so I wanna requests the guys as dads, I remember at some point you said you wanted to do something like this and I really wanna see it
Time to rull up my sleeves, cause I did say I was gonna do one of those right? Back when I got annoyed that all I found was girl dad this girl dad that and I got tired of all the typical gendering going on in dad fics.
Ryusei Shidou
Girl dad in the most chaotic way possible. Tiaras coexist with bows and arrows as a princess fights off an invasion. Every doll and plushie has a tattoo made either with a sharpie or from a patch attached with hot glue. Every tea time is a mafia family meeting that always involves an assassination plot. And the barbies live very intense lives that inevitably delve into wrestling like storylines where each one has a gimmick, a long standing feud, and a clear thirst for blood.
Chaos may not be the best thing to keep an organized home, but it's good for mental development. And much like a kid, Shidou also thrives in creative chaos. He isn't the best at practical things, especially the ones involving routine and quiet time, but he has got his uses. Very good at wasting his daughter's energy until she drops straight into a deep sleep. His antics are also good at convincing her to eat pretty much anything. And of course, great at entertaining her so you can take a break.
Oliver Aiku
Boy dad but like he really doesn't care, he'd be giving the same extremely affectionate, and even a bit clingy, treatment to his kid no matter the gender - sugary sweet nicknames included. Probably heard people saying he coddles his son too much, treating him like a princess, but Oliver is good at playing deaf. Tho, that kid gonna have to fight for the right to have his feet touching the ground, cause dad wants to carry his offspring everywhere. Sure to raise a boy as clingy and openly affectionate as him.
Those reflexes honed for football are quite good at catching a kid before an ugly fall. And he's actually good at the general everyday stuff, surprisingly patient too. Takes a genuine interest in the things his son likes, so when the boy shows sudden interest in colorful nail polish, he'll show up to a match with badly painted soft purple nails. Likes sleeping on the floor with his boy, when asked why the floor and not the bed he brings up the old man excuse of "the floor is good for my back".
Reo Mikage
Girl dad and he was ready for a little princess, but what he got was more of a cave dwelling gremlin. He was expecting frilly dresses and tea time but he gets a little girl who likes bugs, playing in the mud and digging things from the ground. It hits him as a surprise but he adapts to that, and as much as he isn't very excited for the cleanup afterward, he is always eager to entertain his girl's odd interests. If buying dinosaur fossils weren't such a legal can of worms he'd buy one just to bury it for her to dig up.
If he wasn't convinced to go to therapy before, now is the moment to convince him. Just gotta say he should do it not to become like his dad and he's gonna be booking the appointment fast. Will be reading child pedagogy books and shit like that to make sure he can be a good and understanding dad. Really just trying to kill his family's trauma conga line at himself - wants his daughter to trust and count on him in the way he never could with his dad.
Michael Kaiser
Boy dad but to the gentlest, sweetest of souls, a little boy who seems to have absolutely nothing in common with his dad, aside from some physical traits. It at the same time shocks and scares him, because the world out there is not kind to sweet people. But while the boy is at home, Kaiser can keep him safe. It does frustrate him a little bit when he tries to get his son into football but the boy is more into art than sports, but he learns to move past that. Truth is, he wanted the boy to mirror his traits a bit more, so this is a humbling experience.
That poor rose tattoo of his does not see a day of peace after his son learned to color. Tho, Kaiser gets used to the shaky new roses drawn on his skin fair enough. And he actually considers getting a full tattoo of just lineart and not colors just to let the boy color in. He's not the most patient so he has a bit of a hard time getting used to the whole parenting thing, but he does try his best. Also, whenever he takes his son out somewhere he makes their clothes match in color scheme.
a word from out sponsors: @tinnaagine @loser-vxbez @kiurona @bentolover @bevernats @weirdbutpr3tty @ada7201 @vollereix @rinitosh @kum1ko-chan @romanticizemai @wishiknewwhatiwasdoingwithmylife @qichun @true-latverian-baklava @oliveraikusweatyshirt @fivenightsatwhoreville @geemyfirstluvstory @mariyumemi

Turnip28
Turnip28 is an indie wargame built around kitbashing models so that they look like the haggard survivors of a thousand years of vegetable-motivated Napoleonic war.
The core rules are free, and (as of 4/2/24) the game is receiving regular support.
Rules-wise, the closest comparison is definitely Warhammer. Models have statistics for Wounds, (in)Accuracy, (non)Toughness, and number of attacks they can make. Solo models (called Snobs) and units (called Followers) are both fielded, and an emphasis is placed on armies being unpredictable, difficult-to-control things that panic and get disorganized and sometimes just don't listen to your orders.
The biggest mechanical divergence is that players take turns activating units, and the process for this involves using a Snob to tell a gang of Followers what to do. Only if there's no Followers nearby to boss around does the Snob act directly.
The tone of the game's writing and setting is definitely black comedy. War is gross, no one involved is particularly competent, the motive for the fight has been completely lost over the years, and one of the narrative's main characters is a pile of fingers that, due to the decent tactical advice it gives, has been scooped into a box to be carried around. There's a genuine toad-in-the-hole recipe included in one of the factions' unit list.
The overall structure and layout of the book will make you say "this is definitely a wargame," but the rules are well-organized and easy to follow and reference. It's at least as professional as anything out of the big presses, and the art is gorgeous, evocative, and creative.
The game's factions, called Cults, are varied and distinct and come with advice on how to play them. Most of them pull from the same pool of generic units, with a few variations and passive effects, but they all do a solid job of transforming the way the game is played.
Despite this, the real star of the game---which I think gets somewhat overshadowed by how much game there is---is still the kitbashing. You can use proxies or models from another game, but Turnip28 really wants to get you into painting and modeling your unique army. You can still have a good time if you just like the mechanics, but you'll have a great time if you click with the modeling.
All told, Turnip28 feels like a gem. It uses a familiar mechanical foundation in order to get a little weird with its setting, and to encourage players to do creative modeling. The end result is a rulebook packed with gorgeous art, which reads cleanly, and which lets you and a buddy crash strange little squads of gremlins into each other for an hour.

How being bad on purpose can be the best thing for getting things written
It’s some of my favourite advice to give fellow perfectionists. Having trouble getting started? Put some awful prose on the page. Make it as bad as you possibly can. 
Think of it like scribbling on the first page of a new notebook or that first stain on new furniture or the first scratch on a new car. 
Why? Because you'll feel a little disappointment, followed by an immense sense of relief. Stop taking yourself seriously.
Here’s why it helps. 
It clears out the creative pipes
Have you ever turned on a tap that hasn’t been used in ages? It coughs and sputters and wheezes, but eventually the water starts to flow. And boy is it ugly water. Who knows how long it has been sitting in the pipes. 
They’re doing road work near my house and had to shut off the water for a day. When we used the tap the first time it came back on, the water ran muddy and gross for a good, long while. And even after it looked transparent, there was still a gritty texture and taste to it for a while after that.
But once I left the tap on for a while, eventually fresh water started flowing from it.
So, instead of trying to get pure, clean prose to flow from your fingertips the moment you sit down, make sure you clear the pipes first.
Write the worst paragraph you've ever written. Make it bad on purpose. Let all that muddy water flow away.
It acts like a warmup
You wouldn't expect an athlete to run a marathon without warming up their muscles first. Even artists warm up with sketches and studies before working on a main project.
Creative writing works the same way. Putting down whatever comes to mind will get you into the right headspace. It doesn't matter if the words you write are any good because you're simply exercising.
Don't stop at just one paragraph. Write another bad one, and another, and another until you feel it start coming out easy.
Blank pages are daunting, so make them not-blank
Pretty simple, right? We hate sullying something new—see my previous comment about new notebooks and furniture and cars—for fear of doing irreparable damage. And while it's a lot harder to buff out scratched paint than it is to hit the backspace key on your keyboard, the effect is the same.
You know that tactic of taking off one or two of those "take a number" tags on a posted flyer to entice more people to take some? Do that to yourself.
Your brain will go "Ah, a first paragraph already exists! Time to keep writing."
Consider: you don't have to be perfect, so don't try to be
Ruin the illusion of perfection to prove to your gremlin brain that it's perfectly okay to do something imperfectly.
We're meant to enjoy the act of creation. It's difficult to do things we don't enjoy when we make it into such a big thing in our minds, right? So if you've over-inflated it, let out some air.
Relax. Enjoy the process of writing. It's going to go through revisions before the final draft anyway, so why not have a little fun while you're at this stage?
tl;dr: Don't take yourself too seriously. Go write some nonsense. Keep writing nonsense until it flows freely. And have fun with it!

Tumblr media
Read for stupid rambles, update frequently
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you scolled this far thx!
I'm gonna put some stuff here about me, like my favorite music and sh!t like that
I'm 22, a Gemini. Although I don't believe in astrology, I do think a little of it is true. Like,, my moon and rising are so accurate.
Scorpio moon, sag rising
Anyways, I'm a size 22, isn't that crazy?
I remember when I was size 18 and actually to into actually how my teen body changed from size 12 to 18. This was the lowest in my life, I basically just shoved down the way I felt with food. My parent kicked me out because I told them I was as by their partner.
Long story short they don't believe me and never will... so I kept shoving how I felt with food
Now I live alone, I'm happier
Or. Am I. Because like I don't feel anything but guilt and anxiety. I try not shove my face with food but unfortunately I'm not better than I was before.
I'm still so fucking massive and I've been doing this since November. I fucking hate my self.
Sorry to like trauma dumping
Anyway, I always found my outlit to be creativity. I love knitting, painting, crafting, and making diy clothes. Music is another thing I'm trying to dabble in, I love all music and all genres. How can anyone make a horrible song? At least, that's what I think. So much goes into it. It's just such a beautiful thing. Even in the songs that others find bad or corny, I love.
I love smoking w33d and gaming.
I know that sounds corny asf, but honestly, I could spend all day being a gremlin and not binge. I used to play Cold War so much, and because I have anxiety, I would clench my jaw. The way that felt was enough to make me not want to eat.
I want to start going out, but every time I do I feel so ugly and gross. I start to feel guilty just being there. I guess I'm guilty other people have to see me? I don't know. Anyways sorry for dumping this here. But yeah I might just dump my rambling I have in my head.
April 5
Sometimes I think God isn't real then I pray for strength in order to fast and it works.
April 12
Tumblr media
I went out a few days ago. No one worried about how ugly I was because I did my makeup. I am starting a 44h fast. I love the number 4 soooo much. Anyways, I'm almost out of weed and cigs, which is very annoying... just like how my partner wanted to sit down with me and have dinner before he went to work. I tried to just serve him, but he was like almost lecturing me, and I ate. It's okay. Like I said, I'm starting a 44h fast now. I just hope this isn't a problem in the future. Update at 2 pm so my partner made me make breakfast, I'm not upset. I just had eggs, but I was able to make him some eggs and sausage. He went to go pick up his check, and he got me cigs and weed. But he came back with a pizza and was like "oh this is for dinner and maybe tomorrow's breakfast" so glad to have this man in my life but why pizza !

OKAY OKAY...hear me out— Monster au braintot,
Cheka having a lil play date with Mini!Yuu
Like— NRC will be in complete shambles. Peace? pftt—what's that? Don't know her–
it's probably gonna be like the the disaster girl meme
Tumblr media
Crowley: *sitting in a burning office* "...this is fine."
Narrator: It was, in fact, not fine.
Pfft, oh my god, I love seeing all this brainrot silliness and cuteness you guys have! It enables me to create sweet scenarios or unleash pure chaotic gremlin shenanigans on Twisted Wonderland! 🤣
Honestly, the only reason the ida of a play date even happened in the first place was because Cheka snuck into the school to see his uncle and he wound up playing with mini!Yuu the whole day. This was a blessing in Leona's book...at first.
Then the researchers approached him to arrange more playdates after seeing the positive connection the two had and stressing the importance of the child's developmental skills and emotional growth. "Whether they're monster or human, it's important for Yuu to have someone close to their age to grow and develop," one told him when he first tried to turn down the idea of his nephew visiting more often.
Needless to say, he didn't have much room to argue once Cheka asked his parents and his sister-in-law made the call. And so the first of many supervised playdates was arranged.
At first, the kids were perfectly content to do arts and crafts in a small part of the library. Paint, glitter, pipe cleaners, puff balls, glue, popsicle sticks...anything creative that could be done, they made it. Cheka had fun drawing and painting stuff for his uncle and parents while Yuu had fun creating a masterpiece they thought the staff and their favorite big brothers would like (which later do get put up in their rooms/on the fridge). Everything was going smoothly...
And then the supervisor stepped outside, and when they came back...wellllll...
"How did you two get glitter on the walls?!"
"Forget the walls, how did they get footprints on the ceiling??"
"I was only gone for five minutes! How could they have made such a mess in that short amount of time?"
"Look Uncle Leona! We're really close now!"
The two toddlers were giggling happily as the researchers looked around in pure confusion. Leona, who had come to pick Cheka up to send him home again, couldn't help but stare. "How the hell did you two get stuck together with regular glue?" he asked.
"We were trying to make our own slime goo," Cheka told him, lifting his hand up and pulling Yuu's hand up with the gesture. "But...it grew legs and ran away somewhere."
"...please tell me you're joking..."
"His name's Mr. Sprinkles!" Yuu chirped happily. "Can we keep him?"
It was later discovered that somehow someone accidentally mixed up a container of animation powder with glitter, resulting in the little science project literally becoming animated. By the end of the day, "Mr. Sprinkles" had terrorized quite a few students before eventually being caught and kept in a glass jar where little hands wouldn't be able to easily access and free the artificial monster.
Yuu is already asking when Cheka can come over to play again. This time there is going to be much more supervision to ensure nothing like that happens again though! 😂

Hey bestie could you do the boyfriend hc's for Marko and David PLEEEASSEEEEEEE!!!!!!????!!!!!
Ask and you shall receive, I wanted to make a singular post just for Marko and David will have his own which will be coming up soon! I hope you like this, bestie!
Marko As Your Boyfriend HCs
Tumblr media
Congratulations, you’re basically dating a vampiric gremlin!
Being in a relationship with Marko is always chaotic with a wicked sense of humor. Your days with him are never dull and you always run into trouble when you’re together. 
In a nutshell, your relationship is like those couple youtubers that live on pranking each other but show deep amounts of love for one another. You both can never get even and the pranks get more and more creative. 
His love language is gift giving and quality time. Marko is basically a bird in the body of a vampire. Whenever he finds something relatively shiny or pretty, he will take it and present it to you. It sends the message that he thinks about you when he collects them and wants you to have a physical representation of his love for you. For quality time, he just loves spending time with you. Spending time with the boys for all those years rubbed off on him so he’ll want to be around you a lot! 
Speaking of finding things to give to you, they are a million percent stolen.
You: “How did you even get this?”
Marko: "What do you mean, dove?"
You: “This is very expensive and I know you don’t have money, so how did you get it?”
Marko: “Five finger discount, babe! :D”
He can be very clingy, it’s essentially part of his vampire nature and you being his mate but he would be the clingiest out of the four boys. If you wanted to go somewhere on the boardwalk, he would go with you. 
He’s an adrenaline junkie, therefore you are going on every roller coaster on the boardwalk with him. He’s the type that would be laughing during the entire ride. 
He would make up corny nicknames for you when he wants to mess with you. The type of corny petnames that make you cringe. Ex: Honeybun, cupcake, sugarplum. Your reaction would make him do it more. 
However, his genuine petnames for you include; dove, baby, and babe. Dove being his favorite because he thinks you’re the only pure thing that has ever happened in his whole life, alive and undead.
The type of boyfriend who wouldn’t tolerate someone disrespecting you. He’s not the type of boyfriend that would just stand there and not do anything while his S/O is getting bothered by someone. 
He may be smaller than the boys, but he can be fucking mean when he wants to be. It’s like poking a pissed off raccoon and getting your shit rocked by it. He’s not afraid to fight someone bigger than him or outnumber him. He’s a vampire, not like he can get seriously hurt!
He is an artist. He loves all types of art including; painting, drawing, sculpting. He doesn’t sculpt often but he loves to draw and paint. 
He has an artbook that has hundreds of drawings dedicated to you on the pages. You’re his muse and he is literally obsessed with capturing your image on paper. Whenever you feel insecure, he would show his drawings to you to show how beautiful you actually are.
He made his jacket and he isn’t opposed to making one similar for you to wear. He would help you make it and add your own little patches, buttons, and accessories. He would even make you a matching one if you asked. Matching couple.  
Similar to Paul, he is very affectionate, especially when it comes to kisses. He can’t help but want to kiss you all the time. Careful, he nips. 
Speaking of Paul, he is also your automatic best friend. Like in Paul’s headcanons, Marko and him are best friends and spend a lot of time together. Trust me, being best friends with Paul is hilarious. 
Marko would spend more time with you though after dating you, he just can’t help wanting to spend time with his mate. 
Dates with him consist of going on safe rides on his motorcycle and racing down the beach. He loves when you tighten your grip around his waist and scream from how fast he’s going.

Please do all the fluffy alphabet for Toki!
Hello sweet Anon! Yes I absolutely will! I'm going to highlight a few asks that some other anon's asked. To the anon who asked about Pickles I will be finishing the Alphabet in full so please don't think I missed your ask!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A - Attractive (what about their partner do they like most?)
The attention. This boy craves validation at every junction of his life. He especially appreciates whenever his partner actively participates and listens whenever he info dumping on them. He can just feel his pupils turning into heart shapes as his partner reciprocates his energy on something he truly is invested in and is excited about. In return for this service he reciprocates in full at all times. He is an excellent listener and will always remember all of the important and little things to make his partner feel heard and loved.
B - Banter (How do they tease each other? Is it always friendly/flirtatious or does it turn nasty?)
Toki's love language is "witty" banter. After being saved by Dethklok loving sarcasm was the first thing he learned to do in English. The only problem is that he doesn't always know when his banter goes beyond picking and teasing and turns to fighting. His partner could blame it on his Autism and the inability to read emotions. They could also blame it on the years of emotional abuse he suffered. Either way he would need indicators from his loved ones telling him when enough was more than enough.
C - Cute (Cuddles, Handholding, Sweet Touches, Caresses, Sneaky Moves)
Toki is a very tactile person. He literally gets days where he craves touch and he could go hours simply clinging to his partner like a lifeline. His face burrowed in their neck arms and legs wrapped tightly around their middle while they comb through his hair and rub his back. Charles and Twinkletits called it "Touch Starved". After finding out about his punishment hole and all the years he spent forcibly separated from his family, Toki could literally use all the TLC in the world now. Hand holding is a must in this relationship. He is almost always holding his partner's hand as long as they allow it. If not then he is definitely clinging to them in some capacity. While laying next to each other in bed, Toki loves to run the tips of his fingers down his partner's arms feeling the little goose bumps rise to meet him. He loves to kiss his their collar bone and wrap his arms around their waist pulling them so impossibly close that it feels like they became one person. Toki will absolutely get frisky during the day and sneak his hand onto his partner's thigh during dinner or a meeting. Massaging their thigh just enough to get them going, creeping higher and higher all the while keeping a perfect innocent poker face.
D - Dates (What kind of dates do they like to take their partners on? Are they creative with their date ideas?)
While Toki is one of the most creative Dethklok member he is certainly not the most romantic by any means. On their first date he took his partner to a trampoline park and dared his partner to do as many backflips as they could before they threw up. He took his partner to the worlds largest theme park to ride all the rides in one day. They took a few art classes together (Not Ghost style) and ended up throwing paint and supplies all over each other.
E - Eat (Do they have similar tastes in food or do they share food at the dinner table? I. E. Swapping the tomatoes on the burger for the pickles on their partner’s chicken sandwich)
Toki is VERY picky with his food. Textures, flavors, and temperatures really fuck with him. If Toki doesn't like something on his plate he will most definitely slide it onto his partner's plate. That doesn't mean he won't steal food from his partner if there is food there that he loves though. He absolutely goes full gremlin mode during dinner time and will eat not only his nuggets and mac and cheese but his partner's too if they don't watch out.
F - Fire (What drives them the most in the relationship?)
The fear of abandonment drives Toki the most in almost all of his relationships. He puts it all on the line while with a partner. He viscerally hates the idea of loosing his partner. The loneliness and pain of loosing someone close to him shakes him to his core. Worse of all he hardly ever knows/understands what he did wrong if a relationships ends. So he tries to fight with all his might every day to hold his partner close. To show them how much he loves them. And to prove to himself that he is loveable.
G - Generosity (How do they show their partner they care?)
Gifts and acts of service are Toki's go to love language. He will go out of his way to make little things for his partner. If he sees things while he's out that reminds him of them he will always pick it up. He may give it to them the next time he sees them or hold on to it himself as a keepsake to think of them. A lot of times though he starts his Christmas shopping early and has a stack of gifts for his partner.
H - Hot Head (Are they quick to anger? Are they spiteful in a fight? Will they say things they don’t mean just to piss their partner off? Or are they easy going?)
The guitarist isn't exactly a hot head per say. A lot can happen before he looses his temper... however once he looses it he goes ballistic. It is dangerous to stay around Toki whenever he looses it even after his time in therapy. Toki has never once gone off on a partner before and he feels horrible thinking about the possibility of it ever happening.
I - Interest (What are some of the interests they may share?)
Arts and Crafts! Toki loves to be artsy and create new things! It's soothing and therapeutic.
Music. He and his partner share a love for all types of weird cool music. Metal is his favorite but he absoslutely loves discovering all types of new bands.
Fashion. Toki loves dressing up and doing make up on his partner. Cutesy fashion is his favorite.
J- Jealousy (Are they the Jealous type? How would they act if they were?)
YES. Omg! Toki never once learned that sharing is caring. He is connected to his partner like velcro and feels Offended if his partner demands to spend time away to hang out with other guys or friends he felt threatened by. He will sabotage his partner's friendships he doesn't like. He will go full psycho if he feels like he's not getting enough attention.
K- Kids (Do they want kids?)
That's complicated... He really does want a family with his partner. He does. But kids scare the fuck out of him. They're so fragile. They break so easily and they try to die all the time. He watched a baby stick their chubby fingers near receptacles enough times to know they all have death wishes. That doesn't mean kids aren't cute and he hates all of them. As a matter of fact if he had a kid with his partner he would love it so much it would never leave his sight... I think he just needs more time to mature first.
L - Likes (Favorite things about relationship and partner)
Toki loves his partner in their entirety. He loves that he gets to do cool things with them every day. His favorite thing about his relationship however would have to be the time spent with them. He loves that each day he gets to wake up and feel this overwhelming sense of belonging. He loves that he knows that someone out there is thinking about him at least once a day because they want too and not just for his music. He loves that this person carves out time in their schedule to be with him either physically or on the phone. He is eternally grateful to his partner for all the time they spend on him and he shows this in his very actions.
M- Marriage (Are they interested in getting married at all?)
YES. OMG! Toki has dreamed of getting married ever since he was a young child. He wanted to have his father officiate it and have a traditional marriage of his culture. However now that he is older he has realized a lot of things. He can wait to find the right person. He doesn't need to follow in his father's footsteps but does want his mother present even if it scares him. He also NEEDs to have his new family there to welcome in the change in his life.
N- No (Pet Peeves in a relationship)
Toki absolutely can not stand a person who is pushy and presses him into doing things he's either not ready for or doesn't want to do.
He can't stand a person who ignores him for long periods of time. The silent game does not go over well for him at all.
His needs are many and vastly important. Physical money and change isn't an option for Toki. He literally can not be in the line of sight of a bicentennial quarter or he goes catatonic. He has diabetes and refuses to take his insulin by himself due to a crippling fear of needles. He needs someone who respects and understands him enough not to judge him for his use of noise canceling headphones and regression after the events of Doom Star. He needs someone who truly is going to love and take care of him through thick and thin.
Toki has a bad habit of pushing people away whenever he's upset. If he does this and his partner doesn't understand and ends up not talking to him for a long period of time he may self destruct.
O - Orange (What color reminds them of their partner?)
Yellow! His partner is just like the sun, a warm beam of light in his life that he apricates more than anything!
P - Proposal (How would they or how did they propose?)
Toki proposes to his partner in the first week they date. It occurs to him after being laughed at and told to quit joking that maybe he should wait... And so he does. He waits with anxious anticipation for the right time... the right day to ask again. And even though he desperately wants to beg on his knees at every chance and opportunity he gets. He patiently waits for his partner to give the first hints and signs that their ready before he ever acts on it again.
Q - Queen (King) (What traits makes them a KING or a QUEEN?)
Toki is the king of funny buisness. He can always make his partner smile even when they don't want to or feel like doing so.
His mind is like a steel trap. He will remember dates and events that seem extremely small to most normal people. For example: On he and his partner's first date they admitted to liking a specific brand of ice cream. He was sure to buy it for them on their birthday nearly a full year later.
He loves like no other in the band. He loves so fully and wholeheartedly. He would never let anything happen to his partners and would protect them with his life if push came to shove.
He will always make his partner feel beautiful/handsome no matter what they are wearing.
Tells them every morning how loved they are.
Will protect them even if it means going fully feral on someone else and loosing his own sanity to save them.
R - Rain (What was the most romantic gesture they have ever done for their partner?)
Toki isn't the most romantic person in all of Dethklok. He shows his love in different ways than most people. He likes to have fun and make memories. However one evening when he took his partner to the peer to ride some rides by the ocean and play some of the carnival games winning his partner a giant plushie of their favorite animal at the strength test game they rode the Farris wheel to the top. Looking out over the reddening sky that bled into the sea making the two merge and become one, Toki crept over to his partner's seat, making their gondola sway and his partner squeal. Wrapping his arms around them he laughed pulling them into his chest as he sat beside them he kissed them deeply telling them all the ways he'd keep them safe. All the reasons he loved them. And why they were the most important person on earth to him.
S- Smooches (Who gave the first kiss? When do they kiss their partner? How often do they kiss their partner?)
The guitarist was for sure the first one to kiss his partner. He is the most impatient person on the face of the planet after all. He kissed them at the end of their second date. Much to his dismay. He wanted a kiss at the end of the first nut his partner just wasn't that kinda person and in all honestly that was really hot to him. It made him wait something he hasn't had to do in such a long time that it drove him mad with desire and want. Now that they are established... Toki kisses them every single chance he has. The gossip mags are plastered with his and his partner's faces making out on the daily despite Charles instructing him to be discreet. Dethklok is constantly cursed with tongues wrestling from Toki and his partner in the halls and rooms of Mordhaus and despite them yelling to get a room it doesn't seem Toki minds at all.
T - Travel (Do they like to travel with their partner? Where do they dream of traveling to?)
Toki doesn't really like to travel all that much. He traveled so much for work and as a part of his tortured childhood in order to escape his himeland. Travel just seemed like work to him. However. With his partner while on vacation, he enjoyed it. He disguised himself during this time and while so far they only ever went to places they could drive to he really like the thrill of seeing places without the feeling of being obligated to preform for any specific reason. One day while in bed he confided in his partner that he would love to visit Japan again on vacation this time so that he could really enjoy the culture and the sites without the fear of fans and work. But for now easing into it with getaways was nice enough.
U- Universal (How Public are they with their affection? Are they very open with PDA? Do they brag about their partner?)
He is extremely open with his PDA. As a matter of fact, his partner would have to set hard boundries on how much PDA they wanted to have.
Believe it or not... Toki doesn't really brag about his relationship all too much. While he is extremely open to show off his partner and make out in public he doesn't really like to bring bedroom talk into his everyday life. He thinks it's rude to kiss and tell and becomes shy when asked about it.
V- Valentines (First holiday together. How did they prepare? How did they celebrate?)
This boi is a prude for how holidays should go. He will make sure that all the bows on the presents are tied just right during Christmas, make sure that everyone is nearby to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve, watch as the cooks make the turkey on Thanksgiving to be sure it comes out Perfect, make personalized baskets on Easter, go out of his way to buy costumes on Halloween and organize a Halloween party, but Valentine's day is one of his favorite especially with his partner.
It was not only the first holiday he spent with his partner but also their first month anniversary. Toki went all out on this day. He bought the extra large stuffies. He bought chocolate. He made dinner and ran a bubble bath for them to share later that night. Valentine's day was their night to share. No one was coming between them.
W- Wicked (What do they do that purposely pushes their partner's buttons?)
Toki has a bad habit of finding his partner's insecurities and because he can't always read emotions correctly he uses them in a joking manner during the most inappropriate times.
Toki will also cut in on his partner's conversations just because he can.
He does this thing called "meow mode" If he feels ignored for too long he goes full cat and starts meowing and roaming around their shared space looking for his partner. When he finds them he will meow louder until he has their attention then purpousfully damage something of his partner's in a manner that is cat like solely to get his partner to pay attention to him. He has so far: cut his partner's hair, smacked his partner's phone out of their hand (once off of a high balcony essentially destroying it), broken seven vases, one photo frame, and pissed in a potted plant.
X- Xylophone (What song fits the relationship?)
Merry Go-Round of Life
Y- Yearning (When do they miss their partner the most? What do they do to placate themselves in the mean time?)
Toki misses his partner the most when he's on the road on a tour. Those times when he can't bring his partner with for whatever reason Charles insists or simply because they have work.
He finds other activities around Mordhaus to do during the time that their apart like DDR or annoying Skwisgaar. Sometimes he even practices if he feels especially productive.
Z- Zipper (Do they let their partner pick their outfits?)
Nah... Toki has a specific taste in clothing and doesn't tend to stray outside of that for any real reason except to tease Skwisgaar.

Masterpiece
Low key got lazy in writing and I feel extremely guilty. So to make up, I made an x reader with our favorite artist skellie. Slight NSFW warning? (It’s called a life painting where the artist paints natural things….including naked people or in this case, naked skellie….) Enjoy!
“IIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNKKKKKKKK,” Error shouted, his voice echoing throughout the void. Ink ran as FAST as he could, managing to reach his home in the Doodlesphere.
He wiped the sweat beads off his skull, “Phew! Now THAT was a close call….”
“Messing with Error again, Ink?,” A tired voice called out to him.
Ink giggled as he turned to them with a big goofy smile, “Sorry (Y/n). But you should have seen his face! Toooootally worth it.”
I shook my head but laughed, “You’re such a little gremlin sometimes….”
“HEY,” Ink shouted sticking his rainbow tongue out.
I just laughed even louder seeing the troublesome artist acting so ridiculously childish. Ink had let me stay in the Doodlesphere after I was going through some tough times. I wanted to be an artist online but didn’t have what it took. I lost so much money trying to follow my dreams….but it caught up to me. I lost my home….my inspiration….until Ink found me and took me in. Sure he was silly and a little too careless for a hero but he did save my life….
I groaned, “Ink….why are you covered foam?”
Ink scratched the back of his skull, “Oh! Right….it was part of the prank! I….got caught in the crossfire….” He chuckled nervously as I glared at him.
“Ugh…now I have to clean up all this mess. Just go to the bathroom and wash up before you track anymore of this around the house!” I demanded.
He saluted at me, “Will do!”
I sighed as he left and gathered some cleaning supplies. Yeah he’s my savior….but he can sometimes be a pain in the ass. He’s lucky he’s cute….I blushed and shook that thought. Damn Ink has been plaguing my mind recently. I mean he is….undeniably adorable. But there’s no way he could like me. Hell I’m still surprised that he’s let me stay with him for so long. I fear that one day he’ll kick me out once he realizes that….I continue cleaning and tried to ignore the negative thoughts for now. After I finished, I put everything away and went to grab some clothes for Ink.
“Ok. Time to gather some clothes for him. He probably forgot again….,” I opened the door to his room.
When I was about to walk in, I yelped in surprise. Ink was there….bare boned and in all it’s glory. But even with my initial embarrassment….I was in awe by his tattoo like markings across his bones. They were so….BEAUTIFUL! A familiar spark suddenly struck me like lightning. I walked in and gripped his shoulders.
“Woah! H-Hey where’s the fire,” Ink asked slightly embarrassed, “Uh I’m not exactly dressed-“
“Can you help me….draw something,” I asked, cutting him off. Ink’s eye lights shifted from question marks to stars.
“R-Really?! You really wanna draw?! That’s….AMAZING! What’s inspired you? What do you need help with? I’ll be here to support you,” Ink said excitedly, “Now tell me what do you wanna-BLEEEEEECH”
Luckily I have an emergency bucket for whenever Ink gets too excited….started that when I got tired of cleaning ink of my clothes.
“I appreciate your….enthusiasm. All I really need is a pencil, paper, and….,” I sat him down in a chair, “You. I want to draw you. The markings on your bones are mesmerizing and I just HAVE to get it on paper!”
Ink looked shocked and even a bit flustered, “Really? You want to draw me…?”
I nodded causing him to chuckle mischievously. He posed rather suggestively (well as much as he could in a chair….). “You gonna draw me like one of your French girls~?” He teased.
I threw a pillow at him, “Don’t start.”
“Ok ok! No more joking around, I promise. I’m just glad you’ve finally found something to spark your creativity! And I’m glad to help out….sometimes artists need help in their works and need support. And I’m always ready to help fellow artists,” He sat more comfortably and made sure his markings were in my line of view, “Remember….art can be wonderful no matter what. You just have to put your heart into it!”
My….heart? I stared at him as I prepped my paper and got comfortable myself. My eyes scanned every nook and cranny, my pencil gliding across the paper as well. I was drawing the person who helped me at my lowest point, the guy who’s taken me in, the guardian of other universes and….the guy who’s stolen my heart. All my love poured into the paper as I sketched away every curve, dip, and things I loved about him. Ink on the other hand was secretly squirming under my focused gaze. He just doesn’t get it….he has no soul, no real emotions.
Then why….does he feel such strong emotions with this person? He didn’t feel it when they first met, he just wanted to help a fellow artist. But over time, he’s began to get these strange emotions and they were getting stronger the more time passed. He asked Dream once about the feelings and he said it had to be love. But….how? It baffled him to the point his head hurt. The feelings were kind of annoying….but the times I laughed, scolded him, or talked to him, it felt….nice. So it’s not all too bad. But he wondered if he should make a move one day. But he didn’t want to ruin what we had now! His head’s starting to hurt again….
“And….Done!” I exclaimed.
He snapped out of his thoughts, “Oh? Lemme see!” I held the paper close to me, hesitant to show him.
But with a sigh I passed it to him, “Ok ok….here. It’s alright I guess. But you be the judge.” He took the paper with a small thanks and looked at the final product.
He….was speechless. Which really freaked me out. Since when does Ink suddenly goes mute?! Was it really that bad? Did I offend him?
“Ink….did I mess up,” I managed to squeak out.
“Mess up?! This is AMAZING (Y/n)!!! I just can’t believe how amazing you are,” He exclaimed suddenly. His words made my whole face warm up.
“Huh? O-Oh….I’m glad you liked it….,” I said shyly. I was taken aback when I felt his hands cup my cheeks.
“Are you alright? Your face is turning red….,” He asked squishing my face, “Heh. Your face is smushy.” I rolled my eyes as he made my lips pucker up like a fish. That’s when I noticed a small rainbow blush appear across his face.
“I wonder….,” He muttered quietly.
My brows knitted together in confusion, “Wonder what-?”
My eyes widen when he pressed his teeth against my lips. My heart and eyes fluttered as the kiss deepen, my arms finding it’s way around his neck as his fingers combed through my hair. We broke the kiss, much to my disappointment but I needed to breath.
“Yep. I was right…..your lips are just as amazing as you are~,” He said with hearts in his eyes.
I blushed hard, “Ink….I….I really love you….”
He smiled widely, “I love you too Mon chef-d'œuvre~”
“Yeah….and uh….you’re still naked,” I said now realizing how awkward our position was.
He finally noticed too, “OH! Riiiiiight. I forgot heh….I-I’ll go get dressed now!” He was to leave the room.
“Clothes Ink….this is your room, don’t forget your clothes,” I said.
He chuckled, “Ah how did I get so lucky to have you by my side? Dealing with my forgetfulness and my pranks….”
I smiled, “I should be asking how I managed to get so lucky to have a cute and supportive hero as my boyfriend.”
That made his ENTIRE skull glow with his rainbow blush. He got his clothes and ran out. Did I….actually fluster him? I pumped a fist in the air in victory. Still….does that mean we’re now….dating? I squealed into my hands out of excitement and embarrassment for now processing all that just happened.
Ink at the other side of the door was also doing the same thing.

Is it an unpopular opinion to say that in a modern setting Luffy could realistically have some career in art… like listen. I know the few times we’ve seen him draw is v crude and childish but. He does it with so much joy, and ever since I saw someone point out how he’s actually improved throughout the years based on the hat drawings in film red, even if it’s childish, my heart just feels so full. He’s an artistic guy! Not to mention a toon-force wielding menace in canon. He’s a creative little gremlin I’m sure he’d love to dedicate himself to that in a world in which he cant entertain himself by becoming the King of Pirates (and one in which he is forced kicking and screaming to purchase his own food). Also Oda said he’d be a firefighter but let’s face he’d either be the one starting the fire or making it worse.
He wouldn’t be painting the Mona Lisa, I think his artstyle would still be crude and amateur-looking, but I could see him making action comics and becoming a little bit like ONE. Stuff like that.

Crafty shit 1
yea yea whatever two posts in one day crazy ik anyway
I got SO MANY CRAFT ideas to share with whoever may stumble across this unknowingly:
To make plastic fangs, claws, or any other thing you need easily moldable plastic that's foodsafe, use Polymorph. All you do is throw some of these little pellet motherfuckers in some boiling water until it's clear, then scoop that little bitch back out and mold it as needed >:D it's endlessly reusable and works amazingly for fangs assuming you don't have wacky ass teeth like I do T^T
One of my favorite crafts to do is make these strange little mushrooms out of hot glue. You basically are gonna need:
~ hot glue gun + sticks
~ some surface that hot glue does not stick to that is either flat or bowl shaped (this will be for the top of your mushroom! I think it's called the cap? I use those weird poppit fidget things for my mushroom tops, and it works like a charm! but use whatever works for you)
~ bowl of cold-ish water (just not room temp, slightly lower is good :p)
mk so after you get all the things then you:
Turn on the hot glue. you fucking idiot. if you need hot glue for a craft turning it on/plugging it in is sp obvious my grandma would've known that and she's been in the ground for years.
I don't know the right word to use here. Extrude? Use? Pump out? whatever it is, do that to the hot glue either into your bowl shaped mold or into a circle on your flat mold
while that dries, get your bowl of water and hold your glue gun about 4 inches away from the waters surface. Squeeze out little lines, it's ok if their funky or curved (this is gonna be ur stems so it's boring if it's all straight lines)
MUSHROOM-VENGERS ASSEMBLE. no seriously though. Make an additional larger vaugly circular thing, thatll be the ground. then attack the stems to the caps, and the full shroomies to the base. HELL YEAH YOU MADE MUSHROOM LITTLE THINGS
optionally, you can paint it if you don't like that unfinished hot glue feel. I use just acrylic paint, and do mostly plain colors for the caps with white spots, mix brown and white for a light tan for the stem, and just use plain green for the grass, but it's up for interpretation as your creative gremlin self decides
Now its like 1245am and I got a shit ton of stuff to fo tommorow so like. enjoy the.crafts little dudes

Hi my mind is racing a mile a minute so here's my headcanons for Mao Mao's relationship with each of his sisters and what their personality is like:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*these are my personal head canons, and are in no way meant to clash with canon or others’ ideas.
Read more
Bangles: she's tough, brash, a little gremlin. Has little tact or brain cells but makes up for it with a big heart. Would use herself as a shield to protect those she loves. Loves to tease and baby Mao Mao and doesn't take him seriously as a hero (at least, not at first when they reunite). Mao Mao used to hate her but now he's just extremely tired of the teasing. I really like the head canon that Bangles and Scarf are twins (art).
Tumblr media
Hat: is an actual mother. Really. She got married and has a couple kittens now. She could be Minori, the one who baked a soufflé while slaying a seven-headed hydra. This gal can multitask as all moms soon learn to. Before all that, she was the quiet, more serious one of the group. She's always prepared (hence why the hat fits—infinite storage for infinite preparedness). Didn't necessarily mean to ignore Mao as a kitten but hadn't learned to balance her training and relaxation time at that point.
Tumblr media
Scarf: actually... never wanted to be a legendary hero. The role was sort of shoved onto her from a young age and she never fought back. Despite this, she tries her best to maintain a positive attitude in front of others. Might have some form of depression. She's caring and sweet but more extroverted and naive than Hat. She thinks Mao's dream of becoming a legendary hero must stem from his desire to impress his father and therefore thinks he probably doesn't really want to be a hero (though she would never bring this up). Someone made a good point in this post that Scarf could be Minori, which makes me think she wants to be a chef but can't fully live her dream due to her heritage and expectations.
Tumblr media
Contacts: quiet and serious when she's in public and around her father. Her contacts grant her the ability to see anywhere in the world. She likes magic and uses spells as her main weapon of choice. I like to think she needs glasses when she doesn't have her golden contacts in. I bet she's got the best jokes/roasts out of all the sisters once you get past her serious exterior.
Tumblr media
Spear/Brunhilda: cleared a forest with a single swing of her spear. I'm willing to bet she's actually a gentle giant, uninterested in fighting unless absolutely necessary (though she doesn't mind carrying on the family legacy, she'd rather settle things peacefully). Probably into a cute creative hobby like knitting or painting.

ao3: “indulge my every whim” rating: T genre: fluff warnings: platonic dukexiety, nightmare mention description: Virgil and Remus play a prank on Roman. (prompt: “ For a sasi prompt: Virgil and Remus pre aa practicing being spoopy scary sides? possibly being gremlins terrifying the others, mainly roman“ by anonymous)
"This is gonna be great," Remus cackles. Virgil shushes him, his senses on high alert as they creep down the hallway. He is keenly aware that he is not supposed to be there. This is Light Sides territory and despite being in a couple videos, Virgil knows he is definitely not Light Side material. Beside him, Remus can't stop vibrating, his arms around an enormous tub. A tentacle pokes out of said tub, slapping wetly against the side and curling around Remus's arm.
"You sure this will scare him?" Virgil asks in a hushed voice. It just doesn't seem...appropriately terrifying to him. Sure, Cthulhu the (Fun-Sized) Kraken was great fun in Remus's little chunk of Imagination, and Virgil was delighted when he realized Remus could take him out of the Imagination, at least for short stints, but as a prank? Virgil just isn't sure.
"Oh yeah," Remus says. "Especially with this." His teeth gleam wickedly sharp in the dim light of the hallway as he holds up a glistening oily black orb. "Nightmare time," Remus explains briefly. "And then he wakes up, and Cthulhu is on his chest."
"Got it," Virgil says, his excitement returning as he fully understands the plan. Sometimes Remus has to be reminded to share the plan, but that's okay. Virgil doesn't mind reminding him. His hands tremble as he reaches for Princey's doorknob. It's a bright brass, and it blends well with the painting on his door. Some kind of medieval fantasy thing, with princes and dragon witches. It fits Princey to a T. Virgil is half afraid that the knob will shock him or something when he touches it, but to his relief, the knob turns easily under his hand. He can hear Roman's soft snores inside.
"Come on!" Remus says, miraculously keeping his voice low. He hefts Cthulhu the (Fun-Sized) Kraken to his chest and grabs Virgil's hand with his other, towing him inside Princey's room before he can blink. Creativity hits Virgil like a punch to the chest, but he's used to Remus's room, so it only takes him a moment to acclimate. Remus puts one crooked finger to his mouth, signaling Virgil to be quiet.
"I need a touch of anxiety," Remus mutters, holding out the nightmare orb. "Just touch it and- and do your thing, Scare Bear." Virgil sticks his tongue out at the nickname, but touches the orb anyway, concentrating on his function. A spiderweb pattern briefly forms on the orb, before disappearing into the swirling black smoke. Remus's mouth curls into a satisfied, toothy grin.
"Perfect," he whispers. He sets Cthulhu the (Fun-Sized) Kraken on the side of Roman's bed, just as he lets the nightmare orb touch Princey's temple and slowly dissipate. Cthulhu the (Fun-Sized) Kraken curls up next to him, blinking up at Remus.
"We'll be back in the morning," Virgil promises the cephalopod in a quiet voice. He has a feeling that Roman might wake up the whole mindscape and the thought makes him want to laugh a little. It won't hurt Thomas and it's a bit of harmless fun. Roman might not think so, since it comes with a nightmare, but Remus pranks his brother with nightmares all the time. Even Virgil can't manage to feel anxious over that.
They tiptoe quickly out of the room after that, silently high-fiving each other in the hallway and creeping back to the Dark Sides' hallway.
Janus waits for them, his mouth set in a thin line.
"What were you doing?" He asks.
"Pranking Roman," Remus answers at once, before Virgil can think of a suitable lie. (Not that it will work on Deceit, but hey, he's got to try, right?) Janus sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"Don't leave Cthulhu over there," is all Janus says, before he goes to his room. Virgil and Remus share a conspiratorial smile before doing the same to their respective bedrooms.
Roman's screams wake up the entire mindscape in the morning, mostly about the tentacles in his bed, and Virgil just laughs and laughs, curled up in his bed and holding his stuffed bat to his chest.
He's sure Roman will find a way to get his brother back.
He can't wait for Remus's vengeance.
