Since you have been the first 'Crowley deserves to have his boundaries' person I have seen in the tags on weeks. What do you think about the talk in the fandom on how Crowley should have accepted going to Heaven 'to do good and stop the Apocalypse' and that 'he also rejected Aziraphale'? It personally gives me the creeps because the narrative makes clear that Heaven is a big white nightmare but the fandom seems to be taking the 'Aziraphale might jot be perfect' thing hard and therefore Heaven is fixable now...
Glad to know I am not alone in my little boundaries corner! I'm always here for discussions about it.
And, oh boy, do I have thoughts on that, let's see if I can get them to be somewhat coherent.
I am going to start this off with a metaphor of sorts and hopefully people will be able to follow along. I'm an older sibling and have a little sister, and we grew up in an incredibly abusive and neglectful household.
When I graduated high school, I moved out for university, which was literally the best thing to ever happen to me - I got away, I was/am free! Now I have to deal with the consequences of all that shit though.
If my sister asked me to come back so I can help her fix our mother (entirely theoretical btw she'd never lol) would it be the right thing to say yes? Should I give up my personal freedom, my life, the healing process I am right in the middle of, to go back to a household that broke me? So I can be trapped with a person that will never change again?
The answer is, of course, no. I feel bad for my sister and I am praying she will be able o move out soon, but me going back would not solve a single fucking thing. See where I'm going with this yet?
Crowley left heaven and landed on earth, which was ultimately good for him, but he has a lot to process and heal from; he's right in the middle of his own recovery.
Heaven will not change, it cannot be changed. The entire institution is working as intended, and the intention is to be abusive, manipulative, and have as much power over everyone as possible. You cannot fix that, you need to get rid of it.
Aziraphale has good intentions, but he is also still trapped in that abusive household because he never moved out, he is the sibling that stayed behind, just mentally instead of physically.
Hot take, but many people in this fandom are incapable of understanding that "Aziraphale is acting based on good intentions and is still actively being abused/traumatized" and "Aziraphale did bad and unhealthy things and his relationship with Crowley was co-dependent and toxic" are co-existing. Both are true.
Both. are. true.
He did messed up shit out of a trauma response, but he is still responsible for his actions, and at the same time he deserves a chance to heal and move on from it. Please, at this point I am begging people to understand that this is not a black and white issue.
Crowley did not reject Aziraphale, if anything, Aziraphale rejected him.
Crowley said no to returning to an abusive environment for an impossible task. Crowley said no to sacrificing his mental and physical health for something that he knows will not happen. Crowley, for the first time in his life, set a clear and final boundary and put himself and his life over Aziraphale's wishes.
That is a good thing. It is necessary.
Season 3 will not be about Aziraphale fixing heaven or preventing the second coming (if anything it'll be accidental just like in season 1). It's going to be about him finding his way out of his abusive household and into a healthy environment in which they're both free and can heal.
Apart AND together.
It's not happily ever after, it's not perfect romance, it's not "soul-mates" or anything. It is messy, it is real, it is complicated, and I am so fucking tired of seeing it reduced to "love conquers all".

Can I send a request of yandere Kenshi specifically masked kenshi.
Author's Notes: By “masked Kenshi” I imagine when he already has the bandana, right? I'm kind of bad at English, I'm sorry if this one-shot isn't as you expected.
BTW Im sorry for taking me so much time to make this :c
Yandere! Kenshi
Tumblr media
Yandere Character: Kenshi (I don't remember his last name)
From the video game/manga/anime/movie/series: Mortal Kombat 1
Case: kidnapping, mention of escape, Stockholm syndrome.
Warnings: No.
Finished: Yes
≧◉◡◉≦≧◉◡◉≦≧◉◡◉≦≧◉◡◉≦≧◉◡◉≦≧◉◡◉≦
I always found his behavior strange.
Maybe that was why I initially wanted to get closer to him. It was mostly my cheap curiosity, though, he took it personally; thinking that I really was in love with him and was looking to have a life with him, even when that wasn't really the case. He locked me away and forced me to live this life, one I never sought, nor desired, but it was also not something I could face or counteract.
I still remember very well the night he took me away from everyone. It was cold and a little cloudy, but never cloudy enough for it to rain, it seemed that he had been waiting for this moment, a moment in which it was at any moment it could rain and thus clear his tracks, but at the same time be was going to give me enough time to take me away from everyone, to get away from this life that I always had.
The first nights in which he kidnapped me, I didn't have a very good time, so to speak, in the sense that he was quite strict and almost every time I responded badly or did something in a way that he didn't consider correct, he responded by screaming or trying to hurt me, condescending manner. And it was totally the opposite if it was “good.”
To tell the truth, I would never have suspected that this could happen, since the few conversations I had with him were focused on quests or with other people, and I found it surprising that it all ended this way.
But hey, at least I don't have chains on my hands 24 hours a day —Do I have them on my feet at night? Yes—, but it is necessary, important, just as I couldn't control the rest of the things and much less could I know what moment would be the right one to get out of here.
And although most of the time he was at home —or at least the time I was awake since I slept in the afternoon— and he was not very talkative so to speak…, in fact for the most part he always remained serious and without saying almost anything. no words.
I often get depressed thinking about the days before this, where I was happy, where I knew everyone and where I had friends everywhere, but now that was purely taken away from me. And although I understand his reasons fairly well, I consider them unfair, selfish and aberrant.
But at least his family came to visit me from time to time, even Cage came to visit me and gave me certain things like clothes or books.
In fact, I find it surprising that someone like him is the only one allowed to talk to me. And although when I asked him if he could try to convince Kenshi of the decisions he was making, but he just shook his head saying that it is a hopeless case, and that the best thing I could do was get used to it, even if it was an attempt.
Pathetic, was what I thought; It seemed quite strange to me that the only person who even had the possibility of helping me decided to simply turn his back on me and give me minimal things so that I could at least try to "get used to" this life that I have now.
But hey, nothing is worse.
Honestly, I kept thinking that maybe it would just be a passing feeling, something that he would temporarily feel that would last until a certain period, and that he would progressively let me go, letting me go…, but I would never be more wrong.
As the days went by he seemed to be gaining more confidence, which was the complete opposite of what I expected. Sometimes he brought me gifts, during the nights he asked me if I wanted to sleep with him, if he could stand next to me so he could protect me while I rested, and although sometimes I refused, eventually I had to give in and know that I would never have a normal life again.
I still remember one time I tried to escape, I tried to try and see how far he could go, to where he was going to chase me. I tried to go to several cities or even go many towns away, seeking even the support of someone like Liu Kang or any of his warriors to think about even going with the Ling Kuei, but I quickly ruled it out since I was at war with their “other half” of the family.
However, each attempt was worse than the last, since he always found me, sometimes faster, sometimes he took a few days, etc. It was strange to think how he knew where I was because he would even have found me even faster than I could think.
Even if he have sometimes raised his voice to me, i understand it in some point, maybe be because my attempts to escape being almost daily at one point.
He would constantly increase the number of chains on my body or simply add more security to the window or doors, but I always found some way to escape from those four walls.
However, those events were a couple of months ago; I would say about six. And in fact, thinking recently I realized that I was quite skilled at one point, being that I could go through entire towns and get tired only when I had just arrived, and only when I knew I was safe could I give myself a rest and a well-deserved lie down on a bed.
And now I knew there was no way to escape, that somehow I would always know where I was, that no matter where I went, I would always know when and how to find myself at the right moment, I knew that my life was condemned to remain by his side. , chained and locked in a place that almost no one knew.
And that's why today was a special day.
I barely managed to become aware of the time and time I was in; I got out of bed, gave the room a little order and approached the door at the entrance to my room, but before I could take the doorknob, he opened the door, a soft squeak of wood was heard. , silent.
—Hello, Kenshi, —I greeted, my voice softer than usual —, how did you wake up?
He didn't answer, he just took one of my hands.
I smiled, knowing the habit he had picked up for a couple of months. He would check my palms, caress my skin and notice if it was more damaged, or rougher than my skin normally is, and if it was, then he didn't treat me very well during the day.
—Then I guess the noises were from the animals —he mentioned, his fingers now running over the tips of mine —. I'm glad to know you haven't hurt yourself trying to run away yet.
A soft laugh escapes my lips, letting him take and caress my palm to his liking.
—Yeah, digging in the dirt wasn't such a good idea for my hands, you know? I learned it months ago —I joked, before separating his hands from mine. —. By the way, are there wild animals at night?
He remained imperturbably calm, and only nodded in response.
—Two nights ago I noticed them —he admitted, —but I thought you were you trying to escape.
I laughed at this, before taking one of his hands, my fingers settling into the gaps between his half-open ones. My gaze stayed on our hold, as I only panted softly.
—Well, then I guess you would have to get used to dealing with those animals.
He looked confused, and was even more so when he saw the grip he had with my fingers wrapped around each of his knuckles.
—Just because you said so?
—Because I don't plan any escape.
—You always say the same thing, —he emphasizes—, and then you run away from me.
—This time is different —I clarify, before looking at him again for a second, I gently pressed my fingers against his knuckles again —, I seriously don't plan anything."
Just by noticing the gesture of his lips and eyebrows I noticed that he was hesitant; He had learned the different expressions he had, and each one was more intriguing than the last.
—Fine. —he whispered, not very convinced.
He let go of my hand, and without telling me anything he just left the hallway, going to what I assumed was his room.
Since he never let me into his room; It was a strange thing, the obsession he had with me not touching his room under any circumstances.
In part, I was a little hurt by his indifference to my revelation, since I very rarely lied to him, but it didn't take me long to go look for him.
His steps were not hurried, but he could tell that he just wanted to be alone for a moment. When I tried to call him, he ignored me, and only advanced to the door of his room, where he took out the padlock that secured it and entered it.
Denying what I was trying to tell him, I just headed to the kitchen, ready to finally replenish my energy with anything that would serve as fuel for my body. And while I was taking some time to prepare it, I was just thinking about a couple of things.
Since when had I accepted my destiny? I guess I've been thinking about it for a month now.
How long will this last? Until the end of my life, I guess.
Do I have any way to escape? Nah, most likely not.
It was a little painful to think that I was no longer going to try to regain my long-awaited freedom, limited to being between six rooms and a hallway.
The more I think about it, the more my mind focuses on random points in my vision, and in the end, I just longed to stop overthinking this situation.
Suddenly, I notice that a hand took mine, giving gentle caresses and stopping my movements.
—Oh, Kenshi, what would you like…?
—How sure are you that you're not going to escape?
I gasped softly, trying not to lose my bearings at that moment.
—I already told you that I'm not going to escape.
—You said the same thing 6 months ago, and then you ran away.
—What way do you have to prove that I am trying to escape?
—You're too calm these days.
I sighed, stopping cooking.
—You are too paranoid.
He frowned, before letting go of my hand.
—I'm not, I just don't trust you.
I tried again and again to reason with him, but I found little use in conversing with him. I felt stressed thinking that this was useless, coincidentally I got tired but I couldn't get out of that situation, I wanted to stay there for as long as possible.
But it only exhausted me more mentally the thought of him that I was about to escape, or that I was planning to do something bad to him.
It was then that, out of my own coherent line of thought, I limited myself to taking a sharp step towards him, placing myself right next to his body and my face facing his cheek.
Gently but quickly my lips landed on his cheek, placing a soft kiss on his undamaged skin.
The sensation of kissing his skin wasn't very different from other things, in fact it was almost like giving a kiss to my wayward pet.
However, when I moved away from the sudden display of affection, a hand on the back of my neck stopped me, forcing our lips to connect with each other with a gentle but forceful push.
With my pupils dilated, I was surprised, knowing that I couldn't escape his grasp, I limited myself to just letting him follow his path with the contact, unless until he wanted to stop.
—I guess that's a sign of trust, —He playfully separated from me —, tell me, will you give me more signs of trust in the future?
Playful and idiotic, I guess I discovered a new side of him.

Pull the trigger (Modern!Ivar/Reader)
A/N: Hello! As I said, here's the first chapter of my new fic♥️ I've been working on it for a while and it's halfway done but I wanted to start posting it now. It will have 20 chapters, or at least that's what I'm planning, because I'm still writing chapter 11! Some chapters are a bit longer than others (and others are way longer💀 sorry). It's a bit of a slowburn so maybe the first chapters could feel boring, I hope it's worth it 👀. In the future it will also contain things that can be triggering and that aren't very nice to read, I will write a disclaimer whenever it's necessary (and I always put warnings before the chapters) but this fic is dark, just so you know!
but this chapter is all good I think! so enjoy please❤️ and thank you so so much for reading!
btw it will also be available in AO3, in case you prefer reading it there🫶🏼
Warnings: vague mentions of sex, alcohol... not much, this one is okay👀

Thora hadn't stopped gasping and widening her eyes since she entered the Lothbrok house. Hvitserk had left her in the kitchen, promising he'd be back very soon with some cash and then he'd take her out to dinner. Of course she knew about the Lothbroks' reputation, what they did and their wealth. But she never imagined she'd experience it so closely. Of course her friends had advised her not to go out with Hvitserk Lothbrok, whom, they said, was the most accessible but one of the worst ones in that family. But he had been nothing but sweet and charming to her. It probably wouldn't last, but his green eyes had captivated her enough to make her say yes to a few dates with him. She just didn't expect to visit his family house so soon. 
Fortunately, no one seemed to be around. She had already met Ubbe, Hvitserk's older brother, and on their second date they had gone to a concert in which Sigurd, his younger brother, had played with his band. She had seen his mother, Aslaug, in some of the charity events she had organised, and his older half-brother, Björn, had been the visible face of his father's business for years, so she could recognize him anywhere. But they still intimidated her. 
The worst part would be encountering Ivar. Hvitserk's little brother alone was more intimidating to her than all of his older brothers together. She hadn't met him yet, she had only seen him from afar. Especially while partying or during university events. It seemed almost impossible that Ivar and Hvitserk were so close, while Hvitserk was playful, teasing and charming, Ivar was dark, intimidating and rude. Hvitserk insisted that his little brother wasn't that bad, that it was just that the world and people hadn't been especially kind to him, so it was just his way of protecting himself.
But, in Thora's opinion, his legs and crutches weren't an excuse to be a dick to everyone. 
“Here I am, beautiful" Hvitserk smiled widely at her as he entered, a laptop under his arm and winking before hopping on one of the stools next to the kitchen island "Would you mind if I send a couple of emails before we leave? Ubbe hasn't stopped annoying me with it for the entire day and I would rather not have any interruptions during our date" he smiled apologetically at her, and Thora couldn't help but smile back, nodding. 
“Of course, take your time" she smiled “It's still early, we have time"
That wasn't exactly true. In fact, it was a blatant lie. She had promised her group of friends she'd be back in their apartment for their weekly night of pizza and movies, but... They'd understand, right? 
“Good" Hvitserk smiled “I'll drive you back home, so you don't need to worry about taxis or anything like that" 
Thora bit her lip to hold back a smile, and looked away so she could hide her excited expression. 
Just when she was opening her mouth to reply, she heard it. 
The crutches. 
Hvitserk raised his head to look at his brother. Neither of them had heard the front door opening and closing, but Ivar had just arrived home... Two hours earlier than he was supposed to. 
“Hello, Ivar" Hvitserk smirked at him, feeling Thora tensing up and moving close to him “You're early" 
“Didn't think you'd be home" Ivar muttered as his iced eyes roamed around Thora's figure “And that you'd have company" 
“Be nice, Ivar" Hvitserk sighed.
“I don't think my brother has introduced us" he moved like a serpent, and while his movements were slow, Thora feared he'd jump over her at any moment. 
“I'm Thora" she cleared her throat. Never mind how anxious she felt in his presence, she refused to let him know that. 
“Nice name" Ivar nodded slowly, a smirk on his lips “I look forward to seeing you around here, Thora" and his eyes went back to his brother “I hope she doesn't end up like Margrethe" 
Thora frowned. She had heard about Margrethe. She was once the most popular girl in town, fooling around with all of the Lothbroks for a while, and then was Ubbe's girlfriend before he broke up with her. 
“Ivar" Hvitserk sighed. 
His brother pouted with an innocent expression and looked back to Thora one last time before he turned around, leaving. 
“Ignore him" Hvitserk shot her a charming smile “He enjoys getting on my nerves, he won't bother us again" 
Thora nodded, biting her lip as Hvitserk pressed send on the second email and closed the laptop, turning to kiss her softly. 
“Let's go, then" 
_______________________________________
“I can't believe she stood us up" you scoffed, shaking your head and staring at your phone “For a guy" 
“Thora hasn't dated in like forever" Ingrid shrugged, laying back on the couch with her eyes fixed on the TV “It's normal that she wants to spend time with him"
“But it's Hvitserk" you raised an eyebrow “Like... It's the last guy she should be dating" 
“She's a grown up, she can take care of herself, Y/N" Astrid chuckled. 
“I don't like his family" you pressed your lips together “They act like they own Kattegat, they walk around barking orders to everyone else and expect them to comply, the police know they're not clean and they won't do anything! It's just unfair" 
“They're almost royalty" Ingrid sat to grab the gin bottle you had left on the table “No one is brave enough to stand up to them and no one wants to, they practically built this city"
“But how?" you narrowed your eyes. 
“Does it really matter when it has benefited most of the population?" she shrugged “My father told me that before Ragnar came here Kattegat was much smaller, it barely had any trading and all the money went to Haraldsson Industries, Ragnar built this city"
You rolled your eyes. You honestly couldn't understand the devotion most of the people would show that family, just because they had money! You remembered all those articles you had read about them, that went as far as to call them "the king and princes of Kattegat", even though Ragnar Lothbrok hadn't stepped foot on Kattegat in years. In university, only two of the brothers continued their studies, and you had some classes in common with one of them. 
When you had arrived in Kattegat to start university you already knew about them. Björn and Ubbe Lothbrok were famous in all of Europe, and their younger brother Hvitserk -now Thora's... Friend- had been the protagonist of some of the biggest scandals you had ever read about. Parties in Saint Tropez, Sicily, Ibiza, Mykonos, Dubrovnik...  Hvitserk always was in the middle of the scandals, which his brothers tried to clean as quickly as possible so no one would learn the name of the lady that surrendered to their brother's charms. Ubbe was the only one you held some sympathy for, he looked nice and sweet. You hadn't had that much contact with his older half-brother and had avoided Hvitserk as much as you could. 
Sigurd wasn't that close to his brothers, he spent his days at university, where he studied music and composition. Instead of a yacht in the Mediterranean, Sigurd could be found in the auditorium, rehearsing with his band or practising his next recital. You had never talked to him, and had no intention of doing so. 
Ivar was the worst, with a difference. 
Being a student interested in politics, history and geopolitical issues, you had some classes with him, who studied a mix of politics, history and Scandinavian studies. He didn't even need those studies, he already had a secured position in his father's business, being the brightest of them. And you didn't ever know why he bothered to attend the classes, as he always looked bored and had gone as far as to correct the professors and roll his eyes at their explanations. It was like he believed himself to be better than everyone, and even if he didn't pay attention in class, he had the highest grades, which also annoyed you to no end. 
Some people said Ragnar also had a daughter, Björn's sister, that lived in Hedeby, a town not that far from Kattegat, with her mother. As you didn't know her, you couldn't have an opinion but if she was half as... Irritating as her brothers, you were fine with not knowing her. 
But what bothered you the most about that family was their money. It was impossible to gain that much money with a normal business like the one they ran, and everyone knew they also had business with drugs, ams trafficking, blackmailing... But no one did anything. They had played dirty for a ridiculous amount of money and you had to keep searching for jobs to help pay rent and groceries and were always running low at the end of the month. 
“Y/N, you can stop stabbing the ice cream now" Astrid sounded amused, and her voice startled you. Looking down, you saw the bowl and the spoon buried in it so deep that you almost folded it when you took it out. 
“Look, if you're eventually right and Hvitserk does break Thora's heart..."
“When he breaks Thora's heart" you corrected, narrowing your eyes. 
“Whatever" Ingrid rolled her eyes “If he does, you will have our blessing and our help kicking his ass" 
You didn't reply, your eyes going back to the forgotten tv, a bit annoyed because they didn't seem to care about the fact that Thora was out there with a criminal. 
When the movie ended, the three of you went to bed. You had sent a couple of messages to Thora but she didn't reply, and as neither Astrid nor Ingrid seemed too interested in your anti-Lothbrok ranting, you made a late FaceTime call to your best friend as soon as you laid down in bed. 
Even if it was past midnight, you knew Alfred would be awake. He accepted your call and looked a bit tired as he greeted you with a smile. You could see he was still in his office. He worked for Ubbe Lothbrok, which was one of the reasons why he was the only one you held some sympathy for. Ubbe seemed to adore Alfred, and he was quite happy with his job, which allowed him to continue his studies. 
“Isn't it a bit late for you to be working?" you frowned. 
“I prefer to work at night, Y/N" he sighed. It was true. When you lived with him he always studied at night, he always said he preferred the silence and the quietness of the night, helped him to focus. You kind of understood him. 
“Yes but..."
“No, Y/N, I'm not being exploited at work" he chuckled “Elsewith is visiting her parents, so between staying here and being productive or being alone at home..."
“You could come here" you pouted. Since he moved in with his girlfriend and you moved in with the girls, you didn't see him as much as you'd like to. It was really strange to go from seeing him every day to seeing him a couple of times a week in class. 
“I wouldn't dream of ruining one of your girls' nights, Y/N" he smiled fondly at you.
“Well it was already ruined" you scoffed, looking away “Thora left us to go fool around with Hvitserk"
Alfred's eyebrows raised with interest. 
“They're together?"
“No, they're just... Fucking around, and no one will listen to me when I say this is going to end badly"
“I think your prejudice is talking for you here, Y/N" he chuckled “Look, I know these people more than you, they're not that bad. I don't have that much contact with Hvitserk, but I'm sure he's not that bad"
“I don't trust him, he's got a reputation..."
“But Thora is a big girl, Y/N, just like you, and she can take care of herself, don't sabotage your friend's relationship just because you think you know better than her" 
You pressed your lips together, finally realising no one would support you against them. Only time would prove you right. 
“I'm hungry" you frowned, looking at the clock. Would it be too late to go to the kitchen and eat a sandwich? You had barely eaten that night, too distracted hating on your friend's boyfriend “I'll run to the kitchen, wait" you left your phone leant on your bed as Alfred nodded and focused on his laptop again. 
But as soon as you stepped out of your room, crossing the hallway to reach the kitchen and already thinking about the sandwich, you heard giggles and low voices. 
Thora sat on the counter, a blonde guy with long hair stood between her legs, but fortunately they both were still dressed. They kissed and touched each other in a way that almost made you gag. Until Thora saw you, stopping immediately as a soft blush covered her cheeks. 
“Y/N, hi" she smiled, widening her eyes. The guy turned around and you were face to face with Hvitserk Lothbrok. His green eyes fixed on you and scanned your face and body with a smirk. You had to admit he was handsome, and that he had a different vibe than his brothers. 
“Y/N" he bit his lip, visibly amused “I've heard a lot about you, it's nice to meet you" 
“Hi" you raised an eyebrow, looking at Thora “I wish I could say the same" 
Hvitserk chuckled as Thora sighed, shaking her head with a small smile on her face. 
“I just wanted something to eat and I'll leave you alone" you shrugged, opening the fridge and trying to ignore Hvitserk's smirk. 
“I know you have harsh opinions about my family" he shook his head “But I hope you don't mind if I spend the night" 
“I was going to ask you, but I thought you were already asleep" Thora smiled apologetically. 
“I was talking to Alfred" you shrugged, opening and closing the fridge a bit more forcefully than you intended. 
“Oh little Alfred" Hvitserk looked very amused at your annoyance “Yes, Thora mentioned more than once that the two of you are close" 
You ignored him, taking a plate to start making your sandwich in silence. 
Thora looked at Hvitserk and pointed at the living room with a small smile, knowing you'd be much open when he left. 
“Are you mad at me?" she bit her lip and tilted her head at you. You narrowed your eyes at her “I'm sorry I didn't come to our weekly girls' night, I'll make it up to you" she smiled apologetically, and you tried to avoid her gaze. 
“You know what I think about the Lothbroks, Thora" you muttered, not really wanting Hvitserk to hear you. It was one thing to be distant and another one to be blatantly rude. 
“Yes, but Hvitserk is really nice" she pouted "I swear, Y/N, he's nice, sweet, charming, funny..." 
You widened your eyes and raised an eyebrow, finally turning your head to look at her. 
“Don't you dare fall in love with him" you pointed your finger at her. She giggled and shook her head, putting your hand away. 
“I'm serious, Y/N, if you gave him a chance and got to know him a bit more, you'll be surprised, I think the two of you could get along very well if you tried"
“Look, if you want to date him, it's fine by me, I don't care if you bring him home as long as you don't have sex on the couch, the couch is sacred, but don't force me to spend time with him and most importantly, when he breaks your heart don't come crying at me because I will only say 'I told you'"
Thora smiled widely, giggling as she leant in to hug you. 
“I love you, you're the best friend ever, your couch is safe" she kissed your cheek “I know you will be there whenever I need you, you can't fool me" 
You rolled your eyes when she finally stepped back, with a small smile on your lips. You quickly finished the sandwich, turning to the fridge again to put the food back and giving her a last look before kissing her cheek and leaving the kitchen. 
“Good night, Y/N" Hvitserk, sitting on your beloved couch, smirked at you “It was a pleasure meeting you" 
You sighed, but shot him a forced smile before going back to your room. 
“I like her" Hvitserk chuckled when Thora joined him on the couch “Ivar would love her" 
Back in your bedroom, you listened to Alfred ranting about the latest essay he had to hand in and how hard it was for him to find new sources as you ate the sandwich, but you had only one thing in your mind. 
The Lothbrok's were shady, and as you seemed to be the only one that saw it, you had to be the one opening everyone's eyes.

Okay this is my last one and you don’t have to do any of them btw. Kidding prompt: “ kiss me, i’m miserable. “ + grumpy!Poe
Grumpy Poe is something so personal.
Pairing: Poe Dameron x reader
******************************
Poe’s curses could be heard even from the far corner where the door to the tarmac is. His boots are sticking from the belly of his X-Wing and BB-8 serves as both a lantern and a welder, sending sparks all around them but, apparently, not achieving that much.
“I heard your ship was damaged.” You call as you approach them, interrupting the next string of kriff’s and shit’s.
Poe grunts when sparks fly from under the ship again, following an apologetic beep from the droid. “Yes it was, and looks like no one is able to fix one damn thing about it.” You wince at his tone. Even if not directed to you, you can hear how angry he is at everything right now: at his ship, at the mechanics, at his lack of knowledge about how to fix whatever it is that has Black One in such a bad shape.
“How long have you been down there?” BB is the one who answers after Poe conveniently claims he didn’t hear your question. “You need to sleep, Poe. It’s late already.”
“I need to finish this, sweetheart, or else another one of those mechanics is going to try and break everything again.” His stubbornness makes you roll your eyes and kick softly at his feet with a whine of his name. “It’s like they don’t want to do his job, I swear! They didn’t want to help, they couldn’t even look at it properly, and now I’m left doing everything on my own while they are sleeping-”
“Poe, not even you can fix it now. It’s late, you’re tired, you need to sleep too.” You tried reasoning, but his ranting went on and on about how no one was able to fix his ship. It had happened before when “no one was listening to his plan” a couple of weeks ago, and about three weeks before that, when the droid mechanics were “tweaking BB-8s memory”. None of that was true, the only thing that was true, was how exhausted Poe’s head was. 
It’s not that he was being mean, or wanted to blame things on people, he was just tired. Of war, of fighting, of everything that came with it, Poe could only handle so much and he was about to reach his breaking point, seeing every little bad thing as a fight he needed to win. 
You pulled the board he was laying on towards yourself, forcing him to stop both his ramblings and his work, looking at you with a surprised stare, his face tinted with oil and grease from how long he was there. You cleaned with your sleeve as much of his face as you could, but a shower was more than necessary for both his dirty body and his tired muscles, the soothing motion of your fingers made him get lost on you as your eyes found each other for reassurance, soft smiles and delicate fingers helping Poe finally, for once, relax.
You didn’t have to say anything, since as soon as he looked at you he knew what was going on.  Poe let out a deep, long breath that seemed to carry every worry he had. “Can you kiss me? I’m miserable.” Poe admitting his defeat was rare, but your sympathetic smile and your quiet laugh brought him back to his regular, more relaxed Poe. You kissed him, he had earned it after all, and you can never deny him from it. His shoulders dropped as if you had lifted all the weight from them just by pulling him out of underneath the ship and kissing him, with a soft kiss that made every worrying and self-destroying thought disappear from his head. Poe molded into your arms as you sat there by the foot of his ship, holding your waist tightly as to never let go of your lips.
Your hand stayed there, on the base of his neck as he realized it all. “You are tired, Poe, please come get some rest.” He nodded with sadness in his eyes, almost regretting going off about all his problems with you.
“Will you join me?”
“Always,” you comfort him with a kiss one last time.

I think the warrior cats and warriors in your submission list are the same thing,btw do you have reccomendations of like. anything that writes woman well
Ah, you might be right; I think I skimmed that entry's propaganda, and it was very specific to whatever series it was about without dropping the full series name, and I was like "Maybe this is Warrior Cats? I feel lazy, I'm not going to look heavily into it."
So, as a reminder: use the full but common name for the series! For example, Miraculous Ladybug (this seems to be the most common title despite being a shortened version), Warrior Cats, BBC Sherlock, etc. And check that you don't have a space after the title's entry, as that counts as a different entry than the title without the space when using the UNIQUE function in Google sheets (which is how I count the unique entries).
As for recommendations, this is hard because I watch a lot of trash, especially recently, but:
- You can never go wrong with Revolutionary Girl Utena. Note: this show (and start with the show, not the movie) has a lot of potentially triggering stuff, so check out those warnings before you start if you have any triggers at all. It uses the triggering stuff very well and to tell its story and explore its themes, not just for, like, titillation though. Indeed, it is, I would argue, necessary for the story and themes the show seeks to explore. It is legally free on Youtube in...I want to say 480p, and in better resolution on Crunchyroll and Funimation (yes, Funimation's site is still up; I find it superior to Crunchyroll's since it actually includes closed captions for dubs, although it doesn't include newer anime from after the two companies merged). Also, you want to watch the sub for this. I'm normally not one to say "the dub is bad" and stuff and be a purist about it—in fact I normally go to bat for dubs—but, uh... yeah, the dub is bad this time. Crispin Freeman and Dan Green are delightful in it though, I'll give it that.
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood uses its female characters well. Maybe it could be better, I've seen some people in these tournaments have beef with it, but it's a pretty perfectly told story, like solid A+, with a lot of really great female characters who I find very satisfying so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. This is on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and I believe Amazon Prime?
- Don't let the title fool you: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a fantastic show with great female characters who are complex and human, have compelling arcs, and are vital to the story. The relationship between Rebecca and Paula is central to the show and SO good, especially as the show goes on. The title is because it explores the trope of the crazy ex-girlfriend in a very humanizing way, and the title/opening song even mentions how the title is a sexist term, but it's a lot more nuanced than that. Also, it's a musical with very good original songs every episode. But check trigger warnings for this show too though. The show is streaming on Netflix last I checked.
- Uhh... maybe the first two seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic? It's a kid's show, but it's good. I haven't seen it in years and years though, so I don't know if I can still fully vouch for it. I believe it is streaming on Netflix?
- Revue Starlight? I haven't thought about it heavily, but I had no beef watching it. This is streaming on HiDive.
- I've heard good things about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, but I can't vouch for it personally. It's streaming on Crunchyroll.
UPDATE: Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is also legally on youtube!
Honestly, I know more imperfect shows that I'm satisfied with, like I give it a B+ to A- at least, but that I haven't thought heavily about than stuff where I'm like, "Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely, nothing I'd pick out there as a problem." For example, Baccano! is probably imperfect (as well as not streaming legally anywhere), but I don't remember being, like, struck by a bunch of problems there. So, I'm not the best for recs that I can give a 100% guarantee for.

About your anti-Martin-in-Season-5 post: I understand your position and I get how he seems like a different person to you, but keep in mind that they are both in a supremely difficult situation (and I know that other TMA situations have been stressful but this is the end of the world we’re talking about) and Martin has to deal with the fact that Jon is the one that caused it. And I’m not saying that’s healthy or good for their relationship, but we haven’t really seen Martin in that kind of situation before season 5. It makes sense that he’s a bit shitty about it (and less kind than in season 1, when relatively little had gone tits-up for him yet). PLUS he’s been forcibly attached to Jon at the hip for months now, which is a strain to put on any new relationship, especially when there’s all the preexisting issues to contend with, Martin hasn’t exactly been able to be alone with his thoughts about Jon starting the whole apocalypse. So yeah, he’s a bit spiteful and mean to Jon
Also re: the Upton house and Salesa, here Martin is INCREDIBLY relieved at being able to find somewhere he can feel human (eating, sleeping) again (at this point he still thinks of himself as human, I don’t think he knows about his Domain and if he does, it’s certainly not in any detail). So that’s almost definitely colouring his perception of Salesa and Annabelle, especially since he’s meeting Salesa for the first time and he’s being very charming (and saying the first uncomplicatedly nice thing Martin has heard in a very long time, and Annabelle’s not there to counteract that). I don’t have a good explanation for why Martin laughs at Jon when he’s so vulnerable, but I will say that he’s probably not unhappy to be away from Jon’s statements (he REALLY REALLY doesn’t like them and has probably heard more than his fair share), so that’s definitely a factor. And he’s relieved! Upton house was a (brief, but he didn’t really think about that yet) respite from the literal apocalypse happening outside
So personally I actually don't agree with a lot of this. Yes Martin is in a difficult position ins season 5 - they all are - but it's not Jon who caused the situation. It's Jonah. Jon was an unwitting victim. Martin blaming Jon is frankly horrible. But what bothers me much more is that the narrative presents Martin as being in the right, to the point that many fans started echoing that sentiment, even though it makes no sense and we are explicitly shown in canon that Jon is as much a victim as anyone else.
It's a horror story so Jon's relationship with Martin being destroyed or turning sour and downright abusive as it does isn't necessary a problem. Bad stuff happens in horror all the time. What I don't like is that the abuse is framed as ok.
And I also do feel it's ooc. Martin has been in plenty of stressful situations before. But he never once engaged in the type of behavior he engaged in in S5 or even tolerated other people treating Jon that way. Even in the first arc of S5 Martin doesn't treat Jon that way or victim blame him. It's starting in the second arc, when the writing takes a dive, that Martin's character and behavior also changes.
Upton House being a "respite" from the apocalypse doesn't really make sense. There's no in character reason for them to trust anything that's going on there or for them to feel relaxed. And Jon suffers horribly there but Martin doesn't care. Which again is ooc.
Also btw I hated the way Martin treated Jon's loss of autonomy due to having been made an Avatar against his will, and his dependence on statements which again Jon feels great distress over as an annoyance that he can mock Jon over. That's a horrible way to treat your partner. And again feels very ooc. and what's even more jarring tho is how this horrible treatment is presented as tho it's cute and fluffy and reasonable when it's not.
But yeah these are just some quick disorganized thoughts. I went into much more detail about why I think Martin is wildly ooc in arcs 2 and 3 of S5 here

Sometimes i feel like youre being mean to H/A shippers. The NANNI parent thing is not even a thing for shipping its more like a joke?
I think youre holding grudges for all kinds of H/A media and it's not even necessary.
I understand why the ship would bother you but i geuss, just don't interact with it?
Im not a shipper btw, just thinking that saying stuff like that may upset some people? They're two children's book characters. Its not that serious.
Also their relationship was romantic in canon you can't blame people for ending up shipping them, especially because some shippers may be minors..
This wasn't meant to upset you nor be rude to you, just a thought i had.
My friend.
I was asking, lightly amused, because this anon, presumably the same person, has asked multiple Fowldom artists about it. In some cases multiple times- if it was a one-off incident it would be one thing, but this is like… a repeated ask, lol, worded similarly every time, with an emphasis on Artemis and Holly being parents (especially Holly being a mother). Like… I’m not kidding when I say that by that logic, Fowl Sr. and Myles would be NANNI’s parents too, they had a hand in developing it.
I’m not ‘holding grudges’, it’s an arguably reasonable assumption that this has something to do with A/H, since the emphasis is on them as ‘parents’. I won’t lie, I do think it’s weird. I think it’s especially weird if I’m right. But that wasn’t the point of my post, I was asking lightheartedly. I’m sorry that didn’t come across, I made that post very early this morning. As a rule I don’t interact with it! But on the same note, if anyone takes issue with my post, they are free to block me as well!
On the last note- yes, they are two children’s book characters! But if anything, that makes me more uncomfortable with an adult and a child being portrayed romantically. Even in canon.
But yeah, my intention wasn’t to be mean, I’m not ascribing any moral weight to this particular anon, I just think it’s odd. I haven’t gotten any questions about it. I don’t like A/H and I’m very clear about that, I block for it on my end so I don’t have to come across it. But this anon spree thing just seems kinda odd, especially with Holly and Artemis being portrayed every single time as ‘parents’ to an AI (that other people worked on- that also leads me to believe it’s A/H related, but again, that wasn’t the point of my post lol).

Part 4
It's so hilarious that in every scene Bellamy had in Season 4; literally everyone (except for Octavia) was constantly excusing his actions, even when he said he was wrong. It made everyone else around him seem dumb and him like a martyr. Whenever Bellamy made a mistake, it was forgiven quickly (Clarke), and he was never the one who dealt with the consequences (Guess who did? Clarke; btw, I'm referring to the massacre and how Clarke lowkey prevented a war and how Bellamy chose to sacrifice the hydro-generator, and Clarke ended up having to make the list while Bellamy... slept? And then Clarke was demonized for making said list. Makes it even funnier when Monty accuses her of using "for my people" as an excuse when he should be saying that to somebody else *cough* ...Bellamy). Back to Clarke and the bunker. By having Clarke take the bunker instead of Jaha, they were setting up Bellamy's final act of redemption. Clarke betrayed the people she was trying to help, and Bellamy risked his life to save said people(yes, I know he did it for Octavia, but it doesn't change how, by opening the bunker, he ended up saving the grounders too. It felt weird rooting for Bellamy). That's such a wild situation to me. Like when did Bellamy and Clarke switch personalities? (wait, that's season 5) It's doubly ironic when you think about how if Clarke was actually written in character and Octavia wasn't fighting in the conclave, Bellamy would have been the one taking the bunker. They needed to diminish Clarke and her development to prop up Bellamy. That's what I don't like about Bellamy; none of his growth feels organic. It's always facilitated by everyone around him forgiving him. This has always been a thing with him. He relies on the unearned forgiveness of others for his character to grow, mostly Clarke's forgiveness. They just made it more obvious as the seasons went on. All this was built up to the insane character swap in season 5. For some reason, spending 6 years alone was enough for Clarke to contradict the very foundations of her character. There is no way in hell that Clarke Griffin, who stabbed Finn in the gut because it was necessary for the alliance and who was going to let her mother hang, would act how she did in season 5. That was insane. It's inconsistent and was not all believable based on who Clarke was. There were so many ways where they could have shown that Clarke's priority was Madi without changing the very core of who she was. The writers crossed a line with Clarke's character that I don't think they were able to go back from. What's even more unfair is that while Bellamy was given the chance to heal during the time skip and move past his guilt, Clarke was never given the same luxury. She never healed from any of the trauma she went through; she was never able to move past Mount Weather. It makes no sense. Another thing, while Bellamy's betrayal was excused by those around him (s3), Clarke's wasn't. Now I was on board with how Spacekru was angry at her because she did fuck up in season 5. What I didn't like was how they judged, not her *actions* but her *character* so they just disregarded all the good she'd done all those other seasons. Bellamy's downfall wasn't treated the same way; his actions were looked down upon, but his goodness as a person was only ever reaffirmed by Jasper, Clarke, Jaha, and Kane. And what Bellamy did was WORSE. There's a very clear double standard in how the narrative treats Clarke vs. Bellamy. So, while Clarke has to earn her forgiveness, Bellamy has it handed to him freely. No matter what Clarke does, it's never enough. Her character was written to suffer. To give everything for her people and not even be offered anything back. In season 5, the show itself disregarded everything Clarke had ever sacrificed. Also, Clarke has always been the one apologizing to Bellamy since season 3. When did Bellamy ever apologize for not trusting Clarke and betraying her? No, she always apologizes for everything.

genuinely considering adding "don't follow if you're one of those people who use the term narcissist or NPD extremely loosely to basically mean anyone i see as mean, selfish or abusive in a way i can medicalize as a psychological disorder i can then think of as inherent to their very biology so i don't have to humanize them" to my about.
and no you're not exempt for this for being an abuse victim. in fact, that's a very bad way to comfort yourself. there's such an uncomfortable cocktail of ableism, othering and dehumanization in basically treating NPD as "the evil disorder" as a way to comfort / reassure yourself that whoever hurt you could never change anyway.
it's also shitty for the very simple reason that most people with NPD or other empathy-related issues are not abusers. its just that if someone does give in to their worst impulses, they're more likely to be diagnosed with NPD because they're unlikely to seek treatment on their own. for fucks sake guys. stop treating it the same way you treat scorpio in your astrology memes.

hi my pretty moot!! i saw that your event is still open so the character i want is semi eita and the verse of the song is:
“she's your best friend/but I can't help my attention's on you, babe/my intentions are offensive but/she'll get over it”
it’s called BFF by jesse rutherford
BTW ILYSM❤️❤️❤️
ugh i love this song so much😩😩 thank you for requesting bb, ilym!!!!<3333
tw: mentions of intoxication, cheating
Tumblr media
His hands slowly climb up your sides. Your skin burns under his touch, maybe because of the way he has you pinned against the wall, hot breath hitting your neck, or because he is your best friend's boyfriend.
Semi is glad the rest of the people in the room are too intoxicated to notice anything three palms away from their faces. He’s also glad his so-called girlfriend isn’t around with her phone flash shoved in his face for once, he’s sure her thousands of followers are already tired of seeing her bragging about his pretty face on her Instagram stories since that seems to be the only thing she does with him.
He thinks the tight dress you're wearing is sinful, to say the least, the moment you walked through the door he couldn't take his eyes off of you, and now he can't take his hands either.
Long calloused fingers grip your waist, bringing your body flush against his. You bring your hands to his forearms to push him away, but your body sabotages you. You end up wandering them along his arms, veiny, modest, but strong, until finding his shoulders.
"Semi... we can't." You whisper-say. "You're her boyfriend."
Feeling guilty, you look to the other side of the room, where she is innocently dancing with the rest of your friend group, unbeknownst that her lover has his hand on your ass.
Eita cups your jaw, tilting your face upwards to him and you hold yourself back not to lean into his touch.
"So?" He tilts his head to the side.
"We'll hurt her."
Semi leans down and you shut your eyes closed. You can feel his breath softly hitting your mouth and you know all you have to you is move one millimeter to touch your lips with his.
You grip the fabric of his shirt. Yes, he was infatuated with you, silently feeding over the prohibited affair between you two, but you weren't any better. You reciprocated his heated gaze with the same intensity. You prolonged your casual touches on his skin for more than necessary. You shared secret rubs of feet and legs under the table, and you still dare to play innocent.
"She'll get over it." He smirks, then crashes his lips on yours.

It’s been brought up to me that a lot of my content is Isekai based. However I didn’t want this to be a Ieskai HC post. Instead let me tell you all about a stupid thing I came up with as a kid that I’ve been meaning to make into a fic for so long.:
What if the characters you play actually can feel your presence and/or can hear your commentary when playing?
Fair warning I never play Hyrule Warriors and Twilight Princess so let me know if I got things wrong.
Head canons under cut!
General head canons (These are all platonic headcanons btw.):
- Let’s say that the simple reason that you are here was to help the chain. Think of it like you’re the groups companion on this journey. Who better then someone that knows about each hyrule?
- The people who dealt with a lot of magic recognize you at first. The others need a bit of a push to connect the dots but everyone gets there.
- The connection wasn’t as strong at times during their original adventures, so its not like they could always hear you or sense you.
Time:
- You saw him and it was clear he has another sibling now.
- Time knew you where telling the true, that you followed both of his adventures however he wasn’t going to be fully open to you.
- Guess who isn’t scared of Time? You.
- Literally at one point you’ve pointed at Time and with a straight face says “thats a child”.
- This is also how the chain found out that Time actually fought the moon technically.
- “You fought Majora on the moon while it was falling. That’s not the same thing.”
- You meet Malon and it was an awkward first meeting since how do you explain this in the first place.
- Yet the two of you got along amazingly.
- When you and time are alone you instantly ask Time if he knew how she got the cow in his house. He kinda just… stares at you? Like you just met his wife and thats what your asking about?!
- The answer was that he wasn’t sure how she did that but the cow isn’t in his old house anymore. Since different timelines and all.
- It’s honestly weird for him to have someone remember both of his adventures in confidence.
- All be a little awkward hearing someone go, “oh yeah! Time had to do something similar.”
- Early on Time did go over boundaries since he really doesn’t like to talk about his adventures to much.
- So instead you both agree to be as cryptic as possible or at least there is an attempt on your part. Since your the only other person that can confirm or deny his claims.
- And no. You also don’t know his true age. But your guess is the closest.
Twilight:
- Since he is one of the Link’s that is drenched in magic, he recognizes your aura instantly.
- Chaotic sibling energy.
- If he is giving Wild or any of the other Link’s a hard time you are by his side calling Twilight out. Unless if the person in question did something truly idiotic then you let him go off.
- Speaking of, you call this man out as much as you possibly can. Like hell if you’re going to let the others think he isn’t a gremlin.
- He did try to stop you by covering your mouth but you licked his hand. So…. guess what he isn’t trying again unless it’s necessary.
- Somethings are kept a secret though. Since he did live through it and even if it was stupid he still could of gotten really hurt.
- You both play good cop, bad cop to the younger Links all the time.
- Twi is surprisingly very open with you about his adventure, to finally talk to someone about it with out having it sound crazy is nice.
- He also has some questions about you and your life. Since before this adventure started you just disappeared.
- The two of you honestly get along like two best friends who haven’t seen each other in years but still can banter like its the good old days.
- Knowing only small amounts about what they all been through it’s nice to know that you’re looking after the others as well.
- That feeling makes him really push himself to protect the family he has here and luckily you are here can smack him upside the head before lecturing him.
Warriors:
- heeeeey… you know what happen the last time he met someone that was suppose to be watching over the hero’s spirit?
- Yeah, so….War’s isn’t so keen on trusting you like some of these Heroes.
- You seem nice and not obsessively crazy. If anything what makes him decide to give you a chance. It’s seeing you get along with the other Heroes post battle or around the campfire when you think no one is watching.
- The moment that he recognizes you. You were cursing out some monsters and calling Dink every name under the sun. Which he actually remembers hearing your panicked voice briefly when fighting Cia.
- Anyway, you guys are a sass duo and even a trio when you get Leg involved.
- You steal his scarf sometimes with Time and Wind’s help
- He finds you and Wind wrapped inside of it leaning on time and his heart just- clenches, he has more siblings now!
- Then Warriors realizes he has another sibling… another sibling that will prank him…
- You two can be found discussing tactical strategies. Mostly him teaching you though since depending on the person not many people will know how to lead an army. Yet he is a good teacher and you catch on pretty quickly.
- Same with Twi, Warrior’s needs someone to pull him back sometimes it seems. Who better then to remind him then the person that already saw his lowest moment when his ego got the better of him?
- Seriously speaking. He wouldn’t come to you to talk. If anything he will try to avoid you if he wasn’t his best. In his head he has a reputation to uphold. Which will lead to a heart to heart. No sass. No banter. Just you and him sitting down to remind him that he is human.
- He needs a hug. Please give him a hug.
Sky:
- Sky actually didn’t recognize you at first!
- Yes he felt your presence and hear your voice in his adventure, but that was a while ago at this point. Also he isn’t as connected to magic as the others are.
- He does slowly befriend you despite everything.
- It wasn’t until you referred to a certain demon lord as a ‘B*tch A** Clown’ and a flood gate of memories open up for him. Memories of you cursing out Ghirahim, calling the imprisoned an ‘avocado with feet’ and so on.
- Nothing really changes between you two honestly, he just accepts it.
- If anything he becomes more open to you about everything, setting clear boundaries on what he doesn’t want to bring up. He will tell everyone about the curse eventually, but just hasn’t found a good opportunity too. Things like that.
- You do have to argue with Sky that the curse wasn’t his fault since you were also there when it was put on him, also the fact that he didn’t asked to be cursed in the first place.
- Most of the time you two are together its to get away from the chaos that the group of nine heroes could bring.
- Walking or sitting in silence is how you two end up most of the time together. It may not look like you two are bonding. There are some days while Sky is wood carving you would work on your small hobby as well. Then there are days he plays the harp and your reading.
- Despite it all he really enjoys the peace you bring. There is a sense of comfort that you have.
- When you and Sun finally meet. The first thing you ask him is to be invited to the wedding and it may or may not been in front of her too…
Wild:
- The recognition was really slow for him like Sky. Since Wild just got off of his first adventure he didn’t actually notice you were gone.
- It was until he realized that he couldn’t hear your panicked voice or snarky remarks when fighting in his head. That he finally realized you where outside of his head. He was quick to connects the dots after that.
- There was a moment where he didn’t know how to react since he just figured that you were just from his imagination.
- He now has another adventuring buddy with Hyurle! Though luckily you do keep the both of them from harm. Mostly because if something happens to them you will get in trouble with like Twi and Leg and thats never fun.
- Though you have your moments. Shield surfing and paragliding are on top of that list and Wild is all up for teaching you the ropes.
- The topic of the history of hyrule gets brought up a lot with the two of you. Since his era has a lot of connections to the past era’s. He is all up for learning about what came from where. Soon theories start to fly about.
- When You, Him and Flora are finally all together. There is nothing stopping you all from bouncing off theories. With your outside knowledge mixing with what they know. Things start to fall into place.
- The answer to why the timeline is like this doesn’t get answer. But hey! At least you all are having fun!
- If you can’t cook he will teach you that too! If you can! Well buckle up your going to share your knowledge with him whether you want to or not.
- Once you know how or get used to cooking while camping, you help him out a lot and its these moments where you both talk the most.
- It’s comforting to him to know he wasn’t alone this whole time.
Legend:
- As soon as you two locked eyes he felt instant dread. Yes he knew. No he isn’t going to opening up to you.
- Playful Insults to bond? Yeah that’s literally how he talks to everyone so no special treatment.
- He keeps you at a distance but its not actually working.
- You talk about his adventures so casually like it happened a few days ago. You avoid Link’s Awakening though. If you got hurt with the plot twist then you could only imagine the pain Leg went through.
- “I’m still trying to process the fact you married a tree.” “Hey remember that one time with Yuga, you slammed face first into a wall so hard you knocked yourself out?” “God do you not wear pants because of the fish thing?”
- This relationship is literally: Only I can bully this one.
- He fears the moment you meet Ravio and Fable knowing full well you all will bond over teasing him.
- Overall though he knows you got his back no matter what, to the point he finds himself confining in you slowly.
- Guess who is also teaming up with Hyrule to get Legend to sleep. It you.
- Once you probably have forced him to sleep by getting wolfie to lay on him. It was the wolf or yourself. In the end it was both of you and he was trapped.
- A sign that he was becoming soft towards you was when he started sharing his items with you. He trusts that you know how to use them and if you don’t he is actually willing to show you.
- He regrets giving the bee badge to you.
Hyrule:
- Another person that is drenched in magic. It only took one look at you for him to realize who you were.
- The two of you were awkward as anything at first. Since to you he never really spoken in his adventure so you didn’t know how to picture his personality.
- There’s a lot of mystery in your mind about him since again there isn’t much to go off of with what your given in game. It’s weird for him to hear about how you interpret his personality from that perspective.
- Hyrule didn’t honestly expect you to try and befriend him tbh. It mostly him over thinking it.
- You do follow him sometimes when he wants to wander around and explore. Mostly because you claim he finds the coolest things when he does.
- But its just a excuse to actually get to know him.
- The two of you trade stories and questions about each of your lives. There might be things you know that he might not know of about his adventure and his hyrule.
- Of course never going into to much details since there are things you couldn’t tell him.
- Hyrule honestly was dreading the day you all would land in his Era. He loves his home but is also very aware of it not being the most…welcoming place.
- So it’s more then surprising to him that there is even more then the glint of familiarity and excitement on your face. Knowing full well what dangers where a head of you, you still were open to exploring his world to the fullest.
- It’s honestly refreshing to see someone love his era as much as he does.
- Another boy that needs hugs, please give him a hug.
- You both cheer each other on though.
- This relationship is just aggressive support between you two and the others.
Four: (I’m actively mixing the Four Sword game and manga just to be clear.)
- Not sure if he would know exactly who you where since during the second adventure your voice and presence bounce between the four of them.
- Yet I also feel like he took after you because he was a child in his first adventure, which worries you a lot. Since you did have choice words for Vaati.
- The first to realize was Vio then it went Blue, Red and Green. Despite being in the same head it was just a theory they had over all. They all had their own ways of confirming it.
- Vio noticed the small things you do around Four. Like not stepping on their shadow, and covering Four when things got chaotic in their head. Small references here and there. When the two of you are alone he almost quizzes you about things. Just to see how much you know and to see if your telling the true or not.
- Blue recognize your mannerisms being something he picked up on during the first and second adventure. Only vaguely since again he was a child / there was only a small part only with him. Your fighting banter when your in battle made you see where Blue got his colorful language from…
- Your comfort was what clued Red in. He remembers your presence more clearly then the others from the first and second adventure. It was a comforting (yet chaotic) presence in their adventures that he latched on to. More so from his first adventure since as a kid he made an imaginary friend to process the fact he could sense and hear your presence. When you came back in the second time around it felt so natural for Red to have you there and really helped make him go forward through his small journey.
- For Green? It was a lot of things but when he see’s you treating each color differently when they are in charged. It’s a refreshing sight to be honest. He just enjoys hearing and seeing that his brothers had someone to confide in. Even when they switch who is in control you some how could tell and spoke to them accordingly.
- They were all some what surprise that none of the others picked up on your treatment of him swapping so much. Yet their also glad because their not ready to reveal themselves quiet yet.
- As Four or as you nicknamed him ‘Rainbow’ the two of you tend to sick together when the world’s shift around. Since his body needs more time to recover.
- You two are another pair that cheers each other on when the moral is low.
- He introduces you to the Minish! Getting you a jabber nut so you can speak to them too. You can’t shrink down to properly talk to them so this was the next best thing.
- The four of them makes you a dagger to bring home to remember him by, there’s a kin stone imbedded where the blade meets the hilt.
Wind: (hello self projection my dear friend)
- Wind didn’t recognize you ether at first, yet he didn’t even blink when you join everyone. He was fully on board with getting a new member and is easiest the most opened.
- It was when you two are alone together that something clicked in his head. You see during the Wind Waker he was alone most of the time when he was on land. So he had to face a lot by himself.
- Having you was reassuring to him when facing some of the monsters alone, especially with the puppet ganon fight. The two of you both agree that it was creepy.
- CHAOTIC SIBLINGS PART 2… well kinda
- Wind is a lot more mature then you realized but you two still have those moments.
- You, Aryll and Grandma get along too! So he and his family basically sees you and the chain as family.
- Pranking buddies! You’re targets would never know. Mostly because your covering up for him. You two team up with Four and Wild so the pranks can get chaotic at times.
- No matter what age you are compare to him and if your ok with it he does like platonic physical affection. Your going to be trading off with Warriors a lot of the time for cuddles or it’s the three of you together.
- You teaching him our worlds sea shanties and him teaching you his? Heck yeah! Even making up songs with the others is something on the table and in the works which is nice.
- It’s another thing to bring back home thats personalized!
Honestly since I’ve written all of this down I want to write the fic more. Though I’ll probably not only because idk if people would even read it lol. So it will just be a bunch of head canons. Anyway rambling is done.

I‘m not really far in the game but I know that every boy except Shaw, met MC/Us when they were younger. Do you think, they would‘ve love MC even if she wasn‘t this girl from their childhood and didn‘t have the Queen power? And btw what is even the queen power exactly. Like I said I‘m not far in the main story and I saw MC in a black dress etc
Hi there! I will do my best to explain my thoughts without mentioning any major spoilers for you since it’s always nice reading the plot for yourself! (I will be sure to give spoiler warnings before talking about it)
To start off, we should talk about the Queen’s power. It’s a bit confusing to us even to this day but what we can gather from what we have so far, game and anime wise, she has the ability to make other evolvers stronger. She’s somewhat of a battery or power source for all evolvers if that makes sense? Evolvers are still able to use their evols without her but she can “lend” people strength.
As for whether or not the boys would still lover her regardless of her evol, it’s hard to say for a few simply because her evol was the reason she met 2 out of the 4 of them. So if she didn’t have an evol, it’s likely she wouldn’t have met Kiro or Victor in the first place. But, hypothetically, let’s say that they did meet the same way and she did not have the Queen’s gene, then yes, I believe both Kiro and Victor would’ve still fallen in love with her.
Slight spoilers for Kiro’s past (how they met): Kiro and MC were both tested on as kids. Kiro is younger than MC and was frightened and confused at the time. He didn’t know much because he was so young when tested on by Black Swan. In fact, he 100% didn’t know MC had the Queen gene. He was simply way too young to understand or know that. He found a girl close to his age and wanted to get closer to her because she brought him comfort. It was the day he met her that he promised he would always protect her and he has continued to fulfill that promise. She was in a worse condition than he was when they were being tested on but still smiled and comforted him. With that being said, yes, it’s likely he would’ve still fallen in love with her because she brought him so much comfort and happiness during hard times regardless of her being the Queen.
Slight spoilers for Victor’s past (how they met): Similar to Kiro’s, both Victor and MC were together when Black Swan had taken them as “test subjects”. Victor met MC at a park where she was balling her eyes out as per usual. Good job MC and comforted her with pudding. Tbh, baby Victor reminds me of Killua from Hunter x Hunter. Anywho, it seems like Victor knew MC was an evolver just like him and he felt the need to watch over her because of what they both were. While he probably knew she was an evolver, it’s likely he didn’t know she was the “Queen” since he was so young. Well, Black Swan caught up with them and took them both into custody and that’s when the escape we see in game happens as well as how they were separated. It confirms in the anime that Victor’s number one goal all his life was to find that girl again. Everything he had done up to this point was for MC. I’m not really sure if he originally decided to keep searching for her because he felt responsible or if there was more to how he felt for her. Considering she did risk her life for his own, it could go either way. But it is clear that he does care for her whether or not she’s the “Queen”. He did know she had an evol but that’s all he knew.
Kiro and Victor seemed more like a traumatic experience bringing them closer which is a common way of bringing people together. If they had not met that way because MC didn’t have the Queen gene, then I’m not sure what would’ve happened.
On to Gavin, my sweet sweet Gavin. Answer is yes. 100%. Man is head over heels for this girl. He looked at her once, pointed, and said “that’s my wife”. Literally. With Gavin’s high school reputation as the frightening “overlord”, everyone was constantly scared of him. Nobody would talk to him or want to be around him because of the terrible rumors going around. How he’s always picking fights, stealing money, this and that. Long story short, none of that is true. He’s actually a vigilante of some sort but he doesn’t care to explain himself because nobody would believe him anyway. So he lived his life being feared. At least up until he met MC for the first time.
Slight spoilers for Gavin’s past (how they met): It was a rainy day and Gavin was walking around in the rain in an alley when he suddenly saw a girl squatting down, shielding a box from the rain with her own body. Gavin looked a bit closer and realized there was a kitten in the box. The girl was quietly talking to the kitten when she felt someone’s eyes on her. She turned to Gavin and then gave him a small smile. The only smile someone has given Gavin in years. The only light and comfort he had felt in so long. Not to mention his family situation. There’s a whole lot going on there if you haven’t read about it yet Because this feeling was new to Gavin, he got flustered and looked away, kicking a can on the ground in hope of a distraction. The girl continued to care for the kitten in the box only to feel a jacket being draped across her shoulders. Unable to thank him in time, MC watched as Gavin jogged across the street in only his shirt as the rain came down harder. I. Love. This. MAN. Ever since that day, Gavin found himself looking for her at school. He watched her silently and helped her whenever she needed it he helped grab a book from the top shelf when she couldn’t reach it. Coincidence he is always there when she needs it? I think NOT. He was smitten for her. Without knowing anything about her other than her kindness, he was a little puppy dog following her around to preserve the light in her. He is, what we all know and love, a SIMP. I STAN ONE MAN AND IT IS THIS SIMP THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER. Anywho, time goes by, he’s her guardian angel throughout high school and then finds out about her identity in the evolver world from his father who is in a law enforcement group that deals specifically with evolvers. I mean, gestures to Gavin. The man wanted a child with a strong evol. After Gavin found out about who she was, he knew he would need more to protect her and that’s why he became a cop. Yes, this man became a cop just so he could protect the girl he loved. SO TO SUM IT UP, YES. He already fell in love with her without knowing she was an evolver so 100% yes.
Slight spoilers for Lucien as well: As for Lucien, I feel as if his position is a bit more complex. He knew MC when she was younger as well but it seemed like they had more of a friendship rather than him caring for her romantically. The reason why Lucien is originally so intrigued by her (grown up) is because he sees her in color. Lucien is color blind so when he was able to see her drenched in bright vivid colors, he was immediately interested in her. Though I don’t know if he was romantically interested in her in the beginning or if he was just curious, he obviously grew feelings for her later when he decided to protect her and somewhat betray Black Swan. In later chapters, he makes it very clear he was in the wrong with how he saw the world and after making “necessary” sacrifices and realized how much he truly cares about MC. So as far as would he love her without her being the “Queen”, I’m really not sure. The reason they are so close in the first place is because she IS the Queen. But being able to see her in color is probably enough for him to want to get closer to her.
And finally we have the himbo punk boy Shaw. I’m not sure how much you know about Shaw but I am warning you now that there are going to be mentions of his past which DO contain some heavy spoilers.
Shaw is the odd man out, yes. He’s introduced later in the story and actually has a very interesting role. You mentioned you saw MC in a dark dress. Spoiler alert: That is who we call “dark MC”. And it seems as if Shaw has ties with her and is possibly(?) working with her. Then again, Shaw is actually a lone wolf himself. He does what he finds to be entertaining and benefits him. He went against his father’s orders (which is very hot because I hate that man. Eat shit military man) and has his own way of gathering information. He is very good at making relationships with people to gather intel and have people he can use if needed all the while keeping his distance. Shaw very likely only has a relationship with MC because of his line of work. It seems as if he’s actually manipulating her in a way to go according to his own plan that involves dark MC. So far, in my opinion, it doesn’t seem like Shaw has any romantic feelings for MC in the main plot. He’s just interested in her because she spices up his life with chaos and he feeds off of stimulation. Though, I am excited to see how their relationship progresses and what he decides to do when he has to choose between the two sides of MC. There are small signs of Shaw caring more about MC in later chapters now but the man is just in denial because hE dOesNt hAvE aNy wEaKneSsEs.
I hope this helps explain a few things as well as my own thoughts on their relationships if MC wasn’t the Queen. Thanks for the ask!

I'm sorry for sending yet ANOTHER request, I just love your writing so much 😭
What about Soulmate AU where you can feel the pain your soulmate feels?
The reader is Zeke's soulmate even though she's from Paradis and with the Scouts, so she definitely feels the pain when Levi decapitates Zeke (he killed Zeke before the rumbling begins).
(I was thinking of this as platonic levi x reader? The Soulmate thing is with Zeke just to be more dramatic 😂)
hiii!! omg thank you so much! also your ideas are really cool, and i’m really happy to see your user on my requests!! <3 i hope you like it <3
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
❁ levi x reader, zeke x female!reader (kind of ??)
❁ death, spoilers from the manga, blood, again swearing against zeke lol, canon violence, non canon events!!!! btw sasha is alive because sasha <3
❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁
You feel small punctures on your hands. Again. It’s been a whole day feeling them, as if you are squeezing needles in your hands. It was harmful and really uncomfortable, but when you looked at your hands, they were smooth, without a cut. 
“That’s because is your soulmate who’s getting hurt there.” Hange told you, once you found them out of their tent. They were holding a book, and Moblit was following them, carrying some more. Hange looks at you, their gaze low, looking directly to your hands. “Anyway, whoever your soulmate is, is probably making you regret all your training period.” You laugh. You were specially headstrong during the training. It didn’t care how many times you fell or how many wounds you got. You kept training and fighting without a break. Maybe your soulmate felt all that pain too.
In the other side of the map, Zeke Jaeger is crushing rocks with his hands. The little fragments of broken rocks make cuts on his hands. He clenches his jaw and throws them, hitting some enemies. He feels Porco’s titan fast steps behind, probably trying to break the machines. Also Pieck’s fighting near him, as usual. He feels all his body tired and the blood in his hands is starting to get dry. But he keeps fighting. Maybe that’s why destiny made him your soulmate.
Sometimes, you can’t even differentiate if you’re feeling bad or if he is the one feeling bad. Your bodies are connected in a way that even biology can’t explain. But, considering that you never met - or so do you think.- it's kind of weird. Having a soulmate wasn’t rare, half of the population has it. You’re meant to find each other and be together. You walk back to your barricade, thinking about it. Maybe he’s one of the Corps soldiers. Someone who might be very resistant to pain. Someone strong and...
“Oi, have you seen Hange?” Levi asks. He’s in front of you, and he has some books in his hands. It seems like he’s helping Hange as well. You look behind you, where Hange was a minute earlier. They're gone.
"They were here a couple of seconds aho, but I guess they moved..." You saw Levi was looking behind him, to a table full of books. You guessed that all those heavy books were the ones Levi and Hange were moving. You take some of them as well. "It's not necessary..." he says, but you're taking four books now. Walking again towards him, you look around, searching Hange and Moblit.
"Didn't they told you were they are moving the books?" Levi sighed before clicking his tongue.
"That four eyes... They didn't say anything about it because I told them to leave the war room free for new reunions, so they moved all theyr shit." he says. The books are heavy and he has been holding them for a time now, so he's kinda edgy. He walks towards a tent in the sand, near the one where the Special OPs squad sleep. Connie was out of the tent, looking at the sea. Behind him, Sasha was taking care of a bouquet of white roses.
Pain hitted you like a train, literally. Zeke's body was so tired that the train hitted his titan's legs, making him and you feel the pain. You fell, crying of the high level of dolor. Levi left the books near you, on the floor, and Sasha and Connie walked fast toward you. You were there, feeling like your legs got crushed. Levi took your boots out easily, and, looking at you for consent, raised your pants to the knee. Your legs where perfect, as always. You couldn't stop crying. Even when Levi, a total hater of affection and physical contact, started to massage them carefully. Sasha took some cold water from the sea on a jar, and put the cold metal jar on your muscles, trying to ease the pain. Connie gave you potable water.
In Marley, Zeke was also feeling a lot of pain. His legs were totally crushed and smashed because of the fucking train. He knows that his human form will repair his muscles once he's out of the titan, so that's why, searching Porco's company, he leaves the titan's body. Porco covers him while his intern muscles get easily cured. In Paradis, your legs start to feel a bit better, and you're able to feel something more than pain on them. Something like the smooth touch of the Captain. Levi keeps massaging them, doing little circles and looking at you.
"Are you feeling better?" he asks. You nod. "What happened?"
Since everybody respects someone who has a soulmate, Levi is not different to the rest. Once he knows that you have a soulmate, you'll have 0 opportunities with him. Even knowing that he probably doesn't feel the same for you, having that little unknow will play at your favor. If he does feel something, you'll just ignore all the pain your soulmate is giving you. After all, you two are people with different lives and nothing more than a stupid bond between you. You have no affection towards him because you don't know who he is, to begin with. And, also. maybe the feelings you have developed for the Captain doesn’t let you think about any other person. 
At least from now.
“Yes, yes. Thanks, Captain.” he shakes his head, as if he was saying that you shouldn’t thank him. 
“Your pain has been increasing lately, doesn’t it?” he asks, in a whisper. It’s normal for him to care about you, after all you’re one of his soldiers. You move your legs. They just feel heavy, but the pain has been gone. “You should rest here a bit. I’ll call Connie . He’ll make you company while the meal isn’t ready.”
Levi lefts the tent quick. You have been here stuck for months now, after you killed all the titans left in the island. You know there’s a bigger enemy than the colossus humans that killed a lot of your comrades and friends. You remember once the pain was so bad, like if someone had cut your arms and legs and then just put a thunderspear on your abdomen. And it exploded. You were conscious of every single organ of your body. You were unable to walk for a week. Your soulmate was really fast healing, so you have the belief that he is a titan. No doubt.
Ha, you’re bonded with a titan shifter. What if that one is the one that Levi promised to kill?
You shake your head when Connie enters.
“Oh, wow, you look better!” he says. You smile at him and he sits near to you. Connie is basically your best friend here, and he was always trying to make you feel better. 
“Yes, I’m feeling way better.” you answer. Connie gives you a glass of water, “Thanks.”
“Your soulmate must be having fun, doesn’t he?” Connie and Hange were the only ones you told that you’ve probably a soulmate, but lately, the magnitude of the pain that man has to resist was a really obvious indicator of your bond. Probably, the Captain also knows it just because of intuition.
“He definitely is. for sure.” You say, after drinking all the glass. Connie puts it on a near table. You let out a sigh. “Y/N, listen, maybe you should tell the Captain. Like, he’s the Captain of our squad. What if your soulmate looses an arm and you fell in the middle of a battle?” But you don’t want to leave the Corps. They are your family, your most treasured ones. 
“But I don’t want to leave...” you whisper. Connie sighs and looks at the front, through the window.
“You don’t have to leave. Just work here, as a healer, or...”
“I want to fight. With you all. I don’t want to make Levi lose another soldier. We’re just seven on his squad. He needs all the people capable to follow his pace.” It was true. Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Sasha and you, with Levi, are the most capable soldiers of the army. That’s why all of you are in the Special Ops squad. 
Later, Jean brought you the dinner. It took you a bit to start to train again, and time passed. Eren announced the rumbling, and Levi told you all the plans for the mission. 
❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁ ❁❁❁❁
"Just execute the plan. We just have to stop the rumbling, even if that means killing Eren." The plan made all your comrades uncomfortable. Specially the ones that suffered with him all this time, those who saw him grow and express his ideals. That’s what you were thinking when, time later, you’re fighting hand to hand with the squad. Titans are everywhere and you only can see blood and hear screams. Jean is near Pieck and there’s a weird sensation growing up in your chest. Like if you knew what was about to happen to your soulmate. Levi was behind you. A big stalactite can be seen, at a figure seems to be on top of it. A blonde boy you met, knowing that he was a shifter. You can see him from Falco's titan's back.
Maybe he is your soulmate?
If someone kills him and your supposition is true, that means you’ll be in problems. 
Levi looks at him, his gaze full of anger. He goes near him, using the ODMS and, taking out his blades, before you could react, he decapitates him.
You felt like your soul was about to leave your body, how your head hurts so much that it seems like it was about to fell off your shoulders. You can’t breath and your lungs seem to stop working. Levi comes back and found you screaming of pain.
“y/n!” he yelled. Taking you with him, he puts you again on Falco’s titan back. You search his eyes, lying down on the soft back of the titan.
“He... was m-my... soulmate.” Levi opened his eyes with horror.
“I’m so sorry, I... I didn’t know that.” he says.
“I didn’t either.” You say, but your voice was breaking because of the pain screams. You hold your head, like if you wanted to avoid it from getting parted away from your body. It hurts so much.
Levi holds your head softly. Your neck feels really bad, but it is starting to heal slowly.
“Sorry.” he whispers. “I didn’t want to hurt you in any way.” It was okay. No one knew that Zeke, the man that he promised to kill, was your soulmate. So it was not his fault. Your face is full of tears, but you show him a little smile.
“It’s okay. After all, we weren't mean to be together.”
“I’m sure you’ll find a better man.” he says, while Falco keeps flying.
I hope so, you think, while his warm hands caress your hair, trying to make all that pain disappear.

Distanced, part 1
Summary: A group chat fic! How shall these useless students cope with daily life.
Note: This is my first attempt at anything even remotely like this! I have no idea how this will turn out so feedback is greatly appreciated! Intrulogical. 
Next part here!!

MESSAGES: To Remus Prince (Presentation)
Tuesday, 16:15
Hello. This is Logan Sanders from Prof. Smith’s seminar. Do you have any suggestions for how we should go about completing the upcoming assessment?
Remus Prince: who dis
I literally just stated it. Logan Sanders.
I wear the tie.
Remus Prince: OHHH
Remus Prince: Well 1stly
Remus Prince: What’s the best planet in the solar system?
Pardon?
Remus Prince: i LitERaLlY JuSt stAtED iT
That has nothing to do with anything, we just need to get through this project.
Remus Prince: if u want to work then u have to answer
Jupiter. 
Remus Prince: cool.
Remus Prince: You’ll do.
Remus Prince: My name is Remus.
I know. We did actually swap phone numbers. We in fact discussed which topic we would be doing for over fifteen minutes in the seminar. So we have indeed met. If you continue to be obnoxious then this will be a easier project. 
.
MESSAGES: To Remus Sanders (Presentation)
Tuesday, 16:22
Why did you ask that question?
 Remus Prince: I asked my brother that question and he answered earth
Remus Prince: I’ve had trust issues ever since
Roman’s favourite planet is Earth? 
 Remus Prince: HAH
Remus Prince: ye he’s an idiot
Remus Prince: I’ve gotta test everyone now.
Remus Prince: You passed btw
Remus Prince: WAIT!
Remus Prince: Do u know Ro?
Yes, he is my friend and roommate. 
Remus Prince: What was ur name again????????
You can literally scroll up and reread it. I refuse. You got into university for a reason and so you can manage my name.
Remus Prince: jk
Okay then. Do you want to discuss how we should go about creating this powerpoint?
Remus Prince: what’s there to ‘discuss’?
We can separately conduct our research however it is regrettably better to meet up in person to practise not only giving the presentation but also the construction of the presentation itself.
Remus Prince: man you just love sending essays huh
I have written out longer messages. I don’t understand the point of sending a sentence at a time and risk getting interrupted. Plus at least my texting doesn’t seem all like an assault of constant notifications. 
Remus Prince: fair
Shall we say that we should aim to get our presentation research finished by two weeks (15th). That leaves us another two weeks to construct the powerpoint, gather more research if necessary, then practise presenting. 
Remus Prince: k
GROUPCHAT: Goths, Emos, and Remus
Tuesday, 16:26
Octopussy: can I vent for a sec
Octopussy: So! I’m just sitting here. Y’know. Vibing. 
Octopussy: Then out of nowhere the nerd from my class starts messaging me about the group project that’s due a month away
Octopussy: like wtf
Octopussy: nice to know the nerd thing isn’t just appearance
Vigilant: help
Octopussy: he made a big deal about meeting up as well to do this!
Octopussy: No one in the class even cares!
Octopussy: No one is even remotely
Octopussy: Not even close
Octopussy: To thinking about that project right now!
Octopussy: We’ve got ages!
Vigilant: oh sweet jesus
Octopussy: Like! We’ve got a month!
Octopussy: AN ENTIRE MONTH
Octopussy: Like he also wants to meet up as well to practise
Octopus: Like ew.
Top-Hat-Gay: Are you done?
Octopussy: ye
Octopussy: he’s a dick
Vigilant: oh thank god
Top-Hat-Gay: Ha, as if you believe in god.
Vigilant: If it stops Re from not spamming us then I’ll believe whatever. 
Octopussy: rude
Vigilant: bitch
Top-Hat-Gay: On an actually important note, which one of you last used my nail bag?
Octopussy: me!
Octopussy: you need more green 
Top-Hat-Gay: No I fucking don’t!
Top-Hat-Gay: There was an entirely new bottle in there!
Octopussy: I said what I said.
Top-Hat-Gay: I hate you. 
Octopussy: Thank bby
Octopussy: ALSO!
Octopussy: I found out the nerd also lives with Ro.
Top-Hat-Gay: So?
Vigilant: hE’S FORBIDDEN
Top-Hat-Gay: Wait so the nerd is Logan?
Octopussy: He is!
Octopussy: not that it seems to be having any effect on Ro. he’s as dense as a brick.
Top-Hat-Gay: I saw him today going into Remy’s. 
Vigilant: Why are we even talking about him
Vigilant: Like who gives a shit.
Octopussy: dunno
Octopussy: just thought it was weird
Top-Hat-Gay: Maybe you should switch partners. Especially if he wants to meet up at some point.
Octopussy: nah
Octopussy: not worth it
Top-Hat-Gay: A teacher wouldn’t care. They only want to see good grades. They won’t mind moving stuff around for you.
Octopussy: He seems harmless. 
Vigilant: you literally called him a dick after one conversation.
Octopussy: he is a dick

GROUPCHAT: THE FAM ILY
Tuesday, 16:38
Pat-on-the-back: Heya guys, are we all in for dinner tonight?
Logan.S: I am.
YourHopesandDreams: I will be in at 7. If you could be so compassionate to push your meal back until then, I would be truly indebted to you.
Pat-on-the-back:  Fine by me!
Logan.S: I am agreeable.
Pat-on-the-back: Also Lo! Are you finished with your work?
Logan.S: I have finished my to-do list so I am available if I’m needed. 
Pat-on-the-back: No, you’re all good! I just wanted to check. It sounded like you were doing work for like four hours straight.
Logan.S: It took three hours thank you very much. 
Logan.S: So what are we doing for dinner?
Pat-on-the-back: I was thinking lasagne! 
Pat-on-the-back: also! Don’t think I’ll notice that change in topic!
Pat-on-the-back: I thought we all agreed on two hour stretches of work with a 15 min break at least. I mean... it’s even written on our calendar! There’s no way you forgot, did you Mister! 
Logan.S: It’s fine Pat.
Logan.S: Just let it go
Logan.S: I needed to get it done
Logan.S: I don’t need to be babied. 
Logan.S: I’m taking a break now. I’m okay.
Pat-on-the-back: I know, I’m sorry. I just want to make sure. As long as you feel okay then everything’s alright! How was your work anyway?
Logan.S: Fairly ordinary actually. I had to go through some of my notes and rewrite a couple of pages then I had to organise a group project due the 2nd of March. 
Pat-on-the-back: Sounds productive!
Logan.S: Thank you.
YourHopesandDreams: Ew. Group project. Who’s your partner?
Logan.S: We are in entirely different courses, why do you think you would know them?
YourHopesandDreams: Everyone knows the drama students know everyone. 
Logan.S: I’m working with Remus.
YourHopesandDreams: You should ask to swap partners. 
Logan.S: I won’t do so unless I have a genuine reason. I’ve not had any interactions with him previously and while he did seem half-hearted and obnoxious in his messages, he seems harmless. If he messes everything around then I will but I won’t make a fuss unless I have reason to.
Pat-on-the-back: That’s fair but please make sure to tell us if he pulls anything.
YourHopesandDreams: Your loss.

MESSAGES: To Nerd
Wednesday, 3:02
hey u awake
Nerd: What on earth are you doing up at 3am? 
Oh
Soz
Wrong number.
MESSAGES: To Nerd
Wednesday, 3:12
Nerd: What is your favourite planet?
wha
Nerd: I figured it would be fair to ask your test to you. For all I know you could be as uncultured as your brother.
can we not talk about him
I dunno really
I wanna say pluto because they deserve it
but I kinda like saturn best.
Nerd: Any reason why?
Just kinda interesting
Big, lots a moons, ring. 
It’s just a cool planet. 
Nerd: Fair enough.
Do you have a reason to like jupiter?
Nerd: If I’m being honest, my science teacher absolutely adored Jupiter. I don’t know why but that memory of him ranting about how cool it was just really stuck with me. I was only about 8 years old. But I found myself agreeing with him. Back then my fascination was a lot more childish. I thought it was fascinating that since Jupiter was a gas planet it hadn’t been blown away yet. I grew up from that view but the interest never left.
ew that was almost cute.
Nerd: I concur that was very unprofessional.
WAIT
WAIT
HOLD ON
Why hasn’t Jupiter blown away!?!?!?!?!??
Nerd: Excuse me?
8YR OLD YOU IS A GENUIS 
Nerd: There’s no atmosphere in space!
But there’s pressure and junk isn’t there? 
Nerd: The pressure is pulling the mass into the centre which keeps the planet whole.
Do you think we could step on Jupiter?
Nerd: I don’t know.
I thought you knew space!
Nerd: I do biology! To get into a biology degree, I did a bunch of biology based subjects! Why would I know anything about space?
I dunno.
I guess if you look like a nerd people just presume.
Nerd: I’ve personally found it’s the confidence. If you act confident enough then everyone presumes you know exactly what you’re doing and you’re in control, no matter how out of place you look. 
I’ll drink to that!
Wait, in what situation would you have learnt this!?!
Nerd: I have a bad habit of accidentally going to the wrong class and just going along with it rather than anything else. Although I should say I did fantastic in that architectural history class. But this habit has caused some awkward situations. I have also impersonated a store manager to explain why me and my friend were there when really he ran into the warehouse searching for a kitten. 
HAH
That’s brilliant
Using your nerdy powers to overthrow society.
Does this mean you’re a liar?
Nerd: I call it ‘managing life’. 
HAH
Sounds about right.
Why are you awake at this time?
Nerd: I could ask you that.

Title: Night Off
Rating: Teen and Up
Fandom: DC Comics
Pairing(s): JayDick
Summary: “If you’re not here to kill me, then get out!” Dick calls without moving. He should probably double check as to who his intruder is, but the idea of moving is somehow more unappealing than the idea of one of his enemies actually managing to break into his apartment. He’ll take the risk of potential kidnapping if it means that they’ll do most of the bodily lifting for him.
Notes: I was having a chronic pain flare, asked my wife who I should inflict it on, and her answer was, “Jotaro and/or Dick Grayson”. So here’s the Dick Grayson version. Btw, I’m doing a writing / fic giveaway! Check out this post to see how to enter. Goes until 8.25.21!
-
It’s extremely rare for Dick to pull out of a planned patrol, but there are nights when he can’t handle the thought, much less actually suit up and venture out into Gotham. Tonight is one of those nights. Old injuries are rearing their ugly head, making themselves too known to be ignored, and he knows that going out will be a mistake. He’s more likely to cause trouble than he is to prevent it, and he’s not about to cut into someone else’s patrol just to have someone come to his rescue. That’s time that could be better spent, and he hates the idea of anyone knowing the degree of pain he’s dealing with. To know that it cripples him to the point where walking is a slow, agonizing process. It feels like a weakness that he’s not prepared to share.
Bruce has chronic pain. That’s something Dick’s known for years. Possibly since he was a child, but the man never seems to be stopped or even slowed down by it. He’s never missed a patrol. Never needed someone to fish him out of a bad situation brought on by his knee completely giving out on him (not that Dick admitted to that being the problem; he’d lied and claimed it had been freshly injured.) It’s frustrating to watch, and it sets a precedent that Dick can’t keep up with. It makes him feel pathetic on nights like these, and it’s all he can do to try to distract himself with crappy television. Up until the moment when something crashes into his apartment through his-- previously locked-- window.
“If you’re not here to kill me, then get out!” Dick calls without moving. He should probably double check as to who his intruder is, but the idea of moving is somehow more unappealing than the idea of one of his enemies actually managing to break into his apartment. He’ll take the risk of potential kidnapping if it means that they’ll do most of the bodily lifting for him.
Sure enough, Jason shows up in the doorway of his living room a moment later with his helmet at his side, but his cowl still fixed in place. “You’re not dressed,” is the first thing that comes out of his mouth, and it makes Dick’s eyebrows climb up toward his hairline.
“Are you my babysitter now?”
“No,” Jason snarls, “I’m not fucking Bruce.”
“Alright then,” Dick shrugs and tries to leave it at that. The keyword being ‘try’, because Jason never could leave well enough alone.
“Why aren’t you out?”
“Changed my mind. Am I not allowed to do that?” Shit. He sounds unnecessarily snappish. More so aloud than he does in his own head, which he knows is the pain getting the better of him, but that doesn’t mean he wants it to reflect in his tone. He heaves a sigh, “Sorry, just wasn’t up for it tonight, you know? Think I twisted my ankle a little last night, and I thought I would take a night. See if the swelling goes down.”
Jason frowns as he mulls over those words, but he doesn’t outright reject them. “Okay,” he starts, and Dick almost sighs in relief, if only internally, “So that was bullshit.”
Fuck.
“Jason-”
“We can do this all night, so you can keep lying to me, or you can just tell me what’s going on,” Jason’s gaze shifts from Dick to the rest of his apartment, undoubtedly looking for some kind of clue. Or possibly some sort of trouble. Neither of which he finds, because Dick’s too stubborn to ice his joints, and the compression wraps he has on are hidden by his clothes.
“I’m not kidding about my ankle,” Dick says after a moment of contemplating his word choice.
“You’re just lying about the cause,” Jason concludes after a moment. His head is cocked to the side, but it’s apparent that he’s fixated on the offending joint, “And it’s not the only thing bothering you.”
The problem with Jason is that he’s far more observant than most people give him credit for. And intelligent, for that matter. It’s easy to forget that Jason thinks Shakespeare is a fun read, and that he’ll spend hours debating the topic with Alfred, if given the chance (and Alfred is always willing). There’s also the fact that Jason tends to pick and choose when he’s going to press an issue; often because he intends to come back around to it, but only when the situation turns in his favor. But the favor here has always been Jason’s. Dick’s stuck on the couch of his apartment, unwilling to move unless absolutely necessary, because his knee will feel like it’s being torn in half if he does, and that’s to say nothing about either ankle.
“I don’t really want to talk about this, Jason,” Dick uses the name for emphasis this time. With a short, clipped tone that he hopes conveys just how badly he would like Jason to leave, but Jason’s also nothing if not obstinate.
“Have you tried ice yet? Or heat?”
The words startle Dick, and he looks to Jason with far too many emotions readable on his face. Jason merely raises an eyebrow in return, and Dick sighs, “No. I don’t think I can get up.”
“Oh,” Jason breathes the word, like he hadn’t expected the answer. And he probably hadn’t. He’d probably expected Dick to continue to deny reality. To lie through his teeth until Jason gave up (which wasn’t going to happen, but that’s beyond the point now.) “Okay. Got any ice in the freezer?”
“Yes- what?”
Jason’s gone in an instant, heading for the kitchen with little concern for Dick’s desire to be left alone. He comes back a minute later with several bags full of freshly scooped ice. He passes them to Dick, one at a time, while Dick slowly places them on various offending limbs.
There’s a dumbstruck expression on Dick’s face, as if he can’t fully process what’s happening, which might have to do with why he doesn’t stop it either. Jason disappears again, this time into the bathroom, and Dick just- let’s him. He’s not sure what else to do now that Jason’s set his mind to- whatever it is he’s set his mind to.
“Here,” Jason says when he comes back with a paper cup of water and a handful of pills. It takes Dick a moment to remember that, a. His first aid kit is in the bathroom just like most peoples’, and the leap for Jason figuring that out isn’t really a leap and b. That Jason’s come here for a (very rough) patch up job more than once, which means he already knows exactly where he can find said kit.
Dick swallows the painkillers with little prompting and passes the cup back to Jason, who must dispose of it in the trash, given that he disappears into the kitchen again. When he comes back, he looks at Dick with that sort of halfcocked, curious expression he gets.
“Anything else I can do?”
“Uh- no. I think you’ve done plenty,” and Dick means that. Jason’s done more for him than Dick would have done for himself, and the ice actually feels kind of nice on the throbbing joints. Combined with the compression, it’s the best relief he’s gotten all day. Maybe the medication will actually do something for a change.
“Good,” Jason says, and Dick assumes that’s the end of that. That he’ll go right back out the window that he came in, but, instead, Jason flops on the couch cushion nearest to him and nods at the long forgotten TV. “What’re we watching?”
“We?”
“Yeah,” Jason says without missing a beat, “I got nothing better to do, and distractions can help with pain. Trust me.”
And two things occur to Dick right then. The first being that Jason isn’t just doing this out of some obligation. He wants to help. Wants to make Dick feel better, and Dick doesn’t know what to do with that information. And the second is that Jason knows, on a very personal level, what it’s like to be in so much pain that his body doesn’t cooperate with him, and of course he does. Jason’s death had been far from pleasant, and he still wears the scars of it. There’s no doubt he feels it in his bones and damaged cartilage. Never mind all the other injuries since then, and there’s a long, long list that Dick’s personally seen the fallout of several times.
“I don’t know,” Dick says once his brain starts processing in the right direction again, “CSI?”
Jason snorts, “What, want to spend all night yelling at the screen?”
“Maybe,” Dick says with a shrug, “You got something better?”
“Hell yeah,” Jason reaches for the remote, and Dick passes it to him without question, “We’re gonna watch some good ole-fashioned zombies.”
And there goes Dick’s eyebrows again, “Really?”
“Sometimes a man just needs something a little autobiographical, quit judging,” and Jason says it with such a severe tone that Dick can’t help but laugh.
Truthfully, it’s the best he’s felt all night, and that doesn’t change once the movie-- however bad it may be-- starts. He catches Jason with a small, half-smile tugging at the corner of one side of his lips, and it helps Dick to relax a bit, to know that he isn’t being judged.

Got tagged by  @emerald-amidst-gold to do this quiz. Thank you for the tag.
Elluin Lavellan
Tumblr media
Ehehehe that fits Elluin except the “you’re very expressive verbally.” The poor woman is so unable to speak about her emotions that she had to pick up a hobby to deal with them before she exploded. 
And I also got tagged by @varric-tethras-editor​ (btw consider yourself tagged to do the quiz above xD) to:
1. Do this picrew
-I love how Elluin looks in this one!
Tumblr media
2. Take the Free Personality Assessment for my OCs to determine which of the 16 Personality Types they each are. But since I’m obsessed with Elluin, I already know this or her ehehehe.
She is an ENFP-A.
Curious – Campaigners can find beauty and fascination in nearly anything. Imaginative and open-minded, these personalities aren’t afraid to venture beyond their comfort zones in search of new ideas, experiences, and adventures.
Perceptive – To people with this personality type, no one is unimportant – which might explain how they can pick up on even the subtlest shifts in another person’s mood or expression. Because they’re so sensitive to other people’s feelings and needs, Campaigners can make full use of their caring, considerate nature.
Enthusiastic – When something captures their imagination and inspires them, Campaigners want to share it with anyone who will listen. And they’re just as eager to hear other people’s ideas and opinions – even if those thoughts are wildly different from their own.
Festive – Campaigners may live for deep, meaningful conversations, but they can also be spontaneous and lighthearted. These personalities know how to find fun and joy in the present moment – and few things give them more pleasure than sharing their joy with others.
Good-Natured – All of these strengths come together to form a person who is warmhearted and approachable, with an altruistic spirit and a friendly disposition. Campaigners strive to get along with pretty much everyone, and their circles of acquaintances and friends often stretch far and wide.
People-Pleasing – Most Campaigners are uncomfortable with the prospect of being disliked. To maintain the peace, they may compromise on things that matter to them or allow other people to treat them poorly. And when they fail to win someone over, they might lose sleep trying to figure out what to do about it.
Unfocused – The thrill of a new project – especially one that involves collaborating with other people – can bring out the best in Campaigners. But this personality type is known for having ever-evolving interests, meaning that Campaigners may find it challenging to maintain discipline and focus over the long term.
Disorganized – Campaigners’ enthusiasm is legendary, but it doesn’t extend to everything. Specifically, people with this personality type may try to avoid boring, practical matters, such as chores, maintenance, or paperwork. The resulting sense of disorganization can become a major source of stress in their lives.
Overly Accommodating – Campaigner personalities feel called to uplift others, and they may find themselves saying yes whenever anyone asks them for guidance or help. But unless they set boundaries, even the most energetic Campaigners can become overcommitted, with too little time and energy to tackle the necessities of their own lives.
Overly Optimistic – Optimism can be among this personality type’s key strengths. But Campaigners’ rosy outlook can lead them to make well-intentioned but naive decisions, such as believing people who haven’t earned their trust. This trait can also make it difficult for Campaigners to accept hard but necessary truths – and to share those truths with others.
Restless – With their positive, upbeat attitude, Campaigners rarely seem upset or dissatisfied on the outside. But their inner idealism can leave them with a nagging feeling that some major areas of their life just aren’t good enough – whether that’s their work, their home life, or their relationships.
