gojo had said lazily, but you knew he was excited.
“are.. you both like, gay for each other?” you had asked, hoping it didnt sound offensive.
gojo had went to speak, but geto had beat him to it.
“do you want us to be?” geto had asked, eyeing gojo every now and then but watching you. he had some type of feeling for gojo, and vice versa. gojo had whatever feeling for geto, and a feeling for you. it sometimes drove him mad, but he didnt bring it up.
“just asking.” you had responded back, feeling anxious. you tapped your fingers against the table.
gojo had rolled his eyes, groaning. “what does it mean for you? you wanna see me and geto get together? knew you were a little pervert.” gojo had smirked at you, watching both you and geto turn red.
“thats not–“ you had started..
“satoru—“ geto had started as well.
“no no, i get it, we can definitely try.” gojo had finalized, smiling at both of you. geto had felt nervous, almost a tug in his pants, but mainly because all three of you could get together and–
“we can try it tonight.”
reposts, shares, ideas and follows are much appreciated so you can see more of my stories!

no dont look at this, its a messy thought. shhh shush. whatever u about to type anon, dont look just leave. i know its a mess leave it alone. dont look at it. leave my blog.
new tenrose shippers - ten is only your boy when his attention is on rose standing literally in front of him.
the second tenth dr saw sarah jane. madame de pompadour grown up, joan (🤮the racist TWICE LIKE HELLO 7TH DR???) astrid peth, river song, martha in smith and jones COLD OPEN, cleopatra, lady christina, donna (tho she wasnt having any of it) queen elizabeth, claire pope had him gAGGING, the master but like they have now 60 years with each other so already rose never wouldve compared a passing glance to that leagues above connection him and master got: he was stumbling fumbling falling twirling his hair like there really was no tomorrow in falling in love
its ok to admit hes a hoe. hes the hoe, the original you might say.
but the way ten spoke to martha was essentially how 12 spoke to clara. he will be in the dead wrong and sTILL want you to peg him. martha left but if martha was played by a white girl, all of yall would be wanting her to stay.
the plan after runaway bride ep with martha, was essentially going to be tenth doctor romantically falling for the companion and the companion rebuffs him. the whole plan was for him to move on after runaway bride, try "dating" again. she was still supposed to be a dr and everything that we got, she was supposed to be poc which is who we got and how smith and jones is written ALL THE WAY UNTIL TEN RUNS AROUND THE CONSOLE was going according to that initial concept tit for tat.
and then studio (yknow the same mfs that also wanted a full jk rowling ep written by her praising herself and then her CAMEOING IN SAID EP???) said that the 'test audiences' didnt like it
so when i say i ship drrose, i only ship ninerose.
thats exactly where it stops.
tenrose can go die because lets be real, its mostly just ninth doctor being overprotective and tenth dr very clearly not to the point where she got separated and or possessed by something that fully intended to kill her in front of him and his attention is literally going 'wow monster that just tried murder rose in my face... call me😘'
if ten experiences the eps nine did, he would mourn, believe she is fully dead and blow the shit up without investigating it any further only to learn from another monster of the week with footage of her being alive and then blown up by him.
girl almost got mauled by the werewolf and he looking at the wouldbe attacker like hes ready to experience omegaverse in our face, rose and us be damned.
do you understand like i need yall to understand the problem in tenrose shipping isnt our girl: its him. ten. he almost gave an i love you to the master while strapped down bound and just moments before, gagged by the master TWICE. i need yall to understand. he was willing to basically sleep with astrid peth WHILE TRAVELING WITH HER BECAUSE HE SURE AS HELL DIDNT DISSUADE HER.
tentoo. barest of minimums: dont die. tenth doctor? polyamorous and if you squint really hard, loyal to a fault of their own making
at least river and martha kept him consistant in the personality he chose with them, cant say the same for the rest
doctordonna was right, the dr needs an equal and it aint human shop girl now defender of earth rose. tenth doctor made fucking sure of that *proceeds to continue to beat up tenth doctor*
cant believe that if billie comes back shes only going to be the moment and then we'll get to see billie bring billie back with opening those wormhole things.
i just want three billie pipers so i can see tenth doctor keel over and die early. i think it would be funny.

upsetti on main
#im rly conflicted#ive been dealing w something for like my entire life and im guilt tripped over it repeatedly and ive felt guilty for a rly long time for som#ething that i didnt rly know any better abt. like i made big mistakes as a kid and i wasnt that gr8 and now its held over me#and he repeatedly uses it as ammo whenever shit goes wrong. deadass said to my face that every insecurity of his is my fault#he does nothing to ever fix things. its always me. and im so beyond frustrated of having to make the effort that i physically cant even care#something horrible happens? hospital time? my brain doesnt let me care. and the amount of guilt i feel over that is even worse.#im just constantly beating myself up over shit i did a long time ago that i can never undo and we are never going to be the same and its my#ault. ive spent years fuelled by my own guilt that is hammered into me constantly and i think about it every fucking day#and my friend told me its okay. my brain is protecting me from dealing with this on loop forever and wont care anymore#and im still guilty but im relieved. but now im finally letting myself be mad at him for pulling this shit constantly and it strains our rel#ationship. i cant talk to him without thinking abt it. he doesnt even know im mad. but i refuse to constantly be the one to fix shit#and yet i hate the fact that now im half guilt half resentment bc i dont want to be a hateful person. i dont want to be driven by anger#but its so hard when youre pretty much held responsible for someones entire life. and hes at least partially right#sry i have so much going on in my head on backburn turmoil and we really out here feeling spicy sad tonight huh#not like thats new but i dont rly advertise my problems sry guys#hush catriona

———————
HEESEUNG
u worked at a pretty popular clothing store
and well well well heeseung had shown up dressed very much your style so u were like
Wow who is this guy....
he was alone just looking around
and there were like 10 other people in the store but u wanted to talk to him so bad so u went up like
“hi, welcome! are u finding everything okay?”
he was looking through a rack of shirts and turned around when he heard u but WOW
when this man turned around he looked even better in person u couldnt believe it 😫
BUT IT SEEMS HE FELT THE SAME BC U SWEAR HE BECAME SO FLUSTERED WHEN HE TURNED AROUND
his eyes got so wide u almost laughed it was so cute ☹️
he stuttered and was like “oh um im okay”
Aw man
but u said “okay then! let me know if you need any help finding anything or if u wanna use a dressing room!” and u sent him ur nicest smile u could give
his eyes were still kinda wide open and u gave him one last look before turning around😢😢
BUT THEN HE SAID SOMETHING
“w-wait! actually.. um....uh.. do u.. do u guys have sweatpants..?”
u giggled to urself on the inside bc u knew he just made that up on the spot
“we do! here, follow me”
while u were showing him the clothes u guys had exchanged names and had some small talk
and that was the start of something very Beautiful
and since then he has been coming almost everyday to visit u at work 🤗🤗
JAY
jay swore he found new things about u to love every single day
and today wasnt an exception!!!!
u knew jay had been really tired and just worn out from work recently so u had decided to make him his favorite meal for dinner
a nice little surprise for when he got home ❤️
and also the anime he was watching ready on the tv for u two to watch together :(
u had literally been preparing all day and u even decided to go out and buy dessert too
AWESOMEST PERSON EVER U ARE!
it was 8pm already and jay should be getting home now
u set the table all neatly and put on one of his sweaters
AND WOULD U LOOK AT THAT HE GOT HOME AS SOON AS U WERE DONE
Fate 🔥🔥
romantic stuff like this wasnt really ur forte so this was out of the normal for u
but u wanted to do something for jay because he did stuff like this for u alot
the table isnt in view when u walk into the apartment so he wasnt able to see his dinner yet
“hi” you smile brightly and go up to hug him and give him a little kiss
he had his bad slung over one of his shoulders and he was taking his shoes off in the doorway after he closed it
“hey.. it smells pretty good in here” he gave you a tired smile while one of his arms was wrapped around your waist
“really? it smells normal to me” you giggled before walking to the kitchen area together
he stopped and looked at u with LITERAL HEARTS IN HIS EYES when he saw the table
jay: ❤️_❤️
“y/n..”
“surprise!!! you know im not good with words but i wanted to show you that i can cook” you laugh “and that i love you very much and im so proud of you”
jay doesnt say anything but instead drops his bag on the couch and gives u the Biggest Hug Ever
ur face is practically smushed in his chest and his hand is resting lovingly on ur hair :(((
he loves u so much im so sad
JAKE
“layla!!! layla where are you?” jake was yelling quite loudly in the massive park he was in the middle of
yeah jake lost layla.. uh oh
quite a coincidence you found the cutest dog you’d ever laid eyes on
and she seemed to love u very much
the dog had made u topple over and now she was excitedly playing with you while you were sat on the ground laughing to your hearts content
after a minute of playing you had got up because you knew she was somebodys lost dog and her owner was probably looking all over the park for her
“okay.. lets go find your owner before they have a heart attack” you giggle
just as you said that though, you heard a boys voice yell “LAYLA!!!!”
the dog next to you looked in his direction, tail wagging and tongue out, but she didnt move an inch from her spot next to you
it made me you laugh out loud
as you were watching the boy run up to you, you noticed how cute he actually was
Omg..... ur heart started beating a little faster
“hi..” the boy hunched over with his hands on his knees breathing very heavily “you have my dog”
“uh yeah” you laugh “sorry about that, she ran over to me a couple minutes ago and i was just about to go find her owner”
“its okay, thank you..” he trailed off to find out your name and finally looked up to meet your eyes
“y/n” you told him
“y/n” he repeated with a small grin on his face “im jake”
“hi jake” you lightheartedly give him your hand to shake and he chuckles before taking the offer
“and it was nice meeting you layla” you crouch down to meet her level and she licks your face making you fall on your butt
you laugh and jakes quick to help you up
“layla! thats not very nice” he jokingly scolds her and pets her head
after u got up u bid goodbye to the two before jake invited u to continue walking around the park AND HE EVEN BOUGHT U AN ICE CREAM
Is This A Date, Jake? 😫😫❤️❤️❤️❤️😳😛😛
SUNGHOON
“you should be more careful” you scold the boy sitting with you standing between his legs
sunghoon had apparently gotten elbowed in the face by his friend and scratched by his friends cat on accident????
“it wasn’t my fault! he turned around and i just happened to be in the way. and i didnt even do anything to the cat!” he whined
“i didnt say it was your fault. i said to be more careful.” you tried to sound stern
u knew ur logic was making no sense but u just thought it was so fun to mess with him
he let out a sigh and gave up, slouching over again
you were stood between his legs, wiping the blood away and applying ointment
“im just kidding, you’re so cute” one of your free hands comes up to rub his hair
a small grin pops up on his face and his arms come to rest on your waist
he looks up at you while you focus on tending to his wounds
and u guessed it WITH LITERAL HEARTS IN HIS EYES
❤️_❤️
“you know y/n” he begins
you hum in response, letting him know you’re listening
“im gonna marry you one day”
you freeze in your place
it took you a minute to collect yourself because you felt like your heart almost leaped out of your chest
“who says?” you joke
he leans up to give you a quick kiss on the lips before sitting back down
“me.”
SUNOO
you noticed sunoo had been really tired lately and u just wanted to make him feel better :((
the boys were going out and invited you two obviously but you could tell sunoo was iffy about going
“uhh..” you trail off and look over at sunoo who was laying on the couch
“you know what guys? i think me and sunoo are gonna stay home today.. you guys have fun though!” you bid goodbye to the other boys and they all understood and left
you dont even know if sunoo knew they had left already because when you walked over to him his tired eyes were glued on the tv
“hey” you leaned against the couch and looked down at him
“y/n? are we going soon?” his eyes move to the top of his head to look up at you
you start laughing and he literally goes 🤨???
“silly, they already left! so what do you wanna do?” you plop down next to him and he was in the process of sitting up
“what? when did they leave...” his mouth drops open
“like 2 minutes ago” you giggle, leaning back to rest your head
sunoo had sat still, pondering for a moment
“why did they leave us?” he turned to look at you
your eyes met his “well i figured you didnt wanna go... you didnt, right?”
he slowly shakes his head “how did you know?”
you give him a sneaky smile and jokingly push his arm “because i know you so well”
he laughs at this and leans his head on your shoulder
“wow y/n.. im impressed” he grins, snuggling into your arm
your other arm crosses over to pat him on the head, leaning your head to rest on top of his
“but thank you y/n..” his eyes slowly close to rest “im thankful for all the little things you notice about me”
u literally go 🥺
your hand goes down to squeeze his and he falls asleep peacefully on ur shoulder ☹️☹️☹️❤️
JUNGWON
“y/n..what is that” jungwons eyes can barely open as he tries to comprehend whats going on while hes waking up
you haphazardly tap around the bedside table trying to turn off the new alarm you set last night
and that new alarm was jungwon singing 🤗
“its you, dummy” your eyes were still closed but you turned to face jungwon and snuggled closer to him
“wha- where did you even get that???” he was almost fully awake now, staring down at your half asleep figure
you yawned before answering in your i-just-woke-up-and-i-should-probably-drink-some-water voice “remember when you sang me to sleep last week? yeah i was secretly recording you. no biggie” you pat his chest twice and leave your hand there, content with life at the moment Lol
“y/nnnn” he whines “change ittt i dont like it”
“you’re kidding.” you deadpan, shocked he would say such a thing!!! “jungwon you sound like an angel threw up on a field of flowers full of puppies and kittens! okay thats kinda weird maybe not that”
jungwon giggles a little and sits up so he can sit against the headboard while your head rests on his lap
“you like my singing that much?” you can hear the smile in his voice as he asks you
you finally pop one eye open to look up at him, a goofy grin in your face
“i love your singing”
his hands run through your hair and you let out a sigh at the feeling
jungwon doesnt say anything
all he does is admire you
you can feel his eyes on you so you open your eyes again (both this time🙏🏼) and meet his eyes
“i can feel you staring straight into the depths of my soul, jungwon”
he laughs at this, bring his other hand up to pinch your cheek
“i’ll sing for you whenever you want me to y/n”
NI-KI
“shut up sunghoon, hes sleeping” you whisper-scolded the boy
ni-ki was currently asleep on you
literally SPRAWLED all over your body and you were basically mummified
by nishimura riki
his legs were tangled in yours, his head shoved into your neck, and his arms were bent around you in ways you didnt know were humanly possible
“you literally have an alien taking a nap on you y/n” sunghoon deadpans before walking out the room
“when you’re asleep sunghoon i will send you into a spacecraft for the rest of your life so you can go see aliens for yourself”
“wowww im so scared y/n” the boy remarks and shuts the door
you half laugh and half scoff before turning your attention back to the ipad screen sitting on the bed infront of you
well
kind of infront of you because ni-ki’s acrobatic position was basically blocking the view
you were having a decent time watching the show playing, definitely not the most comfortable person on the planet at the moment
until you felt the body on top of you.. rumble?
you knew that feeling
ni-ki was laughing
HOW and WHY the hell was he laughing ?!!?!!?!
“what the hell?” you look down at him and his face is shoved near your shoulder but you caught a glimpse of his big smile
his laughter gets louder and you still dont have answers yet
“why are you laughing???? i thought you were sleeping?????” you try to push him off you but he was persistent in laughing in your shoulder (??)
after a couple minutes of you just letting this happen
ni-ki finally speaks!
“you’re so funny y/n” he finally pulls away from you and wipes his tears
“what are you even talking about... and how long were you awake, you sneaky kid” you poke his chest
he leans down again to hug your waist and start cuddling you again
“10 minutes”
“so you’re telling me i could’ve freed myself from that god awful demon EMBRACE you had me in 10 minutes ago???!!”
ni-ki starts laughing again and looks up at you
“thank you for threatening to send sunghoon to aliens for me y/n” he grins
you laugh, finally understanding what the boy had been going on about
“sunghoon deserved it”

can I hear your thoughts on the nijimura brothers? your drawing of keicho holding okuyasu pierced by the arrow really got to me ;-; feelings about them are extra sad because I'm on a diu rewatch right now and the latest episode I watched was in the nijimura brothers arc
YES PLEASE so many thoughts
Warning though it's a little bleak? And these are just my personal feelings because of my own personal experiences, so they might not be for everyone but they ARE for me.
(Content warning: gonna be mentioning abuse in this one)
You can put up with and get used to just the damndest things when it's what you know best, and what's unknown is unstable and scary, and rocking the boat means things might get worse before they get better. I think Nijimura brothers were codependent and very toxic for each other, even though they definitely loved each other. Family is like that sometimes.
But they're like, not as codependent as they themselves think. The consensus between them is that Okuyasu needs Keicho, and he did when they were kids, but in my opinion it's the other way around by the time they're introduced.
Okuyasu is like, surprisingly well adjusted and responsible after Keicho's death, although he's definitely sensitive about it for a long time after. As far as we know, he manages to live alone and take care of his father and cat as well as himself, and he was pretty quick to go back to school and (deliberately??) get himself a social net. He puts his lottery money into savings, and he sucks at school but he DOES go most days if not every day. For a 16 year old with no family but his amnesiac mutated dad, he is....doing great??
Keicho was, for a lack of better language, a little off his rocker by the end? Shooting people with the arrow willy nilly, not caring if people died, not even caring if Okuyasu got mortally wounded. He was definitely Okuyasu's rock at the start, but I think with time, it just wore him down to the marrow. Trying to be a shield from abuse for your brother, raising him / helping his upbringing, being in foster homes / taking care of yourself and a younger kid will do that to a guy. The cycle of abuse and whatnot; I mean shit they were tiny kids when their father started abusing them, that's horrible! ...but amnesiac mutated dad Nijimura cant speak, can't defend himself.... Keicho's violence is also horrible. And Okuyasu was a witness to all of it.
Imagine if you knew, from experience, that your brother-guardian is capable of intense cruelty and murder, seeing it happen often, being ordered to help with it. (Keicho routinely beat their father, shot and maybe killed people with the arrow, told Okuyasu he didn't deserve to live if he didn't perform properly.) Okuyasu did as Keicho told him and even refused to sell his brother out to Josuke after being mortally wounded by him. Imagine knowing that and believing 100% that you deserve whatever happens to you, at your brother's hands or not, and -importantly- loving him with your whole heart anyway. That's fuckin heartbreaking, man.
Okuyasu basically deals with various degrees of abuse for most of his life, and Keicho is his only constant. Keicho loves and provides for him, but Keicho also seems to hate him. Keicho protects and guides him, but Okuyasu has seen and felt what happens when Keicho decides he doesn't care about you.
But the same goes for Keicho. He's had to pull out every coping mechanism to try and make life work for the both of them, and no one taught him how. I often think about it like... yeah, Keicho was cruel and distant, because that was all he knew. He didn't have a big brother to look out for him, just himself and his little brother that he had to take care of. I remember being irritated at my little brother when I had to babysit him often, and that wasnt even his fault at all. Imagine how mad you would be at everyone and everything if you were put into Keicho's shoes. Some days, even when they didn't get along, Okuyasu might've been the only sunshine in Keicho's life. And with how controlling he is and how much he DOES love his little brother, he probably wanted to hang onto that, even when it was hurting both of them, or it meant stunting Okuyasu's ability to be on his own (probably indirectly). Because Keicho needs him to stay.
I think that's basically how things ended up progressing: Keicho was incredibly stressed out from taking care of his brother and father - I think maybe he started out actually caring for Dad Nijimura, but grew into just wanting him dead. No one has ever come through for him, he feels alone and against the world, his brother can't take care of himself and doesn't pull his own weight- Keicho has gone past being angry to just being apathetic and disgusted with his world.
And it's not that Okuyasu can't take care of himself or won't pull his own weight, but he's so firmly under Keicho's thumb he doesn't really try. Keicho is the one in charge and Okuyasu does as he's told, that's how it's always been and that's that. He knows talking back and trying to change things just makes Keicho angry, which is bad, and Keicho tells him frequently how Okuyasu is hopeless without him, so its must be true- things are just easier this way.
They both fall into this stagnant way of living because it has worked for them so far and they need some kind of outside influence for change to happen.
And by the end, we're told that Keicho did, despite everything, love Okuyasu back. So much he'd die for him. But he was too proud and jaded to live for him instead, which is what Okuyasu would have wanted.
Wanted, not needed, because what Okuyasu needed was support and affection, not orders and tough love. When Josuke comes along, Okuyasu finally gets what he needed, and he flourishes. He's a good person, he's happy, he has very dear friends who encourage and support him, and he has Josuke, and Okuyasu would die for him for sure but more importantly he decided to live for him, and that means living without Keicho. And it was the right decision to make.

ML What if:
(What if Luka told Ladybug the truth in Ephemeral?)
Okay so obviously spoilers for the 100th episode of Miraculous Ladybug will be in this what if. So you have been warned
-The fight with Moolak went about the same
-But Viperion felt a pit in his stomach. Ladybug was frantic about finding where Chat noir was. He knew where he was. But could he really tell her? He wasnt suppose to know.
-Viperion held his tongue, he just did what he was told and sure enough Moolak was defeated.
-As Ladybug was about to take Viperion's miraculous.
-"Its a good thing you had your second chance, it would have been impossible to beat him without chat noir here." Ladybug confided.
-Luka felt the guilt build up more. Was his decision really the right call? What if he had failed? What if the safe really didnt have the right combo and was just for show?
-"Ladybug I..."
-Su Han appeared, and sure enough he had some words for Ladybug.
-The conversation was basically the same, but Luka really listened to every word.
-After Su Han Left, Ladybug looked gloomy.
-Viperion realized, what he was doing right now wasnt helping her emotional state. If anything, not telling her he knew was causing her to be even more stressed.
-But the the real nail in the coffin was he heard her plan.
-"Wait, why dont I just ask him instead?"
-"He wont tell anyone else but me."
-It was at this moment that Viperion realized what he was causing. He was going to destroy her relationship with Chat noir, with Adrien. If He ever found out that 'His Lady' went behind his back. It would be heartbreaking. All he would really want was Ladybug to be honest with him... Viperion decided to speak up.
-"...You understand the plan?"
-"We dont need to do this. I already know."
-Ladybug paused.
-"What?"
-"I know who chat noir is under the mask."
-Ladybug's expression shifted.
-"You knew?"
-"Yes."
-"How could you possibly..." Ladybug realized how he knew. "No..."
-"Im sorry."
-"During wishmaker, when I asked if you if anyone knew chat or my identity you..."
-"I said your identities were safe." He responded
-"Dont pull that line with me! I asked you if you knew and you lied to my face."
-Ladybug was understandably angry.
-"You were under a lot of stress. It was better if you..."
-"Dont pretend like this was about me! This is about you! You were someone i trusted to be level headed, to be honest! We broke up because I couldnt be honest with you. And then you just..."
-"And I Understand why that is. I understand you better, and yes I should have told you sooner. But now you know. It works out better. I can get you or him if there is trouble. I can help carry that burden. We can even be..."
-Ladybug looked at him, still not believing what he was saying. Luka stopped what he was going to say and pivoted
-"Im stopping you from making a mistake right now. Do you think Chat noir would be happy to find out one day that you tricked him to reveal his identity so that monk found out?"
-Ladybug's expression softened a bit.
-"I am going to meet with Chat noir. Hand over the miraculous."
-Viperion took off the miraculous and handed it to her.
-Ladybug looked at him, clearly ready to say more.
-"We will talk about this later." She stated coldly.
-She was about to head out of the sewer, but stopped.
-"You should have told me this much earlier."
-Luka took a sad sigh at that, he couldnt blame her. It was his fault. But he finally wasnt lying and that in itself was a weird relief.
_____________________________________________________________
-The meeting at the Eiffel tower occurred in canon
-Chat noir apologizes to Ladybug about missing her messages. The banter was the same until Ladybug had something to tell him.
-"Viperion, Knows our identities."
-Chat noir was stunned to hear that. He knew that Viperion was Luka, but he wasnt sure he was suppose to know that.
-"He does? How would he..."
-"Remember wishmaker?"
-"Oh yea, he turned a guy into a cucumber. It was disturbing"
-"Yea, well apparently he lied to me and said that our identities were never revealed. But he knew them both."
-Chat noir was completely shocked by that. He had always saw Luka as a really honest and easy-going guy. To lie... its just seems so wrong.
-I wont get into details, but you should know the face of someone that knows your identity. It is Luka Couffaine.
-"I dont know how well you know him..."
-"I know off him well enough Buggaboo." Chat noir assured. "I am surprised."
-Chat noir sat down.
-"That is a lot to take in."
-"Sadly there is more."
-"Oh no."
-"Well, after today's incident, Su han showed up and demanded to know who you are or he would take your miraculous."
-Chat noir was stunned at the words.
-"He cant do that!"
-"It would be a fight and honestly even though he sees me as a guardian, he did make a fair point. Someone should know who you are. So i am going to ask to see if you would be okay with Luka telling him."
-Chat noir blinked.
-"What?"
-"Its your identity Chat noir. But if the option is losing you entirely or having Su han find out."
-Chat noir could see Ladybug's sorrow and caved in.
-"Ill allow it."
-"Thanks kitty."
-"But I need to talk to you about a few things.
-Ladybug lnodded.
-"But first, what are you going to do about Luka Knowing our identities? You mentioned that our identities are kind of a big deal?"
-"I think since this involves both our identities, we should decide together."
_____________________________________________________________
So folks this is the end of Part one
and here we have the crucial choice to make.
1. Ladybug and Chat noir decide to forgive Luka and allow him to stay on the team. He would be the one that can pass messages to the other if needed.
2. Luka will not be allowed to be a hero again, unless its life or death.
3. They will Ask Su han if there is some way of dealing with Luka (without killing him). Thus permanent no hero knowledge.
Reply to the post with your choice and why.

Love me, love me, say that you love me
Musical beetlejuice x fem reader
Beej hits you with a love potion to get you to confess you love him, it goes wrong
Dubious consent, nsft, nothing serious happens, you know me
"Satisfaction guaranteed..." the ghoul mumble to himself as he read the label of the bottle he was holding.
Beetlejuice, you're undead demonic, freeloader of a roommate, had just come back from a quick trip to the netherworld, and unlike his other trips, it wasnt for business, but pleasure, a quick shopping trip while you were out of the house.
"For the chunk of change you cost, it better" the ghoul smiled, pink streaks creeping into his hair.
In his hands was a pink bottle shaped like a human heart, a perfume type atomizer spray bottle.
Beetlejuice KNEW you liked him, but he also knew you were a coward about it, yes your shyness was cute, and the way you danced around this fact did have its charms, but the time has come for you to spit it out, you had to make the first move, not him.
Yes the demon could charm you, but you wouldnt take him seriously, he knew that, beetlejuice knew his flirting towards you and his advances towards you were seen as a joke, and why wouldnt it, he knew he couldnt be taken seriously, he took every chance he had to make a crude joke, why would anyone take him seriously, so he played it up to get you to smile, or even to get you embarrassed was also nice.
But today was different, today beetlejuice was gonna get you to say "I love you" albeit with force, but that was something he could live/die with.
The ghoul, now buzzing electric pink and green ready's himself at the door, waiting for his sweet breather to come in him trap.
You were on your way back from the post office to pick up a package that you or beej werent home to sign for, it was just some clothes, nothing too exciting, but a nice excuse to get out of the house for a nice walk, as much as you loved spending time with your undead friend, who you may or may not have a crush on, it was nice to have some alone time.
You walk into you apartment complex and slowly make it back to your flat, you fumble with your keys as you unlock the door, the soft jingle and muffled cursing was a great single to beetlejuice that you were home, the ghoul takes a deep breath, not that he needed too, and gets into position, readying the bottle's nozzle to the level of your face.
"I'm home-" was all you got out before receiving a face full of god knows what, you prayed it was water, wiping your face and rubbing your eyes, you didnt need to see who the culprit was for this shitty joke, pulling your hands from your face, you saw the demon standing infront of you, arms stretched out in a pre hug position, eyes closed, lips puckered, slightly leaning towards you.
Your anger quickly faded, but was replaced with confusion, you say nothing but only stare at the ghoul.
Seconds pass, beetlejuice opens on eye to see what the hold up was, was there a delay with the potion? Does it take a minute to kick in? Or was it a peice of junk?
Beetlejuice drops his awkward position, and smooths back his hair, trying to hide to spots the purple trying to emerge.
"So y/n, welcome home" he starts off shaky "you feel okay? Maybe a little warmer? Heart beating a little faster? Maybe even a little eager to jump someone or tell them something deep?" Subtle
"What are you talking about? Beetlejuice what the hell was that about?!" You huff
The ghoul is taken back by your tone, he was expecting you to be more soft, after a spray of that crap, he scowls glancing down to the bottle in his hands, waste of money, unless, he drops his scowl and focuses back to you, a sly smile plastered across his face.
"Just some netherworld perfume, very popular stuff, thought I'd surprise my favorite breather with it"
"Suprise is right" you grumble walking passed him, heading to the living room you place your things on the table, beetlejuice was quick to follow.
"How bout another try babes? I promise I wont get ya in the face, though I prefer to squirt ya in the face~"
"I dont know bee, I'm not that really into perfume" you shurg
Beetlejuice frowns and huffs out his nose, for what he paid for this peice of shit he wasnt gonna give up after one shot.
"Come on babes, do it for your good pal~" he pleads
You frown in response
"Okay sugar, you know regardless of what you say I'm gonna get what I want, so just play ball"
"Fine" you grumble, you can always take a shower later, hell you were going to anyway, your face felt gross after being hit by that stuff earlier.
The demon's face lights up at your answer, you held out your wrist as an indicator that you wanted to be sprayed their and were ready for it, though that wish was completely ignored, as the ghoul quickly leans forward and sprays you in the face again.
The ghoul stares at you praying to whatever and whoever for this to work, you turn away from the demon, curse under your breath and rub at your face.
As you rub your face beetlejuice goes back into position, arms stretched out, lips puckered, ready to receive your love, and hoping you wont banish him if this didnt work.
Moving your hands from your face you let out sigh, you jolt feeling a familiar twinge in your lower reigns, a desperate pulse for attention, you could feel your heart racing, your head was swimming, turning to face the ghoul, the second you laid your eyes on him the pulsing inbetween your legs intensifies, give let out a soft "bee" before leaping into his arms, slamming your lips into his, and wrapping your legs around his waist. The demon's eyes shoot open at this, his hands were quick to grab onto your rear, a mix of holding you up and feeling you up, his hair bloomed from green to pink in a flash, hell he was so excited his stripes went from black to pink.
"Oh Lawrence" you breathed between kisses, beetlejuice only hummed in response, too lost in this bliss to think.
"Couch?" You whine as you wiggle your hips against his semi.
"Holy crap" he groans, this was really happening, he quickly brought you to the couch, flopping down on his back, having you sit pretty on top of him.
You continue to kiss him, shoving your tongue in his mouth, the ghoul loved you taking charge, he dreamed of it often, he didnt put up a fight and gave you the dominance to explore his mouth, pulling away to breath, a nice line of spit connected the two of you. You move your attention on to the demon's neck, peppering it with kisses and giving the occasional nip at his cold flesh.
Beetlejuice was over the moon with this change in demeanor, who knew his y/n would have it in them, the ghoul purs feeling your hands roam his body, his hands plant firmly on your rear, giving it a small pinch every once and again, everytime you would respond with a whine.
He was in heaven, or as close as an undead demon was gonna get.
You give his tie a tug, as if to ask for permission to continue, beetlejuice moans encouraging you to keep going.
You give the demon a quick kiss on the lips, moving to his jawline, to his neck, as you untie his tie, you toss the garment aside as you start to work on his shirt's buttons, kissing every inch of skin that is slowly revealed.
You move down his body, the demons chest and stomach fully exposed, and kissed, beetlejuice was in a complete daze from your love, but quickly snaps out of it when he feels you palm the tent in his pants.
"Whoa babes-"
"Is this for me?~" you coo "it looks so big~" you sigh giving the tent a light squeeze "it's really hard"
Beetlejuice quickly sits up, stifling a moan.
"Babes, y/n, just hold it-"
"Oh, would you rather be on top?" You ask softly crawling towards him "or would you rather I not use my hands? I can give it a kiss if you want" You crawl back into the demon's arms leaning in for another kiss, you stumble forward as beetlejuice quickly vanished, reappearing a few feet away from you, the demon pulling his shirt together, as if trying to hide himself.
"Let's just take a second here, likes put a pin in this, and ah, just relax" god slash satan this wasnt fair, and maybe 100 percent his fault, here you were drugged out of your mind begging him to have sex with you, jesus all he needed from you was a simple "I love you" not this, but he'll sure be thinking about this later.
"Why dont ya cool down babes, and we can talk about this"
"How can I cool down, when I'm so hot for you" you moan as you  unbutton your shirt, fully exposing your lacy black bra, the demon swallows hard, you slowly stand up letting your shirt fall, your hands traveling behind your back as you unhooked your bra, letting it fall to the floor.
"Oh fuck"  beetlejuice whines in a higher pitch,
You slowly make your way over to him, gently grabbing one of his hands and bringing it to your exposed chest "your hands are so nice and cold, maybe you could help me cool down?"
God slash satan did he wanted to give your boob a nice squeeze, but you're not you right now, he pulls his hand away, then places both of his hands on your shoulders, your skin was hot to the touch. Averting your gaze he clears his throat
"Maybe a cold shower would be help ya out"
"Maybe if you join me" you sigh leaning into the demon's chest, your hands resting on his hips.
"Y/n-"
"Are you sure you dont want help with your 'little friend'?"
Any other time he'd be delighted to have you help, but now was not that time.
"Let's just take a second here babes, we'll fool around later okay, I mean do you have condoms? I dont have any on me, we need protection"  beetlejuice knew he couldnt get you sick or pregnant since he was a dead demon, but you didnt know that. "And besides, no means no, you know that y/n" BJ didnt exactly blame you, you werent in your right mind, you were horny as hell thanks to that stupid potion, of course you couldnt think straight.
You pull away from him, mortified at your pushy behavior "I'm sorry" you breath out "I just, I couldn't help myself Lawrence, you're just, I mean, i just love you so much, my body needed you" you began to cry "you're always saying how much you want me, and how you're "ready to go" all the time, I just thought-" you babbled, tears rolling down your cheeks
I love you
Those 3 little words he ached to hear, not how he wanted to hear them, but this whole thing was a mess.
"Babes, it's okay, I was enjoying it, believe me, it's just that I'm not ready to go all the way with you, let's just give it some time" which wasnt true, if you were willing so was he, willing as in not drugged. "And yeah, I talk a big game, but believe me doll, i want our first time to be special, so Hows bought you go put a top on, and we can put this little mess behind us?" It was an odd day when this harbinger of chaos had to be a voice of reason.
You nodded as you slip away to collect your bra and shirt that were tossed aside, beetlejuice frowns at this situation and wanders off to the item that started it, retrieving the bottle he squints at the label to read the rest of the instructions he didnt bother reading, and their it was, in the fine print 'warning, do not use on the living, results may vary and are not limited to  nausea, drowsiness, intense sexual desires-' he groans then curses.
"Beetlejuice?"
The ghoul turns his attention to you, fully dressed.
"No hard feelings, aside from your, you know"
The demon gives you a soft laugh "no hard feelings babes"
"Could I have a hug? I promise to behave" it's not that the pulsing in your loins stopped, in fact the intensity was stronger now, you just wanted to be close the ghoul before dealing with these feelings alone, there was no harm in that
Beetlejuice pauses for a second, before smiling "alright sugar, bring it in" there was no harm in a hug, sure his dick was still kinda hard, but that's fine.
You walk into the ghoul's arms, slowly circling your own around him, beetlejuice gently pats your back. You nuzzle into his neck, and whisper "I love you Lawrence" before planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
Pulling away from the ghoul, his scent, and touch fresh in your mind you make your way to the bathroom to shower, amongst other things.
If you were to turn back you would have seen a glowing pink Beej who's legs are about to give out
"ARRGHHH! That's worse... They're killing me again!" 
The should of the shower rings through the ghoul's ears, he grumbles as he puts his suit back together, grabbing the bottle that started it all he snaps his fingers and vanishes, off to give the schmuck who sold this to him a peice if his mind.
...
A few hours later beetlejuice reappears into your living room, grumbling to himself as he tucks the bottle into his jacket, no sense tossing it, maybe when the two of you are knocking boots, he could use it as an aphrodisiac, with your consent of course.
"Bee? Is that you?" Your voice rings through your flat, it was late, beetlejuice was hoping youd be asleep when he came back.
The ghoul makes his way to your room.
"Yeah, I had to take care of something"
"I was just about to go to bed" you were sitting on your bed wearing an over sized shirt that just covered your bum, the ghoul's eyes glance about, stopping at your vibrator that was now laying on the floor, he could smell the sex in the air, another time this would have been delightful.
"Do you want to join me? Sleeping? Like you normally do?" You sounded a tad too eager "I mean if you feel comfortable"
Beetlejuice gives you smile "sure" he snaps away his suit, leaving a pair of boxers, seeing your eyes light up was something he had to burn in his brain forever.
You scramble under the covers waiting for the demon to join you, which he promptly did.
"Is it okay if I snuggle with you?" You ask softly
"Anything you want babes" he purred, you quickly snuggle up to him, using his soft chest as a pillow, your hand petting the hair on his stomach.
"If you change your mind, I'm not wearing any panties" you whisper in the demons ear.
This was gonna be a long night
...
Bonus
The next morning beetlejuice woke up to an empty bed, confused he made his way to the living room, and there you were, sitting on the couch with your face in your hands.
"Morning?" He greets you
No response
"Babes?"
Nothing, beetlejuice makes his way to you, sitting down next to you, he places a hand on your shoulder, you flinch.
"Wake up and smell the coffee babycakes-"
"I am so sorry for yesterday, I- i don't know what came over me, i- beetlejuice, I so sorry for putting you into that type of situation, I-" you sobbed
The ghoul's hair quickly bloomed purple, you're blaming yourself for what he did to you "dont worry your pretty little head sweetheart, it was that perfume, how was I supposed to know it messed with breathers, believe me I gave that guy who sold it to me a peice of my mind, my poor little y/n warped and twisted into someone hornier then me" it wasnt all true, but beetlejuice couldnt have you beating yourself up over this, nor did he want to tell you the full truth.
"Really?" You sniffle
"Really"
You lean into the demon and he pulls you into a soft embrace, patting your back.
"How's bout we order some take out and I put a smile on that sweet face of yours?"
You pull away from beetlejuice and rub away your tears "I'd like that"

it’s just around the corner darling (‘cause it lives in me)
8-year-old Annabeth is supposed to be sleeping. Instead, she overhears a few things she probably shouldn't.
***
Aka I get very in my feels about pre-TLT found family and baby Annabeth
“She’s a little kid, of course she’s fuckin’ slow.”
Thalia’s words seemed to turn Annabeth’s blood to ice.
She was supposed to be sleeping, and she almost had been before Grover and Thalia had started yelling at each other outside the door of the safe house they’d just barely made it too.
Well, until Thalia had started yelling at Grover, because Grover didn’t really yell, and he definitely didn’t yell at Thalia, who he always seemed particularly nervous and twitchy around.
All thoughts of sleeping were immediately banished as panic seized Annabeth instead.
Read on AO3
She kept herself as still as possible, eyes shut like she was sleeping. She heard Luke shift, maybe looking over his shoulder.
Annabeth wished she could see his face. Did he think she was slow too? Did Grover want to leave her behind? Luke would never let that happen, Annabeth knew that much, but she couldn’t help the guilt from washing over her anyway. Luke had had to carry her the last few miles tonight because her legs just wouldn’t work anymore, not matter how hard she tried to push them. That had only happened a few times ever, Annabeth made sure of it, but she knew they were trying to go fast now, and they were walking and running more than they ever had before. Luke hadn’t been mad, just scooped her up when he saw her stumbling. But they had gone slower after that, and it was her fault.
Annabeth felt her eyes prickle with tears, and she blinked them into her makeshift pillow. Crying was stupid, and it wasnt going to make her faster. She willed herself to stop before anyone could hear— Luke thought she was asleep, and she didn’t want to admit that she wasn’t.
Thalia and Grover were talking again, but their voices were just barely too quiet for her to make out the words. Thalia sounded mad, and Grover was talking fast, like he was trying to get the words out before Thalia yelled at him again. Annabeth picked up Grover saying “please” a few times, and then Thalia saying “no” very forcefully. They argued for another minute, Annabeth’s heart beating in nervous anticipation for each word.
“Don’t bring it up again,” Thalia snapped, loud enough for Annabeth to hear, and then she heard the door of the safe house being pulled back, and soft footsteps walking inside.
“Is she asleep?” Thalia asked, her voice barely above a whisper. It was a sharp contrast from the tone she’d been using outside with Grover. Luke must have nodded, because Thalia sighed, and Annabeth heard her sitting down.
“What was that all about?” Luke asked. Annabeth could hear the forced casual tone he was putting on. If Annabeth had heard part of the conversation then Luke must have too, but he seemed like he wanted Thalia herself to tell him. Thalia made a displeased noise.
“Grover wants me and him to go ahead. Without you two,” she said, lowering her voice even more than she had when she first entered the safe house. Despite how quiet they were, Annabeth could still practically feel the distaste in her words. Annabeth could feel her heart speeding up uncomfortably. Was Thalia going to leave them behind? But she didn’t sound happy about it at all, and that calmed Annabeth’s nerves a little.
“What did you say?” Luke asked. The forced tone was gone, replaced by irritation, Annabeth thought. It was harder to tell without being able to see his expression, but Annabeth could imagine the frown on his face pretty well.
“I told him where he could stick his furry little hooves,” Thalia muttered bitterly. Annabeth didn’t quite understand what that meant, but judging from the way Luke snorted it was probably kind of rude.
“Bet he liked that,” Luke said, sarcastically.
“Whatever. He’s the reason we’re behind anyway,” Thalia said.
She sounded angry. Annabeth knew that shouldn’t make her feel good. Thalia being mad never tended to end well, regardless of where her anger was directed. But Annabeth couldn’t help but feel a rush of relief anyway. If Thalia was angry at Grover’s suggestion then that meant wasn’t leaving.
At the same time, her words filled Annabeth with dread. They were behind, and that was bad, and Annabeth was slowing them down. Even Thalia had said so.
“Why did he want to split up at all? Isn’t three fighters better than one?” Luke asked. The forced casualness was back, and Annabeth didn’t like it, but she couldn’t help but feel a little burst of pride that he’d counted her as one of the fighters in the group.
Thalia sighed again, and Annabeth heard a scraping noise. A second later the heat from the campfire flared.
“He said it would be faster,” Thalia said finally, reluctantly, “And that it might be safer for you two to not have me around.”
“That’s bullshit,” Luke said, angrily.
“I… I don’t know. Maybe.”
“What, you think you’re special?” Luke said, though now his tone was laced with amusement.
“Well apparently I smell extra tasty,” Thalia replied, only a hint sarcastic. Luke laughed, low and quiet.
“I don’t think it matters,” he said, “Annie had monsters crawling all over her all by herself.”
Annabeth had to actively repress a shudder at the thought. She couldn’t move, couldn’t let them figure out she was awake— they would stop talking about adult things and she would miss it.
“That’s true,” Thalia said, though she didn’t sound entirely convinced.
“You’re not thinking about it, are you?”
“Of course I’m not,” Thalia said, sounding offended that Luke had even asked, “I’m pissed he even brought it up, especially after Annabeth was the one to save all our asses from that cyclops. He kept saying she’s slowing us down but we’d all be dead without her.”
Annabeth felt the same mixture of dread and pride as before. She was useful enough to not leave behind. Even if she was slow, and thinking of the cyclops cave made her want to cry.
“Asshole. He’s the one slowing us down, not knowing where the fuck he’s going,” Luke muttered darkly.
“I almost feel bad for the guy,” Thalia sighed. Annabeth heard more scraping and felt the fire flare again. “I mean he’s a kid just like us.”
“A kid who’s going to get us all killed if we’re not careful.”
Thalia hummed in agreement, and they were quiet for a minute. Annabeth didn’t really know what to think. She liked Grover— he was funny and he let her touch his hooves and he taught her how to play hacky sack— but she could tell that Luke didn’t and Thalia was starting not to. And Grover apparently didn’t like her. Or he thought she was slow, at least— but that made Thalia and Luke mad, even if they thought it was true. It was all very confusing, but she thought Luke and Thalia were on her side, at least.
“Is it weird I like watching her sleep?” Thalia asked, finally. With a start Annabeth realized they were talking about her. She tried extra hard to keep her breathing even.
“Why, ‘cause she’s not chattering your ear off?” Luke teased. Annabeth heard a soft thump and Luke’s laughter, and knew Thalia had probably punched him in the arm.
“I’d have her chat my ear off any day than have her be quiet like she’s been,” Thalia said. Luke didn’t reply. The only sound in the room was the crackling of the campfire. Annabeth could feel both their eyes on her, and she forced herself to keep looking asleep.
“I think the whole cyclops thing really freaked her out,” Thalia sighed, when Luke hadn’t spoken for a minute.
“Of course it freaked her out, she watched us all almost get eaten,” he snapped, his voice angry. Annabeth’s stomach turned. She tried to keep her expression smooth, even though she could practically smell the cyclops’ lair again. She resisted the urge to wrinkle her nose, or better yet, open her eyes and confirm that she wasn’t back there again. Their voices weren’t good enough to do that anymore, not after the monster had stolen them. She repressed another shudder.
“Well that’s why we have to get to this camp thing, right? So she doesn’t have to see shit like that anymore.”
Thalia sounded calm, not mad, but when Luke spoke again he still sounded angry.
“Bit late for that,” he said, voice quiet and bitter, and Thalia sighed again.
“Better late than never.”
Luke didn’t say anything.
Annabeth felt nerves swoop through her stomach. Did Luke not want to go to camp? He’d made it sound nice when he’d told her about it, but now he just sounded mad. Thalia wanted to, and that was a comforting thought for a minute until Annabeth remembered that Grover had wanted to split them up. But Thalia had also said she wasn’t leaving, and she’d sounded sure about that. Everything was so confusing, and Annabeth didn’t know how to figure it out. It didn’t help that her brain felt dizzy from being tired.
It took a while for either of them to talk again, to the point where Annabeth had almost drifted off to sleep for real. When Thalia spoke again her voice was quiet, so much so that Annabeth almost thought she dreamed it.
“She looks relaxed. Like a normal kid on a camping trip or something. That’s why I like watching her sleep.”
Luke sighed, heavy and deep.
“You should get some too,” he said, not really acknowledging Thalia’s words.
“You need to rest too,” Thalia said, lightly, “Grover’s keeping watch.”
Luke snorted again at that, but it was much less humorous this time. Thalia didn’t seem amused, anyway.
“Come on. You’re exhausted.”
“I’ll wake you up in a few hours and we can switch,” Luke said. Thalia made an annoyed noise, but didn’t say anything else. Annabeth felt someone lie down next to her, felt light fingers adjust the jacket she was using as a blanket so it covered her arms more fully.
Annabeth didn’t want to sleep. She knew there would be nightmares waiting for her the second she slipped out of consciousness, and she didn’t want to see them again.
But they would be walking a lot tomorrow, and she couldn’t walk if she was tired. And if she couldn’t walk then she would slow them down even more than she already was.
So instead of resisting it anymore, she let the exhaustion wash over her, pulling her into bad dreams. It would be okay in the morning. Her family would be there when she woke up, and she wasn’t going to let them down.
