[Ghost with a reader who is mentally ill/neurodivergent]
[could be considered part of gen z! teddy]
▪︎ Disclaimer/A/N: this is my personal take on Ghost and how he’d be in this scenario and my personal experiences with my mental illness. This may not line up to your experience and that’s ok! I encourage you to write your own and share it <3
~
Hot take, Ghost may at first may not be able to handle it but the people who say he would leave you alone and let you fend for yourself? Wrong. Look at that man’s home life and growing up, he knows how bad it can get and will never let you slip that far down. He loves you and he’s gonna put in effort.
Ghost isn’t a stranger to mental illness, he’s in the military and has his own that he would never admit openly. However, sprinkle in neurodivergence and he’s kinda stumped.
You infodump him alot about your interests, like a ridiculous amount but he genuinely enjoys it and finds it relaxing to see you so passionate about something.
God help the asshole who interrupts you and asks “who cares?” Bc ghost is gonna stand up quicker than anyone realizes and fucking grabs the dude by the collar and shakes him around. He is extremely protective already but any blatant disrespect??? He absolutely will not stand for it.
Stimming is fun because he lets you grab his hands and mess with his fingers, tracing your fingers across his along with tracing his tattoo. He finds it soothing and will glare at anyone who side eyes you.
He likes when you both lay in bed, with you playing with his dog tags when you lay on his chest. It’s his favorite thing in the entire world and will blush if you bring it up.
He finds himself repeating back your phrases that you take from the internet, he doesn’t even realize he’s quoting some trend bc he doesn’t use social media.
In return you start to repeat HIM and now it’s an echo chamber. Why the fuck are you developing the Manchester accent now and why does it sound so authentic-
One of the best people to be around when you’re having a depressive episode, while he won’t make you talk, he won’t let you wallow by yourself. It isn’t a strange sight for Ghost to be in your room and just sit in your proximity. He’ll hold you if you want and tell you shitty puns but if not, that’s fine.
He knows your tells and when you start to get anxious or overwhelmed and will subtly press some kind of body part of his to yours, helping you ground yourself. It’s not strange to see him sit next to you everywhere with his legs spread out, his thigh up against yours while he talks to Soap.
He doesn’t take it to heart when you start to get snappy or bitter, he acknowledges that it’s the illness and will stare at you til you’re done and then ask if you want to go somewhere.
On days where you won’t leave your bed, he’ll make sure to bring you easy meals and water to make sure you’re at least taken care of before he leaves for the gym. Kissing you on your forehead and telling you to call if you need anything.
Ghost fucking spoils you, will buy you anything your little heart desires even if you have the money yourself. Bro will go on Etsy and find things he think you’d like and will buy it for you
He doesn’t understand the obsession with these fictional characters but hey if they make you happy
Ghost is your person, the one you go to when you’re feeling good and the one you go to when you’re at your lowest and he doesn’t care which one you’re feeling, he loves being that person for you. It makes him feel loved and important in ways he hasn’t felt in a very long time, if not ever.
You apologize so often about being a burden and he’ll always gently shake you by your shoulders and will remind you that “I would not be doing this if I didn’t want to, yeah? You’re my partner. We’re a team sweetheart. You’ll never be too much for me.”

How I feel about formal speech in Japanese, as a halfie 🇦🇺🇯🇵
How much are one’s values and philosophy forced to be tied to the language you speak? Having grown up in Australia, I live in a culture where there’s no hierarchy-based formality built into the language. Our service workers never call us “sir” or “ma’am” (in fact it feels very off-putting whenever you get a usamerican waiter who does). Calling out to a perfect stranger on the street is done with a “hey, mate” or “hey, excuse me!”. Our speech patterns don’t change too much depending on our familiarity with whoever we’re talking to - and we certainly don’t have separate verb conjugations depending on formality.
Contrast this with Japanese which has several different speech registers depending on familiarity and hierarchy of the person you’re talking to.
Tumblr media
Red: Keigo. Used by service staff. Used by low ranking staff to high ranking bosses in workplace situations.
Orange: Formal speech (sentence ending ます, です, ません, etc). Used by younger people when speaking to older people. Used by almost everyone when speaking to a stranger off the street.
Green: Semi-formal speech (sentence ending っす, しないです, etc). Used by people around the same age when speaking to someone they have only recently met, or to work acquaintances and similar.
Blue: Casual speech (sentence ending naked adjectives and nouns, だ, plain form verbs). Used by everyone to their own family. Used between good friends, even if one is a fair amount older. Used by bosses to their employees, teachers to their students.
(Please note this is graph was made by a me, a non-native japanese speaker, and is not backed up by any research. It’s based purely on vibes and its primary purpose is to assist in the explanation of my feelings about being australian-japanese. Also note that in reality there are not hard lines between each of these registers or strict definitions. If this were more accurate it would be more like a gradient)
I don’t want to be seen as rude, so when I’m in Japan I make an effort to speak in a formal register in certain situations (e.g. speaking to service workers, strangers on the street). I’m ok with the far left side of the graph. However, the purple dotted section is the part I have the hardest time with: people around my age who I am not (yet) friends with. As an Australian, I immediately want to speak in a casual register with anyone who has friend-potential — in my culture it’s polite and respectful to treat people like a friend from the start. Unfortunately, this has the reverse meaning in Japanese culture - it’s polite to keep people at arm’s length until you know they’re comfortable being closer with you. To use casual speech with an acquaintance carries an undertone of imposing a friendship on them that they may not want.
Culture and language are intimately linked, but is it possible to speak a language while being informed by a different cultural worldview? Is it possible to speak Japanese with both feet firmly planted in Australian culture? Does doing such a thing transform it into a different language altogether?
It’s certainly possible to speak English with my feet in Australian culture, and I would say that Australian English is a different dialect (with respect to formality registers) when compared to British English or US English. In fact I think US English is more similar to Japanese than it is to Australian English, if we’re just looking at formality.
A lot of what makes this a hard question is how homogenous Japan is, and how people in the Japanese diaspora (e.g. me and my family) don’t have a meaningfully different culture from mainland Japan, unlike other diasporas like Italian Americans. Since basically everyone who speaks Japanese is culturally and ethnically Japanese, the question of separating some of the cultural aspects from the language becomes almost unthinkable, and I would like to shake this unthinkable foundation of thought a bit.
Also, language is a collaborative thing. If I’m the only one speaking single-formality-register Japanese, I’m not speaking a new dialect, I’m just speaking normal Japanese in a weird way. It would take multiple people to understand the nuance of what I mean (not rude, just casual) for my single-register manner of speech to go from speaking normal Japanese rudely to speaking Australian Japanese normally. If I was to somehow assemble a bunch of Japanese-Australians raised in Australia, who learned Japanese with their family as their only input source (casual register only), would we be speak Japanese or some kind of new thing - Australian Japanese?
I wanna speak how I would normally speak in English, when I’m speaking in Japanese. But to do so carries subtext that I’m not trying to convey. If I want to speak without loading my speech with additional subtext I have to conform to the norms. But to do that would be to temporarily cast aside my cultural values on egalitarianism and respect!
So what’s more important - being true to myself and culture when speaking Japanese, or conveying the meaning I intend? Is it the responsibility of Japanese people to understand that people of different cultural backgrounds will speak their language, or is it my responsibility to conform to the way the language is spoken?

hello!!! could i please request BNHA angst where Aizawa has a daughter but never pays attention to her, even since a young age. Aizawas always worried with school work or with hero duties or with this class. TYSM! <3
the ending could be whatever you wsnt
Thank you for this request!
PART1 
CW: Angst, depression, Parent Neglect, Self-Harm, etc.
I hope this was good! It was kinda rushed. </3
Angst to fluff
word count: 471
I’ve decided to make this a series, because if I decided to write this whole thing down it would be about 1000+ words, and it would take like a month to write and fix everything up !
Tumblr media
ever since you were a baby, you were passed around. Handed to one person and then the next. You were always applauded for being able to take care of yourself at such a young age. During your elementary years you would be lucky to see him a few times a month, But as the years grew the amount of times you saw your father lessened, you'd usually see him every other month, but your conversations together always ended up in someone arguing. You lived by “yourself” and your cat, Soari. Sometimes you had one of your friends check on you if you needed something, and of course, your dad would drop by every now and then to check up on the house and to see if it was clean. You really tried your best to be the best daughter you could. you’d leave dinner in the fridge for your father to bring to lunch, tell him about your achievements, but he always seemed tired, stressed out or uninterested.
Tumblr media
you were now in High-School, attending Yokosuka High School, a school for people who don’t use their quirks. Your grades are not the best. But who would care? Clearly not your father. You could have good grades if you wanted. But there was no point.
Your father would usually get calls from the school every now and then about punching another student, failing a class, concerning scars on your legs/arms.
MAY 27, 2018.
Today, Mr. Ito, your principal called you into the office. You had no idea what it was about. Probably about  grades or something between those lines.
Tumblr media
“Y/N, I’ve called you here to talk about your grades and how you’re doing at home.” Mr. Ito said with a cheeky smile.  Huh? Why does he want to know about my home life? I’m doing perfectly fine on my own. You thought to yourself.
“So, it seems you’re failing 3 classes out of the 7 you have. What’s going on with that?”  God. This was so embarrassing. You just kept your mouth closed and looked down into your lap.
“Ok, then. Don’t speak if you don’t want to. But I’ve also wanted to tell you if you needed anyone to talk to, you could always talk to Ms. Satori, our counselor. She’s located at B11 on the 2nd floor.”
You looked up
“Is that all?” You asked Mr. Ito with an annoyed tone in your voice.
“oh!” He exclaimed 
“No actually, I forgot to tell you, I’ll be calling your father later to talk about so after school activities to get you more active!”  “uhm.. ok. Goodbye Mr. Ito.” You said.  as you walked out his office you headed straight to the bathroom, you didn’t wanna go to 5th period, nor 7th. You just wanted school to be over.

Pretty Hero
Pair: Eddie Munson x fem!reader
Warnings: smut, R18+, minors do not read!
This is my first ever smutty fanfic so bear with me…. Had to create a little more story before we get into the good part. Maybe the smut will come in part 2 depending on how well this one does.
Part 2 out now!!!!!!
————————————————————
You got dragged into it, unsure how it all happened. Hanging back after hours at the school, when you heard screaming and a crashing sound.
You followed where it came from, momentarily pausing to unlock your pocket knife you had stashed. You grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and therefore learnt to defend yourself at an early age, weapons included.
You saw Jason punching and kicking someone on the floor, they were utterly defenceless.
“Hey!” You screamed, Jason turned slightly to look over his shoulders.
“Fuck off sweatheart, this doesn’t concern you.” He spat at you.
Men have spoken to you like you’re trash your entire life. And you were yet to let them get away with it.
You waited for Jason to direct his attention back to the person on the floor. He lifted his foot and you seized the opportunity to shove him to the ground, forcing him to lose his balance.
You crouched down, your feet clamping his head to the floor. Your knife held out to his throat.
“I suggest you go back to daddy before I scar that pretty face, hmm?” You whisper. “Guys like you are the scum of the earth.”
You gave him one final blow to his abdomen, scurrying past him to help his poor victim to their feet. You thought it would be a freshman, a small little nerd…. But the body was a lot heavier than you expected.
“Munson?” Your voice broke. He groaned, leaning on you with the least amount of his body weight that he could manage. He tried talking but blood continued to come out. “Hey, hey… it’s ok. Come on, let’s get you to the hospital. Do you think you can walk to my car?”
He nodded, hoping on one foot to avoid putting too much pressure on the other. “Th-than-“
“It’s okay. You’re gonna be ok.” You said, trying to get him to not worry about talking.
Thankfully your car was relatively close to the entrance. Somehow, Jason took another exit and was already speeding off in his car.
“Fucking prick.” You mumbled as you helped Eddie into the car. “Try not to bleed to much on my seats yeah?”
You swore you saw him smile, only for the pain to take control of his face again.
Driving like a maniac to the local hospital, Eddie was getting checked out by the doctors in no time. You don’t know what made you stay, you waited there for him for hours.
“Relation to the patient?” The doctor asked you. Your blood shot eyes could hardly focus on him, in his white lab coat.
“I- I brought him in.” You answered.
One of the nurses whispered in his eye, giving you a small smile afterwards. “Right this way, Ms. Y/l/n. Your lucky you brought him in when you did, we were able to stop most of the internal bleeding.”
You followed the doctor down the halls, but you tried to follow the line of site of the nurse, wanting to know what she said to him.
“Is he okay? You know, all things considered?”
“He’ll be able to leave in a few days, but he’ll have to take it easy for the next few weeks if not a few months.” The doctor took the clipboard off from the wall next to a door further down the corridor.
You paused, unsure of what to do.
“You may go and see him now.” He said, no emotion in his voice.
You found Eddie hidden behind a white curtain, his face swollen and bruised; a cast on his left leg and bandages covering his ribs. Your eyes drifted to the naked skin along his chest and arms, taking in all the toned muscles and contrast between the dark tattoos and his pale skin.
“There’s my hero.” He spoke, his voice breaking with each syllable.
“Hey, I um…. Just wanted to check on you before I left.” You admitted, pacing yourself next to the end of his bed.
He nodded, his fingers tapping at the drip connected to his arm. “Just peachy.” He looked into your eyes with a dreamy expression.
Your mouth fell open, “I hope this wasn’t all some big plan for you to get drugs, Munson.”
His exaggerated reaction of shock fell over him, “I can’t believe you’d suggest that…. Me of all people? Please-“
You laughed at him, clearly observing him in a moment of poor judgment in his drugged haze.
“You sound so pretty,” he said.
“You sound drugged.”
“I am. Shh. I’m afraid if the nurses see I like it they might take it away, one of them told me my girlfriend was here.”
Girlfriend?
Your smile fell and you pressed your lips together. “Is that so? Do you want me to get her?”
He raised an eyebrow at you, well… to the best he could with the stitches in place. “Get who?”
“Your girlfriend?”
He gasped, “are you offering to be my girlfriend?”
You blushed, shaking your head. “How about I come back when your a bit more here mentally ok?”
He pouted. “Your leaving already? Do I get a kiss from the pretty hero?”
You leaned forward and placed a kiss to his hand, trying to avoid the bruised knuckles. “I’ll be back this afternoon. You know, although we don’t really speak much, I look forward getting to know you Munson.”
He hummed a response, clearly too far gone to take in all your life words at once.
You drove home, forcing yourself to stick to your route and not make a detour. Fate, unfortunately had other plans. It was still early morning and no one in the inner parts of town was awake yet.
Driving down the streets, you noticed a certain car parked half on the curb and the street. Taking a quick look around to make sure you weren’t being watched, you slipped out of your car quickly with your knife in hand. Puncturing a hole in 3 of the tires and leaving a nice large drawing of male genitalia on the main drivers side, you were sure Jason was going to wake up to a nice surprise in a few hours.
Time tracked my slowly, you didn’t want to seem too desperate to back to the hospital to see him, but you were worried that maybe him waking up alone wouldn’t be that good either.
With your father passed out on the couch with a beer bottle in his hand, you decided at 1pm that you’d go back and see him.
The same nurse from this morning was at the desk, she smiled when she saw you walk in.
“Hi darling, he’s been asking for you.” She said, her accent a little thick. “Hope you don’t mind me yesterday lying to the doctor, poor boy kept calling you pretty and I had to make sure you’d see him before you left.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Mr Munson? You have a visitor.” She said. Pulling open the door.
The Eddie you left this morning, was not the same one you saw in front of you. Long gone was the bubbly flirty persona, the pain medication all but drained out of him.
He groaned, almost unable to lift up his own head. “Hm?”
“I think it’s starting to catch up with him, just give him some time?” She said, leaving the two of you alone.
Your eyes were starting to fill with tears. “Hi.”
He opened the non-swollen eye, “Y/n? Wh- what are you doing here?”
“I’m the one who brought you in. I told you this morning I’d be back.” You sighed, “I guess you were too drugged up to even notice I was here. If you want me to leave I can.”
“No!- oh fuck!” He hissed, “forgot I can’t move much, shit. But no, no I don’t want you to leave. Actually, do you mind telling me what happened?”
“Do you mean the part of you getting beat up by Jason and I rescued you, or… the part that you were so high off your arse you flirted with me?”
“Both. Definitely both.”
You spent the next 20 minutes telling him everything, you couldn’t help but notice the faint flush come across his face upon learning how bad his flirting was.
“The nurse said you kept talking about me. Calling me pretty. Who knew you’d be so sweet, Munson.”
He avoided your eyes, “I um.. do that a lot when I’m high.”
“Do what? Be all cute and charming?” You giggle.
“Call you pretty.”
Oh. Your face grew hot. Your mouth opened but no words came out.
He swore under his breath, “sorry, I don’t know why I admitted that. Fuck. You probably think I’m a creep-“
“Eddie-“
“You’re just really pretty and I’ve had a crush on you for two years and I’m really embarrassed because you had to save me from getting my arse kicked. I remember parts of it, you with a fucking knife to Jason’s throat… fucking hot and terrifying at the same time and now I won’t stop rambling-“
“Eddie!” You say a bit louder, forcing your hand to cover his mouth. You didn’t press down hard, afraid you might add to his pain. “No need to be embarrassed ok?”
Silence
“Okay?” You repeated, and he nodded. “Good, now I would love for you to take me out some time, once you’re all better of course. How does that sound?”
Releasing your hand, he was stunned. “You…. You wanna go on a date? With me?”
“Yeah. Did you not want to? I thought from your little speech and the way I catch you looking at me at lunch meant that you’d want to.”
He nodded the fasted his injuries could allow. “I really want to.”
Smiling as you leaned to kiss his cheek ever so gently. “Focus on getting better then… oh and one more thing! Your pretty hero also forced Jason to get three new tires and maybe a new paint job on his car, unless he wants to ride around with a penis carved in to his door.”
“I think I love you.” He breathed out, the dreamy look back on his face.
“One step at a time Munson. Don’t cream your pants.”

OK SO,
I’m guessing Batman/Joker: Switch (2003) is a bit niche since I hadn’t heard of it until really recently. But as the CEO of niche quasi character studies of the Joker from the early 2000s I’ve gotta give this one it’s flowers.
It starts out with an interesting premise that it doesn’t really use, but the opener is this:
Tumblr media
So I was super hyped thinking this was gonna be one of those awful medical malpractice character studies that I love, where it examines what happens when you forcibly unravel the Joker personality with deeply unethical therapy.
(I love that concept and trust I’m writing a batjokes fic about something similar.)
But working on that theory, Batman comes to London to find Joker who has been let loose after what seems like a very unethical surgery where someone removed his smile and put it on the back of his neck. He’s not quite himself, getting a bit lost in the lines between himself and Batman, wandering around trying to solve what happened to him and forgetting to eat or take care of himself.
Which is where we get this great moment:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love it. The second somebody genuinely cares and intervenes on his behalf he assumes it’s Batman.
I really like the way the panels are drawn here, leaning into the surrealism of Joker's wide eye, and the smile in the place it shouldn't be, it's all very Dali. This, in combination with the fairly rare show of vulnerability from Joker, and the totally disconnected nonsense way he speaks in this one, really heightens that feeling of 'oh there's something wrong here', it's weird seeing a broadly sympathetic take on Joker.
But they know each other too well, because upon showing up, forcibly giving him medication is actually one of the first things Batman does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Batman reclassifies the lines between them, actually helping Joker get back to his baseline self. He doesn't capitalise on the confusion as a means of pacifying Joker or anything, he just rigidly reinforces the status quo- returning Joker to himself and putting them both back in Arkham.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But then we learn the real kicker: Joker asked for the surgery. It's really interesting to see the collage of his behaviour from far away, because this pretty extreme facial self-mutilation for the sake of a wider point, or just for comedy we won't see again for 10ish years, until he gets his face taken off by the Dollmaker before DOTF.
Just to quickly return to the initial vulnerability from Joker this issue teases the reader with. It does strike a fairly sympathetic tone, framing Joker as the victim of some cruel joke for once, removing his smile. But now we know he asked for it, literally. It isn't so much an ‘oh he got what he was coming to him’, but that the sheer amount of pain, psychological, physical pain the Joker experiences every day, due to this lifestyle he has chosen, is all still a direct result of his own choices. One bad day, or whatever backstory he may have had that led him here, we know that it is categorically not the only option. He is truly the architect of his own misery, he very much was the first victim of the Joker, and I find it interesting that this comic forces you to take that perspective. That even a vulnerable, half-starved and mentally confused Joker is this way because he "begged" for it, and is now facing the consequences of his own actions, with the faith that Batman will care enough to save him.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD okay.
so i watched the 8 hour jack stream(jesus) aka watched genloss top to bottom again and listened to his theories and stuff(i really vibe with the "kidnapped as kids" angle more now) and started thinking about some theories he and chat mentioned and.
now im thinking with like. ok its probably a pretty common theory, this post was what prompted this additional idea of mine actually, but ill explain it a bit: the theory that, since sneeg and charlie can come back over and over again, and they have referenced like, refusing to do the cooking challenge in ep 1, and how charlie was playing the mouse trap but ate the cage, they have obviously done the same kind of scenes we saw ranboo do, right. and then in the Announcement video we see the same kind of "missing poster" type headshots of them, with the caption "Found them!"
Tumblr media
i dont remember exactly where it was confirmed that showfall made the missing person posters, but like. yeah. these images are for missing posters like ranboo had. and with sneeg being caught by the security in ep 3, he had tried to escape, just like ranboo and charlie. and i feel like this wasnt the first or last time they have tried this!
also, during that screenshot the announcer says "our hero will meet a cast of crazy characters, who you may recognize", aka the audience has seen these "actors" before in other things! this is their first live show but what have they made before...?
then, with one of the Very first lines Ranboo says in the first episode, "it wasn't supposed to be like this"... showfall/hetch made it seem like this is ranboos first show and he's being tested for how well he does as The Hero.
I dont think what we saw is Ranboos first time starring in a showfall production.
its the first live thing like the announcement video said but i think hetch lied when he talked about how its a test, i think Ranboo's been here at least a few go arounds, if not tens/hundreds/thousands of times. WHICH MEANS in the end when he gets his memories back... theres an infinite amount of possibility of things they could remember for what they have been made to do in the past :) Bc remember, while this is comedy->horror, it was still relatively tame and non-explicit (at least by my personal standards?) so it is quite possible they have been in more R rated horror stuff, slashers, gore, actual saw, some kind of even worse psychological horror things, but also that they might have had incredibly good experiences like love and joy and community and anything positive too, and to remember all that in a rush... oh boy so i believe it is a circular reproduction, maybe they run through scenes repeatedly over and over while perfecting every little detail and getting different takes of genuine emotion but every time Real and a First experience... some kind of purgatory(omg christian hell reference) or endless torture or such...
ok that got really maybe unneccessarily angsty so heres my other thought:
i love me a fucking colour theory and colour symbolism! it bothered me a bit how like. in the promo game we get ranboo, then green friend/the villain(obviously charlie, tho the villain part still confuses me a Bit since its not quite true?), the blue friend/the taken(obvs sneeg) and then the red stranger/the saviour. and like it would logically follow that the red is hetch right?
jack when theorising said the titles are self descriptive, which i buy into, at least for the first episode context, charlie is the villain role, sneeg was taken(put in a cage and later snatched by the sharkciclester), and hetch was trying to help and save ranboo from this situation! but then in the second ep we also have red puzzler, and red niki? i WISH niki had. any kind of bigger role to build a Saviour type off of her but i dont think she does :( the puzzler is an option, since they make it seem like the puzzler tries to save ranboo? and thats actually a whole other thought like. since we know hetch was not actually helping ranboo, was the puzzler Genuinely helping them, and somehow showfall found out and killed him?? idk ANYWAYS that colour coding falling apart a bit made me think about how ranboo is also red!! rgb trio yknow??
if the titles are self descriptive... well i dont think Ranboo really felt like The Hero much, especcially not in the end...
I think Ranboo is actually meant to be the Saviour.
Esp with the jesus coding! I believe this kind of thing has happened many times before, with sneeg/charlie/ranboo/others realizing that shits fucked, and trying to escape, only to be caught and put back in the production. I think Ranboo(main character syndrome) was in a previous iteration the Saviour, who tried to help sneeg and charlie and others get out of there, to save them, save everyone. but they failed. got captured. once again waking up again with a "it wasn't supposed to be like this..."
and so the cycle continues, and the content wheel keeps spinning.
(ive only been in tumblr tags so feel free to link me any other ppl who arrived at the same conclusion)

Loki's di-llama- To Panty or not to Panty...
Pairing: Eventual Loki x Reader but right now he thinks she's a stinky mess and she thinks he's a hot jerk. Together they're a hot mess.
Warnings: Some innuendos and euphemisms about what Loki is packing down under and the effect it may have on some people. 🤨🤨 mild swearing, attempted poisoning, enemies to lovers, pining and Loki being Loki.....
Summary: In the land of Asgard, King Loki is selfish and vain. His arrogance causes others to plot against him. When he's turned into a llama, will humble peasant Y/N help Loki even though he plans to knock down her beloved village and build...a closet for his clothes?!
A/N: our idea (Loki's New Groove) written with lovely and talented @xorpsbane. Sorry it took me a stupid amount of time to get back to this...but here we are.....the finale!!!!!! Thank you all so much for reading/commenting and everything!! It has been our pleasure!!!! The inspiration for our little satchel angel came from none other then the lovely and talented @lokisgood!!! Check out her Satchel Steve series, it's amazing!!!
Part Five -- Finale-
Tumblr media
Loki stood there flabbergasted, staring at Hela like she had grown another head. "I..I don't understand....I thought...." Loki trailed off, looking down "Well, you thought wrong." Hela sneered walking over to her table picking up a dagger "y..your really gonna kill me....over panties!?" Loki yelled stepping back. "Let me explain it to you in a way you may understand..." hela trailed off walking closer "You’re unnecessary. Redundant. Unwanted. No longer needed.” she sneered repeating his own words to him. "You’ve been given the pink slip, You’ve been laid off, your job is no more....It has ceased to be, It has become a thing of the past, but No hard feelings.” she smiled seeing Loki's face "Hey, that sounds like what he said to you." Thor added "yes....I know you oaf.....it's called a cruel irony." She snapped "I don't think he needs anything ironed, he's not wearing clothes." Thor said furrowing his eyebrows.
"Please stop talking and finish them off." Hela snapped tossing Thor the dagger. He looked down staring at it "hey....your not gonna back down now are ya?" A voice said as the little man with the metal arm appeared on Thor's shoulder. "Hey, where's the other guy?" Thor asked seeing him shrug when the man in the white toga appeared, laying on a massage bed with little cucumbers over his eyes "hey!" Thor yelled making him jump "oh..geeze I'm sorry!" The man said, quickly making the table disappear "ok, what did I miss." He asked adjusting his satchel "well hela over there tossed me this dagger you see." He explained as you, loki and hela stared at him. "And she told me to take them out..and then he appeared and we waited for you.." Thor trailed off
"Thor!" Hela yelled getting his attention "what made me think you could do this....this one simple thing!" She yelled walking closer "everytime I talk to you it's like in taking to an ape!" She continues "woah!" The man in the toga said gasping "a really big, stupid Ape named Thor!" She yelled as all three of them gasped "and another thing! I've never like your pop tarts..' hela sneered "never!" She crossed her arms as Thor looked down. "Oh that's it...she's gonna get it." The man with the metal arm said. "Calm down guys, you know from above, the wicked will get their just rewards." The man in the toga said as they all looked up, seeing a heavy metal chandelier "Hey....that'll work." Thor said cutting the rope as it plummeted towards hela, closing his eyes, not wanting to see.
Opening his eyes he saw the chandelier landed a fraction too far to the right "that usually works." He mumbled "yeah...so does this." She said, pulling a lever as the floor opened up, Thor plummeting down the hole. You took the opportunity to look behind you, seeing shelves lined with potions seeing the one with the little person figure you nudged Loki "psssst....." you hissed trying to get his attention, but he kept staring at the floor. "For God's sakes loki." You whispered, sneaking over to the shelves, reaching your hand up to grab the potion "now, where were we." Hela said, turning seeing you by the potions "and what do you think your doing?" She asked, making her way towards you when you snatched the vial, trying to keep distance between her.
"Loki....do something!" You yelled, ducking as a beaker flew past your head, running around the table she plowed into you, tackling you to the ground as the vial flew out of your hand, seeing her pull a knife out and hold it above you "now, I will..." She trailed off as she flew off of you, her body slamming into the shelved knocking all the potions to the floor, looking up seeing Loki standing over you, looking into your eyes "y..you saved me.." you whispered "i..well see.." he stuttered, running a hoof over his face "I need you to open the vial....thumbs." He said making you smile "uh huh.." you trialed off, jumping up going to the pile of potions "which is it!?" You yelled "what makes you think I know!?" Loki yelled back hearing an alarm sound.
"You two better hurry....I'm having guests over." Hela laughed as the doors flew open, several Einjhar stepping into the room "get them! They murdered king Loki!" Hela yelled pointing to you both when the guards pointed their staffs at you "shit, take them all!" You yelled, gathering them up in your skirt you took off, Loki following close behind you, knocking a table over as you ran."Ok...we have to figure out which one it is....try this one." You said, popping the lid off pouring it down Loki's throat when he suddenly shifted "an octopus! Are you kidding me!?" Loki yelled, his tentacles flopping around. You heard the gaurds approaching as you picked him up and ran down a long hallway. Looking down for the next vial you saw Loki's face buried between your breasts, his tentacles wrapping around your back "umm..scuse me." You said clearing your throat "oh..um i...it was cold." Loki said letting you go "yeah....here try this one." You said, pouring it in his mouth he suddenly changed into a sloth as he plopped down to the floor "uuugh!" He yelled laying there.
You looked up seeing the group of guards coming, grabbing him by the scruff of his neck you took off running "Please have wings." You said pouring the next potion down his throat as you jumped off a ledge "woo I'm flying!" He yelled, flapping his wings, looking up seeing he was a...chicken. "shit.." you muttered as you both free fell towards the ground. You closed your eyes, bracing for impact when you landed on something...soft. you opened your eyes seeing you were lieing in a pile of...panties. "aahhh.....no no no!" You yelled trying to dig your way out. "Calm yourself, it is only my Panty collection." Loki snarked fluffing his feathers "umm Gross!" You said, a shiver running through you.
"Just come on." You said, looking down seeing you had four vials left "you suck at picking, Probably because your poor, I'm picking the next one." He said hopping up onto your shoulder "give me that one." He said. You popped the top off "Yes your majesty." You snarked, pouring it down his throat, his weight suddenly shifted, turning into a.."not...one...word." He said glaring at you. Looking up seeing his head hit the ceiling "a giraffe..haha!" You laughed bending over "ha ha....very funny." He said, attempting to turn as his hooves slipped on the marble floor like ice, sending him straight into the canal. "Your...hahaha...such a cluts!" You laughed holding your sides watching him bob in the water "I'd like to see you try." He snarked "just give me another one." He snapped.
You looked down at the three you had left when you heard the guards approaching. "Shit.." you sighed, picking one you popped the lid off, leaning forward pouring it in his mouth as your foot slid, sending you into the water. You popped up, coughing up water seeing Loki "yes! I'm a llama again!" He yelled "wait.." he said looking at his hooves when a large boom radiated through the room, the water suddenly draining as you were both pulled downward, quickly grabbing a ledge as you fell through the bottom, hearing Loki's high pitched scream as you reached out grabbing his tail. "Could you please shut up!" You yelled swinging him to the side, watching him hook his hooves over the ledge pulling himself up, pulling yourself up seeing the group of guards fall from the hole, down the face of the mountain.
You kneeled down, clutching your chest trying to calm yourself when Loki came and say next to you "are you ok y/n?" He asked, looking up seeing his deep green eyes watching you. "Y..yeah, I'm fine." You said pulling out the last two vials. "Ok, it has to be one of these." You said holding them out. "I don't think so!" Hela yelled, tackling you as the vials flew from your hand. You looked up as Loki rushed to them, hela right on top of him as they landed on the vials, a large puff of green smoke surrounded them "loki!" You yelled, standing up seeing Loki stumbled out coughing, the cloud dissipating when you saw a small fluffy rabbit sitting next to the vial. "Ill take that thank you very much." Loki snarked picking it up "ok, this is the one." You said smiling, relieved it was almost over when the bunny lept up, clawing at Loki's face "shit! Run away! Run away!" You yelled, wishing you had a hand grenade as Loki swung around knocking you off the ledge.
You barely caught yourself on another small ledge, thanking whatever gods there were that Loki carved weird designs into the castle. "Y/n!" You heard Loki yell, "drink the potion." You yelled back, trying to hold on as your fingers ached. "What the.." you heard before hearing a maniacal laugh "muahaha...did you truly believe.." the high pitched voice stopped before coughing "is that my voice?" It said looking around "is that MY voice!" It squeaked making you laugh "ugh..oh well." Hela said holding the potion over the edge "no! Don't drop it!" Loki yelled "I'm not you idiot! I'm going to drink it, and once I'm back to my goooorgeous self I'm going to KILL YOU!" She yelled.
You felt your fingers begin to slip, holding on for dear life as the small vial fell towards you, clinking on the stone as it traveled along the carvings on the wall when a screaming Hela fell past you. "Shit...shit..." you breathed looking down. "I'm going to die." You said to yourself, trying again to lift yourself up, seeing Loki slide down the rock going after the vial. "Loki!" You yelled, seeing him look over at you "ah, give me one second." He said, reaching forward to grab the potion. "Lokiiii..." you cried out, closing your eyes as your fingers gave out, feeling hooves wrap around your hand, looking up seeing Loki smiling at you "you didn't think I'd let you fall did you?" He winked pulling you up when you saw the vial fall of the ledge "oh no..." you trailed off watching it.
"It's...fine." loki sighed smiling "need another llama at your farm?" He asked looking down "loki, we will figure this out, we just need..." you trailed off hearing laughter, as hela shot up through the sky holding the vial "what the.." you started "Oh! My trampoline order must be here." Loki said smiling. You looked up seeing hela slam into the over hang of the ledge making you wince, the potion flying over to the other side of the wall between two long carvings "hey, look!" You yelled, pointing at it seeing Loki nod as you turned, pressing your back to his, looping your arms together you leaned on eachother, slowly walking up the wall.
"Ok, lift me up." You said as he pushed you up, extending his neck you reached out, your fingers brushing the vial when hela snatched it "muahaha.....I win." She said as a small door flew open, smacking hela in the face as she dropped the vial "got it!" You yelled reaching out. You pulled yourself up, grabbing Loki's arm pulling him with you as you sat face to face panting, "holy...shit." you sighed seeing him laugh "here, let me." You said, pulling the lid off you held it up "see you on the other side." He smiled, drinking the potion, transforming back onto the King.
Tumblr media
"But really, I am very sorry I had you thrown out a window." Loki said, patting Anthony's back "oh, its OK your highness, all is forgiven." Anthony smiled "I better get back to work, have a pleasant day." He said bowing to Loki before taking off down the hall "he really is a nice guy." Loki said to himself, adjusting his tunic as he walked into the throne room, seeing you sitting at the far end by the model of your town, holding the small version of your home. You looked beautiful with your hair brushed to the side sweeping over your shoulder, the sun beaming in the window hitting your face making you look like an angel. He cleared his throat, smoothing his hair down as he strode over to you "so, you lied to me." He said glaring at you.
I beg your pardon?" You asked, looking up into his eyes, a heat traveling through you as his gaze pierced into you. "I believe you told me that this part of your village had the best view, and I was drug all around that grimy little village and I saw no spectacular view." He said crossing his arms "wait, i.." you trailed off "so, I will be building my closet elsewhere...thank you very much." He said, pulling the model building off the village, reaching down grabbing your little home, his fingers brushing yours as your eyes met "so...I'm afraid you'll be stuck in the view less village forever y/n." He smiled, taking you model home setting it back in place. You looked up at him adjusting your model home "I guess I can't fool you huh?" You smiled "oh no I'm onto you, you can't pull the wool over my eyes y/n." He said sitting down next to you sighing.
"So, what now?" You asked looking at him "Well, I've abolished the Panty law, and will be working to fix our economic issues, how about you?" He asked looking at you "Well, I guess I'll be heading home." You said looking down, seeing him nod out of the cornerber of you eye. "Oh, before I go...I got you something, but don't tell anyone." You whispered, reaching into your pocket you pulled out a pair of panties, tossing them at him making him laugh. "T..thank you my dear." He smiled tucking them into his tunic. "Well, I'll see you around." You said standing as he did "have a safe journey home y/n." He said, grabbing your hand kissing the back of it. You nodded, quickly leaving as a tear slid down your cheek. You made your way to the market, wiping your eyes "stupid y/n, he's a king and your...nothing" you said to yourself, looking back at the palace as you turned and began your journey home.
A week later you woke to the sound of hammering making you groan. You got up looking out the window seeing an entire crew of people building a new home on the hill next to yours "new neighbors...yay." you said rubbing your eyes. You got dressed heading down stairs seeing nat "morning sunshine!" She said flipping eggs in a pan "yeah...fantastic." you said flopping down. "You miss him don't you?" She asked setting the pan down. "No idea what your talking about." You said standing back up "Why don't you go back, tell him how you feel?" She asked "because! I'm a peasant nat, he said so himself. And he was interviewing brides when we met, he's probably married already." You sighed grabbing your poncho "I'm gonna go tend the animals." You said quickly leaving before she said something else.
A few days later you saw men carrying large furniture into the house, appearing to get the home set up. "Well, I better welcome whoever it is." You said walking into the kitchen you grabbed a basket, adding a loaf of bread, some fruit and cheese and some of the brownies you made yesterday. It would be awhile before you could afford to make more but it was worth it for a good first impression. You grabbed your poncho and set off, walking up the path hearing someone giving directions as you knocked on the door, holding the basket out as it opened "yes...over there is perfect. Oh..hello y/n." He said making you freeze "l..loki?" You stuttered seeing him smile "the one and only." He said winking "what are you doing here?" You asked staring at him "oh, well I found THIS hill had the best view, so I built a summer home. Is that for me?" He asked pointing to the basket "oh..yes." you said holding it out.
"Listen y/n, I wanted to..." he started, hearing a voice from inside "who is it my king?" A lady said, stepping Into the doorway looking at you "oh, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to interrupt." You said quickly turning and leaving "y/n..wait!" You heard him yell behind you but you refused to turn around and let him see you upset "y/n.." he said, gently grabbing your arm turning you around "the reason I came here, was because I needed to tell you something." He said tilting your head up to look at him. "I..I need you y/n, i...I love you." He said making you freeze "but...what about.." you started looking at the woman "oh her, she's my personal guard. Since Hela I have someone with me always." He explained. "But, I'm a peasant...and I'm smelly and poor and your the king and..." you were cut off as Loki pressed his lips to yours, slowly moving his lips with yours, pulling back to look at you.
"Y/n...you saved my life, my kingdom and most importantly....you saved me from myself. I love you and only you, smelly peasant breasts and all." He smiled cupping your cheek. "I..I love you too Loki." You sighed, a tear streaming down your cheek as you reached up kissing him again, his arms wrapping around you holding you tight to him. You pulled back smiling "I would be honored if you would allow me to court you." He said pushing your hair back. "Yes...I'd like that very much." You smiled back. "Thor just opened a new restaurant near here, would you care to join me for two heartburns in arsenic sauce?" He asked making you laugh "I would love to." You said grabbing his hand you walked into the sunset, the future ahead of you...

Malleus Draconia Smut HC’s 💚
Tumblr media
guys please this is 18+ afab reader MINORS DNI
warnings: smut, breeding vaguely mentioned, biting. idk just don’t read if you don’t want to see horny thoughts below the line (word count 730)
——————————————————————————
-His horns are surprisingly a bit sensitive. (there’s a shocking amount of nerve endings in his horns. i can imagine it’s like our teeth) they are even more sensitive closer they are to the base.
-His horns are rigid yet smooth to the touch.
-He finds its amusing when you caress his horns he becomes flustered if you touch the base of them, he practically melts into your touch. He becomes pretty needy and touchy whenever you do this.
-His tongue is split, almost like a snake tongue. If he kisses with tongue it feels rather weird because of its texture. This isn’t taking away from the perks it certainly has.
-He loves just burying his face between your thighs and lapping up at all your sensitive spots. He finds it amusing and pleasurable watching the way your body reacts.
-He’ll start at a slow place swirling and pressing his tongue against your clit. As you get closer he’ll flick your clit with his tongue studying your body for any type of reaction. He’ll continue to tease you like this till you're begging him for some type of release. He’ll offer you a smile, proceeding to suck and lap at your clit till you cum.
-Pro tip: Please caress this man's horns while he eats you out. He’ll moan softly when you grab onto them. It encourages him to go faster.
-He’s a switch with a heavy, HEAVY preference for being top. (maybe one day he’ll come around and let you top more often).
-Humans are certainly strange to him. Especially the way humans are aroused. He often turns you on without even knowing. Especially with his gaze.
-He doesn’t get turned on very often, or at least when he does he doesn’t like to show it unless you're behind closed doors. He is a Prince after all and your antics mustn’t ruin his reputation, or at least that's what Sebek tells him. He likes to act calm for the most part but oh boy if you keep teasing him he’ll eventually lose his composure.
-He’s a dragon and a very, veryyyy tall man. He is 6’7 (200.66 cm) so he’s probably an easy 8in (20.32cm).
-When having sex with him for the first time, he’s hesitant, borderline scared. Afterall he doesn’t want to hurt you or somehow scare you away. He is very soft and gentle with you. Even his kisses are gentle, as if you’ll shatter into a million pieces if he is even the tiniest bit too rough with you.
-He won’t even move unless you tell him it's ok. He’ll start gentle and slow murmuring praises to you as he slowly picks up the pace. Now if you tell him you want him to be rough.. prepare yourself, it’s going to be a long night.
-To Malleus sex should be passionate and filled with love. He’ll whisper how much he loves you while going down your body, covering your skin with bite marks and hickies. He has the decency to only mark you in places where only you and him can see though it mostly to spare you the embarrassment.
-Speaking of that, he actually loves biting you and marking you. It’s like claiming you all for himself. He wonders if he is just possessive or maybe it’s the dragon in him.
-Malleus’ stamina is unparalleled and he can out-do just about everyone so on that note he may also have a slight breeding kink. It’s more of the idea of it cause at this time Malleus isn’t in for raising a child but maybe someday when he finally marries you.
-Personally I feel like Malleus wouldn’t exactly want you to call him anything in bed. Cute nicknames are ok like Mal, “Tsunotarou”, and My Prince are probably his only exceptions if used in a playful, loving manner.
-But he would definitely have a plethora of pet-names for you. His favorites being Darling, My Love, Dearest, and My Treasure. Occasionally he’ll decide to amuse you by giving you a silly nickname.
-Malleus can be a creature of habit and make things rather ritualistic so if you find your bedroom life getting boring you’ll have to encourage him to spice it up or you’ll have to do something yourself.
-Malleus is willing to try almost anything in order to satisfy your needs, though its partially because he is worried if he doesn’t fulfill your desires you might seek someone else but also he just wants to make you happy.

Hi!
I’m not sure if this is how you request things as Ive never really done it before so I hope this is ok😅
I saw you write for yona and so I was wondering if you could write A L and U for Zeno and Kija from the yandere alphabet?
Note: You did it right, no worries!
Letters: A, L, U
Includes: Yandere Zeno and Ki-Ja from “Akatsuki no Yona”
Format: Headcanons; 2nd person
WARNING(S): Yandere themes
LINKS: Akatsuki no Yona Masterlist
ZENO
Tumblr media
Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
⠀⠀Love with Zeno is an emotional rollercoaster in itself. If you hadn't known any better you'd say he's never truly been in love, at least not this way. Anything that gets his hands on you is a “yes!” for him. Physical affection i s the quickest way to get his heart drumming against his chest, so if he kisses or hugs you; don't be surprised! He swears he can hardly control himself.
⠀⠀Truthfully, he wishes to live in your skin, melted and merged into one. Lulled by the gentle beating of your heart. There's not a moment he's not yearning for you wherever you may be, for every moment he spends without you feels like an eternal hell upon his being. You could say it's suffocating; I mean, you have no personal space! It's as though no matter where you look, the paths you turn, Zeno will always follow.
Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
⠀⠀One thing for certain, he’s not exactly subtle with his advances. He's all for being in your personal space, even when you aren't together. Sitting a bit too close to you when you spend your time by a running stream. Subtly wiping the sugary cream of pastries off your pretty lips, hastily licking it off his thumb.
⠀⠀Being the glutton he is, sharing food isn't always his cup of tea. However, he loves you so take as much as you want! Whenever he’s craving your touch, he’s quick to find it. So if you don't notice by then, it'll only get more and more extreme by the day. So pick your poison.
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
⠀⠀Not exactly, but that depends on your opinion of a “classic Yandere”. Zeno's awfully dependent on you, requiring your time and attention to function in his daily life. With the time he’s spent in this wretched world, Zeno has plenty of emotional baggage to go around! Whenever he’s consumed by sorrow, he seeks your comfort. When he isn’t by your side, a genuine smile does not dare overtake his features. It’s insane!
⠀⠀Zeno is also manipulative, unintentionally. He’d never want to make you uncomfortable, heavens no! Puppy dog eyes are quick to make you falter, weighing you with ineffable amounts of guilt for telling him off. Catering to a man thousands of years old must be exhausting, especially if you are unable to convey your displeasure. In this life, escaping Zeno will never be an option. If you do, guilt will forever be eating away at your sanity.
KI-JA
Tumblr media
Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
⠀⠀He's not the worst. But if you enjoy people extending themselves to please you, then perhaps he's the best. Ki-Ja is so terribly shy so anything physical is rather difficult for him to approach. His usually pale skin would practically erupt like a volcano, accompanied by a soft mist emitting from his skin. Even as your lover, he's still unable to approach you. (Non-akwardly)
⠀⠀Even Ki-Ja knows his boundaries. He's delusional, not stupid. He can grow quite hysterical at times, admittedly so, however there is a line he is not willing to cross. That being said, he'll likely start competing amongst his peers in order to win your attention over. It's unnecessarily, honestly, but once his mind is set, there's no stopping him.
Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
⠀⠀It’s a long and painful process to witness. Ki-Ja feels like a blundering fool the way he stammers in your presence, it's like every ounce of composure and elegance he’s tried so diligently to keep up, has slipped from his grasp like water. It’s just that…you make his heart beat so wildly he can hardly control himself. In all honesty, he's a virgin to feelings like these so cut him some slack (no, don't).
⠀⠀Ki-Ja is quite literally tripping over himself when he finally approaches/confesses to you. The loud thumping that reached his ears whenever you’re in his presence makes him come undone. The softness of your voice turns him to mush. Oh how badly he wishes to kiss those lips, practically begging for his touch. Whoops, he said that out loud!
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
⠀⠀Again, it depends on your definition of a “classic yandere”. His loyalty is undeniable. He wishes to serve you and you alone. Much like Zeno, Ki-Ja would never actively try to make you uncomfortable. But it seems it’s inevitable with his unhealthy way of loving you (hovering over you.) Yes, he's extremely protective of you, but it can't be that bad right?
⠀⠀Not to mention, he's a sucker for praise, he can't get enough of it. Everything he does is to please you. He gets so flustered by the thought of your praise, it's nearly laughable. He's honest, I'll give him that. But it seems like the sweet, harmless man you cared for is not what he seems. But the lengths he'll go to please you are truly outrageous. Oh, you want to know how far he'll go? I'll leave that up to your imagination.

ok i’m gonna do it. it’s just. i’m going to try and articulate this the best i can without rambling. (edit - yeah this is way longer than i meant it to be.) unbelievably long and jumbled j*rmen/baby thoughts incoming:
i’ll start off by saying this: maybe i’m dumb but i feel like any development of a genuine romantic relationship between johnny/carmen has been done off-camera and we have no indication they’ve even done that. there is like, below zero amounts of relational development whatsoever and then suddenly she’s pregnant and he buys her a ring (where did he get it?? with what money???). i literally didn’t even notice the ring until i saw some gifs of the lawrusso moment. to me that’s a…huge deal? johnny’s never been married before, he never married shannon, he’s never had a traditional family like that…it doesn’t seem like him to just go out and buy a ring because he found out his gf of approximately 2 weeks is pregnant??? like damn these are like Big Life Decisions and you’d think we’d get more screen time on it rather than “oh this is happening now.” like you think we’d actually see him propose and tell his thought process out loud when he does it if they wanted it to actually be a plot line or show any type of genuine character development on johnny’s part. it just seems so random to me, so out of touch, and OOC and just forced.
also i can’t stand the way they had johnny “accidentally” ~spill the beans~ about the b*by to miguel and robby right after they beat the shit out of each other and were having their own moment, and now this is being dumped on them like? it is SO unrealistic that they’re both immediately happy like it’s just WEIRD? and it doesn’t even sound natural coming out of johnny’s mouth. he would never actually say that lmao. he’s dumb but he’s smarter than that? (i could write another essay on that). johnny’s face when they hug him and just his overall demeanor in that moment is so awkward and he genuinely is so weird about it. there’s no excitement, no joy, just??? weirdness??? isn’t that ‘supposed’ to be a happy moment??? coupled with the way he acts about it when the adults find out, and the way he tells shannon about carmen’s dream (not the fact that he tells her, the literal way that he tells her)…it’s just so insanely obvious.
another thing: there is a LOT of growing for johnny to do that can be done without having a newborn at this point in his life? it’s just such a stretch and so outrageous and yes i have a very strong opinion on this because it just doesn’t sit right with me at all for some reason. especially for robby’s sake. like in all seriousness an adult may be able to compartmentalize or like work through this, but robby has yet to work through the trauma he already has and yet i’m supposed to believe he’s gonna be chill watching his previously-absent father play super dad to this newborn? after he already has to watch him play super dad to miguel right in front of him (and continuously choose miguel over him?????) ????????? and is literally being forced to be okay with it and happy about it and get along with miguel???? like it’d be great if he and miguel could be friends because i do think they’d make great friends and get along, but that doesn’t mean robby has to like… feel good about the situation? just the whole thing is so wrong lmao.
also, why does carmen seem so happy and excited?? i could go on about it honestly, it’s so impractical and makes no sense and she is a very cautious and practical person every other moment of the show? but with this she’s just like “yay newborn with this 50 year old guy i met like a year or less ago, why the fuck isn’t he over the moon about this???????” also we’ve got no indication that she actually knows anything about him or his life or that there is any relationship outside of hooking up????? johnny actually confirms this when they tell miguel about their ‘relationship.’ he literally says they’re ‘hooking up’ and then carmen kinda gives him a look and he can’t even say it, MIGUEL has to say it and he’s like ‘uh yeah’ and literally looks like he’s going to throw up. the fact that carmen wasn’t like….upset about that is so strange because he never once alludes to wanting a relationship and she’s the one that’s pushing this like secular family weirdness, so for him to just be like ‘yeah we’re hookin’ up’ and not being able to even CHOKE out that they’re dating is so weird. it’s really, really weird considering we’re apparently supposed to believe that he’s now apparently ready to be married to her?? nothing is exactly wrong with either of them as people, but i just know for a fact they both want different things and are forcing themselves into boxes for each other.
the audacity of carmen to get upset at his trepidation about this is really irritating to me considering she clearly has no idea what’s gone on in his life, or maybe she doesn’t really care?? maybe she just wants to create this happy family bullshit????? idk before s5 i truly loved carmen so the way they’ve had her acting about this whole thing just doesn’t sit right with me and seems very OOC. also i don’t think real life johnny lawrence would be as calm as he was about it and like, not losing his shit at this point in his life. she’s actually lucky he didn’t freak the fuck out?? considering everything i think he was actually pretty damn supportive and cool about it. he literally could have actually lost his mind? all he did was look at the dad with the screaming baby in a carrier and look a little anxious about it? he’s not allowed to be……worried? nervous? intimidated? be so fucking for real right now.
AND ANOTHER MF THING. johnny literally made the same exact mistake in his mid-30s with shannon that he’s making in his mid-50s with carmen. he’s a grown-ass man and at this point knows how “protection” works etc, spent his whole life hooking up with girls and NOT getting them pregnant, like they make him look so damn stupid all the time and FOR WHAT? like i’ve said multiple times, yeah he’s a little ha-ha-dumb but he’s not actually genuinely stupid. they write him that way when it “benefits” their storyline, and literally change his character when it benefits other areas. it’s so inconsistent and frustrating. in what way, shape, or form is having him just repeat past mistakes (just on camera now) going to further his development as a person. if he didn’t know before he certainly knew after knocking up his girlfriend and having robby. like do you think he thinks that just….doesn’t happen?? carmen saying “these things happen johnny,” talking down to him like he’s a 12 year old, when yeah no shit he literally has a kid from the EXACT same fucking thing!!!!!!!!!!????????? likeeee uggghghghghhghhg PLEAAAAASE be so serious rn. they aren’t even really in a proper relationship!!! she knows nothing about him!!! nor has she ever seemed to care very much!!!!!!!! he literally told miguel they were “hooking up” and could NOT make himself say anything else!!!!!! because they AREN’T!!!!!!!!!!!! is the character development supposed to be him sticking around this time? even if the white-picket-fence life she’s pushing makes him miserable?? it’s clear that johnny cares about her like i’m not trying to say that he doesn’t, i think carmen just pities him and thinks she can “save” him by giving him a “real” life?? does that make sense??? like i just. idk idk idk.
i could scream about all of this for days but ANYWAYS tl;dr: johnny and carmen want very different things in life and have no romantic relationship established outside of hooking up and the whole thing is extremely weird

Love in the Big City, part 1
Love in the Big City, part 1
Well, I started out trying to answer @bengiyo’s discussion questions, and my answer to the first one got so long that it’s its own post. I may follow up with others or I may not, but here’s what I have so far. If I was going to answer just one of the questions, this would have been it, so I feel OK about this post.
The relationship between Jaehee and our narrator grounds most of the narrative. What aspects of their relationship stuck out to you the most?
The things that stuck out to me the most were the interplay of honesty and acceptance in their relationship and the sometimes indirect ways that they showed how much they cared for one another (until they didn't). Both of these highlight how the unconventional nature of their relationship was intrinsically related to how well it met their needs–at least, during the period of time where it was working for both of them. 
I find it so interesting that the reason the narrator becomes friends with Jaehee is that she happens upon him kissing a man in the street and is cool about it. He didn’t choose to disclose anything to her, but once she knew this private thing about him, she had an opportunity to show that she was trustworthy, and she did. And then she opened up to him in a corresponding way about her sex life. 
Both characters are not only flouting more general societal norms about sexual behavior but also breaking gender norms more specifically. As a man, the narrator isn’t supposed to have sex with men. As a woman, Jaehee is supposed to have sex with men, but she isn’t supposed to have sex with as many as she does. Does Jaehee realize, once she knows that the narrator is breaking these types of rules, that this means that it’s probably safe for her to let him know that she’s breaking them too? It’s possible. 
Whether they knew it from the start or not, it turns out that they‘re able to be themselves with each other without fear of judgment. In fact, it goes further than that. They’re truly accepted in a way that makes a profound kind of support possible. Their flouting of normative standards puts them in danger of becoming isolated, ostracized. Which makes it even more important that they have this sort of unspoken pledge to be there for each other. They can be themselves in part because they know that if worst comes to worst, they’ll at least have each other. 
I think it helps that each of them knows that the other person is vulnerable in much the same way they are. I’ve never been in a relationship quite like theirs. You know that joke people make sometimes about being a “non-practicing slut”? In other words, they're referring to the idea of being pro-slut but not actually engaging in slutty behavior themselves. That’s how I’ve always been. At times in my past I attempted to put sluttiness into practice but I never quite pulled it off (unless the standard I was judged by was pretty puritanical). It’s easy to end up being accidentally monogamous, especially if you’re on the shy side like I am. People I tried to have casual relationships with always seemed to end up wanting to get serious, whether I did or not. So I never did anything that would court societal disapproval that intensely, even if I might have liked to.
I’ve had quite a few friends over the years who were more on the practicing side. I sincerely didn’t have any judgment toward those friends. Sometimes I admired their self-assurance or boldness. Sometimes I was a bit jealous of the fun they were having, in a good-natured way. But I truly didn’t think badly of them. But no matter how sincere I was about not judging them, I don’t think it would ever have been possible for those friends to feel quite as relaxed about their sex lives with me as they could with someone who had just as much on the line as they did in terms of potential disapproval. The narrator and Jaehee have a pretty equal amount on the line in this way, and I think it helps them let their guards down. 
And then Jaehee starts to change. It’s hard to tell whether she’s still being herself and that self just shifted or she’s making a choice to compromise who she is. Well, it seems like it has to be at least a little bit of both. And that makes sense. These things usually aren’t that clear cut in real life. Even just by wanting to try to have a steady monogamous relationship, Jaehee is already showing she has changed inwardly, and she clearly is changing some things outwardly to please her boyfriend that haven’t changed inwardly (at least, not yet). Whatever the reason for her stepping back from her previous habits, this shift means that the narrator is no longer irreplaceable for her. At the same time, she’s already investing more in her relationship with her boyfriend. 
There’s always a chance that friendships will change or even end when one party changes a lot on an individual level, as Jaehee does. But there’s more to this shift than just Jaehee having a different perspective or different priorities. She doesn’t have the same stake in her relationship with the narrator once she starts to adhere more to societal rules. She doesn’t need him as badly, because she has more options for sources of support now that she isn’t flouting societal rules. 
I think it’s also interesting that after they’ve drifted apart, the narrator finds out that Jaehee has (seemingly) been hiding the fact that her socioeconomic status is a lot higher than that of her middle-class peers. It’s one more thing that contradicts the narrator’s assumption that they were always–and would always be–honest with each other.
I'm curious to see where he goes from here. Will he look for someone who can fill a similar role in his life to Jaehee? Grow cynical and assume that any close friend will leave him, so that he doesn't bond with anyone? Something else? Will he ever end up being monogamous for an extended period like Jaehee? I'm sure if he did it would be different--the inevitable gender of his partner ensures that he still won't be viewed as acceptable by many people. But I still wonder if he will.

I just watched Total Forgiveness and I have a thought...
Ok, so I know this show is messy as hell and is 4 years old so I'm sure all the opinions there are to have have already been said. There's a lot to be said about this show, but the one specific thing I personally want to say about this show is this is why planning ahead, anticipating situations that may arise, and coming up with specific rules for all of them is super important for any sort of game, especially if lots of money is on the line!
Like, do I think Ally should have been able to tell when they were going too far and choose not to out of both friendship to Grant and just common decency? Yes, absolutely I do. Just because something is neither dangerous nor illegal doesn't mean it's a thing you should ask another human to do, even if it could be funny. I furthermore think that other people working on the show could have stepped in and just given a quick "hey, man, too far" and that may have solved lots of things.
But the absolute #1 thing in my opinion that would have made this show less of a nightmare was just doing some basic thinking about what sort of dares should even be allowed. Cause while Ally's dares were generally more mean-spirited and humiliating than the ones Grant thought up (not to mention the flea market one, which was in a class of it's own in terms of lasting ramifications for Grant), I think an equally big problem was that they came up with dares where the outcomes were not actually 100% in Grant's control - Lock-In and Flea Market were both challenges where Grant's ability to finish the dare was ultimately up to other people, and Bell and Performance Art both required him to be able to make his body do something at will with an audience present, something that frankly isn't necessarily possibly through sheer force of will.
Grant, on the other hand, never gave Ally a single task where the completion of it relied on other people. He did give them several dares where the main difficulty was overcoming a mental barrier (Coffin, Snake, Tattoo), but with those, winning basically meant not panicking while something scary happened, whereas in Performance Art and Bell, Grant had to both overcome the automatic mental response ('don't poop,' and 'nothing about this is sexy' respectively) and also try to force his body to do something that is typically a more-or-less automatic function.
And yeah, Grant gives Ally a lot of leeway because they were just playing the game more ruthlessly than he was, and it was all fair within the structure of the game, but I'd argue that they should have had a rule from the get go saying all dares had to be something you were sure the other person could complete. There's definitely some gray area there - for instance, I think for instance I'd argue Performance Art is fair game under that rule but Bell isn't, but I know that's a super weird and subjective distinction (and I don't have a penis so I'm not an expert). I think based on the nature of the game, you have to sort of gloss over things like pain tolerance and mental distress as legitimate reasons to argue something is not necessarily completable or the game sort of falls apart. In those cases, I think it sort of needs to be up to the players' and the producers' common sense and decency to stop them from going too far. But the fact that Grant could try his best and that doesn't necessarily mean he's able to get a spontaneous erection, keep 6 people in a tiny apartment against their will for two days, or make $1000 at a flea market to me clearly means those challenges just shouldn't have been allowed.
Anyway, I think this show does a plenty good enough job highlighting the issue of student debt by showing the amount of humiliation, physical pain, and emotional distress people are willing to endure to alleviate just some of that debt - adding onto that that sometimes the things they're asked to aren't even necessarily possible, while accurate to the real world, sort of ruins the game.

Ok, so, in Shining Nikki (the past) the blood curse has yet to exist yet (and which I'm assuming is a product of the Shining Nikki plot line since one of the characters does consider finding a solution to all the violence and war happening).
Yes. there is war in Shining Nikki. Explicitly stated by the characters as one of nikki's friends Loen, who is a former soldier of the Apple Federation of Independence war.
And there is another war about to break out since the Mercury Group is a slightly terroristic group (just mind controlling people with the power of Designer's Reflection and blowing up trains to get their hands on Leonid's manuscript, yknow, the usual bad guy group stuff.)
Delmond on the other hand is pre-Shining Nikki plot line by a few years (give or take) and it's a fallen kingdom (hey just like Khaenri'ah) that has sunk to the bottom of the ocean. (Think of it as Miraland's Atlantis.) They were in poverty but then were suddenly rich because a girl had the power to cry gems but the people of Delmond's greed got to them and what could be considered an act by the god they worshipped, they were taken out by a tsunami.
And for clarification on random things;
1. Leonid had written the manuscript because he watched the stars and saw that Miraland's destruction was inevitable but Nikki is determined to prove him wrong (which leads to another thing where poor Nikki is stuck in a bit of a time loop trying again and again to save Miraland but that's whatever.)
2. The Ark is a separate entity. A comparison would be Celestia in Genshin. It's a physical place, but only certain people can enter and majority of the time can't leave. So Aeon and Marina being able to leave the Ark is really cool.
3. Designer's Reflections are what they sound like, they're the reflection of the designer at the time of creating a new design/outfit. It's basically made of Styling Power and holds the memories of the designer's thoughts and feelings at the time of the suit's creation. (Aka, oh you made a new suit while in a war? ok cool, your reflection's memories is you in war.)
4. Those who are powerful enough to use Designer's Reflections may be able to control other people's actions or at least exert some amount of power over them. (eg; make a person fall asleep or force a person to attack another.)
- Blood curse anon (who really likes video game lore)
…………..what kinda dress up games are they feeding to kids these days-?
an why is a time loop just “whatever”???
how can a group be “slightly terroristic” im—

nr 6 for ateez 😝
<<333
6. What song I love my bias the most in.
I'm gonna do all biases because nobody can stop me and I'll start with San because among the three I have the least amount of thoughts for him ksdfjskfjas (sorry... also this is under the cut because..... you'll see kasdjflkdöas)
ok first of all... mist. his voice sounds so soft in the entire song and he's singing this so well??? also in arriba his short line right before the last chorus sounds SOOO good, i really love his voice when he sings with that energy!!! another song that just has to be mentioned here is turbulence, he's so dramatic in the second chorus but i think that's what made me notice his voice especially in this song!! also inception, because of the vocals, but also because of his choreo in the chorus!!!!! (to mention choreo once in the entire post lol)
I'm semi-normal about wooyoung's parts, so I'll do him next aksdjfklsa and i just want to say celebrate. like????? the very first time i heard that song my immediate reaction to his parts was that they need to let him sing like that more often!!!! he sounds SO GOOD there????? and when he gets the right lines you can actually hear that this guy has a lot of power in his voice (idk, i tend to notice this especially in songs where the first time a line appears they give it to jongho and then the second time wooyoung sings it, like the comparison just makes it so clear how much energy woo has in his voice when used right!!) idk i've been dying to say this somewhere and i WILL say it again so!!!!!!! (alsoalso to mention choreo a second time - the lil butt shake in crazy form, like that's so him and so cute and he looks so happy doing it too 🥺)
now for jongho.... the answer is every song ever but i'll try to single some out (brace yourselves because i will not shut up anytime soon) askdfjklas and i'm gonna start with silver light because i'm listening to it right now and like... his adlibs in the end plsssssssss i love them so much!!! and OF COURSE i also have to mention this world because omgggggg he sounds so good in the chorus hhhhh (in general i am absolutely IN LOVE with how they use their voices throughout that album, and his especially - part of why it's my fav album of theirs!!) ok but the song that actually came to mind first for him is also celebrate, because have you heard his adlibs at the end? have you HEARD them????????? this guy is actually insane. i also wanna mention don't stop because he barely gets lines on the lower end and... yeah, ouch aksdljfksjadlk i also feel the need to mention cyberpunk here... but i'm thinking of that one stage they did on music bank especially, because this guy sounds even better live and everytime he does that one high note i ascend to whatever heavens there may or may not be aksdjfklsad and before i shut up i'm gonna remind you all that he was on lee mujin service (i am begging you to watch it if you haven't yet) and i cannot put into words how much i love his cover of don't go today, i'm really not a ballad type of person but holy shit... yeah.. just watch it.... (idk i just get so happy listening to him sing and Do His Thing and go a lil insane with it because he's just THAT good and knowing that he's put so many years of work and practice into building that skill is really admirable to me and also kinda motivates me to work hard on the things i enjoy too so :/ ilovehimokbye)
(also the much needed honorable mention: yeosang in halazia. he's not a bias but used to be so it counts aksdjflksa no but seriously if kq doesn't let him have more lines that are actually in his range i will throw hands.)
send me a number and a group~

You guys want to hear my heavily Adhd fuelled bat shit crazy theory on what might have happened to God or how we might start to find them? Because it's a whole ass journey and I'm in the car now so might as well just see where the road takes me you know.
just bear with me OK.
A close friend of mine finally finished season 2 and we were theorizing. And while talking about all the very many things that were left open ended, she brings up Gabriel's prophecy. And I realize that shit Neil Gaiman you sly fox you had me actually forget that there was an entire prophecy!
So I start thinking of all the ways that someone could have actually made me, a person that loves spending an inexcusable amount of time dissecting anything that is even remotely prophetic, forget that it even happened. And I think, it was may be because the first and last (third) moments of real memory that Gabriel had are addressed and seemingly resolved soon after. So the second one, the middle child if you will, is kinda forgotten. So, after google searches trying to see if there are any theories out there about Gabriel's prophecy (because I haven't come across any on tumblr?? if there are theories out there please send them my way!) I decide to take matters into my own hands and go back into the episode. Then I noticed something and then something else and now I've rewatched all three moments several times and I was writing a post here comparing them when monkey brain started to make wilder connections and now here we are and I just need to get it out.
First Memory:
Gabriel 'quotes' God. Soon after Gabriel says those words Crowley says hey wasn't that what God said to Job and then we jump into the Job memory where we hear God say those words, albeit slightly different. God poses the sentence as a question, while Gabriel says it in the first person.
Things to note about this memory :
Gabriel's Purple eyes return.
You hear God's voice overlay-ed over Gabriel's
Not do you remember the morning stars..?, I remember the....
Gabriel is in a lot of pain, remembering hurts his brain.
He says "I can't remember those things, my head isn't big enough, not anymore".
The memory comes after he is pushed by Crowley to remember. This little point is not entirely relevant more just me continuing to die on the Crowley is Lucifer hill: I think it's significant that it was this particular line that was quoted and it was triggered right after Crowley asked "what is the very first thing you remember" and not when Aziraphale asked Gabriel the exact same question. and the line happened to have the phrase 'morning stars'.
Second "Memory":
Not a memory but a prophecy with a little drop of memory at the end.
"There will come a tempest. and darkness and great storms. and the dead will leave their graves and walk the earth once more. And there will be great lamentations. Everyday it's getting closer."
I don't know a lot of biblical lore but some of the word choices used are very significant and directly refers to moments of judgement and reckoning and the second coming. Tempest and great storms is maybe referencing Noah; the dead will leave their graves - the second coming? and then great lamentations - from the book of lamentations, ie destruction of Jerusalem - also a judgement day type situation right? Dissecting this prophecy was the entire reason I started on this but I've gone off-track now. If anyone does have more detailed theories on this though I am so interested!
[very sneaky to end the prophecy with everyday it's getting closer - a drop of something Gabriel - because that could be referencing just the second coming getting closer AND also be a little something that will help us slightly dismiss it. Because it puts the audience back in the mindset of the song and hey the song get's addressed right - what was the other stuff Gabriel was saying, eh it's probably not important]
Things to note about this moment:
Purple eyes
God's voice overlay
This is the only time Gabriel goes into this zone pre getting his memories back where he is not pushed into remembering. Crowley simply says the word 'tempest' and it triggers purple eyed god voiced Gabriel.
Gabriel is not in pain. He does not say it hurts to remember.
He also doesn't seem to know what happened : When he comes out of it, he seems to switch back into his body almost but not quite. He shakes his head a little and looks somewhat confused both by his surroundings and by Crowley standing in front of and staring. And in that same state of confusion he asks "who am I? What's happened to me?". And in theme of this season immediately after he says that, something flashy and distracting happens, this time in the form of Shax knocking on the window. And very suspiciously, in my opinion, the camera never shifts back to Gabriel again. We go from Shax at window to Crowley's reaction to Shax and then camera stays on Crowley and follows him out the door. We only see Gabriel again once Crowley returns to the bookshop. And Gabriel is back to testing Gravity.
Third Memory
This one is less 'violent'? in terms of Gabriel remembering. And everything Gabriel says is addressed in the next episode. He says his memory is in a matchbox, no he took it out and put it in a box and now it's... everywhere. He remembers the institutional problem bit. All these things come back and happen as he says and so again, the middle child is neglected.
But let's look at some things to note:
No purple eyes this time or God voice overlay
Continued references to it being painful to remember
He is like an empty house, something that once contained something
He is, essentially in this case, asked the right question by Crowley, a question direct enough that he can give a straight answer.
But the only thing that doesn't quite make sense is that when Crowley asks where are your memories now? Gabriel says 'Everywhere'. Which strikes me as a really odd thing to say about a fly. Even if it is the only thing that's not bound by gravity.
So what is my extremely taken liberties and am I high??? theory you ask?
It was not Gabriel that responded to Crowley - It was God or some part of them that is somehow contained within Gabriel (without his knowledge).
I did warn you this was insane.
It was not Do you remember the morning stars, but I remember the morning stars. And you hear their voice saying it. It strikes me as extremely odd that Gabriel would describe a memory that is supposedly his, that is supposedly his first memory using God's words. He even refers back to it during the conversation he has with Crowley in the third memory (where he remembers putting his memories in a matchbox). He says "like when I remembered how it all began" - but why would he have used that exact phrasing when he wasn't there to hear what God said to Job? Only Crowley and Aziraphale were there.
The prophecy moment was completely weird and Gabriel was not even Jim in that moment. By this point Gabriel was very decidedly inhabiting the roll of Jim - book shop assistant who is sometimes called Gabriel. And by this point he is also somewhat aware or had accepted that he was once this person called Gabriel. So why does he look so lost in that moment - like he wasn't Jim or Gabriel? Who am I? What has happened to me? Could it be someone else also inhabiting the body of Jim, sometimes called Gabriel???
He says an "empty house", a house can contain things, many things. We know that living things can be containers. If a fly can contain something as expansive and large as the memory of a supreme archangel and still be a fly; why wouldn't a supreme archangel be able to also hold the memory of God? or at least some of the memories of God? "my head isn't big enough, not anymore". That is such an odd thing to say. Because it didn't make sense I kept rationalizing it for some reason as Gabriel being human now so his head isn't big enough to contain or recall the memories of an angel. But that's ridiculous and completely wrong, obviously. He's still an angel, he just doesn't have his memory. So if his head (his house) is now empty, they how could it be too small to remember things?
Unless there was something else taking up space?
Where is your memory now? Everywhere. I know this this scene had no God voice, but 'my head is too big', and 'who am I, what's happened to me' all are said by Jim!Gabriel. Normal eyed. Everywhere is just again a thing that doesn't quite make sense in context. But what if that was again not in reference to the fly, but rather in reference to God. That their memory was... everywhere? Scattered for some reason or the other throughout the earth, in different beings, in angels or humans or flies even.
If God or a portion of God's memory is in Gabriel then Gabriel not being present in his own head would allow another's memory space to, I don't know... answer questions?
It's honestly probably doesn't make any sense but hey what a concept right lol if you made it all the way here thank you!
Also just a random little note, I thought it was just interesting that it was Crowley that was involved with any real leads on Gabriel's memory. Not just finding the files and figuring out he wrote a note on the box - but every time Gabriel had any real burts of memory or gave any real answers it was when Crowley asked and not when Aziraphale asked. I don't know if it was just pure coincidence but I just thought it was something of note!
k byyyyyeeeeeee
