it's exhausting being the one who's always behind.

i have a million anime on my want to watch list but barely any time or motivation to get to them. sometimes i'll find something that JUST came out and think it looks cool, but by the time i can get to it everyone else has already seen it, loved it, created for it, and moved on. then it just looks like i'm following old trends.

i'm in the middle of a few anime that everyone has already moved on from. even if i finish them, who will care if i write for them?

"hey, have you seen (fandom)?"

"hey, this series is pretty great! it's 100+ episodes, you should check it out!"

"the new episode of (fandom) came out two hours ago, have you seen it yet?"

it's exhausting. sometimes i genuinely wonder why i bother.

then there's fandoms like big windup, which only i seem to love, and i've gotten to a point where i don't even feel motivated to create for it anymore bc what's the point? no one wants to read that. they want bsd and mha and the popular things.

most of the time i can brush it off. i write what i want, and if people enjoy it, it's a bonus. but it's exhausting being so far behind everyone else all the time, every day, for years and years and years. it's times like this that my motivation just plummets.

why bother? why come up with anything? everyone's already been there, done that, moved on. i'm late to the party. it's over already. it's not popular anymore.

exhausted.

Inked (Big Windup)

Heyo! Guess who's back with Big Windup Content! :D I had this little ol' thing sitting in my WIP for weeks before realizing I should finish it up and post it lols, and here I am to do so! I hope y'all like it! :D

CW: Swearing

Cloud 9 (Taglist Peeps):

@cupcake-spice13 @intheticklecloset (I know you're not on the Taglist but BAM! Baseball tickles >:D)

Summary: Tajima after writing a massive "1" on Mihashi's back decides he should do it for Abe too. The other disagrees, leading to a rather giggly compromise.

“Hold still! Lemme write it!”

“No way! I told you I don’t need it!”

Tajima was back at it again, a black marker in hand as he tried once more to mark Abe. He figured the clean up hitter had let it go after a while, but nope- he was ever insistent on drawing a massive number “2” on his back!

“Why are you resisting so much? It’ll make Mihashi feel good!” Tajima was halfway to his target, eyes dancing as he flinched each way Abe tried to escape. “Don’t you want to be in a team with him?”

“I’m already in a team with him- I don’t need a number to prove it!” An opening had appeared! Abe made a dash for it-

“GOTCHA!” Tajima cried, leaping at him and sending them both flailing into the field. “Now hold still!”

“Tajima, I already told you, I don’t need a number!”

“Come on- think of Mihashi!”

“It’ll never come out!”

“It's an erasable marker! It’s good for clothes!”

“Tajima!”

“Oh okay- if you’re really against it.” Abe heard the marker being recapped, a small sigh of relief escaping his lips.

“Can I at least draw a “2” on you with my finger then? No ink, I promise.” Tajima asked, a clear puppy eyed pout in his voice. Abe closed his eyes as he pressed his face into the field.

“Give me the marker.” It appeared before him. Alongside a second one. Abe turned a bit to raise a brow.

“You always need a backup.” Tajima shrugged with a sheepish laugh. The catcher rolled his eyes before flopping forward again.

“Fine. But JUST with your finger. My mom will be pissed if I come home with sharpie ink all over my uniform.”

“I told you, it was erasable! I only use a sharpie for Mihashi.” Tajima giggled as he got comfortable, sitting up and positioning his finger. “Ready?”

“Sure-” Abe got out before immediately wincing, startled by the tingling sensation of Tajima’s finger running down his spine. “Mm! T-Tajima, lighten up!”

“Does it hurt?” The cleanup hitter asked, doing so. To Abe’s dismay, it only made it worse.

“N-No it ti-ihihihiihckles!” The catcher yelped before dissolving into laughter, fists curling against the grassy field as he kicked out a leg, trying his best not to throw the other off. Maybe all that time spent with Mihashi made him more accepting to tickles? “Tahahajima, huuhuhurry uhuhuhup!”

“No way..” Tajima gaped down at him with wide eyes. Then he grinned. “Did I just discover a new tickle spot on the Abe Takaya? How lucky am I?”

“Doohohohn’t say my nahahame like thahahhat! Gehahaha, if yohoohu’re dohohone, get ohoh-EEHEHEH!” The catcher arched even more when Tajima switched from tracing to scratching, dancing one finger up and down the invisible “2” he drew on his friend’s back. “Doohohohn’t doohohohoho thahahhahat, yohohoohu ahahhahhahass!”

“What? I gotta fill it in! Can’t go around having a outline- no one will be able to distinguish it from a number or a pe-”

“Iihihihihihit’s nohohohohohot ehehehehheven viihihihihihisblehhehehe! Whahahhat doohohohoes it mahahahhatter if ihihihihit’s fiihihihilled in? Nohoohoh ohohohone’s gohoohhohonna knoohohohow!”

“I will! And I’ll always be haunted by my unfinished work! Be still- my canvas; the artist is at work!” Tajima doubled his scratching, increasing Abe’s giggle fits and yelps of laughter tenfold. “Now that the actual number is done, let’s add some color!”

“TAHAHHAJIIHIHMA!” The catcher all but shrieked when his ribs were suddenly grabbed, fingers pressing in at both sides. “WHAHAHAT HAHAHPPEHEHED TO THE NUUHUHUMBER?”

“Relax, I’m getting my pens! They’re somewhere in here…” Tajima continued to “search” for his pens within Abe’s ribcage, narrowing in on the terrible spots along his upper and lower sets just to keep him laughing. “Man, I really need to organize this space better. They’re all over the place in there! Abe, you gotta stop moving so much; the pens keep rolling away!”

“STHAHAHP FUHUUHUCKING TIIHIHIHCKLING MEHEHEH THEHEHEHEHEN!” Abe cried, thrashing like a fish out of water as his worst spots were drilled into. Above him, Tajima giggled like a child, delighted.

“Oo, you’re saying bad words! Bad Abe! Hehehe!” Finally, Tajima pulled his hands back, returning to his spine as he finished putting the last few touches onto his “design”. The tickles died down to a comforting amount, leaving Abe coughing through giggles as he caught his breath. “There we go..and done!”

The catcher let out a huff of air as Tajima climbed off, far too tired to get up and chase him. Around him chatter continued, the boys laughing over the sight or carrying on with whatever conversation they were having prior. Footsteps shuffled into view soon, coming to stand before him.

“A-Abe..I erm, brought you this..”

Something cold and paperlike touched his hand. Abe all but shot up at the water, taking and downing it in one greedy gulp. “You’re a lifesaver, Mihashi.”

The pitcher squeaked with shy pride, cheeks warming as he smiled at his hands. “I’m glad…and erm- I’m sorry about Tajima..I didn’t think he’d try to erm, you know…”

Ah. Abe resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he looked at the markers left abandoned in the grass.

If ONE uniform was kinda stained, maybe his mom wouldn’t be too mad…

“Go get Tajima.” He sighed in resignation, making Mihashi squeak in surprise. “Tell him to use an erasable one, cause if we can’t get it out, I’m kicking his ass.”

“Oh..Oh! Oh, erm- okay!” The pitcher nodded, practically vibrating with joy as he ran to get said clean up hitter. Shaking his head, Abe fell back onto his stomach in the warm grass, accepting his fate.

If it made Mihashi do his best, then let him be inked.

Thanks for reading!

Hi! I had a question about your commissions but if you aren't comfortable answering you definitely don't have to. I was wondering if you'd recommend opening commissions to other writers on Tumblr. I'm currently struggling a bit with finances and would love to be able to write as another small source of income but I don't know much about how any of it works.

This is kind of a difficult question. In my experience comm reqs are few and far between and almost not even worth it monetarily, really. I'm also struggling financially and would LOVE to write on the side for extra income, but I've gotten one commission in the last year, so...it hasn't really worked out. (But I get it. I feel like we're all struggling, plus I know some of my followers are minors.)

As for whether I'd recommend it, I'd say it never hurts to try. Worst that can happen is you stay exactly where you're at now, right? KoFi is a good and fairly popular platform to get started if you wanted to, and if you post anything regularly here or on AO3 or somewhere you'll be more likely to get the attention necessary to be paid for your work.

If you decide to go for it, I wish you the best of luck!

#nym speaks #honestly would be interested to know why comm reqs aren't as common nowadays #at least for my work lol #probably bc everything's so damn expensive that just trying to LIVE is nigh impossible #but i never wanna just come out and ask it so i feel like now's my only opportunity to say something #anyway i do genuinely wish any and all folks wanting to open comms the best of luck <3

Pushy (My Hero Academia)

One Shot

Summary: As Deku and Todoroki grow closer in the early days of their relationship, they learn things about each other they find rather adorable.

A/N: It's been a while since I posted an MHA fic, and since I had this one waiting patiently for its turn in the spotlight, I decided now is the time! Enjoy! ^^

Word Count: 901

~~~

Something that Todoroki didn’t know about Midoriya until after they started dating was that the greenette loved play wrestling.

The first time it happened was on a Saturday afternoon when they were at Deku’s mom’s apartment while she was at work. They had lunch and then sat to binge a new anime they gotten into together, and the next thing Todoroki knew, Deku was pushing at him playfully. Todoroki, of course, being new to dating and not wishing to disappoint, did the same. From there it evolved into full-on wrestling, their anime long forgotten.

Todoroki wasn’t sure why his urge to win was so strong; under any other circumstances he’d likely have given up well before things got out of hand, not wishing to spend the energy on it. But with Deku, things were different. His competitive side rose up like never before, and his wrestling was genuine.

Thanks to Deku’s quirk, though, the greenette eventually gained the upper hand, flopping Todoroki onto his back and pinning his wrists down, counting to three quickly so he could win their spontaneous game.

“Gotcha!” Midoriya giggled, his freckled face beaming down at his boyfriend, swinging a leg over to straddle him before letting his wrists go. “Hmm…what should my prize be?” He faux contemplated before leaning down to kiss him, running a thumb along Todoroki’s cheek.

Todoroki also learned something about himself that day. Not that he planned to admit it to anyone.

~

A couple of weeks later, back at the dorms, Todoroki was reaching into the fridge to get a water bottle after having trained most of the morning. But before he could open the door all the way, a hand grabbed him from behind and whipped him around, pushing him against the fridge.

Todoroki barely had time to register that it was Deku before his partner reached up to grab his face and pull him down for a kiss. Though Midoriya had gone through a growth spurt recently so there was no longer too much of a height difference between them, the peppermint boy still felt his heart racing as he allowed himself to stoop down to match him, hugging him closer, ignoring the sharp poke of a magnet digging into his back.

Who needed water when Deku’s kisses were available, anyway?

~

The next night, Todoroki was lounging in his dorm room watching an anime based on one of his favorite manga series when his boyfriend knocked, then entered when beckoned. He expected Deku to sit beside him and cuddle up to his warm half like he usually did.

Instead, Deku moved right in front of the TV and sat in Todoroki’s lap facing him, smirking mischievously.

“Hey,” he said.

“Hey,” Todoroki replied. He absentmindedly ran his hands along Deku’s thighs, totally unbothered by the interruption. “Did you come to cuddle?”

Deku shrugged. “Eventually. But first I want to ask you something.” The greenette leaned in so their noses were touching. “Do you like it when I get a little pushy with you?”

Todoroki didn’t even know how he was supposed to respond to that, other than let out a little gasp. “I…I, um…what?”

Midoriya gently took Todoroki’s wrists away from his thighs, then tightened his hold and shoved them behind his head against the back of his seat.

Todoroki’s eyes went wide.

Deku grinned. “You light up when I do things like this. Remember yesterday when I kissed you by the fridge? You seemed to enjoy it when I pushed you up against it. Did you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Todoroki protested.

Deku responded with a finger in his side, wiggling gently but insistently. Todoroki sputtered and tried to scoot away, but there was nowhere for him to go with his boyfriend sitting on him.

“M-Midoriya!”

“Be honest. You like it when I mess with you.” The freckled boy giggled, switching from poking to pinching along his partner’s side.

Todoroki let out a little giggle of his own, whining despite himself. “Nohohohoho! You’ve gohohot it wrohohohong, Midohohoriya!”

Deku hesitated, letting up, frowning a little. “I do? Then…why do you look so excited when I push you around a little?” His frown smoothed out into a tiny smile. “And why do you look so disappointed that I let you off easy just now?”

“I…! I mean, you…! Ugh, fine. All right, all right.” Todoroki averted his eyes. “I kind of like it when you mess with me. Just a little, though, you know? Like, I don’t want you to start being a jerk, it’s just…fun when you do…well, stuff like you’re doing now.”

The finger was back, tickling closer to his underarm now. “Stuff like this?”

“Hehehehey!” Todoroki snorted, giggling steadily now. “Don’t gehehehehet cahahaharried away!”

Deku chuckled. “This isn’t carried away!” He shot his tickling hand down to his boyfriend’s thigh and squeezed, tightening his grip on his wrists at the same time. “This is.”

Todoroki burst into laughter, trying to buck Deku off of his lap, but he was stuck tight, and yes, all right, he had to finally admit it – he liked Midoriya playfully taking charge like this.

“Aiiieee! Plehehehehehease, Izuku!”

Deku snickered, letting his wrists go to tickle both his sides at once, kissing him in the brief moment before his partner started pushing at his shoulders, squirming in his seat. “Good thing I like watching you get all flustered, then, Shoto!”

I'm going to scream about the latest BSD chapter under the cut SPOILERS AHEAD

FREAKIN WHY WON'T FYODOR JUST DIIIIIIIIE ALREADY?!?!

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that whatever the hell was happening here meant Akutagawa would go back to normal 😭

[intheticklecloset]

nym nym !! how badly do certain teases affect dazai and how does he typically react to them? sorry i know i asked something similar with sigma but i cant help it 😭 it’s so cute to imagine ahshdhehdha

- 🎀

Teasing is the one thing that REALLY gets Dazai going! He loves being tickled, but start teasing him and he literally CANNOT. He'll start to get all whiny and desperate, ESPECIALLY if he's being called out for liking it. "Ooh, you like that, huh?" and "You're not even trying to get away!" are especially good ways to get Dazai blushing and squirming despite himself. He secretly kinda loves it, but it flusters him to no end! 😍

#nym speaks #ribbon anon #spontaneous tickle hcs

[intheticklecloset]

Sigma is not much of a thrasher when he's tickled (Unless it's NIKOLAI-) but he 100% weakly kicks his feet like a little puppy, prove me wrong😂

I agree! He kind of enjoys being tickled so he doesn't really struggle too much, BUT he definitely kicks his feet a little if he's lying or sitting down! If he's standing up, he'll do a little dance in place instead. He can't help but squirm a LITTLE - natural reaction and all that - but he doesn't really wanna get away, either. 😊

Hey hello it’s me- a totally normal anon and not somebody you know 👀

For the hc game; thoughts on Platonic!Kagehina and air tickles? Like- if they were to play a game of chicken on who’d back out first before actually getting tickled?

Thanks!

-Squig-ehem; anon 👀

Oooh, this is a tough one! First of all - the thought of those two dorks playing chicken with air tickles has me ASCENDING, THANK YOU?? As for who'd back out first...

I can see Hinata getting super flustered and giggling before anything's even happened, but he's also the type to NEVER give in when it comes to competition with Kags, so he'd probably be able to hold out until the last possible second.

Kageyama? He's even more flustered by it all, especially if said fingers are wiggling over a really bad spot. He'll fight his giggles as much as possible but eventually he won't be able to help himself, AND he'd be the one to give in first, albeit not very gracefully. He'd try to bluster his way through it like, "oh my god you're so bad at this, just skip the teasing and get on with it!" (meanwhile just DYING for Hinata to tickle him silly 🤭)

EEEEK thanks for asking, totally not someone I know anon! 😉

#nym speaks #spontaneous tickle hcs #totally not squiggily-anon

[intheticklecloset]

hi hello!! how do you think sigma would react to teasing?? (maybe the usual “ohh you like this” or something, if you need it specified) i <3 and miss him

- 🎀

OOOOH he'd be absolutely WEAK to teasing!! Especially since I hc that considering his backstory he hasn't really experienced a lot of tickling in his life, so just the act of being tickled is enough to fluster him before you add teasing into the mix. But that specific line especially gets him because he's just?? Not sure if it's "okay" to like it?? But he can't help that he does and it's just a moment of complete short-circuiting on his part. 🥰🥰🥰

I have this headcanon that light tickles are very much a part of skk’s post corruption routine

Just light gentle physical affection, which gives a sensory input for chuuya to focus on and just ground him amongst the haze of everything. and continued no longer human is certainly a plus. (And Chuuya has the excuse of being too tired, that’s why he’s not fighting it. No other reason)

YESSSSS OMG 😩🤌🤌🤌

I LOOOOVE the idea of Dazai being super gentle with Chuuya during Corruption aftercare, including softly brushing his hair and lightly tickling him to ground him without overwhelming him. AND Chuuya being way too tired and out of it to protest. It's definitely just that, though - not because he loves it or anything. 😉

They're so soft I can't 😭

Aww! That was so cute! Thank you so much for writing my coffee shot request! (and answering my questions!). Give yourself a pat on the back and a freaking- triple layered cupcake or something so you can feel just as satisfied as I do now. You're awesome!

To add on to the Fukazawa and Ranpo father and son tickle headcanons, I can say with 100% certainty that is one of the only wants to make him flustered

Yesss! Ranpo doesn't fluster easily for sure, but I can see having Fukuzawa tickle him being one of the few things that make him lose composure a bit! Even if it's not in front of others; he's just a taaaad embarrassed to be ticklish like most everyone else. ^^

#nym speaks #spontaneous tickle hcs

[intheticklecloset]

Hiya! Howzit going, Nym? Can I please request a coffee shot of ler! Dazai and lee! Sigma please? (Romantic or platonic, your choice!). I'm just imagining Dazai playing with Sigma's hair and Sigma begrudgingly allowing it. And Dazai's a mischievous twit, so *obviously* He's going to use playing with Sigma's hair as an excuse to tiggle his ears, neck, shoulders, back etc LMAO and meanwhile Sigma can't do anything because Dazai's playing with his hair, so he kind of just has to take it. P.s. I'm new here so I got a question. You're a soukoku shipper (I think XD), does that mean you don't like writing for other ships? (IE Sigzai, Fyozai, Dazatsu etc). Like, do you dislike writing for ships you don't ship? I don't wanna make you uncomfy with my requests (because I feel like I'll be here a lot :D) so I just wanna know!

To answer your question, I DO definitely ship Soukoku, and Shin Soukoku, and Ranpoe, and I'm starting to like the idea of HiguGin too. But that doesn't mean I don't write for other ships if they're requested! My fandom list will have any and all characters/pairings I WON'T write for, so just check in on that before asking for something. As of now the only ships I can say I definitely won't write for are DazAku and Sigma/Fyodor. Welcome to my little corner of the internet! 🥰

~~~

“Your hair is so long and colorful,” Dazai murmured, running his fingers through it absently. “It looks like cotton candy. Does it taste like it?”

“Of course not, weirdo,” Sigma replied, trying not to let himself melt at the gentle touch as he hunched over his desk, scribbling away at the papers he’d been assigned for the day. “But you’re welcome to try, if it’ll make you feel better.”

Dazai chuckled. “Nah. I did that to Chuuya once, thinking his hair might taste like Flaming Hot Cheetos. It didn’t.”

Sigma shook his head, hiding a smile as best he could. “I’m sure he enjoyed that.”

“Oh, he was livid,” the detective replied. “But it was so worth it.”

Sigma felt every part of his body relax when Dazai continued to trail his fingers through his hair from his scalp to his shoulders, like he was petting a cat. He took a moment to make sure his voice would come out normally as he asked, “Is there a point to your fondling my hair or are you just being an idiot?”

“Fondling?” Dazai paused in his ministrations to cackle, bending over at the waist as he laughed.

Sigma flushed, suddenly embarrassed at his word choice. “You know what I mean.”

“That wasn’t fondling. This is fondling!” Dazai made a show of grabbing a fistful of Sigma’s hair and scrunching it up, his fingernails catching the other man’s neck in tandem with the stray strands that flew free.

“Hmmph!” Sigma clenched his fists, wrinkling one of the papers he’d been working on as well, every relaxed muscle in him suddenly taut with tension. “D-Don’t do that! I’ll have to comb it all out again.”

Dazai paused and was silent for a moment, and for a brief second Sigma thought he was getting what he asked.

Then the detective plunged his fingers through his two-toned hair to scribble purposefully at his neck, and he squeaked and dropped his pen as his hands flew up to stop him. “Dohohon’t!”

“Oooh, is this a new tickle spot, Sigma?~” Dazai teased, capturing his right wrist and tracing his finger along the shell of his ear. “What about here?”

“Ehehehehehe! Nohohoho!” Sigma scrunched up his shoulder protectively, trying to reach around with his left arm to stop the detective’s experimenting.

Dazai’s grin was evident in his voice. “Fascinating! I’ll have to look into this more later. But I don’t want to ruin the moment.”

“Ruin the moment? It’s already ruined,” Sigma shot back, gesturing at his desk. “Look at all these papers I’ll have to start over thanks to you!”

Without another word, Dazai silently went back to the petting motion he’d started this interaction with. Sigma felt himself relax involuntarily, a sigh slipping free this time as well.

“Feels nice, hmm, Sigma?” Dazai teased playfully.

Sigma closed his eyes and resigned himself to not getting any work done until his friend left him alone.

I HAVE A HEADCANON~!!

fukuzawa doesn’t really go too far with tickling ranpo; he’ll just lightly skitter his nails. but he has a few guidelines: tickle his back/nape to calm him down, tickle under his chin to cheer him up, and tickle his sides to *shut* him up hehehe

they are my favorite father and son duo fr

I've never given a ton of thought to Fukuzawa and Ranpo in terms of tickling, but I can see this happening! I actually wonder if Ranpo would get flustered enough by it that he'd get kinda blushy if it was done in front of the others at the ADA. 🥰
