kim mingyu headcannons

↬ offer to do all the house chores, like washing the dishes, doing the laundry etc. he’s literally a house husband.

↬ another pouty baby. really likes the cling onto you with those huge muscles so you’ll have no choice to but stay with him.

↬ loves to go on dinner dates with you whenever your both free from a busy schedule. likes to have it at-least once a week. he’s sooooo romantic. even if you don’t have time for a long nice dinner date, he’ll take you on a walk to the park. anywhere as long as he spends time alone time with you away from work and any work calls.

↬ he’s literally so babygirl coded. would get all flustered and shy when you compliment him. hiding behind your shoulder or hiding his face in your neck with his arms wrapped around you. doesn’t mind you teasing him either.. he’ll get all pouty and shy.

↬ he’s such a cheesy man.. would come up with the cheesiest pick up line ever. no matter what your doing. cooking. brushing your teeth. “i think someone must have stolen the stars and put them in your eyes” (o_0) CHEESY NICKNAMES !!

↬ i see mingyu as a person who really likes to have skin contact with their partner every way possible. linking pinkies. holding hands. arms around your shoulder or waist. has to be touching you in any way.

↬ would be your personal driver. like wdym he’s busy rn ??? he’s totally free and can definitely take you wherever and whenever. it’s 3am and your hungry ? “go get dressed more warmly and let’s go. i’ll pay so don’t worry. pfft what ???. no i’m not tired. come on, let’s go now”

↬ literally your personal heated blanket… once he lays on top of you. he’s never getting off. he’s just always so warm. if you always have cold hands he’ll keep his hands on yours or stuff your hand in his pockets.

↬ also your personal chef. learns to cook your favourite food. makes the best ramen (according to wonwoo). if your hungry at 4am, he’ll make you a meal. if you skipped lunch ? you’d bet he’s gonna cook a meal that can feed a whole family.

↬ i feel like he’s big on pda. really likes to show you off (≧▽≦). in public or on social media. gotta let everyone knows he’s taken by a goddess..

↬ best comforter when your sad. why?? because that chest of his is comfy and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you have the time and energy of course, can we get headcanons of how Reader would help care for a sick Donna and possibly even vice-versa?

Specifically for more serious ailments like flu or stomach bugs or even physical injuries like sprains/broken bones (that would be more so for reader lol I don’t think Donna is that rough with her work)

I feel like Donna especially would hide her illness from reader as much as she could because she wouldn’t want to feel like a “nuisance/burden” and take time away from them and their work but ofc reader will drop everything to take care of her

(I am sickfic trash I can’t help it o_0)

Thank you in advance 🙏💕

Hey Anon! No problem. Sorry it took me a few weeks to reply to this.

When Donna is sick/injured:

TBH the Cadou in Donna probably would take care of any possible stomach virus/cold/sprain/break within seconds/minutes due to it being so powerful. However, for the sake of this post let's assume that when Donna partitions her Cadou out to one of the doll's there is a window in time that she is susceptible to these things-- so that's how she got sick

Massive chills, high fever, soreness, migraines, just horrible upsetty tummy-- the works, it's like her immune system is non-existent when the Cadou is going through remission when she implants one of her dolls with it.

Coupled with her absolute Italian stubbornness and feelings of not wanting to be a burden/nuisance like you said, she's a menace to try to take things easy for a few days/or even week. She will purposefully avoid the Reader for the first day or so because she knows they would notice something wrong and try to help her with her ailments.

When the Reader does find out, it's thanks to Angie and the other dolls being sluggish and out of character-- Donna's sickness and her mental/emotional/physical link with them exposing the dollmaker's subpar physicality.

Reader IMMEDIATELY goes into Concerned Partner Mode™-- all the blankets, soup, vitamins, cuddles, kisses, and warm, soft words to get Donna back to her usual, healthy self.

Donna nearly cries from the amount of concern and attention the Reader is giving her-- partly because she doesn't feel worthy and also because she's an affection-starved bitch.

Reader ropes the chef into making Donna's favorite comfort/stim food-- a simple Italian dish that the Reader should be able to make but because of their poor fortune with the kitchen in the past, it's better for them to just help on the sidelines lol

Donna's recovery is faster than normal because of the Cadou-- but she does milk it a bit more even after she feels 100% fine a day later. Donna may not admit it but she does like being coddled and cared for, especially when it's the Reader and they tend to give her more kisses and cuddle when she's feeling down-- so yeah, Donna definitely mooches the sickness for a bit

(The Reader knows Donna is doing it, yet doesn't say anything, not when the Donna-rito (Donna burrito) is smiling up at her with that shy smile when the Reader pampers her and Donna is extra cuddly because the doctor (Angie) prescribed it)

When the Reader is sick/injured:

TBH this is the most likely scenario, because 1.) thorns in the garden and equipment malfunction are common in the Reader's line of work 2.) The Reader is a plain ole human with no power/Cadou.

Reader is similar to Donna in that they tend to hide things and don't want to be a burden to others. This stems from her time in college where they were often on their own for these things when they were away from their aunt and cousins. Plus you can't really have sick days when you're in grad school (coming from experience lol).

Being sick, honestly, would trigger Donna real bad (because of spoilers in Phyto's Guide and her sister), so I won't go into details here because I want to keep things light.

Donna would immediately notice something's off-- The Reader having a slight limp or favoring one arm over another or move slower than usual and attempt not to lift too heavy objects. Donna would clock it and start hovering-- but not saying anything. Yet staying close enough to be there if the Reader.

Eventually, the Reader caves and tell Donna what happened-- strained ankle, knicked thigh, pulled back etc.

And then Donna would pounce (and Angie-- well Doctor Angie in this instance). Blankets, soup, massages, babying, and general overzealous caring partner. Smothering the Reader with all the attention she could muster. It would get a bit much honestly, but no less endearing.

Even the dolls, to an extent, comforts the Reader. Doctor Angie is a stern but supportive practitioner. ("Don't make me get the scalpel!" "What do you need the scalpel for?!" "To cut your shit out!")

Sorry if it's not good. I've not used writing sickfics, so I hope this is at the very least decent.

OKAY fuck choso.

for this ask i will present my thoughts as to how ur and his rls will be like so u can tip over the edge and become a choso lover like the rest of us. this is me trying a hand at persuasion.

when i think of choso. i literally lose my mind everytime bc like. my baby boy is suchhhhh a virgin!!!! and he is sooooo shyyyyy i just know it!!

i will present my points:

sfw first!!

this boy is sooo new to humans we all know this. soo romantic feelings are new too i just have a feeling like you'd have to be the one to ask him out bc baby boy is soooo obvious abt his feelings like his face immediately softens when u enter the room and there's a small smile and stars in his eyes!!

and like he stutters so much when u talk to him he stays quiet most of the time bc his mind is blank when u talk like how are u so beautiful????

so yuh u basically have to ask him out and he literally looks behind him when u do bc like are u seriously asking HIM out??? this is not real o_0.

ok nsfw now

this man is obviously a virgin and does not know anything abt human anatomy. soooooo like u will have to teach him everything. yes he's a clean slate.

oh god i just imagine him like looking at you with doe eyes and like imagine u teach him how to touch you and when u tell him to do exactly what u were doing he'd be soooo cute abt it. hed try to copy ur actions and his ears would perk up and his gaze immediately looking up at u when u make a noise of appreciation BC FUCK KDKEKDKD HE'S SURPRISINGLY GOOD AT IT.

Yeah i believe he's a fast learner.

but like i also have a feeling he'd be soooo shy still like imagine when u take ur top off just to change he'd go red in the face and turn around or something bc oh my god...

NWODOODOD I NEED CHOSO IN MY LIFE LIKE I NEED HIM TO USE HIS BLOOD MANIPULATION TECHNIQUE TO DO SOMETHING TO ME. i will elaborate on this in the next ask.

OK WAIT. WHY HE KINDA- wait.

Then the choso-fixation of Rome is going to be so real💀 (finally found a subby boy don’t tell me otherwise (I mean i you’re welcome to tbh💀) but I just see him very very submissive lmao)

No because like you said all that and knowing myself I’d just tease him😭poor guy- he’s stuttering? Time to make him blush full time😭

Man it would be nice to spoil him- and he’s so caring too so like- like- yk *I don’t like this- I should not be imagining shit*

Also getting intimate with choso? Ok um ok. Because big dick but idk what to do with it energy😭 i hc he cried when he first came. Like with a partner Lmao—but yes. In fact poor baby cries every time from the pleasure and teasing and maybe the overstimming AND if anyone has stamina? Him.

But also getting naked for him? He’s so shy imagine giving a strip tease? I just🤭✨

#from.jaaneman #☼࿐𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠→ #☼࿐𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄.𝐍𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 #y’all choso is not what I- #i dont see us as compatible still but ✌️ #it will however take more convincing baby

[freshlybakedspiderbread]

was tagged by @rn0na-lizard to do a thing, I appreciate it...!

rules: tag nine people you want to get to know better!

favourite colour: When I was little and for a long time since, I had decided my favourite colour was red, but now I could never say any one colour takes precedence for me over anything else. Every one conveys a sort of different mood or association that I might be feeling more or less at any given time...

But for just what it comes to what I wear, I feel like I’ve been wanting to lean more towards colours that are ‘both subdued and striking’ so like a dark blue or dark green 🤔🌈 There’s this overly expensive green blouse I’ve been eyeing for a long time...

currently reading: I... haven’t read an actual ‘novel’ novel in any language in so many years. I’m so uneducated! 💀 If there’s anything I should be reading right now, its the road rules manual to prepare for my next driving test next month. (I will probably just try to wing it anyway though)

last song: last night on a whim i ended up listening to most of perfect cherry blossom’s soundtrack. doll judgement ~ the girl who played with people’s shapes still rules by the way!!

something that’s not touhou or a touhou doujin song though... one was In Sympathy by Depeche Mode? I dunno anything about this band but this song was reblogged on someone’s tumblr, i gave it one listen and decided to add to my list of things i’ll just listen to regularly to pass time on spotify (I have a lot of these kinds of songs)🎵

last movie: its been a long while too so i’m not sure... When it comes to watcing things in the theater, I think it might have been spiderverse, which i liked but i think i never want to actually physically go to the theater again.

since then i also through other secret means 🤫 watched the last spider-man movie on my computer with my mother.

last series: As in the last tv show? I think it was the bocchi the rock anime, which i liked and have been listening to the songs on spotify too...

Oh, but since finishing that show, i (also on a whim) been rewatching season 1 of elementary (skimming the parts that don’t interest me). That’s one of the shows I watched once a long while ago and will just periodically go back to like its comfort food or something.

sweet, savoury or spicy: um, i thought ‘savoury’ just means a nice ‘full’ taste that envelopes your mouth, so it can coincide fine with either sweet or spicy? either way my answer depends I guess... If I’m having lunch or dinner, i’d probably prefer spicy over sweet. If i’m just snacking during whatever time, i’d prefer sweet.

tea or coffee: tea! I’ve tried a few different flavours and haven’t found a strong preference for any one type of tea yet, but they’ve all been nice. In contrast, I’ve had coffee i think just once in my life and didn’t care for it at all 😑☕

currently working on: improving myself, an eternal project... Every now and then I think to myself that once i accomplsh some arbitrary thing, that’ll be the first step that allows me to change my whole self around. Never quite works out that way!!

for a less abstract answer, I’ve writing touhou fanfiction as usual. Currently working on what I had hoped would be a really quick and simple thing where i just write out backstory ideas i had for Byakuren and Shou that I’d get done in just a few days < I thought this back in the middle of december and haven’t touched it in weeks. Maybe tomorrow... (< I’ve thought ‘maybe tomorrow’ for many days in a row now)

tagging: 

uahgh. I’ve always felt odd about tagging people in these kind of things, because wouldnt it be awkward if i did that but they don’t really wanna... I’ll say that if anyone does this because they see my post here, then i’d be happy if you tagged me so i could see o_0!

tell me abt the top 5 stevebucky headcanons that live rent free in ur mind🥰

aaaaaaa i love this tysm!! all i can think about rn are stevebucky from my latest wip but if u send me this again later i might have more brainrot for their canon versions for you !!

1. steve prefers savory stuff while bucky looooves sweets so buckys always looking up these fancy recipes to try and make for steve who is always super touched but he CANNOT bake for shit without genuine hazard to their lives so he just buys bucky a bag of candy on his way home from work and buckys like 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 truly the man of the year i am so down bad how did i get so lucky (for reference at one point bucky literally works at a gourmet candy store but he’s impressed by like maynards lmao he’s such a simp)

2. i know everyone typecasts skinny steve as completely tone deaf but i’m special <33 so i have this hc that they go to a karaoke bar one night and theater kid bucky is so excited because he hasn’t performed in forever but hopefully he can still sing bc steve has kept teasing him about his “dulcet operatic tones” and he doesn’t even know why he feels the need to prove himself so competitively like sure they’re good friends but why would he care if steve thinks he has a good voice lol?? and sam is looking through the list and hes like “aye steve your gal is on here i’ll sign you up” and bucky’s like “huh? who?” and clints grinning like “oh YEAH hes very fond of dolores, is our steven.” and steve BLUSHES looking at bucky and they’re both kinda laughing and hes like “i showed you that in CONFIDENCE you shits” and bucky’s like thinking hes shy bc he can’t carry a tune so he’s like “awww c’mon dont heckle him i’ll duet with you steve so it’s not so bad” and they get up there and sam has put in a request for zombie and bucky starts casually singing and the first chorus comes and steve absolutely BELTS IT OUT LIKE DECIMATES THE CRANBERRIES AND BUCKY IS JUST THERE LIKE. STARING !!!! HE FORGETS TO EVEN SING LIKE HOLY FUCK WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME????? and then when they get together bucky thinks about it and he’s like wait oh. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. OHHHH???? needless to say they leave the karaoke bar early that night lmfao

3. one of my favorite parts of this fic and what started it all is steve is from an area that has these extremely colorfully painted houses and his childhood home is in bRIGHT red and baby blue with white trim (because duh) and bucky thinks it’s the most garish, hilarious, extremely steve thing ever and he loves it 😩

4. once they start living together steve and bucky are both constantly covered in glitter like. glitter all the freaking time. because steve works a job as a character performer at a mythology museum 🤡

5. bucky offers to model for steve’s figure drawing class at one point and everyone is freaking out over him like HOLY SHIT WHO TF IS THIS GUY and they start calling him “the hot american” and all anyone can talk about is the Hot American™️ but they keep it super professional pretending like they don’t know each other and then the last day of the class bucky changes into his clothes while everyone’s packing up and steve’s ready to go so he’s just like “hey babe ready to bounce” and steve’s like “fuck yeah” and completely snogs him in front of everyone who are just there like o_0 and they run out to the street laughing so hard at their faces bucky has to carry steve onto the bus until he can find his inhaler

lol ik this isn’t probably what u had in mind but ty so much for giving me a chance to talk about The Boys <333333

bonus: PEGGY AND BUCKY GETTING REALLY FUCKING DRUNK AND SINGING LINGER on natasha’s couch one night using the bottle as a mic lolololol

Mine. His. Ours Pt3

Ran Haitani x f!reader x Rindo Haitani

Pt. 2 // Pt. 3.5

Words: 4.8K

Warnings: gaslighting, manipulation, pet name (kitten), kinda cheating (reader feels like she is), naïve reader, Ran being too sexy for me to ever do him justice, don’t tell anyone but...I’m not a writing blog...o_0

DNI if a minor please! You will be insta blocked if you don’t have ages in bio! Or some indication you aren’t a minor. Please read this. First and only warning.

After that day, your meetings with Ran suddenly increased. He started showing up at the apartment more often than not, and even standing in for Rindo on days when he was supposed to take you shopping. The first time you saw him after your first meeting you couldn’t even look at him without blushing. But after a while you were able to at least not make a complete fool of yourself. 

Despite what happened, you wanted to make a good impression - or as best you could - on Rindo’s brother. You wanted him to like you. So you squashed down as much of your nerves as possible to get closer to him. But even without the disaster that was your first meeting, Ran was fucking hot! All he had to do was be there and he commanded the entire space he was in. And when he gave that gentlemanly smile as he opened doors for you, or those feather light touches to guide you along the busy streets you felt yourself swooning.

He was just so different from Rindo. Your boyfriend sometimes felt wild, and untamed. Like he was always enjoying life, and masterfully maneuvering all the pieces in his way to fit in anyway he saw fit. He was the puppetmaster, cackling away as he made people dance to his sinister tune. But Ran felt...quiet. It was like seeing a lion lazily lounging, appearing completely off guard, but no one dared to approach because everyone knew the deadly, and savage beast just beneath the surface. 

Even the way they touched you was different. Rindo was demanding, and made sure you felt every pull of his hand. Never letting you forget who it was that you belong to. But Ran’s touch was barely there, almost like a suggestion. A soft push here, a subtle touch there -- just enough to remind you. Until before you knew it you were moving yourself for him, but still thinking that it was by your own will.

Something Ran very much appreciated. He applauded his brother’s pick this time. The last a little too dumb and unable to adapt to him. As much as his brother complains, he likes having to spell everything out to his girl since it makes them more dependent on him. Ran, himself, doesn’t mind this occasionally but after so many times of repeating himself he grows bored quickly. And the last time Ran picked she didn’t even make it long enough to meet Rindo before he broke her. 

The two Haitani brothers found out that amongst all the things they’ve shared over their lives, strengthening their bond as brothers, women was one of them. And finding one that could both satisfy and keep up with both of them was challenging. 

Ran looked down at you as you walked beside him, as he once again stood in for Rindo who unfortunately couldn’t make it because he was “busy”. This made the 5th time and you were now comfortable enough with him to not jump away every time you happened to bump into his arm. But you still couldn’t keep eye contact for very long, and always blushing whenever he caught you staring when you thought he wasn’t looking. Just like now.

“What’s got your attention, kitten? Something you wanna ask?” 

“N-no nothing!” You winced at the obvious lie, the crack in your voice giving you away. You were sure he knew you were lying and you didn’t want to come off as rude. And there was something you wanted to ask. Whenever you asked Rindo he never gave you a clear answer and you were hoping maybe Ran would tell you. “Well...actually I was wondering. Um...Is Rindo ok? He seems to be busy a lot lately.” 

Ran chuckled. The sound of his ruffling clothes hinting you to his movement before his hand rested on the outside of your hip. Though before he could apply any pressure you were already stepping closer on conditioned response, just as some guy not paying attention walked right by just barely avoiding bumping into you. As quickly he touched you, he pulled away. You had to ignore the feeling of disappointment you felt when he did, shaking your head to get yourself back together.

“Don’t you worry about him. Besides, you’re best not knowing about the type of busy he is.” Though he smiled it gave you uneasy shivers, “It’s the type to give pretty little kitties like you nightmares.”

“O-oh...ok.” It’s not like you wanted to know everything, but he couldn’t make the last few dates. And you were starting to feel a bit lonely.

“Am I not enough for you? You’re breakin’ my heart here. I thought we were getting close, kitten.”

You blushed at the nickname, still not used to it, and shyly answered, “That’s not it. I really enjoy hanging out with you.”

“Oh, do you?” He leaned in a bit closer, but since the crowd had thickened in the last few minutes you couldn’t step away without hitting someone. Your stomach did flips, and your knees threatened to turn to jelly as the intoxicating smell of his cologne filled your senses. The look in his eyes seemed to dare you to agree and fall into the sweet trap that laid beyond it. And the call of that sugary reward was too much for you to reject, but before you were allowed to indulge, Ran stood up straight. 

The sudden feeling of being freed from a some sort of spell leaving you momentarily disoriented. Blinking owlishly up at Ran, not even realizing how much you were pressing into his side. When you came to your senses you rushed a flustered apology and pulled away so you at least weren’t hanging off of him. What were you thinking!? You had a boyfriend! And it was his BROTHER for crying out loud!

“But he has been leaving you alone lately, hasn’t he. So how about you do something to get his attention.” Ran smoothly pulled the conversation back to your earlier question. After clearing your voice, hoping you sounded somewhat normal you asked, “How should I do that?”

“Don’t you worry about that,” He gave a sly smirk, “I know my little brother well, so you just leave that to me.”

You didn’t know what he had in mind, but he was right. As much as you wished it was you, If anyone knew what Rindo liked the most it would be his brother who he shared his entire life with. So you trusted Ran……

...Yeah you should’ve known better.

“Ran um...I don’t know about this.” Ran’s idea was to give Rindo a new surprise...in the bedroom. So he brought you to a very racy lingerie store - one that you saw many times but never had the courage to step foot into. You may not have minded if Rindo brought you here, but with Ran you felt like you were doing something bad. Like you should be here.

“Didn’t I say I would help you. You don’t trust me, kitten?” It almost looked calculated the way his face perfectly changed into a morose expression. And if it was --which it definitely was not that you knew - it worked. Your heart strings being plucked, and your mouth opened quickly to tell him you did trust him. You were just feeling a little nervous. In the next blink his smile was back.

“Great, then let’s find you something nice.” 

“......Right.”

The few times you went lingerie shopping with the other guards, they just stood outside of the store so you at least had some kind of privacy. But with Ran he took care of everything. Called up a worker, told them your size - how did he even find out about that? - and had them show him to the back where a VIP room was. You didn’t even know things like this existed outside of movies!

It was all so fancy, and luxuriously decorated. Like walking into a 5 star hotel. Ran took a seat in one of the arm chairs, crossing his legs with a dashing flourish as a different store clerk, this one looking a bit more nervous at a member of Bonten strolling into their store, came up to pour him a glass of champagne. You thought you were getting used to the ‘world of the rich’ but after seeing this you realized you still had much to learn. The first clerk returned with an arm full of lingerie for you to try on. You stood nervously off to the side, still not entirely ok with some other guy picking out your lingerie to wear for your boyfriend.

As your mind whirled with all the possibilities of how this was a terrible idea, Ran’s smooth voice coaxed you back into the present, “Oh, this one looks good.” 

Seeing the item he held in his hands made your eyes shoot open. You were completely speechless. He had to be joking...right? His eyes narrowed as he leered at you, slowly raking his eyes up and down your body as though he was already picturing you in it. Normally you wouldn’t like it if someone other than Rindo was imagining you like that but if it was Ran…

Somehow you didn’t hate it. But recognizing that feeling only made you confused and guilty. So instead you tried to suppress those surprising feelings and focus on why you came here in the first place. To find something that would catch Rindo’s attention. 

With your mind back on your current objective, you once again eyed the sexy lingerie. It was an all black, see-through babydoll set. The top was split up the middle, the only thing keeping it together was a silk ribbon tie by the chest, and was embroidered with delicate frills and lace. It didn’t look like it was made to be worn with a bra, and even the see-through panties were also held up by ribbons on both sides. 

Your chest hurt the way your heart was punching against your ribcage, and your throat was completely dry. But somehow you croaked out a timid reply, “T-there’s no way...I can’t wear something like...like that.” You looked away, wringing the hem of your shirt and scuffing your toes into the floor. “That’s too sexy for someone like me...It wouldn’t look good.”

The soft sounds of Ran’s steps approaching you made your shoulders tremble and heart work double time. The tips of his shoes entered your downcasted vision, stopping right in front of you. His proximity made you feel even more light headed than you already were as you could feel the heat coming from his body, and his alluring scent filling your lungs. 

Ran’s fingers felt like scorching flames as he tucked his pointer finger under your chin and pressed his thumb under your lip to guide your eyes to look up at him. And you gasped, eyes wide as you met the unmistakable look of hunger and desire darkening his purple eyes. A rush of carnal desire sent shivers down your spine, and pooled with sticky wetness between your legs. He smirked, slow and calculated, like he already knew how your body was reacting to him.

“Trust me, kitten. It’ll look great on you,” He bent over, his hair tickling your warming cheeks and whispered crudely into your ear, “Just thinking about how you’ll look in this makes me want to bend you over and fuck you right now.”

You gasped harshly, pussy clenching around the very same air that you were nearly about to choke on. He didn’t just actually say that...did he? You had to be going crazy. There’s no way right? But as you tried to search his cool expression for any indication that you weren’t just imagining things, he only gave a gentlemanly smile that made you think it couldn’t be possible something like that came out of his mouth. The heat and fire in his eyes also gone, like a mirage in the desert further making you question if you imagined it all.

Yeah...of course he wouldn’t. First of all there’s no way he would be interested in someone like you. Secondly, you were already taken. And by his brother…

No wait...those reasons should be the other way around.

It was almost a blessing when he handed you the lingerie and urged you into one of the changing rooms. It gave you a distraction from the confusing feelings that you were starting to feel with Ran. The changing room was large, with a full body mirror and another chair off in the corner. You let out a relieved sigh that there was a mirror inside, which you could use without having to use the one outside. Ran had already picked out your lingerie, you wouldn’t be able to handle it if he actually saw you in it too.

Just thinking about it made you blush. That and the words you may or may not have imagined him whispering right into your ears. You shook your head, hands moving quickly to undress and try on the clothes to get it over with. But it was like Ran had some sixth sense to know when you were finished because as soon as you shimmied into the panties you heard Ran’s voice through the curtain.

“How’s it coming? Did you change?” 

“Yes.” 

He made a slight sound of acknowledgement, “Good.” You thought that would be the end of it. How stupid of you to think so. Your heart jumped, and goosebumps ran up your naked legs and arms at the sounds of the metal links that hooked onto the bar to keep the curtain up rattle open. Your first instinct was to scream, and try to hide your body as much as you could, but with almost inhuman speed Ran had closed the curtain and grabbed both of your wrist before you could let out a squeak.

“Now, now don’t be rude, Kitten.” He chuckled down at you, a feeling of enjoyment sparking life the usual calm purples you’ve come to associate with the older brother. “Were you thinking of changing without even letting me get a little peek?”

With a mountain of effort you swallowed the lump of shame that had begun to lodge itself into your throat. But your voice came out strained, “I-I mean, there’s a mirror here and I thought…well…um…” The longer your gazes mingled the less coherent your thoughts became. Like he was siphoning away your ability to speak. He pouted, the exact same look and way Rindo did when you did something he didn’t like but wasn’t quite upset with you.

“That just won’t do. I came all this way to help you find the right outfit. Didn’t I?” You nodded since your voice didn’t want to come out. Ran didn’t seem to mind, but if it was Rindo you knew he would’ve demanded you use your words. “That’s right. So in order to check if this is the perfect outfit we should inspect it. I’m nothing if not a gentleman, and I don’t do things halfway.” He let go of your trembling arms, and they fell to your sides like the limp arms of a marionette whose strings had been cut. Your wrist felt cold without his warmth wrapped around it, but it didn’t take long for it to warm back up as he dragged the fingers of his right hand up your arm. Slowly, and just barely touching you, until it reached your shoulder where a delicately tied ribbon laid.

“Your skin is so soft. Perfect. We have to make sure the material doesn’t damage it.”

His voice was barely above a whisper, but it sounded like thunder. You hadn’t even realized the way your breathing was increasing, or the heavy-lidded desire that threatened to darken your eyes. It was almost scary how his long, lithe fingers seemed to play you like an instrument without even really touching you at all. And all it took was for him to hit the right key – a suggestion of a touch as he brushed a fallen lock of hair behind your ear – to have your voice returning. You swallowed heavily, your tongue feeling like led.

“H-how do…do we check?” He was just helping you. That’s all it was. And what if after you bought it you found out it did irritate your skin…

A slow smirk entered your vision, and you could almost imagine it was Rindo in front of you. But that thought was quickly erased by the ghostly touch of fingers just slightly longer, more gentle and subtle than you were used to. “You just leave that to me.” Finally he broke eye-contact to properly look you over, frowning when he did. The way your heart tackled your chest in that moment actually made you wince.

Did it actually not look good on you? You had thought it was a bit too sexy for you when he picked it out. Before your insecurities could grow he asked you a question that had you flustered. “What’s this?” Following his line of sight you spotted your bra. Surely he knew what it was, but exactly how he was expecting you to answer baffled you. You shifted on your feet before giving a timid response.

“Um…my bra?” His perfectly arched brow pinched together – a sign you recognized in Rindo that he was beginning to get irritated – and his arm reached around you to touch the claps of your bra. He never touched you, arm hovering just enough for you to feel the heat from his body slowly crowding you. “I know that, kitten. What I’m wondering is why is it still on.” He tilted his head, “This is something you wear without a bra.”

You spluttered, mouth flapping like a fish out of water, as you turned a rosy red. You knew that normally you weren’t supposed to wear a bra with it, but the material was sheer. Which meant if you didn’t wear one your breast would’ve been visible. “Are you trying to waste my time?” Your eyes shot open and you shook your head.

“No! I’m not! It’s just…I mean….if I don’t wear one then…” Your voice faded out at the end hoping he would understand. And of course he did. Not that it was going to stop him. Ran was having way too much fun with Rindo’s new toy – a toy that would soon be his too. With a face of mock sincerity he shook his head, “We can’t leave any room for doubt. I want to make sure that there are absolutely no problems. Your breasts and nipples could react differently to the material since they’re more sensitive.”

Hearing him speak so frankly about that made your head spin. And your legs, that had been shaking this whole time, nearly gave in. But was he right? Was he lying? But what reason would he have for lying to you? “You understand, don’t you kitten?” 

Again you felt yourself being led along by some invisible string to answer, “…y-yes…” He looked so serious. So he must be telling the truth. Rindo was always saying how sensitive your nipples were so…

“Go ahead, take it off for me.” Ran licked his lips, the corners curling up into a pussy clenching smirk as he watched you move almost as if you were under some sort of spell. Your eyes glossed over while your fingers fumbled with the claps of your bra, before the offending material fell silently to the floor.

Once your breast was exposed to the cold air, your nibbles hardened into points beneath the sheer material of your negligee. The soft, expensive material felt good on your sensitive chest – almost too good. “That’s a good girl. Let’s get started now.” You didn’t have to look at him to know he was smiling. It was in his voice. A voice that was now behind you.

Your shoulders jumped to your ears when he pressed you against his chest, and his hands rested on your waist. Unlike before all of his touches had been light, barely there, but now his hand felt HEAVY on your skin. His thumb pressing a bit harder into your hips than his other fingers, and the middle finger of his right hand tapping some unidentified rhythm. The rustle of his clothes, and shift in his weight was your only warning before his lips were so close to your ear that just a slight movement would have you touching his lips.

“Relax, kitten.” His deep voice was like a poison. One that both dulled your senses and also sent your pulse into hyperdrive. “You’re in good hands.”

Said hands gave your hips a firm squeeze. Then let them drag up your sides over the negligee. The thin, silk-like material allowed his hand to move smoothly against you and since the material was so thin, you could easily feel the heat from his palm. You gasped, sucking in your bottom lip from trying to keep any embarrassing sounds from coming out. He was just helping you out, and here you were getting all horny.

You weren’t stupid. You knew that there was some kind of sexual tension sparking between the two of you, but none of that mattered because you were a kept woman. And more importantly you were a faithful woman. You loved Rindo, and he loved you. Maybe you hadn’t been together long, but you were starting to learn things about Rindo bit by bit, and with each thing you learned you found yourself falling more and more in love. He was the one for you. That you were sure of.

But…for some reason, when you looked at Ran, you could feel a wisp of those same feelings floating around in your heart. Did that make you greedy? A whore? The fact that you were even having these thoughts about Ran while he was here just doing his best to help out his brother’s girlfriend made you sick with self-disgust.

“How does that feel on your skin?”

His voice snapped you back and you stumbled over your answer, “I-It’s…it’s fine…” He nodded, his hands moving further up until he was rubbing your upper stomach, right under the silk ribbon that kept the two sides of the negligee closed. It was also right under your breast. Your entire body was quivering now, and your knees knocked together in a desperate attempt to quell the yearning pulses of your pussy.

“What about here? Any discomfort?” Again you shook your head answering in the same way. Voice noticeably shakier than before. “I see, that’s good to hear.”

The palms of your sweaty hands throbbed from the faint pain of your nails digging into your flesh. All in the desperate attempt to not let Ran see how disgusting you were from enjoying his touch way more than you should be. But as much as you abused your bottom lip, or fought to endure it, there was no stopping the squeaking moan from leaving your mouth, when he cupped both of your breasts from below.

Your eyes shot open, eyebrows nearly disappearing into your hairline, and you turned your watering gaze behind you to the man standing there. His face was a mask of innocence that betrayed the way he rubbed, squeezed and pinched at the sensitive flesh. One of his hands had to reach down and encircle your hips to hold you up since your legs were no better than jelly under you. Your body gave another twitch, mouth falling open to protest but the only sound leaving you was a moan as his thumb and forefinger caught your nipple. After a bit he asked again that same question.

“Does it feel uncomfortable here?”

His sensual voice rocked shivers through your body and before you could catch yourself you whimpered, “N-no…it…it feels…good.” Ran chuckled, pinching your aching buds harder and twisting them to the point it was almost painful. You clenched your jaw, squeezed your eyes shut tight. Tears born from the shameful heat that had been growing in your body and dying to be let out.

“I can tell. Your hips haven’t stopped moving for a while now.” It was only then did you realize that you had been grinding back against him, but when you tried to pull away he tightened his grip. That made you push against him more. “Why are you trying to run away? We’re not finished yet. I have to check the other side.”

You shook your head frantically, “It’s -o-ok I think it’ll be fine. You’ve already done so much for me already…” Ran hummed softly, switching his hands so now he was palming your left breast and his other was holding you up. “You really have such lovely skin. It’s so soft,” He nudged your head down to make you watch the fat of your breast bubble between his long fingers when he squeezed, “and here,” He thumbed over your nipple, pushing and lightly flicking it. Making your hips involuntary push back against him. “Hmm, so sensitive.” These weren’t the hands you should be seeing touching you like this, but then why did it all feel so good?

“Really, my brother is a lucky man.” Hearing him mention Rindo made your heart sink. You wanted to throw up. Knowing you were feeling good being touched by someone not him. “I’m so happy he found someone like you.”

You knew he was just being nice, but it was like he was saying all the things to make the shame and disgust in yourself grow. Satisfied in his inspection, he finally released your breast but by this time your head was practically empty. Which let him half drag you over to the comfy little arm chair sitting in the corner of the room. You were practically floating in your own world, half aware that you were being moved – both legs being spread and hung over each arm of the chair.

It was only when you met Ran’s eyes from his kneeling position between your legs were you startled back to lucidity. Your instinct to close your legs was rejected by the two large palms pressing on the inside of your thighs. You couldn’t think. Could barely breathe. If he looked down he’d be able to see how soaked you were. What would he think of you after that?

“This is the last place we have to check.” He patted your thigh in what you assumed was a reassuring gesture. “We can’t have you chafing down here, can we? We’ll be—” He chuckled, “Sorry, my brother will be using this place a lot. So sit back like a good girl and keep those legs open.”

It wasn’t right just how beautiful he was. And seeing this beautiful man on his knees before you made your cunt clench with such a desiring need to be filled that you nearly cried. You just wanted this to hurry and be over so you can get back to where you belonged. With Rindo.

“I’ll just get a closer look to see if there’s any rashes.” He leaned in closer until his face was about a fists distance from your underwear. The slick from your cunt soaking into the panties, making the sheer material stick to your cunt and give him a clear view of your pussy. 

“Hmm, looks good.” Your thighs jumped from the sensation of his finger dragging up and down the edges of your panties against your groin, only just barely brushing against the sides of your pussy lips. You also didn’t miss the double meaning behind his words, and suddenly images of him running his tongue along your folds and inside of you, to see just how good you were made you whine.

“I don’t see any redness. Does it hurt when I press here?” As he asked, applying pressure and you moaned out a ‘no’, blushing when you did.

Ran flashed you a smile from between your legs, and your eyes nearly rolled to the back of your head from how your stomach kept clenching. It didn’t help that his lips were a little wet from licking them, making you imagine that there was more than just his spit there. God you wanted, needed, to cum so bad. It was almost painful for you now. You didn’t even realize that ever since he knelt in front of you, you had been trying to push your hips closer and closer to his face. But suddenly Ran was on his feet, leaving you dazed, confused and nearly ready to cry from an orgasm that had been teased ever since you two walked into the shop.

“Stay just like that, kitten.” He pulled out his phone and while you tried to reclaim any bit of dignity you had left, you heard the sound of his phone shutter go off. Capturing your form in digital for all eternity.

Legs spread wide open, negligee in disarray and the ribbons only loosely holding it together. Nipples painfully hard and your face colored with both sweat and desire.

“I’m sure once Rindo sees this, all your problems will be solved.”

That post- meant more to me than it should have-

Thank you for posting it<3

Of course!

I may not be ace or aro but there was a time I thought I was. (I realized I didn’t like guys 2 years before I realized I liked girls o_0)

I remember talking to someone about being aromantic and they immediately shot that down. They didn’t even hear me out and I felt so hurt.

I also remember seeing people online debate if Aces and Aros are even part of the lgbt community. It made me feel really isolated. If I didn’t belong in that community or with the straight folks then I was alone.

Its a really depressing feeling and don’t want anyone here to feel like that. Doesn’t matter if you know your ace and/or aro or just questioning.

Hi lovely, how do you feel a date night with kirishima would go, finally getting to be alone and just relax and get to know each other more. Just real wholesome boyfriend material

dating him would include...

featuring: kirishima

i think i’ve thought about this a little too much o_0 enjoy!

his feelings hit deep so if he’s got a crush on you, he’s immediately down bad 

he’d be pretty nervous to ask you out but he knows it’s the manly thing to do so he tries to do it in the least creepy way possible (he’s seen too many tiktoks about red flags in men)

much to his relief, you say yes and he’s a very happy boy 

pretty much any date that you go on with him, he’ll plan everything and you literally don’t have to worry about anything or him relying on you to decide where to eat and whatnot

of course, if there is somewhere in particular that you would like to go or eat, he’ll take you without any hesitation 

speaking of food, he wants to take you out to his favorite restaurant but opts for a simple walk around town for a first date

it’s not much but he figures it’s more casual and relaxed and you can get to know each other without worrying about talking with your mouth full

at least, that’s what he would be worried about

although he tried to reduce the pressure, he’s still very nervous, especially in the beginning

he wants to impress you but doesn’t want to come off as someone he’s not

but honestly, he literally has it all so how could you not like him?

he’s definitely thought about kissing you but knows that wouldn’t be appropriate after only walking around and talking with you

however, he does get a hug from you and he’s over the moon just from that

and the fact that you agreed to a second date

that’s when he gets to kiss you for the first time and the rest was history

since then, you become comfortable with each other pretty quickly

he likes a good amount of pda to show everyone that you’re taken but never too much 

he really likes holding your hand or touching you in some way when you’re out together

his touch is always very gentle and never forced upon you so you always welcome it

then there are times when you can’t keep your hands off of each other (i.e. that one hiking trip he decided to take with you turned into more than a simple bonding activity)

he gives the best massages too. his hands are a little rough to the touch but again, he’s very aware of himself and delivers enough pressure to release tension (this is also a scenario that can take a spicy turn real quick) 

he isn’t perfect and he’ll forget things that were important or might feel like he doesn’t give you enough praise or support. sometimes he’ll even wonder how or why you’re dating him

so that’s when it’s your turn to tell him how much he means to you and how much you appreciate his effort, love, and care

every so often you try to put your words into actions and do something nice for him like taking him somewhere and treating him or making something for him

he tends to get emotional so expect some tears and lots of kisses and giant hugs from him when you surprise him

he feels so lucky to have you as a s/o

he’s loved you ever since practically your first date but he chooses to wait and confess on a special day, like valentine’s day or your birthday

he makes it extra special because he loves you so much and the reciprocation that you provide fills his heart with warmth and joy

in conclusion, eijiro kirishima would be the best boyfriend, especially the best wholesome one

let’s have a good time, bnha night! who else is boyfriend material..

Hello Sen, Do you sometimes get questions about specific things that happened in Manacled but that you didn't think much of and You find yourself -1st blown away with readers attention to details and wild imagination and -2nd asking yourself the question and considering what might have happened? And have you ever gotten a question and your reaction was just: o_0 How and Why?! Have a nice day/evening, you are my favorite author I devour everything you create!🤍🤍🤍

I mean… in a testament to how ridiculously overwrought the story is, there are actually not that many things that I have never thought about. 😂 Generally speaking, the ones that I don’t have a solid answer for are open ended specifically because I like to leave certain aspects open to reader interpretation rather than ascribing a “official” extra-canon answer to every single detail. That’s why you’ll notice that in a lot of my asks about Manacled, I specifically say “I think…” or “I tend to imagine…” because if it didn’t make it into the actual text of the story, it’s not canon, if readers have a different understanding or headcanon about an unspecified detail, I’m not going to tell them they’re wrong.

The only questions that have generally been completely outside of my consideration are AU’s that are basically an entirely different story in the same way that Manacled is an AU from HP canon, there’s such an infinite number of what if’s that can be considered, I just don’t tend to spend the time thinking them through because they’re an entirely different story. Or occasionally people will send me extremely kink specific questions about Draco and Hermione’s sex life post-epilogue, and while I have thoughts and opinions about the evolving dynamic of their sexual-emotional relationship, that just doesn’t really extend to the mechanics of particular kinks.

Been doing a rewatch of 911.

I still don’t like how the show handled the storyline with Buck’s parents.

The show went out of the way to hammer home that his parents weren’t abusive like Maddie even says to Chimney before her parents come to visit they weren’t bad parents just not around a lot which is clearly not true when we see how they are. There’s a lot of ways parents (or anyone) can be abusive that have nothing to do with physical abuse and often the mental and emotional abuse can be worse.

I don’t understand why Maddie even had her parents come to LA and for Buck of all people. She saw Buck was having a hard time and seeing a therapist so her answer for that was to call them? o_0 These detached, manipulative, self centered parents who looked for every opportunity to judge and criticize their own children. I just don’t get it.

And I know most of fandom doesn’t agree with me on this but I’ll never be okay with Maddie keeping that secret from Buck once they were both no longer dependent on their parents. I get that Maddie was also abused and manipulated by her parents, so that obviously played a role in why she hid it for so long and I know part of her decision was also because she didn’t want to hurt Buck but it wasn’t right. She would have wanted to know and Buck deserved to know. He deserved to know about his brother and he didn’t to deserve to be lied to.

I could deal with all of that though if the storyline would have wrapped up in a way that felt like the writers cared about Buck and like they weren’t trying to excuse the abusive parents in the end. Unfortunately the majority of Buck’s storyline felt very much like the writers were making the abusive parents out to be the victims. Like they had been so grief stricken over Daniel that they just couldn’t help but treat Buck awful. Which is just bs in my opinion. There’s no excuse for how they treated their kids especially Buck.

At the end Buck says that his parents wanted him to forgive them but the convo starts off with him apologizing to them. We also don’t see them actually try to make amends or even really apologize on screen. In a later episode after Buck Begins Buck says something about going to therapy with his parents but the thing is people like his parents rarely change and it’s likely they won’t. As  someone who grew up in an abusive home I have a big problem with the  message this episode puts out that you have to forgive someone just because they’re your family. It’s okay if you say you’re toxic and I’m cutting you out of my life, which is what I think Buck and Maddie should have done.

I also didn’t like the end scene with Maddie because Buck deserved an apology from her and instead he was apologizing to her for being angry. Buck was not the one in the wrong in this episode his family was and I just feel like the writers dropped the ball. I know a lot of people loved this episode (and there’s things I like a lot about it) but it’s painful for me everytime I watch it. I just end up feeling like I want to protect Buck and say you’re not alone and the way they’re treating you isn’t okay.

Dameon would notice way before anyone would get hit at all. 14. [Ryuu] stole [Daisy’s] most valuable item (or person). What happens next? Since she is good with animals she would offer them a snack trying to trade her item back 15. [Danny] found a Death Note! Who die?

Welp, since the one he hates the most is already death... Mitch would probably take it from him since Danny wants nothing to do with it 16. [Secret], [Shadow] and [Silver] are stay in [Mitch]’s house while the house is surrounded by zombies! Wait, what do you mean [Secret] was bitten by a zombie?

Shadow encourages Mitch to shoot Secret but Silver prevents this. Uhm Dameon, help?! 17. [Miku] found a time machine. What does he/she do?

She would’t do anything with it actually. 18. [Sky], [Silver] and [Dameon] decided to rob a bank. How did it go?

Dameon? Really.... Well... Very well thought out with a super difficult over the top plan that works out perfectly 19. Oh no! [Ryuu] was hit by a fire truck! Who (in the list) will be the first one to show up in the hospital?

Dameon. 20. Tag someone? If you don’t do tagging, tell me [Daisy]’s dark secret.

Her dark Secret...  The spacecake that Sky accidentally gave to somet kids was actually meant for himself, swapped by Daisy who didn't know the cake would end up with kids. Sky blames himself she never told him.

May 2021 Books

Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston

The worldbuilding was stronger than the characters, who (besides the heroine) felt a bit underdeveloped to me, but the story was engaging and I would read the sequel whenever it’s released.

On the Wasteland and Requiem for a Princess by Ruth M. Arthur

These were a find from our children’s section and...I really don’t remember much about them, besides Requiem being a solid if not spectacular example of mid-twentieth-century children’s time-slip fiction.

Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary (reread)

A co-worker brought this one up, and I reread it out of curiosity. My brother borrowed it from a library when we were kids and I read it too, and I was surprised on the reread how much of the wording felt as familiar as if I’d last read it recently. Cleary as ever is brilliant at slice-of-life and capturing children’s concerns on their own terms; this one was well deserving of the Newbery.

Casper Tock and the Everdark Wings by Abi Elphinstone

I love the name Utterly Thankless for a character in a whimsical children’s story, and I wanted to love this book. But it was rather a slog to get through, despite not being overly long. The worldbuilding and plot were over-complicated and the characterization and arcs felt rather paint-by-the-numbers and overly spelled out, even for a children’s book.

Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee

A loose retelling of “The Snow Queen,” I think. And I think I liked it overall? Can’t remember, it’s been too long.

A Clock of Stars: The Shadow Moth by Francesca Gibbons

Maybe a few too many standard fantasy tropes, but the world and characters are fun and charming and I’d like to read the sequel.

Kingfishers Catch Fire and Mr. McFadden’s Hallowe’en by Rumer Godden

Read because my library happened to have them and I wanted to read more Godden. Neither of these are my favorite of hers (Kingfishers is a frustrating read), but they’re effectively written.

Handbook for Dragon Slayers by Merrie Haskell

I enjoyed Haskell’s The Castle behind Thorns, and this was no less delightful. Despite the fantasy elements, the setting is clearly historically medieval, which gives the world depth. And I loved the deconstruction of the trope of the princess who wants to evade her responsibilities to follow her dreams (what she wants is not as idealized as she expects, and her duty and her interests don’t have to be mutually exclusive categories); it’s a lot more nuance than these sorts of books tend to have, and I’m impressed.

The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell

...and then I read this one, and how they could both have been written by the same author is baffling to me. It’s a mixture of “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” and the myth of Persephone and Hades, which in theory is interesting and creative but I wasn’t crazy about ***SPOILERS*** the book’s dropping a lot of subplots and supporting characters partway through to concentrate on the twelve-year-old heroine’s romance/marriage with the (adult, not fully human) king of the Underworld, which is portrayed as a good thing. (She ultimately gets sent back home until she’s eighteen and ready to consummate the marriage, and she’s just thrilled about returning to him. o_0)

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (reread)

Reread for analysis purposes. Thank you to my sister (the one who’s not on Tumblr and thus won’t see this) for loaning me her copy.

Thorn by Intisar Khanani

A retelling of “The Goose Girl” that contrasts interestingly with Shannon Hale’s retelling. This one is definitely for more mature audiences (in terms of weighty themes, not explicit content). A slow, subtle romance and more emphasis on the heroine’s relationships with the people who take her in while she is in disguise.

The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin (reread)

A loose modern retelling of “Hansel and Gretel,” with more emotional depth than expected from a middle-grade book.

Floodpath by Emily B. Martin

A worthy successor to Sunshield. It held my interest throughout and had effective character development (there’s a scene between Veran and his mother that nearly made me cry, which is an accomplishment). I still haven’t entirely warmed to Lark, and not all of the themes really worked for me, but on the whole, very enjoyable and readable. 

Smek for President! by Adam Rex (reread)

The first book is a hard act to follow, but this one is still fun.

The Memoirs of Jack Chelwood by Constance Savery

Savery apparently considered this one her best work. I would debate her on that if I could, but it’s certainly the lengthiest and most intricate of what I’ve read of hers.

The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz

A historical fiction book that takes the daring approach of exploring period-accurate prejudice and bias in the heroine. It’s apparently sparked controversy for this, but I appreciated Schlitz’s willingness to be honest about a part of history that would be more pleasant to sanitize. Joan’s navigating the religious differences between herself and her employers and having her preceptions challenged made for an intriguing story. Even if I wasn’t crazy about the romance. But then when am I ever.

Another Lady: A Biography of Constance Savery by Eric Schonblom

I enjoyed getting to know more about Savery. The research was impressively meticulous, though the prose could have been benefited from an editor and a more scholarly tone. I had hoped for more literary analysis of her works, but what was addressed was interesting. 

The Mysterious Girl in the Garden by Judith St. George

Time-travel story on the youngest end of middle-grade. Very slight but I would have loved it as a child. It did make me curious about Princess Charlotte Augusta, so I’m going to have to find a biography.

Treasures of the Snow by Patricia St. John

There were excerpts of this book in our elementary school reading texts, but I never had access to the full book as a child. I probably would have enjoyed it more then, but it’s a charming story overall even amid the heavy-handed moralizing. (But I do question the likelihood of characters native to Switzerland, where most Protestants are/were from the Reformed tradition, espousing very evangelical-American Arminian soteriology.)

When Patty Went to College and Just Patty by Jean Webster

Someone on Goodreads described Patty Wyatt as a sort of female Psmith, and they were not wrong. She is a delightfully clever, witty young woman who can talk her way out of just about anything and enjoys messing with people for her own amusement. (Interestingly, she does predate Psmith. Was this sort of character a popular trope of the 1900s?) Webster deconstructs the implications of such a character; Patty’s tendencies do get her into trouble and she experiences remorse. The ending of When Patty Went to College could be interpreted as a disappointing and sudden reformation of her character, but its ambiguity (has she changed or is this another ironic game she’s playing?) saves it.

Just Patty is a fun read, but I enjoyed it less. It’s a prequel, which one would think would require a return to Patty in full Psmith-mode, but she doesn’t quite seem to be the same character--more overtly altruistic, that sort of thing. They’re both worth reading but the first is my favorite.

Also I was very struck by how similar the concerns of college life in 1902 were to those nowadays. Patty and her friends, despite being at a Gilded-Age all-women college, are quite relatable. No one seems to have any issues with them pursuing higher education as women (if a book set in this time and place were written today, it would be very preoccupied with sexism), and romantic interests are present but peripheral and not anyone’s primary concern. Not what one would expect, and rather refreshing.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (reread)

Reread on a whim, since I’m rewatching In Earnest my emotional support webseries.

#I've been traveling/visiting for much of the month and so got a lot in #May felt like it was a thousand years long and I seem to have read some of these in another lifetime #random personal stuff

“Familiar Wife (2021)”

137.

Title: “Shitteiru Wife” (Familiar Wife) Genre: Romantic, Comedy Season: Winter 2021 TV Station: Fuji TV Theme Song: “Kimi to Mitai Sekai” by Kanjani8 Starring: Tadayoshi Okura, Alice Hirose, Miori Takimoto, Kouhei Matsushita, Rina Kawaei, Katsuhisa Namase Date Finished: March 23, 2021 My Personal Reason for Watching: If you follow this blog, you know the obvious reason is Okura, right?;)

(^^ Tacchon in a rom-com drama? Please and thank you!)

Motoharu Kenzaki (Okura) and Mio (Hirose) are married and have two children. Motoharu works at a bank and is stressed over work, but at home, he is constantly scolded by Mio. Motoharu believes that the sweet and cute girl he fell in love with is completely different, and thinks he was tricked into marrying a monster. Motoharu by chance meets his former college classmate, Sayaka (Takimoto), and she admits that she liked him back in the day. Motoharu wonders how his life would’ve been if he chose her. He receives a 500 yen coin from a mysterious man, Koike (Namase) and is given the chance to time travel back and see what his life could’ve been if he never married Mio.

(^^ Oh yeah, just your standard rom-com…but with time travel?!)

I know this was based off a Korean drama and since I haven’t seen the Korean version, I don’t have anything to compare with. Therefore, this review will be solely on the Japanese version. When I was watching the first episode, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would be the standard rom-com, but when they brought in that time travel aspect, I was hooked! Okura and Hirose had good chemistry. Although I love Okura, I really did not like his character through most of the drama. He was so immature and ungrateful, not helping out Mio with the housework at all! No wonder she was pissed all the time. Then, he gets to run away from it all and marries someone else…what are you doing, Motoharu?! (Well, if he didn’t do that then there would be no drama^^;;). Also, it was laughable the way they just pretty much forgot about the kids. I think Motoharu cried for like two seconds over losing his kids and then got over it.

(^^ You were just so selfish that you had your own kids disappear, huh?o_0)

The supporting cast was great and you start to care about the other characters such as Motoharu’s best friend, Tsuyama (Matsushita) who falls in love with Mio, the mysterious man that is Koike and the unlikely couple of Motoharu’s sister and best friend, Nagisa and Naoki. Even Motoharu’s co-worker, Shinohara got a spin-off! There are many unanswered questions though. Like…how did Koike get the coin and knew he could time travel in the first place? Does that gate only appear when you have the coin? *SPOILER ALERT* how did Mio’s mom have the coin and how did she know about Motoharu and Mio? So many questions!! Besides that, I did thoroughly enjoy the drama! The time travel aspect was a refreshing take on the same-old love triangle trope and it had a great cast. 

Favorites: Favorite Character: Hmm I didn’t particularly like any of the leads lol. Maybe Tsuyama, but maybe it’s cause I felt bad for him>< Favorite Episode: You know…I finished watching this almost four months ago so I really don’t remember XD They were all pretty consistent in terms of moving the story along.  Favorite Scene: When Mio needed someone’s help with a customer who was being scammed and did her secret signal to Motoharu

(^^ “Help! This old lady’s being scammed by someone who she think is her son and this is how I’m telling you!”)

“Familiar Wife” Rating: Story: ✭✭✭½ Cute love story with a twist! Acting: ✭✭✭✭ Such a great main and supporting cast. Theme Song: ✭✭✭✭ Nice ballad from Kanjani8 that fits the drama perfectly. Total: 11.5/15

Next Up: “Kizoku Tantei”

(^^ The true love story right there XD)
