#but i will NOT shut up abt this team ever now haha.

monthly word count - may

TOTAL: 3 026... :((((((((( this month has been BAD for my concentration. upside, i plotted out several things like cherry wine and also wasted idk how long making family trees for uchiha and senju. totally essential, glad you all agree. u_u;;;;

ok i also tried to come up with a quick svsss arranged marriage bingqiu and got so into "no but i need more setup for it, it makes no sense like this" and now it seems to be SQH crack with qijiu instead because *shen yuan hasn't been born yet* what the frick self.

POSTED : nothin.

-- svsss -- The truth wasn't that Airplane had hatched a master plan to sneak out from under his System's unforgiving yoke.

The truth was that he'd been buried in emergency inventory lists to his eyebrows for the last two weeks, and just that day had to deal with eight different customers who couldn't understand why heightened demon-human hostilities would mean their ancient viagra tea would be harder to procure, all because his shifu thought he could do with more asshole-handling practice. The last thing he needed was Shen newly-Qingqiu getting in his face about the wrong wood being used in his tranquility-promoting benches.

Who the fuck caaaaaaares bro shut the FUCK up we all know it's because the wood grain's not the right swirliness for your "artistic vision"!

So he lost his temper.

In true Shang Qinghua fashion he lost it in the privacy of his own mind and nowhere else. "Ah, shixiong, you understand, we're too understaffed to send a team! It would be months before an expedition could be justified."

"Why is that."

Airplane had created Shen Jiu to be a bitch, but sometimes he was still surprised at the depths of bitchiness he managed to plunder with a single eyebrow.

"Because I try not to feed more than five shidis a week to Colossal Orchid-Faced Ants when I can help it?"

The way Shen Quingqiu paused and gave him a considering look had Shang Qinghua freeze solid for a second. Fuck fuck shit abort--

"Shang-shidi's tongue seems in fine form today," Shen Qingqiu commented in a silky way that Airplane translated into 'ooh, a challenger to my bitchy crown'. "One would almost think he didn't find his mistake anything to complain about."

... Jjghbgffhhh.

[vigilskeep]

i admit i’m very curious about minerva and broken circle, like who did she bring with her and what did she think on their comments during the quest? did she spare that one blood mage? why or why not? my surana doesn’t personally, even though they’re a blood mage themself, just because they don’t think the blood mage will be able to get out and doesn’t want to risk the templars finding a blood mage among the mages labeled safe and have them go “oh well better annul them then”. was her fade dream the default with duncan or a more personalized one? reaction to the knowledge that irving was baiting apprentices and is the cause of jowan’s whole thing? opinions on the cullen issue? sorry broken circle is just

omg of course broken circle my beloved

minerva brought zev and morri through the tower. she actually brings alistair into the tower but he has that like lightly toned ambient line as you go in that’s like “as i recall shutting the door and throwing away the key was definitely the templar plan b.” which from minerva’s perspective is like, okay well, i just found out everyone i know including the children and my dad have been locked in and left for dead, so maybe shut the fuck up and save the joking around abt it for somebody else. like i think she’s actually mad at him there and the bit where you have to switch a party member out for wynne is her straight up telling him to get out which is a conversation i’d LOVE to write on. probably v startling for alistair, who has likely never even seen her that upfront angry before except maybe to jowan; she’s usually so diplomatic and controlled and she and alistair are such close friends by then that it would be a Lot. but anyway ya wynne zev and morri! not an ideally balanced team w three mages and a rogue lmao which i think shows how upset minerva was. morri is interesting because on a persuade check you CAN actually get through to her by saying these mages might have been her. morri’s opinions on circle mages endlessly fascinating as ever

minerva did spare the blood mage, yes. this is the stage of her playthrough where we’re directly inbetween telling jowan she never wants to see him again and becoming a blood mage herself, so i think that’s a good beat to show her coming around to the idea

if i am hugely hugely self-indulgent, i love love love to exaggerate the fade sequences and expand on them, so i have a bunch of different concepts for dreams you might try to trap minerva in. that’s so fun to explore and i think that would be more interesting and cohesive in a narrative than trying to actually write through the whole lost in the fade quest. i would love to do obvious hits like, she never got taken from the alienage, she and jowan and lily somehow all made it out of the circle, halliserre’s not tranquil and she’s free to be with them in public, she saved ferelden and now the circles are free bc everyone trusts her so so much and thinks she’s the bestest ever, etc. but i’d also love to try slightly wilder ones she absolutely doesn’t consciously think she wants like: what if she could get her magic taken away or even agree to tranquillity. what if her family had never left tevinter and she was a magister’s student. what if she was dalish! what if she were a blood mage haha that would be crazy right... right? i would love to try my hand at writing all of those and pick a few favourites to make “canon”

reaction to irving baiting apprentices... i think minerva kind of always knew deep down. she and irving were so close and so alike. like it’s a betrayal, but also, of course he would. if it didn’t apply to jowan, if it hadn’t been for all her experiences since leaving the circle, would the person she was back then have even questioned it? she understands irving and even if she becomes more critical of him and her old self she’ll never be able to really condemn him

as for cullen... minerva never thought much abt him in the circle. his attention was unsettling in her position especially with his role in her harrowing but he seemed harmless enough and she was confident in her ability to handle it and that if worst came to worst she could always go to irving abt it. the broken circle encounter makes it scarier in retrospect because she didn’t realise it was such an obsession or that he could be pushed to such extremes. she’s deeply uncomfortable with the whole thing and it’s one of the things that makes broken circle such a marked change in her perspective where ultimately she will never be able to consider any mage safe in the circle even the ones like her who “do everything right”. she would avoid ever talking to him again if she could and it would make her incredibly unnerved by the inquisition regardless of its other figureheads and policies

the visuals of minerva’s return are very compelling i would love to have had the demon taking minerva’s form to appear but as the fragile circle mage w long flowing hair and delicate robes and then for the real minerva to show up bloodstreaked in full armour. chefs kiss

Randy’s Ultimate Birds of Prey Review (first thoughts)

I want to preface this by waxing just a little poetic here, because I can. The true spirit of the Birds of Prey has been and will always be in the way women love and support one another. As friends, as teammates, as sisters-in-arms against whatever the world throws at them. And while not every comic, not every story, will be Completely Outstanding or without fault, I can say with certainty that when given to competent writers and loving artists, to diligent crews and hard-working casts, that that spirit is seen and felt just as strongly.

First we’ll be tackling the comics, separating them mostly by run (with Dixon to start, the Simone’s turn at the line to follow, then 2010, New52, and BatBoP). Then we’ll discuss the two separate forays into live-action that the Birds have taken (BoP02, and BoP20 respectively) And to finish it all off, we’ll take a prospective look at HQatBoP, given that (at the time of this posting) it has only one issue, and more than enough untapped potential. To keep myself focused and keep things hopefully brief, we’ll be discussing each run’s Line-Up, Writing and Art, and finally overall Plot/Character Development. I will also try to keep things as spoiler-free as possible, but it’s also been a decade since some of this stuff was written, so... YKNOW Spoiler Caution Advised.

Without Further Ado, Let’s Fly~ 

The Dixon Era:

The Line-Up 

As the Definitive Starting Point for the team, this era is marked most notably by the sole members, Dinah and Babs, and their numerous memorable one-off adventures. They are joined on a few occasions by other heroes. Or, while working separately from one another, will team-up with others as they lead their individual lives. The core of this budding ‘team’ remains as a duo for the majority of this part of the run, however.

The Talent

Dixon and his writing is not without faults, of course, as any given international mission could fall prey to stereotypical archetypes and pitfalls. For the most part, Dixon’s writing remains among some of the most entertaining I’ve found, comparatively speaking. With a knack for wisecracks and poignant thoughts alike, I find myself looking forward to more of his work, with a great sense of cautious optimism.

The art, in this same vein, can be also be hit or miss at times, just as much as exploitative panels/questionable dialogue make their inevitable way in. I cannot recall anything outright offensive or demeaning, but one should approach with measured expectations.

The Development

Easy to follow along, but with plenty of twists and turns to keep me interested in the direction any given mystery would lead our duo. The banter and camaraderie that’s slowly and surely built up between Dinah and Babs had me falling ever more in love with their dynamic and with their bond as they grew to not only work well with one another, but into becoming fast friends. The focus is in the development of these characters and this new season of life they find themselves in, rather than grand-sweeping, or long-running plots. But with fun enough jaunts and adventures regardless, I already find myself looking forward to rereading these issues in the near-future.

It is important to note, that in the interim between these two general eras i have marked, that there are numerous Other Writers that took their own cracks during this particular run of BoP, both preceding and superseding Simone. As she and Dixon have the longer-running pens, and that they have the most notable influence in the fandom consciousness, is the biggest reason for why i’ve named these sections as such.

Simone’s Turn:

The Line-Up

A Turning Point for not only the run itself, but the group dynamics as well! This era is marked by the permanent reintroduction of Huntress onto the team, Lady Blackhawk being another quick to follow, and the team’s subsequent rotating cast expanding to many heroines beyond as well. Simone’s writing doesn’t miss a beat in the banter, however, and takes the team from Dixon just as steadily as runners pass a baton.

The Talent

Again, the writing itself usually never misses a beat, and the art, as memory serves, carried very well alongside it, something most usually without offense and downright enjoyable in some places to pour over. While there were certainly some moments and dialogue that gave me pause, for the greater majority of this run, one can expect entertainment, nonetheless.

The Development

While the preceding run had focused moreso on interesting stories and one-off adventures, here is where longer-running plot threads began to take root, and more complicated games and chases between heroes and villains were given room to unfold. Most notably as the Calculator takes more and evermore dramatic actions against Oracle and her team. Not without its fair share of delightful rough patches as team dynamics shift right alongside the cast rotations, anyone who appreciates a long game and character development is likely to come away satisfied from this run, even as it draws to brief close... Which brings me to...

BoP (2010):

The Line-Up

Picking up not too long where the previous run ended, Oracle brings her team (Black Canary, Huntress and Lady Blackhawk) back together with a couple new faces (Hawk and Dove) to wrap up a few loose threads, and, hopefully, begin something anew.

The Talent

As before, Simone doesn’t usually miss a beat with this team, even while taking account the changed dynamics and time apart the group has spent. Dialogue and plot threading is just as tight as ever.

Unfortunate, however, is the fact that the art in the run ended up with more misses than hits for me, mostly in the first half of the run and most often in the sense of objectifying and oversexualizing our heroines in fashion that is disappointing, but unsurprising coming from the comics industry.

The Development

The plot takes a bit of a beating, rushed in some places as Flashpoint and the New 52 reboot loom heavily on the horizon, but Simone and the team superseding her take those changes in stride, delivering a story that may or may not satisfy everyone’s tastes. For those who were left wanting from the way the first run ended, it’s important to note that the threat of the Bird’s longer running nemesis, the Calculator, comes to a much more satisfying and final end after his temporary defeat in the Oracle: The Cure miniseries. While not entirely necessary, I would highly suggest reading that mini, and the issues of Batgirl (2009) which include Babs, to get a clearer sense of the arc that Barbara and this villain have taken. While this run is not a perfect ending, per se, it provides an ending nonetheless, and an entertaining adventure to cap off the series that once again perfectly encapsulates what camaraderie and sisterhood is all about for this team.

The New 52:

The Line-Up

With a fresh new universe and timeline to make one’s mark in, this team is kick-started alone by Dinah Drake-Lance, though Barbara (as Batgirl) is later to follow. For the first part of the run, Dinah is joined by a new character Starling, (whose mannerism and role on the team most closely resemble of fusion of previous members Huntress and Blackhawk) Katana, and Poison Ivy (acting a role of anti-villain, mostly). For the latter half of the run, following Ivy’s betrayal and Katana’s desire to strike out on her own, the team is joined by Condor (a meta whose backstory and powers are explored as the series progresses) and Strix (a former Talon who brings extra and endearing muscle to the team).

With many members carrying secrets or ulterior motives, tension often runs high among these birds. Those who enjoy drama or a little more disarray in a team, may find themelves entertained by the turns these ladies will take on one another. Most certainly a break from the norm previously established, and from those to come.

The Talent

The writing for this run is filled with many quick quips and snaps, each character developing a distinct voice and personality. While the New 52 is often a point of contention among DC fans, anyone wishing for something fresh or different from pre52 characterization of these characters may find themselves delightfully surprised.

Art-wise expect similar fare as the 2010 run, as some costume design choices are questionable at best. The action itself is entertaining, though, with some interesting opportunity for unique visuals as more metahumans and meta dangers are brought along.

The Development

What sets this run apart from the others, certainly has to do in the dynamics that are laid out over the series. Every character has their own motives or secrets to hide, creating a delicious tension that helps keep a reader guessing just how this team will inevitably break apart. Story arcs themselves are usually pretty well-paced, though with such heavy focus usually on whatever threat immediately faces the team, moments of character development and interpersonal development can be lackluster at best, nonexistent at worst. And while that was certainly frustrating, I personally found myself intrigued enough by any given on-going plot to nearly forgive it... Nearly.

BatBoP:

The Line-Up

In the Wake of Rebirth, the Birds find themselves once again starting anew, with Batgirl (Babs) and Canary (Dinah) forming what each believes to be a brief alliance. With the Huntress crossing their path, eventually the trio recognizes how well they work together, and these three remain once more as the core members for the majority of this run.

They are joined for a brief time by Gus Yale, taking on the Oracle identity to provide technical back-up. Even more brief is a memorable team-up which included Gotham heroine and villainess alike for the Manslaughter story arc.

The Talent

While exposition is often written with a flair of humor, and many interesting one-liners can be found, overall that humor can grow tedious, and the dialogue itself often came across as either very stilted or simply unrealistic. Many characters can fall very flat, while others feel like shadows of their pre52 selves. Whether the writers intended to make these characters their own or to emulate previous characterizations, I could care less about, as the pacing and plotting itself leaves such a poor taste in my mouth.

This run’s saving grace, however, is most certainly in the character design and the artwork. Given practical costumes, colorful palettes, and powerful posing, visually it’s a breath of fresh air.

The Development

Quick and simple story-arcs is the name of the game here, but unlike during Dixon’s era, these one-off adventures are all too often infantilizing and condescending towards its audience. The development of this trio’s friendship also feels extremely rushed, the camaraderie and kinship unearned compared to the toil and work put in during previous runs. With a completed long-running story arc set from the beginning issues and brought to a neatly-wrapped conclusion by the end, one can walk away satisfied that a story has been brought to completion. However, with no true middle act in the issues between, this remains one of the weakest of Birds runs for me, as the plot borrows much too heavily from pre52 (what with the return of the Calculator as a main villain), while also neglecting to produce too many original ideas of real note.

BoP02:

The Line-Up

In usual fashion for TV, we mainly follow a trio of gals, this time consisting of Barbara Gordon (as Oracle), Helena Kyle (as the Huntress) and Dinah Lance. Rounding out the supporting cast is Alfred Pennyworth as a confidant to the team, and Detective Jesse Reese, Huntress’ ally within the police. The main antagonist for this series is none other than Harley Quinn, who is introduced first to the audience as Helena’s therapist.

The Talent

It takes a team to pull off any performance art, but that especially rings true for television. While the writing and acting can be a tad hammy in many places, even by early 00s standards, there’s a clear level of love and care taken by the actors and crew alike. Outfits and costuming is fairly typical, fashionable for the time, even, and the same can be said for the soundtrack as well (which rings with an air of nostalgia, as someone who listened to plenty of pop/rock tracks of this time period well throughout my child & teenagehood).

I’ve often described this series to friends and fans alike as a ‘so bad, but good’ kind of show. Which isn’t entirely fair. Rather, it’s a guilty pleasure, because it’s perfectly imperfect. It’s got the heart and the soul and a lot of vision that falls just a little short at times. But it can be a pleasure to view all the same. I do not begrudge anyone who chooses not to view it, however, as in many ways it feels like a spiritual predecessor to what would eventually become the CW/Arrowverse. And we’ll dive more into that just below...

The Development

In an odd enough twist for the time, as by 2002 Huntress (Bertinelli, that is) had only joined Canary on a few missions in the comics, the show runners have replaced Bertinelli with the other known Huntress, Helena Wayne (or known here, rather, as Helena Kyle). Made stranger still, is forgoing the use of Dinah’s character as Black Canary and replacing her Canary Cry with psychic meta-abilities instead, simultaneously transforming her into a runaway and aging her down to her mid-teens, further differentiating her from her fellow cast members (as Kyle is portrayed as early 20s, & Babs’ as early 30s). This dynamic is a very dramatic flip compared to the comics, but (but!) not entirely an unwelcome one, for me. 

While giving Babs the chance to act more as a leader and den-mother alike to these two budding heroes. Kyle, in similar fashion, taking on an elder-sibling/mentor role to Dinah’s naiveté. Dina’s portrayal of Babs has certainly set a standard for those who may follow, as she captures so much of the dual love and sternness the character carries. Kyle’s character takes a simple, but satisfying arc as she learns to trust those around her, despite her past and what she believes to be her nature. And finally Dinah just starting to come into her powers and her identity, one could see further development for her character, had the series progressed beyond the first, and only season.

Alas, with one lone season, we shall never know what may have been. I can say, however, that the slow build up of Harley as the main threat facing New Gotham, and their swift, but hard-won defeat of her, was wonderfully satisfying. And with enough of one-off and self-contained episodes in between, it makes for an interesting, but quick and relatively painless binge.

BoP20:

The Line-Up

In another case of Adaptation Deviation, taking center stage for this story is none other than the Clown Princess of Crime, Harley Quinn. In this tale that our protagonist narrates, we’ve also got BoP staples Dinah and Helena (Bertinelli this time) returning, and former guest ‘Birds’ Renee and Cassandra to round out the protagonist team. The Black Mask, Roman Sionis, and serial killer, Victor Zsasz, serve as the primary villains.

The Talent

WHERE to even BEGIN. If television takes a team, movies take an entire goddamn VILLAGE to pull off, and to pull of WELL. For all intents and purposes, BoP(atFEoOHQ) is an absolutely goddamn DELIGHT for the senses. The sheer amount of COLOR, choreography and every moment acting as villains and heroes alike are at the TOP of their game. The soundtrack is something that I’ve been listening to for well over two months at this time of posting (& likely will continue to listen to well after). There’s almost too much to be said and has already been said about the love and labor that clearly went into this film, but suffice it to say, it’s something I’ve come to appreciate even more every time I’ve had the chance to rewatch it. On viewability alone, even with a strong, and well earned R-rating, one can’t help but simply sit back and enjoy it for the ride that it is.

The Development

The plot, despite even Harley’s sometimes roundabout storytelling skills, is simple enough to follow. And with character introductions and motivations padding out the rest of the runtime, and leading up to a predictable but nevertheless astounding 3rd act team-up, fans new and old should walk away satisfied. That being said, with Harley as our protagonist and her character arc taking precedent over the others because of that, this movie does come across as more of a Harley Quinn Show with a Side of Birds. Another point of contention is the absence of Barbara Gordon, either as Batgirl OR Oracle, and the drastic change of Cassandra’s characterization. While these two points are definite drawbacks that sadden me, the overall production is damn-well near enough to make me forget. This movie, while nowhere near a Complete adaptation of any particular Birds comic, is nonetheless a fun romp, and captures enough of the essence of what Birds should be about; women uplifting other women.

HQatBoP:

The Line-Up

To tie in with the movie, this line-up follows the same five female protagonists, this time as Harley finds danger following her as she makes a prodigal return to Gotham City. With only one issue out, and hints of the Gotham mob and Joker alike to be facing our team, only time will tell just how many heroes or villains may be involved in this miniseries.

The Talent

With Harley Quinn alums, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti spearheading this story, and with the blessing of the DC Black label, fans who enjoy the raunchier or more violent side of comics, and who enjoyed the Harley series, will find a fantastic start in return to form in this comic. It might be a little too soon to tell, but from what I have read from this duo already, I have nothing but hight hopes for how they’ll flesh out this story.

The Development

An interesting start and lots of exposition to ease new readers into place, this comic seems to be a good bridge for those unfamiliar with any previous Harley work (though they do sample heavily from their old runs), or those who may be coming solely with knowledge from the movie. Once again, Harley will be taking the center stage in this series, but already with Helena and Cassandra joining her fight, and Renee making an antagonist entrance at the end of the first issue, this series feels full of promise. Certainly not quite like any Birds series that’s been published before, but hopefully the herald of something more to come.

---

While I firmly believe each comic run has their merits, I would be remiss not to recommend the original run (and the 2010 follow-up) above all else. It is the definitive run, after all, and with over 100 issues to pour over, plus one-offs and miniseries from the same era abounding, anyone looking to get into Birds will find themselves with plenty to parse through, and plenty to enjoy, when reading.

While I certainly have more to say about these runs and even more so about these characters, as I close out my reading for the first time on Birds of Prey, I can only hope for more adventures for this team in the future.

HERES ANOTHER SELF PROJECTION BLURB, DREAM TEAM WITH A S/O WHO HAS TROUBLE THINKING BEFORE THEY SPEAK SOMETIMES

can be interpreted as poly but there's no big blurb abt all of them together like there normally is, just separate little scenarios/blurbs for each of them :]

warnings: couple nsfw jokes but for the most part it's all sfw

dream team with a partner who has trouble filtering what they say. whether it being because of ADHD or they're just hyper and have trouble fully thinking abt words before they come out of their mouth you can decided. admittedly it's not always the best thing since sometimes the stuff that comes out can come off as rude or mean, but the boys know you don't always mean the stuff you say and it just happens. (doesn't mean you don't apologize and reassure them though, because remember everyone, things like troubles thinking before you speak or anything like that can be an explanation but never an excuse, if you've accidentally hurt someone's feelings apologize and talk it out :)

dream is very understanding, and if you dont like him teasing you about it he won't and will instead smile whenever something slips past your filter and give you a little kiss. if however you are okay with him doing a little bit of teasing ooh boy are you in for a ride. he likes to do things to fluster you to see what you'll do. his personal favorite thing to do is to sneak up behind you while you're doing something, grab your waist and whisper into you're ear. it's never really anything explicit, normally just a "hi sweetheart" or a "my hoodie looks really good on you" he then turns you around and grabs your chin to make you look up at him. he kind of just looks you up and down while smirking and goes "whatcha thinking about baby?" to which you reply with "HAHA NOTHING YOURE JUST REALLY FUCKING HOT 😀" your eyes go wide realizing what you just said and dream is folded over wheezing. you start rambling about how "PFFT- WAIT NO I DIDNT MEAN- WELL YES I DID BUT WAIT,,you know what let me just shut my mouth." after dreams finished deflating he hugs you and presses a couple chaste kisses on your face cooing about how adorable you are.

sapnap is relatively chill about it. doesn't tease you much but also can't help it sometimes. again very cautious about your boundaries and makes sure you know to tell him if he ever takes it too far. although he teases you, the second someone who isn't him teases you? ooh boy he's on their ass. when he does tease you he does it somewhat similarly to the way dream does, in the way where he tries to fluster you to see what happens. he'll probably flop on your lap, get all close to your ear and go "hey sugar, you're looking very pretty :]" but he'll purposely put on a like,,thicker southern accent because he knows it kind of makes your brain malfunction. you laugh at him and go "you sound like a middle-aged cowboy. hot middle-aged cowboy." before immediately hiding your face in your hands on embarrassment taking in what you just said while sap just dies of laughter. there was probably a time where you and him were like rearranging his streaming room and you got bored and went "hhdggh this is taking too long to rearrange, why don't you rearrange my guts instead 🙄" before going "oh- wAIT NO I DIDNT MEAN-"

George is very sweet about it. actually doesn't tease you at all, sometimes he does but it's very rare. he's more likely to laugh about it with you or say something equally as odd to make you laugh even harder. likes to let you have appearances on his streams because you're very funny. definitely defends you if someone in chat is saying your "attempt" at being "random" isn't funny. on the rare occasion that George does tease you it's more of his reaction mixed with pops into his head at the moment. one time you guys were shopping and passed by the art isle and you went "hmm, I wonder what these crayons taste like microwaved,," George burst out laughing and immediately went "PAHAH WHAT?? ehehe 'ah yes, look at these crayons, I will now proceed to imagine how it tastes after being microwaved." you probably jokingly glare at him before laughing yourself. "you're so silly :)" george then presses a kiss to your forehead and you guys continue on shopping.

a/n: I fixed it :DD anyway this has been sitting in my drafts for like months so :]]

Naruto shippuden things that made me lose my mind (ep 211-222):

Tobirama to his team: you are all young, don't be so hasty to die. Worry not, your oppertunity for death will come

Sakura: sasuke! I've come to join u! Sasuke, unphased: time to kill sakura, I guess

Naruto: sasuke, what you're doing is understandable. Sasuke: *immediately starts shaking*

I'll bear the burden of your hatred and we'll die together (legitimately one of the most romantic things I've ever heard?)

Karin: I wonder how Jugo and Suigetsu are doing? (God, karin, I could not even begin to care abt those losers)

God the idea of Kakashi having to become hokage is so depressing...

Sakura: if naruto and sasuke were both gravely injured, who would I help 1st? (SAKURA WHAT THE FUCK???)

Hi I just read you’re tsukishima story and it was so cute omg but I have an idea

Let’s say y/n has a huge crush on tsukishima since they were children right. But tsukishima never rlly liked y/n in that way. So he would always like be kinda aggressive but like not in the physical way, like he would be cold to her whenever y/n would constantly say something abt them dating. In reality he did like her but he didn’t realize it. Then suddenly a new guy shows up, he’s like really handsome and he’s in a small band, he plays the bass. Y/n actually listens to that band and she was so excited so the two of them click really easy, that’s when she starts being distant with tsukishima and stops the talks abt them dating, tsukishima starts to miss everything y/n would say to him and he wanted to get y/n back, but when he tries he sees y/n and the guy sharing a peck 😔‼️ sorry if this was longgggg ugh

a/n: ahhh! I’m glad you thought so, haha! don’t worry about the length, specifics are always welcome! <3 this is a really good idea! i think it ended up on the longer side, but yk, more content is good? i also ended up naming him, so it’s easier to refer to him. i keep holding on to highschool settings i’m sorry LMAO- i haven’t finished season 4 and i’m not reading the manga yet :( but anyways, here’s a bit of angst/unrequited love to balance out my recent fluff posts !

asks/requests: open !

word count: 2.6k

warnings?: some angst/unrequited love

worth a try.

- TSUKISHIMA KEI -

growing up with tsukishima had been a whirlwind of experiences. ever since you had moved and transferred to his school the last year of primary school, you’d been drawn to him. the tall, blonde kid with glasses. you found his pride in volleyball admirable, and you even found him to be so much cooler than you ever would be.

you originally didn’t know anybody when you first moved, but you fit right in with both tsukishima and his own friend. it was a strange combination, but it worked somehow. while tsukishima was rude, and yamaguchi timid, you were loud and energetic. you were lively. you challenged him just for the fun of it, you poked and prodded, just having fun being around him.

you were his self-declared best friend.

looking back on it, you probably always had feelings for tsukishima. back in those days when you tried to get into volleyball yourself. wanting to be like him, you tried your best, but you weren’t all that good. he would make fun of you for it, but you weren’t bothered by settling for being supportive of him and your freckled friend. You were just as passionate as they were about it.

you were even there when that passion jaded. watched as he stared at his brother from across the game.

it was when you started junior high, that you came to the conclusion that you were in love with your friend. but unlike most people, you did nothing to hide it. why would you? you were always open, always honest and straight to the point. you just weren’t one to hide that.

“go out with me, tsukki!” you poked his side with a cheeky grin, your eyes bright. your friend wasted no time in rejecting you.

“no.”

“aw, you sure?”

“i would never date somebody so stupidly annoying.” you shook off the blatant insult, laughing instead with your hand on your neck. a small thing you picked up from your other friend. yamaguchi.

“you’ll come around one day!”

“i doubt that.”

it went on like that all throughout your remaining years until high school. a constant back and forth that became a schedule at that point.

it was decided that tsukishima would be going to karasuno, as would yamaguchi. and so would you. you would go where they go, you’d never thought about leaving them both. you’d stay with them as long as possible, holding on to their friendship like it was your lifeline..

and holding onto tsukishima even more so.

you were there with them on the first day, when they joined volleyball club. that first practice match against aoba johsai.

you weren’t always watching their practices, since you had your own club duties to attend to of course. but you always made sure to stop by the clubroom while the boys were getting ready, just to say hi to everyone and to a certain someone.

“hey, hey!” you poked your head from around the door, waving a hand. the team greeted you cheerfully enough, minus tsukishima. who looked annoyed to no end.

“tsukki, wanna go grab something to eat after your practice? i know a really great spot!”

he didn’t even look at you, only giving you the middle finger.

you laughed, shrugging. “worth a try.”

the first time the team had witnessed your very forward approach to asking the extremely salty and crude boy out, they were surprised. the way he turned you down so effortlessly too, threw them off. the added shock of anybody even liking him was the cherry on top.

“is this normal?” sugawara asked, a chuckle falling from his lips. asahi was beside him, sweatdropping at the sight of your affectionate display, and tsukishima’s obvious lack of reciprocation.

yamaguchi smiled awkwardly, nodding. “well- yeah, actually. It’s been happening for years.”

“i’d kill to have somebody all over me like that! lucky bastard!” tanaka held his fist up dramatically, as if clenching his heart in it. he even had a tear in the corner of his eye.

“well then, i’ll be on my way! good practice, everyone!” you chirped, finally leaving them.

“l/n’s got some serious determination.” tanaka whistled.

“misplaced determination. they won’t shut up about dating, it’s annoying.” tsukishima didn’t sound as impressed as his loud senpai was.

yamaguchi tilted his head to the side. “really? i would’ve thought tha-”

“shut up.”

a small laugh. “sorry, tsukki.”

it would forever continue, it seemed like. you never thought you’d give it up, you always knew that you liked tsukishima. your heart would pound, your stomach would feel fluttery. but even though you’ve been with him since you were children, it didn’t seem like he’d grown to feel the same. it would get you down sometimes, his mean and harsh words whenever you’d bring it up. either casually, or intentionally.

you couldn’t help being so hopelessly whipped!

you were walking down the sidewalk with yamaguchi and tsukishima, humming along to a new song that had been dropped recently. you were so into it, strumming your fingers like you were the one playing in the recording. tsukishima watched you with critical eyes, but yamaguchi watched as if this was entertaining.

“new song, l/n?” yamaguchi asked you, and you paused the music. you nodded right away, grinning.

“yeah! there’s this kind of new band I found a bit ago, i think around the time you guys met nekoma for that first practice match? their music is so cool!” you could go on and on about them, to be honest. they may be small, and very underground, but you liked them anyways.

“wahh, they sound cool- right, tsukki?” yamaguchi and you both looked behind at him, faces expecting the same sentiment.

he only scoffed.

you roll your eyes playfully, sidling up to him for the first time today. “you want to go get some ice cream, tsukki?” you wished, hoped for him to just say yes for once. your heart was begging at this point.

“get out of my face, l/n.” he said coldly.

with a defeated sigh, you walked a few steps quicker, before unpausing the music. the humming resumed, and yamaguchi glanced back and forth between you both with a weary expression.

“you could try to be a bit nicer, tsukki-”

“they can’t take a damn hint, it’s not my job to be nice about it.” He said stubbornly.

yamaguchi sighed himself, nodding along. there wasn’t a point in continuing the topic; he always shut it down whenever yamaguchi brought it up. he’s never been so aggressive about something before.

interhigh had come, taking up your friend’s time with it. you were upset that they’d be so busy now, but with the new tournament coming, came a new student.

he was friendly, and cheerful, and honestly probably one of the most charming people you’ve ever met in your life. he even looked familiar to you, like you’ve seen him somewhere before. you couldn’t figure it out, so you just opted to the conclusion you must have just passed him down the street at some point. or some strange case of deja vu? either way, he was in your class now.

you were just coming back from the bathroom, your earbuds plugged into your ears like they usually were nowadays.

“l/n, please take your earbuds out, it’s class time.” iour teacher scolded you gently, and you pouted a little. It was just getting to a good part-

you had tugged on them a little too hard, and instead of just getting them out of your ears, they came out of the headphone jack completely.

you were embarrassed as your new favorite band’s music started blasting out of the phone’s speakers, and you hurried to turn it off. You were blushing, laughing at yourself as you went to go sit back down.

ahh, dang! everyone heard that! you were just laughing at yourself in your head now.

there was a tap on your desk, and you turned your face towards the hand. it was the new kid, and his face looked bright.

“you listen to my band’s music?” he whispered to you, his face beaming, and you gasped quietly.

“is this you?” you pointed at your pocket, where your phone rested. he nodded.

“that’s so- wow, i go to school with one of the people in my favo-”

“l/n, do you have something to say about the lecture?”

you shook your head violently, holding back a huge grin. “n-no, miss!” your teacher sighed, and continued past the interruption.

the looks you both shared didn’t go unnoticed by tsukishima.

everyday now, you were hanging around the new kid. you had come to learn his name, which was ishiwaka teruo. you both had hit it off instantly, it was like you guys had known each other forever, and not just a few weeks. it was almost like some crazy twist of fate, or luck. you guys were both alike in a lot of ways, held similar passions, too.

“see you, ishi!” you waved a hand, grinning as he waved a goodbye back. you guys didn’t take the same way home, so he ended up leaving the opposite direction, while you walked with tsukishima and yamaguchi. you were humming again, one of ishiwaka’s band’s songs.

“you seem pretty happy, l/n.” yamaguchi chuckled, watching as you danced a little. 

“oh yeah, you bet! ishi actually invited me to sit in for one of his practices, isn’t that so cool? he plays the bass, and he even offered to teach me a few chords. i don’t really mess with instruments, but-”

“can you shut up about him? all you do is just yap on and on about this guy, hanging out with him isn’t enough for you? what’s so special anyways?” his tone was harsh, and condescending. “if you’re just going to talk about him all the time, i’m not walking with you guys anymore.” your eyes widened as soon as you heard what tsukishima had just said. your heart was pounding, like it had been caught in the act of something terrible. you even felt slightly ashamed.

“wow, nice, tsukki. sorry for being excited about something.” you muttered, clutching your bag straps tight. what did you expect at this point? he didn’t like you as much as you thought, if he was so ready to just leave you behind. yamaguchi sensed the tension between you both, which made him uncomfortable.

you were all quiet for the rest of the way home.

interhigh came and went, the loss against aoba johsai stung the volleyball team, leaving their spirits broken, and cracked. you hadn’t been to the game that day, busy with a certain band member. and your missing presence hadn’t been looked over.

“where were you?” tsukishima had confronted you in the hallways, while you were walking with ishiwaka to the water fountain. it was break, which meant he could freely talk to you now.

you looked away from him, a nervous air around you that wasn’t like you at all.

“i’m sorry i couldn’t make it, tsukki- i heard that you guys lost, and i’m really sorry i couldn’t have been there!” your words were careful and slow, like you were thinking on how to say the right thing to him.

the blonde closed his eyes, and looked off to the side. he didn’t look pleased in the slightest. “were you with your precious band member? like some kind of groupie.” 

ishiwaka raised an eyebrow, and you just shook your head. tsukishima was really doing this right now? you said sorry, what else were you supposed to say?

“you know what, yeah. i was with him. it’s not like..it’s not like i have to be around you or yamaguchi every second of the day, okay?” you sighed. “look, i’ll make it to your next practice, and skip my club activities. is that fine?”

he hesitated, before giving you a curt nod. you smiled in relief. “great! i’ll see you then. now, about that specific measure-”

you had left him behind, and tsukishima had been hit with a realization.

you hadn’t mentioned going on a date at all. not today, not even within the past few weeks. was something wrong with you? he’d gotten so used to that, but now even that wasn’t a constant.

it was like you were slipping away from him, day by day.

and he realized that he didn’t like that.

as the days went on, thoughts about this ran rampant through his mind. it was maddening, he was trying to focus on school, and now, as he was walking to the clubroom, volleyball. he was scarily silent, and yamaguchi caught onto it right away.

“tsukki?” he asked quietly, not wanting to push. but he wanted to know. ever since tsukishima had come back from break that day, he’d been acting strange. he was even saltier, if that was possible.

“am i not enough for l/n?” he spit out the question, like it was a disease.

taken aback, the freckled boy could only blink. the two stopped walking, looking right at each other now. “what?”

tsukishima barked out a laugh, running a hand over his face in frustration. “you heard me, yamaguchi.”

yamaguchi’s jaw dropped. “do you miss them?” was he for real? was this jealousy actually coming from tsukishima?

“hell if i know.” he muttered. but he knew the answer, and that’s what upset him.

“i knew it. tsukki, why did it have to be now, though?” he shook his head in disbelief. at the utter obliviousness of this boy. yamaguchi knew himself that there was something there in tsukishima, something resembling feelings for you. but of course it was when you were no longer always around that he saw it.

“what?”

“l/n isn’t a puppy anymore, they’re not following after you. if you haven’t noticed, they’ve given up. you need to do this yourself, and fix it.” yamaguchi stated. he wouldn’t be lying if he said that he’d been frustrated with the back and forth between you both, it was so obvious to him, but apparently not obvious to tsukishima. or you, for that matter.

“i know that.” he muttered. he would have to confront you about this. was he stupid? why didn’t he get this before? 

“then do something about it.”

tsukishima was quiet.

it was decided by him that he’d catch you outside of practice, since you said you’d be coming to watch. it was a quick, and impulsive decision from him, but he needed this to be figured out. his head was at it’s most unclear, and that was affecting him.

you were affecting him.

he looked around the outside of the gym, trying to see if he could spot you coming. it took a minute, before he saw a figure off to the side. it was you, he could tell by that bag anywhere. he stepped out, only to be met with the full picture.

you were with ishiwaka, and you were kissing him.

tsukishima hurried back into the gym with a stone-cold expression. oh. so this is where he stood now.

no longer at the top of your list, no longer important.

you walked into the gym, beaming. it angered tsukishima, more than he should have been. he yanked your arm, and held you by them with a vice grip. you looked up at your friend with nervous, maybe even scared eyes. you hadn’t seen tsukishima like this before.

“what is he to you?”

you blinked. “wh-what?”

“who is he to you? that little bass player.” his eyes were searching yours, for anything, anything that he could hold on to. you didn’t respond, only looking away from his intense stare.

your eyes didn’t hold that same look that they used to whenever you looked at him. 

he had his answer. and he didn’t like it. so he let go of you, maybe for real this time. things had changed so much, right under his nose. and he had let it happen.

summary. - in honour of the blue moon this year, the student parliament decided to hold a blue moon gala for the school. along with that, they created an activity. you pay $1.50 for either a lock or key. each lock and key have a pair with the opposite pendant (you would know if they were your partner if the key can unlock the lock). the person you pair with is your partner for the gala. mina thinks it’s fucking stupid. donghyuck, well—he’s always looking for some excitement in his life—but deep down he just wants someone who doesn’t like him for just his reputation.

taglist. - @oc-helps​ @jiheonie​ @philanarose @jiye0n0 @eommayaaaaaasehunnieee @softrenjunnie​ @mark3le // lemme know if you’d also like to be added!

a/n. - i am realizing how much actual writing there’s gonna be in this series😭 obviously it’s still gonna be socmed but yk there’s probably going to be a bit more actual writing in this au compared to other smaus by other ppl so uhhh sorry abt that?? but also not bc this is how i wanted it to go 😔 hopefully nobody minds it too much haha

𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔. | 𝒏𝑒𝒙𝒕.

𝑏𝒍𝒖𝑒 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒎.𝒍𝑖𝒔𝒕

Mina whipped her head towards the sudden disruption, trying to see who it was.

Out of the changeroom doors came tumbling out two boys, a third one following behind them with his hands deep in his shorts pockets.

Mark let out an exasperated sigh, "Guys, stop! We have a guest!"

One of them turned towards the group and his eyes widened slightly, pushing the other off of him and getting up. He approached the three of them with a sly grin tugging at his lips.

"Woahhh, who's the chick?" he asked, looking the girl up and down. Renjun slapped him on the back, “shut the fuck up, Hyuck.” he spat.

By now, the entire team had come to see what the commotion was about. The pairs of eyes on her caused Mina to shift uncomfortably on her feet.

She took this time to get a good look at all of them, only having ever seen them on the court and occasionally around the school—and there were always a lot of people surrounding them during those brief moments.

Lee Jeno—god, Mina wouldn't be able to count the number of times she'd seen girls write his initials and draw tiny little hearts around them in their notebook with an infatuated look on their faces. She wondered how he was able to still be polite after having to constantly reject confessions—she would've snapped long ago if it were her.

Zhong Chenle and Park Jisung, the dynamic duo, Mina had heard. They were a year younger, yet they could play better than someone with years more of experience. Jisung was incredibly tall, looming over everyone else with a bored and stoic look on his face. Chenle, on the other hand, looked very happy-go-lucky, which was surprising.

But what surprised Mina the most was Na Jaemin.

God, was he intimidating.

He stood there with a stone-cold expression, not a single ounce of emotion could be seen along the lines of his terribly attractive face. He wasn't as tall as Jisung, yet his presence cast a shadow over her that sent chills down her spine.

Lee Donghyuck, the ringleader of their little group. The one everyone's been told to stay away from—yet they get pulled to him like a magnet. It's like a cocky smirk was permanently etched onto his face no matter the situation. His arrogance screamed dominance.

Frankly, Mina was terrified. She stared at the popular group of boys, who had built such a name for themselves, as they stood in front of her so casually.

Before, they seemed so... untouchable. This was just strange.

Chenle gasped. "Renjun hyung, you never told me you got a girlfriend!" he suddenly exclaimed, his look of shock turning into one of excitement.

Mina's eyes widened, turning her head to look at Renjun who looked equally as shocked.

"Wh- she's not my girlfriend!" He sputtered.

Mina shook her head, sucking air in through her teeth, "Catch me in my grave before I ever date this freak," she said in disgust, causing Renjun to roll his eyes.

Jeno snorted, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Alright then. And what's your name, Ms. Smartass?"

She clicked her tongue, "Park Mina."

"Park Mina..." Jisung suddenly said, his low tone startling the girl. "You're best friends with Yoo Celine, right?"

Mina slowly nodded her head, confused at the random question. "Yes...? Me and Renjun both are."

Jisung turned his head over to look at Jaemin, whose eyes at noticeably gone wider. They shared a look before Jisung turned back to the girl in front of him.

"Well, you see, Jaemin hyung has-"

Jaemin smacked Jisung on the back of his head, eliciting an 'ow what the fuck' from the boy.

Mina raised an eyebrow and looked between the two of them before turning away, just to be met with the face of Donghyuck.

His dark eyes bored into hers as they exchanged eye contact. Mina shuddered under his strangely piercing gaze.

Mark sighed and clapped his hands together. "Alright, no more wasting time. Come on, guys. Give me 5 laps around the court then we'll start scrims straight away." he said, heading towards the court.

Everyone complied wordlessly, following behind their captain. Mina looked at them one last time before walking up the steps of the bleachers.

Right okay I never actually got myself to write this fic so have my notes for the fic except I haven’t read through them since June when I wrote them and I refuse to edit anything

Right is bakery au but not

Neil either turned down the offer of exy for the foxes or for coach whatever the fuck his name was

He got caught earlier tho which is . Unfortunate

Stuart still comes in

Maybe I’ll have him move back to Britain for a while? To avoid the moriyamas n stuff

He NEVER misses a match of the ravens/foxes tho

Which leads to him seeing the frankly sickening interview of Kevin and riko

Neil is like yo Stuart let me start smth

Stuart is like Neil the only reason you’d go back to the states right now is if you did smth that you could hide and you can’t do that for shit

So Neil is like yk what I’m gonna find a way bc I’m not letting this kid go through this (Andrews quite into this idea when it’s shared)

So he says yo. Stuart. Uncle. Sir. Let me open a bakery or something in the states

Stuart is like no you fucking idiot

And Neil is like but c o n s i d e r

You can get info or smth

Just have another business in the states yk

AND I’d get out of your hair

And Stuart is like hm okay but you’ve gotta live in a complex I choose for you

And Neil is all only if I can choose where it’s gonna be

It’s a deal

He (very obviously) chooses a place near palmetto

Stuart is tired but is like he’ll be under protection n shit so I guess??? And he’s not stupid enough to start something right. Right.

Wrong.

Anyways.

It’s a bakery that starts out kinda slow

But Neil finds he likes baking and Stuart pays for his nephew to have some sort of normal life so it doesn’t matter too much

Renee starts to frequent it

At first it’s to pick up sweets for Andrew

But eventually she starts bringing Allison on dates there bc they have a cute little seating area (figure where Seth fits in? I think he’ll survive?)

Uhhh what’s a timeline

I think this’ll be around the winter holidays (Jewish neil? Look into it)

So thanksgiving will have happened . I think Andrew agreed to go Not bc he particularly wanted to but bc he cares for Nicky and knows he’ll probably go anyways

Yeah so thanksgiving. h

Andrew JUST got off his drugs and he’s so damn protective of his own that he hardly even leaves their sides

Edens is a def no for em

Meanwhile Neil is tentative friends w Renee who has brought all the upperclassmen there a few times

Allison bullies him for his clothing but it’s okay he deserves it

Renee is sweet and stops em from doing anything too drastic which Neil appreciates

Matt,, my baby,, he’s so happy he just asks Neil about random stuff

Dan is sweet too!!

Seth kinda hates him but Neil hasn’t paid enough attention to return the favor

One day close to the winter banquet the upperclassmen are like yeah Neil we’re gonna go to this thing and it should be really fun!! Oh you know what? Our teammate Nicky needs a date and his cousin doesn’t really like anyone from his class and he’s super fucking crazy abt it so if that doesn’t deter you then you should totally join !

Neil is like oh chance to fuck up Riko? Absolutely I’ll go

ALLISON DRESSES HIM

HE LOOKS SO GOOD

when he and Allison emerge from the girls room Aaron is like Who is that

And Allison is “oh nickys date (:”

Andrew gets twitchy and holds a knife to her throat

Renee is like Andrew I stg get away from my gf and Seth is like manic pixie nightmare fuel I’m gonna beat the shit outta you

And Neil is just like same shit every day I guess

And he’s like so you’re Nicky then? COMPLETELY IGNORING YK. ALL THAT

Andrew is like “he is. Don’t touch him”

And Neil straight up says I don’t think you get to set boundaries for people, actually

And Neil has no idea what the effect is of that on Andrew but it’s enough to make him glare

Which is terrifying to everyone but Neil bc again. Dumbass

Anyways Neil very purposely hooks his arm through nickys and they head off to the bus

Dunno what happens there but I’ll figure it out

RIKOOO ROASTTT **AIRHORNNNNSSS**

It’s glorious

Kevin and riko are like who the FUCK are you

And Neil is all wouldn’t you like to know weather boy

They relocate and they’re all like . Ah. That’s why you and Renee get along

It’s kinda funny ngl

Andrew doesn’t think so but fuck him

I think that they head back to the bus when this shit I’d over and wymack is like excuse me what the fuck

And Aaron in german is like thank god he never joined the team bc I could not handle more of that

And Neil in German is like would you believe me I’d I told you I was almost signed

And Andrew is like I fucking Knew it I hate it here

N e ways things go back to normal for the most part

The upperclassmen still show up

Seth has a bit of grudging respect for him

It’s later that all the foxes are getting drunk from a lose that Renee calls him and is like Neil please can I usher them inside for a bit I think they need a place to chill so we don’t get yelled at for being too loud in the dorms

And Neil is like uhh sure why not

It turns out it was not just the upperclassmen

He gives them all water bottles and whatever and lets them lounge around

Gives em some food which they pay for w the coachs card

Uhhh idk time passes and some of the foxes pass out so neil is like y’all can chill in the break room? They have couches

He stays out there bc the bakery is still open

Andrew comes out like hey fuck you but also can I get more of those pastries

Idk I want them to be in love already

Uhh yeah I think they don’t say anything until

“what happened to your face”

“A truth for a truth?”

“If you must insist”

“Fine, my father tried to kill me”

Andrew raises his eyebrow but neils like bitch you said a truth for a truth it’s your turn now

Neil asks him why he wears arm bands

We get the whole knives and scars

They’re quiet again

I don’t know man let them be in love

Uhhh okay

I think Andrew will tell neil like

“[code]”

“Huh”

“That’s the code for the court, Kevin practices at night.”

Neil is like how would you know I’d enjoy playing exy? And andrew is like dipshit that’s how we met

I’m running out of ideas oh no

Maybe they play a couple of night game things

Exchange a few more truths

OHHH OKAY COOL SO THEN NEIL CAN GO TO EDENS W THEM THE WHOLE “DOESNT MEAN I WOULDNT BLOW YOU” THING CAN STILL HAPPEN

sick okay! They start dating but since Baltimore happened earlier they never actually come out to the rest of the team

I like to think when they play against the ravens again neils like haha babe you can have as many sweets as you want if you shut down the goal

Also Neil says it’s hot which is like a big thing to persuade Andrew but shhhhh

Yeah the foxes win they celebrate by getting drunk and they all show up at neils like hello again (:

Same thing happens but this time andrew and Neil are together and basically are doing nothing but making out

At least the store is closed

Nicky comes out and just YELLS

YALLLLLL COME LOOK @ THIS SHIT

Allison wins SO much money

Yeah idk how to end this but happily ever after :3

If you want me to turn this into a fic I will!

i’m going through your masterlist heehee ;)))

ah first off, nice theme! i never could rlly see it before because i’m always on mobile heehee. also sorry for not reviewing them before??? i don’t usually read fics on tumblr as you’ve probably guessed;;

anyways, IM GON REVIEW THE SHIT OUT OF THESE >:DDDD

far from home -  bucky x stark sister!reader

firstly, i like how youre introducing the reader from buckys pov, like you can sort of already gather what shes like from them

‘Bucky can hear Tony’s soft inhale, feel the intensity of the man’s glare directed at Steve. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but a twitch of muscle would be enough to alert both men that he’s here. With the amount of tension crackling in the air, a brush against the wall would be equivalent to a thousand cymbals crashing in cacophony.’

IM CRYING ALREADY. the imagery in here is GLORIOUS. your tone here is so fitting! oo and the alliteration here is perfecto

ooooooo!! the backstory coming in  👀👀

‘despite what some people think that Steve and Captain America are two different personas, there will always be parts of Steve in the Avenger, and parts of the Avenger in Steve. They both want to believe in something good. They are, after all, one in the same.// Just as how Bucky and the Winter Soldier are the same man despite everything. HYDRA simply amplified the hate, fertilized the seeds of rage, curated the quiet thunder within his soul, within James Buchanan Barnes so that the Winter Soldier could thrive.’

yIKES! lol this is very character study like! nICE. it hurts tho, my poor children, i love you both 

oo ‘starlight eyes’ that is a very nice way of describing them

‘“Then what was London?” The protesters. “São Paulo?” The earthquake. “Vancouver?” Freezing cold water.//“Look, I care if Stark’s gonna run us over trying to find her. I care enough because she’s part of our team. Come off it, Steve. I know she can take care of herself. I’m gonna take a nap. Dr. Cho said no partying post-Singapore and what do you know, we throw the biggest party ever.’

ooo singapore uwu and london? (coincidence? haha jkjk) and the hints abt reader and buckys background are so good?? but so annoying??? like i just wanna KNOW yknow?? 

‘The water runs copper and the sting bites at his palm as he tries not to think. Tries to focus on the numbing cold that runs over his skin.’ 

your imagery is so vivid?? im actually in awe??? i am so regretful i havent kept reading your fics. like i know they are amazing, i just keep putting them off??? idk man. hopefully this makes up for it (gd tho, im still not done with commenting on one fic. this is what im doing with my motivation teehee ;)

‘ He feels weak. Tired. He wants to go back to bed but he also wants to stay out in the sun for a few hours more. The sun kisses his skin through the windows and he squints against the blue sky, wondering ‘

mood during this quarantine lol

‘“Oh, right.” Your voice is flat, uninterested, cold, as you stare at him. “You killed my parents.”Shit.‘

 OUCH LMAO THATS C O L D, O GOT +100 PHYSIC DAMAGE FROM JUST READING THAT

ooo robin as a nickname noice. very much gives me batman vibes lol

oh! and the way of doing the ‘flashback’ is neat! very original. it both tells us what happened AND buckys reaction to it again. he can re-analyse himself and reader. very cool

‘If you walk away now, don’t bother coming back!” Silence. Bucky can hear his own strained breathing, your soft sigh as you soaked in his ultimatum.’

👀👀 yikes that ultimatum. :// not good bucky. tbf theyre both trying to hurt each other but Yikes

eyy!!! readers pov!! finally! and the switch after we find out the outsiders pov? brilliant

oh no :(( more angst

‘When’s the last time you saw your therapist?”“Don’t have one. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself.”’ they BOTH need therapists;;;;

very good fic!!! :DD they rlly do hate each other! i definitely like how you went back and forth with the timeline! it gave me a v strong idea on what yn was like even before we rlly got introduced. i am now very curious on where reader is? i love your characterisations! 

i will read the 10k+ fics but heck the last one took me ages lolol (i will comment in the future tho!! i promise <3 ) (that took me over an hour jjhghgdjh)

slipping away- amnesiac modern bucky x reader

omg,,, AMNESIA! >:DDDDDD

‘ Put your fucking seatbelt on’

oh no, istg theyre going to have a car crash arent they (’ doesn’t put the seatbelt on to spite you.’ NO PLEASE PUT IT ON U DUMBASS)

ok,,,,, at LEAST he put it on before he got hit, thank heck. but still. youre so cruel to your poor characters lmaoo

oh gosh

‘You fall apart slowly, like pieces of you peeling away until you’re nothing more than your broken heart. The sobs that wrack your body are relentless and you shove your forearm into your mouth to muffle your cries. You want to bite into your skin. You want to distract yourself from the agony tearing you to shreds. You want to feel anything but the pain.///Tears sweep into your hair, cloud your vision and your whole face floods with heat as you try to breathe through the pain. You’re cleaved into pieces on that bed, eyes squeezed shut as the tears keep flowing, and your throat burns’

this hurts damn, it is so vivid?? i can really feel it 

i am so glad you got into writing yk?? so glad

NO PLS, TELL HIM. TELL HIM :((( ‘shes nice once you get to know her?? shes known nat for years now!! years!!

oh god ‘he looks younger without the burden of your time together’ this is so angsty omg

‘Well, he was stumbling through his apology and I just let him finish.” Your body fills with warmth as you remember his embarrassed smile, the way he shoved his baseball cap farther down his head, chin tucked to his chest, trying to hide that face. “When he was done, I opened my mouth to say something polite but what came out was ‘You look like someone I’d very much like to kiss’.”

this is so soft i stg im crying in the club

OH SHITTTTTTTTTTT , you left it off like that!!! thats so cruel!!!! i can’t!!! how dare you!!!! :””””””((( im typing this with tears in my eyes ill have u know!!

anyway!!! very good fic!! you could honestly make that into a longfic very easily lol. i felt too many emotions :(( 

i was just about to say where is the fluff!! where is it!! when i saw the next one and yay :))) pls i cant have more angsty stuff rn

.

cookies and rings and things bucky and reader

‘how much do you love me?’ ‘count the snowflakes, multiply by a million’

did you have to start the fic off with such a SOFT line? its so soft! so TENDER 

‘He wonders what kinda insane person wears socks without any clothes on, but then decides that it’s the kind of person who’s fallen in love with him.’  jesus, the soft moments filled with love are the greatest <3

you can write fluff so well, whyd you have to pain me with all that angst ;””””) (1/10 hurt, 9/10 comfort is the way to go lolol) (jkjk ill read the angsty ones too when i have the spoons) (gonna reread that hydra steve one and ik thatll fuck me UP)

‘ Then, he can feel the cold metal of the ring she slid onto her own finger less than twenty-four hours ago and realizes that he had thought a lot of things shouldn’t be possible, and yet they still are. ‘

you literally brought me to tears reading this softness, you have truly found my weakness

‘ She’s so damn gorgeous with flour on her face and eye bags beneath her eyes that he’s sure she will inevitably make his heart burst ‘

he already likes her so much! i can’t believe this is affecting me so much :’)

‘Bucky is quite sure Sam is in love with his girlfriend in the fact that he’s in love with the fact that his girlfriend is possibly in love with Bucky’

this is so soft??? sam loves reader bc reader loves bucky sm. pls my hear <3333

you do fluff SO WELL DAMN 

‘F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice echoes in his small little perch and he still thinks it’s weird without having the side effect of Stark in his suit chasing after him to hear the A.I. but he shoves that uncomfortable feeling of the dead man out of his head. That is too much regret to unpack right now on a mission. ‘

yike bringing back that reminder oof

but thats so soft??? (i am def overusing soft but,,,,, i love it and the vibe) she sent him cookies! god i can feel the love  

‘She expresses her feelings through cooking, which Bucky has learnt the hard way. One time, they got into an argument over something stupid—he can’t even remember what started it—and came to the kitchen at 2AM to see her sitting at the kitchen island crying her eyes out and surrounded by baskets of muffins.’

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 my hEART

you show how much they love each other in so many ways??? i am dying

“Alright, I like it.” Rolling his eyes, he pecks her forehead and she smiles victoriously. It’s so adorable that Bucky, with less than three hours of sleep, adds, “God, I want to marry you.//”“What?”//Oh.Shit.

oh my god! i am literally tearing up!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!

oh shit o am literally crying

your fluff got me crying harder than your angst i hope youre happy

I really hope you enjoy reading this?? i keep forgetting to like text you but i wanted to do something for your birthday. especially in quarantine when everythings gone crazy. one year i swear ill do something REALLY good for you. not making promises bc i hate if i dont. but ill like, learn how to podfic because you D E S E R V E  I T

*akaashi

 IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

ah yes he was obedient and polite and a good volleyball player tho he was chill abt it

and hes considering fukurodani for high school

and visits the local gym with his teammates where theyre having a practice match to see if he should join

and he opens the door and steps inside

for his eyes to widen

and his heart to skip a beat

a blush on his cheeks

as he stares

captivated

at the most beautiful boy hes ever seen in his life, mid leap as hes about to spike the ball

he thinks absently

‘hes a star’

I know that some of y’all non believers think he means ‘at volleyball’

but I say 

to hell with that shit

he meant that in that moment 

bokuto was glowing

‘it was like a blast of ice water to the face’ gay much akaashi

ah yes he sees bo playing volleyball really enthusiastically and immediately grows to love the game

akaashi: Im akaashi keiji im a setter pleasure to make ur acquaintance 

bo: u had me at setter

“akashi-” ‘its akaashi’ “-pls help me practice spikes for a little bit?” 

*ten years later* ‘what part of this is a little bit’

akaashi gets tired

then bo says

“akashi!”

‘it s akaashi ffs’

“ur tosses are the best!!”

and akaashi looks up and sees his beaming face and thinks wow I like being praised

‘incredibly happy’

5 years later akaashi realizes he has a praise kink

konoha: hey if u wanna get out of helping bo ill help u come up with excuses man

akaashi: ah n-no thats ok I dont mind its fun practicing with a star.

konoha: what 

akaashi: i-i mean star player

bokuto gets sad in a match and is taken out and proceeds to sit ‘under the bench so hes not technically benched guys ok hes not benc-’

bokuto from under the bench: akaashi

akaashi looks up and is thrown off by how serious he looks and starts sweating

‘yes’

“practice spikes with me for just a lil’ bit?”

akaashi, already taking off his clothes: yes absolutely

good plays montage

akaashi setting and bo spiking and breathless eye contact is what we live for m’dudes

‘we ae the protagonists of the world’

bokuto looking smoking hot with a soft, rueful grin and his eyes wild

“up until now

[elaeomyxa]

pen emoji (i don’t feel like finding it) abt any of your ocs

(Thank you for sending this even though I've literally never mentioned any of them dkalhfhafskghd)

Ok so Sasha

Her whole gist is she finds Nix in the middle of a fight with a Nightmare in a forest, and ends up saving him. She brings him back to her house because she has the best judgment on what to do with unconscious people who are bleeding out after fighting a monster you never knew existed (/s). She, obviously, begins panicking about having his dead body in her tub until said dead body pulls her out of it, perfectly fine.

She, understandably is like "what the fuck" and Nix, being a Master of Human Emotion is like "oh I'm not human haha wanna come work with me?"

(In reality it's more along the lines of "hey ain't it weird how you can see those dream creatures? Also since you're not associated with us we'll have to wipe your memory of this whole event if you don't join ¯\_(ツ)_/¯")

She ends up joining them, shenanigans ensue, she makes a bunch of friends with her mission group, she gets kidnapped after making a deal with a demon, the whole shebang

Basically what the company (Somn inc., "where dreams come true!") is is just a bunch of people who enter the mindscapes of those plagued by dream creatures to help them sleep peacefully

Most employees are not human, and humans are actually looked down upon because they often have less dream abilities, or none at all.

The company has a whole thing about never showing identities, something about how imagination holds a lot of power with those who have stronger dream abilities can will things into existence, but only if they actually know someone's true form (kinda death note logic)

So they use codenames and never reveal their species

So they go through training, and on their first real mission, Sasha gets badly hurt, and her identity is revealed.

If you remember what I said earlier, humans aren't the most accepted group in this company, or really overall over the groups of sentient folk

So she ends up more or less ostracized by the group, with them talking about how her being human led to her getting hurt, and even saying she should leave if she knew what was best for her.

So now let's backtrack for a sec

Ever since her seventeenth birthday, she's been having strange dreams

She'd find herself in a field of purple flowers, under an endless sky

Ever since she joined the company, she's been seeing a figure on the horizon

Each night she finds herself closer and closer, yet never able to reach it

Now back to when she's just been outed as human

She goes to sleep that night to find the figure right next to her, offering to make her a deal

The figure says that they can make her more powerful, or worthy or whatever

Sasha accepts, and oops! The figure takes control of her body and runs off to the dream realm, a void between mindscapes filled with Nightmares

So Sasha goes missing, and the group is like "oh shit"

They end up going around where Sasha lives, setting up missing person posters and the likes, going door to door, where they meet enfys

I know this is just about one oc and that I'm making it about the whole story so here's some quick background on enfys

E is sort of a conspiracy theorist, e's real paranoid

So naturally when e find out eir friend (and long time crush) has gotten some weird part time job that she often comes back from beat up, e's real suspicious

So the whole time while Sasha was out learning dream stuff, enfys has been worrying eir ass off about her and trying to figure out what's happening

So when the crew comes to eir house with news that Sasha has mysteriously disappeared, refusing to give any more information other than vague answers, e's real suspicious

E ends up interrogating them and they spill the beans, so e ends up joining the search party for her, despite not being able to see dream creatures

So the crew goes on a quest, each having to deal with their complicated backgrounds in order to get in the right state of mind to enter the dream realm

So what's Sasha been doing the whole time? Well, the demon from her dreams (Zea) has been gathering an army of Nightmares to fight the leader of Somn inc

Throughout this she's basically trapped in a place separate from her mindscape, her consciousness, which is more or less the control room for the body

She's been trying to talk Zea down, and learns that her whole vendetta against Somn inc. is because the leader's careless for his workers lead to her father dying on a mission, and ever since she's been trying to gain power to take him down

So Sasha's like "wait you're telling me this corporation who more or less blackmailed me, a seventeen year old into working for them under dangerous situations, is bad? Wack."

So by the time the crew comes back and they have a Big Fight in the dream void area thing Sasha's like "okay everyone can't we just chill and take down a corrupt CEO together?"

The crew, having not been there for Zea's somewhat redemption are naturally like "okay what the fuck" and decide to try and get Zea out of control of Sasha's body

This ends up killing Zea and Sasha

They're all sad and stuff blah blah blah the end

...

Not really though

The story picks up with Sasha and Zea stuck in a void

Sasha's like "you know what? Fuck this."

And Zea's like "bruh I've been working my whole life can't I just give up now?"

And Sasha's like "this whole situation has led to us having to do this together, you got me into this so I'm gonna drag you out if the afterlife with me"

And so Sasha, through sheer willpower (which makes sense because ghosts are formed from the dead refusing to be dead) yoinks them outta the afterlife as ghosts

So. Backtracking again, remember enfys?

Turns out their paranoia kinda stems from them being a spirit medium and being able to see what no one else can, yadda yadda yadda

So enfys has kinda cut emself off from the group, blaming them (but secretly emself too) for Sasha's death

E's like mourning and stuff when e sees Sasha's ghost and is like "what the fuck"

Then e sees Sasha brought Zea's ghost and is like "What The Fuck"

So it's a whole thing where e tries to prove Sasha still Kinda being there to the group

The think e's making it up, or having grief-driven delusions

So enfys goes to Sasha's mom and holds a spirit channeling session or something

So Sasha's mom often has to be away on work trips due to being a single mom, so she's real guilt filled for not spending more time with her

So her mom ends up talking about Sasha's father- who she's never mentioned before- and it turns out he's not human

A demon to be specific, who had to leave her because his job was too dangerous

Huh

So Zea's like "hold up. Describe him."

Enfys is like "what are you doing?"

And Zea's like "shut up, describe him."

Turns out Sasha and Zea share a dad

I don't have the whole thing planned out but the group reunites and they end up taking down the corrupt company, the Nightmares, as it turns out, aren't really that bad and used to have a peaceful symbiotic relationship with humans, they end up returning to how it was, all that jazz, enfys ends up dating a ghost

So now stuff about Sasha in general!

She's a trans gal

She and enfys have been childhood friends, and she's actually been crushing on em for a while

She's latina

At the beginning she's actually kinda naive, which leads to the whole "making a deal with a random demon" thing, and by the end she's still trusting, but not to a fault

She's actually really resourceful, and can talk her way out of many situations

She's just. Neat.

She's also kinda the backbone of the whole team

She's really a lot more useful than she gives herself credit for

#jeez this just ended up being a recap of the story huh #long post #also this would be a lot longer if i didn't limit myself to mainly talking about her #'cause i have lots to say about this story lol

[transvladking]

(1/5) Hello, this is the 4/2 anon from before! Thank you for your response!! I see what you mean about how Monoma really shouldn’t know the depth of how bad Bakugo feels about the shebang and how a different approach would have worked as well. But I don’t think Horikoshi-sensei is insinuating that Monoma knows how bad Bakugo felt… (disclaimer: this is separate from the previous stuff. Viz changed my impression of the scene)

(2/5) I think the phrasing MAY be just a translation thing on MS’s part (see Viz’s as an alternative, though I don’t know what they translated Bakugo’s line as or what the original lines were); when I read it I felt it was a style choice (the cadence or something gave me a “kakkoi” feeling). Also, I think the media and populace both view All Might’s last fight as his fall since he retired afterwards, so it could be the phrasing isn’t that rare?

(3/5) And further, looking closer at Viz’s translation—it seems that rather than fishing for a response, Monoma is buying time and furthering his statement from before (class that stands out in all the worst ways). It follows logically that Monoma would bring up Bakugo and All Might’s downfall. Bakugo stood out in a bad way, got caught, etc. So rather than saying sth abt how Bakugo feels, he could just be saying that the troublemaker finally got punished rather than lauded? Or sth.

(4/5) Poking at the poor control Deku has is a cool idea actually! I woulda liked to see that haha. Re: his quirk, yeah, we’re super up in the air. Honestly I’d love it if any contact worked and I really hope Deku’s OFA development doesn’t cut Monoma’s screentime to show what the team came up with/stuff. I saw one post about Monoma being a living stem cell and thought that was such a cool way to put it; would love to hear about your hcs!

(5/5) I did see somewhere that Horikoshi-s said he intended to do more w Monoma but didn’t cuz of negative reception, and that he felt he was weak-willed when the manga had just started gaining popularity, but I can’t find any direct sources for either… (Horikoshi pls don’t shaft the kid anymore thank) This ended up longer than I expected srry!! I wanted to say sth about the “targeting the exact person” thing but I will save it. Thanks once again!!

I love you coming into my inbox its been so long since people have actually discussed this with me omg

I definitely think he’s buying time, but I also think he’s trying to get Midoriya to talk. And for sure, he was leading up to that comment with his talk about blessed people ruining the world (which, i love as an insight to his character) but the line, at best, feels clunky.

In his ‘intro panel’ in that chapter, he’s holding 3 pocketwatches. Now, we know Monoma uses them to track his quirk, so we can insinuate he’s got three copied at the moment.

1) Reiko’s

2)?

3)?

So it’s entirely possible he’s using Shinsou’s, which Midoriya is taking into account. And I think he’s saying Bakugou SHOULD be punished, that he should feel bad, because everything Class A does brings trouble to the school, and I suppose, All Might.

I think Deku’s OFA thing is a way to avoid showing us what happens if Monoma copies his quirk. I really do. Horikoshi likely won’t show it, imo. But if he does, I will be pleasantly surprised! But I think what’ll happen is this:

1) teachers do their fucking jobs for once and stop the match

2) no one can decide which team officially wins blah blah

3) they go their separate ways with all might talking to deku abt ofa

4) Class B goes back to never doing anything at all because god forbid the spotlight not be on midoriya and/or bakugou for 10 minutes

I think the comment you’re talking about in regards to Horikoshi is on Monoma’s char page, where he didn’t want monoma to be so hated? He just meant him as that one kid who doesnt shut his dumbass self up ever, but feels like he boned the whole thing up 8 ways to sunday, but that “There’s a reason he’s not the class president, he just spouts off”

re: quirk headcanons

the stem cell thing may have been me or someone else bc thats what i talk about A LOT in regards to his quirk

What I personally believe is that Monoma produces. a LOT of stem cells, as well as a special kind of cell, which I will call the REV cell (because i consider it a reverse virus, of sorts)

When he absorbs DNA through his skin (and possibly other methods, like how Toga drinks blood?), the REV cell picks up the line of ‘code’ dealing with the quirk and injects it into Monoma’s stem cells, causing them to differentiate into the needed components to make the quirk Work. After the quirk dna runs out, the stem cell undifferentiates and he drops the quirk. Hence, the time limit.

We know from one of the light novels he can pick up dna from clothes (he uses aizawa’s quirk after handling his clothes in the laundry room), so I think my DNA theory has some weight to it itr

The reason he can’t use two quirks at one time? DNA overload. His cells just aren’t equipped to splice together genetic material, so the cells become overloaded, cannot function, and die off in mass amounts. And, as we all know, cell necrosis…not good. So, if he tried to force them to use more than one, he might lose something in the process.

I also like to think that his palms/fingertips have miniature barbs, like a cat tongue, to help better pick up DNA. sandpaper man. But that’s just me lol

hayyyy if u feel like doing a daiya prompt, how abt miyusawa + first date! otherwise, i request viktuuri + first vacation together (anywhere is fine, even if its a staycation haha)! hope u feel better 💙

OMG I am SO nervous to post this! Also, it is more of a first kiss, asking out on a first date… but if I don’t completely donk it up, I am willing to keep going into the first date :p

Disclaimer: I have not watched all of Daiya yet (which you know since we watch together lol) so I am going with the characterization that I know so far. Also, Chris is here briefly… because… you know… I love him LOL

The ball smacked into Miyuki’s glove for what felt like the hundredth time that afternoon. Glove positioned slightly above his left knee, Miyuki flexed his free hand, standing to dump the ball into it and wing it back at Eijun as hard as he could.

“Something wrong?” Chris inquired, the hint of a smirk curling the one side of his mouth.

Jaw clenching, Miyuki threw a look over his shoulder, refusing to lower himself back to the plate, even as Eijun started screeching from the practice mound. “He’s not listening to my calls.”

It had started during the last inning of their afternoon inner-team game which had lead to them both being banished to the bullpen. Apparently, Eijun hadn’t worked his need for defiance out of his system yet and Miyuki wasn’t about to waste a Friday night trying to beat it out of him.

“GET BEHIND THE PLATE AND CATCH!” Eijun shouted from the mound, a small cloud of dirt beginning to rise where he was stomping his feet. When Miyuki only lifted his mask to glare in Eijun’s direction, silently trying to convey his displeasure, Eijun threw his hands in the air. “AND WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?!”

Because you are irresistible even when you’re intolerable, Miyuki thought, choosing to instead say, “because you are making me annoyed with your lack of respect” out loud. He tried to reign in his need to smirk when Eijun halted in his tantrum.

“Your face is annoying me!” Eijun shouted, cheeks burning red as he slammed his mitt on the ground. Hands balling into fists, Eijun stomped toward Miyuki.

Chris didn’t resist his own desire to smirk. These two were on the cusp of forming the most legendary battery that Seido would ever know, but their inability to see past their own blind attraction to each other was throwing a wrench in their progression. Perhaps, in the heat of the setting summer sun and in the midst of the tornado of frustration swirling between them, they would finally sort themselves out. Casually slipping his hands into his pockets, Chris turned his back on the duo and nodding briefly at Rei as he moved in the direction of the dugout.

“If my face is annoying you, do something about it,” Miyuki shoved his mask from his head, standing firm with his back straight as Eijun crowded into his space. He forced himself to ignore the fire in Eijun’s eyes and the fire it was igniting deep inside of Miyuki’s own chest.

“I want to punch you!” Eijun shouted, fists still curled at his side as he bumped his chest against Miyuki’s. It was solid and firm, the way Eijun knew it would be and his mind immediately went in a different direction. “I want to punch your mouth… with my mouth!” He declared, only regretting his statement when he heard Haruichibegan to laugh from his place on the field. “I MEANT-”

“Shut up, Eijun!” Miyuki snapped, dropping his glove and catcher’s mitt onto the ground. “Shut up…” without hesitating, Miyuki pressed his hands against Eijun’s cheeks and kissed him hard.

The kiss was probably bad, although neither of them would know any better. It was wet and warm where their lips connected and over too soon as the team behind them began to cheer. Various versions of “finally” and “maybe we can get some peace now” carried over the field, leaving both Miyuki and Eijun blushing as they pulled apart.

Unable to contain himself, Eijun bent his knees and started shouting “yes, yes, yes!”

The entire team burst out laughing, causing Miyuki to drop his head in embarrassment. “Eijun,” he groaned, voice full of warning, “if you don’t stop that, I won’t take you on a date.” Miyuki’s lips twitched back into a smile as Eijun froze in place, head tilting to look up at Miyuki with a goofy lopsided smile.

Shaking his head, Miyuki rescued his glove and mask from the dirt. Leaving Eijun where he stood, Miyuki looked back over his shoulder. “Be ready at seven. Bathe for real, for once.”

“I’ll bathe if you don’t show up in one of your horrible outfits!” Eijun yelled, suddenly refueled with all his extra-levels of fire. “And leave your terrible hat at home!”

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Miyuki smiled down at his shoes, completely ignoring his teammates jabbing remarks about his fashion sense. As Eijun began to shout back at them, seemingly attempting to defend Miyuki’s honor, Miyuki set off in a jog towards the locker room. He had fallen for the most ridiculous boy he had ever met, and it was the best problem he could ever remember having.

hi its ur horror anon back from the dead i have a question :) ok so like let's say svt entered some horror movie universe i'm curious who do u think would fit which character tropes? like who would be the fool that reads the magic book of the dead out loud or who would think it's a good idea to split up, who still won't believe there's something wrong until literally seconds before they're murdered, u know those sort of things..

this is....the best au question i’ve ever received

seungcheol: the jock type of course. finds the secret chained-up basement and thinks it’s a GREAT idea to check it out. he’s inexplicably friends with the rest of them despite being infinitely more popular, firmly believes nothing is wrong and everyone’s going crazy, & probably dies bc he went off to have sex in the woods

jeonghan: you’d think he’s the one that gets fucked over w/ seungcheol in the woods but nah son, he’s the brainy one that tries finding a way to end whatever’s happening to them. he probably figures out how to solve everything right before he gets brutally killed

joshua: absolutely the clueless one that has no idea what’s happening until he dies. “guys those aren’t people creeping ominously around in the foreboding fog, it’s just deer or smth haha” “what’s with all that fake blood? pretending to be in a horror movie? haha wow your acting is rlly improving lmao y’all wild ok i’m gonna go read in my room for a bit w my headphones on” rip in fucking pieces, josh, you never saw it coming

jun: honestly? the one that gets fucked over bc he went to have sex w/ seungcheol in the woods. probably the one that survives the first encounter and runs to warn the others, heavily injured & traumatized forever. he would’ve lasted longer, honestly, if he didn’t get injured due to seungcheol’s libido fuCKING HIM OVER

soonyoung: he’s the king of stupid decisions. he’s the fuckhead that found the necronomicron and decided to read it out loud in a stupidly exaggerated voice, then when everything fell to shit he panicked & suggested for everyone to split up. he’s more insulted than scared that he’s going to die bc he stumbled through a paragraph of shitty latin in a half-assed british accent than anything else

wonwoo: dude. dude, what the fuck. dude, what the fuck. wonwoo’s not an idiot, he’s the most genre savvy of them all. he carries no loyalties, splits up when one of his dumbass friends gets too slow or too loud, sticks with jihoon or minghao, he doesn’t fuck around. he’s here to survive, and he’s not abt to let someone else’s (or his own) stupidity get in his way

jihoon: tired of everyone’s bullshit. he TOLD them not to go into that creepy ass basement. he TOLD soonyoung not to read that fucking demon book made of human skin or some inhuman shit like that. he TOLD them, and now look at him. he’s improvising weapons with broken beer bottles and kitchen knives tied to broom poles. he doesn’t have time for whatever demonic minion is trying to crawl out of satan’s asshole. he probably lasts the longest tbh, or dies bc he tripped over mingyu’s giant feet at a critical moment

mingyu: dude, he did nothing wrong. he’s a good kid. what did he do to deserve this? he dies from slipping on a puddle of blood or smth at the worst time and gets instantly fucked. at one point he probably says “we’Re aLL in thIS toGETHer” in a high-pitched, cracking voice as everyone starts making a break for it

seokmin: you’d think this sweet boy would die early on, but surprisingly he sticks around for a pretty long time. he’s not very smart in these types of situations, but he stays with jihoon, never leaves his side, and doesn’t get in the way. at one point manages to kill smth ugly and demonic with a shard of broken mirror & jihoon actually looks impressed

minghao: “fuck you & fuck you & fuck YOU” he’s lee jihoon’s most successful protege, except instead of trying to bash in the heads of everything that moves, he just wants to get the fuck out. he doesn’t waste time anywhere for anything. he teams up with vernon and together the two of them figure out a way to survive and escape

vernon: ok, but you KNOW he’s thought through scenarios for every horror trope imaginable a thousand times in his head. he may look chill but he has like 15 different contingency plans for zombies alone depending on location & number of people he’s with. he’s terrified but also highly gratified that his conspiracy theories are being validated. probably has a smug ass grin on his face even as he’s running for his life

seungkwan: hysterically screams anytime something is chasing him. like. bro. shut up. they’re only gonna know where you are if you keep shrieking like that. if you ran fast enough and far enough and hide they won’t find you bc they aren’t fucking omniscient so just shut the hell up seungkwan. minghao almost murders kwannie himself because of his big mouth

chan: bitch, you know he took the first bus outta there the second he saw signs of supernatural tomfoolery going on

#ask answers #horror anon #i died making this #based it heavily on the evil dead #bc thats one of the stupidest & most entertaining movies ive seen so far #Anonymous

Jisung- Accident

Group: NCT- Jisung

Theme: Request- Jisung + dreamies + reader are having a prank war and it goes a lil too far so the reader gets upset so Jisung comforts the reader

Type: one shot- fluff +a lil angst

Plot: You come over to study  with Jisung but instead are greeted by pranks from the door, so your fun, prank-filled day turns around when you find a terrifying surprise in your bag.

”Shh Y/N! You gotta be quiet, we need to sneak around,” Jisung whisper shouts at you, leading you towards the kitchen with a nerf gun in hand and ducking low so no one could see him.

You came over to the dorm to actually study with Jisung, but from the first step into the dorm, as a plate of pie loaded with whipped cream slammed into your face, you knew you weren’t getting any work done today. Seeing how you are only gunna be young once, you decided to go along with the dreamie’s mischievous plans, one after the other. Right now everybody split up into teams to play capture-the-flag and Jisung and you are making your way to the kitchen where a small red flag was proudly waving. A plan acted out in your head as a mischievous smile crept onto your face and you shout loudly, “JISUUUUNGGIEEEE!!!”

Jisung snaps his head to face you and his eyes are wide with shock, “Y/N! Why did you do that? You just revealed our spot!”

You hear loud footsteps and commotion running towards you at an alarming rate so that’s when stand up, nerf gun in hand and a full-fledged smirk etched onto your face. Chenle slings his arm around your shoulder, cheering, and you shoot Jisung as he tries to blot away. Laughter erupts from the group and Jisung looks up at you guys in shook but shakes his head and starts to chuckle as well.

“Dang Y/N, I really thought you were on my side. You’re gunna regret doin’ that to me because I’m gunna get you back, mark my words,” Jisung joking threatens.

“Ooooh Y/N you better be careful now,” Jaemin says, putting his arms up in surrender to emphasis his statement.

“Yea sure, I’d like to see you try Jisung. There’s nothing you can do that can ever bring me down, unlike you,” you jeer with that snarky, lil smirk of yours.

“OOOOHH ROASTED!!!! Dang Y/N, I didn’t think you had it in you, do you wanna be on my team now?” Haechan offers.

“Haha sure. Jisung it’s on,” you say, offering your hand to shake on it.

He narrows his eyes at you and shakes your hand but you jump back in shock because he had a shock patch on his hand. “It’s on Y/N,” he settles with a laugh.

You wince, “Hey that’s not fair,” rubbing your hand.

“You shook on it so that means fair is outta the game now,” Jisung smirks.

You roll your eyes and scoff, "That doesn't even make sense loser. But anyways, we should get a move on from here."

“Yea, I agree. Anyone else hungry?” Mark asks, rubbing his hair.

“Oooh yea, I am,” Jeno says.

“Me too,” Renjun adds in.

“Well then, let’s go to kitchen to grab somethin’ to eat,” Mark says casually, pushing everyone into the kitchen.

A loud thud followed with a “wow” catches your attention and the first thud is accompanied with a few more thuds. You rush over to the kitchen to find most of the guys on floor and you before you could ask what happened, you step onto the tile floor and slip.

“What the- What’s on the floor?” you ask puzzled, lifting your hand to examine the odd substance on the floor.

You hear Mark, Renjun, and Jeno burst into laughter and high-fives from behind you which is followed by angry commotion from the fallen dreamies and yourself. The older members’ laughter increases when you all struggle to get to your feet so finally Renjun says laughingly, “Haha, the buttered floors were a great idea. You all look like little kids learning to stand for the first time, oh this is too good!”

Everyone from the floor sends, or tries to anyways, death glares toward Renjun but his large smile softens their hearts so they let it slide. Mark and Jeno carefully come over to help the others to their feet while Renjun heats up some pizza to eat.

Lunch, for the most part, went prank-free then you all decide to change to hit the swimming pool nearby. You run to grab your bag and lock yourself in the bathroom to change while the others simply change in their room. When you put your hand into your bag, you start to scream as a light, hairy living thing moves beneath your hand. You quickly retract your hand and clutch it as a huge tarantula slowly crawls out of it and your scream only increasing as you open the door to escape. You bump into Jisung immediately and he holds you as tears start to stream down your face in fear. You bury your head into his chest as the smirk he once had quickly disappeared and turned into a worried appearance. The others quickly rush over to find you sobbing and Jisung being unable to explain the tarantula he put into your bag.

Jisung tightens his awkward grip on you in a sort of reassuring manner, “Hey Y/N... I..I’m really sorry. I didn’t know you were that scared of spiders. If I had known I wouldn’t have done that. I’m really sorry, please stop crying. I promise I’ll stop bothering you but you gotta admit it Y/N, I did find a way to bring you down.”

You snicker mildly then sniffle as you hit his chest lightly, “Shut up Jisung. You know you’re really bad at this, you should just stop talking and keepin hugging because that’s the only thing that’s good right now.”

“Is it a good thing?” Jisung jokes.

“Oh gosh, shut up,” you say shaking your head.

“Hey are you smiling?” he asks, holding your shoulders softly to see your face.

“Me, smiling? What, at your lame joke, over my dead body!” you exclaim.

“Oh that can be arranged Y/N. Hold on, now where is that tarantula?” he jokingly asks, moving towards the bathroom.

“No, no!” you plead with wide eyes, still filled with terror.

“Too soon?” he asks softly.

You nod as you pull out a can of silly strings from your back pocket and spray it in Jisung’s hair.

“Wah! Hey what's this?” he exclaims loudly, removing the green silly string from his hair.

He quickly tries to snatch your can but you just spray it at him again so he grabs your hand and spins you around to hide behind you as you drain out all the silly strings.

He holds you in a odd back-hug, sorta-thing and says, “I really am sorry for making you cry Y/N, I promise I’ll never go out of hand like that again.”

You turn around to face him and reply gently, “Jisung it’s ok, I know you didn’t mean for that to happen.”

“Yea but I really scared you with that tarantula and it’s not ok to make you cry like that,” he adds in quickly, in a bitter tone.

“Hey, really it’s ok, it was just an accident Jisung,” you reassure.

“Are you sure? I promise I’ll make it up to you ok?” he says softly.

“Jisung? Are you turning all soft on me? Whattt? I never thought I’d live to see the day for mischief master Jisung, to become a lil softie,” you tease, pinching his cheeks.

“Oh just kiss already!” you hear someone shout. You turn your head to see the dreamies not-so-sneakily hiding behind a wall, watching you two.

You feel your face turn red and you step away from Jisung as you hear Mark reply, “No! Didn’t you hear Renjun earlier, they are just kids barely learning to stand.”

You feel something hairy crawling up your calf so you scream and jump back into Jisung’s arm, crying out, “Ahh, Jisuunggg, whyyyy!!” He chuckles but holds you away from the admittedly, scary looking tarantula.

*ok I know I say this abt every request but this was really fun to write

*can ya’ll just imagine if you saw a tarantula, I would diee oml
