Okay, but. SWK Truth serum au. Imagine him being forced to communicate. Comedy, hurt/comfort, and finally clearing up, well, everything. I’m not sure where I’m going with this, sorry. Have a great day, bye!

“You know who broke the toaster, Monkey?” The word “yes,” was pulled out feeling forced and unpleasant. Pigsy looked like he already knew the answer before he asked. Wukong wasn’t sure why he bothered asking at all. “Who?” “I did.” “Of course…” Pigsy pinched the bridge of his snout and sighed before looking at him, brows furrowed with some familiar annoyance that made Wukong’s hands twitch. “Mystic Monkey strength and all that I bet.” Not a question so Wukong just gave him a forced smile instead of answering. He glanced away to look over at where Mei and Mk were arguing over whether it was sane to put butter on plain bread without toasting it first. “Nothing to say for yourself?” Pigsy asked after a long moment of silence. “No,” the words slid out, unraveling, too many. It made him lightheaded the more he said, not unlike the feeling that came with blood loss. Dizzying and empty. Every word took something with it as it left him. “It never matters what I say.”

Anon you have no idea how desperately I want to write an entire fic about this, I have been thinking about this constantly since you sent this ask bKL;SDMAFAOWEF

#knox rambles #KNOX WRITES (me)#Monkie Kid #LEGO Monkie Kid #i KNOW YOU LITERALLY SAID COMEDY BUT I'D VEER SO HARD INTO ANGST YOU HAVE NO IDEA BGLKAMOWEFMSD #watch the crew realize exactly how messed up Wukong's belief system is #watch one of them ask 'you don't really believe that right?' and then realize that he believes it as truth and fact because he can't lie #so he's telling them what he believes is the truth #watch them be horrified #watch Wukong hate how they look at him #watch how he sways on his feet when they ask too many questions because the serums pulling stuff from him he doesn't want out #watch him resign himself to their anger because he can't deflect with jokes or lightheartedness when it won't let him say anything but the #truth when they ask him a question #I'M GOING FERAL I TELL YOU #YELLS #Monkey King | Sun Wukong #WATCH LITTLE THINGS TRIGGER HIM LIKE BROKEN TOASTERS AND LIGHT SCOLDINGS AND HAVE NO WAY TO HIDE THAT IT HURTS HIM #WATCH HIM RUN OFF ON HIS OWN TO TRY AND FIX IT BECAUSE IT SCARES HIM #GODS I'M FINE #I WANT TO MAKE THIS INTO A FIC SO BAD I'M SCREAMING #HGHSDFBSDF;AGB;OAIFMFKKSDF #Asks #anon #THIS IS SO LATE BECAUSE I SO DESPERATELY WANTED TO WRITE SOMETING FOR IT #THIS WAS ALL I HAD BRAINPOWER FOR I WISH I COULD WRITE MORE

Jin Ling vs. The 8 Uncles of Sex Education by Wildcard

Jin Ling vs. The 8 Uncles of Sex Education

by Wildcard

M, 4k, jin ling

Summary: (When Jin Ling turns 13, his uncle tries to kill him. If Jin Ling ever expected a family member to try to murder him, he would’ve thought it would be Jin Chan, that bully, or at least another Jin. He did not expect to be accosted in Lotus Pier, of all places, by his beloved jiujiu. He definitely did not expect his death to involve a comb.) Jin Ling would really appreciate it if his uncles would stop trying to give him the talk. Please. Bad enough to receive it once but to have to listen to it EIGHT TIMES from uncles who are convinced the other uncles didn’t do a good enough job? (And just when he thinks his suffering is over, an uncle COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD to educate him. Jin Ling is cursed.)

Mojo's comments: This was so funny. Poor Jin Ling!

Excerpt: “Brother wished me to impart advice.” A pause, then, as Hanguang-Jun apparently searches the depths of his soul. Against his own better judgment, Jin Ling is agog. Everyone talks about Hanguang-Jun as if he’s made of jade, absolutely free of human desires and lusts. What could he know about marriage beds? “Do not,” Hanguang-Jun says finally with great determination, “kiss people when they are blindfolded.” Jin Ling stares. That’s it? That’s his useful advice? That’s what the great Hanguang-Jun thinks growing boys should learn? Not to kiss blindfolded people? Why would Jin Ling even be running into people wearing blindfolds?!

comedy, jin ling has a lot of uncles, jin ling cultivates embarrassment, background mentions of wangxian, light angst, happy ending, sex education, awkward jin ling, awkward uncles, adorable juniors, crack, humor

Thinking about Aki and Suna's hero lives and civilian lives bleeding together.

When they play dodgeball in gym class, Bert realizes that Aki is dodging much faster than he did a few months ago. His reflexes are sharpened to a knife's point. And the robot doesn't even seem to notice how fast he's moving. He asks Aki about it after class, and he nervously brushes it off, but Bert can't shake the feeling that something's going on to give Aki that sudden skill and awareness of his surroundings.

Suna and Ashley are out for a walk. They got lunch, they went shopping, they're having a fantastic day out. All of a sudden, a Robot Master attacks, and Suna doesn't even panic, she just grabs Ashley's hand and books it, because her first thought is get the civilians out of danger. And when Ashley is tripping over her feet because she can't keep pace, Suna frustratedly turns around, scoops this girl up bridal-style like she weighs fucking nothing, and keeps running. Ashley tries to ask her about it. She changes the subject.

Their friends notice things. They notice how Suna is a little more jumpy and a lot more strong. They notice how, instead of jumping at sudden noises, Aki drops into a combat position and puts a hand on his forearm. They notice how the siblings seem closer than ever, but they're a little more irritable, too.

It's only a matter of time before they put two and two together, but for now, they're still in the dark

#mmfc #mega man fully charged #suna light #aki light #bert wily #ashley adderley #i wish the show explored this aspect more. i wish they had more ladybug-esque moments like this #great comedy. amazing angst. more memorable moments #JESUS why can't kids shows just go the mile

New PiB fic drop!

Title: A Favor for a Life

Summary: Death pops up before Puss one day and informs him that he is going to die soon unless the reaper himself intervenes. Which he is willing to do, for a price. Just a simple favor, he says.

This was how Puss found himself telling the physical manifestation of Karma (along with a slew of other anthropomorphised concepts he didn’t even know had corporeal forms) that he, The Puss in Boots, was indeed courting Death.

#puss n boots the last wish #Puss in boots #pussdeath #deathpuss #fanfic #this idea would not leave my mind #I have three chaps already written #ao3 fanfic #ao3 author #funny #it’s gonna be a comedy #only light angst here this time somehow

(Trollhunters spoilers!)

Angor Rot really did deserve better.

His soul was stolen and he was basically a slave for who even knows how long, and then every time he died (except the last) he was forcefully brought right back to serve again.

He tried to work with Jim, made a deal that would benifit both of them greatly- and sure, we can't know for sure if he would have honored his end of things, but I do believe he would've. Like. At this point, he has nothing really personal against Jim- maybe Claire after she took the staff but that's not quite important here. He does have VERY personal problems with Strickler and Morgana (who Gunmar serves and is going to free if he gets out, which Strickler's plans were leading to)- so severing the soulbond with Barbara and killing Strickler would be easy, bring justice to Strickler and prevent Morgana's return. Also, it is a very good "thanks for my soul back (sort of), sorry for trying to slaughter you and your friends, lets never interact again" gift for Jim.

He flipped out and attacked Jim but 1) in his perspective Jim just suddenly appeared in his cave and that's not cool. 2) Jim was very clearly going to try and put the ring on, so I am not going to be blaming Angor for trying to stop/kill him before he could. The man just wants to be free.

He very clearly hates everything Morgana and Gunmar do, though he does stay with them- and sure, he can't be controlled anymore but what was he meant to do? Morgana would have dragged him back if he left and killed/imprisoned/controlled him if he fought against them. I'm sure about this. But he still voices disagreements, he still calls them out, he still saves Draal after empathizing with him.

And then there's the final battle with Morgana, and Angor betrays her. At this point he does have solid reason to hate Jim and all his friends, but stopping Morgana is leagues more important. I don't think he would've turned on them if he'd survived after she was defeated either, I think he'd want to rest. To finally, for once, rest.

But he doesn't survive. Instead, Jim kills him- or at least starts the process. Sure, Angor was restraining Morgana and it was an opportunity that they could not miss, but. Did he have to impale them both? Did he really? Angor isn't even mad, he accepts it, gives a last line, "well played, trollhunter", he might even approve. But did it have to happen? Morgana may finish the job, but he was already dying. The pieces of his statue are, if I remember correctly, sent into the shadow realm.

And then. They don't even kill Morgana. Not because they didn't want to, it's because they couldn't, and I accept that, but. It feels so bitter. It's unfair.

And what happened to Morgana? She's trapped in the shadow realm, imprisoned in the very same place where Angor now lays dead, in pieces. The Witch and her Champion, inseparable even now. (and if she managed to revive him again? a nightmare.)

And maybe the worst thing is what we see in Wizards; they go back in time, Morgana begins her descent into villainy, and she's cast off a cliff into the water below. Dead. And Angor finds her. In this time of war and hate and bloodshed, in this time humans and magic are at each others throats, when Angor has no reason to sympathize with a human... he carries her body to shore.

Angor cares. Angor is kind. Angor doesn't see a fallen enemy or collateral damage- and also, trolls eat humans, Gunmar talks about this, but Angor doesn't fish Morgana's body from the water to eat as if she were some fish or something. Not even close.

He takes her because even if she's dead already she should be shown this respect at least. He lays her on the bank, he prays for her in death, and then he leaves. And the Arcane Order take her body, so easy to find and reach thanks to Angor, and they bring her back to life.

They bring her back and she rises to power and eventually Angor comes to her for help, and we all know how that ends.

Angor cared for the soul of a stranger, and so got his taken away.

#i do think that angor might have seen the peace in death #maybe even thought it prefferable to living like he has #but I also don't believe he *wanted* to die #he fights tooth and nail to live. to reclaim his soul. to be FREE.#I think he would have been happy to get to be free AND survive #he'd probably be at least mostly solitary #but I imagine him sitting in the forest on a clear night. the sounds of the forest are comforting.#he has no enemy to be wary of. he has no target or prey to hunt.#the light of the stars is so much gentler now.#i imagine him smiling. not out of malice or pride or anything of the sort. he smiles because... well.#because I like to imagine that he is happy.#but that's not what happens #he dies. his 'master' outlives him. he is forgotten. he dies and it's not even that that let's them defeat morgana.#he dies for nothing.#anyway. this is your cue to write more fanfic and draw more art centering around/including angor.#I expect to see angor content on my desk by the end of the week.#I don't care if it's angst or comedy or fluff or hurt/comfort #I just want to see my boy #angor rot #trollhunters #tales of arcadia #toa #morgana #jim lake jr #wizards

Love Rivarly: 42. question

kaveh x reader

Kaveh's and your laughter can be heard through out the restaurant. Despite trying your hardest to not disturb the other guests by muffling your laughters with a piece of cloth, the stares from them means otherwise. Though, their stares are nothing compared to a certain green-haired man's glare.

“I can still feel Tighnari’s death glare,” Kaveh jokingly laughs, referring to the death glare he received a while ago after sending out the tweet.

“Well it’s because he is still glaring at you,” You say, tilting your head towards Cyno’s and Tighnari’s table.

“It isn’t our fault though. They started it!” He playfully pouts with his eyebrows furrowed, a displeased yet playful expression, “Maybe if they didn’t comment about us on our phones they wouldn’t be targeted.”

You laugh, however you try to keep the volume down to not disturb the other customers. Kaveh smiles as he stares at your laughing self in adoration, who knew his and your relationship would come to this? He’s happy, almost as if all of his burdens, guilt, and anger went away; However, the unresolved question about your past relationship with his roommates creeps his mind like a snake. Kaveh wants to be serious with you, court you, however he needs to know what happened.

But, does he have the right to ask? Should he wait for a few weeks before asking you?

Kaveh has always been an overthinker, so he can’t help but think this way. His joyful smile slowly turns into a sorrowful one as he dwells on his thoughts. He wants to know, but he can’t help but feel scared.

Your past relationship with Alhaitham is a mystery, a mystery he wants to discover, but has no courage in doing so.

Haha. If only there was a glass of liquor near him.

You stop laughing as you notice the gloom in Kaveh’s expression. You slightly tilt your head curiously, wondering why he is so deep in thought.

“Hey, Kaveh. Are you alright? What is on your mind?” You ask him.

Kaveh slowly looks up, a painful smile on his face as he gathers up all of his courage. He needs to ask you, even though depending on your answer, he could leave this restaurant in a heartbreak or in relief.

“[Name], may I ask you a question?” He stares at you, his eyes have a mix of sorrow yet determination, making you feel a bit uneasy. He wants you, and this fact alone is enough to give him courage.

“Of course.”

Kaveh deeply inhales as he fidgets his fingers under the table, preparing himself to ask you the question.

“What is your relationship with Alhaitham?”

Your eyes widen in surprise, “You don’t know?”

Kaveh looks at you confused. Did you assume that he knows? But why? “Am I supposed to know?”

“Well, you’re Alhaitham’s roommate, I thought you’d have an idea,” You say.

Ah.

Kaveh shakes his head, “Alhaitham and I don’t have the best relationship. Plus, he was never the type to share his endeavors.”

You stare at Kaveh for a bit before sighing, hands on your chest with your head relaxed “That’s a relief.”

Kaveh stares at you dumbfounded, “Huh?”

“I thought he said something bad about me.”

"Well, other than talking about his group projects with you, he has never spoken of you.”

“Is that so,” You say.

You press your lips, “How should I explain this…”

Kaveh prepares himself.

You continue, “I guess it started during the 1st year of college.”

main m.list | series m.list | previous | next

JUST TO CLARIFY

you and alhaitham are research partners. out of boredom you texted alhaitham that youre in a cat cafe and he joined you for the project

you posted a picture about it and your friends saw

you and childe have this joke to act like lovers so when childe saw you have a "date" with someone he started to act like he was cheated on and you followed cause ITS A JOKE

however instead of saying you were cheating on him with alhaitham as a joke you used ayato

also this "cheating" incident started the inside joke in the friend group about cheating lovers (see bios on [name]'s friend group profile introduction)

childe and ayato are NOT friends yet, ayato is still in inazuma and this is their first time interacting with one another. however childe knows about ayato because you, scara and heizou are his friends so he just heard of him lol

SYNOPSIS You’ve been rejected by your academic rival, alhaitham, without even confessing or having feelings for him. You decided to go to a party to fix your damaged ego, so why are you suddenly making out with his roommate?

comfort. || robbie reyes.

roberto reyes - ghost rider || vague angst, comfort, light comedy reader not referred to as y/n, no gendered terms

Fighting evil gets tiring, you guessed, as your boyfriend -- Roberto -- walked (more like dragged himself in, but you weren’t going to comment on his state) into your shared apartment.

It wasn’t a big apartment, but it was cozy and felt like home even if one of the occupants wasn’t there half the time.

“Robbie..? Did something happen?” you asked, glancing over from your position on the couch. You placed your book down and sat up, stretching your arms out for Robbie to fall into, his weight pushing you back on to the couch.

“Mmmhn..”

“Baby, I need you to use your words if you want me to help,” you teased him, hands already going to his hair and combing through it gently, your legs intertwined as he was burying himself into your [clothing of choice].

Robbie grumbled in response, looking up at you. You looked back into his soft eyes, going over every detail as you did millions of times before. There was always something hidden inside of them, an evil locked away, perhaps, or an evil that has escaped once before.

He never told you the details of what goes on when he leaves and doesn’t come back for hours. He always responds with “Crime fighting” or “Cars 3 is going to get intense”, or something else that’s cheesy like that.

But you didn’t mind that in the slightest. He loved you and you loved him, and you wouldn’t change that for anything. All you both needed was some time together, cuddled away on the couch and everything would be okay.

lenny surprising midge at a set- bonus if its in front of her family or something

Pairing: Lenny Bruce & Midge Maisel Rated T

After her set, Midge takes her seats at the table with Susie and the Weissman-Maisel clan. Sans children, of course. It’s a blue night, and they’re already in bed, being looked after by a member of the Steiner staff.

Susie immediately digs in when their food arrives, but Midge suddenly feels a shiver up her spine. Like she’s being watched. She furrows her brow and looks around, earning questioning glances from the rest of the table.

She drops her fork with a clatter. Because standing at the bar at a restaurant in the Catskills with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other is Lenny fucking Bruce.

He offers a smirk and raises his glass to her, but she’s too shocked to do anything but stare at him with her mouth agape.

By the time she composes herself, it’s too late. The rest of the table has followed her gaze to the bar, and chatter erupts around the table.

“Who is that, Miriam?” Asks Shirley, a hint of suggestion in her voice.

“He’s tall,” Moishe comments, stretching conspicuously to look over his wife’s head.

“Miriam,” adds her mother. “Did you invite him here?” The tone of disapproval is strong.

Joel just looks stunned. “Is that - ”

“Lenny!” This one comes from her father, who stands, heading toward the bar upon noticing the comic.

Joel leans across Susie, who looks like she could bite his head off for getting anywhere near her. “What is Lenny Bruce doing in the Catskills?”

“Obviously he’s here to see Midge,” Susie mutters around a mouthful of chicken.

It’s then that Midge’s shock starts to wear off. “Susie, why aren’t you more surprised? You used to be a bumbling mess whenever Lenny would show up.”

“He called the office last week and asked if you had gigs coming up.”

“Susie!”

Her manager takes another too-large bite of her chicken. “You’ve been moping around for eight months. Conspicuously started around the time Mr. Twelve Arrests played Carnegie Hall and you were suddenly ready to start working again. Don’t have to be a fucking mathematician to solve that equation.”

Joel watches with a furrowed brow before putting two and two together. “You and Lenny Bruce?!” He hisses.

“Yeah, Sal Mineo. Your ex-wife made it with Lenny Bruce.”

“Susie!” Midge repeats, feeling her face flush with embarrassment as she looks around at the shocked faces belonging to the members of her family.

“Well didn’t you?”

“That’s not the point!”

Susie shrugs and returns to her chicken, and with an indignant huff, Midge throws her napkin on the table and heads toward the bar, where Abe has engaged Lenny in conversation.

“ - anyway, join us for dinner!” She hears her father say jovially.

Lenny makes eye contact with Midge over his shoulder. “I don - ”

“Papa, could you give us a minute?” Midge asks.

Abe looks between the two comics before reaching out to shake Lenny’s hand. “The invitation stands,” he says.

“We’ll see if I do in just a minute,” Lenny replies. His lips curve into a smirk, but Midge knows him well enough to see the nerves behind it.

Her father returns to their table, leaving the two comics to stare at each other, neither quite knowing how to start.

“Hi, Lenny.”

Yeah, great opener.

“Hey Midge.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Wanted a drink.”

“In the Catskills?”

“Took a wrong turn.”

Midge arches a brow at him. “Right. We don’t talk about real things. Sorry I forgot - won’t happen again.” She waves him off angrily and turns to head back to her table.

“I missed you.”

Midge stops in her tracks. She would have never expected such an admission from him, but if she had, she would have expected it to be quiet, mumbled or whispered so as to give him an out. But his voice is clear and certain, and when she looks at him, he’s looking earnestly back at her. “You missed me,” she repeats.

“I did.”

“It’s been eight months, Lenny. Why now?”

“Because eight months is apparently how long it takes to muster up the courage to talk to you.”

She narrows her eyes at him. “You never struggled to talk to me before.”

“Well...” He stubs out his cigarette. “Things are different now.”

“They don’t have to be,” she reasons. “If you’re worried I’m still mad at you - ”

“It’s not that.”

“Well then is it about that night?” She asks, swallowing thickly. He sighs, and Midge’s heart sinks. This is exactly why she had left him at his door in Miami. She was petrified that things would change. That if they crossed that line, they’d lose everything that made their relationship so special.

Maybe it would be best if they just went back to before. If they wrote off that night as a one-time thing, but just as she opens her mouth to say as much, he speaks.

“I’m in love with you.”

She freezes at the admission. Of all the things she would have expected to come out of his mouth, I’m in love with you wouldn’t have even been on the list. How is this the same man who ran out of her apartment when he got too close to her life? “You’re...what?” She asks, eyes wide as she looks up at him.

He rubs his jaw, looking like he’s itching for another cigarette. “Fuck, Midge, I’ve been in love with you for two years,” he finally admits after a long moment.

“You’re...in love with me,” she repeats slowly.

“Yep,” he breathes. Silence falls over him before he starts waving his hands. “I’m not asking for anything, and I definitely don’t expect you to feel the same way, but I just spent six weeks in this place in fucking Connecticut - ”

“ - Connecticut?”

“ - because I knew that before I could ever talk to you about this, I had to get clean, so I threw out the bag, got on a train - ”

“ - the bag...”

“ - and did nothing but read and sleep and think about you. I’m clean. I’m not asking you for anything, but if there is any chance in hell of that night being more than a one-time thing - ”

She cuts him off with a kiss, her palms pressed against his chest. Somewhere in the back of her mind she remembers her family is sitting about thirty feet behind her, no doubt watching the entire exchange, but when Lenny Bruce’s lips are on yours, why would you ever worry about what other people think?

Slowly he realizes what’s happening and cups her face with his hands, reciprocating the kiss passionately but still respectably enough that they won’t be kicked out of the Concord for public indecency.

“I love you too, Lenny,” Midge whispers when they part for air, and he looks at her like he doesn’t quite believe it until she gives him another short, sweet kiss. “However,” she adds, “you may feel differently about me after spending an evening with my entire family.”

“That entire table has been pretending not to stare at us for the last five minutes.”

“Yes, well, my ex-husband’s parents have never seen you before, and you’re very handsome.”

“Your ex looks like he wants to either kill me or kiss me,” Lenny adds.

“Probably a little of both,” Midge shrugs, taking his hand and heading for the table.

Pairings: Reigen Arataka/Serizawa Katsuya

Trigger Warnings: Family Issues, Implied Homophobia

“[The invite inside was completely inconspicuous, almost bland. A cream-colored piece of paper with black lettering in a fancy font and little frills in the margins, as if it was an afterthought to this whole affair. The date of the event was printed largely at the top and somebody - most likely his mother - had used a red pen to underline it as well as the text at the bottom.

Reigen Arataka and guest, it said.

Clearly, they had intended for him to bring somebody with him to this affair. And there was only one person he could possibly ask.]

-----

When it comes to getting his parents off his back in regards to having a girlfriend, Reigen employs the oldest trick in the book. Meanwhile, Serizawa just wonders when his life turned into a romcom.”

Excerpt: Lan Zhan slowly raised his gaze, glassy eyes narrowing before he frowned. 'Are you here to fight me?' Wei Ying laughed, 'Oh I don't know that you're quite up for that yet,' he said, 'Besides, the ward sister would be kicking my ass too if she found me scrapping with a patient. How about we wait until I get off shift and then you can fight me in the car park?' 'Coward,' said Lan Zhan, 'Too scared to fight me now.'
