#there's just so many good books amd such little time

[ventiij]

This is the first request I've ever sent lol, I was wondering if you could write NSFW! Xingqiu Alphabet?

sure! after all, it’s not always that you get Xingqiu as your first …👀 request.

(boy is so underrated help)

i apologize in advance if point q doesn’t really make sense smh, i just couldn’t find anything more suitable lol. anyway enjoy.

minors run away in 3, 2, 1

a - adoration (is he into it?)

yes, very likely. even if he is the gentleman type there’s just something in him.. and of course, as much as he loves taking compliments, he will give them back, if you like.

b - bottom (ntm to say)

yeah he’s definitely submissive towards you, maybe power bottom at times? still tho: not long after you get started, he can’t help but submit and be good for you. make him do anything, after all, he’s been waiting for it since he read that one book (of his many, all for the same purpose) and imagined you two as the main characters.

c - cock (lenght)

slightly less than 15cm but doesn’t really care, like, dear… TRUST anything above that is just extra not just on him but where is all that going? nowhere near me ty

d - dress up (what kind of clothing does he wear during it or beforehand?)

you could have him dressed up like in any dress, ex. a maid one, litterally use imagination he’s chill, may act a lil shy at first but gives up soon enough. after he acknowledges that you’re into it tho, you can clearly see how he found his new favourite way to tease you.

e - embarassement (how does he take teasing amd such while he’s sensitive?)

after you tease him with words, he’s all red with his eyes closed just listening, not saying a word and just enjoying the feeling

f - face (best face he pulls)

eyes closed, small pout ad he drools a little

g - g-spot (how does he act when you hit it?)

he becomes super loud and he whimpers so much. ability to talk? gone. he doesn’t even realize what he’s doing unless you point it out.

h - horny (where, when, how much?)

after reading a book about it and just imaginating the things you could’ve done to ruin him. not that much unless it really got him into thinking about you and his thoughts just run wild.

i - impact (that the first time had on him)

he liked it so much and then you comforted him right after, so he understood he could come to you in case he’ll want it to happen again (he will)

j - juice (again, explains by itself)

the quantity depends on how much he’s in the mood and how much you tease him and vice versa, but nevertheless feels so good to him. tries not to be too loud the first time, but if he’s really overwhelmed he won’t be able to control his voice.

k - kids (pregnancy kink yes or no)

no and don’t question this.

l - lemon (what does he think about it)

right before having sex, he loves it. it turns him on and he immediately gets the message.

m - masturbation (yes or no?)

not usually, only if he’s really really down bad to do it and you aren’t there. if you are there tho and you order him to do it, he will. he wants your eyes on him the whole time. give him more orders and pass your time like that, he’ll put on a great show for you and you only

n - no (things that aren’t allowed)

don’t ruin his tender, porcellain skin: no knifeplay or anything like that. you can tie his hands, sure, but don’t use ropes all over his body too often, if he feels too much pain that will be an extreme turn-off.

o - osmanthus wine (tastes the same as i remember but where are those who share the memories)

jk

o - obedience (featuring point b)

he’s so obedient, yes. he knows if he’ll be obedient you’ll reward him and he’ll look forward to it the whole time.

p - positions (which one does he prefer?)

when he’s sitting on your lap: he prefers to be close to you, to feel everything he can.

q - queue (do you have to wait to have sex, in case he’s busy?)

depends on what he’s doing. reading a book? alright, he’ll stop for now. just a few dozens of pages left to finish that huge book he bought last week? hell no, know your place.

r - rest (after it)

he needs a lot of rest because he puts a lot of effort into both pleasing you and feeling a lot of sensations at the same time. he’s exhausted and he’ll love it if you take care of him, after all, he’s been good, no?

s - stress (not during it)

defo uses it as an excuse to get some attention from you, something like: “can you take my mind off of some things..?” and then becomes the naughtiest thing you thought could come out of this

t - tongue (does he like when you use it or when he’s using it?)

oh yeah, definitely. boy liked having all your attention in general so pushing it even more will just please him as much as possible

u - urges (during it)

to cum. if you deny it, he’ll start whining and play victim, deny it even more. he’ll be so desperate and cute for you that he just fulfills your desired until you give him consent to finally release.

v - volume (is he loud? quiet?)

he tries to be quiet most of the time, but as soon as he cums, he’s so loud. he’s so sensitive so he can’t help it.

w - wow (a thing you didn’t expect from him)

that he tends to come to you whenever he’s feeling horny without being all that shy. no big words or so, he just asks you to fuck him right away and, how could you say no? he really does rely on you for this one.

x - xoxo (kisses before, during and after it)

before it, it’s just as i said in point l, during it, they’re even hotten and expecially wet. after it, the kisses are just soft and cute, as a form of appreciation and trust.

y - yummy (using mouth - jobs, eating out etc)

yeah as said in point t he likes every bit of attention from you and will carve it no matter in which way you plan on giving it to him.

z - zappy (things he’s excited to do, featuring the previous points)

g, j, l, p, u

Beach visits💌

Pairing: Steve Rogers x fem!reader

Fluff

Summary: Steve realised just how glad he is to have you.

Warnings: mentions of fights, Natasha’s and Tony’s dead; reader being pregnant; the blip; Thor being a maid of honour because I believe it’s what we deserve; let me know if there are more

Steve had been in many fight before. In fact, his eyes hole life was one. Growing up in the ‘greatest generation’ as a lanky boy with no muscles and having no talent in talking to girls was bad enough. From then losing family members after family members, trying to join the army to help, many fights in alleys that he never won was a fight in itself. After getting the serum and then going into the ice for seventy years, waking up in a whole other century woth no one he knew was hard as well. And them came Peggy, who he found out was alive and Bucky, who was a brainwashed assassin with almost no memory of him was a fight. But it was nothing compared to the fight he had with himself when he lost in 2018 and you were turned into dust. His sweet angel, someone he considered his saviour.

Steve met you after the whole taking down SHIELD fiasco. He went under a bit, losing himself in Boston, a city he never thought he would visit. He loved going on walks there, no specific place to reach, just walking. But then Steve saw you. You were sitting on a bench, book in hand - The Great Gatsby - and a dog lying next to you with its snout on your lap. You looked flawless, in his opinion. In a pretty skirt and lose shirt. Steve thought that there was no one more beautiful than you in that very moment. Like all angels above have blessed you everything good with a little heart in the corner.

The way you began to talk wasn’t in any of your minds anymore. Who made the first move, the first kiss, it didn’t matter to you because you were together. Until the blip.

It was Steve’s first search after he realised it wasn’t just the Avengers but everyone else, too. Natasha, ever the good friend, helped him. They both searched for you, the angel that made every Avenger melt on the spot. When they realised you were blipped, together they searched for Yelena Belova, Natasha just told him she was important and to keep himself occupied, and because he was Natasha’s friend, he helped her, though both searches came out empty-handed.

After the final fight - defeating Thanos, losing Natasha and Tony - you found him. It was three hours after the final battle, or was it four? You didn’t know, no one did. But you were at the Avengers compound, running up to Steve and throwing yoursef at him. Steve caught you, he always did, always will, and led you to his room. It was just you two there and for the first time in five years, Steve felt a kind of happiness. He felt whole being with you. Like everything made sense again and he knew that if Natasha was be here she’d make a stupid comment about how ‘whipped’ he was and Tony would sarcastically fake gag at the sight of you two. But you didn’t care and neither did Steve.

After Tony’s futural, bringing back the stones to their timeline and coming back completely fine amd making a respectful grave for Natasha, Steve and you decided it was time for some time away. Packing your things and saying bye to your loved ones for an unknown time, you two made your way to the beautiful coast of Italy. Relaxing in the sun, on the beach with a cute smile on both your faces while building sandcastles and making fun of each other.

Steve looked at you, a small smile playing on his face while you layed in the sun, sunglasses away and eyes closed because ‘I’m sunbathing, Steve, I don’t want a mark of my sunglasses on my face, I’ll look like an idiot’. The straps of your bright pink bikini were pullin inside so you don’t get any white stripes there, too. God, he thought, you were easily the most stunning persom he’s ever seen. All natural but still so beautiful. He began to daydream about a future, one with you and maybe one or two, or maybe even more, tiny you’s and Steve’s running around your small house. It would have a garden, as you constantly reminded him of the little flowerbeds you wanted to have. Maybe even a second dog? He found real deep comfort in that fantasy.

He said your name and you opened your pretty eyes, looking up at him with a smile on your face, “What’s up Steve? Are you okay?” Leave it to you to always worry about him. “Yeag, it’s just- I’m happy, you know?” You smiled, still a bit confused. “I just- I love you. So much. Wanted you to know that.” You chuckled, there was always a slight Brooklyn drawl to his words when he was nervous so you didn’t know what to expect. “I love you, Steve.” Steve smiled and began to chuckle lightly,” “That’s- That’s great you know, becaue, uhm, I wanted to ask you something.”, he began, “What- what if you move in? With me, I mean. We could get a new house or maybe a flat. It doesn’t have to be directly, but you know, one time, maybe?” The smile on your face was bright, like he had just hung the moon and the stars for you. “Yeah, I’d like that, Steve.” Steve smiled brightly, “Great. Great, great great.” You giggled at him and kissed him, a kiss he gladly reciprocate.

It was a few months later now. After coming back from Italy with Sam throwing a dumb jab at you about ‘stealing his look’ you told them about the news, only receiving good response. The house you now had was in Boston, you grew up there and had family and Steve wanted to be away from all the superhero stuff. The house had three floors; the lowest with the kitchen, living room, a room for laundry and a little bathroom; the second floor with three bedrooms and a guest-bedroom, the one mostly occupied by Bucky or Sam and two other bathrooms, a bit bigger than the one on the first floor; and the final floor with a master bedroom, occupied by Steve and yourself and a master bathroom, including shower and bathtub, perfect to relax in. It was safe to say that you and Steve loved the house. You bought the house as soon as you two saw it and the money fit as well. It was perfect.

Now back on the same beach as months before you both sat there, anticipating to tell the other one the news. While Steve chose the place again, this time with a focus on asking you the question he wanted to ask you the first time you were there, you were there to tell him the news you hoped he liked.

“Steve?” You asked him and he looked at you, a slight deja vu, “I got something to tell you.” You knew his reaction wouldn’t be bad, you talked about it before and both agreed that you want it, you just didn’t talk about when. “I’m- I’m pregnant.” You bit your lip to wait for his reaction while he looked at you, a bit fonfused but then started to laugh, “You know, I already had the idea.”, he began, “You didn’t drink that wine you liked ao much.” You chuckled as well and in that moment everything felt right.

“You know, my plan with this trip was to have the biggest surprise but as always you have to top me,” he chuckled while rummaging in one of his bags he brought with him and took out a tiny box and opened it, “I may not be on my knees right now, but this should still count. You’re the most phenomenal person I’ve ever met. And I wanted to ask you this last time but I guess it was too early? You know, I- I had this big speech written down and I completely forgot everything on it so please don’t be mad at me,” both of you were crying with big smiles on you faces by now and he said your name, “marry me, I promise I’ll try the best to make you the happiest person on this planet and every other one. And I promise that, yes , you can have Thor as your maid of honour if you want to.” You chuckled before screaming out a big yes. The people around you all laughing and clapping. You hugged Steve while he slid the ring on your finger.

Now, six months later on the same beach surrounded with your best friends, you and Steve gave you the ‘I do’s’. Thor, your maid of honour as promised, a seat free on your bridesmaid place for Natasha and Wanda as your second bridesmaid, you were the happiest you could be with a big belly. Steve’s side looked smiliar, Bucky as hid best man, a seat free for Tony and Sam as his other groomsman, Steve couldn’t get the smile off his face. Even Nick Fury, who was the ‘priest’ to marry you, was smiling a bit.

THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED 🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷

Rumplestiltskin... this thing we have, it's--it's never been easy. I've... I've lost you so many times. I've lost you to darkness, to weakness, and finally, to death. But now I realize... I realize that I have not spent my life losing you. I've spent my life finding you.

Belle. when we met, I wasn't just unloved and unloving. I was an enemy of love. Love only brought me pain. My walls were up. But you brought them down. You brought me home. You brought life into my life and chased away all the darkness. And I vow to you I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you than I can ever say. How you can see the man behind the monster I will never know.

But that monster is gone. And the man beneath him may be flawed... but we all are. And I love you for it. Sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket. And sometimes the best teacup is chipped.

SOMETIMES THE BEST TEACUP IS CHIPPED 😭😭😭😭

Goddammit rumple. You're killing me here.

And I'm still crying.

So belle likes to hike? Good little nugget to remember

He's such a dork for her.

OH MY GOD IT'S THE BALLROOM SCENE WITH THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST OUTFITS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

David I honestly think if you went with baelfire rumple would've murdered you in front of everyone.

"There is always a crisis, perhaps you should consider living your life during them, otherwise you'll miss is."

Again this show has some banger lines.

EVIL SNOWMAN RUN!!!!

😂😂😂

I laughed so hard I cried at that fucking bo peep line.

Emma and David the sarcastic duo amd I'm fucking here for it. I can see them antagonizing the shit out of snow for fun. See who makes her crack first.

And then he pulls the "what are your intentions with my daughter" talk

"THATS old fashioned even by my standards and I still pay with dabloons" 😂😂😂😂

Hook using a cell phone seconds later is funny as fuck

Fucking Tony markovich is hans and it is so fucking funny.

In fairness I never tried to kill her.

I didn't try to kill her! I left her to die! Important distinction.

😂😂😂😂

Should she want to be held I want to do it with both hands.

😭😭😭😭😭

Them being total dorky parents is so cute.

And I love how emma didn't notice his hook was gone at first. Like it's not something she even sees about him being a flaw.

Your daughter is in very good hands.

That's what I'm worried about especially since you have two of them.

Omg fucking Anna. Rumple looks like he's ready to kill her right there for being an airhead.

A deal anna.

- diagnosed Big Dog Energy by twitter

- does makeup asmr lives on twitter and youtube bc people tell her that her voice is nice

- most active on her youtube channel which is mostly her annoying her little siblings (in her words: they've been annoying me for my whole life, time for payback)

GROUP HCS.

- leo and donnie will take off their respective prosthetics as jokes often. leo will offer someone a hand and detach his arm. donnie has thrown their leg at people. more than once. theres compilations of it. theres an unexplained no context video on leos twitter of donnie in the living room, detaching their leg, opening a hidden compartment and then proceeding to shake out nearly a thousand fake plastic spiders along with a truly uncountable amount of batteries. the video ends with donnie snapping their head towards the camera and shouting "DON'T REVEAL MY SECRETS DIPSHIT" before lunging at leo

- theres multiple videos of the disaster twins being a disaster as raph slowly approaches from behind them, scruffs them like cats and then flings them over her shoulder like particularly unruly sacks of flour. theres also compilations of her holding her siblings under their arms like cats. donnie seems to be the most receptive to it, bc they could be angrily ranting snd then raph picks them up and they just. dangle. pupils dilated and content to be carried off.

- theres a video of raph gnawing on an impressively large tree branch in the woods, illumimated only by a phone flash. she looks almost guilty in it.

- mikey took a video of his three aquatic siblings in the rain and titled it "turtle zoomies"

the video shows raph contentedly soaking in the rain, tail swishing in a particularly deep puddle. leo and donnie are chasing each other at inhuman speeds while chirping. raph looks at the camera and smiles before donnie runs into her, to which she then decides it's time for cuddles. leo runs at the camera and the video ends.

- donnie showed up on leos song cover channel and covered both world is mine (obviously) but also to the hellfire by lorna shore, metal screams and all. people have begged them to make their own song cover channel but they just said "why make my own when i can just steal my brothers?"

- the turtles accidentally revealed having mafia ties ala big mama ("oh yeah we have a mom too! not by birth though. big mama!" "THE FUCKING LEADER OF THE SPIDER MAFIA??" "the WHAT.")

Path to you

Alrighty y’all it is finally time! I’m made up a title just so it has one but it is not the official one. The official title will be released when the story is over! This isn’t my best work so eventually I’ll come back and rework it. Reader is fem and can be of any race or body type! I hope you enjoy! -Q💕

WARNINGS: mentions of dead bodies, mentions of being bullied, cussing, reader being called princess, fem!reader, implied racism.

Hawkins Indiana, a seemingly boring town with boring people. A seemingly boring town where everyone knows everyone, at least that's what everyone thought before the murders began…

A chill runs up your spine as you look over to your window still ajar from your stargazing last night. You Throw your feet off the side of your bed, shut it and reluctantly start getting ready for the day. Half an hour later as you brush your teeth and shut the water off you hear shattering glass from downstairs. You rush to your parents watching the news, the remains of your fathers coffee mug at his feet and your mother sitting on the edge of the couch both looking shell shocked. You finally look at the tv where the news reporter is standing by the outskirts of the woods where she explains that a body of a Hawkins high student was found torn apart by a animal in the woods. You feel your heartbeat pounding in your ear and your breath feels caught in your throat.

On the edge of a panic attack. You grab your keys and run out of the door. Driving to school way faster than the speed limit you half haphazardly park your car and run into the library, your breath releases when you see your best friend Tracy sitting reading her copy of pride and prejudice. You run to her and give her an overwhelming hug.

“Oof hey Y/n nice to see you too’’. She giggles lightly in your chest.

“You haven't seen the news?” you question her releasing her from your monstrous grip.

“What news? I've been here since 5:30.” she explains

‘’A student at Hawkins was attacked last night. Torn apart in the woods by the byers house. I know you live by them so i just had the worst feeling ever that it was you” you tell her tearing up.

You hear the doors slam open behind you, you turn to see the curly headed boy looking around the stacks of books until his eyes reach yours. He bolts towards making you jump.

“y/n! I've been looking for you everywhere. Can you come with me to steves after school today.’ You stare dumbfounded at the boy ‘please’ he adds

“Why?” you squint your eyes at him suspiciously. You did know the kid who stood in front of you. Dustin was friends with Lucas who you had babysat for years along with his little sister erica. They were your favorite kids to babysit, erica always kept you on your toes but she had eventually and reluctantly warmed up to you. Dustin had never sought you out specifically to hang out just with lucas when you had to watch him.

I'll tell you if you go to steves with me. Please y/n?” He begs with a little pout you couldn't possibly say no to.

You sigh. “Fine i'll meet you in the parking lot” his eyes lit up.

“Yes thanks i'll see you after school” amd with that he dawdles off right when the bell rings. You shrug at tracy who looks just as confused as you and go to your class.

You finish packing up when the last bell rings for the day and head out to the parking lot where Dustin is patiently waiting. You hop in your car, instruct him to do the same and head over to Steve's house with directions from dustin. You head inside where you are surprised to see so many people you knew including max lucas girlfriend. He got so nervous he called you asking for advice saying “she makes me want to throw up…but in a good way” it's kinda scary seeing how grown up he is now. Dustin quickly takes a seat leaving you with the option of the only seat left next to steve.

You don't know how you feel about steve. Him and his friends were complete and utter assholes. They would bully everyone about anything. Eddie because he was a metalhead freak, barbera because she was a goody two shoes and you because of your fascination with monsters and all things horror.They were relentless, everyday your freshman year you would come to school with drawing with you making out with classic monsters like dracula, frankenstein's monster and the wolfman and one time they even filled your locker with fake blood and the principle had made you stay after school to clean it up. Steve tommy and giggled when they saw you on your hands and knees cleaning up the red 40 dye and corn syrup. You grimace when you think about it but you begrudgingly sit down. He gives you a tight lipped smile that you return

“So did you ask her?” Mike is a boy you also recognize from babysitting lucas. You also recognize his older sister Nancy from the brief period of dating steve. Surveying the room you feel a little better knowing that you recognize everyone here. That moment of reassurance is brief as all of sudden you feel all eyes on you, you gulp and turn to look at dustin.

“Ask me what?” you question him nervously.

He giggles anxiously before looking at you.” Well” his voice cracks “Have you heard about the kid found in the woods this morning?”

“Of course I have what does that have to do with anything dustin?” you snap, starting to feel tense with the eyes focused on you.

“Ok hear me out, so i found the body before the cops did and i don't think it was what they say it was. I mean yeah there were claw marks but they were massive, and so i thought about and you have the most knowledge about it so i wanted to talk to you first.” he breathes out.

“Dustin, what the hell are you talking about? I Know a lot about what?” you asked.

“Ya know monsters and stuff.” he says nonchalantly

“Yeah and?” you say more confused than ever.

Max huffs and rolls her eyes before she yells out an irritated “Dustin just fricken tell her!”

“Ok ok damn. I think it was a werewolf that attacked that kid” he breathes out glaring at max.

He rants on about his theory about the werewolf in Hawkins for what feels like hours when you hear a car pull up outside. Looking out the window you're surprised to see that it was dark. It had actually been hours. someone pounds on the door aggressively. Steve gets up to get it. As soon as he unlocks the door it gets pushed opened. Billy pushes into the room glaring at max.

“Maxine get your fucking ass in the car” he yells.

“Its max” she snaps. He grabs her by arm and yanks her up off the floor, you stand up feeling protective.

“And sinclair” he snarls at lucas “ i thought i told you to stay the hell away from her, she doesn't need to be around your kind”

“Hey!” you pull him out of the house dragging him to his car. He looked shocked for exactly a millisecond. You let him go and turn toward him. “What the hell is your problem?” he laughs. this motherfucker you think.

“That little shit isnt in my car. That's my problem” he

“Her name is max, asshole” you seethe

“Why the hell, do you care what i call her” he barks out.

“Because she deserves basic respect billy”

“What do you know about what she deserves” he scoffs’

“Because everyone deserves at least that, even an asshole like you.”

“You dont know what youre talking about, you dont know fucking shit about me or what i deserve” his face switches from a scowl to a smirk like a cat thats caught the mouse. “And what do you deserve for talking to me like this huh?” he threatens. Getting up in your face pinning you between him and his car trying to intimidate you.

“I'm not scared of you” you say as confidently as you can.

He puts his lips on the shell of your ear. Your heart beats out of your chest with the proximity “No?” he says mockingly. He looks into your eyes nose to nose you feel his breath on your lips, the smell of tobacco and mint invade your senses “You should be” you feel chills run down your spine.

“I'm ready” you hear Max's uncharacteristically meek voice come from behind you.

Billy looks you up and down smirking before going around you opening his door and speeding off. Feeling shaken you say goodbye to the gang and leave to go home. You plop on your bed and stare up into the ceiling thinking about the events that took place today. Trying to wrap your head around Dustin's big bad wolf but your mind wanders back to billy. You shudder when you think about his breath on your neck. What the hell was his problem? What the hell is your problem you question as you drift off to sleep.

You wake up later than you had hoped. After frantically getting ready you rush down stairs to see your parents in the almost exact positions they were in yesterday. You look at the tv to see the same report as they did yesterday. The only difference was the victim. You swiftly jump in the car and make your mad dash to your class. At lunch you finally have the chance to breathe which is cut short when you open your locker and find Steve standing on the other side of the door.

“What? Disappointed there's not 6 gallons of blood on the floor?” you huff

“What? No?” he says surprised.

“Uh Huh sure.” you said annoyed

“That wasn't me that was all tommy and carols idea” he explained

“And yet you did nothing to stop them.” you shrugged sarcastically

“Come on y/n. I'm not like that anymore, more changed than you think” he

You giggled “Like you hanging out with children.”

“You hang out with lucas.” he retorted

“No, I babysit lucas. There's a difference but i get it there an interesting bunch”

“Interesting is one word to put it.” he laughed noting the cute the way his nose crinkles “You right by the way”

“I usually am but in what instance are we talking about harrington” you laughed along with him.

He scratches the back of his neck. “I should have stopped them or done something.” he trails off. “I should have at least stayed to help you clean up”

“It's fine Steve, I learned a very valuable lesson that day.” you smile

“Oh yeah.” he smirks, leaning into the locker next to you. “And what is this oh so valuable lesson” he looks you up and down. You feel your cheeks burn up.

You gain your composure and say in total deadpan “that lemon pledge and hydrogen peroxide can clean up anything.”

He barks out a real genuine laugh that is so contagious it pulls a laugh out of you “good to know the next time we make a mess” he says flirty and the heat in your cheeks returns and grows to the tip of your ears. He coughs “anyway dustin told me to tell you to meet us in the library at 8, so ill see you later bye”

“yeah bye steve '' he walks away still looking at last minute he turns around and enters the cafetera and you can't help but smile at yourself.

The rest of the day is uneventful as per usual. You grab your assignment from your teacher and head back to your locker to pack the rest of your stuff away. As you walk in the parking lot you see a familiar head of hair standing at your car door.

“Yes hargrove do you need something? You ask slightly annoyed

“I'll pick you up at 8” he says nonchalantly

You're baffled at his bluntness “excuse me? what?”

“You heard me, I'll pick you up at 8” he says. Your eyebrows are in your hair line “later princess” he smirks and saunters off to his car where you see a disgruntled Max in the passenger's seat.

Now you're left with a choice: go to the library with Steve to investigate the werewolf terrorizing Hawkings or unlock part of the mystery that is Billy Hargrove.

Childhood’s End: a confrontation between Kinn and Korn in season 2(?)

Note: When I see a character reading a book that I’ve been wanting to read for years now, I take it as a sign and an invitation, so there will be book spoilers. This is my interpretation of the book, I’m sure many people have already talked about this, but I would like to give a shout out to this meta done by kinnspocketporsche as well.

Summary: The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city--intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

But at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind… or the beginning?

-

The story starts when the Overlords arrive on Earth and start to put their plan in action, as omnipresent entities, always on the lookout, we come to realize they know everything that is happening on Earth, what humans are planning and thinking. It is unsettling, in a way, but it makes sense in the long-run, once we see it’s all part of the plan to abolish crimes and war and keep the peace.

Throughout the entire book, we wonder what their plan is, why they are acting this way or that. If they are so superior, intellectual and technologically, why are they even here? Why are they interested in humans if not to rule over us? How can they simply be acting for our benefit? What are they getting from it?

Sound familiar?

Porsche stumbled into the Theerapanyakul family by accident, it seemed, and Korn immediately took him in, no questions asked. Kinn, always blinded by his love and trust in his father, didn’t think much of it.

When Kinn fell in love and decided to pursue a relationship with Porsche, we also saw Korn gladly accepting their love.

Too easily. 

What is that saying? Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth? Don’t be ungrateful, Kinn, I’m giving you what you wanted, am I not? It certainly applied here.

Kim was the only one who suspected something (makes one wonder whatever happened that made Kim not trust his father, but that’s another meta for another time) amd started to investigate. But Kim, much like the humans in the book, was only allowed to see what the Overlords (his father) wanted him to see. The story behind Porsche’s family, their deaths, he always got close, but not too close, just enough to give him a taste, that he was almost there, just to entertain him on his game, just to keep him busy, investigating one path and not looking into another that could lead to the actual truth.

The Overlords abolished crimes, gave humans technology. In the Utopian world written by Arthur C. Clarke, the humans didn’t even have to work to survive – food, water, money, non-essential goods – they all came for free, because the Overlords gave it to them. People started to do things for fun, they didn’t have to worry about anything that wasn’t a hobby. 

As a consequence, humans stopped producing science, culture, everything that makes us humans. They didn’t need anything, so they stopped wanting, pursuing answers for great mysteries. The ones who still resisted this kind of life were free to do as they pleased, but to a certain extent, again, just like Kim.

"Probably the Overlords have their reasons for keeping us in the nursery,” (p. 95)

The humans who were simply content with how things turned out, kept living their lives. Kinn and Porsche were allowed their love and their relationship, a family, money and protection. The illusion of a choice.

Korn is training Kinn to be his successor, but he is training him on his own terms, teaching him how to become a mafia boss, benevolent, but still feared. Good to his own, but a nightmare to his enemies. In the first scene, we saw Kinn killing a man, then when Korn “died” we saw him doing the same. This is the mafia boss that Korn trained him to be, all that Kinn learned, he learned from his father.

But the fact Korn faked his death, the way he kept everything hidden, including Porsche’s mother’s existence, speaks of a man who doesn’t trust his son, who still thinks of him as a child and who still sees himself as the boss. 

He is a father, not just in the common sense, but as the man who rules above a group of people. In their world, the mafia works as a family and they obey a man who knows better, who sees it all, who has people everywhere, and who cannot be tricked.

“Sometimes it seemed to him that men were like children amusing themselves in some secluded playground, protected from the fierce realities of the outer world,” (p. 116)

 Until they are ready, until Kinn is ready to become Korn, he must be kept in the dark. Just like a child. To people like Korn and Vegas’ father, children serve a purpose: to keep the legacy as men who shall honor their last name.

Korn’s machinations speak of a man who doesn’t want to lose his power, who is jealous of his sons and who fears them as well.

Much like Oedipus, who feared his son would kill him, Korn fears he will have his throne usurped. He knows he is training his successor and his own killer and despite how I fear the second season going, where we will have to deal with Korn’s schemes and how deep they go, when I read the the third part of the book, I started to realize how exactly things could go for Kinn and his father:

"What shall we do about our children?"

"Enjoy them while you may," answered Rashaverak gently. "They will not be yours for long."

It was advice that might have been given to any parent in any age: but now it contained a threat and a terror it had never held before. (p. 138)

 The children serve a bigger purpose and for that they need to surpass their parents and abandon them.

The human children grow to become something else, a part of the Overminds, entities behind the Overlords, surpassing their parents and their guides, to become something bigger into the world. The Overlords serve them and understand why, but they also know the children are the ones who are important. 

The point of the entire book, of the entire plot, is to get the children to grow into something bigger and more powerful than all of them.

 And, I think, the point of the entire show is for Kinn (and Vegas!) to grow and become an adult. Someone his father fears and envies, making his life his own and, ultimately, surpassing his father as well.

“You have given birth to your successors, and it is your tragedy that you will never understand them.” (p. 143)

At the ending of the book, the children become so powerful, they leave everything behind, eating the Earth and our Galaxy, destroying the System that was in place to live their own life as part of the Overmind.

At the end of the show, that is the path the Theerapanyakul cousins must build for themselves. A new system that works for them, that will not contain their love for Porsche and Pete and will allow them to become what they were always meant to be - the bosses of their own families.

“This was not tragedy, but fullfilment.” (p. 159)

[thatsneakymedic]

Frustration had Jiraiya on edge. Kabuto was being more difficult than usual. The younger man was avoiding him. Not the usual evading and nose turned up huffy annoyance. No it was turn tail and speed walk away. It was walked in on you naked on accident amd had no idea how to address it type of avoidance. 

He couldn’t think of anything he could have done to piss Kabuto off. Jiraiya scowls as he hovered silently in the doorway. Kabuto had his back to him. The grey medic was researching something. Nose thoroughly burrowed into books. Strange as it’s usually buried far up Orochimaru’s ass. 

Since that dream Jiraiya hasn’t been the same. He thought about Kabuto in a way he can’t go back from. The boy was pretty. A nice face that wasn’t too masculine but wasn’t feminine in any regard. Big round glassed complimented his sharp angular eyes. His voice… it sounds better struggling to catch air from how hard his hips are… 

Maybe it was obvious. Jiraiya had developed a bit of a crush. He wasn’t exactly acting normal either. He was tense and awkward when Kabuto did stick around for more than a second. Orochimaru seemed to have picked up on it too. It was a suspicion but nothing had come of it as far as talking about it. 

Light and silent on his feet Jiraiya stalked into the room. He needs to figure out his feelings. He wonders if Kabuto has similar feelings. The sudden shift in behaviour makes much more sense if the feelings were mutual. Both of them dancing around each other to avoid hurting themselves and Orochimaru. 

Jiraiya reached out. In a second he had gripped Kabuto’s ponytail and pulled it back to snap his head up. Jiraiya moved in as those pale pink lips part to complain. He kisses Kabuto. Long, deep… heated. His lips moving against the others and his tongue plays along Kabuto’s teeth. 

It did feel good. Which did little to undo the absurdity of this new attraction. His free hand moved under the collar of Kabuto’s shirt to feel the bare skin underneath. Warm… surprisingly smooth. Well.. what can he expect of someone so young? He groped Kabuto’s pec before finally breaking the kiss. He was panting for air like he had broken free from near drowning. 

“I got something for you and it won’t go away…” Jiraiya’s voice was gravelly and low. “I know you’re feeling something too… Let’s settle this.” He whispered before going in for another kiss. 

@thetoaddaddy

It's been days since that goddamn dream has messed up his focus and his feelings about the whole thing that wasn't even real to begin with, and even afterwards it remained in his thoughts somehow. Jiraiya has been visiting the hideout more and more throughout the week and before the dream happened, they would merely tolerate each other's presence for Orochimaru's sake. They would insult each other, criticize on the things they did or said, and compare each other on the many ways that Orochimaru would prefer one over the other.

Like two cats that would occasionally slap and hiss at each other without letting their claws draw blood.

Now, they couldn't even be in the same room as Kabuto would scurry away from them whenever the sannin would at least try to approach him, they don't talk anymore other than the simple one word answers of "yes" and "no", and Kabuto just can't seem to get a hold of his hormones that would skyrocket the moment he hears Jiraiya's voice. His mind instantly recalls that moment of the dream and his body immediately reacts accordingly.

Unlike Jiraiya who wears a lot of loose clothing and has a better chance of hiding "it", Kabuto however doesn't have any of such clothes and it would be very difficult to hide his subtle erection from the two if he stuck around them long enough. Not even facing his hips away from them would be good enough to hide it for long periods of time.

Whatever this is that was going on between them, it should've gone away till then. But it hasn't. And it's shocking that not even Orochimaru could evoke an immediate reaction from Kabuto themselves!

When Jiraya showed up again to the hideout, he managed to slip away from them with an excuse and has decided to hide himself within the library room where all of the books that they have gathered were stored, at leas till they left the hideout so that he can resume his daily tasks. He felt some relief that he managed to excuse himself since he could easily distract himself with reading the section of the book about tetrodotoxin poisons and how almost a lot of marine animals uses them. And he was however surprised that toads of all creatures can also use and carry these types of poisons in their bodies, a fact that was new to him. Or at least was forgotten till now.

He was so engrossed into the book that he didn't realize that he was being watched from the shadows till a sudden tug of his hair backwards makes him drop the book to fall on his feet and with both hands, he grips at the one that had a hold of his hair. But his head was pulled slightly backwards and before he could even say anything, his mouth was muffled and silenced with a intense and craving kiss that took Kabuto by surprise.

With the firm hold of his hair pulled back and his back rested on their front, Kabuto's fingers start to dig into Jiraiya's wrist. But not because he was trying to pry himself off from them but because he was overwhelmed with the intensity of the kiss. His widened eyes soften till they partially closed as he breathes through his nose as he reciprocates by not attempting to pull away or biting at their lips to get them to let go of him. He managed to let out a soft gasp as he feels their hand rove and caress his upper body and stomach as an anticipated chill creeps up his spine and imaginary butterflies fluttered in his gut. Their hand felt so amazing on his body and he definitely wants to feel more of them on him and all over him as well.

Perhaps finally, this distance and this unexpected sexual tension between the two of them will come to an end.

As they pulled away from the kiss, leaving Kabuto feeling breathless and winded. He could feel their warm breath fogging up his glasses and warming his face. His knees felt like they could collapse and he would've fallen if they weren't holding him by the hair. He wanted more of this, even if it felt like he was losing all sense of self control.

How embarrassing.

"You too huh? I'm so glad... that I wasn't the only one with this issue. Yeah, I agree... lets get this over with." Kabuto managed to say as he leans his head back more to allow them to kiss them back again with equal anticipation.

[dabblingreturns]

One of the many sins that my mind brings back to me when I'm selfcastigating myself* is a literary sin

And here it is in the confessional** of tumblr is my funniest literary sin.

I'm incredibly harsh on Leigh Bardugo's first adult novel "Ninth House"

And I know why I'm harsh on it....and I know why I'm being unfair....

This goes back to an old habit and "ninth house" carries the sin of being the wrong book at the wrong time with the wrong name.

Here is the old habit.

Every month or so I moesy my internet brower over to Tor.com to get a list of books by genre that are releasing each month***

And in the second week of October 2019 I found books with curiously similar names. Both were stand alone/ not part of a series. Both had dark colored cover art. Both promise wird stories about young woman, the magic of death, and secrets.

So I pre ordered "ninth house" on audio book because leigh bardugo was a proven talent....and I had an audible credit ....and I also bought a ebook copy of "Gideon the ninth." Because it looked cool.

And I don't remember why, but on Tuesday morning, I started reading Tamsyn Muir's "Gideon the Ninth" which spoke to me in ways I am still trying to untangle....before ripping my still beating hart out if my chest and eating it. And I still haven't recovered.

When I approached "Ninth House" the next week, I was looking for healing....or baring that, humor and bones.

But that's not the book Leigh bardugo crafted. "Ninth house" is the story of an abused and traumatized young women taking agency. Its a good book amd a good story, and unique. But it includes sexual assault, and drug abuse, which are turn offs for me. And the more they dominate a charecter, the less I want to spend time with her. But that wasn't the real issue. The real issue was that after "Gideon the Ninth", "Ninth house" felt like it was just two small of stakes.

And that's not fair....because "Ninth house" is a good book, with some really memorable moments....but it wasn't written for me....it was written for someone else.

And "Gideon the ninth" was written for all the nuroatypical catholic girls who like swords, and want kind charecter with evil coded magic, unreliable narators, ass jokes and hunted castles.

The literary sin I committed was eating my cake first, the getting mad that the broccoli I ate yet wasn't also cake.

Hopefully after this long confession I will sleep better at night.

But maybe check out both books and both authors

*please note, my saelf castigation is caused 85% by my major depression and 15% by my catholic upbringing. If you are doing this often, please seek medical help.)

** the 15% if my self castigation caused by catholicism can be appeased my confessing and making amends. Which is what saved the catholic guilt about sin from being all a medical condition.

***I was at a point in my life when I was in a new place and still trying to make friends but I did have the disposable income to just by books. So I did. It's awesome. I highly recommend having enough money to get by plus a little extra.

Hiiiii!

How's your job like usually? and when you getting off?? it's starting to get lateee. I'm starting my first job ever on monday and i'm a little nervous about it ngl :] omg the graveyard book! how do you like it? I've been meaning to start it for ages now but since the pandemic started it never really seemed to be the right time to do it. maybe i'll manage to listen to it on the commute to work :) i'm really pumped up about the new sandman tv show btw. AND the new good omens season ofc :)) what plans you having this summer? going anywhere nice? i'm honestly planning on doing as many things as possible this summer. i wanna learn how to rollerblade and i just signed up on a game dev (including VR!!) summer school and that should be nice, although i might need to buy a new computer and that's not as exciting :( also, just wanted to add that i love your blog and your journal entries even though you don't see me in your notes that much. (what's your main one? -- ofc, you don't have to answer to that if you don't want to) it always makes me happy to read about your day and Goddamn you're so organized and so so productive!! hope you're having a calm and rewarding evening. sending you hugs and all za good vibes i've got at my disposal!!

Hello! I work in my family's store on certain days and it depends a lot on days. In the mornings we have more people coming in to get newspapers and all, and afternoons can sometimes get a bit boring depemding on the day, it's really unpredictable. Good luck with your job! I am sure you'll do great and it's totally fine to be nervous about it you will learn with time,everyone has had a first day.

I had read the graveyard book as a kid and loved it but I didn't remember a single thing pther than the first scene tbh. And for this reread I've had the same experience until I found the audio version. There's one on spotify, and if I am not wrong there should also be videos of Neil Gaiman reading it himself on youtube! It's a really nice gothic-ish story for kids, I totally get why I liked it so much back then! I hope you'll enjoy once you read it! I am also super excited for the shows!!! I love the sandman so so much and I cannot wait to see it take life.

My plans for the summer are not as organized as I would like I will for certain be going to the seaside with my parents for a couple of weeks. I have always called them my "hermit weeks" cause I use them to recharge my batteries and just do nothing, hear from no one and read as much as I can. For the rest I have to work on my thesis, I have to visit the archives at least once more, so I'll be pretty busy. I hope I'll get to have some trips and visit places. I love your plans for the summeryou sound super excited about it and I really really hope you'll have fun!! I get that buying a new computer is not the best but if you really need to try to do your reaseach so that your investment will last for a good while and will support all your future projects!

Thank you so much 💜🌿 that's really sweet! My main blog is @cri080799 it's a mess of a blog but it's where my tumblr experience™ started. Amd thank you so much again, your message really brightened my day you seem super energetic my friend! I send you all the love and hope you'll have a good day/night 💜🌿

#this is the kind of interaction i live for #thank you i love just talkong about random things with people like you #ask #asked #asks #answered #cris speaks #the---hermit

[outer-space-face]

Nutmeg, papyrus, ivy, sage? :) You don't have to do all of em just whatever ones you wanna answer

Well lucky for you I AM gonna do all of them! :D

Nutmeg: how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?

It's got a lot of my little crafts and sculptures scattered as decor. Idk if I've ever mentioned it before but I'm a pretty arts & crafty person. I've tried so many mediums of crafts at some my room's just gonna turn into a craft store. But it's got a couple of little mushroom sculptures, art pieces I've made amd hung up, and then also just random knick-knacks like crystals, blankets, a couple of perfumes and essential oils laying around. Essentially I've got my own little treasure trove of knick-knacks (a la ariel, ya know?). I've also got a lot of natural light cause' I love me some sun :) . At night time it's got some cozy lighting too.

Papyrus: if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?

Okay so this is one that I discovered pretty recently. It's 'What once was' by her's. The chill but atmospheric instrumental is what sold me on this song. It's just a really nice groove with a good melody. It's a really nice late night song.

(Also I wanna add that I had to disqualify like half the songs on my 'on repeat' playlist because I kid you not, half of it was just the hadestown soundtrack. I- *sigh* :')

Ivy: what are your ‘tells’ for your emotions and moods? how can someone tell you’re happy, annoyed, upset or tired?

I mean, with how emotional I am I don't think they really need to have any tells ajahjahsjs. But seriously, although I think I'm a fairly open book, I think some of my less noticeable tells are I start answering with a lot more one-note answers to questions when I'm upset or frustrated. Not in a passive aggressive way, but more in a "my mind is elsewhere" kinda way.

Sage: what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is?

Well, surprising absolutely no one, it's probably gotta be theatre. There's something so special and personal about going to see shows. I love rich storytelling, I love music, and I love silly little costumes so it's right up my alley. There's something so touching about the medium, especially when it's a sad or bittersweet story (fun fact my favorite movies or pieces of media tend to be the ones that make me cry waterfalls).

Thank you so much for all of these questions! These were super fun to answer so thank you for all of em' <333

♡︎ 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒖𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒓 @jeongyeonsbluehair

i match you with . . .

✄ ————————————————————————

𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑰 𝑰𝑻𝑻𝑶 !!

yess, finally someone to match his energy and vibes! he's so happy!

although he is mostly liked by the people of Inazuma, most would rather not get themselves involved with Itto, but you are the opposite: you find everything he is to be so facinating amd charming. you always want to understand him more. that's one of the reasons why he's absolutely head-over-heels for you.

in addition to that you'd both be able to keep up with each other, i also think your very idealistic natures match. although it might be playing with fire to put such driven individuals together, in my mind i can see the dynamic working perfectly with you two ♡︎

Itto loves that flame inside you. it's something he can highly relate to, so even if the whole world is against you, he'll be there to back you up and support your dreams.

no such thing as setting your goals too high in this man's dictionary! (unless it's something that obviously wears you down overtime in which case he's gonna be blatantly honest with you and tell you you're not in a good spot)

you build off each other and inspire to become better versions of yourselves thanks to the other (•̀ᴗ•́)و

he may come off as brash and hot-headed (he really is) but he's more emotionally intelligent than many give him credit for. once he learns you're sensitive he understands to eventually tone it down a notch so he wouldn't accidentally hurt you with his words.

yes, he's got a humongous ego but the people he loves come before anything else, and you're one of the most treasured people to him.

let's gooo, physical affection! being clingy is one of the last things you need to worry about when with Itto. he'll relish in all your attention, and, of course, will spoil you with his!

he especially loves it when you're holding onto him for a longer period of time, like sitting on his lap, hugging him, holding his hand or cuddling (๑¯∀¯๑)

as an illustrator for the Yae Publishing House you were quite busy on the Irodori festival. one of your jobs was to design a cover for a new book that was inspired by the event.

but for you it was still a very fun task: you could freely enjoy the festival while finding inspiration! trying out the foods and talking to the visitors from Mondstadt and Liyue was all part of the job, right?

however, as you were leisurely sketching some stalls and people, you noticed a particular individual seemed to be posing on one of the benches in front of you.

it's not as though you had never heard of the infamous Arataki gang before. you'd also seen their leader many a time challenging kids on the streets for their candy, so it was safe to say you'd been curious about him even before you first met.

he would glance at you every now and then before resuming his proud position. it clicked in your mind that he was convinced you were drawing him.

although you didn't owe him anything, much less your precious time, you couldn't help but smile to yourself, flip a page in your notebook and make him a little something. something about this was just too amusing to pass up.

apparently Itto hadn't expected you to just walk up to him though and show him the portrait because for a second he blinked, wide-eyed. the next moment he played it off with a hearty laughter.

"ahahahaha! naturally i wouldn't expect anything less from a great Yae Publishing House illustrator."

"ah—" you slipped the paper behind your back just as he was about to take it. "you know about me?"

"uh duh, your style made it obvious. pen name Raid, and those Miss Hina column illustrations are wicked!"

you were certain nobody had ever called you art 'wicked' before but you took it as a compliment and grinned, bringing the drawing in front of you again.

"well, i guess for a loyal fan i must make this one free."

Itto admired the sketch for a moment longer before looking over at you with a toothy smile of his own. "hey, hey, how about joining the gang and I for a singalong tonight, whatcha say? The great Arataki 'One and Oni' Itto never leaves his debts unpaid!"

with that sparkle in his eyes, how could you say no?

♡︎ 𝑩𝑳𝑼𝑹𝑩𝑺

you like tall? Itto's the tallest :> he picks you up and carries you around all the time. if doesn't even matter how tall you are yourself because he still sees you as shorter than him and he will tease you about it. there is no escape.

whenever you're planning to grill lavender melons with the gang you sit on Itto's shoulders and grab the fruit that are on the highest branches too. very convenient and cute ♡︎

don't worry, he's stronk and won't let you fall. he would rather be your cushion than let you get hurt.

so yes, Itto is 1000% protective. he needs to have you close in case danger is lurking behind the corner, but let's be honest, anyone who has the guts to mess with you must also have a death wish.

on a less scary note, one of his habits is always having an arm around you either over your shoulders on your waist ^^ whether you guys are walking around town or just chilling by a campfire, it's comfortable and assuring.

when you start hyping each other up it's the most exciting sight, just a never-ending cycle of jokes and laughter !! it's extremely contagious too.

it might sound cheesy but your laugh is the most beautiful sound to him, so he jokes around you every chance he gets.

expect tons of cheesy pickup lines. the best part is he seriously thinks they work xD but you don't have the heart to tell him you're laughing not because he's being smooth but more cause it's hilarious and cute.

though he knows you appreciate the litte things, he still makes effort to spoil you. saves money to go to expensive restaurants with you and get you all kinds of gifts :')

though sometimes there might be a mysterious shortage of money in the gang's savings

you must do his makeup too! Itto loves standing out so the flashier the better. he thinks your eye for fashion and skill in makeup are awesome. even if you're just doing your own makeup and he catches you, be prepared to be stared at by a pair of curious eyes.

whenever the gang hosts some self-promotional event Itto does everything to get you to give them advice on the best outfits. often it turns out they can't even afford the costumes but you're so kind and always manage to work out something else with their budget :')

Shinobu always scolds him when he ends up in jail for being a dumbass and making you sad. still, you never fail to greet him with a smile over and over which brings Itto to the verge of tears and scoop you up into a warm bear hug. brace yourself for lots of kisses ♡︎

the whole gang knows he doesn't deserve you.

Granny Oni thinks you're absolutely precious together though.

i know for a fact he has his strongest onikabuto named after you. he claims it brings good luck and hasn't lost a match since👀

being with Itto is a lot like dating your best friend. half the time there aren't many traditional gestures of romance but i assure you Arataki 'numbero uno' Itto wouldn't be half as great if it weren't for you by his side.

𑁍 𝑱𝑬𝑾𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑹𝒀 𝑩𝑶𝑿

— favourite memory with you

it's a surprisingly quiet moment from a summer night after a rowdy campfire party, but Itto's heart still swells at the thought of it. you were lying under the stars just outside of Hanamizaka with your head on his chest. you weren't talking about anything particular, just what funny things Akira had done or how delicious Shinobu's snacks had been. but then you caught him off-guard with your next words: "you know, i'm really glad i met you, Itto. you've turned my whole world upside-down and i love you for it." that made dozens of tiny onikabuto scatter in his stomach. and the way you looked up at him was just a cherry on the cake: so sincere and loving, the manner in which nonody else has ever gazed at him. to this day he wonders how he did not combust right then and there. maybe his powers of sheer awesomeness kept him together? but he wrapped and arm around you and laughed. "then don't go anywhere 'cause the real show is just about to begin !!"

— favourite place to kiss you

this man will go straight for your lips, no exceptions, no cap. he's a lil on the needy side so you can tell him if you start feeling uncomfortable but otherwise he'll pour all his passion into every kiss he gives you. he ain't gonna half-ass it when it comes to showing you how much he loves you, and that naturally includes the smooches.

— favourite nicknames to call you by

king of nicknames, has tons of silly ones for you that are borderline teasing but affectionate; a lot of them involve inside jokes too! shortie and weirdo he uses with context. babe is his absolute favourite though ♡︎

Feel free to ignore this, it Will Be Long, Probably.

I've been faffing around with this message for the past week or so but my brain won't let me rest until I word-vomit my adoration for your work and mind-mechanics at you.

I had to have re-read MNP about three or four times in said past week, and am currently on the probably fifth one, but who really knows at this point. I may have a slight problem.

The point I'm trying to make is that the pineapple witch has worked her magic on me as she has on so many others. Every re-read seems to pull me deeper. Even though I know exactly what will happen at this point, I still laugh at every mean quip, still gasp at every tense moment, still read through blurry eyes at Several Chapters That Shan't Be Named.

I honestly lack the vocabulary and word-sense to express myself properly, but I'll try anyway, because if nothing else your writing deserves to be sung its praises.

Your story made me honestly and critically consider the world with open eyes.

I find a lot of myself in Sophie. A little too much. A little too weird. A little bit sheltered, maybe naive. Blindfolded and ear-muffed would be a decent metaphor. It's been hard, growing out of that, but I've been trying. And reading your work has helped a lot.

Your writing, for lack of better wording, sparks. It's life, and joy, and familial banter, and struggle with all its ugly faces, and yes it's angry and vicious and unforgiving too. It slaps you with a novel view of the world and you either agree and move on or are forced to contemplate why exactly it rubs you the wrong way.

The care with which you crafted the story is evident in every word and comma and period. Several foreshadowed moments had me gripping my head and moaning in pain because I Knew what was coming, but I had to keep reading to find out how it impacts the world you built. The characters are lived in, and the dialogue flows so naturally it feels as if you're right in the middle of the bantering and arguing.

Which brings me to my next point: roomboom. I want to put them in my mouth and never let go.

They seem made for each other, and yeah they probably are, but you ruined all other Law ships for me. And to be honest all other OP crews too beside the Hearts. I love all the idiots to bits and pieces.

But back to roomboom. They're a particular flavour of weird devotion I didn't know I was looking for in my ships and will now never find again. I will be eternally forced to re-read MNP for a glimpse of what true love is. I hope you're happy.

The candid way they treat each other, the way they fit like puzzle pieces with their weirdo interests and weirdo personalities, the way they're their own people with Several Issues, but somehow seem to work out still despite their differences. The deep respect they have for each other and the people in their lives. The way they went from (I hate you and wanna beat you up why won't you die) to (I love you and wanna beat you up please let me die with you) is just... unbearable.

Their journey has been a long and winding one, amd still has some mole-hills ahead, but they've given me hope that for every weirdo out there, even a frizzy-haired, burnt-to-hell, panic farting alchemist-witch, there is an even weirder person waiting for them.

TLDR; I want to put the entirety of your writing into my mouth and swallow it, and also would it be alright to make a personal use bookbind of MNP because I need it in my hands.

(I'm deep in Cherry Bomb Alchemy atm, love how they already married and divorced like 5 times, peak roomboom energy, keep up the good work)

thank you so much, oh my goodness. my heart is so full ❣️ "for every weirdo out there, there is an even weirder person waiting for them" made me laugh. it's so true.

the thing about growing up is it never ends. it often takes a strong electric shock to get the ball rolling, and i'm happy mnp could be that for you. books were also my first step into the world beyond me. it's a really special feeling. for as long as we live, let's cherish it 😎 👍

please bookbind mnp! and please take photos! seeing it would mean everything to me, i think i would cry 😭🤍💗

i appreciate this message so much. i'm a slow writer, but i will keep trying my best. and i hope the world perceives you as wonderfully as you have perceived me. have a great day 💐💐💐

Runaway Lover Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Encounter

Xu Mo's career is not good. He is the underground lover of the financial president of H City, or because he looks like the white moonlight in the president's heart, he came to be a stand-in.

As a lover, Xu Mo is probably unqualified. He doesn't know how to please Qin Yiming, the gold master. However, he heard from the maid in the villa that Qin Yiming had already changed many lovers, but he was the only one who stayed the longest.

Well! Probably because his face looks like the white moonlight in Qin Yiming's heart. Once, President Qin went out for a party and came back drunk. He kept grabbing a photo and crying, and hugged Xu Mo and called him (XM) by another man's name.

Xu Mo secretly glanced at the person on the photo. It was an elegant young man wearing glasses with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Which is not like a person like himself (XM) who has never read any books.

Speaking of which, Xu Mo is still a little sad. He used to have a happy family. Unfortunately, when he was a freshman in high school, his father became addicted to drugs, lost all the money in the family, and finally died of a drug overdose. Xu Mo's mother couldn't stand it, so she remarried and went to another city with her new husband.

Xu Mo was left as a pitiful person. The key point was that his father still owed a lot of money to others. The IOUs were placed in front of Xu Mo, which made him feel dizzy.

Asking the neighbors to buy the house to pay off the debt, Xu Mo dropped out of school and went to work in the economically developed city H with his meager luggage.

Xu Mo, who had just arrived in H City, was a little overwhelmed. He was only 17 years old at the time, and many places were unwilling to hire him. Ahl-Shui, the old grandfather amd owner of a dumpling shop, just wanted to hire an apprentice, so he reluctantly accepted Xu Mo.

Ah-Shui is getting old, he has no children, and he is a little powerless to work on the dumpling shop by himself. He was satisfied that he had recruited Xu Mo, an apprentice, to work there. Although he didn't say anything, he actually liked Xu Mo very much in his heart. When he met everyone, he praised Xu Mo for being honest and diligent, which made Xu Mo feel a little embarrassed.

Later, Xu Mo worked in the dumpling shop for a few years. After Ah-Shui died, he left the shop to Xu Mo. Apart from making dumplings, Xu Mo, who didn't know what else he could do, kept running the "Ah-Shui Dumpling Shop".

When he met Qin Yiming, it happened to be Xu Mo's 21st birthday. He originally wanted to close the store earlier and planned to go home to the cake shop next to him to buy himself a small cake to celebrate his birthday. In the end, he met Qin Yiming, a guest. The other party's facial features were very handsome, tall and tall. He was wearing a silver suit and looked like a business elite.

Xu Mo didn't know that the guest at that time was Qin Yiming, the financial president of H City.

As he usually entertained guests, he stepped forward and asked, "May I ask what kind of dumplings do you want? Do you want to take them away or eat them in the store?"

"Wen...qing...don't leave me..." Qin Yiming was a little drunk. He looked at the person in front of him and mistook him for his own white moonlight.

After listening to Qin Yiming's words, he (XM) smelled a strong smell of alcohol again when he (XM) approached the other party. Xu Mo smiled helplessly. It turned out that the guest was drunk and regarded him as someone else.

"Where is your home? Should I call your family to come and pick you up?" Seeing that the other party was good looking, Xu Mo politely asked Qin Yiming what to do.

"Don't go back...don't try to leave me..." Qin Yiming was afraid that Wen Qing in front of him would disappear, so he stepped forward and hugged him tightly to death and was unwilling to let go.

Xu Mo was a little stunned for a while, but he was actually hugged by a big man. Forget it, maybe this guest fell out of love... Later, Xu Mo had to take Qin Yiming to his house and let Qin Yiming stay overnight.

The rental house is not big, Xu Mo's house only has one bed, and the two of them slept together at night.

The next morning, Qin Yiming woke up first. The consequence of a hangover was a headache. He rubbed his temples and looked around before realizing that this was not his home. He vaguely remembered what happened last night. He seemed to have entered a dumpling shop, and then pestered the owner of the shop... Damn, how could this be?

Qin Yiming looked at the unfamiliar young man next to him who had not woken up yet. The other party looked very young and his skin was white, like someone who had not been in the sun for many years. The most important thing is that he looks like Wen Qing when he was high school, especially his profile...

After a while, Xu Mo woke up. He first picked up the alarm clock next to him to see that it was exactly seven in the morning. After some time, he had to prepare the ingredients and go to the dumpling shop to open for business.

He immediately got up and changed his clothes. He turned to the guest on the bed and said, "Hello! My name is Xu Mo, and I'm the owner of Ah-Shui Dumpling Shop."

"Thank you for taking care of me last night. This is my business card. "Qin Yiming took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Mo.

Looking at the name and position on the business card, Xu Mo was a little surprised, no matter how much he didn't care about the outside world, he still read the newspapers often, and often saw Qin Yiming's name in the newspapers...

"Mr. Qin, if you are in a hurry, go ahead! Go get busy! I'm going out later." Xu Mo put away the business card, indicating that he had something to do later.

"Xu Mo, can you cook me a bowl of dumplings? I'll pay." Qin Yiming got dressed and came over to ask the other party.

There is money to be made, so Xu Mo is naturally happy. He replied ok, then went out and took out the dumplings that had been prepared in the refrigerator and put them into the pot to cook.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Qin Yiming glanced at Xu Mo in the kitchen intentionally or unintentionally. The appearance and personality of the young man seemed to suit his taste. There are no women's items in the narrow house, it seems that there should be no girlfriend, which means that Xu Mo is single, so he can pursue the other party unscrupulously.

(T/N: THIS FCKING—!!!)

After some time, seeing that the dumplings were cooked, Xu Mo picked up the spoon and fished out the dumplings.

"The dumplings are ready." He brought the dumplings to Qin Yiming.

Qin Yiming nodded, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of a dumpling. It tasted pretty good.

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?" Xu Mo looked at the other eagerly. These are the dumplings he made yesterday, with mushrooms and pork stuffing in them. This is a recipe he has never tested before. He plans to make new dumplings in the future and add this flavored dumpling to the store's menu.

Qin Yiming looked at the other party's appearance and couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious!"

When Qin Yiming left, he put two hundred yuan on the table in the living room. Xu Mo packed up the bowl and came over to see the money on the table. He rushed out and stopped Qin Yiming, "Mr. Qin, you have given too much money, and dumplings only cost seven yuan a bowl."

"It's okay, I like your house very much. I slept at your house last night, so you can treat it as the accommodation fee." Qin Yiming waved his hand and left.

For this matter, Qin Yiming left a generous influence on Xu Mo. He thought they would never see each other again.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, Qin Yiming would come to his shop regularly to ask for a bowl of dumplings, and he also expressed his willingness to spend money to go to Xu Mo's house to learn how to make dumplings. Xu Mo didn't understand the mind of ​​a rich man, so President Qin was free to be President Qin.

Idk if its a cringe OC so i need you to tell me. but basixcally shes a voice actress from the outskirts of hammerlocke on the spikemuth side. Idk if i ship her with piers yet but i do headcannon that when she was first starting out as a VA in order to get used to her voice she used to make cassette tapes of her reading childrens books. She hated listening to them tho and in a self consious moment threw them all out in a dumpster on the bridge to spikemuth amd piers found them and used to play them to marnie when she couldnt sleep. Unbeknownst to my OC shes something of a legend in spikemuth cause their library is severely underfunded so piers lent out the tapes and eventually made copies on cds for the local library. Do you think itd be weird if i make it part if my headcannon that sometimes when piers was lonely and it was just him amd marnie that hed play one of OCs stories really quietly and pretend that she was his partner and she was reading to marnie before bed and they were a happy little family and not just broken

Huh, good question! Does she find it weird in some way? Or would it actually encourage her to get back into narrations knowing how many people are genuinely happy with her content? I think it'd be a lil awkward but at the same time flattering in a way?? Like it's your stuff but it's all seen as positive and what you always wanted even after you gave up

as for the last bit, I think it's a very sweet idea!!! Maybe not a romantic partner, but he'd take comfort in having someone helping him and Marnie through their rough patches. I like the idea he starts thinking of a more domestic life but gets very flushed and tries to push it out of his mind until he he meets her, then he has to try like hell to not just be putty in her hands after seeking comfort in her for so long

teach them young ~ tom felton

word count: 1585

request?: yes!

@kellysimagines​ “Well i was wondering if you could write one where the reader amd tom have known eachother since tye 2nd harry potter movie and been friends evr since until they started dating in 2016 and the reader gets pregnant and they document everyrhing on Instagram and tiktok and stuff, and also youtube and they also post like updates on when the reader is in labor and when she had to deliver the baby and stuff (you can decide thw gender of the baby) and after the birth when they get home again they make cute tiktoks with the baby and also like one day the reader is on a online interview for her movie and tom and the baby are seen in the background watching harry potter? Can you maybe add that the baby are twins id you dont want twins them one baby is good :)”

description: in which he’s excited to teach his children all about the magical world he got to be a part of as a kid

pairing: tom felton x female!reader

warnings: swearing

masterlist (one, two)

From the moment you found out you were pregnant, you knew that your baby was going to have a magical life...literally.

You and Tom had originally met on set of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where you were playing a background character that would eventually become more important in the later movies. You became instant best friends and were inseparable for years. You became especially so after the two of you started dating after so many years of friendship.

When you found out you were pregnant Tom pretty well jumped for joy. He was over the moon at the thought of being a dad. He even had Willow full of excitement, although she didn’t completely understand why because...well, she’s a dog. Tom would constantly talk about all he was going to do with the baby when it came along, which included a very early introduction of Harry Potter into the babies life.

Imagine the shock both of you had when you went to your first ultrasound and found out you weren’t having one baby, but two! By the end of the long nine months, you and Tom had two little bundles of joy brought into your lives.

You both had a very public life through social media, especially after you found out you were pregnant and had decided to document the pregnancy on your social media accounts. Eventually, you just made a joint account that was dedicated to your family content, such as pictures and videos of the four of you doing things as a family. Your and Tom’s fans absolutely loved all of it. They loved to see the adorable content that included the babies, but mostly the pictures and videos in which Tom would dress the babies up in Harry Potter outfits or would be reading the books to them.

About a year after you had given birth to the babies, you were doing an online interview for your newest movie. A lot of people didn’t like the Zoom meetings and whatnot, but you loved them. It meant that you could spend time with Tom and the babies while also doing your job and promoting your movies, something that was nearly impossible before.

You were in the office with the door closed to do your interview, but, evidentially, you hadn’t closed it all the way when the door slowly creaked open and Willow snuck in, just out of view of the camera.

“Hello beautiful girl,” you said to the black lab. She happily trotted up to you and placed her head on your lap. “Looking for some love, huh? Is daddy too busy with the babies?”

“She must be jealous of your twins,” the interviewer said.

“Not really, actually,” you responded. “She wasn’t sure how to feel about them when we first brought them home, and she especially was not a fan when they started crying that first night. The poor thing was fast asleep and suddenly both babies let out this ear piercing screech. She hid under our bed the entire night.”

“Oh no!” the interviewer laughed. “I hope that didn’t last long.”

“It didn’t, luckily. We had them laying down on the couch one day while they were napping, and Willow just sat there looking at them the entire time. Every now and then she’d sniff them, and if they’d move it would startle her a little. But there was just something about that hour long nap that flipped a switch in her, and now she loves them. She’s very protective over them whenever we go out for walks and stuff. But if Tom or I are spending time with them, she’ll go to the other person for attention.”

“That’s so sweet. So I guess Tom is looking after them now then.”

You nodded. “Yeah, they’re out in the lounge watching something I think. I can hear the TV is on.”

“Yeah, I think we can kind of see something playing back there.”

You noticed that the lounge was slightly visible on your camera, but not enough to make out what was playing on TV. You turned to look out through the open door and smiled to yourself as you saw the familiar scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. You could only see the top of Tom’s head over the couch, but you knew he had both babies on either side of him, also as invested in the bright colors and sounds as their father was in the actual plot of the movie.

“They’re watching the first Harry Potter,” you said, turning back to the camera with a smile on your face.

“Oh my God, adorable!” the interviewer cried.

“I know. I can’t count how many times Tom has shown them the first three movies. He says he wants to wait until they’re a little older before he watches Goblet of Fire and beyond considering how much darker those movies are.”

“You and Tom have this joint Instagram and TikTok account where you post content of you and the kids, and a lot of what’s posted by Tom seems to be Harry Potter related.”

“It is. There is some Harry Potter stuff I’ve posted with them, but Tom is definitely the head of that ship.”

“It seems like he’s gonna raise a wizard and a witch himself.”

You chuckled. “He’s definitely trying. He loves that franchise so much, and not just because he was in it. The movies mean so much to him because they are what kickstarted his career and because they’re the reason we met. I remember the first time that he watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with them, back when they were only a few months old so they weren’t even really awake for it or anything, he told them that that movie is how they came to be.”

The interviewer took a moment to fawn over how cute that was again.

“And aside from that, he also says he wants the kids to get into the series because he wants them to look up to Harry the way he and a lot of other kids did,” you continued. “He wants them to know it’s okay to be different, and that you can do great things if you are different. Ironically, he wants to teach them to not be like Draco in the sense of bullying others because they’re different than you.”

“They are important lessons to teach kids.”

“They are. I don’t think we had to start so young with them, but I know that Tom was incredibly excited about this aspect of being a father throughout my entire pregnancy. I don’t think he was physically able to wait for the kids to get older so he could start showing them this stuff.”

The interview moved on from Tom and the kids back to talking about your movie. You continued to absentmindedly pet Willow until she realized you weren’t giving her your full attention either and left the room to go lay on the floor in the lounge.

It wasn’t long until you were finished with the interview, meaning you were finally done your press runs for the day. You had been sat in that one chair for hours and your legs and butt had gone numb. You were basically limping out of the room when you were finished.

Tom looked over his shoulder when he heard you coming and started to laugh at how you were walking. “You good, love?”

“Oh yeah, I’m fine,” you said, still awkwardly waddling towards the couch. “My lower half will be much happier to sit on the soft couch than that hard chair.”

As you predicted, your twins were sat on either side of their dad with their pacifiers in their mouths and their eyes transfixed on the screen. They barley even glanced at you as you walked around to sit next to on the other side of one of them.

“Are they enjoying the movie?” you asked.

“I think so. They haven’t said a word since it started, so I’m thinking that’s a good sign.”

You chuckled and looked down at your babies. They were both a mirror image of Tom but with your eyes. Of course, that was an immediate Harry Potter related joke between the two of you.

“Willow decided to come in for attention during the interview,” you told Tom.

“Oh, really? I’m sorry love, I didn’t even notice she was at the door.”

“Don’t be sorry. I didn’t mind it. The interviewer thought it was cute. She asked about the babies afterwards, and she could kind of see you three watching the movie through the open door.”

“I’m sure they loved that I was showing them Harry Potter.”

“She thought it was cute that you want to show it to them that much. As I do, too. I just can’t wait till they’re old enough to actually understand.”

Tom smiled at me and reached out to put his hand on mine. I smiled back at him and shuffled around so I could rest my head on his shoulder without crushing the baby between us. It didn’t take long for the two of their eyes to start slowly drooping closed before they lulled off into a peaceful sleep, but Tom and I continued to watch the movie until the credits rolled. Then, after laying the babies down for a nap, we decided to start movie two and relive the day we first met all those years ago.
